Empty phone storage for HTC One M8

Hi all, first of all...sorry if I did not provide enough information...I am first time doing this whole flashing thing on my own...
My phone's CID number: HTC_044
Version main: EMPTY <<< is this normal?
Version bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
Using stock ROM i suppose...didn't flash any other third party's ROM before
My phone was rooted for sometime and lately I want to upgrade my phone to Lollipop...I thought I need to unroot first and therefore I found solution online...everything went fine and I was able to upgrade to Lollipop using the official way (update through phone).
However, later on I was trying to root it back...tried to download SU from Google Play and it just can't install properly...I then thought have to re-do everything again (restore back to basic OS version).
Then this second time I do, I wiped the data, cache, and dalvik cache (I did not do this for the first attempt). Then things start to go haywire...my Android files are not going into the internal storage...instead...it is being installed in my external SD card.
I then tried numerous time flasing back to basic OS version (Kit Kat 4.4.2) and update to Lollipop again...still no luck...
Until yesterday I thought everything worked out fine...and I tried installing Facebook...it says cannot install...
Can anyone help me on this? I also not quite sure what went wrong...hope you guys can enlighten me...will try to provide as much information as possible.

That is not the proper way to root. Installing SU from the store does not root the phone. It just install the app, not the SU binary.
To root, unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and flash the proper version SuperSU zip in TWRP.

Its not clear to me what you did, but it might be best to RUU to full stock using the link I provided in the other thread you posted to.

[please close]Can't flash any other rom after flashing the Android 6.0 gpe rom

Hey guys, hope someone can help me. A few days ago i've flashed the new android m gpe rom and everything was fine. Then somehow i lost root access and tried to fix it. Unfortunately, i'm not even able to flash the fixed rom that was posted a few days later, so i decided to come back to the skydragon sense rom. And for some reason i can't. I try to flash the .zip, it opens in aroma installer, everything goes fine until the installation itself starts. The rom starts to flash, comes to ~20% and then the system just reboots. I've tried both twrp and filz touch, nothing helps.Also supersu doesn't flash properly. I'm not really professional in this, so i might just do somethng wrong, hope someone can help:crying:
Btw i'm s-on.
UPD: I've made an advanced wipe and the everything works now, so if you have the same problem then just try to do the same, see if works.

Did you flash (via TWRP) the GPE ROM, or do the full conversion via RUU?

Would this ROM work on Verizon HTC One M8
Hi all,
I've tried to just flash the 6.0 mm rom on my Verizon device, it is s-off with latest firmware, but it just bootloops to the bootloader, then I tried installing the 6.0 firmware and re-flashing the rom but still the same, after that I tried the full conversion and it did not work got same issue, after that just tried to go back to sense installing back the sense firmware and a different rom and I got same problems as fellow above,
My solution was to install RUU from external sd-card from bootloader by renaming the zip file to 0p6bimg.
If someone made this Rom to work with a verizon device I would appreciate the help

Are you still able to go into TWRP recovery and are you also rooted?

Just read your edited post, this is a weird issue, I am sure you factory reset through recovery before installing the new ROM, I normally go on advanced wipe and tick all the boxes and my installs go through perfectly, I also installed GPE 6.0 but I realised it wasn't rooted so I just went back to 5.1- sky dragon, does TWRP say anything just before it reboots? e.g. Failed or something else?

This is a big red flag here. Philz hasn't been updated in ages, and older versions of TWRP won't work on Lollipop firmware (if you tried an older recovery like Philz, it occurs to me you may be using an old version TWRP as well).
What is your hboot number and baseband number?
You said "can't flash any other ROMs" in your title; but then only reference Skydragon. Did you try any other ROMs; if so, which ones?

ROMs won't work on Verizon, unless they specifically support Verizon (or else you need to change kernel and jump through some other hoops to get it to work).
The partitioning on the Verizon M8 is different from all the others. You're lucky you didn't brick the phone with the GPE RUU.

