[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Download and install build 12. But maybe some versions have problems, I did not use that ROM. You can read its thread, and see comments. Maybe if you want just kernel, you can download version 12, get boot.img from its ZIP and install it with Universal kernel flasher.

What is FM? Radio? CM based ROMs does not have FM radio, you need to install Spirit FM.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
You must setup Spitit FM, there is no other way to have FM radio on any CM based ROM.

Settings:

For home screens, you must have some icon or widget on every screen. So put some on the one you have, and add icon. Transfer icon to left or right - and you will get it. Or simply install NOVA or APEX launcher.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xAjCx:
From my experience with Sony's charging dock on the Tablet Z, I found that it charged quite slowly as compared to a usb connected charge. I would see an overnight charge which is roughly 8 hours to only charge 30% to 85% whereas a direct usb charge would give a full charge within an hour and a half. Just wondering cause I've ordered the Z2 and hoped that the dock wouldn't be such a bad experience cause I don't want to bother with the flaps unless I have to.

The magnetic charging port is definitely slower but mine still charges in a few hours on the dock next to my bed(not sure how many amps the wall adapter is). In my car it seems about the same off the 2 amp charger(so I assume the other is only 1-1.5 amp) with much heavier drain(bright screen, BT streaming, navigation, etc.).

I'm using KANG SOKP 4.4.2 rom on my GS3 and I'm unable to update my xposed installer (version 2.5.1 to 2.6.1), nor any module installed using xposed. Every time I try and download an update, it says there is already a package with the same name with a conflicting signature, and the installation fails. I'd like to avoid having to completely remove xposed and reinstall as a user app.

I tried to remove it using Ti Backup, rebooted and wiped cache/davlik, but it still gives me the same thing. I tried to install from the latest.apk and it still says "current version 2.5.1/new version 2.6.1" despite previous removal and installation fails as usual.

Thought I would post up a review of my case, tempered glass, and skinit cover. I could not find a case that I liked, so I created my own using this Supcase: http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-All-N...id=1401306764&sr=8-2&keywords=htc+one+m8+case

I then found a picture online that I wanted on the case and went to http://www.skinit.com/customizer-v2 and chose the M8.

I also applied a tempered glass protector. Yes I know we have Gorilla glass, but I wanted more. So I got this: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-All-...sim_cps_7?ie=UTF8&refRID=1ZE4S1BCHHMB7HR6WZ1J

After having everything installed since 4/17/14, everything has held up nicely. I have dropped my phone, but on carpet. No really bad drops on concrete or hard surfaces. Skinit sticker shows no wear. The case feels secure in hand and not near as slippery as the phone. The tempered glass shows no wear or scratches. My only problem with the tempered glass is finger smudges. But a simple run across a tshirt does the trick to keep it clean. I am happy with going this route. When I decide to change the look, I just have to order another custom skinit.com sticker! No need to buy another case!

The case installed. Yes the top of the case doesn't fit flush, but it doesn't bother me.

Soooooo,

for years I have spent hours and hours every time I got a new android, reading up on the tips and tricks, root methods etc. and in those years I have managed to brick the **** out of a few ( all ) of those devices. but through xda I was always able to get them back.

well, today isn't one of those days. I got a new M8 last week. and in the span of a few hours I have managed to render it dead I think.

I initially installed the temp root, I don't have my notes with me....

then I installed SU

then I installed twrp

everything was going fine, until somehow I deleted my OS without having a back up recovery.

thennnn, somehow I managed to relock the device.

adb will not find the device, fast root isn't allowed to write to any partitions.

im completely and utterly hosed. right now I don't even have twrp installed, it just boots into fastboot over and over.

ive managed to get s-on back on it and well.....its not been a good day.

id really love to see what you guys think. at this point id try anything, but I feel like with me not able to install a rom because its locked, and not able to unlock it because I don't have an OS, I dunno what to do.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:

adb push rom.zip /sdcard

Use recovery to flash ROM
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Don't panic as long as you can use fastboot, there is always a way to get things back. As said first and foremost you need to unlock the boot loader. You will need the original unlock.bin file then just use the instructions on htcdev to apply the unlock.

