Ext Sd card fix (flashable zip) - AT&T HTC One (M8)

Hey guys, well as we all know the HTC One M8 launched with KitKat, so that comes in with the new permissions set by Google regarding the ext storage.. My friend was having trouble moving files and downloading to the external sd card with his shiny new M8, so I made this flashable zip for him and everything is working how its always worked with previous android versions.. I don't own this device but I thought I'd share this zip for those who want to stay stock but want to have full control to the external storage.. What I did is on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617921 and made it into a flashable zip, so I cannot take full credit for this.. Download is attached
As usual, take precautionary measures and make a nandroid.. I can't be held responsible for anything that you do with your phone.
Moving on...
1) Download zip
2) Move to internal or ext storage if downloaded from pc or other device
3) Enter custom recovery and flash
4) Reboot
5) Profit

Anyone else try this yet?

I did. Works perfect.

Apologies, but new at this. I assume I have to root first. By enter custom recovery, are you talking about TWRP? I assume this is all done on the phone and does not need PC intervention?
Thanks

Well you don't really need root just a custom recovery, and yes like twrp.. No PC intervention if you have twrp, just download the zip and flash

I guess i'll go unlock the bootloader now.

Is this zip just the platform.xml? I was just wondering cause all I did was add a new uid to my platform.xml and it fixed it, just curious.

That's opening up a whole can of worms, that have many variables. I tell ppl this when they ask installing a recovery or root etc etc.
Technically as soon as you root your device your warranty is void. Now, I'm totally against the ppl that don't read or know what they are doing, break there device and go crying to the carrier, claiming falsely what happened. The bottom line is, if you have a true problem and return that phone in the condition you got it, software wise, I see no harm no foul. JMO of course.

I'm not starting a argument or trying to derail this thread , I just have one question. Just for the sake of argument So, if you return a phone in 100% stock how could they complain? I've made a insurance claim because my home key on my note 2 fell out. I mailed it back with CM on it lol. They didn't say nothing. I'm sure if I handed it in personally ,it would of been a different story. I'm just curious how you feel about it.

Issue with flash
I have a Tmoblile rooted HTC one. I downloaded the file in the first post. It came through as a folder. So I zipped it up. I flash into recovery and use the install feature in TWRP v2.7.0.2. I navigate to the file I zipped up (file name HTCM8_sd-fix.zip) and flash it it fails at Error flashing zip /sdcard/HTCM8_sd-fix.zip' Updating partition details....
What should I be doing differently to get past this error?

Problem trying to root.

I have a ATT sgh-1717 samsung note with Android 4.0 on it. I tried to root it this morning using Odin3 and pda.tar. It passed but I am unable to put on the next file Superuser 3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. It just goes to a black screen with samsung logo. If I hold down the volume up and down at the same time as the power button I am able to go into Clockwork mode. I can not reboot my phone. What can I do at this point? Is there a way to copy the zip file to the sd card on my phone? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated! I have been reading all day and am quite frustrated at this point. Of course my schedule is on my phone....Thank you so much.

Put it on Download mode and go back to stock and try again. and Superuser can be install from the PlayStore
Take the sd card out and put it in a pc and copy the file to the sd card.

You. are right! I don't understand. I followed a guide and got stuck, now I am trying to get some help. I just wan to get my phone up and running. Please point me in the right direction.
I found the easiest way for me was to download custom Rom to sd.move it to external.odin cwm then flash twrp.reboot to recovery n wipe all caches.system.internal.not external.then install ur custom Rom.reboot system n let Rom settle.most roms already have the rooted files.if ur planning to stay stock.there's plenty of present roms for that.n make sure all the devs get their thx :thumbup:

[Q] TWRP Restoring problems

the other day i tried restoring a back up via TWRP but it didnt work until i fastboot flashed boot.img...Alright so i updated my TWRP via goomanager app to the latest version (whatever is on there via goomanager) as in the TWRP forum discussions it was stated that previous versions were not working properly wihen restoring. So today i flashed a new ROM (NOS ROM) but that didnt work so i decided what better time than now to try restoring again, no dice didnt work and i had to fastboot flash the boot img for the restore file to take and boot up just fine again...ok peeps what am doing wrong??? again im fairly new at this flashing ROMS scene but i thought witht he TWRP update i would be good to go. Am i missing some settings ticks/options/checks? i saw a check box that said "recovery" i think in the restore or back up process dont remember which process. i tried going onto the TWRP discussion but it is locked down and states that there will no longer be any support for it...should i just switch to CWM?? thanks in advance to whom ever replies

