[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PittieInPink:
Hello,

This is my first post but I've been reading for months and months everything I could find here on ways to fix my M7. In the meantime I've bought an M8, call me crazy but I'd really like to get my M7 back up and running. I'm stubborn, but now it's time to ask for help :)

One day, a few months ago, I tried installing a custom splash screen. I kind of thought, well, this might brick it, but I can fix it. I had tested my backup but somewhere along the line it became corrupted and I didn't have a backup of my backup. Since then, I have tried flashing different recoveries (CWM, TWRP, Philz), tried converting to Google Play edition per the instructions I found on these forums, tried various RUU's, both zips and exe's. I edited the android-info.txt file to match what the phone said in "fastboot getvar all", I changed CID's where appropriate to match the RUU's, tried running with the bootloader locked and unlocked and still the closest to life I could bring this thing was stuck on a Google splash screen. It will not boot into recovery, although it seems to install a recovery. It just sits on "entering recovery". Even if I leave it there for a day thinking maybe it's just taking it's time.

So then I tried flashing the original firmware, and a copy of a Nandriod backup for version 3.23.666.1 for Bell, none of which has worked. I am unable to get any results from "adb devices" (it just returns a blank line), so pushing anything via adb won't work either. Adb does indeed work because I am able to access my M8 with adb commands.

I have tried all of this on Windows 7, Ubuntu (a few different version), and a MacBook.

Is there any hope for this phone? Here are the details:

It's unlocked and S-OFF, here are the results of getvar all:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
What was the error when trying to flash RUUs? it should be very easy to restore your phone with s-off. you could try the dev edition ruu

change cid to BS_US001:

fastboot oem writecid BS_US001
fastboot reboot-bootloader

then confirm the cid is correct:

fastboot oem readcid

then download this ruu.zip and save it to your adb/fastboot folder, rename it to "ruu" (ruu.zip)

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
fastboot reboot

btw your blank line when typing "adb devices" is normal. Adb doesnt work from the bootloader, only from a custom recovery of from the OS whit usb debug ON.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PittieInPink:
Good morning and thank you, I'm downloading the RUU you posted and will give it a try following all of your instructions.

I didn't actually get any error messages when flashing the RUU's, for the most part (when I had the correct cid etc) there were no error messages and it actually said successful on both the first and second executions of the flash command. It just wouldn't boot, it would get stuck on either the HTC or Google splash screen, depending which RUU I was trying.

No error logs either. I'm obviously doing something wrong eh? Fingers crossed the above works!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PittieInPink:
[MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]

I followed all of the above steps and got the RUU seemed to flash okay, it said "sucessful" both times. I ran the fastboot reboot command and it's just sitting on the white screen with the green htc logo.

if i have htc universal w/ tomtom 6.0.10 on it & it works great....but I dont want to always connect to the BT GPS receiver....I just want to use it kinda like a typical here to there map but w/out the instant GPS updates & locations & stuff....how can I turn it off?

if i just leave the BT gps out of range, TT6 won't work...it continually trys to searc for my device....

any advice would be great.

thanks,

I'm not sure about TT6, I'm still using TT5.

I use TT5 that way sometimes by going into the menu (just tap the screen)

then select the next arrow to browse the page.(i'm using a Dutch version, so I have to translate the best I can).

Then I select view map, top right option. I'm then presented with a map view on which I can zoom in/out and scroll. Als you can set waypoint or search streets by selecting the magnifying glass.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bonisalive:
Hi,

Don't connect your bt gps like another bt gps but like a wired gps with right port com. And TT doesn't manage your bt anymore...

hello,

i'm new here (i'm french so i hope you could understand - and solve - my problem).

First of all, so great thanks for Graveen. His post help me to install the Play Store in my THBK1 (link to post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2799404). I'm not a genious in hack and i understand computers just as well hieroglyph. So, Graveen, lot of thanks !

I just have a problem in rooting. I follow all the steps but, finally, my THBK1 is still not rooted yet (confirm by Root Checker).

