And you're using the latest - 2.8.0.3, right?

Definitely wipe at least cache, data & system prior to flashing.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thendyy:
Yes 2.8.0.3 and alright I'm doing that right now. I'll let you know how it goes. Again thanks for the quick responses and help <3

Hotspot

I recently flashed this rom and it seems pretty awesome. I've had some issues with the data connection taking a bit to switch between LTE and 3G but it usually seems to work itself out. I now tried the native hotspot on my phone and I could not get other devices to connect when using a password. After multiple attempts it would just say the password was incorrect even though we double checked it. We did get another device to connect if I turned the password feature off, but then the device said it wasn't connected to the internet. I've searched the thread for an answer, but found none. Any ideas? And yes, the hotspot feature is included in my plan through Sprint.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Try to first connect without a password, and then add one. I haven't used this ROM for a while, but I thought tethering was working fine last time I tried it (even without a tethering plan).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ecuaryan:
Hey, thanks for the quick response! I tried that and it's still a no go. While reading through parts of this thread I did see posts where others said hotspot was working for them . . .

I lost root on the new GPE lollopop ROM, does anybody know how to get it back ?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Root should just work. Are you S-ON?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rick1221:
No I am S OFF, I installed Titanium back up and it gave me an error and it said i didn't have root so I unistalled supersu now I dont know how to get it back.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Rick1221:
I was able to use the LTE fix but now under the cell network icon it says roaming indicator on is that going to be a problem?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
That was because Titanium Backup needed to be updated, which it now has been. That issue had nothing to do with root or SuperSU.

So i got the lollipoo gpe rom but the wifi doesnt work is it because my last stock sense rom was 4.4.3 and if i have to update how can i do that without losing my root
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, you need to be on the latest Sense firmware (4.4.4) for the GPE ROM to work properly. You can flash the firmware as a standalone as long as you're S-OFF, without affecting anything.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] androidy13:
Thanks for responding so, so when u said flash the firmware do you mean find the Sprint 4.4.4 rom and flash that in twrp? Btw I'm s off

input on ROM

HK 4.4.4 firmware, and s-off, cpt modified kernel from Beyond Stock, booting as secondary ROM. Using MultiRom. Thank you sir! Everything running good with the exception of the Cast Screen capabilities. Using the standard Chromecast options work. The Android 5 Cast Screen simply doesn't show the Chromecast. Nor the wireless display device from Microsoft (actually, it briefly appears and then disappears.) Both devices are known working on my Nexus 7 using a rooted factory image. Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I have no way to test that, but if it's not working, it must be an issue with the base, as I changed almost nothing. We'll see if the final version has the same issue, I suppose.

Can the ElementalX kernel you modded for the 4.4.4 gpe rom be used with the new lollipop rom?

If I am S-On can I flash the firmware via Fastboot? This is something I've always been confused about. I RUU'd to the 4.4.4 firmware and was running Captain's port. Now, I'd like to upgrade to this official release. I read and understand you don't NEED to flash the newest 5.0 firmware. But, for the sake of knowledge, I was wondering how I would do it if I need to. Thanks!

No. You must be S-OFF.

APN lost on Reboot and no 3G fallback

When I reboot my phone I come back with no APN selected, re-selecting 3G or LTE seems to fix that problem until the next reboot. However I only am able to get 4G if I go in and manually select the LTE APN and I do not fall back to 3G data when I have no LTE signal in this configuration. It seems right now I can only get LTE or 3G not both based on what is available. Is there any fix for this or is it just a symptom of not having the complete tools available yet?

wifi?

Ok so idk if im in the right place/thread to get my question answered but i hope some one can help or direct me to where i need to be. i have a rooted sprint htc m8 with s-on i have flashed the GPE 4.4.4 port and currently i am running the skydragon 5.0 rom. my question is with s-on is there a work around to getting the wifi to work as i can see that most threads have said no you should be s-off? i know it sound redundent when people ask the same thing over and over again but i was just making that last effort to see if anyone had a backdoor way of getting wifi to work. any assistance would be greatly appreciative.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
WiFi should work fine, as long as you're on the latest Sense firmware (4.4.4). However if you take the OTAs to upgrade to 4.4.4, it's very possible you won't be able to S-OFF for a while. I recommend getting S-OFF, and then the rest of the process is much easier.

Can I please get some help here? I can't see anytime there are emojis and other languages on my phone. It doesn't show up. Its just blank. I have the Skydragon GPE ROM and I didn't like the font so I changed it to Roboto Condensed, so I'm thinking this could be the problem. I tried asking before but no one answered my questions. I have a couple of pictures of what I see in emojis: http://imgur.com/a/kz3Ec . It looks like that when trying to see some emojis. Sometimes, I don't this its emojis and it'll be blank, or show something that looks like a rectangle with a cross in the middle.

Another issue I've encountered is playing videos that I've recorded. When I go to photos and try to play, it turns into an image and doesn't play the video at all.

I would appreciate any help.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Looks like you're in the wrong thread . . . this Q&A is for my GPE ROM.

