Unfortunately I am not experienced enough to know if it is ok or not to restore the .13 version. It might contain a new firmware and I don't know if it is ok to upgrade firmware via recovery on S-On devices. So, I cannot recommend to restore .13 backup. Restore the .10 backup and then proceed with OTA if you don't mind, or wait for someone more experienced to answer.

Sir, whats that.. actly em totally new in this htc stuff.... should i have to post that info which appears on white screen???
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Give that info which appear on white screen first.

This white screen is called bootloader.

If not enough, then you need to give fastboot getvar all info.

To get that info, when you're on that bootloader where you see fastboot usb in red when connected to pc then open command prompt from where you have fastboot.exe folder, type

fastboot getvar all

When you select enter recovery, does it go to CWM or TWRP or Stock Recovery ?

Your software version 3.31.512.2 suggest that you have a bluegrass device but someone flashed the vzw firmware.

I guess you don't buy it new set.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
If there is no hardware problem .. you can fix it with a RUU

Follow this option 1 but you can skip the relock bootloader part as your device is locked

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63024353&postcount=6

To run a RUU .. you need USB2.0 and latest HTC USB driver installed. If not sure, download HTC Sync Manager - http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx

install it as it will install the latest HTC USB driver then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager but leave the driver.

I am in a big problem please help
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
What big problem ? Unable to update is not really a big problem. Unable to boot is maybe a big problem.

Don't you read what I wrote earlier just before your above post ?

You need :

1. check whether rom is currently rooted, so you can unlock it with adb command

2. if not, unlock bootloader with HTCDev

3. install CWM recovery because the nandroid backup is made with CWM recovery

4. restore 3.31.512.2 nandroid backup

5. install stock 3.31.512.2 or 4.21.512.4 stock recovery

6. do OTA to 4.21.512.4

7. done

and for these I ask you to open a separate thread as we don't want to see 10 pages of your questions cluttering this general Help thread.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Not exactly. You can only flash ROM versions compatible with your firmware.

I know of people flashing new over old, and they get super long (half hour) boot times.

I'm not even sure if that still works.

But yes, you can still install custom ROMs.

It is probably best to flash a 4.4.2 ROM, based on the firmware you have.

And Sunshine didn't work?

It was the go to for success S-Offing

HTC must have patched their exploit like they did with Firewater.

That is unconfirmed at this point. I've only heard of one other Sunshine fail.

Does anyone have monstrous CPU load on stock? I'm on the T-Mobile 1.57 OTA, rooted version from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2716843. Running an old version of flar2's ElementalX kernel that works with it.

I haven't upgraded because I'm too lazy to re-root and reinstall a new recovery. I have zero interest in non-stock roms, think HTC has done a fantastic job with Sense 6.

My phone was really slowing down the past few days, so I decided to check my CPU load time when I woke up this morning.

See screen shots for my CPU load. On "idle" time, it is around 12/12/12, and when I am doing things like using chrome or any other app, it hits 20/20/15. That is insane usage and it is really showing up in the phone. It's extremely slow, unlike I have ever seen with the m8.

Could my old ElementalX kernel be causing this? Reboots do nothing.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Your device is from Sprint, at least the current firmware version is. Sprint phones are different from a lot of the others, especially if yours is a CDMA version. It will not play well with other ROMs. First you need to find out what the exact version of your phone is. I suspect it is Sprint and CDMA. I could be wrong of course. Take a look at this thread.

Those ROMs you have tried, you cannot flash them with TWRP as a zip file. You have to extract them first and then place them where your nandroid backups are saved, then restore them with TWRP. Or rename them to 0P6BIMG and place them on your EXTERNAL SD card, go into fastboot mode and then Hboot. Follow the prompts there. After they have flashed, you then need to remove them from SD card or rename them to something else otherwise they will try to install every time you go to hboot screen. Hope this helps a bit more. You must be in fastboot ruu mode to flash firmware also. Make sure you flash firmware TWICE.

ViperOne Rom APN Settings

1st, thank you for us having the ability to ask questions without some of the nonsense that prevails on other threads...that said, let me get to my problem...I have a HTC One M8 Android Verizon Wireless device rooted running the ViperOne Rom; I need to know how I can add the APN information for Straight Talk (Verizon Wireless towers) to what appears to me the mother of all APN lists which doesn't appear to have what I need to enable mobile data on this device. I'm not entirely sure it's the rom or the ST (VW) sim card creating the issue; I do know when I inserted a pre-paid Verizon Wireless sim card; it worked. Now, there are two sets of APN settings; one is a master list I just described and the other is every combination of Verizon network settings.
