While I'd love a working TWRP, CWM is working and while not the same, does what we need it to for now.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MultiDev:
If anyone reading this did end up with a 600 doorstop, hope is not lost at all.

Only the recovery is bad.

Just reboot into the bootloader (HBOOT), and use fastboot to load CWM or the stock recovery.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jmz:
Working TWRP. Has been tested. Two bugs are listed below.

http://androidfiles.org/?developer=M8WLV&folder=Recoveries

No exFAT support at all.

Random segfaults right before you do an action or right after. I.E. right after flashing a rom, right before backing up, right after restoring. It will always just restart TWRP. Not try to boot into system.

If backing up takes forever, uncheck compression
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
Would the "No ExFAT" part explain the hotboots I'm seeing on the working version posted earlier? My 64GB SD is formatted ExFAT.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jmz:
Well the hotboots don't seem to be part of that. You just can't write to exfat. you can read from them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
OK, that would explain the error when TWRP tried to create the folder. After I created it manually, the hotboots started. No big deal for me though, I have enough internal space to hold a backup.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Q 5:
I am trying to encrypt my sprint GS3 but the encrypting is not working at all.

I made sure the battery is %100 full. I create a good password of letters and numbers. I select encrypt device and wait for it to finish and reboot. After all that, the device reboots like normally and doesn't ask for password in boot menu.

Only when the phone comes to the home screen does it ask for password to unlock the screen.

Right now I have on it the stock android 4.3 rooted.

My encryption used to work fine before on android 4.2 but I forgot to unencrypted the device before upgrading and I think that's what broke the encryption system.

I don't know what other details I need to include here. I have searched google but I couldn't find any posts that describe my situation.

Please Help.

Thank you!

Hi.. I m kinda new to geeb.

I like to use miracast with my lg HDTV. The phone pairs and connects perfectly on any jellybean rom. But on kitkat roms, it just doesn't. I have tried all possible ROMs and kernels.

Also I cannot send music or video files over WiFi direct to the HDTV. But same works on the jellybean ROMs.

Am I missing something or kitkat ROMs/kernels for geeb do not support this yet?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

G2 used to work with Cdma sim out of the box. Now with the KK4.4.2 it does not.

It says "Service Disabled" on lockscreen, anybody has any idea about this ?

Also if GSM is unlocked, when the phone boots up, for a second the lockscreen says Service Disabled then shifts to No Service & finally it lokcs on to the GSM network.

NV data ONKY works if GSM is locked.

If GSM is unlocked, CDMA NV mode calls and sms work but data it says "unable to establish a wireless data connection "

If you have your phones SPC or MSL, Then connect DFS, send spc, goto NV tab, read from 39939 to 39940, select the NV thats showing below and see the first value is 01 or 00, if its 01, change value to 00, save and write that NV and mode reset. Data should work after that.

hi vinod ji,

I have seen your precious inputs in XDA developers.com and riweb.

really thankful to you.

I have LG LS980 sprint phone and its works fine since 2 years with GSM network. It's already installed SuperSU.

Now I want to use it with Reliance CDMA network so I have followed your instruction of NV to RUIM conversion. After doing this its work but after one call network is disabled and I need to restart it.

I have tried to disable bloated apps from sprint but not succeed. after reboot my phone shows Hand free activation message continuously.

I tried to root it also but I think its already rooted for GSM and because of that it is not going to root. Also I want to inform you I updated my phone with lollipop version.

Please give me proper instruction so I can use my phone with CDMA as well as GSM network.

I am waiting for your reply. you are only one who can help me out of this.

Thanks & Regards:

I was trying to install bad seeds sense 6 and sadly did not back up and did not had any old rom as aback up. the rom installed ok but i got this at the end set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed . the phone just keeps rebooting to twrp. i tried to transfer another rom via adb but im not getting my commands right, any other way to add another rom. or way to update my twrp ? please help?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Here's what to do (before having to RUU):

boot into TWRP;

connect USB cable;

adb shell into the device;

adb shell

see if /sdcard is ok (meaning you didn't mistakenly flash entirely the wrong ROM or something):

ls /sdcard

if the above shows files is a list of tings you recognize (like Downloads, Ringtones, whatever), two things are ok: i) your data area; and ii) your adb is working, then issue these commands (for good measure):

umount /system
exit

Using TWRP normally (use the touch screen), Wipe the following: system, cache, dalvik-cache, data;

Now, push a ROM file you want, for now I'd suggest one of the Sense 5.5 ROMs -- at least until the Sense 6 ROMs stabilize a bit more and we've had time to settle out all the new idiosynchrasies). Once downloaded, you'll have some zip file, let's call it "myrom.zip" for the purpose of commands (it'll be something different, just use the actual file name instead of myrom.zip below):

adb push myrom.zip /sdcard

Using the TWRP touch interface, just install the rom from /sdcard/myrom.zip

Just fyi -- the Sense 6 Roms have been exhibiting some oddities for folks in recoveries -- the issue actually is not the ROM, rather in the ext4 file system and some file system metadata bugs when dropping so many files in one shot as the ROM installer zips are doing. I've been debugging this in my TWRP builds and will be putting an option in to cover for the problem (it's deep in the android of ext4, believe it or not -- the kernel is detecting a problem and remounting the file systems read-only and that's what makes the install fail).

Hope this helps.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] kmacho714:
twrp sideload

sorry but i feel so ignorant. i installed the drivers and have the rom ready, but how to i the phone to adb shell. do i go to mount on twrp or on the advance settings adb sideload? when i put adb shell in the command prompt but it says adb not recognized. i would really appreciate your help if you could help me with more detail if possible.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdhite:
Goodness -- I thought you were all setup for adb and understood this stuff.

Here's what you need to do *first*, then follow the instructions above after you get adb working. To "adb shell" in to the phone -- you will boot into TWRP, which starts the adb server on the phone. But you use your computer and a "command terminal" window. We have to have this one way or another, so you have to learn. You will plug in your USB cable to the phone and computer, then the commands will work -- yes, they will work with TWRP.

To setup the adb stuff, learn here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277892 and look for Question 8

[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] isidromxz:
This tool is great for when you like to try different roms or likes to modify

the phone's original software, but I don't think this will back up/ recover the IMEI

most common problems would be fixed with a simple stock rom flash over odin.

Some of the older models of the galaxy line did relate the IMEI to the efs or nv items,

making it more accessible and easier to recover and mess with

but with the new Samsung phones like S5 and Note 3 it's a more complicated

and harder to recover or modify.

There is a reason why hacking tools like z3x box don't support Note3, S5 because

even with adb and root if you try to modify this very sensitive area of the phone and replace or recover the IMEI the phone will

loose some if not all wireless services and leave 000 IMEI.

That's just my 2cents

PS... Don't even waste your time trying to replace your IMEI by restoring the efs from a "Good" phone

because it wont work, like I said the IMEI is not located in these files and it's ILEGAL to do so.
