[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temp4ling:
Hello,

I recently soft bricked my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 while trying to unlock the device to make it work with other US carriers (not sure if that would work). I modified the build.prop file following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2530610 forum. I think I did not made the correct changes and after that phone keeps rebooting. Phone shows Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and wouldn't pass this. Prior to this I did not make any copy of the files so doing a restore from back up is not possible at this time. I don't care about the data being lost. I only care about getting the phone back up and working.

I canget to ODIN mode and recovery mode. I had previously flashed it with SPH-L720_MDC_Modem.tar.md5 and CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.tar.md5 using ODIN before the problem started.

I tried all possible way to get my phone working but still it keeps rebooting.

I tried:

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache partition

3. tried to update from ADB - this i can get to list my device using (adb devices) but cannot get to push or pull /system/build.prop file to edit it. I get "error:closed" when I type in "adb usb" or "adb shell". I was able to log in as SU prior to this problem. I have the latest SDK installed.

I know for sure that I had checked the "USB Debugging" checkbox prior to this issue.

4. I tried flashing it with L720VPUAMDC_L720SPTAMDC_L720VPUAMDC_HOME.tar.md5 but I get the error that Binary=1 in download mode. Not sure if Triangle away apk will be of any help here to reset the binary counter since I cannot get past the samsung logo at all.

In recovery mode, my system reads:

Android system recovery <3e>

KOT49H.L720VPUFNAE

In ODIN mode, my system reads:

Product Name: SPN-L720

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

KNOX Kernel: 0x0

KNOX Warranty Void: 0x1

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

eMMC BURST MODE enabled

Can someone please help me to fix this issue? I can provide more information if needed.

Thanks so much.

Almost any USB gamepad. You'll need an USB OTG cable for this to work. Generally it is Plug'n'Play. I can play SA2 with my XBOX 360 controller :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shivityagi42:
thanq for this info..

and I also want to know that have you played any game through this method on your xperia z ultra...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Depends on the game really. I've used my PS3 kontroller a couple of times, and you'll have to map the controlls yourself if the game doesn't support it natively. It's not that hard to do (using SixAxis Controller), but it's kind of annoying when you have a fully functioning controller, but the game won't recognize it. The game description in the Play Store will usually tell if the game is compatible with a controller, so check that before you buy anything.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Jpe230:
Well. I used to play with emulators most of them supports a gamepad. but there are tons of games with gamepad support. Check out this link: http://androidgamepadgames.com

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] RockStar2005:
Hello all,

I have some questions about rooting my phone, the HTC One M8. If someone gets a new phone like this one, backs it up after initial setup, roots and does s-off, and then does a second backup (optional).......... is there any reason why that person should need to worry about anything going wrong? I'm replacing my phone and want to know that as long as I back it up

before

rooting and s-off, I should never have to worry, right?

Also, once you root a phone, you can still get new OTAs right? The rooting doesn't stop that, right? Just a simple yes or no is fine.

Kindly please answer both. I appreciate all those who can shed some light! It seems that rooting is ok as long as you do it (and S-OFF) BEFORE receiving any OTAs, or that's what I think.

Thank You,

RockStar2005
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] lampel:
part of rooting is a custom recovery which can block ota's from installing. sometimes the updates can manually be flashed or you can just revert to a stock recovery temporarily but changes to your system can also block the install. as far as the backups it's what ever your comfortable with - I never bother with backups of the stock software and I've never needed one.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] RockStar2005:
Ok thank Lampel!

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] leo9891:
I have questions pertaining to Rooting the HTC One M8 aswell.

I moved from Samsung's Galaxy line of phones and have always Rooted without hesitation. Reasons being, I have become comfortable with the way they work and am confident I can return it to Stock (no modded counters on it or whatever), if I need to bring it back to my carrier for some reason.

Now I just got my M8, and definitely want to Root it, but all the new terms for HTC phones confuse me a little. Things I need to know before going forward with Rooting are:

1) What is "S-Off"/'S-On"? And what does it mean?

2) If I Root, can I bring it back to Stock where it will look like I did nothing to it so I can return to the store if I need to?

3) I know there are risks when Rooting, but are there things that become "broken" or don't work because of Rooting? Examples would be like Sony's Xperia devices, the Bravia Engine stops working, and so does the Camera (for some models). Those things become "broken" as a security feature for Sony. Did HTC do anything similar?

4) Anything else you might think I need to know before Rooting?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] janderia:
I'm not 100% certain on the other questions but maybe I can help with your first question.

Security-ON / Security-OFF. These settings seem specific to HTC. When you purchase a new phone, it will be S-On. This basically means that there are specific areas of your phone that you won't be able to touch, even with root access. However, you can alter the system, boot, and recovery partitions with root access and S-On. S-Off will allow access to the radio and other partitions that you won't be able to access with S-On. S-Off also allows you to change the splash screen. You can check your S-on/S-off status by booting into fastboot (power off phone, press volume down and power until you see the white fastboot screen).

It is my understanding that in order to get S-Off on newer HTC One M8's, Sunshine (http://theroot.ninja/) can be used but it does cost $25. The htcdev.com site has more information on S-On/S-Off along with warnings of why you may not want to go with S-Off here: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/about_unlock_process.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] leo9891:
thanks for your reply, took a day or two after i posted to grab the concept of S-Off/S-On. I'm used to Samsung devices where all you needed was root, and you can do anything.

My phone decided to stop getting a connection today[1], and since I'm running CM11 I figured I might try flashing back to a stock ODIN package. Is there anything I need to be aware of in terms of going back to CM eventually (bootloaders/modems/etc)? I remember when I first got this phone there was some confusion about bootloader versions, but I'm guessing if I flash a stock Kitkat ROM it should be okay with CM11? Thanks!

[1] I get a signal, ~ -75dBm, but no connection, and the same SIM works in another phone.

I have previously posted a problem that I encountered with MP10 - it looses the storage data card.

I reported this to HTC Support Europe and this is their reply:

"Regarding your issue with Media Player not reading mp3's from a storage card, I have spoken to Dan about it and we are aware of this issue, and it will be fixed in the first ROM update we release. Our technical team are working on it at present, however we do not have a release date as of yet."

What amazes me is that they are aware of all the problems on the TyTn and similar brands and yet they continue to sell them!

The TyTN brand will be launched in South Africa soon for the first time. Boy will they blow it if the device is problematic!

Thanks Pof for directing me to a temporary fix.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Daryan:
I have been looking into this for about 3 weeks and I am now 95% sure it is because the storage card is full when WMPlayer tries to write its DRM / Metadata to the card. It is still a bug but the way to workaround it is to leave some space on the card, i.e. don't fill it full of music. I am trialling WMplayer 11 Beta on the PC and it has an option to leave some space free when syncing. Seems to be working fine. If like me, this 'feature' is one of the most frustrating things about the device then I hope this helps
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] basilrsa:
Media player has a bug

Thanks Daryan, I'll try your advice. But as you can see HTC admit this is a software failure, and yet the company continues to sell the product!

Otherwise I find the device fine(above average)

The new Media Player 11 is fantastic. I have not found any glitches yet.

WMP Fix

Temp fix until new ROM is to delete MSMETDATA folder on storage card and then run Update Library in WMP on your Tytn.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] westcoastgeek:
thanks for the fix

I had switched to pocketmusic because WM10 could never find my storage card. I deleted the folder as mentioned in the previous post as all works well now. Thank you. Anxiously waiting for an updated ROM. Loving my tytn - although I get the annoying screen alignment issue now and then too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Daryan:
Does the error not keep coming back? It did with my device. I have to admit that since the posting above I have since had the error so the workaround is not good at all. Do you guys sync with WMPlayer to get your music onto the device?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] westcoastgeek:
I have had this error twice. Its a bit annoying but only take a sec to delete the folder adn everything is ok again.

I don't sync my music I just add directly to the microsd card with my card reader as it is much faster than using activesync
