Look what i found to day while lurking CL in my area. :confused:

BS
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
i havent read the google license, but isnt that illegal ?
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
Has there been an updated RUU?

I keep seeing this when searching on Google

RUU-HTC_One_M8_GE-4.4-3.62.1700.16.zip

This site has a video which shows 4.4.3 being input. As well as quite a few others

http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/convert-your-htc-one-m8-into-google-play-edition-0154471/

Or have I missed it somewhere as I found a post in this thread where someone states 4.4.3 in the filename. I've had a good look through here and can't see it.

Must be my eyesight :( (old age)

Edit: Having checked most sites link back to the files of android host provided by the op. What's confusing but incorrect is this set of instructions:

Open a CMD window and type the following commands after connecting your phone

“adb reboot bootloader”

“fastboot oem reboot RUU”

“fastboot flash zip RUU-HTC_One_M8_GE-4.4-3.62.1700.16.zip”

Yet the link for the file is for the one provided by graffixnyc which does not have 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 as it is RUU-HTC_One_M8_GE-1.16.1700.16_rooted.zip
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
That's the firmware number.. It so.. 3.62.1700.16... 3.62.1700.16 is the firmware version and that fw version is for the m7 not m8 The other 1.16.1700.17 is the fw version for the m8.

Looks to me they just fudged up the directions
[One (M8) Android Development] :
When flashing the RUU I get the error "(remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)". Guessing it has something do to with the CIDs or MIDs? I have edited the text file.

Edit: Nvm, managed to get it to work :) All I had to do was edit the text file a little bit more, by putting enter after every line :)
[One (M8) Android Development] androidbuff123:
I'm on an ATT branded M8. I flashed this RUU and everything seems to have gone fine. I have the following questions.

1. Am I supposed to get an OTA update after this. ??

2. After flashing this RUU, I'm on Baseband version 1.14.21..... I know there is a newer one available for ATT..in the stock backup thread.. should I flash that radio or leave it alone?
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
1) Yes, providing you have stock recovery installed

2) It's up to you. I have installed the latest Dev Edition radio (ending 02L) and it appears to be getting better connection/stability but that could be a placebo.

You can extract the radio from the RUU as a backup just to be safe.
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
Ok, my problems haven't been solved... It seems to work for about a week or until I reboot the phone. It keeps dropping the signal several times a day until I reboot and/or switch to 2G and back to LTE.

Very annoying...
[One (M8) Android Development] androidbuff123:
Sorry, I wasn't very clear.. what I meant to ask was.. after flashing this..SHOULD I immediately get an OTA update to update me to the latest edition or is whatever in this RUU THE latest edition?

I checked for a system update and it didn't show any.
[One (M8) Android Development] hawaiianboi:
If the system update does not find any updates then you are good.
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
As of yet there has been no update for GPE - fingers crossed, not too long
[One (M8) Android Development] androidbuff123:
Wow. The Google play edition after enabling ART runtime is simply blazing fast. Too bad I'll have to uninstall it since I cannot get airwatch to configure my corporate exchange email.
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
I understand this must be a bugger if you want to use enterprise.

A long shot I know... rootcloak?

I can't say if it works

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devadvance.rootcloakplus
[One (M8) Android Development] androidbuff123:
But I am not rooted to begin with.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] any luck getting the RUU not to touch partition sizes?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
It wont happen.. If you don't want to touch partition sizes then just flash a GPE edition rom. As long as the GPE edition device has different partition sizes the RUU will because the idea is for this to turn your device into a GPE.
[One (M8) Android Development] Bliszcur:
help , baseband and imei unknown after flash this
[One (M8) Android Development] androidbuff123:
Have you checked make sure your CID is compatible? If it is then Reflash the ruu.
[One (M8) Android Development] Bliszcur:
Im using supercid
[One (M8) Android Development] hawaiianboi:
Did you try to reflash?
[One (M8) Android Development] NickS_:
Just reporting in. Two weeks on the GPE ROM. Good batt life, rock solid stable.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Strange one - my PC cannot see the internal memory. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I can view the DCIM folder if I change connect to PTP but MTP still doesn't display anything
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
edited for lack of intelligence
[One (M8) Android Development] gerrard_ss:
I had the same problem. Just flash radio (only) via fastboot. Your baseband should be back.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Really odd that you are seeing that..

If it was really that size the zip would be over a gig not only 510mb.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Further to my last post in here, everything is fine bar transferring files from PC to phone. I keep getting the attached error. Anyone had this at all?

