OK, so about 9 months ago I rooted my Three branded HTC one, installed CWM recovery and put ARHD12 on there and it's been brilliant. Three are now rolling out the 4G radio updates which as far as I understand is entirely separate to any ROM such as ARHD. So how do I get the radio update? Do I have to go back to stock? If so, now's the time to confess I didn't take a backup before I installed ARHD. So I guess I need the most recent Three RUU - do I have to remove CWM before I install it? I'm not a n00b - I managed to do this on my own last time and I'm fairly technically competent. The only problem I have now is one of time - I can't spend an entire day figuring stuff out due to the 9-month old bundle of joy that requires a fair bit of attention! If you can help me with a fairly simple outline of what to do in what order, that would be very much appreciated. Cheers!

You will have to return completely to stock. That means everything must be as it was out of the box. As for the ruu for your carrier, if they released it then it should be in one of the stickies.

I'm on Three in the UK and before I flashed a custom ROM I made sure I got S-Off then flashed the latest unbranded firmware(FUU_4.19.401.9-TWRP2633_combined_nowipe.exe which I got from XDA) and then changed my CID to SuperCID. After that I flashed custom ROM without flashing a stock ROM. LTE/4G works perfectly ok.

Thanks Heat57. I'm currently S-On, Unlocked, Tampered. I've also found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419699
which seems to contain all of the radio files in the world, and also all of the firmware. This radio:
(1.29.401.12 WWE OTA) Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L
Looks interested, but you say you never flashed your radio? When did you get your one?
I'm thinking from your post I'm going to get S-OFF (using Revone, yes?) and flash a firmware to see if the 4G radio options show up. I can't see the one you mentioned - could you recommend one from the above thread? Also, it says TWRP - I'm using CWM - is that a problem?
Final question - if I do a backup I'm backing up the radio and firmware as well? So if I make a total plums of this I can get back to CWM and restore?
TIA for any further help you can give me

Well, I flashed the firmware, which amongst other hardware bits includes the radio. My first goal was to unlock the bootloader and then S-Off, as the latter removes any potential issues with firmware flashes and the like. I also went and changed CID to 11111111, which I understand is SuperCID and enables flashing of firmware and ROMs of different CID designations. Please beware, YOU MUST BE S-OFF FOR FIRMWARE FLASHING!!!
Regarding your question of revone, if you're on hboot 1.44 then yes, revone, hboot version 1.54 and 1.55 only work with rumrunner and latest versions require the 'firewater' exploit.
I am relatively new to HTC, although I owned an original Desire many years ago, so I still remember the peculiarities of HTC ROM. I had a Galaxy Note 2 and rooting and flashing ROMs there is a piece of cake by comparison. I digress.
Unlike most other manufacturers, where you get everything included in the custom ROM, it seems with HTC that is not the case, hence if you want to update your radio for example, you need to flash a firmware package. Therefore, I am not certain if a Nandroid would restore the firmware, if you encounter any problems, maybe someone more knowledgeable can confirm. In any event, if you're S-Off then flashing any firmware for the M7ul should work, so worst case, if you mess up you could always flash the one I pointed out via adb. Here is a link to the latest firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485651
Regarding the recovery, I just prefer TWRP and use the one but last version 2.6.3.4, which works perfectly. #However, there is no reason why your CWM should not be adequate. Before I took the jump, after just receiving my One, I read through the threads for about a day to make sure I got it right.
Finally, if you end up rooted and S-Off then there is a supper little flashable zip called 'Guru_Bootloade_Reset_1.0.zip' that allows you to remove the tampered flag, relock the bootloader and unlock it again by simply flashing it and selecting what you want in it's aroma installer. You'll find it on XDA as well, justuse the search function.
Hello -- I cannot do the T-Mobile (USA) Sense 6 for M7 update OTA. I believe the problem was the custom recovery (TW) which I had, so I flashed a variety of stock recoveries (4.20.707.7, 4.19.401.11, 4.06.1540.2). My telephone is software version: 4.19.531.10 which I cannot find a stock recovery for. The update downloads, reboots, then the progress bar goes about half-way before a red-triangle appears. Not sure what else I need to do to the phone. I only have OTA ROMs on the phone, S-OFF and the device is rooted. Any one with any experience with this and how did you resolve? Many thanks in advance!

