Thanks forma you job
[One (M8) General] Sojourner353:
Will look for it, mod and repack it then upload for everyone soon.
[One (M8) General] Luigiesin:
Thanks brother!

So this new update is basically just FW right? No ROM changes?
[One (M8) General] Sojourner353:
Yeah just FW, having issues finding it, where did you see it?
[One (M8) General] Luigiesin:
That's the latest OTA that just came out for Tmobile two to three days ago... Going to try to find a link.

Awesome.. I'm running the T-Mobile sense version... Would be great if you can find a FW no wipe, no stock recovery that doesn't lock the bootloader. Thanks brother!
[One (M8) General] Sojourner353:

[One (M8) General] Luigiesin:

[One (M8) General] DROITURK182:
Does anybody have access to a link for the new T-Mobile firmware 2.22.531.6 with no wipe, and not signed with no red text. If not what do we need to do to get this added to the op? Do we get the official RUU and hack it? Because I don't need the stock recovery or Boot.IMG in the firmware.

I have a device from AT & T and tried to change S-on to S-off via firewater for a tutorial in which you had to install the rom Insertcoin, but firewater method no longer works.

I tried the method sunshine, but says that the ROM version is not compatible and that I would have to install an stock rom. I've looked and can not find this rom.

The tutorial I used was this:

Just checked the links and their working my end, can you please try again? Thanks.
[One (M8) General] sasquatch080:
Yes I have the exact issue. I have the same version. HTC dev sends unlock.code.bin, flashed successfully but did not unlock boot loader. I can't even root with towelroot and sunshine reboots the phone I'm stuck too.
[One (M8) General] bloodhawk:
The issue was fixed once the GPS update hit. It was the one which went from 2.22.1540.3 -> 2.22.1540.4 (41.50mb)

Im not sure if there is a zip available here or not. Try looking for a software update manually.

Though i doubt it was a GPS update tbh.
[One (M8) General] sasquatch080:
Pulling my hair on this I'm on 2.22.1540.4. Next thing I can try is HTC dev unlock from another computer. Hoping sunshine is updated but idk.
[One (M8) General] bloodhawk:
Did you try doing a manual update search?

I was on contact with a developer regarding this for quite a few days, after which the OTA came through and the issue was fixed for a lot of people here.
[One (M8) General] sasquatch080:
I will try that even though I think I'm on latest.
[One (M8) General] bloodhawk:
Well thats how it worked for me. I did not show up as an OTA , for some reason. Also there was a bigger update before that which said it had updated to 2.2.1540.4 , but the software version still showed 2.22.1540.3.
[One (M8) General] sasquatch080:
I'm on the road right now. Got a link to the ota you used?
[One (M8) General] bloodhawk:
Unfortunately i didnt get the time to back it up. It was an automatic one from HTC.

Late entry to HTC M8 - coming from Samsung world.

[One (M8) General] derWolf_:
One question: is there a way to s-off the phone while with 4.4.3, without using Sunshine? I tried with firewater, and nothing happens. (I searched for the answer, however all I got, was that I have to use Sunshine, which ain't gonna happen :) )
[One (M8) General] inningsdefeat500:
tx, I see its a paid one so I dont intend to install any ROMs, all I needed was root - is it necessary to S-oFF?
[One (M8) General] jkolner:
Great guide, but i got one question about custom recovery.

Where must i place the "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3-m8.img" - in same folder as adb.exe or on the internal sd-card?
[One (M8) General] guyd:
If all you want is root on the stock rom, then no.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

No. Without sunshine, no s-off. Simple as that.
[One (M8) General] kangping:
I don't think it matters as long as you specify the full path to the file in your fastboot command.

In any case, it stays on your computer and gets flashed from there...
[One (M8) General] bloodhawk:
Did you get the updatE?
[One (M8) General] sasquatch080:
I downloaded a update from the ota collection thread. It looks like the update I'm on. I tried renaming it to update.zip, Ota.zip, and just left it alone as it is. I went into recovery and tried applying from sdcard, from phone storage, but nada. It shows it cannot mount sdcard. Then reboots. All I can do now is wait and hope for a sunshine update or something. I cannot root via towelroot, HTC dev unlock flashed successfully but no bootloader write. Still searching and reading the crap out of different threads.
[One (M8) General] bloodhawk:
Can you link me to the update you downloaded?

