:victory::victory::victory:

Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It totally worked.

I will now create and run backup like I should have done before!

After I run nandroid bu, which is better TWRP or CWM? Does it matter or is it personal preference?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] neilrl79:
Good to hear! If you don't mind push the little "thanks" button on a couple on my posts.(I'm trying to win the internet! LoL)

It is probably personal preference but I feel TWRP has a better UI.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
You could also try PhilzTouch it is CM based but all touch like TWRP. I do however agree TWRP UI is much nicer.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
I would like to try TWRP but after installing Goomgr it won't install Open recovery script.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
Use Flashify from the playstore to install TWRP Download the TWRP image from here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/226
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
In your experience which is more user friendly?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
To verify, download Flashify (by Gollner), then download TWRP image from this link: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/226

then I'm all good yes?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
Correct. Flashify is simple to use.

After you download the TWRP image, Open Flashify and then grant root access.

Hit Recovery Image then next select Choose a file. Find the TWRP image you downloaded on your phone and install it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
Say, what is the difference between Nandroid Manager and Flashify?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
I do not know anything about Nandroid Manager. All I know is that Flashify works and has been recommended but many users. I stay with what I know works.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
Which link for the image is correct, the App install method, the ADB/Terminal method, or the Fastboot method?

Does it matter where it is downloaded to; sdcard or internal?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
Get the 2.8.0.1 from here:

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8_wlv

I would put it on the internal card. Shouldn't matter though as long as you remember where you download it to.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
Rebooted and now the Unlocked screen with menu popped up. Correct?

Since this really is the very first time doing this I am nervous to proceed. Which is the best option to choose now?

btw-thank you for being so patient and walking me through this
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
That is the bootloader screen.

So you installed TWPR through Flashify?

If so, hit the power button on hboot, then you can use the volume buttons to go down to recovery and hit the power button again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
Oh no..

I rebooted and went into Flashify and it says You don't have root/Superuser access on your device.

What did I do wrong?

SuperSu says there is no su binary and I have to manually re-root.

Also HTC dm keeps trying to install newer firmware whenever I reboot. is this ok or do I force stop it while doing all this other stuff?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
Okay, I did not know that you were not rooted yet. No biggie. We will just flash TWRP in a different matter and then you can root your device if you wish or install a custom rom that has root.

Download the TWRP zip file from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712470582

Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and then copy it to the root of your external sdcard.

Boot back into your bootloader. Where you were before.

Hit the power button on hboot.

This should take you into hboot and detect the zip file and ask if you want to update. Hit the Volume Up for yes.

Now you can reboot into recovery.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
I was rooted. Spent the money last Friday after a day of struggling and used Sunshine. It was rooted/unlocked bootloader/s-off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
Sunshine does not give you a permanent root. It temporarily roots your phone so that it can run and gain s-off and unlocked status. After that you can install a custom recovery and root your phone for free doing what we are doing here.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
:rolleyes: aaaaagh so stupid. I thought it gave permanent root.

Ok, sensei.....which is the best course of action now? Do I redo sunshine and go through the steps you have spelled out or is there a better method? One for simple minds like mine?:silly:

And is all of this done directly on the phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
You have already done Sunshine so you are s-off and unlocked. Follow the steps I posted to get a custom recovery on your phone and then we can get you rooted.

You can verify s-off and unlock by booting into your bootloader. It will be on the first screen.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
Am trying to copy the TWRP zip, renamed as you said, from where it downloaded to the external sd and ES File explorer says copying at the top but shows no progress.

Once it gets to where its supposed to be I will go through your steps slowly and hopefully not have to bug you anymore.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
I don't think ES File Explorer will be able to copy it to the external card. This is a limitation of Android for security purposes. You will need to copy the file to the external card using your PC.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
Oh ok. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
Ok, done. Rebooted and recovery said OK. You are dead on it does show s-off/unlocked.

Now this time I will wait for instructions before I mess this up again.

Where do I go from here?

Now I cant get passed a nag screen to install the verizon update 4.4.3. Is it safe to do so right now?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
I guess my question is, Where do you want to be when finished?

Android 4.4.3 Sense stock rooted?

Android 4.4.3 Sense sort of stock but bloatware removed and some tweaks?

Android 4.4.2 Sense stock rooted?

A highly customized ROM?

You can check out the ROMS from here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development

It is up to you. I would recommend installing the NuSenseSIX Rom from [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION]. Is is pretty much stock with some tweaks, but runs real smooth and is stable. It is what I am running and I do not have any issues.

If you want a little more customization my next choice would be InsertCoin.

There are multiple options and ways to get where you want to go. I just need to know where you want to end up and I can help you get there the easiest way possible.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
I will look over the suggestions tomorrow before deciding(gotta get up early for work). Are you around most of the time?

