I was stuck at the HTC screen also and had to flash again to get it to boot. But now I can't get any mobile data. I know LTE doesn't work but I can't even get data on 3g. Won't register. Are you guys able to get 3g OK?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
Yes, change the setting from LTE to 3G in cellular settings
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] comstar:
Ya I had tried that already. But can't get it to connect. Going to reflash and see if that helps. WiFi and GPS work fine
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
I did the same thing and can't get 3g either. Just sits there and says connecting. WiFi works so im good. Data isn't a deal breaker for me to test.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
are you guys rebooting after switching it to 3G? i had to. It didnt change immediately but after i rebooted, it came on.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Yes
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
then im out of ideas. i guess the last thing i can think of is to make sure you have the data roaming switch set to on.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Yeah got that too, like I said its by no means going to stop me from running this as a dd. I don't need data at work and at home I'm on WiFi. Its just amazing we got a functional build this early into 5.0s lifespan.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Don't worry, it shouldn't be too much longer ;)

(obviously, this was to prove that I posted this over LTE)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Badfkinazz man. This is amazing news.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
What gives, capt. Hook it up
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
lol

Patience, sir. I just fixed this right now in bed while I was supposed to be napping and I'm on my way out in a few. Plus I need to figure out how to fix it permanently. It probably won't be done until tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] richardrk:
Capt'n whats up with the Myspace on the top... Lol

They don't call him Captain_Throwback for nothing ;).

#hype begins
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jcoinster:
Ive had to hard restart my phone a few times while using either chrome or facebook/messenger. Everything else is smooth though. Not sure if this is related to the build or 5.0.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Been on chrome Facebook and fb messenger off and on all day and haven't had any issues. Not sure what your issues are related to. I'm on latest non HK firmware and stock kernel. Only issue I have and this is on anything that isn't sense is the "phantom voicemail bug" status bar shows 4 voice mails, none when on any sense ROM and none when I call voicemail. Nothing I can't ignore. Just has plagued me since rooting and unlocking my phone. May have been an issue on my old phone from not clearing voice mails when I activated this one.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
I have the same issue annoying as hell but oh well
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Yeah I used an xposed mod on gpe 4.4.4 to hide the notification but on 5.0 I'll have to ignore it. May try switching to gvoice for VM if it bugs me too much
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jcoinster:
Im on the latest firmware and stock kernel too. Is that a common bug? Ive never even heard of it! The problem hasnt happened in a while though. I changed to chrome beta, changed some settings in developer options and limited background processes.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Did you delete the 4 voice mails in the app?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
3G is also working! I can't fix it permanently without being to recompile framework-res.apk, so here's the workaround to fix LTE:

- Install Change APNs app from Play Store

- Add the below APN (you only need to add a name and the APN address:

- Save the APN, then select it on the APN screen (make sure you have LTE selected in Mobile networks)

- Wait a few seconds for data to kick in!

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

P.S. That's Norton Family icon, not MySpace, lol
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BDA_Rival:
Working good over here for me. Thanks, Captain.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] comstar:
APN fix working here as well.

Captain thanks for all you do!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] richardrk:
It worked for me and then I tried to reboot and got stuck in a bootloop -_-
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Worked for me too. I even rebooted to test this and it booted just fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Da Baron:
LTE workaround :)

Gotta give "props" to da Capt_Throwback for this amazing LTE fix. Worked like a charm for me.

Much obliged,

Da Baron
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] syphen6:
The APN fix did not work for me. I tried rebooting and adding the lte apn and deleting it then adding it back still cant get it to work. 3g works fine though.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
LTE works here. Thanks capt.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Screenshots of APN screen and Mobile Networks, please.

Also, for the people that applied the fix - how does your network show up? Does it still say "Roaming Indicator Off" or whatever it was?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Did you add the APN correctly and selected it rather than selecting Sprint World? After, did you enable LTE back settings ---> cellular networks ---> Prefered network type?

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Mine shows "Roaming indicator On" and Capt, I just want to thank you for all the hard work you've done and the great additions you've brought to the Sprint M8.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
Roaming indicator on.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Alright. Flashable fix for that en route.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjs2011:
Ok. I'll try downloading again. Same result.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
I flashed and data worked both lte and 3g I'm in an area where I bounce between them often but WiFi wouldn't even turn on and the phone was very laggy. So I downloaded trickster mod to check the cpu settings app wouldn't open said I needs a rooted phone so I tried power off thru the apm menu and phone just hung there on powering off so I manually had to go into recovery. Flashed super su 1.99 to try and fix root and phone would not boot back into the system. Just stuck on the boot animation.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] FlowingAway:
Just got back after flashing. LTE and phone calls worked fine but nothing else did, including 3G and WiFi. Was pretty laggy but still awesome to see it boot and function.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Weird that it's not working fine for me and not anyone else. Figures, though.

