[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thisguysayswht:
So, I bought an HTC one M8 yesterday, everything on the phone works great, couldn't be happier with it. Today I decided to boot into the bootloader, just to see what it looked like, make sure I was s-on, etc. Phones locked, s-on, no flags or anything. Cool I say, let's see what the stock recovery looks like. I try to boot into the recovery, it shows a black backlit screen for about 60 seconds, then it shows a phone with a red triangle with an explanation point in the center. I cannot do anything from here, try to hard reboot it, hold down the power button for 45 seconds, nothing. So I just let it sit there, after about 5min it reboots, I have recreated the above steps three times, same results. Once again I have done absolutely nothing to this phone, it is in an out of the box state, still has the stock wallpaper lol. I searched the forum and couldn't find anything related. I'm starting to think that it was not properly flashed from the factory, or it is a referb, and they never properly restored it. I'm new to HTC am I missing something? Are there some special steps to get to the stock recovery? Anyone experienced this?

:confused:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] csstamatin:
That is stock recovery. U have to wait 30 seconds or so and then press a 2 buttons at the same time. Not sure witch ones, I just press all 3. Try it a few times and the menu should pop up. I've had to do this on several phones of different makes so it's not new.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thisguysayswht:
OK, I'm used to nexus devices. So your telling me the bootloader menu is the recovery? I mean there's an option to factory data reset, but when I select the "recovery" option it hangs as stated above. Like on a nexus you boot into fastboot, with adb reboot bootloader (or with the volume down and power, jut like the M8) then you are presented with options, one of them is "recovery" if you select it you are taken to a separate menu, or you can "adb reboot recovery" This phone seems to be set up the same way, but when I select recovery, after the hardware key combination, it hangs, no separate menu. I have tried different hardware key combinations while it is hanging, nothing you simply have to wait till it reboots. I've messed with quite a few phones, and I have never seen this.

So after the hardware key combo, when you press volume down once to highlight "recovery", then press the power button to select "recovery" our M8 just hangs then shows a phone with a red explanation point?

Just to make sure you guys know what I'm talking about, when I get to step 5 in this guide, it hangs with a red explanation point:

http://androidvibe.com/how-to-enter-your-htc-one-m8-into-recovery-mode/

I have tried rebooting to recovery via the command line with the SDK tools, same result, just hangs, then reboots.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] csstamatin:
No the screen with the red triangle is the recovery. Yes bootloader is still bootloader. But when u hit recovery in bootloader u see the red triangle after. That's stock recovery. Then u try the button combo.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
The official combo is power and volume up. It's kinda tricky to do though can take a few minutes
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
You have to turn off "fast boot" in Settings > Power.

Then hold Volume Down and press Power. That will get you to the bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thisguysayswht:
Thanks guys I finally got it to boot to recovery. Never had such a hard time doing something so simple. :) Sorry for being such a ditz. :p the phones fine lol, still think it's strange that it's so many steps (sketchy, time consuming steps lol) to boot to stock recovery. I've never had a phone like "this" (a flagship manufacturer device), I have always had nexus devices, (since the galaxy nexus). It's always been pretty straight forward to boot to recovery. I really appreciate your help tho, I really thought my phone is was jacked up, thanks for setting me straight.:highfive:

Thanks, but as I said I had no problem booting to the bootloader menu, just problems with booting to the stock recovery. I appreciate you help tho. :)

How do I install ring tones on the Apache.
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] Lvballer06:
drop them in the windows/rings folder.

~mike
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] emmfan:
One thing is that if you have installed an mp3 player other than the default Windows Media, then you will not be able to use mp3s for your ringtones. You can always just re-sample the wav files.
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] Lvballer06:
I have installed TCPMP and can use mp3s as ringtones.....so I dunno what ur talkin bout. :D
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] mackaby007:
Associate or Disassociate...that is the question..

