[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyman007:
After buying the device outright, and paying for an unlock code I decided I wasn't going to spend another 25 dollars on sunshine. Any other alternatives? Is there any other way besides s off to remove the tampered tag in the boot loader?

Thanks once again!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onem8:
no, sunshine is the only way to get s-off and then remove the tampered flag. Why you payed for a unlock code if you can unlock the sim if you are s-off ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyman007:
At the time getting an unlock code would have been cheaper as opposed to buying an external sd card and upon knowing now that sunshine is the only way which is an extra 25$ besides it's easier for me to sell the device later by saying it's factory unlocked.

So is sunshine the ONLY way?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onem8:
again yes :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyman007:
Well, its SOL for me then :/

Thanks for all the replies, its much appreciated!

I have one last question, how would i go about to returning the m8 to stock If i decided to in the future? Can i use the toolkit thats here on xda to flash the stock ROM?

I have a Telus M8, where can i find the stock ROM for it? (not that the fact that it was originally from telus should matter)

Once again, Thanks for all the help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
As no public RUUs are available for the M8 (bar a few US carrier ones) you'd need a stock backup of the Telus ROM (back your own one up and keep it safe!) and the stock recovery and then use a few commands if S-OFF to remove the tampered and unlocked/relocked flags. Other than that you should be good to go :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyman007:
Ok, I've made a backup with TWRP. So my ROM should be fine, What about my recovery though? I believe I didnt make a recovery backup and went ahead by flashing TWRP. Also, If i do find a recovery for my variant how will i flash it? Via fastboot?

Thanks for the quick reply!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ducted:
Be careful! TWRP does not backup all your firmwares device. Just boot, data, system & cache partitions. If you flash a wrong RUU you could run into problems.

Search & read all twice before do anything.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyman007:
Which steps would i take to ensure i Have a proper backup of my current ROM? As far as I know I need 2 things: 1) stock rom backup 2) stock recovery (which i found on xda)

So in order to return to stock I would have to: Flash Stock ROM, then flash stock recovery via fastboot. I dont even think i need any RUU. Let me know if I'm correct.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyman007:
Bump!

Help please, I dont want to end up bricking my device. All i need is clarification on how to do a proper backup of stock ROM. And how to restore that rom, remove root, and flash the stock recovery. Ive searched on google as well as on xda but cannot find a concrete answer.

if yes how to verify that its working or not? any way to notice that?

End Call button disconnects GPRS?

Hi everyone, I used SKTools recently to clean up my Cingular 8125. Now, whenever I hit the endcall button, it disconnects my connection to the Cingular network. I use the endcall button frequently to close screens/apps in one handed mode.

I used to have to hold the button down for a few seconds to disconnect me from the network. now whenever I tap it, it disconnects me from edge network.

Any way to change it back to the original setting?

Also, is there any way to have my 8125 CONSTANTLY connected? My spb weather never updates every hour like its supposed to. I think because spb weather does not wake the connection if its off.

Thanks, Jeff
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] stolenmidget:
same problem here, anyone have a solution for this? maybe its in the settings but i can't seem to find it?

I also want my phone to allways be connected to gprs..to use AIM and stuff..but it seems almost impossible to do so because it disconnects after every phonecall or after a few hours of being on..ANNOYING!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flatline007:
Hello,

I noticed the following behavior: when an USB-hub is attached, the AFTV hangs during the boot-time on the white 'amazon' logo.

When I disconnect the USB-hub the boot succeeds.

Its an active USB-Hub with 4 USB-2.0 ports.

If an usb-device (mouse/keyboard/hdd) is directly attached (without the hub), no problems at all...

Anyone else noticed/observed this ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
Not happening with my Targus 4-slot USB Hub.

Did you already have more than one thing hooked in before boot?

Maybe a removable storage stick could cause a boot failure.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flatline007:
Its even happening, if only the hub, without any attached devices, is connected...

But nice to hear, that this is not a general problem.

