I rooted my m8 on stock android 4.4.4 and since the lollipop update rolled out, I applied my backup from TWRP and flashed stock recovery then relocked bootloader. Installed Lollipop via OTA, unlock bootloader and flashed TWRP then flashed supersu. So I'm on android lollipop 5.0 and rooted. I don't know what went wrong, my phone seem too laggy ( mostly when I'm trying to type on facebook messenger, every times i type a text it stacks for some times) And most importantly, some stocks application such us HTC sense TV and Scribble not working anymore. every time I open, it say " stopped unexpectedly ". I don't really know what I might do to get it fix, please advice me.
I have the same problem, basically. I have an unrooted, completely stock phone that got updated through OTA. Ever since the update the phone is lagging, the battery life is visibly worse, and the only visible change is the color of the quick settings and the appearance of notifications. Lots of people are excited and eager to update to Lollipop, but based on my experience I really regret updating. I wish there was an easy way to revert to 4.4.4, but unfortunately it takes too much time which I don't have at the moment. So I decided to wait till May, when Sense 7 is supposed to arrive to M8.
Many of the initial problems with Lollipop were solved by factory reset, but certainly not all. It remains to be lagging and frustrating. At least it's free. But on the other hand, if I bought it, I would certainly return it and ckaimed a refund. As it is, I just have to suffer through it.

ႈI guess, there only way to switch back to stock totally is to s-off but I am not sure if we can still apply nondroid back up of 4.4 stocks might work on lollipop loaded device. its so annoying ^_^
Facebook and Facebook Messenger simply have issues. The big problem is that when sounds are enabled in those apps they lag terribly running ART. ART is probably the reason why you're having issues with other apps, which would be remedied by a factory reset and reinstalling all the apps. I don't see any reason why you'd need to be s-off to flash back to a nandroid backup of 4.4. The only possible issue I could imagine you having would be compatibility issues with firmware, and I think that would require you to be s-off to revert back to, but I think 4.4.4 should work with 5.0 firmware. Can't say for certain though since I'm on Verizon and I'm not sure what carrier you're on, but I'm running 5.0.1 on 4.4.4 firmware. I've run several Sense 6 5.0.1 ROMs and they have been just as fast and even more battery efficient than 4.4.4.
You could always flash a Kit-Kat ROM while you wait for Google to address those bugs with the next release. You don't have to S-Off to go back to the older firmware if you don't want to.
If you want to stay stockish, I recommend Maximus HD.
My phone is turning worst and worst, now i can't even screenshot due to luck of storage it says. So I don't have to s-off to roll back ? All these issues are due to Android L or could it be becoz of me, I flash old TWRP ( 2.7). One more things, I do I flashed my local font on HTC ? I use all fontchangers and I even flash it via fastboot but it doesn't seem overwrite. I can't install busybox too.

Most of your issues are not Android L related but more on user side. Make a backup of your current ROM on ext_sd, make a backup of your internal storage to ext_sd or PC.
Change your TWRP version to 2.8.5.0
In TWRP select WIPE then FORMAT DATA - yes
Reboot recovery
Restore your backup

for me on lollipop on the m8. lot of features did not seem to work. like the nfc, screen rotation, g sensor, flashlight, and proximity sensor. so i tried to goto a custom rom and it still didnt work. anyone else have this problem?
For lag removing, disable Nu player in developper options.
As per the rest.. my M8 kicks ass using completely stock lollipop 5.0.1
No lags, no FCs, no misbehaving.

No issues here since I jumped to Lollipop. Then again, I'm technically not stock. I'm on Viper Rom.

