[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lead3r1:
I recently acquired a moto g here in india via flipkart that came preinstalled with android 4.4.4 and yes i have the same problem of not getting any recovery to work since all of them boot to a weird black screen with random white lines appearing haphazardly. In fact the closest i have come to getting a proper recovery is when i installed the twrp 2.7.1.1 although it too off started of as black screen with weird lines i left it that way till the screen turned off and once it did, i pressed the power button and voila the recovery had successfully loaded.

However touch and HW buttons weren't working but i definitely reached the padlocked screen of twrp. So i tried another thing i had read on the forums here @ xda that sometimes letting the screen go off in recovery once makes it work but even that didnt work. Now the thing is does the recovery work ? that is in its most essential function taking backups and installing zips yes it does so. But since both the above functions require the actual use of recovery itself which isnt possible so i used twrp app for android and installed it and used that to make backups and install zips; both of which worked. Now it goes without saying root access is must for using of this app and i got rooted using the modaco/paul o'brian superboot method and hence was able to use twrp app. Hope this provides everybody a better clarity on our situation and make the devs for recovery solve our problem. Good Luck.

P.S Downgrading to 4.4.2 wont help as it will give the black screen witnessed on trying to boot into recovery(I already tried that)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayOOMjay:
So. It must becoz of the incompatibility of the recoveries with the new boot loader/firmware or what ever ?

The bootloader version of all those with 4.4.4 is 41.13. So it must be the issue with recovery.

The root can also be acquired by flashing cwm recovery and installing supersu from playstore.

So my phone is currently on a custom rom and I was trying to take it back to stock. I downloaded a ruu from htc dev because a bunch of guides I saw pointed me to do that and click a few buttons during the process it said my phone can't be updated and now i am stuck on a screen that looks like the bootloader but says this

I cant do anything from this screen. I tried to use another tool to get me into recovery but it says device not found. I also tried going through revovery through the ruu but nothing happens there. What else can i try to save my phone?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] jayrocc:
nvm i fixed that problem and now I'm back to square one. maybe someone could point me in the right direction from here.

I'm currently on 4.4.3 kk and am trying to get back to stock from my custom rom. clearly the ruu I used was the incorrect method and the other method I was going to try which involves using hasoon's toolkit appears to not be the answer because when i went to check the cid the version number was not available ( unless im missing something here)

any assistance that someone is willing to offer would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] VolcanicSkunk:
You have to re-lock your bootloader before you run the RUU.

I would like to substitute the 1 GB with the 2 GB SD... so, Do I need only switch to view all files with Resco Explorer and copy all on the PC... change the microSD with the 2 GB card and re-transfer the files on this card? Or is it important follow a specified step by step?

Hello durring the past couple of months I have been on a frantic journey trying to root my HTC one to no avail my HTC one is on Verizon and is fully updated, I have tried many different programs but I refuse to use sunshine becuase of the price, if anyone knows a free way to root a Verizon HTC one please comment below!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Have you checked the Verizon HTC One forum, they would know more than us in this forum. The Verizon phone has different radio and partitions than the GSM phones here. In addition, Verizon put a stop on allowing HTCDev for unlocking the device. Firewater S-OFF is one of the schemes that can work with your phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdizzle1686:
If your fully updated to 4.4.2/Sense 6, sunshine MAY be your only option, n it works quite well. And as far as the price u refuse to pay, its really quite low if you look into how many man-hours and bricked devices went into making Rooting and S-offing our phones POSSIBLE. Honestly its just about the only way now on a Verizon One and its quite efficient, and if it weren't for Jcase and Beaups, all of us who didn't S-off before the Sense 6 OTA Would still be in the dark. Not trying to be rude, but having a Verizon HTC One myself that I didn't root unti after the sense 6 OTA, chances are, if you're THAT Determined to root it, you're gonna end up goin with Sunshine. Also consider that $25 helps them with future research and development on this phone, and if you look back in the threads, majority of the exploits for this phone were brought to us by them…

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kevinsturf:
So this has been happening for some time now and I thought I should just leave it...it might resolve itself but that isn't the case. I have 2 google accounts hooked up, my main account that I use for everything and a second account, which I had before that has my purchasing funds from gift cards last year (this is before I got my main account now). The apps bought under the secondary account won't update when I'm updating my apps and gives me 403 error. Sometimes my only solution is to uninstall the app and install it again but that in itself gives me the same error a few times until it works. I make sure to switch accounts in the play store before updating to make sure the store recognizes I'm on the account I made the purchases with but still throws me the error. Could someone please help me understand what's going on with this problem? Thank you!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
There is 2 methods to do an RUU. one is by putting the RUU on your sdcard and booting into the bootloader and waiting a few minutes then accepting the prompt to do it and 2 is the fastboot method. Since you have an SD card you could attempt the first one I listed. Make sure you don't change the name of the RUU and make sure you get the proper one for your phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swazi Samurai:
Don't you have to be S-OFF or have a locked bootloader to run a RUU? I am unable to achieve either of those since my phone is not recognized by by ADB/Fastboot.

Also, because my most recent functioning ROM was GPE 4.4.3, would I still be able to run the stock AT&T RUU? I thought the partitions were different? I have the GPE RUU as well, but I don't think I can run that either without changing my CID and locking my bootloader.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
S-OFF not so sure about, locked bootloader, no you can have it unlocked. But you can try it anyways, the SD card method.

Yes you would be able to run it, I'm quite sure all you did was flash a GPE ROM. I believe all flashing the ROM does is give you a GPE ROM where as the GPE RUU would change all that and give you GPE phones firmware too.

On the off hand you did do a GPE RUU then I'm not sure.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swazi Samurai:
I have heard it has to be one or the other. If S-OFF, the bootloader can be unlocked. If S-ON, the bootloader has to be locked.

I did not run the GPE RUU originally; I installed the ROM through custom recovery. I'm assuming that is a good thing based on your feedback.

Regardless, I haven't been able to try the SD method because the zip file I extracted from the RUU exe will not transfer to my SD card. I also tried downloading another user's bootable version and it won't transfer either. I have copied many other files to and from my SD card (even larger file sizes) without any issues. I have no clue what is going on now...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swazi Samurai:
I formatted my SD card and was finally able to transfer the RUU. The bootloader begins to run the 0P6BIMG file, but it fails right after it starts parsing. I tried running it several times and the results were the same.

I really wish I could get ADB to recognize my phone so I can flash a custom recovery... When I plug my phone into a USB port, my computer makes a noise, the phone says "USB" next to Fastboot, and HTC Sync Manager begins to load. When HTC Sync Manager comes up, it says "HTC Sync Manager couldn't connect to your phone." Windows Device Manager also does not have anything listed for an Android device.

I've noticed when the phone is not powered on and simply charging from the USB port, an "HTC MTP Device" driver tries to install, but fails. Could this be the problem? I've tried plugging the phone into 3 different computers and they all get the MTP failure.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
If you are coming from a GSM variant things get a little bit more complicated to install a GPE RUU, as the GPE HBoot is different from the GSM one and partition sizes are as well.

You have to be S-Off to install the proper firmware and prior to doing this, change the CID as well as the MID to a GPE one.

There is a full guide on this forum to convert your M8 from GSM to GPE, bit as I'm on the train at the moment I can't provide you the link right away.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swazi Samurai:
I'm not specifically trying to install the GPE RUU at the moment. I had the stock GSM recovery installed based on my original CID and I'm trying to load the associated RUU.

I originally loaded GPE 4.4.3 with TWRP and downloaded the 4.4.4 update OTA from Google. Before restarting my phone and installing the update, I flashed the stock GSM recovery for CID CWS_001. This may have been what caused the issue initially when the phone tried to apply the update if it was looking for a GPE recovery.

I know I cannot install the GPE RUU because I'm S-ON and ADB does not recognize my device so I cannot change the MID or CID. At this point, I'm really just trying to get back to stock so I can start fresh.

Is it possible that when the 4.4.4 update tried to run, it associated my recovery with GPE and now that's why it will not install the stock RUU due to a mismatch? I'm really just guessing at this point.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3484jacks:
Look here at post #28 and #30. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2717928&page=3 . Download that .zip template

I think you can put the TWRP recovery.img (it has to be renamed to recovery.img) inside the zip as directed, put it on the SD card and let the bootloader automatically detaect and flash it. Once its completed you would have to power down and remove it from the SD card otherwise it would try to update again next time you go into the bootloader. That should load a recovery from which you can flash a ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swazi Samurai:
I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks for the input.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swazi Samurai:
You are the freakin man!!! I edited the template from the post you suggested, added my MID/CID, and packaged it with the TWRP image. Booted right from the SD and I now have custom recovery! I wish I could buy you a beer!

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] bulletfreak:
On this thread someone mentioned a bootloader unlock method originating from the Russian forum 4pda.ru. From my understanding it's basically a modified U-boot and X-loader.This method has so far been ported to the Optimus Black. Thread Here. All we need now is for someone to give our U-boot and X-loader the same modifications as the modified L7 ones has and it should work with no problem. As a matter of fact this should work with any Optimus that uses U-boot.

We need the original L7 U-boot and X-loader. Can anyone with the phone gives us a dump of them?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] puntoazul:
good intentions. but....

L7 and L9 have diferent CPU. L7 is a Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon and the L9 is a TextasInstruments OMAP4433,

L7 does not implement a u-loader and a x-loader , it implement an unencripted aboot loader, besides L9 have encripted x and u loaders.

The boot.img and the recovery.img of the L7 can be "patched" to bypass the bootloader because the aboot is un-encripted, for this reason this can be done with loki tool but L9 is very very difficult, i mean near of impossible to patch because the algorith of encritation have a very large and very very secret key (CertPK), only knowed for LG.
