Okay, forgive me for being dim...

I have never rooted this particular phone but have rooted devices in the past. I currently am on JSS15J.I535VRUCNC1... assuming this means that I took the OTA update that makes rooting more difficult. I see the link to wolfdroid above which has a guide which I guess would apply to me?? The only problem is that my understanding is I have to get to ML1 BEFORE rooting and in the linked guide it says to root with saferoot THEN "flash back NC1 kernel". I'm confused. I tried rooting with saferoot yesterday but it failed (error message: "Kernel is patched").

I have done some pretty hardcore googling but I can't seem to find a guide that gives me any confidence... is it root with saferoot first then use odin to flash the kernel back to ML1?

Thanks!

Steal your work?!!! :confused:

What is your work?!!!

Give me a link about that work ... :confused:

If I should give a credit, it should be ofcourse for [MENTION=3940199]k1mu[/MENTION] for sferoot tool and for me for my previous tutorial for I9300 here look at the date please

+ if I steal your work, just post the link and if you was true, and I will be really sorry for that

WAITING YOUR ANSWER

If you mean

I just would like to ask you, what is the relation between what you post and my guide?!!! :confused:

Is it possible no one stole the idea from anyone? It would be believable that you both came up with the same idae around the same time. Shouldn't we be happy knowing people have been helped and knowledge has been expanded? Its not like you two are making bucket loads of money off this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr.W0lf:
If your phone is running on NC1 and you want to follow my guide ...

1.Flash Root kernel by odin

2.Use sferoot

Now you are done and your phone will work without any problem

but it's better to flash NC1 kernel after rooting

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
As of this moment, I believe you will have wifi issues when you use a custom VRUCML1 rom because there are no VRUCNC1 kernel modules. All that I have seen posted are VRUCML1 kernel modules which only enable wifi on VRUCML1.

Ok I am a veteran rooter. Been rooting phones for years now. Seems like rooting is getting harder and harder. OK here's my problem:

My wife has a S3, with unlocked bootloader, rooted, custom rom, the whole nine yards. Started having some hardware issues so she called Verizon and they shipped her a new S3. Got it today. Problem....its NC1!!! After searching....and searching...i end up here. So i follow instructions and get stuck at the "saferoot .bat" when I run the batch file, it goes through everything but does not install su and phone remains unrooted.

What have I done wrong? Yes i installed drivers....yes i flashed I535_ROOT KERNEL using Odin....yes usb debug....

Please help me. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
I

Haven't used saferoot. I'd try the new method towelroot. I'm on an unlocked bootloader myself.

You can always try the other method which is to Odin back to ML1 which has been confirmed as working and then run saferoot. Stupid me forgot saferoot doesn't work on the NC1 baseband

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mjlewis0102:
Thanks for that. I now have her rooted. simple enough. Last question.Main reason for her to have root is because i usually install a custom ROM with Hotspot enabled. I can probably search some more but its late and i been working on this for a few hours now.

It is my understanding that NC1 cant be safestrapped and/or there are no NC1 ROMs available? Also if that's the case is there a Hotspot hack I can use without getting the whole custom ROM? Thanks again!

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] brianray14:
Much to my surprise, this thread has gotten off to a rocky start so I'll kick it off with some questions of my own.

In order to unlock the bootloader for the M8 on AT&T, there is no other way that I've found where HTCDEV can be circumvented. For those that have used HTCDEV to unlock, why were you content with giving HTC your devices information? Are you not concerned about warranty issues down the road? As user redpoint73 pointed out in a similar thread, AT&T has a history of not caring whether your device is unlocked, s-offed, modded etc, but in 6-8 months down the road when AT&T might not have an M8 in the store to replace yours and you have to deal with HTC, then what?

Please post your opinions as to why or why you haven't unlocked\rooted\s-offed\supercided, experiences in the past that relate to warranty (as in within the first year you have dealt with AT&T with regards to factory warranty or you had to deal directly with HTC), or if you have managed to unlock without throwing your warranty down the stairs and what method that was.

pls discuss
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
redpoint73. I'm not as old as you think I am! ;)

Unless its within the first 14 days of purchase (where you can exchange in store for a brand new phone) warranty returns are dealt with through the mail, and you will get a refurb, not a new phone. Alternately you can go to an AT&T Device Service Center, if you happen to have one nearby.

The chances of them running out of refurb units is relatively low, although it does happen. But then you just get backordered until they are back in stock. The extreme case is that they no longer offer refurbs (when the device is EOL), in which case AT&T will offer you a comparable available device, or possibly even a newer device, and let you pay the difference in price.

I don't believe at any time will they force you to go through HTC. At least, I haven't heard of that happening.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Here are a couple (and the answers will help with my Index thread):

1) After unlocking the bootloader, how have most folks rooted (aside from toolkits, which I am not a fan of)?

I just installed custom recovery and flashed a custom ROM, as the custom ROM was my goal for unlocking the bootloader, anyway. But I know that some folks just want to stay on the stock ROM, and root it. In the past, the method I have seen to do this is flash an SU or SuperSU file. Is there a concensus place to get this from?