My WiFi stopped working on one of the builds so I flashed back to an older one and it started working again. I'm not sure what that's about either.

But I'll be using this one for a while so I can test 3G and since I can now make phone calls it's actually usable for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
FYI - eHRPD works for me on test13 :).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] reinaldistic:
did you work on miracast too?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjs2011:
Nice job! I'll be redownloading and trying again tonight.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjs2011:
Just gave it a try and we're making progress! I got it to boot and received LTE right away. I did notice a very similar lag as others were mentioning, which was too much to actually keep using the ROM, but I think the hard part is out of the way.

Kudos Captain, my Captain.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
I also took a quick run through and yes slight slowness looked a little frame slowness camera didn't open and of course Wifi which we all already know with test 13 but lte and 3g were great and setting it manually to lte didn't mess with the network which was refreshing to see, yay for progress
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
What do you mean, WiFi? WiFi is working fine for me.

And I haven't noticed any unbearable lag either. I imagine that the broken WiFi might be the cause of the lag, if it's trying to work and can't, so it bogs down the system.

I recently ran an RUU so maybe that's why I'm not having issues?

P.S. Camera opens fine for me too, though opening it does cause lag (but that's not a new issue).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
Maybe I'll try the ruu and then flash
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I'm going to clean flash a third time and make sure my WiFi and camera are working (in case I'm crazy).

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

Confirmed working here.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjs2011:
So weird. I had working Wi-Fi and camera but had the lag. I wonder if you're on to something that it depends on what room you're coming from
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Or maybe I don't understand what you mean by lag? The term itself is a bit relative. Is there any way to quantify what you're seeing so I can confirm whether or not I'm also seeing it?

I'm definitely not seeing anything system-wide like the lag in the camera.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mjs2011:
Sure. The lag pretty much occurs anytime I would swipe between screens in the launcher, sweeping the status bar down and clicking on icons. So pretty much anything that responds when I touch the screen.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Okay. Definitely not seeing that. No idea why you're having that issue. But like you said, maybe it was because I ran the RUU recently.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] FlowingAway:
I was getting the same lab when I flashed it, as well as broken WiFi. I assume you ran the hk ruu recently?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Very nice, I'm sooo jealous of you guys and your skills
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] richardrk:
Where can we go to pick up the latest build if we wanna give it a whirl?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] comstar:
Mine still says "off" but LTE is working fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] syphen6:
Here you go
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
Try n.ispsn
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] syphen6:
Well that worked. I guess I should really go get glasses :) thanks haha
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
Still shows up but LTE and 3g work and switch fine
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] nickmilla15:

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Network name fix

Okay, try flashing thile attached zip to fix the network name. That shouls be the last thing for everything to work (well, except maybe roaming).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] pwnyourace:
Captain what if you open up the framework-res.apk from your 4.4.4 rom and the 5.0 rom with 7zip and in the xml folder just drag and drop the apns.xml and eri.xml from 4.4.4 to the 5.0 framework. Its what i used to do while porting roms if there was already an apns.xml and eri.xml ready to go. Saves from having to decompile and recompile anything.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
That's what I did with eri.xml to fix the network name. Doing it with the apns.xml breaks the file, though, which is why, like I said, I have to wait for an updated aapt.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] pwnyourace:
Okay just figured id throw it out there. I've never had it break break anything before but that was during 4.0 so I'm sure this is a different demon. You're the man
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tjeeeeee:
Woohoo it works!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Mine works too! Except I don't have the constant voicemail notification ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Worked here just fine. Posted this on lte.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Glewis21:
I don't wanna be a butt hole lol but where can I download 5.0
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Click on "get flashing" in CPTB's post.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
At [MENTION=5220966]nickmilla15[/MENTION]'s suggestion, I updated the boot.img to disable zram/swap (not sure why it was enabled in the first place), and it makes a huge difference in speed and responsiveness. I also added my external storage symlink for TB which I forgot in the initial build.

Try it out and let us know if you see the difference!

Flashable in recovery, of course.

P.S. I should probably repack the zip with all the fixes, but since this is just a pre-release, I'm inclined to wait until we have the official and then make sure that one has all the fixes.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] comstar:
Thought my GPS was working but it's not. Guess I'll nandroid back to viper and get a lock again and see if that fixes it.

Edit: much snappier with the above zip.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Glewis21:
I get a oops is there a way u have to download the zip
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Try the direct download link.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Glewis21:
Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] epedrosa:
I'm about to flash the ROM, does this zip add the apn or I need to download the app to add the apn and then flash this?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
That zip has nothing to do with the APN. You have to follow the procedure I provided to add the APN manually. The zips I posted fix other stuff.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jcoinster:
Ugh! I shouldve known this! My last rom forced me to use that app every few hours (it would switch to Boost) and i knew seeing Sprint World was wrong. Thanks for this! Works like a charm ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] nickmilla15:
Tapa fcs if I try to attach a picture, so here's a link. But I tried to get lte by adding the apn, and it wouldn't connect. Then I went back into the apn app, and it shows that I have none: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uioja823q9dgpuk/Screenshot_2014-11-15-22-41-26.png?dl=0

I have an HK version with s-on... Just flashed the ROM add the apns flashed the fixes and everything is working. GPS test tomorrow...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
thanks captain for making this awesome port possible!!

This port is ridiculously stable for being a test build!! Donations will be heading your way as soon as i get funds to do so! Thanks for the awesome work to all that are involved!!!:highfive:

Edit: only thing I've noticed is the sound can be a bit distorted as far as notifications go but I'm sure that will be fixed in the final release from HTC or later down the road. Also holding 1 on the dial pad doesn't seem to work for voicemail, keep getting a recording saying feature code is unavailable. My quick fix was to save the number for sprints voicemail service in my contacts and access it that way. Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
I just dial my phone number and access it that way which is the same as what you do
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] RedXXII:
I apologize if this is not the correct area to put this but what firmware do I have to flash to be currently up to date?

I have tried flashing this to be up to date: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

but whenever I try to flash this ROM, it does not allow me to access wifi nor mobile data. Are we able to flash the GPE firmware? I'm just looking for a little help. Thanks in advance!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
I used the firmware for 4.4.4 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

[RUU][Firmware]Sprint HTC One M8 | 3.30.65x.2 | Stock Rooted ROMs | Updated 10.31.14 used the non HK version since that's what I'm on. Flashed firmware with hboot, then flashed rom once selecting only united states for GPS, left everything else default, then when it asked to reboot, said no and hit "update only" in aroma when flashing the second time. Booted right up for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Do you have Google+ installed? It's required for attaching pics.

Try using the restore defaults option from the menu on that screen, and then add it again.

Quick heads up I flash the Rom and it was on HTC FOR HOURS
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
Now im not posting this to be a d1ck.

This has been answered a few times, and posting only this doesn't help anyone.. Firmware, s on/off method for flashing??? We need to know all this. Or you'll get plenty of these pictures like I posted
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Martini3001:
Hello, at thirst I want to thank the Captain for his work. I read the last pages and it sounds very nice. The only thing I not exactly understand is if I can use this ROM on a non-sprint device. If I understand #1 post correcly I should be able to when I use fastboot while flashing, is this correct? Actually I use the RUU Firmware at my international m8...

thanks in advance

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
There is a gsm version by holy angel in the one android development forum that is for gsm, Verizon has one in their forum too. Hope that helps you.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
Had this happen to me as well. S-off, htcdev unlocked, rooted, and came from the prior 4.4.4 gpe build. I wont say for hours but enough to cause a little panic lol. The first time i flashed i ran a complete wipe(system, d. Cache, cache, and data under advance wipe option). Then wiped everything in the installer ui, in the installer i left everything default except for gps location(usa) and in the section of apps to remove i unchecked the few that were checked. That time around the install failed with i believe a bad symlinks error(could be wrong on spelling that). When i booted up that time it made it like mentioned above to the htc screen and just froze. Had to hold power and volume up to get it to power down and get it to recovery once again, took a couple times but i survived to tell the story lol. The second time i just dirty flashed, no wiping, as i seen in the thread over the existing install and left all installer options to default except for gps locations. That time everything went smooth and was able to install this awesome rom!!!:highfive:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Glewis21:
I can wait till he gets it up and fully functional I'm not rushing anyone half of us do this for fun bro
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mkuehl06:
[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] sorry for hijacking your thread with my post, but on numerous Dev threads ive seen that type of response "waaahhhh dat ROM don't boot yo" with no explanation of what they did to flash or what was their setup prior. Doesn't help anyone help them, but as funny as my post was, it probably didn't help anyone either. So hopefully if the user is having a problem, he will properly explain himself to us so we can help, because that's what XDA is here for, is to help people make their phones better.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
I've been on it since yesterday morning. With the exception of the APN fix which that app corrects, this IS fully functioning. I've tested virtually every app I have and all have worked. Its fast and stable. Installed from multiboot because I still haven't found a camera app that makes me forget sense camera.

For the one that stuck at "HTC" for a while, I had same thing happen when I didn't choose "full wipe". When I did full wipe, it booted correctly immediately. Could also have been that I chose "Active Display" LOL
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
Ok....I'm not going to guarantee this is a fix for LTE data, as I have VERY spotty LTE at my house, so I cannot fully test. It's connected to LTE with data a few times, but only momentarily (which is normal in my neighborhood). If someone with good LTE service wants to test this and let me know if it works, that'd be great

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Good work! I think you did what I was about to try today anyway. I was finally able to add the APNs to the framework-res.apk without breaking anything. I think at this point I'm going to repack the zip and upload a fresh, fully working copy.

Thanks for your input!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tuxattack80:
had to do it! lol! This ROM is awesome!!!

Thanks Devs!!! Can't wait till the release image drops!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
Good deal! Just trying to help in any way I can. This reminds me of my MoPho days and porting MIUI (having to get creative to get stuff to recompile and WORK LOL). Guess there are some ways around the aapt issue, then...just takes a lot of "outside the box" :D
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Unfortunately, it's still not FULLY working, as when I select 3G in Mobile Network settings or 1X, I lose all connection. It's not switching to EVDO properly, which I think will actually require a change in the framework. But it's better than nothing.

EDIT: I'm going to first dirty flash it and see if everything works, and then I'll clean flash it and see if there's any difference.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Th3Bill:
Since I have really good 3G where I live and great LTE where I work, if it gets between those, I'm happy :)

Almost wonder if there's a hack that can be put into one of the jars which do recompile correctly. I know on the M7 MIUI, we had to hack framework.jar, services.jar, and telephony-common.jar to get service switching working right...

Also, saw something over on apktool google thread that they have latest aapt and figure to have it working in a week or two....hopefully sooner than later :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I didn't need to hack anything for it to work on 4.4.4 - I doubt it's any different on Lollipop, since it's almost fully working already. I just need to adjust a few values in framework-res, which will be possible soon, as you mentioned.

Seems like a dirty flash breaks SuperSU, so you'll have to re-flash that if you decide to dirty flash. On a clean flash, it should be fine. I'll confirm that momentarily.

P.S. I forgot to mention that it's done uploading ;)

Remember - be on the latest (4.4.4) firmware and if you choose to dirty flash, you'll need to flash the latest SuperSU in recovery to restore root.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] huckl3b3rry:
Thanks captain. This is awesome. Just wanted to put a couple of things up that might help people trying this out. I'm on the latest Harman Kardon firmware. I have flashed this a couple of times because I tried it out before LTE was not working and didn't know Captain would have a fix so fast. Both times I flashed it I got at least one failed attempt with an error 7. If you get that don't worry, just go back into recovery and flash again with the full wipe (maybe a couple of times). Also both times when I was going through the welcome screens and it says that it is checking connections it hangs. I just did a reboot with power and volume up and then it works fine. This same thing happens if I add a new user too. Also - definitely flash Captains boot.IMG zip he stuck in a few pages back. Performance is awesome once you do that. It's a little stuttery without it. Also. I have tried just about everything I can think of and it all works - GPS, LTE, 3g, gmail and corporate outlook, multi user, smart lock (which is awesome), camera, and much more. This is my daily driver even if there were no more fixes.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] amplix:
Thanks for the repackaged zip! I just flashed it again, mobile data works! I'm so happy I can keep lollipop on there now :D
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The flashing issue should be fixed in the new zip, and it includes the updated boot.img and framework fixes already. So it should be good to go [emoji106].
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Is this the link to the newest one you have whipped up?

Edit I only ask cause I have been reading back through about 10 or so pages and saw a bunch of fixes but your last post says that you have reuploaded so I figure it is the same link cause I see no other links
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
No, it's in the post where I said I uploaded it ;).

I also realized there's an APK in the zip I forgot to remove, as I was doing some testing on trying to get some Sprint stuff working and forgot to remove it. I should probably re-upload, but I don't care enough, lol.

So if you happen to see a vDm client FC, just ignore it.
