M8 ul, HTC__001, 2.22.401.05

S-off, rooted, unlocked bootloader

If I super cid my handset does that mean I can use ANY RUU suitable for "international m8" even if the RUU has an older hboot and firmware ?

Currently on ARHD 11.1 and trying to work out best, and easiest, way to get back for stock for OTA "L" update when it comes.

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
I believe the super CID means you can install any RUU period - sort of like a skeleton key. It's then up to you to make sure that you are installing an appropriate version.

If you just need to go back to stock, however, you only need a CID for your carrier/region (or developer edition) and the appropriate RUU.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It won't allow you to "downgrade" or run an RUU with a lower hboot number. Although s-off will allow this.

To the OP, does a RUU for any international M8 even exist? AFAIK only US variants have RUUs. You will probably have to find your carrier's nandroid, and stock recovery to return to stock for OTA.

But if you are willing to flash custom ROMs, there will probably be custom ROMs based on Android "L" soon after it starts rolling out OTA. Possibly even faster than waiting for your carrier version.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10rdan:
Will, more than likely, use mikes "version" of L when released. Main reason I want to get OTA update is so my firmware is updated for L.

My handset is not locked to any carrier, sim free UK handset.

Thanks

Edit, was just curious as to the benefits of super cid. I've got my own "complete" nandroid, no missing data, so as I was told by mr hofs yesterday all I need to do is flash one of his stock recoveries.
[LG Optimus G Pro] RebootAgain:
-- Disregard post --

After about the millionth try, it worked. I don't get it but whatever.

AT&T E980

I'm trying to go back to stock using the LG flash tool v1.8.1.1023. My computer sees the LG-E980 as com 41 but FlashTool doesn't see the phone and wont install the TOT. Re-installing the drivers had no affect.

I was rooted and had CM11 installed.

Any suggestions on what else I can try?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dude8370:
Hi everyone. M8 Verizon.

I'm on stock rooted on 4.4.3 S-Off. I noticed with this update they removed the ability to add APNs in addition to the Verizon one :confused:.

I travel to the middle east and usually swap SIM cards, selecting the corresponding APN, and it worked fine while on 4.4.2. On 4.4.3 I can edit the Verizon Apn to put the Vodafone apn for data to work, however the MMS part is blocked, and it won't let me enter anything.

Once I re-insert the Verizon APN I have to say Restore defaults for the Verizon APN to populate.

My question is, how can I get the feature back to add additional APNs? I use to be able to toggle through several.

* If you look at the attachment, where it says Reset to Default, there used to be a feature that Said "Add APN"

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] darkthugs:
sadly i have the same problem,i bought me one since they are GSM unlocked and are compatible with my carrier and i can't add my apn
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] darkthugs:
possible answer

i found one way to make them work,one bad thing it's that if you restart the phone you will have to do it again,but at least it's working again.

select the apn from verizon,the only field we can modify it's the APN

then enter the info from your carrier,for example :

fast.t-mobile.com in the case of t-mobile

vzwinternet in the case of verizon

as we know that field changes with our carrier but they just were some apn's i found on internet.

then save the apn,it worked on my GSM carrier again with 4G LTE.

i hope you get data again,let me know.
[Moto X Q&A] beefgoat:
I flashed all the way back to stock using fastboot and mfastboot to the 1053 4.4.3 firmware. When I tried to install the 4.4.4 OTA, I received the EMMC error. I'm using a 1053 on AT&T. Could it be that I had flashed the AT&T 4.4.4 then going back to 4.4.3 that could be causing the error?
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
Yes. Downgrade is a no no. Post all details.
[Moto X Q&A] beefgoat:
I was on stock 4.4.3 and flashed a pre-rooted 4.4.4 AT&T image in TWRP. I had read somewhere that the BL's were the same between the two versions. I didn't like the AT&T version, so I flashed back to 1053 4.4.3. The phone has been working just fine. Now, I can't upgrade to the 1053 4.4.4 OTA update. Should I just wait for the SBF file to become available?
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
A ROM flash doesn't equal a firmware downgrade. RSD going downward is the problem.

But once on a custom recovery you need to backup your virgin "rom" to save it for any future OTA!
[Moto X Q&A] beefgoat:
Well, dooks. I'll just wait for the sbf.
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
Today, while running with my son on a nature trail, a freak accident happened. The stroller hit a rock in such a way it launched my phone from a holding pouch into the air and onto the ground shattering the screen. (i run over 75 miles a month for the last two years, so never dreamed of this happening) I was devastated, especially since it's a month old and since i'm one NEXT i can't really afford an extra 200 bucks. I went onto the phoneclaim website and tried to file a claim, initially telling me my deductible was 199.99 but my g3 wasn't listed and it told me to call to file the claim.

