[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
So you think the problem is that your software is upgraded and not your firmware? If so, you can solve that by dowgrading your software. If you can't find an updated RUU (nothing except a signed file from HTC should be called a RUU), there is still a solution:

- Find a system dump from a phone that is your CID and the version of Android you want. It will be a CWM or TWRP backup.

- Flash the appropriate custom recovery.

- Push the files to your phone in the appropriate directory (you may need to make a backup just to see what the right directory is).

- Restore the backup you just pushed to your phone.

Then factory reset and install the stock recovery. You may need to re-lock the bootloader (I'm not sure). Try to get the correct OTA. If you can't find it, try to download one and save as /sdcard/update.zip. Use the stock recovery to flash it. (You'll need to search for instructions on how to do that. It involves key combinations.) Finally, unlock the bootloader, make a backup, and (optionally) root. Don't install a custom kernel. If your problem persists, you likely have a hardware problem.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT@sTy:
Thanks for your reply.

I have no idea if its software/firmware but its showing its on 4.3. I was speculating on the radio possibly needing to be reflashed due to one comment I read on a forum I randomly came across?

So I could use my very first backup I used through TWRP and push that to the phone?

While I am fairly new to Android(had to switch for the HTC ONE), I have been around idevices for a long time and have learnt to always keep multiple backups just in case :P

I left the bootloader unlocked as most guides say that you don't need to have it locked to get the OTA. I actually tried to find the manual OTA file and do it the way you suggested but at the time I had no luck.

I'll see what I can accomplish tonight.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT@sTy:
Apologies on the noobness in regards to RUU.

Is it possible to use a RUU for lets say T-Mobile on an international variant? I see HTC released an RUU for T-Mobile for 4.3 but as far as I can see there isn't any others.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
That's the first thing I'd try, yes. But I'm guessing just as much as you are.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT@sTy:
Hahahaha Well I trust your guess way more then mine :P

Would I need s-off to copy the previous backup back onto the phone or would I only need s-off if I had to push something to system(which I do not need to do)?

I tried last night to run rumrunner and it continually failed and basically told me I had 2 different scenarios to resolve it(the following is coming from memory and its very hazy). One was to use a different kernel and the other was to use another ROM, but that wasn't the preferred option.

At work now so will try and restore my original backup tonight at home. Thanks for your help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Sorry for my late response. You only need s-off to flash firmware that is older, for a different phone CID, or modified by a third party. Or to change other hidden partitions, like to modify the "TAMPERED" flag or to change the CID. Unlocking the bootloader is for changing partitions from fastboot mode: recovery, and maybe also system and boot. You do not need an unlocked bootloader to change these partitions from recovery if you already have a custom recovery installed. (You can definitely modify system and boot, but I'm not sure about modifying recovery with a locked bootloader.)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT@sTy:
No need to apologise, I'm just happy that someone has been able to assist me.

I have used one of my previous TWRP backups, unfortunately I couldn't use my very very first one as it was missing some files, it obviously didn't copy it all across for some reason :(

I now have my EMEI back (woohoo) but I think the backup I used has something wrong in the kernel as I think it has bulletproof installed. I am going to return it to stock but following a procedure here as I need to return it to HTC as the phone will not read any sim cards. I have tried 3 different sim cards and have also tested them in a firends HTC ONE and they all work in his. SO it looks like I do have an actual hardware issue with the phone which isn't cool just before Xmas.

I already have major withdrawals from being able to play ingress :crying:

Thanks heaps for your help.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Comet1966:
If I flash the stock recovery, and re-lock the bootloader while having S-OFF could I take any OTA update, and still be able to unlock the bootloader and root? Would it keep S-OFF?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
There is no need to take the OTA if you are S-OFF.

Then again there is

NEVER

a need to take an OTA.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Comet1966:
Alrighty, so your a developer, how long do you think it would take to make the firmware available for us non-ota takers? I am just having troubles out of the 4.3 update. Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
Usually, after an update rolls out, someone puts out a flashable for s-off users the same day, maybe the next day, as soon as they have the download zip.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Lol I'm not a developer, the firmware is usually available withing 24 hours after we get the update.

What do you mean you are having troubles?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] eurominican:
To all the outstanding devs that work on the Sprint Note 3, could you please take a look at why the Note 3 does not send metadata through bluetooth for streaming apps such as pandora, tune in radio, spotify etc but will do it with no problem for the stock Music app, google play music and even the gallery app when playing a video? Heres some links with more details of the issue. NOTE: I just ODIN back to full stock MJ4 to confirm the problem is not related to ROMS / rooting, and issue still persist in full stock.

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1374250#post1374250

3rd link has the best info about were the problem is coming from. The developer for that app had to do a hack for the metadata to send: “Previous release of XiiaLive we decided to disable the Bluetooth AVRCP metadata "HACK" for Android versions 4.3 and greater. The reason was that since Android 4.3 Android OS made some APIs available to send metadata over Bluetooth using a legit API. However, it seems that some devices fail to properly support the new APIs and for that reason we have re-enabled the "HACK" on the latest release.”

I installed the app version the dev posted there and the app does send the metadata! This confirms theres something wrong with the software on the Note 3, and it looks like its happening on all the variants (see here and here).

It would be sooo awesome if some one is able to fix this!! I cant believe Samsung botched this!!!! I have a big urge to get a Nexus 5...

By the way, it would be great if someone could confirm or deny having this issue. I have a Scion FRS and the wife a Mazda CX5 and this happens on both vehicles, but her iphone 5 works just fine and also Galaxy tab 10.1 sends metadata perfectly.

[Moto X General] dtrud0h:
This post is to try to sort out the questions, concerns and troubles that users come up against when using.the "SlapMyMoto" rooting method to gain "Root" on the Moto X.

[Question]What happened to my "Recovery"--

[ANSWER]- It's gone. There's no "Recovery". Now you have read/write access to /system instead of a recovery. Your system will boot normally, except /system will be read-write accessible.

[Question ] - Can I flash Xxx-xxx.zip through recovery like it says here - xxxxxx.com/yada/yada/instructions (with link to. Zip file) .com

[Answer] No.

[Question ] Why not?

[Answer] Because you have a "Custom" Recovery that does nothing more than provide read-write access. to the /system partition , ..period.

[Question] -- Can I use some other"Recovery"?

[Answer ] -- ? DUNNO? Maybe jcase will chime in and clarify that. As it stands, maybe the 4.4 recovery, don't know for sure what it will do to your root. Whether it is the 4.4, or 4.2 recovery, without unlocking your Boot loader it will have to be a signed. zip file for system security.

Where else can I turn for answers?

Hopefully, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538896
