I updated this evening, but I really did not like how the phone was responding after the update.

So I backed up everything and decided to do a full reset.

And I can tell you that it made a difference, at least in my case. :)

Few thoughts: I don't like the new Flashlight, as several others have pointed out. It's slow and only has one setting.

[One (M8) General] Pepaaa:
Hi guys,

My phone is stock unmodified unrooted HTC one M8 European unbraded.

Last night I received OTA, however after installation was about 83% (watch the phone display), red triangle appeared. After ~2 minutes the phone restarted itself.

Normal HTC white screen shows, then the phone buzzes, then black screen, then white screen again and another buzz. Then black screen and red triangle. Automatic reboot after ~2 minutes.

What is the easiest cure for this?

Note:

- When I hold power button for 15+ seconds, there is no reaction

- When I hold volume down on reboot - no reaction (no bootloader options)

- When I hold volmue up for and press power button on red triangle screen - no reaction

- basically there is no reaction whatsover to button pressing :(

I hope to find M8 Euro Android M RUU.EXE and then maybe can revive "easily"...
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Nope, it's not. This is just a filter that shows either only not optimized apps or all apps... doze is build in deeply into the system and can not be turned off.

Guys, I need help. I unlocked my phone after i receive M ota. After the phone boots and quick setup I installed twrp and my phone won't boot. Then I made a mistake with wiping system and internal memory through twrp.

What now?

Thank you in advance

Try hold volume down then press power button to get into recovery ..

No RUU exe, only RUU zip available

Restore your previous backup or find the non-rooted backup & its stock recovery before MM then redo the OTA process

I don't have backup. I found non-rooted 4.16.401.10 - TWRP nandroid backup. I need to flash that through twrp? What about recovery?
[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
Go to my thread - http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Read post #1 on how to restore a backup and install stock recovery

then use 4.16.401.13 backup to restore (you'll find it in post #2)

and install 4.16.401.13 stock recovery (you'll find it in post #4)

I don't have the time to upload the 6.12.401.4 backup yet (I have to make one first)

Or you can use RUU.zip - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057

Search on how to use the RUU zip ... I got to go now .. if not I can tell you how.

You can ask in my thread for any questions but I will be around only after 10 hours.

You can make a theme with dark keyboard in HTC Themes web.
[One (M8) General] th3:
The older stock keyboard was far more convenient, and better, than any third party app, in my experience. Mine was perfection.

This one takes up most of my useable screen area and also shows a large empty bar for word prediction even when nothing is being typed. The bar was moveable before and mine was above the emoticons bar when typing. Now it's stuck below it and not moveable as far as I can tell. Noob errors to say the least.

Google Now swipe up doesn't work anymore. It's changed. You have to press and hold on your Home button now and it brings up a semi-transparent search wherever you are, trying to intelligently provide guesstimate googling based on your screen content.

Haptic feedback is laggier than any previous M8 iteration.

Stock bar icons are smaller, slicker.

I'm doing my first battery run now [emoji4]

[One (M8) General] atrako1973:
I had similar experience with red triangle ...it was hard to get phone into phone stock recovery ..once there I saw that the update failed because the phone thought software installed was 4.4.4 not 5.0.1 ..because I installed custom roms inbetween ....so I flashed twrp recovery again ..flashed 4.4.4 again and did back to back updates until marshmallow which installed successfully ..mainly you need to get to phone recovery to find out why the update failed (red triangle ) .

The described behaviour for the flashlight being a little slow to come on and having one intensity, is also how it works on the M9.

Hi all I have one question so I hope that experts will give the correct answer. Before the official update appeared ruu.zip file on a Polish site and then for 3 days arrived official update for HTC One M8 with magical R letter. the question is whether it is one and the same or the difference is still legally ruu is imminent.

[One (M8) General] cortez140369:
Two questions after upgrading to MM.

can I delete manually OTA file or cancel itself after installing (to save internal space)?

In HTC Sync Manager installed on my PC I could not put the file synchronization options to 'external SD'. Now the listbox is grayed out and remains only ' internal memory '. How can we enable the selection?

Thank you

Can someone please confirm that?

Restore works as before [emoji4]
[One (M8) General] deechte:
I can't tell you. I counted on HTC backup to restore my settings after the factory reset. It couldn't find my backup in my dropbox. It only looks in Google Drive. I'm 100% certain I successfully restored a backup from dropbox on Lollipop. I was even surprised about the amount of things it could restore without root.

So, maybe it works if your backup is in Google Drive, maybe it doesn't. It surely doesn't work if your backup is in dropbox.

