[Q] Trying to update firmware, but no version-main! - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm trying to update Android HD Revolution for M8 (unlocked, intl version, soff, supercid). Wifi wasnt working, and read that I need to upgrade to the latest firmware (I at first thought firmware was included with custom roms .. i appear to be wrong)
Which firmware to I download? I am looking here:
xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC%2FHTC_One_M8%2F
and there's tons! I fastboot getvar all and main-var is blank !
(screenshot attached)
Which one do I download?
Bonus question: Should I update root, or once it's already rooted, it can update itself?
Thanks guys. I'm OK at this stuff but no where near an expert.

Well first off, you're in the wrong section, this is HTC One M7, the HTC One M8 is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8
2nd, the missing version-main, is due to a bug in some TWRP versions, but hboot 3.16 would indicate you are still on a 1.xx firmware
there are several guides/collections in the M8 forums for firmware updates (i'm not going to post links here, so as not to confuse M8 vs M7), you should check vomer's, sneakyghost's (and several others) collections in the M8 section
some of the firmwares are "combined ones" (means they include all previous updates), others are incremental, so when in doubt, flash the firmwares incrementally
(on a side note, i used sneakyghost's 3.28.401.9 combined nowipe zip, and went from 1.54.401.10 straight to 3.28.401.9)

[Q] Help me Flash my HTC ONE with Stock ROM or JB Upadted ROM !!!

Hi Members of XDA...
This is my 1st post here...
I have tried my best to find it what i want..but its too complicated to see different methods and opinions..
Ok the story goes like this ... >
Bought HTC-ONE... liked Amazing Device..
Rooted the device with TWRP...successfully... But when the Jelly Bean update was released i was stuck because after downloading the 400 MB file, the phone would just restart and will go to the TWRP which gives me nothing when trying to update the JB file.
Also FYI, i have unrooted or relocked the device again for the updating process..
Ok first of all i am new to Android world... Dont know much of the technical terms... but less than a few.
So my questions are :-
1- How can i find my phones Model ID / MID or CID / Cidnum ID ??
2- How can i identify what set or version of ROM package is compatible for my HTC-ONE ???
3- Whats this RADIO ?
4- Whats S-On and S-Off... [Just read its Security on and off]. But should i need it ?
5- Whats this Odexed and De-Odexed ? And what my HTC-ONE has currently as stock ROM odexed or de-odexed ?
6-Will i get an .exe JB update for my HTC-ONE after identifying what version of ROMs i need ?
7-Where can i download the Revolution HD ROM ???
7-Finally , How can i flash any ROM to my HTC-ONE... with out hassle... [tried with HTC Tool Kits Update RUU option, but shows error cant load "xxxxx" ]
I know its a lot of questions.......... But Please Help Me ..
Waiting for all your experts replies ....
First time Android user myself, been reading for the last week and I've learned quite a bit though. All info can be found in XDA forums if you use search feature.
1- How can i find my phones Model ID / MID or CID / Cidnum ID ??
download Android SDK (adb/fastboot) and with the device connected in fastboot mode, type fastboot getvar all. It will tell you the versions of everything.
2- How can i identify what set or version of ROM package is compatible for my HTC-ONE ???
All ROM's say which device they are compatible with. I think all except for Sprint (in USA) are the same. The best way would be to use the HTC ONE _carrier_ forum and click on Android Development under there
3- Whats this RADIO ?
RADIO is the Antennae firmware used by your device for wifi/bluetooth/signal
4- Whats S-On and S-Off... [Just read its Security on and off]. But should i need it ?
Dont worry about this, this is one step further than ROOT. It grants you access to even more things like changing your CID/Model number so you get OTA updates designed for another carrier.
5- Whats this Odexed and De-Odexed ? And what my HTC-ONE has currently as stock ROM odexed or de-odexed ?
I forgot exactly what it was, I found the explanation in google.com basically deodexed lets you install some things odexed does not use google for this.
6-Will i get an .exe JB update for my HTC-ONE after identifying what version of ROMs i need ?
7-Where can i download the Revolution HD ROM ???
There are two versions, one based on Sense 5 and one on Google Edition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356654
step by step instructions can be found there, that is how I learned myself.
7-Finally , How can i flash any ROM to my HTC-ONE... with out hassle... [tried with HTC Tool Kits Update RUU option, but shows error cant load "xxxxx" ]
follow the steps posted on the ROM thread of your choice. I've read some ROMs require two steps (one flash ROM one flash boot image) but ARHD 12.2 does not, it is easy to install. There is a video in youtube that shows some guy installing ARHD 12.0 which is the same process.
Thanks to the above replier, you got thr answers you need, but most people wouldn't be bothered to answer so many questions. You need to search for these answers - it doesn't matter how new you are. This is my first HTC, that makes me new to most of the above questions. However I know all the answers due to common sense!

