Re: HTC One may have major manufacturing issues, delays

I've ordered a black from T-Mobile. So they deffo do black as well.
[One (M7) General] katamari201:
Lol you actually think Zoe and Blinkfeed are innovations? One's a news widget. There's a million of those on the play store. You can even get Flipboard, which is where they ripped off the idea. Zoe is what, Vine and Intagram? There are a million camera apps in the store as well. Nothing unique or requires much effort at all. Something innovative AND useful would be Smart Stay, which HTC has none. The boomsound is really marketing to feed the HTC sheep. You really think the speakers are actually the size you see in the front? They are louder for sure, but do we need louder cell phones at this point? The quality is still tinny crap. Nothing like the good ol' NOkia candybar phone days.

HTC is still a multibillion dollar company. ALL they make are cellphones, and the 2013 lineup is their smallest yet. Samsung makes a million other things from TVs to washing machines to computers. Their handset division probably uses the same amount HTC is using in R&D, but its split between dozens more handsets, including the Galaxy Note with its whole suite of stylus and productivity apps, which HTC hasn't even set foot in. HTC doesn't even have "real" budget phones.

HTC is starting to become a joke at this point. I can't believe the company was even considered the forerunner in Android phones a few years ago. I guess they had no competition. They have gone from having the biggest screens to the smallest, from the worst cameras to...still the worst cameras, from the earliest android updaters to the slowest with locked bootloaders, etc.

I've looked at their website and spoken to them no black version.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Amazon UK have just pulled the silver version completely from their website. It doesn't even say "temporarily unavailable", just shows it being sold by an Amazon seller for a stupid price instead. I suspect they just found out they won't be getting their expected allocation and are having to figure out the effect of this on their current pre-orders.

Yep somethings up there.. unless they've sold out of their stock? - Hoping Handtec have no problems now.
[One (M7) General] randombirt:
Re: HTC One may have major manufacturing issues, delays

The black is showing still available so i would assume everything is ok as surely they'd pull both? I dunno but trying to remain positive in light of the negativity.
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
I'm on live chat with a CS rep, I'll let you know what the issue is.

EDIT:

Jason:As far as I can see your order is A-Ok and we plan on shipping it on the 14th.

Me:I really need it, my current phone ends on ebay this friday, do you know why the silver One has been pulled from the website and the black hasn't?

Jason:I wouldn't be able to answer that question specifically but I do know we would remove a product once we had filled our allocation of pre orders.

We wouldn't want to take more orders that we could fulfil.

Me:Ah okay, so if there was to be a problem with my allocation would I have heard by now? or is there a chance we could find some bad news by the end of today??

sorry for all the questions!

Jason:It's alright Luke. I believe the stock for this item is still arriving from the supplier if there is any issue we will let you know as soon as we do.
[One (M7) General] Hcore:

[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:

[One (M7) General] :
The White is no longer available via amazon. The price you see is a third party dealer.
[One (M7) General] Hekatonpsychos:
Maybe trolls, BTW, I have a question regarding Expansys preorders. Does the order confirmation always take so long in that store? I've preordered my phone on Friday morning and still received no confirmation.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
I love the way people start thinking conspiracy theories :) I am glad you saw the same thing this morning!

I didn't keep the screenshot but I spoke to Amazon myself who said they were validating stock availability but that my order should be fine.

If you search for it, it still shows the silver one only being available at a stupid price from a 3rd party seller

HTC One 32GB UK SIM Free Smartphone - Silver by HTC (Electronics -15 Mar 2013)

£674.99 new (1 offer)

But if I go to it from my order, it shows its available again!! Looks like it was just a temporary freeze while they confirmed with HTC or adjusted the stock limits
[One (M7) General] Hekatonpsychos:
I cannot agree - I see the offer on Amazon UK site. Amazon co uk is marked as a seller - the device price is still £519.95.
[One (M7) General] :
I see what Amazon have done, they took it down to change the deal offer. Its back now but you no longer get the pre-order HTC Media Link with it anymore.
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Read the post above.

