Need 100% factory on HTC ONE M8 PLEASE HEEELP!!

Need to totally factory start my HTC ONE M8

Hi guys, i really hope you can help me here.

I have a HTC ONE M8. It is a UK version on EE carrier. the CID is ORANG001. in fast boot it is blank next to OS- (don't know if tyhat matters at this point) I have S-Off through SUNSHINE. I have no oringinal back up. I have tried flashing the recovery found in my OTA updtate and several others that say they should work in various other threads, all through ADB Fastboot says it sends and writes ok but has no effect.

I have unrooted, factory booted, and am at the end of my tether. EE will not replace the handset if it is tampered and i really dont want to have to pay for a totally new one.

Thanks.

Hi,

I suggest reading the previous page in the thread. I has a similar problem to you and was helped out after days and days of struggling alone and Googling all to no avail.

The guy was able to give me the RUU for Eurpoean One M8s. It sounds like it should work for yours too, but I'm not expert so can't guarantee it.

Have a read and see if it helps.

thanks ill give it a go. at this point i will try absolutely anything. I've spent god knows how many hours doing this now, and it all started because of the stupid issue of not being able to write to an ext sd card. :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyrory:
Sure, do post updates because I was at the end of my tether as well and thought I had bricked my phone but now it's as good as new, before I'd started screwing around with it. The more you post the more likely you can get help.

All I had to do was connect the phone as FASTBOOT USB and run the RUU file provided. Note you'll have to relock the bootloader by running fastboot oem lock in cmd/terminal.

After that, fired up the RUU and let it do its thing, worked a charm. Hope it goes as smoothly for you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
As long as you are still using your stock ROM and recovery, you will still be able to update via OTAs. Your system partition has to be unmodified as well, but if you haven't achieved root, you won't have been able to modify it.

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 AM ----------

You are going to have to change your CID first. I suggest superCID.

Hook up to your PC and get into fastboot.

fastboot devices to make sure you are connected (a bunch of letters and numbers/ your serial # means you are)

fastboot oem rebootRUU Black screen with the HTC logo should come up on your phone. That is RUU mode.

fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones)

fastboot reboot bootloader Congratulations, you are now superCID!

Leave your phone connected, and run the WWE RUU.

Thanks, just a quick query on that. will it allow me to get the OTA's for my handset? if i get an issue will my carrier take it back or will it be "tampered" etc?

Again thanks for help on this i'm one more recovery flash, reboot from a nervous breakdown lol.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
No, you won't get OTAs anymore. But you won't need them. You will be able to update your firmware manually WAY BEFORE your carrier updates.

I'm in Canada, and running WWE firmware with superCID, and I'm on the newest a month or two before my carrier is.

And since you are S-Off, you can reset your phone to stock for warranty purposes.

Hello there! i'm a fresh owner of an HTC M8 (european version 5.02 stock rooted with S-ON), i have a few issues,maybe some of you can help me:

1.Is there a way to disable the native lollipop heads-up?

Before i had a Galaxy S5, LG G3, and it worked with the SQlite editor procedure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It2WKA3XB-8, , but when installing SQlite in the M8 (grant supersu acces and all of that) it says that no database found (attached a screenshot below) , the same thing happens on my Moto G 2014, so i thought it can't be that i have the S-ON, i tried also changing SElinux to permissive but no luck :(

2.I can't uninstall system apps, i tried many system uninstaller apps, titanium backup, etc...after it says they are uninstalled, they appear back after a reboot, the only way i had to deal with this is freezing them...can it be the S-ON thing?

3.Is there any mod to add a 'clear all' button to the notification drawer without having to S-OFF?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You have to run the GPE RUU, (after changing MID/CID). You will also have to run the appropriate Sense RUU for to convert back. Make a note of your MID and CID before converting to GPE. You can't back up your firmware to just simply restore like you seem to want. TWRP does not help in this case.

Cannot enter recovery

Something has caused me to be unable to enter recovery on my HTC One M8. I had Android Revolution HD and I was trying to go to Skydragon. I downloaded the Skydragon ROM and tried to enter recovery to no avail.

I tried to get into recovery by erasing cache directories. When that didn't work, I ran the following commands to reinstall recovery:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img" (i actually changed the path to the right one)

Everything was successful, but now my phone wont boot into recovery. What do?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
How are you trying to enter recovery?

After the re-flash fastboot reboot recovery should have worked.

Also, you can get into bootloader (turn off your phone ~ hold power button + vol down to enter bootloader) and get into recovery there by selecting hboot, and the option to boot to recovery will be there.

External SD card and USB drive not mounting.

I had just flashed new recovery and MultiRom zips. Then I restored a back up rom and everything was fine. I then tried to flash a custom kernel from external SD card (error=255 I think) .

