Back to official Sense from

what

?

It makes a big difference depending on what you are talking about:

- custom Sense ROM or GPE ROM

- or "fully converted" to GPE using RUU

And why do you "need" to relock the bootloader? To run RUU (with s-on), warranty service, or selling the device are the only reasons, if you ask me.

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

The method of returning to Sense depends on what condition the phone is in now (custom Sense ROM? Custom GPE ROM? GPE full conversion?), as as I indicated above, its not clear from the user's post.

As for relocking the bootloader, I'm not sure where you got that notion, as its completely false. You can make the bootloader RELOCKED with a single fastboot command: fastboot oem lock

Or you can even make it say LOCKED, although s-off is required to do so.

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

Its just the software number on which your current ROM is based. It won't change due to SUPERCID or flashing the modified hboot. You must have flashed a ROM in order to change the OS number.

4.20 isn't necessarily that different (or "better") than 4.16. They may just have different carrier/region customizations. If you flashed a custom ROM, the OS number (4.16 vs. 4.20) is somewhat irrelevant, it is what it is. If stock, it depends on what carrier/region you are, and what you intent is (if you want OTA, etc.).

Hi guys, i need help. I am on rooted android 5.0.1 and software number 4.16.709.9 I can see an update but am having some trouble. I already flashed the stock recovery from the ota package. It is supposed to be able to install the ota, since TWRP can't. The error I am encountering now is "libart-compiler.so has unexpected contet" what should i do next?

Could it be the xposed installer that causes this?

htc one m8 bought from dubai...

Hello friends,

Before anything I must tell you guys that I have switched from a normal iphone to android and I have never been into jailbreaking ios or anything. I have always kept the stock versions and the updates provided by the companies.

I have just bought a new htc one m8 from dubai 2 days back...I live in India so I started using it when I came back to India Yesterday...I set the phone up and started using it. I bought this HTC as one of my frnd had one and he told me that it was a really nice phone to have at it is fast and do the daily jobs with ease.

I started using the phone and immediately notice two issues..first one was I was trying to set up google drive but I wasn't able to get the offered free 65 Gb and I got a message saying that the device cannot be verified please contact htc for support. Second issue and the main reason due to which I am writing here that I faced is that the phone is running on android 4.4.2 and is not updating to android lollipop when other phones were updating. For this I contacted HTC and after giving them my Imei no. I got to know that my phone was meant to be for germany I should contact HTC support there.

I did contacted HTC support Germany & was shocked to know that my phone was rooted that is why it wasn't updating. But how can be a brand new phone with warranty and everything be rooted? Is it possible?

I checked it on my own after reading some tutorials regarding how to check if the phone is rooted or not. I did that by using connect bot and root checker basics & it confirmed that the phone was rooted.

I thought that I should revert it to stock recovery and get the update after again watching some tutorial videos on youtube but then I found out that my CID is TMOB-101. Now I am afraid if I do a factory reset or get a stock recovery my phone sim connection will be again locked to Tmobile Only. I really have no Idea regarding this. I just wanted a stock phone which can be updated via regular OTA's and is not modified.

Guys please help me as I feel I have been cheated and given a used phone in the price of a new one. Should I try and call the shop where I got it from & return it for a new one or is there any way in which I can turn it back into a regular stock phone and my phone is not locked to Tmobile & my warranty guarantee still remains void.

I am attaching images of my phone details bootloader which confirms it has been modified.

Please help guys.....I am new to android so I had to write the whole experience.

Thanks

htc one m 8 bought from dubai..

FYI there is no app such as supercid on my phone..also when i checked my phone internal mem i couldn't locate or see any folder by name of the TWRP or any other custom rom....it seems all normal there...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
All evidence points to it being a used phone. Its verified rooted by the apps you tried, plus the bootloader screen says the bootloader is unlocked, and the software is modified. All these things are not in their "factory" condition, and can only be made so by a previous owner tampering with the phone.

Neither factory reset, nor stock recovery will lock the SIM again. But my advice would be to not mess with any such mods on the phone, and return the phone to the seller for a refund or exchange. Its pretty clear the phone is not as described (new) and as you mentioned, may have a voided warranty.

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

I think you mean SuperSU, not SuperCID (no such app). But it doesn't matter, all of those things can be changed or deleted to "look" like stock condition by the previous owner.

Because I've got an Australian HTC One M8 Factory Unlocked but every time I check the software update in the options nothing appears and I'm stuck with the Android 4.4.4

Thanks a lot mate for the all the info and help..!

Just one more thing, As now I would definitely be returning the phone back for exchanging it with a new one as I paid for a Brand new phone therefore I would be needing to delete all my data that I have transferred from my Iphone i.e. All photos, contacts, emails whatsapp viber data etc. Will the phone be okay if I factory reset it? will all the data be erased because I don't want to leave any of my data on the phone and at the same time I don't want to give any excuse to the dealer for not accepting and exchanging the phone.

