[MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION], sorry if I'm being persistent but I could use an answer from my last post. I've never ruu'ed before so I'm not entirely sure what the requirements and process is. op instructions are vague and google has so many references I'm not sure what would be right. I'm sorry to be a bother or be inpatient, I just am not sure how to proceed and no one else seems to want to chime in to lend a hand. I'm getting force close from he** after rebooting my device from 2nd boot after flash while using any sense 7 ROM and facebook will not show in blink feed on sense 6. I'm thinking I need to ruu but I'm not sure where to proceed. I have a log from another sense 7 ROM I could upload if you wanted to take a look but mainly I could use help with getting the ruu flashed. Thanks for your time omj, I know you are busy and have a life too.

Can you please tell me how to downgrade to stock 4.4.2 ??
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] pmacevad:
[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION], maybe you could lend a hand if you have time to answer this question I had.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
you're over thinking this...the only requirement is to lock bootloader ONLY if you're s-on.

Rename to 0P6BIMG, boot into bootloader, flash from sd card

these instructions can't be much clearer w/o spoonfeeding, but I'll try...

1. download the zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934529264

2. rename the zip to 0P6BIMG.zip

3. copy 0P6BIMG.zip to ext sd card

4. boot into bootloader

5. bootloader will automatically scan, see the 0P6BIMG.zip & prompt u to install

wasn't that easy? :D All ya had to do is try it...

flash 4.4.2 RUU, must be s-off...http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567713017
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] pmacevad:
Thanks for the reply. Maybe I was over thinking but I wanted to be sure before I did something I didn't understand and messed up my device. I've never done a ruu and I've read many posts of users getting stuck and whatnot and I didn't want to be one of those people. I usually don't ask for help unless I'm unsure so thanks for the clarification.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] JT man:
[MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION] Is there any way to downgrade just the radio to the first radio that came on the M8, I'm trying to sim unlocked for domestic use (like the M7) for tmobile thanks?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
if you're S-OFF, sure, but even after unlocking SIM, it cannot be used for tmobile...International only
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] JT man:
So I'm guessing The M8 radio is a different setup than M7 cause I was able to accomplish this thanks buddy...

Disregard this post, I figured it out.

I'm trying to s-off my replacement device and shinshine is saying I need a secure boot image to do it. I'm currently running the stock rooted L rom. Anybody have an idea where I can find one? I do have the ruu, but I'm not quite sure out to pull it out of the program file. Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
24 android-info fail (means something wrong with android-info.txt in the zip)

has anything changed? are you still supercid?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] fz7qd:
Yes i am superCID and bootloader locked.S off too .

.Same error came when i tied to flash your 4.20.651.10.And i am not able to open them with 7z also .They show error "Archive cannot be opened".

Can you download and recheck the zip? Or provide me an .exe file for 4.4.2 ?

the file 0P6BIMG_Sprint_HTC_One_M8_Harman_4.20.654.10_RUU.zip you uploaded is it editable ?

means can we change the boot img or hboot img splash img recovery img etc
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
it's not the zip, it's you're messed up phone.....you cannot open w/ 7zip, because it's encrypted....there are several RUU's in the OP, take your pick...check "Previous RUUs"

no, it is encrypted RUU from HTC....
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] fz7qd:
Alright bro i got you ! The RUU cannot be opened by 7z or something as they're encrypted alright bro.But then what extension must be they kept with ? .zip , .img or something else ? I tried 0P6BIMG.zip and it is giving the error i told you about.

If you solve this i will be really thankful bro ! .It has been 20 days i am trying to make this phone work and get it sim unlocked !
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
actually you should be able to open Sprint_HTC_One_M8_1.54.651.8_RUU.zip but not the rom.zip inside

how were u trying to flash?

you can extract rom.zip, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip, copy to ext sd card & let bootloader flash it

or copy rom.zip to your sdk tools folder, then in fastboot...type these cmds:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

flastboot flash zip rom.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] fz7qd:
Followed the commands still errors ->

My device:

Sprint HTC One M8 non hk

Unlocked, running 4.4.4 Viper ROM

S-ON

OK, I wanted to figure it out but I cant. I have been working on it for hours now, searching, reading, I need help please.

I want to use the RUU exe to take my sons M8 back to stock and upgrade to L. I downloaded this, Sprint_HTC_One_M8_non-HK_4.20.651.10_RUU.

I tried to run it but got a 30% low battery warning even though it was above 50%. It finally made it past that warning but then gave me an error that the USB wasnt connected, even though it was.

I searched this thread for the battery warning and someone said "just run ruu from hboot/fastboot".

I want to try that but id like to know if I need to re-lock the bootloader before I run the ruu?

If so, how in the world do I re-lock?

(feel like an idiot, sorry)

Windroid toolkit doesnt seem to re-lock, I cant figure out how to get htcdev to re-lock...

Hopefully its an easy solution.

TY for your time.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] fz7qd:
Can you provide .exe file for 1.54.651.8 because many users are are getting signature errors while flashing 1.54.651.8.zip .

Thanks for your your time.

EDIT : Sorry for bothering you so much [MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION] You've been a tremendous help.God bless you ! I finally got what i was doing wrong.I will write steps as per a noob's perspective so no user would get problems like i got.

STEPS TO FLASH RUU.ZIP ->

1- Extract the zip until you get a "single zip file" which gives you error "Archive cannot be opened".Don't worry! it is not meant to be opened as it is encrypted. ( For example: In case of 1.54.651.8.zip RUU , you'll get a "rom.zip" file after extracting ).

2- Rename that file into "0P6BIMG.zip" (While that file is in your computer).

3- Now you have to copy that file into your phone's external sd card but it won't copy ! .Here is the trick -

"You cannot copy an encrypted file by connecting your mobile through data cable ! "

To copy that file you need to connect your external SD card via a card reader.When you connect it via a card reader you'll be able to copy the "0P6BIMG.zip" file .Cheers!

4- Now the simplest step.Insert the external SD card you copied the "0P6BIMG.zip" file to, into your phone.Power off the device and wait for few seconds until it shuts down completely.Now, hold "power key+volume down key" to boot into hboot.

The file will be detected automatically and the process will start.Just follow the onscreen instructions!

Done !

I am no developer and all thanks is to [MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION] . I wrote this not to get any thanks for the hard work of [MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION]. This is merely a guide from a person who was struggling to downgrade from 20 days.Thanks !

P.S- My HTC M8 SPRINT is S-off. (Bootloader can be unlocked/locked, it doesn't matter if your phone is S-off. )
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] neno2323:
In adb type fastboot oem lock. when you run RUU it will erase your phones memory not onsdcard.

Now only problem is i am unable to enter TWRP . I flashed TWR 2.8.0.1. And it is stuck at "Entering recovery..." screen .

Is there a recent Stock Recovery available anywhere that I can flash? Or, is that the Full Firmware Zip?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
stock recovery is inside the full firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
OMJ

What would happen if I flashed the full firmware zip from an AOSP ROM, then did a factory reset while still on an AOSP ROM?

Or, do I have to be in stock to use it?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
it would overwrite recovery & boot....factory reset makes no difference on firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
This is what in trying to ask, or do...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=59621323

Would This Fix Issues?

He says I could just flash the stock recovery and completely restore factory defaults to fix any internal issues.

I just don't want to destroy my phone! LOL!

What is "boot" and would it remove S-off?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
I'm not sure if it will actually fix anything...when u do a factory reset, it's just restoring your flashed ROM

boot aka kernel...which u probably dont want to overwrite...and no it wouldn't cause u to lose s-off

I guess it's worth a try....just backup everthing
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Will32:
Ok, thanks. Couple more things.

1. Do i need to have phone in fastboot mode when i run that command?

2. Should i run the ruu.exe while in fastboot, hboot, or andoid system?

3. If the ruu.exe doesn't run for some reason, will the phone stiil boot/run with my current custom rom after i re-lock?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
Is he correct about the NV partition wiping?

Custom recoveries don't wipe that, but stock recovery does?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] StormMcCloud:
This is probably a stupid question but will this update my phone from 2.16.651.4 up to 4.20.65x.10?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dopy25:
1) yes.

2) I believe the ruu should recognize your device from any mode and boot to whatever it needs to in order to run the RUU.

3) If you relock the bootloader I believe the device would only run on an untouched stock setup. You can unlock and install custom recovery again and it should boot if the ruu does not start.

The RUU would update to whatever RUU you run, so yes. It is not required to do incremental updates. as each one includes necessary items from the last.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
I'm not sure

Couldn't get to custom Rom. Custom recovery replaced with stock recovery. And it said image file failed and now I have no clue what to do.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
just to confirm...you have the HK model?

only thing I would suggest is try flashing it again or choose the pc/exe method

if you're ultimately going to flash a custom ROM, you could just flash the firmware then TWRP, then ROM

WIFI Issues

I Normally Use ViperRom but I found out that my WIFI had issues I said I was connected but no data was going through so it was not even able to download apps from the Play store.

So I RUU to the latest from this thread and now I get Similar problems.

I can download from the play store but apps that require internet will not work unless I turn off WIFI.

Also some apps require WIFI In order to Download additional content but It can not download it.

I have tried to Fastboot the latest Firmware, Did an RUU.

I am S-Off Fully Unlocked. But WIFI only works for certain things on my phone so I use it with WIFI off now.

I have horrible signal at home and use WIFI calling normally when it works.

What am I missing?

Sometimes you need to do a factory wipe with the stock recovery to get the nv partition wiped. Custom Recovery's don't get that part and when flashing firmware like you have been, like us all updating and so on this can get corrupted. That was my issue.

Which firmware would you recommend me to install for Sprint_M8_Non_HK_Stock_Rooted_3.30.651.2_Deodexed. zip ?

And by the way it is giving parsing error by running it through fastboot or by HBoot after naming it to 0P6BIMG.zip

I ran it with recovery and it went fine ! Should it be this way ? It is showing OS- 2.00.000.0

When i flashes full firmware 3.30.651.2 then it now shows OS-2.00.000.0 (3.30.651.2) and now the phone restarts after "android" comes written

But check this out! They have the software on the Sprint site listed as 3.30.651.2 being the newest one for the HK. Funny thing is, that's old, no? And it is for the regular M8 on the HK page. Anyway, I thought it was funny. Take a look!

Never mind! Figured out what was needed... The key was installing Microsoft visual c++ 2008 redistributable, along with visual c++ 2008 redistributable sp1, which windows update found after I installed the original. Rebooted my computer and now when I run the ruu, everything runs properly.

Edit: just to add on to this for anybody who has had issues running the ruu, I had installed visual c++ 2013, 2012, and 2010 and the ruu still would do what I mentioned above. Once I installed the 2008 version as well (along with the sp1), all was good and ruu ran properly!
