Could be, for reference I'm on the 4.4.4 firmware for verizon and have only flashed this coming from an aosp/cm based rom successfully.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] R4INS:
im on the GSM lollipop firmware from the google play leak

flashed cm11, then tried flashing cm12 right on top and no go
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shadow Death:
Good to see that you come over to the dark side lol

Wrong lol he meant another android 5.0 aosp/cm build. Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pimpmaneaton:
What recovery are you using. I know me and remicks are using twrp mulitrom recovery
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] R4INS:
I have a GSM phone, carrier unlocked, not a verizon phone. The firmware he is referencing i assumed was a bad idea to flash.

twrp, 2.8.1.0
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] randoug:
Do a full data wipe of internal storage.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] remicks:
Alpha 2 build now available in OP:

Tons of upstream changes and fixes from cm12, check their Gerrit for more details.

Please report anything you may find in the thread accompanied by a logcat if possible, thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] R4INS:
got work in a bit ill have to do that later. bunch of stuff to move to external and pictures to send to google drive.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brholt6:
So I got Alpha 1 to flash fine...everything seems to be working. But when I boot in to recovery I can't wipe anything and if I look under install or restore nothing shows up. I've kept up with the thread and didn't see this issue so maybe I missed something? I'm on TWRP 2.8.1.0

EDIT: Rebooted System and then went back to recovery and everything is normal again.

Seriously best developers ever !!

Yup

If audio is working is the sound still FUBAR like it is on cm11

Anyone got viper to work?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kickassdave:
Just double checking as I see GSM owners trying this, but is this OK on GSM?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] randoug:
viper is working for me
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reubenskelly1992:
Awesome. Would you say it's better than the DSB manager app built in?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Why would you wipe the sdcard you just saved a nandroid backup on ? Going from the instructions about partition problems. It says save the backup to external sdcard then format data (wipe SDCARD)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reubenskelly1992:
Thanks so much for this rom. Can't believe how smooth and stable it feels considering it's in alpha!! Using it as my daily driver :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] _moelle:
even these steps wont let me install alpha 2 rom. - I did format data > flash again modded L firmware -> install gpe Skydragen L -> boot, reboot recovery -> factory reset -> install cm12 alpha 2 -> BOOOM! can´t mount system. If it helps, I ´m using a GSM HTC M8_UL with SUPERCID_ unlocked bootloader_ s_off_ GPE Conversation to newest Build./Firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bacon612:
Any general comments about the differences noticed between cm12 and cm11? Speed? New features you love etc?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] _moelle:
It says save the backup to external sdcard then format data (wipe SDCARD)

your phone gots (probably) about 16 GB intern SD ...what you think is that thing called?`Right, SDCARD! Dont mistake this 2 different SD-Locations. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] monkboy24:
I finally got this ROM to boot for my gsm m8. The whole time all I needed to do was be on the stock 4.4.4 firmware. Op please make a note of this
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] direwolf1:
Do you mind sharing specifically which firmware you used? I've also got a GSM phone. I'm currently S-On with AT&T so I can't upgrade to the 4.4.4 firmware, but I'm thinking about going s-off and upgrading the firmware to give this a try. How is the ROM running for you so far?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jxcorex28:
Yeah I'm dumb....completely screwed up....my bad
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shadow Death:
Different mount locations? I remember reading about another Rom dev that had the same issue.

I would go S-Off. It's so much easier when you don't I've to work around that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Superm@π:
I'm sorry I'm just confused, so what's the latest greatest, alpha 2 or the third option? Thanks, and I really appreciate you posting these. Keep up the good work!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
Yes please share your firmware

I have the modded L firmware from the Skydragon thread , like [MENTION=5709539]moell[/MENTION]le --- my bootloader page reads OS 3.09.1700.2

I had to install that to load the 4.4.4 GPE ROMs and I had already wiped my sdcard because of mounting issues after flashing the firmware

Unfortunately my experience continues like [MENTION=4931459]Moellegaard[/MENTION]

What do you mean when you say "stock 4.4.4 firmware" ??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] remicks:
Alpha 2 is newest unless there is a new build under bracketslash's files.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] _moelle:
buddy, ......its working.............................FINALLY!!!!!! Damn that was a fight. - I read the mention that in fact a sense firmware will solve the issue. - I was an GPE Conversation so I gave it a try.

Just follow:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2733523

easy peasy.....and you even not do have to flash some aosp rom before. - i flashed cm12 just first and the gapps right afterwards,,,,ding ding ding! working! and i have to say, that baby is damn fast!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] calebcabob:
...UM

Flashed this just as instructed...messed up my entire data partition...couldn't even restore my backup because data would no longer mount. Not sure if it was because I was using the latest official version of TWRP or what...but yeeeea, that was fun.:rolleyes:

EDIT: I saved a logcat from TWRP if ya want it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brholt6:
I had the same issue a few pages back. Rebooted system from twrp then booted back to recovery and all was good.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] calebcabob:
Yep, that's what ultimately solved my issue too. Except it finally fixed itself after the 20th reboot.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

This happened to me the last time I tried flashing a GPE Android 5.0 ROM too. I'm thinking its gotta be either a Lollipop thing or a TWRP thing. I never had a single issue when I was running Captain Throwback's TWRP...not sure why I updated to the official anyways.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hoang555:
this rom can be used for m7 unlocked (UL) ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
So can Sprint flash this only ask cause it's over here in the Verizon thread and I was lurking.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
Bootable cm12 version is uploading to my link...it will be 112014. :) Enjoy!

