[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
I am upgrading to the note 3 and will be trading in my original note at best buy. It is currently rooted with a custom rom. I'm guessing I should probably go back to the stock rom and unroot the phone, but wasn't sure if it mattered for a trade in.

Also does anyone know if the geek squad insurance plan for phones matters if you root/rom your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
You void warranty anytime you use custom ROMs or anything to do with altering the phone so I am pretty sure you'll have problems with insurance as well...its a common theme to anything you flax that your voiding warranty on any dev thread
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Those trade in programs are a rip off. Sell it on eBay. You'll get at least $150 if it works and is in decent condition.

To answer your question, though. I would go back to the original ROM. Don't worry about the root. At a minimum reflash so all you stuff is gone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JGress:
I finally got rumrunner to work last night and several times today i noticed that data turns on by itself even though i have it turned off. It still shows as being off in my power toggle widget and in settings but i still see the little 4G icon at the top of the screen next to battery level. So i CANT turn off data without rebooting my phone. Anyone else have this problem?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jski711:
No issues here. Are you still on the stock Rom?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Try clean flashing whatever ROM youre running. No issues here since exploit.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JGress:
I'm still on stock rom. I dont want to install a custom rom until theres a stable one that i like. Plus, i take a lot of pictures with my phone and i want to make sure i can keep the htc camera app before i install something else. Maybe when CM releases a stable 4.3 rom I'll load that but I'm used to what i have.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Just flash a sense based rom. They are pretty much all stable... If you're referring to seeing users post problem it's the silent majority equation.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
Do you have an app that requests data? I know sending a MMS and data off it will turn it on to send then turn off.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jski711:
I would make a backup and flash andybones bonestock. It's as stable as they come and basically stock. See if you have the same issue on that. You can always just flash back.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JGress:
I'll try that. And I haven't installed any new apps since running the exploit so I don't think it's an app issue. Is it possible that an old app was trying to keep data up but couldn't until my phone was rooted?

Does bonestock have the HTC camera app?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Yea all sense roms do.
[General Questions and Answers] moeburn:
So I found out that my new Galaxy S3 supports USB-OTG, and gamepads. Well I just so happened to have an old Xbox (original, not 360) controller lying around, so I cut off the xbox connector off the end of the cable, and replaced it with a USB cable (so very easy). It works, sort of. The buttons and dpad all work fine, but getting the analog sticks and triggers needs help from 3rd-party drivers/software.

Specifically, the issues I'm having are:

- There is absolutely no deadzone whatsoever in the Android OS gamepad drivers, so unless the game itself implements a dead zone, this makes mapping axes to functions very difficult. For example, the game Shadowgun: Deadzone, has gamepad support built in, but it requires that you map each individual button and axis; there are no premade configurations. So this means I have to manually map the left analog stick to move, and the right one to look, by tapping on the function, and then moving the appropriate stick. But the problem is that the moment I tap on a function to map it, it is instantly mapped to the trigger axis, because of how noisy/sensitive the trigger axis is, and the fact that there is no deadzone. There is no way around this. It is simply impossible to map any of the axes/buttons because of the lack of a deadzone.

- Some games, however, do come with premade gamepad configurations, so that I don't have to map each function individually. The problem is, these games usually don't allow any custom mapping, and they almost always get the axes wrong. For example, the game Dead Trigger will let you use your gamepad right away, without any options or configuration required. The game maps the left analog stick to move, just fine, but it maps up/down look to up/down on the right stick, and left/right look to the triggers?! And worse yet, the triggers are one combined axis, so this means that I am constantly spinning around in circles like a retarded chicken on a merry-go-round, unless I press and hold both triggers.

So what I need is an app that can A) Force a dead zone on the gamepad, and B) Re-map one axis to another axis.

Anyone know of any Android apps that can do this?

Oh, and they have to work on a non-rooted device, because my S3 is still under warranty, and even though I know I can just unroot it if I need to send it back, I'm still afraid that I might break it while rooted and be unable to unroot it because it is broken.

