the guy who advised me was called Vi553r I have sent him a pm asking if he wouldn't mind coming into the thread and link the file and instructions if he doesn't mind and I told him that you would like to credit him I don't have a source as such as I spoke to him via pm so hopefully he'll help i think he will otherwise I will post the script and instructions tomorrow but credit should go to vi553r unless he states otherwise

I can't seem to find the instructions but I did post them here when I had the issue I believe if you can confirm this maybe you could repost them if not I'll find them I think it was on a thread I thought I read them in a pm sorry
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Never mind sir, they're in post 195 on page 20, linked back to to them on the prev page. Thought you had a source though I could go back to bit really don't worry it's just some binary and it's command parameters. I can as well search Google for the documentation of it. Really don't worry, you've helped enough.

Thanks I was looking through multiple threads last night and I can't seem to find the instructions lol
[One (M8) Android Development] smeejaytee:
Hi just looked at my posts on page 20 asked that is the information I was given so I can stop trying to find it now it's been frustrating me lol
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Just a brief note:

Dees_Troy apparently did not activate the patch for the missing OS line bug in TWRP. Plus, the announced MTP feature also doesn't work as expected.

If you want that fixed you gotta use captain_throwback's unofficial variant for the time being. (It is build from the official tree and is error free as much as can be and fully compatible with backups from the official one because its basically identical anyway. Just a few additions and device specific fixes here and there, so there is reall NO reason not to use it).

Dees_Troy said on IRC he has no M8 so thats why. I assume because he can't test it.
[One (M8) Android Development] old.splatterhand:
Lol, so he was not able to find experienced users for testing!?!

But Captain's build is working fine, i can recommend it.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
The patch is there in the first place because I tested it. But [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] has to update his BoardConfig.mk to include the build flag and corresponding offset (2048) so that OS version doesn't get wiped out. I've also been trying to get him to fork the CM kernel source so the official M8 builds can be consolidated like mine is. But there isn't much response since he doesn't have the device.
[One (M8) Android Development] old.splatterhand:
I can understand that one person can handle so much devices, no question.

Maybe he should think about maintainers, like CM did in the past.

But that don't belong to this thread.
[One (M8) Android Development] c5satellite2:
Thank you for fixing the OS version issue.

Consolidation would be nice, but getting your fix for OS version into official twrp should not take this long. Regardless of dees_troy having an m8 or not. We have tested your fix, and it indeed does fix the issue. Very disappointing that he would update twrp(and release yet another broken one) and not choose to include a tested fix for something that is obviously broken. You identified what was wrong, corrected the issue, had others test, and the problem is resolved. That should be more than adequate to bring him up to speed and have this rolled into the official build. Months have gone by and this is still broken. Ponderous to say the least.

Once again, thanks for hooking us up, you rock!

Also, I have a feeling that the os issue with official twrp is more than cosmetic and could lead to other issues when flashing. I have personally witnessed 2 bricks flashing firmware on m8 that both had official twrp. Can't be certain, but I have never had a brick prior to this, and I have flashed well over a hundred firmwares on HTC devices dating back to the 8125 wizard. Could be coincidence, could be related.
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
I've rooted,I'm S-Off...currently running AOKP... I have not changed any RUUs. I tried using one the RUUs from skulls thread. Renamed it 0P6BIMG. I rebooted into bootloader. It just said fastboot ac ...it didn't flash anything...Do I have to do anything with superCID as well
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
First, it's not a RUU. International M8 doesn't have any RUU released or leaked. It's FW (firmware).

Second, you come here asking for help, while doing it different way and against OP's recommendations.

Oh... And BTW, you should choose HBOOT to get out of FASTBOOT mode for the flashing process to begin.
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
Major Screw up

Using the android tasker kit....i selected option 16, which is superCID 111111....I then found 2.22.5xx.3 (or something like that in one of the trheads on this site)....i threw it in the /com folder and used the gui program ( it was a success)....i hadnt flashed a rom beforehand, so when I booted i was running AOKP....Baseband does not show in settings and the phone acts like it doesnt have a radio at all (there is no signal, i cant manually add apns, nor can i turn on wifi). Then i booted into recovery, and it started acting. I cant clean cache or anything you would normally do before you flash a new rom.i flashed sinless and ever since then it's been in a constant loop Ive treid going to the HTCdev website to download a RUU but of course that's screwing up to....I'm downloading 2.23.502.3 from htcdev.com nope fully this will fix the problem. If I can even get the phone to respond. I try getting into recovery and a fully charged battery appears.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

