ok, understand.

One more question. As I understand, I should find and download RUU with Sense 7 for HTC One M8s. Do you know, where can I get some RUU?

I've search a lot and found smg. like here: ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S%28QL_UL%29/RUU/ but files are named as *sense60* (I guess, that it stands for Sense 6.0 or smg. Am I rhigt?)
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Yeah you should flash hTC firmware. If you do have some old backup of sense 6 then you can restore it with TWRP and then flash the sense 7 ota to update to sense 7

If you don't have any backup, you should flash the firmware from the bootloader.

https://ruu.lalleman.net/HTC_M8S(QL...1_20.05_018_F_release_479349_combined_signed/

If you need further info pm me.
[One (M8s) General] Sredna76:
I have also upgraded from cm12 to lineage 13 with clean install. Why should it be necessary to flash ugly sense when it is clean Lineage rom? Can not the needed files be included in th pure Lineage 13 ROM?

Sorry for complaining ,this is something I have been waiting for a long time.Thank you very much for your hard work!

Sense was not mention in the initial instructions in this thread as I read it.

How do I flash the needed files from TWRP?
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
I don't refer in the instructions how to go back to stock. I think voidzero had opened a thread for that.

I state though that Software Needed: M OTA.

No I can't include these files in Lineage rom

Cause when you update to Sense 7 you update your radio, the HBOOT and the sbl along with the other parts (system, kernel etc).

The problem is that if not upgrade to newer SBL and radio some things are not wokring and you are getting these random reboots.

-Chris
[One (M8s) General] daniolek:
Dozens of flashes later...

I have decided to wait and not to upgrade yet. I have back to CM12.1. Maybe someone will found solution for upgrade without Sense 7 or maybe there will be something better ;)

Thanks for your help! ;)
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Don't expect that. Really.

When you'll want to upgrade to Lineage 14 (if I release it) probably you won't be able to boot it with the old SBL because i just updated the kernel.

So I think the only way to flash a working Lineage 13 is to update to Sense 7. I didn't tell you stay there, just update and straight flash Lineage after that.

;)
[One (M8s) General] Sredna76:
Thank you! I now have done all correctly and running Lineage 13 as you suggested without problem.

I was thinking it should be much work but in fact it was not so painful at all but to find the Unlock_code.bin took some time...

1. Relock Bootloader with fastboot "fastboot oem lock"

2. Reflash to stock https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/one-m8s-general/help-thread-htc-one-m8s-to-stock-howto-t3190238

3. Unlock bootloader (find the Unlock_code.bin that you received from HTC when unlocking the phone first time) and " fastboot flash unlock token Unlock_code.bin"

4. Flash TWRP recovery

5. Enter TWRP and flash as described on page 1
[One (M8s) General] Axxess:
Hello guys and thank you for you effort.

I would be nice if you could state what issues are not yet fixed and what you working on for the net release ?
[One (M8s) General] Mr_White_214:
He already has, it's under known issues in the OP
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Respect. Pm me in telegram.
[One (M8s) General] rubliexpress:
hello root-expert

thanks for the update!

currently it runs version 13.0-20170715

Question 1: can I update my phone with this version without any changes/damages on the system and settings (also with other apps)?

==> I would be very worried if I have to set up the phone again.... :silly:

Question2: what's about the OTA-update function? is it implemented?

==> update says: last update checked at 1. jan. 1970 :)

thanks

rubliexpress
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Just flash the update from recovery without wiping anything. You can wipe the dalvik/cache if you encounter any problems.

Unfortunately, OTA from the system doesn't work. This will work when LineageOs will be become official for the M8s (never)

There is a way to implement it from Mark's server but i need Mark's permission to do it. Unfortunately, nor Mark neither me have free time to do that.

I'll work as fast as i can to get the camera issue fixed because I know it is annoying, but i can't promise anything for the ETA of the next update.
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
Any of you there has no problem with the headphone's mic since the last update has this fix? I just recently updated my lineage but headphone's mic still not working. :(
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
I told everyone to give some feedback but no one answered. For me it is working.

Only for audio recording it doesn't work which i'll add it in the known bugs ASAP, but for calls it is wokring fine.

If you have problems please post a log. I can't smell my nails :P

In the next release I'll fix voIP speaker because it doesn't work. Already building with some changes for camera too.
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
How to check the logs?
[One (M8s) General] Mr_White_214:
This question should be asked on Google. Anyways, connect your phone to your PC and make sure ADB debugging is enabled. Open your terminal and type: adb logcat > log.txt. open the file log.txt
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
By the way, local call works fine with the headphone's mic but does not work on internet calls like messenger.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
The last time I state that. Logs...

