Hi everyone,

Gotta a quick question: can I install CM 12 after converting to gpe. I did a full convert a while back, could I still flash this ROM?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Zombtastic:
Yepp. I did the same thing. Converted GPE (from sense/T-Mobile) and flashed this.

And for the sake of stating this with a bit more info... (hopefully it helps a bit?) It doesn't seem to be just verizon/sprint(?). 3/14 broke service for me as well on T-Mobile. Reflash of 3/13 fixes. Though, wifi did work for me still on 3/14 unlike a few others...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] lynx_kings:
Hi, I m having problem with flashing back to sense and gpe based roms, currently Im in cm12 nightly 2015.03.12. When I flash sense or gpe based rom it just stuck up in htc boot screen with red text. But if I flashother cm based roms its all good. Anyone can help me solve the issue? unlocked smartphone with S-On.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Did you try FORMATTING partitions? That's the only thing that worked for me in the past.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Looks like they're going to patch radio issue in the next release, if I'm right:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] renedis:
in the update of today the radio issue is not fixed..

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

Just did the same thing and everything is back to normal again
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Good to know. I'll skip this one too... Hoping they'll fix it SOON.

Thx

I am on 3/13 . If I flash 3/15 . I'll have the problem of radio?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Mohanned85:
Is the signal issue fixed on latest nightly
[One (M8) Original Android Development] techenthusiast:
Just flashed 15th nightly and still getting the signal issue.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] y0yerrj0sh:
I flashed 3/15 and didn't have any signal.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I fleshed the latest, 3/15, and radio came back. Sprint M8
[One (M8) Original Android Development] DisorderLee:
I have been flashed for a couple of hours on Sprint, also having no issues or interruptions on the 03/15 nightly. Hooray!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] lynx_kings:
THanks for response! Format data solves the problem,
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Ok, guys... where's the truth? ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] techenthusiast:
I think its fixed for Sprint and not others.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ace2k8:
Yep. Broken for AT&T still on 3/10 for working radio. You lucky sprint users.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] y0yerrj0sh:
Does anyone have a mirror of the 3/10 build? Can't seem to download it through cyanogen.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Hedi86:
News about 5.1. ? (CM12.1 i think)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] wybren:
Does anyone know how to change the location where pictures are saved to the SD-card?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Confirmed. International GSM no service with 3/15. Last workin still 3/13.

Shame...

Moved back to sense based.

VZW M8. S-Off. Unlocked Bootloader. 3-13 build CM12

Has anyone noticed the massive memory traffic jam after using a few apps and switching back and forth between said apps in recents? I can't stand having to hard reboot my phone while audio is playing or whatever. I use C3 Toolbox and have engaged the Aggressive setting in OOM settings to help, but to no avail. It runs smoothly in the beginning of the day. By afternoon it's like GW Bridge at 6pm on a Friday Night. Can't do ****. Can't move. Lol
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Same **** here. This and the broken service in the last 2 releases forced me to move back to Sense based ARHD. Sad, because CM12 has a lot of things I really like (extended desktop in primis) but now it's unusable.

I'll be back in some weeks, checking news.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] rhodyvik:
Yeah I use CM12 as secondary. ViperOneM8 4.3.0 as my primary now. It used to be the other way around but I can't deal with the instability. Apparently I've missed texts as well. I'm assuming Team Venom will have a VZW build by the end of the month.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MJPollard:
Wow, am I glad I decided to hang back with Carbon-KitKat...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] floridaboy69:
So I posted here about no sim error, which everyone seems to be having. Sadly this was the only method that worked for me (get out your credit cards folks). You must be on a stock or 4.4.3 ROM. Bootloader unlocked and rooted is a must. Download the app "sunshine". This will give you S-OFF after you run the app and pay the fee of $25. Then a quick Google search for converting to a regular device, to a Google play edition device. After you do that your good to go.

On a side note, my camera is having a bug. Every time or most of the time I open it, the capture button does nothing and the options does nothing as well, if I go to video recording mode and back to the camera, then turn HDR on or off, just toggle it, it works. Kind of a pain.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Actually I can consider my M8 as a "regular device ", being a standard international gsm model. Everything worked fine until a couple of days ago (speaking about the signal): I really don't think that being S-OFF could help.

The team messed up with something on 03/14 release with this:

" makelinks: fix modem symlinks for newer firmwares".

They realized something went wrong the day after (check conversation):

"makelinks: only link a7b8 and a7bc or fallback to mba"

but that didn't fix.

I'm not a dev and I don't have much experience but something went wrong and I don't understand how they can't see it.

Does anyone from the devs read forums around?!?

Best
[One (M8) Original Android Development] floridaboy69:
That's odd, I'm now on GPE firmware, running the 3/15 nightly and my signal and LTE is chugging along just fine. Try and go to the new nightly, if that doesn't work try changing the radio?

But I noticed when I ruu'd to the GPE the baseband changed. From what the AT&T firmware was. Also when I was digging around reddit, I found anyone who upgrade to CM12 from GPE had zero issues regarding sim, data, and cellular.

