M8 screen problem

Hi all! I have one m8 HTC with screen problem, when the phone get a little hot, the screen get crazy and random touches by itself all over screen. This is already a second screen, and I won't fix again.

The question is what I can do with it? Can use a mouse on it? Can I put a "desktop" OS on it and plug in a old internetless TV to make a desktop to check mails maybe some stream service?

Thanks!

HTC one m8 earpiece and mic and battery woes

Hello to all!

Been using this phone since a long time and never had any problems till date.

Suddenly the earpiece when calling/receiving a call is giving very less volume even though it is full. Same with the Microphone.

Is this a software or hardware issue ?

Also the battery runs out pretty quick.I am usually on Wi-Fi only when I need to and don't use it full time.Previously my phone lasted a good 3 days on a single charge but now it's dead in a day. Any suggestions ? Is the battery replaceable? Also , when I use the original charger it shows some notification the charger is not genuine.

Sorry I realize these are too many questions in one post.

This is my first time posting.

Any suggestions / advices would be great.

Thanks!

Try using an old toothbrush to clean the holes in the earpiece and mic. Put it on them at a 90 degree angle and make circular motions. I had the same problem with my mic some time ago, and that fixed it for me.

As for your battery, it's probably just natural degredation. They don't last forever

Hi there. I'm currently running the latest unofficial Lineage ROM 15.1 for my M8 and it installed and runs without problems coming from the final RR Nougat ROM. I like to try the unofficial RR v6.0 Oreo ROM but came across a problem. Downloaded ROM and appropriate GAPPS and installed with latest TWRP. All went fine. However, when I try to boot into the system I cant get past the boot loader screen, HBOOT, FAST BOOT, RAM DUMP etc. Has anyone else experienced this problem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

From what I can tell from the radio number, the installed firmware (meaning hboot, radio, etc - not the ROM) if really old, Kitkat Euro firmware (although there may be other possible versions that use the same radio number). Therefore, flashing a newer (such as Marshmallow) ROM is not compatible with the Kitkat firmware. And broken WiFi is the common and expected result.

There are a number of possibilities to move forward. One recommendation, would be to flash Marshmallow Euro firmware 6.12.401.4 from here: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792

After that (and flashing the M8 ROM of your choice) you should find WiFi works fine.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpitor:
You are "the man" :)

I needed 2 hours to find "my way". (I'm 42yo)

However it is my first encounter with "hacking" HTC phones.

So shortest way to update firmware is:

- download: M8_6.12.401.4_WWE_TWRP3001.zip (use google to download)

- rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and copy to external microSD card

- reboot into RUU (if you don't know how, use "Scriptversion 1.2.7" from your link in upper comment)

- unplug phone and boot in bootloader **

- follow the suggested procedure

- if error, use command: "Fastboot oem writeCID 11111111" and repeat **

VOILÁ

:)

Oh, I almost forgot to tell: WIFI is working, phone didn't need to be flashed again, rom and apps and settings stayed intact.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Don't forget to remove it or rename otherwise you'll go through the same procedure every time you reboot to hboot.

or is that something else i'm thinking of?

err on the side of kindness
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
Not when on the sd card like that. One flash is sufficient. It's like with OTA, it does it once and sticks. It's with fastboot commands you must flash firmware twice.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That's right. It hadn't occurred to me, that since you are s-off, flashing the firmware won't require you to re-flash the ROM. With s-on (which also requires full stock signed firmware) you need to flash the ROM after flashing the firmware.

That's another good point, since you were on the GPE CID, you would probably get Error 42 (as described in the guide I linked) trying to flash the Euro firmware.

Nice job working through it.

I want to use my screenbroken HTC as a quality audio player for marantz amp.

(Recently I flashed it with GPE.)

I found this old tutorial:

Then you can install viperonem8 from here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2705292.

Next you have to to is to gain S-Off using sunshine (which costs 25$, but is a must in order to be able to use HarmanKardon Mod): http://theroot.ninja/

Then you can install HarmanKardon Mod from the Venom Hub which is found under your ROM's apps.

Last but not least you need ElementalX Kernel in order to enable floating point precision audio on kernel level. The easiest way to do this is the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ementalxkernel but it costs a few bucks. If you want to save this, you can search XDA for a flashable zip. But the app has advantages as auto-updates and kernel settings.

- is ViperOneM8 optimal rom? Any other suggestion? (I know this is delicate question)

- can I S-OFF my M8 for free? (Maybe with old firewater if I could find it somewhere?)

- is ElementalX Kernel still optimum for best audio?

