[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppdebie:
I''ve asked this question in the Nexus 5 subforum too, but I am actually not sure it has anything to do with the device, more with apps.

Twice in the last days, I have gotten a spoken add on my Nexus 5, running stock 4.4.2.

Message is something like:

"YOU HAVE WON A FREE APP, SHAKE YOUR PHONE NOW TO GET YOUR FREE APP"

Even putting it down or a slight hand tremble will throw me towards the market where I see an app. Nothing shocking, but I have no clue what app is doing this. The first time I think I was working in the Gmail app, second time I was in Kik. Does anyone know how I can track which app is doing this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] floodx4:
So I am a little (a lot) scared to touch my new phone.

I recently acquired an AT&T One X, and it is currently rooted, and running CleanROM 6.5.0. I don't have the history of the device, so I am not sure how its previous owner got it to here, and what the safest steps would be to get it back to pure stock.

I am not worried about resetting the tamper indication or warranty issues. I just would like to get back to the stock AT&T software, and then I can go from there getting it where I want it.

The phone has TWRP Recovery, but had no recovery images. I have made a recovery for where it is at currently.

Bootloader currently shows:

*** LOCKED ***

EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

CID- 11111111

HBOOT-2.15.0000

RADIO -0.24p.32.09.06

OpenDSP-v34.1.0.45.1219

eMMC-boot

I would say my skill level with phones is "moderate". I at least know enough to not mess with something if I am not 100% sure.

So, from what I am seeing, the phone is S-on, and bootloader is locked, and I have superCID, so I should be able to just flash the proper RUU?

Or, is there anything else I need to do first?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Absolutely do not run an RUU while s-on, SuperCID + s-on + RUU = bricked phone. Where did you read that you can run an RUU with that combination? It's completely untrue. You can't run any RUU anyway, there are no RUUs after your current firmware version and you can't RUU backwards while s-on.

May I ask why you want to return it to a stock at&t ROM though? There is really no benefit of doing so, it's seriously a step backwards because at&t intentionally break some features and leave others out on their ROMs. What is your end goal for this device? I'll help you get there in the most efficient and safe way.

PS. Questions go in the q&a section, please make sure you post in the right section in future.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] floodx4:
Thanks for the heads up! I have been through so many posts in the last couple hours, I probably got confused about where I needed to be to safely RUU.

I don't necessarily want to be on a stock ROM, as much as I just want to return the phone to stock, and start over myself. I don't like the idea of having a customized device, and not knowing how it got there.

BUT, where I would to end up, is with CleanROM 7.0, or something similar. I am just looking for a stock(ish), rooted JB ROM, with sense 5.0.

I don't trust my skills enough to like messing with kernels and such, so I am just looking for a good JB ROM to run.

Thanks for the help! And sorry for the wrong forum.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Your thread is now in the Q&A section:good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I admire the fact that you want to get it there yourself, the learning aspect of unlocking a device is very important in my eyes. The first thing you need to do is get s-off so you can safely run an RUU without bricking your device. I'll give you a quick run down of the entire process first though.

1. Get s-off.

2. Run the 3.18 RUU.

3. Change CID from SuperCID to original CID.

4. Use the 3.18 root method to gain SuperCID again.

5. Unlock your bootloader at htcdev.

6. Install TWRP recovery.

7. Upgrade to the 2.15 firmware package.

8. Flash Cleanrom 7.x.

So, first you'll need s-off. The easiest way is probably to use the Rumrunner method, you'll find it here:

Http://Rumrunner.us

Even before doing that though you'll need to setup an adb/fastboot environment on your PC. Adb.exe and fastboot.exe are programs you install on Windows in order to communicate with your phone via the usb cable and command prompt. In order for these to work you'll also need HTC drivers installed.

This thread is the easiest way to install adb/fastboot:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42407269

This is where you can find the latest HTC drivers:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535581

Once you have those both installed you should test out the communication. Connect your phone in fastboot mode (boot into bootloader and connect device, it'll say fastboot usb on the phone), open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder (navigate to where fastboot is located on your PC, shift + right click anywhere in that folder, select open command prompt here), and issue this command:

fastboot devices

It should now return your device serial number, if it does you can go ahead and attempt Rumrunner s-off. If it doesn't return the serial you have a problem with communication.

How do I know what the original CID should be?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The above post by me lists how to go about the entire process, which isn't completely necessary but I've outlined it because you said you want to start from the beginning. There is a shorter way to do this, if you'd like to go for that just let me know and I'll outline though too. Your steps there look ok but I'd make a slight change.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] floodx4:
Dang.......

Went through the Rumrunner process, everything seemed to go as it should, but I am still S-on.

Also, tried to unlock through HTC DEV, and I get nothing after flash the unlock token. (phone never gives me the "accept" screen.

Communication is good through fastboot, but something doesn't seem right.

Any ideas, or should I just leave well enough alone and live with 4.1?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Oh, that's my fault, I forgot you need an unlocked bootloader for Rumrunner to work. Sometimes it can take several attempts at flashing the unlock token for it to work, so keep trying that.

Sent from my Evita.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] floodx4:
Man.....not sure what the previous owner did here, but....

I tried flashing the unlock token several times....all seemed to go through, but no "accept" screen on the phone.

Finally, I sent the fastboot oem lock command, and it "somewhat" acted like it relocked it. (I did get a FAILED message in there somewhere).

