[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leronlb33:
According to a few people i spoke with the root for verizon s5 can only accept TW roms. And to clear up anything that doesnt make sense. my verizon s5 will not get any service with tmobile or metro. Works fine with att. So i decided to root. After rooting still no luck. However, before I rooted I was getting no bars at all. After rooting I was actually getting service bars but still would not get any actual service. I tried every APN setting I could find and still no luck. Thats all. I will try your advice as far as flashing the tar.md5 and let you know.

There was a bootloader unlock exploit released - it allows any rom to be flashed. It's been in the top development posts for weeks. Go check that out, and you can flash cyanogenmod.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobstradamus:
I actually am in a similiar situation except I am already on CM13 using a previously Verizon S5, I just started Tmobile service yesterday and in general I can make calls but data is rather inconsistent. Example right now when I make it call it falls down to 3g (Normal) but when I disconnect it tries to connect to H+ then 3G but all of them don't supply it data so it just swaps around 3G LTE and H+ and I have to airplane mode on/off to fix it. So this person may still have issues using CM13. I did already go over the APN information with people from TMobile and from post around the web. Does anyone think that flashing the Tmobile s5 modem stuff will fix this?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buschris:
you just need to get the correct APN settings
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leronlb33:
I've tried the correct son settings. It didn't work. I used the settings found online for T-Mobile. I called T-Mobile. Non of the settings worked. I flashed back the the stock rom. No joy. flashed a verizon s5 rom again. No joy. I am starting to think that this is the only verizon s5 that won't allow t to register on T-Mobile's network.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanthanide:
As per the headline, I've got an HTC M8 that I rooted shortly after purchasing in 2014. When the Lollipop OTA upgrades came out, I was reading mixed reviews about battery life and system performance, so I used a quarantine app to freeze the auto-update app so that it would stop bothering me to upgrade all the time. Now that Marshmallow has been out for a few months, the reviews seem positive and say that battery life is improved and the device is just as responsive as it used to be, so now I want to upgrade my device to Marshmallow.

I'm more or less an android / phone newbie - I mainly just use my phone for email, web browsing, driving directions, taking photos and the occasional app like banking, I'm not into heavy customisation but would like to retain root for the ability to uninstall shovel-ware, freeze programs and so some minor customizations.

Anyway, since I have 4.4.3 Android rooted, which process should I follow to get Marshmallow rooted, while retaining all the current data on my phone (apps, phone contacts, etc)? Do I need to do an OTA upgrade to Lollipop, and from there do an upgrade to Marshmallow?

My phone is an unlocked HTC M8; it's not a GPE or other branded vendor phone. I live in New Zealand and I bought it parallel imported, I think it was originally from Hong Kong.

I already have some of the bootloader/recovery stuff sorted out from when I rooted it the first time. Going into bootloader this is what prints out for me:

If I select recovery, then I get a recovery menu, and the version at the top is: Team Win Recovery Project v2.7.0.2
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jongla:
Please upgrade your firmware first through RUU to flash other ROMs.

[Edited]
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanthanide:
Would this be the same as stock OTA?

Also wouldn't flashing a ROM destroy all my apps and data?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jongla:
No the ROM won't be same as stock OTA,there are more or less modification in every ROM.The way you can exactly stock update by flashing RUU.

And yes all your apps and data will be wiped.Why don't you try titanium backup?you can backup all apps and app data with it.

MM ROMs won't work properly with his old firmware. He will lose wifi, among other issues he will face. Updating his firmware is a MUST before he flashes a Marshmallow ROM
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jongla:
Sorry for the wrong infos.

I flashed other mm ROMs over lollipop firmware everything's working fine.

But just got to know about firmware upgrade myself an hour ago.

Sorry again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
First off, you need to update your recovery. Go with TWRP 2.8.7.0 or higher.

Secondly, you can update and keep all of your data. Make a nandroid backup with your new recovery, then run the appropriate RUU to update, or go back to complete stock and take the OTAs that will get downloaded to your phone, then restore your nandroid. The new firmware won't get overwritten by restoring your backup. That partition isn't included in the backups.

