[Sprint HTC One (M7)] SeanBond:
A day ago the battery got kinda low and I put it on charge. It started rebooting on its own while charging, I put it down to being low on battery and went along with my day. A few hours later I took it off charge and i was still rebooting itself after around 30 seconds being in the OS.

I thought it may be the ROM and did a wipe, after a wipe everything worked for 12 hours, it was even used outside and got real warm with no problems. Then I started uninstalling the apps that my old HTC Backup put back on and it did the same thing.

I did another wipe and just installed swiftkey (was NOT installed before) and then it started doing the exact same thing. I decided to try a different ROM in-case that would solve the problem, once I flashed a new ROM i restarted and it just took me into the bootloader and no further.

Recovery doesn't work, it just reboots. I tried plugging it in but all I get is it working for 10 seconds and then "USB Device not recognized". During the 10 seconds I still cant send ADB/Fastboot commands to it. I tried different PC's with and without USB 3.0 and 3 different cables. Before this ADB worked fine

All the drivers are correct, and I tried using HTC Sync drivers. (Even with the drivers uninstalled I get the error about it not being recognized)

Does anyone have any ideas? Or should I just sell it and move on?

Damn, sorry. Pretty sure you're out of luck if you can't connect to PC and you can't get into recovery. I'd give it straight into support now and give an excuse like update failed, randomly started restarting etc.

What OS Are you running? 8.1? I would suggest using a Linux Live Disc or Windows 7. its much more reliable.

I am pretty sure you need hboot 1.56+ for windows 8 to work correctly in Fastboot
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] resinis:
usually when it boots into the os, then reboots after 30sec or so, the radio is borked. the radio is the last thing to load in the os

if you can get into the bootloader as it shows in your pic, you need to select FASTBOOT. what you see in the pic is youre in HBOOT mode, and that will not connect to a pc that way. ADB will not work in the bootloader in any case, so dont even try that. You should have your recovery.img file ready, get into the bootloader as you show, and select FASTBOOT. then flash your recovery with command-- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

however, if your radio is hosed, flashing a rom wont help you. You should probably do a RUU. Many RUU's work off fastboot mode, so get into that and start the RUU.exe

Is there a way to check whether write protection is on or off on the device itself, or do you have to run an adb command from computer? I'm pretty sure I have wp off, but just wanted to check. Unlocked (non Dev) and rooted on 4.4.4 with TWRP. Thanks in advance.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beelow319:
I believe if you're unlocked and rooted then you don't have to worry about write protection. It's the ones with locked bootloaders who lose write protection on this update.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osucowboy96:
That's what I thought. I was able to rename the email app to install the newest one so I figured I was good on wp being off (and xposed survives reboot). I just wanted to be sure. Thanks for the quick response!

In a terminal window, run getprop ro.boot.write_protect to find out if WP is on. It will return 1 for yes or 0 for no.

Hello,

I would be so grateful for any help with the following.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 LTE SM-T325. However, when turning it on for the first time I found the entire interface in Chinese and thus unusable.

I've found the UK English ROM for this device and want to flash it. Can I go ahead and do so given that I'm unable to do anything with the tablet until such time as it's flashed to English? This also means I can't change any settings on the device beforehand.

I am registered blind without access to any sighted assistance at the moment so it is vital that I resolve this issue so I can use the tablet with the TalkBack screen reader in English.

All the best for now and take care and thank you very much in advance for your time and patience.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] flymacs:
I also purchased a Hong Kong version of the SM-T325. When you first power up the device you will be presented with a Samsung screen all in Chinese with 2 popup menus. The top menu (located about center screen) is the language selection. From that menu, you can select whichever language you want including UK or US English. You may have to enlist the services of a sighted individual for this 5 second task, but then you would be good to go. Does TalkBack do translation? How about Google Translate in combination with TalkBack? Those might be options.

As far as flashing, I did flash the German ROM, but it caused random reboots of the device. I ended up flashing back to the updated Hong Kong ROM and it's working very well. I have been tempted to flash the UK ROM but I use my device for work and I won't have the opportunity until next week.

