[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westonnate:
I got a new HTC One m8 from Tmobile a few weeks ago and instantly went to root and find out about S on and how I can get rid of it. I followed a rooting tutorial on unlockr diligently and unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP and SuperSU. I moved on to S-off the device and got to the last step of the tutorial where it starts to "chug" bottles(Firewater). After the first bottle, it tells me I'm out of luck and that my phone is patched. This confused me. Does this mean that my phone is forever stuck S-on? or does it mean that the developers of firewater haven't developed an S-off method for the newest version of HTC's software and that I simply have to wait.

This is just my first problem, even though I can't flash custom ROMs I was fine because I was willing to give the stock ROM a chance and just tweak it with root privileges, but no, the next time I had to restart for some various reason it starts bootlooping every few minutes. I swear I didn't do anything wrong when rooting. Is it just too new and the newest HTC software makes the rooting process obsolete making it impossible to root?

So I end up wiping the phone not being able to save all the pictures I took on my trip in the mountains. My phone is still rooted but the phone is wiped. I go about thinking the solution is fixed and when I decide to nandroid backup, I go into recovery, do a simple backup and when I restart it goes straight back to the infuriating bootloop. A simple nandroid backup shouldn't make it go into a bootloop.

So I decide to relock the bootloader, install the stock recovery and software again and start over. Maybe I really did mess up rooting. I go through the process again and low and behold my phone goes into a bootloop again.

I'm so sick and tired of this phone and I'm not sure why it always seems to happen to me. I follow the tutorials closely and it always ends up ****ting on me.

It recently went into a bootloop after a good 3 day run where I managed to keep the phone on the entire time. Had to restart because the wifi antenna wasn't working and another bootloop ensued. I decided to make this thread to see if any other new users are experiencing similar difficulties and seeing if anyone knows a cause or maybe a solution. Right now in the process of unrooting and going back to stock.

It would be a shame if there really is no way for me to unlock the full potential of my new phone. Almost wishing I had bought a nexus.

Thank you for anyone who was willing to read that and to anyone who takes the time to write a response. Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
If you wanna fix it quick then just do an RUU (t-mobile one) and after you've done that use Sunshine to root, unlock and S-OFF your phone. All though Sunshine costs $25 it is a sure fire to work.

You can find a tutorial for the RUU in the t-mobile forum I believe, not sure as im replying to this before I go to bed but it should have one. If by some chance "TMO" doesn't mean T-Mobile then my bad. Anyways if you get confused take your time and do your research or wait for someone else or me to assist you further.

Also if you used Xposed then that could be the problem, I've had it randomly bootloop me after days of use, just google the Xposed deactivate script zip or Uninstaller script and flash it to remove it. If you don't have it then don't do this part.

Lastly I doubt you'll regret buying an M8 after you get it setup properly, it's a great phone but of course that's just mine and a lot of people's opinion. Anyways good luck and hope one of my solutions fix it! If not then don't be afraid to ask more questions or request further assistance whether from me or someone else.

It does, although T-Mobile is a huge carrier in Europe, and AFAIK only the US T-Mob variant has an RUU (and not immediately clear what version the OP has).

You can flash custom roms without s-off, and have you tried wiping cache and fixing permissions? Idk if that'd solve it or not but worth a try.

I've been trying out some roms, and used RSD lite to flash back to stock a few times now. But somehow my device has started to default boot into recovery, and the only way to get into the system is use normal boot from fastboot.

Anyone know why and how to fix this?

Is this current firmware rootable or do I need to downgrade via Odin to e6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] louforgiveno:
Just to be clear, this is the T-Mobile thread and the most recent version is NF4 and it is rootable. Not sure if the version you're asking for was a typo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RealityFails:
I know this is the T-Mobile section, I have a T-Mobile note 3. But my firmware is on f6 and not f4 and when I Googled it nothing came up. Here's a screenshot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] louforgiveno:
Looks like a S5 Rom and S5 baseband
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RealityFails:
Is this good or bad?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] widto08:
Did you just get the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] louforgiveno:
I really don't know, it could just be a side effect of a custom rom. Anyway lets assume you have already tripped knox, you should be able to run NF4 full firmware and then root with cf autoroot. I'm currently on NF4 knox tripped root and custom recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RealityFails:
But my note 3 is on stock. Touchwiz and everything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RealityFails:
What can I do to check if it's a custom rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rjohnstone:
How do you figure that? The version numbering doesn't match the S5.

