Not very nice ..... And maybe not as smart as you think

I have new 4.4.4 firmware and Viper 2.5.0 and all is working well [emoji12]
[One (M8) Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Are you using stock kernel? It might be that he uses custom kernel...that's the only other thing I could think of... Normally newer hboot doesn't work well with older Roms and vise versa..
[One (M8) Android Development] tele_jas:
I am S-Off and have been for 4 months..... Flashed several firmwares during this time and have been running the current 2.22.xx.x firmware. I just wanted to update to the newest for when Viper comes out with the 4.4.4 update.

I have tried flashing 3 older firmwares now with the "worry free" way and the old fashioned way, no luck.

I was using the stock kernel too
[One (M8) Android Development] Galaen:
Is the only thing wrong that the rom won't boot? Can you get into your custom recovery? Most of the time when I fastboot flash firmware, I then do my recovery, then full wipe from within said recovery and flash the rom. Usually the full wipe and reflash rom steps do the trick.

[One (M8) Android Development] user602:
You don't need to do all of that. Sunshine will work with stock, or close-to-stock ROMs (such as ARHD). Viper is too heavily modified. Just back up your files, clean-flash stock-ish ROM, then run Sunshine again.

Lost mobile network connectivity

Hello,

Long time ViperOne user. Love the ROM. I have run into an issue today that I am certain is NOT the fault of the ROM. However, I am posting here because most of you have the same setup that I do. Any assistance/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Phone: HTC M8 Dev Edition on T-Mobile USA network, S-Off, SuperCID, H-Boot is 3.18, OS is 2.22.531.5 (from bootloader screen), Radio is 1.19.213311491.03G

Recovery: Was TWRP 2.7.1 (CaptainT's). Upgraded to 2.8.3 (Official) this evening.

ROM: Was ViperOne 2.2.0. Upgraded to 2.5.0 this evening.

This morning, everything was fine. By afternoon, I noticed that I had NO data connection at all (voice or data). In the mobile networks configuration, there was no mobile network specified. Attempting to search for one results in "error while searching for networks" message.. APN is configured correctly. The bands are configured correctly (GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto).

I've tried:

1. Rebooting

2. Disabling and enabling mobile data toggle

3. Removing and reseating the sim card - and rebooting during and after.

4. Running SneakyGhost's 2.22.531.5 FUU yet again (as already on this firmware version)

5. Upgraded recovery to TWRP 2.8.3 (Official)

6. Upgraded ROM to ViperOne 2.0.5 (dirty flash with wiping cache and Dalvik)

None of this has fixed the problem. The only next step I can think of is running the official TMobile 2.22.531.5 RUU, wiping everything and starting over. I would appreciate any less destructive suggestions.

If not, if the RUU is my only option, I have a couple of question.

1. Will the RUU undo my S-OFF? I know that I'll need to reflash TWRP, but, would prefer not having to S-OFF again.

2. If I take a nandroid backup, run the RUU, can I then safely restore the nandroid backup, or, do I have to install and configure every single app and setting?

Thanks in anticipation.

-MediocreFred.

Edited to add:

I also tried going to the Phone Info Screen (Viper Tweaks -> Misc). Says that GSM Service is OFF and GPRS service is disconnected. WHen I click on the "Turn on radio" button, there is a popup that says "Preparing SIM card..." which disappears after a few seconds and nothing changes on the screen. What might this indicate?
[One (M8) Android Development] tele_jas:
Well..... I had no recovery at all. My phone was still S-off, unlocked and had the CID: 11111111... But I lost EVERYTHING on my internal memory.

I had to re-flash TWRP, then re-flash the ROM and start from scratch. It actually runs smoother, just wish I wouldn't have wasted 4 hours of my time on this.. Luckily my pics were all backed up in my Dropbox. :highfive:

[One (M8) Android Development] mirrorfinish:
If I'm not mistaken you can do a dirty flash of the ROM and selected it to be installed
[One (M8) Android Development] blestsol:
Are we talking about the same thing? I mean when you hit customize after choosing an icon pack. When you click customize it pulls up all the different icons you can pick. it should be in alphabetical order. My issue is.. It doesn't show up that way. I've seen camera and chrome and Facebook after zedge and phandroid before the "a" apps. But I'll dirty flash to get rid of the theme and check. Thanks for the response.

Little OT( excuse me all)

Firewater is incompatible or other? I had problem with it the firse time but......

when you push firewater with adb on device, wait the completely reboot(when you see usb icon on device again)

Then continue entering the shell and other commands...end OT:D
[One (M8) Android Development] jkolner:
Firewather didn't work for me with Viper or any other Rom.

Flash a Rom as close to stock as possible, or use stock Rom, and then Sunshine.

It worked for me.
[One (M8) Android Development] jason4656:
so the process is, backup viper in twrp, flash stock ish rom (over the top?) then try firewater, if not sunshine, then flash, viper 2.5 ? do i need to worry about the content of my phone? ive backed up and moved the backup to the sd ?

thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] jkolner:
I did a backup with the Viper Rom installed. Flashed ARHD and tried with Firewater - but it didn't work, so i installed Sunshine and payed the 25$ and got S-Off.

Then i restored the backup to Viper.

If you do a backup and restore it after you are S-Off, you isn't loosing any content.

It's possibel that Firewater works with stodk Rom, but i don't know.

Guess it isn't OT cos its how to get S-Off when you have ViperS installed. ;)

Guys,

Beware when using the built in file explorer to move a folder to another destination. If the folder you are moving happens to be already created, it doesn't ask if you want to overwrite the existing folder. I have lost all my pictures from the external SD card the folder has gone into lala land :( . Pray for Recuva to retrieve them now.
[One (M8) Android Development] leoaudio13:
Never mind, I just S-OFF with Sunshine and all is good now. Facebook still had problem but i think its their sh*tty update is the culprit :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Scarface1991:
I think I found a little "bug". When using the "Volume keys music control" function with Prev/Next Track. When the screen is off and you press and hold either the volume up or down button the song changes but the volume level changes too for a quick moment. So if you are listening to music really loud and change the song with volume up button, it can be a little uncomfortable. However for me it's not a big deal, just wanted to let you guys know that it's there.

I mean the buttons on the phone itself and not on the headset. However I tried it with 2 different headsets thinking that maybe it had something to do with the headset but it's not.

Is this 100% true? I'm not worried about a colleague wiping my device on purpose, but more worried about it being wiped by accident. Wouldn't they have to be an admin on my M8 to do any of that? Can the permission manager/app ops be used to successfully deny items?

Maybe creating a Titanium Backup widget that will freeze/defrost/launch the mail.apk would work...

No. The newest firmware is only good for Europe. Go super CID and you can flash firmware from any carrier.

Here's how.

1. Have adb and fastboot set up. There are guides all over xda and google

2. Connect phone to PC and open terminal

3. Type "adb devices" to make sure phone is connected to PC

4. Type "adb reboot bootloader"

5. Once in fastboot type "fastboot devices" to make sure fastboot sees your device

6. Type "fastboot oem rebootRUU"

7. Once in black screen that says HTC you are in ruu mode

8. Type "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

9. After a successful cid overwrite type "fastboot reboot-bootloader"

10. Profit! You are now supercid!!

[One (M8) Android Development] deh2k7:
Hi all - I wanted to post this in the Viper forums, since it may also be related to Viper as much as anything else, but just trying isolate the cause and look for some workarounds.

I have a VzW M8. I recently upgraded to the 4.4.3 VzW FW and upgraded from Viper 1.8 to 2.5. Since upgrading, my M8 acting as a hotspot has been misbehaving, making it almost useless. After a short time of it functioning normally, my phone begins to rapidly turn on/off the data connection on my phone. I can't get my data connection back until i cycle through airplane mode or reset it by going to Wifi and back. I only started seeing this behavior after doing the upgrade.

I did some research, and tried applying the 4G fix posted in the forums to change the radio behavior addressing handoffs between 3G/4G modes. That didn't fix it.

Then i tried reverting my firmware back to 1. 55. 605.2. I can live with longer boot times if it would solve the problem. Unfortunately, it looks like that also did not solve the issue either. I'm still seeing the same behavior.

has anyone else seen this problem and how did you fix it? Going back to 1.8 is acceptable, but just want to make sure there isn't another fix before going that way. Really like Viper and 2.5, so don't want to revert to an earlier version if i can help it.

U can update your bootloader firmware to 3.28.401.6 and wait for venom team to release their update imo :)
[One (M8) Android Development] henrybravo:
My guess is wi-fi will be broken and maybe other things. The reason I mention wi-fi is because I've read that running a 3.28 ROM on 2.22 firmware breaks it, so the opposite could be true (I'm not for sure as I haven't tried it).

[One (M8) Android Development] herbertzzz:
This is a real problem. I did the upgrade to 3xxxx-version,and 3xxxx is shown in fastbootscreen in red letters. After that I flashed MaximusHD (base 3xxxx) and my wifi was broken, too. I did it twice but wifi is absolutely dead. Than I flashed original FW2xxxx (after doing a factory reset and flashing TWRP in ADB) but Wifi also was dead. I went back to 3xxxx with RUU and finally I restored Viper 2.5.0 and everything is ok now.

Now phone-info shows 2xxx-version, fastboot shows 3xxxx version. Is this ok?
[One (M8) Android Development] henrybravo:
Good to know, thanks.

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

I haven't heard of wi-fi being broken if firmware and ROM are both 3.x, so not sure what happened with your Maximus HD 8.x installation.

You say you RUU'd to 3.x? If so then you should have the 3.x firmware (as you've confirmed in fastboot/bootloader), since the RUU process usually flashes everything under the sun including firmware and software. Just to be clear, the version that shows up in About>Software Version isn't the firmware version; it's the ROM/software version. So it sounds like you've got 2.x software and 3.x firmware, which others have confirmed is a working combination.
[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
I'm going to take a guess here and say you probably dirty flashed Maximus over Viper?

I did the same thing last night and had a few issues, so I restored my backup and will wait for 2.6.0(3.0.0?) to drop.

TiBu and wiping isn't something I want to bother with if I can help it. TiBu never seems to restore everything correctly. I might wipe and test-drive it later, but I'll end up restoring ViperOne after a little play time. :D

Edit: The two different versions shown is fine. Phone info is ROM base, Hboot shows firmware.

[One (M8) Android Development] xunholyx:
Firewater doesn't seem to work any more for most people. It worked for me, but I did it a month after the M8 release, so they must have patched it somehow.

You could use SunShine, which seems to work for everyone. But it costs $25. It's worth it IMO.

You could also try to flash the firmware from the link I sent you since it is from your carrier. The MID and CID will match and it should flash without a problem. If it doesn't match, Hboot just aborts the installation. You won't get bricked.

You can also go to this thread for more information and downloads.
