Do I need to flash FW separately ?

Dear All,

I read this on OP regarding v9.1: 'If your current firmware version doesn't match ROM firmware version, wiping data inside AROMA is highly recommended'

As I'm currently running v8.1, do I need to flash 4.4.3 FW first or is it sufficient for me to full wipe my device in Aroma for the new FW to be incremented ? :D I'm also S-Off.

Just to make sure I'm not skipping anything that would be self-evident for you all guys.

Thanks so much in advance,

Cheers,
[One (M8) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Looks like it then :p

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

I tried both

I am actually running 9.1 with my data from 8.1 and have had no issues so far.

But if I did, i would wipe data before reporting any bugs :)
[One (M8) Android Development] BenPope:
Can you think of another explanation? Y'know, sometimes the obvious is the obvious and doesn't need asking.
[One (M8) Android Development] Toxicology:
Have you flashed the fw you mentioned earlier...from the footballer-link? If so, have you flashed it as it is or have you removed something from the zip?
[One (M8) Android Development] angadreme:
Thanks a lot. I always full wipe, anyway. This ROM is really very stable, so I would definitely question myself if I got any big issue, for sure ;)

BTW, servers are OK for me...so far.
[One (M8) Android Development] mike1986.:
lol be careful then :angel:
[One (M8) Android Development] ferdie553:
hi mike is it ok to flash the latest rom on s-on international?
[One (M8) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Safe, the only issue I had was slow boot issues.

You will also have an old radio.

I would recommend a nadroid backup and then you can see how you feel later ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] 112.bkt:
Can someone please help?

every time I flash the ROM my phone gets stuck at a blank/black screen!

I'm using TWRP v2.7.1.0 is this the problem and which version is recommended if any?
[One (M8) Android Development] BenPope:
Disable the screen timeout in TWRP or just wait like 5 minutes, the screen should come back.
[One (M8) Android Development] My Beer Belly:
OK, I know this question will be asked 100 times in this thread, it already has a few times. I only reiterate this because everyone's situation is different. I know we are in the international forum, but this ROM also supports US carriers. So my question is:

I'm on a US T-Mobile that runs 1.57.531.7 firmware. I have never flashed any of the .401 firmware and had no issues running ARHD in the past. In fact, I was on ARHD when I flashed the new T-Mobile firmware that was released in early June and suffered no issues. I'm wondering if running the 2.12.401.3 firmware is necessary for this rom on US device?

I'm only uncertain because of the new Android base. Otherwise I'm fairly certain it will be exactly as before where I continue to run my carriers firmware and ARHD over top of it. I intend to do a full wipe in TWRP and then flash the rom. I'm also assuming there will be no issues in restoring apps and some data from Titanium despite the new Android base.

Customs kernels

Hi All !

Ne1 tried 9.1 with Faux or Flar's kernels ?
[One (M8) Android Development] ferdie553:
ok thanks i am downloading at the moment will report later. anyway i can always flash the radio by recovery when it is available right?
[One (M8) Android Development] Onem8:
Yeah it doesn't work because its for base 4.4.2 [emoji57]
[One (M8) Android Development] baudy2:
Any other custom kernel works ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Onem8:
We have to wait for a update.. :D
[One (M8) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Not tried radio via recovery on the M8 myself but if it has worked for older versions should work here. The firmware package contains many elements so not upgrading all or some of them could lead to various issues.

I would strongly consider just doing Sunshine, paying the $25 and not looking back until HTC patch the exploit and devices are locked down again.
[One (M8) Android Development] ferdie553:
i tried to run the sunshine and it keeps telling that my M8 is not supported maybe i am one of the unlucky ones.
[One (M8) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Does it not give more details than that?
[One (M8) Android Development] ferdie553:
i tried again and its shows incompatible rom and i need to flash a stock rom instead. btw i have the international version CID__J15.
[One (M8) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Well if you use a custom kernel or art, then try putting those back to stock first.

It would suck if you get an official OTA and then can't S-Off anymore, well worth the peace of mind to just get er done.
[One (M8) Android Development] mike1986.:
This ROM is compatible with Sunshine, must be something else. Are u using ART or Dalvik?
[One (M8) Android Development] BNK3R:

[One (M8) Android Development] Mikanoshi:
If it's a dev build of 4.4.3 and not an officially released base, then widgets can be ProGuarded, so mods will not work (and I also don't want to update for such stuff, because it's ridiculous).
[One (M8) Android Development] My Beer Belly:
Yeah, I think I'm going to hold out for the next official release, whether that is 4.4.3 or 4.4.4. Too much confusion right now with different firmware and not knowing if something doesn't work is a rom issue or a fault in the 4.4.3 test build.
[One (M8) Android Development] miodzicho:
Just installed, dirty flash over 8.1 also with firmware from post earlier. I have feeling, as it's slower and less responsive. I will give time today to test. No other issues so far.

[One (M8) Android Development] bkeaver:
Seriously you dirty flashed a completely different base and you want to say it's slower and less responsive??? Why don't you do a clean install and see if you still get the same results.
[One (M8) Android Development] miodzicho:
Just sharing results, next step is to do clean and compare. A lot of people's are curious about dirty flashing.

