[Q] Can't update OTA after going back to fully stock - T-Mobile HTC One (M8)

Hello everyone. I am having trouble trying to do a OTA update. I did all the step correct steps on installing recovery stock and re-locked the bootloader, I am also fully unrooted the device as well. Can someone please HELP or point me in the right direction to get this resolved? I have been trying to figure this out for a few weeks .
This is the message I get when I try and do the update.

Can you point me in the direction of that RUU post, I am fairly new to that and would like to understand it more. Also is there link to a dummies guild to RUU beginners installing? Thank you so much for your time.

Sure. All the information you need is in the op comments.

Awesome! Thank you for your help! I will post a status on the progress before the end of today.

*UPDATE*
I got everything running smooth and fast again with the RUU software. Now all I need to know is if I re-root again will it keep the update after I unlock the bootloader again?

Yes. After you apply the update it is part of your phone. You can root etc without any issues.

Just reading this... I kinda had a similar problem. I got the OTA to install, but then lost root and couldn't use Scotty's method to unlock the bootloader...so I had to use the HTC .bin file. That reset the whole phone. And now...for whatever reason, things are all screwed up.
When I boot/reboot, it comes up presumably on the TMO network, but then it tries to switch to Wi-Fi calling... It finally does, but then it says I have no data service (i.e., from the TMO network...Wi-Fi seems to work). Then I went into the "My T-Mobile" app and stupidly agreed to let them collect diagnostics... Besides informing them that my phone is rooted (which I would just prefer they not know), now that app is acting strange...from the log it seems to be trying to run the "diagnostic" but being denied due to inadequate privileges. And when I try and revoke their right to collect diagnostics it tells me to "insert SIM".
I can't tell if it is everything I did, or if there is perhaps something wrong with this latest update... Everything was working beautifully on 2.22.531.5.

Whenever I lose root like that, I run the Sunshine apk and let it do a temp root for me. You can bail out of Sunshine right after it does the temp root. You don't even need to have paid for Sunshine to use this method (of course you need to pay for Sunshine to achieve S-Off).

I have s-off. Can I use temp root to just install the Harmon kardon hack? I'm back to stock recovery.

[Q] Wildchild Issues, please help a new user

Dear everyone,
My phone is a device originally from Bell Canada. The specs are
Marvel PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.90.0000
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.46.36.14M
Apr 8 2011, 17:45:10
Android v. 2.3.3
Software number: 1.36.666.5
Model: PG7611000
I was tempted to try the legendary Wildchild but couldn't reboot it to recovery mode with a properly prepared sd card.
Then I thought perhaps I still needed to unlock the bootloader. I went to the htcdev site and followed the steps.
I chose the right version RUU for the Bell 1.36.666.5 but an error notice said model ID was wrong.
I also tried to get the token ID. it failed for sure "Command error" so can't get the Token ID
When I tried the Wildfire_S_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0. The same thing happened: "Command error"!
Yes, the HTC SYNC was uninstalled. The debugging was on.
I didn't want to bother others until I had tried everything I could think of.
With no knowledge on android, I have spent 10 hours struggling with different approaches found online. Need some help now.
What procedure should I follow for my phone if I want to use Wildchild?
Thank you!

Thank you so much, Sir.
I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533639 here and applied that recovery file but nothing happened. I still get the wrong model ID message. Then I rebooted the phone and found out the HBOOT was not changed.
So far there seemed to me two solutions on the forum.
One is to update the HBOOT to an unlockable higher version then update the RUU and get it unlocked again. Or do some trick with something like ROM 1, which I have no idea how to get access to.
Extract the rom1.zip from the RUU, copy it to the root of the phone micro-sd card, rename it as PG76IMG and turn off the phone. Pull the battery out and reinsert it. Hold the volume down key and press the power on. It should boot into the bootloader. Then it will ask if you would like to update radiov2, choose yes and after reboot, you should be s-off...

Oh... I think I make a mistake. That's for s-off only. For flashing the wildchild ROM, you need to install a recovery other than the stock recovery (e.g. CWM recovery). And then root your device. Then you could install the ROM from the CWM recovery.

I got the WC3 on my phone with ROM 2 and ROM 1 -tried both but the "unlocked" pink line is now above the specs. I tried the RUU program. It says "model ID error" again... WC works now but how can i "unlock" it? btw, the phone is still s-off but locked.
I think because it is "unlocked" so LinkSD doesn't work. It says ext2 may not be supported by your device. Try FAT32". What is wrong? I followed the WC3 instruction created by the developer - 1 FAT, 1 EXT2 and 1 SWAP. Another problem I have is after move 1 apps to the SD card. It is full. I have a 4 G card with 1.2 FAT32, 512 Swap and the rest is EXT2.

