Thanks for replying.
My phone has been flashed with some custom rom. I want to revert to stock rom but the only one I can find online is an older version, also with older hboot, so when i flash i get "older hboot vesion" error.
If I can't s-off, how can i solve this problem?
Thanks

First, you need to know which version of the Rhyme you have - as in what region and/or carrier was the phone originally from, as well as the current hboot version, baseband version, etc. This will make it much easier to find the correct firmware. If you aren't sure, then, if you have fastboot set up, boot to bootloader and run:
fastboot getvar all
and post the results here.

This is what i get from phone;

What happened to your device? There is one with only slight different main version in the androidruu.com. If you have nothing to lose with your device, i suggest you to flash that ruu instead since wrong ruu flashing will only show error code.The RUU will firstly check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the Android phone before flashing
Rooted
Thanks for reply, I did root my Htc One X plus with stock rom. I was using as rooted device and everything was well ...
I couldn't do factory reset when I try it. There is a update for 4.2.2 but I can not do it due to root.
My htc is relocked and S ON now.
Thank you ...

I have nothing on my HOX+ because I accidentally erased everything. I can boot in the loader and I have TWRP installed. I want to load any ROM which could at least bring me in my phone. I tried the "Adb sideload XXX.zip", but I get nothing showing since there is nothing listed in the:-adb devices..
Any good Samaritan to help me ot of this situation is much appreciated.
Thank you

[Q]URGENT, getting back to STOCK, warranty purpose!

Dear friends,
Because of warranty purposes I've got to send my HOX+ in before Friday evening.
I didn't thought that this would be such anoying as it is right now!
I tried to find a "Stock ROM", Stock recovery, and a way to relock my bootloader.
The main problem is that I'm unable to find me Nandroid backup.. I won't be appear again.
So my questions are:
Where to get a Stock rom?
What steps in which order do I have to do?
Please help!

CID: HTC_GER_102

Due to the urgency, I already found someone, who was able to help me
For everybody else who need a Solution:
1. First of all, you should find out your CID (which indentifies the Branding and the country) and your Bootloader Version.
To find out CID:
Switch into bootloader, connect to PC, use fastbootcommand "fastboot oem readcid"
To find out version:
Switch into bootloader, connect to PC, use fastbootcommand "fastboot oem version-main"
2. GET THE CORRECT RUU!
There is something called "RUU" which stands for "Rom Upgrade Utility".
It will bring you device COMPLETELY(Rom -> Kernel, Recovery,) back to Stock!
WARNING: ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED!
Additional Information:
There's an easier way to get the build version.
In your Phone: Preferences - System - Software - More Information and read the Build Version.
IN MY CASE the build version readed by the fastboot command was different to that shown in my preferences on the phone!
IN THIS CASE CHOOSE THE FASTBOOT ONE!
3. LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!
This is something I havent understood yet.. Anyway, it works
To do this:
Switch into bootloader, connect to PC, use fastbootcommand "fastboot oem lock"
4. RUN THE RUU (.exe) AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
Your done
Thanks to everyone

There's a two year warranty?! I doubt my phone would be taken in even if it turns out it is still covered. Being overly sluggish is probably not a warranty claim. heh.
Good to know I don't need to go back to stock though if I do send it in. Thanks!

Your devices seems to be the European or Arabian version whereas I have the Asia/India version therefore a stock backup of my device will not get you your warranty back. Sorry, I can't help it.

I have been using my unlocked M7 (international variant) on T-mobile's network for a while, but now i'm figuring I may need updated Firmware. I haven't been able to find anything for it since my OS- in hboot is blank and so is Mainvers- in fastboot. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. Ill list my specs below as well.

On a side note: The lates TWRP was flashed after i dirty flashed viperone. Could this be why my mainvers is missing?

You should edit your first post to remove your imei and serialno from the internet. You have some important missing data so it would be hard to recommend a stock recovery. The complete version-main number will tell you which stock recovery you should use. It should either be the same number or the next version up. Once you have those numbers you can look here to see it one is available.

Hi @majmoz
Thank you so much for your help.
I have flashed the stock recovery. Now it could successfully install one OTA update but my phone has updated only to 4.2 i.e Jelly Bean.
Now when I check for the next kitkat updates, it says no update found
Can you let me know where the problem lies, as my previous HTC one had kitkat in it but with this one am not able to update

If you were able to update once, then you should be able to continue the updates. Sometimes, it takes a couple of hours or more before you will see the next update. If after a day or so still no update then we might have to look into it further. As long as you didn't unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery you should be OK.
htc one e8 m8s
Which one I must choose for my device HTC one e8 m8sd,thanks before
I'm so confused because I lost my signal when accidentally choosed USA bands
sprint version
what is the baseband for open all bands posible in htc one sprint?.
HTC One Signal
My HTC One barely & inconsistently connects to the network. Data connectivity is completely dead. I am out of contract and have changed network provider so I know the issue is with the phone. I am hoping it is a radio issue but have no clue how to deal with it. I had it 'S-off'-ed today but do not know how to proceed.
I am looking for noob/dummy steps to find an alternative radio, add it to the phone and 'flash' it.
Any takers?
Cheers

So far, Nusense Rom is working and the phone is working fine but any kernel and hboot will leads to softbrick and bootloops. My ROM version and baseband has disappeared from getvar and Bootloader due to flashing incompatible firmware and getting bootloops on the first flash .The original version as I've found out through Google is 3.24.707.102. I made the mistake of not backing up the original firmware and now I'm stuck with custom roms until I can find a way to restore to the original T6U compatible stock ROM. When I find the original firmware or RUU of this variant I will upload it here in hope of helping the devs in troubleshooting problems.
Here is a link to the hboot I've managed to pull from my phone before attempting to flash the nored hboot of international variant which led to a softbrick stockhboot.img
Interesting... u is the 3G version & ul is the LTE version.
This phone seems to be a non retail version - did you actually buy it retail? it seems like it was dev phone. It has Engg HBOOT and its s-off

HTC 044 CID is Europe and that is something you cannot buy in Vietnam
If you got Chinese friends, you can ask them for a RUU
3.24.707.102 is not Vietnamese, 707 is Indian if i remember correctly.
This is one hell of a variant lol!

HTC_044 is what it says so I wish my phone was European
From my memory, the original firmware does support LTE but I can't test at the moment because Vietnam doesn't have LTE yet. I was able to S-OFF with Sunshine but no idea if the Hboot is engineer or not. From the getvar of the other user, if it is correct then it is one hell of a variant indeed. The 3.24.707.102 is the latest OTA update . I've already tried searching for RUU of this phone but nothing came up and pretty sure Chinese variants are different.

Yeah I've already found that mobilefileserver website. It requires a paid membership so I'm not sure of authenticity. I'll give it a try when I find out

If you manage to get it, you shouldn't be worried. It's a encrypted zip and HBoot wont allow flash an improper file.

Thank you for the help Can I ask if my phone does have an ENG HBOOT, what would the difference be compared to a normal unlocked and S-Off device ?

Looking at 8064 it looks like it is. a method to confirm would be to try changing your MID and if it allows then it is ENGG hboot
Code:
fastboot oem writemid xxxxx
Please look at the forums & warnings before you attempt this
It returned an Error. Also i searched throughout the forum and seems most getvar returns this same HBOOT-8064 result so it looks like it's not an Eng Hboot afterall
please.. i need this stock rom
3.24.707.102

[Q] How to return M8 to stock OS so that I can upgrade OTA?

I got this device from AT&T last year. I went to htc-dev to unlock the bootloader, then I installed CyanogenMod. It hasn't been without problems but I have been relatively happy. However, to upgrade to the latest CM12, I need to update the bootloader. The most reliable way to do that is to return to stock and do the OTA.
I want to return my device to stock temporarily. I've looked through the forums and it seems like it should be possible. There are RUU available, but only for certain CIDs (not mine). The other option is to use a Nandroid backup. Apparently these are touchy. It's best to have your own (I don't), because you have to match the proper versioning or else you might have a brick. I went to check my phone information with
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and the result was strange compared to what I have seen elsewhere:
Code:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: INVALID_VER_INFO
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main:
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
(bootloader) serialno: [[B]redacted[/B]]
(bootloader) imei: [[B]redacted[/B]]
(bootloader) imei2: Not Support
(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000
(bootloader) product: m8_ul_ca
(bootloader) platform: hTCBmsm8974
(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B12000
(bootloader) cidnum: CWS__001
(bootloader) battery-status: good
(bootloader) battery-voltage: 0mV
(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic
(bootloader) security: on
(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP
(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: c3d94491
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
finished. total time: 0.006s
The all-important "version-main" is missing, and the baseband-version is marked invalid. I'm not really sure where to go from here. I really want to update the bootloader so that I can get the next CyanogenMod build. (It fails to install with a complaint about the bootloader version. It wants 3.18 or 3.19, while I have 3.16.
I don't really know where to go or what to do now. Advice?
(Finally, I have a custom recovery [Team Win]. My phone is currently S-On)

