have you checked the partition.tbl file? there's some editing as i have red a couple of days ago. it's a known error on some raw firmwares. but honestly i haven't even started using Zenfone yet coz I'm still stuck at boot ðŸ˜‚

and im guessing you're on fake Chinese firmware too is that right? those are firmware versions 2.99 with fake serial. reference was your screenshots uploaded. but correct me if I'm wrong

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELS28:
Hello to you all,

I thought about asking in the help thread but my post will be somewhat long XD

I'm having trouble locating the origin of my HTC One M8 that I bought 2 days ago in bulk from a local shop. It's new, SIM Unlocked, but apparently rooted and S-OFF, figured it was needed in order to unlock it from it's former carrier, which brings me to my question : I want to know it's original carrier and region in order to safely select RUU and ROMs and preferably I would like to do OTAs too. I want to know whether I'll have problems updating to Marshmallow in the future.

Now, in the back of the phone is written : model OP6B700, that would make it a Sprint device right ? which from what I read is pretty delicate to work with, being CDMA and all.

CID Getter gave me : OPTUS_001

And here is my fastboot getvar all :

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.29.214500021.12G

(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) version-microp: None

(bootloader) version-main: 4.18.708.12

(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF

(bootloader) serialno: HT548WMxxxxx

(bootloader) imei: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(bootloader) imei2: Not Support

(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000

(bootloader) product: m8_ul

(bootloader) platform: hTCBmsm8974

(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B65000

(bootloader) cidnum: 11111111

(bootloader) battery-status: good

(bootloader) battery-voltage: 0mV

(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic

(bootloader) security: off

(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT

(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: 76df2b54

(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11

(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0

I noticed I have superCID ... why doesn't CID Getter report it ? If I want to revert it back which one do I input ? I don't know the stock value.

I noticed my MID is OP6B65000 what model is this ?

Really confused right now :confused: should I go ahead and install OTA ? I have one notification version 4.16.401.13 that wants to be installed.

Also I have "unknown" under HTC SDK API level, don't know why.

It seems I have the 2.5Ghz version of S801, but some utilities report AC variant some others AB. I got 63k on AnTuTu 6.2.6

Other than that the phone seems to be running really good, snappy, no lag, gets a bit warm with light usage, I don't think I got a fake one but correct me if I'm wrong.

It's in airplane mode, haven't put a SIM card in yet.

So what do you guys think ? I surely appreciate any insight you might have :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You don't have to wait to update to Marshmallow if you want to, you can do it now.

That's only back cover get replaced. You getvar result doesn't show it is a Sprint device.

Sprint product is M8_WHL and yours is GSM M8_UL

Based of the info above especially the MID 0P6B65000 & 2.5Ghz .. that's an Optus device ... originally from Australia. The original CID is OPTUS_001

You can't do OTA to 4.16.401.13, won't work .. you'll get system variant error with OTA.

You should put a SIM to test whether it's really SIM unlocked from Optus.

Also to check whether LTE is working fine.

Where are you located ? You have a S-Off device, you can install any region GSM RUU (if available) but not OTA to 4.16.401.13 when your OS on bootloader is shown as Hong Kong and MID is Optus Australia.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELS28:
Thank you for replying :)

To answer your question, my location is north africa. Tomorrow I'll get a nano SIM to try.

The information you provided raised some more questions :

1- I can't do OTAs, so the only way to update for me is through RUU or custom ROMS ?

2- I have a Hong Kong OS, can I change it ? will I have to change the MID and CID accordingly ? I can choose whatever values I want it won't cause any problems ?

3- How come while in OS I have different build numbers than in Bootloader ? in OS I have build version : 4.16.401.10. That's europe version right ?

4- Let's say I want to revert everything back to stock international version with Sense etc, to be able to do OTAs, what do I have to do ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Do that first .. see any problem with network.

You can do OTA only if you put the Optus ROM in your device. The problem is back to Optus and do OTA may break the SIM unlock.

But why do you want to OTA ? You can manually direct update it to Marshmallow if that is your intention.

You don't need to change the CID, let it be SuperCID but you may need to change MID (some people said no need to change MID when SuperCID but personally I don't experience a success firmware flashing without proper MID)

You can only choose any value meant for GSM but not CDMA. While on SuperCID, you need only change MID or change it to SuperMID.

