I have been using this one for a while now - seems really sturdy and has worked really well. Plus, you know, different colors. This one is 10' but I believe they make them in different lengths. BEst of luck, enjoy your phone...

Having come from a GPE Rom on my M8, I missed having Google Now on the pane to the left as well. I installed Nova Launcher and placed the Google Now widget on the left swipe pane and I was also able to place the HTC weather clock widget on my home screen. While it is true that the GN widget only...

I was having that issue the first time I upgraded from the 5.1. version to 6.0. All of my notifications were crazy quiet. I ended up doing RUUing back to an early version (can't remember which - maybe 4.4? Maybe 5.0) then installing a basic (no mods, stock kernel) full install of the 5.1...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, using fastboot commands to send it through. Thanks for the feedback, it's possible I was using an older version of ADB/Fastboot, I'll have to look into that. If that's the culprit I'll edit the post.

Worked for me... eventually Sharing my own experiences in case they help someone... I needed to downgrade my insurance replaced M8 in order to Sunshine. First I tried the .exe version but it seemed to just sit there forever (waited at least 10 minutes each time). Switched to pushing the img...

Thanks for the suggestions. I held pow and vol+ for 10 seconds, pow and vol - for ten seconds.. I held pow and vol + and vol - for two minutes. No joy. I called HTC, they were super nice and very helpful, but unfortunately none of their suggestions helped. They had me plug it into my pc to see...

Thanks andybones, I was hoping someone like you would reply (I've been following your work since running BoneStock on my SIII - we have similar taste in stripped down OS's). There should have been plenty of juice on it, I think I was in the 60% range last time I booted. In fact, the phone was...

I wanted to make a clean start on my phone after flashing way too many ROM's, so I RUU'd via HBOOT using a .zip on my Ext SD card. I used Dottat's 5.0.1 file. Everything seemed to work fine. Once I got up and running and rebooted, I went back into my bootloader (vol - + power) and did a factory...

Scott Is The Best This has been a long time coming. Scott, thank you for the continued work you do for us. I've been running CR since my GSIII and your ROMs have been my daily drivers for years. Please keep up the good work. It's not much, but I wanted to be sure to show my appreciation with...

I will gladly donate... I will gladly donate on a new phone for Scott if that means he will bring us into the Lollipop world... I'll keep my eye on this thread and hop onto a concerted effort... I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Scott, you are the best ever, I've been on CleanROM since my...

ES Explorer says I have r/w access to /system but I'm not sure how to test this

I thought some of you might be interested in this... I was rooted on my SPG511 with locked bootloader, having used TowelRoot12.2. I was using the paid version of SuperSU and had enabled Survival Mode. I just took the OTA to 4.4.4 and much to my surprise I still had root after the upgrade! So...

I live in US and got notification that I had a download available on the 5th. I just upgraded via update on tablet this morning with no issues. Also, I was rooted but not unlocked and was able to keep root (SuperSU Survival Mode)

Kept root I was rooted with locked bootloader on an older version of the firmware, having used the EasyRootTool v12.2. I was using the paid version of SuperSU and had selected Survival Mode. I just upgraded to 4.4.4 (resigned to no more root) but much to my surprise I still had root after the...

Can I Still get OTA's? I'm receiving my Tablet Z2 in the mail today and I am excited to be able to have root access without losing warranty. With Root access via the steps outlined in the OP, will I still be able to get OTA updates? If I want to upgrade to the latest version, am I good to go or...
