Yes, I have the correct drivers. I can try the SD card method, but what do I do about my phone now since it is still in the update mode? Do I just unplug it and reboot?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes... if it's stuck sending it likely never got to flash anything. If you get stuck at all.. I can help using teamviewer...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] boneman69:
Thank God that worked. I thought I was screwed. Once I download the SD card zip I'll try that. It is different than the EXE download right?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
No different.. but do the Hboot.zip via sd card first.. then delete that one off your SD card and do the other larger full ruu zip and report back how it goes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] boneman69:
I downloaded the 1.7gig RUU zip file, renamed, went to Hboot and it recognized it and installed. Rebooted and it is updating Android now. Stay tuned....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kwalnut:
Do you need to rename the RUU zip file to something after you delete the renamed hboot file?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] boneman69:
Looking good so far. Apps are re-installing now.

Yes.. same thing 0P6BIMG.zip
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Herbbowlman:
I have this installed and running nicely. Thank you very much for the effort.

Slightly off-topic, is there a stand alone mod that would put the battery percentage inside the status bar battery icon? I've used Xposed/Sense Toolbox to do this in the past, but I seem to recall a time when I ran across a mod that did this without Xposed. Does anyone know where I might find that? (I'm not even sure it would be compatible with Lolipop)

Wipe?

There's a way to flash the update without wiping my phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Not here.. If you are stock with stock recovery you can manually flash the OTAs..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] elvagoproductions:
you know where i can get it? And if i Flash it, that will not wipe my phone?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
IF you are close to stock rom right now.. you can actually flash this RUU for 4.4.4 which will not wipe at all. Then take the OTAs. When done you will need to flash TWRP 2.8.5 and flash supersu.zip to re-root. S status and lock status are not affected by these.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] elvagoproductions:
I flashed your RUU of 4.4.4 and i'm still on that... But when i search software updates i can't download any OTA, and in the HTC Mánager i just get the Repair option.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
the s-off one? do you have have stock recovery?

edit... just flash the s-on one i have posted in general.. it will work. then take the OTAs.. then flash twrp 2.8.5 and supersu

[MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] do I need to load that hboot file you uploaded if my first flash was successful.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
nah... hboot is included in the full RUU. I think the /data partition issues may be caused by there not being a reboot between hboot and the RUU flash. That's why i am asking users who are flashing now to flash that part first and reboot.. then flash the RUU. Curious if the double pump is necessary (it was for VZW).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
Gotcha. My initial attempt to update via the 5.0. 1 RUU did fail. I believe that was due to the custom firmware I was running. So then I decided to use the 4.4.4 RUU. I let that boot and then after that I used the 5.0. 1 RUU and that loaded perfect. Thanks again for this man. One more question regarding the radio's. On 4.4.4 they were something like 1.02.0926. Now on 5.0.1 they are 1.12.(I don't remember the rest) Does that seem correct to you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] elvagoproductions:
And how i will recover the S-OFF?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MotoTurbo:
Damn that was the problem I had. Instead of rebooting I just rebooted bootloader lol. Probably shouldve thought that one through :)

wifi dropping

first, thanks for this tool :). I did the RUU once and got a 152 error. I tried again and it was successful. Problem is, my WiFi is dropping with my screen on and has to reconnect every few minutes. What numbers should my firmware and etc say on bootloader, I think my firmware may have flashed wrong. Btw I'm still on the RUU stock 5.01 and previously had digital highs firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] toknitup420:
I have that same issue with the Wi-Fi on the Rom that comes with the RUU.

Edit. I flashed viper 4.3.0 and Wi-Fi hasn't had any issues. Not sure what was causing the issues on stock.

Edit. Still dropping on viper. I'm gunna run the RUU again. Maybe it didn't take properly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] duniecool:
I'm thinking it may be the Rom, or posssbily just a factory reset could fix it. My firmware appears to be correct. Once again, thanks for this tool.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
More likely the firmware you had been on. I have flashed this RUU to my phone about 6 times now and not had any wifi issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] duniecool:
You think another repeat of the RUU ought to do it, or would I be alright just to go to my custom Rom of choice?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] infamous84:
Since were S-off can we still downgrade to 4.4.4. if need to with the same method?

Help Please

I'm stuck. I flashed the L Hboot in first post via sd card as described just fine. Now when phone boots it shows red letters so must have made some change. I then downloaded the first ruu download full, placed in folder on desktop, run wizard, go through it says i have image version 4.16.401.10. I hit run and it wipes erase data real quick then gets stuck on sending (0/1) for about 5-10 minutes. Then get Error 171 USB Connection Error.

I downloaded HTC sync manager just in case to make sure all drivers are good but still no difference.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Ok. So you were definitely on non vzw firmware.

Get your phone in fastboot if it's not already. Cancel the exe.

Open the folder on your pc where the ruu exe is. Hold shift key and right click inside folder. Select open cmd prompt here.

HTC_fastboot oem rebootRUU

HTC_fastboot flash zip Rom.zip

When it's completed do a

HTC_fastboot reboot

I'm having some issues here. First off, I'm S-off.

Trying the .exe method errors out before launching with "the applications side by side configuration is incorrect"

Using the .zip gives me "target reported max download size of ....." "error cannot load ruu.zip"

I'm currently redownloading the exe thinking maybe a bad download but I doubt it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Ok....although not common, the side by side error can be fixed by installing Microsoft visual basic 2010 (free)

Second, what firmware are you coming from?

