Hey guys, how's it going?
Well, I recently bought an HTC One M8. It is the Sprint Variant I believe. So it was an unlocked version with ViperOne 1.7.0 installed. I checked for updates and found there was an update for 1.8.0, to which I instantly updated. I was aware that Viper 2.4.0 is available for the device too, hence my question is if it's okay to update to flash/update full ROMs to this unlocked M8? I am aware that I would lose the unlock on non Sense based ROMs though. So, is there anything I should consider/remember before flashing the full ROM to the device?
Another problem I am facing is with achieving S Off. I am aware about what all of this is as I have always been involved with such things but always with factory unlocked variants. Anyway, I tried the firewater method, for at least 10 times but everytime it says that it can't S Off my device. (Screenshot Attached)

Is there something I can do about this? Anyone who had faced this and resolved it?
Other than these two little issues, my final question is that IF in case anything goes wrong, would a Nandroid Backup restore my phone to the current state INCLUDING the SIM Unlock?
In simpler terms, can anyone tell me what all can and can not affect the SIM unlock on my device? Kernels, ROMs, Mods, etc?
I did a lot of search before posting this thread (two nights) and found answers to many other questions and doubts but not to these three. Sorry if these are all actually noob questions. Thank you!
Anyone?

Only way to achieve soff is sunshine in conditions like you. It works like a charm. if you would have problem with sim unlock, Then, flash Bad Boyz rom and follow the instruction at second post. Just past same path 4 days ago
I would definitely do all of this but now I have another problem. I attempted to change runtime on Venom 1.8.0 but now it wouldn't reboot. Doesn't go past "HTC One" screen on boot. Can't try any other ROM because my broadband is having troubles. *sad*

Their is a small zip to change runtime back to dalvik it's your best choice or reflash the Rom next time do a nandroid before doing that. Your phone will not boot because you have a tweak or theme/mod that art doesn't like.. good luck remember the zip is in the read me section of viperrom.

I had a couple of NANDROID backups but they didn't correct the issue either. In the end, I had to wipe system and flash the ROM again. Works fine since then.

Hello guys,
This phone is giving me headaches. Once I rooted the phone is not allowing me to to flash CWM and nothing at all but continue stock. Im looking like a paranoid for the Pit file and the flash rom for me to go stock 100% but there is nothing in the forum to well organized I guess that I have missed looking for it or getting lucky to find it.
Im on 2.3.3 right now and the more I do factory reset the more the superuser stays installed. Pleas advise how to successfully flash my phone from scratch for me to install one of the custom ported roms we have in the forum.
I came from Samsung Vibrant with an experience of more then 1000 flashes. I think the bad thing about this phone is that we have to navigate over 7 different forums to get the info correctly and is very confusing.
Guys I also dont have Network Signal meaning I cant use the phone.
Thanks guys very much for any help

I think you are in the wrong forum this is for the galaxy exhibit 4g aka the exhibit 2. I say this because I think the stock ROM that the exhibit 2 came with was 2.3.5

No forums, but there are threads. Just Google xda t759 stock and read around. I know that a stock Odin flash able package is available, but I don't remember where. Also post in their forums because although our phones are very similar I don't know the exact steps/files for your phone.

This is not my work.
This Rom is ported by spegelius. I've found this here: http://forum.slimroms.net/topic/100-galaxy-s4-active/
Everything seems to be ok.
Bugs:
720p video recording produces crap video(but 1080p works fine)
HDR
Download:
-Rom
-Gapps
Screenshots:
I am sorry I posted in General but i couldn't post in Development.
Thanks for making this more public, this way more people will get the chance to try it
Just one important hint, @spegelius didn't port it, he compiled that beast from Source, which is an important fact
I can confirm that this is a good, daily driver for sure!

Oh hey, thanks for putting this up . I never got around to it, didn't seem that too many users were interested about it. But good to hear it works for people. And about the build, i used LeJay's kernel sources etc to make it happen.
Happy to know about this! Already dowwloaded it but I need my phone working this weekend and I can't risk to have any kind of problem, I will surelly try it as soon as I get home next week.
Thanks a lot! Hope more people start working on I9295, my son's Moto G just got the OTA 4.4 update, lucky him!

What Android version is this based on? 4.2, by any chance? I was foolishly hoping that it could work with Safestrap for us suckers without the international variant.

