[Q] how to tell which region your phone is from? - HTC Desire X

Hi all,
I just got my hands on a Desire X, and of course rooted it for Titanium Backup to do its thing.
Now the problem is that I see an OTA update, and can't install it because I had to flash CWM to root it.
I tried various "stock recovery" images given in the forum here, but I can't figure out which region my phone is from, so I don't know which recovery to use. On htcdev.com there's a large list of stock roms I can try to reinstall for the device, but I don't want to spend 2 days figuring out which region this phone is made for through trial and error. Is there an easy way to find out in the menus/configuration files?
Thanks!

Well, just had a moment of pure genius (not) and looked at the file name for the OTA update. It was something like OTA_ICS<blahblah>_EU_<blahblah>, so I'm going to speculate this is made for the EU region from HTC.
That said, if there's an alternative way to tell/confirm this, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Have you tried this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35031493&postcount=25
already provided by cobje? Works for most DX owners.

whats available on htcdev.com are just a bunch of binary and source files which are not flash images.

In addition to my previous post: to find out what region your phone is from you'll need to know your phone's CID number. You can get this by installing an app called 'CID getter' from play store. CID is in red on top of the list when you run the app. You can also type "fastboot getvar cid" in command prompt with your phone connected to pc in fastboot mode.
Then compare your CID number to the ones in this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16186408 of CID numbers. It's for Sensation originally but I think it also goes for other HTC devices.
BEFORE applying whatever RUU make sure that it is compatible with your CID number. In the RUU thread from football you can find the list of compatible CID numbers for the RUU's he has provided (and can be found on htcdev.com).

Unroot TELUS HTC One HELP!!

I have a rooted HTC One from Telus.
I know you cannot OTA update the phone when its rooted it keeps giving an error during the update.
I want to unroot and return to stock.
I found found a Nandroid backup for TELUS as the RUU is not available.
Can someone please help with steps on how to restore the device so I can do the carrier updates on the device.... I don't care about the tamper stuff...
I know Telus will be releasing the KIT KAT update shortly and I want to do the carrier update.
Please help!!!
I am really sorry if this has already been discussed in a thread but I have searched high and low and I can't find any clear information for the Telus device.
Please if we can keep this just to the TELUS variant I will really appreciate it as I see so many threads go sideways!
Thank you for any help anyone can shed!!
CMD line is just fastboot oem lock. If you are looking at Nandroids, I am guessing you have installed custom recovery, maybe a custom ROM? If not, re-locking will give OTA updates, I am pretty sure of. I also think that the AIO toolkit works on TELUS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942. Worth a shot. Maybe someone else who has tried can chime in.
Hey Thanks for the reply I actually figured it out... long process but easy...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383992&page=6
I left out a few steps listed in the original thread... worked like a charm.. i didn't care for the tamper .. I left S off and was able to do all of the OTAs..... if anyone else needing help this is what I did... if not refer to the original thread to reset the tamper and re-lock....
1. changed CID back to ATT (CWS__001)
2. re-ran ATT RUU
3. changed CID back to TELUS001
4. booted TWRP
5. ran a simple backup so I could know the correct location to copy the TWRP stock nandroid
6. booted the phone
7. copied the stock twrp nandroid to the right location ( /TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXX/...
8. booted twrp
9. restored backup

[Q] A Lil Help Needed Please!

Hello,
I am sure this has been posted before and I apologize but I need help.
I have an AT&T branded unlocked HTC One M8 that I am using with T-Mobile.
I am able to get everything except for MMS I have been looking at different forums and posts and all over Google trying to figure out the best and easiest way to get MMS working. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted and s-off I have also changed the CID to T-Mobile however I can't seem to change the MID as I get the "device not found" error in the cmd prompt. I also read I can just flash the T-MO RUU but in trying that the RUU downloads on my computer but nothing else.
I am a newbie so I don't want to brick my phone trying to flash different things where I really don't know what I am doing. lol
Can someone please point me in the right direction with updated information on what I can do? I have tried different apns as well for T-mobile and nothing is working. I have also tried different 3rd party sms apps and still no MMS.
Thank you for any help you can give.

