ARHD 53.1 working on Verizon

Yesterday night, I went from ARHD 43 to ARHD 53.1 on Verizon and so far everything seems to work.

My steps (I'm S-OFF):

1) Through fastboot I installed a firmware called "M8_6.12.401.4_WWE_TWRP2870_mod_for_verizon.zip". I don't remember where I got it. (Anyway, I think this was a wrong step. See step 5 below).

2) Through the TWRP just installed, I installed ARHD 53.1

3) Then I installed the kernel I got from this link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64859959&postcount=33

4) I rebooted to discover that I cleaned accidentally my sdcard (bye bye to my backups, pictures, downloads, ROMs and everything else :crying:). Even so Google backup activated and started reinstalling everything.

5) My cellphone couldn't get signal no matter what I did, so I installed the firmware "m8MfirmwareTWRP3_0_0_1.zip" that I got here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972

After the steps above, everything seems "normal": wifi, bluetooth, mobile data. The status bar icons seem smaller than in Lollipop.

I say "normal" because my phone is sluggish right now. But I guess that's because I have more than a hundred apps installed. In Lollipop it was even worse: I couldn't even show the phone to my friends without it freezing. Right now, it is "only slow", like a low-end phone. :-/

I'm also concerned about the battery that becomes worse and worse. Today, the phone turned off with the battery at 34%. Some months ago, that happened with the battery at 20%... (edit 29th March 2016: after some time, my phone seems way better. It's less lagged and the battery doesn't turn off so suddenly)

By the way, my phone turned off and I didn't loose any widget configuration. But I already enabled all permissions to all apps.

Finally, thank you Mike for this ROM! When I bought the phone, I couldn't use the stock ROM for more than 5 minutes. This ROM is a lifesmartphone saver.
[One (M8) Android Development] McAlister:
The battery is very good for me and the keyboard is laggy only when there is a gif on the screen. Your problem is not the ROM. And in my mind if you do a dirty flash to v54 you will not fix them.
[One (M8) Android Development] chiman:
I've installed SuperSu 2.68 and solved the laggy keyboard problem on my device.

How to clean install/format?

Hi,

is there a good guide how to make a clean install with formatting everything on the phone?
[One (M8) Android Development] puredp1:
I was dealing with same issues but after clean instal no lag great battery!
[One (M8) Android Development] null0seven:
brtbrt

Go to Recovery > Wipe > select: TOP 4 (cache, dalvik, data, system) & internal SD card.

Reboot TO recovery.

Copy the rom on internal memory.

Flash the rom.

First check if you have corect firmware & rom for your phone. To be certain that rom works on your device.
[One (M8) Android Development] hptechpro:
Wow...working fine on Sprint with Hypernova kernel very cool for ARHD Rom,many thanks for mike.
[One (M8) Android Development] eskimosound:
Really choppy and slow response and animations. Any idea what it is? Do I need correct firmware? I've clean installed on super cid m8.
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
What firmware do you have? Of course the latest firmware is the best to use and stops problems like WiFi issues etc.
[One (M8) Android Development] eskimosound:
I've got lollipop firmware, with faux locked and rid of red writing. I would want the same for mm but have not seen faux locked and s-on.
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
You'd be better on MM firmware, however there are none that I know with red txt missing, that seems to be frowned upon by lots of devs now.
[One (M8) Android Development] eskimosound:
What folder does the firmware zip have to be in, I can't remember, I just know you put the zip somewhere, boot into bootloader and it just installs...
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
You have to rename it first to 0P6BIMG.zip and place it on the root of the sd card. Then go to bootloader screen and it will flash. Remember to delete or rename it after otherwise it will flash every time you go to the bootloader screen.
[One (M8) Android Development] eskimosound:
Thanks, it's 12 months since I changed my firmware..
[One (M8) Android Development] Balajumb:
Try the thread by [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] he's got the ones you want
[One (M8) Android Development] davlee_81:
Hi. I have a lollipop firmware. If I install this ARHD and perform data wiping using AROMA, is it safe or still risky?

