[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanjsoo:
So I`m rooted, s-on, on Android Revolution v7.0 and want to update to jelly bean. Do I just restore a stock backup then flash the stock recovery and install the OTA or do I need to re-lock the bootloader and update firmware manually? If someone could guide me through the steps it that would be greatly appreciated since I haven`t done this since the evo days and it was much simpler with s-off and ruu`s (one isn`t available for my model in particular), thanks very much in advance for any help.

Restore stock backup and stock recovery and you should be able to take an ota.

If you are S-ON you can't update manually

Hello. I changed cmy broken LCD screen and digitizer today. All seemed OK until I got home and noticed I has very poor WiFi (loose connection after 8-10 feet away from router) and network signal is also very poor. I'm assuming obviously something wasn't connected right. Anyone have an idea what my issue might be? Thanks in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanjsoo:
I factory reset my device, restored to a stock backup and booted fine, then I downloaded the ota and flashed the stock recovery for that version, 1.54.710.8, however now the phone won`t boot, it just hangs at the htc screen and I can`t seem to get into the bootloader, what did I do wrong?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempestZ:
Did you take the ota before you flashed the recovery? Do it in this order. Flash the stock Rom then flash the recovery and then lock your bootloader. Make sure you flash the right stocks. Then take the ota

And for bootloader hold volume up + power until it shuts down then switch fast to volume down + power and hold till it enters bootloader

Ok, I managed to get back into the bootloader, re did the whole process but instead I used the stock recovery for my initial software version not the update, it`s now working fine and has updated to the latest build, thanks very much for the advice, my phone is now running better than ever!, and for future reference, I didn`t need to relock the bootloader, thanks again.

Need some explanations

Hello all

well i need some explanation, please, as i came from HTC one X which served me well for almost 3 years. I got M8 vodap102. I unlocked and rooted it. Successfully flashed Skydragon 4.1.

Now, as i understand to flash rom i do not need to flash boot.img? When should i flash boot.img? (i flashed boot.img from SkyDragon+M8+v+4.1+WWE+Sense+7.zip\additions\kernelll\skydragon\kernel\) as i understood that is custom kernel SD?

Here are my other concernes: My M8 got an 4.19.161.2 update. As i understand it is lollipop not kitkat. a version before that was kitkat.

Now can i go back to kitkat (i.e. original and initial state of the phone)?

And 2 final questions: Should go for s-off? and should i go for supercid? (will sushine work)? and why?

Thank you very much for your help!

poor battery performance

hello all,

i just bought a second-hand m8, and I am quite happy with its performance. seller told me that it is used like 3-4 days, and he us higly reputable, so there's no reason not to trust him.

phone came with SkyDragon rom, which i have no idea what version us, that's why i added screens of it. and my batteryis draining SUPERFAST. i already spent 4 % while trying to sign hp to here and writing this post. so you can guess how fast it drains. (oops it's 5 % now). and it's in power saver mode.

so, do you think the problem is in the battery.? or should I wait for couple of charging? or i am considering cahnging the ROM. i am not that interested in custom ROMs. so i can go back to original rom.

i am really desperately demanding your help. cuz it's crazy. niw i am finishing this poat and it's 7% of battery is gone. any help is appreciated. thanks in advance

quick question

hi guys new guy here , hoping someone answers this ...

first , sorry for bad English . . .

i had a nexus 4 , rooted and installed lots of ROMs on it even a kernel , had no problem with it . . .

and i just read "Frequently Asked Questions by KidCarter93" for HTC One M8 , but just like he said in the post , better be safe than sorry . . .

just bought this new M8 , awesome phone , made the mistake of updating to 5.0.1 and now having lots of problems ,, i want to downgrade to 4.4 original ROM no changes , i know i need to root and flash a stock ROM (by which i mean android 4.4.4 with sense 4.5) , but i keep hearing this "S-off" and it's confusing me , do i even have to do the S-off thing ? cuz it sound kind of risky !! if it was my old phone it was simple just flash the stock ROM , but it's a new phone , i haven't ever root it : so i need to be very sure !

so is this what i need to do ? >>>>>> root > Flash the desired ROM and done

it's a HTC One (M8) M8y and it think it's unlocked . . . no AT&T, T-Mobile and. . . . even though i have no idea what these mean !!!!

and i'm gonna follow htconeroot.com for root and flashing ROMs , did the same for my nexus . . .
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
If you want to downgrade firmware, you will need to S-Off.

