Updated to Marshmallow

Post #1 (ROM) and #2 (FIRMWARE) Updated!

6.21.605.3

-Stock Rooted-

Android 6.0 Marshmallow

Would have posted these sooner, but have been out of town on business all week.

I know some of this stuff(firmware/RUU) have already been posted elsewhere, but I wanted to keep this thread updated regardless.

I will probably get the debloated stock rom uploaded tomorrow.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ms_Trishlee:
Hi,

If I may ask, will the debloated stock rom for MM share the some/same modifications as the previous release like with powersaver, fm radio, no verizon splash screen and all other stuffs? Btw thanks

I forgot what to do , do I just flash the rom ? Or do I need the firmware also ? Or is the firmware included in the rom

:D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ty07allstar:
You need to flash them separate. Doesn't matter which one you flash first. Use the firmware that says "no boot, no recovery."

FM RADIO!!?!?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silvania34:
Stuck in bootloop. I had NuSenSeveN Marshmallow installed and I updated to firmware 6.21.605.3 with TWRP 3.0.0 with no problems. I then made a Nandroid backup before installing Debloated stock version. It booted up fine but then I decided to install the new Pure Stock 6.21.605.3 ROM and that's where the issues occured. Ever since then, anything I try to boot up (the backup or any ROM I sideload) is bootlooping. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Fixed it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dbrits:
Thanks, santod.

I already installed the MM update and firmware, and I'm wondering if this ROM has removed the Boomsound and WiFi nags from the notification drawer. It'll be worth a dirty flash if I can get rid of those. :)

Hello, I am interested in flashing the debloated ROM along with the latest firmware to update my phone. I am currently unlocked/S-OFF, rooted with SuperSU, and running stock Verizon 5.0.1. I also have TWRP 3.0.0-0 installed. The issue is that my phone is encrypted, both phone and sdcard (my job requires this, not my choice). How would I go about flashing rom and firmware? I am not opposed wiping/reformatting, but I don't want to brick my phone by doing something wrong.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Nevermind. I figured it out.

Thank you very kindly, could definitely use the donation/a few drinks lately.

I have full coverage, so the vandalism is covered in a sense, although no amount of body work and paint is as good as factory, like it was when I bought it brand spankin new 8 short months ago.

Unfortunately, my deductible is still a $1,000.00, which I can't really spare right now either.

Especially for something uncalled for such as this.

But life goes on...

Thanks again for your generosity, it truly is very much appreciated. :good:

What are you all using to back up your phone/app data nowadays? I was using the HTC Backup/Sync on Lollipop, but it seems like HTC dropped that in Marshmallow now, as now the app says "phones running Android 6.0 Marshmallow can only restore saved backups. If you want to back up your phone, try Google's backup service in settings (linked)" which Google's backup sucks because most apps don't restore data properly after resetting your phone or clean installing a new ROM. Titanium was my goto before HTC backup, which I think has been pretty broken since Lollipop came out. So is there a decent app now that can back up all of your app data, settings, and text messages that works on Marshmallow?

Thanks in advance for any advice. :)

after fastboot of firmware the phone is stuck on the htc powered by android screen... IT wont shut down nor power on. just stuck on it..

Any ideas?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Which firmware zip?

What rom are you running?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Guttmann:
6.21.605.3_FULL_firmware.zip

Running stock kitkat, never had any OTA or firmware updates.

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Using the UP VOLUME + power button and then switching to DOWN VOLUME I managed to get to the fastboot

I actually tried to flash the firmware again, but got the same thing all over again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
There's where you went wrong.

FULL includes Sense Marshmallow boot.img, which is the kernel.

A Kitkat rom isn't going to boot with a Marshmallow kernel.

So either flash a Marshmallow rom, or fastboot flash the boot.img from whatever Kitkat rom you're running.

People should generally flash the one without the boot.img and stock recovery, or the one without boot.img and inclusion of Twrp.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Guttmann:
Thanks!

after flashing a ROM, now each time I try to boot the phone, it goes straight into fastboot....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
What rom?

You should really be matching your firmware with your software version.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Guttmann:
this one: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/rom-vzw-stock-gpe-5-1-lmy47o-h9-t3212413

I know, Im really sorry I even got into this :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Well, it always pays to do your homework first. :)

Not sure why you're flashing Marshmallow firmware when you were running a kitkat rom.

