I just tried to flash the Telstra (Australia) SBF. No info comes up in file properties and it gives an instant 'failed flash' message.
I am a bit stuck- i can only flash the China Froyo and the GB Froyo, the only 'Fixed' SBF I can ever flash is the 2.2GB_NoCG_31_39.sbf -(Higgsy fix). The China rom is the first and only Froyo rom I flashed with the above fix.
1a. :I want to know why I cannot flash 'fixed SBF's' that come with JBoogie, ADXLmod, barebones etc roms.
1b :Why do I still have to use the 'Higgsy fix' 2.2GB_NoCG_31_39.sbf? It appears that I am somehow locked to it.
1c :Is it because of the Telstra rom I am on- with all rom flashing instructions, it is mentioned eg 'if you are on 2,21 or 2.34 fw etc- no reference is ever made to the 2.26 fw.
2: I want to know how flashing a rom without the corresponding SBF actually affects the operating of the rom- eg: I get random reboots, black screens, freezups=- is this likely an issue with the rom or because I cannot flash the fixed SBF.
3. Will restoring a Telstra nanodroid on top of the China Froyo SBF that I am running, then applying the fixed Telstra SBF that racca graciously provided make my Defy exactly like stock- or will there still be remnants of the China Froyo etc rattling around under the hood and potentially affecting stability and continuing to affect my ability to flash fixed SBF's as per Q 1 & 2.
4. Does anyone have a FullTelstra SBF that works unlike the one already posted on XDA.
I have tried renamimg and moving sbf to root folder as per a suggestion for 64 bit windows, though i am only on 32bit, it didn't work for me- 'start' is still greyed out in RSDLite..
I have also tried different rsdlite versions.
I welcome any other suggestions or questions.. At least I would like to know what is going on and how it affects my phone as I have spent hours and hours searching these and other forums and am none the wiser..
Cheers

Accidental 2nd post-ignore.
what exactly are you trying to do?
i can't make much out of your long and pointless statements.
be specific about what you need, then maybe we can help.
all i can understand is that you might want the fixed sbf, so here it is.
http://mir.cr/6MJBVDCN
Thanks for that, pointless is a bit harsh though, long maybe- i was trying to give some background to prevent 'have you tried that, just do this- when it is clearly not applicable to my situation.
I will try to put it in point form.
I hope that is a bit clearer, but it is a complicated situation- there are alot of threads dancing around similar themes, but I cannot find specific answers to these questions- i can't see how I could provide less information without having 5 pages of people directing me to posts that I have already looked at but aren't applicable, so yes it is a bit long, but by doing this much misdirected effort is saved by myself and those helping.
Thanks again
Looking at my original post again, it was hard to see what I was asking, thanks racca.
I just restored the Telstra factory reset nanodroid- the start button was greyed out with the Telstra SBF , so i can't use it. Had to use the 'Higgsy fix' to get it to boot. Weird, i just don't understand it.
To be honest, with all the eventual issues with any rom i use, i would prefer to go back to stock (i will have to put up with the grey status bar, short battery life and no flash). I am tired of getting crashes at the most inopportune times.
Can't wait until the bootloader is fully cracked- I have put Gingervillain (CM7 base) on her Desire, which is much more stable than any rom when i was using it.
Update- it just won't boot now, have to reflash the China Froyo SBF, looks like I am stuck with daily @ 3x daily reboots, bluetooth that works 60% of the time, dropped calls etc....
Change SBF file name
Hey there,
I kinda have the same issues as you do, I think...
The RDS lite gave me an instant ROM-flash error when trying various SBF's. I simply renamed the file name to an SBF file name that was working, yes it got a little confusing... first I renamed the original working SBF to *.old.
Suddenly the flash process was working, I've renamed SBF-files on 4 different occasions in order to get it to work.
I'm not quite sure whether you have this issue or you have something different going on, but feel free to try it.
//Dave
Sounds like a plan, I will give it a go. Thanks.
Thanks Dave69 and Racca, i just renamed the TElstra fixed sbf to the higgsy fix; restored the stock nanodroid and flashed it and it worked. It at least gives me the confidence to flash others now, but will sit on this for a bit- don't have time for more tinkering this weekend.
Titanium wouldn't work with the Telstra rom- said it had restored apps, but wouldn't restore evn one.
Thankfully I got Barebones running, SBF and all. Looks great. Thanks guys.
I would still like to know what's going on though, I haven't tried the TElstra full SBF with the rename yet- it had a different issue than others- just failed. May try again later.
Sounds like you have the same problem as me, was on the telstra on. Not being careful enough I flashed a non downgradable 3.4.2_155-002 sbf. So now I can't downgrade back to the stock Telstra one. I have tried both nandroid backups and flashing the stock telstra sbf and neither work. so am stuck on this rom running JBoogie GingerBlur
Not compaining, for a blur rom it is quite fast, only thing is I can't downgrade back to telstra if the phone needs to be returned for anything.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
Try following the renaming method-though i had titanium issues, it os enough to get me through a warranty claim- i did it before with the same nanodroid backup from xda. Btw, i just flashed the 3.42 out of frustration and it let me go back with the renamed fixed sbf.
I am very impressed with barebones, even the xda app is quicker...

