[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almyz125:
Hi all, today I ordered a new play edition HTC one. After doing some reading that I should have done before I bought It i realized it does not support the 2100mhz band used by t-mobile. I am a tmobile customer. What does this mean for me? 2g speeds? Might I hit a 1900mhz band? Is this something to do with the hardware, radio, or rom? If this is a software thing does the t-mobile rom work on a play edition device? Will this allow me to have 4g?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim489:
The Google play edition doesn't support aws so you won't get hspa unless you're in a refarmed area. So yeah it'll be 2g, or you could return it and get a T-Mobile HTC one and convert it. It's the hardware nothing in the Rom or radio will change it. If you live in a refarmed area though you should be fine.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almyz125:
Thanks, I think I'll stick with it either way. I was looking at tmobile's map and they don't specify 1900 or 2100 :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almyz125:
I found this http://www.airportal.de I live in the Albany NY area looks like some people are reporting 1900mhz here :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] camel:
Well i think its true. why? read on!

I bought my XDA II a few weeks ago. Its a love & hate machine & i won't get into that. But i think i have damaged the speaker .. as in i can notice sound getting distorted at times. It probably happened when i played this audio file at full volume .. which was actually for less than 2 seconds!! Ever since then, i can tell how the sound from the speaker comes out distorted. Same exact thing happened with my brother, where he played some song at full volume & it apperntly blew his speaker. I've soft reseted the machine multiple times (who doesn't!) ever since but no hard reset yet.

Although my question is .. is it really _that_ easy to blow the speaker?! The device should either have a speaker that can handle the amplification it is being providing, or not amplify the sound to levels the speaker can't handle. Blowing your speaker away on the first attempt to play something loud seems awfully lousy to me from a machine's design point of view.

Has anyone else experienced such problem or know of some remedy? I don't want to open the machine up & get the speaker repaired. Would really appreciate any help on the matter.

Thank you all.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] twichibi:
Hi m8. Don't know if you've tried this but I had a problem a while ago where I could not hear any sound at all. I could make a phone call and ther person on the other end could hear me fine but I could not hear anything. I found the way to make it work again would be to squeeze the thing at the top near the earpiece (as if it was a loose connection).

Like I said, don't know if you've tried this but it worked for me. Have you got warranty?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] 95scort:
Hey Camel, i have had my sx56(wallaby) all the way apart, and the only thing attatching the mainboard to the speaker are two little spring-loaded contacts, perhaps try tightening the screws on the back of your device (if it's anything like mine), this should make the connection between your speaker and mainboard more secure.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] awojtas:
speaker

hey mate,

yep same thing with mine. now anything above about 50% in a phone call and it's all distorted.

pretty annoying, i've just got to get around to opening it up and checking the speaker contacts/replacing speaker with a spare.

will post results.

s-off should let you ruu any image
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
The Software Version - 1.29.651.10 refers to the software version of the rom you are running if you were to flash a rom based on 1.31.651.2 your software version in settings would reflect that.

Since you are s-on your phone most likely came with 1.31.651.2 why are you trying to go backwards? If you just want to go back to stock there is a stock 1.31.651.2 rom(rooted and unrooted) in Indirects thread.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Techno Droid:
BC I need to send it back to sprint and plus in want to learn the process so I know exactly what im doing. Is there and ruu for the version my boot loader reflects?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
There is not an RUU for 1.31.651.2 :(

I would suggest unlocking again

flash twrp 2.5.0.0

flash the Stock(no root) 1.31 rom in Indirect's thread

then relock again(your bootloader will say RE-LOCKED not LOCKED)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Techno Droid:
I kinda figured that I just had a brain fart about it. But when I flash a stock rom and relock bootloader it won't boot up I just keep booting into the bootloader. So if in was on an earlier version of 1.29.651.10 I would be able to relock and be stock, right?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Did you check the MD5 on the stock rom you were trying to flash maybe it was a bad download?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Techno Droid:
In was on it running and all. Then I proceeded and relocked. Or did I do something wrong here?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dancesWitShoes:
Same Issue As Techno Droid - ! SOS ! - 7 day old brick

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can assist me here, its been a week now without my phone due to my botched attempts to flash a custom rom. I have the exact same situation as TechnoDroid's initial post, and same exact fails. I tried Techno Droids fix, but am getting the following error from this command:

fastboot oem reboot RUU

...

