How are you trying to install it? Don't bother with Goo. I would use fastboot, that's what worked for me. Otherwise, read the TWRP thread and maybe you can get some other ideas as well. Hope that helps.

Quick, likely stupid, question. Do I even need twrp once I've completed weaksauce and s-off? Can I just flash from the stock recovery? Would I want to?
Only way that worked for me was through adb .. If you youtube it theres a dude on there that makes it very easy if you already have adb
---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------
I never used adb before I was use to using odin for samsung . than the first place I got the adb files from had borked files and I didn't realize it until 2 days later I thought I was just totally doing it wrong . anyway it wasn't the easiest phone I've ever rooted
You def want either TWRP or CWM. Also allows for nandroid backups which is a must.
Yea, I watched that too, rootjunky.com on youtube. Thing is, once he does s-off he can boot into a recovery screen (volume down + power) that SHOWS that it's unlocked now. I did S-off and cannot get into anything like that, just stock recovery.
I JUST got the M8 and there was an OTA out of the box; I'm thinking that killed S-off? Maybe I'm screwed until s-off is regained after that most recent update from Verizon?
I recommend brushing up on your ADB skills, it comes in use when you're in an emergency. My phone got stuck in a bootloop once when I flashed a mod that I shouldn't have, and recovery wouldn't detect my /sdcard/ partition on my GNex. I ended up having to learn how to sideload and push through adb to get all back in working order. fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery].img should do the trick.
Edit: Try adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader for that problem.

Hmmm I'm not positive.. I want say you should still be able to but I'm not sure . if I were you put a post up in the questions section maybe someone can help you
The OTA will not get rid of S-OFF, but you will need to re-root after taking the OTA. The easiest way I've found to flash a recovery is by using the Flashify app from the play store.
FINALLY got this on my device and running...but alas, having to go back to stock via twrp backup/restore.
Aside from the camera, which I could have dealt with for a bit, i guess I must have missed in the discussions here where you lose the ability to be on the phone and online at the same time.
That was a huge problem for me.
Guess I'll be waiting for something else or CM or something.

why not see whats going on in the sinless rom and see if you apply it here ? he has no bugs plus has the theme chooser running too . theres gotta be something in there that will help you out no ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2709397
That's based on gpe which was working for that version of the M8 in the first place. Nothing should have needed to be ported/modified to work like ours does.

If you notice in his OP, it says no support for CDMA devices. It seems he's having the same issues digital is getting it to work on our hardware.
I'm really confused as to why throwing CDMA into the mix messes with things like camera compatibility. Honestly I figured this would be a relatively easy and stable port. I mean, the hardware is identical and the drivers are there, right? So why's it so difficult to get going 100% on CDMA devices?
I'd love to learn more

Unfortunately, sinless is based on a working version of GPE for GSM phones. Since our phones are CDMA there are hardware specific items that need to be worked out. The hope is a Verizon compatible AOSP kernel, which currently does not exist, will fix the issues with this rom.
I don't want to put words into Digital's mouth but unless Sinless is actively working on a Verizon kernel, there probably isn't much to gain. The CM team is working on a kernel and I believe once they are done, that will open up the floodgates of AOSP development.

In a nutshell, the above assertion is mostly correct. I'm still not 100% where in the HAL the issue is, but I still maintain that we probably have a slightly different hardware revision for our camera, which is what's causing the problems...
On the CyanogenMod front, I've gotten in touch with Invisiblek, who is the CM developer tasked with fixing camera. He's let me know his thoughts on where the AOSP issues are. We talked back and forth a little, and pointed me in the direction of the "proprietary blobs", or in lay terms, the specific libraries and binaries HTC probably modified to work with camera.
I've since forked the proprietary trees for our device, and set about making up my own revision of the binaries based on a diff between M8_international and M8_VZW...as well as M8_International and M8_Sprint. Doing this, I came up with a pretty good collection of files that are "same" between all three, and vendor-specific stuff that is different to our device.
In addition, he hooked me up with a patch he wrote to allow the kernel to use three cameras...which is crucial.
So, it's taken me a while to put all of this together and get my compiler happy...and I'm still running into issues...but I think that using his patch and my proprietary files...it's possible that we're close to getting camera.
Either way, isolating the vzw-specific files should also be useful to figuring out wtf is wrong with our GPE build.
But, I've made progress both in terms of learning how building works, as well as talking to the important people in the process.
So, we're working on it, and I'll everybody appraised to any new developments (pun intended).

keep up the good work man. i keep checking this thread daily waiting for good news.
Not gonna fill a post with a quote almost a page long. Keep up the good work. Would love to get me some AOSP/CM on this beast. I wish I knew how to do some of this stuff but I haven't a clue. If I can help in ANY way though let me know.

