Correct ...

I don't really understand most of your posts (my English is limited) ...

what I know that you need to update your firmware if you want to install any recent custom ROMs which are mostly based on Marshmallow.

I put here 3 options :

1. Update your device as stock Marshmallow - http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845

Use that 6.0 Marshmallow exe or zip (depends on which of the 3 method that you prefer)

2. If you want a stock rooted Marshmallow - http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/wip-4-17-605-9-stock-resources-firmware-t3196906

Install the ROM zip .. once completed, reboot to bootloader and install Marshmallow firmware.zip

3. Customized - http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972

pick your choice.

Most important here is you need to update your firmware before you can run a newer version ROMs.

I would go for option 1 as that's the easiest way for most users. Option 2 is for average users and option 3 for advance users.

I have stock android 6.0.1. with sense 7, everything works fine, recently i decided to change lockscreen and installed one from play store. It works flawlessly couple of days, but when i wanted stock lockscreen back, i couldnt get it. In settings - security - screen lock is swipe. When restarting the phone stock lockscreen shows up only once, after that, there is no lockscreen at all. How to solve it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
If you can find your stock RUU from your carrier, that would be the best way. If not, I suggest a factory reset, but you'll lose your internal storage. Same will happen if you flash an RUU. Make a backup of everything you want to keep and move it off the device to be extra safe.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It looks like from your subsequent post, that you figured out how to do fastboot commands.

But in the photo, you are not in fastboot mode. Which will cause fastboot commands to fail (stalled at "waiting for devices").

In the photo, the phone is in HBOOT mode (HBOOT highlighted in blue, just below the green text). From there, you need to press power to select FASTBOOT from the options near the bottom. Then it will have FASTBOOT highlighted in red just below the green text, to show you are in fastboot mode.

Follow this thread for step by step. One thing, however, the S-OFF method listed here does not work, you must buy Sunshine for US$25.00.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
S-on/off is a HTC specific security flag ("security off" or "security on"). S-on is the default state. And if you don't know what this is, its probably s-on. Which is fine for flashing ROMs, root, and a lot of other things. S-off is only needed for some very specific stuff (and not needed for most folks). Your bootloader screen will indicate whether you are s-on or s-off.

Although old, for what you are asking (unlock bootloader) the following guide is mostly still relevant:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

But the TWRP link is outdated, and you will want the latest version TWRP 3.0: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/

You probably only need to do Section 1 of the guide, if the goal is root of flashing ROMs. After installing TWRP, if you want a custom ROM, put it on the phone and flash in TWRP. If you just want root (and stock ROM) put SuperSU (linked in the guide) on the phone and flash in TWRP.

The s-off method described in the guide no longer works. But as mentioned, you probably don't need this. The only current working method to s-off is by sunshine app ($25 US).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Main issue was that you didn't properly follow the suggestions by ckpv5 in Post #3919 above. None of the choices entailed installing latest version TWRP, at least not until you updated the firmware first. You probably had the wrong version TWRP for the firmware you had at the time. TWRP works fine, but you need to use the proper version depending on the current firmware version.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
Hi!

I have a couple of questions regarding creating a firmware.img, and to make it easy for someone to answer and also to avoid any errors, my questions, and all relevant detail are below as follows:

I installed MM firmware last November. I found the firmware in this forum and I chose to install it by renaming it to 0P6BIMG.img and rebooting my phone. My carrier released their official MM update in March or so. So right now I'd like to update my firmware, but I need some last step info on creating the firmware.img file (and a few other pieces of data). I'm S-off and SuperCID.

I managed to extract the firmware.zip from the RUU. I realize that this is not just the firmware (depending on your definition of "firmware") but the stock ROM, the system.img, the stock recovery, and a lot of stuff I don't want to install.

Looking inside this firmware.zip archive, I find the following items:

android-info.txt

rcdata.img

sdi.img

dzdata_16g.hdr

dzdata_32g.hdr

tp_SYN3528.img

tp_SYN3508.img

rpm.img

sensor_hub.img

sbl1_8974AA-1.img

sbl1_8974AB-1.img

sbl1_8974AB-2.img

tz.img

hboot_signedbyaa.img

pg2fs_spcustom.img

splash1.nb0

wcnss.img

adsp.img

boot_signed.img

recovery_signed.img

dzdata_16g.img

dzdata_32g.img

radio.img

If I use the firmware.img I installed last November as a guide and keep only the items in the above zip that were also in the firmware from November, I should keep everything EXCEPT the following (below) for the new firmware.

rcdata.img

sdi.img

dzdata_16g.hdr

dzdata_32g.hdr

tp_SYN3528.img

tp_SYN3508.img

pg2fs_spcustom.img

boot_signed.img

recovery_signed.img

dzdata_16g.img

dzdata_32g.img

In researching the items above I have read that dzdata files will wipe internal memory. Further I know I don't want the recovery.img or the boot.img. So disregarding these items, the remaining items below are the ones I'm trying to confirm.

rcdata.img

sdi.img

tp_SYN3528.img

tp_SYN3508.img

pg2fs_spcustom.img

First question: Should I include these in my firmware.img file?