What did you have checked while making the backup? data? recovery? cache? system? and did you rename the back up?
System, data and boot are checked...I didn't mess with the options just hit restore and let it do it's thing...should I change something or check the other 2 boxes (one of them being "recovery" forgot what the other option was)?

also some roms are picky about which recovery is used to install/backup. I can say I have had no issues backing up stock or custom roms with twrp on my DNA
Alright sounds good maybe later on tonight when I'm at my computer just in case thank you for the tips I as well haven't had much trouble flashing ROMS with TWRP, albeit I've only tried flashing 2 or 3 been very happy with ViperDNA just wanted to check out different ones and easily restore back to viper

That's exactly what I was trying when all this happened...I flashed it via flash gui app like I've been doing but for some reason it didn't work...when I went to unlock screen it would pull up HTC splash screen and just stay stuck there... I'm not S-off yet so would that have something to do with NOS ROM not functioning?

I may have misread but did you wipe everything before loading nos? I saw what was checked for backup but not about wiping. You should wipe everything-system, then cache, then delvik cache-not exactly in that order (make SURE there IS a backup just in case). Load the rom AND flash the correct image file with adb. Also, many roms when FIRST loading up sit a long time before they start up, not sure if nos does this or not-I have been jumpy about the time sitting with a few roms when waiting was all I needed to do. I have had different Viper versions on a few times and moving to another rom was quirky each time I did so, not sure why.
NOS did that to me too. Just wait....it will load into the setup wizard. I think being s-on, which I still am...twrp isn't able to back up and restore your roms boot.img. just a guess but I to failed to restore a backup when an install went awry. Makes sense to be being that you can't install a kernel from recovery either.

I looked at the install instructions for nos, if you are s-on you need to do one extra step. You have to extract the rom into a folder somewhere to get the image file, copy the image file from it. Flash that image file using adb on your pc and THEN install the rom from your phone with goomanager. Without the image file loaded, I don't think it would work. If you are s-off this step is not needed.

I believe it will, if it had the image from the get go. I believe that the back up has everything it needs. At least my back ups have never needed an image file. I decided I should try NOS myself and must say it would not go for me (S-off) it kept rebooting into recovery. I was going to try and also flash the boot image but have not done so yet.

Its the kernel in NOS. Flash NOS and then flash cpalmers kernel. Then reboot and do the setup and if you want to change to the zarboz kernel you need to delete system/bin/thermald or rename it to thermald_old.bak

Hmmm well I did everything via my cell (been the way I've been flashing ROMS unless something goes wrong then I use ADB on computer) and everything when properly done works fine using Flash GUI APP love that app! I've flashed super charged hatka 320 (used that for a couple weeks) then switched over to viper...both using Flash GUI I tried using NOS but yes no dice loaded up but when I pull the unlock ring for whatever reason the splash screen comes up and it won't budge from there....and as for my original question haha TWRP did not work for me when restoring it tripped out like if it was missing the boot image (done that before so I'm familiar with that behavior haha)
Oh and I'm still S-on

[S-Off] Recovery Flashable Recovery Installer

Flash any Recovery .img File From Recovery
Snuzzo has asked me to post this recovery flashing tool. It will let you insert any recovery that you use (must me the .img file) into the zip with 7 zip and then have a flashable recovery installer.
This eliminates the need to fastboot flash recovery and makes changing back and fourth between them really easy.
THIS IS DEVICE SPECIFIC, ONLY USE ON DNA
NOTE: Make sure to name the file recovery.img
Instructions:
1.) Place the recovery.img of your choice into the folder named "recovery" (Hint: It Says "put.recovery.img.here" in the folder where it goes)
2.) Place the zip onto your sdcard
3.) Boot to recovery and flash the zip file
4.) Device will reboot, reboot manually if using TWRP and auto reboot doesn't work
This is snuzzos work not my own, I'm only posting it for him.
Download Link: http://d-h.st/Nml
Disclaimer: If you break, shatter, or brick your phone using this installer, we take NO responsibility. If you have random reboots, your phone sparks or smokes, or your wife divorces you, those are matters we refuse to be liable for, take up with Dr. Phil.