It was temporarily removed from the site.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

[One (M7) General] :
It wasnt for me :/ Think Amazon aint a clue what there doing in regards to the website lol
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
$535 USD.

IF they truly have the exact same hardware shouldn't all the development be the same, APN aside? I will probably go with the AT&T Variant just so that I can pick it up release day in store for much less than the INT version US prices.

HTC One may have major manufacturing issues, delays

Received an email this morning from the Dutch webshop Coolblue. They stated that the HTC One is delayed until the beginning of April. They also stated, that HTC didn't tell them why the One is delayed.

I hope they don't lose a lot of customers as I believe they made a great phone.

Well I'am not worried about the build quality of the One. But HTC gave the customer a reason to reconsider as Samsung will reveal the S4 this week.

Re: HTC One may have major manufacturing issues, delays

I brought it back to the sprint store near where I work, and they gave me a new one. Never had an issue with that.
[One (M7) General] BoneXDA:
Trolling your own forum I see.

Sounds promising. I guess those in the US and Europe who pre-ordered it early will get their One from the first batch. The troubles will come upon the masses storming the stores.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
yes i think i can troll 1% the amount of trolling we get

also customers are receiving their units, review embargo was lifted early

so don't blame me if i think this thread is over blowing this shortage thing

every device in the world can face a delay, big deal, if you want it you wait for it

finally HTC confirmed the delay is only in select markets and no their main markets, so what's there to discuss?
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Naturally people are excited about getting their new phone (I know I am!). But the reports about select vs main markets is not the whole truth. In the UK two large vendors (Carphone Warehouse, and network O2) have both delayed until the 29th of March. Other UK suppliers are still quoting 15th for now, but naturally it has made people fear the worst about a possible blanket UK delay.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
this is very puzzling actually, UK is usually HTC's most important market

but i think after biting the dust in USA last year due to Apple ban, priorities have changed

MobilePhoneDirect - Delay

Just spoken to "customer services" at MobilePhoneDirect, was expecting delivery on Friday, reading above thought I had better check. The result - 29th March (Good Friday so no deliveries until after Easter Monday).

The reason I was given:

"Only about 20% of the initial batch has come through. HTC are having quality issues with the paintwork".

I am thinking he just made that up to get rid of me, especially as the phones are not painted, but anodised!

Sad thing is I could (un)happily wait an extra 2 weeks, but I am away on holiday from 28th and Parcel Force are not great at hiding parcels!

Whether the One succeeds or not all depends on how many people feel the way you do. And the masses off XDA are who determine a devices success or failure because there aren't enough XDA'rs or loyalists left for HTC to meet the sales number they themselves are projecting.

Hello All

I've tried searching and can find no reference to the icon shown here on the status bar, on the left of the right side group of icons, next to the Mute icon. It looks like two hands holding a rectangle.

I'm new to the Android platform and can find no reference to it on either the phones or the operators documentation. It's there all the time, and cant be selected. It does grey out when I attach a USB lead.

The phone is running ICS 4.04 on the O2 Ireland network.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Mike

Its the Extended Standby Mode status icon. It pops up when you enable the mode but is greyed out whenever the phone is on charge.

HI all,

I am sorry if this question may have been asked before but I have followed the instruction on [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

but I still can not get the S-OFF.

I use the toolkit : [ROOT] HTC One X AT&T 2.20 Firmware - X-Factor root exploit

I believe my phone is rooted but I can not get the S-OFF. in the bootloader it said "Temppered" unlocked but the S-on

Can I please get some direction on what I did wrong?

Cheers

I want to flash either the telstra stock or the Clean rom I beleieve. I am not sure which one to try but I want the one with the closest to the stock but the optimised version of the stock.

Thanks

Arda
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
"Tampered' means you are rooted. That is a good thing.

