Wonder if they plugged any existing exploits (I guess firewater s-off would be the only one that matters)? AT&T likes to do that (plug previous exploits) with their updates. So if you haven't s-off'ed yet, and want to in the future, I would tread carefully before installing this OTA.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] miller_kid:

Just upgraded....noticed that they have added Fitbit as a default application as well.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] P05TMAN:
So let me make sure I have the process to install the OTA correct (I am S-OFF):

1. Make backups

2. Download the OTA, place in root dir of Internal Storage

3. Flash stock recovery

4. Relock Bootloader with All-In-One Toolkit

5. Enter stock recovery

6. Select "apply from phone storage" (may be different tho, that's what it was on the M7)

7. Follow onscreen instructions during installation, if any.

8. Reboot

9. Profit

Please, kindly correct anything I may have missed.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DirtyDroidX:
Just patches for bloat etc etc . There is the extreme power savings mode, new baseband and a few other optimizations that should run better.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] BrianBaker:
Anyone notice that when you turn your screen on the display has a slight fade in now with brightness? Was this already present on 1.54 roms and other carriers with updated firmware? I don't recall my Sprint M8 doing that when I had it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
I was running viperone 1.6 and twrp recovery I saved a back up then I restored my phone to a back up of the stock rom and I flashed the stock recovery then I manually flashed the ota zip which came up sucessful and gave me the 1.58 at&t software then I flashed back to twrp recovery.

Now my question is I restored my back up of my viperone 1.6 in twrp now did going back to my back up did I keep my 1.58 software update ? Or did I just restore back to the old firmware ?

I did save a back up of the stock rom with the 1.58 update so I could actually go back to it and re flash the viperone rom but I have had problems with my back up apps for my apps, sms and call logs and such so if I have to re flash viperone from the stock back up I could lose everything.

I"am adding a screen shot does anyone know if these are the correct baseband and build numbers ? My build number starts 1.54 shouldnt that be 1.58 if it was the updated firmware ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Jarheadflip:
Since you restored you viperone backup it will show 1.54 since that is the base they use it looks like the update went through fine your baseband is 1.16 which is in the 1.58 update
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] drivel2787:
Stock, rooted M8, S-OFF. I have tried the manual zip, I have tried the other methods given and I continue to get the recovery screen half way through the update and then reboot and get a failed message. Has there been a flashable zip released yet? Any other known working methods. I pretty much give up at this point lol.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
Ok yeah that makes sense because the viperone rom lists 1.54 for the newest version, so when they update to the 1.58 my specs will show that. Thanks for the post !!!!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
Do you have any of the factory apps deleted or frozen ? You need them all installed and not frozen. You do have the stock recovery installed right ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] drivel2787:
I think that's the problem I realized once posting I removed the att apps. Any way to get them back or do I pretty much just do the nandroid method
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] manofcolombia:
Nandroid to be safe and always back up bloat before removing it with TB. Make sure your nandroid doesn't have anything added to the /system like xposed framework/modules
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dray:
I'm a little confused . So I would like to take the OTA for this but I am currently on 1.12.502.18 running custom ROM, unlocked BL and S-Off. What stock recovery can I flash to take the OTA?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] JValorDV:
It appears that in addition to the stock recovery, you also need to have the stock ROM installed, and all the apps on the system must be unaltered. This has been a problem for me since I removed some of the bloatware, which the OTA recognized and gave an error about.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Apparently a factory reset won't work, even though it supposedly restores everything as it was, including bloatware. A stock ROM has been uploaded, but last I checked, one is deodexed so it can't be flashed directly and the other is odex but people were reporting issues, like the Wifi not working. Others have pointed to using Nandroid backups, but I haven't attempted it yet.

