Digitalhigh GPE - The ORIGINAL GPE for HTC M8
(often imitated, never duplicated!)
Hi! I'm Digitalhigh, and welcome to this Q&A / Off topic thread thread.
My masterpiece rom can be found here​

I've been quiet too because this ROM is perfect for me lol.
I have a challenge for you all though. VVM. And don't tell me to use YouMail because I already know how its "better". I have my reasons for needing Verizon's VVM.

[Q]Is there an advanced wipe I need
jmgg2k said:
Install again the rom. When Aroma ask to reboot say "NO" (additional process being installed). Then reboot from the recovery.
Tell me how it goes

First I would like to apologize to Digital High and the moderators for my silly questions.
In the OP there was a link for firmware and a message that you should try with 4.4.4 first then if it does not work go to 5.0.1( I did not know which version was linked as the name of the file does not give it away but assumed it was 5.0.1). I tried it first which worked but no boot animation, WiFi and could not reboot correctly.
Being that I was running Digital High's 4.4.4 GPE from his thread to a T, I installed the firmware that he had linked. I then within TWRP 2.8.1 I clicked wipe and then slide to wipe (Factory reset it says at the top then data/cache/dalvik). I then installed the ROM.
I then ready a post that the newest firmware was under this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159
but I ignored per OP guidance.
When the HTC Screen does come up it goes away after a few minutes and is on a lock screen. I did not consider this to be stuck.
I reinstalled and when prompted in Aroma I select "No" the process finished and pushed back to recovery, I hit restart.
Device was at HTC screen (btw the HTC developmental red text is still there gravy right?)for about five minutes, no boot animation, then the android lock screen appears.
I also tried flashing the firmware listed in the link above but get I get 42 custom ID fail. My CID is set to GOOGL001 so I am not sure what the issue is.
Is there an advanced wipe I need to try or a specific firmware I need to flash and then re flash this one? I am up for trying anything to get this working. I have three friends who are looking to do this and donate if it works well but I still can't get my test device figured out.

Are you saying you have a Google Play Edition device? Or did you change the CID to reflect that? You need to install the latest firmware for whatever variant you actually have.

You see that is confusing because you just asked me a question.
I have a Verizon HTC M8 that was running 4.4.4. GPE. I want to got to 5.0.1. Maybe I need some CID clarification but everyone so far has said that for GPE roms you need GOOGL001 vs having the VZW based CID.
Moderators, is there a way to move this the Q and A section like all of my posts without having to repost and also delete them from this thread to free up space or whatnot?

I meant the Q&A thread for the ROM, but I guess those aren't necessarily ROM questions. This works, I guess.
EDIT: Actually, the Q&A thread for the ROM would be better - this will probably get lost here.

You are confused.
The only reason you would change your CID is if you were doing a full GPE conversion by flashing an RUU. That's not what you're doing here. You need to change your CID back, and flash the latest full Verizon 4.4.4 firmware. Not having that flashed is the root of your issue.
P.S. There is a "Q&A" tab on the ROM thread, along the top. All you had to do is reply to my question there, and I would see it.

Sorry, I did not know that. Generally I think people panic when they need help and may not see what is right in front of them.
Is this the current VZW firmware? (Under 4.4.4 Zip)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159
Also I believe if I understand you right I need to change my CID to VZW__001, flash VZW firmware, then install GPE ROM? or do you need to change the CID back to GOOGL001 after the firmware update (VZW firmware) to get GPE ROM to go through?

You don't need to change the CID back after flashing the firmware. Your other steps are correct.

Alright.
Would I need to do this from fastboot flash zip or fastboot oem rebootRUU then flash?
I tried the fastboot flash zip with the updated firmware in the fastboot.exe folder and I get (remote: not allowed).

That is where I got the CID questions from after looking into the 42:custom id check fail and I did not change the MID so I thought it was irrelevant.

Sorry, I see my post was stated incorrectly.
You don't need to change the CID BACK at the end of the process. As I previously stated, your CID should reflect your actual variant, so that first step is correct and the most important. Just don't change it back at the end. Sorry for the confusion.
And your second process is the correct one.
EDIT: I updated my post to avoid further confusion in case anyone else reads this.

This is where I need help clarifying what I have done. I also read another one of your threads and believe that I may have found the issue but please help clear things up.
I converted to GPE during 4.4 KitKat by following Digital High's writeup. I believe you told another user that you would need to go back to sense layout due to space requirements.
Knowing that information what are my next steps?
CID(VZW__01 or GOOGL001)?
Firmware (Flash the newest Verizon stock one then what, leave, update to 5.0.1)?
ROM(Install stock image then do 5.0.1 GPE?
I am not concerned with any data or backing up.
I am very literal and do not like to leave room for me to misinterpret anything.
Thanks BTW! I really appreciate it.

