Just one more way to install Twrp or Philz touch recovery to our
HTC one M8 .
Now this is only for S-OFF,Supercid and can be simply made for any of the HTC ONE M8 variants .
Was made for those that are on the fly RUU flashers that can't wait for the use of a computer.
Just like other ruu files in the "0P6BIMG.zip" form
place it on the root of your external sdcard and boot to "hboot".
Once hboot finishes verification and asks you what you want to do
Volume-up and install will finish and you can reboot.
Tested on my at&t HTC one m8 fully converted to GPE,S-OFF, Supercid
I give thanks to @dottat

You sir, are awesome. I was literally just getting ready to start a question thread asking if this very thing is possible. I remember being able to flash radios this way on my old desire hd. Haven't used it yet, but great to keep just in case.

I know you said this works on your gpe converted att device, do you know if it works on stock att firmware, and dev edition converted att devices?
The reason I'm asking is I noticed that the main version doesn't match my current main version, also the hbootpreupdate does not match either.

This is really old, almost 2 years ago. I would not recommend installing such an old version TWRP.
For Lollipop, download TWRP 2.8.7 and flash using fastboot method: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html
But also recommended to update to Marshmallow firmware, in which case you want to use TWRP 3.0.2.

When I asked an HTC rep they said it was the final approved version from AT&T. Was wondering if anyone else has the phone already and has gained root access with the original software version that came with the pre release devices.
Thanks in advance

For now
Unlocked the bootloader through HTCdev today, and then rooted it. Was really easy.
Though I imagine since AT&T has said that the bootloader will eventually not be allowed to be unlocked, that it'll probably be nice to get it done sooner than later once you get your device.
HTC will block it per ATT instructions. Better unlock asap lol

I used SuperSU from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
There is a link for a flashable ZIP file that worked perfectly with the HTC One.
Whatever CWM recovery came with that toolkit in the international forums is what I used.
I believe technically, the international and AT&T One devices are the same, so almost anything in the international forum should also work with the AT&T One.

thanks ! but i feel like there is no need to flash a rom over this, i understand people want to make it custom and add certain things to it but the main reason why i flashed always was to find a rom that makes the phone work.. my previous phones all have had major issues -.- (the captivate being te worse)

Why not root and unlock the bootloader? It's not like you can't put it back to stock. Then you'd be on the latest and greatest.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to say that I was successful in rooting my htc one for tmobile and installing a custom recovery. I used the tool found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Just wanted to spread the news in case you were wondering if it was possible.
I hope there is a way to do it without unlocking the bootloader. I just want root.

which version did you use? the M7 or the ATT or sprint? just wanted to know so i dont blow my phone up on the first day lols
pretty sure you can unlock the bootloader straight up on the HTC dev site.

Yeah thats what I did. I also followed the tutorial in the android development forum.
Edit: I'm gonna go for the M7 version because it says M7 in the bootloader. Wish me luck!
Yeah I'm wondering that too, do we use the M7 version or the ATT one? I'm assuming the M7 because the Tmo version is no different than the international version.
I used the m7 version last night. Worked great. Note sitting on the stock firmware with cwm touch and root. Needed to get rid of all the junk apps

Just want root access, not the custom recovery/ROMs
I'd like to have root access to my HTC One, so that I can use Titanium Backup. That's really the only reason I rooted my Tmobile Samsung Vibrant (for that, I used SuperOneClick).
I found this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
How do I use this program to maintain the stock recovery and just grant root access?
Is it possible to do the following?:
1- follow the prerequisites in the "To root the phone. Follow in order" and click Go.
2- Skip "Next, flash a recovery."
3- Flash Kernal
4- Run "Perm Root"
Will that work? If not, what do I need to do to get what I want?
I'm not interested in custom ROMs and I don't want to worry about screwing something up. I use wifi calling, and it's important that I have it.
I converted my HTC One to a google edition by flashing the ruu, changing the modelid and cid. I tried reverting to stock sense by restoring a nandroid but when it booted to Android the touchscreen did not work. When I restored the nandroid I did not change the modelid or cic but I don't think that would have mattered. Do I need to also restore the bootloader ?

