Brand new to flashing roms and had issues flashing to my phone.

So I'm currently using an HTC One M8 on 5.0.1 (Verizon) and unfortunately couldn't get this rom to work out. I am very new to flashing roms and am still very unsure as to what I need to do. I downloaded the GPE_5.1_MULTI_DH_060415.zip file and put it on my SD Card. Once there, I booted into recovery and wiped my phone. I then tried to flash what I though was the whole rom, but obviously it didn't work. I would love to get this up and running and am very thankful if anyone can yield any results.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] darthnix:
When the post says "B. Install the 5.1 firmware update listed below.", which download is it talking about? Is it the part labeled "Carrier Firmwares", or "GPE Firmwares"? And if it's the GPE section, do I want the hboot one?

Thanks to anyone who responds.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Wufl:
Flash the 5.1 firmware that's for your specific carrier. Then you need to flash the GPE Firmware. The hboot one removes the Red text upon startup, the other does not. That's up to you to decide. Oh and the gpe firmware isn't carrier based, only the 5.1 version is in case you were wondering.

---------- Post added at 05:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

Well you should have the latest official firmware, but you'll need to run adb lines in command prompt to flash the new GPE firmware. Look up tutorials on how to use adb and the android SDK before you mess with it. It's not *hard* but you need to get comfortable with it and know how it works.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] darthnix:
Sorry, are you saying I need to flash both of them? Why does the OP only say to flash one then?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sparky492:
Failed flash, can't access recovery. Did I hard brick?

*****I don't know why and I don't really care how, but it just popped back to life and I was able to force into recovery via fastboot.

So nevermind

First off I am not deeply knowledgeable on stuff like this. I like to play around with different roms and that is about it. If you can help, I will likely need more than the average user.

So here is what happened, I was going through the process of flashing and went with most of the presets on my Verizon M8. After the screen showing the flashing process a final screen said something about flash unsuccessful with no additional text so I just clicked finish. Instead of taking me to recovery (like expected) I looked like it started to boot with the typical htc logo for about 2 minutes, followed by the screen going black and a repeat of a normal boot for another 2 minutes. At this point I thought I was caught in a loop so tried to power down and get into recovery, but now there is no response from the phone under any conditions.

Fastboot and Adb don't recognize it

Charging light won't turn on

No amount of fooling with the buttons get's a response.

What did I do? and can I fix it?

Thank you so much,

Sparky
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Wufl:
Since you're on official 5.0.1, you don't need to flash the Carrier firmware, but you still need to flash the new GPE firmware. There's TWO GPE firmwares, one removes the startup red text, one does not. You just need to pick one of those (that choice is yours). So when OP says flash one, it just means you have to pick which GPE you wish to flash.

parsing android-info fail when flashing GPE_5.1 on M8

When trying to flash GPE_5.1_MULTI_DH_060415.zip, fastboot gives this error:

FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)

I'm trying to switch from Cyanogenmod to Google Play Edition (GPE) on my HTC One M8, with modelid: 0P6B20000 and cidnum: VZW__001.

(Followed these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2716306)

I'm not seeing an andriod-info.txt file in the zip file. Is there one? Where?

Any suggestions?

The reason to switch is that currently, when it looses the cellular network connection, often doesn't reconnect ever again until a reboot. I already updated the radio. I'm hoping that GPE would fix this problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] c_live_lee:
I'm not here to solve all your installation woes, but I did feel the need to inform you that I'll be shocked if anything fixes your 3G/4G hand-off issues, since I've come to the conclusion over the past couple of years (and couple of devices), the Verizon has a dirty secret in some areas which they refuse to admit.

It has been my experience that Big Red has issues when moving between towers, especially when you pass between a 3G and a 4G tower. My device will hold on to the previous tower for dear life, and may take forever to grab another one. The factory based software tends to be the best at handling this issue, though even it often has troubles (whether Moto or HTC, in my personal experience). The only [sometimes infuriating] "fix" I've found for this, is to toggle on airplane mode until there is no signal, then toggle it back off.

The only reason I can figure that this isn't a more pressing issue, is that most users probably don't experience this problem since most users don't reside in more rural areas, such as myself, where they still haven't made the 100% upgrade to 4G towers.

Bottom line is this. If you experience this problem, you'll probably experience it, to one degree or another, no matter what ROM you run.

Phone doesn't work

Hi, I am fairly new to loading custom roms. I tried loading the 5.1 GPE update and now the phone doesn't work anymore. It turns on, stays on the booting animation for several minutes (mainly the Digitialhigh symbol) and then after that the phone goes into a mode where it is constantly telling me that apps have stopped (example: Unfortunately, Nfc has stopped). All i can do is pull down the notification shade and for some weird reason, take screenshots. The phone can't even shutdown properly. Can anyone give me suggestions.

PS: I'm using the international gsm m8 and on TWM.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike03:
Hello all, quick question with this device/ROM.