Not sure where you've been looking, or why you think that. But RUUs are readily available for the AT&T version for every software version since release. And one of the few M8 versions that has consistently had RUUs. AT&T RUUs are listed on my Index tread, sticky at the top of the General AT&T forum section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

Your hboot number corresponds to software 1.xx, but it might be 1.12 (less common) or 1.58 (probably).
Restoring to stock using a nandroid is an option, but IMO more complicated than RUU. You will need to restore the stock nandroid, stock recovery, then OTA twice (to software 3.x then 4.x) in order to make your firmware (including hboot) current. Then flash TWRP and flash CM12.
For the RUU route, you will need to relock the bootloader, RUU, then unlock the bootloader (go through the HTCDev.com process) again. Then flash TWRP and CM12. But the downside to RUU is that it will wipe the phone, but that might not be much of an issue if you are a ROM flasher.

Oh, I must have been looking in the wrong place. Somehow I found myself on the other (non-AT&T specific) index.

Wiping the phone is not an issue for me.. So then, I just pick one (I'm leaning toward 1.58 bootable RUU) and flash it, and that's it. I think I can figure it out. Does it matter which one I pick? Anything else I should know?
Thank you!
Just checking in to say that everything worked perfectly, I am in the process of taking OTA updates now.

I know you've already got it sorted out. But just for your info:
The only restriction on RUUs (in addition to the fact that they need to match your phone's CID and MID) is that with s-on, you cannot run an RUU that is an earlier version than is on the phone (hboot, OS number), meaning you cannot "downgrade". Seeing as you had either version 1.12 or (probably) 1.58; and the only 1.x version RUU released was 1.58, any AT&T RUU would work in your case.
This also means that any equal or greater version AT&T RUU will work. Meaning with RUUs you can even have just skipped up to the latest Lollipop RUU (software 4.28) without running any "intermediate" RUUs or OTA updating up to LP. I would have pointed this out earlier, but I wasn't sure which method (RUU versus OTA) you preferred to use.
RUUs are in contrast to OTAs, which normally need to be installed in sequence.
Thanks for clearing that up. There was definitely some underlying confusion on my part. In essence, there was no reason to flash the earliest RUU and then install the OTAs, when instead I could have flashed the latest RUU and achieved an equivalent result. Oh well, no harm (and I learned something).
I wish phones were as simple as PCs. Or rather, that phones were as difficult to screw up as PCs.
As an aside, do you have any personal favorite OS to flash to the M8?

Very true. And in regards to doing OTAs or RUUs, you now know how to do both!

That's always a tough one. Its so personal. Some folks like AOSP or GPE, while some prefer Sense. Folks are looking for different features (customization, performance, etc.).
Personally, I'm not an AOSP/GPE person at all, and actually like Sense. And tend towards pretty stock ROMs, with maybe a few added customizations and performance tweaks, but otherwise pretty clean ROMs. I was on the stock Dev Edition Sense ROM for a while, than more recently SkyDragon Sense (so I could use Sense 7) and then LeeDroid.
That probably doesn't help you much , as it appears you may be more of an AOSP fan. You might check out the GPE ROMs, if you haven't already. IGPE is closer to stock Android than Sense, but should be more stable and bug-free than CM12, since its based on official HTC software.

Thanks for your input after I thought I was done, I managed to break it, fix it, break it again, and so on. I ran into a problem with receiving calls on CyanogenMod so I flashed back to Sense. I decided to shell $2.5 x 10**1 out for Sunshine S-OFF so that I could restore to any software with the RUUs. Then I just kept chasing the rabbit down the hole: SuperCID and Dev Edition. Then I tried a highly modded ROM (Viper One) to see what it had to offer. Finally I flashed back to CynogenMod because I've used it so long it feels most like home. The incoming call problem is absent in the Dev Edition radio firmware (but I've had to contend with other bugs in the past, only steady use will tell if things have gotten better or worse).
I definitely prefer the more stock feeling. The HTC Dev Edition Sense ROM was by far my favorite over either Viper One or the bloated AT&T stock software. I haven't tried any other AOSP based OS. The first time around I was content to HTCDev unlock and flash CM. I didn't even wait a week; I picked this device because I knew it was unlockable.

Then you really should check out the stock Google Play Edition (GPE) ROM or a custom GPE based ROM. GPE is supposed to be a AOSP type experience, no Sense and basically like a Nexus ROM. But its official HTC software, so should be pretty bug-free in comparison to CM12. Not to knock CM12 (I love it on my Samsung Tab Pro 8.4), but I know its had its share of bugs on the M8 (at least from my understanding).