(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.001s]

finished. total time: 0.003s.

I've flashed the 1.31 stock ROM from Indirect's thread, and re-locked the bootloader, but I always get an OS that has no apps and begins a system boot loop after a few minutes.

Also, if I can find a compatible nandroid backup and flash it through TWRP would that be a possible fix?

Any help is greatly appreciated, I'll be looking into purchasing a backup phone from my MVNA, but would really like to unbrick this one since I paid full boat for an unlocked version!

- cheers

Yes, the stock rooted rom will work just fine on the AT&T M7. I'm using it right now. And radio flashing is optional; I was using the original AT&T radio on 4.2.2 with no problems and fully working LTE.

Hi guys,

I just ordered an HTC One GPE today, and plan to unlock it and root it when I get it. Is this the correct forum for the GPE? I'm sort of confused on where to go for ROMs, recoveries, and the like. I know it's based off the AT&T HTC One, since it has that model's radios, but obviously, it's not the HTC One with Sense. Am I in the correct area?

Thanks!

Apologies for posting again, but I have one more question: when I get the GPE One out of the box, will it have the same bootloader as Nexus devices? So I won't have to S-OFF or change the CID?

Hey guys for some odd reason my phone's display just completely took a dump. Go to power it up and it flashes some kind of weird color screen once it boots up, then i see no boot screen and every time i press the power button it flashes this weird color just like the one from the initial boot up.

Any advice would be appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] indigoataxia:
I used DashClock for a lockscreen widget and it has to be expanded everytime I want to use it. Is there anyway in a rooted Vanilla 4.2 to do this? I have read that the nexus 7 has this by default so there must be a way. Whatever code it has to do this I assume can be ported to my G'Nex running same OS.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShALLaX:
So, rather than just being a "HOW I ROOT?" thread, I'm going to use this to post everything I manage to glean whilst attempting to get a custom kernel to boot. So, here goes:

Fastboot mode

Used to flash images and hot boot. Accessed by holding the volume-up rocker and plugging in the USB cable. The device must be fully powered off before entering this mode.

Flash mode

Used to flash official updates and use by Flashtool to flash "ftf" files. Accessed by holding the volume-down rocker and plugging in the USB cable. The device must be fully powered off before entering this mode.

Hard shutdown

Used when you just need to get the device turned off quickly or if you flash a bad image that causes the device to hang. Activated by holding the volume-up rocker and power switch for three seconds.

Kernel cmdline

The cmdline for the stock kernel appears to be "androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 maxcpus=2 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F ehci-hcd.park=3 lpj=192598 dwc3.maximum_speed=high dwc3_msm.prop_chg_detect=Y". I extracted this from the stock kernel.sin found in the HK 471 ROM via the use of a hex editor.

Kernel.sin

1) The kernel zImage.

2) The initrd (ram disk), which is a standard gzipped cpio.

3) A mysterious third file, which simply extracts with a ".3" extension, presumably because the unpacker doesn't know what to make of it. Perhaps this is the DTB (see below in the "Hot booting" section).

Hot booting

Attempting to hot boot a kernel results in the following:

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.284s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.332s

A little investigation shows that a "dtb" probably refers to a "device tree blob," which is used to tell the kernel about the hardware within the device (since every ARM device has different addresses for the various hardware components). Perhaps the use of a dtb is new for the Xperia Z Ultra?

Making boot images

Making boot.img files and flashing them has so far yielded nothing more than a black screen when trying to boot; the device outwardly appears to be bricked, however, it is not. The only way out of this state is to hold the power button and volume-up rocker for about 3 seconds. After this, the vibration motor pulses three times and you're free to enter fastboot or flash modes again.

This failure isn't too surprising given that the hot boot attempt indicates that a dtb was not found. It is my assumption that we somehow need to put the dtb in the boot image.

Root exploits

The device seems to be patched for all known root exploits as of the time of writing this post. I've adapted DooMLoRD's root kit to attempt the relevant exploits to no avail. I've also checked the kernel source and found that at least the perf_event exploit has been patched.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShALLaX:
Building a kernel.sin file and then making it into an "ftf" results in the loader.sin flashing fine, but the "Check header" stage of the kernel.sin fails. I'm not sure if this is because the loader.sin is making sure the kernel.sin is correctly signed or if it's because the header is actually incorrect.

