UPDATE:

Phone is in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. I've tried HTC Unbricking Project but it didn't detect my phone. Also I've tired the Ultimate Recovery tool Unbrick and it also didn't help.

I guess the only solution is JTAG / New phone.

Hello,

I think I'm in a real big trouble.

background story:

I was on ARHD 7.3, S-off, Firmware 3.33 Uni. Suddenly after about a month of use, phone started to lose signal. I could recover the signal only with a reboot (hidden menu options and airplane mode didn't help).

I thought it was a problem with the ROM so I've installed an Official RUU RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.153 after installing 3.33.401.x firmware. This didn't solve the problem I had, signal still was going off few times a day and each time I had to reboot. Furthermore, I've lost my IMEI Number, I got a new IMEI number 355195000000017 which I googled and found more people with that number. However the IMEI change didn't interrupt anything.

Realizing that RUU didn't help I've decided to go back to Mike's ROM ARHD 7.3. (after unlocking bootloader again and etc..)

Then the problem started:

com.google.process.gapps and acore.process.android and basically all the phone started to crash. Nothing helped, I've tried to reflash ROM, reflash Google Package, Nothing. Suddenly, the phone was bricked. won't charge, won't boot.

However a very strange thing happened. Suddenly I could boot Into HBOOT (maybe the phone didn't had enough battery power before).

But the HBOOT was getting stuck, I couldn't do anything So I've used the Ultimate Recovery Tool and downgraded my HBOOT. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1653777)

The Problem now:

1. I can go to 4EXT recovery but it won't let me flash any ROM, installing is aborted.

2. HBOOT won't let me flash any recovery, boot, etc saying permission denined.

3. Rebooting bootloader doesn't work, it goes just to a black screen with backlight on.

4. I've tried to change firmware with PG58IMG it won't update saying hboot partition update failed failed-pu

5.I've tried to install the previous RUU [MENTION=5137149]fastboot[/MENTION] but it says battery power below 30%. I've checked the voltage it was around 3800~ and in the recovery it had like 50% so I don;t think problem lies here.

Information about HBOOT:

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.49.0007 <--- Bad Bad HBOOT, I know I did a mistake here. This Hboot is for Evo 3D GSM.

RADIO-11.24.3504.31_M

OPENDSP- BLAH BLAH BLAH

eMMC-boot

I don't think I have SuperCID. when I type the command fastboot getvar cid and getvar all I see the CID number is 0418.

However, when I type fastboot oem readcid I get 11111111.

I've tried to change to superCID but again, permission denined.

I'm thinking maybe if I could somehow change the superCID then I could update the firmware and then I could run the RUU?

Or can I somehow via linux box flash a different HBOOT?

Thank everyone who read this long story

I would be truly grateful for anyone who tries to help me.

EDIT: Phone Info:
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
failed-pu

man is a serious problem AFAIK

did you try to reflash ruu.exe or install 3.33 universal firmware again?

did they show you failed-pu again?

edit: what hboot version is that?:eek:

edit 2: why did you use a tool from htc evo 3D forum?

since you are on S-OFF and supercid you could use any ruu.exe you wanted including GB's one

that would take care also of your hboot version(gingerbread ruu->hboot downgrade)
[HTC Sensation] Romansko:
Thanks for your reply,

Yes, Flashing RUU still giving me the below 30% battery (I've charged all night).

And Installing Firmware 3.33 gives me fail-pu

Idk, I saw ultimate Recovery tool, thought it would help since nothing worked..

I do have S-Off but I don't have SuperCID (my CID num is very strange only 4 digits now).
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
try to change your cid again

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

fastboot reboot bootloader

fatsboot getvar cid
[HTC Sensation] Romansko:
Failed-PU

I've tried that already but it didn't work.

./fastboot oem writecid 11111111

... INFOStart Verify: -1

INFOemmc_erase(1852): sd_write_sector failed!

OKAY
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i don't know what else to suggest man:(

only ganeshp can help you with that

he has more experience about F-PU

the only thing i can tell you is go for jtag
[HTC Sensation] Romansko:
Thanks for trying! My phone doesn't boot or charge at all now. I guess JTAG it is.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
give a try with unbricking project

I did. My phone's in a QHSUSB_DLOAD mode but it doesn't get detected by the Unbricked project script. I saw other people had the same problem and Dexter advised them to JTAG.

if dexter advised it then go for it

My girlfriend's Z1 got damaged and the screen is in a mess. Its not even working to touch etc.

Anyone have information where I can send the phone in the US to get it serviced and how much it will cost? Or any other advice? I dont want to lose the waterproof if its fixed.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwajr:
I used my insurance
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avantiel:
is there anywhere I can sign up on sony's site to have it mailed to a repair centre in the US and shipped back to me?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
I don't really know in other country how that works but in France your provider always asks you if you want an insurance or not, if you take it for 13€ per month, you can crush your phone unilimed of time, you never pay anything and they change it any number of time that is necessary, with a phone like that i suggest you to take an insurance. Also the best way to not damage it is using a protection.

