I bought an HTC one M8 verizon, because I read it was unlocked and it was at a great price. Unfortunately it wasnt unlocked. I've tried installing android revolution 8.0 onto it to make it the international version, but it never works, system keeps force closing. I was wondering if anyone is having the same problem or can help out. I do have the phone permanently rooted via a"stock" rom, S-off'd, Bootloader Unlocked via HTC dev, and SuperCID on. I've looked all over and can't find a thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried every variant of AR 8.0, and I even tried AR 8.1, could it be the stock firmwire im coming from?
I try the variants and all I get is systemui shutdown and smartcardservices shutdown, ANY help would be greatly appreciated...
Should I try finding an older version of AR?

Hello!
I have a Verizon HTC ONE M8 that no matter what it won't download the new update. I've bought 3 of them (identical) 1 month ago from Ebay. One of them was able to receive the update. On the other two i keep receiving the following message: "We were not able to download this update. To retry, go to Settings > Software update. "
My device is S-off (after a lot of effort). I've tried to get rid of all the bloatware and many more by flashing a new ROM. I have tried flashing ViperROM, ARHD, Clean ROM using TWRP Recovery, without any success. All of my attempts got stuck at the booting screen for more than 30 minutes without any success of booting into the OS. Clean ROM even refused to flash properly. Keep in mind that all the ROMs that I've flashed were based on 4.4.2 firmware, the one that my phone came with, not 4.4.3. I've searched on this forum for a flashable 4.4.3 OTA update, but no success either. What's to be done !?!? All my attempts of installing a new OS failed. Please HELP!
P.S: I'm a newbie when it comes to all of this stuff. First time doing S-off/ installing custom ROMs.

You probably won't be able to take the OTA with a custom recovery, it has to be stock. Best bet is to flash the 4.4.3 firmware from the development section since you're s-off, then flash an already rooted stock 4.4.3 rom. It's been a while since I've done this stuff so if I mentioned some incorrect info, my apologies.

I flashed back again the stock ROM and i keep receiving the same message over and over again. No TWRP recovery this time, just the red triangle. I guess my best bet is to try and flash the CleanROM ODEX 4.4.3 as mentinoned here: @branmuffin17
I'll come back with the results.

If you are on the old firmware you need to update firmware separately.
And btw, if you freeze just one system app that can cause a Vzw ota to fail.
Question.....Is the phone active on your account? I also had one in the drawer and got the same error till I switched it to the active device on my account.
It honestly sounds like there is something preventing the ota to even download, if that's the case use dottat's ruu to return to a clean slate, if it still won't download the OTA then I would be willing to bet money that they are defective or not genuine Verizon M8s And if I were to guess it's more of the latter that would be the only valid reason every Rom you've tried fails no matter what.

Based on what you said i went on some websites to check the IMEI/ESN of the device it seems to be OK. After that i went to the Verizon Wireless website to try an activate my phone and when it comes to "Enter your Device ID to check eligibility", I type in the IMEI and the following message apears: "The phone associated with the Device ID you entered is not compatible with the Verizon Wireless network." To me is strange because on the back of the phone it says Verizon 4G LTE. When it comes to the identity of the phone it is a HTC6525LVW. The phone is GSM Unlocked (I use my phone in Europe so i needed it to be GSM unlocked). More strange it is to me that i don't receive the same message when i type in the IMEI of the others Verizon GSM unlocked HTC's ONE M8 that i bought along with this one.
I guess my only chance is to flash the new firmware @here[and after that flash the Deoxed 4.4.3 Stock Clean ROM @here. If it's not going to work i really don't know what's else it's to be done.

The message from the vzw site tells me something is not right.
Google goophone or knock off gs4, the goophone also has an m8 now too... Even with all the branding and everything. And I've seen some gs4s that run what appears to be TouchWiz cloned to a T.
I'd try calling vzw and talk to a rep and it's possible that they could give you more info other than just what the site said.

So I did what I've said:
1. Installed firmware provided here @Tigerstown
2. Installed the Odex Stock Rooted ROM proivede here: @scrosler
I am pleased to announce you that everything is fully functional now
Phone is showing:
Android Version: 4.4.3
Software number: CleanROM 2.0.0 (after flashing it from @here)
Baseband version: 1.09.20.0702
Bulid number: 2.21.605.2 CL362279 release-keys
After managing to flash the 4.4.3 version of Android all went up without any problem. Tried to ARHD but it's still not booting. After that installed ViperROM which went up all, but to me it is not the pure HTC Sense 6 experience i was looking about and all that customization is to much for me, so i flashed CleanROM 2.0.0 and here I am. Everything is as it should be: no bloatware, pure HTC Sense 6, optimized performance... and above all the mobile hotspot is now fully functional, not to mention the EXT SAVER.
As a conclusion, to all that guys that are not able to update to the 4.4.3 version via the OTA updates provided by Verizon do what I did above (steps 1 and 2).
ATTENTION: Your device needs to be S-Off and bootloader unlocked + custom recovery!!!
Another thing worth to be mentioned: it would be great if the admins could flag this thread, cause I've seen so many users on different forums that are not able to update via the OTAs.
In the end i would like to thank to all the devs out there for their work and to the users for their support. Cheers!:highfive:
I have a VZW htc one m8, Firmware 2.21.605.2 and am trying to update the firmware to 3.28.
Every time I try to update to 3.28 i get the error FAILED (remote: 41 model id check fail).
I have super CID on and tried everything i can think of.
I would love to check out some of the roms but I dont have much luck with them.....might be a different issue all together but They get stuck on the HTC screen and do not load.
Can anyone offer any help as to get the firmware updated.
I tried this on ADB fastboot
Wrong software Update

You can not Update your HTC M8 Verizon with this Update who is specific for the HTC M8 Developer Edition *
new software update will come soon to our Verizon model HTC M8, we have to wait.
You have the latest updated software version 2.21.605.2 no need to update.
Another question then, why the heck would several roms just get stuck on the HTC screen and never load into them?
for example the Android Revolution HD 21. Installs just fine but get stuck on the HTC screen and never moves.
Thanks for the reply

You need to have the latest firmware for that ROM to boot...We don't have that just yet...should be soon. Only flash firmware specific to Verizon or you will hard brick your phone. SuperCID is pretty useless for the Verizon model for that reason.

You are getting stuck in those rom because you are trying to flash incompatible Roms* for the M8 Verizon, you should stick
with the right VZW HTC m8 thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development
also if you still having problems with any rom here then flash other Custom recovery
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8_wlv
user reporting version 2.7.1 0 TWRP as working in all roms. but you can try the new one first.
You have the lastest build software VZW 2.21.605.2 , check your (firmware) Baseband version should be 1.09.20.0702 (new)
if you got that you will able to flash any Rom in the thread above
Hi, I'm new here and I thought you guys could help with my problem. I recently tried to install a custom rom on my M7 (CM12) and it flashed successfully however now it won't get past the first screen when it boots. I have tried about 4 different CM12 roms, both unofficially and officially and it keeps happening. I have tried the Maximus (per this forum) Sense software and still nothing. It just sits on the bootup screen. My phone is basically useless at this point. I am running a HTC One M7 Factory Unlocked (US Warranty, which has been voided) on AT&T here in the states. Thanks in advance.
