I tried to install LOS 17.1 offical and failed, too.

I used TRWP 3.3.1.1 and bootet into recovery, wiped cache and system and installed LOS 17.1 Rom by adb sideload as well as Gapps nano/micro (in 2 trials).

On both trials the phone booted in to LOS animation and keeps animating in a loop. Nothing more happens in several minutes. No success.

I restored LOS 16 and my data. All went fine with it. I keep on waiting.

Hi,

That's not the latest TWRP. The newest one is at the top of the releases page: https://github.com/CaptainThrowback/android_device_htc_m8/releases. I am also seeing the system_root error after flashing the ROM. This seems to be a ROM issue, but I'm not really sure what the issue is :confused:. I took the last unofficial ROM from [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] (2/25) and put the 4/1 Nightly system into the zip and repacked it, and I get the same problem. But if I use the last unofficial zip, I have no issue at all. So something has to be up with the ROM itself, is my conclusion.

TWP

EDIT: There does seem to be a size difference between the ROMs of about 35MB, which isn't negligible. My guess is a bad build.

Did you try to install Gapps on it as well? Or did you purely flash Lineage OS 17.1?

Just the Lineage OS 17.1 initially and nothing happens, it keeps rebooting to recovery. Then I though installing Gapps might help, so went ahead and installed "open_gapps-arm-10.0-nano-20200401.zip" and same thing, it keeps rebooting to recovery :(
[One (M8) Android Development] N3m3515:
The last Version worked for me.

I Installed this Recovery.

After that i reformated system_root with ext4 then repaired system_root and then resized it.

After that i formated everything except local storage.

Then installed LineageOS and without reboot i installed the latest opengapps nano.

Worked flawlessly.

You really have to format data and then wipe Cache and System before you install the new official Rom. Had the same issues as you had but this solved it!
[One (M8) Android Development] The_Walking_Playground:
Hi,

I was able to confirm this on my unencrypted device. I recalled, however that with the device encrypted, this isn't a problem. So I encrypted, and now the OTA installs, but decryption is broken :/. Hopefully [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] can fix it. I did also try installing the OTA via Lineage recovery, and while that appeared to work fine, it resulted in a neverending boot animation. So my assumption is that whatever is preventing the ROM from fully booting after installing via Lineage recovery is the same thing that's preventing it from installing at all in TWRP. Perhaps [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] can look into this? I'll attach the recovery log from the failed OTA update and maybe that'll shed some light on it, for whomever need to fix it.

TWP

P.S. It turns out I had neglected to grab said log so I had to start over by backing up, wiping encryption and installing the 4/2 build over again. It turns out that while I was doing that, [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] posted an updated TWRP which both fixed the encryption issue, and also fixed the OTA issue. Perhaps you can try the new release and confirm it's working? Guess there's nothing to fix after all and it was just a TWRP issue (which is now fixed).
[One (M8) Android Development] Help The Peace:
[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] posted another update about 2h ago mentioning that it does NOT fix the issue:

"This does not fix the issue with the Lineage OTA not installing when the device is unencrypted, but I don't know that it's a TWRP issue since it doesn't work correctly with Lineage Recovery either."
[One (M8) Android Development] W-Zaki:
Just flashed yesterday and so far so good. Just wondering, how to enable developer mode here as I want to reduce animations and it doesn't seem to be enabled by tapping the build number as usual?
[One (M8) Android Development] bgcngm:
The same old way.
[One (M8) Android Development] The_Walking_Playground:
Hi,

I saw that, but it's working now, so I don't know. Try it? Maybe he didn't have a chance to test that or didn't expect that to fix it, but it's working for me now. I didn't change anything else besides updating TWRP, so I'm not sure what else the fix could be :confused:. Unless encrypting, backing up, formatting data, booting up, then restoring data and reflashing the 4/2 ROM to take the OTA unencrypted did something, but it seems more likely that the update to TWRP fixed it.

TWP

EDIT: Of course I tried today's and it's not working. I ended up getting factory reset after a failed update. Since LOS Recovery is also not working, I assume this needs to be fixed upstream. [MENTION=455439]bgcngm[/MENTION] is there anything we can do to fix this?

Hi [MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION]

I wanted to post my expirience with installing LOS 17.1 to the HTC One M8 of my wife, first it looks like latest twrp-3.3.1-1 seems to have some Problems, i can't activate MTP (It won't show up in Windows), i can't make a Backup of the old System (It hangs at creating the second digest for the data Partition), i can't flash the latest lineage 17.1 .zip file (It aborts with an error).

So i tried to use official twrp-3.3.1-0 and it works perfect, i can activate MTP, i can make a backup of the old system, and i can flash the latest (20200404) lineage 17.1 .zip file to system and gapps installation works fine.

