Read the OP it will give you a link to go get the stock recovery....
[One (M8) Android Development] EternalAndroid:
Yeah my fault, reading too fast again.
[One (M8) Android Development] kiladubz:
I did that, downloaded the one on first post, used adb to flash, and it says wrong version, I'm assuming that means its an old stock recovery (4.4.2/3?) my question is, how would I be able to pull the stock recovery from 4.4.4?
[One (M8) Android Development] jake.99x3:
Is it possible that a full GPE RUU will come out for the sprint and or Verizon edition M8's? I know there are ROMS but I'm talking about a full conversion
[One (M8) Android Development] EternalAndroid:
No.
[One (M8) Android Development] jay661972:
Just extract the recovery.img from the 4.4.4 ruu then use adb to flash.

Hello,

I have convert my M8 to GPE successfully, but I would like to know what baseband version do you have?

Mine is 1.14.21331931 and the kernel version is 3.40.-gb1b6fb1.

Is everything ok?
[One (M8) Android Development] Wingzer:
Anyone know/tried to do this conversion to the HTC One E8?

They are identical hardware wise aside from the Camera and no IR blaster.

[One (M8) Android Development] bodooo:
To get stock kernel back can I just flash the boot.img from the ruu folder?
[One (M8) Android Development] kokinator02:
No Ir? There's nothing wrong with Ir blaster. Works flawless, just have to download the right app (for you're needs) to control it. There are plenty out there.
[One (M8) Android Development] Wingzer:
I think you must be confused.

I asked about the HTC One E8 notice the E not an M.

It is a plastic bodied version of the M8 without the duo cam and without the IR blaster.

I want to know if it's possible to do a GPE conversion on this model or if anyone has tried it.

I sold my M7 and bought my M8 literally yesterday and I'm tempted to try this. I didn't read the whole thread but I skimmed through most post and this is what I gathered. Please correct me if I'm wrong

- Can't go back to Sense without an RUU because of partition size

- Duo camera works just as well (3D effects, refocus, all that stuff)

- Music playback not as good on GPE

- Battery life is close but Sense is a bit better

- Android L soon!!!

Am I missing things that are on Sense and won't be on GPE (anything more than what I've seen converting my M7 to GPE). I'm really mostly concerned about the duo camera features, I really don't want to lose any of that.

Thanks!

You could always try using Google.. Rule #1 on XDA is to search.

Here is one thing I noticed, when I was on Sense, my phone would say 4G/LTE at work everywhere I would go to, but the speed wasn't that great. I can get 4-5 megabytes per second on 4G and even if the phone said I had 4G, I wan downloading apps at 200k per second.

I went outside where I know 4G is great, Sense still said 4G but now I was getting 3-4 megs per second.

After I switched to GPE, now it's showing "H" or 3G in the building, and 4G when I'm outside.

My guess is that the carrier version of the Sense software is more "optimistic" about signal quality and perhaps hides the fact that the phone falls back to 3G-H a lot. GPE seems more honest about it and doesn't display 4G when it's really 3G.

[One (M8) Android Development] rhcreed:
Read through the thread, still have a question

if I use the standard GPE recovery (so I can get the OTA when they drop), can I use the root/busybox ruu?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
When you RUU the Rooted version, you'll end up with root and the stock recovery, that means you'll get Android L OTA when it comes out, and when that happens you will lose Root.
[One (M8) Android Development] Misledz:
There;s something that needs to be added to the OP.

For one the firmware favors US based phones, which means phones made outside the US will have issues with baseband.

I took a long hard guess on trying to figure out for the longest time why despite following steps accurately that I wasn't getting any IMEI or baseband. When checking in bootloader mode, it shows the radio and baseband properly. Flashed it twice, same story. Flashed a BS_US002 radio from one of the OTA's posted and I finally managed to get signal. For me the one that worked was (1.19.21331147A1.09G_20.57.4196.01L_F) and it worked fine, signal, baseband and IMEI. Just thought I'd share this for those who are unable to get any baseband.
[One (M8) Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
Interesting .. Would the play edition bought from google have the correct bands for your area?
[One (M8) Android Development] Misledz:
Not entirely sure about that as I had hoped the radio's pretty much worked for Asia/EUR anyways, according to MKBHD he mentioned you can only get the GPE in the US Play Store so that sort of thins it down to the available regions it can be purchased from.

