[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FRisma:
No. I just tried to flash it using RUU. The thing is that I bought the phone, brand new, factory unlocked from eBay. And since it has SuperCid, I can't get the right RUU. After reading many posts, I understod that any RUU would work because of the SuperCid and the S-Off feature. But it's not working.

I think that if I want to flash a custom rom, i should have rooted the phone. But once again, the phone had the stock firmware and I did not rooted it. Android sugested me to update to the new version and after I accepted the upgrade, the phone start rebooting infinitely.

I was wondering if some of you could just indicate me which RUU should I use, or to point me to a tutorial of how to try a different solution.

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TenKoX:
What about if you try this: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radi o_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe

PD: You don't need to be root to flash a custom rom, just a custom recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FRisma:
The RUU you suggested me worked without a problem!!!

But after "flashing" the phone's still in a boot loop.

I don't know what to do!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FRisma:
I tried to flash many roms, all without success. The rom flashed ok, but the phone was still in a boot loop.

I'm tired, frustrated, one week lasted, and a lot of money spent on it. Now is on my desk, trying to sell it as is. I was thinking in contacting HTC but I'm sure they will not answer. The problem was due to an OTA, I haven't done anything "risky" at my own, just accepted the update.

A charging cradle, magnetic charger which is pretty expensive and you can build your homemade cradle if you cant afford the original one

AT&T 820

This is great news! I have been trying to install this on my AT&T branded phone, but have not met with success. I know on the 920, to move it to an unbranded rom, you first have to flash a rogers rom pre portico, then move on from there. Unfortunately, there is no 820 available for Rogers. I have tried many different roms, but all of them end in the same error (0xFA001304) - (FFU not for this device).

I know these forums aren't very active, but if anyone has any idea I could try to get this working, I would be appreciative!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] soad1789:
Hey guys, so I recently picked up the S4 as I had an upgrade and chose this phone specifically for it's support by developers here on XDA. Strictly due to my own aloofness, and not having checked the forums for a few weeks before walking into the store (fail), I ran the update as it popped up immediately and I figured "why not" (I KNOW, I went full-retard and expected something useful from a Verizon OTA... they screwed me last time with an OTA too :( ).

Anyway, I still have about ten days before my "Worry-free Guarantee" runs out, and I'm really considering going back and claiming a warranty replacement on my phone in an attempt to receive a non-VRUAME7-equipped phone (as I said, the 16GB versions in stock there didn't have the update initially). If I attempt to claim the phone as defective, do you think I could avoid the $35 restocking fee, considering I'd swap for the exact same model of phone?

I'm not sure what to expect when going back there. Some CSR's seem much more technical than others, so I don't know if I'd be drilled about the issue I'm claiming. Any advice here? Would focusing on a 'bad battery' or 'device overheating' raise any red flags? Should I bring it in drained of battery life? I've kept excellent care of the phone; it's in mint condition without a scratch or blemish, non-rooted, and fully updated.

Even if I have to pay the $35 fee, I would do it for a non-updated phone. I'm just worried that by chance the CSR that gives me my replacement would decide to run the upgrade, as it will pop up immediately. Also, any tips on ensuring I avoid the upgrade until I back up the phone and root it? Just yank out the SIM until it's good to go?

Thanks for any advice you may have. I'm new here so flame me relentlessly for any rules I may have broken ;). And yes, I know, ultimately I'm complaining about having an S4 (read: kinda being a *****).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ztkryan:
I stopped the update by turning off WiFi and data until I had it rooted and ROMed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheJ0hnman:
My understanding of the guarantee is that it can be returned for any reason. I can't tell from a quick Google search, but it sounds like you might have a shot at no restocking fee if you're exchanging for the same model.

