So you came to find help with your HTC One M8?Well, this is your thread!

I was surprised to see that a help thread hadn't been created in this forum yet (especially considering it's usually one of the first threads created in a device forum). Due to that, I thought it would be a good idea to set this up :)

Hello new user and welcome to XDA-Developers. We are a developer’s forum, with the purpose of development. Our work can be used in several ways, and, we know that sometimes it could help you. So, in order to maintain our forums clean and properly organized, maintaining a proper development environment while at the same time to give you a chance to join our forums, we created this thread.

This thread is for sensible questions from new or inexpert users. If you think your question may be a little basic for the wild Q&A forum then this is the place to ask it.

Here you shall find an atmosphere free of prejudice, where we will try to help you in your problem, answer your most basic questions and aid you on troubleshooting your device. We know that learning all the technicalities takes time, however they are necessary in order to interact with us.

Bare in mind that we are not technical support, we do not work for any company or get paid to help, we are just independent developers gathered in a community called XDA-Developers. Therefore all we will do is guide you into troubleshooting your device yourself, but under no circumstance we are abided to do so.

We want you to become the kind of user we see as productive to a developer’s community, and why not?, to be a developer yourself!

Note to General users:

This is a chance for more advanced users to “give back” to XDA-Developers the knowledge we have gathered together in a decade of development. This is a thread to behave in a tolerant way, taking into consideration that the user posting queries might have never even heard words such as “adb” or “ROM", so, if you are not willing to be helpful, I kindly invite you to browse into another thread.

Before asking a question in this thread, I suggest reading through the HTC One M8 Frequently Asked Questions as it's possible that your question may have already been answered in that thread :)

Moderators will not tolerate "flaming" or "trolling" in this thread as it is specifically provided for those who are still learning the basics.. We will delete and sanction without warning any post that show intention other than to help the new user.​

SIM card and IMEI issues after converting to GPE

Hello everyone!

So I just bought an asian HTC one M8 developer edition from a friend and I wish I couldnt be more happy, but Im facing some issues and I hope you could help me! :o

I converted my HTC dev to a GPE by flashing the RUU. Before that my SIM card and network worked just fine.

But now my baseband, network, IMEI etc are all shown by "unknown" and dont work.

I actually found a forum where someone had virtually the same issue: http://xdaforums.com/general/help/urgent-help-required-htc-one-m8-sim-t2810468

But while he was able to fix it by flashing a radio image of his device's original CID, that same image doesnt appear to be available anymore! (i have the same original CID as the case mentioned).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2736921

Right now I have super CID (11111111) and my radio shows up as 1.14.21331931.LA02_2G

my original CID was BS_US002

Does anybody knows if i have to find and flash my orginal's CID radio image, or is there any other way around...

Please help me guys! xDD

thanks in advance

Hello guys. I've been googling around why I can't root or unlock boot loader on my HTC one model id 0P6B12000. BS_US001 from what I understand it's the at&t dev edition. I've tried everything from towel root to sunshine to HTC dev unlock. Nothing works. Root fails, sunshine reboots, HTC unlock token is successful but does not unlock. Fastboot oem unlock returns err. Any ideas? Am I missing something?

HTC Sync Manager

Sorry if this has already been asked somewhere, but I couldn't find an answer.

I have ViperOne up and running on my phone. Since I loaded it, HTC Sync Manager canont see my phone. When I plug my phone in, Android File Transfer Tool opens.

I saw another thread where they said you have to turn off fast charging. That leads me to another potential issue. The guide for ViperOne says that option is under kernels. The only thing I have listed under kernels is "Apply Kernel Settings On Boot." I don't see any of the other options.

Htc one m8 without OS trying to install viper

Hey XDA'ers

few days ago I tried to reset my phone to stock settings and I had stock Rom and everything on except it was rooted and I had twrp on it.

I accidently wiped everything on my phone including the OS itself and thats what you call having a soft bricked phone i think

cause I can still turn in on and enter Bootloader and TWRP.

so I looked everywhere on the internet for the Stock Htc one m8 OS ROM and found nothing at all but lookalikes etc so I searched through some the ROMS and found viper. I have downloaded ViperOne and put it on my SDcard i dont know if im supposed to have S-off to use viper ? or if im supposed to have stock OS and apply Viper to that ? but after successful installation it Reboots and enters Bootloader instantly everythime i turn it on I used to have to turn phone on and hold power button plus volume up then down to enter bootloader but now it just goes straight into that. ive wiped all data chache everything except SDcard

many times and tried to reinstall viper after deleting everything again but with no luck

i have Ruu for my model but my pc doesnt recognize my phone and i have tried sideloading stock rom and GApps but my phone still boots into bootloader when i turn it on

i will apreciate it alot if any one could help me since i have no other phone and my Htc one m8 is pretty new

Thanks in advance

help

i created a thread already, but I dont think it's garnering much attention.....I wouldnt even know where to begin to search for what im searching for, so Ill ask here....I have an AT&T M8. i have the latest baseband (3.28.xxx.6).....everything up til this point was working fine. I had vanir up and running, but after downloading MaxiumusHD and the ota manual update. i wanted to try something different, so I booted into recovery and attempted to wipe everything when I started getting red error messages. Im using CT's latest (non-multiboot recovery). Ive seen these red errors before, so i attempted to flash MaximusHD but b4 it finished the aroma installation, it booted automatically into the htc white screen. Currently I am able to boot into bootloader, and I can bring up fastboot devices and see that my computer recognizes my device. Everytime Ive tried going into recovery to wipe, it autmoatically boots into the that white screen without finishing the wipe process....Im using Hasoon's all in one toolkit so i dont have a computer android sdk package......Does anyone have any idea what I did wrong, b/c I have literally flashed hundreds of roms in the past and never once had this red error message when trying to wipe data in preperation for a rom flash......Right now my phone is in bootloader mode, fastboot usb...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funmunke:
I'm not 100% sure on this, but someone might be able to back me up. ViperOne uses the existing ROM when it installs. I don't believe that ViperOne is a full base OS. I don't know enough about the backups to say if you can use the backup off another phone or not.

