No you are not. As you wrote, you have a rooted device. As you've been told, you need to have a never rooted device for the OTA to work. Unroot won't work. You will have to restore a clean backup (i.e. without root) or try to restore a clean system backup only. The second option could save you from losing your data but it might not work. It depends on the modifications that have been made to your device. So backup everything before you proceed.

You will have to restore your custom recovery to do any of these. Leave the stock recovery restore for the end (right before installing OTA).

M8 backcamera failure

HTC One M8 issue out of nowhere:

Hello!

I'm having a weird issue with my M8:

A few days ago I could not start the default camera app; it closed itself. I figured, Android is a bit tired, let me reboot.

After that, the camera only started in Selfie mode. Trying to change the mode only left me with the Selfie option. Adding more modes left me with 1 extra option; the Photo Booth mode.

Also, when wanting to take a picture via WhatsApp, it starts the small camera on the back, upside down and pretty grainy.

Is there a fix without having to factory reset the phone??
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
I suggest you check the camera and Zoe apps. Clear cache and data on each app and see if your camera starts working again. If not, it may well be a hardware problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattie_d:
Did that.

Also:

- Removed Camera and Zoe apps & reinstalled

- Several reboots with combinations (Without camera installed, both apps not installed, etc etc)

- Removed some app's that has been updated recently

- App settings to default

Also, this problem has been mentioned a LOT on the HTC Camera app on the Play Store.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
I just checked mine and I have no problems with taking pictures from all the available types: Zoe, Selfie, Split capture, Camera, Photo booth and Panorama. Have you installed any new apps lately?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _purple_:
[MENTION=2759977]Mattie_d[/MENTION] Do have any led flash app installed (not the stock app)? Sometimes these apps cause problems to the camera. If you have one, try to uninstall it and check for a few days.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattie_d:
Yes, I did have one.

Only link I can think of is that the camera got in trouble AFTER removing it. Could it have removed something it shouldn't have?

Bricked my device?

Hello everyone,

I am struggeling with my phone for about 5 hours so far, I have HTC One m8 GPE(converted), all my software buttons vanished and there is no notification drawer. The other problem is connecting my phone to my pc, I tried both HTC usb drivers and HTC sync - both nothing also i cant get my device to send a RSA dialog (hope im spelling it correct)after enabling usb debugging thats why i cant use adb or fastboot.

I have tried to change storage modes on my phone and nothing happens. Also restoring and factory reset from TWRP does nothing.

Is my device dead forever or its possible to save it ? :(

Edit: resolved it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genious_t:
I have HTC M8 (rural area variant LRA_001) it was working fine with my GSM network so didn't really know its

CDMA, i rooted it and installed ARHD which wont boot, I flashed SkyDragon and it worked fine, the only ROM

working with my phone was SkyDragon.

I love ARHD ROMs and wanted to flash in my phone but thought it could be firmware problem that its not letting

me use ARHD with my phone, i decided to go S-Off and flash the latest firmware out there (that was the worst

decision to make). I grabbed an international GSM firmware and flashed it, didn't know my phone is not

international GSM because it was already working with a GSM sim out side the US.

lost my network connection after that, was still not able to boot with ARHD, SkyDragon was still working but

without network. ppl here on forum referred to it as verizon variant because it was CDMA and MID 0P6B20000, this

didn't help much, flashed the hboot from somewhare as well but no luck, flashed dottat's RUU for verizon and got

a lot of branding all over still no network. now i got another issue that my phone keeps rebooting after few

every minutes. so I flashed TWRP again and flashed SkyDragon, still no network and reboot issue.

I tried PA, CM ROMs they didn't have reboot issue, but still no network, found verizon firmware 4.4.4 flashed

and luckily found nandroid for LRA__001 restored it. still no luck, reboot issue and no network.

contacted HTCDev, they provided me a complete RUU to flash via bootloader, did that and now there is not reboot

issue but still no network. HTCDev said i need to send in the phone for repaire.

i spent several nights investegating about it, and figured out that the problem is when in OS i go to settings >

about.. i see that there is no IMEI and baseband. when i check it from fastboot getvar all it does show all the

information. pulled the board-info partition image dropped it into hex editor and i can clearly see the IMEI

number there.

what I believe is that kernel or whoever is responsible to read the IMEI and baseband information within the OS

is not pointing it to correct partition. and thats why i am having no network issue.

one more issue i am having is that i can not boot into stock recovery as soon as i select recovery from

bootloader it goes to black screen and then reboots and this keep happening forever.

also I received the OTA (wifi and bluetooth are working) when I opt to install the OTA i boots to the screen

where it usually installs the OTA (the black screen with phone logo and progress bar) but reboots and boots to

the same screen again and keep doing this for about 10 times and then boots back into the system.

the main issue is to have network signals working.

wondring if anyone can help me with this.

thank you
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _purple_:
If you don't have a custom rom where the led app was pre-installed then there is no chance removing it could cause any problem to the camera app. Even if it was pre-installed in a custom rom I still doubt it would cause problem. On the contrary, installing apps that control the led flash sometimes take control of the camera module and the camera app fails to use it so it crashes when trying to launch it. I had it happen to two of my devices so far. I don't see though why you had to uninstall the camera app. You could just have deleted cache and data and it would be as good as new. Anyway, the removal of led apps is just a suggestion, your problem could very likely be caused by something else.

