[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PillowMetal:
You can use the RUU with S-ON as long as it is not an older version than what is already on your phone - I believe you are probably talking about 1.54.654.9 right? Check the about settings on your phone to see if you have upgraded from that (1.54.654.13 or 1.54.654.15 or the 2.16 something).

If the phone version is newer, you will not be able to use the RUU without S-OFF. Since you actually have the HK version, you will not need to change your CID. Successfully running the RUU will flash all the major partions, radios, and more and will bring you completely back to stock. It will also wipe your data/media partition (internal SC card) so make sure you backup anything you need to keep.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cristhefur:
Thank you so much for your response it was exactly what I needed. If I wanted to remove the tampered flag could I do it before flashing the RUU? Or will that get removed along with the root in the process? Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PillowMetal:
The RUU will actually remove the TAMPERED banner because that flag is in mmcblk0p6, named "pg2fs", which is one of the images that the RUU overwrites. UNLOCKED, if you have it, will remain because that flag is mmcblk0p2, named "pg1fs" which does not get overwritten by the RUU. It can be removed by hex editing that block with an echo command http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708571

If you are already unlocked, rooted, and have version 1.54.654.9, I would highly suggest you run sunshine and get S-OFF before you run the RUU and update the OTAs; who knows if that exploit will be blocked in further updates.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cristhefur:
I see, I'm running 1.54.654.15...can I still s-off with sunshine?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PillowMetal:
Not sure since I did it on .9, but I would definitely try it - in fact, if you are on 15, the only way you will be able to run the .9 RUU is if you S-OFF.

Sunshine will not ask you to pay until it has run compatibility tests and verified that it can get S-OFF on your phone - so run it and if you see the message to pay, you are good to go. Having S-OFF just makes things SO much easier.

Just follow the directions on the sunshine site http://theroot.ninja/ and run it entirely from the phone; couldn't be easier. You will need to sideload the APK, easiest if you just run the command "adb install SunShine-latest.apk" after making sure Unknown Sources is checked in your phone settings.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cristhefur:
Wait a sec, I thought you said I could use the RUU as long as it was of an older version than the one I currently had..so I was thinking about the .9 RUU since I am on .15... That actually wouldn't work? Sorry I'm a bit confused.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PillowMetal:
It's the other way around - look a few posts up - there's a "not older than your phone's version" in front of that statement.

To be clear, the .9 RUU will not work on a .15 phone if you are S-ON, you must be S-OFF to do that. However, if you had a .15 RUU (which doesn't exist) it would work on a .9 phone.

Sorry about the confusion. That is just one of the benefits of being S-OFF (not to get sidetracked but my favorite benefit is being able to flash from hboot or fastboot rebootRUU with the bootloader locked)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cristhefur:
Ah yes, I see that now- my mistake. I guess I'll s-off tomorrow afternoon then. Thank you very much for your help!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PillowMetal:
It's encouraging that the Sunshine devs recently made fixes to deal with Sprint 4.4.3 M8 devices - that's version 2.16.654.4 which is higher than yours, so I think you have a good chance of success. Good luck!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
Are you sure that it wouldn't work on a phone that is already updated to a newer software?

I have been on the previous version (final 4.4.2 version), and I have certainly used the RUU to flash back to the .9 version. To my knowledge, the RUU should work regardless of which version that your phone is running. If you're S-On, you just have to be locked & using the stock recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
I'm fairly certain that if you're S-on you can only run a RUU with the same software & firmware version that's installed on the phone. It was that way on the EVO LTE and I'm fairly certain that's how it is now.

Sent from my HTC M8
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] OMJ:
you may want to try http://firewater-soff.com/ first, if nogo, then sunshine

nope, you can't flash a older RUU if you're s-on
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
Oh ok...my apologies.

Is there a reason that my phone boots directly into the bootloader every time that I relock it?

