You don't have it - that's what I just said. I'm sure the M8 version would work with little modification, but someone would need to build and maintain it (along with a compatible TWRP) and support added to the app. Additionally, kernels with kexec-hardboot support would be necessary for it to be used. Now I could probably do all of those things, but I have no reason to, especially since I don't even have the device and no incentive to do so.
[HTC One E8] kunalra:
Give a try,sir.

I guess ur wife own e8.

[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
And my wife barely lets me touch her device except to root it so she can use the particular apps she wants. Outside of that, I don't even look at her device.

So again, I say, no.
[HTC One E8] parthasd:
If I did flash the zip and cannot get the wifi etc. working, will it be possible to go back to stock 4.4.2 ROM with TWRP backup ( to get back to a fully functional phone)?

Many thanks.

I'm guessing you should be able to get back to a functional phone with a TWRP flash.

I'm going to try and get the RUU for version 1.26.720.6 (M8sd India) today. Will upload it if I can get it.

Tell me guys.. Can one downgrade to stable using an RUU of an older version?

Hi DutchDanny. I have the E8 (M8sw).

The MID is 0PAJ20000 and the CID is HTCCN703. How to gain SUPERCID number?
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
So after wasting 2 days on a very unstable Lollipop build, I finally popped my E8's cherry and unlocked the bootloader, rooted and restored a TWRP backup. I may have voided my warranty, but frankly, I'm happy I have my beloved phone back.. ;)
[HTC One E8] parthasd:
could you restore from a twrp backup or had to flash a RUU zip?
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
You need to be S-off for that.

Search xda on: SuperCID fastboot command.

[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
Whats the differnce with all 2's?
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
None, there are just several SuperCIDs. Also all 3's, 4's, etc.

So after I said I wouldn't build MultiROM for E8, I decided to try it anyway :rolleyes:. Built a kernel with kexec-hardboot for MultiROM support, built a MultiROM zip, and a MultiROM TWRP.

The kernel is built from mecul source, so I don't know if it'll work on Dual SIM, but it should work on 4.4.2 ROMs. So . . . anyone game to try out MultiROM?

Here's a link to some documentation on it: https://github.com/Tasssadar/multirom/wiki/Using-MultiROM

I guess there really aren't many custom ROMs or custom kernels for this device, so this may be pointless . . .

Here's the link to the folder with all the things in it:

https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Captain_Throwback/One (E8)/MultiROM

Let me know if any of it even works, lol. Make sure you backup first!
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
I'll give it a go, but testing L and/or KK is a bit hard with this, as we need to update firmware...

Gonna try some stuff tonight
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
You can test L as a secondary. WiFi won't work if your firmware isn't updated, but it'll at least let us know if MultiROM is working.
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
WiFi didn't work even when I updated firmware

Only your decryped version was flashable btw
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
Weird. Well it should still be good enough to test with. Could be the firmware just isn't fully compatible with your variant.
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
All hardware is the same. I changed MID I am SuperCID, so that should convert it to Full M8SD
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
I mean, WiFi worked on my M8, which has Lollipop firmware installed on it. So I'm not sure what to tell you. It should work just by flashing the firmware zip I uploaded and the ROM.

But at this point, my question is whether MultiROM works. The ROM is just stock, so any issues with that are out of my control. It should be possible to add the Lollipop ROM as a secondary in MultiROM TWRP. That's really what I want to know is or isn't working.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Please add the stable RUU for Indian version: LINK
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
never mind :)
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Guys anyone know how to extract the stock recovery from the Lollipop RUU? Has anyone done it?

I extracted this from the RUU zip: LINK

Is this it?
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
If it says recovery and it came from the zip, then that's it. I also have it if that doesn't work for you, for some reason (it's in the decrypted zip I uploaded).
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Would it be possible for you to upload that or share the file size? Mine is 16,638,208 bytes.

Thanks!
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
Better to verify checksum, don't you think? More reliable than size, as same size doesn't mean two files are identical and doesn't confirm the file isn't damaged/corrupt somehow.

MD5 of the recovery_signed.img I have is 3a8b9e4ab58e099bc9b4ec58c1ae880b.

Matched! Thanks!!
[HTC One E8] AkashKrish:
Thanks a Lot

First off thanks a lot you guys for developing things for this phone..

Gotta tell i wasnt able to find anything nearly close to this tread anywhere...

