Thanks for the feedback!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
Did you get this resolved? Do you have a Verizon m8?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamousxsniper:
Will the 4.4.4 radios work on lollipop?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Didn't try that....worse case you have to flash back to 5.0.1 radios if not.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] buddyfriendo:
Nope. And yes, I have the Verizon M8.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevnube:
If I'm not mistaken, it is okay to flash the Lollipop radios with TWRP when using Kitkat and there aren't any weird issues? In my experience radio versions haven't caused any issues with different ROM versions.

One thing I'm wondering if this new radio allows for Carrier Aggregation with Band 4 and 13 for when Verizon finally switches it on.

The m9 and S6 should both have it along with iphone6 and Nexus 6. It would be sweet if m8 had CA since it was advertised as having it when it was released.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You can't flash these using twrp. Use fastboot. As of now the m8 has no such feature like my nexus 6 does.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] killhr:
So if you don't have PC or and PC setup to flash on phone we're sol?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You should be able to flash with sdcard...few things would need done 1st of course but you can yes..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] killhr:
Can you point me to those directions im a truck driver and I flash on the go lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I can help you out. I'm bout to punch out an go home then I'll hook you up with sdcard flashing method directions an send you a pm.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] killhr:
OK thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ryan1977:
I would love these directions as well.

Updated my GPE 5.0.1 VZ M8 to the latest radio in OP, no ill effects on 4G stability or signal. Signal strength and throughput are no worse or better than 0926 radios in my home area, but I travel all over the US for work so I'll have a chance to see if this radio update makes any difference in places around the US that I've been before.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] md303:
Interesting, the latest radio seems to be really flaky in Santa Barbara, CA. Phone wants to fallback to 3G constantly, and I have to toggle Airplane mode to get 4G most of the time. Once connected to 4G, throughput is no worse than 0926 radios, but the phone just won't stay on 4G for more than a few minutes. My phone has been back on 0926 radio for about 12 hours now and it has not yet fallen back to 3G.

I have flights booked to New Orleans, Dallas, Houston and San Diego. I'll try the newer radios in each of those cities over the next 2 months and post results!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mulhearn22:
thank you for this! i upgraded to CM12 and i had nothing but issues with my network (exclamation point on it all the time, problem sending/receiving MMS). I was pretty much screwed if I wasn't on wifi (though I could still make and receive calls). 5.0.1 radio seems to have solved that issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Wrong thread lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Metroba:
Would you mind sharing?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
All you have to do is download my zip change to proper name so hboot will see file. Place on the ROOT of your external sdcard an reboot to bootloader click hboot an it should scan for a file an prompt you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Metroba:
Been a long time since using hboot. Thank you for explaining. Worked like a charm.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] calebcabob:
Is this still the only Lollipop radio available for Verizon M8?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Yea only one I can post.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] calebcabob:
Hmm...meaning if there's another one, you don't know about it? That's what I'm assuming you mean.

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Not the case. I meant it is the only radios that were released to the public so those r only ones I can post ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pankozin:
Hello. A question here. i have VERIZON sim-unlocked phone. I live in ukraine. So can i get s-off and install on it WWE firmware (or get a WWE x.xx.401.xx RUU) - thus convert it to WWE version to use all available roms and get OTA updates for

xx.xx.401.xx version? And still catch the signal/3G and so on? Or it will cause problems and i need to stick to Verizon firmware and roms?

the question is: can i flash on VERIZON M8 WWE firmware instead of VERIZON firmware and WWE ROM instead of adapted to VERIZON rom. Can i change MID to HTC_032 or no? Will i receive signal after this conversion? Will i have other hardware incompatibilities? Or VERIZON = WWE in hardware (except the extended antenna band)?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bubbahump:
[MENTION=5317224]Tigerstown[/MENTION], the 4.4.4_0926 zip file has the radio.img misnamed inside the zip: It should be radio.img but is radios.img. Needs to lose the 's'.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Ah you are correct I will go ahead an upload a correct file to the downloads today soon as I get home from work. My mistake
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] walker164:
Are these still the most recent radios? I currently have 1.12.20.1211 and can't get 4G anymore with SD or CM12.1. Just checking before I post a new topic on the Help forum.

Thanks!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] walker164:
That's a perfect post. Thank you so much for helping! I grabbed the exact zip I have been looking for for a while.

Unfortunately, I'm in a spot without my laptop and I flashed the firmware file without fastboot. I tried googling to find the best way to flash firmware without fastboot. So, I tossed it on the SD card and flashed the only way I knew, which was to rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and let RUU take over and flash. It flashed fine and everything was "OK", but CM12.1 wouldn't fire up after 20 mins of it cooking. I went back into the bootloader and my radio version was still 1.12.xxxxx and I'm assuming that 4G won't work. I'm going to work on getting out of the bootloop tomorrow, but did I miss anything in upgrading the radios?

