Hello dear M8S comunity,
im searching some Testers^^ i buyed a used M8S that had a dead emmc ( never unlocked still in warranty) my M8S is send to HTC for warranty repair but now i want to start some developing for M8S
for those who dont know me... i had never developed for an HTC only for sonys but im sure we can get something
so what do you need?
- having a unlocked bootloader
- stock android 6
- some skill with adb/fastboot
- rooted device
- a full backup and a working recovery.img
what my plans are:
- first get a stable twrp build against my sources
- after that try getting a cm14 booted
- after that we will see
anyone wants to help me?
if yes try to boot this:

with fastboot boot ...not flash it
nobody? ;-(
Most of us own a M8.
Does Android 6.0 require a different version of TRWP than CM12.1?

Why do you need Android 6.0 as a base for CM14 (Android 7)?

cause you need to start somewhere... and if i would have a nougat base i would use it xD but this phone doesnt have one... so starting with android6.0 and going forward by adding changes necessary to bopt cm14... then adding fixes...
but firstly i need to know if twrp is fine ( would mean kernel is ok )

Is so hard to search? I find it here too!
@voidzero Can you add it to your site?

The 3.0.2.1 was not starting! Maybe because of so much compression.

I was not being rude, I was asking why you are on a subforum for a phone completely different hardware wise to yours, thus making anything you post about the phone irrelevant on this subforum.

Take care that from MM the firmware don't allow anymore to just use "fastboot boot ..." U need to use htc_fastboot and it have to be flashed in order to use it.
Also the other phones from HTC like M8 is A9 or other do the same, U can see in there specific threads.
I will like to help but mine is also in service (broken lcd).
Respect !

nah it doesnt must be flashed to use it... if you htc_fastboot boot recovery.img then the recovery.img will be loaded to ram and then booted.... not flashing anything ^^

Hi all
I want to replace the bootloader and install root and maybe CM.
But I was looking for the original bootloader and more importantly, the original firmware so in case I do not want to stick with CM or want to send it in for warranty, I can reset it all.
Could somebody point me to where I can download the needed files?
Thank you guys and girls
I need to inform you that you cannot replace the bootloader. You can only unlock it. Once that is done your warranty is void.
Now I am not sure if that works so someone will have to confirm or you will have to google it, but the RUU resets your phone to stock.
Here is a link to the GolfU RUU
Alternatively you can flash stock ROM, recovery and kernel from this thread right here.
Happy flashing, any further questions you are welcome to ask :3

Iam sorry if my post out of topic here.
I dont want to be rude by PM any devs here, so I just ask here.
I sold my xperia mini, and choose something new and unique.
Acer Liquid C1, relatively cheap for me as a student.
Its pack an intel z2420 chipset, nearly same like Razr I.
The bad news is this phone only sold in asia.
So, currently no development so far until now.
I have got a hand on an OTA update file, and decrypted it.
Its a JB update, stock boot.img and recovery.img dumped.
Any developers here can help me to make a working custom recovery?
I cant sync CM repo because of connectivity problems.
And my old notebook powered by amd and nvidia, seems cant get along nicely with linux os until now.
I will upload my stock boot.img and recovery.img, if thats needed.
Maybe if there is a working recovery, more developments available.
So sad to see a phone quickly disappear in market, because of no development goes on.
Thank you
lol

Been communicating back and forth between here and and AndroidForums, Shinru has been working hard on it but we need more help. We can't create a custom recovery without root, and we can't get root without a custom recovery. It's a vicious cycle and we're stuck.

Hi everyone,
As some of you may know, due to Sony cracking down on the beta program, it's impossible to share the new Beta firmware with everyone. @niaboc79 asked me if I could try to do a system dump and surprisingly, it worked fine with ADB.
I'm not really sure what you guys can do with it but I thought I may as well share it with everyone so you'll find it in the link at the end of this post.
I'm uploading it to Mega right now, it's pretty heavy (over 2 gigs) so please be patient but I should think it'll be ready in an hour or so.
Update: link provided at the bottom of the post
Have fun with it and if it is of any help, I'll post future Beta system dumps if and when they become available.

Why do you guys keep posting these questions in development section? Its clearly written that its a system dump from the new Beta update.
ITS IS NOT A ROM, this is not ready for users to flash, this is a dump for developers to work with and hopefully create a working flashable ROM.
Please dont spam and wait for a flashable version.
People just dont like to read op or comments,anyway this will probably go out of beta in a week or two,same as last update did.Why such haste then,just dont brick your phones guys by trying to get this FW in weird ways,there will be a flashable soon
I don't know if it's possible to extract the boot.img without su privileges, if it is can someone provide me with how to do it and I'll gladly help.
And yeah, it's pretty obvious that this isn't a rom but it's harmless in the sense that in the current state, nobody can actually flash anything accidentally and brick their phone. So, I'm leaving it up as it is and people can do whatever they want, I'd be happy if a rom could be made out of this but I certainly don't pretend to have the skills to do it myself which is also why I'm only sharing what I can.

You will have to download the firmware you are using now and will have to use Huawei update extractor to extract recovery.img
Both these you can just google and find easily imo.
Or you can use the tool mentioned here to find a firmware for your phone, whichever works best

You need to flash the recovery of the firmware you are using.
I guess flashing MM recovery won't hurt as all recoveries are same but I am still learning and this is just a guess so flash the recovery of the firmware you are using now.
