[Verizon HTC One (M8)] carm01:
I am just going to offer some advice in here as i see people fiddling around with trying to apply the two OTAs and attempting to do the RUU fastboot method and running into to all kinds of issues b/c they are not following directions or being impatient.

I did the below method, and I came from NuSense 7 and it took me less than 30 minutes to successfully be up and running. ( minus backing up data. )

Save yourself some trouble and use this file under the OP in this thread:

Custom s-off only RUU (includes TWRP, has amazon apps removed+htc speak+OTA updater removed)

1) Download it, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip . Make sure your files extensions are showing on your PC . IF you don't know how to enable file extensions then google it!

2) Download that SU zip in the bottom of the OP

3) Backup the data on you INTERNAL SD card as it will be wiped! The external card WILL NOT BE WIPED! Save anything you might need that is on the physical device to an alternate location whatever that is. IF you want to use Titanium then use it.

4) Place the 0P6BIMG.zip on the ROOT of the EXTERNAL SD card aka removable card.

5) Place the SU zip on the root of the EXTERNAL SD card

6) Boot the phone into the bootloader

7) make sure the fastboot is highlighted then press the power button and the phone will start reading the 0P6BIMG.zip file

8) Wait, be patient it will take about 5 minutes to flash this in the bootloader and another 5 minutes sitting on the big red VZW screen and another 15 minutes waiting for the 216 apps to update, then it should go right into the ROM like most of you are use to.

9) you might be able to flash the SUzip before the first boot and it might be fine otherwise flash SU as you normally would do in TWRP after the first boot up as it is included in the 0P6BIMG.zip.

Total time less than 30 minutes, no issues what so ever trust me! Its gravy !

Cannot write to ext SD card

I can't seem to write to my external SD card. Is there a setting or something to flash? I was trying to export a file to card and it said something like "cannot write to SD card"
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Using what app? Did you check the permissions for that app? Also, most apps like ex file explorer will make you browse to the root of a directory before allowing writing to it.

Also, this app worked on kitkat and lollipop. You could make a nand and try it on mm.

[MENTION=7246343]flako72[/MENTION] Pretty easy to spot the problem there dontcha think?

Best part is it's an easy fix ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flako72:
easy?

easy? tell me how to get that:(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
OK...only if you promise to find and post an original facepalm gif that I've never seen before ?

Look at the file extension of the ruu zip on your picture.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] vacoray:
The app is called Pocket. It contains passwords and such. Used to be able to export a encrypted backup to ext SD card but now it wont.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ggiedd:
Got it loaded finally but now the Setup app is missing from the phone. Time to start over I guess. lol never had this much trouble before with such simple instructions.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Which flash option did you do?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flako72:
god

or double zip my God? I think you edit the wrong name
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yep...remove the extra .zip and get flashing!

Funny enough I had to edit your earlier post because you had an extra HTTP:// in your photo link so I couldn't see your pic until I edited it.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
That's odd. Wondering if it didn't flash all partitions. SD or fastboot?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ggiedd:
sd
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
With this phone a lot times the SD option required running twice.

My current firmware is 4.16..... . I tried a few marshmallow roms like skydragon. But wouldnt get Installed. So if I need to upgrade to mm, do I need to upgrade firmware first. Or is it the kernels problem that is not letting me write the rom?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Are you s off and unlocked? And what is 4.16?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flako72:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] v1ral:
Okay update on my device's status.

I flashed via Hboot and success!!

Well I made a noob mistake of copying the entire name +.zip I had to redo that part, after that it flashed without a hitch. I had to however rename the file to something different as I didn't have root at first*you need to do this to flash SU.

So for the people who having issues, the post I believe before this post has the correct no frills way to install/flash the RUU via Hboot/ADB, MAKE sure you name the files correctly.

Question for OP:

Is there a "remove red text" and "hide root" files out for the firmwares?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] arisch86:
Just wanted to say thanks dottat, the ruu worked and now running the latest update!

What MID and CID does your phone currently have? Your firmware version is not verizon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] oscarr123:
I am confused which to download . I basically know how to flash but could you please tell brief steps to install the marshmallow...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Not sure what exactly you are asking. If you want a single file that will upgrade your phone (but will wipe internal storage and data but not ext SD) use the RUU.

It has been spelled out how to upgrade MANY times in this thread and more requests like this will be ignored.

Guys- I don't appreciate having to personalize each and every response/problem when the same questions have already been posted and answered.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] vacoray:
Ok, I can confirm this SD card fix does not work with marshmallow.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
OK. Thanks.

I was just asking which is the files needed to download because previously I download a img file flashed it and went to boot looop....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
You're asking for specific answers, but you're not giving any specific info about your situation. You said you had done some flashing but not enough to know how to accomplish this update.

