[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifyre:
Can anyone point me to a set of directions to restore my phone to bone stock including S-ON? I want to trade it in to Verizon for an S7 (I'm on the payment plan).

My Phone:

Model: m8wl

Android: 6.0.1

ROM: CM 13

TWRP: 3.0.0-1

*** Software status: Modified ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

M8WLV PVT SHIP S-OFF

CID-VZW__001

HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

RADIO-1.14.20.0930

I think I need to follow these directions (Thanks xunholyx):

Relock your bootloader first. In fastboot: fastboot oem lock

Then download a RUU.zip

There are two ways to flash the RUU.zip

#1: Rename the zip to 0P6BIMG, place it onto your extSD (formatted to FAT32), and boot into bootloader. The zip will flash automatically. You will only have to hit vol up to confirm the flash, then the power button to reboot. When the flash is done, remove or rename the zip from your extSD, otherwise it'll try to update again every time you boot to bootloader.

#2: Place the zip into your fastboot folder. Then

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip M8_6.12.401.4_WWE_FullStock.zip (it should stop around 75% to 90% ~ that's normal and wont go to 100% until you enter)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

The I have two questions:

1) Does anyone know which RUU to download?

2) Does anyone know how to get S-ON or if the above directions will get me to S-ON? (I've tried to search but there is so much noise about people wanting to get S-OFF or having S-ON and needing help I haven't been able to find anything)

hey [MENTION=3741261]Einwod[/MENTION] , forgot to say about wwe6.12.401.4 that i wanted to "0P6BIMG it". found this if anyone needs. wont wipe twrp. just flash twice , of course , to make it stick.

thank you again for all help.:good:

I was off XDA for the weekend (as is almost always the case) so sorry I didn't get to respond to your posts.

But the firmware there here is kept very up to date. It has signed, official "wipe" firmware zips, as well as "no wipe" zips.

The following, also has a "no wipe" zip, with a more up-to-date version of TWRP inserted (3.0.0.1): http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-6-12-401-4-wipe-intsd-twrp-3-0-t3323392

1) dottat has been taken down all his RUU links, unfortunately (example, here). Not sure if there are mirrors around, or if its allowed for folks to repost (or even discuss?). But its worth searching.

Do NOT, repeat do NOT run any other versions RUU. Since the Verizon version has different partitioning (due to being CDMA variant) running another version's RUU will lead to a radio brick (phone boots, but no signal). And the solution to fix that was to run the proper VZN RUU. But since the VZN RUUs are no longer available, you may be

really screwed

.

2) May be a thread/mod for this, not sure. But some have advised its

not

worth going back to s-on. It can cause some problems, and some handsets actually come from factory s-off. So as long as everything else is returned to stock, you are probably okay returning it s-off.

If you do try to go back s-on, be sure to verify the mod works for Verizon M8. Otherwise, you may do some permanent damage (similar to the warning above for other versions RUUs).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
I imagine you are already unlocked as you have S-OFF. If not, then yes, unlock with HTCdev.com. It's a simple process. You may also want to try this thread firstYour firmware already appears to be MM so there won't be any problems with a custom ROM From your MID it seems the original CID was T-Mobile U.S.

Yes, you'll need to unlock the bootloader (by either method previously indicated). You can't install custom recovery unless the bootloader is unlocked (s-off does not bypass/override this requirement).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
M8 does not have fast charge capability as far as I'm aware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
M8 supports QuickCharge 2.0 as discussed at length on this thread, and others. This is a the proprietary Qualcomm Quick Charge technology, doesn't work with Samsung Fast Charge. M8 will quick charge with any charger with the QC 2.0 logo on it, as well as QC 3.0 (but only at QC 2.0 speeds).

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

You can see some discussion of this (whether heat from QC is harmful) on the thread I linked above. Its debatable either way. On one hand, the phone is designed for Quick Charge, and you'll likely find that both Qualcomm and HTC claim its safe. Personally, I don't for the most part have any qualms about using a device as the manufacturer intends it.

On the other hand, charging at the batter faster, results in higher temperatures. Which technically, is in theory always going to be harmful for the long term life of the battery. One new phone, the OnePlus 3 offsets the power management, and therefore heat to the wall charger itself using OnePlus's proprietary "Dash Charge" technology. This is despite the fact that the phone's Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset would be able to support QC 3.0. OnePlus maintains that offsetting the heat load to the charger is better for the phone/battery.

Purely anecdotal: I use QC2.0 charger only in my car, since if using Google Maps for navigation drains the battery about as fast as the standard charger can replace it. But I never bothered to get a QC2.0 wall charger, since I rarely have need to charge that fast at home - the standard wall charger is just fine in almost all circumstances except in the car. My M8 is over 2 years old, and with occasional QC2.0 use in the car, the battery is still going strong (no negative effects that I can tell).

The drivers need to beinstalled correctly. There are two videos on the page where you downloaded the tool. Follow either one to make sure the drivers are properly installed. It should take no more than 5 minutes to do so. I see you are S-OFF also. Which means you probably already have a custom ROM onboard, hence why you cannot update OTA.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
I'm not sure that makes a difference, although I do understand where you are coming from.

Flashing WWE firmware to his device should work for getting his radio.img to what he wants. There are no extra steps besides being S-Off and having a GSM device afaik

I flashed WWE to be updated before my carrier, and have had zero issues. I'm not sure if the user has an RUU available for his device (I'm too lazy to scroll up ;)), but S-Off and custom firmware should be no problem, and would be worth giving a shot especially if there is an RUU to fall back on.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Just go for option 1.

Option 2 is for other person with 4G problem.

Your device MID 0P6B11000 is a Asian device (M8x).

Download RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_WWE_4.19.707.2_Radio_1.25.21331147A1.06G_20.69.4196.01_F_release_414204_signed.exe

from http://androidruu.com/?developer=M8

and put it on desktop for easy access.

You already install the latest HTC USB drivers, right ? When you tried the fastboot thing.

In case not sure - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4

You need Windows PC with USB2.0

Connect the device to PC (put it on bootloader as your screenshot here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67888265&postcount=4148)

Right click the exe and select run as administrator, follow the instructions, accept, update, next, next, blabla until it complete.

Once done - check for OTA, you should have 2 OTAs 4.19.707.4 and 6.14.707.1

That's your goal to have Marshmallow.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This guy's device is all kinds of weird at this point.

I think he needs to clarify, in detail, the steps taken to this point. Since from the info given here and on another thread (to which I responded, not realizing you guys are helping here already - please don't post your question to multiple threads!!!! But thanks to [MENTION=830797]ckpv5[/MENTION] for pointing this out):

1) MID doesn't correspond to firmware number (as already noted)

2) Phone is s-off, done by him or a previous owner?

3) Bootloader is locked, was it at some point unlocked, then returned to locked?

4) If the bootloader was not unlocked, how did he try to flash a ROM (as indicated in the thread I linked)

5) Was TWRP installed on the device? What version?

All this is crazy confusing. Yes, its possible for us to give guidance so the phone can be fixed, without the user clarifying the above points. But at least IMO it makes a heck of a lot more sense for them to clarify what exactly was done (and in what sequence) so we can more accurately determine the way forward, what the user knows how to do, etc.
