[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jonathan111889:
Problem:

I've tried using stock RUU's that never end up going through (Either because the file is corrupt or I get an error when trying to flash (Using the Root Tool Kit)

I've tried using Nandroid backups of the stock rom and they boot, but it runs terribly (Home, back, and recent apps buttons are missing most importantly)

And I've tried flashing stock recovery then trying all this without any success.

Set-up

Sprint M8 Non H/K

Came from GPe rom to Venom

I used HTC One M8 toolkit to gain root

I am S-on (S-off firewater doesn't work for me and I don't have the money for sunshine)

Boot loader unlocked via HTC Dev

I'm 20+ hours deep in this thing and can't think of any other solutions. Any help would be amazing
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Did you re-lock your bootloader when you tried the RUU?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jonathan111889:
I did not. Everywhere I was reading told me to leave it unlocked. Shall I lock it and retry?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Yeah since you are s-on you need to re-lock.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jonathan111889:
Ok I'm getting the RUU now.

Will report back soon. Thanks in advance
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jonathan111889:
This is the message I end up with in cmd

"target reported max download size of 1830711296 bytes

load_file: could not allocate 1623987647 bytes

error: cannot load 'C:\Users\Jonathan\Downloads\0P6BIMG.zip': Not enough space"

I know I have plenty of space.So this is where my dilemma is
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
I think the way they are doing it now is...

Extract the 0P6BIMG.zip and copy it to your ext sdcard. (the file on the inside)

Boot to bootloader (hboot not fastboot)

The file should be found and should ask you if you want to update.

Follow the onscreen instructions

You have ended my nightmare good sir. You are a life saver!

Cool glad you got it sorted. :)

Looking at some cheap screen protectors for the Hermes. I have seen these are on eBay at £1.99 for 6. The seller offers "buy 2, get 1 free", so including postage (£1.99 to UK) it works out at 18 screen protectors for £3.98.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290056291809 (or search for item 290056291809).

But are they any good? Or would I be wasting my money?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Lurker0:
The general rule is: if a manufacturer sells screen protectors in packs of several, it means the mfg himself does not think it will last for a long time.

Martin Field Overlay Plus lasted 3 years on my SE P800, and wasn't need to be replaced when P800 retired.

Treo 650 screen protectors

I use the one made for the 650 from Palm. Works well, fits well. Lasted well on my Treo.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] simonk12:
the multi packs arent any good...and i think you'll be wasting you money...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Philip:
You may be right. They arrived yesterday, and seem to be of quite good quality. The one I have tried appears to work OK (i.e., it doesn't affect my use of the screen, and it does put a protective layer over the glass screen).

However, the ones which I received are just a little bit too small to cover the screen (about 2.5mm too short and 1mm too narrow), so I will be contacting the seller about this.

I'm not actually worried about how long they last. Even if I have to replace the protector every month, I have enough to last me for 18 months - and I'll certainly be replacing my Vario 2 for a new toy before then!

Then again, I'm still not convinced that I need a screen protector. Before the Vario 2, I have had an XDA Exec, XDA IIi, XDA II and more iPaqs than I can remember. I never used a screen protector on any of them, and I have never ever had any screen problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] vijay555:
You can get exim spucs off ebay for £3. I highly recommend these.

are screen protectors even really needed?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] fil:
if you dont mind crying when you scatch your screen, then no!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] FOZZER:
I can only agree with the other posts I used the cheaper screen protectors in the past, thinking its ok when they scratch I'll just replace it, but it's true you get what you pay for, I have just paid £6 for a single protector and well it's brilliant, it sucked it's self to the screen No bubbles At All, Feels better to use the screen and up to yet not scratches.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sionicion:
When the google play edition came out, we got the dump, and worked to making a flashable rom. Now with a Windows Phone variant running on the M8, wouldn't it be relatively easy to port it? I tend to switch between Android and WP phones. Having a phone that could have either would make me want to purchase the phone because I wouldn't have to switch between two phones constantly.

Is hboot on HTC windows phones? Is there a way to dump the system and port it? Make a rom possibly? Maybe possibly RUUs to switch between the OSs factory installs?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
The phones have different hardware so don't count to much on it...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
From what I have read, the only change will be the OS

"As for specifications, the Windows-based (M8) will run on Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1, but should otherwise be identical to the Android model, from the Boomsound speakers to the 5-inch Full HD display. No word yet on whether or not the device will come to any carriers other than Verizon, but there hasn’t been any indication from any other carriers up to this point."

So I wouldn't go as far as it's not possible. There is always hope.. In the General folder there is a dev working on a Dual Boot M8. Hoping to see the WP8 on one of the boot....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sionicion:
The hardware is identical according to leaks, they just swapped out Android for Windows Phone.

Why would i not......Why should i trust leaks even if it would be thousands and spreaded of the word of one man.....same as believing one mod !

I'm not going into discussion about this any further. All WP vs Android M8 are closed down.....this should be the next i guess :)

I have the same problem:)
[Xperia Z2 General] kptnk:
Hi

So here I am, it just happened to me, the back cover of my Z2 self cracked ! I left it on a shelf, inside it's pouch (Adore June case), and when I took it a few minutes later, the back was all cracked.

