Just wanted to tell everyone that I was able to flash this the first day after rooting/unlocking.

Beautifully pure, vanilla stock android. Great battery life, very smooth and responsive,
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
About 3 minutes in total to transfer and flash. Certainly not half an hour.
[One (M8) Android Development] nocoast:
So I receive calls/texts fine but the settings will NOT show my phone # for the life of me..get service fine and can send/receive texts just fine...factory reset and even reran the ruu to double check but no luck...its mostly mental but a few apps require on knowing the # so I'd like to fix this...coming from a Tmo variant.
[One (M8) Android Development] grentuu:
This should have gone in Questions/Answers - Off Topic.

This is normal. None of my androids have ever shown the number.. If you had checked out of the box it would have been the same.

This issue is caused as the sims currently have the imei and the phone number linked by the carrier. But the number isn't written to the sim card - hence why it shows unknown. (with most carriers - some might but the majority don't)

There are a number of fixes out there - some roms even have it built in. Just do some searching.

But rest assured - there's nothing wrong with your phone.
[One (M8) Android Development] PunchLick:
A couple questions.. is this actual pure vanilla kit Kat. Or is it htc's ROM without sense to look like pure stock android.

Also, how do I turn off fast boot. I do not see it when i go to battery under settings.

Again, sorry for the noob questions and any help is much appreciated.
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
this is htcs "pure" and no fastboot
[One (M8) Android Development] PunchLick:
Do you mean fastboot is always enabled and no way to disable?
[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
ive never seen any option.
[One (M8) Android Development] PunchLick:
One last noob question, would thoroughly appreciate any help!

Is it possible to get into recovery, stock or twrp after converting to GPE.

Everytime I try to install TWRP or have anything to do with recovery it usually will freeze with a red triangle inside of a robot, or just freeze with black screen and reboot the phone.

Any help is very much appreciated and sorry if the question seems dumb, this is my first android phone device. So far I love the rom and the phone itself, I just would like to know if this is a problem and how to fix it.

Thank you so much to anyone who can help. :good:

[One (M8) Android Development] SB13X:
Having trouble with the guide to go back to Sense, followed them by the book but when returning to TWRP to do a full wipe I get the error "Cannot Mount Cache" tried fastboot format cache and still no luck, so reflashed GPE and restored my backup. Any advice welcome on getting back to Sense.

Is there no RUU.zip like this one for Sense available yet? I have had a good look but in case I missed it.
[One (M8) Android Development] kirdroid:
Never mind...everthing fine now :)
[One (M8) Android Development] PunchLick:
Literally same problem. Any help is very much appreciated. I posted about this a few posts up.

I kept holding power button and it eventually resboots, but not having recovery options at all sucks.
[One (M8) Android Development] kirdroid:
You need to flash the stock recovery. In the first post there is a link to the stock recovery thread. I flashed that but didn't check after that if I had stock recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] M.Ned:
Does anybody else have problems with tethering? It automatically closes itself and then opens again when I open it.
[One (M8) Android Development] cyanogendroid:
Hey guys, long time android and HTC user, running full gpe conversion (H13). It seems that the phone has been running pretty hot recently and having generally terrible battery life. The phone is going on 2 years in use, do you think it's a software issue or hardware issue? Battery use per process is in check, so it's not a wake lock or runaway process, or at least I don't think so. Any advice? Have a battery in the mail also. Practiced replacing it on my brothers bricked M8 and it's not that bad to do.
[One (M8) Android Development] Balajumb:
Try running a custom kernel like elementalx 6.03 and modify the clocking and thermals and check for any benefits
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
It's always been hot. Battery life kinda got really bad. I managed to replace the battery and everything worked fine afterwards. I think I got lucky there. Anyway, battery life was fine then deteriorated quickly and then the phone fried itself. Good luck.
[One (M8) Android Development] cyanogendroid:
It seems like these phones really do not like being serviced in terms of having parts replaced. Both my brother and I have replaced our USB/AUX ports, and while mine made it out OK, his fried a mere couple of minutes after working fine after replacing the board. Mine is still working fine. No abnormal USB behavior. However, the phone today just decided to shut off on its own in my pocket, which is strange being that it is on a stock rom configuration. Turned it back on, zero digitizer touch response. Worked fine after a hard reboot. This prompted me to order a oneplus one this morning to hold me over for a month while on vacation until I can find something else to get, or maybe just stick with the 1+. Thanks for the feedback guys.
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
I got the nexus 5x. I like it so far, but the jump in performance is a little too small for my taste. I mean I was fine with my m8. It wasn't slow by any means and I would have lived with it alot longer if the battery didin't suck so bad. But the fingerprint scanner on the 5x is awesome. it's one of those things you say you don't need and you don't, but once you get used to it, you don't want to go back :D It's like when I put an SSD in my old ass laptop. Yeah, I thought about sending the 5x back and getting the 1+3. Sounds like a steal with those specs. And I don't give a rats ass about 2k displays. Sure it looks nice and all. But if the battery life is worse than on my 1080p phone then I don't want that 2k display. I do miss the SD card slot, though. I kinda hoard music :p
[One (M8) Android Development] cyanogendroid:
I actually got the good 'ol original OnePlus One. Off eBay of course. I want the HTC 10 but I'll wait for the price to come down.
[One (M8) Android Development] xbiggyl:
I've had my phone ever since it was released and on the day I got I got S-OFF and flashed a custom (almost stock) Sense ROM. I've never complained of performance or battery life. The developer of the ROM I was using is no longer maintaining it. I tried other sense based ROMs but none satisfied me in terms of stability and performance.

I decided to switch to GPE and this ROM seemed a good choice (the first post is really professional and had all I needed!).

I was blown away by the performance increase. I had never experienced this responsiveness on my m8 before. It was and still is the fasted ROM I've flashed on my device.

However, as you said, unlike the performance edge, I am not getting a good battery life at all and my phone is getting really hot almost all the time. I tried to keep the screen brightness at the lowest possible the improvement was negligible.

After a couple weeks and a couple fresh installs I flashed ElementalX kernel but none of these two things improved. And for the past couple days, when my phone is at about 15% the batter gets sucked up really fast.

One more thing I have been experiencing is the resetting of a lot of main settings on the device (google now settings; clock settings; Launcher settings.

I am not sure whether this is related to my phone or it could be a couple issues with the latest version of the ROM (H13).

This is by far the best m8 ROM on this forum, and if these issues are solved, I wouldn't need an upgrade any time soon.
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
The heat issue, I think mine seems normal, gets a bit warm with heavy data use and only gets really "hot" when playing games. I do agree the battery life could be better but I haven't noticed any decrease with the latest version, it seems fine to me but I can see how heavy users would struggle to make it a day without charging. I've never had an issue with the phone dying or discharging faster at 15% but then I never let my phone get that low. One thing is that I've taken OTA's. If you have time and want to experiment, roll back to H10 or H11 and take the OTA's and see if that makes any difference. Far as losing settings, after I do all my restoring to do the OTA, pull my system and build everything... I end up flashing twrp and flashing the ROM to test it, I do systemless root and flash xposed and I've never had any issues with losing any settings even after all the b.s I do with backups and whatnot. I'm not sure what I can do to fix these issues, and it doesn't look like were getting any further security updates.
[One (M8) Android Development] alex2693836:
What about june security update patch ?
[One (M8) Android Development] SergioRmz:
It should have been released already, I'm afraid there won't be more security updates for HTC One M8... nor updates in general.
[One (M8) Android Development] Noonski:
Yup they is late. And I'm thinking the same....

If Production end of line was set in January 8, 2015 + 1.5 years it might be indeed so.

But I got mine new a long time after that.

Been very happy on GPE, I got over not having a few CM tweaks. But also got tired of little issues always being around in CM. GPE has given me stable performance with only a few random reboots.
[One (M8) Android Development] Xhemal1325:
what camera app do you guys use in this room ? :)
[One (M8) Android Development] lisaamybeth:
Until last weekend I was still on H9 and happily using the HTC sense camera as I really liked the slow Mo feature. Now I've finally made the move to H13 I can't get it working again as yet so still stuck with Google camera ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Xhemal1325:
that google stock camera which comes with room , is really bad :( , htc newest sense camera is good , but the makeup mode in front camera uis always on , cant swich it :/
[One (M8) Android Development] lisaamybeth:
Agreed. Tried the HTC 10 camera but the slow Mo I wanted is still missing. My own quest for a decent replacement continues..
[One (M8) Android Development] tarund:
Uh, Slow Motion is not missing on the HTC 10.
[One (M8) Android Development] lisaamybeth:
Where is it ? I've downloaded and installed it again but do not see the option. The version I'm using is 8.10.763406
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
Uh, we're talking about Slow Motion using HTC 10 Camera on M8 not about HTC 10 Camera on HTC 10

He's talking about the feature is available on HTC 10 ...

On M8 - using HTC 10 Camera app, the feature won't be available without some modding.
[One (M8) Android Development] lisaamybeth:
Thank you for clarifying

[One (M8) Android Development] scifan:

[One (M8) Android Development] Sunspark:
I think the security-only updates will continue until 2017. The M8 was removed from the Play Store in January 2015. Google's policy for security updates for Nexus devices is currently 18 months from date of last device sold.

The language on https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4457705?hl=en#nexus_devices says "system updates" when referring to GPE devices. For that, we are finished. But a security update is not the same as a system update, and I have a suspicion that security updates for GPE will be the same as the Nexus. But this is only speculation on my part.
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
Not to be a ****, but we didn't even get 6.0.1 which was a minor "update" in itself. I doubt it will be maintained because the device itself is at its EOL. I think there's only the july security update left and that's it.
[One (M8) Android Development] gads1:
I'm surprised to see that HTC hasn't released GPE edition of M9, M10, or A9. If a release existed for newer platform, someone would do a port to M8. I see M10 port for M8 but this includes sense (cough...cough...ack!!).
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
As much as I would want to see the m10 with stock android and otas from google, the gpes didn't pay off. The project was cancelled. As for sense I hate it myself. The m8 gpe was in my view the better nexus 5 and it had an sd card slot.
[One (M8) Android Development] Zyxxx:
Hello,

I'm new with htc one m8 stock and got my first update (june update)

I wanted to update, but went to the recovery tool.

Could someone explain how i can update?

My device is S-on

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
Since your s-on you used the flashable rom...? so just flash the updated h14 rom in the 1st post
[One (M8) Android Development] i'mrunningoutofusernames:
are the boot.img and systemless root necessary if I flash a radio compatible kernel like elementalx afterwards and need root? I will delete the boot.img from the zip and use traditional root from the aroma if they aren't required. Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
If your using a kernel that already has the edits then you'll be fine doing what your wanting to do.

Update failing

I am trying to load 6.0_MRA58K.H14. MD5 is fine but getting:

Just send enewman some support. He keeps these old phones rocking. I use the M8 as a backup to the Nexus 6p and stuff a SIM in it when I am overseas. Keep up the good work. The Aroma was the way to go.

Is it just me that gets these stupid fingerprint errors?

"This device has htc/m8_google/htc_m8:6.0/MRA58K.H12/66673:user/release-keys"

Haven't flashed anything or touched /system since last OTA. No xposed, and stock recovery :\

Tried removing updater-script and making a new archive with modified checks, but now recovery is *****ING that the zip is unsigned, I thought this was not an issue for S-OFF phones

* Even flashing the firmware appears to have not updated anything, even though it returned success, about screen still shows build H13, and still says May 1, 2016 @ android security patch level.

Downloading the flashable zip now I guess, unbelievable @ how ugly this process is. This must be the "bollocks" iphone users refer to, the one we pretend doesn't exist.
[One (M8) Android Development] necktru:
Battery consumption is better in gpe that sense? I'm only on sense roms, s-off and twrp.

There is any advantage to use gpe firmware or partitions instead of sense?
[One (M8) Android Development] thodibhen:
Personal preference I guess, some people prefer a vanilla android experience. To be honest, Sense really isn't that terrible, definitely nowhere NEAR as terrible as Crapsung touchwiz; Sense is the only stock fw that I actually used instead of wiping on day 1.

Hooray I just installed a security patch that should've taken 5mins, in an hour :highfive:

Every now and then Android likes to remind you its Linux underneath--considerable time wasted @ trying to get things going.

Thanks for the huge array of files on AFH, I couldn't have done it without.
[One (M8) Android Development] necktru:
One question. GPE or CM based rom?

I'm asking your personal choice.
[One (M8) Android Development] andywkf:
Can i install htc camera? Where can i install it?
[One (M8) Android Development] thodibhen:
I would go with the GPE, simply because the rom has the proper drivers baked into it by HTC—someone feel free to correct this if wrong. Anyway, before the M8, I had a Galaxy S4, just because it had a GPE that I could convert to.

CM is great too though, definitely nothing wrong with CM, I just couldn't tolerate the common camera and occasional bluetooth issues any longer; with GPE I have no issues, it's as good as the camera will ever be in AOSP flavor, second only to Sense.

I ran CM for years, had it on most of my devices since CM7, but have not switched back since I started using GPE.

I think if you have Xposed enabled, you can get most of the features of CM anyway (Gravitybox, etc.)
[One (M8) Android Development] jetext:
Can i use it on HTC one m8 dual sim?
[One (M8) Android Development] Doc Moody:
Q. Is this compatible with my device?

A. The ROM and RUU are only compatible with GSM devices. If you got your phone through Verizon or Sprint then No you can't use this. Dual SIM M8's are also not compatible.

as stated in the op.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ben Abel:
Have you tested this? I'm not receiving all of my calls, after recently reverting back to AT&T Sense, and subsequently re-converting back to GPe (keeping Sense firmware). I'm reading through the thread you mentioned, and found a response from [MENTION=1102297]Sneakyghost[/MENTION] that is making me uneasy. I want to get this done right, once and for all. Starting all over with latest GPe firmware should fix the issue for me, correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Yeah maybe it shouldn't make you uneasy. I'm not really into the M8 anymore and never was into the GPE editions.

What exactly made you uneasy?
[One (M8) Android Development] Ben Abel:
Well, your post in the other thread made it sound like flashing the radio.img (like [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION] was suggesting) wasn't going to fix my problem. But if flashing the full on GPe firmware with HBOOT does the trick, I shouldn't be worried.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
Honestly, consider myself bad advice. I was too quick to answer. I have no idea.

Just try. Flashing a radio separately doesn't usually brick your phone. Worst case: no signal. That can be reverted.
[One (M8) Android Development] enewman17:
I haven't tested this... I'm gpe converted and don't plan on going back to sense so I've yet to encounter issues with calls on LTE with AT&T, and with the issues now I'm reluctant to try the AT&T update. If flashing gpe firmware doesn't fix the issue, btw gpe firmware collection isn't as complete as the sense RUUs so having some lingering partitions from the att update could also have an effect, there also might be something on the carrier's end like a flag for VoLTE. Maybe calling or going to a store could help.

I personally would and have had converted my m8 to the DevEdition using RUU.exe from HTC, let it boot and see if calls start working, give it an hour before you give up. Converting to the DevEdition should give you a clean AT&T free platform for starting over. So if in a hour or two things still aren't right I'd leave it with the DevEdition rom and go to the store and see about a new sim card or see if customer service can do some kind of reset on there end. You should be able to switch phones that don't support VoLTE without having to worry about a VoLTE setting on there end and I would think converting to DevEdition or International would have the same effect unless the flag for VoLTE is now tied to the M8's IMEI number after the update... then this would have to be reset on their end I just simply don't know. Hope this all makes sense and I hope you get your issue solved.
[One (M8) Android Development] xaoup:
Hi guys,

I create a backup of this, and tried to restore another backup.

I got an error saying "can't system restore - mounted system only"

Tried another nandroid still the same error, so I flashed this again.

After that, I boot to recovery to try and restore my old backup of this Rom and still giving me the same error.

How do I rectify this? Thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Android Development] Steve2016:
When you use TWRP 3.x.x.x then yo uhave to disable System Write Protection in Settings
[One (M8) Android Development] Ben Abel:
Alright, I'm following. I'm backing up my phone now to give the DevEdition RUU a try (I'm skipping trying the radio.img alone). I'm wondering if the Sense Firmware (and whatever could have been left after flashing the incomplete GPe firmware) caused the issues I experienced during my multiple test drives of CyanogenMod 13 nightlies. I'll see if the DevEdition fixes my call receiving issues, and if so, I'll probably move straight to CM13 to see if my issues with it are fixed. Thanks for all the advice :)

Update: The latest Developer Edition RUU from HTC errored out on me, giving me a 155 message IIRC. I had this issaue a month or so ago while trying to revert to sense, and I had to run the original KitKat RUU to get back to Sense. It was a pain, and I'd like to avoid it. Any suggestions on how to get this Dev Edition RUU working for me?
