[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Execute the 4.16.401.10 RUU. It will wipe your phone completely so backup all things you want to keep to the cloud or pc !

Relock he bootloader before you do otherwise it will fail !

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
No also on s-on devices but :

1: the bootloader has to be locked/relocked

2: the RUU must have the same version main number as the phone has or it has to be higher !

Only then you can use a RUU.

Updating my M8

Hey guys I need help updating my HTC One M8. I am trying to update my M8 to 4.4.3 and the update failed. I got the Red Triangle Exclamation Mark. I flashed the right stock recovery and the update still failed. I know the update is failing because my M8 is rooted with supersu and I even tried to full unroot in supersu settings and that did not work. Supersu is still on my phone. I need a stock backup non rooted stock rom. I can't find a stock backup non rooted stock rom for my M8. My M8 is on 4.4.2, The software version is 1.54.651.10 and the cid is spcs_001. Any help would be appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Search in Sprint sub-section for your backup.

Or you directly update your device to the latest using 4.25.651.18 RUU.

Download from HTC - http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-sprint/news/

S-On - relock bootloader first before run RUU

S-Off - can run RUU without relock bootloader
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] passion4tech:
Sorry I looked hard enough in the sprint sub section for my backup, I can't find it. Should I update my phone to the latest using the 4.25.651.18 RUU instead of flashing a stock backup non rooted stock rom for my M8?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Yeah.. you should use RUU. Why want to waste time doing multiple OTAs (in fact too many of them) when you can do it with little time spent with RUU.

Just save/backup all important files like photos, musics & etc on internal storage to some where (on PC the best choice). RUU wipes everything.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] passion4tech:
I need help ckpv5. The RUU did not work. I got the error 155. "The ROM Update Utility cannot update your phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again." I can't open the View ReadMe , I click on the button and the readme won't open. Now it says to start the recovery process. What do I do now? I don't understand how the RUU didn't work? I downloaded the RUU from the link you gave me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
If you are not S-OFF, you must relock the bootloader to flash the RUU.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
I was talking about the ruu.exe not the .zip method.

Not sure about the .zip method i never done that. But you certainly can't flash a stock recovery when you already locked the BL. And there should be no need to do that as the ruu should take care of that.

So basically you only need to do step 5, 6 and 7 but i am not certain if you have to relock the BL.

Hey guys,

Just before I go ahead and do anything, I've currently got my M8 on the latest Cyanogen, but want to revert to stock rom to allow use of Sunshine then sim unlock.

My phones CID and MID are VODAP001 and 0P6B10000 respectively, for which I have found a download link on the first pages of the thread.

Once I follow the steps on the first post, will I have TWRP still or will I literally go back to complete stock where I will have to root and unlock bootloader again, or will it just be like flashing a custom rom, except it's a stock img?

Cheers
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
As long as you are not planning to try to get OTA updates, you can just restore the stock Nandroid for your CID. You would have to flash the stock recovery in a seperate process. After that you can try Sunshine. Sunshine does NOT sim unlock your phone, it only gives you the ability to change CID/MID and extended security off features. Of course, make a backup of any important files and remove them from internal storage first, before flashing the Nandroid.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jparker331:
Thank you, I bought the phone at factory settings and haven't used it personally yet, so there are no personal files on there at all so flashing over isn't a concern.

Vodafone want nothing to do with me with regards to giving me a network unlock code as they won't deal with people who bought phones off private sellers (wish I knew that beforehand!) and I don't really want to spend money just giving my imei to a dodgy phone unlocking place at a market. I had read this: "Sunshine has also added the capability to automatically SIM unlock most of the GSM-based phones manufactured by HTC." on here: ( Too new to post URLs yet)

androidpolice.com/2015/04/18/sunshine-3-1-adds-s-off-support-for-htc-one-m9-and-automatic-sim-unlock-for-most-of-htcs-gsm-phone/

as well as a few other tutorials that state that I can get around network locks with an s-off phone. Such as this one:

.sieempi.eu/blog/2011/09/22/universal-sim-unlock-for-s-offed-htc-devices-536

However if the general consensus is that in this case it is best to just pay a guy for the network unlock code (Is staying on Cyanogenmod and inputting the code allowed?) then I will do that, keep my phone s-on and pay a similar price to Sunshine.

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Hi, I didn't know about Sunshine offering the sim unlock, so if I were you, I'd give it a go. Even if it doesn't work, S-OFF is way better, you can totally unbrand your device and make it WWE as I did. The second link has no mention of HTC M8 devices, at least not that I can see. Go with Sunshine, it really is worth every penny and if it sim unlocks too, even better.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jparker331:
As you can probably tell i'm quite new to things like this, what do you mean by WWE? I would like to totally unbrand the phone, I don't like having all the associated vodafone things, especially as I hope to keep this phone for quite a few years (only just stopped using HTC Desire S I had from new!)

Sunshine is a permanent purchase btw? So it doesn't charge each time you install the app, just once for that handset?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
I bought my phone in Greece through a normal retailer. It was sold sim unlocked, but was branded Vodafone UK with Italian paperwork in the sealed box. I have recently had to send for repair and HTC told me the phone was made for the Spanish market. Anyway, after having the phone 3 days, I went S-OFF, flashed TWRP recovery, Rooted and installed ARHD ROM, I've been a fan of mike1969 since my HTC Hero days. With S-OFF, you can change the firmware and CID/MID numbers and basically have total control over the device and make it as you want it. I have WWE (World Wide English/Edition) firmware and can update the firmware as and when one is released without having to wait for Vodafone to do so, which usually is a few months behind the WWE versions.

Yes, Sunshine is permanently paid for on that one device, so if you ever have to use it to S-OFF a second or third time, it's already paid for.

Cool, some backups. I've been haunting this forum for a while now asking the same question, cause I want to know for sure. I will ask you too man.

So I just unlocked my M8 and did no backup. I have S-ON. Forgot to change to S-OFF.

After unlock all I did was to flash TWRP and wipe everything. After that I installed Official CM13.

But my TWRP recovery had some errors while wiping data. Error=255 if I remember well. And the phone used to power off a couple of times while in recovery. Is it that because I didn't get the phone to S-OFF?

Anyway, CM13 rocks on M8, its even faster than Stock. But I need to know if I can get back to stock with S-ON. Just in case I want to maybe install a custom ROM and Kernel after. Thanks!

Recheck the file that you downloaded is indeed 4.24.709.3_ckpv5.zip and the one you restore in TWRP is in folder 4.24.709.3 not in 4.24.709.3_ckpv5 folder or any other name folder.

You won't get the MM update if you have wrong version restored even though you got that little 3 preparation update.

You also can check that you have the right version on PC. Open the system.ext4.win000 with 7-zip then extract out the build.prop and check the version no. in it.
