[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
It isn't merely a matter of right or wrong, though it is certainly that as well. Every time someone pulls a stunt like this, we all suffer. Samsung used to make the most open phones on the market, and I'm not even talking purely about Android. I was able to sideload Java apps onto my Flight II long before I could afford a smart phone. I have a nearly unbrickable Galaxy S2. You can use Odin to write to practically any memory on the device. Getting root on that phone was as easy as pushing CWM, booting it, and rooting it.

Now? You can't even get root on an S4 or S5 without cracking the security software, and front and center is the Knox warranty validation counter to watch you. Why is it there? Because of mess like this.

It is one thing to complain about an unrelated hardware problem not being covered because you are S-off or boot loader unlocked. I would be ticked if I couldn't get my camera, hardware buttons, or screen replaced because of that. However, to brick a phone and try to get it replaced for free? Nope, you rolled the dice, you take the cards. Otherwise, don't complain when HTC starts encrypting the boot loader and HTCdev goes away. These are literally some of the last flagship phones on the market that are still "open".

Hello.

not because of laziness.

Because of the weakness of my english.

I'd read about the problem until now were the same.

does not turn on.

can not be charged.

Can not access recovery menu etc etc.

It was when formatting the SD card.

I've written more than size when formatting section.

I think the reason you do not like writing long.

but again, thank you for responding.

Thank you.

But no one ask for your opinion obviously so u can keep it for u and thread is just for information purposes so I just take risks and I been lucky enough to get new phone obviously HTC could just charge me for repair I did not ask them for new phone
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not sure what you are trying to say with that last line, but giving the

as much specific information and detail as possible

is always going to be better when asking for help. Its these seemingly minor details that often times differentiate one problem for another, and therefore the solution (if there is one).

I understand that English is not your first language. But if you want help here (English language forum), you are going to just have to try a little harder than a native English speaker; and we will try to work with you and help you as much as possible.

How exactly did you format the SD card? Do you mean the internal storage (not removable SD)?

If you somehow wrote over the hboot partition or partition table, you aren't going to be able to recovery except by JTAG service.

This thread has served its purpose and so I'm closing it. We do not encourage anyone to defraud a phone manufacturer. Knowing the great company that HTC is, they probably would have replaced the phone anyway.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S M G:
Howdy guys,

So i ordered a second OPO for my brother the other day, and since we reside in South-Africa i had to make use of MyUS.com to forward the package to me. Been using them for years now.

Here's the deal, yesterday my tracking status was updated to "Shipment on hold" and if you expand it for further details it says:

"The shipment is awaiting the next scheduled movement, The shipment will be processed in the next available movement"

I then called DHL South-Africa and they told me that there's nothing to worry about, and that the item is on its way from JFK NYC to OR JHB. That was yesterday. So today i called DHL USA and they gave me a completely different story, they told me the package is being held in NY because import tax hasn't been payed...BUT IT HAS! I paid $130 import tax (I know i know) and emailed proof thereof to DHL South-Africa. So i then called DHL South-Africa again, spoke to someone else, and he said that the packaage left JFK today @ 11:40 US time. So who do i believe ? Is my package actually en-route to JHB South-Africa as im typing this or what, there seems to be a serious lack in comms between DHL USA and DHL RSA.

Any input, similar experiences ?

Here a screenshot of the tracking status as of 21:48 (GMT +2) time:

[IMG="SHL Shipment on hold"]https://db.tt/meODmP6L[/IMG]

UPDATE:

Eventually emailed proof of import taxes to DHL USA and they released the package from JFK NYC and its currently in JHB RSA en-route to me.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhaces:
Hey All, I got the OTA (I have it in /cache in my phone so no need to download anything) in my Stock 33R with root, franco 23R and TWRP. When trying to install the OTA, I'm getting a "Can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset" error. I've followed Franco's post on how to install this OTA (https://plus.google.com/106873500108976028532/posts/ByvTAonR6mH) and I have even flashed the backed-up kernel and still same issue. One more thing I did was remove supersu.apk from /system/apps/ just to make sure that was not the case. I've read about the modified OTA, however not sure why I would need any modified so I want to see if this can be done with the unmodified 38R

Anyone can help?