Disregard all of this....now my phone works, and I have no idea HOW...I suppose it took time to calibrate (?)....btw I meant 2.22.405.x (what ever insertcoin uses). I have signal and wifi works...I apologize for being a big dummy.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
I'd call that coincidence and searching for reasons. Very unlikely there's any connection at all unless firmware was flashed using dd within recovery, which then again isn't directly affected by the missing os line though. However you look at it, that idea doesn't hold I guess.

mobile post
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
I'd think a responsible dev would only hand out builds of something he's had running on his own device first. Call it good practice.

Paired with an overwhelming load of devices that want to run TWRP and send users and devs bug Dees_Troy for updates, I kind of think I understand the inertia...

Everyone: I'm supporting the use of captain_throwback's build simply because he's willing to work on TWRP device specific and because I recognize the overload team win faces. I have a lot of sympathy for them guys. It's very good CT is willing to help us out though. Deserves some applause.
[One (M8) Android Development] c5satellite2:
By the same logic, how does Dees_troy release an official build for m8 if he doesn't even have one?

Thanks again to CT for providing us with a proper TWRP.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Yah. My logic is flawed. As usual. Dunno I'd just rather not continue this here because who knows what team win is thinking? Their business. I tried to find a reasonable answer but it's not good enough so why bother. I just know they've got a ton of crap to look after.

Hello brother

thanks for the Guide

im in a situation where after much exhaustion i managed to custom recovery my DUAL SIM htc one (bought in middle east), got root, and then worked on installing a custom ROM only to find out that nobody bothered doing one for it... suck!!:eek:

after that i just did an S-OFF and SuperCID 11111111

now stuck trying to get it back to stock software

trying to flash RUU i got from HTV DEV, the only RUU with dual sim support (euro version))-- attempted several time

i keep getting error 24: parsing android-info failed

read your post amongst other about changing the android-info.txt and then proceeding with the RUU flash

Now: 1- to my understanding, that issue is resolved with superCID , although it doesnt seem to be so in my case

2- i unzipped the RUU, and still cant find the damn file to change it and then zip the file again... or am i going about changing android-info.txt the wrong way?

unless im doing the whole things wrong...

plz lemme know, im really stuck

appreciate all the help!!
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
The RUU is carrying an encrypted ROM.zip. You can't find it in there because it's encrypted and opens only partially. Upload the RUU and I'll try to have it decrypted. Error parsing android-info usually means it's broken or missing though.

It wouldn't be the first time HTC uploads a broken RUU. They do it all the time, then pull it when people complain and forget to upload a fixed one. Pain in ghee A.

[EDIT]

Sorry I can't see a dual SIM RUU on HTC dev - are you trying to flash the kernel source? Please link me to any RUU you got.
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:

[One (M8) Android Development] Behold_this:
The real problem is this user is trying to flash kernel source to their phone. They obviously don't know what an RUU really is. The only file available for download on htcdev.com for the HTC One m8 dual sim is kernel source for 1.45.401.12
[One (M8) Android Development] baddoor:
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads is where i got my RUU from

there's only ONE RUU for the HTC One m8 DUAL SIM version

the stock recovery i used was on forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

the URL for the stock recovery is: http://d-h.st/P1H

filename is stock-recovery-DUAL-SIM1.45.401.12-recovery.img
[One (M8) Android Development] Behold_this:
As I said in my post above that is not an RUU! That is kernel source. Good luck flashing that.

This dual Sim has been a nightmare... I wanna flash stock software back and sell it, been nothing but a headache for me!

Anyone can point me to where I can find the dual Sim RUU since it's not so easy to find?

back to stock ROM, unlocked, root, s-off, and superCID.

time to sell this damn dual SIM and get a single SIM and get back to action!

[One (M8) Android Development] Black-FR:
You got a device from T-Mobile Germany.

That means you got the international version of the m8.

If you want to use arhd 9.1, then you need to update your firmware, to the leaked 2.12.401.3.

You could download the firmware from here:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358556103

And the easiest way to flash the firmware, would be via fastboot, while you are in the ruu mode.

The flash instruction should be in the first post.

