Yes. Don't update it - luckily I had a Titanium backup.
[One (M8) Android Development] Oditius:
I restored my very first stock Nandroid backup. Played with the camera, no problems, no blockage of the dual camera lens. So that I guess will confirm it's not hardware. Because when I put 2.0.1 back in, it came back. Guess when I get home, I will go to venomroms and fill out a ticket... I am going try restoring 1.8 to see if it is there... I know it wasn't when I had it installed...

OK, restored 18 and the camera problem isn't there either... :(
[One (M8) Android Development] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
Can I ask something? After the 2.0.1 update every time I reboot the mobile it shows Android is starting apps, is this normal?
[One (M8) Android Development] ivicask:
I ment, flash stock 2.22 rom..Its an HTC issue for whatever reason after updating to new base, no need to write ticket because that ticket will be assigned to me, and i can tell you right now i have no solution to this, actually 2 other devs have this issue also on their own phones and got no idea how to fix it..

Kinda funny because with them your only 3 users among thousands and thousand only one having this issue, and + this user who send phone to service and after that it got fixed.

Go figure..
[One (M8) Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Did you switch to ART? If so, then yes. But it should only be there for a few seconds.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lefteris Fragiadakis (Frago):
Yes I am art, thanks for the info
[One (M8) Android Development] Oditius:
Stock 2.22 rom? I only have a nandroid backup of my original rom, whatever that was. Oh well, only an annoyance, so I will try a few other things before I give up and just put up with it. Thanks anyway...
[One (M8) Android Development] ivicask:
If i get any news or solutions i will inform you, and try flashing any stock rom, you can find them here very easy..and contacting HTC cant hurt.
[One (M8) Android Development] NotATreoFan:
On the offhand chance the firmware is at fault, backup your current 2.0.1 install, then clean install 1.8.0. It will boot on the new firmware, and if the camera issue follows, then try reflashing the firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] parisayo:
OK, thanks for the replys, so tried a few more things.

Found from the bootloader screen that my version-main is 1.54.771.9 and my CID is H3G_001.

Tried using firewater to update but got the "whelp this sucks..." error,

Tried the sunshine option, was willing to pay, but got the "your ROM / kernel combination is not supported" problem.

Tried to follow the nandroid reset from the available stock files, but there is no H3G_001 with 1.54.771.9 backup available, only a H3G_001 with 1.54.771.5.

Anyone out there got any other ideas as to what I can do in order to update my firmware?

Thanks in advance
[One (M8) Android Development] icytrey:
Myself and others have had luck flashing the arhd rom,then using sunshine to s-off. Sunshine needs a Rom as close to stock as possible and viper isn't close enough.
[One (M8) Android Development] Oditius:
My nandroid backup of my stock Rom has no camera problems. So if I restore it to stock, then there is no need to send it back because the dual camera error isn't there. And I am not restoring this back to stock to send back, this is a repaired unit, I had s-off off via firewater before returning it. When I got it back, firewater didn't work and I had to pay $25 for sunshine. Paid once, dev got the money he deserved, (also s-off my other M8 with sunshine) So he got $50 from me. I rather put up with the problem instead of going through that again. When I get home I will check my other ? M8 to see if it had the same problem. I don't use the camera enough for it to be a big problem. If it doesn't them I will make that my daily driver and use this one as a backup.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

So instead of using my nandroid backup of my 1.8 (also noting that I restored my device to my backup of 1.8 and the camera problem wasn't there) I should do a clean install of 1.8 and then upgrade it to 2.01 to see if there may be some other software interfering?
[One (M8) Android Development] parisayo:
Thanks, ill have a look for the arhd ROM and see how I get on.
[One (M8) Android Development] ivicask:
For everyone is working on 1.8.0, thats the point..

Maybe your and theirs camera has minor error, which when new base 4.4.3 is installed gets worse and produces error of 2nd camera giving false readings.
[One (M8) Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Yeah. Try a clean flash of 1.8.0, test camera, then direct upgrade to 2.0.1 and test again.
[One (M8) Android Development] vipercoyote:
How do I fix? i already deleted cache uninstalled and installed
[One (M8) Android Development] Oditius:
My other M8 on the same ROM and everything else the same, no problem. Hmmm so there has to be another reason. This is sure puzzling, I am trying to resist doing the 1.8 clean install to 2.01. Because of having to set everything all up again. That will be my last resort, but I will probably try it when I have more time.
[One (M8) Android Development] HopelesRomantc91:
Full wipe, but it freezes on boot after installing 2.0.1. Did a search in this thread, but there were so many results, I couldn't sift through them all.
[One (M8) Android Development] JuHJoh:
On Verizon... updated to latest 2.0.1, and now i am stuck on HTC logo again. This time no combination of button will let me get into my homescreen. I know the phone is on since my pebble watch connects to it but still stuck on HTC logo. I checked to make sure I was on latest firmware.. though firmware guide is not for verizon. What is the instruction for clean install/how do I fix this?
[One (M8) Android Development] xbxjunkie:
it's gonna take forever for it to boot 2.0.1 since you're on the old firmware. this has been mentioned many times in previous posts
[One (M8) Android Development] JuHJoh:
Regardless, I will try waiting 20 mins to see if this starts.