What step of the S-off process are you stuck on? Any error messages?

Did you confirm you have SuperCID?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ardabelati:
Cheers for the reply.

The steps which failed was when I had to confirm the restore. This is on the process getting the superCID.

I accepted the restore but on the screen on the phone the restore said "restore starting" and then few seconds later it said "restore end" as if restore does not get completed.

Cheer
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Do you actually have an AT&T version of the One X, or another carrier?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ardabelati:
I have got the hongkong HTC ONE X LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Ha, I called that one! The use of "cheers" had me thinking you were not an American. Its the dual core version of the One X/XL right?

X-factor only works for the AT&T version. X-factor is failing to change the CID because (I think) its looking for the AT&T CID (CWS_001) and not finding it.

I think you have to change the CID the "manual" way: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671396

Instead of CWS_001, of course you will be looking for your carrier's ID (whatever that is).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ardabelati:
Yes I am in from the land of down under :)

So do I just follow exactly what that guide is?

Do I need to have the S-OFF to be able to successfully flash firmware?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ardabelati:
okay now I have followed the tutorial above and when I check my CID is now 1111111 because I changed it in the hex edittor and pushed it again back.

when I reboot it still came up with the S-ON

I am not sure if this is done for me? :(

any suggestions is much appreciated

thanks

OK, so now your supercid go through the s-off process again....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ardabelati:
THANK YOU!!! :)

got the S-OFF displayed now and CID 11111111

so if I want to flash firmware (closest to stock), which tutorial should I follow?

any recommendation for :

1. ICS version which is very stable?

2. JB which is very stable?

I am using my phoen for internet browsing, skype, WhatsUp and also emailing most of the time.

Any recommendation is greatly appreciated

Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
At this point pretty much every Rom is stable. I don't think there are any ics roms in active development anymore. If you like close to stock go look at the roms in the android development section. They are mostly all sense based and each brings its own tweaks to the table

Sent from my VENOMized HoxL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr1960:
Don't muck around with firmware... HBoot versions etc. don't matter much once you have s-off.

If you like sense roms, Cleanrom is great (very close to stock) or ViperXL (much more customisable). You'll find both these in the Android Development thread. For a more native Android experience I'm loving Liquid Smooth, available in Android Original Development.

Good luck!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
It took a small group effort, but we cracked it.

Problem 1: Bug in limitation to %UREG command

First of all, on 4.20 they check to see whether the %UREG request lies within certain bounds as follows:

AT%UREG?addr,len:

if (addr < 0x3ef000 || addr > 0x3ef007) return(0);

if ((addr+len) < 0x3ef000 || (addr+len) > 0x3ef007) return(0);

Now because addr en len are both 32 bits, we can make use of the wrap (negative in effect). After the test above the maximum length will be limited to 100 (0x64).

So for instance:

AT%UREG?3FE004,FFFFFFFF

will read 100 bytes from 0x3FE004, clearly outside the range UREG was meant to be restricted to.

Problem 2: Obfuscation too easy

When executing the command above: after 74 bytes of FF, the obfuscated result code is displayed. The information needed to get the unlock code is contained twice, in the format ABCDABCDEFGHEFGH if a different letter is assigned to each unique nibble. Nibbles are first swapped to make EHAFGBCD. Then bits 3 of nibbles H, F and B are rotated left, so that nibble H gets bit 3 from F and so forth. After this, the whole 4 byte value is rotated into the lower bit. The result is the 8 digit unlock code in BCD, which can be supplied to the unlock command:

AT%SIDLCK=0,<8-digit unlock code>

Commentary:

Nice try: took us 2 person-days, probably still less than it took to think up, define, approve and program. :twisted:

The new version of The Manipulator, online now, supports unlocking of Radio Stack 4.20.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] vljw:
Yippee... the manipulator works for 4.20 !!!!!

Hi,

I must be a very lucky guy.

