It's kind of a strange story and I'm guessing there's more to it than we've heard so far.

Cher Wang, HTC's largest shareholder and Chairman of the Board, filed the charges personally. That's pretty odd.

If $300K was misappropriated in May where were all HTC's checks-and-balances and why was it discovered only when key personnel left the company? Peter Chou is known to be a micro-manager and to have his hands in everything. It's pretty embassing (if true) that he and CFO could miss a $300K scam.

The people that left are heavy hitters; including their VP of Product and the designer who penned the One. Whatever comes from the charges HTC's loss of their design team is going to be an issue.

It's kind of funny to hear about HTC's secret sauce being so valuable that others would steal it or misappropriate it. HTC's sales and stock value have fallen like a rock over the past 24 months and they're projecting a loss for Q3. If Sense hasn't helped HTC what's so "valuable" about it that it's worth stealing? Especially when it would be pretty easy to reverse engineer it anyway.

I guess we'll find out more as the case advances.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
It's talking about Sense 6, you can't reverse engineer what hasn't been released, and the whole point would be to preempt HTC release. Time to market is pretty important.

Htc sensation robbed htc of one of the best android manufacturers. Htc desire lineup was good then Htc one X, S. were too great devices and now One is best. Htc now just need to push its marketing because many people dont know about it much like they know about samsung and of course they need to focus on great new products. Htc phone have generally higher price unlocked so they need to fight samsung on that front
[One (M7) General] Willieumm:
Very true but when you really think about the design team of the HTC One you're talking about HTC's most successful phone to date, both in sales and in critic and user praise. Sure, they didn't outsell the S4/iPhone 5 but look at how many months the HTC One has been #1 in the Official Phone Dog Smartphone Rankings, both by user and expert votes. I consider this a HUGE victory over both Apple and Samsung, especially on the user side, because it's what the average (non-XDA) users see on TV, magazines, ads, billboards, etc. And I believe also that those are the models which are heavily pushed by the salespersons in stores as well. So to think that it's sat at the top of the pack for the better part of the year is at the very least a major victory. And since the Sense design team has gone to a more minimalistic approach of the UI, they've also gained a great deal of praise for the overall software design. I think the most interesting and damaging things that happen here will be mostly behind the scenes and probably never even come to light for us to analyz. As a very long-time HTC fan and loyal user, I hope to see them continue the direction they had going with this, and not lose the momentum they had gained this year. Hopefully this will have very little negative effects overall because I really feel like they got it all right with the One, finally bringing together all the major components they got wrong on previous phones that had just as much potential, but failed in execution. I feel like HTC finally took note of what average users, power users (such as us) and critics/experts. But I guess only time will reveal what's in store for us. :cowboy:
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
Here’s the deal. Cher Wang and Peter Chou rule HTC with an iron fist. They are singularly responsible for all the decisions that have HTC where it is today. Where is it? Their stock is at an all-time low with 31 out of 33 analysts assigning it a “sell” rating which means they believe there’s little hope for a recovery. They’ve lost revenue, profit, and market share in every YOY quarter for the past 24 months. Because of their loss of sales they now have a scale problem. Producing as few devices as they are they pay more than their competitors for the same components and have lower priority access to scarce components. Their R&D, production costs, and support are distributed over a smaller product base which means their profit is hosed on that front too. Thinking outsiders might help, Cher and Peter brought in a bunch of Western talent. They all left with a bunch of very senior Asians that have been with HTC for years. Now they’ve lost their design team. So we’re back to Cher and Peter, the people responsible for getting HTC in to a mess, working alone to pull them out of it. As Einstein said, “insanity is repeating the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome.”

The One was their last hope and a chance to prove they could turn themselves around. It is without doubt HTC’s best effort to date but, despite critical acclaim, it has caused HTC to miss their own revenue targets in the last two quarters which means it’s selling below HTC’s own expectations. So with a “bread and butter” phone like the One being as good as it is and not helping HTC gain market share while both Sony and LG have what chance do niche phones like the Mini and Max that sell in far lower quantities have? Their finally approaching emerging markets after their competitors have been there for a year. Who will care? Their component prices prevent them from competing on price and other manufacturers have bigger brand appeal. And the low-cost Desires are no One in terms of design and features.

It was suggested above that product isn’t the issue causing HTC to continue their decline and it’s all based on marketing. Their on record saying that the campaign with RDJ is continuing at their current global marketing spend rate of $500M annually over the next two years. Motorola’s paying $500MM over 4 months just for the launch of the Moto X.

Analysts are betting that HTC will be acquired this year; probably by one of the Chinese brands that could leverage their engineering and production resources. That’s pretty much HTC’s future as even with RDJ, the Mini/Max, and a late push in to emerging markets their relevance, scale, and numbers have declined past the point of a self-driven comeback. With their stock so depressed (and possibly getting worse) HTC will never go away and the lower the stock price goes the more attactive an aquisition candidate they become.

The holiday selling season will be very telling as to the direction of HTC's future.

Well i wont be buying HTC again, if they are still around to make the next phone
[One (M7) General] blacklistedcard:
Yeah.... Reading all these stories. HTC One will be my last phone. Based on experience. HTC won't survive all these events. We seen it before.... Goodbye HTC...
[One (M7) General] ccpzcp:
one thing we have to admit that htc is pioneer for andoid and by far htc one is the best android handset till the date which had given tough competition to apple in the means of design and looks ya there are some faults with the handset but they can be rectified and only htc one is the single handset in its competitor range which gives you dual sim functionality but can say that htc is going through their tough time bad luck whatever one thing they need to concentrte is marketing coz they are lagging behind in worlds key market like china india where samsung is constantly take the pie through marketing coz samsung also dont innovate much we know that may be its s3 s4 note 1 or note 2 even note 3

i think the real competitor for htc is sony in terms of innovation they are really doing good even in marketing so well lets hope htc can get some good plans from their current position
[One (M7) General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's a good chart of HTC's performance. Compare the red boxes against each other. Comparing Q1 vs. Q2 of the same year isn't relevant as it doesn't account for seasonality and other variances in quarterly selling conditions. To add insult to injury, 31% more smartphones were sold YOY (225M vs. 154M) in Q2 2013 which means to maintain the same market share (hold their ground) HTC would have had to have sold 31% more devices than in 2012. As the chart shows they sold considerably less. Sony sold 9.5M devices in Q2 2013, a 29% YOY increase. That puts Sony only 200K devices behind ZTE (9.7M) who claimed the number 5 sales spot for the quarter (behind Samsung, Apple, LG, and Lenovo).

I might be asking too many questions here, but these all are actually banging my head as off now and just want to double sure the impact -

History -

Used to have stock rom (4.1.x)

Rooted and Flashed to CM 10.1 (4.2.2) [Have a nandroid backup of my rooted stock rom]

Now I want to go back to the rooted stock - Questions

#1 - Is it possible to go back to 4.1 from 4.2.x ?

#2 - Can the nandroid backup be used to do the flashing (means wipe CM and use the backup to restore to earlier state). if yes, pls give me the procedure to do that.

# If #2 not possible, what are my options ?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mukeshpacheria:
If you are using cm 10.1 means,, your base rom is 4.1

Flash with your sock rom 4.1 and make a backup

Flash wiith cm 10.1 and make a backup

You can restore both backups with your requirments but remember full wipe data and davik cache

Secondly You can't restore stock roms backups of 4.1 on 4.2 OR 4.2 on:good: 4.1( it gives us a bootloap)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] neawasthi:
Thx for reply... What do u mean when u say my base rom is 4.1..i see in phone settings and it shows 4.2.2

I dont have the stock rom just the nandroid backup.. Will it give different results ?

Any place whr i can get the stock rom ?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] muntinlupa:
Get any stock 4.1.2 rom from sammobile.com then flash using odin. Then flash CWM. After that you will be able to restore your nandroid backup.

You cannot restore your nandroid 4.1.2 backup if you are on 4.2.2
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mukeshpacheria:
exactly what i want to say:p
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] neawasthi:
I see what you are tellin me.. One more question - can i flash any other 4.2.x based rom (gennext rom) to replace cm 10.1 ?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] neawasthi:
Went the other way around - Installed the 4.2.2 stock removing the CM 10.1.

If you are like me and can not get fastboot or recovery, you can only get into APX mode. If you want to get your device back running there is a way. There are two items you will need.

#1 a case opening tool

#2 a TF201 motherboard

First you should search around to purchase

Asus Transformer Prime TF201 Tablet Motherboard 0K0AMBA000 69NAZAM19B05 <-- that is the motherboard

Then purchase a case opening tool and watch the videos on opening the prime, it is not that hard and takes less than 5min easy.

