Question.
I just came from mean ics and loved it and now I'm mean bean and absolutely love this too. (And thank you fit sure) Will any of the options from the folder (4x5, OC, or more) work in mean bean? If not is an OC or roxie coming? And if I'm late to that party can anyone tell me how and where?
You all rock! Thanks

The old ones will likely not work, but you're welcome to try. You'll likely bootloop, if you're not sure how to fix a bootloop I wouldn't venture that way. All the mods will come, but they have to be ported to the new base. Relax and give the devs some time, it's only been two days.
Trust me, I'm patient.. I can wait for a while if needed. And since these smart people (unlike me) that can do things like this so well I was just curious...
For avoiding bootloop I'm not sure at if that's what I'll get but I'll try later when I get home since I don't want to screw up my phone while at work.. Especially how restricted my internet sites are..
Thanks for the quick and informative response, I never am disappointed !

When I go into my bootloader
JEWEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 1.12.0000
RADIO- 1.02.12.0427
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
Currently I am on the latest MEANBEAN Rom and has been working for the most part pretty damn good, few tweaks that are finicky but that happens.
I just started reading the entire thread and realized that i was no where near updated as I should be
As of the Jelly bean update no, I have been with Mean for a long time, prolly since I first rooted it and then I just went from the ICS to JB MEANrom once I noticed it was up.
DirtyRacun is pretty painless if you follow the instructions to the letter I helped someone a couple weeks ago over gtalk get S-OFF using DR

I would suggest s-off dirty racoon style. Then flash your radios through bootloader. When the jb base came out I was s-on and decided it would be smart for me to future proof so I took the plunge. Follow the instructions for dirty racoon step by step and you should be okay. I've also read somewhere that s-on users who have taken the ota update to jb and then unlocked bootloader through htc have been having some issues getting radio and other firmware to stick after flashing through bootloader. It made sense to me to s-off. Pretty painless if you follow the directions. Hope this helps you out but to each his own.

For every one that helped I want to say thank you to them officially because now I'm s-off and running radio 1.12.11.1119. Now that I got this accomplished is there anything else I should know or update? I saw pri or prl not sure but was told since I am in roam a lot for my job I should probably get the business prl? Anyways thanks again and if there is anything else please let me know!

I was on the Stock GB for amaze 4g and I unlocked my bootloader useing the All in one tool. I was able to unlock the bootloader successfully. However when I install a custom rom it boots into the rom but then the phone reboots just as the rom boots. Ive tried installing different roms but to no avail. Please help me resolve the Issue as i want to use Jb on my phone rather than GB or ICS.
I will be really great full.
PS. my phone is S-off, I dont know whether that makes a difference.

The thing is you can't flash any ics jb custom Rom while your on Gb Rom you have to flash an ics ruu 1st before doing anything else..now all you have to do is go to 4ext format everything except sd card and download the latest ota update which sportsstar has posted on dev section and flash it from 4ext then you have ics firmware..then you can flash any Rom just make sure you do a full wipe before flashing any custom roms

Dude Im really grateful for your help. I have been an iPhone user and things with the iPhone were fairly straight forward, then I got an HTC One V, Rooting and Flashing custom roms on that was easier too, now I have an amaze and I completely over looked the S-Off and SuperCID (BTW what is SuperCID?) bit. I am sorry I know you have better things to do in life than to help me, but id be really grateful if you'd tell me just exactly what to do in the simplest fashion, as I dont even know how to PM you on this thing. :S
Im travelling to Dubai in 2 days and I'd really like my phone back.

So I have been fighting with my phone all freaking day and am ready to toss on the towel... I have been rocking Viper rom 1.8.0 for a couple months now and today they updated to the new 4.4.3 base. it was suggested rather strongly to update framework to 2.22.401.4. I am still on 1.54..... And here begins my saga....
I tried to update the framework with FUU, and it constantly fails out at the black screen with silver HTC logo. it was suggested that this is because I am still S-ON. so I went to the firewater thread and tried that. would NOT do anything untill I went away from Viper Rom and loaded Insert Coin rom. Firewater ran, but gave me a message stating that it is not possible to S-OFF my phone...
So I ask, HELP!!!!!!! I read about sunshine, but sadly right no I simply don't have 25 bucks to toss at an app that I do not know will work on my phone...
Ok, so I just read a different thread in the general section that states that firewater is no longer working... damn. looks like on payday I gotta drop 25 bucks....
I paid for SunShine last night since firewater wouldn't work for me
i ended up just paying for sunshine.
Like the others, I had to use sunshine. The other methods would not work for me.
AT&T 4.4.3 is available now?
Where I can find firmware?
UPD:
Sorry, now I see that it is was a custom 4.4.3 rom.

Its true more recent AT&T M8's do not work with firewater. Not sure if its directly linked to newer firmware number (1.58) or hboot, or some other factor, but its been reported by many here. Sunshine is your only real option.
Sunshine seems pretty darn reliable based on reports here. I don't think there is an issue with it not working like firewater.

Seeing as there is no 2.22 firmware "officially" available for the AT&T version yet, you must be trying flash another carrier's firmware. In that case, yes S-off is expressly required.
I got a refurb unit to replace my old phone that I had S-OFF and Bootloader unlocked... Unfortunately, It wasn't a lack of skill this last time, but the exploit used by firewater is out dated now. For whatever reason they haven't updated it since the phone's release so now everyone is left to pay for SunShine. I paid for it. It works, and great. Just the $25 dollars.. It was unfortunate.