Here's a couple things you can do. Well, you, and anybody else who maybe wants to help but doesn't know where to start or is too intimidated to try and dig into a ROM...
1. Learn how to install ADB for your OS and add it properly to the path so you can run it from command line. ADB is your friend. Once you figure out the various commands (there aren't a lot), you can save yourself a lot of time and headaches. You can reboot and reboot to recovery or fastboot. Instead of re-flashing a ROM every single time a file is updated, it's infinitely easier to just adb push the file and fix it's permissions using adb shell. Conversely, you can dump the entire system and boot image using like three commands. And more important than that...logcat. Hell, it's so important, it can be number two.
2. Logcat. There's a reason it's in my signature. Once adb works, you can do two things that are pretty neat. A, you can do "adb logcat", and see a real-time show of what Android is doing as you do stuff. Open a program...you see it. Turn off the screen...you see it. Press a button...you get the idea. It also shows you crashes, and the reasons the system thinks something is happening. Once you know how to read what it's saying, you can usually figure out what's wrong.
Like for camera...I push a bunch of stuff. Watch the logcat. It doesn't boot, but logcat tells me that it's because cameraservice.so is trying to start and can't find libBeautyChat.so. Give it that lib. Reboot. Watch and see it also needs another lib. Reboot. Watch and see that now, it's complaining about having more than 2 cameras...which is how I knew to ask dude about it and have him tell me there's a patch for it.
And then you can do adb logcat > filename.txt and have it write that to a file so you can read it more closely. Then you get to see any other errors that may only happen on boot, and anything else that may be of interest.
Logcat...it's your friend.
3. Extract a ROM and look at what's iniside. They're not magical robot symbols that only the phone can read. Most of the stuff (aside from libraries and binaries) can be opened and edited. Using grep (or in my case, a windows clone of it) will let you search within the files for key words...like wifi, or camera, or carrier. Either way, having a general understanding of the filesystem structure will be beneficial not only as a developer, but as a tester as well.
4. If you really want to get crazy, get APKtool. I just download it and put it next to wherever I have ADB. This will let you decompile and recompile APK's and Jarfiles...which again lends a $hitload of insight as to what's doing what where.
5. Don't be afraid. Aside from mucking around with your low-level partitions (radio, recovery, hboot...), there isn't a lot you can do that will outright brick your phone. Keep a nandroid handy, think twice every time you do something, and you should almost always be able to recover should you break something.
6. Get BEYOND COMPARE. It's a diff tool that lets you load up two folders side-by-side, then show which files are different and which are the same. You double-click, and it loads files up and gives you a line-by-line comparison. You can copy, edit, or remove anything you can see...
7. Notepad++. It has syntax highlighting for most everything you can think of, which is pretty damned helpful when dealing with code.
So yeah...there's another novella for you today. Sorry if I'm saying stuff you guys already know...but the above is literally the majority of what I use to do what I do. Download a ROM you want to port or edit. Download another ROM that has what you want. Decompile the frameworks you need (telephony-common.jar, framework.jar, framework2.jar, services.jar, framework-res.apk) for both ROMS, load em up in Beyond Compare, and start looking. Make changes. Recompile. Adb push. Cross fingers...Logcat. Repeat.
That's it. Two years ago, I knew zip about android. One day, I got pissed at another dev because I (as a noob) tried to make a contribution to HIS rom and he didn't like that. So, I took and learned how to make my own port...and here we are.
Whew...

