Hello!
I recently bought a HTC One m8 used. Sadly i did not check up on the Software and it was pre-rooted and had some older version of Viper Rom on it (2.7 i think). It was also s-on and had that bug (i believe it was a TWRP one) so it would not show me the CID nor the current version it was on. So my thought was that id like to initially get to the point where i would recieve OTA Updates again so i could update the base system to install any ROM id like. After doing research for hours and trying various stuff it seemed i could not get back to stock without the CID. So what i initially did then was use Method 2 described in this thread to Upgrade the Firmware which is now 3.28.401.9. I then change the CID to the google OTA Update one and installed the Google Play Edition Rom. The ROM was kinda buggy and did not work properly tho (i assume its still an issue that the underlying Firmware is not up-to-date enough) so i went back, changed the CID to HTC__001 and installed the stock 3.28.401.9 Rom + Recovery hoping the OTA Updates would come. It has not yet happened and i am not sure it will.
So here is my question: Will OTA Updates come if my initial CID does not match the CID i currently have even if i set it with fastboot? Is there a way for me to figure out my initial CID at this point? All i really want are working OTA Updates, after that i can install any ROM anyway, but this seems to elude me.
Thanks you!
Best Regards

I'm trying to update the baseband on my phone, however whenever I flash the firmware nothing happens. The phone start, but the baseband is the same 1.16.
I have an international phone, I think. I live in Canada.
This is a Rogers phone.
Running custom rom ARHD 11.1
S-OFF
The CID is ROGER001
And the HID is 0P6B16000
baseband 1.16
buildnumber 2.22.401.5
I've tried downloading the 2.22.401.5 firmware from VomerGuides, I updated the phone, but no change. I would really like help with this. Am I using the wrong update? I don't know what the latest update is anyways, but 2.22 seams like that's the one, so why is my baseband not updating?

CID : ROGER001
Update your Phone(Rogers) to the latest firmware first then update to the latest ARHD.
Firmware for your device and instructions on how to flash it can be found In this post by ckpv5
Note: It's the same post from ckpv5 that I got the backups from for the Rogers.
Thank you for your help. Do I follow all his steps from 1. Or just the firmware part? Since my phone is S-off and unlocked, or what ever it was, if I do everything from 1 will that brick my phone? Or will it be safe?
EDIT:
I followed all the instructions in the end. Ended up losing root. I had to unlock bootloader and get root back. so far, the phone is back up and running. Thank you for your help.

If you really followed the instructions correctly ... there is no instruction that say you need to relock bootloader :silly:
I'm very new to this, but SuperSU stopped working, it told me I lost root, and recovery (TWRP) was totally gone, at the time I did not know how to get that back ether, only after... Anyways, it was a good learning experience, I'm more glad the phone did not get bricked. Anyways thank you very much for your help.
EDIT:
How or where do you go to find out what the latest firmware is? I've tried looking everywhere, and if BerndM14 didn't point out your thread, I would have never found it.

[Discussion] HTC One M8 - Updates Can get some info about updates etc in that thread. Post 3 has a collection of OTA.zips but it's still a work in progress. You'll notice that the Rogers, Telus etc isn't on there, but it'll get there eventually. You can also just hop from that thread from time to time for general info about updates, firmware or otherwise.

Some threads for Canadian users.
Another thread, even though it's actually for backups, a lot of people head over there for stock recoveries when new updates come out, so it's a nice one to get "on top" of news if you missed it in one of the other threads.

Thank you very much for pointing me to those threads. Time to figure out what some of there are used for...
Hello fellas
This is simply: I'm S-OFF. I have the M8 with CID Telus, and just recently updated to 4.4.3 via OTA. Total stock, no modifications.
If I change my CID from TELUS001 to superCID 11111111 and if I get the 4.4.4 OTA update. I will get a modifications in the system or anything?
Take care fellas :good:

Once you go SuperCID, you won't need Telus's OTA for 4.4.4, you can just flash a stock 4.4.4 ROM from here.
All that Telus's official update will give you that's different is the bloatware apps that they have. And if you really want them, you can get them on the Play Store.
Personally, the first thing I do is remove the bloatware when I get a new device.
EDIT: I am also on Telus. The best thing about SuperCID is that you don't need to pay Telus to unlock your phone to use on another carrier. SuperCID will make it usable on any GSM network.
My phone was bought as free. No carrier apps, no modificationes, 100% original with 4.4.2 HTC sense 6.0
I don't want to flash update via usb. Just update via OTA. For security reasons (for me, personally)
Just one question. If I change to supercid. How can I get 4.4.4 OTA from, example, the international carrier or from HTC for no personalization from carriers.
Thank you.

You won't get an OTA. Your phone is unbranded with supercid. And you don't need to flash via USB, just download the stock ROM on your phone, enter recovery, and click "install". (after a nandroid backup, of course)
I've had 4.4.4 now for about a week.
Ok, I've get rid off
There is a method to get OTA 4.4.4? I want that my device install the update for me.
No 1.5+GB downloading roms, cuz my internet is like a nuts pain downloading big files )

You can't OTA the ROM, but a lot of ROMs (ViperOne at least) do OTAs for updates after you have them installed. The updates are usually around 150 to 180mb. Download it when you go to bed, and flash it in the morning (or later)
You are vey helpful for me and my trouble. I do thank you.