OK so cid is done in fastboot and mid is adb so did you have usb debugging on,and was attempting to change your mid the first time you used adb with your htc?
S-OFF offers it's advantages with flashing ruu in the external sdcard "0P6BIMG.zip" method

Hi,
Yes USB debugging is on and I followed all steps to a Tee from the post found on here (to change MID without Eng) I still get the same Device not found error even after inputting other commands that show my Serial Number so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. All I want is to update my software so I can start sending/receiving MMS.
What folder is your
adb/fastboot .open the folder and Shift+right-click to open a command prompt and try it again .
Did you use a Toolkit to unlock the bootloader and to install custom recovery?
Just trying to go over what's different if you used just
adb/fastboot from the very start out of the box
Have you manually entered T-Mobile's APN info into the phone? This is typically required to use any device that is not purchased from your carrier (carrier branded).
BTW, what is with all the bad thread titles today? At least 4 threads in this forum titled "HELP", "[Q]" or something similar. This this is a Q&A and help forum, so of course you are asking for help and have a question. But please try to give your thread a specific title describing your issue, to help keep the forum organized.

What is hboot and how to update it? (and another small question or 2)

I just bought an AT&T HTC One M8 that came with android 4.4.2 KitKat. It apparently doesn't have any available android lollipop updates since checking for updates using the "AT&T Software Update" option in settings returns a "no updates available" which was weird, but I didn't mind since I was planning to root this and flash a custom rom.
I read up on guides on rooting and unlocking the bootloader which was pretty standard for most android devices. However, S-on/S-off and hboot are 2 things that are confusing me a bit right now despite doing quite a lot of searching on XDA. To my understanding, S-on/S-off is some kind of HTC protection that needs to be disabled to flash certain roms, and hboot seems to be what people are calling the HTC Bootloader (someone correct me if I'm wrong). If I'm correct, I seem to have hboot version 3.16 according to CPU-Z (I checked the Bootloader version number).
After enough reading, it seems like having the latest hboot version is relatively important for flashing many roms (3.18-3.19 I believe), but I have found no guides on how to do this. My only lead so far is the following thread with 1 reply: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/update-hboot-3-18-3-19-t3236897
"Backup any personal data you want to keep (off phone, it will be wiped). Relock the bootloader, run the latest AT&T RUU."
So ok, I guess it's a good thing I'm doing this before rooting the device. However, What's the AT&T RUU? My closest guess was using the HTC Sync Manager on windows to find firmware updates manually, but upon trying this (installing htc sync manager and connecting my HTC One M8) and on the menu clickling "Check for updates", I just get an error message saying "Unable to connect to the live update service".
Then, after some more searching I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/how-update-bootloader-to-3-18-0-0000-t3006738 which said the following:
"Follow instruction on the following thread for updating firmware, and select the 3.28.1540 firmware file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-n"
So, here I am. Unsure whether to follow this instructions since I have no idea what that firmware is or if it will brick my device, or whether it will work since I still haven't rooted or unlocked my device's bootloader and I don't have S-Off (and that thread clearly states S-Off is mandatory for flashing to work). Any ideas?
---------------------------------------------------
edit: I just found out what RUU stands for, but I have been unable to find this "Rom Update Utility". It's spoken as Windows software, but I can't find where to download it. Any help would be very appreciated

S-off is not needed to flash any ROMs. S-off is one way to update the firmware needed to run a ROM (more on what "firmware" is in a bit), but s-off isn't strictly need to update firmware either (other ways to do it s-on).
s-off is needed to modify (hack) certain partitions that are protected even with the bootloader unlocked. Such as hboot, radio, and some others. But its only needed for those specific things; and not needed to flash custom recovery or ROMs. And note that you can still update hboot, radio, and other firmware by "official" means even with s-on.

Yes, hboot and bootloader are the same thing, as far as HTC devices are concerned.
Not only is the latest hboot needed to flash the current ROMs, but its important to update the entire firmware package. Firmware includes not only hboot, but also a number of other critical modules such as radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others; that all need to be updated in order for the current ROMs to function properly.
Good news, you are on the right track, and the proper RUU will update not only hboot, but all the firmware.