Thanks guys
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
More than welcome, that must be the latest radio version then as radio.img is in that firmware.zip
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] walker164:
Ok, I'm with ya. I'm having issues getting 4G and GPS on my M8. Only 3G connects. I'll probably post something specific in the general help area. Thanks for your help frand!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
From my readings with the issue you describe - you want to flash the stock recovery and do a factory reset from stock recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] walker164:
I just flashed a 5.0.1 ruu via fastboot and so far so good. It's doing it's upgrade thing now and I should hopefully be back to stock after this. Let's hope for the best.

For anyone looking at this poast on a little date, I went here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-on...zip-ruu-m8vzw-5-0-1-s-off-onlynewest-t3047103 - I downloaded the most recent zip and fastbooted it (fastboot commands are on the first page of this poast). This site actually through HTC was slightly helpful too: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berrywr:
I've downgraded successfully to Android 4.4.2 and she's up and there's 3G at the top. I just attempted to put it into recovery; I got a dark blank screen, the red triangle, let it sit there and did an automatic restart after about 3 minutes, I have a mobile signal and the "3G" is grayed out next to my wifi signal; turned wifi off, and 3G is back at the top; where exactly do I perform the factory reset; bootloader screen? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Once you've done an RUU, you factory reset from the stock recovery in the RUU. The RUU is an exact copy of factory settings.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can also do it from inside the stock ROM in Settings. Of course, this just reboots to the stock bootloader and executes a script, so it should accomplish the same thing.

When I RUU, I use the 0P6BIMG.zip method, so I can't enter recovery until I rename it. So my options are, let the ROM boot and rename it with the stock file manager (I just skip setup because it isn't needed) and then power off, and then do the power+volume down trick, then slide up to volume up to get into the bootloader, or I just do the factory reset from Settings. (I can also install Titanium Backup from my SD card, where I always keep the latest APK of it, and then in that app, reboot to bootloader from its menu. I don't think the stock APM has reboot to bootloader; pretty sure it does not.)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
Any chance we can get newest radios? for android 6?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I don't have this device but I can do it sure. You got the latest firmware zip or ota? Or point me to one I'll so it now
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
This? http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
OK I download the zip from that OP. I guess that's the latest firmware I have no idea hoping you were going to link me to a download. No biggie. I'll have radios for you after I smoke this Newport.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
sorry :( I'm really not an expert with this stuff. Just trying to fix a screw up. I used DFS to try to open up more bands, and now I get no data at all. fml.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
No need to be sorry it's all good???? but you ready to test now? I got zip all set for Ruu mode flashing I'm uploading now so let me know.

I NEVER POST files I can't test is why I haven't updated m8 SO YOU ARE WILLING to be my tester just to be clear..nothing with go wrong just standard disclaimer????. I thought someone how to edit hboot so he could keep my hboot M8. Thread open
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
I don't know how to flash anything unless it's thru TWRP or by hboot... Last time I did anything really intensive was 2 years ago when I bought this phone and did the initial root.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4yuQy7Zn1WScWVpNE9YbGFJdTg/view?usp=docslist_api

OK so download this rename to proper name to flash via hboot
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lCarlCarlsonl:
Hi TigersTown,

I know this is super old as a thread but I was wondering what radio you had good success with? I'm in the same area and the newest radio from the mm rom (1.14.20.0930) does this match the file you uploaded? If so I can use it as a backup without having to figure that out myself.

I'm also in the Detroit area so if you remember which Radio you had success with on your M8 I can try flashing that one first.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:

Anyone flash this yet, I tried and it failed in recovery

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] syphix:
You don't flash in recovery. You flash similar to the .0222 radio. Instructions on OP.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] spjetrovic:
I may be mistaken but the second post has what I think is a flashable zip

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Same as op..I will put that in post so no more confusion...I have only ever flashed radios one way so I didn't even think about it.

I read this and waited for the zip file

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bejahnel:
I'm having similar issue, but haven't read anywhere of other people having this issue until now. I had a new SIM sitting around and tried it, it doesn't help. I think it's because most Roms are built on the 1.54 images and mine came with 1.55, so newer firmware. I haven't decided if the older radio is better or not, but I know on sense Roms built on 1.55 I don't seem to have the issue of not reconnecting to 4g from what I've noticed so far.

I'm thinking about taking the m8 back and getting a new (to me) because of bad antenna/hardware. How did you get back to s-on?

Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] spjetrovic:
no biggy, just thought flashing is done with recovery and you push with adb

sent from the great free Palestine!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You r correct on both those but radios r flashed via fastboot in ruu mode.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] spjetrovic:
I have never flashed radios on the M8.

With these ****ty radio's on the M8. I was looking for an improvement. I had a few Samsung cell that also had ****ty radio's but we would mix and match 3G/4G radio zip and flash in recovery.

I'm about to pull my SIM card and fire up my S4. ?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] syphix:
No fix for me and my 3G/4G hand-off issues. I've tried everything, even using a 1.55 Sense ROM (flashing back to stock), to no avail. Getting a new SIM card and then talking warranty with Verizon...

As for getting back to S-On: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2745257
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I really can't give no input as this is not a issue for me ever....because I always have 4g everywhere I go around Detroit an Ann arbor I haven't seen slow ass 3g since I left worthless sprint a year ago. That would suck tho to have that issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bejahnel:
Thanks for the link, I've looked and found a few different threads, but that it's a good one with everything in one place.

I live in Kansas city and I should have 4g everywhere, and I did with my moto x. With the m8 from the beginning I noticed a drop in signal, not much but still not as good as the x. I had one SIM go bad and I wasn't getting data, showed 3g or 4g but no data or dial up like speeds. Now it's more of a situation where I think there has been something wrong with the phone from the start. So I'm more than likely going to s-on and warranty it. If the next one comes and it's doing the same thing, then I guess I'll look for a different phone or sell it and wait for something else later this year.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] syphix:
There is no better antenna on a smartphone than on Motorola's and iPhones, IMO. The M8 ranks down there with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus for reception. Very disappointed. I'm far past the 14 day return window, but I may be listing this phone on Swappa/eBay in the near future.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] syphix:
A new SIM card hasn't helped. I really don't know what to do. I like the phone, but having to toggle airplane mode to get data to work is unacceptable!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cybrwulf:
I too deal with 3g/4g back and forth and horrible reception. I love this phone, but it has terrible radios, and when it comes down to it, I need to have data working at all times. It seems like there is always one or two things a person has to "deal" with when it comes to Verizon phones. I guess I will see how well the G3 radios perform and give up on the world of flashing custom roms for a while.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Very unacceptable. I couldn't deal with that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] serotoninzero:
Mine has gotten so bad over the last few weeks, I think there's something physically wrong with the antenna or something. I used to get 4G service all the time in my house, now I'm lucky to get 3G... usually I just sit with no service. In my house I could care less, but outside in the real world, I might as well be on StraightTalk or something with the service I get. Going to try to flash these radios and see what happens.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I really don't think these radios will help your issues. If u should have 4g an have nothing at all sounds like a worse issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigeddthemonk:
OK, this is a a noob question but I'm still learning how HTC works since my last phone was a moto bionic. Do I have to flash this every time I flash a ROM or does it stick regardless of what ROM I flash?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jax187:
You only have to flash it once and it'll stick no matter what ROM you run.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Just once radios r not included in a Rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] earthtodigi:
I too am experiencing the same connectivity issues you all are having. From day one the phone wanted to drop 4G and stick on 3G from the time I would leave my house all the way til I hit the interstate about 5 miles away, then it would eventually regain 4G. Now recently I'm seeing that when it does go back to 4G, I will have plenty of signal, but the data connection gets stuck in a loop of disconnecting - reconnecting - disconnecting - reconnecting, until I toggle airplane mode. This reconnecting issue didn't begin until I flashed a custom ROM, which was built on another base and then ported to VZW, so I hoped going back to the stock base would fix it, but as you all have already said, it didn't. I do still have a nandroid backup of my stock ROM that had the last known good setup, so I may restore that and see if helps anything.

I considered swapping the phone for a replacement when I was in my 14 day worry free guarantee period. I started by first trying a new SIM which didn't help at all, but I ended up getting busy with life and the return period passed me by. I really don't want to go with the CLNR route, but this is getting quite annoying, even though it generally only happens once or twice per day on my way to and from work.

What's strange is, there has been a small handful of times when I drive the same route, and the phone behaves perfectly normal and maintains a usable, fast connection the entire way, so I know it's capable, just need to figure out was special about those instances. It's too bad these radios don't help us, since there seems to be more than a couple of us experiencing this, perhaps we should create another thread so we can discuss this data/signal issue and see if we can narrow down a fix or at least a possible cause. Or if a thread about this already exists, can anyone provide a link?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Once you have flashed a rom that corrupts the NV radio partitions, there is only one real way to get it sorted back out.

That method will wipe the device, so back up anything important before proceeding.

Then you need to load the stock recovery and perform a factory reset with stock recovery installed.

