[Sprint HTC One (M8)] tetracw:
I rooted my H/K Edition M8 with S-Off. I discovered my phone is one of the defective ones. (cant no data on 3g, cant make calls, and I need to return it now. I relocked the bootloader and did the ADB hack to remove the **tampered** flag. The phone is still rooted though... I can't a new RUU for the H/K edition stock (only the original one form a few weeks ago that's kind of messy to work with)

Also, when i do "factory reset" both from the OS and the Boot Loader, the phone just restarts and goes into the boot loader without actually resetting anything. Help Please. Can anyone point me to the RUU for H/K edition release?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Hello,

I've been researching the Hermes BootLoader, the ROM Upgrade Utility issues a "info 3" command and gets some data and a checksum. This data is then used by the RUU to generate a dynamic password, then the RUU issues the command "password XXXX" and starts the upgrade process.

As this password is dynamic, you can't access the BootLoader in "privileged?" mode, but I don't know which bootloader commands are privileged.

I researched this because without password you cannot use command "d2s" or "s2d" to make ROM backups to SD, but after discovering how to access the bootloader with the correct password it is also not possible to issue these commands :(

BTW, in the attached file is described the method I used to access the bootloader with correct password. If someone could provide more information on the Hermes Bootloader, please reply to this topic or write a wiki article!

Enjoy! :D

I've written a page on the wiki with information on the Hermes Bootloader, if you find anything incorrect or missing feel free to edit ;)

After booting my TYTN in Bootloader

okay I think i am going to have to send my tytn back. After loading my TYTN in bootloader I did and info 8 and got the current print out. I think that it is tell me that my extended ROM is shot. Does any one know what this means? and can you tell me how to re-format my extended ROM?

I was going to post the results but made the post to long. the results are in the attached text file and help greatly appreciated

Guys, I just wanna ask few basic questions about the Clean Master Application which we can basically find in Google Play.

Is it safe to use ? I just wondering, because aside from the positive comments of its users, there are also negative feedback which specifically saying that it has a bad effect to phone's battery life. Some are saying that it will just drain your battery.

Thanks. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] D33KK:
Yeah it's safe to use as its not a virus or malware.

However android has a built in 'task killer' which frees up memory as it sees fit.

A lot of these clean up applications will kill an app which will relaunch straight away therefore causing more battery drain as the app is having to launch again immediately.

If you think your phone is too slow/the battery isn't good enough give it a shot for a few days and see if it is beneficial for you.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] ronmitre:
Great ! Thank you Sir !
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] jacksparao:

I personally believe that Clean Master is a fake app. I tried it and found that it eats up battery rigorously. If you want to see that just go to settings-> apps-> Running apps and you will see a lot of process from CM. It actually do nothing other than feeding your phone with junks and ads. If you are a rooted user, try the Purify by King root. I have tried it and found that it is really effective.

I have two problems, emergency!!!

I've Got a big problem. Many of u will think that it is not, but really bothering me.

I bought the phone from my provider (TELRNOR-SEBIA). When I did update via LG PC Suite, and when I get into download mode in the bottom left corner it says ROOTED. Phone is never ROOTED. There is another problem, when I get through root explorer, still have root folder. I've tried all ways to install KDZ. and TOT files, but I'm still ROOTED. Does anybody can help me clear the mystery? Even i am ready to pay if I get a solution.

I sincerely hope that someone will help.

Thank you for your time.

If you purchased phone new and you went into download mode and saw this then phone is not new.

From what I can see the phone is rooted. Can you see superuser installed in apps?

Possibly you purchased a phone that was used.

Your phone is NOT used (well as long as you can verify it was packaged the way it was supposed to be sold, you know like a brand new phone).

I have never rooted, however my status in download mode is ROOTED in red. This happened during the upgrade via PC Suite to official 4.4.2, at around 50% green NON ROOTED changed to red ROOTED. I have never touched any bootloader or flashed any recovery or rooted or done anything whatsoever. However it is there, red and in capitals, ROOTED. :eek:

My suggestion is, leave it as it is, it is just a false indication.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlr8me:
Interesting so the pc suite is responsible for rooting the device. Looks like LG has screwed itself paradoxically by implementing software that trips is own bootlocker.

Install this app and check whether the phone is rooted.

Or download titanium backup and run it. At the start itself it'll tell you whether it's rooted.

