Newest OTA

I have the newest OTA for you to add to your list. I'm just unable to post the link.

Here's the newest OTA

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] chezzworth:
I've gone through all the steps and restored the stock backup, but when I try to install the newest OTA update it still takes me directly back into TWRP. I would love nothing more than do just completely delete TWRP and be back on factory settings. I'm desperate here and would really appreciate some help.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

I'm in crisis mode now guys. My phone is constantly restarting every 15 seconds after turning on. I just tried restoring the stock backup again and it is still restarting. I'm begging for help now :confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Sounds like the stock recovery in fact was not installed. Go back to the first post in this thread, download the stock recovery that's posted there and follow the instructions on how to install it. Alternatively, you can always load up another ROM, then wipe and flash. Also, if your phone is constantly rebooting you may just need to RUU the device, which will put you back stock.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] chezzworth:
Thank you very much for the quick help. To stop the constant rebooting, I restored my initial backup from when I rooted the phone in the first place. So I'm effectively back to square one of being rooted.

The first time I tried the stock recovery installation, I downloaded the entire zip file (1.54.651.8-Stock) and when I extracted the files I was left with "boot.emmc.win" , "boot.emmc.win.md5" , "system.ext4.win000" , "system.ext4.win000.md5" , "system.ext4.win001" , and "system.ext4.win001.md5"

I then copied all these files and went into my phone's internal storage (TWRP>BACKUPS>SERIAL#) and then compiled the files into one folder which I named "stock recovery." I'm not sure if naming the folder caused problems?

Anyway, I was still able to go into recovery and select "stock recovery" to restore. It took a minute and went through the whole process and said successful and I thought everything was gravy but when I tried installing the update it took me back into TWRP.

If you noticed anything I did wrong please let me know! Again, I cannot thank you enough for your help.

Edit: I should mention I'm on the standard m8, not the HK
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
There was no need to open the file. Simply download the first file (the one named 0P6BIMG) to your external SD card. Don't place it in any folders. Reboot to the bootloader. You should be in Fastboot mode, at which time you can press the power button to swap to Hboot mode. The bootloader will scan for the recovery file on your external SD card and ask if you want to update. Just follow the directions on screen. Once complete you should have the stock recovery installed.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] chezzworth:
OK I've downloaded 0P6BIMG.zip and you're saying I don't need to extract the files, but rather just paste the whole zip into my SD card?

EDIT: I've done it! Thank you so much for the help Magnum Enforcer

Does anyone have the stock recovery for the HTC One M8 Sprint 1.54.651.10?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Use the stock recovery from the previous update that's posted in the OP.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
I have flashed the .8 stock recovery on my phone and everytime I attempt to run the OTA update it fails with a red triangle.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
The red triangle means the stock recovery is installed. What ROM is installed on your phone?

Sent from my HTC M8
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Sorry, my phone is rooted with s-off running the stock Sense 6 Android 4.4.2.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Did you press volume up + power to see where the OTA failed? If you removed any apps/files from /system it won't be able to apply.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Each time I did that the phone would just reboot. It would never show me what failed. I almost wonder if somehow my recovery got screwed up. I decided to go ahead and run the stock 1.54.651.10 RUU and restore the phone to "stock". I will certainly make a backup this time for future OTA's. Assuming this works I hope to get the OTA and update properly then reroot the phone. Least I took the time to do S Off.

I should add. I never went through with the deleting of preinstalled crap. I just disabled it. I would hope that wouldn't mess it up. I can't say I ever went through deleting anything from system. I thought about it, but figured the phone has 32GB of space on it and I certainly wasn't hurting for storage.

Edit: Of course, I hadn't realized who you were until I clicked on your baseband link under your HTC One M8 phone. I've seen your stuff before. If all else fails. Would I be able to do the latest OTA update using your files? Are they the stock Sense 6 software? That's the only reason why I want the OTA is to remain up to day with the stock stuff. If these OTA's keep failing I am more than willing to do it manually if I can get them from somewhere. I just don't want custom stuff.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I have a clean stock rooted you can flash here. You should even be able to take future OTAs with no issue (provided you install stock recovery first, of course).

EDIT: You will need to update your firmware before updating to the new base, though. There's a link to it in my ROM thread OP.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Ok, looks like my nuclear option of the RUU worked and I am now updated. Going to make a backup and reinstall the TWRP bootload and super user.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] epedrosa:
I'm on a Harman/Kardon edition, software version 1.54.654.13 with unlocked bootloader, rooted but s-on.

I want to be able to apply the new updates. I want to s-off the phone but I'm getting adb device offline. What are my options, s-off or going back to stock and take the OTA updates?

