HTC One M8 - Software Status Modified?

Vrz htc one m8 - software status modified?
Let me start by apologizing in advance, I have NO idea if this is the right place to post this so if it isn't I'm genuinely sorry! I have no idea what I'm doing to be honest.
All I know is I have a Verizon HTC One M8 that I'm still paying for and want to sell so I can pay it off and cancel the second line on my account and it says Software Status - Modified. I don't know if this means the phone was, or is, rooted - I was under the impression that for some reason you couldn't root Vrz. phones but like I said - no idea what I'm talking about.
I just want to get the phone back to stock as fast and easy as possible so that I can hopefully get rid of it. If anyone could please help me out or point me in the right direction it would be so appreciated.
Again, I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place or if my lack of knowledge is annoying - I just want to get rid of this phone!! Thank you!

Does it say s-on or s-off in bootloader

The Verizon version M8 does not support unlocking the bootloader by "official" means using HTCDev.com. But folks have been able to root using Kingroot, than s-off using sunshine and then "unofficially" unlock the bootloader.
Software status modified may be a result of Kingroot. But it sounds like you bought the phone new and never tried to root?

I bought the phone new BUT I bought it for my ex so I have no idea what he did with it. But chances are he tried to (or did) root the phone.. Is there anything I can do? Any easy solution since I have no idea what any of these things mean, ha!

On the Verizon version, I'm not sure there is an easy way to remove the "modified" flag. In other words, I think you might need root or some other things like custom recovery, unlocked bootloader, or even s-off.
If you don't want to invest the time and effort, you might just want to sell the phone "as-is" and fully disclose the "software modified" status the potential buyers.

I have no problem investing time or effort, I'd much rather the phone be back to normal so I can hopefully get enough money for it to pay it off. Like I said, only problem is most of this stuff is like reading another language to me. I genuinely know nothing about androids.. I'm pretty computer/iphone savvy but that's kind of the extent of it.

That is correct, RUU will completely re-image the phone to stock.
Thanks for the link. Wow, how did I not know those existing for so long? While I'm not a Verizon owner I'm pretty aware of the RUUs for various versions. I was only aware of the "hacked" RUU here (which requires s-off since its not official): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727831
RighteousB, the link in the previous post is what you want. Just download the latest RUU, and follow in the instructions in that thread to easily return to full stock.
But in the interest of full disclosure, I recommend you still inform potential buyers the phone was modified at some point, as it has various implications.

Unknown imei Moto g6 play.

Hello I was rooting my Moto g6 play and made the awful mistake of not backing up efs partition ( I know Dumb). I got it all done and booted up and now unknown imei. I was wondering if there where any tech savvy people on here that would know how to fix this problem. I know the Imei and if I fastboot getvar I can see the iemi. Plzz help thanks.

Just flash stock firmware. thats a pretty big mistake to make lol I'm pretty sure I made it quite clear in my guide to backup at least 2 or 3 times. But just flash stock firmware using the commands at the bottom of my guide. Even if the bootloader is locked the commands will work to reflash it still. The need links for stock firmware is also in the guide. And I will say this. If you took the newest update before rooting then you will have to wait for that firmware to be uploaded because its not uploaded yet.

The newest build is only a few days old so it will be nearly impossible to find online. And it has a different baseband and radio than the previous build. But the October update is OCP27.91-150
As long as the imei isn't zero you should be able to get service back. I had the same issue when I flashed an older firmware like a moron. But when I took the update again, I got service back. I don't recommend it because I may have just been lucky, but no matter what don't flash the gpt, asdspo(?) And bootloader with the older firmware. It'll mess your life up.

Ok i guess ill have to wait it out. Tried to flash stock and still unknown imei and no base band version so guessing it was updated. Thank guys!

Try taking the update again over WiFi if you can. You shouldn't have an issue as long as you're back to stock. But the update is only 3 days old so you may have a chance.

At this point no it's gonna need a full reflash of the firmware. I was having issues with my service and went and flashed the OEM file from the 2nd update through fastboot and did the erase carrier command and got my service fixed. Could try that.

If you have the xt1922-9 then that means you have the att version if I'm not mistaken. If so just go to the links in my guide for stock firmware in the att folder. It has both the firmware your on plus the updated firmware from September which is ocp27.91-62-3 plus my guide will help you achieve root. Just please read it all

Baseband is software. Radio is a piece of hardware. The piece of hardware that gets your carrier's signal. It can't be upgraded without physically altering the phone. Even then it would need to be the same exact radio because the stock drives probably wouldn't work, and the chances of a dev making a version for 1 person with a different hardware would be slim to none.

I'm having an issue where the network icon in the statusbar is changing every few seconds. from completely empty bars to almost full. never all the way full. And this is with 4g.
I tried switching to 3g (same problem) and 2g and with 2g I get full signal but realy that's not an option, too slow internet etc..
Thankyou in advance.

I think its possible by remote unlocking.

Mr3p thanks for the quick response and this agrees with mostly everything I found on line. What's causing my confusion is I have a toggle in Settings/systems/developers options: enable OEM unlock. I can use adb to boot into fastboot without any trouble but the only patched image (patched_boot_10b.img) i have is for LM-710EM ver V10b. I want to make sure it is compatible with 710ulm. my full version number V10b-LAO-COM, Build# OPR1.170623.032. I would appreciate any input you have on this.
thanks
Zb

cheeze.keyk is correct that the G7ULM can be remote unlocked by loading a V35 engineering bootloader in place of your current bootloader. If you are comfortable having someone remotely access your phone via PC then it can be done, see link he referenced. My comments were regarding unlocking via normal LG unlocking process.
I'd have to look up that version number but doesn't match up with G7ULM. Can you do a screen shot where you are seeing it in your phone?

G710 ulm ?
Sure . You can .
At first, please update to 11b, i will show you. If u have telegram. Give me ur info.

No it will not work because your phone is a G710ULM just loaded with a different model firmware. My best suggestion would be to restore ULM firmware back on the phone.

It seems this was a unlocked or flashed US sprint phone if a previous life. not sure if it has a stock rom I can flash it with, LGUP seems fairly straight forward but I'm not sure what to flash it with. My IMEI says this model is an LGG710PM. again any suggestions from you would be appreciated. 
 @ValKyre thank-you for the offer but i'm sorry but I'm not willing to grant remote access.

It seems this was a unlocked or flashed US sprint phone if a previous life. not sure if it has a stock rom I can flash it with, LGUP seems fairly straight forward but I'm not sure what to flash it with. My IMEI says this model is an LGG710PM. again any suggestions from you would be appreciated.

Unless I missed something, that's the first you've mentioned that your phone is Sprint model. It may be out there somewhere or you may have better luck searching however I looked for Sprint .kdz a couple of weeks ago but couldn't find one. You haven't mentioned your wireless provider so it's hard to make a recommendation but if you can't locate Sprint model firmware, I would flash the phone with the latest G710ULM firmware as that's the carrier unlocked version and should have the greatest compatibility. I vaguely recall reading someone taking a phone like yours back to a Sprint store where they were able to flash the phone back to Sprint firmware so you might consider trying that also.

@mr3p you're correct I just learned it was sprint model when I went to lg's site to download the firmware to revert it back as you suggested with lgup. It states that sprint, and all the major USA carrier's, can't be flashed. I Will give the 710ULM firm ware a try. I'll let you know how that goes. BTW thank you again for your help, Zb

@MrP3 thank you for your input, after soft bricking the phone I found the correct DLL for LGUP and was able to upgrade to ver lg710ulm2g. this version still comes with the bootloader unlock option in the developer menu> i'll continue to research/play with it to see if root is possible.

I am confused. If your phone is Sprint IMEI do you mean that it was a Sprint G7 loaded with ULM software? If your phone is Sprint model are you saying that ULM firmware is the only requirement to achieve root?

lg710ulm2g? Did you see ULM firmware versions here?

I had the J version 9G710ULM10j_00_NAO_US_OP_0219.kdz) but that is what bricked me, the only update that took was [GFI]G710ULM10g_00_NAO_US_OP_0913. I am making the assumption that the same 'LGUP Common DLL' should work regardless kdz file I use. I just can't seem to find a newer firmware file that doesn't stop after 11%.

Did the failed firmware load occur with the windows app or command line as suggested?
