[HTC One Mini] kumpelfred:
Hey guys,

I seriously need help with my M4. I think I might have soft-bricked it :crying:

Here's what I have done:

I unlocked it and installed TWRP 2.7.1.1 to install a custom ROM. The thing is, I didn't know it was branded (as I found out too late, the CID is VODAP102), so the ROM wouldn't install. Now, I tried to change the CID to a SuperCID (11111111) but ran out of luck. So I thought I'd simply revert to Stock. So far, so good. Yesterday I got an update notification for a Sense 6.0 update but it wouldn't install. So I successfully flashed the stock recovery but the installation of the update halted (red exclamation mark). I then went back to flashing the boot.img too (from an UL rom, unfortunately) and relocked the bootloader. Still the same error. Then I read I should factory reset in the bootloader. So I did and the result was

I got stuck on the bootscreen

!! So I unlocked it again, re-installed the TWRP recovery to at least get back to the backup I made before, but the thing is: My storage got wiped and TWRP won't mount OTG-USB!!! I guess it's that some partitions/files are now messed up. Now I cannot do anything anymore. I don't have the stock ROM as a flashable zip, only the TWRP backup.

Here's what still works:

Fastboot & Recovery

What doesn't work:

ADB (because phone won't boot), ExtSDcard (naturally!) and flashing ROMs via fastboot because I need one that matches that damn Vodafone CID :(

I think if someone could upload their Vodafone Germany M4 ROM as a zip or exe, I could manage it. If someone has it, PLEASE give it to me!

If someone has any other idea how to get this phone to work, or at least get TWRP to mount the USB-stick, please HELP!!! I'm totally at a loss :crying:
[HTC One Mini] apjashley:
You can ADP from TWRP so all is not lost :)
[HTC One Mini] kumpelfred:
Well, if I start ADB sideload in TWRP, it says it is starting but then nothing happens. Or does it take more than 5 minutes? Because cmd says no devices found :/
[HTC One Mini] apjashley:
It doesn't have to be sideload. You could ADB any old ROM from any screen, and then install it. It would at least get you back on your feet.
[HTC One Mini] kumpelfred:
Could you explain this? I go into TWRP while connected to the PC and then? When I type 'adb devices' it shows nothing, so I though I need to go into 'Adcanced > ADB sideload' in TWRP...
[HTC One Mini] apjashley:
What does your Windows device manager show when you're in TWRP but not sideload mode?

I've been wrong before but I believe from sideload mode "adb push firmware.zip /sdcard/" should work as normal.
[HTC One Mini] kumpelfred:
Hi, thanks for your reply.

The device manager lists it as HTC One Mini but with a yellow question mark. When I plug it in, it recognizes it and installs all the drivers with the exception of the MTP driver, and it won't let me manually install it. In fastboot, it is listed as "MyHTC".

When I go into adb sideload mode in TWRP it gets stuck on telling me it starts the service but nothing happens. "adb devices" remains empty in the cmd console.

As I said, I DO have a backup, only I cannot restore it as TWRP is unable to mount the USB-OTG. I simply cannot check the box (all other partitions data, system etc. work)! I tried 3 different sticks and TWRP versions 2.6.3, 2.7.1.0 & 2.7.1.1. On a friend's M7 TWRP loads that stick in a few seconds. ADB is not working as I said, otherwise I could simply push the file to the internal SD and see if I can restore it from there :/ I think it may have something to do with TWRP not being able to fix permissions, too (it tells me to boot the system once after factory reset, which I cannot do of course!) but I'm not sure....

What I have also tried is setting back the phone (relocked, stock recovery, cache erased) via rebootRUU and a Vodafone DE firmware zip but it tells me "read zipped android info fail" and aborts. Probably because I'm on a higher hboot version than the one in the firmware zip and I cannot go S-OFF without ADB working -.-

I'm struggling with this for 3 days now... Is there nothing I can do to get it booted into anything??? :(
[HTC One Mini] kumpelfred:
Duh! The Mini is back to life! Weirdly, when I uninstalled the HTC drivers and installed an older package, my device - in recovery mode - showed up under 'adb devices' and I pushed the whole TWRP backup to the sdcard, did a restore and there it is! The only thing that bothers me is that now the Windows device manager shows a yellow question mark on 'CDC Serial'. What does that mean? And why is my device not listed under 'adb devices' anymore after restoring? Very weird :confused:

But thanks again!!! Very happy now :good:
[HTC One Mini] iboc@n:
could u share that drivers pls. i have same problem :(((
[HTC One Mini] kumpelfred:
Hey, I was wrong about the HTC drivers, this was not the issue. The issue was that the latest TWRP recovery (2.7.1.1) did not work in adb mode for whatever reasons. The solution was not older drivers (as they update anyway) but to install an older TWRP version (2.6.3.0 worked for me).

This is only when you cannot boot into your system and have to adb push something to your sdcard. If the phone is not recognized when connected with a booted system running, the only fix is to remove drivers and programs that could interfere (Samsung Kies, HTC Sync, e.g.), reboot, reinstall the drivers, plug your phone into a different USB port and just hope 'adb devices' gets a result, otherwise try all over again.
[T-Mobile LG G3] EduardoZ714:
Hey guys i want to root my g3 using purple drake and was wondering if in the same process it allows you to flash a custom recovery (TRWP?) or do i have to do something else to get it? Also do i have to download any lg software to my computer? i cannot seem to find it in the thread if we actually do need it.

Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
I'm sure you already read the op from top to bottom but you must have missed some parts. You should probably read it again everything you need to know is in the op.
[T-Mobile LG G3] EduardoZ714:
Alright.. do you happen to know how to flash the custom recovery or does that come with the script?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
You didn't read the op did you? Sorry for not answering you but I'm not kidding when I say everything you want/need to know is in the purple drake op.
[T-Mobile LG G3] EduardoZ714:
No yea i read it completely now i had missed the part where it has the lg drivers. My question now is that when i run purpledrake am i just rooting it or will it give me the option of flashing twrp in it?

Just to make sure, the only steps involved in rooting my phone is installing the drivers, running the purple drake file and putting my phone in ptp mode during the process right? sorry for being a noob i just want to make sure im not turning my 600$ phone into a brick lol
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
okay, okay even though that's in the op as well yes it gives the option to install twrp. If I was you I would pick the option that installs twrp and the edited boot.img also if you have problems installing twrp you can just use the twrp installer from the play store. You might want to do that regardless so you can have the updated twrp.

*edit*

yes from what I remember you have the correct process for purple drake
[T-Mobile LG G3] EduardoZ714:
COOL! I was able to root my phone it was much easier than i thought it would be haha. Hey i can download the twrp instaler from the play store even though i installed twrp with purple drake?
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Good to hear! Yes you can.

[G2 General] MAPM:
Has the Music Player App changed a lot?

Seen the changes I think that this update is going to appear in the other G2 versions as well soon.
[G2 General] 407gbmk:
att update

Don't know I have not tried.I Had to change apn setting back to my original ones.It changed to ATTNEXTGEN after update
[G2 General] xLordNitro:
Could you post the APN?
[G2 General] zondebok:
FYI, my phone kept root when updating from 20u (as it did when updating to 20u...).
[G2 General] matii_ziomek:

[G2 General] highro710:
how long does it usually take for new updates to become root compatible?
[G2 General] xperimentul:
Confirmed- IOroot and Towelroot will not work after this update. If you were rooted before and then update, then root should stay intact.But if you are not rooted, update and try to root, it will not work.

[G2 General] Unoid:
This update applied without my clicking ok or approving. It changed the apn and I couldnt get mobile data. I put in the old apn to fix it.

