From what I can tell from ckpv5's stock TWRP backup thread, CID HTC__J15 can have MID 0P6B10000

or

0P6B67000. So maybe not conclusive that the device has been modified by s-off or not?

You can't check, and you can't s-off the phone (even if it was previously made s-off), since your device won't boot to OS (and therefore, can't use the sunshine app).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You tried different versions TWRP, and same result? Anything back to TWRP 2.8.7 should be okay with your current firmware.

Only other thing I can think of, if try to lock bootloader again (sorry to make you do that again) then flash firmware 6.12.401.4. Then flash RUU again, and see if any change.

You can get the firmware on the following post, including instructions on how to flash at the end of that post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60218734&postcount=5

Note that firmware is not the same as RUU or a ROM, but includes hboot, radio, etc. needed the ROM to work (but does not include the ROM itself). Typically firmware is flashed with the RUU. Just a shot in the dark, really. No reason to believe flashing firmware, then RUU, would have any different result than the RUU flash you already did. But worth a try, and no harm in doing so.

HTC Backup Storage Account Gaff

Hey Guys,

Been a bit of an idiot... I created a gmail account purely for my HTC Backup and didn't set up an account recovery password... I tried to restore and realised that I had forgotten the email address that I used.

What I am asking is whether any bright spark knows how/where the HTC backup storage account information is stored and whether I can get the email address out of it?

I use a variation of 4 passwords for various things, as such that isn't going to be an issue, but if I don't know the email I can't recover!

HTC Backup by default lists your storage account email as the first character and last character, the rest is asterisks... Mine is listed as D*****5@gmail.com and I can't figure it out... Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated...

Please, no flaming, I know it was a daft thing to do and lesson learnt etc., just want to know if there is anyway for me to get at that backup.

Thanks,

Dan

If you can reboot into recovery then you should be able to sideload a rom zip using adb :) This will then install the same as a normal ROM and you should be good to go!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I would suggest adb push, as sideload tends to be more problematic in my experience. adb push and sideload aren't the same thing, FYI. Sideload pushes the ROM and flashes it with a single command. Where adb push just copies the file to the phone's internal storage. You then need to boot recovery and flash as you normally would flash a ROM.

Could I flash back a TWRP Recovery of my original ROM and get an OTA Update from T-Mobile when the push 4.4 to come out or would they not allow that since I have flashed a new ROM?

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
OTA will install as long as you return to stock ROM, and no files were altered by root, but you will also need to return to stock recovery.

If T-Mobile US, you can relock the bootloader and RUU to return easily to stock ROM and recovery. Otherwise, do it manually.

Is it safe to update the HTC service pack yet? I know its been causing alot of problems for people (breaking phone functionality) and I want to know if its been addressed yet? Apparently the M7 still has the issue and the M8 never did...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corticool:
That's not what I said. Converting to a Google Play Edition M8 through the RUU method requires S-OFF. Flashing any ROM doesn't. Based on your last post I was assuming you wanted to go GPE, in which case the best method is to go with the RUU method (even if it's only for the comfort of getting OTA updates).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dantheman1:
Nah because in doing that.. That simply implies that I wanna stick with gpe right? I just wanted to switch Roms because Ive always liked vanilla android and is used to just flashing to those type of Roms.. That whole RUU stuff is a bit out of my knowledge and honestly I'll figure it out when lollipop is officially released for HTC stock..

So lol Yea is it okay to flash those type of Roms without doing anything in that route?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corticool:
You can flash any ROM you like, including stock Android-based ones, as long as you have an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. S-OFF is not required, nor even recommended, for this, and you certainly don't need to use a RUU .zip file. But that won't turn your device into a GPE M8. The RUU method is required to fully convert a "Sense edition" M8 into a GPE edition M8.

I'm coming from an S4 as well, so I know this is a bit off-putting. But the concept is the same: when you flashed a ROM based on stock Android on your S4, it didn't turn it into a GPE S4, it was just a custom ROM that happened to be based on stock android. With the M8, you have the option to actually turn it into an "almost official" GPE device using RUU.

Hope that's a bit clearer.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dantheman1:
Thanks man... I'm glad someone understands.. And Yea because I went from s4 to iPhone 5s just because of simplicity but then noticed the m8 and fell in love lol... And seeing all these steps and variables confused the **** out of me.. Kinda nervous to ask questions because I don't want my head bitten off... But just not a fan of 3rd party apps (lock screen, messaging, etc etc) and Yea I wasnt looking for complete gpe HTC only because I know I'm bound to come back to stock for that lollipop update and sense 7. I'm just killing time till the next couple months
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You can flash any ROM made for the M8, as long as it matches your model (GSM, CDMA, Dual SIM), just like any other phone.

