Do you have to have s-off to change the firmware of the phone to the european model and by doing so would I break the Wifi calling? Only asking because I want to try out Venom and LeeDroid but I think it will be unstable without the .17 firmware. I know that the roms dont have WIFI calling in them yet, but I am assuming they will soon.
You can try either one but those roms I'm s-on with bootloader unlocked via htcdev.. i try viper everytime they have an update then go back to stock as I need Wi-Fi calling

I have found this question answered in opposite ways, but with my sprint htc one rooted with S-OFF how do I flash the 4.3 firmware ? Some posts say I have to put my phone back to stock then take the sprint ota updates, then unlock my bootloader once again. While others list that I flash a 4.3 firmware zip in recovery and that is all there is to it ? I just dont want to brick my phone, but I think I really need the 4.3 firmware badly. Running all 4.3 roms my call signal will be full bars then none without moving and most of the time no bars, but if I place a call my signal will stay on full bars this all being a place I have full signal, as I have a network extender and no other phones have this issue here they are all full bars constantly. Hopefully someone here can give me the right info on what I need to do and where to get the correct 4.3 firmware download if I can just flash it from recovery and if I can do that rooted or if I have to go back to stock. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I am on rumrunner hboot 1.55.5555.
I have been having some strange problems, and am wondering if my hboot could be the source. I think it is the only part of the firmware I haven't flashed trying to fix things. The main problem I am having is no service on non-sense roms. It started when I flashed ViperOne, with a full wipe, coming from Noctournal GE. I flashed back to a stock based ROM, and service is back. But I can no longer flash non-sense roms and have functioning service.
I flashed OMJ's modified firmware and twrp 2.6.3.4, then did a full wipe - didn't fix anything. Tried to RUU - it says "The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again." When the utility showed the old and new baseband [?] numbers before it tried to flash, they were the same.
I am about to flash the unmodified firmware in the hopes that it will fix something, will report my findings. If anyone could steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it! :highfive:
It's not a firmware problem. If you want to use it with GSM networks you need a SENSE rom, it has always been like this. The ruu probably doesn't work because you are trying to downgrade and are s-on. If you want to downgrade you need to be s-off, or find a ruu that is the same version or newer than the current firmware

What do GSM networks have to do with anything? I've had perfect service on AOSP/GE roms until this problem occurred. rumrunner hboot means I am s-off FYI. I also said nothing about downgrading, the question is should I upgrade.

In settings, make sure your CDMA subscription is set to NV.

Have you updated your radios?

I'm having issues trying to update to the latest firmware and accept the OTA. A little info first...
I'm S-off and rooted on a non-KH edition Spring M8, CID 11111111 with hboot 3.16.0.0000, radio 1.08.20.0612_4. On the software side of things I have 1.54.654.13.
My problem is this... I get the message about the software update being available to update to 1.54.654.15. When I try to install it brings me to a phone with a red triangle. The odd thing is that I've re-flashed stock recovery in order to accept the OTA. I believe my problem stems from trying to flash the HK version of firmware and software to the phone previously. I think I've flashed the latest firmware, but I still cant figure out how to update my software to the latest stock version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've searched through threads for hours and cant figure it out.

I'll help you get it right if you are still having problems. I just spent months on those very same issues. I might be able to answer some questions pertaining to what you have going on.

Yes, still having issues. Last night I went back to TWRP recovery to flash the HK version stock rooted rom. I havent flashed yet though. Do I need the HK edition firmare to flash the HK edition stock rooted rom? My goal is to get the latest radio with the latest software to allow me to utilize the wifi calling feature. I have terrible reception at my house and have been using an airave unit. Only problem is I've been stuck on CDMA only because there is the faintest of LTE signals and the phone will choose that over my full bars CDMA airave signal. Thanks

As far as your first post, I think you're missing a step when you see the red triangle press the volume up and power button to get into the stock recovery. If it does nothing, that means you need to go into the power settings and turn off fastboot. Normally you can't get to the bootloader if fastboot is turned on, but you can still reboot there with a few apps, like ROM Manager.

If you have successfully installed the latest firmware, you should have hboot 3.18. I'm not sure you are fully up to date. Here's a post I found with a modified hboot 3.18 that I successfully installed after SuperCID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795823&page=14). That should get you to latest hboot. Then, you can install the latest rooted stock rom (odex or deodex).
The same thread (first page) has the latest stock rooted rom and another firmware update (minus the recovery) for you to try in case you need more than hboot.
This should get you to the point where you have wi-fi calling.
HI,
I bought a m8 sprint harmon kardon phone in India which had official sense and relocked bootloader and all sim working. Then I read all guides and i unlocked my sprint m8 bootloader got twrp 2.7.xx for it and Installed Few Custom roms. I am on viper ROM 4.3 now. It is Misbehaving a lot. I wanted to go back to stock HTC. My question is after searching extensively i cant find proper guide or ROM to go back for my particular device.So many ROMS and RUU i am confused and scared i might brick it. Shud i flash from twrp or RUU? i Dont want to S OFF.
1) How to go back to stock harmon kardon with all sim working in india .I have S on and unlocked bootloader. shud i relock bootloader?
2)which stock Rom to flash for INDIA so all sims will work and i will not be stuck with only sprint sim working(biggest scare)
3)Will i get official OTA updates of htc in india if it is a sprint rom?
4)If not can i install an asian or indian Stock ROM? and will i loose Harmon kardon settings with that?
If i install this RUU Sprint_HTC_One_M8_HK_4.25.654.14_RUU from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
will it be OK?
If i run this RUU http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-harman-kardon-edition-sprint/news/ will i be gettin all sims working on it? or only USA sprint?

1. Easiest way to go back to stock is RUU. (you will need to re-lock your bootloader for it to work)
2. If you are sim unlocked as far as I know it's permanent.
3. Yes you should.
4. If they are Sprint compatible then yes. You will most likely loose your HK setting.
Both RUU's you link to are the same, you need to be sim unlocked to get all sims working.
thanks mate

Hello,
I moved your off topic conversation to Q&A as it does not belong in a development thread.
Thanks,

In call settings does it help to turn on hearing aids?

Hello,
I am facing similar problem with my HTC M8 Sprint HK version. It was there on stock recovery with official 6.0 MM version. I am using GSM sim with the phone. I just did a factory reset from settings and since then I am facing unusual problem.
When I make or receive calls, I do not hear audio from earpiece ( other person can hear me) but switching to speaker works fine. I have tried many steps so far but still no luck . It works rarely but problem arises again.
The Device is currently S-On with boot-loader unlocked and TWRP 3.0 installed with Firmware version 6.20.654.3
I tried the steps below:
-- Did factory reset again.
-- Changed the network mode from GSM/UMTS to GSM and automatic mode.
-- Tried with a different sim.
-- Used code +#+#3424#*#* and checked the hardware using audio test. It works fine.
-- Unlocked the boot-loader and installed TWRP.
-- Tried Bad Boyz ROM 6.0 but still the issue is same.
-- Checked in Safe mode and the problem is there as well.
-- Used Code *#*#4636#*#* and tried various network mode.
-- Tried to flash ViperOne 5.0.2 and NuSenSeven 6.0 but they failed to install.
I tried searching a lot but did not find a proper fix. The call and Data (2G/3G) works along with data hotspot.
Please anyone help me in fixing the issue. This problem of call audio is very annoying. I would be glad to provide more information if required.
Thanks in advance...
