Am I missing something or is there no way to downgrade an M8 to stock firmware from the latest OTA if the phone is unrooted and s-on? I am not able to find any way to even get s-off to be able to try anything. The latest OTA has caused so many issues with my phone and there doesnt seem to be anyway of undoing the update.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
If you're s-on you can't downgrade. You're pretty much stuck where you're at. Until or unless an exploit is found to gain s-on for 5.0.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] metalpres:
Would it be possible to get s-off and install a custom firmware if I was to call verizon and have them unlock the phone? I tried unlocking the bootloader through htcdev but it says that its no allowed by the service provider, would verizon be able to unlock it? I thought I remember hearing that providers were required to unlock a phone if you request it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Vzw isn't going to unlock your boot loader.. If you can use sunshine to get s-off is bout the only way on Vzw you will get it. Vzw phones r blocked on htcdev that's why it won't work on there.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You are confusing three things. Boot loader unlock is banned by vzw through HTC dev. Vzw doesn't need to do sim unlocks anymore because they do globally unlocked phones. They cannot help you with unlocking anything. S-off is the only way to downgrade. Even unlocked boot loader won't allow it.

Hi there guys, I am S-off and rooted but I need to get S-on and Unroot my M8 for warranty purpouses? any help or can you guys point me in the right direction? I installed latest 0P6BIMG.zip via hboot. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Would you rather I tell you how to do it after asking you some questions or just help you get back to stock via team viewer?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Edu616:
What would the easiest way be ? I have already done the latest 0P6BIMG.zip via hboot so what follows ? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Rooted or non-rooted ruu?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Edu616:
It's the rooted one because it is for lollipop and the one that I found was that one. Can I unroot using super su unroot feature?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You need to use that su to run the adb command to lock your boot loader. Then you can uninstall su from within the app. Then turn s-on. Make sure your boot loader is locked before turning s-on.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Edu616:
What's the command or what do I need to do to relock my boot loader? And how do I turn s-on again? Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
with your phone connected to your PC and booted up.. open an adb cmd prompt and run the following commands (cut copy past the long one)

adb shell

su

(make sure you accept su prompt on phone and your cmd prompt changes to a #)

echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796

exit

adb reboot-bootloader

Verify bootloader screen now says "locked"

At this point I would probably flash the s-on L ruu to remove su and clear any/all red text. After flashing RUU.. you can turn s back on with the following fastboot command

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

Thanks a lot for the help man I really appreciated!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AlPoo:
Wasn't sure where or who to ask for help, created thread in Q&A. Trying to warranty device. But USB port is shot, so all methods will have to be SD card. Will the stock firmware put me back on s-on? is that something i should worry about. sorry if this is the wrong place. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If no usb.....you can't turn s-on. We could lock. But that's about it. Are you sure it's 100% shot?

Edit...if you really want to risk bricking we might be able to figure it out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AlPoo:
it doesn't want to charge unless it's in a certain position. Worried about it disconnect mid data transfer.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I would be a hundred times more safer if you locked it into the working position and left me remotely do it so you aren't touching it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AlPoo:
The only way I have to judge is if it's charging. if I were to have it "locked", what would be my next step?

As stated it doesn't like charging and it takes a while, currently it's at 3%, if you suggest it at 30% like in RUU it would take a while.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If you were able to prop it in working fashion it would need locked.....ruu'd factory reset and s turned on.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AlPoo:
Locked? So run 5.0.1 RUU or the firmware only (shouldn't need pre rooted?) And as for taking care of the other two?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes. Adb command to lock. It will show locked if done properly. Not relocked. Then I manually factory reset via cmd line. Then I flash my s-on ruu. Then if all is well I use the fastboot command to officially turn s-on. Any step out of order or missed means you lock the phone and throw away the keys.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] AlPoo:
Will all of these be checked for warranty? I live in a rural area. Any data transfer not loaded by my phone's 4g will be dreadfully slow. I take it a drop in service would be the same as tossing keys.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Any chance of getting to somewhere with WiFi? HTC will check and will decline fixing a phone based on that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
This is probably a stupid question but have you tried another cable? I've had a couple go bad and they act just as you're describing. Have to get the cable in a certain position to get it to charge. Same goes if I use the problem cable to connect it to a PC. If I use a different cable and it works just fine. Just a thought.

Phone going haywire.

Hey man. Thanks for the package. I would not have been able to update my phone to lollipop had it not been for this. I updated my phone using this around a month ago. It was really smooth and i had no issues, until i ran into a problem recently. The performance has been deteroriating progressively and just recently, when i clear an app from the recent apps menu, a message pops up saying 'System UI has stopped working'. I tried restarting but it didn't help, so i reset my phone but that too, to no avail. And there's more to it- this only happens when i use the 'Card view' layout in recent apps menu. The grid view is really really slow in my phone, which is why i have to use the card view. Can you please help me out with this? Thank you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Any other apps installed like Xposed or any mod packs installed?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MoronicWeasel:
Thanks for the prompt reply. No i do have any apps like xposed or anything installed. I haven't even rooted my phone. I was on kitkat, s off when i installed this ruu.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If you flashed the s-on ruu it doesn't wipe. So it could be related to problems with app data. If it were me I would probably backup using HTC backup and re-run the ruu. And then only restore apps/data from the htcbackup app

Make sure you factory reset during this.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MoronicWeasel:
I tried that too. not really worried about backup or apps as this is my secondary phone and i synced everything with the other one. So i just factory reset it right away and then flashed the ruu. Installed only the social media apps, download manager and a file manager. That's all. It was working fine at start and this problem started recurring again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
ok.. then flash the RUU again... the s-on one.. but before you flash it... do

fastboot oem task 28

fastboot oem task 29

then flash the RUU.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MoronicWeasel:
Alright, i'll do that. Thank you. Will report if the problem persists.

Problem,

So i attempted to update my phone with the 5.0.1 RUU .exe file, and it got about half way through and failed. now all my screen is showing is the htc logo with 4 triangles with explanation points in each corner. So i tried to run the 4.4.4 RUU .exe, and it faild as well. said it couldent connect to the phone. how can i fix this? currently im unlocked and S-Off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xunholyx:
Run the 501. When it comes up as a fail, run it again without disconnecting.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Simply restart the 5.0.1 ruu. You may have to unplug the USB for a second to reset the connection.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Quadrider10:
Oh thank YOU!!! thought i had a brick there! idk why it did this in the first place?! i dident unplug the USB cable...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Four triangles is a safety guard. Just means one partition failed to flash. Likely was that /data partition. Second pass of same ruu usually clears that up b

I can’t believe I’m the only person who experienced this issue, but, prior to Lollipop, every time I tethered Windows 7 would spend a minute or more trying to detect/configure the Wi-Fi connection before I could get on the Internet. Now, since upgrading to Lollipop, this setup/detect/configuration process is fast/takes as much time as any other Wi-Fi connection. Life is good!

So, has anyone else experienced this issue prior to Lollipop and has it been resolved for them in Lollipop?

Hello everyone.

Two hours ago I received the notification about the Android 5.0 update. I downloaded it and hit "Install". Then, "TeamWin" started, but not the update. I rebooted into System and tried to update again - but it tells me that 4.4.4 is the latest version I can get now. I'm on Build KTU84P now.

1) Do I need to remove TeamWin? If yes, with what?

2) How can I start the update again? I'm on a super slow connection and it would hurt to download the 500 MB again…

Thank you!

You need to remove TeamWin, and load up your stock recovery. I don't have the exact instructions for this unfortunately.

The OTA update will come back to your phone soon, usually. Did for me within the hour.
