Hi guys, I have got a problem with my Phone.

About my Phone: Unlocked/S-OFF/Rooted/TRWP-Recovery and it is the S4 Version

HBoot: 2.15

Today I tried to install a new Rom, the Maximus HD 10.0.0

After I flashed the Rom, I started to flash the firmware. I followed all the instruction there are posted. So after I installed the Rom, I should download the install package.zip. I did that, rebooted to fastboot and tried to flash the firmware.zip. There was the first Error:

FAILED (Error:99 Unknow failure). After that I i search about this problem and found that my Phone (doesnt have any more an SD). I cant mount it to flash a new rom to bring the phone to work. I tried to mount the SD but cant. There is only standing USB OTG (0mb).

Please help me I dont know what to do... By the way sorry for my bad english

EDIT: Problem is fixed! Thread can be closed or deleted!

hi,

same problem here, but i cant fix. What did you do to solve?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
Hey guys. I posted in a different thread (can't remember which) that I emailed the HTCDev support team basically pitching a b*tch about the fact that Verizon's source has yet to be posted and that HTC is in violation of GPL. I was told it would be escalated and that was roughly a week ago.

I just received a call from HTCDev Support and they have informed me that Verizon's kernel source should be posted on HTCDev in the next day or so. Huzzah! Who said sending random b*tchy emails about stuff doesn't result in anything?

There ya go devs! official kernel source. Have at it! :good:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
I remember they said the same thing about the bolt years ago and still took forever to get them to release it. It's just a generic response to tell you what you want to hear. So you will leave them alone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
I just emailed them again saying that it still hasn't been posted after I received a phone call stating it would be "presently" and I made sure to inform them of the GPL violation again. If it isn't there by the time I get off work today (5 EST) then I am going to call the rep I spoke with and ask her what is taking so long. I made sure to get a direct contact number to the rep I spoke with. I'm a little pissed it still isn't there. 5 EST will be exactly 24 hours since I was told it would be posted and since she did say it could take a day I figured I'd give them at least 24 hours before I call and b*tch.

Sorry Breaking, it was only meant as a joke, I wasn't trying to mess with you. I was just surprised that you got an actual response from HTC that appeared that they were listening to their customers for once, and not just the typical form letter response you usually get.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] megaorange1:
Hey dude just wanted to let you know in some places it may or may not be illegal to record a conversation without the other parties consent.

In like two minutes of Google research I have come up with (Assuming you live in the US) that there are about 12 states that require the consent of both parties and about 38 states + D.C only requiring one party to consent.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-taking-aim-at-device-modders-in-android-4-4-kitkat/

This concerns me greatly as a kernel modder...

I am worried they aren't going to release the source code until the One gets the Kit-Kat update, thereby enforcing this dm-verity feature...my only hope is that there is a toggle for it in the source. We shall see.

Still havent heard back from HTC yet on my end, just this: "Thank you for providing this information. I have forwarded your request for the Kernel Source Code to our Specialist. They should be in contact with you within 7-10 business days. They may be in touch with you sooner. It just depends on their current work load as they work on a first come first serve basis. In the meantime, Bryan, I hope you enjoy your week!"
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
The issue with that is when they record conversations from customers calling in they don't ask for consent right? They just do it. I'm sure it's probably frowned upon. At this point, with how long they've basically not cared about violations of GPL with their refusal to release source, I don't care. Any excuse they try to give us will be BS. T-Mo and AT&T released source for their one. Both 4.1 and 4.1.2. When any of us email to complain about it we always get the same canned "We understand that kernel source code is valuable and essential for all developers..." blah blah blah. They know but they don't care enough to release it. I'm tired of it. I appreciate the warning and I will delete the part about me recording the convo but honestly I shouldn't have had to even felt the need. I had a feeling it was possible they would try to blow smoke up my @$$ and attempt to placate me and say it was being released soon so I wanted documentation. They don't offer transcripts of the conversations freely when you speak to them. Essentially they can say anything they please and not be held accountable for it and that is the exact opposite of customer service and support that HTC likes to claim they pride themselves on. Customer service and support doesn't end at device purchase. You can't claim to be developer friendly and then deny the very thing developers need to develop on the platform.

HTC clearly made one of the best android smartphones of all time. I just wish they would actually support the dev community since, you know, they're "Developer Friendly". Sorry for the rant but I'm tired of waiting... and waiting... and receiving "we know it's important" email responses.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
Yeah I saw that when that story broke on the main XDA page. It seems very anti android. I found it odd Google would be taking that stance.

