What's the error?

Check your md5.

That should not be an issue if using the 4.02 version of the rom.

However, a simple solution that should work for you, would be to flash the included kernel.

Either flash it in recovery, from post#2 or take the boot.img from the rom zip and do this in terminal in fastboot mode:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

But this really shouldn't be an issue if your firmware is in fact up to date and you are flashing v4.02.

Only other thing would be if you were previously using the stock 4.4.3 ruu prior to this, since it has a secure boot.img which would prevent this one from flashing over it in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
I cant get into recovery. I am stuck on the HTC screen with red lettering. So i cannot flash the boot.img
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
You have to flash the boot.IMG in boot loader
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Hold power button+vol up. When phone goes to black screen to start reboot let off vol up button an hold vol down an let off power you will boot to your bootloader then you can either fastboot boot.img or return to recovery from booloader
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
how about the small dialer mod?

thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Hold power and volume up + volume down until screen goes black, then let off of the volume up. (so you are then just holding power and volume down.)

Then you should find yourself in hboot/fastboot mode.

From there, you can fastboot flash the boot.img or choose recovery and flash the flashable kernel zip from post 2.

Chances are if the boot.img did not install with the rom, then it wont with the flashable zip either, so you should probably use fastboot method.

You didn't say what rom you were coming from either, if it was stock or what. Sounds like you had a secure 4.4.3 stock boot.img previously.

The more info I have, the better I can help and also avoid these issues in the future if it's within my control at all.

Hoping to post my UnSense Rom build tonight as well, which I am really digging right now.

So it would be nice to get the install issues pinpointed, so that they don't carry over to that as well.

I really don't see why anyone would have issues with v4.02 unless you previously had a secure boot.img from a previous android version.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
ok i managed to get into recovery and flash the boot.img but i still keep getting stuck on the red text htc screen ever after reflashing? what is going on?

and i was coming from cleanrom 2.0. no ruu. just the stock firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
As I said, sounds like you have a secure boot.img.

Why are you not answering when I ask what rom you are coming from?

That information alone is so valuable, yet continually being ignored when I ask it.

You will have to fastboot flash the boot.img, recovery cannot overwrite a secure kernel.

Are you sure you flashed the right firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ahart814:
WiFi not turning on after clean flash....any ideas?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Mine works fine, no ideas why yours doesn't without a logcat and more information.

You updated your firmware to 4.4.4 I assume? ...since it booted fine.

Try wiping again and reflashing, nothing more I can suggest really as it's stock kernel and modules and working fine on my end.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Look at the last couple pages of the stock rooted rom thread.

A user with the same issue posted in there.

To fix it, he had to reflash the firmware.

I would suggest doing that and then you should be good to go.

I think some folks aren't "reflushing" when prompted to do so or are using sd card method and it's not applying the second part of the process.

The fastboot method is much more advisable in my opinion.

I can't prevent issues caused from improper or incomplete firmware flashes.

So try that and it should fix your firmware issue, as it's not a rom issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bmerrill63:
To bad a good dev is being driven away due to no effort being applied on the user end.

Looking forward to the UnSense version. I've been running CM11 for a week, just needed a change from sense.

Thanks for your efforts

*edit due to smart a$$ comment*

Since my comment was basically, well, rude I realized that my ADB knowledge is very limited and i truly wouldnt know how to pull a logcat from my phone and post it for a dev to investigate. I did some research and reading and found THIS tutorial for ADB which is very basic. In here it shows basic commands and most importantly how to pull a logcat from my device and save as a .txt file.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
Didn't know there was a two part flash in SD card . I just used one in SD card method and everything worked fine. Though I used the same file for fassltboot method and everything still worked. I winder how people are having issues I know the only issue was the boot.IMG
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
Ya, i did the sd method first and everything went well all the numbers matched, and then i did the fastboot method just to make sure i dont run into issues with new roms. After i ran all the fastboot commands, i waited a few mins and there was nothing else to do it showed everything went successful. Even in the video that is posted in that thread shows the samething.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazysane:
I have an easy question. Please look at the signature I have and tell me if I am completely updated. I just wanted to make sure since when I flashed the newest rom to 4.02 it took maybe a 30 second delay in loading. Not sure if that was due from using fastboot or not though. But since everyone has helped me learn I have kept all my notes. Only other question is when I did flash I had to reload my splash screen again which was no big deal. Is that because it was part of the ROM or did I screw up and load the stock one by mistake?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
I said in the above post. I was coming from cleanrom 2.0. and had the firmware installed but no ruu
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Guys fwiw I couldn't get the ROM to boot too until I flashed the ROM, then immediately flashed the 4.4.4 insecure kernel in post 2. Not sure why because I'm no developer although I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. YMMV.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
If after flashing the rom, it does not boot, please flash the kernel zip in post #2.

