I just flashed the latest ROM, and NFC is fc'ing. Is there a fix?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
NFC works.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
I can turn on NFC from the drop down menu, but when I go to settings and try to turn on NFC, I get the FC. I can't get to the screen you posted where it says Tap and Pay. I've attached a logcat. I've never done one before, so I hope it's right.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
It works though, are you on v7.5 or v6.0?

Please make sure you are on the latest version and checked MD5.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
I'm on 7.5
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Flash this in recovery, and report back.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
Flashed zip, and it's still FC'ing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Alright. I didn't see anything in the log (feel free to try and get a longer one to send me,.. Let it run for a bit, then go into settings an nfc and get it to force close, try and get it to fc a few times, let it run a bit longer, and then press cntrl c to kill adb and then upload) next step is to wait for another v7.5 user and see if it works for them. Then we'll go from there.

:cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Can anyone on v7.5 please post about your NFC, does it work and turn on, or F/C?

TYIA
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
Andy, I re-downloaded the Rom, and re-installed it. NFC is fine now. Thank you
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Did you dirty flash the first time you posted the issue?

Trying to track down the issue.

If you dirty flash then post issues it's a major inconvience to us DEVs, if you didn't dirty flash I need to track down what happened.

Possibly a bad download? Something you installed? If you did dirty flash that's fine, but please post that you did this when posting about an issue.

I am on the M9, and I've actually spent many hours last night flashing the ROM on the M8 multiple times testing NFC without issue, trying to fix something when their was nothing to fix. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
I think it was a bad download.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
A bad download *usually* won't flash. If you can, get in the habit of checking the MD5 after a download. :good:

We'll just chalk it up to an error, maybe you meant to wipe and didn't. We're human.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lennie paz:
My external SD card has been acting really weird lately. Sometimes it will let me flash a ROM from it, and other times it just sits there and won't install the ROM. I have a feeling it had to do with that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Certainly makes sense as well. Thanks for posting back on feedback and glad that it's working now!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] PharmD208:
I've been trying to figure out an issue I've been having with a game I've been playing, but I haven't come up with anything, so I'll let the more inclined of you see if you can help me fix it. I am having the same problem on another rom, so I'm certain it's not rom specific. The game is Marvel: Contest Of Champions. When I open the game, it will randomly crash and send me back to my home screen. There are no error messages after it crashes. Sometimes it will run for two minutes, other times it will only run for two seconds. Is there a way I can capture a log of the crashes, or is there anything you can think of that I can try to maybe help remedy the issue? Thanks a bunch! BTW, your rom is awesome andybones!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thanks man, much appreciated.

I don't run games so it's not usually my area of expertise. But I'll always help out a user, (or even a user of another ROM).

I need a logcat.

Please search if you don't know how but basically u want to run

adb logcat > 1.txt

this will save it to a .txt file named 1.txt

(rename to whatever you want for ex.

adb logcat > games4andy.txt

run the log for like 20 seconds, then open the app let it run and close, do that maybe 3-4 times, then let it run for another 20 seconds, and press cntl c to end log, upload it to me here, ill see if anything pops out. :cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] PharmD208:
Will definitely do that. Thanks for your time. I'll get that to you soon as I can.

Any plan on porting the M9 5.1 dev base over?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
No updates until VZW OTA..

Don't think it would run anyway without the firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] isdnmatt:
Happy to see that an update is in the plan. Eagerly awaiting it!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgeek23:
why when i clean install this rom, will it not get VZW lte, and instead assign a telus apn to it?

I tried to install it over a GPE rom and it seemed to work until it just kept saying that the process acore stopped working...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Check firmware..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgeek23:
flashed to stock firmware, recovery, rom and still an issue
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sorry but its not a ROM issue. Try flashing RUU and post back please.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgeek23:
flash what rUU? I tried flashing the stock 5.01 firmware RUU. Same issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xdadevelopers-user:
I had some strangeness like this. I solved it by restoring an RUU and then doing a factory reset from HBOOT using the stock recovery. Without the factory reset step I continued to have trouble even after flashing the RUU.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Your issue isn't with my ROM though..

Below is a suggestion to try, but for more ideas if it doesn't work, please go make a thread in the Q&A section.

Best of luck, I hope you get it fixed. :cool:

Thank you kindly, Sir
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgeek23:
flashed GPE and it worked. Went back to fluent and same issue, so just went back to the GPE. Don't know what is going on, might be something screwy with my device.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Again, this has nothing to do with the ROM,

please make a thread for your issue in the Q&A section.

best of luck
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Hey Andy,

There's definitely something going on with that July mod pack.

I did a full wipe, including Factory Reset, dalvik cache, cache, system, data, and internal storage.

