I posted this question in the att questions forum with no results, so I thought this might be a better place to ask:

I'm fairly new to the rooting and flashing scene and had a quick question about firmware.

I'm currently running Dirty Unicorns 9/26 official build with furnace kernel 1.0.9. I wanted to try arhd 20.1, so I made a backup, factory wiped and flashed it. I went thru the aroma installer and everything installed fine, once it finished, however, it turned off and wouldn't turn back on. I finally got it working again into the bootloader, but when I try and boot it, it just hangs on the HTC logo screen with the red text.

I browsed the thread to see what the issue could be, and although I couldn't find the someone else who had that problem, most of the problems people are having are because they didn't upgrade to the latest firmware.

So is that what the issue could've been? I downloaded the new firmware, just need to flash it, but before I do, I want to ask, will I have to flash a custom recovery again if I flash the new firmware? And will I also lose my data? Finally, will it mess up my radio settings if I flash that? I'm running att one m8, unlocked, rooted.

I'm soff with sunshine, twrp is my recovery

Then stop and says i need to connect charger. It does not recorgnize the wallcharger anymore. I cant figure ot why?? Its really anoying. And somewhat scary?! I live in Europe, Sweden. I tried to reinstall Twrp. And tried reinstall your rom several times.. Help?

Anyone else in Europe having this problem?

Download it and look at the android info text file inside. See if your Cid and mid matches. It is possible to change the mid to match and why not just supercid your phone to 11111111?

[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
This is not a new procedure.

Firmware has NEVER been included with this or ANY ROM for the M8. Flashing firmware has ALWAYS been a separate process.

It's "so complicated" because it has to be. There are many variants of this device and people can be on any number of firmware versions.

If you've never had to update firmware before this, then I guess your device came with 2.x firmware. But all the ROMs for this device require matching firmware to the base for full functionality. This will likely continue to be the case, so get used to it :rolleyes:.

On version 20.1. Is there an easy way to enable the drop down from right opens quick settings and from the left the notification shade? I looked in the Sense 6 toolbox but did not see an option and also tried the option in Gravity Box but it doesn't work for some reason.

Exactly. I was on a GPE ROM before flashing this and the Gravity Box option worked just fine. For some reason that same option does not work on this ROM. Probably something to do with Sense.

Wi-Fi

I've just upgraded my stock rom Italian 4.4.3 to this 1. The wi-fi is not working. I'm kinda new on flashing with HTC and I've read the guide from Mike (amazing 1).

Everything is working fine, exept the wi-fi. I heard is something about the firmware, that I should have the 3.28.401.6 firmware.

How can I check my own firmware? If I would like to upgrade it, should I just flash it trough CWM ?

EDIT.

The firmware is fine.

Anything for the Wi-fi?

[One (M8) Android Development] MrStig91:
I'm having a very strange issue and can't seem to pinpoint the cause. When I use hangouts (using as my SMS app) and have the Sense keyboard set as my input method, the keyboard stays open when I hit the home button. Then I have to hit the little down arrow to get it to go away. This is weird because the keyboard doesn't do this when using any other apps, nor does this happen when using hangouts with another keyboard.

Any ideas?
[One (M8) Android Development] coal686:
Hi everyone,

I received a report about cleaning up the multiple "no wifi" posts. However, I thought this could be a good learning experience for all involved if I leave them.

To new users of this ROM (or XDA in general): People expect that you will read the first few posts (called the OP for original post) and the last ten pages or so of a thread before posting your question. Even better would be using the search box at the top to search for your issue first. Then, if you still cannot figure it out, then by all means post your question. If you post a common issue that is easily found by searching, people will let you know and may not be very nice about it.

To old hats: there are a lot of people who are new to the site, to the ROM, etc as we all were at some point. We want to encourage them to stay, learn, and hopefully become a future developer, tinkerer, etc. As they learn the "culture" here, they will fit in, but initially, they need our help and understanding. So, to those of you who posted a link to the firmware update, thank you.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know through PM.

Thanks,

coal686

Hey guys please help me

after going through the last pages in a blink, i've noticed some mentioning firmware upgrade needed before upgrading to 20.1

Can you please assist and tell me whether I need to do so?

Here are the details from the "About" section in the settings:

Rom version - 2.22.401.5

Kernel version - 3.4.0-ge224610

Baseband version - 1.16.2133156.UA15G_20.18m.4096.07L

Build number - 2.22.401.5.5.CL365360

HTC One M8 international version, Rooted with S-OFF (by sunshine)

If I do need to update my firmware - how to do so?