The M7 issue has been fixed. The M8 never had the issue. You are safe to update.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corticool:
No worries, mate. I think it's safe to say that if there's one place where your head won't be bitten off for asking questions, it's in this thread. On the other hand, it might be bitten off for hinting that you tried to switch to Apple. There's no sane reason to do that. Ever. That's just plain treason. :D

Also, you don't need to go back to stock Sense for the Lollipop update, the GPE M8 has already received it, that's why I went through the bother of achieving S-OFF and flashing the RUU to convert to GPE. I would definitely recommend it as soon as you feel confident enough (but not before).

If you did the conversion, you will have to run a Sense RUU to get your partition sizes fixed. GPE conversion re-sizes your them, and only has 1gb for system partition. Sense needs more space in /system.

I wiped my Internal Storage through TWRP because my laptop can't detect my One M8 and I thought wiping the internal storage would fix the problem. I have tried wiping Dalvik Cache, Data and Cache and none of it helps thus without reason I wiped the internal storage.

When I reboot, my lock screen doesn't show up so does my status bar (cant even slide down to show notification), and also my on screen buttons. I tried to re-flash the ROM, idk what else I should re-flash but it didn't solve the problem. And still my laptop cannot detect my One M8. Also there is no TWRP backup to restore my phone back to Sense 6 ROM. (maybe the wipe deleted the backup, idk, it was there before).

Someone help me, I don't think any mobile shops in my country can fix this problem. There is no one to help me here. I can't even sell the phone because no one would want to buy an already damaged phone. SO please I beg for your help. Anyone I would be grateful for your reply.

Recording becomes darker

I'm having a strange thing with my camera lately.

When I am not yet recording, everything looks "fine". I can tap to change exposure etc.

But when I hit record, the video becomes way more darkener, and tapping on dark places won't make it pick up light as it should've been before.

Hope someone has a fix for this. Same goes for Snapchat, when I record, everything becomes more dark.

I have tried every option in my camera, even did a setting reset of the camera app and that did not fix it.

I uploaded a video of my problem. Notice how I'm tapping the dark area's on the video which only made it re-focus, but not change exposure. All settings where reset just before shooting that video.

watch?v=9sY3mlf-QgY (I'm new so can't post links sadly.)

Currently in Android 4.4.4. Eye update.

Thanks!

Edit: I've just tried turning up brightness and contrast, but for some reason changing the contrast makes my video COMPLETELY useless.

This makes me think the phone puts it into high contrast itself while recording. Not just low light.

Because any normal low light video can be enhanced by simply increasing brightness and contrast in a video editor.

EDIT:

This picture shows perfectly how it goes. Right is before filming, left is while filming..

Hello everyone,

It isn't instantaneous as Sense with pwr+home.. you have to press pwr+vol down (be quick) and hold it for a sec or two before it takes screenshot.. and make sure the vol bar doesn't show up.. if so.. ure doing it wrong.

I don't see any differences, except what would be expected to change after flashing the Marshmallow RUU or firmware (radio number, version-main number).

I also see what is listed for "commitno-bootloader" is different. I don't actually know what that one is. But I also suspect it will normally change with new RUU/firmware.

In any case, I don't see anything in the old getvar (versus more recent one) that would warrant any concern, nor give any clues to the present issues>

---------- Post added at 09:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Error which says to "flush again immediately" is normal and expected. Should say "flash again immediately", don't know why it always says "flush"! If you ran the command again to flash the firmware, you did the right thing.

Any other errors when flashing firmware, are

not

normal, and should be noted to us.

It does look weird (possibly concerning) that the output is showing the same bootloader (sbl1) being attempted multiple times: fail, successful fail

Not sure what that means, though. I have to think that this is still somehow connected to changing the battery (loose, damaged connector, etc.). Probably not a coincidence that the issues booting to OS or TWRP happened right after the repair.

I personally don't have any other guidance. We've tried everything I can possibly think of, including (some steps you did repeatedly):

- Flash RUU and signed firmware (with locked bootloader, as required)

- Flash TWRP, various versions (with unlocked bootloader, as required)

- Boot TWRP

From software/firmware standpoint, you are stuck. The phone won't boot after RUU and/or firmware flash, and TWRP won't boot. So there is no other way to get the phone booted to OS.

You can try to check the hardware connections again. I tend to think ckpv5 was onto something there. Especially since the issues arose after battery replacement (most likely not a coincidence). But personally, I know very little about the hardware side, and therefore try to stick with helping folks on the software/firmware issues. So I can't give any further guidance, unfortunately.
