I'm really new to this but can anyone help. I have a Vodafone UK branded M8. If I use Sunshine to unlock the boot loader and get S OFF, change the CID to 001, how do I get to stock EU HTC Sense so I can get future ota updates as well?

I'm really lost with so many different and old guides.
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
Exactly what I did. I downloaded 3.28.401.6 from the op, in this thread, and changed file name and followed instructions from here,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2824048

After s-off I flashed twrp, custom recovery, to take nandroid of Voda os and saved to memory stick. Then used above instructions after renaming downloaded 3.28.401.6 from this thread, then I got official 401.9 ota. After flashing ruu it also changed "software status" from modified to official.

Was all very simple and painless.

Edit, flashing twrp to take a backup of Voda os isn't 100% necessary, but advisable.

NIce! RUU faster than OTA:p :good:
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
First thing you need, must, do is gain s-off. Sunshine is the only way to achieve that but, I think, it depends on which hboot you're on. I ran sunshine as soon as I took handset out box, and before it took any ota's. Sunshine won't charge you if your handset is not compatible, it does "checks" first.

[One (M8) General] CouldntThinkOfAUsername:
I got it in October from Vodafone on sale and not been turned on.

If I do use TWRP and make backup, I assume flashing the firmware from this thread will put it back to stock recovery and now I'll be able to receive official OTA HTC updates rather than bloatware from Voda?
[One (M8) General] 10rdan:
That's correct. I used the 401.6 ruu and it then took the, official, 401.9 update.

It puts everything to stock so you get HTC ota's. Remember to change your CID before flashing, AND remove the file from your ext sd card after flashing. Otherwise it'll flash is every time you re boot the phone.

It, pretty much, tells you what to do in first few lines of the op in this thread.

When renaming the downloaded file, the first character is a zero.

Remember and ignore any software update notifications after you turn phone on for first time, otherwise Sunshine might not work.

[One (M8) General] Electronic Punk:
Well good thing there are guides out there then and I am sure none of them say to flash an ota via fastboot.
[One (M8) General] Adrianiii:
Haha sorry i thought it was a RUU.
[One (M8) General] Electronic Punk:
You should be able to put it on one of the sdcards and flash from stock recovery via various hardware button pushes, but I don't have the details.

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

Infact, take it all back - it is a signed RUU so it should work.

Is your device locked or relocked?
[One (M8) General] iJekyll:
What? it's not an OTA, it's a full RUU with firmware, system, etc.

The problem with the fastboot always occurs, you just should type the command twice (it will always fail at first attempt)
[One (M8) General] Electronic Punk:
Are you locked or relocked?

HAve you tried flashing from the sdcard?

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Yeah realised that when I saw its 1.5gig, barely into my first coffee here :D
[One (M8) General] iJekyll:
:P

Anyway, to Adrianiii - First, you must be S-OFF. and when you try to flash it, you should try again after the first try cause it will fail at first (it's always like that with RUU's and firmwares)
[One (M8) General] Adrianiii:
Im S-ON and Relocked bootloader, how do i flash from sdcard?
[One (M8) General] iJekyll:
Rename the file to: 0P6BIMG (make sure it's zip file)

Insert the sdcard in the device, and boot your phone to bootloader, it'll recognize the file and ask you for the update, just confirm it.
[One (M8) General] Adrianiii:
now it working, thx man.
[One (M8) General] wetxxx:

Please help!

I originally had a boot loader of 3.16 and downloaded the stock odexed 3.28.401.9 android revolution rom provided in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735235&page=41#post58457550. I also then flashed the 3.28.401.9 firmware after locking the boot loader of my one m8. However the wifi doesn't seem to work. I thought a workaround would be to flash the new Android 5.0.1 - 4.16.401.10 RUU so that I can update my boot loader thus allowing me to flash the newer custom rom (and also get my wifi working again).

[One (M8) General] gerrard_ss:
just convert from GPE to stock using this ruu. if you already have correct cid and mid, you can flash this zip via fastboot oem rebootRUU.
[One (M8) General] mattman83:
It should also work by simply having it in the root of your external Sd card and rebooting to hboot.

It will convert back from anything to euro stock. It will wipe your phone, replace bootloader, recovery etc, reset partitioning and the lot.

As pointed out you will need s-off as it's an old version and and several things will want to downgrade. Cid/mid must match.

If you are s-off and have right cid/mid then it's a good "get out of jail free" card because as long as you have a functioning bootloader you can get back to stock and start again.

First you cant flash this like any zip. You need to first go into OEM RUU Mode.

Go into fastboot

type

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip zipfile.zip

then it should work.

ASWELL: This file is to large for transfering to SD-card in windows. To solve this, either remove the SD-card and copy it with a sd-reader on the computer OR use ADB to "adb push filename.zip /sdcard2/" and wait.

After that you should just reboot to fastboot and it should ask if you want to flash it. This requires that the file is in the ROOT of external SD-card and has the right filename (0P6BIMG.zip)
[One (M8) General] boringalex:
I am not quite a begginer, I know how to use fastboot.

Neither method worked for me using the zip in the first post (nor fastboot or HBOOT update).

I am currently downloading the .exe from HTC (from HTC One M8 support page). If anyone needs it, here it is. I don't know why it has BrightstarUS in the filename, but it is posted for the develper/unlocked version of the device. You can see it in the bottom of the page. Unfortunately we need Windows to flash it this way.

[One (M8) General] ducted:
[MENTION=905717]esiemi[/MENTION]:

That message in red color is because you unlocked your bootloader, and will appear even if you lock or relock it. This is not a developer nor beta RUU, it's final release for HTC Europe.

It will appear booting into recovery and will notice you in the last step while configuring your device for first use.

There are modified hboots without the red message around XDA, also tutorial to hexedit yourself. But better to do not touch anything if you're not pretty sure about what are you doing.

Cheers,

For some reason my download always fails at the end of it, tried downloading on my m8 and on my windows using 3 different browsers i know the file is encrypted by HTC and won't open but it shows download failed at the very end of the download every time and the file is gone.

edit: tried another link and it worked.

[One (M8) General] Levathian92:
Flash TWRP and reboot, it will ask for applying root.

You need the HTC_fastboot.exe version to flash it, otherwise stick it on an SD card