If that still doesn't work for you, then you have other issues, either your recovery or your firmware install.

That's all.

Let's please not make this thread a firmware discussion or How-to apply firmware thread.

I am happy to help with issues that are rom related, but the thread becomes a disaster every time folks have issues flashing firmware or simply flashing the rom, which I've done countless times and not once got hung up.

It's probably frustrating for those that can't get it to boot, but I truly can't make it any simpler then it already is.

(believe me, it's frustrating for me too, as I cannot reproduce this issue and flashing the kernel fixed it for most)

Flash rom, if it doesn't boot, flash kernel.

Still doesn't boot, then the issue has to be on your end.

I can't troubleshoot everyone's device and how they loaded firmware and what version they actually flashed and if they did it correctly.

As for the user that says they stated what rom they were coming from, after I asked a few times, that information was not in your post originally and was edited in, after I asked again. (just look at the quote in my response)

As I said, I think you need to reflash the 4.4.4 firmware.

If you need help with that, the firmware thread is a good place for it. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
how do i get the kernal onto the device so i can flash it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
If you have an sd card reader, that's probably the simplest way.

But adb is also an easy method.

Put device in recovery mode > Advanced > Mount > System

Then in terminal with device attached to PC:

adb push Stock-m8vzw-444-kernel_insecure.zip /sdcard/

Then simply navigate to it in recovery and flash it.

Or take the boot.img from that zip or the rom zip and place it in your fastboot/adb directory on your PC.

Then do this:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
I have done everything you said with no luck still. What am i doing wrong?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
You should have a nandroid you can install,download the kernel in zip form. Then once its on your phone, install ROM, then Before booting, flash the kernel, and it should boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] crazysane:
Ryan, are you on the internal sdcard or external? It may be located on the internal if pushed to sdcard. You might try pushing it to the sdcard2 instead. Just trying to think outside the box and offer help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
When i try pushing it to sdcard2 it says its a read only file system. when i push it to sdcard, i cant find it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Then just fastboot flash the boot.img.

No need to find anything then.

sdcard would place it in the root of your internal storage.

But if you fastboot flash the boot.img, then you eliminate needing to do anything after that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
where do i get the boot.img from
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Ryan I think I gave you the simplest way. No adb this, pushing that. I have multirom installed along with this ROM and 3 others and haven't gone near a computer and everything is perfect. I'm no trying to tell you what to do but you may cut down on ur frustration and Santods if you give it a shot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
As I said before, take it out of the kernel zip you are trying to push, or take it out of the rom zip you already flashed.

Your comment about read only file system, somewhat leads me to believe my thoughts about you having a secure boot.img....or you didn't mount the external in recovery.

But you can take it out of either zip or do what jtommyj suggested.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
sorry that i am being a pain, but even after flashing the boot.img from the kernel i downloaded just now, I am STILL stuck on the htc screen with red letters. what the heck. I have downloaded like 5 roms and installed them no problem
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
What info does your hboot show?

Can you post that info here?

I have flashed tons, and I mean a LOT of my roms, on multiple devices.

I have posted dozens of roms, and this thread for whatever reason, has more user issues then all of my other rom threads combined.

I don't get it either...

How old is your recovery?

Please update it to a current 2.8.x.x version.

You are still using an older Twrp and that very well could be the problem.

I can tell this, by your blank OS-

Download: TWRP 2.8.0.3

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3-m8_wlv.img

Then reflash the rom, and if needed fastboot the boot.img again or flash kernel in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
ok. I downloaded the .img for 2.8.0.3 but how do i push it to the system? the directions they give are not good. what do i type
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
You quoted the answer to that question. ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HOOKEDONDROID:
I'm stressed out just reading the last few pages of the thread lol...always read the ENTIRE OP and make sure you have the correct recovery installed that the dev says to use. Plus any other tricks they have posted. It may or may not have saved the hijacking of the last few pages of the thread. We should really start using the QA thread that the bot was so generous in providing for us so the Rom thread can stay on Rom things and not installation issues. My $.02
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
nvm u edited the post
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mettee:
Santod, good to see you still rockin out.

If you remember my screen from infected :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
even after installing the software in the new recovery and flashing the .img it STILL is getting hung up on the htc screen with red letters. the 0S part is blank still on the hboot screen
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
That's because now that you updated your recovery, you will need to reflash the firmware for the OS to show again in hboot.

