[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Machlev:
HEY!!

I wanted to change my LCD density on the build.prop file with build.prop Editor. It worked fine.

When I tried to copy the backup back from sdcard and replace the edited build.prop with the stock one, after reboot all I can see is the OnePlus logo with the "POWERED BY ANDROID" text.

I can access TWRP, but when I check the /system directory, there is no build.prop file. So I move it again from sdcard to the /system directory. It stays there until I reboot the phone.

I did EVERYTHING! chmod, mounting, moving using adb shell, and the file just deletes itself when I reboot the phone!!

I don't want to make a factory reset since I don't have a latest backup.

Please don't ask me why did I change the LCD density. I just wanted to check something.

PLEASE HELP!!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poesini:
Are you mounting /system with TWRP before doing that?

Also, dont move the file, try cp which works better with crosslink devices

And try chmod 755 /system/build.prop with adb while in recovery and check the build.prop isnt edited in Windows so EOL is Windows-like, then use Notepad++ to change to UNIX-type

easy, you copy pasted so permissions are not the same as the original

reflash system or rom

Hey there,

I'm looking for a new case for my Nexus to get some more variety in cases :P

So I found the Ultra Hybrid but I dont like how the sides of it look..

Is there a case that combines the sleek and simple looking sides of the Spigen Neo Hybrid with the transparent back of the Ultra Hybrid?

Also I need a little of free space between the phone and the transparent back (around 1mm) to add a "The Division" badge that someone gave me on gamescom... :)

So what alternatives would you recommend? I also use a glass-screen protector...so It should be compatible with it :)

Thanks in advance and sorry for my terrible english :crying:

Best regards,

Korn
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ej8989:
Ringke Fusion is the best looking case I have right now. I got the grey color. If it becomes extremely unpleasant to look at due to wear and tear I'll buy another one.

I also have a tempered glass installed (Nillkin) and it's perfectly aligned with the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] B29Korn:
Thanks :P

I had a closer look at the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and it does not seem to fit the 1mm badge I want to add :(

As you own the Fusion, any Idea if this would fit?

Regards,

Korn
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ej8989:
You mean you'll place it inside the case so it covers the nexus logo?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] B29Korn:
Yup thats what im trying to do :)

But I feel like It wont work out..

I may will stick with a bumper case and modify it to feature a transparent back then :P

Or do you think it might work?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neil_615:
I just bought a galaxy s5 off craigslist and verified the imei # on swappa.com and it said it was ready to activate. But it turns out it's still on someone's account. I don't think it's stolen cause the guy at sprint said the last name on the account was the same as the person that sold it to me. It didn't have a SIM card in it so I couldn't tell it was still activated.

So is there anyway I can still unlock it and use it with verizon cause the girl I bought it from keeps acting like she is getting it removed but the account is in her grandmothers name and she is really sick
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsweetness:
A Sprint S5 will not work on Verizon, so even if you could unlock it while it's still activated on a Sprint account, it wouldn't do you any good.

Unless the person you bought it from is willing to refund your money, you're stuck with a phone you can't use.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neil_615:
Damn. We'll is there anything I can do to make it able to be activated on any network so I can sell it and hopefully get my money back? Other than just selling for parts witch I might end up having to do anyway
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neil_615:
well she deactivated the phone and I got the MSL code from sprint and Verizon says they can activate it if I got it flashed to Verizon's software but now the problem is version dosent flash phones
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsweetness:
You would also need the IMEI number to be entered into Verizon's system in order to access their CDMA network, and Verizon does not add non-Verizon phones to their system for that.

If she deactivated the phone, I would just sell it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfracing16:
I have a similar problem with my galaxy S5 from sprint. I was told from 2 different sprint call center people that with the MSL code (which I already got) the phone can be used with another domestic company and also international.

From that point I started an account with T Mobile, but when I inserted the SIM card into my phone it doesnt recognize it and obiusly have no signal.

Ive tried different methods to get the phone into the GSM frecuency, even accesing to the Hidden Menu and choosing ONLY GSM FREC, tried to add an APN, and now I'm thinking to install a g900t ROM to make it work...

If anyone here can help me out with this or refer me to a thread that could help, I will appreciate that
[Nokia Lumia 920] abelitin:
Hi,

I have a L920, originally Rogers (CA) ROM. I flashed it into Euro Dev a long time ago, and it worked just fine until yesterday on my AWS provider (Mobilicity).

As with previous OTA updates, carriers started to deploy theirs, and I didn't get a notification for mine until yesterday. Did the OTA and as soon as phone started with 8.1, I was showing 'No service'. If I did a manual search, neither Mobilicity nor Wind would show, only CDN Roaming (Rogers), and Bell.

After a few hours with the (un)support of both MS and Nokia, I gave up and decided to flash back. I flashed it back to Rogers WP 8.1, and same thing. I reflashed it to the previous OS I had (Euro Developer, 8.0 GDR 3) and same thing.

