[Droid RAZR M General] netizenmt:
Kitkat was working fine, and everything seemed to work as expected until recently when it started overheating, running the battery down really fast and then shutting off. When this behavior starts, you can't charge it from a car charger, a PC USB port, a portable battery pack and sometimes not even the official Verizon charger that came with the phone. All of this behavior started after KitKat. My daughter gave me her Razr M to use which still has JB on it, and I won't be upgrading it to KitKat. I don't think the M is quite up to Kitkat, or KitKat isn't optimized properly for the M. Cyanogenmod 11 runs much better, even with the few bugs it has.
[Droid RAZR M General] Broloff:
i did a RSD now the unlock delay disappeared completely, but i still have the FC on storage option and i have to check if my battery life is improved
[Droid RAZR M General] m52 power!:
My wifes razr M is really starting to piss her off since the update. Reboots all throughout the day. SOD's (screen of death), and just general stupid behavior. Before I know it she'll be wanting a iphone or something.
[Droid RAZR M General] vjaamm:
I remember something like that happening when I had one of the verizon apps disabled. As soon as it was enabled again, the FC stopped happening. That was on Jellbean though.

I don't remember what the app is though. Sorry.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Leezard80:
So, I have a Nook Tablet 8gb that's stuck in a boot loop. I was using it last night to read, decided to go to bed and plugged it into the charger. Upon plugging the tablet in, it powered off, tried to boot up again, and then powered off again. It's now stuck in a boot loop (only shows the 'n' screen for 1 second), and it only does this when plugged into the charger or my laptop. When I remove it from the usb cable, it doesn't even power on at all.

I tried calling the Barnes and Noble customer support, but being that my NT is 1.5 years old, it's now out of warranty and they apparently can't do anything for me. The guy tried walking me through some troubleshooting steps and ended up telling me that it's a hardware problem. Before I toss it out, I decided to check here.

I have looked at other posts and seen similar issues that have been posted about, but seeing as how my NT won't even turn on without being plugged into the cable, none of the fixes on here seem to have worked. I did try downloading the repart.img onto a sd card but I was still unable to get my NT to reset to factory settings.

I'm at a loss at what to do with this paperweight, and I can assure anyone reading this, that I will never own a Nook again because of the horrible customer support, and the fact that the one I had only lasted me 1.5 years. Please help if you can, thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Leezard80:
Ok, update to my NT situation... (FYI, this appears to be a h/w issue with my battery vice an Android OS issue)

Just to clarify, I'll give a little more information. I've been doing research all day on my problem, and I feel like I need to specify some things in case anyone else has a similar situation going on. After reading some other posts online, this is what the problem initially appeared to be...

My nook tablet's battery drained all the way to 0% before I plugged it in. After plugging it into the cable (via pc or wall outlet), the tablet would power on, show the 'n' screen for approx 1 second, and then power off. After about 5 seconds, it would power on again, show the 'n' screen, and power off again. Basically it was just stuck in a boot loop and did not seem to be charging up at all even though the indication on the cable showed it should have been charging. When I would unplug the nook from the cable, it would not turn on at all.

Possible solution #1... I read somewhere in a couple different posts that it could be just a battery issue caused by me letting it drain all the way down. Some people resolved their issues by removing the back from their tablets, unplugging the battery for 10 seconds, plugging it back in and then letting the tablet charge. (Removing the back and messing with your tablet's hardware will void the warranty!!!) After watching a couple videos about how to access the battery and remove it, I decided to unplug mine and give it a shot.

Results so far.... After plugging my battery back in, my NT has stopped going into the boot loop. I'm now getting the message to let it charge for 15 minutes and then try to power it on again. This is at least a different screen than the boot loop I was seeing, so some success... hoping in about half an hour I'll have even more success. I will update again when I see something different... crossing my fingers!!!:p:p:p
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Leezard80:
Yep, unplugging my battery did stop the boot loop, and my NT is now charging. I was able to turn it back on and it's now at the stock setup screen.