OP was on that thread too lol.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Lancealot:
I'm going to say something potentially unpopular but CM12 is AWESOME.

I've been using smart phones since WM5 and the latest android experience trumps all others.

My favorite feature from CM7 was night mode; now it's back and better than ever with LiveDisplay.

I know WiFi and cellular connectivity has been unstable for some lately.

But if you have an issue, create a bug report and link it here in this thread.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] babakhad:

htc m8 gsm
[One (M8) Original Android Development] techenthusiast:
Lots of US carriers added to the 17th nightly. But nothing yet for the GSM models. So stick with 13th nightly for now.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jordandalley:

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:

Why his radio stopped working, and what the last working version was.

It was the 13th btw, for those who can't be troubled to read.

I posted WHY that happened.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Derodraaa:
Dialer force close

Hi - I just did a clean install of the latest CM12 nightly 170315. Spent a while restoring apps and data. Everything seems fine and then realised the dialer doesn't work! A message flashes up for a brief second saying "unfortunately the dialer has stopped". I dirty flashed again and installed another gapps package but still have the problem. Any ideas pls?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Derodraaa:
Just tried to dirty flash a previous nightly over this one and it all went a bit more pear shaped. Thought it was ok to do that but Google Play services and hence everything failed. For now I'm back to using a my previous ROM. Would like to use this as I don't really care for Sense. I'm S-Off and SuperCID for what it's worth.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ProTofik:
Is it possible to somehow flash closed-source audio and wifi drivers on CM12?

And a question a bit out of topic. Does the GPE lollipop rom also have broken wifi and audio?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] krazie1:
GPE/Sense roms are official HTC software so they have no audio issues
[One (M8) Original Android Development] SpaceCadetWilliam:
I am on the 13th cm12 and am having zero issues. most stable build I've used so far.

I am scared to update to the latest version so I will hang back and see if you guys have any luck.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] techenthusiast:
Just tried 18th nightly and still no GSM fix. I wasn't able to add APN settings, and had no signal.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ProTofik:
If CM team knows that they won't be able to fix the audio issue, which makes pretty much unusable for anything else than internet browsing, how are they seeing the future of this rom for M8?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] :
If you are unhappy with a rom, There's many more.... Just move along.

Developers don't get paid, they owe you nothing. Disrespecting them in their threads is not appropriate.

:good:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Cycloneon:
I was deciding to download this CM rom and switch back and forth between the Sense 7 and this rom.. But I hear these nightly roms are inconsistent... Anyone like to share what they feel is the most stable nightly rom? I checked the list and a lot of them come up as "404 not found"
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I'd recommend looking into multirom if you want to switch between roms. IT's basically a dual boot scenario.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] babakhad:
HI

just for information (gsm version)

I flash 3/19 dirty on 3/13 still no signal at all

back to 3/13 soon
[One (M8) Original Android Development] adeptustech:
The CM guys or any other Rom developers are not Houdini, they can just pull magic trick out of the hat and everything will work perfect for everyone. Be patient!!! If everyone would logs & bug reports they will get it fixed. I've been around CM a long time & one thing I've learned is that being patient pays off more than fussin' at them about how bad things are with the Rom. That will not get anyone any closer to getting everything in the rom working.

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

Keep up the great effort you are making to bring us a great Rom.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
You are perfectly right but not considering a serious problem such as no cellular network I think it's something...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] greenza:
Has anyone had a chance to try the nightly for the 19th yet?

Do radios work for GSM or is it best to still stick with the 13th?

---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

Just tested it and the radios are working fine again on nightly 19th, well done CM dev team!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Two posts above yours... How is it possible?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] hks18psigst:
He must not know what gsm is... I just flashed on T-Mobile and I can confirm no cellular.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] babakhad:
or may be not know what is radio !!!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] greenza:
I'm running a on the EE network in the UK, so as far as I'm aware this a GSM handset.

The radio (cellar data) connection was not working on nightlies since 13th and now it is working on the 19th.

If I've confused the terminology please let me know, as I'm just trying to be helpful to other users with this issue.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Believe me: I didn't want to accuse you. I just really want to know WHO is telling the true, before switching back to CM. If you both have International GSM device (as I do), something must be wrong in your "statements".
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Lancealot:
Dirty flashed 3/19 on top of 3/08.

No cellular service on AT&T.

Reverted to nandroid backup of 3/08 and cellular works again.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mcwups1:
If there is ANY problem, and you dirty flashed, don't comment.

Try a clean install, and get a LogCat. If your end game is to return to nandroid, so be it, but dirty flashers are just wasting their times, because not many devs care, if you've dirty flashed.

[/COLOR]ummm guys my sim is not detected
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Oh, c'mon! Are you telling us that you do a clean install every release? And then you install GAPPS and your backups and everything?!? These are supposed to be updates and under settings they ARE called "updates".
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MJPollard:
I think that his underlying point (when you brush away the rudeness) is that if you're encountering a problem after dirty flashing, you need to try a clean flash to see if the problem repeats itself. If it does, it's likely the ROM; if it doesn't, then something happened during the dirty flash.

All of this assumes, of course, that you made a nandroid backup of your working setup prior to flashing anything. ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mcwups1:
It's quite a gift you have, if you can tell someone's emotions in text.

I was merely being precise and to the point.

And yes, I clean flash every time and try to get logcats for devs in order to help them solve problems.

So, my apologies if I didn't post rainbows and lollipops during my first post, but I'm trying to help you.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] hks18psigst:
Are you saying a clean flash is fixing the no cellular issue!?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Lancealot:
I think he's saying if I were more diligent in troubleshooting then my data point would be more valid.

I'm not interested in publishing hearsay; just merely reporting what I found.

It doesn't interest me to go through the task of clean flashing as my phone is working fantastically well on 3/08.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Cycloneon:
Clean flashed the nightly build 03/17 or 03/18 (forgot which one) yesterday.

No cell service. Major turn off. I was using this ROM consistently a month ago but now it just seems too unstable, from what I can see. Went back to SENSE 7 ROM.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] bbabel:
It doesn't recognize my SIM

As many others, the latest nightly (200150319) doesn't recognize my SIM. I'm using Movistar in Mexico.

I confirmed it by switching back to CM11, which worked fine. Hope this can be fixed in a few weeks.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] roaringcrown:
I flashed the 3/19 nightly last night and have had zero issues regarding radio, data, SIM, etc. that some of you (GSM/international/GPE converter users) have experienced dating back to the 3/8 or 3/11 build.

How have I managed to avoid these issues?

I'm on Verizon. I RUU'd to the latest 5.0.1 when the LTE issue arose last week. I *always* clean flash. I don't use backups. I run a very light phone. I keep my app storage to a minimum. I'm talking Chrome, Google Now Launcher, Gmail, Drive, YouTube, Falcon Pro 3, Play Music, and the stock CM/AOSP apps.

This has helped troubleshoot any issues or bugs I run into, making them easily identifiable.

I highly suggest clean flashing to avoid carrying over persistent bugs or issues that don't get fixed due to dirty flashing. I see comments over various threads with users running into problems due to dirty flashing. Shortcuts are cool, but when trouble arises, why do double or even triple the work to troubleshoot? Sometimes the long way is the best way.

Happy flashing!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
You're probably right about dirty or clean install.

Everything you said is reasonable except for one little thing: you have a Verizon device.

The "no signal issue" affects almost everyone else (even you wrote "GSM/international/GPE converter users").
[One (M8) Original Android Development] netboy3:
FYI, In the latest patch for the radio links (the one that caused no cell service), Invisiblek, the M8 device maintainer posted the following in Gerrit:

"Just a heads up, Sprint and all GSM (Basically all variants that are NOT Verizon) are going to need maintainers or they will not have support soon. I'm done trying to hack around HTC's BS."

Looks like Invisiblek has a Verizon M8 and the discrepancies in device trees between the carriers become too much of an issue to maintain.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] bbabel:
I do too clean flash always. I don't think the SIM issue could be avoid with it... maybe the other issues, but not this.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] maxito71:
Thanks, mate.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] bbabel:
Thanks for the quote.

So basically we just need a maintainer to appear and wait patiently... too bad I'm not a programmer :(
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mcwups1:
Clean Flashed
[One (M8) Original Android Development] hks18psigst:
Clean flash still no go with GSM. .. But it makes sense if there trying to have a different maintainer for each variant. So maybe its going to happen soon.

Will this CM nightly run on the M8 Dual Sim version (DUGL)? Are there any other dual sim M8 users out there?

I have CM12 running on two other devices, and would love to have it on my M8 (which is rooted/S Off). Don't want to risk it without some reassurance as this is my daily phone and I can't manage any down time.

If your device is encrypted, I would suggest avoiding any recent nightlies. I just attempted to upgrade from 3/12 to 3/20 with the result being a boot loop. It appears the next nightly will have the following commit which may fix the issue:

Is call recording working in the latest nightlies ?

I would also like to know this.

also the notification pull down I can toggle airplane mode on my phone without entering a password.

Help on how to flash

Guys,

I'm quite an amateur to the flashing concept. I have downloaded the latest CM12 20.03 build. When I click to 'Apply update', it says 'You are about to upgrade to cm 12 .. ' If you press update, the device will restart itself in recovery mode to install the update ' Noe: This feature requires a compatible Recovery or updates will need to be installed manually.

I really dont know how to flash this update. Can someone please explain in a simplified way as to how can i go about this and enjoy the upate?

Wil greatly appreciate it.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] leonard.pitzu:
the list of issues (main issues) on the m8 is not huge. one thing though that is annoying is the "camera issue". for example skype only "knows" 2 cameras (one front and one back - on most phones). the m8 has 3 of them cameras thus skype only switches between the 2 cameras on the back but misses the front one. this does not happen on stock android (gpe/sense). the other issue would be the audio one (yeah, drivers...).

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Rescue9:
Have you read the thread from the beginning? All info you wish to know is contained within this single thread one place or another. If you can reach recovery, you haven't bricked your device. Also, you need to make sure you flash a gapps package as well. Trust me..... It sucks reading X-hundred posts, but its the only way to learn.