But there is another Problem, the Tretbuchet Launcher is unusable, it continuously crashes, so i have to use the Pixel Launcher which works without any Problem.

I hope that this expirience helps a little bit, because of the fact it's the Phone of my wife i can't do much testing for other Solutions, sorry for this. :)
[One (M8) Android Development] The_Walking_Playground:
Hi,

That's not the latest TWRP. Can you try the latest and confirm whether you're still having issues? I assume an update was posted because there were issues with the previous one. The official TWRP doesn't support encryption which is why the new ones were uploaded. I can confirm that MTP is weird in Windows 10, but it works fine in Ubuntu and I can confirm that the drivers are the problem, not TWRP.

Hi there I have been using your builds for both 16.0 and 17.0. on the M8 and i have noticed that Firefox Focus from the google play store doesn't work at all.

when you download then run the app. it freezes for 2 secs then reboots the device each and every time you open the app.

[One (M8) Android Development] The_Walking_Playground:
Hi,

The original one may be able to install an OTA, but I believe it still wipes out the OS version in bootloader and it can't decrypt if the device is encrypted. I believe it also isn't set up to properly handle the system-as-root setup that Android 10 uses.

I put LineageOS 17.1 on my M8, and it starts the setup process, then powers down and reboots. I can get through the boot animation, and get to the 'start' on the setup app, and that's bout it. Always shuts down. I did a normal 'wipe' in TWRP, did not format data partition, and am now back to running LineageOS 16.0 with no problem. Using 'Official' TWRP 3.3.1-0. Am I doing anything wrong? For 'first time' install from stock (I'm not on stock, I'm on LineageOS 16.0), I saw somewhere it says you need to format the data partition. I am hoping that has nothing to do with it since Lineage 17.1 installs and boots just fine. It just won't stay running for me.

Thank you!

I have Sprint on M8whl / single sim

I have the same problem with LOS 17.1. I get to the setup app, and the phone shuts down and reboots by itself on the first screen (with the start button) or on the second screen where you select the language.

I am using LOS 16.0 on M8 with Sprint (actually Ting). Works great, except I came from Resurrection Remix, and I REALLY need to get rid of the 'recents' button and totally customize the navigation bar. Hoping LOS 17.1 has that. I also need to customize the notifications sounds for different apps, specifically Nine calendar and Messaging. REALLY hoping LOS does (or will) have those. I can do some testing.

Same Issue With Todays 08-April-2020 Nightly - Shuts Down

Just tried the 2020-04-08 nightly build of LOS 17.1 on my m8whl (Sprint / single SIM), and it installs and boots. I get past the boot animation, and begin the setup app. I got as far as skipping the mobile network and it showed the available WiFi AP's, then shutdown and rebooted to recovery. The phone is not activated, though has been. I simply activated the number on a different device, so nothing has actually changed on this device. I wonder if that matters? Either way, I re-flash LOS 16.0 backup in TWRP (I'm using 3.3.1-0) with pico OpenGapps9, and it's good to go again.

Thank you for working on this. I know it's an old device, but I cannot find a new device I want that has external storage, works on Sprint (Ting actually), and has an unlockable bootloader. Yes, I'm asking for suggestions. The new OnePlus 7 Pro may have some promise, but I need to know more about it. I *really* want an RGB full color notification LED. I don't think it has a microSD slot, which might be a deal breaker. That Qualcomm chipset is quite attractive, though.

After so many years only on HTC I switched from U11 to oneplus cuz HTC stopped with producing new phones..
[One (M8) Android Development] Alpha_Geek1:
This is pretty important, IMO. Yes, I know Google wants it not to be able to create directories on SD. Hell, they don't even want people to use external storage. Google be damned! That's why we use custom ROMs.

Thank you to the LOS team and our maintainers. This ROM is very good. Nice to see it evolving on this old device. Long live the M8! :)

My understanding is you have to break a bunch of Google-imposed file system security stuff that is baked in deep surrounding external storage. I sure hope someone breaks it, and breaks it hard. What they did causes real problems with app usage and external storage, especially for older apps.

The trouble is that it's really easy to use Google APIs, and when you want to do something like this, you end up having to 'roll your own' and do some (a lot?) of reverse engineering. You then have a one-off which can break every time Google changes something, and they may even create a specific counter-measure to break what you've done. That puts you constantly at war with an API you are trying not to use. I've been down this road.

I'm a C#.Net desktop and system developer (not mobile, not web), and I do some embedded work in C (Atmel/STM32) so I am pretty familiar with file system issues and the things vendors (Microsoft/VMWare) do to the file systems they use. It seems those who write operating systems for mass use don't even want the users to know they /have/ a file system.