[Q] Stuck DesireHD, can still get HBOOT, OrangeUK, help! (Noobishness within)

Hi all,
After scouring the intertubes for 2 days, I've had to give in and beg for wisdom on this one.
Recently inherited a Desire HD from my wife, factory-reset but loaded with Orange crapware, so I thought I'd crack on and root straight away.
Went for it with the AAHK kit, however it hung at the white screen after restarting, and have had no life out of it ever since. I can still access the HBOOT screen and Bootloader, from which I managed to query the device infor, CID etc, see attached file. HBOOT info is:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45
I've tried to get the firmware up and running again with various RUU's, with and without the goldcard I've made, and am now at a loss! The RUU will initially look to be working, get some way into the progress bar before returning the error message - 'The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.'
As the device can switch on, it's clearly not a brick, just incredibly stuck!
Can anyone help me get this going again, ideally unbranded and rooted?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, the phone is still s-on.
Did you try to run aahk again on the phone?
What system did you use to run aahk on? Maybe try the method with the ubuntu boot cd to rule out any problems with the host computer.
Since the phone is still S-ON you can only install signed images. But the RUU ones should work.
Did you also try to copy the RUU to the SD-Card (adb push "RUU-File" /sdcard/PD98IMG.zip) and boot into hboot?

I did try to rerun AAHK, all it did was give me a connection error message.
I presume pushing the RUU to the SD card is the same as copying it and renaming the file? I've literally zero experience of the terminal ocmmands involved.

[Q] rumrunner / s-off without a working OS

It's been awhile since I've messed around with Android bootloaders, but my buddy just came to me with a seemingly fried HTC One that has been stock since it was purchased. I'm trying to help him out.
We can get to the bootloader, but that is it. No OS will load, and the factory reset option does nothing. I read up on unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev, but as I'm sure you're all aware, that no longer works (MID Error 160) due to Verizon patching the exploit.
I discovered the following XDA development thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473644 , but I am not allowed to post on that thread because I don't have enough posts!
It's a little bit over my head, as I'm not familiar with the rumrunner / s-off process. However, it seems that I will need to follow those steps if I want to unlock the bootloader with the hope of flashing a ROM and resurrecting the phone.
My question is this: with the current state of this phone not being able to load any OS / ROM, and having a locked bootloader, is there any possibility I can unlock the bootloader and get a ROM flashed? Is it possible I'm overthinking this? Is there a way to simply flash the stock ROM again since that is seemingly nowhere to be found? Or is this phone simply bricked? Since I can get to the bootloader, I would imagine there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks for any help you guys can give. If someone wants to offer their assistance to me directly and take the issue off the message boards, I'll gladly PayPal you 20 USD if you have a solution!
Hope everyone is having a Happy New Year.
Just to clarify, the bootloader is locked and I have S-ON.
It seems I am in a bind, because I cannot flash any stock ROM or recovery with a locked bootloader. And I cannot unlock my bootloader because Verizon has blocked the standard exploit using HTCDev.
Hey buddy, what you need is a signed ruu which is the factory version of the os that comes with the phone. The signed part means that you can flash it with locked bootloader. Here Ya go

Thanks so much for your reply. I've got the HTC drivers and the Android SDK loaded, and I used the fastboot tool when trying to unlock the boot loader using HTCDev.
Just to clarify, am I simply looking to download the signed RUU at the bottom of the second paper in that thread? Then flash it? Is that all? A lot of the other instructions in that thread seem irrelevant to my situation. If you could just point me in the right direction as to what I need to do with that RUU file, I'd appreciate it.

If you took the 4.3 update you will need the 4.3 ruu which I haven't seen yet....so if locked and s-on you are screwed. Now depending on how far they took the flashing and since you say its a sprint phone you might be able to HTC Dev unlock and at least get something booted until s-off is achieved on 4.3.

Tried firewater and can't unlock boot loader.

I ran firewater and it started off at 1 bottle something... It then stopped and said something about my boot loader being patched??? So does that mean I can't unlock my phone? I have the T-Mobile HTC one m8 version.
I have a computer that runs Windows 8.1 if that's any use or help.

Its not clear whether you understand the difference between bootloader unlock and S-off. S-off isn't needed to unlock the bootloader, root, flash ROMs, etc.

