Not possible between CDMA (Sprint, Verizon) and GSM. See post 1. This thread isn't meant for CDMA devices, simply because it's not possible to convert just like that. Sorry.

[EDIT]

but don't you worry, CDMA is going away soon anyway. That mess will be over soon. It's been a pain ever since someone thought it's a good idea to introduce two incompatible, yet competing technologies for wireless transmissions. As far as I'm informed, Sprint is already working on becoming LTE only.
[One (M8) Android Development] dhrjbhtt0:
Thanx a lot man, you saved me.

I believe I wud have bricked my device that way, thanks again:)

And yeah, this incompatibility really sucks.
[One (M8) Android Development] redpoint73:
If it installed, it might have affected the radio (NO SERVICE). Flashing the proper Sprint radio usually fixes this. But we have seen some permanent radio bricks, as well.

If you saw it stated that way, it's simply incorrect, without stating the exceptions (CDMA phone such as Sprint, Verizon; dual SIM M8, M8s).

cant let this one slide :

i paid "those sunshine guys" (hats off to [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] & [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]) and would again in a heartbeat. the extra freedom ; while my m8 was alive , was worth every penny.:good:

straight up honest , i dont have those skills and am too lazy to learn.

if you knew , or i knew for that matter , what "those sunshine guys" contribute freely from their own knowledge and time ; we'd probably be sending them a check every week. AND that goes for all other devs/contributors as well.

and i think you have it backwards , not : hacking means open source ; but open source means hacking.

i think my rant is done....... if i think of more i'll add it later :)

Seems as you didn't read page 1.

Coz then you would know, that s-off is needed, if you want to use any file of the thread here.

I guess you should search in general forum, for a back to stock thread.

There you might find the correct RUU to and instructions how to flash it.
[One (M8) Android Development] jcase:
Well your opinion on hacking and open source is wrong, they have nothing to do with each other. As far as sharing knowledge, I'm pretty sure I share more than most have on the topic of android exploitation. Positive I have more than you.

Start a thread here asking how to update your phone.

Provide the results of fastboot getvar all in that thread. Edit out your serial# and IMEI before you post it.

I'll check for your post and help you out there. It's off topic in this thread.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Thanks [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] for helping out.

Peace, folks.

Some misunderstanding. Easily cleared up.

SunShine Team are the most fabulous and most helpful guys XDA has on offer, so that's that from my side.

[MENTION=8735356]xtreme86[/MENTION] you'll get the hang of it eventually. I mean you'll understand how things work here in this phone modifying world, eventually. You'll obviously also need a bit of a thick skin when dealing with XDA folks :D - that certain attitude towards certain contributors won't win you many friends.

But honestly, the most interesting bit in that convo was following the emotional back-and-forth between people, typical for internet forums. So glad to have my distance to all of this these days...

Keep it polite and be nice to each other (said the Troll to the newbie). :laugh:

I don't think you can change product. I don't remember though. The M8 was a long time ago. You can change the MID though, but I don't know why you would want to. Usually you would only do this to get OTA updates from a specific carrier, but the M8 is way past EOL.

Modified Red Text Removal hboots

Hey guys,

you know me, i can't resist messing around myself. I did my own modified hboot now and find it still working awesome. Since the stakes are high with the M8, i am still not going to publish modified hboots but i herewith announce, that i am willing to modify hboots upon request.

I will just do them all (well from the bases i have online here) and drop them on a link sheet similar to the other one but hand out the links to only those who can tell me how to flash that hboot. Adding a bit of control on the Noob Levels.

Basically, it's still a safe process as long as the dangers are known.

With this move i am trying to avoid people randomly flashing hboots into firmware of different generations. When handing out mods, i will request that you choose a hboot of the same generation of your firmware and i will ask you to always make sure you have a modified hboot of the same generation as the rest of your firmware.

plus, i want you to tell me how to flash a hboot. I want that you know exactly what you do.

Hboot flashing rules, quickly drawn from my own way of doing it:

1: Hboot is from the same firmware package

2: Before upgrading firmware, Hboot is being flashed back to a stock copy.

3: Hboot is ONLY flashed in RUUmode - NO DD!

4: S-ON is not being set while a modified hboot is installed!
[One (M8) Android Development] Galaen:
Dumb question #1: I'm guessing this should be handled by PM to avoid people copying our answers to get their links, correct?

[One (M8) Android Development] Behold_this:
Sunshine is not an app that you buy on the Play Store. It's an application you download and run from a PC. If you have paypal in Morocco you are in business, or even a credit card.

[One (M8) Android Development] migascalp:
Can be here. It all depends on your cid.

CID is region/operator code. ( See [Info]HTC One S CID's ) You can find it with this command:

fastboot getvar cidnum

[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
How do you know that is a signed package? To me it looks like just any package. And there is no info on what previous firmware it can update according to HTC. It does not have all images, so its not a RUU/FUU and it might cause the much discussed incompatibilities.

I very much suggest when discussing stuff on my thread to use my packages and my instructions, else i see myself unable to help.

