I know this might be redundant but have you tried doing adb shell, su and then wipe data and cache from there?

I'm just brainstorming and trying to help with the limited knowledge that I have :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
I did the following

adb shell

su

wipe data

it gave me a string of errors that the filesystem is read only. same with cache. so I am correct in assuming that the permissions are set to read only. anyone know how to get it to be read/write
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] noobsquared:
I did a quick search and found this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18918456/android-2-3-read-only-file-system-stuck

I know you can remount as writable or you can do chmod 777 for writable permissions but you have to mount it as su first. I may be wrong but I think that is what you have to do. Maybe someone more experienced can chime in? It seems like that may be the problem that somehow all your partitions are read-only.

Edit:

Have you tried this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2702563
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
yes - and I have tried to install a new kernel with wp disabled - that put the phone into a state where it wouldn't do anything and like it was off -

I had to hold power+volume up to get it to reboot
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] noobsquared:
Then try the first post maybe? Try to mount the system as writable and see what happens? Maybe try to copy some dummy apk in system through adb shell as su?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
ive tried to mount the system as writable. any copy movement reboots the phone

I'm about to give up. I don't see how the whole phone could have become read only - including the boot/recovery
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] noobsquared:
Don't give up man, we can do this.

Have you tried using another computer for adb stuff? Do you have latest adb and toolkit? Can you try with a Windows 8 PC/laptop maybe? You should ask Admins to move this thread to regular HTC One main thread where you might get more experienced people to chime in. Nobody visits the AT&T M8 section anymore :(
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
I have tried 3 different computers with both win 7 and win8/8.1

the filesystem on the phone is def read only. how this happened I have no idea. I looked and the last app that got installed was 6 days before the crash.

I even tried this

http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/2013/10/fix-data-htc-one.html

it ran just like it should with no errors. phone reboots and low and behold every file is still perfectly intact. I did change the 37 to 47 because of where the data partition is on the phone
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
just for kicks I decided to check the properties in file explorer on the folders. they aren't set to read only. I don't know if this is a low level hw or sw issue
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] noobsquared:
I don't think Windows would be smart enough to notice anything wrong with EXT4 formatted partitions but I may be wrong.

I went to step 1 of the issue of symlink and someone said that you can't just go back to sense rom from GPE since partitions are different:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2779112&page=2

More on that here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2733523

Did you RUU to GPE? How did you do that without S-Off? Everything I'm reading, you need S-Off to get to GPE and then that is what helps going back too?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
Hahaha no es file explorer on the phone. As soon as I check the data folder permissions I get a reboot. I never converted to a GPE edition. Or anything. Just loaded a regular google ROM with no sense or bloatware.

Even then I shod still be able to modify at least the recovery partition. Let's not lose sight of the fact that no data whatsoever will write to the internal memory . I've chalked it up to a hw failure and got a new phone. For kicks I'm gonna send it to HTC and see what they say. They won't denh warranty just because its unlocked with custom recovery and ROM. Only if that caused the issue. If it is what I think it is the device will be covered.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] SonicCube:
Hi, I actually got one Verizon M8 acting exactly like yours. The entire eMMC became read only.

It's just like watching "Edge of Tomorrow". Phone will reboot within 2-3 min booting into OS.

What's worse is that this M8 only has stock recovery with s-on.

Also tried with stock 0P6BIMG.ZIP in bootloader mode or fastboot command line without luck.

I have found several others with Verizon M8 having same issue with no solution.

I am still hoping this is a bootloader basic I/O bug instead of a stupid eMMC failure.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
Yah I figured it was a low level I/o function or hw issue. either way I am going to send mine in.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] noobsquared:
Man, that's a scary though. I hope mine won't do anything crazy like that. I will have to figure out a way to get back to stock ASAP then.

To the OP, I didn't know you got another phone in the meantime. I am glad you have a backup while phone goes to HTC. I hope they can figure it out and fix the issue. Still interested in finding out what the problem is.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Have you tried simply connected to Windows, and trying to reformat the internal storage in Device Manager (as I suggested in Post #40)?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
YES - the device instantly reboots when trying that.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
Honestly I don't think it is a problem with unlocked bootloader/rom/recovery - I think this is a hw failure or bootloader issue. If you look at the Verizon post on the last page he says he is on the stock rom with s-on and it is doing the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more of these
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] noobsquared:
Man, that's a scary thought. I'm tempted to use the OnePlus One invitation I got sitting in the mailbox and just have it as a backup if this phone will eventually crap out on me. I've gotten S-off and since bootloader is unlocked and all..not sure if warranty is good anymore. Have you tried contacting AT&T about it if it is indeed hardware issue?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
AT&T honors the warranty regardless of S-off, unlocked bootloader, etc. As long as you are a current account holder, you have a 1 year warranty.

If you have a OnePlusOne invite, you should just but it regardless. Even if you don't want to keep it, invites are few and far between; and you can probably get a premium price for selling it.

But I wouldn't worry about the M8 crapping out any more than any other phone. emmc's just crap out sometimes, it happens.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] d.l33t:
Yah I called att and they are sending me a new phone after 15 minutes of explaining how I knew it was read only and wouldn't restore . 4-6 days to get my new one. Good news is the new phone I bought I can take back within 14 days. So that's a plus
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] SonicCube:
It won't work as you simply can't touch the / root. It's the entire internal memory, not just internal storage.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] noobsquared:
That's pretty awesome. AT&T has had the best customer support I've had in years. Glad all your issues will be resolved and taken care of :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Yup, I understand that. But as pretty much all options were exhausted, it was worth a try and couldn't hurt.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] SonicCube:
I guess we are not alone. Seems this happens after upgrading to 4.4.2 in most cases.

