Quick question. I am s-off and Im about to make the jump to lollipop. I have a htc one m8 HK. Does the latest firmware that was posted cover both models of the htc one m8? also, which one am I suppose to download? any help would be highly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] confli©t:
ok, i'll try it. i gre impatient the other day and just did it thru OTA. but atleast, next time, i know. thank you :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
I have firmware posted for each model in the OP...

if you're stock, flash this one:

4.20.654.10 Full Firmware from RUU (fastboot flashable): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934528520

if you're stock w/ TWRP installed, flash this one:

4.20.654.10 Modified Firmware....removed boot & recovery (fastboot flashable): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934528519
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] barneco:
another n00b verification request:

I'm stock, rooted, 3.31.651.2, s-on running TWRP recovery. Want to remain stock and rooted and get these OTA alerts to shut up. If I have it right, I just need to flash the full firmware via TWRP, then flash the stock rooted non-hk ROM via TWRP, right? Can I do those both at the same time?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You don't flash firmware via TWRP. It is done through the bootloader. Since you'll have to relock to flash the full firmware, you might as well just run the RUU.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] barneco:
Ah - thanks for the response. I'm new to the HTC platform and to the RUU concept - this is where I start leaving my comfort zone. Was hoping to use the recovery flash process(as I did successfully for the last 3.30.651.2 update) since I'm familiar with that. What makes this update different from that one that I have to re-lock?

Thanks again for the education - Seems I have a bit more to learn...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
The update you flashed via recovery was a ROM, which only includes software. A RUU contains both software and firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sheerJeenyus:
Hello everyone, I apologize in advance if this has been answered already, I tried my best to search for it but I haven't had any luck.

Before I get too into this, I must point out that I have rooted and unrooted this device a few months ago and had no problems at all. Now, nothing seems to work.

I'm trying to unroot my phone and remove twrp and go back to stock so I can get lollipop.

I have the h/k edition, but the ruu does not work with it. I keep getting an error that says ROM Utility Update cannot update your device and that I need to download the correct one. I have tried as many h/k ruus as I can find but all fail.

I also cannot find anything for my CID (spcs_004)

And my version main number is blank.

So this is where I'm stuck.

I can't seem to find anything that works!

If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you,

Sheer
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] joshuadub:
Did you relock bootloader and tried latest lollipop ruu?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sheerJeenyus:
I have not. I was told that I needed to remove twrp by running ruu before I could relock my bootloader.

Is this incorrect ?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
If you're S-ON, the RUU will not run successfully unless you first relock. You don't need to remove TWRP before doing this, but know that you will be stuck in fastboot and will need to run the RUU immediately after relocking.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sheerJeenyus:
I don't believe I'm s-off. I never paid for the program to do that. (originally wanted viper)

Other than twrp and root, everything else is normal.

And I really want twrp off my phone. I prefer cwm and desperately want twrp off lol

So I need to relock my bootloader before I do anything else?

Sorry I'm just very confused on the step by step process
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
ClockworkMod isn't an option for this device. Its development ceased quite a while ago. TWRP is really the best option, sorry. I think there may be a CyanogenMod recovery, but I know nothing about it.

So relock, run RUU, then you can unlock and flash custom recovery again (if you want).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
yes, just relock & flash RUU...TWRP will automatically be overwritten in the RUU process
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sheerJeenyus:
Thank you both, I will attempt to relock and run ruu lasted tonight and let you know how it goes.

Thanks again!

Quick question I updated to latest via external SD 06 method.

It ran twice by itself and in the final pass bypassed [4] TP (2) anything to be concerned about ? It does now say <power> to reboot!

I am s-off and flashed (I believe to be the right choice on BB ROM) modified no boot or recovery.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Nothing to be concerned about, as long as it finished okay.

Ok, on stock Rooted HK (in the OP.) Was reading up a bit on the Xposed Alpha that is out for 5.X and read different things about M8 users success. Has anyone who is using this stock rooted rom have any input on how this Xposed Alpha is working? My understanding is you have to install the APK and also flash a zip in recovery. Some were saying that their phones wouldn't boot up.

Please advise on your result. If you got it working please give any little non obvious tips as well as what modules are working for you.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rodohmes:
Not all modules work with it yet, but I was able to install and use some modules on Insert Coin without a problem (specifically Flat Style Colored Bars and Flat Style Keyboard).

Be sure to read through the OP and last few pages of the thread to avoid confusion and problems. There's also a thread out there that lists specific devices that have it working or not.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sheerJeenyus:
Could you (or anyone else) recommend a relock method? The few I found told me I either need firewater or some third party toolkit (not hasoons) that doesn't seem to have a working version for my phone.

Thanks again

Man I'm having a hard time with this. I do the 'fastboot oem lock' and now I'm stuck in the bootloader. Every time I try to run the RUU it just disappears after loading. I install the visual C++ runtimes that have been suggested and same thing. So I try to download the RUU zip and for some reason I cannot get it to copy to my sd card( can I flash it using fastboot?). So then I try flashing the full firmware zip with fastboot and I get the same signature verfiy fail that so many have mentioned in this thread with previous versions. I try with the generic firmware utility and it fails to start. So right now I have no working phone and dont know what else to do.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BigSplit:
I have never hated microsoft more or felt as dumb as I do now. So to update, I finally got the phone updated. After hours and hours of trying to figure it out, an old(unexplainable) bug from windows xp I encountered years ago popped into my head and it seems it somehow still exists in 7. I finally got the ruu zip copied to my sd card; had to rename it without the '.zip' extension, copy it to the sd card and add the extension again after it was copied. Why the same file can/can't be copied based on the file extension is beyond my comprehension and makes absolutely no sense, but yeah it worked and I seem to have a working phone. Its now 3am and I guess I'll save the unlocking/rooting for another day.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
You installed the wrong version of C++ libraries. There are quite a few versions. And you need the x86 version even if your computer is x64.

To find the exact version you need look in Application Event Log.

The problem is HTC, not Microsoft. RUU works fine on Windows 7 and 8.1. It is frustrating but it's HTC's sloppiness not Microsoft.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BigSplit:
I said that in reference to the zip problem, not the executable issue. I did actually do clean installs of the x86 versions linked to in this thread. Thanks for the tip on the log though for future reference
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
I see. Yeah I've seen some weird stuff Windows does with zips. You have to check the event logs because the link I suggested was what I was missing but might not be what your missing.

One other thing to watch out for that can cause weird sh$t is always right click and choose properties on anything you download and see if it shows a "Unblock" button.

If it does, click it (if you trust the source).

If you don't Windows puts restrictions on that file. If you Unzip it or Install it, everything it unzips or installs will have that Blocked Tag and have restrictions on those files.

It might not allow you to copy the file to another device, because it sees it as a risk to that other device (especially ZIP and EXE files).

Also I always try to use USB vs MTP. MTP can do weird sh$t too. I've had MTP corrupt SD Cards (requiring they be reformatted).

I have a question... My girlfriend just update her phone to Lollipop after all this time I been telling her to do so. Well she decides she dont like it and she wants to get back to Kitkat. (I know women never know what they want and always complaining).. In any case her phone been stock since day 1. Never rooted so I figure downloading the Kitkat RUU for pc she will be able to go back to Kitkat? I wonder if the hboot will remain latest.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Can't go back unless her phone is S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] gypsy214:
K. I thought it would be like Samsun's Odin or Lg update tool where if you have the old firmware you can flash it through download mode.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Nope. Sorry.

You can always use SunShine 3.0 once it comes out to S-OFF her device and then downgrade it. But that's really your only option.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
Can't he run the old Kit Kat ROM with new Firmware? I thought I read that you could, possibly from OMJ.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Was thinking the same thing. He should be able to do that, he just can't downgrade Hboot or firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Crawshayi:
I've never tried to RUU while S-Off so I have a couple quick questions. First, do I need to do the supercid command in fastboot if I'm S-Off before doing an RUU? Also, is it necessary to flash the stock recovery or re-lock the bootloader? I'm not trying to go back to stock or anything, I just want to update it completely with the latest RUU, flash TWRP and go back to ViperOne.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
if you're flashing a RUU that's not meant for you handset (ie, flashing HK RUU on non-HK handset), then yes, u need supercid