I am using a HTC one e8 m8sd from India for almost 3 months now.. I unlocked my bootloader, using TWRP recovery, Bindroid custom rom.. Didnt do anything else! Still S-On and I have the red splash text(I dont care about that)

While using bindroid i am experienced more battery drain than stock! WLAN is showing up in power consumption even if I switched off my WLAN in settings. And games are draining a lot more battery than usual. I have been trying to find the stock revovery ever since then. I called up the HTC india support and HTC Dev both of no use!

here's what i want to do

1. Get back onto stock : Will the TWRP recovery provided enough for that or should I use RUU??

2. If I get back onto stock using TWRP will I get OTA updates?

3. Or can I just use the TWRP backup of Lollipop provided?

Sorry If I am bothering you.. I read the entire thread but wasnt able to find any solution.
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
Just flash a stock TWRP backup, thats all you need, no need to go back to full stock.

There are stock recoveys posted in the OP they the same for most devices

Send via my BinDroided HTC E8 M8sw
[HTC One E8] AkashKrish:
Lollipop

So how to make WiFi work with S-On. I flashed the zip! Tried to switch on WiFi It Crashed!

You guys found any working method>?
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
Requires the firmware, which requires S-OFF to flash the firmware, unless you flash the full RUU.
[HTC One E8] AkashKrish:
hmmm, we don't have the full RUU so it won't work :/ I have used the TWRP stock recovery. How can I get lollipop OTA. By flashing stock recovery replacing TWRP and locking the bootloader?! will that work???

[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
What do you mean, we don't have the full RUU? That's where the ROM came from. You know, the one linked in the OP?

And there is no Lollipop OTA; just a leaked, buggy RUU. However, if you have the proper model ID and CID, you can still use the RUU to update your firmware and try out the new ROM, and then flash back to an older ROM (keeping the new firmware) once you're done playing. That requires a previous RUU or ROM though.
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
The original ruu didn't flash: fail due the image size is to large

Only your decrypted version was flashable for me

Send via my BinDroided HTC E8 M8sw
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
You tried flashing it via SD card (rename to 0PAJIMG.zip, put on root of external SD, reboot to HBOOT)? [MENTION=2507783]buggerman[/MENTION] was able to flash the original RUU zip with no issue. In order to flash it over fastboot, you have to use Windows and use HTC's fastboot.exe from one of their RUU.exes. Is that what you did?
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Use this RUU: http://xdaforums.com/one-e8/general/ruu-htc-one-e8-m8-ace-dwgl-m8sd-1-26-t3043266/post59175120

Don't do Lollipop RUU yet.
[HTC One E8] AkashKrish:
how to install that???
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Relock your bootloader and follow the instructions in the first post.

What is the software version it shows in the bootloader? (when you press vol down and power to turn it on)
[HTC One E8] AkashKrish:
hboot - 3.18.0.000
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Should work.. Seems you haven't done the Lollipop RUU yet. That's good.
[HTC One E8] AkashKrish:
no no I haven't done it

if I flash this it will get lollipop OTA update right??
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
I did that, flash via SD, and part 1 of the install worked. First bootloader, then it reboots... But when it comes to the system.img it fails with the error mentioned.

Send via my BinDroided HTC E8 M8sw
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
If only the system.img update fails, that's easily remedied by flashing just the boot and system images from my decrypted zip. After unlocking bootloader, that'll even work for people that are S-ON, giving them updated firmware and updated software from Lollipop.
[HTC One E8] buggerman:
Yup.. No reason why it won't..

By the way.. Went to the Sunshine IRC and found that the 3.0 release may happen this week!

Sent from my HTC One_E8 dual sim
[HTC One E8] parthasd:
I was also able to flash the lollipop via SD card. It was slow. Wifi did work but no google play store. reverted back to 1.26.720.6 from 2.1.xxx firmware by flashing the recently posted RUU by buggerman (again via SD card).

All I am interested in getting 4G/LTE in UK with my Indian M8SD. Tonight I am going to try to flash china unicom ruu after CID/MID modification and then flash european WWE TWRP backup to see if I can get 4G/LTE.
[HTC One E8] nerlim:
Does anyone know if you can have root permissions, without having a recovery mod?
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
fastboot boot recovery, reboot, when it prompts you to root, slide to install SuperSU. Now you're rooted, but still have stock recovery (if that's what you were asking).
[HTC One E8] nerlim:
No, I wanted to flash supersu, having a recovery stock.

