.. sry may the wrong section for this question.. but is there still a planed or running project from viperroms for this M8s device?? do you have any informations ?
[One (M8s) General] DACATA:
and again..Oo.. is it possible to install su via twrp for rooting device or are there any probs ?
[One (M8s) General] xunholyx:
As far as I can remember, there never was. Sorry. Nobody on Team Venom owns the M8s. It's hard to work on a ROM for a device that you don't own. No way to check for and work out bugs.

I see no reason why SuperSU wouldn't work. Like you are saying, download the Beta UpdateSU.zip and flash it in recovery.
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
I'm sure you meant to link the Beta version of SuperSU, right?
[One (M8s) General] xunholyx:
Thank you. Link has been fixed.

I had forgotten seeing something about this earlier in the thread.
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
Thanks for updating your link. Probably better to link to the thread, though . . .
[One (M8s) General] xunholyx:
Probably, and done.
[One (M8s) General] DACATA:
Suu Beta still running..?. How can I get s-off..? Would like to install adaway too... But s-off is needed...?. Any link info or method?
[One (M8s) General] El-Conkistador:
No for S-off. I don't work for this because it's very dangerous and can cause a brick phone. It's not for me actually ;)

Adaway need really S-Off ? Just root not working ?
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
I wanted s-off because I wanted to port Cyanogenmod. S-Off is unplanned for this device, or at least, that's what the sunshine dev told me. The chipset is different from the M8. So right now, the m8s is not really able to run any ROM other than stock. BUMMER

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

The same thing happened to me and I described what I did to fix it, hope you are ok now :)
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
What does S-OFF have to do with porting CyanogenMod?
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Yeah, nothing. I was mistaking, ignore me, I'm n00b :)
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
So does that mean your port is in progress? ;)
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Haha yeah. Not going fast though, I'm working my way through learning all of the steps. Have just compiled m8s kernel from their sources (good find btw, when you noticed it was posted as M8) and ofc. thanks [MENTION=6701903]El-Conkistador[/MENTION] for uploading it to your site, much faster.

Real life is also interfering but that being said I'm not giving up just yet :cowboy:
[One (M8s) General] KoNiGi21:
New M8s :D :D

Hello everybody,

Today i bought M8s and i'm very impressed.

My last phone from July 2014 was HTC ONE M8 and i can understand differences between those two phones.

First of all i think than the screen colours is better now and the speed of the phone is very good.

My last Rom on M8 was RHD 2.22 and i believe by my mind that was the better and the most stable.

I'm looking for to customise my M8s but i read that i have to wait about recovery root and custom Roms.

Dear admins please open one new thread about us who has the new M8s.

Keep Going.

BEST REGARDS FROM GREECE BROTHERS.

KONSTANTINOS.
[One (M8s) General] tsimitsangaz:
yes we need a new development section for our brand new m8s phones, you are right Brother?
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] FYI I am currently trying to get the recovery to build. I am starting with cm11 because I already have those sources. The recovery image I built does not work, so, I restored your recovery (B3). It's still orange for me, not blue.
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
Can you post a recovery log?

And I'd recommend building with Lollipop source.
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
See the attachment, it's the log for twrp-2.8.7.0_CPTB-B3-m8ql.img.

Or did you mean a recovery log for the one I made? I didn't change much for my recovery; just ran mkvendor.sh with a stock boot.img.

I'll download the cm12 sources overnight, will try building that too, later this week. It's fun to learn about this stuff, but it sure eats up a lot of time :angel:
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
Can you post a screenshot of the recovery, too?

It's very weird for two of the same device to have different pixel formats. In fact, I don't even know if it's possible, so I find this very curious.
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
BGR_565 is mine, what's the other?

