[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You really, really should NOT be playing with the phone in this way because you have NO IDEA what you are doing. However, if you insist you need to: fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img

That will flash the recovery. After that, you need to READ what to do with the Nandroid backup you downloaded and do that.

THEN you need to flash your stock recovery in the same way as above, changing the name of the recovery.img.

NOW, go back and read the FIRST post in its entirety otherwise you are going to end up with a very expensive paperweight on your desk.

Hello there, I'm currently on 6.0 Android HTC M8 and it is not rooted. I have been getting this error "com.Android.phone" which doesn't let me make or receive phone calls. I have tried wiping the cache partition disk, clearing cache of the apps and doing a factory reset. Is there a solution for this? I've tried searching but there isn't much out there about it. Thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Unlock the bootloader to flash the TWRP and the nandroid. There is NO NEED to relock the bootloader once you are back to stock, you have S-OFF and the updates will work.

I'm not 100% sure if you can wipe the dalvik cache from stock recovery. If that option is there, then use it also.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaddyUK:
Hi guys, I've got an M8 that I converted to the Google Play Edition way back when via the RUU, since then had it rooted and have always been flashing the pre-rooted ROM files via TWRP. I want to carrier unlock the phone as it's locked to Vodafone UK currently (the code that they gave me doesn't work on GPE it seems). Anyone know what the easiest way to unlock this device will be? Thanks in advance.

CID is set to GOOG001, didn't change the MID
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
SIM unlock codes typically require going back to Sense, then it should work and can go back to GPE.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

You need s-off ($25 by sunshine app) to change MID. After that, the MID is changed with specific adb command.

If you don't know the benefit of changing the MID, then why are you asking about it?

Changing CID and MID allows (in some cases) "converting" your phone to another carrier version. But there are limitations, and doing any of these actions can permanently damage your phone if you aren't careful. So I'd like to know what your intent is, before even remotely suggesting you should do any of the above actions.

Some orientation needed

Hi all :),

I'll introduce myself in this community, I'm Andrés, and i'm from Chile.

I always read this forum, but now i registered, because i need your help. So any help will be welcome.

So the story is that i bought a HTC one m8 from Aliexpress (a US 32 GB one) but what finally came to my door was a 0P6B110 M8x (writed in the back).

The problem is that 3G 850 mhz (don't know why), 3G aws (1700/2100), 4G aws (1700/2100) are not working, OTA is not working.

The phone came with modificactions. the bootloader menu shows

*** LOCKED ***

M8_UL XF SHIP S-OFF

CID-11111111

HBOOT-3.16.0.0000

RADIO-1.15.2133156.UA12.5mv

OpenDSP-v38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311

OS-1.54.401.109

eMMC-boot 2048MB

fastboot getvar mid returns 0P6B10000

So, i have SuperCID, and S-OFF, which should make things easier.

The question are "If i follow the next tutorial, and try to convert my phone to a dev edition".

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/change-wwe-m8-to-dev-edition-ota-t2826567

¿Will i be able to connect to a 4G aws network?

¿There is some hardware incompatibility, or radio files i should flash first?

¿Since the phone have SuperCID do i need to change it?

¿What CID should i use ? ¿BS_US001 or BS_US002? :confused:

Thanks for your help. :highfive:

my phone is s-off when i was tring install latest firmware 6.12.401.4 model id check failed , so thats why iam asking
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The proper thing to do would be to find the proper firmware, not change the MID (exception might be if you can't find the firmware). Changing to another versions firmware may change the band support; possibly having negative results depending on your current setup and bands used by your carrier. Flashing another versions firmware may even lead to a brick, in the less likely event that your version is Sprint or Verizon (versions that support CDMA).

If you want further guidance, do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

Just reboot and try again. If its been stuck for hours, its not going to finish; and you don't really have much choice. No permanent damage should result from aborting a ROM install.

Did you do a "default" wipe (user data, Dalvik and cache) in TWRP before flashing the ROM? This is typically recommended.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

You can't always go by the model number on the back, as we've seen a number of M8 phones on here that have had their back plates replaced (and model number doesn't match what anything else indicated in getvar, bootloader, etc).

Its also not a US variant, from what I can tell; but may be Canada. It seems that "M8_UL XF" may correspond to Telus (Canada).

The original version is probably not too relevant to moving forward; although I am curious. Please do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Dev Edition does support LTE AWS band, however it does

not

(from what I can tell) support the 3G AWS band.

The only version I can tell that supports all the bands you indicated, seems to be T-Mob US. So you might consider converting to that version. Or another option may be to flash T-Mob firmware or RUU, then install a custom ROM (or stock ROM for WWE, DevEd, etc.) in order to delete the T-Mob bloatware and branding (for which all the US carriers are pretty notorious of having).

No need to change to other CIDs, since you are SuperCID. SuperCID should "pass" for any CID check, by definition. You

do

however need to change the MID to match signed firmware, RUU, etc.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If that is the case, you can just change the MID and flash the Dev Ed RUU.

If you use the Marshmallow RUU, you may have to flash the firmware first. This is a MM specific glitch.

Or you can flash the Lollipop RUU, which should work just fine without flashing anything else beforehand. Then OTA up to MM.

The getvar data doesn't shed much more light on what version the phone was originally. But it shouldn't matter moving forward (in your specific case). Thanks for posting it, in any case.

This isn't the "same" issue as the previous post, at all. Folks really need to stop saying they have the "same problem" since it never never never is.

This shouldn't be a "maybe" (about the bootloader being locked). You either know or you don't. If you don't know, we can't help you.

Not only root, but you also need s-off to change MID.

And you absolutely need to have the bootloader unlocked to flash TWRP.

more complicated than your are letting on in this most recent post.

It looks like you unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, then restored a stock TWRP backup and stock recovery? Then received the OTA and tried to install? Is that all correct?

What is your main version number (OS number on hboot screen, or main version on getvar all)?

What number stock TWRP backup did you restore?

What number stock recovery did your restore?

Any error messages when installing the OTA?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tunnex190:
Yeah you are correct. The OS version number was 4. 16. 401. 10

Then, the stock twrp back up i did carried the same number so as the stock recovery: 4. 16. 401. 10. And of course before I received MM update notification, I did upgrade it to 4. 16. 401. 13 which I am sure is the last update for WWE version. And no any error message. It just restarted and shown installation movement line and then restarted to show the logo and nothing afterward

Screen not working properly.

Hello,

I'm having a problem with my screen. It is strange. When watching YouTube videos at 720p or 1080p there are parts of the video that pixelate, but it's not the video. Also in my notification pull down drawer, the header bar has two different shades of blacks and they meet right at the middle. Also in the notification, the icons for notifications are like a dark green blackish shade. The weird thing is that the screen is not physically damged, it seems to be some color reproduction problem which I started to encounter a bit after I had flashed the sinless Rom for my HTC one m8. I'm currently rooted, s-on and in my stock rom, which I thought it would fix but it didnt. Also when pulling down the notification drawer, the icons of the notifications flicker subtlely from true black to dark greenish to the black green mix of shade I mentioned earlier.

Any ideas as to how to fix this?