Here's some steps to try:

1. Read the whole thread(s) about what you want to accomplish. Every post. Then reread the original post/instructions from the developer. If you've got time to post & play around, then you've got time to read.

2. Research what works for your specific device (carrier specific details).

3. Be prepared to recover when something goes sideways (it will).

4. Learn from yours and others mistakes.

5. Asking for help is fine, but don't expect hand holding. No one has time for that.

Not trying to be a jerk, but you need to know these things to move forward w/o having people jump all over you.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Hand full of Peter:
Read Post #128 It spells out the steps very clearly. I think it's page 13 of the posts. I followed each step and it worked perfectly!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M-FayeHTC:
I'm a noob & have had to be rescued a few times so i'm no expert BUT just taking a stab at this doesn't that link say "AT&T"??

Btw: I haven't gotten to personally install anything yet I thought the OTA update was a security update AND luckily have avoided installing? So, I can't say for sure & don't mean to be smart, but it does seem as you're looking in the wrong place as DOTTAT said..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Nitinsaraf:
Can you please tell me what phone you are on.

If Verizon then please check if you have "Internet Pass Through" in settings>>more>>network sharing???

If yes then this is the option which is not available in New update (Marshmallow)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Hand full of Peter:
USB tethering, Mobile HotSpot via WIFI, and via Bluetooth are all listed, but must be subscribed to , as far as I can tell.

They usually get unlocked when the Roms start appearing, if available.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M-FayeHTC:
I'm on Verizon stock RUU latest version released by DOTTAT s-off *official* lollipop & I just quadrupled checked to the moon & back just for you** there is no INTERNET PASS THROUGH. What is your phone on? I think you are looking in the wrong place again. I would do what DOTTAT suggested originally if you're Verizon M8, go back to stock everything. Plain & simple my best advice do a factory reset. Maybe the option for that will come back, I do faintly recall a time when that was available, however, I cannot remember if it was from the EVO, Thunderbolt, M7, or if it was ever available on the M8!! I'm sorry about that. Also, have you tried the general help forum, I think you may just find your answer there possibly... Best of luck!

P.S. that's a very minor feature to be making such a fuss over, if you're up & running I say that's a good thing? I'm just saying

P.S.S... Many thanks to DOTTAT & all the others devs for all their patience with us noobs & supportive help when we get into a panicked pickle? I can already tell you I'll be posting here soon when I have the time to upload the files. SO TIA (I will post regardless on fingers crossed I have no issues!!

Go to Settings, and then under Wireless & networks, tap More.

Hi there, I'm coming from "NuSenSeveN v4.2" and already (successfully) installed this MM firmware.

Obviously, upgrades won't work for me, as I'm not in stock lollypop. So, if I wanted to move from my ROM to this original MM ROM, how could I do it? Should I take the "stock unrooted nand" (from the fist page) and flash it?

Thanks for your help & patiente ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
She said lollipop in her first sentence. Here's a thing: call Verizon support and see if that feature has ever been, or still is, available.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Well, the rom you're on is mm sense 7 already so you want be gaining anything by going to the stock Verizon rom. But, if you want to, seeing as your firmware is updated, flashing the nand backup from dottat, then flashing a supersu zip before you boot up would be the way I would do it. You'll have to clean flash it, but at least your internal won't be wiped.

If you're feeling froggy, you could always back up your current rom, follow the above, then restore just your data partition and see if that works.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Duwie_80:
I know it wont make a big diference but I'm noticing some lags and I would like to give this ROM a try.

Ok, thanks for your help. I'll make a complete backup and then I'll try in two steps, first one just installing nand backup (and supersu), second restoring data. That way I'll know what goes wrong if something does...

Thank you a lot :good:

----------------------------------------------------Update--------------------------------------------------------

Error installing the zip:

"Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary/ in the zip file. Error installing the file" :(

----------------------------------------------------Update 2------------------------------------------------------

That error is because I was trying to install it zipped. While you install zipped files from recovery, it is not possible to restore them zipped, it is necessary to unzip. Second try...

----------------------------------------------------Update 3------------------------------------------------------

First attemp succeded: I could restore unzipped nandroid backup from first page.

Now I'm trying to restore "data" from my backupped previous ROM (it was MM too)...

