First off, it's not impossible. There's a thread in here with firmware that you can use and update without the OTA. Second, this is the wrong sub-forum for questions.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TidusWulf:
I'm also trying to get to 4.4.3 but after trying to re install the old recovery, it tells me I can't do the OTA.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] silver04v:
Jeez...if you guys have soff and twrp and whatnot just flash the stock rooted rom scott gave us. Simple as that. You'll find it here in the vzw one m8 android development section.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Scott:
Or alternately, if you no longer require control of you device at the lowest levels then just flash dottats RUU and magically your phone will be 100% stock.

But yeah, wrong forum.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DBordello:
The reason to do the OTA, is because I am lazy. I don't feel like reinstalling all of my apps, etc. The OTA is a nice incremental upgrade.

Where can I find the stock recovery, and directions to flash back to it? It is my understanding, that if I do that, I can apply the OTA.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] phil.culler:
Try this for getting your drive space.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708571

Its now 100GB so its definitely worth a shot. As for getting back to stock for an update you can always use a RUU since relocking your bootloader will drive space then unlocking it again after will cause a factory reset anyway. Back up everything that isnt already, relock with the instructions from the thread I linked, run a ruu to get back to stock, update the system, then unlock your bootloader again with your unlock code bin file.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] syntropic:
OK... that sounds like great info.... But to confirm though... I need S-off to relock bootloader. This is because I am essentially going back to factory default lock (without dealing with HTC at all). And by doing this, and then flashing the RUU (backing up everything first of course), I will be back to square one stock. For one, this will make it tough for HTC to claim I unlocked the bootloader (minimizing potentially any dispute over Google Drive promo). Then I would get any/all outstanding updates. I guess if I need S-off, then I would need to get sunshine, so I could just let that app re-unlock the bootloader. instead of using the .bin file (presuming I need s-off)?

Sorry... just confused as to when and for what specifically I need S-off (as your link emphasizes this).

Thanks a lot!!!!:good:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] phil.culler:
It looks like you will need S-Off to factory lock the bootloader. S-Off allows you to make changes to otherwise protected areas of the file system. To clarify, I haven't tried this method myself as I haven't had a need to factory relock my device yet. I ran full stock for months before I rooted. As for HTC knowing whether or not you unlocked your bootloader, if you used the HTCDEV method then they have record of you receiving an unlock token from them but if they go into bootloader for any reason and see Locked instead of Relocked they shouldnt give you any trouble I would think. I believe you can also reset it to S-On but again I've never tried and I'm not sure its entirely safe. You'll have to look into that.
[Moto 360] Stormbot:
Yesterday I took my Moto 360 off for most of the day and noticed that at times the green light underneath (the heart rate monitor) would turn on by itself. It seems that the heartrate app is monitoring my heart even when I never asked it to.

I know it is a bit "old fashioned" not to want to share my personal information with Google but is there a way to turn this "feature" off? So far I found a small bit of black electrical tape does the trick but do I have to carry around all my electronics in a Faraday cage just to maintain some semblance of privacy?

Just asking.

Can somebody tell me the difference between VMo EU1, - EU2, - EU3 and - EU4?

Thanx
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootk1t:
the main difference is in preinstalled bloatware.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdxx:
Thanx,

I flashed EU1 first, than EU4 (because i though that was the right one).

But they're just the same to me.

Same bloatware as far as I can see.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cat McGowan:
You can identify your tablet's current firmware's region, branding, customization, and version by reading its \system\build.prop file. You can find the latest released firmware version listed in Apollo89's thread HERE.

Make a backup of /system/media/bootanimation.zip

then replace it with the new one. Make sure you fix permissions after replacing it.

If it doesn't work, use this app to install it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations&hl=en

how to fix the permissions after replacing it? :eek:
[ONE Themes and Apps] bassilap:
Use ES Explorer or Root Explorer or File Manager and go to the file and change permissions to whatever was set on the file originally (Probably rw-r--r--).

If you're not sure how to do this, i'd recommend just using the app I suggested above.

I recomend a backup first in case you want something back

For obvious reasons i recomend freeze them first and only after you make sure everything works delete.

There are a few apps that despite they could be deleted without affectinf the system they afect others (i.e. browser makes some apps fail like play google).

[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] gimmeluck2:
can i unroot the phone?

so that i can OTA update maybe? b ecause OTA update fails maybe because of root it is?
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
You'll receive and be able to install OTA updates if the rom you're using is an "original" one.

If your rom was a developed one by someone you can't.

Doesn't have to do with the fact your phone is rooted or not.

I was able to do an OTA upgrade on my phone and it was rooted.

Anyway I think that RootGenious can unroot. Don't remember and I can't confirm atm.

Edit: witch version you have? Can you link it?
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] gimmeluck2:
i have VIBEUI_V2.0_1435_7.2.1_ST_K910_WC3A official,

itcan see system update to

VIBEUI_V2.0_1437_7.44.1_ST_K910

it downloads it but

but it fails after restart. phone rooted and gapps flashed.

CAn it be because of the some chinesee system apps which i Uninstalled ( not freeze) by titanium pro?
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
Don't believe that's chinese apps had any influence anyway, this time in order to have the latest rom follow this:

Install Rom from here [1437 is the latest atm for K910 witch is diferent of K910e]

Root your device [follow the steps from 1st post]

Install GMS Tools [follow the steps from 1st post]

Instal TWRP [follow the steps from 1st post]

1st freeze the apps you want and only then after confirm everything works at lest for 1 day you can delete the freezed apps.

note: Your problems with OTA updates may came from the deleted files

Good luck ;)

hello,

i have update my snapit camera(viberom_v1.0_1407) trough in app update. then i integrate update into rom by titanium backup. now camera cannot open even with other camera app.

i tried uninstall/reinstall apk but failed. then plan to try flash rom brought me to this thread and to this above post.

my phone fail camera test in engineer mode! will it possibly be ok after flash new rom? :confused: please help
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
That may be for 2 reasons as far as i am aware.

1. despite there's a new camere version (V.3.6.7) i might be incompatible with your version of VibeUI (is it 1.0_1407?!?! that's old)

2. Titanium Backup it's a great program but it's know for some years (at least 4) that some systenm apps may fail. Not sure if the programers had solved this in the last years since i've been out of xda for 2 years.

3. You may try to solve that this way:

Install any root explorer from market (i.e. Es File Explorer)

Go to settings > root > give permission > root again and in the pop up window choose RW for both

Go to system > app and rename SCG_arm_fhd_pro_sus.apk to SCG_arm_fhd_pro_sus.apk.bk

Make a copy of com-lenovo.sgc-1.apk to your sdcard (on data > app)

delete the file from data > app

Go to the file you just copied on sdcard and move it to system > app

Long press and choose permissions.

Check all the boxes available and reboot

See if this work if not an upgrade for the last VibeUI will do.

Hope it helps and you've understand :laugh:
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] adam_ridzuan:
I understand, but the problem is, there is no com-lenovo and scg_arm. Any idea"?
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:

DEAD K910

Good day, please accept my apologies if this is posted in the wrong area of the forum. I have a Lenovo K910 dual SIMM unit from China. One of our employees (we sell these devices) was attempting to return the unit to factory default and has managed to completely destroy the unit. It will not show any display and will not vibrate when switched on. All that happens is the red LED will flash almost every second when plugged into a PC. The device will only show up as a fastboot device with the device listed as 'bf2b867 fastboot'. I have tried loading several different QPST drivers to try work with the QPST tools but to no avail.

[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] agsao:
Thanks for your cooperation, but excuse me I am new with android could you check the following steps if these are ok or there is something missing:

1. I rooted my phone with RootGenius

2. I installed TWRP and I checked it works well

3. I downloaded the latest ROM VibeUi_V2.0_1437_K910 as my phone version K910

4. I should placed the new rom in my "internal memory" on root --- I've no external SD slot ---

5. I should enter TWRP by rebooting phone and keeping 2 volume buttons pressed.

6. Should I backup something ????

7. On TWRP Wipe >> Swipe to factory reset

8. On TWRP Install >> Select the new ROM from the internal memory ????

9. On TWRP Wipe >> Advanced Wipe >> select Cache & Dalvik Cache >> Swipe to Wipe

10. Reboot

11. Install GMS Tools then Google Play

==> I don't know is the new software rooted or not? Can I delete Chinese app without rooting?

==> What is the need of "Tools to Recover a Bricked Phone" as shown in above instruction?

sorry for long questions and sorry for my language "from Egypt"

but I have to make sure that I'll follow the right steps first.

Thanks alot
[Lenovo Vibe Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowds:
Place whatever you want. I wrote sdcard because thats how twrp sees it;)

Always do a bk 1st. thats common sense :laugh:

Select from whatever you ve placed rom zip file

Before GMS Tools you should reroot again since this is the original lenovo rom. saying that, its unrooted.

After that check if twrp still there. if not reinstall it

TO add a few more codes:

####2222# show serial number

####5993# show software version

####7777# factory reset

####46361111# Network Info in Android 4.4

And... now will ask for some help:

Maybe this is something ridiculously simple, but still... I can't figure it out:

For some reason when I place an OUTGOING call, and the other side picks up, the event is being kept as "UNKNOWN" in the call log - I can see the call duration, but cannot see the actual number I've dialed. It doesn't matter if the dialed number is part of my address book or is a random number - if it gets connected, it is always "UNKNOWN".

Interesting enough - while dialing, it is all good, when the other side picks up and the timer appears, I see the "UNKNOWN" appearing. Really strange!

All that happened after I upgraded to VIBE UI 2.0 (1437 at the moment). I can conform having the same with older versions - 1433, 1435.

it only does that when I dial via SIM 1. SIM 2 works like charm and puts the right information; Also, using a SIM card from another operator is fine... So that could be some incompatibility between VIBEui 2.0 and my operator... But still - I like the new look and upgrading is tempting.

Oh, and forgot to mention - this problem NEVER happens with vibeui 1.5; Even with the latest ideafriend.apk installed.

For that you should work on framework-res.apk and framework.jar and also on services.jar and settings.apk (i think this is all but you may search here at xda. there's plenty of tutorials about that)
