Firmware problem

Hi all, I have now downloaded the firmware from two different mirrors, but I get signature fail every time I install it.

(bootloader) start image[sbl1] unzipping & flushing...

(bootloader) [RUU]UZ,sbl1,0

(bootloader) [RUU]UZ,sbl1,100

(bootloader) signature checking...

(bootloader) verified fail

(bootloader) ..... Bypassed

First I got Installation status:7 when I installed the ROM, but after several tries I did a successfull installation, but it was stuck on boot screen.

Advice is appreciated.
[One (M8) Android Development] jose51197:
exactly
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
You need to install that Firmware with the command TWICE. Are you doing that? You will always get a FAIL the first time, you need to do the command a SECOND time. Are you doing this?

ALSO, I really hope you are not trying to flash that firmware. You need to use the RUU OEM command via fastboot. Do you need help? I can find you a guide but you have to tell me where you are...
[One (M8) Android Development] Hamodi:
I'v done a trick for bootanimation

Flashed the sd kernel

Replaced the files and flashed stock kernel

Bingo its working now ?
[One (M8) Android Development] PashaF:
I had challenges installing the ROM at first, only because I was trying to install from an external SD. Moved the file to the internal one and had no issues.

I'm S-OFF, SuperCID, updated the Firmware (in OP), and came from the Nocturnal LE (5.0.1). So far - love the ROM, as I think Sense UI is great (especially in combination with Lollipop).

After the initial flash, the battery life was dreadful - my phone died within a few hours. I have recharged it to full overnight, hopefully the battery life will be as advertised :)

A few requests: if possible, would you provide us a way to flash flashlight into quick-settings - the way it is in the original GPE Lollipop? In addition, a way to kill an app via long-press of the back button?
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Battery life is device-specific. For example, my battery life has been best I've ever seen. I installed this ROM with only 20% and it lasted me 12 hours after. We all use different apps, we all have different settings - so battery life, barring any custom kernel drain, is always device-specific.

The SD team is aware of the flashlight on the quicksettings drop-down and may include it in future releases. Same for the kill via long-press.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ic3y83:
Yes, you can. Search for file "default.xml" in "\system\customize\ACC".

Replace this:

<item type="string-array" name="htctheme_list">
</item>

With this: (add the red part)

<item type="string-array" name="htctheme_list">
[COLOR="Red"] <string>GRE00</string>
<string>0</string>
<string>wallpapers_00.jpg</string>
<string>ORG00</string>
<string>1</string>
<string>wallpapers_01.jpg</string>
<string>HTC00</string>
<string>2</string>
<string>wallpapers_02.jpg</string>
<string>GRY01</string>
<string>3</string>
<string>wallpapers_03.jpg</string>
<string>BLU00</string>
<string>4</string>
<string>wallpapers_16.jpg</string>
<string>GRY00</string>
<string>5</string>
<string>wallpapers_03.jpg</string>
<string>PNK00</string>
<string>6</string>
<string>wallpapers_07.jpg</string>

<string>7</string>
<string>wallpapers_07.jpg</string>
<string>RED00</string>
<string>8</string>
<string>wallpapers_07.jpg</string>[/COLOR]
</item>

That schould unlock more themes in settings.

For fast flashlight acces, change this line to "true":

<item type="boolean" name="quicklaunch_flashlight">[COLOR="Red"]true[/COLOR]</item>

Long press On/Off button to activate.

Cya... Will charge my m8!:eek:
[One (M8) Android Development] Ludolf71:
Hi, I do the command twice as instructed an I to RUU OEM also. I am an experienced flasher (since HTC Hero) so I get quite frustrated over this not working. Tried to put pack GPE firmware and restore my backup but TWRP force close and reboot as I enter the restore menu.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
long as your supercid and us model phone you shouldn't have a problem. otherwise you need to edit android-info.txt in the firmware zip to have your modelid and cid.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ludolf71:
Thanks, I do have supercid but not US model phone.
[One (M8) Android Development] btje:
I was on the sd gpe and dit not convert to gpe firmware. I wanted to upgrade the firmware as in the opening post but got a model ID error?

