Update M8 to Marshmallow ...?

I need some assistance since I think I have gotten to the part that I’m going in circles…

Htc One M8 HK edition…Sprint.. Version 4.25.654.18

I’ve had the device for about a yr……

I Started messing with it for 1 reason…Sprint Connection Optimizer..…after dealing with it for this long I finally had to get it off..

So far I have…and thanks to The forum…Unlocked Bootloader….rooted.. S-off…

I have not decided what direction I want to go with it but leaning towards Converting to the Google Play edition…(If you have any input on this I will take it)

I’m currently stuck in a loop though and after weeks of research and a dozen different tries.. thought I’d seek out some help..

I want to update to Marshmallow and other than going back to stock I cant find a way to do it…I am getting the OTA notification and it’s starting the installation but on rebooting it’s rebooting to bootloader and to twrp and I have no idea what to do…

With S-off I’m skeptical about tinkering with it too much incase I brick it.

Thanks in advance,

*Fixed by having AT&T disable HD Voice in my account*

AT&T M8, S-Off latest firmware from AT&T. I've tried a couple of MM roms, notably SkyDragon 2.0 (my Tile app won't work due to a flaw in 6.0's bluetooth stack which was fixed in 6.0.1) and CandySix 1.0.

In both cases, I seem to miss phone calls while on LTE connections.

I'm taking an educated guess that it has to do with AT&T's recent VoLTE roll out.

Has anyone else noticed this and/or come up with a fix other than disabling LTE?

Thanks

You must be completely stock to take ota updates,otherwise they will not flash. Simple, you must be stock recovery as well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkahoi:
Pardon My ignorance but a few questions...

1. Other than OTA...is there a way to update without going back stock..?

2.Assuming I do have to go back stock....I'm going to assume I have to unroot and s-off all over again..?

3. If I go all out and convert to GPE...everytime I need to update...will I have to come back all the way back to stock update and then restore...?

Thanks again.

probably a pretty technical question

i have a fully unlocked superCID htc one m8 that until last night was running happily on GPe. since last night i have been stuck in a loop of fail to decrypt and then when i go into fastboot with usb to try and reflash or delete my data or anything else i get remote failed. im a pretty technical guy ive been googling for hours and i really dont know what else to try am i bricked completely or am i missing something simple. i should note it was just a random occurrence that caused this told GP to update all apps before bed partway through phone rebooted and now my conundrum

also within fastboot anytime i attempt to reboot into bootloader or the ruu mode its just does a full normal reboot

any help is appreciated
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
1. Yes, if you find an unrooted stock nandroid.

2. Unroot, yes. S-OFF no. It stays unless you go S-ON. Not recommended.

3. Only if there is no other way to update. I have absolutely no experience of GPE roms.

I believe the developer from Xtended Settings pulled the whole thing because he was getting pissed off because people were complaining/asking stupid questions too much in his opinion. Did he send out 2.1.9 or does someone have this version?

There are a few final fixes which are included in there.

Update problem to marshmallow 6.0

Hey today i bricked my phone. I managed to unbrick it with new rom but now i have a new problem. So basicly what i did was i downloaded the first stock rom which was 5.0.1 and now i want to upgrade it to 6.0. So my phone said that new update is redy so i wanted to install it. During the installation my phone just turns of and goes to fastboot and it does not do anything else so i need to reboot my phone again, and if i check the the version it still has not changed to new 6.0. Basicly my problem is when i install the update it starts to like update but it boots to fastboot and then nothing else will hapen. If anyone can help me please do it, im new to HTC so i dont know much about it.

Yes.

Make a backup in TWRP, run the official Sprint H/K RUU from HTC's US website, then restore your nandroid.

In the link I provided, scroll down to the "Manual System Update Instructions" and read them. The RUU download is at the end of the instructions.

After awhile the phone just turns on again and updates havent been made.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
TWRP is a custom recovery. You cannot use it to flash OTAs. You must have the stock recovery image for your device. I told you this in the previous post. We need to know what the output is from: fastboot getvar all. First remove your IMEI and serial numbers before posting the results. I think you are rooted but just don't realise it. Is the a SuperSU app in your app drawer?

