Hi,

i have on my HTc one ROM Android Revolution 20.1 by mike. Phone was unlock using htc dev.

I'd like to change ROM to Google Android Revolution 4.4 KitKat.

Do i need S-OFF, if i have unlocked bootloader and do a full wipe?

No, unlocked bootloader is sufficient. You do need to full wipe. You can get a ROM here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2438026

Multi Touch loss in games

Hi All,

I've been in the XDA for a while, reading,flashing and thanking. But now I need some advice.

My HTC One now as the KitKat GPE, with stock kernel. Every time, even back in the Sense 5.5 days, I've changed the kernel like ElementalX or bulletproof I loose multitouch in games...for example...FIFA 14 or GTA Vice City

I've found more people with the same experience in the HTC ONE X: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1824533

But...does it also fits to a HTC One? Is that a way to flash a fix? Anyone with the same problem?

Thanks in advance to this great community!

GPe Recovery

Hey guys, i've got a standard M7 which I converted to a GPe. If I want to boot to recovery I get the android with the red exclamation sign. Does this mean I don't have a recovery or didn't I access it properly?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
How did you gain access to that screen? Was it through the recovery option via the bootloader?

If it wasn't, access recovery by doing as mentioned above. Then press Power + Volume up + volume down (briefly at the same time) and then you should access the recovery which will have options like in this post :)

Hi, I need some advice.

I'm on 4.1.2 stock, rooted, S-Off, unlocked and stock recovery. I have a 4.3 OTA (~500MB) from a sdcard backup that I downloaded from "Check Updates" some time ago, matching the firmware version of my phone (I guess that's how OTAs from HTC works), but since I didn't upgraded at the time, now it won't ask me to upgrade again. So, my question:

I'm safe to rename that OTA to update.zip, boot into stock recovery and select it from there? I can get to the same screens from this guy (see attachments), but I'm not sure if my downloaded OTA will work the same way.

Thanks!

Deleted my internal storage, now I am stuck in the recovery menu

First off let me apologize for my stupidity, i rooted my inspire 4g and galaxy s2 and had no problems switching roms and what not. But for some reason I cant get anything to work with my htc one. So just some info about my phone, its s-off, rooted, and running an older version of twrp. The initial problem I was having was whenever I would install a rom, there would always be a problem with the root afterwards and that would put in in a boot loop. So after trying everything I could think of I decided... hmmm i should definitely delete my internal storage and see if that fixes it. So I am left with a phone that can get to the recovery menu, but isnt recognized by my computer when i plug it in. Any ideas?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Seriously? By any measure, he's clearly booted into recovery and doesn't have a custom recovery.

This is the stock recovery. So yeah, you don't have a custom recovery.

TWRP should will let you access the phone using ADB commands. So boot to recovery, connect to USB (with a good cable), and use the commands "adb shell "mkdir /data/media && mkdir /data/media/0'" and "adb push <some zip> /data/media/0/". Then you'll have a ROM on the sdcard to flash.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Good, but you're missing one of the pieces. First, you need to install ADB if you haven't already. After you install it, you can either add its directory to the PATH variable or just navigate to the location where ADB lives (or maybe make a shortcut). Because installing a program isn't enough for the windows shell to know where "adb.exe" lives. It can't find it. You may need to search for more thorough instructions.

After it's installed, you must type the command I suggested *exactly* (without the typos), except that I made one mistake: the command is better written without the "&&" operator, so it will continue even if there is an error--it should be:

adb shell "mkdir /data/media; mkdir /data/media/0"
adb push <path-or-name-of.zip> /data/media/0/
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidCarter93:
I know and therefore I didn't say he had a custom recovery.

I said that when you select the recovery option from the bootloader (whilst not having a custom recovery), you need to use the button combination to access to recovery options.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
No need to apologize. You're doing it right. Except that I'm not sure the second directory got created, so to be safe you should try again:

adb shell mkdir /data/media/0

And the "push" command should be a path to the filename with no brackets (quotes may be necessary). Here's an example (but I don't use Windows, and the way you write a path/filename is slightly different).

adb push "C:\Documents and Settings\Downloads\AndroidRevolutionHD.zip" /data/media/0/

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
How exactly did it fail? There are some things you can try to fix it, like a formatting internal storage from recovery and wiping the /system partition. But flashing a RUU or .zip from HTC is a pretty safe and reasonable solution, and you can flash a custom ROM after that. (Though installing HTC stuff will wipe your custom recovery, so you'll need to re-flash that.) Note that HTC stuff is installed from fastboot, not recovery, and that you need to find a file that matches your phone's CID (you can see this in fastboot by running "fastboot getvar all"). Fixing it the normal way is probably easier--if you tell us how the install failed, maybe we can help you.