248Team "Brown Eye Winking" Presents:
Digitalhigh GPE - The ORIGINAL GPE for HTC M8
(often imitated, never duplicated!)
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU'RE HERE TO POST A QUESTION OR ISSUE REGARDING THE ROM, PLEASE READ THE OP AND SECOND POST ENTIRELY.
If this is your first time visiting, please be sure to read this and post #2 THOROUGHLY, as I have tried to address many common issues and questions in them. If you ask a question that is addressed here, you will most certainly get a facepalm meme aimed directly at you.
Hi! I'm Digitalhigh, and welcome.
What is this ROM?
This ROM is a mostly vanilla port of the International 5.1 Google Play Edition ROM for the HTC M8 with minimal modification and tweaks. GPE Roms are similar to AOSP in that they are lacking in the custom "skin" that OEM's like HTC and Samsung's respective Sense and Touchwiz use. However, unlike pure source-built ROMS, GPE contains certain features found in OEM ROM's. Specifically, this GPE supports boomsound, motion launch gestures, and the Duo FX camera.
What makes this ROM somewhat unique is that the installation process has been meticulously designed to be incredibly modular and allow for as much or as little customization as desired. Aside from the changes needed to make it work on Sprint and Verizon and updates to Google applications and frameworks, it is possible to install a nearly 100% stock GPE ROM. On the other hand, it's entirely possible to tailor nearly every element of the ROM's applications and performance variables.
In short, it's like an erector set for flashaholics who want some Sense in their Cyanogenmod...or maybe the other way round.

Integrate RomDB app with Settings.apk Updated beyondstock kernel, fixes issue with touch on MultiROM Updated elite kernel, improved smoothness Clean up unused install scripts Fix dark themed Google Launcher Fix issues with Google backup From @loserskater's ROM: Customizable NavButtons Customizable NavRing Navbar height on the fly... no more reboots Expandable volume panel Volume marker sound on/off Ability to remove lock screen short cuts Weather in notification pull down Date in clock mod Ambient display / notificaions only, pick up is disabled Change DPI (play store still thinks 480) Audio boost (testing) 02.10.15 EXPERIMENTAL - Merge of APN's from CM12, hopefully allows for unified framework-res. May cause issues for Sprint/GSM users. Minor update to Elite Kernel Slight changes to permissions on /data/app in install, hopefully fixes errors. Added wipe to dalvik-cache, should help with certain issues. Fixed incorrectly sized "back" key when changing navbar height. Added newest "dark" extrasettings app - adds Quicksettings options.

MOAB seems to be done, so I made this one myself. 02.05.15 Fixed the fact that all the CM12 apps I added couldn't actually install Hardcore overhaul to the installer. Well, hardcore for me. Couple screens changed for you. Added a partially-broken Blinkfeed. Give me time. Updated a bunch of gapps. It's hard to keep track, but if it came out between the last release and now, it's in here. Added pushbullet...because it's awesome. Added HTC Keyboard. More fun stuff in extrasettings. Woot woot. OTA. It kinda works. I said that already. Gapps can be uninstalled again. The gapps you pick get installed, instead of the one below it. Updated Sense Camera to latest version, then hacked it to enable all the features. *puts on cool sunglasses* Stared blankly at the .smali for Sense Facebook app for like an hour and got nowhere. Robots will eat your brain. Ooga booga. 01.31.15 Removed Lyapota's modpack, replaced with "Extra Settings" courtesy of loneskater & team. This features *most* of the settings provided by Modpack - only you can control them from the control panel. Very awesome.

Updated google play games, play services, HTC Services, HTC TV, Google Messenger, and Youtube. Removed "mods" menu entirely from installer, condensed remaining mods into apps menu, now called "addons". Added OTA Support 01.21.15 Fixed "Hey, you said the Duo FX worked but they don't!" - Re-added PhotoEdit apk - needed by gallery. 01.20.15 Potential memory leak fix included from LolliSense Sense Cam/Gallery now 95% functional. Only thing not working is Zoes. Updated to SuperSU 2.45 Stable Updated Youtube, GMS core to latest versions. Added option for Gcam to save to /SDCard 01.14.15 Updated HTC Gallery to stock lollipop APK. (Note, duo fx are missing atm...working on it) Updated HTC Camera to stock lollipop APK.

