So I've looked around the internet, watching videos and reading these threads, and I've basically never found a single piece of ... words that tells me step-by-step everything that I need to flash a custom rom. Here's what I mean.
I constantly run into problem after problem trying to run a rom e.g. Cyanogen, LiquidSmooth, Paranoid, etc and everytime I do encounter a problem, it's because the videos and threads I see don't mention it. Then I research and find something else that has something else not included in it, and I go research for that and etc etc the cycle continues.
I never knew that for most of the things you do with rooting you need S-off, which is a PITA to obtain unless you have .
I wish I knew I needed S-off to modify the radio so that my SIM card works on my roms. I wish I knew I needed S-off to customize a lot of things. And how exactly do you update your RUU or Radio or whatever? I always find scattered stuff about it.
Even now, I know I'm missing something in the "prerequisites" of flashing a custom rom. It doesn't make sense since the other demonstrations I see have perfectly working phones with functional mobile data.
I have a rooted AT&T HTC One M8, currently on 4.4.4 KitKat. The only thing I could think of that I sort of screwed up at first with it is using something called "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" and inputting "adb shell" and some other stuff after attempting to edit the name of HTCLockscreen.apk to the same except with .bak attached to it. This obviously failed because I wasn't able to edit the name, but I still input the commands.
Hopefully, I get some help because I really need it. :confused::confused:
