Could u link me to the firmwares u are referring to and explain exactly what in the text file u edited there's no instructions for flashing new firmware or links to the 4.4.3 firmware in the OP. If I missed it after reading over the OP 4 times then I need glasses or something LOL
[One (M8) Android Development] jtommyj:
Ok everything on vzw worked except WiFi without updating firmware and that's a plunge I'm not ready to take for one Rom.
[One (M8) Android Development] exbarboss:
It worked for me too! But still has an issue with aroma! Got it after update firmware. I installed modded one without red text.
[One (M8) Android Development] Tower1972:
Well for starters are you s-off? If not...ya need to do that..if so..inside the firmware file is another file called android-info. What I did was I changed the first thing listed to my model ID, which was 0P6B12000..my Model ID..then I changed one of the CIDs to 11111111 since that is what my CID is (aka Supercid. dont know if this was needed to be changed but I did it anyway for the hell of it)...I used this version http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53992986&postcount=7762 since it has the red text removed from the boot screen

Then follow the infamous Vomers guide to flash..here

[One (M8) Android Development] Alaris:
just out of curiosity will the ATT RUU also return my firmware back to ATT Stock firmware?
[One (M8) Android Development] Alpione:
Tower1972 covered it. :)

Edit: Actually, a clarification. The Firmware file is a Zip file. To edit the Android-info.txt file, you need to extract it, edit it and put it back in.

When you do edit it, you'll need your Model ID and CID. You can get those from fastboot. Instructions are in the Vomers guide linked above. Edit the text file, update the Firmware Zip with it, and then continue with flashing like in the guide.

Inside the ARHD 8.1 zip file.

That's terrible advice, an OTA update is not complete, it will only update some of the files and could brick the device.

An RUU contains firmware, yes.

I'm s-off and super cid thanks for the info
[One (M8) Android Development] randp1:
Is this even worth updating, seems like a lot of problems and hassles... Is the rom smoother?
[One (M8) Android Development] OGhoul:
Am I to understand that 9.1 requires S-Off?

Firewater told me that I'll never be able to achieve S-Off, so I don't believe I'll be able to flash firmware, if that's required for 9.1.
[One (M8) Android Development] Alpione:
Yes. Most of the newer Sense ROMs require updating the firmware.

And if Firewater doesn't work, you can use Sunshine. It will definitely work but costs $25 per phone. It's legit though. Same people that wrote Firewater.

[One (M8) Android Development] OGhoul:
Thanks. I was hoping to avoid that, but I guess I gotta take the plunge.
[One (M8) Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Sunshine. :)

(I know some folks have issues paying for unlock and if you are one of them, feel free to ignore - just reminding that the option is there.)
[One (M8) Android Development] OGhoul:
I don't have a problem with it (I have the funds at the moment), it's more of a case of being annoyed that the freebie route didn't work for me. I'm also out of the swing of things; I went back to iOS for about the last 9 months and I'm rusty. I remember just enough to be dangerous at this point.

Re-noobied-again question: What's the best way to avoid having to redownload, repatch, and re-log-into my apps? I have Ti Backup Pro, if that helps. Or should I be making backups from my recovery?

Anyway. 9.1, since it's some kind of secret doo-dad, would it be advisable to just stick with my 8.1/Elemental X .19 combo until it's further fleshed out?
[One (M8) Android Development] Savant:
To your second question you can use tibu pro since, it'll be easier for you in the long run. I would try it because you can always restore your back up if you don't like it.
[One (M8) Android Development] Alpione:
Yes, TiBu is the way to go. I do a quick backup of my apps before I flash. After the first time it's usually a very quick process. Then you can restore it on the new ROM.

The 9.1 ROM, honestly, is about the same as the 8.1 ROM. I did it because I lucked out when Firewater worked today and I wanted to do something with it. :)

[One (M8) Android Development] hx3:
If you're on 9.x, it's recommended to not use that kernel as it's not fully compatible with 4.4.3. Use the stock kernel that comes with the ROM.

If you have a nandroid backup you can also just restore the boot partition only. That's the kernel. Faster.

