On demo mode - need stock TWRP backup - One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi together.
i got my m9 rooted and deleted all demo.apk but im unable to enter security settings or perform a factory reset from system.. and there are many demo contacts and entries in calendar :silly:
can anyone share his (rooted/non rooted) twrp backup with me? im on 1.32.401.6 CID HTC_002
thanx for helping..

Copy and paste job......
I get demo devices through my employer, every single HTC ROM out there inclues demoflow, the device it's self is essentialy a generic unit with an alternate CID, the demo installation and launch is triggered by CID HTC_002, the most effective way to get rid of demoflo and make the device 100% generic, is to S-Off and supercid! (11111111)
Once you are supercid you can flash any ruu and you will still have a 100% generic device, OTA updates and all... Demo won't even install.
The alternative method would be to simply remove /system/etc/.demoflo and /system/priv-app/DemoFlowInstaller
This will break ota and carrying the 002 cid will bring demoflo back when you flash any HTC ruu.
My M9 came as a demo unit, I modified the supersu installer to do the work for me as S-off isn't yet available... Htc dev unlock - twrp & flash the modified supersu zip.. once again breaking ota but I have an ruu on standby..
Feel free to shout if you need assistance.
Thanks
Lee

if you have removed demo the locks will still be in place, you will need to full wipe from TWRP.

If it is a true developer edition, you might try backing up, running one of the Developer Edition RUU's to get back to 100% stock, and then see if you can get the OTA update. If this was a conversion, make sure the CID/MID are correct (which requires S-off).

If its truly the Dev Edition, on the stock ROM and stock recovery, you should get OTA.

lock the bootloader and flash then newest RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8-developer-edition-sense-1-54-t2884777
Then simply unlock the bootloader
flash TWRP recovery and SuperSU and a kernel if you need system r/w

Then why did you state in the thread title and OP "stock"?
InsertCoin is a custom ROM and not stock. So you need to return to a stock ROM to install OTA.

1540 is US Dev Edition, and the OP has Euro DE. The RUU likely will not run with incorrect CID, MID. And not sure this is the stock baseline he would want to be on.

Whats a Demo Rom ?
do you have TWRP installed ?
Install this >> http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=One_M8_2.22.401.4_odexed.zip
That will get the phone working and Sunshine should get you s-off

Don't know where you obtained that info, but its false. S-off is not needed to install any ROMs.
If the phone is a demo unit, you should have stated that right away in your top post. On a previous HTC device (One X) I believe the demo unit was very difficult, if not impossible to make fully functioning. But no idea if the same is true for the M8 demo unit you have.

Sounds like you just got some random advice, with an unknown link and flashed it. Why on earth would you do such a thing? Stick to XDA, at least here you can go by reputation (number of thanks, Recongnized Contibutor, or Recognized Dev titles).

As I just said in my last response, you do not need S-off to flash any ROMs. If you want help, you need to start actually paying attention to the help that is being given to you. You are also making it very hard to help you, by not giving enough info, and just leaking it out little by little.
You say you can't flash any other ROMs, but that isn't enough information. What happens when you try to flash? Does it fail with an error message? Or flash successful, but doesn't boot? What other ROMs have you tried?
If you want to return to stock to receive OTAs, you will need to find and flash the appropriate nandroid and stock recovery for our CID. Stock backup collection can be found sticky at the top of the General section. There are also various guides on how to return to stock, if you need them just search.

[SOLVED] Help with GPE 5.0 root/S-OFF

Hello! I have a strange problem that I'm unable to resolve at the moment. I had GPe (converted with RUU) for quite some time now, and to prevent myself from messing with my phone (ex-flashaholic), I put S-ON back. Now, 5.0 OTA update came, but Sense has been bugging me for some time and I would really love to go back. Now, don't ask me how, but I managed to brick it the first time, now I installed graffixnyc ROM with root. So I have root, I installed Sunshine (which I bought some time ago), but it always says that my device has no root. It has, though, because every other app that needs root to work just works. SuperSU wants to update binary, but it fails - app hangs indefinitely.
I tried older SuperSU versions which helped some people to update binaries, but the phone doesn't boot. I can't delete root because with it just reappears with reboot (rooted ROM). So what can I do in this situation? Did anybody S-OFF 5.0 Android? Or should I just wait for Sunshine update? I would just like to return my device to any kind of offical form (GPe, preferably Sense). I'm really disappointed in myself this time. ^^
So, thank you very much for any suggestions or help!
PS: HTC One M8 unlocked, international version.
Being a flashaholic you should be familiar with flashing SuperSU with your custom recovery if the in app update don't work
I flash SuperSU after flashing every ROM even if it says its rooted
I'm in a similar position. Bought a "converted" M8 gpe. For some reason they put it back on S-ON before they sold it. Sunshine won't S-OFF a gpe device. I'm stuck too.
Sunshine will pull through for all and it's always Worth the cost