If it is, hurray, install a custom recovery, and flash Cloudystock or which other rom you fancy.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
That app is NOT going to help in this case. "Rooted" showing in that dialog means it was rooted at some time, not necessarily that is is currently rooted.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UCFour:
Until you have the stock recovery ...you can install the update when it is pushed

As you've stated that you phone is rooted then you might've flashed TWRP or CWM to do it so

flash back the stock recovery of your model and you are good to go...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You need the stock recovery that match your fw version. I.e if you are on 3.23.666.1 then you need the recovery from this version.

Here is a collection of stock recovery. If you can't find yours, you can extract the recovery.img from the previous ota. The recovery packed in the upcoming ota update might also work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie3045:
my software number now says 4.19.666.8. im as up to date as i can be through bell so if i flash an old recovery will it cause problems? or will i just get an OTA update to bring it back to the latest version
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
then flash the 4.19.666.8 stock recovery. an older recovery might work, not for sure. Or the recovery packed in the upcoming ota might also work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie3045:
I think I'm a little over my head now. Lol. I think I'm also missing some of the apps that were removed after the HTC dev unlock. Not good.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you'll probably have to restore these app if you want to update. The ota updater script md5 check these apps. If they are not on your phone, the ota installation will probably fail because of MD5 mismatch.

See this post from arhd if you want more details
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartik.kayz:
Ota update will not apply until and unless you have pure stock rom.

e.g. If your phone is pure stock you unlock its bootloader it will remove some apps which are installed in preload. Now if you relock the bootloader and flash stock recovery the ota update will not be applied as during flashing ota update check for these apps whether they are installed in preload or not. For ota updates to applied succesfully you need to run RUU of your model then flash ota.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie3045:
asking me to do the update now. im really not sure what exactly i need to do to get it now

alright ive found a nandroid backup for bell 3.23.666.1 and i also have the recovery to go with it. if i run that nandroid and flash the recovery do ya'll think i can then get the OTA?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie3045:
alright i tried this any couldnt get it to work. i flashed the recovery then rebooted phone. it asked to do the 4.19.666.8 update then rebooted, went to recovery but it was still TWRP recovery and not stock. so before getting to far involved i reflashed the nandroid i made this morning.

the whole not being able to s-off with hboot 1.56 is a bit of a pain. ive tried rumrunner and firewater with no luck.

so troubleshooting purposes i should add that i dont care about the tampered bar or anything like that. i dont have to send it back i just want the sense 6 ota. l
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartik.kayz:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
Then you didn't flash stock recovery... Either the recovery you flashed was not stock, or you didn't flash it right.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
No. ^

KNOX is a security container -> a place where you install apps inside a secure container that cannot be tampered with on a high level TrustZone security algorithm.

It's great that the person above said what it essentially does to your device, but what he explained above is what happens when the TrustZone between the software and the hardware is breached during root/downgrade/unsigned flashing. This essentially would allow the viewer of the KNOX status to know

when

the device does not trust it's own body with secure enterprise level apps (Application Integrity), hence the KNOX warranty bit will be set from 0x0 to 0x1 meaning "I will not ever run a secure container anymore".

You won't find KNOX 2.0 on your device as this is now a paid service for enterprises at a rate of $3.60 and it is only set up on your device when you have the KNOX 2.0 kit deployed on your device, unlike KNOX 1.0 where you get to enter KNOX mode anytime you want.

Anyone Flash T-Mobile or other firmwares on there AT&T Note 3? Back when I had my AT&T Note 1 I flashed the N7005 International Rom on it, same went with my Note 2.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
The SM-N900A or at&t note 3 has a locked bootloader. This prevents us from installing a custom recovery and flashing other firmware. So unfortunately at this time you won't be able to flash anything. If you were to obtain one anyway and it came preloaded with Kit Kat, you won't even be able to obtain root access. If you are lucky enough to obtain one with android 4.3 you can obtain root. There's even a work around for 4.3 called safestrap. Safestrap allows us to install tweeked roms. But there's not that many of them compared to the previous note versions you use to have.

Many at&t note 3 owners have sold or traded for the T-Mobile variant. The T-Mobile note 3 bootloader is unlocked.

I hope that gives you some insight.

I'd be lucky to have my phone stuck in landscape mode ;) Cuz usually you can't do that on the launcher without a rotation locker app. But anyway, try restarting your phone. If your lock screen goes sideways immediately, or your boot animation goes sideways before the lock screen, it has to be a system setting or kernel declaration. If your lockscreen stays portrait for >5 seconds but then goes sideways, it's an APP that's doing it!!
