I ran the RUU yesterday, flashed a number of the TWRP Multirom recoveries, and have tried a clean flashing of Venom as also GPE with the intent of installing MultiRom Manager. Both fresh installs have failed to fully install MultiRom from the play store. (Even tried stopping process, clearing cache/data, reinstall)

"Failed to read MultiRom Version! Failed to download info about updates!"

Has the new firmware prevented the ability to run MultiRom? I've been looking at the MultiRom threads all day without any success, and the RUU/firmware is really the only thing that has changed, so I figured I'd begin here.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andrewp3481:
Ok, so I have a question and please excuse my ignorance. I have since moved on to T-Mobile and gave my mom my M8 last year in December. I believe I was on 4.4.x but phone calls to my mom were unsuccessful in getting her current version. She was "busy" and it was "too hard" for her to put me speaker phone while I guided her to Settings>About Device>Android Version. For your amusement, she also lives about 2 blocks from me.

Here is my question. Let me preface it by saying I am half drunk, and too busy with life to be doing all kinds of ADB tricks/ Flashing of Radios/ Bootloaders etc. The M8 is S-Off. Can I simply just RUU to 5.0.1? Or do I have to actually flash radios, bootloaders, etc? Please say RUU is my golden ticket. Thank you in advance to my old phone community ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Ruu is all in one if mom doesn't mind getting wiped. If she doesn't need root and you want her to be able to take ota and NOT wipe her phone during the update....then you want the s-on ruu. It will leave the phone s-off, unrooted and able to take ota.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dadmi:
Some background. S-off and unlocked bands using qpst tool to make it work with cricket, no luck. Tried re-activating this phone with my new verizon account and phone number didn't change in phone properties. Was asked by customer care to get a new sim from corp store. Got a new sim and it didn't activate either. Online account shows everything is fine but no network.

I ran this RUU using SD card and still nothing. Changed network to LTE mode and I get data now still no calls. Do you think the band changes I did is the issue? Won't running the RUU restore everything back to normal?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
The ruu won't undo band changes made by qpst. Did you try doing a factory reset using stock recovery after running the ruu?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dadmi:
Didn't work today morning. I am running RUU again and report later with updates.

I have been stuck at 'SENDING' for thirty minutes - using the 4.17.605.9 APP/EXE RUU.

What can be done to fix this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Unplug and reply the phone and try once more (don't reboot the phone). Also how much free ram does your PC have?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ulinepro:
Have plenty of RAM. I ended up just dropping it on the SD card and ran it that way. But I got this error -- is there something I need to change to have it "pass"?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Run ruu once more via sd. . Free ram is key not how much you have. Windows is picky when it comes to sending an almost 2 gig file via a cmd prompt.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ulinepro:
Running it again from the SD card worked. Thanks.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
That's likely because you need the bands to be made available. Pretty sure I saw someone posted a how to guide on how to enable those extra radio bands in either the general or q/a section the other day.

Has this Marsh ruu been updated? If not then is it missing any firmware files? Why, is I'm having a little prob with getting 4g back after going to cm13. Tried flashing the stock recovery and wiping all but still stuck on 3g. When wiping in stock rec I noticed it was trying to wipe a file it couldn't find. Also I'm doing this on the road during a bus trip, but didn't bring laptop. So I'm using flashify and file managers to navigate the processes. So maybe it's just me...?

And then I took the Marsh update and stuck at splashing...

So I fixed it by removing the sim card and placing the sim into my Nexus6 (Motorola) and retired the m8 for a while.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] exAusTiN:
editing this comment cause im a fool :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
or a factory reset from hboot.. then put the phone back into fastboot.

Guessing the /data pieces are really picky about what rom you are coming from.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
I got a fail_pu when trying to use the hboot method I think it was cuz I was running custom firmware. I'm gonna load a 4.4.4 ruu. And then try the new ruu.

Edit: Success. i loaded the 4.4.4 RUU let it boot. then i loaded the new 5.0.1 RUU and it went off without a hitch. Good Stuff.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sofla2:
The SD method is failing too. This is what it says...

SD Checking....

Loading...(0P6BIMG.zip)

No Image!

Loading...(0P6BIMG.nbh)

No image or wrong image!

Loading...(0P6BIMG.zip)

Then it suddenly ran through the update and now it is back to the same thing but above, os-3.28.605.4 (4.17.605.5) is highlighted in red
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
There's nothing wrong with what you showed above.. The first one you typo'd. It doesn't check for the zip twice. Then it runs through it.. then reboots to run it again (can't do every partition in one shot unless on same exactly OS/firmware).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sofla2:
Ok, I didn't realize it was going to take that long, just my impatience :eek:

So it went through the update and I rebooted. Should I run it again?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
What did it boot up to? Loading it via SD card is sorta painful.

Personally.. just so ya'll know this. (and you can do this in the folder the EXE version is in since it has a fully working htc_fastboot and adb path).

I use the htc_fastboot included in the EXE folder to htc_fastboot flash the RUU. That's they ONLY method I personally use. I test the others.. but my preference is to flash this using htc_fastboot. It auto restarts.. i can add the -w switch to the end of the flash command to ensure it formats partitions before writing them.

