Oh dear. I'm not sure where to report bug but I hope this isnt an issue regarding converted HTC One M8s. I can't control the volume of music when the phone is locked. This bug was apparent in SkyDragon's rom and still persists in the official 5.0.1 put out by HTC. Does anyone with the original GPE HTC One M8 have this issue? You can control the volume right after you put it to sleep but after a while, it will lock up.
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
Can one of y'all please let me know what the baseband version is? [MENTION=4209038]EagerestWolf[/MENTION] [MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION]?
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
You cannot manually flash an OTA, even in stock recovery, without S-OFF.

When I installed 5.0.1 on my m8 the rooted ruu was not available... Can I root this using cf-autoroot ?
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
Can you post the baseband version from Settings | About Phone?
[One (M8) General] Vigz:
I got it. 1.21.213311491.A04G_20.51A.4198.01L_F

Easiest way is to flash TWRP on your phone and install the SuperSU zip file. I'm not even sure CF-AutoRoot exists for the HTC One M8. Although, don't take my word on it. I've rooted via the TWRP method.
[One (M8) General] iTchill:
Yeah , Lol I have a n5 also , that why I talked about cf-autoroot ..sorry about that , and thanks for the tip !!
[One (M8) General] Acill:
Thank you for the info. That must be it then. I know on my M7 I was s-off and did it all the time. Thats the difference here.

I can wait for it to just come, but just in case. Can i s-off on 4.4.4 without losing data in anyway? I'm so tempted to just s-off and unlock my bootloader. I am kinda getting tired of dealing with a stock fun. I have tried to do it, but just cant, lol...
[One (M8) General] Vigz:
Unfortunately, unlocking the bootloader will require you to reset the phone and clear all data.
[One (M8) General] Whoareyou:
I think sunshine can unlock and s-off without wiping
[One (M8) General] Vigz:
Doesn't SunShine require root? If it does, he has to unlock the bootloader for root access anyways.

How to OTA from 4.4.4 starting w/o stock recovery

If you don't have stock recovery:

Flash the 4.4.4 stock recovery which can be extracted from the 4.4.4 OTA or found here.

Then run these commands in adb

adb reboot bootloader

Once you are in fastboot mode, flash the recovery:

fastboot flash recovery [nameoffile].img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Then make sure you have the Google CID which is: GOOGL001.

After you have stock recovery you can now flash the OTA:

First, transfer the OTA file to (which can be found on graffixnyc's website) to a folder on the internal SD card of your phone.

Then, reboot into recovery which can be done through adb by

adb reboot recovery

If you see the android guy on his side with the exclamation mark, don't be scared and just press volume up and power at the same time to go into stock recovery.

Press apply from phone storage. Navigate to the file. Flash it and it should take around 10-15 minutes for it to be all complete since it's quite a large update.

Hope this helped any of the newbies! :)

EDIT:

Here's the OTA from Google if you're a paranoid parrot.
[One (M8) General] Petert87:
This doenst have any effect. I pressed volume up and power but nothing happend. If I push to long, the phone reboot.
[One (M8) General] supahdaniel:
Maybe try holding volume up and then pressing power? It should work that way. Sometimes it takes a few tries.
[One (M8) General] Acill:
Nice, it worked great. Off topic for sure, but got me where I needed to be.
[One (M8) General] Greasedferret:
Sorry for the noob question but I have s-off and unlocked and rooted, had to use sunshine and then flashed 4.4.4.. No OTA update yet, do I just wait?

Recovery is KTU84P.H1

jave changed cid to Goog0L but not changed mid

Thanks
[One (M8) General] Acill:
I was in the same boat. Just wait if your recovery is stock still. I was about to flash the OTA after I did all the sunshine crap and as soon as i rebooted the update came up!!
[One (M8) General] Greasedferret:
Thanks, think it's stock recovery, when I had sense before I put kitkat gpe on, I had TWRP but that seems to have gone, and now have android recovery, guess that's stock
[One (M8) General] Johndoe9990:
So I'm running a version of Skydragon 5.0.0 and TWRP, and I'm not sure what steps to take form here.

I figured I would go back to stock 4.4.4 then receive the OTA, but I can't seem to find any information on how to do that.
[One (M8) General] mrRobinson:
anyone have the stock 5.01 recovery? I don't see it in the OTA...
[One (M8) General] kokinator02:
The sequence's changed for lollipop. First “Power" then “Vol+" and you should get into recovery.

Cheers!
[One (M8) General] gbdesai:
I had the same problem and your suggestion worked perfectly, but I just flashed the whole KTU84P from KTU84L.zip file then installed the OTA zip! Thanks brother!

But yikes, serious lagginess everywhere. Time to try a reboot.

