I got the code and everything but when I connect my phone to the pc. It just makes a noise saying it's connected but I can't do anything.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stathis95194:
so what's the output of:

adb devices

Edit: You don't have an OS so adb won't work. Try fastboot devices
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yet another user stuck because they followed a tutorial or video guide, instead of taking the time to learn, read, and really understand the steps and concepts. This is exactly why I discourage such tutorials or YouTube guides (and Toolkits as well), as they leave you completely unequipped to recover if you have a problem, leaving your buddies at XDA to clean up the mess.

YouTube video or not, you shouldn't be doing

anything

you don't understand, and you shouldn't be wiping anything if you don't understand what the result will be.

You will need to troubleshoot the USB connectivity issue first. From there, unlock the bootloader again, install custom recovery and flash a ROM (as stathis95194 has already stated).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clown6198:
So I managed to Unlock my phone again through fastboot via cmd and I have twrp installed. I have no idea how to flash a ROM. If you can help me with that, I'll be forever in your dept
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Either adb push the desired ROM file to the phone's memory, or put a ROM on a removable SD using a card reader (connected to your computer). Then boot into TWRP, select Install, and find the ROM file and flash it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clown6198:
will this work even with the S-ON?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Of course. I wouldn't be telling you to do it, otherwise.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clown6198:
sorry, so I did send you a message saying if fixed this problem but I guess it didnt. I managed to put a rom in my phone through cmd and I swiped install and goes through the whole installing process. But when I reboot my phone after the installation, it's still stuck in the HTC logo and when I go back to the bootloader, the OS is still empty. What do I do!!!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TikiThePug:
Honestly, I would just install Philz recovery instead of TWRP and try to either install the ROM zip directly (after a full wipe), or sideload the ROM zip from your PC.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtoj34:
Hmm. It looks like you're on the old radio. If that's the case and you downloaded a ROM based off of the 2.x firmware, you'll get a solid 10 minute boot time. Find a ROM for your device that is based off of the 1.x firmware and download that. To get your device out of the bootloop and back into boot loader/recovery, hold power and volume up for quite some time until the screen shuts off. Then, hold power down while the screen is black and you'll be in the boot loader. From there you can use the arrow keys to select recovery. Of it isn't there, first select fastboot or hboot and look for it there. You should be in recovery, now you can go ahead and push the file to your phone. Ensuring it is a sense ROM based off of the 1.x firmware, go to wipe and do the standard swipe to wipe (will erase app data not pictures or downloads), then go into install and select your ROM and swipe. Be patient while your device turns on for the initial boot, it might take a while but your phone should be functional after that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That was my initial thought as well (long boot time due to outdated 1.xx firmware) but the hboot and radio number given in post #1 indicate that OP seems to be on 2.xx firmware.

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

What ROM did you try?

How long did you wait for the phone to boot? First boot after flashing a ROM will take a while, maybe 5 minutes or so.

OS not indicated on the bootloader screen doesn't mean anything (doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with the OS not installed). Its a known bug, and might be blank even if the OS is present.

As previous replies suggest, try a different ROM or another recovery (Philz/CWM).

Also, make sure you do the default wipe in TWRP (which wipes Dalvik, cache, and data) before flashing any ROM (and likewise in CWM). Other partitions do not need to be wiped (in particular,

don't

wipe Internal Storage, as you will lose the ROM you just pushed to the phone), but failure to wipe data in itself can cause failure to boot.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clown6198:
Hi so Im in TWRP. I pushed a ROM called Android_Revolution_HD-One_M8_11.1 which is supposedly the closest rom to a stock one. I tried flashing the ROM many times, Im in the process of flashing it again after whiping like you said. The result is the same. After the installation, the phone goes back into TWRP for a slip second and the screen just phases out and turns off. After that, I have to reboot the phone into bootloader again. No luck in getting the OS started. If you guys can recommend me a ROM to try out that's based off of 1.x like the PHILZ one with a link. that'll be awesome

Thanks,

clown6198
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I don't think the ROM being 1.x based versus 2.x is your issue. The radio number and hboot number you listed in Post #1 indicate you are on firmware compatible with 2.x ROMs. Being on outdated firmware doesn't cause the issue you describe, anyway. With outdated firmware, the ROM will still boot but just stalls for a long time (10 minutes) on the HTC screen before booting properly.