So I would say reflash firmware, reflash rom, try to boot, before you go flashing the boot.img or kernel zip.

If it still refuses to boot, then flash the boot.img.

If you do all that and it still fails to boot, then you have me totally stumped...and that's quite a feat. :)

I assume by now, that you have checked your md5 as mentioned a few times as well, to be sure the download of the rom is complete?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
How do you check md5 when the phone can't boot?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
Flash another ROM or nandroid.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
You are checking the md5 of the file.

Mine are usually on my pc first, then I transfer to my phone.

I always download to my pc, then transfer the file to my phone.

If you downloaded straight to your phone, then it's not so simple...since you can't boot.

At this point, restore your backup you made before flashing this, but since I assume you didn't make one, then download a rom that worked for you before, and push it to your device, then flash that in recovery.

I don't think this one is going to work out for you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
but PHEW. it just booted. The only thing i did differently was to wipe, install firmware, install rom, then install boot.img. I did that before, but with the older TWRP. When i upgraded my TWRP it erased my firmware or something, so i reflashed the firmware BEFORE flashing the rom and it worked fine. thanks SO much for your help. sorry for wasting two pages of the thread
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
GOOD :highfive:

I knew if that didn't work, nothing would.

Glad to know I'm not crazy and that your phone is operational again. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MightyChigger:
I am not sure the error off hand...will run again if necessary. Also what do you mean by check my md5. Not sure what that means ....thanks for help
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
Yeah, you're not crazy. :D. Thanks so much. On a completely unrelated note, I have two simple questions. What is the best way to keep as much stuff as possible in between flashing roms? And keeping in mind i do not use xposed, would you suggest I use ART or Dalvik

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Also, I am getting the message "Gmail has stopped" over and over and over again. To the point I cant press anything else.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
If you aren't gonna use Xposed, I would say utilize Art.

As far as keeping stuff between ROM flashes, I don't advise it personally.

There are plenty of threads discussing Titanium Backup and Helium.

But its my experience and opinion, that restoring or not wiping data between ROMs, causes more trouble then its worth.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

[/COLOR]Also, I am getting the message "Gmail has stopped" over and over and over again. To the point I cant press anything else.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, I'll use ART then. Any fixes for this ^. The gmail problem. its so strange
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
It's the leaked Gmail from Lollipop and works fine for me.

There isn't much you can do about that at this point, except to reflash the rom, making sure to go into advanced wipe and wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache, then flash the rom.

I am gonna take a wild guess and assume you did not wipe data and/or system prior to flashing...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ryan829:
I did wipe prior to flashing. But it seems the gmail has settled down now. I guess it just freaked out. lol. Thanks though. You are a saint. I went ahead and "thanked" all the posts that you posted helping me. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
See my post somewhere within the last page or two, with a link to Twrp.

I am guessing you are on an older version if it gave you an error.

You can also check the md5 as well, to be sure the download was good.

Sorry, too tired to explain this and it's already been posted many times on the web and forums, so I will cheat and link you to an existing explanation on checking the file integrity.

Btw...reflashed firmware last night and all is good...

What's weird is it was showing old firmware after specifically seeing new firmware prior to flashing Rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ahart814:
I now have a different problem...when I reboot phone....it is rebooting directly into twrp....when I reboot goes right back into twrp yet when booting doesn't say entering recovery as it normally would when that happens....can someone make a suggestion? I cannot boot into the OS
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Try: fastboot erase cache

May have to reflash to latest twrp if not on it already.

Then reflash ROM.

This is likely a side effect from doing the firmware update after flashing the rom., or a twrp issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ahart814:
just tried it...same problem...any other thoughts?

How's battery life doing so far?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pututbawono:
I thought that due to special kernel you cooked for this rom, some "pur stock" experience is needed. In previous rom, I also used sense toolbox without activating the custom wake gestures and I have no problem with the stock gestures. But in your rom, using stock gestures is a bit problematic as it is sometimes fail to register my gestures. I thought that this is caused by your custom s2s/s2w (the one that swipe over the navbar, not the stock swipe up/down/left/right gesture), that's why I said maybe you could deactivate that feature.

Or do I still get this wrong? :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gchild320:

Add me to the list for wake gestures.. they have worked fine all day and all the sudden they stopped.. rebooted several times, turned off system wake gestures and tried sense6 toolbox, still same problem... Weird. Haptic feedback works so it's recognizing the command.