Also, the thing about the timezone: the time displays correctly but the timezone does not. It displays the time right but reports the timezone as "CST6CDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0" But the timezone is not really UTC-6 here. But UTC+1 (and DST, so, currently +2)

Screenshot attached but this is strange: I see it as orange, but the screenshot is blue. It still looks like the photo I made in a previous post.
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Awesome! :highfive:
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
Can you try this version of TWRP? and post a recovery.log? Thanks!

twrp-2.8.7.0_CPTB-B5-m8ql.img

MD5: 27060230d0bd8d712fed7ba3475a90f3

Did you select the appropriate time zone in Settings first?
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
This fixes it. Colors look good now!

Regarding timezone, yes; if I change nothing, the time displays correctly, but the timezone is wrong. If I change the timezone, the time is wrong.
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
Log?
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
I had to search. Suddenly there was no /tmp/recovery.log -- but -- /cache/recovery/last_log was where I could find it. See attch.
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
Mass Storage mode might be working for the external SD card now too. Can you confirm?
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Ha, yes from recovery it does! I can't mount it - no exfat support on my desktop machine! I'm impressed. How did you get this to work? I've been trying to get mass storage to work on my HTC M7... never got it right!

From my desktop:

kernel: sd 26:0:0:0: [sdf] 125009920 512-byte logical blocks: (64.0 GB/59.6 GiB)
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
M7 doesn't have an external SD card.
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
eh, derp. LOL. My bad! I thought it would be possible for the internal SD too. Brainfarting, never mind :cyclops:

Nice work though ;)
[One (M8s) General] PatarNoster:
Just a quick question, this img can be flashed via the recovery or needs to be done with odin ?
[One (M8s) General] mihai10001:
Uhm ODIN on a HTC? There's no ODIN on HTC. That image can be flashed via recovery.
[One (M8s) General] xatou:
Sorry for the of topic but how could I root the m8s; I wish someone to support this phone with costum roms because is not fair..

Στάλθηκε από το HTC One M8s μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[One (M8s) General] mihai10001:
Why don't you just read the thread before asking questions? Simply flash SuperSU (the beta version is a must) using the TWRP recovery provided by [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION].
[One (M8s) General] PatarNoster:
Ahh yeah... used command prompt... Too much in my head... cant remember lol thanks.
[One (M8s) General] El-Conkistador:
I actually cooking a Custom ROM. Stock Based, with all optimisation available (Like Revolution HD ROM) ... I test the stability and add other tweak..
[One (M8s) General] mihai10001:
Wow man great :) Can't wait to see if it will come to a result.
[One (M8s) General] Kestrel81:
Excellent news! I look forward to test driving it. Any idea on ETA?
[One (M8s) General] menirules:
Hey,

I tried to download the files but there is no recovery for my RUU (1.11.401.2).

Is there any way to get this file? I tried, but i just can not live without root :)
[One (M8s) General] DACATA:
nice to read it ;) :good: :fingers-crossed: cant w8 for a first preview..

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

is there a possible way to install busybox ? just tried ..and no chance because the phone crash during installation :( in the first thread you say that busybox can be only installed via recovery.. but how ???? cant find any *.zip for flashing busybox
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
Are you using a kernel with system write protection disabled? Did you search for "busybox zip"?
[One (M8s) General] El-Conkistador:
Yes, i've publish a Preview (1.2 Beta) Android Pandora ROM on my repository (http://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL_UL)/ROM/Android Pandora ROM 1.2/). You can try but it's a beta version and if others developpers wan't work with this it's not a problem ;)

For installing Busybox, with a Stock firmware you must flash a Custom Boot.img with a Kernel recompiled with Security System disabled (Boot.img http://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL_..._Kernel_1.11.401.2-1.11.401.2@3.10.49_v5.0.2/ for 1.11.401.2 version) with the command "htc_fastboot flash boot boot.img" ;)
[One (M8s) General] PatarNoster:
Hey so what's the stability like have you got a bug list or what's working or not that we can test and add for you ?
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
You need to read the thread, there is a recovery available. Sorry, no shortcuts.
[One (M8s) General] xunholyx:
Nice work dude! You've really done some great work here. I was seeing M8s questions about recoveries and ROMs on the Q&A for quite a while. I'm really impressed with how you've went forward with your original search for a recovery here.

