I have verizon m8 device and need ruu for my phone. I'm the second owner of this phone and when I bought it, it has custom rom in it. In the internet I have found only 2 Ruu which works fine with my phone:
1- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
2- DOTTAT_VZWM8_S_OFF_5.0.1_FUU

I'm using the first one because it is 6.0 however, when my battery goes below 50, it has risk of dying. If I boot my phone without charging, it is opening for 2-3 seconds then it closes and some tool of my phone wouldn't work after that ( for example status bars, or notification bars, or homebutton not working, or changing LTE to other services, I have experienced all of them).

Thus, I need ruu version for my phone. I don't want to use 2nd one because it is android 5.0, if you know any newer RUU please share with me.
Also I don't know how to use ROM or other methods, I only know putting RUU in to SD card and then install it from twrp.

Sorry for my bad english. I hope I said my needs.

The thread you linked have nothing to do with Verizon it's GPE rom/RUU ( the RUU isn't compatible with Verizon )
We need more information about the device so we can help
post the result of
fastboot getvar all
( after removing serialno,imei and meid )
Someone will guide you to the right RUU

You can't flash RUU in TWRP

I cannot do anything because my phone wont let me do it. HTC SYNC is not working, my phone is not connecting to the phone. What should I do? I tried some of methods posted online but still I have no result.
EDIT: I get "error170" while installing, which is phone connection problem.

Uninstall HTC sync manager and try again

Also, try different USB cable, different USB port.

If you have an SD card, you can also try Option 2 of the RUU post provided previously.

Ok,
1-I tried using different cable,differen port, didn't work.
2- I tried uninstalling htc sync manager( all components) and deletings HKEY entries, then install it again. Didn't work.
3- Enablng developer options ( which is already enabled), disabling it, enabling usb debugging mode (which is already enabled) disabling it. All kinds of combinations from there. Didn't work.
4- I tried usb tethering. Didn't work.
5- I tried to installing htc sync, I downloaded from internet, installing using IO File Manager app). Didn't work.
6- EDIT: I tried to uninstall and install HTC Sync on my computer while firewall is disabled. Didn't work.

Now, I need to try other method. Please explain me if I do something wrong.

"Below is the official RUU. This zip can be flashed via fastboot/RUU mode or via SD card. It is NOT rooted. This will be especially useful for users who want to relock/s-on in order to sell or return their phone. Make sure you download to this software/firmware combo using my other pre-rooted version first!!!!! Once you have your bootloader locked and tamper flag cleared you can turn s on. Then you can flash this RUU to remove any/all traces of root. This ruu will NOT wipe internal storage or data. This RUU is NOT ROOTED!
If you use fastboot/adb method i recommend using this HTC version of fastboot/adb. It's taylored specifically for our phones by HTC. "

In provided link, in first paragraph, he said these sentences. So I downloaded the link which he provided in that paragraph. File size is 480kb. I formatted my SD Card to fat32, it was fat32 before that too, I renamed file to 0P6BIMG.zip , I didn't add the second zip, and put my SD Card to phone and reboot it to bootloader using "adb reboot bootloader". However, I waited 1minute at that screen and it didn't find the file. Am I doing something wrong? Did I rename wrong file and put it in SD Card?


I downloaded the file which is greater than 1.8gb. Renamed it to 0P6BIMG.zip, booted my phone to bootlader. It recognized and formatted, now it is in progress ( Android is upgrading, optimizing app 26 of 268).
EDIT2: after format, it crashed all the time because of android.process. I resetted it to factory settings. It is good. Thank you guys for helping.

Hello again,
my phone's identity lays above. I installed https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845
, however it is not rooted.
1- How can I grant it root access?
2- It only works as LTE, when it cannot find LTE, it switches to HSPR, if it cannot find HSPR it switches to EDGE. While I was using GPE ROM, I can manually change to only Edge or Only 3g Or Only LTE. How can I enable this feature?
3- It lacks of power saver mode, only EXT Saver. Is it possible to add normal power saver?
4- Verizon does not allow me to use my phone as hot-spot, it charges me if I use it. In GPE there was no problem at all. Is it possible to fix?

If you can answer my questions, I'll be grateful

the answer for all your questions is to flash a custom rom
