[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SF-Echo18:
My HTC One M8 (Verizon) is seemingly bricked. My phone is rooted, S-Off, with the stock ROM. I have been trying to update to the latest OTA update by returning to stock. I had previously modified some entries in the Build.prop and Platform.xml. I knew those had to be default in order for the OTA to work. I had copied the original files and pasted them to my SD Card so that I could simply cut the modified versions, paste them to my SD Card, and cut the originals from my SD Card and put them in their corresponding system folders.

Upon a reboot something apparently went horribly wrong because all my phone does now is boot with the white screen and green HTC Logo, then the screen goes black. I have tried the typical Power Button + Volume Down but it won't enter the boot loader. The good news is that the USB port seems to still work for my windows computer recognizes a device connecting to it but it doesn't show up as an interactive device in windows explorer..if that makes sense.

Please Help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
When you connect it to the PC can you pick up the device with adb? If so, have you tried to run the command from adb to boot it into bootloader? adb devices ... if found, adb reboot bootloader

:fingers-crossed:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SF-Echo18:
I'm not too familiar with ADB commands but I typed in "adb reboot recovery" and it said: "error: device not found" so even if my command was wrong it's still not detecting it. I also tried: "fastboot reboot bootloader" and it just says "waiting for device"

Also I feel like it's worth mentioning the phone is automatically rebooting every two minutes or so (haven't timed it exactly but it's a while). Still showing the green HTC Logo then the screen goes dim, then the screen turns off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Try holding volume UP + Power button, this simulates a "battery pull", just hold it in for a while it can take a while to "pull", when it's off try again booting into bootloader, volume DOWN + Power button.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SF-Echo18:
I held Volume Up + Power Button and it showed the white screen with the green HTC logo. I then released all buttons. Once the screen turned off I then held Volume Down + Power Button for two minutes straight and nothing happened.

Even though we haven't found a solution yet, I am appreciative of the help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
sounds like you never installed the htc drivers for your phone, hence your pc doesn't see the phone when you are doing ADB commands.

install the drivers for it, then try the ADB commands via your pc

and dont mess with the build prop or other system files unless you have a working back up and are 101% certain about what you are doing..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Just remember to change directory in command prompt to the folder where adb.exe is located.

I don't know why the device doesn't reboot into bootloader though when you hold volume down + power button, shouldn't have to hold it for 2minutes. Holding volume up + power button to simulate a "pull" should only take up to 20 seconds or so at most and pressing volume down + power will then immediately take you into bootloader mode, or at least it's supposed to.

Did you release the volume up / power combo when the screen went dead or before? Try holding it until the phone shuts off and then right away press volume down + power.

Sorry if I'm not answering right away though, busy eating, and will be here and away for the next hour or so while I get ready for work =o( once I leave for work I'll only be able to help some more after like 2 hours or so. Hopefully we can do something before then though =o)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SF-Echo18:
You're right, I didn't install the drivers. I did so and ADB was able to recognize it and I was able to access the bootloader. Thank you everyone for your help. I won't be making the mistake again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
So you'll be able to fix it from here on then? I was just about to link this thread to you as well should you have gotten adb to work again, it's for the RUU for Verizon seeing as you said you're on Verizon.

But going by your response up there you might already know how to fix this issue further :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SF-Echo18:
Indeed I appreciate it, but I just finished installing the RUU ha. Hopefully this thread will be of use to someone in a similar circumstance in the future.

Share another method of getting into recovery mode on non-responsive blank screen

Hi,

I just want to share how I accessed recovery mode with the same build.prop issue but with S-ON (might work with S-Off too).

I found the solution from here:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/real-to-enter-download-mode-t2853100/page2#post62490577

To get into recovery mode on a non-responsive blank screen, hold the power button and volume up button at the same time and then approximately after 10 seconds, switch from pressing the volume up to volume down button before the HTC logo white screen shows while still holding down the power button. After, a white boot screen will give an option to go into recovery mode.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Skeet:
Hello everyone, I am trying to update my rooted vzw note 3 to 4.4 using heimdall frontend. I have everything installed and am a usual linux user but just need some assistance with heimdall. A quick 10 step tut or some pics or something would help tremendously. I have my files ready and have gotten as far as rebooting the phone into download mode but in heimdall i dont know how to load the firmware for the phone. I'm used to using odin but I understand from reading around the web that odin doesnt work in vmware so that's why I am using heimdall. Any help is appreciated.

