Edited my earlier post.

Your earlier link is good ... click 4.4.4 RUU zip link, it's 3.28.605.4 RUU

The only way to reset the partition to out of the box stock is to flash your carrier's 4.4.4 firmware and the stock recovery for you device. Reboot to recovery and select factory data reset and let it do it's thing. If you watch the reset log you will see it mention resetting the NV partition.​

i have to change these to original for verizon?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That's correct, you will need to change back to the Verizon CID and MID to run the RUUs, firmware. Sorry, I missed that in the details you provided.

Alternately, if you change to SuperCID (11111111) in most cases this will bypass the MID check (and save you some steps).

What are those you downloaded ? Which link ?

In my earlier post, I specifically suggested this one : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001604006

If in ruu.zip you downloaded has all those files, it means you need to extract the ruu.zip then run the ARUwizard.exe to install.

I downloaded the 3.28.605.4 ruu.zip to see what's going on here .. it's a signed RUU, you're not supposed to extract it. No normal zip archiver can extract it properly.

Rename the whole as ruu.zip or rom.zip then htc_fastboot it after you put the device in RUU mode

fastboot oem reboot RUU

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip (or rom.zip if you renamed it rom.zip)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

also make sure your windows extension is not hidden so it won't actually become ruu.zip.zip where you will have unable to load ruu.zip error

no ideas what to do...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Me too ... no further idea how to help you.

First I don't know why you extracted those signed RUU you downloaded.

I wrote about error: cannot load 'ruu.zip' - maybe you need to read again why it happens.

I wrote about command htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip if fastboot flash zip ruu.zip doesn't work .. maybe you need to cool down and read everything again and take note on a paper on what to do.

Why don't you try the microsd method, no fastboot no cable involve. Just a microsd. If you don't have space on microsd as you said before, make an effort to copy those files in microsd to PC .. you can always copy back those files later.

Last thing .. maybe wait someone else opinion on what to do ..

One last try ...

You have htc_fastboot.exe in your adb/fastboot folder ? If yes, continue

Type in command prompt

htc_fastboot flash zip and a space after zip

then drag the whole 0P6BIMG_M8_WL_K444_SENSE60_VZW_MR_VERIZON_WWE_3.28.605.4_HSM_Radio_1.09.20.0926_NV_VZW_2.11_002_release_393779_signed_1.zip to the command prompt, no need to rename or anything then you'll get something like this

then enter and see how it goes

Edit : Damn .. just notice I gave you wrong file, the correct one - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934531814

Another thing is I think maybe you need to install firmware first before you run RUU.

firmware is smaller and doesn't need htc_fastboot

Can you try install this firmware : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001602973

Extract that downloaded DOTTAT_VZWM8_FUU4.4.4fullfirmware.zip and use the rom.zip only

note - this rom.zip is not a rom but firmware only.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

i think i hav mentioned it yesterday that my MID is bad at the moment because i have changed it thinking to make it international unlocked, while didnt know it was verizon phone, but now i cant access recovery or bootloader so cant put MID changer in phone and use it

there is any other way to change MID?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
No idea about MID changer, never use one.

What you need to do .. boot to bootloader and install TWRP - maybe version 2.8.7.0 will do

https://dl.twrp.me/m8/

after you install TWRP - boot to recovery

Mount - system

then open command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder

then type

adb shell

follow by

echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x32\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384

don't write yourself the code, copy and paste

then type exit

select reboot menu, select bootloader

try install firmware again.

Edit : your bootloader is locked, relocked or unlocked ? If locked and relocked, you can't fastboot flash the TWRP in normal way.

Download this : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70439093&postcount=412

No worry about the OS no. that will be changed later once you flash the firmware.

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

then follow with the above to change MID
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You did mention it yesterday, but I was personally hoping that SuperCID would bypass the MID check, as it does in many cases. Unfortunately, it doesn't in this case.

Change back to Verizon MID as ckpv5 advises. Its not difficult to do with s-off, and you don't need an MID changer app to do it. And if I remember properly, the MID changer apps don't work on this device, anyway.

then follow with

fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

it's the same as you tried to flash firmware where it says wrong MID

only this time you don't try to install firmware but TWRP in 0P6BIMG.zip format

Also, while you are at this .. after you changed the MID, try to unlock bootloader

same way as try to change MID but this time use these commands

adb shell

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

exit

reboot to bootloader

once you successfully change MID and/or unlock bootloader, you'll be out of RUU mode.

And you're out of RUU mode, right ?

Then install firmware as what was written here : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70502435&postcount=31

If successful .. then your radio will be fixed.

Next .. you need to install Marshmallow firmware

then after .. Marshmallow RUU (if you want Marshmallow ROM)

One step at a time.

