[HTC One E8] pokedude750:
Worked on Mine. No Error's.
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
sweet, thanks
[HTC One E8] hernandezah123:
there is a problem with the rom, if you go to camera, mostly all features are gone except selfie and camera, can you fix that?
[HTC One E8] gregferns:
As expected ,,,, i flashed and it installed fine.... booted welll...

BUT no signal,it tried to connect to network but no signal.... maybe because its sprint usa and i am in india with indian networks on both sims...

Could not do anything,, so had to restore my nandroid.....

Anyways,, keep up the good work ... cheers ...

[HTC One E8] OMJ:
OP updated w/ the stock rooted ROM....if there is enough req, I may consider building a custom Sprint ROM similar to our M8 ROM

this is a stock rooted ROM based from the RUU, not sure why those camera options are not there...there should be a camera update in the store that should fix

just to confirm, you have a Sprint E8? and is your sim unlocked?
[HTC One E8] pokedude750:
I'd personally enjoy a Custom Sprint E8 Rom. Would be willing to beta test.

[HTC One E8] OMJ:
[MENTION=4402744]pokedude750[/MENTION]

I suspect all of our 4.4.3 based mods from M8 will work, but they need to be tested...

flash this mod 1st, it will disable signature checking! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ihbp0poy962tmcv/Bad_Boyz_Sprint_ONE_E8_Services.zip?dl=0

then flash these mods one at a time, take note if each work...https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kfvjyq5cdoe3lv6/AACOgpIj_ye8mWy52kPxR83Oa?dl=0

if any of the mods fail, you can copy the original files from the stock rooted ROM into the mod & reflash....use 7zip, drag the file(s) into the zip overwriting

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

ahh, I see that now.. [MENTION=2035300]gregferns[/MENTION], this ROM is for Sprint E8 only
[HTC One E8] pokedude750:
OK, Will test after classes tomorrow.
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
[MENTION=4402744]pokedude750[/MENTION] did u get a chance to test?
[HTC One E8] fcarlton24:
Would somebody be able to help me by uploading a compete stock nandroid backup? I've soft bricked my Sprint E8. Thanks!
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
If you don't get any help, you can either flash the ruu or stock rooted rom
[HTC One E8] fcarlton24:
The RUU for whatever reason wont flash to my phone. And the Stock Rooted ROM won't flash untill I flash the RUU so currently I've troubleshooting to get the RUU to flash. Here's my current problem. I'm using the RUU.exe provided from sprint to update the phone. I've also tried to manually flash the RUU through fastboot. Close but no cigar the phone keeps getting hung up on something. I think that if I get a backup from someone that I might be able to flash it and bring the phone back. Thoughts?
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
The ruu is pretty straightforward, are you s-on? If so, did you relock bootloader?

To flash via fastboot you need to extract the rom.zip from the ruu.

I can also upload the firmware, that you can flash to restore the partitions.
[HTC One E8] fcarlton24:
Working on flashing the RUU currently. I would appreciate anything you would upload concerning the sprint e8. I'm tobthe point that I'm trying everything in the how that it will work by a miracle.

---------- Post added at 03:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

I am on s-on with an unlocked and tampered bootlaoder. Honestly though i kind wish my problem was that i relocked the booy loader. Wouldn't that be a relief.

---------- Post added at 04:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 AM ----------

Okay I got this. Don't understand why or how because I'm unlocked and the only reason I can think of why this would have happened is if I was locked.

[HTC One E8] OMJ:
you may need to relock the bootloader first...I added more info to OP, I also forgot I already had the firmware in OP.

try this method...

Flash Firmware via Hboot (requires micro sd card)....

-rename firmware to 0PAJIMG.zip

-copy 0PAJIMG.zip to ext_sd card

-boot into bootloader

-make sure hboot is highlighted, press power button

-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update

-press volume up & let it do it's thing...
[HTC One E8] fcarlton24:
Okay great I've installed the firmware via sd card. Now in proceeding to flash the RUU and then aROM.
[HTC One E8] yaostyle:
Thanks [MENTION=506238]O.M.J[/MENTION] I was able to flash RUU to version 1.22.651.1 without a problem. Now that SunShine won't work with this version (yet) I have to wait for S.S. 3.0 to get S-Off. Then flash a custom rom.

Hopefully it's happening soon after X'mas.
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
cool....fyi---u don't need s-off to flash a custom ROM :)
[HTC One E8] yaostyle:
[MENTION=506238]O.M.J[/MENTION] I see. Well, I need S-OFF to change cid and unlock my sprint carrier to other GSM's..
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
gotcha...in case u missed the steps to unlock SIM.....Steps to unlock SIM
[HTC One E8] yaostyle:
[MENTION=506238]O.M.J[/MENTION] yup can't wait to run all these steps.. good job, man!
[HTC One E8] yaostyle:
[MENTION=506238]O.M.J[/MENTION] can TWRP backup data able to downgrade firmware?? If so, what if I obtain a TWRP backup with older firmware will that work for current SunShine?

Thanks.

no, TWRP backups don't contain firmware

Or maybe instead of flashing the attached Badboyz zip flashing the SIM_UNLOCK.zip found on http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/37096-tutorial-how-to-unlock-htc-one-m8-sprint-for-gsm/

or the HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk used for unlock m7 and m8

????

why whith this one is mandatory to S-OFF if I have unlocked Sprint m7 and m8 remaining S-ON?

I will wait an answer of someone more expert than me before I continue messing with my device.