Many thanks

and good night

I can't flash the firmware please help @@ i did 2 times but it field and i can;t even S-off @@
[One (M8) Android Development] Vandam500:
Yeah, I noticed that this was working right away.
[One (M8) Android Development] MrStig91:
This may seem crazy but when I was trying to flash the firmware I was renaming it to "firmware.zip" not realizing that Windows was automatically hiding the .zip after the name already. So when I was putting in the command "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip " it kept failing. It was actually wanting me to say "firmware.zip.zip"

Anyway, if you named it "firmware.zip" try deleting the .zip part and then do the command again and see if it works.
[One (M8) Android Development] Semek:
You can follow my guide over here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=55950180#post55950180

Download the firmware itself from here.

So you have to go & S-OFF you device first, and then you can use the guide I posted in the URL above.

You probably will have to pay 25$ for SunShine to S-OFF your device.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
FYI - There's no need to rename the file.

Thanks for the reply.

Will a nand backup will be enough before starting the process, in case anything goes wrong?

And the firmware download link you provided - is for the latest one available?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] Semek:
Hey Adiel,

Well, can tell you for sure about the nand backup, as I'm a new user to HTC, but read a bit in some threads

and came across that it's not that mandatory for the process as the risk is very small on HTC device, not like on LG devices an such which is very recommended to back it up.

You can of course do it, a few minutes from your life won't kill you as later you won't regret it ;)

Anyway, I didn't do that and all worked too well.

About your last question... YES, it's the latest around.

Good luck flashing ;)

All's rosy and well. 20.1 has massive battery improvement for me compared over previous 4.4.3 builds.

20.2 should be fine for dirty flash from 20.1? ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Semek:
As much as i saw in the previous pages (if I'm wrong correct me), if you aren't S-OFF you won't be able to flash the firmware, and if aren't able to flash it, it won't be recommended to flash the ROM,

as you will encounter problems with the wi-fi connectivity and such.

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 AM ----------

Everything is awesome, ROM is working smoothly & battery is good as much as I already experienced (not a big user, but seems like it's even better now).

[One (M8) Android Development] 18rmiller:
**Sorry if off topic**

I was reading the ViperOne ROM thread. He also says that you have to update firmware but that guide shows that you have to return to stock first. Was just wondering why there could be 2 different methods and also if I used your method if I could Flash viperOne?
[One (M8) Android Development] knights.JayTana:
-FIRMWARE flashing needs S-OFF

-if you guys want have a new FIRMWARE without S-Off, revert your phone into Stock and wait for OTA update.

-No need to rename the file as long as you can push it properly via adb

-Latest ROM needs latest FIRMWARE, im talking about ROM version 20.1 and FIRMARE 3.xx

-For those who failed because of ModelID issue, look in the FW zip for the file "android info.text" and at the top you see modelid XXXXXXX and modify it to match your model ID.
[One (M8) Android Development] Semek:
Well, the only safe way I know to get to S-ON is to use SunShine (it costs 25$), so this the only thing I can tell you.

Just download the SunShine from here.

It's a .apk file, you put it on your mobile and install it like every other application. Just enter it, it will do some basic checks,

and tell you if it's safe to run it on your mobile. If you'll continue, it'll prompt you a PayPal window, that you'll have to pay 25$ from there,

only after successful payment it'll let you continue and finish the procedure. Very very easy!

Only and only then, you can continue reading my guide I already posted to continue & flash the new firmware.

I don't want to mislead you, so it's better you ask that question on ViperOne thread.

But my guide is showing you how to flash the STOCK firmware first, it's not ARHD stock or something like that. So I guess you can use it for your own purpose.
[One (M8) Android Development] knights.JayTana:
also, Sunshine needs stock ROM and Stock Kernel. Tried it with IC and Elemental, no luck. i use the odexed base by Mike to have it run on mine...
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You CAN flash firmware while S-ON; it just requires an HTC-signed firmware zip for your specific model and CID. I believe the zip [MENTION=1631739]mike1986.[/MENTION] has posted is in fact a signed zip, so it can be flashed for anyone that has a WWE device.

P.S. Once you extract the zip or modify its contents in any way, you break the signature, and it is no longer flashable for S-ON devices.

u need to use sunshine to be S-off. in other words, 25 bucks will be spent.

while flashing your firmware,have you done all these steps?

Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)

Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)

Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot

Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete

Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.

[One (M8) Android Development] ccw1134:
Yes you will still need to use the fix to get Google Now Everywhere working. I believe based on mike.1986's post of changes coming in 20.2 it will be permanently fixed going forward from that version.

If you're up to it you could just extract the velvet.apk from your current ROM version within the \system\priv-app\ directory and place it in the same location within the 20.1 .zip before flashing it. It saves a little time is all. Google Now Everywhere should work upon first boot without having to go through the uninstalling of Google Search, flashing the Velvet.zip and updating Google Search to the current version. Either way will work. Good luck.