Will try to erase everything later,maybe tomorrow. Twrp says everything's fine, and aroma doesn't say about any issues, just reboots. Well, when i try to flash supersu for example, it goes fine, but the part when twrp places files(or what it does i don't remember), goes just a few secs, when usually it takes much longer on that stage, so i don't know what the problem is. Anyway, thanks for an advice, will try that and tell if it helps or not

I tried filz just to check, because on skydragon everything was fine.
I use twrp 2.8.7.0
hboot 3.19.0.0000
radio 1.25.21331147a1.o6g(if that's what baseband is)
tomorrow i'll try everything you guys advised, see if there is a solution. thanks for the support man

Yeah, it is normally recommended to do a full wipe or factory reset through TWRP before installing a new ROM (back up your stuff through google), never led me into any issues.
I don't know if this is related but when I was on 6.0 GPE, TWRP notified me to install SUPERSU, i had a test to see if it would work, but ended up with boot loop, a simple factory reset fixed it and I went back to 5.1.
Let me know how it goes when you wipe or reset and then try installing!

Happy that solved your issue, it is normally said that to install a new rom you have to do a full wipe before hand, glad it worked for you though

You mean flashing SuperSU after Skydragon (you don't specify)? If so, its not necessary, as all custom ROMs are pre-rooted unless explicitly noted.
Also, older versions of SuperSU won't work on Lollipop, so depending on what version SuperSU you tried (again, you don't specify), that may have been the reason for failure.

I wouldn't be so sure, if the OP didn't state it.

I would caution users about following this device literally. It is not necessary to wipe internal storage and/or SD card when flashing a ROM (although particular users may have reason to do so for specific reasons). And if the user has their nandroid or ROM.zip on that partition (and they must have the ROM on one of those, unless they intend to sideload it), its going to get wiped out; causing some confusion and probably panic.
The advice I normally give is: Its called "Advanced" for a reason, and don't wipe it unless you know what the result will be; and you have a legitimate reason to do so.
For instance, I've lost count of the times folks have posted that they wiped system, and don't understand why the phone will no longer boot into OS. Or they wiped internal storage or SD card; and didn't know that it would wipe out their nandroids.
The TWRP default wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) says "most of the time, this is the only wipe you will ever need" and it says that for a reason. If one runs into problems flashing a ROM, they might elect to wipe system. So like I said, a legitimate reason to wipe a particular partition.
But on the other hand, I've done a countless number of ROM flashes on a number of devices (including Skydragon), and never wiped any partition outside the "default wipe", and never had any such issues. Even wiping system (which many swear by) I suspect is often a placebo. When you flash a ROM, system will be wiped by definition, so doing it manually is redundant.
I suspect the failure by the OP was not wiping data and/or cache (they never specified they did that originally or not).

Thats true yes, i dont think I made it clear to do the default TWRP wipe first to see if it would solve anything and then try advanced wipe if all fails, but again with caution.

After reading a litte I've got one question...So if I want GPE rom do I need to convert my phone to GPE or just to flash the rom ?!

Can't flash any stock rom

hey ppl..
i've used aosp roms for a long time.. (had stock LP before) but i cant manage to boot any stock rom (via twrp)
bootloop.. no error... tried diffrent roms and kernels.. no problem for aosp roms..

Make sure they are bumped

Full wipe before flashing new rom because old data/dalvik/cache can cause problems with new rom. Do full wipe (system,cache,dalvik,data) before installation & clear dalvik/cache after installation.

Did you try to flash stock rom (kdz or tot) from lg flash tool? If no then try may be something wrong with your software or bootloader. Remember to do CSE flash.

Swipe to lock

For some time, I have one problem which I can't fix. I mean, maybe I can, but don't know how. Since my OP3 arrive to me, I'm playing with ROMs and I tryed almost everyone for this phone. I think that when I once installed FreedomOS, I by accident selected in Aroma "swipe bottom left to lock screen". But that "feature" still persist in my phone despite of wiping system and changes ROMs. Every custom ROM that i tried have this issue except these which are stock based. Can anyone help me?