Should be universal but I own a verizon m8 so I posted here.

Thanks buddy, hopefully this will fix that pesky flashing issue for users!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flyinj54:
Hey can you post your link please? Thank you

Would this be under other builds in the above post?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] munchy_cool:
AFAIK Verizon M8 has a different partition for boot.img when compared to other M8 variants including Sprint. Therefore i would suggest you not to flash this on a Sprint M8.

The change if you really want to flash would have to be done in the updater script to flash the boot.img on the correct partition of Sprint M8.

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

nopes...this is for m8
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hoang555:
I mistype something, I want to ask if this can be flashed on HTC M8 UL
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flyinj54:
By the way you guys kick ass thanks a lot for doing this for the community. I'm greatly appreciative of people that spend countless hours getting things to work on our device before their intended to work lol. Great job guys and I highly appreciate it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
OK flashes bliss v2 and booted everything seems super smooth but after reboot phone is reporting that there is no Sim card im on Sprint

Edit: tried everything to get the SIM card to read rebooted several times dirty flashed the Rom nothing worked. Probably have to reflash the Rom clean to get it to work you can add that to list of bugs for Sprint users
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
Yes, just make sure you grab the one that is labeled as 112014

Finally finished uploading. Here is direct link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001613360
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
I'll give it a try and report back if I face the similar issue. Sprint M8 also.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
WOW what a pain in the butt!

I tried what you suggested and tried installing CM12, then tried Bliss first etc .... each time I get this error when trying to flash any of the several CM12 ROMs:

mount: failed to mount /dev/block/platfoem/msm_sdcc. 1/by-name/userdata at /data: Device or resource busy

assert failed: run_program("system/bin/makelinks.sh") == 0

Could it be that flashing this on AT&T M8 just won't work?

Sorry to be a pain to you guys but any help would be appreciated
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ryan1977:
Installed alpha2 and running smoothly. I had zero issues with the flash coming from "dhs" gpe rom. Loving alpha2 so far
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reubenskelly1992:
Is there any major difference between yours and backslash version??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Just installed this build I'm on Sprint and getting same issue as the Bliss build V2. First initial boot everything is working data and network side I have LTE and everything but after I reboot the phone says that there is no sim and all my apns are gone. Bit in about phone it says that I am on sprint network and LTE but data doesn't work any ideas on this?

Also don't fix permissions cause the phone won't boot in to the OS and also had to completely wipe to even get it to flash again
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bacon612:
Loaded alpha 2 up and so far its excellent. Restored my apps, loaded nova launcher (so I can use the phone in landscape). Few things missing that will likely be merged eventually to cm12...

No advanced reboot menu

Can't take screen shots in long hold power button either

Can't customize home buttons.

ROM seems really stable and snappy though. Will attempt using this as a daily for a couple and report back.

Thanks devs for getting this together so fast. Nice to have a high end phone running the latest and greatest software.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Um anyone getting a blacked out screen when trying to view things such as build.prop or anything in system the is a viewable text? Everything I try to view is nothing but a black screen
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shadow Death:
Yes! Now that I'm at home I decided to flash to DH's GPE and set it up then over to this to give it a shot. It's way faster than I imagined it. I toyed around with MWisBest's Gnex build on my old Gnex but that phone is dieing a horrible death and can barely run stock android anymore.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Yup, lose data after reboot :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Thanks for confirming hopefully it gets sorted out for us on Sprint
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
The best I can tell is that this is happening because my device is AT&T

I looked at the updater script in the install zip and it looks different in the assert section than the cm11 install packages ??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Happens when I flash on Sprint as well, but it still manages to flash correctly. Only problem we're facing for the Sprint users is APNs dissapear after reboot and can no longer re add them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
Yeah for some reason mine will not complete the install ... just sits forever in the install
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flyinj54:
Just tried the newest alpha build on Verizon M8. You guys are making a ton of progress very nice. I can also tell that this things going to fly with CyanogenMod on it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
What recovery are you using? I used the very latest TWRP to flash mine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flyinj54:
Philztouch no problems installing here
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] djpabz23:
Have you tried rebooting? Us Sprint users get a "no sim card" error and can no longer connect to data after a reboot :crying:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] monkboy24:
U need to have the latest 4.4.4 firmware installed to flash this ROM successfully. My device is At&t and this ROM runs like a dream on it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] monkboy24:
Oh oh looks like we has the video audio volume issue on all the cm12 builds. Basically the audio is extremely low when video recording as if the noise cancellation mic is mixed up with the main mic or something.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jtommyj:
I have a 128gb SD card exfat. Root explorer and music files don't see it. I've used the SD fixer. Its in 4th spot in multirom with CM 11, Bone stock, DH GPE Lollipop, which all see my music. Any ideas ? Thanks and thanks for your efforts for the ROM!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
I was initially on firmware 3.28.401.9. I flashed the modded L firmware to run and install Lollipop GPE -- that's when the problem started.