Hello All,
Due to my endless frustrations, this might be a long one so please bear with me!
So I purchased a Verizon Global HTC ONE M7 from the States, I am currently in Nigeria and the only thing that makes me sadder and more frustrated than the state of my phone right now is the incessant terror attacks in the country! Initially, almost everything worked fine when i popped in my new Etisalat sim card into the phone, except for the mobile hotspot (which just conveniently turns out to be the one of the top 3 most important features in a phone for me - probably the feature I use the most) this message kept popping up about how hotspot couldn't be used without a VZW sim, etc (also with the non-verizon sim warning when the phone boots up). I tried all I could, eventually deciding to flash a new ROM to clear out everything Verizon and start fresh.
Enter Viperone 6.2.0 - everything worked initially, but after a few weeks i noticed if I did anything like watch a youtube video or download something over a few MBs 90% of the time the data drops (no visible signs like changes from E to H or 3g or the likes, everything looks the same, just that the data stops), toggle mobile data on/off and data connection is back. It worsened and became more frequent over time. Upgraded to Viperone 6.2.1, no difference, so i figured its probably the viperone rom.
Enter Cyanogenmod - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-oneplus-one-stock-rom-cm11s-verizon-t2857425 - and its the same exact issue from the beginning, so im guessing its not to do with the ROM at all (though there are one or two niggling issues with the ROM - cant change BBM display pic, etc)?! I've really tried to comb through the forum and see what makes sense that i could try without bugging y'all - I did a factory reset, wiped everything completely and its the same thing.
I've seen suggestions to similar issues like: flash stock recovery, update radio/firmware/kernel, flash back to custom recovery and some other things which are beginning to sound quite dangerous in my ignorance!! I did believe updating the firmware made sense but after digging deeper, i must honestly say i'm quite confused on what to do. what radio/firmware/kernel works with what software version, etc- most firmware that i've seen are 4.4.3 compatible, while this ROM is 4.4.4., some of them seem to be for stock ROMs only and a lot of other confusions.
So, I'm not gonna be a hero and brick my phone from trying to do what i do not understand, instead here i am, hat in hand, crying out for help after suffering for 3 months! Its really frustrating as, downloads break causing me to lose data, skype or MSLync calls always break and im beginning to look unprofessional to people! This is why I have decided to put up a post of my own specific to my case so i don't medicate for someone else's ailments. So please........ WHAT EXACTLY DO I DO??
PHONE DETAILS (typing it out as i've just realized on this ROM i can't take screenshots with Power+Home button combo anymore and can't be bothered at this point!!!)
ANDROID VERSION: 4.4.4
BASEBAND VERSION: 1.12.41.1112_2

Have you tried a stock version of sense? Essentially what our phone was meant to run. Viper uses a lot of custom tweaks for the masses, and sometimes carrier specifics get finicky. I would suggest santods stock Rom, bonestock, or ecliptic. I think nusense uses an international base and not strictly vzw, but you could also try that one...and santod can clarify about the details.
Hope you get it going.
Sent from my One.
Can you flash stock recovery from Santod's firmware thread and do a factory reset? It could be a corrupt nv partition which would only be fixed by doing a factory reset via stock recovery. (If you must, make a nandroid of system and data in your recovery of choice so you can restore your data if you wish).

So.. i found time to get to this and decided to go with your suggestion of Santod's stock rom... and now, i think i've done the unthinkable!! After WIPING EVERYTHING "All partitions except SD!" as the instructions stated... i attempted to reboot into bootloader and got a message saying "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot"... that scared me a bit, but i thought surely, it must be part of the process! I proceed to reboot to bootloader to flash the firmware and i cant seem to do anything!!
Fastboot is stuck on " waiting for device" for everything i try.
Also, i rebooted back into recovery and attempted to install the stock rom: i get the error message "unable to open zip file"..
Have i destroyed my phone with my own hands, people? :crying:

FALSE ALARM FOLKS!!! I decided to attempt flashing the CM11 rom i just uninstalled and it worked. Turns out its a known issue with the .zip file for that rom - i am now re-downloading from another mirror. Meanwhile the Fastboot thing was just a driver issue - though i'm surprised because i had all the drivers installed on the system and have used fastboot successfully - anyway i reinstalled the drivers and all was well with fastboot again.
NB: Don't get tired of me just yet please!

If doing factory reset from stock recovery doesn't fix it, it is most likely a burned SIM. It has happened to me. (Average 150+ GB a month in data, so I burn em easily)

Uz has it right, you need to flash a stock recovery and THEN do a factory reset, then reload your custom recovery and rom. I had the exact same issue before. Or you could flash an ruu file which would reset the partitions also.

