[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Don't know about warranty T&Cs where you're at... But if you have S-OFF you can go back to stock as much as possible so that they don't know the difference.

You can try Firewater S-OFF but seeing as you're buying a new device it'll probably have the newest 4.4.3 on it which means that Firewater S-OFF won't work. Still worth it to give it a try if you want to though.

Better option, though it costs money, is to use Sunshine S-OFF, it'll both unlock the bootloader and give S-OFF, it costs $25 though.

You can then root, flash custom ROMs etc no problem. You can even flash custom ROMs if you're still S-ON, though you won't be able to remove the flags like "Tampered, unlocked/relocked" if you're S-OFF. Which is why I'd suggest getting S-OFF.

If you have it and you need warranty you can follow the guides provided on these forums to go back to 100% stock. With S-OFF you can remove the red text that you might get on start up screen. You can remove the tampered flag in bootloader. You can make the device say "Locked" instead of "Relocked" if you were to lock bootloader again. You can take it back to a state that it'll look(At least on the surface) as if it's 100% the way you bought it. Which should be more than good enough for warranty purposes.

So if that's the direction you're looking in i.e To customize and still make it look like you never tampered with device in the event of warranty, you'll definitely need S-OFF for your device.

Going by your post, I'm sure you'll search for these things then?

Sunshine S-OFF

How to return device to stock - It'll be the same to return to stock, just use correct nandroids for your device.

How to remove red text from Hboot

How to reset Tampered flag

How to reset relocked flag

All of the "How to" threads you can find in the general section of the HTC One M8 forum. The Sunshine S-OFF thread you'll find in the "Paid Apps" forums on the main screen of xda forums or you can just search for it on google like "Sunshine S-OFF xda" it'll give you a link to it surely, the Author of the post is Jcase.

Edit: I added the links to the How to's and Sunshine S-OFF.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduserfan2:
Wow your reply is simply amazing, thank you so much!

Just one little questions: if Firewater will work, how can i unlock boot loader without htcdev procedure?

Thanks again, is really great that XDA community has users like you!

(PS: don't know if this will change something but i'll have an M8 with Vodafone Brand (but sim unlocked) too!)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
In the last link I provided "reset relocked flag" the actual title of the thread is [how to] lock/unlock your bootloader without htcdev(s-off required) . ;)

On your PS. Just make sure you make nandroid back up of your device before flashing custom ROMs. I'm not sure if your Vodafone backup is in the collection thread or not. Of course you'll also then have to make a backup of your recovery before flashing a custom one.

You can just boot the custom recovery of your choice - fastboot boot name_of_custom_recovery.img - that'll boot in so that you can make a backup of the stock recovery before you flash it. That'll only work with Philz I think... TWRP didn't boot for me with the newest 4.4.3 software and it doesn't make a backup of the stock recovery anyways. Philz can do that though, or you can follow the instructions I gave in this post - Of course you'll also need to run the cat /proc/emmc command to just make sure on which block number your recovery partition is. You'll need root for that of course. You can flash supersu to gain root while booting a custom recovery so you don't have to flash one.

Though it'll also make things easier if you do decide to go with Sunshine because I'm sure they have a method in the thread to have root for your device also.

So that's important, getting a backup of your device BEFORE you do anything, in the event you want to go back and we don't have a backup for your device it might be a problem if you didn't make one yourself either :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduserfan2:
Ok thanks for all the infos!

At this point, i think that Sunshine will be the method that i will use.

So now i have just to wait the shipping of my M8 and as soon as i get it i will FIRSTLY backup and after i will start modding! If i'll have problems i will ask to you/the community again. Thank you!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
No problem.

Perhaps if you made a backup you can upload it and share the link in the COLLECTION of Stock backup's thread. That'll help even more people with similar device to your own :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduserfan2:
Sure i will! I always helped (in others italian forums) developers with backup, test etc: i love modding and help developers!

So i'll just backup through TWRP right? Because i always used Clockworkmod
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Yes you can backup through TWRP but like I mentioned, it didn't do backup of the recovery partition. So you'll probably have to use the method I linked to in order to make backup of stock recovery.

TWRP gave me some problems lately...not booting like it should, it didn't make backup of stock recovery. I like TWRP and prefer it but Philz definitely did the better job for backups. Could probably boot that up and make a backup of everything too if you prefer. Doesn't really make a difference, I mean, if(BIG IFFF) something happens to your device you could always just flash Philz back and restore the backup. It's easy enough so...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduserfan2:
So will be better Philz
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I used Sunshine right of the bat, so I could return to stock and keep my warranty. A good plan. ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduserfan2:
I will use it too ;)

2 days and i will finally have my HTC M8!!!

I ordered it 7 days ago but the store had misspelled my city -.-

I will verify that he work at 100% (wifi, signal, display etc) and after i will start modding it :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduserfan2:
Guys yesterday the M8 has arrived!

After i tried all the basic functions (call, wifi etc) i started with sunshine!

After i upgraded the firmware, flashed philz, backuped ROM and installed ViperROM. Now i'm very satisfied of my new smartphone! Thank you all!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] politby:
Okay, so because I had a major brain fart I stupidly purchased an Xperia Z that is hard (counter) network locked to T-Mobile Austria.

