Please help me :(

Im currently running lollipop on my htc one m8 with 4.16 firmware stock. I really want to install custom roms to my phone. i watched a lot of videos in youtube and read threads here on how to unlock bootloader, install rom and root. can someone help me? my bootloader is locked. what are the procedures that i need to do? i tried downloading some drivers and tried using the htcdev website but its not working. Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
And......?

You can run an RUU while S-On. You'll have to relock your bootloader first if it's a RUU.exe, or you can flash a RUU.zip via SDcard without relocking your bootloader.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wake walking dream:
Hi guys.

Is there a reliable way to backup and restore the user dictionary of the stock HTC keyboard on a stock MM rom?

How exactly is BoomSound supposed to work. Every time I wipe data partition I get a different behavior. Either it will not work on device's speakers (cannot enable it) and it will only work on headphones, or it will work on both (can enable/disable it on either), or it will not work on either (cannot enable it). Why does Boomsound get messed up? My device has stock MM rom with TWRP 3.0.2.0 and EX kernel.

This winter I noticed for the first time the effects of low temperatures in a phone battery. Twice I left my phone in the car for one and a half hour and when I picked it up and tried to use it, it rebooted. Probably the effect of winter cold in an old battery. The battery temp could have dropped as low as 5 degrees C. Even though the battery still gives a good SOT, when cold it just can't keep up with the load. The second time I had this happen, the mischievous bug that erases app data when phone dies because of power loss occured. So I had to factory reset as it messed up gapps and they were constantly crashing. Did you guys have any similar experience with M8 and operation in low temperatures? What is the lowest battery temp that you've seen your M8 operate reliably?

Thanks in advance.

Download this and see if it works. It's already renamed, so just download it and put it onto your extSD.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Okay. That's your problem. Your SD card is 128gb. That means it is formatted to exFAT and you need a card formatted to FAT32 for this. You can format your 128gb card to FAT32 if you like, but that might cause issues later. If you do, format it back to exFAT after. If you have a card that is 32gb or less it would be best to use that, but check that it is formatted properly first (it should already be)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Your zip has a folder in it. Zip it without folder then it'll works. Also need to rename twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img to recovery.img

Cool. Thanks. It's been about two years since I've done this. But I don't understand what you mean by there is a folder in it. There's only the txt document and the twrp.img in the folder I think. At least that is all I see when I open it.

I used the twrp.img from the earlier post from [MENTION=5511100]mrrocketdog[/MENTION]. I'll try downloading it from their site instead and modify that one

When I view your 0P6BIMG.zip on my phone, it shows twrp-3.0.2-0-m8 folder, open the folder then I see android-info.txt & twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img (instead of recovery.img)

When I extracted 0P6BIMG.zip, the structure is 0P6BIMG\twrp-3.0.2-0-m8\android-info.txt & twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img

EDIT: The 2gb card should work. I actually have one that I've used for this purpose multiple times to flash firmware. It should already be FAT32. You could always insert it into the phone first and go to settings > storage and format the card before putting the zip onto it.

Download this firmware.zip. It's the exact firmware you have now except it has TWRP in it. And I know for a fact that this .zip is good. :)

Rename it to 0P6BIMG and see if that works. If not, it is something on your end.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebinio:
i'm sorry to say I did not root my phone yet
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
TWRP will be in a .img file, not a zip.

From your PC in fastboot, push it to your device with the command: fastboot flash recovery "recoveryfilename".img ~ No quotes, but the name of the file.

Or, rename it to "twrp.img" (again no quotes) and place it onto the root of your extSD. Then launch terminal emulator , and type the following:

su (click enter)

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 (click enter)

Then reboot

With the firmware, after you identify it, you will know if it needs to be updated or not. Let me know what firmware version you have, and I can direct you to the proper download and instructions

Please help to install Lollipop on HTC One M8 with Locked Bootloader S-OFF 4.4.2

Hi,

I'm completely a novice user. I bought an htc one m8 which has got locked bootloader with S-OFF (attached screenshot). It has OS 4.2.2.

I need official HTC one m8 GPE. I'm fine if the update process removes S-OFF.

As I'm not familiar with rooting/flashing etc. please can you suggest me some guide that can help me achieve this. I have googled many blogs but I'm very nervous that the proposed steps may not be appropriate knowing the current status of my phone i.e locked bootloader with S-OFF and OS 4.2.2

Sorry if anything sound silly. Appreciate your help.

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Second hand obviously. It's weird to see the S-Off and SuperCID(11111111) on a locked phone.

You are going to have to get the Android SDK kit from Google so you can use ADB to push commands to your phone using command prompts.

Grab the kit, and install the HTC drivers to your PC. Then go to a firmware thread and grab the appropriate one for you. The OP in that thread should give the commands you need to install the new firmware to your device.

Do a little research on how to use ADB and fastboot. It really isn't that hard.

Good luck!

@Jena-HtcOneM8 You can also use the method on this thread.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheerJeenyus:
Well I already have twrp installed. I meant viperone. And I have 3.18 I think. That was next to hboot
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You have 4.4.3 firmware then. To run the newest versions, you will have to update to the new 4.4.4 firmware. If you are S-Off, it is simple. If you are not, you will either have to go back to stock and take the OTA update, or go to this thread, and search for firmware that matches you MID and CID.

You can also run an older version of ViperOne that was based on 4.4.3. The last release they did for 4.4.3 can be downloaded here.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheerJeenyus:
Yes I believe I am S-ON. So I will need to go to stock first, get s-off, then flash viper? Correct?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
No. If you are s off, the method is super simple. Download firmware from any carrier and flash it to your M8.

If you are s on, you either go back to stock to take the OTA (stock ROM and recovery, unmodified system partition) or you can go to the link I gave you to search for firmware that matches MID (model id) and CID (carrier id). You can find out your MID and CID by using ADB on your PC with the command fastboot getvar all. That will give you all the info you need about your device, including the firmware number.

If anyone here ever ask for a getvar to help you with a problem, this is how you do it. But if you are posting one here; or anywhere publicly on the web; always delete your serial number and IMEI for your own protection.

There are no toolkits.

Just get S-Off here. It costs $25, but you will only pay if it works. It really does give you a lot more freedom with your phone., and is totally worth the money. After that, come back here, and I'll tell you how to update your firmware.

The method is safe and is done with only your phone. No PC needed.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Truthfully, I'm not sure. If you try it and it doesn't work, you should just get a fail message, and the installation will abort. Unlocking the bootloader gives you unlocked access to three partitions, but s off gives you access to all. So it should work.