Then swap out your old board for the one you purchased and power it up.

I did this to mine I was backup in less than 30min.

Just watch lots of videos so you are familiar with the inner parts of the 201.

I hope this helps some of you, hit me up with any questions....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diggzzy:
Like you I also hard bricked my prime. I have taken the leap and purchased a replacement board, just wondering if it was as simple as replacing the board and booting up and you are then back to where you left off, ROM/setting wise. Or was a re flash of some sort required??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
Good question and I was worried about that as well. I bought my MB from a ebay seller that had a bunch and said tested. What I was told is the OS is already installed on the board, so I felt less worried that this will turn out to be a big job.

I cracked the case open.

Removed the ribbon cables that go to the display.

Removed the battery

Removed the MB

Re installed in reverse order and powered it up before closing case.

I will make a recommendation to anyone selling their units with bad screen/digitizer. Do whatever you have to to wipe the device or change all your passwords. The unit I got powered up with ICS and had the pas owners pic and files on it. It even had a the lock screen pattern enabled. I did one quick swipe and it opened I was surprised he made it so simple?

I looked around to see if there was any files I thought he might need and I was going to email him a copy, since I had all his login info for his gmail. There was nothing, just lots of porn so I wiped it.

So in a quick answer it's just a swap and power up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diggzzy:
I lol'ed hard "There was nothing, just lots of porn so I wiped it."

Thanks for the info, i'll post with how I get on, once the new board arrives.. I'm waiting with baited breath!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
LOL, my wife was so freaked that the person sold his prime without wiping the data. I tried to explain to her that his digitizer/screen was bad so there was no easy way to do that.

I just could not believe I got the pattern code on the first try.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barto93:
hi, thanks for the post but do you know where i can buy the motherboard? (can't find one)

also i can't access the APX mode is it a problem ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] diggzzy:
Your best bet is to search ebay / amazon.. Motherboards are pretty hard to find as there are not a lot around. It took me a couple of days of consistently searching ebay to find one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
If you can't get into APX you might have other issues. MB are out there, not saying you will find tons nor everyday.

so ive been searching for help with this with no luck so hopefully one of you guys can help. I rooted my s3 no problem with odin 1.85. I have rom downloader on my phone and when I flashed a new rom I got stuck at the yellow triangle screen and also says secureboot is also enabled. how can I fix this to download the triangle away app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shootermcgavin88:
any help would be appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
you didn't unlocked the bootloader. FYI triangle away requires an unlocked bootloader as the flash counter is part of the bootloader so triangle away can't do anything to help you. Next time complete ALL steps in any root method and actually read more about an app before assuming it will help you. Lastly I recommend using the latest version of Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shootermcgavin88:
I figured out the hard way the bootloader wasn't unlocked lol and im not an expert on rooting obviously but im not a noob as well this isn't my first time rooting lol so I do understand triangle away wasn't going to work. my question is how do I fix this issue? the only thing that happens when I power on is I get the yellow triangle and that's it. I can go into recovery mode but that's it. is it as simple as downloading an .exe file or what? and thank you for the response:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
unfortunately you will have to do the root process all over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rgrossie:
You need to boot to download mode. Hold the volume down, menu, and power key (with the phone off). After the first icon comes on release the power key (I can't remember, but I think that's right). Then Odin back to stock, root, unlock the bootloader, etc...

ok.. looks like thats plan b.. i format the sdcard to 4ext.. then install rom?
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
No, that's not what I meant. 4ext is a recovery.

Basically, just download the 4ext app, or use hasoon2000's toolkit to flash 4ext.

http://4ext.net/

Let it install 4ext on your amaze if you have a ROM and rooted on it.

Once you can boot into 4ext recovery, go to options (or tools, don't quite remember), and turn on SMARTFLASH.

Then you can format your internal SD (BACKUP YOUR DATA ON YOUR PC FIRST!!!).

ROMS should flash now since Smartflash is a workaround for S-ON users who want to flash custom Roms.

Hope you guys like it and if you have any color requests or certain images you want for background please let me know and I will do what I can to make as many options and as many people happy as possible.

I have tested this myself and will always test everything before I post anything but I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your phone always NAND backup before you do anything to your phone. I have only tested these on Deodexed Roms. I don't think they will work on Odexed Roms with that said here is a screenshot and enjoy.
