flash 4.4.4 firmware

can you flash the 4.4.4 firmware via recovery? im not sure how to flash through Hboot
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Parker Skouson:
No Boot animation?

Odd thing when I installed the rom, no boot animation? Just stays and the HTC splash screen and says nothing. Boots up fine, but just takes a long time. Any ideas?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EvoEryk:
I just upgraded on 4.4.4 firmware. So far so good, everything is running smooth. Going to have to get use to not having any Xposed tweaks. Thanks a lot for your hard work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
No. You need to put it on your SD and name it 0P6BIMG.ZIP

Or use fastboot google it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EvoEryk:
It seems like Google Play services are draining my battery on this recent rom. I upgraded to version 6.5 and I'm getting a lot of awake time and lots of packets being sent and received. Anyone have a fix for this or know what is going on?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] injuredreserve:
What did you do to get to 6.5? I dirty flashed the 11/22 image over the the 11/21 and I'm still at 6.1.88.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] neuor:
I dirty flashed as well and I'm still on 6.1 too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] EvoEryk:
I found the 6.5 apk on apkmirror. Anyways it seems to be a combination of the services and wifi not working correctly. My wifi turns on and off randomly when the screen is off. I lost about 35% battery overnight just idle.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] neuor:
I installed version 6.5.87 (1599771-438) from apkmirror which is so far working great. I'd post the link if the forum allowed me to.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
I tried installing that and i keep getting a notification saying an application requires an update and in the play store it says the version 6.1.xxx
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Gerry--Tucker:
Gps works great for me. Fast lock.

twrp 2.8.10 (Make sure you are on newest version of recovery, it does fix problems sometimes at least for me it has before.)

vzw m8 phone had supercid then bell cid both gave signal problems but now back to VZW__001 cid

mid vzw as always.

Would love to change my cid and mid and whatever else to make my phone fully BELL canada if I could figure out how.

Bell Canada user

did a full wipe (left sd card alone) and internal storage. in twrp then again when installing

was running vzw 4.4.4 firmware installed fastboot method and flashed the custom firmware before install and again via sd after reboot of install as it goes to hboot and picks up file if sitting on base dir of sd card.

Came from RKDN which I had issues with my signal shutting down losing apn settings ect. But was cause im verizon phone on bell network and supercid does work well with 4.4.4 from my experience.

Love how this works. Really nice to have a big change in visuals.

Just running a few hours so will see how it goes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Regarding the need for an SD card for the firmware to be flashed via the hboot method... I have one (1) Lexar 4GB microSD card I am doing absolutely nothing with. I'm willing to put it in an envelope, write a US address on it, put a stamp on it, and drop it in the box. Honestly, I'm more worried about taking my 32GB card out, putting it in, and making sure it's blank. But after that... Well, it isn't doing me any good. So it's free to a good home. Though, if you can afford it, microSD cards are so cheap. I mean, at the low end, you can get 8GB for $6.70 or 16GB for $7.99. For something a bit nicer, here's 32GB for $14.99 and 64GB for $34.65. No referral links here, just quick Amazon searches. Kinda want that last one. I have 32GB now, and only 3GB free on it. Nandroids and music add up. But anyway, if you look at the numbers, what's a 4GB card worth? Three bucks? Four? If even that? It's one Nandroid, a few Mp3 albums, some pictures... Not a lot of room. Anyway, if you need one and you live in the states... I got one I'm not doing anything with.

tl;dr: Free 4GB microSD card to a good home, first come first served, US only.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] srt4b:
Been running the rom since it showed up on the AFH feed.

Few issues:

-I have to toggle airplane mode a lot when leaving WiFi to get mobile data connectivity.

-The WiFi signal seems to be twice as strong as on previous radios. I am getting full bars WiFi in my car outside of work where I usually will loose it at the door. Not sure if the icon is a true representation of connectivity

-The camera takes ...FOREVER... to load.

-No lag at all. This is the smoothest Android experience I have ever had. Swiftkey updating the same day may have helped also.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Syflox:
What build? Firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
Should the baseband update or stay the same after flashing the new firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ahodson1985:
I can't speak for the person you quoted but I tried doing that on Viper ROM earlier and it didn't do anything. Didn't appear to dial anything or prompt anything. Did I not do it right?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Some Tech Noob:
On my first flash of the ROM the photos app would crash when I clicked it(wouldn't even open).

