[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadrumgod:
Kingroot worked flawlessly on G Pad 10.1 vk700

Well I had it a couple days and I couldn't take the 1 gb ram and it was jus too slow so I said screw it, popped in kingroot (4.1v), one click and Giggity Giggity ..Success! Thank god cuz I'm shy a pc right now. I installed busybox on the second attempt which was weird cuz I used one (stericson?I think) and wouldn't update then I installed some other installer and it updated. I am going to consider xposed next, but first I need to toss kinguser for SuperSU and need a custom recovery also. If anyone knows where I could look for these steps without a pc I would highly appreciate it. So far the apps I have used worked fine but the normal install SuperSU and let it replace the old su couldn't update the binaries. I've seen the Super Sume app in the store but I'm cautious to reroot and I can't even figure out how to boot into recovery on this device and have never flashed before soooo...lol thanks in advance
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaos72653:
Kingroot has also successfully rooted my Verizon G-Pad 10.1 vk700. But he's dug in deep. I'll deal with him later. But looking for a custom recovery. None of the major recoveries seem to have a version for this device, inlcuding TWRP, CWM or even Philz. So if anyone knows where I could locate one, or is interested in porting with myself as a tester, please message or respond
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedecape:
Hello guys.

I was thinking about getting some NFC Tags to set up around my house. For example, one at the main door so that when I leave it changes my Nest thermostat to Away mode and turns off Wifi on my phone.

I know it's possible, but I'm not sure what to buy. There are so many options, 64k, 128k and apparently for specific phone brands.

What should I get for the N5 and for my intended use?

Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Pretty sure any one will do lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
The size doesn't really matter because nfc commands barely take any memory. However, I read that Mifare tags don't work with newer phones like the N5.
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Hi everyone

You must be pretty bored of threads like these!

Basically I can't s-off, so I was hoping for some advice. Here is my fastboot info:

TAMPERED, UNLOCKED

M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.21.0000

RADIO-1.23.40e.00.26

OpenDSP-v19.2.0268.0927

OS-

eMMC-boot 1024MB

I'm running TWRP 2.7.1.1 through which I installed JmzM4StockRootedOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1.zip and JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip. SuperSU is configured.

I have tried rumrunner, revone and firewater.

Rumrunner: Fails during Test 2. Tried two different PCs running Windows 7 and Ubuntu respectively. Last three entries are:

Rebooting into bootloader (again)

Waiting for fastboot (7/120)

FATAL: Download updated package at rumrunner.us

Revone: ./revone -P gives error message 2 as it should, then after reboot I get error 1 with ./revone -s 0 -u

Firewater: Error: "Kernel contains anti-firewater patch".

So, does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try next? I have seen a couple of other people on the forum who can't s-off under similar circumstances. I don't usually have problems with this sort of thing, but this one has me stumped.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
Any news? I'm in the same boat.

European unlocked regular HTC One Mini.

Have been running 4.3 and I think 4.4.2 ok for a while (don't even know).

I'm 'tampered', 'unlocked' but 's-on'. Hboot 2.21.

Can't supercid, can't flash firmware.

I can flash the twrp 2.7.1.1 though.

I'm now running the JmzM4StockRootedDeOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1.zip rom, with regular SuperSU flashed after it was installed.

Fast boot is off, usb-debugging is on.

Rumrunner gives 'fatal, download updated package at www.rumrunner.us'

Revone gives the 'error -2' when doing ./revone -P.

But after rebooting, 'revone -s 0 -u' just gives 'error -1' and fails, without an error message.
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Interesting. Glad to hear I'm not alone! What is your CID, out of interest?
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
INFOversion-bootloader: 2.21.0000

INFOversion-main: 2.12.401.1

INFOversion-misc: PVT SHIP S-ONINFOplatform: HBOOT-8930

INFOmodelid: PO5820000

INFOcidnum: HTC__E11

revone just keeps giving errors -1/-2.

firewater finally bails out saying I'm running a kernel that has the anti-firewater patch. But I'm running custom kernels that are in the howto's. I flashed boot.img manually through fastboot and made sure by 'uname -a' that I'm indeed running the intended kernel. Tried 'JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13.zip' and the 'bubba kernel' from 01-nov-2013.

