[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
To update a custom ROM (aka dirty flash):

1. Nandroid backup

2. Flash ROM

3. Reboot

A dirty flash or a clean flash is not different for each rom. The way you update CM is the same on DU for instance.

You can always do a dirty flash while updating a custom rom expect if you are having FCs or if the dev says that a clean flash is recommended for a specific update.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] edwazere:
Hi, I've got a problem with my Universal.

I upgraded to one of the newer roms, I think the last one was the imate one, but it required the bootloader to be upgraded.

The phone was working perfectly for about 3 weeks, then suddenly the phone stopped working at all, and the version numbers on the bootup says NO GSM instead of a version number.

I'm not certain I've not dropped the phone, as the usb port seems a bit loose, and I need to hold the lead to one side to charge.

I can't seem to flash any radio rom version now, it just stops at 0% for ages then gives me a try again dialog. (The actual error message is Error 114 Radio Rom Upgrade Error.)

I'm not quite sure what to do from here, as the phone is unusable and I can't seem to get the bootloader rom file to try to downgrade to the previous bootloader.

Any suggestions?

Sorry if this is all a bit unintelligable, I'm very jetlagged.

If your phone is rooted, grab build.prop editor on play store and change the product model number to SM-G900F that's an S5 and you'll see hundreds of apps for the gear.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wotta:
I'm not a newbie, so this isn't about the safety of rooting. My other units recently have included Verizon and a non-cellular Samsung tablet, both of which are blocked from getting updates if rooted. And in the distant past, AT&T did the same thing (with the Motorola Backflip.) Since some of the updates were radio improvements, that was rather unfortunate.

Are there still such problems with rooting? Do the ROMs make it out quickly anyhow (as they did with the Backflip)? I'm good with the technical risk of rooting, but would like to assess the bureaucratic risk before diving in.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Root itself will not block OTA, from my understanding. However, any system files that were altered, uninstalled, frozen, etc. by root need to be returned to the "stock" condition, as this will block OTA from installing (all system files are checked before OTA install).

Also, stock recovery needs to be installed.

But my opinion, is that especially on the AT&T variant, OTAs have no place on a rooted/modded phone, anyway. One of the great things about being bootloader unlocked, rooted, etc. is that you can install ROMs based on other carrier's software, especially the international version, which gets updates before we do.

For instance, I've already been running Android 4.4.3 version of Sense (international base) for a few weeks now, with the AT&T release nowhere in sight (supposed to be "soon", but who know exactly when?).

Some folks do like the AT&T base features, such as Visual Voicemail support and ISIS. But I don't personally care for them. And there are ROMs built with that functionality as well. Wonders_Never_Cease for instance has a 4.4.3 ROM based on the Dev Edition OTA, with VVM and ISIS added.

Moral of the story, IMO root and don't worry about OTAs. The community here will take care of you. Or worst case you can restore the system files and stock recovery if you really want OTA.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wotta:
"No place" is a bit harsh, but I will forgive you the hyperbole for the sake of creative, if vapid, license. Largely I agree.

But "the community" doesn't tend to support custom hardware as well as the carrier. I go back a distance; you couldn't trust the then. In fairness, Verizon was the worst. AT&T was more like benignly evil - they'd have been more evil, but it would have taken too much effort and anyhow they already had the DeathStar logo so it would have been redundant.

Still, we're talking semi-custom phones. Does the T-Mobile version of the M8 have LTE 700? Not sure, but I'd guess just as little as the AT&T version has WiFi calling. (This stuff matters to me; I'd really rather have a Sony Z1 Compact - more form-factor friendly to my size - but no LTE 700 and no Wi-Fi calling.)

Good to know that rooting probably won't block OTA. Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
I did explicitly say in my opinion OTA has no place on modded phones. I strongly believe this, although it doesn't mean that others are completely entitled to have a different opinion

I don't see my phrasing as "harsh" but I meant it to be interchangeable with "In my opinion OTAs do not belong on modded phones" if that makes you feel better. After 4 HTC devices, the number of times I've installed OTA, or even felt the desire to . . . ZERO.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ne0zone75:
Good evening,

I am currently offering several SlimKAT ports (S4 mini and Transformer Pad). Recently i've sold those devices and still want to offer my ports for download.

There comes my Android SDK emulator questions :

-> HowTO test a recovery image out using it from command line ?

-> HowTO test a custom ROM out using it also from the command line ?

-> Is there a better way to emulate an Android device than the one offered by official SDK ?

NB

:

-> I've already created an AVD config file for each of my target devices using the Android SDK GUI.

-> My OS is Linux Mint 17 x64.

Thank you for helping me out ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vvh:
Has anyone experienced missing files on their sdcard or internal? I'm going through my gallery (Quickpic) and noticed an entire folder I had is gone, along with a few others. I also used ES File Explorer to see if they were there, and tried connecting it to my computer via USB, and nothing. Got a few backup apks missing too...

Is there anyway to get these files back?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I've experienced some of my apps just randomly disappearing when I take out my SD card and put it back in then I have to reinstall them. The icons still remain on my home screen but the apps won't run. As far as pictures go, no I've never had anything of the sort happen, not even things such as .txt files.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vvh:
Before my pictures went missing, an entire folder full of fdroid apps disappeared, I thought I had deleted them by mistake, however, now that an entire folder of pictures is missing, I'm sure my phone is deleting things off of it somehow... Suppose I'll format it all and flash a new rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jayjam99:
Before you format you could always try one of the numerous sd card file recovery tools out there.

