I have a Singapore T6UL running on 4.3 S-OFF, Bootloader unlocked, rooted. When the 4.4.2 OTA came, I tried installing using the stock recovery. But it is complaining about HtcSoundRecorder.apk and Weixin.apk and abort the installation.Problem is HTCSoundRecorder is removed automatically when I unlocked the bootloader. Can anyone help to provide me with these 2 apk? :crying:

Do you have a screen shot for us ? that sounds pretty interesting to look at.
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
I have never heard of anything beibg removed with unlocking thr bootloader. It is possible unlocking the bootloader makes some apps not function properly (or even show up) but the apk should definitely still be there.
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
I tried using the HtcSoundRecorder.apk that pradeepvizz provides, Still same issue. Complaining about "\data\preload\HtcSoundRecorder.apk has unexpected contents Installation aborted" Tried with the apk extracted from a couple of roms in the dev section. Same issue, :eek:

The original doesn't have the "\data\preload" directory. So I thought that creating that directory and copying in the apk should work but it doesn't. :(

It seems that the \data\preload folder is removed after I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev...

Any ideas? :confused:
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
I am on software version: 1.23.707.1 Any kinds soul have the backup for this version? :highfive:
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
I do still learn something new every day...

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

So I thought we had a preload partition vice the preload folder? Unless I am just thinking of my samsung devices. Cant look up the partitions right at this second but that would make sense to me (and why I thought nothing was deleted from system or data).
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
Trying to update from 1.23.707.1 to 2.61.707.1

Tried factory reset. Still doesn't bring back that folder for me...

Funny for HTC to remove those stuff after unlocking bootloader. :rolleyes:
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Did you miss a OTA in the middle like 1.54 or something?
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
I don't think so. I didn't get any software update prompt except for the latest 4.2.2 update since I bought the Max on day 1 launch in Singapore.
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
Some options that I am thinking:

Option 1: Edit the ota update script to remove checks for sound recorder and weixin. This will make the zip to be unsigned and I am thinking whether this can be flashed using TWRP or CWM as stock recovery shouldn't allow it to be flashed due to unsigned package.

Option 2: Lock the bootloader. Factory reset. I am wondering if this can bring back to 100% stock state. I am from the Windows CE world and this works on CE as it will reload everything from the ROM image.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
did you try to extract the apk from virtuous ROM? that was only the ROM which i remember to have these files. the Apk files that i had linked were collected it from various posts on XDA, so that could be something causing the mismatch

I am not sure if CWM/TWRP can flash a edited zip using "install update.zip" but i think you can do that via adb sideload in TWRP/CWM.

Do you have the OTA link or the file, can you please upload so that the experts here can use it / help you with it?
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
Yep. I tried with the apk from virtuous ROM having the same issue. I checked the sha-1 of 5 copies of the apk from different sources and none of them has the matching sha-1 that the update script is asking for.

Can you share what is the differences between flashing via adb sideload and "install update.zip"?

I will try to upload the ota file when I get back from work tonight, :highfive:

HTC is spending theiir resources at the wrong place!
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
i understand your frustration, but i believe this is part of Google's security improvement in the OTA process.

i am not sure on the difference between adb sideload and update.zip, just did a little bit of Google and found that TWRP may work with the OTA - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573565

Hope something works out.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
I just extracted this apk from OTA_T6_UL_JB43_SENSE55_HTC_Europe_1.54.401.1-1.19.401.2_release_341451bchda87kitj44eh9.zip

This is the EURO OTA from 1.19 to 1.54, not sure if that will help you.

i checked the update-script on this OTA and it seemed to all good and should work with CWM / TWRP if all the executables are there..

Hope for the best!
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
Has anyone looked at this possibility? I thought someone posted all the partitions for the Max but havent come across it yet to check.
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
Thanks for your help. Tried this same issue. :crying:

Later going to try out the lock bootloader and factory reset method. Will keep the progress updated.
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
This is the ota that I am trying to flash.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPVL5J45ITdjUxcXY2Q3FNRk0/edit?usp=sharing
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
I confirmed that locking bootloader + factory reset does not bring back the \data\preload folder and contents. HTC post load it on top of the rom.
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Well, if you are able to find an RUU for your phone, that can be the only clean way to do it.

you can edit the script and removed the lines which specifies soundrecorder apk and then flash it with TWRP / CWM.
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
There is no RUU released for this version yet.

I tried the script editing method and use trwp n cwm. Both failed. Trwp gave an update binary error
[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
The thread is growing longer without any results, could you PM me with the error on TWRP and your edited script, lets try to see if we could get something working.
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
Hi Pradeepvizz,

I had sent you a PM but dunno whether it can get through.

Sorry for the delay. The link for my modified update script is as follows:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwoPVL5J45ITVmJNeXRKdmZCMXM/edit?usp=sharing

TWRP is giving "error: error executing updater binary in zip"

Do you think if I just flash the firmware.zip from the 4.4.2 ota will cause any issues?

Thanks a lot for your help.
[HTC One Max] cychan:
Flash stock recovery. Cannot update OTA with any other recovery. Use your modify script and see what happen. I have the Hong Kong OTA and it need the same file as well. I can update it to 98% and when the update script checking the said apk. it stop. the error is the same as you have. I will try your script and see what happen.

You need to backup your current rom first. If the script don't work. It will create a boot loop and you need to use the backup to recover the system.