RUU CID HBOOT FIRMWARE Questions

I know these questions have largely been answered in bits and pieces spread over hundreds of threads, however, as a newcomer to the forum I can safely say understanding everything fully is a very daunting task. I'm having trouble grasping the relevance of RUUs, CID numbers.
I bought an HTC One from the carrier 'TIM' in Italy. It came with Hboot 1.54. I unlocked the bootloader, I installed a custom ROM, I rooted it, I tried out a custom kernel. I do not have S-off. I am confused.
1. The /boot partition on the file system contains both the bootloader(hboot) and the kernel, is this correct ?
1.a. If so, updating the kernel (by flashing it from recovery) is only affecting the /kernel subdirectory of the boot partition ?
2. An RUU functions as a 'stock restore' from what I understood, however it cannot be used to downgrade. I am uncertain about what this means. If an RUU is a 'stock restore package' from HTC- it includes stock kernel, rom, and recovery.
2.a. Will I be unable to use an Android 4.2.2 RUU to return my HTC One (currently running Maximus HD 14.0 (base 3.22)) to stock 4.2.2 then use OTA updates to get to stock 4.3 ?
2.b. Will the previously mentioned stock HTC OTA updates update my firmware to the latest version?
2.c. From past experience, when I talk about firmware I'm used to considering as the software running at the lowest level abstraction in the computer, aka hardware level. However, I have read posts on the forum where the firmware version IS the build number (in my case 3.22.1540.1 CL252721 release-keys) and that it describes the version of android that is running. Which is it ?
2.d. What is the deal with needing to have S-Off to update the firmware if it apparently updated with me normally? I went from build no. 3.17 in MaximusHD 13.0, to 3.22 in Maximus 14.0
3. On the HTCDev website there is a section called "Kernel Source Code, Binaries and Updates for HTC Android Phones", filtering for my TIM HTC One I get two hits one running Android 4.1, the other 4.2.2
4.1:
Type: CRC Kernel: 3.1.1 Description: 1.29.901.2_R
4.2.2:
Type: MR Kernel:3.4.1 Description: 2.24.901.1
What does the type designate ?
What does the number in the description represent ?
I know that the '901' references my carrier (TIM italy) what does the rest of that number mean? I have seen RUUs with number 2.29.x.x and cannot understand if they are more recent or older than RUUs with numbers 2.24.x.x or 3.x.x.x, for example on http://www.htc1guru.com it is mentioned that restoring to a 2.24 nandroid backup is reccomended as it will be compatible with the updated firmware, unlike a 2.29 backup. It is implied that 2.29 is OLDER. I am confused.
FINALLY, what is the relevance of the CID? Baseband version is the 'radio' firmware am I right ? How does this get updated?
Again I apologize for making such a long post, however it is hard to find a post containing all this information while making it clear how all these things are relevant to EACH other, I hope there are other people who share the same problem and that this may be of some help to them
answers
definitely not an expert but I will try to answer some of them.... In case I am wrong I am sure someone senior will rectify...
1. The /boot partition on the file system contains both the bootloader(hboot) and the kernel, is this correct ? As far as I know, YES, def Kernel not sure whether hboot is always there or not.
1.a. If so, updating the kernel (by flashing it from recovery) is only affecting the /kernel subdirectory of the boot partition ? As far as I know, YES
2. An RUU functions as a 'stock restore' from what I understood, however it cannot be used to downgrade. I am uncertain about what this means. If an RUU is a 'stock restore package' from HTC- it includes stock kernel, rom, and recovery. You can use it to downgrade. You make sure you have got the right hboot installed though, some RUUs require old hboots.
2.a. Will I be unable to use an Android 4.2.2 RUU to return my HTC One (currently running Maximus HD 14.0 (base 3.22)) to stock 4.2.2 then use OTA updates to get to stock 4.3 ? YES you can use Android 422 RUU t ogo back and get the OTAs. I have done it multiple times.
2.b. Will the previously mentioned stock HTC OTA updates update my firmware to the latest version? Updates firmware. YES.
2.c. From past experience, when I talk about firmware I'm used to considering as the software running at the lowest level abstraction in the computer, aka hardware level. However, I have read posts on the forum where the firmware version IS the build number (in my case 3.22.1540.1 CL252721 release-keys) and that it describes the version of android that is running. Which is it ? rRight with the first sentence. Version of not the Android but the update of the HTC
2.d. What is the deal with needing to have S-Off to update the firmware if it apparently updated with me normally? I went from build no. 3.17 in MaximusHD 13.0, to 3.22 in Maximus 14.0 ... sorry dont get the question?
3. On the HTCDev website there is a section called "Kernel Source Code, Binaries and Updates for HTC Android Phones", filtering for my TIM HTC One I get two hits one running Android 4.1, the other 4.2.2
4.1:
Type: CRC Kernel: 3.1.1 Description: 1.29.901.2_R
4.2.2:
Type: MR Kernel:3.4.1 Description: 2.24.901.1
What does the type designate ? Dont know this sorry,
What does the number in the description represent ? Dont know this sorry.
I know that the '901' references my carrier (TIM italy) what does the rest of that number mean? I have seen RUUs with number 2.29.x.x and cannot understand if they are more recent or older than RUUs with numbers 2.24.x.x or 3.x.x.x, for example on htc1guru it is mentioned that restoring to a 2.24 nandroid backup is reccomended as it will be compatible with the updated firmware, unlike a 2.29 backup. It is implied that 2.29 is OLDER. I am confused.
FINALLY, what is the relevance of the CID? this is a kind of an id number for your phone to be recognised eg. what region it belongs to etc.
Baseband version is the 'radio' firmware am I right ? RIGHT
How does this get updated? THERE IS A LINK SOMEWHERE IN THR FORUMS
First of all thanks for taking the time to read and reply, you're awesome.
What I meant about how the radio firmware is updated is, if upgrading my rom to base 3.22 from 3.17 updated the firmware accordingly why have I read EVERYWHERE that updating firmware requires s-off and that it must be done through fastboot having downloaded the according files that are linked on the forums. Additionally, why is the radio not updated as part of the firmware and what is the relevance of the carrier id? Does the radio firmware change according the carrier for optimal performance on whatever bands they operate on?
I'm sorry for all the questions haha today I thought my firmware would be stuck on an old version so I was trying to find out how to return to stock to update it, and understood that I couldn't because a) can't find RUUs for my carrier x.x.901.x and b) I have s-on w/ hboot 1.54. Which by the way didn't update and is still 1.54
Again, you are awesome

