So I really want to do this, but I am still learning how all the M8 stuff works. I just got it 2 days ago and have been finding threads for it but I have a few questions.

I am still on 4.4.2 stock with S-off through SunShine and I have SU installed, root is working.

Since this Zip seems to be for the latest OTA, can I run the OTA without loosing root?

If not, can I use this zip and get tethering on 4.4.2?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
If you want this but to stay on 4.4.2 click the second button and will show the old one for 4.4.2

If you flash the OTA you will loose root however you will remain s off so just reflash twrp or cwm and flash the su zip (see for su.zip by chainfire)

Then flash this in recovery.

Or make the changes yourself to your current default.xml

Slow speed while tethering

runandhide05,

First, thanks for all the effort!

A SpeedTest run directly on my m8 shows around 20Mbps, but my tethered devices only get around 2Mbps. Any ideas?

Updated for 4.4.4?

I'm on 4.4.2 but was planning in making the jump to 4.4.4. Wanted to check compatibility before I make any jump. Thanks and good work!

Me Stupid

So a few days days ago got an M8 rooted and s offed then in my haste for free tethering i went and flashed this apk without reading all of it! So im on 3uk and this is for Verizon, so you can see were me trouble lies ! My phone now thinks its Verizon, but the only problem i have is that i cant send texts! Every else works including the tether! Also in my brightness i never backed up before i flashed , so i was wondering if anyone knows how i could revert back to before i flashed the apk!? Cheers!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
Well you still are missing something that the last paragraph says. You are not flashing an apk. Your flashing an xml file. Located in the /system/customize/ACC/ called default.xml

Find whatever Rom you had, take that file out of that Rom and replace it with what you flashed, if you were on a stock Rom don't know what to tell you.

Wanted to follow up. Will I need to re-flash this if I upgrade to 4.4.4?

No Wifi after OTA

[MENTION=3900214]runandhide05[/MENTION], Could you please give step by step instructions to restore the file?

In an effort take the OTA, I substituted the default.xml file from the 4.4.4 dump file into your .zip and flashed it in TWRP.

I was able to take the OTA but had no wifi upon completion. Considering there are no post about this issue, I must have installed the file incorrectly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I posted an updated zip for the current version in my RUU thread. If you flash that you might get back on track.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Icyman:
As a last resort, I could do that but honestly it took me the better part of a day to get my phone set up the way I wanted it. As I used your RUU to get from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 and then took the 4.4.4 OTA. It's exhausting to spend so many hours struggling with a phone.

And I also have the same issue with two other M8 phones. Getting this corrected is definitely my preferred option.

I definitely appreciate your work. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
No dude... you don't need the RUU. I have a TWRP flashable zip that contains just the tweaks.,

No setting up anything again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] totaman:
I wish I found it yesterday! lol. I'm not subscribing to it so I can find it later!

I ended up modifying the file manually and using Root Explorer to swap files to/from my memory card. All of the same tweaks from the previous version worked for me but I didn't bother with the other quick tiles since I never used them before.

I'm just waiting on Xposed to be updated for Lollipop with Sense Toolbox so I can tweak my settings again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
quick settings minor doesn't work anymore anyways..... did you get wifi back working?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] totaman:
Yea, I forget about the quick settings changed. Glad I didn't mess with it then!

My Wifi tether worked after I tweaked the settings for the default.XML from Lollipop. I opened the original tweaked XML file from this thread and compared it to my file from my phone after being updated to Lollipop. I think there were 2 or 3 tether related changes I made. Copied it back, set the permissions and rebooted and it worked with no other changes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Icyman:
Just to confirm:

I should restore the lollipop backup that wifi isn't turning on and then flash this zip to correct wifi issue?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
If you flashed this mod on fresh L and it broke wifi.. then yes.. my zip should straighten it out.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Icyman:
Flashing this zip did not restore wifi. :confused:

I will wait and see what runandhide05 has to say about how I flashed it.