I use one in ballistic gel (really!) and a solid protection that fit together, ok the phone is a little ugly but really well protected :good:
[One (M8) Accessories] Monkeyfeng:
I used this exact case for my M7 phone and I love it. It's still the best case in my opinion. It doesn't add much to the phone and it's a hard shell transparent case that protects the metal side from scratches.

I just bought it on Amazon and I will show some pictures once I get it.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJ0YCRA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

*I know the picture on the website still shows the old M7 but hopefully, they know what they are doing with the M8 case. ;)
[One (M8) Accessories] Hardcore73:
I just ordered one for mine. Thanks.
[One (M8) Accessories] GermanGuy:
Does this case have cut outs for both the power button as well as the volume buttons?
[One (M8) Accessories] sdotagain:
It is open on the top and open on the bottom. Adds some grip to the phone as well even tho it is smooth.
[One (M8) Accessories] mikey2487:
mine just came in the mail today, waiting to get off so i can get it!!
[One (M8) Accessories] sdotagain:
Can you check the top left corner of your case when you get it? Does it feel a bit loose? Mine kind of moves only on that corner. I fear that slight movement may cause scratches over time.
[One (M8) Accessories] mikey2487:
mine feels kinda loose on all the corners except the bottem left, but its not like a loose where the case is going to fall off or anything its like there is a tiny bit of play. i've noticed that trying to take this case off is kind of difficult but not extremly hard it's just weird, all in all a good slim case i think, only had it on for about 12 hours thou
[One (M8) Accessories] Ph33zy:
does this case make the phone easier to grip?
[One (M8) Accessories] mikey2487:
feels a little better than the phone itself, i can't say anything about the other colors because i have the black one and it feels good on the phone. there are no lips around the screen so i wouldn't recommend setting the phone on the screen part as the screen will be touching the surface
[One (M8) Accessories] Ph33zy:
My clear came in today. It def makes the phone easier to hold. The clear scratches very easily (in fact I think it came with light scratches) but I expected that from reading the reviews. I like it because its really thin and doesn't add that much bulk.
[One (M8) Accessories] y2jdmbfan:
I picked this up but haven't put it on yet. Kinda worried about it scratching the phone with its rough edges...anyone put on and take off the case multiple times yet? Any scratching of the side bezels or back on the phone?
[One (M8) Accessories] skyline23:
I put mine on and took it off a bunch of times. I don't think I like the case at all. I doubt it will protect the phone at all during a drop. About the only thing it will do is protect the back from scratches which i'm not that worried about.
[One (M8) Accessories] jlczl:
Picked up one on Amazon for 50 % off with coupon code kay50off.
[One (M8) Accessories] ITGuy11:
Thanks for the coupon code, just ordered one myself!
[One (M8) Accessories] jlczl:
Don't think it'll be very protective but it adds grip while maintaining a case-less look.

Question for ilauncher seen above... I was wondering how to get the vertical spacing between icons in ilauncher to be close like that. in mine there spaced vertically far apart. i want them close together like that. theres lots of space wasted on my today screen. i dont want to have to scroll. my icons are only 32x32 so they should be the same as his above. in the settings theres only horizontal spacing... can anybody help?

btw to how many lines to alot for iLauncher, is set to automatic... even wen i set it to 4 lines it still has huge spacing between the the first and 2nd rows of icons.

the icon set used is the qvga version on icons from the expea2 theme.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mattucd:
Hi... you might have gotten that icon set from my post in the Today thread, but maybe not. Anyway, I'm not sure what the setting is exactly, but check to see if you have captions enabled for that tab.

Also, I have found that sometimes iLauncher ****s up the alignment, so I have to disable it and re-enable it in the Today settings to get it to display correctly.

I was also wondering what caption settings you had for the meter displays? I like how they overlap, do you think you could export your settings and upload them here so I could take a look at them?

I will include my own settings, as I have had no trouble with vertical spacing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pinoiplayah:
...

yess it worked... thanks alot mattucd. i had to disable every tab's 'enable caption' option.

the font settings are set to system default. i guess it has to be the them im using for my ppc. or the WA2 theme im using.

well im using the windows vista WA2 theme with the expea2.tsk theme

ill post the files for u... i dont remember which ones has the font. im a newbie to this stuff.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pinoiplayah:
oh btw...

is there any way to put a 'device lock' icon shortcut on ilauncher... i want to save more space on my today screen by having to eliminate the 'device lock' today plugin and putting a icon in ilauncher instead...

heres my current today screen...

see the device lock is at the bottom i wanna eliminate taht complete and jus have a lock button on ilauncher instead
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pinoiplayah:
one more thing i swear...

is there a way to remove the bar under the device lock plugin... i think its called the tool bar.

i want to eliminate that as well to free up space on my today screen. i dont really need to show my battery meter and access the com manager through there at all or have ne purpose for that bar. if ne one can help that would be great!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mattucd:
You can click "Add shortcut..." then click "Cpl Applets" then select "Lock."

The settings I wanted, to get them, do you think you could go to iLauncher settings, then click "Tools," then "Export Settings," then copy the .ini file from your phone to your computer, rename the file to .txt, and upload it here?

It doesn't take as long as it sounds :)

I've been trying to get my font to display like the ones in your screenshots, to no avail. Are you running version 2.3.0.7?

EDIT:

I misread your post. To remove the Lock plugin from the Today screen, go to the Today control panel, then click "Items," then uncheck the box for "Device Lock" or whatever it's called.

To delete the little tray below that, with Comm Manager and the battery display, you need to use a program like Total Commander, navigate to your Windows directory, and then go to the StartUp folder. From there, delete the Init_Tray.lnk file, and do a soft reset.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pinoiplayah:
cool

thanks for the tip again with the tray thing... it worked

as for the device lock thing... i know how to remove it from my today screen that no problem... im saying... is there a way to put that function on iLauncher that will be able to lock and unlock my phone without having that plugin on my today screen taking space?

i tried jus going to cpl applets but the link it gives u is for the settings of the lock function. i want the actual ability to lock not just the settings.

same with bluetooth and wifi... i want to be able to put a link where it just turns on and off the bluetooth capability instead of just bringing me to the bluetooth settings page. i want to add the button as if u were accessing the com manager and pushing the wifi or bluetooth button but on ilauncher
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mattucd:
I think that maybe you might want to try some of the shortcuts thread here ( http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=42913&start=150 ). If you create a .lnk file for the exact property you wish to edit, then cheate a shortcut to that .lnk within iLauncher, then you can achieve what you're trying to do.

After reading over your settings, I realized that it's the battery meters that contain the font settings! :oops: Can you tell me where you found the set of expea2 icons for iLauncher? I did a Google search but couldn't come up with anything for QVGA...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pinoiplayah:
ya they can be hard to find... i had to do alot of researching for this stuff...

here ill save u sum of the trouble and jus post all of my icons i have... how bout that? lol because to be honest i dont remember where i got all of them. most of them are from themes tho

trust me it was a pain to find these over the last couple days...

now i find myself looking for pocket weather icons... hard to find.

ive been checking the weather panel custom layouts recently and they look awesome. so i might have to convert over to that instead. im not sure yet. lol

ill try out the lnk stuff and ill get back to ya.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pinoiplayah:
hmph...

could you show me step by step with an example of how to do it?

those threads are friggin confusing me...

whats the blue bar u have there?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pinoiplayah:

the blue bar is phone alarm with a different skin...

how do i apply the themes u supplied?

i have WA2 too.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
I just upgraded to the G Pro. Man, for the first time I feel like I liked the previous phone better lol. I still have the OG , I look at it and wish I didn't buy the G Pro lol. ArtMod is a great rom, it really makes the OG so much better in my opinion
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shamelin73:
Going from the G to the G pro is not really an upgrade. Our need the G2 or the G2 Pro to be an upgrade.

You just got a bigger screen
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
A bit better processor , better cam , battery. The point is the phone is good :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jervisd:
It is a small upgrade

It's not just about the screen. You do get an infrared port, bigger removable battery, higher res. display with a few more bells and whistles. The thing though is that if you're running Artmod on your OG the move to the G Pro is not all that great a move, the G2 or Pro 2 would have made much more sense,
[AT&T LG Optimus G] luisoman2000:
I'm planning to make that move myself. There's very little support for the g pro compared to our G. All things considered(and no, i cant afford a better upgrade, really wish i could though) is it worth it?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
I think ur right, however we all make mistakes :) live and learn ~
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
I got mine for 150. If you can buy one locally you may get lucky buying it cheap. Ur right, development for the g pro is poor. I do like the screen, very beautiful. If there is a well-made stock based rom for it, it would be perfect. Mine has a crack on the screen, I'm still blown away by how beautiful everything looks

Btw I sold my OG for 160 so I break even
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChiefWilNel:
does the artmod work on the e970 at&t phone? I suppose I could look thru the 30 page thread

It works great att on e970

I dont think it works with twrp, it says fail to mount system but gives me a success lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
I used twrp, it worked just fine for me. Make sure you aren't using a kitkat version of twrp
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChiefWilNel:
Its the kitkat version.i get the error but the rom works fine
[AT&T LG Optimus G] friendlyguy55:
The shape and size of Optimus G is just perfect for me. G Pro is too big for my taste.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JimGar3281:
I bought the lgog for my wife and I back in march. Best phone I have had owned. Still better than any Iphone released specs wise. Screen size is perfect. It's a great phone and now with the kitkat port from Paulicat its even better.

