[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
re-locking the bootloader is only required to flash ruu which is not an option for your phone (no ruu available for bell). Now you'll need to unlock the bootloader again to flash either TWRP recovery to resotre from a twrp backup or CWM to restore from a CWM backup.

I'll suggest you to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and ARHD 53 rom. Many users reported successfully sim-unlocked their phones using ARHD rom. If that don't work then you could try with the nandroid backups.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
unlock bootloader

flash TWRP 2.6.3.3

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

This is from [MENTION=4139782]crushalot[/MENTION] instructions on restoring a nandroid backup

For a phone that's not booting up this means pushing the files with adb push

so the command would look like this

adb push 2013-08-08--19-24-38.ATT.502.15 /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/

these files are over 1.2 gigs sometimes so it takes a long time, be patient

Also be sure the files your pushing are in the same folder as adb

Thanks for the replies ^

Okay, so I have now unlocked my bootloader successfully - however am now stuck in a cyanogenmod bootloop.

What's the best way out of this?I have CWM Recovery V6.0.3.1 I can boot into - is this where I try and install ARHD 53 rom? When I plug the phone into my computer, I can't see it as a drive to copy a rom into.

TIA

if you want to flash arhd 53 you will need at least twrp recovery version 2.6.3.3 as specified in the ARHD rom thread. Then use either adb push or adb sideload method to transfer the rom on your phone which are explained here
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slick2404:
The error I'm getting in CWM Recovery is:

E: can't mount /sdcard

E: can't mount /external _sd

How can I install TWRP Recovery? Sorry, I'm at a loss right now and feel so confused.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slick2404:
So I've installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 0 but I still can't manage to see the sd card on my computer, how can I push the nandroid backup to this phone? Is it still via fastboot commands?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
like I said in post #6 you need to either adb push or adb sideload if you want to install a rom. If you want to restore a backup then use adb push to transfer the backup to the phone.

instructions how to adb push or adb sideload linked in post #6
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slick2404:
Thanks for your help.

I was able to push the rom to the /sdcard folder via ADB Push

then from recovery, had to wipe/format all data. I think this created the directories for me

and then i was able to install CM11 again.

now im just trying to figure out how to install the nandroid backup since bell does not have a RUU, It says failed everytime i try in recovery and i have it in the same parent folder as my CM recovery i created.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
like cIsA said you have to push the twrp nandroid in this folder: /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/yourSerialno/

You have to make a backup first for this folder to be created. So make a twrp nandroid backup of the boot partition only (because its light). This will generate the backup path with your s/n + date. Then delete the file inside that folder and replaced it by the nandroid backup you want to restore.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] WillTheGreat:
Same issue here with Android OS and System contributing to battery drain.

I'm at 38% right now with 10 hours 44 mins on battery with wifi about 50% of the time

30% for OS and 16% for System; Pandora for 9% (1 hour of streaming through bluetooth on LTE)

OS shows CPU total at 3 hours 10 mins, while stay awak is at 5 hours 56 mins. System = 1 hour 42 mins CPU total. Both combine for less than 2mb used.

My screen time is 57 mins on auto brightness.

Been tinkering with the device for a few days to try to correct the problem. I like to leave my location on, but I definitely changed it to power saving mode. Also turned off location history on Google Now. Not sure if it's getting better, but definitely not getting that incredible battery life some of you guys are posting here.

I unchecked "allow always scanning" under advanced wifi settings and that seemed to help with Android system being so high.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] WillTheGreat:
Yeah, I looked at that one too. Oddly it was never on with mines. So far with location history off on Google Now Android OS has used significantly less (proportion-wise anyways) and my battery life has gotten better. Definitely something with Kit Kat's location settings that's causing battery drain. My S3 had pretty good battery life even with location history...or at least the proportion of usage was always lower compared to everything else.

Android System is using the largest proportion of battery life, so I'm still tinkering with that to see what I can do to reduce consumption.

But last night I was at about 61% after 10 hours on battery with the same kind of usage as mention on my previous post. Except no location tracking.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] putney1477:
Ok so I Have to ask......How did you get that dialer? and how did you get tht widget (I'm assuming its a widget) for WMUR?

Clearly I have to get more into this.....I'm too much of a flashaholic to have the same set up for too long. I need to slowly accept the fact that we may not get root, let alone an unlocked bootloader. So I should mod what I have :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
Asking is all it takes man. I'd be more then happy to explain my set up and the process with you (and everyone reading).

The news feed is called scrollable widgets and you're correct. It's WMUR.

What dialer are you talking about?

Without root obviously our options are limited, but I think I found a good combo to make my home screens and app drawer blend well.

Here are some good, must have apps:

Launchers:

What controls your home screens and app drawer.

(Few good ones)

- Nova : https://play.google.com/store/apps...+lau&pcampaignid=APPU_hPVeU63lC4KCyAG0g4G4DQ

- Apex : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher

- ADW : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adw.launcher

I personally use nova launcher because it's what's I'm used to. I've seen the others and they all function very well.

Icon Themes:

Changes the icons for launcher and widgets. There are tons out there and some will theme every icon by using a "mask". Think of it as a transparent later you can put on top of anything to make it look the color you want.

Go to the play store and search "the launcher you have" icon themes. Even though most good themes are compatible with many launchers.

A bit of advice. If the theme cost a few bucks and the screen shots look promising then you can bet it's worth it.

For giving us something better then stock they well deserve a beer or a grass fed ribeye. Lol

Backgrounds / wallpapers

I'm the type to find what I like on Google and save I to my phone then set it as my wallpaper.

But there are apps out there like HD wallpapers that have good selections.

If anyone has questions on how to set up things up or questions about launcher settings feel free to inbox me with any questions.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] putney1477:
Thanks so much, I've been using apex for quite some time. I have used apex, nova, and a few others shortly. I will look into the icon packs. I used to have a few on my s3.

Hmmmm I can still use titanium backup without root? no way! I've had that for years as well.

This is perfect. Thanks for all the insight!