Thank you[/QUOTE]

u are welcome to try...but I worked w/ [MENTION=3624996]briankariu[/MENTION] for some time trying to do the same, the apk fc's. our hacked apk is based on 4.4.3 & your 1.12 OS is 4.2.2 I believe. so upgrading to 1.22 was needed. from what I've gathered you need to be s-off....bite the bullet, buy sunshine, update to 1.22 & unlock your sim :)
[HTC One E8] mapo01:
Thank you for your reply

Software 1.12.651.1 is 4.4.2 Sense 6

As far as I know S-OFF is necesary to downgrade H-boot.

I have installed custom Roms with S-ON a few times.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
yes u can install roms w/ s-on, but there are many u can't do...having s-off just gives u many options, like downgrade
[HTC One E8] mapo01:
For what is the boot.img that is inside the Bad_Boyz_Sprint_ONE_E8_SIM_unlock.zip ?

If I apply that zip being S-ON will I brick my device?

If I apply it being on 1.12.651.1 being S-ON will I brick it?

If I apply it being on 1.22.651.1 being S-ON will I brick it?

Why is S-OFF recommended?

Thank you for your answers.
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
by default, the /system is write protected...the boot.img has edits to disable write protection.

no, flashing that zip will not brick....always have a backup
[HTC One E8] mapo01:
Thank you and sorry for all my questions.

If I unzip the zip and take out the htcOMADM_SPS.apk and replace it with a root explorer with System write privileges.

Will it work?

I ask because I will try it first in 1.12.651.1 and since this zip was tested on 1.22.651.1 I feel that way is less invasive and I can have a copy of the original 1.12.651.1 htcOMADM_SPS.apk

Thank you.
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
1st of all, you don't want to remove HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk if you're trying to SIM unlock, that is the hacked file that allows the unlock.

adding root explorer will do no good, you need the modified kernel (boot.img)

like I said, you are welcome to try on 1.12, just have a backup to easily restore
[HTC One E8] mapo01:
Sorry this one is a noob question.

Backup with what? TWRP? Titanium backup? Or what?
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
TWRP
[HTC One E8] mapo01:
How do I install TWRP on the E8? The link given in the steps for unlock is for the M8 and I tried to install it with fastboot flash command and it doesn't installs. I am bootloader unlocked and S-ON.

It says OKAY on the CMD screen but all I get is a TAMPERED sign on top of bootloader screen.

Thanks.

Just uploaded TWRP 2.8.3.0. I can only be certain that it works on the Sprint variant, but it *may* work on the others as well. I'm using the stock dt.img, which is why I don't know. It seems HTC consolidated the E8 kernel source so that there's no longer separate Sprint (whl) source.

hello there

i have a sprint e8 1.22 rooted

ive managed sim unlock without s-off

im trying to edit deafault.xml so it shows 3g and h icons but no luck

maybe because system write protection

is there any way to get that without soff?

thanks
[HTC One E8] spooksville:
i find a solution to my problem

the solution is to modify the file default.xml before flashing the rooted rom by badboyz

if you try modify after it doesnt let you without soff

so for everyone need H or 3G icons after sim unlock modify default.xml at /system/customize/ACC in the zip package and after install

region = 6 , sku_id = 42

***to remove sprint splash boot screens delete from system\customize\resource

spcs_shutdown_animation.zip and spcs_startup_animation.zip in the flash zip

again BEFORE flashing the badboyz rooted rom

you should rename yout original HTComadmXXX.apk` to `HTComadmxxx.apk.bak

after this you should copy to system/app modified htcomadm file using this you can unlock your phone. after you unlock. you should delet this modified htcomadm file and raname back your original htcomadm file stoch name htcomadmXXX.apk

restart and whola

you will never recive this error.

i try and this helped me to my old M7 sometimes on M7 and now on E8.

i'm wondering if a remodel would work, to the china mobile model or an eu model...obviously keeping google apps would be great but 4g is more important!

i've also read that qpst could unlock some bands, but not sure how this works! has anybody tried this with a sprint e8? is there a simplified tutorial for a complete newbie?

Unlock without S-off

Hey guys. This is my first post so I want to give something back to all of you.

I've managed to unlock the HTC One E8 and M8 sprint version without being s-off

The steps are very easy and I've tried this method on 4 different devices.

1.- First you need to unlock the bootloader

2.- Install custom recovery

3.- Install superuser

4.- Flash with recovery a file named SIM_Unlock.zip for the M8 and Bad_Boyz_Sprint_ONE_E8_SIM_unlock.zip for the E8 (sorry I cant attach these files)

5.- Install root browser and terminal emulator on your device (grant superuser on both)

6.- copy HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk to your internal memory, this is the modified apk that allows the sim unlock

5.- Open root browser, go to system>app , rename the original HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk to something like this HtcOMADM_SPCS1.apk. Basically I just added 1 to the name.

6.- Copy the modified apk to this location. system>app

7.- Open terminal emulator and type "su" hit enter

8.- Now type this: am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity

9.- You should see a menu with 3 different options, select "API"

10.- Scroll down until you see "sim lock" press it and wait until the gray highlight goes away.

11.- Reboot your phone and you are done

If you need help let me know and I will gladly help .

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

you solved your problem'm just like you
[HTC One E8] arturgig:
There's nothing you can do to have 4g if your carrier uses different bands which I'm pretty sure it does. Sprint has 850 and 1900 , and unless you have s-off and flash radios you will have just 2g/3g max
[HTC One E8] habreu:
radio frequency

yes I realized the company providing services to me, using frequencies: edge 900mhz and 3g 900mhz but the celphone is 2g 900mhz and for 3g is 850mhz That's why it only works 2g. so my solution is flash radios? my phones is s-off

you can point me some tutorials

tks
[HTC One E8] OMJ:
there is no solution...the sprint E8 does not support those freq....only solution is to buy different phone
