SD Card Issues

Ok so I am finally S-OFF, with the latest Firmware and finally can flash ARHD 43. The issue comes in the form of an unwritable SD Internal Card. Let me elaborate:

Some apps that need to be able to write to SD card can't (Whats App for example) and therefore have some small fails in functionality.

If I take a screenshot the phone says it is unable to save the picture for inssufficient storage or an external app is blocking the access

I can NOT download any file from any browser.

Now I know it is an issue with the SD Card, and go looking around for a solution and I find out I DID NOT place the ARHD Zip in the virtual SD as stated in the instructions. I reflashed but it still has the same issue, so I do not know what else is there to do to have a fully functional install. Any step by step guide to solve this issue would be extremely helpful. This issue doesn't make the phone unusable or unstable, but it is frustating to have this small issues.

Here I post my getvar, I am pretty sure I did flash correct firmware.

P.S. It bothers me in general the general storage "messiness" I see in my root folder, maybe this is an issue that is fixable and can also cause the issue mentioned beforehand?

P.S.2. In root folder I can see SDcard (internal) and SDcard2(external)

Thanks everyone in advance! And for what I have seen this is a Great ROM! Pretty sure this is a User/Noob caused issue :)

You need to wipe the data partition in TWRP. Confirm by typing the word yes. You will lose all data on internal storage, so make a backup of important files first. Problem solved and 43.0 is smooth.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneeuwtijger:
Indeed, 43.0 running very smooth , thx again Mike !

SD Woes

Thanks, I have already tried this method from adb with no luck, although I may retry it from a terminal emulator inside the phone itself (I've seen this might work as well ). Any other suggestions to try? Again thanks!:)
[One (M8) Android Development] Harlington-Straker:
Thanks Champ.

I've d/l'd the twrp file and recovery, but have hit another snag.

TWRP kept failing when trying to install, so I thought I would update TWRP because I was on an old version.

The flash of TWRP also failed and now I cannot enter recovery. I know this shouldn't be a problem, but I also have driver issues now. My PC can see the M8 in Device Manager, but ADB can only see it when it is booted into Android, ADB cannot see it when booted into bootloader or fastboot. I've found lots of people with similar problems, but none of their solutions work for me.

Anyway, the short and the tall of it is I am going to have to boot a PC into Ubuntu and try that on the theory that I won't need drivers at all., but I won't have time for a few days.

I will report back when I have something to say :)

Thanks for your help again.

Meanwhile, if anyone has any idea why ADB cannot see a phone in fastboot, I'd love to hear.

Is this Rom 5.0.2 or 5.0.1 ?
[One (M8) Android Development] krazie1:
Android 5.0.2
[One (M8) Android Development] hovadrive:
Thank you I was trying to read where in the tread because in Op says 5.0.1 :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] ned4spd8874:
Depends on if it's an M8 or M9. I have a M8 and it's 5.0.1.
[One (M8) Android Development] krazie1:
Thanks for the correction, don't want wrong info being given.
[One (M8) Android Development] ChampDAN:
Did you check USB Debugging? And if you have problem with TWRP, Flash Philz Recovery and do the Philz backup. I had exact same situation as you when I was working on my friend's M8. And Im telling you exactly what I did to get things working again. And yes, TWRP doesnt work on old firmware so I had to use Philz Recovery and the Philz Backup. Just in case, install HTC Sync on your computer, drivers will be installed correctly. Good Luck !

I've tried the two lasts versions of this ROM, but my M8 freeze at the HTC splash on reboot after install.

Any ideas how I can fix this?
[One (M8) Android Development] chmsalman:
I've been using ARHD for over a year now and finally decided to update it to the latest release. However, after doing so my wifi stopped working. I figured it was because I needed to update my firmware. Now, my modelid is 0P6B16000 and cidnum is SASKT001. I can't find any firmware here that matches both (since I'm S-on) and even if I were to go s-off, I haven't found any 4.x firmware with my modelid. Does this mean I cant use the latest version of ARHD??
[One (M8) Android Development] navid0308:
go to bootloader, see your os version

or

getvar all

get the build number your phone came with

find a stock backup of that build number

restore it

flash stock recovery

ota update to lollipop

flash twrp

flash arhd

[One (M8) Android Development] navid0308:
Remove your imei and serial!