Why ?? because I want to back up the recovery with an app that requires root
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
Um, yes, that's exactly what my instructions allow you to do. Booting recovery doesn't replace stock recovery - only flashing it does.

You can also backup recovery while you're in TWRP.
[HTC One E8] nerlim:
So kindly, you can repeat, because I did not understand.

How do I save the stock recovery, if before he flashed the TWRP?

: Confusa:: Confusa:

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

Or, there is a way to make a backup of the stock recovery, in an other way?
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
Don't flash TWRP. BOOT TWRP.

fastboot boot twrp.img

That will boot you into TWRP, where you can flash SuperSU to root your device (or let TWRP do it for you). You can also use the Terminal Emulator in TWRP or adb (from a computer) to backup the stock recovery.

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/stock_recovery.img

When you reboot, you'll be rooted, but you'll still have the stock recovery installed. You don't actually have to flash TWRP at all if you don't want to, so maybe you don't even need to backup stock recovery?
[HTC One E8] nerlim:
Thank mile, you're a legend.

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

by chance, since you're so good, you also know how to create a ruu? So I could share it.
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
RUUs are created by HTC, unfortunately, and I don't work for HTC (and even if I did, I probably wouldn't be allowed to share them).
[HTC One E8] AkashKrish:
could you please lead me anywhere to make a cyanogen mod for this phone... the official site wasn't that helpful :)
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
Start with building M8 files, and then modify for E8.
[HTC One E8] AkashKrish:
will that work?? m8 has a Qualcomm MSM8974AB Snapdragon 801 while e8 has an Qualcomm MSM8975AC Snapdragon 801 chipset??
[HTC One E8] Captain_Throwback:
That's how I built recovery for it. The kernel is where you'll have to make some minor changes, but that's a starting point. It might even boot with the M8 kernel - they're not really that different.
[HTC One E8] AkashKrish:
thanks a lot :)

Are you really going to build cm 11 or 12 for our device ??

[HTC One E8] cjmaaz:
I'll s-off my phone Soon. If I want to downgrade my firmware back (of 1.26.720.6). How to do so?
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
Before you do that backup your internal & external storage

Make sure you have the correct RUU.

Rename it to: 0PAJIMG.zip

Add it to you external storage

Reboot to bootlaoder and let the zip do its work

When it's done, reboot

Utopia
[HTC One E8] cjmaaz:
1. Do I need to use whole RUU just for updating firmware?

2. RUU makes changes in /system, boot, recovery and data. RUU is a Windows executable file. Isn't it?

3. Do RUU contains firmware?

I've RUU of 1.26.720.6 (uploaded by buggerman, I never used it). And there's a lollipop 5.0.2.zip provided by schqiushui (And also in your mirror).

4. Is that a flashable zip (TWRP) Or RUU? And in requirements schqiushui mentioned to flash firmware 2.21.720.1.

5. How to flash that firmware?

6. Is firmware also backed up while making twrp backup?

7. If not how should I back to previous firmware to use previous ROM v 1.26.720.6 (Backed up via TWRP).

I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm completely new in this root and advanced world of phones. I'm 16 year old boy who got HTC One E8 on his 16th birthday.

[HTC One E8] parthasd:
Same here.

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

First of all you are doing great. Just hang in there.

1. use the whole RUU. make sure the phone is charged up to at least 50%. copy the RUU zip to an external sd and rename it to 0PAJIMG.zip (its zero at the start not O). insert the ext sd. put the phone to bootloader. say yes by pressing volume up button. it will do the rest itself.

2. you are right

3. RUU contains firmware and it will install automatically if you are installing the 0PAJIMG.zip. the buggerman's is RUU (method given above). the schqiushui is a twrp flashable zip. However the schqiushui one did not work for my s-off indian M8sd.

4 and 5. I don't think the schqiushui zip will flash the firmware. you may have to have the trial version of lollipop RUU posted a few days ago. others may be able to show light on this.

6. no.

7. if you flash the 0PAJIMG.zip it will flash the firmware to v 1.26.720.6

Hope this helps.
[HTC One E8] DutchDanny:
The RUU can be an exe, but also as zip. The ruu as zip is flashed via bootloader.

It does contain firmware, and NO firmware is not in your TWRP backup.

The lollipop I mirrored as a custom Rom without firmware.

Firmware.zip posted in this thread is flashed as a ruu.zip

To switch firmware you need to flash a full ruu or an adjusted zip file that only contains the firmware