I wanted to add in the /data/preload stuff this time since had room.. but I also want you guys to be able to flash this easily. Debating dropping one of the methods in favor or htc_fastboot which will work EVERY time.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sofla2:
It booted up just fine and seems to be working just fine. It started with the updating 280 apps screen, that went fine. Set up went fine. Everything is downloading from the playstore just fine. Phone calls, data are working just fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
you got er done then...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sofla2:
Yes I did lol. It's been a long time since I've done this and the old memory is starting to fail. Now, this wiped out TWRP so I have to reflash that, right?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes.. but since you are rooted already.. download flashify from the app store. Then download the latest TWRP img file to your phone and use flashify to flash it from the phone. Do NOT allow flashify to download TWRP for you. Make sure you get the latest. I have been hearing it gets ours confused with sprints TWRP which would make issues for you.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Some Tech Noob:
Directly flashed this RUU from LolliGPE via microSD. Working great so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sofla2:
I've never used flashify but I just bought a new laptop and I cannot get adb to work on it. I have tried every solution, but nothing works. Put the TWRP file on the SD card and flash from there?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes.. rename it just like the RUU. Don't forget to delete it from your SD card after flashing and rebooting.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sofla2:
Thank you for all your help. Everything is working perfectly :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mentallo:
So I got the PU failed during the flash. The phone booted up ok and everything seems ok. Do I need to reflash the RUU anyway?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Easy way to check would be to see if you have the "stickers" in the camera duo effects. Or browse to /data/preload and see if they are there.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mentallo:
I don't see a "preload" folder in data and the stickers screen is empty. So I guess I 'll have to reflash.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
is the boomsound with dolby only on the stock rom that comes with the RUU. is this a verizon specific feature. i havent seen anything like that on any of the international ports.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
if I want to update by the SD card method, renaming the file 0P6BIMG, what file do I download?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
the standalone zip. i recommend running the 4.4.4 ruu first. let that boot. then run the new 5.0.1 RUU. thats what i did and it went off without a hitch.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
I'm s-off on 4.4.4 with stock recovery. For some reason the initial firmware update crapped out halfway through. I did a n FDR and the initial firmware crapped out again so I figured I'd try this method.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
thats normal. it reboots hboot the frist time around. then it will scan the file again and finish the process.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
I selected install after the first part of the OTA download and it started the firmware update, made it 25% through then went to the device with red triangle for a few minutes then phone rebooted to OS. Tried the OTA again with same results.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
ah gotcha. in that case i would try the method i did. as long as you dont mind losing data. personally i RUU once a month to clean my device up, so im used to wiping all my data.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
I already have all my important data backed up So I good from that stand point. Just waiting on the stand alone file to download and I'll give it a shot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] David 617:
Ugh... I hope I didn't screw my phone up big time...

I just tried to use the RUU exe but I got a 152 Error

When I unplugged my usb cable this is what I saw -

2 boot ok

3 userdata fail-pu

4 bootloader ok

5 pgfs_spucustom ok

6 recovery ok

7 rpm ok

8 sbl1 (8) bypass-5

(the rest said ok)

Partition update fail

update fail

Any suggestions to recover from this? I will try to run it again...

When I rebooted the phone it shows htc with 4 error triangles in the four corners

Update -

I ran the exe again and it went through this time. Holy crap that was scary...

This doesn't affect s-off, right? I can still flash twrp and a custom rom, correct?

Used the the EXE method and it works like a charm. .absolutely no problems. .everything works great!Thanks a ton!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Some Tech Noob:
This is a little bit off topic, but:

During my installation and setup of apps after flashing the RUU, I remember having a "clear all" button on the multitasking card layout.

Paint-edited picture to help explain: http://i.imgur.com/V2WFKfU.png

Now it's gone for some reason. Does anyone else have the "clear all background apps" button? Grid multitasking has it, though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nickchapstick:
So when I use the ruu for sdcard and I reboot after I get send to recovery and can't boot system. Why is that?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Some Tech Noob:
Does the RUU run and install fine in hboot? All you should have to do is rename the .zip, stick it on your microSD's root directory, and boot into your bootloader. HBoot should automatically detect it, and after it loads it all, you should be able to click volume up to install it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nickchapstick:
It installs fine it bypasses two. But I boot into lollipop then I reboot to install a custom Rom and it won't load the Rom and I can't wipe and reboot. I'll do the ruu then tell exactly what ones it bypasses then let you all know
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Talal916:
If I flash the standalone zip, will it still wipe internal data?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nickchapstick:
I installed the hboot you posted and now my problem of not being able to reboot so that's a help. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
Can't reboot to anything. Or just system.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
See I needed that fresh reboot afterwards before flashing the ruu lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CheateR92:
I have little problem, not sure is it a problem at all.

I am flashing the zip by fastboot and after that when I try to do the RUU it reboots to bootloader and it says "Waiting for bootloader". I am almost sure that I have the proper drivers. Is it ok to stay like that because now it is running amazing :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Check and see what driver you show installed when it's in fastboot mode.

Instructions

I've been following the thread and there seems to be several different things popping up depending on how you do the upgrade. Is there any chance that someone that did it successfully could write up a little step by step work flow on how they did it? I'm sure someone has written up or made a video of this process in the past. I'm just curious.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CheateR92:
Ok, here is what I have done:

1st step - copy zip to ext SD (no exFAT) and rename it 0P6BIMG.zip

2nd step - boot in fastboot and flash

3rd step - install proper drivers, just installed HTC Sync manager and everything went smooth.

4th - Run dottat's RUU and enjoy :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thetriplejranch:
How do you know if the ext SD is exFAT or not?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CheateR92:
Install Storage partitions or something like that was the app or just put the SD in adapter and check on PC

Probably it is FAT32 if you didn't touch anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] All4TheFam:

Didn't post last night, got to late by the time I was done, but flashed hboot, flashed ruu, flashed custom recovery. Up and running smooth as butter with xposed, and softkeyz running flawless. Will check out mods after work today. Thank you so much.