PhilZ is a recovery, not a ROM. You can find it (and a great many other useful things) on this thread sticky at the top of the General section:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694600

I'd try adb wipe cache, then flash TWRP again, or install Philz CWM recovery. Then try to flash the ROM again.

You can also try to download the ROM again to make sure it wasn't corrupted during download. The adb push went okay with no errors?

You can also try one of the stock backups from the collection (adb push to phone and Restore using the appropriate recovery TWRP or PhilZ): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I believe you need appropriate firmware in order to run the HK mod. Not sure where this is discussed, but I've seen it mentioned a few times. Try searching the thread where you go the HK mod.

Just curious, what steps did you take exactly, to get the booted?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clown6198:
Damn. Apparently I need to get s-off in order for the harman kardon to work. Just need to uninstall harman kardon now... But yea sorry all I needed was to flash the rom. I didn't know the booting was going to take 5 mins and over. I thought that I was just stuck on the HTC logo. all I needed was to be patient ahaha Thanks a lot guys

[Verizon LG G3] bauerat02:
When I set up the Knock unlock code, I have locked my phone using a left to right pattern on the top half. But when I go to unlock my phone the pattern also works on the bottom half as well as the top half. This doesn't seem secure knowing that a pattern other than the one I specified can unlock the phone. Anyone else experience this or know what's up?
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
Use a code that uses something at the top *AND* bottom.

If you use a horizontal or vertical code, it will assume that either top/bottom or left/right are valid.

Use more than two quadrants is the answer.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
It's suppose to work that way. The 4 sections can be on almost any part of the screen and can vary in size.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Bunnygum:
I travel a lot and when I change the phone time zone it also changes appoinment times in the to the appropriate time in the new time zone. Eg if I am in Sydney and next week I have a 9am appointment in Singapore I have to either change the time zone to Singapore time enter the appoinment and change the time zone back or leave it in Sydney time and calculate the time difference. Thus the 9am Singpaore appointment would be enterd as 11am whilst in Sydney. The risks and dangers are obvious.

If anyone has a tweak to stop appointment times being changed with the time zone it would be sincerely appreciated

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Earthbrain:
I am debating whether I should upgrade my Note 3 to the Note 4 in part from movie watching. I am afraid that 1080p movies would look blurry and less sharp due to the pixels being stretched out to fit the 2K resolution. I do not think that the note 4 has upconversion of 1080p to 2K. I do a lot of 1080p movie watching on my note 3 on the go.

If the 1080p movies look worse on the Note 4, I may just get the iphone 6 plus to try out the ios system since I have never own an iphone before. My previous phones were the HTC HD2, Note 1, Note 2 and I am currently using the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mi|enko:
The screen's so small, I doubt you'd notice a difference.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] onesojourner:
I was wondering the same thing.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
It will look better due to pixel density
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Earthbrain:
You are wrong. If you put a lower resolution source into a higher resolution screen the picture quality would look worse.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oneandroidnut:
do you have a phone with greater then 1080p?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] natienn:
I have a note 12.2 with 2560 x 1600 resolution and 1080p content looks like standard 480p maybe a little better.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
I would find the best resolution as not to take it too big that it take up space on my device or rip too low that I see jagged edges. Definately not 640x480 rips.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mi|enko:
12.2" screen. Not apples to apples. 1080 content on my G3 looks great.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Earthbrain:
No, I do not have a phone with resolution greater than 1080p but if you look at the post right after yours from a poster named Natienn then you can see that 1080p content would not look good in higher resolution screen. Maybe because the Note 4 is only 5.7" , the image quality may not be as bad as the bigger screen tablet with higher resolution.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Having a 2k display won't make a 1080p video looks worst, indeed it can look even better.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lawtq:
It will look like normal 1080p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
720p movies look great on my 1080p nexus 7 2013, so I'd suspect 1080p movies would look great on a much faster device with a better display.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] il buono:
1080p videos look good on the G3

Sent from my LG G3
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
This.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SaschaHa:
After 3 pixels you get one more (1920 = 3*640 -> 2560 = 4*640). So regulary after 2 pixels, the 3rd one will be streched to match the next 2 pixels (3rd one and 4rd one). So every 3rd px is a double one.

