Sorry to ask noob's questions here but I could not clarify the matter somewhere else.... It's mentioned "Stock Rooted ROMs". I ran RUU with 3.30.654.2, then I got OTA update for 3.31.654.2. Do I have root on my device now and, if so, how can I get benefit from it? Do I need to install some additional apps for it? Thanks in advance for anybody's help

3.31.654.2 Modified Firmware....removed boot, hboot & recovery (fastboot flashable)

the file uploaded @ this link is less than 500 kb. is that the firmware?

latest update will unroot your phone and wipe your SD card

I used the Phone ROM update utility to make the Sprint_HTC_One_M8_3.31.654.2_RUU update, big mistake

1. SD card is wiped

2. phone is unrooted

3. recovery is gone

Make sure you have a

full backup

of your data on

external SD card

, as all your data will be deleted

I keep getting error can't open firmware. Tried downloading again and same error. t/u

GOT IT TO WORK...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
Although #1 is a bit unexpected, #2 and #3 are completely expected when running an RUU. It will put the phone back to factory.

Wiping internal SD is not uncommon either.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] v01rider:
i flashed this one (only 291k). it updated rp and radio. but when i check software version, it still shows 3.30. is that a rom conflict? thanks for all the hard work you guys do! merry Christmas!

edit: booted into hboot to run the adsp firmware and the OS says 3.31.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Software & firmware aren't the same. Updating your ROM will change your software version, whereas updating firmware will change your firmware version. Only way to do both at the same time is with a OTA or RUU.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] outkasted:
How can we get to know the change log for the latest firmware posted on the first post, namely Sprint_HTC_One_M8_3.31.654.2_RUU for HK edition of Sprint M8?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] arcadia2uk:
Maybe I should have taken precautions, but since the thread title says Stock Rooted ROMs I surely didn't expect that the internal SD would be completely wiped out: Reason why I decided to put out a precaution for other users. If you want to keep your backup of your apps, make sure to backup all data on your external SD card, otherwise you have a lot of work in front of you downloading and re-installing all your apps. Notably if you have spent hours to make the Phone yours. I have about 170 apps, and de-bloated the ROM with some 150, not to mention all specific settings under settings and notably in the 30+ Xposed modules running. A royal pain... I still haven't figured out how I kept WiFi on permanently, which I need as I don't have signal strength enough to use 2/3/4G at home, but has to rely on WiFi Calling as the RF emission from the AirAve is beyond healthy.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
the stock rooted ROMs are based on 3.30, if you take the 3.31 OTA, you need to install SuperSU from play store

you've been a member here at xda since 2010 and you didn't know flashing a RUU would restore you back to stock? RUU's reset internal data, but do NOT erase external sd cards

the RUU even has a caution, when u install...

Hey, is this necessary? The 3.31? I've got the 3.30 and I usually used capts from TheMikMik and he hasn't updated this (yet)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
The 3.31 firmware update was very small and didn't include a change in baseband. Until you start using a ROM based off the latest OTA I wouldn't worry about updating firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
If you had flashed a stock rooted rom and not used a RUU you wouldn't have wiped your internal storage. Its important to read and understand what you are flashing before you do flash it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jobzombi:
Need some help here please!!!

I downloaded the exe, I ran the installer, after the approval screen for the install, term and agreements I think, it just closes. My phone is currently bricked and I'm hoping this helps, since I bricked it doing the Google Play RUU.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
Do you have a HK or non HK and are s-on or s-off?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jobzombi:
Non-HK and s-off. Installer does not even finish. The InstallShield Wizard loads, I select the radio button to accept the terms of the license agreement, but as soon as I press Next, the entire installer disappears. It is not running in the background and I can't find it in the processes, it just vanishes. I will try downloading it again, but I've been having this issue for a bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just got the phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
Do you have Microsoft Visual C+ 2008 installed ? Aslo have you tried the hboot method?

What makes you think the GPE RUU bricked you, what happened?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jobzombi:
I followed the steps to the "t" and after the fastboot reboot it went to hboot, and that was it. When I'd reboot it, I'd get the GOOGLE splash screen with a small lock at the bottom and then it would vibrate and go to hboot. At that point I pretty much read a few threads and did some stuff; clear cache, installed GPE Rom, etc.. I had made an EFS Pro backup, but the app does not recognize the device unless it is fully on; ie not hboot, fastboot, recovery, etc.. I tried transferring the tar.gz to the sdcard, directories are all different, and restoring from TWRP or the enhanced CW Recovery, is it philz?. It keeps telling me it can't mount /data. When I flashed the GPE RUU I did notice that some images had issues and were bypassed, while the majority were successful. I was in SuperCID and the device id was 0P6B70000. The thread said modelid: 0P6B***** So I changed opened the txt file from the archive using notepad++ changed the id and updated the archive.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
To begin with the GPE RUU wont work on a sprint version as its CDMA and GPE is GSM Are you using the sprint RUU from fastboot mode?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jobzombi:
Yes sir, Sprint. Now I had tried MSL finder, for other reasons, which is supposed to work with CDMA phones. When I ran that it said it could not find anything and that the phone may be GSM. That's why I was confused whether it was GSM or CDMA, or both just needed to configure the radios. At this point, I'm starting to think I just know nothing.

I'm running the FUU right now. I'll see how that goes. Turns out I had the x64 distro of VB C++, needed to install x86. If that's a bust I'' retry the RUU. At this point the FUU finished and the phone is at the Google splash screen, not sure how long it needs to stay there, but I know when I would clear dalvik, it can hang there for some time. I'll give it some time.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
If i were you i would use a sprint RUU and if you want a GPE rom Captain has a very nice good running rom

Look here....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762336
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jobzombi:
FUU didn't work, RUU did. Thanks for the tool. Well my intentions with the phone was using it on the Ting service, but the IMEI is unusable by the carrier for a year to use with another carrier. IMEI is good though. So since I have until April, I figured I'd try bringing it to my Grandfathered Verizon account. Swap out the Imei, meid, esn, etc. out of my current phone and then toss the old one out. Thought it would be easier to do so with the GPE version since, maybe I understood it wrong, it was unlocked in every aspect to begin with.

my HK has issues with wifi, cant enable it, phone was soft bricked, when i got it, using twrp i flashed the deodexed latest stock rom from OP, all works very well, except for wifi, the adviced that i got was to relock bootloader and use RUU, but if i relock bootloader, phone gets stock on bootloader in fastmode, wont pass from there, RUU wont run like that, right, also, reading different threads, i saw something about flashing firmware in incremental order, not just flash the latest, was a pain to get this phone to just hardbrick it, so please can someone give some nice directions, on how to get my HK back in to a fully working conditions, should i just relock bootloader, and flash latest full firmware, paying 25bucks to get s-off is out of the question for now, again sorry the noob questions.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
1st confirm if you relocked bootloader...you didn't say u relocked but if it says relocked in bootloader then it's locked

then, you have 2 choices...

either run the RUU to flash stock ROM or if locked, unlock via htcdev.com then flash TWRP, then go into TWRP & flash a custom ROM like BadBoyz ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Unlock your bootloader again. Unless you did a system wipe in recovery your ROM should still be on the phone. If not, either restore a backup or flash another ROM via recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] roger11528:
I did a system wipe in recovery unfortunately. and how do i do all that? Sorry im a noob
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Do you have an external SD card? If so remove it from the phone and download a ROM of your choice and put it on the card. Put the card back in your phone, then install the ROM via recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] roger11528:
How do i do either? Sorry I'm a noob to this. I usually deal with iPhones. Is there a video on how to do either. Or would you be able to explain how to do it?

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Go back through the steps you initially went through to unlock your bootloader to begin with, then install a ROM on your external SD card. Boot into recovery and flash the ROM zip, then reboot your device.

Okay so i managed to get my phone from relocked to unlock. Now it says

*** TAMPERED ***

***UNLOCKED ***

Whats next? How do i install a rom onto an external sd. Or what do you recommend i do?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
You can boot into recovery, connect your phone and PC, mount your SD card to your PC and transfer a ROM to your phone from your computer. Once finished you can unmount, then flash the ROM in recovery.

If you're using TWRP and you choose the mount option, Micro-SD card should already be selected. If not, make sure it's checked.

Which rom do you recommend i use?

Once you've updated, boot into TWRP and choose the wipe option, then choose the Advanced Wipe option. Check only cache, Dalvik cache, system & data, then wipe. Once

the wipe is complete, reflash the ROM.

Sorry. But how do i flash the rom? And how do i add the twrp?

Thank you for helping me
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
You flashed the ROM correctly, it appears. You simply choose the install option in recovery, find the ROM zip, select it and then install. To install TWRP you'll need to download the recovery file to your computer and put it in your ADB/Fastboot tools folder. Connect your phone to your computer while in the bootloader with the Fastboot option selected (if you need more info on this part hit the second link in my sig and read the section directly below the picture of the bootloader screen). Open a command terminal and type fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img and hit enter (use the actual name of the recovery as it's shown). Your new recovery should then be installed unless you get an error in the command terminal. Afterwards, boot into recovery, perform the wipe as mentioned previously, then flash the ROM.

You may find this tool useful for flashing the recovery to your device.