Even though no-one replied to the post, I'd still like to thank the Android gurus that do post here and help individuals resolve their problems. It seems like I'm always learning something new when I check out the forums. Please keep up the great work!

Now time to root and have some more fun!!!

now for the BT , I manage to get an emulated serial port /dev/mbtchar0 but how do I use it with bluedroid

since there is no more Bluez support I do not have hciattach which makes me wonder how do I set /dev/mbtchar0 as BT port for the Android

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satello:
hi everyone, i received today my phone, it seems to be a korean import unlocked for sims but not rooted.

i had a galsaxy s2 for a few years and know how to root and flash a rom, but problem is, on my htc one m8 there is no option to disable fast boot in the battery menu

i looked everywhere on the phone, it's just not there. i looked on the net and somebody suggested CleanFLASH 1.0 just to start the phone in hboot, but can't manage to find the file anymore, links are dead, any suggestion?

thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satello:
anybody can help with this? I'm bloody stuck without a rooted phone!!!! thank you
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Is your main problem not being able to get into bootloader (I don't see how else the fast boot power option would prevent you from rooting)? Just hold the power button until the options come up, select Restart, then when the screen goes black, immediately (before the white HTC boot screen) hold the power down rocker, and

don't let go

until hboot appears.

Alternately, hold power and vol

up

to force a reboot of the phone, then when the screen goes dark, switch to holding the vol

down

rocker.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Why are you worry so much on "fast boot" ?

You don't necessarily need to press power + volume down to go to hboot/bootloader.

I never disable "fast boot". Just simply restart, wait for the downanimation complete (it turn black screen) then press volume down (no holding power button) ... it will go to hboot.

Or you can plug in your device to PC with USB debugging enabled. Open a command prompt from your adb folder, type command adb reboot bootloader
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satello:
thank you. i've tried all the above all afternoon, including all the tools available but phone will only either reboot, sometimes in safe mode, or reboot regularly.

I think I know what I'm doing. I need to unlock bootloader to root, but this is not possible. When connecting to pc by usb, and using tools, from comand line, computer screen just hangs and nothing else happens. with another program I can only see a tiny "fast boot...." on the bottom left corner of the screen. I cannot basically unlock the bootloader hence root the device.

another few things i notice you may be able to double check.

trying to reboot in standard recovery, the android buddy comes up on the screen, like dead, with "no command" message. then pressing volume up will take to recovery screens, never seen this before.

And last, but not least, checking the serial number from the menu > about phone > status the serial number comes as

0123456789ABCDEF

I checked with HTC support on chat and they basically gave me the registered serial number for this IMEI and told me of course that it is impossible that it has another number as this cannot be changed.

Question is... Have I got a clone here??

edit: sorry about the data, it was not set the apn, now it works. normally used to have automatically apn from sim card, but it's not the case for this phone/sim
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
I bet you do have a clone, does the phone has a playstore ? Install some phone specs app and see what it comes up with.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samteeee:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Analog Kid:
I think he was talking about "Fast boot" option in battery settings and not the "Fastboot" everybody is talking about here. Nevermind. And yes, that phone is/was a clone
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The subsequent responses by clpv5 and myself understood that he was talking about "Fast boot" in Settings.

The only reason the "old" root guides instructed to turn off "Fast boot" in power settings, is that this mode enabled would prevent you from entering bootloader from a "powered down" conditon (since with the "Fast boot" option enabled, the phone was never actually powered down, just a deep sleep mode).

But as we pointed out, you could always enter bootloader from a reboot, since a reboot is always a true reboot. This would work regardless of whether "Fast boot" was enabled or not in power settings.

