On the camera side you can try cleaning the 6 bit sensor panel. For your
lenses it would depend on the quality and method  of the 6 bit coding that
you have applied (for the non-factory coded Leica lenses). For the M8, in
addition to having a valid and readable 6 BIT code you also need frame-line
agreement to satisify the logic. That is to say, in most instances, the
camera expects a matching frame line set (50+75 for a 50 code etc).


Cheers