OTA Upgrade to KitKat Fail on HTC One Converted GPe

Hello, I bought a second-hand HTC One (M7) that has been converted by its original owner to run on Google Play Edition, rather than on HTC Sense. Today, I received a notification to upgrade to KitKat, which I unthinkingly and foolishly did. Now, my phone will not work.

I can boot my phone to TWRP recovery mode. Otherwise, if I try to power my phone on normally, I simply get a blue screen.

I searched through this website, this solution seems to be available: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2546682&page=3

However, I have a few questions about this solution:

1. Is this solution applicable to my converted phone? The OP on that thread has an HTC One that came with Google Play Edition.

2. And if the solution is applicable, I am afraid I don't know what the steps listed means (for instance, I don't know what is involved in "Original stock recovery.img".) May I ask someone to guide me through, or point me to resources that can guide me through, the steps listed?

I would be very grateful for any advice on how to get my phone to work again.

Thank you!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
It probably is. I don't think the GPe has different hardware than the Sense edition. Before you start changing stuff, you could make a TWRP backup and copy the backup (and your /sdcard contents) to your computer using ADB (after installing it on your computer and booting the phone to TWRP): "adb pull /data/media/0 sdcard-backup"

As for "original stock recovery", that means the recovery that came with your phone. It will be in .img format, not .zip. You can search online for it (you probably didn't make a backup when first rooting your phone). Flash it in fastboot, then download the installable KitKat .zip (from Google) and flash that using the instructions provided.

I'm grasping at straws here, but if you go to fastboot and connect to USB and run "fastboot getvar all" and copy the output here, I'll compare it to mine and try to figure out whether our phones are the same. (Mine's a HK phone, and everything works properly as far as unlocking and custom recoveries, besides that root needs to be a specific version or it doesn't work.)

I'll add my question from a developer thread here - as I am having trouble rooting and I'm afraid my question is too basic for folks in that thread to address.

Having followed the instructions here , it appears I have been successful completing steps one and two (unlock + recovery). Booting into fastboot, at the top of the screen I see that the phone is both **tampered** and **unlocked**. However, my PC still does not allow me to have read/write access to the phone, and thus I cannot copy over the .zip required to root.

Noob Question

How does one go about capturing the Recovery partition without rooting it 1st to capture the original one. I have a Dev Ed

So I know that when doing cat /proc/emmc, recovery shows up mmcblk0p34: 00fffe00 00000200 "recovery"

but using dd I get permission denied.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
If you downloaded them manually, you need to get all the OTAs in between. If your phone automatically downloaded it, it's probably a 4.2->4.4 delta.

I doubt anyone understands the various things that can possibly go wrong well enough to answer this. Just remember: backup, backup, backup.

The dumlock:

1) will not cause problems with "some apps". It will cause failed flashes.

2) is an issue with old bootloaders, I believe. If it wasn't a problem before, it won't be a problem now.

You need to boot a custom recovery instead of flashing it: "fastboot boot recovery.img". Then you can use ADB with root permissions. If booting to TWRP, you may even be able to make a nandroid backup of the recovery partition. Note: I think I read this doesn't work with TWRP on this phone, but I'm not sure.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Perhaps it's not possible with your version of the bootloader, or perhaps it was never possible. Maybe the original recovery image was pulled with a JTAG reading the flash chip directly. If you could get a root exploit without flashing a custom recovery, you could get a stock recovery image by running "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 of=/sdcard/recovery.img".

The instructions are here. My personal favorite is the "ADB / Terminal" method. It doesn't even require shutting down or rebooting (regardless of what the instructions imply).

Your other question was whether you can flash the OTA from (stock) recovery? I assume you can, for two reasons:

1. This is the way it works on the Nexus 4

2. When the phone installs an OTA in the normal way, how do you think it works? It's gotta boot into recovery to make system changes anyway.

But the bottom line is that you should try it and see.