The next post which refers to a bug and doesn't have logs i'll ignore it.
[One (M8s) General] dimgoal:
I have a question, which gapps do we need to take ? (6.1) but ARM, ARM64, X86 ?

I have a reboot loop after install the OS and the gapps.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Arm64. TWRP will not let you install unrelated gapps.

You have to flash the rom and the gapps without rebooting to system. If you flash the rom reboot to system and then flash gapps you'll have problems
[One (M8s) General] dimgoal:
That's what I have done but I have this message at the first boot (unfortunately, google play service has stopped), and after that I cannot run correctly the roms :( .

If I don't install the gapps it works but without play store it's bad...
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Give more info. What was your last rom?

Fid you wipe before flashing? What did you wipe?
[One (M8s) General] dimgoal:
My last roms was the official 6.0 from HTC.

Yes I did a custom wipe before flash (system, data,dalvick cache, cache)

And I try the gapps mini.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Then i don't know. Try re-downloading gapps maybe it got corrupted
[One (M8s) General] OrbGod:
My phone is acting weird. GUI(Trebuchet) crashes all the time and phone restarts UI. Tried to reflash, wipe, etc still the same... Anyone having this issue?
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Hey folks!

I just uploaded the new Lineage build on the server. Download and post a feedback. Please report the remaining issues to fix them, i cannot find all the issues on myself.

For changelog see the the changeog.txt file ;)

Note:

In this build i switched SELinux to enforcing. If you observe anything unusual please post it here WITH LOGS.

See ya

-Chris
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
I'm still having that issue with him on the this latest update of lineage OS, I tried a lot reflash on older versions and to this. Still got this problem. I tried to get the logs but my phone won't turn on properly because of the repeated soft reboots.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Ι'll still don't have such problems and I flash A LOT. Many ROMs per day to test.

Give more info. What was you last OS, did you try clean install (wipe before installing).
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
Yes I did clean install. My last OS was this, lineage-13.0-20170824-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul from which I experienced that issue. But then before you uploaded lineage-13.0-20170912-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul, I tried flashing previous versions still having the issue. Then a while ago I tried the latest (lineage-13.0-20170912-UNOFFICIAL-m8qlul) still having the issue. Everytime I flash, I always wipe first.

Boot to TWRP go to Wipe->Advanced Wipe and wipe:

Dalvik /ART Cahce

Cache

system

Data

Then download the latest build and flash it and flash gapps as well without rebooting to system. Then boot to system
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
Actually that's how I wipe everytime I flash rom. Wiping dalvik, cache, data and system.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Do you flash gapps straight after flashing los without a reboot?
[One (M8s) General] OrbGod:
Flashed the new build. Until now no restarts/crashes. What I have notticed is the WhatsApp QR Code Scan is fixed(maybe focus was the issue...)

I'll post new updates in a few days/week.

Thanks for supporting this ROM !

Andrei
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
True, the focus was causing that, maybe or maybe not who knows.
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
Oh I forgot, maybe that's the issue I'm having cause I couldn't flash gapps after los. Maybe it's the twrp that i'm using. My twrp blacks out everytime I do such thing; like flashing and wiping. For example, I flashed los then it will blackout slowly then it won't turn on again so I have to do the power button + lower vol button then flash gapps then blackout then boot to system. Maybe I'm using the wrong twrp?
[One (M8s) General] OrbGod:
That was the fix.. so doesn't matter now :)

Unfortunately bad news... crazy reboot started again...

Before update I have wiped/advance wiped... also after.

Can anyone point me how i can get some logs ? :rolleyes:

UPDATE: Actually looks like it is not rebooting. I just see the LineageOS13 Logo like forever...

PS. I was installing apps from Play while that happend.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Flash the TWRP from src.voidzero.net and the retry

Search in google how to take logs. When you have some.post them here.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Adb doesn't work because you don't have debugging enabled. You',ll need an eng boot.img for it to work. Unfortunately i can't privide it to you right now
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
Okay, tried flashing again the twrp on src.voidzero.net and the rom and gapps. Still got the same issue, I was installing some apps then there it goes again repeated soft reboots or stuck on lineage OS logo.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
I just installed and unistalled an app without any problem. Gother me logs. Eithout logs i'm blind
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
I can't get logs cause my phone won't turn on normally. I can't turn on usb debugging. Any method on getting logs like fastboot or recovery?
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Just wait for me to give you eng boot.img (not today)
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
I'll keep in touch :)
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
I removed the build from the server. Please don't flash this build. People who flashed the build, if you encounter any bootlooping let me know.