Thanks for any help!
[General Questions and Answers] LF-X:
Did you find a solution to this Problem? I'm having the same issue when using the Ouya Controller with another Android Device.
[HTC Sensation] Berkaypkk:
Ok, so first of all my usb debuggin is switched off and now that my phone wont show screen only led lights, i cant change this and since i cant get into HBoot i cant flash anything and all i can do is stare at a screen with led lights....
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
Try connecting it to your PC and see what it reads. Open device manager and see what it says is connected to your PC.
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
How did you manage this? Did it just power off or were you trying to flash anything or? Does the led flash red 3 times when you hit the power button?
[HTC Sensation] Berkaypkk:
I Had the revelation rom 1.0.2 and stupidly enough i flashed the sultan kernal (god please kill me) and now it shows the htc logo and after that black screen and when i try enter HBoot the screen fades and then thats really it and for the led lights the lights just stay on as if the phone is actually on since the phone charges and etc and i could use the power button to turn the led light on and off, Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Berkaypkk:
I had usb debugging turned off but for some reason i somehow got the computer to read the SD-Card for a couple seconds by booting the phone and plugging the usb cable straight away or some kind of combination like that but when the led lights are on and the usb cable is connected via my computer it only charges since the red light goes on.
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
Reflash revelation 1.0.2 (without wipe), with smartflash (in case you're s-on).

Happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] silentvisitor:
Can you enter in Recovery ?
[HTC Sensation] Berkaypkk:
Nope, thats the problem, i tried literally every single method online for 5 hours literally and i am not exaggerating since i bought this phone a couple days ago and now that its basically soft bricked im going to get killed :(

but yh i cant access HBoot, recovery etc so i cant reflash anything :( anyway thanks everyone for the help but my finally option is to go to a shop and ask for them to get it repaired hope it is under £20, thanks again, im in shock on how helpful this forum is :D
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
I mean, open device manager on windows, and see what it shows when the phone is connected. That might help finding what the problem is. Also, did you try RUUing?
[HTC Sensation] Berkaypkk:
The thing is what ever i try with holding the volume down and power button it wont enter recovery, hboot, bootloader etc it just wouldnt work and with the device not connecting to the computer there is litereally nothing we can do and as i said my final option is to take it to a repair shop and guess what it costed me £10 :D, THanks for the help :D
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
I don't mean what you can or can't do with the device on the computer. just what it shows when you open up device manager and the phone is connected...
[HTC Sensation] Berkaypkk:
Nothing, it wouldnt connect :(
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
So what did the repair guys do to fix it?
[HTC Sensation] Berkaypkk:
i have no clue, i still havent received a call that it has been repaired and therefore im not sure if it is repaired yet.
[HTC Sensation] silentvisitor:
They will just flash a new bootloader on it through JTAG. Your phone will be like new :good:
[HTC Sensation] Berkaypkk:
Oh, they said that it isnt a software issue and that they have to send it to a bigger company and flash something on it which is going o cost me £25 :(, i better get everything ready again :D
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
naah simply wrong boot flash will cause no problem

first of all ..to go to bootloader ...remove battery ,reinsert it then hold power + volume down button ..that should take you to bootloader

edit: you are forgetting to remove battery and reinsert it before doing power + volume down ..thats why you cant enter bootloader

(if you turned off fastboot ..which is on by default you could simply boot to bootloader by holding volume down + power )
[HTC Sensation] Berkaypkk:
Lol, i i tried that literally a thousand different times with different combinations and it just would not enter nothing, all it does is sometimes act like its going to enter something and then it fades of black and thats it, nothing else.
[HTC Sensation] b099y:
Did you finally get it repaired? I'm curious cause I have the issue now (does not power up nor cannot get it bootloader)...
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
how did you get in that situation?
[HTC Sensation] NextGenGTR:
No, the guy said i should throw my phone away but i ended up fixing it my self by taking the battery out and then puting it back in and then put it your usb cable to the computer and your phone then type adb reboot recovery then it should turn the phone on into recovery auto matically - New xda account :eek: its me berkay xD
[HTC Sensation] b099y:
It started with the "we have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software" problem.

I went ahead with the firmware upgrade to 3.33 according to the instructions posted here. I placed the PG58IMG.zip on the sd card root, went to the bootloader mode, did the update and ... after reboot go in to the boot loop (power up, HTC logo, vibe, off... and again). When I pulled out battery and put it again, phone does not light up the display at all, but you it still does periodically vibe.

Cannot to the boot loader mode (pulling out batter does not help) and the device is not visible when connected via USB. I've just tried to run the "adb reboot recovery" but get "device not found" error. What can I try to recover it?
[HTC Sensation] Mile_zdr:
I don't know mate, why don't you try with eject you battery sd card sim card and charge the phone without them for few hours than reinsert and try to power on...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piercing Heavens:
Is there any way to make the browser or phone change how it handles videos.Like in its own standalone player. For example an embedded video on a website will play natively on the website on the note 3 but in iphone it will open an app to play it.

Is there any way to make the browser on android open an app when playing embedded video instead of having to struggle with the tiny little buttons from the video player. Its just a hassle having to re-size or hit the full screen button every time and having the video restart playing all over again.

What I'm thinking in my head is when opening a video link or embedded video have android open a video player app every time instead of playing natively in the browser. Youtube uses the app sometimes but many times it just plays in the mobile website of youtube which sucks too.

Dark hboot mod

DARK BOOTLOADER

I have modified and repackaged the Google Play Edition Dark Bootloader for safe flashing on the Verizon HTC ONE(m7)!

This was NOT originally made for the m7vzw.

You understand that although it has been well tested and used by me, that you are flashing this at your own risk!

Now that we got that out of the way, here is a picture of it and a download link!

Follow the same steps I outlined in the Original Post above.

ENJOY!

dude awesome job!!

is this based off of the .8 hboot or the .10?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Thanks, I didn't see any difference in the hboots though.

So it's just pulled from the decrypted .08 RUU and it works fine for either one. :) (tested)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Perfect thank you so much!

this is awesome!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] chip.hughes:
Done and done. Why does stuff like that make me nuts enough to jack with a perfectly good hboot? IDK. Thanks! Now If I can find a way to separate the ringer and notifications on a rom based on stock. It is my white whale.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] daddygene:
I'm getting a dns error when trying to push the zip???
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I've never heard of such an error trying to do a task such as this.

Are you trying to use usb/adb/fastboot through a Virtual Machine or wireless adb or something?

You should be able to flash the zip if you were able to get the device to boot into RUU mode via command prompt from previous step.

I'm not sure how to help you without more information about your configuration or the specific error.

Try and get a screen capture if you can't grab the output from the terminal.

That's the best I can tell you without more to go on.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Yeah, I could probably do that.

I will try and get to it later today for you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Reefer Madness:
I am interested in that too.

Faux Locked 1.54 hboot can now be found at the bottom of the OP.

I did test it before uploading and it works just as expected.

Enjoy :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I'm sure you know about the regawMOD customizer?

what are your views on that?

I never made a plug-in or messed with hex editor but it seems if you can make this hboot request, you could easily make the plug-in.

just curious on where you stand on that MOD.

It's quite a bit of fun once working.

Does this also works on the GSM M7
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
This thread is for the Verizon model M7. For GSM version, go to the appropriate section. I don't know if [MENTION=1331268]santod040[/MENTION] has a modified hboot for those models, but if he does, it will be on that section, not the Verizon section. Our model has different memory allocations, since this model (m7vzw) has both a GSM and a CDMA radio in the hardware, making the memory blocks slightly different.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I've made a plugin for it already actually.

Call me old fashioned, but I like to see everything I am doing to the device.

There is a little bit of unknowns when using the Tool, that makes me feel as though I don't have 100% control over what's being done to the device.

Doing it this way, I can be 100% certain that there are no errors in the modifications and I know exactly what's being done.

