Another upgrade report

Hi folks,

here's what I done to upgrade from ARHD 45.0 (Firmware 4.16.401.13) to ARHD 53.1 (Firmware: 6.12.401.4). It might help others to compare their update steps and results.

1) Downloaded firmware "M8_6.12.401.4_WWE_TWRP2870_NoWipe" file from Firmware Flashing and saved it in ADB folder.

2) Go to bootloader and check firmware version

-> adb reboot bootloader

-> fastboot getvar all

6) Manually start recovery (used menu on mobile to go to HBoot -> recovery)

7) In TWRP I went to wipe menue and did wipe of cache, data, dalvik, internal sd. In addition I choose to format (type yes to format internal).

8) Installed ARHD 53.1 from external sdcard. Choosed wipe in Aroma installer.

9) Reboot in TWRP. I was asked to install SuperSU. I choose "Do not install" button and did not touch the swipe bar below. Just pressed button.

10) After reboot it took 1 minute and mobile reboots again. After second reboot it took about 10 minutes before you can see that all apps are updated. This took another 10-15 minutes. Afterwards it reboots again.

11) ARHD 53.1 works like charm :)

12) Downloaded the No-Red-Text patch for firmware 6.12.401.4 here.
