I just looked in the file /system/build.prop and it says some stuff about being a US phone. That's one candidate for change (if you root). But it's easier to install custom ROMs than to just **** with the system until you change the right thing. Using a custom ROM and upgrading it every six months is also easier than ensuring you completely convert your phone to a UK phone so it definitely gets OTA upgrades.

Yeah, what choice do you have?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Make sure you have the appropriate drivers installed (for some versions of windows, it's tricky to get the right driver). In fastboot mode, you can connect to USB and run "fastboot devices" to make sure the connection is working. Then run "fastboot getvar all". Look for the CID in the output (it will be something like HTC__xxx). You can then search for a RUU that's made for that CID. Don't worry, it won't let you install the wrong one.

Hello guys. Recently I noticed two rogue apps on my phone, namely "small phone" and "home anywhere". I will only notice it in the play store as something I've downloaded, but I can't seem to uninstall it. I can't find the application in titanium backup nor in my root browser. Anyone has any ideas how to remove it? I tried to click uninstall but it only uninstalled the update. I can't remove it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
In play store, click the "share" icon and share it to a web browser or text editor. Look at the URL--that URL should end with the full app name. Then you can try uninstalling it with ADB ("adb uninstall <app name>"). If that doesn't work, you can use a root explorer to look for it in /data/app/<app name>.apk and /system/app/<app name>.apk. Just delete the file. Verify it's uninstalled. Reboot. Verify that it hasn't been reinstalled. If it has, let us know and we'll work from there. If you can't uninstall using these steps, let us know, because there's more we can try.

In a bit of a conundrum

I was debating on whether or not to post this as a separate thread in the Q&A section or whether this is even the right place to post. I have several questions and it maybe a bit complicated due to my situation. Anyway, here goes.

I was gifted an unlocked phone for Christmas. The packaging and phone language indicated that it was region-tailored for Portugal. I didn't think much of it since I was able to change the language to English (US), put my T-Mobile SIM card in it, and use it normally. I also did a software update that put the phone at Android 4.3 and Sense 5.0. I learned that KitKat had rolled out for unlocked phones and tried to do another update, but there was none. This is problem #1. Problem #2 is that I'm not entirely sure I'm able to use T-Mobile's LTE service. The highest service indicator I have in the status bar is H+. I'm on the basic family plan with the allotment of 500 MB of free data before throttling. I've never been able to use LTE before as my previous phone was the T-Mobile G2 (aka Desire Z; God rest that phone), so I wonder if my line was ever "LTE enabled."

Basically my question is: does fact that I'm using a Portuguese/European HTC One on T-Mobile US affect any of the updates and services my phone ought to receive? I've already sent an email to HTC USA support explaining my situation and am awaiting an answer, but I'm seeing if anyone here is in a similar situation or can enlighten me.

Side note: I want to keep the phone as stock as possible so I want to refrain from flashing things. I've already rooted it for some essential apps like Titanium Backup, but that is the extent of software manipulation I am willing to do (heresy on XDA, I know).

Thanks in advance to everyone who racks their brains in helping me figure this out.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matique:
Tried both methods, can't seem to find the apk files. It seems to me I should do a clean install and install apps one by one. The two apps do nothing really, they don't drain my battery etc. It's just irritating to have something that isn't supposed to be there.

If it is of any reference I am on Viper 4.2.0. No mods installed.

Edit: found it. It is under priv-apps. Is it supposed to be there? There is a whole bunch.

I'm not too sure about the roll out as I heard it isn't a wide scale roll out. I didn't receive mine natively, I flashed a 4.4 Rom instead.

Regarding LTE, do check with your carrier if you are LTE enabled. If not, the issue might be with your radio, though I doubt that is the case.

The solution to problem number one would be go flash a stock 4.4 rom, or a lightly modified stock Rom like ARHD.

The solution to number two, check with your carrier. If it isn't on LTE, upgrade your plan.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wcstick:
Thanks for the help. I've emailed HTC about my software situation and they say that update releases are carrier-dependent. Meaning I won't get KitKat until T-Mobile releases it. I have my doubts about the certainty of this answer, but it is what I got from HTC support. I will have to check with T-Mobile and see if my line is LTE enabled so that's next. Like I mentioned before, I want to refrain from flashing ROMs so I'll just wait a little longer before resorting to that. Regardless, I appreciate the suggestions and I'll keep them in mind when the time comes.

Monitoring Cores

Im not sure if this is a problem, normal, or if im worrying over nothing.

I have my M7 one rooted and running onedroid on the linux kernel 3.4.10-CM+

I got the donate version of trickstermod to disable the bollocks screen wake controls that just ended up in me getting frustrated. But i happened to notice that it lists my cores as offline, save for core 0 which bounces between around 384 to 1026. When im monitoring it, none of the other cores seem to run at all.

Is this because im not running any intensive processes that require them, or did something go wrong in the rooting/flashing process making the others non-functioning. Or is the root making it so trickstermod recognizes all the cores as one...

Just looking for some clarification if i should be concerned or not.

Depending what you're upgrading from, you may not need a firmware upgrade. Also, if there's an official update available for your phone, that will contain the necessary firmware.

New Noob here, asking noob things noobily.

It's getting harder to find solid answers to the simple questions just by googling, so I came here.

I'm considering an HTC one, used from eBay, mainly for use as a mini-tablet of sorts.

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader, root, and then just keep installing Google's stock android releases manually like one could do for a Nexus 4? (I'm aware the N4 would be able to get the releases and updates OTA) I'm wary of running custom ROMs and getting too hackery and would just prefer to be able to have the latest stock releases rooted rather than wait for HTC's delayed special versions or whatever this Google Play HTC ROM is.

My apologies if this question is asked a thousand times, I haven't the time at this moment to search the forums, but I intend to once I am able.

Thank you all in advance

i have an Htc one m7_u whit official update 4.3 can i unlock the hboot 1.55 whit htc dev ? to be able to root,it after?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
As with the Nexus 4, reinstalling a stock ROM will unroot you. You'll need to re-root after that. Unlike the Nexus 4, you can't keep your custom recovery when you install the stock ROM. The procedure you would do on the N4 is more complex and annoying on this phone--for instance, some or all official updates will refuse to install if you have a custom recovery.

The stock plain Android ROM is the "google play edition" ROM. The only alternatives are custom ROMs and "HTC's delayed special versions". I think that given your situation, the software that would most suit you is a custom ROM identical to the google play edition, but rooted. It would be easy to install (and can be installed with a custom recovery without losing your data or needing to unlock/relock the bootloader).

Yes.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skymutt:
Thanks very much. That sounds like something I could live with, maybe. As long as the "custom" ROM is just the stock release with minimal changes. Would each official minor update mean I had to wait for someone to modify it so it doesn't break root? Or, does it mean I have to reflash a whole new custom ROM with every little patch, or does that only happen for major versions?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
People are enthusiastic about this stuff, and it's not that hard to repackage a stock ROM with a couple binaries added. I would expect not to wait more than a day after Google releases the plain GPe ROM. (They only promised to release this, they didn't promise it would be released the same day as the Android ROM for the Nexus devices.) And making an OTA update is harder than repackaging a ROM, so you would need to re-flash a whole system every time (but no need to wipe your data, in theory). And again, I expect that you could find every minor version this way. Your choice as to when you want to upgrade.

I thought of one issue: If the ROM upgrade needs a corresponding firmware upgrade, things get harder. You'll need to jump through hoops, probably wiping your data, and either using exploits to get S-Off, or installing the stock recovery, re-locking your bootloader, and flashing stock stuff, then undoing everything you just did. It's impossible to say whether you'll need to do this, or when.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skymutt:
You are a tremendous help, thank you so much! It sounds like this is exactly the way I should go. And, I just got lucky and found a great deal on a used One.

Thanks once again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Glad to hear that. You might want to ask the seller whether they've rooted it. If so, just make sure you can root it again. It's possible to get this phone into an un-rootable state (where the bootloader can't ever be unlocked).

Some Questions

I rooted both my Desire and HTC One successfully and flashed many Roms over the years but a few things still remain a little unclear to me.

