Still got no luck using the full Euro RUU you ([MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION]) provided above. It just won't install with the following error:

target reported max download size of 1826418688 bytes
error: cannot load 0P6BIMG_xxx.zip [no further error message]

Downloaded twice in case the zip was bad. Tried also the Euro RUU.exe, no good.

I guess my device is either Telus or Rogers. Looking for its RUU.zip in AFH.

However, I could flash the Euro firmware here https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/he...stock-twrp-t3086860/post60218734#post60218734 I tried Euro and Telus firmwares, both were good. My version number is back now. Signal's OK, but still no LTE.

Tried flashing the Hongkong radio from https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2736921 ended up with no signal at all.

Wishing to try Taiwan radio.img but found none.

I reverted back to the working Euro firmware. No LTE still.

Edited:

Tried many GSM firmwares with no better outcome.
[One (M8) General] masterdex:
I would like to install the firmware only, possibly with TWRP recovery already present and without red text. Someone can provide the exact link thank you.

Wrong place to ask friend.

Here is the right place - https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2710503

6.12.401.4_NoRedText_hboot.zip is for your CID
[One (M8) General] masterdex:
You are always very kind thank you.:good:

Said between us, I came back to your Blues building and it's great, much better than the various Nougat present on the forum.

Anyway, they asked where you pointed me even if I intend to install all the firmware and not just Hboot to delete red writing.
[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
Actually I have an updated blues ROM that come with Sense 9 and updated Sense apps but never posted it because not sure anyone still want to use the ROM.

I can make one firmware.zip for you with everything in it including TWRP & no redtext. If you want it, I upload tomorrow as I already switch off my PC.
[One (M8) General] masterdex:
Thank you for coming up firmware tomorrow.:good::good::good:

Regarding Blues I sincerely love GPE style and I do not use the sense but Nova launcher but if you feel that there are improvements I would be happy to try and report.;)
[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
Here it is, firmware 6.12.401.4 with No Red Text and TWRP 3.1.1.0 included and all other stuff except boot.img

It is modified to work with almost all CID/MID (except those Sprint, Verizon or any CDMA variants)

Download : 6.12.401.4_NoRedText_TWRP.zip

How-To

Download 6.12.401.4_NoRedText_TWRP.zip - linked above

Put your device to bootloader/fastboot mode

Run below commands:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip 6.12.401.4_NoRedText_TWRP.zip

You'll see -

if failed : FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)

repeat fastboot flash zip 6.12.401.4_NoRedText_TWRP.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader (if you want to check your current bootloader)

or

fastboot reboot (to reboot directly to system)

Or use the microSD method

Download 6.12.401.4_NoRedText_TWRP.zip and rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip

Put it on root of your microSD (not in any folder)

Boot to bootloader, select hboot it will scan the zip file and ask whether to update

Volume up to update

Done .. reboot

Delete/remove 0P6BIMG.zip from your microSD so it won't ask you again for the same process everytime you boot to bootloader/hboot

Yes, it's called Sunshine and costs $25.00 US.

As was once quoted on these forums:

"Yes....why would you not want to be s-off? It means you can do anything to your phone...kind of like a real nice cheap whore and only for $25.00 USD and once done (Sunshine to get S-off) she will allow you to do things you only dreamed of....http://theroot.ninja/".

Make sure you have the correct drivers on your computer. Install htc sync, then remove it. Restart the computer and the drivers will remain. Try again.

To upgrade to the latest firmware, i'm not sure which zip to download and install...

This is what i get when i type in the fastboot getvar all command:

fastboot getvar all

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.25.214500021.06G

(bootloader) version-main: 4.16.401.13

(bootloader) cidnum: 11111111

all: Done!

I did get other things but i don't think they're relevant (like serial number, imei etc.)

I do also have the red text as well when booting the phone into recovery mode.
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
The red text is nothing to worry about, just annoying sometimes. There are some firmwares that have the no-red-txt but you need to find them. By what you have above, you're on lollipop firmware, not mm that begins with a 6.

