[Verizon HTC One (M8)] fronc:
Quick Update: a Firewater S-Off method is being tested for stability, but all signs point to a near-future S-Off release!

See: https://twitter.com/firewaterdevs/status/452269087083614208/photo/1
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] coldconfession13:
Oh how much I would like to test it
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kidwolf908:
Good grief that was fast! I remember the Rezound took damn near a year to get S-OFF.

But this screen shot does say M8_WLV... not LVW the way our SKU is laid out (HTC6525LVW). Hope I'm just making a deal over nothing.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gomorrah:
You are. If you go to your bootloader, your phone also says M8_WLV. And you can see in the pic he changed his CID to VZW_001. It's a Verizon M8. :laugh:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] kidwolf908:
Yup I was sure I was! But thanks for clarifying!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] alershka:
As soon as this is released I am running (not walking) to go buy one. Vzw is super slow on updates but I don't want to take a chance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] darkcroc:
As soon as this is released im s-offing both my m8s (please note if any dev needs a tester for roms im here i have a personal m8 and a m8 for testing so hmu if you need help testing anything)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wera750:
Is this s off method going to work for other carriers?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mchief298:
Aren't other carriers already set?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wera750:
I'm honestly brand new to HTC devices. I've had everything but HTC. I thought even with unlocked bootloader we still wanted s off? Please correct me if I am wrong.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] oneandroidnut:
dont care about bootloader with s-off. it can be locked with soff and wont hurt us at all. s-off overrides all
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
S-Off is King. Then custom recovery, then root via custom recovery, bada bing bada boom!!!!!! Custom recovery already here just fixing the bugs now, once S-Off is released we allllll gooooddd!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] oneandroidnut:
yup yup!!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wera750:
So I'm correct in thinking other carriers will benefit from s off. That being the case, I hope the vzw method works for all carriers.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jcase:
Yes
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
You can ever do all fastboot commands with your bootloader locked?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] oneandroidnut:
Yup
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
I was under the impression with s-off stock locked bootloader most commands don't work. There for if you stay locked you need a modified one. Or unlock an then you can use stock one
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] oneandroidnut:
Oops on the thanks lol

And on my m7 & htc one max I was locked with soff and never had an issue
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
I'm almost happy with the M8 as is...

I'd like S = Off and full root but only to remove bloat. I came from Samsung S3 & S4 and I don't hate HTC's Sense like I did Samsung's TouchWiz.

I've pretty much removed the annoyances of Sense by installing Nova Launcher and customizing all the screens to my wants. I can't remove the VZW bloat or all of Sense but I no longer see any of it!

Does anyone here realize what a GREAT phone HTC has built? I'm getting WiFi and LTE signals stronger than the S3 or S4 ever did, the top On/Off switch doesn't get poked by accident as the Samsung's side mounted switch did, the screen is more responsive and I don't have to carry a shirt pocket full of batteries to get through a day (I was worried about the non-replaceable battery but so far, it's adequate for my needs.)

So come on, Devs, PLEASE get us an unlocked bootloader and full root but I can wait as long as needed and be VERY happy with my locked down phone!

Why are you begging for anything when s-off has already been achieved and is basically going through testing now?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] headblade:
I installed the (awesome) rom update, and everything about my phone is better, but I can barely hear callers and adjusting the in call slider seems to do nothing! If anyone has suggestions, that would be great..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
There's a cab file floating around that changes the max volume entries in the registry. I'll be on the lookout for it, but you might have luck finding it searching for "volme fix" or some such.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] headblade:
After further research, SIM & CID unlocking, flashing to the MRClean ROM, and checking every volume fix post, I realize the slider for in-call volume is the problem... Using the hardware button slider or the stylus, my slider moves, but no change in volume either way!

Can't find answer anywhere!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxrichievxxx:
Hey everyone!

So, I've just flashed 3/26 on my phone and I just seen that they are fixing some issues with the nightly I just flashed.

I'm quite a flash-aholic and I enjoy flashing a lot, although I feel like I should just stick to one nightly if things are going good and there are no problems.