But in reality, there is anti-aliazing and some others algorithm for upscaling, so videos will look even better. So I think, 1080p will look great on Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mchief298:
Now we are getting mathematical... That's just sad. The quality is dependent on the content. It will either look about the same or slightly better. No need to get all technical or defensive. It's the content that decides.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
Hmm, I believe that in this case you're wrong buddy. Even the source being a lower resolution video than the display it will look better due the pixel density than it would on a Galaxy s4 (for instance) that have a 1080p display.

Obviously to take full advantage you should look for a 2k resolution video but the 1080p video will be better on n4 display (not because of the resolution alone) but because of the screen itself.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
Both is same size 5.7" which means the video will look identical, plus side 2K display due to it higher density will make the 1080P movie look much better on Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] doeboy711:
my only theory is that if you take standard TV and put in on a HDTV it looks like crap, but if you put it back on a 4:3 old school tv then it actually looks good. But things have changed from back then so we wont really know until we receive the device and see how the hardware and software works with upscaling the video. That's what it all comes down to really.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Earthbrain:
This is exactly what I am trying to imply when I made the first post.

But you also made a very good point on the software aspect and see if it upconvert to make the lower resolution better. We will just have to wait and see.

Best Buy now has a demo unit. Too bad I cannot take my 1080p movies in my Note 3 and test it on the Note 4 at the store.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hendrickson:
I have the same res as the Note 4 on my LG G3 and I can confirm as others have stated 1080p clips look worse, its like playing a 720p clip on your 1080p Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dr. Evo:
This is of concern to me. One of the biggest selling points of the Note 3, for me, was the crisp, vibrant, 1080p screen, and how HD movies are displayed on them. I live in a major metro area and I use public transportation, often. It's nice to watch a movie while riding the subway. I have over a dozen HD movies on my phone. I want them to be at least 720p HD quality for a reason. The 1080p movies are just insane. I would not want to essentially "downgrade" in the process of trying to "upgrade" to the Note 4, if the movies are going to actually look worse!

I played with a Note 4 at Best Buy, yesterday, and the content specific 4K videos looked out of this world on the qHD screen! It didn't dawn on me to try and pop out my microSD card, and put it in the Note 4 to see if I could watch a video or two, assuming the demo phone would have allowed this. Until I can get some pretty widely agreed-upon confirmation that 1080p movies look no worse than "the same" on the Note 4, as compared to the Note 3, I guess there will be no point in upgrading. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TechAnimal:
I call b.s on that. 720p clips played on my s5 don't look worse than on my s3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
Why on earth would it look worse? The screen has the same ratio and as displaymate stated is the best screen tested. It will look definitely better not because of the resolution but because of the screen / ppi.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
You are saying you watch HD videos on a FullHD display and you don't have any complaints but for some reason you think a 1080p video will loke worse on a 2k display ???? There is a major difference between HD to FullHD than FullHD to 2k.

It looks worse compared to 2k content for obvious reasons, but it does not look bad.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] SupaSwag:
Must be some terrible quality videos you're watching because 1080p videos look great on the QHD screen of the G3. With the better quality display the Note 4 is packing I'm sure they'll look even better.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hendrickson:
No good quality ones. I said they looked worse, its a scaling thing 1:1 on the 1080p Note 3 screen, but the 1080p video has to scale up to 1440p to fit the G3 so it doesn't look as sharp. I've played the same clip on a G3 sreen and a Note 3. And it looked better on the Note 3, sharper.

