Lol 39 pages of almost the same questions asked over and over and over ....thanks dottat this is awesome and I can't believe your patience level ! I would have gone off the deep end by now! Persistent internet pass thru questions to having to restate the directions that were written in plain English to someone wanting a second opinion hahahhahhaaa like it's a strange growth..... your the man ! I used the recovery and firmware it flashed thru hboot flawlessly gonna try out the rom later and I owe you a beer too ! Thanks again !

I downloaded "Custom s-off only RUU (includes TWRP, has amazon apps removed+htc speak+OTA updater removed)" and placed it into my external SD root. renamed it 0P6BIMG.zip.

When i reboot into bootloader, nothing happens. Isn't it suppose to autoload 0P6BIMG.zip ? I entered Hboot and same, nothing happens.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
Chances are you either don't have it in the ROOT of the EXTERNAL sd card or something's wrong with the filename like perhaps a .zip.zip extension or a leading O (oh) rather than a 0 (zero).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] haitu:
cntrby429,

I double checked. it is in the root of external, it;s "(ZERO)P6IMG.ZIP". Is there another reason you can think of?

Question, can i install the zip through TWRP instead of Hboot and fastboot manual since both of those arent working?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
sdcard formatted correctly? fat32
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Is there a B missing?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] haitu:
its exfat. not the same thing huh?

If it isnt, ill put into my cardreader slot on PC, click and format as fat32?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Yes. Reformat as fat32, then put on 0P6BIMG.zip (RUU) - and all should work well.

Once reformatted, and have 0P6BIMG.zip on the card.

Turn off device, insert SD-Card, boot into bootloader, and it should detect the card right away.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I know it works as I just did sdcard RUU last week.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] haitu:
Here is my history so far incase you can pick up where I went wrong.

1. have S-off from sunshine. was on lolipop.

2. took OTA update to marshmellow.

3. http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/how-to-root-ota-pc-s-off-t3048604 flashed that (first link) then installed second link (super su) through twrp.

4. verizon logo stuck

5. took the Custom firmware zip that includes all M firmware and TWRP 3.0.0.1 (first link) and did the fastboot flash steps, but still verizon logo loop.

6. tried "Custom s-off only RUU (includes TWRP, has amazon apps removed+htc speak+OTA updater removed)" but can't install the zip and can't flash it through auto flash method like I mentioned.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes you can. The only possibility is that you may need to flash the older firmware zip for your back up for full compatibility.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ieatabiscuit:
I seriously doubt it. HTC only does updates for 2 years on their devices. There may be ports of ROM features, but the firmware we have now is likely the last update unless it's for security or just minor patches, if any at all.

Can't figure out new FW/Radio

Hey! I've read every single post, reread the OP's and the screenshots of the posts that really were similar to mine as well.

I am not great at all this stuff and don't understand a whole lot of it. Just when I think I'm starting to understand some of this stuff, I get stuck and can't figure it out. But I am great at following instructions (only when they are very clear and concise unfortunately). I will say if you do point me to a post without any further instructions (like specifically what to put into cmd I will not get it. I have read all the posts already) :(

My m8 is running CM13 Nightlies. I am S-Off, rooted, and Unlocked. I think the only thing left to get up to date would be my Radio. My Radio version is 1.12.20.1211. I have downloaded the VZWm8Mfirmwarenobootrecovery.zip and tried flashing that with HBOOT and adb fastboot. Below is what I get. Am I missing something?

...\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb reboot bootloader

[MENTION=5292716]FrickDude[/MENTION] next time use the HTC version of fastboot I have posted and it will automatically reflash for you. You did it right though. Pre-update is like windows files in use and need to reflash.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
Ok so I was trying to do an RUU and when my phone finished, I got to home screen but am having issues as my screen is going on and off - not long enough for me to go in and rename the file so it's not 0P6BIMG. I think the RUU is messed up. What are my options via adb and/or fastboot? Can I access my ext sd to rename? Or better can I reflash an RUU from this thread via fastboot? On Verizon
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Eject sd. Flash twrp. Insert sd. Boot to twrp. Rename file. Reboot-bootloader and flash ruu.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dan Tekle:
You saved me a few hours, thanks!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ratbastrd:
Dottat,

Another quality deliverable. Thanks for the hardwork on this device. Downloaded and installed custom RUU with zero issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Cremnomaniac:
Haven't flashed anything in fastboot recently. Does this fastboot version eliminate the need to do the command twice "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" in order to complete? I do prefer the manual method. Makes me feel secure :o

Also, I procrastinated and am on KK4.4.2, S-off , TWRP'd and rooted. If I've read this right, the best choice is "DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_OFF_SF_6.0_RUU.zip"

Then flash the SuperSu.zip. I assume the RUU will wipe all, BUT it's big leap, are there any extra precautions I should take?

