[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
Confused by the wording but as of now and for the foreseeable future the s5 has a locked and non unlockable boot loader. It does have safe strap, however, which allows it to only install touchwiz roms (kernel restrictions). The m8 on the other hand can flash any ROM any kernel anything it desires because it is unlocked and s off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I know this is awful late but to be strictly clear with no confusion, you CANNOT flash any kernels, ROMs or scripts (some scripts work but most likely not fully functional due to LOCKED bootloader) on the Samsung Galaxy S5. Now with this 'Safestrap' option you can backup/restore your ROM yeah but any ROM which isn't made and digitally signed by Samsung/your carrier will NOT work. There is currently no way to bypass this and if you want to flash anything your best and only option between the two is the M8.

On the other hand if you don't care about flashing that much then the M8 is still tons snappier and faster than the S5, even beats iPhones in their snappiness where as the S5 loses to the iPhone in speed tests between switching apps. & it's not benchmarks i'm talking about, strictly the speed of when you open apps and navigate through them. Real usage.

Loads more stuff but if you want the good things about the S5 look elsewhere from my post as I've never had one and I myself love the M8.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
Additionally, the m8 wins in every head to head review I've seen. Nearly everyone prefers it.

I've had both Samsung and htc phones, you can't go wrong with either. But after using the m8 I wouldn't even consider switching to the s5. It's way faster in nearly everything it does. Plus you'll get updates much more quickly with htc, which is a huge plus for this phone holding its value in the future.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Why am I... oh well.

M8 wins in everything but camera. 4MP just can't compete. It's good enough for some but it's just not a great camera.

Samsung is like... It's just cheap parts all the way down. A Samsung phone and nearly any other manufacturer's phone (Apple, HTC, Motorola, etc) walk away from the farthest tower in any one direction, and they walk away from all the towers. They're all in active calls. The Samsung will drop first every time. They skimped on the radio like HTC skimped on the camera. What's more important? Your camera? Or your connectivity? Remember, we're talking about your phone here.

Also, the S5 may have a locked bootloader (I didn't know this) but for the M8, all you have is Sense ROMs for the time being. Everything else there's some deal breaker or another. But the phone's only a few months old. I imagine the bugs will all get ironed out by the end of the summer or so.

There's no phone out or on the horizon I'd rather have. I'm curious as to what Motorola and Apple do next, but I do believe I got the best smartphone on the market with my One M8.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dunn816:
Thanks for the replies guys..I think I'm just gonna stick with my M8 ?

HTC ONE M8?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thunderbls:
Good choice imho.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] richii0207:
After all, it is an M8 section. Everyone will be biased just like if you were to ask the same thing in the S5 section.

Each phone has their differences. For example, the S5 has a removable battery, touchwiz, and a few other things I'm sure. But one thing is that it does not feel cheap, I am not sure what started this famous "cheap" talk about phones because nobody ever complained when the first droids were the same materials...

The M8 does have amazing speakers if you value that. The "premium" metal chassis makes the phone very heavy compared to other smartphones like the S5. Sense has also come a long way from froyo days.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
Everything feels cheap compared to this phone. It's kind of a ridiculous and negligent point, but metal does feel more premium than plastic. Doesn't mean the internals are cheap, but you can argue that plastic is cheaper than metal.

Anyone who actually purchased an s5 and not this phone who actually use XDA simply didn't do enough research first. No question that this phone is the clear winner, at least on Verizon's and AT&T's network. If I was using t-mobile or sprint, I probably would've been much more torn on what to pick.

Maybe it's bias, maybe it isn't, but I used to be a Samsung fanboy until I tried the m8 out. I loved my S3, great phone for a long time. Can't say I'd ever regret not getting an S5.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] richii0207:
Plastic makes the phone very light. If you use a case, your argument becomes invalid. I use a case with all my phones including the M8 so I don't feel ever the aluminum, just the heaviness of it.

If you value kernels and aosp/CM based roms, then M8 is the way to go. If your into stockish experience, then either one is a winner.

Don't get me wrong, I love my M8. But I feel I should shed some unbiased opinion on which phone fits you. The LG G3 is also another great phone you might want to check out.

QCast brings shared party playlists to your Chromecast. When you host a party, everyone can add songs to the shared queue, and downvote those they don't like - if a majority is reached, the song is automatically skipped. The host maintains the option to swipe songs away to remove them, skip to the next track, and control volume.

QCast works on all Android devices 4.0.3 and later along with a Chromecast. The host needs a Google Play Music All Access subscription. Would love to hear what you think. Next time you have people over, give it a try!

I have bought my s3 I9305 from oman and now im using it in india. ..........still I haven't received 4.3 update in my phone nor in kies......so please tell me what ro do to update the phone??
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] MaHo_66:
if you update your i9305 via ota update or kies, you will get the knox bootloader (new bootloader since 4.3) and that crap is nothing but a pain in the ass!! read about KNOX here. I dont recommend updating to official 4.3 for now with ota or kies, instead of that use a custom stock rom 4.3 from any developer on the development thread of i9305 without knox. but first ask in the thread of the rom, if you will get knox by flashing it? knox itself is removed from those custom 4.3 roms but still i dont know for sure, i have the new bootloader with knox myself unfortunately :(

all this time since im on knox bootl. ive had no problems actually with the knox bootloader in all that custom roms/kernels/recoveries flashing etc. but some do have and maybe you will too...(i hope not of course, if you do update to official 4.3) but you are warned!

I am still on 4.1, but as far as I know, the problem is not the Knox app, but the Bootloader for 4.3, which has Knox installed. Which means that you void your warranty if you install custom roms after updating to stock 4.3. Like MaHo said, read Here

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] StormConjurer:
I was trying out the Android L preview, and decided that I've had my fun and wanted to go back to the ROM I was using. I booted into recovery, and noticed that the stock recovery had been flashed. So, I downloadeed the lasted TWRP and flashed it through fastboot. When I tried to boot into recovery again, it froze at the Google screen. Since I already had everything backed up, I decided to just flash the stock image and try again. This is where the real trouble begins. The flash failed (output below), and now I can't boot into android as well as recovery. I tried a few different images (all from the official site, all marked razor), as well as the Nexus Root Toolkit, and all give me the same error(s).

So, how bad did I mess up?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
That error is usually due to an incompatible fastboot, first try doing a: fastboot erase system

...then try to flash system.img manually again.

Make sure you have the newest fastboot, one that is new as Android L bootloader.

NOTE: DO NOT erase bootloader! This will hardbrick you.

BTW, this is one of the reasons why I use multirom!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] StormConjurer:
The only img file I have is the bootloader. Is what what you mean?

Also, that seems like a tool I should really have.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
I assume you have the factory image for your old rom, in that package there is a zip file, if you extract it, you will find, among others, a img file named system.img. This is one of the files that is failing to flash.

The bootloader image is failing to flash because it is older than the one that is on there now (the Android L one), so fastboot does not recognize that new Android L bootloader because it expects one of the pre-L bootloaders, so you may have to grab the developers SDK and use that fastboot so it will recognize the newer bootloader.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] StormConjurer:
I installed the SDK platform for Android L through the SDK manager, but I'm still getting the exact same error.

I suppose it's also worth mentioning that even if I try to flash the L preview, I still get the same error.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Well, have you tried this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2381582

Read the whole OP, you can and should obviously skip the relocking of the bootloader.

Try the Recovery_Nexus7.bat first, if that fails then goto the Dead_Nexus7.bat.

It probably will get you nowhere, but it's worth a shot, obviously if it works, it will wipe everything and put it back to factory.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mhannigan:
I solved this simply... By using Nexus Root Toolkit and using Flash Stock and Unroot. Went back to 4.4.4, but you can flash back to any version this way. It will download the ROM you want and flash it with you I having to do basically nothing.

If you are in a boot loop, there's an option for that right under the flash stock and unroot option.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] StormConjurer:
Sorry for the absence. Had a busy few days.

Nope, same results as before.

Like I said in the first post, Nexus Root Toolkit is one of the methods I tried. There's an option to force flash, but I've been trying to avoid that, since it warns of hard bricking the device. I'm quickly running out of options though.

Update: Tried again with force mode turned on. No change in the results.

Hello XDA community! I'd like to introduce you Cure The Red Tile - a new simple, arcade game, just released by me today.

The game is about tapping red tiles, and make them blue. Each "cured" tile gives you a point. If you won't cure your tile on time - it dies, and the game is over. Tapping on the "healthy", blue tile also kills it, so don't do that. Sounds ridicolously simple. But as the time goes on, it's getting more and more tricky. If you're looking for more challenges, try the 5x5 and 7x7 modes.

The app provides Google+ leaderboards so you can compare your results with your friends and compete in global leaderboards.

Have fun!

Hey guys,

As you all know with the 1.7 Version of the chromecast app google enabled screen mirroring on selected devices. Since a Nexus 5 is a selected device i decided to try to make my Sony Xperia Z2 a Nexus 5 :)

I changed the following original Sony build.prop settings from:

ro.build.product=D6503
ro.product.brand=Sony
ro.product.name=D6503
ro.product.device=D6503

to:

ro.build.product=hammerhead
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.name=hammerhead
ro.product.device=hammerhead

I took the build.prop settings from a original Nexus 5 build.prop file.

Tested and working...it's great !

I guess you can easily adapt this to any other phone, so just a quick hack.
