Stuck

So I downloaded the new firmware to update my rom. I loaded the RUU via HBOOT and it rebooted my phone afterwards. I've been stuck in the boot screen for about 15 minutes now...... Is there anything I can do or do I have to wait for my phone to die before I can load the new ROM? I've tried the simulated battery pull and just holding down the power button and it does nothing....

Thanks.

Hold Volume up and power down as soon as the screen turns black hold power and volume down should reboot you into bootloader same thing happened to me
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tallen2303:
Thank you!!!!! I tried everything but that!

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

Now it keeps going into HBOOT and reloading the RUU file. I'm gonna try pulling the sd card after the next time and hope I don't damage anything...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] barneco:
So if I'm currently running stock, rooted, 3.30.651.2 with s-on and TWRP recovery, can I simply flash the rom above as I would a custom rom and be on stock 3.31.651.2? Seems like that'd be much easier than (re)prepping for the OTA update or messing with the firmware.zip and hoping I get it right.

Nice thank you I'm s-off so no need to run sunshine again right? Can I root the latest of h/k?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] welshwarriorsf:
I'm not sure about the second part of your question but you definitely DONT need to run Sunshine again if you are already s-off.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yes it can.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] brandonair95:
I know that. The question was directed at Sprint and HTC. Why has ours taken longer than T-Mobile? The website says we're in Stage 2 -_-
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
According to HTC's website T-Mobile is also in the integration phase of the Lollipop update. As far as I know no U.S. carrier has released a 5.0 Sense build, officially. It'll get here sooner or later.

Have you tried the .EXE RUU?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Accurs3D:
First off, I'd like to state that I flashed my unlocked and rooted device with the Google Play Edition Port for the Sprint M8 - Android 5.0. The only problem was that wifi wasn't working. I found out that the wifi wasn't working due to outdated firmware, so here I am. DOH!

I'm trying to use FUU to update my Sprint HTC One M8 's firmware with the 3.31.651.2 Full Firmware (OTA). At first, I received the ERROR 170 [USB]. I then updated the HTC drivers 4.2.0, and restarted my device into fastboot mode. I made some progress, and then got stuck on ERROR 155 [IMAGE ERROR] Through even more research I now realize that my device should also be S-OFF. , I now realize My device is currently NOT S-OFF. I believe I could make it become S-OFF with Sunshine but that'd cost $25.

(http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792)

For “Error 155 relock bootloader" do:

- Since my thread works only with S-OFF phones anyway, this error can be read as: you need to S-OFF first!

I'm looking at the other two methods for flashing my firmware to 3.31.651.2 but I've really no clue about Hboot/fastboot. Don't those two methods require S-OFF also?

I just want to get working wifi on my device with the GPE port 5.0 ROM.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
To run a RUU while S-on you simply need to relock your bootloader using the fastboot oem lock command. Afterwards, you can run the RUU from your computer. I typically run them while connected via Fastboot USB mode instead of while booted to the Android OS, as I've run across connectivity issues while trying to RUU the latter way.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, it does.

If it's not working for you, it's because your firmware is outdated. Update it, and WiFi will work.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
You are much better off spending the $25 to s-off as it will eliminate a lot grief. Once you are you can flash firmware and use RUU's and not worry about locking or unlocking the bootloader anymore.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Accurs3D:
I relocked my bootloader using the fastboot oem lock command like you said. My phone now says RELOCKED Security Warning, etc.

I then try to run the RUU from my computer using FUU/ARUWIZARD but now I receive the ERROR 132 SIGNATURE ERROR, telling me to get the correct firmware for my phone and to try again. I've also tried to flash via fastboot with the Fastboot oem rebootRUU and Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip commands but I just get 12 signature very fail errors.

Now I'm stuck at the boot menu and can't seem to get into recovery or boot into android.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
After relocking the bootloader you need to reboot to fastboot, Are you using the correct RUU? There is onr for the HK model and one for the non HK model
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Accurs3D:
My phone is currently in FASTBOOT USB

It's also RELOCKED

Security Warning

As for the RUU, I'm trying to use 3.31.651.2 Full Firmware from OTA (fastboot flashable): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173. Currently I am on 2.16.654.4 which was stock with the phone. I have a Sprint HTC One M8 non HK edition. I mean, I don't see Harmon Kardon on the back of my phone so I'm pretty sure it's not an HK edition.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] markb629:
I'm not 100% sure but since you're S-on I don't think you can flash the firmware separately which it looks to me like you're trying to do. You keep saying ruu but then mention the full firmware file from the 3.31. That firmware file doesn't have all the parts to upgrade from 2.16 because it was a small update. You would need the 3.30. Firmware first to get all the proper radio updates. But none the less I think your only option is to run the full ruu because you're S-on. The ruu file should be much larger than the firmware file. Somewhere around 1.5GB I believe.