My guess is that the AWS frequency is now somehow lost, since the previous Euro version had it and now it doesn't.

Anyone has heard anything about this? And, more importantly, anyone has any idea how to get my AWS back?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amelia2006:
I used to use Apple TV to play youtube and 1080p content looks great. But when I tried youtube on Fire TV, it is at most SD, not 720p, not 1080p and it looks blurred! I assume Amazon crippled it (Same is true to XBOX 360 and one).

Is there anyway to let Fire TV to play youtube 1080p? Or I still have to use Apple TV for youtube.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFTVnews.com:
I just passed my Fire TV internet connection through Wireshark, a packet analyzer, and played several videos through the YouTube app that had 1080p as an option on the website. The "itag" parameter (which determines the video resolution) of the HTTP requests to YouTube was always either 136 or 137. It flip flopped between these two values randomly. According to this document, 136 refers to 1280 x 720 MP4, and 137 refers to 1920 x 1080 MP4. I verified the video resolution matched the itag value by pasting the requested video URL into a browser and downloading the returned video segment.

That leads me to believe that the video quality is variable and selected based on your connection characteristics. So if you're seeing poor quality video, then either your ISP is throttling you, or YouTube has decided your connection is insufficient for 720p or 1080p.

You can test your connect to YouTube here: https://www.google.com/get/videoqualityreport/
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amelia2006:
I tried both Apple TV and Fire TV, with the same youtube account with the same video program saved in playlist. I can easily tell with ATV the video quality is 1080p (I can tell the difference on ATV with 1080p/720p/480p). But on Fire TV or XBOX, it is always lowest quality (maybe 480p). So I am pretty sure it is not ISP issue. I am using cable and I can get 30Mbps.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talla1:
Hi all,

My new M8 has the original stock 1.54.707.7 on it. I just installed TWRP and SuperSU. No other tamperings were done.

In the last few days the phone nags me to install the update of 2.22.707.3 but from what I read here, I need to return to stock recovery before I do that.

My questions are:

1) Is updating OTA considered easier and safer than flashing manually the version of my choice (most updated stock)?

2) Currently, all my bloatware are still installed, because I was not able to remove it in titanium backup (it crashed my phone!!). I read somewhere that I need to also do S-OFF before I can remove them? Is it true? I also read that after removing even a single piece of bloat, I can no longer update OTA. Is that true also? In case it is, my only option is to update to latest stock by flashing manually?

3) Will updating the version relock the bootloader and will force me to unlock it again?

4) If I'm not happy with the new version, is a full nandroid backup from TWRP enough to restore my phone to 1.54.707.7?

My apologies if I'm asking questions with obvious answers. I assure you that I read all information I could find, on and off XDA.

Thanks in advance,

Tal
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drax TD:
It is not really safer to do either one, but if you want to update firmware you will have to do an OTA (unless you are S-Off)

If your bloatware is all still there it should be as easy as flashing back your stock recovery, accepting the OTA, and reflashing TWRP. Yes, if you remove bloatware it will make your job harder (but not much). You would then have to restore a nandroid from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376) but make sure you follow the directions closely!

No.

Yes. However, I know for a fact that the OTA to Android 4.4.3 updates your firmware, which I am not sure is quite as easy to reverse. But let me put it this way... You probably will not want to go back after these OTAs. They will only make your phone better.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
With S-on, reverting firmware is impossible.

I agree. And remember that a lot of security updates are made with each OTA. So unless you experience some major bugs, its really not a good idea to step backwards.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Agree with above notion, that OTA is not necessarily "safer". And "easier" I suppose is debatable in your case. If you don't want to s-off, you might choose to OTA to get the latest firmware (hboot, radio, etc.), then install custom recovery and root again.

If you want S-off and complete freedom, I'd just do that, stay modded and not mess with the OTA.

These are probably some pretty complex topics for a n00b, so read around and learn as firmware, s-off, etc. are already being discussed in lots of other threads.

Nope, not true. You need a modded kernel, to remove the system write protection.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talla1:
Thanks for the info Drax and Redpoint!

After doing some more reading, I decided to move over to Android Revolution custom rom.

I figured that I should stop insisting on staying with the original stock if the difficulties are piling up against me. I chose Android Revolution as I do like the sense look and feel and don't want to give up the built in features of the device (like use of the special camera app or sense ui launcher).

I got a nandroid backup and also titanium backup of all my apps.

Wish me luck now..