Fixed all mod installs now - REBOOT REQUIRED after first boot for DB changes to show up Updated Skydragon kernel to latest version Sense Camera - Using *actual* M8 APK, versus modded M7 Version. All changes done by me. Video recording now works in Sense Cam. Gallery images now show in lower-right. FX Should work now. You can view recorded videos. ZOE still crashes, gallery doesn't fully load. Overhaul of installer - dialogues should now be formatted the same. Modified SuperSU installer to match installer theme. Updated mainver to correct value in firmware (not required to reflash if coming from the 05 or 05bugfix release, just aesthetic) Updated SD logic, doesn't try copying to internal SD, as there's no point. Incorporated Lyapota's modpack changes to android.policy.jar. Probably more...but again...it was a late night. 12.05.14_bugfix Added Sense Camera. Zoe, slomo not working yet...WIP. Mileage may vary...but it's something. We're up to FOUR different kernels. Elite by Buckmarble, BeyondStock by Captain_Throwback, Skydragon by HolyAngel, and plain ol' stock.

Temp disabled AOSP browser till it's fixed. 12.03.14 New 5.0.1 base (No, really) Update SuperSU to v 2.37 Update Era, Viper4A to latest versions More, but I'm just too tired to think right now... 11.28.14 Added Advanced Power Menu with custom Material-themed icons Busybox updated and installation method improved SuperSU updated to latest version Wifi thresholds lowered for more aggressive wifi/cell handoff Custom performance tweaks, tuned for M8 Adblock HOSTS file made optional Updated adblock HOSTS file Added Lollipop File Manager as optional app Installer now has automatic multicarrier detection Updated installer graphics with material design icons Cleaned installer progressbar timings Unified multicarrier framework-res Updated 5.0 firmware for Sprint users - fixes touchscreen in MultiROM Fixed Viper4Android, updated version Added Viper4Android sound profiles Fixed ProjectEra's Dolby F/C Custom default wallpaper 11.26.14: Adjusted logic for firmware installer - should now pick between SD/external automatically Added ProjectEra and Viper4Audo sound mods to installer Updated "extra" apps to latest version Added "cast screen" fix to init.d script 11.21.14: Added script to detect presence of SD Card and extract firmware to correct location. Added logic to make it boot into fastboot from installer...and it actually works! Cleaned up graphics, colors in installer. Should be a lot more purdy now. Added "remove BrowserProxyProvider" as an optional "app/mod". This *seems* to fix the lag with Chrome, and possibly facebook as well? Left chrome in place when installing - will work out moving it to make uninstallable in future releases. Added init.d script to delete firmware from SD after first boot. Houskeeping, yall! Modified android-info.txt in firmware to reflect proper mainver value of 3.10.1700.5. Standalone FW now same as what's in ROM. My bad! Updated play services to latest version. 11.20.14 It's a celebration, bit#hes 11.18.14 (2) Updated Google Play services to 6.5. You may want to delete google play app data after flashing. 11.18.14 New Aroma theme. Baked-in lagfix. Option to copy CFW to SDCard. Cleaned up installer, removed options. "Extra" Gapps moved to /data, can be uninstalled. Possible BT Streaming fix. 11.16.14 Fixed stuff. 11.15.14 Fixed SD Issues Fixed Lag Issues Added Writeprotect removal module All quiet on the Western Front? 11.14.14 Updated to v 5.0 OP needs updating! 10.30.14 Updated Following Play Apps: Slides Games plusOne Drive Sheets Docs Wallet Play Services 10.29.14 Fixed SystemUI.apk to use correct buttons.

New GoogleEars.apk from play store - moved to data/app Updated Herathon-based theme to v 3.1 version. 10.23.14 - Added a buttload of actual Lollipop apps: Calendar Gmail w. Exchange/outlook/yahoo integration Play Music Keyboard Google Home Google Search Google Now Talkback Messenger (Think MMS.apk with material design) Play Store Camera Additionally, the majority of other included apps feature material design, including: Docs Photos Sheets Slides Videos Games It also has all of the fonts, sounds, wallpapers, and the boot animation from the latest preview. File's at 18% now, should appear in the link I posted with the screenshots in a bit. I need to sleep. :P Also included latest Heads Up! apk, the herathon/material theme, and HK Theme Manager as an option in installer. 08.07.14 - Fixed issues with Lunar kernel causing bootloops in certain cases. 08.04.14 - Made "L" stuff more optional - framework-res for animations, systemUI for IC stuff, settings.apk for settings, and a new headsup app. You can pick each component to install. All three MMS apps in the ROM are now fixed for size stuff. Because I'm replacing a core system app (Hangouts), there *MAY* be issues if you have an updated version of it installed as well. I got a bunch of google f/c's after dirty flash - rebooting seems to fix this. Replaced the heads-up apk with a better one that's free, and works in all rotations. Forced rotation is now an optional system mod in the installer. SD camera is now an optional system mod in the installer. Hot reboot now works as expected, instead of making the phone bootloop. The torch apk works as expected. As an additional happy accident, the flash mini-app in the dotview mod module for xposed now works. Re-added several of the init.d scripts for optimization (not the one that makes it optimize apps every time ) Added the proper ART fix. Now with free cookies! 08.03.14 - Add MrJayDee's data drop fix. Modify framework.jar to force all apps into auto-rotate. Complete overhaul of VZW/carrier settings from Stock. Android L features made optional again. Updated to latest Luna kernel. Luna kernel now has working CIFS! (requires CIFSmanager, must mount share to mnt/cifs/foo) Updated Kernel tuner to kernel tuner 2014. Fixed wipe settings in installer to allow selection of wipe options. Updated several system apps, including dotview and HTC TV. Optional camera app modded to allow writing to SD_external. More sprockets than ever!

Last Updated 2014-12-1258Okay, so, here's the scoop.
Me, HolyAngel, and Captain_throwback have ALL had the official release for a good chunk of time already. Not the one I've posted...but the release-keys, official, OTA version that will start kicking out tomorrow.
However, we were asked to keep it under our hats, so we tried.
But, people scavenging AFH found his version, so now all bets are off and I'm uploading the highly polished version I've been preparing to release later this evening.
So, screw it. It's going up. It's official. It's got newer firmware, bluetooth works perfectly, chromecast is good...it's damned solid all-around.
Oh, and it supports ALL carriers, and Captain_Throwback has asked me to take over official duties, so I will have a multiversion ready for you just as soon as my internet will let me.
Must put the son to bed...more details soon.55Kernel/Mod Addendum:

52So, I've got some bad news...
I had planned on releasing a 120214 build today using our current version that had updated Viper4A, updated project ERA, fixed HOSTS file, updated SuperSU, Ambient Display, even more refinements to the tweaks and enhancements, and a few more uninstallable system apps.
But that is just not going to happen tonight.
It saddens me to have to inform you guys, but I've been forced by extenuating circumstances...to release a 120214 build today using the NEW RC build from HTC. You know, the one Mo Versi said was going to be delayed again? Yeah...that one. Well, we got our hands on it, and I have no idea what Google is on, because this thing is like buttered butter. It's like somebody covered a slip n' slide in KY jelly.
And yes, in the four hours we've had it now, we've been able to rip it apart, decompile the boot.oat, and add in all the APM mods. Plus I've got Ambient Display for you guys. And I fixed the g0$*#mn HOSTS file for adblocking.
So yeah. Get your donate buttons ready. If you were like "Man digitalhigh, this is the most ridiculously awesome ROM ever." with the previous builds, you're gonna cream in your tighty whities over this baby. I'm serious.
I'm doing what is hopefully my final test flash here, and then I will be uploading for your consumable goodness. AND I might actually go to bed before midnight one night this week. Score for me.46Wow. Pretty sad reading through here, between the squabbling and the noobs asking stupid questions and not providing any useful information, despite my repeated requests for stuff like logcats, what version you flashed, or what firmware you're on.
I'm happy to try helping, but this is getting ridiculous. I couldn't even post new info on builds if I wanted to... It'd just get swept away in two minutes.
If you're not providing the info I request ad nauseum, I will simply report your post for deletion. I don't have enough time to develop, have a life, and babysit this thread.
