I have the same issue, it worked well for me before. Same zip, same md5.i did a FUU and tried CWM and TWRP
[One (M7) Android Development] Firething:
I´ve reinstalled it 4 times with clean flash and havent had a single problem (except for the options i forgot during arome hence the reinstall)

did you try the 4.19.401.8 firmware ?
[One (M7) Android Development] DanteGR:
Well maybe it's not for you cause many many people are using it with no problems including me.

And imagine i did not even full wipe.

Anyway the aroma freezing issue is very weird and makes no sense at all..

Those of you having it, did u try flashing with latest CWM recovery?

Yeah, tried cwm and Philz.

Version 8 was working for me, dirty flash from version 8 also works. But a clean flash from 8.1 does not work. All other ROMS works. This is clearly a problem of the ROM itself since version 8 was working.
[One (M7) Android Development] DanteGR:
How can it be a rom fault since many people have no problems whatsoever? No sense at all..

Does anybody know where the aroma choices were stored. Which each try to install it is somehow remembered my privious choices. Would like to delete this file and see what happens.

Post 6 Updated

Hey folks

Post 6 has been updated with the chrome theme update that includes themed landscape Prism apk and some minor icon adjustments. I will be supporting the chrome theme here for the time being as it's specifically made for Renovate. Cheers and enjoy...
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
I am having the same issue. Charles and I worked for a long time yesterday and could not get it to work. I have no issues with the Insert Coin Rom. There is something weird only affecting select phones.
[One (M7) Android Development] DanteGR:
You have the problem only when full wiping right? Have u tried dirty flashing over the top of a previous Renovate rom?

Swiftkeyed from my Renovated HTC One
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
When I try and do dirty it locks up at the transparency options. To get past that I have to do an advace wipe. Once I get past that screen it will not install the Rom fully no matter what options and I get suck in a boot loop.
[One (M7) Android Development] vonschau:
Developer edition

Just came to my mind Has it to do with the 64gb developer edition, that we are frozen at transparency page
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
So us with a 32gig would have this issue then?
[One (M7) Android Development] vonschau:
This answers my question already. You have 32 with issues I have 64 with issues, so thats not the point pitty
[One (M7) Android Development] hung77:
But it perfectly make sense for you that version 8 is working for me and 8.1 not?
[One (M7) Android Development] mwilky:
Well could you provide some details with what it's doing, which aroma choices you select etc. Just saying it's not working isn't going to help
[One (M7) Android Development] vonschau:
Hanging

MWilky I think we explaind it whats not working.

The first installation went through and ended in a bootloop to recovery, since then I stuck at the tranparency screen, can choose whatever I want.

Had a total clean installation with factory and data wipe. The only thing I didn't try yet is Format SD card.

Have the lates firmware, I'm back on 736 as this is my latest ROM I saved. Can't find any download of later versions.

Interesting probably. While wiping in TWRP it says E:unable to mount /cache e:failed to wipe dalvik
[One (M7) Android Development] hung77:
I have tried to flash the ROM several times this morning with full wipes. 1st time is the default theme, no prism options chosen. Removed a few HTC apps and google apps in aroma. Option for repo i skipped cause i dont like a repo on my device.The rest is just standard. After full flash I reboot the phone, it comes with the splash screen for like 10 sec. Then it reboot and again, this time it reboot into recovery, that's it.

I have also tried the stock theme,but also the same problem. I haven't tried everything stock, this morning I needed my phone and could not tried everything stock.

A few days back I flashed the milestone 8 version with the same options and it worked, after 8.1 came out I dirty flashed it and had no problems.

But this morning I wanted to flash back to stock theme with a few modifications and then got the problem it booted back to recovery. Since then I had no choice then flashing other ROM on the phone, I have deleted version 8 so I cannot use renovate atm and that's really a pity.
[One (M7) Android Development] Firething:
on earlier versions and/or devices, this happened to me too .... .. but flahing rom, THEN wiping Dalwik fixed it.. .. for some reason the wipe-script didnt always work.. dunno if it helps but worth a try ;)
[One (M7) Android Development] vonschau:
Aroma freeze

I finnally got it installed. Took me a while. I formatetd the sd card new and did the wipes three or four times. Wiped everything.

During installation got the message faild to fix some permissions

:cowboy:
[One (M7) Android Development] numbskull100:
Just copied your attempt. All formatted, wiped to death.

