[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
HTC Dev unlock will allow you to flash a recovery, root, and install a custom rom if you so choose. Realize however that most custom roms are based on 1.29 and will likely have camera and wifi issues with the new firmware.

If you're S-OFF, you can RUU back to 1.29 and be a-okay, provided that the Sprint OTA does nothing beneficial that you need. If you're not S-OFF, it is possible to S-OFF via revone 0.21 and ADB. Most will tell you that it cannot be done but I managed it with little effort. Just don't try using it with a terminal app on the device, it probably won't work. ADB shell + revone will S-OFF someone locked on 1.31.x.

Personal experience, the 1.31 firmware and update made my cell reception weak as hell and wifi unusable at times even when I had full signal. It apparently activated HD voice, but I haven't noticed. That's what prompted me to S-OFF 1.31 and downgrade with a RUU.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tws101:
If I ruu back will I have to clear the phones memory? I assume yes.

Is there anyway to just install superuser?

Is there anyway to unlock?

I am soff. Locked on the new firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
Long as you're S-OFF, you should be able to flash a 1.29 RUU (like I did) and downgrade. If you dev unlock, you can flash a recovery from fastboot and install supersu from there. There's a supersu flashable zip here:http://download.chainfire.eu/315/
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tws101:
So flash this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250904

Then revone will grant me unlock again then I can use twrp to flash su again?

Correct?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
I flashed that RUU and still had S-OFF. Even if you, for whatever reason, lose S-OFF - just HTC Dev unlock. You can flash a recovery, install supersu, and be about your day without ever touching S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tws101:
I have not done anything yet but since I am soff can't I flash a zip from fastboot?

Meaning just flash superuser even though I am locked?

If this is possible does anyone have a link to superuser with an androidinfo.txt with it so I can flash it in fastboot?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
Download a recovery,

fastboot flash recovery downloadedimage.img

Then download the supersu zip I linked in one of my last posts. Reboot into the recovery and flash the zip. Mission accomplished.

Even without S-Off, all of this can be done. Even custom roms can be flashed on the One with just HTC Dev unlock. I'm not sure what you mean by s-off but locked. Just make sure you're HTC dev unlocked or S-Off, follow the steps above, and all of your problems will go away.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tws101:
I am LOCKED with S-OFF

This command will not work: (Already tried it)

fastboot flash recovery downloadedimage.img

I want to avoid HTC DEV as it clears the phone.

It is my understanding I can use the fastboot flash command if I flash a zip with a android-info.txt file in it. According to the forums that should work since I am S-OFF. Instead of flashing a recovery I was thinking of just flashing SU that way but havn't found an SU pre-prepared to flash that way.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
My understanding is that with a locked bootloader, you're still going to be locked out of changing boot-time code (given that the entire purpose of a locked bootloader is to prevent modifications to onboard software that could compromise secure information), unless you're using a runtime exploit (which is generally for rooting only, and I don't know that there are any such exploits for the Sprint One).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] krazyflipj:
Not sure if this would work but if you used revone try unlock command in step 6 of OP http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tws101:
That was the very first thing I tried.

After updating via OTA i ran revone with -u and got segment fault. Based on the revone thread it will no longer work once you take that OTA. Everyone is getting the segment fault after OTA.

I figured with an update.zip and using fastboot flash update.zip If the update putting an Android-info.txt file might work. I know fastboot flash recovery rec.img fails.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
Okay, now I understand a bit better. Why not just take the 11 minutes required to back up whats on the phone, then HTC dev unlock?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tws101:
Just to update everyone Indirect helped me solve this issue.

1. Create txt file named android-info.txt

Data in file 4 lines

modelid: PN0720000

cidnum: SPCS_001

mainver: 1.29.651.10

hbootpreupdate:3

2. Get recovery of your choice and rename it recovery.img

3. Zip files up into zip file name of zip does not matter

4. Run the following fastboot commands

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip nameofzipfile.zip

fastboot reboot

You now have a recovery of your choice on a LOCKED S-OFF system and can re-flash superuser.

Thank to Indirect!!!

hi everyone, i am thinking of buying a new galaxy s4 32gb, at full price, i dont want to loss me unlimited , from verizon, im coming from a GN CM10.1 i was waiting to see what the moto x was about. that was a big disappointment. so i have been reading the forums for 2 hours , i am very confuse, on how to unlock bootloader??, the root process,? how to install CWM recovery. ???

i'v been reading that you cant root ME7 or something like that. im very confused. could someone please send me to the right path..

how to unlock bootloader, ??

how to root new G4 32gb verizon

how to install CWM recovery,

im going to install either CM10 or google play edition roms

thanks for your help guys. i using figure it out for myself but , i guess it s easier on nexus devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
Most likely your new phone will not come with ME7, but if it does, you can follow the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380325, pretty straightforward.

Most likely you are on the older build, which then requires you to first

get it into download mode, flash an older kernel using odin, then root using the motochopper exploit (just a computer USB connection and a click to confirm) and then reflashing the stock kernel.

more info for MDK root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290798

To install recovery, you can just install an app from the play store, Goo manager, and then follow their instructions. Just involves one download.