And as I said, rumrunner seems to run OK. (during 'hold please' where you see the **** that become --- slowly, the bar fills up. After that it says it's rebooting into bootloader again, and after that it bails by saying 'FATAL: Download updated package at www.rumrunner.us'.

Different firmware packages I tried to flash all bail with some 'android_info' error, even after making sure the CID and model-ID match. But the way I see it I need to be s-off before those packages work anyway.
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Sounds like we've both tried the exact same things. Hopefully someone will be able to help.

I take it you are going through this pain to get sense 6?
[HTC One Mini] Everest_:
Have you guys tried going to SuperSU and change the Default access to grant? And then run rumrunner?
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Yup, that's how I have my SuperSU. Thank you for your reply.
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
I will check and try again, but I can't imagine it having an impact, since I'm running firewater and revone from a root-prompt already, and rumrunner runs happily but bails _in_ one of the later fastboot things.

I tried relocking and unlocking through the HTC dev thing again, just in case. Of course (I forgot) that has the effect of my entire /data (including 'sdcard') being wiped, so I now have to push a rom through ADB into recovery to flash and get the device running again.

From that I can turn usb-debugging on again, flash supersu and try setting it to always-grant and try again.

[MENTION=1146537]moomoomoo2[/MENTION]: Did you have your device sent to HTC for repairs by any chance?
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Not me personally, but I bought the phone second-hand in October 2013 so theoretically it could have been sent to HTC before then.
[HTC One Mini] ovidiumarius88:
Hey guys. I am in the same situation. I have htc one mini Europe version with:

Android 4.4.2

Sense 5.5 stock

Hboot 2.21

Unlocked

Rooted

S-On and CID HTC_035

And I can't get S-Off. I tried rumrunner, firewaters, revoke. Same errors like you.

I really want the sense 6 :)))
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Seems there's a pattern emerging! For the record, my CID is ORANG001.
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
Can you guys (or girls) report if your device was ever sent to HTC or not? Just a sneaky suspicion. Mine is, the original posters 'could be'.. until we get a definitive 'no' I'm having a feeling that they did something at the HTC repair :).

Right this moment I managed to get my device pretty much back to stock 4.4.2 / sense 5.5 (in detail, firmware 3.10.401.4). I'm 'relocked' (so still tampered) and on the firmware package (hboot, kernel, radio, recovery) that came in the european OTA update.

The thing is, that OTA update was ment to bring me to 3.10.401.6 (the last number is different). My software version now says .4.

If I do the 'search for software updates' it says there is nothing available?! It should report an upgrade to .6 or to the new Sense6 rom I guess. It's the regular european / international version.... my CID and model ID is in the sense6-OTA update's firmware... so I should be able to flash it...

Maybe I'll try that. Flash the untouched firmware that is in the sense6-OTA (it's an OTA file for my model anyway, no idea why it's not showing in the software-updates scan),
[HTC One Mini] nicniewid:
The same situation, device was sent to HTC repair.
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
Well, I'm no closer to the s-off business...

I locked my htcdev bootloader, flashed the firmware from the OTA Europe-3.10.401.6 (4.4.2, Sense 5.5). Then unlocked the bootloader again (Wiping /data, grr) and installed TWRP 2.7.1.1 again.

Then I managed to install Europe-2.12.401.1 from a odex'ed full rom dump here on XDA. Simple flash from TWRP.

Once it is loaded it detects an OTA update to Europe-3.10.401.6 (I already had the OTA files, exactly the same as posted on XDA here).

I kinda modified the update-script for it. Removing the cid checks from the start, and removing the md5-check and patch for '/system/bin/app_process', and then making sure the mount() and unmount() calls matched (no double mounts, etc...) the update-script ran fine from TWRP! I removed the firmware business from the update-script (was already running it) and added an 'app_process' to the system folder so it would be copied. I also removed the 'fota' business at the end of the script.

And it ran! So ignoring the single app_process file (which I took from a 3.10.401.4 dump here on XDA) I was running a pretty good stock 4.4.2-Sense5.5 rom, with official matching firmware. Once the rom loaded up, it detected the OTA update to Europe-4.09.401.3 (4.4.2-Sense6).

I first booted back to fastboot mode, and flashed the official recovery that was in the 3.10 OTA (so I got the proper stock recovery) but left the device unlocker. Booted the ROM back up, started the OTA download and just clicked 'install now' at the end.

It took some time, but the OTA update ran without any modification perfectly it seems. It even flashed the new firmware (I got a slightly new boot logo and I'm on hboot 2.22 all of a sudden) without me needed to relock and unlock the device, and the new 4.09 rom seems to run just fine. It boots, runs fast, camera works, I got signal and wifi works.. I think it's ok. It's late, the rest I gotta check out tomorrow.

Mental note for me: Now make backups of your system dump since it's nice clean and stock, and don't forget to make a backup of the /data/preload folder in case you wipe your /data again. I can still flash TWRP, so getting root should be easy.

I now wonder if just using the supplied firmware package in the Sense6-thread, and modifying it to match my CID and MID would've worked anyway. I tried it, didn't work.. but I didn't know you had to relock the bootloader before flashing firmware as s-on. Anyway, I got my device up to the latest official firmware as stock as it's going to be (hboot, recovery, kernel, system, preload, all stock at the moment. Only htcdev-unlocked and it shows 'tampered'. Feels as a nice base to root and just use it for now :).

All this still doesn't answer why our devices will not get s-off working at all.. but the reason I wanted s-off is done now for me, so I'm afraid I don't care anymore :)
[HTC One Mini] ovidiumarius88:
Hi dipje,

I am exactly in the same situation like you was.

But my htc was never send to service.

If your kind please could you write down the process you did step by step and attach some links where needed with the location of the firmware, roms etc that you used and the files that you modified to not check the cid and other.

I will be very thankful.

Thank you very much.

[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Excellent work dipje. Some more info would be great, including the modified script if you still have it. Regarding Europe-2.12.401.1 - was this vrvr's straight dump, or tr1gg3r84's international odex?
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Great guide dipje. Will hopefully help those who have the more generic CIDs. Counts me out unfortunately, but hopefully someone will figure out how to s-off the damn thing!
[HTC One Mini] CHiCaNoS:
Hi everybody,

Just for information, i am french (sorry for my poor English ;) ) and i am in the same situation :

One mini rooted, TWRP 2.7.1.1, S-ON, hboot 2.21.0000, revone : fail, rumrunner : fail, firewater : fail...

And my HTC also was sent for repairs (cracked shell, speaker HS, software update).

i am desperate...
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
I'm getting the feeling that (EU?) hboot 2.21 is simply protected against s-off tricks.

Is downgrading hboot possible with s-on? Guess not.
[HTC One Mini] El_Svanto:
I took the 4.3 OTA before using Rumrunner to s-off. And I believe that gave me hboot 2.21. Anyway it worked like a charm once rooted.
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
I think (read, _THINK_, absolutely not sure) that 4.3 (2.12.401) gives you hboot 2.19, and 4.4.2 sense 5.5 (3.10.401) gives you hboot 2.21. Then hboot 2.22 is _needed_ to run 4.4.2 sense6 (4.09.401).

I ended up with hboot 2.21 somehow, and since I'm s-on I can't flash firmware from a recovery or something, it needs to be unaltered OTA stuff.

