[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfriedly:
Hi,

I have a Verizon m8, and I think I might have a mismatch between my ROM and my firmware, I'd like to know if anyone can recommend an RUU or other update to apply.

I just upgraded from CyanogenMod 13 to a LineageOS 14.1 nightly build yesterday. Right now bluetooth audio is super-choppy and wi-fi occasionally disconnects. Before the upgrade, bluetooth and wifi had some trouble although bluetooth audio could play smoothly. The entire phone seems kind of laggy now too, especially when playing bluetooth audio - e.g. the power menu can take 2-3 seconds to appear.

This is what my hboot screen shows:

*** Software status Official ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

I'd prefer to keep it unlocked, on LineageOS, etc, although at this point I'm frustrated enough that I'd be willing to give that up just to get the darn thing working smoothly again.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Before doing anything drastic, find and flash a Verizon compatible kernel. That can be a major problem solver from the start.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfriedly:
Ok, any specific recommendations? I'll poke around some more myself, but the first two I found both had dead links :(

Update: I tried installing the stock kernel + modules from https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712793 and.. my phone couldn't boot anymore (recovery still worked though).

I'm trying out the ROM/Radio/Firmware/Kernel combo from https://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-o...-4-17-605-9-stock-resources-firmware-t3196906 now - it's not exactly what I was hoping for but, bluetooth seems to mostly work and wifi hasn't dropped yet. So I'll be content if it keeps running smoothly.

Second update: It worked well for a week or so, then installed a couple of updates, including a SuperSU update, and then crashed as if the battery had died. I turned it back on and it crashed again. I plugged it in (the battery was at ~50%), turned it on, and it took a *long* time to restart - it went through the "optimizing app 1-through-137" and it appeared to have lost most of my settings. (E.g. I had to log back into various apps.) Many of my apps needed to re-download updates.

Then Google Play Services started crashing right and left, with intermittent errors from other Google apps. Basically nothing google worked, and the incessant popups from the crashes meant that nothing else was really usable.

So, I tried a new LineageOS nightly, 2017-09-07, and now it seems to be behaving better - bluetooth works properly (better than on the stock ROM), although Wi-Fi still seems to drop occasionally.

None of the `fastboot getvar all` output appears to have changed :/
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
That's lollipop firmware. You need a firmware beginning with 6 to be on MM.

Edit: Having now read the thread, you should be OK flashing one of those firmwares available to get to MM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Need more info. RUUs are version specific (you can't just flash any RUU for the M8, it has to match the device CID/MID). What file name or version number RUU are you trying?

Are you trying to use RUU zip or exe format (what RUU flash method)?

Also, do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Are you trying to unlock the bootloader,

or

flash the RUU? Because those are 2 very different things. Basically, what is your end goal, as it may determine what approach we take.

Did you flash the firmware before trying the RUU, as I previously instructed?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You don't flash SuperSU with fastboot (directly) if that is what you mean.

You can try to boot TWRP (without flashing TWRP) then flash SuperSU in TWRP.

Or you can try just flashing TWRP, and see if that works. In the s-off conditions, we've seen where TWRP can be flashed, even is the bootloader says LOCKED. For that matter, there are some conditions where you can flash TWRP even when s-on, and bootloader LOCKED (but I'm not completely clear on the conditions).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You really should not be tinkering with your device if you have no idea what you are doing. The question you asked on the thread I linked to proves that point. Post the results of fastboot getvar all after removing your serial and IMEI numbers. Until then, do nothing else.

---------- Post added at 14:12 ---------- Previous post was at 13:50 ----------

You have no google apps because you didn't read the first post on the resurrection remix page. You have to download and flash gapps separately. Now your laziness is just wasting our time.

-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS-

- Download the latest build

- Download Gapps

- Take a nandroid backup

- Recommended - Full wipe and factory reset

- Flash ROM using latest TWRP 3.x Recovery

- Flash Gapps

- Reboot.

Just saying "it didn't work" is insufficient. Include the exact steps you executed, the error messages, or where you got stuck, error conditions, etc. It's possible you just did something wrong, that we can easily spot and fix.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

You didn't bother to properly read the link/guide provided. It includes a whole collection of stock TWRP backups made and uploaded by other generous folks, that you can use to restore to stock. So it doesn't matter if you didn't make a backup.

Einwod even told you (when he supplied the link) to follow the instructions carefully; and everything you needed was there. The fact you responded in such a way indicates impatience and carelessness. Not good habits when modding these devices.

But you should

always

make a backup in TWRP before flashing a ROM or rooting.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyr0413:
Hey all,

First, what I'm working with:

AT&T version

Stock w/ AT&T updates (sense 7.0, android 6.0)

And here's what I've done:

1) unlocked bootloader through HTC Dev process (token ID)

2) flashed latest TWRP, downloaded direct from developer's page

3) flashed SuperSU zip through TWRP (SuperSU downloaded through developer's page)

No evident problems with the above. All occurred without error.