Go to this thread. You will find the stock unrooted nandroid for your device in post #1. Look for your CID number. The stock recovery image will be in post #4. Read carefully and follow the instructions in post #1. You can use TWRP 2.8.7.0 to restore the backup.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
It might not be rooted now, but it looks like it probably was at one time. The version-main is blank, and that happens from a bug in older versions of TWRP.

This method WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE! So make sure to backup anything important to you.

Download this RUU.

Rename it to RUU.zip (if you don't see ".zip" at the end of the file with its original name, just rename it to RUU, the .zip extension is aready there) and put it into your fastboot folder.

You'll need to relock your bootloader first if it is unlocked now, since you are S-On (check for the locked/unlocked/relocked status in your bootloader). In fastboot: fastboot oem lock

Then

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip RUU.zip

After the flash is done

fastboot reboot bootloader then

fastboot getvar all and you should see 6.12.401.4 next to "version-main"

Congratulations! You have the stock Marshmallow ROM.

EDIT: I see [MENTION=3741261]Einwod[/MENTION] has given you a response before I posted this. Both methods will work.

His method will allow you to use the OTA method, mine will simply flash the newest firmware and stock ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-FayeHTC:
I apologize in advance as I'm sure this has been asked toomany times to count, but I have searched and searched thread after thread to see if I can find a solution for about 23 hrs straight, I'm pretty much out of time & panicking now that I messed up beyond fixing. Any advice, help, or a point in the right direction to the right post would be very much appreciated!!!

So, the problem is, I'm not 100% sure but I think I have "soft bricked" my phone... I gained s-off through Sunshine about a week ago, I have been reading & researching how to root my phone for updating to a custom ROM running 6.0 MM for months now trying to prevent any issues & be as well educated as possible...

Last night I finally gained root access using Kingroot, then switching over superSU BUT of course, I had the problem with the binaries. I installed TWRP app to perform the recovery flash to ext SD because I do have a PC, but it's a work computer so I don't have administrator rights to install any programs/apps on the PC such as ADB, Flashify, etc.

Before I decided to restart my phone I had SuperSU running the # sign in the notifications center (re: the binaries), I also had the TWRP manager I chose my device model, but I did not install any files (at least I don't think I did). I was most concerned on my current backup & flashing that to my extSD. Which is what I thought I had done, or maybe I didn't do anything at all? BTW- I have removed the SD card & inserted into my PC to see what files were on it, and nothing!! Nothing at all to do with SuperSU nor TWRP (I have since installed the latest update SuperSU zip file on that card). All I know is I cannot get my phone on past the Verizon screen, I can perform a hard boot & get back into hboot /fastboot, I have all options on the menu, and have tried every one of them minus the 'factory data reset', 'apply from phone storage' or 'ramdump'. I would have typed in the information that the screen says in HBOOT but my phone literally just died from the screen being on so long :-/ I will add that info if needed once I can power it back up without use of the charging cable.

Any help on what to do would be so greatly appreciated as apparently I'm freaking out & way in over my head not knowing what exactly happened!!! Thanks as always...

Follow the instructions I gave you yesterday. Do not lock the bootloader. Press power and volume up until screen goes black, then slide to volume down. This will start the device in bootloader mode. Reflash TWRP if necessary and follow the instructions to go back to stock.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Agreed that its originally an AT&T version, s-off and SuperCID (but still AT&T MID), and apparently had 708 firmware flashed to it. I'm guessing it was unsigned firmware, for it to flash with the wrong MID.

I suppose one question to ponder for that user, is the 708 (HTC_622) the "stock" firmware and software they want to be on; or if they want to convert to some other version. Since if they are changing the MID anyway, they can convert this to just about any region/CID version.

For instance, are all the bands used by the local carrier (3G and LTE, if applicable) working properly on the phone presently?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poussyf:
Device is working well, but i want to get an OTA update (e.g 5.0.1 or 6.x) with root and unroot easily.

All devices in my country are from europe or an at&t unlocked version (like my note3).

So, if possible and in my understanding M8 can be debranding.

I believe that you can mount system partition to get back to Sense partition. I would better recommend to stick with Sense firmware since it has more available space for flashing mods.

I personally use Lyapota GPE ROM with Sense firmware and I can have apps such as FM Radio, Sense Camera, Voice Recorder, HTC clock and weather and Harman Kardon experience. If in any moment I would like to flash a Sense ROM, I wouldn't have any problem since I'm in Sense partition.