For reference, this is a Windows 7 Pro x64-bit PC and it's fine when I was using Sense. Just trying to get my ringtones, etc. back on the phone and I can't :(
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
I made it that big, but get a sparse error when flashing, not divisible by 4096. I know you said this is a conversion and partitions are gonna change no matter what. My thing is I want all the GPE stuff, radio, splash, hboot, without losing the ability to flash back to stock tmo when I need wifi calling. I know, flash the rom. But I hate the white splash, and bootloader.

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

You might need to do a factory reset.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Yeah.. I know it will fail when flashing. The bootloader is what handles the partitioning. As I said, you're trying to flash a 2.6 GB partition to a partition that's only allowed to take 1.3gb-ish and that's controlled by the bootloader.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Even on a fresh install literally an hour ago? Screw that! :D

I got them on by uploading them and downloading them but I'll try my home PC and see what happens. If I have to reset it then so be it but would rather not have to!
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Only reason i suggest that, someone said yesterday they had no ringtones til they did a reset. Sounds like a related issue to me.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
It has the ringtones, I just can't add any new ones using MTP. I get the error I attached. I'll have a play about...
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Got home, and it's the same on my laptop as well so it does seem to be an issue with the phone :(

Factory reset it is...otherwise back to Sense
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
That is strange, I didnt have any problems with the conversion.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Done the reset, just updating everything and getting the phone 'ready' and then I'll give it a go...wonder if USB 3/ART is part of the issue? Can't see why as both had no affect on Sense but you never know...

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

:(

No luck, so looks like back to Sense I go unless someone else has any suggestions?
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
the only other thing i would suggest is going through the process again

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

forgive me for asking this but how do i edit the blur on pics? i thought it opened up to the htc thing but its going into the google + gallery and there is nothing of value in there
[One (M8) Android Development] Bliszcur:
Extract the radio.IMG from RUU.zip right?
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
I use Win 7 pro x64. no issues at all. Laptop only has usb 2 though.

Can't see ART being part of it as its dalvik by default.

Could it simply be a bad flash? (I don't want flaming for mentioning MD5 check lol)

I had an issue with mtp one of the times I flashed. I reflashed straight over it and bingo

Another very unlikely cause - software? Never had it happen on this phone but on my S4 with similar issue I disabled wifi on initial boot so it wouldn't start to update/install software. I then tried to copy and no problem.

I then downloaded software and lost the ability to xfer again. Had to go through all software 1 by 1 to find out what stopped it.

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

Either that or your original radio. Take a look in the radio thread. There are some updated radios in there
[One (M8) Android Development] gerrard_ss:
copy you gpe ruu. open and delete every files except radio.img and android-info file. flash via fastboot as same as you flash gpe ruu. if not work try to change radio.img inside zip file.
[One (M8) Android Development] Bliszcur:
no luck , imei and baseband still unknown
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Ok so what am I missing? I disable G+ and I have no gallery, yet I read a review that said it has the HTC gallery also. What am I doing wrong? The apk for the HTC gallery is in the ROM, just doesnt seem to do anything.
[One (M8) Android Development] gagdude:
GPe does not have HTC Gallery, only Photo Edit.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Yes, I did'nt choose the right words. Here is what I'm talking about:

"Take a photo and then tap the preview button in the upper right corner, then "Edit" from the menu, and you'll get the option to choose between HTC Photo Edit and Android's native Photos app. Pick the former and you get the UFocus, Dimension Plus, and Touch Up options, as well as HTC's frames, filters, and editing tools like crop."

This doesnt work for me, I can't access the HTC editing tools at all. If I disable G+, when I take a pic I cant preview it or swipe over to view it, which doesnt seem right. If the HTC tool is there, swiping over from the camera should take you into it.
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
If you disable G+ you disable the edit option. It took me ages to work out why I couldn't assign pics to contacts.

Take a looky here

http://www.androidcentral.com/stock-android-gallery-app-no-more-new-google-play-edition-devices

Also this has been covered and is off topic as the RUU is doing exactly what its supposed to.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
G+ and the HTC editing options are totally unrelated, and I cant access the HTC editing stuff. I wasn't blaming or saying there is a problem with the RUU, I'm asking what I'm doing wrong. I'm not disabling G+ then wondering why I don't have a gallery, I'm disabling it to see if I can access the HTC editing stuff, which IS in the RUU, and I can't. Thats all.
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
It is off topic so you should post a question in Q&A

From the article I linked to

The elimination of "Gallery" means the new Google Play edition devices will have to make do without the comprehensive photo editing features found in the app. "Photos" offers some editing options, such as filters and frames, but nothing as full-featured as its rival. We're willing to bet these capabilities — including exposure, contrast and curves sliders, among many others — will be patched into "Photos" at some point in the near future, completing the transition from Gallery to Photos.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
LOL, thank you. I read the article, which has absolutely nothing to do with the GPe M8. If you would have taken the time to read the article I posted you'd understand what I'm actually talking about.
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
GPE does not have gallery.

