[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Bautinho88:
I was on 4.1.2 ripper rom first. Then 4.3 alliance rom and after it I tried many 4.4.2 aosp Roms. Now I wanted to go back to 4.3 and I flashed alliance rom without data wipe and it works like a charm. Maybe it's better to wipe, but for me it worked without it. Important is that you don't have Knox on your Sammy.

Is anyone else kind of depressed by the lack of development on this device? We got S-Off within about 1 week of release, then after that two custom recoveries, one de-bloated and optimized stock ROM, and one kernel...and that's about it.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the work the Firewater guys put into getting us S-Off, Jcase getting us the initial temp-root, and Faux and iB4STiD putting out their respective releases, I really do. And with Xposed and the various modules, there's little I'm missing on this from my days on AOKP and other feature-rich ROM's. It's just weird that the AT&T version, for instance, already has almost 10 ROM's. Are the VZ M8 dev's missing something for our device that's preventing them from porting ROM's or creating new ones? Or is there just a lack of interest for the VZW M8? Or are other dev's working on releases and just keeping it quiet?

This is actually one of the quickest I have EVER seen a phone get modded besides Nexus devices... It's actually crazy! Trust me, we have some excellent devs in our Verizon forums and they will make this device better than you can imagine. Patience is a virtue

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

And donations do not make progress faster in most cases. Devs do this cause they love to do it and not for the money... They don't make crap by doing what they do. But donations are appreciated because they do have lives outside of their work on XDA
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] richii0207:
The phone JUST came out lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gtofan350:
I completely agree with shojus. I was fine with the idea of not getting s-off for a few months after release. We got s-off a week after the phone was released on VZW. That's absurd!! The verizon got S-off before the M8 was fully released! I couldn't be happier with the devs in this community and look forward to the goodies they bring for this device. Personally, I'm waiting for a GPE ROM as I'm sure many of us are. I know there's one in the works as we speak.

This is why devs avoid the general section.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xs11e:
I had a job in the adult film industry but it exposed my shortcomings. :crying:

I personally believe the rate of development and the rate of new ROMs appearing is pretty darn fast for a new phone, but that's just my opinion....

I already have the first ROM I want with any new phone and that's a stock ROM with some tweaks, some bloat removal and blocking of OTA updates, that's Skyfall (I will try Viper ROM and the Google Play edition ROM) later.

My daily driver will probably be CyanogenMod when that ROM is ready, meanwhile I can't understand why anyone would post as the OP did, development is fast enough for me, but that's just me I guess?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
This thread confueses me..

Lack of development?

We had root within weeks.

S-OFF came in record time.. In-fact so fast I am still waiting for my next paycheck to cash in on donation to firewater it came so fast.

Quality doesn't come with speed.

I know for a fact that a good amount of amazing developers are working on some great things.

As usual my BoneStock ROM will be making it's appearance very soon, I have my Badseed crew helping me out, mainly my dude Fernando. After that Badseed will be putting out a stock-like ROM of our own before we get our full Tranquility ROM released.

Good things come to those who wait.

We have it VERY good...

Its an awesome phone. I use to hate sense but since my last one the evo lte they have changed a lot. It's almost like HTC has been listening to its users and Samsung just laughs at us and just does whatever it wants to regardless of user feedback. Samsung is so cocky now it's annoying. I used to be 100% HTC then I went galaxy s2 s3 s4 and note 3 now I think HTC is what Samsung was a couple years ago.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Sorry for not trolling twitter feeds and the rest of the internet all day searching for any nuggets of information. However, I have a job and a life. I periodically come on here and Rootz looking for new information, ROM's, mod's, etc. And as I said in the OP, as of the time I posted it there had been one solid ROM, one solid kernel, and S-Off and the original temp root, and nothing else had been posted (again, on here or Rootz, not that Rootz even has a forum for the VZW M8 yet) indicating any sort of interest in this device on the part of the devs.

Sure it has S-Off now due to the hard work of the Firewater team, yet, again purely going off the activity I had seen on here prior to posting the OP, there was little to no indication of any interest on the part of ROM developers. Maybe I should have assumed there would be, however, you know what they say, "Don't assume because you'll look like an idiot".

Again, I wasn't looking for an ETA from any devs, or even a count of developers who were going to be working on VZW M8 ROM's, just a general sort of indication that there was in fact going to be more development happening than just what had shown up so far, so that I felt confident before my return period was up in the fact that I wouldn't be stuck with a phone for 2 years that only had a minimal dev community. I've had great luck from a ROM perspective with my first two android phones (the Droid X and the Galaxy Nexus, though with the GNex being a Nexus device a large development community was a foregone conclusion) and I wanted to keep that streak going.

And as for your comment that "I know for a fact that a good amount of amazing developers are working on some great things.", well, fantastic for you. However, I didn't. Hence this post. That being said, I should have worded the title and the rest of the OP less inflammatory, so what I was actually meaning to ask came across more clearly.

And as I've seen that there will in fact be more development happening on it, can a mod please close this thread so everyone will stop their complaining.

LOL. This is funny to me. I've had the M8 for two weeks now. Today I took the liberty of posting my first release of GPE for the VZW M8.