I went to settings>storage>external SD card and I would not show or mount.

(in recover I could still see everything on my SD card but not when I booted into Android)

I then formatted the card in Android, then formatted again in TWRP and then repaired/changed file system... No go.

Then I tried to plug in my otg cable and USB flash drive and it isn't mounting either... So now I'm thinking my external SD card is Not fried and I have a setting changed that's not allowing me to mount external SD or otg...

I switched the mtp setting disable/enable in TWRP and no change....

Hello guys, I've had a problem with my phone since flashing 5.0 firmware months ago but I'm just now getting to fixing it.

I have twrp recovery and some 5.0.1 rom that was in beta awhile ago. Everytime I boot into twrp in boots right into fastboot, whatever it's called, after about 5 seconds, so I can't flash any roms, which I think is the problem since it's pretty buggy.

Another thing is that Whenever I charge the phone while it's off, it boots into bootloader and therefore stops charging. Anyway I can fix my recovery without recovery?

This is Verizon htc one m8.

Ok after changing about every setting i could find in twrp, or under storage settings and repairing, changing file systems and formating external sd card multiple times it still would not mount my card or otg cable. (I put an alternet 2gb sd card in and it mounted and read fine....wtf....)

I finally plugged the sd card into the pc copied a twrp rom backup on it and plugged it back into my phone booted to recovery and was able to restore the back up ...ok, so booted back to the first rom and still it doesnt show sd card...booted to the new backup and bam..i can see and mount sd card..sweet!

So...way too long story short, i think the original backup had some corrupt data and was failing to access the sd card and otg flash drive..

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergioRmz:
You first should unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com.

Once you have unlocked your bootloader, you'll be able to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP using commands.

In TWRP just flash SU to root your device. You'll be able to receive OTAs but in order to take them, you will have to first flash the stock recovery.

Look at YouTube for the explanation from MaowDroid, it will lead you through each pass to root your device.

Check in Settings and look for the OTA update, you will receive a notification when there's one available. You can find stock recovery in this thread. S-off is not required to everything, but is recommended since you have the ability to flash different firmwares or change the CID of your phone, along with some tweaks that can only be made if you're s-off, but remember that you only can be s-off using Sunshine which is a paid app. ($25)

Extemely common issue. Common enough to generate a 13 page thread on the topic: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/how-to-fix-htc-one-m8-camera-issue-t2803825

Its not the glass itself that is scratched; but rather some sort of cheap anti-glare coating that is wearing off quickly. Many folks (including myself) experienced the coating peeling off (and blurry photos) within a couple months of owning the phone.

The solution is to remove the coating with mild abrasive (car wax, toothpaste, see the thread and use your judgement) and the photos will be instantly improved. Plus, the exposed glass hasn't scratched at all for me since; and its been about 9 months since I removed the coating.

Thanks, yes I was reading all night. Isopropyl alcohol seems the safest way to me, I will try it.

Just two question. There will be no damage again to the lens? Is a coating that I will remove, so, what left will not be scratched again?

And, that void warranty? I dont want to send to warranty if i can fix, but if there is a major hardware Issue in the future I will need warranty.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
As I mentioned, I removed the coating about 9 months ago, and no scratches since. Well, maybe a few minor ones, that don't affect photos (the actual camera hole is just a small portion of the glass). But I'm not particularly gentle with my phone, either.

As for the warranty, I don't see how HTC would know if you removed the coating or not. Even if they claimed you did, you can just claim ignorance and say maybe it just peeled off on its own. Based on the durability of the coating, this would not be an unreasonable claim.

No point in leaving the coating on, it just ruins the photos.

Boot into bootloader, and it will say either s-on or s-off near the top of the screen.

You can also do adb getvar all, and it will say s-on or s-off (no need to post the getvar output here, but if you do delete the IMEI and serial number, as these are personal data).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M-man10:
Thanks for the help. It says S-On at the top. It also says Software status: Official and Unlocked. I believe I unlocked it with the HTC Dev method. Is there anything possibly bad/void about that?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
When you unlocked the bootloader you confirmed the warranty was void.

Whether they actually consider your warranty void or not when you send it in, may depends somewhat on how your local HTC service center handles things. Reports on XDA have been mixed, from what I've seen.

Some suggest getting s-off, which will allow you to change the bootloader flag back to LOCKED, and you can then go s-on again. Seems a big counter-intuitive to mod the phone more (and spend $25 to s-off) but there it is.

HTC will still have a record of you requesting the unlock bin code, you can't change that. But some folks on here have argued that just because you requested the code, doesn't mean you actually used it. But it seems like a somewhat contrived argument to me.

Hi, I bought a HTC One M8 Verizon unlocked. I am using Rogers in Canada. The text messages + calls worked well but no data 4G/LTE. I couldn't change the APP settings to my carrier.
