Is the HTC OTA update to 6.0 still working? It's worth doing that first :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] The_Walking_Playground:
Hi,

You would need to update to Marshmallow firmware first to use the latest TWRP and flash this ROM. Did Verizon ever get the Marshmallow update?

TWP
[One (M8) Android Development] JesusXdaHTC:
Since I don't have Verizon anymore, the phone doesn't offer me upgrades, sadly. It was on Marshmallow when I acquired it, but after a failed TWRP restore from backup, I went out and grabbed the first seemingly stock ROM I could find, and it happened to be for Kit Kat (4.4).

There's probably a "semi-official" Verizon Marshmallow firmware out there to grab. Let me go a hunting and see what I find.

EDIT: Found something here at Android Sage that seems appropriate: https://www.****************/2016/0...m8-to-marshmallow-using-custom-files-ruu-ota/

My device is rooted and has S-Off (when it was on Marshmallow...think it should still apply even in its current Kit Kat state), so I think this is a good path to follow. Please send up any red flags before my download finishes in about 30 minutes :)

[One (M8) Android Development] JesusXdaHTC:
Thanks, BimmerLad. I had just completed the other download, but then got lost in the instructions for running "htc_Fastboot" since that appears to only come in Windows .EXE format (grr). I do have plenty of Windoze boxes to choose from around here, just prefer to do this sort of phone surgery on a Mac if at all possible.

Anyway, out of the myriad of VZW ROM restoration choices, I am going for the one I copied below. Please steer me clear if you think some of those other choices might have been better suited for this former Verizon customer! :)

EDIT: Reading more closely I see maybe I can just rename/copy the file onto the SD card and then reboot and avoid the htc_Fastreboot.exe altogether? Please confirm if that's the case and I will go that route.

EDIT: The "0P6BIMG.zip" renaming trick seems to have no effect in the stock boot loader. And oddly, I couldn't get the TWRP app to load the TWRP custom bootloader, even though the stock bootloader screen claims the phone is "Unlocked" (for the bootloader or the SIM?) and that the phone is S-Off. So, I seem to be stuck on Kit Kat, probably until I unleash some "adb" or "fastboot" or "htc_Fastboot" action on this device.

From Custom VZW Marshmallow firmware/nand/recovery/RUU etc thread:

Custom s-off only RUU (includes TWRP, has amazon apps removed+htc speak+OTA updater removed)

Will wipe internal storage !

Flash either by renaming zip to 0P6BIMG.zip and flashing from ext sd via hboot -or- flash via fastboot manually

Hi,

Those aren't ROM issues. Those are caused by the GApps you flashed. Please see the post linked here: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/de...-0-nightlies-htc-one-m8-t3976989/post80473005

Thanks,I'll try it:D
[One (M8) Android Development] JesusXdaHTC:
So far in this "return to Marshmallow" adventure, I've got TWRP 2.7 reinstalled, but it refuses to flash any of the .ZIP files I downloaded (see attached image). Newer versions of TWRP wouldn't boot, so that's why I'm on 2.7 right now. I've read in some other posts that maybe I need my System partition resized in TWRP, but I've not landed on specifics for how to do that. I've read on some posts that maybe I need to wipe my partitions with TWRP first, but I'm reticent to do that unless I have confidence that I will be able to get any ROM flashed on there (trying to avoid heading to brick land).

Some next-step pointers will be useful. When I first got the phone, it was already on Marshmallow so I never had to manually walk through steps to get it to move forward from Kit Kat.

Your help has been very much appreciated thus far!
[One (M8) Android Development] The_Walking_Playground:
Hi,

As I mentioned before, you can't flash a newer TWRP version unless you update to Marshmallow firmware, and you can't flash the ROM unless you're on said firmware and using the latest TWRP. So you

must

update your firmware for anything related to this ROM to work. I'm really confused as to how your phone was on Marshmallow but is now on KitKat? The solution is to flash the RUU that corresponds to your current firmware version, and take OTAs up to Marshmallow.

TWP
[One (M8) Android Development] JesusXdaHTC:
Yes. Lost context was my phone got soft-bricked when doing a TWRP Restore on Marshmallow, so my quickest path to recovery at the time happened to be a Kit Kat RUU. A year passes, and then I suddenly get interested in using this phone again for other purposes and I'm noticing you get a whole lot of APK install errors when all you have is Kit Kat.