The ota update might fails because of bad recovery installed or because the md5 checksum fails because of some missing or modified /system files or missing preloaded apps like flashlight, calculator etc etc that get wiped during bootloader unlock. Since your phone is s-off, you could run the 3.24.531.3 ruu.zip (don't s-on and don't relock bootloader) and apply each ota updates from 3.24.531.3 to 5.xx.531.x,
Ok, I have one really nooby question. Are T-Mobile USA and T-Mobile Germany branded phones the same? Because my phone is T-Mobile Germany, and I've seen that for T-Mobile branded phones Sense 6 update is out, so I'm wondering if that's for all phones or just USA.
Thank you
It's for T-Mobile USA for now. Europe roll out would soon occur.

T-Mobile makes the OTA updates not work with ANY modification (other than S-OFF), so even if you relock the bootloader and install the stock recovery, the OTA update will fail. I've even tried to unroot, but it still fails. Only way to update is to install the RUU, either the exe or the zip. I just installed the last ruu.zip that I could find (3.24.531.3) then let it do the OTA update to 4.19.531.10, reboot, then do the OTA update to 5.14.531.1. A pain in the ass, but after getting everything restored and set up, it works and looks great.

Thanks for the help. This took half a day to resolve. I used Guru Reset to get things going. I had to go from RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_TMOUS_1.27.531.11_Radio_4A.17.3250.20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed_2 and work my way up to v3 (via RUU) and then started to get the OTA v4 and v5. I could not immediately go to installing the v3 (tried a couple) RUUs. Also, I think part of my own personal problem was downloading the ZIP or the EXE for the v3 RUU was becoming corrupt each time (different file sizes, etc). I know my network is solid, but this was a real problem and I could never get a decent download of an RUU for htc1guru (tried different browsers, etc too).
Thanks for the help! I'm glad I got the help and the new upgrade --- seems very nice. And, thanks too to Titanium Backup -- it quickly got a lot of my user data back in place being I had to start from scratch.

Were you trying to download the RUU using the phone? I have found in the past that can corrupt the files, not sure why. I located the RUU zip for the 3.14.531.3 release in a post here on XDA (a collection of RUUs from various sources). I prefer using the zip instead of the exe (the zip is less sensitive, the exe can check too many things, making it fail more often). Once the 3.14 RUU was applied, I could then do the OTA for the 4.19 and the 5.14 releases easily. Then I re-unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then rooted it.

Thanks Fuzi -- yeah, I was downloading on the PC. I tried it numerous times. I agree with you and tried going with the ZIP. All times, the file was coming up in different sizes and could not extract, but I finally got it to work. Once I got the download going for the first one, I basically followed what you said here and it worked. Thanks much again.
Hello!
I just bought this phone. I have the HTC One HKE. I bought yesterday, and today I rooted it. I had no reason to wait.
So I was wondering, currently I'm on the Viper ROM 2.4.0, and I thought it would increase the performance but it has rather slightly hampered it. I want one that will increase the performance of the phone, so which ROM would you recommend? Also, please do make a kernel recommendation that goes along with it, too.
I prefer staying with Sense 6.0.
Not sure how you "slightly hampered" the performance of your phone by flashing Viper, other than the fact the version of Viper you flashed is outdated. I'm running Viper 3.2.1 with MassStash's Hypernova kernel and my phone runs great. To each his own, though. "Best ROM/kernel" threads are subjective at best because what works well for one person may not work well for another.

