I flashed the files from the link you posted in Odin and now I am golden! I attempted to upgrade OTA to 4.4.2 and it's saying that I'm up to date and that there are no updates available for my phone and to check back in 24 hrs. After seeing that, I checked the system status and it says "OFFICIAL" so I don't really understand why I can't upgrade OTA. I noticed that something I've done has tripped the warranty bit But whatever, I am perfectly fine with staying on 4.3 for now - I didn't see too much to really need to upgrade to 4.4.2 quite yet... although I might try to upgrade again tomorrow and see what happens. I don't really need root at the moment but if I attempt to flash to anything else in the future, I'll give towelroot a shot.

Again, thanks for your help - I owe ya one DocHoliday :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I've seen reports of this more than once where someone going back to stock initially receives the no updates available msg and then after 24 hrs or so it becomes available. So, your plan sounds good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Right on! Glad to hear you got it all fixed up! If that update does become available later, please let us know. I've been telling several people to wait a day, but I haven't heard if it actually came through for any of them yet.

If you do decide to root in the future, just don't forget about that backup!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CornfedChris:
So tonight while I was watching TV I looked down at my phone and noticed it decided to just go ahead and update itself to 4.4.2, haha. So apparently there's an auto-update defaulted in the settings somewhere. I haven't really noticed too many differences yet but I'm liking it so far. :good:

I see that you have already asked this in Cgef Central forum (http://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/help-help-compile-kernel-make-manifest-t2894423).

That's a good place to ask IMO.

You can find some general guides for porting CM ROM here:

1. Android Development and Hacking > Android Software Development > [GUIDE]How to port roms to your Device

2. Android Development and Hacking > Android Software Development > [GUIDE] How To Port Different Roms to Your Device - For CM, AOSP & AOKP

And there are some instructions on the CM website itself.

Maybe that can help you to port CM for your device.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I was wondering if anyone has installed Viper4Android on this device. I had it on my previous phone and it worked flawlessly; all my music sounded amazing.

But ever since we achieved root, I couldn't successfully install it. It keeps telling me Busybox is broken or not installed, and therefore won't let me install the audio drivers.

Can anyone try installing it, if they can? My favorite band just released a new album and I'd love to hear it with a good equalizer.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
I have just installed it successfully and it works perfectly on MT2-L05 4.4.2

I have busybox ( stericson ) installed on my phone. Maybe you can delete whatever version of busybox that you have installed and try to install stericson Busybox from playstore?

Good Luck !
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I've tried many Busybox versions, including stericson and it still won't work. Maybe the OS has something to do with it, if it works on KitKat and not Jelly Bean?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kid_Ding:
I failed to as well. I even tried the zip install.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I tried everything today: manual Viper installation, different Busybox versions, etc., still doesn't work.

Maybe the KitKat update will make it possible. That is, if we ever get a KitKat update... :( I may not use a Huawei phone again if we don't get updates. There's already been so many issues (for me at least) with Emotion being so extensively modified from regular Android. And we don't have any developers at all. I'll probably go Nexus next time.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] dbmj:
I am using it now flawlessly. The driver cannot be installed automatically but you can manage to use the flashable zip file to install it manually.

First uninstall the app and backup your build.prop.

Download the flashable zip file here.

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/discussion-viper4android-t2543796

Reboot to your TWRP and flash the zip file and reboot. The zip file would install the apk file in /system/priv-app which is actually not recognized by the Huawei system. So please manually move the apk file to /system/app or /data/app , or just install it and remove whatever file left in /system/priv-app

And then start the app you should be able to install the driver. Actually the driver has been installed after you flashed the zip file.

Since it will modify your build.prop, so please make a backup. And in my case it broke my build.prop so I had to modify the file manually. There is an example in the link above. Please append the followings at the end of your build.prop.

##Viper4android
lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=false
lpa.releaselock=false

OK. Reboot and you are all set.

Again, if you encounter soft brick and the system ui fails to appear, high chances that V4a broke or deleted your build.prop. Make sure you make a back up of that file first.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
Do you have this working on the US version MT2L03? And can V4A be used to boost the handset (earpiece) volume?

Thanks,
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] dbmj:
Yes and yes. I am using the US version MT2L03 and it can be used to boost my earbud volume.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Sweet, I thought you had the non-US version at first. I'll install TWRP soon, try this and report back!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
I managed to install it...but I dont know which settings will let me do this.