I did exactly the same.
[One (M8) General] gbdesai:
If you do the install manually (meaning put the OTA zip on your phone, reboot recovery, install from phone), you'll get an error message that can help you determine what is going wrong. For me it turned out that I had at some point flashed the wrong recovery version. See post 576. I did as someone suggested and flashed one of the firmwares in the first post and then the install proceeded correctly.
[One (M8) General] oldblue910:
Thanks! First post updated.
[One (M8) General] Android The Greek:
I am impressed. There are many subtle changes that I think greatly improve the interface.
[One (M8) General] squabbi:
So in theory I can download this and flash it as an update.zip in stock recovery?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
If you have a GPe phone (or did the full conversion RUU and have CID GOOGL001) yes you can just copy it to the sdcard and flash it in the GPe stock recovery. I did it this morning and it's fine and I didn't have to change MID from my EU unbranded one for it either (but you DO have to have the GPe CID)
[One (M8) General] squabbi:
Ah OK. Sweet! I'll give it a go now. :)

Edit. Is it the external or internal SD?
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
I don't have an external sdcard, so internal :)
[One (M8) General] squabbi:
Haha! Okey thanks again! :)
[One (M8) General] drake2007:
graffixnyc: I did the full conversion of my M8 using your process with the 4.4.2, changed my CID to GOOGL001 then, bootloader is still locked. Shall I wait for the OTA to be pushed to my phone or download the zip and flash. Question is: Will OTA work with my locked bootloader? or if I flash the OTA zip file will that overwrite and wipe everything?

I think you should clarify the update process in your thread for those of us that did it with 4.4.2. I see that it has been updated now to change the CID to GOOGL001 but there are still many open questions. In other words now that I have a GPE converted what's the easiest way to upgrade to 4.4.3 with and without deleting all data.

And before anyone says go read (I have) but the point of XDA is to motivate people to do customizations and get to contribute to new developments. If we make it harder for people to find the answers they need, then we're causing the opposite effect: We'll scare people away from modding and customizing and keep drinking the carriers kool-aid
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
You can download it and flash the stock recovery, I did it this morning
[One (M8) General] drake2007:
Can you please elaborate? Do I need to relock my bootloader before doing anything?
[One (M8) General] PhoenixMert:
All working perfectly no issues with wifi or anything else. Even feels a tad smoother.
[One (M8) General] patrikr:
I have a custom recovery, where can I find the stock one to flash?
[One (M8) General] euki69:
Could someone elaborate on how to flash please? :c

I've done the conversion to GPE. My cid is GOOGL001 and I've flashed everything back to stock except my kernel. (i can't find a stock kernel download link) :c I've renamed it to "update.zip" and dropped it in my root folder. (don't have a SD CARD). in stock recovery my device doesn't seem to detect the zip file.

I'm also S-off and bootloader unlocked.

Thanks for any help

Edit: Could I just flash a custom recovery and flash from there? o.O

But I haven't until now.

So I think maybe the GPE version have the same situation.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
OTA updates are rolled out in batches so not everyone gets it at the same time. Luckily it's easy enough to download and flash manually (for both the GPe and Nexus phones)

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

How can I revert the Settings to proceed?
[One (M8) General] Alucardd:
Assuming you used the app SDFix

1. Get a file explorer with root access to navigate to the system folder system/etc/permissions

2. When you ran the SD Fix app back then, the app should have created a backup of the original platform.xml. It's renamed to something like platform.xmlpresdfix

3. Just delete(or backup) the current platform.xml and rename platform.xmlpresdfix to platform.xml

For this, I used FX explorer and enable Mount R/W system folder

Also, having mirrorenabler for Chromecast causes issues so disable the settings inside the app first

MX Player app H.264 Video Streams on 5.0.1

I'm still waiting for the 5.0.1 OTA for my GPe M8, but I do have it installed on my Nexus 7 (2013).

On the N7, playback of H.264 videos on 5.0.1 is an issue, and I'm concerned whether the M8 will experience the same problem. On the N7, using MX Player, startup of H.264 streams of about 10 MB delays about 30 seconds before the video starts to play, vs.. about 3 seconds on the N7 or on my M8 on 4.4.4.

Can anyone with 5.0.1 on the M8 confirm success or failure using MX Player for H.264 streams on the M8? If it fails, I may hold off on the upgrade.

[One (M8) General] vicw:
Regarding my report of a long, 30 second delay in playing H.264 files, using the Synology DS Cam app Recording Playback feature on the N7 (2013) on 5.0.1, I just discovered that this problem doesn't occur if I copy the file to Dropbox, and then play it from there.

It appears now. that the problem isn't really with to the MX Player, but instead, it may be in DS Cam, installed on the N7, under 5.0.1. There's no telling from just playing the file itself, whether the DS Cam playback problem will occur on the M8 on 5.0.1, unless someone else currently on that device and OS also uses DS Cam to play recorded surveillance video clips.

UPDATE; FWIW, I just installed the OTA update on the GPe M8, and using the Synology DS Cam app, I experience the same, approx. 30 second delay in playing video clips. I have emailed Synology about the apparent app issue with 5.0.1.

Thanks. Since my initial post, I discovered that the long H.264 playback delay problem is apparently in the Synology DS Cam app, and is not a general problem streaming H.264 files on 5.0.1.

I have been in contact with Synology, and they have indicated that their engineers are investigating this problem, so I'm optimistic they will be able to restore normal behavior to the app soon.

UPDATE: I just found that the problem only occurs in the DS Cam app when HTTPS is enabled. As a workaround, I disabled HTTPS on the login. It works with the native video player, or using MXPlayer.

That was the result I got when I tried to do the same thing on my stock GPe unit, and I believe, from all I've reviewed on the subject since, that you can't manually apply an update as long as S-ON (Security ON) is set. I backed off and waited for the actual OTA, which I got yesterday. It installed flawlessly for me.

Let the music play for about 30 seconds after you turn the screen off. Don't press any buttons during that time. After, try using the volume up and down keys to change the volume. 9/10 I can't change it. It happens on speakers and headphones. Eventually the volume will change if you spam the button constantly. It is a really bad bug.