So my question it should I manually go through it and delete every app and data I had put in the phone one by one or should I just factory reset it?

Thanks in advance

Why does my HTC One M8 Dotview Cover show a text notification when I have no texts?

Ever since I updated to the new Lollipop version of Android, I seem to get false notifications on the dotview cover to say I have a text. It happens when I hit the button on the top left of the phone and the sms notification appears on the cover. A colleague of mine has the same phone and has started experiencing the same thing. We've both googled for solutions but no joy.... Any help appreciated!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Factory reset should be fine. Might depend on the build (based on reports by others), but when you pick the option to factory reset in Settings, it should give you the option to pick what you want to erase (user data, internal storage, etc.) and you will probably want to pick all the options. Remove your SD card before formatting, if you have one and want to save that data (can't remember if that is one of the options, but remove it just in case).

So didn't want to start a new thread since this thread seems to be fine to ask on so here goes:

Basically, I baught a htc one m8, normal editiong not gpe, and It has viper rom, the kitkat version not lollipop, so my question is, how do I go about going back to stock to update the firmware, then coming back to the new lollipop edition viper rom? I had a look around the forum but the steps seem slightly unclear for a newbie like me. The other question is, I have twrp installed, if I was to make a backup of the current kitkat viper rom version, would I be able to go back to it if I disliked the lollipop viper rom version? or is that no longer possible if I update the firmware and that? If it helps, I also have s-on? and when the phone starts I get the red text at the bottom of the splash screen.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
1) Backup any important personal data, just in case.

2) Restore the stock Kitkat ROM nandroid you made; or if you didn't make one, find it for your CID here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

Place the downloaded nandroid to the proper location and restore with TWRP.

3) Restore the stock recovery corresponding to your stock ROM from the thread linked in Step 1.

4) Check for updates, and update to current Lollipop firmware.

5) After updates are complete, install TWRP again and install your desired LP custom ROM.

Yes, you can make a TWRP nandroid of your current Viper (KitKat) setup. However, it may or may not run 100% correctly when you are on LP firmware. I think reports on here are pretty decent that KK ROMs work okay with LP firmware. But that's not guarantee, and unless you are s-off, you can't "downgrade" back to Kitkat firmware. Just be aware of that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramo55:
Thanks for the reply, quick question, so if I upgrade to LP, I can not go back to kitkat unless I have s-off?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I already covered that in my last response. You can't revert to KitKat firmware (after updating to LP firmware). However, KitKat ROMs may work fine anyway. Some folks have found KitKat ROM + LP firmware = okay. The reverse is not true (LP ROM with KK firmware) and usually results in major issues (extreme long boot times, broken WiFi, etc.).

So using a KitKat ROM

may

work. But if it doesn't you'll need to go back to a LP ROM. Or s-off to downgrade to KK firmware (if you want to keep KK ROM).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Main version being blank is a common bug caused by older TWRP builds. Its also largely irrelevant, as once you've flashed a custom ROM, the main version no longer tells you the stock ROM number, but rather just the ROM on which your custom ROM is based.

Based on your hboot and radio numbers (and that is really what you need to look at), it looks like your firmware is from the 2.xx software update, so look for that software number "series" under your CID on the stock nandroid thread.

Version number being blank is a common issue, and usually due to an older version of TWRP. Its also irrelavent, as once you have flashed a custom ROM, the main version number just tells you the software the custom ROM is based on,

not

your firmware version.

You have to look at the hboot and radio numbers, to reliably determine the firmware number.

But if you were running 4.4.3 before, and never officially updated to 4.4.4 or 5.0; its pretty much a certainty that your firmware is old, and needs to be updated in order to run the current Viper.

Sounds like you just need to relock the bootloader and run the RUU for your CID.

Or alternately, since it sounds like all you did was flash a custom ROM (did not "fully convert" to GPE) than just restore a stock nandroid.

I believe everything on internal storage will be wiped (if you select that option), including the TWRP folder.

You can either just copy that folder to your computer, than drag/copy it back to internal storage after the wipe.

Or after the wipe, just make a "dummy" TWRP backup (for example, just select to backup the boot partition) and TWRP will create the folder again.

Instead of wipe cache + data + internal storage - I would choose to do format data - which usually fix many issues in regards to data partition.

In WIPE menu - select Format data - type YES then go to reboot menu select recovery (to reboot to recovery) then the TWRP folder will be created by TWRP itself.

Of course you need to transfer your backup to PC first (when the backup is on internal storage, unless it is on ext_sd that's different scenario)
