I have the 1.12.651.17 recovery in the DL file. Is there a newer recovery than that one included now? Or is it ok to use that one?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
I'm pretty sure they are all the same...don't quote me on that lol

I have included the 1.54.651.8 stock recovery in the most recent upload
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] b_rangel29:
Cool. Thanks bro. Almost finished downloading now.

Edit: I'm not seeing the newest recovery after DL.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

I re-downloaded your zip from the op and all I am seeing in the stock recovery folder is the 1.12 version... Maybe I'm not looking or downloading from the right place, but just giving you a heads up. Could you post me a link please? I know I could probably use the older recovery, but it kinda gives me the willies doing that.. Man, I cant find that 1.54 stock recovery anywhere... Elusive little bastard...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Hmmm maybe I have not added it yet doh

I'll upload it now sorry :(
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Done :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] b_rangel29:
Excellent...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The device would be using the 1.12 recovery to install the OTA anyway. Not sure why you think you needed the 1.54 :confused:.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] b_rangel29:
I'm on the 1.54 currently so I figured that's what I would need to install future ota's...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I'm sure the "old" one would work perfectly fine. But it doesn't matter anyway at this point, I suppose :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] b_rangel29:
Yeah I wasn't aware of that until BD619 informed me, yet was still kind enough to upload the latest stock recovery to alleviate my concerns on the matter. The guys in this thread have been very helpful to a new-comer like me to an HTC device, which I am extremely grateful for. I guess some questions would appear as common knowledge to some people, but for others (such as myself), am just trying to learn as much I can and have not been doing this for several years.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I only commented to allay your fears (and anyone else's that might be reading) about using an "older" stock recovery, as its only useful purposes are flashing OTAs and factory resetting the device. And I have yet to see a version of stock recovery that can't perform those two tasks without issue ;).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] b_rangel29:
Ok cool. But pardon me if I'm mistaken; but your two prior posts to this one left the impression on me that my questions about the stock recovery were an annoyance/stupid questions. I apologize for my ignorance on these things, (and if I took your response in the wrong context), as I am still trying to learn about android modification, and it can become confusing at times. Thank you for the clarification and confirmation.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Nope, just trying to spread the knowledge. Sorry if my tone was misunderstood. Really difficult to express tone over the internet, but it seems most people err on the side of offense rather than assuming people are genuinely trying to be helpful. I typically try to lead users to proper conclusions rather than provide direct answers for two reasons: 1 because rule #1 on xda is to search first, and 2 because that's how I learned. I figure just giving answers away will lead some people (again, this is not directed at you) to never take the time to learn and always assume answers should be given to them. You've likely seen this behavior around the forums.

But I understand being cautious with your device and not wanting to risk damage to it; it is, after all, a beautiful device.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] xPhantom:
Woohoo, I just unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, and got root!

First order of business was to hide the on-screen buttons.

This is awesome, thank you to everyone who made this such a quick and painless process!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
How'd you hide the buttons?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] joshuaw84:
Got this from Adam who hangs in viper thread he mentioned it in a hangout " Add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to buildprop on any device and it will think it has hard keys. Hence no navbar." Make sure to thank him.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
But then how do you navigate?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] joshuaw84:
Well I'm on viper so there's pie but I don't like that much so I found an app called udn, it's a customizable nav bar

Edit: There's another called gmd I think that others are happy with as well

Sent from M8 on XDA Premium APP
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] xPhantom:
I use GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys

I thought about installing pie but decided I just needed something simple like GMD.

It's a great app and very customizable. I have mine set to where I tap the very bottom edge of the screen to bring up the nav buttons, and also made the nav bar slimmer than how it is stock.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StormMcCloud:
Thanks a million, I am so glad to be able to actually use the entire screen now.

S-off

what method for S off works for the sprint M8?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Firewater
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Demo3827:
please help Stock recovery

where can i get the stock recovery.img? please i my phone isnt working right i have to take back to sprint
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
If you download [MENTION=506238]O.M.J[/MENTION].'s RUU, you can do it yourself. I need the file as well, but I won't be trying this out until I get home.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Demo3827:
Back to stock =)

i found it the stock recovery.img is in the folder with the root files lol =) im back to stock
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
Oh, well...thanks. I will return to stock as well to get this OTA notification off of my screen.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjs2011:

Updated OP added a Stock Recoveries zip to post 1
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] undecidable:
Apologies, I'm a bit confused:

The two links in the OP say to install both

UPDATE-SuperSU-vx.xx.zip

and

Android_Revolution_HD_Root_and_BusyBox.zip,

but other instruction sets seem to say I just need to install

SuperSU.

