Hi guys,

Somehow, 2 to 3 months after sideloading the L-MR1 patch suddenly I get the OTA for 5.1 although the phone is already on it.

Any ideas what I can do to get rid of the unwanted OTA???
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
Rogers is GSM so I have no idea why that would be. Try re-flashing the RUU, my only issue with this is that my MMS pictures don't come in and when I send them the OS resends them 9 times.
[One (M8) Android Development] CB620:
Ok this is what I did. I don't encrypt or decrypt.

HOW TO RETURN TO SENSE:

-Flash 1.54 Image

-Boot Into OS

-Get Decrypt Error

-Boot back into Bootloader

-Flash TWRP

-Boot into Recovery

-Wipe Data, Factory Reset, Advanced Wipe-Wipe System, Data, Cache

-Reboot Recovery

-Restore or Flash a Sense Rom

I am now back with Sense. Couldn't be more happy
[One (M8) Android Development] housry23:
Funny thing is, no! I am reflashing the RUU for GPE now and will retry. It was strange. Charlie was able to fix his, but when I tried to mount data and/or wipe data in TWRP I would get a failed message and it would say.. unable to mount data and unable to mount internal storage. I used no such encryption. I never have. I've been doing this a long time and have never run into this problem. One thing I remember is TWRP having this problem if you didn't boot into system before installing a Rom on the Nexus 5. I think that's where I went wrong.
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
I had exactly the same problem with the decryption. After an hour of trying to get it to work I could see the viper ron couldn't mount the partitions so I just adb'd the GPE rom back on... back up and running.

Apparently as the partitions don't match it thinks there is something iffy with the phone lol.
[One (M8) Android Development] housry23:
OK, I reflashed the GPE conversion RUU, then followed navalynt instructions but instead rebooted after flashing TWRP and I was able to wipe data and flash AndroidHD successfully. Everything is working so far. Some things are a little wonky, like it wouldn't let me restore my Google account and the bootanimation is the stock AOSP one with the word android in silver letters.
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
Did you eventually get the Google account running?
[One (M8) Android Development] housry23:
Well my Google account works, I just couldn't auto restore the apps like normal.
[One (M8) Android Development] CB620:
Just clear the app data in the settings.
[One (M8) Android Development] Hogyoku:
Does anyone have a link for a UK Radio.. after i flashed the full conversion im not getting any 4G/LTE ?

Never mind got 4G after reboot ...
[One (M8) Android Development] cashyftw:
Everything worked for me! Converted back to sense without issue.
[One (M8) Android Development] djkinetic:
Had to reflash GPE RUU in order to get TWRP to recognize internal storage. Flashing Viper 1.2 now.
[One (M8) Android Development] criptix:
Back to sense now thanks for the work around!
[One (M8) Android Development] lezperez:
Just wondering if I need to remove the radio to use this on Vodafone in the UK?
[One (M8) Android Development] digitaldazz:
I removed the radio and all is working normally, on uk vodafone.
[One (M8) Android Development] lezperez:
I got impatient and flashed it anyway, but no problems to report so far!
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
Same here. On Viper and no issues. I just want to say I love the GPE rom.

It was just the issue of being able to flash back to any other rom was a problem. Once there is an easier method this will make it the rom of choice. I just want the choice to be easier.

Thank you
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
twrp is working on this now ?
[One (M8) Android Development] HolyAngel:
Twrp is the reason you guys couldn't mount data or wipe it, use Philz and you won't have that problem ever. Ran into that problem with twrp on two seperate occasions flashing sense ROMs, I havent converted yet.
[One (M8) Android Development] kennypow3rs:
Yes you'll get OTA as long as you have stock GPE recovery which you will if you convert. I'm on pre-rooted I'm sure when OTA's roll out root may get lost but I'm unlocked and s-off. Getting root again will be like taking candy from a baby. Do the conversion already dude!!!
[One (M8) Android Development] AUSTIN3:16:
Thanks for the reply!
[One (M8) Android Development] bgtrack:
Camera

Anyone else having an issue with the camera after the conversion? Specifically shutter speed? Mine shutter is going so slow it takes forever to finally take the picture :/
[One (M8) Android Development] alihuda2002:
I actually have tried re-flashing the RUU to rooted and non-rooted version both on 5.0 and 5.1 and still can't get this problem resolved?