Nice work, but man I hate to see scripts written with dd of= hardcoded to an emmc partition. And to top it off there no assert to check device model.
So...if someone runs this on the wrong device...it will permabrick them.

Thanks for this guys - I have included both of the latest recoveries already in the zips for the lazy people

MD5: 352b654194cc2b442f7b9f995e99ea90
Flashed and when in recorery it still indicates 2.4.4 at the top of the screen, should it be 2.5.0?
Hello, anybody home?
Yeah I need to make a zip with the update zarboz did that changes the version number. I'll do it shortly.

How to install Clockworkmod on moonshine'd DNA?

I've heard success stories about rom manager working with twrp, so I'm sure it'd work fine with cwm as well.

I just installed CWM Touch via Rom Manager, worked fine.
if you download a recovery.img file you can boot into fastboot "FASTBOOT USB" then do a "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it will flash the recovery that you downloaded or use CWM or GOOmanager to have it auto install them
download goomanager go to settings and click install openrecovery script. This install TWRP which is much better and easier to use than CWM
Having a hard time...
Hey guys. I did the moonshine bit successfully, installed ROM Manager, and TWRP recovery. I have a couple of ROMs saved to my phone, and am ready to test drive one.
I follow the steps to get to fastboot, and select recovery, then power button to enter.
After a few seconds, I get the "triage" screen - black background, red triangle with BANG in it, over a phone graphic.
Now what?

You can use ROM manager for cwm and goo for twrp as long as you're rooted and unlocked, may or may not need s-off for recovery flashing, I don't think so.

Hey guys. I did the moonshine bit successfully, installed ROM Manager, and TWRP recovery. I have a couple of ROMs saved to my phone, and am ready to test drive one.
I follow the steps to get to fastboot, and select recovery, then power button to enter.
After a few seconds, I get the "triage" screen - black background, red triangle with BANG in it, over a phone graphic.
Now what?

So since you have done moonshine, can you confirm that it doesn't clear the data?

Well, the image files I had saved in my download folder remained. I have experimented with a few ROMs since then, so the other folders I noticed empty (DCIM, ringtones, etc) may be due to the new ROMs.

Also if you shift between 4.1 (sense) and 4.2 they are made in differing areas, so it may look blank in 4.2 because its in a different location and it has nothing in it yet, previous contents are in the old location /data/media.

Looking in my /data folder using Astro, I see nada.

/data/media not just data.

Didn't say it was empty, while Nada means nothing I took it to mean you didn't see those folders in /data, which you wouldn't anyways. I'll stop helping now

Don't take what I wrote personally. I was asked if the moonshine process removed data, and I was reporting what I experienced.
Everyone's help is valuable here. Don't leave because someone - intentionally or otherwise - hurt your feelings.

Not leaving, just not helping, didn't hurt my feelings, just made it seem like you didn't want my help, and I can spend the posting time updating ROMs or something.

(REQ) HTC ONE MAX Verizon full stock NAND backup

I'm having problem with data connection on my HTC One Max Verizon. I'm trying to investigate further for this problem. One big mistake i made was not backing up the origin ( stock ) ROM since day 1 when I 1st purchased this phone but came to the point of running rumrunner and flash custom ROM straight away ( I'm pretty much very confident with android, but still STUPID ).
I'm requesting a full NAND backup with all of the partitions ( of course no IMEI or personal data partition ) so that I can try to restore the Verizon stock Pre-programmed settings into my phone for further investigation.
Please help me! Thank you so much!

This will fit hand in hand with your other thread. I will give you one better and what you really need. The ruu for this phone. I will pm you it shortly. When you download the file simply place it on your physical sd card and go back to boot loader. Let the process run twice

Well let me know what happens through boodloader. You have to reboot it after the first part and let it go a second time to get all.

Copy the file exactly as I sent it to you to your physical sd card. Place it in the phone. Boot to boot loader. The place where you posted a picture of it failing to find an image will now find one. You will be asked to update. You use the power button to hit enter.

Sd. Phone storage will be wiped by ruu so it won't allow ruu to be run from there.
