Not being an expert and all, flashing the stock rom will not set the recovery back. Basically you need to restore the ROM and then the recovery. I would like to add that the above worked for me, but I am researching a wifi issue I am having so take what I did with a grain of salt.

**update**: I ended up doing a factory wipe and now the wifi works.... oh well.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] douglasf01:
This command fastboot flash recovery recoveryfile.img, did you have to select any options or switches for it to work correctly? The reason I ask is that when I opened up a CMD and CD to the adp/fastboot folder I ran the command line and was given a list of switches/options to run it with.

Any suggestions here?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] bradley_e_smith:
No, I just downloaded the recovery file, did 'adb reboot-bootloader', then did the 'fastboot flash recovery recoveryfile.img' (where recoveryfile.img is the actual filename).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] douglasf01:
I see, that is not the case for me. If anything I have the utility that can do all this, but that wasnt working for me either.

I guess I am just lost on this I suppose, especially since I didnt do anything but apply TWRP and root the phone, but kept the phone with the stock rom and not a 3rd party rom. I would figure killing the root and applying a stock recovery would be all I would need to do in order to OTA and be updated.

I have noticed each time I have flashed the recovery through the utility, I try to get in to the stock recovery and the phone acts as if it is not there and displays a red triangle with an exclamation point in it. I imagine this is an indicator letting me that a recovery is not present.

Any thoughts ?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] douglasf01:
This is the issue I am presented with trying the CMD with fastboot
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] bradley_e_smith:
That is what you would see if you go into recovery. To see more all you do is press both volume keys (up and down) at the same time and press the power button. Then you should see a menu. The stock recovery is not as nice as TWRP.

If you remove root that still may not work (and if someone else knows more please chime in) b/c when you root, it changes the filesystem. I am unsure what the OTA checks on so I would try your 'unroot' method, but if that doesn't work you may need to install a stock un-rooted ROM.

it looks correct, are you sure you have the file exactly typed out and also make sure you are the boot-loader screen.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] douglasf01:
I went into the supersu application and there was an unroot option that clears the cache, system, and modifies something. I also flashed the stock recovery back after your last comment, I have never owned an HTC Android device and wasnt aware that was a default. I am going to try the OTA and see if this works out. I will let you know.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] syntropic:
I have always just reflashed stock recovery.... Made sure I enabled all of the apps I disabled (like bloatware or whatnot), and then was always able to update. I actually can't recall if unrooting was required.

But I do know that locking the boatloader is not necessary.

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

I am just sad to say goodbye to Xposed....
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] syntropic:
When you get the red triangle, hold volume down for a few seconds...you should get a log screen (although it may be volume up, I can't remember, try both)...it will tell you what is wrong.

Also, from my past experiences, if I didn't flash a new stock Rom (but just tried to "clean up" my existing stock Rom), I would run into problems because I had some app on the phone that even if I had deleted it, had originally modified build.prop... And that is one key thing the update checks before proceeding with install. So you have to make sure you have a stock build.prop file.

Anyone notice when WiFi is on 4glte icon is also on at the same time too just like kk4.4.4? It supposed to be when WiFi is on and 4glte icon should be off.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] طوني تبولة:
You need to rename the recovery file.

Avoid using '+' in files names.

If you have spaces in a file name, ALWAYS put a "quotation mark" around the file name.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] cyclonesworld:
Hey guys,

Like that Douglas person who posted, I'm also having issues with the OTA update. I imagine that when he gets back to the post with his results of the failure, it'll probably be the same as mine in the log:

Package expects build fingerprint of htc/tmous/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P/396641.2:user/release-keys or htc/tmous/htc_m8:5.0.1/htc_m8: 5.0.1/LRX22C/464190.4:user/release-keys.; this device has htc/tmous/htc_m8:4.4.3/KTU84L/365360.5/user/release-keys.

