and i try this
- Temproot with VISIONary r13 (install the downloaded file as per a normal APK)

Try using guide for downgrade.. then install the desired rom..
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

I have exactly the same problem. My Software Number is 3.15.405.3 (Stock Firmware). Bootloader and Radio Version are the same as yours. Tried the other tutorial with the manual downgrade, but adb commands won't work in the shell (adb:not found).
Any suggestions?

You have to downgrade in order to root.
If you don't need root, then why are you running root tools...?

Finally I managed to do it and am now rooted with 1.01 Bootloader.
You have to do exactly the things from Paul's tutorial. The only thing I made different is that I used z4root for temproot, after having executed the crackin.bat script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430 (REMEMBER: It is normal that it fails, but you can ignore this for the next steps.)
Then after you have the temproot it is important to execute the following commands in windows terminal:
1.) adb
2.) su
3.) /data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
Now you start your 1.31 RUU exe file in order to downgrade and afterwards you proceed with normal root from Modaco.

i have get confused little bit when to use this commands ??? after the crackin.bat or before and installing the z4root before crackin.bat or after ??? and when exactly did you use the gold card ??? or insert it ? i mean the steps , thanks again
thank you very much again ....

You keep your phone on the whole time, no restart.
First you execute the crackin.bat, then AFTERWARDS you use z4root to get temproot. Then you open a command shell in Windows (cmd.exe) and type in the commands one after one (phone has to be connected to USB).
After the execution of the last command, you can start the 1.31 RUU exe file and downgrade.
As for the goldcard: I had it in phone for the whole time.

and dont continue. where is problem pls
can you tell me somethink about this version system for better system work pls
sorry for my english im czech
thanks for help!

Since you've got Cyanogenmod loaded then you've already got root permissions and don't need to re-root. Do you already have a custom recovery installed? If so, I would just try reflashing the ROM or flashing a different ROM.

i have this mobile a 3 days
i dont know who installed os to this mobile
and question this android froyo 2.2 cyanogenmod 6-310710-artifexed.v03 dont want new radio ?
and exists any app for testing gps connect to sat ? on wm no problem find app

No CM doesn't require the new radio. There is a GPS test app in the market but I can't remember the name.

yes i found on market gps test but still no gps satelite
q.: what is better flash new radio and rom or new cm ?
sry for my quest im lamer on android

You can try either one, but either way I'm thinking your more looking at a hardware issue than firmware. I would try just grabbing a different ROM that's compatible with your SPL/radio and flashing it.

thx
but i dont know how
im big lamer

Alright. I'll give some guidance when I get back home. Should be about an hour.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk

ok thanks a lot

There IS a chance you could brick your phone if you hose this procedure up, so be very careful to do everything precisely as I've put it here. Read through the entire post before starting, then re-read as you go through it. If you get stuck somewhere, STOP and post the problem here. Don't just try to figure it out or just try random stuff.
Download this engineering SPL and this file. Take the first file and put it on your SD card. For the other two you will need AndroidSDK, which you can get from here. Take the AndroidSDK.zip file and unzip it to somewhere on your computer (somewhere you remember). Unzip the two files inside the dream2708updatekip.zip and extract them to the AndroidSDK tools folder. Boot into recovery by holding home+power, select the "flash ZIP from SD card" option. Select the engineering SPL ZIP file, and press home to confirm the flash. After it flashes, go back to the main menu, select "Reboot" and immediately press and hold the home button until you reboot back into recovery. Once back in recovery, select the "Turn the phone off" option. Boot into fastboot mode by holding back+power and then plug the phone into the computer. Open a command prompt from the AndroidSDK tools folder where you extracted the two files earlier. From the command prompt, type the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You should then have the 1.33.0013d SPL and 2.22.27.08 radio. Next download this ROM and this kernel. Copy both those files to your SD card, boot back into recovery, go to "Wipe", then select "Wipe data", "Wipe cache", and "Wipe dalvik-cache". You'll be asked to press home after selecting each to confirm. Then go back to the "Flash ZIP from SD" and flash the two new files (not the engineering SPL). After flashing, reboot the phone.

have a problem not boot into recovery after holded home+power blink vodafone screen and thats all

Crap. Flashing the new radio/SPL hosed the recovery. Your going to need to make a goldcard. A Google search will get you the procedure. You will need another Android powered phone. Get that going and I'll post the rest of the instructions when I get home.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk

ok gold card complete and what now

you might try the app “gpsstatus”

Download this file and put it on the goldcard. Put the goldcard in your phone and boot into hboot mode by holding (volume down+power). Hit ACTION when prompted to flash the sappimg file. Hit action again to reboot. Once it boots up to the ROM, turn the phone off and then back on in fastboot mode. Download this file and put it in the fastboot folder. Open a command prompt from the Tools like in the other guide and type this:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Should be able to now boot into recovery and finish the other guide.

