When I showed her the how/what/why of S-off she didn't want that done to my old phone. I've seen your M7 ROM there.

I'd set up an APN a couple years ago running CM on a 1X to improve connectivity. The "nextgen" APN of late still has unspecified for the bearer. We will miss calls sometimes and/or don't have great internet connectivity here on the south side if I don't set up a new 4G bearer specified APN. I did even install the 11-11 build to see if your tweaking had helped.

Never mentioned it here because my tweak took care of it for us, but when it reverts it's similar to what razieltov mentioned. Now if I'm in one of the proper zip codes (higher tax bills) or towards downtown it's not as bad, just here in the 1960's suburbs it's not great. Oh and yeah we do have towers close by, the one 1/4 mi away doesn't do crap for us, the one 2/3 mi away towards the other way gets us great connectivity when we're near it. Noticed it since I first got a nokia in 1998, especially since I moved here in `03

Was just busting ya chops about rom,but apn...none of them have a bearer,not stock or custom...but if it works for you great,im in a 1950's mountain home area.. use the included apns and dont have any issies with signal...??
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] swapgut:
..........ahhh he11, we're actually having pork chops tonight! Keep us posted on what you're working on WNC.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] razieltov:
No its not a bluetooth issue. It would happen when not using bluetooth. I did a hard reset and everything seems to work now. I don't know why it wasn't before.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Glad it has been resolved

Does the OP contain the firmware needed for AT&T phones to flash the new ROMs based on 4.4.4?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Only if s-off...all firmwares and roms are in op along with flashing instructions for both.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] badbwoydes:
I dunno why i'm so clueless with this when i've modded the crap out of my One X, including Jellybean Firmware. I have done everything else with this phone, including S-OFF.

All I want is the latest Firmware for my AT&T One M8 flashed and out of the way, so I can flash Viper 3.1 ROM or any other Android v4.4.4. The instructions show both ROM and firmware then using Xposed and so on. Do I have to still do all that even though i'll be using a different ROM? I just expect the instructions for flashing the Firmware alone would be less.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Find and download the 3.28.1540.5 ruu, then youll be up to date with us variant of this device, my firmware in the rom package will not serve your purpose
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Hey wonders....I'm on latest 5.0 firmware. Im gpe converted. Can I simply just flash 3.28.1540.5, or is there more to it ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
I believe you have to convert back to sense as the partitions are different
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Well 3.28.1540.5 is a DE sense ROM correct ? Would having a GPE MID matter ? I'm superCID
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] badbwoydes:
Okay. Or I could just probably do this, right? http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048

That post took care of my issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
If you dont want to follow suggested advice and want to take that route then do what you want to do but dont waste time in this thread to ask questions and then use another rom...Poor forum edicate.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
You will need to do a conversion back to sense,I am unfamiliar with gpe as I cant stand plain jane gpe.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Yeah the conversion I'm sure is a simple process. There's a mod out now for fastboot commands between two devices for those who don't have access to a computer. I figured in simplicity that one could just flash 3.28.1540.5 firmware from this very thread and you'd be back on sense partitions.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Cannot say as Ive never done a conversion. But would not say sure thatll work without having done it myself.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ccb101:
to convert back from GPE all you need to do is flash the firmware of a sense then use a RUU and your as good a new and you dont need to relock the bootloader so long as you have s-off

Merry CHRISTmas to you too WNC.

I've heard tell of official 5.01 and 5.1 in the works for Sense ROMS soon after Jan.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Possible , not heard anything about it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] swapgut:
One of my bookmarks in pc tech stuff is vr-zone, not exactly Android certified news but quoted from elsewhere.

vr-zone.com/articles/android-5-1-lollipop-update-reportedly-coming-out-february/84664.html

Saw somewhere else speculation that HTC would skip the first L iteration and go with 5.0.1. Now that makes sense with what was reported here at xda a month or so ago about the bugs in L.

Interested about all of this of course, time will tell and 4.4.4 is great right now.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Is the 3.28.1540.5 ota a RUU ? I was going to flash the 3.28.1540.5 firmware only unmodified then the 3.28.1540.5 ota
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
No but there is an ruu posted on here.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Is it from the mirror's for ROMs link

This is currently the file I'm downloading. I couldn't find the 3.28.1540.5 RUU...What I don't understanding is why would I have to flash standalone sense firmware to get back to sense from GPE, only to flash a sense RUU after flashing sense firmware. Wouldn't sense firmware be included in a sense RUU...

