So I want android 6 on my rooted sprint htc one m8. The update is available. Of course I don't have stock recovery, so I can't take it. I watched from youtube / watch?v=PPPT5J8xG6w(can't post links). When I get to readcid. The cid is 111111. Help?
I dont want to reset either
You can pull the stock recovery from the Full Firmware located in the RUU/Firmware thread.
Is there a forum that explains this process in more detail? I am more of a computer geek than an android one.

Hello there
I ordered a 32GB HTC One which is coming in about an hour and since I had a HTC One X before, I know that installing ROMs and such isn't as easy as it is on my Samsung Galaxy SIII. I am pretty sure the CID of my HTC One is going to be HTC__J15 like the One X (since that's for the whole Middle East) and so I was wondering what the latest JellyBean is for my device? Is it 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? And speaking of which, I found this website posted on this forum:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/category/49-m7/
But unfortunately I don't understand that codes affiliated with regions and such and any help would be much appreciated.
The phone I ordered is slightly used, only for 4 days, and with local warranty but I would like to install (or re-install if there's no newer JellyBean) the software so I can set it up as a new phone, and I am guessing that's done using the RUU, correct? And if so, which one should I use? I would like to completely format the device and set it up from the start.
And one final thing, would someone be able to link me to an easy rooting guide? And do I get the unlock token using HTC's developer section of the website and use fastboot like I did with HTC One X?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your time.

First of all I would just do a factory reset, assuming it is a factory default rom, and then leave it for a week or two to get used to it before going down the route of unlocking etc. Read through the One forums to learn all you can before customising.
There is a good guide here for unlocking, rooting, etc manually http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
A useful All-in-One toolkit to guide you through the process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Look through the One Android Development forum and you will find several custom Roms available which would be suitable for the International Version of the One http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2119
You will need a custom rom as once rooted and unlocked you won't be able to use an RUU nor will you be able to get HTC or carrier OTA updates.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I am going to use the phone as it is for a while and see how things work out. I would really like to install the bulletproof kernel which enables the HTC logo as a capacitive button because I am not liking the idea of the two buttons - I am just too used to having three.
The One is as easy to root and ROM as any other device. You DO NOT need to be concerned with the CID or RUU if you download Mikes stock 4.2.2 ROM. Its dead stock (with the option to root) and works without needing to change the CID or flash an RUU

Yeah I have used Android Revolution HD on several devices before and it is the perfect ROM. I already unlocked the bootloader and am in the process of installing recovery as well as downloading and installing ARHD. I was able to locate the Bulletproof kernel which enables the HTC logo as a menu button and it seems like the installation is done from recovery, very simple, is that really the case or is there more to it?

Its easy to flash the kernel but beware as these kernels are not based on the newest or even second newest source so it will decrease performance slightly when you compare apples to apples

Hi all,
I am new here and just started to learn a bit about android.
I have an AT&T HTC One M7 that I bought in US. I bought it with version 4.1.2 on it.
I upgraded it to 4.3 sense 5 (I don't exactly remember how...).
Now I'm out of US and want to upgrade it to 4.4.2 sense 6 (build 5.12.502.2) and don't know how to do it.
When I'm trying to do it via the software update i'm getting the message "No update is available...".
Can you please tell me what should I do? What file should I use?
Tnx very much

at&t phones must be connect to the at&t network to receive ota updates.
you could upgrade to 4.4 (sense 5.5) using the 4.18.502.7 ruu and then flash the ota update manually (flashing the update manually require s-off)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2659374
or you could flash any 4.4.2 sense 6 roms

OK, what is "HTCOne-32GB-ATT-5.12.502.2-TWRP-stock-unrooted" version file (~1.2 GB) and what is "ATT_Sense6_OTAPkg" file (~670 MB)?
What is the difference between these two and when should I use each one of them?
When you told me that "I can flash any 4.4.2 rom..." - what type of file you mean?

First one is a stock sense 6 Rom zip(full Rom).
Second is a ota for you but then you need s-off ( only s-off your phone when you need it. You don't)
There are several threads where you basically can learn how everything works. There is a beginner thread in the general section. In simple words: unlock your bootloader, get a custom recovery (cwm/twrp) and then you can flash any android 4.4.2 Rom.
But first of all I strongly recommend you to read all the "beginner's flash/unlock guides". Don't do something if you don't know the consequences. You could brick your phone and it is just usable as doorstopper.
I recommend you using a HTC one m7 toolkit. Step by step you will learn how to do something.
And you don't need s-off.

Thanks Phillip.
Where can I get the exact instructions how to install each one of these files?

If you've got any further questions, just ask.
I recommend you to use a toolkit for boot loader unlock and flashing a recovery because that's the simplest way. And the rom: there is no the ONE ROM but I can recommend you insertcoin (now 3.0.5) and maximus 42.0

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.

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.
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
Edit - wrong forum, and your problem is googleable.

yeah you say that, but apparently it isnt. Thats why I was looking for extra help..
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.

Hi, need some help/Info on this. I have an M8 (Sprint) running ViperOne 5.0.2, it is rooted of course, S-Offed, & the bootloader is unlocked. I want to sell this and I wanted to return it back to stock if it was a quick & easy way. I was wondering if I could just run the latest HTC MM RUU & let it do all the work but I think I read somewhere that it's not that simple. Is that possible? I mean would that hurt anything or break something? If so what about pointing me to a STOCK Sprint ROM that I could just flash, I haven't been able to find one. Thanks In Advance.
You'll need to update your firmware first, then run the RUU afterwards. Check out OMJ's firmware thread for more info.