I'm thinking maybe I'm on the wrong firmware radio or something which I couldn't figure out yet.
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
I'm with Telus and have the same baseband version.

The only difference is my cid, I changed it to the Google one.
[One (M8) Android Development] alihuda2002:
Mine is on SUPERCID so I guess this shouldn't affect anything here :(

I hate going back to Sense or using SkyDragon GPE version, but this problem is really annoying and I might have to go that direction if no one can help me with this.
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
You could try CyanogenMod 12.1, it's based on Android 5.1.1 similar experience as the GPe.

Did you check and make sure your phone is using the right APN and network?
[One (M8) Android Development] Vigz:
Has anyone who ever converted to Google Play edition tried to successfully sim unlock their phone with an unlock code? I am currently abroad and purchased a code from UnlockRiver. It didn't unlock and I checked the IMEI so many times. Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] Ben Abel:
I couldn't pinpoint any major bugs myself, it just isn't as smooth as GPe, and apps crash a bit more. The last nightly I tried is over a week old by now, and it was approaching daily driver status, for me at least. But whenever I switch back over to GPe, I realize how much smoother it is over CM 12.1. It seems to me that CyanogenMod is taking a lot longer to stabilize Lollipop than previous versions of Android. It's been my worst experience with CM nightlies up until recently.

IMHO, GPe offers the best experience for the M8 at the moment. :victory:
[One (M8) Android Development] alihuda2002:
I've just checked my APN and it does look right comparing to Rogers' site. I'm going to check CM 12.1 as you suggest.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ben Abel:
Ok, I've flashed the stock recovery provided by OP, but trying to enter that stock recovery (by either 'adb reboot recovery' or pressing power + volume down) fails. It shows the android on its back, with red exclamation coming from it's belly :eek:

Is that unusual? Can I proceed with the L-MR1 update, or do I need to re-flash the stock recovery, or what?
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
Yeah this is normal, you're good to go, now in recovery you need to press and hold the power button and press volume up at the same time, this will bring up the recovery menu, once it's up go to sideload and follow instructions.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ben Abel:
Awesome, thanks! I chose to install the OTA via the notification, and Android is upgrading now :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Ben Abel:
Actually, trying the OTA via the notification acted like it was going to update, but left me with the LMY470.H6 build number. I am able to enter stock recovery once the red exclamation android is showing by holding power and tapping volume up. But how can I sideload the OTA that was downloaded to my phone?
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
You don't put it on your phone, you side load the OTA from your computer. You need ADB tools and the phone connected to your PC.
[One (M8) Android Development] shamps:
Hi.

Is xposed framework available for our devices? Specifically this rom.

There are a couple of mods i miss and would love to use.

Specifically wakelock terminator, google play services is draining my battery like crazy.

Thanks in advance!!
[One (M8) Android Development] mattplo:
This really is the wrong place to ask this question. The Xposed threads answer your question time and time again.
[One (M8) Android Development] mofogx:
Unlock codes are usually carrier specific, and I would imagine that you would have to try unlocking your device on its original sense software, which is what I did with my at&t variant before converting. Some sites explicitly state that the phone has to be unmodified for codes to work, so that may be a source of your issues. Also, I would use this opportunity to get a refund from UnlockRiver, as there are many unlocking vendors on eBay that will cost you a lot less and generate your unlock code within minutes.

