how to flash the firmware, I can't flash it. it keeps saying failed.
[One (M8) Android Development] MarkGiardini:
Hi mate

VIA ADB

"fastboot oem readcid" to check your current CID

"fastboot oem writecid 11111111" changes it to supercid

"fastboot oem readcid" to check if it has changed.

Then, still in ADB

1) fastboot oem rebootRUU

then the phone screen goes black and I get a silverish HTC logo

Then I typed :

fastboot flash zip <whatever your firmware is named>.zip <enter> do this TWICE

Then finally

fastboot reboot.

Then into recovery and flash the ROM using the normal method.

This way you will instal the ROM and have it WiFi enabled from the get-go.

I did it this way and had no dramas.:D
[One (M8) Android Development] drakegao:
Thanks, that means I need to get super cid in order to flash this firmware?

Is there anything bad forgetting supercid?
[One (M8) Android Development] MarkGiardini:
I didn't need anything per say.

All I did was those three commands, and then it allowed me to flash the RUU and firmware via ADB and the ROM thru TWRP.
[One (M8) Android Development] Snah001:
HBOOT 3.19.0.0000 FROM THIS ROM WITH RED TEXT REMOVED

Don't do this when you are not familiar with this kind of procedure!!

Procedure:

Download mmcblk0p11MOD.zip file from below and unzip it.

You will have now the file mmcblk0p11MOD without extension.

Then connect your phone (booted completely) over USB with your PC.

Copy this file to the root of your internal SDCard.

Open command prompt (CMD) as administrator when possible.

1. Type "adb shell" and hit enter then type "su" and hit enter again. This will put you into the android shell and give you root privileges.

2. Next type "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p11" and hit enter. This will dump the original Hboot to your sdcard. Keep it as backup.

3. Type "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p11MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11" and hit enter.

Now the file will be flashed over the existing Hboot.

Reboot your phone to check the result.
[One (M8) Android Development] MarkGiardini:
Hi mate -

When you say "Then connect your phone (booted completely) over USB with your PC." do you mean Fastboot USB mode or simply connected to the PC via USB?
[One (M8) Android Development] SoLdieR9312:
Yeah, you should not dd firmware.. high risk of a brick :P

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

Thanks as always Kev.

I've modified the firmware package and removed all files that are not inside our 3.28.401.2 Firmware zip,

it looks like your picture now.

Stock Firmware + NoRedText HBOOT here
[One (M8) Android Development] Snah001:
Simply not true.

When one does exactly as I wrote then it is fine.

Things only can be messed up when people start to alter the file themselves and change f.i. the size.

But people who have no clue what they are doing with flashing in general should stay away from all what flashing concerns.

It is a XDA DEV environment here so people in here should very well know how to handle it.

And booted means it is booted into android fully so simply connect pc or laptop to your phone by USB.
[One (M8) Android Development] SoLdieR9312:
Yeah, thats probably right, but you know xda, most of the users don't know what they do.. so fastboot ruu method is safer then dd :P
[One (M8) Android Development] MarkGiardini:
Thanks mate - worked a charm :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Snah001:
But then also they can flash a wrong sized file and it is also bricked!!

So again when one doesn't have a clue about flashing shouldn't be in here.

[One (M8) Android Development] Snah001:
Go to Settings / Info and check for your buildnumber.

That must correspond to your current firmware version.
[One (M8) Android Development] bizon:

I have just one question: is there any way to enable fastcharge or this kernel does not support this option?
[One (M8) Android Development] iceandfire:
I'm able to add all of the included quick setting tiles on the latest 4.4.4!

How's that possible? Is it a feature/mod because I don't see it mentioned anywhere in this thread. Pretty cool though.

[One (M8) Android Development] daffie:
Fantastic new version...thanks Llab!

If I may...a short general question. Recently switched to a Mac OS machine, so need to setup ADB and M8 driver from scratch. I've searched myself silly trying to find a M8 driver for the Mac, but can't seem to find it?! Anyone could point me in the right direction...I would be really thankful for the help.

Need to update FW first to be able to flash new rom, that's why I need ADB and drivers.

What variant of m8 do you have? you may need to change your MID number
[One (M8) Android Development] Snah001:
Did you check MD5?

Try to perform e new download, check MD5 again and flash again.

When fault persists something else is wrong.

mine is HTCCN703, and what MID number should i change? i got s-off and supercid by javacard btw

Huh? I have 2.22.401.5 and did Fw update before installing pre-last version of Maximus 7.0. Did fw jump from 2.22 to 3.28...is that correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] Snah001:
When you updated your firmware before flashing the Rom and all went Ok then it is on the latest firmware.

Info under settings is put there by the build.prop of the new Rom.

You can also check bootloader version in bootloader screen. It should say hboot 3.19.

[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
Only through an official OTA
[One (M8) Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Installed this morning on my TMOUS M8, WiFi Calling files were not loaded along with it. The Aroma installer only gave me the option of selecting International M8 during the flash, so maybe it doesn't detect the TMOUS variant currently.

I am set to Super CID, so let me change it back to the factory one and try flashing again.

[One (M8) Android Development] HTC_Phone:
I believe that T-Mobile WiFi calling is going to require the native base from T-Mobile, being that this is 4.4.4. I could be wrong since HTC implemented a lot of the 4.4.4 fixes into 4.4.3, maybe it's just a matter of taking the necessary files from 4.4.3. I'll upload them here in a sec.

Update:

Here are the files for T-Mobile, including all the wifi calling features. this zip is not flashable, just set permissions and all that. Sorry I didn't have time to make it flashable. Let me know if it works for you all. Keep in mind these files are from 4.4.3 and

MAY NOT

work on this ROM. You take inherent risks and are responsible for any force closes. Have a backup.

[One (M8) Android Development] patensas:
First of all remove your serial and IMEI from your post.

Second if you want to flash maximusHD v8.0.0 you have to set SuperCID and flash the latest firmware before flashing the rom.
[One (M8) Android Development] zyborg:
I tried to Super CID (>fastboot oem writecid 11111111), but got the following error: '[JAVACARD_ERR] SD/USBDISK Init error'

Please note that my device is S-ON! - I tried to get S-OFF using the firewater method, but got the following error: '****** device patched by HTC, you are out of luck *********'

What am I doing wrong?
[One (M8) Android Development] NotATreoFan:
The HK option works great.

You cannot flash the HK mod if you are S-On. You must be S-Off, and the ROM even indicates that where you select the option. Unsigned firmware and Fastboot commands such as WRITECID will not work with the security flag enabled.
[One (M8) Android Development] zyborg:
Okay, how do I get S-OFF then...? As you can see from my last updated post, I have already tried with firewater method, which did not work - I got the error: '****** device patched by HTC, you are out of luck *********'

I have the original 3.28.401.3 which came with the ROM on page 1.

Two questions :

1) is there much difference in both these?

2) can I flash via TWRP or is this to be done via ADB in the same fashion as the original firmware, ie RUU, then flash firmware.zip twice, followed by reboot?

thanks
