Hey ZhuHuang. HTC phones are notoriously a pain in the ASS to root and s-off etc,

I don't have the m8, too poor as a college student. Settled with my G2 and I'm happy with it. I still have experience with HTC and the m8 just a little. Hope any of this helps.

Instructions

How do i backup the stock HTC recovery ?

Boot the custom recovery, preferably with Philz touch recovery as it will back up the stock recovery for sure, you need the following command to boot it and not flash it over the stock recovery :

fastboot boot recovery_filename.img (this does not work on the latest 3.xx firmwares !!! we need to get the stock recoveries from the OTA files)

These OTA files can be found here in the OTA files and update discussion thread thanks to exocetdj and nintendolinky - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696514

Then make a full nandroid backup, the stock recovery is located inside the backup folder.

Cheers.

If your not rooted yet just get sunshine soff you can Google it, It unlocks the boot loader for you and does the soff it does cost a little but it will apparently work on any m8 there is also firewater which is free.

If you have rooted though the steps I mentioned earlier will work to get the update, but with soff you can do pretty much anything with your phone like updating firmware I hope this helps, you should also check out sneakyghost's thread in the m8 development section he's very helpful with anything firmware related.

Ya HTC phones are a pain in the butt. Getting s-off is rarely simple.

Sent from my cdma 4.4.2 Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 601 zara_cl
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
It was really easy for me lol I used Firewater but it doesn't work for everyone unfortunately.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Means sunshine do not need root work? If I'm using sunshine, do I still need to register at HTCDev to get token?

In the end of the day I will revert back to complete stock to get warranty back. (This is my brother's device)
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:
I just read the OP in the sunshine thread and it states that it will unlock the boot loader for you . You can relock the boot loader in fastboot after you are done doing your thing. So you shouldn't have to unlock the boot loader at HTC dev which is a plus. Also HTC devices are not hard to root they used to be. It's the S-off that it's tricky.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
That's what I think. Thanks for clarifying. :)
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
If it helps in any way I read somewhere that HTC don't actually really bother to check the boot loader in warranty situations, a guy reported to have an soffed device and sent it in and they didn't mention anything to do with the fact he'd modified his phone.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
With your device registered under HTCDev still no risk at all? :eek:
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
I can't guarantee that but it is what I've read from other users that they don't bother checking but of you relock the boot loader it shouldn't be an issue.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

I think it might be a good idea to make a post in the q&a section for m8 you may get some better advise that way there are always ways around these things lol I couldn't hurt.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
So here's a question,

Delay vs No-Delay

We know the difference in sound quality is hardly audible, but will you sacrifice the sound quality for a no-delay effect?

Or will you continue to believe the delay version just sounds better?

What do you think?
[Android Software Development] Sir_gpm:
I am using Sony Xperia ((44k Z-Edition)) ClearAudio+ is there a good setup for v4a using this irs for speaker and headset. Thank you.
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:
Are you referring to H vs Z I think the Z editions have better sound quality and use them over the H editions
[Android Software Development] greogory:
Sounds like you have all your serious questions about the warranty answered. I just wanted to point out that since it's your brother's phone, it's also the perfect opportunity to find out exactly how to completely, totally and irreparably brick one of these. Are you familiar with the saying, "when opportunity knocks, club it to death"? Brothers' devices always present perfect opportunities! ;)
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Not familiar with that.

It's an expensive device. I mean his belongings somehow becomes my belongings, haha.
[Android Software Development] greogory:
I only meant it as a happy joke, but my meaning was lost in cultural translation. I would never truly suggest intentionally damaging your brother's phone. I, too, always take extra care with things that belong to other people-- especially things that belong to my family and friends.

Take care, HZ. You're a good person, and your brother is very lucky to have you.

Sincerely with my best wishes for you,

Greg

Long time ago, I have been thinking of using check boxes to improve IRS-buying experience.

Today, I finally managed to get it working. But I'm not implementing so soon.

That said, I can now give my full attention to IRS development.

You can expect some IRS releases before December

[Android Software Development] ahmed dzico:
Is this mode install with viper ?? How can I install it ???
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
It's not a mod there irs. Files you place them in the kernel folder in v4a to alter the sound.
[Android Software Development] ahmed dzico:
Can you please tell me how ?

[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
Oh btw just to let you know BoomSound had another update recently, people are saying that the first update was better though, I've not heard out myself as I use harmen kardon it's much better than BoomSound and I use your irs for that lol.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
Currently my m8 stuck at 4.4.3 stock.

