updating firmware - Sprint HTC One (M8)

I was going to flash the latest firmware 2.16.651.4 but I'm wondering should I do this in steps. I'm on 1.54.651.8 should I flash 1.54.651.10 before 2.16? I'm s-off and rooted. I hope this helps with my mobile data turning off.

You can go right to the latest - the .10 update will just get overwritten by the 2.16 anyway.

If you are returning your phone for service then you can run an RUU if your phone has one.
It will reset everything back to stock, even the firmware. Check here:

If your s-off then a RUU can downgrade your firmware. (I did this on a phone I returned for service without issues) If you are still s-on I don't think it will.
You just download the RUU.exe and run it on your PC and it guides you through resetting everything on the phone.

thank you very much,i'll try it.if there aren't my ruus of region,I use other region ruu,can I get warranty?
That depends on the carrier/vendor. If you don't have a RUU you could also run an RUU for another area (Since your S-off) to downgrade the firmware and then root it and use one of the posted stock nandroids to restore to your proper areas stock config. Then do the stuff to re-lock your bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497

I can back to stock rom,but firmware version can't change,because there aren't ruu of HongKong,any ideas to change firmware version?
Since your S-off you can change your CID to use another RUU like this one:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...14325013-1033115001-release-311678-signedexe/
The RUU will set the device firmware back to stock. Then restore your stock ROM and you should be ok.
Also if you have it stock rom and setup now, you may just want to put S-on so that it says Locked and S-on on bootloader and your vendor will probably not care about the firmware version.

The red warning in hboot is from being unlocked. Once you have back to stock (especially recovery) then the red warning will be gone. For sure after re-locking.

how can I backup stock recovery?
because there are not ruu of HK,so I should use TWRP to restore nandroid backup from HK htc one. then back to stock recovery .
Yes you would TWRP to restore and then flash the stock recovery and relock.
Here is a post where I helped another and it has the stock recovery and instructions for flashing if needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43625746&postcount=17
Just an FYI that this method will not downgrade the firmware, but just get you back to locked and a stock look, but with the newer firmware.
Let me know if you need something else.

Are you rooted? If so then you prolly have to do what I did a few days ago, I RUU'd . Then I updated to the .9 firmware then rerooted, I am s-off so I didn't go through htcdev again.
I think though*correct me if I'm wrong* that the .11 firmware is for the international version.

Use the firmware for the 2.16.654.4 update listed in the first post if you have the HK version. For the standard version use firmware for the 2.16.651.4 update, also found in the first post.

what is the difference between
2.16.651.4 Modified Firmware w/ modified hboot

Full Firmware is the signed firmware from the OTA
Modified has stock recovery and boot.img/kernel removed and requires you to be s-off.
Most folks that are s-off use the modified...if you go the Full route you will have to re-flash twrp and may have trouble booting if the kernel is not compatible with the rom you are running.
thanks think I got it now.
ok I got everything updated now I have no data when roaming all settings are right on phone and still no data on roam any ideas???

[Q] Confused about flashing firmware

Hello
I am still confused about flashing firmwares. I am S-OFF, but I read all the time about people bricking their phones when updating firmware. So here is my question.
My bootloader says HBOOT-1.44.0000 and RADIO-4A.21.3263.04.
Is it safe to flash for example 6.09.401.10 firmware with 1.57.0000 HBOOT? I am using international version of the phone.
Thank you.

It depends on the firmware .. some firmware are pulled from an OTA and are not as complete as a firmware pulled from a RUU.
to be safe the recommend route is to flash all the firmwares up to the current one, so if you are on 1.x.401.x now you would need to flash 2.x /3.x/4.x/5.x before continuing to the 6.x.401.x firmware.
Their is a shortcut - you could flash a 3.x/4.x RUU followed by the 5.x and 6.x firmware's

Radio update

Hello guys,
I have problems with the mobile internet, and wifi connectivity. I noticed that the mobile internet, or wifi loses connection ("freezes"). It still shows that it is connected but nothing is happening when trying to load a page, I have to turn off and on the mobile net / wifi to get it working again.
I was guessing that I could update the radio if there's any update.
Some data about the phone:
ROM: Viper 8.0.0
Hboot: 1.57 S-Off
Firmware: 7.19.401..2
Kernel: ElementalX 20.1
Radio: 4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L
The phone is not carrier locked and has superCID.
Can you please help, if there is an update for the Radio? I mostly found radios starting with 4A. ....

you should update your firmware. Hboot 1.57 means you are probably on a 6.xx.xxx.x firmware. Newer roms need 7.xx.xxx.x firmware.

not done properly as @alray said, 7xxxxx firmware comes with HBOOT 1.61 and your still on 1.57 which is KitKat firmware, and that's also the reason for your wifi issues, its a common problem running Lollipop roms on KitKat firmware.
flash the 7.19.401.2 firmware, don't forget to flash it twice, and then flash the 7.19.401.22 firmware, if you are s-on then you will need to relock the bootloader, if your s-off then no need to relock, you will then have to unlock the bootloader and reflash your custom recovery before trying to boot your phone, neither will wipe your phone.
7.19.401.2 is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952612380

Definitely, sorry my error. I mistyped the hboot. It is 1.61 not 1.57.
Firmware is 7.19.401.2
I guess I can try .22 firmware. Does is contain a newer radio? I'm S-off so won't be a big deal updating.
Thanks for the help.

I thinks its just a radio and recovery update if I remember correctly, always best to be on the latest firmware.
EDIT: just checked, its boot, radio and recovery update.