Thank's!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kairnage:
More then likely there is something about the hub you use that is making the FTV think it is attached to a PC and forcing it into fastboot mode.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
Hi,

I need help:

my nexus 4 was in charging overnight, hen i came up this morning, he was still fully functional.

aftr an hour, i came to use it again, it i saw that it was dead.

i have tried the fixes for the problem (to hold vol down and power byttons, an after 15 seconds to insert Cable and all this stuff, didn't worked).

i dont know what else to do!

im freaking out!

thanks for help :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
Can you turn your device on? If you plug in the charging cable, did it charge? And what about bootloader mode?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
Nothing :/

the device wont turn on, the device wont charge (i have tried different socket/desktops, and also different chargers), and i cant boot into bootloader / recovey mode.

Note: when i performed the steps on the internet, when i plugged in the cable, the Red LED light in turning on for about 15-20 seconds, and then turning off.

what can i do except for going to a lab?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
You can try this, if you didn't have already:

- Plug your phone to the charger while holding down the volume down button. Your device should boot into bootloader mode.

- If the above doesn't work, then let your phone charge for half an hour and try it again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
i have tried it and it didn't worked.

i will try in half and hour again like you said. (but i dont think that the phone is charging at all)

also, when i tried you steps, the Red LED blinked a few times when i inserted the cable in, and then its turned off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
When you plug the cable in, you must press down the volume down button simultaneously. Not just only plug the cable in.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
i know that what i did.

i pressed and hold the volume down + power buttons, and while holding them, i inserted the cable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
Alright :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
ok, i tried again now, and the Red LED is now on, and its not turning off.

its mean that the device is charging now?

im not touching it, im afraid to mess up something hahaha :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
Is the LED always on or only when you plug in the charging cable. I may have a slightly presumption...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
since the LED truned on i didn't disconnected the cable from the device, and the LED didn't turned off.

i dont know if to remove the cable right now, because if it is finally charging, i dont want to stop it and mess it up again.

so what now?

edit: i didn't disconnected the cable yet. but the Red LED turned off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
You are charging from the electrical outlet, are you?

Just let it charge for at least two hours, it is a good sign that the LED went on. ;)

Furthermore this red LED also known as 'red light of death' is a common issue of Nexus devices. It's an indicator for the batterie not to charge or because there was a thermal shutdown cause by too much heat and you only can solve this by screw off your device.

I hope you dont must go this far. Just be patient and wait what happens after the charging period. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
did you saw my edit?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
Ya, I did. As I said, be patient, let it charge.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
i have just noticed that the phonr is not charging at all.

its like before the Red LED turned on for a few minutes..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
Did you also try to charge it with another cable? Try again to press down volume down key and plug in the cable.

By 'not charging at all' do you mean, there isnt this batterie logo when charging?

Edit: Try this volume-down-plug-in-cable a couple of time. It may not work the first time you do it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
tried, not working.

when the phone i connected to charger, there is no LED light or somethinh on the screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
I am sorry. I don't know what to do else. You may send your device to LG or Google...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xph11:
Thank you anyway :)

Anyone else knows what to do???
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
search "red light of death".

leaving it on the charger might fix it. taking off the back cover, disconnecting the battery, then reconnecting the battery is an almost 100% fix.

What is Carliv Recovery ?

Carliv Recovery is as it sounds "RECOVERY" is made by Master Carliv ,

A well known dev in xda. Its a recovery based on Clockworkmod.

Whats new in Carliv Recovery v2.5?

Version 2.5 update (29.06.2014):

- cleaned up the source code

- removed "wipe all" option from wipe menu (too many users wiped their system and blamed me); if you need to wipe system, use "format system" from "mounts/storage"

- rearanged menu order in root menu to restore CWM order

- added a "nvram backup/restore" menu in "carliv" section: the nvram partition will be backed up in clockworkmod/backup folder as nvram.img. This will help if you lose IMEI and other communication features. It will work only if you have the nvram partition of size 0x500000 (check your scatter) and if you have the nvram defined as /dev/nvram path in recovery.fstab. If the nvram partition is damaged (as in flashing an oversized recovery) this will not help you, and you need SPFlashTools to reflash with format your phone official firmware, and after that flash this recovery, boot in recovery and restore nvram.

- some other small changes.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightbluster:
HI.. I bought Nexus 4 about a month ago. It has very low touch sensitivity. I checked PRS value. It only stuck at 0.80. I had a Stock ROM when i bought, then i tried another Custom ROM based on CM11. Still i have same issue. It's very irritating. It's very hard to type even a single sentence. I even tried many touch fix of application. :(

I found another weird problem. when i put my phone on Table or something It completely stop giving touch response but when i put back on my hand it gives touch response. When i remove my hand behind from back of phone it again stop touch (While holding my phone with two finger from side, Like while Taking picture) and when i put back my hand behind phone it again start working touch. :eek:

I tested it on Stock rom, CM11 and also another XperiaZ mod rom. so please don't say me that i have problem in ROM. :rolleyes:

My friend has Samsung S3 Galaxy (i9305). He tried to root (don't know which ROM he chose or which guide he used to perform the task). Something went wrong and he unrooted.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] traintop:
Hello there,

I now am a happy owner of a HTC Prophet ( I bought it as an O2 XDA neo) for about two weeks.

The thing works fine, but I am interested in installing linux on it (that's the main reason why I registered at this site).

But because this little piece of hardware is quite expensive I have some concerns about flashing the rom. So I have to ask:

Is there a SAFE way to try a new/altered/old/linux rom on my Prophet;

e.g. if the newly installed rom isn't working/ I don't like it/ the flashing process crashed/... can I somehow get the original state(e.g. the O2 branded WM5) back on the machine?

I cannot afford to try something with this machine and afterwards I have to put it in a trashcan :-(

-regards,

traintop
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hanmin:
There are no 'safe' way of doing it. Probably the safest way of doing it to let an experience person to flash it for you, still there are certain risks.

For your case, I don't think you should flash it yourself. BTW, there is linux ROM for Prophet?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] fdp24:
If you want to deal with linux, you need to modify bootloader.

This is not safe. You may turn your device into brick quite easy.

If you want experementing with linux, then look on Nokia 770, it would be your choice. Linux is by default installed on Nokia 770. And you don't need to modify bootloader.

regards,

de fdp24
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] traintop:
I haven't found one yet; and I believe there aren't any. But if you want to try a compiled kernel on a PocketPC, I would think putting it into a ROM and flashing this one to your machine is the best way...

-I have to say I have experience in building linux on Intel-based PCs from scratch and I just wanted to know whether there is way of trying linux on my Prohpet in a way similar to the one used on your desktop (e.g. dual-booting).

But because storage-capacities (ROM) is quite tiny in comparison to desktop PCs (where another hard drive or at least a partition ist easily installed to switch between) I think you have to

backup your current state of the Prophet,

save it to your PC,

flash the new to-be-tested ROM on the Prophet,

reboot and try.

After testing you can flash back the "original" (in my situation: WM5) ROM, reboot and you're fine.

With this process I have no problems at all (although a bit time-expensive) if and only if the flashing of the Prophet can be done quite safely... :-)

I have read a lot about linux on HTC devices and found out that the Prophet is nearly an exact copy of the Wizard, just without keyboard.

So how do the guys from the Wizard-Team do the testing of the newly compiled kernels and so on...

-If they would have to fear the end of their machine each time flashing the ROM I think they are either very brave men or they have good tools.

I think I will post my question in the wizard thread as well but thought to ask here first because they will probably say: I have no idea; I only have a wizard! ... :-(

-cu,

traintop

ps: after reading my post again I remember an old SUSE-distribution (I think it was 5.4) where you could install a little Programm on your Windows-partition.

When you started this programm it booted a linux kernel which in some way managed to get windows completely out of RAM and you could work with your linux-box as if it was booted with linux from the very beginning...

-perhaps this could also be a solution...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] J.Walker:
If you are not familiar with Linux - never try to play it with mobile devices. Just a good advice: use your desktop and let your handheld live as it born :)
