OK then, did you try both GPE ROMs for the vzw variant? Download the newest version of sinlessrom and wipe advanced (cache, dalvik cache, data & system) in TWRP.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Already tried...Various Roms, various versions, 2 versions of TWRP (As stated) Aroma, non Aroma...They all just sit there and churn away on the boot screen or power down the device. I always wipe in that fashion
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
Man I'm out of ideas, I really want to help but can't think of anything. I'll still look and see if I can find anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
I really appreciate your help. Santod and me went back and forth via PM a few times and JayDee modified his Rom for me and now you. IDK....I'm dumbfounded. If you think of anything let me know. I'll just stay on AOSP for now. Always liked Cyanogen's stuff anyway, just never even thought about them since their ROMS are not in the forums. They used to be for my various other phones. Never really though about them not being on XDA until we did this just now. Thanks again for you time and help!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
Yeah cm11 is what I'm currently using, it recently had a speakerphone issue but its been fixed since 7/30. The only AOSP ROMs that have incorporated the fix are cm11, liquidsmooth & aokp. Here is the section for all the aosp ROMs they are universal so means 1 zip for all HTC One M8 variants.

Have you tried a RUU?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
What do you mean? I put the phone in RUU when when flashing the firmware with ADB??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] young0ne:
it put stock back on the phone just like it was new out of box. it re installs everything from factory.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] makova:
Thanks!

GNU con Linux
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
Did you try viperone ? Or maybe bad seed tranquil 8 ? Another one of the better roms is cleanrom which is pretty much stock, the first two are easiest to customize especially viperone 1.8
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
I tried Viperone and liked it. I didnt have any problems flashing it. I did have issue's with Cleanrom though. It hung up on the Trimming Files command and shut down. I also had the exact same thing happen today on Santods Nusense ROM. it hung in the exact same spot and shut down after a few minutes. I pressed power afterward and it appeared to boot up properly and I didn't have anything weird happen until I started trying to luse some of the utilities that it came with. They needed Root access, I checked and I lost Root. I wiped it and Flashed Dirty Unicorns AOSP ROM. Sticking with it for a little while.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I think I had this issue about a month back, it has something to do with TWRP. Try flashing CWM recovery and trying again. May be a little buggy with Aroma installers but should/might solve you problem.

(@GPE problem)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
There are no reported issues with twrp I have been running twrp 2.7.1.0 on 3 different verizon m8's with not a single issue. You can check you will see that twrp is the smoothest running recovery with the least amount of bugs of any recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Yeah, I've ran into issues before where I wasn't on a current enough version of TWRP and it caused problems. Once I updated all was fine. I'm having this issue Aroma or not. DH's ROM is the only GPE ROM thats using an Aroma installer and I'm having the issue with non aroma ROMS also. I'll probably Install CWM a little later and see if it helps but I'm about flashed out for right now lol!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Yep, I agree. I was on 2.7.0.2 and moved up to 2.7.1.0 just to be sure that wasnt the problem. One thing I didnt mention in the post above is that the Dev's (OP's) of these ROMs are all recommending TWRP. Sooooooo the's obviously a good reason.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
Exactly they all recommend twrp. If your going to not run twrp, instead of cwm I would think phils would be better its a modified cwm recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
i would try the RUU, the one posted here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2727831

once you download it, verify the MD5 with a MD5 calculator.

Then place it on the root of your externalSD and boot into HBOOT, then it will do its thing. its already rooted so you dont need to worry. I actually had a similar problem about a month ago with an AOSP rom screwing up one of my partitions, this fixed it, then i went back to being able to do what i wanted again. hope this helps
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
I'll give it a try if reformatting the external SD card doesn't work (Which i dont think it will because I have removed it and tried to install GPE ROM's)

I'm pretty sure vfat is a problem though. Needs to be addressed before I try anything from my external storage.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
you should just be able to format the SD card properly through your rom
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Yeah, TWRP will format the card in FAT, ext2,3 or 4. I'm talking about fixing my GPE flashing problem by process of elimination.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] aer0zer0:
yea, get your SD card in order, then try the RUU, but check it with a MD5 checker prior to placing in the root of your SD
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Will do! Thanks....I always check MD5 checksums. Been bit by too many corrupt DL's lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mashk:
Install CWM for verizon M8. All ROMS flash fine for me
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Tried already, I tried Phils no different. I'm hoping the RUU thing will do the trick but I haven't had time yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Well, from the sounds of it you may have a corrupt data partition...

