How do I restore my HTC One M8 to the latest stock everything. (OS, firmware, android version, everything)
I'm not a total newbie in rooting and recoveries, but I just can't seem to find the difference between ROMS and firmware.
Here's what happened:
I was running 4.4.3 rooted on my M8, and then I flashed the MaximusHD ROM (because it had 4.4.4) So I thought, why do the OTA update and then install a ROM when I can just simply install a ROM that already has 4.4.4 installed. What happened then was I lost the ability to turn on wifi, which confused me.
On their post someone wrote that you need to update the firmware or else the wifi wouldn't work. This all got me extremely confused, so I tried to switch on a different ROM to see if the problem would be solved.
I switched over to Android Revolution 21.0, which is what I'm currently stuck on. So I just want to go back to stock HTC firmware and os or whatever it's called.
Here's some info about my device:
HTC One M8, international europe edition, unlocked
Android version: 4.4.4
Software number: 3.28.401.7
I can also add Kernel version, baseband version and build number, but are these necessary?
Thank you to anyone who helps me out with this, I am extremely grateful.
Hi there,
I'd suggest reviewing and having a look at this thread: [GUIDE] Return your European M8 to 100% Stock
Thank you and thread closed!
First of all, this issue isn't just gonna get fixed by flashing a Sense-based ROM, then going back to CM12. This goes deeper than that...it seems to be working fine for guys running the same ROM with TMO and other carriers.
What does anyone know about GPS not being able to communicate with GPS satellites when running most CM12 ROMs with Verizon's 4.4.4 firmware on your M8? Could this be kernel related? Is it that Verizon 4.4.4 firmware (CDMA) is conflicting with something? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
same issue on Sprint m8

I just flased to CM 12 Nightlies and my GPS lost as well. The GPS worked great on stock kit Kat.

That does fix the issue for a lot of people and is recommended across devices when trying to get a GPS lock on an aosp Rom (example: vzw note 2) also, some people have to do it a couple times before it works. If it still isn't working for you you can try a clean flash to stock sense get the lock etc, and then copy gps.conf from /system/etc, restore your bAckup of cm12 and paste it in the same place (back up the original first), set perms to 644, reboot and hope for the best

Just so I said it, I've got the same issue on the sprint version.
Lost GPS
I did as you suggested and tried Skyfire. The gps worked But no service or mobile data (waa waa). I made a copy of the ect/gps file and replaced it once I flashed back CM 12. Un fortunatly that didn't do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Earlier, the awesome Novembre5 had ported a T-Mobile 4.4.2 ROM for D800 users. This is awesome because we get to use WiFi Calling on our D800's even if we are on T-Mobile SIM's.
Now T-Mobile and AT&T finally have Android 5.0 Lollipop Builds out. We would greatly appreciate if someone could port this ROM over for us. I reached out to Novembre5 again, but he hadn't responded.
To that extent, lets put a bounty on it and see how badly people really want the Port.
I am willing to put $10 to whoever is able to port it for us.
If others are interested, do reply to this thread and I'll keep updating the list.
Pledges
1) aatifsumar: $10
2) wtang: $10
Total so far: $20
I think work should be done to decouple the ROM from the wifi-calling feature. I don't want to have to leave CloudyStock 2.7.
also, if you're serious, start an escrow service
I also use my D800 on T-Mobile. I'd love to be running official Lollipop with WiFi calling working! Count me in for $10.
Seems like a cool idea. However is not WiFi calling available for T-mobile costumers only, due to you need to register with T-mobile?

Yes, the ported ROM would be used by T-Mobile customers. Would not offer any advantages over the regular AT&T ROM for non T-Mo users.

I agree, that would be awesome, and also a lot more complex. Could you give me details of escrow services that could easily be used for such types of transactions? Thanks.

I wonder if indiegogo could function for this, though that would probably start from the developer side, and we need to start from the bait side. IE, people commit, their money enters escrow, and is only released from the pot when the requirements are met. The pot grows until a developer comes along and get tempted.

I don't get it... Why post on At&t lg g2 thread if we At&t users can use T-mobile WiFi calling?
Why not post this in this forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g2/development

Because it for use on the att g2.
Getting an unlocked att g2 and using it on t-mobile is an option for people,
Also with the port of the t-mobile rom, we would be able to use t-mobiles wifi callibg which is only available on their stock lg rom.
We definity need this to happen. Been using the kitkat tmobile rom port for a while and i love the wifi calling

I'm confused. If all you did was switch the D800 modem for the D801 modem, and everything else is the same, then that means you're running your D800 with a D801 kernel? I assume the T-Mobile flashable Lollipop ROM in the link contains a D801 Lollipop kernel. I thought you can't run a kernel from another variant G2 on the AT&T G2. Can somebody clarify?

If u check Novembre5 post kitkat version, he mentioned that all he did was to add att modem rest all are of tmobile.
D801 kernet on d800 working without any issues... I had some minor glitches on camera once but mostly it is smooth..

Thanks for your reply. And thanks for figuring this out and sharing with the rest of us. I may try this when I get home tonight.
One question though. The AT&T D800 has an extra noise cancellation microphone on the back above the camera that the T-Mobile D801 doesn't have. I wonder if using the D801 kernel and ROM means that extra mic no longer works. Either way, it's not a big deal.

I dont know about that.. I guess last time with kitkat i used custom kernel. May be once on lollipop we can flash custom kernel.
I have a sprint s5 that is domestically unlocked and am using it on at&t but every time i try any non stock based custom roms i cant receive calls or hang up. i'm originally on og1. so far ive tried flashing a nk4 modem, nk4 kernel.
It's happens to me too the only fix I was able to do was instead of installing klte spr roms I just installed the roms for the g900f are just klte roms and they work perfectly hope this helps. Did aslo used idone app

same problem for me and I used the same solution
is the KLTE roms can fix this issue at KLTESPR ???
All,
If you happen to have an unlocked bootloader i337 or i337m, or i337z, I was wondering if you would be willing to test some roms?
I have a few builds over in the T-Mobile thread, and I have modified them to flash on any JF variant.
@khaoticking has successfully tested some of these on a jflteaio!
I was wondering if these would work on an unlocked i337? You shouldn't have to flash a different TWRP.
