I ran firewater, it says:

Whelp, this sucks, firewater cannot work on your device. No amount of refreshing, retrying, or ruuing will fix this...

Sorry it didn't work out
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technocrat7:
Okay so I found out the real issue, and for those who saw my other post, the reason it said it could not be completed is because after I launch "adb shell"

I type "su"

And nothing happens. It's supposed to prompt me for my SuperSU permission but it doesn't.

SuperSU is not listed as a device manager under my security too. And in the shell it shows a # and I've granted other applications permission before so I know I'm rooted. Any help?

I'm running InsertCoin if it matters.

Have u tried the new other s-off methods? They do cost around 20 bucks I thinm

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souldrinker:
If it doesn't prompt you for su access and doesn't seem to do anything when running firewater it's probably because the rom is not "stock" enough. Running Maximus or other near stock roms is more likely to succeed. But anyway if you previously got the whelp message in firewater I suppose you're like many of us out of luck using that since it seems HTC has closed the exploit that firewater used on some phones.

So as MotoTurbo said, you'll probably need to use Sunshine (http://theroot.ninja) rather than Firewater. It's made by the same devs, but works on all M8's (even the ones that got whelped in Firewater). It does cost $25 but it was really simple to use and worked perfect on my phone. The newest version even seem to root your phone if it's not rooted already and then s-off's your phone after it has made sure it will work on your phone and paying using Paypal or creditcard from within the app...

The close to stock requirement also seem valid for Sunshine, but you can always try from your current rom since it won't allow you to pay until it's sure it can s-off your phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technocrat7:
Ah I see.

Thank you. It sucks I'm out of luck but I think it's worth the $20. I am pretty sure I plan on keeping the phone around long enough.

One more question. The newest update for InsertCoin, or even some xposed modules are falling to work. It says "installation aborted" after not being able to extract to some directory or find it or something.

But I was installing updates fine a week ago. It's just the newest one giving me trouble. Someone said I have to go to the website manually and just put it in my SD card and zip install it through recovery.

I don't want to screw things up because I heard someone got stuck in a bootloop by doing this.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Later hboots don't work with firewater. What hboot version is your device on?

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

There is no reason to believe the new InsertCoin has any higher change to cause a bootloop than any other update or mod. I just manually flashed InsertCoin 3.0.8 and things went just fine. Side note: its funny I haven't been keeping up with the InsertCoin versions, and this thread made me realized how out of date I was . . . I was still on 3.0.4!

I'd relax on the "fear of a bootloop" thing. Bootloops happen, its just a fact of flashing mods. But the solution to recover is often an easy one; its just a matter of knowing or figuring out the exact trick to recover (different based on various causes). S-off is nice to have, but honestly its not an absolute necessity, as long as you've followed the other suggestions I gave previously, you are well equipped to recover from a bootloop, even in the unlikely event that one happens. S-off isn't necessary to flash ROMs, many folks do so S-on. S-off just gives you more options if you run into problems.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technocrat7:
Ah I see.

And well, downloading 3.0.7 is aborting the installation so I guess I'll just do it manually or something haha
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technocrat7:
Also I forgot to mention..

Why doesn't SuperSU show up as a device administrator under security?

How can I fix this? Or is it not supposed to?

When doing firewater, I do "su" and there is no authentication, nothing. It's like SU doesn't exist

-----

EDIT:

also, whenever I download something from the marketplace or something it says "installation aborted" is there a reason for this?

I would like to know how I can get IE to save all data to my storage card instead of the internal memory. I keep running out of memory, especially when running IE.

Also I'd like any general tips on how to save internal memory. I find that I'm running out too often. Is there unneeded files that can be deleted? Are there other tricks to fix this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lts:
The IE cache folder is specified in the registry. Have a look at the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

There is a String value here called Cache, with a default of "\Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files".

Create a folder on the storage card, e.g. "iecache", and change the value of Cache to "\Storage Card\iecache". This folder will the be used for the IE cache.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Nicnatros:
Thanks, that will help a lot! Does anyone know any other methods for saving memory on the devices internal memory? My device is always saying I'm low and I wonder if this may decrease the speed of operations also.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fvtluis:
In the same line of concern where should I modify the registery to have Calls Note to be save to the storage card ?

Also when you synchronise with Active Sync, notes that are in your Microsoft Outlook how can I tell him to sync those notes on the storage card in a particular folder ?

Thank you

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmoreira23:
Hi guys, I am new around here and i am facing a huge problem....

I installed a rom and bricked my phone, then I used the ODIN and installed the stock firmware version (S5660MUGKG3_S5660MBMCKG3_BMC) and the phone started to work normally.

Then after a while I turned off my phone and when I turned it on again it appear the request for the network activation code... Since then I cannot connect to any available network (I dont know if it matters but i am travelling around europe and the phone worked fine in Netherlands and Belgium but crashed when I turned off in France - my country of origin is Portugal). Any suggestion? As you notice the phone its a Samsung Galaxy Gio and the IMEI is 351825052722464.

I read something about trying to take the code with a HEX program (XVI32) but I cannot find the code between all the numbers... I will post the zip file in the attachments (I retrivied it via terminal emulator in flight mode wihout any sim card in the phone)

I needed help please.. Thank you in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jbrookley:
Hello everyone,

I made the mistake a long time ago to get an OTA update, not thinking that they'd lock the bootloader and I'm currently on MF3. Last I checked, the most recent firmware update didn't have root access, so I chose not to try and update it. Truthfully, it's been a while since I've checked in here (since I'm more or less stuck with a locked bootloader anyway) and I'm trying to play catch up.

What's the best way to get my device up to date?

Could I use survival mode in SuperSU (and would it retain root)?

