[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Doctordub:
I did the weaksauce/firewater S-Off method, which worked fine. I am now trying to install TWRP for root access, and the troubles have begun. I renamed the .img file to twrp.img for reference. After booting into fastboot, which is the stock HTC one, I run

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

from my platform tools. The command prompt does its thing, and says the flashing is complete. But when I reboot into fastboot, I get the HTC one again, no TWRP. Nor do I have root access. I've tried

fastboot clear cache

before flashing, but I get no luck their either. This is going to drive me insane, please help!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] adavit:
From fastboot are you selecting to boot into recovery? Recovery is a separate thing from the bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Doctordub:
There isn't an option to, just HBOOT, FASTBOOT, REBOOT FASTBOOT and REBOOT
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] adavit:
When you are on the option for hboot hit the power button for select. In the next screen you will get a list of different options. The second one I believe is recovery. If TWRP is installed it should take you there, otherwise it will prolly go to the stock recovery. Other than that information I'm not sure what to tell you. :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Doctordub:
I tried selecting RECOVERY from the HBOOT menu, but it quickly flashes an error message about "zip file not found" and kicks me back to the stock fastboot screen.
[One (M7) General] eradicator006:
When I first got my phone last July I dumped all of the partitions before doing the GPE conversion. I did this incase I ever had to return to stock for warranty purposes. I have since created an RUU flashable zip of those partitions. The partitions that I dumped were the exact same partitions that the GPE RUU overwrote.

If anybody is interested I can upload this tonight to dropbox or google drive. It'll take me a bit as its 1GB in size.

You do have to be s-offed to use this. I tested it a few days ago and it works perfectly. It's version 1.29.666.6.

LINK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f81rtts2iex2yym/RUU-BM___001-1.29.666.5.zip

How to flash (yes you have to do the fastboot flash zip TWICE):

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU-BM___001-1.29.666.5.zip
fastboot flash zip RUU-BM___001-1.29.666.5.zip
fastboot reboot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhiggins:
I have recently changed my MID and CID of my HTC One to enable me to flash a GPE RUU. Everything is currently going fine, however I am unable to unlock the stock Google bootloader, meaning I am unable to root and flash a custom recovery. I have tried fastboot oem unlock, and have also tried flashing an unlock token from HTCDev, all with unsuccessful results. Could anyone suggest what to do next as I would like to flash some mods to add to the HTC to make it better.

Thank you.

I have just come across this thread... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358781

Would I not be able to reflash the pre-rooted GPE RUU in that thread or would it need to be rooted in the first place?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
Do you have root in your current rom? If so grab Flashify from play store and use it to flash twrp recovery img.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhiggins:
I have no root privileges at all. I have tried downloading SuperSU and Superuser from the Play Store and neither have been able to install binaries. I have s-off, so what other methods could I use?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
Ah, then we'll play a little trick. Since you're s-off you can flash unsigned firmware, so here's a firmware.zip that contains only TWRP recovery.

firmware_twrp.zip

Download the file (hit Ctrl-S to download the zip after clicking the link) and flash it via fastboot:

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware_twrp.zip
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

After reboot select Bootloader, then select Recovery and you'll boot into TWRP. From there you can flash SuperSU.zip to gain root or mods, etc.

[One (M8) Accessories] xCeejayy:
Hey guys, I installed the Zagg Glass on my M8 and so far so good.

Installation was easy but I did notice that Zagg's "Micro fiber Lint cloth" does more harm than good, then again I noticed the same thing with their Plastic screen protector. I'd recommend not using it unless you boil it down/rinse it to death.

It'll leave it's own lint on your screen.

Other than that I have no complains.

The Glass itself is smoother than the glass on the phone and it resists smudges quite well.

I live in San Diego so when people use my phone their hands aren't the driest since it's been 90+ lately. Yet when they were done there were no smudges. The edges are rounded like The Glas.Tr from Spigen and I have absolutely no bubbles at all.

I had the BodyGuardz ScreenGuardz Pure before this and I can definitely say it was an upgrade.
[One (M8) Accessories] TheEmpyre:
I will corroborate your review. Pretty good quality, the feel is excellent and even more so oleophobic than the stock screen in my opinion. I can't even tell it's on there, and the screen isn't compromised at all. Worth the $40.

The lint cloth caused me no trouble although it didn't really help either.

The only gripe I have is that when I was "smoothing out" the bubbles, it says to press down hard, and I used the lint cloth along with some force from my thumb nail, and if you tilt it in the right light you can see exactly where I pressed down with my thumb nail in several spots...just small depressions in the shape of a nail tip. Didn't think an "industrial strength" glass/plastic would be easily indented by a thumb nail. In any case, its a small neurotic thing that doesn't bother me much, just something I noticed. Overall pleased.