Now my question is, is it possible to just fix the issues manually rather than having to reflash again? I don't believe in dirty flashing, idk why but it doesn't make me feel real comfortable lol

I am able to use adb commands and how to reset my phone back to stock in case of an emergency (or restore from a backup)
[Xperia SP General] tico_ssa:
Hi, speak from Brazil.

I'm here to warn you guys that the themes of Sony, those new (cute) themes simple put our Xperia SP to bootloop, don't use them in any circunstances.

I've made a lot of test in the firmware 12.1.0.266 and when i put any of those damn themes and turn off my phone, it justs enter in bootloop mode when i try to turn it on again.

Then i have to use SUS to recovery phone.

I'll repeat

DO NOT USE THE NEW THEMES IN ANY CIRCUNSTANCES.

UNFORTUNATELY SONY MESSED UP OUT PHONE.

just wanna warn you guys, sorry about the english.
[Xperia SP General] jose78987:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2690742 this is the solution for Xperia V, T, TX...maybe work in your SP sorry for my bad english
[Xperia SP General] tico_ssa:
Problem is that i don't wanna root my phone

The problem is that i can't root my phone, don't wanna lose my drm keys or bravia engine...
[Xperia SP General] ohmygel:
What themes?i am using the amazing spider themes and it works for me except the volume can't be seen. I tried restarting my phne and still works
[Xperia SP General] QBerto:
Yeah what themes are u speaking of?

I tried.... Blue Water, Clean Foggy, Color Pixel, Craftsmanship, Noir, Amazing Spider-man 2, Tri Flat, Winter Snow, Woody and no one gimme problems.... well I lost volume bar xD, but all working good

I don't know if there are 4.4 exclusive themes, that ones could cause problems in SP, I hope u're not speaking of that (I repeat, I dunnno if there are 4.4 exlcusives)...
[Xperia SP General] tico_ssa:
Yeaa

Yea, at first everything was ok for me too, then, after a month my phone just don't boot to android when i put any theme that's not android's default theme.

For example:

If i put the theme Rock on or Craftsmanship or even Comic Pirate the phone works flawless, ok.... when i turn off my phone, it gets to bootloop when i turn it on again, this happens with any theme that's not android's default.

The only fix for that is using sus and wiping all data from the phone.

Sorry about the english, im just warning you, it can happen to any of you...My advice is to not use them and preven't futures headaches like i'm having losing all my data because of those damn themes.
[Xperia SP General] Pulsa:
[MENTION=5701001]tico_ssa[/MENTION] me and my friends didn't experienced it after a month using custom themes
[Xperia SP General] UltraWelfare:
I used too custom themes...Don't know what's the problem but they work fine for me ^_^
[Xperia SP General] pec0ra:
How many time did it happen to you?
[Xperia SP General] QBerto:
oh.... that's weird indeed...

In my case I has to reboot phone a lot of times with custom themes, trying to get my volume bar again xD and nothing happened.... nor get my volume bar QQ xD

this is then another bug 4.3 related, as always, just happens in certain devices, can u share what model and what file system you have, mine is C5302 global 4.3

And you try using another tft?
[Xperia SP General] tico_ssa:
My Firmware

My model is the C5303, using the 12.1.A.0.266 ANDROID 4.3

Strange issue...
[Xperia SP General] Davalz:
Same problem here when I update to 4.3, but I solved the bootloop removing SIM card and starting the phone again, and after that set any stock theme. Try this! maybe it works for you
[Xperia SP General] greek_assassin:
It's been fixed now
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
ya .0.266 has this problem, at first i didnt get bootloop but after a while i started getting many

latest update, .1.201 has it fixed, so u shud update
[Google Chromecast] vincent1964:
Using a hybrid version of previous XBMC Chromecast solutions, all file types can now be watched on the Chromecast from Computer. This is without a doubt the best FREE computer XBMC solution available.