Mike I've been running 9.1 for about 13 hours now and haven't run into any issues. Of course I upgraded my firmware prior to installing the ROM, did a clean install and am using the stock kernel. Great job as usual. Everyone should just bite the bullet and do a clean install since it's very obvious that it makes for a smoother experience.
[One (M8) Android Development] djpabz23:
Once your device turned on, did you get the navbar with the htc logo? Because I can't seem to get passed that.
[One (M8) Android Development] jkt97401:

[One (M8) Android Development] djpabz23:
Managed to flash the rom but, it won't let me go on with the initial setup. It just shows the navbar with the HTC logo. I just wiped everything and will retry.
[One (M8) Android Development] ccw1134:
I believe so. I remember one part took a little longer than I expected but I don't remember exactly where in the process that happened. I installed the new firmware. Once that was successful I booted into recovery, flashed 9.1 and selected data wipe. Nothing fancy.

I suppose I would make sure your firmware update was successful first. Flash it again and make sure you follow the instructions by flashing twice before rebooting.
[One (M8) Android Development] djpabz23:
Thanks for the tip, I'll try flashing firmware again and see how it goes.

[One (M8) Android Development] y2kbadbug:
I really think people are failing to see how difficult it is for Verizon users than simply saying "flash the firmware". Obviously Verizon users need a different firmware than the standard, iirc. I have not seen a single person provide any URLs to anything related to VERIZON specific firmwares. I've spent a lot of time reading over pages and pages of posts searching for that. There are so many different firmware links floating in the past few pages its just scary to even want to consider using any, I hope its possible that we can get something more official and specific on the firmware thing.

Until then, I will be sticking with 8.1.

Either way, I thank mike for his hard work, and still love this ROM. Just need to wait some time to use 9.1 :)

[One (M8) Android Development] iweksler:
You're perfectly right. I am also vzw.

Actually there aren't many links for the firmware running - it is only one kind of firmware available: International/European(0P6B10000) (with or without the "red text"). There are some bold guys installing this on branded devices (AT&T, Sprint etc.). This can be done by either changing the modelid in the phone or in the firmware zip. This though would not help if the hardware is not compatible with the firmware. This incompatibility would show sooner or later. Wrong firmware can even cause physical damage to the device.

So the wise and cautious should wait until the firmware for their brand appears somewhere.

Notwithstanding, the bold may get lucky lol. Those "who boldly go where no man has gone before". The question is: what for?

Does this mean I should not flash this firmware on my Australian M8? I changed the MID to European but it still will not flash any way for some reason??

However, see the next post of y2kbadbug, I wouldn't do this.

BTW, how did you changed the mid?
[One (M8) Android Development] y2kbadbug:
It's not worth the money or hassle than just to wait. I don't hold anyone in arhd responsible for this. Verizon has always been a difficult carrier when it comes to this stuff. I cannot wait for us to be able to use it. I probably would recommend for all vzw users to wait until we get our specific firmware if you wish to not brick your phone or cause any other issues.

I know until someone can point me to that specific firmware I won't be upgrading. Went back to 8.1 and very happy again.

[One (M8) Android Development] an0ther:
Yes you can, the ruu will wipe your phone. You can use the firmware.zip out of the att ota package, it works fine. Do not try to modify it, just grab the firmware.zip out of the 1.58 ota package. Its all over the att forums. This will not wipe your phone. This will not brick your phone either as long as you don't modify it.
[One (M8) Android Development] Alaris:
Alright just so I am clear as firmware flashing is new to me. I can run the RUU.exe and completely return my phone to carrier stock but wipe it in the process or pick out the firmware from the ota and flash it in order to avoid wiping my phone. Thanks again
[One (M8) Android Development] BenPope:
RUU is fine... OTA firmware is partial, it depends on previous state.
[One (M8) Android Development] an0ther:
correct, always follow instructions on flashing firmware. Never mod a firmware.zip as they are signed and have to be properly decrypted to modify. Flashing firmware only flashes the firmware and you would either need to load stock backup or flash older rom. ruu.exe is a program that puts the phone into its stock state and will wipe phone but will not mess with boot loader or soff. There is a guide in the att forums for returning from 2.12 firmware to 1.58 att firmware. Modding firmware causes bricks! Even something as simple as pulling out 1 file could cause your phone to never boot again. Flashing firmware or ruu will remove your custom recovery and kernel if you have one so be ready to flash recovery again. Soff required for downgrading firmware which you would already have to have upgrading firmware.
