NBD. Really, I just grabbed yours to see if you did anything different with radio stuff...I'm curious if anybody running yours has issues with signal strength.

Additionally, in going though your frameworks, I see you've added a native implementation for torch. I have a dotview case that I use with the xposed mod. The xposed dotview mod has an option to toggle torch, but it doesn't work with GPE, specifically because there's no native implementation of torch. So, I'm wondering if yours ROM works with this feature of the dotview mod. I'll have to try it out. :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
Signal strength seems about the same as your build. I'm on Wifi 95% of the time but watching the data signal, it will drop to zero at times the same way it does on your build. When turning WiFi off my data does not seem to be dropping despite what the signal says at times. I was able to download this rom via data and it worked fine. Never had your build totally drop out either. Again, I'm 95% WiFi and not a heavy data user so YMMV.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Cant wait to try this rom. I tried installing the audiophile version but keep getting stuck at the powered by android screen. I made sure to triple check the md5 and download it from various mirrors. Is the md5 posted the same as the one tested by mike?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
Yes it is..you wait long enough? I've had about a dozen testers with no issues
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
I waited around 10 minutes, but I'll reflash and leave it for much longer. Hate to be "that guy" with the phantom issue that nobody ever has:crying:. Sorry bout that.

Cant Get Past Boot Animation

I've tried flashing this rom three times with three different downloads and it won't boot. I'm using cam and did a clean full wipe install....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
Actually a pm would have been the more professional way..but okay...

Sense and gpe has different icons and setup..the only real way to test is by #'s actually testing it rather than looking at the icons itself..it should measure out to be the same or real close...it's the same as gsm sense vs gsm gpe ...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kendall316:
I redownloaded the art version. Wiped 3 times and still same thing. I flash, it flashes pretty quick like within 10 seconds and it says successful. I reboot, and it is if I just flashed viper again. I'm kinda confused
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
You checking the md5 after downloading to make sure all is well? Also if you're going back to the ROM viper.. You're not full wiping..wipe system and data
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] somerandomguy1:
About 10 minutes and counting for me, too. I'll let it go for a bit and see what happens.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mademan420:
FLashed audiophile version and I was at bootani in less than a minute.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
I should have been more clear. Under Settings->About->Status Signal Strength is what I'm looking at. I know the bars mean nothing. Both GPE ROM's seem to be about the same. Even CF was less than Sense. Sense appears to have a stronger signal in the exact same spot in my house. When on Sense I could get 15-20 meg down and 5-8 up. On both DH and this ROM I get 5-10 down and 3-5 up.

This is the fastest booting ROM I have tried for the M8 so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ludeboy:
This happens to me too. Happens on all the GPE ROMs so far. Data does cut off for a second because I was loading up a web page and it went into the "reload" button screen. It's a minor annoyance but if DH or jaydee can fix this, these GPE ROMs will rule the world.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
How long should the Sinless bootscreen be up and churning? Been at least 10 min now. I'm using TWRP 2.7.0.2 and all ROMS except GPE flash fine. Doing everything just like I have been for years. Full wipe and these Roms will just not flash correctly.....any ideas?? MD5 and file size check out fine , flashing from internal storage.

Restoring Nandroid of skyfall now.....I wish I could figure out whats going on. This is aggravating lol!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 4freese:
Yes a fix for this would be great. I love the ROM otherwise.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
What firmware are you on? You s-on or s-off? Maybe try updating your firmware...also a log would help
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TotallyAnxious:
So I just got my phone all s-offed and everything. Installed philz and when I try to reboot to the rom after flashing to rom it just continues to go to fasboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
You flash something else like a different kernel? Or possibly a bad download..check your md5
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TotallyAnxious:
Nope, I'll try redownloading. If that doesn't work I'll just switch to twrp

http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/fix-soft-bricked-htc-one-by-flashing-new-rom-via-adb-0154361/ so I tired this but it still boots back to fast boot. I did wipe the system by accident. Any ideas?

This should fix it, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2727831. I'll report back.

Yeah it fixed it. Sorry for so many posts. HTC is totally different from Samsung.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
I'm unlocked and S-Off. I bet you're right. I'm on stock firmware. I was holding off because I thought I read some people were having trouble with the new Radio's. I guess I'll have to go ahead and upgrade if I wan to Play lol! Ya know, I've never generated (or whatever the term is) a log. How do I do that?? BTW I was trying to flash the audiophile version. Thanks!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Now that I've had time to look I'm on Baseband 0.89.20.0321. Is this current? I only see one thread showing any info about Radio/Firmware in here.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jay8302:
Yes
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
This is really weird then. I can't think of anything else that might be causing me to have so much trouble flashing these GPE Roms. Scotts never looked right while it was flashing and sort of rebooted on it's own after appearing to be stuck bit it wound up installing ok in the end. I had problems with it later and I always attributed them because I was using ART. Maybe ART wasnt my problem after all. Digitalhigh's ROM gave me some trouble too but I don't recall exactly what it was. I was tryin to install the Audiophile version here on this one.

