nope it come back to the previous prompt

i.e, the process stops
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vi553r:
Ok...

I'm afraid that it won't work on verizon models of the M8.

Thing is.... On the m7 the data block is mmcblk0p37 on the m8 international version the block is mmcblk0p47.

I don't know which block is used on you're model.

I'm @ work right now so I can't do any research right away to see if the data block differs from verizon to international models.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

BTW, I read back and saw you are using twrp latest version.

That version has a build in option to repair the data block wich you can't. Mount.

Just in recovery you can fix it.

If you give me a sec I look into twrp and tell you where to go....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salman787:
thanx, i've tried the twrp repair option but issue is as such. I guess I have to live with it :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vi553r:
But you must not use the repair option but the change filesystem option.

Then you choose ext4 even though you are already on ext4 and then change filesystem

Try that one ...maybe this time youre lucky.

Thus:

In TWRP go to WIPE / ADVANCED WIPE

Tick the data partition and then click on repair or change filesystem

choose ext4 for filesystem.

You must tick the data block and not the internal storage block bhecause internal storage is a partition on youre data block. So id /Data is corrupted...so is your internal storage.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salman787:
tried that but failed to.

Looking at the issue i visited the following page;

http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2013/10/fix-data-htc-one.html

using these commands similar to yours, i got it to run. after completion when i entered mount /data it said "mounting dta failed on ext4: no such file or directory"
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vi553r:
That link refers to a m7 solution for the data problem. On m7 it was block 37 on the m8 it's block 47.i think that's why you still can't mount data.

But I'm not sure verizon models use the same block 47 number.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speckydodge:
so is there a way to find what the verizon block number is on the m8?

[HTC One S] Folrot:
Hi,

one thing I haven't understood yet is what advantage hboot 2.16 would give me. What's the difference for example between using CM11 official for hboot 2.15 and the unofficial version for 2.16? Can someone enlighten me?

- Folrot
[HTC One S] rosswhite:
In terms of the actual ROM itself there are no differences.

The 2.15 version of CM11 is official, which means the latest versions are automatically built by CyanogenMod and uploaded to their website. The 2.16 version of CM11 is unofficial, currently Cikoleko very kindly adapts the official ROM to work with 2.16 and uploads them for other users. Of course if Cikoleko decided to stop building then there would be no more support unless you built it yourself or someone else took over.

The 2.16 firmware was made for Sense 5 onwards and although you probably wouldn't notice the difference between a Sense 5 ROM on 2.15 firmware and 2.16, for me personally the latest Sense ROM's seem to run better on 2.16.

Advantages:

- Unified storage space (instead of having a 10gb partition for storage and a 2gb partition for apps, there is one unified partition of 12gb to use as you wish).

- Supports latest Sense 6 ROM.

Disadvantages:

- You must be S-OFF

- Unable to mount storage in recovery.

- Less support for AOSP ROM's

It's really depends on whether you use AOSP or Sense ROM's more.

Hey, I had SO MANY problems updating the PC suite to that version... I was on a windows 8.1 laptop and hadn't done anything regarding rooting or flashing .kdz files on that laptop and still got the message that the update couldn't be verified with the server. I'm using Bitdefender Internet Security on my laptop, so I tried turning it off and it still didn't work. So I finally decided to uninstall it, after that, I tried to do the update again and it worked :) I think that the uninstalling wasn't necesary, I probably had to change something in the firewall settings. So, you should check if you are using a similar program that is causing an issue.

Any app that accesses the system (busybox, exposed ect.) Must be flashed via recovery. This method works fine on my device. Although each time the recovery must be flashed and once the appropriate apps are flashed, must be the stock kernel flashed via flash tool again, but this is at the moment the only way to get a system with the appropriate apps and root privileges!

It's pretty much a regular M2 + water protection from what I know. You can always go back to stock if you make a TA-backup before unlocking the bootloader (restoring it will lock it) and flashing the original firmware. Search xda for TA-backup, xperifirm and flashtool.

I dont' know if I can load it on the ftp, but if I can I'll put it there for you (and everyone who need it).

I looked on the ftp and on the myqtek's page and if you want the newest WWE version, it is already on the ftp.
