Unroot for airwatch

I've installed this ROM successfully, and it's great! My issue is that i work for a company that allows BYOD and they require Airwatch MDM to be installed so that corporate email can be accessed. I would like to keep the debloated aspect of the GPE. I have tried to use RootCloak with xposed framework on multiple ROMs to no avail. How can i get this ROM without root? I have tried to remove SU binarys and removed all su files, but i still get this device is compromised message when trying to compete airwatch installation and after a couple days i get a message from system admin to remove the mail app. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Interestingly, my company just started using AirWatch as well, so I also had to come up with a way to use this ROM without root.

That part is easy - just remove the SuperSU folder from the zip and the relevant lines from the updater-script. You'll also need to remove the line that installs busybox. That should leave the ROM unrooted and AirWatch should work fine. At least it does for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] CableGuy77:
Thank you for your fast reply. I have removed the su folder from the zip file, and I have the updater script open and see the super user and busy box lines. Do I just delete everything between # updater-script-80 and # updater-script-85-USER including those entries?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Wherever those lines are.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] CableGuy77:
I have removed all lines related to su and busybox and successfully installed the ROM. I installed airwatch agent and finished the setup only to then get the "this device failed root check" message. I'm lost. I do not have root as far as I can tell. No su files, no busybox. I do have custom recovery, but that's all.:confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
If I unsecured the boot image, AirWatch would also fail the root check. You'll have to use a program like Android Image Kitchen to unpack the boot image. Change the ro.secure line in default.prop in the ramdisk to =1 instead of zero using a program like Notepad++. Repack and flash the image in recovery and see if AirWatch passes root check.

help mee

i have sprint m8 and i change my phone's cid to 11111111. But i cant install the brightstar m8 rom. the is an error 130 plssss help meee !!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Wrong thread.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Zzz73:
delete please. stupid question i answered myself.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ink718:
Would it be ok if I delete any google system apps i dont need, such as Google+, Google photos and a few others? Or would that cause system problems?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It may cause some problems, yes. You're better off just disabling them and then if you find out you need one, you can re-enable it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Leonarthius:
Not sure if I should post it here or in the development section, but today I got a security update from Google on my phone. I haven't taken it but I know it's there. Question no1: Should I? (I'm guessing it's a no)

Also, more importantly. I noticed that HTC Gallery is nowhere in my phone. I can't update it on the store, it just gives me an error, nor I can install the APK from APK mirror. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix? Better alternative gallery? (not Google Photos, please lol)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You should at least read the Development/Discussion thread prior to posting.

And HTC Gallery is partially included on the device, as it's what's used to support Duo Effects in pictures taken with Google Camera. Google Photos is the only app that'll navigate photos properly, unless you can find a 3rd party app that works.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Leonarthius:
I did read it right before posting. It was left at as we should not take the update; hence, why I didn't. I was hoping on secondary comments just in case it could have been safe or not since it only seemed like security updates.

As per the comments on the HTC Gallery, that's a bit confusing because on the lollipop version, the gallery worked just fine. The app supposedly has android M support so that's why I thought about something was wrong. I noticed that this HTC app is required for the HTC Gallery app to function, but on the playstore, it says my phone is not compatible with it. Is this also included into the ROM?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
That app isn't required for HTC Photo Edit to work (which is the portion of Gallery included in the ROM). The included version does what it's supposed to do; if you want it to do something else, that goes beyond the scope of the thread.

I answered the question about updating in the other thread directly. I have no additional comments on that.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PartimusPrime:
For the latest update of the ROM, are the updated Sprint blobs included or do we flash those separately? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
We still don't have Marshamllow blobs. So, no Sprint blobs are included. Unless you see that listed as a change in the change log, it hasn't changed.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] SublimeMogul:
So I'm having a weird issue with install of 6.0 on my Sprint HTC M8. I've flashed the recommended firmware without issue, updated TWRP to 2.8.7.0 and downloaded Sprint M8 - GPE Port - 5.07.1700.8 - Android 6.0 to flash on the device. I wipe everything and then flash the file without issue on my S-off device. It appears to go just fine, but once I reboot it sits at the Marshmallow loading screen forever. Well so far the longest I've left it was 35 minutes. I've tried redownloading and checked the MD5 of the file which comes back fine. I've tried reinstalling TWRP and reupdating the firmware after checking the firmware MD5 as well, but nothing seems to resolve this for me. I've even gone so far as to try and RUU, reroot and flash it all over again with no luck... No idea what I could possibly be missing. Any guesses from you fine folks?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Are you flashing anything after the ROM (like root or Xposed)? What was your exact wiping procedure?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] SublimeMogul:
Advanced wipe--> Dalvik cache, cache, system,data and android secure (for no reason). I did choose to install SuperSU, could that be causing an issue you think?