Kernel and baseband info clearly state they are for the N900T.

The version number and time stamp look like a new release (Aug 15) for the T-Mobile Note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RealityFails:
So am I the only one on this firmware? Can I still downgrade to e6 root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Vegasden:
I googled it - NF6 is definitely an S5 firmware as louforgiveno stated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] louforgiveno:
Yeah from what i could gather it appears that way, however I'm interested in the ".dm" at the end of the build number in his screen shot. Not sure what that is??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] louforgiveno:
Wow, in the q&a thread there's a user who posted a screenshot with NF9 and it also has the .dm in the build number. All these updates...really not used to it....not sure how i feel about that....?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike86325:
Besides installing a custom rom of course.. I just rooted my girlfriend's phone after she saw a notification today for an OTA. Saw some of the verizon guys suggested freezing SDM.apk with titanium backup, but I couldn't find it in the list. Others mentioned just renaming it with the .bak extension, but once again I couldn't find it in the /system/app partition using ES file explorer. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to prevent losing root via OTAs? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gregsarg:
For ATT...

Use titanium Backup and freeze "ATT SOFTWARE UPDATE "...apk from within the application list....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mike86325:
Thats all it takes? Awesome thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gregsarg:
Yes...that will stop the OTA apk from polling the update server every 24 hours...or every time the device boots...

Given the fact the ATT just sent an OTA to the active this week...which patched the geohot root exploit....I went ahead and froze the following list just to make sure I didn't wake up to any bad surprises...

(yes...they will force push an OTA without user permission)...

Att software update

Local FOTA

security policy updates

Samsung push service (unless using sammy bloat apps )

All knox crap

And wssyncmlnps (used to freeze this on older devices as it was related to FOTA stuff...

Hi fellas.

Please check out my review on this device:

http://www.absolutesurf.com/articles/dopod_p800w/

Towards the end of the review, I have listed 2 bugs found. Can you also let me know if you notice such bugs? I'm particular about the standard input bug especially. Thanks!

Secondly,

Lets say i want to use the O2's or T-mobile's ROM, is that possible? Is there a way to flush out my ROM into an installer so that I can install it back in if I were to send the device to Dopod for one reason or another?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] apap:
Nice review!

I have a Greek rom so that my input panels are somewhat different than yours (Greek keyboard and I do not have the T9 phonepad input). In general I have not had this upward-shifting bug. Ocassionally it has happened when I have activated the transcriber while on the today screen...but this has been the exception rather than the rule.

A small bug that bugs me regarding the input is the long lag when shifting from one input method to the other. I have considered installing calligrapher as a solution to this problem (as it has keyboard and transcriber together)...but I do not like to crowd main memory.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MasK:
Thanks :)

Yes, shifting between inputs does lag a little. The phonepad I'm using is taken from this forum as well. You can simply install it.

I think I gotta hard reset my device and install other stuffs one at a time to determine the root cause. Just this little problem that makes the device imperfect..
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Mask, nice write up, with ref to the car holder, are you sure it can't be bent? the one supplied with my P3300 looks the same and that can be bent (it just takes a fair bit of effort) - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] victoradjei:
I can confirm that I do not have these issues on my HTC P3300.

I have also mapped the mouse pointer to a hardware button. When I click it when TomTom is running, the button reverts to the default (internet explorer) but TomTom already has a pointer for exploring the map using the scroll ball! Also I do not need to do a reset upon exit of TomTom. The button goes back to mouse pointer.

Did not see the shifting input panel when I toggled between keyboard and phonepad (also from this forum):)

It could be model related, or Mapking could be the culprit here:(

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MasK:
Oh my!

Yes.. it bends! Initially it felt pretty hard and I was afraid I will snap it. Thanks for pointing that out.

As for the other probs.. I willbe doing a hard-reset.. and slowly install apps one at a time, to see what exactly is the culprit... Hmmm
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] MasK:
After the hard reset, I still have the problem on the extreme bare minimum device!

