[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Yes, the 4.4.4 ROM MUST have 3.28.xxx.x firmware in order to function properly. You're still on much older firmware which is why you have excessively long boot up times, wifi/data problems(Outdated radio) etc. In order for the ARHD 21.0 to work correctly you must be on the correct firmware(4.4.4 android version, 3.28.401.6/7 <<<If you're international version which you are). This has been the case for some time now, you can do an easy google search "htc one m8 xda ..." along with something like "slow boot up" etc and you'll see that all of them had the same problems, outdated firmware.

Which is why you'll have to go back to stock and do the OTA updates as it comes. If you were S-OFF you could have done it manually and flashed the firmware manually but since you're S-ON you can't do it. Flashing Radio firmware you'll need to either be a) S-OFF or b) Official HTC OTA.

Thanks man! I'm now on 3.28.401.6.

Before your post, I hadn't understood that I needed restore from 1.54.401.x backup (I almost restore 3.28.401.7).

Firewater didn't work in my device, so I have to pay $25 to be S-OFF (and $25 is a lot of money when converting to reais - currency of Brazil)

I will come back tomorrow to give you Thanks (reach my max today). :D

PS: The 3.28.401.7 update didn't arrive to my device.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RenBund88:
Confused!!!

I'm really confused!! I'm not that hardcore at all..

All i want is to update from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 so I can Update from ViperOne 2.5 to 3.0.

I tried to flash a Stock Recovery called "stock_recovery_1.54.401.5_recovery.img" and I think it succeeded. Hard to see a difference. But I followed a guide made by Sakitech on Youtube. Then I searched for any updates. But it said "No update currently available". So I just flashed the custom Recovery again.

Sorry.. But I'm a Dummy :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peggy1104:
I am having some major issues too. Im just wanting to go back to stock so I can use sunshine to S-off my phone. My CID is ORANG001 so i got a nandroid backup 1.54.61.5 which is the correct stock and the corresponding stock recovery, all went well but not only does Sunshine still refuse to work, if i take any OTA updates, the first installs ok but then my wifi wont work, ie the switch will not turn green it just goes grey, any ideas!!?!!?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BernardoMorais:
I think I can help you. After all my mistakes, I think I have learn something.

To update to 4.4.4 (and for ViperOne 3.0) you need to update your firmware first. To do that, you have 3 options:

1) S-OFF and update your firmware by flashing a simple file.

2) S-ON and search your EXACTLY modelid and cidnum on this thread

3) -That one BerndM14 help me in previous posts - Check your firmware and return your phone (ROM and Recovery) to stock basing on firmware version. This post explain better.

Like BerndM14 said to you, it is just necessary you to download any x.xx.401.x backup AND any x.xx.401.x stock recovery. After that, follow the instructions of the second question of the post. You will unzip the backup and inside, find a file called 'boot.emmc.win' or 'boot.win'. You have to flash this (fastboot), do a full wipe and then restore the backup (custom recovery). After all you return to bootloader (rebooting) and flash the recovery with this:

fastboot flash recovery <recoveryName>

That it. At least, what I understand. Any advanced user could confirm this informations?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RenBund88:
I think I got a Little closer now. Let med undrstand this S-OFF right. Does that make everything a lot easier??

I tried flashing Again yesterday, but without any luck. I downloaded a major stock backup zip file, but I'm not sure how to flash it. I wish I could Just hand it over to someone, but I vant find anyone here in Denmark who is cabable at doing this. ?.

I think The biggest problem is that i dont know where, when and what to flash ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peggy1104:
Any ideas guys!? would it have something to do with differant firmware version, ie when the ota is installed it is sitting on an incompatable

firmware version? i know you should flash the boot.emmc.win file before restoring a stock rom but how do i do that with an ota?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BernardoMorais:
I think S-OFF let the things much more easier. My m8 is S-ON so I don't know a lot of this, but there is some tutorial about firewater. If this tool doesn't work for you (like happen to me), you will have to pay $25 for Sunshine. From what I read, this method is guaranteed to get S-OFF.

With S-OFF, you will find some posts with updates of the firmware. So you don't have to go back to stock to update it.

To continue from where you stop, you have to follow this post. Like I said before, download any x.xx.401.x backup AND any x.xx.401.x stock recovery and follow the instructions of "How do i restore the stock nandroid backup" question (same post).

You don't flash the major stock backup zip file. You RESTORE it, on your custom recovery (TWRP or Philz) according from which recovery the backup was made (for example, if you download this one: 1.54.401.5 - TWRP Thanks to Fisha21. This backup was made on TWRP so you have to restore it on TWRP. But before restore, you need to flash the "boot.img or boot.emmc.win" file that is INSIDE this backup zip file. After that you make a full wipe in recovery and then RESTORE the major backup (remember, you don't restore the zip file, you have to unzip it on your phone like is said on the "How do i restore the stock nandroid backup" question of the post).

