Yes. The XML edit and even a flashable zip have been posted multiple times throughout the thread. I'm mobile or I would point you to it but it's a very easy edit to make.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] chris98891:
Thanks for the response/all the work. I found the XML list, and changed the tethering specific from VERIZON to NONE, but I still get the prompt. The linked flashable zip is no longer on the server unfortunately.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Change tether guard from true to false and tether rule from 1 to 0.

The first time you open it you will get the notice. Check the box to never see again and carry on.

I've been days trying to understand why I wasn't getting anywhere!

By the way- would you have a link that explains step by step how to do the ADB route? I've been searching, but anything newer than 2013 presumes prior knowledge that I don't have, and being on MM I don't trust anything that old. I have been looking, but I haven't found it yet...

I have been trying to get HTC fastboot to work. I have minimal fastboot and adb installed, works fine. I unzipped the HTC fastboot into a folder. When I open a command prompt and enter commands, I just get responses that the commands are not recognized. Obviously I'm doing something wrong with the install, but I don't know what. Any suggestions?

In the new folder click anywhere there's not an icon. Hold shift and right click and select open cmd prompt here. Now run commands. Make sure any file you want to flash is in this folder too.

Had a hard time trying to remove Play Music

My classic tools for working on system apps didnt work very well on this new marshmallow version. I wanted to remove Play music and replace it with an older version that still allows instant mix. I did a lot of reading and spent a lot of hours trying to understand why Titanium Backup and Es File Explorer would not remove the system app. It would remove it but then on reboot it would come back. I guess this is a marshmallow systemless problem or whatever. I also tried suggestions deleting the app in TWRP, but I got errors there too. Perhaps that method I was missing a command, but I then spent a long time trying to figure out how to do it thru TWRP (3.0) and still did not find it and I did make system writeable.....

Anyway, I finally found Root Browser (free) and that was able to successfully wipe or rename the app. I guess Titanium and ES have not updated to be able to work on system properly. Anyway, went back to Play Music 5.5 and then 5.7 and instant mix is back and no horrible radio BS. Just thought I would post this because it is the only thing that worked after reading everything in the thread. I would suggest that it gets put on the first page for anyone looking to remove or modify system apps easily.

Thanks for everything else, rom works great, Im using the RUU version flashed with TWRP

If I flash the S-Off Rooted Debloated RUU in the first post will that give me / does that RW system capability?

I'm currently on the stock rooted MM rom from sontod040 and I can't get full access to my system partition.

What I'm trying to do is re implement all my sound settings like HK audio and the visuals and power saver etc that I had in my Rooted stock Lollipop.

I cant get this command to work in adb shell: > settings put secure hide_ui_user_powersaver 0

It tells me that it is read only.

I can change the xml files and I can see the powersaver button in quick settings but I don't see it in settings. I thought there was something in the Power Settings menu pertaining to powersaver but I only see extreme powersaver.

I tried flashing insecure adb, a new wp_mod, and an insecure kernel, all of which booted and worked but still can unhide the menu item for powersaver.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You simply need to open a shell prompt. Su for elevated access and run the cmd to mount system as rw. It will not mount as rw by default. System typically is not kept rw either. Any rooted rom is capable of rw.

Even es file explorer doesn't mount system as rw until you specifically add root browser function and then specify that system is mounted rw.

Flashing everything you have flashed so far is not going to help you until you understand the process.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mc_365:
When I say it is read only I meant after each one of those things I flashed I tried in adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

> settings put secure hide_ui_user_powersaver 0

and it tells me it's read only.

What am I missing?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
When I'm not mobile I can look at my notes for mounting as rw.

When you are in shell and run a df command it will show you mount points.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mc_365:
I got it to go.

Maybe I hadn't restarted adb with root privileges.

so I started chainfires app "adb insecure"

then I ran in adb:

adb kill-server

adb root (no message this time)

adb shell

> settings put secure hide_ui_user_powersaver 0

maybe chainfires app finally got it to work because previously when I ran:

adb root

I got a message saying something to the effect of "adb can not be run as root in production mode."