Hey folks, apologies for the touch and go nature of this thread - i just don't have a lot of free time on my hands and other reasons..
Anyhow, i think I want to try out ur suggestion of flashing an RUU - I noticed that im unable to actually enter recovery after flashing stock recovery from Santod's thread (i flashed the latest three recoveries). I can get to bootloader, but when i select recovery, the phone goes black for a few seconds and then i get the RED TRIANGLE WITH THE EXCLAMATION MARK INSIDE, obviously something's wrong, few seconds later the phone reboots itself into normal mode. I did do a factory reset from bootloader, but issue persists.
So now to the RUU flashing issue - could you suggest one for me to flash?
By the way though, isn't flashing an ruu gonna take me back to stock completely (as in back to S-ON, ETC..)?
Thanks a whole bunch - IM DETERMINED TO GET THIS TO WORK!!!

That is in fact stock recovery man. When you get the triangle press volume up and power at the same time. You will enter stock recovery.
Any of my ruu will run fine. You won't lose s-off or unlocked status. You flash them in boot loader fastboot mode.

I have a T-Mobile Note 3, all stock, not rooted. I recently installed the lollipop update, and now my screen rotation stops working.
A reboot fixes it, but it will stop working again later in the day.
I have auto rotate on, smart rotate is not on, auto brightness is on (a search said this worked but it was for an older firmware).
Has anyone seen this or possibly know a good fix?
Wow, nobody else has seen this?

Reinstalling the lollipop firmware may correct it.
Odin, Kies or whatever method you used, try a reinstall.

I just went to Settings, General, About Device, Check for Updates and installed it from there. When I go there now it says the device is up to date, so no way to do it the same way as the first time.
Tostido has a full firmware zip available, you can download extract and reflash using Odin 3.09.
Find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59257327
This will reinstall the latest update and should correct rotation problem.

Funny thing is my wife has the same issue on hers. I guess we'll both have to reflash.
Is there a way to flash that toastido version without losing everything? I have a bunch of apps installed, pictures, memos to myself, etc.

sure there is... i suggest you to root your device... its very easy and means no harm unless you start playing with system stuff but basically it just unleash your phone full power.... and once you rooted you just install titanium backup which is the best back up ever (in my opinion) and u do a full system data/user data back up which it will save ALL phone and apps settings and data and you just save the titanium back up folder to your pc and then put it back once you done flashing... also be careful once u flash and you are reverting the back up since the error might be a misconfiguration somewhere... but u can choose manually which stuff u wanna restore like accounts messages phone call history and more... also remember to root back again and installing a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM so i can flash stuff and back up and get a better recovery experience and also u could flash the SD card write fix since on newer versions phone wont let you write data directly to a SD card.... hope it helps at all and good luck

Hi guys.
I'm still on KitKat, stock, rooted, custom TWRP recovery, S-OFF and such, firmware version 3.32.707.9. I want to know a few things about the stock Kit Kat update.
First, there have been battery life issues. How true is this? I can get about 6.5-7 hours of screen on time currently.
Next, I previously tried to update to Lollipop, but I noticed that several of the apps had changed, not to my liking, for example, the Clock app (I really like the moveable globe of the previous version). I have also received a prompt to update the apps even in Kit Kat, but I haven't done so. This also includes the previous version of HTC TV, which works perfectly fine for me as opposed to the new one which just asks us to use Peel remote (which is very buggy). So my question is, can I back up those apps with Titanium Backup and after updating, restore those apps? Would they work properly?
Finally, is the update necessary, or somehow better than Kit Kat? If not then I don't want to go through the hassle of restoring a stock recovery, updating then rooting again.
P.S. I just wanted to slot this in - when my M8 runs out of battery and switches off, sometimes I lose my entire custom dictionary. I have to restore it from my SD card again.
And speaking of SD cards, sometimes the SD card in my phone force-unmounts, and I have to physically re-insert it again for it to mount. What's wrong?
Finally, my screen looks very yellow. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to send it in again?
Bump. Anyone has ideas, guys?

