Hey, Seems like Videotron is lazy when it comes to updating their user to the latest OS.
My friend has this phone and since I know a lot when it comes to do simple things like flashing roms and kernel, he wanted me to help him to update his phone. Thing is, I can't get, for the love of Morgan Freeman (AKA god), to S-Off his Amaze 4G. So I'll try the alternative since he doesn't need anything fancy other than the regular stuff.
I know that I can flash manually the OTA for carriers that has it but I don't know if I should try a Telus, T-Mobile rom and so on.
So what can I do about that?
And something else too, the last time I updated from OTA, it was when I received my Nexus S so I don't know if it factory resets and I need to create some backup in case.
You will HAVE to s-off if you want to update via another carriers ICS rom file, it's not possible with s-on, check the pin hole on his amaze, you may have to take a sharp pin and dig inside of it a bit, there seems to be a plastic covering it at times. Try s-off again after that, use a a paper clip with some tape insulating it, it works really great compared to wires. S-offed an evo 3d on the very first try today using one.
Okay, cool. Thanks for tips I will try it out.

This part is still unanswered and as I am in the same situation I ask the same question
I don't think the phone carrier matters once s-off since we usually don't flash the radio but especially for OTA upgrades maybe you have to be superCID and/or use a carrier that uses the same frequencies, 1700/2100 in Videotron's case?
Are there any other crucial differences than the radio between one carrier and another? Do we absolutely need to go by the OTA of another carrier to get to ICS or is there a way to flash any ICS based ROM and fix it manually after? I searched that but I can't even find the question asked... If we can't, then why? What are the modified parts from stock GB to stock ICS on the same carrier?
Maybe should I start a new question thread... Does xda uses that one question per thread rule? Don't remember to have seen it in the rules.
Thanks in advance!

All amaze devices basically have the same band, all the carriers we have here use the same band, so the choice of software is upto you since they basically have the same options, the only exception being T-Mobile, they are the only carrier that add in their own apps and modify a few things about the firmware and thanks to the htc/apple issue they changed the app association as well, so if you want the pure software with everything stock HTC the way it would be on an international version, then the Telus option would be best for you.
Good for the carrier specific software. Or in this case the absence of specificity
One detail is that Videotron installs a single app it's called "Portail Videotron" for renting and stream movies over the 4G network, a good way to have users using an enormous amount of data. But as long as the radio that comes with the Telus ROM is the same this app wich I don't even use I really don't care.
Will start a new thread for the other questions. Or won't if you think it won't be useful.

Ok so my questions are basically already in my first post. It is not that I don't understand the procedure to upgrade to ICS by dl the OTA, rename it to PH85IMG.zip and let hboot do the rest, it is just that I would like to be free to go back and forth between GB and ICS as I have always did with other phones. I can't see wich part of the system can be modified only by the OTA and not manually.
Edit: one may find it useless, it is just that I dislike much to be dependent on the OTA's

Due to signatures and encryption and in the cases of the things we just don't wanna touch like the radio, it's risky to mess with things like the radio and since we don't have a PH85IMG for every carrier like we do for tmobile we have to depend on the OTA files, in order for you to switch between GB and ICS as you wish you will have to s-off, that's the only way. Once you're s-off and super cid, you can upgrade, downgrade, swap hboots, swap roms, try out other carrier roms, all without restrictions.
Ok I tried to flash ICS EnergyRom with s-off, now that I am supercid I try once again.

Make sure you update your device to ICS first before you flash a custom rom, certain background files like radio, hboot etc have to be the ICS version for it to work.
That is what I don't like... But just to make it clear, with ICS version of hboot radio etc both GB and ICS are supported while with GB version ICS is not?
For now I feel a bit lazy so I will use the usual way and will look back at this at some moment.
Thanks

The Videotron RUU is supposed to work. You have to be in the bootloader wich you can access by removing your battery and then vol-down + power, relocked (not in recovery). I don't know if it has to be stock CID, don't think so.