Or just download SuperSU or SU from the Play Store?

2) Which recovery to use?

I'm using TWRP, but CWM is confirmed to work on the AT&T variant?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] brianray14:
I can't speak on unlocking bootloader yet (still kinda weirded out by doing it through HTC) or recoveries but after searching extensively, reading posts and watching youtube vids, http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip?retrieve_file=1 is where i found the latest superSU to flash

For Philz touch, this link http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/m8 has latest for the M8 however, we'll need someone to confirm whether it works for AT&T or it's international version

Found latest TWRP recovery here http://techerrata.com/get/twrp2/m8/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8.img

Philz Touch does work on At&t as I am currently using it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I highly recommend using Titanium Backup, and paying the few dollars for the "Pro" key which has the batch backup/restore functions. Using Titanium, I can do all the backups (nandroid and TB of apps), flash a ROM, and be back up and running (TB to batch restore apps and app data; but then just manually redo home screen widgets and settings) in less than half an hour. And that is probably a generous estimate, and can probably finish quicker if I really wanted to.

Whether its "worth it" or not to flash ROMs depends on what functions you want, and your own personal preferences. As you probably know, there is a huge range of variety in custom ROMs, from "stockish (just debloated and optimized); ones loaded with various customizations and mods; to GPE or AOSP based ROMs. The added features possible with custom ROMs is almost too much to name, but just a sampling:

- Xposed Framework (which allows the installation of a huge number of customizations and tweaks)

- Overclocking/underclocking or governor options

- Different themes to aesthetically change the look of the OS

- Audio mods such as enabling Harmon Kardon, or the Viper sound mod

True, the stock ROM for the most part works just fine, for the most part. But personally, I couldn't stand all the bloat, disabled WiFi hotspot, and AT&T network icons. True, most or all of this can be changed piece by piece with root. But I just flashed a custom ROM and did it in less steps.

Although not for everyone, some people will find that flashing ROMs is inherently fun, even addictive. Personally I'm enjoying the "stockish" custom ROM I'm on. But I still find myself checking out some of the more feature packed and customizable ROMs, just for the heck of it.

As far as suggesting custom ROMs, unfortunately I'm going to have to go with the "typical" response of not playing favorites with the ROMs. I find it rather insulting to the hard working developers to name one over another; as recommending one suggests the others are somehow inferior. As you already mentioned, its highly subjective to personal tastes. I wouldn't presume to pick a ROM for you, anymore than I would pick what color shirt you should wear tomorrow. Honestly, all the ROMs I've tried are awesome in one way or another, and I don't see any reason not to think the same about the ones I haven't tried.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] brianray14:
Thanks for relocating this to its proper place and I apologize for potentially cluttering your index thread.

I definitely see your point on not recommending one ROM over the other as it is an insult to devs who continuously put in countless hours to perfect their own recipe and selflessly make it available for all.

I've also read through quite a few of the ROMs available in the dev section and while you most certainly can read about features and the changelogs, determining whether it will perform responsively and fluidly is a totally different scenario that only flashing the ROM for yourself will provide an answer. I think a lot of ppl asking about which ROMs to flash mainly have that single question in mind when asking that question. Others might be just flat out lazy but that's another topic.

Titanium backup pro is absolutely worth its weight in gold when a user has determined that flashing is fun and addictive as it saves a great deal of time. I personally use ROM toolbox as it's much more user friendly and offers a wider range of functions but again, it's all about personal preference and what you're already accustomed to using.

Since I started flashing ROMs back in 2010, I probably have been through the process at least 80 times and with each clean flash, never have I had my device up and running EXACTLY the way I want in less than an hour unless of course I dirty flashed and this was using as much automation as possible. Perhaps I'm just anal and like things just so.

Also within that time, I can't tell you how many times I flashed a ROM only to find that A) it runs subpar, B) it has an annoying glitch not reported, C) it grinds to a halt due to mem leaks, D) random reboots (but naturally only when I needed the phone to function correctly and\or D) the reason I flashed it in the first place were some features listed only to find that they are only working somewhat and it wasn't listed as semi working.

Yes, custom ROMs are highly subjective and even function differently across the same exact devices but there are definitely unforeseeable factors that either are not listed in the OP or within the Q&A which have lead to me wasting countless hours either troubleshooting errors at crucial times or just simply getting the phone set up to my standards for daily usage only to find the last ROM I was on functioned way better.

Sorry for the wall of text but I've reached a point where I'm quite happy running a bug free ROM that just works whether it's stock or otherwise. I'm sure I'll get bored as the months go by and want to switch it up but there will have to be a solid reason for me to do so.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yes, everyone is different. I've seen one XDA user claim it takes him 6 or 7 hours to get his phone flashed and configured the way he wants it, which is just plain insane! Of course, if it were this way for me, I surely would not flash many ROMs at all (if any)!