I am unable to boot into anything after using fastboot oem lock, and it only loads the bootloader until I run the RUU (granted, this was before the latest update).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PillowMetal:
The red triangle is indicative of the stock recovery, which was updated with everything else when you did the OTA. Being S-ON with SuperSU means you must have been UNLOCKED at one point - if you are still are UNLOCKED, simply flash custom recovery back onto your device. If not UNLOCKED (if you relocked for the OTA, which is not necessary if S-OFF, not sure about S-ON), you will need to HTCDEV unlock again before flashing the custom recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] neudof:
Is it possible to flash the recovery from SD card or do I need to use my computer?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] PillowMetal:
When you download say TWRP from their webiste, you get an image file (IMG) that is meant to be flashed using fastboot from your computer. But you can rename it to "recovery.img", place that in a zip file along with an android.txt file with specific contents onto your external SD Card, and then you can flash it from the bootloader (if you are S-OFF). The file has to be specifically named as well - e.g., the Sprint HTC One M8 is "0P6BIMG.zip".

If you don't have an external SD Card, you may also be able to flash from the bootloader using a powered USB-OTG cable (like we did on the M7). Again, this is only if you are S-OFF, otherwise you will have to fastboot flash the image from your computer because bootloader flashes with S-ON have to be signed.

One last method that doesn't require S-OFF, is to copy the image file anywhere on internal or external SD cards, then use the "dd" command to copy the image over your recovery block (specific numeric device block depending on phone) using either your computer or a terminal emulator on the phone.

So yeah, you have options.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] cristhefur:
Update: I achieved S-Off as suggested, locked my boot loader using an adb command from another thread then ran the HK .9 RUU. I went through the 3 updates then took the phone to sprint, had no problems at all. Thanks for your help guys. :thumbup:

[General Questions and Answers] y2knarayan:
Folks,

Desperately need help for my Panasonic P11. It has exactly the same specs as Karbonn S5, Qualcomm 200 Snapdragon Quad Core Processor with 1 GB RAM and 5 inch display. However it has a better display, 720x1280, compared to the Karbonn S5 which has 540x960 resolution. A couple of experts in this forum and on facebook said that Karbonn S5 ROMs will work on this, provided I backup and replace my boot.img file.

Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Also, can anyone create a CWM or TWRP backup for it? Am willing to upload the backup created by booting into recovery and also a ROMDump backup if anyone is willing to help?

Reg,

[G3 Themes and Apps] Swizzle82:
You can't. Cm themes don't work on stock. You have to use an Lg theme. Cm themes go across mostly the entire ui, Lg themes only work on the launcher and sometimes the lockscreen.
[G3 Themes and Apps] DeezNotes:
Open G3 TweaksBox

Go to LG Launcher Tweaks

Enable checkbox for "Enable LG launcher's hidden settings"

Exit from G3 TweaksBox

Open Settings

Go to Home screen

Scroll to bottom and select "Hidden Settings"

Search for "theme"

Select all the elements the OP did in his screenshot

Download and install the LG SmartWorld app (this app has themes you can install)

This is as far as I got so far. I don't use the LG stock launcher, so I'm not exactly sure if this will work for me.

Like the title said, is there anyway to flash or install a custom power saving or extreme power saving feature on a GPE phone???

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mooch49:
I'm running stock RUU on Verizon's latest 1.55.605.2. All radios, etc are current. I'm rooted with s-off. Now my question is am I able to flash a rom like a GPE that is based off the 4.4.4 update even though it hasn't been rolled out yet to Verizon. I am very confused because I see some roms based on that update despite the Ota not being available. I've tried flashing a couple of roms that are 4.4.4 based but was unable to. Why can't I run a 4.4.4 rom even though I am s-off? And how are developers basing their roms off of it when it hasn't been released to Verizon. I am just completely lost.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
I think you're confusing Sense with Android (GPE). Sense is currently at 4.4.2 and about to be 4.4.3 later this week. (HTC is going to skip 4.4.4 because the updates to 4.4.4 are rolled into Sense's 4.4.3.)

You are able to flash GPE based on 4.4.4 or 4.4.3 because the Android version is unrelated to the baseband version. Don't hold me to that though. With Samsung (what I had before this) baseband enforced a minimum Android API level (OS version) but not a maximum. For example, when I flashed MJA, I had to use 4.3 and later. Could not go back to 4.2 or prior. But never mind that, that's Samsung talk. But I assume it's the same. Samsung uses alphanumeric, HTC uses what looks like IP addresses but aren't. 1.55.605.2 is indeed the latest for the VZW One M8.