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

By the way, if you s-off your Max. You don't need to relock the boot loader. It will work. The issues id the update script keep checking that HTCSoundRecorder apk only. ( It is very easy to s-off the Max. Look for it on the forum)
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
Yep. On stock recovery, if the ota zip is amended, it will fail the verification.
[HTC One Max] cychan:
You cannot use the download OTA to do it. Update the OTA manually. Once downloaded the OTA, Don't started the installation. Copy that download from download folder. Change the script. save it. put it back to the SD Card. In stock recovery. Once you see the red Triangle. Press up volume and power together and go into stock recovery menu and install it from SD card.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Your script works, Thanks I am now on 4.42
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
That's interesting. I am using the same method but I am still failing the package verification. How do you update the script? Open with the ota zip with 7zip, Remove the original script and put in the modified script?
[HTC One Max] cychan:
Yes, But mind you. The script not just checking that apk. It check a lots of other things. I have the stock rom which have most of the apk that it check except the HTCSoundrecorder. I can install it up to 95% in the beginning and stop at checking the HTCsoundrecorder. That is how I find out you need to use the backup to restart the phone since it will screw up the whole phone and go into boot loop. The Hong Kong ROM need to check apk like WeChat, Sina etc. which is build in the stock rom. I don't know what they need to check in your version but I can use your script to get it done which I check don't require the WeChat and Sina check.

[HTC One Max] pradeepvizz:
Good to know :) thank you for the confirmation!
[HTC One Max] artaab:
Could you please share the instructions (and modified zip) on how to actually get this OTA installed? thanks.
[HTC One Max] lowtengbeng:
What I did is:

1. Flash stock recovery

2. Copy the apk into \data\preload\ folder

3. Download the ota using HTV utility and reboot when quote.

4. Sit back and let the recovery do its work.
[HTC One Max] artaab:
could you maybe upload the correct recovery? I end up with the red triangle...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metapy:
So I've had my LG G2 for a month or so, never left my side and never exposed to any significant moisture. It started acting up so I took it into Sprint and they claimed the Liquid Damage Indicator, LDI, had tripped. I found this hard to believe as I knew the phone had not been exposed to moisture other than ambient humidity. I looked at the LG service manual and the sticker that Sprint claims is a LDI that tripped is a also red in the service manual. This is leading me to believe there is a red sticker in the LG G2 that is NOT a LDI, but will be used to invalidate warranty claims. I am hoping someone else can confirm my suspicions. I took a screenshot of the service manual showing the location of the sticker hoping someone else with a new LG G2 can confirm if their sticker is red too.

Image from the service manual showing red sticker location, note the LDI under the SIM slot is NOT tripped:

T-mobile document confirming LDI under SIM

It can also be clearly seen as red in the youtube video:

Red in teardown video

EDIT: I made it a different Sprint store and a new phone is on the way. Don't let Sprint tell you the red sticker I indicated is an LDI and deny a warranty claim. Here is a comment from a Sprint employee confirming ALL the stickers are red where I indicated.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
easy these are triggered also by moist climate, like bathroom or humid air. False positive. Unless someone files a lawsuit about these flaws youre screwed.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Yep, moisture from shower, humid climate etc can cause a trip even though they say humidity wont affect it... There was a big thing about iPhones being easily tripped because they used to have it near the headphone jack I believe. Not much you can do about it, but I believe white-->red is positive for exposure on any model phone, are you sure the manual isn't showing how a positive indicator looks?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metapy:
It just seems odd that they would "show" a tripped LDI when they have not acknowledged this is an LDI. If they wanted to show an LDI that was triggered I would have assumed they would do so with the LDI under the SIM slot that is public. Like I said I want to know with 100% certainty if this is a LDI or not, which should not be this difficult.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] herschbach3:
I have been browsing these forums for a while and learned some things but I am having trouble finding a solution to my issue. I could be overlooking it somewhere and if I am let me know.

I have a System Update notification but I have rooted so I cant use the OTA. I have been looking for the latest update so I can install it by other means. Just now looking at the screen that comes up after powering on while holding VOL- button this is what I see:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

eMMC-boot 2048MB

Sep 18 2013, 15:46:04.0

I notice I still have S-ON. I also have SuperSU and TWRP so I know why I cant use the OTA but in all my searching I cant find a thread that specifically says where to find an update I can use and how I would go about it. (again I may just be overlooking it)

So my question is where do I find the latest OTA that has been tweaked so I can install it and how would I go about actually installing it.

Thanks in advance and I thoroughly enjoy these forums. So much great information and I am hoping to learn enough to start trying out more things to get more out of my One.

You could flash a radio zip or a custom rom. The radio zip would be a good start, backup in TWRP first.

This is the thread with the latest modified firmware update http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2576995. It's not a big update. Based on info there is a more current radio available.

I need some help with my phone. I have a Motorola RAZR MAXX (not HD). My carrier is Ntelos which is regional cell company in WV and Va. I have had this phone for about a year and a half. I am able to get a new phone in October. This one is starting to give me some fits so I think it is time to "tweak" it.

I will put some of the phone specs below. Thanks

"Best ROM/Kernel" questions are not allowed (really tolerated) on this forum. If you're lucky someone will politely tell you to try them all & decide for yourself. Typical response trend toward being flamed. So, while you can, run for your phone's development forum & start researching ROMs.

Very easy and simple way to manually change your Flappy Bird score.

[Edit 2/21/14] Apparently I'm not the first to figure this out as proven by a quick search. Oh well, at least I can say I figured out how to hack flappy bird at age 13 without the use of any help ;)

Prerequisites: A Rooted Phone/Tablet, a previous score of at least 1; the file needed to be edited generates when you first get a high score. (Please tell me you aren't THAT bad lol)

1. Using a file manager, navigate to "/data/data/com.dotgears.flappybird/shared_prefs/FlappyBird.xml"

2. You will see a few lines of text. Edit the line that says blahblahblah score "your last score" to whatever you want under 2 billion.

Billion.

3. Save the edited file and close the file manager.

4. Open Flappy Bird and die.

5. Brag to your friends your high score is 2457412885

Easy! ?