Try THIS one.
[One (M8) General] ItsNajM8:
I used this zip and I had to run the "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" command twice and then it worked. Carried on with the rest of the steps and it all worked fine. Now i don't have the TWRP recovery anymore (i guess i can just reflash this) but the main problem is:

when i boot back to the home screen, the charging LED remains on, it says fully charged on the lock screen (tho the orange charging LED remains on not the green which signifies full charge) and i get a 4 digit battery percentage

Now i'm really stuck

My phone also heats up quite quickly

[One (M8) General] ItsNajM8:
i have upgraded my firmware, just some problems i'm facing on the previous reply
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
The firmware contains the stock recovery, so it will overwrite TWRP. This will always happen when flashing firmware, unless you use a modified firmware with stock recovery removed (or replaced with TWRP).

Correct, just flash TWRP to the phone again with fastboot.

That is really weird. I haven't seen that behavior before. Can you please post your updated getvar output, all of it, except IMEI and serial number (which are personal info). There is some other info I'd like to check (but you didn't post before).

When i installed the first zip, it removed all the red text so i'm guessing what i've got is the modified hboot.
[One (M8) General] mrrocketdog:
RIGHT. never bothered me.

every flash is a risk. big or small.

:thumbup: redpoint73
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
I doubt it's a modified firmware, since usually it would be indicated as such in the file name. I have a feeling you will find the red test is back now that you've flashed TWRP; since (from what I recall) having custom recovery happens to be the trigger for the red text.

Can you describe your charge LED, charge % issue a bit more? I'm a bit confused what the issue is exactly. It shows orange when the charger is connected, when you expect green? Does the charge LED turn off (as it should) when you unplug the charger? And 4 digit battery % on the lockscreen (what does it say in Settings or notification bar, if you have it shown there)? What 4 digits does it display?
[One (M8) General] ItsNajM8:
Yes the red text is back. it's annoying but not a complete issue.

As shown in the screenshots, i have a 4 digit battery percentage instead of 0-100. Whilst it's not charging, it says it's fully charged and the orange LED remains on (this indicates that the phone is charging usually).

When it is charging, it still says it's fully charged even though it's not and the orange LED stays on.

Normally when the phone is fully charged, I would see a green LED but it says fully charged on the lockscreen and i see what is shown on the screenshot whilst the phone is charging and has an orange LED.

The LED doesn't turn off when i unplug the charger.
[One (M8) General] ItsNajM8:
I am thinking of completely draining the battery and then recharging it but i don't know if i should do this
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
Wow, yeah that is a weird one. I haven't seen that problem posted before.

One thing you can try, is recalibrate the battery meter by holding power+vol up+ vol down until the phone reboots.

The only other thing I can think, if RUU back to stock. But this would wipe the phone, and you would have to set it up again (and may or may not fix the problem).
[One (M8) General] ItsNajM8:
Doing the recalibration didn't help. However it did set a few things back to stock on the ROM (using ViperOneM8 6.1.0)

I'm going to try and drain the battery completely to zero.
[One (M8) General] ItsNajM8:
I re-installed my ROM and the battery plus the hardware issues are all fixed.

However I do get a Snapchat issue where it doesn't let me log in even though I have typed my username and password right. At first I thought this was an issue with s-off but after getting s-off it started working. After upgrading the firmware it doesn't let me log into it. Is there another thread to this or can someone help me out ?

