I've posted in 2 Dev threads, and its like everyone passed right over them w/o any kind of answer of any sorts. What I've included below is a copy of my build.prop I've pulled. If you notice I am on 2.12.1700.1...I ran a ruu to GPE convert, but now that 5.0 is dropping like wildfire. I believe I've come across an issue. You see, I do not have access to a computer so everything I do must be done through my phone or my galaxy tab 4 tablet. I've superCID my device;however, the build.prop line ro.aa.cidlist gibes multiple cid's. These "other" cids don't show in bootloader.
In order to receive OTA..you must be
1. GPE cid (mid-im not sure)
2. On the appropriate firmware
3. Stock recovery
Right now, as it sits I'm on 2.12.1700.1 with philz recovery. I'll make the change to stock when the 5.0 OTA drops...
All I'm trying to figure out is:
Does anyone think I'll have problems based off what my build.prop is displaying ?
I can not change my CID (Unless you/someone knows of a way without a computer can do so)
ro.aa.romver=2.12.1700.1
ro.aa.maincid=GOOGL001
ro.aa.modelid=0P6B10000,0P6B50000,0P6B60000,0P6B12000,0P6B13000,0P6B11000,0P6B15000,0P6B16000,0P6B17000
ro.aa.cidlist=GOOGL001,11111111,T-MOB010,CWS__001,HTC__001,HTC__102,HTC__203,HTC__E11,HTC__405,HTC__Y13,HTC__304,HTC__A07,HTC__032,HTC__J15,HTC__016,HTC__M27,HTC__K18,HTC__A48,HTC__002,BS_US001,BS_US002,ROGER001
Some lines I've copied from my build.prop...my bootloader says superCID (1111111);however, this build prop seems to tell me that it looks like I'd be ready for the 5.0 OTA (When I flash stock recovery,which I'm still using philz)...I've asked entirely too much, even helped a few users with the things I understand, but I haven't received a complete answer...I'm s-off, GPE converted, 2.12.1700.1, rooted, superCID..I can not change my cid (no computer-no access to fastboot commands)...
Bump
Well now I can add some insight.
If in fact your completely converted than you must have the matching "CID"/" MID" as the out of box GPE HTC one m8 .no solid facts as far as the MID but I changed mine to match as I'm ready for the official GPE update. I'll just have to flash the stock recovery back when it's time.also I wouldn't use Xposed framework or anything like it just in case 5.0 rejects it.
I will add that the MID didn't matter for past OTA .I uses the 4.4.3 ruu so I could take the official 4.4.4 update
(easy as pie)
Well I believe I have completely converted to GPE...I followed graffixnyc thread for doing so, and got insight from HolyAngel. I'm still not even a 100% sure if I'm all good to go. I understand that I need to flash stock recovery, but I wasn't planning on doing so til the 5.0 OTA drops. I have searched everywhere for info about changing CIDs w/o the use of a computer,but to no avail...
Currently as it sits..I'm still on 2.12.1700.1, still superCID with philz recovery and bliss ROM...I'm switching back to skydragon 3.0.1 because the battery life is much better
Ultimately your going to need a computer at some point or wait till the ruu is released .
There needs to be more organization in this thread though. I'm not entirely stupid nor am I new to android. The reason I wanted GPE...I never used Sense based ROMs anyways. Partition is smaller with GPE too...
GOOGL001 is the CID, 0P6B17000 is MID for outta box GPE M8...I'm superCID, but never have done anything with MIDs as I let the RUU 2.12.1700.1 flash the MIDs included with the android info text of the RUU zip
I agree to e certain degree but with people making new threads about things that have already been covered definitely don't help.I'm in and out of all kinds of device forums to help because I like the challenges thrown out by all kinds of users.I realize you know what needs to be done and also realize your without a computer to get were you need to be.I hope I've not come off offensive in any way cause I am trying to help.
You didn't come off as offensive...I've gone against the grain of how things are done because after a few days of researching thread after thread after thread. I never found what I was looking for, and I still haven't...I guess I'll just wait til I get a computer to rewrite the CID. I'll just wait til 5.0 ota drops, flash the 3.09.1700.2 fw and see what happens..if anything I'll just reRUU to 2.12.1700.1...it seems to me that my phones ready for the ota anyways considering my build.prop suggests I have 1111111 and GOOGL001..
Am sure I'll see you around.good luck
I'm not going anywhere...nychitman quit supporting DU, so I'm looking into taking over in the near future...my computers still screwed til I get another hard drive put in it

Here you go man,I only hope GPE is a choice in aroma.
This is what found

I wonder if cid matters than ? I appreciate it, as it sits my mid is 0PB6B12000..Ill switch to whatever GPE MID is needed