But seems like you know what your problem is - you changed the font. So, change it back.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Batista315:
I did, it got worse. Where should I go to get this answered anyway?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The Q&A thread of the ROM you're running.

You should probably just do a clean flash and start over.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Batista315:

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You have to be on the latest 4.4.4 Sprint firmware for the ROM to work properly.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ImSt00pid:
I came from the GPE 4.4.4 working fine.

Can anyone help with this? I cant write anything to internal storage, and can't download from email/internet...

I've tried unmounting my sd and reboots, I've tried clearing camera data...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
This isn't a ROM issue. No one else has issues with internal storage.

My only advice would be to boot into TWRP and wipe data/internal storage and reflash the ROM. You mitt have to use the "Format Data" option in the TWRP Wipe Menu.

EDIT: This may be a recovery issue. What recovery are you using? Please provide the version number as well as where you got it from.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ImSt00pid:
Im using TWRP v2.8.0.3

Got it from this site.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
That's an old TWRP.

Please try updating your TWRP to the 2.8.2.1 version uploaded here. You may have to wipe data/internal storage or format data to get it back to normal. But after updating hopefully the issue won't return.

Google Play Rom 5.0.1 Wifi issues

Hi, new to the forum, but been using XDA roms for years.

Sprint HTC One M8 unlocked, rooted S-on

Just flashed Capt's Google Play edition 5.0.1 for Sprint HTC Harmon M8. Beautiful, fast running rom.

But for some reason my wifi is not working. I've rebooted, reflashed, still no wifi, it won't even turn on.

I did a clean install with TWRP c2.7.1.0

I'm going to try to flash the rom again with a new version of TWRP. Is their any additional suggestions to get the wifi working? Thanks!

UPDATE: Just learned I may need to be S-off. I've flashed to a stock rooted RUU, no change. But I didn't have wifi on those either. I don't think it's related to GPE rom. I did update to the latest TWRP. I'm trying to use sunshine to S-0ff, no such luck. I'm a little lost on the wifi problem. Is it a firmware issue? etc. Many Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The ROM is set up for Sprint, so of course it defaults back to CDMA, lol. Have you tried flashing [MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION]'s original (GSM) stock rooted? It seems to me that should work if you're not using the device on a CDMA network.

Yes, firmware is indeed your issue. You need to update to the latest 4.4.4 firmware, which, since you're S-OFF, can most easily done via RUU (which can be downloaded from HTC). Once you install that latest update, Wi-Fi should work fine on this ROM.

P.S. Your TWRP is outdated. I recommend updating it to my latest version (2.8.2.1).

Problem activating Wifi

After unlocking, rooting, installing CWM, and finally installing the GPE 5.0.1 rom, I've encountered an issue with the wifi.

I have enjoyed the Rom immensely all day, as the main goal of the rooting and unlocking was to run Hearthstone on my HTC m8.

Though I have an unlimited data plan through sprint, I have come to realize that moving the wifi slider to on fails to activate any wifi services. The slider itself will return to the off position after a few seconds or a locked screen. In the on position the wifi list just shows the help tip about turning on wifi.

I don't know what information you would like about my phone or version, but I would be happy to share whatever it is.

Backup the ROM in recovery, wipe and flash back to Sense (restoring a nandroid will work) and choose device only for location in Settings. Open a GPS app like GPS Test and get a 3D fix. Immediately reboot to recovery and restore your backup. GPS should now work.

This isn't really an issue with the ROM; it's an inconsistency with Qualcomm hardware and GPE/AOSP ROMs. It happens sporadically and randomly on some devices.

Is there any permanent fix for the phantom voicemail notification on Sprint gpe/aosp based ROMS? I've tried all of the suggestions I could find including google voice tweaking/digging into the source and setting the voicemail count to zero etc and none of them stick through a reboot. Also reappears when I go through a no-service area. Wondering if there's something blatantly obvious that I am missing or maybe something on Sprint side i will have to live with? I have been switching between Captain Throwback and Digitalhigh GPE ports for Sprint M8 with latest firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
You could search the old HTC Hero (CDMA) threads for "phantom voicemail" its been several years but I remember reading a few times people with the same problem using AOSP/CM based ROMs. IIRC, the problem had to do with an uncleared VM from an old "dumbphone". Reactivating an old flip phone on your line, clearing the voicemail, and reactivate the Hero was the only solution. Not sure if it still applies, or if I am even remembering all the details correctly, but worth a shot if you have an old Sprint phone laying around
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] suicidal acorn:
I've been dealing with it for 3 years now and I have also tried everything. The only solution I have found to get rid of it for good is to deactivate your current phone, switch to an old dumb phone, leave a voicemail on that phone, clear your voicemail on that phone, then reactivate your smartphone. I can't try that because I don't have any dumb phones, but it's supposedly the only solution that will work if nothing else does

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
What you're missing is that this is a port of a GSM ROM to CDMA. If you want to use it on GSM, just use the original ROM from which this was ported, with the boot.img from this one so it boots.

This ROM defaults to CDMA settings. You can change the network mode in the *#*#INFO#*#* menu, but that will only last until you reboot, as the build.prop is set to default to CDMA Network settings.
