MFastboot(Used for manually downgrading to 4.2.2)

MFastboot

For firmware Download pick what firmware you want from the link below... make sure its the one you have. you cannot downgrade

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0

reboot to the bootloader

i used only part of the code from the sticky

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

i was then able to then flash OTA whilst keeping the bootloader unlocked, kept root, kept all my files and settings intact.
[Moto X Q&A] bigmook:
Ditto. I just downloaded the pre update firmware and extracted the recovery.IMG file and flashed it with flashify uninstalled xposed framework and boom three reboots and the update is done . reinstall xposed framework and all my settings are still there . VZW Dev edition. Didn't even lose root.
[Moto X Q&A] ConstantHero:
That's how it's done simple and effective.
[Moto X Q&A] RyanTX:
I did that code line that jadeddjay posted but only did the step through the recovery.img. I then rebooted and it worked perfectly and installed the OTA. I then went back into fastboot and installed TWRP and am rooted again.

[General Questions and Answers] jeffcalloway:
I am a Verizon customer and have also been playing around with Straight Talk ATT with a Nexus 5 and a OnePlus One (luck invite). Where I live east of Cleveland, the only reliable signal is with Verizon. I do not like any of the phones available now on Verizon. I am thinking about buying a GN and flashing CM11 on it to make it ASOP without Verizon's fingerprints all over it.

How capable is the GN in a land of apps being developed for Quad core phones and how much longer would the GN be useable? I can flash using ADB/Fastboot and am pretty capable of doing most of the stuff I need to do to mod a phone.

Just wanting to hear some users who are currently using their GN as a daily and if it is a capable device for 2014-2015.

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slvrbllt:
Hi all,

Several months ago I have converted my HTC One M7 to GPE.

Now I need to return back to stock. I have followed the (quite simple) guide that I found in this forum but I don't seem able to reach my goal.

I need an helping hand so bad.

This is what I have tried so far:

- Changed my CID from GOOGL001 to HTC__001 (OK)

- Re-Locked my bootloader.

- Recovery is GPE stock. ROM is GPE stock (4.4.4)

- Executed "fastboot oem rebootRUU" and then

- fastboot flash zip ruu.zip (where ruu.zip is the full stock, Wipe ZIP 6.06.401.1 rom taken from here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LQDLpVZYyUpXPgC2sh1BvAS9Oo8B-fTiZU_JhpIH-fU/pubhtml#

- Issued the above command twice, as usual.

After rebooting my device, the HTC logo (powered by Android) appears followed by the old Google Edition animation (ie: 4 colored spinning circles).

The phone seams to remain stuck at this point.

I have restored the GPE Rom and everything seems to be perfectly working.

Tried the above steps twice then finally gave up.

Has anybody here managed to revert his device from GPE to WWE Sense (.401.) ?

Any clues please?

Thanks a lot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
wel if I read your post right, all you have flashed is the 401 firmware, you've not actually flashed the 401 rom or RUU, so all you changed was the firmware, the link you supplied is firmwares and HBOOT only, its not rom's
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
change cid to htc__001 and if required, your MID to PN0710000

no need to relock bootloader when s-off

flash the appropriate ruu.zip or .exe, there is no 6.06.401 ruu.

reboot phone and enjoy

if you return back to stock for warranty purpose you will need to set back the bootloader to "locked" not "relocked"and remove the tampered flag before running the ruu.

for more information check nkk71 guide linked in my signature.

list of ruu for your phone:

dont use the 1.20.401.1 ruu, its a pre-release version with no ota updates.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slvrbllt:
I didn't realise that it was just the firmware.

I will try to flash the exe you have linked as soon as I get back from my holidays.

Thank you guys! I've really appreciated your help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickey Meyers:
I'm gonna make things easy. Ive used this method twice for returning to stock, as ive had to return my phone for issues twice. I guarentee that it works. youtube.c om/watch?v=uEBAKSDxbkI. This is 100% stock. :highfive:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
and that's the easy way ?........lol, took him 10 mins to lock his bootloader, the easy way is to reboot to your bootloader and type fastboot oem lock, 2 seconds its done, that applies to firmware flashes, ruu flash commands and then to s-on too.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slvrbllt:
I'm back and so are my issues.

Following your suggestions I have downloaded the following RUU:

RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe

Despite I'm S-OFF, I usually keep my bootloader (re)locked for safety reasons.

My bootloader screen shows:

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-HTC__001
HBOOT-1.54.0000
RADIO-4T.27.3218.09

OS-4.09.1700.1
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Jun 16 2014,20:13:15.8

As you can see I have already changed my CID.

When I launch the exe it start trying to flash but I immediately get an Error 158 and it quits.

I extracted the rom.zip from the file and tried the fastboot method.