No problem. And I linked you to stock firmware on the other thread. Take care buddy.
My Phone was CID VODAP102 branded, I updated to 3.29.161.5 Android 4.4.4, went fine.
Now I am S-Off and rooted, changed to SuperCID, and wanted to flash the European unbranded OTA 3.28.401.6.
Is that possible? The Version number is lower, so I am afraid it causes trouble.
Would that wipe anything?
Hey everyone,
I first want to say thanks for all the instructions here on this one, it's been a lot of searching, but got through getting my phone boot unlocked, TWRP installed, rooted, and finally through Venom, S-OFF.
I bought an M9 from eGlobal Central which landed me a HK phone and Asia ROM. It's also meant that with the subsequent upgrade to the 1.4 firmware package the battery has gone from terrible to paper weight.
I've got Venom on there for the moment (That got me through Sunshine) and I'm looking either at a stock Dev edition or WWE ROM (To get up to a >2.8 firmware), however, I'm wondering where to go now in regards to WWE or Dev. Errr... OK, just correct me where I'm wrong here:
I'll need a firmware package that matches the ROM.
I'm guessing I'll need a complete RUU, but for European Dev perhaps? What's the CID for that?
Actually is there any difference at all in the radio software between the different firmware releases and capabilities?
What is the current Android version in WWE that's available? (And what firmware more to the point, I just want off 1.4)
I've seen Dev is now on Android 5.1 and 2.8 firmware (And I'm guessing this has been patched higher again)
I assume that Dev has a faster release schedule than WWE?
I basically want to get myself back to the point where I'm getting OTA updates, but my phone lasts a day instead of a couple of hours (I should've bought another M8).
I'm sure that this has been done before, but hours of Google searches has left me well, slightly less in the dark, but the light at the end of the tunnel could be an oncoming train, so, thought I'd just ask.
Thanks for all your help,
Berny
You're s-off so just go supercid and you can flash the latest 2.10 firmware. Forget OTAs because you can't get them unless you're 100% stock, and the back and forth required to do it is far more trouble than its worth IMO.
Can't speak for everyone but battery life on 2.x has been fine.

Exactly...also this is what i did, I had same issue as you and I followed this steps to do it:
DevCID BS_US001
DevMID 0PJA11000 (Dev)
Installed Dev 2.8.617.4 by SDCARD Method Ruu ZIP File
Installed TWRP 2.7.8.1b again.
SuperCID 11111111 (WWE)
Placed BACKUP 2.8.617.4
Flashed WWE FW 2.10.401.1
Flashed any Custom ROm.
Im on the same version of Android since i got the phone, the bootloader is unlocked with S-ON and it has been working fine since i got it. I heard 5.1 had been released, is there a H3G RUU for the new version or can i use the Europeon one.. my CID Num is H3G__001.
Because i am rooted it says it cant check for updates, can anyone tell me what i can do?
I thought about restoring the original software RUU and then updating, but what if my service provider hasnt released the update, unless their is another H3G M9 user on the forum who can tell me different.
Thanks.

Your best bet is to S-OFF, then Super CID. After you have done that just restore the newest WWE RUU. That way you're on the latest version and can continue to receive any new updates a lot sooner - none of that waiting for the network to release the update. Especially with marshmallow round the corner.

Are their any other ways of doing it without S-Off?
Thanks

Other than the way you stated not really. If you don't want to go S-OFF then you'll need to restore stock and update, then root again.
Hey there buddy.
What the chance you backed up your stock H3G recovery.
I flashed TWRP and forgot to take a backup, now can't flash the update.
I posted in this forum asking in anyone had the UK H3G stock recovery but no answers.
Cheers.

Hello XDA :x
I know the thread title is very vague but i had no clue what to put there, sorry about that :x
I'm terrible at talking, but I hope you guys understand what I'm saying /:
A week ago, I downloaded the latest snapshot of CM12.1, with intentions of using it instead of stock htc rom.
(The CM download is not very relevant to my problem but I thought I should give a background to how I arrived to my current situation)
So I flashed latest TWRP, ***<foolishly forgot to make a nandroid backup>*** and tried flashing CM12.1 snapshot and it didnt work. I tried other CM variants, and MaximusHD but nothing worked. So I just sat there with no OS.
Luckily (not really), I had a nandroid backup from a month or two ago because I used to frequently flash ROMs. The nandroid backup was 4.16.401.10, and my current OS (before trying to install - and according to my bootloader) is 4.16.401.13
I had no choice but to restore the previous version, which is Lollipop 5.0.1 without stagefright update.
Things became confusing... my OS version according to Software Information is 4.16.401.10, and the OS on bootloader still was .13
I've attempted all of the following:
1) OTA through phone itself: It downloads the update, then says the files are corrupt (no matter how many times I try)
2) This one is too obvious, but i tried it anyway -> the official RUU of .10 didnt work
3) Flashing firmware.zip from the .13 update using RUU feature in fastboot
Nothing has worked. I'm still .13 on bootloader, and .10 while the phone is on. And the software status is modified.
Please help me get my actual OS back to .13, things are getting really frustrating

Unlocked
S-ON (currently cant afford S-OFF)

Stop worrying so much about that stagefright patch. They did put out a patch but didn't solve it exactly with that patch.
Just stay on .10 and wait a bit longer for newer updates. You are not missing much to nothing at all !

Im not worried about the patch, its just that I might be selling my phone soon and if I do, the guy isnt exactly familiar with ROMs and the bootloader; and I dont wanna be a jerk haha.
Also, aren't updates incremental? Like, step-by-step as in you go from .10 to .13, you cant jump over an update?
Also,thanks for replying
Well you can get a stock .13 backup here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3086860
Restore that one and flash back the stock recovery also. Then it's stock as the backup has never been rooted before.