Edit: I've looked up your issue, and, indeed, you need to revert your device to stock, unmodified Sense (one that matches the hardware's carrier). Once you do this, try the unlock code again, and it should work.
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
I was under the assumption that if you googlaize a phone as with an htc RUU package, you turn the phone into a stock phone, the fw, and drivers turn into GPe stock, or rather Google drivers, meaning they're unlocked. However if you choose to take the ROM option, you're locked to your carriers drivers and firmware, hence why only GSM version of the HTC M8 can be turned into a GPe phone.
[One (M8) Android Development] SiK TL:
I've been trying to find a flashable zip of the sense camera with working duo effects. Wounds you mind sharing it?
[One (M8) Android Development] scifan:
What I did was to grab the Gpe multi carrier from the Verizon m8 forum, extract it and adb flash push the folder for that sense option.... However I also found that some combination of the sense camera and sense music player borks WiFi... I haven't bothered with putzing with it more as I haven't had time between work and other real life stuff...

Digital high is the one who spent time figuring that one out for his ROM...
[One (M8) Android Development] mattplo:
The Duo Effects are not in any way shape or form part of the Sense Camera or the Sense Gallery.

When you take a picture using the Google Camera that comes pre-installed on the GPE rom/ruu you need to edit that picture using the "FX Editor". This appears under the edit menu as "Edit with HTC Photo Editor" The exact name for this apk is " HMS_Gallery.apk".

You should have this already pre-installed. To check whether you have this app go to /system/apps with a file browser. Look for the the apk that has an "FX" icon and the name "HMS_Gallery.apk"

If you for some reason do not have this application...well here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1KuJ4mNg5h0RDdGUHpoRktKOTg/edit?usp=docslist_api

Also, you should have the HTC Service Pack installed. If not(I don't know why you wouldn't if you are running GPE) then do that.
[One (M8) Android Development] RichardEb:
Does the ruu upgrade the firmware too or do I need to apply "5.1 LMY470.H4 4.04.1700.4 Firmware Zip " zip by myself too?

Will OTA work, if I flash a custom recovery after applying ruu?
[One (M8) Android Development] mofogx:
The RUU should upgrade the firmware as well. There would be no need to flash the additional zip. The OTA will work and install only if you are 100% stock and unrooted, and only on stock recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] Stephen:
Moderator Information,

I have cleaned the thread a bit, as it has gotten somewhat off-topic.

I tried to install the ...H6 OTA but it came to this error: "system/framework/htcirlibs.jar" has unexpected contents. E:Error in /cache/update.zip (Status 7)
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
You are not stock, and/or you are rooted.
[One (M8) Android Development] Frankle-master:
Not rooted, stock recovery. What else should I check out?
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
I think you need to upgrade to H5 first, then H6

Slightly odd question, but I've converted to GPE RUU from your custom ROM and have been used to seeing the battery percentage on the lock screen. This seems to be missing on the RUU version and try as I might I can't find a way to enable this option, anyone know how to this?
[One (M8) Android Development] Vigz:
Yep, I did revert to Sense with an RUU, successfully unlocked it, then came back to Google Play edition through the posted tutorial. Thanks guys.
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
It's an adb command, see this link: android.stackexchange.com/questions/75487/how-do-i-turn-on-battery-percentage-in-android-lollipop
[One (M8) Android Development] shamps:
Hi guys.

I currently have an international M8, with uh unlocked bootloader and s-off.

Though i have been using a flashable rom, i now want ti convert to a GPE.

Which us the latest RUU i should use si as to avoid the latest OTA and simply flash the latest RUU available.

Thanks in advance!!
[One (M8) Android Development] greenza:
Thanks for the link, when I run the adb command I get the following error;

/sbin/sh: content: not found

I've managed to get the battery percentage visible on the status bar with GravityBox but not when the screen is locked. This a minor annoyance, but it is handy to know if the phone is draining the battery with a quick flash of the lock screen. It would be great if there was a way to enable it.
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
You'll have to side load a couple OTA updates to get the the latest after flashing the RUU.

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

I don't remember how I got mine working. Hmmm

Edit: I definitively used the adb command to show the battery percentage.

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Try this, it does the same thing as the adb command: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
[One (M8) Android Development] greenza:
Try this and got the following 'This app is incompatible with your device.'

