[One (M8) General] franklin411:
I can't seem to get this to work. I'm trying to flash the 2.22.401.4 firmware so my phone won't take forever to boot, but I get the FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail) error. My getvar all info is bootloader 3.16.0.0000, baseband 0.89.20.0321, version-main is completely blank, version misc is pvt ship s-off, product is m8_wlv, cidnum is vzw_001.

TWRP bug. Flash this version of TWRP https://www.dropbox.com/s/99zidum98gvjaue/TWRP-2.7.1.0_OS_Fix.img

Then reflash your firmware.

Also, don't post your Serial No and IMEI on a forum.

EDIT: Ah wait, you're using a Verizon model right? That recovery may not work on yours. You'd better check on TWRP forum first.
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
Thanks, and I knew someone was going to say that about my personal info.
[One (M8) General] Brds7t7:
Don't flash that version of TWRP yet though, just edited my post above.
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
Oh crap! [emoji33]
[One (M8) General] Brds7t7:
If you've already done it, then reflash your original TWRP before rebooting. Apologies, completely missed your Verizon CID & Model number. :silly:
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
Thanks, after I seen your post I reflashed my backup of TWRP with flashify
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
Thanks! That worked...but now I've got no radio apparently. No cellular or data services, but the phone OS is working. Any ideas on what I should do?
[One (M8) General] Brds7t7:
There may be a fix on the Verizon TWRP thread, but I'm in the UK and know nothing about Verizon phones. :confused:
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
Not sure.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

Did you boot back into your Os or did you flash a rom after?
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
Booted back into the OS. I had already flashed a ROM but it was taking forever to load. I reset my CID to VZW__001 just now but it didn't change the radio situation.
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
Try to dirty flash. Also what recovery are you using.
[One (M8) General] Brds7t7:
Is the baseband version actually showing in your bootloader? If not, you wont be able to fix it by flashing a rom. You'll need a specific Verizon firmware (radio.img) to fix that.
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
TWRP...dirty flash didn't do anything. But at least the fone boots fast now! Before it was taking about 5-10 mins to get going.

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

Ya, it's showing baseband 1.19.21331147A1.09G. Maybe that's still not compatible with Verizon?

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

Bah...I can't post in the radio thread due to too few posts. Will I lose S-off if I go this route? I just got it today via the Sunshine method.

[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
I would try re flashing the firmware. Or flash back to the older firmware
[One (M8) General] Brds7t7:
I agree with Enigma, seems like you have flashed the wrong firmware somehow. Are you not getting a verizon signal at all?

The 2.22.401.4 is for WWE M8_UL

I don't think that is compatible with Verizon model. Your model is M8_VZW I think.

You should check the specific Verizon threads for the correct firmware.
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
Nothing...not even voice. I'll try reflashing the firmware....I know just enough to get myself in trouble! :p
[One (M8) General] Brds7t7:
Be very careful when flashing firmware, always check you have the correct one. S-Off frees up the phone but it makes it easier to brick.
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
Thanks! Ya, I did see this warning on the place where I started down this garden path:

Important 1: For Verizon devices you will have to wait for Verizon to release their 4.4.3 build for the Verizon firmware.... if you flash the above firmwares you will have no WiFi.

But I thought...I could live w/o wifi. That's life anyway.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54408500&postcount=9592

So I guess I should try to go back to where I started, which was baseband 0.89.20.0321. Thank goodness I posted that info in the thread earlier, or I'd have no idea!

---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

Is this the right way to go? Frankly it seems like there's not much out there for Verizon. Kinda regret renewing my contract with them given the douchey way they lock everything up.

Did u flash the latest firmware from this thread
[One (M8) General] Brds7t7:
I don't know much about US networks, but they seem to really cripple the phones and also add a ton of bloat. :(
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
I'm not sure...how do you know which one you're supposed to use?

EDIT: I looked at the files "android-info.txt" in each of the firmwares listed in the thread, and none of the had a VZW CID. Is that how you know they won't work?
[One (M8) General] ArtificialMusik:
I need help. I got a refurb phone and now that I am required to update the firmware, I am running into issues with it.

I restored my back up from my original phone after unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery. Following that I was able to use my phone in its same old form. Now here's the problem.

I followed this guide UP-TO the point where you are required to install SuperSU. I installed SuperSU on my current rom and I cannot for whatever reason, get the permissions window to pop up when Im trying to use Firewater to S-OFF my device. Root Checker says I'm rooted. I even towelrooted for extra messures. But for whatever reason, I can not make SuperSU work correctly. When I get to the ADB Shell step. I type su and nothing happens. No prompt on my phone. Please help... What am I doing wrong? This isn't the first time I've S-OFF'd. This is just a refurb...
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
Um this is in the m8 Verizon development thread so I assume its for the Verizon m8

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 AM ----------

Are you on a stock rom?
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
Well the one I did find that was specifically listed as for Verizon has the Verizon CID in the android-info.txt file. The others list pretty much every company under the sky *except* our pal Verizon. :(
[One (M8) General] ArtificialMusik:
I am on a Sense based rom.. ViperROM 1.8. Am I required to go back?
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
I would flash the latest from this thread and see what happens.
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
K, I'll give it a shot. If not I'll have to do the Verizon specific one I found from April, I guess.
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
So your trying to run firewater correct?

