Let me know how it goes for you [MENTION=5380663]thepar[/MENTION]. I expect to be updating to kitkat in the coming week.

For the benefit of those searching the forums to unlock their phones my experience may be of help to those on 4.1.2 or possibly even MJ2. I have had my SGS3 since June 2013 and only allowed one update, that was to 4.1.2. My phone was rooted long ago, but I just unlocked it earlier today and that was with a custom recovery in place and without unrooting. In my case I did not revert to the 4.1.1 rom. I did downgrade the modem to dlk3, that of 4.1.1 while leaving the rom and bootloader at MG2. After completing the unlock I upgraded the modem back to MG2. I have confirmed that SMS, MMS, phone, and wifi functionality is intact.

In truth, I will probably not go back to stock to get to kitkat. I am considering upgrading to the leaked MJ2/4.3 bootloader and MJB modem and then flash a kitkat rom which will work on them, there are several.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thepar:
I just did the unlock yesterday. I need to find someone with a t-mobile sim to test if the unlock worked. Will I still be able to update the OS even though it is on rooted stock? What will it update me too?

I am kind of debating if I should install a custom rom minus KNOX.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
If you want to run an OTA update, you need stock recovery and an unrooted system.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thepar:
I have a stock recovery but the os is rooted. I don't mind using oden to update the os. I might be better to install a rom with knox removed. I can't seem to find 4.1.1 stock unrooted. I did find 4.0.1 ICS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can find a stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM on sammobile.com.

You cannot use Odin to flash a stock KK ROM because it was never released in an Odin format by ATT. ATT provided the KK update via OTA updates. Complete KK updates were provided for i747m only.

I have decided to go custom rom route. It is better to update stock ota first then install custom rom or custom rom straight from 4.1.1?

This is really impresive. I suppose h265 is out of the question though? Maybe there is hardware decoder for it though? My FireTV struggles with h265 unfortunately, would be nice to have something mobile that plays it...

It has h265 decoder but not encoder.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabquer:
Hello guys !

So i will try to keep this short but i have to give you all the details regarding my problem. I was an iOS user for almost 4 years but now i switched to Android. I currently own an HTC One M7 (since july 2014). The phone was brand new and came with android 4.4.2 installed. Recently (2 weeks ago) i updated my phone to 4.4.3. Everything was just perfect. But then i found out about rooting and all the endless modifications so i said i should give it a try. I rooted my phone (and unlocked the bootloader) and installed TWRP 2.6.3.0. Now it gets a little bit more complicated. I tried to turn the S-OFF but couldnt do it and entered in TWRP (by mistake i guess) . From there i had the urge (again i made a mistake) to format everything and i formated even the OS. Thing is after that my phone was bricked. Couldn't connect it to the computer (Linux or windows no matter what i tried the phone wasn't recognised by any PC). So i grabbed an OTG cable and managed to install an operating system named "Guru_Reset_M7_2.24.161.1.zip" from an RUU collection . So i finally managed to install an OS onto my phone and i was happy that my phone wasn't bricked anymore. But then i realised i downgraded to 4.2.2 and the OS is pretty crappy. Besides the WIFI is not working properly all the time , the camera doesn't start and cannot update to 4.4.3 . I have to mention that i don't have any recovery saved or backup. Now i tried to lock the bootloader and gain the S-OFF again but couldn't do it. The thing is i can't enter in recovery , i can't install a custom ROM on my phone and cannot update to the latest (4.4.3) stock htc one android. I need your help because i don't know what to do anymore. I tried to gain S-OFF with rumrunner , moonshide and revone and still no luck. My phone is now recognized by my PC and i can enter the adb devices from command prompt so i guess that is a good thing. But the bad thing is that i can't enter in recovery (it just gives me a black screen with a red triangle and an exclamation sign). I am pretty much a noob but i learned alot about android in the last 3 days. Please help me because i don't know what to do anymore i feel drained exhausted and sad. I just want a normal OS that can run properly on my phone and use my camera and WIFI at maximum proficency (as intended). If i can't run a custom ROM at least help me to revert back to stock and get updates for my OS. Thank you for listening !!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5444902:
That's difficult.

The correct way would be to go S-Off and do a RUU.

But it seems you cannot get S-Off. Did you install the latest HTC Drivers and latest adb and fastboot version?

And your CID would be helpful too.

You can get it with this app: Simple CID Getter
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5444902:
Did you uninstall HTC Sync Manager after installing it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabquer:
No ! Should i do that?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5444902:
Yes, you should do that. Then try to get S-OFF again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabquer:
​

Unfortunately that did not work. I am still S-ON .
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLizm:
If all you need is a custom recovery so you can flash a 4.4.2 rom then I suggest just doing so. Pretty sure ViperOne 6.2 is 4.4.2 and works wonderfully, 7.x is a different story. I have seen a lot of issues with folks attempting s-off on hboot 1.57. If your goal is functionality I suggest reading up on TWRP 2.7.1.1 (seems to work best with ViperOne) and then getting yourself a ViperOne 6.2 from the previous version on their thread.

Was reading OP again, if you had 4.4.3 working fine there is no reason you can't just flash the viper 7.1 or any other 4.4.3 rom. If you formatted you recovery partition you just need to fastboot another one in there. Unless I am missing something?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabquer:
I finally managed to repair the recovery (i reinstalled TWRP recovery again as if the phone was not rooted) and now it's working. Still need to turn the S-OFF (im S-ON right now) but i can't do it. If you know a ROM that does not require to have S-OFF then please tell me. Thanks in advance
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLizm:
No "rom" requires s-off. I personally use ViperOne 7x on my 4.4.3.