What kernel do you have? ElementalX and some others have that feature as well

That's the main problem buddy, I am not using any of custom kernels @KeelinTy

Hmm. When you installed new operating systems, do you dirty flash or wipe the entire phone and then flash?

Yes, everytime I'm doing clean flash

Could possibly be something going left over in the partitions after flashing a new image. If you really want it gone you can wipe all of the partitions from Fastboot. My freedomos boot logo would stick around until I did that

Okay then, how command I should write to do this?

Fastboot erase system
Fastboot erase boot
If those don't work try replacing erase with format. I can't remember which works with which partition since I haven't done it in a while.
I'd suggest only doing this when youre ready for a clean install of the OS since you'll have to replace all of your data as well

[ROM/FW][STOCK]LG V30 (Joan) Sprint LS998 30A TWRP flashable firmware (incl. ROM)

LG V30 Sprint LS998-30A ROM​Hi!
This Rom is 99% Stock. Most recent TWRP should first be installed. Then you can install this Rom and have Oreo with working TWRP.
This zip is created from the original KDZ.. It is made by me flashing my back to factory zip to lose TWRP and root and taking the OTA and then using lgup to dump all the partitions and then making a flashable zip. It contains almost the complete 30A firmware, but the partition table rewriting part and recovery image is removed. I changed the system.img, so you do not have to reinstall TWRP (recovery-from-boot.p deleted) when ROM is booted. I also changed the partition size of system.img, so the vendorized people can install this too without having problems because of a too small system partition. This is a continuation of westwood24's idea and work, I've updated it to the newest fw version and edited / advanced it a bit. I followed his idea and made this for users who can not take OTA's because they have Custom Recovery / Root installed.
​
Features
[*]Stock build made from official KDZ
Made from me taking OTA and dumping Partitions
Stock Build.prop (only 2 extra lines added for DTS, full weather lockscreen)
[*]Unrooted
Latest Canary Magisk Pre-installed (19.4 -087b451e (19308))
system.img modified to keep TWRP
System image size shrunk for being able to flash this on a smaller system partition, mainly caused by vendorizing
Removed dm-verity
Removed rctd (LG's root checker tool daemon)
Enabled opt-encrypt, it's your choice now if you want to encrypt your phone, it's no more forced. TWRP now is capable of decryption (both AOSP and stock) since a few versions
Installation
What you need
Unlocked Bootloader [How to do]
Working TWRP installed (should be installed already, otherwise you wouldn't need this zip )[Link to newest unofficial TWRP]
[*]When you need Root, Latest Magisk [Download]
No Longer Needed on 30a
NOTES
Starting with 30a
Please make a full twrp backup in case anything goes wrong. if after installing you lose your texts or your launcher changes back to the default stock launcher or some other weird bug like that, restoring just your DATA backup will fix it. If after flashing 30a you experience random reboots immediately after booting, DO NOT worry. This same thing happened to me and i believe that its just finishing the update with sprint. When this happened to me, I could see the Finishing Update notification in the pull down. My device rebooted about 3 times and in some cases became extremely laggy and i had to force reboot by holding vol up and power button . After the 3rd boot everything settled down and became stable and no reboots since.
LATEST ZIP
john-fawkes.com LS99830a.zip [Click to Download]
OLDER ZIPS
AFH ZIPS [Download]
How to install
When you are still on Nougat,
you should start fresh: Reboot to recovery using button combo or reboot app (needs root; btw, Magisk offers this possibility too: Menu -> Modules -> three dot menu top right - Reboot to recovery)
Then flash this TWRP.img via image flashing function in TWRP, reboot to recovery again (for fully working new recovery) and do a backup, then copy this backup to your PC.
Then initiate a factory reset. Wipe your system partition too in TWRP advanced wiping menu, copy the 30A firmware zip to your SD and install it. Reboot and enjoy
From Oreo:
For clean install: Factory reset and wipe system
You can also keep your data by simply dirty flashing the zip. *Be aware that problems may occur, maybe you need to do a factory reset to start fresh*
Flash the 30A zip, then Magisk zip when you need root, then reboot to System = you're DONE
P.S.: could be, that you first need to boot up your fresh install and set it up before you can flash magisk.No Longer Needed on 30a. Just Flash 30a Zip.
At the first time you boot to system, it can be TWRP says No OS installed. You can ignore it.
If TWRP asks if you want to install SU, hit no (in newest TWRP SU is disabled, and the option to install the TWRP app is disabled too.)​
Rom Version
Android Version: 8.0 Oreo