If you want a working ROM, install the RUU that I mentioned here : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70502278&postcount=29

same thing as firmware, extract that FUU.zip .. take the rom.zip only but this time use htc_fastboot flash zip rom.zip after put the device in RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU

already flashed via RUU.exe, at the end got same error 171 for usb cable disconnected, but phone booted, few minutes shown only red screen with verizon logo, now booted and seems like gsm works fine :D

but does it mean im locked to this rom? i cant install any other rom, or stock ui but not for verizon? because stock on my old m8 and m7 looked better than this does
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You can't flash RUU.exe because you have usb connection issue. You need a RUU.zip which you can htc_fastboot flash.

But no point you install the stock Verizon ROM. It's better to install international GSM ROM which has support for Verizon device. There are a few of them in dev section. You can install the CM or any CM based 7.1.1 Nougat ROM if you want to.

But first, you need to update the firmware to 6.21.605.3 then you can install any custom ROM which has Verizon support.

Install this a modified 6.21.605.3 firmware which already has TWRP in it -

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911973227

Now you should know how to install firmware, same way as you install the earlier firmware that fixed your radio.

But this time, no need to extract anything ... simply run

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip m8MfirmwareTWRP3_0_0_1.zip

you'll see error, repeat

fastboot flash zip m8MfirmwareTWRP3_0_0_1.zip

Then you can install custom ROM

Ok... good luck & good night
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTrolis:
Now, can anyone recommend me any good rom to install? or how to update this to 6,0? maybe it will change something, because i dont like how it looks now, but in settings check for updates bar looks like i can choose it but it does nothing when i push it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You won't get OTA updates on this device, since its not connected to the Verizon network (limitation applies to many/most of the US carrier variants).

You need to update to Marshmallow 6.21.605.3 firmware as ckpv5 indicates. If you install a current ROM now, it won't boot, or WiFi will be broken.

The older firmware fixed the radio, now you need the newer firmware to work with the current ROMs.

After installing 6.21.605.3 firmware you can try any of the ROMs in the Verizon development section. Alternately, you can use ROMs in the "international" Development section, provided that it is explicitely stated to support the Verizon M8 (most of the ROMs do

not

, so you need to read the threads carefully).

What constitutes a "good" ROM is different from one person to another.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTrolis:
thank you for your answer, I already updated firmware i think, everything went fine, but dont know how to check if its updated.

i need stock rom or something that looks like stock, but doesnt have blinkfeed and those unnecessery apps, i would try a custom rom that is stable and works 100% fine, but dont know which rom is safe to install now
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Its easy to check. If you correctly updated to Marshmallow firmware, it will say 6.21.605.3 for OS number on the bootloader screen. Also, if you do fastboot getvar all, it would say 6.21.605.3 for version-main.

As I've already mentioned, any of the ROMs from the Verizon Development section are intended for your device, and are safe to flash: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development

You will also find some (but not all) of the ROMs in the "international" Development forum which support multiple versions, including Verizon. But you will need to read the ROM threads to determine which support Verizon.

https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development

Viper and S.ROM are two ROMs which support Verizon, that I know of. There are probably others, but you can find them by reading, just as easily as I can.

Hello, I'm here again.. My phone started to fail to connect to wifi. Cant tell if it does to all wifi signals, but I cant connect to my home wifi, it started to disconnect and then randomly connect again while on locked screen, while i was playing some offline games and etc. Then after disconnecting phone didnt connect to wifi whole day, tried everything i found on the internet, nothing helped, it finds signal, i push connect, it says connecting..saved, or even start to not see signall at all while my pc is connected to wifi and im standing near the router.

Now downloading stock RUU again to make it working again and going to sleep, guys can you say anything about this wifi problem? or any tips to get back on road to get gsm signal with custom rom?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you verify (by the methods I indicated previously) whether or not the firmware was properly updated to 6.21.605.3 ?

If so, did you check the ROM thread to see if others have had the same issues (and if any suggested solutions)?

Also, make sure you did a default wipe in TWRP (data, cache and Dalvik) before flashing the ROM. Don't migrate any system data between ROMs by Titanium or other means). Try another Verizon ROM, to see if the problem persists.

Those are all general troubleshooting recommendations, which are useful whenever encountering bugs after a ROM flash.

Try AOSP-OMS or MoKee, both seems to be rather good really, but not flawless ofc.
[Moto X Q&A] chimpknowskungfu:
I couldn't get GPS working with OMS ... Otherwise it is a great ROM. I went back to stock ROM because I use Google maps a lot and need GPS. The stock ROM sucks pretty badly.

Couldn't get latest Mokee installed. installed the Lollipop version of Mokee and couldn't get GPS working either.
[Moto X Q&A] liveroy:
You just need to erase modemst1 and modemst2 in fastboot and the gps will be working.

The MoKee MM ROM is still in active development btw.
