Well I know but once you're rooted and you get the hang of it you can't go back.

I mean all the custom.tweaks available, AOSP ROMs, the nav keys mods alone are worth it to me.

Once you get used to ADB and fastboot and stuff all the devices seem easier to mess with.

HTC is just more difficult than most..
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
Well than, I'm stock right now and I have the toolkit on my desktop...I'll use the YouTube video as a guide. Any pre root steps I should take and what do I do if something goes wrong? I just don't want these odd issues I've been reading about...losing WiFi would blow. Not even sure how that happened any way.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] maximprime21:
I can do that, do I unzip it first then dump it in the twrp folder on my phone?

I would then go into recovery and hit restore and choose the folder that I unzipped, right?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] orangekid:
Just follow the directions.

No reason you should lose WiFi...

Unzip and move contents to TWRP folder on SD.

It won't ask you where to restore from, it will look only in the TWRP folder.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] maximprime21:
Just tried it, when I hit restore, it takes me to what appears to be a list with nothing on it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
I read 2 cases were they lost WiFi after something went wrong. I think the OP lost WiFi which is one of his reasons to go back to stock.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] orangekid:
Ok, go ahead and do a backup from your current ROM.

This will create a backup and you will see the correct folder structure.

There may need to be a backup sub folder etc..

Make your unzipped backup match the folder structure. Then restore the older one.

True, but it's always fixable and you can just flash a custom ROM anyways, which is what you'll want to do at some.point regardless..
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] maximprime21:
Ok, when I plug my phone into my pc and open it up into the twrp folder, I see a new folder called BACKUPS with a subfolder named FA43MWM03748 that I'm guessing has my back up in it.

the nandroid back up you linked is now on my desktop, in that folder it has 11 items and a similar file name pattern and in the new BACKUPS folder on my phone It has 9 items.

should I just copy and paste the files from the nandroid backup I downloaded into the newly made BACKUPS folder and write over them and then restore using recovery?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
I feel for you and I know you miss you're iPhone. I did the same thing once. Sold my iPhone and got an android and freaked out thinking I made the worst decision. Took it back and got another iPhone. Then a few days later i felt dumb for not giving it a little more time. Wasted more money and went and got an htc one m7. Trust me when I say once you get out of the mentality that iPhone is a superior phone, then will you see how android is so much better in every way. You are new and you should have gotten used to the phone before just jumping into the rooting process. Htc is about as friendly of a root process as you are going to get other than nexus, gpe etc. I will be glad to help you get back to as stock as you can get without an ruu, but I highly recommend you reconsider giving it a bit longer before jumping ship. Once you learn all the fastboot/adb commands, this phone is far superior to anything else on the market right now. I love my m8 and wouldn't trade it for anything. I remember smiling ear to ear when I started learning it all last year. Now I feel like a pro and help people unbrick their phones. Msg me if you need help getting back to stock.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] orangekid:
Yes.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] maximprime21:
Tried first copying the files from the nandroid backup into the newly made backups folder and overwriting the files already in there made by backing up my phone before and then restoring via recovery, no dice; It just booted me back into the same phone.

now i deleted the backup I made myself and dumped the nandroid backup in it's place, restoring now via recovery; fingers crossed so damn hard.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
I'm about to take the root pludge. I've installed the drivers, logged into the HTC site and about to request token. At any point from start to finish is there an abort option? I'll be working a long side the YouTube video...in case I run into something not noted in the video I'd like to pull the plug and regroup but I'm not sure I can once I start. The OP can use this as well...if he choices to root again after stock.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] orangekid:
Don't worry about it.

Just follow the video and we'll see you on the other side.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] maximprime21:
I don't know what to say, I'm finally back on stock. back to where I want to be with working wifi and all the original apps I had. Orange, You have reminded me of one of the reasons I chose an android phone and to become part of this community. You have literally saved my ass, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
Lol, nice. I do have my gs4 as back up in case of catastrophic failure but I I think the gs4 is a full sized Sim
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] orangekid:
Yeah that sounds like the ticket, if it sees the backup you should be good.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
I think I'll give it a shot tomorrow after work. This way if anything goes wrong I'll have most of the day to get it straighted out. The reason I'm concerned is. Because of all the issue comments on the YouTube video. Time will tell...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] orangekid:
Rooting is not necessarily fool proof.

