[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronald_halbal:
hey, wats up?

I'm a bit new to the XDA site but i know my way around the Android OS to some extent.

I recently unlocked my bootloader, s-off (Sunshine app method) and flashed TWRP (with root) on my HTC M8 (international version).

phone is working fine, no probs...but, I recently received a notification of and update to 4.4.3

I did do a back up right after i installed TWRP, but, TWRP came with the root feature so even if i restore I'll basically have the same as before; a rooted stock OS.

Can u assist me in getting a stock recovery so i can receive the OTA update? or if its not too much can you guide me on how to?

I am seeing a lot of info around but i'm a bit confused.

This is my CID:

CID-HTC __332

I am more than happy to provide you with any further info in order to get me back to bare stock so i can take the OTA.

many thanks in advance..

Hi All

As the title says. Can I flash an LTE-A version with UK firmware?

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vampirøs:
what do you mean by LTE-A?? do you mean the model SM-G900F ??

if yes well you can flash uk firmware.

hope that I helped

I have the SM-G906K version of the prime device, is that still doable?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I wouldn`t risk flashing firmware that`s designed for a different device model, in this case the G900F firmware on a G906K.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
There isn't a lot of reliable information about your model so there is no authorative answer.

Most will say that it's risky and not recommended to flash a firmware from another variant. As well, you don't simply have a different variant of the 801 Snapdragon based S5. You have a derivative model, with a different processor (805), screen resolution, et cetera. Strongly arguing that it is highly unlikely to work and would likely brick your phone.

The best you might hope for is someone alleging that they were able to do so. And then you'd still need to estimate the credibility of such a report.

If you have root and a custom recovery installed, you could remove much of the risk by trying a 900F based custom ROM, e.g. the Phoenix ROM, rather than flash stock 900F firmware. All in all though, it's an improbable fit.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybg40:
Thanks for your help guys.

Yep, I imported this model for the specs. It's not a real drama on the stock firmware tbh. I just wanted to remove the splash screen and network installed apps from Korea.

I've hidden the apps, but there are still a couple of Korean bits and pieces I would like to get rid of. Maybe a firmware or suitable rom will become available soon.

Hello all.

you should be s-off & unlocked.

you can flash stock by stocksplash.img

download attached zip

extract files anywhere

use nbimg.exe for converting bmp files to nb & nbimg1.exe for nb to bmp files

save your imag as 24bit bmp file

open cmd & type:

nbimg.exe -F yourimage.bmp -w 540 -h 960

you see yourimage.bmp.nb,rename it to splash.img

reboot your phone to bootloader

in cmd type:fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

pdocwrite can write the dumped ROM image to Hermes-FlashROM.

(Hermes-FlashROM is m-sys tffs chip).

Is there any person who had actually written the partition data obtained by pdocread in hermes?

now,I Upload the "SoftBank X01HT Dumped Image"!!

Is there any person who can change this image into NBH format?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Sorry to say that hermes uses NAND flash (Samsung K5D5657) and not m-sys disc-on-chip. pdocwrite can't wirte to this type of flash.

None that I know.

Create an NBH is easy, sign the NBH so that it can be flashed into device without getting an "invalid cert" error... is not possible unless you have HTC private key or you patch the SPL to use your own certificate.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] yoshito tagashira:
Nand Flash ?

Hi Pof

Thanks res to me!

If what is necessary is just to write a raw image to Flash,There is a method.

Surely, the WInCE version for "iPAQ-Linux bootloader-source" can be used.

There is much source of a CFI interface about Flash writing.

Now,I am just using X01HT By Docomo firmware as HTCz.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Do you mean you rewrite imgfs on X01HT using HTCz extracted raw image? Can you post step-by-step instructions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] yoshito tagashira:
CFI write

The following is my opinion.

It cannot actually judge whether it is possible.......

For example, in Linux, if the MTD driver for FlashROM is installed in the system, the contents of FlashROM can be written by the dd command.

I think it possible to make the program which can perform this on WinCE.

