[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NWTSCL:
Interesting. Must be a Pixel thing, because my 6P with Nougat decrypts before boot. And I don't notice a delay on the Pixel
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cmhjr:
I have Fingerprint and 8 digit pin and when my phone starts I have to enter Pin before phone to decrypts.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NWTSCL:
Just to be clear, do you mean at power up, or after Android starts?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
I'm looking for an answer to this as well.

On my 6P when booting it would load to a point then stop, ask for pin, then after that would start android. On my Pixel it loads all the way to the lockscreen, then asks for pin.

Question is, is this the same thing???
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Belimawr:
I would assume so since a lot of the features don't work until that first pin is put in, like you will never be on wifi or data until that first PIN is entered, so I would assume it has changed so if your phone restarts for any reason you don't miss a call, but it locks you out of most other things until a PIN is entered. also likely the reason you can't use a fingerprint on startup since it is likely still encrypted.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jj14:
On Nexus 6p / Nexus 6, it boots to a point, and asks for a pin, and then continues loading the OS.

On Pixel, it looks like it skips the initial pin entry (before loading the OS) - but it won't let you use the fingerprint to log in. It will ask you to enter the pin after a cold boot. So, in other words, after power off, when you press the power button, you'll see the "Google" logo (on an insanely bright screen), then, the 4 animated dots, and then you get to the pin entry screen. At this point, you will need to enter the pin and it will almost instantly show you your homescreen. Now, if you press power off (to go to standby), and then power on, you'll see the pin entry screen again - but this time, your fingerprint will get you in.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NWTSCL:
I'm finding that I can connect and disconnect from all networks (wifi, LTE, bluetooth, hotspot enable) without ever entering that PIN.

Decrypting after boot has me a bit concerned, because obviously some things would not be encrypted.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cmhjr:
Sorry and accept my apologies but you are correct.

I just tested it on my phone and did not request Pin, I was confusing it with my Nexus 6 which I was factory resetting at the same time I was setting up my Pixel.

I just completed a support chat to check. The encryption is different on the Pixel with 7.1 and secure startup was removed.

On previous Nexuses it may still have it because it's encryption was whole disk but the Pixel is using a different method.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NWTSCL:
This is troubling. The Pixel will automatically connect to any open wifi that it has connected to previously. Think of what will happen if someone nearby is using something like the wifi pineapple.

And without whole encryption, how can anyone trust that the sensitive data we want to be secure really is?

Apparently Google and the Pixel team lost their thinking cap.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cmhjr:
It was a pain in the support chat to get them to understand Secure Startup because they kept confusion it with Sim Lock or Pin/Password Lock until I finally had them understand Startup Pin blocked Android.

I started checking online after chat about Pixel Encryption and it seems to be file level and maybe App specific (API for developers). But just started checking.

Also checking up on wifi assistant security because I avoid open wifi because of your same worries.

Just received this from Google support, secure startup may return.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NWTSCL:
I wonder if they said that just to keep you from returning your phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cmhjr:
Not sure but they removed double tap to wake before the Pixel released and allegedly that is going to be released in a future update.

There is no telling what features of Android were removed before the release because they were not working properly and plan to reintroduced in future updates.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] romracer:
It's called file based encryption. On your 6P, the entire data partition is encrypted so to boot you must enter your PIN, pattern, etc or the phone won't even know basics like being able to read (or rebuild) the Dalvik cache.

On the Pixels, they are using file based encryption so each file on the data partition can be encrypted, or not, individually. This has numerous advantages like allowing the phone to boot with no password, since the Dalvik cache doesn't have to be encrypted. Or allowing 911 calls in an emergency (phone owner unconscious?).

Your data is still secure since the files containing that information are still encrypted. That's why you must still unlock the phone using your PIN, etc on first boot. To get all that data that's still encrypted.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] NWTSCL:
And yet that makes a man in the middle attack extremely easy because anyone who can turn it on can it can connect it to a nearby wireless network. And who knows what else is store elsewhere unencrypted. The new method makes no sense.

