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/

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dear All,
I am on Sprint HTC One M8 (831C), was install with 5.02 - RUU H/K exe, S-OFF, using the GSM Carrier Vodafone- India.
Four days back was roaming out from my state, while in flight I kept it in air plane mode, the phone felt down and the problem emerged.
NO sim Card, also the phone's camera has is not working. I unlocked the the bootloader, installed twrp and swiped the Bad boyz Sprint ONE M8 Lollipop HK v3.2, assuming that I may resolve the issue but no Luck.
I have tried the sieempi.eu tick, also from settings but it says that your phone will switch to CDMA mode.
Request experts, to suggest the workable solution please...
Regards
Karan
Make full twrp/cwm backup. Clean flash any custom 4.4 kitkat rom, and do simunlock using this method. Restore full backup. If it still doesn't work then you probably broke the simcard/reader when you dropped it.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
and select GSM/UMTS
here the solution

Hello,
I am facing similar problem with my HTC M8 Sprint HK version. It was there on stock recovery with official 6.0 MM version. I am using GSM sim with the phone. I just did a factory reset from settings and since then I am facing unusual problem.
When I make or receive calls, I do not hear audio from earpiece ( other person can hear me) but switching to speaker works fine. I have tried many steps so far but still no luck . It works rarely but problem arises again.
The Device is currently S-On with boot-loader unlocked and TWRP 3.0 installed with Firmware version 6.20.654.3
I tried the steps below:
-- Did factory reset again.
-- Changed the network mode from GSM/UMTS to GSM and automatic mode.
-- Tried with a different sim.
-- Used code +#+#3424#*#* and checked the hardware using audio test. It works fine.
-- Unlocked the boot-loader and installed TWRP.
-- Tried Bad Boyz ROM 6.0 but still the issue is same.
-- Checked in Safe mode and the problem is there as well.
-- Used Code *#*#4636#*#* and tried various network mode.
-- Tried to flash ViperOne 5.0.2 and NuSenSeven 6.0 but they failed to install.
I tried searching a lot but did not find a proper fix. The call and Data (2G/3G) works along with data hotspot.
Please anyone help me in fixing the issue. This problem of call audio is very annoying. I would be glad to provide more information if required.
Thanks in advance...
hi guys:
i have same problem, I bought a refublished htc m8. it has custom rom ice mashmallow 6.0. firmware sprint.
Greetings,
I have unlocked my Moto X 2014 victara, and installed TWRP & a costume ROM, now I am able to boot the device, but it shows no service, SIM card was detected, but no service, I did the trouble shooting as the following:
1- I checked IMEI number, it is present
2- I dialed *#*#4636#*#*: tried to enable RADIO but I couldn't
3- Flashed modem and fsg.mdm from stock ROM by fastboot, but still not working
Now even if I want to go back to stock ROM by fastboot commands it pauses at startup, but when I flash a costume ROM it goes alright, except the SIM card no service issue
Any help please?
UPDATE: I fixed it.
I downloaded Kitkat and Lollipop from this website:
http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php
Then I flashed 4.4.4 using fastboot followed by 5.0 using fastboot too
There are a lot of article in the community explains how to flash stock ROMs
My problem was I was using the Brazilian firmware while I have the US version. Now everything is going great.
I bricked my G7 Plus and finally got it restored with the wrong firmware image (T-Mobile Revvlry+). It no longer has an IMEI or radio. Fastboot getvar all does return the IMEI correctly and it also reports radio: TMO and ro.carrier: retla.
I would like to get it working again with a stock rom.
Is there one available?
Is there a way to get the radio working and IMEI restore with the T-Mobile rom?
Stock ROMs from Lolinet:
Moto G7plus roms
But you need to find out what folder to pick according to your 1965 model.
Learn about the EFS and how to make a EFS backup, this is essential. It seems to happen often to loose cell network or IMEI with the G7 plus.
My phone is the same and got many problems when i unlocked it and tried to install LineageOS, fortunately they all be solved and now it is ok.
how about the status of your phone now?
black - no display?
slot a/b error?
fall to an old bootloader?

Lineage OS 11242020 build installed. No WiFi, no IMEI (although the IMEI shows in getvar), no service.
first i install the newest version (Lineage OS 20210105), it is no service.
then back to 20201124, now it's ok.
i'm not sure if this problem is caused by LineageOS.
so may be change to another version is a solution.
otherwise, if you have a stock rom, you can reflash the BP/BL and try it again.
below is the Tinyfastboot, it's a useful tool can help you try it.

Did you have any luck finding the ROM for the XT1965-T (Non-TMo, Moto)?
I have the same model, XT1965-T. In my attempts to flash Lineage (which included hard bricking it and then a bootloop) I did have to flash blankflash (to fix the hard brick) and then later a stock boot.img from the stock TMO ROM from lolinet, but I have not flashed any other parts of the stock TMO ROM.
My fastboot getvar all also identifies the device with radio: TMO and ro.carrier: retla.
From what I can tell, this is the same device that Moto licensed to T-Mobile as the "Revvelry+" and now Moto is selling it without a carrier lock. So it would not surprise me if some T-Mo remnants were there...
Would be interested to hear from someone who has a fresh unmodified device what their fastboot getvar output says.
For this phone, unlock and flash TMO rom didnot change the info of " radio: TMO and ro.carrier: retla. ", It was these at the beginning .
use twrp to make a nandroid backup especially the persist partition and do not wipe the persist partition that's were your imei is stored
PROBLEM SOLVED. See my post.

My main phone its a g8 plus but I bought this "T" unlocked version from amazon to my wife. She wants YT Vanced with her google acc so I decide to root this phone.
Fortunately I been use my G8+ for while until I brick and unbrick this... Then I learn what can and cannot do with this motorola phones. The first reason for do not touch the stock firmware in this phone its because Lenovo rescue software reconize this G7+ like XT1965-3 version, not XT1965-T version. I tried "rescue" with this (XT1965-3) firmware on the Lenovo software and do not work. So if you bricked it, its probably sure that software do not work.
(I tryed this before unlock bootloader)
The second warning its after you unlock the bootloader, if you proceed to install TWRP and choose flash the main partition your done. I guess this phones still recive security patchs (the last one was feb 21) So, even if your do not root but flash TWRP into the main partition you can not be able to "update" your phone again.
(What I do was temporally flash TWRP from cmd to install magisk).
This phone its a "master piece" very useful and cheaper but this version could be a pain in the As*. I still figured out how to get back into android 9 becuase this brought android 10 outted box. I guess we can got a little more battery with this version... So any suggestion are welcome : )
Just picked this phone up at best buy (119 new) and unlocked bootloader, and installed pixel exp rom and so far no problems( haven't tried rooting yet but will)

No. I just got this from Motorola as replacement from my previous Moto G7 Plus which had screen problem. But the one send me as replacement looks new but as soon as turn it on and it try to connect to Wifi during initial setup it reboot and keep doing. Seems to either issue with OS or wifi hardware. Moto is not willing to replace as it just passed warranty period. Please help.
