Yes. You will get your software number back if you flash a 707 based ROM, such as stock.

So, here we go.

Download this 4.19.707.2 RUU onto your PC

When the download is finished, plug your phone into your PC, double click on the downloaded file, and follow the prompts. This will update you to Lollipop and you will be on the stock ROM again.

Since you are S-On, you will first need to relock the bootloader.

In fastboot (obviously) fastboot oem lock before you proceed with this.

Also, THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE, so be sure to backup anything that is important to you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasdapple:
Is the ruu rooted, or purely stock pre-root?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What is your current OS number on the bootloader screen, and what firmware are you trying to flash?

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

If the intent it to return to 707 based ROM to see if that helps your 4G issue, then yes the custom ROM you previously posted will do that. It will also make 707 appear for software number in the phone Settings.

I was more talking "if" you can find the 4.16.707 firmware. The main firmware collection I refer to doesn't have 4.16.707, just old 707 firmwares (which you

don't

want)]: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

If the firmware can't be found, the RUU listed by xunxholyx is your best bet if you really want to flash the 707 firmware. But I really don't think this is needed. As I'm nearly 100% sure you are already on the current 707 firmware, and the only benefit of flashing the 707 firmware (by RUU) is to get the OS number to appear again on the bootloader screen and on getvar all (which is really not that important).

On the other hand, RUU to full stock may be a good way to troubleshoot your 4G issue, especially if flashing the 707 based custom ROM still doesn't fix the issue. RUU is not just a stock ROM, but a complete factory image, complete with bootloader, radio, etc.

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

It appears to be 100% official and stock (unrooted). It will also wipe your phone.

Nice find. I didn't know Asia version had any RUUs.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Yeah, they are hard to come by. I was helping a user here six to eight weeks ago, and told him I didn't know of any Asia RUUs. He came back the next day replying that he found one, so I asked for the link and gave it to Sneakyghost and Alex (from AFH) to upload to androidruu.com

They have a few that aren't common there, and are always looking for more hard to find ones. If you come across one, you could PM me or Sneakyghost to have it added. Always nice to have a good RUU repository to go to.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
Hey everyone. I'm having a similar issue, and I don't want to start a new thread, so I'm going to add on to this one.

I've been on AOKP since it was released for this phone, so I've missed out on some OTA updates. Every time I try to flash a Lollipop ROM I get all these weird issues (WiFi not working, systemUI crashes, etc.), and after reading a few threads, I believe its an issue with the firmware.

I tried going back to stock, but the only Nandroid backup I could find for my phone isn't compatible with my firmware (WiFi refuses to work, only data). So I was wondering what else I could do to update the firmware. Reading this thread, it looks like the RUU is another method, but I'm not too sure how to get started with that, or which one to use, as my OS in the Bootloader and my version-main is blank.

Any advice is appreciated, please let me know if you need more info.

What are your hboot and radio numbers?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
HBoot: 3.18.0.0000

Radio: 1.19.21331147A1.09G

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
So it sounds like you tried nandroid for 3.34.661.4 from the thread here?

hboot 3.18 is a bit uncommon, but I think it corresponds to firmware 2.x, which also explains why the 3.x nandroid alongside 2.x firmware resulted in broken WiFi.

But as you've already determined, nandroids for TELUS are scarce. Your best bet is for a TELUS user to post their 2.x nandroid.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
Thanks for the quick responses! I guess unless I find one of those 2.x teleus nandroids, I guess I'm SOL?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You didn't make a nandroid of your stock ROM way back when you first unlocked the bootloader?

Even if you can't get the stock nandroid, you still have options.

One option would be to sunshine s-off and manually flash a Lollipop firmware. You may need to flash a close-to-stock 2.xx based custom ROM to get sunshine to work.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
I do (or did, I can't remember if I kept it) but it was when there was a bug with TWRP at the time, and if you password protected your backup, you couldn't reuse it, forever locked. So I moved on to custom roms and never, regretably, looked back.

I'm already s-off, would I need to run the Sunshine S-Off to do this?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Ah, right. I see now from your past post you are s-off.

No need to use sunshine if you are already s-off.

You can manually flash the Lollipop firmware for your CID, if you can find it.

Alternately, you can flash another CIDs firmware (may need to change your CID and MID, depending on whether the firmware was hacked to remove this requirement or not). But you may lose the frequency band support needed to work on TELUS, since firmware contains the radio baseband. So you may need to be selective about which CID's firmware you flash.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
Okay, this is a weird question, but can I get the firmware from the OTA zip here? Its under OTA, Branded, Telus001. I downloaded it, and there's a firmware zip inside, but I feel that would be too easy.

Although, say it is that easy, would flashing that firmware do the trick? It might not be the most up to date, but its probably better than what I have. I could then probably go back to stock and OTA from there.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Flashing OTA firmware can be risky. Reason being, the OTA firmware will sometimes only contain the modules that have been updated; basically a "patch" instead of a complete firmware package. For any partitions that are composed of more than 1 "module" (hboot in particular, sbl1, sbl2, and sbl3) if not all modules are present in the firmware zip, you can be in trouble. Specifically, for hboot, if for instance the firmware zip only contains sbl1 and sbl3, and expects a certain sbl2 to already be present on the phone; but doesn't play well with the sbl2 that is

actually

there (mismatched hboot modules), you will brick. I saw this happen to several folks on the One X (EVITA).

For this reason, a

complete

firmware package is always safer. And an OTA firmware may or may not be "complete".

Now, in your particular case, you can do a couple things:

1) Open the firmware zip and see if all bootloader modules (sbl1, sbl2, and sbl3) are present. You can also compare other modules with a "known" complete firmware and confirm that all modules (or at least any partitions that are composed of more than 1 module) are present.

2) You

appear

to be on firmware 2.23.631 anyway (but I am

really not sure

), which is the config that the OTA firmware is expecting. If this is indeed true, the firmware should be safe to flash, even if its not "complete".

If either of the above is not true,

you may brick

.

If the OTA firmware does flash, it puts you in good position to then restore the 3.34.631 stock nandroid and a 3.34 stock recovery. Which then puts you in the proper config to OTA update to Lollipop (which will also update the firmware).

But that is a lot of "ifs". I would proceed with extreme caution, at a minimum.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
That's a lot of if's, which concerns me as well.

You mentioned changing my CID too another carrier's, is that as easy as it seems?

If I did that, flashed a Nandroid from another carrier(I was thinking the Rogers one, as the radio bands look pretty similar), stock recovery, and locked the bootloader, would that be enough to get OTA's working again?

Is there anything I'm overlooking?

Thank you for all your help by the way! It is very appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, changing the CID is quite easy since you already have s-off (required to change CID).

However, what you've described has some issues:

1) If the Rogers MID is different from your current MID, you need to change that also.

2) You will want to flash the desired variant's firmware, not just the nandroid and stock recovery, otherwise the OTA will probably fail when it finds an unexpected firmware number.

3) No need to relock the bootloader to OTA. With s-off, there really isn't a need to relock the bootloader for any reason, and I don't ever recommend doing so with s-off.

4) You should verify whether being on the Rogers network is a requirement to receive Rogers version OTAs (since your intent is to enable OTAs). I don't know if it is or not. But its a requirement on AT&T. And Rogers shares a lot of similarities with AT&T (networks are very similar AFAIK); since Rogers was partially owned by AT&T at one time.

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

Whoa. Hold the phone (no pun intended).

I was curious what "pretty similar" meant, and clicked the link. It looks like Telus is a CDMA carrier?

If you have the CDMA version of the M8, you can't flash another version's firmware (won't work, and

might brick

), and probably cannot restore other nandroids either (probably will result in no boot or no signal).

What is your MID?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
My info is:

modelid: 0P6B16000

cidnum: 11111111

Forgetting everything I planned before, you mentioned:

I imagine this would be the best fix in my case, since there aren't many telus backups out there. Is flashing a radio tricky (mainly getting one to flash)?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Telus isn't CDMA. That's my carrier. GSM. I suggest flashing WWE/International. Change CID to superCID. That's what I'm on.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

EDIT:

Now that I got to the end of the post.

You are already superCID and S-Off. Flash wwe/International. You will have absolutely zero issues with it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Great info, thanks for it. I have limited knowledge of the Canadian networks, so I must be misinterpreting what the previous user linked here.

Obviously wanted to make sure that user didn't flash a GSM firmware to a CDMA version M8 (brick risk), which is why I asked for the MID for more clarification.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
Do you mean flash a WWE (401) stock nandroid? If so, I believe the link I need for my firmware is dead. :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
No, that's not what I'm suggesting.