I'm especially bummed out over all this nonsense because in the process of trying to restore everything to how it was in the system ROM, Google Services Framework got messed up and now I have random errors all over.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dray:
I have a stock Nandroid I can flash but the stock recovery has been elusive thus far. What kind of errors? Do you mean FC's?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
What I've read on that thread, is that you just can't "dirty" flash (keep user data) the deodexed ROM onto the stock odexed ROM. A "clean" flash should be fine. Just wipe /data (user data, plus Dalvik and cache) and flash whatever the hell you want.

If its wiping the user data that worries you, just use Titanium Backup to backup any app data you need. I'm back up again after a full wipe using TB in about 10-15 minutes.

I can never understand why modded users jump through so many hoops to install AT&T's crappy OTA updates.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] dray:
Mainly for FW fixes/improvements/radios etc etc
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Radio is already posted on the radio thread. I doubt that many folks here (although I know there are some) that are going back to stock even know what other firmware modules are included, much less why they would want them. I honestly think most folks just rush because they want the "latest and greatest", but with AT&T its always 2 steps behind that the other carriers already have, anyway.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] JValorDV:

Flashing it worked painlessly for me.

As far as the errors go, Google Play Store says no connection, Hangouts won't load, Maps and Google+ crash immediately on launch, as well as a great assortment of other random errors. I am still in the process of troubleshooting it, and have made some progress, but I figure at this point the easiest way to fix it is to just flash a viable copy of the stock ROM either with the OTA and be done with it, or the one preceding the OTA so I can install.

Ah ok, that makes sense about the dirty flash then. I will attempt it, as I do have everything backed up with TB. As far as the OTA, if I had known what kind of hassle it would be, I would have very much just ignored it. I thought all I would have to do is flash the stock recovery, but as the thread has developed, that is unfortunately not the case.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] garyd9:
The OTA doesn't install replacement files for everything. In fact, for MOST of the stuff, it patches the existing files. If the existing file is missing, then it can't patch it.

Expressed a different way, the OTA contains information about what is different from the original firmware to the new firmware, and then applies only those differences. If the original is modified, then it doesn't have an accurate base to apply the differences to.

In the future, you might find that you are better off not actually removing things. It's usually just as effective to use an application such as "titanium backup pro" to FREEZE an application (and that leaves the file intact for patching.)

You might consider looking in the non-carrier specific M8 forum for a thread containing a COLLECTION OF STOCK nandroid backups. AT&T's model ID (MID) is CWS__001. (This is more than enough information for you to find what you seek.)

Take care

You can just re flash your factory rom, or download a factory rom and flash it and as long as you wipe data, dalvic and cashe then when the factory rom boots, it will boot with the factory apps back installed and working.

When trying manually are you going in to the stock recovery options to install the update ?

Just to confirm, you do have a stock rom installed with no stock roms either removed or frozen correct ?

Also you do have a stock recovery installed right ? Meaning no twrp or cwm recovery right ?

You do not need to do this with a computer through bootloader.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] juvezavala:
I've got a stock recovery in place and haven't touched any stock apps. Relocked bootloader. but not sure now if I have the right stock recovery because if I go into recovery there are no "options."
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
When you go to recovery you get the red triangle then push the power button and either the volume up or down button at the same time hold them a few seconds if you hold them too long the phone will reboot it will take a few seconds for the factory recover options to come up. You didnt need to relock your bootloader, you may have to unlock the bootloader through htcdev again after updating since you locked your bootloader.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] juvezavala:
Thanks, didn't know HTC put those options in the recovery! Still fails but at least it tells me why. I had installed RootCloak so that I could still use ISIS wallet and the OTA doesn't like it. Should be good to go in a bit. Thanks everyone!

I had come across this thread, but waved it off for a last-ditch attempt.

Looks like I spoke too soon, the red bootscreen text made a comeback after my second time installing xposed after a flash. I flashed the up to date no red text hboot and it's gone again.