Installed it again and now it opens. However, there's no "HTC Photo Gallery" or "Gallery", so I don't know how I'm supposed to be able to apply duo effects at the moment.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
Your not suppose to apply duo effects this a gpe based rom not sense based and HTC gallery is for sense based so no go
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] smiley4017:
OK, I turned off WiFi and LTE showed up. Everything is running great.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tsxguy77:
Newest version from 11/21 is great. the one from 11/18 had a lot of lag and crashes. I like this a lot, although the camera takes a looooong time
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] emmittobie:
I had the same experience. I was on CleanRom 3.0 and when I tried it on the dialer it didn't do anything as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Some Tech Noob:
Ah, ok.

Well I guess the second camera just sits around doing nothing then. Loving the ROM so far - it's the first one I've ever flashed.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
at least that's what I think I could be wrong, if I am wrong someone say so
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dadmi:
GPS lock

I had the same problem and tried numerous times switching between this ROM and sense based ROMs. Finally I installed GPS status & toolbox, increased screen timeout to 15 minute and left the phone to get a gps lock. After almost 10 minutes, gps worked and I get a lock in around 10 seconds now. Not sure if I was lucky but it worked for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ahodson1985:
I might try again tomorrow when my phone is charged again. Coming from a few Samsung phones (Where I never flashed ANYTHING really other than stock because the kernels never ever got released and GPS was always broken) I never could get a lock on a non-stock ROM, even with all the A-GPS clearing/downloading waiting for locks etc. It's one of the major reasons I jumped ship to HTC (verizon still sucks though)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] titanshadow:
I had to flash back to stock Sense when mind did that. Had similar issues with my Galaxy S3.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mfinlay04:
Anyone having degraded audio quality through the headphones? I've tried Pandora, Apollo and Google Music and the sound is terrible. I did a clean flash and have tried project ERA audio, but the sound was bad both ways. I didn't test this on previous build unfortunately so idk if it's new or a persistent issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tlegower:
Anyone have an issue with Bluetooth not disconnecting? It took me a bit to get my LG Tones connected to this ROM. For some reason it didn't want to find the Tones. I had to turn Bluetooth off and back on again, then re-scan. Anyway, i powered off my Tones after a while but then a good while later my phone ran, but the phone was still trying to put the audio through the Tones instead of the phone. It hadn't disconnected the Tones even though they were now powered off. Anyone have any similar issues?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ryan1977:
Have you given viper4android a try.?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pstrang:
I was preparing to add stock ROM files, but I gave another shot to the GPE ROM 11-22 multirom. I rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik and cache, and then my GPS started working. The sky lights up with satellites from inside my home (i.e. 19 visible, 12 used in fix).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Some Tech Noob:
Just checked my GPS and found it also not working.

Trying this, will report back if it works or not.

Also, something to note: On my first flash, the photos app would crash upon launch(I'd click it and it's give me a message saying photos had stopped responding). I re-flashed the rom and everything seems pretty smooth so far.

//update: GPS still not working. Sigh. Now i need to try to find the stock gps.conf files.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] iweksler:
You can not install firmware from recovery. You do not need computer to install it from hboot: just copy the firmware zip file (0P6BIMG.zip) to the root of your external SD card, boot into the bootloader and do hboot. It'll recognize the firmware zip and install it.

If you don't have an external SD then you'll need a computer to flash it in fastboot RUU mode.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Some Tech Noob:
I flashed the 4.4.4 Sense 6 RUU and got the gps files. I then moved them into the /system/etc on digitalhigh's latest ROM, and now my GPS is working!

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to upload these two files though. If I'm allowed to and people want it, I'll happily upload them for you folks.

//edit: Well someone asked me how to do it, so here's how I did it. I need to sleep so meh. Thanks to rooted_by_nature for the fix information.

If you have your phone setup already, make a TWRP backup of everything you can checkbox.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/4s1ua8g8rlnba43/HTCONEM8_GPS444.zip

Download and Extract. Should be two files - gps.conf & gps.conf_default

Take the GPE_5.0_MULTI_DH_112214.01.zip (digitalhigh's ROM) and extract it. Navigate to GPE_5.0_MULTI_DH_112214.01\system\etc and copy the gps.conf & gps.conf_default into that directory. It should replace the two files already there.

