Hello everyone,

i have a problem i tried to flash the new firmware

i do this step by step :

If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)

If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.

Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)

Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip

Open command prompt

Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)

Connect device to the PC

In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location

Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)

Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)

Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Type: fastboot reboot

Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

and after the step fastboot reboot, the phone stay on the first blank screen with the htc's logo. i tried to reboot the phone with power+vol up : idem. What do i do ? :p
[One (M8) Android Development] BazmanFoo:
Hold power button for 20 secs
[One (M8) Android Development] wil123:
i tried to hold the power button for 20 secs but idem. The screen is responsive and when i hold the power button the led turn on (sense 6 toolbox mod) it's weird!
[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
Hold power and volume up for 10 secs then release both and press volume down. You will arrive in bootloader.
[One (M8) Android Development] wil123:
Thanks stathis95194 it worked :) however when i want to unlock the bootloader with the hasoon's 2000 toolkit. It don't work, i tried with fastboot and i have this message :

signature verify failed

any idea?
[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
No idea , I never use these tools. If you are familiar with fastboot commands search for vomers guides and it explains everything step by step

Oh I'm a grumpy old bastard tonight...hey..

Been flashing and supporting you since here Mike - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10193000&postcount=3520 with all 4 of my kids and wifes phone. Bought ya a Bourbon to say goodbye. Thanks for ROMS but I can't sustain the no OTA's, no post markers in your OP for new releases, and obviously recently, no warning about FW upgrade needed for 4.4.4, which has caused 'this thread to be highlighted' everytime I log on, that could have been avoided. Cheers mate, and all the best with your new life. Fitzy
[One (M8) Android Development] adri72:
I just installed 20.3 -- tried an install over without wiping first, and then a second time wiping. No WiFi in both cases, so I restored the backup of 11.1 I took right before trying 20.3

Does 20.1 has the same issue? If not I'll upgrade to it, otherwise I'll just wait for 20.4

- Adriano
[One (M8) Android Development] FitzysN6:
Hey Adriano, did you update your Firmware base to 3.28.401.6 ?

Are you S-OFF ? If not you probably wont be able to.

Did you just go to the OP and see that there was a new ARHD ROM, download it, and try to flash ?

Hope my link below helps..

[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
Read, read and read again. You need to update firmware first or else you will not have wifi
[One (M8) Android Development] adri72:
Hi FitzysM8 -- I am S-OFF and yes, I downloaded a new ARHD ROM and flashed it without much reading around at all. The thing is, after I flashed it I went in settings -> about -> software info and the firmware reported there was 3.28.401.6 (since I read in the ROM's info that it included the new firmware already, so I figured no need for me to get and flash the firmware separately).

- Adriano
[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
No ROM includes firmware. This is something that needs to be installed separately. Since you are s-off this is easily done. As soon as you update firmware to 3.28.401.6 you will be good to go.

[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
I think where it says "Rom updated to latest firmware xxxxxx" in the OP is where he got that from. I must admit, it is a a bit ambiguous to someone unfamiliar with ARHD/ROM flashing.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Yeah, to be accurate that should really say "software" not "firmware."
[One (M8) Android Development] Vandam500:
I had this same problem when I went to 20.3. What I did was uninstall and reinstall the YouTube app. That resolved the issue for me.
[One (M8) Android Development] adri72:
Yes that's where I got it from... guess I read the post too quickly and I misunderstood that instead of firmware was referring to the software version...

I guess YouTube music apps keep failing every now and than. As I in one of previous post it gets fixed if you clean cache or uninatall and reinstall the apps. But after few hours they fail again.

A lot of people on here seem to be correct t about battery life. 20.1 was outstanding. I'd get home after a 12 hour day and still have 70% left.

20.3 though I'm lucky to get home with 20%.

Same usage etc etc.

20.3 is excellent. Normally I'm charging my device every night, now I'm charging once every 3 days. In that period, I used the phone for navigating without charging for around 4 hours, called around 3 hours, a lot of hours of texting around on whatsapp, multiple photos were taken and some web browsing in between. Perfect, very perfect. Thanks Mike!

ARHD has always been great for Battery, but I switched to ART on 20.3 and it was really bad (phone running very hot too). Switched back to Davlik and battery life is much much better.
[One (M8) Android Development] Zulake:
Did you do a dirty or clean flash? For myself, I did a dirty flash on top of 20.1, didn't wipe anything at all and everything worked perfect except H/K. I'm also running ART. Was running ART aswell when dirty flashing 20.3 over 20.1.

But I will wait for a big update before I do another clean install to get H/K back. Barely using the phone audio anyway, I always listen on the laptop or desktop. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] D@rkDroid:
To flash 20.3 you need to update latest firmware and to do that your phone needs to be S-OFF... Go back like 30 to 40 pages back and you'll find more valuable info on what your asking bro.
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
I did a dirty flash too over 20.1. Again, didn't install any extras.
[One (M8) Android Development] maikel_swe:
Cool, Happy to help.

I usually install the ROM first, boot into RUU mode flash FW twice, then boot into ARHD, flash custom recovery again and done.

But as you said booth ways work perfectly fine.
[One (M8) Android Development] Zulake:
Well, guess it's based on luck then how much batterylife you get.