As for the OS, look around threads. Usually backups exist for each cid. Problem is even after you find the backup, the version of the backup needs to match as well. Because you're on pretty backdated firmware. You could try finding signed firmware for your model. Good luck
[One (M8) Android Development] chmsalman:
Haha, you quoted my text so even if i take away my serial and imei it wouldn't make a difference :p

I'm not sure what signed firmware is. Im just about to flash an old backup, lets see if that works and hopefully I'll be able to get the OTA and come back to ARHD. Will report back! Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] navid0308:
sorry :p removed it

rule of thumb, if u have a branded phone, ALWAYS keep a pure stock nandroid backup of your OS. This is especially important if you're S-ON
[One (M8) Android Development] chmsalman:
Thanks for all your help Navid!! I was able to find the correct stock ROM, flashed it. Then found the correct stock recovery based on the corresponding ROM firmware and was able to flash that as well. Upon restarting, there was a system update for firmware 2.x OTA and that successfully updated as well. Rebooted again, update found firmware 3.x and is installing that now. Hopefully will be able to update to Lollipop soon as this is finished!! I'll flash TWRP and make a nandroid backup once everything is updated before I get back to ARDH. Perfect!!

Is everyone enjoying ARHD 43? Any bugs/issues...been reading about some music issues...makes me worry after having to go through all this haha.
[One (M8) Android Development] navid0308:
Arhd 43 is stable but it's sense 6

Arhd 41 has some bugs but it's sense 7

The most stable sense 7 rom I've seen is leedroid's one!

Anyways, before modding, save your getvar all in a text file and take an android backup

That way even If you lose the backup you'll know which os version to look for!
[One (M8) Android Development] krasstoph:
thanks for the great release, mike :good:

after two days 46% battery life ... all good!
[One (M8) Android Development] chmsalman:
Updated OTA to stock Lollipop and saved the getvar details. Flashed the latest TWRP and made a backup. Flashed ARHD 43 and I'm all set! Thanks a lot for your help, I was about to S-off and change my ModelID and CIDnum to be able to update firmware to get wifi working on ARHD if it weren't for you haha, you saved me a lot of hassle and the $25 for sunshine S-off. :)

For now I feel like the individual app updates make the user experience quite similar to sense 7 anyway so I'll stick with ARHD 43. Sense 7 is supposed to come for the M8 this August, so I'll wait for a new more stable ARHD update with sense 7 once that happens. I hope 43 is as stable as 10.1 haha! Thanks once again.
[One (M8) Android Development] chiman:
Happy user of 34.6 at the moment!

Is my understanding correct that 43 is the upgrade of 34.6 (sense 6) and 41 a different version with sense 7?

[One (M8) Android Development] roboprint:
In both cases looks like your phones need to be firmware updating.

Please read first this guide
[One (M8) Android Development] ShadowPony:
actually this sounds like data partition access issue

you can try this fix:

http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ro/2015/01/how-to-fix-no-access-to-virtual-sd-card.html

the fix can also be done in a terminal emulator with root access if you don't have access to a computer (steps 7 and 8)

another fix is to format the data partition in recovery (I said format, not wipe, mind the difference)

make a backup before trying this fix
[One (M8) Android Development] hbt15:
Hi all,

Installed 43 and working great mostly.

Seems that when changing volume etc the 'priority' or 'all' option is gone.

Also, the multitasking window is cards rather than the preferred grid I had on 41.

Any quick fixes?

Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] navid0308:
43 isn't sense 7. So you won't get the sound profiles like priority etc.
[One (M8) Android Development] CrazyCypher:
Just like navid0308 said, if you want full Sense 7, you should install S.Rom which is M9 port to M8... ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] hbt15:
Ahh I see. I swear I downloaded the right one but must have had a brain fade and clicked wrong link in the end.

Hi guys,

I have a question. I recently upgraded from the Kitkat venom rom version to the 41/43 version. (Tried them both)

But I'm finding trouble with the apps and stuff.

The next problems follow up.

Camera is not responding (Crashes)

Instagram (Crashes)

Whatsapp doesn't let me recover backup

Swiftkey doesnt download extra language packages. (Downloading them crashes the app)

Snapchat crashes after starting the camera up.

And so on with other apps.

Can anyone help me with this?

I have the GSM version M8, S-on and last rom I had was that of VenomRom 4.2. (But I would really like to upgrade to ARHD 41 or 43)

Many thanks in advance!
[One (M8) Android Development] blau77:
After I installed ARHD I keep getting notifications when surfing on some reputable news sites that I am blocking ads, and please do turn the adblocker off.

