got a hold of an old M8 needing an update, what is the safest way to move from 4.4.4 to 6.0 it's locked S-ON
Code:
version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 0.89.20.0321
(bootloader) version-main: 1.55.605.2
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON
(bootloader) product: m8_wlv
(bootloader) cidnum: VZW__001
(bootloader) security: on

If you want to unlock the bootloader you are in luck as I do believe 4.4.4 on VZW M8 is compatible with Sunshine. It is $25, but worth every penny.
Are you looking to do this or no?
To answer your question, however, either way would be to run the RUU.

So I did a fresh install of the latest ROM (yeah, I know it's old by now) and I have a persistent NFC blinking icon. Anyone know how to make it go away? I know NFC is broken, but that blinking is so distracting. lol.

Use when travelling

I have to travel overseas (Britain & Sweden) and would like to use my M8. I am running ViperOne M8 6.1.0, unlocked and rooted. I love the ROM and all of the upgrades. I have looked at Verizon and they say that the phone can be used overseas. I have a couple of questions- If I sign up for a month of the Verizon International plan will it be a problem since I am not a stock Verizon phone? Other options?

A couple years ago I took my unlocked rooted Verizon M8 running the then-current version of this ROM with me on a trip to India.
Instead of spending the huge amount Verizon wanted, I just got a local prepaid SIM card (Airtel) popped it in the phone and was good to go, high speed data and everything.

At the time I also had a Vonage number (free calls to India) so I went on Verizon's site and forwarded my (US) Verizon number to my (US) Vonage number, which is free, then forwarded my Vonage number to my temporary Airtel number in India.
So anyone called my cellphone, they could still get ahold of me... Worked great for calls (though it did result in someone calling at 3AM because they didn't realize I was on the other side of the world)
Only thing that didn't work was txt. But everyone that really needed to txt me could easily get me via whatsapp, hangouts, email, etc... And if I needed to call the US I had the Vonage app to make a VOIP call.

Your phone should work fine. My wife and I took our identical HTC M8 phones (both rooted, running ViperOneM8 5.0.1) to Mexico and I paid for a month of international service while we were there. Phones worked just fine. Call, text, data... no issues.


Edit: Sorry just realized that was a pretty old post I was responding to.

I have a question that I hope someone can help answer. I'm running an M8 (rooted, S-OFF) running ViperOne 5.0.1 and I want to make sure that my firmware is up-to-date. I have 2 questions:

1) What is the latest firmware designed for my ROM? (Android 6.0)

2) Can I flash the firmware without needing to reinstall / factory reset the ROM?

Thanks!

    A few points:

    • It is usually advisable not to download a rom for a specific device when a warning exists above or to the right of the download link (ie. "Please note: We apologize but Verizon support was removed due to technical issues")
    • In the list of requirements, we have: "We suggest to make a backup from your currently running system first.". We really suggest you do it. This way if we screw up.. well, guess what? You're still up and running.
    • The ROM install wipes system, cache and optionally, data. When wiping data within the rom install, we give you the ability to migrate your tweak settings. If you wipe anything BEFORE flashing the rom, you lose this ability, and it's completely pointless anyways.
    • Don't blame us for your stupidity. We work hard to provide you something to enhance your phone experience. This isn't a business, but a pastime. We're not Walmart so please don't treat us like you bought something that you're not happy with.
