Guys you can use the RUU in this thread to update (non-wiping too).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Benovite:
Word? Downloading! :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nervana1:
So I can flash the 6.21 exe with S-on and I wont lose root right?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
you will lose root and custom recovery and will simply need to reflash TWRP and supersu (i prefer supersu 2.65 and have it posted in my OP of the thread for s-off RUU).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nervana1:
Awesome, thank you very much. Do you have a link for that supersu please
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Benovite:
A BIG thanks! Everything looks great, good to be with Sense 7 and MM. :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
Thanks dottat, will download and add to my collection of RUU's
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Thanks Dottat!

Does a newer hboot actually provide any benefits? I'm still on 3.19.0.0000 right now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nervana1:
Last question, will this make my S-off phone S-ON?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Nope. Won't affect s status or unlock status. Not single one posted in this thread will
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
This is likely the last work I will be posting here too....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nervana1:
Awesome, thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thanhtd1995:
I have a s-on and locked phone running 5.0.1, so i just simply download 6.0 Marshmallow EXE and run it to upgrade my phone? Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes that's correct.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thanhtd1995:
Thank you so much! I just don't want to unlock my phone, I'm from Vietnam, paying 25$ for sunshine! I can buy a new bicycle with that money :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Same here man. We have Walmart for $25 bikes. Probably made somewhere other than here.

Happy updating!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thanhtd1995:
Downloading, hope it's not screw up :silly:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bug6810:
Thank you for all you do!

Can i be s-on and sim unlocked? I want to purchase an Vzw htc one m8 sim unlocked.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] julian87:
Hi. i have flashed your 5.0.1 ruu on my s-on htc and it is perfect and then i used this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/lte-band-7-2600mhz-finally-guide-t2992523 ) to unlock the 7 band LTE 4G europe and it works. my question is if i flash the 6.0 in my phone will it remove the procedure that i did to unlock the lte on my phone or i will have 4g signal?

Htc boomsound

Hi Dottat,

I have s-off m8 and flashed your 6.0 Marshmallow RUU via htc fastboot but I noticed the HTC Boomsound in setting is OFF and grayed out and says "Only available for wired playback."

Is this normal for this firmware at stock rom? Prior flashing my boomsound is also available for internal speaker and optional for wired. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I will take a look at mine when I get back to the office.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nitinsaraf:
Can I have MarshMallow Rom but with Settings of Lollipop

I want this because in Lollipop Settings I could use "Internet Pass Through" however, in Marshmallow this option is replaced with other options. I badly need "Internet Pass through"

So if I can have Marshmallow ROM with Lollipop Settings it ll be huge help.

I assume someone can make a flashable zip which can be flashed thru TWRP

waiting ................................
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Keep waiting. Typically you cannot mix and match this stuff. Let this thread be about what's its supposed to be about. Call HTC and complain.

Cannot copy RUU to SD card

Is anyone else having an issue where the 6.0 .zip is acting like it is corrupted. When i download the file, I do an md5 check and it is correct. But if i try to open the .zip it says that it is invalid and it will not allow me to open it. If i try to copy it to my sd card I get a message saying "Cannot copy item: The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." After researching this error, it seems to be a fail safe android devices have for copying corrupted files onto the device.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You cannot open a signed encrypted ruu without the right tools. Sorry b
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] vampyric_blood:
Ahh, that explains that. Now to figure out why it wont let me copy it to sd card...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ar0nn0:
yeah..I have this issue... :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
The copy to sd issue?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ar0nn0:
Yeah...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Is upgrading via PC an option?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
It should. Pm me if you get stuck or mess up. I got you covered.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Irieone:
Your clear that I am wanting to use your 4.4.2 RUU and not your rooted 4.4.3 kinda RUU. Correct? I will relock while in CleanRom, then jump straight to flashing the RUU via fastboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lchupacabras:
Holy hell, this needs to be stickied. Fixed my phone after everything was breaking on it (Generic Network Failures everywhere.)

