I also have the HTC one , rooted, unlocked, and S-Off. Then converted to the GPE . My understanding is when the Dev's build a rom such as the Viper, they use the rom as it comes from the source. Then they add their own tweaks, mods, etc. to the rom. Viper is an excellent rom, I have used it on the HTC One X , but never got around to flashing it on the HTC One (yet). If I were you, I would (since you have rooted, unlocked the bootloader and whatever else you have done) continue and do the S-Off thing too. Then flash TWRP with the latest version and SuperSU. Then you will be able to flash most any rom you wish and have fun. The Hansoon All in One Toolkit, is very good for unlocking, flashing recoveries and perm root with SuperSu. IN my opinion TWRP is a better recovery than CWM although both will work but many Dev's suggest TWRP to flash their roms. After doing all to the HTC One, such as unlocking bootloader, rooting ,S-Off, and TWRP. you can swap as many customs as you wish to find the one you like. My favorite is the Elegancia for looks , feel, and battery life. If you so choose to get really fancy do a full conversion to the GPE , which I am on now with 4.4.3 Kit Kat. If you do that , you can still flash other roms, or I have been able to any way.

Thanks for the explanation, however I'm still not sure what S-OFF is used for. As far as i can tell, it has something to do with a security mechanism in the device and if turned off allows the upgrade of radios and therefore allowing the installation of the google play edition rom? Does it allow for anything else?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leesumm:
I am not as technical as the dev's are here but I will give my opinion of S-Off. The process of S-0ff allows flashing roms from just about any source (as long as they are for the carrier and brand of your phone) . S-Off eliminates some of the security partitions in the phone itself allowing to flash such roms. I do know that with S-Off many roms that can be flashed do not need the boot.img flashed after the rom as with the S-On. Myself I am flash junkie and do just about everything possible to my phones that can be done safely after reading and searching all there is to find about any one particular feature like rooting, S-Off etc. Without a little further reading , I am pretty sure you can RUU to about any system without relocking , unlocking etc the bootloader. I know this isn't a good explanation. Maybe one of the more experienced members can add a little more. Or post it right as to what it does. All I can say it frees up the phone more than just unlocking, rooting,etc.

Merry Christmas folks!

I thought I'll help spread the xmas cheer around, so promised a friend I'll fix his One for him.

Long story: He bought it from an acquaintance, and turns out he had camera issues. He tried fixing it, only to find that there is already root and a recovery (TWRP) on his phone. He gave it to a "friend" to fix it, but now the phone is stuck on the htc splash screen.

----

So, I promised I'll return the phone to stock so that he can have his warranty back and maybe get a replacement for the camera issue. I am planning to follow this guide to revert. But during my initial checking, my laptop (Win7) does not recognize the One, neither on splashscreen, nor on hboot, nor on fastboot. But it does recognize it on TWRP :confused: [and my Desire S is also recognized on all modes]

Any ideas on how to proceed? I did turn off my Anti-virus, downloaded and installed the drivers from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217396

You've already done your homework and I see no error in your methods. Do you have the latest firmware? If so, It's time to call support and exchange your phone, because unlocking the bootloader IS something that the device is supposed to do. Yours is defective. They may tell you to wait for a software update that fixes the issue, and in that case you can wait or escalate or push them to exchange it. Personally, I would ask for the e-mail address of an engineer or QA developer that's looking into the issue, and I would insist on an exchange when they would not give me this information. If you are in a country without strong warranty laws, you may need to wait for the next firmware update or just sell the damn thing to someone that doesn't care about rooting.

Weird. Easiest thing is to try another computer. Another poster said 64-bit OSs don't recognize this phone very well. Is yours 64-bit?

Google's ironic answer

So, I've tried both unlocking methods on 3 different computers, with the same, ineffective result. I called up Google tech support and explained the problem. After a lot of explaining, and the tech rep talking to several other tech people, her response to me was:

"Google doesn't endorse or support unlocking bootloaders, loading custom ROMs, rooting, etc."