Got past the transparent settings, installed.

The install progress stopped at 71% and skipped to done. No kernel, no boot. :(

So close, but not to be.
[One (M7) Android Development] vonschau:
Installation hangs

Did you try to install again. Can imagine how you feel povero
[One (M7) Android Development] numbskull100:
Yeah, and custom kernel, neither worked :(

Now putting 7.0 back..
[One (M7) Android Development] mattkle:
stuck in bootloop too, saved boot logs but not sure how to get off the phone. Keeps reverting back to recovery mode, tried several

installs with varied choices in aroma, but no good.Downloading old ROM now to try and revert back and get phone up and running,

will post log when I get a chance.
[One (M7) Android Development] mwilky:
Could you do that again and then in aroma it will give you the option to save logs.

If you could post the log so i can have a look :D
[One (M7) Android Development] worldfamous:
I don't know if this will help. But when i first installed milestone 8 i did quick install. It gave me an error then clicked next it said finish. Restarted and it booted back into recovery. Then i tried to reinstall no wipe and chose aroma settings. Went through aroma and clicked on regular home screen no landscape. Everything installed fine with those options. Then after ROM installed went back in same quick install and chose new aroma setttings and chose landscape and it works fine.
[One (M7) Android Development] numbskull100:
Will do. Off out for an hour or so, will do it when I get back and post here.

Where do the logs save?
[One (M7) Android Development] mwilky:
Root of sd so data/media/0
[One (M7) Android Development] mwilky:
Could you guys with install issues please try replacing the file in the rom zip with this attached file.

The location is META-INF/com/google/android/

Make sure to remove the .txt extension
[One (M7) Android Development] fisha21:
Just had a thought. I vaguely remember there being some issues with aroma freezes back on the One X, and the issue turned out to be a full cache. Just to clarify, those people having aroma freezes....have you tried just wiping cache and dalvik-cache via TWRP (or CWM), and then running the installer? Sorry if it's been tried, there's just been a lot of comments to sift through....

Hmm, so this sounds like a 3rd problem now? There was the aroma freeze issue, the bootloop after install, and now this issue of rebooting into recovery. The other people reporting bootloops, do you mean that it just hangs on the splash screen, or that it reboots into recovery? Would be good to clarify this, since that's 2 different things

So, 8.1 worked on the first flash, but then the same zip didn't work when flashing again? Not sure how to explain that really. Did you full wipe the second time?

You can download Milestone 8 here. Let us know if that works

Did you flash 8.0, or just 8.1? If you hadn't tried 8.0 yet, could you download the above and try it?

Glad you got it installed! Did you delete the saved .prop files in the end?

A log would definitely be helpful, thank you - though again I'm not sure if by bootloop, you mean it keeps booting into recovery?

If people are having proper bootloops (ie the rom hangs at the splash screen), then an adb logcat would be the most useful

=======

Edit: If anyone is going to download and try the Milestone 8.0 zip I linked a few lines up, could you also download the updater-script that mwilky just linked to, and put that into the Milestone 8 zip before flashing?
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
I will try and see if I can give this a try when i get home. Most likely will not be for about anouther 5-6 hours.
[One (M7) Android Development] hung77:
[MENTION=704359]fisha21[/MENTION]

If I clean (wipes everything except the internal SD card) install version 8.1 then I got the problem when I hit the button reboot after finishing flashing the rom. The phone reboots and I see the splash screen, after that the phone reboots again and says enter recovery. It keeps booting back into recovery if I reboot the phone. Actually it does not bootloop but boots back into recovery.
[One (M7) Android Development] numbskull100:
Changed the file, installed - log attached Log did not save :(.

Rebooted to recovery and..... nothing. Fastboot erase cache - nothing.

Had to re-flash TWRP and reinstall 7.0.
[One (M7) Android Development] mwilky:
What variant/carrier are you using mate
[One (M7) Android Development] numbskull100:
International (un-branded EE - UK)
[One (M7) Android Development] mwilky:
Strange this! Could you keep trying really need to try get an install log!
[One (M7) Android Development] numbskull100:
Will do! But will have to be tomorrow now, under orders ;)

What is annoying / odd is that I got 8.0 to work fine, 8.1 then broke it.

Re-flashing 8.0 did not work, exactly same transparent settings freeze.

