U can try to flash the ruu before you unlock they bootloader. But if you want to unlock the bootloader go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ and follow the instructions. If you need adb/fastboot use this https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2FyBGshXWIxeHdPRy1zWXdwM1E/view?usp=drivesdk. Extract the zip and and go to the only folder there, adb, platform, platform tool and hold shift while right click and select open command prompt here and u got yourself adb and fastboot. ONLY WORKS FOR WINDOWS.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamouzje:
Thanks for your reply, but I have a couple of questions that I need answers for them .

Can I flash ruu with my current device? without unloock bootloader? from your reply it seems I can, If yes how I can flash it need sorce..

My important question is can I downgrade my device from 6.0 to 5.1.1 or 4.4.4? lets say I want 4.4.4 kitkat, what should I do to flash it.

Thanks in advanced
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinchao740:
For ruu I need to find the right ruu for your device. Get adb and fastboot on a PC (link in the previous post) and with device powered on, type "adb fastboot reboot" your phone will reboot to been otloader and type "fastboot getvar all" and post or pm me the result here. I don't recommend downgrading because your current firmware is 6.0 and it might cause problem with lower versions of android. RUU actually require bootloader to be locked to work.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
To flash RUU on s-on device you need a locked bootloader or relocked so if the bootloader is unlocked you have to relock it before flashing RUU

About downgrading : you can't downgrade s-on device firmware but you can flash an older rom ( without issues )

If you really need to downgrade you need to s-off your device first ( which not recommended now )

EDIT: as there was a wrong instruction

Post the result of (( fastboot getvar all )) after removing serialno and imei,someone will redirect you to the right path
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
"adb fastboot reboot" won't do anything at all.

The proper command to get to bootloader is adb reboot bootloader,

RUUs don't require the bootloader to be locked if you are S-Off, and you need to be S-Off to downgrade firmware or run an RUU that contains an earlier version than what you are currently running.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I did notice there was some discrepancy regarding WiFi calling support on Viper, depending on the version. Although I didn't really have time to determine the exact details. So good job checking that out.

Should be okay, unless its Kitkat (newer firmware may have some issues KK). But on the other hand, I don't personally advocate using an OS version that is too old.

Is there a newer ICE version that supports WiFi calling?

Go to the Play Store, search for the app, and uncheck auto-update. Or even better (what I do) is to open Play Store settings, and choose not to auto-update all apps, then you can choose what to update and what to not update when you get a notification that there are new versions of apps you have.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Are you downloading from the HTC website, or the automatic install when you connect the phone. Either way, try the other method.

Otherwise, HTC drivers have been posted on XDA from time to time. My understanding they only fairly recently updated the drivers to work properly on Win10; so you'll want something that is not too old.

You might try this one (can't personally vouch for it): https://xdaforums.com/htc-one/development/driver-htc-driver-4-17-0-001-2016-06-20-t3402216

Unlocking HTC One M8

Dear all, dear ckpv5 and redpoint73,

First of all, thank you for your fast answers!

[MENTION=830797]ckpv5[/MENTION]: I did what you told me --> install TWRP 3.0.2-0 then restore Marshmallow backup 6.12.166.4. My phone is working again! Thank you for that!

[MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION]: I want to thank you as well for your answer and pointing out, what main problems I caused with old methods etc.

As both of you mentioned (and I was not aware of that), there seems to be no way to unlock the phone nowadays. Is this true? No Goldcard / Hexediting or SID 11111111 ?

If it is like that, may I ask you which online service is reliable for unlocking a phone? Are these unlocks will stay on my phone even if I put different custom ROMs on it or am I not allowed to change anything on my phone after the unlock?

Thank you again for your help, I really appreciate it!

Cheers,

Michael
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
that's not right

you can s-off your device by using sunshine for 25 USD and use your device as you like

nothing will change after achieving s-off until you decide to change something

but not recommended to spend the dollars for s-off now

flashing custom rom is just replacing your system partition with the new OS

He is talking about SIM unlock.