ok, now where do i begin. i'll just say what i can think of instead of answering every single question.
sbf's contains various code groups as you may noticed while flashing it slipts into smaller pieces.
out of those, cg31&39 are non-downgradable and the pair of them must match. all other partitions on the phone are either not flashed by the sbf (e.g. bootloader/mbmloader, pds), useless (cdrom) or downgradable (kernel, recovery, lbl, devtree).
there are no hardware incompatibilities except the chinese ones, but if you don't update cg31(cdt) to match your /system(cg39) you might have some minor issues (i singles these out because they are not downgradable, of course you'll have issues if you don't match all other things).
you might have a chance fooling tel$tra by flashing the sbf i provided (stock 2.26.0) and restore the nandroid. it should be almost identical except you'll get busted when they try to do flash their service sbf.
the bottom line is,
1. if you flashed any sbf larger than 50MB it must have cg39 in it, and you can't downgrade.
2. you must use matching kernel/devtree with the system: the chinese ones will not be compatible with any other roms, you can't mix match froyo with eclair.
Thanks racca, it makes things a bit clearer. I didn't think I had flashed the GB rom, but I must have-it was 3 or 4 mths ago- it explains why I used the Higgsy fix...i think the China one came out very shortly after..
I should probably try flashing a 2.1 rom b4 restoring the telstra nano if I want stock-( with Telstra, we will have to wait until 3 mths + after the rest of the world gets Froyo for them to fill it to the brim with bloat ware..)..
It looks like the Higgsy fix didn't work for our devices anyway-i suspect my phone believes it is a 3.42 fw now.
In any case, I am relieved to have a way to flash the fixed sbf's now.. Barebones is very impressive, no hint of an issue, but need to run it for a week to really see.
Thanks.
I have a Telstra phone too and after a week of owning it back in January, I had already installed a 2.2 De-blurred ROM. I did have radio issues at first and also remember a non-stop reboot issue. I think it was the USB debugging somehow but I could be wrong.
Now I install new ROMs with ease when the need strikes me.
Are you able to flash the fixed sbfs for roms you install?
I've just put the CM7 rom on mine, best rom I've used. Also flashed a fixed rom with it.
Next thing i tried was restoring a nandroid backup of the default telstra rom, then flashed a fixed stock telstra sbf, this worked and was able to at least make the phone look like it was stock. Whether or not that would be enough if i had to send the phone in for repairs. Can only try if it needs to go in.
CM7 is by far the fastest rom I've tried. Only used for a day so far and no problems yet. Highly recommend this one.

I flashed the fixed sbf by renaming after restoring the telstra nano and it worked, but didn't run properly, I did it a couple of months ago with just the nano after having jboogies blurless ginger and it passed for warranty. Haven't tried renaming the full telstra sbf yet. I might over the long weekend.

That's what I was hoping, but for now I'm staying with cm7.
Will go back to the telstra one only if it needs warranty work.

On a side note, it's ridiculous that Optus have official froyo already, Telstra due in July.