This was in spite of apps saying system was mounted rw, and being able to change the xml files using esfile text editor.

I might try to back track and uninstall some apps to see if I can figure out precisely what my issue was.

Thanks for responding.:good::good:D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 4Incredible:
I apologize if what I am asking are simple questions, but I haven't been into the whole modding scene in a while and I am a little confused at the moment.

My phone is completely stock and still running Lollipop. I have not installed either of the two Marshmallow OTAs from Verizon.

I am going to unlock/s-off with Sunshine while I am still on Lollipop because SunShine doesn't support the Verizon Marshmallow update yet (source).

Since I now have to update the firmware myself, I just want confirmation as to which zip I need to flash.

I would like to keep my stock lollipop rom for the moment so I can backup all my apps.

I am also going to manually flash TWRP 3.0 after I unlock/s-off so that will already be installed before I get to updating my firmware.

Based on this, I read that I should flash the

No boot or recovery custom firmware zip

(the fourth link in the OP). I plan to flash it with hboot.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Why update the firmware and not the rom though? But otherwise yes get s-off while you can.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 4Incredible:
Well, I am going to move over to a custom Marshmallow rom. I am thinking enewman17's GPE Marshmallow rom.

I want to leave the stock rom alone so I can backup all my apps and their settings and data with Titanium so I can just reinstall everything in the new rom.

My main question was whether the zip I previously mentioned was the correct one to just update the firmware and not touch the rom or recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Yes that is the right one when you are ready to flash the custom rom.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
dumb question.. Trying to download the firmware only, no boot no recovery. I rename the file to 0P6BIMG.zip, but where do I put it? on the phone? on my computer? Last time I used fast boot/adb was when I rooted the phone in the first place, and I got it close to launch, so it's been like 2 years I think. I'm kind of out of the loop.

Also, will I lose root when I do this? I'm running Venom ROM and am trying to update it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] garywojdan81:
Once you've renamed it, move it to the root directory of your SD card. Then you can flash it thru hboot. Or you can use fastboot from your computer if you prefer, if you do though, you'll have to put the file on your computer in the same folder as your adb or HTC_fastboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] carm01:
I scoured that thread and the closet thing i seen was the mms resolution fix thing. I really could not find anything related to sms fails to send asks for permission to resend or something along those lines.

So maybe I just have a screwed up phone but...I have installed it before and now I cannot through twrp. Any ideas folks?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ieatabiscuit:
Perhaps a bad DL of the SU zip? If it's installing from an SD card, perhaps try a different one; or if from internal memory on MM, make sure TWRP is up to date for the sake of understanding the new partitions?

*UPDATE*

Something else I discovered on multiple devices is that when TWRP starts acting fishy like yous seems to be now, I put the SD card into my PC, and reformat it to default settings, and things go back to normal. I just installed everything from scratch just to see if I could reproduce the problem with no success. Everything installed like clockwork for me.

Hi dottat ,

It's been almost two years since i did any flashing/rooting on my HTC one m8.

I did weak sauce app to root my device as soon as it came out to enable free tethering and didn't do anything since then .

So I'm still on 4.4.2 . (screenshot attached for detailed specs )

So what I'm trying to do right now is upgrade to marshmallow stock ROM (debloated would be nice but not necessary) without losing my root and s -off .

Am I in the right thread ? If so what files should I download ?

Could I skip the lollipop update and jump straight to MM ?

What about the firmware update ?

Marshmallow ,root and free tethering all I care about .

And since I don't have home wifi and my phone is the only source of Internet I gotta do everything right from the start . Can't afford to screw this one up :/

So I would really appreciate your help !

Thanks in advance !
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
Any chance you could upload ONLY the radio (for hboot flashing)? I tried doing this and now I get no data AT ALL. I screwed something up bad.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You tried the stock recovery reset already? Just flash the no boot no recovery firmware zip as it has radio.

