You're not trying to flash it in recovery are you?Tried flashing the twrp version of the 5.0.1 firmware twice now, 2 different downloads and both gave me an error that they were unable to flash. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

You are good to go. 442 is what your rom is based on not the firmware.I just installed the firmware file VZWm8LfirmwareTWRP.zip and my phone still says Android 4.4.2? WHY is that? btw I have VenomOne Rom installed and plane on upgrading the Rom to 4.3.0.... Do I now have the newest firmware?
But in my fastboot it has this info:
CID-VZW__001
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
RADIO-1.12.20.1211
OpenDSP-v47.2.2-00564-M8974_FO.1024
OS-4.17.605.5
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Feb 3 2015,21:50:28.0 .
Not sure what you're asking, but you probably mean this?Noob question -
The links in the OP provide separate downloads for KK 4.4.4. Can those be added to a single zip and flashed as a single file?
I'm on 4.42, and have decided which firmware I need (per ROM) but I do want to upgrade to 4.4.4. I'll probably use the FUU 4.4.4 to update initially, but I'd like to have the backup firmware.
thanks for all the great work

dottat also has one for LP - in case you don't want to lag behind on KK firmware and rom
Okay, didn't know this. Probably just over thinking it.
how do you flash the radio only? I tried flastboot flash radio filename.zip both in RUU(zip) and in recovery (img). no dice.

What is the proper command and which mode to be in, ruu or recovery?
I tried this firmware on my LRA (LTE Rural America) version of the M8, and ended up without a phone connection. I was able to get it working again with some help.
I didn't test this, but it seems that the rc_data.img from Verizon is not that same as the local LRA carriers. Again, this is untested but aside from rc_data.img, slb*.img and wcnss.img the other files seem to match up. You might be able to flash the firmware listed here if you remove rc_data.img from the zip.

Hello,
i have the same device as yours, flashed the wrong firmware and now ended up with no signals, IMEI = null and baseband = unknown under settings > about
if you still have that phone in working condition can you please help me with some partition dumps
I have a Verizon unlocked m8 , but I have t-mobile. The phone is stock, and I don't really feel like doing the work to root my phone, so I was wondering if there is a way to update my firmware from my 4.4 to the latest 5.0 and (hopefully) soon 6.0 without root or custom recovery s-off etc. Don't have access to a Verizon SIM either.
First of all thanks to the guy of the OP and for the files..
Second I'm confused as hell lol.
So I'm a strong believer of there's no such thing as a stupid question...
My question is.. Can I update the firmware as it is on the OP when I'm running Skyfall (latest)?
will it be safe to flash is as it is or is it necessary to delete hboot or any other file that could break root or S-OFF??
Thanks in advance and excuse my confusion.. I been reading the whole thread and between some Yes and some No and blah blah I don't even know...
