-copy rom.zip to another location b4 closing RUU exe

so should i flash it directly then i can flash the 4.4.4 viper one m8..??
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sneakyghost:
No. The ROM won't give you the firmware. Two different things. I recommend you to use the RUU's posted here, they will upgrade both ROM and firmware.

You can later replace the stock ROM with whatever you like, but you'll absolutely have to update the firmware, if you want to flash any 444 based ROM.

No the ruu will bring you up to date. FYI the ruu will wipe all your data and internal storage so back it all up. Use the HTC backup and it will restore all your settings and your home screen settings. So install the ruu, flash recovery, flash rom and on first boot use the Htc app to restore

i m on 4.4.3

If you're on Viper 2.5.0. you'll need to update your firmware, wipe your caches, then flash Viper 3.1.0. If you don't upgrade your firmware before upgrading your ROM you will have Wi-Fi issues. This process will save all of your data.

I apologize if I sound like a complete noob here, but to clarify I was talking about flashing through TWRP, not fastboot. Flashing the ROM in TWRP would accomplish this correct?

Thank you very much for your help
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
First I want to say thanks for providing all this.

Second I have bricked a phone from going down paths like this before.

Third I'm not challenging or questioning the correctness on anything.

So I really want to just understand/refresh what I'm getting into.

This is also partly knowing how much time I have to read everything and not do something stupid I'll regret later.

Now on to my questions.

I'm running BadBoys Harmon ROM. With the OTA update firmware and S-OFF. I'm having more issues with dropped calls, no data etc. than I have seen in a long time.

I did update Profile and PRL and that went smooth. But still acting oddly.

So I suspect that it might be related to not running the matching firmware (yet).

I'd kind of like to run the RUU first to make sure everything it perfect on the phone side of things.

I assume (traditionally for a Native RUU) I would have to HTC Relock, then run RUU, then Unlock again. Reflash Recovery and then Flash BadBoys ROM again.

But I'm curious about the SUPERCID thing, which I have used before helping my sister with WWE type phones.

I'm confused between SUPERCID, S-OFF.

So why is the SUPERCID needed for this? I assume that is telling the RUU to ignore the real CID.

But isn't that what S-OFF does?

Likewise, why isn't an HTC Relock needed?

So if I use the procedure for the RUU in OP. Where does that leave Hboot? Do I have to flash an unlocked one? Do I have to redo HTC Unlock?

If I do need to reflash HBoot, which one and where do I get it?

And last if I do run into issues or a better path arises in the future, can I go back? Say, to a non Harmon RUU that comes out tomorrow, will I be able to flash that and get all it's firmware?

In the past, some of these firmware updates cannot be reversed.

Oh, I see the warning about the SUPERCID. What happens if you don't set it? I'm curious.

Thanks for any info on this.

-I don't believe u would need to relock to flash an RUU, since you're s-off

-here's more info on SuperCID, taken from this thread

with that said, even being s-off you are still locked to your CID w/o superCID

I'll use the android-info.txt from the firmware as an example, here is the info inside from the HK firmware:

modelid: 0P6B70000
cidnum: [B][COLOR="Red"]SPCS_004[/COLOR][/B]
mainver: 1.54.654.9
btype:1
aareport:1
hbootpreupdate:12
DelCache:1

here is what a stock 1.54.651.8 android-info.txt firmware would look like:

modelid: 0P6B70000
cidnum: [B][COLOR="red"]SPCS_001[/COLOR][/B]
mainver: 1.54.651.8
btype:1
aareport:1
hbootpreupdate:12
DelCache:1

you'll also notice the OS version is different, 1.54.654.9 compared to 1.54.651.8...Sprint is always 651

so why does the RUU have a different CID? good question, I'm not sure yet. As far as the origin of this RUU, all I can tell you is that's it's from Sprint, but it's still a mystery as to what it's for.

and btw...this RUU was tested by both [MENTION=4366089]benny3[/MENTION] & [MENTION=1310675]chas123[/MENTION] before it was posted

the benefits of the firmware are still unknown. I see no reason to flash the firmware unless you're running the HK ROM, and even then it's optional
