[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
I've been where you are! It's a little daunting finding all the information and getting it sorted.

You will have to do your own reading and do lot of it, but here's a little summary to get you pointed in the right direction.

The only known root method for the M8 is WEAKSAUCE. It provides temp root, meaning you loose root with each reboot but the app will re-root the phone automatically about 30 sec after booting. Servicable but not very elegant.

Root with Weaksauce is a pre-requisite to everything below.

If you want permanent root and/or run a custom rom on this phone you have to S-off, unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery (in that order).

For S-off and bootloader unlock (accomplished at the same time) there are two methods:

FIREWATER: free, but does not work on all M8s. Try it - it'll either work or fail. Follow the instructions on the Firewater website to the letter

SUNSHINE: from the same devs that made Firewater, guaranteed to work on all M8s and it'll cost you $25. Well worth it in my opinion.

Once you have S-off and an unlocked bootloader you can install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (I recommend the former). Find instructions on the respective websites.

Once you have the custom recovery installed, you can

- flash SuperSU for permanent root

- make a nandroid (total system backup or image) of your stock rom or any rom you have currently installed

- flash a custom rom

This should get you started. Read everything three times, ask twice, flash once.

Edit: Could you do me a favor? Change the title of your thread to something like: Step-by-Step instructions for rooting/roming the M8?

It would make it easier to find for users in a similar situation.

I'm in a similar situation but in my case I have cwm but can't switch recovery or even upgrade it, and flashing roms doesn't stick.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Are you able to boot in recovery? (home + vol up + power) - You could just reflash from there.

Do you know what you formatted in recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheAccomplisher:
I can get to recovery and download mode but I'm on stock recovery and can't flash anything. I must have formatted /system or /data
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Have you tried flashing a custom recovery through Odin?

Also, if you're on 4.4.4, chances are that your bootloaders are on 4.3+. You'll need the MJB (4.3) or NE4 (4.4.2) stock to flash through Odin.

Downgrading bootloaders will result in a brick, therefore it's a good thing it's not going through!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheAccomplisher:
I flashed TWRP and got a pass but every time I get into recovery mode I just get a black screen.

Where can I get NE4?

Since I'm on 4.4.4 I already have the MJB right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
I think so but you only can be sure if you updated your bootloaders to 4.3 (or up to the new NE4 4.4.2).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheAccomplisher:
All right thanks I'll have to try it in a couple hours
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
The error at aboot.mbn tells me you have the 4.3 bootloader on your phone. By trying to flash a stock Samsung ROM in Odin means Odin will try and downgrade the bootloader to an older version which cannot be done once you are on a stock 4.3 bootloader. Don't keep using Odin to flash a stock Samsung ROM as it may brick your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] donutkidd:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ubiquill:
I use keepassX to manage my passwords, but clip tray prevents the passwords from being cleared completely. I can manually clear them, but it's a huge pain. Is there anyway to disable clip tray? Solutions that require root are fine.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinmas:
Agreed - I tried to get an answer from LG electronics support and they couldn't help either. This is a huge security issue since the passwords can persist, even a reboot.

I found some old posts for the LG G2 that there apparently was some option available under Settings -> Security that allowed you to set a timer for the phone to clear out the "clip tray". Although, I can't find anything that suggests a way to do this in the LG G3 documentation on their website, and no one I talked to at their support had any idea what I was talking about.

They're convinced it's a feature that all the passwords I've saved from my LastPass account are visible and in the clear. :eek:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGs:
I also agree. It's annoying to have to open another app just to get a text box and clear it. Anyone found a solution for this? Thanks for the help.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O2-XDAndroid:
LG Clip Tray - annoying message "Copied to clip tray"

I am using an LG G Pad 8.3 where this "Clip Tray" also exists.

The "Copied to clip tray" message when taking screenshots is a real annoyance when taking multiple screenshots because the message appears after a few seconds and takes time to fade out.

If not waiting long enough after each screenshot, the message (white letters in a black box) will be visible in each image.

Does anyone know how to disable/suppress that message?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stonefoz:
My new phone is an LG, having found out about cliptray has also worried me. If you have ROOT, search for "cliptray.db" and "cliptray.db-journal". Mine was in directory, "/data/data/com.lge.systemservice/databases/".

Delete both these files and then make two directories with the same names. A file and a directory can't have the same name, and the cliptray doesn't know how to remove directories.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needurgenthelp:
Hi, guys, it's currently 1:36AM and I am ripping my hair out and I'm on the brink of crying because I think my HTC One M8 is bricked.

I successfully rooted my device a few hours ago and I managed to flash a GPE Rom. A notification told me to update to 4.4.3 and because of my stupidity I clicked install and it brought me to the Team Win Recovery Project v2.7.0.2 again (the page with the install, wipe, backup, restore, mount button etc). I panicked and tried the same procedure to flash my rom by wiping everything but the problem was... the GPE zip file was not there. I don't even know if I made a backup of the original sense os.