Should I install the ARHD ROM for lollipop and update to this to be on the safe side? Is this a viable option?
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
You should return to stock, take the OTA updates from your carrier and then flash this version once your firmware is on Marshmallow. Start HERE.
[One (M8) Android Development] davlee_81:
The prob is I cant update using OTA updates.. it just failed... It was a terrible experience for me. The phone went to bootloop and fail to reboot to home screen. Now, I'm already back to stock lollipop.
[One (M8) Android Development] 92lleo:
Sounds like you didn't completely return to stock. What guide did you use?
[One (M8) Android Development] eskimosound:
Thanks, I can't find a marshmallow one for my phone but I'm on the right track.

Got rid of red writing, just want faux locked etc.
[One (M8) Android Development] davlee_81:
Before I unlock the device, my unit was stock, never touched rooting before. Even then, I cannot update to MM. After that, suddenly the phone just went into bootloop once I took it out of my pocket. I did nothing to cause it. Then I unlock it with the help from androidforum

androidforums.com/threads/help-htc-m8-stuck-at-boot-up-screen.1012468/

After following the steps to return back to stock, still cannot update to MM...
[One (M8) Android Development] 92lleo:
So to be sure: Current situation is: unlocked and no chance to ota to mm? Then there are two possibilities:

1st: Get s off and flash the firmware yourself, then install arhd (or custom rom of your choice)

2nd: If you are back to stock (stock system partition, stock recovery AND relocked), wipe data and try to ota. if that doesn't work there is a deeper problem i guess.
[One (M8) Android Development] xcongc:
HTC one m8 Verizon is not supported right?
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Not officially, however you can flash a Verizon compatible kernel IMMEDIATELY after flashing the ROM and BEFORE the first boot. Then it will work.
[One (M8) Android Development] cakira:
As I wrote in my post, I had to use a Verizon firmware to obtain (GSM) cellphone signal.
[One (M8) Android Development] vallick:

[One (M8) Android Development] galkurn:
When the time comes to do the upgrade from 53.1 to 54, can we just install the new version over 53.1 or should a wipe be done?
[One (M8) Android Development] mobileman88:
Good minor updates like this usually a wipe is not needed but only recommended
[One (M8) Android Development] westeight:
Think of flashing a ROM as akin to taking a mighty, well compacted sh1t.

You don't need to wipe afterwards, but it's always best to do so, just to be on the safe side... :cowboy:
[One (M8) Android Development] adam1890:
mike ok guys
[One (M8) Android Development] Ragarianok:
Silly question:

Do you have to go back to stock before installing this ROM?

I had noticed that in the installation instructions that there is a link referring to returning to stock, but I was curious as to whether or not this is absolutely necessary.
[One (M8) Android Development] Fonz600:
So I decided to flash the rom again since i was having battery and keyboard problems.

However, I have a quick question. When I originally flashed to 53.1 I converted the sd card to internal memory.

I did a wipe and flash and now I'm wondering if I need to format the memory card again or is there a way for the phone to recognise the card outside of recovery mode as its stating its an unsupported sd card now.
[One (M8) Android Development] McAlister:
Only if you are s-on and not under Marshmallow.
[One (M8) Android Development] rex1701:
Hi, I thought too little was happening here so I moved to lyapota's GPE rom.

[One (M8) Android Development] 92lleo:
depends. if you are on mm fimware (6.xx.xx....) it should work
[One (M8) Android Development] Sotik11:
Can someone tell me why (in any 3rd-party application) my SD-Card shows as "9C28-08C3" and not as "ext_sd" like on previous version - Revolution HD 45.0 (LolliPop)? And some 3rd-party applications even don't see it at all!

I was made ALL wipes (incl Internal partition) before install new version of this ROM
[One (M8) Android Development] twistednl:
This is not because of this specific rom but because of Android marshmallow.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sotik11:
Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean.... Just tell me, is it correct name of SD-Card for this version of ROM or not? And someone else has this bug too or it is just me were so "lucky"?

i`m s on, rooted ,stock rom, elementalx kernel

i have 2.5 ghz version of M8(M8y)

Do i need to flash 6.12.401.4 ?