Thanks for trying.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Did you restore boot as well?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Icyman:
No, I didn't, I didn't interpret your post as "I should flash" but as "if I did flash"

Just to make sure we are on the same page, my issue is I have no wifi at all after update to Lollipop. It's stuck at "Turning On" in tab. I'll worry about getting wifi tether working after I can connect to my wifi network.

My OTA would not go through because I had flashed the "EnableDefaultTether.zip". The OTA was only able to install after I flashed the "default.xml" from the 4.4.4 dump that you posted.

I was thinking that I need to correct the way I uninstalled the tether fix and take the OTA again. Then I can successfully update the other two M8's on my plan and with future OTA's.

Is it possible that the xml file I used wasn't the correct file for my phone? if so I could restore a backup of 4.4.3 and take the OTA to get the correct file for my phone. Ok, I'm just guessing now.

All that said. How should I proceed?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Flash this boot in fastboot and see if your wifi works again.

Got it. testing now

still not working.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Were you on any custom firmware prior to using the RUU?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Icyman:
yes, but only for the purpose of using your 4.4.3 RUU.

Does anyone have a link to a zip that will enable WiFi tether on stock 4.42? Link in the OP is not working.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
I pulled all my files on dev-host because of all the malware, misleading download links, and if you downloaded thru an android phone it would also download an apk file which god knows what kind of malware that included.

I do not have the file off hand but there was a few other threads that posted some after I did. If you search you will find them I'm sure

I have a Verizion M8 running stock 5.0.1,, 4.17.605.5, rooted with Kingroot and I changed the settings in the default.xml last year when I got the phone and I use the native hotspot with no problems. I was helping a friend with a M8 on Verizon running 5.0.1, 4.19.605,9. I install kingroot, got root access , using esfile manager I copied a new default.xml to the /system/customize/ACC folder and it copied with no problems. After the copy I browsed the file and I saw that the correct setting were shown in the xml file to enable the hotspot... After a reboot the default.xml files is back in the original state. Any ideals on why? Maybe the slightly newer software, .9 vs .5?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
The phone is temp rooted and not s-off. Therefore system protection is enabled. You don't have full write access.

Verizon S3 I535 running Jelly Bean build 19 Android 4.1.2. I want to go to build 25. I can not get past the first step which is to flash toltevzw.mj9_official_firmware.tar.md5. I have tried Odin version 1.85, 3.04, 3.06, 3.07, and 3.09 all running with admin. In download mode the S3 states unsupported device type. I have used multiple usb cords, have usb checked on the s3. Have tried having usb plugged in before starting Odin and after. Nothing works. Do I need to update to say 3.1 first and if so how? Do you have any other ideas? Thanks for your time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
t0lte is the Galaxy Note II. Idk how you got to downloading "t0lte" files when "i535" is your device model. There's not even a link in the Alliance S3 thread that would take you to the Note II forums. Does your S3 still boot up to the stock rom? List everything that is listed in download mode. All you need is Odin 3.07 and we'll go from there.

I'll be blunt, you may have already hardbricked your S3 if the t0lte tar flashed successfully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nautibuoy:
jelly bens build 25

reply: If you google jelly beans106 build 25 at the bottom it lists it runs on s3. down at the bottom it states the first step is to flash MJ9 firmware. Yes my phone is still working just fine after all the above attempts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm not sure where you are looking at, but Beans' actively maintained thread, which is now called Alliance rom, is at build 22 and has not nor ever has mentioned t0lte in the first post. I've run every Verizon S3 build since the first JB 4.1.2 "JellyBeans" release.

Edit: As long as you are rooted AND unlocked your bootloader, you can install this in CWM, TWRP, or SafeStrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
No, it does not say it runs on the S3. At the bottom, in Beanstown's signature he lists the devices he currently has and builds ROMs for. You have to go to the specific forum for your specific device to get the correct version of the ROM for your device.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brava27:
Anyone here use the GPS yet? I am curious to hear how fast it locks to satellites as my G2 sucks with the GPS and the IR blaster is weak.

Any opinions would be great. Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_c81:
I can only compare to my Note II but I can definitely notice the GPS locks a lot quicker on the M8 then it did on my Note II.

IR blaster is phenomenal! It has a greater range then all the remotes in my living room!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazypinoy9:
GPS is fast to lock on. a hell of a lot faster than my Note 3 was. Comparing to my M7 it's only marginally faster.

IR Blaster is great. slightly longer range than the M7.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerapl:
Any regrets leaving your note 2? Obviously the screen size is much smaller.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris_c81:
No regrets. If I'm brutally honest, the Note II size was an issue for me. I've got medium sized hands I suppose and using it was awkward at times. However it was awesome for comic book reading and movies etc. The M8 is a good compromise.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericbond:
The IR blaster is great, works from a pretty good range away.

GPS locks a lot faster than my old HTC Sensation that's for sure, no complaints in that department.
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
Hi,

Everytime I turn off this computer in 5pm, and open it in 8am it's changing the Language. please see attached picture.

please help.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Out of curiosity, is there some particular reason to restart the computer? Sleep uses basically no power and resumes far faster. If you leave the computer in sleep mode, does this happen? What about hibernate, if the machine supports it?
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Please check with the Startup tab on Task Manager. If you have unwanted programs starting up automatically, uncheck them and restart.

Anyway, do you have to manually reset the language settings on control panel every morning?
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
this computer is for office, so if we go home, I need to shut down this computer,

and when I open it the next day its always changing the language.

and I always need to use the 'auto system backup/restore', and same the next day,

it's about 2weeks.
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
here's the starting programs (attached)

yes, I used the 'automatic system backup' and its 3/25/14 (attached)
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Can you try disabling all the startup programs above and restart? I'm not sure it will help but if one startup program is not in English, maybe it's causing the system to change the language...

You can always revert back to your current startup settings by re-enabling the programs as on your screenshot.

Also, did you check your language settings on Control Panel?
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
this will not cause problems if I turn it all?

yes, and its by default. pictures attached

PS -

If I restart or shutdown my computer right now, It didn't change the language.

I think it's changing the next day.
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
No, it will just disable the auto-start of programs you unchecked. You can always enable it back anyway :)

Now I realize it may be a group policy because the language always changes on the morning. Is your company using it?
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
No, I'm the only one used this computer.

I'll try this. thanks (:

so... I disable the auto-start programs later, then I'll be back tomorrow to tell you what happen. thanks for helping :D
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
You're welcome :)

Btw, is one of your programs using a non-English language for its interface?

Also, is it the first time you get the problem? Did it happen suddenly or after installing something?
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
ahm no..and if yes, I don't know what program is that.

yes this is the first time, but I think it's happening about 2weeks changing language everyday, no nothing happen,

and before I start my work in the morning,

I need to System restoreback to 3/25/14

all apps/programs that I installed recently will be deleted in that date.
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Well, I think you already know this solution : if you want the easy way, just reinstall Windows :D

It can be a pain if you have lots of programs to reinstall and a slow HDD but it always works!
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
I dont know how to reinstall windows XD
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
I would be glad to help but I can't do that from internet :P

By any chance, do you have something strange in your task scheduler?
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
sorry, I dont know that. what's that? :D
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
On Control Panel, search for Schedule tasks on the search bar.
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
i see, how to use that? what's for?
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
The computer can run automated tasks at defined times, startup time or under triggers. Try to post a screenshot of what you have there (under Task Scheduler Library).
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
this?
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Yeah you got it, but I don't see anything wrong.

I don't know what the first 2 tasks do, but they were not ran today so disabling them won't hurt more.