So, I call the number, speak to someone. She asked me about the damage, and what accessories if any i was claiming. I told her just the phone, no accessories or sim card - since that stuff was in tact. After putting me on hold, she asked me about the color of the phone, repeated the LG G3, asked me to verify identity questions (which amounted to my street address) and said that my deductible was 50.00 which would be applied to my bill. Now, i said

"not that i'm complaining, but this is the 32gb white LG G3 we're talking about, correct? "

"she replies yes sir"

"I said not only did the at&t rep tell me 199.99 when i signed up for the insurance, but the website also told me 199.99 when i entered in my number"

"she said I wouldn't complain either sir, it states 50.00 here with 1-2 business days shipping"

So, what are the odds something bad is going to happen here?

Ie: the wrong phone replacement, not a phone at all, but like a battery or something... i dunno.

Just can't wrap my mind around everyone saying 199.99, then being told 50.00 for 600 phone. ....

should I be worried?
[AT&T LG G3] Storm T:
Did they send you a confirmation email? If not, call back with the case # and get them to email that to you.
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
They did, but all it states is that the claim is been received and being processed and a tracking number will be provided once it ships.
[AT&T LG G3] Storm T:
I'd imagine you're good to go at $50 since she told you that.
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
It's a good thing I went back to the site.

They had me for a replacement of the G3 VIGOR, not the G3 D850. When I called back, they asked me a ton more questions plus i have to sign an affidavit and send in a copy of my license. Then she told me an adjuster would call me and let me know if it would be replaced or not. She also said had i not called back i wouldn't have even gotten a new phone because the last person screwed up.

But, seriously... what am I paying insurance for if they will let me know about the replacement... i'm pretty sure we pay insurance for this exact issue.

I dunno, what a headache.
[AT&T LG G3] Storm T:
That sucks! I've replaced one that way before and I never had to give them a copy of my license? I'd sure be *****ing. Good luck!
[AT&T LG G3] petros855:
Unfortunately this happened to me a week after I had my phone. The deductible was 165$ & they tried to give me an lg g2. Luckily I called back and had it fixed. It was a quick yet expensive lesson. And yes, I had to do the same with my license and an affidavit. Hope it goes well for you.
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
No such luck for me. I've had my claim denied twice now. I've filled out three affidavits, sent in various pics of the phone and barcodes, license etc. I've mad a trip to the AT&T store all to no avail.

The reasoning is all very vague, like telling me my time of occurrence and date of last usage don't match, or that they've even tried telling me i don't own a G3 lol.

Worst experience ever...

I'll end up trying to contact LG and see if i can just get them to replace the screen for the 200 bucks it will cost or whatever.

sigh.
[AT&T LG G3] Craleb:
That's weird that they say your " time of occurrence and date of last usage don't match"

Are you rooted and did you remove lots of apps like carrierIQ?

Do you think they are just BSing you?

Lol this makes me want to cancel my insurance...

Sent from my LG G3
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
Now that you mention it. I am rooted, i removed the bloat and carrierIQ the day I got the phone.

I might just have to send my phone to LG for a screen repair and call it a day. I'll keep you all updated when they deny my claim again tomorrow lol.
[AT&T LG G3] t1n0m3n:
Insurance on anything that depreciates like a smart phone is a scam. I would never and have never gotten phone insurance. I keep one old phone at all times just in case this happens.
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
I would normally agree. I've only ever gotten insurance once, and it was for this phone. I also kept my galaxy s3 just in case this very thing happened. But, since i'm on the next program, i'll be damned if i'm paying 600.00+ for a phone that i can't use, even if it means i have to fork out extra for a replacement.

All that said, they actually approved my claim after several denials - nothing ever changed with the paperwork.

Now i just have to keep my fingers crossed that i get a new g3 replacement (or damn near like new referb). I hope it's not a heap of junk replacement like i've read in other stories about asurion.

Now, i've actually heard great first hand things about square trade insurance, cheaper payments, cheaper deductible, and no questions asked claims. some folks my wife and I work with use it and had nothing but good things to say about them, which is where i'll be headed to after my replacement.
[AT&T LG G3] t1n0m3n:
*Shrug* Whatever floats your boat. Cracked screen repair for the G3 is about $150 direct from LG. They are going to send the phone to LG to repair it. Probably at a volume discount. They probably make a ~$100 profit on the G3 every time someone uses their warranty. Every phone claim is a profit for the company. If it is not, then they deny the claim. This is why I call it a scam. You are paying them monthly for the privilege of maybe having to let them profit off of you.