I have already marshmallow but build number it is 6.12.708.12 , so, i can just flash in recovery arhd?
[One (M8) Android Development] McAlister:
Build number is not the firmware version, you have to do a getvar all. If you are s-on you could not flash your firmware. But you are with stock Marshmallow so I think you firmware must be up to date. I dont know if you can flash this ARHD because of M8y but if you can you should wait for the ARHD v54, it will come soon.
[One (M8) Android Development] shinyghosts:
Thanks:o

How to get back to STOCK from hd revolution 53.1.

I have Htc one m8 (Europe) and would like to install htc stock unlocked/developers and get OTA.

Dont like .exe files or any windows procedure, it will be good if there is any "simple" procedure to put stock back via command line via linux and using boot recovery twrp.

How to do it? Where to find stock image (non .exe).

There's no guarantee you'll get LTE for a signal, even in an area that has 4G. 4G is what shows on mine when in LTE areas. On another simcard I get H+ in the same area I get 4G with the other sim.

Help! Bootloop with S-On!

Hello all... I was in the process of updating from 4.20.531.5 to 6.20.531.5 (T-Mobile US) and have ran into a snag that I cannot get out of. Initially I downloaded the proper zip files associated with my carrier ID and tried updating that way, but it would fail saying Signatures phase failed (error code 12). I tried it with 2 different zip files and both did the same thing. I resorted to then do it with a RUU exe downloaded from HTC's own website and tried it that way which subsequently gave me an error again, but this time with an error code 155. I have a suspicion that the RUU exe file went ahead and erased the phone and then did the signature checking which it could not pass and now has rendered the phone into a state of no ROM and into a bootloop. PLEASE HELP!

*ANY* application installation that i am trying to install from my folder on SD Card is taking unimaginable amount of time - for example the FaceBook APK installation has been stuck @ the install screen for over 15 mins & WhatsApp too good 7+ mins to install from an APK existing locally on the phone itself.

Hi guys,

I'm currently running 5.0.1, ARHD 43.0.

I would like to update to the latest ARHD version.

However, I'm still using the old firmware from when I first got the phone ( I remember flashing the new firmware last year, along with S-Off, etc).

Below are my firmware info:

S-OFF

CID-11111111

HBOOT- 3.19.0.0000

OS-4.16.709.9

What firmware should I flash so I can use the latest ARHD Marshmallow version? I'm using the phone in Hong Kong.

Can I flash this firmware, 6.12.1540.4? (link to firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24349802275799345 )

it's been a long time since I s-off and flashed the firmware, so it's all a little confusing to me, I just don't want to brick my phone or something due to the wrong firmware.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi folks,

my ARHD53.1 got laggy since a couple of days. I did a couple of reboots but it didn't help. Is there any option to Seeder which is, unfortunately, not working with Android 6?

My phone worked okay for month but, to be honest, never had the performance that ARHD 45.x with Android 5 had. It is acceptable with ARHD 53.1 but now it's going real slow... I have Xposed with xPrivacy installed (since month so it can't be the reason now). Has somebody the same experience at does anybody has any ideas how to reduce lags? Any configuration hints (App doze mode, etc.)?

Cheers,

Mischa

Hi, see my post where I described what I did to upgrade to ARH53.1. It might help you.

Please note that if you have a Verizon M8 you need a specific kernel to flash. Search for it before you start flash. I did not install a kernel as I have a European M8.

Good luck,

Mischa

Hey guys, new to the AR rom here. Great rom btw! I was wondering if anyone had some advice on mods. My bro likes to color his status bar and move some icons around and also color his navbar. I tried the sense toolbox but some of the mods just wouldn't stick. Sometimes they worked and after a reboot they'd be gone. Some of them wouldn't take at all. I have him on gravitybox now but I seem to be having a similar issue. Some mods take and some do nothing. The only thing I did backwards by mistake was installing the xposed apk before installing the framework but I'm not sure if that would be my problem. Does anyone have any advice?
