Hey guys,

I know this has probably been asked to death and back but I can't seem to find an answer. I have just restored my phone to stock using a full backup I made with TWRP, I made the backup without actually flashing TWRP permanently to my device so I assume the backup has the files I need to restore my stock recovery. Is this correct or do I need to restore it another way? If so how and where do I find the file I need? :confused:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzeem2010:
HTC M8, Rooted & S-Off. *ATT branded. *Stock, but currently with latest TWRP custom recovery. Have recent nandroid. Fairly comfortable with ADB & Fastboot commands..

So, I've tried just about anything I can think of, including all the stuff I can search for on here and on the web, and I'm stumped.

Has anyone been able to get write protection removed from external SD card?

The only way I'm able to add ANYTHING to my phone (internal only) memory is by loading music files (for example) into google drive, then

downloading them into internal memory but only to internal memory. If I try to transfer to external, reboot, they disappear from the target.

The same thing also happens when I try to download audio books from audible.com.

I've tried the zip referenced in the external sd card fix thread, I've tried SDfix app on google play, I've pulled the microsd out of my phone and added stuff to it (rebooted once inside phone and it's gone), I've tried connecting my phone to my computer & transferred stuff that way (rebooted and it's gone), tried bluetoothing (reboot and gone).

What options do I have left?

Reformat the SD. If you are putting files on to the SD using a PC, and they don't read on the phone; then you are looking at a formatting issue, not a permissions issue.

SD read is a bit finicky on this device. I've seen a number of folks that have had files show up fine on other Android devices and on their computer, but the M8 simply won't read the SD. Reformat fixed it.

If you had picked the recovery partition to be backed up, then yes, your backup will contain stock recovery.

Try to restore the backup, and if the recovery partition is contained in the backup, TWRP will give you recovery as one of the available check boxes to pick for restore.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiphan:
Thanks, but now I have a problem as I could've sworn I selected everything when creating the backup yet it doesn't show me the option to restore the recovery. Unless I have to sideload TWRP like I did to create the backup in the first place? Hmmm, now where was that command to do that again... :confused:

A backup is a backup, it doesn't matter whether you fastboot booted TWRP to make it or not (doesn't affect how you restore it).

If recovery is not selectable, its not in the nandroid, and can't be restored.

You can open the TWRP folder in a file manager, and see if the recovery file is there (might be recovery.win?). But I'll bet its not.

Why do you want stock recovery, anyway?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enzeem2010:
You got that right about finicky! So, steps towards formatting got weird: I removed all the files from my SD and put them onto my PC, and visually folder looked empty. But, when I right clicked to get to the format option, SD said the files were still taking up space. So, I pulled out the card from the slot on my computer, put it back in, and the files actually showed back up! Next, made sure all the files really were backed onto my computer, and now am doing a full (not quick) format on the card....which (2 hours later) failed. Same thing with a quick format. AND, even with deleting files, they are still there. Next, will format on phone..which ALSO didn't work - kept saying the card was half full, and then the files were still there. Tried using the "make more space" function..which seemed to be working, but the files keep creeping back. I got it down to 2gb space used, and tried to format again, and afterwards, the original amount I had on the card came back. This is getting strange... I may well have a corrupted card.

ADB is next. Wonder if this will work..

Video Camera switches off on its own

I'm using my HTC One M8s' video camera as dashcam, and I have noticed that it switches off after a while, and I have to press the VideoCamera button again.

Looking at my recorded files, they are all 26:56 in length.

Is that just a standard feature, or is something else happening? I have enough storage space.

Cannot get cameras replaced properly

Hi everybody, My HTC M8 fall from 40m height, my screen was broken and camera not workin. As I am russian and my family lives there, I gave them my HTC so that they can take it to service center and get it fixed. They managed to fix the screen but not cameras, as they didnt know where to order them. So while being in Spain I ordered both cameras and then brought them to Russia and gave to service centre with the phone. So, here comes the problem, they disassembled my HTC took the metal casing where both cameras were and connected the new big one but connected without metal casing-hanging. So the problem is that it doesnt have AutoFocus now. More problems come now, when you connect small camera you cannot enter camera app and make photos( with only big one you can). So we took it to another center where they said that there is whatever problem with some plate or something and they cannot fix it. So its now laying on the bookshelf disassambled.

So my questions are :

1. Can I use it with only one big camera?

2. Does second camera affect autofocus?

3. If not, can it be fixed by mounting it to the original metal casing( which should hold it in a fixed position alowing micro movements for focusing, am I wrong?)?

4. Could it be some plate which connects small camera that doesnt allow second camera to function properly and what could it be?

Please Help me ASAP if you know anything about situation like that.

Ok, tried a couple 3rd party formatting apps, and they said it was write protected. Went into registry, created a new key since it wasn't there. then used the diskpart command. both actions appeared successful, but after when I tried to format thru app and thru windows no luck. I also started poking around in twrp, but didn't go very far .. need to read up more on that before screwing around with it. It might be a permissions issue.. need to look that up.

HTC OTA Updating issue. Software updating but not Firmware.