I think the problem is that if you install 3rd party appl MP3 player and allow it to be associated with MP3's specifically, then Windows & phone rings will no longer automatically be associated with MP3's. This happened to me using PocketMusic, where on installation it offered to be associated with all these different formats. I thought 'Yeah Great' why not? Afterwards none of my MP3 Ringtones worked until I found this out.

So try disasociating all MP3's from your media player if you want Windows to recognise it for Ringtones. The downside is that in order to play your MP3's through your chosen MP3 player, you will have to 'File/open' (or something similiar) from within the player itself. Not a major problem, unless you like to select your MP3s through File Explorer, in which case you would have to associate your chosen file-type (MP3) from within the options menu of your 3rd party player.

Same goes for TCPMP and WMP10. If you associate .wmv or .wma in TCPMP and then usually select single tunes/vids through file explorer, then WMP10 will no longer be the default player as you associated that file type to another program!

Sorry bout the long post but It frustrated me to no end when I first got my WM device. Hope it helps.

Anyone else have issues trying to download CleanRom? I didn't have any problems downloading any of the files it took to get s-off, root, or CWM, but the CleanRom download is ridiculously slow.

EDIT: To clarify, it's not only slow...but incomplete. First attempt-Laptop(wireless):made it to 80ish MB. Second attempt-Desktop(also wireless):made it to 180ish MB. Third attempt-same machine:220ish MB. Fourth attempt-alternate desktop:still running, but doesn't appear to be moving any faster than previous attempts
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blainedead:
Fourth attempt failed at 191 MB.....guess I will try tomorrow at work, even though it doesn't seem to be my connection. Downloaded Viper in just a few minutes.

I don't know how people downloading that rom.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] blainedead:
Even at work, on the city's system, it was very slow. On the other hand, I'm gonna be here for 24 hours anyway so I wasn't in a rush. Flashed the ROM after working hours were over and liking it very well so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Unified Development] Shadowprince94:
Hi there!

I created a flashable zip file, with AROMA interface, because I was really tired of re-installing apps, when changing ROM. I looked for a fast way to install at least the apps, and find a great program: LINK. So I decided to try it out, and create my own, customizable zip.

Usage: Boot to recovery, choose the .zip file, it will open AROMA. Select the apps which you want to install, then click to install. When everything completes, reboot phone and enjoy.

Zip contains:

Benchmarking apps and tools: 3DMark, AnTuTu, CFBench, CPU-Z, GPS Status, NFC Tools, OpenGL3 Tester, Phone Tester, Quadrant Standard, Wifi Analyzer

Social apps: Ask.FM, Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger

Useful apps: Adobe Reader, Airdroid, Battery Doctor, Chrome, Clean Master, CM Security, Dropbox, Firefox, MXPlayer, Quickoffice, Skype, Sleepbot, Speedtest.net, TeamViewer, UTorrent, Viber, VLC, Samsung WatchON

System apps: ES File Explorer, SLauncher, SuperSU

Warning: Tested on GT-I9505, may work on other S4 versions. Use it on your own risk!​

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Green Wenonah:
Argh...

I started with a rooted S4 SGH-I337 running 4.3. Was eating batteries with AT&T's OTA push failing every day so I decided to flash a new 4.2.2 ROM using "For MK2 Base Users (never took NB1 OTA)" instructions

Here

. After the reboot, the "Samsung Custom" splash stayed on for an hour until I rebooted manually. Now it remains stuck in the splash screen unless I boot into download mode.

I've tried flashing a new ROM and partition using

these instructions

and (I337MK2_Full_Odin_Tar.tar.md5) / (SGS-I337_16GB.pit) but have not seen any difference. Here is where I'm sitting now.

Kies doesn't see the phone at all.

Download screen:

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-1337
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNAL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSC-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE Enabled

After flashing, Download screen says:

Start (224, 1440)
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : Fused : 5, Binary : 4

and Odin says:

FAIL! (Auth)

Now it goes to a triangle/Oden download screen generally without going to the Samsung splash.