Sounds good :good: btw if anyone hears about us998 kdz updates please let me know. That's next on the list. While I'm waiting on that I'm going to finish the magisk module for @Whiskeyomega audio mod. Got permission from him to not only turn it into a Magisk module but im using xmlstarlet to do it. Xmlstarlet is a xml parser. It allows on the fly editing of xml files. This will allow the device to keep its original mixer_paths xml and my module just add the modifications in. This is extremely useful since whisky and myself both have seen LG deploy multiple mixer paths xmls. Why? No idea. Every regions mixer_paths is different. Not by much. But in my head patching is ALWAYS better than replacing :good::good:

Thanks man!
I have been having too many weird problems on my 21A and was about to do a wipe and clean flash of that one from back in May, and wasn't looking forward to it. I've been using the same system partition for probably 3 months without resetting anything.
I'm excited now that I can flash an updated version instead, now! Ill try it in the next 2-3 days and let you know if anything feels odd (I don't suspect that since you say it's about 100% stock).
Thanks again for your work, and taking the time to upload a TWTP flashable version :good:

Before this one I was using the stock Sprint 21A ROM that @JWnSC shared in his US998 to LS998 guide here.
I never could get an AOSP ROM to work the way I wanted on a LG V-series phone, even though I still try every 2-3 months, going back probably 4 years. Especially now that Sprint has RCS and VoLTE activated on their Network, I don't see an AOSP ROM on this device working with those two things functioning any time soon, if ever. That and the DAC not being perfect are the reasons I'm still on stock LG.
I wouldn't ever recommend an LG V-phone to anyone on Sprint who plans on using it as a daily driver with AOSP. Those LTE features will probably never be supported.

Thanks for the reply. I'm also running that same 21A ROM.. I figured a dirty flash would be ok,.. according to the OP dirty flash should be fine.. will try in the next few days.. As far as AOSP ROMS I've stayed away from them after reading about all those issues.. I've never been a huge fan of AOSP ROMS but in the the past I've tried them out on other phones just to flash and try something new...

I have not seen any mention of this yet, but I would like to mention the fact that that most of the major LG stock apps have updates to them on apkmirror. Camera, QMemo, LGHealth, LGBackup, FMRadio, SmartWorld, Gallery3D v7.0 and a few others.
I install these apks then use LP to integrate them into /system . You must put magisk into core only mode when you integrate the updates into the ROM, otherwise you'll just get errors like "not enough space on target".
I actually made TWRP flashable zips for all these updated apps so that you can just flash them in recovery and not worry about having to "integrate" anything. If there's enough interest in these zips from others, I can upload them to a cloud somewhere and share them with everyone.

Compared to 21a, is this worth the risk? Does it have a new radio? Could someone post their baseband?

I seem to have lost LTE on a dirty flash ... Is there something else I have to do with the Sprint modem? Baseband is Def different
Perhaps I am just getting bad LTE reception today, but I am only getting 3g...odd

I've been running this for a little over a week now and I dirty flashed between us998 20e ls998 21a and this 26a and I've had lte with all 3 the entire time. Haven't switched to 3g once