Before installing ARHD, before rooting, I had AdBlockerPlus, but I've done a hard reset, and then wipe before installing ARHD. But is there anything in the ARHD that in itself can block ads and cause these messages to pop up?
[One (M8) Android Development] Danny201281:

Any idea how I can get the transparent version again?

I've decided to move away from CM ROMs and return to Sense.

Can someone please explain the differences between v41 and v43. It seems that both are based on 5.0.1 and have Sense 7.

Sense 7 features are

White dialer

White keyboard

Notification toggles highlight colour matching blinkfeed colour

Transparent weather clock widget

being able to add 4th navigation button

Calculator is stock lollipop version

Music is now grey coloured instead of orange

Are you saying you have all those features on the current v43?

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

If you want black app drawer, you gotta use themes!
[One (M8) Android Development] kmry:
No im not!, im just saying that i installed 43 and the phone recognized as sense 7, as i look in Sense Version on the configuration, And sense toolbox also recognized as sense 7 too, so i couldn use it con arhd 43, thats why i returned to 34.6.
[One (M8) Android Development] chiman:
Thanks!

But how can I get back the Transparent weather clock widget?

I had this widget using 34.6.
[One (M8) Android Development] navid0308:

Some problems to report [MENTION=1631739]mike1986.[/MENTION] on latest ARHD 43 (was like this on 41 as well):

When using PowerAMP for music and using chrome when loading a page the music gets very choppy, almost all the time.

When using PowerAMP/HTC Music through the speakers and the screen goes off I get "Robot" sounding music (this does not happpen all the time and usually gets better after a restart)

I have my music files on a microSD card.

When last installing ARHD I did a full format of the Phone with TWRP and then restarted into recovery and installed ARHD 43 not sure if this info is needed just letting you know.

HTC Music APP

Hey guys,

does anyone else have the problem, that HTC Music APP keeps saying, that you should insert a SD-Card?

I did a clean install (yes I know what clean means) and flashed ARHD v.43 with ElementalX kernel.

Everything else works just fine.

Under the section "titles" in the Music app, my music gets displayed. When I swipe to "interprets" or "albums" it says, that I should insert my Sd-Card.

I did already try wiping music data without success.

Thanks in advance

Are you using the latest firmware? There were similar M8 issues a while back & it was an issue with incorrect/mismatched firmware being used with the ROM version. Everything works good for me on the AT&T M8 using the Baseband version 4.0.U605611 Firmware build 4.16.401.10 CL448934
[One (M8) Android Development] droid_legacy:
Yes I do have the latest firmware and until last version there was never a problem. Maybe it's a problem with the Music App itself. I'm not sure wheter it is one of the Sense 7 Ported (if they actually are) apps.

Otherwise I have no idea at all. It works in all other apps!

I tried different filesystems on the ext SD Card but it did not take any effect. I wiped the data of all different Music Apps and services and tried a manual sd media scan. No success. Keeps saying that we should plugin an SD Card.

Maybe anyone has a htcmusic.apk from one ARHD version where it was working and might want to try to replace it with the one in the current version or just upload to compare filesize!

At least this should be easy to fix with a 43.1 version or something like that, because the ROM is running perfectly smooth though!
[One (M8) Android Development] Clemenator:
Hey Mike thanks for your efforts with this rom, I have been using your roms since the one x.

Now some feedback for 43. It's the 3rd time I have updated my m8 and did a full wipe/format for the install. I only have about 20apps half games none that need dump permission. Day one fine, day to phone start stalling, day 3 had to restart about 3 times due to stalling, day 4 phone just freezers from time to time no buttons work have to restart. Now I have not noticed any specific problems with any particular app or the rom to help nail it down however dose not change the fact phone is not quite right. Bit worried cause seems like a rerun of the one x before the motherboard died funnily enough not long after the m7 came out and HTC gave an update. Is it possible this company puts out bugs to stuff phone so you upgrade? Probably not just find it weird my iPhone still runs but 2 HTC phones die just after update from HTC and now m8 is playing up. Either way no confident with HTC and there support sucks. Either way thanks for your efforts Mike.

Ps. I have seen some people report problems that seem to affect a few yet others give them an ear bash because there phone is fine. Don't want to hear it! if you're phone is fine lucky you but for many it is not and has not been since lollipop. 2nd I know what I'm doing so it's not user error ;)