Just received my xda today (64mb ram, 4.20.00 radio version, 3.16.32 ENG rom, dated 2/13/03) and was fiddling with it about half and hour ago with the former xda manipulator program (ver 1.02) which recorded error messages and couldn't work. Then I looked into the net and found this posting just made( at 10.30 pm) and was the number 6 person to view the posting; downloaded the new manipulator and hey presto - the xda is unlocked !!!!

Only one thing though- don't see the gid lock, the imei number and the call timer entries in this new program(ver 1.1) which were present in the ver 1.02 program. Not a problem for me though as long as I could use the phone on my vodaphone sim.

Anyway, thank you so much for the hard work in cracking the 4.20; really appreciate it. Well done and keep up the magnificent work.

Cheers :D :D :D :D :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] RogerB:

Just tried 1.1 on 6 phones, all with 4.20. Five of them unlocked no problem, but one of them, for some strange reason, didnt work, it read the sid code, but the one that it came back with was only 6 digits long, and when pressinng "UNLOCK" nothing more happened. All the other codes were about 8 digits long. I tried entering the code manually, butjust came back saying it wss incorrect!!!

Anyone come across this??

Many thanks in advance
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Hmmm. It could be that the code (or the second half of it) starts with two zeroes, and now that you mention it: the manipulator doesn't display (or unock with) leading zeroes.

Could you try that six digit code with two leading zeroes, and (if that doesn't work) inser the zeroes in the six digit number as follows XXXX00XX or as follows 0XXX0XXX. Tell me if that's it, please...

(Expect 1.11 of The Manipulator in the next day or two... :)

IMEI Change

Great work guys i'll be unlocking my xda as soon as i get the serial cable. It is a combines serial and USB cable so if anyone has experience with this not working (Ordered from Expansys thenlet me know) otherwise i'll post here to let you know if it worked or not.

I would like to know if there are any plans to make a version of the communicator that ill change the imei.

If not will commands from hyperterminal work? (Sorry if this is not currently possible I havn't been motivated to look it all up but will be if it possible to change the IMEI through this.)

I know that ther version of Hyperterminal that come with in 2k and XP is more limited that the one in 95 and 98 so would another terminal emulation program do the job better (Reflections 420 for example).

Thanks again for the great work.

How do you find all this stuff out?? How do I learn.?

@Peter Poelman ur a blinking genius mate, it was the last method (0XXX0XXX)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Re: IMEI Change

Manipulator (I assume that's what you mean) does change the IMEI, but not on 4.20 phones, because we can't easily reach the memory range. In fact we have ways to do it, but we didn't yet feel like doing the necessary programming work before they lock us out completely.

There's no easy (or medium-hard) way to change the IMEI on 4.20 phones.

In this specific case, we looked at the ARM machine-code in the 4.20 binary contained in S-record form in the RSU upgrade package, using IDA (a disassembler program). We then figured out the %UREG restriction was lacking. Looking at the obfuscated code we figured we could break it without looking at further code (and the phone binary code guru was unavailable for the day), so we cracked it by just staring at enough possibilities. (We could set and reset the lock using different codes with AT%SIDLCK).

Not sure hacking phones is a specific skill one can learn. Even though we're mostly still pretty young, most of us are very experienced software developers, senior security experts. Electronics, programming and reverse-engineering experience of 20-25 years in some cases. But there's pretty good texts out there that describe disassembling other people's code, understanding embedded hardware and other areas of expertise you'd need.

Reverse-engineering needs a lot of the same skills that 'forward-engineering' does. If you have the skills needed to build something, you can begin to take it apart.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Current issues with The Manipulator

The Manipulator currently does not unlock phones which were locked and then user-upgraded to 4.20. So unlock first and then upgrade. Also, please read hotentot's post and my reply above for a problem that appears when the code has zeroes in certain positions.

Both issues will be addressed in the next version, due in a few days, when I know there's no other things that need fixin'.
