Good idea, I usually always remove boot, not sure why I didn't this time. I'll fix & also remove the cid requirements.

Btw, have you had any issues modifying the kernel using the kitchen?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mrlakadaddy:
You can put the s-off flashables in the op, there's one with boot.Img and one with them removed.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] klarthur:
My only issue would be t that I have already flashed the firmware once, would I be able to safely flash the other version without the boot.img?

A better question... As others have mentioned in the thread, would I just be able to flash a ROM that uses the old boot.img like viper and have that write the boot.img?

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

Does reflashing a ROM with a different boot.img than the firmware overwrite the boot.img from the firmware? I was under the impression that the boot.img could only be written by the firmware update
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] stovo06:
Keep getting an error saying wrong file in bootloader.

Supposed to be "OP6BIMG.zip" right? Think it says something about error OP6DBIMG.zip??? Goes to fast to read.

Think I'll head to work and hope for the OP to be updated.

Thanks everyone ?

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
OP updated w/ fixed firmwares....

-both firmwares no longer require supercid

-boot.img removed from modified firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I haven't had any issues extracting the kernel from the boot.img and modifying the ramdisk. But every time I make a kernel change and build it, I seem to lose Wi-Fi and sdcard. It's really annoying. I wonder how long it'll take HTC to release source for this . . .

Hi, I want to flash the RUU, but I have a twrp recovery, do I have to flash the original recovery first? Because I don't know which recovery to use. Or do I just run the FUU tool? Btw I have the Sprint H/K s-off and this is what I get from fastboot:

cid: spcs_004

version-main: (shows nothing)

bootloader: 3.18.0.0000

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] welshwarriorsf:
Can someone please help me? I'll describe my situation as best as possible. I'm just a bit confused with all the different options. I would like to upgrade my firware and software on my Sprint One m8 to the latest possible. Right now my hboot is: 3.16.0.0000 and my radio is 1.08.20.0610. I am S-On and have relocked (or at least tried to) my bootloader and it now says TAMPERED and RELOCKED. I thought this might alow me to download the OTA and take the update but that has not worked. I DO have an SD card and I am working on a Mac. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Since you relocked (which I don't recommend anyone ever do), you might as well just flash the latest RUU for your variant. That'll get everything up to date, and then you can unlock (or preferably, S-OFF), install recovery and root or flash a ROM.

Since you're on a Mac, you'll end up using the hboot method for the RUU, using an external sd card directly in your device (no computer needed). I believe all of the files and instructions you need are in the OP.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] welshwarriorsf:
Thanks a bunch for the timely and thurough response. I did some reading around and relocking the bootloader seemed to be the way to update for someone S-On. Your helpful reply is very much appreciated! :). Thought I'd be getting better at this rooting stuff over the years but it appears I'm getting worse!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] welshwarriorsf:
So I think these are the instructions I should follow. I've downloaded the RUU. Do I extract the RUU? It says to extract the "0P6BIMG.zip" but that's a different file than the RUU isn't it? Or is that just what I rename it?

Also, can someone link me to 7zip for Mac or another like program? Because the one I downloaded after googling it was apparently malware according to Chrome and other results appeared nearly as shady.

Thanks again to OMJ and Captain for all their help and hard work :beer:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
After extracting the 0P6BIMG zip put it on pit it on your ex. sdcard, boot into the bootloader hboot mode and it will search and parse the zip and ask if you want to upgrade.

http://www.kekaosx.com/en/
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
OTA updates don't usually have full firmware, so it's best to update in order, unless you're flashing the firmware from a RUU which will be complete

if u had flashed a custom recovery, then you would have wanted to flash the stock recovery b4 relocking

inside the RUU.zip is a 0P6BIMG.zip that u extract to sd card
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] 09eric09:
That's what I thought, although I already bypassed one Firmware zip and went straight to the latest one. Would you recommend I flash the whole RUU over again just to be safe?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
nah, u should be fine
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] JLine05:
I flashed the non HK modified firmware and have a strange screen touch point issue. Its very rarely recognizes when I touch the status bar. Im going to try the RUU and start over. I know its not a rom issue because I tried a couple of different ones.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] JLine05:
Still didnt work with the full RUU. No idea what the deal is. Is it ok to downgrade?

BTW I'm S-OFF
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yep, you can downgrade since you're S-off.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] JLine05:
Thanks, I downgraded and I'm still getting the issue. I'm starting to think upgrading to the new software did something to screw up the touch sensor in the phone. Does anyone have any ideas or would be able to assist me in trying to figure out what the problem is? Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
if u downgraded, the touch panel firmware was also downgraded....maybe it's a hardware issue. I would leave it stock & bring it to Sprint to check
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Phrostbite:
Hmmm so I flashed the newest firmware but it is still showing android version 4.4.2. Did i do something wrong. Everything says it worked fine. I flashed it via fastboot. I am s-off running venom roms.

I have a Sprint harman/kardon edition. In the bootloader it says the following when sdcard is inside

When I remove the sdcard it says :

OS-2.16.654.4

July 7 2014,20:53:58.0

As I have simunlocked the device for GSM use, It does connects to the carrier but does not start mobile data services. Under selling when I try to click on tab to "ON" . Immediately it says "Disconnected because service is unavailable"

I've already tried going back to stock by renaming harman specified ruu as 0P6BIMG.zip and flshing it through sdcard, it does makes the device go stock but doesnt seem to fix the above mentioned problem.

I would like to point out, it was working fine before I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 and a custom rom. I noticed that mobile data was not working in that custom rom, so I decided to back stock and now I am stock but mobile data doesn't work along with above mentioned status.

Please help.

Hello all, just got me HK Edition a day ago, rooted immediately and swapped Roms but now I want to us the stock ROM and I can't seem to get it to flash properly. I back up then wipe (philz recovery) and it stays stuck on the splash screen. any help?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
If you are using the RUU or zip in this thread you use it with the bootloader not recovery. The instructions are in the first post.

How to use:

-using 7zip, extract 0P6BIMG.zip to ext sd card
-boot into bootloader
-make sure hboot is highlighted, press power button
-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update
-press volume up & let it do it's thing...

Alternative Method

-Download Generic Firmware Update Utility (FUU)
-Extract generic_FUU.zip to a folder on pc
-Using 7zip, extract 0P6BIMG.zip (RUU) to this folder
-Rename the 0P6BIMG.zip to rom.zip, FUU will not run w/o the rom.zip, there must only be one rom.zip
-Run ARUWizard.exe & follow the steps
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Djay1809:

I posted this information in another forum and it was brought to my attention that I need to update my hboot.

Information

I was able to install and setup insert coin ROM, the instructions I found told me to try to get s-off so I tired that and I stayed on the splash screen for awhile and started the rom, but s-on still same hboot and when I did flash the ruu nothing changed.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] foxrider99:
So what would happen if I already installed the stripped down version on accident. is there a way to re-root, or download and install the modified version? Because, I can still get into my bootloader but I cant get into recovery. I have a HK and have S-off.

Thanks, Robert.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Sounds like you need to re-flash twrp.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] foxrider99:

flashing firmware only wont have any affect on root

u dont need root to install recovery, get the latest TWRP, boot into bootloader & flash. once flashed u can boot into recovery & it will prompt u to root upon exit

have u flashed the latest firmware?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Looks like either you ran the wrong RUU or the RUU didn't take, as indicated by your baseband version. You need to run the RUU for the 2.16 update so that your Hboot gets updated along with your firmware. This will fix the issue you're referring to with the long boot times. If you need more info, click the second link in my sig and hit up the section pertaining to RUU's in the first post.