[EDIT]

Added 1.54.401.5 NoWipe packages with Kernel, Recovery, System, Data and Splash screen removed. Will add the next packages during the next week. This package has been tested and works well.
[One (M8) Android Development] baribbi:
thanks, but where i can see actually firmware?

bye
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Boot to boatloader. If the last firmware zip you flashed was composed with the correct android-info.txt, the boatloader will tell you if you run "fastboot getvar all".

It should list your firmware version as "mainver".

This will be correct if the conditions outlined above will be true. I take it you flashed the 2.12 firmware from Llabtoofer? If so, the info will be correct - his zip has a correct info file.

The phone I got was a good will replacement of a defunct OneS which couldn't be repaired after three attempts. It just happened to be out of the Seattle stock they probably keep there so it came S-OFF and with a weird regional id.

[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Use my FUU. It's 401 so quite ok for Europe. That's what HTC sends us.

The FUU is the RUU without system. It will fully update your phone. You only need to flash a custom recovery and then copy over a ROM with adb and then flash that.

mobile post... lazy typing...
[One (M8) Android Development] topjohnwu:
Sorry for bothering, is there a way to transform a ruu into fuu? The ruu I got only contains dzdata images, and also the zip file is encrypted. Can I extract the firmware related files from the super large dzdata img?
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
FUU = RUU - System.img (very very easy, absolutely no magic here!)

Open up ROM.zip with 7zip.

Delete System.img and everything else you don't want to flash (like boot, recovery, splash screen for example)

Save zip. Done.

Problem: encryption.

HTC has changed their key in 2013. New ROM.zips contain 5 sub-zip's with split system.img's.

Now the Top-level zip needs to be decrypted, then the 5 sub-level zips. Then the android-info.txt needs to be modified, then the System.img parts need to be merged into 1 System image (if you want to keep that. If not, just delete the parts).

The merging of the parts is actually possible with windows build-in command-line tools, i never knew and was surprised when i first read that over in a sprint thread where someone pointed that out. The merge command is:

copy /b system_1.img + system_2.img + system_3.img + system_4.img + system_5.img system.img

Which is just the normal windows copy command.

i am not getting access to the decryption method. RUUveal does not support the new key anymore and i only know one person who can still decrypt the images. This person does NOT want to provide ANY details on how he does it whatsoever, so that the encryption stays intact and HTC does not need to change it again. This is basically a good thing, but its very annoying.

If you REALLY need that thing decrypted, i can ask if this person does it for you, but he's very busy and hard to get hold of. So, if you don't absolutely need it, don't ask.

The reason you only see those big DZDATA files in your ROM.zip is because the other files don't appear. If you check the size of the dzdata, sum them up, you will notice there is still about 1GB missing...
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Forgot to answer this part: the dump script cannot pull /data because it needs to drop the dumped partition images on /data temporarily. Also, it doesn't make sense to dump the /data partition at all.

You could rewrite the dump script tho to dump to an external SDCard and then have it dump /data to your ext_sd
[One (M8) Android Development] n1234d:
So this is the partition that corresponds to dzdata?

Edit: got it, it is..

That's a nice find. The RUU zip's too, they're mostly old stuff though. But good to have, will see if I can get to them. That forum wants real world data registration and payment. Pretty wrong. Not liking them making money off of HTC's (and even our) work.

I'll for sure ask them to remove the ViperOne dump.

Hi guys,

I have a couple noob questions, please help me out !!!

This is my phone info:

version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000

version-baseband: 1.15.2133156.UA03_2G :confused:

product: m8_ul_ca

1.54.401.10

2.12.401.3

2.22.401.4

2.22.401.5

I'm running ViperOne M8 2.4.0, everything is fine BUT one weird problem

My phone will turn off on stand by mode if the battery runs below ~ 65%

In order to keep it on, I have to either keep it plug in or run music player in the background.

Thing that I tried:

Changed the internal battery (OEM) already.

Re-flashed ROM (clean).

Still NO LUCK :(:crying::eek:

Does anyone have the same problem ?

Hi,

i see the warning in the first post "It might be your cable, your USB ports (don’t use hubs! Always direct-mainboard connections), it might be USB 3.0 which is not good yet"

i only have usb 3.0 ports on my laptop (asus g750), is this warning still valid?

anyone know why the usb 3.0 ports are not good, i have windows 8 and 7 (and also linux mint) to choose from but

i have always used windows 7 for any flashing in the past and assume that will be more reliable still.

better still, anyone used these methods with only usb 3.0.
