Hold down power+vol up to force reboot the device. If you still can't boot do that then immediately switch from vol up to vol down to get to recovery.

flashed last night on sprint variant, and seems to be running extremely smooth. So far, only thing that is acting odd is I cannot get device to connect to my wifi AP. Anyone else on sprint ver have this issue? Other devices are connecting fine, and I have tried forget, re-enter password and what not. Perhaps we need sprint specific wifi modules?

In trickster mod if you swipe to left 3 times it should bring you to the "Specific" page scroll siren to the bottom all your MPU voltages are there to adjust on your own.

I haven't played with voltages since OG eVO, this kernel seems to be fine on battery life for my usage.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
I'm using System Tuner to undervolt the 2.5 overclocked version -30mv. The phone has been running fantastically, with great battery life despite lots of active use. I am at 12 hours 26 minutes off charger and still at 64%. Frankly, I run in power saver mode all day anyway. If this keeps up, I may stop carrying an extra expansion battery and charging cables with me every where I go, thereby lightening my briefcase by a pound or two. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
Yea I see that as very bad practice.... Need to see if we can get spr specific version, I liked my Mac address haha. Not sure why, but the sources are slightly different in size. By 1mb. Looking into build spr from source later this week...

Way to do it is not have it set to load at boot, drop it 25 across the board. See how things go. If good, drop another 25. Do this til stuff goes wonky/start seeing reboots. Go with the previous solid dropage or voltage ⚡ .

What MAC is it changing it to?

And what ROM are you using when this happens?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Hmm... I think I know whats wrong with the MAC address issue...

I think it has to do with Symlinks to /data/misc/wifi/

I cant explain it 100% but this problem occurred on Nexus 7 and was resolved by symlink to files to that location... However, on this device, those files cause WiFi to stop all together...

I looked at Viper One and Android Revolution HD and we all have the same symlinks. I also verified my symlinks manually. So I dont think this is ROM specific like the Nexus 7 was...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Here are the files I had to symlink to fix the WiFi... I tried on this phone and it did not work... Killed WiFi alltogether... pronto vs prima?

symlink("/data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini", "/system/vendor/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini");
symlink("/data/misc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin", "/system/vendor/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin");

The ini file seems to be missing on this device.

I dont know if any of this will help but good luck and let me know if I can help.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
50.2e is prpoer for an HTC Device Qualcom device. MAC is coded by mfg.

There is 1 of 5 mac address that will be used. Its generally the first one which is the one that all the other people have and almost always starts with 00:0a... bla bla bla.

So this leads me to beleive that the kernel should be reading the config and pushing it to /data/misc/wifi/ but I have not heard of the kernel doing that before. So this must be something new...

Also...

Could it be the pronto_wlan.ko file not working properly??

Just a thought. Could you make a package with your kernel and stock .ko so I can test it?

I am also going to test my own kernel (I forgot I built one) and see if this persists.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
Okay thanks for the info. In the second part of the message I assume you're talking to the op not me when you talk about packing a kernel?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Its a driver problem...

I am using stock driver and my Kernel maintains the MAC address that it should.

My kernel is pure stock build. with Stock wifi .ko

Can someone please flash my kernel and see fi the WiFi changes back?

http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=531

You wont have exfat but its just to test my MAC theory about the driver.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sparky_005:
I just made a nandroid so I'd be happy to.

Downloading now, will update after flash with MAC
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Sounds good.

EDIT: As a control test can you return to a stock based config with proper MAC before flashing my kernel to verify your MAC returns.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Currently having a nightmarish issue. Flashed the 2.5 rework and had reboots. Rolled back to 2.5 OC and still had reboots. Rolled back to a Nandroid of 2.5 OC original (boot and system) and STILL had reboots. Rolled back to Nandroid of v10 without OC and STILL had reboots. I'm starting to think that TWRP can't wipe the boot image properly and something's in the rework that is persisting. Going to flash a different recovery, wipe, then start over.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sparky_005:
Your theory is correct. MAC on evo's kernel was 00:0a:f5:e2:40:48

MAC on your kernel is 50:2e:5c:3a:42:3f

I didn't have to return to stock base or anything, just flashed your kernel directly over evo's and my correct MAC returned.

EDIT: If you need any other info I'll be happy to give it to you, otherwise I'm gonna go back to evo's kernel. I like exfat :P
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Yeah, thats all I needed to know... And I think Evolutionmods and all the other kernel devs will read this and know what needs to happen.

Would appreciate some help. Can't stop rebooting since installing 2.5 oc rework. Have even done complete wipes in both Philz touch and TWRP. Even rolling back to pre-OC v10 full nandroid and I can't stay booted. Even rebooted to safe mode and she rebooted after a few minutes. Any suggestions? Will an hboot factory reset clean this mess up? Even reboots in SAFE mode. Thinking I gotta wipe boot partition somehow at this point, but don't know how.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
Yes. Restore stock recovery and do a factory reset. You may need to flash a stock ROM/kernel also prior to wiping.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Thanks. Have the stock recovery. Factory reset in hboot or in stock recovery? (In hboot it'll wipe the internal sdcard and, of course, that's where Titanium stores its files because of rw limitations on sdcard.)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
Factory reset will wipe everything. Try to backup anything you need in-between reboots.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
This is a freaking train wreck. I can't believe there's no way to wipe boot. That's where the problem is.

Won't flashing a new rom wipe and write a new boot.img? Do a full wipe and try flashing a different rom. Did you UV any? My guess is maybe you UV too much and had it set to retain that UV at boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
If it's a partition issue, only an RUU will repair that. He's already restored a nandroid with a different kernel but it didn't stop the reboots.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Well, that was quite a stroll through 4 different recoveries; used cwm to format \boot and that didn't make a difference either. Eventually I tried to flash a new ROM and the system couldn't find the card (that was alarming). Pulled the card and put it in the PC and lo and behold it had somehow gotten corrupted. (So much for exFAT). Now hoping I don't have a dead 128g card (which Sandisk will have to replace). Managed to get back to pure stock/rooted. Starting the painful rebuilding process now. Honestly not sure at this point how I even got back to pure stock. It just rebooted without the sdcard into pure stock ROM. Still waiting for root explorer to redownload to see just how bad the damage is. At least my heart rate is starting to return to normal.

As to the uv issue, I was only uv '30mv and that had been working fine for several days. It wasn't until I went to the 2.5 rework that the troubles started and couldn't be undone. My choices on rebuild now are either to work my way back to the earlier 2.5 oc and uv less, or stick with stock kernel, which means FAT32. Real bummer, and lots of lost time today.

UPDATE: It was *definitely* the sdcard. Put it back in the unit and it promptly rebooted. Go figure.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fireguy0306:
Starts with the same is ok. The first few should actually be the same. That as a registered OUI, most likely to HTC or whomever makes the WiFi chipset. It's totally identical that's bad. I flashed back to a stock kernel and it went back to a unique id

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Yeah, thanks to everyone, esp. NotATreoFan who jumped on it. Amazing how something so simple can muck things up so badly. I'm hoping I can rescue a Nandroid from the sdcard and get back what I had before the hiccough (but not before making a new nandroid on a DIFFERENT sdcard so I don't go nuts again). Clearly unrelated to the kernel per se, sorry to have distracted y'all.

Yeah, undervolting is fun but really doesn't save that much battery. If you undervolt by -50 you will save MAYBE 2-3% in battery (do the math starting at 975 voltage).

However under CLOCKING can save you 15-30%, depending on how low you go.

Not discouraging either, but the math is pretty clear that undervolting doesn't do much unless you can do it a LOT.

I've heard some people having issues this kernel and Viper. Of course, your mileage may vary.

I guess i'm looking for the most user friendly kernal app mod if that's possible? All i know how to do is set cpu speeds, how many cores, and that's about it with these mods. Have no idea what thresholds, voltages, etc are all for and probably mess up my device playing with this stuff.
