Hey, thanks for porting this over for us!! I've been saying for a while I want pure stock Android. Well, GPE/Nexus, not, you know, AOSP without Google. I like DH's GPE port, but it's got a ton of tweaks and whatnot. I wonder if I will truly enjoy a pure stock experience.
I will test this tomorrow night. Have you had any problems with GPS? Typically, ROMs that are not Sense have a tendency to lose it.

This ROM won't boot on the verizon htc one m8 with latest firmware. I waited twenty minutes to boot. I felt my phone, and it was hot to the core. I turned the phone off and ran another gpe. However, the other worked seamlessly.
I honestly don't understand why this problem happened with my device.
Thank you for this build. I never got the chance to try full stock.

I haven't had any issues with gps dropping out all all. I travel a lot for my job and have been running the same version as posted for the past 5 days straight.
Check out and let me know if you have any issues

I'm not sure what went wrong. The rom does boot on the Verizon M8. If you check out the screenshots, those are screenshots taken from my phone. The only thing that comes to mind is if you have you have switched to f2fs instead of ext4 which this rom needs. Maybe bad download?!?!? I'm not sure but the rom does boot and run. It does take a while for the rom to boot. It's too early to tell whats going on just yet.

Bootloops on VZW

What you mean to say is that it bootloops for you. I'm on Verizon as the screenshots clearly show. It takes at least 10 mins before the spinning circles roll into Android and the phone finshes booting. I'm replying to this post by using the same rom.

Probably be good to point this out in the OP since people using DH's GPE have the ability to use F2FS, albeit his latest release having some issues with it.

Any chance you might need to be supercid as well, haven't tried to boot this yet but thought I might bring it up as I remember a lot of people were having problems trying to boot DH's lollipop when he first released it because of that.

I didn't supercid myself. I changed everything in the build.prop to match Verizon by removing any other cid and replacing it with our own. I haven't done anything special to get this to boot on my end. I have the usual set of characters. S-off unlocked, bootloader, latest firmware, latest TWRP, and root. Nothing else special at all.
This rom has no mods or anything else that would make it prone to any issues as far as booting up and running on our M8's. It's the same rom the Google put out except with everything needed for Verizon.

There may be some people who are using DH's 5.1 firmware as well which might be causing issues. You recommend being on the 5.0.1 firmware for this, right?
I want to check this out!

I'm using his 5.1 firmware also. I was running his rom prior to porting this over with no issues

Just to clarify, bootloops and endless boot are very different animals. A boot loop loads the Android OS and then reboots automatically, usually instantly. (I once had a bootloop, on another device, that gave me about a minute.) Endless boot means it just doesn't boot. If this is anything like DH's GPE, first boot will take 8 minutes and change. Maybe less as it has fewer apps to optimise for. Legit 20 minutes is endless boot. I'd say to give up after 12-15.
I wonder if maybe using another kernel might work? I don't know what all needs to be changed to get an international ROM to work on an American phone, but I'd guess the kernel would be one of them.
Just speculating as I haven't tried it yet.

Sorry for late response.
But in my case, I have the latest fw for the verizon htc one m8.
I was NOT saying it does not boot on "THE" HTC One M8. I was trying to say it didn't boot on MY phone. Sorry for the confusion.
The Rom would not boot, as dragontology said, I have the endless boot. The phone was hot and wasn't responding. The boot animation was working but was on for about twenty to thirty minutes until I stopped it.
I clean flashed the rom. I am not running digital high's 5.1 firmware.
Please, I hope that I did something wrong because I really want to try stock GPE.
Thank you DEV for your hard work.
EDIT: I am also not supercid.

Actually the reported download size exceeds 577mbs. I will try to flash within the next two hours.
Sorry...

Is there any way to get Hotspot working? I have unlimited and need it.
Thanks

I honestly have no idea why the rom isn't booting for you guys other than whats been mentioned. The kernel is the exact same one that came in the original rom. I didn't change it either. Honestly, when testing the rom before porting it, all I did was make the changes in the build.prop for Verizon. It's actually a straight forward port. It was a lot easier than it was coming for older JTC devices that i ported roms for.

Hotspot is already unlocked by default. It is under Settings, More and Tethering & portable hotspot.

Maybe someone who has successfully flashed the rom will chime in. I can't be the only one!!

