[One (M7) Android Development] Sneakyghost:
This is not about credits or mentions. I don't give much about it. I have nothing in my thread that is originally my work. Nothing i could take credit for except that my thread is very comprehensive and has all necessary warnings and tries to educate people on what they do there.

My thread was created early and for the sole intent of trying to avoid threads like these with half informed stuff which lures people into thinking hboot and firmware flashing was as easy as a ROM flash.

There is one single reason HTC has locked everything but system, recovery and kernel away from us: its plain dangerous and can lead to a non-functional phone (from HTC's perspective a costly warranty nightmare). Fixing is very hard on the M7 as the disassembly is work only pro's can accomplish without damage to the phone. Yet, disassembly is required for jtag repair. It is of utmost importance to educate people on what exactly they do there, how to do it and what to do if things seemingly go wrong.

I also don't mind multiple threads of the same matter, thinking it through. Really not. There is always more and new info available that way.

I just object threads that throw edited hboots at people and say "here flash that and enjoy!" because for the aforementioned reasons, that is just irresponsible and, to play back the ball of the OP, not very intelligent.

I will now drop a report to moderation and ask them to judge whether or not to close this thread down. I am not the judge, i am one of many. I just have my opinion. Maybe i am wrong. I will leave it to those dudes moderating this forum. If they decide to leave it as it is, i will not show up anymore and leave the OP alone.

[EDIT]

Actually, i'd appreciate the original poster to work with me to have synergy effects. Every bit of info is helping to make firmware works more secure. HTC does not provide any documentation and the true reverse engineering people like team revolutionary also do not share their findings generously, so if there is another member here with an affinity to look into hboot and firmware stuff, it couldn't be more beneficial if we shared our findings.
[One (M7) Android Development] olorolo:
I agree that it is easy to brick being uninformed on the matter of hboots and installing the wrong one or even installing it wrong! I will say this in regards to information on hboots....OP you should refer users of this thread to another more informed thread for installation purposes but your thread is helpful for supplying individual carrier edited hboots so thanks for that but sneaky is correct. Some guys don't research enough and stick their necks out without respecting the consequences enough.

[HTC Droid DNA] etracyirl:
If anyone can help I would appreciate it sooooo much. Ever since I went to 4.2.2 my mobile data speeds have gone to **** when I'm using the browser. I get a 10-15 second delay in loading a web page. When I use my WiFi it seems to be fine. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. It's not Rom specific. I've attached screen shots of a speed test which is perfect and a shot of the browser trying to load a page.

This makes no sense to me someone please help
[HTC Droid DNA] etracyirl:
NFigured it out, I restored flash player with titanium backup and that was the issue. I uninstalled and re installed and I'm good now :) hope this helps someone.

Edit...this seemed to help for a bit then went back to being slow.
[HTC Droid DNA] seeingwhite:
I have this exact problem. I am on 4.3.1 and everything works fine on wifi, but browsing via stock and chrome browsers always stalls. Installing flash player from TB didn't fix it. Anyone else have any thoughts?
[HTC Droid DNA] Z-Saber:
I've had this issue for about two months. ROM doesn't seem to matter as I've tried stock, super stock, the old Viper, NOS GPE, and Viper Sense 5 along with most of the kernels out there. I've RUU-ed probably 8 times with no luck.

The "Adobe Flash" fix didn't work for me, but I do use Titanium Backup. Maybe the problem is there somewhere?
[HTC Droid DNA] seeingwhite:
The adobe flash fix didn't work for me, either. I found a fix in another sub-forum for a different phone. It recommended installing adfree and then selecting the "revert" option in the app. That fixed the problem for me completely. Hope that helps anyone else with this problem.

You can get the app to sideload it here: http://adfree.bigtincan.com/
[HTC Droid DNA] Z-Saber:
Welp, I downloaded it, but the app seems stuck. After running it, I get the boot normally / TCP dialogue, but nothing happens after that. Just stuck on the loading screen with the spinning circle.
[HTC Droid DNA] seeingwhite:
I just reinstalled it and tried it again. I am now getting the same error as you. Might be a server-side problem. Might want to try again tomorrow?

[HTC Droid DNA] Z-Saber:
Could you post a link to the thread you were talking about where this solution came up? I'd like to read through it. Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] accord91lx:
I am also having this problem, ViperDNA, 4.1.1. WiFi is fine, but mobile data is unusable. If I toggle mobile data off then back on, it works ok for a bit, then goes back to ****. Just recently started happening. I also have a similar issue with my G2.
[HTC Droid DNA] seeingwhite:
I couldn't find it again, it was really hard to find the first time. But I just tried it again and the app is working. Just install it, tell it to boot normally, give it root permission, tell it to skip after it does its host file check, then press the revert button. When that is done, uninstall adfree and reboot.

That should do it.

Tapatalk
[HTC Droid DNA] Z-Saber:
Got it working, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I'm still having the exact same issue. Getting frustrated with this since RUU is supposed to be the miracle fixer, yet that and a bunch of other attempts with solutions like the ones in this thread have done nothing. Outside of this thread, I can't find anyone else talking about this problem.
[HTC Droid DNA] seeingwhite:
With what browsers are you experiencing this problem? Are you on Verizon and using the latest radios?
[HTC Droid DNA] Z-Saber:
I'm on the most current Verizon radio with Verizon service. Most current OTA hboot. Moonshine s-off. Recently RUU-ed.

I use Dolphin and Opera Mini. Strangely, Opera Mini doesn't have this issue, but Dolphin does. However, browsers aren't the only problem. I have the same thing happen with nearly every data-using app. Twitter, Instagram, A Online Radio, TuneIn Radio, as well as Dolphin for sure seem to have this issue. Opera is okay, and Google Play Store and Facebook seem to be mostly unaffected.

It's unexplainable. Everything works instantly and fine on WiFi, but 4G, 3G, and 1X all have this 10-20 second delay before they start actually connecting. After this lag, they all download quite well. It's just the initial connection that has a problem. And again, I've searched everywhere and haven't read anyone experiencing this.
[HTC Droid DNA] seeingwhite:
Hmmm, not sure what's going on. Maybe you need a new SIM card? Maybe try re seating the SIM? You can also turn off the radio in the hidden phone settings menu and then turn it back on. From the dialer type: *#*#4636#*#*
[HTC Droid DNA] Z-Saber:
I've tried removing and reinserting SIM card before, and I've reset the radio and tried airplane mode probably a hundred times. Not sure what the dialer number is supposed to do, but it seems to do nothing.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
Guys answer this what does flash player half to do with slow internet?

Also you internet speed looks fine.
[HTC Droid DNA] etracyirl:
I edited the op because I'm still having issues like the rest and it said solved but it's not. I just installed ad app I'll see if it helps.
[HTC Droid DNA] seeingwhite:
You don't need to keep adfree installed, just use it to reset the host file or something. Maybe someone who knows the actual mechanism will chime in and explain why it helps.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Desperate User:
Well, as the title suggests, I just got my new Nexus 7 in the mail. Played around with it, definitely liked it. I wanted to get it rooted and used this guide on the website to try to root it. I installed the drivers, enabled debugging and developer mode and USB debugging, saw the serial as it said, and then I unlocked the bootloader and tried to root my tablet. Things started to get wonky. The toolkit said that it was completed, but my tablet stuck on the loading 4-colored X screen. It's been about 30 minutes and I'm thinking that my device is bricked. Then I tried to restore the device but the toolkit isn't recognizing the tablet. How do I restore my tablet, or do anything with it?

Please help, as I don't want to waste $220 on 4 hours of having a working Nexus 7.

UPDATE: So it wasn't bricked it, as I was able to return to the home screen. After a day of using it though, with the Nexus being buggy (freezing and crashing), it just died. I can't boot it or anything. It's plugged in, but nothing's happening.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] macaumen:
Download factory image and do a factory restore:

Read this thread:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Desperate User:
No custom recovery, but I have an update:

So after using the vol- and power buttons, I was able to bring the Nexus back to its home screen for a day (so it wasn't bricked), but it was really buggy- freezing on my and shutting down. Now though, I think it's bricked; I can't power it up, can't do anything. So I can't turn it on now :/. Probably gonna take it to see a repair store sometime soon.

Try plugin it in the charger and wait 5 min and then try to boot it with power+volume down
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bananagranola:
If you're not rooted, it's just a stock update. There isn't any more risk than there is for any stock version, and you shouldn't lose data. If you buy a Nexus 7 2013 a few months down the line, after current stock with JWR66N is sold out, I believe it'll come with that update out of the box.

I understand you're frustrated, but that was a little rude...he's just trying to get help, just like you.

Unrecognized in ADB or fastboot? Can you get into bootloader (boot while holding power and volume-down)? If you haven't tried fastboot while the phone is in the bootloader, and you can get into bootloader, try "fastboot devices." If you can do that, download a custom recovery and flash it from fastboot. Then format data and reboot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Desperate User:
Done and nothing
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Guhrasoh:
Download the platform tools: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390355257214632011 and

TWRP for the WiFi: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/flo/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img or LTE version: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/deb/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-deb.img

Unpack the platform tools zip into a folder, copy the openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-deb.img file into the same folder and open a command prompt into this folder (hold shift while right clicking on the folder and the option should be there).

Try to turn the nexus off by holding the power button for 30 secs, connect it via USB to your PC and wait till the screen shows the white charging information. Now press the volume down button on the nexus and keep holding it while you press the power button. After a moment you should see the green android with the open belly and some device information on the screen.

Now go to the command prompt you opened and enter: fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-deb.img for the LTE or fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img for the WiFi version.

After a few seconds you should see the recovery screen, if it asks you for a password just hit cancel, there choose "Wipe" and then "Format Data" and confirm that you want to format data. After it has done its stuff go back to the main menu and choose reboot and let it boot into system. Now it should work again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Desperate User:
That would be great, but when I plug in the tablet to the PC the screen doesn't show any information. That and I can't turn on my Nexus in any way, including the volume down and power method.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bananagranola:
How long has it been charging? I'd give it a couple hours, then try the bootloader again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Guhrasoh:
It could still be on but in a crashed state, so try holding the power button for 30 to 60 seconds to make certain it is off.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Desperate User:
About an hour. I'll wait till then, but I don't think that's the problem.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cowabunga:
Hold vol down first. While pressing vol down, press and hold power. At this point, you should have both vol down and power both held in. Just keep on holding both until you see the bootloader screen (ie. the one with the android with it's stomach open). Assuming the battery has power and you have not blown your boot loader, it should come up. If that does not work, I'd guess the battery is most likely out of juice and you should plug the device in and charge it up.

If you can get to the boot loader, your options are infinite what you want to do from there.

Specifically I want to know how much I can do to my phone by rooting it and then unrooting it. My job has a BYOP (bring your own phone) program for company phones, the restrictions being:

1. It can't be rooted

2. I have to install Airwatch on the phone to use it with work

I was thinking about picking up a phone (16GB Nexus 4 maybe?) and doing the following:

Root

Swap out the ROM (AOKP)

Install XPosed

Install XPrivacy and a few other XPosed modules

Unroot

This should work fine, right? It's my understanding that you just need root to install XPosed, but once you've done that you can remove root and still install modules. Anything I'm possibly missing out on?
