[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChadMan097:
When I bought my M8 off of Swappa it was already rooted and supposedly converted to the GPE edition. (Mine was the AT&T M8) I want to swtich back but what my bootloader says doesn't make sense. Anybody willing to look at it and see what's going on here?

Bootloader says:

Tampered

Unlocked

M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-3.16.0.0000

RADIO-1.14.213331931.LA21G

OpenDSP-v.26.2.2-00538-M8974.0106

OS-

eMMC-boot 2048MB

Feb 27 2014,16:20:59.22987

Mainly, it isn't S-OFF and I have no CID. I have no idea what is up with this device but anyway to get it where it should?

Thanks! :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChadMan097:
Also it claims it CID (in ADB) CWM__07. Something to that note at least.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
My guess is that the previous owner just flashed a GPE-based ROM, and didn't do the full conversion. I say this since the phone is S-on; and S-off is needed for the full conversion.

The radio number is also the AT&T radio, not the GPE one.

Does the phone have the AT&T logo on the back?

What happens when you boot into recovery?

I'm thinking you can just flash a ROM of your choice; or relock the bootloader and run the AT&T RUU.

What exactly does it say for CID? AT&T CID is CWS__001, I'm guessing that is what you have.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChadMan097:
I think that is the CID, okay that may be it. The recover is the latest of Philz Touch. The ruu always fails if I run it though, which confuses me cause I do want to run stock att room but with some rooted features is all.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not enough info. Any error message? Did you relock the bootloader (required if S-on)?

Which RUU are you trying to run?

You can try this one: http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-2-23-502-3-bootable-ruu-pc-required-t2860486

Folks seem to have more luck with this, than the "official" .exe RUU.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChadMan097:
Sorry for leaving some of that information out.

No, the bootloader is still unlocked, and it just comes back it couldn't do it. No error codes, just Failed to flash firmware and then you have to close it. I was trying to run the official HTC/AT&T RUU and that is the one that failed. I will try the new RUU you showed. Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
There's your problem right there. I've already stated it twice, so I'm not sure how else to get it across. Let's try it again:

You need to relock the bootloader to run the RUU since you are S-on.

This goes with the bootable RUU I linked, as well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChadMan097:
I got that. There was a post glitch. I have tried re-locking it, but there seems to be an ADB issue with my device as it will not correctly send commands.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If the command "adb devices" does not return the device ID, you probably have a USB connectivity issue.

Try a different USB cable, or another USB port on your PC. Re-install HTC Sync, and if that still doesn't work, uninstall all HTC Sync and HTC drivers. Connect the phone, but

do not

choose the option to automatically install HTC Sync or drivers. Go to Device Manager, and find the device and manually pick the option for Generic Android MTP device (or something to that effect).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
I got rid of HTC sync. The drivers are fine, but sync screws stuff up.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, different solutions seem to work for different PCs. And HTC Sync seems to cause more issues than its worth. Really very little benefit to Sync, aside form the fact its the most "automated" way to install the drivers.

On my work laptop, everything worked fine (adb, fastboot, MTP) on the automatically installed HTC Sync (when you attach the phone). But on my home tower PC, only adb and fastboot worked, but I could never get the internal storage to mount MTP after trying various HTC drivers, uninstalling Sync, etc. Just uninstalling everything HTC and using the Generic Android MTP drivers via Device Manager is what finally worked on that computer (everything works now, adb, fastboot, MTP).
[LG Optimus L90] modthis:
I'm a bit of a noob here and the first and last phone I ever rooted/installed ROMs on was the S4 which to say was fairly simple with lots of detailed threads. I have no idea how to get into TWRP to start flashing on my D415.

For the record I first used towelroot to root, then I successfully followed aSuperSaiyanG0D's thread and unlocked my bootloader, I then proceeded to use ROM Installer to flash shoxxy's TWRP.img to my recovery.

Is there a hardware button combo to get to recovery like the Galaxy? What do I do from here? I tried using reboot to recovery in ROM Installer and the LG logo pops up, then the Android guy for a second, then the LG logo again which is followed by loading up my phone normally. Thanks very much in advance!
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Key combos to enter recovery are tricky. I'd use Terminal Emulator. You say you're already rooted.

Open Terminal Emulator, if you don't have it, download from the Play Store. Type:

su
reboot recovery

Key combos -> READ CAREFULLY ::

Power off device

Press and hold Volume Up + Power until LG Logo appears. While still holding Volume Up, quickly release and press and hold Power button until Factory Reset screen appears. Don't worry, this won't reset your device with any of the newer recoveries available. Use Volume Up/Down to navigate and Power to select. You must select 'Yes' twice before you will boot to recovery. It will take a few seconds after choosing "Yes" the second time before the recovery will boot.​

I would also highly suggest enabling fastboot mode. There is a thread in the L90 forums just for that.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Rereading your post it sounds like TWRP didn't get installed correctly. Download "Flashify" and use it to flash your recovery image. I know it works as I use it, LOL!
[LG Optimus L90] modthis:
Thanks so much! Hardware buttons worked well. You were right though, I had to fix with Flashify. :laugh:

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocala:
A bash exploit has been discovered that may give hope to rootless devices. In theory, install an apk with a vulnerable bash binary and run a script to gain root.

