microsoft visual C++ must be installed in windows to run a ruu exe. C++ is installed by HTC sync manager. (C++2005 & C++2010) but exe doesn't run. i also had this problem. it was fixed after installing C++2008. if your pc has 32 bit operating system, install following file & retry.

Hi. My friend bought an HTC One m8 and asked me to update it to marshmallow. After I went to bootloader screen I saw that previous owner had s-off and super cid. My question is what firmware I should flash for marshmallow because I couldn't find anything for HTC One m8-wlv 0p6b200 cid Verizon. Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I see the confusion here, which is caused by your loose use of the terms, and lack of specifics.

You keep referring to "flashing a ROM" and "stock" ROM, which is confusing for a couple reasons:

- What you are trying to flash is an RUU (ROM update utility) which is not just a ROM (which is just 2 partitions, system and boot.img) but rather an entire stock factory image (something like 41 partitions, including hboot, radio, and a lot of other things). ROM and RUU are 2 very different things, and how they are flashed is very different. So you should be careful about using the right term.

- You should have listed the exact file name (and source link would have been good too), instead of just saying "stock ROM" which isn't enough info at all to know what you flashed. Always try to be as detailed and specific as possible when asking for help (especially with file names). It avoids confusion, prevents wasting time (as we ask you info you should have provided in the first place), and helps us help you.

TWRP isn't required or suggested at this point (running the RUU 4.19.707.2). I would suggest sticking to the current path as outlined by others in running the RUU. If that doesn't work, we can try other methods, which will require TWRP. But we'll give further guidance at that point (if needed) - don't try anything with TWRP for now.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1) what is your current rom? ( custom or stock )

2) if you like, there is a stock ruu zip for mm.

(i) at first update hboot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911975644

(ii) flash ruu zip https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911973442

3) you can get further help in verizon section. http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general

good luck.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
AFAIK, you can't get the RUUs or firmware for the Verizon version on XDA anymore. The threads by dottat all had the download links removed "by request" of someone or other (Verizon or HTC?).

Your friend shouldn't have bought the Verizon version. My opinion, this version shouldn't be purchased for use by anyone but actual VZN users in the US. Can your friend return it?

If you can't find the VZN version firmware or RUU (and it

does

need to be for VZN, other versions firmware will radio brick the phone!).; the other option is to simply install custom recovery TWRP (may already be installed, based on the fact its s-off and bootloader unlocked) and just flash a custom or stockish ROM Marshmallow ROM, which should work on the current configuration. But it has to be a ROM that supports the Verizon version M8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzjay:
Ok, I installed C++ 2008 and RUU . Exe launched properly...

Now the problem is that when updating process and rebooting the phone in recovery mode, it keeps the phone on the HTC logo for 30 minutes nad the RUU Windows keep on Step 0/6 Sending...

Please check picture...It is written that update process take about 10 Minutes... It is like it can not send data into the phone... I tried directly in fasboot usb mode and it is doing the same...

1) download the following zip.

2) rename into 0P6BIMG

3) copy to an external sd card with pc

4) go to bootloader & flash through hboot

5) after flashing, delete 0P6BIMG. (if not, this zip becomes a trouble when you go to bootloader as it asks to flash)

6) run exe again

Thanks my friend it worked. But now i wanted to ask you because we live in Australia and we dont have verizon if i want to install Insertcoin Rom do i choose verizon on the aroma or international. I am asking because we dont want the verizon apps and settings. The strange thing is that at the back of the phone it says 0P6B120. Thanks again
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
version (europe, asia, .....) doesn't affect to flash it. you can flash it as your device is s-off. hboot flash into 4.19.707.2 with flashing that zip. after flash that, you can see the os 4.18.708.2 has changed to 4.19.707.2 in your bootloader. it makes the path to ruu which you are going to update.

** don't try to make your device s-on ever. if you did so, you may have to face many problems. and when you use oem commands, don't use without a guidance. it may lead to a dead in device with some oem commands.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
does 4G, 3G work in your device without a problem? exactly I have no knowledge on custom rom. but I think, NuSenSeveN is better than insertcoin as it is an upgraded one.

exactly your device is a refurbished one. that's why motherboard doesn't match your back housing. it is a work of a cunning seller. and also the most of m8 devices which can be ordered online now are refurbished devices.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vincenzo697:
I will try out and tell you how I go. She sold it to him as brand new, I was going crazy with the numbers that's why I asked here. ??
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Picking Verizon won't load Verizon bloat apps, that isn't the point. The point is probably to indicate what version of the phone you have, which is Verizon. Picking "international" may load the wrong kernel, and the ROM won't work; or may be to load proper build.prop or similar settings.

But you may check the InsertCoin thread, and verify that. Every dev sets up AROMA a bit differently.

The model number on the backplate is wrong, since the vendor swapped the backplate to remove the Verizon logo. If the phone was claimed to be factory new, and an international variant, I would suggest your friend get a refund or exchange. Especially since the intent is to update (which you can't do by "official" means), and there are enough differences in the Verizon version that its simply not the right product for your friend.

thanks for help and good night
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Everything you need is in this post.

The instructions for installing the firmware is at the top. Scroll down and look for the 6.20.531.5 firmware (CID T-MOB010 ~

MID 0P6B13000), that's what you'll need to download.

Good luck!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
that becomes complicated as you don't follow instructions properly.

*run stock ruu exe.

(i) mid & cid must match

(ii) os number in bootloader must be equal

i didn't tell you to apply from recovery. i told you to flash from sd card.

1) when you rename, rename into 0P6BIMG only. not to 0P6BIMG.zip. rename with copy & paste. (when file is in PC)

2) then copy and paste to sd card

3) stay inserted sd card to phone. now go to bootloader. wait for a little time. after zip verified, press vol+ & update. then press power button & reboot.

4) run exe.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
That only applies when renaming it from your PC with file extensions hidden. It has to be 0P6BIMG.zip

With file extensions hidden on PC, renaming it to that ends up 0P6BIMG.zip.zip That will not work, of course.

I always suggest to put it onto the phones storage before renaming it, that way the .zip extension won't be hidden. But in the long run, 0P6BIMG.zip is the correct way it should be named.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

Please help
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
android version doesn't change there. os number in bootloader only changes by that.

it seems, thereis a problem in your PC or in USB data cable. and also use USB port in PC directly (don't use USB HUB). may be exe file has become corrupted.

other option:

while looking at video, follow it.

1) copy zip file as shown in following video guide.

2) rename that zip file as early did( 0P6BIMG ) . then flash (update) through bootloader.

Yes. Do a backup first (re-flash your custom recovery), flash a ROM like ARHD, then restore your backup, but don't restore the boot partition. The system partition you've already went back to stock on; so that is already taken care of; but you should be able to not restore that as well. I'm not positive about that though (I never worry about OTAs), so you might be better just restoring that as well.

Then go back to the stock recovery and take the update.
