[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Like others have said, plan to pay $25 for SunShine. If you can S-OFF with the free tools, that's great (I was able to) but you just might have to pay. Consider that before jumping. S5 can be rooted for free with TowelRoot, then you can flash TWRP/CWM and be on your way.

The big thing about coming from any Samsung to anything else is you will automatically get better signal. Samsung goes to the dollar store for their radios/modems, and they buy refurbished to boot. (Not literally, but it seems like it.) I came from the S3 on a different carrier. Night. And. Day. I went from having to put my phone in the kitchen windowsill to make or receive calls. Now I can make or receive calls in bed. Part of that is Verizon's network, as opposed to the other one... but Samsung radio quality (or rather the lack thereof) is well documented. The S5 is newer, but the S3 was widely considered the best smartphone of all time for a good little while there.

To its credit, the S3 seemed to have better ROM compatibility. Except when it didn't. Most of the time it was just fine running AOSP-based firmware. Then it would act up. "Cannot connect to camera." Reboot. Get a few more pictures, then it happens again. Reboot. And it would always do it at birthday parties when I really needed a dependable camera. But for the most part it was golden. The One M8? Just doesn't feel right using anything but Sense. I don't use Blinkfeed and I think I'm about to replace their locker with WidgetLocker, and I wish I could replace their quick settings toggles (I really just want flashlight and screen off in there), but the ROM itself (well, CleanROM) is rock solid. It's no longer like, "My phone is okay, but _____," it's more like, "I have the best smartphone on the market."

Have you ever seen an ad for a smartphone, looked at yours and said, "Gee, I wish I had THAT phone?" Or maybe not an ad, maybe a spy show, something like 24? When the latest season of 24 started, I had my Galaxy S3, and they're up there rocking Galaxy S5, iPhone 5S, and I forget what else... I think it was a Windows Phone 8.1 model... and it's like, "Okay, my phone's 2 years old, of course the spies on 24 have better phones." But then I got my One M8, and it's like, "Wow... I have a better phone than Chloe O'Brian, or any of the CIA/Secret Service people... Nobody on this show has a better phone than I do." It's a good feeling, to see someone rocking an awesome phone on TV, and to be able to think, "Mine's better." Or maybe it's just me. And I'm usually not like that.

There is a zip file that will add the flashlight and other tiles here somewhere

Came from the S3. It was a great phone but after switching to the M8 don't miss my S3 or Sammy and their locked down crap anymore.

Is there something ou there that does this?

I'm a proud owner of a MPX200 with WM5 and also a Qtek S200.

On the MPX200 I had tested an application that scrolled on the display all the appointments and tasks. Is there something like this that works on the Qtek or any other PDA for that...

If it's any good, i'm posting the link for the Smartphone original program:

[General Questions and Answers] valueseeker77:
Hi,

I broke the screen on my Nexus 5 while on a long holiday. I can still see about three quarters of the screen but the touch screen is basically busted, and as a result, I can't unlock the phone to get the data off. I backed up 90% of the photos via Dropbox but there is one week of photos I couldn't upload and there are also some really nice videos I'd like to get off.

Is there any way to sync to the file system without unlocking via the touchscreen? I don't think I have debugging disabled (I'm not particularly development savvy) so not sure what my options are...

I have a little time before I need to send the phone to LG for repair, so I'm willing to mess with this a bit and learn whatever I need to learn. I think I saw a thread somewhere detailing how it's down for the nexus 4 but not sure if it's applicable to the 5 as well...
[General Questions and Answers] Lokke9191:
I believe you can use fastboot to flash a custom recovery. Then use said recovery (twrp) to back up your data. Then copy that backup file to your computer. Actually I'd do a full nandroid backup.

You should ask in the nexus 5 forums as opposed to the general forums. The people in their are a special sort of geniuses.
[General Questions and Answers] droidagnostic:
Sorry to hear about your phone.

I think you should be able to access it using ADB commands

I f that doesn't work for you might try posting over on the Nexus 5 Forum

Hope that helps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] amack10:
I need some help fixing my phone. I used control bear for windows to obtain s off. All went well and I sim unlocked and everything. Then I factory reset my phone and that were the trouble started. It won't read any sim so I I tried to nand restore from when my phone did worrk but it says it can't. Mount sd. I tried nand restoring thru adb and that doesn't work either. I'm not really sure what to do now so any help would be greatly appreciated
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
You factory reset from bootloader?

If yes... You'll need to flash twrp recovery... Mount your emmc via USB... Plug into windows... Let windows format it...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] amack10:
Yes that's exactly what I did. How do I let windows format my emmc. I also did a ruu to stock before I red this. I am soff

Edit unlocked boot loader
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] amack10:
so i did both is there any other steps. still neither sim or sd works
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I need more info if that didn't work...

Does it boot...

What ROM is on it...