The only thing I can think of is just flashing different ROMs and continuously wiping.
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
You can't sign in to Snapchat if you are rooted. What root version do you have? If Magisk, you can hide Snapchat in the settings and retry. If SuperSU, you need to unroot with the app, and then sign in to Snapchat. Afterwards, just root the device again.
[One (M8) General] ItsNajM8:
So I unroot, install and login to Snapchat, then root and it should be alright?
[One (M8) General] ItsNajM8:
This didn't work.
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
The dirty flash the ROM and try again before rooting.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
I have just bought a HTC M8 (Second hand), but I don't know for what reason it is not recognized by the PC. I have tried in 2 different PC's (one with windows 7, one with windows 10), and it is not recognized. The phone is charging, but I don't hear the USB sound, the one that is played everytime I connect some kind of device. I was thinking that It is from the USB settings from the phone, that it is set to charge only, so I wanted to set the setting to file transfer, but it is not possible, the USB part in settings is grey, it cannot click on it (I wanted to put a print screen with this, but I am a new user, so I am not allowed to do this) . I have tried this with the original cable, and other 2 ones, but the result is the same. What can I try to do? USB debugging is enabled in developer mode
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
Download and install HTCsync. After, you can remove it. The USB drivers will stay on the computer and then you should be OK when you connect the phone again. Try that first and we'll see what happens.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
I forgot to say that I have already downloaded and installed it, before even trying to connect the phone to the pc. But anyway, even with or without drivers, I think that I should hear the sound when I connect a new usb device, but I don't hear it, on 2 distinct computers
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
Needs USB 2.0.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
Unfortunately, one of the laptops has USB 2, but still doesn't work. Now I have tried on another PC with windows 7, USB 2, but still is not working
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
Have you followed the steps to correctly setup adb and fastboot? Search for and find htcfastboot which is a newer version. Check in the device manager that the drivers are correctly installed.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
I installed adb and fastboot with the automatic setup (from here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 ), then I downloaded and installed HTC Sync manager, registered for an account at htcdev.com , enabled USB debugging from the phone, but all was for nothing, because the phone is not listed in device manager at all. In the link that i put here, there is line where it says "If anybody got problem with detecting device, go see picture guide howto_driver.zip", I have downloaded that zip file, and there are some pictures with the steps that I must make if the device is not listed, but I don't even see it in the "other" category, so I cannot make that.

I downloaded the file that you suggested, but I have received the error that some dll file is missing. I found this thread: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/fix-adbwinapi-dll-missing-using-htc-dev-t3123331 , did what said there, and indeed, after I double clicked on htc_fastboot.exe I didn't receive any errors, but still the phone is not listed
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
With phone connected do you get anything from the command adb devices?
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
If I run adb.exe , I see a command prompt window, with a lot of lines, but it is staying on the screen maybe for half a second, then it closes automatically, so I cannot say what is written there. And after, nothing happens

LE: sorry, now I realized better your question. But the answer is no, no devices are shown (maybe I didn't do what was needed: I pressed shift and right clicked in the adb folder, after I clicked open command window here and wrote adb devices)

But, now something happened after a reboot. When the phone restarted, I pressed the down volume button, clicked fastboot reboot, ran adb.exe , after clicked reboot, and after the phone started, I have for the first time in notifications the option to check what I use the usb for. But the problem is that even if I check file transfers, after I click on it nothing happens. When I try again to check the options that I have for USB, the first one is automatically selectet (Just charging). And everytime I select other option, nothing happens, and when I enter the menu again, always the first option is selected
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
You don't run adb.exe. In fastboot menu it's fastboot devices, adb devices when the phone is on and correctly started. Also reboot the computer.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
If I write fastboot devices and hit enter nothing happens. After, I write adb devices, and the outcome is this:

"List of devices attached

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started succesfully * "
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
After that should come the serial number of your device. You don't have the correct drivers installed, otherwise it would show.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
How can I install the correct drivers?

Keeping in mind that I have tried this on more than 1 computer, and the fact that anytime I want to select the file transfer option it gets back to charging only, I think that is something with the phone, but I have no idea what else to try, something that I haven't done until now
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
I suggest you start here and read the first posts completely. Follow the instructions there and it should work. Do everything and don't skip out any steps. If it doesn't work, then it may be a hardware problem.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
I will start this now. But I see that is written for Windows 8 / 8.1. Will it work on Windows 7? My personal laptop has Windows 7 installed, and a friend has Windows 10, yesterday he let me test of the phone is recognized, but he wouldn't like me to work a lot on his laptop.

And another question: should I download and install Android Studio, that has 1.9 gb, or from the down side of the download page, the command line tools?
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
It should work fine on Windows 7 or 10. Don't worry, the instructions are the same for both OS's. Download the whole bundle and set it up as per the instructions. It may take a bit of time, but better to get this right from the start. And also, make sure you have the latest version of Java installed on the computer.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
I have Java, but I will check for updates. I will install Java Developer also, I saw that it may be ok do to it. I started downloading the 1.9 gb file, after it is done I will try to continue with the other steps. I will come back with updates after half an hour maybe
[One (M8) General] Einwod:
Have patience, it will all come together eventually. It's worth it too.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
I am sorry, but I cannot follow the steps in the link. I have downloaded Android Studio, I installed it, but I cannot find and open Android SDK Manager in order to install 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 items. It seems that I just don't have Android SDK Manager installed, and I cannot find a sepparate installation file on google. Can you check if the steps in that tutorial are possible to follow?
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
Just use the XDA site search (top of the webpage, if viewing on your PC) and search the term "easy adb" and you will get results for several light, easy, working adb/fastboot installers. IMO, for what you are doing, this is a lot easier than installing the whole SDK, which is not necessary. Some of the tools may be out of date, and you will get the "out of date" message again. But regardless, the command will go through, and work properly.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
This is the 3rd setup I have tried, without success.

