I can't seem to get GPE conversion complete.

I am bootloader unlocked, S-Off, rooted.

My Cid was T-MOB010 I changed it to GOOGL001

When I flash the RUU zip this is the error I get no matter how many times I try it.

writing 'zip'...

(bootloader) zip header checking...

(bootloader) shift signature_size for header checking...

FAILED (remote: 32 header error)

All google searches I did for that error don't turn up anything of use. Anyone have any ideas?
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
Do you need to change the MID or is CID enough to get OTAs?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
That's really an unknown until someone with a different mid reports they got the ota. With the m7 neither mattered we at least know the Cid has to match to get the Ota. With the m7 the Ota zips(particularly the firmware zip within the ota) included various mids and cids. The m8 firmware zip only had an entry for the GPE Cid (not sure about the mid as I didn't look)
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
How will it show if I need to change MID? Won't I get the OTA at all or will I get the OTA but it won't install?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
No idea.. as my mid is the same as the GPE. The only way we will know is by other people with different mids if they get the update or not and report their experiences. If the mid does need to be changed there is a thread for it in general.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
That is the same error I got trying to flash the Tmo RUU after taking 4.4.3. I had to use a different PC to get it to flash.

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

Very strange. I spent 2 + hours on it last night before giving up. I figured I was stuck. Did you ever get it to work?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
No, I just tried that once and then went the round about way to get back to sense.. I needed just get it over with and release the rom version.
[One (M8) Android Development] lsv-1:
Hello, I lost root after the OTA update, is there a way to get it back without flashing a custom recovery?
[One (M8) Android Development] leon912:
Dear all, is there some one can tell me the hboot version and radio version after flashing this ruu?
[One (M8) Android Development] Pimpmark:
Would like to know if its possible to use the ota when I have a custom kernel? If yes, where could i download a stock gpe kernel?

I know that we need stock recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
pull it out of the ruu? fastboot it
[One (M8) Android Development] lsv-1:
Can someone please tell me what's the latest radio I can use with the GOOGL001 CID? Thank you. I've been experiencing a weird behavior, when the phone disconnects from my work's WiFi the data does not connect back (APN should be configured properly) I have to enable airplane mode for the data to connect, any thoughts?
[One (M8) Android Development] Pimpmark:
I extracted system.img from the RUU and tried flashing it using fastboot. But what I got is

C:\mini-sdk>fastboot flash system systemroot.img

target reported max download size of 1830715392 bytes

erasing 'system'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.002s

I am S-Off with unlocked bootloader, and with CID of GOOGL001.

Is there anything else that I can do?
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
did you run the 4.4.2 ruu or just flash the rom? if youre s-off why not just grab the 4.4.3 ruu and update that way, save yourself the headache.
[One (M8) Android Development] Pimpmark:
I flashed the .img file without the RUU. I was under the impression that flashing the RUU would wipe my data. Am I wrong to think that?
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
No youre right. It will wipe internal storage. What I would suggest if thats what youre worried about is just going to the 4.4.3 rom thread and grabbing that. Gets you to 4.4.3 and wont wipe storage. If you only flashed the system.img, the ota will not apply to your phone. It'll error flashing.
[One (M8) Android Development] Pimpmark:
I asked around in the ROM thread and someone said that I could not flash the OTA due to different system partition sizes after the conversion to GPE. How could I then flash the OTA. Btw, thanks for your help on explaining this to me.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
flashing the system.img is not a conversion. also you have it backwards. if you flash the ruu conversion you cant go back to sense without running firmware ruu. you can go download the 4.4.3 zip and flash it in recovery no problems.
[One (M8) Android Development] pham077:
Sorry just wondering, is there a benefit in a complete conversion using the RUU for GPe?