Maybe it's an app draining the battery. I don't have too much stuff installed at all times. Only a total of 41 extra applications next to the system applications.

Hello, I'm stuck with an unlocked phone that I can't OTA update, so I want to bite the bullet and install this custom rom.

I have an o2 HTC M8 phone with KItKat 4.4.2 (cid 2___001 and a version main of 1.54.206.10) if I use sunshine to switch it to s-off, can I upgrade my firmware safely and then install this rom? If so, which version of the firmware should I install for my phone please?

I'm assuming that if I install the requisite firmware I'd be good to go with the latest version of ARHD?

Thanks in advance.

[One (M8) Android Development] Mischa42:
Hi Raadius, I guess you can not, as ARHD 20.3 requires firmware 3.28.401.6 (which results in HBOOT 3.19.0.0000 and RADIO 1.21.21331147A1.19_2G). In order to flash new firmware you need to be S-OFF. In order to get S-OFF read one of the previous postings (SunShine). I can recommend Vomers guide on how to flash and install.

Cheers, and Good luck,

Mischa

so we need to do a clean install of 20.3 to get audio working with H/K?

cuz I did a dirty flash over 20.1 and lost audio as well.
[One (M8) Android Development] OmniSlyfer:
I think you are a little confused XD. Currently we are on Sense 6 which is Android 4.4.4 . Android 5 (Lollipop) is still under development, and it will be relaease on november I think, and only Nexus devices will receive it immediatly.

[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Your software version may be 3.28.401.6 on Android 4.4.4, but I'll ask again - did you update your firmware? Just flashing the ROM does NOT update your firmware. That is a separate process not covered by this thread.

If you have not completed that process, then that's what you need to do for the ROM to work fully.
[One (M8) Android Development] chawker:
Thank you very much.

I will read how to do this. cheers for helping :good::good::good:
[One (M8) Android Development] AndiTails:
READ. THE. THREAD.

You will either need S-OFF, in which case you can change your CID, or flash back to completely stock as do an OTA update (if available for your carrier).

This has all been detailed in this thread over and over and over.

AND is really NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ROM.

Asking for support for flashing your firmware in this thread is being off-topic.

Seriously, guys, this is getting a little beyond a joke........

Yes. Firmware is updated. And I am running 20.3. Just as a secondary rom. My primary is 4.4.3 I think. That's the only thing I can think of. Maybe the old gallery version is carrying over. If someone could upload the newer gallery apk I could see if that is the case.

Goddamn play time

Okay guys, so I'm basically new around.. didn't have time to even edit my profile. I do read and search for known issues, but didn't manage to find what is up with mine. I have an international variant of htc one m8, eastern europe. The first rom I flashed was arhd 11.1 and now got the right firmware and flashed this 20.3 beauty. Thanks mike and others for a delicious experience and performance boost. Anyway, I have this issue and beside it, everything works as it should. From time to time, when I want to play something, it goes for less than a second and stops. Trying to play again, same result. It happens on every player installed, on youtube and on browser, with music or video. It was present on 11.1 too. I had h/k mod on backthere, but now I'm with boomsound. A temporary fix is possible with a reboot. And after some run time, comes again. No other issues found, but this is a big and nasty one. Any help would be highly appreciated :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
Did you dirty flash from 11.1 to 20.3? I would suggest to try a clean install and try it for a few days before installing or restoring any apps. If you have no problems then start restoring one by one until you find the rogue app that creates the problem.
[One (M8) Android Development] eagledon:
I did a wipe and clean install in both cases, no restoring apps either after installing the new rom. Got them one by one from Google Play. I will try to reinstall things around, but I don't think that's the issue here. Thanks for your answer!
[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
Did you try flashing a different rom then? very strange indeed.
[One (M8) Android Development] eagledon:
No, those 2 versions only. Had stock about 3 months without any problem and ofcourse, no play issues. Was kinda sceptic and afraid, but overall performance improvements made me step on the dark side. Should I try something else, like viperone, to see if issue is still there? I hope there's a fix on this :)

ViperOne is highly customised. If you want to have something more close to ARHD and stock rom you should try MaximusHD.

At least you will know if the problem is ROM related or it's something else.

Dead M8 after flashing ARHD 20.3

Today I flashed on the ARHD 20.3 and the install looks like it went well, the phone rebooted, I heard a chime, and then black screen. Won't turn on, and no charging light showing when plugged into the wall charger. I had 80% battery left when I started the flash. I was coming from the stock VzW 4.2.2 (rooted).

I have previously used the volume up + power to get a reboot out of the phone when it locked up on the red vzw screen, but that's not working this time either.

I saw a previous post, about this and I think he said he let it sit overnight and then plugged power in the next day and it charged and worked.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] CinRyan:

Update:

I tried the volume up + power again .. this time for nearly 45 seconds before it finally did turn off and reboot.

Again I get the HTC white screen / green letters and then a chime, and black screen.

Now I'm able to get reboot via volume up + power in 10 seconds every single time.

How do I get back into the boot loader now though?

I've been trying to just hold down the volume up but that doesn't get me there.
