Hey all,
Recently got a "New" HTC M8 off ebay and believe something to not be quite right.
I have absolutely no option of "System update" to try and get an OTA update (it should be under "About" I know but it isnt).
My wish is to update it to Marshmallow stock.
I tried the HTC RRU with the only listed file on their website (this was htc/us - I am in the UK and cannot seem to find a UK version) but it failed repeatably with an error. Thought I had bricked my phone but luckily not.
The software infomation is;
Android 4.4.2
HTC Sense 6.0
Software number 1.54.651.8 (google shows it as a rooted custom ROM?)
HTC SDK API Level 6.17
PRI Version 2.62_003
PRL version 00000
Kernal version [email protected]#1SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version 1.09.20.1112
Build number 1.54.651.8 CL326598 release-keys
Does this look right?
If it has indeed been flashed with a custom ROM I am really pissed at the ebay seller for this "New" unused phone in a box. I have checked the SN and IMEI and seems to check out OK.
What are my options to get my phone to a stock ROM able to get OTA updates?
I am pretty PC tech savvy but have no clue on phone rooting/flashing.
Thanks in advance,
Ricky

Hi, I have rooted my HTC One M7 and flashed to turn it into a HTC One M7 GPe. The fact is that I have made this process with an Android 4.4.3 ROM but my intention was to get an Android 5.0.1 ROM.
When I tried to flash the Android 5.0.1 ROM that I had downloaded, the flash process failed so I had to flash the phone with 4.4.3.
My questions are, can I flash directly from 4.4.3 to 5.0.1 with the correct ROM? What ROM file I'd have to choose? I have found web pages with different links to make it and I'm not sure about that (I entered "Android world" from iOS only one month ago).
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello.
I have an unrooted At&t HTC One M7. It is sim unlocked along with a locked boot loader and S-ON.
It is currently running on 4.3 Android version and the Software number is 3.17.202.3
I just want to update it to 4.4.2 (kitkat) using RUU File.
I need the link of the RUU file version for this.
I would love to update it without doing s-off and any other unlocking/locking thing.
if there is a way, please do let me know.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have rooted mine and put a custom rom with 4.4.2, but i'm getting notified that there is an update by LG. Does anyone know what version this update is for, as I can't find any info on it anywhere, and if it's just going to put me back on stock 4.4.2 there's no point me doing it.
Thanks

Hello there, my first post on this forums, I read it often but couldn't get answer for my problem.
I have htc m8 with lollipop upgrade. (official RUU was used for it)
Currently I am trying to upgrade to marshmallow. I use official RUU files. I have all of them but 6.12.1540.4 file seems to be the one I should use. With this one I am either stuck at sending, getting error 155 I believe or 152. I have tried cleaning the cache, I have found the version 6.12.1540.4 zip file and tried to upgrade from the bootloader. Phone is S-off and it is rooted. (used kingo software for it as I thought it might be the problem - that the phone was not rooted).
I am no programmer, I am running windows 10 at the moment. And .cmd has issues finding the phone etc.
my CID is - 11111111
HROOT - 3.19.9.0.0000
When I upgraded it to lollipop with RUU from the htc webpage the upgrade was fast and easy.