Does it make any difference to the system files or the way the phone works? I wouldn't assume so but thought i'd ask since I see people on xda doing the complete conversion, when flashing a zip in recovery works just fine
[One (M8) Android Development] Pimpmark:
I don't think so. If I am not mistaken the only benefit we can get is just actual OTA similar to a GPE device. And that is if you keep it at stock.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
For reference, I have an EU unbranded One and I only had to change the CID to GOOGL001 and I was able to manually flash the OTA without any issues as the MID of my handset is listed in the OTA files firmware package
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
What MID do you have?
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
0P6B10000. MIDs listed in android-info.txt in the firmware ZIP in the new 4.4.3 OTA are:

modelid: 0P6B10000

modelid: 0P6B50000

modelid: 0P6B60000

modelid: 0P6B12000

modelid: 0P6B13000

modelid: 0P6B11000

modelid: 0P6B15000

modelid: 0P6B16000

modelid: 0P6B17000
[One (M8) Android Development] Acill:
Just thought I would chime in and report I got the OTA for 4.4.3 on my US AT&T full conversion. Thanks as always for the work you do. Its kinda funny I got the OTA on my M7 before my Nexus 7 2012 model!
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
I've got CID: GOOGL001 and MID: 0P6B10000 and still no OTA. My Nexus 4 got the update. Is something wrong or should I just wait?
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
I didn't wait, I just downloaded and flashed it in stock recovery. OTA updates don't go out to everyone at once so you can wait if you want
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
I'm not really not interested in the update itself (or yes, I am), I'm more interested in conforming OTAs working for my phone. I'll just wait for a while longer.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
So long as you have GOOGL001 and an MID in the list I posted and the phone is 100% stock (system, recovery, boot, etc.) then it should flash fine once the OTA is pushed to your phone
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
I had TRWP for a while, but I haven't flashed any custom recovery since I flashed the RUU last time. The RUU includes stock recovery too, right?

At least I get the Android guy when rebooting to recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
That is the stock reovery, press volume up + power to get the menu
[One (M8) Android Development] nkedge:
T-Mobile converted m8 here with CID changed to GOOGL001. Got the OTA yesterday and updated with no issues other than having to re-root afterwards.
[One (M8) Android Development] euki69:
I was wondering, do i need stock kernel for the OTA?

I am on unlocked bootloader, s-off, stock recovery, and GOOGL001 cid.

Thanks for any help! I can't find the stock kernel :/

I've also converted to 4.4.2 using this guide c:

Edit: ive done more researched and realized i need a stock kernel.. but I still can't find it.

Edit 2: okay everything is stock. just s-off and bootloader unlocked, waiting for OTA
[One (M8) Android Development] mojolive:
I had to edit the android text file in the zip.. what is the best program on PC to re-zip it?

and what settings do I use to re-zip it.. ?
[One (M8) Android Development] smader12:
My experience has been better with simultaneously pressing and holding volume up and down and then pressing power.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

The update has been posted by the OP, you can flash it in recovery if you don't want to wait.
[One (M8) Android Development] euki69:
I've literally just tried that but since I've gotten rid of some APKs ( like the stock calculator) I've receive an error trying to flash from stock recovery -.-

will it be okay to flash from a custom recovery like philz touch? thank you for the reply!
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
The OTA will only apply over a 100% stock system image with the stock recovery
[One (M8) Android Development] smader12:
I believe it only works from the stock recovery. I tried with TWRP and it didn't work, but it did work from stock recovery.

I don't know for sure, but I would guess if it doesn't flash from the stock recovery on your device then it won't flash from the OTA process either.
[One (M8) Android Development] euki69:
#thestruggle now i really miss my N5. lol

edit: definitely wont install from custom recovery *sigh* I guess i have to find the stock APKs. I don't want to flash RUU and reset all my settings -.-
[One (M8) Android Development] mojolive:
need a little help, so I have converted my HTC m8 version to a google version, all we fine except I can not download anything from the google play store. I can login and see all my paid apps, but when I try to update or install. nothing will happen.. it says on the play store installing but there is no notification on the tel. and after 20 mins there is nothing downloading.

I have restarted. cleared cache, data factory reset.. nothing helps.

any ideas on how to fix this..

also I have not change my cid to google's it is still my stock HTC Y__13

could that have something to do with it?
[One (M8) Android Development] smader12:
If you don't have the apk's, you may be able to pull them out of the ROM in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2706441 ... although it looks like graffix has already updated the ROM to 4.4.3 so you may need an older link to the 4.4.2 version. Good luck!