That RUU is GB, not ICS since nobody every pulled the ICS OTA file, I don't have an amaze anymore to pull it so if any of you are on GB, kindly pull the file for other users.
Updating hboot only
How can I update only the hboot? And would an hboot from a different Canadian carrier still work? e.g. hboot from Telus and rom from Wind Mobile...

You don't need to update anything, I'm s-on and running the latest venom without any issues. Being s-off gives you the advantage of flashing the firmware directly, if you want to update just look for the firmware updates in android development

I'm not new to installing roms just new to the EVO LTE and I don't wanna mess it up
I've installed every single rom to my OG EVO and 3D but I want to be careful on this one
It's always better to be safe and get the info ahead of time then to rush in and end up another help thread in an unusually high number of strikingly similar threads that seem to have really reared lately. I guess more and more people are upgrading to the lte and are too confident to bother with learning the phone first. The majority seem to say I had xx phone and I flashed all the time blah blah blah. More people need to look up all the possible issues and solutions before jumping in.

If you want to it's really easy. The firmware update includes all of that. Just change the name to PJ75IMG.zip, put it on your SD card, and it will automatically install when start the bootloader. Then make sure to delete it off your sd card.

I'm going to trump om4 on this.
Yes, update your frimware and radios to run MeanRom. You will have a better experience. Those that don't have all kinds of problems with wifi and data not connecting. HTC came our with a radio update for a reason, the original released sucked ass!!!! The latest version of the radios will make your phone run great. Big Daddy responded to you with a link for the download to update the firmware and radios. Please do this, so you won't end up with the rest of the people constantly complaining that this doesn't work or that doesn't work. The new firmware bits, PRI, and radios solved 90% of the problems that people that didn't update have.
UPDATE!!! UPDATE!!!! UPDATE!!!!
You're S-OFF so do it already.
Tanks I've been running meanrom for 4 days and no problems yet which is good but I will do so as soon as I get a chance
And I have anothe rquestion but don't want to make a new thread

For the past two-three weeks, possibly longer, I noticed that I no longer have mobile data unless reboot my phone while not connected to Wi-Fi. It seems the phones doesn't want to find data after leaving Wi-Fi ranges. I've tried different ROMs and tried out new Kernels -- Nothing seems to correct this. I'm wanting to to try and update my RUU since I saw that someone was able to correct this issue by doing it.
I'm running HBoot 1.9 and 3.16
I've read up on Rum Rummer and ViperRUU -- and still unsure which I should use and really, how to. I'm just wanting to update the phone and radios and then re-flash a ROM to see if the issue resolved.
Any help will be greatful. If there's a how-to listed anywhere, sorry. but if you could lmgty, it would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't mention anything about what firmware version you're on, what ROM (or ROM's) you've tried. This could be very useful in helping track down your issue.
Typically, RUU isn't necessary unless you booger up a partition, or want to get your phone back to a relatively stock state. It stands for ROM Upgrade Utility or Repair Upgrade Utility.
Rumrunner is for gaining S-off with the newest OTA update. Not the same as VipeRUU.

Still need to know your firmware version. Go to Menu>Settings>About Phone>Software Info>More and list your baseband (firmware) version. As far as data issues, some AOSP ROM's are known for them (mostly older builds). The newer AOSP ROM's seem to have the issue more or less fixed. Do you have data issues with Sense ROM's or AOSP ROM's, or both?

I just flashed Viper to test with Sense based ROM, but still the same. If I walk out the house/work, it won't regain mobile data until I reboot or reconnect to wi-fi.

Could be an issue with the Sprint connections optimizer (which I don't use). You're a couple of firmware versions behind, also. If you're not S-off, I recommend you do so and update your firmware to the latest version. You can use Facepalm to get S-off in less than five minutes time. Are you by chance using a custom kernel with Viper? I've run Viper before and never encountered data issues. Do you only have data issues in and around your house, or do you have data issues in general?

