[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ash3m21:
Hello,

I am a newbie to the forum. I posses only limited knowledge.

I use a HTC one M7 developers editions. I dropped my phone and since then it had gone in a boot loop and I am not able to get through out of the home screen. It just keeps rebooting.

*** UNLOCKED ***

M7_ul S-ON

HBOOT - 1.57.0000

RADIO-4T.28.3218.04

OS - 6.07.1540.1

I tried to flash the RUU with the help of one of the threads here using an .exe file. As my phone was s-on, I was not able to use the zip. But it kept giving me a error 155. I then tried to have the s-off with FIREWATER to have an earlier RUU like 4.3 installed but I couldn't turn on the USB debugging from the inside of the phone.

I am not sure of what to do now. Any sort of help would be great.

Thanks a lot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
that ruu can not be flashed on your phone, because it require s-off.

I think you probably have hardware damage since your phone started bootlooping after you have dropped it. however you could try to restore the 6.07.1540.1 nandroid backup posted in the dev edition update thread in the general section and see if your phone can boot normaly
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
There is no RUU for your version, the RUU you tried to run was a lower version and you can not run a lower version with being S-ON. If you have TWRP installed you can try to flash a nandroid 6.07.1540.1.

If you can not get USB Debugging enabled, there is not much you can do except send the phone in for repair.

usb debugging not needed with fastboot he can flash TWRP
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhakjhuk1853:
i have the same problem

i have same problem as above

mine is htc 038 indian version soff phone it keeps rebooting

tried every possible method from ruu to custom rom no luck

phone keeps on rebooting every 10 seconds

:crying:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Let try these steps:

1. If you don't have fastboot and adb installed then use Minimal ADB & Fastboot TooL to install them. We will not be able to use the ADB commands but we will be able to use the fastboot commands.

2. Download and place in your adb and fastboot folder TWRP 2.7.1.2 and firmware 6.07.1540.1 (the unmodified one) rename to firmware.zip

3, We need to boot the phone into bootloader. Completely power off your phone. Once the phone is off, press and hold the Power Button + Vol Down the phone will boot into the bootloader. Using the Vol Buttons will move the selection up and down. Highlight or select FASTBOOT, then press the Pwr button to select. Once selected, you should see FASTBOOT where it previously said HBOOT.

4. Connect your phone to the computer, it should say FASTBOOT USB.

5. In the command window type the following commands:

[B][I][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot devices[/COLOR][/I][/B]

Note: Should see your "serial number device" Copy down your serial number

[B][I][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot oem rebootRUU[/COLOR][/I][/B]

Note: You should see a silver HTC logo come up on your phone after executing this command.
Note: if this command freezes, just disconnect the USB cable and hold the power and volume down buttons until the device reboots. Then, repeat the steps above again.

[I][B][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/COLOR][/B][/I]

Note: This will fail, message to say "please flush image again immediately" Just run the command again!

[B][I][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot flash zip firmware.zip[/COLOR][/I][/B]

Note: The green bar on the phone may not go to 100% of the bar ... but If you see completed on your computer command window, wait for a few seconds and move on.

[B][I][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot reboot[/COLOR][/I][/B]

Note: Your phone should boot up normally

If it doesn't or you just want to put the nandroid on your phone here is how it is done:

Unzip the nandroid and it will make its own folders on your PC. Since you don't have TWRP installed on your phone you will need to make some folders. Connect your phone to your PC, once it is connected open the Internal Storage folder. Here make a new folder called TWRP. Open that folder make a folder called BACKUPS. Open that folder and make a new folder the name will be your serial number that you copied earlier. Now copy the entire folder the nandroid made earlier to this folder.

Now boot into the bootloader like you did earlier.