Second Question: Since I'm S-off and SuperCID, and do not need to match CID or MID in the android-info.txt, do I need to bother changing android-info.txt at all? There are several lines in the new android-info.txt that weren't in the old android-info.txt. I will provide these if you want to check them.

Last Question: Since I'm S-off and a signed img isn't needed, do I just zip everything with no compression and rename the extension to img?

Thank you very much for your help in advance!!

Say who ?

With S-Off, you have the ability to change CID/MID on the device to match what's in the android-info.txt or change the android-info.txt to match device CID/MID (these cannot be done on S-On device).

Main point - CID/MID must match android-info.txt

Thank you for your response.

And I might have misunderstood this when I read about it. But, I did change the android-info.txt file to match my device in any event.

I think my files are fine at this point (I used the files in the old firmware as a guide for safety's sake). I just need to know how the create the file that I can boot into (if I place it on external-sd). I know it needs top be renamed, but can I just zip it with no compression...or is there a specific format required?

Ever since my M8 got MM, when my phone pairs to Bluetooth in my truck the phone prompts me that Chevrolet My Link wants to access my contacts and messages. It doesn't do it every time but often. I can understand the need for the access and I grant it. However it will re-prompt me often despite me checking the option to not prompt me again. It never did that to me on lollipop.

"err on the side of kindness"
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Not really ....

Depends on situation

1. Flashing ROMs when you actually means flashing RUU .. not only SuperCID but MID must match the RUU

2. Flashing ROMs when it is a flashable ROM.zip .. you don't need SuperCID or matching MID. Example flashing a GPE flashable ROM.zip, you can do it on Sense firmware, not necessarily GPE firmware or restore a AT&T nandroid backup on non-AT&T device & carrier.

3. GSM device only can flash GSM RUU or flashable ROM.zip. You can't flash a CDMA RUU or flashable ROM.zip (unless it has support for GSM)

4. for all the above, carrier doesn't matter. Example, I can flash AT&T RUU when I'm not on AT&T network, I can flash TMOB RUU & etc ... that's why you can see all sort of carrier backups in my backup thread.

I was Having issues with my m8 since yesterday evening.

The screen goes nuts when I touch it, usually when I longpress it, like it's super sensitive or something. Makes typing this really annoying.

I dropped it in the bus yesterday afternoon, but with the otterbox commuter case I have it in, I thought it was fine as there is no visible damage anywhere. I removed the hard screen protector thinking it was the problem after I had already reset the phone back to factory (stock marshmallow, updated from koodo before moving to wind mobile) thinking it was a bad app or something causing this... I was using the ad block browser and that has been known to slow my phone down even when it's not open...

Is there a way to turn down the sensitivity or recalibrate it?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You must be S-OFF if you changed the MID. Therefore you can flash any firmware you like. Preferably one beginning with 6 as in 6.12.401.4 the European WWE firmware. Once you have flashed that, your WiFi problems should be solved. Make sure you have the latest TWRP version before flashing and the new firmware version will show on bootloader screen and in fastboot getvar all.

HTC One M8s root and recovery help

Hi,

I have a big problem but first let me write my "story":

I have an HTC One M8s phone and I wanted to root it. But before that I updated my phone to android 6.0.1 and sense 7.0 because it was an official update and I was like why not? So I had been searching and searching for "years" until I decided and unlocked the bootloader. Then I wanted to flash a recovery to get it rooted. I downloaded an M8 recovery and flashed it. Later when it got stuck on the HTC logo screen I realised how idiot I am because M8 recovery is not compatible with M8s phone. So whenever I try to boot it in recovery it gets stuck and I can't factory reset the phone. I tried to install M8s recovery but it gets stuck too. However the phone still works well. I just don't know what to do from here. I think it is because of the official update.

That TWRP doesn't support your device. Trying to install a TWRP version not meant for your device is dangerous. If the device check hadn't stopped the install, you would have run the risk of the wrong partition being written, and a possible brick!

You're better off trusting xunholyx, trust me, he knows what he is talking about. No offense to the other guy, he is just misinformed in this case.

Flashing the wrong TWRP version is what started this problem to begin with (cause the phone to be stuck on logo screen) so stop repeating the same mistakes.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Please be more specific. Any error messages, what was the phone's condition afterward?

Try fastboot erase cache, and try to install the proper recovery again.

If it still doesn't work, relock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) run RUU (in the thread linked by xunholyx) to return to full stock, which will hopefully get the phone running again. From there (if you still want to root), unlock the bootloader again, and install the proper version TWRP.

Flashing the wrong version TWRP probably screwed up some partitions, which hopefully the RUU will fix.