- How to flash kernel?

Thanx for any help possible. :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
You already stated it, sunshine costs 25 $. If you don't pay, you don't get s-off. Live with it. It's the only way to gain s-off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Just go to the ElementalX thread: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/orig-development/elementalx-repack-t3477120

Flash the kernel from recovery. It can't be any easier than that.

The kernel isn't being updated anymore. So the supposed benefit of auto-updates (for the paid app) is no longer applicable.

You definitely don't need any paid app to flash a kernel. Kernel flashing can always be done with either fastboot or recovery (depending on the kernel). It's not like every kernel has its own paid app.

You are never going to get firewater to work. The firewater binary alone is not enough. Firewater required an online server component, which the devs took offline a long time ago (2016).

Pay for sunshine, or don't s-off. It's that simple.

But honestly, I don't think you really need s-off just to get a great sound experience.

As you basically eluded to, ROM choice is a very personal matter. I'm not intending to steer you to one ROM versus another. But if you want HK, I though that S.ROM developer was able to offer it without s-off. You may read the S.ROM thread a bit, for details/confirmation. And it appears the audio mods offered on S.ROM were a bit controversial, at that.

On a similar note, I don't know if I agree that a specific kernel is going to give you "best audio". Again, such a topic is highly subjective. But personally, I think that this device gives great sound with Boomsound, and you also have other audio mods as well (such as Viper4Android - V4A). My thought is that paying $25 for s-off, just to get HK, is not worth the marginal sound quality difference (if that) when other options exist.

I'm assuming, since you are trying to "get" HK, that you haven't actually heard it yet. Some folks love HK. But on the other hand, lots of folks love (or hate) Boomsound as well. HK is just another audio mod. IMO, it's not a game changer, and not any significantly better or worse than any other audio mods. Just a matter of personal preference. For all you know, you may not even like HK as much as Boomsound, or V4A, etc.

On that note, to me V4A is actually better than either Boomsound or HK, since it is massively more customizable. The number of options on V4A is actually so numerous as to be a little overwhelming. You can tweak the sound to your own preference, not just the sound "tuning" spoonfed to you by Boomsound or HK.

Battery life is often a function of how you individually use your phone, and your reception in your local area. Other folks likely won't give you any valuable info regarding battery life comparisons. In the time you posted this and waited for an answer, you could have just made a nandroid backup of your current setup, flashed InsertCoin, and be trying it out. Then if you don't like it, just use your nandroid to revert back to ARHD.

If you took the time to make this post, and to wonder if its worthwhile; then the answer is YES its worth it to at least try out InsertCoin.

Fastboot is not something you install on your phone. Also, its not something that requires anything to be selected in Settings.

If you have fastboot setup on your computer, just connect the phone by USB. Boot into bootloader, and it should be in fastboot mode by default.

Yes, you are wrong. When folks here talk about the GSM version, its in contrast to the CDMA versions. CDMA is US Verizon and Sprint only. Every other version is GSM, and they are all essentially the same and can all use the same ROMs; with the added exception of the Taiwanese overclocked version, and the dual SIM M8.

So as long as you don't have Sprint, Verizon, Taiwan, or dual SIM variants; any ROM or mod meant for the "GSM" M8 will work on your phone.

It looks like you got the phone back up and running.

But the problem that started it all (random restarts) are not typical results of rooting. You may have used old or incorrect TWRP and/or root (SuperSU or Magisk) files. Or due to other mods done after rooting (Xposed, etc.).

- Do fastboot getvar all and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting)

THEME QUESTION -- can't find a setting, driving me nuts!

I'm stumped by something incredibly annoying. HTC periodically pushes messages to me, to encourage a theme change. I decided to try one out. I didn't like it, so I went back to "Classic Default" and applied my own wallpaper. However... on the pull down for quick settings , the active icon color is now red, instead of blue. It didn't revert back when I changed back to the original theme. Every time I try to search theme info on how to fix this, it just brings me to "accent colors" and quick settings order changing. Nothing about the active quick settings highlight color. I'm on Marshmallow stock Sprint.

Can someone point me in the right direction? At this point I've wasted so much time trying to find this (I even went through a theme creation tutorial and it neglected to address this). Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I found something about the "System UI Tuner"... but that HTC has blocked access to it. Apparently to turn it on, you long press the "gear icon" in the pull down tray and you'd access it. But that doesn't work. So, I'm guessing that this quick settings icon active color is controlled there, and I won't be able to set it. I guess that means I'll have to try hunting down a theme that changes the active color back and apply it. :rolleyes:
