Hi guys, I've been following a few guides on how to convert my AT&T HTC One M8 into the developer edition.
I've unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted it, but can't S-off (b/c firewater no longer exists).
Before I take the plunge and buy sunshine, I want to ask: Do I absolutely need s-off to convert it to the dev. edition? I mostly just want OTA updates direct from HTC.
Thanks!
Yes S-OFF is needed to change your "cid" and "mid" so you can except the updates. Although I believe At&t mid is the same as Dev edition.

Good to know, thanks. How can I verify that my CID actually changed? I didn't see it written in the fast boot menu or elsewhere. Also, I read that getting s-off should get rid of the "tampered" marker from my phone. Is that true?
Fastboot oem readcid
,S-OFF will allow you to flash the no tampered flag zip for sure
See the second line of green lettering "CID" *******
I jus converted my AT&T HTC M8 to Developer Edition last night.
I was unlocked Bootloader via HTC Dev website and rooted. I went to root ninja website download the sunshine app installed ran payed the $25 and phone rebooted s-off.
Then I put phone in fastboot usb mode then rewrite my Cid to 111111. Then I downloaded the Developer Edition RUU and connected phone to pc and ran the RUU and once it rebooted I was fully converted to Developer Edition M8.

Then I rebooted into fastboot mode and flashed TWRP Recovery back then rebooted into recovery and flashed superSU update then booted phone and went to Google Play and download superSU app and that's it.

The best thing I noticed about the Developer Edition is no more write pertection to system. So no more worries about having wp_module

First thing you need to do is get S-Off. Then go here to change your CID http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536

I installed RUU_Flyer_HC_S_HTC_WWE_3.55.405.1_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M_release_226690_signed
I have Revlutionary and S-OFF - After running RUU and updating, it hangs/gets stuck at the white screen with HTC logo (just before it would play startup tone and say quietly different).
I rebooted into bootloader, and chose fastboot, and reverted to RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed.
Any ideas why I can't boot with 3.55.405.1 ?
It's a 3G unbranded Flyer.
My guess is because your hboot was s off it can not be over wroteby ruu flash. So you had conflicting hboot and sysytem. If on gb get s off then follow globatron thread in development for s off hc

Yes, that's what it is. HC and GB hboots are not inter-changable and revolutionary hboot protects itself from being overwritten so you ended up with a (partial) HC rom and a GB hboot.
Great thanks for the quick replies! So - what is best course of action?
1) Regain S-ON somehow and then flash RUU 3.55 or,
2) Forget about stock ROM and install Globatron ROM ?
Globatron's method is stock rooted s off. Best option

Followed globatron guide - did a two pass install using sd card method. HC installed, works like a bomb thanks again!
I have BB Flyer and was rooted, s-off, with FlyHoney Rom. Accidentaly tried to install a non GB ROM over this and now I can't get anything to work. Will this globatron method work for me as well?
How are you S-OFF on honeycomb if you didn't use my method already?
My appologies - I'm Unlocked with S-on.
I did use your method to get Unlocked
Honestly if you're going to run custom roms, downgrade and use the S-OFF HC procedure to upgrade. If you for some reason don't want to do that then every time you change roms you will need to fastboot flash the boot image.
I've been tryng for the past 2 hours to download my original RUU with no success. Filefactory keeps saying the file can't be downloaded at this time.....
Just to get something running, how do I "fastboot flash the boot image"
sorry for the noob question....
steps 6 and 10, http://android.modaco.com/topic/345...g-honeycomb-on-your-flyer-the-complete-guide/
I will give it a try.
Thanks for all your work and help.

I'm confused....
6 is downloading the hboot - 10 is fastboot flashing the boot image. Is this correct?
---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------
should I just follow all of your steps again? Will that hurt anything?
Sorry, my mistake 4 and 10.

The best thing you can do since you want custom roms anyway is download the GB rom for your region. (re)Lock the bootloader and run the RUU to downgrade, then follow my guide to upgrade.
As soon as I can get a good download of my RUU I will downgrade and follow your steps for S-off. Still having problems with FileFactory and the one I had downloaded before was not complete for some reason (it was only 12 MB)
What RUU do you need?
up and running again...thanks again globatron!
need RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_2.27.1540.31_R_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204116_signed.exe
I don't have the EXE version, but the zip version is here:

Unfortunately ive done it before and still nothing helps...
It's maybe because my cid? I get htc__001
Just wanted to to let all the people who are flashing there EVO 3D to boost and you do the Juopunutbear S-OFF method you will i repeat YOU WILL HAVE TO REFLASH IT TO BOOST MOBILE ask me how i know so dont do it if you can not flash it by yourself thanks for looking any questions just ask.
Yeah I experienced that when I did it Probably because it writes over your HBOOT, not 100% sure why it undoes the flash though, luckily I had flashed it myself anyway so it wasn't difficult to flash back. Funny enough one of the reasons I didn't do the downgrade to 1.4 method was because I didn't want to have to flash again
whats boost?
Boost Mobile, several people flash phones to Boost Mobile rather than using Sprint www.boostmobile.com
Have any of you installed the bootloader they offer after unlocking the bootloader?
If so, are you having issues with 3G?
I did and it Hands Free Activates and then 3G looks like its good, and then drops out comes back and then drops out entirely.

I don't think the bootloadr has anything to do with your issue.

Just backup your carrier settings! I wrote a tutorial on how to do it using QPST and QXDM. There's a link to it in closeone's HBOOT downgrader tool thread located stickied in the cdma dev section.
Hope this helps!

The problem not solved... just got the bootloader to LOCKED , however the S is off
I've tried to format the SD card still not working
Hi
I just got my EVO 3D GSM Shooter_U. Sorry about my bad english.
I was trying to root it. Now, not only I'm stuck with boot looping but I can not flash custom roms anymore. So I try to reset factory settings but I was too late to s-off and also the stock rom has been wiped.
then I flashed cmw recovery and try flashing many rooted stock roms but it didn't work. ( I even tried flashing Boot.img via fastboot as my mob is s-on )
Now my situation is like neither flashing custom roms nor going back to stock.
so Is there any way to recover it ? help me please.
Hboot 1.53.007
Unlocked (htcdev)
S-On
I would suggest running an RUU
