I ordered mine on etotalk and they promised to send me a rooted version of their custom rom as soon as it is finished. So far still no luck...
[HTC One E8] kellingi:
Also in need of that custom ROM. Got mine from China some days ago, changed OS software language to English, but quite a number of preinstalled chinese apps have refused to uninstall. Whats most frustrating is that there is no Google apps. So all Google based apps are missing - gmail, maps, play store, etc. Downloading and installing the APKs haven't helped either. Most times, the APKs install but don't run. SO i have a device that i can't setup my gmail accounts and can't synchronize my contacts and calendar as well.

Would appreciate anything to allow me get rid of the base OS and replace possibly with a custom type OS.
[HTC One E8] kiwiandy:
open HTC marketplace app and download the GMS installer app.. its the one at the top of the list on the attached screenshot.

it will install the google apps correctly for you.

But still need Root to disable all the bloatware.
[HTC One E8] kellingi:
WOW, thanks a million. I just downloaded and installed the app you made reference to, launched it (though i can't read Chinese and all the prompts were in Chinese), clicked through the options and now the app seems to be downloading a large file/app (192.88MB), hoping this is the full Google suite and more importantly that all will install correctly.

That said, I had also tried to Root the E8 using this instructions in this link for rooting the M8:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2699065

While i think i was successful at this, i am unable to open the SuperSU app after it was successfully installed, keep getting an error: "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it..."

Any suggestion on what to do to fix this?

I'll update this post after the download completes...

UPDATE: Download complete, had something scribbled in Chinese come up, and after that, nothing. I can't find the file that was downloaded neither do i have Google apps installed. Can you maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong or not doing at all? I did try to click on the GMS app icon and followed through some prompts, which eventually led me to a prompt also written in Chinese, but with the following code: *#*#442#*#*

Code entered and my device rebooted to BootLoader, didn't know what else to do so I just rebooted the device.
[HTC One E8] EMF:
If you go in to Settings -> Manage Apps you can disable apps. So just disable the apps you dont want to use. Standard Android KitKat functionallity.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Just to clarify: Did you try the root first? Because if you have unlocked the bootloader, installed custom recovery or in other ways messed with it, you might not be able to install official updates and patches.
[HTC One E8] kellingi:
I did mention that i had tried rooting the device using the following instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2699065

I know the bootloader is unlocked, but not sure i have successfully gained root access. Reason i feel so is when i install Titanium Backup, i get an error that root access is not available or something like that. i also observed that when i boot into boot loader, i get a message warning that I have tampered with the bootloader.

My aim really is to disable or uninstall all bloatware, get rid of all possible Chinese apps running on the device and get Google Apps in there (Maps, Play Store, Gmail, Google+, etc)

Any pointers in achieving these would help a great deal.

For your info, not all apps can be disabled going by your suggested steps above...
[HTC One E8] kiwiandy:
The subject of this thread is asking for somebody to compile a custom recovery so that the phone can be rooted. Until a custom recovery is available we cannot easily root the phone.

I am well aware of how to disable apps on my device but am looking for the extra capability provided by Titanium Backup that allows me to delete. and then the ability to flash the exposed installer and then modify other features on the phone. refer to what we did with the M7 here to see what was done to make it more useable for non chinese speaking users here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2273570

Nice to see u ard here again, Andy! From Samsung N7102 u jump to HTC m7 now u got this device onhand so fast. Hehehe, patiently waiting for mine to arrive as well hopefully this will be the device of the year. Any hot issue on this device as I heard on M7 this has been an issue.
[HTC One E8] kiwiandy:
Good to see that you are still around also. I gave up on the N7102 and Samsung after their misrepresentation about the devices specifications, and bought an M7 dual sim version (802W) which was a great phone but I dropped it one too many times, so decided to try the E8, unfortunately I didnt read the specs properly before buying (unlike when with the N7102), but this device doesnt offer the 850MHz 3G band either.. so same problem again, but this time it is my fault! I will change my carrier this time, but need to get root!

Everytime i turn my phone on it says my back cover isnt all the way on. I have taken it off and put it back on to make shore and its still saying it. Is there a way to disabke the alert?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Intub8:
It's not an alert it's just a caution message. They all do it. The phone thinks that since it was rebooted the battery cover may have been opened , and it recommends that you check it twice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] raynan:
Assuming that you're rooted, there is an app called something along the lines of "popupuireciever". If you use something like Titanium Backup, you can uninstall it and it should be gone forever. Just don't forget to make sure your cover is on properly and you close the port flap before heading to any water hazards :p

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hbushi:
Hello to all experts,

I have some questions... (from a noob)

- What is needed to translate the rom into new language ... is there a language cab or ... ?