My question is this:

My device appears to be rooted. I can grant root access to apps, I can view system files, etc. It appears that I can uninstall bloatware apps (tried using a few different apps) and/or delete their files/folders through ES File Explorer. Yet the files and apps return after deletion or do not disappear at all from the system's app menu.

It's almost as though I have a quasi/ghost root functionality.

(I also tried a loading screen install through ROM Toolbox Lite with similar results - installation supposedly succeed with no effect)

Any thoughts/feedback?

Thanks in advance.

After uninstalling a system app, it will show ( but not opening) in the app drawer till you restart the phone. Have you tried restarting ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
SDMaid Pro (it's worth it, believe me) will allow the total removal of any app on your device. Well worth every single cent to purchase. They will never return until you update/reinstall the ROM or download the app again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyr0413:
Yes, several times. When I remove the files through ES, it is after a restart when they reappear.

Perhaps I need to adb flash the root? Rather than through TWRP?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You're not fully rooted with stock kernel due to write protection is enabled in the kernel itself.

You can install custom kernel like ElementalX & etc to have protection disabled

Or simply reboot to twrp, mount system then advance menu - file manager - browse to system - app or priv-app, delete whatever you don't need. They won't appear again after reboot.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyr0413:
What it sounds like you're saying is: I have root access while in recovery, but when the OS is loaded it continues to restrict changes to system files, giving me a false positive on a root check...

Okay, I'll try installing a custom kernel. I'll let y'all know how it goes... thanks.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Some apps need root, but don't need to make changes to system (Titanium Backup for one, maybe ad blockers?). So that is why the root checker apps will say it's rooted.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyr0413:
I installed ElementalX per your recommendation, and it seems to have solved my problem! I appreciate everyone's quick responses for a phone model 3 years old.

After flashing the new kernel, I tested an uninstall of some AT&T bloatware, followed by a reboot, and it worked quickly and flawlessly.

Thanks again!

Android L-MR1

Hello,

I am still a newbie but I was able to recently converted my HTC sense M8 to rooted GPe.

Android Version 5.1

Baseband version 1.23.213311491.A13G_20.52A.4198.01_F

Kernel version 3.4.0-g92e3e58

Build number LMY470.H9 release-keys

However, after the conversion i received an update notification for Android L-MR1. I tried to install said update but at some point in the installation, i got an error message. Despite that, i did not not encounter any more issues after rebooting my phone. Though said update notification keeps popping up. Is this update a prerequisite for me to get an update to get android version 6?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You cannot install an OTA update if you have root access. It will always fail. You also need the stock recovery.

Thank you for the quick reply, what do i need if i want to update it from 5.1 to 6.0 yet maintain the root access?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You need a compatible ROM and then you need to root again. You'll have to update your firmware also.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clarkzara:
Ok kindly confirm if my approach is ok...since my build is currently @ 5.1 - LMY470.H9. I will need to install stock recovery for LMY470.H9. Then manually install the following OTAs 1st is for LMY470.H10 from LMY470.H9, then after that OTA for 6.0 MRA58K.H6 from LMY470.H10. This will bring the android version to 6.0. Then need to install again TWRP and SuperSU to regain the root access.

Im confuse on the update of firmware.

Bluetooth issues

Hi guys,

I have a weird issue with my bluetooth connection:

When my phone is connected to my car bluetooth it works great, except for when it sits in the car mount (phone holder), that squeezes the phone form both sides. This is when sound breaks.

I never had any other issues with bluetooth (headphones, earphones etc).

Did it happen to anyone else? I would really like to drive and listen to bluetooth music when the phone is mounted, and not next to me.

Thanks for any suggestions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
Hi, basic check here, is the phone holder holding down the volume button? I had similar before a long time ago.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FIFATG:
Nope. Nothing is pressed down.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'm pretty sure the "squeeze" of the phone holder is a red herring, and not in itself the cause. I've had the same issue in my car with the M8. If your instance is anything like mine, I believe the interference comes with having the phone located to close to your car stereo head unit.

You can easily test this by:

1) Keeping the phone in the holder, but holding the holder (with phone inside it) in different locations (in relation to the car stereo), and see how this effects the BT interference (sound breaking up).

2) Hold the phone (without the holder) in the place you would normally mount it in the holder, and see if the sound break up still occurs.

For me, I have a phone holder that mounts in the car stereo CD slot. And having the M8 there, causes the music to break up pretty consistently (and annoyingly). Putting the phone just about anywhere else (cup holder, my pants pocket, etc.) makes the music work flawlessly. So something about this phone, and where it's located versus the head unit) causes BT interference.

I've since updated my phone to the OnePlus 3T, and it doesn't have this issue. So there is something about the M8 specifically (and in conjunction with my car head unit) that causes the problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FIFATG:
I'm glad I'm not alone at least.

It is an issue with the M8 only, because other phones work normally, regardless of where they are in the car.

Thanks for the help, I'll try to find a different spot for the phone.

Or just upgrade eventually.

TWRP restore not working for one ROM
