Were you on a Sense ROM prior to flashing this? If so, I'd recommend https://www.dropbox.com/s/y46q9eajive7ruu/3.28.401.9-Firmware-noredtext.zip?dl=0

If you're on TMO or ATT.

THis is the firmware im using. The only issue i have is Bluetooth causes my device to freeze sometimes. kind of annoying but oh well
[One (M8) Android Development] hcazzz:
I have a weird issue where I can boot and get into home screen without any issues. WiFi works normally. However, I have no status bar and navigation bar. Swiping from the top or bottom does nothing. I've tried reflashing and formatting the system partition and still no nav bar and status bar.

I'm using TWRP 2.8.1.0 with the latest sense firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] klbjr:
Can I flash this like any other Sense/AOSP ROM or do I have to run the GPE RUU?
[One (M8) Android Development] cadialex:
There are other people experiencing the same. You just need to run a command to stop that, but I can't find which one it is. Check in the thread for SkyDragon's, I'm pretty sure it has been said there :)
[One (M8) Android Development] tele_jas:
Just flash away! No need to RUU.

;) (Backup your files first, even your Nandroid)
[One (M8) Android Development] PhillyFlyer:
It is the sense fw. flash the gpe firmware and youll be set.
[One (M8) Android Development] Lancerz:
All he needs to do is flash the ROM with Philz recovery...
[One (M8) Android Development] juanshop:
that did it! thank you very much! :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] Uamore6:
Love the ROM been using it all day. I have been getting messages, but just a few minutes ago I am wondering how do I get to my messages. Don't see my normal icon.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikdiamon:
Nice catch this works great!
[One (M8) Android Development] jrock60:
Just found my first issue... IR doesn't seem to work. I'm using smart remote app.
[One (M8) Android Development] PhoenixMert:
Remove HTC weather with titanium backup and then reinstall HTC service pack from the play store, then your ir will work just fine.
[One (M8) Android Development] mrjaydee82:
ROM Updated!!! Enjoy...I'm updating the op now to be up to date
[One (M8) Android Development] oRAirwolf:
Am I correct in assuming this can be dirty flashed over 4.0.0?
[One (M8) Android Development] Lancerz:
The rom uses Hangouts for sms and mms. I'd suggest giving the google messenger a go if you don't like hangouts. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging&hl=en
[One (M8) Android Development] cygnus56:
I can flash with TWRP?
[One (M8) Android Development] ThePwnie:
I'm getting "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped" error, not letting me into setup screen.
[One (M8) Android Development] mrjaydee82:
Try using philz recovery to install ROM
[One (M8) Android Development] jrock60:
Tried that but get error 503 in the play store when installing the htc update
[One (M8) Android Development] mrjaydee82:
Got that set as default in the ROM update :)
[One (M8) Android Development] los1010:
Or try textra which is also a great alternate
[One (M8) Android Development] PhoenixMert:
Is this a new base? Seems that the misc battery drain has gone.

Update: bug is still present
[One (M8) Android Development] ThePwnie:
I don't have problems flashing the ROM, it just doesn't let me into the setup screen.
[One (M8) Android Development] PhoenixMert:
Took me like 2 minutes for the first boot
[One (M8) Android Development] v-b-n:
Because we don't have the kernel sources out yet there is no WRITE module available for /system while its mounted .. so any change you make while system is running will be lost on reboot .. only option for now is to make same changes manually via recovery

For people having WiFi issues, flash back radio from the last working official ROM you had ... My 5GHz wifi was not connecting at all but once I reverted to the last radio from Sense 4.4.2 that I had for my region, all is working like a charm !

So, you can take the android-info.txt from the new 5.0 firmware zip and following 2 files from the last official firmware you had :-

radio.img

rcdata.img

Zip it up using 7-zip on Windows or normally on Linux/Mac. Fastboot flash this zip and enjoy !

Also, even though the base being used is same, this custom build is not having any drain issues at all and full on smooth .. great job !

Edit. My Tapatalk was messing up
[One (M8) Android Development] jake.99x3:
Is there an eta on the VZW build? I was working on cm 12 porting things, checking the fc's and I was referencing the DH 5.0 rom for verizon but that has massive battery drain.
[One (M8) Android Development] ThePwnie:
it could be a firmware issue? is there a way I can check my firmware? I can go through the boot, but services stop working and I'm not able to setup my device.
[One (M8) Android Development] PhoenixMert:
Sounds like the firmware, anyone else got any input?
[One (M8) Android Development] Lancerz:
Just did a clean install of the updated rom and everything went fine using philz recovery, setting it up now.
[One (M8) Android Development] Jainyankee1993:
Anyone have the freezing/ lock ups issue that was present in SkyDragon? I loved his rom, the only thing that was a bit annoying was the constant reboots I had to do because of the phone locking up, particularly when i opened Chrome
[One (M8) Android Development] jpcdeux:
Ohhhhh snaps! Wonder how this compares to the other L rom

