[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
I have already explained this, I don't know how to be any clearer...I said to rename the FIRMWARE to 0P6BIMG.zip NOT the ROM...all this info is in the OP if you would just READ...

you need to flash the firmware 1st by renaming to 0P6BIMG.zip, just like the OP states...

use this firmware... 6.20.651.3 Modified Firmware...removed recovery (fastboot flashable): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059187

Flash Firmware via Hboot (requires micro sd card)....

-rename firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip

-copy 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...

OR....flash via fastboot using PC...to install fastboot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Flash Firmware via fastboot, no ext sd card needed....

-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, repeat this 2x

-when it's done, type fastboot reboot

after updating firmware, copy ROM to sd card & flash from TWRP

alternately after flashing firmware you can do what Sloth said & flash the RUU

If that second image is of the "recovery" I assumed correctly and you didn't flash TWRP recovery. Stock recovery will not work for flashing custom roms....

I flashed through fastboot but don't know is it done or not. Can you pls give instruction ?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Try to boot into recovery... if it boots to Team Win Recovery it succeeded, and proceed there to flash the ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
You can flash a Pre rooted ROM such as OMJs Bad Boyz Rom, or the stock rooted ROM. The RUU contains 100% stock firmware+ROM.

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: Thanks anyway if i've to root means i just need to flash TWRP or anything else i should do??
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
If you want root technically all you need is to flash SuperSU in TWRP, but it is my recommendation to flash a pre rooted ROM, Bad Boyz is a great ROM for the M8.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dwijender:
Now i can directly flash recovery TWRP kno?? After that i should flash superuser ??
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
You can fastboot flash TWRP recovery yes. And Again as I suggested you should try a prerooted option as you are obviously inexperienced. If you decide to just flash SuperSU it needs to be done within TWRP

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] m6284505:
Maybe I'm a little slow but here is what I did and what happened.

My M8 is s-off, unlocked using Viper 6.1.0. I just upgraded to Viper and Snapchat won't log me in. I tried every possible fix I found (hide my root, xposed w/rootcloak, rootcloak on it's own, used the xposed uninstaller, renamed the liboemcrypto file) but nothing gets me logged in. I used the RUU in the first post and installed Snapchat and it logged me in. I installed Titanium Backup so I could back up the app data for restore in Viper but Titanium says my phone isn't rooted and it won't work.

What exactly do I have to do here? I thought the ROM was rooted in the RUU. I went into TWRP 2.8.7.0 and installed SU from there but that made my phone not boot anymore. Do I need to install a certain SU or do something else? I restored my Viper backup so I am up and running now but I'll do the RUU again to backup SC data if I can get it rooted.

TIA for any assistance.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
RUUs are 100% stock factory restore... Have you tried Magisk instead of supersu? It works much better for hiding root
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] m6284505:
Guess I am confused. The thread title says Stock Rooted Roms so I just assumed the RUU was rooted, my bad. Is there a way to root it so Titanium will work for backing up the data?

In Viper I did try Magisk but it errors out when trying to install v12.0.zip and wont work.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
The title also says RUU & firmware.... 3 different things.... RUUs are never rooted. Supersu should work but I have no idea which version, you'll just have to research... I haven't had the M8 in several years

yes, when u flash firmware w/ stock recovery, it overwrites twrp.

if /system has been modified at all, rom wont boot w/ stock boot.img, must flash supersu

force reboot into download mode or bootloader, then run the RUU

flash twrp & then boot into twrp & flash supersu

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
1st...since you're using a gsm sim card, there is the possibility flashing a RUU could lock the sim....but there are known ways to unlock the sim easily... https://xdaforums.com/sprint-one-m9/general/nv-unlock-sim-t3314755

being on such an old version, if you were stock, I'd say just install each ota until you're caught up, but if you're rooted & have twrp installed, that would take some work to restore to stock.

flashing ruu may be your only option, but flashing any ruu will restore u to stock, so it might be easiest to flash the 4.20.651.10 ruu (either the exe or zip method), checking sim lock (and unlocking sim if needed) then installing the official otas until you're caught up. once caught up, flash twrp then root
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jaddadial:
Im at stock as visible on the ss, but as I check for update it gets stuck at checking load. If there's no breakthrough here then might I go for ruu? Should opt for gradual rather than jumping to the latest ver.

Will sim be locked for sure post ruu? So I can do prep work for sim unlocking beforehand.

Thanks for taking time to address this.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
u may be stock but if you're rooted you wont be able to install official ota....and even if 100% stock I'm not 100% sure the ota would trigger if out of US, especially on cellular data, you could try via wifi...RUU may be your only option to update

if using RUU, I'd flash 4.20.651.10 1st, then the 6.20.651.3 RUU..I don't know for sure if sim will lock after RUU...Sprint users really have no need unless switching to another carrier, so for me, I never cared if sim was locked or not & never checked. But from reading others experience after RUU I seem to recall it does lock. I would just be prepared to unlock it.

Stucked on Black Screen Of Death

Don't know you are going to respond or not, anyhow here is my problem.

I have tried to flash my firmware via FUU. It was completed successfully on laptop.. but my phone ended up on black screen.

Any solution for that ? I'm pretty good at web development but a newbie in updating roms and firmwares on phones.

Kindly help me if you can.

Btw I'm going to try an update from 3.30.651.2(Sprint HTC M8) to the latest update of marshmallow. Is it possible to do this or should i go for lollipop first ?

Regards.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
If your device is still S-On, then you must take every update in order. If you don't know what S-On is, then most likely, you are S-On. If your device is on KitKat, you have to flash all of the RUUs. Or, a simpler solution, flash the RUU that matches your current firmware, then take all of the OTAs.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] malyk00:
Thanks for the reply. Its highly appreciated. Here is the current scenario.

Hello,

Next time please don't quote the entire 1st post. lol
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
Here's my question...is Sprint your carrier? If so...why are you using a GSM sim card? If you're not...why are you using a Sprint ROM?

I don't remember too much about the M8 setup process, but I do believe that Hands-Free activation is native to Sprint ROMs.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
just curious, how did u update to 6.20.651.3? that's a pretty big jump from 3.30.651.2

to bypass HFA, boot into twrp, use the file manager to delete /system/priv-app/HtcOMADM_SPCS/

if u flashed the 6.20.651.3 RUU, most likely your SIM was locked, and you'll need to unlock
