All you need to do is flash the latest 4.4.4 firmware for your device. This will enable you to flash sense aosp roms to your heart content. No need to flash anything in between just go to latest for your device. Do not use the gpe o one for what you want.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Flash the latest 4.4.4 firmware for your device that's it. Unless you want to stay stock then flash the RUU firmware combo
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
So if I'm not mistaken, this would be the zip I need to accomplish what I want right?
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
Yes, that would be the correct one for 4.4.4 sense and aosp
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
Ok. I did super CID, ran the zip and now I'm looking at

HBOOT 3.19.0.0000

Radio 1.22.21331147A1.29G

Open DSP -V46.2.2 00564 -M8974_ FO. 0811

OS-

OS p art originally changed from 1.54 to 3.28.401.9 but the rebooted bootloader and us no blank. Is that normal?
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
If your recovery is outdated, the OS will be blank. Update to TWRP 2.0.8.3. There is v2.1.0.0 out, but it causes issues for some users. 2.8.0.3 is solid though.
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
Your bootloader should look something like this obviously with some updated information though..
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
Ok I just got around to taking a picture of after flashing firmware, looks like OS wasn't showing even before but during the update (in red) and even after It dud change to 3.28.40.9
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
It isn't showing OS because your recovery is outdated. Common issue, easy fix. Update TWRP.

I can tell from your hboot that your firmware in fact did not update. 3.16 = 4.4.2
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
Nice I see! Ok so I will update recovery.... The first pic is before firmware update second is after with HBOOT 3.19 is that 4.4.4?
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
Yes it is 4.4.4. I didn't look at both pics. Short attention span plus trying to smoke a joint. ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
Lol i get ya, gotta focus on the important task at hand! But ok, updated recovery and looks like firmware flashed successfully. Thank you sirs skullz n str also
[One (M8) Android Development] holmes901:
Needing a little help. Picked up a phone from a friend and he needed fixing on it. He flashed the L firmware without converting first and then in an effort to fix it himself (gotta love friends) he flashed back to the 3.28 firnware now he is getting the phone screen with the red warning icon and seeing as its new to me I was wondering if anyone out there would know to help him get it back up and running? He isnt that tech savvy minus just flashing roms here and there (I rooted his phone for him) But this he tried on his own.
[One (M8) Android Development] jball:
When it boots to that red triangle that is your stock recovery so just hold

volume-up and power to see the stock recovery options.hit reboot

If anything flash twrp after renaming it to recovery.img and type this command in fastboot

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
[One (M8) Android Development] -juanito-:
Will you add latest L firmware ?
[One (M8) Android Development] myheroduane:
Its on skydragons page.
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
OP updated with latest 3.11.1700.5 gpe firmware.zip
[One (M8) Android Development] menbaosusu:
What is the difference of your firmware of 3.28.401.7 that is 29 mb compared to ARHD firmware version which is 50 mb? Is there certain parts in the fw that are removed ?
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
Open up both zips and compare them to each other
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
[MENTION=4542027]skulldreamz[/MENTION] I've got a weird question for you. I'm not asking for myself, but for someone else.

Can you flash the firmware if your bootloader is locked, but you are S Off and superCID?
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
Yeah
[One (M8) Android Development] angadreme:
Hi,

I've followed your advice...unfortunately, the phone would still not pass the HTC logo....cannot do anything else than getting this damn red triangle. Please, someone help me out if you can :(:(:( I tried so many things that I'm running out of ideas now.
[One (M8) Android Development] myheroduane:
If your s off download the European ruu from the general section and flash that. Place it on the root of SD card and rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and reboot to boot loader. Make sure your mid and cid match if not change them or change the android.txt file to your info.
[One (M8) Android Development] jball:
Add a zero in front of the P
[One (M8) Android Development] angadreme:
Thanks so much for your help.

As I'm super CID with the latest EU FW, on 4.4.4 (3.28.401.9), the thing is I'm a bit lost so as to what I could modify else...now :confused:

Not pretty sure where to find the RUU for EU in the general section as there are so many versions...and the phone seems perfectly fine, except this not rebooting thing, of course
[One (M8) Android Development] Zorachus:
I've never updated firmware before. Is that just like a new modem / radio update ? Flash the correct one for your carrier in Recovery and all good ? Isn't there a thread somewhere for the One M8, on how to flash to the latest firmware ? I thought some guy made a thread who's on ATT like me, that had the specific newest files to flash ?
[One (M8) Android Development] menbaosusu:
Thanks, I successfully flashed from 1.54.401.X to 3.28.401.9 from your zip with no problem. :D
[One (M8) Android Development] myheroduane:
Typo lol thanx dude.
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
You should probably edit your post now. Just sayin....
[One (M8) Android Development] gimpchop:
Hi can I update straight from 3.16 to the latest firmware if so what firmware do I need to download . Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] Nilsonf:
Can you change this zip so it can work with this method. I changed the name and when I did this method it said wrong zip in hboot