Now I can't root or put aosp roms on. Just bought this phone used 3 days ago. ! So much bloat and privacy with all these att apps
[G2 General] XxZombiePikachu:
have any of you tried rooting with stump root?
[G2 General] rthefley:
As soon as I saw the update was downloaded / available I quickly froze the update process until the community had a better understanding of what was going on.

The main reason I did this was all the BS with the APN settings. ATT is motivated to keep their phones off other networks.

Even though I've unlocked my phone they seem to hold some legal right over their software / bloatware that continues to give them a right to block out settings software wise in how their phones are used.

I wonder if the recent bill signed by President Obama allowing for phones to be unlocked had provisions for this BS with the APN settings, etc

[G2 General] Dervius:
I am confirming that Stumproot does work on an unrooted stock LG-D800 with version D80020y; it require bruteforcing but it does say to reboot and it DID root the phone just fine. Great app guys! :good:
[G2 General] Raymonf:
You can just flash an older stock ROM with the LG Flash Tool.
[G2 General] blastagator:

[G2 General] ksc6000:
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If AT&T changes the APN settings, and you're using AT&T....what's the problem? If you're unlocked, then you should know what APN to have when you use another SIM, right? Or am I missing something?
[G2 General] countryfolk07:
Could you please pull your stock system folder and share? I would like to get an unmolested stock odexed system dump if I could. Thanks.
[G2 General] Huskehn:
Is it possible to do this without root? I have a device running D80020y, completely clean, but cannot dd the /system partition because I do not have root.
[G2 General] countryfolk07:
Thanks for the thought, but you need root.
[G2 General] jamexman:
How did you update? Mine won't update and tells me because I'm rooted.
[G2 General] zondebok:
I just did the update like normal. I had used ioroot on 10d or something (stock recovery) and it kept root through the whole update process.
[G2 General] Swetnes:

BTW you can access the system folder without root with the app X-plore, available on the play store.
[G2 General] countryfolk07:
Thank you very much. I do appreciate your time and effort!
[G2 General] xaueious:
Can someone please mirror the fota folder/OTA dump?

20u to 20y

Not on At&t at the moment and can't update
[G2 General] Okamaokama:
Is there anything about full screen mode and custom soft buttons?
[G2 General] thenorm89:
Will AutoRec or flashify work with the new update?
[G2 General] 407gbmk:
AutoRec works.Flashed a couple roms and restored to d80020y.Everything still working.
[G2 General] xaueious:
Sorry, bumping my request for 20y OTA dump :/
[G2 General] savior02:
So can I root on new update or am I going to have to go back to earlier rom?
[G2 General] votinh:
I updated to 20y first then rooted with Stump.

No issue so far.
[G2 General] xaueious:
Can someone please provide the OTA dump?
[G2 General] mainmanluke:
Odd man out?

So this is interesting. I've had my ATT D800 on stock for its lifetime and Stump is not working for me on this update.

Stump attempts to brute, but results in, "ERROR: Unsupported Device"

Also no luck with io or towel.
[G2 General] EniGmA1987:
Will this actually do anything to connect to newer towers being activated and such? It looks like it connects to the same everything except the actual name.
[G2 General] Gemc666:
Any way to update my D800 without a At&T card? i bought it from amazon and i'm oversea
[G2 General] votinh:
With Stump, G2 isn't native supported so we must allow bruteforce.

That's what we all do and I didn't get any error.

Don't know what happen to yours :(
[G2 General] xaueious:
Sorry to bump this again... No one can help provide the update dump package?
[G2 General] TheLegend88:
OTA on unlocked G2

Hy!I have my AT&T LG G2 unlocked and I am using it on Vodafone.But when I try to update from 80020c my phone says that I am not registered yet.Is there any way to update my G2 via OTA?
[G2 General] xaueious:
Sorry to bump this again, but without the files for this OTA, there's no way for us to perform future updates.