Thanks for the incredibly useful post!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Make sure you note the full ruus with root I have in the development section too. Thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Updated OP.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bnsrowe:
I'm super confused, i'm on scottroms stock rooted 4.4.3 so can I place the 4.4.3 on sdcard boot into hboot and be good to go?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
What are you looking to do? Prep for OTA or return for warranty?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bnsrowe:
prep for ota, im also one of the poor souls with 4g data disconnect issues hoping going back straight will work the kinks out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Go straight to tigerstowns firmware thread and flash the firmware he has posted. You don't even have to touch your installed rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bnsrowe:
I already messed up the rom so I figure nows a good time to just RUU and get it over with
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
OK. This one won't wipe data so if you haven't lost data yet it might help you out. Just do the SD card option. It's the easiest honestly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bnsrowe:
ok with 4.4.3?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yep. You will be totally stock with no root. Won't affect your s off or unlock status. If all is good you can take the OTA after that. Then flash twrp and flash su.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bnsrowe:
thank you sir, here we go....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] The Stig 04:
Hey just a suggestion, you should let people know to delete the RUU from the SD after they are done with it. I ran into a problem after I updated to 4.4.4, I didn't/forgot to remove the RUU from my SD card, and when I went to flash TWRP the RUU tried to run again as soon as I booted into the bootloader. Hitting vol down for "no" to stop the install and reboot the phone did nothing, it would just throw me right back into the bootloader and the RUU trying to install and a red text that I don't remember what it says. Nothing bad happens if you run it again but just a pain to have to rerun the RUU to get on stock 4.4.3 delete the RUU from SD and then update again.

Edit: Also I had to plug my phone into my computer to delete the RUU. Es File Explorer would not delete it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Es can't because of the kit Kat sd card issues. Some people like to keep it there so I haven't had that really come up yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Humayunsd:

my one m8 have android 4.4 with S-ON, can i download the DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_ON_6_0.exe to upgrade to android marshmallow with no problem?

please somebody that can answer me this please, i will appreciate it thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes. You can.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lpq66:
Hi, first of all thank you for the build.

I already update my phone and have some questions:

1. You said that all data will be deleted, but nothing was deleted from my phone after upgrade.

2. My update process was a bit strange, i download ruu and open it, go thru all steps, connected the phone and it stuck at HTC logo, for a 10min so i unplug it and restart ruu app on pc, then plug usb cable back and it finish upgrade.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
1) this one does not wipe. The s-off one does wipe.

2) that can be normal depending on your pc, USB cable or driver version. Bottom line you did what I would have told you to do.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bjl:
First of all, thanks for all of your work on this. I'm unlocked & s-off and used your custom firmware a couple weeks ago to update to Marshmallow. All's going well except today my power button decided to stick in the on position. Apparently this is not a uncommon issue that appears to only have a couple solutions - disassemble the phone or warranty service. I'm likely going to go with the warranty service on this and need to get the phone as close back to stock as possible. I can't currently get the phone to stay in the bootloader due to the power button being stuck and causing the phone to reboot after about 2 seconds.

Is this RUU an appropriate starting point for getting back to stock?

Thanks!

Edit:

So, I've been playing around with things. I can reboot to the bootloader, and then fastboot oem rebootRUU before it automatically reboots due to the power button being stuck. And since I'm not sure what would happen with the stuck button, I quickly fastboot reboot when it gets to the HTC logo screen.

Does holding the power button on that screen do anything? I wouldn't want the device to shut down because then I don't think I'd have any way to turn it back on.

/edit
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Can you boot up to a rom? It will be difficult to lock your boot loader, flash the ruu, and turn s-on if your phone keeps rebooting
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bjl:
It will boot normally and I can use everything else as expected. I just can't use any of the functions the power button provides - turn screen on/off, reboot/shutdown menu, etc. I can get into recovery (TWRP) and flash things there (I accidentally unrooted and need to re-flash superuser). The undesired reboot is only happening when I boot into the bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Using adb while booted to the rom run the following command

Adb reboot oem-78

Does the phone stay in ruu mode until you reset it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bjl:
nope. reboots after about 10 seconds.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
OK. So no ruu flashing either. You gotta get the phone stable. Carefully play with that button.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bjl:
Thanks. So I shouldn't do anything unless I can somehow get that button to respond?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
That's correct.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bjl:
Thanks again. And sorry to take this thread off-topic. I'm sending you something for your trouble here and for making these roms/ruus/etc available.

