Good day !!

I want to downgrade, but I have a question to make this downgrade I

need to be S-ON or S-OFF?
[One (M8) General] angelo.bautista5:
You don't need to be s-offed to downgrade. If you are already s-offed, no need to downgrade. Just supercid and flash any firmware you want.

So, basically if I'm on HBOOT 3.19, am I wasting my time by trying the instructions in the first post?
[One (M8) General] anddiiss:
The short answer is - yes!

Messing with your phone's Hboot can be very dangerous. If you do something wrong, you're risking a PERMANENT brick which basically means that Bootloader won't be able to pass instructions in order to boot up the phone.

htc m8y

My HTC m8y locked

and s-on

I'm in 4.4.2

FW 1.54.401.5

this work for me
[One (M8) General] bigd4ve:
I'm gutted I jumped the gun and used the OTA updates to update the firmware before finding this thread.

If anyone is brave enough to try this on HBOOT 3.19 please let us know how it went. Sunshine not compatible yet so this is the only solution I've found to S-OFF CID HTC__622 and I'm so annoyed with myself that I updated and now cannot do it.
[One (M8) General] anddiiss:
Doesn't matter if you updated or not, obviously your HBOOT was 3.18 prior to updating, which basically means that you didn't have any options anyway unless you updated twice or more. This method, simply put, was for all HK users still on 4.4.2 KitKat, if I remember correctly then your HBOOT had to be 3.16 for this to work. Sunshine will include support for 3.18 and 3.19 HBOOT's in the 3.0 release but that's only happening after a month or something. No precise ETA was given for obvious reasons.

If I were you I'd steer clear of this thread and the instructions mentioned in the first post. As I said before, chances are that someone might just end up bricking their device for good if done something wrong. As an inexperienced user myself and a newcomer to the Android OS I personally wouldn't want risking doing something wrong, haha, my heart almost stopped when I ended up having my first boot loop.

Besides, I still don't get it how did the guy in the first post manage to downgrade his HBOOT, isn't that impossible with S-ON? My phone came with 4.4.2 out of the box, at that time I didn't even bother coming to XDA so I just went for an OTA update, haha, which basically rendered my chances of successfully s-offing my device - impossible.

The only reason why I'm eager to wait for Sunshine support to S-Off my device is to try out H/K sound mod. That's it! :D
[One (M8) General] beaups:
Downgrading hboot is never possible with s on. The reason the method in OP worked is the hboot in the "ota version" and the "downgrade version" were both the same.

That said, hboot version has nothing to do with firewater (or sunshine for that matter).
[One (M8) General] bigd4ve:
I've only had the phone for about 3 weeks and it shipped with 4.4.2 and HBOOT 3.16 as in the OP so I could've given this a go if I had done some more research before going via the OTA route to update my firmware.

Decided I didn't really need S-OFF and I don't, but now realising I want it especially after taking it for granted with my previous device (HTC Sensation XE). Wanted to try a custom ROM straight away and knew I needed a firmware update for the latest ones to work properly.

I guess I'll have to live without S-OFF and SuperCID or at least until sunshine is supported.
[One (M8) General] elawady.2014:
is this method work with china verison that named htc m8_TL??
[One (M8) General] Mezot:
Some people dont care, also if sunshine was free I would donate to them to keep up the good work anyways. :)
[One (M8) General] Mr Hofs:
it just does not work like this. the OP was lucky in all the variables. I can guarantee you it will not work on the higher hboots (I mean to go back to a lower software version for s-off)

and you can't downgrade the hboot on a s-on device ! 1000% you can't

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] richardb85:
Hi all, hoping to get some help. I rooted my phone the other week and was using viperrom. I had no problems whatsoever, no glitches that I could remember. That is, until I decided to trade my m8 with a friends Note 3. I factory reset it and give it to her, I left the viperrom on because she didn't mind but then the glitches started to happen. The onscreen bottom 3 buttons disappeared for her (home, back,etc.), So I reset it again but the problem persists. I searched for an at&t stock rom and sideloaded that after master resetting, wiping the dalvik cache and all that... now a different problem popped up. It hangs at the HTC logo for what seems like forever, but then I noticed the volume up and down make a noise as if the phone is loaded up. I pressed the power button a few times and eventually the screen turned on and I could see the home screen. This happens every time I restart the phone and I have tried reinstalling the stock rom a few times. I am now in the process of trying a different stock rom.. the first was odexed and this new one is deodexed, I dont know if that makes a difference in my situation but does anyone know what could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] richardb85:
Nvm, after a few more master resets it seems to have sorted itself out... not sure what it was but its gone now.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
If its the latest version of Viper, based on 2.22 software, you need to update the firmware package, otherwise the long boot times will continue.

