If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
When i resturned to stock. I only flash the stock recovery at rom. And i dont the radio. What radio does? Do i still need to flash it?
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:

This forum section is specifically for the AT&T version of the M8, which your phone is not.
You want to post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help
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:

AT&T is a carrier in the US. If you didn't know what it meant, then you shouldn't have posted here.
If you don't know an abbreviation, than look it up. There are a variety of threads that already explain what you are asking about, or just Google for it. Here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52484527
It doesn't tell you what AT&T is, but it explains a great many other common acronyms and terms.

where would i find the firmware for 4.4.4.? I tried downloading the android revolution custom rom 22.1 but i couldnt get any wifi after flashing.
didnt realize i had to update firmware(however when i received phone i was on 4.4.2 and i tried doing software update and was told up to date)
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

This is discussed in a great many places. Euro firmware and instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

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.

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).

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.

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:

What happens when you boot into bootloader and select recovery?

Is the phone modded or not (bootloader locked or unlocked, custom recovery, root, etc.).
Are you trying to access stock recovery or custom recovery?
I bought the device with stock ruu
Then I unlocked the Bootloader
Suddenly every thing went bad like I mentioned
Now the Bootloader is relocked

Run the RUU. This should fix whatever is going on with recovery (assume you want stock recovery, as you haven't specified) as well as get you back on stock AT&T ROM.
My guess is that you just have a custom recovery install gone bad. Since you unlocked the bootloader, assume you tried to install custom recovery (as there would be no other reason to unlock the bootloader).
I tried to install the ruu but the phone doesn't accept it
Tried using adb to install it..

What error code?
Make sure its an RUU meant for AT&T. Hboot version of the RUU must be equal or greater than what is on the phone (no "downgrading" allowed unless you are s-off).
Tell me you hboot number, and I can tell you what AT&T RUU to use.
How did you update to 4.4.4?
I tried the same ruu on mobile 4.4.4
Even tried official lollipop from HTC site
Means no downgrading attempt
Anyway adb gives me 12 something error

There is no Lollipop RUU for AT&T. You can't run another carrier's RUU (unless you have s-off and change CID). So that means you are running the wrong RUU.

From the previous comment, I'm not so sure that is the case.
You didn't answer my question about what hboot number is on the phone currently.
You also did not answer my question on how you updated to 4.4.4.
Hboot 3.19.0.0000
The 4.4.4 has been auto updated before I unlocked the Bootloader

That is not a valid AT&T 4.4.4 software number. Are you sure you have the AT&T version? It has the AT&T "globe" logo on the back; and all the stock AT&T ROMs similarly have the AT&T logo on the boot screen.
You should also do adb getvar all, and post the output (be sure to delete IMEI and serial numbers, as there are personal info and should not be posted on a public forum);.
That's a euro build, not sure of the local of it, anything .401 is euro, .502 would be AT&T. I believe your in the wrong section for your device. I would check in euro/international forum for the M8 for possible rom match.

I bought htc one max and I realized that it was sprint and it weird for me as I don't have sprint in my country, it's unlocked with version 4.4.2, sense 6.0. 32gb 4G LTE.
I find TWRP on it. The kernel shows it [email protected]#1.

Thank you for the answer. My problem is that TWRP doesn't list the backup, even I extracted and put it in the TWRP backup folder. My Phone is S-On. Is this, why it doesn't show?

So what i have understood, this rom/backup work with S-ON?
Hello! This is my first post here, mostly driven by my need to download a patch for Stagefright.
My bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted. I was running TWRP up until now, but I want to patch stagefright so I decided to re-flash the stock recovery. Now, whenever I allow my phone to update, it goes straight to a red exclamation mark inside a triangle.
Firstly, I have an AT&T HTC One M8. Here is what fastboot says:
S-ON

Hello! This is my first post here, mostly driven by my need to download a patch for Stagefright.
My bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted. I was running TWRP up until now, but I want to patch stagefright so I decided to re-flash the stock recovery. Now, whenever I allow my phone to update, it goes straight to a red exclamation mark inside a triangle.
Firstly, I have an AT&T HTC One M8. Here is what fastboot says:
S-ON

If you have made any changes to the system, especially the build.prop, the update will fail.

So I would have to do what so that the update won't fail?
Also, does that mean that the recovery isn't screwed?

You need a fully stock ROM, RUU to stock if necessary.

That depends, what recovery did you flash? It has to be the 4.28.502 recovery.

I first flashed the TWRP included with Hasson2000's M8 Toolkit. After that, I flashed an M8 recovery I found on this forum (though I can't remember the version numbers).
If it is related, the RUU updaters from HTC's website do not work on my phone. They fail without my phone even showing a progress bar.
EDIT: got my recovery from this thread
I believe this is the 4.28.502 RUU:
http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...40.45.C33065.00_F_release_426617_signed_2.exe
There are tools available online to extract components from an RUU.

That thread is 7 pages long. How on earth am I supposed to be able to tell what you flashed from this?
My guess if you flashed the wrong version recovery. It has to be AT&T, and it has to be the Lollipop recovery.

Yeah, my bad. I did flash an old recovery, though of the AT&T type. I currently have the ROM.zip from the appropriate RUU version, but can't find a tool that can decrypt it so I can access the Recovery.IMG. All the ones I found were outdated. Do you know what I can do at this point?

I got the correct RUU. However, I am unable to extract the Recovery from the ROM.zip as it is encrypted. All the decrypt tools I found were old and didn't support any new devices like the M8. Do you know of a current one?

Did you actually search? It took me less than a minute to find this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
Looks like there's a 4.28.502.1 firmware zip there that you can extract the recovery from.

Well thank you very much. I did indeed search, but didnt think to look for a ROM like this that had the stock recovery. I am new to these processes, and didn't make the connection.

So, I downloaded the ROM and inside the firmware zip there weren't any files that look like a recovery. What would it be called?