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

I suggest you change your CID to the goggle one and re-flash the update. I received the OTA update the day it came out but was still using the T-Mobile CID. After the update appeared to apply successfully, many things did not work...WiFi was the first I noticed. After changing the CID to the Google one and flashing the update from stock recovery all is good.
[One (M8) Android Development] euki69:
ahhh thanks for the suggestion! I'll try now, I still have the RUU zip from the conversion
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Well, doing the full conversion gives you the GPe radio, bootloader, and more usable space on internal memory. If you're like me, the black Google splash and bootloader is MUCH better than the white we get on non GPe M8's. If you dont care about those things, then no. There is no advantage to converting.
[One (M8) Android Development] smader12:
+OTA updates
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
That too, although prior to me taking the 4.4.3 update on my M8, I can't tell you when I last took an OTA on a phone. Always have other ways to update.
[One (M8) Android Development] LiquidPrince:
Just received OTA update this morning but now I'm having some issues. I was on 4.4.2 and stock recovery flashed RUU from this thread and it was working fine. After the conversion though the entire UI was lagging like crazy. So I rebooted and nothing changed. So I switched runtime to ART randomly, hoping it might fix things and the stutter disappeared. Then I changed back to Dalvik. However now I can't use the camera because it says "cannot connect to camera" and my Wifi won't turn on.

Anyone experience any of this and know how to help?

EDIT: actually any time I reboot, the entire phone becomes laggy again and stays like that, no matter how many times you reboot.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
If you search this thread you will find the answer because I know a few people had this issue. I converted to 4.4.2 with no issues then converted to 4.4.3 and went back to sense to test the procedure and I converted back to 4.4.3 and every time I have not seen this issue so it's weird.
[One (M8) Android Development] asolram:
Did you change the CID? in the first post there are instructions to do it... and many pages back also refer to that... good luck.
[One (M8) Android Development] pham077:
Oh ok, thanks for the info!

I've actually flashed the zip file and have got the black spash screen too! Initially had some battery stat issues but now it's fine as I've deleted the file. Only other issue is dotmatrix, dont think system files can be deleted with stock kernel but I can live with that for now..
[One (M8) Android Development] LiquidPrince:
So I figured out the problem: back when I first converted the using the 4.4.2 RUU, Graffixnyc hadn't mentioned that you NEEDED to be on GOOGL001 CID. The only thing that was mentioned was that if your CID or MID wasn't in the Android-info.txt file, then you needed to add them there. Consequently, my CID was the ROGERS CID. To fix, I rewrote my CID to GOOGL001 via fastboot and added my MID to the Android-info.txt file manually. Then I re-flashed the new 4.4.3 RUU and everything is working fine now.
[One (M8) Android Development] Sophos1:
Hey guys,

First off super thanks to [MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] for providing this awesome work.

I ran the Pre-Rooted 4.4.2 conversion on my att M8 about two weeks ago. Everything was great and the phone ran really smooth without any issues whatsoever. Two days ago I plugged my phone in before bed (at about 30% charge) and when a woke up in the middle of the night I check it and it was powered off and would NOT power on. No LED light on power or usb, computer would not recognize the device either. Google searches lead me to trying holding down power for more than 90 seconds and the power + volume but nothing worked. I took it to att and they are warranty replacing the device ( thank goodness).

My question is, Is there anyway that problem was software related? I loved the GPE, so I would like to do the conversion on my new device just dont want to screw up another M8.

Thx dudes

Additional info: SuperCID, Stock MID, Xposed framework with several modules
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Hey if you run into issues syncing contacts or flashing the latest radio from your carrier set your cid back to your stock carrier cid and flash the latest radio from your carrier then change cid back to google cid.
[One (M8) Android Development] smader12:
He did mention it along with others on multiple posts after the update came out and people realized it...no one knew until then. Glad your device is working now.
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Not a chance. That is a hardware issue.

Soundstage

Has anyone noticed a huge soundstage change when listening music with headphones and pressing the home button in Android 4.4.3? No?