What does the ID need to be?
[One (M8) Android Development] mgenova:
Google messenger won't send MMS pictures. Hangouts will work fine if set to default messenger. I had the same issue With android revolution
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
same as the post above you, edit android-info.txt in the firmware zip and add you're modelid.
[One (M8) Android Development] nightcervant:
I love the skydragon kernel but I have a lot of problems to watch videos on a Dolphin that on Facebook, when it will be fixed this flaw? [MENTION=1211160]HolyAngel[/MENTION]
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Will be fixed as soon as htcdev hurries up and releases kernel source for us, i've already harassed them once about it along with a few other people..
[One (M8) Android Development] btje:
succeeded installing now thanx. could you add that to the OP save you a lot of questions

[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:

[One (M8) Android Development] rodjo777:
Thanks dude
[One (M8) Android Development] rodbacon:
I managed to fix my CID/Firmware/Partitioning issues and have successfully flashed V27 (I then noticed V28 - LOL!). Thanks for a great ROM. Will report back any bugs I find.

One question; When flashing newer versions in future, is there a way to "dirty flash" and preserve my apps/settings, or am I going to be forever re-installing and reconfiguring? What do others do?
[One (M8) Android Development] joni2012:
Always the best
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
You don't have to wipe unless there is a new base. So just dirty flash (without wiping) 27 to 28. Picture it just like doing a #2...why wipe if nothing comes out? Unless you see on the OP there is a new base/firmware that the ROM was upgraded on then you can always dirty flash and preserve your settings.
[One (M8) Android Development] Viper4713:
What is SDHUB? just curious, I am on SD GPE, just curious what's going on the Sense side.
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
SDHub will be a place to download all types of mods/skins/etc. Booby pics too ;)

Youll love it! Convert!
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
SD Hub is an app we use for wallpapers, links to kernels/apps/mods/updates etc. There usually isn't much for GPE so its just been sense stuff, thats why I haven't added it to my GPE roms.

Geez! I wasn't considering Sense at all! but booby pics you say? BRO! :highfive:
[One (M8) Android Development] threetwentyfizzle:
Thanks for the update! Full wiped on this one. I haven't seen this discussed in this thread, and I know this base is off the developer edition so maybe it will be improved on the final release, but has anyone else noticed that the app exit animation is gone from the sense apps? When I press home I'm instantly on my home screen with no nice animation transition. Its probably one of the only things HTC needs to improve with this Lolli update. But it runs pretty damn quick, and I'm pumped the GPE Dialer was added, much nicer than the sense Dialer!
[One (M8) Android Development] jureca:
Thank topics, Great Job Team Dragon??.
[One (M8) Android Development] josh.walker.9242:
did anyone lose data (pics, music ect) when flashing the firmware thats listed in the op?
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
You will lose everything when you flash FW bruh! Sorraaay. That is a no-brainer doe!
[One (M8) Android Development] josh.walker.9242:
thats what i thought, but reading the op it said its customized to avoid losing data lol. thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] shortyboy:
you shouldnt loose data if youre coming from a sense firmware. If youre coming from GPE, youll need to convert back to sense partition size, which would wipe your data.
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
That is correct. I assumed you were flashing FW coming from GPE. If you are just "updating" your FW and you're on SENSE you should not lose anything. Correct.
[One (M8) Android Development] josh.walker.9242:
i have the gpe firmware with sense partitions. they replaced the the gpe hboot with a sense hboot so it kept the sense partition sizes.
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
then you shouldn't lose anything.

i repeated the second command (fastboot flash firmware firmware.zip) as fast as i could type it out, it kept giving me the same error. i also tried naming it 06pbimg.zip and putting it on my ext sd and when into hboot and it loaded up but immediately said to press power to reboot

You know, you don't have to type the command in again, just press the up arrow in terminal and it will repeat the last command. Press it twice for two commands ago, and so on. Are you sure you're Cid 11111111? You may have to rewrite your Cid.

[One (M8) Android Development] xwill1212:
Hello, I have read through numerous posts and seems nothing is working for me. I have ATT model with supercid, s-off, flashed firmware in original post, and keep trying to flash rom. I came from a gpe rom if that is relevant. (flashed sense firmware already) First problem was that i tried to add a sound mod from aroma but wouldnt finish install because of permission errors. Then i flashed with everything default and is stuck at htc screen; I mounted system also. I heard of flashing a sense hboot but am confused as if that comes with the firmware or is something else entirely. What do i do to enjoy this rom? Thank you in advance

[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
Get the .img file (rename it to twrp for convenience) and in fastboot type:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Then click HBOOT and reboot to recovery! Try and install and I don't believe you should have any permissions issues. We are going to get this done! haha

I am assuming you're experienced enough to know that the twrp.img should be in the same folder you are pointing it to via adb/fastboot command prompt. I have c:/android/adb set up and i keep all my fw and img files in there (right click in that folder and "open command prompt" from there) * Sorry if you knew this already, just wanted to give you the fyi
