[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
LOL! OK...at work now. Here's what happened. My verizon warranty was only 14 days and I purchased it in May. I thought about calling HTC but I have 2 friends that had things go bad for them and HTC wanted like either $300 or $350 to reformat the phone because they were caught with Soff/UL. I kept playing around with it and I finally got into a mode I have never used. When I followed the instructions earlier I went down to factory reset in the Hboot screen...thats when all that happened before and I couldn't get the phone to boot into anything after sitting there. I finally got it to boot by holding all 3 buttons simultaneously and it booted into the RUU ROM. I went back into the Hboot screen and this time I selected recovery in Hboot and went trough a menu that I hadnt seen before (Blue text). I found a factory reset in that area and it got stuck too and you could see that it was in the / Data partition when all this was going on so yeah, my data partition is hosed. I'm back up and running Dirty unicorns now and it was working properly but when I re installed flashify to get my custom recovery back It flashed it fine but now after reboot Flashify and quickboot are not there and I get an error saying"Unknown error code during application install: -24" when I try to re install them. I'm going to try and reinstall the Rom and Gapps and see if it continues. Dang this suks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
I wonder if tunfs and mkfs could be run?

I have the bianries but I am at work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Cool...I'll PM you tomorrow or soon and see if u are around. I went back to SF for now and everything is working fine. Thanks Scott!

why does it say error cannot open 0P6BIMG.zip

I keep getting an error cannot open after I type the line: fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip

How do I fix this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
it is much easier to use the 2nd option of running from the sd card.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] studiorat:
I dont think it was a space issue ..plenty of that so....wasn't that, ADB and Fastboot don't like pushing from my puter, they function and connect to the phone and simple commands like reboot and such...but whenever I try to push to the phone it never works, might be the location of the programs, I am not to keen on how exactly they like to run , also the files you push need to be in the same folder as adb and fastboot, I am not sure if the location I use on the root of my C: drive is the correct location and I cant find a tutorial on setting it up perfectly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Not space. Ram. How much ram does your of have free?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] studiorat:
ya know I don't know off hand I thought I was at 4GB with at least 3 free but I will look at that, Good Point Thanks man!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Kidinferno2113:
Hello, I tried running ARHD 8.1 on my Verizon M8 and I had problems with my APN, I couldn't connect to any mobile network, and I was constantly roaming. I flashed this RUU, and I was able to completely reset everything, I can connect to mobile networks, but I can't receive MMS. Do you know if Verizon updated to different APN settings than the default for this RUU?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
No but you try doing a factory reset from stock recovery now and if that doesn't work you can edit your mms apn yourself.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Kidinferno2113:
Do you know where I can find "correct" values for the APN? I'll try factory resetting and see what happens
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You get to this in the mms/sms app settings/mms/connection settings.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] regspy:
Thank you, i finally S-OFF my device and brought it back to life with this RUU

For people who are stuck in HBOOT with S-ON and Re-locked/tampered state, the only way to get S-OFF is through a java card, luckily one of my friend was traveling to UK and i sent it to him where he got it done from fonefunshop. My phone was s-off and shipped back within a day. Great professional service from fonefunshop, they only do this service for people within UK.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blacknsb:
When I first bought the phone I did the s-off and rooted so i could have the unlimited tethering, I never installed a custom rom, I just flashed a moded tether apk. I'm trying to update the firmware so I can install one of the newer custom roms. My question is, can I flash the stock recovery and install the Verizon OTA so I get the new firmware? or do I have to do this method first? Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If you return your tethering files/settings to stock. You could dirty flash a stock odexed Rom and then take the update.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blacknsb:
Thanks for the response.

You wouldn't happen to know where I could find one of these stock odexed roms, would you? I can only find the for the GSM models. I went ahead and flashed the stock recovery and tried the update but it failed, haha.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blacknsb:
Last question, I promise. It says that the latest firmware is required and I think this is a step up from what I have on my phone. It says 1.55.506.2 and my version is 1.12.605.11. Is it still good to do the dirty flash? Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Make a nandroid first and make sure it's on your sd card. If all else fails run this ruu and restore your data. It should work since you are clean stock with only the WiFi hack (which you can do manually and should learn how to do anyways so you know how to undo it). It's a single file edit.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blacknsb:
I appreciate it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jake.99x3:
For some reason my data isn't mounting. Do you know of a solution? I flashed your RUU but it still doesn't mount
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Did you let the rom boot up fully once ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jake.99x3:
Yeah, the partition just was corrupted some how. Has happened twice but I was able to clean it.

Ok well...I flashed the RUU TWRP zip and that somehow let me get into the bootloader. I factory reset from hboot and tried to flash the RUU again and it still fails.

Factory reset must be done with stock recovery. To exit ruu mode and go back to boot loader the command is "Fastboot reboot-bootloader".
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rudyolph:
When I do that it just goes to a the black screen with HTC on it and triangles with exclamation marks in all four corners of the display.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Ok...what happened to your phone that you ended up needing to ruu? I noticed your system partition failed too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rudyolph:
I s'off'd my phone a while back using sunshine. Then installed 1.8 version of ViperROM and that worked for awhile pretty well. Then just recently my phone started random rebooting and apps were force closing. I tried to upgrade to the 2.1.0 version of Viper and the app crashing continued.