You need to restore an earlier firmware. Follow the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355814. On page 5 i posted a firmware that replaces the same partitions (other than system) that the GPe conversion changes out. If you don't want to change you MID just change the android-info.txt file to match your current MID (PN072000) and it will flash.
Good luck...if this helps let the folks in that thread know, and as always love the thanks button.

No...just system and boot usually. You can grab cache and data too...but not the other partitions. Be scary always writing the firmware on restore. Mucking with firmware is risky business.
Let us know how you make out after flashing firmware!

It did not go well. I got the wifi and touchscreen working but I cannot find a truly stock rom. I found a better solution by switching to the developer edition. I now have tethering without limits.

Did you try this Rom? This is stock T-Mobile with latest update that would match that firmware package.

Complete HTC newb here so apologies if its been repeated or if there's already tons of threads on it, but I can't seem to find a solid all in one revert to 100% stock thread... that said, the crack flasher in me got too antsy and I unlocked the bootloader, fastboot flashed a recovery, and put a custom 4.2.2 ROM (ViperOne) on my One. I liked stock just fine and want to go back to it now. As far as I know I didn't s-off or change my firmware or anything important, I just did those 3 things so would I be ok just flashing that T-Mobile stock zip posted above and then fastboot flashing the stock t-mo recovery? I am not a flashing newb, I know adb and fastboot and how to flash various packages.
tl;dr unlocked and flashed a custom recovery to put on a custom 4.2.2 ROM. do I need to do anything special besides flashing a T-Mobile "stock" package and reverting recovery?

You don't need to be S-On for OTA's. Only locked bootloader with stock recovery.

thanks for the quick answer
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: Yes, but there are a few kinks. For instance the roms work perfectly fine without anything messing up. I for one have an m7att and was successfully able to flash roms between the att and ul variants flawlessly. However I then flashed philz advanced touch recovery on the ul forums and once I didn't like it tried to reinstall regular clockworkmod, however i was only able to install the ul version and now i can only flash ul roms. I can't reflash the att version yet because i can't use fastboot on my win8 for some reason so i need to wait til i can get my hands on a win7 again. Flash the roms but keep your recovery the same!
You need to edit the updater-script... Then you can flash anything.

Could you please guide me through a return to 100% stock of my August - HTC M9 version
I am hoping an amateur like me could get my phone fixed too through the help of the group here. I recently bought a swappa phone didnt realize the ATT HTC M9 phone was an unlocked international Custom ROM, it worked the first day smooth with my ATT SIM. But from day two I couldnt receive any incoming call. I was told that by the seller to switch back to stock ROM ... Thus I started this exploration, completed an S-OFF using the sunshine $25 apk, Enabled developer version and USB debugging, but am not very clear with the next steps.
Especially 1. Which ROM version to download ? Should I know the original stock firmware version, if so how to ?
2. By SD card is it meant Micro SD inserted in the phone ? Can it be done by USB cord with out SD card ?
3. The OS in the system info says 2.6.502.18 ROM HTC so should I use the same RUU ?
Sorry if the questions sound so amateurish can't help it.
With s-off then you should be able to flash any att ruu. As long as you haven't messed with your modelid (don't remember what it's called). I would recommend running any att m9 ruu to clean up your device then do a full conversion to the dev edition. That will give you a clean ROM to mess with and coming from my m8 I expierenced less issues while on a dev ruu while flashing roms. Also if you're running a ruu through your computer then you don't need a SD card .

Without S-off you can only flash RUUs that update your software or are the same version and you cannot flash RUUs meant for other devices like the DEV edition RUU.

So, I'm almost there - I'm unlocked (using HTCDEV site), TWRP Recovery installed, Rooted, and (FINALLY!!) S-OFF!! (not sure why, but that last one made me really nervous). Also changed CID to CWS_001 ........ so now I'm ready to flash the Developer ROM - but there are a bunch of them and I'm not sure which one I should use. My main goal is to get to Android 6.0 - can I use a RUU file to go directly to the Marshmallow firmware or is this something I have to do in steps? Will I lose OTA? Thanks again!