Full wipe, and 8.0 now works again. Odd eh? Something being written in 8.1 that corrupts 8.0 subsequent flashes? 7.0 flashes fine after 8.1 freezes.
[One (M7) Android Development] mwilky:
Think we know the cause now, will have a possible fix up tomorrow or late tonight
[One (M7) Android Development] vonschau:
Glad you got it installed! Did you delete the saved .prop files in the end?

Yes I did, but this was not the solution. It helped to go through the aroma options, but I ended up with bootloop to recovery.

What helped was really to wipe everything a few times (had always an error, can't mount E: /cache and can't wipe delvik, then I formated the SD card, wiped a few mor times and didn't get an error than. Installed international 4.5 desktop and optioned out a few apps, worked fine, installed the boot.img and ended up with a message, some permissions couldn't be set.

Now the ROM runs flawless. THanks and thumps up

Again, this seems to be one of those things that varies from device to device. None of the team own a Media Link, so it is difficult to test that. When you say it isn't working, what exactly happens? It won't connect / recognise the device? Or something else? Also, when you say it was working before, what revision was that on?

When I mean it isn't working, I mean I won't reconise the device and connect to the TV, When I say it was working before, it was on latest 8.1 before the flashing the wifi fix 3, I connect the TV with HTC Hotspot on the TV and the media link works.
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
Great to read. I will be up for a few more hours if you need a tester soon that has been having this issue. Otherwise will try and download when I can at work (we have Wifi :) ) and will try then.
[One (M7) Android Development] CharliesTheMan:
I'll vouch for Veeners testing abilities being quite good when I was working with him. It was a pleasure working with someone that followed instructions and was so patient. It was like I was working with myself, and I'm a beast ;)
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
Thanks! I am also a car nut and help out people. Can not stand when they do not listen and screw up stuff and try and blame me. Try and treat people how i want to be treated doing the same.
[One (M7) Android Development] fisha21:
Ok, so you're saying the media link worked when you flashed Milestone 81, and then stopped working after you flashed the wifi fix. We can't really help with issues caused by mods that we didn't make ourselves, especially as we don't have the wifi issue, and have no media link to test with. Someone posted earlier that the wifi fix is known to cause issues with media link:

and someone else mentioned a particular kernel they were using that gave them working wifi and media link:

that might be worth a try?

I've spent the last few hours rewriting the aroma setup so that's its more streamlined, and only offers some of the option pages when they are requested. Hopefully this will help with the aroma freezing issue. I've also rewritten parts of updater-script, and changed some of the mount commands so hopefully this will address the install issues people are having...fingers crossed! Am uploading now, so should be another 20 mins or so...

Actually, I'd say you've both been real assets the last 24 hours..thanks for your help trying to get this sorted!
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
For this new build should I test it with TWRP 2.6.3.4 or am I ok staying with TWRP 2.6.3.3?
[One (M7) Android Development] fisha21:
I'd stick with 2.6.3.3. I've had issues with aroma freezes on 2.6.3.4, as have lots of others, so probably best to reduce the variables! I'm on 2.6.3.3, so that's what all builds are tested against.

Ok, here's the new build:

Milestone 8.2rc1

MD5: 96f3c007d54e847d55fb97487142b703

Hopefully this fixes things!! Thanks for testing :)

3am here, so I won't be around much longer. Leave any comments here though, and I'll check them in the morning...

My batteries almost dead cuz I'm having so much fun chilling in my outdoor recliner playing with themes and don't wanna go inside to my charger. And same to soldier and raymon and mwilky and the people I missed, it's a sick build.
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
Was about 2/3rds done with the download and it stopped. I can no longer download the file. Tried via my phone and laptop.

****update*****

Looks like it is back up.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

The Rom did not install. Got a little over 70% done and got an error.

--Enabling NFC with Screen off

file_getprop:failed to stat

*/tmp/aroma-data/volkey-prop":No such file or directory

I did try a 2nd time right after this to install the ROM with out the Enable NFC with Screen Off option selected but got the same error.

I did save the log. Will try and post that up once I get the Coin Rom back loaded up.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Got the log file "RenovateROM_8.2.zip.log"

I can not get it to attach. I keep on getting a fail.
[One (M7) Android Development] CharliesTheMan:
Try naming it RenovateROM_8.2.zip.txt , or it may be the .zip in front of another extension jacking with it.
[One (M7) Android Development] mattkle:
Sorry Mwilky, hae not been able to extract log cat. Currently phone not working same as others stuck going back

to recovery. Managed after a few hours to push another rom (viper) and tried flashing it, did not fix the problem. It

installs complete but will continue to reboot to recovery regardless.

