Oh my bad.

HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Got to be a bit careful when you give information, multiple times you gave people the wrong MID to configure, now telling people the OTA is modified and it's just the firmware.
[One (M8) Android Development] LNJ:
Dude assume your own risk!

At least I figured out changing the MID gave me the OTA...

HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
I do, I'm just saying I wasted a lot of time trying to find the command to set the MID you wrote down. Completely my fault, I get that.

With all the MID changes, CID changes, Radios not quite using Rogers' full capacity, I'm giving pure Rogers a try this week to see how it behaves. Probably won't be an early provider to push 4.4.4 and Android L but I spend too much time d!cking on the phone already.

It's Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and it least I'll know that i don't have the latest, but that everything works.
[One (M8) Android Development] LNJ:
The commands to change the MID are in the MID thread with the commands for changing it to Unlocked Dev Edition and AT&T.

HTC devices are just dumb.

S-OFF, CID, MID, Firmware, RUU, OTA, specific recoveries and all the other crap.

For a stop gap phone, it is pretty infuriating!

The Nexus 6 can't come fast enough so I can throw the M8 out of the Window.

Btw, the radio on this RUU supports 2600mhz LTE based on the MID and the chart on Anandtech which shows the supported frequencies of all models of the M8.

HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Hopefully the OTA will come soon then.
[One (M8) Android Development] exocetdj:
For modding experience its pretty valuable experience however ;)

looks like i will have to amend my guide on dev conversion as HTC have made it far far far to easy by releasing this RUU lol!!!!
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Now that I think of it, Brightstar Dev Edition will more than likely get updates faster than Rogers.
[One (M8) Android Development] LNJ:
No doubt but bootloader unlocking and custom recovery flashing should be it to gain root and the ability to flash custom roms.

This S-off business combined with CID and MID is a pain in the butt for people like me who don't use a PC unless I have to!

And I've been molding phones since the Moto V3 Razr days.

Btw is Brightstar a telco or is it just a designation that HTC gave to a Dev Edition software?

HTC One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] exocetdj:
Isn't brighstar a carrier? excuse my english stupidity lol :p
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Brightstar seems to be a Carrier with a reputation of getting updates out fast and not adding bloat, which probably helps them put OTAs available quickly.
[One (M8) Android Development] exocetdj:
One of the better ones then, I will be converting to dev (using my own guide as RUU's are cheating hehehe :p) if Brightstar issues the OTA first for android L
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
Why make it easy when you can make it complicated! I know they don't have the 4.4.4 OTA yet but I am excited to see Sense with L
[One (M8) Android Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Optimus g was the last lg to be able to hack easily. This device had root and soff almost at release. G2 took a while and g3 just got done getting unlocked so be thankful.
[One (M8) Android Development] LNJ:
Yeah seems like every generation is getting worse.

Btw is anyone else experiencing delay/lag on the blinkfeed launcher when you press home or when trying to switch apps?

It's okay upon fresh reboot but then becomes worse.

No such issues with the Google Now launcher which remains fluid no matter what!

Nope. Smooth as butter.

My bad, I was talking about 2.x updates, I did not know about the 4.4.4 update.
[One (M8) Android Development] Roefastford:
Hey, your on the verizon version right ? Did this work right for you on a verizon m8 ? I read every page buts it a lot to keep up with. I would like to convert my verizon m8 to dev edition, my question is just is it working right for you ? Once you convert is it set and you receive updates or do you have to keep changing things to get each update ?

I can do most things on my verizon m8 but I have never changed cid and what is it mid ?

Any advice on if it works right and the easiest way what to do step by step for those of us that learned all this stuff on their own and may not have an easy time. I dont suppose there is a video on how to do this on a verizon m8 ? That would be too easy right lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Right now I"am ( verizon m8 ) s-off running twrp 2.8.0.4 and I"am on viperone 2.5 thanks !!!!!
[One (M8) Android Development] jake.99x3:
First I'd check to see if you can open the RUU on your pc. M never tried it because I couldn't get it to open. Download the RUU open it and if you can get past the terms and conditions without the RUU closing let me know. I'll guide you from there
[One (M8) Android Development] Roefastford:
Dumb ? Which download link do I use ? One shows for gpe which I dont have I"am on sense 6 viperone, and there is another link below that but I dont want to assume its that 2nd one after because I definitely dont want to mix things up and brick my verizon m8
[One (M8) Android Development] Nic2112:
If you take a minute to read the first post, it'll explain that from GPE you need to download both but since you are from Sense, you just use the bottom link.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Has anyone received an OTA for 4.4.4 yet? I'm surprised that US Dev Edition phones haven't gotten it yet.
[One (M8) Android Development] jake.99x3:
I have to agree with the post above.... Read the 5 line post and you'll see that the GPE is for those who had a GPE device.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stockmoose16:
Hi,

I have the latest Stock Rom rooted and am trying to access the internal SD card to transfer a Titanium backup folder to my PC. When I plug in the USB and hit MTP, all I get is the internal storage, rather than the SD card where everything is backed up. How can I access the internal SD on my PC?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choristav:
Unless you have a korean modem, internal sd card, internal storage and sdcard0 is the same thing.

