*keeping the question in the right thread*

thanks for answering...which would you recommend/have any opinions on using to return to stock?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
What exactly is the issue you're having?

Sent from my HTC device
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
Both my wife and I have the M8, I rooted it from day 1 and has worked flawlessly. Her phone after 2-3 weeks started having network issues, so I thought it was the rooting and installing of Viper Rom that made the difference. Even have the phones next to each other at random locations in city, I would have no problems where she did. So I rooted her phone and installed the rom but the problems still exist. Did the update PRL and profile, new SIM card, reinstalled rom, without any success. So now after many hours of research, I'm suspecting a defective antenna/phone so need to return her phone back to stock to do a phone exchange.

Now it seems like my options are to do a stock nandroid flash or RUU flash and then follow steps to remove tampered banner, lock bootloader, turn S-ON, and unroot...at least that's what my research has shown since there hasn't been a main thread/video that shows how to return to factory stock.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Gotcha. Sounds like you may have a hardware issue and it's not likely related to the phone being rooted. I'd take it to the Sprint store as-is and let them take a look at it. You can flash a ROM like Captain Throwbacks's stock rooted ROM (I believe it's over on theMikMik site) and delete or hide the SU app. Unless they check the bootloader they shouldn't be able to tell, and even then, they likely won't care.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
I don't have insurance on the phone so was gonna go through HTC. I've already contacted them and they approved the return via 2 options, either repair or exchange for refurbished. My only fear with them is that they'll find out it's been rooted. I feel if I do the steps correctly using the RUU file then it'll return back to stock, but the main fear is that they will look up the serial # when I went on htcdev site to root
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I've returned a phone to HTC before. I doubt they'll do any type of lookup like that unless they have a reason to suspect that a custom ROM caused your issue. But returning the device to fully stock condition (mostly) prevents them from being able to prove your device was ever unlocked.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
Thanks for the helpful comment, you're the first one in my many hours of forum surfing to have mentioned a return to HTC with positive results...feeling positive now in my situation, assuming I don't mess up the unrooting process :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] suicidal acorn:
Wait, I thought we didn't have an ruu for the regular M8? I know there is a HK RUU. Did we get one for the regular M8?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
When was your return done?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
I honestly don't remember. Last year, year before, maybe? Why?

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

Not that I know of. But you don't need one if you're S-OFF. Just restore a stock 1.12 nandroid, install stock recovery and then take the OTA. That'll normalize all the firmware/software on the device.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
The HK RUU is said to be able to be used on the non-HK edition, just have to change the CID #

Was wondering how long ago was your successful exchange and wondering what my chances are...still debating on HTC or Sprint for exchange as this month Sprint has open enrollment for their insurance.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] suicidal acorn:
I know it will work, but it has the HK software, so it's gonna look a little weird to a sprint or HTC employee that a regular M8 has HK software...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
Hmmmm that's a good point....:banghead:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
running into a problem with returning to stock...need some help....

so I've flashed stock nandroid and returned the ROM part to stock at least but now my problem is removing the TAMPERED Banner and locking of the bootloader because those steps require to have S-OFF while my phone is S-ON. I followed the steps to S-OFF but unfortunately my phone is one of the few that are unable to accept the firewater as I've read through the forums that it's a HTC patch that stopped it from working and the firewater devs never got around to updating the firewater file

does anybody know a work around or to getting S-OFF or getting around S-ON to get to the Banner and bootloader or am I stuck as is??
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Your stuck if you can't get S-off.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
You might be able to re-lock your bootloader and flash the full signed firmware.

I've never tried so not sure if it will get you back to ***LOCKED*** rather then ***RELOCKED***

***TAMPERED*** should be gone also after flashing the firmware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
It'll say "RELOCKED". You can't change that flag unless you're S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
and where do I go to get said firmware?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Post 40 of this thread
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
So I just flash in TWRP?

What results should I expect after flashing?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Captain_Throwback:
Firmware zips are flashed through the bootloader, not recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] psyman42:
Are these the steps to flash in bootloader?

