TZ stands for trusted zone. The touch panel firmware was not updated and so was not included in the OTA zip.

If you're s off, AND SOFF ONLY, you CAN downgrade firmware. You really seem to not understand this very much and I highly recommend you do some reading. You could easily damaged your very expensive device not understanding and I'm not a teacher. Firmware is not software and is not to be treated as such. There is not a rom out there that will truly hard brick your device but you better believe firmware can. Make sure you are an educated and responsible user.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] treIII:
Ok. So how do I get the kernel from the ota and make it a flashable zip? That's what I need along with your 1.57 based Rom. Then I'll have the entire package minus recovery and still be able to flash roms from the international thread if I want. We need a kernel thread so that as updates continue to come out everything can be separately flashed. I'm glad fenny and behold this are over here in the T-Mobile thread or else we would be screwed. Thanks.

So since you flashed the full firmware you can no longer flash roms from the international thread? Or did you pull the recovery.img and flash it only?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
Fenny's 1.57 Rom will include the boot.img which will include the kernel. You're getting excited for nothing. You'll have what you need once he post the ROM. You do not need to take it separately from anywhere else.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
SHA-BLAM! I got the original stock update-binary to work by dumping /proc/emmc into /data/emmc (from normal boot) then patching the update-binary to look there instead. It should be easy enough to have a shell script instead of the update-binary that dumps the appropriate data there and then copies a renamed update-binary as well as the updater-script to /tmp/ and then executes it from there. I think the only concern would be with the devices running GPE FW, so I will probably need to add a script assert to check the build prop. :D
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
Nice. I just want to be clear on one point, though. It will only work for s off users. You will be breaking the HTC signature and therefore s-on users will not be able to flash. Security on HTC devices can only flash official signed firmwares zips.

Also I have the complete firmware package which will help GPE converted users get back to stock sense. I'm just unsure if I would want to release it or not as it is not publicly available yet.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
Yes, but an unmodified firmware zip should still work just fine, and it can be done from recovery with this method. I.E. No need to hook it up to a computer.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
You really should make it an aroma option if you want to be responsible. Flashing firmware carries with it inherent risks that flashing ROMs typically do not. I can see little benefit to mixing the two other than not connecting to a computer. That's going to encourage people to flash the wrong firmware and damage their device. Not to mention many users will not want to update the firmware with a ROM flash. I am one of them. My associates would agree. Then you gotta take into account that there are no less than four model IDs for this device and countless CIDs. To be responsible and protect users you will need to have multiple checks in place. Its just a can of worms that shouldn't be opened.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] treIII:
roWhy can the ota along with the original Rom not be made into one Rom just like after accepting the ota? And made flashable through recovery like the stock deodex Rom that is posted? Along with the new kernel? And I do read a lot. There's just so much to ingest so I'm still learning. But before I flash anything I read the op and make sure I clearly understand what I am doing. At least I think I know what I'm doing.

Anyway, do your thing man. I will continue to maintain and upload firmware zips in my thread as I have been doing. My zips are all safe, and tested using tried and true methods. If you guys want to go somewhere else for your firmware by all means, please do so. It's no problem, really. There's enough room for everyone here.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] treIII:
I am listening. But how can we flash the international roms with their kernels if this is the case? I'm not using their firmware. I have flashed 1.54 roms from international thread while I'm on our original firmware.

Edit: I think I understand and can answer this myself. It's because the boot.img isn't included in their roms. It just the kernel.

You should make a nandroid completely stock since you took the ota after signing out of all of your accounts of course then post it and we could all just put it in twrp and restore it. Then we will have the update. Then if some want to go to behold this thread and upgrade firmware they can. I just want to make sure I run the right kernel with the new ota. I'm no dev but I've been slowly learning since the my touch 4 g days also. I'm not a crack flasher but this is a fun hobby for me.

I think if you'll just be patient and wait I'm sure [MENTION=522448]Fenny[/MENTION] will post everything you want all in one place and you can be happy. In fact, if he wants, I'll be more than willing to have a moderator give him the second post in the firmware thread so that his recovery packages can be in the same spot. That is up to him how he wants to post it though. As I said before my zips will remain in current format regardless.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] treIII:
What would happen if we made a mistake and flashed the 1.57 kernel on the wrong Rom? Brick? That's what I'm thinking. Is anyone going to pull the kernel and make it a flashable zip? If I knew how I would. Where's flare 2?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
I know this is off topic, so apologies to the OP, but since the thread already went this way, I feel I should mention One last thing. You do not need to flash firmware through recovery to flash without a PC. You can still do it through bootloader the recommended way.

If anyone would like to install firmware without hooking up to a PC, all it requires an SD card. Simply rename the firmware zip "0P6BIMG.zip" & copy to the root of your SD card. Then reboot into bootloader (power+vol dwn) and when prompted to confirm the flash select Yes using volume keys to select and power key to confirm the update.

I flashed the OTA while rooted and s-on. Lost root....has anyone reroot?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] cbrown245:
Flash a custom recovery and install su and find out if it works ....
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jcaicedo82:
It worked. Thank you
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Fenny:
I have decided that current recoveries are too buggy. I'm not going to release recovery compatible FIRMWARE packages. But just fyi the process is this: maybe_install_firmware_update writes the zip file directly to the cache partition, then writes the firmware update command directly to BLM (Boot Loader Messages), then reboots the device. The device picks up this firmware update command in the bootloader, and performs a normal fastboot style install of the firmware. My concern is that TWRP is acting oddly, and the zip could get chunked while writing it to the cache partition. (And I do mean that it writes the image directly to the partition.)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Behold_this:
Good info there. Also, not sure if you saw my post above, but to reiterate, firmware.zip can be flashed without a PC via the bootloader (provided its named correctly) as long as you have an SDCard.