If you edited any of the nvram settings it simply reflashing the radio might not do it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
I managed to refresh with your suggestion. Still no data ;_;

What is this nvram you're talking about? I don't think I touched that stuff, but I am pretty much willing to do anything at this point.

edit: I looked into it. I tried using qxdm to fix my issues. A lot of the values that were "supposedly" default (from other people's information) were not the values on my phone. I tried to input the defaults and it didn't fix anything. For now, I'm going to try flashing the "Custom s-off only RUU"
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
*deleted*
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
You must RUU and fully boot prior to Rooting, TWRPing, and SUing. Then immediately boot into STOCK recovery and do a STOCK Factory Reset. After doing that you can move ahead and root and ROM.

I have also called VZW and had them do some magic on their end and got 4G back. They also sent me a new SIM and that didn't help at all.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
I am no longer with Verizon. I'm on T-mobile. So that's part of what makes my level of support so minimal.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
If I'm S-Off unlocked, I should be able to simply flash TWRP from hboot, right? After I go to stock everything and factory reset?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
Go to Post 1. The custom RUU's include TWRP. In other scenarios, I fastboot flash it but now flash .img updates from within TWRP. A new featue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
none of that I want appears to be in post one. I just want an s-off unlocked RUU for 6.0 with stock everything (including the bloatware) so that I can do a stock factory reset. I wonder if it'd be good enough to use the custom s-off only ruu with stock mm recovery flashed over twrp after.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Why not flash the signed s-on one? It does NOT affect s status. You can flash it without losing anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:

Standalone firmware has cut boot times tremendously, even on gpe. Data seems snappier too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] carm01:
From initial start of RUU using bootloader method, to boot up is about 25 minutes. about five minutes to run the RUU, 5 minutes in the big red screen, and the other 15 for updating apps.

Had to install SU, and currently restoring some data, and removing some additional bloat as well.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
It's all written in great detail here but:

Read everything written by dottat, santod, and tigerstown.

Nothing here will allow you lose S-off unless you are DELIBERATELY trying to do so.

I'd do the dottat RUU 5.0.1, boot, boot into Bootloader and do a STOCK Factory Reset to fix any 4G issues. Then go Post 1 and pick your flavor. I went with Custom with TWRP followed by the SU there. You ill be on Rooted, TWRP'ed, almost stock Sense MM.

This the short version. Read, read, read.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MaK1e:
Thank you so much .I read the whole thread but I'm still confused :/

And which one is the dotted RUU 5.0.1 you referring to ? Would you be kind enough to quote or paste the download link ?

As I understand RUU has the firmware included already correct ?

And I could just jump from KitKat to Marshmallow skipping the Lollipop with no problem ?

Sorry for all these newbie questions just wanna make sure I'm doing everything correct .

Thank you !
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
Do these:

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

Will wipe internal storage !

Flash either by renaming zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and flashing from ext sd via hboot -or- flash via fastboot manually

Then simply flash supersu 2.65 attached to this post for root.

So I don't need to flash the firmware separately before/after RUU since it is already included there ?

And you think I should be fine upgrading from 4.4.2 to 6.0 skipping the 5.0 version ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schneid:
I think you want simple, so the above should get you there by way of the shortest path. If it doesn't work, try a longer harder route. An RUU is a total do-over. You can RUU over and over all day and nothing will break. People have been doing the 5.0.1RUU to fix 4G issues as it will allow a STOCK Factory Reset. If your 4G is fine now, go for the custom w TWRP Dottat RUU. His 5.0.1 is posted nearby. I imagine doing his totally stock MM RUU would fix stuff but then you have to wrangle with flashing TWRP too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
One of the Marshmallow RUU's includes TWRP. No wrangling needed. Flashing the RUU flashes the system and TWRP all at one time. I went this route directly from 4.4.4. Everything went smoothly and all is fine.