I understand that with Qtek 9100 you cannot copy ALL contact to the SIM card all in once, but there is a way to get round that and get it done. Now, I have the same problem with my Qtek 9600 and I really want to copy ALL contact details to my SIM card without the need of copying one contact at a time.

BTW, I have no problem copying all contact details from my computer to the PPC via Active Sync.

Can anyone out there be kind enough to guide me through this, if this can be done at all?

Thanks.

Check out the SIM Manager utility. It has a "contacts to SIM" menu option...

Keep in mind that SIMs have limited space. Depending on how many contacts you have, you may not be able to get them all loaded...

[M.O.J.O. General] joaommsousa:
I have MOJO for several months now, when i initially bought it, i showed it to all my friends, and bragged about the potential of this product.

After all this months, its just sad, the lack of support or competence of the manufacters to actually stand by their product.

Beeing a developer and an android enthusiast, it's just sad to see how poorly this hole process has been developed.

The console itself has several issues, the play store, for me is a huge deal breaker. You can't have a main selling point of the product (the full access to play store and tegra zone) when most of the products there, altought i can see them, are not compatible either with the console itself, or worse, the gamepad isn't recognized. Titles like Portal 2 and Half Life 2, made precisely for MOJO's hardware, and i cant play it.

You can't also ask regular users to Root their device after every update. Either support the non rooted version, or it has to be rooted by default.

I could be a regular user who just wants to play some vice city on my TV, don't know or care how to root. This isn't a developer edition!!

The OS itself has several issues, from the basic ones ( I CANT RESTART OR SHUTDOWN THE CONSOLE w/ unplugging it), no resolution settings. I have several audio lag issues when the console is left on for days. So even for media, i can't have XBMC running 100% there.I do have a Samsung Beam (very slow 1.0 dual core) with buggy OS and i have hours and hours of projecting XBMC media without ANY issues.

The support is next to nothing. I've installed the latest update from MadCatz, i was so happy with more google play support etc.. Turns out when i didn't want to create a OUYA account, now i have OUYA Framework crashing every 5 minutes. Just perfect.

The other main selling point was the gamepad, a solid, well construct Controller, with amazing gaming tecnology from madcatz.

Well, beside the construction, there's nothing else good about the gamepad. I have a bunch of tablets and phones, i have a really hard time connecting and staying connected with my Android 4.4.2 devices. I'm constantly losing my Connection with the gamepad, and the REconnection is just painfull, i have to restart the gameopad a few times before i can get it to work again.

Also most of the games with gamepad support doesn't recognize the CTRLR.. WTF, MadCatz team, even the simple part of getting in touch with game developers, didn't do their homework.

Mad Catz could however, try to compensate somehow, and make a decent Gamepad Mapper. Nothing on this been release, has been months.

If this was a review of the product i would give it 2/10. And the 2 is for the choice of using Nvidia's tegra 4, and thats the only good thing about this.

The lack of support of XDA's developers, given the potential of the device shown by nvidia's shield portable, is insane.