My build was stablew for almost 1 day and yesterday as I was sleeping it encounter a bootloop, logs showed that Facebook and Messenger were crashing over and over.
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
From what I've remembered, it's the facebook who led me to the bootloops everytime I install it last night.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Yeah i know. I suspect SELinux. Everyone who have flashed this build and your phone is bootlooping message me to give you an older build.
[One (M8s) General] cola5000:
Is it possible to get an older build version?

Thanks
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Little patient please. During the weekend i believe i'll release a new build.
[One (M8s) General] aces5830:
Great news, today i had this issue, as well. I was too close to throw my phone to wall :mad:
[One (M8s) General] L3viathan:
Just as a point of reference (it might be related), I'm running 12.1 - and the same is happening since yesterday's update to Facebook. Had to uninstall facebook. Will upgrade to 13.0 when root-expert manages to pinpoint it.
[One (M8s) General] aces5830:
is there any way to uninstall this sh***y app facebook from my phone, everytime i give it a try "package installer" crashes.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
I don't really understand what's going on with facebook and the new build.

If you want ti uninstall it do it via adb shell. Go to system/app and remove facebook. You also need to remove facebook data for /data partition
[One (M8s) General] L3viathan:
Hey guys,

I managed to do so using Google Play (uninstall in the Play Store - it didn't crash for me), Package Manager crashed for me as well. In case that doesn't work - boot into Android Safe Mode and uninstall it there. I've verified, tried reinstalling FB - this is the cause of the crash. 100%.

logcat is throwing errors about Trebuchet and permissions:

But I'm not sure if that's the true reason of this error.

If that helps, [MENTION=6052895]root-expert[/MENTION], I can supply some log files. Still running CM12.1, will hopefully update over the weekend, but I'm pretty sure these crashes might be related and we can try to pinpoint the issue.

FB probably crashed quite a bit of CM/Lineage OS cells for everyday users who don't know how to recover... ;).
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
It's weird, i never had such problems until last build. If fb crashes in cm12.1 then it's not a SELinux issue.
[One (M8s) General] L3viathan:
It only happened with the FB update from 13th. And exactly the same happened to my friend's cellphone (most interestingly, M7, mine is M8s) on CM 12.1 - but instead of recovering, he threw his phone at the wall, and he shattered it.

[MENTION=6052895]root-expert[/MENTION] - Feel free to let me know if I can assist you somehow. I will try to update to L13.1 during the weekend, so we're testing on the same platform.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
If that happens to other phones which has los then maybe it's a Los issue or Facebook issue.

If you have any backup of stock rom and you can go back to there, update facebook and test it will be awesome.
[One (M8s) General] aces5830:
uninstalling through Play Store is actullay worked :good: but still it was an annoying experience for me. So, it means we are not able to use Facebook anymore with this release?
[One (M8s) General] brunkonjaa:
Why don't yee use different facebook app??
[One (M8s) General] -=hold_fast=-:
Hi! where is the build?(
[One (M8s) General] ChaquiLois:
It is being removed due to bootloop screen issue/bug
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
I don't think the release is the actual problem here. I just tried an older build (09-09-2017) and I still have the same issue. I'll the last build i had released and let you know if it crashes.

Whoever has these problems with bootloops, just uninstall facebook.

Boot to TWRP

Mount system

From your pc issue

adb shell
cd /data
rm -rf com.facebook.katana-1
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
I asked one friend today, and he told me he has similar issues in his 6.0.1 stock rom on his phone.

Maybe that's an issue with facebook. The error I see in logcat is "JavaBinder: BINDER TRANSACTION FAILED!!" this usually happens when you exceed the binder size, the binder size depends on the android version.

I also asked my brother who run android 7.x and he doesn't have similar issues.

The other guy said that Facebook Lite works fine for him.
[One (M8s) General] daniolek:
hi,
[MENTION=6052895]root-expert[/MENTION]: is there any chance to see the new release today? or in short period of time? this will be my second try with LOS ;)

regards! ;)
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Yeah, i'll build a new ROM with Semptember security updates.

Please, everyone, don't install facebook. Try out facebook lite. Maybe we can report the issue to Facebook.

Thanks.