1. As @bcan13 said, as far as I know also, yes,
1a. Flashing a custom kernel will also effect modules and add certain mods. Some will make changes to /system so that the mods will be effective. They can also effect libs for things like camera improvements.
2. An RUU is an .exe program file from HTC, it rewrites everything one the phone; firmware, hboot, kernel, rom, recovery. Before starting the flashing process it checks your current firmware version, it will not run if it is not installing a newer version. It also checks CID and MID.
2a. I don't believe so, the current RUU has the same firmware version as your phone is currently running. You would need to wait until the 4.3 RUU comes out. Also, it would need to match your CID and MID.
2b. Official updates will upgrade your firmware version.
2c. Firmware usually contains; Hboot, radio, recoveries, and drivers, as far as I know.
2.d S-off is security off, without security off you can not flash unsigned .zip's in fastboot or ruu mode. This means the only way to update firmware is through an official HTC OTA or RUU, which is signed. S-off also disables many other system checks, but more on that later. What you see in Settings - About Phone - Software is not always accurate, it is just displaying what the build.prop says it should be, this does not mean that's what it really is. To see accurate information boot into bootloader - "fasboot getvar all"
3. These are Kernel source code. It's required under the GPL (General Public License) that all distributed software based off the linux kernel (which Android is) release the source codes. This is just HTC following that mandate, they mean nothing unless you plan on compiling a kernel from source.
The CID and MID are Carrier ID and Model ID. RUU's and OTA's and other official software are device specific. To flash a RUU the CID and MID must match. They are also used to control OTA's. (AT&T phones wont receive Developer's Edition OTA's and vice versa, because they have different CID's. When HTC pushes an update they only push it to phones with XXX__XXX CID. HTC Pushes out an update for the GPe phones, other phones wont get it because having a CID of GOOGL001 is required.)
Also, radio's are flashable via recovery.
Let me know if you need help with anything, or have any other questions. Also, more knowledgeable users feel free to correct anything I missed or got wrong.
I found a twrp backup that I believe I made just after unlocking and rooting my phone, I also believe I did an OTA update to 4.2.2, but otherwise it should be stock.
I use CWM now, how would I use this backup? I can install twrp but would this backup even show up? Would I also then have to flash the stock recovery after restoring from the backup?
Assuming the backup works, can I flash any stock recovery or is it also cid specific?
Finally, can I flash radio without s-off? If so, will any radio work or is it carrier specific!?
Thanks for your help!!

