But since the other option to S-off is paid (sunshine), you might as well just try firewater a couple of times first, why not? xD

Hello friends, i hope you can help me because i ****ed up real bad today... I was in cwm recovery, and press some button that said something like "format for rom" or something like that... Now i dont have any SO installed, no rom on my phone, and it says i have 0mb avalaible. So i flashed the TWRP recovery because im more familiar with it, i have tried sideload but get this error con the cmd window after it gets to 100% * failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *

On the phone i have: E: No valid storage partitions.

Any help please? Already tried adb push rom.zip /data or /sdcard but since i have 0mb for storage on my phone i think any of that will work. I can flash recoverys, but cant move any rom to my phone to flash Help please

Hi there,

Sorry to ask this question, but am not a very technical person. ;)

I am travelling quite a lot, hence I have a dual SIM phone which needed replacement. Thought the best option was to buy the M8 Dual Sim as this model is regarded one of the better ones of this year.

Unfortunately HTC did/does not release this phone worldwide, so have purchased it via Ebay (a new one) to be delivered in Hong Kong where I am now.

Received the phone and started to update all apps and the system files; the latter however seems to be impossible - it get's stuck at the 'Checking' status in the 'About' menu.

Have been online with HTC helpdesk, which returned after the phone check the following statement:

"From the IMEI number, the shipping country of your phone is China mainland. However, the Software number is not Chinese number.

It means your device has been unlooked bootloader and it's an unofficial version right now. Once the device is unlocked bootloader,

it will be deemed a waiver of the warranty and the official system update service.

That's why you cannot receive the offical update."

Ok.... How do I solve this? Obviously I want to receive the HTC and Android updates (now running on 4.4.2)... Have looked at some pages about unrooting (should I do that?)

When looking at the CID (?) this is what is returns: htccn702.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

You don't need S-Off if it's a signed zip. And it is. So you don't.

But you may have to relock your bootloader. You do with RUU.exes, not sure about RUU.zips, but you probably will.

Run it first, and if it fails fastboot oem lock and try again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
As previous response indicated, it will run s-on, but provided that its the RUU intended for your CID, MID (needs to be the RUU for your M8 version).

Do you know what those are for your phone? Its best to go fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number) so we can see all the relevant info about the device.

Help Needed

I want to install viper one m8 5.0.2 (currently on 4.6.1) on carrier unlocked AT&T htc one m8 with s-off, unlocked bootlaoder and rooted. Current MID on the phone is 0P6B12000 and CID as CWS_001. I have few questions:

Question 1- If i changed my CID to BS_US001 or BS_US002, can i simply run latest developer edition RUU from htc website to upgrade my firmware?

Question 2 - What happens to my root and current twrp 3.0 recovery? Will RUU install the stock recovery by itself or do I have to install it manually?

Question 3 - If RUU installs stock recovery by itself, should i install custom recovery before or after rooting my phone?

Question 4 - If i want to stay with developer edition with which CID (BS_US001 or BS_US002) will i be able to receive OTA updates?

I am sorry for the long post but I am a novice. I read everything still its very confusing for me.

Sixaxis Support

Hello all. I have recently rooted my phone, done S-Off, and installed my first custom rom ("Viper One M8 v5.0.1" running Android 6.0 and Sense 7.0).

In the past I have used my PS3 controller via OTG cable but now that i'm rooted I'd like to get it hooked up over BT. I downloaded the sixaxis compatibility checker and it said I wasn't compatible. I then downloaded the pairing tool on windows and matched my PS3 controller to my phone's BT address, but still it told me I was a no go. Now I've tried hooking up my ps3 controller to my phone via OTG and sixaxis says it can't find it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I see a ton of other people say the M8 works with sixaxis but I'm not having much luck right now.

Cheers! And thanks for the help.

I have rooted my phone but never bothered with roms until today, and it has ended horribly. I tried to put the viperOne and it worked but then my wifi would work, i found out it was firmware, how the **** do i add firmware, well after several hours of struggling i think i have really done it in .

