It's hard to prove a negative...but I read this board daily. I read every topic regarding trade in adns warrenties.

I have never seen anyone talk about being denied a trade in on XDA due to KNOX.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vik_vk:
they don't check

The clerk handling returns/exchange is instructed to check just 2 points:

The phone powers up

The IMEI/ESN is the same as what you claim, they check behind the battery, they don't even check to confirm the software IMEI matches the sticker,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] andymetoo28:
As far as I can tell it's a "no" for now. Anyone aware is this is going to persist or are we still on a "not right now but but they could start checking for KNOX any day now" status?

I have a GS4 and I don't think I'll upgrade until winter at the earliest... But I REALLY REALLY want to root my phone.

I'm trying to install the TomTom 5.0 and after the 5.21 update on Jamin but I can't do it!

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ajodogne:
Yes, it works. I installed the same version (5.21) as i did with the S100, on my JAMIN. Works perfectly.

Have you a legal version of navigator?

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Markino:

Do you have the full installation of 5.21 or the installation of 5.1 and the upgrade to 5.21?

Unfortunately, there is no way back. It used to be you just hsd to flash the 4.1.1 modem, but I am not certain thatd work anymore. Up to you if you want to try, but I make no guarantees. You can buy unlock codes on eBay and elsewhere for a few bucks though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SoGee:
Regardless of whether or not the bootloader is unlocked or not?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The bootloader isn't locked. You just are prevented from flashing back to older firmware.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] combatmedic870:
Yes i do. it gets pushed in the second command, then i type adb shell and then SU at the $ and then chmod....., and then /data/local/tmp/firewater and nothing happens

How did you get it to work?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] combatmedic870:
Well i get to the yes or no prompt and then the device disconnects. this is beyond ridiculous!!!

ADB will not stay connected
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jsminnis:
After I do adb reboot then the second command, it seems like my phone disconnects then reconnects to mtp. I think that is where my problem is. If I could only get my phone to not connect the second time I think it would work.

Maybe try a case sensitive Yes ... mine didnt work the first time then i reboot my pc tried again and still did not work till i typed in Yes. I am now s-off..

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] essdiddy:
Rinse wash repeat. Start over from the beginning and take your time. Mine went offline after the push and I had you plug unplug it to get adb to recognize it again. Run a device command before your shell and make sure it is still on line.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Nino031382:
I have read over and over about if firewater says your device is not compatible then it will not work at this time but I have seen others get s-off with the t mobile version. What exactly is the trick? Those of you that got s-off did you receive the not compatible message? I am also on linux mint 16 and I am not new by any means to this stuff. It is driving me nuts though.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] BACARDILIMON:
works fine on tmobile. never got device not compatible. some worked fine first try some took 6 times it does work. make sure ur adb working good and solid. update jdk if you have to. also sdk. keep them current.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Nino031382:
This is what I am getting
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] BACARDILIMON:
this is on what type of computer. you are on tmobile with bootloader unlocked right.

hmmm i not familiar with linux. i am sure someone else is.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
Just like the command window says your device is not compatible. It's unfortunate but there's nothing you can do. The compatibility has nothing to do with carrier, region, software, or anything else this is been stated many times in the developer thread. It comes down to the luck of the draw and you unfortunately were unlucky. Nobody really knows what the compatibility issue is except for the fire water developers and they have asked for speculation to remain out of the thread for specific reasons.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Nino031382:
Hmmm might have to find a reason to return it for another lol
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
Good luck returning it with an unlocked and tampered bootloader
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] combatmedic870:
Yep thats where i am stuck at.....My phone keeps over heating while video chatting and im dev unlocked. Im scared to take it in.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Nino031382:
Already took it back. Working on the new one. I have taken previous devices back in the past in the same condition. relocked. Never heard anything else after I took it back so I'm not worried
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
You better hope they don't add it onto your bill when they test it at the factory and see that it's tampered flag is tripped. It can happen.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Nino031382:
Yup it is in fact device specific. Got S-off after the 5th chug and I haz supercid as well. That's crazy lol.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
Did you flash the stock recovery before returning? Just curious.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Nino031382:
sure did and relocked. Fingers crossed haha
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
Cool cool, I you'll probably be fine. The risk of it coming back to you is there but I would say its small. I guess it's a good thing that your replacement was compatible, that would have sucked to have another uncompatible one lol.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Nino031382:
I was thinking the same thing lol
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Droid_ALM2ND:
I notice the "cid" is not on your model in the bootloader. Mine isn't there either but when my friend with a T-Mobile variant sent me a pic of his bootloader with S-OFF he has is T-Mobile cid line "cid: T-MOB010". I have another friend with a T-Mobile variant he converted too GPe and he's S-OFF with his cid line.

