[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
If you don't get the device name back after "fastboot devices" you have a fastboot connectivity issue. Yes, its strange that adb connects, when fastboot does not. But its not unheard of, as I've seen it before on other devices.

Try re-installing HTC drivers.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sttw1fa:
I have deleted the HTC drivers, rebooted, and let Windows 7 Pro reinstall them when I reconnected my HTC One M8. Same problem. 'fastboot devices' does not show the M8 connected (immediately returns to the command prompt), but 'adb devices' does show the M8.

I also went into Device Manager and chose the device drivers while the M8 was connected, and chose the option to check for driver updates. It did do a net search and update the driver (even after I had just installed it). The HTC One M8 does appear and disappear in Device Manager as it's connected/not connected.

I even tried a different USB cable to the M8. Nada.

So...I do have a Mac desktop also. I downloaded the Android SDK, installed the latest version, and started using Terminal to run adb and fastboot. Here's where it gets me stumped...again. 'adb devices' on the Mac (using terminal) works, and shows the M8. 'fastboot devices' immediately returns me to a terminal prompt. 'fastboot erase cache' just says "waiting for device".

Any ideas? Same issue, two different computers, one Mac, one PC.

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sttw1fa:
some progress...

Continuing with my stupidity and noobness (so it appears)....

With adb commands, the M8 can be in 'any state' and it will respond, correct?

With fastboot, does the M8 have to be in the fastboot menu state (power off, then the power button + vol down button, then choose the fastboot option) to respond to fastboot commands?

Because it will respond to fastboot commands when I am in that screen, but not in the first fastboot screen, nor the regular booted OS (like it's a normal phone). When it is responding to fastboot commands, it does say 'FASTBOOT USB' in red roughly 1/3 way down screen, with the menu items and options below.

If that's the case, it seems the M8 is responding to fastboot commands.

I did a fastboot erase cache and it worked. Just need to know where to go from there.

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Oh yeah, DUHHH. I had a brain fart and totally spaced on the fact that

fastboot commands only run when the phone is in fastboot mode

.

There are not two fastboot screens. When on the bootloader screen, the text under all the green phone info is the "mode" your phone is in (probably hboot) and you select fastboot from the menu below, this should change to say "fastboot" in red. This means you are in fastboot.

From there, put your selected custom recovery file into the same folder as fastboot.exe. Then run the commands:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(where "filename.img" is replaced with the file name of the desired custom recovery)

Then see if you can go into custom recovery.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sttw1fa:
Understood. I've not run across that requirement mentioned in the 'how to' searches and reading that I've been doing. Some of the littlest nit picky things make us noobs appear really dense, even though we are researching and reading! :o

Now...I'm assuming the 'filename.img' needs to be the same as what I did originally?

'Cause it's my understanding that to go between different ROMs (in my case)...there needs to be a 'wipe' of the phone done in TWRP, as well as a repartition done, because I'm going from the Google Play Edition ROM (supposedly mostly stock) back to a Sense based ROM.

Thanks again for the pointers.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] brianray14:
Don't feel bad dude, I came from a long line of Samsung devices having NEVER used adb prompts and felt totally inept too. By a stroke of luck I was able to find the answers I needed but jeez, took me about an hour and a half to unlock, flash recovery, root and s-off. As it turned out, my SDK was way old and adb wasn't picking phone up either. Found a YouTube vid that had just a few files with adb attached to it (maybe 10MB) and voila. To a noob, that takes time to figure out
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sttw1fa:
I was able to flash the recovery file, boot into TWRP (finally, yay), and do another backup besides the original one done when first converting to the GPE Rom.

Now I'm off to follow the reading some more, then follow the steps to get back to a Sense based rom from the GPE RUU rom...looks like a few extra steps as the system partition sizes are different.

Thanks again!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
"filename.img" is whatever the recovery file (ends with .img) is that you want to flash (and don't actually type any quotation marks). I don't know what you mean "did originally".

I opened Xposed Installer this morning to check for updates. Sense 6 Toolbox and Snapshare both updated, and then something.systemui crashed. I rebooted and now circle battery (which I had gotten from GravityBox) is reading 0%. If I set GravityBox back to the default battery it reads correctly. Anyone else seen this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
I'd try the basic xposed troubleshooting. Just remove the modules reboot try again. If all else fails uninstall xposed framework and try again. If that fails try to find the previous versions of the effected modules
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jshap70:
Very possible... although gravity box was never intended to work with sense. It is probably an issue with gravity box, not the sense toolkit.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] qoncept:
Well, I had to reinstall Xposed but it seems to be working now. THanks for the help.

[Galaxy S II General] natalya:
Hey guys,

from reading around the forum lately, I am starting to believe it is very possible to port Samsung stock 4.4.2 from another device to our beloved S2. It should be able to run it just fine with these specs.

Take a look at this guide for example: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development/guide-how-to-port-sammy-4-4-2-firmware-t2750152

We have all that is needed, and if we attempt to follow the steps of that guide by of course using S2 files instead, it could be simple to get a bootable version. Remember, that is just one guide out of a hundred, there are other ways of doing this.

However, my concerns are with the bricking part. Personally I am not aware of how big the possibility of bricking a S2 is by attempting this in case it goes wrong. If this is no issue, then we might as well have fun trying.

