Hi, very new here having found the excellent Mini SDK thread - thanks!
I bought an M8 from the US. It (had) AT&T software on it and it wouldn't work properly, so I'm blasting it with KitKat.
I'm following this install guide: http://www.ibtimes.co.in/how-instal...t-cm11-m11-custom-rom-htc-one-m8-guide-611772
but I'm getting nowhere. Using this list...
Step-by-step installation procedure of CyanogenMod Android 4.4.4 KitKat CM11 M10 Custom ROM on HTC One M8:
Step 1: Download CyanogenMod Android 4.4.4 KitKat CM11 M11 custom ROM, HERE (and extract boot.img from the zip file separately) and Google Apps (HERE) in to your PC.
Step 2: Connect HTC One M8 to PC via USB cord.
[Note: Before plugging the phone to the computer, be sure that you have installed USB driver software, if not, click HERE to download the firmware]
Step 3: Then, place Android 4.4.4 KitKat zip file and Google Apps file into the phone's SD card memory. [Note: Users are advised to paste the .zip file in SD card root, not in any other folder.]
[Note: Before installing the custom software, be sure that the device must have been rooted and has installed ClockworkMod Recovery tool.]
Step 4: Later, place boot.img file in the android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory
Step 5: Now, turn off the device and disconnect from the PC.
Step 6: Then perform the regular Bootloader mode sortie, by press holding 'Volume (down)', and 'Power' buttons.
Step 7: After entering the Bootloader mode (on the phone), go to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools (on the PC) and open Command prompt and type in: 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' and press enter.
(To enter Command prompt: Shift + right-click >> open command Prompt)
Step 8: then, type: 'fastboot reboot' and follow instructions displayed on the screen. Select BOOTLOADER option to enter Recovery Mode
Step 9: Once entering the Recovery mode, clear the phone memory, by choosing 'wipe data/factory reset'
[Note: use Volume keys to navigate and power button to select options, while operating under Recovery Mode]
Step 10: Now, clear the cache memory by selecting 'wipe cache partition'.
Step 11: Then to go back to ClockworkMod recovery, and select 'advanced' and tap 'wipe dalvik cache' [Note: This step is optional, but many recommend this procedure so that user will not face boot loops or any other errors in the middle of custom ROM installation]
Step 12: Again come back to main recovery screen and then tap 'install zip from SD card'
Step 13: Then tap 'choose zip from sdcard' and go to Android 4.4.4 ROM .zip file in SD card and enter the installation process. Repeat the procedure for installing Google Apps [Note: use 'Volume' keys to navigate and 'Power' button to select options]
Step 14: Once done with the installation process, navigate to '+++++Go Back+++++' and re-start the device by opting 'reboot system now' seen in the recovery menu.
Now, your device (HTC One M8) will take a few minutes to complete the booting process.
Users now head to Settings >> select About phone to confirm the installation of CyanogenMod Android 4.4.4 KitKat CM11 M11 custom ROM.
I'm getting to Step 6 and just going around in a loop. I can't get the phone to do anything except go back to the HBOOT menu, and that's only by pressing the power and vol down buttons. If I don't press the buttons, nothing happens. Obviously, I'm reconnecting the phone to the PC.
Please help!