I do apologize tho if this was not quick enough for you. I popped over here to see if I could maybe find firmware, but instead I find non-creators whining about how depressed they are.

I apologize if this comes off as flaming...but you know what I did when I wasn't happy with the ROM offerings for my device? I sat down and figured out how to make my own ROM, and I've been doing so ever since. The community isn't some magical group of people who have secret android manuals lying about that we keep from the rest of the world. It's folks with a little knowhow who leverage the resources on this and other sites in order to bend the OS to do what we want of it.

Or, to summarize...if you don't like it, either do something about it or shut up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Done :)

These types of threads lead to insults and flaming they never end well.

Ok just noticed the following in fastboot screen:

HBOOT 3.16.0.0000

RADIO-INVALID_VER_INFO ?

OpenDSP-INVALID_VER_INFO ?

OS 1.54.401.5

The phone is working fine but something is not right? Did OTA 1.54.401.5 update with stock recovey couple days ago went ok so wonder if this update is the cause of this? Any idea guys?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfreek:
Ok I will answer my own question, after doing some research on this issue in various blogs and forums including xda, this is a common issue, some say when you apply the OTA 1.54.401.5 will bring this missing info on fastboot screen which is what happened in my case.

Anyhow nothing to worry about the phone is fine everything works, it's just for some reason the version info is not displayed. The only way to resolve this is to flash official HTC RUU 1.54.401.5 but that's currently not available.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhe12:
Hmm mine says the same except the line for OS reads:

Invalid_ver_info

My phone (HTC One Mini 2) displays INVALID_VER_INFO for RADIO and OpenDSP, too. But I found out that, when i boot into bootloader with no SD-card inserted, it says RADIO-1.101.1102.17.0506 and OpenDSP-v28.2.2.00546.0331. As soon as I boot into bootloader with SD-card inserted, INVALID_VER_INFO comes back.

I noticed this bug only after I had replaced the recovery with TWRP 2.7. So I can't tell exactly if this bug happened by updating OTA or by installing TWRP 2.7.

Besides that my phone is running perfectly, so there's no need to worry about it.

As I have simunlocked the device for GSM use, It does connects to the carrier but does not start mobile data services. Under selling when I try to click on tab to "ON" . Immediately it says "Disconnected because service is unavailable"

I've already tried going back to stock by renaming harman specified ruu as 0P6BIMG.zip and flshing it through sdcard, it does makes the device go stock but doesnt seem to fix the above mentioned problem.

I would like to point out, it was working fine before I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.1 and a custom rom. I noticed that mobile data was not working in that custom rom, so I decided to back stock and now I am stock but mobile data doesn't work along with above mentioned status.

Please help.

Thanks
[Security Discussion] shadowcore:
Could someone tell me why the hell the Android kernel or shell need to communicate with the internet? I have installed a firewall in my phone and I waas disturbed to find out that for some reason, android shell and kernel have access to internet.

FYI, I use the firewall to prevent suspicious applications from communicating with the internet, and keep them isolated.

Of course, I have denied access to the kernel and shell, and everything seems to be working fine.

I currently run android 4.2.2 cyanogenmod 10.3 on a LG optimus 4x.
[Security Discussion] jcase:
Kernel has internet access, well because you want your device to internet access. The kernel pretty much has access to everything (outside of things lower than it. Kernel is the heart of the OS.

Shell user itself doesn't automatically have internet access, however when using adb shell one of the permissions granted to it is the internet permission (see /etc/permissions/platform.xml or on newer devices Shell.apk/AndroidManifest.xml). This is needed for debugging purposes mainly.
[Security Discussion] LinoX:
Kernel's access to internet is used, for example, while playing youtube videos. Don't know why, though. If you block kernel access you won't be able to play videos.

I can suppose youtube has to use some kernel functions (maybe the ping?) to decide what's the fastest server to download data from.

I did a reverse lookup on blocked ip address and found:

PTR 173.194.70.95 fa-in-f95.1e100.net 24 hrsPTR 74.125.232.144 mil02s05-in-f16.1e100.net 24 hrs

1e100.net is registered to google. maybe they are the streaming servers.

UNI_TMUK_130114_130232_11003_WWE_BL101_Ship.exe file).

Problem is, no one on those forums has reported a successful install. Some mentionned the ROM and one person said it 'broke' their mda, but no one said "Yup, installed it, it works and updates your version numbers to x".

Would be nice to know your experiences using this new rom before trying it out :-D

Hi i attempted an upgrade of the MDA Pro rom and now all i have is a grey brick. It now only sits in the boot screen and doesn't load any thing else but it does show the rom version to be updated and the radio.

After trying all the possible solutions suggested here to fix it i have had no luck so i am sending it back to T-Mobile for them to look at it and hopefully replace it.

Giving it back today, i'l let you guys know what happens in a few days.

Well as i had last said i gave in my handset back to T-mobile and after two long weeks without my MDA Pro i called them up and was told that it was in store and ready to collect. The best part about it is that i have now a Brand new MDA Pro as the last one was unfixable and it also has the new rom and radio on it!

So it looks like everything is good!!