I don't know why you were unable to flash 4.4.4 ROMs. Sometimes an older version of your recovery (e.g. TWRP) can make it impossible to flash recent ROMs. Check and make sure your recovery is current.

You can definitely flash either of our GPEs, but be warned they are not ready for prime time just yet. The current issue is that signal will drop irregularly in both of them. But we have some smart people working on figuring that out. GPE is typically only available for GSM phones (e.g. AT&T, T-Mobile, International unlocked) and making it work with CDMA (i.e. Verizon) is a nontrivial task. But they're trying. And for some, the issues are forgivable. For me... I'm patiently watching and waiting.

Lastly, you won't get the OTA because you're S-Off and/or because you're rooted and/or because you have a custom recovery. You'll never officially have Sense based on 4.4.4 because HTC's not doing it. Next week or by the weekend, we'll probably start seeing Sense ROMs based on 4.4.3 since that's what's coming.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
You're able to flash GPE simply because you're s-off. Once you have s-off, you can flash anything you desire. No guarantees it's going to work though. If the rom isn't ported for Verizon, it's not going to work. You have to do a little homework before you flash a given rom. Read through the thread. If nothing else, search the rom thread for Verizon. More than likely somebody has asked if it will work on Verizon and if so, you'll find your answer.

As to flashing back to an earlier version, once again, you're s-off. You should be able to flash anything you want. I'm somewhat new to HTC also but from what I've read, I don't think you'd have any problem going back. I know with Moto phones it wasn't possible but that was because the bootloader wasn't unlocked and the newer version came with a new bootloader. Since it was locked and the new bootloader had a different signature than the old, you couldn't go back. You're unlocked on here though and it should take anything you throw at it. Old bootloader should be no problem. Should be able to go back. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've read, that's how I see it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
There are two gpe ROMs in the Verizon Android development thread which have been specifically ported and catered to the Verizon devices. Both sjould suffice. Under NO circumstance would I recommend that you flash a GPE ROM from the unbranded HTC development. Same goes for GPE/SENSE kernels.

Need your help please! I seem to have lost my Bluetooth partnership on my Vario/Wizard with the Holux..(although the Holux is still working fine with my IPAQ which I use for emergencies)

Going into the Vario/Wizard BT settings...its found the Holux fine..and under devices it's showing OK.

How do I open up, or release com 6 and/or 7 ?...Very annoying as TomTom 6 has been working just great, but I don't know what I must have accidently done to screw up the partnership.

Phone is on ST AT&T. It is also rooted.

At first I thought it was just due to low signal strength (300-400kbps), but then even on my home wifi, nope, no faster DL speed than on data.

Anyone know if there's a setting or something in the phone limiting overall DL speed? I think it might have something to do with manipulating phone to work on ATT bc, although I didnt try it on verizon first, I've never ever had a speed problem with verizon.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1pro:
Since I can't delete my own thread, I will post the answer to my stupidity here. Moderators, please feel free to delete this if you think that is best. Somehow in Google Play settings I had hidden the phone in question. I have no recollection of doing this nor do I know why I would have done that, but nonetheless my phone was not checked as a visible phone and therefore was not showing up in Google's Android Device Manager.

Original Question... misplaced my phone today and I discovered that when I go online to find it it is not seen on Google's Android device manager website. The phone is not even listed as one of my devices (and yes, I am using the correct account). I have since found the phone and I can verify that Android device manager is cheked under the security settings. I am rooted and I have frozen some apps but nothing that I think would cause Android device manager to not work. I have deactivated and reactivated ADM to no avail. No matter wat i do i can I get my phone to show up online. This could be problematic if I were to ever really leave my phone somewhere and need to find it.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I may be missing? Is there an app I may be frozen but should not have or something else I may have done? I do have xposed installed with a few modules but nothing that I would think would affect the service.

I tried the clearing data in Google settings apk as suggested for other phones, but no luck.