All if you plan on rooting that one I would suggest using the void ROM. Very fast and very neat.

[HOW-TO]Change main-version for easy RUU and OTA

First of all, THANKS to drellisdee (a recognized developer in HTC Rezound thread) for the misctool by him!!
In drellisdee's misc tool post, he has written that this tool can be used in linux only.
as most of us use windows or macs i thought it would be usefull to be able to run this tool in windows and mac(I am not sure if it runs in MAC since i dont have it but their is no reason for it to fail to run)
I dont think this can brick your phone or make it mis-function !!
but if it does, i am not responsible for this!!(STANDARD DISCLAIMER)
here i have attached the misctool.zip (ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO drellisdee )
1. Un-zip this in the folder where you have ADB.
2.Open cmd and navigate to this folder.
3.Connect your device to PC(in normal mode ie.not in fastboot)
4.Following is how my cmd looks!! You only have to type those command that are written in BOLD and RED. All other are cmd prompts
C:\Windows\system32>cd c:\mini-sdk
c:\mini-sdk>adb push misctool /data/local/tmp/misctool
2055 KB/s (656708 bytes in 0.312s)
c:\mini-sdk>adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su

[email protected]:/ # chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misctool
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misctool
[email protected]:/ # ./data/local/tmp/misctool r
./data/local/tmp/misctool r
=== misctool v1.0
=== Read/Write HTC Main Version
=== (c)2012 Getitnowmarketing Inc
Main Version is 1.29.401.12
Done!!
[email protected]:/ # ./data/local/tmp/misctool w 1.29.707.1
./data/local/tmp/misctool w 1.29.707.1
=== misctool v1.0
=== Read/Write HTC Main Version
=== (c)2012 Getitnowmarketing Inc
Read back of newly written Main Version is 1.29.707.12
Done!!
I hope this guide helps.
Using this you can set whatever(of course) main-ver and then flash corresponding RUU/ROM
DONT FORGET TO HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED YOU!!

Does this requires the phone to be bootloader unlocked??

This requires root.
Root requires unlocked bootloader

I think we can just change file system/build.prop using file manager (that include text editor) în line bellow:
ro.aa.romver=1.29.707.17
ro.aa.maincid=HTC_044
no need root to do that...

NO doing just that doesnt work!!
after doing that if you check using fastboot getvar mainver it doesnt show the changed mainver!!
whereas doing it by method, it does show the change!!

This just saved my ass after going s-on accidentally with a mis-matching mainver to my CID/MID. Using it allowed me to get my RUU to successfully flash and redo my s-off.

This should be in development... it could help a lot of people.

Wait, does this mean i can use every RUU i want?

Not really. You still have to have the proper CID.

Ok, than its not helpful for me, because there is only a OTA Zip for my phone

nevermind

Could this be done using a terminal emulator. Thanks for a very useful post.

Worked!

Couldn't get it to work with terminal emulator but when I got home I hooked up my htc one to the laptop and it worked first time. I've already pressed thanks but thanks again for this brilliant tool.

my main version was 3.07.1700.1 and changed to another.
when i try to get back to 3.07.1700.1 it says
Error: Value to write must be 10 characters in the form of ex. 4.08.605.3

i've commented out 10 characters validation lines and compiled with c4droid.
if you have problem like mine, you can use my build.

Great work ,nice worked for me :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::good::good::good::good::good:

EDIT: It worked. I changed main version successfully. Will try downgrading now.
Will it work on HTC One Dual Sim 802d Indian version? My device is on 4.4.3, bootloader unlocked, S-On and hboot 2.49.
I am unable to downgrade the firmware as it says
"(bootloader) checking main version...
FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)"
I had relocked the bootloader while downgrading when I got the above error.
I want to ultimately S-Off by downgrading.

