[Verizon HTC One (M8)] axmirza2:
Hi, I flashed this rom (the new 5.0 official build) 4 times today and I wanted to let people know my experience

1st flash was coming from PA 4.4.4 and I used twrp to flash it, I opted for the full wipe option through aroma installer. After pressing finish something odd happened, the phone just went blank and would'nt respond to me pressing power or holding power, and the LED didn't light up when I plugged in the phone, but I could swipe on the screen and it would vibrate. I assume that twrp was still on in the background, but for some reason the screen wouldn't power on. Oddly enough, after about 8 minutes, the screen turned itself on and I was able to reboot. It booted up fine, initial boot took about 10 mins. After it first booted, it started downloading my 80-something apps and as it was downloading I was looking through the settings and things when I opened chrome and tried to open a new tab, the phone froze and restarted. Took 3 minutes to boot this time and then everything started working. While the apps were still downloading I made the mistake of opening and installing cf.lumen thinking that I could reboot after I was done downloading the apps, unfortunately it rebooted instantly and I got stuck in a bootloop at the HTC red text screen. I had to go into recovery and reinstall the rom.

2nd flash was coming from the same build, I opted again for the full wipe through aroma installer, and the same thing happened where I couldn't see the screen but it would vibrate if I swiped. I waited 8 minutes, and it booted up. Initial boot took about 10 mins again. I waited for all my apps to download, but I encountered one random reboot when downloading the apps, but it booted up normally after that. Then I downloaded a dpi changing app; all the app does is change the value in build.prop. I changed the dpi from 480 to 400 and restarted. I got stuck in the same bootloop that I got before, the htc red text screen. So I opened up recovery and I pressed fix permissions hoping it would do something. When my phone rebooted instead of being in a bootloop, it was just stuck at the htc red text and wouldn't respond at all. So I left it unplugged and turned it face down and I went to sleep. This morning I plugged the phone in, booted it up hoping that I would see a lockscreen, but unfortunately it stuck at the same red text screen. So I drained the battery and went into recovery when rebooting this time.

3rd flash was this morning, after going into recovery I made sure to use the TWRP wipe option. I flashed the rom and this time when I pressed reboot it showed me the screen and I could swipe to unlock and reboot normally. First boot took about 10 minutes again and I only downloaded 30 apps this time dreading another bootloop. When downloading the apps I experienced a random reboot again, but it booted up normally. So after the apps were downloading I tried powering the phone down and rebooting manually to see if the problem was something I did or if it was the rom. It took a while to boot, 4 or 5 minutes but it did boot into a lockscreen normally. After that I tried using cf.lumen and installed the drivers and rebooted. Boot took again about 4 minutes but it booted normally. S̶o̶ ̶f̶a̶r̶ ̶I̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶h̶a̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶y̶ ̶m̶a̶j̶o̶r̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶b̶l̶e̶m̶s̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶i̶f̶ ̶I̶ ̶d̶o̶,̶ ̶I̶'̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶u̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶r̶e̶p̶o̶r̶t̶ ̶b̶a̶c̶k̶. I just restarted the phone and started it up and got stuck in bootloop

4th flash I flashed the new version with the firmware included, no bootloops yet.

edit: WiFi doesn't work, but I think other users are experiencing that too.

edit2: Just powered phone off and then started it back up again, and I'm back in bootloop at the red text -_-