From my recollection I was stock and used OTA's to get to 4.4.2 (3.10) and then unlocked, flashed TWRP and just rooted it. The only reason I want root is to use TitantiumBackup to make backups and to freeze/uninstall junk I don't want in the ROM.

If you followed OTA's to get to 4.3 (2.12) that would leave you at hboot 2.19, which would explain why the s-off tricks worked perfectly for you.

But once again, only started getting into unlocking/rooting/flashing my mini recently, so I might have the hboot versions all wrong. When I got the phone I didn't feel a need to root it at all. (I guess I learned to be happy with stock from my brief stint with Windows Phone 8 :P), so I missed all the 'developments' and OTA changes.

edit: nevermind, seems it's not hboot 2.21 at all. Other people reporting rumrunner works fine on 4.4.2 with hboot 2.21. Other people reporting having Android 4.3 _with_ hboot 2.21 (so you might be right, 2.21 is included with 4.3 (2.12.401) OTA after all. In either way, some people are reporting success with rumrunner on hboot 2.21 / android 4.4.2. So I guess it can't be the reason why 'our' devices won't work.

edit2: I'm reading a report that someone had the same situation (Hboot 2.21, OTA's executed all the way to 4.4.2 (3.10.401). Rumrunner would stop with 'download updated package at..' message (just like mine).

He then booted a live-cd (well,live-usb-stick) with Ubuntu 14, and used the linux version of rumrunner, which actually seemed to work! (Well, it bailed with 'you need an unsecured kernel', so the user flashed jmz's stock old 1.22.401 rom + jmz's kernel, tried rumrunner linux again and this time it worked OK).

But honestly I think if the devs. dont upgrade the s-off tools or make sunshine compatible to the M4 we are out of luck.

[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
That's exactly what I tried. Ubuntu 14.04 32bit on a USB stick, Jmz's rom and kernel. ADB and fastboot both operated fine, but rumrunner failed at the same point as always.

I know you're sorted for the moment dipje, but it would be great if anyone else in this thread (who can't s-off) can try rumrunner in Ubuntu as above if they haven't already.
[HTC One Mini] CHiCaNoS:
Hi,

I'm in the same situation and I want to try, but what does it exactly? A full installation of ubuntu (not live)? A specific version?

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

I install a 14.04 (LTS), I test rumrunner and I'll tell you what happens.
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
I don't think there is any need to install it; live is fine. Just make sure it's the i386 version, and run it as superuser via 'sudo ./soju'

Bad news ... I hoped it Ok because the process has gone further than Windows but error message still ...:

[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Yeah, that's the point it fails for everyone else in this thread. I'm not sure there's anything else we can do apart from wait and hope a new version of rumrunner is released.
[HTC One Mini] Everest_:
Are you guys sure that u have downloaded the correct file? "rumrunner_HTC_0.5.0.zip - 20.2 MB"

I got mine S-Off easily with CID "HTC_E11" and hboot 2.21.0000.
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
We've got the right file. Just seems there's a handful of handsets which won't cooperate. I'm 99% sure there's nothing wrong with how I'm using rumrunner.

And ADB and Fastboot is working correctly?
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Yup, perfectly fine.
[HTC One Mini] Zoeriva:
Hi,

I am from the Netherlands and got mine HTC one mini to S-Off.
[HTC One Mini] Child's Play:
I believe its a server issue on rumrunner.us i sugguest that u report the issue in the rumrunner or firewater irc
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
From the Netherlands doesn't say much :). They are different depending on provider or bought unlocked .

Mine (also Netherlands) is bought unlocked (HTC__E11) and was hboot 2.21. And for sure s-off not working.

How can it be a server issue? Rumrunner (and others) work completely offline AFAIK.

The message to get an updated version is just there because our phones responded differently than rumrunner expected and tells us to hope that there is an updated version :).

For extra information, revone is able to remove the 'tampered' message without problem. But more just doesn't work. Firewater keeps telling the kernel isn't right, but I tried with the custom kernel everybody else used.

