[Nexus 7 General] GedBlake:
Hi, masprague...

Just to clarify... do you mean going from a Custom ROM (such as PA) to official Factory Stock (such as KitKat)... without loosing root?

Not possible, I'm afraid:(.

And further, you can't apply an OTA to a Custom ROM anyway. OTA's are intended to

update only

the current version of Factory Stock Android to the latest version of Factory Stock Android.

If I understand your post correctly, you'll need to download the full KitKat factory image (download link in my sig), and fastboot flash it.

Afterward, if you wish to re-root... you'll need to fastboot flash a Custom Recovery, such as TWRP or CWM... and then using that Custom Recovery, flash Chainfires latest SuperSU root updater .zip.

Be aware though, that fastboot flashing the full KitKit factory image will wipe your device... so before doing any of this, you'll need to backup all of your apps & their associated data using Titanium, and then fully backup the entire contents of your Nexus 7 to your PC.

Rgrds,

Ged.

Hi guys,

So today I got the 4.4 OTA update on my HTC One M7.

Of course I downloaded it and the phone entered into boot loop - "No command" and "Error".

Via pressing POWER + VOLUME DOWN I entered into the service screen, where I have the following options:

***LOCKER***

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-GOOGL001

HBOOT-1.54.0000

RADIO-4A.18.3263.15

OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617

OS-3.07.1700.1

eMMC-boot 2048 MB

Aug 19 2013, 21:01:47.0

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

IMAGECRC

SHOW BARCODE

I have tried doing FACTORY reset, but to no luck the phone goes into Erasing mode and then again into the "No command" and "Error" loop.

I don't have the htc one USB drivers currently on my Windows 8.1 laptop.

Could you advice me how to proceed.

Thanks in advance.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bigperm71:
Hello all,

I've played with Cyanogenmod the last month, so right now I have that along with ClockworkMod. At this point I'm probably going back to the standard ROM (via a backup I made), but the one thing I can't track down is how to get the stock recovery back onto the phone. It seems to be available for every carrier except Verizon. Once I'm back on the stock ROM, I'd like to be able to install the upcoming OTA update, and I know that is a no-go with the custom recovery.

Thanks for any help.

[HTC One S] DRUMROT:
I've been having issues with all sound dropping out on various ROMs and I don't recall this happening on any pre-3.4 kernel based ROMs.

All the download links in the threads for 4.2.2 ROMs are now dead so I was wondering if anyone has an old file kicking around? Or know where I could find one? My hard drive died a while back and it seems everything since then has been 3.4 based so I no longer have any 3.0 ROMs on my computer that I can try myself.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC One S] PandaPower:
man, people prefer 3.4 and u want to go back to 3.0 lol
[HTC One S] DRUMROT:
Haha, yeah, I know. But when your phone has no sound whatsoever, it ceases to be useful. Can't remember that happenign to me on 3.0 so I figured I'd check it out.

Also, not too sure what the big deal is with 3.4. When it first came out, there was the wake lag, then that was fixed but bootloops became an issue. The 3.0 ROMs were more reliable for me in general, just not as up to date.

EDIT: Your first post ever was to tell me that? Haha

No sound issues so far but I keep getting random soft reboots and apps constantly closing (no error or pop up), Cleared caches in recovery. Anything special I'm supposed to do after flashing this? I'm so close to having a working phone again, this ROM seems likes my best bet...but now it's giving me other issues.

Thank you for your time.

Try changing skin on the phone and then change it back also for soft reboots what works for me is uninstallin kernel Turner and reinstalling and applying settings again

[HTC One S] Darknites:
I have a blackbean build with the 3.0 kernel.
[HTC One S] DRUMROT:
OK, been busy all weekend so here's my findings:

I was able to get Liquid Smooth working using the Bubba Vn5 kernel. That was the first step.

Then I had to give it time and see if my audio dropped - and it did. So the 3.4 kernel doesn't seem to be the issue.

