No OS, Rooted HTC M8 RUU 5.1

I have been struggling for weeks after i mistakenly did a wipe from TWRP all of a sudden my recovery files are gone with my OS. So phone is stuck at the Google screen.

My phone: HTC ONE M8 GPe (ATT) ROOTED on 5.0.1

First: Make sure you have the right RUU or ROM zip file for you phone. I have a GPe Rooted 5.1 RUU.

Return to stock recovery: fastboot flash recovery YourStockFileName.img (eg mine was stockRecovery1.12.502.18.img)

Return to oem lock; the black HTC screen like the subject post above.

Flash your RUU file by doing a : fastboot flash zip YourRUU.zip

you will get the "flash image again immediately" error.

Make sure you remain in the HTC black screen, if not, return to oem lock.

Reflash the zip file.

I AM S-On,& i have an encrypted RUU.zip.can i flash it using above Process?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Most if not all the latest RUU's are .exe files you wouldn't need to use this method.

Also in the future please don't quote the entire OP. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] xpressm:
The instructions in the OP do the same thing as using an RUU executable, this just happens to be the ROM.zip that gets created in your Windows temporary directory from the RUU executable. It's just a more direct way of flashing the RUU using the bootloader.

Truthfully, running the RUU executable performs a few other checks like what your current version is and asks you if you want to continue etc., but it then just uses the ROM.zip to restore your device.

Were you S-Off before your device got bricked? Did doing ADB Sideload brick your device, because I don't think you can flash an RUU that way, the RUU ROM zip does not flash from custom recovery like other zips.

If you can get into fastboot in the bootloader, you can use the method in the OP, otherwise you will have to try the RUU executable which is run from Windows usually while the phone is booted into Android. Either method should run whether you are locked, custom recovery, etc. The only thing that will cause problems is if you are on a newer version trying to go back to an earlier version and you are S-On. If you are S-Off it doesn't matter.

Hi there.

I got a hold of my new S4 yesterday like a lot of you and I'm noticing there aren't apps that take advantage of the advanced features that the Galaxy S4 provides.

I thought I'd start a thread to post Apps that take advantage of things like the ;

barometer, temperature sensor, IR capabilities, etc..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashatar:
Hello everyone!

So i am having a problem with my N7000.I flashed it to JB with stock ROM the german version of it from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2241106

I had JB before i flashed it with this ROM but i used KIES to update my N7000.I had that problem since i updated via KIES.

So let's start:

1.I am having a very fast battery drain,here is a pic showing that for only 2 and a half hours my phone is down to 73%.

2.The battery indicator is misleading.IDK how to describe it so here is a pic:

Now the thing here is that The green battery bottle when it is 100% it indicates as the bottle is completely green.Now on the n7100 and the S3 and S2 when the battery reaches 90% the green goes down by one line,as for me it goes down at 94%,so i don't see why does it do this.

PS:After flashing my phone i did a full Factory Data Reset.My phone was never rooted or modified.I would really like to see why is this battery indicator misleading.

Thanks everyone in advance :) .Hope i will get some help here.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] little-vince:
The stock battery indicator considers the entire icon to represent 100%.

If you don't fancy that, there are numerous mods in the Themes and Apps section that allow you to customise your battery indicator.

reboot recovery

did it but ...

i did what he said. using the emulator.

and yet it still goes back to the sony logo and then the nexus 7 bootup screen dn then back to normal phone mode,

can i ask u what do u mean by saying " NOW IF U HAVE RECOVERY installed"/?

meaning cwm right?

i don't have to do anything else right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] abbykhan:
Yes I mean cwm

Try installing a fresh recovery, if you have pc/laptop and an internet connection then install Recover-X for pc connect ur neo v to pc with debugging and Unknown resources Ticked ( means turned ON) and follow the on screen instructions

Inform if it works

you don't have cwm installed. You can try what abbykhan told or install it directly on your device using cwm installer or xparts.

i DO Have cwm and xparts

i actuallu do have them installed! haha both theses 2 apps cwm - the icon of a like a hat and below says "rom manager " and thre x-parts,

this is what i do

1 : go to the emulator and type

su

then reboot recovery "

2 :

the phone auto reboots and i dont touch the phone at all and its boots to the sony logo and then next screen is the nexus 7 boot up logo and then finally to normal phone mode

Did you try installing cwm again? Because it could only happen because you are not having cwm. Try installing cwm again and tell if it is working or not.

If you want to change the ROM go to the thread of the respective rom and see how you can do it. If you want to change the kernel. Download any ics kernel and flash it via flashtool. If you only want to get root back check the sticky threads in development about rooting. Since you have unlocked your bootloader rooting will be easier. :)

Thanks for putting this together..

At first it seems a little complex for an aspiring modder, but still a great reference for the novice as well as the experienced modders..

Maybe offer some example scripts..? Feel free to use some from any of my zips.. Also, that goes for people trying to make their own - look at what others have done as examples.

Also might be worth noting the default permissions for system are 0644 - meaning if you are only installing things that need those perms (like an .apk, .jar or .so, etc), then you don't need to specify permissions in the updater-script.

EDIT: another text editor worth trying is Sublime Text 2 (thanks to cogeary for the tip) - need to eventually pay for the license (or find another way around it) or you will get pop-ups.

It's for both Windows and Linux (I use it in Ubuntu constantly, and mostly Notepad++ in Windows).
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
I'm definitely going to try and make this simpler.BTW great idea of putting sample zips together for reference.Thanks.

And yeah some stuff needs to be added even the path for data and cache partitions.And also I'm thinking of adding a slight explanation of busybox.The folder structure of a zip and what files it contains those are also on the to-do list.

Will get back to this once I'm done playing with MIUIv5.Enjoying it so far.

Hi, guys!

I want to get a 3G Dongle for my TF101. But, I have some questions for those who had experience with them:

1. My model is not TF101G. It's just TF101. Would it work if I will connect it through an external usb accessory or something like that?

2. If I am going to buy one, I have to pay just when I am buying it and then I can use it without limits, I have to pay monthly a fee to Vodafone after I'm making a contract with them, I have to pay a different amount every month (if I'm using it more, I have to pay more), I have to use a limit e.g. 150 MBs then, if I exceed, I have to pay as much as I consumed after the limit, OR any other way?

3. Is there any way I can get 3G without buying a 3G Dongle?

Thank you, guys. And, if I must buy one to be able to use 3G, can you please give me a link to an external USB cable and the dongle you recommend? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lunarplexus:
Ive gone through several ROMs like EliteMod (GB), MIUI 2.3.23, Flinny's latest CM10.1 and AOSP 4.1 builds and finally come back to a fresh install of MIUI but once a day, the launcher will stop responding and the status bar will disappear. This leads to an FC and then the whole screen goes blank. Fortunately, the Power Menu does pop up and I can reboot of the phone to set things straight. This happens on ADW launcher, Go Launcher, Smart Launcher and the prepackaged launchers that come with each respective ROM.

I'm using 4EXT Recovery and Clean Master Task Killer which cleans out the RAM every time I turn the screen on. Do you think these may have anything to do with the problem? Or is it something else?

Should I go back to stock and unroot? I hope not.

Please help.

Stop Clean Master Task Killer

Your launcher process is getting killed. I was going to recommend running a script to lock the launcher in memory, since this sometimes happens inadvertently on some ROMs, but "Clean Master Task Killer" is almost certainly going to be the cause of your problems.
