I'm going to maintain only one thread (universal thread), since its easier to manage. My toolkit supports this model. Download links and info are in the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065

V1.0.1 Released! 4-8-2014
- Added Support for Sprint (Use ClockWorkMod for the recovery)
- Clarified some steps to make it easier to understand
- Fixed some grammar errors
Download is in Post 2.

V2.0 Released! 4-19-2014
- Added Philz CWM for GSM models
- Updated TWRP to official builds for Sprint/GSM variants
- Added a few S-Off commands for those who have S-Off
- Cleaned the code up a little bit

Nice!
Thanks for bringing your awesome work to this model! I used your toolkit on my old incredible 4g. I will be checking this out next weekend when I have a day off. Strong work, you're a solid dev :good:

Before I attempt and brick my phone or something does this work with build dates 4/14/14 and later also?

I tried that before. Didn't work out so well. Every build needs a specific stock recovery. That's too much to deal with, especially supporting every model of the M8

Your ToolKit worked like a charm man. Thank you!

Edit

Done! Thanks! Now to rid myself of bloat.

Looks like I'll be rooting my phone after all. Have to say I don't mind this sense version that much ..

im on windows 8 and when I install the drivers I get an error drivers not compatible. then I reinstall and get no error but I get another error device not found.

I am running 64-bit windows 8.1 and the htc drivers don't install correctly, i get the error, "the driver installer is not supported for this operating system."
i googled for 64 bit version in case this one from toolkit is 32 bit but no luck.

Does anyone have a stock boot.img for 1.57 or flashable zip of the kernel?

I just bought my m8 on Friday, it came fully updated. Does this toolkit support me still?

Hellow Peep's it's been awhile since I owned an HTC but I found a deal on an M8 I couldn't pass up , my question is will this toolkir work on the latest update ,that is 4.4.4 ? Just rather be safe then sorry ......Thank's in advance for help , Much Thank's to the op , ive used toolkits like this on my N7 and N6 look's the same anyway Monday suck's let's just hope we all get threw it in one piece ............THank's JIm

I hope you find a solution. Got my M8 a few months after it came out and was rooted since and been running Viper. Rom is great, i acutally also had it on my M7 as well and it was a great ROM for daily use. Good luck.

[ROM] 4/6/2014 Stock Google Play Edition KOT49H.H16 - 1.16.1700.16

This is a Stock Google Play Edition Rom KOT49H.H16. It has no modifications besides being rooted and busy box being installed, Oh and I added an inverted stock MMS app with quick reply
System write protection has been removed on boot using @flar2's kernel module so you now can write to the system.
Credits/Thanks to @pasker17 for his time and patience and allowing all the poking and prodding of his GPe devices!
Thanks to @jmz for getting us a bootable recovery!
Credit to: chrisch1974 (I used his update zip/script and dropped my files in it)
Credit to @flar2 for the kernel module
Devs feel free to use as a base, just give proper credit
Updated 4/6/2014
MUST be bootloader unlocked and custom recovery. As of now I recommend Philz's touch recovery as twrp has been giving people issues
Philz recovery can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703223
1. Make sure you do a wipe if coming from another rom
2. Flash in recovery
3. If recovery tells you something about the rom wanting to flash a recovery and asks if you want to disable it select NO. that file is needed for supersu to initialize on boot if you disable it you will not have root access

Mirror: http://d-h.st/HVN
As this is a stock rom.. Nothing will be added.. No big reports taken.. this is how it came right from google with the exception of root and busybox being installed and the kernel module to disable write protection on the system
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you use this and brick your device or if your device blows up, implodes, or flames start shooting from it or it kills your neighbor's dog. Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible.... It was the other guy... I swear....

So from my understanding, instead of the conversion, which changes it completely to a GPe setup, this is just the rom and so does not resize the system partition. Is that correct?
Thanks!

So does this rom lack any data upon initial flash? If so, after the fix, does it still have LTE connectivity?

After I edited the APN I had full data including LTE.

Does this ROM support the features that the Sense Camera supported (i.e Duo Camera features, HTC Zoe and others)?

Gee thanks for the help. I would have never thought to Google something like that.... There's a whole lot of specifics on how to go about it with this particular Rom on this carrier. Seriously appreciate the generosity of your time.
No worries, got it figured out no problem, I'll have this available for all roms I release specific to the Tmo variant on the M8.
FYI, there's a few more steps involved to get everything T-Mobile related (apk wise) working on this or any of the builds aside from Viper.

