HTC One (M8) Firmware update. Stuck!

Hi guys. I was just doing a firmware update on my M8. I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792?nocache=1

I went with method one in the guide, using the Firmware Update Utility (FUU).

The problem is that after I ran it my HTC entered bootloader as it should. And the FUU says that it's still updating. But it also says the operation should take about 5 minutes, and it has been about 25 minutes now. According to the thread all errors should display a message, but I havn't recieved any.

I know one mistake I did, it was connecting the USB cable to the case hub instead of directly into the motherboard.

I don't really want to unplug the cable in case it would brick the phone. What should I do?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sneakyghost:
Bit of a small nightmare there.

As long as the phone is in that screen, it's alive and can be flashed again. Make sure not to reboot it.

Quit the FUU using your task manager on pc.

Plug phone into good port.

Start command prompt and navigate to your adb/fastboot directory. Type into command prompt: fastboot devices - if the device reports back with it's serial number, the connection is good.

Then launch the FUU again and re-run the flash.

Should work now.

I was trying to update my firmware and I initially got the For “Error 130 wrong model ID" do:

Then I ended up with the screen where I have 4 triangles with exclamation points in the corners. IF I unplug the USB I just get this.

When i try to connect with adb devices i get List of devices attached but nothing displaying under it.

ok, i reset device, unplugged and replugged it, went thru it again and it worked.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sneakyghost:
You're living dangerously there... the Triangles mean it stopped during an actual flash and some partition is probably not fully done and if that had been the bootloader partition, you'd have been screwed big time by resetting the device at that stage. Imagine bootloader being only partly written and the device being booted and living from the bootloader copy in the RAM. Reset=RAM emptied, no bootloader, device dead.

Next time that happens, reflash the Firmware package or get a full RUU for your device without actually resetting it. That step is the most dangerous thing to do unless you are instructed to do so.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Did you read the OP. What does the very first sentence say?

QUOTE: "Since all M8’s can have S-Off, (and ONLY if you get S-Off!) we can also update the Firmware without the need of HTC’s OTA’ or RUU, yet the stock update way will still remain the safest way. Stick to that if you don’t have reason to come here and choose this."
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
basically, YES. You need to be stock or as close to stock ROM as possible for Sunshine S-OFF to work. There are lots of threads detailing what is needed to change firmwares and CID/MID. Go for it, you'll be glad you did.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pankozin:
Thanks. i know how to do all steps (coz i was m7). But the question is: can i flash on VERIZON M8 WWE firmware instead of VERIZON firmware and WWE ROM instead of adapted to VERIZON rom. Can i change MID to HTC_032 or no? Will i receive signal after this conversion? Will i have other hardware incompatibilities? Or VERIZON = WWE in hardware (except the extended antenna band)?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Unfortunately I cannot answer that as I do not fully know the differences between the Verizon and WWE versions. Backup your original ROM and try is all I can offer at this time. With S-OFF you can flash any firmware so it would be a case of trial and error, just have patience. I know some who have flashed ARHD on Verizon phones after they have changed firmware etc. Go for it if you have the time and patience.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pankozin:
I'd be happy, but Verizon isn't supported buy sunshine jet. Crappy Verizon. HTC devises are so crappy. Why I still buy them from year to year?)

HTC M8 : move back from an AOSP Rom to a stock Rom

Hello,

When I unlocked and rooted my M8, I flashed directly CM 12,1. It was pretty easy. Now I want to go back to a sense custom Rom and I can't find a proper and clear way to do it. I know I have to go back to a Rom stock first. But, I haven't found the right tutorial. All of them start from a sense Rom.

I would like to find a tutorial to make the move from an AOSP Rom.

Further more, I have Mint KDE 17 installed on my computer. I want to use an Ubuntu console to do it, if possible. ADB and fastboot are installed and working well.

Thank you ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrrocketdog:
well , for me and my phone ; m8 , unlocked , s-off , superCID , i just did the normal wipe and flashed a sense ROM. easy peasy.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beer4661:
Hello,

I cant go S-off. Shunshine is only for Sense based Rom ( Rootninja response ), firewater doesn't work anymore. I can't find a way from an AOSP Rom.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
I don't understand what the problem is.

Make a backup in recovery.

Flash a Sense based ROM (MaximusHD works good for S-Off)

Gain S-Off.

Restore your AOSP backup
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beer4661:
I think I have difficulties to make me understood. I am in a AOSP Rom ( CM 12.1 ) . I want a safe way to go back to a sense ROM. All tutorials I have found are for phones already in Sence Roms, stock or custom.