Why would I need both?

In fact, wouldn't there be a conflict / overwrite?

I had a quick look and both include an 'su' inside.

I am not sure I need busybox

(though TitaniumBackup will install a version itself I think).

what have I missed completely?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Disregard the 2 links they were for reference when we fist started rooting this device.

I will remove them so there is no more confusion. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] undecidable:
thanks. will just install SuperSU then.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jchtcusre1:
Thank you, question about the new ota update?

Thank you.

Now that I am rooted with S on. how do I do the update? I see some downloads on xda but they all say for s off?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
You are welcome :)

Instructions are in post 2
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Duce HD2:
Ok, so please help a little lol. I downloaded the stock recovery files, now, how do I get it installed? Can you please give a step by step instructions? post 2 looks good, but still confused.. What do you mean by elevated command prompts and navigate to the stock recovery? I've been trying for the last hour and cant figure it out. We're all not PC geeks.. Thanks in advance for the help :))
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
There are instructions in stock recoveries folder on how to flash them.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rhe12:
Elevated command prompt: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/commandlinereference/f/elevated-command-prompt.htm

Navigate to the stock recovery location, meaning once you have the command prompt open, you have to change the folder to whatever the name of the folder that contains your recovery file and the fastboot executable.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Duce HD2:
I saw that, the problem I'm having now, is after I flash the stock recovery (sorry, a little newb when it comes to command prompts - shift>right click open command from here, then type what is in post 2 instr.) It seems to push the recovery, however, when I attempt to apply the update, the green bar on the phone only loads a third of the way, then goes to a phone with a red exclamation point, and after a minute reboots without updating to the latest software. I'm kinda of new to HTCs methods.. any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
I've never done an OTA but I think you need to be on a stock rom.

Did you make a backup after you unlocked and rooted? If so restore that and try again.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Duce HD2:
I am on stock rom, unlocked, s-off and rooted. Only thing I flashed is the HK sound zip...You think that could be causing the problem? It starts to flash the update, the stops, and goes red exclamation point and reboots after a minute or two. Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
One of the benefits to being s-off is you don't need to take the OTA anymore.

All you do is flash the firmware when it becomes available.

The H/K sound zip could be causing the problem as it's not stock for the non H/K devices.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jchtcusre1:
error message.

I followed the steps in post 2. I verified that i'm rooted with s on, downloaded the 1.54.651.8 stock recovery from your link, changed the name to stockrecovery.img, copied it to my android folder that I used to root the phone, got the phone to fastboot. but when I type the command under the c:/android it gives me and error Cannot load 'stockrecovery.img' I am under the admin command and i did not put in the quotation marks. Any Ideas on why this is not working ?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] miggsr:
Can. Post a screen shot of what you have on your computer screen?? And is hboot still ***Unlocked***
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jchtcusre1:

Yes still unlocked here is pic 13 of the phone. also Captured attached is a screen shot of the pc. I tried to go to s off using firewater that didn't work either. any ideas?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rhe12:
Try Stockrecovery.img as opposed to stockrecovery.img.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] miggsr:
I believe the issue is with command lines in cmd .... One moment while I turn pc on

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

And yes that definitely should solve his issue or he can type "fastboot flash recovery" enter 1 space with spacebar and drag the Stockrecovery.img into the cmd window
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Good lookin out fellas :D
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jchtcusre1:
Error message

Sorry for the delay, was out of town. OK did just what was suggested , left a space and typed Stockrecovery. still got the same error message. How do you drag that line from the windows explore to the command box?

