[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwindexx:
My friend made the mistake of following a youtube video and really messed up his phone. He has TWRP installed but he's S-On and deleted his restore image. The only thing that functions on this phone is HBOOT. The bootloader was relocked, and now I can't even access recovery. I need some help here. He was trying to get a custom rom installed, but he never went S-Off. Running the RUU provided in DirtyRacun wouldn't work even though it was for the correct HBOOT version. I have no idea where to start on fixing this thing. It is running HBOOT-2.09. I am very comfortable using adb and fastboot - I use it frequently with my HTC One. This almost seems beyond repair - but I'm pretty sure it is fixable. Please help. I have access to both a Linux and a Windows machine, so a solution involving either isn't out of the question. Since recovery isn't accessable, it has to be a fix involving fastboot and adb almost exclusively.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Have you tried to unlock the bootloader again? Once you unlock you can push a recovery to the phone and then flash a ROM. Remember, since he's S-on you'll have to install the kernel separately from the ROM (or use a ROM that has a S-on kernel installer). Hit the top link in my sig for more info.

I unlocked the bootloader again and got back in to TWRP. Because I am S-On I pushed MeanBean v284 onto the phone but the installation fails every time. I've tried wiping everything, formatting the partitions again, and I can't get past this point.

EDIT: My error says:

"E-Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/MeanBean-v284-jewel-ltevo.zip'

Error flashing zip '/MeanBean-v284-jewel-ltevo.zip'

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
What version of TWRP and where did you get it?

Sent from my HTC device
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwindexx:
2.7.0.0. He said it was linked from the xda forums. Also, I am going to try the rumrunner s off that was recommended on your guide right now. I can't enable USB debugging because there is no OS on the device right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You'll need to install a ROM before you can S-off.

Also, once you get recovery working again you may find the guide in the link below useful.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwindexx:
According to the MeanBean guide, it will work S-On. I'm not sure if you have to flash the kernel seperately, and on top of that I'm not sure how to do that. I haven't been able to find specific instructions other than using fastboot with a boot.img file. I haven't tried this yet with MeanBean, but it didn't work with the Viper Rom.

EDIT: I made it to the step where you flash the ROM (further than I've gotten so far today...). It says the kernel was not installed when installing MeanBean.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Just follow the directions in the ROM thread and you'll be fine. You essentially have to flash the zip file twice. If you want further info, click the top link in my sig.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wwindexx:
After installing the second time, I am still getting the same: "ERROR: Kernel Not Installed!

Copying flashable ZIPs. to /sdcard/Meanbean

Please reboot now!

Updating partition details..."

I am gradually looking through all 949 pages to try to find a solution :eek:

EDIT 2: I tried flashing the boot.img file using fastboot as it said in your post to install the kernel. I am still getting that installation error.
[Gionee M2] sony ericssons:
So i wanna buy a smartphone ,there 2 are my choices

1, Gionee M2. http://www.gogi.in/gionee-m2-review.html

2. Micromax A114 http://www.gogi.in/micromax-canvas-a114-review.html

My major concerns are camera,sound and performance

Judging by above reviews i think i terms of camera and music gionee wins. Gionee also had better earphones

both have quad core processor of 1.3 ghz..

Micomax's free ram on 1st boot is 759 mb te Gionee's free ram on 1st boot is 441 mb.. So how much it will effect performance?

what should i do? which one should i buy?
[Gionee M2] Patel009:
Hi! I'm using Gionee M2 and it's awesome in every way. I've used many phones but this phone is great in performance, camera, music and let's say in everything.. most important is it's battery backup. Talking about RAM, it's not affecting phone's performance at all. Till yet I've not faced any lag in my phone. Also about service center it's good than that of micromax.:) so go for it and I'm sure you'll not be dissatisfied.
[Gionee M2] sony ericssons:
thanks,,.. can u tell me how much ram is free on your system now? and hows the camera quality at nigjht? yes m thinking i'll go for M2 .. amazing battery back up
[Gionee M2] Patel009:
Right now free RAM is 340 mb and really you won't regret by purchasing this phone.. if you multi task, like to play heavy games, fond of clicking pictures and shooting videos then this phone will prove to be very nice. Doesn't lag while doing all of the above activities. And clicked pics at night time is cool and very clear, it's having good flash compared to micromax. It can record videos in full HD and quality is mp4. In micromax, guess video quality will be 3gp. Gionee is giving great configurations at very decent price.