---------- Post added at 03:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Looks like SuperSu was the issue....
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Um, yeah, you can't use TWRP to install SuperSU. That version isn't compatible with Marshmallow, which is why I list two compatible Superuser app/zips in the OP.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] SublimeMogul:
Yeah, my usual jackassery...

Put this on wife's M8 HK last night. She was on latest stock SW for the HarmonKardon version of the M8, 4.25.654.18 to be exact.

Her device was only unlocked at BL, but stock everything else until last night.

I flashed TWRP no problem, backed up stock ROM.

Install went longer than I thought it would, but seemed to complete ok.

Set her up over night. Used it fine today, I called her and she couldn't hear me in earpiece, put it on speaker and she said it was still very quiet, like i was whispering almost.

Any ideas on what I should look for?

I want to keep her on GPE but she needs the phone to function properly.

Any help is appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
First time I'm hearing of any issue like this. Though because her phone is an HK Edition, it's possible that the HK adsp is the problem. Flashing the standard M8 adsp firmware from the firmware thread linked in the OP might be helpful.

But as far as I know, this isn't an issue anyone else has with the ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] riggsandroid:
Any other users reading this on HK edition?

Let me go see what's in the firmware files.

Thanks BTW
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jshow816:
I am...

I had been on Bad Boys for years until last night. I have an HK edition (s-off) and flashed the 4.25.654.18 modified firmware (no boot, no recovery) from the link in the GPE Rom thread. I flashed GPE last night and I'm not having any issues with call volume through the earpiece or speakerphone.

Matter of fact I'm not really having any problems at all with this ROM. Should have switched to GPE a looong time ago. THANKS GUYS!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jayandvic:
I am on an HK with the HK firmware with no issues.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] onema:
Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to get HK audio on GPE i have version .08 and it says boomsound in the sound settings. I have flashed the aroma installer for HK audio but then it just stays on marshmallow intro screen. Any advice appreciated.

Also I have the non hk m8 if that makes a difference
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
No, it's not possible.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Icephoenix231@yahoo.com:
I've got a Sprint M8 and am receiving the following error when trying to flash the ROM over:

"This package is for "'htc_m8whl,m8whl' devices; this is a 'm8spr'"'

Followed by an error and aborted installation. I'm using latest version of the stock ROM, is there some setting that I have incorrect? I'm not rooted, using Phillz recovery, and am wiping/factoryresetting before attempting to flash the ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
^ that's your problem

The OP lists TWRP as the recommended recovery for a reason ;).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Icephoenix231@yahoo.com:
That was the issue. Ugh, now I'm 'that guy'.

For some reason I thought that Phillz was a fork/derivative of TWRP. Shows how long I've been out of the Android game.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I installed the newest htc browser apk that I downloaded from apk mirror, just cuz I like that browser, and it works except that when I click on links to download something from that browser, nothing happens. Any ideas? Would I also need the download ui from a sense rom by any chance?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You might need the settings from /system/customize/ACC/default.xml for HTC Browser to work right. Or might need some other stuff, but you could try that first.

EDIT: Adding the values from the "Internet" app section of the default.xml mentioned above and rebooting got it working for me. You just have to allow the app the proper permission when prompted, and it should download fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ink718:
How do I install the systemless root so that android pay works? I followed instruction in OP and installed seSuperuser, im rooted but android pay says it cant recognize if its android compatible. Also i restored my contacts but don't see them under sms account. My text messages are there but they aren't showing the contacts name, however I do see them when i go to the phone app.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] JONBOY345:
Has anyone been able to get the HTC Mail app to work with this ROM?

I tried a few months back, but no dice.

I installed the HTC Service Pack and then the App but it wouldn't play nicely.

Thanks in advance.

Need to fastboot flash what boot image?

i am downloading the GPE rooted rom right now as we speak,i downloaded the Elemental x kernel and threw it on my internal storage. All that the original thread for the GPE ROM states is to flash it in recovery and reboot,and you said to also flash the custom kernal (since i am s-on) but what is this other step about flashing the boot image,what boot image are you talkin about? please direct me to it. - Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You quoted a post from months ago that is unrelated to the current version of the ROM. So I'm not sure what it is you need. Just flash the ROM - you don't have to do anything else, and certainly don't flash ElementalX.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] NickPorter:
Layers

Does this ROM support layers theming? Can't seem to find an answer and can't seem to get it working. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Chewieez:
If I'm on the non-rooted version and want to move to the rooted version, can I just dirty flash the rooted rom? Or do I need to wipe and start fresh? Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Easier just to flash the latest SuperSU Beta to root. That's the only significant difference between the two versions.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Chewieez:
Oh yeah, that's way easier. Thank you!!

