Here is my dilemma, I recently unlocked and rooted my HTC One M7 for Verizon. I may not have performed a backup but I am oblivious to what the problem may be. I am a newb to rooting and unlocking so please spare me any negative feedback. S-off was successful using firewater. Phone is unlocked in bootloader. Phone was rooted through TWRP v2.7.0.0 and SU. After root was successful I did a factory reset then flashed CM11 with TWRP. CM11 installation was successful except for one problem. My mobile network is not available and a message appears on the screen(You need to refer to the SIM card instruction that came with your phone.) The CM11 file that I installed is: cm-11-20140407-NIGHTLY-m7.zip and after reading that the "Nightly" roms are not the most stable, I then flashed this one: cm-11-20140405-SNAPSHOT-M5-m7.zip. Here is what the Installation looked like in Recovery:
Updating partition details...
Full SELinux support is present.
Formatting Cache using make_ext4fs function.
Wiping data without wiping /data/media ...
Done.
Updating partition details...
Installing ' /sdcard/Download/cm-11-20140405-SN
APSHOT-M5-m7.zip'...
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Updating partition details..
Successful.
Following the successful flash, I then installed gapps-kk-20131208. Please be detailed in how I can fix this issue. Thanks so much in advance.
Have you ever updated to kk firmware? If your using a kk based rom, you also need kk firmware.

I don't understand. What is KK firmware? This may seem like a stupid question but I really don't know.
kk
I am going to feel really stupid if you meant kit kat and if you did then yes I have installed the version for kit kat 4.4.2

No he doesn't mean it has to do with the rom. Firmware is flashed separate from roms. Once you flash it, you don't have to worry about it unless a newer firmware gets released. Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 and follow the instructions on the 2nd post. Use 3.11.605.1 NO Boot.img firmware.zip since you'll be doing custom roms.

I installed this successfully but I still can't make or receive calls. I am wondering if the version of cyanogenmod that I flashed might not be compatible but I did not get a status 7 error when installing. I am also wondering why I got the sim card message when first installing cm11. The version that I installed is stated above on my first post but cyanogenmod has m7 and m7vzw, I can install m7, which I believe is for GSM but I have a Verizon HTC One. When I try to flash the m7vzw version I get the status 7 error code. I tried to do a fix for it but I may have done this incorrectly since I got a status 6 error code. Plz help. I need this phone for work.
You want the m7vzw, the regular m7 is gsm. Status 7 refers to an error in the update script or an incompatible update binary. Does it give a specific error with that status 7? You should also update your twrp to version 2.7.0.4b-santod. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407584851
Last i heard cm11 is only in preview and data and calls do not work. That may have changed though.
Error
I updated the twrp to v2.7.0.4b-santod, did a factory reset and tried to flash cm11 for m7vzw and was given this mssg...E:Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/Download/cm-11-20140124-NIGHTLY-M7VZW.ZIP' Setting performance mode OFF. Error flashing zip....etc.....
Why are you flashing an old nightly, and not the one from yesterday? http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=m7vzw&type=nightly
I think your issue is that your trying to flash an older nightly with a newer recovery. The newer recoveries have updated binaries that older roms arent compatie with. So either flash a newer nightly, or and older recovery.
If you want a stable rom, i would not use cm11, i would go with cm10.2.
Compatible
The twrp version you recommended and the yesterday's nightly don't work together. Do you have a recovery and a cm11 that are compatible that you can recommend?

First of all, apologies for such a question.
Im lost. Its been a long time since i browsed through this forum. I have my at&t m8 running slimkat 4.4.4 and twrp 2.8.1.0. Cant seem to update twrp, stuck on entering recovery. Right now i would like to update to lollipop but i dont knw where to start. Can someone please pin point me the procedures. What i need to do prior. Thanks in advance.
Update: I followed the guide to upgrade via fastboot. Successfully installed but every time I install a lollipop Rom I don't have signal. The only way I get signal back is if I revert with a nandroid backup sense. Under software info in settings my imei doesn't show up
Any help would be appreciated

Get a official stock backup, preferably a lower based one than your software is numbered now and update via official HTC updates again.

Hey guys,
Newbie here, looking to root my M8 running on Android 6.0
I've been reading a bit and came across first unlocking bootloader, any of you guys know what to do afterwards on 6.0 since the guides I've read are on M8s running 4.4 and 5.0?
I want to flash RESURRECTION REMIX v5.8.2, any help pls?
Also, does anyone know if this ROM supports Substratum theme engine?
Thanks a lot in advance guys!
To be clear, there is a difference between just rooting (stock ROM), and process for flashing a custom ROM. Main reason for confusion, is that you do not need to root in order to flash a custom ROM (contrary to some other devices). You simply need an unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery TWRP.
Before you unlock the bootloader, backup any of your data (off-phone to computer, SD, etc.) you want to keep; as the phone will be wiped when you unlock the bootloader.
After unlocking the bootloader, just flash TWRP using fastboot. You should use current TWRP version, which is 3.1.0-0 which you can get here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
After that, just put the desired ROM on the phone, boot into TWRP, backup your current (stock) ROM (in case you want or need to revert) then do default wipe in TWRP (data, Dalvik, cache) and install the ROM.
I don't know if RR supports substratum. Just check or search the RR ROM thread.
Also, questions should be posted to the Q&A section, not General. So I'll ask the mods to move this thread.

To be clear, the kernel flashes with the ROM on this device, and that is true with s-on.
There are older HTC devices, where you had to flash the kernel separately by fastboot, or have s-off (in which case, kernel would flash with the ROM). But none of this ever applied to the M8.

Thanks for the clarification, that's probably why i got confused (watched some older video on rooting, kernel, c roms and so on). So which parts of software (or hardware) would you want to manipulate with or change that would require s-off?

Always be sure to research the root/mod methods for your specific device (not just another HTC phone, etc.). Every phone has its own peculiarities and nuances.

Click to expand...

There is a number of modifications that require s-off, such as changing CID/MID, flashing modified hboots, manually flashing radios, flashing older version RUU ("downgrading") and a number of other things.
But for root, flashing ROMs, and most other common mods, just having an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery TWRP and s-on is enough.

Root and xposed is tow different things you need root for something and xposed for a different thing
for example you don't need root to have a working xposed framework ( some modules require root though )

In order for xposed to work, you need to flash the xposed framework using TWRP, period. It's not complicated, and it's stated in the instructions clearly.

Alright, i will ask this question.
Why do you need root? Why do you need s-off. Why can't you go back to stock and take the OTA to oreo first, hasn't t mobile released the oreo update yet?

Hello,
I got 2 Sloans from ebay that I had to do this procedure on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unbrick-root-twrp-fire-tv-2-sloane.3986303/ in order to get them up and running and they are, they are now running latest rooted rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/firetv-2-sloane-prerooted-stock-images-5-2-7-6_r1.3309783/ .
Which is great ! thank you XDA once again !
But I want to unroot and run latest stock rom which seems to be 5.2.8.0 (671761720). I tried all procedures to force it to update OTA, but it refuses and always says up to date.
Also reason for unrooting is some apps like peacock just refuse to work...
From what I understand I can just flash the stock unrooted rom via TWRP, but for the life of me I can not find the stock roms, or even a rooted latest ROM.
Any help is really appreciated ! TIA

I would recommend you to use this procedure now that you have TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-firetv-2-sloane.4222331/
After that, flash any of this ROMs through the NEW recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-firetv-2-sloane.4222331/#post-84353191

Really appreciate the reply. I tried the first link, and that didnt help, but I see the links to the original firmware so i might just try to install it via recovery.
I was able to unroot by flushing one of those roms and recovery is gone now as well. But it still does not go to the latest firmware... weird.