Hi All,

I am looking to getting help on an issue ive had for a few months now but thought now I finally need to address it. I have been sitting on Stock 4.4.2 Kitkat for a while now after coming from a ViperOne ROM Earlier. I am unable to update to 5.0 Lollipop due to firmware issues (WiFi Not Functioning). I had Relocked the bootloader, Nandroid Restore to a Stock ROM Where in that original ROM the WiFi is still working to Receive the OTA and also had the corrosponding Stock Recovery for it aswell. This is a demo of what I do...

-Reset ALL aspects of the phone (Bootloader, Recovery & ROM S-ON) - Never had S-OFF

-After Installing the ROM i Receive a notification for a System update & Firmware Upgrade aswell.

-Go thru with the OTA update. So the Software updates. But not the firmware. So im left with an updated OS but no WiFi Functionality

My CID is VODAP021

My Android Version: 4.4.2

Software Version: 1.12.710.17

HTC Sense: 6.0

Baseband: 1.19.21331147A1.09_G20.57.4196.01L_F

Build Info: 1.12.710.17 CL319174 release-keys.

Please note that this is the software i am on at the moment and all is stock here even the recovery. This OS receives the OTA update but I don't wanna go thru the hassle all over again of having no WiFi and Downgrading the ROM all over again. Hence why i am seeking some help by anyone. The OTA update available to go to is 1.54.710.8 which in the changelog states there is a WiFi Firmware update. If you need more details just tell me and il send it thru

Cheers,

Wetz.

Hello all.

I am probably gonna buy myself a m8 today and I wanted to know 2 things.

Since its gonna be today, I need a quick reply (if possible). :)

1. Is the camera really so bad?

I have read the reviews and comparasions, and the m8 is always/often on the last place.

If yes, is there a chance to make it better? For example custom rom or something?

2. Battery life? Can it match the lg g2 and xperia z2?

I personally have those two devices and battery life is really great,

but I have read that m8 isnt bad either (even better?).

My apologies if am posting in the wrong forum.

I have an M8 from Australia(Telstra). I had Android version 4.4.4 and was getting about 2days without charging. I updated to Lollipop 5.0.1 and am now getting less than a day . About 18 hours. I read around and did factory reset and clear cache partition. I even removed all apps and am still getting less than 24hrs.

I wanna go back to 4.4.4. Am not rooted and have s-on . can anyone walk me throught his without complications. Am familiar with rooting and the basic techniques but not on m8 Telstra. I believe all other brands(at&t, Verizon's, etc ) have their unique process for downgrading... I don't know for Telstra. Pls help good people.

So I tried to root my phone by downloading weaksauce, said root worked, root checker confirmed. Downloaded TWRP from google play, installed. Tried to boot to recovery and that is all the phone will let me do now.

I can boot to twrp, flash different roms, connect via fastboot.

I have tried 4 different roms, going back to stock, updating the firmware, updating the boot.img, switching to philz recovery, going back to TWRP, the RUU (model id error), switching to super CID, switching my MID

So basically all I can access on my phone now is the bootloader and whatever recovery I put on it. Any help would be appreciated.

You flashed WWE/International firmware onto a Verizon phone, and that is what is causing your issues.

I suggest you run the Verizon RUU from this thread. It is available there in .exe to run on your PC, or as a .zip to flash via the hboot method. If you choose the hboot method don't forget to delete the file from your extSD after, otherwise it'll try to update every time you boot to bootloader.

You can't downgrade firmware if you are S-On. Sorry.

You'd need to get S-Off and flash 4.4.4 firmware and a 4.4.4 ROM. If you could find a 4.4.4 RUU for Telstra (I don't know of any), you could downgrade both at once and remain stock. You'd still need S-Off for that as well.

If I want to send my M8 back in to Verizon for warranty on my broken phone - what thread would best suit me to going back to factory settings from S-Off and Viper Rom?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
There's no need to go back to S-ON. In fact it's not recommended at all. All you need is the Verizon RUU. Run it and you should be fully back to stock. Some phones are shipped with S-OFF so there's no way of Verizon knowing whether yours was or not. If they repair your phone and send the same one back, then you still have S-OFF.

---------- Post added at 20:02 ---------- Previous post was at 19:56 ----------

First of all you are on the wrong firmware to be running ARHD. You need Lollipop firmware and you have Kitkat. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2723159

Apart from that, when you have changed to SuperCID AND upgraded your firmware, you need to flash the ARHD Rom and immediately afterward, flash a Verizon compatible Kernel

BEFORE YOU TRY TO REBOOT

. If you do not do that, you will have bootloops. See the thread I linked to for your firmware and notice the difference in your bootloader and the one on the thread. Oh, it's better to use TWRP as your recovery also. CWM is no longer supported. Enjoy.

Hi guys , Do you think Dolby audio that we are see on M9 can be added to M8 just with tweaks like custom Rom or kernel or xposed modules or etc ? In other words , Adding Dolby audio to M9 brought any changes of hardware for m9 in compare with previous tech (BoomSound on M8) ? In other words , again , Do you think Dolby audio is a tech only for m9 or every device based on sense 7 can use it as well as ? Do you thinks custom Sense 7 Rom like ViperOne & SkyDragon can have Dolby audio setting on M8 or not ?