UPDATE: I was able to make it work, see comment #12
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You need to go back to being completely stock. Perform a full wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik cache) and flash the recovery flashable version of 33R from here, Then you can flash the update.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhaces:
Thanks, but there has to be other way that would not require wiping data... that is not acceptable

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhaces:
In your original post you mention "Perform a full wipe (system/data/cache/dalvik cache)", that will factory reset my phone (except /sdcard), that is what I want to avoid.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You don't really have a choice. Why is it an issue? Just use Titanium to backup your apps and restore them again once you've updated. The only thing you'll have to do again is your system settings.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhaces:
I've had plenty of issues throughout the years with Titanium, which makes me not to trust it fully, it will consume a lot of time to fully backup and fully restore, and, most important, I really hate that I need to wipe and re-flash stock if I'm in stock (with a few modifications which can be all undone)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokocabana:
Follow vomer's guide here. It just bring your rom back to stock and leaves user data untouched. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55882576&postcount=229
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
There's nothing wrong with Titanium if you know how to use it. Unless you're restoring system data (which you shouldn't be) it's perfectly solid. And the thing is, you're not stock, those modifications you've made mean that you're not stock, so it's completely normal that you'd have issues with updating. You can moan about it all you like but it doesn't change the fact that you need to wipe.

Transmitted via Bacon
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuckMcQUack:
What he said.

You can't apply an OTA update if u have a custom kernel installed.

Just go back stock and apply updates until the latest version. If u use titanium properly you will not have any issue, just backup user apps without system settings.

Any other turnaround can cause havoc.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhaces:
Well, It looks like you really don't need to wipe data (see, I told you it was ludicrous), I tried following both this and this, but did not helped (however both gave me ideas), here's what I did:

Fastboot flash boot system and recovery from 33R, boot into system, apply the OTA from the system (I'm now in an unrooted-unmodified stock 33R) and now that worked. Booted into newly installed 38R and everything worked ok, so went back to fastboot, flashed TWRP, went into TWRP and installed supersu and franco 24r and now things seem to be ok.

Thanks for all the help

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FluffyMittens:
First off, an eternally grateful thanks to [MENTION=2614663]shabbypenguin[/MENTION] for compiling what seems to be the missing link to flashing a custom recovery. Please direct all thanks to him. Check out his profile for a donation link!

Disclaimer:

As with anything non stock, only you are responsible if something goes wrong.

These are the steps I used for my Sprint Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and it worked for me.

It may not work for you.

I cannot provide support in case anything goes wrong.

There are virtually NO ROMS out that I'm aware of that are able to work with Sprint service. My tab is out of contract so I'm going to be working on loading wifi only ROMS.

Backup your shizzle. Expect to lose data and you won't be caught off guard.

MultiPart:

Install CWM

Compatable ROM information

Requirements:

Appropriate Samsung Drivers

ODIN

The shabbypenguin magical image. [MENTION=2614663]shabbypenguin[/MENTION]

ATT Espresso ChildOfTheHorm clockwork recovery

Root. Cydia Impactor works on this tablet to root it. Install SuperSU and Busybox off the market once it's rooted.

Optional (Recommended):

Stock Recovery Image..

Return to Stock Thread for a just in case scenario.

Steps:

Make sure drivers are installed and ADB can see your tab.

Reboot into download mode by either typing "adb reboot download" or by holding volume down & power when the device is off.

Open ODIN. Usually do this with administration privelages to negate any shennanigins.

Device should show up on the top left. Click AP / PDA and select "espresso10spr-cwm-test1.tar". Don't click start yet!

Get ready to hold volume up. Auto Reboot is selected by default. Don't click Start yet! When the flash is done the tablet will reboot. You want to go into the recovery on the first reboot or the flash may not take.

Get ready to hold volume +, press Start. When the tablet turns off, HOLD volume +. It will say booting recovery, act like it took, and turn off. This is the voodoo feature of the ShabbyPenguin file.

Turn the device back on, and reboot into download mode again. This time selecting the "cwm_recovery_espresso10att_childofthehorn.tar.md5" file. Same thing, get ready to hold the Volume + button when the tablet reboots.

Viola. Violin. Vegasaurious Rex. Clockwork should boot. At least it did for mine.

If anything goes wrong, there's a link in the optional list to revert your tablet back to stock. As well as the RECOVERY ONLY stock image you can flash with ODIN.

Some footnotes, sometimes with my tablet it doesn't like to turn on after a failed flash. A workaround for this is to hold the power for around 3-5 seconds, wait one second, and then hold Volume -. You should be presented with an option to go to download mode or restart the tablet. Select restart the tablet to get it working again.

It could just be apps that are running in the background that you installed.

Recently bought a 2GB SD memory card for the above phone however upon trying to download music onto it it says there is no card present? I assume the card is simply inserted into the slot and it should automatically be recognised by the phone or is there something else that needs to be carried out before it is recognised?

I have formatted the card.

Do you think I have I bought a faulty card.