Thanks, you guys rock :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes it saves you from having to do it twice.

Lastly, the ruu does not wipe.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Cremnomaniac:
That's awesome, and it doesn't wipe. Okay, my confusion. I'll do a wipe first.

Thank you
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Spelunker10:
I just want to say thank you!:D This ROM is fantastic!

I came from Scotts Clean Rom 4.4.2. I was using it for 2 years. The reason I switched to your ROM is because of the Google Play Services bug. It was killing my battery.

This ROM fixed that Bug completely.

Take care.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Cremnomaniac:
Isn't that some crap. That bug is exactly the reason I'm getting off my butt and upgrading. Using Wakelock Detector I've seen "Awake" as high as 90+%.

It started a week ago. No clue what changed.

While I'm here, what is the difference between this DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_OFF_SF_6.0_RUU.zip and the one posted by Santod040

[ROM|RADIO|FIRMWARE][6.0] Stock-Rooted Marshmallow | Sense 7 | m8vzw

Aside from one RUU or not? Looks like I end up with about the same thing. The RUU is safer bet for me, is there any advantage to Santod040's?

I do appreciate the debloat.

I have a question how to root marshmallow version of HTC one m8 Verizon .will I lose all my data by doing so.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jurington:
You'll have to use the sunshine apk and that will unlock your bootloader and give you s-off. And after that you flash twrp and then flash super su and that will give you root. And no that won't wipe your data And yes it'll work on the Verizon m8 on marshmallow. Also it's $25 to run it. But it's well worth it. After that you can start flashing some custom marshmallow roms.

I upgraded the firmware of verizon from the xda posting to 6.0, then flash the viperOne M8 rom 5.0.2. It seems smoothly to flash the firmware with htc_bootloader and ViperOne rom with TWRD 3.0, except that I "accidently" relocked my already "S-OFF" M8. However, the issue is I get very week carrier signal with this new firmware/rom, and no data service to connect to internet. with my T-mobile US sim card. when using "4G Switcher" to run the ping test, it appears the "ip address cannot be reached".

Also, could any instruct me with command returning my phone into "unlocked" status from "relocked"?

So for months now I've been having bluetooth issues (I can't pair to any bluetooth devices) across multiple roms.

I tried to flash Custom firmware zip that includes all M firmware and TWRP 3.0.0.1 by sd card (renamed it to 0P6BIMG.zip) it was installing fine, but I'm not sure if it completed because next time I looked at the phone it was boot looping.

Not sure what to do at this point. I'm a major novice. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You only flashed firmware so your ROM won't boot because the boot.img is different. If you are just looking to update your ROM you can flashed the signed ruu in the general section. It will update everything. Then flash TWRP and superuser
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] notslow1:
oh no, for some dumb reason I thought I had to install the new firmware before the full ruu.

Can I use your custom S-off only ruu or is it too late for that now?

You can do that if you want. That wipes. If you use the other it does not.

Download this mini-sdk package and extract it to c:\mini-sdk

Download this mkfs.ext4 binary and put it into c:\mini-sdk

Connect your device to the PC

Boot your device in recovery mode

Open a command prompt on the PC (cmd.exe), type and confirm each command with ENTER:

cd /d c:\mini-sdk

adb push mkfs.ext4 /tmp

/tmp/mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -O ^huge_file,^dir_nlink,^ext_attr,^resize_inode,^extra_isize -m 0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p37

this seemed to work, but when I try "mount /data" it shows an error again and I still can't wipe, flash, or anything else though twrp. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to salvage this or should I be buying a replacement phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Did you even verify what blk37 was on your device before flashing ? Does your device answer to adb devices while booted into TWRP?

I came looking for a RUU zip to start over, but 6.21.605.3_M8_WL_M60_SENSE70_VZW_MR_Full