Can anyone think of anything else??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 4freese:
I had these problems with my wife's M8. I tried cleanrom first and it would just boot to bootloader, the TN version of sinless 3.5.0 did the same thing. Then I installed 3.4.8 and it worked fine. I cannot explain it and have not figured it out either. She never used Art either.

Also, I know the downloads are good as I use them on my M8 with no problems. Very weird stuff.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dcox28:
I have similar issue. The first rom I installed on my Verizon m8 was DH's GPE rom. It installed fine but once the sinless rom became available for Verizon I flashed it to see what it was like, again no issues. I then wanted to try to go back to DH's and try his latest 7/17 beta version and tried numerous clean wipes and it installs fine but will not get past the boot animation screen, just get the 4 colored dots spinning for over 15 minutes and never boots. I am using CWM and not TWRP. I've never had any issues before but not able to go back to the DH GPE rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] buckmarble:
Do you manually wipe all the partitions before flashing?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dcox28:
I do. I wipe manually, data, dalvik, cache and system. I also use philz custom CWM so then I select full wipe to install new rom and it does it all again. Then in DH's rom it is an aroma installer so I select full wipe in there also. So I'm basically doing 3 full wipes and have never had any issues except with the 7/17 beta build by DH. All his other versions installed fine and booted for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Same here....I have no idea whats going on. Latest Firmware/Radios, S-off, unlocked, TWRP 2.7.0.2 manual wipes and default resets (multiple wipes) and still all this trouble. I just don't get it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shamestick:
Have you tried twrp 2.7.1.0?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
No, I know it's there but on some of these other ROM's threads a lot of people are having trouble with it and reverting back to the one I'm on. Has it worked OK for you and have you been successful with GPE ROM's?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scott45333:
I have never had a single issue with it. Been using 2.7.1.0 since it came out and its always worked perfectly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
I'll give it a shot. Funny, lol! Scott.....I was just reading a post over on "Scott's" thread where he was having trouble with it bootlooping.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scott45333:
The only time I ever had a bootloop issue was my fault. Wasn't paying attention and flashed a GSM kernel. Easy fix, just flashed a correct kernel and all was good.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shamestick:
I haven't had a problem with it and have flashed gpe Roms on both 2702 and 2710, you may as well give it a shot
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Just flashed it...Will see what happens here shortly.

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

Well, thats not the problem. Same deal with this ROM and DH's....IDK

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Flashed SF 2.6 just fine so it's definitely GPE ROM's only.I'll keep digging and eventually figure out whats wrong...I hope.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
Get me a log and I'll take a look
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Dangit LOL!! Doing a Nandroid.....Can you tell me how to get the log? Ive never done it before. I'll reflash if you can tell me what to do. I appreciate it! It would be nice to try and figure out whats going on.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Thanks Jaydee.....This is something I need to learn how to do anyway. I've been doing this for years and have made it without having to touch ADB until I got this M8. I followed the directions to Root it and Get S=off and unlocked but thats as far as I've got with it. I'll have to install the full SDK package. Thanks again!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Sounds to me, like you have a secure kernel/boot.img currently that's not allowing any others to overwrite it.

So you are getting mismatched kernel for the rom you are stuck on and thus not booting.

Have you tried fastboot flashing the boot.img?

Basically, I think you need to get off that secure boot and try not to get back on it. :)

So that would explain why flashing any Sense rom works/boots for you, but others do not.

As that existing kernel likely works on any Sense rom you've flashed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
All my kernels are insecure
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Thanks Santod, I don't think I know enough to mess with ADB at this point unless I had a video. The link Jaydee posted for me just above is a users guide. I guess I need to learn how to use ADB. All I have on my PC is a basic package that allowed me to Do the weaksauce/ Firewater deal. That the only time I've used ADB. I've flashed hundreds of ROMS over the past 7 or 8 years and never once touched it. Now it's biting me in the ass lol. I DL'd the Boot.Img from your site but I'm going to have to setup the full ADB package before I can do anything. I wish I could just flash it in recovery!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I'm sure yours is, I never doubted that. :)

But if the one he has on his device now isn't(stock vzw kernel), then yours will not overwrite it.

And due to the commandline being the same on all sense roms, it will continue to boot Sense roms, even if it doesn't get overwritten by the one included in said Sense rom.

Until he fastboot flashes an insecure boot.img, he will continue to have that secure sense boot.img, which will never boot a GPE or Aosp based rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
Sooooo what if he loads a sense rom would he then be able to flash a sense kernal after the rom is set up. Or will that not work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
The whole problem is, that you can't just flash a kernel over a secure one in recovery, he needs to use fastboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Thats exactly what I was sitting here wondering. I'm not at home and I'll have to wait until tomorrow to setup ADB.....Wish there was a way around this for now anyway.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
Ah gotcha.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Gotcha!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] buckmarble:
Insecure or not, if he is flashing a boot IMG the one previously on there will have nothing to do with it. The insecure boot IMG will only apply to kernels being flashed in an any kernel format with only a zimage in the zip and utilizing the split and make boot binaries in recovery during the flashing process.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Just to add something. I flashed Scott's latest and it was weird too (Obviously not GPE) but it did flash (Although something didn't look right and it shut down) and I was able to set it up. It was never stable though. I was using ART and I thought that was my problem. Does his ROM have anything you see that would make since out of what y'all are saying here?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I disagree, but this is getting way off topic now and I've experienced this myself, that's how I'm familiar with the problem and the solution.

