[Q] GPE 4.4.4 flash problem - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I flashed the GPE HTC One M8 4.4.4 ROM as listed in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706441&page=6
Before this I had CM11 M10 - I did the usual factory reset and so on / wiped data etc and then flashed the ROM via TWRP recovery. Problem is just after the Google animated logo when I get to the setup screen the device powers off and reboots after about 15 seconds. I've tried flashing twice.
Anyone any thoughts on this? I have the international GSM HTC One M8 so my device should be compatible?
Thanks,
Fintan

I usually get this if my SuperSu need to update. Try flashing updated SuperSu

Sure you are fully rooted? Try a root app such as no-frills, titanium backup etc to see if it fully works.

I had this Rom, just flashed the lastest recovery in fastboot,. Try flashing this in fastboot
check if the forum where you downloaded the rom matches to your phone...at & t one x is not the same like european one x's, because of the chipsets.
That could probably be the reason for aborting...
I have the lastest recovery buddy

Have you tried installing a simple mod, anything, to see if your system partition can get remounted with rw?
Another thing I would try is to install supersu if you're using superuser and vice versa, and update su binaries.

Have you flashed the kernel through fastboot?
No???

You need to flash the kernel separately using fastboot. HOX doesn't have s-off so the kernel isn't flashed in recovery.
Extract the boot.img from the rom zip and fastboot flash boot boot.img
I tried that and it kep me in a bootloop still, and its s-on

At what point does it loop?
If at the HTC logo, boot.img is probably still wrong, if later on, try wiping dalvik cache.

Firstly: This belongs in Q&A.
Secondly: What reason does it give for failing? It must give a reason of some sorts.

Try installing ROM again, go to install the ROM, then when it gives screen with swipe, untick the zip verification box then swipe to flash.

[Q] Constantly Reboots

I just got this phone yesterday. I rooted with HTCDev and then I got S-Off with firewater and SuperCID. Ever since I installed Android Revolution 8.1 it reboots constantly. I have wiped cache, did a fresh install even tried to flash CM, but the reboots are still there. I am on 2.xxx.xxx framework and have TWRP recovery. Any help? I think it might be related to memory leaks, but I am not entirely sure.
Did you do a full wipe before install.

I always do. No matter the rom I am flashing or where I'm coming from. My OCD doesn't handle dirty flashing at all.
Have you tried to flash img file from your Rom via adb. Did you make a backup ?

Are you on Verizon ? I don't know much about HTC One M8 variants but it seems some complication there. Maybe a restore to Verizon ROM/firmware can help you.
Anyway .. here is the Verizon thread if needed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8
You mentioned that you installed ARHD 8.1 ROM ... which firmware that you installed ? I know you are not a noob but sometimes people confuse the different of a firmware and a ROM

I'm not entirely sure. I will keep this thread updated, if I have anymore random reboots. I figured just doing a clean install would be a good start to resolve the problem; it always is.
Just had my first reboot. I think it might be due to greenify. Does anyone have experience with this app and the HTC One M8
Greenify wont cause reboots. Are you running a custom kernel and undervolting by any chance?

Try to downgrade your firmware to 1.54.x.x...or if you stick with 2.x.x.x try ARHD 9.1 to see if it makes any difference

Please help with TWRP access

I recently converted my unlocked m8 to a GPE and everything works perfectly. I'd like to flash the Skydragon GPE lollipop rom, but when I go into the fastboot screen and select recovery I get put into a screen with the red triangle dead android. I can reboot the device back up as normal, but can't seem to get around this into TWRP.
Any suggestions?
That's stock recovery, flash twrp then it will work

Thanks. I thought I had, but apparently it didn't take. I'll give it a go again.

If you flashed TWRP before RUU conversion to GPE, the conversion overwrites recovery with the stock recovery.
If you flashed TWRP after the conversion, maybe it just didn't flash properly like you said.
That's definitely the case. I'll reflash TWRP. Thanks guys!

Obviously I'm still a little new at some of this. I know to make a backup before flashing the Skydragon gpe 5.0 rom, but I'm curious; whenever Htc releases the gpe ota update, could I flash back to my current state and then do the OTA? Would there be any real benefit to doing that?

htc one m9 keeps on rebooting

I just rooted my phone yesterday and it keeps on rebooting when I lock my phone for the second time( I don't hold it) I installed the skydragon rom but I don't think that's the problem because I flash cm12 beta as well and it had the same exact problem I also have the latest version of twrp installed.

You have a firmware conflict and need to upgrade to the latest. You will get reboots running 2.x roms on 1.x firmware.
How do I do that

I meant to say that it shuts down after the second time I press the power button(not hold) I have to turn it on manually

Find out what firmware your device is using and make sure it correlates with the ROM. If need to upgrade go under "Android development" thread and find the matching firmware upgrade for your device/carrier.