I've created an AT&T index thread to catalog such things (sticky to the top of the General AT&T M8 section). It explains what an RUU is, and has links to all AT&T RUUs. You will want the latest RUU (4.28.502.1 or 4.28.502.2 - they are mainly the same except the latter has the Stagefright fix):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
The RUU is rather self-explanatory. As mentioned previously in this thread (and on the Index) your phone will be wiped by the RUU. So backup anything you want to keep by your method of choice. Then simply download the RUU to a PC, connect the phone. Then run the RUU program, and it will walk you through the process (you basically just need to confirm a couple dialogue boxes, and the RUU will do the rest and automatically update all the software/firmware).
After that, what you want to do in short is:
1) Unlock the bootloader using HTCDev.com
2) Install TWRP 2.8.7
3) Flash your custom ROM of choice

Bought M8 unlocked, htc update issue.... and now ATT RUU nothing works

Okay guys, here we go....
I bought a "unlocked" M8. I tried to update the HTC software immediately. However, it said I needed to revert to official HTC software. I went to HTC.com and support page. During the support chat, she got me to install an RUU that belong to ATT. My phone wasn't made for art, not did I have art service. Now, I cannot surf the web, watch YouTube, download apps or anything. I can't do any of those things with cellular data, as I was able to before this ATT RUU. I can only make calls with my m8. If I'm on Wi-Fi, then I can surf the web, download apps, etc.
So, my question is..... How do I get rid of this RUU ATT? I want start fresh where I didn't have att and all the bloatware. I was able to do stuff with my cellular data where I'm not able to now.... What's up guys?
I've been trying to learn, and I think I gotta start with ADB. and flash a recovery:? I dunno. Please help guys. I'ma call HTC at next available opportunity.

Try factory reset
Yeah, I've tried that many times. I've erased the cache partition, done factory reset, etc. And I've rebooted to Fastboot USB MODE, hook it up to PC, and tried the other RUU. But it didn't work. I can't only make phone calls. I can't do anything else with the cellular service. What should I do? Start off by unlocking boot loader, right? With ADB. Or do I need to change ID numbers to match? Or should I use a custom recovery with adb?
Not enough info. Do a fastboot getvar all, and post the output. Be sure to delete IMEI and serial number, as these are personal info.

Meaning what? What RUU did you try (exact file name) and what was the result? Was there an error code, if so what did it say?
You need to be much more specific if you want proper help.

How can we know that, if you haven't told us the device's CID or MID in the first place, or the RUU (other than ATT) you tried to run?
If you installed an ATT RUU, and don't use ATT as your carrier, you will need to manually enter your carrier's APN info to get internet. That is probably your main problem as far as getting cell internet service.

Upgrading Software Issue.

Software up to date issue
HI all, just got this M8 and it is an ATT Version. but I believe it is unlocked because I am using it with cricket.
When trying to update Android Tells me software is up to date ?
Android version 5.0.2
HTC Sense Version 6.0
Software Number 4.28.502.1
HTC SDK API Level
I am pretty sure that ATT has updated to Marshmallow by now / So why can't I update? I am on wifi and 4G/LTE Could it be because I am using a Cricket Sim Card in the Phone ?
I have downloaded the RUU for Marshmallow software version 6.20.502.5. Should I continue with the Manual update ?
I believe this phone was originally purchased from ATT on May of 2016 if it makes any difference , figured I post it. since it could be a newer version of HTC M8.
Also is there a way to back up my current stock rom, without Rooting phone ? Thanks for all your help.
As I cannot root my phone, because when I go into developer option and search for S-off That option is not there and I can't Continue.

That is correct, the AT&t version (and most US versions) can only OTA update if connected to the proper branded carrier (AT&T in this case). Therefore, the RUU is your best option to update.
I have downloaded the RUU for Marshmallow software version 6.20.502.5. Should I continue with the Manual update ?
You can. But you need to flash the 6.20.502.5 firmware first, before you can flash the RUU. See instructions to flash the firmware here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67123738&postcount=7
Then run the RUU. Keep in mind, that RUU will wipe the phone. So backup your data to an off-phone location (cloud, computer, etc.) before RUU.
Also is there a way to back up my current stock rom, without Rooting phone ? The current Lollipop ROM? No, there will be no way to revert to LP by official means, once you RUU to Marshmallow. I doubt you will find the need or desire to "downgrade" to obsolete LP version. If for some reason you did want to, there are options, but would require unlocking the bootloader (to install custom recovery and flash a Lollipop ROM), or s-off (which would allow you to "downgrade" by RUU - which is not allowed with s-on).
As I cannot root my phone, because when I go into developer option and search for S-off That option is not there and I can't Continue.
You are misunderstanding a couple things:
1) s-off is not a setting in Developer Options. s-off can only be obtained with sunshine app ($25)
2) You don't need s-off to root this device. Simply unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and flash SuperSU to root

Also once I flash firmware and upgrade to official RUU will need to Unlock and Root Loader? Will doing upgrading to official Marshmallow Relock bootloader and Un Root Phone ? Back to Stock ? Thanks again, I will be attempting this pretty soon. Thanks again
For the Record, I have made a back up of my Lollipop via TWRK. I also backed it up using Titanium back up, just in case.

You're welcome. Always happy to help!
Two more Questions, Can I upgrade to an official DEV Edition RUU on this ATT Device?
You can't flash the Dev Edition RUU with s-on. Even though the versions are very similar (same model ID - MID) the two versions have different carrier ID (CID). Wrong carrier ID will make the Dev Ed RUU fail, by definition. And the only way to change CID is with s-off. Further, its not really necessary to flash the Dev Ed RUU (and not worth spending money of s-off) to accomplish what you want (see more below)
or would I have to use a Custom Dev ROM ? as I am trying to Tether with my phone, just like my official Developer HTC M8 I purchased in 2014 , Seems AT&T phone wont allow me to Tether ?
Its correct that the AT&T stock ROM disables tethering. Flashing most custom ROMs (or the Dev Ed ROM) will enable tethering - as well as remove annoying AT&T branding and bloat apps. Flashing the Dev Ed RUU is not necessary to accomplish this.
Also once I flash firmware and upgrade to official RUU will need to Unlock and Root Loader? Will doing upgrading to official Marshmallow Relock bootloader and Un Root Phone ? Back to Stock ? Thanks again, I will be attempting this pretty soon. Thanks again
You need to relock the bootloader in order to flash firmware and RUU (command: fastboot oem lock). Once the RUU is complete, the phone will be on a fully stock "factory" image. So you will be unrooted. You will also be back to stock recovery (no longer have TWRP installed). From there, what you want to do:
1) Unlock the bootloader again. Either use the same unlock bin code you used to unlock BL before. Or get a new code from HTCDev.com
2) Flash TWRP back to the phone with fastboot. TWRP 3.0.2 is recommended for compatibility with MM firmware.
3) Flash the desired custom ROM. The custom ROM will be rooted (if you flash the Dev Ed ROM, you can select root in the AROMA installer).
For the Record, I have made a back up of my Lollipop via TWRK. I also backed it up using Titanium back up, just in case.
Always good to make backups. Although be aware, that RUU will wipe the phone, including internal storage. So if you picked internal storage as your backup location, you'll want to move/copy to another location (removable SD is okay, otherwise to computer or cloud).
Also note that restoring app data (as well as call logs, SMS) using Titanium, after RUU or ROM flash should be okay. But don't restore any system data, as this can cause problems.

I think i may have bricked my phone? I went and installed an RUU firmware file for Marshmallow as most instruct to do via Fastboot. All went well, installation completed and i was able to send command to phone to reboot. when it tried to reboot. white screen with HTC Comes on and then goes almost black with a very light dark grey background.
Phone would not reboot into anything but dark screen. even when i restarted it with power button. the only thing that worked for me, was Holding Down Power/Volume and quickly hit the volume down button before device would vibrate to reboot, that took me into recovery. Below is what i see in Recovery.
Phone now has new software

Can anyone help me with this? I bought the phone with me on vacation and now using an HTC Developer Edition that the button down doesn't work and Volume down button us sunk in But at least i have my phone with all my contacts and apps , For now ?

It's basically impossible for you to do anything with an s-on M8 that will actually brick it. That is the good thing about s-on.

I think you only flashed the firmware.zip and not the RUU. Based on the condition here, and your other thread you created here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/htc-one-e-m8-fastboot-issues-t3757628
I clearly described above to flash the firmware.zip then the RUU. They are 2 completely different things. Firmware is about 80 MB and only contains hboot, radio, and a few other things. RUU is a full image that is 1.5 GB.
No boot after flashing signed firmware is normal, as it expects the RUU to be run afterwards.

adb doesn't work in fastboot mode. Only fastboot commands will work in fastboot mode. You can only use adb when booted to OS (not an option for you, obviously) or alternately in custom recovery TWRP. So what you describe (adb not working) is normal and expected.
However, fastboot is enough to get the phone working from the described condition.