Please do not waste time replying to this post if you don't know what this means.

I refuse to believe that all I can do is throw it away for scrap. But nowhere on this forum can I find a post from someone who successfully got a hard lock resolved by the phone manufacturer or the carrier, or anyone else for that matter.

I just spent 20 minutes on the phone with Sony Mobile support here in Sweden and not even they could tell me if it can be done.

What if a poorly trained authorized dealer rep accidentally hard locks a phone when attempting to code unlock it for a customer? Does it go in the bin for recycling? I don't think so.

I am prepared to eat the cost of getting it unlocked. Surely someone must have done this?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsalamun:
Try zRam, it might be something you're looking for.

But you need a custom kernel, like boeffla for ex.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simone98RC:
Theoretically no, but some kernels (I don't know as it happens) can extend ram of 20-30 MB respect to the physical memory.

As many users said, you can try zRam, but be careful not exceeding, or your phone may have slowdown due to the cpu overload.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hanmin:
you can't do a soft reset just after a reg change. Switch the device off and on, and preferably keep the unit on for like .. say 5 mins before soft reseting it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] demontefixo:
What he said...and the backlight display settings for the HTC platform seem wonky, meaning that it always resets to 10secs. I think that it is a hardware "oops".

Battery calibration bug

Let your phone turn off when your battery hits 0%

Charge to %100

Let it turn off when at %0

Your battery will calibrate its self, this shouldent happen again
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croize:
Charge full when its off? 2 Times?? This can be that battery go Downey faster? Cause If it show wrong its like 70% but shows 100?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Turn it on after it turns off

When your battery is at %0 or %100 it checks and adjusts the calibration but it needs a full charge cycle to properly adjust
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croize:
So let me get this straight, Now i am 3 % , Will wait until it turns off at 0 % , then i put in charger , turn it on, let it charge to 100 %, Use it normally tomorrow until 0 % again, put charger in, turn on, Wait until 100 % and use normally, correct :) ? Isnt it better to charge 100 % off though ??
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
1. Let phone turn its self off at 0%

2. Plug in charger

3. Turn on (optional)

4. Unplug at 100%

5. Repate once more

Does it matter how fast i drain the battery in this process ? :) Hope i feel the battery is better once this process is done ^^ thanks ! =)

Galaxy S4 vs Nexus 4​

Hello everybody, in here you're going to find a few details about both the Galaxy S4 and the Nexus 4. I have recently owned both of these android devices and also have successfully rooted, installed custom recovery mode's and custom ROMs for.

I will start, where I started. With the Samsung. I found the Galaxy s4 to be a great phone. It played all the games I wanted it to play well, and I couldn't complain really. However being a member of here indicates itself my love for Rooting and such things so I did what was natural to me and began rooting the device.

The first root method I tried was called droid razr root that was supposed to work on Galaxy s4's but the root didn't take when I followed the steps to rooting with it. So I used a different method, Odin and flashed the file and it worked perfect. :) Once rooted it was easy enough to install twrp from the play store and use the app to flash my recovery. Then I simply flashed a slimkat 4.4.4 ROM following instructions. The phone was, asyoud expect pretty cool. I've had a lot of slimROMs so the whole ui and feel wasn't that new to me but was definitely fast and responsive.

OK, so here is where the nexus comes in. I was browsing a local website for swapping things and I swapped my fresh rooted and rimmed S4 for a Nexus 4 and some cash. I was eager to try out the new device.

I did not waste any time in looking for a root method for the Nexus and found it was the easiest device I've come across to root/unlock the boot loader for. Its simply two apps off the play store, i found the forum on XDA. You literally press one button in one

App, reboot. Press a button in the other app, reboot. Install SuperSU reboot done. Then just like the S4 I used the TWRP app to flash TWRP onto my device. Everything went awesome and smooth as expected so I went to looking for a nice ROM. That's when I found Dirty Unicorns. Let's just say, this is the beat ROM I've ever had on any of my phones. Its really really smooth, packed with customization and really well optimized.

As for the question which phone is better? I'd say both. The S4 has an edge on speed, but the nexus 4 has almost everything else.

[Xposed General] mopsko:
Hi.

I am using xposed since quite a while and everything usually worked fine. Today I wanted to update some modules and realized that I could download the new version but when I want to install it, the install button does nothing, only cancel works. This is also true for new module installs. So basically, I can uninstall modules but not reinstall/update any. Pretty strange... The security settings seem correct to (allow from any source).

Any ideas?

some additional info:

framework app_process 58

framework XposedBridge.jar 54

sony xperia z1 compact

android 4.4.4, 14.4.A.0.108
[Xposed General] mopsko:
I just found it out myself and it turns out that the issue was completely unrelated to xposed. I had screen adjuster active which is a tiny app that helps to increase the contrast on the x1 screen. This app creates some sort of overlay which was blocking a reaction to the install button but not the cancel button. Deactivating the app let me install everything....
[Xposed General] killerDaemon:
Same here as well

Hi

My Nexus 7 2013 LTE also face the exact same problem.

I'm using a a moto g (xt1033) too. But seems like it does not have this issue.

I have not used any kind of display tweaks though. Wonder why thus happens. I am not able to update GravityBox because of this issue. Guess anyone wonder why this happens?