Outgoing SMS not working

First off thanks for a stable ROM! I've LOVED it so far.

The only problem that I've run into is with outgoing SMS. I can receive text messages just fine, but about half of the time I'll be unable to send one. Whenever I send one, I get some kind of "message failed, tap to retry" message. I've never had this problem before flashing to this ROM. This happens in several text apps.

When this happens, I've always have mobile data/LTE. Websites, apps, calls, work fine. Even receiving texts works great. The only thing I can't do is send one.

I know there's not much information here, but if there's anything else that I can provide to help debug this issue, just let me know! I've been using this ROM even though it means I can't text (I like it that much!).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PartimusPrime:
When this happens, turn airplane mode on for like 10 seconds then turn it off and try again.

Some Dumb Questions

I have a Verizon stock M8 (last firmware) locked bootloader and s-on, I got temporary root(through the free sunshine app) a few days ago and I was able to install and use TWRP but I didn't try to install a custom rom (so I lost root after I rebooted). Can I install this ROM with this method? or do I have to buy the full sunshine app?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BarackMitzvah:
Does the newest February build have a sensified version? The file name seems to suggest it isn't and I've been loving the sense version

Asked and answered. Please use search.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PartimusPrime:
Is there a way to enable FM Radio? I tried using the NextRadio app but get the attached message. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
NextRadio won't work because it's looking for specific values in build.prop that identify a Sprint device. There are also some edits necessary in the ROM and ramdisk for it to function, as well as the inclusion of some APKs from Sense. The Sensified version has the stock FM Radio app included and working, though.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] odean14:
Hi I noticed that every time I play music and the phone sleeps the audio gets really messed up. I have the HK version btw. Is there a fix for this issue? Other wise from that I have no issues with this awesome ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Zzz73:
i had this same issue until i flashed the new firmware. not having any issues now.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BarackMitzvah:
If we wanted to use the HTC camera app with the stock ROM that you included a few versions ago, would it work if it was side loaded after the flash or with DH's sensify xposed app?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You'd need to put it in /system/priv-app for it to work correctly. I'll probably be releasing a BeyondStockᵀᴹ version of the ROM with it included, though, since I like to use it on mine as well. I'm just waiting for [MENTION=1148003]lyapota[/MENTION] to update his ROM so I can use his APM mod ;).

The one from the previous ROM didn't process Duo Effects properly since it was from the A9.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BarackMitzvah:
To be clear, do you mean the camera apk, sensify, or both? And yeah, its pretty nice, gives a nice speed improvement over the stock app. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You don't need Sensify to use the HTC Camera.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] odean14:
I have s-on, do I have to relock the bootloader to flash firmware update? Or can I flash as is right now?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Zzz73:
sorry bro, I'm s-off so I'm not totally familiar with the procedures you have to do.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] odean14:
Oh okay, I just flash an update and I still have the same issue. Sigh I guess I'm probably going to have go back to sense. Damn
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Are you using the correct adsp firmware for the ROM?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] odean14:
I think so. Since I'm on marshmallow I assume I should use the "6.20.654.3_firmware". Isn't that the right one?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
That's a full firmware. I'm talking about just the adsp firmware. You need to flash non-HK adsp firmware since the ROM doesn't support HK audio. That's likely the cause of your audio issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] odean14:
Oh okay, I didn't know that. I thought since I have the HK version I probably would have issues. Can you link to the download of that firmware? I thought since I have the HK version I need to flash the HK firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The only thing that makes the HK version different (from a software standpoint) is the firmware and the ROM. If you're not using the stock HK ROM or a compatible version, then you should be using the standard version firmware. It should be in the same thread where you got the HK firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] odean14:
Okay thank I'll flash the normal firmware and report back.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] odean14:
Okay, so I flashed the non-HK firmware but I still had the issue. I the flashed the updated version of the kernel and it helped a little the problem was still there. So I thought that maybe it was a MOD or something in the rom, so I just did a system wipe, factory reset and rebooted by accident. And the ROM louded up(no I didn't reflash that time)!!! But it was not rooted. So I decided to try the audio again with the screen off and well I wasn't having the issue anymore(for now at least). So I went back and RE-rooted the ROM.

Side note: the xposed framework MOD stuff is not installed.