I said I would flash cyanogenmod on a friends G1 because he was fed up with 1.6. I've flashed many custom ROM's on several different devices before but I've made a mess of things with this G1 and I can hardly hand back an unusable phone so I would really appreciate your help.
I rooted the phone using Androot, backed up the apps and settings using titanium backup and then the texts using a text backup app. I then downloaded Rom manager and flashed the latest clockworkmod recovery. Next I downloaded the latest official cyanogenmod rom for the dream/g1 and placed it on the phones SD card using my computer. I then re-opened rom manager and used it to select the zip file from the sd (to flash it) on prompt I checked two boxes one to wipe data and one to wipe the dalvik cache and pressed ok.
The phone rebooted into the recovery wiped the stuff, supposedly flashed the rom and rebooted. However it got stuck on the t-mobile g1 boot screen(it never showed anything else first or anything after) I left it for ages with no joy. I then tried wiping from the recovery and flashing again - same thing so i put cm5 on and tried flashing that. Same problem. Then i realised that it probably would not work because I would need to use DangerSPL as the /system partition is too small on the dream/g1. To be honest at this point I can't be bothered with to do that and this guy will be happy with anything above 1.6 to be honest so I thought I would try and flash CM4 because that's based on Eclair I believe (and so it not require I use DangerSPL or any other method to repartition the NAND). However, I tried it twice and still no luck.
At this point I'm somewhat panicking as I cannot seem to make the phone boot and it isn't even mine! Is anyone able to help?
Anyone? Please?
Look, at this stage I will forget custom roms etc. If anyone can tell me the easiest way to get this phone booting android again i would be very grateful.
Even if you could just tell me exactly how to restore it to stock 1.6 from here?
I have flashed roms on phones before - never had a problem but this is driving me crazy - please help!

Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803482. I hope it helps.
It's been way too long since I rooted mine to be of any real help but I shall try nonetheless.
Firstly, there is a guide in the G1 forum to unroot and get back to stock firmware: Here (but note that I've never done this).
I must stress though (admittedly from memory) that if you have flashed an SPL or radio image at all, be VERY careful about the order in which you revert back to stock (or go to get a custom ROM depending on which way you decide to go). The G1 is very picky, and flashing things (mostly SPL and radio IIRC) in the wrong order will brick the device. That said, if you follow the instructions you find to the letter you should be OK. But yeah, read twice, flash once.
There is a lot of information in the stickies in the G1 forum. It could take a while to wade through but it should all be there. Failing that, post in the Q&A or General G1 subforums and I'm sure a current user will help you out.
I apologise if I've just posted a bunch of stuff you already know/have read - like I said, I've not used the phone in a while - just trying to offer what I can.
Thanks
No worries now guys i've done it! It was quite complicated but its all sorted now. If anyone is trying this and has the same (or similar) issue then pm me and I will tell you how I sorted it.
Otherwise thanks guys and you can conciser this thread:

I am sending my phone back into samsung for repair, and I want to bring it back to its stock condition. I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed CW recovery, and installed superuser with no problems, however cannot seem to figure how to go into reverse. I understand how to re-lock the bootloader. I have read on the forums through the countless amounts of people asking this. I am however trying to use the ROM for the GTJ61 build found from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13478981 When I try to use Clockwork Recovery, and go to restore, it states there is a MD5 mismatch. Am I suppose to install from zip or update from SD with CWR, or should I try to flash everything back onto there? I do not know what to do. Am I even trying to use the right ROM? The GTJ61 build is the original build that came on my phone, but would another one work?
follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033269
all you have to do is clear your data, flash the stock rom and stock recovery, and then lock the bootloader
Thank you very much. I figured it out. All I have to do now is destroy the evidence on my sd and seen my NS away.
I realize superuser is still alive and well after I did everything. How I would I get rid of it?
I just uninstalled it. it might have gotten restored when you logged in with your gmail account. did you wipe data and the cache with cwm before you flashed the rom?
edit: did the ots update to 2.3.4 install fine for you?
I am guessing you mean ota. I ended up using the 2.3.4 rom. Should I have used the 2.3.3? Yes I did clear out the cache and factory reset.

I did mean ota lol. my bad. where'd you get a 2.3.4 rom from?
edit: if you used the 2.3.4 rom from the thread you posted, just be aware that it isn't official. i'm not sure if the link I posted has the official rom, but you can download OTA updates with it so I would assume that it's pretty damn official lol
I don't know too much on the subject, but I'm afraid that since it is a different build in the link you suggested that I will mess up my radio settings. I don't know if it would make a difference but when I did install superuser it was from CWR and not adb from the command prompt. Do think I should use the 2.3.3 rom you suggested?

I don't know much about it either, but I would assume that you should put it on a stock rom if you're sending it back into samsung. I could be totally wrong though
I just am not sure if having super using on there would make a difference. They are suppose to do a wipe anyway. But I will contact them to make sure. It would still be nice to have superuser gone though.