Solved..Will write a tutorial in a couple days for anyone else needing assistance.
[HTC Sensation] hkhs10811:
From 4.0.4 to 4.4, there're always battery drain issue for the unofficial CM or AOSP rom.

Is there any solution for that ? Cause it's faster than Sense rom but battery life sucks.
[HTC Sensation] touristas0:
Well with Albinoman's 4.4.x ROMs I have better battery life but with Sultan better performance and battery is always good after 2 full charging cycles.

Have you tried apps like Greenify?
[HTC Sensation] hkhs10811:
Yeap, I've got it installed.

Another problem is that 4.4 cannot install apps on SD cards, and cannot recover data from SD cards.
[HTC Sensation] DelBoy:
Aosp roms have always worse battery life than Sense roms.

On every HTC I have tried that was the result. You could try any Aosp/CM/aokp/etc.. battery life was 30-40% worse than on Sense roms.
[HTC Sensation] TheCheshireMan:
I think the sd card problem is ROM-specific, try another ROM maybe? Try something made by another developer, have you tried sultan-xda's kitkat?

Also, I have decent battery life on CarbonROM with the right tweaks. There's a pretty nice tool built-in that gets me 2-2.5 screen on time on average, and up to 21hrs total.
[HTC Sensation] zyetonysmith:
I have solved this problem

I would like to post solution to Development http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692278&page=129 but I can't because of my new account.

It is the problem of GAPP, you can find the battery usage, Google Service Frame drains the battery a lot because it keeps staying on as long as the phone is switched on.

What I have done to it is:

1. go to directory /system/priv-app delete Velvet.apk (google search is packed in this)

2. go to /system/app GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (this step may not be required if step 1 worked)

and reboot the phone, the drain issue should be gone.

[General Questions and Answers] jaredzki:
Hello, Xda. I'm new to this forum but I have been lurking the site for a while now. Anyway, I have this Alps iPhone 5 clone. Rooted it and since I'm still kind of new to smart phones I thought deleting the default launcher wouldn't be a problem since I was using another launcher (Espier), all would be fine and dandy and wouldn't give me any problems. But then the phone just wouldn't boot up properly and it just stays at the Apple logo unless it gets connected to my pc and let the usb connection confirmation to show. I just had to disconnect again and or just press back then it would let me choose Espier as the default launcher and now without the default iPhone home launcher. This became a pain so I thought all will be good when I do a factory reset. But was I wrong. Now it would still be stuck at the boot screen and still have to connect it to my pc but now it has no launcher, I can go as far as the camera and gallery from the lock screen, get to the notifications bar if I swipe fast enough but can't really do anything but change brightness, time out, etc. I figured the phone's apps are there but there just isn't a launcher to show them to me, so I tried sending me an sms with a link for a launcher download and tried sending me the app from another phone via bluetooth but I get no signal and even if the bluetooth is on it never finds any other devices. I've been googling around for the past 2 days but haven't really gotten far since not many people have this kind of phone. Best solution I found is using adb but it just ate me up when I tried using it. Any suggestions? Help would be gladly appreciated.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] alvin_elizalde:
Good day! the defender comes with its own screen protector but is not an anti glare one, and out on a sunny day the screen is just not visible, will i have problems if i install one inside the case? will it still be an antiglare screen even if there is another screen protector over it? i dont want to remove the builtin one just so that everybody knows. :D

thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] raynan:
The only thing I see happening is that it would make it weird to look at since the screen protector in front is still not anti-glare. You might get the effect you want by buying a cheap anti-glare protector and installing it on the Otterbox's existing protector.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] alvin_elizalde:
thanks for the reply! but do you mean to install the antiglare protector ON the otterbox screen protector itself? it kind of makes sense though. :D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Todd727:
I always punch the Otterbox plastic screen protector out of the case (camera side too if it has one). Seems silly to put a cheap piece of plastic over a nice screen. Then you can add the film, over the screen, which does look better than the Otterbox plastic.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bogdaryl:
I'm a huge fan of the Otterbox Defender series except for the built in screen protector. Can't stand it. Ripped mine out and have found that I can put the defender case on on top of the Zagg Glass ( my personal favorite screen protector ) , and had zero issues, even dropped it several times with no problems.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] nexy33:
The new s5 defender case has enough problems snapping together without a screen protector on it its a very tight fit however the silicon on this one really holds the show together. If you do intend to to fit one as someone said removing the built in one might have to be the way to go as i seriously don't think you would be able to clip the shells together.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Cjohns8792:
Did this with my s4. The plastic will tend to adhere to the sticky screen protector making it look like water In between. A lot of lifeproof cases do this too. I heard baby powder wiped on and off the back of the Otterbox plastic screen would help cure that. Popping out the built in screen protector works better In my opinion. You still protect the screen from scratches and almost as much from falls.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
After years of having Samsung phones I could take no more. They are now awful. Locking down their phones and TW is so bad. I just ordered my new HTC M8 developer edition for AT&T. I can't wait. A bit pricey, but no-contract/unlocked phones are the way to go. After years of rooting my Samsung phones, I actually have no desire to root my new M8; however, its nice to know that my bootloader is unlocked if I decide to go that route.

So - anyone of you using the developer edition on AT&T in the states? How is it? Does it require the input of AT&T's APN for LTE. Is LTE reception good?

Would love to hear more from those who recently abandoned Samsung. :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowmail:
Hi I'm using the unlocked version (it has the same radios as the developer editions). I am on Cricket (AT&T's pre pay service) and LTE is fantastic. Works out of the box as advertised. :)

I am in the San Diego area...

Hope this helps.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattMJB0188:
Thanks. Cricket is GSM based now? So your using band 17 for LTE?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowmail:
Yes the New Cricket is all GSM, and uses all the AT&T towers for LTE, 3G and under. It is like getting AT&T without a contract, and for a lot less. I got my nano simm online from their web site, you avoid a 25$ activation fee a store will charge.

Hi All !

Sorry for the basic question. I would like to sync my TyTn with two Exchange server.

1. Exchange server in the company

2. Hosted Exchange server

Do you have any idea, how to do that ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] herman3101:
As far as I know it is impossible at the moment. Activesync only allows one server to be set up. My intuition tells me we will probably never see it as there is only one contact, task, calender and email store in WM5 and having them both syncronised via 2 servers would cause more conflicts then you can shake a big stick at.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
Yep, it's a glaring gap in PPC functionality, but it is not possible to sync with two different Exchange servers! :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 38h21543:
Sorry to jump on this thread, but the knowledge may be relevant.

If no exchange server existed, but you have a desktop, a laptop, and TyTN, is there a sync solution for all 3 devices?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Slave1:
You can sync your PPC with two pcs (but only e-mail from one of them).

Everything else can be sync'd between them all.

My MDA Pro is sync'd with an excange server for my e-mail and 2 desktops (home and work) for contacts, calendar, tasks, notes and files.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trentend:
Could it be possible to link with thew hosted exchange using the built in capability, and then use funambol (with the exchange connector plug-in) to sync with the in house exchange server?

Ive not tried it, but I hold out big hopes for funambol as a synchronising tool for a mixed network solution.

After that it keeps on looking for changes and in the end it comes with the error message.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
Repeat: There is currently NO WAY to sync with two Exchange servers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trentend:
I don't believe that's true. It is possible to set up funambol, with multiple servers, and use the funambol clients (one which exists for WM5) to sync with these multiple servers.

If you can justify *why* your statement is true, and why it is applicable in this case, then I would be very interested to hear.

Over-the-air sync with 2 exchange servers: success

Hi,

My approach: use one exchange server with Visto push mail. The other with exchange activesync directly to the server and it works. Two separate mailboxes too. (this is the main reason why you cannot sync with two exchange servers directly) It works fine for me.