This is what I get upon executing the command:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
How about trying a Guru Reset 5.11.401.10 you will have to unlock your bootloader and put TWRP back on your phone to flash it. It should take you back to stock and at the end it will ask you if you want to root. If you want to go complete stock just select the no option.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slvrbllt:
I will.

But wasn't I supposed to flash any RUU I like given I'm S-OFF ?!?!

I would like to figure out why my device isn't flashing the stock ruu at all...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slvrbllt:
You're right! I extracted the rom.zip from the ruu but did not decrypted it.

The one you have suggested worked fine.

I'm back stock now.

Thank you everybody for your help.

PS: On a side note, GURU reset saved me from the hassle of going through all the updates from 1.28.401.7 up to 6.09.401.5.

Cheers
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
you mean after you downgraded using ruu 1.28.401.7, you flashed a newer Guru Reset ROM, and took OTAs after that?

I'm glad it worked for you, but I would highly recommend against that, because the firmware upgrades (within the OTAs) are incremental, so skipping versions could potentially miss important upgrades within the firmwares, or even worse send you into QHSUSB_DLOAD mode

eg, assuming you installed a 4.xx Guru Reset ROM, and took OTA update to 5.xx, then there's a high chance you would have ended in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, because the 5.xx firmware (inside the OTA) is missing SBL3
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slvrbllt:
Well, after having flashed 1.28.401.7 (I was on latest GPE before), it started downloading a few OTAs (if I recall well, I applied all otas up to version 2.x).

It took me 1.5hrs to get to this point, so I gave up and installed the Guru Reset 5.11.401.10 instead.

Upon reboot it downloaded the latest OTA and jumped straight to 6.09.401.5.

The smartphone seems to be working fine. How can I be sure that all the required pieces are in place?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kic:
Hi all,

I had an accident and fell flat down to the ground with my TyTN in the belt pocket, exactly between my hip bone and the ground.

Now I have some more cosmetic plastic issues, but this would be acceptable. The bad thing is the Mail button is like a "sensor key" now, but works. The really bad thing is, the plastic speaker item inside (connected to the toppoly board, the speaker where the sound during calls comes out) is completely smashed and there's no more sound.

Since the rest is perfectly well, no screen damage (and no wrong alignments!!!) I would like to keep this phone but need a new speaker.

Could you guys help me to find such a speaker? The only part number on it is

501E6234A . It is a white plastic part, two gold connectors on the board side, a metal cover (now smashed) and a membrane on between the cover. You can see it on the attached pic, it's the white plastic rectangle in the middle.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance and greetings from Munich,

Torben
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Fallingonion:
Hi Torben...

Did you ever find a replacement speaker? I have the same problem as you and need one :(

Thanks :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kic:
Hey Fallingonion,

I am sorry, but I don't have any good news... I was in contact with a German company that usually repairs all kind of mobile phones for sales companies. They told me since the device is still too new they haven't received any replacement parts yet. The only way to have it repaired would be sending it in to HTC.

I did that in December and am still waiting for it to come back - and what it will cost.

How did you break your phone?

Torben
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lacroixdp:
I've seen a few parted out Hermes on ebay - you might try that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kic:
Hey lacroixdp,

thanks for this hint, too bad it's too late for me - but maybe Fallingonion can get a new speaker from there.

Greetings,

Torben
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Fallingonion:
I've done some digging around, and may have found a suitable alternative :) It looks like the Motorola L6 / L7 might use the same part...

I figured the speaker would not be unique to the TyTN - some other phone or PDA must use the same one - so I went looking for disassembly instructions for other phones in the hope that they might show the same speaker.

If you check Step 9 in this pdf you can see what looks like the same earpiece speaker (even though it looks like they may have unfortunately damaged it during removal - you can see the metal face plate is still attached to the front of the phone.) What do you think?

I've ordered one to see if it fits - I'll let you know what I find :)

I didn't actually break mine - I bought one from eBay, only to find that the earpiece distorted if you turned the volume up :( So I took it apart and found that the metal shield on the front of the speaker was dented slightly - I guess enough for the speaker membrane to hit it.

If the Motorola speaker works, maybe you can get your phone back from HTC before they charge you a fortune?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kic:
Wow, yes, definitely looks the same - I simply cannot say anything about the actual size.

Let me know what comes out - too bad I already sent mine in for a repair! I doubt I can still get it back without a repair :-(

I am curious though anyway :-)

Torben
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Fallingonion:
I'll let you know as soon as I get it - hopefully it will be soon :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Difficult to say if this the TyTn front speaker (earpiece) is identical to the one shown in Motorola PDF, might well function ok even if specs are slightly different though. In terms of delicate electronics were at the ironmongery end of the scale here!!!

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Fallingonion:
That's what I'm hoping, Mike :)

The speaker in your photos looks exactly like the one in the TyTN - are they of the TyTN earpiece or the Motorola one?