So thanks HTC, you made me set everything up from scratch.

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

Anyone tried to root 6.12.401.4 version? SuperSU v2.66 BETA from this thread http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344 works ?
[One (M8) General] kukubau:
Yes. I've rooted my M8 right away. You could do a systemless root, flashing first "m8-mmgpe-su-boot-systemless.zip" and then flash "BETA-SuperSU-v2.66-20160103015024.zip". Read more about systemless root in the respective thread.
[One (M8) General] devshin:
Yep, i've read about systemless and system method. And they all need the modified boot image so I was wondering if it'll be the same in GPE or US version (the have modified boot images).

And do I need to flash m8-mmgpe-su-boot-systemless.zip ? v2.60+ versions should modify the boot image automatically...
[One (M8) General] kukubau:
Until the European M 6.0 OTA came out yesterday I was on the US M 6.0 as I've converted my phone to Developer Ed. and I've rooted the phone using the systemless method. No difference between those two what-so-ever. It works fine for both just fine.

[One (M8) General] timbohobbs:
True, you need root to access data/data . Looks like you've lost the backup, if you had root before and did a nandroid you could access it when reverting back, but even that would probably be excessive for a dictionary backup
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
I feel my m8 is pretty snappy after the update, I'm begging to question myself if the factory reset is really worth it since I did one a couple of months ago. Only if it's for the storage savings...

[One (M8) General] mqazimi:
I updated yesterday and noticed that phone was too slow then I did a factory reset and it is fine now works perfect and fast. Later on I realized that I can not access recovery but I do not know if there is any connection with recovery problem because of reset. It's up to you to decide.

To save storage, can I securely delete the update file with no consequences? CCleaner stopped working properly in Marshmallow so I want to save some space to avoid the factory reset. Where can I find the file?

I have set up that after 3 min. the phone will lock(pin lock ). If I tap double on the screen within the 3 min, my phone directly goes to home screen and not locking screen ... Before it was different. Can I change this somewhere ?

[One (M8) General] mojemenouzbolopouzite:
I have noticed one more problem with this new update. It seems that internal video player is laggy when playing HD mp4 movie, movies are just choppy. It was smooth on lollipop. But there is easy workaround, you can install 3rd party player, like VLC, then it works fine.

FYI, I did factory reset.

Backup and reset....

Its been over 24 Hours since update in my case (i did "reset phone" after update), but cant find backup data in Google Drive aplication (Google drive-Settings-Manage backup).

"Backup my data" is enabled all this time, but no backup has been performed. As i understood, this new backup is performed over Wifi roughly every 24 hours when device is in sleep mode, or charging - in short, when is not used. I did not use my phone for hours at the time, but no Backup data is visible in Drive aplication. Wifi is active all this time without interruptions

Am i missing something?

Is there any downside to format SD to internal? I mean lag, if the card fail?
[One (M8) General] geojoking:
Maybe lag, but most probably there will be no lag, if the card is at least UHS Class 1/ Class 10. They recommend UHS Class 3, but that would be appropriate only if the M8 would film in 4K, which is not the case.

The thing is, I don't understand the benefits from formatting your SD card to internal memory. You will never get access to the card, when I connected the phone to the PC, the card is not visible. The only way to use it, is to go in Storage settings, and select the Move option, that moves files to the memory card. What gives?

When I want to transfer a movie to my device, or music, or whatever, I do not "see" the amount of memory provided by the SD.
[One (M8) General] TGyllen:
The thing is that my internal is pretty full. And I don't really use pc transfer, most of my file transfer is cloud uploads. Auto backup pictures/videos etc.
[One (M8) General] deechte:
I'm very curious about this too. If we're to trust this method of backing up, it would give some reassurance to be able to see the files. The menu doesn't even tell if and when it made a backup, at least HTC backup did that.

I did add the sd card to internal storage and my 64GB became available very nicely. Now, when I attach it to my PC I can copy files without trouble, so I don't get what you mean. Instead of internal and external storage, my PC now just sees external storage, which is in fact the same as the internal storage.

Btw, my card is class 10. Nevertheless it complained that it might be too slow during the formatting process. What it that?
[One (M8) General] geojoking:
It complained in my case as well. I guess it complains if the card is not UHS 3. I added a Sandisk card Class 10/UHS 1, with 45/45 r/w speed. It should be more than enough and not lag at all.
[One (M8) General] :
I never used backup. But after reading that Marshmallow has a very sophisticated backup system I turned it on. It too told me that I need to wait 24 hours to see my backup and it took 2 days I guess but it did backup things. Attaching screenshots.