There are some variables I can see at play, like if you connect to a lot of WiFi networks and/or Bluetooth devices (although I think Titanium can also restore these - but I don't use it for that). Or have lots of home screen panels and widgets. I do run a fairly simple setup: 3 home screen panels, only one WiFi network, a couple Bluetooth devices, then just change a few things in Settings, like ringtone and notification tone.

Sorry you've had such a negative experience flashing ROMs. Honestly, I've flashed a couple now for this device, and haven't found much to not like. And I did my fair share of ROM flashing on the One X (EVITA) and didn't run into too many bugs like you mentioned. Could be that I tend to stock to custom ROMs that are based on the stock Sense ROMs, just debloated, and with some minimal optimizations and features.

I can see bugs on a cutting edge type ROM, like when a new android version is ported to a device. But if you choose mature ROMs by seasoned developers, its my opinion you are not going to encounter many issues.

I will agree the stock ROM is quite good. But I couldn't stand the stock AT&T ROM in particular. The ROM I am on is very close to stock "international" ROM.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] brianray14:
oh for heavens sake, 6 hours? That's ludicrous. Thought 2 hours was pretty bad, I'm feeling a little better now, lol.

My past experiences are all Samsung related devices/ROMs and I never opted for any based on stock touchgiz garbage as I hated it with a passion. Mind you, some of those experiences were from the eclair/gingerbread era. By the time ICS and JB rolled around, I knew who the best devs were and only selected their ROMs. That being said, invariably, annoying glitches still did persist from time to time. Very few times did I land a ROM that worked 100% error free

Hotspot question

Ive read many post of people saying that they have no hotspot or tethering capability.

I am 100% stock, att variant. My hotspot works just fine. Tethering i have not tried yet but will tonight.

Am i the only one??
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] brianray14:
Mine works fine too. Not quite sure if AT&T would tack on an extra fee for usage tho. Perhaps a custom ROM would have some mod baked in that masks it somehow. Personally, I haven't had any use for it in the past nor the present
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
If your plan includes tethering (many of the tiered plans do now, over a certain GB amount, forget what that is) then tethering and WiFi hotspot works fine. If your plan does

not

include tethering, the AT&T ROM will block you, and tell you to contact AT&T to add a tethering enabled plan. Flashing any non-AT&T base ROM (including Sense) removes this. It just removes the phone side limitations. AFAIK, there is no custom ROM or tweak that can mask tethering activities. AT&T can still determine tethering network side. But depending on your usage, you

may

still go undetected.

On one hand, one can argue that AT&T is just enforcing the policy terms. On the other hand, it can be argued that regardless of whether you are on a tiered or unlimited plan (especially now they are throttling after 5GB/month), you've paid for the data and its pretty arbitrary for AT&T to dictate how you may use your data connection. Of course, AT&T is just using this as another means to encourage folks to give up their grandfathered unlimited data plan, and make more money on tiered plans.

Flashboot erase cache - not responding

In the spirit of this thread...

New to Android....switched mid April to HTC One M8 ATT US version, from iPhone. Every iOS version I was actively jb'ing for enhanced UI and tweaks. Many times in a jam, read, research, fix. Now...want to do the same with the M8 (well, save for the fix part, but it seems I'm already there).

Early May I followed (after a couple days of reading, researching, watching several videos) Sakitech's method of rooting, doing S-Off, Nandroid backup, TWRP, adb, changed CID, fastboot (all not necessarily in that order obviously). I installed the KK 4.4.2 GPE ROM with OTA updates (following links to here from Sakitech's website). Things went smoothly, I can still power off/on and reboot to it. But now I'm wanting to either move to Viper rom or the Android Revolution HD rom. Started reading, googling, etc. a couple days ago on the process.

So...now what I'm running into is that adb devices command will recognize my M8 and shows its number. But, I can't get into recovery via any method (from ROM toolbox pro, from the power/volume down fastboot process, etc.). It always ends up with the android with red triangle when I try to get to recovery. Searching that fix....I get/found that I should use fastboot erase cache....and this is where nothing happens, it always says 'waiting on device' and nothing on the M8 changes. Searching that....instructions say to remove and reinstall drivers on my PC (Windows 7 Pro IBM laptop). But....adb does see the device.

Don't mind researching/reading/learning....but I'm in need of a push/help on what direction to go now to be able to get fastboot to work so I can get into recovery.

Thanks in advance for any and all replies!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Red triangle is stock recovery. Somehow, you reverted to stock recovery at some point.

You will need to reinstall custom recovery to flash custom ROMs, but of course you have the fastboot issue.

Does the following command get a response listing the device:

fastboot devices

I know you said adb sees the device, but want to make sure fastboot does as well.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] sttw1fa:
Thanks for the info....that helps me further understand stock recovery vs. custom recovery.

'fastboot devices' immediately returns me back to a cmd prompt. I've tried 'fastboot erase cache' and it says 'waiting on device' and never does anything.

Thanks again!
