Won't work

I've followed your steps to the t to try and manually flash the m8vzw_allinone_firmware_6.21.605.3 and when I try to load it through the command prompt it says failed remote: 12 signature fail. How can I get past this I've been trying for the past couple hours and can't figure it out please help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
No need to quote entire post mate. :)

Sounds like your bootloader is still locked?

Paste output of : fastboot getvar all

Remove serial and imei.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] John.Tuggle:
Won't work

Sorry first time posting in a thread what do I do. I don't understand what you want me to do.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Claps1775:
Hello all. Her phone has been running slow. I did a factory wipe and seems not the same. Send msgs again after you send one and receiving them is slow a times. She had her phone for 25 months now. I would like to unlock the BL and install a good rom for her. This one would be a good fit for her. I read through some of this. My wife has the Verizon HTC One M8. Right now she would like to get the HTC 10 but we need to save up for it at this time. So in the mean time I am looking at this rom to hold her over. I have rooted and unlocked and flashed before. So, Once I get her M8 unlocked, flashed twrp, and flashed su in twrp. It is the same for flashing this rom. Flash it through twrp right? Once rebooted, let it sit for 5 minutes or so to settle and then set up phone? Her phone is updated to current so I should not need the FW then. Just want to make sure I am on the right path. Never unlocks, rooted, or flashed anything but Droids.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Correct, except there's no need to flash SuperSu.

The rom will do that when it installs.

So, s-off /unlock, flash Twrp, wipe and flash rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Claps1775:
Thank you. See if now the wife will let me touch her phone again hehe.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ksfno1:
You recommended flashing the Marshmallow firmware and the latest TWRP for HTC One M8, and then installing the ROM after having wiped system, data, cache, dalvik.

First, I flashed m8vzw_AllInOne_Firmware_6.21.605.3 and then updated to twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.imghttps://dl.twrp.me/m8/

Then, I wiped all the things you mentioned and lastly I installed the ROM via TWRP. I have been sitting on the initial boot screen for about 45 mins. Is there something wrong?

PS: I have jumped directly from STOCK 5.0.1 to this ROM.

https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Is system set to R/W in Twrp?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ksfno1:
I don't really know :( If it is not, how can I set it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Check if it's enabled or not, little box under the MOUNT section in Twrp.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ksfno1:
Now my phone is so overheated that I have to power it off. However, I dunno how I jump to TWRP again when I start my phone again :confused:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
When it's off, press and hold volume down, while holding it down, press and release the power button.

Continue holding volume down until download mode appears.

From there > bootloader > recovery
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ksfno1:
Is it a must TWRP is set to R/W in order for the custom ROM to be installed successfully and then boot up quickly?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Take the boot.img from the rom zip, and flash it in fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then reflash the rom.

Read only is unchecked, so you're good there...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ksfno1:
Thanks, it worked like a charm. However, I got a question: Are you sure this ROM is totally debloated? I ask this cos I see some Verizon apps are still there :confused::angel:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Yes, it's debloated of everything non essential, added by Verizon.

The list is fairly big.

It's still intended to be able to utilize full Verizon services.

I finally bit the bullet and decided to upgrade to this ROM from and old Skydragon Rom 4.4.2. I upgraded firmware, upgraded TWRP from 2.8.5.0 to the latest, then flashed ROM. I was hung up on the HTC splash screen. I decided to restore my Skydragon backup but now I'm also stuck on the Skydragon splash screen. Am I stuck because I restored with a newer TWRP?? Torn between trying to go back to 2.8.5.0 TWRP and try to restore my backup or try to continue upgrading to this ROM. Currently downloading Santod's debloated ROM onto my PC so that I can attempt to fastboot flash the boot.img if I decide to continue with the upgrade. Sorry, stressed out right now, lol =)

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

Alright, in my newest hurdle, I tried to fastboot boot.img from my fastboot folder but it's hung up on "waiting for device". The phone is in recovery mode when I try to do this. My PC sees the internal and external storage of my phone. What am I missing here? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Need to be in bootloader/fastboot USB mode/white screen...not in recovery

Then the command is:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] supasizefries:
Ok, realizing my noobness as I go along, I forgot to put the phone in fastboot. I installed the AllInOne.zip twice but I'm still hung up on the HTC splash screen.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Now do the boot. Img properly as I just posted and flash the rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] supasizefries:
Profit! I am now at the "Android is starting..." bit. I reflashed the ROM and booted before I read your latest boot.img instructions. I actually did the boot.img flash before but that was after flashing the firmware via the sdcard way (I never learn). I guess that didn't work. Santod, thanks for your help. My noob taxes are coming your way. Thanks again!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Received and much appreciated. [emoji106]

Glad it worked out for you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] supasizefries:
Ok, I might have encountered my first possible bug. About 50% of the time when I open my camera, it will try to focus and then it'll get stuck trying to focus. What ends up happening is the AF system vibrates continuously and results in a super blurry picture. What's more disturbing is it almost feels like the phone vibrates as if in vibrate mode. The vibration will stop once I close out of the camera. This has never happened to my phone before prior to flashing this ROM. Anyone run into this before?