Flashing a GPE ROM is NOT the same as converting to GPE. @digitalhigh doesn't have a write-up for converting to GPE of which I'm aware.
Change to the Verizon CID.
Flash the Verizon 4.4.4 firmware.
Flash GPE ROM.
That's it.

Thread now linked to the Official DevDB Project.

Thank You so much!
I just wanted to follow up and say that it is working now with the boot animation. I would like to mention that there should be instructions about the carrier agnostic lollipop driver option as this is not explained well. I took it as though it is the new 5.0.1 firmware and I checked the box.
I was also receiving a message prior about Dolby Digital stopped working right after boot up on welcome screen. I figure in case anyone else runs into this issue it will an indication of what went awry.
I cannot thank you guys enough. Really was game changer for me today! Let me know how I can help contribute to the XDA-Way.

The Carrier-agnostic firmware IS the 5.0.1 firmware. But the OP specifically states that you must already be updated to your carrier's latest 4.4.4 firmware before flashing the ROM. I'm not sure what the confusion is?

When going through Aroma there is a check box to install this however it is deselected by default. There is not instruction to check this box or not and who should check other than him saying that try it one way first and then another way if it doesn't work.

And those are the correct instructions . . . so again, I'm . Some people need it, others don't. If everything is working without it, then don't bother with it. If it's not, then try it.

i downgraded also the modem firmware. (./flashall.sh; and manual flash with ./mfastboot....)
i tried the DE UK US retail 4.3 official stock images. but no luck.
i think the repacked firmware had something changed in the partition with some wlan settings.. maybe some drivers i don't know..??

Ok i solved my problem. Maybe it can help my solution to someone who have the same problem: I don't know why but my /persist/ folder was empty.. i had to diskdump the block of persist from my other moto g and copyed it on my briked one. then i had to edit the two bin files for bluetooth and wifi to set back the real MAC Adress (write down from the retail box)
now it works again without any problems.

I sort of missed the blueness of 4.3 and browsers on 4.4 were annoying me since Google switched the default browser engine to chromium's engine. Then i saw some screenshots i accidently took from kitkat and missed the nice transparent bars and white icons, and now i'm sticking with kitkat.
hi guys i need help if possible my moto g is stuck on the blue m logo after the boot animation its not a boot loop just stuck on the m. i reflashed the firmware again but no change i havent erased cache and userdata is that the reason?
thanks guys in advance
erased cache and userdata after the downgrade abd it boots normal.
your downgrading lol you MUST delete the userdata and cache or you'll be forever bootloop

[Q&A] [ROM] CM 11.0 (Android 4.4) for RazrHD XT925/XT926

Q&A for [ROM] CM 11.0 (Android 4.4) for RazrHD XT925/XT926
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Is this the ROM for the XT926 from Dhacker? Sorry for a noob type question, but sometimes the ROMS have 926 in the file name which makes it easier for guys like me to know I am getting the right one.

Poor call quality
Has anyone else had the issue where there is poor audio quality in the earpiece? The audio is all crackly and fuzzy, and makes it very hard to understand. I'm not sure if it's hardware or software related right now, and am trying to find out. Another issue which I've had for the past couple months is that the maximum speakerphone volume is SUPER low, much lower than equivalent speaker volume for a youtube video or something. Might this be related (for example, the earpiece volume, which can now go to a deafeningly high level is actually using the gain meant for the speaker and vice versa (resulting in clipping of the signal going to the earpiece, and poor quality)?
Stuck in a boot loop between Motorola boot animation and CWM Recovery menu
Hi guys, Im looking for some help.
I'm a Razr HD (XT925) owner, unlocked bootloader, rooted and CWM 6.0.4.4.
I was running the latest CM 11 KK4.4.2 nightly. Lately it was a bit unstable (freezing and rebooting...sometimes stuck into the CM animation). Due to that I decided to give Epinter's [ROM] CM 11.0 (Android 4.4) for RazrHD XT925/XT926 a try.
Everything ran smoothly, without any sort of error but after the reboot, it got stuck into a loop between the Motorola boot animation, which keeps on my screen for approximately 30 secs, after that the screen turns black, the same Motorola boot animation pops up again, this time for a bit short time and finally, it brings me to the CWM Recovery menu.
I've tried to restore my CM11 KK4.4.2 image but it quickly shows me a message saying
"Checking MD5 sums...
MD5 Mismatch!"
Another strange facts:
After performing the wipe data/factory reset there are the following messages:
(Please note that Bold/Italic ones seemed sorta strange for me...maybe just because I'm being a noob though!)
"__Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /SD-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
E:unknown volume "/sdcard.android_secure"
Data wipe complete"
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-exit]
MD5 checksum mismatch"
While trying to wipe Delvik cache the following message pops up:
"E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"
So, atm, as you can imagine, my cell phone is sorta useless!
Can anyone help me?!?
Thank you in advance for your time and attention!
Cheers!
Edit 1: I've performed Wipe data/Factory reset, Wipe cache partition and Wipe Delvik cache before applying the Epinter's .zip and ggapps from my SD card. I did the same right before Epinter's .zip and ggapps both got installed without any sort of error message. I've did the same several times after the problem starts as well. In my last attempt of solving it by myself, I've repeated it all again since the the 1st step...all wipes and reinstalling both Epinter's and ggapps!
Edit 2:
I've managed to install from CWM an old .zip I found on my storage and my cell phone came back to life in the very same state it was!
Now, I was reviewing each step in order to try to install Epinter's CM11 KK4.4.4 and I've seen he wrote the following:
Recent versions (July/2014) requires an updated (KitKat) bootloader
After that, a doubt came to my mind...Could it be the cause of this mess I was stuck into? Is my unlocked bootloader JB or KK? How can I know it?!? If it is JB, how can I change it to KK?
If you don't updated to official KK you still on jbbl (Jelly Bean Bootloader)... So install latest snapshot (M11) or latest nightly from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960_jbbl instead epinter's old builds