It's better to be on as close to stock as possible for any exploit. It's worth a shot

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------

Good luck report back.
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
Didn't work. Maybe I could pull just the radio.img file from this Verizon RUU and push just that thru ADB?

http://www.andromods.com/download-files/htc-one-m8-ruu-verizon-collection.html
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
Seeing that you flashed a m8_ul firmware your nv partition might be all mess up up.... You might have to ruu back witch means need to s off again possibly
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
The radio thing didn't work, so now I'm going to try the stock RUU thing again. I say again because I tried it a second ago and it didn't process right or something. I got "error: cannot open 'c'\adb\0p6bimg.zip"
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
I'm going to flash the latest in a few, hopefully this don't happen to me
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
Well I got mine back together finally. I had to load the reversion RUU to the SD card and let the bootloader auto-apply it. Then I reinstalled Venom. I still have S-off, but it also boots slow as molasses (5 mins or so to boot).
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
Now flash the firmware from this thread and all should be good
[One (M8) General] franklin411:
Are you on Verizon? The other thread says that it won't work until Verizon updates their firmware, and they're usually not only last, but actually a few months past everyone else when it comes to updates. :(

hey guys, im trying to get S-off using Firewater but having no luck yet.

Ive followed all the instructions to the T but firewater keeps on just looping

I also tried holding the power button on the phone for 60 seconds as the terminal window says to do, but that doesnt do anything either.. All I can see are the dots slowly filling up the screen.

Do not have htc sync installed, usb debugging is enabled & fastboot is disabled.

Running ARHD latest version, no other mods.

any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks
[One (M8) General] ArtificialMusik:
I think I might have the patched kernel that doesn't allow you to use firewater. Am I really forced into paying $25 for some shovelware to get what I want out of my device? (Even though I know how to do it already.)

Hello, my friends!

I have few questions about firmware, maybe someoane can help me. Many thanks in advance!

1. I have CID_032 (East Europe). What is the firmware version suitable for my phone?

2. These version of firmware is each one designated for different region? Or bigger number is better? :)

3. How I can identify current firmware version, installed on my phone now?

4. If I will do S-OFF by SunShine, I can install any version of firmware?

Many thanks again!

What is the difference between versions "with red text" and "without red text" and what mean this "red text"?
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
First to get your info you have to boot to bootloader and run the command fastboot getvar all. This is started in op.

If you s off and obtain super Cid, yes you can flash whatever you want.

The red text is what shows up on each boot on the HTC screen witch happens when you s off.

Technically yes.
[One (M8) General] rh1707:
[MENTION=5064117]enigma2446[/MENTION] I kinda figured that Sunshine was my only alternative. As a user who just wants to customize stuff with sense toolkit and xposed framework, remove unwanted apps like stocks, htc sense apps & other language packs. Personally it was just effing frustrating how these 2 items were so elusive and a bane in my mission to complete the "Full Release of my phone from the Shackles of Authority" how could/would S-Off and SuperCID benefit me based on my description above.

To be truly honest I would say i am just a slightly above average user who knows how to follow instructions to a T, but do not have actual technical knowledge of linux, android, kernels etc... It's just by principle that I refuse to be tied to what my phone needs to be as set by google, HTC or my carrier. To sum it all up, do I really need S-off and SuperCID?
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
If that's all you want to do then your all set with what you have now other then being tied to a pc or Mac to flash Kernals(boot.img) each time you want to try a new rom. The benefits of s off are endless as technology and amazing developers progress every second. With s off you can flash on the fly without the need of a pc or Mac. Flashing things like new radios, firmware, Kernals, mods, neat little tricks, certain sound enhancements for are hardware that doesn't come out of the box. There's a list of things that s off can do to benefit and potentially harm your device. $25 is a small price to pay. Some do it just because it's available to do. If you would like to learn more about the differences of being s off or on then I'd advise on searching xda and Google.
[One (M8) General] rh1707:
Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I guess I am pretty much set cos I think I'm only gonna update my ROM when and updated version of this one comes out. However. when you say sound enhancements, are you referring to the Harman/Kardon tweak? Cos I already have it enabled but havent tested it out. Does it mean that it wouldnt work without S-off?
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
According to the h/k thread you must be s off. I haven't tested it on a s on device

Unless your device came natively with it
[One (M8) General] rh1707:
Great.. Just my luck.. Music plays but no sound.. If I don't want S-Off do I need to reinstall my ROM and deselect the Harman Kardon tweak? Will it work?
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
You could dirty flash it and deselect it without having to wipe and re flash I think
[One (M8) General] rh1707:
You're absolutely right. Dirty flashed and it works like a charm now. One final question, for ARHD 10.2 with the aforementioned settings, is it better to run ART or Dalvik? All my research comes to an almost 50-50 consensus. So just would like to hear what the opinion is for this particular ROM.
[One (M8) General] enigma2446:
Art runtime is still in its early stages and I've used both but I still use dalvik
