DON'T try to flash any roms that are not made for your device. You will probably brick your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Prashantthemusicvirus:
well the reason am asking coz Xolo A500s z exactly the same Operating System + chipset + configuration + Processor + RAM as Xolo A600... The only difference z the screen size wich is 4.0 for A500s & 4.5 for A600..

I have heard of something like changing boot.img before flashing it !!

[LG G Flex] deadenz:
I rooted my flex and wanted to know if there was an app like Rom Toolbox Pro that I used with my LG Optimus L9 and LG G Pro. is there an app like this yet... if not can you please recommend some apps that will do pretty much the same things. for example: change dpi, custom fonts globally, other tweaks, etc. also is there a good way to put a custom recovery on here. I read a thread about it and also another one that said use freegee pro. it's a D95010n. would I benefit more from going back to stock 10c or 10l?
[LG G Flex] bbobarino:
Xposed modules rock for this phone and make your phone extremely customizable . I wouldnt use rom toolbox some1 soft bricked using a font from that app not sure if app is incompatible or if that person did something wrong but either way
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
They probably did something wrong cuz I've been using Romtoolbox PRO for years and on this phone with no issue. Its my go to source for root browser or build prop editing. But the fonts from ROM toolbox don't seem to stick after reboot. Think it has something to do with the stock software being odexed. So after several attempts to change fonts with romtoolbox and nothing happening good or bad I doubt that's what soft bricked your buddies phone. The boot animations work good. Even the tablet specific animations.

Most of ROM toolbox pro works good for this phone but there is an issue with it soft bricking your phone when trying to change fonts.. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Soft bricked my g pro changing a font. I'm wanting to know another way to change my fonts on the flex.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alonso1398:
Hello, my device is a Samsung Galaxy Music and I've been trying to make a device tree and needed to get the proprietary files. Using ADB in windows, I wanted to execute the extract-files.sh in my stock rom and if I'm correct it should be inside /vendor/samsung/ivoryss in my case, however, the vendor folder exists but inside there are only two files: a folder called pittpatt and a file named gfx.fw . Also used a command to search files and searched for extract-files.sh however it wasn't there. Do I'm doing something wrong? Should I do it from a linux OS like Ubuntu? Also I downloaded the source from the Samsung Open Source Release Center. Are there the proprietary files?

My phone is rooted and it has USB debugging activated.

Edit: Also I tried extracting boot.img and its files however it has exactly the same files of recovery.img so I'm completely lost...

Edit2: Oh I'm sorry, I should had post this on Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting, is there a way to move it without reposting it?

got my htc one today from who i thought was a nice lady, turned out to be a ....yeah...that, she showed me it working but as soon as it went dead, it never came back on, turns out the phones bricked i think

it was on a tablet custom rom, as im trying to flash the stock rom but im not very good at doing this, i cant find a working recovery that allows me to mount system as it cant have a memory card, no success, i can only get into bootloader fastboot thingy and use the cmd adb thingy,

also i cant boot the phone up as normal, i tried earlier but it satys on the htc screen, the fist screen when u switch it on my device details are as follows

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manups4e:
use fastboot to change recovery.u can download cwm from rommanager site (M7), then, after power on the device in fastboot (vol down + power on), in cmd type: fastboot flash recovery "recoveryname".img (the name change on what you download. you are now good to boot into cwm recovery.

now you can sideload a rom from pc. in the recovery wipe data then select flash update zip from sideload and after downloading the rom you wanted you can type adb sideload rom.zip (rom name change on what you download). and bam you have flashed a rom from pc to phone and you could now reboot your phone...it's an international m7 so look for gsm roms only
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardstuffmuc:
If you are planning to flash a kit Kat 4.4.2 you need latest recovery. TWRP comes highly recommended.

When in fastboot mode open cmd window on your Windows computer (search box type in cmd) point to your adb/fastboot folder where you also downloaded your recovery) and type then:

fastboot erase cache

fastboit flash recovery name-of-your-recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

Now you can boot into your recovery, in TWRP you do another wipe (factory reset or under Advanced tap select only cache+dalvik+system) and sideload a ROM from there.

I suggest to use a Sense ROM first, and of those one with Sense 5.5 as Sense 6.0 ROMa are still in their early stages and not 100% stable yet.

Under stickies in the Android Developer section you find loads of info regarding flashing/recovery ect.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamiethompson123:

Current Status for m8 Bootloader Unlock / S-Off: RELEASED

Update 4/6/14: A Firewater S-Off method is released for the HTC M8. Please see the following tweet: https://twitter.com/firewaterdevs/status/452934672063156224

Go here to do it: http://firewater-soff.com/

----(Begin Old OP)----

The HTC M8 has launched for Big Red, and much to our dismay, HTCDev does not allow for us to unlock the bootloader through the traditional avenues.

Presently, there is no known workaround.

Thus, this is a thread for conversations regarding any progress being made on a bootloader unlock/S-Off method for the VZW HTC One M8.

Try to avoid being speculative as much as possible. Please post any updates you see in other threads and on other sites. Also, if notable champions of previous unlock methods/exploits want to post their efforts here (*ehem beaups et. al...), by all means, feel free!

This is not a bounty thread.

Had my M8 since yesterday morning. I tried HTC Dev Unlock as soon as I got it hoping it would work. No such luck. I hope I'm wrong but I think we have a long, long wait for S-Off.

On the M7 there was a 5k bounty to get S-Off. It took from March 8th until October 7th to get S-Off on the M7. Last I heard only around 1/2 the money was ever received by beaups.

No one has been able to achieve S-Off with software on any M7 with 4.4.2 so I doubt anything is close on the M8.

