I went ahead and installed Windows 10 on my HTC One M8 - Any questions?

It is quite easy to revert. Surprisingly alot easier then it was to install windows 10 lol. It is just a matter of putting it into bootloader mode and using a desktop to reflash it.

From reading on XDA, it seems you can only do that with the Verizon version though

That may be true. I do not have a ATT M8 so I can not comment

Post some details or links and I can give it a shot on my AT&T M8. I'd be curious to see what happens

 

[starsoccer9]

I dont have the image for the ATT. I downloaded the verizion one, but would advise against putting it on yours.

I am missing the Windows 10 features. I am tempted to retry updating to it. I mean worst case It kills an hour or 2 of my time and the phone battery has one less charge in it lol

So I also successfully downgraded to 8.1. (Verizon m8) Very easy. All you have to do is put it in boot loader mode. Download the rom and flash utility. Then flash it. Took very little time. There is a tutorial video on pg 8 of the Verizon rom thread over at xda forums.

 

[osumorris2315]

From what I read this also flashes your radio firmware. So id advise against doing it if you are not on Verizon.

 

[starsoccer9]

Yes that is exactly what I did. Like I said it was easier to flash back then it was to get windows 10 lol

You know of any T-Mo images? I'd like to try and revert mine back to 8.1

 

[starsoccer9]

Sadly I do not.

If you dont mind me asking what build of windows 10 are you on?

OS version is:9941.12498. It's the original build when win TP first came out. Haven't been able to update anything.

 

[starsoccer9]

oh, okay, yea was just curious if it was the newest build or not. I would say 9941 had its issues, but the newest build for me atleast gave me more issues, but you might have better luck

 

[KronosKoders]

I don't want to get to the new build. I want to go back to windows 8.1. Do you know how to do that?

Windows Recovery Tool (sadly I'm on my phone, but look it up).

ignore the above post that is 100% incorrect

The only way I am aware of is using a rom and then putting the phone in bootloader mode. Tho only rom I was able to find was for windows 8.1.1 for verizion tho

This tool does not support the M8 yet, so that won't work

 

[starsoccer9]

yup exactly. So I am getting tempted to try windows 10 again and see what happens

 

[starsoccer9]

So I was sitting around bored today, and figured what the hell I will try windows 10 again.

I also took the previous advice of disabling dot view as well as all htc specfic programs to see what would happen.

The phone seems to be working fine. I have rebooted it once with no issue and have not had any major issues so far. I had noticed a bit of lag and longer then normal loading screens but that is about it.

I also installed Win10 Tech Preview. Have you figured out a way to roll back to 8.1?

Only if you've got the Verizon version, otherwise you'll have to wait

Just used the newly updated recovery tool to revert back to 8.1 on the M8. Quick and easy