I have RUU'd the m8vzw_AllInOne_Firmware_6.21.605.3 firmware but it never froze or stopped it was totally successful the first time. Wiped system/data/cache/dalvik. Rebooted into twrp(which I already had installed) and flashed NuSense_of_Stock_M8vzw_6.21.605.3_Debloated. Waited for a half hour and it was still on the green htc screen. Rebooted, waited another half hour. Nothing. It won't boot. Did I miss something?

***update: I fastboot flashed the boot.img, reflashed the rom and it worked.

Thank you!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BryanNikson:
Will this work on 4.21.512.4? Apparently, it is LRA. I was told I just had to install the ROM, and that the firmware wouldn't work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] christopherpetitsc:
Flashed the debloated version seems to work great thanks :)

Backed up the stock mm and flashed the debloated version and flashed the WiFi zip seems to work great and fast :laugh::D:good: and so much less bloat also love the fm radio backed up the fm radio with apk extractor and found it also works on my old in the drawer phone also rooted htc 626s i think its funny all these carriers disable a radio when its got the hardware in the phone, what a waste never knew it had a radio when i used it smh...

i was just going to root the phone and remove the bloat myself but this was much easier. I also like having the full rooted flashable zip if you ever make a nougat version somehow after nougat gets some updates i would love to try it !!

i am so glad somebody is doing this, the phones have so much bloat when they come from Verizon but i like having there service or i should say towers. i will probably end up using the cdma straight talk kit nano for it, it uses the same Verizon towers but has a better deal on data and like the way customer service can call you back.

Even the Verizon tech guy i talked to told me they also use the same towers. Verizon needs to stop adding apps and stuff to there phones and have better deals or they may loose alot of customers:rolleyes:

Error Message While Flashing ROM With TWRP

santod040: I finally got around to trying to flash your latest ROM. I was able to do the firmware "catch up" install in the instructions that you have listed to upgrade to "Marshmallow", and that worked fine. When I try to flash the ROM, I get the following error message:

[FONT="Courier New"]This package is for "htc_m8wl" device; this is a "m8wl"[/FONT]

Then, in red, it says:

[FONT="Courier New"]E: Failed to sysMapFile '/external_sd/6.21.605.3_M8_WL_M60_SENSE70_VZW_MR_FULL.zip[/FONT]

Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I can not flash

anything

. I get an error message similar to the one immediately above. Latest instance:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Update your Twrp for installing rom.

As for firmware, it is not flashed in recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ricarpe:
Thank you for the prompt reply!

I've been trying to update TWRP, both through the app and every other way I can think of, but nothing is working. I'm going to quit while I'm ahead... at the very least, my phone works.

It's after 10:30 p.m. and my alarm goes off in less than six hours, so I'm calling it a night.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ricarpe:
I wanted to give you a quick update on the continued weirdness that is installing your ROM.

During the course of the day I needed to charge my phone. I powered it down, plugged it in, and secured it in a drawer. When I returned about an hour or so later, I turned on the phone. After everything booted up, it started going through the loading process I would see on a reset. I let it go through and then had to do the whole set up process. I immediately checked the software information and see that I'm on your latest "debloated" version. I also checked TWRP and saw that it updated to 3.0.2.0. I have no idea how this happened, but I'll take it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jluva420:
Do I need to be on a stock rom to flash the firmware? For some reason I saw that it skipped sbl1 partition during install

I have been on Candy5 for a while and its pretty solid just has some lag when I first open google maps.

Every time I flash a mm rom it ends up being a battery pig.

Thanks for all the work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Being on a stock rom is not required.

Not every firmware update, Will update every possible partition.

Some partitions do not change with every update.

I try flashing the firmware and no go! always worked in the past.

I try flashing the stock debloated ROM with TWRP and it fails too!

Can anyone offer me any ideas?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Without more information, or a copy and paste of all of your terminal commands, I have no idea what is being done wrong while trying to flash the firmware.

As for the rom, it's flashed in Twrp, just like any other rom.

If it's failing, then your Twrp is likely out of date and needs updated.

Since the device is SOFF, OTA won't work you can flash lollipop RUU, but then again you have all the necessary files to flash a MM ROM, so it's better to flash a MM ROM.

help, no sim signal

Hey, i need some help here with my sim signal. Since i got Personal Argentina SIM card, system tells me (as always) my sim is not verizon. But this time, since i flashed the updated firmware, i get no signal. Phone doesn't detect sim at all.

What can i do with this? This was working fine as cleanROM 4.0 android 5.0.1.

BTF, flashed with this steps:

full wipe, (system, cache, data, internal and sd)

flashed updated firmware posted first page (the 6.21.605.3)

reflashed, this time with updated recovery TWRP3.0.1

flashed rom's zip

extracted boot.img, flashed at fastboot

rebooted and most everything works fine but this, no signal (no sim card detected)

Thank you
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
I wouldn't fastboot flash the Boot.Img after flashing the rom.