So I ran a logcat and while not completely versed in what to look for, I did find some audio errors relating to the audiopolicy manager, and tone generator and soundpool. Did a bit of searching and seems it could have to do with my firmware, which, of course, was also switched when I changed to the 3.4 kernel. I'm going to try reflashing 2.15 and maybe upgrade to 2.16 if that doesn't work. If neither work, I'll have to see about downgrading, but since I don't have a lower flashable zip, I'll have to mess around with an RUU so hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Thanks to everyone. At the very least, you're helping me eliminate possible causes.

If I can get my sound back I'll probably be sticking with a 3.0 based rom as at the very least I'm not constantly plagued by bootloops so I'll gladly take your copy of blackbean if you don't mind. Just another option for me to flash :)

p.s: my logcat should be attached. If anyone has experience with reading them, it would be greatly appreciated if you could take a look and see if anything stands out. Thanks again to everybody.
[HTC One S] DRUMROT:
Ok, so I managed to extract the ruu using a script and flashed the rom.zip via fastboot. I am now on hboot 1.13, running LS v2.4 with bubba vn5 (3.0 kernel) and am still without sound. Logcat shows the same errors as the one I posted above (not sure exactly what they mean, but they are audio related from what I can tell.

Since I have ruled out everything I can think of on the software side, could this possible be a hardware issue?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Just here dude and looking at logcat to me look like you got no drivers or no sound hardware, not like that's any use to you.
[HTC One S] DRUMROT:
Thanks, based on my searches, it seemed like every older ROM had dead links.

No drivers or sound hardware, huh? So something isn't right, haha. I've had sound at points so I assume there must be something up with how the software interacts with the hardware or my hardware isn't stable and works only from time to time.

Not what I wanted to hear but what can ya do? I've posted this in the Q and A forum as well, see if I can get some more info. Thanks though.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Ya I'm in no rush to delete it. I would go with an hardware issue but have you tried a Sense rom?
[HTC One S] DRUMROT:
Got it downloaded :)

I've tried the newer, 4.2.2 Sense ROMs and while not entirely sure (I wasn't really looking for the sound issue at the time) I recall it happening on them, too.

But I'm going to try the old ViperOneS 4.1.2 ROM because I know that I had no issues at all back when I was using that. If it's still present, I'm going to assume it's a hardware fault and I'll have to try and unroot, s-on, go back to stock, achange my CID and all that crap and see if I can't get it replaced.

Thanks for your help.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
If you still have issue then ya send it back but remember to use an RUU before S-On.
[HTC One S] DRUMROT:
Yeah, I'm too anal to not read things 50 times before attempting it so I'll check out some guides and everything before I try to go back to stock.

Thanks again.

You can root any device because you can upload and execute a blob but it's only possible to do this in /data/local/tmp folder.

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before when Xperia Z was released early this year. It was petty bad compares to latest firmwares. Few people tried improving this with different camera apps and build prop editing etc. And we all came to the conclusion only Sony has the ability to fully improve the XZ camera. You may notice better picture quality with different camera apps due to iso profiles and other colour setting handled by specific third party camera apps. But the jpeg compression and other things still remains unchanged as they are depends on camera libs which is closed source and only Sony can improve them ;)

Hey guys. I was using my phone to check email, browse facebook, normal stuff. When all of the sudden it emitted a high-pitch squeal and shut off. That was an hour ago. I've been unable to get it to come back on. If i pull the battery and reinsert, it'll show the Samsung logo before beginning and endless series of vibration pulses. It won't stop unless I pull the battery. I've tried getting into recovery, no luck. I tried putting it into Odin mode, but as soon as the Odin screen loaded, the phone went black and back into the vibration pulsing. I've tried pulling the SIM, memory card, new batteries, anything I can think of. I've got plenty of backups on my SD card, so wiping it isn't an issue if i could just get to a recovery screen.