Although it should be noted this thread is from July 2014, and the "Fast boot" option was removed some time ago.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Analog Kid:
Thanks. I was looking for an explanation like that; in fact, somehow that's why I ended up in this thread. Though, it's useful yet, since there must be lots of devices still running the 'Fast boot' option due to certain manufacturer's lack of firmware updates and because not every device in need for support out there is actually a new device
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afshingm:
same problem

oh man, i thought i was the only one !

i have the same exact phone !

my serial number is exactly 123456789ABCDEF !!!

mine is a chinese mtk htc one m8. after hours of search i figured my phone name is alps_htc one m8 and yes my friend, is a fu..... clone !!!

i tried everything ! and search whole bunch of websites and forums like xda and xda itself, nothing happened !

i also get the => fastboot....... every time i try to go to bootloader !

this is something that you guys who trying to help here had to understand, these clone phones settings is completely different from other phones and even the original one ! hold power button then hold volume up or down, doesn't work !

every time it stock in => fastboot..... none of the buttons of the damn phone works and i have to wait until the battery drain ! real pain in the ass !!! because you know, htc one m8 does not have battery removing option, another pain in the ass !!!!!!!!!

i had a another problem too, when i wipe this clone phone, amazingly, the IMEI was gone !!! the phone said "invalid IMEI" !!! witch after hours of search i flashed it with an app from mobileuncle tools, thank to them amazing app allowed me to flash a custom IMEI from a unused phone.

now i use another htc device from the original manufacturer.

a little piece of advice, do not buy a clone phone ! cause it's going to piss you off !!!

and if you don't know how to recognize a clone from a original phone, its simple, just check the serial number, if it's feel weird, just give back the phone to seller, smile, and run out of the store !

thanks to XDA btw.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] CWKJ:
Strange.

Anyway I am not the inventor of the partial upgrade.

But I do follow "every single steps" in the following link which is also in my previous message and it works.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=269118

That is how I have upgraded my Radio from 1.11.00 to 1.13.00

If it still does not work with partial upgrade using maupgradeut_noid.exe, than do it by another way, that is,

- extract your original ROM (*.nbf)

- extract the ROM with 1.13.00 (*.nbf)

- do the mix and match on your PC in the extracted directory with any combination you want

- do a full upgrade with your own combination

By the way, for 1.09.00, I heard but never have used the Radio, is a good radio version.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ciex:
Hey guys,

Yes, yes! I know this topic has been asked 100 000 times, and I have even googled, and tried to research, but honestly... everything is so freaking confusing! The information is so mixed up!

From what I understand is that you need to root your phone in order to back up your TA Partition, but the problem is some devices has newer firmware model, which in this case isn't possible to backup TA Partition, unless you root, but then you have to unlock your bootloader which means you will loose the DRM Keys! There is of course way to root your phone, but then you must either be super lucky buying a new phone which has old firmware, or you have to downgrade.

Now, I am using the Xperia Z Ultra C6833 - Build Number: 14.1B.1.510, and from what I understand there is a way to root your phone, but then you cannot back up TA Partition. In this case, this makes no sense how to solve this problem. I even have heard you can download a chinese application, but from what I heard, they are steaing your IMEI numbers, and adding virus on it (true, or not?)

I have tried to use the Backup-TA-9.11, which doesn't work by the way, because root is required, and the Flash Tools by following the instruction turning on the Switch to Pro ---> Advanced--> Trim Area---> Back Up (doesn't work, because the color is grey).

I have even tried to take a look to downgrade the firmware, but the problem is that you will have to flash your phone, but this requires root or something, yes? (sorry for not understanding exactly this this problem, because to mix information around on the net).

Now, as you see, I really have dilemma, and I don't think I am the only one who have the problem with this. I am almost giving up to root this phone, like SRS no joke! Been researching couple of hours, and this is driving me nuts!

Hopefully someone could please help me and someone else around the world who have same problems like I do! Sorry for writing not very tidy, but hope you guys understand the idea what I am talking about here!

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You have almost the oldest firmware on earth on the phone, almost any method would root it, hell it's probably so full of security holes that if you blew on the phone you could feel it on the back;)

At the moment the latest 14.4.a.0.108 is easy to root with easyroot or [NUT]'s recovery installer, then just back up the TA. You can either update to the latest firmware using PC companion or flashing a FTF with the latest xxx.16.1 version of flashtool (http://flashtool.net)

So:

Upgrade to 14.4.a.0.108

Root

Backup TA