Done thanks dude.
[One (M8) Android Development] Jwtiyar:
after doing going back to sense steps and flashing ROM , the ROM is not boot and will go to recovery

also i cant format internal storage from twrp because it show that its not mounted , and i flashed 3.28 firmware .

any help?
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
In twrp format data/media by typing yes. You will lose everything on your internal storage but it will mount it. Then adb sideload a rom.zip

Make sure to reboot recovery back into recovery after you type yes
[One (M8) Android Development] knights.JayTana:
What firmware does "L" requires? Im on 3.28.709.6
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
3.11.1700.2 and up
[One (M8) Android Development] knights.JayTana:
I dont know if this is the right thread to ask. So, since im on 3.28, means i can flash the 5.0.1 safely? Im on my second M8 now and Sunshine is still not working. Im S-on, rooted with TWRP and on 4.4.4 sense ROM. Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] Jwtiyar:
thanks

but the problem is that it will not format it show that could not be mounted.
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
When your in twrp and you go to wipe, and then you have 2 buttons, on the left its advanced wipe and on the right its format, and you go into the right button and it asks you to type yes to format, and you type yes and hit enter what is the exact error? It sounds like you need to flash the stock recovery and re-format the internal storage by doing a factory reset. Or have you tried to flash a ruu?
[One (M8) Android Development] knights.JayTana:
Just want to report that the rooted 5.0.1 ROM of [MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] run smoothly on Sense 3.28.709.6 FW. No lag so far, data/wifi/camera working perfectly. Im still on my 3rd hour with it. Hope this help.

Update: i spoke too soon. Wifi dropped randomly after an hour of use.
[One (M8) Android Development] Jwtiyar:
so sorry for late i was not at home :( .

thank you man.

now every thing is ok , do i need flash 3.28 firmware again ? or 1.54 is ok ?
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
Ok... So a few days I was in here asking about updating my FW to the latest sense. I did mention that I was probably not going to be flashing much GPE, but being that most CM based and AOSP ROMs still have serious bugs (specially the sound bug which I heard can damage speakers) i decided to try GPE. If I got it right, I must run that RUU before I actually flash the GPE FW, then I can flash ROMs correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] pagoweb:
If you run GPE RUU, you don't need to flash GPE firm afterwards as the RUU contains it. It contains also GPE stock ROM but you can then replace stock recovery with custom one and flash any rom you want. But keep in mind that GPE system partition (1GB) is to small to contain Sense based rom...
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
Just an FYI. When you respond to someone, use the reply button. That way the person you are responding to knows it was for them, plus they get a notification telling them there has been a reply.

He will get a notification now because of the multi-quote, but in the future, please use the reply button.
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
So it looks like running the RUU would be more of a conversion right? I'll have to re-unlock bootloader, and re-flash recovery?
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
I'm not sure. I have never done the conversion, myself.

Perhaps [MENTION=1307550]pagoweb[/MENTION] will have an answer for you. No need to post again, the @ mention will give him a notification. (which you probably already know)
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
Sorry I meant to multi, but yes [MENTION=1307550]pagoweb[/MENTION] is this correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] tsunami2312:
ummm, i try to flash this tmous firmware and now when i flash any custom rom mobile data is broken, but it works with any other sense rom... any ideas on whats going on? i even went back to stock flash an update from tmobile and still no go.:crying:
[One (M8) Android Development] pagoweb:
Yes running the GPE RUU is like a conversion of your phone : it'll flash booloater, radio, recovery, system, data ...

It'll wipe your internal sdcard. It'll be as a new GPE stock phone...

no need to re-unlock your bootloader as it won't be re locked.

As you'll then be all stock, if you want to try ROM after that you'll have to re flash a custom recovery.

but you must keep in mind that GPE system partition is smaller thant sense so you won't be able to flash sense based ROM after that (you'll have to convert back to sense with a RUU). light roms (like CM or aosp) are ok.
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
Say I opt for just flashing software, which file do I need?
[One (M8) Android Development] pagoweb:
[MENTION=4345041]DroidManIc[/MENTION] what software ? if you just want an android 5 ROM you can try

+ stock GPE ROM

+ Skydragon custom gpe rom

but i don't know how (and if) they work without latest firm (sense or gpe)...
[One (M8) Android Development] DroidManIc:
Sorry I meant Firmware. Instead of fully running RUU and fully converting
[One (M8) Android Development] pagoweb:
[MENTION=4345041]DroidManIc[/MENTION] install the latest firm matching your cid/mid. it should be ok for testing roms.
[One (M8) Android Development] str8str:
How do you tell which is which in the download links for firmware? They aren't named and when you click them it still don't show what carrier or anything.
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
Every firmware is categorized by a number, for example 3.28.401.9 so find out what firmware is applicable for your mid and download the appropriate link. This is not a thread to tell you what you need to flash for your own device but a thread to teach people how to flash firmware without a computer. So in short learn how to use Google
[One (M8) Android Development] badbwoydes:
I am trying to flash my firmware but i'm getting the "no image or wrong image" error. I do still have the option afterwards to continue with the update but i'm afraid to do so. Or is it okay to go through with it? I cannot brink my phone :| especially since I got it 2 days ago.

I have tried almost all of the firmwares in this OP that should match, such as:

3.28.401.6-Firmware-noredtext

3.28.401.7-Firmware-noredtext

1.54.401.5-W_Splash

2.22.1540.3_ATT_no_red_text

I tried it with my stock 1.58 AT&T ROM. I also installed Viper 3.01 and no change. I am S-OFF, Bootloader unlocked, rooted and SIM Unlocked, Super CID, TWRP 2.8.01.

CID and MID doesn't appear to be the prob.

I d/l the firmware, rename it to "0P6BIMG", copy to external MicroSD (tried both FAT32 and exFat) then reboot to bootloader and select HBoot.

I haven't done anything else.

Here is my current info:

What do you mean exactly?
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Pretty sure you need to supercid first. ?
[One (M8) Android Development] vang2k:
i can concur on that also. you need super cid to overwrite firmware becuase it will check your phones CID if it matches before it flashes over.
[One (M8) Android Development] badbwoydes:
Crap. That pic was taken before I started all this. I do have Super CID. Didn't help. Got the exact same issue.
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Take your SD card out. ?

You need to delete the firmware file off it, or you'll loop like that. ?

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Oh... But your 1.58.xx firmware at the moment. Is that what you flashed?
[One (M8) Android Development] badbwoydes:
I have not flashed anything as yet. I want to know if it is okay with going ahead and flashing the firmware even though I am getting that "wrong image" error. I wanna use "3.28.401.7-Firmware-noredtext" so I can start using 4.4.4 ROMs with no WiFi issues. I don't see anyone else in this thread with this issue (well one guy did experience it but he didn't state how he fixed it.
[One (M8) Android Development] :
If you're getting that error, I'm guessing it won't flash anyway.

Sorry though.... Don't have the answer beyond that.
[One (M8) Android Development] vang2k:
i recommend using this firmware from the first page

https://www.dropbox.com/s/y46q9eajive7ruu/3.28.401.9-Firmware-noredtext.zip?dl=0

you should be okay with flashing over 4.4.4 roms that are sense based or aosp based. I was using the same exact firmware when i was running aicp,cm11,sense roms. the firmware should flash over than you can start flashing no issues.
[One (M8) Android Development] badbwoydes:
So you're thinking that "no image or wrong image!" error can be ignored and won't cause a problem with the firmware upgrade? I can't brink my 2 day old phone already. This error is the only think keeping me from going through with the flash.
[One (M8) Android Development] vang2k:
that error or wrong image is something to do with either a bad download or wrong filepath name. *note* 2. Rename firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip (the first character is a zero, NOT A LETTER O)

if your comfortable flashing over using fastboot firmware flashing command i think it flashes easier than using the .zip update. since you already have s-off and supercid you shouldn't have any issues. i recommend flashing the firmware that I linked than using fastboot to flash over a custom recovery than you can flash your rom of choice. if your phone ever freezes or goes into a black screen just vol up+power than when it resets quickly hit the volume down to goto bootloader.
[One (M8) Android Development] badbwoydes:
Sigh. Why do I have to be the one with this stupid prob?

I tried 2 memory cards, formatted them in exFAT, NTFS and FAT32 in Windows and also from Settings > Storage while in the OS. Same Issue. I ensured the file name was "0P6BIMG.zip" beginning with a # 0 as I copied it from the OP. I've also downloaded varies firmwares multiple times and put them on the root of the MicroSD. It cannot be a bad file. Only change is i've opened a few and changed the MID to mine "0P6B12000" after running "fastboot getvar mid"

Is this the command I need to use?:

* 1. fastboot oem rebootRUU

* 2. fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMGe.zip

* 3. Run step #2 again to finish firmware update
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
Have you checked you extSD to make sure that you don't have a renamed file left on it that would cause a conflict? You can only have the one 0P6BIMG.zip file that you are trying to flash on it, or the flash won't work.
[One (M8) Android Development] badbwoydes:
Yes. Duplicate files ain't the prob.
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
[MENTION=2911121]badbwoydes[/MENTION] You could also make a backup and run an RUU to get to 4.4.4. I know you are AT&T, but the international RUU will work if you are S-Off and superCID. The RUU will wipe your phone, but you can restore the backup after the flash.

You can download it here.
[One (M8) Android Development] badbwoydes:
Thanks for the suggestion. I read something about using a RUU as well from another post.

So after download, I just run the file and follow the instructions? I assume I won't need to use any fancy commands for this.

[One (M8) Android Development] TheChiller:
Anybody found a solution to why it skips the installation and just jumps to "press power to reboot"??

My cid and mid match and I have stock recovery and running one of the stock deodexed roms.

Also my bootloader is 're-locked'.

Please help ?
[One (M8) Android Development] GottaStayFly:
Maybe its just me? but my issue is i renamed the firmware zip to that 0xx name whatever, and put it on the root of my SD card, and when i boot into bootloader go into HBOOT it loads it kinda, and than before it switches back to HBOOT Menu, it says no image or wrong something.. I'm S-OFF and SuperCID.. I also tried it with a FAT SD card, and it still does the same thing with my other SD card..:confused:
[One (M8) Android Development] gsm-decode:
Check image .

Maybe corrupted or wrong image

[One (M8) Android Development] RoughNeck1971:
Hi, short question. I did the firmware update exactly as you described and everything is working great. I'm s-off and there was no problem during the process. But when I switch to the bootloader now I can see the correct HBOOT and also Radio Version - but the line with O- is empty. Shouldn't there be 2.22.401.4 visible? What if it is not? Do I have to repeat the update? When I check in Terminal Emulator with "getprop" it shows the version 2.22.401.4 and I have no technical problems. Neither with phone nor wifi. Just wonder about the empty line.
[One (M8) Android Development] clj575:
Funny you say that....my os- is empty as well while in boot loader. Never attempted to update my firmware. I don't see it using getprop either.
[One (M8) Android Development] RoughNeck1971:
So at least it is not only me :).
[One (M8) Android Development] 420SYN:
I think it has something to do with recovery. The latest twrp has some work around to show the info but I don't think it really matters
[One (M8) Android Development] Random667:
I have the T-Mobile version.

I downloaded the no red text firmware, edited the info text to my model id, used adb commands to flash the firmware(2 times without rebooting), erased cache, rebooted.

And it worked with no problem.

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
Anyone having issues with it not working, try formatting your sdcard using your phone (or if your running Linux) so it formats to vfat. All I have is Linux so I can't test NTFS formatted cards. I spoke to someone at HTC and he said that some generic sdcards don't work and that they need to be over 2gb to even get read properly. *None of this information is concrete facts.

*I can confirm that Sandisk and Kingston sdcards do work properly

[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
You have the exact same phone as I have. It always says no image or wrong image because it checks for other stuff as well. You do not need to worry about that at all. If it goes to the screen that asks if you want to update you ate %100 good to go. I would use the wwe 3.28.401.9 as that has ran very smooth without a single issue for me.

If you want to run a ruu you would use the same exact directions as per flashing firmware and links are in the OP [emoji6]
[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
This is a slideshow of me doing the process if that makes you feel more comfortable

[One (M8) Android Development] skulldreamz:
Just fyi, I have the 5.0.1 ruu.zips rooted and unrooted on the OP and that way you don't need a PC to flash a ruu in a executable format. It loads and flashes the same exact way as if you were flashing a firmware zip.
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
rename the RUU to rom.zip and put it in your fastboot folder

boot into bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

You may have to run it a couple of times. It is not uncommon. You will most likely get an error. Just re-run it.

I see [MENTION=4542027]skulldreamz[/MENTION] has already answered not to worry, but I thought I would explain the steps anyway.

[One (M8) Android Development] badbwoydes:
Well thank you for inspiring my confidence and removing my fear to flash it. It went through a different order checking off each option and bypassing others that what was shown in your slideshow (probably because you did it with an older firmware), but after it was completed and I got back into ViperOne, the WiFi started working immediately. So THANK YOU! I'm doing a clean flash of ViperOne again to start over fresh.

This is what I have now:

I had this open but I somehow missed that pic with the same error message I was getting :|

Is there any benefit at all to flashing the RUU now even after the firmware finally worked?

Thank you for that. I learnt yet another thing today. I appreciate the reply.
[One (M8) Android Development] vang2k:
the only benefit if you go with 5.0.1 ruu is that you want to run lollipop roms. if you run that firmware it will wipe your internal SD. if you are satisfied with 4.4.4 and sense roms just stick with the firmware you have if everything works now. if your want to run 5.0.1 ruu you won't be able to go back to a sense rom because of partition size differences. so my advice if it ain't broke don't flash it.
