[Q] How do I identify version my one m8?

[worry]

Mine is different.
I've tried to download zip RUU for Google Play edition, which is just 600Mb and installed just fine.
Also I've tried to download couple of big zip files on 3 devices I have, they are all getting corrupt.

Do you have time for another experiment? Rename zip to something else (.abc) and upload one more time?

Also, since I have 1.19 HBOOT, I've tried to restore TWRP backups for T-Mobile firmware, but it got failed half way thru.

Thanks!

I'll redo it as a .RAR and upload it again

 

[worry]

Actually sorry, hold on. I have the same md5
774A607EC751D4E65EE8DA120BA9121A
774a607ec751d4e65ee8da120ba9121a

but MAc OS doesnt want to open it and when I try to install getting following error:

c-73-221-160-166:HTC sash$ ./fastboot-mac oem rebootRUU
< waiting for device >

You HAVE to use the fastboot version I linked to from HTC, the Google one doesn't work. If you have used that, it might be Windows-only to get that working so the only other option would be to copy the ZIP to a microSD card and rename it 0P6BIMG.zip and do it that way

 

[worry]

I've tried 0P6BIMG.zip way and sd card
It says:
wrong zipped image!
device halted due to Large Image update fail

any other thoughts?

That's because you have the GPe bootloader! No wonder it's not working!

You first need to use this ZIP to get back to the Sense bootloader and then you can flash the RUU. Change your CID to 11111111 before starting to stop any possible errors and then change it back to the T-Mobile one before flashing the RUU

This is where giving all the information helps

fastboot-mac flash zip 1.54.401.5-W_Splash.zip
?
also android-info.txt has no 11111111, but has HTC__001
should I use it?

Anyhow, I changed cid to 11111111, I did relock the bootloader and flashed this zip as is.
Now I have white HTC splash, but after that it gives me red triangle and ! and stuck in the bootloop
Exactly like this poor guy:

Still working..

Ok, finally I was able to load into recovery mode and flashed the zip you sent me from SD card, now I have 5.0.1 TMobile rom, thanks!!

You have the M8s variant.

The RUU versions 2.xx are hard to find for your variant. May not even be available.

You can look on the M8s specific section for more info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general