I love the bootloader customizer concept and I'm sure it would/could work just as well.

regaw_leinad has made some very useful tools and I have looked through the customizer a lot.

This is still my preference for now though. :)

I just feel a little safer doing it this way.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Hey man you are doing an amazing job with this, I appreciate the feedback!

That makes a bunch of sense, esp. when dealing with hboots, I completely understand why your way is the preferred method.

can we do like personal requests like have unlocked say ***andybones*** and remove red text.

It's not a big deal, and totally understandable if you don't want to get bombarded with 1000 requests.

Was wondering if anybody has tried watching any Google Play video after using the Faux HBOOT?

Reason I ask, is that after I unlocked my HTC Thunderbolt a couple of years ago, I couldn't play their video anymore. When starting the movie, I'd get an error message that my phone was unlocked/rooted (paraphrasing) and that watching their video was prohibited on such a device.

Was hoping that perhaps this fake flag might fix that annoyance.

Thanks for this patch Santod!! It was really annoying to see that red writing and I've been searching Google for a way to fix it on my HTC One for most of the day. When I recognized your name (I'm running your NusenseX ROM on my Tbolt), I was greatly relieved. :D

Later,

i can't send any command to my phone after flashing this. my phone used to say OS-1.10.605.10 when i unlocked s-off with rumrunner_m7wlv_1.10.605.10 so i would like you to explain me how can i get back to 1.10.605.10 instead of 1.10.605.8 :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] airjordanmmix:
Sad, Mad. Frustrated

this person was lying when he told you that this was based of .10! because it isn't, after flashing this stuff to my phone i can't send any command. my phone was on .10 and now it is on .8 ....now i don't know what to do to update the hboot to .10 since everything i do to my phone is following instruction. i don't know if you know someone that can help me getting my hboot back to .10 :crying:

I feel your pain dude, but I think saying that Santod lied is a bit much.

So what do you want me to say? I am the one who is having problem, I know that this do remove the red words from the boot screen but this file bring the phone down from .10 to .8 and now my phone don't accept any command like it used to before I flashed this.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] airjordanmmix:
Making mistake make you learn from them

Of course I did read that, but if you read in the same place, he was asked if this worked with .8 or 10 and I'm not saying I didn't flash this because I did. But after that I can't flash anything else sending command to my phone. But we learn from the mistake. And I will learn from this one. Since long ago I didn't flash nothing to any HTC phone because I was using the galaxy S2,3,4 until now that I decided to get the HTC one.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
Well you obviously messed up somewhere. Cuz you seem to be the only person who's had an issue. I haven't used it but I'm not worried about it. Someone else just said they used it on your same software version but it's working fine for them.

I'm just looking for help, that's why I mentioned you, now you telling me to flash the RUU, where can I find it? I'm not an expert doing this that's why I read a lot before I do something to do exactly what I read from those person like you and others that now how to do this. Otherwise I wouldn't be here looking for someone to help me fixing this. I'm not asking for that much. Giving me the right link and command I just follow the steps
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
The RUU is VERY easy to find, it's even in this SAME section, but here , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2437436. This is my advice, flash the RUU. The thread will tell you how. I am not the go to guy for everything, I can only offer advice, it's your phone, though.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
I think you are greatly confused. :eek:

The hboot does not change your software or your actual software version.

The hboot does include an Android-Info.text file with it so that it will install on your device.

In that text file is the software version it expects to find on your device when it loads, which is mainver: 1.10.605.8.

If you want it to read mainver: 1.10.605.10 on your hboot screen, simply change the 8 to a 10 in the text file using notepad++ and flash the file.

Just because the hboot screen reads mainver: 1.10.605.8, doesn't mean it actually reverted your software to that.

Your software version can be more accurately found in system settings.

If it's that big of a deal, I can post one with the software version changed in the text file.

Though it will not change anything other then the number you see in hboot.

I think flashing an RUU at this point is a waste of time, unless you have some kind of real issue.
