I don't get updates

Hi my name is meraj. I have purchased HTC one through a local website in Dubai ( which they claim that they bought from UK ) . I have been using it since July and I didn't get any updates . All my friends got new 4.2 or 4.3. Version. But I am still running the same old 4.0... I didnt do any cracks or customization to my phone just using as it is since unboxing.. please help me how it could be normal and how can I get regular updates . It also gives some message in startup .
Please help.
Thanks

Seems like your phone is rooted do you don't receive any official updates. You can boot in boatloader and see if your phone is unlocked, shutdown your phone and start your phone by holding power and volume down button at the same time. See what it says there, probably "unlocked" and s-on or s-off. After that chose recovery and see which recovery you have.

Go to settings - About Phone - Software Info and post what it says.
The device you bought was not new. It was unlocked and had or has a custom recovery installed.

If I have stock ROM (restored from nandroid) and reflashed stock recovery, I won't get OTA updates if my phone is rooted?

It looks like it is a development model (not DEV edition), which should not be sold anyways.
You can root and flash custom ROM, but I highly doubt that you will receive updates for a development model.

Thanks for your reply..

Well since your bootloader is already unlocked and you got the custom recovery, you can always flash the latest custom rom that has Android 4.2 or 4.3. Otherwise you can bring the phone back to stock if possible. They're how to guides on how to do that on XDA.

Well your bootloader is still 1.44, so you still have the option to get S-Off, which would allow you to remove TAMPERED, and also allow you to return completely back to stock using a RUU.
How familiar are you with all this? I would recommend reading some of the guides, but if you do want to get back completely to stock you'll probably need to S-Off.
Can you post "fastboot getvar all" (and remove your IMEI and serial number before posting).

No updates
thanks nkk and farang..
yes i have done few time changing stock and versions on my previous htc but please tell me after all this will it be like a regular phone and can get all updates and in future i dont need to change ( in short i wont be sticking to same rom )
thank you

Factory reset will just reset your current Rom. So you have two options, 1 flash an other rom, which is already 4.3 and learn what a custom Rom can do for you, welcome to xda or 2, you can revert to stock version by flashing the right RUU for your version, but you need s-off to do this. You should do this now your bootloader is still 1.44. Anyway whatever you gonna do, you will have some homework to do!

First you need to install the HTC drivers (http://d-h.st/4LL), and adb/fastboot sdk (http://d-h.st/ja1) credits to @vomer; please read through the first part of his guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506
Once you've installed HTC drivers, and unzipped adb sdk to C:\ADB, reboot your phone into bootloader -> FASTBOOT, connect your phone to the PC, FASTBOOT will change to say FASTBOOT USB.
On your PC: "CD C:\ADB" then type "fastboot getvar all" and post results back (remember to remove IMEI and serial number)

help me to get updates
hello guys.. thank you all for your help//
somehow manage to get these details about fastboot. . i am adding the picture.. i dont understand much but i have intuition that it might be asia ruu. please help me find one.. but one thing please if i go back to original stock then will i face the sim lock problem ( as i bought it in dubai and if the phone is from another country and by some other carrier on which only their sim works)? and main concern that if i will get all the regular updates launched by htc,
thank you

OK, that tells us you have a Vodaphone UK version, not Asia, not a problem.
Since you're still on 1.44 hboot, I would recommend to get S-Off, as you will not be able to do that later. Continue followoing vomer's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 and the original revone thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
Do the S-Off, no need to SuperCID at this time.
Why S-Off you ask, it would allow you to run any RUU (upgrade & downgrade) for any country and/or carrier.
Regarding SIM Lock, is your phone tied to any specific carrier at the moment? I assume not, since I dont think you're on Vodaphone UK, so the phone is/should arleady by SIM-unlocked.
Continue and report back, so we proceed with the next steps.

Revone S-off error 1 (HTC ONE Sprint 4.3)

Hello
I'm trying to use the system of Revone to make my device s-off.
I'm on 4.3 with hboot 1.55
I'm getting an error 1 when running the : ./revone -P
I'm on Mac
My device is rooted and boot loader is unlocked
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

On 4.3 -P will not work. I am unsure as to if you can obtain S-Off without executing -P BUT since I am already S-Off then I just go straight from chmod 755 command to -l and it relocks the bootloader, reason being because I am already S-Off but unsure as to if you can actually obtain S-Off doing -P. Should be able to skip that step and go straight to "./revone -s 0 -u

Gotcha-I've heard it over and over again, that if you are s-off, it saves you so many headaches.
I'm coming to the realization now. Lol! If something goes wrong or you're just not sure, you can always start from scratch-
with s-off. Have fun with your htc one...Enjoy

It worked for me..great superb and thanks to elvisypi
This is what I did:
1) Unlocked the boot loader
2) Installed TWRP (2.6.3) for sprint latest as the old ones wont work.
3) Rooted , updated SU.
4) Took a backup of my stock Rom
5) Installed Elegenica Rom V18.0 as it supports sprint too
6) Installed Root explorer
7) granted permission under SU
8) copied the same file to system/app
9) Installed Android terminal emulator instead of sprint unlock helper
10) check the file as it sometime shows copied but do check the size.
11) open android emulator and entered:
>su
>am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity
on the first attempt it didnt open anything so tried copying the file again to system/app
2nd attempt it opened the API window, went to sim lock option clicked on it and then i shutdown the phone
Inserted the GSM SIM card , restarted the phone, it automatically took GSM/UTMS mode.
again to recheck you can use *#*#4636#*#*
and select WCDMA preferred.
All works fine with GPRS too.
Have fun

