I have an at&t version m8 on nV rls4. Radio is 1.14. Neither sunshine nor the other s-off method will work on my phone. I get the whelp error or thr "incompatible" error.
Is there a way to update my radio without flashing a stock rom and locking recovery first?
Love the rom. Download speeds are fair at best on lte which is why i want to update radio.

Flashing a radio.img? No.
What hboot version? It shipped with hboot 3.16, so unless you changed it, it should still be so (it looks like you haven't gotten the OTA update, as this would have updated your radio to 1.16). AFAIK, only the newer hboot versions are what is blocking firewater s-off method. I would try to flash the stock rooted ROM and try firewater again. AT&T variant with hboot 3.16 should have no issue with firewater; as this is how I got S-off. And the only difference I can see is your custom ROM. It wouldn't think a custom ROM would make a difference, but its worth a try.
The other option if you still can't S-off, is to accept the software 1.58 OTA update or flash the RUU. As already mentioned, it will update your radio to 1.16. But if experimenting with various radios is you goal, this isn't the solution.
Thank you. Yes i am 3.16 still. I will try your advice and report back.

I was on revolutionary and rooted and went back to s-on, not rooted, flashed the new RUU GB 2.11 but i'm not getting good 4g.
Can I now flash the MR2 radio thru hboot? If so how do I do it?
Thank you!
You are s-on? If so no you cannot flash radios.

There is no way to stay on 2.11 and get another radio with s-on then? TY.
You need to have s-off the flash a radio, my suggestion would be to get back your s-off and root and then flash your modem, also you can use stock and still be rooted/s off just need to download the rooted version of the ruu.
From xda, unless you have to take the phone in for service theirs no reason to go back to s on

Also the 802 radio has been great for me on 2.11 are you using that radio? It also vastly improves battery life

I don't think we can update radios as of yet on hboot 1.5. That would require s-off.

You gotta relock run the 2.17 ruu the unlock ,flash recovery and superuser that's the only way

that sucks. Do yall know if it is worth updating to the latest radio.
It's is if you plan on flashing new roms plus the 2.17 update its a lot better running

ok. thanks
Can someone explain the difference between these items? Also what each allows you to do and if it can be done on a stock phone with stock ota upgrade.
Thanks

With s-on you can only flash radios, roms, and kernels. With s-off you can flash radios, pri, roms and kernels. As well as remove the red warning message during first boot. If you are on the latest ota. I don't believe you can use s-off yet.
On a side note I am s-on and have only upgraded the radio and Rom and everything is running awesome with mean Rom 1.5

With the new ota, when htcdev unlocked there is no more flashing of radios kernals or splash screens. It's pretty much capable of flashing custom recoveries and that is all.

So basically you can do nothing.. What about rooting..

You will need to unlock to flash a recovery image after rooting if u plan on flashing roms or mods still tho.

Trying to use revone to get back to s-off after installing the new OTA update but I'm getting an error.
I saw in the revone thread that it should work on hboot 1.44 which mine still is.
Specifically, I'm getting error -6. Anyone successfully gain s-off after the new update?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
i'm having the same problem I'm going to try and relock and revert back the firmware to the original software
Can you even downgrade back to a fully stock .8 phone after installing the .11 update? Assuming the phone is S-On of course.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
no theres no full ruu for the original version what i'm going to try to do is fast boot flash whats in the old ruu
OK if you wouldn't mind letting me know how that goes. It's not a huge deal for me since I wasn't running any ROMs due to really liking wifi calling and the tmobile camera but I'd like to know I can get back to S-Off if I wanted

Can't get s-off with the new update we have to wait for revone to patch it

I have S-off with .11... it was off before the update, just had to re-install the stock recovery for the update to install. Can toggle on and off.
Now it seems the camera update (that restores HDR) has caused my camera to no longer work AT ALL.
Yeah. I didn't know that the update would work with s-off so I turned it back on before updating.

No. they patched the S-Off method used by revone. You can still root.

s-off
hboot 1.50.5050
radio 1.09.00.1018
Rooted a friends phone exactly like i rooted my own phone (same model and carrier) and installed an MIUI rom (same one as on mine) ran fine for about a week then cut off while he was using facebook, now it will only boot into Hboot or recovery. tried reinstalling the rom, reformatting everything, wiping caches, etc and nothing. debating whether to just unroot it and see if it works.
Any ideas?
don't. S-on, stay s-off. Now as for unroot? Do you mean stock? I think doing ruu is a good thing, fixes most partition issues

What funk said...run ruu the pg86img way.
Then you'll still be soff and no need to lock or unlock ever again

Been searching for an hour, and can't find RUU file. Every guide's link to the file is a dead link
Google, or check htc for download. S-off means you can flash any version older or newer
