I was on CWM before but devs lately are recommending TWRP
go to android development thread at top of page read the sticky notes for directions
all versions of CWM work with our t989d
easiest way to install CWM is Rom Manager from the app store
but you must root your phone first
just in case you did not know hope this helped m8

If you are flashing first time
you want the *.tar file
so you can use Odin to flash the recovery

Boot issues
Hi everyone,
I just flashed the boot.img and installed the Root_And_BusyBox.zip file via TWRP. After a reboot, my device is stuck at the boot screen (white screen with green HTC logo and red warning about development build). Apparently it finishes booting, because when I touch the screen I can feel it respond, I can even hear the unlock sound. However the screen always stays the same. Holding the power button doesn't reboot the phone either.
Any ideas how I can get this to work again?
Thank you very much!

Hi guys,
I am currently running stock rom and software version 3.28.709.5. I rooted with hassoon AIO Toolkit.
My questions are these :
1) should I unroot my device and follow the instructions to have access to OTA updates?
2) since my device version seems to be newer than recommended one by Mike, will Mikes method work with my version?
3) when people say that you can't process OTA updates when rooted and running a custom recovery, does that mean you literally cannot see any available updates under the HTC software update section? Or that you can see the update but cannot install it?
Thanks all especially Mike!

Hi Mike1986,
Many thanks for posting this thread. I have an M8 with cidnum: HTC__621 and modelid: 0P6B11000. Am I able to use your "stock odexed 3.28.401.7" download on this device? I note that on the first post in this thread you've mention a cidnum of "0P6B10000".

Try holding down the power button + vol. up
It's the equivalent of a battery pull, and might clear stuff up.
You'll have to hold it down for 20 seconds or so. Be patient and wait for it to reboot before letting go.

Hi xunholyx,
Thanks for your reply, I didnt know about the Vol down in this case. With my last phone it was just holding the power button.
Anyway, what I did is wait until the battery died, then I was able to get into fastboot mode again. It seems there was something wrong with the boot.img. After I flashed the stock one again it worked fine. Not sure why it didn't want to work...

I can only speak for number 3. You will see the updates, but when you try to install them it will boot into your custom recovery, then installation will fail. Only flashing the stock recovery back will let you install the OTA. After that you can flash your custom recovery again.

Hi, question:
When S-Off and Super-CID set, do I get OTAs offered? And if, which ones?
To be clear: I know how to install OTAs from here via stock recovery from SD-card, but I don't find a clear answer to the question above.

You will also need an unmodified /system partition. You will need to disable Xposed if you use it, and revert any other changes made to files in /system.

I don't use Xposed and as far as i know haven't made any changes in /system. I might have used only the SD card permission fixer app. Not sure if that affects /system.
So if I unroot and follow this method I can have access to ota updates? Even if I'm using newer software version?

You would have to downgrade your firmware to what is stock for you before getting OTAs.

You have to downgrade your firmware to match the version of stock ROM you are using (4.4.3 i presume?).
If you are worrying about getting OTAs using the new software version, then it is not stock for you.
Maybe it is me who is misunderstanding. Did you manually update your firmware? Then it is probably not stock for you.
The OTA would have contained the new firmware.
If you need OTAs, you will have to S-Off and downgrade.
Unless I was misunderstanding what you were asking.
Edit: I see now by reading back to the beginning that I did misunderstand.
I think this method will still work, but I will check to make sure. BRB

When I got the phone a week ago I'm pretty sure it was already 4.4. I processed 1 OTA, which was called the HTC Eye experience, I then unlocked and rooted using a all in one toolkit. I am now still 4.4 kitkat.
I thought the software version and firmware was the same thing?
My current software version is 3.28.709.5
And for some reason I can't see anything when I use adb getvar version-main.
I didn't manually load anything except for unlocking bootloader and rooting.
I want to process OTA in the future without unrooting but Mike the OP listed a different software version.
As you answered me in a different thread you know I'm asking about how to get my version main back.

It's the ROM version and firmware version that could be different. You can be running the very newest firmware, but still be on a 4.4.2 ROM

Try "fastboot getvar all" (no quotes) in ADB. It should list all the info you need about your phone.

I already asked this in the original tread, but I see now there is a q&a section, so..
So, if I changed my build.prop, ota will fail, right?
Will it still fail if I replace build.prop with a copy (backup) of the original?

Stock or near stock ROM

Long story short, I am rooted and s-on and running an older version of insertcoin rom. The TWRP backup of my stock rom won't restore and I want to use sunshine to s-off but it says I need to have a stock or close to stock rom. Can anyone recommend a rom that will work for me? Keep in mind that I'm still on firmware that is compatible with 4.4.3. I'm only needing the rom to enable me to s-off, then I can upgrade everything.
Thanks.

You do realize how quickly and easily you can switch back and forth between recoveries if you need to, right? Flash the backup, then switch immediately back to TWRP, then make your own with that recovery to save for later. Or you could just switch back and forth again because it is so easy. I'm surprised that there are no TWRP backups for you. Most have TWRP ones available.

If it just for SunShine S-Off purpose, just grab any TWRP 2.xx backup... you don't really need your device version stock ROM.
2.22.401.5 is a good choice.

thanks for the replies
OK here's whats happened. I downloaded the nandroid for my carrier and managed to install it. Its version 4.4.2 and it detected there was an update. I downloaded it and it installed fine, rebooted and it detected another update, then the wifi suddenly turned itself off and would not turn back on so I couldn't download the second bigger update.
I've re-installed the Insertcoin backup and it's all working again.
any ideas?

you shouldnt be taking OTA updates in the first place if you want to Sunshine S-OFF.... the more updates you take the less chances of sunshine working

Wooo Hooo! Worked like a charm. Thanks for the post.

working great, thanks for the early release!

well, its not an official release, that was confirmed to me by the TWRP folks..
if you REALLY want to test that it works, do a nandroid of your current rom, then reboot to recovery.
Do a complete wipe of data/system/cache/dalvik, factory reset, then try to restore your nandroid, and reboot
If it reboots, and works as normal, then you're good to go!
If it doesn't, you'll know its not a good recovery, and you'll be restoring your phone with Odin or some other way..
Good luck!

Does it work?

deep Sleep?
Anyone getting deep sleep after TWRP? I installed it and no deep sleep, restored stock and deep sleep.
Anyone else?

yep, and its been discussed dozens of times throughout these threads..search and you will find..

Can anyone confirm adb access from with twrp? How about restore functionality?
I have been unable to do either, restore sends me into bootloop on splash screen.