I'm very well aware that this my rom is outdated, but I cannot seem to be able to return to stock to update the firmware in order to install the latest versions. When I do, my WiFi does not work and that's a real problem.
Can anyone direct me to the correct thread that explains how I can do this? Note that I have tried updating the firmware in many different ways - through the command prompt, and using the generic RUU update with replacing the rom.zip file. I do not know what I need to do first, I just relocked the device and had a little panic attack because I couldn't do anything else. I had to unlock it again using the HTC dev code.
Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to get the latest firmware? I'm on the HK device with firmware version 2.16.654.4
Take a look at the thread linked below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
I tried to do this, as I previously stated. I tried to do it over fastboot. I tried using Generic RUU. Each time I get an error. At first it was error 99, but then I relocked the bootloader and got error 12 (signature verification failed).
Would you mind posting a link to the RUU you attempted to use? We were actually having a discussion in another thread about some similar issues folks were having.
I tried them all.
I tried the HK version, the non-HK version. I tried the ones with boot.img and the ones without. I even tried to download the entire image (1.6GB) and flash it with the program and that did not work either. I tried them all, believe me. I would not let something like that (wrong version) get in the way.
I have:
cidnum: SPCS_004
version-main: 2.16.654.4
I even tried running the SuperCID command, and that didn't do anything.
You won't be able to get SuperCID while S-on. My suggestion at this point would be to unlock your bootloader again, flash a stock rooted ROM and then get S-off with the Sunshine exploit. You can then update your firmware without having to mess with any of the RUU or FUU stuff.
Where could I find a stack rooted ROM that matches my version?
I looked them all up in the other thread and most of their versions are 1.xxx while my mainver is 2.16.xx

Okay. Right now, I am on stock rooted. I am not quite sure how to proceed with the update. I have been going to the menu, and checking for an update but it says that no update is availible at this time.
Do I try running the RUU, or just wait for it to arrive?
I should also tell you that I am still on TWRP and unlocked. Should relock and install stock recovery as well?

You can go one of two routes. Either S-off and manually update your firmware, or install the stock Android system recovery, which will allow you to take the update.
So, I did it.
I'm currently on the latest firmware, running the latest Venom too with the WiFi working. I have root access.
You told me earlier that I should do sunshine s-off. I was wondering, why is that? I already have everything I wanted. What is the benefit of S-OFF, when I already have root?
I don't want to sound ignorant, but I really don't know. I feel like a big noob right now.

Dear All,

1) Sprint 831 C - M8_WHL PVT SHIP - S- OFF,
2) CID - 11111111
3) HBOOT - 3.16.0.0000
4) Radio : 1.00.20.0120.
Further, Since the device came to me in the S-OFF and SuperSU installed on it (Rooted), I managed to install twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img, for which now I have backed up my complete system, and have nandroid backup for it.
Now, I am curious to install other custom rom as well, my earlier readings / understandings here & after googleling, warns me to do it untill I have the Firm ware updated.
My queries,
1) Should I download the RUU 1.5 GB 1) http://www.pocketables.com/2015/02/sprint-htc-one-m8-lollipop-via-otaruu.html or form here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-sprint/news/ and follow the instructions thereby.
2) May I at the liberty to install the Android Revolution HD ROM on HTC One M8 , available here : http://www.droidviews.com/install-android-revolution-hd-rom-on-htc-one-m8/
3) Will I loose, my S-OFF, Sim Unlock in doing above mentioned acts.
The snapshot of my device in bootloader mode is attached for your quick guidance.
Pl. help understand the above. Thank you all in advance.

Karan.
You can use the HK firmware from HTC USA website also. In fact I urge you to do this if you wish to use any Lollipop based ROM else you may face WiFi issues etc. It won't affect your S-off or anything. You can unlock your Bootloader also, in fact you should in my opinion.
I am using my 831c with ViperOneM8 4.3.0 which is reasonably stable to use as a daily driver.
I am using this with Reliance CDMA; no issues to report. You can find my guide to get rid of the annoying activation nag pop up. I'm traveling otherwise I'd link it here.

Hi Karan,
Your Bootloader isn't UNLOCKED. Your device is S-OFF but at least your Bootloader screenshot shows that your bootloader is still LOCKED. Could be an HBOOT trick, I don't know.
Well, you may be using your device as GSM only but be assured that it can also be used for CDMA if you want (INR 824 for unlimited calling, text and 3G is an amazing deal with Reliance CDMA.. LOL) but let's get back to your question.
I'd recommend flashing either of the two firmware files listed below. Since your phone has a SuperCID, you can even convert it to the Harman Kardon Edition (I don't know how much better/ worse it is honestly):
1. Harman Kardon Edition ROM: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/
2. Non-Harman Kardon Edition ROM: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-sprint/news/
They have the same fixes, etc., as far as I know. The Harman ROM has some audio enhancements that you may or may not need.
And yes, finally to answer your primary question, you can use the firmware that you have mentioned as well, I think it corresponds to the no. 2 link that I have posted.
You will need to remove some files to get rid of the activation nagger though. It keeps popping up "Hands Free Activation" and that is very annoying!
Good luck!