I consider this a good question. Since this person flashed the ota posted here can they flash rims from international thread any longer? I'm asking this because if they flashed the ota in this thread didn't it contain the boot.img which would not permit flashing of anything but 1.57 roms? Thanks

Sounds like you edited some of your internal system apps.. Are you rooted?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] cbrown245:
Boot img has nothing to do with flashing international roms , in order the flash a boot img you must be s-off . If you are s-off it does not matter which software version you flash or the boot img as long as the mount points are correct for your device . It's hard to understand what exactly you are asking , if you need a boot img ie kernel look at the elemental kernel in the international thread it boots just fine . There are going to be plenty of custom roms from this update please be patient .

I flashed the stock recovery, did the update, and cwm recovery. Everything works fine there.

I can't seem to re-root.

The version of su.zip that I had didn't work.

I downloaded the zip of cwm-superSU-v0.94 and flashed that. It also didn't work.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnaz:
I have a phone which due to some perhaps corrupted bootloader or recovery cannot enter download mode. It is not rooted.

Is there any way to flash a ROM, be it stock or custom, without the phone being either rooted or without entering download mode? I can enter the recovery, so I'm hoping that there is a way to use an update.zip from there to fix my problem

The phone is a I9300T.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i23mix:
Just thought I would share that the F880 series and possibly the ZX1 can still be rooted. I came across a Japanese YouTube video showing the root process for an F886 with 1.24.0000 firmware. It involves using the KingRoot software and installing SuperSU instead of the KingRoot app. I tried it myself on my F887 and can confirm it works! Since I couldn't read Japanese, I just followed along with the video and used the links in the description.

Link to video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_F4Ef7fBo0

You might want to enable usb debugging after enabling developer options (I'm not sure you really need to do this, but it couldn't hurt) http://www.greenbot.com/article/2457...or-tablet.html

Steps I've deciphered from watching the video:

1) Download and install the KingRoot software for Windows from http://www.kingroot.net (the software is completely in Chinese language unfortunately)

2) Start up the KingRoot software (if it hasn't already started up already) and plug in your F880 series walkman. It should be detecting your device and downloading root exploits for it.

3) When it's done finding the root exploit for your device, click on the green Root button and it should start rooting your device. (the device should restart a couple of times)

4) Rooting should be finished when the program shows a big green check mark and KingRoot app launches on the device.

5) Close the KingRoot app since we'll be installing SuperSU instead.

6) Go to: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How...perSU.html?m=1 and download Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip at the bottom of the page.

7) Extract Replace_Kingroot_With_SuperSU.zip and there should be a folder named "mrw". Move the "mrw" folder to the root directory of the device. You can disconnect the device from the computer after the "mrw" folder is done copying and close the KingRoot program on the computer.

8) Open up the Google Play store and download/install "Terminal Emulator for Android".

9) Start up Terminal Emulator and type the following:

su

(hit enter and press "allow" when the pop up appears)

sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh

(hit enter, the script should run and there should be a whole lot of failures, it should also crash)

10) Press OK, and SuperSU should start up. Press "Normal" and SuperSU should start to install. Press OK again the next 2 times when the pop up appears.

Congratulations! Your F880 should now be rooted! Now you can install awesome stuff like Viper4Android, Xposed, and a bunch of battery saving apps such as Greenify and Amplify.

Hi guys

I just got my Verizon G2 2days ago and was able to root but all the threads that I find are confusing. I need a custom recovery to start flashing ROMS but don't know what to install. I have searched. How can I install TWRP 2.7.0.0?

Other question how do I know if I have a full 24A bootstack already. I got the phone 3 days ago. I installed the 4.4.2 update (2 updates) and then I rooted and installed the last recovery. I am ready for flashing but I don't know if I have 24A bootstack. Can anybody clarify? I am new to LG world coming from the Galaxy S4, S5 and then HTC One M8. I am liking better the LG G2.

Thanks

Mario
[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
If you took the OTA to 4.4.2 you're on the 24A bootstack. You're all set. When you start flashing ROMs be sure they are for 24A before you flash. If they're not they won't boot without the 12B radios.
[Verizon LG G2] docmarioce:
Great! I can't wait to start flashing. Thanks! Any recommendations on ROMs?. I like stock look but is a little slow. I guess if I have the same system just faster I would be happy.

Thanks again. Enjoying my new forum and phone so far.

[Verizon LG G2] JRJ442:
For 24A we have the stock based ROMs. Like Malladus, Cloudy and a few others. AOSP for 24A is currently Carbon, there's a CM11 build for 24A in the VZW development section. C-Rom, Resurrection Remix and Mahdi. Which I highly recommend, so much closer to AOSP than CM and the others as dr87 pulls in stuff from the N5 to make our G2 as awesome as possible. Personally its my favorite. I'd keep an eye on the thread and wait til the next build for that one though. Should be coming soon.

Hello,

If I try to download as a free user from rapidgator.net or uploaded.net, it always fails on WebKit based browsers. So far, I tried on:

- Dolphin Browser

- Boat Browser

I also tried on multiple devices:

- Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus (Android 4.2.2)

- LG G Pad (Android 4.4.2)

Downloading from these sites works just fine on Firefox (Gecko) and Opera (Chromium), so I presume it's related to WebKit.

My guess is:

- The browsers don't send some HTTP header, maybe Cookies.

- They request the same URL more than once, maybe a HEAD, then a GET. And as free user, you can download only once every xx minutes, so the second request fails.

Anyone else experiences this?

Is there any browser developer that has more info about this problem?

Thanks.