If I take a picture with G+ enabled, when I click preview I get only details in the settings menu - but on the top left I have the Google photo icon. If I click on this I get the basic edit options Auto/crop/rotate/styles/true image/selective.

The article I linked to is indicative of all GPE not just those phones mentioned so is completely relevant.

PLEASE start a thread in Q&A if this does not answer your question as this is clogging the thread.

Apologies to OP
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Seriously? I KNOW it doesn't have a gallery, that is NOT what I'm talking about. Thanks for your help, Much appreciated.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
My 2p...

I had the HTC option come up on a new photo I took but not on existing ones already in memory from my previous ROM. Can't remember if they came up through the camera app or not, though... This was when trying the GPe RUU the other day
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Thank you for addressing my questioning, and confirming that something I did messed up the HTC editing options.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
For anyone that remembers I had issues with MTP not working, I uninstalled HTC Sync Manager and all drivers, disconnected phone and reconected and it now seems to work. Don't know why but thought it might help others :)
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
I'm still having these problems... any more ideas?
[One (M8) Android Development] BlueCross:
How does this conversion method compare to the actual GPE phone?
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
If you run this RUU, you have a GPe M8. Software is the only difference.
[One (M8) Android Development] rrmzr1:
Welp gotta get back to stock recovery
[One (M8) Android Development] Psosmith82:
Did you grab the OTA to share for the people that don't get it right away?
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Nice haven't received my notice yet, by chance you can share carrier and location.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Just got the update.. give me a few minutes.. I'll pull the OTA update zip.. I'll also work on a new RUU
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
OTA ZIP: reuploading bad upload...
[One (M8) Android Development] noneabove:
I'm going to assume this can't be flashed over top your stock GPE ROM, so is there a chance you'll create one that can be used like that or would it be best to backup and start from fresh wipe?
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Would I be able to flash the zip over this and not lose my stuff.
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
what i would do is wait for him to release a 4.4.3 rom, not the ruu and dirty flash that over the converted 4.4.2. i did that on m7 gpe and was good
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Thanks that's exactly what I was wondering.
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
well I'm gonna try in few hours hopefully
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:

I want to try the GPE but dont want to be rooted because my bank apps wont work.

Is this possible with this method?
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Do I need to flash through the stock recovery?

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

Yeah they have a version that is official stock no root, but you will have to root and s-off in order to do the process.
[One (M8) Android Development] digitalhigh:
Graffix - any chance I can get a system dump from you? I'm trying to apply captured OTA to your stock on my M8VZW, but for some reason it doesn't like me.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION]

I think something is wrong with the.zip you posted.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
OP updated with 4.4.3 Stock non-rooted RUU.. Rooted/Busybox uploading now
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
No, nothing is wrong with it.. I applied it manually after posting and it updated fine. Maybe you grabbed the first one.. check the md5
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
think you can make the ROM also ? I wanna dirty flash that over my setup. please and thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
I'm getting system/lib/modules/adsprc.ko "has unexpected contents"

Edit: and I downloaded 3 times same thing
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
please don't ask.. There will be one.. when I have the time.. I have been very busy getting this ready.. For me to do the rom I have to do a lot to get the rom version.. I have to convert back to sense and do a bunch of stuff.. It probably wont happen until tomorrow..
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Odd.. I didn't get that and I applied the OTA update over a fresh flash of the 4.4.2 RUU.

OP updated with rooted version as well
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
Well this is exciting. Im fully converted to GPE. I'm on a custom GPE ROM. Can I just flash this and wait for the ROM and Elemental kernel to be updated to 4.4.3 ?
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
thanks for your efforts, i can wait
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Yeah weird because I did the ruu this afternoon before I was on just the rom version. Could the kernel I'm running conflict with it?