nope, no need to flash stock recovery or relock, since you're s-off
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Crawshayi:
Thanks. What would be the advantage to someone flashing the HK RUU on a regular M8? Do you need to do that to get the HK audio mods to work on certain roms or something?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
you would essentially have a HK phone then, as the 2 models are the same hardware wise.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Phrostbite:
Is it possible that flashing the correct firmware and a custom room can give you service issues? I have a buddy at work with sprint service but his is completely stock and he has service everywhere and I never seem to have even decent service. Sprint did all sorts of troubleshooting at a repair center but they said aside from some sort of odd hardware issue it must be the firmware and rom I am using.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] KennyG123:
If your firmware is correct then ROM should not affect signal strength.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Phrostbite:
That's what I figured. Oh well.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
If you have a hardware issue, you should get a warranty replacement. I've had two M8s that had network connectivity issues.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Phrostbite:
They said I can't get a warranty replacement because it's rooted and stuff.

Go back to stock ROM

Ok, I have gone through a lot of this thread and just want to make sure I got this straight, I am looking to flash back to a stock ROM (I am S-ON and unlocked w/ TWRP recovery), and from what I have gotten is I have to re-lock and then flash this (0P6BIMG_Sprint_HTC_One_M8_Harman_4.20.654.10_RUU.z ip) through bootloader and flash from my SD and then I can unlock again and install TWRP correct??
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
Yes correct
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
So lock the bootloader and RUU it. If you still have the issue, it's a hardware problem. I've sent my device to HTC for the same issue and they repaired it. I just locked the bootloader and RUU'ed it.

Quick question.... I'm trying to get this phone to stock as much as possible, I have to send it off because of a blown speaker. Anyway, I downloaded and ran the most recent RUU for HK, worked great. Now Im trying to mask the hboot. Im using an old one (dont really think it matters at this point) but when I try to fastboot flash it, after "writing 'hboot'..." I get "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" Im currently S-OFF and with a stock recovery. Its probably something stupid that I forgot to do, its been a while since I messed around with this phone. Sorry if this is the wrong thread, any help would be great.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
If your bootloader is already back to being locked, you have to flash the HBOOT via zip in RUU mode.

It's still unlocked, haven't relocked it yet.

Download the full RUU for your device onto your computer. Connect your phone and computer via USB cable. Boot into the bootloader and connect via Fastboot USB mode. Once you've done this double-click the RUU file on your computer, then follow the on-screen prompts. This will update your software & firmware to the latest version.

So I have an odd problem. Blinkfeed has no images, loaded stock from here and was tinkering around loading my apps from play store and then went back to configure blinkfeed to my preferences and it loads the articles but no images.

Anyone seen this or have an idea how I can resolve? I just got all my apps on it and really would prefer not to wipe and start over if I can avoid it...

Thx
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
If you want to get a replacement in a store you may need to do a wee bit more.

It will still show Tampered (I forget exact text but it won't look stock) in boot loader.

It will at least still say s-off and probably RELOCKED.

I've had savvy sprint techs that root their own phones and know what to look for (not that often you run into savvy sprint techs though).

There is usually an HBOOT available that hides the tampered text to look pure stock and show s-on etc.

If sending it to HTC direct, I don't think they even care if you sent it in rooted, but would run RUU just in case.

By the way running RUU and testing that side by side with OP's friend might be worth a shot before sending it in.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dopy25:
I believe it says "MODIFIED." That being said, the very first time I booted into hboot/fastboot it said MODIFIED. So I am unsure where that comes from. I didn't do anything to my system for it to say modified so I don't know why it did and still does.

I remember thinking that was odd because when I had the 3D it didn't say modified or anything until it actually was. Did they know my intention when I booted into fastboot?...... ..... creepy
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ThePhoneGeek:
Ok so I've continued to tinker with this to no avail. I redownloaded, updated to TWRP 2.8.5 (from 2.8.4), did factory reset before loading, etc. I had already updated the firmware from this thread a few weeks back, s-off months ago, etc. I go through the setup process, activation, etc.