The OTA's and RUU's I take it are also ripped from the same US one too, probably to favor the LTE bands in the US. Probably something along the lines of "Made available only in the US, for US"
[One (M8) Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
Seems the ruu should be modified to not flash radio then

[One (M8) Android Development] mickrick:
I'm having major issues returning to sense. It seems that my system partition is too small to restore to. Using Philztouch recovery, I can see it starting to restore the files but 937mb into a 2102mb restore, it runs out of space and stops restoring. I have tried 2014-06-13--11-03-03 KOT49H release-keys, 2014-09-30.17.13.01_KTU84L_release-keys, stock_1.54.401.5_odexed_2014-04-05 and 2.22.401.5 and the same problem occurs with all of them. Before trying to restore, I run a factory reset from bootloader and a full wipe in recovery.

Can anyone suggest something that I should do? Is it possible to resize the partitions?

A few questions before converting my phone :

-Is the network going to work in my country as the RUU is for the USA (I live in Switzerland, carrier is Orange CH) ?

-Will I receive the OTA's if I set my region to Switzerland, as it is a US only phone (are OTA's available also in other countries) ?

[One (M8) Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
After converting to the GPE, (and doing the CID thing), I've *think* that the camera doesn't quite seem to be in sync with the flash in low light conditions.

The flash works perfectly and the photo takes but the photos seem much darker than i would expect given the flash was used.

For example, in a darkened room if i take a picture of an object about 1M away it seems brighter than it would having not used the flash but not greatly illuminated either.

Any ideas, how are yours?
[One (M8) Android Development] Francis Ace:
Buying M8

I was wondering. If an HTC One M8 Harman Kardon edition from sprint will work with this GPE conversion. It accepts sim so its GSM right?
[One (M8) Android Development] kokinator02:
This are the bands included with Htc ONE GPE:

Unlocked GSM/UMTS/HSPA+/LTE

GSM/GPRS/EDGE quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

HSPA/UMTS quad-band 850/AWS/1900/2100 MHz

3G (850, 1900, 2100 MHz)

HSDPA 21, HSUPA 5.76

4G LTE (700 MHz, AWS)

NanoSIM

Source

If you're terminal has different needs, you can flash a zip after convention. There's a thread for it.

OTAs will get there, if you also change CID (/MID inclusive, as I did my self) no matter where you are. I live in Mx and each time I flash 4.4.2 RUU again, the latest is always there asking to download after first config.

Regards!

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

So there's no way I can convert an M8 Harman Kardon edition to GPE with OTA updates huh?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Nope. The GPE ROM won't work as-is on Sprint. That's why there's a port. Just flash the port and when the L OTA comes out, just wait for the port to be updated.
[One (M8) Android Development] Francis Ace:
So which one should I buy? A 32gb Harman Kardon HTC m8 then install ported GPE or 16GB HTC ONE M8 with GPE and OTA updates?

BTW if I choose the HK edition and converted it to GPE every time theres an update the port comes out. When I install it will it wipe all my data again?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
If you're on Sprint, the GPE won't work. You have to buy a Sprint variant if you want it to work on the Sprint network. That's why the carriers all have individual variants.

I wouldn't waste the money on the HK Edition unless you really want the earbuds. The regular M8 is essentially identical to it, besides the Harman Kardon logo and the adsp firmware, which can easily be flashed if you go S-OFF.

And you don't need to convert the device to GPE "every time theres an update". You simply flash the ROM from custom recovery. It won't wipe any data when you flash, though depending on the extent of the update, a clean flash might be best. That's why there are backup programs :).
[One (M8) Android Development] jrodsep:
How long does it usually take for GPE devices to get updates? Did the M7 get it within a month of Google releasing updates?
[One (M8) Android Development] farru503:

[One (M8) Android Development] jrodsep:
Even better than expected.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
I might be wrong about this, but I think the HTC Google Edition devices got the 4.4.4 update before Nexus devices.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
It got it quicker than some nexus devices
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Only one question remains, which to use; Sense 6 which has the better camera, or Android L that implements features that Sense already has (DND, Lockscreen notification, better quick settings) but also material design.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Honestly I kept switching back and forth. The camera on sense is so much better. I was converted for a while but converted to a developer edition today. I want to play with that eye software. I was really hoping they would announce a m8 with better camera the other day. I feel that's the only thing lacking on the m8. Phone cameras use to not be a factor for me but lately I have been taking a lot more shots than I use to. So far I have found the camera on the OnePlus One to be the best(as well as the oppo find 7 camera)
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
And this is why I love MultiROM :).
[One (M8) Android Development] LNJ:
They did release the M8 Eye silently only for the Chinese market for now and supposedly for the Indian market soon.

[One (M8) Android Development] LNJ:

[One (M8) Android Development] cadialex:
I heard some reports saying that the phone isn't as smooth as on Sense after the conversion.

Could anyone confirm or deny that ? I'll get this RUU if it's ok :)
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
I have the same problem, sometimes I change twice on the same day. You almost made it too easy to do the switch :)

I agree with you, of all the extras Sense offers, the camera is the reason I go back to it. I do have a good digital camera and of course no phone can compete with that but when I don't have it, I do prefer the Sense camera.

Hopefully Sense on L will make me convert one last time and stick to it.

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 AM ----------

It's hard to tell, they are both really smooth and I don't see a difference when I use the phone. I hear that some games have better framerate on GPE but I don't play games like than on my phone.

Day to day usage, you won't think GPE isn't as smooth and battery life to me is very close (sense seems a bit better).
[One (M8) Android Development] Wingzer:
Performed the conversion on my M8 today after having to use sunshine as firewater didn't work.

I must say I'm impressed with the ease and performance of the device.

Users should have the choice of GPE or Sense when they setup the phone and also should be able to switch whilst keeping all their data intact.

If Google could impose that choice on the phone makers I think you'd find the majority choosing GPE.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
There are a couple things Sense does better

- Camera, Ability to change font, lockscreen wallpaper, extreme battery saving, the music player is amazing.
[One (M8) Android Development] Wingzer:
I agree Sense has its benefits and is by far the best OEM skin with comparison to Samsung and LG.

I don't consider Motorola to be a customisation as the UI and experience is largely the same as AOSP/Nexus.

This may sound a bit stupid/ironic but is it possible / has anyone successfully installed blinkfeed on their GPE One M8?
[One (M8) Android Development] farru503:
Google now does pretty much the same
[One (M8) Android Development] Wingzer:
It doesn't display news,sports,social or anything like that.

I've actually grown quite fond if blinkfeed just a shame I'm fonder of the AOSP look and feel.
[One (M8) Android Development] FIFATG:
Stupid question, but i'm really wondering:

What happens if I try this procedure and my device is s-on?

[One (M8) Android Development] esuohe:
Depending on what your earlier steps were, you'll need to regain root access and install your custom recovery of choice once again.
[One (M8) Android Development] WinterApocalypse:
Both the rooted and non-rooted RUU zips replace any recovery currently installed with the stock GPE one. To get your custom one back all you have to do is reboot into bootloader (either by holding Vol Down while booting phone, or using the adb command "adb reboot-bootloader" while USB Debugging is enabled), select Fastboot mode, then run the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".

[One (M8) Android Development] stefan38:
You will become software updates with root.

Yes you will loose root when flashing ota update.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
It's normal, Sense (specially carrier specific Sense) has a tendency to show 4G even if the phone drops to H and even sometimes it'll say 4G when it's 3G. My phone on Rogers said I had 4g in the server room at work and I would try to browse and I would not be able to because there is no data signal in there at all.

Google edition won't do that, it'll tell you exactly what network you are on without making it look better. So yeah expect to see it swap a lot, it did before but it wasn't as obvious.

But that IS the stock recovery, isn't it? If you push Power+Volume Up, then the Menu should appear.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
It's fine. There is no menu or option in recovery so it'll try to look for an OTA file and error out when it does. Everything is OK with your recovery. Sense recovery is the same, big red ! when you boot and pick to go to recovery
[One (M8) Android Development] mpalatsi:
Okay, I wasn't aware that was the behavior for stock recovery. So if booting into the recovery presents you with the android and red warning symbol when no OTA update is found, I am in the right condition. Thank you for the clarification.