Hi, I have a interop unlocked Ativ S with windows phone 8.1 preview and I've repaired that we can't crack store applications with .appx extension, but I'm thinking that's a way to do that, if we install any appx application in the SD card and configure windows to see system files we can backup the application files that are in the SD, maybe like we do with the xaps, I will take some screenshots from my computer and put there

Aren't SD card installed apps protected from running on different phones?
[Windows Phone 8 General] aclegg2011:
Yep, they're protected.
[Windows Phone 8 General] gipfelgoas:
even if you have installed apps on sd Card and you do a hard reset, after it the phone doesn't recognizes the apps on sd card...
[Windows Phone 8 General] Basti756:
I guess those apps are signed by the OS which is running at the time when the app is installed. That would explain why apps aren't recognized after a hard reset

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiRin1:
Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone out there can help me? I have been trying to get this this Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Sgh-I537 to work on Verizon. It is right now with At&t. I was told by at&t that the phone is unlocked already. Actually according to at&t the S4's and up come unlocked. I keep getting the Sim Network Error. I was told by at&t that that means my sim is locked through Verizon. Anyone hear of that? I am not under contract and have not been for at least a year and this phone is not under contract either. Not sure if that is true. I paid to have this phone unlocked and the site told me they cannot generate a code for this phone and refunded me my money back. I want to get this phone working on Verizon due to the fact that I have the unlimited plan an cannot upgrade without paying high dollars for a phone. I bought this phone with the understanding that it will work with Verizon. Can anyone help me or give me suggestions on what to do? I have had this phone now for about a week and about ready to sell it on eBay if I cannot get it working. PLEASE any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
The i537 won't work on Verizon. Verizon is a CDMA network and this is a GSM phone. This phone will work on nearly any other network in the world except Verizon or Sprint.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanFrancisco:
Bottom line first, like the other member said, your phone is GSM based. It is IMPOSSIBLE for your GSM phone to work with Verizon because Verizon (and Sprint) use CDMA technology. (And vice versa, Verizon and Sprint phones will not work with AT&T or T-Mobile (also a GSM carrier).

Not sure HOW you bought the phone, but if someone told you that the AT&T phone would work with Verizon, they told you wrong.

You have a few options:

- You can sell the phone on eBay to someone who wants a GSM phone (if it is truly unlocked that adds value to the phone. But before advertising it as unlocked make sure it is). And use those proceeds to buy a CDMA Verizon SGS4 phone.

- You can keep the phone and switch to a GSM prepaid carrier. Straight Talk is what I use. And I am using an AT&T branded Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T Active SGH-i537. (Because I have a Straight Talk AT&T SIM card.) With Straight Talk for $45 monthly I get unlimited talk, text, and 3GB of true 4G LTE service. That's hard to beat, IMO.

Bonus Tip: Next time, notice the difference between phones. The letters that matter are "GSM" or "CDMA." If you see a phone branded AT&T ot T-Mobile, those are GSM phones. If you see a phone branded Verizon or Sprint, those are CDMA phones. Rely on that rather than what someone tells you.

Good luck.

P.S. The carriers kind of told you right. Your phone is a GSM device, but your SIM is CDMA. The easy fix, if you are not under contract with Verizon is to get a GSM SIM, such as through Straight Talk.

If you are under contract with Verizon consider switching to Straight Talk and paying the ETF penalty. This is because the savings with Straight Talk (e.g., $70 monthly off your bill) quickly pays the ETF penalty.

Pencil out the cost of your Verizon unlimited plan. Is it worth the price you are paying, over that which you would pay with a carrier like Straight Talk? If it is, then simply get a CDMA phone. Easiest way is to get an S4 that says "Verizon" on the battery cover. :good:

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

It should have taken a carrier 15 seconds ito tell you in plain English that you were using the incorrect phone.

If I was an AT&T CSR I would have had you flip the phone over and tell me what it says or what graphic it had on the battery cover. I believe Verizon phones say "VERIZON"

On hearing that I would have then tried to sell you an AT&T account. :D

Whoever sold you the phone (eBay purchase) and the carriers left you floundering on the dock like a fish out of water.:eek:

I'm trying to pull and push my build.prop file because I think I borked either the line endings and/or the access permissions on it.

However, I can only get to the Android System Recovery <3e> screen.