I went back to a stock recovery, but I'm on a factory rooted rom with no stock backup. Again, like him, I didn't think I'd ever need/have to go back to stock unrooted. In my case, I've done a factory restore several times but I've still had no luck so far.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] bradley_e_smith:
What you need to do (and this is what I did) is to take a TRWP backup of your current ROM (uncompressed) and copy it to your computer. Then take the stock rom TRWP_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_4.20.531.4-3.32.531.2.zip and unzip it. copy the files from TRWP_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_4.20.531.4-3.32.531.2.zip onto your backup and then copy your backup back to your phone. Restore that backup, reboot and make sure things work (mine did just fine). Next up I uninstalled all programs that required root (just me), replace the recovery with a stock recovery and install the OTA.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] cyclonesworld:
Where did you find TRWP_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_TMOUS_4.20.531.4-3.32.531.2.zip? I'm looking through that one big ass thread and can't find it yet.

And, are you saying replace the backup zip I created with TRWP with the files from that one, and then restore it?There are 13 files, do I replace them all? I don't really care about losing data, all that junk is backed up.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] bradley_e_smith:
look here or here

Yes, copy your TRWP backup to your computer and then copy the STOCK backup on top of your files. If the stock backup has less files, don't worry just copy them. Then copy all the files back to your phone and restore.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] cyclonesworld:
That seemed to have worked, I'm on Lollipop with your method. I found 4.20.531.4_T-MOB010_TWRP in one of the threads, downloaded that, and dumped it into my backup, restored that. Given the option to install SU access, I clicked on no (for not). I flashed the stock recovery rom (Tmo-M8-2.22.531.5-recovery for mine), and tried to ping for an OTA update but got the message that I'm most current. Which I believe is fine?

Restoring my apps and stuff now. Thanks for the help.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] NYLUVBUG:
Sorry for asking something that has probably already been asked. I had ruu my phone when 4.4.4 was released. Couldn't I just flash the stock recovery and unroot my phone in order to get 5.0? I'm rooted, but running the stock rom. I froze the t MO bloatware, but haven't deleted any of the apps that came pre-installed. Thnx
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] epsix:
5.0.1 ruu is already release, just download and double click on .exe. make sure you're soff and supercid.

Ok I am going to make it Abundantly Clear. So there is ZERO I mean ZERO CONFUSION.

What this is NOT -

This is not a Weekly. This is not Stable. If you are looking for either, you are in the wrong thread.

This is Not a Daily Driver. If you are looking for one, go to SlimKat Thread.

This is not Fully Functional Picture Perfect Rom. You do not get to Complain and call names on the thread if you expected anything else.

This Build does have bugs. Those that are known to me are listed Bellow.

What this is -

This is an Early Alpha Build. To those who don't know, that's prior Stage of a Beta or Weekly Build.

Its a Preview of things to come. If you notice, my list of Features is lacking quiet a few of Slim Features.

Yes there are bugs. The ones I do know are

Root does not Stick. See Notes Bellow.

Stock Camera clicks but does not take pictures. When you switch to Video Mode, you'd get error "Unable to Connect to Camera". Afterwards you have to reboot to clear.

Some of the 3rd Party Camera Apps work. For Ex. Open Camera, VivaVideo

APN Menu does not show any of the APNs for at least Sprint Variant.

When connected to WiFi, MMS are delayed. Only seems to affect D2VZW.

NOTES -

You must Flash SuperSU [STABLE][2015.01.20] SuperSU v2.4.5 as a Zip file along after flashing Rom.

If you posted a bug/issue not listed above, without a Logcat, I will ignore it.

Unless specified otherwise, do not dirty flash on top of SlimKat or Other Roms. If you did and then complained even with Logcat, I will ignore.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Just in case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
So far, this is running very smoothly with no issues other than the known bugs.

Battery life not quite what I have with SlimKat 9, but not bad. And, to be fair, I tested it for less than 24 hours. Also had an issue with WiFi not turning itself back on while using LeanDroid, but it worked fine after I uninstalled the app. Very impressive for an Alpha, though. If it's not quite a daily driver, it's damn close. Hopefully the camera lib problem across all the d2 LP builds will be solved soon.