First of all you need stock kernel for firewater or sunshine to work. Both of the roms you suggested have insecure kernel. I would flash your nandroid backup and try again, or ruu and try again. It has to do with when your phone was built if firewater will or will not work. Ive seen at&t with 1.12 fresh out of the box not accept firewater.

Those are some solid words and that right there is your answer. I hope you get it resolved. The way I look at it, $25 is a small fee to be on the safe side or you can have more issues and a lot of headache if firewater doesn't work and you have to buy sunshine.

Well, I restored my stock nandroid (that was what I tried first. ) and finaly got it S-Offed with sunshine. yay! granted I forgot that the account that is linked to my paypal account only had about 10 bucks in it, so after the overdraft fee sunshine cost me around 60 bucks!
But oh well. Im now S-OFF, and got the 2.22.xxx firmware flashed and am now rocking 4.4.3 ROM Viper 2.0.1.
Yeah, turns out a ton of people had issues S-OFF, but the thing is, all of these people had stock (rooted).
(commenting just for others who may stumble upon this)
You need to install a custom kernel that has an insecure kernel, ElementalX is what i used and
it worked fine.

Phone was purchased week of release. Its 4.4.4 though. Maybe when i did that ruu it reverted back? Idk. I just used the toolkit supplied on "theunlockr" rooted it using the instructions on htcdev. Then i used firewater through a cmd window through an adb kit i downloaded. Very simple. Once i got the most updated version of the adb drivers it took probably 3 minutes.

If you or OP would like I could list all the steps and instructions in doing it.
Sunshine isn't working for me. I'm running ViperOne 2.5.0 with the stock kernel and it says "bad kernel" "we don't like your kernel". Tried with ElementalX as well. Same message.

I don't think that is correct, there is no stock 4.4.4 for this device yet (with exception of GPE).
Also, its not possible to revert or "downgrade" by RUU with S-on.

Contrary to post #11, my understanding is that stock kernel works with s-off when custom does not. Although apparently, there is some inconsistancy as that person was able to s-off with custom kernel.
Try a stock ROM, and I've also seen it posted that Maximus ROM works with Sunshine.

Well I'm running ViperOne 2.5.0 (full rom) with the stock kernel and it gives me that message. When I was running 2.4.0 (full rom) with the incremental update it said the kernel was bad (elementalx) but said nothing about the rom.
Anyone know of any other roms or kernels that work with SunShine other than Maximum/Stock?

Indeed there is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
but if you really dont feel comfortable with doing this stuff, by all means don't. Some things (S-off for instance, which is required to flash upgraded firmwares not specific to your carrier branded device) have a high potential to turn your new toy into a paperweight if done incorrectly. Just read up, follow the instructions to the letter, and come back here with questions. Most of the time someone will be nice enough to assist you

Just read up, follow the instructions to the letter, and come back here with questions. Most of the time someone will be nice enough to assist you

I do wanna root just so I can get rid of this app that's keeping my phone awake. I've read about the sunshine root. Some of the stuff I read is a bit confusing. On the website it says that the update won't require towelroot (is that the right term?) for me to be able to use sunshine. But in here it says that I need to root my device before using it.

I personally nothing about Sunshine. I unlocked my bootloader with the HTCDev site when I got the phone (was shipped to me since AT&T couldnt sell it in the brick and mortar stores for the first month or something like that)

Just did the sunshine route. All I know is I'm unlocked and s-off. I do think that I have a temp root. What should I do next?

You need to slow down, as it seems that you are rushing ahead with very little understanding of what you are doing. I recommend any newcomer (even experienced HTC users) to this phone spend at least a couple hours reading and learning before doing any mods to the phone. If a total n00b to Android, root, etc. then more time should be taken to research and learn. Reading includes the sticky threads, basic guides, and also my Index thread has a lot of information organized: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751432
Sunshine is an s-off method, not root.
If you unlocked the bootloader, all you need to root is flash SU/SuperSU or a rooted ROM. S-off is not required for root.
Backing up the stock ROM, recovery, etc. is not required for the AT&T version, as you can RUU back to stock.
Also, AT&T (directly through them, not HTC) will only void your warranty for physical or water damage; not for mods.
I read some more and I rooted my phone already. Thanks for the link

Redpoint is 100% correct. If this all seems foreign to you, or anyone else for that matter, research, research then research some more! Before I do ANYTHING that I haven't done in the past (hell I have flashed many firmwares and it STILL scares me), I do alot of reading and see if its something I really want to do, plus it will help prevent me from coming back and saying "Halp, my phone is a brick now!". Once I have a basic understanding to it, then I go on

That's why I decided to root my phone because I've read enough to know the basics and I was successful. I'm reading on flashing custom Roms now and it seems fairly easy but I won't just flash a ROM without reading more about it. Thanks for the replies.

Personally I use ARHD 10.2, Its as close to stock as any other, but I have been using Mikes roms since my M7. In order to use it without any of the annoying boot bugs etc, you will have to flash a new firmware but that is one I would recommend, but also read up on firmware flashing and the steps to do it properly

That's what I've been doing. But I've been mostly just looking at what ROM I want. When I find the one I want then I'll start really reading about flashing Roms and everything related to it. So far I still love sense so I won't need to change it anytime soon.

dunno if its just EURO, but since ATT lags behind in updates, and Mike keeps his updated with whatever releases are out, its my preferred one to use
I like how all the bloat is removed, regardless if its a WWE or US based rom
There is a debloated ATT 4.4.3 build thats tailored to AT&T already in the AT&T section. International section is not only place ROMS are released these days...

Better than ARHD?
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.
