There is no "Official RUU" HTC/Google never released one, least to my knowledge. With that said, the GPe RUU here was originally created by pulling the partitions from a real GPe device. So it's about as "official" and "untouched" as we can get. I have the AT&T version, I'm converted and have yet to encounter any issues with OTA's. When we get an OTA I let the phone do it's thing then I pull the system.img and update that and the firmware files in the RUU.zip.

Thousands have used the RUU's and I don't think I've seen anyone mention that they have issues with OTA's not working. I've been converted since 5.0 and every update has gone without a hitch. So you should be golden once your s-off.

[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Yes, that RUU is Official - signed / encrypted by HTC
[One (M8) Android Development] NickPDX:
Is there a separate thread for the ROM vs RUU? I just flashed this ROM tonight 100% clean first ROM flash ever for my phone. Everything is working great other than the cellular data. I can't get it to work at all. I used the aroma installer and installed the ROM but didn't ski anything with the firmware or anything else, was I supposed to? Amy suggestions on getting data to work? I'm on T-Mobile US. Thanks!

I just solved this in APN settings. Under "APN Type" it has "default,supl,hipri" it should have "default,supl,fota,hipri". Once I added fota it instantly connected to LTE data and is working perfectly. Hope this helps others!

how this sunshine s-off works ? i just need to once turn s-off and that is all? i dont need this sanshune installed ?? or after i reflash ruu againg and againg turn and turn s-off?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
All you do is install the app, run it and it will tell you if it can do s-off. Then it will ask you to pay, then It will continue to do the s-off. Once it's done and your s-off you can uninstall the app. You will never need it again, your device will remain s-off through ota's, ruu's, no matter the amount of flashing you do, so there are no worries about losing s-off once it's obtained.
[One (M8) Android Development] xdaaccount123:
Hey guys

I've been using this rom fir a couple of days now (clean flashed it) but I'm having one major issue.

Titanium backup cannot write to my extra sd card despite installing the mod during the aroma installer. Any ideas how to fix this? I don't want to s off just for this
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
This is strange... Was it encrypted somehow beforehand? Like MMs internal storage option? No matter what I did if I kept my sd as mobile I could always write on it with titanium and other apps. Even if I wasn't rooted. Can you post a screenshot, I'm kinda lost on this, because I haven't encoutered stuff like this since kitkat.

Also you don't need to be S-Off for this.
[One (M8) Android Development] xdaaccount123:
It's an external SD card, not the internal one.

https://goo.gl/photos/NYhVYdFoafvYvbde7
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
I know it's an external card, but I thought you encrypted it in some way.

Hm, I only know that titanium can't write on the SD card itself, only into a folder on that card.

2. Have you tried moving the backups into another folder and then using that folder or just creating a new one?

3. Have you granted permisson for reading and writing to sd for all apps?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2572354

there is a thread for this but it's kinda outdated. Maybe it still works for you. Parinbbana's post helped lots of people with that problem.

If that doesn't help I have no clue, sorry.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Press the "Storage Provider" option at the top of that screen and choose "DocumentProvider storage" and then select the root of your SD card. TB should then be able to write to your card.

P.S. This isn't a ROM issue - this changed with Marshmallow.
[One (M8) Android Development] xdaaccount123:
Worked perfectly, thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] DROITURK182:
Is anyone having trouble with Bluetooth on this ROM? It seems with every security update the Bluetooth in my car seems to sound worse then before, especially phone calls. I've deleted my Bluetooth pairs from the car and paired it again with no change in sound and seems to want to lose connection a lot. Anybody,anybody[emoji31]

anyone having issues with google play music app laggy and slow?
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
Since the H12 update I am having real issues with battery life. Phone would normally last all day with medium use, now it gets to 5pm and the phone switched off.

Plus it gets to 15% and just shuts down, no warning, no battery saver indicator. Anyone else having these issues?
[One (M8) Android Development] shaunhoop1981:
I still have the shutdown at 15% as well and i have moved over to slimlp and the problem is still there
[One (M8) Android Development] otko1992:
i just turned s-off and i want to install gpe ruu h12 version i need to change cid or something else to get and install updates ? or i jsut only need to install ruu ? iahve m8 europe (gsm)
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
I don't even know what would cause this and while I've only had my battery that low a handful of times its never shut off on me.

See... thats just weird. Same issue on different ROMs. Not sure I can problem solve this one fellas.
[One (M8) Android Development] otko1992:
please enyone i flashed ruu wfrom sd card bootlaoder is onlocked an s is off but i think i stuck bootloop
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
You need to change your CID to GOOGL001

I thought my instructions in the OP were very thorough about the CID and MID and what will be accepted for updates.

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

Have you already done factory reset in the stock recovery? That is usually needed. Remember it will take like 10 minutes to finally boot.

if that doesn't work then try this... and do a reset in TWRP.

You can flash TWRP but since you did the RUU I bet you want to keep the stock recovery. Did you know you can boot TWRP without flashing it.

1. adb reboot bootloader "press enter" Wait till phone reboots into fastboot

*Alternatively, Power off device then Hold Power and Volume Down, select fastboot, plug phone into PC

2. fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img "press enter" Don't freak it will say "downloading 'boot.img'..." TWRP will start in a few seconds.

3. Do a factory reset
[One (M8) Android Development] otko1992:
thanks for responce i already done everythin.and it's working just fine thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] otko1992:
i have no issue on battery i discharge it on 1% and it was working with no issue until die :D using gpe ruu

when music is plaing internal, boomsound is working ?(how can i see notification or some info) or it is disabled ?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
The switch for boomsound is in settings>sound and notifications

There is no icon in status bar like in sense and the switch will be grayed out unless you have headphones plugged in.
[One (M8) Android Development] shaunhoop1981:
Anybody see any issues flashing h12 ruu over the top of slimlp that's cm12 based I think
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
Flashing the RUU would wipe your device completely and change partition, recovery etc. It would then be a stock gpe m8.

Is that really what you want?
[One (M8) Android Development] Conor_M8:
Can someone recommend the best kernel for battery life?
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
Well after two days of doing the HTC reset, for the first time in a long time the phone warned me at 15% and asked for battery saver. I turned battery saver on and it stayed on until I went to bed at which point it was at 3%. Charged it overnight and so far so good.

no update yet for me
[One (M8) Android Development] son_91:
no any update for me...
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
I haven't gotten it either. It usually takes a few days after people start getting the update before i would get it... don't worry because it rolls out in stages.
[One (M8) Android Development] shaunhoop1981:
OK so I done a full h12 ruu and now instead of shutting down at 15% now is powering off at 25% connect a power supply and it shows charging screen and 2% I have tried the HTC battery reset method but no luck
[One (M8) Android Development] m0nk89:
having the exact same issue with early battery shutoff at 15% for the last month. been on GPE roms since having the phone, not sure if its an issue with the rom. the 2 minute reset method didn't really help. maybe our battery is just starting to give out?
[One (M8) Android Development] marelis84:
Had this issue as well. Tried to calibrate battery, nothing helped. Changed battery. Now everything is ok
[One (M8) Android Development] shaunhoop1981:
Trust me the problem stays if you jump ROMs I went over to slimlp and it was the same done a full wipe and flashed ruu and still nothing will try the new battery I think
[One (M8) Android Development] Noonski:
Back again for my monthly Tnx for the effort.

Is HTC getting faster with implementing the monthlies, or was it a fluke...

[One (M8) Android Development] zaphody:
First thanks a lot for this outstanding and reliable :good: work!

Tried to update as the last times, but only H13 firmware updated, ROM always get parsing failure.

Checked md5, downloaded both from different sources, don´t know what is wrong.

H12 is still running fine, but the Upgrade insertion is disturbing!
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Which zip are you trying to flash... the Aroma installer build or the non Aroma build?

Could you provide me with a log from TWRP after trying to flash the zip? Its in the advanced options > copy log to sd card.
[One (M8) Android Development] zaphody:
The one with Aroma installer.
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Well... the log from TWRP will tell me why it failed, so if you can get me that it would help a lot.

Also, what device do you have, is it GSM or CDMA?

I double checked my uploads and the MD5's match, so my uploads are good.

My updater script hasn't changed so can't see that being the issue if previous version worked fine for you.

The parsing error... could it be getting corrupt copying it to the sd card... guess I've never seen this particular error most time its Error 6 or 7
[One (M8) Android Development] zaphody:
:mad: I always tried the way with adb/fastboot - still parsing failure.

Method one to place the zip on the external sd and flashing with twrp worked now at first attempt.

So the problem is solved - thanks!

I have a GSM device
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Alright... yeah only the RUU and Firmware can be flashed via fastboot, the other ROMs are flashable with TWRP or another custom recovery. Glad its resolved now
[One (M8) Android Development] TheRebel:
Hello,

I have flashed this ROM yesterday, and so far it is working quite good. But my question is about Audio quality of this ROM. Is the audio in this ROM lower than stock sense rom? What I've observed (may be some placebo), that audio is not loud as it was in stock sense rom.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nx Biotic:
Audio will have a different quality
[One (M8) Android Development] fversteegen:
This is still my ROM of choice thanks to the great and quick support of Graffixnyc and Enewman17!
[One (M8) Android Development] Janity:
Why is that? I'm on GPE, too, and I was asking myself the very same question. Music just did sound somewhat more muffled than on Sense Roms. Though this one has got boomsound, too?!
[One (M8) Android Development] Nx Biotic:
Im pretty sure beats was removed in gpe and we have a stock audio driver in the ruu. Reason base may sound muffled but music may be louder.
[One (M8) Android Development] omer7:
R u using stock GPE kernel or some custom kernel?
[One (M8) Android Development] Janity:
Stock.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

But there still is the boomsound Option in Sounds. Or does this only work equal to an equalizer?
[One (M8) Android Development] omer7:
Yeah there's an option of boomsound and it works also when handsfree are connected. You can check the difference in sound by disabling/enabling it using handsfree.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

And one more question, did ur ROM lagged a bit in the beginning when you just flashed it? I have flashed this rom couple of days back and see some (not everytime) lags and stuttering while shifting b/w apps?

Is this normal? I m also using the stock Google kernel with SuperSU flashed.
[One (M8) Android Development] Zile995:
Do you have scrolling lag compared to Sense roms?
[One (M8) Android Development] omer7:
Not really scrolling lags I have faced yet. But while switching b/w apps, at times i do get some stuttering and feel the phone is a bit slower than it was on sense rom. And even i believe scrolling was more smooth in sense rom. But may be i have just flashed it 2 days back, i need to give it some time to settle.
[One (M8) Android Development] Zile995:
Switching b/w apps is better on GPE for me, but scrolling is not smooth.
[One (M8) Android Development] omer7:
Is ur phone rooted? And which kernel u using?
[One (M8) Android Development] Zile995:
Rooted and stock kernel.
[One (M8) Android Development] omer7:
Same here. I rooted using SuperSU and using stock kernel.

Anyway i ll keep using it for next few days or may be weeks, if things dont get very well (tho even now not facing any big issue), i might try some custom kernel like elementalX.
[One (M8) Android Development] FIFATG:
I'm using the rooted ROM with ElementalX kernel. Smoothest ROM ever all around.
[One (M8) Android Development] abhi63:
Hi,

Just converted from sense to the latest GPE. Quick question. The internal storage on a fresh install is showing up as 1.15 gb used 12.03 gb. Is that normal? Pretty sure there was almost 20gb showing while I had sense

Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
Your system partition is smaller than on sense. On goes it's 1 gig something and on sense 2.62 gig or something like that.
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Did you do a full conversion? Change MID and CID and then run the RUU? I'm showing more space than what you have on fully converted.
[One (M8) Android Development] abhi63:
Yes. Got s-off via sunshine yesterday. Then changed CID to GOOGL001. MID was already 0PB10000 so left it at that. Then ran the latest RUU (May 12th). Then ran the latest firmware (May 13th). I'm wondering if the firmware was unnecessary. It had already booted up fine. Just wasn't sure of the latest firmware was on the RUU. You can see my screenshot attached.

Seem to remember a similar issue in the past with internal storage not appearing correctly with sense. Reporting as 8gb rather than 32gb. Can't remember the fix though. Definitely a hard reset required though I guess. Maybe that was on my m7 though.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Hmm..OK. I'm not sure then. When I converted everything, I also wiped the hell out of my phone before running the RUU.
[One (M8) Android Development] abhi63:
Ran just the RUU again. And then did a factory reset. Same result. 12.03gb free space
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
Are you sure that you have the 32 gig version? On 16 gig that is normal, at least for the european unlocked version. on sense it's even smaller. I too, only have 12.03 gig storage available.

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/10gb-internal-storage-available-t2967746

I know the post says 4.4.4 but I can't imagine that there'd be more storage on LP or MM.
[One (M8) Android Development] abhi63:
Whoops. You're right. Just checked my order purchase and it says 16gb. Thought it was 32gb for some reason

Thanks. Problem solved.
[One (M8) Android Development] ashypanda:
thanks for this ROM as it's pretty nifty, to have stock android without the grief of CM's issues, and it's nice that android pay still works on the unrooted version, just wish HTC would have updated it to 6.0.1 by now, but it's nice and runs better than sense.
[One (M8) Android Development] M.Ned:
Great ROM, runs smoother than Sense.

I am curious about the battery life, we'll see.

Btw, Boomsound can't be turned off when using headphones.

Wish HTC will fix it sometime soon, it really is a bad feature.
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
Yes it can be turned off. Even on stock. And it makes a difference too. Over BT it's not available anyway. Battery life is okay for me on half brightness and mixed use. Wasn't better on sense. I debloated, use greenify and undervolted, underclocked, everything. Time for a new phone but have to wait for the announcement of the new nexus phones. If they suck I'll get a nexus 6p or a moto x play because it's batterylife is awesome. the 6p is awesome all around. Hate the 2k screen because it just sips battery. Nobody needs that resolution on a phone screen. Sorry about the rant.
[One (M8) Android Development] M.Ned:
It didn't make any difference when I turned off, you can tell the Boomsound is open by the sound quality.

It only turns off visually, not really.
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
I don't know what kind of headphones you use, but it definetly makes a difference for me. If it's off, it sounds a bit "muffled". I use Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 32 ohm.

If you don't like boomsound flash another soundmod....
[One (M8) Android Development] M.Ned:
Tried with Sennheiser Cx400 II, Cx300 II, Black HTC in-ear headphones and Zenfone 5 in-ear headphones.

No difference at all, I use the flashable version, maybe that's the reason.
[One (M8) Android Development] omer7:
Hello everyone,

I am using stock GPE ROM with stock kernel, and the issue is, my phone's notification light keeps blinking even if i remove all notifications, and phone's screen is on. Right now i have two notifications in status bar, which remain there, one is "internet speed meter" , and second is "gsam battery monitor". And even after I remove all other notifications, and phone's display is on, the notification light keeps blinking (in green). Is this some known issue? Anyone else facing the same?
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
I installed them both just to test it and just like in your case these two notifications stay in the notification bar. which they supposed to. In GSM battery monitor you can deactivate the notification symbol in the settings. Same with internet speed meter, but in that app turning the notification symbol off is a feature of the paid version. And no blinking notification light when using both apps.
[One (M8) Android Development] alpineone:
i use flashable too and there's a lot of difference when switching on/off. Tested on AKG Y16A
[One (M8) Android Development] omer7:
Thank you for testing these apps and notification light. And yeah both these apps stay in the notification bar, and i want them to stay there, and have been using them since long on many roms and with same settings. But never faced this issue of notification light keeps blinking (even when the screen is on) and even after clearing all (other) notifications. It happened twice today. First time when it happened in the morning, i rebooted my phone and issue resolved. And then it again happened in evening. I rebooted again and so far haven't faced this issue again. Hope it doesn't happen again. Coz notification light blinking is very important and useful when there are unread notifications.
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Did you by chance have the phone charging? I've had the notification light continue to blink when I cleared the notification then unplugged it... then if I plug it back in for a second it works again. Not really the same scenario but that's the only time I've encountered a weird bug with the notification light.
[One (M8) Android Development] omer7:
Yes, it was plugged in in the morning, but i dont remember whether i cleared all the notifications and then unplugged it (coz i was leaving for office, unplugged my phone and left for office). But in the afternoon/evening, it happened again (as i mentioned in detail in my last post), and i didnt connect my phone to charging after morning till the notification bug happened (second time in the evening).

But anyway, now so far it is working fine (after rebooting it for the second time), and hope it keeps working fine.
[One (M8) Android Development] jxcorex28:
It's not just you though. I noticed the problem earlier on my phone. I'm not sure what's going on because I use to plug in the charger,and the charging notification light automatically came on. Are you running a cm ROM,and what firmware are you on enew? I believe I'm on sense partition, but I'm about to change it back to GPE fw.
[One (M8) Android Development] M.Ned:
I read all the OP and I think I have found the answer but I need to verify it.

If ı change my CID to GOOGL001 but not my MID(Which is OP6B10000) will I be able to use official RUU from the thread?
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Indeed! Plus you shouldn't have any issues with ota updates
[One (M8) Android Development] M.Ned:
So, Google and HTC are only looking for CIDs, not MIDs on updates; that's great, thanks :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Well... they check the MID too, they just accept all the GSM device MIDs in the updater script.
[One (M8) Android Development] Janity:
Hey, is there any way to change Homescreen Grid size without XPosed? I read that Motorola e.g. does include an App in the system Partition that changes Stock gridsize. Does htc have anything like this in gpe or is the screen size just too small to start with?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
The Homescreen grid size is determined by the Launcher you use. Install a launcher that has a different grid size option and make it your default. GPE is loaded with the Google Now Launcher by default.

I m using GPE stock rom with stock kernel (not rooted). Why "google play services" keeping my device awake for a long time even when i only kept GPS on for a short period of time. It also shows there on top of the list in battery usage (in settings).
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Dude... Google play services has a tendency to just run away with its services. Doesn't matter with the device or rom. Sometimes rebooting will help but Google play services will most likely be one of the biggest offenders for battery drain and general lag especially with other Google apps.