Does fastboot work on your computer...

Did the ruu succeed?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JozayG2:
I am a newbie to custom ROMs, I am looking for a ROM which will increase battery life and also let me remove bloatware, a new UI will be a bonus but so many of the custom ROMs I have come across have so many unnecessary bonus features. I am looking for any recommendations for a ROM?

Thanks

[Moto X Q&A] IVIanuu:
Is it possible to only flash the system.img of the 4.4.4 Verizon en-US Version without bricking the device?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
It shouldn't brick your device, but you might find that some things don't work. Then again, it might work fine. If your device is already in an unusable state, you might do this to hold you over until the FULL SBF of the rom you want to flash is leaked....

Good Luck

[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Hey guys, I haven't been able to make this work, but reportedly it can be done. How can I get CyanogenMod on the LS980ZVA radio?

Part 2: after I do that can I use a TWRP backup to go back to stock? I ultimately want to be able to switch back and forth. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
Only kernel that supported ZVA radio on cm11 was Furnace but it was a few versions ago. I think v2.0.
[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
Okay. If I flash Furnace can I then switch back and forth via Nandroid backup?
[Shield Tablet General] minijaws:
Found these while digging around the nvidia update site. All "do" or "mo" are for the data and modem/wifi versions. flash at your own risk.

EDIT: Now you can check when there are updates for yourself.

[Shield Tablet General] danomat1073:
So which one is for the US 16 gig WiFi only version that most of us have?
[Shield Tablet General] jasonsplace:
Any of the roms with wx_na_wf in the name are for the US WiFi version. I installed ota.nvidia.com/ota/rom/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-incremental_ota-from-20258_426.6902-to-20258_434.7217.zip and it works just fine. I haven't noticed anything different though.
[Shield Tablet General] danomat1073:
Aohh, ok thanks for the information.
[Shield Tablet General] soulslay3r:
Does this include all the original software that comes pre-installed on the shield tablet.
[Shield Tablet General] kossiewossie:
How do you flash these updates?

Edit: Nvm, Realised you gotta boot into recovery via USB debugging, using the Shield portable drivers. and then "Adb sideload --.zip file"

Side note, If anymore OTA links come up please sure! thanks!
[Shield Tablet General] minijaws:
You can also use flashify from the play store if you are rooted.
[Shield Tablet General] kossiewossie:
oh damn, that would of been easier! Thanks!
[Shield Tablet General] osho741:
Do you need a custom recovery image to flash the updates with flashify or will it work without one? Also if you do need a recovery image which o e works?
[Shield Tablet General] Keithn:
I'm going to assume stock since its an ota directly from nvidia

Sent from my SHIELD Tablet
[Shield Tablet General] you5urf:
is ther an international wifi only variant?

Doesn't matter. Just noticed that the North america wifi is the same one launched worldwide.

So is the modem and wif the variant with voice call capability? Then this would be the phablet of the year!
[Shield Tablet General] kossiewossie:
I flashed it, and haven't noticed all that much, WIFI signal seems fine for me, it seems little smoother. but that could just be placebo, no crashing and no overheating. been using this for about 3 hours hooked up to my TV playing PSP emulator. And only lost about 15% battery, currently using the Optimize profile for the shield.
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
has anyone tried the full ota.nvidia.com/ota/rom/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-20808_428.9450.zip

looks like a lot higher build number.

EDIT:

comes up as a much earlier build date, so won't install.
[Shield Tablet General] kossiewossie:
That's odd, a lot higher build number but older? Ill download it and take a deeper look. thanks for sharing!
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
yeah recovery errored out with can't install an older build over a newer one.

I think the dates were 28 July versus 10th August..

Very odd numbering system - I wonder if [MENTION=3869474]agrabren[/MENTION] could throw any light onto the build numbering?
[Shield Tablet General] kossiewossie:
Btw how are you viewing these OTA? Is there a link to keep my eye on them
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
I'm not sure where that list came from.

I didn't know about it till today (but I only got the shield tablet today).
[Shield Tablet General] osho741:
Yeah would be nice to get an address to the site these are coming from to see if anything newer is out. Going to root of the update site just gives permission denied error.
[Shield Tablet General] minijaws:
I pulled the url scema from the device and looked at all the id's surrounding it I can post the full list if anyone wants. It has new unreleased firmwares for the tn7 and the portable.
[Shield Tablet General] kossiewossie:
Ohh yes please! im interested in the portable!
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
Don't think the LTE was even out when the first page went up, pretty much all the discussion was about the WiFi version.
[Shield Tablet General] BlackDave:
Not to mention the Title of the post is not specific to the LTE version.

Yeah that's what I did last night. Thing that bugged me was that I found out my scheduled backups from Titanium Backup hadn't been running.
[Shield Tablet General] GMrMadrigal:
Please could somebody give me the link for the us lte version, I saw it out there but I don't remember where!:fingers-crossed:
[Shield Tablet General] BlackDave:
Adrixan's link is for the LTE version. At least it will serve you.