Yeah, I'm S-Off currently. I'll have look into updating firmware, searching now. As far as the data issue. It's everywhere. The only fix I've noticed is either turn off wi-fi completely or reboot after I've lost wi-fi signal. For example, right now I'm connected to my home wi-fi, if I leave the house, it won't use cell data unless I reboot. But also, if I disable wireless and reboot while in my house, I'll get cell data. It seems it never kicks off to cell data when wi-fi lost.

I'd definitely look into updating your firmware. If the issue persists afterwards, you may need to use VipeRUU to go back completely stock, and if the issue is still there, you most likely have a hardware problem and need to get your device replaced.

Little explanations needed !!!
Hi guys,just joined this HUGE community where you can find almost everything you need for your satisfaction:good: !
But since i`m noobie would appreciate some assistance in explaining how to unlock my M8,and install Android Revolution HD ROM !!!
I spent like 5 hours yesterday reading all kind`a info about how,where,why etc ... and the more i read,the more confused i got
Things i got to find out about my M8 = *software statusfficial* *Locked* HBoot-3.19.0.0000 Radio-1.22.30306251.27G CidNum- HTC__Y13 Version Main - 3.33.401.6
So the things i`m clearly too dumb to understand is STEPS from A-Z ,to get Android Revolution HD over Original(full with crap )ROM !?!
Would appreciate if some smart developer could explain step by step what should i do first,and what last... should i get S-off first,or should i unlock it first,or make it bootable ...as i told, i read so many info ,and got rally confused about all that process :silly:
Sorry for my bad english ,and tnx in advance for all who cared to shine some knowledge in my darkness :angel:

But all you need to do to install ARHD on your phone is unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com, install custom recovery and flash the ROM.

Its not clear what you are trying to do, or what your current configuration is. The radio is the software that makes your phone work on the cell network.
If you did not specifically flash the radio (s-off required) its still on some stock radio. Although it might not correspond to the software (main version or OS) version you are on, since its also not clear what software you are on.
Ok really stupid question...what does AT&T mean ...this forum is FULL with different abbreviations ,i got no clue what does half of them mean ... there should be made a topic for noobs like me with only explanation of abbreviations:fingers-crossed:

i was told go back to stock and take stock update but i never received one in the first place.
is there a way that i can flash 4.4.4. firmware now that im bootloader unlocked/rooted and s-off?
would i flash zip firmware then reflash android 22.1 or the other way around?
sorry for the noob questions but after searching for awhile i can say im honestly stuck without having to go back to 100 percent stock and hope i get an ota update
there is no att 4.4.4,if on an ATT variant,change your cid to BS_US001 and flash the 3.28.1540.5 ruu if you really want 4.4.4

US Dev Edition firmware here (included with WNC's ROM): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
Assume you are on AT&T, since this forum section is specific to the AT&T version. Note that Euro ROMs may create some network issues on AT&T (most prominent of which is LTE issues with Google services). The best combo for AT&T is WNC's ROM and the matching firmware.

there is no att 4.4.4,if on an ATT variant,change your cid to BS_US001 and flash the 3.28.1540.5 ruu if you really want 4.4.4

i guess thats where the confusion lies. Its not that i want 4.4.4. i thought i needed 4.4.4. to run the custom rom.

What did you try to flash ("couldn't get anything to work" doesn't' tell us a thing)? And what was the result?

your right i should be more specific. i went under the firmware section for the revolution rom and downloaded the firmware (3.32.531.2.zip). Now learning that this is euro rom and not att specific rom i guess the firmware i installed had nothing to do with att. the result didnt change. it was as if i flashed the rom without the firmware again. everything worked fine just no wifi. Before doing any of that i did a backup with twrp with just stock settings. right now im rooted and s-off. Looking into the rom you suggested and reading before i do anything. Its quite confusing this go around for me not too sure why.
appreciate everyones help though ! :good:
Backup your files [email protected] pics music etc,change cid and run the 3.28.1540.5 ruu,this is the same device(att variant) as us developer edition,will put you to latest compatable firmware and enable you to run any 4.4.4 builds out.

