Check to see if you fastboot unchecked in your settings. This helped one phone that kept failing.

Phone: T-Mobile HTC M8 rooted-superCID-s-Off

ROM: Latest Cyanogen

Recovery: Lates TWRP
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] epsix:
Have you try my ideas?

There's 2 way.

1 unplug your usb cable reboot your phone manually once it boot up,plugins your usb cable

2 plugins your usb cable adb reboot, once it boot up go into development options uncheck and recheck usb debugging.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] marcos600rr:

This is my second device and no luck with S-OFF.... I wasn't able to catch the Manufacture date on the first one but 4/9 is a no go! I might just give up and just take the 50 dollar loss...... should I try for a third time? The first one I did have the top right not being flush with the glass and also top speaker rattle..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] marcos600rr:
I think de should wait 4other method or an firewater update if its released

There must be something beyound the date maybe were they made

Atleast mine is made in taiwan maybe others are made un diferent places or something

I did last week.

Used the following:

Firewater

Hasoon All-in-one kit

(Sorry, I don't have enough activity yet to post links.)

Both the above allowed me access to flash the GPE RUU.

FYI, I initially had trouble getting firewater to work too. Hasoon kit worked like a charm.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Allen2418:
Hi there how did u end up getting the firewater to finally run
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] dave.michael:
Firewater requires you have root and internet access (WiFi, 3G, 4G etc.) in order to run because it uses some exploit (above my head) to give you S-off. I used the Hasoon all-in-one to flash TWRP recovery and rooted the OS after. Once in the OS, I connected my phone via USB and ran the commands as directed by firewater s-off for the normal, rooted device method.

Before using Hasoon to get root access, running the following command:

/data/local/tmp/firewater

Gave me some failure message. I don't recall what and I tried twice. But once I had root and ran it, it took I'd guess 4-6 minutes to indicate success and I had S-off.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think specifically using Hasoon is required. You just may need root access along with HTCdev unlock.

So to recap, trying this with ONLY HTCDEV unlock, it failed for me. Once I rooted and ran it, it worked without issue.

On the firewater site, instruction #4. Your device must be HTCDEV unlocked/rooted or have a working temproot. A temproot that works with many modern (not all) HTC devices is provided below.

It might have to be changed to "Your device must be HTCDEV unlocked AND rooted..."
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] PunishedSnake:
I only need s off for rootingor must I also unlock boot loader
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] SeanFloyd:
So excuse my ignorance but is this basically preventing development with the device?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
No, not at all.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] aimfire72:
No, you can still root, install custom recovery, custom roms and kernels. Usually all most people need.

Having s-off allows you to:

- Install RUU's from different countries and carriers

- Remove the red letters warning from the boot screen after installing custom recovery

- Carrier unlock your phone for free

That's all I've seen so far... S-off is nice to have, but not mandatory to mess around with your phone. :)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Garmig:
Huh, carrier unlock the phone?

Could you link me to the method?

I hope so. I'm debating taking my phone back for a replacement since the screen doesn't sit flush, but I'm not sure I want to risk getting one that's worse than this one...

So can someone explain what exactly the problem is? Is it a hardware issue or a software issue? I've heard it both ways. If it's a software issue, why can't we just flash a different rom and try it that way?

I S-OFF'd mine first try when I pulled it out of the box on the 21st.

All I did was HTCDev unlock and went right to S-OFF while on the stock software. I believe it was the 5th bottle that did it for me.

If you're not stock, its probably like other S-OFF exploits in that it may or may not work. Return it to stock and try again.

Is it a hardware issue (with some coax cable as stated in another thread/forum)? Or ROM issue (but not me, because I haven't touched the ROM yet, but still had the same random shutdown)? Or is it just an old battery issue (since it's more than 1/2 year old now).

I recently bought my M8 and I'm not sure if I want to unlock bootloader/root/S-OFF yet.

I've already downloaded the update and I can see the file in my download folder. I continue to get the notification asking me to install it. I don't want to install it yet, in case we don't get an exploit(?) for the update. But I also don't want to be asked constantly to install the update. How can I turn it off? Is it as simple as renaming the file?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgranberg11:
Ok, this is my first post so forgive if this is in the wrong section...

I have a friend's Galaxy Note 2 ATT that was stuck on the Galaxy Note 2 Boot screen, and it wouldn't go any further.

Because I work for Samsung at the Samsung Experience Shop, I tried running it through our smart reflash tool

-----> This didn't work because it would fully download it onto the phone, but when it got to the Android with the thing spinning in its chest, it would stop and ALWAYS freeze halfway.

Next step I tried doing was going through Samsung Kies and downloading the stock OS and load that, but the same Android with the spinning thing in its chest would show up and it would freeze.

Due to this guy being my friend I told him I would try anything to get his phone to work again (root, to custom recovery, to custom rom)

My steps so far:

1. I have successfully rooted my device via ODIN 1.85 by using CF-Auto-Root

2. Afterwards, I loaded on a custom recovery via ODIN 1.85 which now is philz_touch_6.07.9

Here is my problem now, I've tried searching everywhere and I can't really find the answer...

Whenever I try to side load a rom through ADB through Android tools (its in the right directory and everything because it transfers over), I keep getting an error message "E: Error in /tmp/update.zip (status 7) Installation Aborted."