When I type "adb devices" nothing shows up. If I choose "apply update from ADB", I can see the device, but I guess I cannot push/pull while it's in that side load mode.

Any thoughts/suggestions on how to use ADB to fix that build.prop file?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bhodi:
So I have an interesting dilemma and would like some feedback on this.

I would like to get S-off on my verizon M8 to be able to install Xprivacy or Cm11 once its been tested a little more. Obviously I do this for control of my information and privacy.

With the Verizon M8 the only way to get S-off that I'm aware of is using weaksause and firewater.

Both of these tool are closed source. I give the developers mad props for making these tools and helping out the community but for someone like my I really have an issue with running closed source tools that are getting that deep on my phone.

I'm not a fan of using closed source tools which is why I like Cm and Xprivacy but I can understand with the phone being so new why the developers would leave these tools closed source. However I also know that there could be other reasons too.

Would waiting for a potential open source option be worth it? :confused:

Thanks for any input.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Turd Furguson:
Not worth the wait. Jcase has been doing this stuff for over 4 years.

Posting the exploit as open source can burn potential exploits in the future.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
Posting source for an exploit is like giving a police officer your plans for robbing a bank or a prison guard your map for your plan on escaping.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bhodi:
Thanks for the feedback.

I still think i'm going to hold out a little longer to see if there is a manual method that comes out but at least I know that the community supports the current methods.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] eikast:
They receive money from donations, they have no intention of harming your phone or invading your privacy. As someone mentioned, it's closed source mainly to avoid getting the exploit patched. Plus the way I see it is that open source is good for large projects that require a lot of people to contribute, something that's sole purpose is to exploit a device doesn't need any further input once it's goal is achieved.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] netboy3:
If you are still that concerned, After your'e done with S-off:

1. Flash the 1.55... OTA.

2. Fastboot flash custom recovery you build yourself from source.

3. (optional) Flash a ROM you build yourself from source.

This will get you a unit that has literally all segments either overwritten with OEM partitions or source built.

If you are downloading the OTA from XDA and are concerned about authenticity, run the OTA once before you S-off. If it was modified, its signature check will fail.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bhodi:
I really appreciate the great feedback everyone!

Since TWRP is open source I really have no issue with the recovery but your advice provided me with the info I needed.

I never even thought about flashing OTA after s-off! :highfive:

On my Droid 3, I recently flashed the Google Now zip and followed the instructions on this site. It has been working great so far.

I noticed that the zip itself matches the folder hierarchy of the phone system folders. Am I correct in understanding that if I were to replace the Velvet.apk with the newest version of Google Search (after renaming it properly) that if I flashed this new zip, it would give me the updated Google Search/Google Now?

These are the otas, right? They're not recovery files like FXZ.
[RAZR HD General] billycar11:
Yes these are the recovery files pulled from the otas some one said they needed them so i posted them.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Calling them "recovery" files is going to confuse a lot of people. Can you change it simply to OTA zips? That'll avoid confusion. And let people know that the filename represents the version they're ON now (the version the file applies TO) rather than what it's updating TO.
[RAZR HD General] billycar11:
Okay i did but these links are only to the recovery_target.img not the entire ota update.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Ohhhh, then that's my confusion then. My apologies. I thought those were the full OTA update. Yea, that should just say [RECOVERY] then instead of OTA. Sincerest apologies.
[RAZR HD General] billycar11:
No problem if you were confused others would have been too. I fixed it now so it is clear what this thread contains.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
That's perfect, thanks!

lucky, I'm on the Atrix Hd. Can't wait till we get the update.
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
I see Sam and I were thinking the same thing. That's why I asked the question I did because normally, those filenames are what was used for the OTAs and those are not recoveries, as Sam stated.

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Lokifish Marz:
AT&T S4 Zoom PSA:

The firmware for the AT&T SM-C105A is not on the Samsung server. This information regarding the now missing firmware is a result of conversations with Samsung T3 ATS and Samsung Experience Reps.

I have also been unable to locate the AT&T version of the firmware on any of the online archives as well.

As a result, if you trigger the AT&T "unauthorized software" lock you cannot restore the device. Recovery gets locked out, Odin will not flash an alternate firmware and unless a service center already has a copy of the AT&T firmware, they cannot help either.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] mumeix:
Which firmware are you speaking of? The last update I received for my c105a was 4.2.2. I check daily, however I did not think that the KitKat update had rolled out yet...