Edit: You can try CM11, I did not like the feel of CM or PAC or any AOSP Rom on my M7, this is only a personal preference, they work. You mentioned the camera, For this I suggest staying on a more stock rom like ViperOne or any other for that matter per the camera on the AOSP is not tip top, functional, but seen better days.

Honestly, you can not do much harm so flash and flash away until you find one you like and that meets your needs. Just take care when formatting any partitions the only three you need worry about really is cache, data and system <-- this ones your rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabquer:
I downloaded ViperOne and attempted to install it. After extracting the files in twrp installer to 100% it gave the message that some elements have failed. Now the phone boots only in TWRP recovery. that's horrible. I am now installing the old guru OS that i previously had.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLizm:
Didn't say what failed did it? You might want to try using recovery to format you system, cache and data.. Sounds like you have had a rough time with it and there could be some garbage left behind.

Edit: When you say extracting.... Are you choosing to install the zip and going through the Aroma installer prompts?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tabquer:
Yeah i was going through the aroma installer and hit next next (selected all the apps i needed) and then i hit install . Then it says that the files are extracting and i have to be patient (because it will take like 10 minutes). and after the extracting was completed (showing 100% ) it said that something something failed. And i rebooted the device but i was surprised to see that the phone went into the recovery mode (the old OS dissapeared or couldnt boot it) and i had to reinstall the old guru OS. This os is friggin garbage. Camera still wont work and wifi is still crappy. I tried to install CM11 (before trying the viperone) but couldn't load it. Dont know why but it failed from the beggining of the install. Maybe is something wrong with the kernel (i have no idea what that is and what to do to change it - or if i should ).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stovie_steve:
First thing, the reason that viperone didn't install was because of the version of TWRP you are using. You need to use the latest version for it to work

Secondly, CM11 does not flash at all in TWRP. You need to use CWM recovery (Google it and you will find the recovery file to flash).

To achieve s off is difficult on hboot 1.57 - some users have reported success with various methods. One namely installing CM11 and running firewater. If you get a Whelp this sucks message nothing you can do other than using sunshine app (Google root ninja). This will cost you $25 but honestly, with all the hard work these guys put it to make obtaining s off so easy it's worth it. Plus to restore your phone back to working order again!

For sunshine to work you need a stock(ish) ROM like ARHD/ViperOne and run the app. It checks the phone to make sure it'll work then redirect you to pay for the app. Good luck!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrLizm:
Well.. when you flash your custom it comes with a boot.img which is your kernel so it can't really be that. Kinda makes wonder, you can flash the 4.2.2 which won't match the current installed firmware and is why your camera,WiFi,mms and who knows what countless other things don't work. But fails to install the others... What variant are you?

Edit: That information in the OP did you get it from "fastboot getvar all"? if not can you post one of those here, dont need serial or IEMI

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkolner:
I just moved from the Sensation XE to the M8. The Sensation has a SD Card and the internal memory and no emulated SD Card.

So how do you control where the apps stored their data?

Is the SD card only for data (music, pictures and storage), and the emulated SD card in the internale memory for app data and such?

And finaly, where do you guys keep your nandroids - emulated SD Card og SD Card?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That's pretty much it. The internal memory is essentially an emulated SD card. App data, backups are going to be saved there by default. Nothing is going to be saved to the removable SD unless you take a specific action to do so.

I keep mine on the internal storage. Not even sure recovery will allow you to read/write a nandroid on the removable SD (although you can manually copy or move if you wanted).

But I normally just keep the latest known good nandroid on the phone, and move others to my computer "just in case".

Even with ROM zips, some folks have had issues with recovery (at least TWRP) not consistently recognizing the zip on the removable SD; even though you should be able to browse and find zips on either the internal memory or removable SD. It seems safest/easiest to have the ROM zip on the internal memory (or at least know how to adb push it there).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkolner:
So when you flash a new custom rom, is the emulated SD Card left alone or is it also wiped?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
Usually left alone, but there is a buggy TWRP, possibly official 2.8.0.2, that has wiped cards, if I have followed correctly.

TWRP can write backups to external card and read from there too. That's what I do.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Good to know, I was wondering exactly that.

Hi all,

I have a rooted "g'Five President G9(Android 4.2.1)" smartphone. I'm facing a strange problem:

If I turn my wifi+bluetooth off and touch anywhere on screen, its display disappears and shows a very dim grey screen. Then until and unless I don't turn my BT/wifi on again, its display won't get back to the normal state(shows a grey screen). When that grey screen appears, I still receive notifications for calls and messages. Even I can respond to calls because I have an estimate about where to touch to answer it. I can also lock/unlock phone thorough that grey screen (which means mobile is not stuck). I have tried restarting phone, but in vain. Please provide some help in this regard.

I can use my phone easily if its wifi/BT is on(but it drains battery with a vigorous pace). I haven't performed any tricks with my device in recent months and I'm facing this problem since last week.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Yeah, I was hoping Root Cloak would work as well, that was my first issue. I actually stumbled upon a thread that said it wasn't a root issue, just an Xposed issue, which I didn't realize for the past like 2 years! That's how I found the Xposed fix for it. I even e-mailed the developer of Root Cloak to please include Optimum but I think it's two different things that are triggering the Optimum error.