I ask because I'm very confused... I think I can restore the stock backup for my version, then try to install the stock recovery and take the OTAs... Is this correct or I have to do something else...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] STRETCH3535:
Hey all, just wanted to get back to stock but stay rooted and unlocked. I am s-on. I was also wanting to receive ota updates and not flash anymore custom ROMs as my time is now very limited with my crazy schedule. I currently have my stock rooted nand from when I first rooted my phone. My question is can I restore that backup then flash the stock recovery to stay semi stock but retain root and be unlocked etc..? Thanks for the help

Edit: i'm currently on GPE 4.4.4 sinless if that matters
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
If you can successful successfully restore that 100% stock backup you have, yes it'll work. Just restore, flash stock recovery, take all OTA's then flash a custom recovery again. Then you'll be able to flash su. If your backup doesn't work, feel free to use one of these.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] STRETCH3535:
Can I flash the stock recovery thru twrp after I restore my stock rooted backup I made with twrp? Thank you and cheers
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
Also, this is how I have my phone setup. 100% stock with su and busybox manually added after each ota. I use TiBu to freeze bloatware so I can still ota when necessary, and use xposed with a nice list of modules to get the full custom ROM feel.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
I suppose, but if you root, try using flashify. Find it on google play. You can swap recoveries on the go.

Sent From My HTC One (M8)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] STRETCH3535:
Cool so if I go back to my nandroid as stock rooted I can then reboot, download flashify and install stock recovery from there? Or do I need to DL the stock recovery then install from flashify?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
You'll need the recovery IMG on your card already.

Sent From My HTC One (M8)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] STRETCH3535:
So just rename it to 0P6BIMG.ZIP then flash using flashify? And I should be good to go...

Or .IMG sorry and thanks for the help. I'm used to Samsung all of my android career lol
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rydah:
If you want to flash stock recovery via hboot then use the 0P6BIMG.zip, I'd you'd rather use flashify like I said, pull the IMG from the zip and put that on your card, open flashify and click flash recovery and follow prompts.

Gotcha thanks for the help man
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] STRETCH3535:
Just curious if I wanted to go back rooted again can I just use the token I already got from when I first rooted this phone and go thru that process again?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Correct...but be aware it will wipe your phone again.

So backup to PC beforehand.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] darksurfr:
Just wondering. I flashed the stock rom, flashed the stock recovery, cleared the cache, booted into the system but when I go to look for the OTA it just continually searches and never finds anything. Reasons? Trying to get the most recent OTA so that I can run viper 2.0.1 for my trip abroad and have proper working wifi calling
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Success100:
for some reason my phone cannot locate the backup.

In revcovery, it recognizes that there is a backup there, but when I get ready to restore it says failed. Almost as if there is a file missing. In the 1.54.651.8 folder there should be 6 files correct?

Now whats weird if I create a backup file in TWRP i can restore from that one just fine. But this one in the same location, file path serial number everything the same, won't load. any ideas?

You can flash most ROM's with S-on. The notable exception would be some ROM's like Captain Throwback's GPE port. You'll need to flash the kernel separately from the ROM. Hit the second link in my sig for more info.

I've read through this thing and thanks for all you guys have done. Im stuck trying to update from software version 1.54.651.8 to something else (just trying to fix the no data problem). I flashed this 'Stock Recovery From 1.54.651.8 OTA' and when i go to search for updates it just hangs on the spinning circle. so then i downloaded the 1.54.654.15 update but when i try to install it or whatever the phone just skips over it and restarts. so, if i just choose factory reset with the stock recovery will that get me back to stock and give me a chance at finding the OTA or do i need to use one of the stock nandroid ones (not really sure what to do with those 6 parts either)?

also, any reason why my battery would report 100% after booting into recovery even if i didnt do anything in it?

Begging for help HTC one E8

I rooted my htc one E8 and was a fool and tried to restore my apps through Titanium backup before doing making a backup through TWRP. I got the android.process.acore stopped working issue. Then wiped in TWRP for factory reset (must of hit something wrong i know) and it then said no OS installed and does nothing but bootloader. I have tried to flash rooms from twrp, fastboot, adb sideload and they all give me the no MD5 file found and it finishes in 5 seconds. It goes to the bootloader only and is basically toast. Looks like i will have to reactivate my old phone. Here are the details if anyone can work miracles!

I have tried to flash multiple ROMS, RUU's.........this is going on about 50 man hours. I have rooted maybe 10 phones prior and never had trouble.

You can only flash a ROM made for your device. Are you trying to flash M8 ROMs? Because they won't work.

The rom's i have tried to flash have been from other E8 forums on other sites (XDA has none for E8). I posted in the E8 forum but noone has responded to my post from last week. The E8 is also known as the M8 Ace. RUU's don't exist under "E8" its always M8 Ace.

You need to update your TWRP recovery version. That's why your OS version is blank in your bootloader. The newer versions of TWRP address that issue. You also need to update your firmware & Hboot to the latest version. You can dirty flash Viper 3.1.0 over 2.5.0.

SIM Tool Kit app

Aloha,

So I flashed your copy of 1.54.651.8-Stock.zip nandroid with no issues. I noticed that when I go through the OTA with the stock recovery, the OTA fails. I read that all original apps have to be on in order for it to work. I noticed that when doing the same method with my At&t variant of the M8, the stock nandroid did not contain the "Sim Tool Kit" app that yours did. Do you happen to have any other stock back ups?

Has anyone else encountered this problem? What is the work around?

Thank you in advanced