As for MVNO APNs, I'm on Ting and flashing their APN's after rom & gapps worked fine (data, LTE, etc).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] onedr0p:
I wonder if Slim is ever going to bring back CM themes, it's the only thing holding me back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:

right ?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
why does it say it's D2GSM in the Notes and will this flash on the newer "T" model (triband Sph-L710T)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
That's for RingPlus, but same idea. I found the Ting apn zip here: https://help.ting.com/entries/23423026-Flashable-Zip-Fixed-LTE-eHRPD-for-CyanogenMod

I use the 4.3 file, but it works for 4.4 and 5, too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks. That was a Project copy. Bullet Removed.

Thanks. I don't suppose you are able to see APN Menu Are you ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Yes - I can access it using Google Gesture Search. Also, regarding Open Camera - it works for the most part, but occasionally it will lock up if I tap the screen to focus. A reboot is needed to use the camera again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
That's mighty helpful. Are you able to switch from one APN to another if you wanted to do so ? Also I understand, the menu to APN does not Appear under Setting>Mobile Data > Access Point Names. Is that right ? Eitehr that or don't see a listing at the said place.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Yes, it seems I can switch APNs. But there's no menu listing where there should be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Can you please list the steps you took to access the Menu via Google Gestures ? I want to reproduce for another device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Just start drawing A-P-N and it should appear on the list. It usually appears after just the A for me. Also, I found a major bug the hard way this morning when the alarm didn't sound. It was set to the priority profile, so it should have worked. I also had no ringtone for one phone call this morning (default profile), but it worked for another. I'll try to reproduce at least the ringtone issue for a logcat, but then I'll have to go back to KK.

Update: Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the the alarm/ringtone issue. But, full disclosure, I forgot I was using BMS kernel at the time (sorry, love the cold trinity colors and the battery life it gives me on KK). I went back to the stock kernel nandroid I have and did the testing. So maybe it's a third-party kernel problem, or it could have something to do with the phone being in deep sleep for an extended period of time, which was the other variable. I'll do more testing when I can, but I have a busy week ahead, so it won't be right away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks for the Update. Test when you can please. Do note, Ringtones on External SD might just might be an issue as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
I wish it was that easy, but I was using system and default ringtones/notifications. I'll get back to it when I can. I was really enjoying it otherwise.

[MENTION=3612322]kjjm[/MENTION],

Would you care to test

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934530680

For me ? See if you are able to access and/or Switch the APN Menu ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Sorry it took me a while to get to this. I was able to access the APN menu and switch it to Ting, but I was only able to get 3g. Strangely, after switching, I was not able to see the APNs and got the "...not available to this user" message.

I then went back into recovery, wiped the caches, and flashed my APN file. I went back to the APN menu (still getting that message), reset to default, toggled airplane mode on and off, and now I have LTE. I can now see the APN menu again, but it's only the Ting APNs that I flashed. This, by the way, was how I got LTE on KitKat, too. Switching via the APN menu only gave me 3g.

but it's a paid app. you know what to do already. (if you know what i mean)

but it has no front camera feature. so just use the normal aosp camera for front cam features.

[IDEs, Libraries, & Programming Tools] AmniX:
Description -

This Library is to use as a app passcode protection implementation, which allows developer to protect their app with a four digit code.

When you Implement it into your app, then user have to Enter four Digit Pin Code as Developer implemented it, for e.g.- onCreate onResume onRestart or More...

This is just a dialog which doesnt need any kind of permission or manifest entry.

just Implement it and use it.

enabled a four-digit passcode needs to be entered any time your mobile app is launched. This way your app is safe even if your smartphone or tablet falls into the wrong hands.

*Note: This library doesn't add any extra protection to your data. App data will not be encrypted, the library just adds a pin lock screen that makes the app safe even if your kids put their hands on the device.

Library

Library Link is HERE

Implementation

Step1- Download the zip and Import library into your workspace, "Don't Forget to mark on Copy to workspace"

Step2- Refer Library from your App.

Step3 - Make an Object of PinLockDialog Class and show it anywhere you want to.

For E.G.

new PinLockDialog(CurrentClassContext, pininString, OnPinMatchMessage, onPinMismatchedMessage).show();

Customization

To Change the Background of Lock, Just replace the dialog_bg.png from res/ to your's png.

Have Fun. I will post some ScreenShot Soon.