There's not much information for me to go on at the moment.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShALLaX:
So, it looks like the SIN may not work because the only "bin2sin" files I can find create SINv1 files, but the stock files are SINv3. The header appears to be different.

I stumbled upon some PDFs (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30243940) that explains the SIN file format, but it's very brief. Even this appeared only to be for SINv2.

Does anyone know if SINv3 is new for the Xperia Z Ultra? Does anyone have a tool to create these, or at least the file format specs?

I'm using the Chinese keyboard in English on my Xperia Z Ultra 6802. I can make it left hand, right hand or full side to side in portrait. In landscape it fills the screen side to side. The information you have quoted is inaccurate. It has one hand support. I have also used Swiftkey tablet with the split keyboard in landscape. The Chinese keyboard has other options such as handwriting recognition, phone pad for text input everywhere, English, etc.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avsquare:
That's interesting, I didn't know cos I'm using other keyboards that allows me to quickly switch between various languages.

Was this immediately available prior to the .471 firmware update?

The above article was based on their hands-on experience back in June when they were invited by Sony though (The review site also claims that small apps wasn't available at point of review too). I'm thinking it could have already been updated because this website hardly goes wrong (and if they do, it's usually corrected quite fast). :confused:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sebring5:
Why don't you make the Chinese keyboard your default input for a few minutes and take it out for test drive? It has been there since I got the phone. I have updated the firmware twice since it arrived.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avsquare:
Just had a look at it again, correct me if I'm wrong but it only supports Chinese and English?

I need a keyboard the quickly allows me to alternate between English, Chinese and Japanese and with dictionary support. So far I think only Smart Keyboard Pro supports (bought both Swiftkey and Swipe, each of them is missing out something).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sebring5:
The Sony Xperia Z Ultra has a Japanese keyboard as well as the Chinese keyboard. The Chinese keyboard changes from English to Chinese and vice versa by pressing the En or Cn key. You can change keyboards quickly in status bar if you mark input selector in settings so input selector shows up there. All the keyboards have dictionary support.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avsquare:
Yes I'm aware, but it's quite a hassle to keep changing via status bar. My conversation involves changing between the 3 languages and at times in a single conversation/mail I need to use 2 or all the language together, so I'm not fond of constant switching via status bar. Smart Keyboard Pro has a language switching key that allows me to instantly alternate between the 3 languages :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Andrewtst:
For the moment, you only can use small keyboard by selecting Xperia Chinese keyboard.

The International keyboard not support small keyboard yet.

Xperia Chinese keyboard - supporting English input as well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] apel69:
It looks like I got myself in a pickle. I have a GS4 running 4.2.2. I picked up my phone today and successfully rooted it with instructions from DroidView using files from chainfire. I then installed CWM recovery with ROM Manager and backed up my ROM with it. I decided to replace chainfires SU with the one fom CWM like I had on my S3. After rebooting from recovery mode I noticed I had lost root so I used the same method to root it again because I thought it had reset itself. Before the reboot occurred there was option to prevent the possibility of the ROM flashing itself to stock. I went to select the Yes option but bumped the power button which selected No. While trying to reroot and failing, the phone displayed the message "Invalid percent of drawing download progress bar." On reboot the error “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue“ along with a cone and a couple of other pics. I have tried to get into recovery mode several times but repeatedly get this error. I can get into download mode and have tried to flash the stock ROM for this phone but it fails in Odin 3.0.7. Odin sees my phone and verifies the md5 but fails very quickly upon clicking start. I tried this with KiesPDLR running in the background and disabled. I have not tried anything else out of concern for messing it up further. Attached are screenshots and log from ODIN along with the text that is being displayed in download mode. (I will have to post these later as the attachments option will not work properly on my wife's S3).

Two other notes. 1) I used ODIN 1.85 to root as that was what was included in the chainfire download. But I used ODIN 3.0.7 to try and unroot because that's what the DroidView directions said. Would it make any difference to use ODIN 1.85 to try and flash the stock firmware? It sees my phone as well but the F. Reset Time option is unchecked and grayed out and the directions says it needs to be checked. Don't know if that really makes a difference. 2) My phone is actually with US cellular but there is not a forum for this carrier. I chose this forum because my previous phone the Mesmerize had an identical model number as the Fascinate. Please do not pass over my request for help because of this as I am in dire need.