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Well just flashing firmware zip does not update all partitions/firmware back to sense.As its intended for a specific device and not a conversion process
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ccb101:
to convert back you need to flash the firmware to sense then RUU to fully convert back. if you try to RUU using google firmware it will error out.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ozziedog:
Question for you I Wise One; which of these is Sense 3.28.401.9, 3.28.1540.9 or are they one in the same? I drew a total blank during a friendly conversation. Thanks and hope you had a great Christmas:)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Both are sense, but I believe the difference in the two is the 1540 is dev edition
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Correct .401 is euro,.1540 is US Developer Edition
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sgndroid1:
I'm on 4.4.2(158.502.1), restored from original RUU. I played with newer versions before, but had Bluetooth issues, so went back to original stock. I started having issues with it too, and realized that it was Iheart radio causing the problem, where every time the phone connected to a Bluetooth device(three different ones) would not resume playing, making me to take the phone of the pocket while driving, unlock, open app and play to resume. Painful. I haven't had any issues since I had Iheart uninstalled. I'm gonna try again, and noticed there are two sets of roms, original and Developer edition. Which one do you suggest, what are the main differences between both?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ZeRo2o9:

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] goldalex98:
Do you still have to go through the 2.22.1540.3/4 update before going to 3.28?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
IF soff can just change cid and flash ruu up to 3.28.1540.5/9. Thats safest bet as the firmware packages included in my rom packages are made for this rom.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Original is debloated ATT 4.4.3 and developer is developer edition modified for ATT. My suggestion is if soff flash 4.4.4 ruu(3.28.1540.5) then reflash modified rom and firmware here IF using this rom as its modified just for this rom. Instructuins are included in the rom download
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] goldalex98:
So after some struggle I was able to get up to 3.28. First my computer decided it was a good day to crap out on me, then once I got it running, I was able to flash the Firmware that came with your modified package. Once I rebooted into CWM, I discovered that my internal storage had been formatted. Had to use the TWRP options to format data, before I could to a wipe. Which then led to me having to sideload the ROM instead of it being ready on the internal storage for me. Once I did all that, I finally managed to get it to boot.

Not as easy as I thought it would be, but I seem to be good to go now.

Are you looking for the 4.4.3 AT&T Stock ROM? If so, there is an RUU for it that you can restore your phone to the version it came with.

And to do this I need to relock my boot loader and flash stock recovery?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ccb101:
Nope you can leave your bootloader unlocked and it will flash the stock recovery for you
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Are you talking about the RUU (linked in post #871 above)? If so, then

yes

you need to relock the bootloader (since you are s-on). But you do

not

need to flash stock recovery.

Backup any personal data before RUU, as RUU will wipe the phone.

anyone know if i can reflash this rom? i am having battery drain/random hiccups. havent touched it since november when i installed this rom. Can i just factory reset/flash this over without reflashing the FW and the recovery?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] manup456:
Yeah wipe cache and flash, I have done it before.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] goldalex98:
Wakelock

Note sure if I'm the only one having this issue, but since I installed the ROM I have noticed increased battery drain. I seem to be experiencing some wakelocks. I have used ApOps, BetterBatteryStats, and Wakelock Detector. I've used Greenify, to kill as much as possible as well. Even when my phones screen is off all day it is typical to see the phone awake for 6 hours and deep sleep for only 2. Also, the CPU seems to not go to Deep Sleep either. At this point the main Wakelocks under kernel are qcom_rx_wakelock, wlan, bam_dmux_wakelock, and PowerManagerService.Wakelocks. I've more or less run out of ideas on what to do next, short of re-flashing. Does anyone have any ideas or have they experienced anything similar?

Update: I have definitely isolated it to be related to WiFi. I just tested on my way home from work, and while I wasn't on WiFi the wakelocks went away. I've done some research and some seem to indicate that it's caused by packets on the network waking the phone. No real solutions though, thoughts??

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Your not saying what rom as there are a couple here, and nope havent had any increased battery drtain, usually its an app you've installed. or you have allowed google apps to scan for connections even when not connected...this could cause the issue your experiencing. And simplest way to fix is check that setting and make sure it is indeed not searching for things while disconnected or turn off your wifi unless using it. nothing in the rom itself would cause this.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Got a link for test build with filename ending "G", which I flashed yesterday and currently running.

Got a new link from WNC, this time with filename ending "F". I would think the new link is what I should update to (haven't had a chance yet). But the filename leads me to believe the build had been reverted; assuming the naming conventional is alphabetical. Is this correct?

One bug I've noticed: when on a call, the red "End Call" text isn't shown on the corresponding screen button (see attached screenshot). Additionally, the text for "Audio Source" is chopped off at the bottom (button present when Bluetooth device is connected). Similarly, if the call was initiated form a Calendar appointment, there is an "Open Scribble" button that also has its text chopped off (also evident on the attached screenshot). Any phone buttons with one line of text is okay.

Reflashed the ROM with full wipe, and still seeing the same graphical glitches.

A minor bug, but reporting it nonetheless. And as mentioned, I haven't had a chance to flash the "F" build, so no idea if that ROM has the same issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