Will wait for new flash, hopefully it will fix it, meanwhile I'll try flashing an RUU and unlock phone again step by step

cause cureently can not find away around the problem.

Thanks for all the feedback, will wait patiently for a fix. :fingers-crossed:

still on milestone 8

Still on my milestone 8.. Never bothered to update to 8.1.. I only had one issue before the heating of the device flashed rom w/ stock kernel fixed the issue.. Wifi working fine here.. Media link a-ok.. Flashed era v13 without any skipping tracks.. Battery is good.. No unusual drains.. No missing clocks etc after reflashing rom again with stock kernel.. blue theme.. I guess im the type of guy who says don't fix what ain't broke.. So i never bothered messing with the updates and all.. Too large to download anyways my internet speed is wacked.. So far.. So good for me.. Just like the old renovate that i once knew in the one x..:good:

I got through install noticed one fail, refer to image. Below

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
[One (M7) Android Development] fisha21:
Hmm. I've changed the aroma structure, so there shouldn't even be a reference to volkey.prop in updater-script. Just double checked, I do still use volkey.prop at one point. Hopefully this might help track down the issue then. I did flash twice before uploading, and once after, and it went through fine. Did you choose the quick install option, or install without wiping?

Would you be able to try again without the project era selected? That's the only permission related stuff I changed, can't recall now if I chose that option when I test flashed
[One (M7) Android Development] CharliesTheMan:
Choosing project era on first flash used to cause bootloops if the Rom wasn't booted to disable beats, but that was back when we had pure x and music box before android 4.4. I'm just brainstorming out loud.
[One (M7) Android Development] fisha21:
As far as I remember, all zips require disabling signature verification, since Desire days. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though. I see it's still giving you the permissions error. Not sure why since I didn't change any other permission related stuff. Also, don't understand why I don't get the same error when flashing. Will triple check the scripts a bit later

Yeah, as far as I know that was due to music box. Haven't had to do that when I've flashed project era on the 4.4 bases. Good thinking though. Also, as you say, that caused bootloops, not this rebooting into recovery issue..
[One (M7) Android Development] mattkle:
Ok tried with new updated txt from mwilky still no joe. Can confirm

Though on initial install I did select project ERA. So strange....
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
I did a clean install.
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
Just a FYI I do not have Beats disabled. Looks like the post after this that should not be what is causing this. Thought I would post incase that could be something.
[One (M7) Android Development] mwilky:
That beats is irrelevant as we don't have music box, I've just installed the version fisha posted and it went through flawlessly, really strange how it's working for us and no one else
[One (M7) Android Development] veener79:
OK. Trying to think of what could be making certain phones different. When that was brought up I wanted to note for that just incase.

I agree it is so weird to see this. Only time I have seen this with a ROM was back in my Captivate days and there certian phone builds with different hardware that was causing a weird issue with only select phones.
[One (M7) Android Development] mwilky:
Sarj has nailed it I think, expect a fix up tonight :D
[One (M7) Android Development] fisha21:
Ok! So I managed to replicate this error at least, and I know how to fix that at least :)

Still not managed to replicate the booting issues, or the permissions one, but will keep trying...

Yeah, I did think about hardware differences being a cause here, but I'm not sure how to work that out!

Did wonder if there was some weird partition thing going on. Those people who tried flashing and got bootloops, or reboots into recovery, would be great if you could provide some info about your partitions.

You'll need Terminal Emulator from Play store (already included if you're on a previous version of Renovate). Open it, then type:

su

then

cat /proc/emmc

and post a screenshot here. At least then we can check the partitions are correct

[One (M7) Android Development] mattkle:
I think so, through TWRP under mounts system is not mounted,

I've tried selecting and rebooting but it reverts back to the same.
[One (M7) Android Development] fisha21:
Yep, that's normal. System doesn't get mounted by default in recovery, more for user protection I think. The system mount is taken care of in the install script itself.

Time for another version....

RenovateROM 8.2rc2

MD5: 9921ae47a26e77edf158813c0cf8bb9c

This one fixes the issue with incomplete installs due to missing prop files, and the mount stuff as well.