Hey guys, I'm going to close this thread and ask you guys that you use the main thread in the m8 section (the ROM is the same) It's just easier for me to maintain one thread instead of 3 so head on over to the main thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441

Question about my HTC One M8 and Android L

Hello there XDA Developers forum.
I got a HTC One M8 on contract with Three (UK) and was immediately disappointed with HTC Sense, and so, followed a YouTube guide to convert my standard HTC One M8 into a Google Play Edition HTC One M8. This guide included S-Off, and allows over the air updates. Also, the Google Play Edition ROM that the guide recommended I flash to my phone is not rooted, so the end result that I have is pretty much an exact replica of a Google Play Edition HTC One M8.
I am certain the over the air updates work, because before I "converted" my phone it was on 4.4.3, and after it was completed, a few weeks later I was promoted with an Android notification to upgrade to 4.4.4, which just worked without any problems. On the notification it even said "4.4.4 for your HTC One M8 Google Play Edition" despite my phone not actually being a "real" Google Play Edition model.
My question is, will the process be the same when Android L is released? IE, When Android L is released, will my phone get a notification like before and just be able to update like normal? Or since it's a pretty big update, will I need to flash a new ROM onto my phone? I'm hoping the over the air updates will take care of it again, but hoping someone could provide me with some info.
Thank you very much in advance everybody.

you'll be prompted, and depending on your setup will determine if you should follow through or not. (stock recovery, untouched sys apps, etc)

I would not follow any YouTube guide, but the RUU guide on this forums. Don't have the link at hand though, as I'm not at my PC at the moment. Just search for it on the forums.
Following a video you'll never collect the proper knowledge of what you are doing and thus most of the time don't know how to solve a problem if one occurs.

Is there a particular forum for the htc m9 dev edition?

I've been stuck on the verizon s3 for a couple of years and I finally bought a new phone. Naturally I had to get the developers edition of the HTC One m9. So I am wondering if their is a specific forum for our phones? Or do I just flash a rom according to whatever SIM card I'm using that day?
Also even though it was purchased as a developers edition, can flashing the wrong kernal get me stuck with a locked bootloader again?

Your in the right forums for your Developer Edition M9, Are you still with Verizon ?
I have a bit of a repository for the DE stuff here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=28823
Any of the Roms in the Developer forums will work fine on your phone, I have tried Leedroid / ViperOneM9 / Stock with Goodies / and ARHD
with no problems.
I would be interested in knowing how you can get Verizon to work on a GSM phone if that is the case.

Awesome, thanks for the link!
I am still with verizon! tried the vzw sim to no avail and so far my m9 is just looking pretty. am still using my vzw s3 with no power button. I may go out today and get a t-mobile Sim card. I am definately dragging my feet because verizon does have the best coverage. But I will also find out if I SIM unlocked the s3. After the power button broke I went crazy with a few dialer code apps and I got to a point where I could manually input APN's. If that's the case I may invest a few bucks to have it fixed.
I was looking at you nicely organized repository and noticed you had a copy of the stock recovery. May I ask what you used to back it up?

Can you rephrase your question? I'm not sure what you're asking.
If you are asking about the 1.40.xx than as far as I know it is firmware for the international version. However you can flash it in Order to run some custom roms. I'm currently using it on my dev edition in order to run viper one.

AT&T ROM

I have noticed that in the absence of Cm and AOSP based ROM development there doesn't seem to be a huge difference in many of the ROM developed here.....
Has anyone any input on the best Rom for AT&T or the ROM that atleast mentions AT&T? I'm not sure that it really matters but it seems that most of the development mentions various carriers but almost never mentions AT&T

You're not going to find one as AT&T isn't carrying the phone. The US unlocked is it.
I've been using LeeDroid on AT&T and it's worked well so far. I'm gong to give Venom a shot when they put out the full rom with systemless root

Probably the best rom for ATT is going to be BadBoyz as it is based on the US unlocked rom. With any of the roms based on WWE (401) I don't think call forwarding or VOLTE works right now.