The code is :

chmod 755 /mnt/system/bin/su

chmod u+s /mnt/system/bin/su

ln -s /mnt/system/bin/su /mnt/system/xbin/su

sync

So, what's wrong ?

I think there is a mistake somewhere. After several hours on net, i think i find the origin of my problem.

If the linux ls command in /mnt/system/xbin/su returns the good date of changing link (for me August 11th 2014), Robot Explorer returns January 01 1970 !!!

I read in a wiki linux that symbolic links are not updated. They must be remove first and recreated after.

I'm not a pro. So, if anyone could give me if this thing is the thing to do (give me the code please).

Thanks for your help

Detect an error in command but no rooted yet

After hours on searchs, i thought i had found the solution.:D

The problem fix in “ln” command.

There is : ln –s /mnt/system/bin/su /mnt/system/xbin/su

The good command is : ln –s system/bin/su /mnt/system/xbin/su

So I did. But verified by Root Checker, my system is not rooted. Damned !:crying:

I have this status in Id status : uid=10071(u0_a71) gid=10071(u0_a71) groups=1028(sdcard_r),3003(inet),50071(all_a71)

In Root Browser, I have this status for /system/bin/su : rwsr-sr-x and this status for /system/xbin/su : rwxrwxrwx.

Something is wrong ?

If I was root, my Id status should be uid(u0) gid (u0), no?:confused:

So, how could I do to gain root permissions ?

Thanks for reply.

Root THBK1 solved !

Hello,

After severals hours in search and some advices in another forum, i found why my root does not already match.

I don't know before that the "su" files match only with the application from which comes.

This "su" files needs the application named SuperUser v1.0.3.

So i did. When it works.:victory::victory:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
I'm helping a friend by a phone and I think the Moto G would be perfect for them. They only need the 8GB version. Rather than forking out £130 for the SIM free version, I was thinking they could get the £100 Vodafone locked version and then buy a network unlock code from ebay (they seem to go for less than £2). There is no plans to do anything else (i.e. no bootloader unlocking, no rooting, no custom ROM etc). They will be using an EE network SIM card but may also use international PAYG SIM cards too when travelling abroad.

Does network unlocking the phone alone void warranty? Does the Vodafone version have any bloatware? What other differences might there be?

TIA
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I believe under EU law, even unlocking the Bootloader doesn't void the warranty. Vodafone don't add any bloat. It's essentially the same as retail.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
That's great to know. Wonder why anyone would buy the SIM free version if that's true.

If you get this error even after having space then its always the play store error.

I found this tip on another forum.

Try installing this taskmanager, start wmp and then the task manager, close any apps you don't need to use and then set it to monitor system load.

http://www.iaccarino.de/silvio/ppcstuff.htm

No more skipping on my HBH-DS970! Perhaps it works for other stereo headsets to?

I'm listening now with the "Excellent" setting in Hermes Tweaker. Before launching this taskmanager as per above music would skip at least every 20 seconds - not now, no skipping and quite nice audioquality, it's so sweet!

I hope that there might be some clue for you tweaking gurus how to perhaps implement something perhaps in the Hermes Tweaker that does the same thing as running this Taskmanager.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] testdebug:
why no body respond to this thread since the whole forum is talking about solving bt stereo skipping problem? And this guy here said this problem is solved. Because nobody believe this is true? i can confirmed this is real. This method really solved the bt skipping problem. so what the hell you all waiting.

Faster download it and update the wiki!!! thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Moskus:
You can also use Magic Button...

I've never had a problem with A2DP skipping.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
I must say I'm very suprised to at the low interest! Where are the gurus that can figure this out and perhaps use it in the Hermes Tweaker or as a way of finding out how to improve things even further.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
I'm sorry but you have misunderstod this thing. I don't need a taskswitcher, but by using it as I mentioned above the probelm with skipping audio that most people experience with stereo bluetooth headsets are gone.

