You have to rename the zip to 0P6BMG. ZIP all capital letters and the first is a zero. Then put it in the root of your external sd card meaning not in a folder. Then reboot into hboot and it will ask you to confirm the update. Let it Finnish then boot out back to your rom and delete the zip from your SD card otherwise it will keep asking you if you want to install it every time you boot into hboot. Done.

Good night xda,

thanks for the help. First made my CID to 11111111, then flashed the firmware from hboot, because i recognized that there is a standby bug with the wifi on a Android L Rom.

I also flashed the ROM and a new Recovery but I have a lock icon under the HTC boot Logo. My Device is S-Off and in the Bootloader it says Unlocked. Also the Bootloader is black :D

sorry for the noob questions but i searched for a solution in the web but really found nothing.

thanks for help.

I guess the best question to avoid confusion that will help the most people (myself included) is:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwapro:
Same here. I'm on an AT&T device, and want to run ARHD based on 5.0.1, but don't know how to update the firmware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
S-off (if not already) change CID to that of Dev Ed, or alternately SuperCID.

Than flash Dev Edition 4.16.1540 firmware, or alternately 4.16.1540 Dev Edition RUU.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BBEgo:
Will flashing the Dev edition firmware you suggested satisfy the incremental FW upgrade requirement? I am currently on 4.4.2, and I was under the impression I'd have to flash 4.4.3 FW first.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That's actually a good question. It depends on whether the firmware was pulled from the OTA or the RUU. I'd follow whatever instructions are given in the particular firmware thread. If at all in doubt, run the RUU, as the firmware package with the RUU is always a complete one (no incremental update needed). Just backup any personal data on your internal storage, as RUU will wipe internal storage.

RUU is how I updated to the 4.16.1540 firmware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BBEgo:
Ok thanks. I found the 4.4.3 RUU that caused battery drain and eventually got pulled, and thought installing that just temporarily would allow the bump up to 4.4.4. Wish I could find flashable firmware from that build. Guess I might as well just wait til I get home tonight to play with it some more.

Been learning a lot today. I'm coming from Verizon. It's much less complicated using Big Red's devices cuz you don't have to deal with all the different carrier codes and all that. I thought I was pretty good at this stuff, but there's a lot more to take into consideration on a GSM phone.

S-off and Root were the easy bits!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You can find 3.281540 and 4.16.1540 firmware zips here: http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365

WNC just uploaded 4.16.1540, otherwise I would have referenced it earlier.

Also, this is a pretty nice ROM, if you are on AT&T.

You can also use the 4.16.1540 Dev Edition RUU, which is also pretty nice: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777

Hi,

I was following the directions of http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048 . I renamed the file, placed in the sdcard folder, went to go into hboot and nothing happened. I am S-OFF, with superCID. What it did show me on hboot was that it was checking to see if certain firmwares were on the card but all checks failed.

Here is a picture of what it showed me

Flash the Sprint Marshmallow 6.20.651.3 firmware, then the 6.20.651.3 RUU from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

A word of warning, do

not

attempt to flash any other (besides Sprint) firmware or RUU. This won't work, and may result in a permanent radio brick!

What specific band (or bands) does your carrier use for 3G,and what band for LTE? Based on the this website, it appears that most India carrier use 2100 MHz for 3G, and 2300 MHz for LTE. But the 2100 MHz band for 3G should

already

be supported by the Sprint version M8 (probably

the

most common 3G band in the world), so something is wrong. My suggestion would be to first baseline to the current 6.20.651.3 RUU as indicated above, see if that helps, and go from there.

Q&A BOT sent this here? lol

I saw this post on my thread this morning, and PMed him that I would help him when I got home. Thanks for getting it started. The post is gone from my thread now.

The strange thing here is that he is indeed on Sprint and shows Sprint firmware on the phone, but the CID is for the Sprint H/K version.

I would suggest that he changes the CID to SuperCID and try the RUU for both versions to see if either is better than the other.

OR......just use the H/K RUU instead of the regular Sprint one as that will flash without changing the CID at all (the radio bands shouldn't be any different).

I'll send him another PM with a link to here.

Of course feel free to add any input here [MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION]. I haven't really been using my M8 for almost a year now, so there's a good chance I'm missing something here. I'm a little rusty.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
How did you flash the firmware, through SD card or through fastboot? Through fastboot, you should have got an error (error 90 hboot pre-update) that tells you to flash (flush) again immediately. Flash the firmware again, and if you see error 90, flash the firmware again without disconnecting.

If that doesn't work, you may have to flash 4.xx firmware first. I'm not sure how OMJ makes his firmware packages and if he includes incremental updates in them like Sneakghost does. If not, you may have to update to Lollipop (4.xx) firmware before updating to Marshmallow (6.xx)

Try my first suggestion first.

It also could be that the first boot takes a while also, so maybe your phone is already running. :D

You didn't read my post properly, or you misunderstood it.

I stated to flash the 6.20.651.3 firmware,

then run the 6.20.651.3 RUU

(but firmware and RUU on the same link). The RUU will restore the stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

No longer booting to OS is normal and expected after flashing signed firmware, as it expects the RUU to be run immediately after.

To get to bootloader in such "stuck" situations:

1) Hold power+vol up until the phone reboots (may need to hold the buttons about a minute, in a "stuck" situation).

2) The moment screen goes dark to reboot, let go of the power+vol up buttons,

only

hold the vol down button. Don't let go until the bootloader screens appears

3) If you just get stuck on the HTC logo screen again, you simply got the button timing wrong. Either you started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early. Just repeat Steps 1 and 2, until you get it right (in bootloader).

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

I know there are some apps to read CID, which report incorrectly what is in build.prop. Which I believe is the same as the terminal emulator command above. That isn't the right place to read CID and MID. I would only trust what is on the bootloader screen, and/or fastboot getvar all.