READING & FOLLOWING EACH STEP IS KEY TO SUCCESS.
Let's get started!
SECTION 0: SYSTEM PREP:
Let's setup ADB and fastboot
Windows:
- Automated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (follow the steps in the software)
- Manual Method:
Download this file and extract the folder called "adb" to your C: drive. Your path should look like this:
Code:
C:\adb\
You will need to open a command prompt window using this method:
Code:
- Go to the C:\adb\ folder
- hold down SHIFT key and RIGHT-CLICK
- select "Open command window here".
Mac & Linux:
Install ADB & fastboot using: this file
1. Extract the downloaded zip to your desktop
2. Open Terminal and type in:
Code:
su
cd Desktop/Android/ (note: Android is the directory extracted from zip file)
3. Now type
Code:
./ADB-Install-Mac.sh
Note: By using the method above, your adb and fastboot files are stored at this location on your Mac: /usr/bin/
Let's setup HTC Drivers:
Install HTC Sync Manager to get the HTC One M8 drivers installed, which you will need for this process
SECTION 1: UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, CUSTOM RECOVERY & ROOT
BOOTLOADER UNLOCK:
Make sure you check off all of the following before moving on to the first step.
- Make sure your phone is at least 60% charged.
- Register for an account at HTCdev.
- Enable USB debugging in your phone's Developer options.
- Un-check "Fast boot" on your phone by going to Settings -> Battery Manager.
- Install ADB and Fastboot on your computer.
- Make sure to back up all of your app data using either ADB or HTC Sync, because you will be wiping your phone.
- Install the HTC One M8 drivers on your computer (if you have HTC Sync installed, then you already have them).
Enter Fastboot (bootloader) Mode
Place your device into fastboot mode by plugging in your HTC One to your computer,
then powering it down by holding both the Power and Volume Down buttons until you see the screen below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Locate Your Identifier Token
Once the screen above appears, open up a terminal (command prompt) on your computer. To get the right Unlock Code for your HTC One, you first need to get your device's specific Identifier Token, so type the following into your terminal window, followed by the Enter key.
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Copy the Token
Now copy the code you get, but do not include the first (bootloader) portions.
HTCdev
Go to HTCdev and log in to your account.
- Select Unlock Bootloader and then Get Started.
- From the drop-down menu, select HTC One (M8), then click on Begin Unlock Bootloader.
- Agree to the terms and conditions and click Proceed to Unlock.
- On the next page, scroll all the way down and click on Proceed to Step 5.
- Paste the identifier token you copied earlier into its corresponding box near the bottom (called My Device Identifier Token) and click Submit.
- The Unlock Code will be emailed to you, so once you receive the email, download the attachment and place it on your Desktop.
- Initiate the Unlock Code - in the terminal/command prompt, type the following:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Desktop/Unlock_code.bin
Note: Change [I]Desktop/Unlock_code.bin[/I] to the location of your code.
- Your phone will now prompt you to unlock your bootloader, using the Volume Up button, select Yes and confirm your unlock with the Power button.
- Your phone will reboot and your bootloader will be unlocked!
- After the reboot, you will need to set up your device again as if it were new.
- After getting set up, make sure to re-enable USB debugging and plug it back into your computer.
CUSTOM RECOVERY
Get latest TWRP: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8
With your phone plugged into your PC, type in:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader mode, type:
Code:
Mac/Linux: fastboot flash recovery /Users/vomer/Desktop/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img
Windows: fastboot flash recovery C:\adb\openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img
Then:
Code:
fastboot reboot
You are now the the latest version of TWRP.
ROOT
- Download SuperSU to your device
- Reboot into recovery mode:
Code:
via fastboot: With your phone plugged in, type in: adb reboot recovery
or
manually: Switch off the device first and then press the Volume Down + Power buttons - once on the bootloader screen use the volume keys to scroll to "Recovery Mode" and press the power button to make the selection
- In recovery, tap on Install and then select the SuperSU zip file.
- When done, select the Reboot system option to boot the device into Android OS.
You can confirm this by using apps like Root checker on the Play Store
SECTION 2: S-OFF & SUPER CID
There are a few basics you need to get out of the way before you can start this process:
- Uninstall HTC Sync.
- Enable USB debugging on your phone
- Turn off all security settings from Settings -> Security.
- Disable Fast boot mode from Settings -> Power/Battery Manager.
Now for the good part!
- Download firewater (note: firewater no longer works. You may try sunshine - but the results are spotty)
- Save the downloaded file to your ADB folder (C:/adb/ or the Desktop if you are on Mac/Linux)
- Plug in your device to your computer.
- Hold Shift and right-click on any empty space in the adb folder and click on Open command prompt window here
- Enter the following in the command prompt window:
Code:
adb reboot
Code:
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater
Code:
/data/local/tmp/firewater
- Type in Yes when prompted and hit enter.
- When it is done and says you have S-Off, type the following:
Code:
exit
Code:
exit
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
- The phone should now be S-OFF
- Stay at this bootloader screen - let's get you SuperCID:
- Copy/Paste the command below or make sure there a eight 1's:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
- Reboot phone into bootloader mode (by typing: adb reboot bootloader) and verify CID#. It should look similar to this:
SECTION 3: FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Latest firmware's can be found in the post below.
Download the firmware zip file you would like to flash & rename it to firmware.zip
Plug in phone to PC and type this in terminal/command prompt:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Start by checking current system details. Type:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000 [COLOR="red"]< This is your bootloader version[/COLOR]
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.15.2133156.UA13G [COLOR="red"]< This is your radio version[/COLOR]
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 1.54.401.5 < This is your firmware version
(bootloader) cidnum: 11111111 [COLOR="Red"]< This is your CID[/COLOR]
Now type:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After that, type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Note: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots.
Then, repeat the steps above again.
Next, type:
Code:
fastboot flash zip /Users/vomer/Desktop/firmware.zip
Windows users: your command will look something like this: fastboot flash zip C:\adb\firmware.zip
Next, repeat the step above a second time.
Last Step:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Then I went back to the bootloader mode (after the phone reboots successfully):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Checked if the update worked:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.16.2133156.UA15G [COLOR="red"]< Looks New![/COLOR]