You may be very right --- in the last 24 hrs I have done fresh installs of both LD and Viper and both were acting strangely -- with the LD install most recently this AM having my phone go to H+ and wouldn't go back to LTE for some reason

I've been on LeeDROID as well.. no issues. The 4G+ icon is enabled by default for LTE. You can go into the tweaks app and change it. Apparently the international market uses the 4G icon for LTE but rest assured the LTE is working. [emoji106]

This is common because the signal mapping rules are different from EU and US builds. You have to make some changes to the customize/ACC/default.xml to get the proper signal mapping.
It shouldn't actually be HSPDA even though the it's saying it is. Your phone has the proper firmware and radio so it's processing the network properly but displaying it differently as the rules tell it how to interpret the signal.

Yeah it's been a comedy of errors for me in the last 48
I started out with LD ROM and then dirty flashed Viper when I first got the phone. Almost immediately noticed some marginal reception issues so I flashed the latest firmware. Stayed on dirty flashes
Then yesterday got my extSD reformatted took exFat so decided to try some clean flashes
Kinda had issues with reception after that..... Flashing the latest builds of LD and Viper. I saw some T-Mobile user post an LTE speed of 50mb down while I was struggling to get 1 or 2 at the most. Then had issues of phone switching to H+ and wouldn't go to LTE. Took an hour to update google maps!
Then today installed Elemental kernel and put the script in the su folder and lost signal all together.... Apparently a known issue on LD
Just been a strange couple days

Attached is the stock system/customize/ from the 1.53.617.5 build. You can flash this in recovery and it should fix all that. Just in case, make a backup of your system/customize folder (create a copy of the zip, replace my version with your stock and rename the zip, then you'll have a test zip and an OEM zip just in case).

In an effort to fix my list signal ( that was due to my ghost pepper script not being done properly _ I had not followed the OP correctly and the permissive script wasn't executing), I tried to change Fast Dormancy switching using LD Tweaks and my device just locked up. Wonder if this is all part of the same thing, or is all due to the scripting issue?

FastDormancy is a build.prop setting. The problem for you is the euro builds don't have the proper provisioning XMLs and .prop's to properly work on the US networks.

Stock 1.53.617.5. I already cleaned out the logging and chunda from the ROM. The only change I'll make is a deodex version when I get time to deodex the base ROM. None of the custom ROMs currently add any value IMO for US. Don't get me wrong, doesn't mean they're bad, but we have only 1 US custom ROM (BadBoyz) and it's not what I'd run.

I would tend to agree --- for some reason the little thing that I enjoy the most is the ability to alter Quick Settings tiles and more specifically I really like have a GPS (On and Off) switch in the quick settings. I even tried xposed and GravityBox for a brief period of time since none of the Custom Roms really offer allow the Quick Settings alteration like I'd like (except maybe ? Viper).
How did you "clean out the logging and chunda" from your base ROM? and is there a flashable zip for the stock ROM yet?? I'm not trying to get spoon fed -- I'm just curious , because I almost always learn something when I ask about methods , like this
Thanks

I use xposed and MM GravityBox to modify my quicksettings the way I like. It works good enough to get by.

I use TWRP to go into the system folder and delete:
app/Smith
app/QXDM2SD
app/instagram-stub
app/messenger-stub
app/CalendarGoogle (google app)
app/Chrome (google app)
app/Drive (google app)
app/facebook-stub
app/gmail (google app)
app/Music2 (google app)
app/PlayAutoInstallConfig-stub
app/HTCLogLevel
app/Videos (google app)
Priv-app/Photos (google app)
Priv-app/DemoFLOPackageInstaller
Priv-app/NeroHTCInstaller
Priv-app/Plurk
Priv-app/AndroidHtcSync
Then I reinstall the google apps I want from the playstore for a cleaner install to data instead of system. With an ODEX system it's a bit messy IMO with updates.
I'm not concerned with OTA updates so I'm not worried about modifying the system folders. We'll get updates from the community anyway so it's ok to clean these out.

Not a flashable ROM but there are base/stock TWRP backups of the system you can flash. Let me see if I can pull mine and I'll try to host it for you as it's already cleaned out, has HTCFileExplorer installed etc.

Hey I would love it if you were able to host yours in some way....
Probably a pain in the butt only if you have time

I'm travelling on a limited bandwidth connection. Let me work on this and I'll see if I can get it uploaded tomorrow.

You ever get a chance to do this ? You still running stock?