Download Hex edited hboot file

copy to root of your external sdcard and rename to 0P6BIMG.zip

turn phone off

press and hold volume button down and power button for 3 seconds

press volume button up to update hboot

press power to reboot

Would flashing via fastboot be an option as well???
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jayjam99:
I think i have everything back to stock with the exception of the CID shown in the bootloader.

I ran the HK RUU and had to go to super CID.

What was the original CID?

And would i just run the same ADB command that i did to change the CID to get it back?

Disregard.

Found my answer.

For anyone interested the command to go back to sprint CID is "fastboot oem writecid SPCS_001"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] beachbacon:
On my I337 (rooted with SAFESTRAP 3.71), my STOCK ROM DATA partition is 9970MB with CACHE PARTITION AT 2046MB. I'm not sure how these were set (loaded a base 4.3 with ODIN), but when trying to load HYPERDRIVE in ROM-SLOT, TWRP shows only 12MB free! Nothing is on my device (like music, big files, etc), because I use the 32G external memory. My question is this (based on all I read), is it possible the STOCK ROM size might be reduced if I do a FACTORY/DATA/CACHE RESET and reinstall my backup from TWRP? Not sure what is consuming space and if you can't repartition it without losing the root...I'm not sure which way to proceed being I got this far. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

PS: the storage indication from within system shows: system 6.26G, used space 1.18G, cache 66MB, misc file 353MB, avail space 8.15G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
The stock slot will never be reduced as it's the basic internal storage. Safestrap doesn't partition the internal storage, it makes image files where it holds all the slots on the internal storage. The 12mb thing is a glitch and i don't remember how to fix it if possible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] beachbacon:
No space for adding custom ROM (S4, i337)

Well, you guys would know. If there is a lead or something you can think of regarding the "glitch"...it would be greatly appreciated. Just asking, is it possible the STOCK ROM size/usage might be reduced if I do a FACTORY/DATA/CACHE RESET and reinstall my backup from TWRP? If so, which ones (ie. just Cache, Data, or Dalvik) so that I stay rooted and can restore my backup? Thanks in advanced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
The size of the stock slot doesn't change, and shouldn't. Even if you restore a ROM slot to the stock slot, it will use the full space of the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] beachbacon:
Only 12mb free for rom-slot1

So perhaps I'm not asking the right question??? What would limit the ability to create/activate ROM SLOT1, if what you say (the STOCK SLOT) has no effect on the space available? Could it be a ghost remnant from MF3? Seems the question has been asked with no resolution?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xb:
How do you repartition the memory back to the original size after you have resized it with repart_DOC? Or to put it simply, how do you undo a repartitioned memory after using repart_DOC?

You have to down grade to WM2003 and re-run the tool. Its a pain in the ass I know, I had to do the same thing!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] imatrix:
try

1. Download mtty v1.42 from http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/mtty1.42.rar

2. Stop ActiveSync, by Task Manager (press Ctrl + Alt + Delete)

kill two processes rapimgr.exe and wcescomm.exe

3. put your device into Bootloader Mode by pressing Power + Record Button and Soft Reset.

4. Run mtty (from downloaded) Choose WCEUSBSH001

5. type "set 14 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.

6. type "task 28" to get your device formatted

7. type "task 0" to ask your device reboot

8. take the device out of the cradle, and manually reset it if it does not do that already.

good luck.

just use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe tool to upgrade it, should be fine. and if u have a sd card, take it out too, just in case.

[Omni Q&A] tobias.s:
Hi there,

I am searching for hours for a solution to my Problem and could not find the trick. Hopefully someone can help me here...

I am trying to get root on my Car Navi which uses Omnirom (4.4.2) issued by its manufacturer. I've read that one simply should flash supersu.zip in recovery mode. The problem is that there is no documentation on how to enter the recovery mode on the device. When flashing new firmware/android, one simply insert a sd card with the new firmware and the flashing process starts automatically on reboot.

Is there another way to get root access for Omnirom kitkat? I've tried Framaroot without luck.

Thanks for any help.

Greets.
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Um, Omni does not currently ship preinstalled on any device, and as a result, it's impossible to be running Omni without access to a custom recovery, since you need a custom recovery to install Omni in the first place.