If flashing is your only option, what method do you plan on using? I downloaded the German ROM from sammobile.com and flashed it with Odin. When I decided to flash back to the Hong Kong version I just repeated the process with the updated Hong Kong version. I am sure you can do it with the UK ROM. If it causes problems, flash it back.

Also, if you flash using Odin, it flashes everything...ROM, recovery, modem and bootloader. On the German ROM, I had regional issues with the Google Play Store. I would not let me download all of my apps, but for some reason the original Hong Kong ROM did.

It's a lot to consider and I hope you are able to come up with a solution that works for you because the T325 is a very useful device.

Good Luck

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] n0mad73:
So i have flashed several kernels without any problems. My last one was kangaroo v100. I decided to give elementalx 13.5 another shot but when i did my dialer kept crashing and was getting forced reboots after about 60 seconds. That was enough time to check my kernel version and it still said i was on kangaroo.

I reflashed my radio to fix the crashes. I then factory reset and flashed a nandroid backup and reflashed my rom. This gave me back my stock kernel. Unfortunately the only kernel i can flash still is kangaroo v100. I can't even flash the updated v110. When i try to reflash elementalx, it doesn't take but the elementalx.conf file and the elementalx init.d script is in the file system.

Any idea on what could be preventing this? Id blame it on kangaroo but i tried flashing elementalx and kk v110 after my stock kernel to no avail.

ViperOne 6.2.1

M7 Sprint

Kangaroo kernel v100

TWRP 2.7.1.1

S-OFF

etc..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] StormyNight:
Try doing a clean flash (wiping everything except where your ROMzip is stored) and then after flashing Viper, load it up, finish setup, check kernel version, then try installing kangaroo kernel. Also, you should install the latest v110 version.

Hello folks.

I discovered that the BA has BT 1.1 onboard. Now I do have some mobile devices that support BT 1.2. Bluetooth 1.2. seems to work a lot better and doesnt have that much interferance with wifi signals.

Now my questions is what if i try to upgrade my BT Radio? Is it possible to upgrade BT 1.1. to version 1.2? My current BT radio is version 1.15.00 but i dont know if its version 3500 or 3900. I have the latest Helmi'c BA WM5 rom installed.

I read this forum post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=274425

Its all about the BA WM5 Broadcom 1.7.1 Build 3400 Stack. If I install this BA radio is it possible to communicate with BT 1.2 devices?

Greetings Mark
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
Bluetooth version is a hardware version, not software one, so it can not be upgraded, the 1.15 radio is for the GSM part of the phone, the bluetooth stack is the software that controls the bluetooth hardware, so you may try to change it

Thnx for your help.

The radio stack didnt work and is only working with WM03. Now i have 2 bluetooth icons in my connections menu. Bluetooth is luckly still working!

You can try what mosespl mentioned, or you can try easy root tool again (that's what I used and it worked the first time).

Hi !

Someone please let me know why my Nexus 4 wakes up by itself at times when in my pocket ? Suddenly, I find the phone getting warm in my pocket and when I pull out it's open with some app or few pages open, etc.

I have stock Android KitKat 4.4.4 running. Everything runs great except battery is lousy and this wake up problem I just mentioned.

Appreciate if you can help me please.

Thanks !

Best regards.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kittuboy:
Do you have any issues with the touch unit? Is your phone registering touches even when you don't touch the screen? Because if that is the case, you might have to replace your phone's display very soon.

If that is not the case, it is quite likely that your pocket is a little tight, and somehow the power button is getting pressed. This would set the phone screen on, and the occasional brush against your thigh would be enough to unlock the phone. And unlocked phone + thighs = mayhem (screen on, random activities and hence battery drain)

Either put the phone in your shirt pocket (if you have one) or set an unlock pattern/PIN/password so that the phone can't act nuts. Best alternative though would be to get a flip cover.

Cheers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] seattleboi1982:
OK, i have searched around and have not found anything to my question. Is it possible to flash the ATT version ROM to the T-mobile version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Yeah, just don't flash any odin files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] seattleboi1982:
can you clarify please?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Not sure what you mean. You can flash any rom from any variant of the S5 (obviously not the exynos variant, but there's hardly anything for it anyway). When I say rom, I mean a zip that's flashable in cwm or twrp. NOT the files that you flash in ODIN (tar, md5). DON'T flash those files from any other phone except the G900T.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Well yes, but the way it works may not be quite the way you picture it. If you flash your phone to TMobile it isn't a 100% change over to TMobile as you probably assume it would be. Picture your phone as having two parts.. a baseband + ROM. The baseband is basically just the bootloader and modem. It's very hard to change the baseband and it's hardly ever done. So your baseband will more than likely remain ATT forever no matter what you do.

But that isn't likely to be a problem either. The baseband is compatible between ATT and TMobile and pretty much any other GSM system too. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to roam on other systems. You can change the ROM part to TMobile and your phone will act, smell and behave like a TMobile phone in pretty much every way that is likely to matter to you. The only obvious snag is that automatic OTA updates may or may not work, if that matters to you.

The customary way to change your phone to TMobile would be to root it, install a custom recovery e.g. TWRP. Then flash a TMobile ROM (or custom ROM if you want to) from TWRP. Note that installing a custom recovery like TWRP will change your Knox warranty bit. That might have warranty implications if your phone is still under warranty. Some carriers don't care about Knox - you can check the ATT forum to see how ATT handles warranty claims.

Alternately, if Knox matters to you, you may be able to flash a full stock TMobile image to your phone with the Odin program. This works for some carriers and not others. I don't know how ATT's locked bootloader would react to that. It's just a possibility that you could investigate if Knox and warranty are an issue to you. It would probably mean using a newer root method that doesn't trip Knox, then flashing a full TMobile firmware image, along with the correct TMobile PIT file. Hopefully Odin would just ignore the baseband and just write the ROM, while preserving the Knox bit. But you'd have to confirm that the ATT bootloader won't go bananas over the attempt i.e. search the forum to find out what happened when other people tried it.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] seattleboi1982:
actually its T-mobile S5 flash to to make it like ATT S5. Samsung is a differant beast for me as i am usually a HTC or Moto user.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Your original post stated the opposite. Unintentionally I'm sure, but it goes to show that clarity counts.

It's much easier to go in that direction because the 900T uses an unlocked bootloader and TMB is generally less restrictive.

So yes, you can install an ATT (or other custom ROM) onto a 900T.

Keep in mind that it is not necessary to do so. The 900T will work fine on ATT with it's original firmware. But you can change the ROM to ATT if you want to for some reason. The proper way to do so is to find an ATT PIT file, then flash a full stock ATT firmware + PIT to your 900T. Most people don't bother with the PIT file and occasionally that leads to bootloops and soft bricking.

Anyway, go ahead and flash it if you want. Odin won't change the baseband, but everything else (ROM) will transition to ATT. FWIW, I think that a custom (debloated) ROM e.g. Phoenix ROM (which is not branded for ATT or TMB) is a nicer experience and better performance than using the ATT ROM. But up to you of course.

There is a XDA thread on S5 PIT files that has the 16 GB version of the ATT PIT if you need it.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Odin will change the baseband. There's no need at all do do anything with ODIN. All it does is cause more problems if he does something wrong. I would just use TWRP and flash a stock ATT rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Installing a custom recovery like TWRP will trip Knox. That probably isn't an issue as TMobile doesn't care about Knox and virtually everyone says that it does not affect how TMobile handles warranty claims. But the OP should still know about Knox in advance in case it is an issue for him somehow.

I agree that a flashable zip is easier than Odin if the ROM that he wants exists in that form. Specifically, I don't know if anyone has repackaged an ATT ROM into a zip format. If someone has, then i agree with your approach. If not, he would have to use Odin.

IMO, the OP would do best to install something like the unbranded Phoenix ROM via TWRP.

Odin will not usually a foreign baseband to be flashed. Not that he necessarily has to try. You can use Odin to flash AP, CP, and CSC, but not the BL. Only when the constituent components are unavailable do you need to use the full OEM Odin image.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
OP: Why do you need an ATT rom anyway? If you tell us what part you actually need, it might be easier than flashing an entire rom, either with odin or twrp.
