[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaitforitb:
I got this used HTC one. I had google edition ROM on it when I got it. Then I flashed AR HD Rom on it. Everything was going fine till I decided to flash the latest firmware since I wanted to go to ARHD 30 and everyone seems to recommend to flash the new firmware.

I was going thru the normal steps and saw that I need to relock my device. I did this:

C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem lock

...

(bootloader) Lock successfully...

(bootloader) mipi display off

(bootloader) mipi_dsi_cmds_tx_ext

(bootloader) pm8921_vreg_disable function, vreg_id = 38

(bootloader) pm8921_vreg_disable function, vreg_id = 1

(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642044 (0x1FDDFD7C)

(bootloader) Use PSHOLD to reset device.

FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

finished. total time: 1.110s

After this I noticed that I had relocked written in fastboot mode even though it said failed. So tried the next step:

C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem rebootRUU

...

(bootloader) Start Verify: 3

OKAY [ 0.036s]

finished. total time: 0.040s

C:\Program Files\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

sending 'zip' (28338 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.566s]

writing 'zip'...

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

finished. total time: 5.843s

And any step that I try it fails. The most unfortunate thing is I can only boot in fastboot & bootloader mode. I can't go in recovery neither can I boot normally. These are my phone details:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.44.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 4A.18.3263.15

(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT

getvar:all FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

finished. total time: 0.057s

I looked up online tried flashing recovery but now any step that I try to do in fastboot fails with following message:

(bootloader) signature checking...

FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)

I saw in some places people mentioned to use RUU. Not sure what it is but if some one can point me to a correct RUU or let me know any other steps it would be greatly appreciated. My phone is almost bricked now since i can't go past fastboot/bootloader.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzcgd:
You have no idea how lucky you are. Before you do anything, get S-OFF using revone. Just go into CWM (or re-flash recovery) so you can use adb. Once you have s-off, follow my guide :

This guide requires S-OFF

​

Important

*** If there are files you need to keep, you can always use adb pull to get them out before hand (let's say a nandroid backup or something important)

This guide assumes you have knowledge about how adb and fastboot command work and that your HTC drivers are up to date.

I am in NO WAY responsible for any possible damage that may happen to your phone, I am only trying to help

Start your phone in bootloader by typing

adb reboot bootloader

or by other means.

Select "Fastboot" so that it appears in red instead of HBOOT

On your computer, make sure fastboot sees your device, then type

fastboot erase cache

Type

fastboot erase cache

Type

fastboot erase userdata

Type

fastboot erase system

Type

fastboot erase linux

Type

fastboot erase recovery

Type

fastboot erase cache

Type

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Download the new firmware.zip

Type

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Once it's rebooted on a silver HTC logo, type :

fastboot flash zip [pathonyourcomputer/firmware.zip]

Wait until it is done on your computer. The green line on the phone will never reach the end.

Type

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Reflash your recovery (I recommend CWM). Might as well play it safe.

fastboot flash recovery [pathonyourcomputer/recovery.img]

Reboot into recovery (select the option in fastboot)

Wipe data/factory reset (you will loose everythng)

Select "Wipe Cache partition"

Select "Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache"

Now you have 2 options :

Push (Preferred)

While in recovery, type

adb push [path/rom.zip] /sdcard/rom.zip

Select "Install zip"

Select "Choose zip from sdcard"

Voila ! You should be good to go !

Sideload (If you can't push for some reason)

Select "Install zip"

Select "Install zip from sideload"

Type

adb sideload [path/rom.zip]

Voila ! You should be good to go !

[MENTION=4378684]awaitforitb[/MENTION]:

I agree with the S-Off part, just check the date of your bootloader it has to be pre June 2013. Also, in order for revone to work you need a functioning ROM (4.1.2... 4.3 will NOT work). Do you have one functioning device, or are you "stuck in bootloader" as the title says.

You could run the RUU found on androidruu http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=M7, I believe yours would be http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo....20_10.40.1150.04_release_326691_signed_2.exe

That's an exe you run directly from your PC, and it will walk you through the steps, this will wipe your phone completely! and restore everything back to 100% stock.

After that you should get S-Off, and then proceed to whatever your end goal is.

[MENTION=3588454]attanasi0[/MENTION] just a couple of questions, why do you recommend all the "fastboot erase userdata/linux/system/recovery" ?

Also, please remember that when using "fastboot flash zip <name of firmware>.zip", in most cases, you have to do it twice after each other, the first will push the zip and say "failed, flush image again" (or something along those lines), the second flash will actually start the installation and should report success.

I usually use firmwares from [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION]'s guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2365506 as they have the dzdata files removed, as well as the stock boot.img and recovery.img removed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzcgd:
You're about pushing the zip at first, forgot about that.

I honestly don't know why I recommend that. I guess it's to make sure the phone is a clean slate and no conflict will be created TL;DR : Paranoia

[Samsung Captivate Glide] AndyYan:
CM10.1.2 is good enough for me in terms of stability, while CM10.2 is stable enough but has small kinks to be ironed. Also try 4.3 PACman yourself.(I found customizing it too painful), but I think I saw people said that recent nightlies are problematic.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k8108:
I am trying to restore a NC that won't boot. After making a new bootable CMW sd card, the nook will boot but has the error message

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command, etc.

I have tried various boot images tonight - Leapinlar's, eyeballer's, and another one. I have tried several SD cards. I still get the same error message. I have fixed the 'no boot' problem on a couple of NC's by fixing the partitions, but have not seen this error myself before.