If you never had a problem with stereo audio skipping, what headset are you using? Have you used the Hermes Tweaker to improve the A2DP audio quality? Set it to Excellent and I think you will hear some skipping if you don't run the program mentioned.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
Nice to hear it works for you to, great audio! What BT headset are you using?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
As a workaround, its a bit kludgy.... What I am doing is researching the reasons why it works as an insight into the root cause. Perhaps that taskmanager's developer could enlighten us as to what he's actually doing to "monitor system load". I might fire him off a message on this ITNF.... If it doesn't slow down the TyTN drastically, I could develop a service that just does this in the background.

At any rate, I'll be loading up the fix today to play around....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
Great to hear!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Hiryu:
Tried it, installed the Task Manager, set the BT audio quality to Excellent with the fit4cat Hermes Tweak tool and I still get skipping.

Is there any difference between using Windows Media or PocketMusic to play audio?

I have the Jabra BT620s headset. :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
Well, this solution does help the skip but does not eliminate it on my iPAQ headset. The problem sounds more like a scratch on a record now than a full breakup and as such is more bearable. Perhaps theres a way to tune this further with A2DP registry settings. I'm running a bitpool of 58 with maxbitpool set to 80 currently.

Damn.... As I was writing this, the skipping just stopped! WTF ????

Maybe A2DP just chose a different bitpool value. Everything's running perfectly now!

edit: the skipping returns when I quit the taskmanager and stops again when I run it so the taskmanager is definitely involved here.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
I don't know what bitpool the Hermes Tweaker sets, but setting it to good prouces a lot of hissing sound, going to "Excellent" it sounds very good on the HBH-DS970.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
@Moskus: plz elaborate on how you're using magic button to correct the skipping problem? Also, what BT stereo headset are you using?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jompao:
Did you also run the Task manager and set it to monitor system load, so you see the graph on the screen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Hiryu:
Yes I did.

I tried plying audio with Windows Media and PocketMusic, both have the same problem. Music plays and at random intervals it drops out (silence, but audio plays) after a few seconds audio resumes.

edit:It does however look like it is skipping less when I use the Task Manager.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DenisJ:
What you stop ?

I installed also and i have same skip problem ...

Tell me one think ... after a soft reset, what programs you stop on task manager ?

I stop all prorams but i have a lot in the process tab also.

Can you post your reg values and where in reg must put that values please ?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eppyramot:
I tried it and I can get no skipping with bitpool set at 48. i cant go higher. This is better than before. But I have another issue. I just upgraded to the 1.35 rom, but b4 i had the cingular. Over the tytn is zippier with the new rom, but in both cases a2dp dies (even with the new kludge) if my maxsupportedbitpool is greater than 30. I presume this limits the bitpool at 30 anyway.

Also it may be me but it seems when i first start p the taskmaster it shows CPU running about 15-20% higher than after a few seconds of running it. Does it somehow kick in some other mode? Finally I guess this makes sense but the CPU works harder with higher rate encoded mp3 files (with 320kbps files it was running at 70-80%, with 192kps files at 50-55%). Does this make sense (I never thought about it b4).

Finally with bitpool set at 30, i can listen to internet radio (virgin UK!!!) over wifi and use bt headphones with no skipping, as long as task manager is running. Could not do that b4. But sound is less than perfect.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] soofi1:
No Doubt, it is good discovery, I had Wiki stereo BT headset, It is working perfectly while set Medium, high or excellent in A2DP profile (Fit4Cat) alongwith Task Manager running in background (Minimize), But if I do not start task manager in parallel, The default skipping problem come back.

Basically, My skipping was ok since I bought Nokia HS12w, But Now I am in position to use Wiki stereo HS, as Wiki had long battery life then Nokia. Of course LCD & some other are plus in Nokia HS12W, But LCD does not have major role as Caller ID BT stakes are not working yet. Therefore WiKi is still good Choice if used for stereo MP3.

Thanks . Jompao . to make my stereo BT HS alive. BTW It is observed unmatched stereo Quality if set to excellent (no distortion)