Otherwise it might be a mount/format problem.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stockmoose16:
I have a US phone. I believe it's actually accessing the internal SD, but not the internal storage. I can't access any data.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choristav:
Well there's like 3 or 4 US phones, which one is it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stockmoose16:
VS980 (verizon)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Choristav:
Then you don't have an SD, just the internal flash memory. What do you mean you can't access it? Is all you see blank? Have you tried the camera connection? Do you have all the necessary drivers installed? How about a screenshot or maybe actually detailing your problem, so far it took 4 posts to get your model, I wonder how many will be necessary to describe it at the very least.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jubbbird:
Hello everybody

I have been reading on this forum for some time now, and I understand the update process, including unlocking, its all great.

However, Im at a loss - I have no idea what I have to gain from upgrading my ROM.

I currently have an untouched T-Mobile Vario II with bootloader 1.04, hardware vesion (?) 634.

My friend has just recieved his Vario II, v646.

Everyones talking about using ROMs from other providers, but I've yet to read anything substantial about whats to be gained from switching or upgrading ROMs.

What CAN actually be changed by changing ROMs? For example, T-Mobile have been kind enough to bundle my device with a free registered version of 'Spb GPRS Monitor' - it monitors GPRS/3G and battery power, plus providing a useful bar on the today screen. it's very useful and I wouldn't want to lose it should I decide to gamble on a ROM update that provides nothing nearly as useful.

I have identified several short comings of my devide, not the least of which is the fact that it intermittantly skips every 30+ seconds when playing music through my stereo bluetooth earphones. I imagine that some kind of update will be required to fix this, as it seems to be a problem for only certain version of the device - the Vario II being the obvious.

I have also decided that I would like to try other graphic themes. Before I have a go at making my own I thought it might be nice to try some existing ones...

There are lots of hardware/radio versions published, but unless I've missed it theres very little talk about what the ROMs provide.

Cheers very much for all your help thus far, and in advance for anything else you might be able to help me with!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
lets make this a simple one.. if you are happy with the device the way it is then there is nothing to change... kinda like the old saying, "If it aint broke then dont fix it"

If there are things you are looking to change then maybe post your problems here and we can tell you if you would benefit from changing roms!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] simon_darley:
I have the universal and purchased the hermes for size and HSDPA / UMTS improvements.

The universal was upgraded and hacked many times.

However, I cant see an upgrade rom hack that is available at all here for the hermes yet.

Can anybody confirm a WWE 3.x Rom upgrade being available? Mine is Imate, but I am not particularly loyal in any way, but would like more reliable Push Email, and the speed improvements that occur with 3.x

To the moderator, you cant really say if it aint broke dont fix it, cause quite often, you dont know if it is broken until you start to fix something, and you dont know if something is faster, better, more efficient, more effective, or provides improvements in functionality until a question is asked.

Its a bit like me taking my car to a mechanic, they always ask if everything is fine, it always is, but they always call me up and tell me that this isnt working, this needs fixing, and this is about to broke... You can triple the cost if you would like us to fix it.

You didnt know until somebody points out the improvements and benefits.

So, I would like the initial question answered as well, if somebody is prepared to give an explanation and some guidance.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
Here's some upgrading facts for you: :)

There is no AKU 3.x ROM available for the Hermes yet.

Due to a new encryption strategy, ROMS take 25 minutes to flash. Any interruptions during this time may brick your device.

Also due to the above encryption strategy, we are not yet able to cook our own custom ROMS for the Hermes.

Boot Loader v1.04 which shipped with most of the early ROMs contains a bug which allows easy bypassing of CID lock. However subsequent bootloaders fix this problem and will CID lock you to your original vendor. The only crossgrade solution is to first downgrade to a BL1.04 version of your vendor's ROM then exploit the bug to load another. Device owners without a 1.04BL version of their ROM have consequently been unable to crossgrade/unlock their Hermes.

There is a bootleg solution that will flash BL1.04 on any Hermes while leaving the rest of the ROM untouched. However, it isn't available here. In fact the original owner of it's copyrighted code actively pursues anybody who posts this solution on the internet. Consequently, it's worldwide availability is constantly changing

There is a CID/SIM unlock solution by pof that is posted here which works with the 1.04 Bootloader only

The more current ROMS for the DoPod, TyTN and 8525 contain measured performance improvements

The most current radio rom (v1.20) improves battery performance

Most of the newer roms fix a media player audio stutter bug

Getting a combination of the most current radio ROM and the most current device ROM involves 40-60 minutes of flashing time and the use of the bootleg BL1.04 solution described above.

HTH!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] simon_darley:
Thanks sleuth255 for taking the time to answer comprehensively.

I am really only interested in upgrading to 3.x and will wait and see how things transpire. There was major benefits to the universal upgrade to 3.x however, the hermes doesnt appear to suffer the speed issues of the universal and I am so far very happy with the device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sergiopi:
I tested all the WWE ROM here (not the one with 1.09 bootloader, because since today is a one way only road, no way to flash back the original ROM)

About music skip: not sure if upgrade will solve it (since today) but there is a good patch here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=284974

Other well known problems (lost storage card in windows media player, overnight and in-call freeze, poor efficiency (short battery life in UMTS coverage, slow performances if compared to processor speed promise, ...) are still unsolved

I will suggest: play if you want, but having in mind that HERMES ROM flashing today is just for play, have a look, testing, not for really solving anything

Supercid ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=282073 ) your device to play with ROMs, now, because you have the 1.04 bootloader version. Once SUPERCIDed you can play with all ROM
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jubbbird:
Well thats my primary issue at the moment and it sounds a lot like your fix may work for me.

I am using an original ROM im guessing, with bootloader 1.04 so all the doors are open for me. I'm in nor rush, strictly speaking, because I love this device and it generally works wonders for me. I listen to music for long periods of time once in a while (long car journeys alone with my SE ds970 - plugs the ears well providing awsome noise removal from external sources, can't even hear the engine on my crappy Vauxhall Corsa with those in...) but it is during those periods that I suffer with the skipping. fixing it will be wonderful.

I have a question about your fix though, but I worry that having read the first few pages of your other thread, and the last few, I may have missed the answer so I apologise if I'm asking questions you have already answered - but I remember reading the original thread a while ago from the guy who discovered the Task Manager app that fixed the issue and he mentioned that because the software seems to prevent any CPU speed scaling (not sure if thats actually what its doing) he observed that CPU battery consumption while running that specific app + audio decreased noticably. Is this still an issue with your patch? I plan to purchase a working in-car power adapter so it won't really be a problem, but im curious :)

I'm gonna take my time with regards to ROM upgrades because as has been mentioned above - I have only a few issues which after reading this thread now seem to be standing issues which won't be fixed whatever I decide to do right now. Ultimately, I have the stuff I detailed above adn thus far no steadfast information about which ROMs are good for what. I don't even know anything about this 3.x business noted above...

What I'd like to know now, before I try your fix, is - if i were to install a TyTn ROM (which right now Im assuming is an original HTC TyTn ROM as oposed to a yet-to-be-released T-Mobile ROM...?) will that effectively brand it back to HTC, wipe the onboard flash, give me the original TyTn green theme, remove all the software and settings T-Mobile gave me (they were kind enough to give me a licensed copy of Spb GPRS Monitor which is quite an advantage for me - my friend has a more recent T-Mobile Vario II and they seem to have retracted the offer :) ... ) and leave me at square one with any fixes/improvements/new-issues that ROM provides?

I also seem to remember reading that because as yet T-Mobile have not released an original ROM, changing now is a one way trip.

I think what I need is for someone to set me in the right direction from the perspective of a early Vario II user. I really enjoy my gadgets, and the best thing about them is "fixing things that aint broke" ;) I love upgrading and trying to squeeze it for all its worth. Better yet, updating my device and gloating to those who have no idea what that means! ;) It's all good...

Anyway, cheers very much for your help thus far - greatly appreciated.

Had you read Agni or Nadia thread carefully NG4 firmware onwards custom kernels to work one needs to flash Mali blobs right after flashing custom kernel and then the phone would boot. In agni thread it can be found on page 330 or something. You can use those blobs with both Nadia and Agni. Flash the custom kernel then wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the blobs and reboot your phone it will boot up fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] __Sorcerer__:
I have never had this issue before so i'm coming for some help as i'm guessing it's something to do with CM. Last night i flashed cm-10.1.3-quincyatt with no problems at all. Everything was working flawlessly. Once i got my phone fully charged and most of my apps setup ect. I did a battery calibration, then used a drainer app to drain the battery completely as normal. plugged the charger back in and it charged to about 75-80% i picked my phone up a bit later to check messages and noticed it was not charging. I unplugged and replugged the charger cord with no success in getting the phone to charge. I've tried numerous cords, usb cables ect. Nothing will charge. It won't even recognize the phone when plugged in usb on the computer. the battery charges fine with an external charger, but obviously i cannot use the phone while the battery is out on an external charging unit. I know someone is probably going to suggest the charging port went bad...i highly doubt that because it was just replaced not a week ago. also, any time i've had a charging port go out, nothing will work in the port, not even a dongle jig. I powered the phone down and inserted my dongle jig to test and make sure, and sure enough, the second the dongle jig is inserted the phone powers on and boots into download mode as it should. I've reset dalvik ect. tried everything i can think of besides wiping and reflashing, as i'm trying to avoid that since i have about 4 hours or so in setting up custom settings/apps ect. on the phone lol. I've noticed browsing the web i'm not the only person experiencing this issue, so can someone please help me in fixing it asap? Thanks in advance for the help, and if a thread was already posted on how to fix this, please direct me to it, because i could not find it.

[Update]

I have wiped and reflashed just to test and see if that would fix the issue, sadly it still will NOT charge.

You will need to flash Stock Firmware back to get that app. Please refer to Mirror links for Grand Duos GT-9082 Custom/Official Firmware for the right firmware.

Otherwise you may wish to review [Q] Spirit FM for CM11? for alternate apps that will help you use Radio. If you still have a question, please post in that thread.
