yes, you could get into trouble, cause recovery is not 100% stock, and so the tampered sign / red text will be back.

since you used a 1.xx nandroid, you'll need to use a 1.xx stock recovery from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463387

try the 1.28.401.7.img version... as mentioned in the guide, the recovery could hang (but be patient, sometimes it's just slow), and you have to manually reboot to let it continue it's update.

when the OTA goes through successfully, you'll know for sure the phone is 100%.

PS: if during the update, stock recovery goes from green triangle to red triangle, that means the stock recovery is no good.... so as long as no red triangle all should be okay.

yes well, step 4 is before step 5, you already locked your bootloader. since you're still S-Off, use [MENTION=3437245]scotty1223[/MENTION] commands to unlock again:

here use one of those custom recoveries (TWRP):

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13085

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip fw_m7ul_TWRP_2.6.3.3_1.26.401.33.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

-> enter RECOVERY (should be TWRP now)

and use the adb commands to unlock
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgreeny:
So do that, then do Scotty1223's method?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes this will put TWRP (sorry didnt have CWM readily available as a masked firmware package) on your phone, and in custom recovery SU is already available :)

you unlock, then put back the stock recovery.

Okay, I've done all that. Gone to install the OTA again and its still hanging on Entering Recovery. Is there somewhere we can chat by any chance?

To clarify, I flashed TWRP, then unlocked, then flashed the stock recovery, then locked again, rebooted and then tried to install the OTA

hey mate, i'm off but:

[23:45.12] <nkk71> in the meantime:

[23:45.26] <nkk71> go back to square one, run the ruu,

[23:45.40] <nkk71> restore the CWM backup

<< don't restore stock recovery >>

[23:46.25] <nkk71> reboot ROM, then when you receive the 1st (minor :p) OTA, notification, "download and install later" -> keep it, we're going to use it

keep bootloader unlocked and s-off
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgreeny:
Sorry my IRC crashed.

As in;

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip <- yes TWICE, the first one will report “failed flush again”, the second one will succeed.

fastboot reboot-bootloader ??
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
okay, so we've confirmed ROM is stock as well as firmware (and no tampered and no red text on splash screen).

now let's try to get you LOCKED, without triggering TAMPERED... remember this is untested (no brick involved, we just don't want to trigger the TAMPERED or red text)

so here goes: (please don't add or remove any commands, if you get driver issues fix them without rebooting the device, just check FAQ #2 in my guide)

1- you have my CWM.img recovery

2- you have http://d-h.st/Vg2 (credits to [MENTION=4647967]Guich[/MENTION])

---> i'm going to assume you renamed that file to recovery_2.24.771.3.img (no spaces, no double extensions)

now boot into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, then:

fastboot flash recovery CWM.img

fastboot erase cache

-> enter RECOVERY

use [MENTION=3437245]scotty1223[/MENTION]'s commands set bootloader to LOCKED

--> confirm that bootloader is untampered and LOCKED

EDIT: :eek: :eek: okay, this will not worked with a locked bootloader so scratch that (I should know better!!) :rolleyes:

fastboot flash recovery recovery_2.24.771.3.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

so do this: did you get that package i sent you, then:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip fw_mrgreeny_recovery_2.24.771.3.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

-> confirm still untampered and LOCKED

fastboot reboot

-> confirm no red text on bootup "this is a blablabla... do not distribute"

-> make a simple setup, such as WiFi only (DO NOT TAKE UPDATES)

-> reboot three times, and confirm no tampered or red text in bootup (red text in

"Tell HTC" Error reporting is OK

)

if all the above is okay, we can

consider

proceeding with S-On, but please first do all the above

I know I said it 30 times on IRC. But thank you so much!

If you're reading this and you're on Three UK thinking how do I do go to stock? - FFS, an OTA is an OTA, no matter what the update says it is - it's an OTA!

I think that's what I got from this?

could

be in order (hmm, it takes a big man to say when he's wrong [

could

be?] ... and I'm not a big man :p)

cause I did check the first update notification (though I was unable to download it :(), and at 5MB, it's likely not to be an OTA, more likely an update to the one of the apps responsible for OTAs (plus it didn't even give me the option of "download and install later" :confused:)

so i think you did everything correctly except that you used a 2.xx recovery after restoring the 1.xx nandroid.

Hello to everybody,

I'll get straight to the point.

On all THL t5s devices I've seen so far there is almost no volume in the recorded videos. It seems that something makes the microphone of the device react like as if you're having a phone call. So, if you put the phone near your mouth (like when having a call) the sound recorded in the video is just great...but in bigger distance ...there is no sound at all.

I think it's a rom problem or something with the kernel but i'm not so sure about it cause i'm not so expert yet!

I've tried using mobileuncle, and another recording app...but the same thing. So i think it's a software error!!!

Right now there is no other T5s available rom on the internet to have a try than the original one...so how could we change that?!

Do you think that i could try the THL T5 rom instead ?(t5 is a former dual core model, t5S is quad core)? i think that's not possible but i wanted to ask someone who knows better than me!