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

I don't get this. Seen it mentioned before. I can add and remove system apps, write to internal and external using root explorer. Idk if its because I use Chainfires SU 2.19B which is much higher than found in these Roms...
[One (M8) Android Development] Devildog78965:
Some reason i cant access my internal storage only my sd card. Anyone else having this problem?
[One (M8) Android Development] vang2k:
got my 32GB HTC M8 in the mail around 3PM. Rooted, Recovery, SuperCID, S-OFF, flashed sinless ROM. Profit :)

Amazing rom! Can't wait until there are more TN customizations. Everything works smoothly and I just flashed viper4android. Feels nice to be back with HTC!
[One (M8) Android Development] Uamore6:
Just did a dirty flash of ROM..everything still running smoothly... And I even got my famous messenger icon back. Ty. Also got to say the best battery life I have had on any of my phones. I was in class today and didn't charge my phone and I'm still at 54%. Very big deal for me.
[One (M8) Android Development] los1010:
Maybe its just me from excitement but this ROM feels too damn smooth WiFi works rock solid now gonna give the battery a few days until the official 5.0 release but this feels like the real deal no leak
[One (M8) Android Development] hugebulge:
is flashing an updated firmware required for 5.0 to boot? I tried flashing with twrp and phils, just hangs at splash screen.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Well now I have got to try this :)

Gotta love those mirrors... Quebec #1, ETA 55 minutes. Quebec #3, ETA 90 seconds.
[One (M8) Android Development] jzero88:
Why can't I find the downloads for this ROM?

Edit: found but should be named more appropriately. Not complaining in anyway thank you, just saying.

[One (M8) Android Development] PureLife90:
so what's the difference between this and skydragon? nothing?
[One (M8) Android Development] Mentalmuso:
This rom was released yesterday and we have had an update already. The op is a very active updater
[One (M8) Android Development] PureLife90:
Skydragon is active as well. Aren't they the same version of Android L? This one have any mods? I just don't wanna flash if they're the same lol
[One (M8) Android Development] Artelier:
How do I wipe and install from Philz recovery? Not used to it and the videos I found on YouTube are so blurry and fast.

I'm looking at the menu options and it seems a bit more complicated than TWRP...or maybe I'm misunderstanding it.
[One (M8) Android Development] jpcdeux:
Philz is CWM basically. Old school. I flashed the other L ROM with latest TWRP no problem. I'd assume this same. Some say with TWRP itll fail once then reinstall and it works
[One (M8) Android Development] PureLife90:
I flashed the other L rom in slot 3 of multirom twrp.
[One (M8) Android Development] hcazzz:
I tried searching the thread and couldn't find any command to stop that :(

I would rather stick with the sense fw since there are others using lollipop without issues with the sense fw

Do I have to use a specific version or the latest version will do?

I'm not sure how this is an issue as others had no issue flashing with the latest TWRP

I lost root when dirty flashed 4.0.1 over 4.0.0.. ?

This ROM doesn't work for me, it ROCKS. Fast, smooth, solid WiFi, I'm not even anxious to see an ota anymore, this is perfect
[One (M8) Android Development] BadAzDB:
Woah this ROM is now blazing fast with that new update.
[One (M8) Android Development] munchy_cool:
[MENTION=2477527]mrjaydee82[/MENTION] - I am not sure if this rom has the bug wherein wifi disconnects when device goes to sleep, but i have seen people reporting the issue.

If that be the case maybe you can get in touch with DH over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2716306 because he created an updated firmware for Verizon M8 with updated wifi drivers for Lollipop and the above bug has thus been squashed.
[One (M8) Android Development] jpcdeux:
Better than the other one eh?
[One (M8) Android Development] tele_jas:
Me too... I don't know why I'm having soooo much trouble with this? ROM runs super smooth, but the storage issue is killing me. I had it all fixed and then installed something that messed me up, so I dirty flashed the ROM again and lost everything again... The terminal command doesn't work for me, so I copy everything from my PC to my phone. Then the 4.0.1 update came and I dirty flashed it, and lost my stuff again.... It's still there, just can't access it.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Well 4.0.0 wasn't but 4.0.1 is really fast.
[One (M8) Android Development] jpcdeux:

[One (M8) Android Development] Lancerz:
Search back a few pages, someone put the link up. And you can flash the recovery with flashify from the market.

I am able to flash the 4.4.4 sinless Roms though ? ?
[One (M8) Android Development] jzero88:
Definitely much smoother than SD, much smoother
[One (M8) Android Development] calebcabob:
I noticed in the OP that it says "Verizon & Sprint users please see my other threads" :(

So, being with Verizon and all, I should probably just accept the fact that I am not gonna get this working right?

How i can fix the storage problems? Not know yet?
[One (M8) Android Development] hugebulge:
well.. I give up. I tried philz and twrp. Upgraded to 3.28.401.9 firmware and I keep getting stuck at the setup failing and a system process error. do I need to just flash a 5.0 gpe firmware? does anyone have a link?