Do I have to do anything special to upgrade (get rid of root/any customizations that mark my FW as "custom" on startup)?

Any chance someone fixed the locked bootloader issue or is that likely permanent (I saw we can now ODIN back to stock but I'm assuming that won't unlock the bootloader)?

Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks, guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
I don't know the exact answer to your update question. But, you can start here--

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573080

I have not read it so don't recommend it w/o further study.

There are several threads in General and Q&A that talk about updating with MF3/MK2/NB1 etc. There is a SafeStrap thread in General and Q&A. You will need SafeStrap.

Bootloader will remain locked and you are post MDL build so recommend reading alot in those threads--

I think you have to do this incrementally to get to NB1/NC1. IE MF3 to MK2 etc

SafeStrap will be how you flash TW roms only and won't be able to flash custom recoveries/kernels. SafeStrap will have your recovery within it afaik.

I am MDL and that is why I can't give specifics. It can be complicated, so study up for awhile--:good::)

Heh, I had a feeling that was probably going to be the case. That's what I get for being so out of touch on these things. I appreciate you taking the time to post here. I've used safestrap before but found the ROM's available for where I was at didn't really add much (and I'd have to reconfigure all my settings). If I'm moving to a new FW version, that might be a good place to start.

Thanks again for taking the time. If anyone else knows the best way to move forward (possibly removing my all custom aspects so I can just take any OTA's, assuming root is available for the most recent version), let me know.

Is there anything preventing root in the most recent FW version (I assume that's NC1)?

Thanks, everyone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
If you go to NC1 it is rootable with Towelroot---should be a thread on that too or within an NB1/NC1 thread.

You can probably search on that one.

Mod may move this to Q&A also--:)

I trying to modify build.prop and reboot the device but after that my device didnt rebooted,

I manged to get him into twrp at the first time and tried to replace the modify build.prop with his backup but now the device is stuck and dont let me get into bootloader and his loading up the HTC logo (that you can see when the device is boot up) every something like 5 minutes.

and the pc isnt recognized it too.

do I have something to do? when I pressing Volume up +power the device is restarting and showing the HTC logo but staying on black screen.

sorry for my poor english but I really need some help.:(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you make a nandroid before making the build.prop changes? If so, just restore the backup.

If not, why the heck not???

Do you have custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) installed, or stock? Any custom ROM zip on the phone? If you have custom recovery and a ROM zip on the phone, try flashing it.

Do you have adb/fastboot working, and any response when you use the command:

fastboot devices

If you have working fastboot, push a ROM zip to the phone and flash with custom recovery; or sideload in TWRP.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romhaja:

btw my htc one m8 is connecting to the pc for a second only and thats not allows me to do adb things
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
A nandroid is a full recovery image made with custom recovery (TWRP in your case), same as a TWRP backup. You should

always

make a nandroid when making changes to system files.

Especially

if you are inexperienced with making such changes.

Bootloader is

always

available as long as the screen comes on. If you can't get into bootloader, its because you aren't doing the button combo correctly:

1) While the screen is on, press and hold vol up and power button until the device reboots (takes 10 seconds or more).

2) The

instant

the screen goes dark and the phone start to reboot, let go of the power and vol up buttons, and start holding the vol down button. Don't let go of the vol down button until the bootloader comes up.

3) If you don't go into bootloader, you either didn't start holding the vol down button fast enough, or you let go of it too soon.

Once in bootloader, try going into recovery (TWRP). Although TWRP is of limited use if you don't have a nandroid, don't have a ROM zip on the phone, and if you don't have PC connectivity. You are going to have to troubleshoot the PC connectivity. Or you can try to put a ROM on a MicroSD card, and flash in TWRP.

Whatever you do,

do not

do a factory reset in bootloader. This will corrupt the phone's internal memory and make your situation even more complicated.

Did adb/fastboot work previously? If not, its hard to get out of your present situation without PC connectivity. Try re-installing the HTC drivers (HTC Sync), try another USB cable, or a different USB port, or even a different computer.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romhaja:
adb worked with my phone at the first time so I think I will try to reinstall the drivers, and if it won't work I will buy a micro as writer/reader and will put a rom there to flash.

Thank you for helping me! Do you have any recommendation about the sd writer?

[HTC One Mini] Dimitri_Alvarez:
Hello People from XDA developers

I have a problem with my HTC One Mini.

I decided that i was gone root my phone.

So i started with unlocking my phone using at htcdev.com

After i completed my phone was unlocked.

The next step is to root my phone.

I used TWRP 2.7 to root at teamw.in/project/twrp2/216

Every thing worked at this moment of time.

Then i downloaded an custum rom at insertcoin-roms.org InsertCoin M4 3.0.5

I tought that i needed a full whip.

So in TWRP is selected everything and wiped everything.

After that i pushed the rom using ADB Sideload in the phone and installed it.

After installing i cant boot anymore every time its going to Hboot/Fastboot menu.

At this moment i dont kwow what to do?

I add a photo from my HTC One Mini, Hboot

Sorry for my bad english its not my main language.

HTC One S4

Alright, I've looked into this for quite a bit. There's 3 things I've found:

- Change charging cable (done)

- Install HTC Sync (done)

- The USB connector port on the phone could be broken (hope not)

Anything else I can look into?

- Rom is ViperOneS JB

I believe I've tried ADB devices, I haven't really done any sort of ROM changing so I've forgotten much of this, but I believe ADB devices doesn't show any available devices.

EDIT: Another thing to add is that the PC recognises the phone when in CWM but doesn't mount the device such that I can access the files.

EDIT 2: I tried Fastboot USB, only comes up as Fastboot AC :/