Given those tidbits, I'd tell them you want to exchange the phone due to reduced functionality after the update, and leave it at that. If they offer to troubleshoot, you can then say "sure, remove the update", which they can't do. I think this approach will give you the best chance of leaving the store with an un-updated phone and no fee. No CSR is going to take the OTA after having to deal with the guy who really hates the update for nonspecific reasons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] soad1789:
Interesting point, TheJ0hnman. I think turning window animations to something atrocious will help me have something that seems effed upon a cursory check, as well as some other developer options that undoubtedly make you think "wtf" if you don't know better, like flash on update etc. (wish I could then rehide the developer menu). Do you really think blaming the update would work well? I think I'd rather feign ignorance and say that the update "screwed with everything, battery life and runs slow", and act as if I'm unfamiliar with technical operation of android.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zetsumeikuro:
I don't think user error is covered under the 14 day WFG ;).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cantare:
Why not keep it simple by saying you just want to swap colors. Whichever is less popular (white?) might have a bigger stock backlog & thus be more likely to have MDK firmware. Then either be bold and ask them not to update OTA, or be in a terrific hurry to get somewhere else and tell them you'll activate and set the phone up yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] soad1789:
That makes a lot of sense, cantare. Only thing is I might end up paying the restocking fee. I think I'll try the warranty replacement first. Imagine me going through all this just to get another VRUAME7'd phone! :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Unfortunately it's yourself that screwed you. Not the OTA.

Root users know NEVER to take an OTA.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaos2569:
Hi Everyone. I just upgraded to the S4 last Sunday and while I was in the store and they were activating the phone, it started the update. I did not realize that this update locked everything down.

So, I decided that I would wait it out and see when the new update would be cracked. That was a couple days ago and I was having flash withdrawals. This morning I figured I would go to the Verizon store near work and just ask straight up ask if I could return my phone because of the new update....and as soon as the words update came out of my mouth, the girl interrupted me and said "Yes, we are having all kinds of issues with the new update and have replaced phones all weekend. We will get you a new phone".

5 mins later, new phone in hand with MDK software. AND the whole store told me not to take the update that another one is in the works. Can't wait to get home and root this thing and get Andy's Bone Stock ROM running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] soad1789:
Wow. I hope I have a similar experience! kaos2569, you got a black 16gig this morning and it was pre-ME7? This truly gives me hope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaos2569:
Yes, I went to the store, and it was swapped out no problem. I didn't try to scam, or make up anything up. I just said what I posted and she stopped me mid sentence and knew about the update and how it was messing people's phones up and grabbed a brand new pre-updated one.

I just finished up rooting, installed a recovery, and installed Bone Stock. Everything went flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] boogerboy72:
my phone should be here weds, so ill give this a try this weekend. unless the doodoo brown ones come pre-update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] soad1789:
Wow do I feel sly! My experience was not quite as straightforward as yours, kaos2569, but I pulled it off! I had to convince two CSRs, one who actually also owned an S4 and was clearly no n00b (though he said he had the ME7 update so I guess not an XDA regular). I used one of the update screens in developer options to trick the first lady, who then restarted my phone and had me wait to be seen. While waiting, I went back and turned on developer options again, then turned them off, realizing beforehand that open apps will retain the "screwy" look even with the options off. The guy proceeded to investigate my phone for what must've been 20 minutes. I kept insisting the problem was intermittent and hinting at the possibility that the update played a role in the problem. After some skepticism (he noticed the developer options were off but the menu was available; I played dumb, saying I let a gadget-freak friend look at it for a bit), he finally offered me a free(!) replacement and I took it. I was waiting for a while once he got the new phone out, and was getting nervous that he might've been installing the update. He said "I'm downloading the update now, I'll run through it here to make sure there are no issues" so I immediately told him I had to be somewhere in ten minutes. He handed my phone back to me, I turned it off immediately, pulled the battery, and went home. Pulled the SIM card and booted-- still MDK indeed! Wow. It was a process but it was worth it. Can't wait to get some custom ROMs on this!

I can understand the animosity some people might have over doing something like this, but I was scarred by Verizon for nearly the entirety of the two years I had had my old phone, due to another damn OTA update, which didn't lock me out, but installed Gingerbread and made the phone basically impossible to use (legit, 12 seconds to open the ****** dialer). I just couldn't let Verizon lock me down again without a fight. And I will *SURELY* remember that guy the next time an upgrade comes along.