SOOOO...since OTA is not an option for me (because I am no longer a Verizon customer), I did stumble on a couple of web pages that convinced me to take some smaller steps forward (to Lollipop, rather than Marshmallow). And I also gave up on the TWRP flashing and went with the fastboot flashing using the HTC's OEM recovery mode (info in second link). So the combination of the two links below has FINALLY got my M8 moving forward in time to Lollipop. I'll work on the Marshmallow update later, now that I seem to have a working recipe for this particular Android bake-off.

EDIT: Marshmallow update went butter smooth, and even preserved my Lollipop customizations (was expecting it to wipe since it was another RUU install). Somebody break out the chocolate bars and I'll bring the graham crackers!

And I'm certainly looking forward to joining you all in Pie and Q land, although I'm hearing Q may be more backporting than is worthwhile for this old but still quite stellar phone model.

The fact that you all are even willing to respond to my naive posts gives me the strength to keep forging ahead :)

[One (M8) Android Development] xhuz:
Good morning everyone,

soo, I have been using the rom now on a daily basis, and must admit that - for a beta version - its quite stable and has very few bugs/problems.

Those that I have noticed so far and which are a bit annoying for the normal user are:

- Search bar on the first (home) window is not removeable, but also not useable (cannot type anything in there)

- Most annoying one for me is the missing notification when a message arrives. There is no pop-up or sound or icon on the status bar.

- No clock shown on the lock screen (for me at least). Should it be this way?

I can live with the rest of them, but the message notification one is a very important one. I hope there will be a fix soon (or is there a workaround??)

Edit: What I mean is the

sms

notifications do not show, but viber messages notifications or similar are shown and heard, surprisingly.
[One (M8) Android Development] ashyx:
Have you tried another sms app such as Textra?

Also another launcher to remove the search bar?
[One (M8) Android Development] xhuz:
I tried Rootless Launcher once, and it removed the searchbar at the top, but it had its own searchbar which I couldnt remove either (dont want/need any searchbar on my screen).

As for the sms app, will try it and report. Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] Xinto:
Try CPL launcher, or Ruthless launcher (It's a modification of Rootless launcher, available on XDA Labs)
[One (M8) Android Development] BimmerLad:
*Deleted, glad you got there!
[One (M8) Android Development] xhuz:
Thx for the tip. Textra works fine.

CPL or Rootless/ruthless launcher do their job fine, and I can remove their search bar from the home screen, but they add some annoying stuff too, so I will live with the stock launcher for now.
[One (M8) Android Development] BimmerLad:
Can we not install the launcher from LOS16?
[One (M8) Android Development] toneyobaze:
I have the Sprint variant(M8 whl) but the phone reboots to recovery immediately after startup. And also I tried flashing gapps which gave me an error 70(no sufficient space) but I resized the system partition but it resulted in an error 20(gapps version not supported). Great job BTW.
[One (M8) Android Development] bgcngm:

[One (M8) Android Development] cexcells:
All phones can make emergency calls even without a sim as far as I know.
[One (M8) Android Development] Xinto:
Yes, they connect to Ration stations as far as I know
[One (M8) Android Development] ashyx:
Emergency calls means there is a network cell tower to connect to, but not the network of the SIM in the device.

APN's are for mobile data not calls.

To me the issue suggests the network isn't either selected in the mobile network settings or isn't being detected as an available network.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ayoseun:
Yeah, sprint is not in my country ,I had to unlock the device to use for my network, however this is not an issue because I'm currently running lineage 16.0 and i have mobile data working fine

Magisk v20 works, but Ad Away can't write the hosts file. Anyone a solution for this? Or is this "normal" for Android 10?

Otherwise a great rom, some little bugs excluded. For example the LiveDisplay does nothing and the accu symbol is always the symbol and the percent is only seen when whishing from top the menu down.

Use "Systemless Hosts" in Magisk settings,after a reboot you can now enable the Systemless option in Adaway.