Please anyone help me. Im new so when people say just flash this and hboot that while flashing the rom, its confusing
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You can't flash a firmware package if you are S-On unless it is signed. You either need to return to stock and update via OTAs from your carrier/HTC, or run an RUU if it is available for your model of M8.

Post the results of fastboot getvar all (remove or edit out your IMEI, serial# first ~ private info you should never post on a public forum), and I or someone else here will point you in the proper direction to update.

Need help updating.

Alright. I am confused a bit. I have ViperOneM8 4.3.0 version running with sense 6. I don't think I have S-Off. I have this since I rooted my phone a year ago and haven't updated since. I want the latest ViperOneM8 Marshmallow update,but I am confused how to flash it. I am unclear about the steps. I need to get the official firmware from the HTC site and have S-Off? And I should update my phone using the official firmware and then flash the new rom? I am confused about the exact steps that need to be followed.

PS: I have build number 4.16.401.10 .If i don't want to update it,can i directly flash the new rom? Or do i need to do some additional steps?

A video would be very helpful.

Also,I am sorry for asking this question if it has been asked before already. I had rooted my phone with the help of a tech geek friend a year ago,but he isn't around so I have to figure this out alone. :crying:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeadKandy:
Hi guys,

I made a post, but I've since found out a few more things, so I thought I had a more informed question to ask now.

Here's my issue: I came from an L rom, and tried to flash an M rom. Problem here was that I needed to update firmware to 6.12, which I did using the bootloader SD card method. This stopped me being able to get into my old L rom (Hadn't flashed the new one yet), and has also wiped recovery. (I now have some kind of stock? recovery that I don't recognise. It says CW, so I assume it's clockwork, but it's not the full recovery, since it makes mention of missing files.)

My Bootloader is also relocked.

I can't ADB, as I can't get into the OS, but I can still fastboot.

I've tried to fastboot oem unlock from windows terminal, but this gives me an error message.

Trying to unlock with my original HTCDev token results in an error, as does trying to use fastboot flash recovery twrp3.0...img - the error is on writing: remote: not allowed.

So here's what I've discerned from this so far:

I can't unlock because reasons...(?) but I can't re-install recovery because the firmware I used must have had an unmodified secureboot.img (I think?)

I have soft bricked my phone for the first time ever.

And this is the part I'm stuck on.

So my question is, where do I go from here? With only fastboot at my disposal, this makes it very difficult. I can still reflash firmware using the bootloader SD card method.

Where do I get this firmware (if there is a modified one)? I have a UK HTC One M8 from EE, but the phone was unlocked, rooted, and had custom rom flashed from day 1.

Really hoping I can get this sorted today... at least I'll be back at my desktop with fast internet :)

Cheers in advance guys, lemme know of any additional info you might require.

If you are running a Lollipop ROM, than just flashing a MM ROM should be fine.

This isn't always the case (going from KK to LP required updating the firmware), but in this instance it should work.

Make a TWRP backup of your current setup (just to be safe, so you can revert if you run into any issues) than go ahead and flash the newest Viper (wiping user data, Dalvik and cache before flashing the ROM is advised, since you are moving to a significantly different OS version).

SD Card not recognized after reboot

OK. So I have this "strange" issue. I'm completely stock, upgraded from KK to LL via OTA and bootloader unlocked. Non-rooted. My external SD card is a SAMSUNG EVO 4gb and is working fine. The problem is, that when I reboot my phone and go to "Mount SD Card" it displays the message "SD card is blank or has unsupported file system". I've tried unmounting it before reboot, but the problem persists. It's EVERY time the phone is rebooted. I've googled it but the answers point you to all sorts of directions. And when thishappensd I pull out the card put it in a USB Card Reader, plug it on my Laptop and it displays that the card needs formatting also. It's like if it got corrupted. I've checked with other SD cards on my phone and it's the same issue. Before you jump into any conclusions, my SD card slot in my phone is not faulty because it reads the cards without any problems before any reboot.

Any way to solve this issue? My only workaround so far, is to unmount the card, pull it out, reboot the phone, and push it back in.

I'd appreciate any light on solving this problem.

EDIT: The issue also occurs when I power off the phone and then, power it back on.