Now you're flashing a Lollipop rom....

You probably are missing some firmware, from jumping from KK to MM without updating between.

Try fastboot flashing the boot.img from the rom you're flashing.

If it were me, I would grab the all in one firmware zip I posted in post 2, from before our Marshmallow update and flash it.

Then I'd reflash MM firmware with Twrp included.

Then I'd personally flash a Marshmallow rom and if it didn't boot, I'd fastboot flash the boot.img.

Yeah, unfortunately you made this way more difficult then it is. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Guttmann:
I did install the all in one, and then again the MM one. again i tried installing the same ROM, but got the same result.

I tried typing fastboot flash boot.img, but it gave me the following error: "Unknown partition 'boot.img', error: connot determ,ine image filename for 'boot.img'

Hey santod040 on the Stock Rooted Rom Boomsound is grayed out, can't be toggled even when headphones is plugged in. You know what is causing this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bwthor20:
Help Please...I get to the Setup Wizard screen, then my phone powers off.

I was on S-ROM previously, and tried moving to this ROM. My flashing steps were as follows:

1. Rebooted to recovery TWRP 3.0.0.1 I think...

2. Wiped, then installed the ROM linked in Post #1

3. Rebooted to bootloader from TWRP, then flashed the Marshmallow firmware titled NoBoot-TWRP.

4. Rebooted after this, and it goes through the initial boot where it optimizes the apps, then got to the setup wizard screen and it shuts down and shows the charging screen.

I've tried flashing the NoBoot-NoRecovery firmware, and reflashed the ROM after wiping and seeing the same results. I'm sure I've missed a step, but not sure what I've done wrong.

Thanks!

Editing to add that I've done a restore of my previous ROM under TWRP and am up and running again. Will have to do some more reading and try again tomorrow.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
Root on Marshmallow, all rooted MM m8 and m9 roms are like that.

Flash permissive zip is the only work around I know of.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silvania34:
For anyone having trouble with bootloops or restarts after the optimization of apps and if you don't mind having your internal storage wiped this is what worked for me:

-First, make sure you're S-OFF and install the m8vzw_AllInOne_Firmware in Santod's post#2 using his instructions

-Second, I went to this thread by dottat: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972 and downloaded the custom RUU from the link under (Custom s-off only RUU (includes TWRP, has amazon apps removed+htc speak+OTA updater removed) and renamed it 0P6BIMG.zip

REMEMBER THIS NEXT STEP WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE AND YOU MUST BE S-OFF!!! So backup anything important. I used the file manager in TWRP to transfer anything I needed to my sdcard.

Next, put phone on fastboot and follow these steps:

1. fastboot oem rebootRUU

2. fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip

NOTE: You'll see the HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output completes it may say reboot required to flush, or failed... If that's the case issue a "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again and it should do it successfully.

3. Finish by inputing “fastboot reboot” in terminal

4. This should allow your phone to boot up stock and with updated marshmallow firmware but without root, which we'll get in the next step.

5. Download Santod's Stock Rooted ROM "6.21.605.3_M8_WL_M60_SENSE70_VZW_MR_Full" in first post and flash in TWRP. That should give you root and everything should be working. :good:

Santod, if I did anything wrong or this is the wrong place to post it, feel free to remove it. I just thought sharing what helped me would be helpful. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bwthor20:
Hey thanks for the suggestions. and for what its worth, installing Dottat's RUU was my plan of attack today so at least I was on the right track.

What is the difference between the three Marshmallow firmware links in the 2nd post?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silvania34:
The first two don't wipe memory. The first one updates firmware and installs the latest TWRP recovery. Second one only updates the firmware and nothing else. The third option updates firmware but it WILL WIPE your memory and flashes stock recovery & boot.img.

I used Dottat's Custom Marshmallow Firmware Files to get me to Marshmallow about a week or two ago. Then, last night, I flashed Santod's ROM file from the 1st post in this thread.

I was hoping I would be able to regain Mobile Hotspot by using Santod's ROM. However, I still can't use it. It's it because Dottat did not have it working in his firmware files?

What would be the easiest way for me to gain Mobile Hotspot?

Also, apparently, Titanium Backup Pro can not write to my SD card? I'd this a known issue with Marshmallow and TBPro? Or, is this a ROM issue? Or maybe it's just my phone. I have a feeling this issue is also the reason My Backup Pro crashes once I open it.
