[Sprint HTC One (M7)] asj2583:
As the title says, I need to hard brick this HTC One. I offer rooting, repairing and factory unlocking as a part time job and had this customer bring me this phone which he tried rooting himself and now regardless what rom is flashed the phone just reboots and doesn't pickup a cellular connection. I tried to reflash it myself and even tried to flash the ruu but gave up after so many fails and due to the phone just rebooting can't s-off so now the customer wants me to hard brick his phone so that when it boots up it doesn't show the prompt on the splash screen the phone been tampered with so he can just pay the insurance deductible and get a new one. Not sure how to go about Hard bricking since I never hard bricked a HTC device before only a Samsung device. Any help would be appreciated on how to hard brick it or fix it if possible.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bstevens23:
I think you could probably try flashing something from a different phone. I hear that screws things up nice and good.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
that would be fraudulent first of all

secondly I assume you are still able to get into recovery if so then the device should be fine

verify that the rom that your customer downloaded was not downloaded from the international htc one, verify if the download was not corrupted.

post what steps you have followed trying to ruu, really this forum is all about helping but at the same time everyone should be aware of the dangers but most of all own up to their own actions if they end up with a brick.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] asj2583:
When the customer brought me the phone he had installed ViperOne for the Sprint version which what this phone is, what he had installed before that i wouldnt know. What I have tried is flashed the stock firmware thru twrp and cwm and being that its s-on i have to flash the boot image thru fastboot but still reboots and no cellular service. i reflashed the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader and attempted to flash the ruu zip thru the fastboot oem rebootruu and fastboot flash zip rom.zip command and i get a error. I tried to get s-off so that i flash the ruu this way but due to the phone rebooting every few seconds it won't allow Moonshine s-off to finish which ends up giving me a error due to the phone rebooting. So what else can i do to fix this phone or hard brick to where it wont even bootup so an insuarnce claim can be done.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
Since it is mentioned that the phone does not get celluar connection, I am assuming that the phone still boots. So when does it actually start rebooting itself?

There are two kernels in the ViperOne thread

- Flashable Kernel Only Zip 1.29.651.10 (LATEST)

- Flashable Kernel Only Zip 1.29.651.7

You do not need to go into fastboot to flash the kernel, unlike previous HTC phones unlocked bootloader on the HTC One allows for kernel/bootimage to be flash from recovery.

I'm just a bit puzzled as to how far the phone boots up too before it reset?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Have you tried a ##786# in dialer and then menu / reset?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] asj2583:
After factory reset it will alow you to go thru the setup and then ill get a black screen with just the notification visible and after about 5 minutes the phone will reboot after that it will boot on that same black screen with the notification visible and then after about 2 minutes the phone will reboot and keep doing that until i boot into the bootloader and select power off. does the same regardless if it stock based or aosp based doesn't matter.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] asj2583:
Cant since i cant get access to the dialer since it never loads.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Is it 1.31 if so have you tried this method to flash the RUU? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44243635

It sounds like your customer flashed a non Sprint Rom prior to flashing ViperRom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] weidnerj:
Why not just take it to the Sprint store? Sounds like the phone itself is defective. There was an article on here that Sprint stores frown on root, but they run the RUU and take it back to stock and if it still acts up replaces it. The phone is less than 6 months old, and unless it is beat to heck should be under warrantee services from Sprint.

Plus that would save $150 in deductibles if the phone is defective.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Sounds to me like they flashed a GSM Rom before flashing a CDMA one.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] asj2583:
Yes it's 1.31 and I rooted this phone on this firmware without issues so not sure what the hell the dude did. I haven't tried this and will try it out but I found out that he doesn't have insurance with Sprint but with Best Buy so not sure how that will work as another customer of mine told me he's taken phones for exchange and the Best Buy rep don't even look at the phone and just issue out a replacement so he's going to try this. But i'll keep your link bookmarked just in case I come across this again. Thanks to everyone that helped.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Based on that info this method will fix the phone unless it is in fact a hardware issue, which I highly doubt.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] weidnerj:
My thought (having always bought my phones at Sprint) is that Sprint stores have service support personal at some of their stores that also can do basic repair services. Even if the phone was bought at Best Buy, the service provider is still Sprint and they should be able to run "tests" on the phone.