Found the apk here so will give it a go - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47227601

App didn't work but eventually found a setting in GravityBox to enable this on the lockscreen. Thanks for your help and sorry for going slightly off topic on this thread ;)

Why did u have to go to sense? I did the gpe conversion and a different sim worked with supercid. Am I missing something?
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
Thank you for confirming that, I thought if you do a full conversation it SIM unlocks the phone. Maybe buddy didn't RTFM

Does anyone know how to get rid of the L-MR1 update notification ?

I'm using the LMY build from graffix and root with SuperSU (not the pre-rooted ROM) so not sure if I am able to run this OTA.
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
Your best bet, install twrp, backup, and then reinstall stock recovery, then try the update. If it fails at least you have a backup. Do just data backup.
[One (M8) Android Development] DJ 1:
Hi, I've been using my Vodafone UK sim-locked m8 for a while now after converting to Gpe with OTAs etc.

However I'm looking to sell the phone, is there a way of unlocking the sim without returning it fully to stock?....I tries a cheap eBay £1.99 unlock but the unlock code is rejected.

I know I can set as super c.I.d but thatll break ota.... I want to sim unlock it 'as it is' (converted Gpe) before I sell it??

Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] exist2resist:
Someone previously mentioned that no it won't, you have to go back to stock or super cid.
[One (M8) Android Development] mofogx:
Converting to GPE doesn't remove a carrier subsidy lock.

If he was able to convert to GPE, back, and to GPE again, he most certainly did his reading. Doing a full conversion won't remove the subsidy lock on the device, if it was already there. A GPE RUU isn't going to automatically unlock a device, because GPE devices, by nature, were never locked to begin with. If you see by his posts, you'd notice that the conversion worked, and it worked well enough that an unlock code generated for the device's sense variant didn't work for it.

SuperCID is an option, and most changed to that particular CID before starting the conversion process. Unlocking process.
[One (M8) Android Development] greenza:
I'm very tempted to try this kernel, but I'm worried that OTA updates wouldn't work in the future. Don't suppose you know where I can find the stock GPE kernel If i wanted to revert back?

[One (M8) Android Development] mattplo:
Android M for HTC M8 is many months away at best. We will be lucky to see it before 2016. And that's if they don't break their promise. Which they break more promised than keep. Or if they are even mobile phone company at their current rate Considering they already said they were skipping 5.1.1 to go direct to Android M...this is seriously pathetic.

From this point on its Nexus or bust. GPE users are 100% entitled to 5.1.1. That was one of the premises that made GPE so tempting. Fast updates, up to date OS, etc. And users paid a premium for the GPE. And not a single word from HTC mouth regarding their decisions to skip 5.1.1 or why there is no stagefright patch. HTC is only about their last flagship. Any flagships prior to that are pretty much forgotten.
[One (M8) Android Development] bleggy:
[MENTION=1862878]movers[/MENTION]i on twitter says m8 stagefright fix is due very soon. and 5.1.1 doesn't seem urgent for our phones. I'm fine with the skip.
[One (M8) Android Development] mattplo:
[MENTION=1862878]movers[/MENTION]i had been saying "very soon" for weeks.. [MENTION=1862878]movers[/MENTION]i has also told M8 users they would not be receiving Sense 7 until Android M. But wait ... [MENTION=1941826]HTC_[/MENTION]UK made it very clear that Sense 7 was coming to M8s in August. See the thing is ..they're full of ****. They are completely nonsensical and seem to tell users whatever whenever it fits them. So quoting anyone from HTC from twitter laughable unless your goal is to make people laugh.

The latest funny completely clueless thing [MENTION=223784]HTC[/MENTION] said was when a user asked when the One Mini 2 would be receiving Lollipop. There response was "its not compatible"... I **** you not. Meanwhile back in reality land...there's Lollipop builds right now for the One Mini 2. (Won't even talk about the two year promise they broke on that). It's their job to build Lollipop for their devices. If its not " compatible " (which that doesn't even make any sense at all) its because they didn't feel like making it so.

HTC on Twitter is pure unadulterated PR bull**** nonsense at its worst. They aren't even good at that.
[One (M8) Android Development] bleggy:
