So I managed to flash a rooted developer edition rom on my m9 and when I tried to run ota updates, I got an error saying that it couldn't finish because my phone's software has been modified. After some searching around (and admiditantly some arguing), found out that it's because my firmware doesn't match my android version. I'm still running android 5.0.2 and I don't THINK I messed with the firmware. So how do I check the firmware version and find either a rom (preferably as close to stock as possible) or a ruu that will work for the software/firmware versions that I'm using?
Please do a "fastboot getvar all" and post here.

There ya go
Download this RUU: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=96039337900114053
Rename it to 0PJA100.zip
Put it in root of your card(fat32 formatted).
Boot in download(make sure you have sufficient battery) and follow instructions.
P.S: First backup your data, this procedure will erase all your data.

If you have S-OFF it's simple to convert, I'll show you a little tutorial.
If you don't have S-OFF it's impossible and you'll be stuck with this firmware if you won't get an AT&T sim.

I don't have S-offor or the $25 for sunshine. Shouldn't there be a t-mobile, MetroPCS or developer rom or ruu that's compatible with the firmware I'm using?

You can only flash AT&T because of CID, every carrier have different CID and because that the different RUU will give you error.
Only with S-OFF you can change CID and MID and flash any GSM RUU.
So, you're stuck with 1.32.502.9 firmware until you get an AT&T sim to update it or s-off it.
With this firmware you can only flash custom roms with Android version 5.x and some 6.0.x but just few 6.0.x and maybe will be unstable.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
Ah, okay. So basically, I have to go back to AT&T then use a series of ruu files to work my way to nougat then finally flash the custom rom?

Or you can just flash this RUU, then update it from settings, it's more simple.

That's actually why I tried flashing a rom. AT&T won't let you get updates unless you're using their sim card for some ungodly reason.

I understand what you tried but it's impossible to jump firmware to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, this can be done only with OTA on S-ON phones.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
Is it possible to go from one ruu to the next until I get the phone to nougat though?

No, you cannot update it to 2.xx.502.xx or more with RUU, just OTA, Flippy explained you why in the other thread(different encryption between 1.... 2... 3... and 4... firmwares).
So the only way to update your firmware is to flash the RUU I give you(don't flash twrp, root,etc), get an AT&T sim and update it from settings until you reach nougat.
I don't explain it one more time... I think I explained the same thing in different ways 3-4 times....
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
Excuse me. I was thinking/hoping software provided by HTC themselves would be able to upgrade the firmware along with the OS instead of forcing everyone to be stuck with the only option for software upgrades from a carrier that we don't even want/use. It only makes sense that if it can be done on samsung phones, which I've rooted and flashed several times, it could also be done on HTC. So it looks like the only way to get nougat is to suck AT&T's ****. Thanks.

I have rooted and flashed a custom recovery on my HTC One M8, only to find out that firewater s-off doesn't work on my phone. Now there is a tampered notification on Hboot and I cannot get OTA updates. Is there a RUU zip or stock ROM RUU .exe for the T-Mobile version of it ? Please help me !?

HTC has not released an RUU for the HTC One M8 yet so you have to wait. that's why I'm still stock not even root or custom recovery. Always have a way to go back to complete stock before making any mods if you are not sure.

Technically you can just install the custom recovery, then Nandroid your current Rom IMG after that and back it up to the external SD card or Cloud Storage if you wanna go back to "stock/rooted" Before you play with any Roms.
Tho yes I understand your view. I was rooted on 4.4.2 on my bootloader locked Republic Wireless Moto X and it had a force close settings issue...
Needless to say I accidentally wiped my system and was stuck having to RSD Lite back to 4.4.2 stock unrooted because of that, thus loosing root forever (as they patched the exploit in 4.4.2 and the new bootloader doesn't allow for downgrading back to 4.2.

Are you sure you need S-OFF for HK? I thought I read here someone was able to use the S-ON download from the HK thread and it worked.
Can the RUU be run even if you convert to GPE or is there more to the process?
Can you find that thread ? Because S-Off doesn't work on my phone at all.

It's better off you are S off, but you can still attempt it. The thing is if you need to update the drivers, it is strongly recommended to be S off. For 25 dollars, I used sunshine and was able to get s off. Depends on how bad you want it, I suppose.
The thing is, I have a T-Mobile M8 and my device will not allow me at all to S-off. I tried firewater with no dice. So I'm willing to pay a bit to get S-Off.

Or get S-OFF, and simply take out the "firmware.zip" file out of the RUU, there is no reason for wiping or going back to stock, then via sd card you can flash the firmware in Download/Fastboot mode, or you can use a Computer to do it.
I highly suggest you get S-OFF now before HTC possibly patches it like they have many many times before, if so it could be a while before an update is available to make Sunshine work again, they are the best at getting around to it though, but HTC has blocked them before on older devices.
Besides S-ON is horrible and causes issues, like for example without a custom kernel or a kernel patch in some cases you can't install Viper4android driver, or Adaway won't work, issues like that, S-ON blocks certain writes to succeed on /System, basically S-ON=Half A** Root. :laugh:
I must be doing something wrong. I am now S-OFF via Sunshine. Downloaded the firmware package and flashed. Seemed to work, I had 1.53 in bootloader. Created a bit of havoc and had to reinstall ViperRom a few times to get the phone working again. Now showing 1.30 in About tab again.

You're confusing the ROM build with your firmware. The system about info will not tell you your firmware. It shows 1.30.* because that's the ROM build.
Boot into downloader mode and it'll show your firmware as being 1.53.617.5
You will not get best performance out of a Euro build, it's missing the carrier provision information for US carriers.

I am on US Unlocked and 1.53.617.5 firmware using Viper 10 1.2 on T-Mobile. It works great! I notice nothing different about my signal or interface with my carrier. I have VoLTE and WiFi Calling working and working well. Also, I have read that people have working VoLTE for AT&T in the Viper10 thread.
You could also use BadBoyz which is based on the US Unlocked 1.53.617.5.
Hi guys.
Finally decided to jump to N firmware.
Followed the guide on how to do it as I was on Viper.
Now I have uprooted, back to stock recovery and on stock MM 1.80.401.3 and have tried to update using the OTA Update file and stock recovery but it won't work. Keeps failing, complaining about strange file structure or something.
Any tips?

There is a WWE RUU, just flash this?
Ensure you backup all your data when flashing it though...it will wipe everything, including your internal sdcard.
The much easier way would be to S-oFF and flash the nowipe firmware in fastboot.

A firmware package that doesn't wipe your phone's data when you flash it, as opposed to something like an ruu that typically wipes your phone when you glass it.

You need to be s-off and change your MID to the AT&T MID and CID to AT&T or superCID. Then you can flash the RUU, and you should be in business.

Actually all that is needed with the M8 is superCID to flash the RUU, although changing the MID might be needed for VoLTE. I'm not sure about that part since I'm not from India