The stock recovery, is the only thing that will touch the deeper radio partitions, that end up corrupted from improper roms, etc,..

It will reset the NV Radio Partition layout, as it was set up for Verizon.

Then you can reflash a custom recovery and carry on, and you should have much stronger 4G and it should hold much better again.

Just changing roms and wiping in custom recoveries will not correct those NV Radio partitions, only a factory reset from stock recovery will do the job.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I agree start a new thread has this is a thread for radios not how shi*ty your phone is.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] earthtodigi:
Yeah, that's why I said we should start a new thread. Thank's for your support though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I just have instant email for this thread case people need help flashing my radios I posted. I don't care about off topic just seem to be getting Lil out if control you know.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigeddthemonk:
OK, so from what I've read people keep complaining about the service currently on their phone. Does anyone have any opinions on the firmware, positive, negative, neutral?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Really? This is a radio thread. Not q&a forum.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] boylez:
I wanted to give some feedback to anyone thinking of doing this. I work in an area with sketchy signal and always had problems with 3g/4g switching back and forth. Sometimes even 1x. I would typically have to use airplane mode at least twice per day.

I flashed this two days ago and haven't had to use airplane mode since. It seems to use 3g while at work and 4g comes back up on the drive home. I'm running a 1.55 rom but flashed the older radio. Fingers crossed this fixed it. I've only used Motorola's in the past so I'm not used to this crappy signal.

Also wanted to say thanks to op for providing this!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigeddthemonk:
could bad radios cause your phone to be stuck in 3g, regardless of airplane mode or a reboot? Cause mines acting up since flashing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I really don't know as I never have issues I'm always in 4g. Maybe someone can chime in.

I seen your post you deleted an I could of swore you were asking bout firmware an best setup cause people r having troubles with there phones? If I read it wrong my bad..didn't really think it was about these radios...you can discuss these radios all you want in this thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silver04v:
I'm in and out of 4g just fine. Maybe try and flag it again? Idk
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigeddthemonk:
Sorry, I was having a bad day, I really don't like to start fights, anyway by firmware I ment the radios.

Oh and after a fresh flash of the ROM all is well, its a gpe ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
All good! An glad to hear you got your issues figured out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jbeitel:
It's still early to say but it looks like going back to the .0222 radio fixed my problem with dropping into 3g all the time. Fingers crossed. Thanks tiger
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
Thanks Santo, I think I need to do this but I have a few questions.

1) stock recovery, where do I get this and will it break root etc

2) will this method wipe the sd internal storage as well?

3) can I nandroid my current ROM and then restore this after the reset?

Thanks again!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Here is stock 1.55 recovery IMG I pulled a while back

http://d-h.st/7Ud

To be safe backup your stuff to PC real quick an if it does wipe everything you can simply click an drag it back to phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
Thank you for this, one question, do I do the factory reset from stock recovery or from the settings menu on the phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
To slove the problem [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] said I'm not quite sure myself I would guess just copy phone an SD to PC do a full complete wipe thru the settings as it boots to stock recovery to do its work..I could be wrong so maybe he will chime in for you to be sure.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
Second, I flashed the stock recovery and then tried to do a factory reset yet the phone seems to be stuck at the rebooting stage? Do I need to be on a 1.55 rom in order to do this reset?? Please help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
You can do it either way, though some folks have issues pulling up stock recovery menu, as it requires volume up and power while in the stock recovery exclamation screen(or whatever shows)

But yes, you can simply do it through settings, it will boot to recovery and perform the reset operation and will even say on the screen, that it's restoring the NV partitions while it does its thing.

You definitely want to back up anything on internal and external storage that you want to save, it will wipe the entire device.

Rom version shouldn't really matter.

As I used to revert to stock rom to do this process, and later found it wasn't necessary.

Sounds like maybe the stock recovery didn't flash properly? Not sure.

Never had a factory reset hang on me before.

If you continue to be stuck, I would say you may wanna try and sideload a stock rooted rom though, reflash the stock recovery and try again.

Definitely have never seen it hang just doing a reset like that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I just sold 3 m7 phones last month. One phone also got stuck on reboot...I waited an waited. Nothing so I power vol to get to boot loader. Then I re downloaded reflashed the recovery all went well second time around. I didn't have a VZW based ROM on 2 of the 3 so ROM shouldn't matter at all.

You fastboot flashed the recovery correct?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
OK I finally got it to do the reset using what I believe was stock recovery. An phone showing what I think was an exclamation with arrows around it in a circular pattern is what I saw during the process. After the reboot, I noticed that the most recent NuSense 1.2 was still on the phone. If that is the case, has my objective been fulfilled? Should I just restore a backup now? Please let me know.

Thanks a bunch
