Download your original firmware 1.58.502.1 and put it on ext-sd you will have to do this using your computer according to the post you must re-lock bootloader to flash firmware with s-on I didn't know this myself till I read the info in the post I will update the op with this information
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] CanuckinPA:
Every thread I find about relocking the bootloader requires S-Off. I have tried to go S-off, but when I've run the app I got a message "SunShine encountered problems with your rom. Please flash a stock, or more near stock rom and try again."

I've tried to flash a couple of "stock-ish" ROMS but they haven't flashed correctly, leading me to have to restore my backup.

In the same situation here, just that I'm out of the US and on another carrier so I don't get the OTA, I just downloaded from htc website. The question is if is it safe to just install the update on my current conditions.

Thanks

Relocking

You don't need to be S-Off to relock.

I am S-On and was 'Unlocked'. I tried running the RUU and it said could not update.

I used fastboot as 'fastboot oem lock' and it showed 'RELOCKED'.

Then I was successfully able to use RUU update to Lolipop 5.0.1, from a custom ROM (Debloated 4.4.3) and Recovery (Philz CWM, I think).

Thanks,

Sameer

Can someone tell me if this is possible? I'm s-off and on a custom stock 4.4.4 rom (i.e. deleted bloat and exposed modules). If I flash the s-off firmware without the boot.img and stock recovery, can I then flash the twrp backup in this thread and wind up with lollipop 5.02 and not loose my internal data?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] krazyace35:
It will wipe system and data so you will have a fresh install of lollipop. You need to backup your apps and data with an app like titanium backup so you can restore apps and data and you can use an app called super backup and restore to back uo your contacts, call logs and sms messages
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] johnnyutah22:
Thanks, I've got everything backed up, I was just looking for a solution that would allow me to upgrade to Lollipop that wouldn't wipe internal. Looks like that isn't possible unless your setup was stock with no changes to system files and you take the OTA, at least from what I'm reading.

Sorry for what may be a stupid question, but how do I install the twrp recovery? I get an error message when I choose "install" from TWRP - failed to sysmapfile, and I also don't see the file as an option to restore from backup (I left it as a .zip and also tried copying over the unzipped folder). I was able to successfully flash the firmware.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I addressed this in the thread you started here: http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/problem-flashing-phone-wont-connect-to-t3110356

You can't flash the TWRP backup with the INSTALL option. You need to RESTORE, and the folder contents need to be unzipped and saved the

exact

right location for TWRP to see it in RESTORE.

i keep getting a No MD5 file foud message when trying to flash new firmware

Help I'm at wits end. I bought my M8 branded to att but I need to use it for T-Mobile. Everytime I download and attempt to flash new firmware I get a message saying failed no md5 file found. I am s-off if that makes a difference and currently running a sinless ROM. I really want a lollipop based ROM but every time I install one I get stuck in a bootloop or have WiFi or mss issues, which I was told was due to my outdated 4.4.2 firmware. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] solidus636:
i had a friend flash the OTA file using TWRP, he said its corrupted.

the OTA file should flash in TWRP right? it's just an update zip...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Nope, your friend is wrong. You need stock recovery to flash OTA. You also need the system partition (ROM) to be fully stock.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lateral18:
Yes , the phone had s-off,

Well , the phone has the international firmware. With the latest Android, but is draining too much battery. The Rom is ARHD. The only thing that comes to mind , is because , the phone doesn't have the matching at&t radio
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
In that case, I would flash the entire AT&T 4.28.502.1 firmware zip, not just the radio; just to make sure everything "plays together" as its intended.

The following thread has the 4.28.502.1 firmware included with the custom ROM (you can just flash the firmware, not the ROM). But you might be able to find the firmware posted by itself, elsewhere.

http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365

Swapping the radios is possibility (to solve your battery drain issue), and certainly worth a try. But a number of folks have had battery drain issues with LP, in general. Possibly attributed to Google services. But I haven't had this issue on any LP ROMs. And for me, the workaround of disabling Google services is not acceptable (I use it for too many things).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lateral18:
Hi

Finally someone that understands me , here I've thought I was the only one with that issue.

Something that has help a lot with the battery life is greenify . But instead of greenifying Google services. I greenifying all the apps that uses , like Google search maps and so on . The phone isnt hinder like happens when Google services is disable.

Question. So I can flash the at&t firmware and flash a Rom like ARHD or maximus . Does it has to be a at&t Rom
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
ATT firmware will work fine with other ROMs. For the most part, any Lollipop firmware will work with the current custom ROMs.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lateral18:
That's great info ,

I'll flash the at&t firmware when I get home tonight. See if the battery life improves .

That's nice that the firmware , and roms are cross compatible ,

Hopefully I've help you a little

What do you mean , for the most part ?? Lol

Im new in the android world can anybody write step-by-step instruction what to do...

Im on android 4.4.4

Tnx...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
"regular ota updates" is confusing, and doesn't really mean anything. "regular' on the AT&T variant can mean stock AT&T ROM.

What I actually think you mean is "unbranded", but that can be Euro, Dev Edition, or even GPE (no Sense). So you need to clarify what you want.

One suggestion would be to s-off by sunshine, change CID to Developer's Edition, and "fully convert" to the Dev Edition. But being on a Mac is going to complicate the process (easier on a PC, preferably Win7 or 8.1).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Paranormal01:
Yes, I meant "unbranded"...

Euro or Dev, one of those two...

Okay, another problem isr that i dont know how to change CID, and how to s-off...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lateral18:
Now that you said that , should I flash it the firmware with a new ROM, or can I I just do it on top the one the phone had now

Interesting enough the link the other person gave me for the firmware if your forum , if I'm I going to flash the firmware you have there the super CID the phone , should be fine right
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
My Index thread is a good place to start reading: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

Guide on how to "convert" to another variant is under MODS, 2nd link "[GUIDE] S-OFF REQUIRED!! full conversion of Your m8 to any variant"

Or to convert to Dev Ed in particular, you can follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/guide-update-to-official-developer-t3002003

Note that for "converting" the AT&T version to Dev Edition, it is

not

required to change the MID. The AT&T and Dev Ed already have the same MID.

EDIT: Just added the above linked guide (to convert to Dev Ed) to my Index; since its a pretty good thread to reference. ;)

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

Not sure what you mean. You should flash the ROM, and if you already have 4.28 firmware, you should be good to go.

Or flash the ROM and the included 4.28 firmware, it doesn't matter that much.

ROM and firmware a different partitions; flashing the ROM won't affect the firmware, if that is what you are asking.

SuperCID should be fine. By definition, SuperCID satisfies any CID checks.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lateral18:
I meant the phone now has the international firmware. I gather I can just flash the at&t firmware and keep the ROM the phone is now .

That's what I meant, sorry I wasn't clear before

Thanks for your help
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yes, you can flash ATT firmware and keep the present ROM. Flashing firmware will install stock recovery, so you will need to flash TWRP again to access any custom recovery functions (as stated in the thread I previously linked).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Paranormal01:
What's 1st to do, do I have to s-off my device or not? Where is guide for s-off? Or I don't have to do that? This is not written for amateurs like me, so I need help. I don't know from where to start... I downloaded htc sync manager and fastboot.zip, I'm now downloading RUU from thread you posted above, but I have no idea from where to start.. s-off or unlocking bootloader?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Are you currently on Lollipop, and if not what hboot number?

Do you have access to a PC, and one that is

not

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
As mentioned on another thread (try not to post to multiple places, it makes it more confusing to help you) VM won't work. You need a real PC.

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

It depends. There are at least 2 different approaches possible; and that is one reason why guides are often posted in a somewhat "modular" format, so you can combine as needed.

One method:

1) Unlock bootloader by HTCDev.com

2) Install TWRP

3) Root by flashing SuperSU

4) Install sunshine app and s-off

5) Change CID

6) Run Dev Edition 4.16.1540 RUU

Another way:

1) Install sunshine app

2) Root with sunshine (should work, since you are still on KitKat)

3) s-off and unlock bootloader with sunshine (avoid HTCDev.com)

5) Change CID

6) Run Dev Edition 4.16.1540 RUU

Thanks for the advice and the battery life has Improve , I did have to flash the kernel again, didn't know the firmware would flash the stock kernel .

The only issue I have is the screen wake is not quite working properly . After a restart I have to manually go into trickster mod, then afterwards starts working again. But it doesn't vibrate when the screen awakes with the double tap , or swiping across the nav bar. Which is no biggie. Also I've change two numbers in the ACC text to have the 4G sign and the bars. Now the phone has 5 , not sure it they were before , looks kind of different , ?

But again thanks for your help

M8 AT&T in Canada on Bell and Rogers

I just wrote a nice lengthy post and it's gone? Anyways what I would like to ask is, should I muck around with firmware if my 2 M8's I bought off EBay already are lollipop and I've soff'd both then loaded Sky Dragon 10.2 successfully and happy.

My question is why do the firmware thing? Is it when your trying to go up to say marshmallows. Our when the M8 went from KK to Lollipop. Is that why? Or what am I wanting too know here.

Also one of my phones I supercid'd and it's on Bells Network and the other is stock CID (att) on Rogers Network. What advantage does the Bell Super CID have that my Rogers AT&T CID doesn't?

Oh and I read this post through and learned tons but the guy at the end dropping his phone in a pot of water... Really how ironic is that after all that hard work.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
When HTC updates the firmware (usually between major updates, like KK to LP, but also between KK Android 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 for instance) you will need to do the same (update the firmware on your devices) in order to run ROMs that support the new firmware. Not doing so (for instance, being on KK firmware, and trying to fun a LP custom ROM), will result in some serious bugs, like broken WiFi, and extreme long boot times.

But in short, if you are currently on Lollipop firmware, and everything is running fine on your M8 phones, no need to mess with anything at this time. But when the phones go to Marshmallow, you will probably need to update the firmware.

CID only affects what firmware, RUU and OTA files you can apply to the phone.

Having the proper CID (or SuperCID) and MID is required to flash another version's firmware or RUU (unless the firmware has been hacked to remove the CID, MID requirements).

Having the proper CID and MID, but

also stock ROM, stock recovery for that CID and proper firmware

, will enable you to receive that carrier version's OTA updates. Its essentially "fully converted" to another carrier version from a software perspective.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] xunholyx:
4.28.502.1? How about 4.28.502.2?

Just run the official RUU from HTC's US website.

Backup everything first (it will wipe your phone), relock your bootloader if you are not S-Off (fastboot oem lock), and use the RUU for stock ROM and firmware.

You'll also get stock recovery with it. After the flash; if you want to re-root; unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com, fastboot flash TWRP, and flash SuperSU with TWRP or flash a rooted ROM.

[One (M9) Android Development] d@rklink:
Loving the ROM so far. Tried a few others and they were great as well, but something about this ROM just seems to run smoother. One question I have though is in regards to the harmon/kardon sound options. Is that an APK that can be removed or something that can be tweaked in /system? I am finding that Clari-Fi keeps turning on automatically when I stream Pandora through my car's head unit. With it on I tend to lose a lot of bass in my music. I just want to remove the harmon/kardon stuff all together if possible.
[One (M9) Android Development] Jonny:
Open up the /system/customize/ACC/default.xml file in a text editor on the phone, look for "support_harmon" and change it from true to false.

I will make an option for this in later versions :)
[One (M9) Android Development] d@rklink:
Thanks for the info. It has been staying off for the past day so I will leave everything as is for now. Good to know how to turn it off I do run into any further issues tho. Really appreciate your work on the ROM and can't wait for updates!
[One (M9) Android Development] Jonny:
Speaking of updates, might as well reveal what I'm working on.

For now only those 2 sections and the About section are done but the way I've been coding it means a lot of the code bulk I've seen in other apps (where they've been coded inefficiently and have large amounts of code that could be extracted into a separate file for reusability) isn't present in my app so things should start speeding up significantly from here :)

Oh and once I'm ready to release it I will be making the app opensource with the code going up on my public github. XDA is about sharing knowledge to further development afterall ;)
