Just got this phone

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hampered" the performance of your phone by flashing Viper, other than the fact the version of Viper you flashed is outdated.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I'm very well aware that this my rom is outdated, but I cannot seem to be able to return to stock to update the firmware in order to install the latest versions.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.

Not getting OTA update, on stock GPE

Hello,
I bought a GPE off ebay after the news that the m7 would be getting lollipop. It came with all the books/boxes and the GPE box matches the s/n on the phone so I'm sure its real. Even did a HTC support chat they said mi IMEI and S/N match a real one.
However I still have not gotten the update yet, I rather not unlock and install twrp just for the update. Is there a way I can check to see why I haven't gotten it? I know some people who did the conversion got the update. Is there an easy way to verify I have the correct CID and MID? I know people had to change those to convert.
Thank you!

You don't have to install twrp for the ota. Just download the ota directly (search the forum) then install it via the stock recovery. Directions are on the forums for that.

I tired that but every time I choose from phone, the phone just reboots?

It does that on a S-On GPE. I think you need to be S-Off to manually flash it.

^^this

I was able to achieve this by doing a factory reset as some posted on another thread. You can close this thread or lock it.

[Q] Just want it back like i just got it...

I rooted my phone thinking it would benefit me, like it did on my EVO 3D, however i cannot have been more wrong. First off all the ROMS i tried (CM11, viper, insert coin,) had either a buzzing noise from the top speaker, or the WIFI didn't work. Second i cannot update the firmware using the OTA update. I download it then try to install and all that happens is it boots into TWRP. I just want to know if there is a way to get it back to normal like i just got the phone. I tried finding my Cid and doing the unlocker method, but i didn't find any Cid labeled spcs_004. Is there just an RUU i can run that will get my phone back on track with sprint? I have the Harmon Kardon model of the M8 BTW. Also i never updated my phone since i got it, so i'm on firmware no 1.54.xxx.xx (i don't know the rest of the numbers off hand).

Go to the thread in the link below. Download the 3.31.654.2 RUU to your computer. Connect your phone and computer via USB cable and boot your phone into Fastboot USB mode. Open up a command terminal with your ADB/Fastboot folder, then re-lock your bootloader using the command fastboot oem lock (unless you're S-off). Leave your phone and computer connected and from either Fastboot USB mode or while booted to the Android OS double-click the RUU to start the installer. Follow the prompts on your computer screen to install the RUU. For more info hit the second link in my sig and read the RUU section of that guide.

Oh my gosh. If this helps get me back....
I screwed up and tried to flash ARHD v32 without being s-off and I've been without my M8 for 24 hours. And freaking out for the last nine. I knew it couldn't be that difficult to get back to reality.
BOOM shaka lakka!
I was just getting ready to call Sprint and go into a repair facility with some crazy story about how this all happened.
Thank you!:good::good::good:
Time to do some serious reading before I attempt that again.

Okay so I did originally mess up rooting and flashing my HTC One m8 sprint edition. Since that day I succesfully (After 8 hours of horrible things) got it back to factory reset with the exception of S-off and the super cid. The thing is I dont want the super Cid because i DO want the OTA Update. The problem is I was a noob and forgot to save the original sprint CID number. So long story short. Does anyone have the Sprint CID number. Unless the Super CID number gets OTA updates for Stock. PLease and Thanks

I have SuperCID and still receive OTA notifications.

Update to reset stock htc one m8
So after doing more research I found that the image that I grabbed for stock android came from a H/K Edition. In fact the phone identifies itself as the as the Harmon edition ( I got the RUU from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173) I was curious as you said that you yourself got OTA updates. Aside from lollipop, which updates did you receive. I only ask because I have heard of phones bricking up after doing an update and then something going wrong because they tampered with their tech. I DO want lollipop, but if it means losing my phone, then it is obviously not worth it.
ALSO looking at that website, I have verified that I got the NON-H/K edition....I am at a loss, I can try flashing it again, but honestly, I hate even looking at fastboot or any bootloader for the time being. Push comes to shove I will go down the rabbit hole again, but I do not want to risk a brick like before.
SIDENOTE: Not sure if its significant, but after flashing that RUU, I lost the weather widget at the top of blinkfeed, It only shows something such as "HIGHLIGHTS" If you would like I can post screen shots.
I am sorry to be such a noob and/or burden, and if you can help i would very much appreciate that if not, could you please direct me to a place where I could figure it out. Possibly a link or a person.
PLEASE AND THANKS!!!

I don't actually install the OTA I flash the previous version stock rom and download the OTA, then pull it from my phone so the devs can use it to build roms and pull the firmware.
It's pretty hard to brick these devices unless you do something really crazy. As long as you can get to recovery or bootloader it's only soft bricked meaning it can be saved.
I would suggest changing your CID back to stock
Code:
fastboot oem writecid SPCS_001
Then run the latest RUU that will put you where you need to be to take the OTA when it comes.

[q] m7 at&t ruu

Hello, guys!
Long storry short - my HTC One M7 died, and they repaired it by changing the motherboard, but now it's AT&T branded of some sort ( it wasn't before, i'm from Bulgaria, we don't have AT&T here ). So everywhere there is AT&T stuff all around the phone, it boots with the AT&T logo and stuff, my CID is changed to CWS_001 .
So my main problem is that hence we don't have AT&T in Bulgaria, i can't get the OTA update for Android 5.0. My android version is 4.4.2, Sense 5.5, Soft number 4.18.592.7 and when i click the AT&T software update icon it says there is no new updates at this time.
I downloaded the RUU from HTC where it's supposed to be the right one for my phone, followed the instructions but just right after the updater starts, it gives me an error which says that it's not the correct RUU and i should find the correct one. I've searched a lot for the right RUU here in the forum, but i got nothing. Plus i don't really understand the whole root, flash stuff and procedures so that's not an option either. Plese help me find the correct RUU for my phone and install the Lollipop and Sense 6 update

I think you need to be at least on kitkat firmware to be able to flash lollipop ruu (at least 6.xx.502.x)

so i should install kitkat RUU and then this one?

htc one m8 carrier unlocked reboots after backup restore

Greetings,
Long story but all well known, I tried to make my phone a developers edition, I tried RUU's could never get them to install but once via fastboot, I don't even remember which ruu's I tried but it's driving me insane, phone is S-OFF and unlocked, CID is super CID and MID is sprint's like I THINK it originally was, the restore went throughbut when I start the phone ir reboots when trying to go through the initial setup after it complains about an app crashing.
Model is m8_whl, it all started because I could not get the phone to update to marshmallow through OTA. At one point I flashed the firmware and I believe that it the issue but I have no clue as to what firmware should I be using.
Help please?
