[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anjaan:
The question of rooting and still able to perform an OTA has been asked a few times in various threads. And just when I thought I had it figured I read Ark's message and get confused again! :eek:

What I have learnt by asking in another thread and searching through net is:

We can perform OTA as long as:

We do not flash any custom recovery. We can boot into it to take nandroid backup first and then flash SU.

We do not install any Custom ROMs or kernels

We do not delete stock apps. We can freeze them in titanium if we do not use the stock apps.

We do not over/under clock

We can however install root apps like Titanium backup, greenify etc. or even xposed framework(?) without affecting OTA possibility*

Assumptions:

1. Above points are for people who do not want to flash stock recovery every time an OTA is realized. They have rooted to enjoy some very basic features of root and want the easy, hassle free OTA update option after rooting.

2. Doesnt matter whether the phone is carrier locked/unlocked or an international version.

*Note:

I am a newbie myself and in no way an expert on the topic. My knowledge is limited to what I have understood upon reading online. I request the guys with the know how to correct me if I am wrong or add to the points mentioned above.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthBayBruin:
Thank you for the list I am a newbie as well and I am trying to figure out what needs to be done before I start rooting my phone. I know it's a good idea to perform a nandroid backup before changing anything on your phone, but what is the specific purpose here?

Do I need to restore the nandroid backup before an OTA update can take place?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exad:
No you don't need to restore the nandroid to accept the OTA, the nandroid is just a good idea in case you mess stuff up so bad that you cannot undo what you've done. There are no RUUs so the only way to go back to stock is to restore a nandroid if you mess something up.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthBayBruin:
I realize this is definitely a very simple question, but how would one restore a nandroid backup?

Is it as simple as first placing the nandroid file in the correct file path (TWRP: \sdcard\TWRP\backups\).

Once the nandroid file is in the correct location boot into recovery and select recovery on TWRP and selecting intended back and I'm assuming slide to restore?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exad:
You got it homie
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caleb83:
As for OTA updates, can we disable all the VZW apps through titanium backup and still receive OTA updates? Or do some of them need to be active? I'm not terribly fond of those apps being on my phone, even if I do have a ton of storage available... Thanks

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nonews:
I have been EXTREMELY disappointed in the data speed and connectivity of my new HTC One M8 on Verizon. The phone was having difficulty where my previous phone (HTC Thunderbolt... yes I used it for 3 years) was working fine.

This evening I conducted a test holding the phone differently:

test time

1 1:33 Phone sitting on desk

2 1:35 Phone held in left hand in palm with finger touching both sides

3 1:35 Phone placed back on desk to repeat desk test... test did not complete.

4 1:37 Phone held with 2 thumbs and fingers at bottom and held up (new server after restarting the app after the previous test failure)

5 1:40 Phone sitting on desk

My phone is NOT in a case and does NOT have a bumper. I will repeat the test when I get a case.

This is only a single set of data and should be tried by others and at other times of day etc.

For those of you experiencing data issues -- do you use a cover or bumper?

For those NOT experiencing data issues -- do you use a cover or bumper?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] eikast:
If you're having problems then you probably have a defective phone. Just replace it at Verizon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] nonews:
I appreciate your reply.

I did another test with a phone case around my HTC.

with case on Desk 12.25M up 5.56M down 57 ping

with case in hand 10.05M up 3.57M down 51 ping

with case in hand 10.07M up 3.45M down 81 ping

with case on desk 12.61M up 3.55M down 69 ping

without case in hand connection failure

The case helped a lot. There are admittedly many variables out of my control.

Would you still recommend replacement for a unit that worked fine with a case but poorly without one?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] zenisnotchosen:
I've been getting poor speeds with my M8 when my Thunderbolt was fine, but I've figured out it's only on certain towers. An example: .6-5.5 down at home, 55-65 down at my brother's. Try testing distant locations as well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evocm7:
Those speeds are average for semi weak signal areas. Depending on your city, the tower layout may not be very dense and more spread out. My city is decent size but spread out and has a few large traffic areas which have aws working. My house pulls 2-5mbps, I get 15-20 at work, while at my friends house I'll get 80-100+ down ( aws obviously). It just really depends on the signal strength and traffic on the tower. You could have a bad phone but I doubt it

That is a good place to start viewing the logcat, I honestly stopped using the emulators and just went to testing against my actual device, I suggest testing against as many different android devices as you can get ahold of you'd be surprised with the nuances...

I would like to offer users of a ROM the ability to set their own global, system frame rate limit. For example, if a user wants to save a lot of battery, they could set the limit to 30FPS, but if someone wanted performance, they could increase it to 80FPS.

Where should I look for the ability to do this? There are many threads discussing removing limits but none about setting them.