I'm recommending you run the 4.16.401.10 RUU.

Instead of updating one OTA at a time, you can update to the newest Firmware in one flash.

And with WWE firmware you'll always be able to update WAY before Telus does.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
Ooooh okay. Sorry, this is all new to me, so its a little confusing. So if I go to this thread, and under the RUU's - Zip, open the link for .401 ruu's and download the zip for

0P6BIMG_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.16.401.10_Radio_1.25.214500021.06G_20.68.4196t.01_F_release_417809_signed.zip

, just flash that and I should be good to go? Am I flashing it in TWRP or in fastboot?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You can't flash firmware in recovery.

In fastboot:

rename the download to ROM.zip and place it into your fastboot folder.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip ROM.zip

Hboot method (no PC needed):

download the RUU.zip and rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and place it onto the root of your extSD (by root of I mean just on the card not in a folder)

Boot into bootloader and select hboot (to boot to bootloader turn off your phone and boot it back up by holding power+vol down)

Follow the prompts (vol up to flash ~ power button to reboot)

That's it, super easy.

If you use this method, be sure to delete the renamed zip from extSD (or rename it to something else), otherwise every time you boot to hboot it'll try to update again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
That sounds easy enough, but that's the right firmware to flash? I don't need to flash anything beforehand, or afterward (like a radio)?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Nope.

Just run the RUU. That's it.

But...... IT'LL WIPE YOUR PHONE so backup anything you want to keep. You could save a nandroid to you extSD.

You'll probably have to reflash TWRP in fastboot and install SuperSU or flash a rooted ROM after a well. You'll be back to stock. But you'll still have an unlocked bootloader and S-Off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Radio is a part of the firmware package, which is a part of the RUU. RUU is a complete image, that rewrites all partitions. So no, no need to flash anything else.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
Thanks redpoint73, xunholyx!

I'll try the RUU I mentioned before tonight and let you know how it goes.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watidk:
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh redpoint73, xunholyx! It worked! Calling works, texting works, Wi-Fi works.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
There is no way to remove that except with a modded aboot, unless you relock.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
Red text is due to S-off. Relocking doesn't make it go away. Modded aboot (no red text versions) hide the red text by replacing the letters of the warning with spaces.

Returning to S-on is the only way to truly clear the flag that triggers the text, but why would you want to do that?

Used to be it showed up just from unlocking the bootloader, not just s-off.

So basicly once you have used a custom recovery there is no way to get rid of it I even flashed stock recovery before doing the run and same thing ?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
You probably flashed modded firmware that removed the red text.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
Looks like it may have changed with the mini or just prior. I know with the One X, unlocking got you the red text because we didn't get s-off for a long time. It may have changed with the M7, because IIRC I s-off'd that right away and may not have been paying attention to when the red text showed up (as was the case this time).
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoot0073:
All I'm saying is when I RUU back to stock with s-off I don't get the Red text.. But yes there are a mod that you can flash to remove the Red text but it doesn't bother me

Ok my brain is about to explode…Does the bbconnect service do anything other than the push mail? I know this sound like a stupid question but bear with me.

I installed 4_1_.0.0.67 on my tytn and all hell broke out

- The blackberry software has hijacked the security login screen I had set up originally from my numeric touch login screen to a goggle-like field for which I have to either open up the keyboard or use the useless onscreen keyboard. If I shut down the security from the ‘blackberry security’ icon and go back to the tytn installed ‘lock’ icon it takes me back the 'blackberry security' screen anyway.

- I now have two user information bars and two device locks on my today screen. I know I can remove them both but dang…department of redundancy department anyone?

- switching between applications has slowed down to a crawl including the touch screen freezing for aprox 10-20 seconds each time I move between tabs and closing apps.

And to top it all off my incoming calls started being diverted right to my mail box. No ringing.

Had to nuke the bbconnect software and even that didn’t resolve the incoming calls problem and had to do a hard reset on the phone

I’m thinking I will kill the whole bbconnect package and save myself some coin as everywhere I go I have access to some wifi network anyway.

Sorry for the rant but am I missing the big picture here? Is there more to the blackberry connect service.

BTW I'm on a Rogers branded HTC TyTn with no modifications