Once you download the full ruu, you can then run that using your computer thru the USB cable. Once the ruu finishes you will now be completely stock and phone completely wiped (ext. Storage excluded). Don't bother setting up your phone because unlocking the bootloader (which will be the next step) will again wipe your phone. After unlocking bootloader you'll need to flash a custom recovery again then you'll be ready to flash away custom Roms once again. All these steps are what it takes because you're S-on. S-off makes everything easier.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Accurs3D:
I was being retarded and not using the actual RUU.exe which was ~1.6GB. Instead, I was attempting to update the firmware via the generic FUU which was MUCH smaller in size. I finally managed to update my phone's firmware via the 3.31.654.2 non-HK.exe. After updating my firmware, I then re-unlocked and re-rooted my phone before flashing CWM, SuperSU, and loading the GPE 5.01 port ROM.

Now I have wi-fi on my M8 and Lollipop so I'm happy that everything's working properly.

TLDR for making 5.01 work properly on S-ON One M8:

Flash firmware to latest using the proper 3.31.654.2.exe

Reunlock/re-root phone

Flash recovery

Flash ROM

Thanks for the help though.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
If what you used was a .exe then you used a RUU. 3.31.654.2 is the HK version. 3.31.651.2 is the non HK. Note the 654 and 651, Thats how you can tell the difference. Anyway im glad to see you have it working. Spend the $25 its well worth it because it would have eliminated all the grief you just went through,,,lol.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vic_Vinegar:

How can I check what firmware I'm running?

I keep switching back and forth between GPE, AOSP, and Sense, that I can't remember.

One thing I read said "build number", but I want to make sure.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Build number will only tell you the software version of the ROM you're running - not your firmware.

It's best to try and keep track of what firmware you flashed, but in the absence of that, the OS line in HBOOT *should* reflect the last firmware file you flashed (unless you're using an outdated recovery).

I typically prefer to go by my baseband (radio) and see what firmware package included it so that I know what my base firmware is. Because if you flashed the carrier-agnostic Lollipop firmware, for example, it would change your HBOOT OS line, but most of your firmware would still match whatever your baseband reflects.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
Thanks Capt

You can only flash firmware while running stock ROM, correct?

How about this? Is this OUR updated Sprint firmware? I thought I flashed the GPE firmware linked in your LP GPE thread, but did so while running AOSP.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] galexandr:
Good afternoon forum.

I am going to root my phone, unlock bootloader, install TWRP, and get S-0FF, unlock my SIM CARD.

Thank you for your time.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Kisakuku:
Yes, looks like 3.30 or 3.31 non-HK Sprint firmware.

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Or unless one has a habit of editing android-info.txt.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Flashing firmware is completely independent of your ROM.

Your OS reflects the GPE (carrier-agnostic) firmware, while your baseband reflects the Sprint 3.30/31 firmware update. This is a case where it can't be easily determined which firmware you're on, because the 3.31 firmware didn't include an updated baseband/radio.

Well, I did an RUU of the most recent Sprint release. Then a few days ago, I flashed the firmware from your GPE LP version linked to DigitalHigh's thread.

This may have been pointless, but I kept hearing it was needed to be done in order to get LP AOSP ROM's to boot.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Not sure where you heard that, but Lollipop AOSP boots fine with the 4.4.4 firmware. There might be Bluetooth or Wi-Fi issues without it, but ymmv.

If you are going to pay the $25 to go s-off stay s-off it wont hurt plus it will make life a lot easier for you in the future if you decide to mod your phone.

Apparently that's a kernel issue and not actually related to firmware, as it appears to be specific to that ROM.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
I personally would check md5 on the package compared to what you have downloaded. I believe that the .13 firmware has little change to it, so if .9 is working good for you stick with that. Im personally waiting for some development to mature a bit more... It would not have messed with any apps if you just flashed firmware, if you downloaded the .13 stock rom i would md5 check that because your problems sound rom related not firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] aysiana:
I did check my md5 before I flashed it and it was good so I'm not sure what went wrong. I ended up having to just wipe and restore a nandroid. Then flashed back to v.1 Rom and .9 modified firmware, the rewiped and reflashed v1.1. Not gonna flash the firmware for now cuz I guess I'm fine without it.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The best way is to be S-OFF and simply flash the updated stock rooted and firmware. No need to wipe anything.

If you really want to take it as an OTA, you need to undo any modifications to /system and flash the stock recovery. Then you can take it as normal. You'll have to reinstall your custom recovery afterwards, though if you prefer taking OTAs through system, maybe you don't really need a custom recovery at all.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] epdp14:
I just tried following these steps:

-rename firmware to firmware.zip

-copy firmware.zip to your sdk folder

-boot into bootloader

-plug in usb

-select fastboot option (screen should say fastboot usb)

-type Fastboot oem rebootRUU

-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

-when it's done, type Fastboot reboot

with the 1.54.654.13_modified_firmware.zip and everything seems to go fine, but when I reboot the phone on the last step it still shows as .9 instead of .13 and does the update nag... any ideas? EDIT: I am S-OFF btw.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
If it flashed successfully, what exactly is the issue?

The number in the bootloader might not change unless you flash the updated ROM. I'm still not certain if that pulls from main version or software version, but if you're S-OFF and the flash completed without errors, then your firmware should be up to date.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] epdp14:
