[One (M8s) General] El-Conkistador:
Hi all,

HTC has released a new smartphone for the western region of europe, the HTC One M8S ( m8qlul ) . There is at present no section for this product on XDA . I gather the most information possible right here.

I want to thank CaptainThrowback for his work on the Custom Recovery.

PS : Sorry for my broken English

## HOW TO USE CUSTOM RECOVERY

#########################################

Files Needed :

- TWRP 2.8.6.0 : http://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL_UL)/Recovery/twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul/

- The HTC_Fastboot : http://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL_UL)/Tools/Fastboot/

- Stock Extracted Recovery : http://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL_UL)/Recovery/HTC Recovery/ **

** If you have an error for applying a OTA with this stock recovery. Apply an old stock recovery (from the first OTA if your phone is in 1.11.401.1-1 version).
​

Instruction :

0. Copy the custom recovery or stock recovery into your internal storage.

New method :

1. Use the HTC_Fastboot linked above and flash the recovery :

htc_fastboot flash recovery {Your_Recovery}

Obselete:

1. On bootloader boot into TWRP custom Recovery :

fastboot boot twrp-recovery-2.8.6.0-m8s-qlul.img

2. When you're boot into TWRP Custom Recovery make a Full Backup (Optional |

But Safe

)

3. In Custom Recovery we're able to use ADB command. To flash the Recovery you want use this command :

adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/{Your_Recovery}.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p44
exit
adb reboot-bootloader

4. In bootloader select "Recovery" menu. Your M8S boot into the Recovery (Custom or Stock).

## FOR DEVELOPPERS - TWRP

#########################################

If you want to improve recovery :

- Github Device : https://github.com/CaptainThrowback/android_device_htc_m8ql (Thanks to CaptainThrowback)​

For rooting device :

This only works if you flashed a custom recovery . Not in boot only.

Problem: When the phone is rooted in changes to the phone are reset on restart .. Strange.

Busybox device :

The phone reboots when installing Busybox through the application. It must be installed through the recovery.