So last night spent 4 hours trying many combinations. Reverted back to Sense firmware. Currently I'm on 3.28.401.9 and have tried Philz and TWRP. Both have the problem installing on my device.

[MENTION=860740]monkeyboy2[/MENTION]4 --- specifically which firmware are you on?

The error that I get in TWRP is consistently the error about not being able to mount something .... I've wiped everything and made sure I could re mount etc
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dandan2980:
Still curious if any other carriers in here other than Sprint get a no SIM notification after rebooting the phone.

Also trying to see if I could fix permissions in recovery to maybe get the no SIM to go away caused the phone not to boot in the OS got stuck on boot animation, then tried to reflash and had error something about couldn't mount data basically had to wipe data also and clean flash then it reflashed. So probably not wise to fix permissions from recovery.

Thank you - I hope so .... Can you point me to that file? I think I downloaded and tried one that was dated 11-20 with a link at the beginning of this thread and it didn't work late last night. Do you have a link for your latest? Thanks for your work !
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheBurgh:
Is the info in OP still the recommended method to flash? I just downloaded the latest build.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001613360 is the link. I'm on it currently.

I came from an aosp-based ROM, wiped only Data, and then flashed this build, Google Apps, and then SuperSU.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
I still got the error message during install about mounting ... but in this case it did finally complete the install process

Make sure to un check the Inject MultiROM if you are using a TWRP that supports MultiRom

Not sure what you did with your latest build to get past the mounting issue but hopefully it can get passed on to the other developers who are compliling new Builds

Thanks -- I'll give feedback ... I'm at lest on the setup page now !!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] reubenskelly1992:
Can I flash this over the current version I'm on? (Alpha 2)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
This is different from the straight bliss versions as it is built differently. As far as I know, flashing this over what you have is not like a dirty flash...It replaces everything. I am not positive though. My best answer is "try it and see". Someone more knowledgeable will have to give a more positive answer for you. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
Yes that's what I ended up on ... only started working with whatever [MENTION=3948983]braket[/MENTION]slash did with the latest build to make it work for me --- THANKS!

Using this Build when I try to change the System Ringtone or a Ringtone for a Contact there doesn't seem to be a Sound Picker (or Media Storage) to choose the ringtone .... when I try to change the ringtone the screen just dims or grays a bit and no dialog ever comes up . I tried wiping cache / davlik cache .. no luck
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
I have noticed this too. There is no default app picker for anything. It just sort of dims the screen a bit. Will continue searching! Thank you for the report.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] remicks:
Issues relating to this rom also may be attributed to the fact that cm is merging code at a very fast rate and we may have synced the repo in the middle of a commit storm.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
Absolutely! I'm ecstatic that we have it at such a usable point already. :o
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
Did fresh install and right out of the box it does NOT do it! It only happens after installing certain apps. I will re install and try to figure out when (which app) it happens

But yes it even happens when I installed Nova and clicked Home button ... it did not produce the default app dialog

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Yes the loss of sound selection happens when I install ChompSMS (which usually brings up the default app picker to choose Sounds -- Chomp vs Media Storage)... So anything that needs to produce a default app dialog messes up. The only reason I can get Nova Launcher to work is because I can go in to the Settings and set the default Home app
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bracketslash:
My thought is that it initiates this bug as soon as you install any app that could be considered as a replacement for another. For instance, as soon as you install a second Camera app or a second Gallery app or a second File Manager app, it will produce this bug as you finally have to select a replacement.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcrompton:
I installed Default App Manager -- the OS appears to NOT allow you to set a default app, even with this app to try to "force" the selection ... the selection dialog just never appears
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] monkboy24:
I also noticed that g+,Google photos and a few other accounts won't sync in this build.

I flashed the one that was linked on page 12 and it booted up but still have the no SIM bug here on Sprint ugh!!!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsminnis:

No LTE data after reboot on Verizon

My LTE Data connection disappears everytime after a reboot. I'm on Verizon.

I got the msm_sdcc.1 error when flashing but it still said it flashed successfully. The first boot LTE worked fine. But after a reboot it's gone and it doesn't seem to come back. I've tried turning on Airplane mode and setting the network to LTE (Preferred).

Nothing seems to bring back the LTE except flashing again. But that only lasts one reboot. Anyone else seeing this on Verizon?

I have really appreciated your work, but the only ROMs I am able to complete flashing are the ones compiled by [MENTION=4279318]bracketslash[/MENTION]
