[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lostnsound:
So here's my story. I bought my VZW HTC One on day one. Brought it home and immediately unlocked (via HTCDev) and rooted it before Verizon blocked the unlock the next day. So I am bootloader unlocked, rooted, and S-ON. Now here is where I screwed up in two areas. The first being that I think I have somehow over written the original stock recovery with my Frankenstein one. So the Frankenstein one is that I originally had an HTC Incredible 2 unlocked, rooted, and S-OFF and I took my last full TitaniumBackup from the Inc2 and restored it to the new HTC One. The problem with doing this was the backed up system files from the Inc2 were applied to the One and now it causes some strange crashes when using some of the HTC sense apps such as HTC's contact list. However in this strange setup most everything works perfectly and I've left it this way since that first day. The other annoyance here is that I keep getting reminded to install some of the OTA updates that have come out but it will not install them so I've missed them all and it stills keeps alerting me to install them.

Now what would I like to do from here? I would like to be able to keep root, keep unlock, gain S-OFF and start over with stock rom and be able to get the OTA updates (if possible). This way I can still get back to the backups I have made in Titanium, only this time instead of restoring all, I would only restore hand picked apps, leaving out the old Inc2 system files. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to help me with step-by-step detailed instructions? I would greatly appreciate it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
I would

1) flash the signed RUU (not 100% necessary)

1a) Gain S-OFF using rumrunner (it supports ALL versions, so just download the correct one, I am assuming 1.10.605.8 as you said you missed the two OTA updates)

2) Once you are S-OFF, go into fastboot, and fastboot flash the stock recovery.

3) Now that you are S-OFF and on the stock recovery you may take the OTA (Or just flash a ROM such as Santod040's that is based on it, that's what you do when rooted, NEVER take an OTA just wait for ROM DEVs, but these two OTA's have been deemed OK and doesn't touch root)

I don't know a thing about Titanium backup, sorry.

Best to start fresh on the HTC One, IMHO.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lostnsound:
Thanks so much for the response! This is very helpful. One question though, after getting S-OFF from Rumrunner you say to flash stock recovery. I'm not sure if it is still intact or not. Can I just proceed with flashing the ROM or is it absolutely necessary to flash stock recovery first?

#2 is not necessary. The RUU will flash a stock recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
sorry guys, was late. def no need to re-flash stock recovery after RUU. Noob mistake, my apologies
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lostnsound:
OK, I'm not very familiar with RUU's. Where does this come from? A quick search in the forum yielded a list of a bunch of them. I'm not sure which one is the right one. To me they don't look any different from custom ROMs. Sorry for being a noob, still learning how all this works.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jvasquezhhi:
when you go into fastboot mode on your phone read and see what the radio you have... and based on that number you could get rumrunner and also you can get the right RUU i dont know if the RUU will relock the phone tho but i think you can unlock it if you saved the tocken in case you dont want to get s-off

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papperlapapp:
Some phone makers like Sony provide an official way to e.g. unlock the boot loader.

I just wonder, why the heck don´t phone makers also provide an official way to get root access on your phone!?

I mean, they could say "we give you an easy and official way to get root, but you will lose your warranty". It is about choice, why don´t they give us the choice?

I like the way Sony provides an easy and official way to unlock the boot loader. You give your IMEI and they give you a code to unlock the boot loader.

They could do it exactly the same way to get root access. No more hacks needed.

If the phone makers are reluctant to give us easy and official way for root, why is Google also reluctant to give us this right?

Google could easily include an easy way into Android to give users easiely root access if they want to and know, what they do.

This is like Microsoft hiding the real administrator account from users.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gjohnson7771:
OK, I've been doing this for a while but was thinking this could be an issue. I usually SWP Roms pretty often, but lately have been just upgrading to the latest Purity ROM when available. Before I upgrade I do a full titanium back up with titanium pro. I factory reset my phone, install ROM, gapps, and custom kernel. I go through the normal Google setup and make sure titanium downloads as quickly as possible. Then I restore apps and system data from backup. I'm wondering if it actually defeats the purpose of the factory reset if I am restoring system data. Should I change my process?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berrydroidcafe:
If you are just upgrading/updating the rom that's already installed, normally it's ok to dirty flash. When I do that, I normally wipe the cache and dalvik via recovery then flash the new version. If the devs say not to dirty flash and to do a full wipe (not the sdcard), then I would go with what they say to do.

Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adil1508:
Titanium backs up the system apps. ( although I only backup the user apps ) And when u wipe everything from the recovery, you are basically wiping away the rom. So I dont think it 'defeats the purpose' .

Just some advice, I have run into problems with titanium restoring system apps and data, so I recommend u just backup the user apps. And if u are updating the rom, its ok to dirty flash ( flash without wiping data )
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pisces1529:
It recommended to only backup user data apps only as once you changed to other ROM, the system data app might cause issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaylanPHNX:
When upgrading to a newer version of the same ROM, save yourself the time and just dirty flash. But do make the backups in case anything goes wrong. If you have issues after a dirty flash, just try a clean flash.

Tablet then reboots directly to download mode. Unable to enter newly installed recovery, unable to shutdown.

Retried several times to same result.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
Are you doing the right key combo to get to recovery? Restart tab, as soon as the 8.9 logo pops up, press and hold volume down (the one closer to the power button). When bootloader screen comes up press volume down one more time to select recovery, and volume up once to select. Sorry if this is obvious, just wanted to make sure.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] tangene:
Correct me if I'm wrong but power+vol down basically brings you to a screen where you're given a choice

between download mode (denoted by a blinking green Andy) and recovery mode (Andy coming out of a box).

I select recovery, tried all buttons, no response. The "icon" flashes for a moment when key is pressed but

nothing happens.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
That's correct. It sounds like your bootlader might be borked. Unfortunately, idk how to flash a new one without a working recovery. Sorry.

You might be able to flash a bootloader.zip in odin as a pda. I have never tried this, and I have no idea if it will work, or if it will further break your tab.

Am I correct that you have a p7300? If it is a p7300 or a p7310, this is the right bootloader:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
I read some replies about flashing this bootloader, and it seems like it works

but I noticed that [MENTION=2426812]kallt_kaffe[/MENTION] mentioned that you should flash the bootloader using the bootloader option instead of the PDA:

so I'am not sure but I think you should try to use the bootloader option first

good luck :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] tangene:
Thanks for all the help I've gotten from both of you, I've managed to get CWM to work on my tab.

Now what? How exactly would I fix my problem using CWM from this point forward and what files would I need to do so?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
Flashing the bootloader was the solution ???

I can think of two things

ether you should try to flash a stock Tar ROM by Odin

or you should transfer any flashable Zip ROM by USB adb connection and flash it through CWM
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] tangene:
Actually I'm not sure whether it's the bootloader OR the fact that I switched to a laptop and a different USB from the one I was

using before.

That said, I have tried flashing the ROM you gave me the link to in mail. Didn't work. As before the installation completed only to be stuck at

the Samsung logo upon reboot.

How would I proceed with the flashable zip ROM USB adb thing with CWM? And what files would I need? Pardon my ignorance but I'm just

pretty new to all this.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
You need to use cwm to flash a custom rom. There are several in the android development section. You need to download the rom.zip and gapps.zip from one of those threads, and put them on the internal storage of your tab. Hopefully, when you hook it up to a pc it will pop up as a media player or storage device, and you can just drag and drop them on there. If not, you may need to set up adb and push the files over to the tab.

Once you get the files on there, normally one would do a nandroid backup. In your case, without a working rom, I don't think that will be usefull. You need to wipe (format) system, data, cache, and dalvik, then install the rom.zip, then the gapps.zip.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] TwinCalibre:
I am having similar issues with my tab, flashed an official rom from sam mobile through odin, just hangs on the samsung boot screen. Could it be a boot loader issue?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] tangene:
Device doesn't register as a storage device. No idea how to push files over with ADB or even how I would access ADB with

the Samsung 8.9. Could someone take the trouble to give me some step-by-step idiot proof instruction I could follow?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
Ok, sorry for being late, I was collecting information and doing some experiences

on my tab to get all the details you need

So, to transfer a file through adb USB connection while in recovery you should

Install ADB Drivers and use the ADBGUI to copy the files to the tab

First of all mount /sdcard from the mount and unmount section in CWM, connect your tab through USB cable while in CWM and then

when you open the ADBGUI tool it should automatically detect your tab and show you figures like number 1 in the screenshot:

If you see any figures in the same place, then your device is connected through adb

now open the Basic Commands tab (number 2)

Select File and browse it to the ROM.Zip you want to flash (number 3)

[it is recommended to be small file cuz you might need to do this more than once]

I use for this matter a Stripped CM9 (67MB) just to boot and then I transfer through normal USB any ROM I want

write (/sdcard) in (number 4) to guide the tool to put the file on the sdcard

click Push File (number 5) and wait for 2 - 6 minutes [it depends on the size of the file]

now the file should be on your sdcard

just flash it and reboot

I hope I am not exaggerating in this guide :cowboy:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] TwinCalibre:
Hey All,

Just managed to get mine to stock! :). I was having the issue of it hanging on the Samsung Boot screen, but I managed to fix this by, flashing CWM through odin AFTER flashing the stock rom. Then entering CWM and doing a factory reset/wipe and wiping dalvik cache. Tablet booted perfectly into stock 4.04! Now just need to flash stock recovery and everything is back to stock
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] OmarEinea:
That was easy,,,,

I created This Zip from the last Stock Framewok

you just need to flash it through CWM

Note: this is a stock kernel so you if you install it you won't be able to flash anything anymore

but you'll still be able to enter it and do wipe data and cache only

Enjoy

I'll donate 50$ to the first person to release a bootable AOSP/CM ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
I would like to think that works, but I hardly see the value of conditional contributions for work on this scale. I'm not one to think that only one means can accomplish an end, but to me that's an awfully small amount of money when assayed against the work involved.

I've seen AOSP builds done where the dev accepts no donations whatsoever. They do it for the sake of doing. I've seen it done where the dev accepts donations, but I'm unclear as to whether a bounty was the impetus.

I believe that time is the primary driver here. In time, an AOSP dev will take on this phone as a personal hell. Then you shall have your AOSP rom, and I'd suggest tossing the fifty at the man doing the unbelievable amount of labor involved. Perhaps offer to test, as well.

As noted, I hope I'm wrong.

I'm coming to Note 3 from HTC EVO LTE and from what I see, development is way behind, not even worth rooting this phone at this point. There's a couple of roms out there, but there seems to be a lot of uncertainty on how to do things here. Maybe it's just me though...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
It's an outstanding group. We have some of the best devs on xda. It's a new phone, and I am proud of what has been accomplished. If the development work is at an unsatisfying level for you, then move on, please, and I wish you well. I hope you find that for which you seek.

And yes, I understand it's a new phone and it takes time. But I do appreciate what the devs do, it was not my intention to bust on anyone...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Didn't think you were. I was, however, putting my thoughts out there for you and for the devs that work their butts off. Whether you meant to give offense is of less concern to me than those whom might have received it as such.

I do think that the observation is harbored by many, but I think the situation is as good as one could hope. Consider that this is a CDMA device, on the 3rd largest network, and a niche phone. It explains a lot of what you've duly noted. I think, relatively speaking, the level of development is quite strong, and will get much better with the passing of the new year.

Ultimately, I'm glad you are enjoying the phone.

To be honest, I could take or leave AOSP. On my Note 2, I would flash an AOSP ROM but would soon start to miss some of the TW features that were native to Samsung phones. Sure there were some third party apps that did some of the Spen functionality, but none were as good as what Samsung did. I actually like the Samsung camera as well.

For some, saying "Pure Android is the only way to go man..." is a little silly to me. Those people are starting to become the Apple people of the Android world.

For me, installing one of the amazing Roms already here so I can customize what I want on the phone, plus a stock looking launcher like Nova equals the best of both worlds: The cool functionality of Touchwiz with the clean look of stock Android.