Waiting for a solution to s-off and root, without sunshine.

If nothing helps, maybe I really have to use sunshine...
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
I think sunshine is the only option available atm they say it's well worth it, I was luck with to root before the 4.4.3 update so firewater worked for me.
[Android Software Development] NickosD:
I can't understand where to replace those files. I can't find the folder!
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:
You have to create the folder name it kernel inside of viper4android folder
[Android Software Development] NickosD:
I don't have the viper4android folder.... Isn't it located at sdcard?
[Android Software Development] NickosD:
In that folder?
[Android Software Development] greogory:
The .irs files you want to use with convolver need to be in the folder named, "/sdcard/Viper4Android/kernel".

The V4A app does not create these folders, so the user must create them. Here's what you need to do, step-by-step:

1. Open a file manager app like "Root Explorer", "ES File Explorer", or one of the many others available from the Google Play Store and elsewhere.

2. Go to the folder named, "/sdcard".

3. Create a new folder in /sdcard named, "Viper4Android".

4. Go to the new folder, "/sdcard/Viper4Android".

5. Create another folder named, "kernel".

6. Go to the new folder, "/sdcard/Viper4Android/kernel".

7. Copy the .irs files into the "/sdcard/Viper4Android/kernel" folder.

I hope this helped! :)

Greg
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:
There should be a folder in the root of the internal storage if there is not one go inside V4A and just save an effect profile. That will create the viper4android folder and also add a profile folder inside it than you can add kernel folder inside of the Viper4android folder

Edit: you are looking in the wrong location also
[Android Software Development] NickosD:
I did a search and that only came.

And something else. Can I use more than 1 mod? Eg sony and boom sound
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:
You can put as many IRS files in the kernel folder that you want but you can only use one at a time in the V4A app the app just reads the files from that folder
[Android Software Development] NickosD:
Yeah I got it how it works. Thanks both!

Can I ask what you use?
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:

Ya, its that easy, don't even need to register an account.
[Android Software Development] dandan2980:
I scooped up the Boom sound IRS and they sound great especially the HK Live stage one. This is lollipop Aosp ROMs. I know audio sounds a tad bit different on sense. Actually sense and V4A don't sound that good together after the update too 4.4.4 IMHO. That's why I mostly run Aosp.

[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
I think it's personal preference along with headphone variants also to be honest, I am currently getting amazing sound quality using the h/k mod along with extreme beats project era and v4a, I'm using an irs I had made for me by vinardo_ZzZ called HTC triple treat and bass +6db set to subwoofer and clarity set to xhifi +10db and with my bluedio r+ headphones I'm getting amazing sound, by far the best I've ever had.
[Android Software Development] Hedied4me:
So what's the difference between the 44khz and 48khz?
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
4khz
[Android Software Development] Hedied4me:
That I understand but not being an audiophile I just wasn't sure if the quality is better on one or the other.
[Android Software Development] zhuhang:
44kHz and 48kHz IRS are just for compatibility purposes, there are no quality difference.

But for a device, 48k is higher quality than 44k.

Hope all's well, Z.

I just bought the Xperia, Boomsound/HK and DTS paid IRS packs and I was wondering if you'd be able to possibly do a Harman/Kardon IRS without LiveStage?

If not it's cool, JW.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
Live stage is an affect that's why it's possible to reproduce it in an irs. Harman kardon itself is an actual sound processor, it uncompresses mp3 back to there original wav quality the only way to really get it is to own an m8 unfortunately, although I've heard talk of another phone soon to be released that will also have hk sound so with luck it might be able to be ported over for other devices but that's not out yet so the wait is still on I'm afraid.

I hope this answers your question.
[Android Software Development] smeejaytee:
Also hk is purely for quality sound if you are a basshead it needs some tweaking in v4a anyway lol.

[Android Software Development] Sc4ryB3ar:
I didn't say a thing about 'having' to do anything.... So while trying to be 'smart', it made you look like a smartass.... Reading comprehension is as important as literacy itself.

What I did do, is ask him what he needed....it was a fair question...the reply could be "nothing, I'm not interested in making a Bose irs".... Or it could be " you need 'thing a' or 'thing a and b' to make or have a Bose IRS made"....or several other answers....the question was pretty generic.

I'm not trying to be anything but you are a dumb ass without even trying, it comes natural to you.
