Hi everyone,
I need some help if you may please. I bought an HTC One M9 phone and for a while it's been telling me to update to the newest android version. However, this was impossible because even when I downloaded de update from TMobile, when restarting, TWRP would kick in and wouldn't let me go through the whole setup. So, I got to some tutorials and I found some guidance but it's all so confusing and I've gotten to a point where I have no idea what to do next.
Phone is from:
-TMobile
What I did:
-Got rid of TWRP
-Got it back to unroot
Phone status as of now:
It works fine, but it's still not updated.
When going into the HTC Download mode screen, i get the following info:
-UNLOCKED
-htc_himaul PVT S-ON
-OS-1.32.531.24
-Warning: Security checking failed NOT_FIND_SMARTIO
FILE /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/0PJAIMG.zip
File NOT FOUND
ADB is not reading my device when in download mode, I was trying to install stock recovery by following a tutorian in android soul: how to install stock recovery on htc one m9 (sorry but the forum won't let me post the link.
What do I need to do? There are so many tutorials out ther with so many different instructions that I'm totally confused now as to what to install or not to install :crying:. I'd like to install the Developer version but if I have to deal with the Tmobile one, that's ok.
Thanks in advance!

I was trying to install a Google Play edition on my HTC One sprint where I had to change the MID and CID number I was ignorant to the fact that after flashing the RUU Google Play Edition ROM everthing of my phone would be deleted including the TWRP recovery and my backup roms! Now everything is deleted because of the ROM i flashed and I cant change my MID back to the sprint version which is its original number because I am stuck in fast boot. I installed TRWP and pushed a ROM into sdcard but it wont flash because of the Google Play Edition ROM which is not compatible with the Sprint Phone. I am stuck in Fastboot mode for days! How can i chnage MID in fast boot mode? How can I install back sprint cutom Rom in the system? Please help me I need help?

Hello Everybody.*
I'm new here and I could use some help.*
A few weeks ago I bought a HTC one m7 32 G from a friend, when i tried to do a factory reset I wasn't able to cause the phone would freeze on the Twrp slide to unlock screen. I read and found out that it was the Twrp fault cause it was the version 2.5 00, so I downloaded Rom Manager and tried to update Twrp but to no avail. So I guessed I have to be rooted to do that. The phone has the bootloader unlocked and it says tampered, so i guess that it was rooted at some point. Also I found something called All in one root kit v4 amongst it's files, so i guess that's was what the person used to root the phone.*
I just received an ota update today and made the download but when I press install the phone reboots and it freezes on the Twrp 2.5 00 screen as usual. Currently I don't have a pc. The phone has Android 4.3. What can I do. Thanks in advance.*

Congratulations for your new phone ... it's a really powerful device IMO :good:
I think this is the right TWRP recovery for your device: HTC One > One Original Android Development > [RECOVERY] TWRP touch recovery v2.7.1.1
But check your exact device model before flashing anything.
I also advice you to read the HTC One > One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Frequently Asked Questions thread. It's very helpful for new HTC One M7 users.
If you have further questions, please ask in your device specific help forum: HTC One > One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
There you will get quick and proper help :fingers-crossed:
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
Hope to find someone to help an aging struggling guy. I have a moto x on which the boot loader has been unlocked and TWRP is installed. Obviously the latest VErizon android OTA will not install and continues to annoy me with attempts. I have been able to gather that i need to either a) return to stock and install OTA or b) find a custom update ROM to flash from TWRP (hope i said that all correctly), unfortunately I do not know how to properly do either.
Can anyone provide directions or point me to a thread that deals with this situation?
Thanks
Charlie

Hello, and welcome to XDA! The easiest alternative is probably b). There are lots of roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/orig-development. As for flashing, here is a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android. If you need further help, there is a help forum for your device here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa.
Good luck!
Okay, I friend bought this M8. It was unable to download and install OFFICIAL HTC Software updates. The error said I needed to revert back to authentic HTC software. I went onto HTC support chat, explained what happened. THe support person had me download RUU for att on accident. I didn't realize this all at first. And ever since installed that RUU (of AT&T) I have NOT been able to get ANY updates from HTC. It has all this bloated software. He thought it was suppose to be T-mobile. But ever since this RUU of AT&T got installed, I can't browse the internet (using cellular data service), watch youtube videos, browse internet, nothing. I've tried to erase the cache partitioins and factory reset, but NOW, even if I factory reset, it comes back with all this ATT stuff. And same problem exists. I can't use the phone for what it is, unless I'm on wifi. How can I start over?
