[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HLG.:
Hi guys, I want to switch to a HTC One M8 from a Sony Xperia Z1 compact, but I have two main questions/issues.

1. How is the battery life on the M8? On the Z1c I get on average between 1D 16H and 2D and 3H of battery with around 4H screen on time.

2. How is the camera of the M8? Are you happy with the daylight and nightlight pictures?

Also, any additional advice is useful.

Thanks.

I have 2 questions:

1. Can you USB Wifi tether on a Sense ROM just like you can on AOSP ROMs?

2. Does the AOSP camera take advantage of the duo camera sensors? If it doesn't, is there any way to do so, or is it like the speakers and they aren't "open source"?

The tether option depends on the ROM, but I'm almost sure that there should be one with the option to Wifi thether, about the USB I'm not sure. In the case of the camera, the AOSP cameras don't take advantadge of duo camera. The best camera for the HTC One M8 is the one of Sense, which can be ported to AOSP ROMs.

I 2nd the recommendation of that app. Its nicely intuitive, and does a great job or graphically depicting how much space files are taking up, and what directory they are located in.

Using such an app is the best way to get to the bottom of what "Other" files are taking up storage. OS takes up a large chunk, but not 6 GB. What can be taking up these files, we can't answer. Can be anything the user has downloaded that doesn't fit into any of the remaining categories (Apps, Music, Photos, etc.).

If the screen comes on, failure to get into bootloader is user error (not doing the button combination correctly).

Hold down the power and vol up buttons for several seconds to force a reboot. The

moment

the screen goes black to reboot, let go of the buttons and hold the vol down button. Don't let go until you see the bootloader screen.

If you fail to boot into bootloader, you either started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early. Just repeat the process until you get it right.

I don't think that the T-Mobile radio will flash to the M8x (Taiwan) version. Even though its the same hardware (just overclocked) other M8x users here have reported not being able to flash radios from other M8 GSM versions.

If your device doesn't support the AWS band (and based on online specs for the M8x, it does not), you won't get HSPA+ on T-Mobile US in some locations. Washington DC does happen to be one of the (limited) locations where T-Mob has refarmed its 1900 MHz band to be used for HSPA+. But if you move outside the "refarmed" locations, you will likely not have HSPA+ (only 2G or EDGE):

The M8x also seems to lack the 1900Mhz band used by T-Mob for LTE: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=5997&c=htc_one_m8x_2014_lte-a_htc_m8

Finding the correct ROM to flash.

Hi guys, I need help on selecting the proper ROM for me to flash. Since I can't afford Sunshine to get S-OFF yet, can someone help me on linking or telling me the correct files (ROMS, kernels, RUU and etc) for me? And is it worth to flash the new firmwares for the latest OTA?

I really need urgent help! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My bootloader status is currently:

-TAMPERED

-UNLOCKED

-S-ON

-HBOOT 3.18

-RADIO 1.19

-CID HTC_622

I kept downloading tons of different ROMs but none of them works due to the WiFi incompatibility.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Based on your current hboot number, you are still on 4.4.3 firmware. Sense 4.4.3 based ROMs should work (or AOSP or GPE ROMs that support 4.4.3 firmware). Most custom ROMs have evolved past that point. But you can probably still find a couple 4.4.3 base.

Is it worth it to update firmware by OTA? If you want to run current ROMs, I'd say absolutely.

You need to return to stock ROM for your CID, plus the corresponding stock recovery in order to OTA. Unlocked bootloader and root are okay to OTA (although you will lose root). The after updating by OTA, you can install custom recovery again, and flash any custom ROM that corresponds with the newly installed firmware.

If you go back to stock and stock recovery you will update by OTA (over the air) from your carrier. That will update the firmware.

I would check this thread. What I would do I would download a CID coresponing nandroid backup and just restore it. Then flash the corresponding stock recovery and you should be ready to update. Make sure to make a nandroid before for yourself.

Hey guys.

I have a Verizon M8, fully stock, running 5.01 LP. I intentionally kept it unrooted because I knew that HTC would give an update in a reasonable time -- and they did! However, the root and ROM bug has bitten me again and I'd like to root, S-off, and unlock the bootloader on my phone.

Like I said though, I'm running Verizon, fully stock, Lollipop. You see my dilemma.

All of the root tutorials I've seen so far were written for KK devices, and simply don't work for LP. Weaksauce just freezes and does nothing. Sunshine can't temp root, even though I have SuperSU installed from the Play Store (don't laugh, I saw in a thread somewhere someone say that it worked...)

Has there been an exploit found for the LP stock ROM yet? If so, can you send me a link with the instructions?

I understand that odds may be slim that this exists, and I'm OK with that. However, I felt like it couldn't hurt to ask!

That being said I don't see why you can't just unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery and then flash the root (su)

1. Unlocked bootloader the htcdev method

2.Fastboot flash TWRP recovery (pro tip: do a nandroid here)

3.Zip flashed from recovery SuperUser