I repeat myself: this thread is designed to deliver full firmware packages that should ensure a smooth upgrade without any bricks or other incompatibility problems due to the simple fact that i stick to full packages HTC delivers or i recreate full packages from OTA's and previous bases, because i know how to, hence keeping you guys reasonably safe. The only difference to HTC packages is that my zips are not signed anymore (RUU's are always encrypted and to get to their complete firmware, a decryption has to be done, which breaks the signature).

So, linking an undocumented firmware package, where we do not know the origin and have no info on what it contains and what not means that I either need to take it apart, compare, fix missing stuff in or whatnot; Or i just say, hey, ok, not my problem if he flashes an OTA Firmware that was meant to update base 1.54 but he happens to be on base 1.29 and Oh gosh! Now he bricked cuz the new hboot couldn't cope with some older partitions that were missed in the update.

Happened. Just a few months ago. Several times.

You guys, if you want to be helpful, i DO appreciate that a LOT, but PLEASE think and understand what i am trying to do here.

No more flash suggestions of packages we have no good info about. Thank you.
[One (M8) Android Development] migascalp:
I know because I share this file. I extract from ota I received.

Zip signed can not be altered without prior extraction. while a zip unsigned modified from 7zip without extraction.

You is not the only one who play with firmwares and ruu. ;)

Otherwise, link removed. Sorry for "polluting" your thread.
[One (M8) Android Development] tyfoxx:
Hi All I am planning to upgrade my firmware from 1.54 to 2.22 .... anthing i should watch for?
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
No, if you choose to go with my FUU or ZIP you can use the FullWipe to do a proper update and then flash back your bits and pieces like Recovery, ROM, Kernel, Splashscreen and whatnot.

If you are looking for someone else's Firmware package ensure that it is meant as an update to your current base. E.g the one [MENTION=333497]migascalp[/MENTION] linked earlier, if he pulled it from his own OTA, it will definitely be updating your phone just about OK.

____________________________________________

Migascalp, no worries man, take it easy, think it would suffice to note down where you got the firmware from, what you did with it and for which base it was meant as update. So people can figure.

I just don't want undocumented stuff here. Doesn't mean i don't want any at all. Sorry

Is there any firmware for the Verizon variant s-off yet, or anything I can use on my Verizon?
[One (M8) Android Development] Behold_this:
Currently this thread only hosts GSM firmware (as outlined in the OP). Verizon is technically a CDMA device and thus does not fall into that category. However, I believe there may be some packages available in the Verizon M8 sub forum.

**edit

Here's a custom RUU, with firmware, posted in your forum:

Keep in mind, however, this is not for 4.4.3 as Verizon has not released that update yet (and going by their track record, are nowhere close to releasing it lol).

Hello and thank you for everything.

I have a question to ask:

In my Virtual Community as a whole, I have many friends with m8, but only me and one other person happens a strange thing that I do not know if it was due to the firmware.

Installing rom mod with 4.4.3, the roaming autoattiva even though it is disabled and this is not good in Italy with telephone companies such as H3G.

But if I switch to stock 4.4.3 do not have this problem.

My hboot is 3.18.

Do you have advice?

What model do you have if you run fastboot getvar all? This firmware claimed to be for the m8_ul_ca, but I think it should work on m8_ul also. I flashed my m8_ul with the firmware from the renovate rom thread.

Are you sure you're in RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU) and not in normal fastboot mode? Have you tried to download the file again if it is corrupt? Are you sure you have a supported phone model and cid?

But when looking again it looks like you just might have typed it wrong. Maybe you misspelled the filename the first time? And the second time you missed zip. That is after "fastboot oem rebootRUU" you should type "fastboot flash zip yourfile.zip" (twice if you get error 90 the first time).

Yes, I was in ruu mode, I did download the file several times and renamed them as well, I skipped zip while typing intentionally just to try after trying with zip and getting the cannot open error several times, I am supercid, not sure how to check if my phone model is supported.

These firmwares only work on gsm phones, so if your on Verizon or sprint I suppose you're out of luck since I don't suppose they've released 4.4.3 firmwares yet.

My Swedish phone was model: 0P6B10000 and product: m8_ul (fastboot getvar all) and for me the firmware files from here worked: http://renovate-themes.de/index.php?s=firmware. But I suppose the ones in this thread should also work at least if you have the same model as mentioned above.

Not sure if your Mac is the issue, I'm a Windows guy myself. But I don't have HTC sync installed and I think I read somewhere that your supposed to install it for the drivers, but then remove the app afterwards. Could be worth a try if all else fails...

Hi All,

PLEASE HELP :)

I have successfully flashed using the FUU and then the ROM using Fastboot (Thanks for the files, great help)

The software version in Fastboot is now showing as OS 2.22.401.4

The software version on the phone in Software Information is showing as 1.54.161.10 <<< This can't be right??

So not sure why the versions dont match, but the main issue is WIRELESS.

Since updating I cannot enable my wireless, its stuck at OFF, Bluetooth, 3G etc.. are all fine.

When I try to enable it greys out then reverts to off again, has anyone seen this or now what might be wrong????

Thanks in advance for any help.

The low level firmware version aka OS version you see in hboot is a different thing from the ROM software version. They are not the same thing, although they can version number match sometimes. They often don't match when you install custom ROMs.