Also tried using firewater to get "s"off that didn't work either comes back with can't do it on your device>

I basically am running the stock 1.54.651.8 already, All i did was root the phone and add twrp, super su using the method described on page one & then added titanium back up to the phone. I did not delete any of the apps I just FROZE them. Not sure why I can't just run the OTA the way it is . but the phone reboots into the TWRP and when I tell it to reboot the system it takes me back to what I have now. Thanks for the input, got any other ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rhe12:
Have Windows Explorer opened at the folder where the Stockrecovery.img is contained, then drag the file Stockrecovery.img with your mouse into the command line window.

Try a different USB port USB2 are best.

Try a different PC.

Try a fresh download.

Make sure the recovery file is in the same folder as your adb/fastboot.

I can receive call . but cant go to phone's desktop...

its been last 2 days , phone is on hands free activation page ...

I already try to run RUU RUU_M8_WHL_K444_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_3.30.651.2_R_Radio_1.08.20.0916_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_395172_signed_2

but it failed..

please guide me .. request........
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Sorry I don't know anything about the hands free activation.

There are a few guides in the General section.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] gypsy214:
I have a question... Before I unlocked bootloader with HTC and flash custom recovery.. I have now locked bootloader but with S-OFF.. I flashed stock recovery to install an OTA.. So now to flash TWRP again I get this message on CMD failed (remote: not allowed) Take in mind that I have now locked bootloader with S-OFF... Do I have to unlocked bootloader again to flash TWRP? I have attached a screenshot of the CMD window
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
You will probably have to unlock the bootloader again.

For the future being s-off there is no need to lock the bootloader.

There is a way to unlock/lock the bootloader without using HTC Dev but it requires SU which I assume you do not have since you just took an OTA, I used this method to lock my bootloader but I can still flash twrp.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] gypsy214:
Yes.. Unlocking/locking with adb shell and echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796 requires root.

But I tried to flash the firmware but it never updated the system version. Me thinking that it might have been because I locked my bootloader or flashing newest firmware doesn't update my system version... I was kinda confuse because been a while since I played with Htc stuff...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Right flashing firmware will not change the build number/system version.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Your build number/software version will change based on the ROM you flash. Firmware and software numbers are independent of each other.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] martyh1:
Just a few notes on my experience:

Supersu

I was running stock lollipop 5.01 on a unmodified One M8. The readme doesn't say anything about supersu like OP says it does. I figured that one out (just flash supersu using twrp). But a problem came with using the supersu in the zip file from the OP. After flashing it, when I ran supersu, it said the binary wasn't present and that it could not install it. I finally figured out I could use a latest beta version of supersu (2.47 I believe). I guess older versions maybe don't support lollipop?

HTC drivers (and HTC sync manager)

The ones in the root zip from the OP didn't work for me. They said they installed (64-bit ones for my win8.1 computer), but they didn't appear to be working. Once I installed the HTC sync manager, that worked. Guess it installed the right drivers or at the very least was needed in conjunction with the drivers in the zip from the OP? Really not sure.

ADB

I know fastboot.exe requires the adb dll but does it require adb.exe? I didn't see a need in this particular procedure for adb.exe, and the OP says that the readme mentions using ADB commands (instead of fastboot commands). Nitpicky, I know, but could be confusing for some.

TWRP

Also, I'd recommend getting the latest twrp instead of using the one in the zip file of the OP (the readme does mention where to get the latest), especially if you're already running stock lollipop 5.xx. I didn't have any problems with the twrp in the zip file from the OP, though. I just thought it was a good idea to run the latest twrp after the problem with supersu and lollipop, especially since I'll be using TWRP for backups (and restores) of lollipop.

Thanks for the instructions and packaged zip.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Thanks for the heads up and feedback :)

SuperSu

- Added link in post 2 for the latest.(not sure why I removed the SuperSU instructions)

HTC Sync Manager/ Drivers

- Added a link in post 2 ( I have never had a problem with the supplied drivers...I am on Win 7 though could be the difference)

ADB

- Not seeing any mention of ADB commands in the Read Me.

TWRP

- As you mentioned there are links to all recoveries in the Read Me.

Made a couple tweaks to post 1 aswell.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] christelle868:
Is there any way to install/flash SU with a re-locked bootloader and S-OFF?