Re-zip the whole rom(highlight everything in the GPE_5.0 folder [the one with additions, data, meta-inf, system, tools, boot.img]), and flash that zip as you normally would.

Restore your TWRP backup, except uncheck the system checkbox.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
Yeah I think it does haha my first gpe ROM as well no serious problems so far:)))
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dbroadus2007:
Thanks for this. I will try in a few hours..when im less sleepy, lol..its 2:54am where im at!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] anthony92170:
This may be strange but in settings under CDMA subscription it set as NV I had problems on some Roms when switched to ruim/sim no issues. But for some reason on any 5.0 Roms won't let you switch. I am able to send pictures on WiFi. Sprint user
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
How are you able to send pictures on WiFi? Are you sure your mobile data isn't on while WiFi is on? I can't send or receive pictures unless data is on. Sprint.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
I finally got GPS working. I flashed cleanrom and let it restore all my apps. I then used GPS test to get a GPS lock. I let it sit with GPS test running for 10 minutes

I then did a full wipe including the intetnal SD.

I then installed the latest DH build but did not reflash the firmware. Once my apps were restored i was able to get a GPS lock. I just tested again after 12 hours and i still get a GPS lock quickly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Lodingi:
Gonna give this a try. I assume you performed a full wipe when installing the DH Rom?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brackett5:
Do we have to have this firmware or just the one that verizon put out
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
As it states in the op you should use this firmware or else WiFi may not function correctly. You don't have to though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] asafegous:
I'm running fine on sense firmware.

Could the titanium backup not restoring or backing up in lollipop be due to the su issue in 5.0 or is it the app incompatibility with lollipop?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
I use tb yesterday and it worked fine for me ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sonicshaman:
I've had situations where titanium would hang up on a particular app. If I remove that from the queue it will work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
I'm guessing that might be because those apps aren't compatible with lollipop yet? I haven't had any issues with it I'm using version 6.2.0 with the pro license flawlessly
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] neuor:
Not sure then... I just downloaded the apk, installed it, and restarted my phone. In the settings apps list (not the play store) the version is now 6.5.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
Can you pm me a link to the one you downloaded please
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sonicshaman:
I'm running the same. I figured the same. Although sometimes I can then download the app from the store and it works.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Feldroid:
Is there a way to update to google services 6.5 on the latest rom ? I'm still showing 6.1.88
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
Download from apk mirror install reboot profit
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evil Genius Jr.:
Just installed this as my first custom ROM on my new M8 from an S3. Everything works, except when I try and open the gallery it says unauthorized device, any ideas? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
HTC gallery??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evil Genius Jr.:
Yes, I can get a screenshot in a minute if it will help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
I am pretty sure it won't work on this ROM because it is gpe not sense I will install the app and see what happens right now

Edit: OK I can't even find the gallery app on the play store, my suggestion would be to use the photo app from google that's what I am using
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evil Genius Jr.:
It was preinstalled when I loaded the ROM.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
Did you dirty flash
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ralph0015:
????

Really? It shouldn't because it would not work on a GPE ROM since it has no sense.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evil Genius Jr.:
Maybe it somehow got transferred over, but I didn't dirty flash.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] darienms1986:
If they clean flashed, it wasn't pre loaded, that is a sense app
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
That's what I'm sayin!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dukentre:
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 LTE does not fall back to 3G data when I have no LTE signal. It seems right now I can only get LTE or 3G (whichever is selected) not both based on what is available. Is there any fix for this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ralph0015:
I have never had the option to use the HTC gallery even when following the instructions in the OP.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] digitalhigh:
In camera app, swipe to the right to view pictures. Tap the pencil icon to edit the picture. Select HTC Photo Edit. All duo camera effects, boomsound audio, dotview, and HTC Weather stuff should work. The only thing it doesn't have is the gaudy HTC UI.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ralph0015:
Oh god, now I feel retarded. I was hitting the edit button in the Photo app.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HazyStrider:
That's good to know cause I read the op and didn't even see the part about the HTC stuff next time I won't assume things like that
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ralph0015:
At that, I apologize for disseminating incorrect information. I didn't willy nilly just assume it wasn't there, I just figured it wasn't working for lollipop since I had, incorrectly, tried what the OP had said.

