I can use the lki method to flash a recovery, this is so frustrating. BTW, I rooted my device on 11A then ota to 12B.
If you're on 12B then you need a recovery for 12B.

Firewater always fails

When I go through the process of executing firewater (Using the weaksauce method)is always get to "Opening first bottle: Chugging...." and then it fails every time. I have tried going through the process at least 10 times and it doesn't work. I'm not sure if the problem is from the SuperSU binaries not updating. Every time I tried to update the binaries after achieving root with weaksauce it always fails and says to reboot. I've been trying to get this to work for hours now and its just getting annoying. Anyone know how to fix this?

i have 2 verizon m8's and initial boot (where it says HTC in white), i have one that is BN from the verizon store that is just white, and one that was repaired by HTC that now says HTC, powered by android underneath right at initial boot. would that entail the bootloaders are different even though they have the same version number?

Probably someone who had installed custom splash broke the phone and sent it in on warrenty.. they probably just fixed the reported issue likely screen or something hardware so the splash is still there. That is kind of funnny though.

Seems like a lot of newer m8's are having this issue. Sunshine is confirmed to work with people having the "whelp" error.
It's $25, but well worth it in my opinion. Easy to use and easy way to support the developers.

So - what's the difference between 'whelp' devices and those where firewater works?
Different firmware version? Different bootloader?
Just trying to understand...

I'm thinking of trying sunshine, but if it doesn't work for some reason then I would have wasted $25

Yeah, I'm curious. Best to wait. I bet they patched Bump.

Hmm i wonder if we will hear from someone who took it. Of course, being cloudy's 10n base makes me laugh at finally getting 10f.

Cool! How does it run compared to 10d? Can you install bumped twrp? Root? I imagine it's possible AT&T included aspects from later builds, so theoretically you could get a decent jump in performance if they have.

Tried talking to AT&T to see what the update brings, they said that they couldn't see an update available, they tried looking for it for a while. But they did confirm Lollipop is coming in 1 to 2 months.

@thecubed did say that the 5.0/L update patched bump. Per this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56646539&postcount=356
I wouldn't be surprised if it's patched up here as well.
Not sure what this update is, but i'll personally be skipping it.

No doubt. They could have pulled a Samsung trick (I'm thinking the4.3 update that prevented downgrading)

Yeah the only thing is. This isn't Android L. It's a 4.4.2 incremental update. My guess is they caught on to bump. But as someone has said we can downgrade with the flash tool right now. But that might not be the case when lollipop is deployed.

since I know we can downgrade and re-root, I just took it and I'll use it for a while before reporting back in a few hours.

Unfortunately there's never been a way to convert the Verizon addition to a developer edition as far as I know. But with S OFF there is really no difference because the device is completely unlocked and you can do whatever you please with it.

I installed the 1122 build yesterday and everything was fine until I rebooted the ROM and I lost data completely and was unable to get it back. I heard of a few others complaining of the same issue.

I installed it a hour ago. No problems yet

I have been wanting to convert mine to a dev for a long time, and there are two different posts out on the m8 forum for this but they only work for the gsm versions such as international, tmobile and at&t. And I"am sure there has to be a way for our verizon m8 its just finding it, as ours is a world phone being both cdma and gsm, even if it had to only run on the gsm side it could still work if they get the volte update pushed out as part of L then there would be no need for cdma for us and we could just totally run off verizon lte which is actually gsm.
So this may be a possibility in the near future especially. I myself not only want the updates directly from htc which are faster but I would prefer to never ever again have to run verizon software / firmware because all verizon wants to do is lock us all out.
At least all the other carriers allow htc dev to unlock the bootloaders but verizon just likes to be total asses about this, I guess they think they are too big for there britches, for this exact reason I really wish I could switch to at&t but I dont have coverage for them at home with zero bars maybe some edge coverage 1% of the time never enough to use the phone on, and verizon is not much better with only getting 1x data and no plans to upgrade.
So I"am with all of you on this I would like to convert my verizon m8 to dev also and ditch verizon having any control over my phone ever again, as I pay them for service and not to try to lock down my phone which I"am supposed to legally own with honoring my side of the their 2 year contract.
But for that matter you can buy a phone at full retail price and they still try to lock you down.