Lollipop battery life on the HTC One M8 is certainly worse.
If you back them up and restore them they should work properly. I wouldn't see why they wouldn't, except for if certain code parts would have to be completely rewritten to work on Lollipop.
Why would you have to go through the hassle of restoring a stock recovery to update? Update your firmware and flash the most recent TWRP, it's as easy as could be.
Don't let your battery totally die out. That'll ruin its' lifespan.
DId you drop your phone a few times by the way? The SD issue could be certain loose/faulty connectors, but could just as well be a software failure. When it comes to the screen I heard that there's been people facing screen issues in terms of color balance etc. Have you had the issue from the start or did it occur later on?
Short history of what I've done/where I'm at now:
The History
Wanted to upgrade rooted D855 from 4.4.2KK to 5.X Lollipop
De-rooted using SuperSU. Rebooted, and went to update center to apply update. Message saying "Phone has been noted to be rooting. Software update not available for rooted phones." or something thereabouts.
Decide to factory reset phone. Does nothing.
Follow this guide (Link) to completely wipe and start fresh. All goes well.
Bunch of bloatware comes pre-installed. What the hell?
Decide to combat this by following this guide (The KDZ way) (Link) and this Image (3 UK variant) to attempt to get back to my original version.
Used this one-click root (Link) to re-root my Android 5.0 variant (question on this later)
Goes well pretty much; everything seems about right. However, here are the problems.
The Problems
I have rooted and have Titanium Backup Pro; tried using this to remove the bloatware. Doesn't do anything, and if I try to do them individually I get the message "cannot remove System app. Failed to locate the APK file." This is my #1 problem. I have a bunch of European apps that I can't pronounce, plus rubbish like 'Orange Antivirus'. Even things like Deezer is now pre-installed system crap, listed under the Software center portion of the LG Updates area on the phone.
My 3 splash screen no longer comes up, which is fine, makes the booting either faster or just seem smoother. However, it makes me wonder whether I'm on the right version of Android now; will I miss updates to future version of Android from hereon out?
Is Android 5.0 the latest update for the EU D855? I heard 5.0 was having problems on the G3, hence why I've updated so late. However, if I'm now stuck on the version WITH the problems, that's not good.
Bump; anyone? This is driving me nuts!
Hi,
1. To uninstall the antivirus you need to remove it from the phone administrators.
2. There should be at least the LG boot animation.
3. Yes. The latest update is still 5.0.
I suggest that you move to a custom Rom based on stock like cloudy 2.5.
Much better Rom and free of bloatware.

I gave up on waiting (the bloatware was driving me crazy, not usually so impatient), and just installed TWRP, wiped it and reinstalled a fully stock ROM, so all sorted now. Any benefit to using Cloudy 2.5 over complete stock? Any performance/battery benefits?
Thanks for your response though

Maybe I'll look into it then On another note, you're from Leicester? Where abouts you from?
My T800 is in a right state. I was running one of the first MM roms to be released in the wild, with root and twrp. But a couple of months ago, I mistakenly installed the correct official MM rom, breaking everything. Now I can't root it, install twrp and adopted storage doesn't work.
So I was hoping I could downgrade to lollipop, root, install twrp and then update to one of the root-friendly MM roms on here. Is it possible to do that?

By "broken" I mean, apps crashing, apps not installing, freezing, random rebooting, overheating. The sorts of things which drive you mental and, in effect, break everything.
I must have wiped and installed the OS a dozen times over the weekend. I was able to get the correct version of twrp and install it with odin, letting me wipe the system and data partitions in order to get a clean install. I restored all my apps, installed a system update. Then I installed twrp again, flashed the su zip and for some reason it would start freezing, reporting the sd card had been removed. So I eventually wiped, installed the rom, and then let Smart Switch install the correct version of MM for my tablet and just installed the really essential apps. Then twrp and finally su. I was even able to set half of my sd card up as adoptable storage (using root essentials app) and it is working perfectly now.
But I think its time I was looking out for a replacement tablet now. Although a great device at the time, and for a couple of years afterwards, it has become a bit long in the tooth lately.
In order to rule out any external issues, I'd use odin to flash the factory firmware (this of course will erase TWRP). Remove the sd card, and use the device for a while as is. If it works, then your past problems were some kind of software-related problem. If it still has issues, then there could be a hardware problem, like memory or the rest of logic board.

I think he's got it sorted now. Seems that's what he's already done.