A secure rom(write protected) and a secure kernel on the m8, will not get overwritten in recovery when flashing a new kernel.

Until you have a rom loaded without write protection and an insecure kernel, you will continue to have that same kernel.

Whether it's the secure rom, or the secure boot.img, they will both cause you issues when trying to flash things through recovery.

If I'm wrong, then his phone is just whacked! (I seriously doubt this is the case)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brymaster5000:
Just to add my two cents: there isn't such a thing as an insecure or secure kernel. There is an insecure or secure boot.img. The Rom security will not affect the flashing of an insecure boot.img as the room is on an entirely different partition. Furthermore, if you have a boot.img zipped up with an edify script that properly mounts and extracts the insecure boot.img, it will overwrite the secure one. It does not have to be done in fastboot. This is how you can flash a custom Rom over a stock secure one.

Sent from my Lunar Ecliptic One.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Technically it's the ramdisk, not the boot.img or the kernel, if we wanna split hairs.

BUT,....... the rom isn't installing a stand alone zimage, as Sense cmdline wont work here, it's installing a boot.img and it's evidently not overwriting his current one.

You guys can dream up whatever solutions you want for it.

I was just trying to help with the easiest solution for the problem he seems to continue to have.

Wasn't intended to be a who knows what contest and again, it's gotten way off track for this thread.

Let's just end this discussion here out of respect for the OP and all things good.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
I'm gonna pm you tomorrow morning with my ROM zipped up with a new binary and updater-script that should solve your issue

It's time to just jump in and start using it.

Unfortunatlely it's not working. It's doing the same thing that all of these GPE 4.4.4 ROMS do it will go to the Bootscreen after install and it just sits there churning away. ON DH's and another it will just shut down after a couple minutes. I'm begging to wonder if the OTA I took didnt update my firmware and only updated my radio's. Current Baseband is showing. I cant freaking DL the Android SDK either. The one on Developer.android .com just times out with a network error and it's them not me lol! I have a Standalone with Fastboot capabilities on my PC but I can't RUU so I cant try and flash firmware unless you know of a recovery flashable file somewhere. IDK.....I appreciate your help but I'm just stuck. Back to a Nandriod I guess.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mrjaydee82:
Here's the link for SDK http://developer.android.com/tools/help/sdk-manager.html ...I would update that firmware ...something isn't quite right with your device
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

Thats the link I was using BTW.....It fails every time. Just my luck. I can DL anything else so they must be having trouble. I also noticed it's 354MB so they must have added a bunch of stuff. I was under the impression that the file size was a lot smaller than that. Anyway, Working toward getting SDK tool and full ADB on here when it will let me
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dcox28:
This is probably a dumb question but I am running this ROM and not certain how to tell what version of firmware I'm on. Baseband shows 0.89.20.0321 and build number just shows sinless audiophile v3.5.0. I see the threads to update firmware but not sure if I need to
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
That's sort of my point. The Baseband relects only the Radio's AFAIK. I'm not sure there is a way to tell what firmware your on. I asked the same question yesterday and thats what I was told anyway. You are showing current radios from what I was told yesterday. I'm showing the same. If there was a way to check it would certainly help my headache.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

Fraking Chrome (On two different PC's) was what the DL problem was. I opened IE and it's downloading now. So, I'll get that installed and configured then Flash my Firmware/Radios (Even though my BB shows current) and maybe that will fix this.

partitions

I searched through here and could not find the answer. The answer is probably here though, it's just I have a limited knowledge of Android.

I'm s-off unlocked and am running newest LiquidSmooth. I've read about these GPe ROMs messing up partitions. Do you think I will have trouble

with partitions with this ROM? I generally wipe in TWRP and then install the ROM.

Thank you for your patience and help.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dcox28:
I rooted and s-off'd my M8 the day it came out. I have been on this ROM for while and just noticed that when I try to run an app that needs root access it says my rom isn't rooted. Is there an easy fix for this?

Edit - I think I'm losing root at the end of installation on this ROM. I remember it asks something about this will load stock recovery at the very end and to select yes or no. I always choose no, should I be choosing yes?

Edit ** I figured it out. Sorry for the idiotic post.

When you say "My" Boot.img do you mean the one thats currently on the device or do you want me to pull one out of a ROM that we know is an insecure img?? Also if you do mean the one on my device where is it so I can find it?? I have Flashify on my device. Very handy, use it a lot.