As the rom roots the boot.Img during install.

So I suggest reflashing the rom at this point.

No idea if that will solve your data issue or not, but that's where I suggest starting...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BryanNikson:
Would I also need to flash the firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MarcoIACI:
Well.. not working. :crying: I think it got something to do with the new updated firmware. Could i use some file from the 4.17.605.9? I don't know much about but i saw 3 files, 1 radio and 2 modem within the firmware zip. What if i change those from the old firmware to the new firmware? might that work?

edit: well.. sim card is detected but seems system takes it as invalid. I don't know what to do with that.. might google now

edit2: well (yup, well again..) After some very risky experimentation, discovered that the firmware is the one making me get no signal at all. I hope you may know what files got anything to with this. Rolled back to firmware 4.19.605.9 and now it works, i get signal. I don't know yet but, might have something to the files i mentions early? (modem 1, 2 and radio)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Uz986:

Just wanted to say thanks very much for finally getting the debloated version up here Santod.

I've been running your debloat lollipop for the past year or so and it has been solid.

I just finished flashing the firmware and the ROM, and no problems so far - though I'm still in my initial reboot stage so thought I would take the time to come and say thanks.

I've got one question on terminology that I can't find a direct answer to. What exactly is the definition of "Nusense" is that just a term you use for a modded Sense UI, or is there some specific meaning/origin to ROMs that call themselves "Nusense" ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
Got one more question that I don't understand - probably not just on your ROM.

After I loaded and everything was ok...but I messed around with some stuff and decided to do a factory reset from the standard MM menu.

After the reboot, SuperSU didn't exist and the device was not rooted.

Why is this? Isn't SuperSU/root baked in? Is there a better way for me to do a reset? Or to restore root rather than reflash the whole ROM again?

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
SuperSu Apk lives in /data/app, so that it's actually systemless. , a factory reset, wipes /data /app

Reflash SuperSu v2.78SR1 zip to get it back...or reflash the rom, your choice.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Uz986:
i just flashed this rom and after creating dalvik cache of rom...it says 1% battery and turn my phone off...but if am on twrp its 50%......anyidea why its happening?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Old outdated firmware....?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Uz986:
i think so because i updated from kitkat to viperone8 rom...

so can you tell me which firmware should i flash?and its flash from fastboot

edit:m8vzw_AllInOne_Firmware_6.21.605.3 is this one should i flash?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Yes
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TraderJack:
I've updated to NuSense_of_Stock_M8vzw_6.21.605.3_Debloated and I just don't like it.

No offense to santod - I'm sure this release is fine and my complaints likely have to do with Marshmallow in general.

I just find it slow in a variety of ways (task switching, waking up from off screen, adjusting for brightness, etc). Various things that I didn't notice as problems in previous versions.

I think I would like to revert to 4.17.605.9_M8_WL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Debloated. I applied the Combined MM Firmware Zip to update, can I just apply the Combined Lollipop Firmware Zip in the same way to revert?

And/or is it harmful/beneficial to keep the newer firmware?

Thanks.

is there a way to install the rom on stock S-ON 4.4.4 or do i have to use sunshine to S-off and twrp
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Twrp is required for anything other then an RUU.

So, no, you can't use this while stock/s-on unless you somehow unlocked the bootloader while remaining s-on.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Xlordvk:
No, don't flash any firmware that too the verizon one, because your device isn't verizon it's actually LRA, if you flash a Verizon RUU, you'll endup messing up radio, hence you won't get signals. The best way is to unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP & flash a stock based Marshmallow rom such as ViperOnem8, Leedroid, JW rom etc from international m8 development thread. Just select International Variant when installing a rom in aroma.

If you still wanna flash lollipop RUU then follow this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66044439&postcount=37

Note :- Not all stock based roms will work for you but above mentioned will definitely work, however all the source built roms such as CM, RR , Beanstalk (at first boot you'll have yellowish display, just go to setting>Display & turnoff live display )etc will work, all GPE roms will also work ( Personally Tested), only thing is you have to do is download from international m8 thread not from verizon thread.

Battery Dies at 20% +/- and phone scrambles

I have been using this ROM since conception and it is great!.

I am now having a problem with my 2 Year Old plus M8 when the battery gets to about 23% and i use an app (Camera, video, mta ticket, etc) it dies, and scrambles my data. When i can get it to reboot, it has all major processes force close (sense home, music, etc) have to do full data wipe and reload the ROM.

This has happened 3 times this month.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Back in the old days there was a battery stats wipe. Does this still apply to the new stuff? Just thinking out loud????

Please share your experience if this has happened to you???

the ROM is excellent, the OLD Phone is the problem, but still love the HTC...

there's a thread about it on reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/htcone/com..._forgets_my_settings/?st=iwdso85e&sh=93e27ae4

they say do a 3 fingered power on for a full 3 minutes to recalibrate the battery. Some have said that doesn't last...

I put mine to what I was confident in by installing santod's debloated ROM, but I couldn't care less about any VZW stuff I lost. Did not lose data.