----------------------------------------------------Final Update---------------------------------------------------

:) Everything is up and running!! Thanks a lot, garywojdan81!! :good:

Internet Pass-Through gone in Marshmallow

[MENTION=4654598]Nitinsaraf[/MENTION] it looks like Internet pass-through did exist in earlier versions of Android on Verizon HTC M8, but for whatever reason it has been dropped in Marshmallow, at least according to two forum members on Android Central's forum (search for "verizon htc m8 internet pass through" and click on the link "Internet pass-through disabled on Marshmallow?" The forum won't let me post a link :crying:). I can confirm that I do not see these feature present in the settings that you mentioned on this Marshmallow software.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

EDIT: as was pointed out to me, the hboot image in the thread I reference has not been updated to Marshmallow yet, so it is ill advised to use the lollipop one listed on the Marshmallow ROM.

ORIGINAL:

For those of you that want to remove the red text from the boot screen, search the forum for "★ ☆ [MOD] Remove Red Text on Splash Screen | m8 hboots | ALL Variants | MM" (Some day I'll be a big boy and be able to post links in the forum) and find two solutions.

EDIT:

Ok it's called Live TV not T-Mobile TV. It wasn't on my phone until today. My coworker looked on his phone and it is on his phone too, and it wasn't there before.

Pretty alarming, and at least we can uninstall it, but makes you wonder what they can do in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] crawldit:
It was on my phone from first boot. I actually subscribe to Sling TV so the discount was a nice little bonus. I've since deleted the app but I want to say it was like 30% off for a year? They applied the discount to my existing sling account like Netflix does with their promotion.

Same as you. Mine didn't come with the sling tv app, but it showed up on my phone today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Tidbits:
I want to find out what is doing that so I can disable/uninstall it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] crawldit:
That's so weird that some people are having it pop up today. I was part of the first batch of people to get their s7e last Monday and it was already installed. I've since disabled everything t-mobile using package disabler pro. Maybe if I hadn't I would have seen it pop back up today? I dunno.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Tidbits:
I had mine since Tuesday and I didn't see that icon. I did disable majority of the T-mobile apps, and a few Samsung ones. First time I saw that app today. Maybe you would have seen it or maybe it was downloaded correctly during setup, but didn't for some of us and why it showed up now for some of us. Hard to say.

My SSD went tits up, so I had to buy another. Instead of getting a 32GB one to replace the stock 32GB one that broke, I upgraded to a 64GB SSD... But now when I open up the file explorer, and hit menu, it shows that I only have 46GB available. I don't have very many apps. Wondering where that 18GBs went. Any ideas? I have an Acer C720P.

[Chromebooks] draiko913:
I put a 128 GB ssd in my Acer Chrombook 15. Keep in mind that I have Crouton installed to run Linux along with Android Studio. That leaves me about 90 GB left over.
[Chromebooks] Gabriel Brangers:
Chrome OS takes up a little over 4GB before any offline apps or Ubuntu.
[Chromebooks] Robo-rooter:
Most Chromebooks/Chromeboxes come with a 16gb SSD. Chrome OS seems to reserve about half of that for system use (8gb) leaving about 8gb for local personal file storage.

If a larger SSD is added (say 32gb) will Chrome OS reserve more for itself? I switched from a 16gb to a 32gb SSD on my Dell 3010 Chromebox and my personal local storage available space went from 8gb to 22gb.

Chrome OS didn't seem to reserve more storage for system use, but if it needed more space in the future, would it expand its space beyond 8gb or would it try to limp along on 8gb? I would hope it would take more storage if it needed it.

Relocked

S-On

now re running the RUU from normal bootup, it does its thing, restarts goes into RUU mode, and then when its tying to push, it fails again with a 155 error, I'm at a loss, please help me

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
So, i havent been modding Android phones in a long time and when I wanted to flash MM on my Z5, i forgot that i dont have the Z5 drivers. Now, based on what i know, i did have SONY PC COMPANION installed prior to soft bricking my device, so i would assume the drivers are installed. My current situation is as follows:

-Device wont turn on, switches between RED/GREEN led with error message of "update failed, please connect to PC etc..."

-Sony pc companion doesnt seem to recognize the phone as i cant repair it

-Cannot flash FTF through as it keeps failing to flash at different points, do not know if not having the Z5 drivers play a factor here. I got the drivers from there but i do not know what to do with it as it is not .exe file, i also have the latest flashtool installed.

-I backed up my files prior to this, so i am willing to wipe everything.

Thank you, i would appreciate if i can get some assistant on this. Stupid me for making this mistake in the first place.

Thank you guys for the quick responses, I managed to reflash the .200 through flashtool without any hiccups. which is weird that it didn't work for .163 earlier. I didn't wipe anything, so after flashing .200 i updated the SDK stuff from Google SDK.exe which i think it solved some, from there I flashed .163 (MM) again and it worked. Kept all data intact, even my encrypted Class 10 SD card worked without any issues. So far so good, haven't really encountered any errors, fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: once again thank you for the quick responses.