Unfortunately, most of the 'other programs' for desktop sync that I've tried require activesync to be installed first. Intellisync and GW PDA Connect both use the activesync connection to the phone as just a pipe to the phone, as neither of them can open a connection to the phone directly.

Hey guys,

I bought this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33028336644.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.1f993e5f5E88oc

And I finally got everything to work smoothly but the SWC is not working at all. I had a 2011 subaru nav without the harmon kardon audio and I searched for like 2 days now and can't find anything that helps.

I went into factory settings and tried to reset everything I wound up messing up all my buttons on the HU and flipping the screen etc.. I fixed it but it was annoying at 10pm lol.

Any tips to fix this? One of the main reasons I got this was for SWC plug and play.

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
I dont have any experience with Dasaita Head units; I only have experience with ATOTO. That said, I did install an ATOTO Head Unit into 2011 WRX with factory-installed Nav similar to yours. I have the same buttons on my steering wheel as you do. I was able to get the SWC working with ATOTO.

I looked at your video and it seems the Dasaita Head unit is not sensing when you press the SWC buttons on your steering wheel. So this might be a SW issue in the Dasaita, a HW problem with Dasaita, or a wiring problem in the Dasaita harness.

From the link you had posted, there are two harnesses available (DXY022 and DXY029). I assume you have DXY029? It looks like this harness should be totally plug-n-play compatible since it has both the 20-pin and 24-pin connectors for Subaru. Since it's not working, it is possible the harness is not actually compatible with 2011 Subaru, and you may need modify the harness. Out of curiosity, is all the other functionality of the 24-pin connector working (like reverse camera, Bluetooth microphone, AUX audio and video input from the console box) ?

A few ideas to start:

Does Dasaita have any tech support and have you reached out to them? This is a long shot but worth a try to see if they have any suggestions.

Are the wires on your DXY029 harness individually labeled? If so, are the wires labeled with SWC attached to the correct pins on the 24-pin connector?

The pin outs on the Subaru 24-pin harness are documented in this thread.
[Android Head-Units] honeyp0t:
Hey thanks for the response, this is coming straight from an unmodified headunit. Had the same one since I bought the car and i'm the only owner.

Yes, I got DXY029.

My car does not have AUX but it had video in and out that i made work as AUX. It also had a cigarette lighter in there that works.

All bluetooth works, apple carplay works, audio works, radio now works after I bought an adapter (although the reception is horrible). SWC is the only thing not working and yeah it looks like there is no connection at all. I unplugged and plugged in the harness a few times to make sure I was making connection, still nothing.

I can try and open it again and look at it but the way it was plug and play wouldn't let me plug it in upside down or any other way, so idk why the swc wouldn't connect if everything is lined up.

I've been on tech support with them for like 4 days now and they keep saying they'll have an engineer look at it but are taking a while. That nasioc url says 404 for me.

Thanks for your help so far!
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
Yes, I agree since the Dasaita was plug-n-play, there's really no way you could have messed up the connections. Since it's not working, i'd say it's definitely a Dasaita problem -- either their SW or their HW or their harness isn't really plug-n-play for Subaru with Nav. I'd push on Dasaita to either fix the problem or provide you the needed technical support. You'll need a description of the Dasaita SWC circuit and especially a wiring diagram of their DXY029 harness. Lacking this information, you'll be stuck reverse-engineering their harness or living with a broken SWC.

The good news is that the Subaru SWC for your STI is quite simple -- there are only 2 wires involved which are found on pins 3 and 15 of the 24-pin connector. There is no reason why we cant get this working if Dasaita helps. The amount of resistance between those wires will vary between 4.7K ohms (no key pressed) to 22 ohms (mute button pressed). Note again that Subaru SWC does not have resistive path to ground.

BTW, this is the NASIOC url i meant to post, which has the pinout for the 24-pin nav connector for Subaru 2008-2011:

[Android Head-Units] honeyp0t:
Got it! Gonna keep pushing on them to see if they can provide any of the details. Or maybe send me a new harness.

EDIT: they don't seem to be very helpful...

This is what they're sending back to me:

"hi

they said have installed some of the same model , and it works after set the steering wheel key functions on the head-unit , it should fit"

I took out the radio again and tried to replug everything back still no good.
