Um.... First why do you wanna root ? and did you know that your phones warrenty will get nullified if you root it. So do you still wanna root it?

Its quite easy tho if you want to.

For rooting go to this thread.

N free paid apps can be installed without rooting your device. Either download cracked apk from google or use blackmart market.

testing

Downloaded a few hours ago. Booted first try, had an issue with supersu but worked through that. It is pretty smooth so far. Messaging works. Have not tested camera or video or Bluetooth calling. Only issue so far is screen flashes s on/off when call connects but I think that is probably after market screen and not the build; although I do think it has something to do with the kernel. Let you know more as I go forward.
[HTC Droid DNA] pandasa123:
Great :) I'm using the cm m7 kernel for now. I'll experiment with other kernel repos.

Is there another one you recommend?
[HTC Droid DNA] dickcruz:
Hey,

I wanted to thank you guys for the ROM.

It's way cooler than all the blinkfeed one floating around :)

I know that you are looking for a bugs. I've been using it for three days now and I've noticed a couple of things :

First, that su wasn't working right off the bat. That's easy to fix though.

The other thing that bothered me was that the apps off the play store aren't downloading on the first attempt. They sort of fail with an error code a couple of times.

The recent apps panel that shows up on the right doesn't have the most recent app until you open it a second time or you wait a while.

And for some reason, the spacebar on the keyboard doesn't trigger 100% of the time. I don't know if that's just because of the way I type or the fact that I'm used to the HTC keyboard on this phone.

Other than that, I haven't noticed any glitches or reboots or any other random stuff.

Keep up the good work.

JC Hoelt, the lead developer of the iOS InAppPurchase plugin is collecting money on Indiegogo to turn his plugin in a a multi-platform (Android and iOS) In-App-Purchase solution, the idea would be to provide as much abstraction of the platform as possible, yet giving access to platform specific APIs.

Here's the link to the IndieGoGo campain: igg.me /at/cordova-iap/x/8416559

Hello

I installed an application that gives me the option to install its database on a path of my choice.

So I would like to install it on the external memory but I can not set the path to the external memory.

Knowing that the default path is / sdcard / My application. This makes the database to be installed in the internal memory.

I tried /storage/extSDCard/ but I get the message 'no such directory'.

Ok, how about create a folder and point to there? Example create a folder called "Myfile" than use /storage/extSDCard/Myfile/ <-- give it a shot. If it still not working, them it most likely the app itself or Kernel/rom related issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbyman:
I did so but it didn't work

I need someone who has galaxy s4 mini and try himself on his phone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tool.offline.translation.dictionary&hl=fr

In fact the application is small and looks like 'google translate'. I can move the application to the sd card without difficulty.

the problem is that once the application is installed, I have to download language packages which are a bit big.

By default, the application installs these packages in the internal memory. But it gives me the option to change the path to another directory.

What I seek is to define a path that will allow the application to install these packages in the external sd card.

Hi all,

I have rooted my phone and have put a custom rom on it. I wish to keep it rooted but go back to stock rom. Any help please would be appreciated. I have s-off at the moment,

thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Follow nkk71's Guide to Return to Stock! Use it as a guide since you want to remain rooted and are already S-OFF. Please note: if you run a RUU it will revert the custom recovery to stock recovery. After the RUU is run successfully, you can install a custom recovery and then root afterwards. Since, you are S-OFF you want to remain S-OFF.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackenzie121:
Sorry my mistake its s-On. Will the guide still work?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bboybtek:
Hi all! First of all I'm sorry if this has been asked previously but after 3 hours of searching I was unable to find a straight answer and I have tenths of bookmarks opened...

Right so, just got my "new" (used) phone delivered today. 6 months old, currently running stock 4.4.2 with Sense 6.0 under the GiffGaff network. Straight away I went and tried to flash a new ROM onto it (flashed a few roms previously to my HTC Sensation with no problems). So just the usual routine: fastboot > HTCdev > get token ... and here where the first problem occurred. I couldn't get the token as I was getting the following error:

(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.010s]

finished. total time: 0.010s
​

Restarting the phone/PC didn't help, changing USB debug on/off also didn't help. Fastboot unlock oem command didn't work either as it gave me the same error. So I went and downloaded the Hasoon2000's AIO tool to see if that will work but again no luck. When hitting the "Get Token ID" I get an error that the phone is offline - . - . So I had a little search on the net and found out that maybe it's due to my HBOOT version which is 1.57 and is S-ON . However I have no idea how to change that nor if it'll actually solve my problem and I don't want to do anything outside the box so that I don't get my phone bricked.

Any ideas what might be wrong/what am I doing wrong/solutions? I'm clueless at the moment and about to run out of patience... Any help is more then welcome :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
usb debug doesn't matters in bootloader, only in the OS or in recovery for adb commands.

this command is blocked, so it will not work.

Hasoon2000 did a great job with his toolkit, but I recommend (and many others) not using toolkits. use fasboot and adb directly from the command window, much better when you are trying to find what doesnt work. Be sure to have the latest sdk on your computer, and latest htc drivers. Also make sure to use 2.0 usb ports, not 3.0

What is the output of "fastboot devices" ?

not sure about that, I really doubt you can't unlock bootloader because of hboot 1.57.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bboybtek:
Thanks for the reply mate. I watched the video again but I had no luck. However, thanks to that video I went and downloaded the huge SDK archive from HTC site. Instead of using the small archive with "essential" files for the adb, I used the one from HTC site (it has many more files in adb folder) and guess what, it worked! O.o Now, I'm very happy that I finally unlocked it but my question now is, why didn't it work with just the "essential" files? All tutorials videos/forum posts etc. mentioned just the 4 files and not the big HTC package so if it wasn't for the fact that I was desperate I don't think I would of ever unlock this biatch...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bboybtek:
Right, instead of creating a new thread I'm just going to ask here. So I successfully unlocked the device and using this video I tried to root the phone. Everything went smoothly, all successful and so on. However when I downloaded the root checker it gives me a message saying the the device is not properly rooted :eek: . I then tried with firewater s-off but no luck here either. I've attached the image of how my cmd looks when trying the firewater method. I really thought it's going to be a bit easier to flash this phone... Any advice here guys?