I am pretty sure you need to use rumrunner for hboot 1.55, I dont think revone or moonshine will work, I am already s-off so I have not had to use rumrunner but give it a shot...

bootloader unlocked?
and you have custom recovery (CWM or TWRP), then you can pretty much flash any ROM you like.
If you just want to go back to stock (with or without root), then you can use this: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
select WIPE, select "stock recovery", ROOT and radio up to you
--> you'll receive future OTAs just fine, even with unlocked bootloader

1- OTA = Over The Air upgrade (when HTC releases a new update)
2- "relocked" bootloader is NOT ok: you will need to get a new unlocktocken from HTCdev, and unlock your phone
3- do you need to remove tampered or you dont care?
Basically, my question is, are you selling it or sending it back to warranty and need to have it look completely "out of the box", or are you keeping it and just want it working?

get one close to your firmware. can you copy/paste a "fastboot getvar all" (remove IMEI and s/n), and we can take it from there...

to get adb working in the first place dont you need to be able to usb debug it? in the process for adb to work? even the sideload as i was trying that earlier or maybe i did it wrong?
also my internal storage doesnt come up when i connect my usb to computer why is that? and will it affect custom rom? or stock rom even?

"internal storage doesnt come up when i connect my usb to computer why is that" -> cause you don't have a ROM?
USB Debugging is needed in a functioning ROM, not recovery. adb will work fine in recovery with or without any ROM.
so maybe, first thing to do is S-Off, you're on 3.62.401.1, so download and install: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
EDIT: use adb push or sideload to get it on your phone
flashable through custom recovery (TWRP or CWM), just like any custom ROM
select WIPE, select ROOT, unselect "stock recovery"
then use rumrunner to get S-Off.

1- are you in custom recovery? adb will only work in custom recovery, or functioning ROM (with USB debugging enabled)
2- if ^^^ yes, then u have to update/fix drivers, you on Win7 or 8 or 8.1, many reported issues with 8 and especially 8.1, can u use a Win7 pc?

[Q] which Firmware should be Flashed on Sprint 831 C ? Confused !!

Dear All,
Pl. somebody may guide me as to which Firmware shall be the correct one, to Flash with the details of my Handset as below:-
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.
Best Regards
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.
Edit: For CDMA in India or to get rid of activation pop-up, see here: http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/3...-on-htc-one-m8-hk-non-hk-edition-from-sprint/
Sent from my HTC One M8

Dear Sir,
First of all thank you so much for addressing so soon !! I appreciate that though travelling you took the courtesy for it.
Well, my device is GSM its not CDMA, Sir, my query is related to Firmware, can I use this file : 0P6BIMG_Sprint_HTC_One_M8_4.25.651.14_RUU.zip - hooked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173, if your answer is assertive I would go ahead with flashing in SD CARD, hope its not in contradiction with my HBOOT Version. Regarding unlocking Bootloader , Sir its already unlocked, do I need to do it again ?
Moreover, I would love to install the rom ViperOneM8 4.3.0, suggested by you as well.
Thank You once again.
Best Regards / Karan

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.
Best Regards/Karan

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

Dear Sir,
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.

I'm thinking this is a similar issue many users are experiencing. I have no idea on how to unlock or use this phone on any other network than sprint. I've personally had settings reset and lost data and continually have to set my phone back how I like it because of dying batteries. Sorry my man I cannot help with this problem, only verify that marshmallow seems very glitchy

R u able to unlock. i am also facing same issue.
if yes. Please let me know what all thing you tried.

If your phone shows invalid sim it means it is relocked, you can unlock again same methods mentioned in General forum if you are on android 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 SENSE rom (others claim it work on upto v 5 but it didn't work for me on 4.4.4 and later). You will need S-OFF to downgrade firmware to earlier than 4.20 or 3.30 (firmware version) because some new firmware will not run old SENSE roms.
[RUU][Firmware]Sprint HTC One M8 | 6.20.65x.3 | Stock Rooted ROMs | Updated 1.30.16 (you have to look for older firmwares in 1st/2nd post)
Sim unlock method
steps if you are on MM rom and SOFF:
1-Backup internal memory(will be erased with RUU)
2-Make full TWRP nandroid backup on external SD or copy it to your PC from internal memory
3-Downgrade FW (with RUU to avoid problems)
4-Install 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 Custom SENSE rom (I used Viper 1.5)
5-Follow same simunlock method
6-Upgrade with MM firmware twice (MM RUU will not install without this step)
7-Upgrade with MM RUU (optional step to make sure all partitions are upgraded)
8-Install TWRP and restore your full nandroid backup
9-Restore your internal memory backup which you did not forget to do, because your internal memory is now empty if you used RUU to upgrade/downgrade.

Hi,
I was on stock marshmallow and s-offed my device so I could downgrade.
Could you please describe what exactly needs to be done in step 3 "Downgrade FW"
Is it possible to run some RUU.exe to achieve step 3 listed above?

You don't need adb or USB debugging to use fastboot, you also don't need to boot the phone as long as it turns on to the bootloader use command "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img"
If fastboot cannot see your phone then install HTC drivers and check the cable to make sure the computer can see your phone.
Command "Fastboot devices" to see if you installed the drivers properly