Someone help me answer my ROM question pls.. I think I wanna change to a P3300 ROM. How is it anyway? Thanks!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meow You.:
Did a little research last night on why Google Play Music wasn't reading my music files on the external storage. What I've gathered is that Kit Kat isn't allowing apps to gain permission into other folders. I had to move some files around for them to actually be played in Play music. Same goes for MX Player.... It's very annoying with this work around. I understand the "security" part of not allowing apps into other folders, but Google Music?!? Come on now! It's making the SD card almost useless. And yes, I've read the theories on Google pushing their cloud services on us

I'm curious what most of you are doing? I'm not rooted as well.

The one thing I was afraid I was gonna have to do...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustLok:
I don't believe that that is the SD write problem, I do believe it's the .nomedia files in your music folder.

You can check to see if there are any by loading your SD card on a PC, enable viewing of ALL system files and doing a root search of the sd card for .nomedia files. Select and delete any that are found then mount the SD card in your phone and see if it can see your files again.

BTW, the read/write permissions on stock ROM is for non-stock apps. Any apps that were already installed on the phone, such as Google Play Music, have permissions to read and write to SD cards. That is why I think there might be .nomedia files on your SD card, they are not needed or essential, just used to hide files from being read by apps and programs, you can delete any and all that you find.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3phemera1:
After a few months of being away from my tablet, it somehow became soft bricked when I tried to factory reset. After a series of frustrating attempts to recover it, I was finally able to flash it with a rooted stock (N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_XAR) and it worked; however, the SPen no longer functions. The tablet recognizes when it is placed in its holder or when its removed, but applying the SPen to the screen in any way result in no recognition.

I remember reading on another thread that I need to install the original factory image and update from there, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I tried installing a custom ROM (Omni using 4.4.4) hoping that it would work, but it hasn't. I'm imagining that it has something to do with the SPen digitizer not being recognized at all.

I would really be extremely happy if someone could point me in the right direct with how to get my SPen working.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3phemera1:
New info: I've already determined that the pen itself works, as it is recognized by my T902 including pressure sensitivity. It seems that no matter what ROM I try, I cannot get the S-Pen digitizer to recognize the pen. Prior to the soft bricking, the S-Pen worked fine. It was only after I was able to flash it back to stock that the Pen no longer worked.

Is there a location where I can actually download the very first stock firmware for the device (and then update to the latest official version) to see if that solves anything?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3phemera1:
Holy heck! I fixed it! A fresh flash didn't work (stuck on Samsung logo) so I had to do this

1) Went to http://www.samfirmware.com/ and made an account (it's required if you want to download firmware) [Version: Android 4.0.4]

2) Downloaded the oldest firmware available (apparently, "Country: Cellular south" means US)

3) Installed custom recovery in Odin's download mode (Power+Volume Down). I used the latest TWRP and flashed an ODIN version of it. Note (heh): Don't use auto-reboot as you need to manually boot into recovery (Power+Volume Up) so that it doesn't default to stock recovery after you flashed a custom one

4) Boot into custom recovery and Advanced wipe everything (which means everything except your internal and external SD cards)

5) Now, set it back into ODIN downloader (Power+Volume down)

6) Use Odin to flash the Android 4.0.4 version you downloaded.

7) Wait a fairly significant amount of time for it to finish.

8) Booted up beautifully and recognized the S-Pen.

I'm posting here because I've a little (big) problem with my HTC Sensation. Indeed when I turn on, I've a boot loop and the factory reset do a boot loop too...

I think it can be due to an app called "Simple root swap". With it, I created a swap on my SD Card and I check the box for start the swap at the beginning. I don't know if it can make problems like this...

I precise that my HTC Sensation is unlocked by HTCDev Method, rooted, HBOOT 1.27 but still S-ON. I've already try reboot and factory reset with and without SD Card, no change... I've access to the android stock bootloader.

Please, could somebody help me ?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlexiPack:
I'm currently on a debloat mission. I've searched but I haven't found a definitive list for the S5. My recommendation is to first 'freeze' rather thank uninstall apps and services (I'm using Titanium Backup). You need to be rooted for this. This way is you duff something up it's easy to unfreeze it.

ResetSecPhone 1.4 (com.gmail.junk.trev.resetsecphone)

ResetSyui 1.0 (com.gmail.junk.trev.resetsyui)

With Gmail in the package name you'd assume it's something to do with Gmail. I've frozen them but it doesn't seem to have affected Gmail.

There's a comprehensive list of bloatware for the S4 here. I think anything in that list that is also on the S5 should be safe to remove/freeze.