Something like this.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Vvh:
I tried a few from the playstore to no avail. Though they did work, they didn't pull any of the recently missing files, just incredibly old and mostly corrupt files. I'll save this one for next time though (because with computers, there's always a next time x_x ), thank you though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] guyinzona:
I have had my One for a couple of weeks and used the Weaksauce thread to gain root over the weekend. Getting and keeping root was/is not a problem but when I try to open and run SuperSu I am told that the binaries are out of date and need to be updated. I click OK and SuperSu works for a few seconds before reporting that the installation failed. Once again, this does not affect my root as SuperSu asks for root permission on programs like Titanium Backup and grants it. The problem is that I can't run SuperSu at all on its own.

I saw this same problem come up towards the end of the long Weaksauce thread but no solutions short of going the whole 10 yards with Firewater to unlock the bootloader. This is my first experience with a rooted phone so I am taking things slow for now and am wondering if anybody has found a solution for somebody with root access but a locked bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] juancaperez2000:
Im in the same page than you, just thinking on take the OTA then run weakesauce or factory reset and re run weakesauce but not sure of this will help
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
If it bothers you then I believe your only option would be to use SunShine. SunShine will root and S-OFF your phone, it's very simple and only costs $25 and is a sure fire to work for the time being.

I know you mentioned you wanted to take things slow but there really is no risk in using SunShine to S-OFF & root your phone and if not being able to access SuperSU really bothers you then it's probably your best and only option (that I'm aware of). Just read up a bit and get educated on the process and risk and what you need to do and it will be very simple and you'll understand everything making it way less worrisome.

Also on the assumption you may be doing it like this because you do plan to use Firewater in the near future, if your phone is very new (few weeks to a month) then most likely Firewater is not going to work on it. It was recently patched on the newer firmwares and has a 50/50 chance to work, probably lower chance than that but thats just being ambitious.

If on the off chance you still don't want to try SunShine or anything involving S-OFF yet then my apologies for wasting your time. Happy learning!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] guyinzona:
Thanks for the reply. I had a feeling Firewater may not work anymore which is why I have just stopped at root for now. Probably for the same reason that SuperSu is not cooperating. Is there any problem with just leaving things as they are and not updating the binaries (unless I make the jump to with Sunshine)?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Nope it's perfectly fine, as long as it works. Sunshine will update the binaries/etc whenever it roots your phone I think. At least thats what I believe happened with mine, not sure though as that was a few weeks ago.

LS;DR No problem with leaving things as they are.

Does this replace the kernel on stock ROMs?

Also, does this modify the eMMC partitioning to store the second ROM system files or can you use external storage such as a USB stick via USB OTG

[Moto G Android Development] TeamMex:
Has you patched memory allocator's and kexec the kernel? Port Multirom is easy xD I have the sourse moded on my github but kexec isn't easy so tell me about your kernel patch
[Moto G Android Development] montamer:
The stock_boot_patched.img and PA-falcon-kernel-signed.zip are patched to support kexec. You need to flash one of the kernels based on your primary rom, before flashing multirom.zip.

I think new version of multirom doesn't mess with the eMMC partitioning and I have not tried flashing secondary rom on USB OTG.
[Moto G Android Development] montamer:
Yes the kernels shared are patched with modified kexec_hardboot.patch from Tasssadar ;). I will share the changes soon.
[Moto G Android Development] montamer:
Instruction should be similar to any other multirom flashing. check the original post from Tasssadar for more clear instructions.

Be S-OFF ( Security OFF )

TWRP Recovery

Your HTC ONE

What if I am S-ON?

Not A problem. But you will need to flash rom boot.img via FASTBOOT commands using Windows CMD

Be UNLOCKED!

Steps For S OFF

Download ROM to SDCARD

Reboot to recovery

Make a Nandroid backup before flashing SD Rom

Once Nandroid was done, do a Full Wipe ( data/cache/dalvik )

Select Install, go to downloaded Rom location

Select Rom zip, install, yes, swipe!!

Once installation is finished, Reboot ! Done.

Steps For S On

Unlocked Device via HTCDEVWEB

Download fastboot

In your PC create a folder call "fastboot" path must be "C:/"

Extract into your PC the downloaded file, Inside "Fastboot" folder, Path "c:/fastboot"

Now extract from Rom.zip (SkyDragon ONE Rom) the file called "boot.img" and place it in your fastboot folder

Put your ONE into FASTBOOT USB MODE ( first hold down POWER button and, then VOL down, you will see button lights blinking. Once Your ONE Turns off ( between ten and twenty seconds ) release and re press same buttons but now at the same time...till you get Bootloader Screen.

Once in Bootloader you will find info such as S-on or S-off, Menu with Fastboot, Recovery, Reboot etc.

Press Fastboot and connect your ONE to your PC.

You Will see Fastboot turns into FASTBOOT USB, now you are OK.

In your PC open CMD (terminal), just press MENU in windows and in the search small windows, type CMD and Enter.

A black windows OS-like will open, you will need to do the following:

Using "cd.." means "cd dot dot", just in case, go back till get this path "C:/"

Once in "C:/" you will type "cd fastboot"

Now path turns into "C:/fastboot"

OK, now we need to type two commands

"fastboot erase cache" press enter

You will see a message like "sending...." at the end will say "ok"

Then last one

"fastboot flash boot boot.img" press enter.

Once says "OK", we are good.

Time to unplug Your ONE, and press Hboot, well, the idea here is to get RECOVERY

Once in Recovery Mode, we install the Rom as normal, remember to full wipe manually!!! (data/cache/dalvik)

Select "INSTALL" swipe, when it is done, reboot!

That s ALL [/B]

A kernel is to a rom as a motor is to a car, you can use a car with out the stock motor it may be able to run but if the car stop working you won't be able to go to the original service from your car saying that something happened please repair, because the won't be able, they don't fix that motors and you changed the motor by yourself.
