Hi,

anyone tried how flash works on 4.4? Yeah I know it's not officially supportred.

[HTC One Max] navalynt:
UPDATE 11/25/2013 - scotty1223 posted a method by which you can change your UNLOCKED flag back to LOCKED which then re-enables the fingerprint senser. I'd recommend to just avoid HTCDev.com for unlocking and go straight to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2540004

On a personal note:

It makes sense really. Your fingerprint is like a unique password that you cannot change so HTC is doing everything prudent to protect that password for you. I don't see a problem with this personally.

On a technical note:

I believe the TZ partition (mmcblk0p11) has a check for whether the device is LOCKED, UNLOCKED, or RELOCKED. If it is anything other than LOCKED then the fingerprint scanner is automatically disabled.

I believe there are two possible ways to re-enable the fingerprint scanner:

Issue the command fastboot oem lock from the bootloader then run a factory RUU for your carrier

Hex edit the TZ partition to remove the unlock check, then fastboot oem lock and subsequently unlock the device again

The first method would most likely require that you also flash the stock recovery from fastboot before relocking.

The second method would require S-OFF to function as it is very unlikely that mmcblk0p11 is writable with S-ON.

I am by no means an expert with HBOOT or TZ so I may be way off base here, but that's how I see it right now. I'll see if I can get a warning posted in the threads about the fact that unlocking the bootloader with HTC Dev method will disable the fingerprint scanner.
[HTC One Max] B-Man2005:
yes ... pretty sad situation here... dont want to lock it again at the moment ... maybe i will relock it when i found a good rom ( i hope there will be roms for this phone, mike wont do one :( )

damn its a great phone !!
[HTC One Max] hectorz321:
relocking didn't work for me
[HTC One Max] garyfl:
I can confirm relocking dosent enable it.
[HTC One Max] sgt. slaughter:
Odd HTC would put a check on that function there....
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
[MENTION=1765068]navalynt[/MENTION] i have an app which also does not work after boot-loader unlocking.

This app is "Du Transport" and it is an app which is used to replace smart cards in pubic transport. This requires a special sim from the telecom provider and with this SIM as authentication the app uses NFC to replace the smart cards.

i think it goes back to the secure partition which you talked about. your solution logically makes sense that it's a bug in the firmware/hboot or where ever which needs to be fixed rather than these individual apps fixed.

This should have also behaved the same way as in HTC One.

For the s-off solution, do you think we could we just reuse the tools/scripts which were created for HTC One?
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Has someone here contacted HTC or know if HTC/HTCDev are aware or working on this issue?

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

I am not sure if this is a bug or that's the way it is meant to work. we could possibly contact HTC/HTC Dev for a fix about it if we are sure it is a bug. i have read that HTC dev's attitude is bad but we could possibly contact the service center managers and demand a new phone under warranty.

I am not worried warranty and BL unlocks as i have dealt with such a situation before.
[HTC One Max] scumpicule:
Hello

So the solution to make it enable state again is to flash a RUU ?
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
so i contacted HTC customer care via the website and i got this response.
[HTC One Max] sgt. slaughter:
Send you to service center to have RUU flashed.... Has nothing to do with custom OS... I'd hit up Jason and Mo from HTC on Twitter.... likely get a better logical response there.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Yeah thanks, that's what i am thinking of doing... i was wondering if there is going to be some kind of solution to this issue or we just have to live without root ? it's not only fingerprint sensor which seem to stop working... its some kind of secure flag/partition which goes bonkers on BL unlock :( i have a very similar issue with another app after BL unlock.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Paul O'Brien of Modaco confirmed that HTC is aware of the issue and he raised it with HTC
[HTC One Max] hotaru2k3:
has anyone with s-off tried setting the bootloader back to "locked" (not "relocked") to see if that fixes it?

I would try it but the only one max I have access to belongs to my dad and he's considering returning it and getting something else so I can't do anything that could cause problems with returning it.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
We don't have definite guides of making it to "locked" yet.

Given that our device is almost the same as HTC One, i am guessing methods of HTC One might work.

I found this on the HTC One forum - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2497712
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Woot woot! it worked!!!

I removed my TAMPERED flag and also set it to LOCKED and the fingerprint scanner works!