Flash TWRP. Restore backup. Download a 4.2.2 OTA and open it up. Pull out the recovery.IMG and flash it. That should work?
There are recovery flashable radio.zip's (not to be confused with fastboot flashable zips).
Everyone's experience with radios is different, so you'll have to try them. I have good reception with the latest GPe radio.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
But there isn't an issue with flashing a radio from a US base to an EU phone?
The backup I have is probably 4.2.2 so I shouldn't be able to download the ota from my phone, and I can't find ANYTHING for my cid on the forums, or through Google. Is the recovery image cid specific?

[Q] Update from really old Viperone version 1.1

I have read and read and cannot find a straight answer so I apologize for the new thread. I loaded the latest version of Viperone 1.1 back when I first got my phone. I did not root the phone through the Sprint official method if that makes a difference. Its been a REALLY long time since I loaded the ROM so I have a few questions.
1) I just noticed the ViperOne 5.8 has been released. Is this version and the 1.1 version related? I mean, did the 1.1 version officially get updated over time to the 5.8 version? The reason I ask is that I kept on going into Goo manager on my phone and it kept telling me there were no updates for my ROM. But then I log on here and see 5.8. Hate that I missed out on all the upgrade goodness.
2) What do I need to do to get to 5.8? I have updated my TWRP recovery to 2.6.3 as I read that was a requirement. I've also read to upgrade the firmware. What is that? I thought that was updated when I loaded the ROM, but I may be wrong. I just want to make sure I have the phone properly prepped before loading the 5.8 ROM.
3) Speaking of the 5.8 ROM, I have a Sprint phone (CDMA). I cannot find the Sprint version of the 5.8 CDMA ROM. The Sprint HTC One ViperOne thread directs me to the standard HTC One ViperOne thread for ROM download. Is the ROM the same for CDMA and GSM nowadays. I seem to remember them being different back when I did this originally.
4) What will happen to my pictures and text messages and such? Ihave backed them up through HTC Sync just in case, but it would be nice to not have to reload everything.
I had this figured out at one time, but its been so long, I'm now lost. Thanks in advance for your replies.
You need to search to find how to upgrade your firmware if that is suggested for the update. After that download the Rom you want and follow the instructions from that thread to flash it. your pictures will stay as long as you do not wipe that part in recovery. Your game data and such will be wiped for a clean install but you can back that up with third party apps such as titanium backup our others.

1) Same team different developer
2) Sounds like you firmware may be pretty old
The firmware thread is HERE Follow the instructions in the thread.
You will ned the latest radio/baseband it can be found HERE Flash in recovery.
Firmware is not included in any rom.
3) ViperOne has multi carrier support meaning it works on both GSM and CDMA (it will know which version to flash for you) you are correct GSM and CDMA roms are different...some devs support Sprint so read the OP to make sure there is Sprint support.
4) If you are s-on you'll have to re-lock your bootloader to be able to either update the firmware...meaning you will have to unlock again which will wipe your device.

So, I've done all that, but I am not understanding what "firmware" is. Is that the Android version, like 4.1.2 or 4.4.2? If so, I thought the ROM included the firmware since they all reference it being a KitKat based ROM or Jelly Bean ROM.
I've also looked for my ROM, but the only ROM I can find is not in the Sprint thread. Its in the non-Sprint thread. So is there not a Sprint(CDMA) and GSM ROM versions anymore? They used to be separate ROMs when I did this a while back. Are they the same ROM nowadays?

BD619 answered you pretty well here. But firmware is not the Rom, that is software. As stated above the m7 has been commonized and the flashable roms have a script built in to figure out if it is gsm or cdma but not every rom is like this. Sprint is really out there on their own, in a way, and not as compatible with other m7 variants. Just read plenty and make sure you KNOW what you're flashing before you flash it.

I am currently S-Off, so hopefully I don't have to worry about #4.
For #3, there is a dedicated Sprint ViperOne thread, so I believe they support Sprint, but that thread directs me to the non_sprint ViperOne thread for ROM download. I figured the ROM was the same now, but wanted someone to explicitly confirm that. Thank you for clearing that up.

If you are s-off no need to re-lock
The 5.8 rom in the main viper thread is the one you want it is able to tell you are on a Sprint device and will flash the correct files.
OK, I've tried to update to the firmware that was linked, but if failed with ...
ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I am at hboot 1.44 at the moment. The firmware link stated that I need to update to 1.56. How do I update to 1.56 and keep s-off?

[Q] Trying to update from a REALLY OLD Rom

Hey guy I have been doing research for about 2 hours now but can't really find a straight forward answer and I was hoping for the expertise of the users in this forum instead of thread crapping on my post. Here is my phones specs for my Sprint HtcONE (m7)
ViperROM 1.0.4
HBoot: 1.44 S-ON
Radio:1.00.20.0315
Recovery: TeamWIN 2.5.0.0
So yea, as you can see really old stuff lol. I have been away from all of this in a really long time and lost most (if not all) of my knowledge on updating. I am trying to obtain the latest available updates that Sprint released but I am not sure where and what to begin from. All the information I was seeking isn't really specific and if it is, it is specific to the subject at hand (i.e. updating from the last previous version) and not updating from such an outdated versions. I am interested in obtaining the latest radio, hboot, etc... for my sprint phone but also being able to put on modified roms. Ideally I would like to try out the new Viper Rom. Do I have to achieve S-OFF and then get the latest Sprint OTA update to have my phone fully updated to the latest software? If so, I tried going to the htc site and sprint site but cant find the latest updates. Where do I look? Does the update install all stock or do I still have the custom recovery? Any information to help me achieve the latest updates and moving to the latest Viper Rom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

... Dear 1st of all unlock your bootloader from htcdev, then go to rumrunner.us and get S-Off. Now you are ready for next step which is to update you firmware. follow the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910. After s-off flash the full firmware from the before link and then run latest RUU from the same link and you will be on latest firmware and stock rom. afterwards have fun with your device installing custom recovery and root ...

[Q] Want to remove TWRP and unroot

I apologize in advance if I should have posted this in a different area. Im not the best with that stuff.
As the title says, I want to remove TWRP and unroot my device. And yes I know there are many threads on this topic already, however none of them seem to actually get the job done. I have the Harmon Kardon edition for Sprint and I have been wanting to install this Lollipop update I got today.
So far, I have tried to use the RUU that a lot of tutorials seem to swear on, but when I start the process, it says that its not the correct version for my phone! (even though the tutorials say its for the harmon kardon eidtion)
Ive also used theUnlockrs tutorial and got stuck when there was no download for my CID number listed on the other xda developer post.
I then tried this tutorial and also couldnt find the correct files for my phone.
Heres what Im not understanding:
This isnt the first time I have rooted this device and unrooted it. I actually did this about 7 or 8 months ago and had no problem. Since then, I have removed all files and downloads that I used. SO WHY is everything wrong now? What am I doing wrong?
IF someone has the information I need to fix this problem, could you please help me? I just want lollipop!
Thank you,
sheer

Flash a stock rom.
Re-lock bootloader.
Flash stock recovery.
Take OTA.
Profit.
Side note it's not a good idea to wander outside the Sprint section because most threads refer to GSM devices.

Having issues finding the stock recovery file for the M8 H/K.
Want to install ViperOne m8 but need to update to 4.4.4 first.
Anybody has a link for the stock recovery?
I've downloaded the stock firmware and the recovery is in there but I don't which file is the recovery.