One thing to remember, which I've encountered before but forgot in this instance. Disable/uninstall xposed before any dirty flashing or wiping cache/dalvik, and reinstall it after. Otherwise it can cause some issues.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tower1972:
instead of doing all the work of redoing stock recovery and so on, I remember back with my M7 that people were getting ahold of the firmware and removing a few things inside the zip, which allowed people to flash it without having to go thru all the extra steps, The names of the files escape me atm, but also those of us with SuperCID had to edit a line in there which let us flash this..

Does anyone know what I am referring to?

Thank ya..Im still trying to remember what files they were that were removed.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DirtyDroidX:
Well the update script needs to be rewrote so it will flash In TWRP. Also the .p files are patch files .
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] c5satellite2:
Just a heads up, I do not recommend doing this just yet. I have always been able to remove files from the FW package, change mid/cid, and rezip just fine, but with the m8 doing this bricked 2 for me. Both were ATT devices, first one I only changed mid/cid and after getting success message it never rebooted, no charge led, nothing. Just qhusb_bulk in device manager. Second one was the new ATT fw so I only needed to remove recovery and hboot, same outcome. Flashed successfully, sent reboot, and bricked. I have never once had an issue flashing FW on HTC devices before this. I have flashed well over a hundred devices going back to the 8125 wizard for around 8 years now and never 1 brick.

Get supercid, and do not modify for now just to be safe. And always flash it twice in a row even if you get success the first time.

The files that wipe data are "dzdata"
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Tower1972:
THATS the one lol...Yeah I am SuperCID, and so on, but wanted to update my firmware without having to worry about wipes then reinstalling stock recovery, making backups, etc etc, like I used to on the M7 :P

Surprised noone has done thing yet !
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DirtyDroidX:
Just a rule of thumb never flash a new HBOOT. If someone who is on the stock firmware from the new update can do a system pull " adb pull system " I can make a rooted odexed and deodexed flashable zip pretty quickly. Whoever can do this please PM me with the pull.

Thanks again and i hope you were able to easily replace both of your devices!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Blueoval24:
This is interesting. Kinda unrelated to the original topic, but related to what you guys are discussing, if I pulled the boot.img from the zip used to flash the R/W kernel, as opposed to just flashing the zip, would that also cause a bricked device? The reason I ask, is because something similar happened to me a while back. I was used to pulling the boot.img out because on my One X+ we didnt have S-off so had to flash the kernel separately.

Anyway long story short, I just flashed the boot.img via adb and didnt flash the zip. It worked for a few days just fine, until one morning the Green LED did not go off so I rebooted. That was the last time I saw the screen turn on or do anything. Even plugged in, I did not see a colored LED.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Brick from flashing something will usually (always?) occur immediately. So it was likely just a coincidence. I've read reports of more than a few One X (EVITA) phones just spontaneously going bad. And the reports anecdotally seemed to be more common as the device got older. Same might be true with the One X+.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Blueoval24:
Thanks for reply/info. Also, I didn't really explicitly mention, but it was my first m8 that bricked when I restarted. My one x+ is still alive and well :thumbup:

S-Off after OTA update

So my "depth sensor" camera (The smaller upper one) has some fog build up or something going on in the inside of the lens. I'm going to see if AT&T will switch out my phone. Has anyone tried s-off (firewater) after receiving the OTA? I'm sure that by now the phones in stock at AT&T have the new firmware and just want to be sure that if I switch my phone because of camera woes that I can still s-off. If not then I may as well keep this current one.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Android The Greek:
I had no issue
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Ah yes, I see. The way it was written, I misunderstood it to mean it was your One X+ that was bricked.

In any case, no reason to believe the same might happen on the M8. A sudden hardware failure like that is more likely as a device ages, but not impossible for a newer device.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] fix-this!:
Guesses on 4.4.3? I wonder if they will lock the bootloader?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] c5satellite2:
They might have a new hboot that defeats current s-off packages, it won't affect you if you are already s-off. Unlocking of the bootloader has nothing to do with an update. Purely a function of htcdev. ATT could stop unlocking just by asking HTC, no update required. I severely doubt this will change for ATT users.