What are your thoughts on this?
[Galaxy S II General] rahulbrand:

True, they ported from Note2 which has same chipset as S3: Exynos. Our S2 has Exynos too ya know, so I am really convinced it is possible to get it on i9100!
[Galaxy S II General] thddavid:
Is it stable?
[Galaxy S II General] zaidx:
I think it's possible

A great developer has already ported xperia z2 kitkat build to 2011 xperias like arc s or xperia ray... And he's going to do the same with 2012 xperia line. But I don't know why we can't even port 4.2.2 build from s2 plus. I mean they're exactly the same right?
[Galaxy S II General] ahmedelhofy:
It's not impossible i think

But I'll take much more work compared to the work done for the S3.....
[Galaxy S II General] natalya:
If we manage to get a booting port, a lot of progress can be made as a lot will be interested in helping I am sure.
[Galaxy S II General] darth_mickrig:
Wouldn't it be wiser to use the Galaxy S4 Zoom or Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 ROMs and Kernels to do the porting, because the SoC should be more similar to the S2 (Exynos 4210 vs 4212)?
[Galaxy S II General] adsltrunks:
Nope. S2 plus isn't Exynos.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcAntonyy:
I apologize if I have missed this information in my searches, but I have been searching and have flashed a few KK ROMs and haven't found Tablet UI in a KikKat ROM. I'm running 4.3 w/ Xposed now in order to have tablet UI.

Are there KK ROMs with tablet UI?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrizmaticSmoke:
What i've read here on XDA is that google removed tablet UI from the framework in 4.4.

I'm no developer, but i believe that means it would have to be rebuilt from the ground up by someone willing to tackle this, so even if it is possible to see it again, it likely won't be anytime soon if at all.

hello,

my display of my Galaxy Nexus was broken (pic), and i am looking for a replacement or rather a new one.

I have the GSM-Version of the phone.

Now i found on eBay serveral offers with displays from the Verizon-Version. So my question is, does that display fit into the GSM-Version too?

So i mean the connectors and dimesnsion etc..., are they identical?

The frame around is different i know, but io only need a new display.

My phone still works fine, also with the damaged display but i would use my loved G-Nexus for a few more month.

Any ideas?

So this started happening last night, after i wanted to make a backup of a rom it said it failed and couldnt mount the /data and then it asked me to type a passwrod to decrypt storage data....i have never had a password enabled for that and nothing i do can get past that unless i format my data completely.... i did that last night, lost all my data but it worked so whatever! however, today i try to do the same thing, make a backup to flash a new rom and backup failed and here we are again! DOes anyone know what is going on? Or how to set the damn password myself?? I dont wanna keep doing this! HELP!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grentuu:
More info required. What are you flashing? (ROM)

This sounds similar to the RUU Google Play Edition which changes the partition sizes. When you try to flash a sense rom it sees the partition sizes have changed an assumes it is unauthorised so brings up the password to decrypt message. - this is a security measure. It doesn't matter that you haven't set a password up.

This method works to avoid the decrypt storage message.

I'm having this problem too.

I was using Philz touch recovery to restore my stock nandroid to see if the location issues I was having was device or CM11 specific. I got the /data message the OP posted, but did not think anything of it as I did not really care about any data as the device was virtually untouched from purchase.

I am not able to boot into fastboot or recovery. Adb does not see the device. When I boot it connected to my PC via usb I can see this for a short period before the window closes on it's own.

Device is Verizon branded

[UPDATE]A friend pointed out that if you use the stock "Close apps and reboot" option it is a slower boot. Once you select that hold power and volume down and you can get into fastboot. From there I was able to get into recovery and reflash CM11. Can not get my stock nandroid to work though.

Hey,

does someone knows an alternative to swipeselection for android and with german keyboard layout???

also for thisr how dont know, swipeselection is a cydia tweak for ios devives, it allows to move the cursor over swiping with one finger over the keyboard, if u swipe right the cursor goes right if left tgen left.

this tweak is good when you misstype and u dont want to tip the position where u want the cursor should be!!

ive loaded swipeselection from playsrore but i dont like it, and ive tried the app "tyype" but its also rubbish and in english, last but not least ive tried flat keyboard and its the best, but sadly it has no german layout :(

do you know any other swipe selection keyboards??

SwipeSelection Keyboard

This one looked interesting at first, but then I discovered that its layout was poor for quick typing.

tyype

This one a little bit different, it has a bottom bar for swiping but to select text rather than moving the cursor. The bar can be used to prevent accidentally pressing the capacitive button for some devices, not so useful for me.

Quick Keyboard Việt also supports swipe selection, it's good

The popular "Multiling Keyboard" handles this a bit differently, it employs an anternative way which use vol buttons for moving back and forth. The plus is supporting all languages.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbassett39:
I made an account just so I could post this info for anybody interested. On my Galaxy S5, you can go into the settings for the default Samsung keyboard, and change the swipe settings from "Swiftkey Flow" (swype-style swiping) to "Cursor Control" which allows you to swipe across the keyboard to control the cursor like in the swipe selection tweak. As far as I can tell, the only functionality is to move the cursor, you can't select text like in the iOS tweak. It's not as smooth, but it at least allows you to still maintain all the functionality of the default keyboard while adding an ability to move the cursor.

This feature may only be available on the Galaxy S5, I'm not sure if it's available on the SwiftKey keyboard (which the samsung keyboard is based on).