HTC One should also have a one year warrantee, and since the phone only has been 6 months old, should be covered unless abused.

So shouldn't hurt to take it to the Sprint store. Sprint is all about customer service. Worth the chance to get it fixed or replaced verses having to pay for insurance, etc. But you don't know until you try and worse they can do is tell you no...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] val1607:
hi I got a samsung galaxy note n7000 last week on ebay. The seller wrote in his advertisement, that the camera doesn't work, so I knew what I was buying. Every time I open the camera app (or any other apps that use the camera; front and back) the app freezes, the screen is black (apart from the camera functions and the viewfinder) and then tells me "camera failed" and closes. I have tried to go into app settings to force the app to close and clear cache but nothing. I also flashed several different stock roms (from gingerbread to jellybean with factory reset and clear cache in the hidden android menu before phone start). But no luck either. I even bought a new rear camera and installed it, in hope it would solve the problem (which it didn't) but it must be software related, as the front camera doesn't work either.

Any idea guys as to what I can do to get the camera working again? Phone is updated with the latest software and so are all the apps. I checked with memory card and without and formatted memory card and phone...PLEASE HELP :'(

Thank you in advance for your help.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] veletron:
Hi

I bought an LTE N5210 note 8 from HK via a company called Panamoz. Unfortunately, it is not getting updates beyond 4.1.3, and I know that 4.2.2 is available for it. Does anyone know how to reset the CSC such as it reports that its a UK note, or indeed, can I flash the UK Firmware?

Not really interested in root cause it stops a couple of banking apps I use working, but I guess I can root, flash then unroot?

Anyone else had any experience of the HK note, I dont really want to brick my device.

I can confirm that it works fine with LTE from EE - something else that I am reading might break if I update it to the UK firmware.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo.net:
Hi everyone,

I would like to share a problem that I encounter on my Galaxy S2.

In fact, it happened to me several times that my phone hangs when writing a text message.

And in this case nothing works. I began to write my message and the phone becomes unresponsive, it is super slow.

The only solution for the phone to work again is to remove the battery and put it back.

The extra weird thing is that the battery loses more than half its percentage.

For example, tonight I was still at 26% and after this problem there were only 13%.

Do you have any idea where this could come anomaly?

Thank you in advance

So nearly the hole phone was replaced. I guess you bricked it then. I'd still say try new battery first as its struggling with power. Maybe why you have sim lock is new mb is locked. Get gs2 sim unlock from play for that. Was them replacement's under warranty? ?

Great job on the input mate but neat lsw and cm10.2 cannot be compered in any way. Cm is still in early stages with 4.3 and neat is stock based 4.1.2. As for siyah its better than stock kernel on cm.as above it cannot be compared. The drop in power on restart is the big problem. Iv bin on neat with siyah and runs lovely.

I did a test with another battery and I encountered the same problem.

Here's what I did.

I had completely reinstalled the original rom, install applications, set up the kernel and modify the secmms.apk a non odex.

So I put the original application sms and I'll see if it changes anything.

I did not quite understand in what direction I should make a backup ...

Usually I use SMS backup+ and Titanium, the rest is stored on google account.

Meanwhile I reinstalled the official ROM again without making specific changes, and I've realized that in the configuration, I changed the energy saving by clicking "CPU Power Saving"

Does this parameter can have an impact on the siyah kernel and modifying apk MMS?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
An efs bkup is a must mate. Use ktool free of playstore to bk it up. If you loose you're imei you wont be able to make calls or use data. Also you can you philz recovery to do an efs bk up in custom nandroid. Untick everything except efs and bkup. Best bet is to have a few bk ups of this also have a couple of the phone. In pc and sd card. As for power save. Dont use it not worth it. No problem but siyah kernel is enough i think but up to user really.

