[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lspec230:
Still no luck

Not sure what's going on....I cant install TWRP on there to change the MID or Flash a stock RUU

I tried from ADB and for past experience from Samsung also copied it to the phone hoping I could flash from recovery, but there isn't an option for that.

Cant help but think the RELOCKED flag is causing the problems.

I will try a factory reset and cache/partition wipe and start again.

I suppose one option is to flash a RUU that will work with my current MID. Then start the process from there.....:confused:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
1- Why oh why did you go S-On?? You don't need S-On for OTAs

2- Why dint you read this: "---------> Note: M7_UL .401. users don't use 1.20.401.1, use 1.28.401.7 instead"

Okay so now you're S-On, bootloader locked or unlocked?

bootloader has to be locked or relocked, then go ahead and flash the 1.28.401.7 ruu.zip, then get S-Off!

then stay UNLOCKED and S-Off and take all the OTAs you like then report back

any reason you need S-On??
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lspec230:
Because I am a FOOL!!! I missed that by not reading properly....
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
okay, so slow it down a little, take a deep breath and no panicking or rushing things!!! okay?

Here's what you're going to do:

1- lock/relock bootloader

2- flash ruu.zip 1.28.401.7

3- DO NOT TAKE ANY OTAs

4- use revone, to get S-Off, and unlock your phone

Once that is done report back, if you have questions, please go ahead ask before doing things

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

PS: if ruu.zip fails, giving "signature fail" it's cause it's not signed and you are now S-ON.

in that case use RUU.EXE: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/

no need to "downgrade hboot", just run the RUU.EXE, NOTHING ELSE and report back with a "fastboot getvar all"

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
maybe best to cancel and get the RUU.EXE instead, just in case the zip is unsigned.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
What I meant is that in some situations, not taking time to read and double check before doing things could potentially brick a phone or make the situation worse. Hopefully this time no brick is involved as you said, only some time wasted for the OP to reflash a RUU and S-OFF again. :D

edit: and some download time ;)

I remember that comment that was made a few days ago, but I disagree with this. How could your guide be less cluttered, Its a Super Guide lol! Its well organized and easy to follow imo if you at least take time to carefully read post #1. Good job, we all appreciate your guide ;)

Top Guide

Guide is fantastic....and I am case in point....read twice flash once!

Thankfully no lasting damage done, just time

Lesson learnt

1) don't be scared of ADB

2) don't be scared to ask questions

3) READ READ READ,and don't try stuff when tired or frustrated

4) Tool kits are not always the way ahead...

5) READ READ READ

30 mins till the .exe is downloaded, your assumption was correct the .zip wasn't signed.

You are on hboot 1.43 :(

windows 8.1 isn't compatible with this hboot version and you will not be able to send fastboot command and the ruu.exe will fail even if you can run it.....

do you have another computer with windows 7?

Hate to butt in, but how did you get windows 8.1 to use fastboot after you changed to hboot 1.43 ?

How were you able to test the RUU.zip without fastboot ?

To get s-off you need root and unsecured kernel (basicly a rom installed) is you phone still booting to the OS and working ?

I had the windows 8.1 driver issue and resolved it by swapping the usb 3.0 host controller driver for intel ones so been able to use flashboot commands with no worried (so far)

It is pushing the RUU but getting error 152 at the end, tells me to find the correct RUU.

I have re-downloaded the .ZIP so will also try that if i am still having issues

You can try to unlock using HTCdev, but if it fails, use revone to S-Off and unlock.

From what I've read here so far, it seems like the US T-Mobile MDA is pretty much the same as the German T-Mobile MDA Vario??

I will be looking at different websites to find reasonable priced MDA... my question is, if I ended up buying a german MDA Vario, will it work here in the USA (GPRS, EDGE, etc etc) with the american T-Mobile SIM Card? Reason I asked is because I had learned my lesson from the previous purchasing of a german Sidekick 2 which did not work for the GPRS (Data-wise), only the phone/SMS portion worked on the US T-Mobile. :P

I found the solution to my problem. My phone needs a smarter owner. I rechecked everything including the version of TWRP and there was the problem. Flashed the latest twrp recovery and it works like magic. Or should that be magick??

Anyway file this one under lessons learned.

MAKE SURE OF THE VERSION OF RECOVERY YOU HAVE. ITS ON THE FIRST PAGE AFTER YOU ENTER RECOVERY.

IT MUST BE THE CORRECT ONE, NOTHING ELSE IS "CLOSE ENOUGH"

Hi I am making my first app, a launcher, I have to questions

1. I have it setup to return to home screen from app drawer but it also refreshes the whole main activity the code I have in place for this is:

[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION] public void onBackPressed() { super.onBackPressed(); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); [code]

Is there a better way to do this(without refreshing the main activity) if so can someone point me in the right direction

2. What is the best way to implement page viewer for more home screens or is there a better way to do this as well?

I appreciate all and any response and help and thank anyone willing to lend a hand
[Java for Android App Development] EmptinessFiller:
I think a launcher is definitely not an app a beginner should code.

But to your question: I guess you should leave super.onBackPressed() out.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Well, I think it depends on which kind of launcher he creates. If it is no fancy 3D launcher, I think of it as a better project for a beginner than a project that involves Server interaction. There are special, easy launchers which are designed for children as well. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] deathblade:
Its no 3d or nothing really fancy the idea I have is a very simplistic and minimal launcher with just basic launcher features, the ui will be very similar to other launchers but yet different, so no other suggestions on how to implement closing app drawer when back button is pressed?
[Java for Android App Development] deathblade:
Or is there any resources that would be recommended?
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
I would create two Fragments, one for the homescreens and one for the app drawer. Set it up that way that you can use popBackStack() to return to the homescreens from the app drawer.

Very detailed resource on Fragments: http://developer.android.com/guide/components/fragments.html :D

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iceyhotguy:
The notification is present in all recent firmwares released by Samsung.

In one of the threads, a user mentioned downgrading/reflashing the firmware brought the IMEI back somehow.

Try this, downgrade to November 4.2.2 firmware (more stable and no red notification on download mode), clear cache from stock recovery. Check if you have your IMEI back, if not then you'll have to clean root traces and take it in to the service center to fix the EFS partition.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DMJoh:
That notification is not strange, it shows the firmware version of the Samsung eMMC (The e•MMC architecture puts the MMC components (flash memory plus controller) into a small ball grid array (BGA) package for use in circuit boards as an embedded non-volatile memory system).

That came up with the latest update, if EFS partition is not backed up, you may have to approach Service centre i guess!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
Ok so I will try to list the symptoms as clear as possible. However, first is the back story. I bought a new, official oem N7, battery for my tablet. I installed it and it powered on perfectly. I did a factory reset, attached it to my Gmail account, downloaded and setup Torque (because I'm using the tablet to monitor my car's engine). The tablet worked flawlessly for about 1.5 hours. Then it suddenly turned off. The next thing I know it boots up and goes to a screen with a bunch of static. My main problem is that now the tablet will not power on unless it is plugged in. It's as if the battery is now DOA. When I plug the tablet in to my computer I hear the plug/unplug noise over and over and over and over again. It's as if I am plugging and unplugging the tablet over and over again.

I have already tried the battery connection fix. That does nothing to fix my issue.

Has anyone else ever had this kind of issue or have any advice?
