Upgrade to ARHD 21.0 fails on Verizon HTC M8 S-OFF, stock recovery w/ 4.4.2 stock rom 1.55.605.2.

[jeff00000]

I have a Verizon HTC M8 that is S-OFF'd with SunShine. It's currently running 4.4.2 stock ROM with the stock recovery. It's running software version 1.55.605.2.

I downloaded my first custom ROM - Android Revolutions HD 21.0 in the XDA forums (it's a ZIP file) to the external MicroSD card and launched Philz recovery directly using the "fastboot boot recovery.img" command, so I did not flash a custom recovery, but I started it.

Once I was in Philz recovery, I installed the ZIP file and had the /data partition wiped as recommended. The ROM was installed, but terminated with an error "set_perm: some changes failed". Upon rebooting the phone, it hung after playing a startup sound.

Here are the contents of the log install file:

Notice the error messages:

Does anyone know what I need to do to get this to work? Does this have anything to do with having to have the correct firmware version?

I think you need to have a custom recovery to use a custom rom

Thanks. I booted a custom recovery (I did not flash it) with fastboot (fastboot boot recovery.img), and then I installed the custom ROM.