Did you flash the firmware with fastboot, following the instructions from the first link I supplied?
I think you are doing something wrong, which is probably why WNC is suggesting the RUU (which is a executable, and pretty much self-running).

yes i flashed the firmware with fastboot. i read both those posts before attempting even watched a few vids to make sure i did everything correct. However i think i am just going to go with WNC rom. i honestly had no idea there were euro roms and att specific roms. I figured everything in the att section was att specific. live and learn

What is your current hboot and radio numbers (both are displayed in bootloader).
Also, you often have to flash the firmware zip twice in order for all the modules to install.
Connect phone to computer with fastboot in power settings turned off, open a command prompt navigate to your adb/fastboot location and run adb reboot bootloader,once phone reboots it will connect to fastbootusb ,once this is established run this command fastboot oem writecid BS_US001then run fastboot reboot-bootloader,once this is done can run the ruu from fastboot connection.

The hboot and radio numbers indicate you are on the latest firmware. If you did in fact flash the firmware twice, I would be confidant the firmware is all properly installed. I would try either:
1) Flash the desired ROM again after wiping data, cache and Dalvik
2) RUU as WNC suggests
3) Try WNC's ROM with corresponding firmware
Hello people,
I've been using Nexus devices for a while on which rooting/flashing/updating was far simpler than my new phone - HTC One M8. I have been researching for around 2 months now and still have not been able to come to a clear-cut solution to my problem.
I am currently on 4.4.2 and my CID is CWS_001, I am S-On and firewater did not work - before going for sunshine, I want to know if it is possible for me to update my firmware in order to flash 4.4.4 and above ROMs. I tried flashing a newer ROM but its boot up time was huge and performance was lagging as well, after research I found out that I need to update firmware for it.
Now, I do not even know which firmware I currently am on since there is too much going on in HTC One M8's forums for a new person to get a grip of things. If any one from the XDA community could clarify and simplify things for me, I would be highly grateful.
Thank you.
Cannot flash firmware without being s-off, more than likely you are on either 1.58.502 or 2.23.502 if you took the ota before it was pulled.

Hboot 3.16 = 1.12, 1.54, or 1.58 firmware
Hboot 3.18 = 2.23 firmware
With 1.x firmware, you can only run ROMs based on 1.x software (otherwise experience long boot times and/or broken WiFi).
Similarly, on 2.23 firmware, you can only run ROMs based on 2.x software
EDIT: Corrected the hboot numbers. Sorry for the typos!
Thank you for the response guys. I just booted into fastboot to check my HBOOT and it says "HBOOT-3.16.0.0000".
That does not match with any of the two options posted in the previous post. I am trying to identify my current HBOOT and firmware in order to flash a ROM which matches these IDs. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do to determine the two?

Did you try firewater before it was discontinued or is it still available for you?
I tried it around two months back and got message that it is not possible to attain S-OFF. Tried a couple of times again later too but same outcome.
I am in the same situation as the OP, only difference is that I have S-OFF from Sunshine.. Just got my phone. I hope to follow along as you guys help him out.

Sorry bud, my bad. Typo on my previous post. It should be:
Hboot 3.16 = 1.12, 1.54, or 1.58 firmware
Hboot 3.18 = 2.23 firmware

Back to the core question: NO you cannot update your firmware by any "official" means at this time, with your current configuration (s-on). There is no AT&T update that contains 3.x firmware. To update the firmware by "unofficial" means you need s-off.
S-off by sunshine, then update the firmware as outlined in the thread below:

Since you are already s-off, just follow the instructions in the thread I linked above to update firmware.