Try this:

Plug your htc headphones, open "Play Music" choose a song, play it for a while and then hit home, the soundstage changes :eek:

Note: if you use the recent apps button to switch to something else instead of the home button the soundstage doesn't change.

Note 2: I already reset my phone to factory defaults and cleared both caches. Nothing...

Can you guys please confirm? Thank you.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:

restoring system

Is it safe to flash systemroot.img (that was extracted from the rooted RUU file) through adb to restore the default /system/ directory?

I am having trouble updating to 4.4.3 and I think I may have accidentally messed up my /system/ directory so I think this will help?

[One (M8) Android Development] smader12:
That error message makes it look like you're trying to flash the OTA through TWRP. If that's the case, you can't do that, you have to use the stock recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] supahdaniel:
Thanks! that worked for me. Although I lost root. I can get it back though.

Will I lose LTE if I do this on a European version? I guess they dont have the same bands as the US version.
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
You might... I would open the zip file and delete the radio.img before you flash
[One (M8) Android Development] djr83:
How will this work with OTA?
[One (M8) Android Development] graffixnyc:
PSA: People have been reporting not being able to flash back to sense. When investigating this further I found that the system partition on the GPE is about half the size of the sense system partition. (just over a gig compared to like 2.8) This was not the case on the M7

So as of now once you convert, YOU CAN NOT GO BACK TO A SENSE BASED ROM UNTIL A RUU is RELEASED! I'm working on getting a new RUU for testing that will have the GPE system files but keep Sense's system partition size..But it's not 100% guaranteed I can. I will keep everyone posted. Rest assured nothing is wrong with the RUU. If you did convert and want to go back you just have to wait for a RUU to be released then you can go back but flashing a sense rom in recovery wont work.

[One (M8) Android Development] Coughs:
What exactly does removing the radio.img file do? Thanks.

It controls how you connect to the mobile network, so its still using the one vodafone installed.

Thanks for letting us know! Could you please confirm when you have access to real LTE?

So theoretically, removing the radio.img file will make the phone work with any network in the UK?

The stock recovery did not work with this rom even tried flashing it standalone, had to install philz.

GPE with included firmware conversion

I understand that this conversion method creates a full GPE M8, but will this conversion offer all of the Radio bands that the GPE comes with if converting an AT&T version? I bought the AT&T version in hopes of converting to GPE with support for the T-Mobile bands, all of them. Can someone confirm that the GPE radio in this firmware will indeed support all GSM carrier bands that the Official GPE is supposed to? Thank you. I am hoping that all the GSM chipsets are the same and that the radio limitation will be cleared up with this conversion.

Everything working perfectly.

Thanks.
[One (M8) Android Development] bjg020683:
Everyone is making this so hard. All you have to do is change your mid to Google edition and update if you have a factory recovery. If you can't get the update just force the update by clearing the data in google framework and restarting the phone. My phone was rooted with factory recovery when I updated.

[One (M8) Android Development] petiha1:
So I am also looking to update to 4.4.3 and the problem I'm facing is getting back to stock kernel... I mean, when it's a ROM I have flashed I know that you just flash the ROM again without wiping and that will overwrite the custom kernel with the stock one. But what's the case with a RUU? I mean, I guess I don't have to flash the RUU again as it will wipe everything.. any way to extract stock kernel from the RUU? Help is much appreciated! ;) :fingers-crossed:
[One (M8) Android Development] EddyOS:
Yep, just open the 4.4.2 RUU in 7-Zip and extract the boot.img and then flash it in fastboot
[One (M8) Android Development] Zeebz:
How are you guys that have done the conversion liking it? I'm strongly considering doing the conversion on my AT&T One M8. Surprisingly, Sense is a really nice UI compared to the other OEM ones (TouchWiz, Optimus UI), but I still love stock Android. Would you guys recommend doing it?
[One (M8) Android Development] mikeyinid:
Its all about personal preference.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
I converted and it's great but the Rom version is just as good. The only difference from the Rom version to converting is ota and bootloader so it's really up to you on that end.
[One (M8) Android Development] DwadeCham:
If you have ever had a Nexus device you would probably like it. My benchmark score also went up after the conversion. I like it better than out of the box.