Hi, I need to return to stock sense from a RUU GPU conversion I did several months ago.

I have read the guides on XDA but am a little confused.

My phone was originally with Three UK so my CID should be H3G_001. In the process of converting to GPE I changed to SuperCID 11111111.

Looking through the avaible stock RUU and backups H3G_001 no longer appears to be available.

What is the best alternative? Since I have SuperCID can I pick any stock rom?

I was planning on flashing https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407589439 to get to a stock bootloader, factory reset, install a custom recovery then flash the stock rom/recovery - is this still the correct course of action?

Personally I would flash 4.16.401.10 firmware from this thread. Then download the 4.16.401.10 RUU from my drive. That will take you to WWE edition stock unrooted. Take the available OTA to 4.16.401.13 and then you can get custom recovery and flash whatever ROM you like.

Help choosing new OS for HTC One M8

Hello,

I am really new to modifying Android (but a really big Android fan), but I'm not quite satisfied with my HTC One M8 Verizon OS... So I was thinking to change the OS on my HTC. My first thought was newest Cyanogenmod, but maybe I should wait for Android Marshmallow and get it then(just not the Verizon version, because I'm using my phone in Europe)?

As I mentioned, I am really new and not experienced in modding, so what would be the "safest" way to go while upgrading (either way, I want to get rid of Verizon on my phone)?

What are your thoughts?

Thank you kindly for your suggestions,

Paul.

get into terminal emulator and type:

su (then hit enter)

getprop ro.cid (hit enter)

getprop ro.mid (hit enter)

That will give you CID and MID.

You can get your current firmware version from your bootloader menu (turn off phone ~ boot it up while holding down power + vol down).

It will be listed under OS.

That should be enough info.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You are on WWE/International.

You are also on about as an old a firmware as you can get on the M8.

You need to update it.

Make sure that you have the HTC drivers installed on your PC. If not, download HTC Sync Manager onto your PC. Double click the download and let it install the drivers. Once installed, uninstall HTC Sync. It doesn't play nice with ADB. The drivers will remain.

Then download this RUU onto your PC.

When the download is finished, hook your phone up to your PC and double click on the RUU download.

Follow the prompts. It will fail because of your old hboot. (Hboot pre-update please flush again ~ or something similar) This is normal and has updated your hboot. Do not disconnect, just run the RUU again.

After you have successfully updated your firmware, flash TWRP in fastboot, then install any rooted ROM you wish. If you want to remain stock; but rooted; download the SuperSU update.zip from here, transfer it to your phone's internal storage, and flash it in TWRP

It's rather sick, in actual fact. Verizon and Sprint models are probably the worst ever devices to have for ANY make of phone. There are Verizon M8 forums here, but the ROMs are limited.

Internal storage problem

I'm quite new to modding Android, and a little while ago I decided to root my phone to get rid of the camera click, and screenshot shutter sounds (I have a Telstra phone, and they got rid of the options to disable those sounds) by following this tutorial purely because it was the easiest to follow: htconeroot.com/htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-m8/. I did everything to the letter, but the root didn't work. Only thing the whole process really changed was replacing the stock recovery with TWRP, but other than that, everything worked fine.

The other day, I got a notification for a software update, and when I tried to install it, it just went to TWRP and it didn't actually install. I tried a factory reset to remove TWRP, but it didn't work, and now it's messed with the internal storage, in that the aforementioned software update can't install because it thinks the internal storage is 'read only,' the file manager says the internal storage is empty, and can't create any folders inside it, yet the phone still appears to be able to save files in the internal storage, so other than system updates and such, everything works as normal. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Your phone is rooted. You cannot take OTA if you are rooted. You need to go back to complete Telstra stock ROM and then you will be able to take the OTA. Root changes system files and that's the first thing OTA's check for. You need to find a non rooted backup for your CID. Have a look at this excellent thread.

You're guessing at the problem/cause; and it appears from your description that from the start you've been messing with things you didn't properly understand.

You should

never ever ever

flash GSM firmware to a CDMA variant M8. The phones are not even partitioned the same way. You may have done permanent damage, such as a radio brick.

If you tried the Verizon RUU, and not LRA RUU is available, you may be out of luck.

The MID you listed is AT&T and US Developer's Edition (both those versions share the same MID). If the phone is not that version originally; either you hacked the MID to change it, or somebody else did, its that simple. It has nothing to do with what network the phone has been used on.

What we need to do is only to SuperCID.

The original MID was 0P6B10000 but changed to 0P6B12000 which is actually not necessary at all.