You've really taken this project much further than I expected. Well done.
[One (M8s) General] mihai10001:
Wow dude , this is actually amazing :) I will try it out when I'll have the time . Didn't expect this thread to go this far . Excellent !
[One (M8s) General] Kestrel81:
Thank you very much for the boot.img. I have just got rid of a load of crap-ware that they insist on making system files that really shouldn't be, like facebook, google+ apps, drive and twitter. Why do they do that? Anyway, thanks again. :good::good::good:
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
[MENTION=6701903]El-Conkistador[/MENTION] can you describe how you built it, please? I'm curious!
[One (M8s) General] El-Conkistador:
A ReadMe is available with the ROM ;)
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
It's more of a change / feature log. I mean like how you built the custom boot.img, I'm still in the learning phase. Is there a howto somewhere?

PS. I am learning a lot about porting CM, so who knows, maybe I will be able to get CM12.1 to work. We'll see. It's definitely a lot especially for someone as new as me. So I really respect the CM (and other ROM) maintainers who do this stuff in their free time for the many devices! In fact, I'm currently updating my HTC One S (ville) to CM12.1. That phone is already abandoned by HTC, so if it wasn't for communities like these, it would not get updates anymore!
[One (M8s) General] Kestrel81:
El_conkistador, how do I install the RUU file? I thought they were self contained executable's, but the ones in your repo are .zip. I have tried extracting the files and flashing the system, boot, cache, data and recovery img files using fastboot, but all fail with a message about signature verification failing. Am I missing a step somewhere?
[One (M8s) General] xunholyx:
fastboot flash zip "NAME OF RUU HERE".zip doesn't work? You may have to run it twice. Don't disconnect, just input that command again if you get an error.
[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
That command only works from RUU mode, so "fastboot oem rebootRUU" would be required for it to have a chance of working. This thread specifically links htc_fastboot, so the command should replace fastboot with htc_fastboot. But I'm not sure whether that works or not. Placing the zip on an external SD card with the proper name should work, though.
[One (M8s) General] Kestrel81:
Yes, I tried that several times, but it failed. Also used htc_fastboot with same results.

Captain_Throwback, do we know what the proper name is yet? And do you mean to flash it with TWRP recovery or stock recovery? I tried it with TWRP, but that failed also.

For the last 12 hours, I have been running Pandora and have found no issues so far. Everything seems to be working perfectly so far. :cool:
[One (M8s) General] xatou:
If we flash this rom is there a way to go back to stock? And a change log list or the futures of the rom?

[One (M8s) General] Captain_Throwback:
RUU is always flashed via bootloader, not recovery. And I posted the name the file needs to be earlier in the thread.
[One (M8s) General] Alex-M8:
Is the pandora rom faster, like is it smoother because right now my One M8s is super laggy when scrolling so something must be terribly wrong with the screen or maybe its just the software idk but the thing is no one else seem to have this problem so i don't know what to do please tell me if any of you are having the same problem or if you think i should restore it and send it back?
[One (M8s) General] tsimitsangaz:
mine is lagging as well, and I did a factory reset , hopefully the 5.1 and sense 7 will be more optimised and snapdragon 615 will work as it should

[One (M8s) General] El-Conkistador:
You want use a RUU. But you have download the bad RUU for your phone, beaucoup "system, cache, data, recovery.." are available from the RUU Uncrypted (FOR DEVELOPPERS!).

Go here : http://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL_UL)/Firmware (Expert)/Firmware Uncrypted (For Developpers ONLY)/ ; Download the RUU version equal or more of your Phone. Unzip the RUU in your computer, reboot your phone to Fastboot mode Bootloader and run ARUWIZARD.exe. The RUU installing.

nice work !! which pandora version isit and which linux kernel 3.x ? cant find any info in your txt.. thx
[One (M8s) General] eltasmanico:
just installed your Pandora Rom, seems to be very smooth and better than the original Rom. Thanks mate

Will there be an own threat for this rom here at xda? Or maybe there is one yet and i was to foolish to find? :D
[One (M8s) General] PatarNoster:
Was the install as easy as just downloading and flashing via recovery ? Have you found any issues or connectivity problems that could stop you from using it day to day ?
[One (M8s) General] eltasmanico:
Installing was very easy.

The Rom comes with Aroma Installer so it really no problem Rom install it.

I just made a Dirty Flash without wiping system before the installation and i actually don't see any bugs

[One (M8s) General] PatarNoster:
I installed the pandora rom,. had an issue with blinkfeed constantly crashing, managed to update HTC apps and it fixed.

If you have this issue use the google search feature to search for play store, since the blink feed crash stops you from going to desktop.
[One (M8s) General] eltasmanico:
I'm using Nova launcher but I also had the warning about blinkfeed stopped several times. But after one or two reboots everything is fine now

Now Pandora works perfectly :)
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
I don't have this problem. Before sending it back (and don't wait too long with that), try if a full reinstall would work. We've described the process a bit back in this thread, because I had to reinstall it too. Captain_Throwback helped me.. So start reading from page 19 if you don't know how to flash the RUU. You will lose all of your data... but I guess that's less of a problem than the problem you have at the moment.

If flashing does not help, and it is still laggy then yes, I'd suggest to get it replaced. It's not a problem we all have, that's for sure.
[One (M8s) General] DACATA:
don't forget ..beta status. i didn't had that issues because i use apex launcher and everything seems to work fine, also busybox .. but after flashing xposed framework had a hard boot stock ..power button dosnt work and i had to wait for battery drain for resetting the device..

[One (M8s) General] eltasmanico:
I didn't wipe anything, just made a so called dirty flash

The installer will wipe cache and dalvik after installation

Xposed works well on my phone
[One (M8s) General] Alex-M8:
I don't know why but it still laggs when i swipe even with the pandora rom
[One (M8s) General] xunholyx:
Next time don't wait for your battery to drain. Hold down the power button + vol up to reboot. To boot to bootloader instead, do the same, but as soon as the screen goes off switch from vol up to vol down.

No HDMI connection on HTC one M8S

Hello,

Maybe my question is a little off topic. But since I was told that in this thread is the most knowledge of the HTC one M8S, I give it a try.

Since a couple of weeks I own a HTC ONE M8S.

I rooted exactly in the way at the start of this thread.

I don't know if it's because of this action but my HDMI is nog working.

Even de sign HDMI is not coming up.

I have a MHL adapter from startech. My old Phone, HTC one X works perfect with that MHL adapter.

I tried several adapter on the ONE m8s, but no result.

I use the pioneer appradio, that's why I rooted my M8S but even on a normal tv with MHL adapter it does not work but my old HTC oneX does works perfectly on both.

Thank you very much for your answers in advance.

TPRW recovery M8 doesn't work

Hi,

looking at the replies here, I'm not the only one;-(

Tried the TPRW Recovery of the international M8 and it soft bricked my phone. After some nightmare hours I finally got it back running putting the light sensor under a bright light and pushed the Volume down and power button.

Every shutdown needed the same action. Luckily I found this site and could download the RUU recovery and i'm back to Unlocked only which indeed worked like a charm. I would like to root too to get rid off all the HTC bloatware

Any success stories already by others?

EDIT: For reference, it's the one I linked here.
[One (M8s) General] Hand Shandy:
So I'm new on here, but not a complete noob when it comes to rooting.

However, this is the first HTC I'll be rooting and I want to make sure I understand the process.

1. Unlock bootloader using HTC Dev

2. Install the TWRP 2.8.7 linked above via fastboot

3. Flash chainfire's SuperSU

Or

4. Just flash the Pandora ROM, which is prerooted

Do I need to flash any gapps package? I don't need to do anything with RUU or firmware do I?
[One (M8s) General] DACATA:

Yes just follow those steps . There is no need to flash any Gapps .