Hook up your phone to your PC, get into fastboot, and enter the command fastboot getvar all. Post the results here (minus your IMEI & serial# ~ that's private info) and I or someone else here will direct you on the easiest way for you to update.

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

Yeah, MM ROMs will work with Lollipop firmware, but not with KitKat like the OP has.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanthanide:
Is nandroid part of the recovery?

What is an RUU?

This implies that if I unfroze the OTA updater on my current software and let it simply upgrade, that it wouldn't work properly? So either way I have to "run the appropriate RUU", OR re-flash a stock 4.4.3 image and then do OTA upgrades on that?

Here's the getvar all output:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanthanide:
Bump.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No, a nandroid is a backup that is

made by

recovery (TWRP). It can back up the stock ROM, and user data (which is the goal in the above posted suggestion). After you update, you can restore the user data (but you don't want to restore the old ROM, since the goal is to get to MM - that part wasn't clear in the previous post).

RUU = ROM Update Utility

Its an official HTC tool that completely updates or restores the stock image.

Since you rooted, you can't simply unfreeze the updater and OTA.

OTA requires restoring the stock ROM (

never

rooted, unrooting does not work) and stock recovery (you have TWRP now, which is a

custom

recovery). RUU is an easy way to restore the whole phone to stock condition.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanthanide:
Ok, so if I'm understanding this correctly:

* To use the OTA updates, I need to have a stock ROM, as well as a stock recovery (not TWRP)

* I can make a nandroid backup of user data in TWRP, and then use RUU to go back to a completely stock phone

* From there I can do OTA upgrades to get up to MM

* Then I can install the TWRP recovery and restore my user data

Another approach might be:

* Backup the user data using TWRP

* Use an appropriate RUU, or series of RUU's, to upgrade to MM, without using any OTA updates at all

* Restore user data

It seems like path 2 would be easier and less risky of making a mistake. So what RUU's do I need? The output of "getvar all" is available a few posts up.

Also is there an easy guide somewhere for how to upgrade to a newer version of TWRP?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, path 2 (RUU) would be easier in your case. But unfortunately, I don't think you version has RUU. You'd be looking for an RUU for 6.12.709.4

That being the case, you need to resort to path 1 (return to stock and OTA updates).

Fastboot install method is simple and reliable. Instructions and TWRP files here: https://twrp.me/devices/htconem8gsm.html

Since you already have fastboot working, just put the TWRP .img file in the same folder as wherever fastboot.exe is located, then connect the phone, and run the command:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanthanide:
Right, I've just sat down to try and do this, and realised that I'm still not clear on what I actually need to do.

It seems there is no RUU for my phone for MM, which would be RUU for 6.12.709.4.

So instead I need any RUU that suits my phone for Kitkat or Lollipop, and then do OTA upgrades from there? So what RUU versions should I be looking for, since 6.12.709.4 does not exist?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
There is no RUU for your device version. You can only restore to stock ROM and do OTAs up to the latest.

Your main mistake (I remember you have the same problem before) is restore your backup data after OTA done. Restoring old data that removed your apps like calculator & flashlight.

What you need to do (correctly):

1. Don't use that TWRP 2.7.0.2 .. install 2.8.10 or 2.8.3.0

2. Make a TWRP backup of your current data/system/boot

3. Restore non-rooted backup 2.22.709.3 (boot and system only - use your current data)

4. Install 2.22.709.3 stock recovery

5. Do multiple OTAs up to the latest 6.20.709.2

You'll upgrade your ROM and firmware but still have all your data intact.

All files needed are here : http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

If you happen to wipe all data & system before restore 2.22.709.3 (as per step 3), you can restore data only from your own backup before step 4 ... remember to restore your own data before OTA, not after OTA (if not you'll have your old problem again)

With latest firmware (G930FXXU1APD1-G930FDBT1APC5-DBT) Im having problems when unlocking the device with fingerprint. It does not allow me, but instead I get:

“Enter pin instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy”

And I have to use the PIN.

This happens when locking the display with “lock wedged”. If the lock is made with button (power) ... or time out display. Then I can normally use the fingerprint.