For those who accidentally flashed the LTE version on their wifi, I got it working by flashing the Wifi version and wiping the data but I also had to format the internal memory as I lost access to it. Also, use CMW to flash instead of TWRP because it doesn't properly flash it for some reason (some apps will have artifacts and some apps like reddit sync and imgur will not display images anymore).
[Shield Tablet General] GMrMadrigal:
Black Dave thanks, :D It's always nice to see people interested on help other inexpert members and I really appreciate that. What you have give me is for the update, but what I was looking for is for restore the device because It froze! I finally could downloaded from the NVIDIA Developers web and I have uploaded it to my Dropbox, I hope It is not illegal and I can keep the link here for anyone who need it.

I downloaded the file https://jawz.ca/nv-recovery-image-shield-tablet-factory.zip (from the homepage), extracted the image folder and zipped it.

[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
I'm with you on wondering if anyone grabbed the wx_un_mo versions.

wx_un_do = LTE , unlocked, RoW (current data only version)

wx_na_wf = Wifi

wx_na_do = LTE , unlocked, US AT&T branded.

wx_un_mo = ???? (could this have possibly been the previously planned and now MIA version that allowed calling?)

It would be interesting if anyone has any of the wx_un_mo builds and can confirm what they are? Possibly the previously planned (and what seems to have gone silent) version that was supposed to allow calling?
[Shield Tablet General] fards:
Of you get sideload error you may need to get update to add.

It changed
[Shield Tablet General] zarish:
To answer myself while all the wx_un_mo links appear to be dead, there is one version I found that works.

http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/rom/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_un_mo-full_ota-24526_447.6867.zip

Mirror: https://mega.co.nz/#!akQhEb7Q!tQyLSvivW7E__Gogzg4rdqG7cbB4m5uLUKOZc-3w7Xo

That is the build that equates to 1.2 OTA.

There does not appear to be a valid match to the 1.2.1, 2.0, or 2.1 OTA for wx_un_mo.

Downloading it now, but not feeling well, so likely not going to even look at it today (not that I would even know what to look for directly like that).

I'm on lollipop root with cwm ..my question is am I able to flash one of these OTA's back to KitKat using cwm?
[Shield Tablet General] kickassdave:
You need to use Fastboot to flash these.

Although I'm really still amazed nobody has made a ROM based on the Stock OS... if anything it would at least mean there is always a much faster root back to stock.
[Shield Tablet General] ailima:
Yep, well many people find the stock rom unstable, so it makes a lousy base for a custom rom. ;)

Also, the stock rom is close enough to aosp. A large reason for many custom roms is to get rid of the stock bloat or manufacturer skins. There's no compelling reason to do that with this stock rom.
[Shield Tablet General] rwilco12:
I've actually got one 99% of the way built. Unfortunately there's an issue with some of the permissions where it tricks the OS into thinking specific files are 0kb files instead of the actual file it was prior to applying permissions. It was the unfortunate side effect of making the file unusable. I've got all of it working except for a few files that have to do with connectivity. Everything boots, no FC's, no problems running it as long as you don't need internet... lol

[Shield Tablet General] kossiewossie:
Has there been any new OTA available?
[Shield Tablet General] Keithn:
Does anyone know how they name their builds? I can look into the build.prop for the build date but that would require downloading every one of them. I was also able to get it to flash with cwm by modifying the updater script.
[Shield Tablet General] cam30era:
I don't know how they name their builds, but you can look in settings/about the phone/build number, and you will see the relevant build number their for your current firmware.
[Shield Tablet General] Keithn:
Yes, but that doesn't really help with figuring out the build date. I've looked through a couple of them and Aug 10 seems to be the newest.

Also if anyone wants to be able to flash in cwm then open up the updater script in a text editor and replace "shieldtablet" with "wx_na_wf". Also on the incremental remove the lines for the date and build fingerprint. The recovery doesn't give it the values it is looking for. You just have to make sure you double check the incremental against your current built if you go that route.

Prisim / Dynamic Brightness added to settings :D
[Shield Tablet General] jasonsplace:
I just installed it and Prism appears to be the only new thing. I'd really like an update that fixes the problem with playing videos in the Play Store, Reddit Sync and other apps. NVidia acknowledged that they had a fix a couple days after the tablet came out yet it still hasn't been fixed. There are a lot of pretty major bugs that I thought would have been fixed within a week but it isn't so.
[Shield Tablet General] minijaws:
The fact that this update was 80Mb tells me there is a little bit more then a settings toggle as this is an incremental and only contains what has changed. Another thing that I think is new is that the stock AOSP camera is here now. someone let me know if that was not there before.