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Is it just hidden behind a 0 folder? after 5 failed rom flashes my storage was hidden 5 "0" folders. I just moved the folders back in solid explorer.

HELP.....Lost a Nandroid somewhere and it's eating up space?

I did a Nandroid using TWRP (2.8.1.0), that was about 4.5gb..... Then after I updated to 4.0.1 I cannot find my Nandroid, but my system is showing about 4.5gb less data available?? It says I only have 24gb of data, total available now.

I have no TWRP folder listed anywhere..... Anyone know where I can start looking? Can I format my intarnal SD card to give me all my space back, or am I going to have to do a RUU to get all my space back now?? I've already tried wiping all my data using TWRP, but there appears to be a partition that TWRP can't touch.

The attached screen shot is before I loaded ANY app data.. I'm down to 10gb of free space now (without any Nandroids on the drive)
[One (M8) Android Development] androidindian:
GUYS, PLEASE USE PHILZ RECOVERY ONLY!!!

AND AS FOR SDCARD NOT SHOWING, USE EITHER ADB OR TERMINAL EMULATOR APP FROM PLAY STORE AND RUN THE FOLLOWING COMMAND!

su

restorecon /data/media/0/

* sorry for the caps lock, but people don't bother to read last few pages and see workarounds. just use a simple search function on top and it gives great results!

Flashed and waiting on reboot now -- very excited!

OP - thanks for all your hard work!! Just a heads up that the TN page still lists TWRP as the recommended recovery instead of Philz, and TWRP won't work for the latest version of this rom at least. (I know you updated the thread here at xda to recommend Philz...just think it would be good to have the TN page updated, too!)

Cheers!!

is there any way for now disable system files protection ??!!??

i use kernel for do this in gpe 4.4.4.4

thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] Erislover:
Alright, so I completed the reboot, and I have root still (yay), but no wifi. I see a few other posts with this issue (I'll read more to look for the fix), but if anyone knows the wifi fix, please feel free to reply and make it easy on me!
[One (M8) Android Development] marko93leopard:
what version of firmware you have?
[One (M8) Android Development] Rouz.:
Guys if your WiFi is getting disconnected when the screen goes off, I can confirm that flashing the L firmware is the ONLY way to fix this issue. I have tried so many other solutions and this is the only one that fixed it for good.
[One (M8) Android Development] blacklistedcard:
I flashed it and it came back with the supersu app that the su binary was not present.
[One (M8) Android Development] Erislover:
Sorry -- big noob reveal here: where do I find my firmware version?

Guessing you've hit the nail on the head though, as I updated from 4.4.4 to this rom only with a complete wipe and an install of Philz latest recovery. So yeah, probably it's the firmware. Still, if you know how I can check my firmware version, I'd love to know!

Updated to the firmware from here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4bs5HNkJNR7SXVoUFR4dHhVRGs/view

That's the modded firmware, and so far it's working great.

Wiped everything, pushed firmware through adb (after entering: fastboot oem rebootRUU), and then reflashed ROM.

Looking good, now!

for some reason this worked for me as well. just that wifi keeps dropping when my phone is idle. i didn't have that problem with twrp except twrp won't give me nav buttons and status bar.

did the 4.0.1 fix the wifi drops?

then i tried with philz and after install i only ge to the white HTC start up page..

How long did you wait at the HTC startup page?
[One (M8) Android Development] -WP7User-:
Thanks a lot for this great rom!

I've been using version 4.0.0 for approx. 12 hours now and I'm really happy with it.

I came from the latest PA Beta and had SuperCID and S-Off, so i just had to flash the 3.28.401.9 FW and Philz Recovery - flashing the rom afterwards worked like a charm and I've got everything set up and working nicely on my phone now :)

No battery drain at all (quite the same battery life I've experienced on PA, too), no problems with the Navbar or the status bar - the only problem I can reproduce is the WiFi bug. This doesn't really bother me because I don't use WiFi too often, but I'll try flashing the L FW and the 4.0.1 update nevertheless when I get home and report back if this solved it for me :)

Thanks again for the great rom, using it as a daily driver and couldn't be happier!

PS: Did anyone notice that the equalizer on Lollipop seems to be better? My music sounds way better through GPM and my Marshall headphones on 5.0 than it did on 4.4.4. Is this really the case or is it just because I'm so happy about this update? ;)

[One (M8) Android Development] daffie:
Damn! I just installed this new FW but now all content on phone seems to be wiped? Within Recovery (2.8.1.0) the external sd, sd-ext and sdcard folders have no content. Phone doesn't startup neither (stuck on white HTC screen).

Looks like a complete&utter wipe to me. Any idea's how to solve this? Maybe flash Philz recovery first? Or....

Any help is much appreciated. Btw I am s-off and was running SinLess 4.0.1 just fine before.
[One (M8) Android Development] -WP7User-:
Do you have S-Off?
[One (M8) Android Development] Erislover:
I'm s-off too... Definitely try pushing philz recovery, wipe all, push latest FW, flash 4.0.1... Ought to work
