Okay I'll test it when I find some free time. I was asking when lolipop arrives on M8 so that I can restore stock without installing previous recovery.

Is 2.8.2.1 now stable to install ? I was reading on forum that there were some issues. Btw new look is dope!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
If being able to receive a call on your smartphone is so important that you cannot find ten minutes to mess with a nandroid then you should ruu back to stock and leave it that way.

I need some help.

I needed to update my firmware so i used this RUU to get back to stock (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/ruu-m8vzw-4-4-4-s-off-onlynewest-t2914914). I am still S-off and rooted however the new RUU (kernel) seems to have SD card write protection on. I can't backup or flash anything in TWRP. How do I fix this?

Any help is appreciated

2.8.3.0 GSM version from TWRP website with changed splash screen (curtain) attached.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
FYI, the "GSM" version and the CDMA versions are the same, i.e. there's only one version. So this should work on any/all.

Additionally the functionality to change curtain is included in the updated Materialised theme, if people want to try this themselves.

2.8.3.0 Entering Recovery Issue

I just flashed 2.8.3.0 on this AT&T M8 but I am having some issues getting into recovery.

I just did "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m8.img" which was all good there but whenever I reboot into recovery it just hangs at the white "loading" screen saying "Entering Recovery"

I do get some haptic feedback whenever I tap on certain areas on the screen. Not sure if anyone has ran into this yet.

I have a S-ON M8 unlocked through HTCDev and I'm on the 3.16 Hboot
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You'll probably have to stay on the previous version unless you update your firmware. That HBOOT is quite old.

Has AT&T not gotten any updates?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] assassinanex:

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Fly1nP4nda:
Yeah I reverted to one of the 2.7s and it works fine. I'll have to check and see if there are some later firmwares for AT&T since I just got the phone. Thanks for the heads up.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
Anyone having issues flashing twrp just dd it. Place the recovery image on your internal sdcard and rename it to recovery.img Then using terminal emulator type su and hit enter. Then type WITHOUT the quotes "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" and hit enter and that will flash the recovery image for you. Directions are also on the twrp OP [emoji6] Merry Christmas XDA!!!

Update your Android SDK.

Download the newest .img file from here

Download the above file. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.img

Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43

Then reboot to complete installation.

You need root. You don't have it.

Just try flashing the previous version (2.8.1.0). It should flash fine. Then you can gain root and upgrade using the Terminal method.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] billydroid:
I'm using the modified sense hboot w/ gpe firmware from the sky dragon thread. That could be it. Didn't even think about that.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Shinkoku:
Guys, a simple question,

Will twrp (ver. 2.8.1.0), that installs and works ok on 4.4.2 firmware flashed device, work ok on the 4.3 flashed device (device is same)?

Details. I have Samsung Note 3 SC-01F device (Japanese model, thread's here). Official 4.4.2 firmware installed. I flash twrp through Odin (twrp taken from here), it flashes and works perfectly.

Now, I have one more same SC-01F device, which has official 4.3 firmware (and I don't want to upgrade).

So, question is - will same twrp work on that 4.3. device, too? Any ideas?

Help is really appreciated!! Thanks!!! :highfive:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] PieceKeepr:
You might be better off asking in a Samsung thread rather than an M8 thread, but I was curious so I checked out the official TRWP website and saw this...

"Use the 4.3 version of TWRP if you have never upgraded kitkat bootloader. Otherwise make sure you use the 4.4 version. These versions of TWRP*have different DTBs and will fail to boot if you do not match your bootloader."

I didn't see anything specific about 4.2 and I'm not certain I was looking at the right device, but here's the link so you can have a look yourself. Find your phone and click the link...

[One (M8) Original Android Development] GohanBurner:
Same thing here on Verizon wlv version. Just hangs at Entering Recovery....

Any ideas?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Make sure you're on the latest Sense firmware for your variant, and also make sure you have the latest version of the Android SDK platform-tools installed. It should work fine after that.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] GohanBurner:
I'm having some issues with 2.8.3.0. When I go to flash a Lollipop based ROM, it'll get to the point where it says its skipping the MD5 check (because I have it set to off) and then nothing. I touch back and it goes back, but I have to restore from a backup to be able to use my phone again. Anyone else having an issue? When I try to flash a Lollipop ROM it says that it can't unmount /System.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Log? And you've tried multiple ROMs?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] GohanBurner:
I don't have a log, soirry...but I have tried recent CM 12 and Resurrection ROM's and they both do the same thing. It says that it can't unmount the system. Weird....I recently updated to the latest firmware for Verizon if that makes a difference...but I had to do that in order to even get 2.8.3.0 to boot.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Not being able to unmount system isn't really an error - it's just information. Without a log to look at, I can't even guess as to whether there's an error at all.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Shinkoku:
Thanks man!!!

Yes I know thread's wrong, but my device thread has not much info on twrp I need, so I made search on "twrp"...

Anyway. Your reply helped me a lot. I found the page, got some twrp versions I thought might work. Unfortunately, none of them do... there's so my device in the list, and other vendor's do not work.

But at least I have a clue now. I also contacted twrp guys, maybe, they'll be able to help..

Thanks again :highfive:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] GohanBurner:
I found out what was happening. I had MTP enabled. It wasn't plugged in though...so I don't know why it still wouldn't be able to flash anything. I disabled MTP and everything flashed normally. Does that sound like a bug?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I believe it is, and I also believe it's already been fixed for the next update.

Going forward, please provide a log for issues you encounter - otherwise I'm not even going to bother responding, as I don't like to speculate on what may be causing an issue.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] famouscollin:
Please excuse me if I missed something in the OP, or in recent posts, but this is the correct twrp to use on my Verizon m8 right?? been outa the loop for a while got my m8 today wanna get up to speed.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, this recovery will work on the Verizon M8, but depending on how you flash it, make sure you look at the correct page on the TeamWin site. The Verizon variant has recovery on a different block.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] famouscollin:
Ok I see I think it says m7wlv at the end right?

I have achieved s-off thru sunshine (easier I have ever done I might add) and would like to install twrp thru the app. It says I need root access, can someone point me to a quick root method? Can I just fastboot flash superSu-v1.94.zip?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
M8, not M7.

And you should fastboot flash TWRP. TWRP can root your device for you once you do that.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] MJPollard:
My M8 (AT&T, root, S-OFF, SuperCID) also hangs at "Entering recovery..." after flashing 2.8.3.0 (2.8.1.0 runs just fine). Another posted earlier said that it may be because of my HBOOT version, which is 3.16. Is that the latest version for the AT&T M8? Is there a later version I can use? Is there a way I can update just the HBOOT, or do I need to flash a complete stock ROM and then restore my current setup? I'm not exactly a noob at all this :), and I'm quite comfortable flashing and so forth, but I've been searching the M8 forums and it's been a bear trying to find the most up to date information (which I know is typical for XDA forums; information gets scattered around all over the place, and can be difficult to interpret especially when older info is in the mix). A few hints or links to where the most recent HBOOT (or firmware containing the latest HBOOT) for an AT&T M8 can be found would be greatly appreciated so that I can use the latest TWRP (and the latest Lollipop ROMs, since they also seem to need the most recent firmware).
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I believe you can use the International M8 firmware, since your device is GSM. I believe there are a few threads on XDA for such firmware.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] MJPollard:
Huh. Well, if I can get to HBOOT 3.19, and 2.8.3.0 hangs at rebooting the system, at least I'll be able to use Lollipop ROMs when the time comes (after going back to TWRP 2.8.1.0). Worth a shot. :)

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I don't have the know how to do that. But again thanks for the response.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] LNJ:
Just use the flashify app.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] muppetmaster916:
Yeah I used RUU to get official lollipop so I don't have root, need recovery to flash supersu.zip
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jshamlet:
As an aside, I just noticed that the latest build of TWRP actually booted on the Lollipop firmware! I was able to backup and root without touching the stock bootloader.

Awesome! :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Then use fastboot - that's the preferred way to flash images anyway.

As was pointed out in the post above this one, you don't even have to flash TWRP - you can simply fastboot boot it.

I only do fastboot recovery flashing. Always works for me.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] appro77:
I need some help here. I tried installing 2.8.4.0 with TWRP Manager which didn't work. It must have removed the stock recovery though because when I tried to boot into recovery my phone would just sit at the "entering recovery" screen.

I then followed the instructions on the TWRP site to install via Fastboot. The command prompt seemed to indicate that TWRP had installed but my phone still won't enter recovery and just sits at the "entering recovery" screen.

I then tried installing the last version, 2.8.3.0, but I still have the same issue. The phone will not enter recovery. The phone will boot normally and is still usable.

Can anyone suggest how I can get TWRP working?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Update your firmware.

EDIT: Also don't use that app to flash recovery - fastboot is the most reliable method to flash a recovery image.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] appro77:
Thanks for the reply. I've just flashed 2.8.1.0 with fastboot and I now have a recovery. Not sure why 2.8.30 and 2.8.4.0 wouldn't work.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] appro77:
Sorry. When I first read your reply "Update your firmware" wasn't a link. I'm not sure if you edited it shortly after that or what happened. I've since read your link and it all makes sense to this HTC newbie now.

Will updating the firmware have any negative effects on S-OFF or root?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I only added a link to show that I'd said the same thing before.

There shouldn't be any ill effects to updating. It has nothing to do with S-OFF or root.

i am on twrp 2.8.4.0 . have the 4.16.401.10 firmware and for 1 week all was fine on different sense lollipop roms

then i wanted to switch the rom.

in recovery / wipe i wiped data , system ,cache and dalvik to perform a fullwipe..

accidently i checked internal storage too.

it wiped my storage. so i connected to my pc and replaced a rom into the storage..

i flashed it and since then on every sense lollipop rom the systemui makes a Force close..

i flashed a terminal emulator to execute this command

su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

but that dont solve the problem...

then i reflashed the firmware / recovery and rom..

but still dont fix it!

any advice please

thanks in advance :)

Fixed it .

i went back to an old recovery and an old 4.4.4 base.....

then going to lollipop 2.8.4.0 and rom.. now is fine .. lol