Haven't heard of this before, this looks like much less of a scam than the Assurian BS scam.

Interesting! Thanks for mentioning it.

[AT&T LG G3] AsurionCares:
Hi st0nez0r,

We’re glad to hear that ultimately we were able to get this resolved and a replacement device is on its way to you! This is not a typical experience and we’d hate to lose a valued customer. While we understand that paperwork is never fun we have the affidavit process in place for your protection. This helps prevent fraudulent claims against your account and helps keep premiums from rising. We recognize the cost associated with replacing a device which is why it’s our goal to help our customers save money while also getting them reconnected quickly should they experience a covered loss. In addition to covering physical damage, we also cover liquid damage, loss and theft; where most do not.

While we do use both new and certified-like new devices, keep in mind, all replacements come with a 12 month limited warranty. Should you experience any warranty failure, we’ll replace the phone at no additional cost.

We appreciate you sharing your experience, as it helps us to improve the services that we offer. Please let us know if you have any other questions or if we can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

Asurion Social Media Team @AsurionCares

[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
This was quite unexpected but appreciated.

Honestly, In terms of cellphones, dealing with Asurion was one of the worse experience I've ever had in the history of owning a cell phone. While I understand the need for paperwork and whatever various methods you use to combat insurance fraud,

beyond those measures is where I had the real problems:

Dealing with rude/obnoxious customer support representatives (just one, but one too many.)

The run around game. Sending me to an AT&T store to obtain info, then to be belittled by another rep for doing what I was initially asked to do. (referring to the same rep as above)

Lack of information and communication during the process. In some cases I didn't get a call or email explaining why my claims were initially canceled. I had to call back for that info.

The website is not all that great either. one example would be filling in your first/last name, phone number, email, and social just for an update. How about a tracking number process or something.

No option to contact/talk to support after paperwork is submitted for review. If you have questions/problems you can't speak to anyone during that process. You're greeted with a phone message stating your stuff is under review and that you'll be contacted. then hangs up on you. I guess this is in place so work can actually get accomplished without being overwhelmed by calls, but still...

In the end I did receive a brand new replacement device. The return process was also a snap.

I've learned my lesson at any rate. I invested the extra money in a spigen slim armor case and tempered glass protector.

Thanks for replying to this post.
[AT&T LG G3] JCred:
I almost had a similar experience with Asurion, but ultimately a good one. It all started with initiating my claim over the phone, just to discover no record of my claim upon following-up. The follow-up rep offered to resubmit or direct me to the website, where I'd be able to print documents required and receive confirmation/ updates upon successful submission.

After downloading, printing and competing the affidavit, I was able to scan and upload, along with my ID. This took less than 15 minutes.

I had a brand new phone, shipped from AT&T within a couple days. I've been a wireless dealer, and the Asurion representative's explanation about hurdles preventing fraud are entirely valid. The $200 deductible + my first monthly premium is not a scam- they ate maximum money on my claim, particularly as my replacement was NOT refurbished. I'm still only paying AT&T for one phone. Asurion bought the majority of the other. My deductible will be used to minimize the loss, likely through repair and reuse for a future claim. Loss/theft is an even bigger loser. Their money is made from premium revenue that exceeds claims expenses.

While it sounds like they could tighten up their call centers, if Asurion has replaced your $600 phone, they've certainly not robbed you.
[AT&T LG G3] eortizr:
This is why I never use the carrier insurance it sucks and the more the customer service... All my devices I always go with SquareTrade, only $5.00 a month and $75.00 deductible.

Hello,

does anybody know how to programm the GPS Modul?

I tried to change GGA to 1.

Can somebody help me?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] spinzolone:
Have a look here ...

www.franson.com They sell a module which you can easily program to with visual basic. They demo programs work without a modification. With Visual Studio you can start programming in a hour or so, after having had a look at the samples.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] CouchPotato:
I think meer wants to adjust the SIRF-III-Chipset, which is used in the Orbit.

Most tools "Sirfdemo" etc. wont work on the Orbit. :-(

I'm searching for a tool which can toggle SN (Static Navigation) off on this device.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] GeenZ:
Hi,

I tried almost everything to program the internal GPS receiver of my P3300, but did not succeed :-(

First, I tried to get direct access to the hardware GPS port (COM 3), but failed to open this by any way. Eventually, I even sent my device into the Boot-Loader mode, redirected the GPS receiver to the USB port by using the GPSRouting command and connected via USB the SirfDemo 3.81 program. Results were very strange:

Using GPSRouting without a parameter gave me binary output data which SirfDemo was not able to handle.

