Can I flash the M8 firmware on the M7? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I would like to flash Android Revolution HD 60.0 and it is based on the M8's 1.54.401.5 firmware, is it safe to grab the 1.54.401.5 firmware and flash it on my M7 so it matches with the ROM?
Thanks in advance

That's an HTC M8 software that has been ported to the One... You can't flash it... You need to wait for the HTC M7 base

flashing firmware from a different device would be a very bad thing to do.

But please experiment for us!

Fortunately it is really hard... Unless you're S-OFF LoL, in that case consider your phone F***ed

Alright so I did it anyway and bricked my phone
Just kidding, thanks for the replies, carrying on with the firmware I have right now.

If trickdroid 5.6 is riunning Android 4.1 then you should be fine. I think the only issues are running 4.2 roms

Use revone. It's easy and doesn't require linux, firmware and carrier doesn't matter.

The revone method doesn't require root, also let's you unlock bootloader without HTCDev
Found it a lot simper as well, took a few attempts to get going tho
My biggest problem was I forgot to put sudo (only needed for linux) and I forgot to put the file extension.

Another vote for revone from me. I've just got S-OFF with it, and it's very easy by following the guide they have on their post.
I used moonshine and everything worked fine.. Tank you guys for helping me :laugh:

If you will change rom, you have to do a full wipe in aroma or in recovery before the flash

To flash a custom rom, you need to unlock your device via htc-dev. I'll put a tutorial video link below.
If you already have the 4.2.2 update, don't worry about new firmware for now. Otherwise, you don't need S-OFF depending on your CID to flash the custom 4.2.2 rom and firmware.
To do a rom swap, you don't need new firmware unless it's a newer base which also got a firmware update from htc

I think is better for him use only the revone tool if he have the 1.44 hboot!
So he can unlock the bootloader and go s-off
Which hboot do you have?

So, turn off your phone and longpress power + vol- and when it reboot in bootloader read the hboot.
After reboot in android with the "reboot" line, for move the cursor you have to use the vol buttons

I think it's not needed, but I'm not 100% sure on this one.
I used 4.3 firmware on 4.2.2 before, but it was a custom pack (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391611) so I'm not sure if the official one would work

You want the one labeled 3.06.1700.10. That is the one that matches the latest GE 4.3 dump. More info including the entire dump and full conversion can be found here:

As I said earlier you can't flash custom firmware but you can still flash roms..... If you want to flash a GE custom rom than you can do that without needing to change/update your firmware.

I'm S-OFFed and SuperCID. Can I flash any rom now?

Hey,
Bit of a newb at this S-OFF stuff right now so could anyone care to explain?
Since im SuperCIDed, can I let's say flash a GPe Rom on my HTC one? How does it work? Can anyone explain?
Many thanks

Yes. You can flash any ROM now - regardless of region. Doesn't matter if it's CM11, GPE, SENSE, AOKP etc.
The CID number determines what region the phone was bought in, and will only allow other ROMs or OTAs from that region to be flashed to the phone. Now that you've made your phone super cid it means you've no limits to what ROMs you can flash.
This is in layman's terms though, since I'm no developer. Hope I've made some kind of sense.

Oh yeah that's very easy. I dint think you would of needed super cid but it's good to have.
Just flash a recovery from the boot loader and copy the GPe rom to your phone and flash!

No boot screen

Hi
I'm trying to test a ROM out and I'm coming by something I've never seen before. It goes through the aroma with no errors and everything appears to install correctly. I go to first boot the rom and others past the splash screen then it goes black. It doesn't seem to boot the rom. I flashed an soap rom to test and make sure that I could still flash rims and it works fine. I go back to test my rom and it does the same thing. It's based on 7.19.401.2 and I'm using 7.17.1540.22 firmware on my m7 Dev ed. Any ideas
Thanks

You said that AOSP roms are working fine, did you tried other roms based on 7.19.401.2? Is your rom using the stock kernel of 7.19.401.2 or a custom one? I had many problems booting custom kernels (like ElementalX) when using the 7.xx.1540.x firmware, reverted to 7.19.401.x firmware and everything was fine. So maybe a kernel problem, might also worth to try another twrp version like 2.6.3.3

sorry for late reply, to flash the .401 firmware on your phone you can simply open the firmware.zip and modify the android-info.txt file so that your MID and CID is included in the list. Better to use notepad++. The other option is to change your phone MID and CID so they match the android-info.txt (PN0710000 and HTC__001)

So it might be a problem with your rom. I can't really help your more, I never built or ported a rom (I'm not a dev). Might want to ask another dev or compare your rom with another similar one based on 7.19.401.2 that works fine when flashed to your phone.
Sorry