It's something in our phones, New revision or something.

I've been on XDA for a long time, and did simple custom Rom work for the Windows Mobile 6.1 era, and kernel compiles for the hero and desire. Flashable zip work for Asus Transformer, and for a living I do embedded Linux work.

I'm not saying I'm a pc genius, but I'm very confident that I'm able to run an exploit or two :).

Of course, there is always the real possibility that I'm just missing something stupid so please keep suggesting ideas :).

But if instructions say to enable ADB or something, I don't go whining that it doesn't work unless I enabled ADB :).
[HTC One Mini] Child's Play:
Bec a lot of people have the same issue. No matter how much u try and it fails. I think it has to do with the file
[HTC One Mini] shivasrage:
So I spent my afternoon and evening with [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] on IRC he s-offed my device or better he updated rumrunner

server-side...now you guys should try and get a new expirence...so all credits go to him..thanks beaups you´re awsome..:good:
[HTC One Mini] Child's Play:
Woo hoo! Thanks for the update
[HTC One Mini] PavelX1:
Hello, got S-OFF -

Perfect!!! thanks!!
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
Wow.. Ok, I stand corrected..

'server side' as in you had to redownload it, or really the download you had now suddenly works?

Never thought there was an online component to it.. I may even have tried it without an internet connection to be honest.
[HTC One Mini] Child's Play:
Told u that it was a server issue. It was fixed then u dl again
[HTC One Mini] dipje:
Yep, apparently rumrunner indeed has an online component that it checks for updates on-the-fly or something. Would've helped if it showed something that it couldn't connect to it's package-server or something :), then we'd known more or at least had a suspicion :P.

To test I've ran the exact same download I've been testing with (without redownloading it from the site) and it clearly goes way further than it did before.

In the end it still fails though (telling me to try an unsecure kernel and/or different rom) and that's understandable, as I'm running hboot 2.22 / 4.09.401 now pretty much stock. Now that it came this far I'm pretty sure that if I flashed a stock rooted 1.22 (jmz's) with jmz's unsecure kernel it would work.

So keep your wifi turned on if you're doing this :P

Thanks, and kudo's for going on IRC to ask.. I would've never gone that far to get s-off :).
[HTC One Mini] shivasrage:
No need to download again....I said it was fixed Server side..all you need is a working Internet

Connection...read OP from rumrunner tread
[HTC One Mini] Child's Play:
Yup get help in irc if nothing helps
[HTC One Mini] thearif:
I can confirm it works without re-downloading... Although mine did not go through all the way upto pouring 3, I still got S-OFF. I guess pouring three is root related???
[HTC One Mini] Child's Play:
No. U r good to go
[HTC One Mini] shivasrage:
Oh for s-off I go very far .....................HTC with s-on is only a half device....

Like a dog you can´t play with....:laugh:
[HTC One Mini] CHiCaNoS:
No luck for me, still the same problem, even blocking the same place :(

Do I understand your discussions ? It's Ok since a recent change of developer ?

I also tested by downloading again rumrunner on their website, but same result ...
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Still not working for me either. I've left a message in the IRC channel for beaups. Feel free to join!
[HTC One Mini] CHiCaNoS:
No problem .. but IRC ? It reminds me of my youth ... lol. I will try to join you, it always takes a client to access or there is a solution for web interface for example ?
[HTC One Mini] moomoomoo2:
Me too! I think the last time I used IRC was when I was about 16, 10 years ago. You can use http://webchat.freenode.net/ , but otherwise mIRC is probably still the best windows client. HexChat for Linux.
[HTC One Mini] CHiCaNoS:
Haha that's cool ! 15 years too I think ! Now, stop grandfather ;) I'm going on IRC

Ahhh still getting same fatal error unable to download..

I'm using 4.4.2 Stock ROM, no root or anything just pure stock (Hboot 2.21) any ideas?