Whatever your navigation system is running, it is NOT Omni, and as a result, this is not the correct place to be posting about issues with your device.
[Omni Q&A] tobias.s:
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I just went to omnirom.org and there was a link to this forum.

This is a little bit weird: Omni was not preinstalled but the update(Omni) came directly from the manurfacturer (sntron.com).

In my case no recovery mode is accessible. As I've written in the 1st post, I copied the update on a sd-card and booted from it so that the updated installs automatically.

Attached is a picture of what is installed.

Thanks for any info.

This is weird. That would make this device an unofficial kang that not a single member of the Omni team was aware of until now...

For all the effort we spent on keeping KNOX at 0x0, it appears pointless.

I took my phone over to a Samsung Repair center, and even though my KNOX was at 0x0, it was still deemed Out - Of - Warranty because the Status was custom.

Of course you might be able to use Triangle Away or Wanam to Zero it, but then the techs will see those, and Void your warranty anyways.

Cliff Notes [Updated: May 14]

Changes to Multi View

New Notification Panel

Updated Pen Window that Support all Multi View Apps

You can add tons more apps out of the box. Apps available are now common to both multiview and Pen Window. You can now directly open Pen Window apps without using Air Command or having to draw on the screen. You just open the multiview panel from the right and tap an app (vs. dragging it). A box comes up allowing you to open it in traditional multiview mode or floating like Cascade view worked on the OG Note 10.1. Pretty cool.

Tapping the box with the "+" sign shown below opens an app in a floating window, the box below it opens it as a standard multiview window.

Revised Task Manager

(no change to capacitive button functions)

Improved Scrap Book App

Smoother Performance

Multi Touch Bug Improved

Additional Lock Screen Security Option

S Note Improvements

Improved Stand-by Battery Life

Support for Multiuser

Improved My Files App

New S Pen Behavior

Greatly Reduced (Exynos) Charging Time

Improved Battery Life

*Screen Write (via Air Command) Images no Longer Compressed

*Mini (Floating?) Keyboard Default in Multi View

*

Lock Screen "Cards" Replace Lock Screen Widgets

Note: This exists on the Pro 12.2's, it doesn't exist on the 8.4 and 10.1 Pro's so it's highly doubtful we'll be getting it. So there's nothing to replace the now missing lock screen widgets

*

Note 10.1 2014's Getting Hancom Office

(all Samsung 4.4 tablets including the $199 Tab4 7 are getting it)

Samsung e-Meeting's Available

Available In Samsung App's. So the only thing we don't have from the Pro's officially is the new keyboard, M-UX, and Remote PC. The latter's available here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2624986 )and can be loaded as a standard APK. Personally, with M-UX so barren of widgets and tiles, the loss of another resource hog of questionable value isn't really a loss; at least to me. I would like (without rooting) to have the new keyboard but such is life.

The multiwindow bar is on the right and flush to the screen. It's double stacked and much neater. There's a lot more attention to style, a mix between kitkat ui and twiz, much nicer. The notification panel is the most obvious change.

I've only used scrapbook so far, it's much slicker in layout, and comes with a copyright warning lol. Can't wait to dig in more.

Are the multitouch screen issues resolved, or at least lessened, by this firmware? I'm somewhat new to Android and may just wait for the OTA US update, but I do wonder.

Wait, wait... this it NOT a offical upddate but a leaked version and normally in such versions are bugs or stuff is missing. And also Samsung often made such mistakes but the home-button issue shows for me that this is NOT a final version!

So, please, don't interpret here now anything... it is useless unless we got the final version.

---------- Post added at 06:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 AM ----------

Yes, this 'cheat' works. But what did you mean with 'softkey'? I don't have one... and the menu key is still a menu key. So, we still have to long press the home key for the taskmanager (also with this cheat). But first time I long press the home button (before the cheat) I got a info popup, which is talking about the menu key. This is for me another hint that this is not a final version. Also some system settings entries didn't work but crash and so on.

But you have to be rooted.

Use an root file explorer to navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl

Edit line 139 and change "MENU" to "APP_SWITCH"

Save the file and then reboot. now you have a recent apps softkey