I have searched and found this error mentioned a lot here in the forums, but have yet to find a definitive answer or solution. Is it hardware related, or SD related?

Has anyone had this error and found a solution that worked?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I realize that my partitions do need to be fixed, but I can't get past the error message to run the zip files.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagirfahmid3:
Hmm...Can you at least get ADB working on your pc? It should work even if your partitions are messed up. It sure did for my Nook Tablet. I totally bricked it and ended up repairing it from adb shell alone (had to manually remake partitions).

Type in "adb shell" in the command line. Should list your serial number. If it shows "00000000" then your ROM partition is prob. messed up.

Type in "fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0" (press q to quit after observing the partitions listed). Type "blkid" If it lists your factory partition (for me, it's mmcblk0p3) and it is still intact, you can get your ROM partition's info back and that will allow you to boot successfully.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That error message is an indication that your /cache partition is not functional (probably along with your other partitions). Are you saying this error prevents you from flashing anything?

If so, your solution is to get ADB working and using fdisk to manually rebuild the partitions.

You might also try putting a ROM on SD and see if that boots. Then you can use Terminal Emulator to run fdisk.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k8108:
Correct, I can not flash anything from recovery.

I did make a boot-able SD using your image (leapinlar) and the nook wouldn't boot. (It would have been great if it had!) So I'm going to keep working to see if I can understand and work ADB.

Yes, unfortunately it's to be expected from AMOLED technology, at least for now. I've swapped several phones in the past and they all were either worse or slightly better than the first. Extremely few say they have perfect screens, and even then they probably haven't taken steps to make it more visible (if the pixels are completely turned off it will indeed be completely black) or they just don't have an eye for it. My own Note 3 also has this issue. Google "mura effect" for more answers.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] insane209:
I just got my Note 3 a few days ago (upgraded from the Note 2) and I am gonna list of what i think are my pros and cons about the Note 3. Feel free to post your opinions as well...

Pros:

*Speed & performance is smoother than the Note 2, the extra 1gb of ram and 2.3 snap dragon is nice.:good:

*Boot up is way quicker than the Note 2.

*I like the new back cover better than the Note 2 and design of the phone.

*The features on the camera are nice as well as the phone features.

Cons:

*Knox! Was using SetCPU on my rooted Note 3 & Knox kept force closing it with its security notification (unless your using a rom)

*The loud speaker is poorly placed on the bottom as well and i tend to cover it sometimes while playing games landscape mode

*The stylus pen is harder to prey out of the phone itself

*The mic is badly placed on the lower left side and if your like me i hold it with my pinky and sometimes cover it up.

*The camera sucks at focusing up close shots, for example if im taking a up close shot of a paper with small writing.

*Phone runs hot sometimes on the upper back side of the phone around the camera area.

*Every time i disable the "transition animation scale" in the developer options....some how when i use the camera it re-enables it all the time.

This was all happening while being on stock non-rooted, hopefully in the future they fix these problems...but for now im actually thinking of going back to my Note 2

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mvansomeren:
Thanks for your observations. I will disagree with you on a few points based upon my experience...

The battery life on my Note 3 is much better than on my Note 2

I'm glad that the S-Pen is harder to pull out. We have over 600 Note 2s at work and people have lost their S-Pens because they have fallen out somewhere.

I have not experienced the phone running hot at all.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] johnscudder:
Pro's & Con's

I have the Sprint white 32gig model.

The Pros:

Bright screen

Battery lasts better than my Note 2

Charges faster with the new USB 3.0 plug

Screen size is nice

Faster/better 3G data connect than Note 2

Cons: (taking a deep breath)

The voice quality on a connected call is horrible, with snaps, crackles, and pops.

The Wi-Fi antenna is horrible. Laptop connects at "Excellent signal strength" while the Note 3 displays "signal not stable/weak signal" and doesn't connect. Sometimes it also sits there stating, "verifying IP address" and never connects, while the laptop is connected fine.

There seems to be a slight delay between screen tap and execution of an app.

The SNote program is buggy, with templates you don't actually type into (i.e., lined paper template) as on the Note 2. The templates are more like wallpapers, and misaligned to the text (further giving you that feel that there's a disconnection between screen and input).

The KIES program is not backwards compatible. The 3.0 version does not support the Note 2's 2.6 version, making backup/restore from Note 2 onto Note 3 impossible. There's no way to get Native "phone" calendar entries on the Note 2 over to the Note 3. The Smartswitch app also doesn't transfer Note 2 native calendar entries over to the Note 3.

The web interface is buggy when trying to enter text in web forms. Text changes size as you're typjng, obscuring your view of what you're typing. Entering text within a web text field is difficult in landscape mode as there's one to two lines to work with because the screen keyboard/word detection and notification bar cover everything else. You can disable some of these in settings, but a like to see the time when I'm typing.

There is an obvious delay between tapping on a text entry field and and the Swype keyboard displaying.

Just my observations

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Myrdos:
Your issue make me remember an old bug in Cyanogenmod where the internal and external sdcards would be swapped.

Did you make a backup of /efs and your original stock ROM/Kernel/Recovery before upgrading to cm 10.1?

Upgrading to CM 10.1 converted your partitions to another format so you won't be able to go back to stock without flashing the original partitions using Odin or Heimdall.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] akguy115-1009:
