[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dopy25:
You should be able to flash the Firmware for MM and then the RUU. It looks like you are S-off so I don't think you need to relock the bootloader or anything before flashing the FW and RUU but I do believe you will have to unlock the bootloader after flashing/updating.

MM is picky so you MUST flash the firmware for it before flashing the RUU. I think you can get away with also flashing the FW, updating TWRP and flashing a stock ROM. It's up to you how you go about it. FW is required though to flash the RUU.

Is there a Stock Deodexed MM Rom?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vancer:
Hey bilalwarraich,

I have been out of the game for a while and am in the same boat you were in... My M8 is currently running BB Rom v2.1 (4.4.4/3.30.654.2) with a baseband of 1.08.20.0916. I was wondering if you successfully flashed the firmware making the jump from firmware 3.30.654.2 (with baseband 1.08.20.0916) to firmware 6.20.654.3 (with whatever baseband is in that firmware) without any problems?

If anybody else knows for sure that this can be successfully done please let me know.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
hey bud, long time no see....honestly your best option is to backup everything, flash the 6.20 firmware then the 6.20 RUU. You'll then have to flash twrp again...this will take some time but give u a nice clean start on M
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PolarWind:
Hey OMJ!

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Vancer and bilalwarraich. Coming from older Firmware and Tranquil M8 Rom trying to get updated. (google service updates basically wont let my phone deep sleep and runs it awake screen off at max processing power and drains the battery fast, not to mention it gets quite hot!) I've tried several reflashes of Tranquil but as soon as things start updating the deep sleep goes away.

So I updated to latest TWRP, and I risked it just flashing the latest firmware from whatever I had (approx 1yr to 1.5yrs old firmware?) And it was successful, now I'm going to install Bad Boyz rom. Is running the RUU first necessary as you've suggested in the previous post? I appreciate your input!

Initially had a rooted and SIM unlocked 3.30.654.2/radio 1.09. Upgraded to 6.20.651.3 Full Firmware & 0P6BIMG_Sprint_HTC_One_M8_6.20.651.3_RUU.zip.

3G connection (Europe) does not work anymore, GSM only. GSM call works fine, but data connection is GRRS only. No Edge no 3G.

Did it locked back to Sprint SIM again? Shall I unlock 6.20.651.3 somehow to get 3G working?

Or shall I downgrade to 3.30.654.2 and root it again to get 3G? Is a downgrade possible at all?

Help please..
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sonnu0100:
If Gsm works fine then it is not locked again . The 3g frequency which your phone supports can be disbaled . Friend of mine got the same issue .

Download dfs

Connect phone in DIAG mode . ##3424#

Enabled all the 3g frequencies.

Downgrade is possible but u have to be s-off for that .

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] marum:
Thanks! But no luck still...

1. I did rooted it and downgraded ROM to Sprint_HTC_One_M8_4.20.651.10_stock_rooted.zip. But did not downgraded firmware.

2. I've got DFS program working. Got a list of enabled bands. Apparently I read ALL WCDMA bands being enabled there originally. So I don't think disabling some bands will help. So I left it as is. Tried to add European LTE bands and enabling LTE, but no luck here as well. The only GSM is working fine.

Shall I downgrade firmware as well to completely get back to 4.20 ? It's not clear to me which part here is responsible for radio stuff ROM or Firmware ?

Ok one more question ? ... I updated the firmware no problems but when I try to run the .exe RUU on my Win10 machine it won't run properly. When you say I should RUU, is it any different and/or just as good to run the 0P6BIMG.zip RUU from hboot instead of the .exe RUU ? Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
using the 0P6BIMG.zip method is the same as RUU exe, plus its easier...

ABD commands

Hello noob here. I am s-on, rooted, currently running 4.4.4. I know to flash firmware I have to relock bootloader using the following abd command:

fastboot oem lock

So my question is once I have flashed firmware, what is the command to re-unlock bootloader so that I can install custom rom? do i just use the following abd command:

fastboot oem unlock

thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sonnu0100:
No.

As u uave s-on device .U have u follow the HTC dev site for unlocking bootloader.

Hit Thanks , if Somebody helps you..?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] anamous90:
from reading first page. since i am s-on is it necessary to relock bootloader if I flash unsigned unmodified firmware?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sonnu0100:
It is compulsory to relock the bootlader for s-on devices.

U can not flash the unsigned modified firmware . They are only for s-off devices..

Hit Thanks , if Somebody helps you..?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] anamous90:
so which firmware am I able to flash since I am s-on? or is it just better to gain s-off to upgrade firmware then install os?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
S-off is always best, well worth it.

S-ON can only flash signed unmodified firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] anamous90:
Thank you for the clarification and prompt response.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sonnu0100:
Download signed firmware for s-on devices form the first post. S-off is better , but before getting s-off , read some fourms to have idea about firmware flashing, partations etc . If you are a normal guy and s-on will still do .

Download the signed firmware

Palce it in sd card and flash via bootloader .

Lollipop firmware has better battery life than marshmallow . So think before upgrading as there will be no roll back .

Hit Thanks , if Somebody helps you..?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] anamous90:
do i have to relock bootloader to flash signed firmware? from reading first page is says yes, but then say... to install a custom rom such as ViperOne, is it necessary to re unlock bootloader to flash the rom?

Thanks for the advice. do you think its better to keep running kitkat 4.4.4? or upgrade to lollipop instead of marshmallow ?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] sonnu0100:
Kitkat has the best battery backup(firmware +andriod).

As i have stated earlier .

In my opinioun Lollipop is better than marshmallow (discussing about firmware here ).

If u want to upgrade to lollipop firmware and want a custom rom .. here is the process .

Relock your bootlader

Go to fastboot

Fastboot oem lock

Download lollipop firmware (signed +unmodified version)

Place it in sd card . Rename it to 0P6BIMG .( u can found this info in the first post )

Flash via bootloader .

Unlock your bootlader via htc dev . ( this will wipe your device ) all internal data will be deleted .

Flash custom recovery .

Flash your custom rom via recovery .

All latest rom like viper etc atleast lollipop firmware ( eventhough marshmallow is recommended).

Jus keep in mind , in s-on u can upgrade only . Not downgrading possible .

Decryption

Hello,

I did a successful install of ViperOneM8, however I am unable to decrypt my phone as it does not recognize my password. What can I do? TWRP did recognize the decrypt password before rom install, but does not now either. Any ideas? How can I remove decryption password? I think I have to wipe phone completely using Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Anyone know the command for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ive tried the Viperrom, insertcoin rom, Bad boyz rom, stock rooted sprint rom, and a few GPE roms. I cant tell what went wrong, i also get this nagging hands free activation across all roms.

I've settled on captain throwbacks 5.1 GPE stock rooted rom. it's ok for now. lte works

I encountered the very same issues back in February. Did everything I knew to do, to avail. Bit the bullet and called sprint support. They could not figure it out, told me to take my device into the store. So I reluctantly did just that.

Tech could not identify the problem. Told them to front device was s off, rooted and unlocked. Ordered me a brand new device, even offered me the A-9 or m-9 at no charge.

your firmware is quite old (2.16.654.4)....you cannot flash the 6.20.65x.3 RUU until you have flashed the 6.20.65x.3 firmware 1st...seeing how old it is, you may need to step through some of the older firmwares 1st...ie..3.30.654.2, then 4.20.654.10, then 6.20.654.3, then flash 6.20.654.3 RUU