I was a bit peeved, and said, "This is the reason I bought this phone so that I could do these things. It's supported by the manufacturer."

They said that they couldn't help and were sorry. So, in desperation, I asked, "Do you have any other suggestions or places you'd suggest I try."

The rep's response (I kid you not) was, "Well, uh, you could try Googling it."

That's right. Google tech support just told me to Google the problem and see what I could find. I was a bit displeased.

On the upside, I called HTC support, and explained the problem, and the guy immediately understood what I was saying. He asked me about ADB and fastboot and said, "Wow. You're doing everything right. It sounds like ADB and fastboot are sending the commands, but the phone isn't receiving them. I need to escalate. Let me get your info."

So, that's where it stands. I'll see what happens.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
If I were you, I would root and flash a ROM. That way you can update it when you want. But don't take this as advice unless it's what you want to do anyway. It does carry some risk.

Try "international" ROMs for the unlocked phone and AT&T ROMs for the AT&T phone. I don't know whether its hardware is different than the other, but ROMs are meant to be used on many different carriers--they are configured for the phone's hardware, not one specific carrier. And why did you PM me about this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leesumm:
delete post disregard
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
I'll assume you meant "pls need your help". :)

If your phone is S-Off, you can install a custom recovery the same way you would with an unlocked bootloader--you can follow any instructions exactly, with no need for htcdev.com stuff. And here are the risks:

- You'll flash something really bad, and your phone will be unrecoverable (very unlikely)

- You'll accidentally wipe your phone while flashing stuff (just be careful)

- You'll flash a buggy ROM that doesn't boot, and flashing the next ROM will be harder because you'll need to get the ROM onto your sdcard without booting Android

- You'll flash a ROM and something small doesn't work--for example, I installed ARHD 40.1 and adding my home address in Google Now doesn't work.

- You'll flash a ROM and something big doesn't work--this most often happens in AOSP ROMs (these are built from source code, not based on a ROM provided by the carrier or HTC).

The advantages are:

- Upgrade any time you want

- Back up the phone's OS and data any time you want (your installed apps, call log, everything)

- You'll always be rooted, so you can do a lot more things

The things I've done with root and just two mods are:

- holding the "back" button turns off my screen.

- volume keys turn the backlight on, in addition to changing the volume

- the "recent apps" menu is AOSP style, not HTC style (it's like this.)

There are a lot more things you can do, but I don't need most of that functionality.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Does the phone always turn the screen on? I wouldn't totally rule out a bad power button, because on my last phone it also appeared to work in certain situations (before it went completely bad). If it's a software issue, the easiest potential fix is to factory reset. A harder solution is to check the logs (logcat) when you press the button, and to check which apps have permission to keep the screen on. However, my gut feeling (as a non-Android software dev) is that no app could possibly have permission to override the power button, so it's an OS bug or a hardware problem.

"Video Problem - Can't play this video" HTC 1

hi,

I stream some tv episodes from a site that uses a mix of MP4 and avi files. The sites generally link through to file hosting sites such as NovaMov etc.

Usually I stream an episode using MX Player on my HTC One.

Recently, within the last couple of weeks, I've not been able to stream files from any of these sites. I'm getting the message

"Video Problem - Can't play this video"

I am able to do it from a laptop using Windows.

I've tried to stream via uninstalling MXPlayer and using other types of players but without success.

The issue is present on both Android operated devices I own - Samsung Tab 2 10.1 and the HTC One.

Has there been any known issues. The fact that the same message is now appearing on my tablet and my phone suggests that it's an Android issue instead of the player.

Any help at all would be really great.

thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
You could install a ROM that's a bit more "stocky" than viper, like ARHD (and don't install the mods if you don't want them). You could also install a stock ROM, then use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall system apps you don't use. For example, Kid Mode is an app; I think you can just uninstall it.

