Noob questions

Hello,

1. After I install the SkyDragon ROM can I remove the root? I need the phone to be unrooted for some token banking apps (they don't work if they recognize that the rom is rooted)

2. Can I restore to the stock ROM from a Nandroid backup? Will everything be the same as before? I have the Orange Romania stock ROM version

3. What's the deal with Sense firmware and GPE firmware? I understood that if I want to revert to stock rom I need to keep the sense firmware.

4. Are there anymore downsides that I should take into consideration before making the switch? I use this phone as my daily driver. I want it to work like a charm.

Many thanks,

Paul

Hey, Great work with Lollipop 5 !

Rom is really fast and drains no battery!

These are the issue I faced while using it for a few days (fyi):

-sometimes wifi won't connect (random) and I have to restart (on newest sense Firmware)

-miracast won't find any devices

-Google Fotos FC, I use es file Explorer instead

-Google E-Mail app can be deleted as it is only opening the Gmail app

-Adaptive Brightness doesn't do anything

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

1. Remove SuperSU with a root explorer (es file Explorer) and restart

2. Yes

3. Newest Sense/GPE firmware will work, but you need the newest. if you go gpe you can reflash sense later again (but not through nandroid restore!)

4. It won't work like a charm, consider it a beta

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

No, just use the newest GPE firmware

GPE to stock nandroid restore via sense firmware

Thank you for the answers. The ROM works great so far. :D :good:

At point number 3.

Do you mean that if I flash gpe firmware and want to return to sense firmware I can' t do it via nandroid restore?

Now I have sense firmware on gpe rom. I want to restore to stock ROM. If I have the sense firmware, can I do it via nandroid restore? :confused:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frggu:
yes, you can only change Firmware by flashing it, sense/gpe firmware works with this Rom, and sense works with the stock. So if you stay on sense Firmware you can restore your stock and it will work.

(yes you can restore now without flashing anything, as you still have the sense firmware)

Oh and btw, I found out, there is an option in the superSU settings where you can remove root completely (which is the preferred way of removing it)

Try the sense firmware 3.28.401.9, that is what I use and wifi works 99% of the time

Try flashing the firmwares one after the other until you reach 3.28.401.9.

also change your cid to 11111111 before you flash (better use supercid if you have s-off).

Here you can find all firmwares that you can flash incrementally:

Hi Guys,

I tried flashing this ROM but it keeps telling me that installation aborted.

I followed the instructions to the letter, install philz and downloaded the rom.

I even tried on a different sd card but still wouldn't work.

Anything I'm doing wrong guys?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
I never use philz recovery only TWRP but in the thread it says recommended recovery is Philz Recovery 6.25.x

1. use correct recovery

2. put the downloaded ROM.zip on internal/external sd (your choice)

3. remember not to extract the ROM.zip and re-zip it.

4. use the recovery to install ROM.zip

If you use TWRP - first install will fail, just boot back to TWRP recovery and reinstall .. should boot fine.

for those who have WiFi problems with s-on

Hi all. I am not sure if anyone else found a solution for this but i have. Here it is. For all those people coming from scense to this rom and having wifi problems i have a solution for u. You need to go back to 4.4.3 using ur custom recovery. U can download backup file acording to your cid. Then you need to get stock recovery also acording to the version of 4.4.3 nandroid back up u downloaded. After that just take an over the air update to 4.4.4 and then install philips touch recovery and follow the instruction from holy angel to install the rom.

---------- Post added at 06:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

What u need to do is get a nandroid back up of 4.4.3 of official scense stock rom and get stock recovery. Then take an over the air update and after get custom recovery. Make sure its phils touch recovery and the exact vertion that holy angel recomends.

It worked for me. I never had a wifi working either but then did those and now running the rom with no problems.

Wifi and rebooting problems (NOOB)

So i am about as noob as it gets. First time rooting and i probably did it the dumbest way possible. I have an AT&T One M8. Got my bootloader unlocked and supersu on but i still have s-on. How do i turn it off? My wifi isnt working and i know that is probably (definitely) the problem. Also, i have had some issues where my phone will randomly reboot and stay stuck on the HTC logo. I have left it for like an hour and it doesnt change. So i end up re-flashing the software from the SD card. I have actually had luck with it this time (after about 6 tries) so far at least.
