Hi OMJ, thank you a ton for posting Sprint_HTC_One_M8_4.25.651.18_stock_rooted.zip

I will try this ROM. I used your RUU.exe method for the previous Sprint HTC One M8 OS version 4.25.651.14. This is the first time I will try taking the update as a Zip file. Do I take this update via the ADB shell command on my PC or can I install it directly through HBOOT using the 0P method? I had already updated the firmware via 0P method but my OS is still the old version. I'm unlocked and S-OFF, super CID 11111111

Thank you very much OMJ for any guidance and steps to apply this update you built.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
Oops, I forgot to add busybox, I'll fix in the am
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
You flash in recovery, TWRP... But wait for my fixed version
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] DaveO88888:
Taking OTA.zip via ADB shell command?

Thanks again OMJ. I'll hold off until you release your fixed version HTC One M8 Sprint 4.25.651.18. BTW, is there a way to take OTA.zip via ADB shell without relocking bootloader? I am S-OFF, super CID, so seems like I could take any update but still having problems updating software, firmware was updated no problem.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] DaveO88888:
Hello OMJ I tried to manually take the OTA.zip via Stock Recovery but I guess my system files have been either deleted or modified after rooting/applying SD Fix App? Maybe my MD5 checksum no longer matches the OTA.zip META-INF so the install is aborted? If I try to update via ADB shell or Android Terminal Emulator will OTA.zip take?

Here is the message I got trying to take the update in stock recovery saved to internal_sd :

-- Install /data/media/0/update.zip

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] deakelem:
simply oversight, thanks for the kind reminder.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
Only way to install ota is via recovery that I know of. Looks like that file, “/system/bin/linker”, has been modified, preventing ota. You could copy original file and try again.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
since I don't have the device to test with, [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] is building stock rooted ROMs :) he will post them soon
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Here's the stock rooted for the standard M8:

https://basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M8)/Sprint_only/ROMs/4.25.651.18

I can only confirm that it boots. Hopefully someone else can confirm that it's fully working. I added f2fs support into it (also untested), but that requires a compatible kernel, and as far as I know only my BeyondStock v4.0.0 supports it on Sense). Maybe someone will be brave enough to try it out?

HK stock rooted is uploading now.

EDIT: HK stock rooted is here: https://basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (M8)/Sprint_only/ROMs/4.25.654.18
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ckvisme:
I'm downloading your non hk stock Rom now... I'll let u know if there are issues.

Also wanted to thank you and OMJ for the work you guys have put in!!

I did a full RUU yesterday (thank u OMJ) . I used the bootloader flashable 4.24.651.14

And I made a bootloader flashable MultiRom TWRP zip (thank u CPTB... Learned that one from u) and used it to re-root after all was done. BRILLIANT.. You can do a full RUU and re-root and not even know how to spell ADB... Just brilliant... and ridiculously easy.

Question about the HBOOT flashable modified x.13 firmware zip...

I actually just got the H/K version of the M8 yesterday, just finished attaining S-off, unlocked bootloader, Cap's twrp, and root... now I want to flash the M8 H/K stock rooted x.13 rom and then the firmaware...

I notice the android-info.txt in the firmware zip is set to 001 ... since I actually have the H/K phone don't I need to set it back to 004 before I HBOOT flash the firmware??

Thanks!

Edit: OMJ actually got back to me as I was typing this post LOL ... for others who actually have the H/K phone my answer was yes and OMJ said he's gonna get around to posting flashables for us with the actual H/K hardware ... or you could just edit the android-info.txt like I'm about to do! :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] TrentB:
Hey all, I have 1.54.654.8 (stock, rooted with some xposed mods) on my non H/K sprint one at the moment.

I was told updating to 1.54.654.9 would possibly fix some headphone jack issues I have been having.

Is it possible to upgrade the firmware and ROM without wiping any of my data or losing root? I'm very new to HTC devices and I am kind of lost with what to do.

Should I be upgrading to 9 or 13? Or is 13 H/K only?

Edit (I see H/K stuff in my settings) I think I may have flashed an H/K ruu when I had no data on my phone so I am not sure if it wipes throughout the process.

Any help or insight for an HTC newbie would be appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ayusharad:
1- I'm having H/K One, just curious to know can I use this RUU directly?

2- [MENTION=1327219]OMJ[/MENTION] will you post the stock H/K RUU anytime in near future as this one is of test build? Thank you..!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] benny3:
This is the H/K RUU

If you use the RUU you will lose everything, Use the firmware zip and you wont lose anything
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] byte33:
question.... I have the .9 RUU from here on my phone ATM, can I go back to the .8 stock rooted RUU if I can find one that is .. lol

or would I run into problems. I'm wanting to try the GPE port and do not know if I can run that rom with this RUU..

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
No RUU for 1.54.651.8
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PolarWind:
I have a few questions about the firmware.

I was thinking about trying BSC Tranquil rom and from what I understand in order for everything to work properly you need to have the H/K firmware.

1.) Would I need to set the CID to 1's in order to flash just the firmware?

1b.) Which firmware should I flash? Complete or without boot, hboot, recovery? (I'm rooted with s-off, Captain's TWRP 2.7.1.0)

2.) Once H/K firmware is flashed, is there any going back? Would this affect other non-H/K roms?

Thank you for your time.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] scott_0:
am I correct in assuming being s-off is needed for this?

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
in the OP there is a modified version for non-HK, so no, u dont need superCID....I would flash the modified firmware, flash .9 then .13. I believe Cpt has posted the stock non HK firmware somewhere if you wanted to go back....

for the most part, yes.....if u have the HK version, you wont need s-off for the RUU
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
hi I am not on the HK M8 but I did flash the modified firmware for the non HK device .9 then .13 as recommeneded cause I am on BSC Rom. is it safe for me to flash the these new firmware files over the Modified HK firmware I am currently using? Or should I flash back to the original firmware and then flash the ota firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
yes u can flash, the modified firmware only updates the radio...I have the non-HK version w/ .9 & .13, I flashed w/ no issues
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] scott_0:
I do not have an HK device, so will I not be able to flash this rom? I really want to give this a try but I see you recommend the HK firmware and I cannot obtain s-off with my device
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tandxcstar1:
Can anyone tell me if I have the correct baseband for the HK version after the firmware flash via hboot. Either I somehow already update my baseband or it was already on current but I'm on 1.05.20.0321_2. When I flashed the HK version it didn't change baseband and wanted to make sure (yes I have the HK device). Thanks in advance

For some reason my device is not reading OP6BIMG.zip, I'm putting it on the root of the sd card and renaming it. Checked MD5 and tried two different downloads. Trying to flash .9 then .13 modified firmware on non h/k device. I've upgraded firmware before with zero issues. Any suggestions? TIA

Funny thing is I tried to update my firmware and failed before I flashed the rom.. Then flashed rom, flashed firmwared again and rom wouldn't boot. Tried to do wipe and it wouldnt wipe in recovery either with "unable to mount cache".. Now restoring my back up...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jwigley24:
U should just flash the 0P6BIMG.zip file in the bootloader, this will take care of everything (assuming u have s-off). Then just re-root by fastboot flashing a recovery like twrp and then flash superSU in recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] opz187:
figured it o out last night had to flash firmware w boot to get it to work.works great now. so f flash the one that says recovery removed.that's it.also, when flashing any of that firmware it erased my entire sd card.that sucked. used fastboot, & flashed twice.never had that happen before

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] evoholik:
Hello just wondering. If I am on GPE 5.1 from captain throwback. Should I update my firmware to the latest one that OMJ posted?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
There seems to be some conflict between the HTC Setup Wizard and Google Play Services. If you don't add your Google account during setup it seems to work fine. But there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the ROM install zip itself, so there's nothing I can do about it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] evoholik:
Yeah this sucks. Did the firmware upgrade and erased my sd card. I had so much important stuff. Never did that to me before
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You guys keep saying SD card, but I think you're referring to the internal, emulated storage, not the actual (external) SD card, correct?

I'd avoid the HK firmwares until [MENTION=506238]OMJ[/MENTION] has a chance to fix the zips (which I'm sure will be very soon).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] evoholik:
Yes captain it is the internal storage. But what is done is done. So is there something wrong with the firmware upgrade. Do I have to update again when OMJ fixes it or its all good to go. Only erased internal but still updated?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
No need to update again. The firmware contained in the original zip is fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
HK firmware has been updated, my apologies to those who lost data...I pulled the firmware from the RUU since it's more complete than the OTA but I forgot to omit the dzdata imgs...fixed now.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] opz187:
at least everything is kosher now. captain is running fine, only thing is "Sprint I'd" is constantly fc. just turned off notifications from it. you were right about set up wizard if you just whip through it without signing in Google account, sign in after, everything is gravy. is the busybox used in the build necessary for stock? if I try updating to different version wifi stops working, not able to flash other kernels including yours for same reason. or does it all maybe have to do with the firmware I flashed, which contained boot? I'd like to throw xposed on here but afraid bc of the changes to busybox and whatnot

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] gypsy214:
Thanks man. So I need to not set up google account on set up... Yeah zip, rom flashes fine I did not see nothing wrong with it other than the set up wizard..

Firmware also wiped my internal storage but I learned the hard way to save important stuff on external..

I'm not sure if this is normal but I just ran the latest non-HK RUU and it wiped my internal storage (emulated SD card). I remember a few pages back there was talk about the HK RUU doing similar so I thought I'd mention it.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rodohmes:
I'm attempting to RUU my Sprint M8 non-HK for a clean start and have run into a problem. My phone is s-off and I was running a 5.1 GPE ROM while on Sense firmware (I never converted to GPE firmware). I downloaded the latest RUU.exe and ran it on my PC, but it got stuck at 14% for over an hour.

I then downloaded and attempted to use the RUU zip from my SD card and everything runs OK until it gets to [14] RADIO_V2 - FAIL-UZ, then says "Image unzipping fail! Update Fail! Device halted due to large image update fail!"

Because I'm s-off it shouldn't matter if the RUU I ran is newer (more updated) than what was on my phone, right? Currently my phone has the stock recovery (a result of the partially completed RUU.exe I guess) and won't fully boot into the OS - just hangs on the previous ROM's boot animation indefinitely. I've searched and Googled this error but couldn't find a firm solution. Thanks for any help.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
With the last few updates your firmware(mainly the hboot if I remember correctly) has to match the RUU that you are trying to run.

So if you flash the full firmware that matches the RUU you want to use then try the RUU again you should be good to go.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rodohmes:
Thanks for the help. I was able to successfully use the older 4.20.651.10 RUU zip from the sd card, then successfully flashed the newest full firmware zip, but when I then tried the newest RUU zip it gave me the same failure warning as before. I am currently trying the newest RUU.exe on my PC to see what happens.

This error that I'm getting is a problem, right? I can't just disregard it and the phone work as it should?

EDIT: The newest RUU.exe ran successfully from my PC now.