I just flashed it successfully this afternoon, still setting things up (I've never had to install xposed on 5.1 before, had to figure it out). VZW, DH's 5.1 firmware (came from his Rom), ext4 everything. First boot took about 6 min and I haven't had a problem yet.
My only question so far is does this come with a camera? Maybe I'm blind. If so, does it work with duo effects?

Whew, Glad you got it to work brother. Duo camera? Im not sure. there is a camera app. It's the stock google camera. Should be on the bottom right of the launcher. I'll check on duo camera.
UPDATE: Just took a picture and went to edit it. it had the option of HTC photo edit and photos. I picked HTC photo edit and it had the options for UFocus and Dimension Plus under effects. Hope thats what your looking for.

Alright, sorry I just got back. Yes, the Rom booted perfectly. It is running buttery smooth!!! Sorry man...
I never get good downloads with MEGA. It always looks better but does something weird.
Downloaded the second time with Google Drive. This time the Rom flashed.
Hey undarated, don't worry man. This thing works perfectly!

Help with unrooting Galaxy S6 CM13 6.0

I need some help unrooting my S6 with cm13 6.0, I installed the cm13 and the camera and flashlight isn't working, also the screen seems a little fuzzy in some rare cases. I wanted to see if it's the cm13 that malfunction the apps. So I want to change back to stock firmware. I was told that if I was flashed to 6.0 I cannot use the old 5.0's firmware to flash and instead I would need 6.0 stock firmware to flash. I want to test out if the phone still malfunctions in stock firmware, if so I will send it in for repair. Please help, thank you.

Wtf dude... did you read bugs of cm13... its not even an alpha rom... download stock BTU firmware a guy just posted minutes ago... you wont have any problems and you dont need to send it for repair

All of the malfunction was fixed by flashing to another rom. I am back at 5.1 Loli now. I also tried the BTU files and they don't seem to work.

In a right mess trying to return to stock

Please could someone help ! I'm trying to unlock my XT1032. I have the correct Sim-Unlock (network unlock) code from my old telco, but... it won't work because the phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked (S-ON) running CM13.
I figured that returning it to a stock build would allow me to unlock the phone, then I could re-root and return to CM13 on my new network.
However..... there are about a dozen guides on returning a Moto G to stock and the first one I tried left the phone stuck on the 'Warning: Bootloader is unlocked' message. Since then, I've tried several other guides and have got nowhere fast. I've been on this for four hours now and the only thing I seem to be able achieve is to get TWRP or CWM recovery on there by flashing from fastboot. Every other image I try either gives 'preflash validation failed' messages, sticks on the Bootloader Unlocked screen or gets it stuck in a bootloop!
I just want to switch networks... Why is this so bloody difficult ?

What Firmware did your XT1032 originally come with? or which Carrier?

Kitkat I think, and it's Tesco (UK).
I subsequently did the OTA update to Lollipop and then.... WHOAAAAA.... hold on... it's booting !!!
I don't know how, or what I've done to get this far, but the only thing I can think of that's changed is that the battery is now at 100% charge. It appears as though it's successfully flashed the 5.1 untouched ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=7981#downloads
But, I've tried flashing that loads of times this evening and it's failed everytime.
Having said that it's booting, it's sitting here on the Motorola logo - and it hasn't got that far in the last five hours.... I'll be back shortly !
Update: It worked ! It completed the boot, I put the new SIM in, it asked for the unlock code and this time it worked OK. Now I'm tackling putting CM13 back on it. I think I'll stick with TWRP rather than CWM recovery, as long as TWRP can handle the automatic updating for the CM nightlies.
I have no idea what went wrong there - maybe it was just that the battery had to be at 100% ?? Who knows... Thankfully I doubt I'll be tackling that again !

I don't know if things have changed, but I would be careful with OTA Updates in CM. People have hard-bricked (phone is effectively destroyed) applying updates in this way. I also suggest you avoid official Motorola updates, rather use the factory firmware images available here: (which already include the content of OTA Updates)
[INDEX] Moto G [Falcon][Peregrine] Factory Firmware Images​

Thanks for replying anyway mate. In the end, it's all good now. Unlocked and back on CM13 and on my new network !

Ahhh... not so good after all. The phone reboots every time you try to uninstall an app. I've tried flashing back to CM12.1, the latest stable release, and it does the same, so I've obviously screwed something up along the way.
Could someone help me flatten this thing completely and get it working normally please?
I've tried reflashing loads of times, even tried Cyanogen Recovery instead of TWRP but nothing I do gets rid of this reboot problem.
Can anyone assist please?

OK, so I've followed the procedure detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510 and flashed the Untouched 5.0.2. EU Stock ROM successfully, but it still reboots when you try to uninstall any app.
Whatever it is that's causing this is not getting overwritten by the flashing procedures I'm using is it ?
HELP !!!!!

@aneng64 - You have not done what I told you to do. Read my post again.

Yes I did... and I still had the same problem. It was only once I stopped trying to flash zips from TWRP and used mfastboot to flash the whole set individually (non-hlos, motoboot etc) that I got it to behave. The issue, incidentally, seemed to be the same one mentioned elsewhere here that also causes settings to crash when you try to go into settings, security.
Once it was stable with a stock ROM, I was able to flash CM13 again and it's now sorted. Thanks for your help anyway.

inactive due to borked s5....... upgrade possibilties

Ok,,,,here is my plight...
about 6 months ago my s5 became unusable due to the fact that concrete and GS5's dont play well together...becoming more and more frustrated having to use an older phone (HTC ONE M7) i went ahead and threw caution to the wind and bought a new LCD digitizer for my GS5 and hoped for the best...
replaced my digitizer and VIOLA !! my phone booted and was exactly the same as it was the day before concrete and LCD collided..
after booting it up went in to check everything and all seems well....root was still good,,,just had to upgrade everything and move on..
my problem is that since it has been a while there have been so many changes as far as updates,,ROMs,,and other techniques i need to find out the steps to take and what would be my best plan of attack..
i am on MOAR v2.2 NE5 and when i installed that back when i first got the phone tripped KNOX,,but i dont think that is too much of a concern at this point...or is it ??
i have read alot of things about going to Lollipop but am not sure if i need to do anything except find a Firmware and flash it with Kies or if ODIN is a better way to go....it would be great if i were able to just jump right to MM but i know the chances of that happening are <0....
any help would be appreciated
thank you in advance

Well the latest version for this phone currently is Marshmallow, and there is a great mm n5 rom that is still a work in progress, but i reccomend downloading the full marshmallow restore tar file and using odin to update, then flash recovery, and then a rom of your choosing (currently the n5 rom or a version of cm13). But to flash a lollipop rom download the OK4 lollipop restore file (last version of lollipop 5.0) and do the same process.

hadn't heard much so i went ahead and downloaded an OK4 firmware and flashed with ODIN....works flawlessly setting up now

surprisingly enough,,,it kept all of my settings from MOAR.....hafta say that i am shocked.....gotta love Android

Can't load firmware on Odin phone bricked

I recently rooted my phone to try and recover some deleted pictures after the phone completely crashed and wouldn't load up , I have tried to install an original firmware using Odin but I keep getting the same message about not being authorized . Am I installing the wrong files or am I not doing something thathat causes it to fail?

Where did you download the firmware? Are you sure you're using the correct version?
Are you on a G930T or a G935T?
I had the same problem on mine before, what solved it was downloading a later version of the firmware, as you can't downgrade just like that.
You can download the latest firmware from Sammbile. (I would link but I have less than 10 posts.
The T stands for T-Mobile, and the 930 is the regular, 935 is the edge. If you're not T-Mobile, you're in the wrong section, but I'm still glad to help once I obtain more information.

Always flash the most recent firmware becasue if you don't remember chances are you can flash an old version and run into issues, so to be safe flash the latest available firmware. Also when you first rooted did you change the CPU governor or run/install anything that could have caused the bootloop in the first place?

You can install this awesome rom to speed things up don't worry it's a stock rom so no Knox trip. The link I will provide also has instructions. So to get started I recommend making a backup of applications with titanium backup which might require the pro so unfortunately you may have to buy a full version( if you don't want to spend money you can patch the app with lucky patcher). And I recommend checking out this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...stockdeodexeddebloatedrom-7-10-t3415952/page1
It is somewhat debloated and has the best speed I've seen yet... Ive been using it for a month now and I love it!