Fantastic! Great guide just as with the M7. This is much appreciated and more importantly trustworthy. It's best to remove all the guesswork when messing with these partitions and your guide does exactly that!

Fantastic guide!
One recommendation though, when you are running adb and fastboot on Mac or Linux, it should be ./adb and ./fastboot.
Cheers

Great guide. I already went through unlock & S-off but I used your guide for M7 last year, I think a lot of M8 users will be glad to find this thread

Good guide. However for a second there, I thought that this was a new way to achieve S-OFF... Too bad.

Sorry if my question would sound quite awkward to many people, but I am VERY new to rooting and all these.
I got a Verizon HTC m8, and I do not live in the U.S., so since I have to be on the Verizon network to get updates for my phone, for me that's not a choice. Which brings me here, right here! To root my device to be able to update it. But I have a couple of questions, and I like them to be answered. And since I am too new with this, any forum I read, I kind of got confused with all of it. SO, i would just like to get simple answers please.
1: Will this process help me update my phone and using the stock HTC RUU? Without losing HTC sense and all of that?
2: Will I be able to uninstall the annoying apps from Verizon?
3: Will this anyhow affect my phone to perform worse?
I don't care about warranty though, I am not in the U.S anyway. And won't be going there for a long time I guess.
Thanks for caring!

Hey @vomer, nice to have you here in M8 threads. Perfect guide like it was already with m7. Can we expect also your list of customized fws? I always preferred using your fws on my m7!! I know you don't have M8... But maybe you will be able to extend this thread with fws checked by yourself! Thx again for the great guide!!!

You would of coarse have to adjust the commands to match your CID and MID requirements

The rom in OP works but it doesn't let me change brightness, enable power save/extra power save or airplane mode.
Also this keeps popping up every 30-45 seconds
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and it comes from an app called Demo which you can't delete. This rom is more than likely taken out from a display unit.

I changed the CID & MID back to what it was originally (DEV edition) but it wouldn't find the flie for some reason while in download mode, had to change the CID & MID back to the ones on the list and it did pick it up but then it gives me an error while flashing (failed: -2, 7: fail to flash via downloadzip).

you have to use the included htc_fastboot or
You can also use the 0PJAIMG.ZIP method
rename the RUU.zip to 0PJAIMG.ZIP, place it on ext sd card formatted in FAT32 (a 16 or 32gig one should work), reboot into DOWNLOAD_MODE, agree
If you have problems with the normal fastboot flashing any RUU you'll have to use the htc_fastboot pulled from the RUU.EXE
you can download it here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=96039337900114016 >> Thanks go to @Sneakyghost for sharing

It fails doing the 0PJAIMG.zip method. I noticed htc_fastboot is an exe program, I will try it on my Windows side and will report back in a few.
EDIT: just changed the CID & MID back to their original developer edition status, and it seemed to have worked

It's 32gb not sure if fat or ntfs, I've only formatted it through the phone, so I'm guessing fat. Thanks anyways.

if you formatted it with the phone it is likely exfat and it won't work. It must be fat32

Good point I add information about this in #1 post

Is it necessary to lock bootloader while flashing RUU in S-OFF devices ? I've flashed RUU many times in UNLOCKED position with M7.
Can we flash 0PJAIMG.zip from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.zip
and again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.zip
Is this RUU suitable with HTC__M27 CID devices or can we modify android-info.txt in RUU.zip to flash RUU properly?

No, lock it's not necessary to flash RUU (but if you want to have your phone out of the box it as )

Of course we can flash rom.zip via fastboot but this method will not restore ***status : official*** ( I checked it several times)

probably yes, but I can't confirm

And whats the benefit stock vs. Wwe?
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app

my device is now locked, official and s-on
big thanks to @Mutasek24 and @scotty1223 :good:

I'm guessing that flashing the official RUU (regardless of variant, as long as you flash the correct RUU for the given variant) removes the red "development' text from the HTC splash screen?
Thank you so much for this guide!