I have manager to download from somewhere android-sdk_r23.0.2-windows , installed all the packages, did also what is said in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw , but still, the outcome of adb devices command can be viewed in the first attached picture. Now I am able to attach files, so on the second photo you can see the greyed part about USB. And in the 3rd, the part when I was able to select one option, but after selecting it and getting back to that menu, the first one was always selected again. So it seems like the phone is somehow "blocking" the access to USB file transfer, and I don't know how to find out if this a software problem or not (hopefully it is, and it can be solved).

If you could suggest me a simple setup that is working for you, it would be perfect, so I would not try some things that I may not do right.

In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkI9v878btI it seems very simple. I have done the exact steps last night, but it didn't show me any serial number, and on the phone I didn't have the option to allow usb debugging. And still, in device manager I cannot find the Android device
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
What exactly is the goal (in connecting the phone to PC)? Since you are posting to this thread, I assume you are trying to unlock the bootloader, root, etc. In which case, fastboot connectivity (not adb) is most important. adb is nice to have, and fastboot may be having similar issues. But I would suggest connecting phone to PC, booting phone to bootloader-fastboot mode, then seeing if you get response to: fastboot devices

If still suffering the same connectivity issues, try another cable. Are you using the original HTC cable (probably the best bet)? Some other manufacturer cables (especially cheap 3rd party ones) don't get data connection. And even an HTC cable, try another, since maybe the cable is damaged.
[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
Have enable USB debugging in Developer options ?

To enable Developer options, you need to click 7 times the build number in settings - about - software information - more

Once you done this, when connected to PC, it should pop-up the USB debugging authorizations to allow PC to connect in USB debugging mode, then only your adb will work.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
This is that I have said until now multiple times, that USB debugging is active, but I don't get any pop-up when I connect the phone. Everything is enabled, and should work properly, but it doesn't. I tried cleaning the charging port with a toothbrush, but it is still not recognized by the PC. The goal is to install a custom ROM (ice), and to root the device. It is not a problem if I will not be able to do this (custom ROM or root), but still connecting the phone to PC is something that can be important, for backing up the app data, and file transfer (adding music to phone, or copying photos and videos to the PC). I have tried with the original cable, and other 2 (both of them original - one of them Logitech, and the other Samsung), in different USB ports, and in different laptop/pc's, but no success.

I can only think that the charging port (I don't know what is the official name, so I will call it charging port) has some problems
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
You mentioned Debugging is enabled once that I see, and it's two pages back in this thread. Try to be polite and patient with "helpers" as ckpv5 is new to the conversation, which is a good thing (fresh eyes, possibly more ideas). Folks are taking their own free time to try to help you, and absolutely no benefit to themselves. It's not always easy for us to go reading pages of posts to get a piece of info, that it took you 5 seconds to answer.

I tend to agree, if you've tried multiple cables, different USB ports on different PCs (and all the required drivers installed) then it's probable you are looking at a hardware issue, like a faulty MicroUSB port on the phone. Especially since the phone doesn't even appear on Device Manager.
[One (M8) General] Nalub:
But I didn't have the intention to be impolite, sorry if it seemed like that. I was referring to the fact that USB debugging is active, and there is no activity in device manager. I tried to clean well the charging port,but I think that I need to open the phone, and clean it better inside, just that I am in foreign country until mid September, and I have limited resources here (working tools and money), so this will have to wait a month and a half. If I would try to clean it with sanitary alcohol it would be ok? I hope that it will not harm something there
[One (M8) General] redpoint73:
My instinct would be

not

to do that. Seems like too small of a space to properly clean with alcholol, without it getting inside the phone and potentially harming something.
