added bootloader and splash screen to OP

Is there a thread describing the installation process and pre-requisites?

I assume flashing this bootloader on normal m8 will result in GE dark bootloader?

@graffixnyc Would this be ok to flash on an Att m8

brujoand · Apr 10, 2014

I'm sorry if this is a retarded question. But what is the difference between flashing this ROM --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2706441 and using the recovery from this thread?

If I change one of MID's to mine will it flash properly, without any adverse effects?

Installed the gpe recovery, adb said installed ok. If I boot into bootloader then recovery I get the dead android icon which stays on screen for 1 minute then the phone reboots

Secondly the command to fastboot oem RebootRUU gives

ERR command error?

Phone is unlocked, Rooted, S-off and Super CID

the stock recovery requires a button press to show once the android is on ur screen, i think its vol up+pwr or vol dwn+pwr
also the command is fastboot oem rebootRUU it is case specific.

I dumbly followed the instructions on page one which says RebootRUU lol. I should know better

If we flash this can we ever go back to sense? And do we need to wipe data after we flash?

I too would like to know this. I wouldn't mind the dark splash screen but want to make sure there are new ill effects.

I flashed then to my AT&T m8,but upon boot it sat at the splash screen. I booted into recovery and it said I didn't have an OS installed to /system. So I had to flash the GPE RUU to get back going.

Oh wow, thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure if I'm ready to convert to a Gpe device just yet. I'll stick with what I have.

I thought it would, but I believe the system partition is smaller. I flashed it thinking I could have dark boot loader with my sense ROM, but it wiped my phone and I couldn't install venom back on my device, and it wouldn't boot. Finally thought it might be boot loader related so when I flashed back it worked again. But even with hboot back to the Dev hboot it says version 3.16 or whatever the gpe boot loader version is.

Is 3.16 the hboot version on all HTC m8s? I may have been mistaken in my previous post