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

OTA was not working just flashed the RUU nothing I did'nt back up so why not everything great now.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
YES! It could.. Because some kernels use different libs and modules. you need to be fully stock
[One (M8) Android Development] snachez:
I had to manually apply different radio after flashing this 4.4.3 version to get any cell connection (1.16 Telstra radio in AUS) - Thanks OP for getting out a quick release, the 4.4.3 improvements are small and subtle but very welcome.
[One (M8) Android Development] DwadeCham:
So I'm slightly confused. I did the conversion using the rooted zip. My understanding from reading through all of the thread is I will get OTA updates. So are you guys just doing it manually to get the update faster? I did not install a custom recovery so I should be stock all around.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Yeah, either people don't want to wait or they are converting for the first time.

Tip on how I got the update to come quicker.. Go into settings, apps, all and force stop Google services framework and clear data and do the same for Google play services. If you keep stopping them and clearing the data, then checking for the update it will come.. That's how I forced mine to come.. It might take a few times.. A few reboots but you'll get it. I got it 3 times doing it. Lol
[One (M8) Android Development] DwadeCham:
Worked like a charm. Rebooting now. Thanks for all your work! Your instructions are great. I had little fastboot/adb experience before this and was able to do this based off this thread. Awesome man!

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

Weird. After rebooting from the OTA update my WiFi will not turn on. Any thoughts? I select it to on and it never locks in.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Ok read here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2771899&page=3

I guess this is why my update went without a hitch. It seems if your CID is not the GPE CID it will fail to flash the kernel on the OTA. Don't know why. Good to know someone figured it out though :) The GPE CID is GOOGL001
[One (M8) Android Development] metaphz:
If we are running a full GPE conversion plus custom ROM should we use that CID instead of SuperCID?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
if you want OTA's then yes, if you don't care about OTA's (you're running a custom rom so OTA would be a bad idea) then it doesn't matter.. Just if you ever restore to stock and want to take an OTA you have to change it.. Then you could always change it back to supercid if you want after an OTA
[One (M8) Android Development] Tikerz:
I can't get the update to show itself arghh

Edit: Omg, finally. I cleared data about 100 times and rebooted about 20 times LOL
[One (M8) Android Development] smader12:
I believe so, I had to flash using stock recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Quick question - if I have an unlocked boot loader + s-off but I have stock recovery and the Google CID, will I be OK with OTA?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Funny thing has happened - Google Now won't work after the OTA as it says Google Play Services isn't compatible with my device. Any suggestions?

OTA has otherwise flashed with no issues (using the right CID)

EDIT: Cleared cache and it now seems to work. Phew! :D
[One (M8) Android Development] cc999:

[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Apparently not so change it to GOOGL001
[One (M8) Android Development] benjo:
I fully converted using the rooted 4.4.2 RUU a while ago.

Will installing the OTA update lose root? Would it be better just to go through the conversion process again with 4.4.3?
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
You will probably loose root. It wouldn't be worth downloading the conversion again. Just make sure you have the stock recovery and then accept the OTA. After that flash root again after flashing a custom recovery. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] benjo:
Didn't think of that, much simpler!

Thanks :)
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] I haven't updated yet due to laptop issues. I am assuming flashing back to sense will be the same, have you tried it? (just so I can update the 'return to sense' thread before it gets flooded.)

If not, no worries, should have laptop back for weekend so can test.
[One (M8) Android Development] squabbi:
Yeah no worries! I'm glad I helped. :)

[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
Yup, your flashing back guide still works. I actually used your guide last night after I updated the RUU to release the ROM version that could be flashed on sense devices :)
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
I was able to get back to sense using [MENTION=3468692]grentuu[/MENTION] method, however I am not able to run the full Tmo RUU afterward like I was before. I get a Header error. With 4.4.2 I was able to flash the Tmo firmware, wipe data in stock recovery, then run Tmo RUU with no errors.
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
This doesn't seem to work for me. Could it be because I'm in Sweden? Will the OTAs come later to different countries?
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Did you change your CID? That may cause issues.
[One (M8) Android Development] Dabman:
Hei. I used stock non rooted via RUU flash and i can't find OTA update i'm on 4.4.2...

CID is GOOGL001 and MID 0P6B12000 ( oryginally was 0P6B10000 )

Any suggestion? Bootloader status LOCKED.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Super CID, never had an issue prior to taking 4.4.3. For good measure I'll change back to Tmo CID

I couldn't get the AT&T one to work after converting. I had flashed my Cid back to the AT&T one before I tried flashing the ruu. It kept telling me my battery was too low (under 30%) but it was over 50%
[One (M8) Android Development] BlueCross:
Radio is included in the RUU? I don't have to flash a TMobile radio for "better" reception, right?