I'm no dev but does anyone know if that has anything to do with us that cant get S-OFF? I'm temped to relock and take mine back with the **Tampered** **Relocked** flag and just take my chances.

My cid is there: C:\androidsdk\platform-tools>fastboot getvar cid

< waiting for device >

cid: T-MOB010

finished. total time: 0.000s

Just not showing in the bootloader
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Nino031382:
It won't show CID until S-off. Has nothing to do with it not being compatible.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] ieatacid:
What reason did you give them for returning it? Mine is incompatible too and I'd like to exchange it for another.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jsminnis:
I hope that everyone returning their phones to get soff doesn't result in something bad in the future. Surely HTC us wondering what is wrong with so many T-Mobile phones, especially when all the bad ones are"relocked". I'm just gonna wait for an update, if it never comes so be it. I am able to do everything I need at the moment with root and unlocked boot loader. Plus I can jump in 6 months anyway, ?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] aimfire72:
I'm not sure if it's so much a luck of the draw with certain phones, but rather simply the method that Firewater uses is not that good... I don't mean any disrespect, but it should work on all phones regardless. But we're still in the early days here and if the FW team can't figure it out, I'm sure someone else will eventually.

S-off is nice to have, but especially at this point without any RUU's, etc it's not a necessity.

There is a Bounty thread on the M8 general forum for fixing the S-OFF.

In the store I work I've seen it on all Galaxy S4 and note 3 devices... it's especially easy to see on a grey color..

on the S5 its a bit easier to se because of the color they choose for the background color in settings menu, you can actually see that on all the S5 devices I've handled including my ovn. the settings background is darker in the top and brighter at the bottom.. they all had a bit of variation..

Hey guys so I just got a new M8 through ATT. I was wondering since they shipped the phone to me can I just activate the new sim card and put it in the phone no problems? Or do I need to Activate the phone as well. I purchased and had it shipped from ATT. Just wondering since I never had to activate my nexus 4 and don't remember for my LG G2.

Thanks for the help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinterApocalypse:
As long as the sim you have is compatible with the carrier you ordered from, and your sim is currently working, you won't have any problem just putting it into a new phone.

That being said, it needs to be the right size simcard. The One M8 using a NanoSim. If your current sim is not a nanosim you'll need to go into the store and have them transfer your account information onto a new sim (this is usually done for free).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magestic1995:
Thanks the phone came with a new sim card!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinterApocalypse:
Depending on how your provider works, booting up the M8 with the new sim should deactivate your old sim if they're tied to the same number. If that's not the case, you'll likely have to transfer your account to the new sim over the phone or in store.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magestic1995:
Yeah I knew that. Just had to make sure there wasnt some sort of activating the phone as for some reason.

The NavBar Menu overflow button should only appear when the application you're in doesn't have a native way of accessing the menu. It won't be visible except under those conditions.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdnchris:
I had an interesting issue I thought I'd share with folks in case they run into it. I have an N900W8 on the Rogers network. I used CF Auto-root to root, installed Philz recovery through Odin (3.07). I backed up the stock OS using Philz, then installed CM11 M5. I played for a couple of days, and then decided I wanted to head back to stock. I'm probably going to sell the phone soon so I wanted to make sure everything was clean. I restored the stock ROM, and when Philz warned that the stock ROM would likely overwrite recovery, I let it. I booted into my previous stock ROM and all was good. I checked software update and it said "your system has been modified". Shoot. I boot back out into download mode and see System and Firmware are set to Custom. All stock 0s everywhere else though, Knox hadn't been tripped. I was about to flash a stock firmware through Odin and I thought.. I wonder if I could use Kies? Sure enough, I fired up Kies 3 and did a Firmware Upgrade and Installation and 10 minutes later I had a stock phone. System and Firmware back to Official Samsung! All I did was boot the phone up in my restored stock ROM, plugged it in, ran Kies 3 and said "Firmware Upgrade and Installation" done.

Hope that might be helpful to someone!

actually, UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE is for HTC Universal device, or sth like Qtek 4040, not 9100.

i don't know where you get this RUU, but when you browse the xda-developers FTP site, u should find it under Universal category.

so...

and, when you reach a frozen screen as what u described, simply get into the "3-color" status and run an offical RUU for Qtek9100 only.