Bootloader info is your firmware info.

OS no. in settings is Software info.

So this is like you're running a custom ROM, running a Europe ROM on Hong Kong firmware.

Depends on which International version .. let say it is Europe version

1. I suggest to change the MID to 0P6B10000 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708581

2. Install latest Europe RUU - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6

(skip the relocking part)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELS28:
Hi, sorry for delayed answer.

Bought a new nanoSIM today, seems to be working fine, made a few calls etc... LTE isn't available in my municipality yet, it will be in the upcoming months but I have the option to select it. I did test HSPA though and it works fine. I guess it's fully sim unlocked then :)

Regarding OTA, I just saw it as an easier way to update than the commands I had to enter to flash via RUU and all... I guess now I have to learn them alright :p

So it's my firmware that's from Hong Kong, I didn't know that thanks for the clarification.

Sorry I have more questions :p

1-Now that I'm running HK firmware and corresponding MID but EU ROM, you suggested I change to EU MID, but won't that cause issues with firmware being HK ?

2- If I flash the EU RUU you sent me, I assume the firmware will no longer be HK, correct ? and after that I can just keep to install EU roms and be trouble free ?

3-I assume that my simUnlock is definitive now, correct ?

4-You seem to be certain I have superCID, so bootloader info trumps CIDgetter info, but I'm curious, why the value differs between the two ? does the app not report it correctly after changing the value ?

5-I will be downloading the files from the links you sent me, and doing my homework too but for information's sake, when I boot in bootloader, I have the "locked" banner, but you know that already :p I also have "software status : official" does it indicate that the Lollipop EU ROM I currently have is a stock signed one ?

6-My device came rooted but I don't see Superuser installed, I assume I'll have to root it again after the update, correct ?

A Big Thank you for the big help :good: :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
1-Now that I'm running HK firmware and corresponding MID but EU ROM, you suggested I change to EU MID, but won't that cause issues with firmware being HK ?​

You have OS Hong Kong no. which I assume it's HKG firmware but your MID is not HKG but it can be Australia and it can be India. I assume it is Australia as it has 2.5 Ghz and CID OPTUS001 (as you mentioned it)

Change it to EU MID won't cause any issue but a better option as the current ROM on your device is EU 4.16.401.10 and that's why you get notification for OTA to 4.16.401.13

2- If I flash the EU RUU you sent me, I assume the firmware will no longer be HK, correct ? and after that I can just keep to install EU roms and be trouble free​

You need to change MID first to EU then install EU RUU. The firmware will be EU, no more HKG. You can install any GSM ROM after that, trouble free.

3-I assume that my simUnlock is definitive now, correct ?​

Yes it is SIM unlocked, the reason why I don't recommend Australia Optus firmware & ROM so it won't get SIM locked again. The best option is EU as you're in North Africa.

4-You seem to be certain I have superCID, so bootloader info trumps CIDgetter info, but I'm curious, why the value differs between the two ? does the app not report it correctly after changing the value ?​

That's what shown on getvar result. No idea about the app. I tried, it can't read my CID as I'm running Nougat ROM. You can try Simple CID Getter to recheck.

But getvar is always correct and the best option.

5-I will be downloading the files from the links you sent me, and doing my homework too but for information's sake, when I boot in bootloader, I have the "locked" banner, but you know that already :p I also have "software status : official" does it indicate that the Lollipop EU ROM I currently have is a stock signed one ?​

Most probably.

If you want to see whether it is stock non-rooted, you change MID to EU then you can accept the OTA and see whether it will be successful to install.

As you have a LOCKED bootloader, you need different method to change the MID .. you need to install a flashable TWRP and do the MID change while in recovery.

But why want to waste time checking, downloading and installing OTA when RUU is available and you can directly update to the latest.

6-My device came rooted but I don't see Superuser installed, I assume I'll have to root it again after the update, correct ?​

How do you know that it is currently rooted ? OTA won't work on a rooted ROM.

Yes, you have to root again after each update (when you need a rooted stock ROM). If you want to install custom ROM, no need to root .. only install TWRP and install custom ROM. Custom ROM mostly come pre-rooted.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELS28:
Alright thanks for reassuring me.

