[One (M8) General] Einwod:
You have an old version, that's for sure. The phone is originally from Vodafone UK, so the firmware should be x.xx.161.xx variety. I would go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

In the first post, find a backup matching your CID number, one from TWRP is probably the best. You need to have a version of TWRP 2.8.4.0. or higher to see your firmware info later, so have it handy also. Flash back the Nandroid you download, after extracting it to a folder on your computer and then moving that folder to the TWRP backup location on your phone. Restore the Nandroid, then you need to flash the HTC original recovery for your phone. This will enable you to get OTA updates. You will probably have 2 or 3 OTA to download and install to be up to date. After that, you can flash a custom recovery, latest TWRP, and flash a custom ROM if you wish. What I would suggest first, it attempt to go S-OFF with Sunshine. It costs $25 US, but worth it. You are then in control of your device. Try Sunshine BEFORE upgrading your firmwares, otherwise it probably won't work.

[One (M8) General] Einwod:
You can search for [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] he has a thread here for firmwares that have been updated to included all files. Change your cid to supercid and you can have any firmware you like. Enjoy your new released phone. It's 3am here, I need some sleep.

[One (M8) General] Forsaked:
Since you are S-OFF now, use this guide (i mean this thread here) to change your CID to SuperCID (11111111).

After that use this guide, download the 4.16.401.10 Wipe FUU (yes, the one which wipes your internal SD), flash it like it is mentioned in both threads.

Now you are on the latest firmware, now flash the latest TWRP image from here, boot into it and put your desired ROM on your external SD (TWRP mounts your SDs as MTP devices) and flash it.

If you follow both guides step by step it should work! :)

S-Off?!

Hey guys, i'm currintly on lollipop stock ROM, trying to unlock bootloader, but when I saw the steps here, there's one that says:

- Un-check "Fast boot" on your phone by going to Settings -> Battery Manager.

The thing is... I can't find that option... I did everything the first part before unlock bootloader says, except this, because I can't find the option... Shall I continue without that step or what?

Thanks in advance!

This used to be in the power menu. You could disable fastboot. It's no longer there. Just continue.

S Off

Hi guys, basically bought a HTC M8 which was already updated to Lollipop 5.01.

Ive unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP recovery. Ive managed to root and installed a custom rom. Problem I am having is with S Off.

basically when it was on the stock htc rom tried sunshine etc didn't work. So I installed the coinrom, again tried rumrunner, firewater and sunshine none are working, the root works fine as all apps work and ive used root checker. Sunshine comes up with a ramdisk error and says install stock rom. So I tried installing another rom called maximus hd, this is near to stock and allows me to go further into the sunshine process but then root doesn't work which is weird??. I reinstall coinrom and everything is rooted again.

I am patiently waiting for sunshine 3 as I don't mind paying but the guys have been promising this for weeks and it just seems like its not going to come out,

a. has anyone got any ideas of a custom rom I could install which might make me compatible with one of the s off procedures?

b. worse case scenario would using a java card be my best bet?

c. If I relock the bootloader and return to stock must I def go back to lollipop and if I did install a lower rom 4.2 for instance what would happen would I brick?

d. Would it be worth me re-rooting the device?

here are my garvar results:

Hang in there. Soon: https://twitter.com/TheRootNinja/status/577372790002577408

Your version main is not showing here, you must have an old version of TWRP. Update to the latest version. If you are on 5.0, your firmware must be up to date. You could go back to a kitkat ROM without problem if you really wanted to. You must be as close to stock as possible for Sunshine to work. Either go back to stock or ARHD is a very close second.

There's no need to re-root the device.
[One (M8) General] maverick7777:
Thanks

Im a little confused with firmware on the HTC what is it?, I understand kernel, recovery, radio and rom, is the firmware the bootloader version ie HBoot?

Also when I first had the phone I am sure it was on stock 5.01 lollipop, but I didn't to a backup in the recovery I just straight installed a custom rom, hence why I wondering would it allow me to go back to kitkat stock say?, everyone is telling me you cant with s on, but then again its weird as I thought with s on you couldn't install a custom recovery hence not being able to downgrade or am I missing something.

Also whats the easiest way to upgrade TWRP, is that the best recovery for the HTC?, I have used Philz and CWM before too. Sometimes when I charge the phone and its off TWRP loads and flashes for some reason which is a bit strange.

I will give the ARHD rom a go and see if that gives me any joy with S OFF first, as I was told to go back to stock you have to relock bootloader and use a RUU all this I haven't done before so little daunting I may mess things up.

Thank again

[One (M8) General] Einwod:
Hi,

Firmware is basically the brains of the device. If it's not correct, the device won't function correctly. Hboot is included in the firmware.

Follow the link to get the latest TWRP. It works better than CWM or Philz recovery.

ARHD the latest version is good, however you'll have to wait for sunshine to work, I think. No harm trying, but don't hold your breath. Sunshine is close to becoming available for 4.4.4 devices. Well worth the money.
[One (M8) General] maverick7777:
Omg its done many thanks I used arhd and persevered a few times with sunshine then bang paid and it was done. I've also upgraded twrp via the twrp manager from the play store it said error but checked and it installed 2.8.5 so happy with that now going to try skydragon Rom ;)

'Waiting for device'

Hey guys... I'm trying to unlock the bootloader but there's a problem... I used the automated way to install ADB drivers, and I saw one of last posts of the thread, a guy saying he zipped the Newer api22, that I just need to unzip and substitute in the ADB folder... I did that, but when I'm using the command to get the oem code, it says: "waiting for device" for an eternity, while in this OP, it only takes 0.069s... can someone help me please?

I entered in fastboot and then I connected to pc, doing something wrong or is the ADB newer drivers problem?

Thanks in advance!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if someone is anxious about going straight from kitkat to lollipops 4.16.401.10, could they not flash 4.16.1540.8, then 4.16.401.9 and then finally 4.16.401.10? ... even flashing each twice a piece for safe measure?

[One (M8) General] Sojourner353:
It's nothing to worry about, your device is compatible with the firmware files in this guide, once you flash a new firmware these numbers will come back, I believe they disappear due to a custom recovery being installed.

the fact is that i'm completely stock: bootloader locked, s-on

Yes it's a matter of seconds to a minute or 2 max ! And yes you see progress when it's flashing.

Another shot in the dark, write yourself another CID like HTC__001 or supercid 11111111

And reboot the pc/laptop and make sure to connect the phone to a straight powered usb 2.0 port to the pc/laptop.

Then try again ?

There are no disadvantages as such, if you read and follow what is written to the letter, no shortcuts. The people who write the guides know what they are talking about.

The main advantage of having it is: You can choose to have whatever firmware you like on your device. You can switch between firmwares, CID's ROMs with ease. Sunshine S-OFF is worth every cent.