And if your data is still secure, how did it access my secured WiFi network? Unless the login info isn't secure.

[HTC One M8 for Windows] JukEboXAuDiO:
Yes I did flash to OEM. I have opened a case with Microsoft as well to see why it says I have to many unlocks when my Dev account shows no unlocks.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] Gurm:
That's interesting. Maybe they wised up to this method? I'll try an play around with it again this upcoming weekend. As a quick check, can you try using the 8.0 version of the app loader?
[HTC One M8 for Windows] MarkinSD:
I appreciate that. I also submitted a support ticket with Microsoft and they refused to help, instead directing me to the forums, which advised me to ... submit a support ticket. I reset my phone to OEM and same error message. But I have confidence you'll be able to outsmart them. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

I also tried 8.0 application deployer. No luck. Same error message. Not sure this is related, but I have a developer account and my phone, even when registered as unlocked using SDK tool, will not appear in the Dev Center's Dashboard as an unlocked device. And when I try to open Preview for Developers on my phone, I log in with the same username and password as my developer account but it won't recognize that and sends me to a page to buy a developer account.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] Gurm:
Uh-oh. It sounds like they have killed the "one phone for non-developers" workaround that they had previously put in place. I don't have a test phone - the one I upgraded has become my daily driver - but I'll see what I can figure out.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] JukEboXAuDiO:
I did I! I made it through. Microsoft fixed my developer account and I went all the way through. Do I need to relock the phone or no? Also should I uninstall the XAP 003 app or the reg editor?

[HTC One M8 for Windows] ldd0zz5:
First off - thank you for these instructions, they are excellent!!! I BELIEVE I have followed everything to the 'T'...unfortunately, I am stuck at step "80", I install Windows Insider with no problem, then I open it, select "Get preview builds" (my only option) and get the message "Server Error - A connection error prevented us from downloading programs for you. Please check the date/time of your device and its network connection and try again.". I have tried:

Turning it off and back on.

'Soft' reset

Setting time manually

Setting to Pacific time zone (what it defaulted to when I started it up)

Uninstalling/reinstalling Windows Insider (with reboots in-between)

Checking all registry edits, re-doing them

Researching this error online has not yielded any solutions outside the ones I have already tried.

Can anyone help/suggest something please? Thanks!
[HTC One M8 for Windows] waugj:
I am having the same problem with windows insider, server error, thanks for any help
[HTC One M8 for Windows] ldd0zz5:
I resolved my issue - by leveraging another forum in addition to all the great information on this one, here's the link: http://forums.windowscentral.com/htc-one-m8-windows/426772-5.htm and below are the exact instructions. it's a little bit of a hassle to pull the cabs but IT WORKS. I started right from where I couldn't move forward (step 80), though I uninstalled Windows Insider and put the registry settings back to 'normal' until this was complete. Interestingly, after completing and REINSTALLING Windows Insider, same error BUT Windows Update from control panel seems to work. It has restarted/rebooted several times but is now on the most recent update (November 9th) that I know of. No glitches (YET) to report, except for battery life seems shorter. Hope this helps someone!

Excerpt (starts from step 2 because step 1 is the Windows device recovery tool resetting device to 8.1 - if you've followed these instructions up to this point you don't need to do that)

....

2. Go to this site: 14219-10586 htc w8 tmous (0P6B140) - Pastebin.com and grab all of the .cab file urls. These urls are from this thread: [W10M BUILDS] Update links collection (cab-fâ€¦ | Windows 10 Development and Hacking)

3. This is the part that sucks... Paste each url into a browser to download the file (you should end up with 47 files) - on a side note, if anyone doesn't want to do this, I could paste a link to a zipped folder with all of the files

4. Place all the files into a folder named "cabs" in your C: drive (ex: C:\cabs)

5. Download and install the Windows Driver Kit from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526733

6. Open command prompt (windows + R then "cmd") and enter this command (places you in the proper folder to execute the next command): cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Tools\bin\i386

7. While your phone is connected to the PC, run the command: iutool.exe -V -p "C:\cabs" - it will take a while to execute as it transfers, then installs all 47 files. I think it took about 75-90 minutes for me.