If you are going to S-Off, don't root first. Sunshine works best on a stock ROM that is unmodified. It costs $25, but if you want to downgrade, it is the only way.

The Sunshine S-Off thread is at this link.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F3RYX-47:
i already rooted my phone :D like , right now :confused:

beside i have a really bad experience with tools . almost bricked my nexus 4 with one of them !

if S-off is necessary i have a 6 steps guide for it (better than my root guide with 27 steps !)

so what i need to do is 1-do the S-off thingy 2-and then flash my ROM , correct ?

this is the ROM i have my eyes on by the way :

Unusual Crackling Sound in the bottom speaker of HTC One M8

Was running the latest liquid smooth Rom on my M8 and had used the ViPer4Android equalizer to tweak the sound effects. It was running fine all the while but however today the the bottom speaker has started to produce an awful crackling sound. Thinking that its probably because of thee equalizer settings I had restored back to stock and when I played music again, it still produced the crackling sound. Is this a hardware or software issue? Should I go to HTC by flashing the official recovery so that I can cover up all the modications made to the phone? Will my warranty be void? Please reply soon
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you return to stock, and the issue persists, its probably a hardware issue. In fact, it sounds like the description of a blown speaker. If the sound mod pushed the speaker past what its designed for, a blown speaker is not surprising. If that is the case, then yes your warranty if void, as it does not cover damage done by the user, especially from installing non-HTC mods.

I think you are using custom recovery (TWRP)? If so, what partitions

specifically

did you wipe?

What mods are on the phone? Root, custom ROM, etc.

S-off or s-on.

What CID?

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

In stock Sense, go to Settings>Personalize, then scroll down to Lockscreen, and you will see the option to use a different wallpaper on Lockscreen versus your homescreen.

Don't think in stock setup and settings, there is a way to download straight to removable SD. But there might be apps and mods that can do that.

Also, please don't quote the whole long OP (or other post) the way you did. I know this is done by default, but just delete it so you don't clutter up the board with a full page OP (when your actual post is only 2 sentences).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
1 and 2) I would

highly recommend against

buying the Sprint and Verizon versions, for anyone that is not on those specific carriers. They are meant for those carriers, which use CDMA networks, and these M8 variants are actually different hardware than every other ("GSM") M8 version (with the added exception of the dual SIM version, which is obviously also different hardware).

While the Sprint/Verizon versions are called the "CDMA" M8, they in fact support both GSM and CDMA (which you are probably aware.

However

, different hardware means that most ROM are not cross-compatible (only ROM specifically mean to support Verizon/Sprint will work), and not only that, but other things like radios for other M8 versions are also not compatible (radios for all other "GSM" M8 versions can be flashed to one another, give the correct procedures are followed).

You are literally better off with any

other

M8 version, rather than Verizon/Sprint. Definitely not worth it, just to get the red color.

3) Depends on lot on your budget and preferences. But reviews of the M9 are not stellar, and the M8 is a great phone for a much lower price. M9 will probably have a more active community moving forward (as folks migrate from M8 or M7). But M8 already has a big number of ROMs, and s-off.

I don't personally plan to update to the M9, at least not quite yet. But if I had to pick between the two (M8 vs. M9), that's a tough call. I'm usually a big proponent of spending a bit more for the latest generation. But this is one of the few times I'm actually hesitating to recommend the newest version, as the M9 actually looks pretty disappointing.

4) I'd say no, and I think most others would agree. But I think a few say it still has a pinkish hue, but not as bad as the M7. I think the problem is HTC likes to artificially tweak the color warmth to make photos look more vivid.

Maybe I notice a slight pink hue on faces, under certain lighting conditions (bright sunlight). But its not that noticeable. But again, its somewhat subjective. Different people notice and get bothered by different things.