Get a custom recovery on there or boot into one.

From there you could try and restore the system partition from a stock nandroid in the stock backup thread.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustin78:
thanks for the help. I knew I could count on you guys.

heres the main issue with your suggestions. both depend on the htcdev unlock. I tried that first thing when I decided to root. Verizon does not allow their m8 to be unlocked using that method. it always fails. so I will need another way to unlock ;( if I can get past that I feel pretty sure I can get it back together.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noideafornick:
So I'm not sure if it would work for other devices, but somehow it helped to fix mine so it is worth tryin'. I do not really know why does it work, but it works:D Prepare yourself, that you will have to switch to custom rom, but there is nothing to be afraid of.

The solution is provided in few steps:

1. If you have your phone already rooted and unlocked BL, you can skip to point 4.

2. U have to unlock bootloader, whichever method You prefer: via CMD or, as I did, via newest FlashTool. There are some topics about unlocking BL on XDA, so USE SEARCH.

3. Then You have to root your phone. I don't know why, byt for my device the only method that works is using the EROOT program which, to be honest, is in my opinion the simpliest way to root the phone. For those, who didn't use the program before:

- allow unknown sources

- switch on the USB Debugging

- connect the device and turn on EROOT

- the programme is in some asian language, but there is only one, big, green button with some asian signs ant the word ROOT. Tap it.

- everything happens automatically, so when done, you should have Superuser installed on your device. You will propably need to update it, do it simply via Play Store.

4. Now you have to flash the rom from thisTHREAD by Ghost_kh_07

It is really smooth and stable rom, so I should congratulate excellent work to the author.

I will shorten the installation instructions:

- firstly you have to flash the stock .587 ROM. It may be any .587 rom U like, but if you haven't got it, it's provided in the thread.

- secondly, push JellyBean-V06.zip to your SD

- then you flash boot_V06.img via FlashTool ( turn off the device, enter the FASTBOOT mode (hold menu button), check Fastboot mode in Flashtool and Select kernel to Flash). The IMG file is provided inside the JellyBean-V06.zip

- Enter CWM by switching on the device ant tapping repeatedly BACK button on boot till the moment, when device turns into CWM

- install JellyBean-V06.zip from SD card

- Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache Partition, go to advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. Turn on your phone. Now You should have your battery indicator working. If You don't, I am sorry but it might be a hardware damage which usually means SERVICE or it might be something else, to which I can not help. If your indicator works, use this rom for some time to find out if it works properly. I have found the bug, wich makes my accelerometer go crazy. You can check that by using Google Maps. If the position indicator works fine, you are lucky. Mine was turning to random directions all the time, so then I had to find another solution to that. And I have found:) So If you have found any other bugs too, you can go to the next point.

6. Now you have to flash any other custom rom by using CWM method. For me, the best solution was UltimateHD posted by jader13254. The battery drain is kinda increased, but ROM gives great visual and gaming experience. The installation Instructions are provided in original thread by jader.

Now all the sensors should work properly:)

Many thanks for all developers whose work allowed me to fix my phone!

What is that thing you've changed?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emiglet:
I find it a little too fast to say that the phone is dead.

Do you know how much battery charge you had left? Because the Li-Ion batteries have a safety circuit that shuts them down when the battery voltage gets below a certain point. The battery still has some charge, but only to maintains its health for a limited amount of time, and you would have to find a shop that can "jumpstart" it. Your battery is in "safe sleep" if it shows 0,00 - 0,10V or anything like that.

Replace the USB port if the RED light doesn't light up at all, or blinks irregularly. If the phone shows the red led constantly, but doesn't want to turn on, measure your battery and charge it directly. There has to be some shop nearby that works on circuit boards, and if you ask them nicely and bring them the parts, they will surely change the port for you for a few nickels :). But that's only if you' re sure that the battery is in good condition.
