Absolutely and it doesn't have to be dev edition. It's the MID and CID that tells your phone and the OTA system that you have a dev edition.

This one should do it : http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Flash_recovery_3.28.401.7.rar

Extract the img from the RAR, boot to fastboot, then "fastboot flash recovery <name of file.img> and that's it. If you see a big red ! when you go to recovery, you are good.

Hey to use your zip do you change the name to for example firmware.zip and put in your adb tools folder then

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot reboot ?

You can name the zip as you wish , but be sure to run the command fastboot flash zip firmware.zip twice, as it will (purposely) fail first flash.

It doesn't need conversion - its just an encrypted RUU zip - meaning you cannot edit the txt file for versions of MID or CID. If you so wish you should use one of my downloads and put your MID and CID in the android-info.txt to flash.

I downloaded all of them and are all corrupt.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Just downloaded the RUU from HTC directly
[One (M8) Android Development] mrbillishere:
Yeah I was taking that approach because the RUU wasn't executing on my device.

I have an AT&T M8 with s-off and superCID but evidently something with the firmware was blocking the push that the RUU was trying to make. I was using the (really great) Team Nocturnal GPE ROM which has its own f/w and I'd flashed various radios to see if I could find the one that was best for my location. Bottom line, I imagine something in the stew wasn't tasting good to the RUU.

But, to get past it, I ended up flashing the AT&T firmware (2.22.1540.3_ATT_no_red_text) found in this post and after that, the RUU ran much better. I'm now looking at Sense 6 for the first time since the day in May that I bought the phone. Too soon to tell if I'll stay with this build, but I did peek at the camera and wow, there is a lot of different stuff here now. Should be fun.

good luck

Based upon your previous posts a flash fail is normal . DOes your MID and CID match the requirement of OP ? Non Verizon device ?

Here is the link to download the latest RUU straight from HTC. Hit the thanks button :)

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/

This one is for the BS_US001 CID
[One (M8) Android Development] mrbillishere:
Widestpixel, the errors Rasstar listed are the same as what I experienced, and my phone is an AT&T with the proper MID and CID (I tried using superCID as well as the proper CID to match the text file 'android-info.txt'), there was no difference. As far as I can tell the Downloads you posted are either corrupt, or the zip was not properly decrypted prior to posting in on Drive. We should be able to open/unpack the RUU zipfile, but we cannot.

BTW, I got the same exact result when I took the (encrypted) rom.zip that the RUU tries to flash using the htc_fastboot.exe (part of the RUU distro) and ran it using just the regular (Android platform tool) 'fastboot flash zip rom.zip' - same result.

What process are you using to decrypt the RUU?
[One (M8) Android Development] wildestpixel:
There it's no need to decrypt anything and as stick nothing is decrypted. The exe and the zip fail on your device if you MID doesn't match the android-info.txt. Fastboot flashing the zips works.

I think you need to find your own solution as I cannot offer you anymore than the zips I have uploaded.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[One (M8) Android Development] mrbillishere:
Ah, then I stand corrected. A lot of the write-ups for using fastboot to flash the RUU assume the zip isn't encrypted, I took that to be the norm.

In my case, I did find a solution by flashing a zip that got my firmware back to AT&T's stock. I then re-ran the exe and the process worked as expected. So I guess to conclude, if others are experiencing fastboot failures that result in 'FAILED (remote: 32 header error)' then perhaps as I did, a flash of firmware first will help.

thanks for the insight.
[One (M8) Android Development] wildestpixel:
Did you fastboot flash twice ?

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 AM ----------

[One (M8) Android Development] rasstar:
None worked. I used the exe from HTC instead and it worked fine. I assumed your zip was not encrypted but it is.

Anyone having problem with the latest developers 4.4.4 regarding the Bluetooth? I am trying to get my contact from my IPhone 5s and when I did it via Bluetooth my iPhone said its not recognize devices. Never had this problem with 4.4.3 Anyone has the fix for this? Thanks in advance
[One (M8) Android Development] mrbillishere:
No, as I said I ran the .exe instead.

So in other words, after I changed my firmware to the stock ATT firmware I never went back to try flashing your zip using fastboot because the RUU.exe worked as designed.

The whole purpose for me doing all of the above was to get back to stock sense because I was having issues with my camera. Once I got back to the stock HTC build, I learned that the second, auxillary 'Duo' camera was broken so I am getting a warranty exchange later this week. Before I give up this phone, I'll happily re-test your Zipfile using fastboot and I'll let ya know.