If you don't updated to official KK you still on jbbl (Jelly Bean Bootloader)... So install latest snapshot (M11) or latest nightly from here: (Ive had to delete the link because of my low number of posts) instead epinter's old builds

Thanks a lot bro!
Well, in this case I'm pretty sure I'm running a JBBL then!
Believe it or not, after several wipe data/cache it is running...with some freeze outs and restartings more often than Id like but still...its running!
The link for the latest JBBL build is kinda broken (After choosing the latest build, it brings me to a 404 not found error page).
Thanks again and Ill come back in a few days when the link to the latest JBBL is working! As for the compatible GAAPS for the latest JBBL build...the same one Ive used alongside with Epinter's should be ok?!?
Cheers!

Taking as true the assumption that from now on the vast majority of ROMs to come will be made to be used on KKBL, wouldn't it be worth to upgrade to a KKBL now? Would it be too complicated since I'm not sure what was my default cell phone OS since I'm the 2nd owner and I've bought it from an ebay like site here at Brazil! Any tutorial links?
Cheers again!

[XT925] Stock ROM with KK BL to install CM11
Hi all!
Im looking a ROM to install in my RAZR HD with the KK Bootloader, needed for flash CM11 moto_msm8960 builds
Does anybody knows which ROM comes with that bootloader? Is posible to upgrade bootloader using a jb rom?
Thanks!

As it has been widely discussed multiple times on multiple threads on all the msm8960 device pages, if your device has not been given the official Moto Kitkat, or if you have not taken the official Moto kitkat update, you will use the moto_msm8960_jbbl builds. If your device has been updated to the official Moto Kitkat, you will use the moto_msm8960 builds.
All bootloaders come from Moto, not CM or another third party ROM developer, so no it is not possible to upgrade or downgrade your bootloader with a custom ROM. You can only do this using the sbfs and the guides here on xda.

Camera not initialise
Hey i tried the copy/paste method( placing the files in system/app), But then i'm getting the error "Camera not initialize". Can anybody help me, it will be Thankful...
As of late I'm experiencing problems with the Wifi tethering dropping my service. I've been running CM11 for awhile now with no major issues until recently
The problem I'm having is once I enable wifi tethering, hotspot becomes active and all is well. As soon as I connect a device to that network, my phone drops service. This will happen repeatedly. Every once in awhile the service will hold but it's only a matter of time before it drops again. This problem gradually became worse over time until it happens everytime.
Anyone experiencing this issue? I was hoping it was an issue with my current 20140609-SNAPSHOT but I just updated to cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-moto_msm8960_jbbl and still receiving the same problems.
expired link
Hi
it seems the download link for epinter roms is temporary (hope so) dead
"This Domain Name Has Expired"
But I do no read this thread very often; may be I have did'nt read something about this fact
Kind regards,

Kbbl problem
Dear developer i own two razr hd's (xt925) both currently running stock kitkat uk build ota.when i install any kkbl rom i get E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_SD/roms/cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-moto_msm8960.zip'.
I have tried 6 of your builds and some pa too on both devices I have also tried it on twrp 2.8.1.0,2.8.0.0,2.7.0.0 and Phil adv cwm,cwm 6.0.3? . The problem is probably something wrong with my razr hd but I really need to know what it is . Please could you help PS I have downgraded to jb and the jbbl is working fine but a bit slow sometimes.(EDIT)
Fixed by editing update script. Changed ro.boot.secure_hardware from 1 to 0
Wondering if anyone can help me. I've spent all night trying multiple ways to get this to work but it keeps on failing:
I have already unlocked my bootloader. However whenever I try to install CWM I get the following:

Thanks in advance.

I can look into it, but any features I add to the toolkit would have to be compatible with all of the devices I support, which is over 90 now. It may not work with every device correctly.

