Keep in mind that by contracts HTC is not allowed to perform direct service/repair on HTC products sold via the big service providers. Another reason for us to welcome HTC´s decision to push its own brand and open sales and service centres everywhere they have a market. XDA is a O2 brand, and at least in Germany O2 replaces faulty HTC phones within a few days.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergiopi:
HTC is directly in the market, but NOT in the SERVICE market :).

They just sell directly, not SUPPORT directly. they want more revenues , not be prepared to have CUSTOMERS!

Well done HTC! I understand isn't in the DNA of the company, but Steve, Bill, are you sure you want this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] iStrium:
It is very clear, for sure it is not co-business to keep service centers for HTC. But to have number of local contracts with service companies. To authorize their service centers, train staff, provide some equipment and technology enabling them to perform reasonable "customer care". What I was saying, I guess, is that it is not the case in Russia. Athorised HTC service centers in Moscow is a joke, they have no clue how to run business properly.

Additionally, HTC does not give them a lot of "knowledge". They know how to perform basic tests, no more. As the result, no surprise, there are un-authorised service centers, and they do pretty good. They have good equipment and what is more important knowledge. Otherwise, I think, they would not survive.

I am saying this because went thru the repair cycle and saw how it works (meaning did not work). Globally, pretty sure, it depends on country and location. On a reality HTC does not care much about customers. They jumped on a market, but not ready for all aspects, especially service. And finally, to be honest, non of such companies are interested to spend much money to provide good customer service, it is very little profit of it.

So, we have to take care about ourselves. :)

Hey guys ;)

Got my HD2 fixed (Broken Screen) and now i want to triple boot before i just used NAND Android and some Native SD Roms.

But it`s time for some more LOL

Okay enough of that.

I done everything like in this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880905

But everytime i try to boot the Recovery it just goes 1,2,3,4 and than after some time it restarts the phone.

So i thought i done something wrong and reformated the Phone and SD again but still the same problem.

Anyone maybe know how i can fix that?

Thanks

check that the recovery folder on your sd card has initrd.gz and zImage in it, and not just another folder with those files in.

Else try this sd recovery http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50789098&postcount=186 , it is the one mentioned but the link in that thread is down.

So I was on my TWRP recovery and I wiped Dalvik cache and all the other things that I was able to wipe while I was on the TWRP recovery and now my phone won't boot up. It is stuck on the white screen that says, "htc powered by android"

I assume that I probably wiped the os and everything. I can't get access to the TWRP recovery now what do I do?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] grneyez:
Hold power, vol up, and vol down. Try that, if that does not work try holding the power button down till the phone shuts off, they hold power button and vol down this should get you into recovery.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Power button + vol down is the button combo for

bootloader

, not recovery. Bootloader and recovery completely different things, so its important not the confuse them.

Power + vol up will restart the phone (similar to a battery pull on phones with a use accessible battery).

Power+ vol up and vol down is not any button combination for this phone I am familiar with.

Its not clear whether the OP is having trouble accessing bootloader; or if he can access bootloader but not recovery. Again, these are 2 very different issues. You are right, in that failure to access bootloader is almost always a matter of user error in not performing the button combo correctly. If the phone is stuck on the boot splash (which is what it sounds like) the correct sequence would be:

1) Hold power + vol up until the phone reboots.

2) The

moment

the screen goes black, but

before

the boot splash screen, let go of the vol up, and press vol down

3)

Do not let go

of vol down until the bootloader screen appears

Failure to get into bootloader is usually because either the user started pressing vol down to late; or let go of it too early. As long as the screen comes on, bootloader is virtually always accessible.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

Of course the phone won't boot. If you wiped /system, the OS is wiped.

If you don't know what it is, you shouldn't be wiping it.

Some folks like to wipe /system before they flash a new ROM for the sake of being thorough, but technically this is not necessary. Flashing a ROM always wipes /system.

But it doesn't sound like you were flashing a ROM. What were you trying to do, and why were you wiping things?

My advice would be to access bootloader as described above, then select recovery. Alternately, use adb to reboot into recovery:

adb reboot recovery

If you still can't get into recovery with either the adb command or from bootloader, its likely that recovery was somehow damaged or otherwise not accessible. Use fastboot to flash it again (boot into bootloader, select fastboot mode):

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(where "filename.img" is the actual name of the desired the recovery file with no quotes, placed in your fastboot folder on your computer)

Once recovery is working again, either restore your nandroid or flash the stock rooted or custom ROM of your choice.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You're talking about a completely different issue now, and not enough details and specifics.

Are you on AT&T?

How long is "a while", is it a year, a month, a week?

Did you change anything (new ROM, etc.) that may have stopped cell service from working; or did it just start happening spontaneously?

Does the SIM work properly on another phone (if available)? Did you try a different SIM (your provider's store might be able to help with that).

No service at all, not even emergency calls possible?

Hello Guys,

I have an issue with TWRP recovery. I can't enter in TWRP from bootloader. I have installed ViperOneM8 5.0.1. and used now for more then one year. I also notice that my battery last just for 8 hours and I think it should help to clean my phone. When I decide to clean my phone I try to enter in recovery and when I chose an option recovery in bootloader it is trying to enter but then it goes back to bootloader. I also try to install new TWRP recovery via usb cable (ADB) and issue stay the same. In the past I enter in TWRP recovery with out any problems. Can somebody help regarding this issue?

Thank you and BR...
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
What are the specific results when you flash TWRP? Any error messages? Or does it say successful?

What version TWRP did you try? Saying "new" is not enough. I've often seen folks say they used "new" or "latest" and when prompted for a version number, it turns out the version is 2 years old.

What firmware (OS number on bootloader screen)?

Also, try fastboot erase cache, and try to flash TWRP again.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Basinc:
When I flash TWRP it say successful. I also try to flash it with TWRP manager.

I try to flash version 2.8.7.0. When I saw I couldn't enter in TWRP, then I also try with TWRP manager and try to flash version 3.0.2.0. But again no luck.

OS number is 4.16.401.13

I try to fastboot erase cache, but when I select fastboot I have no option erase cache in bootloader. Only Hboot, Ramdump, reboot, reboot fastboot & power down.

Do you have any new hints for me and thank you for your time...

BR,

Basinc.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I'd stick with flashing by fastboot command. Apps like TWRP Manager just add a layer of needless complication. Something more to go wrong.

Both those TWRP versions should be okay, I think. But for your OS number, I'd be inclined to stick with 2.8.7.0

Its not a bootloader option on the phone, its a fastboot command you issue on your computer, like the one you used to flash TWRP. Connect the phone to PC, boot phone to bootloader-fastboot mode. Then in command prompt:

fastboot erase cache

Then try to flash TWRP 2.8.7 again, and see if you can them boot into TWRP.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Basinc:
Hi Redpoint,

I try to erase cache via usb cable like I would flash recovery. In cmd cache was erased successfully. I also flash recovery successfully in cmd, but then I can't enter in recovery from bootloader. When I chose option recovery I go back to bootloader. The same as before. Do you have any other hint for this problem?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Hmm, not sure what the problem might be. All I can think of is relock the bootloader (not needed if s-off) and RUU back to full stock image (basically, "start from scratch"), then try to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP again.

For that matter, you can RUU up to Marshmallow (MM) firmware, to get everything up to date. Although you will need to flash the MM firmware first, then MM RUU as described in the red text under RUUs section of my Index thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

Also, keep in mind that RUU will wipe all data on the phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmudgeSmith:
Got an interesting issue. Interesting as in annoying the **** outta me ha ha

My phone accepts and installs any custom ROM (Tried Maximus, ViperOne and Revolution so far) it says successfully installed, press here to reboot - all good to that point. I then reboot and it sticks at the HTC screen forever - left it overnight just in case it was doing something funky and just needed time. Some of the ROM issues I've read about suggest clearing cache etc. No luck so far.

If I then hard reboot, go to recovery and clear cache or factory reset it doesn't change the result. The only ROM that doesn't have this issue is CM 11 via their installer program.

Any ideas what I'm missing?

I thought about finding a RUU and going back to the start but of course I can't find a RUU for my area (Australia) nearest one is Asia - and I'm not sure if I can just use another RUU and cant find anything to say either way.

Can anyone give me any pointers?? Ideally I'd like to be left with the Revolution ROM BTW :)

thank you for the follow up. the issue with the stock rom, even when debloated its that it eats up your RAM,

for example, i have barely 400MB free on 2GB (1.8 to be exact)

there are rumors of a GE version of the S5 that will come but im not holding my breath..

as mentioned above, i really like resurrection remix, i believe its based on CM, so sadly it probably wont be able to take advantage of the s5's IR emitter.

in any case, if you are willing to spearhead this project, I would very much like to assist in any way i can, even if its just testing the freshly minted rom ..

Okay, so I am in a bit of a spot here. I recently converted my AT&T HTC One m8 (cid CWS__001) to the Google Play Edition (cid GOOGL001), but now I have a couple of problems. Firstly, I am unable to access RUU mode, if I enter the command

fastboot oem RebootRUU

I simply get a generic fastboot error saying that the command failed. If I try to enter recovery, I get a loading screen like the phone is trying to install a ROM, and then I get the Android with a Red Triangle error screen, and my device freezes up, so I have to wait for it to reboot on it's own. I am not sure what is wrong. The phone seems to function normally, and everything works other than the 2 things I mentioned above. To the best of my knowledge everything installed correctly on my initial RUU to go to GPE (I no longer have the logs to reference). I just noticed this problem while trying to install the 4.4.4 update. Does anyone have an idea as to what may be wrong or how to fix it?

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
This phone had a locked bootloader, so there is no way to install a custom recovery or custom ROM. There is a partial workaround (read through the SafeStrap thread in the development section) that will allow you to use ROMs that run the stock TouchWiz kernel. I'm afraid what you're looking for can't be done on the i537.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HC1Gunner:
I was reluctant to put SafeStrap on it, because every time I see I ROM I want, it states it will not work with SafeStrap.

Is there a list of ROM's that work with SafeStrap @ the S4 Active forums?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
You need to do some reading in the SafeStrap thread as well as search for SafeStrap in the General section because there is a thread that tells you what ROMs work for 4.2.2.

The most important thing you need to know is that the ROM you want to flash must be TouchWiz-based, so no CM, no AOSP, etc. The other important thing is that the ROM you want to flash must also be the same version of android as your stock ROM. So if you're on 4.2.2, you can only flash 4.2.2 TouchWiz-based ROMs, if you're on 4.3, you can only flash 4.3 TouchWiz-based ROMs, and if you're on 4.4.2, you can only flash 4.4.2 TouchWiz-based ROMs. The reason for this is since the bootloader is locked you cannot flash different kernels, therefore any ROM you want to flash must be compatible with your stock kernel.

For custom ROMs on the i537 your only option is SafeStrap or nothing. Please do some search and reading in the SafeStrap threads, all the information above can be found by doing a little research.