It takes a lot more than what you said to get under my skin. I didn't take offense to it at all. Again, sorry.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ralph0015:
I'm sure that will help. Still, it was my own fault for not knowing how the camera worked. As hard as it is for me to admit, I didn't realize you could swipe the camera to view pictures. Haven't had the phone for long and honestly don't use the camera all that much.

Welp, you learn something new everyday.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] emmittobie:
Thanks to these two posts. I believe the GPS is now working. Will test in the field but the GPS seems to lock and signals are acquired from the satellites which was not happening before. Thanks again for the help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scorpion747:
Question?

Great work with the the room especially the 11/21 update. I want to know if others suffer from the same little problem that I have. I cannot even switch to 3 apps before each one reload again. For example I have chrome open, I go to settings and messages, then return to chrome and it reload every page that I have previously open.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nieman123:
I flashed the 11/21 update and I get stuck on the HTC screen. I assume since I dirty flashed coming from the 11/19 update. So I press volume up/down and the power button to get it to reboot, and then hold power and volume down to get it to boot into the boot loader options. It does, but when it does it goes into HBOOT and tries to load some zips or something and totally by passes the menu. Then it tells me to press the power button to reboot, then it gets stuck on the HTC logo again, and the cycle continues. Any help? Thanks :p

Edit: adb reboot recovery duh
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] titanshadow:
I don't see this issue either and I'm on Verizon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Natef53:
Does anyone have a solution for restoring SMS/MMS?

I've tried Titanium but after letting it sit on the restoring screen for over an hour it didn't restore any messages. Nandroid Manager restored some text messages but no MMS. I have the pro version of both, if it makes a difference.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scorpion747:
I wipe everything before flashing and my camera load pretty fast. Hope that help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
TB restored mine perfectly fine. If you don't get the prompt to switch your default messaging app to TB, it's not working right.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Natef53:
Did you use the yellow "Messages (SMS/MMS)" data only restore? I got the prompt to switch titanium to the default messaging app. I will have to give it another shot later today.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Hans5849:
So that leads to the next question, how does the new firmware work with 4.4.4? If things go wrong I'd like to be able to roll back to the 4.4.4.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TedLWJR:
Pretty sure my SIM card is being wonky, I flashed back to NuSense v4.02 and I'm still getting 3G there as well. I'm going to head to Verizon to get it replaced when they open up. I suspect the constant firmware flashing may have did it or the phone. I'm no pro lol. I suggest you look into this as well if you are unable to figure it out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] prosparky:
Great job on this ROM! Everything works as it should. I couldn't get a GPS lock, but a few reboots, and now it locks in seconds. The newest TiBu restored all my apps. Very snappy ROM, and good battery life. I'm loving Lollipop!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] taspankya:
@DH, will there be an updated version after HTC releases their final GPE build?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] haitu:
That's normal when titanium ask to switch. When I finished it ask to revert back to my preferred text app.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sabres032:
Try flashing stock recovery and factory reset within it before going to Verizon. That should reset the NV partitions to out of the box stock. Restore your nandroid and see if that fixes the issue.

Stock files can be found here.

i know this horse has been kicked over and over, but doors anyone have a link to viper 4 android that will flash and work with this ROM? i tried that Dolby one and... meh. the viper i downloaded wouldn't flash. i thought it might be a 5.0 compatibility issue. but if someone has a working one I'd sure appreciate it.

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
Google "viper4android" and download the apk from its thread. You don't need to flash it, just need to install the apk, root access and install the drivers within the app and reboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] iweksler:
Actually, you have to be on 4.4.4 firmware (3.28.605.2) before you flash the new fw included in this ROM. If I remember correctly there was a post in this thread saying that you can go back to a 4.4.4 ROM with the new fw. Anyway you can always flash the 4.4.4 fw back over the the new one.

Or you can stay on the 4.4.4 fw and just install the ROM - it gives you this option in the installer. Read the OP.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Hans5849:
Okay, my concern was I'm on vacation and if the new fw locked me out of 4.4.4 I'd have no way of going back until I get home.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 63sammo1:

You can apply those affects. After taking the picture swipe right and then select edit. You will get a list of apps. Choose HTC Photo Edit and you can apply it there.