Better yet do this test on your LG G3 and you'll see what I mean. Run the 1080p video scaled 100% to fit, then run it as 100% or original size, it will be smaller and with boarders. But it WILL look much sharper and better. If you still can't see the 1080p clip is sharper when its at its original size and not upscaled to fix the higher res, you need glasses.

Yeah I'm sure the Note 4 screen is going to better much and be the best mobile phone screen there is for some time. I hope it won't overheat and have the brightness reduce itself like it does on my G3 :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
Maybe a faulty g3?

Also, It doesn't scale anything because the ratio is the same.

I believe most if the guys here have a laptop or TV fhd. Do you seriously feel any lost os quality when playing 720p movies. IMO this thread is non sense.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hendrickson:
Wow really? I hope your joking.

Sure when I play a 720p clip on my 1440p monitor it looks exactly the same as a 1440p video clip! .... And its not resizing the 720p video to fit my 2560 x 1440p resolution Because the RATIO is the same... !?! Of course not..

Haha ok jokes aside, - close the thread?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
What I meant, and sorry if was not obvious, is that the aspect ratio of the video still 16:9. It's not deformed life when you take a 4:3 video and scale its aspect to 16:9. So... if you have ANY video with the same scale it will keep its aspect and just fill the screen. Again, there's no technical reason why it should look worse. Take the same video and play on a 720p, 1080p or 2k or 4k screen, the aspect will still the same and if the quality if affected is because of another technologies related to the screen, not the resolution.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bubbled:
Comparing 4:3 to 16:9 HDTVs

If you are comparing the screen from a 4:3 ratio SDTV to a 16:9 HDTV then the biggest reason it looks "better" on a 4:3 is because the tv has scanlines. HDTV's do not have scanlines. its like watching a hdtv with a grid over it. it softens the jagged/blurry edges that you see on the clear (no scanlines) hdtv.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pcguy101:
Try 1080p gaming vs 2k gaming .2k is far greater even if its upscaled from 1080p.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShadowFlare:
Short answer: You won't notice blurriness watching 1080p video on Note 4's 1440p screen.

Long answer:

Pixels are pixels, be it on a 27" monitor or a 5.7" screen.

Playing a 1080p video on 1080p will be sharp of course, because of 1 : 1 pixel.

Playing 1080p video on 1440p however, it will have a 1 : 1.8 scale up. Remember, this is Pixel scaling, not screen scaling.

Screen scaling would be watching 1080p on Note 3's 1080p 5.7" screen vs on a 27" 1080p monitor.

Viewed on a 27" 1440p monitor, you may notice a slight blurring but will not be noticable unless you really look for it. I know because I have 2x 27" monitors, one of which is 1080p while the other is 1440p. I have made this observation before.

Now on a 5.7" screen, you definitely won't see any blurriness watching 1080p on the Note 4, even if you try due to the super density of the pixels. I can only say this by theory, comparison, and previous experience, but I'm confident you won't be able to tell the difference.

I think I can say the same too for 1080p gaming on 1440p monitor.

We are seeing a very low key launch here right now. We were actually the first people to preorder yesterday, even though they have been available for preorders since Friday. The only ads we've also seen are the snarky apple comparison ads, which don't really make Samsung look that great, IMHO.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] rans0m00:
Lol so I read the article on gsmarena... Says Samsung moved the launch date up because "The positive reaction from consumers to those two Apple devices prompted us to launch the Note 4 earlier than previously scheduled. Samsung will be aggressive in promoting the Note 4 as it's true that we are being challenged and pressured amid a difficult situation,"

Really Samsung? How could they be so blind? Apple is androids biggest competitor... So apple releases a phablet and Samsung thinks they are going to release the note 4 almost a month later and not lose market share?

With how little of an upgrade the note4 compared to the note3 I know a few that bought the 6+ to just test the waters. With such a small upgrade they should have had this out on launch day to get as many sales as possible.

I have given up thinking Samsung has a strategy and just realized they are not familiar with consumerism... Especially western consumerism. They need to quit making lame ads about Apple and start copying apples marketing strategies while producing top of the line phones.