I've tried a few Roms on my One already but I really want to try out Android Revolution HD (ARHD). I'm getting a little confused with these guides and such linking to other guides etc. There doesn't seem to be any clear explanation and to be honest these threads are not the easiest to navigate or search - on the whole this place is great though :D

1. My first question is on custom recoveries - when I first rooted my One I installed Clockwork Mod. I have since done a few nandroids of a couple of different roms, will these backups be deleted if I was to flash TWRP (required for ARHD). Also, will flashing TWRP erase ANYTHING else on the device, e.g. my currently installed Rom, sdcard? I am guessing that the backups are stored in a different locatio somewhere on the "sdcard" and that my nandroids will be available after flashing but I have not seen this written as such anywhere so I'm not 100%.

2. ARHD also recommends using firmware from This Thread. I have found the ModelID/Cid of my phone (HTC_001) so I need a xx.x.401.x firmware. Following the download link on that thread brings me to This Page. The firmware version on my device is 3.62.401.1 Which firmware is he "recommending to use with the ARHD 41.0 rom? Is he reffering to a custom firmware since I already have the latest available?

3. What is the ideal order to perform these steps in and will doing any specific step negate a previous one? From what I gather this is what I should be doing:

Do any backups, e.g. Titanium or SMS Backup and Restore, reboot and do a Nandroid backup.

Double check CID and ModeID:

fastboot getvar all

Relock bootloader:

fastboot oem lock

fastboot oem reboot RUU

Flash firmware and Reboot:

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot reboot

Unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery (TWRP):

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxxx.img

fastboot reboot

Flash Rom from Recovery

Now, I realise that ARHD only "recommends" to use upgraded firmware, and that it is not essential. I would, however like to have the best possible performance/battery etc so while I do not need to do it immediately, I would like to do it in the future. If he is indeed referring to a custom firmware, do I need to S-OFF to achieve this?

Thanks a lot and I greatly appreciate any help :good:

I had flashed Sprint_HTC_One_Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_3.05.651.6 and wasn't feeling it so i tried installing viper one 4.2. Thats when things went downhill fast. I opened the zip through twrp 6.3.0 elected to install an update to 6.3.3 set my phone down and went to get a sandwich. i came back to a black screen with nothing else happening. waited....... still nothing. so i tried holding the power..... nothing. decided to try the bootloader. that worked so i tried entering recovery which brought me full circle to more black screen. thought to myself maybe fastboot would work so i got the all in one kit. it kept giving me a device not found message. at this point the phone was coming up as an unknown device in the manager. after several hours i got it to read as My Htc under android usb devices with these messages.

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.

I have been through forum after forum and cant figure out how to make the damn thing work. tried several methods and ..... no. im using a windows 8.1 pc. any help would be greatly appreciated

How to root and install Recovery on HTC one chinese version

Hello everyone, ive got this htc one i got at a good price, but i cant get to bootloader to follow the regular rooting process(S-Off) from htcdev webpage, i believe its the Htc one 802w version(I doubt it is, the back does not open, and its only one simplus this came with playstore), its stuck on android 4.2 now and id really like to get kitkat on this, am not so much of a sense fan, although id like to try out a few, but id appreciate GPE rom on this, please, any DEV in here with any working procedure to root & install recovery on this device. Ive tried all other regular option, but well this is the chinese version, its different.

Volume down + power gets me to factory mode settings where its all written in chinese(Hankul i guess)

and the only thing ive managed to do is wipe it several times, and get to test all the hardwares.

Volume Up + Power give me these options;

Select Boot Mode:

[VOLUME_UP to select. VOLUME_DOWN is Ok]

[RECOVERY MODE]

[FASTBOOT MODE] <<=

[NORMAL MODE]

the only option that works here is normal and recovery(which is basic android 3e recovery).

the fastboot mode freezes the mobile, until well the battery runs out of charge.

All help appreciated, if possible links to any files i might need to achieve this too.

Ive added screenshot too(Sorry about the quality)

Thanks all

Is there a way to use the proximity sensors to shut off my screen? Bought a flip case for my HTC One and I want my screen to shut off when I close the case. I am sure that many of you guys will remember flip phones, I want my phone to behave like a flip phone.

I tried a app called smart screen but it doesn't seem to work the way it is supposed to work. When I close my phone just starts to vibrate every 2 or 3 seconds and it instantly turns back on when I open it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
1. Installing TWRP won't do anything with your CWM backups, you won't be able to restore them without flashing CWM again.

2. Did you install an official Android 4.3 with the associated firmware? If so, I don't think you need to upgrade your firmware for 4.4. But the instructions are most likely referring to any firmware that comes with the official 4.4 release. If that's newer than the newest Android version that's currently available for your phone, you need to be S-Off to install the very newest firmware. (This is not a custom firmware, it's just a firmware that wasn't intended for your phone, and I have no idea whether it's safe to install.)

3. You should copy all your data to your computer, because when you try to unlock for rooting, the phone will probably wipe the sdcard.

I'm sorry, but I think your phone is fake. The only time I've heard of Chinese bootloaders is in discussions about fake phones. Besides, I've rooted several HTC phones bought in China and Hong Kong (including my current HTC One), and the bootloader is always in English. (Though your screenshots are too blurry to actually see the text.)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grinning38:
1. After installing TWRP I used the wipe feature to completely wipe the device. I was under the impression that the sdcard contents would be untouched but this was not the case. I lost everything, including the ARHD Rom I was about to flash. So I tried to push the Rom using Adb in recovery but it would not connect. I thought I was in a lot of bother but when I rebooted the phone my original stock rom started booting. Is this Rom stored on a completely different partition that cannot be touched? It's a little confusing, but it really saved me :)

Also, I created a TWRP backup once I installed ARHD and I have found this backup using Root Explorer, however I no longer see the CWM folder here so that must have been wiped too, yes?

I realise now that I should have just used the wipe feature in Aroma but you live and learn I guess.

2. 1. I had flashed other Roms, yes. Maybe that was included with a CM10.2 OTA update, or Insert Coin.

3. My phone was already rooted and I regularly back up everything to my PC, especially when I am going to flash a Rom.

Appreciate the help with my noob questions ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Well, normally the wipe doesn't wipe /sdcard, but there is that option. You may have pressed it... but for ARHD, I normally do the wipe within Aurora (because when I don't, the install fails, never for any reason I can understand). And yes, the phone's OS is stored on another partition, /system. You never wipe /system unless you have a very specific reason (and still, TWRP and CWM will let you do this if you want). So you'll want to get the ROM onto the phone, reboot and do it all again, being more conservative with your wiping.

By the way, the CWM folder is never visible to normal apps. It can be found only using a root explorer, in /data/media/clockworkmod, or using ADB in /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod. It normally gets wiped only during a "full" wipe of userdata. (CWM backups are stored very close to /sdcard.)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grinning38:
Ok, well it seems I had indeed deleted everything. I was almost certain the Wipe feature I used in TWRP said that it would not wiped the sdcard but it is of no consequence now anyways. Thanks for clarifying that a little more regarding the /system partition. So the original OS will reside there until one was to manually wipe the /system partition? And this would have to be done explicitly by the user in recovery?

So, basically if something goes wrong (like it sort of did for me), the original OS will always be there to fall back on? Sorry if I'm being dumb but do I have that right?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManImCool:
So I just got a AT&T black HTC One, unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP (first time, always used CWM in the past) rooted, s-off. Nandroid backup. I am no stranger to flashing ROMs with past devices but I CANNOT get a custom rom to install on this thing! I have tried a couple different 4.4 ROMs and each one always gives me some sort of error or failure when installing. Each time I do the standard TWRP wipe, then immediately try and flash, and they never successfully install. When I reboot it shows the HTC screen then crashes, and automatically reboots into recovery. Any ideas on what am I doing wrong? Is it something with TWRP I'm unaware of? Do the rom files have to be placed somewhere specific in TWRP?

Thanks in advance!

This is what I see everytime after trying to flash a ROM:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
I'm so curious that I booted into TWRP to check the UI, and now I understand what happened. There's a warning screen that says internal storage won't be touched, and underneath there are two buttons and a confirmation slider. You are intended to use the confirmation slider--pressing the buttons will take you to screens where internal storage can be wiped. However, a slider is a more "difficult" UI element than a button, so the system actually told you there would be no wipe, then implicitly directed you to an option that *would* wipe internal storage. (I just contacted the TWRP team and suggested an alternative UI. I don't know whether they'll bite.)

As for your question, if something goes wrong while installing a ROM, /system will be kaput but your user data (both apps and /sdcard) will be fine, unless you wiped them beforehand (or via the ROM's installer). This is why it's almost impossible to permanently screw up an Android phone if you never flash things to the /system partition.