Thanks to [MENTION=3437245]scotty1223[/MENTION] for this! i would let scotty1223 to post the commands and make a thread for resetting the flags.
[HTC One Max] JohnnyGipsy:
If this is true, this would be amazing.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Yes it does work mate, works well! you would need S-Off and would need to follow the commands for locking and unlocking
[HTC One Max] JohnnyGipsy:
Than post the commands, please.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
oh well, All credits to [MENTION=3437245]scotty1223[/MENTION]

[HTC One Max] wase4711:
does the fingerprint sensor actually work most of the time?

most of the reviews say it rarely works...not that I listen to what a reviewer says about any phone...

thanks
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
It does work well! i never intended to use my fingerprint scanner when i purchased, but this thing is lot easier than putting in a pin that i started using it. The reviewers involuntarily been comparing it to iPhone.

There is lot of physical difference between iPhone and MAX and that results in different ways of holding the phones. The fact is that you can hold the MAX in too many positions and hence leading to many angles of reaching the fingerprint sensor, i.e i can reach the fingerprint sensor from the left or bottom or even anywhere between the angle of 90 to 180 degree and the finger is always not flat, it reaches the corner curve many times.

while in the iPhone its 99% the thumb pressing the button flat in the middle with angle would be approx 90.

[HTC One Max] wase4711:
did you unlock with htc dev?
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
SO quick question, what happens when it is NOT working? For instance mine (Verizon) still appears to work properly, still reads the fingerprint swipe properly when setting up, but always fails on the 4th set up swipe so you can't complete the setup. Is that what happens when it doesn't work?
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Yes that is what we call does not work.
[HTC One Max] oneandroidnut:
if i remember correctly that is what mine did or didnt read it at all
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
Thank you. Based on the subject matter in this thread I didn't expect it to function at all so I was surprised it was getting past the first 3 swipes for me and was wondering if that's what others were experiencing. Thanks again for the response.
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
Just for comparison mine has not worked on the first swipe since I unlocked/tampered.
[HTC One Max] wase4711:
I don't even bother with mine anymore..

Would be nice to get this going again while staying unlocked - someone will get it done, just a matter of time.

[HTC One Max] anthony123:
Have you down loaded the lastest fastboot from htc dev
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
From when did HTC start offering HBoot downloads?
[HTC One Max] lssong99:
Don't know why but I just cannot go S-Off with the 0.5 rumrunner.... Guess need to stay at unlocked and tempered for a whiled.

However, I think it's possible to activate the fingerprint scanner by XPosed module... Just disable the check on lock state could be the answer...

Anyone with right knowledge can do this for us?
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
i have been thinking of it.. logically, yes that what we need to do. Do you know an xposed Module which does that?

i was also wondering what command exactly the fingerprint code is using and i don't have any methods to find other than decrypting the code.. thats going to take lot of time
[HTC One Max] lssong99:
Actually I had published a small Xposed module myself to remove the ugly NFC logo on the status bar... so I know this will work but don't have time to do it... We need backsamli the finger print sensor related apk to find where it check for unlock (Maybe by searching for the strings indicating an unlocked BL, I remember seeing it somewhere as "HTCU" or similar), then use XPosed framework to override the checking method...

Not super complex but requires some time and patience....
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Where do you expect the code to be ? framework apk ? or common.jar ?
[HTC One Max] lssong99:
Good question! With stock oxdexed ROM it could be several places... I haven't yet spent a second looking into this...

Anyone have some time to spare?

I will donate $10 if anyone can do this...
[HTC One Max] jmz:
You know what I would try? Being unlocked and remove or rename /system/bin/hcheck

Myself and beaups found this to be the issue with the msm8930 line being stuck in a boot loop with s-off and BL unlock. They might have tied into the same methods of checking for this
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
Thanks for the idea. I tried it and it didn't work. First verified that my fingerprint reader was not working (as expected) and reboot. Then tried renaming hboot and rebooting again but it still fails on the 4th swipe. Then I tried deleting hcheck completely and rebooting but it still fails on the 4th swipe. Tried swiping both methods 3 times.
[HTC One Max] jmz:
Can you get a dmesg and logcat from a fresh boot and failed swipe
[HTC One Max] Namolas:
I would be happy to, however I've been trying to for the last hour and when I type adb logcat in the command window there are 1,000's of lines scrolling across the window and it never really stops and seems to be overwriting itself as it goes. How can I make sure I capture the relevant information for you and what would be the easiest method to deliver it to you?

Hi Guys,

i have a MDA Vario and I love that thing. But I recognized with the time.. that SMS are blocked. Over night I turn off my phone and when I turn it on the next morning, no message is coming. A lot of my friends asked me if i got their message last night.. They sent it to me after i have turned it off. And on the morning i didn´t got anything. No message.

Last week i registered myself on a Website where a SMS-Registration was necessary. I clicked on "send the Message". The MDA Vario blinked up.. and I expected that it will ring and signalize the message. But nothing. I never got a message. The SMS is lost till now. And i´m afraid that there are some more messages which got lost.

Does anyone recognized the same Problems like me? Or can anybody help me? :( :?:

Thx

Maresch
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PerchHog:
where are my new messages?

got the same problem. SMSs just stopped comming. i started using sprite backup - the only change in used programs.

hardresetted device works, but after restore: no go. even microsoft activesync backup restores settings with no SMS...

any thoughts on this?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] iDG:
This MAY NOT be your case, but...

Sometimes (although the "nice" people at Sprite Software won't recognize it), after restoring a backup made with sprite backup, the SMS inbox folder (and sometimes even other folders like draft and trash) stop working. The effect varies:

you may see "x messages unread" but the new messages are not visible.

you may never see new messages.

the new message notification can stop working, with or without the other symptoms.

recovering from this problem is difficult: the easiest way is, ofcourse, and hard reset. if you want, SMS Organizer can still extract the messages from the damaged database most of the times.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Irishfella:
SMS lost - not received

This is interesting - I have posted exactly the same behaviour - only some SMS received.

I can recreate the problem that you describe almost at will - It is not related to any backup software - it happens on a "virgin" XDA after hard reset without anything being loaded or even an Active sync attempted.

bottom line is: put your XDA in a spot where the reception is weak and switch it off. Send two messages to the phone. It will wake up trying to receive the first message. It will loose the network and re-aquire, but no SMS will be received. (although a confirmation message will be sent) - as it is awake now it will receive the second message. The first one will be lost forever.

I have upgraded ROM to no avail. I had it in for repair twice - still same problem. O2 has now agreed to exchange the unit. I will keep you posted.

My concern on reading this is, that this is an issue with the unit itself.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] knowsleyroader:
Certainly hope I dont have any issues as I send and receive a lot of sms messages and any kind of failure like this would mean the phone being sent back and contract cancelled unless I can find a different phone that interests me. Unlikely as I was only considering this or the XDA Exec.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jensen2112:
I'm having problem with my T989 using maybe with the latest Google Plus update from November 1.

I have tested many roms, and in everyone it keeps doing the same. I have use AoCP, Hellybean, PsiRom, PRO-Bam, IOKP.

I flash the roms using TWRP 2.6.1.0, I rm the preload, and I format everything else, the only thing I don't format is the micro sd. Next I reboot the twrp and I install su binary. Next I wipe again the already mentioned partitions, and I install the rom and gapps(if they are requiered).

Google plus is not updated to the latest version in the latest gapps package, neither google play services, neither play store. It happens when that three apps are updated.

I enter my google account, update google plus and I sign in, by some time both play services and play store are updated. Next to that I use the phone normal, move from here to here, reboot it, search apps, etc, and in a random time the phone reboot, it keeps rebooting, and before 30 seconds of the next complete boot, it keeps doing the same time over and over again. I wipe the cache and dalvik to see if something is wrong, and it still doing the same thing.

I don't know exactly if the problem is with Google Plus, Google play services, or with the latest Play Store version 4.4.21. But it gets annoying, I have use before google plus with 4.3, and now happen this. Is like google is making something in that latest version to make they don't work in our phones, or is a bug. I don't have any more phone, I can't test if it is my device, or that official latest versions.

Searching for this problem I test other things. I always use supersu(free and paid) as root manager, so I download it, install it, next I download system app remover and sd maid(free and paid). I remove google plus and other apps that I don’t use. I reboot. Next I configure sd maid in the corpsfinder options and I remove the things that remains of google plus and use the other cleaners and I reboot again. By this time the play store and play services was updated.

I proceed downloading google plus, it install, I enter my account, and before 3 minutes, it happen the same problem all over again.

Finally I found a way to use our phones without this happening. I do all the things that I already mention, I clean my phone with sd maid, reboot, but this time I have don't install google plus, now my phone works perfect in AoCP.

Any user that happen something like this?, there is a way to fix it?, my phone is almost dying? or we just need wait for an update of google?

Thanks! (btw sorry for my bad english).