I'll use a java card like I did on my m7. Anyone heard of that for the m8?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
jtag service. They need to take your phone apart, pass. I'm sure the Java card would work too but most are looking for a software exploit. Other methods are risky and mean your need to send you phone away. Unless you want to buy a 1200 Java card.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
Had no clue what the meant I just seen the Twitter post..I wouldn't do that either. Lol I used java card service was fast an smooth just saying.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
Sure, if you get someone upstanding. The java card method is not risky, it's sending your phone through the mail to a stranger and getting it back in 1 piece that is risky.

The only solution for the majority of users is a software exploit. That I think is a long way off. Just my opinion and hope I'm wrong..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andrewp3481:
Have you seen the breakdown for this phone?its super hard to open.

I don't want to sound like a hater. Cause I'm not. I hope we get s-off. But I also don't understand why people on Verizon are so shocked we don't get phones that are unlockable.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andrewp3481:
Like I said...I hope we get s-off. I've just noticed a trend with myself...and I don't need root like I thought I "needed" it a few years back.

The only things I use root for is WiFi Tether, Titanium Backup and occasionally I like to flash CM...but I always find myself going back to and Sense.

Hopefully Beaups will hook it up. Cross your fingers and say a prayer if you believe in that sort of thing.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GetRipped:
To have access to all fastboot commands either an unlocked boot loader or modified hboot is required. This isn't any sort of problem though with soff because fastboot loses usefulness on the user end. Kernels are able to be flashed through recovery after soff.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scotty1223:
further,since unsigned files can be flashed,hboot,radios,boot image,splash,etc. can all be zipped up with a proper android info text document and flashed via fastboot/ruu mode.

an unlocked bootloader is not required when s off,tho it does not hurt anything either and the "lock status" flag is easily changed with adb
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
It's only partially S = Off, as far as I know there are still partitions we can't write to and the bootloader is still locked.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scotty1223:
There us no partial s off. S off is s off... You've obviously read something and taken it the wrong way,and not read the couple posts above explaining why a locked broader is not of any relevance(and the fact it will be unlockable)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
I think you're confusing the current root situation with the upcoming S-OFF... We have root, but it only grants us access to a certain directory (I can't remember which one). But S-OFF gives us access to everything. It's like a master security switch. Once we have S-OFF, we can do anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
Not to argue semantics, S = Off means Security is off. As long as some partitions are un-writable, Security is NOT off, it's only partially off and the locked bootloader IS of great relevance to some of us.

As always, YMMV
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scotty1223:
Lol I'm well aware what s off means.

Why do you think some partitions will be unwritable? :confused:

An s off phone(as was pictured) is completely free of any security.

Again,you're confused,prolly about the upcoming s off,and the current temp root as stated above.

Read what i wrote... You can unlock if you want,without even submitting personal info to HTC,after s off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
Not confusing anything, "coming" doesn't mean it's here.

Correct, I'm eagerly awaiting the day.

NOTE: I patiently waited a VERY long time while the devs worked on the Samsung lockdown, so far, no success. I hope the HTC devs have better luck.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scotty1223:
Now you are definately arguing semantics. The devs allready have had better luck,and you have a short wait while the bugs are ironed out for a safe tool. The Twitter pic indicates a large achievement,for wich you should be greatful and

NOT

post things that very much appear to be impatient begging
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Frankie1588:
S-OFF has already been achieved. We are just awaiting release:

https://twitter.com/firewaterdevs/status/452269087083614208
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
I agree it was achieved but still needed testing. Anything could happen during testing that might prevent it from being released in the near future. I'm just happy they have achieved it. Not holding my breath on it being released in the near future. I sure hope it does, but not assuming it will be,
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 123421342:
The bootloader is locked possibly because the devs have an exploit that does not require it. S off means security checks are nullified. This means that you can do *anything* to the phone. Want to unlock the bootloader? Throw a few commands at it, edit this and edit that and bam, unlocked just because you can edit thing freely. Once you have s-off, everything becomes editable.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Frankie1588:
Exactly. I would love if it was released soon. I am constantly checking the forums for an update haha. I will be patient though. It took quite a bit longer to S-OFF the M7 from what I can remember. I remember you from that forum haha.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
Yup, I got my M7 in August and I think it was October when we got a software S-Off. The Dev's are way ahead of where they were at this point last year with the M7.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fronc:
Not possible for us, anyways. But I'll keep the OP accurate.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Frankie1588:
I got it day 1 and was able to unlock it via HTCDev which was awesome haha. Sucks that wasn't an option this time around. Either way I am psyched that S-Off was achieved this soon. Got my S-Off pledge ready! :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shojus:
I seriously hope everyone pays up this time cause it makes us all look bad when people back out. That said, I got mine S-Off'd via java card and it's on it's way back to me but I am still donating what I said I would. Great devs we have in here!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mchief298:
Will donate. Would hate myself if I didn't.

M8, nuff said.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zounduser:
Scotty knows what he's talking about. Lol. S-off means it's the ****ing king of all android! It's the holy grail! It's the ring! Lol. With s-off, we don't need unlocked bootloader. U can do so if u please. By adb/fastboot commands. The possibilities are endless. And I for one, can not wait for it!

And hey Scotty, good seeing u bro, it's been awhile.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Mike02z:
Last I heard, beaups got about 1/2 of the bounty pledged for S-Off on the M7. Darn shame. I know these guys don't do this stuff for money but it sucks when people make pledges and don't pay up when due.

I know some have said they were having "financial difficulty" and that is a shame but if you think you might not have the money, don't pledge.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shojus:
I live in financial hardship but my word is my bond! Don't say ur gonna donate $100 if you can't, point blank. They don't do it for the money anyways but we ALL should be smashing that donate button when it drops! I think the people who don't follow through should be put on blast...
