It doesn't matter if someone sends you the file or not. Firewater requires an online server component that no longer exists. Firewater won't work any more, no matter what you try. Sunshine is the only feasible method. Some folks may also reference javacard or similar for s-off, but it costs much more (or you need to find a repair shop that has one, which will charge you for the service). So again, sunshine is the only method that makes sense.

Also note that you don't need s-off for most mods (root, custom ROMs, kernels, etc.). S-off is only needed for specific things such as changing CID, unlock SIM, etc.

I don't think Einwod would be linking it for you, if it didn't work. Although it should be clarified that it is a full RUU (full "factory" image, all partitions) not just firmware. But it may arguably make for a cleaner install and a better fully Euro "baseline".

You will also need to follow the instructions on the following post, to properly install the RUU (relocking bootloader not necessary since you are s-off): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6

But if you intend to flash a custom ROM, another approach is to only flash the firmware from here: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792

Method #2 is what I would personally recommend (it is the method I use) and similar to the previously recommended RUU, I would suggest the Euro Firmware 6.12.401.4

If you pick the No Wipe firmware with TWRP, you can then just flash the custom ROM (after updating the firmware) using TWRP.

Good Afternoon guys...

Desperately in need of some guidance.

Decided to flash my m8 from RR 5.8.3 b/c i found it unstable, constantly rebooting, turning off w/o warning etc.

Decided to try Beanstalk 6.0. Went into twrp, flashed it, then tried to flash GApps micro, initially attempting wrong version 7.1.1 and advised to flash 5.1 instead.

Did that, and got an error message about not having enough space. **odd**

So i wiped cache & dalvik and not thinking wiped internal storage as well.....

so of course when i now reboot, I have no OS.

Took me a while to get the timing down to get back to bootloader, from there got into twrp, though the internal storage appears to mount in windows, I'm unable to copy any file to it. When i attempt to select mount the from twrp menu, I am still unable to copy files to it.

Tried adb sideload, was able to sideload the same Beanstalk ROM, but when i tried to sideload GApps, I got a message about the ADB version being out of date.

Downloaded latest developer tools from Google, when i try to sideload GApps now, I get the message:

"adb server (31) doesn't match the client (36)"

I've tried older copies of adb but still receive some version of that same message.

Brain is a little fuddled from lack of sleep (been up all night trying to correct my mistake), and would appreciate any help I can get to get this device functional again.

Thank you in advance!

Edit: Also when i try format data in twrp, I get a message

"unable to locate storage device"

I followed exactly the same steps as mentioned.

Ok. So here is what I did to get through the OTA error "Variant System Version"

1. Changed MID to HTC Europe - 0P6B10000 . Earlier it was T-Mobile 0P6B13000. I had to root my phone though to be able to do this.

2. No change to my super CID

3. Changed TWRP recovery to stock recovery

4. Downloaded OTA update and installation SUCCESSFUL.

Tried factory rest but nothing is changed...

After failing I can go to recovery or fastboot, but it is not being recognized by the ADB on my desktop.

M8 vs E8

Hy guys,

im really new here and in the "HTC world" but I own android deviceses so I have the basic knowledge about Android.

So my question is , im planning to buy a new phone , my old optimus 2x is a bit too old now :D so after a bunch of searching I cant decide between the M8 and E8 . My primary priorities was the "smaller" screen size , qualcomm latest or almost latest soc , nfc , 2 gb or higher ram , good camera for daily usage , and so on . So it should be a normal high end phone what i can really call a phone and not a phablet (for me over 5inch screen except the new moto x because the voice controll [it really matters when you drive a car ] ) . As I see there isnt as much as development topics for the E8 and its not that popular as the M8 , but I think its a better one ( I never see any of them in real and I only like the grey matte the other colors of the E8 is terrible ) .

What do you think why should I buy the M8 ? (for me its heavier , and the 13MPX cam sounds better even if its slower , and the IR function is not so important , but as i see there is more support from the HTC and from the XDA community behind it )

Please Help me decide in the days , I want it under the Christmas tree :)

(Sorry about my bad english )
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No one can or should make up your mind. Weigh your needs, budget and wants. You've already stated the main differences.... And yes Development will likely remain very slow for the E.

Decide what your priorities are and buy the device that suits you. ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewe93:
Why is that slow the dev behind the E ?

btw thanks for your suggestions !
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Because the devs don't own it. It's too obscure. They already have M8's....they're not going to trade them in for E8's.

Development will likely increase a little, slowly.... When/if devs with older devices pick up E8's....but it'll never be too busy I'd guess.

If you are on gpe fitmware then you might need to convert to sense if you want to use a bigger gapps

If you are already on sense then try this

After you flash the rom and before flash anything else

*Goto wipe/advanced wipe

*check system

*choose repair file system

*and choose resize file system

Now hopefully you can flash any gapps package and anything to system