You will have to goto fastboot RUU mode to flash an OTA manually. (fastboot oem rebootRUU) -> (fastboot flash zip 12345.zip)

But i really wouldn't do that unless im really sure which update im flashing. I initially flashed the 2.22.1540.3 and ended up corrupting the bootloader. Then somehow i found the 2.22.1540.4 update (This one was the update before the actual fix).

After all this i received the mentioned 2.22.1540.4 GPS fix update.

This is a problem from HTC's end and for the specific batch/model from the recent months. And the OTA i am talking about fixes it.

Did you look at this thread :

[One (M8) General] bloodhawk:
Alright so there is an OTA after that one.

Factory reset the phone, set it up again and do a manual software update check by going to Setting -> About -> Software update (im not sure if it was right here or if it was in the Software details sub section)

[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Kinda figured it wouldn't work, especially if you're on 4.4.3... Try Sunshine S-OFF it's $25 but it'll have a better chance than firewater.
[One (M8) General] jdh10475:
Thanks again I used sunshine and all is good. I needed to update my firmware and s-off looked to be the best way. Now my firmware is up to date and I'm s-off I can't complain.
[One (M8) General] jkolner:
Same here, tried Sunshine but it didn't work either. Found out the problem was that you need to have a close to stock Rom for Sunshine to work.

Flashed ARHD and got S-Off with Sunshine.

It's possible that Firewater works if you are on stock Rom.

----------

Hello everyone, new guy here. I pretty much never ask for help, which is something I should probably change, so I've been reading a lot about rooting the M8 and one thing that worried me was losing the OTA updates. Apparently there is already a thread with a method to avoid this, but I believe I have managed to improve this method. Since I couldn't post there for being new, I decided to post here, so forgive me.

Alright, I won't explain a thing about unlocking the bootloader, obviously, there's both this thread and HTCDev for that. So after unlocking the bootloader AND BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE such as flashing supersu or even a custom recovery, please follow these steps:

1. Get a custom recovery file (I suppose any will do, but I used philz touch) and save it to where adb and fastboot are to make things easier;

2. Get Android Revolution HD rooting tools rar (contains boot.img and rooting tools zip, ignore stock recovery file);

3. Save the boot.img to where adb and fastboot are as well, and transfer the rooting tools zip to your phone's storage

4. Get your phone into the bootloader: adb reboot bootloader

5. Flash boot.img: fastboot flash boot boot.img

6. The improvement: fastboot boot "name of custom recovery.img" - your phone will run the custom recovey of your choice without having to flash it over the stock one;

7. Flash the rooting tools zip using the custom recovery and then reboot.

This is but a small improvement, but it skips over flashing the custom recovery and then reflashing the stock recovery, so I suppose there's less to go badly this way. Once again, sorry if the post is misplaced and I hope this will be of use to the community.

Cheers

[One (M8) General] jdh10475:
What do the firmware zips on the first page contain? i.e. Do they have the radio h-boot recovery etc or what has been removed?

I flashed - 2.22.401.5 red warning removed. My recovery was not replaced so I'm guessing that has been removed but not sure about the other items normally included in the firmware.

In my case, and I tried everything (OTA kill, removing ota.certs, and so on), Titanium Backup helped. Just freeze the app responsible for over the air updates. "Updater 60741111" - that's the name of it (well in polish it is "Aktualizator 60741111"). And after freezing the app, I cleaned the cache, rebooted. And that was it, no more nasty 650mb or so of nasty updates. Now I'm watching the thread witch firmware updates .zip files and flashing them my self.

On the other side, there is too much I would have to do to get the latest OTA. It is kind of messy, that after flashing custom recovery, removing preinstalled apps, one have to reverse it all just for OTA.
