[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm not sure at the moment how to stop the update reminder, I think that's what you're asking?

But flashing a custom rom will stop it.

And as far as future updates, firmware and newer roms... None of those are a problem. You're unlocked, rooted and s-off.... You're all set. You can supercid and update firmware easily, then flash the newest roms. And as far as OTA's, no need, you can flash roms based off the newest Android versions far before most even get an ota.

Also, as long as you don't go back to s-on, you'll never need Sunshine again.

See the stickies in general and Q&A sections for help understanding all this. Lots of guides, tutorials, frequently asked questions thread, etc.... To help you learn what all this means. ?

Enjoy!

Edit: You need to be on firmware version of 3.xx to use 4.4.4 based roms. See the following thread for updating yours if needed...

I am kind of stuck here, any idea how to continue?

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

Hi,

AHA, that probably is the answer to that "OTA topic", thanks.

Well I do mind to do a factory reset at the moment, as I have the phone set up and running nicely, I would first like to backup some things.

And as You probably saw just now, I am not even abe to use it, as I have the beautiful HTC text shown in green and nothing is happening anymore :(.

As the firmware also changes the recovery, I am unable to get into TWRP and check the nandroid I made before all this :(.

I feel like the phone will be empty anyway when I get this sorted.

Anyway, thanks for your answer.

If You happen to know how to get out of this loop, I would also appreciate wel here :)

How can I do a factory reset while in hboot?

Ruud
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
strange, 4th option is Check updates when roaming, thats definately ticked off (nice for ISP though)

looks like CyrilBritto is right though and you are stuck now that its already searched for an update.

you can reset from factory recovery, do you still have that?

from memory (i have TWRP now) select recovery from HBOOT, then hold up and tap power to get into stock recovery.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruud Westerhout:
Some update if You allow on my current situation:

-normal boot with POWER button will lead to green HTC text and a sound confirming it is booting, but nothing happens after that for minutes

-connecting to PC confirms connection and adb devices shows the device as

List of devices attached

HT46KWM10264 device

-after a short while the device alerts at the same time I receive an error from HTC sync manager. HTC's alert says "HTC could not connect to the phone, bla bla"

I was able to use ADB to enter te bootloader without immediately starting to upgrade the firmware again (adb reboot bootloader)

I was trying to re-install the recovery (fastboot flash recovery m8-dual-twrp.img) and saw a confirming text:

target reported max download size of 1826418688 bytes

sending 'recovery' (11914 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.479s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.475s]

finished. total time: 1.956s

But the next time I enter bootloader through ADB it does not show the option to go to recovery. Or better HBOOT can be entered by pressing POWER but then it will start the upgrade process again.

Advices as to where to go from here are very welcome.

Ruud

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

I can go into bootloader with ADB

I can enter HBOOT and would probably be able to get into factory reset if I would be able to get the firmware file renamed or deleted.

Is there a way to do this from ADB or FASTBOOT ?

EDIT:

I am able to enter RECOVERY (TWRP did install) through ADB reboot recovery

What would now be better next steps:

-1)restore the nandroid I made, TWRP shows it to be available

-2)any kind of wipe ?

-3)anything else ?

EDIT 2:

I am not a pro in using TWRP, just found out it allows to go to a file manager and I was able to delete te firmware file. Thank God.

So my options are now :

-1)restore te nandroid I made (can it be done if I am on another firmware?)

-2)factory reset through bootloader (now available since I deleted the file)

-3)install another firmware, maybe that is the reason my phone locks up at the moment? If yes, which one is supposed to work correct with a dual sim phone?

I have installed 3.33.401.6_firmware_signed.zip Maybe it was the wrong one?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
i got 3.33.401.6_firmware_signed.zip from the maximusHD rom website for my dual sim and thats the right one.

if you have a twrp backup (in a safe place, not on your internal sd) how about going back to stock factory using the image from the stock backups thread:

0P6BIMG_M8_DUGL_K44_SENSE60_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.12_R_Radio_1.18.30306251.05G_30.57.306251.00L_release_381655_combined_signed.zip

i can confirm that the image works fine.

rename as OP6BIMG.ZIP and copy to external SD

HBOOT will find it automatically and ask to install.

at least you then have a clean sheet to start over again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi,

for some reason XDA does not alert me on new messages inside this thread. Therefore I am a little lame in reacting.

EDIT: Let me correct that, it is not XDA, it is tapatalk which was too quiet !

In the meantime I have decided to use TWRP and restore te nandroid I made.