Excessive i/o bug? H/W write cycle lock?

On a separate note, OP, what did you buy to use as a backup while M8 was down?

No, you don't need to deodex.

1. Open Camera app at least once (if you haven't already), so it can set up its settings. Maybe take a picture too, just to be safe.

2. Download and install Xposed and Xperia Mods from link above.

3. Download 4K + Timeshift zip file. http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2786475&stc=1&d=1402194839

Problems getting this mod work

Hello guys, I've got a problem getting this stuff working with my Z1, makes me really mad...

C6903 - Updated from an earlier firmware with flashtool (without clearing data) - C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_DE - Bootloader Unlocked

First, I think deodexing my ROM didnt work in any way - tried 2 different deodex-patches for this firmware - flashed them both in CWM/PhilZ/TWRP (in PhilZ I get error 7 when trying to flash, so I've tried it with CWM and TWRP - both say successful. Wiped cache/dalvik after. When I look into the /system/apps folder with ES Explorer or any other root-explorer, I still see the odex files... I don't really know what the problem is - Even resetted my phone now to factory stance just to make sure it doesnt interfere with any other apps. Rooted the phone with EasyRootTool v12.1 and installed NUTs DualRecovery on my old ROM-installation and the new factory reseted one. Some people say it doesn't need to be deodexed to function - still it doesn't work for me - The recoveries still say success when patching, but I just dont see the new 4K function in my Sony cam app.

Other things I've tried:

-Updated Xposed and the Framework

-This patch without Xposed/Serajrs Mod and uninstalled Framework: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z1/themes-apps/superuser-mod-108-fw-120fps-camera-t2858356

TWRP Log:

http://pastebin.com/pMSvYJZy (flashing begins at line 370)

Just as I was about to copy the log, I saw it myself that there are problems with the permissions. Already tried to fix this with the CWM/TWRP permission fixers - but doesn't seem to work. Also tried to access /system with aroma filemanager in recovery and only can see a bin folder without any files in it. Aroma filemanager says, system has rwxr-xr-x permissions - I'm fairly new with flashing/rooting/deodexing on stock ROMs - Had a HTC Desire Z before and ran Cyanogenmod on it since the very beginning, never had such problems - every flashing/modding part worked fine without errors.

Any ideas?

Edit: Reflashed my phone with the original firmware, this time deleting everything - Flashed Doomlords custom kernel/boot.img with integrated CWM and flashed SuperSU 2.02 with it - Tried then to install Busybox with BusyBox Installer + BusyBox from playstore - Both apps don't want to install busybox, no matter what version. Followed exactly Doomlords root manual in post #2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2632808 - It just won't work...

Thank you in advance!

Hey all,

Today is not my day...just not paying attention. I accidentally replaced my build.prop file with a modified version but forgot to change the permissions so now I am boot looping. I can still access TWRP, so I was curious if there is any way to get a new build.prop file onto the phone so I do not have to do a full wipe. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, if its possible to flash onto the phone, does anyone have the build.prop file I can use? Thanks in advance.
[Moto X Q&A] JustROLLIN:
I guess I can also access the bootloader for fastboot, if that makes a difference. Thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
You can either use mfastboot to flash the entire system. IMG for the rom you are using (easiest). Or use adb from within recovery to fix permissions on the build.prop....

Good luck :good:

Edit: re flashing just system will not affect you data. Only any modifications made to /system. For instance: if you are using xposed, it will need to be reinstalled. All other apps will be unaffected.
[Moto X Q&A] JustROLLIN:

Hey guys, I just received the notification about the above mentioned update being available for my phone. Who has experience with this update and can tell me, if I should update or not. I mean the phone is running quite good on 4.4.2 so why change a running machine? But on the other hand... We all like the new cool stuff, dont we? :D so whats better and whats worse after the update and how can i pull the file without root? So others can use it if they want to.

Thanks in advance and I hope the answer isnt mentioned here already, cause I couldnt find it within the last hour or so...
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
There is a thread in general regarding the 4.4.4 rollout. While it isn't necessary to update, the phone will keep nagging you to install the update unless you either accept it, or use root to disable update notifications.
[Moto X Q&A] devilsdouble:
What's better? Well it shows 4.4.4 under Android version number instead of 4.4.2 :D

No seriously, the only change I have noticed are : A much brighter flash for taking photos. Maybe the daylight photos have changed too, I honestly have no idea, no real time to test that.

Since upgrading to 4.4.4 I now can connect my phone to my Bravia via Mircast, if that matters to you.

There is a new Dialler app, which is meaningless IMHO, still sucks big time.

And some security related updates have been made, about which I literally have no idea.

No, the phone does NOT run more smoothly than on 4.4.2, it's just same. If you are happy with 4.4.2 then there is no point.

By the way, no, without root you can't pull the OTA zip file from the phone.
[Moto X Q&A] N00BY0815:
Thanks for the answers. But shouldnt it be possible to adb pull the update? And where is it located and is it downloaded already or would i have to allow the update first?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
All OTAs are located in /cache

AFAIK, you cannot access /cache (even with ADB pull) without being rooted. I could definitely be wrong about this, so you are welcome to try. Once in adb shell, try to 'cd' to /cache and get a directly listing with 'ls'. My guess is that you won't be able to without su privileges, but let me know if that is not the case.

Once you install the OTA, it is permanently erased from /cache, and it is gone forever. I'm not sure why you are interested in pulling it though -- all of the XT1052 OTAs have already been pulled and posted by others. You can find all this in the very link I posted in my first reply to you.

Good Luck!
[Moto X Q&A] N00BY0815:
Oh ok, didnt know, they have all been posted already. Just didnt wanna read up 40 pages or more.