I want to increase the volume of the phone when using it as a phone held up to my ear without affecting battery drain. There are too many options. The FAQ links to a site to explain the settings but that site is down. Help?

Update: never mind I uninstalled viper4android (reverted to backup actually). It barely increased the volume but it would crash my phone when connecting to Bluetooth despite it being disabled for bluetooth.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Works great but shuts down when the screen sleeps. No option in the apps list to keep it running.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
There was the option to mark it as a protected app for me but that's because i installed it to /data/app by copying it there. Did you install it to /system/app maybe?

I found it too buggy to keep though so I dont use it now.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
No I pushed it to data/app. No protect option for me
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Aw, I forgot to install TWRP and try Viper over the weekend. :( I don't want to risk messing up my phone during the week, leaving me phone-less!

In the Viper settings, you can set "Show notification", so the system won't kill the app when the screen is off. If that's not enough, what I did on my previous phone was use this app to protect Viper. Install that, go to "Tasks", tap on Viper, and select "Exclude" on the bottom left.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] fface40:
Root the device (search how to root the device Huwei Mate 2)

Change to permissive mode with “SELinux Mode Changer” apk from xda or search.

Enable developer options (tapping the Settings->Builld Number several times will enable the developer options, by default it is hidden from the user) and uncheck Use Nuplayer option.

Install the viper4android (get the latest untouched viper4android from original viper4android thread).

optional making viper4andriod as system app(refer how to make system app, if you want to make viper4andorid as system app)

set following values on the “build.prop” using the (Build Prop Editor, search for apk)

##Viper4android

lpa.decode=false

tunnel.decode=false

lpa.use-stagefright=false

lpa.releaselock=false

Run following commands with “Terminal Emulator” apk (search playstore or internet)

>>su

>>/system/xbin/supolicy --live "allow mediaserver mediaserver_tmpfs:file { read write execute };"

Open the viper4android and install the drivers.

Reboot the device

After reboot Launch the viper4android and check the driver status then you will see driver status normal.

feel free to play with compatible mode option or other options to suit your needs.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] yuppicide:
I run Viper Rom 2.5.0. Been using it for a bunch of versions now. I have about 9GB left. I notice TWRP 2.7.0.2 is taking up close to 8GB. It's there any way I can get back some of that space?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Sounds like you have a few backups taking up space since TWRP in & of itself isn't anywhere that large. Use a file explorer app to go into TWRP and delete any unnecessary backups you may have.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] yuppicide:
I don't know what was in the TWRP -> Backup folder. There was a folder in there with a weird name, and within that two folders I had no idea what they were.

I went in NO BALLS style and just deleted them. Thanks!!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
The folder with the weird name was most likely the folder with your device serial number. Within that folder is your backups. If you deleted those you don't have any backups so you might want to go into recovery and make a backup soon.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyHeathen:
Please pardon me if this has been asked before, or if it's really a very stupid question: Is it possible that simply rooting an otherwise stock HTC One M8, GPE, running Android 4.4.4, and installing TWRP and SuperSU, could cause bluetooth failures?

I ask because I heard that from a support tech whose company manufactures a bluetooth car kit I've installed, and the gadget in question intermittently fails to start up properly. I can pretty accurately predict the probability of a successful start up by knowing how long the vehicle's ignition key switch has been off. If it's been an hour or more the gadget will amost always start up properly, but if it's been less than ten minutes it'll almost always fail to start up properly. After it fails, I can just leave everything off for an hour and it'll work just fine, most of the time. It really doesn't seem logical to me that the phone could be implicated, given the strong correlation of off time to success probability, but the world is weird so I'm asking.

I've a bluetooth headset and a bluetooth OBD-II adapter that both work flawlessly with this phone.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brichardson1991:
Rooting the phone itself wouldn't affect bluetooth.

Changing to GPE 4.4.4 again shouldn't affect bluetooth in the manner you are talking about as it was made for that phone.

Bluetooth issues usually come up when problems exist in the ROM you are using.

I can't imagine the scenario you are talking about will have any issues.

Someone else might explain it better than me though.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did the device work properly before you rooted?