Third, follow same steps as I just detailed above using HTC_fastboot.exe which is in the exe folder.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yeppers. One thing I have learned is that regardless of which partition fails to flash the phone goes into the 4 ! Mode until you successfully flash any zip. Flashing an hboot is always successful and gets you back out of that state. In the case of the data pieces it's really annoying.

A true fail safe method would be to only use fastboot and fastboot oem task 28 prior to flashing the ruu. This formats data.

My further hunch tells me you will be fine using this one in the future and that most of the problems are caused by the jump and partition changes they made in L

Thank you, greatly appreciate the help! Now phone rebooted and Android is Upgrading 280 apps. I forgot to flash custom TWRP 2.8.5 though that you have posted in OP.

Do i still need to flash the TWRP or is my previous version on phone? I originally had TWRP v.2.8.5 latest running before this flash.

If i need to flash your TWRP, how do i do so again? Thank you

PSA for Lollipop recoveries/mod zips/etc

There's a link for twrp there. Or the ruu mode one in the op you can rename and put on your sd card to use boot loader to load. Just make sure its 2.8.5 for reasons detailed in the thread I linked above. What I cover in that thread is basically the same partition changes that likely are causing us the grief in upgrading.

What I didn't state there is that the new partition that was added is vzw_logger.

Let your minds wonder now.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] driguez:
Would using flashify be another viable option?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
It is however I recommend you manually download your own image. In my testing over the last month or so I had it often identifying our variant as a Sprint variant. You can download twrp using the link in the above thread and use flashify to flash it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] It IS Lupus:
out of curiosity other than the branding, is there any internal difference between the different versions of the M8? I flashed TWRP from flashify before reading this
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Partitioning wise yes they are different. Different carriers add different things. What file did flashify grab you?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] It IS Lupus:
...2.8.5.0-M8_whl.img (just didn't feel like typing out the first half
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Sprint indeed. Go into flashify and send him a feedback message letting him know. I have been trying to get him to answer too.

Make sure you download the right image and flash it asap.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] It IS Lupus:
the correct one being WLV right? assuming so because thats where the link to the image files leads(from teamwin's page)

[MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION]. I just ran the RUU off my sd card a second time. I will report back on how WiFi is. So far it hasn't dropped on me.

No more dropping. Running the RUU twice seemed to do the trick.

Edit. I'm an idiot. I believe the issues with my Wi-Fi were due to my router and not the RUU. my wife was having the same issues on her galaxy note 4 that is completely stock. I changed a few things around with my router and changed my connection to 2.4 GHz in Wi-Fi settings on my phone and it's been perfect since.

[Ascend Mate 7 Themes and Apps] MrStickmanPro1:
Hey guys,

you might have discovered that on your Mate 7 all app icons (that shouldn't have a background) have a background set by your phone.

However, this does not always look good (in my opinion at least) - so I tried to fix it.

There is basically a simple solution to it which I want to share with you here.

Requirements

7zip or any other similar tool on your computer

A file manager app on your phone that supports accessing the whole file system (for example "FX File Explorer")

My solution will probably work with other apps and programs too but I will only describe it for these exact ones.

Part 1: Copying the theme to an accessible location

Copying a preinstalled theme

Open FX File Explorer on your phone. Locate the System category and open it.

Navigate to /system/themes and copy the file you wish to modify. (long press -> copy). The default theme is "Golden.hwt"

Now go back to the main window in FX.

Go to Main Storage and paste the file there. (click on "CLIPBOARD" in the top right corner and click paste in the sidebar that just opened)

Copying a user-installed theme

For user-installed themes this process is optional and mostly unnecessary. However, I will explain it anyway:

Open FX File Explorer on your phone. Locate the Main Storage category and open it

Navigate to HWThemes and copy the file you wish to modify. This time you might have to copy all the .hwt files because they aren't named the same as the theme.

Step 3 and 4 are the same as for preinstalled themes.

Part 2: Modifying the theme

Connect your phone to your computer. Open it with explorer or the file manager you have installed if you are not using Windows.

In the folder Internal Storage you should now find the themes you copied in part 1. Move them to your computer.

For user-installed themes you have to locate the correct theme first. To do that, you have to open each file with 7zip and look for the name in the file description.xml inside the zip (The name is always the entry "title")

Once you have found the correct theme, open it with 7zip. then doubleclick on icons inside the zip.

Download the universal transparent icon pack from the attachment. Open it in a seperate window of 7zip.

Copy all the files in the downloaded zip to the image folder in the theme.

Now navigate up one directory inside the theme zip. Open the file description.xml again and change the name inside the title tag. (Example: <title>XYZ</title> -> <title>XYZ_modified</title>

Close 7zip and copy the file back to your device. YOU HAVE TO PLACE IT IN THE "HWThemes" FOLDER!

Now you can enable the theme just like you activate any other theme (in the Designs app)

Congratulations, you have removed the icon backgrounds from your theme.

Sorry if my english is not that good... It's not my native language :P

I tried this on Ascend G6 (EMUI3.0).

Srangly enough, it works for some icons, but some icons (not the stock ones!) still have a coloured added background.