And may I say there are no words for how much I appreciate you helping me out so much! You are an android:angel:

Oh before exiting, is it safe to install the Verizon 4.4.3 update? Thought I saw somewhere that it prevents rooting.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
In order to install the update, you would need to flash back to the stock recovery, install the update, then install TWRP again and since you are s-off and unlocked, you would be able to root. If you try and install the update with TWRP it will just fail. That is why I wanted to know where you want to end up.

If you go with a custom ROM, we don't need the stock recovery, but we will need to flash a new firmware and then a custom rom. This will cause you to loose your settings cause we will need to do a factory reset. It does not wipe your storage so your pictures and stuff would still be there, but you would need to get all of your apps from the play store again.

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Always good to have options and I think you would really love the NuSense ROM. Just let me know...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
Is there any reason to get the update though? If the update prevents or makes rooting more difficult I'll pass.

Have tried booting into bootloader and every time it asks if I want to, I can't remember its either update or install recovery, like you walked me through and I volume up for yes. it says OK but then no where can I locate TWRP to get it set. And can't get to any other screen in bootloader.

Flashify shows no recovery available.

What am I missing this time? Am I holding volume button too long, should I pushing volume up rather than down?

I'm not normally a stupid person but all of this makes me feel like Larry the Cable guy trying to use the Hadron Collider. Guess I'm not smarter than a 5th grader.

Anyway, can I set this up as 4.4.? stock w/o bloat,

then as I have more time to mess around on vacation and not get into a jam(need phone for work) start trying different roms?

Is that doable?

I read all over about people trying out different roms, but if I mess up my phone I am totally hosed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
You can be on 4.4.3 and have no problem rooting. Once you are s-off and unlocked, you are able to root without issue.

As for recovery, You need to rename the 0P6BIMG.zip file on your sdcard to something else. I named mine 0P6BIMG_TWRP.zip. That will prevent hboot from seeing it and wanting to update. After that you will be ale to get into recovery.

Flashify says no recovery because you are not rooted yet.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Siouxsie D:
Done, and done, and DONE!!!:victory:

Renamed zip, installed TWRP, ran backup, installed SuperSu, rebooted.

Humongous Hug.

So would it terrify everyone if I said I might try that rom you suggested next week?:laugh:

;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
I'm glad you were successful. :good:

Custom Roms can be a lot of fun and keep you feeling like you got a new phone. I have been lurking on here and reading a lot for a couple of years. I'm glad I now have time and can start giving back to the community.

When you are ready to try a custom rom, always remember, if you are not sure about something, do some research before doing it. If you can't find the answer or are still uncomfortable, please ask first. It is a lot easier to help someone do it correctly then to try and fix mistakes that could have been avoided. But mistakes will happen and as long as we learn from them and can get it fixed up, we all are better off.;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Such as soft-bricking your M8 while at work without a USB cable, LOL! :eek:

But all is well now.

I had 4.4.2 and Firewater wasn't working and the 4.4.3 OTA wouldn't shut it's mouth, so I went ahead and took the OTA planning to use Sunshine and pony up the cash.

It applied the update and after a few run throughs of Sunshine, it worked and I was S-OFF and Unlocked :)

Then I wanted to root it, but didn't have a USB cable with me. So I actually used a script and then installed SuperSU from the market. It seemed to be happy and I could use root apps. Then I just needed recovery, so I downloaded TWRP and installed it through their app and it rebooted into recovery! All without touching a computer.

Then the issues came at me. When I went to try and boot back into the OS, it would do nothing but go right back into recovery. Infinite recovery loop. Data reset, factory reset, boot to system, nothing. I was a bit ticked off at that point. I also didn't have an SD card to put a ROM on, so I was really SOL.

Luckily I went home over my lunch break between work and class and fast boot flashed the recovery the proper way, then took the little 2GB SD card from my Incredible and put the GPe ROM on it since it would actually fit (stock was bigger than the formatted card). And was back up and running at least. Now I'm happy I did as the GPe ROM is so dang clean, smooth, and fast.

Long story short though, do use the PC to flash your recovery and root so you don't end up in a recovery loop. Had it happen to my Dinc and GS III a few times in the past. So it wasn't anything new, just a bit confusing. 64GB SD card on the to buy list now, haha :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
I'm glad you were able to get yourself running again.

TWRP Manager flashes the recovery to the wrong block. That is why this happened to you. You can use Flashify to install recoveries without any problems as long as you are rooted. That is the app I use.

DO NOT USE

TWRP Manager to install recovery

With the current version, v7.3.9, TWRP Manager installs to the wrong block and will not boot allow you to boot your rom...

Hello !

I have problems with my HTC ONE M8 playing music when I use it in my car via AUX cable.

Usually, the first time i plug it in the aux cable is recognized as a headphone and everything is working normally. However, usually the 2nd time I plug it in (or restart the car) it is recognized as a headphone with a microphone and the phone keeps changing the songs and sometimes even starting the google voice search. The problem is the same no matter which player i use.

Any help?

I appreciate it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vapehooka:
My m8 Verizon worked fine with my aux cable for my car until yesterday's 4.4.3 update.. now the stock headphones work fine as well does a expensive aux cable but my cheap retractable cable that worked fine before isn't recognized.. it works on my old thunderbolt fine but also fails on my wife's m7 ... Try a different cable that's higher quality.. mine is a griffen brand that's working..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domt91:
yes, now when you mention it, as far as I can remember I think everything did work fine before the 4.4.3. update.

i will try with the better cable

Hi there!

This is my first post on this forum! I am excited to be apart of this community! A bit of background (because this is my first post): I am a experianced developer (games, compilers, utilities), and have done some circitry.

Now to my dilemma: I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini and its USB charger is wearing out, but I do not have the charging ports necessary for

a wireless charger, I saw many mods going for the USB port, but I don't want to damage it or void my warranty, so I was wondering:

A: Are these concerns?

B: Can I go for the battery connection directly (too much of a noob, I cant post images)?

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] RonaldusMagnus:
I use Omni on the Find 7a. There's a lot of chatter about LVM in that development thread, over in AOSPA too. I'm just wondering how mature this feature is before I go about flashing one of the LVM ROMs. Are they stable enough as a daily drivers? Thanks!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] lesscro:
For sure !
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] d0ge01:
stable is stable but it's still experimental, this means it may change in future and they don't promise nothing about stability

I do not use due the fact 3g data is good for me,I have 2 games and social

but you are free to try and if there's some problem go back to split layout

be sure to use always lvm compatible Rom and backup to your sd all apps daily

avoid backup in internal memory due the fact it's inside lvm cluster
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
I had been wondering if I was having some LVM-specific issues on my device, but it turns out the issues were a different patch I'd applied at about the same time I started working with LVM. Ooops.

Right now other than some recovery user interface/user experience issues, and some SELinux logspam I need to fix, there aren't any issues with LVM itself. Any issues you'll encounter on an LVM-capable package will affect the same firmware with a standard layout too.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dany xe:
it might be a noob question, but the last phone i had was a htc sensation xe wich didn't have gpe and noremal versions. can a gpe rom be flashed normally on a sense based one m8? or should we do a conversion first. i don't mean flashing ruu, just a custom gpe rom. is it possible?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
There are two possible ways to go.

The first is to flash just an AOSP ROMs thats designed to word on the GSM edition. The second option ist to fully convert you one M8 into a GPE. GPE based ROMs can only be flashed if you did this full conversion, as partition sizes of GSM and GPE are different.

Regarding the first point you would only need to unlock bootloader and flash a custom recovery. Be carefull, some HTC Apps such as calculator and flashlight are erased by the factory reset during this process as they are now installed on the data paertition and are thus part of the wipe.

Regarding the second one, you would have to be S-Off. To gain it I woould then take SunShine and pay 25$, as it performs the unlock without factora reset during S-off process. This also means HTC doesn't come to know about you tampering your M8, if it comes to warranty issues. Further more during this process all core component such as radio AND hboot are replaced by the original GPE Boot. Thus you could even get OTA by Google, as after the process your M8 is in fact a full GPE. If you would have to go back to stock there are two Guides in this forums:

RUU GPE conversion

Going back to Sense from [RUU] Google Edition Conversion
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimusVoxx:
i would do a full conversion then when multirom is finished i go with a nice aosp/aokp rom. preferably task650s aokp, that way you can get the best of both worlds

I have new AT&T (Koodo) device (Stock 4.3).

It works with FIDO, Rogers, Telus, except Windmobile...

Which modem should I flash to bring it to Wind?

Please advice.

Thank you very much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Don't go flashing other devices modems. You will not like the results. They range from no radio functionally, loss of IMEI, to all of the above and the inability to flash back to a modem that works.

Go to the AT&T forum and check out the AWS mod. That is likely what you are looking for.

That's the problem. The device doesn't cooperate :(

Any advice?..

My setup:

Nova launcher

Motion Launch disabled in general ROM settings

LMT with Pie controls as the only active feature

GravityBox configured to disable the navigation bar

Kernel Manager configured with Swipe2Wake disabled

My Issue:

When I swipe left along the bottom of the screen it puts the phone to sleep.

This wouldn't be to much of an issue but since my Nova dock now sits at the bottom of the screen since the nav buttons are disabled I'm accidentally putting it to sleep while swiping thru my docks. :mad:

Am I missing a setting somewhere that is keeping this swipe to sleep functionality enabled? Is there another app I can install to disable this swipe2sleep feature perhaps?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
