Hey Garmig can I pull the firmware from the ota and put it on my external sd card and go to boot loader and flash it that way? Or is there more to it than that? Thanks. Super cool dev your are.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
You have to rename the firmware file to 0P6BIMG.zip to do that.

Follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2824048

Note: Thanks for your words but I'm not a dev. :) I'm just trying to help here.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] ppgregory:
I do the same with custom recovery. Makes it easier for otas. Don't flash on this device much anyway except to regain root.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] treIII:
Ok. I installed the nandroid after removing the recovery files. And installed root. Then I installed the firmware by putting it on my sd card. The firmware installed stock recovery. So I just flashed twrp. Now I have xposed and sense toolbox. Also done custom keyboards and things. Just had to make sure I had busy box installed. Also I deodexed the Rom with root explorer before installing custom stuff. All is well other than twrp doesn't show my os. But when I'm booted to android in settings all is correct. Thanks.

is there any way to flash these s-off and rooted? i dont see clear instructions?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
The instructions to restore the nandroid backups are in the OP. Or what are you talking about?

You need TWRP (custom) recovery to do this.

Hey [MENTION=1131176]Garmig[/MENTION]:

I have a question. Since I hit up the RUU and then took the OTA, it seems that my device will no longer stay connected to a signal unless I am connected to iPV6. iPV4 is no longer working for me. Has there been some change in the new radios that I am not aware of or did I experience a bad flash?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Remix22:
/system/build.prop has unexpected contents

Hey guys, thanks for all the work you're putting into this.

My question might be stupid or I might be doing something wrong (I'm coming from a samsung device so I'm not completely used to HTCs yet): I'm running stock 2.22.531.5 rooted and I'm trying to get the 2.22.531.6 update so I flashed the stock recovery using fastboot and unrooted using Super SU full unroot. My guess was that since I'm running stock I didn't need to flash the nandroid backups. I tried to get the update (OTA or download and flash it from stock recovery) and my phone boots into recovery verifies the update package ok but then verifies the current system and gives me that error:

"/system/build.prop" has unexected contents.

Installation aborted.

Write host_mode:0 done

It happened to me when I updated to 2.22.531.5 but I had flashed the Harman Kardon stuff so I thought it might have changed the build.prop, had to RUU back to stock and then I could get the update.

IS it possible to update this way?

Cheers
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
That error is because system files were modified, you need to use my stock backup and recovery and then apply the OTA or you can use the 2.22.531.5 RUU but make sure to backup all your files/pictures first because it will wipe your device internal storage.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] decko5:
2.22.531.5 to 2.22.531.6

I am a little confused,

I am on

531.5

and the first step to apply the OTA says "Restore latest nandroid backup which is Tmo-M8-2.22.531.6-Stock-backup.zip

Do I work with the 531.5 backup and stock recovery files? or do I use the lastest 531.6 files? to install this OTA?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
Yeah, use 531.5 backup and recovery.

Do I flash it like i would a .Zip Rom?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] cdfosburg:
In the case of the RUU, you should run the .exe from your computer, follow the steps. Think of the RUU as a total restore back to out of the box, with the exception of S-OFF (as you still will have that).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] gamblor01:
I can't seem to get either RUU to run. I'm currently on 1.5.531.7 and trying to update to the latest 2.22.531.6. Obviously, I'm rooted and s-off. I'm still on the stock ROM, I just made some manual modifications (remove the sound from the bootanimation, deleted a bunch of bloat/logging/etc.).

I run Linux as my daily OS so I'm not sure what is wrong with the Win7 setup. I never really use it. Here is what I did:

1. Installed HTC Sync Manager on Windows, and then immediately uninstalled it (but left the HTC USB driver manager installed so that I have the USB drivers).

2. Downloaded the SDK for Windows (and put the directory in my PATH variable so I can run commands from anywhere in the CMD prompt)

3. Ran fastboot oem lock to relock my bootloader (and confirmed it shows as relocked when I reboot)

4. Enabled USB debugging and verified that fast boot option in power settings is not checked

5. Booted into fastboot USB

6. Right-click and run the ruu.exe as administrator

7. Tell Windows to go ahead and run the program as administrator, click Next in the installshield, click radio button to agree to license and hit Next button.

At this point, the RUU just seems to crash. Nothing happens, Windows doesn't even tell me that the program crashed, but it seems to disappear from task manager. Just nothing going on. I also tried the 2.22.531.5 RUU and I get the same behavior...it just crashes.

Anyone have any idea what is going on? I just want to get the update to 2.22.531.6 and figured the RUU was the easiest option. Once running that I'll just unlock the bootloader again, flash SuperSU from recovery, and make a few mods again.

If running the RUU isn't the best option, can I just download the 2.22.531.6 nandroid backup and restore it via recovery? I feel like that might put the phone in a "dirty" state though, and would like to flash from a clean slate. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
There are some answers already in this thread for your issue, you just need to search. Sorry I'm at work right now.

Also, you can use the 1.57.531.7 backup and recovery posted in OP and download the OTA by going to Settings-About-Software update.

Cheers!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] gamblor01:
Hmm...well I read through quite a bit of stuff in this thread but I still don't know exactly what to do. Got any suggestions for a search term? I'll go read but I don't even know what to search for. So far my attempts have been fruitless.

Note -- I'm not looking to return this thing to stock to send it in for repairs or anything. My phone works fine, I just want to get the latest version on here and continue to roll with root/s-off. I don't know if that makes any difference or not...just pointing that out.

If I flash back to the 1.57.531.7 as suggested and then run the OTA, will my phone still be s-off? If so I'll just do that. Then after the update I guess I would just flash TWRP and then SuperSU and be back in business?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
Yeah, you won't lose S-OFF if you update via OTA. You can root your ROM via twrp after the update.

Note: search for this: Windows redistributable

Haven't used my HTC in awhile I'm rooted and soff running aosp 4.4.4 ROM...I know there's a new update. But can I just flash the new radio on 4.4.4 ROM?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] gamblor01:
Awesome thanks man. Guess it's the runtime crap that I need to install. Unfortunately my wife and daughter are sleeping in my room (where my desktop is), and all I have is Ubuntu on my laptop here. I'll just forget about the RUU method and flash stock recovery from my laptop, then run the OTA, and re-root after that is done. If I have any problems will that process I'll search and then post if I can't figure it out. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] FreydNot:
This happened to me on my older laptop. I moved to my more modern desktop and all worked well. I figured it was caused to low free RAM, but really it could have been anything. Just wanted to let you know you aren't the only one.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] gamblor01:
Thanks for the info. It's a pretty beefy machine so I doubt that is the issue (Haswell i5, 8GB of 1866 DDR3, etc.). I think I'm just missing some of the visual C++ runtimes.

The OTA gave me a big red triangle while running and I couldn't even power down my phone. I plugged in the USB cable and that seemed to magically cause it boot (oddly enough). I'm back up and running but I think it failed because I didn't reinstall ALL /system apps that I removed. I was trying to shortcut things and not have to reinstall stuff (even though the HTC backup will put most things back). Guess I'll just flash the stock nandroid via recovery and run the OTA from there. Oh well.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Caldor79:
Just a quick question about the stock recoveries if I may. I noticed that the 2.22.531.6 recovery linked in the OP is only 14.1mb, but all of the previous recoveries are 24mb. Is that the correct file/size?

Thank you very much.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
I've extracted the recovery from the OTA, so should be good. I've tested it and works.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] bobjabroni:
Okay I'm a noob and getting a headache trying to figure out what to do here. All I want is the OTA update. Ever since the last update I wasn't able to charge my phone to 100% so I figured they fixed that in this OTA. I'm not trying to get full stock and all that. I want to just be able to update to this OTA and keep my root. What are the steps into just updating it. TWRP does not want to install the update from the zip. Always fails and I don't really know what to do. * EDIT* I actually use clockwork recovery

Hey guys, total noob here with setting things back to stock and dealing with HTC devices, I want to put my phone back to 100% stock everything including showing LOCKED for my bootloader. I had it unlocked I believe with the HTCDev, I am S-OFF, custom rom and recovery right now. What should I do to get this 100% back to normal and can receive OTAs for me to trade in back to T-Mobile
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
You can check this thread for the tampered text removal.

To lock the bootloader you have to use the command "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot mode. The bootloader will show "relocked". It will reset your device.

I'm not sure, but I think if you run an RUU after that it will show the bootloader "locked".

Do you need to flash stock recovery before running an RUU or does the RUU automatically flash the stock recovery as well (which I would assume but want to verify).

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
Wait a little bit more, if fail then you need to re lock the bootloader.

In fastboot mode use the command: "fastboot oem lock"
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] uoY_redruM:
Yeah, I did "fastboot oem lock" then rebooted fastboot. It showed "relocked". Had it on Fastboot USB and then ran the RUU as admin.

It's still stuck on Updating System 100% (been 20 minutes now). Just unplug the phone? Will it automatically go back into fastboot and I just try again?

No, don't unplug it, you could brick your device. Wait until the wizard finish.

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

I was thinking that might have been it actually because when the RUU launched, it didn't show an image version number.

Worked the second time. This time it showed an img number and everything went perfectly.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] FreydNot:
Now that the RUU has completed, does it show as locked or relocked?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] uoY_redruM:
Just checked. Unfortunately it says relocked. I thought it would say locked because it doesn't say anything about HTC Developer on the splash screen anymore but I guess not.

***Software status: Official***

***RELOCKED***