It's 4.3.1. For non-international S4 Active, there would need to be proper kernel at least...

Install the rom? Flash it with CWM. Install the kernel? Well i don't know about other devices than Intl S4 Active, but inst it like, even if there was such kernel, it can't be flashed due to locked bootloader?

This looks good. Has anyone (besides spegelius) flashed it? I'm reasonably satisfied with my rooted 4.2.2 stock ROM and really want to move to 4.4. On my SIII I already had KitKat and now I have to settle with 4.2
Cheers
I installed this ROM but google play acts strange. It doesn't reinstall all my packages and still refuses to install for instance swype. I chose for the aroma gapps but will do a new wipe and try another gapps
Cheers
Must have been the gapps. Up and running now and reinstalling apps. Looks good
Cheers
I have several issues. My titanium restored Wi-Fi passwords are disappearing each time. The phone discharges as fast as it is charging. It will probably be empty after 1 hour on battery.
I think I will switch to my LG G2 I recently acquired... any ideas?
Cheers

I have the HTC M8 from sprint. I just finished rooting it and when I went to flash the new nightly (20140527) using TRWP, it showed this:

Did I do something wrong? If there's some way to add "m8_whl" to the list of devices, please let me know.

Usually I would get that message in the case of a bad download.

I tried redownloading it multiple times to no avail. It just refuses to install because ...
This package is for "m8,m8wl,m8wlv,m8vzw,m8whl,m8spr" devices; this is a "m8_whl"

... which makes no sense because I got my m8 from Sprint. Doesn't this mean that the device should be an "m8spr"?
Try using @Captain_Throwback recovery

Just open the updater-script in the zip file and add m8_whl to the assert line at the top.

It works!
Will I have to add this line every time there's a new update, or can it be added to the official nightlies?
Edit: I may have spoken too soon. My device was rebooting relentlessly. It would show the "Welcome to CM" screen, then google things would crash, rinse, repeat all in about 10 seconds. Then it went to just showing the boot animation. I managed to turn it off using pwr&vol+, but it somehow encrypted itself. Spooky.
Edit 2 (The return of edit): I forgot to wipe /data. No more crashing now, though my question about the updater-script above still stands.

Hello all
I am using the latest insert coin rom(tried all others too) with the latest elemental x kernel(tried different kernels too) the battery life is always bad. The screenshot shows the regular scenario. If I use screen a lot I get 8-10% per hour. I am using the cpu at 1.5ghz downclocked. Everything is hibernated and appops is preventing anything to keep the phone awake. The last option for me is to format the SD, I can't think of anything else. Or my battery is bad.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks. I read around about the ruu stuff but what exactly am I supposed to do, I'm not sure. Is it stripping down a rom and install it? Also do you think formatting the internal SD can do any good?

the RUU must match your phone
fastboot getvar all will give you the information you need to find the correct RUU
http://www.androidruu.com/index.php?developer=M7
You have to use RUU not OTA

Thanks for posting the link.
Once you have the ROM flashed there is 1 free Hidden Space app (Calculator) and 2 paid apps $0.99 each for Web Login and Clock ... these allow you to secretly access the hidden space. But you don't need the apps to create a personal space or a downloaded (Tor space, WeChat , on the website)
Hi
I would like to try this rom, but I would like to know if I can easily step back..
I'm currently using marshmallow, is correct to make a nandroid backup, then flash and test this 5.1.1 rom and, in case, flash my backup to restore MM?
Will this rom work with MM bootloader and radio or will it affect my daily use?

Hi Marcuzio81
Yes the ROM will work with your current radio and bootloader, just back up your current image , flash our ROM , Try it out, and restore to your original image. I also recommend you try a Hidden Space App which you can get from the play store.
Here is the link to the currently free Calculator app.

Can you provide details about the device, I assume its a Google Nexus 5 not the 5X, since the ROM only supports the older model. Can you also provide the version of the bootloader and radio.
Thanks
I confirm it's the fabulous, ever green nexus 5
My bootloader is hhz12k, I'm not able so far to check the radio but I suppose it's the latest one coming with MM AS I've flashed the google factory image...
You could flash back to factory 5.1.1 "hammerhead" and try flashing our ROM from there. I will see if I can reproduce your issue from MM.