Then using TWRP, you can do anything you want. You should know as you have experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
ok. thanks

i am thinking of buying the phone today. is there a 32gb verizon developers edition? if so should i buy that one instead. will be easy to root right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
so there is no way to unlock bootloader??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
The only unlocked bootloader is on the dev edition. There has never been an actual unlock for the regular i545. Rather, we had an exploit that, for all intents and purposes, served the same purpose. Unfortunately, but expectedly, it was patched wroth the latest update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scott62185:
From my understanding, there's only a 16gb dev edition. And only in black.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
i ordered a 32gb version. will get it on Wednesday. i hope it comes with MDK and not ME7 ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n2imagination:
So I first got a ME7 from costco but took it back today and told the gal at the kiosk to swap it out but that I would activate it at home, which I did, and did not update. Long story short I have root and custom ROM. Soooo... here is the question. To free up all that space on my internal, so as to not end up with only 6GB available, I need to do a full wipe correct? Then do a fresh flash from sd card? That should give me more of the internal 16GB available minus of course the CM or other ROM i put on + gapps. Thanks for any input!

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

I almost ordered one also. Amazon had the 32GB for $200 but it got backlogged very quick and I felt that it wouldnt get here for many weeks so I went with the 16GB at costco, which btw is now $150!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
i paid full price for my phone. i didnt want to loss my unlimited everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
when i get my s4 tomorrow, if i dont connect the sim card will it ask for the update?

plus could i do the root method with out the sim card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n2imagination:
even with my sim in it downloaded the update but doesnt actually run the update without you choosing to so dont worry. just activate the phone get it booted up and then root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
im just really nerves, about the update.

i will see what happens tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
im rooted.!!!

im going to flash CM10.2

i have some questions

1. how do i automatically save the pictures i take with camera to sdcard?

2, how do i save my ringtones, notifications , and alarm tones to the sdcard, for my s4 to pick up???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
1. Theres an option in the camera settings to save to ext sd card

2. Create these folders on the ext sd card and save them there

media/audio/ringtones

media/audio/notifications

media/audio/alarms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
thanks for the heads up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
You betcha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
i dont see this setting on CM10.2 8/7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thepianoman77:
Only Touch Wizz Camera (comes with stock ROM) has this option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Theres some cm versions that have that option. I did some googling about it earlier. Why that version doesnt have it, I couldnt tell you. Worse comes to worse you can get a 3rd party app that supports it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
The system partition is set to a certain size that is not able to be altered. What you have free, is what you have free unless you uninstall some apps and store all non-essentials on your extsdcard.

could someone help with titanium back up pro

i did a TB backup of my galaxy nexus, i want to install the games with data to my new s4

how do i go about doing that??

i try by putting the TB folder in the SDcard. but TB doesnt see the folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n2imagination:
Go into the preferences of tibu and scroll down to the backup directory and it will have an auto detect button. Tell it to search entire device. That said I'm not entirely sure it will find it then since the device id is going to be different. Give it a shot though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
You have to change the backup folder location under preferences. I did the same thing when switching from my s3 to the s4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lw00d:
TB doesnt see my SDcard. do you think its because my SDcard is exfat??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
It could be not quite sure. I know the s3 had a few problems with exfat.

Sometimes when watching a video, the speaker would have this cracking sound as if they signed distorted. My volume is like 3 notches lower than maximum when I'm watching something. It's as if it's popping/cracking. Should I return my One, or is this normal?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herwegan:
hard to say. maybe the sound quality of some videos is lower than in other videos, so it would be clear that the sound starts to crack if it's to loud (overdrive).

[Xperia Z General] Teo032:
Dropped my baby waist high at the end of my workout and bam screen cracked. My first cracked screen!

Anyways, when I first got this phone I thought "Hey it feels pretty fragile, but it probably is sturdier than it feels... nope. It fell on thin carpet floors with my earphone Jack still in place. Funny thing is.... It fell on the earphone jack creating a small focus area of impact which lead to the crack. I believe it hit it hard enough that it bent it from the inside out breaking the digitizer and cracking the screen. Screen isn't bad but touch doesn't work anymore. More details. It has the spigen case on it with the spigen screen protector. .. But even with that case... it was able to land on the area where it is weakest.

Enough of my rant, just be careful of this phone fellas. Shatter proof film, but not crack proof. Going to insurance claim it on Monday.
[Xperia Z General] gm007:
I dropped mine 2 meter high and nothing cracked just little scratch.

Ps i don't use any case.

[Xperia Z General] dante501:
First of a phone is made for many things but not to be dropped. That's a fact. STOP DROPPING **** ALL THE TIME. Second of in the sony center here in Berlin they dropped that phone on concrete tables and all kinds of stuff and it didn't break. But again. Why can't ppl not hold on to there stuff? It always puzzles me.
[Xperia Z General] Calvat:
You mean something like this?

I've dropped mine from about knee height and mine survived. No case. It slipped out of my pocket when I went to sit down.

I have a technique to hold my phone from the three sides that gravity affects the most for the phone... I noticed everyone holds it from the side but never the bottom, the place most prone that'll make the phone drop out - and down - onto the floor...
[Xperia Z General] dante501:
Exactly they did that in Sony Center here in Germany as well. And I see u like Erica Griffin. She is a great reviewer.
[Xperia Z General] Calvat:
I don't really know her none the less like her. She's just one of the few people I stumbled upon who gave reviews and videos of the Xperia Z when I was looking to buy it.

For anyone who drops their phone a lot, remember there's a lanyard on the corner. Finger lanyards even exist now days, but I've got mine strapped to my jeans so if it drops it doesn't hit the ground!
[Xperia Z General] dante501:
Yeah

[Xperia Z General] troyism:
dropped on concrete screen down and corner down in same day; phone is fine. the fact that you dropped yours with one of the flaps open & having headphone jack in created a weak point in the exoskeleton since it wasn't fully sealed

sucks bro
[Xperia Z General] Teo032:
I wish I broke the fall with my foot! Argh lol

Yeah, unfortunate and bad timing. Just finished my workout. About to head to the locker. Whipped my phone out. I think I was swyping... then I put my hand down. Not knowing it caught on to the earphone wires. Bam slung the phone down. Sucks but **** happens.

And yes guys, I know phones aren't suppose to be dropped. Captain obvious. What I mostly find fragile was the digitizer breaking and how the glass was easily pressed upon when touching it. Just a little rant and notice that when the glass breaks... it's really fragile, unlike some of the other phones I messed around with that has cracked screens (besides iPhones) where if it breaks, you can still use the phone without any notice of the glass moving. Oh wells! Waiting on the replacement
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
I have a handstrap, so not only can I hold the phone easily, if I'm holding it above my face while on the bed it can't ninja through my fingers and smack me in the face. No case needed, used to have one but I took it off, it's solid as it when naked.
[Xperia Z General] babylonbwoy:
You must be a superhero or a god or something, us human being make mistake sometimes, I don't know nobody on earth that never had a mobile falling from the pocket / bed/ hands / etc. It happens everyday even to the most careful people like me.

I said drop but I should say fall instead if it makes any difference. English not my native tongue.

Hello XDA developers,

I really hope somebody can help me PLEASE with my issue with this tablet.

I had it rooted, installed all the apps i wanted on it and it really worked great. i also had a 32GB micro sd card installed in it.

For an unknown reason it bricked today. I managed to get it to work again after a hard reset (pressed the pin in the whole in the back and held it for a few seconds until the display came back. All my installed apps and the apps I moved to the SD card disappeared. I restored the wi-fi and my email information. Then i tried to download some apps from Google Play to restore some of the lost apps. It shows that it is downloading, the bar is moving but no apps are actually downloading... i tries several and the all show the same. In setting there are NO downloaded apps to display.

Can some one please help???

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
I'm using xbmc. Is there a certain test version you use to get it to work?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalamario:
I use the one from july 14th. The passthrough is enabled in settings when you select HDMI as output.

Settings - > System - > Audio - > HDMI as output and 5.1 (or more) as number of speakers.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
And it actually works? It shows up on mine too, but nothing comes out. I don't recall which version I'm using. I'll check it out later and report back. Thanks.

I'm using this one http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds...ec63cd-adddroidlibstagefright-armeabi-v7a.apk

But I had it working also with other stagefright versions.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
I tried the linked version as well as the latest nightly and test versions. None have worked with DTS for me. I even tried on receivers from 2 different brands. They both do the exact same thing and release this loud noise instead of any sound. Does your receiver actually say DTS on it when playing the files?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reposter432:
Someone got it working on their Onkyo. I've been watching stuff with DTS and DD 5.1 this way on my TX-SR606 for several weeks on XBMC (libstagefright nightly builds). I checked my speakers, it does work.

"Go into Settings > Hardware Setup > HDMI >

Turn Off HDMI Control RIHD

This will now show an option called Audio TV Out (This passes audio to the TV when you don't want to use your speakers)

Turn this on and Voila you now have DD/DTS on every video you play"

This is from the "DTS audio via XBMC possible?" thread on Ouyaforum_dot_com (I can't post links yet).

If that doesn't work on your receiver, there's another (annoying) way: Start playing movie file, turn off receiver, wait a couple of seconds, turn it back on. The DTS or DD audio should light up. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries for it to work. If you pause or stop and replay, you have to do that same power cycling again.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
Ok just got mine to work. I have a Denon and changing my Audio out to TV only stopped any audio for me. What I did was have to go into input setting and change the decode from Auto to to DTS (which stopped the audio) then back to auto and it works for DD and DTS. Turning my receiver off and on and changing channels didn't work either for me.

I tried fast forwarding and once in a while it would kick back to the loud sound and I would have to change it back. Tomorrow I'll watch a whole movie without fast forwarding it and see if it does it randomly or just with occasional FF.

Thanks for the help.