Yes cid matters
So do you think superCID matters. From what I understand it doesn't because of being able to flash any ROM neantvfor any HTC m8 (as long as its GSM)

Yes but what I've read 5.0 will check for everything. It's not worth the risk if you ask me.
To make 100% sure everything goes right just change everything to match.
Like I said all I have to do is flash stock recovery and except the OTA

Okay, so I ordered a USED Thunderbolt on ebay last week and it should be here tomorrow. I'm not entirely new to rooting and such as I have a droid 2 global now, but that's motorola which seems to be fairly different from HTC. Anyway I've been reading threads and have come up with a few questions.
For instance if my phone is rooted when I get it, how can I get back to stock. I won't know how it was rooted, and some guides say it matters, while others don't. Plus many guides say not to just flash an RUU over a rooted phone, but if it replaces the bootloader, radio, and system, why not. Isn't that basically like an SBF on a motorola phone? Can I then also do a data wipe from the hboot bootloader thing on my phone and end up with a perfect stock device without any risk? From what I understand some roots block this entirely on the phone though so maybe I can't. I'm not really sure how to know what is safe to do on a phone that I didn't previously own and would love a guide to how to check these things and what to do so I don't brick the phone.
Also I can't seem to find a functional link to any of the latest radios, does anyone have a working link, and do people recommend the leaked radio from the most recent leaked build, or an official radio? and if so what radio is official? the one ending in 906 seems to be the most recent that I think is official but I'm not sure, though I am almost certain the 916 one isn't official, it appears to have been released in january on rootzwiki, while the most recent leaked build was less than a week ago from what I understand, but I don't know if it has a new radio or not.
Aside from that I think I've got it all down. figure out how to get phone to most recent stock OTA update. get 4g lte sim card, activate, root using this method.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20864-tool-root-2116059-and-19-no-downgrade-or-data-wipe/
then if I don't have the most recent radio I can flash it in the hboot thing, and can use cwm to flash any rom I want and a recommended kernel (I'm thinking thundershed 1.5 for starters though wouldn't mind some recommendations. I love Cyanogenmod)
Does this sound about right?
Also I'm not sure how hboot on htc phones works aside from booting on power+vol down button, but does the hboot allow for clearing data and cache as well as flashing things? On my droid 2 global there is a bootloader than can only be used to flash sbf files to get back to stock ota, and then there is a motorola stock recovery on the phone that is used for flashing updated ota updates that are signed or wiping data/cache. Are these the same on htc or are there a 2 different ones on that phone as well? I do understand that no PC is required for the htc as the tool to flash an ruu is built into the phone even if it is an older one than what the phone is currently on right?
Hi All,
So need some help. I have an ATT m8 that I did a GPE conversation following the tutorial at
http://sakitechonline.com/fully-convert-your-htc-one-m8-to-google-play-edition-w-ota-updates/
as well as a youtube video.
So there's a section about CID's and in the tutorial link, it says if my CID matches one of the ones listed, I can skip down to step #6 and install the GPE (which it did match, so I didn't change my CID to GOOGL001.) My question is, will I have issues with future OTA's? If so, do I have to start from scratch to change my CID, or can I do it as my phone currently sits right now? Also, if I do it as my phone currently sits, will it wipe my phone? Lastly, how do I go about changing my CID at this time? I know there are a few tutorials out there, but I'm not sure if I can follow them since most of the instructions to change CID's are midway through a tutorial and I'm already converted. I just don't want to brick my phone, and I've had bad luck and what not.
Any help would be great as I'm now using this phone as my primary and I don't wan't to have issues when android L finally decides to roll out. Thank you in advance!

So I ended up changing my CID to GOOGL001 from CWW__1 (or something). Is there any "prep" work I need to do to my phone besides having S-OFF before changing my CID so as not to brick it later or have issues with OTA's? Again, just don't want issues down the line that I may not foresee and wasn't sure if I can just freely change my CID without doing anything beforehand.

Dude, fire is going to rain down from the skies onto your phone. JK, if I remember correctly, the only thing I did was make sure that I had the GPE recovery installed and relock bootloader and got OTA's just fine. I am thinking about playing with the GPE again too.

haha,, i wouldn't be surprised if my phone spontaneously combusted. Hmm, I haven't read anything about relocating the boot loader to make it work with OTA's. I only remember the CID thing. Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.

That's because its not correct. You don't need to relock the bootloader to get or install OTAs. You do need stock recovery, and all system files need to be intact (if any are modified/deleted/frozen by root, they need to be restored to stock condition).

Sounds like I'm good to go now. I used the Stock Non-Rooted 4.4.4 2.12.1700.1 RUU Zip. Thanks for the heads up!
I have a Rezound that is not active. It just gets used around the house on wifi for checking email, facebook, and to control the wifi thermostat. I would like to get the latest OTA but cannot do it from the phone as it does not have an active sim. I don't really want to root the phone. I did the PH98IMG zip method to get 4.03.605.2 but it seams a little slow and it is my understanding that there is a new version of 4.05 or perhaps newer OTA... Does anyone have a link to a zip of the OTA that I can download?
Thanks for the help!

Well, your in a bad spot actually... 4.3.605.2 does not have an upgrade path at all, there is no OTA from it, or to it for that matter... it was an unofficial leaked firmware that is not supported in the standard software streams. Even if it was active on Verizon, it would never see an upgrade... ever.
You have 3 choices here:
1) S-OFF the device and get back to an official software build and manually OTA up (See the instructions for Full Downgrade/Upgrade here)
2) Assuming you are already Hboot unlocked, flash a custom ROM or a stock-ish ROM, there is a pre-rooted 4.5.605.14 ROM in the dev section
3) Stick with what you got, to be honest the ROM you have is pretty stable.

Thanks for taking the time to reply but I am not sure what you are referring to by "s-off" or hboot unlocked"
Can you point me in the right direction to learn a little more?
Thanks!
Hboot unlock is a process which is done via htcdev.com, it unlocks the phone to allow custom ROMs and recovery... Go to their site for more details or check out any of several YouTube videos.
S-Off is a means of turning off all security checks in the device, such as flashing an older RUU to downgrade. It is accomplished after Hboot unlock with a tool like RumRunner, check out rumrunner.us for more info.
If you are completely unfamiliar with unlocking, rooting, romming, or that kind of stuff, Google can be your friend here to learn the ins and outs, plus the sticky threads in the Rezound sections here.
How to upgrade ATT HTC ONE M7 without losing root
Hello all, I have an AT&T HTC ONE M7 that is currently running Android 4.4.2 with HTC Sense 6.0 (software # 5.03.651.3). I have rooted it with TWRP and SuperSU and need some guidance to update my phone without losing the root (or unroot/upgrade/re-root). Can't seem to find anything. I want to stick with the factory ROM ideally, but would be happy to take a look at any other that is comparable. Not looking for added capability, just want to get my phone up to date.
Thanks in advance!!
Signaldog
I'm not an expert on these things, so hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't software # x.xx.651.x for Sprint devices? The AT&T factory software is x.xx.502.x. So either you don't have an AT&T version of the M7 or you're not running the factory ROM. It's definitely not the AT&T factory ROM.
But to answer you question, since you're already rooted with a custom recovery, there probably has been enough changes to the system that will prevent the OTA's from installing, even if you reflash stock recovery. And if you are in fact running the Sprint ROM while on the AT&T network, you probably wouldn't get the OTA's anyway. So in order to get the latest updates you'll need to flash a ROM clean. Since you want to stay factory stock, that means the RUU, which you can download directly from HTC. You'd definitely want to confirm which variant of the M7 you have and make sure you get the right RUU. Pretty sure the AT&T RUU won't flash to a Sprint branded device unless you're S-Off w/ Super CID. And there may be some other incompatibilities in this situation. You may want to look into custom roms at this point.
However, once the RUU is complete and the clean ROM is up and running, it's a simple process of flashing TWRP and installing SuperSU to root.
You'll then need to spend time setting up all your apps and customizing everything to your liking, so make sure to set aside a block of time to do that. And be sure to backup any personal files onto your computer before running the RUU. It will wipe the sdcard.
So, yes, as it turns out, my brain was not working correctly and I do indeed have a SPRINT M7, not an AT&T one. I'm not sure why I confused that. Regardless, thanks for the help, sounds like I can do what I need to do without any significant risks, minus the time involved.
Thanks.
I would like to know how to return to stock LOCKED and S-ON the Verizon HTC One max (HTC6600LVW) Android version 4.4.2, HTC Sense 6.0, since I couldn't figure out how to update it or anything. I found some instructions but got so lost.
I am SO confused on what to do. I originally wanted to update to Lollipop, but got confused. So, I'm stuck with a phone that goes blank at times and messes up (I've even gotten the red ! in a red triangle on a black screen. I don't even know how I got it to boot up again.
I was told to use (and did) Sunshine and then downloaded SuperSU from Google Store (per very detailed instructions and was told to not choose TWRP when the question popped up to choose one or the other). After that, I was pretty much on my own since I couldn't figure out "candy.." something.
I had downloaded the unlocked version of Lollipop ROM from HTC but it would stop each time because of the VZN model number. After that, I downloaded a couple of programs and .img files that it was overwhelming (and couldn't find any RUU (?) files).
Can someone direct me with detailed instructions or show me how to fix it or just send it back stock? I know nothing about flashing. I’m a SUPER NOOBIE. I will probably need someone very patient and can hold my hand, so to speak. Thank you in advance!!!!