[Moto X Q&A] NameLessThugZero:
My setup: 4.4 ATT Moto X, Rooted (by way of latest jcase method), Locked bootloader, and I'm pretty sure write protection is off (though I don't remember how to check)

What I am wanting to know is how would and should I be able to get to 4.4.2, and get my root back (as I'm not confident any method will be able to "keep" my root safely without screwing something else up)? What's the best way based on my setup, and what files or tools would I need(stock 4.4 or 4.4.2 ROM, a new recovery image, etc)?

Since the root method I used hijacks the recovery, I suppose I technically don't have a functional one (other than it maintaining my root). Do I even need a custom recovery? I don't ever plan to flash anything other than basic stock firmware, though I may toy around with Xposed in the future. Also as a sidenote, im currently using ART instead of Dalvik. If any method or technique might conflict with that (other than Xposed), then let me know to the best of your knowledge.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Write protection will be enabled on 4.4.2. You can have root, but a shutdown or hard reboot will erase the changes you make that are root oriented.

As far as getting to 4.4.2.....tonnes of info already here...multiple threads.

Here's a basic guide...and Google can help too. Read any thread related to 4.4.2 and locked bootloaders. ;)

[Moto X Q&A] Ctrl-Freak:
I am using safestrap on my locked AT&T moto to get 4.4.2 + root + r/w on system - works perfectly.

(I modified the OTA to create a flashable zip that patches stock 4.4 up to 4.4.2, without updating the bootloader. I have an untested 4.4.2 flashable zip, and when the official SBF is released, I'll make another and test it myself.)
[Moto X Q&A] NameLessThugZero:
Honestly i dont even care to have an unlocked bootloader. I just realy need root after I update. Write protection, so far i think, i've only needed for AdAway to work on my phone, though Im sure I have used or applied it else on my device. And thanks for the thread, but I was already subscribed :P.
[Moto X Q&A] NameLessThugZero:
While I would like to test that out further for you, I have only one phone lol. I very lightly looked in safestrap sometime ago when I was trying to find how to root previous versions of my phones software. Back then I didn't feel I needed it, as I was and still am trying to keep things simple this time around with my Android device. I'll look into it again and see if needs have changed, but would reeeeeally like to just find a way to get root after updating. Your way does actually sound enticing however.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
The only ways to use 4.4.2 Rooted with Write Protection DISABLED is the Safestrap way, or to unlock your bootloader.

Since you have AT&T, Moto doesn't give out the code to unlock your bootloader (Non-Developer Edition Verizon phones are the same way.) so if you really want to unlock your bootloader, see -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/verizon-moto-maker-bootloader-unlock-t2680651 I know the thread title says VERIZON but it works for ATT users too.
[Moto X Q&A] NameLessThugZero:
I see, thanks for the explanation, because I certainly wouldn't have know it was for AT&T users too! I'll check them out.
[Moto X Q&A] Ctrl-Freak:
Right. You want a modified version of the OTA that does not modify your bootloader and will patch /system from 4.4 to 4.4.2. I also manually patched the kernel up to 4.4.2.

And, my experience is that you also have to downgrade to 4.2.2. I don't quite understand why, but I have never been able to upgrade to 4.4.x (neither from the 4.4 leak or the official 4.4 version) without going back to 4.2.2 first. The eclipse ROM instructions, on the other hand, suggest that a safestrap:twrp factory wipe might be enough, but I remember trying that once, and it didn't work. YMMV

I already made a zip to flash a full copy of 4.4.2 (not a patch) that I made from my system dump, but it hasn't been tested. (I'm waiting for the SBF.)
[Moto X Q&A] NameLessThugZero:
Alright. Well I guess I'll have to wait a bit for someone to come out or prove there's a safer, surer method to update. Moto always did like to make thing like this difficult, heh.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] wingdo:
I have a Note 10.1 2014 and have just picked up a Note Pro 12.2. While I am still debating whether to keep both and if not, which one to keep, I have run across an issue I ran into a long time ago. I am trying to keep LectureNotes synced between the two devices, and as happened with my original note and HTC Flyer (used only for backup purposes), using DropSync to keep both devices in sync with each other, causes an occasional delete on one device which seems to propagate to the other device. I have again lost a couple very important notebooks.

What is the best way to keep two devices in sync with each other? Perhaps I am not setting dropsync up correctly, are there suggestions for that? Perhaps there is a better / safer app than dropsync ..... Any and all suggestions appreciated.
