[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
Absolutely not. Verizon is hellbent on "protecting their network" from us. They will require a patch for this exploit, but it could be a while til we actually see it. On the GS3, which launched with 4.0, it took them til 4.3 to finally relock the device. It was unlocked for a long time, probably due to the method employed (leaked bootloader).

We'll see.

But it is not the bad... You can see the pictures somewhere on the forum here :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
To me it is bad as there is a slight difference in quality then it not work properly, if not at all. We need concrete facts of what Unlock Bootloader damage on our phones and what, how the features still working. That what I didn't figure out yet.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiarock93:
I already unlock for a while to try doomlord kernel, x-reality i can't figure out there is different but camera is bad when unlock bootloader condition especially in low light,there is lot of noise , after relock i test in the same place and light and i can completely sure that bionz work on locked bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonas740:
Well.

Ive actually explained this before so i wont do that again. But here comes a theory why ppl belive the features aint working.

The cam stopped to work completley pre 4.3 right ? Ye back then the Bionz was affected hence the camera didnt work with unlocked bootloader. The camera itself cant work if the Bionz chip aint there. Google for image processing chips for cameras in general and find out what it is.

Although, Sony fixed theese issues with KitKat and here it comes, brace yourself. If you google this you will get ALOT of answers about it. Everyone suffered from bad quality photos since KitKat was introduced(even the normal users that never fiddles with their phones). So, NO it aint the unlocking of the bootloader that does it. Sony fixed all thoose problems ppl were having with unlocked bootloaders. It is the new software that does it. Media reviewers actually wrote about this aswell saying that Sonys cam wasnt any good no more. Google is your friend.

A bonus theory here: The "conspiracy theory" : Wouldnt it be smart to make some features look abit worse on the Z1 when the release of the Z2 is just around the corner ? If a customer wants a really good camera phone and just cares about that. And when he is comparing the Z1 with the Z2 and found that Z1 is just as good camera wise but half the price he would buy that one i would guess. Buuuut if you make sure the camera isnt working as good on the Z1 but super good on the Z2 while releasing the Z2. Then that consumer might buy the Z2 instead. It could very well be marketing stunts so the normal user would go "ehhh this Z1 aint working properly, ahh well ill just buy a new one like the Z2".

And ofc, when the Z2 has been out for a while the software will be fixed on the Z1 making the ones that didnt jump the train for Z2 happy again so that thoose might continue to buy Sony Xperia´s.

All big companies wanna make money. They have smart ways of doing so aswell.

I will buy a OnePlus One when that is released here, and if that is so good as it seems to be and that the company will continue to produce "flagship killers" to the half price and a more humane price. I will continue to support them instead. But usually everyone making money will get greedy. :laugh:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokcona:
first, I will explain my phone condition.

from off power. If I try to turn on by holding power button, I can feel it vibrates as normal when it turn on to boot up. But for my xplay, its screen show nothing and it seem that the screen does not turn on at all. Then if I plug it to pc from this condition, the pc will ring detect device sound and unplug device sound and detect device sound and unplug device sound, repeat and repeat forever. So I have to pull off battery to turn the phone off. But flash mode and fastboot still work with flashtool.( as you all know plug usb with back button and search button)

what I have done so far to solve this is :

- I have tried to flash stock rom R800_4.0.2.A.0.79 and r800a_2.3.3_US Generic via flashtool in flash mode. flashing is complete but my xplay still remain unbootable.

- flash doomkernel via fastboot with flashtool. process complete but again, problem is not solved.

any help ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xplay21:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xplay21:
I'm sorry no one could help you out as of yet, this issue does seem quite rare so we can expect why you haven't gotten any help and sorry bout that. I would probably flash the different types of firmware and see if theres any hope there, or you can send your phone to repair and that should be your last to resort solution.

Remove phone and insert it then hold back button(or search button i dunno, but don't turn it on) until the power button shows blue light(or green) and insert the usb cable into the computer. You must tick the two box when flashing stock rom. Check No final verifications and Reset Customizations. Are you trying to use stock rom with doom kernel?

I had this problem too.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CamillaHinchcliffe:
Have you tried flashing different Kernels and ROMs?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokcona:
I had used several custom rom before, the last custom rom is something with lupus kernel (sorry I cannot remember its name). At that time, I have many problem about performance such as when I got a call (the phone start to ring and vibrate) the screen won't show anything, I have to wait for several second before screen show up and I can recieve the call.

One day during on a trip, I designed to turn the phone off and pull out sim card. and used my friend's iphone4 during the trip. When I back home. I tried to start my xplay again. But the phone won't start anymore, it become the state as I mention in this thread.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokcona:
I have not tried 'No final verifications and reset customizations' yet. So I will tried this when I got my phone back.

ps. I sent it to sony service center last week. Yesterday, they call me that it is hardware failure, and they don't have spare part. But I think they just cannot figture it out what is the problem and don't want to bother with old phone. So I call it back. still wait it to be back in my hand.