4/5 Stars :D
[One (M8) Accessories] zack2491:
I'll be the third to say I bought one of these and I love it. Can't beat a lifetime warranty either.
[One (M8) Accessories] faded03cobra:
Probably my second favorite outta all the ones I've had. Tried almost every glass protector. Mime feather is still my favorite, but this is close.
[One (M8) Accessories] TwiSStD:
Well... I really wanted to stay away from zag due to past experiences with their products. Being that my brand new spigen light armor hadn't arrived, I went to the local best buy to find a cheap screen protector until I could get more money for the glastr shield. Cheapest one there was a invisishield for 25 bucks, damn.... Then for only 5 bucks more was the glass zag shield, plus the life time warranty.

I had no choice. I would for sure get my screen scratched up while working.

So anyway, to my suprise, I couldn't be any happier with this screen protector. No dust, no bubbles, no edges peeling, no fitment issues, no headaches. This glass protector Sh*** on wet installs, and plastic shields. Also, it fits very nice with the spigen light armor. Also it really does resist fingerprints and smudges. 10/10
[One (M8) Accessories] Psych0t1c20:
You guys got a link to this amazing sounding product?
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Best Buy link

Does anyone have details regarding the "lifetime warranty" disclaimers? Curious about what is covered and how many replacements, etc.
[One (M8) Accessories] racedog:
I have the Bodyguardz glass protector that I bought at the AT&T store. It works fine and I like it but it is thick. They didn't have any dot view cases in stock and I ordered one while I was there. I also asked if the case would work with the protector (because of the added thickness of the glass) and they said it "probably" would. Well, yesterday the case arrived in the mail and it won't close because of the Bodyguardz protector.

Can anyone in here tell me if the dot view case will work with the Zagg glass protector?
[One (M8) Accessories] TNS201:
wow $40? I also hate best buy so will not shop there ever.

What about the glass screen protectors on ebay for $5-15, sounds more reasonable.
[One (M8) Accessories] MattH41:
I used to avoid screen shields like the plague because of finger smudges, difficult installs, and bubbles/defects. But I'm in love with the glass shield. I'll corroborate all the above and say it's a simple install and resists fingerprints much better than the regular screen.
[One (M8) Accessories] TriBeard:
The nice thing is you get a lifetime warranty. If you choke it down and buy it from best buy, I think they charge 7.99 or something to install it, but if you ever mess it up or it peels or they don't install it right you can take it back and they redo it. Otherwise, you just email zagg and they send you a new one in a couple days.
[One (M8) Accessories] hawaiianboi:
If you go through Zagg, you have to pay for the shipping, but thats only like $5 so it aint bad.
[One (M8) Accessories] Legobricke:
Well.... That lifetime thing would be great.... But for the glass replacement, zagg will charge you 15 bucks and another 5 bucks for shipping...

It would of been nice if they would of changed the print on the packaging.

Lego
[One (M8) Accessories] TriBeard:
True, but one time and it's only 3 bucks more for Best Buy to do it, and as soon as you have it done twice, you would have been better off with them. Not to mention you can just pop in whenever you're around a store and have it fixed.
[One (M8) Accessories] hawaiianboi:
They don't charge another $15, just the $5 for shipping.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tower1972:
On my second Glass...First I bought the HD shield, and they have what I believe to be, a defect in design on the HD. Not only does it cover the screen, but on all 4 corners, it goes up the sides of the speaker grills. If your screen is not perfectly flush with the metal speaker plates guess what...you will have air pockets that you cant get rid of. After going back and forth, they sent me a replacement, and it was the SAME thing..UGH..

So I went out and bought a Glass..since it only protected the screen. Had issues with the first one, as none of the corners would stick! Put in for another replacement, which came today, and it went on smooth as silk and all the corners are bubble free...

When you do the replacement, you also need to send back your old one. They provide you an envelope to do so. They will also ask for your credit card number. If you do not return your old one, they will charge you the full price for the replacement they shipped out!
[One (M8) Accessories] Brainze:
$6 on EBAY for these, shipped...

No... . . . Not ZAGG, specifically, but extremely high quality and the same damn glass.
[One (M8) Accessories] erieboyz:
Just got the Zagg glass shield installed today and I have to say this is the best I've ever tried. Glass from now on!

Are there alternatives from ZAGG Glass? I wanted to purchase it on Amazon because I have a gift card, but they don't sell it. Any recommendations?

There's BodyGuardz, I have an extra of those the edges aren't rounded, there's a Spigen Glas.Tr but it's an extra 5$ at 39.99.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingithy:
Hi guys,

I've had my S5 for a few days now, but I've found that it's now essentially bricked.

I rooted my G900I (Asia) using CF-Root for G900F with no issues at all. Everything worked fine, as

had been reported by several other users. I then flashed AllianceROM V1 and everything was fine.

Just yesterday, I flashed the Custom Settings patch and one of the updates, and it seemed to be ok.

Suddenly, the battery started to die fairly quickly. I didn't worry about this at the time, as it'sa new phone,

I have only performed one full battery cycle, it's probably just calibrating etc etc.

I got home and plugged it in to charge, it had gone from 40% to 13% in a few hours. I had force-stopped NFC

(which I noticed the NFC on/off tab was greyed out in the on position, still a grey toggle button though).

At around 20% i flashed OmegaROM 1.3 to see if it was the ROM causing the issue, but nothign changed.

I noticed even while plugged in I was losing battery. I switched it to Ultra Power Save mode, and the battery

stayed at a steady 9% (seemed like it was charging, but the battery was draining so fast it was just staying at 9%).

The battery estimate was 1.1 days. Within 5 hours it was dead.

I plugged it in, and saw the charging animation (just a frozen empty battery though) and after about half an hour, the

image disappeared. I tried to turn it on, but it did nothing.

I took out the battery for 30seconds/1minute, but it didn't make a difference. Charged it all night, it still won't turn on.

Has anyone heard of or experienced this before?

I'm going to try and take it back to the Samsung store to see what they say...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Thats what happens when you flash custom FW. no guarantees... good luck with warranty!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingithy:
I went to the samsing store and the lady swapped the battery with a demo model battery and it works just fine!

She also said that the warranty is void as I've installed a custom ROM. I just played dumb haha.

Battery doesnt seem to be draining anymore, so must have been a dud battery.

Phewwww, time to let the relief sink in.

EDIT: One thing worth noting is that the old battery was actually charging when the Samsung lady tried in another device. Not sure why, hopefully its not my phone that's draining the battery.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingithy:
Ugh, so it seems like my phone is just a faulty one.

It keeps draining the battery, even while plugged in, and after the battery has been swapped out for another.

I'll be sending this one back to the carrier to see if they can replace it for me. I've restored it back to stock, and I'll be removing the custom recovery. Hopefully they'll ignore/won't notice the tripped Knox.

Ha. Good luck to me...

Optus has approved my claim for a new phone!

The Optus staff member classed it as "ELF" which is Early Life Failure, so it was seen as a faulty unit, I guess.

This was decided as it was charging issue and was within 30 days of receiving the handset.

I'm just waiting on a new phone to be delivered to the store so I can pick it up!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njan_ivide:
Congrats m8... did the staff check to see if the knox was tripped?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingithy:
Thanks!

I'm not too sure at all... I haven't been told any of the details regarding how and what they checked.

The Optus staff member told me that they would just do a brief check at the assessment center.

They also didn't send it back to Samsung, they just sent it back to Optus' warehouse (though I tracked it to

TOLL Customised Solutions in Victoria).

Though I did reset everything: flashed stock ROM (though it had no Optus CSC), allowed stock recovery

to re-flash, changed all settings back to stock. The stock ROM made the ROM Status go back to "Official", as well.

So unless they checked the recovery and the KNOX counter there (I'm not sure of any other way to see it),

then they wouldn't have seen it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anchorman42:
I am trying to return my Kindle Fire HD7 to factory stock with OTA working. I have it running on 7.4.6 and I'm pretty sure I could copy the 7.4.8 update the the SD card root and click the "Update Your Kindle" button to get to 7.4.8 but I like to make sure that future OTA updates will work, so I purposely update only to 7.4.6 and then let OTA take it up to the current version. On this Kindle, something must be wrong because it will not "Sync" update to 7.4.8.

First, I ran KFHD_SRT_v1.3.5 and flashed the system to 7.3.0 (rooted)

Next, I ran Restore-Factory Recovery

Next, I ran Erase cache and user data

Next, I rebooted

at that point it was working on 7.3.0

Then, I copied the 7.4.6 update to the root of the SD card and hit the "Update Your Kindle" button

The Kindle is now indicating version 7.4.6 and running normally

Now after fully charging the battery, I tap on "Sync" (which starts the curved arrows spinning) and let the thing go to sleep. This usually results fairly quickly in an update to 7.4.8 but on this Kindle every time I check (several days now) it is still sitting on 7.4.6. I have also tried Factory Reset a few times but it did not help.

I would have thought that after running the factory 7.4.6 update there should not be anything different that would prevent the OTA update from working. Am I missing something? Has anyone else had this problem? I have spent quite a bit of time searching the forum and have not found a similar problem.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaumerS4:
So this has happened to my now twice when trying to revert back to stock...

Starting with a bone stock N5, I unlock the bootloader (I guess technically it was already unlocked the second time I had this problem), then push TWRP over via fastboot. At this point, I do a Nandroid of "stock" and save it. Then I flash PACman ROM and run with that for a bit, one time with the Elemental kernel, the other time with whatever kernel PAC comes with.

So in an attempt to go back to stock due to some LTE issues with PAC, I boot into TWRP, select restore, then choose my original "stock" nandroid. It restores fine as well as I can tell with TWRP, but when I go to boot it just gets stuck on the Google color splash screen (the dots coming together).

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here. I don't have any problem loading any of my PAC nandroids at this point to get back up and running, but I'd rather not have to go to my computer every time to push a factory image.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Make sure you have a good, known working nandroid....then try wiping first. System, data and the caches. NOT internal SD obviously. Then restore. If you have issues still, restore your known good nandroid.

Do I need to be on a certain runtime?