Well here's the problem...my laptops HDD is fried. Which means if something messes up I can not fastboot anything. I'm on AT&T, SUPERcid, running firmware version 3.28.401.7...I wanna use GPE from now on as I have no need for sense based roms, as I never use them anyways...can someone make me a zip from the latest gpe RUU exe.....then all I have to do is hboot flash
[One (M8) Android Development] Roefastford:
Honestly your best option would be to go on an xda forum that is for gpe roms and ask that, as this forum is for converting the m8 to a developer edition which uses a sense based rom, so you are asking on the wrong forum.
[One (M8) Android Development] mattcops:
Hi there, before I go ahead and do this, I understand how to move from GPE to the Sense Rom.

I notice this is the brightstar WWE edition, is this fine for me here in the UK? I am with Vodafone at the moment, but like I say converted to a GPE HTC m8 and now thinking of converting the WWE.

Or would it be easier for me to visit: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads and search for the HTC m8 WWE that is not in the US?
[One (M8) Android Development] wildestpixel:
Hiya,

I got O2 UK device, S-OFF with sunshine, changed to Super CID and changed MID as per the OP and then installed Brightstar dev edition. Everything is good (particulalrly after my O2 stock rom was dirtied after S-OFF and Calculator and flashlight were deleted as the norm). Installed this in the first two guises on two different occasions and OTA's went seamlessly before flashing custom recovery, root, ElementalX and HK mod for beautiful audio.

Any system dump out here..or anyone know which rom.zip extractor works..thanks in advance
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
on hox i used a method where you started the RUU until a Point, stay there and in the temp Folder somewhere on C:/ on your pc you could get the Rom.zip or just by using the search function in Windows...worked good but don't know if it still works
[One (M8) Android Development] Alex-V:
Yes..it's still working..but you can't extract it..also if i open it with win rar you see strange img ..in the past you simple extract the system and use it...

So it would be the easiest way..somebody that flashed this can make a backup from recovery ..

I also saw some extractor but newest was with m7

I think it would be nice to make a custom Rom of it..as I saw people who wrote it's a speedy rom..

I downloaded the ruu from HTC to ensure all is right...start the ruu and search in C rom.zip..takes a long time..you will find it in a temp directory..copy it to place you like..rename and put it to sd boot into bootloader
[One (M8) Android Development] lotzakritters:
I did the same thing, and did the 0P6BIMG.zip sd card way. I didn't have to change my mid and I was coming from stock Tmo US with super cid and s-off

Yea if mid is the same no need I also didn't need to change since my mid was the same as for dev edition just run the ruu and now it's dev edition phone :D

I doubt it. Changing to your carrier's specific radio might help but WWE unlocked or WWE dev edition would probably be the same.

[One (M8) Android Development] TarekElsakka:

Is there something I am missing? Should I remove HTC Sync, for instance?
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
I always remove HTC Sync and only keep the one called HTC Driver or something like that which is necessary for this to work.

The other thing I do is that before I start the EXE, I make sure the phone is in fastboot already.

Other than that there is not much to it.
[One (M8) Android Development] TarekElsakka:
I actually never tried putting the phone in fastboot mode so I am going to try this now. I am sorry for being annoyance, I am just frustrated that it isn't working for me and I at least want to figure out why. I am going to try it from Windows 7. Thanks!

The method of post above should work..it's complete without a pc..i do it like this
[One (M8) Android Development] TarekElsakka:
The links for the RUU zips no longer exist.

EDIT: Okay, I think I figured out what I should do. I'll just extract the ROM zip file from the RUU and flash it through HBOOT as mentioned by nuts77 and Alex-V. I found steps to do this on another forum by a user called "EddyOS", so all credit goes to him; I cannot link to his post, and I am not sure if I am allowed to link to another android forum:

Sounds great and simple enough! However, I never reach the "main screen" because it just shuts after the initial progress bar. Is there another way to do so?

I found another method here but I am not sure it would work either: https://sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-ruu

I'll give it a shot, though.

[One (M8) Android Development] nuts77:
I haven't been able to run the RUU either. Same thing as above, the program closes after the load is complete.

Also tried to flash the zips posted earlier but I get an error 32 message.

I will try to extract a zip from the latest RUU with the method you mention.

If anyone manages to do so before me, can he (or she) upload it for us? thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] TarekElsakka:
It doesn't work because after the install shield wizard nothing comes up, or to be more specific it doesn't reach the 'setup.exe' stage which is why Process Monitor doesn't show anything.

[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
I haven't found a youtube video documenting this, however, it is pretty simple. Just download and run the exe file. If you find the other threads that have the zip file (extracted when you run the exe) all you need to do is put it on your microsd card, rename to 0P6BIMG.zip and reboot to boot loader. I questioned whether or not it would work like that with the ruu zip, but I can confirm first hand that it does work. I now keep a micro SD card with the 4.4.4 ruu zip at all times, so if I mess up something by flashing, I can pop that in and wipe everything clean