After all, you will flash the recovery of the same version that you download on the same post.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

You looked your firmware version, befere restore the 1.54.61.5 version? You have to check the CID AND the main version of your phone, like it said on the beggining of the post:

Take the main version number and CID and check if it exists in the collection below ! If it doesn't you can always make a request here.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peggy1104:
My main version number is 2.26.61.5 I think but I asked weather using 1.54.61.5 would be OK and was told it would be fine as its *.**.61.* based backup. Is this incorrect as they use a different firmware base?? Is this whats causing my issues??

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BernardoMorais:
Honestly, I don't know. Why don't you know exactly your main-version? It is empty when you run "fastboot getvar version-main" ?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:

Post 3 has OTA collection, you can extract the firmware.zip from inside the OTA.zip file. That'll give you the 2.x firmware, I don't know if there is a 3.x available for your device or not.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BernardoMorais:
Like BerndM14 said:

Download any x.xx.401.x backup (HTC__001 will be fine).

After that, let your custom recovery (TWRP), and do this:

1) Place the nandroid backup unpacked on the sdcard of the phone in the right backup folder.

If you don't know your right backup folder:

TWRP\Backups\ or TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ (replace serialnum with your device's serial number. To have TWRP create the proper directory structure for you, just do a simple backup of just the boot partition and put the backup files in there)

2) Flash the boot.img or boot.emmc.win file from the nandroid backup with this command (fastboot mode):

fastboot flash boot boot.img

PS: Don't flash the boot.img with "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" command. That's why you had to flash TWRP again.

3) Access your custom recovery (TWRP)

4) Make a full wipe

5) Restore the nandroid backup and reboot

PS: Restore option is on TWRP > Restore. After access this, it will ask you to choose the folder that your have unzipped on the fisrt step (the one in the TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ folder).

6) Your phone now will be stock, BUT to receive OTA updates your ROM must be stock and your recovery must be stock. So, download a recovery that is with the same number of your downloaded backup (For example, if you download the x.xx.401.x backup, download the x.xx.401.x recovery too. If there is no exactly number for the recovery, download the one that start with the same number. For example, if you download x.xx.401.x backup you can download the recovery of x.xx.YY.Y version).

7) After you do the initial configurations of the stock ROM, access the fastboot again and flash the downloaded recovery with this command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.emmc.win

That's it. Now with the stock ROM and the stock recovery, you can receive OTA updates (Settings>About>Softwares Updates).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peggy1104:
I have downloaded that file, I presume that is the ota that I get notified about after I do the first one which causes my WiFi to stop working.

How do I go about extracting the firmware from the ota that I downloaded? Is there a way to manually install the ota as a whole?

I followed every single step from your guide! Actually I'm doing OTA's as we speak!! :D

A did this exactly steps with my HTC M8. The bootloader is unlocked and it is S-ON. This works flawless for me. My device get all OTA's updates and then I could install another ROM.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

Yes, you didn't have to flash the ROM. I don't know what exaclty is flashed with the boot or boot.emmc.win image. The Nandroid Backup replaces every ROM file so, I think we can say that the stock ROM is alreadly in the backup. :)

I don't think that relock the bootloader will make any difference, since HTC made the bootloader unlock by it own site (www.htcdev.com). Maybe it makes difference for selling.

1. So if i am S-Offed, i need not restore nandroid backup, flash stock recovery all that?

2.You mean i just need to flash the firmware.zip corresponding to mine right?

Hi, after reading many pages i'm confused....

I'm S-ON.

I need to return to stock from ViperOne 1.8.0 to recive the OTA.

Before change ROM i made (just after the root) a TWRP backup of stock ROM (full).

Is sufficent to restore this backup from TWRP or need other actions?

Thanks

Alex
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need to restore stock recovery as well. If you don't, the OTA will look for stock recovery to install the update, fail to find it and OTA will fail to install. You will probably also be stuck in a bootloop (as the phone keeps trying to boot into stock recovery).

Since its kind of a "trick" to use custom recovery to backup stock recovery, you probably haven't done so, and need to look at the following thread to see if your stock recovery is posted:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alx0363:
Ok..thanks but i have also another doubt:

The boot.img must be flashed via PC (fastboot) or via TWRP (and so on every time tell flash in explanation in post 26).

Thanks

P.s.: answer myself...following post 26 and use fastboot with PC when needed...perfectly back to stock, retrive OTA's and now on ViperOne 3.0.1. :good:

Here is some explanation: http://www.androidcentral.com/kitkat-sdcard-changes?nopaging=1

It was a security issue (apps could overwrite other apps data, even for malicious reasons). There should have been a permission to allow file managers to work around that, but for some stupid reason Google decided against it. And Samsung can easily turn on writing to sd card by default if they wanted to.