[One (M8s) General] marcel94m:
Hi guys, first of been reading through this thread and others about cm13 & cm12 for HTC M8s. for the past day and half. I really appreciate all the work you guys have put in and keep putting in out of your own time to keep this phone usable daily driver. My issue is ive only had this phone for a bout 2 days, also i am a nerd for pc's but not to familiar with what comes with altering android and so on. Basically i have my m8s currently running twrp 3.0.2.0, and did the rom flash through that, also i had sesnse 7 before the flash so based on the thread and what you guys have said thats all in order. I flashed CM12.1 it worked fine for a while until i started charging and installing apps. After getting to the end of this thread i realized FB App doesn't help and i did have issues after installing it as my phone would just reboot and get stuck on CM12 boot screen and i could only get it to go in to recovery mode. I have retried flashing CM12.1 and phone works fine for like half hour but then will reboot and get stuck again, not sure if that is FB app or just something ive done wrong. The other thing is, in the day and half i have followed your threads i can not find the LOS13 Zip rom? is it because you have taken it down for now or? Sorry for any silly things i may of mentioned i am new to the whole scene.

Appreciate all the help, thanks for the work you guys have done again!!
[One (M8s) General] daniolek:
yeah! ;) that's nice. When do you expect the sec. upd. release (I'm not sure if I have time for some cleanings ;))

regards!
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
I just uploaded the new build in the server. Still facebook has problems so I completely removed it from my phone. Facebook Lite works fine for me and i'll stick with that.

I don't think that's an issue of my rom, maybe Facebook related.

I also switched SELinux back to permissive just to be safe guys ;)

Please report the remaining bugs, but with logs and I'll fix them.

See ya!

After the last restart, i createt a log file.
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Ensure that your package is not corrupted by checking md5sum. Wipe Dalvik, System, Data, Cache and install los package and gapps.

I believe you already know that before upgrading to los you should have Android 6(Sense 7) installed in your device
[One (M8s) General] cola5000:
File is not corrupted.

Original HTC was deleted after many try´s.

Original Software don´t want to boot.

But there is no way to find the right version for download.

Then i tried other ways. cm12.1 works
[One (M8s) General] OrbGod:
Works good

Hi there,

Just did the update today and until now all works well. No bootloop no crashes... all good!

Hope all is well for everyone.
[One (M8s) General] L3viathan:
Hey [MENTION=6052895]root-expert[/MENTION], I upgraded my CM12.1 to the latest build yesterday. Points of interest:

1. Upside, in CM12.1 I had a weird echo during calls - this effect is gone in LOS! THANKS!

2. The phone is cool and stable (as usual :D.).

3. The battery is way better than Stock, similiar to CM12, so really good.

4. The performance of the device seems to be improved, not sure if that's measurable anyhow - but this is my personal conclusion from the general UI feeling.

5. Tomorrow I will try to get some logs, tweak the settings, etc. for Facebook crashes. Hopefully we can resolve it, not sure on which side the fault is, the build or Facebook itself, or both. Let me know if I can help you with that anyhow, logs, etc.

I encountered one problem, not sure if it touched anyone else: Enabling MTP is difficult, I have to enter developer options and click 'usb mode' and select MTP over and over (phone disconnected) until it works (then I connect the phone and it is fine). The notification drop-down doesn't seem to work at all for me, the device disappears from Windows, and doesn't reappear as MTP. Any ideas on that? Nothing important though, minor inconvenience.

p.s. It's amazing, thanks a lot for all the hard work and keep it up with [MENTION=732043]voidzero[/MENTION]!

Is facebook already okay? No more bootloops?
[One (M8s) General] L3viathan:
Yeah, Facebook still crashes, doesn't really bootloop, but crashes hard and takes down a bunch of system services with it as well. [MENTION=6052895]root-expert[/MENTION] You might wan't to ask [MENTION=404544]void[/MENTION] zero to add that in the Known Bugs section in the Original Post.

Any hints how can we trace the issue? Got 2 log files from the crashes. I will be a pleasure to assist you to pinpoint the issue or find a workaround.
[One (M8s) General] jacktackle:
where is the new build? still 13.0
[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
Thanks for your interest. Send me a pm.
[One (M8s) General] Fredrikzzon:
Another APP

Not sure if it's the app or the rom. But I think the bootloop and crashes are also in the app MacroDroid.

I'm using the 17 September build and the arm64 gapps from the 20th September.

[One (M8s) General] root-expert:
First select MTP from developers settings and then plug in your phone. That should give you access to your file over MTP.

Los14.1 has booted some weeks ago. But it has one problem with internet connection, both for WiFi and Cell Data.

So i won't realese it now.