I've been playing around with the button for the last 45 minutes and have gotten it to respond intermittently, and I can get it to stay in fastboot / ruu with out rebooting.

doing some more research, it sounds like there might be a slight bit of moisture or "gunk" trapped near the contacts for the button that completes the circuit making it appear the button is being pressed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] klw7890:
Hi, I know everyone here is much more knowledgeable than I. My HTC One M8 is stuck on the white splash screen (with htc in green text) after attempting the RUU exe. Any ideas? No response from holding power button. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Hold power button and vol up until it reboots. Then switch to volume down only. Enter fastboot mode and RE-run the ruu.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] klw7890:
I actually managed to figure this out a few hours ago, but this is exactly what I did! Thank you!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I sorta remember using rubbing alcohol on one of ours to fix it.

Do you think you are likely to return/swap it at this point still? If so, we will want to lock the boot loader, run the ruu and then turn s-on.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bjl:
I think so. It's was working ok this morning, but has gotten stuck a few times this afternoon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mekatech:
Stuck in htc black screen 4 exclamation marks

Need help, im s-off unlocked bootloader need a ruu for my m8 verizon, thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bjl:
I'm no expert, but with s-off and an unlocked bootloader, you should be able to flash any m8 rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mekatech:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Use an SD and sd card reader to load it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 1droidmod:
Last year I sent my (vzw) htc one m8 back (broken micro usb charge port) only locking the bootloader up again and leaving it s-off. Got a new/used device never heard anything about it. NOW days I order the micro usb charging port flex from Amazon and do it myself cause last year there was a period of time NO methods were available yet to unlock the firmware my replacement device was on. Took 3 months for a version of Sunshine to do the trick.. Wanna know what he*l is like? Go 3 months w/out ROOT, lol:thumbdown::thumbdown:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
I actually just opened up my phone today and replaced a bunch of stuff in it, charging port and housing. It's not incredibly difficult to do.

The power button is actually fairly finicky, it falls out easy and doesn't stay in place. You may be able to stick a guitar pick in between the outer and inner housing without unscrewing anything just enough to loosen that power button.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 1droidmod:
Also super easy to break/ lose your GPS antenna which is just to the left of your power button above the camera lens when you open your phone. (small copper strip)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
Bummer, just checked GPS and I did break it.

Thought everything was working too, that was the only thing I didn't check. Guess I'll try to open it back up later this week and see if I can salvage it.

hello, sorry to bother you. I am not new to the flashing stuff; have been doing it for a while now. i am from Pakistan and bought a htc one m8 verizon unlocked but when i received it, it is on android version 4.4.4 and of-course it is s-on. but here is the problem: when i try to update through system update it shows unable to download the update. now i am new to the htc thing. i need to know how could i get to marshmallow let it be stock verizon if you could guide me completely. need your help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You simply need to flash/follow the op you quoted. The signed marshmallow ruu is posted and will flash via sd card or fastboot on your phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LineArc:
i am on stock recovery so how am i supposed to flash one. and if you could point me directly to the RUU i am supposed to install. it will be a favour buddy.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I know you saw the op because you fully quoted it. The instructions are in there.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LineArc:
you are absolutely right, i did see it but i am not entirely sure which one should i try the exe or the zip? need your help to flush the confusion...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Try the exe.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LineArc:
thank you, the zip method seemed easy but since you said to try for exe so will go with exe. will let you know once downloaded. we have a crappy internet here. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LineArc:
tried the exe but it is showing the usb error, any thing special missing???
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
USB drivers installed for HTC?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LineArc:
i believe yes as i installed windroid tool and it installed universal adb drivers.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
No. HTC drivers. Not some crap ass tool you found on Google.