Resent the flash token command, and viola! I got the "accept" screen. Accepted the warning....and.....still locked:confused:

Went through Rumrunner again, just to see, and same result. I get the success message, but still have a locked bootloader, and still have s-on.

Back to the drawing board.......

EDIT: Went back through the process again, and noticed that when I send the fastboot oem lock command, the status changes to ***RELOCKED***, and after I flash the token, and accept the warning, the phone resets back to factory.....but bootloader still shows locked.

2nd EDIT: I think I may be on to something here!

Could the phone have one of the tools installed that "spoof" the hboot screen?

Here is what I get from a getvar all:

finished. total time: 0.083s

Could I be s-off and unlocked, and just not seeing it?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah, the previous owner has spoofed the hboot, so even though the phone shows locked after you flash the token I believe it's unlocked. Test the theory by trying to install a custom recovery.

Download the modified version of TWRP 2.6.3.0 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now disconnect your phone and select recovery from the bootloader screen on your phone. Hopefully it boots into TWRP recovery, this proves that your bootloader is in fact unlocked.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] floodx4:
OK, we are getting somewhere!

I have the TWRP recovery. (I believe I already may have had this same recovery, but It did flash successfully via the commands, so I think I'm good)

So....now what? Can I "un-spoof" the hboot to be sure? Or just be satisfied with the above experiment? And if so, does this put me at Step #2 "Flash the 3.18 RUU"?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yeah I believe you're good to go, I'd like to be doubly sure first though. You can change your CID as many times as you like if you have s-off, but with s-on you can't do that. So I'd suggest trying to change it and this will confirm your security status. The command is:

fastboot oem writecid 22222222

Hopefully that'll work, confirm by giving this command:

fastboot oem readcid

Hopefully you'll see eight two's. Once you've confirmed that works you can change it back, and you'll be good to go with the 3.18 RUU. The RUU will install the official 2.14 hboot so the locked/unlocked/relocked flags at the top of your bootloader screen will be normal again.

PS. You might want to edit the IMEI out of your post above, you should never post that publicly.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] floodx4:
Cool, writecid worked.

And speaking of that, Step 3, Change CID to original......what would the original CID be?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I wouldn't worry about that step, the point of that was to use the 3.18 root method.as a learning tool, it's completely unnecessary for you, but to be honest it's more trouble than it's worth. Right now I think you're learning quite a lot so you can run the 3.18 RUU, skip step 3 and 4, you've already unlocked your bootloader so skip step 5, you'll need to install TWRP recovery again after the RUU so do step 6, then you can continue on with steps 7 and 8.

Sent from my Evita.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] floodx4:
Awesome.

Just to be sure here....do I want my bootloader locked or unlocked when I flash the RUU?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You're s-off so you can leave the bootloader unlocked. Here's a link for the RUU.

Oohhhh yeah! That's what I'm talkin bout!

Great news, and once again I admire you for actually wanting to put in the effort and do some learning along the way. Most people want to take the shortest road possible, and they're inevitably the ones who have no idea what to do when something goes wrong.

Hello All,

After a crash with my daughters tablet 9inch MIDA13,I wanted to recover the tablet and had done a several things.

Calling/Mailing the reseller wich is gone,afterwise the whole site of him is gone,so I cannot get the original rom with the gt9xx.ko TS file.

Uberizing my original ROM to my extern SD card,what i not did, is TEST my original ROM (afterwhile sdcard can not read or cannot be formatted,I am very lost at the momemnt).

So my original ROM is gone,I have still not give up (4,5 hours),and wanted to reflash with another ROM,with all blabla CWM and not working roms etcetc.,What I firsly did was taking pictures of the original state (see pictures).

To getting a long story ( about 27 hours spending on a cheap xxs Chinese Tablet)short, I learned that the tablet has a special touchscreen GT9XX driver,well it is special coz I cannot find it,I tried the drivers here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189569 and a few from another forums,but agin nothing.

In the meanwhile I have found a Rom from Mapan China ,MaPan_MX913_DC_Jelly_Bean_4.1os_Root_Firmware_D20130601_UP .

This one give me everything except Touch .Guys really my daughter came at least 10 times if the tablet is working.

I really dont know what I could do else,I am desperate,
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tresans:
Solved ,case closed

When I was deleting files/roms/ and other files,I came accross a file "TAB950-1306093-M900-0614 " wich I didnt test,well guys what do you think,everything inclusive the gt9xx.ko Touchscreen are working.check the fotos what is cahnged or not with the command LSMOD in terminal,I am very happy including my daughter :) .

Kindly regards

Next step is to extract the driver files,so maybe yu can see this file in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189569 ,so I can help others finding the "special" gt9xx touchscreen.
[Moto X Q&A] aerohp:
Hey guys, I've been experiencing a glitch with the 4.4 update when pulling up the keyboard. I thought it might be a leftovers from the previous version causing problems but I've done a factory reset and still there. I've got the problem on my developers edition as well my T-Mobile 16gb.

Here's the situation. From home screen, I tap on the phone icon and obviously get this.

View attachment 2467482

Then, if I tap the keypad icon I get this white bar at the bottom..

View attachment 2467484

I have to hit the back key and tap the keypad again to get here..

View attachment 2467485

From this point the keypad key will work normally but I'll have to repeat this process if I swipe close the dialer in the recent apps list.

This happens on both my regular T-Mobile and developers edition. I've done multiple factory resets and the glitch is always there.

Please chime in and let me know if I'm doing something that's causing it or if there's a solution I can try. Thanks!