Thanks again kaos! You gave me the confidence to believe it could be done, and that it wasn't too late!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elliwigy:
all i did was take it back within first 14 days... before i did though i went into app settings and disabled all apps including play store so they were not visible in app drawer. i told him it was freezing and soft booting itself after i updated the phone.. then i told him i called in and spoke with a tech n did a factory reset and everything dissappeared including my apps and i cant dl apps since my play store is gone.. he was lookin at it for a bit and was like wow thats weird! i told him the tech said since i was within 14 days he told me to go back to the store and exchange for a new one that wasnt updated.. worked like a charm! i told him not to update it that ill decline it until they come out with a new update n that was it! rooted n installed twrp soon as i got home been flashin every rom on here since! currently on hyperdrive n lovin it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zetsumeikuro:
And you are proud of this? It's because of people like you returning non defective products that the rest of the consumers have to suffer. tl;dr guess you have a total lack of integrity and morals to just accept your screw up. You sir are a douche bag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Reading to learn about your device. Crazy, Who would of known.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] soad1789:
You guys are certainly entitled to your opinions, and I really don't disagree. I have egg on my face from the whole event. After all, it was my fumbling that screwed me over in the first place. However, I'm curious as to your feelings about Big Red itself. Like I said, this phone enticed me exactly for it's support by this community, and Verizon obviously realized that if they in turn locked the phone down with an update. What of that?

zetsumeikuro; this device will quickly be determined a Certified Like-New Replacement. I took pristine care of the phone, didn't screw around with the internals at all, and even kept the touchscreen under the manufacturer-issued screen protector the entire time I had the phone. If someone (due to their own bumbling) drops their phone in water, loses it, etc. They will end up with that phone and be very happy with it, unless they expected to luck out on a replacement and receive a pre-ME7 phone as well. I'm sorry, I can't say I see the harm in that, or how any other consumer suffers outright. I could've gotten a replacement within my 14 days for almost any reason. Yes-- I got out of a restocking fee and got a pre-update phone; what if I just paid $35 and got a Droid instead?

hexitnow, absolutely. I goofed up, that's for sure. I could attempt to excuse that by saying how I've been working 65-hour weeks and attempting to orchestrate a move into a new apartment lately, but I'm sure nobody really cares about that. Yes, I was negligent, having read up on the phone in early June thinking our upgrade was sooner than it actually was (and being treated oh-so-rudely by a CSR when we thought our upgrades were available back then), but ultimately it was me being stupid. I believe I learned a lesson here, and you rightly may resent me and people like me for our stupidity, but people make mistakes. This isn't my first or last one, either. Ultimately, it's just a phone update, I screwed nobody in doing what I did except arguably Verizon, who I managed to avoid paying yet another $35 to. I... I just don't feel that bad. I've felt wronged by them at every turn, and honestly I feel worse sticking with them as my carrier then I do taking advantage of my "Worry-free Guarantee" (assuming you don't worry about $35 fees).

Note that I am known to be a "whimsical douchebag", however.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zetsumeikuro:
Don't see the harm in falsifying issues with a non defective device? I'm sure Samsung and Verizon will beg to differ. Yeah your device will probably get turned into a CLNR but clearly someone will be taking a hit for the brand new device you got. I mean the whole issue here that you seem to not see is the utter lack of integrity/honesty on your part. You screwing with developer options to make it look like the phone is having intermittent software issues to some untrained CSR. What you did there just reeks of desperation of you not willing to accept a mistake you made. I'm not going to go into the whole Verizon/Sammy locking down the device debacle, as there is the developer edition of the device. I'm not trying to defend Verizon and their ways.. Simply put it I'm disgusted with the lengths/measure you took to get a replacement device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] soad1789:
As I said, you're entitled to your opinions. I could've swapped the phone for any reason, even if I just "didn't like it", as per Verizon's policy. Even if I paid$35 and swapped for an iPhone both Verizon and Samsung would've taken the same "hit". I just managed to avoid the restocking fee. But as you imply, I'm sure Verizon and Samsung will gather in a circle and weep.

They can take that $35 from the device upgrade fees they failed to mention in store. But I'm expected to maintain my full integrity.gotcha.

I did a restore of my One-X to stock rom according to this tutorial.

http://design-extreme.net/restore-ht...-to-stock-rom/

This all went well and without problems. The RUU I flashed is this one.

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed

When I now startup the phone it all works perfect. Then the phone says there is an OTA (to 3.20 I believe)

I download and install the OTA and the phone restarts, but after restarts the phone's touchscreen does not work anymore.

I solved this for now by installing the 3.14RUU again, then it works again. But of course I would like to be able to install the OTA's

To me it sounds like a driver problem in the new version that prevents the touchscreen from working. Anyone have idea how to solve this?

I tried different boot.img after the OTA update but none of them solved the problem. Somebody here who has a good idea?