Please help us all t5s' :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jainyankee1993:
Adolph Hitler was a horrible person, no doubt, but we can't discount him from history. You're right, it's controversial, and I don't agree with most, if not all the things he has to say.. But we can't simply ignore his presence. Thank you for checking it out though. I hope you liked the app in general
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brobinson2102:
He was a horrible monster. And I agree that we should not discount Hitler from history. I'm also somewhat compelled by the idea of sharing quotes from Hitler so we never forget.

My dissonance is the stated purpose of the app being for inspirational use. I'm not sure I would include Hitler as a person that inspires me.

Finding his name listed next to the other individuals you chose was, for me, incongruent at best and insulting at worst.

While I understand your rationale, However, from a purely marketing perspective, I imagine including Hitler in a list of inspirational speakers may present challenges for marketing to a larger audience.

Respectfully submitted.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jainyankee1993:
I appreciate the feedback and I completely understand where you're coming from. I will consider removing Hitler, as I don't want to offend anyone. In fact I created this app for the opposite purpose. Thanks again, feel free to leave feedback on Google play btw. Thanks again!

So, there I was, eating dinner while my phone read me a book.* And suddenly, it stopped. Because my phone crashed. And the amount of a boot cycle it can get through before crashing has been decreasing ever since. A complicating factor: when I still thought it was possibly a software issue, I booted into recovery, and attempted to re-flash the OS (currently it's on 10.2.1). It crashed partway through the process.

On the off chance this was a humidity issue (and not having a lot of time to mess with it) I opened up the phone, removed battery, sim, sd and the small screws in the main body of the phone, and left it in a dry well ventillated place. Now it will get as far as the initial "samsung" splash screen the first time I've reinserted the battery, and won't boot at all beside that. (It's possible that the power button was behaving weirdly, but the phone's behavior was generally so erratic that I can't say that with confidence.) Also, sniffing at the keyboard there is ever so faint a smell of burnt electronics... maybe. Maybe just platicizers. (I've noticed a bit of

This is the same phone that had screen issues (assumed to be related to a small amount of water** though subsequent evidence suggested a loose connector as an alternative hypothesis) around the beginning of February. It's been fine ever since, discounting the occasional weird usb connectivity issues that seem to be common with this phone.

I'm pretty happy to take the phone apart, but other than a general decase everything and look for loose connectors or other obvious trouble, I'm not even sure where to begin. (Also, I have about twelve hours to put in an order if I want Amazon to send by a new phone by tomorrow. Which is kind of silly, but this is swiftly and impressively dead. And otherwise it'd be no phone until Tuesday, which wouldn't kill me, but which would annoy me mightily.)

Any thought regarding common problem areas for this phone? I'm hoping to be able to leave the lab early today, which should give me some hours of working time. Well set up for tools, always happy to have things to take apart.

* Text to speech is awesome, once you get used to the robo-voice.

You cant do any of that on a non USB mass storage . You probably messed the driver and need to reinstall it again and maybe reflash cache.img to fix storage if the phone is softbricked.

Don't use any 3rd party desktop software to handle the storage in the nexus 5. direct access via explorer is all you need and cmd for adb and fastboot.

Hello all. I have had bad reception on my Wizard just like everyone else. I have also read the scary post on the Howard Forums describing how to do surgery on the antenna. The hack is proven to work, but I was still scared about voiding my waranty. Well I whiped up a safer way to fix the antenna issue. I have attached pics to help others implement my fix.

Supplies needed-->

Aluminum Foil

Clear Tape

Scissors

Good Pair of Eyes :roll:

Cut a single layer piece of Aluminum Foil that matches the larger, left side of the antenna. If you look closely at the stock antenna you will see 2 indentions in the copper where the contact pins from the phone touch. Make sure that your foil only reaches far enough to cover the left indention and not the right one. The right pin will still use the stock antenna. Now cover the Foil with Clear Tape almost completely. (One layer should be fine) The only part that will not be covered by tape is the right corner facing out (Circled in Red below). The back side of that corner has to be covered with Clear Tape to prevent shorting antennas. Which is the flaw we are trying to alleviate.

Front Side

Back Side

Place 2 rolled pieces of Clear Tape on the original antenna. This will secure the Foil antenna to the stock antenna.

Carefully place the Foil antenna on the stock antenna. Make sure the Foil antenna does not cover the Camera Lens, or the rubber plug.(Its easier to remove the rubber plug before re-assembly) The most important part is to make sure that the right corner of the Foil is covering the left indention completely and is not near the right indention. Now carfully re-assemble the phone and check your reception.

If the antennas make correct contact and are not shorting out you will have excellent reception. This mod will not void your waranty like the surgery mod as long as you remove the Foil antenna before sending your Wizard in for waranty work/replacement. 8) Also the Cingular Radio Rom 2.5.11 helps alot. I recomend installing it along with this mod.

Edit: 16-06 22:26 GMT+1, Made thread sticky as asked (eDsuB)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] djwillis:
Great little how to, I'll give this a try as the other hardware mods looked a little bit to 'permanent' for my liking.

Have you got an idea of how much it improved things in %'age terms?

I know going from a 2.00.07 (I think) to 2.25.11 radio ROM seems to have given between 5-10% improvement on the devices I have tried rolling it out on. It also seems to spend less time locking to a tower in the newer radio ROM.