For the CID, with Simple CID Getter I get the same OPTUS_001... no idea why XD

Upon installing CPU-Z to have more information about the device I noticed "root access : yes" so I installed Root checker and indeed it told me I have root access, that's how I knew about it. Well then I don't plan to OTA anymore XD

The first method to change MID that you sent me doesn't work even if I'm S-off ? so I'll need to use this tool ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2779524 if so then the sequence order should be : Unlock bootloader from htcdev, then flashing TWRP like you said here http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/unlock-bootloader-install-custom-t3371328 then using the MID changer tool ?

I don't need to revert to stock recovery and locked bootloader before flashiing with RUU ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
1. No idea why these app read differently. Just ignore it for now .. that can be fixed later

2. Don't follow those guide .. I'll give you the guide below

3. No need

First - you need to install TWRP.

a- Download the hboot flashable zip here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70210155&postcount=19

b- put it on root of your microsd

c- boot to bootloader then select hboot - it will ask you to update, volume up to update .. let it finish, reboot once completed. Delete/remove the 0P6BIMG.zip from your microsd.

Second - you need to unlock bootloader as it is easier to thing with unlocked bootloader

a- boot to bootloader - select hboot then recovery

b- once in recovery, select mount and mount system

c- open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder then type (one after another - suggest you copy paste the code, don't manually type them

adb shell

[B]echo -ne "HTCU" | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796[/B]

exit

reboot to bootloader .. you should see the bootloader is now unlocked.

Third - change MID to EU MID 0P6B10000

a- boot to bootloader - select hboot then recovery

b- once in recovery, select mount and mount system

c- open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder then type (one after another - suggest you copy paste the code, don't manually type them

adb shell

[B]echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384[/B]

exit

reboot to bootloader

open a command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder then type

fastboot getvar mid

you should see the MID now read as 0P6B10000

Fourth - your device is ready, you can install RUU as per my earlier guide.

Note : if there is error related to CID ... we'll fix it after you tried the RUU. If the SuperCID is correct, the installation should be fine.

alright thank you and good night :)

EDIT : I successfully unlocked and changed MID to 0P6B10000 :) there seems to be no problem at all and the phone is running fine :) I don't get the red developpement message on boot to OS, only when I boot to recovery, it doesn't really bother me for now. I don't plan to update to MM immediately though, this has been a lot of new manoeuvers to learn in one take plus I want to read more about eventual issues with apps after I update, so I'll be using the current ROM some time before using your guide again and updating. Thank you so much for taking me through this process, I learned a lot :)

[Fire TV General] gboybama:
This is a really helpful post because not too many people out there are trying to do this exact thing.

I've tried like heck with my Linksys WRT3200ACM running DD-WRT build 2/17/2018. I have a Fire TV that I use mostly for running sideloaded Android apps and playing local network media from my NAS. I wanted to get the Fire TV to go through PIA on my router and allow the rest of my home network traffic to avoid the VPN.

With the easy GUI, I was able to get PIA to show a stable connection on the DD-WRT Status/VPN page, so I think it's working. The problem arose when I reserved an IP for the Fire TV on my router outside the DHCP range and named that IP as the single one to go through the VPN. I'm told, policy based routing switches the router application of the VPN to white listing only named addresses to use the service. That seemed to work, because as soon as I named an IP for policy based routing, all other traffic jumped to full (non-VPN) speed and showed as unprotected at the PIA website.

The problem was, when the Fire connected to the reserved IP, it immediately showed a loss of internet connectivity. No amount of fiddling with settings has brought joy. I suspect that something in my setup is wrong. Is it okay to set the reserved IP on the router via the MAC/host address? Is it okay to leave the wired Fire TV network setting at default, assuming it just joins the IP reserved for it? (I think so, because the reserved IP setup worked as long as I had the OpenVPN settings disabled) Also, since I've had constant trouble with UDP in my PIA settings, is it okay to switch to TCP as I have done?

Anyway, I finally hit the wall and I'm posting to the collective brain of the internet about this. I guess it's all too vague to solve as there are about a hundred moving parts, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Thanks!
