Make sure you read the guide carefully. You need to flash firmware twice (can be overlooked if you read to much :) ) and I had to flash recovery again after I flashed the firmware. Don't not know why but TWRP didn't come up. So I flashed again and then it worked fine. Not sure about the root access. Sunshine is an app that needs to be installed. But not sure if it needs root...
[One (M8) Android Development] knights.JayTana:
Do we need 3.xx FW before flashing the new 4.4.4 based ROM?
[One (M8) Android Development] rabbitp:
After update firmware , I have in Bootloader:

CID-11111111

HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

RADIO-1.21.21331147A1.19_2G

OpenDSP-v46.2.2-00564-M8974_F0.0811

OS-

eMMc-boot 2048MB

It is normal (info OS-)
[One (M8) Android Development] maikel_swe:
My preferred was no issues so far.

1. First install new rom (do not let it boot into the rom yet)

2. Reboot immediatley to HBOOT to update the FW using the 0P6BIMG.zip method (read more here http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048)

3 When flashing is done do a regular boot

4 Reflash the Custom recovery of your choice I use Philz

All done.
[One (M8) Android Development] gull_s_777:
Dang....

What about those already running 4.4.4 GPE based ROM and have no issue with WiFi.

Will they need to flash firmware too?
[One (M8) Android Development] jonwilliams84:
Ok, So I am now S-OFF!!! Thanks again guys...

To confirm, now I just need to do the following:

1. fastboot oem writecid 11111111

2. fastboot reboot-bootloader

3. fastboot oem rebootRUU

4. fastboot flash zip C:\adb\firmware.zip

5. repeat 4.

6. Flash ARHD 20.1

7. Enjoy :laugh:

Thanks again for you help, it really is appreciated. I am not new to the flashing 'scene' but all my previous devices were either HTC_001 out of the box or at least running a firmware that the majority of other users had so it was simples!!
[One (M8) Android Development] benj!:
Yep, looks good to me! No worries :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Semek:
Hey,

Does anyone have a working link for the ARHD 20.1? It looks like someone removed it.

BTW, I just got my phone S-OFF with sunshine, as I understand I need to flash first the STOCK firmware, right?

If so, where do I get it?

And only afterwards I install ARHD 20.1? Or not only flashing the stock firmware I need to flash first the STOCK ROM of HTC?

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused from all of that.

Thanks.

Edit.

OK, I found the firmware here: http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/401/

Guess it's the right one (3.28.401.6), but I prefer that before I proceed I'll get answers on the rest of the questions above.
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
So i've just flashed new firmware...now i'm stuck at htc boot screen. The phone is working as i can hear it buzz for notifications but wont go past splash screen. Haven't flashed 20.1 yet as it's still downloading....is there a way for me to push the rom to the phone via adb, then boot into recovery to flash?
[One (M8) Android Development] benj!:
Yep..

adb push filename.zip /sdcard

adb reboot recovery

:)
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneeuwtijger:
Download link from Blog : http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.nl/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html?m=1, remember this one, bookmark it - always last versions available ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] irishj:
If you now have s-off, you just need to (a) flash the new firmware (b) flash ARHD 20.1 (c) re-flash recovery of your choice (TWRP / Philz)

Make sure you also have a supercid - fastboot oem writecid 11111111
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
Cheers! But command prompt just seems to be hanging after the push command....should it take a while? I guess it's a big file.
[One (M8) Android Development] benj!:
Yeah give it a little while, it doesn't show it's progress!

If it fails you could try booting into recovery then pushing the file via adb
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
It failed because /sdcard is a directory (it said).
[One (M8) Android Development] benj!:
Hmm, could you try..

adb push filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
Doing that now. I did notice that when i booted into recovery, custom recovery was gone and replaced with standard. I've reflashed twrp and it boots into that ok. Pushin zip again now

BTW, if I have now ARHD 11.1 with all my apps installed already, do I have to do a full wipe when I'm flashing new firmware & new ARHD 20.1 ROM?
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
Worked! :) Cheers buddy! In Aroma now..but should i wipe or dirty flash? Coming from 11.1
[One (M8) Android Development] benj!:
No worries! I couldn't say for sure, to be honest... I wiped and then just reinstalled from a Titanium backup!
[One (M8) Android Development] Tweedskin:
Yeah, I'm one of those who forget to back up. That'll teach me. Sod it, I'll wipe and live with it then backup from now on! Thanks for all your help.
[One (M8) Android Development] irishj:
If your coming from 11.1, you really should as it's a new base version with many changes from your version

Backup your apps / settings ect.. first and restore afterwards
[One (M8) Android Development] mfractal:
Hi guys, is there a confirmed link for the new firmware with no red text ? i got one from here but would rather flash something that's been verified.
[One (M8) Android Development] benj!:
I used the one from here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/ota-3-28-401-6-t2899900

No issues at all. Also didn't have to reflash custom recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] Mischa42:
Quick question. Did you use firmware from mikes download site and does red text appear while boot (or is it without red text)?
[One (M8) Android Development] mfractal:
So it didn't wipe your recovery nor the sdcard / external sd card right ?
[One (M8) Android Development] benj!:
Nope, just flashed that and booted straight into recovery (which was still TWRP) to flash the rom.

Everything on sdcard was right where I left it :P
[One (M8) Android Development] jelmer-p:
Installed new ARHD 20.1 + firmware using newest Toolbox 1.4.2.1

And the gap issue is back, between the dock and app icons placed at home screen.

On ARHD 11 there was no gap. Someone else having the issue?

Edit: Some functions of Sense Toolbox aren't working, the 4x5 grid option on all honescreens aren't working that's why there's a gap.
[One (M8) Android Development] sean.trinidade:
No. All the contents are still there! :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Personally, I flashed dirty. All is working fine for me. I just flashed the firmware without red text on top of everything and it works fine. Enjoy the new ROM, it's smooth as silk and I think faster than ever. :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] jonwilliams84:
Now then, All working and running ARHD 20.1 - Got there in the end! Only had it running a couple of hours but must say it is as awesome as I expected, cheers Mike1986!!!

Couple of things...I have just had a play with the Sense 6 Toolbox, but none of the changes I have tried work. e.g. Notification Icons. This isn't a biggy but would be nice to have the percentage battery. Anybody else had this issue?

Also how do I get 'Ok Google' to work from the home screen?

Next thing is, how would I go about un-rooting it as I have a couple of apps that detect root and fail to run?

Thanks in advance!
[One (M8) Android Development] benj!:
Have you installed and activated the Xposed framework and the Sense 6 toolbox module? :)

In 4.4.4 htc changed one more thing, in mobile data>network mode, there is no more 2G only,
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
If you flashed the firmware properly, there will not be long boot time. Remember to observe the terminal output when flashing the firmware zip. The first time you run it, it will say "FAILED: hboot pre-update Please flush zip again immediately!" which means to run the same command again to flash the remainder of the firmware zip. The initial update will only update HBOOT, and when you 'flush it again' it'll use the newly updated HBOOT to complete the remainder of the firmware flash. If you didn't complete that second step, your firmware flash was incomplete.
[One (M8) Android Development] MylleZ:
Flashing the new 20.1

I'm still on ARHD 10.2 based on 4.4.3.

Should I flash the oficial firmware first and then the ARHD 20.1 4.4.4 Rom?

As I have already unlocked the bootloader and did the S-Off I should be fine ;)

But still, I do not know very well if I need to flash the official firmware first since I'm already using a version of ARHD.

Cheers and thanks for the great ROM ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] Einwod:
Worked fine for me too. Just flashed it an hour ago over the ROM. No reinstall needed, red text gone.

[One (M8) Android Development] AlbertoSONIC:

I noticed 2 bugs/changes in ARHD 20.1:

- recent apps doesnt show all recent ones, sometimes is completely clear (could be a sense 6 toolbox bug)

- i cant chose 2g only under mobile network settings, it only shows 3g, 2g/3g or 2g/3g/4g
[One (M8) Android Development] knights.JayTana:
Same here. Reverted back to 2.xx... I saw someone posted another method, he flashed the ROM first but he ddnt reboot to system, instead he update the FW then Supercid then that's it.

Second one is not a bug, HTC removed that option, You can't choose only 2G anymore
[One (M8) Android Development] stathis95194:
It's failing because of your mid.

Open the firmware zip file and edit android-info.txt

First line is :

modelid: 0P6B10000

change it with your modile id, eg:

modelid: 0P6B63000

Save and reflash. If it fails the first time, just reflash immediately.

In that case, it appears the new adsp firmware is still incompatible with Harman Kardon audio. You'll have to flash the adsp firmware from HK Mod thread for sound to work, or go back through the ROM installation and choose Boomsound instead.

There is no difference in the script between 3.1 and 3.2 in this area of installation, other than the glitch last night where common was misnamed.