:crying: I started rooting last year so I don't have much experience. I want to upgrade to Kit-Kat but I am afraid of losing root. I use root mainly to access my hotspot because I travel a lot for work and the hotel wifi's are usually horrible. I looked through the development forum and honestly tried to follow instructions, but as I opened links I found more links to 8 or 10 other links depending on what versions of software. There are a lot of warnings to ensure you download the right one or else you will brick your phone.

At this point my eyes are burning and I am so frustrated about what to do. Please help me!! I just need to pointed to which specific file I need to run Kit-Kat rooted so I can access my hot spot. Thank you sooo much for reading my post.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Ok guys,

I am not new to Android but this is really really starting to give me the sh!ts. I have no f#*%ing idea how many times I have gone and restocked this POS tab.

I follow the guide to a T for Overcome etc etc. I know all that.

I can flash CM10 through recovery from there and it completes oddly enough. However it does not boot at all. I have done this maybe 10 times. No boot. Just constant re-install of the kernel and Cyangen Bootanimation. I also have no recovery as soon as that happens and then I have to start ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!

Ok so I decide to try CM 9.1.0 stable. Surely this will allow something. Guess what? It doesn't even install. YES I have removed the lines from the updater script. I mean how stupid. If you don't even have a system for a getprop to querey of course it is going to fail.

Remove the lines, gets to BML/MTP and starts to process for maybe about 10-15 seconds and then reboots and becomes a brick

What in gods name am I missing here that isn't in the million and 1 guides I have already read and the conflicting opinions of people say 'flash CM10 straight after Overccome kernel' and 'No no no you need to be onn CM9 first' and I have even read 'No you need to flash CM7 first then from there you can flash CM10'

Like WTF?

Cant there just be a 100% true guide. For starters Overcome ROM guide only gets you to there, nothing more. There is no steps in between. There are only guides that assume that you have done the steps to get to Overcome ROM.

I am about to scour the internet now and see if I can find CM7 cause I am sick to death of restocking and starting from scratch on this stupid POS. I mean FFS I thought that this would be straight forward like when I updated my i9000 Galaxy S to ICS, but noooooooo nothing I have done gets the results of what people claim in the guides.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
These are my steps

Odin

PIT = gt-p1000_mr.pit

PDA = GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar

Modem = modem.bin (JK3 as per the guide)

reboot download - it does boot otherwise

Odin

PDA = CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar

reboots into Gingerbread

reboot download again

Odin

PDA = Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar

Sexy voice does her sh!t (I thought that this was where we did BML to MTD but it's not its rfs to ext4 - thought I'd add that for anyone that has in the past like me had experience with doing this stuff before and needs a refresher).

Reboot into recovery and from here is anybodys guess?

I need the EXACT EXPLICIT DETAILS FROM THIS POINT!

Everything I try from here completely messes the P1000 and I have to start again.

CM10 - Flashes but doesn't boot - recovery updates but flashing anything else obviously kills it and I start again

Overcome ROM wipe - Flashes but exists the script before completing

CM9.1.0 - Flashes, gets to BML/MTD and quits - note Recovery is completely screwed after this point

CM7 - Yes I am about to try this. Please tell me why this is wrong and explain and I will listen. Please also advise all the other people out there with guides that are wrong to update them and include the important details that they have overlooked for people like myself.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Overcome kernel converts rfs to ext4 but still in BML.

When you flash cm9 or cm10, flash it 3 times.

That is by selecting the zip. Flash it, it reboots to recovery (a new recovery, no longer overcome).

Flash zip again. Now it converts to MTD. It then reboots to recovery. (Many people think it is bootlooping. )

At this point flash zip again. Now it does the longer install.

Screen says a lot of thing about /system and stuff.

Let it finish and reboot to cm.

The weakness of most guides is that they never say 3 times.

The noobs thinks it is a bootloop without reading what the recovery is doing.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
You may have missed the point where Recovery becomes unreachable the minute I flash CM9 the first time. After that I can no longer get recovery and device becomes a brick.

If you can provide a link to a known 100% certain to work version of CM9 or any CM I would be greatly appreciated! I believe there is much confusion (and to be honest I got lost with so many different opinions about changes made to CM in their thread) as to what version is best to flash. I personally tried the latest CM of version 9.1.0 and the stable (to which there were two and I tried one but not the other?) and did not have any luck with either.

Look forward to hearing from you

Thanks for your reply mate :good:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Not sure why your cm9 gone bad.

Make sure you download the p1 variant and check the md5 sum of the file.

It has always been on with me.

Restock. Overcome kernel. Then flash cm 3 times.

Unless there is a hardware issue?
