That was me today walking out of the VZW store.

I had placed an order online yesterday for contract free full retail price on HTC One and I got the email/SMS confirmation that my order was ready for pickup. I went to the store for pickup and they had my order in the system. But when they tried to process the order, they came back to me saying they can't sell the device at retail/no contract price as it is their "iconic" device. Not sure what they meant by that. I called customer service and they were also surprised by that. They said it could be because of limited inventory in stores. They were ready to take that order over the phone!! So at the end I returned empty handed. I tried to go to a Best Buy store, but they did not have the device in stock and were retailing $100 more than Verizon store. Also they weren't sure if they will do the price match as it is a "new" device.

I've had good experience at the same VZW store, not sure where Verizon is going with this approach and disappointing existing customers?! I will now onwards also avoid stepping in the physical store.

I never go to the vzw store. Most people on xda know more about these phones than those dudes that work in the stores.

Do all my business with them (vzw) on the phone.

I bought mine off contract online and opted for in store pickup at the local corporate store. No issues! Was the first one there to walk in, only thing that took a while was convincing the rep that I don't want to buy any accessories. Managed to walk out with just the phone after constant hounding when I can just go onto Amazon and buy things for much cheaper.

Also it took a while to activate, like 5 minutes but smooth sailing from there! Unlocked and rooted day 1!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TheMavic:
Did they walk out with an entire tuppaware case full of accessories like they did with me? Lol. I actually did get the Incipio case for it, only because I had a leftover gift card. She insisted on telling me how each thing would make my life so much better though, despite me saying I'll be good.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] overlord727:
That is EXACTLY what they did!!! Lmao.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coolbluedab:
I agree with you both being kicked out. I stopped reading after you both got into a fight in the store. However, I would have called the police sooner and let them deal with you two children. You threatened the kid.. he just badmouthed you. You deserved to be kicked out. Permanently. Forget Verizon... EVERY store will do the same to people fighting inside. and you WERE the instigator, even in your own story.

If you don't want to be sold something, don't go in the store and just order the phone alone online. Problem solved.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TheMavic:
"That guy" showed up. I actually traded in an old phone and paid with a few sources, so online really wasn't an option.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] TonyStark R.I.P.:
While this thread is asking a simple question "Who's picking one up on release day?" comments have been all over. This is OT, which means, start a subject thread while in OT and at the very least, stick with the topic... or create a new thread.

Thank you.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Those of us who have root now, paid the extra money at the store, I think that unlock/and/or S-OFF will come soon, and I almost wish that I bought online to save the money and give it to the guys who crack open this phone for us. I still can't believe how fast VZW had HTC shut down HTC-Dev unlock. I've seen them do it fast, but that was record timing, AFAIK

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanzoo:
hello everybody!

i have encountered a very wierd issue with my p3110. frequently, from the very moment i bought it as fas as i can remember (that was android 4.0.1 or something) it makes an unpleasant clicking sound in one of the channels in a couple of seconds after music or a game or a movie has been stopped.

in the headphones and its own speakers, in 1 channel at a time. no matter what the software player or game is, or the specs of the headphones as well. have changed 3 android versions - same thing happens. sometimes more sometimes less often, sometimes doesnt happen at all for a while - then click in one of the ears. even the volume or a kind of music have no influence on that. i have noticed calm new age music produces even more clicking.

as u can understand the guarantee is void and moreover the service center people will try to ignore the problem even if i restore the tablets initial condition.

so what can that be and can there be any software solution to the clicking? i have never had any problems with samsung products before...

Had a Toshiba Thrive that did something like that. Had to close apps still running in the background to stop it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanzoo:
i think u may be right. after i limit running processes to say 3 clicks become less frequent or may be it just seems so. now im thinking of removing custom firmware, cmw, root, etc and returning the device to the service center cuz i pause the music more than i actually listen to it. then there might be problems with the stupid service center staff.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] andyistic:
I've seen instructions for installing custom ROM's where you bring up the ROM file inside Odin (PDA area),

then you place the cell in Download mode, then you hit the [Start] button.

Instead of doing this, why can't you place the ROM files onto the SD card, then use Recovery mode to install them from there?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] js5752:
I only used Odin to root my device. After setting up a custom recovery, I've downloaded all my ROMs to the SD card and flashed them from there. Since you're (hopefully making and) putting your nandroid backup on the SD card, it makes it very easy to recover from an accident.

The method I used was from a Youtube video where the guy used Odin to root, and then GooManager to install TWRP. I've got a custom ROM on my phone and haven't looked back. :)

Good luck and have fun,

-Jeff
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] scott_0:
you need a custom recovery, I prefer TWRP, as stated above you can get it through goomanager which is available from the play store. after installing the recovery you can download any rom you want to your pc, transfer it to your phone (either phone storage or external SD) after that go into recovery mode on the phone (hold volume UP home button and power button down at the same time, when you see the Samsung logo, let off all buttons) at this point you can find the rom you transferred, and flash, before flashing anything you will want to do a nandroid backup, then do a full wipe before flashing the rom. after the rom is installed you can go into recovery through the power menu. good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] andyistic:
water wsloriz

So a couple of questions then:

1: You cannot install a ROM using stock recovery?

2: What's included in an nandroid backup?

I'm assuming it includes the modem/radio files, yes?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] scott_0:
1. no, you will need either TWRP ot CWM

2. backs up all your data, etc, so yes everything gets backed up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maxpower7:
You use Odin to flash .tar files, which reverts your phone back to stock, unrooted factory condition.