[B][I][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.7.1.2-m7.img[/COLOR][/I][/B]

[B][I][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot erase cache[/COLOR][/I][/B]

[B][I][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot reboot-bootloader[/COLOR][/I][/B]

Once back in the bootloader, select bootloader and on the next screen select Recovery. When TWRP boots up you will have a number of tiles Backup is one and Restore is another. For sanity sake, I would backup the present system before I restored the nandroid. When you select Restore you should see two if you made a backup the one with the name of the file folder you moved is the nandroid backup. Select it and once it is complete select reboot system and you are done.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Cronis:
Hey all I have owned a Moto X (republic wireless) for almost a year now. Just a great phone, can't say enough about it. But it does have a few niggling quirks that i'm wondering if the Z1c might solve. Plus I have to switch phones now since my sprint coverage is horrible since I moved.

So this is mainly a shout out to anyone who has owned or had the chance to test the two phones. My first issue with the Moto X is its camera, its okish but only that. I would love to get something that could consistently take good shots(a little tweaking is ok). The Moto X still has very extreme color shift from shot to shot even after its camera app updates. I took a couple pics of a sea craft the other day and the colors shifted from the smiley face yellow you see here :rolleyes: to a very pale yellow in just a few seconds. Just annoying. So thoughts on the two cameras?

performance wise it does not really matter to me. The Z1c of course has the higher end tech, but both seem very smooth and have solid battery life. screen size is close enough and I prefer smaller to larger at this point. I don't game, so the GPU is not a big deal.

I do like having the SD card slot in the Z1c although I still have not put over 10 GB on my Moto X, so its not a huge deal. Still if the camera on the Z1c was adequate and could replace my PS that could change fast.

The Moto X(XT1053) does have all of Tmobile/AT&T bands covered while the Z1c is missing a major AT&T LTE (700) band. Thats a minor issue since I will be using the phone on Tmobile, or AT&T MVNOs which typically only have access to HSDPA+ anyways.

Price is very close on the two right now at about $400 each. The Moto X does seem to go on sale a lot though for around $300-$350.

So any thoughts/recommendations on the two phones? Anything I should know about the Z1c as far as issues/complaints? I have read about the flash bleed issue, but I don't mind replacing the back with glass, even though I would end up putting a carbon fiber skin case on it anyways.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] New Folder:
1. If i had Moto X it would be long dead cause of water damage.

2. Z1C camera is actually really good if you figure out manual mode (see downsides) and with 64gig sd card you don't have to worry running out of space doing that awesome video.

3. I've never seen a phone with so good battery life as Z1C - my average is 3 days standby with 5 and ½ hours screen on. It actually feels good to see everybodys battery dead at the end of day but i still have over 65% left :D

4. Here in Estonia we have fairly good LTE coverage but i tend not to use it cause it drains way faster than 3G+ which is fast enought.

Downsides of Z1C.

You have to replace plastic back to fix flash bleed (only issue when doing photos in dark) and replace horrible ASF on front with tempered glass = no warranty

You need to find best Manual camera settings cause superior auto sometimes fails altho it does excellent photos too.

I don't have other issues honestly, i would get the Compact, well i did and it's the first phone ever i am totally satisfied with.

This summer Z3 Compact will be launched with Z2 feathures. Keep that in mind.

I've owned galaxy s4,s2, htc one and some weird LG phone that had buttons on the back.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] crettke:
I currently own both the Moto X on republic wireless and an unlocked Z1C. I agree with the above points about the photos and the battery life blows the Moto X out of the water. The only thing i miss from the moto x is the active display, i find myself picking up the Z1C without pushing the power button to see the time.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevenewhen:
Hi XDA,

I have an HTC one M8 and have gone through the trouble to convert it to a STOCK unrooted GPE. The phone has worked flawlessly for about 3 months. One day I wake up and see that my phone is stuck in fastboot mode. I've tried various things such as trying to reflash it to stock HTC Sense and attempted to add TWRP but no luck. Everything that I attempt to do ADB and Flashboot wise tends to FAIL. I think because after I flashed the rom to STOCK unrooted GPE I never allowed the USB debugging. My phone cannot mount to my computer despite the many times I uninstall the device and reinstall it. Can anyone help me? I'd atleast have it brick to wear it wouldnt load fastboot so I could bring it to AT&T without them questioning why my phone is UNLOCKED.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
Okay, hopefully this isn't a stupid question.

