Your firmware level is lower than the backup that you restored.

Hi just wanna ask in this ROM is it still dual camera?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You have a S-Off device .. it's easy to fix your problem.

1. No need to relock bootloader .. leave it unlocked

2. fastboot flash the latest Marshmallow firmware fw_6.13.661.9 - get it from post #5

3. install latest TWRP 3.0.2-0

4. restore 6.13.661.9 backup (from post #3)

5. Done - you're back on stock and on Marshmallow

Or if you want to install custom ROM, you can skip no.4, just install custom ROM instead of restore stock ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:

error: cannot load 'fw_6.13.631.7.zip'
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Make sure the windows extension is not hidden. If it is hidden, fw_6.13.661.9.zip is actually become fw_6.13.661.9.zip.zip

Control panel - File Explorer options - view - untick "hide extensions for known file types"

Or you can rename the fw_6.13.661.9.zip to 0P6BIMG.zip (again make sure windows extension is not hidden so you won't have double extension 0P6BIMG.zip.zip) and place it on root of microSD and boot to hboot to install.

right now by doing up to step 10. i can get the stock 5.01 to look for the 6.0 update but when it tries to unzip it and reboot it goes to twrp and doesnt met me install it.

Im sure if I were to do step 11 this would let it go through. im just wondering if you could point in the direction of which file to use to flash. and how to flash it

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Have you tried what I posted here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69813905&postcount=2064

Install stock recovery 4.30.720.5 for OTA from 4.30.720.5 to 4.30.720.8

When you did OTA from 4.30.720.4 to 4.30.720.5, it was successful because the stock recovery was 4.30.720.4

But when you OTA from 4.30.720.5 to 4.30.720.8, I guess it failed due to the stock recovery was 4.30.720.4 (you have higher version firmware, a lower version firmware won't get installed automatically, so the recovery was not changed automatically from 4.30.720.4 to 4.30.720.5)

If your friend has M8 eye running 5 .07.720.1 then just make a nandroid backup of his 5 .07.720.1 ... restore this backup on your device .. save all the hassle.

You already updated to 4.30.720.5 as you mentioned here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69812917&postcount=2063

So no need to talk about 1.80.720.1 & 4.30.720.4 for now.

What you need to do now is OTA from 4.30.720.5 to 4.30.720.8 then later to 5.07.720.1

1. current version installed 4.30.720.5, install 4.30.720.5 stock recovery

do the software update to get 4.30.720.8 OTA and let the system install

2. after version 4.30.720.8 is installed, install stock recovery 4.30.720.8 stock recovery (that you can get from the OTA_M8_EYE_UHL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_India_4.30.720.8-4.30.720.5_release_469042jnzzfks4y4n4yiq9 that you already saved)

do the software update to get 5.07.720.1 OTA and let the system install

3. Done

If these also not working for you .. as I said before I have no more idea to fix your problem. (Note - I don't have M8 eye only M8)

If these also not working for you .. you have to search the 5.07.720.1 RUU as I said earlier.

How to get *** Software status: Official ***?

Hi guys,

i have a German T-Mobile One M8 wich I've unlocked and rooted for about 2 Years. Now I restored a 6.12.111.4 via TWRP and flashed fw_6.12.111.4.

I flashed also a 6.12.111.4_recovery and locked my phone. I did not installed SuperSu.

Nevertheless i have status *** Software status: Modified ***.

Is there a possibility to get back to official again?

The only way to get back to official is to buy Sunshine and follow the other thread here to make it like new. 25 dollars for the privilege. It's one on f the very first things I did with my M8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I thought restoring the stock ROM and stock recovery is supposed to change software status back to OFFICIAL? For which I see the previous user is confused why it still reads MODIFIED.

S-off is needed to make it say LOCKED (as opposed to RELOCKED) but I don't think that is related to software status (MODIFIED versus OFFICIAL) as far as I've seen.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Restoring to stock ROM & recovery alone won't change the status.

Only when install a signed RUU or when the device on lower version then OTA to the next version will change the status from Modified to Official.

With S-Off, the status can be changed from Modified to Official without RUU or OTA. (On KitKat it was called Tampered flag)

Refer - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708565
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Using the backup from the second device is same as you restore the backup from this thread. The status won't change by restoring backup alone.

I'm not sure whether this can help to fix your problem because your current firmware already on 6.12.111.4.

Try restore one version lower i.e 4.19.111.4 and let the system install OTA .. see whether this can change the status from modified to offcial. If it is not working, nothing can be done unless there is a 6.12.111.4 RUU or you S-Off the device.

Edit : You are lucky .. here is the RUU 6.12.111.4 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24399965296001026

There are 3 different methods to install a RUU zip - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67314040&postcount=1749

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
When I said restore a lower version I don't mean to install RUU but restore a backup. You can't install a lower version RUU on S-On device.

I am currently using 6.12.1540 US DevEd.

Are the firmwares in OP more updated that my current firmware? Does flashing the firmwares on OP affect root/bootloader/twrp?

I wanna keep the root, the unlocked bootloader and the latest twrp.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Using/running 6.12.1540 US DevEd ROM is not the same as has 6.12.1540 US DevEd firmware installed. Check what is written on bootloader.

OS -x.xx.xxx.xx

If it is OS-6.12.1540.4 then that's the latest firmware.

Flashing a signed firmware on S-On device require a LOCKED or RELOCKED bootloader and a signed firmware will affect bootloader/twrp and root too if different boot.img is being used for rooting.

If you have the backup .. what you can try :

1. Backup all your important files in internal storage to PC (files like photos, musics & etc)

2. In TWRP (meant for M8 eye), select wipe - format data - type yes - once completed, back to main menu, select reboot - recovery

3. Restore your backup - only select boot and system (no data) then see whether you still have Play Store crash.