The phone didn't fell, nio shock at all, nothing. Temperature was ambiant, about 20°c, without any big variations.

So I'd say, for a piece a of technology I bought exactly 555 € 2 month ago, it is just unbelievable, unacceptable !

It was my first Sony phone, and it will be the very last.

Other than that, I was really satisfied with it.....until it decides to harm itself !

Now the good part of the story is, when I contacted the seller, Purnima Digital, they oriented me to their warranty service, who reacted very well and fast. I was about to send them the phone, for free, for an expertise, but when I called them, they advised me to wait, because they already had hundreds of Z2 with the same issue, and for now Sony hadn't accepted to repair under warranty !!!!

They told me they were negotiating with Sony, with the help of a consumers association, to make Sony accept their production deffective issues.

So voilà my story with Sony. I will keep you informed about the outcome, hopefully Sony will take their responsibility.

As soon as I will have my Z2 repaired, first thing I will sell it. And never again I will hear about Xperia phones !

I have a Z2 Tablet, which for now is very well and doesn't seem to want to Crack it self,.....

I have a IPhone 5s for the work, and i will stick to it now. no matter what we think about Apple vs Android, at least I will not have these problems with the 5s.

Good luck with yours !
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
I think you had bad luck my friend,my Z2 is without any gaps and any other problems so only bad luck.
[Xperia Z2 General] lyubor:
I'm perfectly happy with my Z2 that I bought right after it was released in my country in May. I have had no issues with it whatsoever and it's still without a scratch even without a case. That being said, if you have accidentally left your phone in direct sunlight it could cause the backplate to crack due to heat. If that is not the case then you've been really unlucky and for that I empathize with you. Good luck with your phone and whatever you choose to do with it if/when you get it back.
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
In that case here is the next question..what kind of glass is the back + the front one? It would be nice if they start making dragontrail glass for the back at least... :/ Ive heard that many Z Z1 Z2 users suffer that problem.Im quite affraid for mine too :/
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
Now people will start to understand why anti shatter film was important.
[Xperia Z2 General] kptnk:
Yep ; FYI, i had put on the back the NILKIN plastic film provided when you purchase the Tempered glass pack for the front panel....i was sure the back didn't need a tempered glass as well, and i was confident the plastic one would be OK, knowing the phone will be in a case...

Well now i know that it was not sufficent at all.

It was surely bad luck for me with this unit, even if there are many other users in the same position, but anyway i advise you all to put a tempered glass protection on the back as well.
[Xperia Z2 General] Luhccas-X10:
The anti shatter film was better than any tempered glass protection.

Due to it's malleability impacts get softened.
[Xperia Z2 General] hotnikkelz:
Replacing the back is pretty cheap <$20 and easy though. Good thing it's not the front...Cost me 100 to buy a replacement LCD.
[Xperia Z2 General] kylecummins:
My screen self cracked yesterday.

After about 30 minutes I had an rma filed with a label on the way, hopefully the techs can see this wasn't an issue of "accidental damage " instead a fault in the design.

Hoping it's fixed and sent back!
[Xperia Z2 General] GrossmeisterB:
My screen cracked itself, too - Sony Germany refused the warranty!

I hope they will get this sorted, soon! It's unacceptable!!
[Xperia Z2 General] Miroslav.Cvejic:
My Z2 has faulty back cover also. It's not cracked, but is not glued properly so the edge near the USB port kinda pops out. I can press and it sticks back but then it pops out again after a while. I doubt it's waterproof. The phone is less than one month old.
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
Warranty.
[Xperia Z2 General] ice_lander:
Mine prev. Z2 was aslo same fault as op , after 2 weeks of use and no drops no keys in pocket,no pushing nothing,the back cover cracked from the upside to the bottom,but here in bulgaria my retailer changed the phone after 2weeks of pushing from my side under the phone and sony support here is alfuw , it is deffect from the phone bro , go and insist for changing not repairing, its from their f**** deffect batches
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
This is that kind of phone that needs a case 100% if you want it to be protected and safe for a longer period of time. ( I am from that kind of persons that are using the phone naked (its a damn Z series..u took the phone for its classy look too,but here i can't risk anymore :/ )) Screen protectors from both sides wont save it too.Ive read alot and..too much ppl complaining from cracked Z2s.Too sad that Sony didn't put a Dragontrail/Corning Gorilla..front and back glass.
[Xperia Z2 General] juicejuice:
The back glass on mine self-cracked. It has been in a case since an hour after I received the phone. It sits most of the day on my desk at work, or on the kitchen bench at home. Last week I discovered a single crack across the back panel.

