[One (M8) Android Development] BIGWORM:
A couple of questions:

I'm new to S-Off (big ups to Sunshine team), and I'm on T-Mobile. Am I able to upgrade my FW? My bootloader says my OS is blank, but I'm running the latest SkyDragon ROM, which I believe it based on 2.22. What's the benefit of changing my CID, as well?
[One (M8) Android Development] ggreg:
I have the same problem. After hboot the message is :

SD Checking...

Not gift file...

Loading [0P6BDIAG.zip]

No image !

Loading...[0P6BDIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image !

Loading... [0P6BIMG.zip]

and, after this :

Press <POWER> to reboot
[One (M8) Android Development] 3pcssuits:
This method worked fantastically with no hitches,

added my cid and mid, removed the stock recovery and profit. Good stuff.
[One (M8) Android Development] tibere86:
Count me as another happy flasher. Downloaded zip, added Super CID, and flashed. No issues. Many thanks again.
[One (M8) Android Development] cheemacool:
Same prob here, used couple sd cards .. giving me same error.. btw i have cid Telus001 ,canadian m8 with s-on and unlocked bootloader nd twrp 2.7.0.1
[One (M8) Android Development] Behold_this:
You cannot flash modified firmware packages while s-on. They must be untouched and maintain HTC's signature. That's most likely your problem.
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
Your running twrp right? I believe that is the reason that your os is blank. After you flash firmware or a ruu and then boot into twrp it will cause that to happen. It is a known bug around xda. On the twrp thread someone made a version of twrp with a fix for that but that version did not work for me. As for flashing yes you can flash firmware. Changing your cid to supercid (11111111) will let you flash firmware without ever having to worry about changing your cid in the android-info.txt. When the bootloader goes to flash firmware it checks for 2 values that are device specific. 1. Is your mid (model id) 2. Is your cid (carrier id) You need to have both of these values correct in the android-info.txt if you are s-on. If s-off and supercid, firmware will flash so make sure whatever you are flashing is correct. If s-on and you don't have the correct values in the android-info.txt you will just get a error and it will not flash so you have nothing to worry about.

S-OFF ONLY! How to get supercid

1. Have adb and fastboot set up. There are guides all over xda and google

2. Connect phone to PC and open terminal

3. Type "adb devices" to make sure phone is connected to PC

4. Type "adb reboot bootloader"

5. Once in fastboot type "fastboot devices" to make sure fastboot sees your device

6. Type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

7. Once in black screen that says HTC you are in ruu mode

8. Type "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

9. After a successful cid overwrite type "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

10. Once in bootloader you will see that your cid says 11111111

11. Profit

Got "ModelID incorrect " with 3.28.401.3
[One (M8) Android Development] Billchen0014:
the firmware wiped my rom and recovery, so people just be aware that you need to have roms and recoveries to flash, even though this method doesn't require a pc, just have one nearby and ready with adb saved me so much time getting the update.zip off the sdcard and flash my rom back.

happy friday!
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
You must have chose a firmware file that is suppose to do that because the new 3.28.xxxx has no dzdata files in it, therefore wont and does not wipe any data. I have tested this before I released it.

Phone bricked?

I attempted to flash 3.28.401.6-Firmware-noredtext.zip today. After a lot of text and stuffs, my phone restarted. However, now it cannot start up.

After the white HTC screen, screen just goes black. Pressing power does nothing. However, when pressing Volume Up, the phone vibrates twice.

I have tried Power + Volume Up to restart and Power + Volume Down to get to Hboot but no luck.

Please help me... :crying::crying:

Another update, even though my phone is pit black, adb still recognizes, so I have used adb to boot recovery. Will try to reflash ROM and see what happens. There is still some lights after all :)
[One (M8) Android Development] makmart74:
First post... Just bought the Att M8 yesterday and so far i'm unlocked, rooted and s-off. Currently on stock rom and firmware (1.58.502.1). Can I jump from curent firmware to 3.28.401.6 or should I flash 2.22.1540.3 first before flashing 3.28? Also should I be super cid before flashing anything? Thanks

Read through the whole post. Process was too easy. Running Viper on 3.28, unlocked, rooted, s-off via Firewater ( not Sunshine), supercid'd with no hiccups
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
If you flashed the firmware successfully you definitely have to reflash your Rom and also better a newer Rom since the new firmware base
[One (M8) Android Development] BIGWORM:
I flashed the latest firmware update with red text removed in the OP last night on my TMO M8 with no issues, in case anyone was wondering. Flashed, while on multi-ROM running SkyDragon v17 with no problems.

[One (M8) Android Development] razen_kain:
same here. What do i change it to?
[One (M8) Android Development] .xxx.:
One thing I have noticed after flashing latest wwe firmware is that the device is smoother than ever. Signal reception for me was pretty bad in 2.xx which seems to be pretty stable now.
[One (M8) Android Development] .xxx.:
Yeah. Thanks, man. I flashed with everything intact.
[One (M8) Android Development] darcus:
Unbelievably easy process!

Your writeup was clear and concise.

Did just the job.

Works flawlessly on my HTC One M8 WWE on MultiRom v28 with InsertCoin 4.1.1 (for now!)

Not sure if it's a placebo effect but the phone is definitely smoother.

Thank you muchly!
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
Yeah I don't know any other oem that works with carriers so well to produce positive effects for our phones
[One (M8) Android Development] razen_kain:
I GOT IT! Here's what I did. Look in the FW zip for the file android info.text. At the top you see modelid 0P6B10000. Its looking for this mid so i had top figure out what mine was. Connect through adb devices, bo0otloader, you know the drill then type "fastboot getvar all" look through there until you find your mid. Mine was right after platform. NOTE this mid. Boot back up. Use root exploer (or some equivalent), unzip the FW.zip find that android info.txt file and edit the mid number its looking for to the one you just found. Make sure that if it creates an original androidinfo.txt.bak file to delete it(IDK if thats necessary but im not taking the chance). Now select ALL the files and zip them back up. MID should pass

In my case at this point the CID did not pass so I just followed the OP's instructions to switch to superCID and the update worked flawlessly. Feel free to PM me if you need to. Ill be playing with my for a while now.
[One (M8) Android Development] JayRolla:
So I found my MID, updated the text file and still same issue. I dont know what the problem is. I will keep trying some stuff.
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
Have you superCID'd ?
[One (M8) Android Development] razen_kain:
Did you confirm that the mid was changed in the new zip file after you zipped it back up? You have to make sure it saves the edit. Root explorer tried like hell to NOT let you change things. And even when you do,it creates a new edited version and takes the original file and adds a .bak extension which you then have to remove from the list before you zip it back up.

Yes, so long as you flash the appropriate FW for your phone from this thread.

They're modified (the FW zips) and don't wipe your ROM.

I flashed the GSM 'no-red-text' FW zip over 3 to 6 and all is well.

Be sure to nandroid backup first, then flash the FW. In the unlikely event that something may go wrong, at least you can restore your backup and not have to set up from scratch again.

I found a HTC AT&T RUU on the HTCdev website (1.12.502.18).....I believe I might of either bricked or soft bricked this darn thing.....I have no idea how to use the download I get from HTC dev because my recovery will not wipe anything......i keep getting unable to mount cache and dalvik....I created a thread on both the HTC M8 and AT&T Q&A threads, and I know this isnt the right thread, but skull you've helped me in the past.....Ive spent the last 5 hours trying to fix this and my patience is dying....If I flash this RUU will it wipe my root and s-on my device where I have to restart everything....
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
It will wipe your device but your phone will remain s-off. First try to just wipe cache in recovery. Don't try to wipe cache & dalvik at the same time. It should wipe and mount cache. Then you will be able to wipe cache & dalvik at the same time. Just fyi- a phone is bricked when it won't turn on and soft-bricked when it is bootlooping...
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
I appreciate you taking some patience with me because im sure someone would of said well did you search....i spent 4 or more hours trying to find answers, and each time I came up short....I am not even sure what caused the problem to begin with....I flashboot'ed the newest firmware by naming it 0P6BIMG, downloaded MaximusHD and the OTA manual update package...I booted into recovery and started getting those red error messages. I flashed MaxiumusHD without a full wipe and got stuck on the HTC white screen.....I had to revert back to 2.22.401.5, fastboot flash a different recovery b/c the one's i had used both from cpt throwback kept booting automatically into that white screen.....
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
My phone's in working order, just had to get a new recovery after FW fastboot'in 2.22.501.4....seems like everytime I flash a firmware package I have to flash a new recovery as well just to keep those unable to mount errors in TWRP....Im thinking about once again upgrading to 3.28.xxx.6, so I can flash MaximusHD....
[One (M8) Android Development] walle4893:
What is the size of the official 3.28 firmware package? I downloaded one from this thread and it's about 30mb give or take, worked flawlessly.

But on ARHD firmware site, its package is 50mb. So just curious what's the different? (assuming I'm looking at the 2 same fw).

http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/401/
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
The stock boot.img and recovery.img are removed because people want to keep their custom kernel and recovery and boot=16 MB and recovery=11-12 MB so that's where you get the drop in 20 or so MB's

Can i flash the 3.28.401.6 FW directly on my existing 2.22.401.5 FW?
[One (M8) Android Development] TheKnux:
Yes. Just make sure you take your SD card out, delete the firmware update, reboot into fastboot, reinstall TWRP, then reflash your rom. At least that's what I had to do cause my phone booted up (meaning I could receive calls and stuff) but it was still stuck on the splash screen forever.
[One (M8) Android Development] mathrania:
Anyway to flash twrp via mobile... Bcoz i don't have access to my laptop...
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:

[One (M8) Android Development] mathrania:
Thanks for the reply. Also the FW you have posted, would work for GSM CID HTC_J15?
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
NP ;) and yes would work for you. If you want to check for yourself in the future, just tap on the firmware.zip in a root explorer app and you will see the android-info.txt, inside that txt file lists all the different cids that are already included and your Cid HTC__J15 is listed in there so your good. If it wasn't listed you would just add your Cid to the list, rezip it and save the file and you would be good to go. Also you could just set your phone to have supercid which is explained in the OP if your s-off and you obviously are if your flashing custom fw
[One (M8) Android Development] mathrania:
Bugging you again..... I will flash your firmware... Thats ok... But someone said, i will need to flash recovery again.... And he told me to use flashify app if i dont have Laptop... But, my question is... If my phone doesn't bootup, how would i flash recovery without laptop?