As mentioned, simply rooting the device is unlikely to have cause such a problem. Bluetooth compatibility is complicated issue. The Bluetooth "standard" is not as standard as you would hope. Given the sheer number of possible device combinations, some combinations just don't play well together.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyHeathen:
The device in question being the car kit? If so, I can only say that the phone predates the car kit so I don't know. If the device in question is the phone, it's working fine even now with two different bluetooth headsets and a bluetooth OBD-II (automotive on-board diagnostics) adapter.

Frankly, I believe that the support drone is a charity case of some kind, maybe the sales manager's recalcitrant kid or something like that. He's obviously just making things up as he goes along, but the one thing he's said that I can't easily disprove is the line about rooting the phone somehow annoying the aftermarket car kit device hiding behind my vehicle instrument panel. When it comes to phones I'm just a clueless luser and won't pretend otherwise, but I figure there are plenty hereabout who are perfectly clueful.

Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I was thinking whether the phone worked with the car kit before you rooted the phone. But as you just stated, the phone predates the car kit, so no way of knowing that. Somewhat a rhetorical question, really. I seriously doubt rooting would have any effect.

Support techs are probably just programmed to say such things. Once a phone is rooted, they have no way of knowing what you did to it, and if it might have affected something on the phone. But root itself is just a permission change, it isn't going to affect the functionality in itself.

Don't know if the Bluetooth stack for Sense ROMs or AOSP ROMs (CM11, SlimKat, etc.) are any different from GPE. You will need to convert the partition layout to flash a Sense ROM (and AOSP ROMs?).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HappyHeathen:
I'd rather remove the car kit and smash it with a sledgehammer than futz around with reflashing the phone with ROM images I don't otherwise need. The sledgehammer is already on standby. :laugh:

I got a problem with my SPV-M3000, that i bought in Poland with a QWERTY Keyboard layout. I've flashed a German Qtek 9100 Rom on it, but the layout got messed up. It's QWERTZ and not QWERTY and all the symbols (like @ or $) are not in the position they should be.

Well i've read a lot of threads with the keyboard-layout problem. Tried the registry-hack but it didn't work for me. Then I tried AEKMAP, but I don't know how to configure it - do I have to buy it?

Hi Team,

Hope this is a solvable situation.

I purchased a Gionee Elife E6 purely based on its hardware specs. However, it is a pity that i am unable to get any custom ROMS for it. I found the MIUI v5 but it has its own share of Issues and i am looking at something on the lines of CM (Stock Feeling, More control :D)

Gionee is yet to release a Kitkat version for this phone and this phone is supposed to be their "flagship" phone.

How do i go about creating my own ROM (Stock OS ensuring all HW Is detected well and works).

I flashed cm 11 4.4.4 ROM from Novafusion. There was nothing wrong and I turned the phone off, And when I turned it back on, It stucks in the boot logo screen. I can't access recovery so I entered into download mode. I flashed pac-man 4.4.2 ROM from Novafusion using odin. There was nothing wrong with the procedure. But when I turned it back on it stucks in the boot logo, again. I downloaded a WIPE_i8190.tar.Md5 file and flashed it with odin. And when i turn the phone on. it boots into recovery mode and boots again and again. Now, I can only access download mode. What should I do?
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Maybe best to flash a stock firmware again with ODIN ... and then try again to flash cm ROM.

AFAIK you need to wipe data to get it booting.

If the phone does not pass this test it's definitely not waterproof!

If the phone passes this still is not 100% confirmation that your phone is definitely waterproof. The chance is rather high though.

Did you ever wonder if your device is really waterproof but do not want to find that out by dunking it in water?

Here is a test which uses just the phone and it's service mode (or any barometer app).

1. dial *#*#7378423#*#*

2. go to "Service Tests"

3. go to "pressure sensor"

4. slightly compress the phone using your thumb and index finger by pressing on the display and back

SLIGHT PRESSURE. No Berserker mode please! This is not a crush-your-phone contest!

--> if all seals are intact the pressure should rise. Your phone with intact seals is a closed system. If you compress the volume the pressure goes up as a result. If any of the seals is compromised pressure will not rise.

Note: pressure will decrease automatically - that is likely a result of some mechanism (membrane/valve behind lanyard hole) to adjust for changes in atmospheric pressure to allow the barometer to work.

credit for the original idea goes to User Alik from the German Android-Hilfe.de forums