Instructional Video - http://youtu.be/H9N86ZIM47E

Nothing will work if you don't have chrome.exe and vlc.exe in these exact directories.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe

You also need to know the local ip address of your computer and the port which for me is http://192.168.1.10:8080

Step 1. Go into Chrome Browser and add the Google Cast Extension at

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-cast/boadgeojelhgndaghljhdicfkmllpafd?hl=en

Step 2. Download and install XBMC Windows version 12.3 Frodo at

http://xbmc.org/download/

Step 3. Download modified for chrome playercorefactory.xml at

http://www.mediafire.com/view/gdf9yqpg3b9uk9i/playercorefactory.xml

Place modified for chrome playercorefactory.xml in the system folder using the following path.

C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\system\

Step 4. Download the VLC Player 64 Bit Version

http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win64/

Setup Vlc Player - 64 Bit

1.)Tools...Preferences....Show Settings-All....Interface....Main Interface.....Click Web so it's Checkmarked.

2.)Click little arrow to the left of Interface, Click Lua and enter a password.

Step 5. Download the flv.exe file.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/tvc9dxja2xc1scr/flv.exe

Step 6. Demonstration

Start Chromecast

Start XBMC

Start your show - Click the Cast Button. If the video is in .mp4 or .mkv format, the Chrome Browser should automatically play the video and allow you to cast to your Television.

If the video is in .flv format, Chrome will try to download the file. Stop the download. You will now need the flv.exe file. This flv.exe file lets you transcode the video using VLC and then plays the Video over your local network through Vidcast.

So copy the video link from chrome address bar and close chrome browser. Start the flv.exe which will ask you for the video link which you can paste into the text box and also for your Local Ip Address:Port

The flv.exe will open VLC and begin to transcode the video and also reopen the chrome browser with your network address ready to go. Wait for the transcoding line to start moving in VLC Player and then hit enter on the chrome browser to start the stream and lastly hit the chromecast streaming button. The Video should now begin to play on the Television.

Good Luck!
[Google Chromecast] sfahadzb:
Thanks for the tutorial...but links are not pasted correctly. Please fix them.. Looking forward to using this
[Google Chromecast] ucraiova88:
you can get them from the video description.

btw, thank you for this tutorial...i got all the files but i didn't have the time to check if it works.i will get back when i'll check
[Google Chromecast] vincent1964:
Fixed Links

Ok, I fixed the links.

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] vincent1964:
Hi, Forgot to mention this also works with local files. Just replace the http link with a local link. So Instead of http://www.avifile.com put path to your local file C:\users\file.avi.

Works in W7 32bits?

Thanks!

I have everything set up as it should and google chrome opens up, but it is always asking me to download movie files (avi, mkv etc..).

Can anyone help?

[Google Chromecast] vincent1964:
Hi,

Did you try the second part of instructions? It sounds like you only did the first part where you can't play those types of files?
[Google Chromecast] ahse0w:
hi does this work with xbmc 13 beta3?
[Google Chromecast] vincent1964:
Hi, I'm not sure. I haven't tried it with that version. Sorry
[Google Chromecast] FotAd:
Same problem here and i can't figure where it went wrong.:confused:
[Google Chromecast] vincent1964:
Did you download the flv.exe for playing those type of files?
[Google Chromecast] kopuz042:
When I run flv.exe it doesn't appear to do anything... Anyone else seeing this?
[Google Chromecast] fastracer:
Yeah the flv.exe tries tio open a command prompt window then disappears...I've tried so many times...won't work
[Google Chromecast] vincent1964:
Did you guys check this part?

flv.exe will not work if you don't have chrome.exe and vlc.exe in these exact directories.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe

C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
If your Windows is not English, or Windows is not installed on C:, your Program Files path may be different.

Open Command Prompt and

echo %programfiles%

This is the 64-bit Program Files on 64-bit Windows.

This is the 32-bit Program Files path on 32-bit Windows.

In English 64-bit Windows this is usually C:\Program Files

In English 32-bit Windows this is usually C:\Program Files

echo %programfiles(x86)%

This is the 32-bit Program Files path on 64-bit Windows.