It's all weird to me, never had any issues dealing with roms.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rpcollins1:
I'm only going to address the Sunshine question, as I don't know the first thing about flashing a Sprint Rom onto a Verizon phone. If you have the money to spend, getting s-off through Sunshine is the best possible thing you can do if you are at all serious about trying different Roms. 3 years ago achieving s-off was a gigantic pain that required a crap-load of work on both the developer end and the user end. Now you literally can push a button in an app because the devs conjured some kind of amazing magic. Completely worth it and it literally couldn't be easier.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It's not just a Sprint ROM. It works on all CDMA devices.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BarackMitzvah:
Anyone know of a way to enable VoLTE on this rom? I have it enabled via Verizon's website, but I am not able to toggle the "Turn on VoLTE Provisioned Flag" in *#*#INFO#*#* -> Phone Information menu. I'm on Verizon on the latest MM firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rumgool:
I keep getting zip file is corrupt trying to flash this ROM (latest 6.0 rooted GPE). I am running the latest version of TWRP on the latest stock Marshmallow release currently. I have downloaded it 5 times now with no luck. I'm on a Sprint M8.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Try a different browser or computer. There's nothing I can do about a bad download.

P.S. Using the term "latest" isn't helpful because at any given point in time, the latest might not be what you think it is. ALWAYS be specific when providing information, as that's the only way anyone can help you to troubleshoot.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Hans5849:
I'd like to know how as well.

---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

How do I enable the advanced power menu when pressing the power button? I just switched ROMs and this was included in my previous ROM by default.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
APM isn't a stock function. You can use Xposed + Gravity Box for it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Hans5849:
I thought that might be the response, I just don't want to install Xposed.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Chewieez:
I haven't been on this rom in a while. Is Android Pay working? Does anyone have a solid tethering app that works? I've been on BadBoys V4 mainly for those two things but I'd much rather not have Sense. It is quite nice though to just tap the quick settings for Mobile Hotspot and have it work everytime. I've been using the Wifi Tether app but I had not been able to get it to work on the past few versions of this GPE rom.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Android Pay should be working fine, and so should native tethering. I've never had an issue with either.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Chewieez:
Thanks for the quick response!

Can I have root and android pay at the same time? Like BadBoys is setup in it's stock config? I don't need Xposed but do like some apps to have root access.

Does native tethering allow tethering on LTE, or is it 3G only?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
The ROM comes rooted, and Android Pay works fine.

And native tethering works on whatever network you're connected to, including LTE.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Hans5849:
How do I delete a post?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
You have to install the HK adsp. It says that in the post with the BeyondStock release notes. That, of course, requires S-OFF. So if you're S-OFF, you should be able to install it.

I just added it to the Downloads tab and tried to make that clearer in the ROM description.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Hans5849:
I was having problems finding the proper ADSP. Thank you.

Tested and working!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thendyy:
The MD5 for the GPE ROM checks out. I boot into recovery -> Flash ROM -> boot into bootloader -> fastboot flash image -> reboot -> then it optimizes and gets stuck in a bootloop.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
No need to fastboot flash the kernel since you're S-off. Do a full wipe in recovery and reflash the ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thendyy:
Okay I'll give this a try. I honestly appreciate the quick and helpful responses. For real.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
No worries.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thendyy:
So the thread says that if it's unlocked you still need to fastboot flash the image, are you saying that even if it's unlocked I don't have to?

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 PM ----------

Yup, still got stuck...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
No you shouldn't have to. I installed this ROM awhile back and had no issues getting it to boot. I'm also S-off and didn't fastboot flash the kernel for it to boot.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
If you are S-OFF, you don't have to fastboot flash the boot image. That's for people that are unlocked, but S-ON.

I'm not sure what your issue is. What recovery are you using? Where exactly is it getting stuck?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ImSt00pid:
Just started using this ROM this week. Very nice. Runs smooth, no hiccups.

Is the Eye update on the way?

I tried to flash the Bad Boyz Eye camera and it wouldn't work. I started to figure that the Eye Experience was not for GPE, am I right to assume that?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thendyy:
I'm using TWRP and everything will go through, Google startup screen will start and optimize, abd as soon as I get to the lock screen it will loop.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ImSt00pid:
I had boot loop issues when I first flashed. I was coming from 4.4.3

I did a full wipe and re-flashed, no problems since.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Not for GPE, correct. And I don't expect there to be an Eye update for GPE.

Which TWRP?

Wait, what do you mean, your apps are optimizing? It sounds like you aren't clean flashing. Are you properly wiping before flashing the ROM?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thendyy:
