[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltacadet84:
Hey everyone, long time reader here but first post. I could not find any post with my same situation...

I have an HTC One M8 that I've been running CyanogenMod 13 nightlies on for some time. Here are the specs:

TWRP Recovery (Though I have used CWM and Cyanogen Recovery in the past)

Currently Cyanogenmod 13 nightly is installed, but I have a bootloop.

Unlocked bootloader and all that jazz. S-ON right now, not sure if it has ever been off.

Always worked well with minimal glitches. Cyanogenmod 14.1 nightlies began a few days ago, so I downloaded one and installed it via CWM recovery as I typically would. Things were REALLY glitchy, and I read that it is better to clean install when you bump up a release number (i.e. 13 to 14). I booted into recovery and must have screwed something up.

I did a factory reset, possibly in FASTBOOT (don't remember, first mistake). I think that caused corruption of the DATA partition. CWM was incapable of doing basically anything. It could not wipe or install anything regarding the DATA Partition. I looked up tutorials and installed TWRP via Fastboot and did some wipes of the Dalvik Cache, Cache, Data, System, and Internal Storage. It took some repair of the DATA partition, but I changed its format a few times from FAT to EXT4 and it worked when I settled on EXT4 (problem seemingly solved).

Everything acts normal in Recovery. Multiple times I have wiped everything and done one of the following:

1) Installed the CM14.1 nightly and the GAPPS. When I boot up, so many apps and utilities are crashing that the popups do not let me touch the Startup Wizard. I can barely get it to turn off.

2) Installed a working CM13 nightly just to get something back. Bootloops at the CM logo infinitely (checked, yes it bootlooped overnight and I'm not just impatient).

I've tried all three Recovery options, multiple CM Roms (including ones I knew worked), and wiped everything I could (with the exception of the External-SD card where I store the Roms and GAPPS).

Like an idiot, I don't have a nandroid backup. However, I know what Rom worked and have a copy of it. I don't need anything that was on the phone.

What else is there to do? I'm scared to RUU, and I don't think that'll help me much. Any functionality at this point is fine with me, I don't care about Nougat until I get things working again.

Suggestions? Thanks a lot.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
These where the problem are (as I see them and I maybe wrong)

- I don't think CM14.1 can properly be installed with CWM. You need TWRP 3.0.2-0

- In order to run TWRP 3.0.2-0 and CM14.1, your current firmware must be Marshmallow 6.xx.xxx.x

Post fastboot getvar all result (without serial & imei no.) then we can see what you need.

If your firmware already on Marshmallow and TWRP 3.0.2-0 is installed, boot to TWRP recovery - wipe - format data - type "yes" then main menu, reboot - recovery

Now you can install ROM.

With fastboot getvar all result, someone will be able to help you. I got to sign off now .. good night & good luck

Go into twrp wipe everything system, data, dalvic, cache and flsh the rom that you know will work or the stock rom from http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html and report to us if it works
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
this will not help him,if he find his device RUU in the link you provide it just back to stock

the above post by ckpv5 is the answer,ckpv5 just tell him how to solve his issue by flashing the latest released firmware ( 6.xx.xxx.xx ) and the latest TWRP ( 3.0.2-0 ) then flash the ROM,after that everything will work as it should

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
Did you complete the flash ? Did you reboot after the flash end ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dewzone:
These steps i did

Flashed even after that notice.

Wiped cache/dalvik

Flash gapps

Wiped cache/dalvik

Reboot.

But after it many functions were not working like sim card n few other options.

Did something went wrong?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
No there is nothing to worry about it's normal

What rom you coming from before cm ?

If you have any issues flash firmware then flash the rom,this may solve some issues for you as it solved for me
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinchao740:
I got system patching unconditionally notice too but it worked fine with no problem. As of the Sim card, you will need to wait a while for the sim card to be recognized.

Thanks for the help guys! I really don't care about getting CM 14.1 working, I'm perfectly happy with the older nightlies like I was using. I have already used TWRP to wipe Data, Dalvik, System, and Internal Storage MULTIPLE times and tried to flash all kinds of ROMs I know I've used before, so I know that's not the fix. I think ckpv5 is right about the firmware, I just don't know what I'm doing past this point.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Firstly .. you have a LRA device and AFAIK there is no Marshmallow firmware / update for your device version.

Secondly .. wiping all those won't help. You need to format data in TWRP as I said earlier.

Thirdly .. for your current firmware level, it's best to install TWRP 2.8.7.0 then do that format data not wipe data.

boot to TWRP recovery - wipe - format data - type "yes" then main menu, reboot - recovery

then you can install your working ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltacadet84:
Steps complete, still bootlooping at the Cyanogenmod alien logo. I installed TWRP 2.8.7.0, followed your above steps for a CM13.0 Nightly I had run before and the CM12.1 latest release candidate. No cigar :rolleyes:

New strategy?