Regarding your answers, I'm still confused about firmware upgrading/reverting. Android revolution comes with a firmware based on 2.22.401.4 and my phone currently have 1.54.707.7. Your answers imply that restoring my 1.54.707.7 nandroid backup will NOT work? So why am I bothering with the backup in the first place?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drax TD:
Flashing a custom rom will never modify your firmware. The only ways to update firmware are to:

1 - Return to stock and accept OTA

2 - (only if you are S-off) flash firmware manually

You will be running the rom with a different firmware than what it is built for, which probably won't cause problems, but certainly could. As an example, ViperOne 2.0.0 is completely functional on the original m8 firmware, but has an extremely long boot time (5 minutes). I can't give specifics on other things which I have not tested, but that is one example. You can feel free to go ahead and flash whatever roms you want as they will not touch your firmware. If you want to change firmware, see directions above.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talla1:
Well, I moved over to Android Revolution HD, and now I have two issues that I know of, presumabely because of the mismatched firmware:

1) long boot time, like you already anticipated I would have.

2) I can't play most of mp3 files! They just play silence, even though they worked correctly before the update!!

Now, I had no idea that ROM and FIRMWARE are two different concepts. I always thought they were synonims.

How should I go about to fix this? I thought to:

1) Backup my current state with nandroid.

2) Restore my stock nandroid backup

3) install stock recovery

4) accept OTA to update my firmware

5) install TWRP

6) Restore my Android revolution backup

Does this sounds reasonable? Will it be easier to do s-off and flash firmware myself?

Thanks in advance!

Tal
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You steps are good enough to fix the long boot time problem (item 1)

Item 2 - you need to reflash ROM and AVOID selecting Harmon Kardon mod. HK mod works on S-Off device only
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talla1:
Thanks for the quick answers!

Regarding 2, I suspected as such, so I tried disabling it from the settings menu and it didn't help.. Shouldn't it have worked..? I will definately try reflashing though.

Regarding 1, as I said before, being a total HTC noob, I only found out about the concept of firmwares just yesterday and it's a shame that the instructions for Android Revolution doesn't say a word of warning about that (as far as my eyes can see). The OTA I have is for 2.22.707.3 and I see Android Revolution is based on 2.22.401.4. Is it close enough to not cause any known issues?

If I'm already reflashing, it would also be nice to understand what the rest of the Android Revolution mods means (there was something there about sqlite optimizations and some others..) I couldn't find explanations anywhere on xda or the web.

Thanks again! I must say that as this being a newer device and less popular than i9300, the information is still a little scarce, but the people here are really nice and helpful!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
What you need to see is the firmware is 2.22.xxx.x or higher. Or the hboot is 3.18 or higher to have the ROM work flawlessly.

See in my sig .. with 2.22.707.3 I can use any custom Sense ROM without issues. In fact it works better as the radio region is correct for my region. If you're from Asia, it is not wise to have a EU radio region even it works.

Previously on other device like HTC One X people were talking about hboot and now people are talking about firmware 2.22 ... actually it means the same thing. You need a newer firmware/hboot to run 4.4.3 ROM.

I won't comment about mods/tweaks as I don't use them. You can search more info of them on XDA.

A tip how to search thing .. on google type for example "sqlite optimizations xda", you'll find many info on that.

It says sqlite optimizations - Faster access to contacts, messages etc...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talla1:
Thanks again for the quick response..

I see from your sig that I'm going to end up with the same version as yours, so I should be OK, but I don't understand HOW DO YOU KNOW this stuff?? If I want to UNDERSTAND this and not just follow instructions blindly - what do I do? More specifically:

1) What IS the version of the firmware? Isn't 2.22.707.3 the stock ROM version? I understand that flashing OTA also upgrades my firmware at the same time, but isn't it strange that it doesn't have a specific number?

2) Is hboot 3.18 means that the BOOTLOADER version is 3.18? Is updating OTA also updates hboot as part of the firmware? I couldn't find any explanations on what exactly IS hboot (not in searching and not in the FAQ).

3) How do you know what is the exact prerequisites for Android Revolution (or any rom for that matter)? How do you know you need 2.22.xx firmware and 3.18 hboot? Is there an obvious reason that I don't understand as to why this information is not written explicitly in the post?

Thanks allot.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Read a lot, there are many fantastic information on XDA and learn from experience ... thing that I did and still doing since my first HTC device, an ELF in 2008.

Firmware does have a version no. It is written on the android-info.txt. You can find it in the firmware.zip

ROM version is written on build.prop

More or less yes ... when you boot to bootloader ... it is clearly written there as hboot-3.18.0.0000 if it is 3.18, 3.16.0.0000 if it is 3.16

hboot is something like a bios in a PC. This is where all partitions are, like system partition, user partition, recovery partition and so on.

See ... I can find one info on hboot : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2700666

When a ROM base is 2.22.xxx.x then you need a firmware same or bigger than 2.22.xxx.x

People with 2.23.xxx.x firmware don't need to downgrade to 2.22.xxx.x as the firmware is new enough for the ROM with base 2.22.xxx.x

Why the information is not written in the thread, that is up to OP. Most of the time OP expect people will know what to do when there is a new base ROM.