It seems you can't go S-off once you are in a AOSP Rom.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Just flash a sense rom or your Nandroid backup that you made before going to CM 12. You did make a Nandroid, didn't you?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beer4661:
It is what I'll do.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The radio hardware is different, and that is not small thing. It also means the firrnware is different (since firmware includes radio baseband software).

So NO, you should NOT try to flash WWE firmware to the Verizon variant. Its a bad idea, and won't work, and may even brick the phone.

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

HTC phones are excellent. The main problem is that you didn't properly research before buying the phone. Verizon is just about the worst variant to buy unless you are actually on Verizon's network. Reasons being: lack of official bootloader unlock via HTCDev.com (and I believe the only M8 variant that is excluded from that) and the unnecessary hardware differences for CDMA.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

This is poor advice. You already stated you aren't aware of the differences. The hardware is different between Verizon and "GSM" M8 versions (including WWE) and the firmware is therefore NOT compatible, and may even result in a brick. Therefore, I do

NOT

advice the previous poster trying it.

You can make a "international" based ROM (like ARHD) work on the Verizon variant by flashing the proper

kernel

, not the

firmware

. Two very different things.

So, I can flash WWE Rom with Verizon kernel and it will work OK?

Can anyone verify that this app breaks the ability to use private mode? Once I enabled wifi tether using this app I get a "Failed to Enable Private Mode. Try Again" whenever I try to start it.

I read Xposed breaks it as well but I never installed that. This is the only thing I used.

If so any way to fix it? Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] idone:
Click "restore via HFA", or go to settings and do a profile update. This will completely undo the enabling of hotspot, so you should be able to rule it out, or not, as the culprit.

Let the phone reboot and do its thing. Then try private mode again.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] loonytunes:
Thanks idone. That ruled that out.. Did both the HFA and profile update. Still not working.. I don't know what could have happened with it, but appreciate your help

Sprint does not supoort 3g data and voice at the same time, if you are in 4g lte it shouldn't disconnect.(as of NH7 on note3 the device supoorts "voice over lte" I am not sure if making a hd voice call will make it disconnect or not.)

But when tethering with 3g, either wifi or usb, it will disconnect for the call to come through... that's just how sprints network works. I hate when I have a download going on 3g and a call kills it(some servers just don't support resume)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] shanda5303:
I'm using the 4g lte and I just tried calling my voice mail and tried to surf a website at the same time and it didn't work. It sucks because I never had this issue with my S4 but Veronicaamays said the Note works different unfortunately. :(
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] idone:
Well that does suck then, sorry. It's no good if you are on the go but here is how I use the usb tethering(from phone to pc, to wifi router) Not sure if on your note4 the usb tethering stops in calls but if it doesn't this might be helpfull, if you are using it at home that is.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] LMMT:
Non of the Sprint Spark devices allow calls and data, simultaneously, over LTE. For Samsung, this includes the S5 and the Note 4. The S3, S4, and the Note 2 and 3, allow talk and data simultaneously over LTE. When Sprint rolls out VoLTE (voice over LTE), mid 2015 (they say 2015, but you know how long it really takes Sprint to do anything), simultaneous voice and data, will be possible with the S5 and Note 4.

A work around, is to use the hangouts dialer, which routes your calls over the Internet.

Google search Sprint Note 4 (or S5) simultaneous voice and data, for more info.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] idone:
Voice over lte came on note 3 with the latest update, If note 4 didn't ship with it you would think they would add it sooner rather than later, hopefully.

Thanks for the info too! I never heard about triband phones not supporting 4g data and voice at the same time.

From my understanding, the phones are capable, it just hasn't been implemented, except in a few test cities.

But

I cannot get my Cradlepoint MBR-1000 router to work. I know it worked on my GS3 and it picked it up as a modem thru Sprint, but not the case with my Note 4. Then again, I did not try the Note 4 stock tethering.

This can save your tail

Well, as some of us know Comcast doesn't have the greatest service in the world, but for whatever reason, they just had a 2 day outage in my entire city of internet service. Sprint, just recently upgraded their towers in the city to give the entire area 4g service. I know a lot about Android and workarounds and I happen to have an unlimited data account with Sprint, so when this issue with Comcast came up, me and and wife were getting connections of 5-15m on my computer while everyone around me was getting squat. Before using this program, the software I had seen out there would always have a limit based on time. This simply made me able to get access to my data plan, as is the right thing to do! I just hope they don't mind me using the data on my desktop instead of the phone too much :D
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] idone:
Your router has usb input? If you use the native usb tethering, and if the router supports rndis then you should be good to go.

I just have a basic dlink 615, I usb tether and "bridge" the phones rndis with one of my 2 ethernet connections on the pc, then have that ethernet go to the input on my router. From there our house has wifi. One more connection from the routers lan connection back to the pc and then the pc thats giving the router internet is also on our lan now.