Here's the x64 drivers for windows for your phone.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LineArc:
thank you once again. without you i would have done nothing. by the way i am trying these as well as downloading verizon sync tool.

downloaded. dont know what to do with these...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LineArc:
tried the exe method but dont know why it stops at sendind file 1/7, i waited for it for almost 4 hours with no result eventually i had to remove my mobile and reboot it. and thank god it rebooted successfully with my old 4.4.4. need your help. i am downloading the zip file too, but i dont want anything to go wrong.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Usually that means that the driver didn't install when the phone was in fastboot mode. Make sure it shows as an HTC device in device manager when the phone is connected and in fastboot USB.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LineArc:
just for your knowledge i even tried the zip file method but it shows wrong img or something like this.

it is not showing in device manager, i am on windows 10. trying the htc sync now...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Ah. Windows 10 and/or USB 3.0 can sometimes play havoc. So you can also manually flash the ruu. In your c drive there should be a folder called Android. Open that and open the folder called com. Hold the shift key and right click inside this folder in an open area and select open command prompt here.

Boot your phone to fastboot mode and connect to the PC.

Issue the following commands.

HTC_fastboot oem rebootRUU

HTC_fastboot flash zip rom.zip

This should start flashing it and it will look at times like it stopped by let it keep going. When complete do

HTC_fastboot reboot
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] LineArc:
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, I was using both; windows 10 with USB 3. Changed the port and giving it a try.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
dumb question. I need to go to complete stock while still unlocked and s-off so that I can do a stock recovery factory reset since I screwed up my phone with dfs and qxdm and now I don't get ANY data at all (no hspa, no 4G. Using a t-mo sim in a vzw htc m8). If I flash the 6.0 ruu in the first post, will I still have an unlocked bootloader and s-off? supposedly a stock recovery flash is the only way to put my NVRAM values back to default.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I just told you to flash this one in the other thread and that it won't change s or lock status. ?. Get on it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
Downloading this RUU has proven to be essentially impossible.

Tried downloading it yesterday (let it go on my home PC while I was at work), said it was unsuccessful when I came home and checked. Tried again, this time from my phone (left my phone in the kitchen the whole time, close to the router). checked on it several hours later, said download complete. renamed it, moved it to the SD card, loaded hboot, it couldn't unzip properly when it got to the system img. all the other partitions seemed to flash just fine. Moved the file to my computer to flash using option 3. fastboot oem rebootRUU worked, but flashing wouldn't initialize because of some invalid header size or whatever. I checked the MD5, it didn't match. Tried to redownload, this time from my PC again. When it finally finished, I checked the MD5, it matched, but the zip was corrupt anyway and wouldn't open and couldn't flash. It wouldn't even allow me to copy the file to my phone. Not internal storage, not the SD card. Just to make sure, I rebooted the phone, rebooted the computer, and tried moving over a different RUU (the s-off custom ruu with TWRP, etc from the other topic). It went fine. only this download refused to be moved to the phone.

Now I am trying to use my phone again to download the file, but it quits and says "unsuccessful" after about 60 seconds. it refuses to even download to my phone. This is what my life has become. x_x

edit: I should mention that it bypassed a couple of files that had numbers in parenthesis in them (like SBL1 (3) or something like that)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Alright buddy. Your assumptions are killing me already.

You do NOT possess the tools to unzip that signed encrypted file. So stop trying. The zip is fine.

Sbl's are secondary bootloaders. Four are included in the zip and only the matching one will flash. If one of the three that do not were to flash you would have a brick.

Invalid header size means you did NOT use the HTC version of fastboot I have posted. You are using generic fastboot which does not understand the HTC l@rge zip format (really what they call it). Download it and you will have no problems flashing the signed/encrypted zip.

Lastly, I wouldn't recommend downloading large zips from androidfilehost via the phone.

So what else can I help you with?