I restarted the phone after that and now it booted normal. (big relief)

Of course it immediately 'complaints' that there is a new firmware to be had, but at least the phone is back :)

I actually downloaded the firmware I installed from this side

http://llabtoofer.com/2014/11/15/htc-one-m8-dual-sim-maximushd-2-0-0/

It was proposed from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57193352&highlight=dual#post57193352

and I took the ROM also.

My bad, after something goes slightly wrong, I tend to stop the process of upgrading. As I have been an hour or so without a phone, I am very glad to see it back and do not know should I really start installing the MaximusHD ROM or not (yet).

Give me some time, I will come back to the flashing train again (as usual).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
as you know you must.

good you are back online anyway.

slightly off topic,

MaximusHD rom is well worth trying.

i used it for a while, then went back to stock to take an official update to 4.4.4 while it was there and TWRP backed it up.

but the stock rom felt 'slaggy' (slower and laggy from HD2 days) so i went back to MaximusHD and will stick with that until Android L.

Hi,

actually,

if I am now entering bootloader I do not see the firmware anymore.

During the updating process, it clearly stated : OS-3.33.401.6

Now it just says : OS-

Did I "reset" the firmware while restoring my nandroid? or would I actually be set to go and install the MaximusHD ROM ?

Then save your money, but have fun updating your firmware except from your carrier when Lollipop comes out.

And of course having the Harman/Kardon mod is always nice, but not if you are s on.

And when the new firmware comes out from your carrier, you will have to re-lock your bootloader to flash it, then go through HTC Dev to unlock it again.

It's only $25. And you have a $700 device. Really dude?

Checked imei number upfront, everything seemed ok.

Works fine on Telstra and Optus network, only not on Vodafone.

Called them up and found out its blocked by them. They need proof of purchase to unblock which I don't have.

If I root my HTC would that make it work on the Vodafone network?

Would that be a possibility?

My device is S-OFF and i have changed the Bootloader with the TWRP Bootloader. Now i want to return back to the Stock in order to receive the OTA updates, because with the cyanogenMod i lost some of the fuctionality of the phota (e.g. the second back camera, the extra Eye experience, the Blinkfeed and the Dot View...)

Your CID is not listed in the top post, but searching the thread for your CID, it looks like the WWE files will work for you.

You need to install the stock ROM

and stock recovery

to get and install OTAs properly.

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

Nothing listed in Device Manager? Even with a brick you will usually see QHSUSB_DLOAD.

Where did you get the OTA? Need to know

exactly

what you flashed. Info you supplied is too vague.

If you flashed something (for instance, file for another device, which is possible with s-off) that overwrote hboot, radio, or partition table, you are bricked.

Screen not coming on (and no charge LED) right after flashing something, it sounds pretty bad. If its indeed bricked, you can try JTAG. Otherwise, yes a motherboard replacement may be needed. But its something you should have HTC do, not do yourself.

Seemingly sounds interesting, the only time I've encountered my phone storage being in a non-partitioned state was when my ROM's (I was running both Sense and CMod, highly don't recommend it now) disappeared.

I suggest going into recovery mode and format your /data/ folder. This will wipe all your pictures and music etc, or whatever is stored on your internal storage.

But ONLY do this if your internal says 0 MB.

Don't select "system" to format otherwise you will lose your OS.

No, you don't Unroot for any of this.

I have the HTC M8 GPE straight from Google store running 4.4.4 build KTU84P with S-ON. Been trying to flash OTA 5.0.1 without any success. If I use stock recovery, I got the error "...invalid CID...", and if I try other recoveries like CWM & TWRP, I got the error "...your device is 4.4.3...". Fastboot-getvar also confirms its CID is GOOGL001. Phone has already been unlocked and rooted. The bootloader screen actually shows the "unlocked" and "tampered" labels. Am I missing something else?? Also, I did get the OTA notification for a few days, and it failed at the CID check stage and now that OTA notification has disappeared.

S-off is required to install an official OTA? That doesn't make any sense.

Also, OTA won't install with custom recovery (CWM, TWRP), at least not without some hacking trickery.

The phone should OTA fine with unlocked bootloader and stock ROM, as long as you have stock recovery. CID check fail is odd. Something else is going on. . . .

There is no concrete number to support it, but that's what some people say on the M7 thread. It roughly started from this post which someone finally confirmed the requirement of S-off to manually flash OTA zips. It should more or less apply to the M8 as well so that's what I'm going to try.
