Are you still stuck?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] axeseven:
Yes, flashing the ruu didn't work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hawknest:
Have you tried flashing recovery again ?.

Try flashing philz recovery . Make sure it's m7wlv version

rename to recovery.img and add to platform tools folder

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

Try rebooting into recovery
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] axeseven:
I can't seem to find a version of Philz recovery for m7wlv. Am I correct in thinking I need the m7vzw version from https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/m7vzw/ here?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
You are on older firmware, have you tried flashing newer firmware and see if ruu mode works after flashing firmware? You are s-off, so you can downgrade when you ruu.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] axeseven:
This is worth a shot, I guess. Is there any particular version of the firmware or might any newer than 1.10.605.15 work?

EDIT:

After trying this, I get the same remote:not allowed error as above.

Additionally, after flashing philz recovery - which the console says is successfully flashed, when I reboot to recovery, it still hangs at the blue teamwin logo as before.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] hawknest:
Yeah the bottom one .. sorry . M7wlv is the official name but yeah that one

^^^^ do that for 2 minutes and dont let go.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] replica9000:
Doesn't look like I've scratched it. Looks like I've ruined whatever coating that originally came on it. Wondering if it's something that can be fixed. I can still take pictures, but they come out a bit soft.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mlin:
I looked around online and found this to be a somewhat common issue. I followed the instructions in an article I read to use a drop of water and credit card to remove the film/coating. This worked great for me and my pictures stew now crystal clear
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] replica9000:
I'll looking into doing that. I just hope the glass underneath that coating isn't as easily scratched. I haven't had this issue with any of my previous HTC devices.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] The Stig 04:
It's a wide known issue that a bunch of people have tried. I myself did it with alcohol a qtip to get the coating off and microfiber cloth to wipe. Takes time but it works.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gregory_classy:
I actually did this with a qtip and toothpaste. Cleared the foggy pictures right up!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] evoman:
Qtip and toothpaste is what I did and it worked great!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] replica9000:
Thanks for the info. I did do a little bit of the lens with a credit card earlier. Did seem to make a good improvement. I'll try the q-tip thing next to finish it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RikRong:
After you get it clean, get the lens protectors from SlickWraps or make your own.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
They distort pictures, if you ever use flash they will make a ghosting effect on the pictures, but it shouldn't affect daytime shots as much as night shots.

I wouldn't use anything, I scratched my coating off a couple months ago and don't have any other scratches yet. I have the phone in my pocket all the time.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RikRong:
I've never had any issues with them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] darienms1986:
If I remember correctly, it isn't a protective coating, it's an anti-reflective coating. Could serve dual purpose but not positive
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
Well I have.

I put that slickwrap thing on perfectly and never touched the underside during application. They definitely distort photos just as any kind of protector or film would do on any lens. The first one is actually with only the smaller lens covered, but you can clearly see if the light reflects it at the correct angle it'll definitely mess up the picture.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] replica9000:
I've been reading a couple threads on this, and apparently that coating is supposed to be a UV coating. Also seems the lens in only plastic.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] drumz0rz:
The lens is glass. The coating scratches. You can just alcohol or toothpaste apparently to remove it. I tried toothpaste and a q-tip myself and managed to clean up the center enough to get me clear photos again.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jbarcus81:
What makes me mad is I've had this thing in a case almost since day one and the few times I've used a cloth or q-tip to clean the lens.. it seems scratched to hell and back... I only just noticed it.. and I'm beside myself.. My images are fuzzy and seem a strange tint ... almost a yellowish tone when taking a picture of something white.. I've used alcohol.. no go.. am I left with a phone now? LoL.. Sucks this happened because I take very good care of my phones.. my DNA just has 1 scratch on its lens and has never been in a case..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
magic eraser or toothpaste with a qtip will work very easily, I kept mine in a case since day 1 also.

Don't sweat too much about it, it's only a film layer. Mine looks brand new and I repaired it about 3 months ago. It's a manufacturing defect, no rhyme or reason for it. My sister doesn't use a case and hers still has no scratches, mine was scratched to hell within 2 months and mine was in a good case.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jbarcus81:
I hope so.. I'll give it a shot.. I just couldn't figure out how this one got so messed up when my old HTC DNA still has the SINGLE scratch on it that I remember putting there.. And it's never been in a case and my nieces/nephew use it a lot for games and taking pictures..
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BadUsername:
It's just luck of the draw.

Toothpaste and a magic eraser are both softer than the glass and harder than the film. It'll scratch the film right off and won't damage the glass at all. Just keep working it until it comes off completely.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] replica9000:
I used isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip to clean the rest of the film off of the lens. Took about 5 minutes. I don't know what HTC did differently, because my M7 or any of my previous HTC phones haven't had this issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jbarcus81:
I'll try the toothpaste route.. Alcohol hasn't worked.. But I know I haven't scratched this lens at all.. I'm careful, and it being in a case all the time? It's never flush with whatever surface I have it on.. So.. Who knows.. I'll hit HTC up if I can't figure it out...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jbarcus81:
IT WORKED!!!! Toothpaste.. followed with some alcohol.. It's glorious!!! I still have a slight 'ring' around the lens, but it's not visible in pictures.. Awesome!!! I never would have thought to try toothpaste.. I use it on my Explorer's headlights when they fog/yellow and just never would have put it together.. Thanks a million!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ModestZombie:
Just wanted to throw my two cents in and confirm that the toothpaste and q tip suggestion works! Like others, I can still see small ring of the coating on the edges of the lens but for the small effort it took I'm okay with that. Now my girlfriend can go back to taking all the dang selfies she wants and only has to worry about getting permanently stuck with that duck face she keeps making. T_T
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Hussain_Salam:
Hello Everyone, So i have a Sony Xperia J Unlocked Boot Loader + Custom MIUI Rom, I wanted to go back to stock rom, but when i use flashtool and place my device on flashmode a green LED indicates on my device like usual but on my pc screen it says ' USB Device not Recognized' so now i can't flash stock ftf, is there any other way to get to stock rom or any way to resolve this problem?

(I have a 64-Bit Windows 8.1 Laptop)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dzepar:
First select ftf that you want to flash on Flashtool, wait for pop-up window that tells to connect your phone than connect your phone. If you have drivers installed and disabled drivers verification it should work.

Good Luck ;)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Hussain_Salam:
Thank you for your time & for looking into my case, However i've managed to solve the issue, It was due to a fault Data Sync Cable I simply used the one for my S4 and it worked as normal.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dzepar:
Your welcome. Glad you solved ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Supposedly since in the settings it says "custom" instead of "normal" under device status (meaning it's been rooted before), it's pinged Sprint's database and blocked the ESN from being activated on my account. Is this allowed? I am having to send my LG G2 out for repair and I was hoping I'd be able to use the Epic Touch until I get my G2 back but nope. Makes me want to switch from Sprint today.

EDIT: Running completely stock ROM, GB27.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
I don't think this is allowed. Have you tried doing it online? Did a customer service rep tell you that? If both phones are yours and your bill is current, then it should not be a problem getting the phone activated.

Sheila M.: Okay, please give me a moment to make the changes.

Sheila M.: Can you please confirm from where you purchased the device?

Customer: BestBuy

Customer: I have hex if you need it.

Sheila M.: It seems unlocked or rooted device which cannot activate on the account until it will reconfigure.

Sheila M.: Please provide the HEX so that I can check if it works.

Customer: okay 1 sec

Sheila M.: Okay.

Customer: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Sheila M.: Thank you, it is same. You will need to contact our technical support team in this regard or I can create a ticket from here for the device issue.

-----------------------------------------

Never in my life has Sprint denied phone activation for rooted. I haven't unlocked the phone, only rooted. I have no idea what their technicians will do either but I don't have time at the moment to talk with them so I had her create a ticket.

EDIT: I tried doing the activation via my account and it errors out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
OK. That is totally weird. I would suggest using Rwilco12's one-click to get back to unrooted/stock and try from there. I activated my spare phone, but it was not rooted and it was done via my account. Can you get back to "fresh out the box"?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mkfryan:
Did you try to use it on ting or any other byod MNVO? I had the similar thing happen when I tried to bring my LG marquee that I had used for one month on ting. About 3 days with a support ticket open the got it back on their network. I don't understand how sprint could see if it had been rooted and blacklist it as a result

Sent from my SS ROMed S5
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KennyG123:
So this device has been activated on your account before? That is something I have not heard of before either but maybe something has changed since they were purchased.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
I'll give it a shot. I did Odin stock rooted.

Nope. No MNVO. Only Sprint. It was active on the account back in Feb 2014. I'll see if the tickets helps.

Not a single late payment on my account. Been with Sprint since '99. I just activated a stock rooted phone on my line the other day and it was fine. I'm thinking the Samsung software on the Epic Touch pings Sprint or something. Very inconvenient from Sprint...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigmike6200:
Try the Odin stock unrooted. If I am not mistaken, you need to be stock to activate a phone. I beleive someone posted that it was a bad idea to activate a rooted phone.

Am I Able to use the DS3/DS4 on the Shield Portable? If yes, some questions:

*Am I Able to use as a Bluetooth controller instead of a USB controller?

*Am I Able to use it to emulate the MOGA Controller? It is cheaper and easier to buy a DS3/4 controller than a MOGA or Shield controller in Brazil.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
I've had my Z1C a little less than a month. I started using a screen protector immediately because of all the warnings I saw here. In the first case I used one of those thin plastic protectors; I didn't like the look or feel. I'm currently using a glass protector; better look and feel. BUT, I really would like to use the phone without any screen protector. I had a Samsung Galaxy S2 for 3-1/2 years that I used without a screen protector (or case). The screen had NO scratches on it when I donated it to charity (the case was a bit roughed up). If any of you have had the Z1C more than 3 months and DON'T use a screen protector, can you tell me how well the screen is holding up? Do you have regrets about NOT using a protector? What is your opinion of all the "must use a screen protector" warnings.

I really like this phone, except for the whole screen delicacy issue. Your opinions are valued. Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] SXUsr:
Until they start making Phones with 100% scratch proof/resistant glass then I'll never be without one, the first task before even switching a new Phone on is to apply the provided or pre purchased screen protector because each scratch on the screen directly or even the ASF lowers resale value imo.

I don't believe anyone can properly use a Phone for 3 years and not get a single scratch.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Iruwen:
My I9001 (Galaxy S Plus) also didn't have any scratches without ever having used a case or protector. I'm just using one with the Z1C because it was twice as expensive, I don't really think I'd need one.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
Not sure what your definition of "properly" is, but I did use my Galaxy S2 for more than 3 years in both the jungles of Costa Rica and the urban jungles of the US, with nary a scratch. ? Never used a case or protector and always carried it in my front pants pocket. Made sure it was the only thing in that pocket. Am I unique? I doubt it. There must be at least one other soul out there with the same luck. ☺
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
Glad to hear our Galaxy experiences were similar. And like you, with all the negative comments on screen scratches, I'm using a protector too. Just would prefer not to. In my case, I paid much more for the S2 than this new Z1. Still, I'd like to keep the screen as undamaged as possible. It's hard for me to believe screens have gotten softer, rather than harder. Might the issue be a bit exaggerated? That's why I'm looking for responses from users not using protection.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] SXUsr:
Hmm...

[YOUTUBE]YkR0yQm8pGw[/YOUTUBE]

...(skip to 1:00) well that's interesting. I think the main problem with Sony is that the logo is baked into the ASF so if you remove it you remove the logo which I certainly don't want to do, but even then given the search results for gorilla glass scratched, I still wouldn't want to be without one.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] rebecker:
So, it seems that the issue is not the softness of the glass, it's the softness of the ASF. So, once the ASF is damaged (a week, a month, a year, perhaps 3 years ;) ) it can be removed and a glass protector or oleophobic coating liquid could be used to "refresh" the screen. So, what to do, what to do, hmmm? 1. Add a protector right away. 2. Remove the ASF once it gets damaged and add a protector. Or... 3. Remove the ASF once it gets damaged and use the coating liquid. :( None of these are really options I was looking for. So...again...anyone out there having good success with the Z1C's screen after 3 months of use who hasn't added any type of protection?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tik_Tak:
its like sex without a condom. much more fun without the protection, but you are afraid all the time :eek:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] Tograd:
I've had mine for about 7 months and there has begun to appear small 'smudge-like' blemishes on the ASF. They're practically unnoticeable in daily use, partly because they're so small and 'light', but mostly because they're covered up by all the fingerprints. This is how I came to this thread, I noticed the fingerprints and thought perhaps I should test a scratch-protector, decided to wipe the phone to show off my 'protector-free spotless screen', but lo and behold, there are (albeit very slight) imperfections below the smudges!

While considering the period of use (7 months, not long, but not short either), these 'scratches' are hardly noteworthy, but I could definitively image it becoming a "problem" after 2-3 years, though it certainly depends on the care of which you handle the phone. I too keep my phone alone in the pocket as I'm sure keys would make quick work of the seemingly malleable ASF. I've twice during this period dropped the phone behind the bed, but never any significant (read: pavement) or high-height drops. But if you want your phone to stay mint then I'd probably have to recommend a scratch-protector. Perhaps even wiping the phone with certain kind of fabrics create these slight blemishes as well, or at least worsens prior scuff-marks.

But I'm worried about your opinions on the screen-protectors since I too have always disliked them (from afar, I've never actually used them myself.) I used my phone without any sort of protection for the first 6.5 months, just recently I received a semi-thin (terrapin) case because I noticed how bad the plastic backside was getting scratched for some reason -- worst part is I like the terrapin, which I didn't think I would, so I wish I'd gotten around to it earlier. When compared to the plastic backside, the ASF is pure diamond.

Think I'll order some type of scratch-protector to see if I can live with it, but I'm also not too worried about making the screen unreadable by not using one.
