I tried the conversion to stock GPE and Iv didn't get any network signal on my phone though wifi is working. I have unknown baseband and IMEI when i convert.. 0P6B63000 i think is my Model ID if im not mistaken. Hongkong version. Thank you so much guys :_)

ATT MID, changed CID, all stock fresh install, GPE 4.4.2, S-Off, took OTA bricked phone, stuck at HTC screen with a little lock that looks unlocked. Figured it was bootloader. Relocked, same result. Only way to get back is change FW, and sideload. Very strange. Never seen a HTC act this way.
[One (M8) Android Development] ratatella:
Ok so just a little bit confused about the different stock gpe recovery's.

In the OP this thread points out to this link for the stock gpe recovery and is found there on top of that threat. It's about 24MB and seems to be the stock recovery from 4.4.2 as the recovery from the 4.4.2 RUU has the same file size.

Now when I check out the file size of the stock gpe recovery from the Current firmware (m8_google): Android 4.4.3/KTU84L found here (recovery in the firmware.zip of the OTA) or just the recovery in the 4.4.3 RUU, the file size is only about 11.5MB (less then half of the 4.4.2 recovery).

So, the OP updated to flashing 4.4.3 but still points out to the "old" (25MB 4.4.2) gpe recovery.

If I flash a custom recovery and want to revert back to the stock gpe recovery, which one should I use?

The 25MB recovery this thread is point to or the smaller 11.5MB recovery found in the firmware.zip of the original 4.4.3 OTA?

Or is there a way to pull my current recovery so I can compare which one I have at the moment?

(Flashed GPE 4.4.2 RUU and from there got the 4.4.3 OTA).
[One (M8) Android Development] cc999:
good question

Great question, anyone?

[One (M8) Android Development] rbouza1:
use whatever corresponds to your firmware. if you used 4.4.2 ruu then flash the ota recovery. if you did 4.4.3 ruu use that recovery
[One (M8) Android Development] ratatella:
Thanks for advising, that's what I've done now.

Let's wait for the next OTA and see ;)

how long does it take? I flashed the second time, pending on

about 5 minutes and still not pop up next line.

is it normal?

[One (M8) Android Development] ammurad:
Usually takes about 5 minutes to flash. Did you do fastboot OEM rebootRUU? Before flashing?
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Must've done, it wouldn't say what it said about flushing if not...

[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
I still have problems with LTE on my M8... it seems to be random if it works good or not when I reboot. If it works good, everything is fine until I reboot again (airplane mode equals reboot in this case). If it's not good it will stay this way until I reboot again...

When I'm having these problems the phone keeps dropping the signal completely when I have LTE activated. Sometimes ever hour, sometimes every 10 minutes. Very annoying... :(

Are there any solutions to this? Anyone having the same problems as I have?
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Only issue I have is when I turn off WiFi it stays on, therefore draining battery. Reboot and it stays off

Other than that I've had no issues

Click "File" and then "download"!

Can't wait for a system image bro. I can't get it to flash on my VZW M8, even though I modded your updater script for stock ROM and flashed that first. If possible, think you could throw up a system dump after you flash it??

[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Hi - I have installed the RUU about 3 weeks ago and it has been working perfectly. However, today suddenly I get no network coverage and Emergency call only".

I wonder if it has anything to do with the phone or my sim card (I am in the UK on the O2 network)

*Update* Its definitely not my sim card as it works in other phones. I did a factory reset and installed the OTA update, still no luck.

Did anyone experience anything similar?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Just saw this man sorry. Yea it took me a sec to figure it out too lol.
[One (M8) Android Development] kennypow3rs:
Dumb question and I'm certain I know the answer to this but I must ask anyways. Ive been on this conversion for a good while (thanks graffixx) but I want to flash the 4.4.4 OTA. As the first post states, you have to change your cid to GOOGL001 (currently super cid) before flashing or accepting the OTA. One I get the OTA on here will I lose root? Suggestions for keeping root?
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
If you take the ota you will lose root just get back on twrp after and boot into recovery before it reboots it will ask to install root.
[One (M8) Android Development] kennypow3rs:
Thanks man! Good to go...
[One (M8) Android Development] crisro996:
I tried changing the cid to GOOGL001, but I always get this error "Input CID is not super CID". Current cid is 11111111
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
It will do, it's just telling you that you're not changing the CID to Super CID. Just reboot the bootloader and check on the screen and it'll show the new CID
[One (M8) Android Development] crisro996:
Ow, you're right. It did work :D Thanks a lot!