- Integrating additional memory chip (I've been told that there is possibility to stick another chip above the existing one) ... has anyone tried this ?

I apreciate all you did so far ... thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Hi.

By translating ROM I assume you mean having the OS in a different language?

There are two ways:

1) If the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of your device provides ROMs in different languages you can just download it from their site and reflash. The installation program will guide you step by step and usually it is as simple as connecting your device and clicking 'next' several times.

2) All the strings, menus and the rest of the interface is stored is special files called MUI. (example: coreres.dll.0409.mui - 0409 = English US)

If you can get a set of this files with the language you want and copy them to the device it will do the trick.

If you want more specific instructions you have to tell us what device you have and to what language do you want to translate it (some languages have special requirements)

As for memory chip: Some devices can be upgraded (like IPAQ 4700) but this has to be done in a lab with special tools.

Once again, without knowing what device you have I cannot give you a specific answer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hbushi:
Hi levenum,

thank you for your time and detailed answers.

Yes, sorry for making you guess but my question is answered under your second answer. What I need is translation of the OS or translation of all strings in OS interface.

My intention is to translate MUI in Albanian (latin) and Macedonian language(cyrilic). I've googled for these language packs but no luck so far.

At the moment I have BlueAngel AKU3.2; ROM 5.04.06WWE; Radio 1.15. and Wizzard G4 with molski ROM.

- Memory upgrading - we would like to try on Magician but any advice is welcome.

Thank you again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
Ok, well here some more info then:

1) Since Latin and Cyrillic fonts already exist on all devices with English ROM you won't need to replace font files.

2) If you want to do the translation yourself you will need an app like Resource Hacker or one of the MS IDEs (Visual Studio, eMbedded VC, Platform Builder) MUI are basically exe and dll files that have only resources and no code (they must be in correct exe / dll format).

3) MUIs for system files on WM5 devices must be signed to load.

You should talk to asukal and buzz_lightyear. They made several translation packs for different devices and will be able to guide you in detail.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] molski:
I have a complete set of 0413 mui files, can I simply replace them in a Rom?

I dumped the (WWE) Rom with imgfs_tools, if I replace all the 0409 files with 0413 files will that work?

Does these files not have to be signed or something?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
timjaba, in your case you just need to go to HP site and download an English ROM for your device.

I am not 100% certain but if they ever made a ROM upgrade for it there should be one there.

I'm having trouble getting my Cricket Samsung Galaxy S III back to stock. It's currently on the 4.4.2 ROM from Samobile.com, and it won't pick up the Cricket network. So that's why I'm trying to go back.

I'm using Odin v3.09, but trying to flash to 4.3 keeps failing.

Look, I know this is the Sprint version forum, but I'm at my wits' end here. You guys seem to know what you're doing; that's why you develop for Android daily.

Here's a log from Odin;

Also, the phone says "SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 2 > Binary 1".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Once on the 4.4.2 bootloader, your can NEVER Odin an older version. If it succeeded, it would've bricked your phone. You can flash any to You like, but never Odin a stock ROM earlier than 4.4.2.

Alright, I learned that the hard way. My phone works fine now on 4.4.2 for some odd reason; might be because I added the APN correctly.

Anywho, if I shouldn't use Odin, what should I use to flash with now? I wanna root 4.4.2 so I can use TriangleAway and get rid of KNOX.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You can use Odin to flash the latest Philz Touch Recovery and use its re-root in its settings. You can use Odin, you just can't every Odin anything older than ND8. You can Odin anything else that's not a stock ROM as normal.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddyxdxda:
Dear all,

I have worked on building Android from source code for few weeks. It used to be fine to me with my galaxy nexus, I can connect to my device via adb and fastboot and flash either the factory ROM or ROM built by me into my device. However, when updating the phone into 4.3, I forgot to extract drivers into the built directory and flash the built image into my device. Is surely can't work, and the screen turn off once "Google" is shown, so I would like to reflash it back to other image. However, my laptop can't recognize my Nexus S anymore in the bootloader. I can use "adb shell" once the device is normally booted (even without screen), but once I type "adb reboot bootloader", the connection is lost! Both "adb and fastboot devices" show nothing....

I have searched the forum and stackoverflow all day but can't find helpful information. There are many threads talking about unable to connect devices but 70% of them are driver-related issue and 30% of them, ex: sudo adb, just don't work for me. I think I am not facing the driver issue because I still can use "adb shell" once the device is normally booted (not in bootloader mode). Moreover, I also tried few debrick tools contributed by xda community but with no luck.

I am wondering if there is any way that I can reflash image to my device without accessing it in bootloader mode? (ex: push image in to device via adb shell when device is normally booted?). I am also wondering if there is any way to fix this problem. Any suggestion is very appreciated!: crying:

Thanks

ps. the most closed thread I found is called "ADB can discover devices but not fastboot" in stackexchange (I am not allowed to post the link)

but it seems there is no answer in this thread

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddyxdxda:
Thanks for the reply. I am not sure what I should do with dd command? Could I use it to reinstall the drivers into device?

by the way, I found there is a error showing up in the bottom of screen in fastboot mode, "Fastboot Command Read Error -2147483647", and many closed threads (sorry that I am not allowed to post url because I am new). Some suggests are to reinstall drivers (even thought I don't get if they mean reinstall the usb driver for laptop or for android), but it seems not solved yet.

Yu-Chih
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddyxdxda:
Dear all, I think I have tried all potential solution about "fastboot command read error -2147483647" that I can find at internet......

Here is what solution I have tried:

1. sudo the command of adb and fastboot

2. update drivers

3. update sdk

4. use another cable

5. install other drivers (win7), ex: naked driver

6. Wug's root kit

What I can't try:

1. enable USB debug mode at phone (because I don't have screen of it but only adb shell)

2. remove(uninstall) other software such as PDA net...etc (I don't try this because my system is clean-installed win7/MAC/ubuntu)

I think this problem is kind of common but my situation seems slightly different from others, that I can find the device when my device is normally booted but I can't recognize it when it is rebooted into bootloader (showing "fastboot command read error -2147483647" at bottom). I am starting to believe it either be the problem that I don't activate the USB debugging in my new flashed image (but I can connect it with adb when the device is normalled booted) or the usb driver in my device is broken.

Anyone has any idea.....:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eddyxdxda:
Dear all,

This is my latest update. I wipe out the whole system of Ubuntu and Win7 and restart everything from the first step. Magically, the new Win7 + Wug's root kit can successfully flash new image into my phone. But also magically, the ubuntu system faces the same issue as I described (no connection in bootloader with the error code but connection is fine after the device is booted). The bright side of this is that I am finally able to try other solutions, e.g., enabling debugging mode, but the sad part is that I still get no luck at Ubuntu and MAC.........can't believe it works at Win7 but not at Ubuntu and MAC.....

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr1ff1n:
Unfortunately, since my post count is low, I'm unable to ask this the official thread for Omega, but rather have to ask it here in the Q&A section.

The most recent Omega ROM based on Samsung's release is v58, built upon Samsung's XXUGNB6. However, it appears that Samsung has since then released at-least 1 update: XXUGND5 around 2014-April

Other Samsung based ROMs (like Android Revolution HD v52) have moved to XXUGND5, but I like Omega and would prefer to not move to another ROM.

The other Omega ROMs (AOKP & Omni) seem to be regularly updated, so I'm wondering why Omega didn't embrace this Samsung ROM.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Pallavgarg10:
So I have a z ultra Google play edition

I would like to disable immersive mode in mx player

For that I need xposed framework installed

But I hear that installing it would stop Ota updates

Is it true?

If so then how do I update to Android L when it's available despite being rooted and having xposed installed
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
xposed <might> stop OTAs installing, just depends on what they update, and how they do it. The last two GPe OTAs have been patched based and they tend to be harder to avoid conflicts with changed system files.

I doubt that the release of L will be as a patch, TOO much will have changed I think. So I think the next GPe update will probably be a full OTA like the one from release firmware to 4.4.2.

A full OTA will tend to just look at the model number to make sure it's correct and carry on, maybe the bootloader as well?

If there is a problem with the L releas you could flash the full 4.4.2 OTA and then go from there
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Pallavgarg10:
And if i had the NORMAL Z Ultra would installing xposed hinder updates from Sony ?
