I unlocked the bootloader, did s-off and rooted through weaksauce. However when I try to install a zip file from my SD card in the bootloader, it always ends up aborting the installation, I tried clearing the cache and even wiping all the data but it still doesn't install. I tried two different roms and I get the same problems which makes me think that I am missing something with the phone. Does anyone have any idea what the holdup may be?

Not sure but your downloads could be having errors, mem card has issues or worse, your recovery is fault!!!

I'll try it with the phone storage or a different SD card later tonight. I'll also try a different ROM. When you say my recovery is fault what exactly do you mean? Is this something that can be fixed?

Take a look in this section at the thread I started. See if you can flash Skyfall or any AOSP ROM I'm able to flash those fine but all of the GPE ROMS and a couple others will not flash for me either. All AOSP and AOKP stuff flashes fine. Skyfall and ViperOne will flash for me. I dont know what the hell is going on.
Did you flash SuperSU zip to get permanent root and get rid of weak sauce after you soffd and flashed your recovery?

You know what? I'll bet that's whats happening to me. I have a thread in this section with the same deal. Mine has been Rooted and UL/S-Off for a while now but during the rooting, UL/s-off process (Introductions and videos) not once was this ever mentioned. I lost root on an install of Nu Sense today but the entire install was wonky so I just thought it was that. Where can I find this SuperSU zip and how do I get rid of weaksauce? I used Firewater and weaksauce on mine. Or are you saying that once you flash the zip it takes over what weaksauce was doing?
I wonder why so many ROMs flashed properly for months now and it's just recently with these GPE Roms I'm seeing all this trouble.

So I have TWRP installed on my rooted Galaxy S3 (I535), and the 4.3 update just came out and was available to me.
I downloaded it, and tried to install it (I know that it will remove root), and when it finished downloading, it opened the TWRP boot menu.
Does anyone else who uses TWRP know how to install the new update? I couldn't find it and it wouldn't automatically install....

You kind of only have 2 options now. Attempt a "dirty" flash of a ROM so you can save your internal SD files then odin or do the full Odin wipe and forget about keeping the files. Either way unless anyone else has a idea you lose your current setup.

OK I'll explain what I think went bad.when you downloaded the update it was expecting factory stock recovery to finish the install. Since you had twrp it failed. FYI Odin is a program on the PC to communicate with the phone in download mode (Odin mode). try to do a factory reset before you go crazy with my other suggestions. I have a feeling one of the 3 options I gave you are your only options.

Yeah but you already soft bricked it. Any brick you do you should be able to fix. just so you know you backed yourself into a corner. No matter what you do you have a chance of bricking. Its all part of being a power user. If your uncomfortable with that after you are on 4.3 you might not want to root.

Yeah I know there's always the chance of bricking, just wanted to know if that specific thing would do it. I've been into rooting since my Droid 1, Droid 2, and Droid X. But I'm always cautious.
If I do a factory reset and back up all my data, will it get rid of odin and TWRP and everything? Then just install the 4.3 update and root using safe root? Would that work?

You would need to flash stock recovery completely replacing twrp. so if factory reset works and you can boot you should beable to flash stock recovery then redo the ota.

Factory reset deals with the rom. So no it will stay twrp.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
Using Odin is a lot like SBF'ing on the droid x (that was my last phone also). So if you can remember installing cyanogen mod 6 or 7 you probably always did a factory reset before first boot. Custom recovery stays intact the only way to get rid of it was to flash stock recovery with terminal emulator or sbf back to pure stock. Luckily Odin let's us flash the recover by its self so we have more options with Samsung.
The original update OTA can be obtained here: WWE_4.07.1700.4-3.62.1700.1_KTU84L.H4_release_377648
This cannot be flashed unless your device meets all requirements. Wait for a ROM otherwise.

Mine fails as well - on basicDreams.apk. It doesn't look like it can be applied to every device, e.g. when integrating apps into the ROM using Titanium Backup it will most likely fail. Will be taken care of by the ROM devs though.

All I had to do was RUU to 4.4.0 because that's the one I had handy, let the phone OTA to 4.4.2, and when it booted all I had to do was hit the "check for update" button 2-3 times and then it prompted me to download the OTA and voila, 4.4.3

You would have to put the OTA at the right location and name it exactly what the recovery expects and I don't know how to do that.
Thing is with stock recovery, there are no options, it either updates or resets to factory default.

Just wait a day or two.
I haven't really noticed a performance increase or decrease tbh after flashing the new firmware. It says "5.11.401.10" because I edited the android-info.txt file. But the date is 5/16/2014, to confirm that it is the newer v1.54 hboot. How would I go about making a deodex system dump into a flashable rom.zip? I have the system dump if someone can help me with the procedure.
So I've had the m8 for a little over a month, and love sense to the point that I haven't really had a reason to root yet. I'm on android 4.4.2 software number 1.12.605.11, and have just been ignoring the OTA nag. First off, is s-off/root possible with what I'm on now? And if I take the OTA, will s-off be possible? Also, I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the microSD. Thanks!
You can use weak sauce to root, then firewater to soff, then uninstall weak sauce root, and install twrp, then flash SuperSU zip to root. Then just flash an up to date rom. Clean rom is real nice if you wanna stay stock, just lose the bloat. I love it. Then you can always fastboot flash to the newest firmware after all of that.

I replied in your thread.
SU4TL-44 Stock Image for XT1254: https://mega.nz/#!v4QWiITb!_0jWWzE4KWCEgT__C36rYe0vaTzGKcEFsZm0vvBtLBg
Flash with TWRP.
This package will flash every image in the SU4TL-44 firmware package except for recovery. It should bring your phone to almost 100% stock. The only image that is not included is the recovery image, because that would overwrite TWRP. If you need the stock recovery, revert to stock by following section 0 of my guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684.
Yes, it does include modems.
No, it will not re-lock your bootloader.
No, it won't erase your data, but you should do a factory reset in TWRP after flashing this. You might be able to get away without it if you're coming from a modified stock rom, but if you leave out the factory reset after coming from a CM-based rom, you're gonna have a bad time.
Thanks to @firstEncounter for letting me incorporate his flashable zip into this package.
Will have to download this later. Looked to go back to stock and wait for mm to come out.

Just to be clear, this doesn't flash re-lock the bootloader, right? So it's just the ROM... correct?

No it won't relock boot loader just installed it you will not be rooted and twrp will ask you if you want to root before reboot if you click no and want to at a later point just go back into boot loader by doing vol down power combo from power off and select open boot loader and when you click to reboot it will ask you again if you want to root then you can just slide to install

Just to be clear, this doesn't flash re-lock the bootloader, right? So it's just the ROM... correct?

Ok last night I tried this in this order.
TWRP Backup & ADB Pulled Back-up folder
I then went into TWRP and wiped everything
ADB Pushed the image onto the phone
Installed, wiped dalvik & rebooted into a bootloop of the Motorola Symbol

I've never tried to install an image via ADB before. Did you mount the image elsewhere and extract the system folder, and then ADB-pushed that? If not, your bootloop is probably because there's just a big, unextracted system.img on your system partition, and not the actual files within it. Why not just flash it with TWRP? When I tested it, I flashed it via TWRP and it worked.
If you really don't want to flash it via TWRP for some reason, you can extract the system.img from the zip and flash it using fastboot (fastboot flash system system.img).
EDIT: Oh wait, I think I understand now. You just used ADB to put the zip on your phone, and then you installed it with TWRP. Got it. Well my next question is why use ADB at all? Why not just plug in your phone while it's booted into TWRP and use the native MTP to transfer files?
Its chromeos ****, and I'm just a fan of cmd line.

I'm going to try again later, after wiping everything X5 and reinstalling CM12.1.
Its flawless.

CM12.1 is flawless that is.
The boot.img should probably be included as well for people flashing this from a custom ROM, otherwise they will experience a boot loop.

This package only flashes /system. CM flashes its own boot.img, which is why this isn't working for you. I'll try to find some time tonight to add in the other images in the stock firmware to this package. Sorry about that.

Great minds think alike. Do you know if boot.img will cover it, or are there other partitions that are flashed by CM that need to be included as well?

Nope, just boot and system.
Feel free to include the bootloader/radio package from my thread into your zip if you'd like to make this equivalent to flashing a full stock firmware.

I updated the link. It now flashes boot.img in addition to system.img. It should work for you now.

I'm not entirely sure how to write a script to flash those in TWRP. For boot and system, it's easy because the devices that they are flashed to match the names used by fastboot. Bootloader and radio seem to be a little different though. When I list the contents of /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name, there is no "motoboot" or "radio," which is what fastboot uses when you flash these. I do see "aboot" and "modem," and I'm pretty sure those are the targets I'm looking for, but I don't want to go flashing things unless I'm 100% sure. Since there's not a huge demand for figuring that out, and boot + system is all people will need in 99% of cases, I'll leave them out. Thanks though!

Thus really helped for whatever reason after altering the fxz xml so I wouldn't lose data rsd lite said the xml files didn't match. I have done this before with no issues. I couldn't take the recent Ota because somehow the system was modified. I am guessing it was something from sunshine. I never rooted the phone just unlocked so I don't know how anything was modified. This made it so much easier flashed it flashed stock recovery and took ota thanks.

They do not provide info about this point, but in my experience with this build, multi touch bug is fixed. At least pinch zooming in Instagram is now stable.
Is it ok to sideload over custom kernel?
I couldn't complete the update. After download is completed I am getting error "installation problem couldn't update".
I tried 3 to 4 times I even tried restarting the phone even tried downloading from a different network but none of them helped.
I checked it in a Reddit thread that many others also facing the same error like mine.
Is anyone else facing the same issue like this

You can just flash full OTA zip via twrp.
No wipes needed.
If I have the bootloader unlocked and with root, can I install this update? Without losing my data or having to re-root the phone?

Download the full OTA zip from below.
https://storage.googleapis.com/essential-static/PH1-OTA-OPM1.180104.234.zip
Reboot in TWRP, flash the zip without wiping anything.
Once the zip flashing is complete, reboot to system.
Then you can root again.
PS - Do not forget to remove your secured lock screen (PIN, Password, Pattern etc.) before flashing TWRP.

Rooting will be similar to how you did before.