[One (M8) Android Development] mike1986.:
Thanks for the feedback anyway :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Sulphy:
I did a dirty flash, and found it a little laggy, also noticed the android version and HTC sense was protected.. thought it was down to a dirty flash, so did a full wipe, and reinstalled... much smoother!!!!!

android version and htc sense still protected :)

doesnt bug me in the least, but again, cracking release from mike! :) :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] ggeralds:
For the shake off asking... T-mo wireless calling supported with this new build?
[One (M8) Android Development] Eiad Ajam:

is there a firmware or something i need to flash before ?

i did full wipe by the way

nevermind it worked now
[One (M8) Android Development] cemmec:
Installed 9.1 (dirty flash from 7.0), and it's working beautifully. Thanks Mike and co!
[One (M8) Android Development] Alpione:
Figures. Just got my M8 on Sunday and flashed 8.1 last night. :)

Was going back and forth on going S-Off, but it appears that everything going forward is based on the new firmware. So I should probably go hit hte Sunshine thread. My first HTC device, so this whole S-Off thing is new.

Thanks for the ROM(s)!

[One (M8) Android Development] jngox3:
Won't be supported at least until T-Mobile releases an updated 4.4.3 compatible ROM for their devices. They are still on 4.4.2
[One (M8) Android Development] ferdie553:
i tried it also and had the same experience.try to connect to a pc and try to reboot it by adb command if its stuck
[One (M8) Android Development] BNK3R:
yeah i am a noob now it worked i downloaded the firmware again i should learn to check all options bevore i post something hahahahaha
[One (M8) Android Development] Electronic Punk:
Boot will take ages with old firmware.

After ROM upgrade app_process is the original so needs reinstallation. Unless Mike ever included my mod, but he doesn't ;p

[One (M8) Android Development] init_dot_t:
Strange. I have no boot animation just splash screen. It just sits on the splash screen then eventually goes black. Unlock it and its fine.
[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
I think all HTC widgets vanished. HTC People is not there either. Hopefully this is just temporary and they will be back with the official 4.4.4 release.

Anyone knows a way that we can get them back?
[One (M8) Android Development] justinglock40:
Can we get a preferred installation method for this since it is not as straightforward as a regular flash. Considering the need for updating firmware and flashing ARHD and some items being protected? The conversation in the threads is really scatter and hard to piece together when you are trying to ensure nothing goes wrong when trying to update to the latest and greatest.
[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
Yes, you need to upgrade firmware to 2.12.401.3. If not i think you will be facing problems with sounds.
[One (M8) Android Development] konsti23:

1) You need to be s-off

2) Download ARHD 9.1 and place it in your internal or sdcard

3) Download firmware from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358556103 and save it in your fastboot folder

4) Connect your phone to PC and boot to bootloader

5) Open command prompt on your fastboot folder and type:

a) fastboot oem rebootRUU

b) fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (use the actual name of the file here)

c) If you get a (FAILED) repeat once more

d) fastboot reboot-bootloader

6) Enter Recovery

7) Flash ARHD 9.1

8) Clear cache/dalvik

9) Reboot

10) Enjoy!!!

I hope i didn't miss a step, just wrote them in a hurry.

work great with hTC Asia. thanks a lot.
[One (M8) Android Development] henk-jan:
Try this:

1. Put your phone into Fastboot USB -	adb reboot bootloader

2. Relock your Bootloader (This is needed to flash new hboot ) -	fastboot oem lock

3. Goto the Black HTC logo screen -	fastboot oem rebootRUU

4. Flash Firmware/hboot -	fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

(may need 2 flashes - Command Prompt will tell you if it needs to be flashed again.)

5. Check Green Bar is full after flash of firmware/hboot - if it is, Reboot Manually to fastboot USB (Hold Power+Volume Down at same time)

6. Unlock your bootloader -	fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
[One (M8) Android Development] init_dot_t:
That's what I meant by the black screen. It unlocks just only shows the splash screen. Other than that great work!

I struggled a lot to get the firmware flashed properly but I'll list the steps that finally worked for me. This goes without saying you need S-OFF to get this to work properly. Recommended SuperCID. Make sure your fastboot, adb is working properly. This tool helped me get everyone working http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694925

Note: It's best to use USB 2.0

First thing I had to do is the change my MID (Model ID) because when I looked at firmware.zip it had the one which was not supported.

I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708581 and changed MID to HTC_Europe MID (Only if you don't have a supported MID)

Then I flashed the firmware posted here (Yes, First flash 1.54.401.10 before flashing 2.12.401.3) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53808147&postcount=3

Follow the SECTION 3: FIRMWARE UPGRADE

Once your firmware is updated to 1.54.401.10 (Use fastboot getvar all to verify it)

Now flash 2.12.401.3 firmware from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2702664

Reboot the bootloader and use fastboot getvar all to verify it

Once you conform reboot to recovery and Flash your ROM

Hope this helps

New base has some kind of memory leak. Keyboard will start to lock up after using multiple apps, Snapchat will start lagging and then a reboot is required.

Also, no ART support.

One word of warning is that after flashing the leaked firmware, reverting to a 1.54 base rom will result in no sound output due to updated adsp image.

I did, I think. As soon as I flashed your rom, I couldn't boot, waited for 30+ minutes and nothing. Also, TWRP started rebooting randomly mid-flash fast boot worked. I tried wedging cache and a full format within TWRP, but nothing worked, so I sent it in for a replacement.

Edit:this could be purely coincidental, I'm not blaming you or your amazing rom, but since you brought it up, I thought I should speak. Also within TWRP, when I would try to repair the data partition, it would give me an error. All other partitions repaired fine.