UPDATE - worked after waiting about 15 mins. Noticed firmware is 4.22.401.4

How do you update CDMA firmware? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE UPDATE - looks like there is no firmware release from verizon... so I guess don't reboot the device?

The latest tmous firmware is 1.54, long boot times will be common. Tmo is rolling out fw updates in the next week or so, until then you will have broken WiFi calling and long boot times on any 4.4.3 ROM

Yes if want to update firmware via fastboot method or other, but you could always restore a stock nandroid flash the stock recovery & take the official ota system update as & when it's available for your device.

If you have a copy of 1.8 saved or a nandroid saved, then go for it. You'll be fine

Are you running Davlik or ART? I am running ART, I never tried it under Davlik which perhaps that may be the other issue. =)

Wow.

Figured after a buddy's recommendation and READING the thread, that I'd nandroid 1.8.0 and give 2.0.1 a try. It's amazing as the download page specifically addresses 90% of the questions in the thread.

*sigh*

It's disheartening. I'm by no means an expert, but I can read, and want to learn how to do things on my own. Sorry, if this is inflammatory or insulting. It's not meant to be, I just wish most users weren't allergic to researching before advanced operations.

Seriously who is goping to sit here and read through hundreds of pages to get 1 simple answer somebody could answer in 5 seconds

If it was you , you would want the same help as well instead of reading through the pages

That is why this is called a forum, that is why members are allowed to post and ask questions

i can guarantee you, that I can go through all your post and find somewhere where you asked a question that was already answered
[One (M8) Android Development] lotddragon:
It clearly states the issues on the first page and also within the last 3-4 pages, the issues are there. There is also a search button that is highly recommended to use, they can be faster than waiting on someone to answer you.

[One (M8) Android Development] bigdogbosdroid:
The bulk of the latest questions have been answered within 3-5 posts of the questioner. And I disagree, it's not me. I'm more into learning HOW to do something on my own. It's my phone, and I'M taking the risk, so I'd like to know ALL about the risks I'm assuming. I don't want this to take over the thread. Sorry if I offended.

But, how did you learn in school? College? On your job? Sometimes things are learned by doing them on your own, based on others experiences and knowing how to recover. The old saying "Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish..." applies here is all I'm trying to say. And to say that no one wants to read through hundreds of pages....really? There's a lot of knowledge that is passed on if people just look is also my point. Sorry again if I spoke out of turn.
[One (M8) Android Development] NotATreoFan:
I'll let you in on a trick to avoid reading hundreds of pages. And no, it isn't me telling you to search.

Instead, look at the thread title and make note of the release date. Next, jump to the very last page in the thread, then work your way backward until you reach posts for that day.

Most people are more than willing to help, even if that means answering repetitive questions. But you first have to show that you made an effort to solve it on your own.

I don't know what HTC did to repair the duo camera problem, but it started after I took the 2.22.1540.3 OTA. The device was 100% stock everything. When I received it back from repair, it had a clean install of 2.22.1540.3 on it, and the duo camera problem is gone. It's definitely an HTC problem, not your ROM. I can attest to that.

Like before on 1.8.0 I could add the power amp widget as that's my music player of choice, but now on 2.0.0 I can't add it because it doesn't appear on my lockscreen widget picker as an option.

Yes, but take note, kernel version shows same build, so probable HTC done some very minor changes, or changes are only inside kernel modules like WIFI etc..

Cant tell for sure, but i included it anyways into full rom, and its not in OTA because most users use ElemnetalX kernel, no reason to revert their kernels back to stock..

I have to say, that up until Viper 2, I was getting better battery life on stock 4.4.3 than on Viper 1.8 but always assumed either my phone was packing up or 4.4.2 wasn't as good on battery, and it seems 4.4.3 is just better on battery as I was getting 4 hours screen on time with 4.4.2 but with viper 2 im back to 5-6 hours. Result!

Have to say it's very refreshing to find a ROM that doesn't make unsubstantiated claims about improving battery life etc etc. :good:

[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Battery improvement tweaks are a blatant lie in most cases. If there are any, it'll be in kernels. What ROM devs can do Battery wise is very little. The fact people experience differences from one ROM to another is nearly always related to apps running correctly or misbehaving.