Atleast good news for you, i just read your answer and have to tell you that i have no idea too sorry ... Maybe it is really hardware failure.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cpurick:
Browsed the stickies for this stuff, but the closest I found was a pretty old post from before Verizon shut down S-Off.

I have a new HTC One w/ build 1.10.605.8 (Android 4.2.2/Sense 5.0). How far behind is this? Does it mean I have a better chance for exploits to work? I'm making a point of not putting the phone into a position where it might take an OTA. Presumably hacking the phone gets harder with the latest builds.

I would like to root this, if possible. If I can unlock the bootloader that's even better. S-Off not as important, but I'll do it if it's the pathway to an unlocked boot. I'm guessing there are still ways to unlock this (or equivalent) since Big Red shut down our HTC Dev?

Is there a current thread discussing this? Maybe somebody can show me where the latest info is. Or at least tell me what the general strategy is for customizing this device, if it's possible.

I'm pretty comfortable with this stuff; I once had to use a wire to S-Off an HTC Rezound. I just need to know where to go to find the current tools.

I saw references to weaksauce, rumrunner and firewater. Are these current? Can someone steer me toward the latest and greatest???
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Since you're on 4.2.2 and 5.0 you should be able to use rumrunner.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2473644
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cpurick:
Thank you very much.

Looks like this tool sets S-Off? Does that disable/bypass the signature checks in the bootloader, or does it allow install of an alternate bootloader? How do I get from S-Off to a custom ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Not sure exactly, but once you're s-off you can just flash a recovery via fastboot and then flash a custom Rom through recovery.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cpurick:
And I can do that even though I can't technically unlock the bootloader?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
It will unlock your boot loader.

http://rumrunner.us
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Any luck? In case anyone else has the same question in the future.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
S-Off trumps all. With S-Off you can do anything with your phone, including unlocking the boot loader and custom recoveries.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cpurick:
I used rumrunner because my older build was identified as being vulnerable to that exploit. I'm not sure about the interactions between S-Off and Bootloader because the device+build-specific rumrunner did both S-Off and unlocked BL in addition to rooting it. It says "unlock" but the experience looked like an engineering bootloader had been installed. The phone acquired a proprietary HTC disclaimer at startup.

If you have an early enough build, I would definitely recommend rumrunner for unlocking it. That program totally pwned the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
The warning comes when you go S-Off. Every HTC One with S-Off does that. Rumrunner did its job.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnySSH:
Hi,

is there a list with features/screenshots available for custom ROMs for the HTC One?

Basically I've been testing out all the versions of Stock ROM and finally on 4.4 there seem to be quite a few bugs and other things that irritate me....

What I'm basically looking for is something that will be able to be updated while still being rooted. Also in addition I would like to get OpenVPN working again, a bug in 4.4 seems to not create the Tunnel interface. It would also be nice to have the root file system RW too which I'm unable to do in the Stock Rooted path.

Can anyone suggest anything?

So after all the developments we've seen in phones in past few years, digital zoom is as useless as it ever was (only hollywood has access to some amazing tech in this field). Anyway, with no built in optical zoom in Nexus 5, I started looking out and bought myself an 8X zoom lens with a manual focus ring.

Before anything else, here're some results:

Before

After

Before

After

In the first set I was amazed even at that distance I could easily make out individual leaves on the tree behind those flags. I found it quite impressive. Wouldn't you say? (all pics are reduced from actual size from nearly 4MB to less than 1MB)

Now the best part, the price 8.56CAD (Less than Rs 500)! With FREE SHIPPING

And it comes with a mount which allows the lens to be used with almost any phone camera, and besides that the lens itself can be used as a very decent 8X zoom monocular/telescope.

The lowest focal length is 3m, so you can get real closeup pics of (say) a spider on your ceiling too :laugh: I used it on my birds, who never stay still when I come near with a camera :rolleyes:

The mount also has a standard tripod input, so you can mount your phone on any tripod you might have. Its a big plus.

The above are all pros, and for cons: There's some chromatic aberration where sharp lines with high contrast meet, but that's normal for all inexpensive lenses.

With and without the phone attached. The lens is mounted on a tray sliding on a guiding rail (see arrows in first pic), then there's a thumb screw to tighten it in place (clearly visible in both pics). The mount has springs inside that allow it to stretch and grab a phone even larger than N5.

The lens hole is exactly the size of the black ring around N5 lens, but even if that had been much smaller, it'd be ok as the lens on the phone is much smaller than the surrounding black ring.

Best way to attach it is first fit the mount to see that the lens hole is lined up, and then screw in the lens.

Let me know if there are any more questions.

By the way, I dropped the lens yesterday on a stone floor from about 5ft, it left a small mark on the body but everything else is undamaged - nice to know, eh?