Once that finishes, you'll be on build 10586.11

Once you've completed those steps, you can follow the directions posted by benj1091 at the beginning of the thread to OP the registry (via Interop Tools) to match a Lumia 735. If you want, you can then (or before) install Windows Insider to select your insider ring.

IF the developer app dissapears GO TO the store and look at your apps , find the developer app, and let the store RUN it... it works!

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

39.	Run the Preview app, and reverse the steps above to restore the original values (HTC, HTC6995LVW, HTC6995LVW) to the keys in steps 29-31.

a.	If your Preview app is missing, go to the store find the preview app (it'll be listed as installed) and run it from there!

So after waiting a week these error messages went away, so I didn't have to go the cab route,. Just opened the windows insider app, checked preview builds and finally got to windows 10.

[HTC One M8 for Windows] perfectreign:
Thank you! Took a bit of trying but got the One M8 back on Windows 10. (It was there prior but a rest moved it back to Win 8.)

The SD card option was the one issue. Need to install the CustomWPSystem app to the phone then switch to SD card then run the xap file.

All good now. It can join my Elite X3 at least as a backup. Just need to figure why I'm still on 10586.107, even with fast ring.

However, with now having updated the device to Windows 10, I'm in trouble with skype video calls. The front- and back cameras don't seem to be recognised correctly. As a result I can see the person called, but the person cannot see me.

Great Success - Thank You

This worked for me. I had some trouble with the reset to 8.1, but removing my SIM and SD cards solved that. So I'm currently at 15055.0, but having regedited back to HTC, I don't think I'm going to get any more updates OTA.

After the final update, the PC no longer recognized my phone, and regediting to HTC did not fix that. I'll have to fiddle around with the drivers, but even if that doesn't work, I've got WP 10 back (was on Android for my daily driver for 3 months), and am far more relaxed.
[HTC One M8 for Windows] r69s66bmw:

Just checked today, and the phone, which had been regedited back to HTC, downloaded and updated successfully to the latest WP update: 15063.138. Now waiting to see if it will get the Creators Update later this month, even though it is not on the list of devices to get that update.

Hey! :fingers-crossed:

Are you on creators update? did u got latest win10 build and its running smoothly?

Also I want to inquire that I'm on 10.0.10586 but in my registry its Lumia 735. can I upgrade using developer preview?
[HTC One M8 for Windows] pottyvick:
I followed this and it worked great. I updated it all the way to the creators update under the nokia 735 mod. Everything seems to be working great. Only issue is, once i edited the registry back to HTC the notification dropdown doesnt work and the auto brightness doesnt work (goes to full brightness in a dark room). If i change it back to the nokia info the notification dropdown works but the brightness is still all screwed up.

[HTC One M8 for Windows] macelius:
Worked on my OP6B140 (US T-Mobile), basic steps:

Install WP8.1 SDK

Use Windows Phone Developer Registration 8.1 to register phone

Use Windows Phone Application Deployment 8.1 to deploy CustomWPSystem_0500.xap

Copy CustomPFD_0003.xap to downloads folder on phone

Install Preview for Developers from the Store

Use CustomWPSSystem app to modify Preview for Developers app with Custom PFD_0003.xap to become a registry editor

Use modified "Preview for Developers" registry editor app to change PhoneManufacturer, PhoneModelName, and PhoneManufacturerModelName under HKLM/System/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo to supported model.

I used NOKIA Lumia 950, I actually forgot to change the PhoneManufacturerModelName to RM-1105 (for US ATT) but the update started downloading anyway. Still changed it while downloading just in case, but I'm not sure it's necessary, and neither is PhoneManufacturer, or at least it's not case-sensitive, because I used "Nokia" on my old phone (US ATT OP6B180, after doing the offline update method) and it worked fine.