You need to relock bootloader because you have S-On device.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] GuestK00456:
I want to be able to open Google Now and say something like "text Batman" and make that phrase open up a voice input field so that it begins to transcribe a message I speak and have that message sent to a specific contact. I could obviously just rename the contact "Batman," but that would be self-defeating, as I want to keep the contact name as what it currently is. Any suggestions?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] JimSmith94:
Try adding "Batman" as a nickname in his contact. Then you can use either his real name or "Batman".

[XDA Assist] D. Lucas:
Hello there.

I have a LG G Pro Lite D683 phone which suffers from a very strange multitouch issue. Whenever i hold down a point on the screen and then press another, the first point "refreshes" at the moment i release the second point, as if i had released it too and then pressed it again. This affects all apps and makes playing some games rather impossible. It seems to be a rare problem, i haven't been able to find much about this on the web... Is there a solution, work around or at least an explanation for this?:confused:

Thanks in advance.
[XDA Assist] sawdoctor:
Greetings and welocme to assist. This sounds like a hardware issue to me, I would contact your local sevice centre it may be a faulty didgitiser

Good Luck

Sawdoctor
[XDA Assist] D. Lucas:
Thank you. That's what i was afraid of...:(

I have noticed that the problem doesn't happen if release the first point rather than the second... Also, it get's even worse if i enable the magnification gestures from accessibility menu. The delay between releasing a point and the screen recognizing the other one's still there gets longer with that option enabled. Is there a chance it's not a hardware issue...?
[XDA Assist] sawdoctor:
The only other thing I can suggest is factory resetting the phone and reinstalling your stock firmware to see if that helps

Good Luck

I see... Well, i've already done that. Guess it's time to get a new phone anyway... Thank you. ^^;

I am wondering if it is possible to flash the latest dev preview with flashfire and doing a factory reset will that unroot my phone and return me to stock
[Nexus 6P General] casadomack:
Nope. SuperSU does the job. I've never done it, but read it somewhere. Don't try it or you will get either a bootloop or brick your phone.

What you mean SuperSu does the job
[Nexus 6P General] therock3181:
Why don't you flash Google preview image ? It will wipe everything and return you to stock.
[Nexus 6P General] casadomack:
I mean you should use the SuperSu to unroot, then update with fastboot.

Check this: https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=b86-OvFeAec

It's a simple way to unroot (I guess)... Like I said before, never done it.

Just download the developer preview #2 and use flashfire to install. That's what I did. Really, really easy.
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
Chainfire himself doesn't recommend flashing bootloader and radio using FlashFire.

The safest way to install those is using fastboot from a PC.
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
If you want to just unroot, and you are systemless, you just need to flash the boot.img.
[Nexus 6P General] xMIChael91x:
So all you did was flash the dev preview image. Do you still have root or no
[Nexus 6P General] bigmatt503:
I had to reflash super user

Please do not advise someone who is not familiar with how to flash images / return to stock to use a toolkit, ever. Unless you're willing to walk them back to stock step by step in their "Help, my phone is dead!!!" thread in Q&A...
[Nexus 6P General] xMIChael91x:
OK what was your steps you made to achieve this
[Nexus 6P General] bigmatt503:
Download the developer preview #2 then use flashfire and use the flash firmware and then it will give you a few choices on what you want to keep (recovery, data, other stuff) them hit the flash button. If you look on YouTube there's a few great tutorials from maow droid and gadget hacks that I learned from. Hope I have helped.
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
Just wanted to say was able to use FlashFire to apply final 7.1.1 on developer preview. Just selected boot, system and vendor. Preserve recovery and inject root. No problems whatsoever!
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
Yes, that's the quickest method from a fully stock DP2 with twrp and root and is safe.
[Nexus 6P General] ndfan77:
This doesn't update the modem. Seems potentially problematic not to flash it too as a general practice...? (Which I think you're only supposed to do with fastboot?)
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
From DP to 7.1.1 the modem hasn't changed.

Otherwise yes, it should have been updated through fastboot.
[Nexus 6P General] ndfan77:
FWIW -- the modem included with 7.1.1 is 03.78. The modem that was on my 6P originally was 03.72 (but I was two security updates behind at this point, counting the one in 7.1.1). Who knows what changed between the two. Maybe something significant, or maybe not. But as a matter of practice it's probably just easier to take the time to update the modem with fastboot after a FlashFire OTA update finishes, rather than taking the time to research whether anything significant changed in the modem. Even with this extra nuance though, using FlashFire is still an improvement over manually flashing each partition and then re-rooting.
[Nexus 6P General] sultan.of.swing:
Where do you find the OTA in Flashfire? Have been looking with no luck

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ahmplus:
Hi All,

I bought a Verizon Droid Turbo more than a year ago in USA at full price (unlocked), used it there and now I am in India.

I am using a local telecom operator 'Tata Docomo CDMA', but the mobile data is not working on it. I had a debug session with one of the engineers. He said the APN username has 000-000-XXXX@vzw... and due to this it is failing authentication and hence data not working. The APN username was set to <mobilenumber>@omh.ttsl.in . This username was not getting reflected.

Phone is not rooted.

Have tried the following combinations.

1. Problem CDMA sim + Droid Turbo= No Data

2. other number CDMA sim + Droid Turbo= Data working, no APN settings done. This sim is old one.

3. Reset to default for APN + add new APN on Droid Turbo= no Data

4. Problem CDMA sim + HTC one M7 = Data working, no APN settings done

I am clueless at this point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ahmplus:
Bump, any suggestions?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Well, I just did some research and your carrier is shutting down their CDMA service.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tata_DoCoMo#CDMA_shutdown

It's already started in some regions:

So, you're not going to be able to use CDMA anyway in a few months, even if where you live still has it. Are you sure your region still has it?

____

OK, here's two possible reasons.

1) your CDMA carrier uses different frequencies than what your Verizon phone has.

What frequencies does your carrier use? Here's what the Droid Turbo has.

In

articles I see references your carrier uses 850 Mhz for CDMA

?

If true, that's not what the Droid Turbo has.

That quote above may not be factually correct. I really can't find much information about specific CDMA bands your carrier uses.

OR

2) Possibly your CDMA bands are locked to Verizon? Verizon's LTE bands are unlocked on their phones but I can't find confirmation they unlocked their CDMA portion on their phones... If not, it CAN be unlocked but it just may not be unlocked right now.

This may or may not be an answer, but how did you obtain your phone? Here's why I'm asking...

Before Verizon launched LTE network, they were notorious for locking their CDMA phones to their network. When they went to LTE, they started doing that also. Our U.S. communications agency, called the FCC, told Verizon if they wanted any more LTE spectrum (in future airwaves auctions) they would have to unlock their LTE phones. Verizon agreed. This happened in 2012.

So, if you stick in an LTE sim card from another carrier, you will get LTE signal. All of Verizon's recent phones, like the 2014 Droid Turbo XT1254, also have HSPA bands -- which would also be unlocked (because Verizon doesn't use HSPA, but it's there).

Not many carriers use CDMA. Here's my point. I can find no confirmation Verizon ever agreed to unlock the CDMA on their phones. That was NOT part of the agreement, only LTE. (They may unlock it also, I just can't find confirmations.) Right now, your CDMA bands may still only work if connected to Verizon.

Now, a lot of dealers who sell Droid Turbos (or any Verizon phone) in other countries know how to "unlock" the phones so they will work on other networks.

IF my hypothesis is correct and IF your phone was obtained from a non-dealer, say a private sale, it may not be unlocked for CDMA use on other carriers. You would need to get it network unlocked. There are internet based services who do this kind of work as well as 3rd party dealers.

___

Additional questions:

HTC one M7 ? What carrier is that phone affiliated with? Did you buy it used somewhere or is it your carrier's phone? Or at least an "India" carrier phone? What CDMA bands does it have?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ahmplus:
Oh, lot of questions, but I have answers for all.

Yes, they are shutting down the business. But the region where I belong to Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, they would be shutting down next year mid 2017. This is not in the news as such, but got it from the internal guys. This region has the one of maximum subscribers so they decided it to keep it going longer.

I have multiple Verizon devices (Moto Droid Turbo, Moto Droid Razr, Samsung Galaxy Stellar) using the same network operator Tata Docomo CDMA. Although I didnt lookup the exact frequencies, but I can assure you that they work on this operator and have same frequency as Verizon.

I bought the handset Moto Droid Turbo at full price in USA. Moreover, I have another sim (~4 years) from the same operator (Tata Docomo CDMA) which works perfectly fine in Moto Droid Turbo. The calls/data work out of the box, no settings required.

But for this particular sim from the same operator, which I recently received, only calls work, no data.

So let me put it this way.

Tata Docomo CDMA sim 1: Moto Droid Turbo - Calls only

Tata Docomo CDMA sim 2: Moto Droid Turbo - Calls + Data

So the Asian market has comparatively different handsets compared to the Western market. Most of the handsets are not carrier based, they are sold with out any carrier branding to work on any carrier.

This HTC One M7 has dual sim capability and the first slot supports both GSM and CDMA network.

HTC one M7, dual sim for India
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ahmplus:
You are correct, the operator has upgraded the sims over the last couple of years, but I cant exactly say what has been changed.

I cross checked with Verizon, they said the device is factory unlocked, so no point in trying the unlock code. :(

Yup, I am at a dead end.

Although I can set the APN, but that doesnt have any affect on the Data connection. I got it debugged with the operator, he says that some verizon username (000-000-0072@vzw3g.com) comes in APN hence the connection is getting refused or in short authentication failure.
