[Q] Verizon M8 ARHD 5.0, 5.1? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Anyone tried flashing latest ARHD to Verizon M8 yet? What works? What doesn't work?
The rom thread notes that "Verizon and Sprint variants not fully supported yet" but it doesn't clarify what exactly doesn't work, and I don't see any comments to that effect in the dev thread. Forum won't let me post there until I have 10 posts, so I'm asking here .
Thanks!

You have a Verizon HTC One M8? Radio (2G/3G/LTE), wifi, bluetooth, all works? Do you use Sense-6 or GPE? What custom recovery (Philz/TWRP/other)?
Thanks!

I believe Verizon support was added in version 1.3.0 onwards.
Edit: My bad, wrong ROM

"For HTC One M8 (Verizon and Sprint variants not fully supported yet)"

Okay, here's what I've done so far:
1) Install weaksauce and supersu to get temp root
2) Use 2nd firewater method to unlock bootloader (Verizon blocks normal htcdev method)
3) Install twrp m8_wlv version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717928
4) Took a backup with twrp
TODO: Flash a rom... (waiting on slow download)

Hey Andrew,
How did you get ARHD to work with CDMA? Mine can't find Verizon network. Edit: Does *find* it, but cannot register with it.

[Q] HTC One (M8) - CWM or TWRP Recovery?

Hi Guys,
I got my new UK/Euro version M8 delivered yesterday. I'm upgrading from a rooted S3 i9300 running CM10.
I've already unlocked the loader using the HTC tool but I can't find any versions of CWM or TWRP for it yet (not surprising as it's so fresh).
Has anyone managed to gain root access via any other means yet?
Cheers,
AsciiSmoke

Thanks, but that's for the 2013 version of the HTC One (M7). Has anyone managed to root the M8 yet?

That is for the M8.
Unlock, TWRP, push SU. (assuming non-verizon)

I wonder is the Sprint M8 going to get it's own forum like the old HTC Sprint phones did, or are these similar enough to keep grouped in one forum?

Yes...and the recovery CaptainThrowback has posted in there worked on my Sprint M8...after a lot of frustration with other versions.
It is easy to install as it is now included in the toolkit from squabbi located here.. http://goo.gl/UoMXgW
The guys over in the AT&T neck of the woods are running TWRP 2.7.X.X. Say its compiled from source not a port. I have a AT&T m8 so I can't speak to it working for you, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

[Q] Model Number For Flashes?

I have had the HTC One M8 for AT&T For 3 days and already rooted it (couldn't handle not being rooted).
I bootloader unlocked, and i have a recovery name as [openrecovery-twrp-m8.img]
all roms for this phone is in that codename , just m8.
not CA_UL_ETC ETC
I don't know what the model number is and what not to flash now.
Is every HTC M8 the same? Can you flash any ROM file to this phone?
I have no S-OFF yet. Not even kernel.
Please let me know, my last HTC Phone was the OneXL.
Sprint and Verizon are odd, but GSM phones are mostly all compatible.

So, if i flash cyanogenmod 11 that has codename "m8" It'll be fine on my ATT M8?

I think that should be fine. Have you checked the CM11 thread?

As @BenPope said check the ROM thread for this. Some ROMs require a specific FW, so sometime it has to be updated before you can use a custom ROM without running into any issues. To flash a firmware you have to be S-Off of course.

All VZW m9's shipped with the latest OS. We have not received a single OTA yet, therefore what you are looking for doesn't exist (yet). Once it hits, you will simply need to get a copy of the otapkg.zip and run it from your SD/internal storage to update.

No i am not S-OFF yet I believe the unlocked bootloader isnt available for VZW M9. The only way right now is by using a java card. Is there another way?

Thanks for the update! I came across a few sites online which mentioned Verizon has released the camera update. Any idea when will it be available? Also, are the manual update files available for verizon , and if so where can i get them??

Can ROM devs please support those of us using Unlocked on VZW?

Hi guys!
All of the ROMs currently released don't support the 'Preferred Network' option that is required for us to use our Unlocked 10's on VZW's network.
Attached is a screenshot of the required option, as well as the build.prop and /system/customize/ from the stock unlocked filesystem to hopefully help you guys add this feature. We require the 'Global' option to use our device with the VZW radio (as of now).
Thanks for reading, hopefully someone can come through for us

The Verizon branded version of Nougat for M9 is not out yet (AFAIK) The version number above is for unlocked devices....
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/htc-one-m9-update/
I'm pretty sure you'll know and see a ROM and RUU here on XDA once it gets released.
There is an unofficial port of that release for use on Verizon M9's here:

There's no official Nougat release from Verizon for M9 as of yet.
There's a brand new rom from two well respected developers just hit though,
should work for all carriers, it has Verizon in its setup options.

Thanks for fast answer!!
I read on post below that "you cant flash 4.x RUUs if your phone is currently using a 3.x (or any lower) firmware."
my device is 3.37.605.7 so in the other word i can't update it to 4.49.605.11 RUU in the post above?
i'm sorry if my question have obvious answer, but i want to make sure and not bricked my first android.