Then your title is confusing. To me, it means you are having issues unlocking the bootloader.
Make sure you are on stock ROM, stock kernel, and some say even stock recovery. If firewater still doesn't work, you will need to use sunshine.
FYI, stock ROM and kernel are recommended for sunshine, as well.
Thanks for everyone who tried to help. I tried firewater again and again and got s-off and super cid finally. Just guess luck was on my side.

[Q] HTC one M8 OTA update issue lollipop

Hello all,
I am new to all this, techy stuff, and have recently bought a htc one m8. I had it rooted for me, but I didn't want to pay for GPE. I then found out Lollipop has been released, and tried to get it by going into software info on settings, but I couldn't get the lollipop update, as my phone says 'Your phone software is up to date with the latest version'. I realised that because of my root, my phone wasn't on the same channel as it was on before. I found another way to get lollipop, but that meant buying sunshine for $25. Is there another free alternative? I thought I could unroot my phone, then reroot it, but I do not know how to unroot, get update then reroot. Can I please get help?
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist, in order to help you effectively I need to know which variant of the M8 you have please.
I have the gsm version
Ok, so it's not carrier branded at all?
no its not.
Going back to my question, i have actually found out my fone is on s-off bcus i had to unlock bootloader to root, meanin my fone is rooted with s-off. However, i would like to get gpe on my fone so i can get lollipop. Only issue is, the other methods do it on a normal htc one m8, not on a rooted htc one m8. Are the nethods the same meaning i can use the normal gpe conversion methods on my prerooted htc one m8, or do i need another method?
Thanks for the extra information, I'm actually asking you these questions for a reason, XDA Assist isn't a general technical support section so I needed to know exactly which variant you have in order to have this thread redirected correctly for you.

no its not.
Going back to my question, i have actually found out my fone is on s-off bcus i had to unlock bootloader to root, meanin my fone is rooted with s-off. However, i would like to get gpe on my fone so i can get lollipop. Only issue is, the other methods do it on a normal htc one m8, not on a rooted htc one m8. Are the nethods the same meaning i can use the normal gpe conversion methods on my prerooted htc one m8, or do i need another method?

Unlocking your bootloader doesn't make you S-Off. Boot into your bootloader to check.
To get into bootloader, turn off your phone. Then hold down the power button plus vol down till your phone boots back up. You'll get a readout there that will tell you if you are S-Off or S-On.
If you can confirm that you are S-Off, I will guide you to converting your phone to GPE.

Thank you for telling me. I am not on s-off, i am on s-off.i know that firewater has been discontinued, so I have found a free alternative, moonshine. Please guide me through how to gain s-off for free.

You can't use moonshine. The ONLY way to get s-off on this device is sunshine.
Yes, Sunshine, V3. And you are better off without the 5.0, if you want to S-OFF. Sunshine will most likely work on 4.4.4, and issues will appear while trying to S-OFF the Lollipop.

yeah delete all superuser binaries, or return to your original stock backup that you made before messing around with root :laugh:
I have got my phone on bootloader, and I have a custom recovery file. However, I cannot seem to enter recovery mode. As I go to 'HBOOT' then 'RECOVERY' it shows the htc screen, but then it loads back to the bootloader screen. I have tried getting Hasoon's Toolkit and going into bootloader from here, and I have also tried getting a bat file and running that on my pc with my phone connected to it, same result. However, before this problem occurred, I had a message pop up, but this happened only once. This is what the message said:
SD Checking…
No Gift File…
Loading … ( OP6BDIAG.zip)
No image!
Loading … ( OP6BDIAG.nbh)
No image or wrong image!
Loading … ( OP6BIMG.zip)
Loading … ( OP6BIMG.nbh)
No image or wrong image!
After this, when I tried to go into recovery, the issue had then first occurred. Any suggestions on what to do? I have tried using a toolkit, a bat file, doing it through bootloader, and getting an app. Also, how can I clear my cache through bootloader?
Fastboot erase cache

No need to unroot for OTA. And it's free anyhow.
Ok. You say no need to unroot for its, but I have my phone rooted, but I cannot get lollipop which was released 3 weeks ago on HTC one m8. Please help me so I can get OTA updates.

You need a stock rom and recovery. So either 1 or both are not stock. Go to the thread where you have been already (the stock backup thread in the general section) and read up in there. All info and what you need to do is written down there.
Edit :
Ah just not getting notified for the update ? Like been said, wait for them to push. Or there is a custom (stock like) rom on your phone. If thats the case my first part stands
Which thread? Please send a link?