I have tried everything, even got a new sim card. Could someone please let me know what the problem might be?
[One (M8) Android Development] EternalAndroid:
I'm having the same exact same issue on Metro PCS except my signal bars come back but not the actual data connection. I really don't want to go back to sense, someone please help. At your earliest possible convenience.
[One (M8) Android Development] GriffenD:
Maybe an APN issue? Or did you perhaps cut down an old Sim to fit into the M8? Sometimes its just improperly cut and the contacts in it are damaged. Try getting a new one and go from there.
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
I have tried everything, APN, OTA updates, factory format.

I have changed my card and tried a different one, doesn't work... I guess I have to go back to a Nexus 5 which is a big downgrade from this...
[One (M8) Android Development] GriffenD:
Well that's no fun. I'm on T-Mobile and haven't had any issues. Perhaps its just defective and can get it replaced. Hope the problem gets solved.
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Unfortunately I can't get it replaced since the Google Play editions don't even exist in the UK.
[One (M8) Android Development] GriffenD:
You can convert it back to a sense version using the link after the OP. If it was imported that may be the issue. If I remember correctly I read it has to do with tuning the radios to your region (Europe, America, Asia, etc...) And if that's the case I'm not entirely sure what to do about that. Sorry I couldn't be of further help :/
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Ok cool, didn't know there was a stock conversion available, thought it was a modified ROM - will check it out.

The weird thing is that it worked perfectly fine until yesterday. Anyways, thanks for the help.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
If you have a real GPe and its not supported in your region I'd flash a radio that is from your region. Doesn't sound like that is your issue but it wouldn't hurt. So you were running this with no issues for a period of time, then lost service out of the blue and a new SIM didn't help?

I know you said you messed with the APN but I'd almost put money on that being the issue. Try this; Flash CM and skip through setup. Go into network settings and check the APN. You'll probably have to select your APN. Do that and see if you get service. I bet you will. Make a note of the settings then go back into your GPe and see if you can get it working. I had a similar issue on my T-Mo M8 and it took me a bit to figure out that the M8 uses a different APN then any other T-Mo phone I've used.
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Thanks for suggestion, that's what I am doing now - going to flash a Sense ROM to see if I have any luck with that. However, I did try all APN settings and nothing works.

Its so strange that it just stopped working out of the blue. What is more annoying is that I do not know if its a faulty phone or the RUU somehow managed to brick it. If I was 100% sure that it was faulty I would definitely buy a new one and do this again...
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
if you have a GPe you can't flash a sense rom. You'll have to change your cid then flash firmware package from your region, then RUU. PIA. Also, sense has different fields than GPe/AOSP APN. You wont be able to see what is different. Just flash CM.
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Ah ok, got you, will try flashing CM and see how that goes.

Thanks!
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Just tried flashing CM and still no luck - cant get network coverage. Considering there is no one else here with the same problem I assume its a hardware defect (even though I do not know why it just stopped working randomly). The only thing I can think of is that I had to cut my sim card to the nano size and it didn't fit perfectly well, maybe that damaged the connectors over time and it eventually stopped working.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
ohhh yea, that is probably it. I bet HTC will fix it though. Yu should contact them. And I would suggest getting the correct sim for the device lol. cant tekk you how many times ive seen people jack their phone up trying to do things like that
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Do you think the phone can still recognize a sim card even if the sim card reader is faulty?
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
I think you should get the nano sim and try that. you probably bent the connectors or something. the right sim may still make contact with them tho
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Already tried :) still no luck. Will take it to a shop to see if they can do something. Too bad I cant get it back to original factory state.

Thanks for the help!
[One (M8) Android Development] kennypow3rs:

I thought this was relevant to anyone else who might have experienced the same issue when flashing this RUU. In any case already found help.

[One (M8) Android Development] bong0x00:
I lost signal bars too

From what I have read, GPE is for US only. I think that is why I don't have signal also. I came from Asia and I'm using the radio for our Region.

All of successful users of the conversion are based on US?
[One (M8) Android Development] MATRIKS:
Not true i'm from europe and it's working perfect
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Where is the GPe support thread? Cus I haven't seen one. I see random issue threads but not a dedicated thread. I never understand why it's an issue posting in the thread where you got the ROM or whatever. Like hey, we only want you to talk about the good thing's in this thread, if you have an issue go start another thread where nobody will look or see it and talk to people who wouldn't know about it. LOL
[One (M8) Android Development] iOSecure:
Why dont you just revert back to stock sense then?
[One (M8) Android Development] ldjalal:
Tried, doesn't work. As I mentioned in my previous post, the poorly cut nano sim probably damaged the sim card connectors. I will take it back to a shop to see if they can confirm so I can rule out the RUU as the cause.
[One (M8) Android Development] kennypow3rs:
Its not an issue to post in here and I don't have a problem answering a **** ton of questions but when it gets off topic it just goes downhill. Then you gotta go through pages of unrelated issues that don't have anything to do with converting lol. Any who thanks for the zip you provided bro! Helped me out
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
The guy couldn't get service on GPe, I didn't think we were off topic. trying to narrow down what his issue could be, and it's not the firmware. So won't be discussing it anymore :)

[One (M8) Android Development] EternalAndroid:
Please don't attack me for asking but how do I get rid of the random data drops? I'm on MetroPCS, I feel like if I put a friend's T-Mobile SIM inside it wouldn't do this. All of my APN settings are set correctly just curious why this happens I refuse to go back to sense.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Probably a dead SIM, might be worth getting it changed (question is also a bit off topic so might be worth asking in Q&A as opposed to here as it's not the ROM that's the issue here)
[One (M8) Android Development] EternalAndroid:
FWIW this never happened on sense.

[One (M8) Android Development] EternalAndroid:
Indeed I am.
[One (M8) Android Development] Zeebz:
What do you mean by data drops? Just like the signal bars dropping or does your data actually stop working for periods of time?
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
I did have a few issues with data when on the GPe conversion but I swing between Sense and GPe whenever updates come out and Sense does seem a bit more stable but not enough to be an issue
[One (M8) Android Development] EternalAndroid:
Data stops working altogether until I toggle airplane mode on & off.
[One (M8) Android Development] Zeebz:
Ahh. I am not sure then, unfortunately. Maybe it's a network issue with Metro PCS' network, or it could be a bad flash and you could try and re-flash the RUU and see if that fixes it? To see if it's Metro's network you could try a T-Mobile sim in your M8 and see if it does/doesn't drop the data like it does with your sim card.
[One (M8) Android Development] EternalAndroid:
I'll let you know what happens, thanks for the speedy responses fellas - back on topic now.

Update to 4.4.4

Hello,

me again. The update to 4.4.4 was offered today but failed with the known System/priv-apps/SystemUI.apk message.

I did not backup the file after the update to 4.4.3 because I kept the OTA file and thought it is in there.

But there is only a patch file for it. :(

Does anyone know how to apply a patch file "offline" ? Or could sent me the original SystemUI.apk after the 4.4.3 update.

Quick Q for those using this ROM...

Can you choose 1080p video in the YouTube app? I can in Sense but not in the GPe (only 720p) and was wondering if it was an issue with my install or a limitation of the ROM (which I don't get as it's still a 1080p screen!)
[One (M8) Android Development] gagdude:
First of all this isn't a ROM ;)

To answer your question, 1080p and 480p were available to some users on the YouTube app but most are stuck without those. You probably got the server side switch flipped on while you were on Sense but since the RUU completely wipes the slate clean you just got stuck without the options.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
You know what I mean when I say 'ROM' ;)

It's funny as I converted back to Sense from the GPe RUU and straight away had the 1080p option if the video offered it but when on GPe it only gives 720p as the maximum resolution for the same video (MKBHD if interested). If you're using the latest YouTube app everyone should now have the new options as they've been available for well over a month now...