I don't have anything. I don't have the custom ROM, I don't have my sense ROM and I feel hopeless. I'm sorry for getting so emotional but I feel so confined and trapped and I seriously don't know what to do, tears are actually drenching my face.

Please, if anybody could help, I would be so so so thankful... I'm a novice and I barely know anything so really specific steps would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for reading and thank you again for helping in advance.

Power the phone off, turn on with power+vol down, use volume keys and power button to navigate in hboot. Go to recovery. There you can use sideload to put any ROM onto the device.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needurgenthelp:
Thank you very much! Just a few more questions but the person in the video says to flash TWRP in the command lines but what if I already have TWRP? Can I just skip that step? And I have something called **TAMPERED** on top of my boot loader, is that dangerous?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfsykhang:
Yes you can skip that step and tampered on top of boot loader is normal don't worry about it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needurgenthelp:
Thank you so much again!!! I'm just waiting for this SDK to install so I can run the ADB shell! Hopefully this works. I will be flashing the GPE rom, hopefully there is no problem with that?

Alright. If you are able to flash the ROM and it boots up make sure to make a backup just in case something like this happens again
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needurgenthelp:
After you check off wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache and slide to start sideload, can you start flashing ROMS during that process? Or do you have to wait until the wiping finishes?

Wait until the wiping finishes then adb sideload

Also If you have an external sd card, you can simply put a rom on that using an sd card reader and your PC. and flash the rom from your external SD :good:

Thank you! I'm sorry for so many questions but when you open the cmd.exe, can you open it anywhere or does it have to be in the actual platform-tools file?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exocetdj:
Via recovery of course.

This has helped me many times.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

1, if you can boot into recovery, great

2, if you have an external sd with card reader for PC, great

3, power phone off and take out sd, and using card reader, put rom on external sd

4, re-insert sd card into phone and reboot into recovery using power and volume down and in hboot screen go to recovery.

5, to make sure, do a full wipe of system, data anc cache/dalvik cache

6, flash desired rom and reboot

7, should have worked and saves time not messing around with adb sideloading
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needurgenthelp:
Thank you Exo! I shall do this right away! Although a SD card is needed first.

And regarding the wiping and sideloading, wtfsykhang, isn't the operation together? If you go into advanced, you have to option to clear cache and clear Dalvik cache and you start that by sliding the sideloading slider.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfsykhang:
O yea lol my bad. Just do that and then flash
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exocetdj:
Not sure about TWRP, think you are correct, go to advanced and select all but sd contents and you are good to go, but I cannot stress how valuable this gift of an external sd is lol!!!

I am on philz recovery and it has an option to wipe to flash a new rom and its great,

If you get an sd, this should be really simple as flashing a rom will reinstate your system etc and you can go from there.

let me know how it goes.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needurgenthelp:
I selected clear cache and clear Dalvik cache. I slided the slider that started the sideloading.

Is there something I need to wait for? Like for it to finish? Or can I just go on with the procedure and write down commands in my cmd.exe?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfsykhang:
Yes just type in adb sideload blablah.zip
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needurgenthelp:
I wrote adb sideload Desktop/gpe4.zip but that didn't work

I also tried adb sideload gpe4.zip but that didn't work either...

Any ideas?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exocetdj:
Lol this is why i gave up on sideloading

I was in your position a few months back and spent an evening trying to save the damn thing. All you need is a 2gb sd card and reader, it may seem a pain having to get it but more than pays for itself if you find yourself in this position again
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfsykhang:
Make sure you are in the platform tools folder. Then hold shift and right click and select open command window here. After that put adb sideload gpe.zip

Also to check if adb is working type adb devices and check if your device shows up. (I.e F283920 device)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Needurgenthelp:
Should I close the cmd.exe and start all over?

How to install:p

1.Now you need to Boot into Recovery . You can use an App like QuickBoot or you can use the Physical Button Combination of Volume Down + Power – to boot into recovery.

2.Now that we are in recovery , choose Install Zip and navigate to the file we just downloaded

3.Hit on Flash and you will have an AROMA installer.

4.If you are able to comprehend the otpion you see – make your choices – else it is better to leave it at the Default options and Hit Next until you are in the final Install screen.

5.In the final screen make sure – Wipe Dalvik Cache After Installation is Checked. Now hit on Install.

6.Now when your Reboot – Head to Settings and choose Home as your launcher.:good:enjoy :silly:

First of all thanks for the people making these Roms, really appreciate the time and effort put into this. :good:

I recently installed a ROM on my s4 mini, (([ROM][4.4.4][GT-I9195/I9190] - AOSP : Enjoy the Nexus Experience)), everything is working great except the BT.

Hey folks, I'm flashing a new ROM on my buddies S5 tomorrow. He's going from an original release of OMEGA, to the latest Alliance.

But I'd really like to find him a touch wiz ROM that has an AOSP UI like the one in my signature has for the Note 3.

You can use AOSP xposed mods on it, like GravityBox. And some of his favorite theming options depend on AOSP.

But as we all know, the real AOSP ROM's aren't doing so well yet. :eek:

I'm not asking for the best ROM, so please don't close the thread.