Hello sir,
Now, today I tried couple of things as below: -
As advised by you, firstly I attempted to unlock the Bootloader by using the Hasoon's AIO 2014 Toolkit, I booted in fastboot USB, even successfully got the Token Identifier submitted on HTC Dev however when tried to submit the bin file the command prompt window say error no device found. ( Pl. guide as what is going wrong , this process was repeated twice by me - NO Success found) .
Secondly, downloaded one of the files we discussed yesterday, the files i.e 0P6BIMG_Sprint_HTC_One_M8_4.25.651.14_RUU.zip, renamed to 0P6BIMG, kept in SD card (8 GB / EXFAT formatted), to which the device started scanning as soon as I attempted to enter the Bootloader mode (i.e Vol Dn + Pw), while scanning it says No Image / Wrong Image/ ( Pain full).
Finally, I also had a downloaded file of (Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_41.0_866186), stated to be a Kitkat 4.4.2 rom, now assuming that I have already unlocked bootloader, I performed Install after wipe / Delvick Cache/Data/System, it went through whole installing however after coming on 100/- without my giving the command of reboot the device get's power offed. Thenafter performing the Vol Dn +Pw also it didn't responded , then tried Vol UP+Pw, which gave me the option to into recovery mode (TWRP ver 2.7.0.2) where I had the Backedup file, which was restored and that is how I saved my life.
Now, what is really going wrong not able to sum it up, even trying to unlock BLDR, does'nt help, request you intervention / help Sir.

You have TWRP it means your bootloader is already unlocked. You can go ahead and flash viper rom. even if you relocked because you have s-off you can flash anything.
To flash the zip, you can try directly from cmd by going to bootloader and type:
1 - "fastboot oem rebootRUU"
2 - "fastboot flash zip pathto.....zip"
This will format the internal memory 25GB and remove TWRP and return everything to stock.(if its the 1.5GB zip) You will not lose s-off.
Note: ARHD may not work on Sprint M8

Thanks for replying. Just to share I attempted to update the H/K 1.5 GB RUU stock file and got the success, however lost my SuperSU app, also root has gone as tried by installing rootchecker, which didn't gave the positive result.
Now my query is, that will I have to follow all the process of unlockng the btldr from HTC Dev, installing TWRP latest one, will I loose the S-off , Sim unlock etc... I am looking to install a ROM which has the Stock FM app in it, may I request you to suggest if any that shall work flawlessly in India.
Best Regards/ Karan

If you install any custom sense ROM like viper or badboy, it will be rooted.
As for stock FM, it should be included in custom sense ROMs.
You will not lose simlock or soff by doing anything mentioned.
However some people(including me) get simlocked randomly, if it happens to you, you can do twrp backup, follow instructions to simunlock then restore backup again no matter what rom you were using.

NEED HELP!
Get these errors while flashing from pc and from sd.
Flashed this RUU.
Prior to flashing I also flashed the no wipe firmware. 0PJAIMG_HIMA_UL_N70_SENSE80_ATT_MR_NA_Gen_Unlock_4 .14.617.6.
Before flashing I had 3.35.401.32 and same after flashing
I had a OPJA120 (T-Mobile) and after flashing the RUU it had become himaulatt. I had changed to the cid and mid to dev cid and mid.
Long story short, I tried to flash dev RUU but failed sometimes due to error above and sometimes due to another error 21 ru unzip failed and sometimes failed on flashing system image 2. All I want is to convert the device into dev edition to get nougat update. Right now I have reflashed twrp and restored stock backup. Cant flash any other rom and sim doesnt work too. Any help would be appreciated. Any link to the required tested RUU would be great too.