Hi guys, I bought the s4 variant (i337m), i want to flash a rom of the i9505/i337m, but i want to keep the modem. I would like to extract the modem of my phone and convert that in a file that i can flash with odin or twrp/cwm.

Or maybe, remove the base band from the .zip (CWM) of the rom and then flash without the modem of the rom to keep my baseband.

PD. I'm from mexico, my carrier is telcel and the baseband i337MUMAMB2.

What can i do?

How I can go back to the factory version with otas from my carrier?

I'm not bothered if its as far back as Gingerbread, I am fed up with sluggish performance. I've tried Venom, CM10 based ROMS and they are all the same, do more than one thing at a time and the phone struggles, for example I installed Venom last night, it was auto installing apps, I tried to check emails and the phone became unresponsive and eventually the launcher crashed. I can'r blame Venom as the same happened on CM10 based ROMS's such as Pacmans.

I remember run Cyanogen Mod on my old Galaxy W, It was a single core 1ghz, 512 ram affair, and the phone was fast with CM and had good battery life, this doesn't seem to be the case with the sensation.

Hi!

This is my first post at xda, so first i'd like say welcome to all community ;).

Ok, lets back to the topic. So, few weeks ago I noticed a strange artefact (or something like that, I don't know how to really name it) on screen, it usually appears when I pull down status bar, especially on app with white background, its looks similar to this (screenshot in attachments) but its only white and black, it appears on bottom part of the screen, like a straight line, coming from left to right, I can't get a screenshot of this coz it appears only for a second, then dissapear. Firstly it appeared when I was using a dirt unicorns ROM, then I switched to SlimBean ROM with the Temasek kernel, but it also appeared on stock kernel. Should I ignore it, or it is damaged screen or GPU and is there any chance to fix it?

Oh, and sorry for bad English :).

I m very interested in install the official 10.2 CyanogenMod based in android 4.3, but is in Nightly phase, i am wondering how much time can take to reach a more stable version, and if is posible to follow the changes, issues and fixes in the daily releases.

I hope someone can give me orientation, thx in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
Of course you can. Head over to the thread Nardholio started in the Development section.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2405310

The first post has links to: the official CM site and to the Apex Github. The CM site has a changelog for nightlies. On the Apex Github, they maintain a list of known issues.

It's all there.

I caution you on expectations here. Android 4.4 was just announced with a very unfortunate name. I think Jelly Bean 4.3 has about 60 days to live. It would be silly to expect 10.2 to be stable by then. After 4.4 hits Nexus devices, I bet the Apex guys will shift their focus to 4.4 and we will repeat some of this process...
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Braccoz:
it will probably never happen.

android 4.4 is just around the corner, so i guess the focus will be swapped on that, as it was for 4.3 and 4.2 before
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nardholio:
CyanogenMod will do a final "release" build when 10.2 is EOL which will be the most stable we can make it. We also have a last 10.1 build we consider mostly stable, although it is unofficial. Right now 10.2 does have some stability issues, but most of these will be worked out (there are some bugs in our firmware we will not be able to fix until/if Samsung updates the firmware)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TheMaskedMan:
I have random freezes/reboots all the time on the official nightlies -- even the ones people claim are stable. The lockscreen freezes quite often too. Are these known issues or am I just a lucky one? I am running CWM and followed the installation instructions on the Cyanogenmod wiki.

I just installed alogerec and hopefully something will show up to troubleshoot my issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] computerinfo21:
Problem with 10.2 nightly as well

I have a problem with the 10.2 nightlies I have tried (all from this week) that I emailed Narholio as he requested.

But since I am a n00b and cannot post to development threads yet I could not post details there. I have not done extensive testing because the screen stays black even though the buttons light up when I try to unlock the phone. I can usually get it to display by pressing the lock button again to lock it, then pressing it again to unlock it right away. This also seems to happen only after the phone has been locked for greater than 20 seconds. If the screen timeout happens, or if press the lock button to lock it, the display almost always works if I unlock it again before 20 seconds is up.

I have not noticed any reboots or other problems, but have not used it extensively because of the black screen problem.