The response is the first response I received. Then it was exactly a week and I received that phone call last night saying it would be released. I just checked AGAIN and it has yet to be uploaded to HTCDev. I will be calling them and inquiring about it after I get off work as that would be exactly 24 hours since I received their call. Not happy. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
No man it was my fault. I reacted poorly. I took it the wrong way. Sorry.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] AznInertia:
I went to the HTCDEV website and looked for kernel source code but wasn't able to find ANYTHING for Verizon's HTC One. I think they just said that as a blanketed response. Hopefully we get the source code this month when they release 4.3
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
If that's the case it doesn't make sense. If that's all they were going to do then why even call period? It's a waste of their time and mine. That's an asinine method of customer support. I'd rather them not even call. I didn't expect a call. I expected the "escalation" to be the end of it. This is frustrating as hell. I'm calling them this evening and I will point-blank ask if they ever truly intended to release source or if they were just telling me what I want to hear to shut me up. That line of thinking is idiotic. You tell someone that, when honestly you don't have to (even if HTC wants them to it makes no sense), they are going to follow up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cesium:
Almost always taken care of with the message 'this call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes'

EDIT: by not hanging up you give consent to the potential recording
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
Stating the call may or may not be recorded isn't asking for consent, which was my point. So essentially all I would have to say to HTC is that I may or may not record the call for training purposes and that legally absolves me of anything? Gotta love the american justice system. Give vague hypotheticals and you're golden.

I'm not attacking your comment cesium but just defending my point that saying you might record a convo isnt asking for consent from either party actually. If the law states that only one party has to consent depending on what state they're in, just saying you might record someone isn't even HTC saying they consent. Its saying they might. They should just say the call IS being recorded. They don't. Semantics I know, but its a valid point.

K I took this way off topic. I'm going to place a call to HTC here soon. I'll update you all when I'm done.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Also the world is ending tomorrow... He he.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sadboyzz:
Regardless of Kit-Kat they are still required to release the source for the 4.2.2 kernel currently shipped with their phones. They can't just "skip" this version if that's what you're implying. Because they shipped software containing GPL code they must provide the source corresponding to the binary period. They are in fact in violation of the GPL since the day they started selling this phone. HTC has always been one of the more notorious violators of GPL, and unless some powerful enough entity threatens legal action, nothing's going to change.

On a separate note, the dm-verity feature has nothing to do with you if you already have the ability to run your own kernel. That is just to make it harder to find exploits in devices that are meant to be locked down.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
I understand that you're pissed; it doesn't feel good to get lied to. I am also frustrated with HTC's BS excuses on why they haven't released kernel source.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] woznet:
This is coming from Wikipedia, Telephone recording laws

I wouldnt say "I may or may not record the call for training purposes" that sounds rude in my opinion and rude is the last thing you want to be to HTC when you are trying to get them to do something. If you live in one of the states where you need both parties consent before you can legally record the telephone conversation, I think saying something like "Do you mind if I record this conversation?" would work just fine, if they ask why, you can tell them then but I doubt they would ask, I mean they are recording the call themselves.

Depending on where you are calling from you might not even have to let them know you are recording the phone call, a good amount of states only require 1 party to consent to recording phone conversation.

All Party Consent States:

- California, Connecticut , Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington

1 Party Consent State:

- All other states includes Washington DC

Good luck with the phone call, I think it is good what you are doing, the Verizon HTC One community here would have another great tool at our disposal, the source for the kernel is hopefully going to get us some better battery life and the ability to make the HTC logo on the phone into a button.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] smartguy044:
well maybe they will release the code soon so we can start making some good kernels for sense. If not i might just have to take the dive into aosp which i surprisingly havent done yet with this phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DHowett:
That brings up an interesting question: Is all-party consent binding over only a single party's right to record? Like, do X and Y consent for X to record the call--or, do X and Y consent that the call shall be recorded?

If the latter, their statement that the call may be recorded constitutes their consent, and you staying on the line constitutes your consent. You can therefore, as you have the consent of both parties already, record the call without legal malfeasance.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
I placed the call to HTC last evening but RL crap came up and couldn't update you all until now. I asked what the cause of the delay in posting the source that I was informed would be there. I was told it would be posted soon. I asked for a more solid time-frame and was told to just keep checking htcdev and it would be very soon. Very vague responses and they got me a little peeved so I asked why HTC seems content in knowingly violating GPL by not releasing source that was supposed to be released in a timely manner once the device launched and was told that HTC has posted AT&T and T-Mobile source fairly quickly after their devices launched. I responded by saying that AT&T and T-Mobile source isn't what I have been inquiring about and that it's been several months since the VZW variant launched and the delay in source release is bordering on the absurd. She told me she understands why I am frustrated over this and that it is out of her control but that the source is to be posted soon. I wish I had better information, more concrete information, but I don't. I'm not letting this go. They will be sick of me by the time they release it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
Here is my latest email to HTCDev that I just sent:

I am writing to inquire about the time frame of kernel source release for the Verizon HTC One. I received a call from HTCDev support this week and was told that kernel source would be posted for my device after being escalated. It has yet to be posted on the site and HTC is in clear violation of GPL as I and many others have stated. Since I was informed by HTCDev that source WOULD be released for my device I would like an updated time-frame as to when I can expect it to be released. GPL violation isn't something that HTC wants to play around with. There is no reason whatsoever that kernel source shouldn't be made available and per GPL it HAS to be made available. Souce has been posted for AT&T and T-Mobile. Verizon's variant has been out for several months now. Source needs to be made available. HTC is supposed to be developer friendly. Your competition releases their's almost instantly (Samsung). I love the device but will not be buying HTC again if source isnt released.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 91ludesit:
Lol you guys aren't going to get the source. HTC is evading you. This is all because of Verizon. Don't blame HTC for the lack of kernel source.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
Heres the response:

Thank you for contacting HTC Tech support.

I have verified your information and it has been already escalated, the team will be contacting you as soon as possible to address your request. I do not have an estimated time since your case is been handled by another department.

Let me thank you for your time and patience. I wish you a great day!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
So we should just forget about it? Not happening. HTC is in violation of GPL. That's the bottom line. If HTCDev is in fact being held up by Verizon then they shouldn't inform consumers the source is to be released soon. That makes them accountable.

And for the record Samsung has released vzw open source for the galaxy line.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 91ludesit:
And who is gonna take them to court over the gpl violation?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
You can be content in standing around and giving up on it. I'm not. Have a good one
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
The last thing you should do, is give up, if you ever wanna see it released.

I went through this same process just earlier this year, in order to acquire the ICS source for the HTC Thunderbolt.

I made multiple email and telephone inquiries.

I got a ticket number and had it escalated to their special teams department.

They then sent off a request to the developers in Taiwan to get it packaged up and posted.

It truly was my following through with it, that got it to be finally released and posted publicly.

I have also been going through this same process again with HTC and the Vzw One lately and it should be here soon...I know how vague that sounds.

This was one of the final replies I got from the HTC representative that I was dealing with back and forth, to get this done for the Bolt:

So it did pay off in the end.

Did I get anywhere on the first, second, or third attempt? No, but by the time I was done with them, I got what I was after. :)

Keep at them and it will happen, I am doing my part. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] azndan2:
Thanks to everyone who has been continuing to contact them.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
Don't let up guys. Keep emailing and calling. Press the issue. Clearly its the only way we are going to get them to release source. I'm glad all of you are fighting for it with me. XDA community is the best. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
They will release it when they feel ready. You really think your *****ing is going to get it released anytime soon? They get complaint calls day in and day out. Why do you think they have canned responses. I agree it's Verizon holding up everything like Verizon always do. Most so-called escalated tickets don't leave the person's deck that says he or she will escalate . Why people ask to speak to a superior. Hey if it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside more power to you. Just remember when you get off the phone with them they are making fun of you. Plus I am shocked they have never said why do you need a source when you own a locked down phone that isn't authorized to be unlocked?.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
The only thing we can do, no matter how futile, is contact them. Make me feel better? Yes. Will it do any good? Probably not in the long run. But at least we voiced our concerns.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
Anytime I deal with them looking for source, I start out by asking to have it escalated. (I don't wait or beat around the bush)

There is no point in feeding me routine responses as they do not suffice and I let them know this right away.

After asking to have it escalated, you should then get another standard response, which goes like this, and yes this is part of actually getting it done:

If you do not at least reply to the initial ticket number response they sent you, it will never amount to anything.

In the reply with the ticket number they send you, is a link to respond again or a link to say your question was resolved.

Click the response link, so that you can ask to have it elevated, then fill out the info they ask for in the next reply and keep at it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brymaster5000:
I have done that. My initial comment asked them to give me the source of they weren't going to post it publicly yet.

I gave them the software, hboot, kernel #, etc. I received an email that they sent it along and I got a response from ge_service@HTC.com that was just "______"...

So it seems like it was passed on from the customer service desk, but not sure what that response means.