I no longer brag about this with my friends, i'm just ashamed and deceived to have spent 250 bucks on this. I'm buying Nvidia's shield tablet and try to forget Madcatz and my 250$

Thanks MadCatz.
[M.O.J.O. General] Ash180287:
Wish I could have disagreed with at least one of the points you raised but I can't. 2 out of 10/that's quite generous mad cats well an truely ****ed this one up and don't appear to give a flying %uck. As you pointed out endless potential totally wasted. If anyone from madcatz ever reads these kinda posts get in touch with cyanogenmod or any of the renound teams who know what their doing and give them the contract to build the software rather than wherever cowboys currently produce ur shabby android builds cause their update supports abismal what ever u payed em its way to much :)
[M.O.J.O. General] mejdam:
I completely agree with the OP, I purchased two Madcatz Mojos when the only other box was an Ouya. I was drooling over the potential of the Tegra 4 processor. The biggest issue with this box is its software, even though it was promised we still don’t have 4.4 and for such powerful chip it doesn’t support DTS or Dolby Digital bypass. Like most of you I got sick of waiting and have purchased an Amazon Fire TV instead, I sold one of my madcatz mojo for $160 on craigslist and used that money in addition with the money from selling my nexus 7 to purchase an nvidia shield tablet. Now that’s a company that did it right. I am going to selling my last Madcatz Mojo by the end of this month once I finish some testing with my 4k TV.
[M.O.J.O. General] FBRkr1s:
Well guys you beat me to it, I thought it was about time to join & post my feelings on the MOJO I purchased in December upon UK release but OP has written an almost identical post to what I drafted. Mad Catz could have done so much with the console which offered so much potential but lack of support has killed it before its even got started.

I feel it wouldn't be so bad if we were all kept in the loop on progress to bring us a new OS, further Play Store compatibility, gamepad mapping etc, but not a word!

I have tried to convince myself the £220 purchase was worth it, but its very hard to justify it when you look at the Shield & the Shield tablet, my Ouya is used everyday & the MOJO sits gathering dust without the power cord connected!

I beg the Mad Catz team to read these posts & at least come back to us with something, I know they do come on here so use your voice guys & throw us something.

At present I'm sure they are sat laughing that they have our money so why should they care? Well this forum ranks high on Google & must be hurting potential sales & I certainly won't buy or recommend another Mad Catz product & thats from a household which owns every major console released & has a competition PC gamer living it.

Thanks Mad Catz
[M.O.J.O. General] P901:
I'll add my voice to the chorus, since it looks like this thread has the potential to become one of the longest ones in the Mad Catz forum.

I was new to Android but after having a great experience customizing a Nexus phone (thanks to the XDA community!) I fell for the hype and bought a M.O.J.O once root became available. Was ok with the limited number of games because Mad Catz said they were working with developers blah, blah, blah The games that work, are interesting and don't require key mapping are very few. I think I have 3 installed and don't remember the last time I played one.

It's still attached to the tv, for Netflix, but with a different input device. For those of you outside the US, after installing Set DNS and using some of its default settings I can access US Netflix so that's a plus. It's good for roms too.

This device had so much potential but the company looks like it doesn't have a clue. What's worse is that they flat out lied to customers about the Kit Kat update. From day one they said that "they were working on it, it was coming soon. it was with Google waiting for approval, etc. etc." and those were all total lies. I can't give any more of my money to a company that treats its customers like that. The sad part is that they could have easily found someone to outsource the Kit Kat work to right here on XDA, but even their employees joined this community after the product was launched.

I encourage others to add their thoughts to this thread.
[M.O.J.O. General] joaommsousa:
The reason they don't answer this kind of posts, and the reason you don't get any feedback on the work being done by Madcatz on MOJO, it's because you wont like those answers. The few units sold probably just made them stop working on this.

Again, as a developer, i think i'de get fired if i delivered such a final product or software. Just amateur.

Anyone thinking about buying this, just dont, anyone who already bought it just say Thank's madcatz and cry a tear for their hard work.
[M.O.J.O. General] FBRkr1s:
You beat me to it again OP, however I would like to hear from MC themselves & have just invited Alex Verrey from MadCatz to join this thread with the following:

Dear Mr. Verry,

I do hope I find you in good health & apologise for this unconventional communication regarding a MadCatz product.

I am a supporter of MadCatz products & purchased the M.O.J.O in late 2013, a product which you handled the P.R for to great effect.

However myself & others have become disillusioned with Madcatz by the serious omissions in support & features this product needs & as such would like to invite yourself or any other MadCatz employee to join the recent topic on the XDA Developers Forum:

http://xdaforums.com/mad-catz-mojo/general/im-t2852370