I took it to the Telstra shop and they said Sony will not accept warranty claims for physical damage. I am going to follow up with Sony as this sounds ridiculous. The phone is not fit for purpose. None of the smartphones nor PDAs I have had (going back 14 years now) have ever suffered any damage or cracks.
[Xperia Z2 General] RagePX:
delete please :)
[Xperia Z2 General] zanndoth:
'Cept that the $20 replacement back cover does not include the NFC that is originally attached to the back.
[Xperia Z2 General] hotnikkelz:
it doesn't??? OMG that sucks!!! even an original Sony one?
[Xperia Z2 General] daven:
Had my Z2 self crack also the other day... used it and it was fine, checked back half an hour later and the screen was shattered. The shatter pattern is very similar to the pics posted at the beginning of this thread except mine is on the digitizer. It's obviously not from an impact/drop (I know this because I didn't drop it and the chassis is unmarked) but more so because of the pattern of the crack, no bullseye or spiderweb. Even more so because the phone wasn't moved during the time when it cracked....

Needless to say I was extremely annoyed, luckily I had the in box screen protector on so it didn't leave shards of glass all over the place. Just need to decide what to get next, does seem like this is an issue with only a few Z2's, my gf and sister have z2's which theyve dropped god knows how many times and their glass is unmarked, mine on the other hand has never been dropped. Anyway not sure whether to just wait for the Z3 instead of getting another Z2 (don't think I could live without a waterproof phone so that eliminates pretty much everything apart from Sony)
[Xperia Z2 General] tomo100brt:
I am from Croatia. My first Z2 was foulty too. It was heating quickly, back glass cracked, wather demaged microfon and wather was all around camera. At first after 5 days I sent it service repair refused to change the phone claiming that this was physical damage. Then I asked for explanation and yelled on them and then they called me after 3 weeks to tell me that they are going to give me new one after long consultation with Sony in Europe.

With this new Z2 I don't have any problems and no quick heating.
[Xperia Z2 General] Miroslav.Cvejic:
I returned my Z2 and got it back after 10 days. It was in authorized SONY service shop. They claim they're aware of the issue of rear glass popping out, so it was glued back and tested for waterproof.

Not a week has passed an same thing happens.

Guess this one is faulty by default. :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Sonny112:
My Xperia Z2 had fallen from a short height (bed height) and the black Glass got a slight crack at the back and ever since my sim hasn't been responding :( can you guys tell me why and how can I fix it??
[Xperia Z2 General] RuffBuster:
Have you tried taking the sim out and putting it back in? Maybe shook loose? The back glass is more fragile than the front glass. I use tempered glass protectors on the front and back. Have had to replace the back glass twice now, but be aware if you do try and get an original back glass if you can, because the copies on eBay don't line up properly with the flash and cause it to create crap flash photos.

Ok... So I am confused as to what HDMI adapter to get. I just want the thing to charge while plugged into the TV.

Is MHL have to be supported by the TV too? I don't care if I have to use another cable to charge. I got this one, HDMI works but doesn't charge. Shows a red x on the battery icon.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1059844052?pc_redir=1407160362&robot_redir=1

Can anyone confirm that this one does indeed charge?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] kuthedude:
Thanks. But damn. .. it is $65 shipped in the US.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] Mario387:
From what I read, the red X on the battery icon means it is getting a charge but not at full speed.

I got the same with a powered USB hub. So whether you charge up or remain at what you at, depends a bit on how much you need, and how much trickles in.

Whether it's good for a battery the get a small charge and remain level or even loose charge is an other matter.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] ssj4maiko:
Well, I bought a MHL adapter by Samsung, and while the tablet seems to confirm that the adapter works, I never got to duplicate the screen at my TV... I have no idea what's the problem...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories] JosephFeliciano013:
Buy an HDMI MHL adapater and make sure it's one that comes with the usb wall charger and is 3 wires running all into one unit. Should charge without a problem. You don't have to buy expensive ones just make sure any cheap solutions are at least decent material.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AznMTboy:
I use Google Play Music and Sony Music player. Both suddenly stopped playing.

Here how it happens. There is this game that I'm addicting to it. it's called Brave Frontier. Anyways, I usually listen music through my car cassette by plugging to the headphone from the phone. So I play any music on my player either one. Then I opened up Brave Frontier game and the music gets turned off or silent, but the music player is still playing music as indication.

Then i switch to the music player have to pause and unpause or skip track for player to play music again. Then i get back to my game. Then maybe a minute later the music turned off.

Any fix for this? because it is very annoying that I wanna listen to music while playing game. Other phone like galaxy S4 (coming from) doesnt have this problem.:confused:

hi guys,

I'm new here, just came from htc one x which doesn't have s-off so there are stuff about s-off which i don't understand,,

first of all in htc one x in order to flash a rom, i had to flash the boot.img via fastboot, is it the same with s-on here?

and about flashing just the kernel with s-on, its though fastboot too?

how does s-off works with flashing firmware and cid?

and if you can explain the advantages s-off gives us?

thanks for the help,

Lior

P.S. i searched the net for over 2 hours and could not find an answer to these quesions..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kahun:
No you don't have to flash the boot.img anymore the phone does it when you are installing a rom. You can flash a kernel just by uploading the zip to your internal memory and installing it like you would install a rom.

With s-off you can access more system permissions so you can apply mods such as Harman/Kardon speakers. To S-OFF you will need Firewater S-OFF if firewater doesn't work your only choice is using Sunshine S-OFF