If the raw data which I extracted from X01HT using "pdocread" comes to correct, this data can be returned to an original state by writing in simply on CFI type ROM.

is it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Right, the MTD subsystem allows you to do this, dd just does a raw copy.

I'm not wince programmer, but i guess it should be possible, there are such programs for windows plaform (rawrite.exe or psdwrite.exe from itsme).

I'm not sure if you can 'hot-overwrite' it while the device is running wince, i'm not an expert in that area... probably itsme (the author of itsutils) can point you to the right direction on this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] yoshito tagashira:
pdocread

■Outline

pdocread and pdocwrite are delivering the command to the itutils.dll thread which moves on wince.

It seems that the reading and writing which went via WindowsAPI will be performed if -w option is attached to pdocread.

Therefore, it can be said that the raw data read by pdocread is reflecting the contents of FlashROM as it is.

However, when pdocwrite writes in FlashSOM via ituils.dll, the WinCE itself will rewrite itself.

"An act which replaces the head, living "->Danger

It seems that there are all contents of FlashROM in a NBH file.

But IPL is an OneTimeProgramr Aria.-> CanNot rewrite?!?!

What NBH contains IPL?

Since I want to use HermesOS of SoftBank somewhat newer than HermesOS of Docomo, I want to rewrite WM5.0 carried in SoftBank.

the product made from SoftBakk -- I want to kill that annoying SIM check thread from X01HT

If bootloader is started via mtty, although it will think that FlashROM can be rewritten directly ???

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIBZ8185:
Hey there,

I recently bought the Xperia PLAY R800i 2 days ago in a " A Grade , Like new" condition off Ebay which unfortunately didn't come with a SD card, and have noticed some problem.

I have fitted a 32gb Sandisk SD card and have tried to install various games onto it like FIFA 10, Minecraft and GTA: VC - all of which didn't work or crashed after some point and then didn't work.

Other games like Crash Bandicoot and The Sims 3 did install and run fine, but when loaded back up, saves where missing.

Aswell as these, I have also managed to install and run the My Boy GBA emulator and play various games, a few ran fine where others did not. MX Player has also been installed to play movies, I have tried putting 4 movies onto the phone 2 of which play fine whereas the other 2 show as corrupted and will not run.

Personally I believe that the SD Card may be faulty but I don't know much about Android phones, so any help is very appreciated.

Hi,

Probably a stupid question, and i have actually tried googling it without any sucess, but how can i check and verify that my S5 actually has a unlocked bootloader?

Or is it unlocked by default? I have the 900f
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Short answer

Is it from ATT, Verizon, Sprint or USC? Yes = locked bootloader

You could try this dialer code (untested):

Dial *#*#7378423#*#*

Then choose Service Info > Configuration

If it says:

Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes <---- this means that your bootloader is locked

Bootloader unlocked: Yes <---- this means that your bootloader is unlocked

One could also try Odin flashing an unsigned kernel. A locked bootloader will refuse the write.

Before you do that though, know that the attempt may brick your phone or increment Knox. So it's not recommended.

Edit: as you provided new information.

I have not heard of any 900F phones with locked bootloaders. 900F, H, T, W8 would normally have unlocked bootloaders. If in doubt ask your carrier.

Unfortunately, I have gotten one where the key layout is different (maybe it's the French layout) than what it shown on the box, which is the normal Eng-US layout. I am completely bummed about that. It still types as though it is the ENG-US keyboard, so it's confusing if I want to use the characters, or the alt characters over the numbers keys.

Thinner, lighter, smaller outside, yet bigger keys, all same functions, $89 vs $150, PLUS a trackpad: google "fire keyboard"

I have both. I love how the Samsung keyboard acts as a cover and a kickstand, without having to put any actual cover or case on the tablet. I hate covers and cases. And I love how it looks perfect matching the tablet. But I was really missing a trackpad. Touching the screen while in laptop mode just really awkward and annoying to me.

I've only had the tablet about 3 days so I'm still playing with both keyboards. For one thing, if I were going to use the Fire keyboard most of the time, I'd need to find, or make, some kind of book cover to attach the keyboard to, and to prop up the tablet. On the plus side I could stow a stylus there too.