Actually I misspoke. In bootloader mode it says that, but in download mode, the one with the black background instead of the white background, it works like a charm! That's a relief.
What works like a charm? It's not letting me install recovery because s is on. How did you get past that?

Recovery must be flashed while in download mode on the M9, not in bootloader. Flashing in bootloader is only possible if the device is S-OFF.

Hi guys, so the steps are the next:
1.- Unlock Bootloader Normally with the program.
2.- using this program Flash recovery but get into download mode manually(the program take to bootloader mode)
3.- ROOT.
Correct?
Thanks!

[Q] How to revert back to CM12 from OxygenOS

im having trouble reverting back to stock CM12 from OxygenOS, so im seeking help on XDA forums, Anyways, i keep getting this error. btw i cant insert photos since my post counts is not more than 10.
Code:
target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes
sending 'modem' <57361 KB>. . .
FAILED <status read failed <Too many links>>
finished. total time: 2.259s
i know i could always put a CM12 flashable zip into my phone and flash it through recovery but the problem is my computer cant detect my internal storage, only fastboot mode. I can go to recovery and fastboot just fine, i can boot into the os but for some reason my OS doesnt have any status bar or nagivation bar. its like the system ui is gone.
Any tutorials on how to revert back to stock from OxygenOS? i looked on youtube but it didnt help since i always get that error.
Thanks.

Go to my guide and follow section 8:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
Don't reboot between any of the commands though or you'll brick. The error you're getting is usually due to outdated adb/fastboot, so you need to update that first.

Thank you very much
I flashed my phone from CM12.1 to Oxygenos-2-1-4 today, but I don't like the oxygenos-2-1-4 mainly it does not have the feature of applying different Themes. My phone is not rooted.
I would like to know how to revert back to CM12.1
If you run into issues, make sure to flash aboot first and do a "fastboot reboot bootloader" to get booted into the stock bootloader (not the oxygenos one)
keep in mind, that the newest 2k1 factory image's cache.img and userdata_64G.img seem to be f2fs formatted, use those files from the JL image, if you want to flash any custom rom afterwards that doesn't fully support f2fs!

Hi.
Using your recovery, I get this:
"b3" devices; this is a "v521". Installer Error (Status 7)
Flashed to an older version of TWRP for the v521 and that worked. Thoughts?

What zip were you trying to flash? im guessing the first half of your error said "this package is meant for b3 devices..." or something along those lines. Im pretty sure the shabbypenguin 3.0.2.0 is b3 based, so it was generic or compatible with v521, v525 etc. . this is v521 only. I assume whatever zip you were trying to install only had the b3 assert. Most have "b3, v521" asserts in the update-script.
That error usually comes up when the recovery checks the assert in the zip you're installing, against the recovery default.prop and the v521 assert wasn't found in the zip package. So it failed because the recovery read the zip as being for another device.
Could also be your bootloader is outdated.

This started with my LTE is being slow like snail on LineageOS. Baseband wasn't showing up on status (showing unknown) so I was going to try to flash/upgrade the modem to see if that does anything. Would drop into TWRP and flash but would get that error saying this was made for a "B3" not a "V521".
So I decided to go back to stock and flash with this :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/development/rom-lg-stock-nougat-t3561088
But even that came up with the same errors So I downgrade to shabbypenguin's TWRP and then I was able to flash those packages. Went back to LG STOCK and tried the modem zips but to my original issue, still getting SLOW LTE speeds. Maybe my radios are kaput? APN looks correct comparatively to other US Tmobile APN settings.
You said it could be the bootloader. Wouldn't going back to stock (link above) or even flashing latest LineageOS or RR update it to the latest bootloader?

I'm in the same boat like the other guy was, every time time I try to wipe data through twrp it fails.. How am I supposed to wipe it?

Does this support encryption if I encrypt with Lineage? I'm hearing some issues with TWRP in general with encrypted Nougat devices.

Ah. Thank you.
Someone really ought to fix the LineageOS guide page for the v521
Now I just have to figure out how to downgrade to 20f without a Windows machine to run LGUP on. I tried in a VM with USB forwarding, but no dice. The USB debugging authorization gets confused when it connects to the host and then the VM...
Encryption does NOT work but I think this is Lineage problem or the device doesn't support it.
When a LineageOS update comes out, and it reboots to recovery, the recovery doesn't install anything. Is this the recovery's fault or LineageOS' fault?
I also have to run this every upgrade (TWRP loop): dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc count=1 bs=32

I'm in the same boat like the other guy was, every time time I try to wipe data through twrp it fails.. How am I supposed to wipe it?

Same here, I go to "Wipe" and swipe and I get various "failed to mount" errors.

You will need to format data on the wipe tab which will remove encryption and delete anything installed but will allow storage to mount.