Starting the the receiver at 57600 baud (by using the command "GPSRouting 57600" gave me NMEA output, which SirfDemo was partly able to handle. Some messages appeared correctly in the debug window, but most output of the GPS receiver resulted in SirfDemo in error messages. Really stranges!

I DID NOT FIND ANY WAY TO SWITCH TO SIRF MODE, which is necessary to program the internal sirfIII chipset.

I finally gave up and hope that one day HTC will surprise us with a nice tool to enable/disable Static Navigation and SBAS mode.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Have you tried using COM4 which is where the actual GPS receiver can be found? - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] GeenZ:
Of course, trying to use COM4 was my first attempt.

However, COM4 is the output port of the MS GPS Intermediate Driver (GID). This is a software com port, which seems to be not the best implementation of a virtual comport splitter. There are a couple of programs out there, which have serious problems with the GID port, but do work with other (better) virtual comport splitter such as GPSGate.

Anyway, trying to program the internal GPS via the GID port did not work at all. That's why I was next trying to get direct access to the hardware GPS port (COM3), which did not work either, before I bravely sent my device into boot loader mode (unfortunately with also no success)...

Any other hints or suggestion are still highly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Young S6310] charleyspain:
Hi All, apologies if this is the wrong forum.

I have bought this phone and reasonably happy with it however there is something that you guys might be able to help with. The call screen has this irritating thing called a padlock which needs to be double tapped to either end or make a call. While this is arguably useful it does prevent me from fully enjoying this phone.

Is there a way to disable the padlock for making a call or ending a call, maybe a third party app or something.

Also is this phone rootable if so can someone provide details or links.

Thanks in advance.
[Moto X General] jaykresge:
Note to moderators: Due to the content, I believe this warrants its own thread. We have a separate thread for the OTA (for manual download), and a separate thread dealing with The X/G/E 4.4.4 rollout as a whole, which has long since devolved from there. I didn't see any release notes for our specific update posted, other than the false and regurgitated 4.4.3/4 hybrid notes for carriers. If you still feel that this post should be rolled into one of those separate threads, I can respect that.

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/100863

As expected, it's primarily just an OpenSSL security fix, though there are other hinted enhancements, likely bug fixes to any of Motorola's under the hood differences from AOSP.

I know that there were many people who were concerned with the delay in this update. It's because Android 4.4.4 wasn't really needed for our device, just as not all Nexus devices got 2.3.7 or 4.3.1 (device-specific changes).

The actual AOSP changes from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 was literally one OpenSSL security fix. HTC backported this fix to their 4.4.3 software, hence why they're not rolling out 4.4.4 on their devices. Google also made changes to Google Play Services to mitigate this security issue, so any device from Android 2.3 to the present has this fix (to a degree, see * for details) with or without Android 4.4.4.

So, why did Motorola update the carrier variants to 4.4.4 ahead of the unlocked and developer editions? The unlocked/developer editions got 4.4.3 while most of the carrier variants were still on 4.4.2. Moto's 4.4.3 update provided new features for the Moto X such as pause while video recording, as well as the new Android dialer and some camera enhancements. By the time that 4.4.4 was released, most carriers delayed their update to have this security fix incorporated, while the unlocked/developer edition models were already good to go.

Most of the carrier-branded 4.4.4 variants have a Motorola software version beginning with 212, but this variant got 213. So it's likely that this update has some other Moto changes that will eventually filter out to the carriers, or be incorporated into their L-updates.

*This security fix plugs a security hole. The update to Google Play Services acts more like an anti-virus. It does two things. First, it prevents the upload of apps to the Play Store that would exploit this loophole, and it scans your devices side-loaded apps (if enabled by the user) for apps that use this. Basically, if you have Google Play services installed and up to date, you cannot be affected by this bug. If you're running a pure AOSP-based OS modified on a Chinese handset without Google Play Services, then you need 4.4.4 to avoid this security issue.

If it's not a major update, I'd rather wait for the next major release (L?), instead of doing all the revert to stock - reroot procedure.

Is there a way I can stop getting the OTA notifications? They are really intrusive, and it wants to install itself, but I don't see any options to not get it.

You can freeze the OTA apk its called something like moto ota or Motorola ota