I've spent days reading threads and haven't found anything that seems helpful at this point. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions or links to a thread that may help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:

If you are seeing this while flashing MK2, then you have a NB1 bootloader.

[Moto G General] d33dvb:
Cyanogenmod, my what a terrible, terrible direction you have gone. Talk about fragmentation, most devices are lagging behind stock updates? What happened to latest and greatest before the official updates?

Im so butthurt
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
I think they have just bit off more than they can chew. By constantly adding devices, it seems the quality is going down dramatically and it is harder to keep all the devices up to date.
[Moto G General] blcistheking:
You think you have it bad? Just imagine how the people that wasted $600 dollars on the cyanogenmod version of the Oppo N1 feel. $600 for a phone that was suppose to be supported by cm and receive updates in a timely fashion, which is still stuck on 10.2 jellybean for its last stable release. And these guys claim they're going to be able to update the one plus one for two years? Ha, we'll see.
[Moto G General] dethrat:
If any of you actually read the cm blog you'd know the reason.

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-11-0-m6-release
[Moto G General] fermasia:
That doesn't explain what's been stated here. Right or wrong, people here are saying dev is slow and buggy, and sometimes it doesn't exist. That's the case of Moto G CM11. Never saw a CM build so buggy after 6 months of developement.

Is Cyanogen obliged to provide us with fast, stable and beautiful builds? Of course not.

Is it true that when Cyanogen was "mod" and not "Inc" things where much better for the open source community, since they are now too busy keeping up with their first phone (retailing of the OnePlus One has been delayed twice and wasn't about hardware, thought)? I think the answer is yes.

Enviado desde mi XT1032 mediante Tapatalk
[Moto G General] dethrat:
I'm not disagreeing with you. The People who are expecting builds labeled as stable are gonna be waiting for a long time.

A lot of the opens source community dispersed, moved to omnirom and/or other projects.
[Moto G General] fermasia:
Omnirom guys began as they moved away from the project when it became a profit company, that's true. But that's not the problem, actually, some guys from other pojects left open source and joined Cyanogen Inc. The problem is much more simple: things work differently when your goal is to make money. It's not a felony, course, but it's a "sin" in terms of opensource spirit, and now we are seen it's tangible results.

CM has lost it's soul, it's original purpose, so now things are being rushed and pushed, and the guys working on it's non-profitable branches, even when they are doing their best (and I do thank them for sharing they work with us in exchange of nothing... except for the private information that now CM collects from every user), it's not the same as it was before. Put the label you want on their builds... stable, M1, XGKT512, it doesn't matter, the result is slow, buggy and unstable, if you compare to what CM was until it's 10.2 version.
[Moto G General] soshial:
Maybe it would be great do have info about known issues updated: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Known_Issues_page_for_falcon?setlang=en-gb. And less disappointment would arise.
[Moto G General] DustArma:
You do realize that updates depend on the device maintainer, and if there isn't any then we won't get updates?
[Moto G General] saintckk:
That's the reason why when I got my current XT1033, I don't bothered to root and install custom roms! With Motorola still timely updating their software, that's no reason for custom roms. My previous phone Sony X8, I rooted and install various CM based roms, In my opinion, new functions/features were introduced for the sake of adding a long list of features in that roms without considering the stability and functionality issue, while at the same time more and more bugs were introduced. Many times the phone just don't worked when its matter most! Real frustrated but you can't complain because all are worked on their own freewill basis.
[Moto G General] lmacmil:
I have installed CM 10.2.1 on two Nooks because the Nook software, based on 4.0.4, is crap, IMO. I also have a 2013 Nexus 7 and my wife has a Moto X. I wouldn't dream of putting CM on either of those devices. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. YMMV.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AplusJ:
So today I think I messed up pretty bad.

I was installing the Carbon Rom via fastboot and after, I went to delete the cache and userdata.

Now, I didn't notice anything strange, I was at home and on wifi. Until' I tired texting a friend. I noticed that nothing was showing up. No IMEI, no number, no baseband!

I was planning on running a data recovery tool on the / area whenever I next can, but if I can't get the EFS back, what would be the next course of action?

Flash stock and send it back to Google to get fixed?

Also, what is the exact location of the EFS directory on the nexus 5's?

Someone offer me some guidance, I feel so lost!

Thanks, Alex. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
First, how did you flash carbon in fastboot?

Second, there is no efs folder it's a partition

Try flashing the cache.img in fastboot
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AplusJ:
I have restored it to stock, and it's all fine. But stock sucks.

And I mean in recovery.img, clockwork touch.

The problem lies within the radio.img, as that is the thing stopping the baseband coming.

Will try reflashing Carbon and then putting the stock radio.img onto it. :silly:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You could have just flashed the cache.img on fastboot and would have solved your problem without losing your custom Rom or data. Something to remember if it happens again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pelicantacos:
Ok, I'm just ecstatic b/c I just got my Vario II unlocked! I did have to pay for it but I believe anyone can do it (I'm in the US and it was just horrible when I got the Vario 2 and it was locked to the T-mobile UK when I us T-mobile US and they weren't compatible--but this process worked and should work to unlock it to all GSM networks).

Well here's what I did --I bought the unlock code (38 USD) from www.gsmliberty.com and then downloaded the unlocking program from www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php I followed the instructions for the "imei-check" page with the unlock code from the gsmliberty page (b/c they didn't have the proper unlocking program, but "imei-check" did). So I had to do it a few times, but if you remove your microSD and even the "spacer" it should work. (I tried it once and it didn't work; I reset the device then removed the "plastic microSD spacer" and then it worked--I'm not sure if that was the problem or not--we are just in the beginning stages of this development.)

Ok, so if you do it PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE download the USB monitoring programs as it seems the developers are in need of the code you can retrieve from the usb reads. Save the log files and let us know when you get them.

The first usb monitoring program is from http://www.hhdsoftware.com/Products/home/usb-monitor.html and download the trial. The second is from http://www.sourcequest.com/template.jsp;jsessionid=EDF03FE41E63246BF3446E94D94ABE03?PAGE_ID=homeTry and you can download the trial there too.

Please help the developers to figure out why this worked. Everyone's effort is needed!

If you need any other info from me, let me know and I'll do my best to help out with this endeavor.

[It's a bummer b/c I had been monitoring all my USB activity with the USB Monitor and then the SourceQuest one as well, but I kept having to restart and reset my device and thought I wouldn't have any luck, so the last time I did it, I didn't run those programs, and of course that's the time it work--wouldn't you know.]
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] battletank:
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but you paid money to this company who appear to be providing codes for IMEI-Check's technology either legitimately, or, more likely, fraudulently. You then ask everyone else to spend money with this same company, and even ask them to help reverse engineer the original technology which IMEI-Check have spent time and money developing?

So, would it be fair to assume you work for GSM Liberty?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] zoidster:
EH ? I don't get it ?

Why not just pay the $38 straight to IMEI-check and be done with it ?

Aside from the moral issue - I could understand (or at least see the point ) if the other company were selling codes for a lower price - but to suggest people pay the same amount to a third party company for the same code to use with IMEI check's unlocker is wierd , to say the least !

OR am I missing something ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pelicantacos:
I'm not a spy.

I do apologize. I didn't realize that IMEI-check was working for the Vario 2, so when I found out that the gsmliberty unlocking was working I thought I'd tell everybody. (Originally IMEI-check wasn't able to unlock the Vario 2--there was reported problems on the other forums.)

So I looked for another option. And of course after you guys wrote, I see IMEI-check can unlock it, so I didn't mean any harm or immoral action--just development of the unlcoking software for the xda developers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] se4me:

I mean,the device should run "/data/local/tmp/exploit.sh" ,but it didn't.

I've tried toggle bluetooth,wifi etc. still nothing happened.

I'm sure I didn't miss the "chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/exploit.sh" part.

did I miss something or the uevent_helper trick just dosen't work in Android 4.4.2 ?