Then the last one runs everyday but not at 8 am, I wonder what it is. Can you select it and post another screenshot?
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
Hi,

sorry for the very late reply.

I disable the start-up apps like you said on tuesday, then I open my computer now and ITS ALL OKAY!!! :D:D:D

thank you very much!!!! I hope tomorrow this will not change font again. :D:D:D
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Wow! So it was one of these naughty apps :D

Maybe one is not in English and forces the computer to set its language...
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
so what do you think?

what app in the screenshot (start-up apps) is that?.

hehe thank you!! :D
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
I'm glad it solved your problem ^^

I really can't say which app did that, the best way would be to try one by one, but for you it would mean trying one app a day.

I don't think its from Intel, Java or Adobe products, as I have those on my computer too. You can check on each application's preferences if they offer non-English languages for their interface.
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
haha never mind that.

off topic

new thread or here as well?

I have another problem about deleting pdf files.. hehehe :fingers-crossed:

I want to delete pdf file but I can't, 'Files in use'

even its closed or pdf created it yesterday.

I try to look at the Task Manager but there's no acrobat open.
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Well, I personally don't mind if you post it here but I don't know about the moderators :D

Maybe your pdf is really being used by another program, like an antivirus, or maybe by explorer. I often get this kind of errors when I copy/paste files to flashdisks or external HDDs. So try to kill explorer.exe to see if it helps. If explorer doesn't restart by itself, on Task Manager, go to File, Run new task and type explorer.exe
[Windows 8 General] eChinz:
thanks for the quick reply.

I already did that but it doesn't work. T_T
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Can you give a try at this? http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-find-out-which-windows-process-using-file.htm
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Simply means that whatever software opened the file last did not close the file handle properly before exit (maybe it crashed during a write operation?). Remounting the filesystem fixes that, if its an internal hard disk then rebooting the machine is probably the easiest way. I have had limited success in the past with a python script that would open a file in wb mode and then close it again, that occasionally fixed the issue and sometimes did absolutely nothing or the script itself would fail to open the file, its a bit hit and miss :P Reboot *always* worked though. Many a time I have written code doing some file I/O and forgotten to close the file at the end...
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Yeah reboot always works for Windows, but it's annoying not to be able to control a file without an apparent reason. Windows should natively give more info about the process using it.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Actually that was part of my point, the file handle is open yet no process is using it so windows cannot give info about the process using it
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Ok ok I get it now. So even Process Explorer will be of no help in that case?
[Windows 8 General] cha91:
Funny enough, I just got the problem, and Windows couldn't find what program was locking my files.

I fired up Process Explorer, searched with Ctrl + F, typed "New folder" (the folder I wanted to delete) and Chrome was found locking it cause I had just finished sending some pics (the email was sent and I already closed the email tab). See the screenshot.

Anyway, after closing Chrome, I just pressed Try again on the copy window and it could delete the folder :D

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install the pacman paranoid 3.99 rom on my note 2 but whenever I install it, I get no signal or internet connectivity. I can turn on WiFi though. I already tried using the latest cwm, twrp and philz but none of them work.

My note 2 was unlocked back in 2012 when vraljb was out and I recently flashed the mj9 firmware to run alliancerom.

Anyone have any idea how to flash a 4.3 non tw ROM after upgrading to MJ9?

Do I have to Odin back to 4.1.2 (like vraljb) in order for it to work properly?

Or is my phone just acting up and people are able to go back and forth between nontw 4.3 ROMs, 4.3 tw ROMs and 4.4.2 non tw ROMs freely?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:

I can swap between AOSP 4.4.2 roms and TW 4.3 roms, but not AOSP 4.3 and the other two.

When I looked closely at the second depth sensing camera on the back of my phone, I noticed that the sensor is located slightly to the left of the vertical line below it. I also noticed that whenever I use the foreground effect, the outlines are always offset to the left in portrait mode and either up or down depending on which orientation landscape mode is in.
