fail to convert

Hey guys, I need a hand in converting my mobile. I just followed How to Convert Your HTC One into a Developer Edition for Super Fast Sense Updates guide and I got stuck in the last part with a huge red exclamation mark (which was cause probably by me) My AT&T phone is already S-Off, rooted, unlocked and has SuperCID. From the guide I followed this commands

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery {location-of-Stock-Recovery.img}

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Finally, I executed fastboot boot {location-of-TWRP.img}, but I rebooted normally. Then I tried to recovery manually, and then was when I got the exclamation mark. I'm trying to get Dev Ed Marshmallow.

Any ideas??

Best!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The process you are trying to follow is needlessly complicated. Since you already have s-off and SuperCID, the heavy lifting is already done. As long as you don't mind wiping the phone (backup any personal data to SD or off the phone) just run the Marshmallow RUU and be done with it. RUU download can be found at the bottom of the following: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/

This is also similar to what I posted in Post #133 of this thread.

One additional point, if you get an Error running the RUU, you may need to run the MM firmware first, then RUU. But this is a pretty minor thing, as long as I can find where the firmware is posted . . .
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hyperinho:
Thanks for your comment!!

One thing... Do you think I should install another room first since I have an InsertCoin ROM installed ??

Or I could attempt a manually system update by doing:

Note : If the ROM update wizard fails to recognize the device, close the wizard and then follow the steps below:

· From a powered off state, hold VOLUME DOWN while powering on the device.

· Use the volume buttons to scroll to FASTBOOT and then press the POWER button to select it.

· Connect the device to the PC while in this state and attempt the ROM update again.

To exit FASTBOOT manually, use the volume keys to navigate to REBOOT and press the POWER button to select it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
The part of my post your quoted has nothing to do with the ROM. Firmware is separate from the ROM, its a firmware.zip that contains hboot, radio etc.

It doesn't matter what ROM you are on when you RUU.

If you get Error 155 when running the RUU, flash the firmware.zip from here (following the link, choose the one labelled "Firmware only" not the OTA): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64407841&postcount=2862

Procedure for flashing firmware.zip:

1. fastboot oem rebootRUU

2. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip(run it twice if you see an error message)

3. fastboot reboot-bootloader

Then run the RUU again.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
A Marshmallow specific (6.12.1540) guide to convert was just posted in the "international" forum.

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/guide-htc-one-m8-to-developer-edition-t3331854

Pretty much along the lines of what I've described in my last few posts; but the author of the guide included some nice detail.

Note, that for the AT&T version, you do not need to do anything with the MID, as its already the same MID as the Dev Ed. You just need to change CID.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hyperinho:
Any idea what I could do if the RUU got stuck in 0% in the progress bar for like 30 mins? :S
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Stuck at Sending 0% right? This is a common issue. Just disconnect the phone or kill the process, and start over again. Its a bit scary, as it tells you not to do that, but since it stuck forever; there isn't anything else you can do. It will probably run fine on the next attempt.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hyperinho:
Got an Error 155, so I flashed the firmware as you told me before.... but now it's stuck in 14%. I'll wait for half an hour. If nothing happens ¿Should I try again?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Its all you can do, really.

If it keep hanging like this, you may try another PC. Win7 and USB 2.0 for the best compatibility with RUU (RUU can be finicky).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] hyperinho:
Win7 and USB 2.0 for win! Thx bro! After all this effort it works like a charm. best!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidquick:
looking to go completely wireless with a hard drive for the note pro for movies, music, ebooks, etc. i bought a toshiba 500gb porta-harddrive (UNpowered) and a usb2 otg cable... but its not quite working because the drive doesn't pull enough power to run (it just sits there ticking). when i plug the drive into a powered usb hub and the hub into the otg, it works fine; but then i'm still tethered by the hub power cord.

anyone have a completely wireless setup that works and care to share what equipment they're using? i'm thinking a usb3 otg cable might do the trick, but haven't been able to find one locally, and want to be certain before dealing with the shipping hassle.

thanks,

I have a Seagate GoFlex 1Tb hdd. I formated it exfat and it works fine with a mocro-USB 2.0 otg cable or with a new micro-USB 3.0 org cable. The NotePro has no problem powering it with either cable.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidquick:
thanks for the response. two things:

1) can you look at the fcc sticker on the hard drive and tell me what the power draw is? it should say something like 5V+- XXX mA. i'm curious about how many amps it pulls. i think the problem with mine is that it lists 1000mA, which exceeds both usb2 (500mA) and usb3 (900mA) specs.

2) is your tablet rooted? not sure it matters, but i'm reading mixed opinions on the matter in the fora, and it might be a factor.

i've also formatted exfat and that didn't seem to fix it, and it works fine attached to a powered hub, so it looks like its a power issue.

thanks,

-lq
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidquick:
yes, but usb3 allows for more power to be drawn then usb2 according to the specs. turns out not enough for the hard drive either way unfortunately so the battery might be the way to go. would need a 'y' cable though since there is no power input for the hard drive.

now i'm thinking of just getting one of those hard drive/battery/wi-fi hotspot combos that seagate or corsair makes.

thanks

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidquick:
thanks for the links. by 'external power' i'm assuming you mean wired? not exactly what i'm looking for, though i have a wired hub that works... i'm just trying to find a completely wireless solution for when i go camping, etc.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REHolt218:
1. Power draw is not listed on my HDD. The part number is 9ZF2N5-501 1 TB if that helps. The only connector is theUSB 3 connector, no seperate power input.

2. No, my NotePro is not Rooted.

My two setups

Seagate wireless plus 1Tb

As long as the battery of the hdd has enough power to maintain its wifi service this is the absolutely no wires solution. Easy to operate but slow in terms of data transfer. Fast enough to watch Hd-video though.

Hebron connector

EasyACC powerpack 10000mA

Toshiba STOR.E basic 500gb ext. USB hdd

In this setup there are cables.

Powerpack to connectorä

Hdd to connector

Connector to Note

Advantage of this setup is that I can read sd Card, connect USB stick, mouse,

And it's still just a little more than a handful of equipment. The Weight is not worth talking about
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidquick:
thats exactly what i was planning on using it for. i've never been able to stream anything via wifi to the tablet (netflix is okay, i mean from my local drives), though, as it always buffers and stutters making video playback unwatchable. probably just my home network, but for almost 200$, i'm a little gunshy about this option.

will try this. cables connecting the devices i don't mind... i just don't want to be tied to a wall outlet. especially if there are no walls available. :cyclops: i went with the 16000 easyacc for $50, and the 9pin usb otg y cable for $9; so that setup is much cheaper then the wifi/harddrive/battery device.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidquick:
final outcome

thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions.

so i ended up getting a power pack, and an otg y-cable to hook up to the hard drive. i actually bought two otg cables, one usb3 9pin and a usb2 5pin. the usb2 had a micro female connector for the power, while the usb3 had a standard male connector.

the usb3 otg didn't work. plugged the power pack in, plugged the harddrive in, plugged it into the tablet.... nothing.

the usb2 otg did work, luckily the power pack had a male-female adapter. tablet recognized the hard drive was present, but said it was blank, and es file explorer popped up a warning that otg only supported fat32 (hard drive was originally exfat). so after reformatting to fat32, everything seems to work well enough.

i don't know why the usb3 cable doesn't work, it may just be a dud but i have nothing else to test it with. all in all, an annoying and frustrating experience getting this to work. i don't see why anyone actually thinks these sorts of tablets are going to become laptop replacements when basic functionality requires so much teeth pulling.

so it goes,

Power, VOL up and home button, (blue little letters on far top left) and next screen says CF Root with red android and reboots in 10 seconds. Tried Chainfire’s rooting method step by step but still no root acquired. Phone doesn’t give me the RECOVERY MODE option any more. Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated.

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViKtory36:
Ok, so the moto E classifies its internal memory as sdcard0 and an added sdcard as sdcard1 on root/storage.

My problem is the phone simply never uses my sdcard to store anything. I cannot place obb files on sdcard1/Android/obb for the games to work, and they work when I place em on sdcard0.

I'm running out of space on internal memory. Is there any way I can get the phone to make my phone to recognize the sdcard and prioritize it to install apps and such?

It's a non rooted xt1022. I am willing to root it if it fixes the problem.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnabJ:
Kitkat limits the use of External Sd Cards.

You can only move game apk to sd card also those natively suppprt this.

You may keep songs, videos, apk files etc in external card.

Game data needs to be in internal sd card only.

Yup, you can root and use folder mount, link2sd and other such apps to use external sd card to store app data in obb folder.

Also it is not the question of recognition.

That's how it meant to be.

Sd card is like external drive for storage only.

It can't be used as main memory without root as of now.

If Motorola adds full External Sd Card support in New firmware then thats a different thing.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] whatllitbenext:
To the Community --

I recently updated to KK and started having the following problem: going to Settings > Device causes the device to freeze.

In addition, pushing and holding the power button to power off and then the prompt "Device will shut down. Cancel? Ok?" causes the tab to freeze.

All I could do was push and hold the power button for 10 seconds to reset. I wound up having to do this many times and finally broke down and called Samsung. They walked me through a device wipe/reset.

Seemed to help. Had a couple of hiccups but overall much better.

Well I just decided to root and install a rom and now the problem is back. My guess is it's a KK thing.

Anyone else having this problem? More importantly, anybody have a fix?

Thanks in advance!

Why everything stock? Isn't it enough to revert those things protected by the security flag back to stock? (e.g. radio) One can have a custom ROM, recovery and unlocked bootloader staying S-ON, the phone is fine with that, so why should it be important to revert those things to stock?

Yes, there is no way that HTC will not know that you have messed with the phone. You don't need s-on for ota updates, in fact, if you are s-off, you don't even need to lock your boot loader. Anyways, you can just dl ota updates just as easy.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
You enter fastboot mode on the phone from the bootloader and connect to a pc to execute commands. The RUU file is an official stock firmware file which will return your device to stock.