Now before I get that error I get stuff like getprop("ro.product.device")==t0lte" ||getprop("ro.build.product").... etc. and it goes on and on.

So far the ROMs that I have tried were Cyanogenmod 10.1 and the Pacman Rom, and yes, both are for the correct device like the model name/number match up. And now how I said I thought I rooted the device, whenever I try to reboot into recovery via Philztouch, it says at the top Root Access is missing. Root device, and I click yes. When it reboots into recovery and I want to turn the phone off again, it still says Root Access is missing.

I am open for anything really. My friend just wants his phone to work again. and I've literally exhausted all of my ideas as I keep running into the same issue.

What am I doing wrong? and is something like this possible to fix? Or is my friend SOL?

Thanks for all the help. It's much appreciated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgranberg11:
Ok, thanks for the direct response. I've downloaded the latest TWRP recovery and when I try to push it through ODIN, I still have PhilZ Touch 6..? Sorry, I feel like I'm skipping something simple...

according to a guide, I have to make sure when I'm pushing a custom recovery through ODIN I have to leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time UNCHECKED. I made sure they were, and for some reason after it says PASS and thread successful 1 failed 0. When I disconnect the phone and turn it back on into recovery mode, I still has PhilZ Touch...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Use your recovery to flash TWRP. There's a zip version and an odin version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgranberg11:
Ok, I got stock recovery on there just by redoing the CF-Auto Root package through ODIN.

I figured well I can apply the ROM the adb through the stock recovery...

It was going well until I got this error. The last line before the error stated:

"Veryfying update package..."

Error:

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

is that due to the fact that i'm using stock recovery?

In the mean time since that didn't work I'm going to flash TWRP and hopefully that fixes the issue.

I'm kinda just documenting my steps here in case anyone wants to follow and chime in if i'm doing something wrong.

Thanks for the help guys!

************3AM EDIT*****************

Ok so I managed to get TWRP 2.7 on the device as I needed the ability to adb sideload the update.zip to the phone since I can't boot into the phone's OS whatsoever.

This is the error I'm receiving now:

Checking for MD5 file...

Skipping Md5 check: no MD5 file found.

then it restarts and I'm stuck at the Samsung GALAXY Note II screen... what's my next step..? Find a different ROM?

**********Another Edit**************

It has just come to me, I shouldn't have to adb sideload the update.zip or the custom rom... even though I can't get into the phones OS and can't copy and paste to the root of the device. Can't I just copy and paste it to a micro SD card and mount that, and then apply the update from there? And as far as those errors I had earlier, I'm still not sure why I received them...

Again, thanks for all the help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Adb won't work if USB debugging wasn't enabled.

In TWRP you can disable md5 checking.

And you don't unzip the zip file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pgranberg11:
Thanks for the reply. ADB didn't work because, in fact, since I haven't been able to turn the phone on, I know USB debugging isn't turned on.

And as far as having the MD5 check, it is unchecked.

I received a success message. However, when I try to boot the phone it still gets stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Note II screen.

******Edit******

Ok ended up using a different ROM, I think PacMan rom? It seemed to work until it got to extracting system files and then the phone sits for a couple minutes, screen turns black. And when I try to wake the screen, only the back and menu buttons come up...

Another thing, even though I've already rooted my device using CF-Auto-Root, When I reboot my device with TWRP I go to reboot and then recovery. Then it warns me saying no OS bla bla bla, and then it says it notices that my phone isn't rooted? And that SuperSU isn't on the device. It asks to install it by swiping. I swipe it starts to install, phone reboots. When I reboot it again, it still tells me that the phone isn't rooted. And with the phone not being rooted, I'm coming to the conclusion why I'm having trouble trying to flash Roms.. Is this a possibility?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fourpointsix:
Why are you using ADB? just drop the .zip for the ROM you wish to flash onto a micro SD card, and flash from within the TWRP. Don't try to extract the .zip whatsoever.

To describe the issue first.

There are many battery drain processes, applications. I saw that one of the biggest issues related to my ZTE Grand X In battery drain problems are mostly related to WiFi.

Explanation (all in sleep mode):

- When WiFi is off (and Airplane mode on) battery drain is 0-1 % during 1 hour;

- When WiFi is on (and Airplane mode on) and I am at the home Access Point environment, battery drain is 1-2 % during 1 hour;

- When WiFi is on (and Airplane mode on) and I am outside any Access Point environment, battery drain is 2-3 % during 1 hour;

- When WiFi is on (and Airplane mode on) and I am at an Access Point environment

where Android is getting connection but does not get IP address so it is repeating obtain IP address process

, battery drain is 4-5 % during 1 hour;

On ZTE Grand X In there is Android ICS 4.0.4.

I am emphasizing that I have Huawei Ascend Y300. It has Android JB, and it is almost not affected at all by mentioned WiFi issues, all the time, in any environment (I mentioned in this post) it has low battery drain.

As I saw there are some programs which are checking those WiFi different situations and then try to resolve issues. For Huawei, I simply do not need any program, everything is okay. For ZTE seems that there is no perfect program, I have to say there are nice programs, but still not perfect for resolving this issue.

What would be the best to do (on rooted Android smartphone) to change frequency (inside build.prop or any other file) of checking, obtaining IP address, to optimize that, not to have huge battery drain because of WiFi environment?

Thanks for any opinion, which may be helpful.