I re-locked bootloader to use RUU to update to completely stock Lollipop so stuck with stock recovery at the moment unless there's a way to do this. Just want to flash TWRP so I can restore data from backup.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Being s-off there was no need to re-lock the bootloader. :)

You will have to unlock again to flash twrp then you can flash SU.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] christelle868:
Unfortunately I found that out after the damage was already done. Is there any way to unlock the bootloader other than HTCDev? don't want to lose all my data without being able to make a nandroid backup first.

After googling for the entire day I found this http://blog.drdroid.eu/2014/03/flash-twrp-on-htc-one-w-locked-bootloader-s-off/ would you recommend I try this? would it work? could it brick my device?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
The link you provided is not for the Sprint M8 if you could find the correct files I think it would work (never tried so just a guess).

I wouldn't recommend it unless you have 100% correct files.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You can fastboot flash TWRP as a zip. It has to include android-info.txt file from a firmware zip and the TWRP image named recovery.img.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] christelle868:
Thanks for the info! :good:

I used -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2534428 to pull the android-info.txt file (attached) from the firmware zip and renamed the TWRP. Will use 7-zip to zip and try the flash later and report back.

Update:

It worked! Flashed TWRP and was able to backup and flash su! :D:D

TWRP higher than 2.7.0.0 not working

Use 2.8.1.0, or update your firmware.

do i need to s-off for upgrade firmware?

Hi,

Is this rooting with PC or without. If there is an app that can root his phone, that would be great. Thanks for your help.:)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
SunShine should work fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
As far as I know you have to be bootloader unlocked and rooted for Sunshine to work...unless they have updated it recently and removed that requirement.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
That really depends on the Android version it's being used on - and the user didn't specify. But you are correct, if referring to Lollipop.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Lana30:

I thought Sunshine was an app you could use try and root an HTC One M8, isn´t it?:)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] nagimesi:
Sunshine rocks

After messing around with the phone for a couple of days, I gave sunshine $25 bucks and they sorted my phone out. Go by htcdev.com and unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP recovery, flash latest version of SuperSu, then run sunshine.

Do you have a link for the 2.8.1.0 recovery is that Team Win or Caps. I didn't see on the MIKMIK page
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] KingFnerb:
Dumb question, is there an s-on way to go back to pure stock including recovery? I never flashed a custom ROM, just TWRP and can't seem to find a stock recovery to flash.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] gscarborough:
You should include what version of software you are on
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Why not just update firmware?

And the MikMik thread is deprecated. You need to look in the XDA thread and/or official twrp.me website.

[Xperia Z1 General] jeff7424:
Hi everyone,

After few days of playing with the 4.4 firmware, I found out that the camera takes very long time to boot, and sometimes it says "Camera not available". But fear not, here's the solution for it, don't need to root your phone or switch back to 4.3 Jellybean.

1. Go to Settings > Apps > All.

2. Look for Camera, Camera common and Camera extension

3. Force stop and clear all the data.

That's it! You're good to go. I hope this helps a lot of people :)
[Xperia Z1 General] ascariss:
This didn't do anything but thanks. It is a bug and poor quality testing on sony's end.
[Xperia Z1 General] Wolfbreak:
Why so much People have Camera Bugs? I dont have any issue regarding Camera at all and i flashed new KK some Minutes after FR Firmware came out.
[Xperia Z1 General] Killer2k8:
same here, no bug whatsover on camera and i have done a lot, instead pictures are better on kitkat. flashed FR right after NUT rooted it.
[Xperia Z1 General] jeff7424:
No idea, I updated with PC Companion and I got the camera bug, but after doing the steps I posted above it's fixed. I agree with the pictures quality improvement on KitKat.

Then I don't know how to fix already. It works on mine tho. Maybe it's because of firmware update instead of clean install? Maybe clean install don't have the bugs lol.
[Xperia Z1 General] C_Karhu:
Still no camera for me neither... Tried PCC, also tried complete wipe including boot and internal sdcard. No luck...
[Xperia Z1 General] ascariss:
My camera works, but the start up time is too long, also focusing is not as fast as it used to be. I updated via pcc but in reality such problems are unacceptable for sony, with things not working for some, and working for others after updates.
[Xperia Z1 General] cippi21:
Funny thing is I had the camera bug and after clearing data and etc it was Ok but I start getting the sound bug right after that weird...now I went back to 4.3 til the next update