Once you've rooted the phone, you use a custom recovery to install unsigned .zip files, which will generally be custom roms and/or mods.

Stock recovery will only install .zip files that are signed by the manufacturer, such as OTA updates and....not much else. If your phone is rooted, you have absolutely no use for stock recovery.

A Nandroid backup will usually include the boot image, system files, and user apps & data. I use TWRP, which also gives you the option to back up your recovery and EFS partition (telephony data). In most cases, you only need to make a backup of boot, system, and data.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Can anyone give me some information about openning the USB port as device and communicate to the USB master?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rudegar:
without being 100% then i would guess thats that one of the things which devide masters and peripherals that peripherals cant init the connection and can only listen for an connection request from masters

Yes. I just want it to be a slave device.

I am trying to open it as com port (0?). I believe that I need to stop ActiveSync to gain the access.

I wonder how much USB control I can have using it as com port.

Am I on the right track?

is it GE specific issue that you may only use the sounds that come with the ROM, or is it part of the Revolution ROM feature set.

Hi guys, I'm new to this, and im a complete NOOB, so please bear with me. I have a tmobile xperia z running 4.1.2 and I just rooted and installed custom recovery (twrp via app) and when I go to the recovery sometimes the touch screen doesn't work. Anyways, I flashed a lock screen mod and it worked fine. But then I flashed 3 other mods and when i pressed on reboot the phone boot looped. I've heard I'm supposed to use flashtool. Sorry I have no idea how to do that please give me easy to understand step by step instructions. Thank you so much and once again sorry for my ignorance.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Search for the applicable stock rom for your device in the general section, then follow this guide to flash it - How to flash stock roms with Flashtool
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donottouch:
My last post will be on xda...

The best way is to use your already installed pc companion and chose repair

You can do that by starting pc companion and attach your phone in flashmode (Press vol down and power for 15 sec until vibrates 3 times thats means is OFF) press vol down and plug in the usb cord. if your battery is flat, charge it by charging dock, or wall charger wait few hours (without sw the charging controlled by hw and slow).

It will work but you'll lose all your contents.

Or if you can get into recovery just look for another rom with same version number and replace the files manually to do that use aroma file manager

1, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646108

download copy it onto your sd card (should be a zip)

2, unpack the modded files from another rom / than boot recovery

2,1 make a note where the apk each of the files should go example:. system / app/ or system / framework

2, 2 mount all partitions

2, 3 to be sure what files you need check the contents of the mods you used check what files they modding...example framework.apk in system/framework folder

2,2 than chose install zip / chose aroma.zip / flash

3, you got a file manager so you can navigate in your device

3,1 select the apk copy where is supposed to be change permission rwx r r

hope is helps
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abanoubhenry:
Thank you but It's been on preparing computer for software update for about half an hour so far. Is it supposed to take that long?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
With all respect to others opinions, flashtool is the best way to go, because -

1. You will not lose your data like a repair.

2. No need to mess about copying files over and changing permissions manually etc. (Why this was suggested, I'm not sure).

Next time you install any mods, you should backup your system via the custom recovery before flashing and this sort of thing will be avoided. :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abanoubhenry:
What custom recovery should I use and can you link a tutorial on how to install it. Because all I did was install the app doomlord posted and it was called xzrecovery. But as I said the touch screen wouldnt work.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
First of all, you need to use flashtool to get your phone working again.

This recovery is the most recommended around here - [TOOL/UTILITY][LOCKED BOOTLOADER][ TWRP 2.6.0.0][CWM 6.0.3.3] XZDualRecovery

The sandisk cards that I've been using for years tend to disagree with you.

I've only had one that was a problem child and it came from Komputerbay as a fake.

There are about a dozen threads discussing microSD cards and this very topic, and most of the threads cover solutions including reformating the card to fix the issue.
[HTC One S] tomk11:
I have posted in the emergency thread but haven't got much out of it, sorry about the double post but I think this deserves its own thread.

When I plug my one S into the computer I see FASTBOOT AC. This should say FASTBOOT USB. The two devices wont recognise each others presence and the one s thinks the computer is a wall supply... fastboot devices returns no message at all. However in twrp 2.4.1.0 the devices communicate fine.

I tried to update cyanogenmod and got stuck in a bootloop because I can't flash the boot.img. I have tried reverting back to the old rom but to no avail.

Here are some of the things i have tried. If you can think of a way to achieve the same goal please let me know:

1) ensured drivers are up to date by installing and uninstalling the htc sync manager

2) someone pointed me in the way of s-off. apparently this would negate the need to manually flash a boot.img. However I need to use fastboot to do this so looked no further.

3) I have seen that TWRP doesnt require you to flash a boot.img if you are using version 1.3 or below (or something like that). However to alter the recovery i need guess what... fastboot

4) I saw a page on stack exchage titled 'Flash boot.img without using fastboot USB' which looks promising but i am not entirely confident with what I am doing and am scared I will make the situation worse. I can't work out exactly what it wants me to do. I would link except xda wont let me as I am a new user.

This is what my bootloader looks like on the fastboot screen

[HTC One S] tomk11:
I have found a solution with some guidance from this thread

TWRP has a terminal emulator within it.

I first placed the boot.img in the sdcard and opened a terminal emulator here. I then had to find out what block the boot.img lives in

cat /proc/emmc

I found that the answer was /dev/block/mmcblk0p21

Then it was just a case of using dd

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

The phone booted fine and it seems to have done the trick, fingers crossed!
[HTC One S] tivofool:
pretty amazing, you were able to flash a boot.img from recovery while being s-on.