EDIT by Mike - The pictures above are of the TYTN fron speaker/earpiece. And we now know the Motorola L6/L7 does work as a replacement.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wundis:
I know that it is a complete offtopic ... but this is the reason why I use the aluminium case for my Vario II ;) it just saves lifes ..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Fallingonion:
Just as an update - the replacement Motorola speaker that I was sent works fine :)

It was not a perfect match for the old one - it was necessary to slightly bend the contacts outwards to make sure that they made proper contact with the pads on the circuit board - but other than that replacement was simple. Sound quality of the new speaker is fine, and seems a bit louder than the original, although I could be imagining that ;)

In case anyone else has the same problem, the only place in the UK that I could find advertising the necessary part was Phatphones (see "Speaker/Earpiece for Motorola L6/L7" on this page.) The part was quite expensive compared to other replacement speakers, but as I said it was the only one available.

Cheers all -
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Richardma:
When your speaker out of order, did you try to using the orignal headset? I have the same accident as you did. But ,There is no sound at all.I try to using the orignal headset, but still don't work. I am not sure , if it is the speaker problem or the sound IC problem. Now. I can only using the Bluetooth headset.

Good Day

Since version 1.64 I have noticed an increase of times where my themes are getting corrupted and I cannot recover what I had.

I have uninstalled , reinstalled Themer a number of times but it keeps happening -

They are not complex themes (5 or so Zooper Widgets, 2-3 Screens) and wondered if anyone else might be experiencing the same type of issues -

I love Themer and all it can do and would like to keep using it

Any thoughts on what I can do to fix this issue would be great

Hi,

We're going to need some more info from you here:

1. Which themes are they? (user submitted or from the official gallery)

2. Have you saved these themes and now attempting to reapply them?

3. Did you add any widgets to these themes? If so, were they official Themer widgets?

4. What phone are you using?

Thanks
[Themer General Discussion] Nutshell69:
1. they would be a theme i am creating / have saved in the past.

2. yes- i save the themes and now try to reapply - either it crashes or it looses items off the theme and i have to rebuild the entire thing

3. either a Zooper Widget or Everything widget.

4. Samsung Galaxy 5 - stock

I've lost about 4-5 personal themes now so its a bit of a PITA.

Thanks for the reply.

Have you also tried:

- Uninstalling Themer

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Mhaulo:
I have the official samsung one and it sucks

I have bought nearly a month ago this Samsung EF-CG900BBEGWW S View Cover. In simple words, i am sure you can buy a better case.

This particular one doesn't close well in the front, so sometimes the screen goes on for excessive time. Furthermore, the acrylic window is very fragile and gets scratched easily.

The contact that makes the switch between the small (window) screen and full screen mode, which seems to be placed somewhere in the backpart of the case fails and once in a day i have to unattach and attach it back to get the function again.

Really, bad quality product, I frankly discourage anyone to buy it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] russ18uk:
Yep I think all of the s-view covers are having issues with the front part not closing fully. Apparently it's due to lack of magnetism. Mine isn't scratching but I've only had it for 4 days. However, I'd expect it to scratch; and better that scratch than the phone itself, which is the main reason I have the case.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dl12345:
My 2013 Nexus 7 has a non functional USB port that works only for charging but not for data transfer of any sort. I need to RMA it, however I am running CM11 with TWRP recovery.

The guide for resetting to stock relies on having a functional USB port. Is there a way of reflashing stock ROM and recovery and relocking the bootloader with a non-functional USB port (ie., using only wifi to download to the device and the custom recovery to flash things)?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
Sure. You would need to lock the bootloader with the app from the playstore, then find stock ROM and recovery. Flash ROM then factory reset through recovery. Then flash stock recovery with TWRP. Reboot to stock recovery and factory reset. That should be it.

This app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker&hl=en
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dl12345:
Ok, I have managed to restore stock android and recovery, although I still am working on how to relock the boot loader.

I had fortunately taken a backup of the stock ROM with TWRP before I flashed my nexus to CM11. So I restored from the stock backup, then I removed the root using the inbuilt option in supersu and rebooted. I then accepted the stock OTA update to Android 4.4.3 which flashed the stock recovery during the upgrade process.

So now everything looks like new except for the unlocked bootloader. I'm still soliciting advice on how to relock the bootloader with no USB port available....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dl12345:
From the time stamps, it looks like I was composing my previous reply at the same time as you were doing yours. I may just have invalidated this option by unrooting my device :)

Thanks for the feedback
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dl12345:
I have the solution: Use TowelRoot (towelroot.com). This is an app that can be downloaded to the device to allow rooting without having to use ADB and a USB cable. Once Towelroot did its job, I installed Supersu again, then installed the bootlocker app that Aerowinder kindly linked and used it to lock the bootloader. Follow up with a quick uninstall of Supersu and the device looked like new: stock rom, stock recovery, locked bootloader. All without ever connecting it with a USB cable to a PC.

Thanks Aerowinder.