This environment variables doesn't exist in 32-bit Windows.

In English 64-bit Windows this is usually C:\Program Files (x86)

In English 32-bit Windows this variable doesn't exist.
[Google Chromecast] vincent1964:
Bhiga,

Thanks for that explanation. I did'nt know there was a different path for non-english.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yup, and it's based in the core OS language, so it's not affected by the regional settings.*

It's also stored in the registry somewhere, though I don't know where offhand.

It's one of the common errors that plagues installers too.

That, and hard-coding the start menu shortcut path. That broke a lot of things when Vista came along and changed where the user profiles are stored. BTW, that's %userprofile% for the current user

And for good measure, AppData aka Application Data is %appdata% - and since this can map to either path\Local or path\Roaming, if you need to ensure you're in a specific one, jump up a level then drop into the hole you want with %appdata%\..\Local or %appdata%\..\Roaming

* Not-so-fun side note: Regional settings do affect native formatting commands for dates and numbers. This can adversely affect conversion and parsing of these items if source/parser is fixed and parser/source is using regional settings that don't match the fixed expectation. It can also be problematic if source/parser are both using regional settings but they don't match.

This affects delimiters as well, case in point, a comma-separated CSV from Excel will be interpreted fine with US Regional Settings but will open the file as a single cell with most European Regional Settings as they use comma for decimal, ie, one and a half in US would be 1

.

5, but in European regions it's 1

,

5.

I was going to do all this step by step....But then i Just streamed a movie to my tv with no xbmc or anyother trick.

downloaded chrome and chromecast plugin.

then i installed a plugin to browse local files...i THINK IS NOT NEEDED but somehow i went to file:///c:/ and from there went to my folder with movies click on them and then click on the cast tab to chromecast and it worked... not with all the files but youll figure it out
[Google Chromecast] jpgobert:
DreamStream?

I don't post on stuff like this very often but I came across a Windows app named DreamStream yesterday while searching for a solution to stream whatever I felt like from my media library to my ChromeCast. It comes in two editions: free & premium. I started with the free edition and to say it worked flawlessly is an understatement. The free version is limited as to what file formats it will stream but once registered it will stream just about anything, transcoding as necessary, and takes very little system resources to work its magic. I went through and found as many different video file types as I could between all of my drives I'm carrying around and there wasn't a single one that didn't stream perfectly.

I swear I have no affiliation with the people who made this software... It only costs $20 for a one year license (or $1.99 /mo if you prefer)... I could have gone the route of installing Plex or XBMC but the PC I'm having to use right now is my Lenovo Helix for work... I wanted to find something that was more of a tool that would let me pick a video, click play and have it just work... and that's exactly what I found in this app. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but if you're interested then ask Google about WonderShare DreamStream and it'll be the first or second result in the list.
[Google Chromecast] TurboLed:
Dreamstream looks fantastic on paper but it's developed in China, and on both my computers (one laptop with Win8-64, one desktop with Win7-32) the application doesn't start. I see the splash screen coming then nothing. I'm looking for a way to make it work.
[Google Chromecast] jpgobert:
RE:

I've installed on two different PC's both running Windows 8.1 Pro x64... both worked right away and have been trouble free... not sure what could be causing you grief... have you tried communicating with their support folks? If so, how effective are they?

On the China bit I havent noticed any odd behavior or traffic... i'll keep a look out though... for now it really feels legit for me...
[Google Chromecast] TurboLed:
I had wrote a support ticket but never got any answer back.

But I found my problem!!!

Basically, my two PCs had a locked Q: drive (for Microsoft Office One-Click). The Wondershare software was trying to access the Q: drive and failed because it's locked. There was no error message, no popup. I have found the error with Visual Studio debugger.

Uninstalling Microsoft One-Click removed the Q: drive and Dreamstream started working properly.
[Google Chromecast] BinaryFabric:
Can anyone confirm if this works with local MKV files with DTS and Dolby Digital Audio?

Thanks in advance