I recommend a google search like this. Then I recommend checking for sticky threads in the "htc one Q&A" and "htc one Android Development" forum sections. There should be guides that explain how to unroot, but I don't have a link handy.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
It's now the same whether you charge via a wall charger or USB? If you want to return the phone to its original condition, do the following:

- get S-Off

- install the original ROM

- install the original bootloader

- lock the bootloader

- remove the "tampered" and "relocked" messages from the bootloader

- do not get S-On, because you may never be able to get S-Off again

Note that I'm not exactly sure about the order. You'll need to find better instructions. I think that once you have S-Off, you don't need an unlocked bootloader, but if I were you, I would not re-lock and re-S-On because some people are unable to root after they do that.

But you may not need to do any of this. I would try something more basic first--install a more stock-ish ROM (either original stock or ARHD with no mods). Then factory reset and clear battery stats. If the problem persists, you may have a legal right to a repair, regardless of whether you unlocked. Your phone, after all, is unfit for its intended purpose.

I guess this is a nothing tried nothing gained attempt to sort out something that is a problem for me.

I bought an unlocked HTC One Max from a retailer that I thought was in the UK, but turned out they are in Hong Kong. I see they have a post or an ad elsewhere on this site claiming UK stock. I got the phone just in time to give it to my wife as a Christmas present. She wanted a bigger screen and to be able to download from BBC iPlayer and it seemed a perfect replacement for her HTC One-X.

It turns out that the phone is supposed to have been sold in Malaysia, and it does not allow the desired downloading from iPlayer. So I wrote to HTC. HTC say that the motherboard is Localized to Malaysia but go on to say that rooting might solve the problem, although it would invalidate the warranty.

I am sorry but it does not make much sense to me - how would rooting the phone change the hardware on the motherboard?

Could someone out there explain to me how I might change the "localization" and it seems to me it has to be a software issue.

Ideally, I would like it to continue as a UK phone not necessarily rooted as I would like to be able to get OTA updates and I really want it to be able to use the full BBC iPlayer app including the downloading of programs to watch later - but how?

I would really appreciate the help

Many thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
First of all, I don't fully understand this. But the hardware is probably identical, except for some ID that's burned into it and registered as a malaysia ID. But why can't you download iPlayer? What mechanism is preventing it? And if you're in the EU, I'd bet rooting will not void your warranty for a problem that's not caused by rooting.

The normal country restriction method is threefold: your google account must have an address in the desired country, you must have a SIM card from the desired country (if you have a SIM), and you must have an IP address in the desired country. If you actually live in the right country, these requirements should be met automatically. What exactly is preventing you from installing iPlayer?

Edit: Is the problem that you can download iPlayer but cannot use it? Sorry, I may have misread part of your post... If so, the iPlayer app must be trying to guess where your phone is from in some non-orthodox way, like by checking the model number or reading variables from /system/build.prop. It definitely cannot read your motherboard's serial number. This is why using a custom ROM would overwrite all sorts of malaysian system data with more generic data. (A custom ROM would probably be based on a "World-wide English" build.)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vrc8883:
according mstoniE

Thanks Fenstra, for your reply. It seems that HTC and therefore I assume everything else knows that the phone was supposed to be used in Malaysia by its IMEI. BBC iPlayer has content restrictions and if you pass whatever tests you may download programs to view (for 30 days) provided you pass the tests. The tests appear to be location based and so if you have logged on in the UK you get to download and view material - if you log on elswhere, you cant and the excuse is copyright. The same applies to computers. However, the latest version of the BBC iPlayer allows downloading. But it seems to be limited in some way to the phone's locaization - whatever that is. It makes no sense that there would be a variation of the standard motherboard for each global market and so I am assuming it to be more a software issue. But HTC will not reflash the handset with anything other that the original software which seems to say "I am Malaysian" Therefore, I need to figure out how to convince the BBC that the handset is saying "I am English and I am in the UK" But I also do not want to preclude OTA updates