this is a twrp backup of MaximusHD 7.0.0 (credits to LlabTooFeR) trimmed down to fit on a GPE system partition.
download the file, extract it (using winrar / unrar / etc.) and place the resulting folder: MaximusHD_M8_7.0.0_minimal
in /ext_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/<your serial number>/
then go to TWRP restore and restore this backup, boot it up (may take a bit of time), and you'll probably get some FC too, but sunshine worked just fine yesterday with this ROM on a GPE converted phone S-ON (with 2.xx firmware), to achieve S-OFF!!
PS: make a nandroid backup of your current setup, in case you need to restore it
Lemme know how it goes
Wow thanks a lot. I'll have a play with this, this afternoon.
@Joplisan @james3833
can you also let me know which firmware version you are on (from a fastboot getvar all, the hboot and version-main, and date of bootloader), so we can keep track for which [GPE] versions this ROM and sunshine works

so confirmed working for converted GPE phones, gone back S-ON (never go S-ON once you have S-OFF)

I have found it's quite finicky too. Last night i just removed the sim card (and put it back) and had to RUU back to stock, from stuck in a boot loop. Reflashed just the firmware but had no Wifi. This thing is frustrating at times
It seems the partition structure is very fragile compared to the M7

Right it all worked. Restored the backup in twrp. Installed sunshine in the new sense ROM, which gave me S-OFF. Now I can flash a lollipop ROM and firmware.
Oh and the getvar details are https://docs.google.com/a/coolsmar...egZawT5bTZOYW0tUzUwd1E/edit?usp=docslist_api

then Joplisan also showed up just a few minutes after i posted, though he didnt get any FC by the way.
you also left in a bit of a hurry, before i could tell you the RUU you were using was for a different MID ... so either use an RUU for your MID, or (if they are compatible, edit the android-info.txt file)

HTC One M8 Blank Camera Issues

Hello guys,
My friend is having a problem with his HTC One M8 camera. It doesn't start. We tried third party camera app, did flashed ViperOneM8 3.2.1 , wiped data, wiped everything even internal memory, wiped camera data cache, don't have installed lastpass.. Before it used to crash when it was on stock but after updating to ViperOneM8 camera app does open but it stays black there and also as you can see there are only two selfie and photobooth options.. missing other options
Phone is unlocked, SuperCID, S Off if anyone could help me?
Edit: Tried safe mode also but still same problem

Try flashing a full ruu and not a rom, if problem still there its hardware.
For that I'd need to go back to from SuperCID to original CID right? And I'll need to remove TWRP recovery , I'm S OFF will that create any problem? Will I loose S Off if I run RUU?

Yep, I see. My friend and I both having same 0P6B10000 MID and CID but I had a stock backup of mine using TWRP would mine stock backup work in his Phone? If I change folder back up name to his device ID ? Since both the phones are the same. So it might make camera work. I think the problem is "with the wiped internal memory" it caused the problem with the cameraw

Yes it would work once your mid and his mid are the same, a full ruu would fix any problem rather than a back up it could be something mess up in the hboot are other part of the phone causing the issue, thats why i advice using a full ruu but you can try that way first.

No, no, no and no.
1) No, you don't need to change from SuperCID to run (any) RUU. SuperCID is called "super" for a reason. It will pass CID check for any CID, essentially bypassing CID check.
2) No, you don't need to revert to stock recovery to run RUU. This is only required when installing stock OTA, so folks often get the 2 confused.
3) S-off won't cause an issue with RUU. In fact, it makes it easier as it removes the requirement to relock the bootloader in order to run the RUU (required if s-on).
4) No, RUU will not return you to s-on. Nothing will, except making it s-on manually yourself.

2) No, you don't need to revert to stock recovery to run RUU. This is only required when installing stock OTA, so folks often get the 2 confused.
3) S-off won't cause an issue with RUU. In fact, it makes it easier as it removes the requirement to relock the bootloader in order to run the RUU (required if s-on).
4) No, RUU will not return you to s-on. Nothing will, except making it s-on manually yourself.

Since you are s-off, no need to relock the bootloader. And I recommend to leave it unlocked. Having it unlocked won't affect anything (prevent anything from flashing), while relocking it will prevent anything unsigned from flashing until you relock it. So for the most part, there is no benefit to relocking as long as you are s-off.
SORRY, Guys was busy. I couldn't find full .EXE Europe RUU but I found RUU_M8_UHL_L50_SENSE60_MR_hTC_Asia_India_4.18.720.8_Radio_1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_417228_signed EXE file.
Can I use this one for HTC One M8 Europe?