I would guess that superuser would be one of the first things they check for to see if you broke warranty. you could just uninstall it and wipe everything through cwm again to make sure it's gone
I managed to fix everything. I just was searching through the system folder of the 2.3.4 rom and to my surprise there was little old superuser. So I deleted the .apk and bin files. After that I restored the ROM. Fixed everything. The stress of sending in a phone with superuser is gone and I am back to being stocked
Two questions for you OP:
1. How do you have a warranty on a I9020A? Is it the subsidized version from Best Buy (i.e. "AT&T's sanctioned model")
2. Why do you need warranty repair? What broke?
Yes I got my phone from best buy. I just registered the imei with samsung and I am under the 1 year warranty. I have a problem with my battery draining 80% in 6 hours little to no use with all radios besides 2g turned off. I know that the NS has not so stellar battery life, but there is genuinely a problem with mine. It cannot even survive for half a day.
Hmm, I had that very issue with three past i9020a's (two from Amazon, one white one from Newegg). They were all the Rogers model, which is said to be identical to the one Best Buy is selling as a subsidized model.
I just bought another i9020a on eBay (no, I never learn) and hope to try some fancy methods to save on battery life (ROMs, etc). I also experienced VERY slow 3G with the i9020a on AT&T's 3G network here in the US. Like 300kbs download slow. I read that if you flash the radio to KB3 it gets very fast, like HSPA 3G should be.
I don't care about rooting and flashing because my phone will not have a warranty. I do, however, suspect that there is nothing wrong with your phone, rather the battery life is just random. One of the i9020a models I had drained a fresh charge in like 3 hrs of sitting idle w/full bars. The phone was burning hot. I restarted it, charged it up, and it lasted over 16 hrs the next time. Very erratic and strange, but that seems to be par for the course with the NS.
I would first see if the phones you bought were registered yet. You never know when you would need samsung to take care of something for you. The correct radio for the US ATT is UCKE1. You should be getting data speeds of about 3.3 megabits. My battery has been consistently low.

So that may explain what's different between the international (i.e. Canadian) I9020A and the "Best Buy" AT&T sanctioned I9020A...a different radio?
Is it possible to flash the KB1 radio of the Canadian I9020A to the AT&T friendly UCKE1 radio?
Hi people,
here is stock kernel extracted from One SV k2_u/k2_ul/k2_plc_cl version but with modded ramdisk.

Hi,
Can you mod k2ul version kernel?
@xpirt
Would you be willing to make a tutorial on here as to how you did this, the requirements needed to accomplish it, and what to check for, as well as the changes which must be made for such a modification? I am asking this so many will learn and as well take the idea and possibly grow from it by coming up with even better ideas in the future. Without the knowledge or know how then this will only keep people in the dark and nobody wins from this. You don't have to make a tutorial, but if you were to do so it would be very much appreciated friend.

Experiment went awry!!!! Ended with a nice surprise!!!
So this is a an interesting story. I have tried many ways to finish flashing the OTA's after I have implemented the RUU. None seemed to work. I was missing a key step pull out the firmware.:silly: duh. Im still a very real noob here and learning on my own. And I was on github the other day browsing and searching and there was a put an uncompiled SE supported string for a kernel of our dear phone the PLC. So grabbed and immediatly started browsing reading and learning placing things here and their....I learn hands on, not from stories or guides. Well things quickly went wrong like many of you reading this are thinking and I wound up with a big paper weight hahahaha. No biggie I got 4 different nandroids that I have compiled and the RUU right I am good.
NO SO FAST nandroids wont flash something about error 23 or 24. RUU I ran 4 times deleted re downloaded and ran again nothing. Again I am still not in panic mode I have enough hardware on my computer to makeshift something to get the RUU to download. I dont know how this happened somehow in the midst of my scramble to get my phone back I had put in an old hboot radio and ics boot img. See my phone has never run ics before. So now I was staring at drivers failing cause their is no OS RUU isnt working nandroids wont work. My phone is down and my computer when I take it to work has no internet. I went through my archives and found the data for the binaries and the data for an ics rom but it was bare bones but heck I had no other choice. So I through the old firmware mixed with bits of the newer kernel.
I booted from recovery with adb to oem-78 which I believe is the updater portion of RUU. I ran the the firmware from their I first relocked bootloader before I did this. I did not take the first time/ flush the zip and run it again took like a charm. I then went back to fastboot flashed TWRP 2.6 instead of my normal 2.7 just cause I wanted to booted into recovery no problem. While in recovery I flashed the ICS stock rom like the firmware did not take. No worries ran it again and worked the second time. then wiped cache and dalvic flashed superSU 2.0.2 which was bought from play store and donated for zip thanks btw. and busybox X. booted into bootloader rebooted bootloader like a dozen times and flashed the ICS boot img. twice seems like the theme hear.
K bear with me I know I am long winded. Tried booting into the system after another dozen times rebooting bootloader. finally gave up went back to recovery reflashed ICS rom only once and then did busybox and SU another time for good measure. I did an avance wipe of dalvic and cache this time. booted straight to system and put the phone down came backe 20 min later it was working I played around it was glitch bad but working. I let it be for another 30 min. Came back rebooted a couple times and went to recovery to instantly backup as all mine where now worthless. When I got home I noticed it wouldnt receive wifi signal after playing around I downloaded the latest OTA for the 4.1.2 JB and the 4.5 sense update. Pulled the firmware flashed that after replacing the HBOOT with an old version and then found my other SD card and pulled a bunch of saved stuff off and found a stock JB 4.5 sense rom. flashed like above steps basically to the amount of reboots. lol. I finally got it to boot and within the hour I am running a smooth JB 4.1.2 sense 4+ OS thats what android tuner says my Hboot however says
Unlocked
K2_PLC_CL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID 11111111

Feb 8 2013, 16: 29: 40:-1
As u see no line for OS and well no os and no data associated with eMMC just the boot. Everything seems to run way way way smoother now thought even before I started messing around. No lag perfect signal. My call problems gone only thing is my batt percent and my mms but those are pre existing problems I am working on.
My kernel says I am the 3.4 variation. On my phone and in all my apps. Except rom tool box it says I am 3.2
I wrote this hopefully a true dev can take what I did and come up with something amazing that can be used across the board of the ONE SV users.Thanks oh some how my toggle switches all turned orange in bootloader and all my highlited things in the rom turned green dont know how that happened either. :fingers-crossed:

I booted from recovery with adb to oem-78 which I believe is the updater portion of RUU. I ran the the firmware from their I first relocked bootloader before I did this. I did not take the first time/ flush the zip and run it again took like a charm. I then went back to fastboot flashed TWRP 2.6 instead of my normal 2.7 just cause I wanted to booted into recovery no problem. While in recovery I flashed the ICS stock rom like the firmware did not take. No worries ran it again and worked the second time. then wiped cache and dalvic flashed superSU 2.0.2 which was bought from play store and donated for zip thanks btw. and busybox X. booted into bootloader rebooted bootloader like a dozen times and flashed the ICS boot img. twice seems like the theme hear.
K bear with me I know I am long winded. Tried booting into the system after another dozen times rebooting bootloader. finally gave up went back to recovery reflashed ICS rom only once and then did busybox and SU another time for good measure. I did an avance wipe of dalvic and cache this time. booted straight to system and put the phone down came backe 20 min later it was working I played around it was glitch bad but working. I let it be for another 30 min. Came back rebooted a couple times and went to recovery to instantly backup as all mine where now worthless. When I got home I noticed it wouldnt receive wifi signal after playing around I downloaded the latest OTA for the 4.1.2 JB and the 4.5 sense update. Pulled the firmware flashed that after replacing the HBOOT with an old version and then found my other SD card and pulled a bunch of saved stuff off and found a stock JB 4.5 sense rom. flashed like above steps basically to the amount of reboots. lol. I finally got it to boot and within the hour I am running a smooth JB 4.1.2 sense 4+ OS thats what android tuner says my Hboot however says
As u see no line for OS and well no os and no data associated with eMMC just the boot. Everything seems to run way way way smoother now thought even before I started messing around. No lag perfect signal. My call problems gone only thing is my batt percent and my mms but those are pre existing problems I am working on.
My kernel says I am the 3.4 variation. On my phone and in all my apps. Except rom tool box it says I am 3.2
I wrote this hopefully a true dev can take what I did and come up with something amazing that can be used across the board of the ONE SV users.Thanks oh some how my toggle switches all turned orange in bootloader and all my highlited things in the rom turned green dont know how that happened either. :fingers-crossed:

so are you saying that you flashed this kernel?
what exactly do you want a dev to do? i think, by reading what you said, that what you did was, try to compile a kernel with bits and pieces, and when you flashed it, it didnt work? so you tried to restore a backup that you also 'compiled'(?), which failed as well. you then flashed an older hboot which allowed your update to take.... the downgrade to update has stumped lots, including me. its basically the process of manual updating. these phones are all different because the partitions are in different locations in the device. and certain varients have no sim card slot. the radios are running "different channels" etc...
sorry for continuing off topic..
Thanks for the kernel and all your work
I need some assistance please! I am truly baffled by what I am experiencing and would like to know why and hopefully how to fix it. Here's the details:
CARRIER: Verizon
MODEL: HTC One M8
S-OFF: Yes (Sunshine)
ROOT: Yes
HBOOT: 3.19
RADIO: 1.09.20.0926
OpenDSP: 46.2.2
OS: 3.28.605.4
First off, sorry for the book, but I figured more details would be better at this point to figure out what is up, so I appreciate any assistance in advance! PS: I bolded the key items to the story for those that like to skim.
Prior to S-Off and Root, I was on OTA version 4.4.4 waiting in anticipation for 5.0 to come to my device. Was unsure about spending $25 for Sunshine's method, but finally decided to take the plunge. At first things seemed great and very smooth. Following all instructions from Sunshine I was finally with S-Off status. I then used WeakSauce2 to gain temp root of the Stock ROM so that I could install Flashify and TWRP. Rebooted and loaded up TWRP Recovery and completed the first Nandroid. SUCCESS! Next up was Titanium Backup and such and copied everything off to my computer for safe keeping. So far so good and then loaded up a few ROM files and whatnot to the External SD Card so I could start flashing a new ROM. Feeling good up to this point, but here's where the troubles begin...
I have had great success with CyanogenMod in the past on previous devices and always very pleased. I read CM12 for others was great and stable and performed well, so I decided to grab the latest CM12 Nightly and the GApps package. Did the normal Wipe / System Wipe for initial flash of a new ROM and then installed both ZIPs no problem. The ROM boots up and everything seems okay, only I do not have LTE at all, only 3G. I also tried the GPE rom by Digitalhigh and experienced the same thing! Restoring from Nandroid also did not fix LTE, so at this point I got worried I broke my phone somehow.
To make a long story short after lots of testing I found a fix for getting LTE back on my original ROM. I found the 4.4.4 RUU and placed the 1.7 GB zip file (0P6BIMG.zip) on the root of my external SD Card, booted into HBOOT and ran the update. It did it's thing and booted up into the Stock ROM. Still no LTE! So then I found a comment somewhere about once that is done, do a Factory Reset from HBOOT using the Stock Recovery and it is supposed to reset the NV Radio Partition, so I did this and when it booted back up, SUCCESS! I have LTE back.
Once that was done I can now flash GPE, (but unusable because SMS is not working for some reason... I am using Google Voice BTW), so I am back to my original 4.4.4 TWRP Recovered ROM. I tried just for kicks to see if after the "fix" if I could make CM12 work, but again will bring it down to an unworking LTE status. Rinse and repeat the "fix" and got LTE back and did Nandroid Recovery. I paid the money to get S-Off and Root access so I could enjoy the Custom ROM's, but now I feel I am stuck...
All that being said... Can someone please explain to me what is going on?? And is there any way I can fix this so I can use CM12 and have LTE, and even then some other ROMs? I will post in Digitalhigh's forum for resolution to the SMS issue, but I have never had this much trouble with a device before and do not know enough about the different partitions and how they work and such. Any assistance and advice is MUCH appreciated!
Thank you!
Nobody has any advise or explanation?
I don't know the version numbers you posted from you bootloader off the top of my head but did you update your firmware to one of the unofficial ones around before flashing one of the lollipop roms? Is so, are you sure it took completely as sometimes you have to flash it twice.
Alternatively you could wait for our official firmware to drop any minute now and have pretty good odds of working for you.

Yes I did use official firmware, and flashed twice per recommendations. I have it working with GPE, but every time I flash CM12 it breaks LTE. I have seen articles and posts of others running CM12 on their M8's with VZW and stating "zero issues"... Lack of LTE sounds like an issue to me. So my big question at hand is, why does CM12 break LTE, and is there a fix? Everything else seemed to work great otherwise.

I was reading the CM12 m8 thread earlier this week and many reported that LTE did not work on builds from late Feb. early March. CM12 is in no way stable and results will vary from phone to phone. Even the speaker issues have not been fully resolved. Bummer, because I'd really like it to be more stable.

Thank you for your reply. Definitely wanting CM since I used to run that regularly on my older devices with no troubles at all. The speed and simplicity are what I am going for. Sense is okay, but the difference of less than 300 megs with CM compared to over a gig for stock is unreal. WAY less overhead.