Can someone please dump their dlpkgfile for 20y update?
[G2 General] kimtyson:
The APN is the same as I had already. A name change won't matter. Nothing to see here. Move along.
[G2 General] bokonon9:
I started a thread in Q&A about rooting 20y.

Any input is appreciated.

~bokonon9
[G2 General] leoxle:
New here, got a quick question. My phone's been updated to the D80020y and I successfully rooted it with stump root. Will custom ROMS work with my phone now? Just asking because in one of the guides, it says: "As of this writing the D800 was being shipped with the firmware version D80010d (there is an OTA update - D80010o / D80100q / D80200c (KITKAT) that your phone will ask you to update to. PLEASE DO NOT if you want to install custom roms. If you already have go to section 4 to downgrade your phone back to D80100d)." So the D80020y isn't included in the list but I assume it should be? If anyone can help with this, it would be awesome. Thanks!
[G2 General] ziggysmalls:
Install Autorec, flash updated blastogator TWRP. Flash happy ?.
[G2 General] FedericoUY:

[G2 General] sobitthen:
Unless they changed page numbers on that G3 thread, I did not see any particular steps you were trying to reference for us to use...

I am on D80020u on my 'new' used eBay phone and a popup told me an update was available, knowing not going to be Lollipop yet, assuming D80020y is what they are offering.

Trying to decide if I should wait out the Lollipop update or root and use the one here on XDA. Then I could run without all the bloatware from a provider that I don't even use. Moving from Straight Talk to Cricket to see if I can get LTE, 2 phones in an area that has LTE cannot get LTE on their MVNO AT&T network, I think they are provisioning us somehow...

I will read the threads and look for method to root my phone and install recovery, just wanted to point out the reference was unclear.
[G2 General] sobitthen:
Tried for a couple hours, gave up, guess wait for official release.. Tried to manual enter command lines couldn't get past a $ to the # sign..

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drapos:
Hi.

I come from first Galaxy S i9000, was happy with it but it was stolen. I bought a S5 and it came with a weird band with clearer tone in the upper part of the screen (very noticeable on grey backdrops), so I asked for a replacement. But new replacement have a gradient from top to bottom that gets darker, with a purplish tone. Not as terrible as first s5, but not sure if it should look like this.

Nothing of this happened with my S1, and it had better view angles.

Ask a replacement, refund or keep it?

Greetings.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geeks Empire:

are u sure it s not because of S5 touch-wiz theme.

Hi recently i've bought a samsung galaxy s5 SM-G900F. Telephone was branded Vodafone (italy) but reads every SIM card (except Vodafone, i think who have sold me has stopped to pay the monthly installment o i don't know). I've tested my SIM card (Wind) with the branded firmware and it worked fine (i've tested for 15-20 min). I sbranded it so i flashed with ODIN 3.09 this unbranded firmware G900FXXU1ANE2 (got out in may, now on sammobile there's a new version of August i've didn't tried yet G900FXXU1ANG9) the installation has done succesfully. Now sometimes when i call someone after i called the phone says "not registred on network" and compare a triangle and then in 15 min it reconnets. How can i solve this problem?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Not nearly enough information to do more than guess. You have to either provide a lot more detail about your configuration or watch for patterns to develop to narrow down the possibilities.

The advice to try a newer firmware build is good and may well resolve your issue.

Hi!

Am new to Windows mobile and this is my first post. I have spent quite some time going through various forums, but have still not managed to get the following softwares.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The softwares that I am looking out for should be compatible for the Cingular 8125 (WM5).

1) Software that hides folders using a pasword without any encryption

2) Software that would turn off the phone totally. I have seen softwares that turn off the pda, but the phone still remains on.

In addition, if there is a function of being able to put on the phone on & off at pre-determined times, that would be great. I had a software called "Phone Technician" that used to work on my Treo really well.

3) Software that requires a password to launch an application

Looking forward to your help ...

Thanks & regards,

Amit