Edit: I just realised that the phone is still S-ON...how did this happen even tho I successfully installed everything that's required...? :(

Edit2: Tried the temp-root method with firewater but even this doesn't work. I'm getting an error and fail messages (image attached). I think I've run out of ideas here :/
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
first, why are you trying to s-off? s-off is not required to flash custom roms (except for GPE roms), only an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery (twrp 2.6.3.3) are needed. You definitively need a fully rooted phone to use firewater and an unsecured kernel would also help. Btw almost all custom roms out here are pre-rooted, so just flash a rom and you'll be fine.

and that video you have linked is very outdated, twrp 2.5.0.0 lol. just flash twrp 2.6.3.3 and then boot in recovery. Quit the recovery and you'll be prompted to install root.

but anyway, is your goal is to flash a custom rom, you don't need to root before, they are all (almost) pre-rooted.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bboybtek:
I got lost a little bit with all the tutorials I found, that's why I thought I need s-off lol. I know the video is a bit old that's why I used twrp 2.7.1.1 with SU 3.2 . I'm planning on installing ViperOne rom so I'm just going to go ahead and try that and hopefully everything will be working. Thanks again for the reply mate :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
Make a backup using TWRP first..

Also the file you should have used should be SuperSU-2.02.. but if you are going to flash a new rom, point is moot.

yeah I've installed a new rom and everything is running perfectly fine! Thanks for the tips chaps! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] phonepad:
Hi all,

just wondering about an issue, that must concern many who have two SIMcards, one for business and one private.

I normally have my private SIM card in the device (TRION), so that when I call friends, they see its me through my caller ID. I have my business SIM card diverted, so calls are transferred to my private number.

The trouble is, I cant see on which card the call is coming in, since I cant allways identify if its a business or private call by the caller ID in my display, cause sometimes I just dont knwo the number or there isnt any. After hours I just dont want to take business calls, but taking out the diversion is to much effort.

Nokia devices have a little arrow that indicates this. Does anyone have a clue for WM5 ??

Greetings

post the output of "fastboot getvar all" except the IMEI and SERIALNO so we can determine what are your options (1st step in the guide btw)

have you made a nandroid backup before flashing a custom rom?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackenzie121:
Post the output?

And I think I did. Can't remember lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you have flashed a rom, so you should know how to use ADB and FASTBOOT commands right? if not, there are many guide out there that explain everything, just do a quick search on google: "how to use fastboot"

fastboot getvar all

then copy/paste the output here (except IMEI and SERIALNO so we can see what version exactly of the HTC one you have and so determine what options you have. (restore using a nandroid backup, a guru reset rom, or a ruu)

"can't remember" is not a valuable answer, we need yes or no if you want us to be able to help you.

When I can't remember how to spell a word, I look in the dictionary :laugh: same principle apply here, if you can't remember if you have made a nandroid backup then look in the phone's storage if there is any.... or boot in recovery and check if there is any backup stored. ;) :D

if you have one, it will be easier so you might want to take 30 sec of your time and check ;)

---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

yes this matter if your hboot is 1.44, your phone will not be able to connect in fastboot mode. If this is the case, use a windows 7 PC or a linux like Ubuntu.

It's hboot 1,55. It says fastboot USB, but won't show on fast boot or adb. How do I go back to stock rom
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Then your drivers are not installed. Install HTC drivers so the computer will be able to see the phone.

so we are back at post #7, to determine what you need to go back to stock, i need to know your "fastboot getvar all" so we can determine what options you have. For now you can't post this information because you have drivers issue. Fix your drivers and then post that info.

OR

restore your nandroid backup (if you have one, you still not have answered this clearly btw) from recovery, this option will not require adb and fastboot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackenzie121:
OK once I get it working I will send the info. Yeah there is a nand backup using twerp. If I done a restore using that will it go back to factory stock Rom?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
restoring the backup will restore your phone to the same state it was when you did the backup (only you can know). So if you did the backup when the phone was running the stock rom, it will restore the stock rom. If you did the backup when you were on stock rom + rooted, it will restore stock rom + root.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
Doesn't seem to be a backup available. Your choice is to use your own backup (if you have one) or install a custom rom using

1. adb push romname.zip /sdcard

or

2. adb sideload rom.zip

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
you already asked this same exact question at post #17 and I answered it at post #18, so why asking again? if your backup was made on stock rom then restore it. simple.

OK OK. I'm just double checking before I do it and know ask the facts, because some people say do it this way, others say do it another way.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
yes because there is more than 1 method to restore your phone to stock rom, but restoring the nandroid backup is the easiest solution if you have one. You may loose root if your backup was made before you have rooted the phone. But root access can be achieved again easily after restoring the backup, but for now, stay focused on restoring the backup. If you need help to re-root later, we will assist you

You should be asking in the Q&A section for quicker answers.

I have posted a thread on such issues... Cable is the primary issue.

I never turn off my tablet to charge or store. Hibernation mode will last me days when not in use. Seems that more are having issues with charging while the tablet is off, but even when on such issues arise.

I don't recommend calibration as it never proves to be a permanent fix, and google does not recommend such apps.

If rooted, you can run exposed framework and load DVFS disable by Wanam. Samsung DVFS messes with Androids battery stats database. The only fix is to disable it through an app.

If you have Wanam Exposed, the same dis-abler is available within the advanced settings.
