You dug up a post from 9 months ago, that might not be your exact same issue.

The error messages imply that the wrong RUU is being run for the device. It needs to match your CID and MID. And if you are s-on, it has to be equal or more recent version RUU that was is installed on the phone (no "downgrading").

But you haven't stated what version (CID, MID) of the M8 you have, what RUU you are trying to run, and whether you are s-on or s-off.

HELP

Did you modify your MID (model number)? Your product number (m8_whl) is right for Sprint, but the MID is for Europe GSM version (0P6B10000).

RUU is failing due to wrong MID.

To verify, you do have the Sprint version?

As I already told him in the sticky Q&A, he most probably bought a second hand, already S-OFF phone., super CID.

m8_whl is sprint edition, regular one and is CDMA and he probably tried first to flash a GSM rom (ARHD doesn't support CDMA) and that RUU is for 4.20.654.10 (sprint) and you need one for 4.16.401.10 (international), and that is why the RUU failed. You or someone messed with this phone

He need a sprint recovery and a sprint rom and best bet is to go to sprint m8 forum.

I follow what you are saying, with exception of this line. OP has Sprint version, so I believe he can flash RUU for either "regular" or HK editions with s-off (according to the Sprint RUU thread here). I don't see how the international RUU figures in, and he certainly should not install that.

It also seems the MID was changed to be the "international" MID, either by him or previous owner. Nothing good can come from this, so he should change back to Sprint MID.

Poor choice of words, was trying to explain that this is why the RUU failed. In fact, I think he bought the phone with 401 flashed already. Sprint firmware should be flashed, then just go with the usuall recovery and roms

I think you are right, the previous owner probably tried to flash 401 firmware. Its the only reason (albeit a very ill-advised one) I can see to change to the "international" MID.
