Hi all
I have a verizon one m8 which runs stock 4.4.2 it is rooted, s-offed by sunshine and has TWRP recovery.
The LTE bands are open but when there is an available LTE network there are some network problems and many disconnections occur. (mainly when entering the LTE area)
I tried some various fixes but nothing worked so I want to update to a customized lollipop firmware.
I did search a -lot but didn't find what are the steps to update.
Can anyone guide or direct me please?
Huge Thanks
Parnuk
If you are just looking to update the firmware here is a link for you. If I were you I would consider a newer ROM to go along with the new firmware.

thanks!
Some more questions please :
Can my current Rom run with this newer firmware?
Will it still be rooted?
What are the chances to get bricked
To get a newer Rom, should I wipe and then install it from twrp after the firmware update?
last one: this all has nothing to do with the recovery, right?
Sorry for the nooobity, it's all so different comparing to my old SGS

Great, the latest twrp didn't work on my current firmware.
I have an older one, can I update it after the rom?

You can but the chances of something going wrong are higher. Flash TWRP with fastboot, then firmware with fastboot, then ROM with TWRP is your best bet.

VRUCML1 is the most recent baseband. You can flash full firmwares up to MF1, but only flash the ML1 baseband (or radio, modem.) They can all be found here as well as an explanation as to why you can flash only the radio on ML1:

Thank you for that. I read it once and didn't understand it. Read it again and made a little more sense of it. Came across this
1.) Install d2vzw_VRBMF1_firmware.zip
2.) Install d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip
Can I just use twrp to flash these? That is my current recovery.

Thank you for your assistance. On both threads. Now I just need to find a tether app to use.
Hello? Yes, I'm a noob. I tried to read and understand, but was not able to.
I have bootloader unlocked and rooted 4.4.2 stock in my m8.
I want to install the 4.4.3 roms.
My simple question would be what are the steps to get 4.4.3 radio? installed
wait to make it clear you only want the radio of 4.4.3 or the whole rom ?
but if you want to install the rom you need to have sometype of custom recovery after you installed that (you can do it through rom manager app on google play)
after that choose your rom that you wanted to install and then just flash it using the custom recovery

You didn't mention your carrier, but essentially you want to update to the latest firmware first, then flash a 4.3 ROM. To get to the latest firmware you either take an OTA from your carrier, which requires being completely stock with stock recovery and no changes to system, or flash a firmware file that someone has extracted from the OTA package. The latter is imo easier if you are already on a custom recovery. The development forum for your carrier likely has a post dedicated to updating firmware.

Go to link i posted to get your vzw firmware up to date. An fyi when you said radios you meant firmware an the radios is inside the firmware zip. After you update firmware you can flash 4.4.3 ROMs.

I am attempting to update my hboot from 3.16 to the current (which I think is 3.19) and I am just not having any luck finding what I need to do. I'm not new to Android at all, just HTC. Is there a firmware.zip that can be used for this in fastboot?
I am trying to update to the newest TWRP so I can flash CM12. I did get TWRP 2.8.x.x flashed but was stuck at the rebooting into recovery screen. Rolled back to 2.7.0.2 for now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/help/cm12-htc-one-m8-hboot-3-16-t2986339 I found this thread for the AT&T version, but I know the VZW is a little different. Is there a developer edition for VZW?

VZW M8 Master RUU/Firmware Collection
Got it updated via your .exe thanks.
Could I update the hboot without having to install a new ROM? Im on OSX so i cant use the exe file.

Yes you can. You can use fastboot to flash the 4.4.4 firmware I have posted which would update everything you need to be all up to date with no need to update ROM if you choose not too.
Thank You! Updating htboot solved all the issues I was having. (5mins boot + stuck in recovery boot with latest twrp)
It would appear in my fixing of the hboot I have broken my GPS again. Finally got it working on the ruu, but nothing in cm11.
A factory reset in the stock ROM with stock recovery wipes additional partitions that are vital to GPS. I would try that if wiping is a possibility.
I reinstalled the ruu then wiped and installed cm11 and it is working. Running cm12 now.
I've never had issues barging into a development community and going out to the horizon of customization until this cellphone. It's been 12 hours of flashing and downloading and flushing and flashing...
I have S-off and unlocked through SunShine
I use the 0P6BIMG.zip to flash RUU back to the stock verizon rom android 4.4.2
I use 3.28.605.4-firmware.zip from the same RUU thread to update the firmware (???)
I want to install CM12 or liquidsmooth ROM, but I'm getting a hunch at this point I need to start with the stock verizon 5.0.1 installed before that because TWRP wants to patch the system file... But then why am I wiping my system before installing?
I also tried flashing FluentRom_v7.5.zip but I got stuck on the HTC initial screen, I don't even make it over to a boot animation.
What do?

I'm prettly sure you're on an older firmware. You need to be on 5.01 to flash the ROMs you have tried to flash. Use the pre-rooted RUU from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zw-m8-master-ruu-firmware-collection-t2946473
Also make sure you have the latest version of TWRP.
Edit: The firmware you flashed was 4.4.4

Thanks for the link that thread and your advice was exactly what I needed.
For whatever reason after using the app/exe to flash 5.0.1 stock-rooted, Liquid Rom failed to install in TWRP. I reflashed the stock-rooted rom and CM-12.1 worked flawlessly. So I'm on CM right now :good: but I'll take another look into Liquid rom. Thanks so much!
Since you like AOSP, I recommend visiting the main m8 thread some other Roms. They are unified builds.
This is what is installed on my device: TWRP 3.0.2-3 / android 6.01 (I THINK it's a bit modified rom) / SM-G930FD
I rooted asap I bought it few years ago, I want to update to the latest Nougat version 7.0.0 (I think the 7.1.2 is not officially released, right?)
All I need is stock (slightly modified is also ok) + root and don't mind formatting it to start from the scratch.
What are my options and/or what should I do? Thanks for reading!
Flash the latest stock ROM with Odin, then root.

Thanks for the reply.
Can't the TWRP do the same thing? If I flash using the Odin, will I lose the TWRP?
You need to use Odin to flash a stock ROM which will cause you to lose root and twrp.

Could you tell me which ones should I use? What do you think about the smartswtich?

I recommend matching the ROM to the original carrier.

It's an international unlocked version, does it have a "carrier"? How do I find it? I'm located in Japan and imported this phone.
You can install the Samsung Phone Info app from the Play Store to find out the csc and match that to the ROM.