If you unlocked your phone, that means you registered with HTC as a developer. You could ask them for the bad OS. I'm not sure if they will give it to you or not. It's at least worth a shot.

Got a new HTC one M8 from Verizon. S off, unlocked, rooted. Everything was working fine until tonight. Did a nandroid backup then installed an Xposed module (advanced power menu) and things started getting funky. Android system ui started force closing so using TWRP attempted a system restore. After a few minutes the restore completed so hit the reboot button. An error message came up and said "appears that device is not rooted, slide button to restore root". Root restore failed, device rebooted and white screen with green HTC logo and powered by ANDROID on came up. Phone vibrates then stays on that screen indefinitely. When I powered off using power and vol up buttons, powers down then immediately reboots and white HTC screen comes up. Can't get it to do anything else. Tried Squabbi's HTC toolkit to send fastboot / ADB reboot commands but wouldn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Viper, like all other ROM's, is a complete OS on its own. Partitions are another story, but usually not relevant to the average flasher except for an occasional firmware update.

Hi guys,

I've had my M8 for a couple of weeks now, and I love it. I haven't even rooted the thing yet, which is very surprising for me!

One issue I have with my phone, is the music app by HTC is frozen when I launch it. It does not force close. I have tried wiping data and cache, to no avail. It may be unrelated, but my phone doesn't sound too great when plugged into my speakers - maybe the EQ is frozen also. Sounds very virtualized, like I'm in a massive hangar.

I'm on 4.4.3, EE in UK. Thank you!

First, restore your nandroid. You made one before you flashed anything like it says in every developer thread, right?

If not, I hate to call you an idiot, so I'll just direct you to this thread.

After you have reverted back to a 4.4.2 ROM, go to this thread to update your firmware.

You could also use the method and/or downloads from this thread.

After you have updated your firmware, you will be able to flash a 4.4.4 based ROM.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Why use towelroot with unlocked bootloader?

You need to flash a custom recovery with fastboot, and install SU binaries. Done. ?

Only way you can do a proper nandroid backup of your system also.... Which you should do before ever flashing anything.... So you can restore if things go bad.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_jpeg1254:
Thanks for your fast response.

I've been rooting phones for a long time and am aware of custom recoveries and nandroid backups. That's where my problems began. This is a replacement phone for one which I think was soft bricked after restoring a nandroid backup using TWRP. The phone was acting up after installation of an Xposed module so I restored the backup and the phone would no longer boot, giving me an error message that "no os is installed". In the past I've always used CWM on other phones and tablets and had no problems but CWM touch was not available for m8 and I had to use TWRP. Now I'm afraid the same thing will happen with this phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Read instructions carefully and understand what you're doing and all should go fine. What happened in the past shouldn't affect your decisions now. ?

Just seems like a waste to unlock and not have proper root.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markpud:
Hi all,

I've recently upgraded to the M8 from M7, and I'm a big fan of the "moves" app for tracking my walking etc. But on the M8 it pops up a message saying that certain phones don't allow the pedomoter to track footsteps when the screen is off.

Is there any way to get around this and allow proper fitness tracking? IT seems very strage that HTC would limit the device in this way when fitness tracking is only getting more and more prevalent.

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I did search before posting!

Just enable it.

It is for Google Drive's cloud storage.

When the M8 first came out, it came with 50gb of free Drive storage.

Hi guys, my m8 is fully stock and locked. i started reading a lot about rooting and unlocking my device but i still have some questions.

1-My CID is HTC_332, is a latin american version. it takes so long to receive updates and ota. is possible to convert it to a international or developer version so it can receive faster updates? i still didn't received EYE experience.

2-i saw a video that firewater only works for asian devices now, and i must use sunshine if i want s-off. is it true? or can i test firewater to see if works or is not recommended?

3- the only way to go back to stock is from a nandroid backup? there is no full rom available to flash?

thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
1: Is your MID 0P6B16000? Then you already have the international version. Use this toolkit to gain root. Then you will be able to install a 4.4.4 ROM.

2: You can try Firewater, it won't hurt your device. If it fails, try a few more times. If that doesn't work, you'll need to use Sunshine.

3: You can get the stock ROMs, recoveries, and firmware here.

EDIT: 0B6B16000 is not truly the international version, but will work with anything that the international model will.

It is the same MID as Rogers and Telus (my carrier) in Canada.

how can i be sure if i can install another 4.4.4 stock rom in my device?

before i install twrp there is a way to backup the stock recovery or there is no need for this?

You can get the stock recovery in the last link I gave you. No need to back it up.

You can most definitely install a stock ROM. Or a custom ROM. Or a Dev Ed ROM, Or a GPE ROM once you are rooted. The choice is yours, just read and follow instructions on the appropriate thread.

You can get firmware and instructions on installation here. There are 4 versions of the newest firmware for your device there (WWE). I used the no wipe with TWRP (FUU_3.28.401.7_WWE_TWRP2803_NoWipe_M8)

With SuperCID,. you can use any firmware meant for the WWE models. Otherwise, the firmware and your phone need matching CID and MID or it won't update and will abort installation.

You won't get OTAs any more, but you won't need them. You will have the latest versions before your carrier does.

Your firmware version is Verizon. If you want to flash another version you need to change your firmware and CID to that particular version. However, being Verizon branded, your options may be limited. The Sprint and Verizon editions have a different structure in the partitions area.