After flashing Your rom, restarting, flashing the HK mod, restarting, (still worked as of this point), flashed the newest Lyapota mod pack, restarted. This is when it would say "starting apps".

Did not have this problem with the previous version. Is there any way for you to repost the older mod pack please? If not no biggie, Just looking to use the harman kardan, that's all.

Thank you!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Try wiling cache after MOD Pack, it will do the starting apps cos its flashing a .jar, does it get stuck or something?

Lyapota updated the MOD Pack I'll update it for this rom soon.

If u just want hk I'll make u a .zip tmw

:cool:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Wiped Cache and Dalvik. Same thing occurred. I'm trying to pinpoint exactly whats going on. Going to do a fresh wipe again because I'm very curious :)

The first time around, I updated HTC Sense Home, Lock Screen *before* flashing mod pack. I probably shouldn't have updated those at all =x

I will re wipe, and retest and let you know! Worse case scenario, when u make zip tmrw, if you could please make zip of HK, Recent2Menu mod, and Battery Percentage, those are only three I use.

Edit: Well what do ya know... It was either HTC Sense Home, or HTC Lock screen causing it. I'm going to lean towards HTC Sense Home...

I apologize if this was actually discussed throughout the thread. Just been a long day and haven't had time to search.

Moral of the story. Flash HK and Mod Pack DIRECTLY after you flash the fresh rom. Don't update play store apps first, lol

All good to go now. Thanks again :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Ahh, the issue is the updating of apps in the MOD Pack. You must remove anny app in data/app that is in the MOD Pack. Mainly sense home, that's most likely stopping it from booting. :)

So keyboard, lockscreen and sense home must be uninstalled and make sure are deleted from daya/app prior to MOD Pack,
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
6L103710BJ1294738 Not much, but it's what I can spare right now. Been rocking your ROM since release and decided it was time for a little refresh.

Thank you again for all your hard work and support!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thank you so much!

anything is always highly appreciated!

as for mod pack, you must first boot up the rom fully, (don't update any apps)

then go back to recovery and do mod pack, you can flash rom and mod pack in same recovery session :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] abeersaqib:
I am fed up with the issue when sending the bulk messages

phone says in a popup

"You are roaming on international network"

and message failed

i have to send it again.

Any fix ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
No idea.

Provide me a logcat and maybe I can figure something out.

Without a logcat, there is quite literally nothing to do.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jackie08:
Andy by chance is this active with your Rom "Music Visualizer with Lyrics" it is with clean Rom and seem to be a HTC item. Thanks in advance
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
music channel?

it's built into the htc music app :)

I can also add the toggle to settings.apk, however I need to know which one, HK or Boomsound
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] srsparky32:
hey there. just curious if i need to be flashing the lollipop firmware or the kitkat firmware before i flash this, and will installing the rom work in CWM or do i need to use TWRP? am i supposed to already be on lollipop before taking this rom?

this is basic information that should already be in the rom's OP btw.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
From the OP:

1. Download latest ROM.zip and check MD5

2. Use stock firmware. - new LP firmware!

3. Reboot into Recovery

4. Full Wipe: Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, System

5. Install ROM

6. Reboot (First Boot may take up to 10 mins)

Use TWRP
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] srsparky32:
ill use TWRP. and yes i know about the install directions but all he says is to use the stock firmware. what does that mean? im on kitkat. do i need the lollipop firmware to make this work or what?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
Yes, you need to be on Lollipop firmware. The OP has a link to the relevant firmware where it says "new LP firmware".
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] srsparky32:
ok thanks. one more thing does the phone need to be running lollipop already or can i be on kitkat OS and flash lollipop firmware? sorry for the noob questions
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
Once you update the firmware you will want to get into recovery and flash a Lollipop based ROM. Having a KK based ROM right now won't be an issue as far as flashing the firmware. There are some other things as far as where Lollipop puts files but that is something to worry about after you have the firmware and a new ROM flashed. This latest ROM runs very well and Andy is awesome with support.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] srsparky32:
thanks a ton. very helpful. ive been rooting, etc. since froyo but this process is a bit different so i wanted to really be sure. thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
You're welcome, just make sure you backup all of your data before you do the upgrade.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Info that should be in the OP?

The info you are asking about is in the OP? :confused:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Thanks for helping out, even though all the info was already there. :confused:

Firmware won't wipe data. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
That comment was more for just in case the upgrade doesn't go well for whatever reason, better safe than sorry :)

I can see where he may have been a little confused. Going over the OP again it only says "a custom recovery" I haven't used anything but TWRP for the last several phones and I have seen you mention that one in the past, I honestly don't know if there are issues with the other recoveries and your ROM or not so I went with the one I know works. Might have to add something when 5.1 hits about needing to be on 5.1 firmware, if that is even the case, in big bold letters next to a link for the firmware download.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Android 5.1 ROM will require 5.1 firmware.

and i don't understand how a "custom recovery" is confusing?

you can't flash a ROM using stock recovery..

and if you go here - http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/orig-development

there is only 1 recovery to download.. TWRP...

Maybe I'm missing something but maybe you guys can help me out, what exactly is confusing, so I can update it..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
Maybe just change "custom recovery" to TWRP and say something like "Make sure you are on the correct firmware ie. 5.0 Rom needs 5.0 firmware before flashing."

That seems to be the main issue this particular user was having.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
It said LP firmware.. I guess this wasn't clear enough?

-----------------------------------------------------

Instructions updated in OP - Links provided.

You must be either: S-OFF, Rooted - Boot loader unlocked and with a custom recovery - TWRP recommended - LINK

1. Download latest ROM.zip and check MD5

2. Use stock firmware Android 5.0.1 Lollipop - LINK

3. Reboot into Recovery

4. Full Wipe: Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, System

5. Install ROM

6. Reboot (First Boot may take up to 10 mins)

Is this straight forward enough?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lightweaponx:
I let a person not familiar with flashing roms read it and they felt like they could follow it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Just wanted to say thanks Andy for an awesomely smooth ROM. I finally got around to flashing it (I've been running an old 4.something ROM for ages just because I'm lazy) Monday night, and I had zero issues.

Very welcome my friend, glad you are enjoying the ROM.

Patiently waiting for Verizon to give us an OTA.

Will be a much more stable Sense 7, than the port.

Black Screen no charging LED

Hello all,

I have been running this Rom for a long time with great results! Thank You Andy!!

I just made a phone call 20 minutes ago, and now went to make another.

My phone is completely dark, plugged it into a charger, with no luck, no led charge light.

I plug it into my PC and I hear the connect noise from PC, but not drive info from internal or external (SD Card)

Any thoughts?

The Battery feels pretty warm..

Thanks.......???????

Got it to Reboot using power plus Vol +

My other device uses power plus Vol -.... My Bad....

I see "runandhide05 - MMS for 3rd party apps fix" in the OP... but the very issue I'm having is MMS with third party apps. I can't send or receive MMS when using Messenger, but it works fine with the stock Messages. Is this fix for MMS something in the ROM that isn't working for me? Or do I need to apply it somehow?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jskup:
We may be waiting for a while. Think I saw they're skipping 5.1.1 for the M8 and going straight to Android M. An example article of this is here, but I've seen others.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Yea that's too bad, I am on m9 though fwiw, but have m8 still, and will continue my support here. If Developer Edition or something gets a newer base I could work on a port.

Looks like we may be waiting as well on m9, not sure tbh. Currently on 5.1.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I applied the fix possibly to an older rom and forgot to add to latest, can't remember.

Either way I believe this is the thread give this a try.

Try installing like a normal app as his OP suggest, maybe including in rom didn't work.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Andy, having an issue where Hangouts just closes a thread and returns to list of threads when I try to respond to a post. Thought it might be keyboard related based upon some posts earlier in the thread (I prefer Swiftkey) but switching keyboard didn't change it. I once got a pop-up that Hangouts required a Google Play services update, but there's no way to do that manually in the Play Store, and I don't want to sideload the wrong version (for instance, I could grab the one from my M9, but I think the different chipsets have different versions).

Any notion of what could be causing that? (It happened on 6.0 with Xposed, and on 7.5 with Xposed, but I'm now running pretty much "stock" 7.5 without Xposed).

BTW, on the Verizon M9 front, testers got a new OTA this past week. It's not pretty. Thermal issues are back.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
you need to let google play services update when you get that notification (it'll open play store, don't click out of playstore until it's updated..).

Let me pop on my M8 however and see if I get the update, I'll pull and make a .zip for you..

As for M9 I'm on dev edition android 5.1 - 4.10.401.1 and running very well. hopefully they get it together soon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Make sure you don't have gmscore in data/app - then flash this in recovery.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26383143/HTC/HTC One M8/M8-GMSCore-7.31.15.zip
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Thanks. Figured out after a little digging that it was a double install of Hangouts that caused the problem.

Sent into the innertubes from my HTC One M8.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Glad you got it figured out.

Once I get some time I post a v7.5.1 - same as v7.5 with all system apps updated into system. - will require a full clean flash, however.

I'll also update the MOD Pack with latest apps, can't remember if it is up-to-date or not at the moment.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ahowe125:
So, let me start by saying, I don't think my issue is related to the ROM in anyway. BUT, I'm asking here since its a more active ROM thread, and its what I currently have flashed.

Today I was still using v6.0. I have not had a single issue since installing it, and its been perfect. But this morning my phone starts displaying that no sim card is installed. Then it pops back on, and then off again. which it stayed that way most the day. Having seen this issue a time or two before on the forums, I tried to clean the card, re-seat the card a few times, and then after work, even replace the card. But nothing worked. I am right now in the process of re-flashing firmware, and trying v7.5 just in case.

But should this not fix it, do you guys have any other ideas? Does the card reader go bad in these phones often?

Thanks for any ideas.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
I don't recall encountering that myself when I was running Fluent 6. I did encounter other issues, likely related to early alphas of Xposed. Otherwise, I found it a reliable, solid ROM.

Upgraded to Fluent 7.5 largely because I have been testing the M9 since January, and it was easier to keep things straight between the two handsets, my M8 and the test M9. Also, I don't do Xposed any more.

My name is Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ahowe125:
I did reflash firmware and updated to v7.5 last night, and its still an issue. Like I figured, its not software related. I'm afraid that something in the hardware died. Maybe the sim card reader? Or the board itself?

I went into Verizon to swap out the sim card yesterday, and he mentioned that they have a special open enrollment for insurance plans, which would allow me to swap the phone under manufacturer warranty. Only major issue with that is I'm sure I will get a certified refurbished phone with the latest Android, making it much more difficult to get s-off. So I'm not really sure what route I'm going to take.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sorry to hear of this issue.

As for S-OFF, not a problem really as long as you can be without a phone for a few days. All Verizon M9 phones have used a Java Card for S-OFF, sinceSunShine isn't supported yet. There are many very reputable people with the Java Card that will get it S-OFF and sent back to you very quickly. Depending on how far the person is and how fast you ship it will depend on how fast you get it back. I sent it to a good friend only about 5 hours away, so I sent it out on a Monday and had it back by Friday. You need only pay for shipping to and from then a "donation" to the person with the Java Card.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] icedventimocha:
I also did not have this issue with 6.0, and ran it for about 2 months solid. On v7.5 sometimes when I reboot I get a "unsupported sim" pop-up, but it goes away and all is good. Have you tried an ruu? And fwiw I've had to do warranty or insurance claims multiple times on multiple devices, usually the devices are one update behind if not more, so shouldn't be an issue. I do believe a temp root was found for the latest update anyway, and s-off is achehievable. You'd have to check jcase's thread for certainty, but do believe I read that on Twitter and in his thread.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ahowe125:
Thanks for the ideas guys. I didn't think to do the RUU, but maybe I will do that tonight. If not then I think I may do the warranty route as I have really fallen for the m8 and don't want to spend the money on the m9 yet.

Edit: Well just did the RUU process and its on 5.0.1 and still no access to the sim card. I'm pretty sure its hardware at this point. I guess time to use a stock RUU, lock it up, clean it out and see if that VZW Rep can help me with the warranty. Now here to hoping I get one that I can unlock, and if not I'll be sending it out for the java card.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jmvaught:
My son's rooted, s-offed m8 had the same issue (no SIM). I've been working on it on and off for several weeks. I've tried SIM trays, upper SIM/SD card daughter board and associated flex cable, in addition to software/firmware fresh flashes. Then I pulled out my microscope. What I found was the 51 pin connector the connects the daughter board to the motherboard had a pin that seemingly was covered with plastic. I assume that it's a fault in the connector molding process since the device was new and I'm the only one that's been inside it since it was built. That's my theory anyway. I had to order the connector from Germany and expect it to be here in the next few days. I'll report back with pictures regardless the outcome.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] furious78:
S-OFF for 5.0.1 on M8 was achieved a few weeks back. I was suffering on stock after a warranty replacement for about a month, but now I'm back. Confirmed this works:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ahowe125:
Well this is great news and the timing couldn't be better. I ordered another phone today through the extended warranty program covered under the total protection plan I added today. So hopefully I can be back on fluent ROM by the weekend. I seriously miss the m8 going back to the m7. The m7 is a much softer feeling phone and almost feels too small now, haha. Not to mention, it's my broken backup phone. Camera won't focus, speaker is blown and battery life is pretty bad.

But enough about my phone issues, back to the awesomeness of this ROM and it's proven record of being stable as ever. I played with v7.5 for a bit while troubleshooting my m8 and it was super fast.

Thanks for the help, and see you again soon.

I am having the same issue on another rom. I'm thinking it may be lollipop related.I've been able to "fix" mine with a reboot, but it's certainly annoying. Maybe try going back to a kitKat rom, I'm seriously considering it until lollipop runs smoother. But I'm downloading this rom to give it a try first.