S-Off won't help to SIM unlock a GSM device.

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

Once it is SIM unlocked, you can put any custom ROM that you like, it will stay SIM unlocked.

I have no idea about online service that offer SIM unlock code, someone will advise you later.

What I know is you can get the SIM unlock code from the carrier it is locked to and you need stock ROM (you have it currently running) to put in the code.

@ ckpv5: The thing with my Carrier is, that they want 100€ (or if I am able to find a nice guy in the shop, a minimum of 50€) for unlocking the phone... seems to be pretty expensive for me...therefore I wanted to change my CID myself in the first place. 10$ would definitly a price that I would like to pay!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Do you plan to use it with other carrier ? If still using same carrier, no need SIM unlock .. you can install any custom ROM that you like on it. As you said you want to get rid Twitter & Facebook .. you can do this once rooted or on custom ROM.

Hi. I am currently on a custom rom. Latest Skydragon. I want to revert to stock, but my backup is corrupted. Can I intsall stock rom ruu over custom rom?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Yeah .. why not ? As long as you have the correct RUU version for your device.

If your device is S-On and unlocked, relock it first before you install RUU and the RUU must be same version as your current firmware (as seen on booloader) or higher version (cannot use a lower version than current firmware)

to relock run command - fastboot oem lock

If your device is S-Off, no need to relock bootloader and you can install a lower version RUU if there is no same or higher version.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
100€ or even 50€ sounds like robbery to me!

I can't personally vouch for any particular SIM unlock service. But in the past, I've seen a number of XDA members have success with cellunlocker.net. I believe they only charge you money, if the SIM unlock is successful, which is definitely a feature you want to look for in a vendor.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wreckless2050:
I've got a Verizon model and it's on 4.4.4, when I attempt to update to 6.0 it fails every time. I have 17gb free, and it's not rooted. I tried to use one of the rooting apps a long time ago and it failed, I don't think that would have messed with it.

I should note that I'm in wifi, and the phone doesn't have mobile service, I planned on unlocking it after I updated it to 6.0 and switching to a different service.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I don't believe the Verizon version (along with other US carrier versions) will OTA update, if not connected to the particular (in this case, Verizon) carrier network.

Your best bet, is to update by RUU. You can find RUUs here: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845

If the Marshmallow RUU fails, you may need to find and flash the firmware 6.21.605.3 first, then RUU. And I'm not sure where to find the firmware 6.21.605.3 (for s-on, it needs to be signed, official firmware).

Otherwise, the Lollipop RUU should work fine (flashing firmware is only necessary upgrading to MM on US devices)

Also note that the RUU will wipe the phone, so backup any data you want to keep accordingly, before RUU.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wreckless2050:
The HTC Sync manager is allowing me to do it, I didn't realize I needed active service to perform the update :o

I probably could have just unlocked the bootloader and upgraded straight to CM13 or 14, but this stuff gets confusing.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Just a heads up, you need s-off on the Verizon version, to unlock the bootloader.

Also, you would need to update the firmware to run most of the current ROMs, anyway.

I hate to interrupt the sim unlock conversation but I'm needing help and I'm hoping this thread is where I can ask so someone can help me... I am trying to find the XML for turning off the call connect status tone, also called voice connection tone or call connect tone.

I don't use bluetooth headsets or anything, but every time I use my phone the call status tone for connections is killing me... I recently had an ear issue that has made this beep so much more painful... and holding the phone away from my ear while waiting for the beep to pass has caused people to hang up on me

I have rooted my phone and have kitkat 444 but do not see any settings menu options or phone settings options for turning it off or controlling its volume. All HTC one M8 software installs seem to have removed the "Call alerts" branch from Settings>Call>Call Alerts>Call Status Tones, so I'm trying to find the xml responsible for these settings so I can disable them there.

On a side note if anyone knows of an app that could search inside files (including xml with various file extensions) for text, and can do so recursively from the root, I would really appreciate it. aGREP can only search outside root for strings and I haven't tested whether it can search regardless of file extension or search in xml.