I'm wondering about the resolution of mobile apps on the Fire TV.

For example, the WWE Network app. Does it now my screen is at 1080p and I can handle their 720p streams? Or is this something I might want to use a web browser to watch on?

I guess what I'm asking are apps set at a certain screen size, or can they use more screenspace if available? Or does it just depending on the programming of the app?

thanks!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizzyfin:
The fire TV will display 1080 natively. However, it depends on the app as well. If the app only displays 720 or lower, that's what you'll ultimately get. If you install xposed framework you can change the resolution of any app, with a mod called application settings
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
Okay, sweet. Thanks very much, I'll check that out.

Okay, checked it out and can't figure out how to use it. If you click on any of the programs, you can launch it, the settings (which is the same as the APP Settings in the system menu) and play store.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

To root, install Safetrap and flash your rom:

a.If you've used the rootable version to upgrade your firmware you can boot into your device and use towelroot to root it. Towelroot by [MENTION=3280118]geohot[/MENTION] can be found here. https://towelroot.com

b.Now download and install chainfire’s supersu apk from the play store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en

c.Use Safestrap 3.72 as your custom recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448925

d.Before installing safestrap go to the play store and install SELinux Mode Changer, grant it root access and change mode to “permissive”, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux&hl=en

Browsing through the FTP I came across an AKU 3.something about two weeks ago. I downloaded and installed it on my device.

Everything went well and the device was working for two weeks.

I also installed the SpbPocketPlus.

A couple of days ago, the phone just hang by itself.

I tried restarting it, and it would hang just after entering the PIN.

I tried canceling and not entering the PIN at all. Same.

I tried removing the battery and restarting. Same.

The phone just goes to today and then hangs.

I also tried the safe mode boot. Same.

I tried downgrading to an earlier ROM, no luck.

When the upgrade wizard shuts down activesync, and restarts the phone, the phone stays dead and the wizard tells me that there has been loss or failure to communicate with the device. I tried the steps to recover, still no luck...

Please, someone advise.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxG338:
So my battery life has been average, nothing great but nothing terrible. Today I noticed the battery was draining quicker than usual and the phone was slightly laggier and warmer than usual. I looked at battery usage and "Android OS" was at 70%, when seemed abnormally high. I clicked on that and 'total CPU' was at 13 hours. Anyone have any suggestions? I uninstalled some recent apps and my brightness has been relatively low throughout the day..and I've restarted the phone a couple times. I also heard Android OS often can mean some Google services too.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazer_2704:
That is insanaly high but i feel your utter pain bro..

My best advice is to try and restart the phone. Try and also remove the battery charge it fully and then just leave it for couple hours with the phone locked and display off.. Are you using NFC on location high, wifi and bluetooh all those battery eating goodies if so turn them off?

Try those suggestions and let me know how you get on. If you still having issues i tell you the next stage to the diagnosis (hopefully) which is what I i done lol..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxG338:
Well, right now my phone is charging. Android OS is down to 55% which is still way too high. I've already restarted the phone a couple times and just uninstalled Chrome Beta since that was my last app I installed and I figured it might have been doing something. I use WiFi a decent amount but I almost always have NFC and Bluetooth off (and Auto-Sync when I'm not charging). I have location on "battery saving mode".
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazer_2704:
Hmm, Right that seems to abnormal the next stage is to hop on to the Play Store. Download and install an app called 'Greenify' this all go through your system to see what is running that takes a lot of apps and directs you to stooping/disabling them...

On a side note is your brightness level set too high or is it on auto brightness try set it on 40% if you can...

I can't really say much more at this stage? Try those up and report back
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxG338:
Well, it seems to have sort of fixed itself. I woke up this morning and "Android OS" usage was down to about 15% and the CPU Total and Keep Awake time reset also. On a side note, I got great battery life today by turning off Google Now, background data, auto-sync, location, and keeping brightness at about 35-50% (which I usually do anyway).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazer_2704:
That's really good glad it's sorted it self out keep an eye out on it and keep me posted coz I had more to suggest but hey ho :p

Question/issues solved - thread done!

Picture of M7 screen with information: http://imgur.com/a/l6hIg

Basically, last year I traded this phone for my current phone at the time with a T-Mobile employee.

Got home and reset everything, setup everything to my liking, etc.

I then tried to go through the rooting process and all that but it didn't work (sadly, this was a while ago and I don't remember the exact issue...).

I tried everything I could but nothing worked and so I gave up since the phone was working fine other than it not being 'rootable'.

Fast forward to a couple days ago and I found a great deal on the M8 and have been using it to make sure it is everything the seller said it would be.

Then my friend said he wants to buy my M7 and I said sure but I need some time to backup my stuff and clear/reset the phone.

So the real details/interesting part of the situation is this:

Between when I got the M7 and a couple days ago the performance of the M7 has degraded and by this I mean that I have to restart the phone to get mobile data working (even though the symbol shows 4g/LTE), some apps have randomly crashed (namely Maps but it seems updates have fixed that). When I did try to root and all that, I installed TitaniumBackUp Pro and Root Explorer (here comes the interesting part) - sometimes TPUP has root access and sometimes it doesn't have root access; however, Root Explorer has always worked for what I needed (looking for downloaded files).

So is it possible to somehow properly root the phone and then unroot to make sure everything is good to go for my friend or do I need to just unroot the phone? Or do I simply need to do a factory reset (I am fine with this since I have all my contacts on the M8 already)? I haven't touched any software/rooting stuff since my 1 and only attempt to root the phone.

Sorry for the wall of text and I did try searching for similar posts/threads but couldn't (maybe I searched the wrong words?) and please feel free to ask questions for clarification and I will do my best to respond ASAP! Thank you in advance for your help.

probably a better idea to reset the phone back to stock. can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" except imei/serialno?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTR01:
[MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION]:

Thanks for the quick reply. I will gladly just reset to stock if that's the easiest/best method.

I currently don't have ADB setup on either computer since I haven't been in the rooting game for a long while now.

As of now I'm on my MacBook Pro 13" with Retina display and Mac OSX 10.9.4 and internet connection.

My home Windows desktop currently doesn't have internet due to some issues at home...

So I'm guessing the first thing is to setup ADB on the Mac (if possible?), though I haven't done it before on a Mac.

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:

Sorry for the delayed reply, had to eat dinner.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
So you have probably unlocked the bootloader in your attempt to root the phone. When you unlock the bootloader, it wipe users data but it also wipe some preloaded app by HTC in /data/preload. Problem is your friend will not be able to install ota updates with those missing files.

Good news is that there is a ruu for your phone version you could use to reset the phone back to stock and it will also wipe all your personal data at the same time, like if the phone was new (no need to factory reset). The ruu is a .exe file so you'll need a windows computer and because of the hboot version on the phone (1.44) you can't use windows 8.1 to flash the ruu, you'll need windows 7. Because your phone is S-ON, you'll also need to relock the bootloader before flashing the RUU. After flashing it, the phone will be wiped from any user data and ready to take ota updates.

so

relock bootloader:

fastboot oem relock

download the 1.27.531.11 ruu.exe from here

with the phone booted in bootloader mode or booted in the OS and connected to the windows 7 pc, lauch the ruu.exe and follow simple instructions so the ruu.exe will flash the phone automatically.

sell the phone to your friend

So I tried the bootlock command but then got the following error/problem (see screen shot).

I was either in the wrong mode or did stuff in the wrong order...

What I did:

1) open Terminal app

2) move to the adb/fastboot folder on Mac

3) type in the fastboot oem relock command

4) then received the attached screen shot error/problem.

I have a feeling the problem is going to be a bit tougher to solve than anticipated... :(

EDIT:

I have managed to screw up my device by doing factory reset and getting rid of the OS :(

EDIT 2:

I have managed to solve the above issue of no OS by getting CM 10 installed and working.

Now I need to get things back to stock to sell to my friend.

Thanks!