Keep an eye on this one :)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
This has nothing to do with gaining root. The only way you gain root is by having a binary that already runs as root that has an exploit or finding an exploit in the kernel. Installing an apk with bash in it won't magically make bash run as root.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocala:
Sorry, you're mistaken. It has everything to do with gaining root, that's why this is marked as a urgent remote vulnerability. You exploit a bug in bash to gain a # prompt, at least in theory. It also applies to ssh.

Will it apply to the various android bash binaries? I have no idea.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
No, there is no magic. The entry says

"use this flaw to override or bypass environment restrictions to execute shell commands. Certain services and applications allow remote unauthenticated attackers to provide environment variables"

This means if a service or application which was running as another user (lets say root) and you provided it environment variables that exploited this vulnerability, then you could make it do stuff as root. But you'll only be able to make it do something that user could already do. Since there is no way to make a bash binary run as root in the first place, you aren't magically going to get root.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocala:
Here's more info:

http://www.csoonline.com/article/26...ity/remote-exploit-in-bash-cve-2014-6271.html

This has to do with Privilege Escalation -- it has nothing to do with a binary that already has root privileges. That's why security mavens are so freaked by this possible exploit. Lots of devices routinely run bash with non-root access; the possible exploit is to make bash crash, leaving you at a # prompt.

More info:

http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-6271
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
I see nothing in there to indicate anything remotely related to privilege escalation. You can't gain root from thin air. If that were the case, it would be a kernel bug. This is just a vulnerability that can make the bash shell do something other than the script it's running says it should do. But it can't gain the ability to become a root shell.

A good example of a way to exploit this is passing in a specially crafted header into a cgi script, causing it to send that in to a bash shell, which would then be running arbitrary commands as the user of the cgi script. Similar to SQL injection where you cause the SQL server to run arbitrary commands.

I cannot install ota update,the instalation fails at framework/core.odex.I used lucky patcher,busybox.my phone is huawei yumo,android 4.1.1.help me please and show me how to repair core.odex
[XDA Assist] :
Hi,

With most phones you need to be stock to accept an ota. No custom recovery, no Xposed and no other system alterations. So, you either undo those or just flash the stock firmware. Lucky patcher I don't know. That app is not discussed on XDA as it hacks paid apps.

If you need help with any of that or have any other questions about your device, please post them here....

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonOfAnarchy0210:
Hi! I am trying to unroot my phone and return all the way to stock.

Problem is that I lost all my backups.

I *think* I am currently on an older version of the FireKat rom.

I just want to completely go back to stock everything and start fresh. Will probably end up rooting and ROM'ing again at some point but for now just want to get on stock everything. Getting bored of my phone and having a lot of little bugs and issues (nothing major) but would like to switch back for a while because I simply just dont have the time to keep up with everything.

So if someone could please just point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Have looked for a guide on how to do it but am not sure if it will work for what I am trying to do.

Thank you very much in advance!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Puckster:
When i had my Wizard (k-jam) i would use TCPMP to play music through my Bluetake iPhono Mini Bluetooth Headphones. When i pressed the power button to enter standby mode the music would continue to play.

Now i have my nice new JasJam, i try to do the same however as soon as i press the power button it seems to enter a deep standby mode and the music stops.

When playing music i now have to remember to lock it everytime i put it in the belt holder or my pocket to stop opening applications and as the backlight keeps turning on it chews through the battery life.

So does anyone know of a way to keep music playing while in standby? Is this a hardware limitation of the Hermes?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wwwes:
wmp and spbpocketplus have this feature

if you assign a button to this in wmp, you can use 'screen toggle' and it both turns off the display and locks buttons except the dpad. I use this daily to play music. played for 5 hours today and down to 90%.

(i was on gprs at the time)

spbpocketplus also has a screen toggle function that you could use. it does exactly the same thing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Puckster:
Thanks, i didnt even think about the Pocket+ screen toggle feature (i guess i was hoping for a reg hack). I tried the Pocket+ feature and it actually locks all buttons except power so this should sort me out.

I tried to assigned a button going through the WMP's options>buttons>toggle screen, but it did not let me. Do I have to install the spbpocketplus to accomplish this?

I had the SX66 before and now moved to the Cingular 8525. My SX66 was able to go to the standby mode while playing th WMP by turning the power switch off. The screen got dimmed and all the button except the power button became disable. I don't exactly remember why mine could, but mine had the latest ROM and etc. It was a nice function and I miss it...........