This is gonna hurt some but here is what I would try...

0. Have ADB and CleanROM at the ready. We are going to Sideload it!

1. Back up anything on the phone you plan to save, Pics, Music, etc...

2. Format the data partition. Not factory reset, but the entire data partition. This will wipe user data.

3. Reboot to recovery via the menu to unmount anything that shouldnt be mounted.

4. Set back light time out on TWRP to max (5 minutes) and while the rom is flashing occastionall just touch the screen. I dont want twrp to time out the back light.

4. Adb sideload CleanROM. If you dont know how to do that I can help..

If it fails... Go to Advanced and hit "Copy Log to SD" and then post that log.

If it doesnt give any errors then post that fact as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Sounds good...Take a look at your PM's and see if that Getvar all looks ok while I'm DLing the ROM

Also...I have never sideloaded anything lol!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
About 15 min left on DL
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Get var looks fine...

Do you have a Micro SD card? If so we can do that instead of side load.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Yes, I dont need anything on it. I pulled it out because some people were having touble with them in. Should I format it and if so what format? I'll have to do it with TWRP? Dont have a adapter handy
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
I would format with TWRP, then go back to current ROM and copy the file over to the SD Card. Then procede
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
FAT??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Should be fine for less than 32 gigs
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
OK...will format in FAT and then move ROM to EXT sd card. It may take me a while to do that other stuff. Ive never messed with a lot of those features in TWRP
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Dont worry its easy
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Dangit.....I did the RUU so my system was basically wiped anyway but I did a nandroid afterward and forgot about saving it. Formatting data partition now
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
This format is taking a long time. I would have thought a solid state 32GB would format pretty quick??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
That's what I was worried about. I'm wondering iffy the data partition is actuality bad. This may tell us.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Its still going and there is no blue progress bar moving....just that spinning bar
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Just let it go...

I will be back in a bit.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Why would AOSP stuff and ROMS like Skyfall load with no probs if the partition is bad??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Not sure... Makes no sense. But we will see
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Still going...partition must be bad or something. No way it should take this long.

I could shoot myself for not moving that Nandroid over to the ext sd card.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Still going............................Should I just power down the phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Scott, You have no idea how much I appreciate your help. I have to go though. I have a dinner/business meeting in like 5 minutes. I RUU'd the phone back just now as it's the only phone I have. Any possible way we can continue with this tomorrow sometime? I would appreciate it. It appears the RUU image is working fine.....this is some weird s^#t....Thanks again and if you're still willing to help tomorrow that would be great!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Vcek:
1. Did you

update the firmware

(hboot and mainly) to the suggested one by the GPE rom maker, on santod's thread he said

latest one

?

2. Did you wipe /system, /cache, /data before flashing the rom ?

3. Are you S-OFF and

re-flash twrp

from the bootloader

?

4. Did you flash the boot.img

in the bootloader

? (this one can be extracted from the rom.zip)

5. Does your phone have this code "0P6B200" written on the back below the FCC logo ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Yeah. That is weird. Real weird. Send me a pm.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Yes to all these. However the sticker is gone, I removed it. A fastboot getvar all shows modelid: 0P6B20000 so yes to all.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Vcek:
its below the sticker its printed on the body in tiny text
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Hmmm. I don't see anything but the "getvar all" log reflects that's the model ID so I would say that's what the device is. It was purchased from a corporate Verizon store here in Fl.

I see what you're saying now. Mine is at the very bottom of the phone. My sticker was up top. It matches the getvar log.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Did you try with stock recovery? The Wipe yet?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
No, Just now getting home. I'll give it a shot tomorrow (today lol) around noon. Ill post what happens. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Just to make sure you give it a fair shake do it in the exact order I spelled out in the other thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
I've been tied up lately and haven't had time to mess with this issue I have. It appears that my Data partition is corrupt. Is this partition encrypted or not accessible? Surely there is a way to repair or replace it with an image from a another phone?? I would love to get this thing corrected so I can play. I'm severely hamstrung on what ROM's I can run. Does anyone know if I can fix my Data partition????? Thanks!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Try flashing the ruu again and put a -w at the end of the flash zip command.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duckman_UF:
Thanks dottat.I'll try that this week sometime. I'm running King Kang right now and it flashed fine. One thing that I've noticed is is I cant do a nandroid of any AOSP/KP ROM they all fail at "Mounting data partition" I guess this further verifies what my problem is. I guess lol!