But I wouldn't be too worried, no matter what happens, once you get a custom recovery on the device it doesn't really matter what "doesn't work" after that, because you just find the custom ROM that suits your needs.

The issues are usually with the SU program not playing nice with the ROM, or the actual "rooted ROM" having some issue. But they get ironed out.

Remember, this phone is very new, so there are bound to be bugs...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
Its really easy. No video needed. Make sure fastboot and adb are working first. Follow instructions on HTC site to unlock boot loader. This will wipe phone in case you didn't know. Reboot phone after unlock. A lot of people don't reboot and go straight to flashing. this can cause issues. Reboot working system. Then just flash recovery, load recovery, make backup, install supersu. No toolkits needed. Let me know if you have any questions.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
That's the thing. Im not sure what fast boot is or adb...these are terms that I'm yet to learn. Im coming from galaxy phones where the root programs were more or less one clicks and I used cwm for my flashing. I've been out of the game for over a yr due to the gs4 being locked down and I decided to stay away from the whole safe strap flashing.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] orangekid:
Well ADB and fastboot are things you should learn honestly if you're going to tinker with your device.

And they are very simple.

ADB is just a way to communicate with your device via your command prompt on your computer, while it is in recovery or turned on Android.

Fastboot is similar but is while the device is in the boot loader, and can do things like flash ROMs and recoveries etc..

They are very simple to learn, and once you know them, you can handle virtually any android device.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
Search for android sdk on Google. That will have everything you need.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
Thanks for the tip...I'll do some research.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
Message me for any specific questions.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
Glad it worked out for you...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
Thanks...appreciate that. I was just reading a guide on fast boot...I have a better understand but still a ways to go. Wish I would have had a nexus or HTC phone before now...I would have known about this stuff already. I'll pm you tom when I root...might need some hand holding, lol.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] maximprime21:
Would you mind pointing me to these tweaks? maybe some vids showing them off so I can know a good starting point?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
I would flash a Rom that has a bunch of tweaks such as viperone. Remember if your AT&T you have to flash the fix after flashing the rom.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] maximprime21:
flash the fix? I'm sorry, I don't know what that means.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] twiggums:
Check the viperone ROM thread. Some had issues with it so a fix is posted in the thread.

Test configuration with Note 2

Hi vectron,

thx for the test and the nice pictures.

I have a Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100) and I'm interested in the Beyerdynamic A200p.

However, the Galaxy Note 2 is not on the compatibility list for the Beyerdynamic A200p.

I contacted Beyerdynamic Germany and they confimed that they do not support the Note 2 with this DAC.

But it seems that you successfully tested this combination in your review.

Please can you post the test configuration for me::D

Which Note 2? 7100 or 7105

Android 4.3?

Samsung or Custom-ROM?

Which player app? built-in player or a special USB player like USB Audio Player PRO or USB Audio Recorder PRO?

Connection between Note 2 and the A200p directly with the enclosed Beyerdynamic USB OTG cable?

Thanks!
[General Accessories] vectron:
I have Verizon version, SCH-i605. Stock Android 4.3. Plays from EVERY audio app, stock Samsung player, Neutron, YouTube, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Pandora, etc. It doesn't matter which audio player. Note 2 supports digital audio over HDMI which comes out of micro-usb connector to bypass going to internal Note 2 dac. Yep, using Beyer micro-usb cable (it has proprietary connector going to A200p and regular micro-usb going to the phone). No need for any other OTG cables, Beyer/Astell&Kern included cable has it built-in.

Everything works perfectly. You can also use a charging cable with full usb connector to plug in to your laptop to use it as an external sound card. Also, works with new iPhone using lightning cable and soon they will release 30pin cable.

Btw, I just reviewed Beyerdynamic T51i headphones and used A200p in a review as well. Here are some more pictures how to attach A200p to Note 2.
[General Accessories] Shezoid:
You should start your own blog. :D

A lot of general information, try to write more about personal experience :cowboy:

We also love read more about comparisons :victory:

About comparison, can you make this DAC review? :o

http://hifimediy.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=124
[General Accessories] vectron:
One of these days, maybe. Too much time commitment while I still have a full time job, family/kids, and other projects... I know, comparison would be great, but I'm overloaded with review material and lately didn't have too much time to go back and to continue with analysis. What I'm trying to do now is to add a little bit of comparison in some of my new reviews.

Will check out that DAC, though you have to be realistic that $30 DIY dac is not in the same category as $300 brand name :) But, nevertheless, would be an interesting comparison. I will ping those guys for review sample.
[General Accessories] Shezoid:
I hope you will be surprised how good it is, especially for its price :)
[General Accessories] vectron:
Will see ;) I dropped them an email last night and got a reply right away, a review sample will go out this week. I'm sure it's better than a built in phone DAC, and probably will make a difference on my aging Note 2, but newer phones are getting better and better. Keep in mind, you are piping digital data from micro-usb connector, bypassing internal DAC, and you are using phones internal 5V supply to power up this external DAC. The package is small, so you can't do too much filtering of power supply (not enough room for discrete capacitors). As a result, you are powering up a high quality DAC with a noisy power supply feed. A200p has it's own rechargeable internal power supply to isolate it from phones power supply. Or something like FiiO E18 has internal power battery and big caps inside for a good filtering.

But nevertheless, I will be curious to compare and will write about it here!
[General Accessories] Martinjons:
Would you recommend the setup Beyerdynamic t51 I and a 200 P today? I'm looking for a good setup and it seems to be pretty good
[General Accessories] vectron:
Too many other choices are available now, market is flooded with decent headphones, amps, etc. Plus, a lot of the latest smartphones have out which can rival some portable DACs/amps. My A200p review was with Note 2, but my current Note 4 sounds so much better than N2. Plus, so my great budgets headphones. Jokes aside, I mean I review a lot of expensive gear with dedicated digital audio players that cost up to $2k and custom in-ear monitors that cost $1.7k, and yet I was happy to review and to share with everybody $12 KZ ED9 and KZ ATE headphones that sound very good.

Look through all of my reviews, sticky at the top of the forum. There are dozens and dozens of headphones and amps and dacs and daps :)

Maybe narrow it down to how much you want to spend and how are you planning to drive your headphones, and if you want on-ear or over-ear or in-ear type?

I've searched and searched but haven't managed to turn up a program that allows my Prophet to receive Infra-Red and perform actions.

I mainly want to use it while my Prophet is mounted in my car. I have a small infra-red remote that i would like to use to select tracks and start apps etc - possibly even answer calls etc.

All I can find is apps to turn a WM5 device *into* a remote. I just want it to be a receiver.

Anyone know of such an app - surely one exists.

Dear Skyntara,

I use a bluetooth keyboard for the functions you mention whilst driving. There are various kinds and types but one can be programmed for different functions according to the required applications. The advantage of bluetooth is that the IR port doesn't need to be pointed towards the remote control.. I do not know of any applications that execute functions depending on the buttons pressed.

You can start/pause it. As long as it's paused it's not going to keep track of steps. Also noticed that having minimum background running apps will increase life by a lot. It was like draining last night and closed all apps and now lasting 2x longer haha Maybe that was just me.

Hey guys sorry, Yeah referring to apps running on gear not phone. You can long press it or set up the double click to open recent apps to close.
[General Questions and Answers] Jettuh:
Hi all,

Some months ago my screen cracked and last week I finally received a replacement screen which I was able to install.

I have been looking for many hours to find a similar case but could only find cases where the touchscreen didn't work at all or intermittently stopped working.

The problem:

I can start my phone, the touchscreen works perfectly.

When I lock the phone and seconds / minutes / hours after I wake it again, the touchscreen stopped working (the power button and volume button still work)

Repro:

1. I replaced the screen.

2. started the phone -> touchscreen is working 100% :) (i can do everything)

3. I lock/sleep the phone (power button)

4. I unlock/wake the phone (power button) -> touchscreen is not working anymore

5. I restart the phone by taking out the battery and we are back to step 2, it works but stops as soon as I lock it again

What I've tried:

- multiple different roms, all resulting in the same problem

- hard resets / factory resets/ cache resets / dalvik resets

- removing the slide lock

Is there anything I can still try?

Isn't it strange that the touchscreen does work after booting, but the moment it sleeps/locks it stops working

The only way it works is by never putting my phone to sleep, which is not the best solution, right!?