Marshmallow Update

whats up guys?
Im a little confused on this update process. i have an ATT M9 that i converted to dev edition. with the new marshmallow update rolling out, its only going to the unlocked version. when i check the HTC website, it says that the dev edition is only in stage 1 while the unlocked and ATT versions are in stage 3. what should i do to get the update asap? keep the dev edition, or convert to unlocked/ATT version? How would i convert to the unlocked edition without an official RUU from HTC?
you already have the answer, anyways ill paste it here for anybody else..:
1.unlock bootloader from htc.dev
2.root twrp 2.8.7.1-beta / SuperSU 2.52
3.S-Off sunshine $25 USD
4.Change CID to Super CID 11111111 MID to 0PJA10000 (international=unlocked).
5.Flash latest ZIP Ruu through SD Card Method
6.This will give you stock WWE UNLOCKED, do not flash any custom recovery or anything else, twrp will be ereased, no more root, stay stock!
7.OTA until you get 2.10 firmware (STOCK).
8.Be Ready for MM! OTA =D
Unlocked generally is WWE Edition, unlocked phones from USA are rarely seen, but you can tottally be sure this is the option, there are only 2 (unlocked) FIRMWARES Dev (current 2.11) and WWE (2.10).

rite, but the update says USA only as of now which means the WWE edition wont be receiving it first. no?
i got a fail to update due to custom software detected on device, relocked bootloader to see if that fixes anything......
I just updated my HTC One M9 unlocked edition and it's a shame there's no System UI Tuner available (kind of expected this though). The quick settings is still same looking; I wished it looked more like stock LOL. Other than that, I'm happy about the permissions; no more location services for a ton of apps . It seems to be much smoother, especially when you flick the apps away from the recent apps drawer.

Any chance of a Twrp backup for those of us wanting to port it?

Hi, and sorry for the inconvenience but my phone is not rooted or anything, I have just kept it stock. No mods, no custom recovery, nothing unfortunately. I would have definitely provided the XDA community with one if it was rooted/had a custom recovery. Sorry man!

HTC 10 Bell

Hi guys, I got the HTC 10 bell variant at a good price and since is my back up phone I'm trying to put it to the test to change it from bell variant to the US variant, I was reading a lot of threads but im confused, , I unlocked the bootloader, I instaled the twrp, now how do i change the CID ??mine shows 666, and I want to change it to 617 , do I have to have S-OFF?? or I can do that with S-ON since the Bootloader is unlocked , will I get the OTA updates for the 617 after i change it?? (btw i dont want to chage it to 401 international because im afraid i will loose the band 4 LTE )
I'm with bell and changed to us unlocked. There might be a way to do it without s-off like maybe super cid. But to install ruu.exe you need s-off. You will get ota but to apply all you need is to reinstall stock recovery.

You can't change your CID and flash the Unlocked version without S-OFF.
Thanks guys for your replays ,btw nitramus can u pls add a step by step how I did it??I'm new with the HTC
Since you're at the cid part just look for the thread for changing cid and flash ruu. And look at the thread with all the backups for all the versions or stock rom. You will have all you need, latest available rom with ota. To prevent any problems as soon as your phone is ready to use after ruu and you logged in to you account apply ota right away, then flash supersu and have fun.

Yes to convert your phone to U.S Unlocked you'd have to S-off to be able to change your CID. You gotta pony up the 25 USD, which is worth it in my opinion if you're gonna use the 10 as your main phone and tinker with it for a year or two.
Basically follow the steps from this guide, and when it comes to flashing an RUU use the Unlocked one you can download directly from HTC.com

BTW it's very fitting that Bell's CID is 666

OK did that so I have S-off, I changed the CID on the cmd , and than I flashed with RUU_PERFUME_WL_M60_SENSE80GP_NA_Gen_Unlock_1.53.617.5 than update to the latest ones that they pop up to update, nice Thank you ,btw if i want to change S-on will impact the updates or should i keep it S-off??
Personally I don't bother to change back but if security is important for you then maybe. Later depending if you want to change things again depending on what you do you might still need s-off.

If you are rooted and/or have a custom recovery, you can't use the official OTAs. You'll need the stock and never rooted ROM (it has to have an unmodified system partition), and also the stock recovery to flash it.
The easiest (and often quicker way than waiting for an official OTA) is to just flash a firmware.zip package in either fastboot or by the rename/SD card method.
I recommend the ones on this thread. You can find both Full Stock .zips there, that will wipe your phone (because they contain the boot.img), and No-Wipe .zips that won't wipe your phone (obviously) as they have the boot.img (kernel and ramdisk) removed, and also contain the latest TWRP recovery versions instead of the stock recovery.

To add regarding future OTA updates, if you want them directly from HTC you'll also have to remove SuperCID, if you have it. Just having a stock/unmodified system and recovery isn't enough.
And I agree, just keep S-off unless you're making a warranty claim.

I was hoping someone might have the official stock firmware including recovery, from bell? I have to send my phone in for warranty repair. I have my stock system backed up and am on firmware 121.666... I have s-off and boot loader locked status. I have super cid 11111111. Any help will be reciprocated. Thank you for any help.