I suspect I have a hardware issue. So I'm trying to go back to stock and plan to try and return the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Can you try the sd card method?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rudyolph:
I don't currently have an sd card but I'll see if I can get one. I'll be in touch.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pball52998:
Thank you so much for this! Exactly what I needed :o couldn't get the first method to work so I used the second one. In fact waiting for first boot to finish now :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rudyolph:
Ok so I chatted up with HTC. They said I could use one of their 3 options:

1.) Send in the phone for repair under their Advantage program to get fixed.

2.) Send them my phone and they send a refurb out once they receive it.

3.) They will send me a phone first and I'll send mine out after. $600 cc hold until they receive my phone.

So now..since I can't seem to get this thing back to stock using this approach which option should I take....decisions decisions.

Has anyone tried sending in their phone with a custom ROM on it still and not had issues with warranty?

Also...any idea how good of quality their refurbs are? My phone is emaculate minus this one major issue. lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JediMindTrixx:
Have you tried to flash another custom ROM just to see if it is a hardware issue or maybe something in ViperOne?

Have you tried this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rudyolph:
Yes I tried that method. I have also tried carbon rom, multiple version of viperone, and also just recently a stock rom with nothing but root. The viper roms either fail to install or once I finally get an install working everything crashes later on. Carbon ROM didn't completely install even though it looked like it did. I only had half a adroid built and most things were missing and apps crashed. The stock ROM I just did looked very promising. The install went smooth and it ran great for a couple hours. Then...it started crashing like crazy again and locking up. I'm definitely thinking this is a hardware issue. Some kind of memory issue most likely. Hopefully the refurb is in decent condition because my phone is super immaculate. Scratches make me crazy.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JediMindTrixx:
Yeah, that sucks bro! One more thing you could try is get a SD card and make sure to wipe internal in twrp, if you can't get SD card, attach your phone to your PC and delete everything but the folder with ROMs in it since with no SD card you can't wipe internal.

The refurbs are usually pretty decent.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rudyolph:
Hmm I thought you could still wipe internal with twrp regardless of a physical SD?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JediMindTrixx:
I just looked, you're probably right since it does say "Internal Storage." I just remember on my M7 I wiped internal and everything was gone. It was a ***** to get back. Had to sideload my ROM. If you wiped it before, then you're absolutely correct... I know if may sound dumb, but try wiping everything x3. I've since residual stuff left from previous ROMs. What version of TWRP are you using?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rudyolph:
2.7.1.0 which is the latest for the m8.

So, um, dumb question. What happens if you run this and are s-on? Bricktown?

I got a replacement phone today and stupidly accepted the sw update without thinking of the implications on s-offing it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Sunshine was updated to address that for you.. s-off RUU won't flash for you as S is on and it will enforce signing.

None of my S-off only RUU's will flash for you. The only RUU that will flash for s-on users is one that matches their current (or newer) software/firmware combo.

Encrypted Internal Storage

Thanks for this. I encrypted my internal storage running Venom 1.8 and it was a mess to get off. I did factory reset but with TWRP installed it used that bootloader to try to wipe phone instead of the RUU bootloader. Since TWRP doesn't see SENSE encrypted storage it could not clean up my \data partition or my internal storage. The only way was to run this RUU to overwrite the internal storage and rebuild the partitions. Now I my internal storage is back to normal and I was able to install Venom 2.4 after the firmware update. Don't encrypt your internal storage if you don't need too. I prevents functions with TWRP from seeing the internal storage, i.e. performing a backup.

once that is done and i go to bootloader and then click hboot it says checking sd card and then says no image found
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Double check that you don't have an extra .zip in the file name. Right click it on your pc and hit properties. Other than that it has to be in the root of your sd and fat32.

i am gunna try something. i am reformatting the card to fat32, but i right clicked on the file and it says to unblock. I will try that and see if it works

Hey guys, first and foremost THANKS TO ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO WORK SO HARD AT GETTING THIS OUT AND WORKING FOR EVERYONE!!! :D

alright, just had to get that out.

so i usually dont reply to any of the forums unless im really stuck and ive read through the entire post... so here it goes...

im having the same problem...

ive formatted my sd card to fat32 like 4x now

downloaded the file 3 times

checked the file name and making sure it isnt names XXX.zip.zip

ive been doing it through the hboot straight from the phone. i was actually successful in flashing the RUU and everything went well and smooth the first time but i noticed it didnt flash right because my hboot was still 3.16 when i think its suppose to be at 3.18 right? running venom ROM on my phone, i knew something wasnt right because it takes so long to boot and theres no boot animation and the splash screen stays there for like 5 min before it boots to the phone...

so now im trying the same thing even had to wipe out my sd card to format to fat32... so im kinda stuck and i dont want to do the ruu oem fastboot... any suggestions guys?

so mine is saying the same thing