I'm currently on Verizon's network, loving this ROM and loving this phone. Amazing work, I check back here for updates at least every week. For reasons not worth mentioning I may have to transfer over to AT&T. From what little research I was able to do it seemed like I would be able to bring the device but likely would not receive anything above 3G, is that correct? I know this ROM is designed to be carrier agnostic and has files available for flashing radios, but I was wondering if a more experienced community member could confirm anything with this specific case.

Thanks.

The phone seems to be running quite well, but I can't open the HTC Dot View program. It crashes as soon as I open it up. Is anyone else having this issue? I can't uninstall the program with this version of the ROM either.

Edit: Looks like the HTC Authorizer module was crashing it.

Help Installing on VZW-Beginner Question

So I am on a completely stock VZW M8 running 5.0.1. Do I need to root my phone before installing this? Can I simply put the 5.1_6 download onto the root of my sd card and install that after wiping my phone in recovery? Do I need to also install the VZWm8firmware download and the 5.1_6firmware+hboot along with it? Sorry for my beginner questions, just a bit confused by this.

Working LTE but problem switching to 3G when losing signal

I have a Verizon HTC One M8 with unlocked bootloader and S-off, my carrier is T-Mobile, my phone had 4.4.4, I updated to 5.0.1 just like the instructions and then flashed 'GPE_5.1_M8_DH_080215.zip' with Elite Kernel, full wipe, and almost everything works perfectly but 2 things.

When I log into any app there's a popup warning that says "com.htc.sense.socialplugins has stopped working", I don't think it's bad but it gets annoying sometimes.

The second and most important issue has to do with LTE. LTE works fine until it loses signal and I just lose connection, the phone doesn't even try to change to 3G, it just stays on LTE all the time. 3G works fine if I force the phone to stay on 3G.

I have already downgraded to 4.4.4 and did a factory reset from the stock recovery but I still have a problem with LTE not switching to 3G one it loses signal. What should I do?

Thanks!

Carrier mismatch

Greetings,

I have upgraded my ROM from the 6-15 version to the recently released 8-03, I use Verizon as my service provider, under the notification drop down my carrier is shown as Sprint. I do remember choosing Verizon during the AROMA install, in fact I have done so three times, just in case I did something wrong, each time with a full wipe. Is this something I have unknowingly done? A problem with 8-03?

Thoughts about this ROM

So, after two attempts and two failures (still no idea why) i successfully installed this ROM. I came here from the Skydragon GPE and here are my thoughts. So basically, no Duo Cam and Slow Motion Video, App2SD still unavailable, and even though a lot of HTC apps are installed (such as blinkfeed launcher) some are not compatible with the phone. Anyone have the same problems. (forgive me, i'm too lazy to sift through all the forum pages...)

Hey guys, so I installed CM12 to give it a shot and decided I wanted to go back to DH GPE! I love this rom, I wiped my phone and tried to install the latest 8/3 release using TWRP. When I got through the install process it told me your device doesn't seem to be rooted and then asked if I wanted to install SuperSU. I was confused since I was obviously rooted in the past since I used DH's GPE and CM12. I swipe to install SuperSU and when I hit reboot system it reboots me back into TWRP recovery. It won't actually boot my phone, does anyone have a solution to this?

Freezing up/lagginess

Hey all, I've seen a few posts about this on the main thread but I haven't seen many answers to it. I'm running the latest version of the ROM on Verizon and whenever I have more than two or three apps running, my current app is just laggy, sometimes completely unresponsive and will sometimes ask to force close. The biggest culprits seem to be Snapchat, chrome, FB messenger and FB itself. I know these apps have given people problems before but I really thought the issue was solved at this point. If not, would it be more beneficial to go back to a stock ROM or even a 5.0 ROM or what? Or is there a solution to this painful slowness I'm experiencing? Thank you!

GPS Problem

I am running the 4.4.4 GPE ROM for my Verizon One M8 from the old builds. GPS will not work, I have a question about it. I have a Nandroid backup on my phone of stock sense and I restored that, GPS worked on that so I copied the gps.conf from that and moved it to another part of my phone where it wouldn't be wiped. Then I restored back the 4.4.4 GPE ROM and pasted the gps.conf in the system/etc folder, chose to overwrite the original one. GPS still does not work though! Am I doing something wrong?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
How did you try to flash the firmware? It cannot be flashed in recovery. You can either flash it via fastboot with the phone in ruu mode or you can rename it to 0p6bimg.zip, place it on the root of your external storage, and flash it in hboot.

You were right - I had been trying to flash via recovery

Thanks cntryby429! You are correct in that I tried flashing directly from recovery. I will follow your instructions.

I am still a bit confused about what this firmware (VZWm8Lfirmware.zip) and the GPE firmware (5.1_6_FIRMWARE_NOHBOOT.zip) do. If I flash these will it prevent me from going back to another ROM?

As I recall, DH himself noted an issue with having System set to f2fs a few versions back.

broke my root cherry for my M8 just few weeks back on this ROM!
