Soft Brick while attempting to change MID?

Hello,

Unfortunately, I am a bit stuck. I was attempting to convert my HTC One M8 T-Mobile to a stock GPE.

So I unlocked my phone through HTCDEV and got S-OFF with Sunshine and changed my Cell ID to GOOGL001. But something went wrong when I was changing my Model ID . . .

With sdk-tools, I can't get adb commands to work, but some fastboot commands do so I still have some connectivity.

And attached are the two screens my phone can get to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I'm also not sure if I'm missing any pertinent information so please let me know.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Fastboot commands and adb commands can't be entered at the same time, pretty much by definition. So the fact you can do fastboot commands, but not adb commands is perfectly normal. Fastboot commands only work in fastboot mode; and your phone seems to be in RUU mode, which is a sort of fastboot mode.

adb commands only work when booted into OS or in recovery.

Since you've successfully changed your CID and MID, and your phone is in RUU mode; just run the conversion RUU.

If i Update to OTA again upto Lollipop and still doesnt work, can i try to go with this?

CID HTC__621

MID 0P6B11000

1.54.709.12

2.22.709.3

But it needs the hboot to be like this?

hboot 3.16.0000 - 1.xx.xxx.x

hboot 3.18.0000 - 2.xx.xxx.x

Is it ok if I restore to 1.54.709.12 back up but my hboot is 3.19.0000?

I don't remember it being like that on AOSP Roms + Dynamic Gapps, And it's been pretty much the first time I use CM 12 base Roms, But I could be wrong, I'd like confirmation from someone, Is it the ROM/CM or Banks Dynamic Gapps or the combo.

Busted Hangouts

HTC One M8 running Paranoid Android 5.1

My phone restarted the other day (not uncommon.) When it rebooted all my account information was gone (never happened before.)

No big deal, I reentered the information, but since then my SMS and chat hangouts have been split in Hangouts. I have cleared the cache and the data. Uninstalled and reinstalled Hangouts. I even performed a reset and restore. No luck.

Each contact now has 2 conversations, one for SMS and one for chat. If I go into a chat conversation I no longer can touch the green bubble and select SMS. If I go into SMS I can touch the "SMS" button and select between carrier number and Google Voice number. I have tried long pressing the SMS conversation and the chat conversation and the "Merge" button does not appear. If I select UNMERGE from an older conversation (pre restart) it will split out and I can remerge those one thread. But it still will only allow me to use one protocol in each thread.

I have done factory reset and restore. When the issue first happened I was running Cyanogenmod 12.1 and I have since transitioned to Paranoid Android, same issues.

Any suggestions?

Change MID?

Hello,

Yesterday I changed my CID & MID so that I could install the Development/Unlocked software on my M8 (1540), but after a while I decided I wanted to return to my carrier software (since their bloat is 100% removeable).

So I changed my CID back to 'OPTUS001' but I couldn't find a way to change my MID to '0P6B650' and after restoring 4.4.4 and trying to upgrade to 5.0.1, I get the error message that the software may have been tampered with.

So my question is, can anyone please help me find a way to restore my MID? Even if the two are unrelated, I'd really like the official one back. I've attached a 'getvar' screenshot from before the change. Am currently S-OFF.

Thank you in advanced!

What issue do you have when attempting to change back your MID? You shouldn't have any problem... But of course, if MID and CID don't match the original, you'll be unable to take the OTA.

Which is error 32? If you're S-OFF you don't have to relock the bootloader. I used to have connection problems running RUUs, but solved it by connecting the device in Fastboot USB mode to my computer. It's much faster, easier and with no issues.

Error 32 is header error. It's often caused by renaming a zip and having two .'s (dots) before zip. Example: firmware..zip

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergioRmz:
If you want to have Lollipop firmware you'll have to either run proper RUU for your device or take the latest OTAs since you cannot flash firmware manually (your device is S-ON).

Once you have updated the firmware version, you can just flash the ROM you want.

Try to force your phone to turn off by pressing vol buttons + power until screen goes down. If you are able to enter into your bootloader, you still can flash the RUU I was talking about (since you already relocked the bootloader and your MID and CID match).

Just download latest RUU.exe and connect your device in Fastboot USB. Then follow the steps in the executable until it says your device has been updated.

No. You don't need S-Off to flash any ROMs. You will only need S-Off to flash firmware not made specifically for you device to run specific ROM updates if your carrier doesn't have an OTA update ready for you.

Different regions update at different times. WWE/International is usually first after GPE and Dev Ed.

Says right on the FAQ for that website: Please note that the software currently does not support HTC devices. But our Android experts are more than capable of rooting these devices remotely

I'm not sure what means they intend to root "remotely"; but I have a feeling they just lead you though unlocking the bootloader. Meaning you've just wasted your money ($30 for "remote" support) for them to tell you how to do something you can just learn from XDA for free.

Plus, it looks like this particular root method is outdated: One Click Root currently supports almost all Android smartphones running Android 2.1.X and higher. Specifically, we support many Androids running Android 2.2.X, 2.3.X, and 4.0.X.

I have a feeling the root software is just a scam to get you to pay the $30 for "remote support".

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Not sure, but it looks like Maximum v7 corresponds to your firmware (2.22) and I'm guessing you picked that old ROM version for that reason.

Did you do a full wipe (default wipe in TWRP) before flashing the ROM?

Looks like you guys have been messing with things you don't understand. So its not a surprise you've put youself in this position.

My advice is to slow down, and do a lot more reading and understanding of what you are going, before you do some permanent damage.

S-off isn't needed to get the phone running again. Don't know why you think it is. And yes, sunshine is the only way to s-off, and needs a working OS, anyway.

Also, you should never have relocked the bootloader. Unless your CID has an RUU (don't think it does) there is usually never a reason to relock.

You also can't do much of anything while relocked, so the first thin you need to do is go through the HTCDev.com process to unlock again.

After that, install TWRP back to the phone, then put the stock 3.32.708 nandroid (from here) on the phone and restore it with TWRP.

As I stressed before, you need to read and understand before doing.

What you did is not remotely the correct way to restore a nandroid. The process is described in Post #3 (Questions and Answers) of the stock nandroid thread I linked previously.

A nandroid is not a flashable zip. You need to extract the contents, then copy the folders to the

exact

correct location on your phone (usually internal storage, but removable SD is also possible if you setup TWRP that way). Then you RESTORE the nandroid,

not

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scramjet:
Hi guys.

I'm still on KitKat, stock, rooted, custom TWRP recovery, S-OFF and such, firmware version 3.32.707.9. I want to know a few things about the stock Lollipop update.

First, there have been battery life and other teething issues that were quite widely reported with Lollipop. How true is this? I can get about 6.5-7 hours of screen on time currently.

Furthermore, I like the old copy-paste dialogue box that was present in Kit Kat and earlier - like this:

If I remember correctly, in Lollipop, these icons are actually an unlabelled row over the screen, and I easily confuse 'select all' and 'copy'. Does this mean I have to back up and transfer the HTC Sense Input application as well to Lollipop?

Next, I previously tried to update to Lollipop, but I noticed that several of the apps had changed, not to my liking, for example, the Clock app (I really like the moveable globe of the previous version). I have also received a prompt to update the apps even in Kit Kat, but I haven't done so. This also includes the previous version of HTC TV, which works perfectly fine for me as opposed to the new one which just asks us to use Peel remote (which is very buggy). So my question is, can I back up those apps with Titanium Backup and after updating, restore those apps? Would they work properly?

Finally, is the update necessary, or somehow better than Kit Kat? If not then I don't want to go through the hassle of restoring a stock recovery, updating then rooting again.

P.S. I just wanted to slot this in - when my M8 runs out of battery and switches off, sometimes I lose my entire custom dictionary. I have to restore it from my SD card again. Is this a known bug?

And speaking of SD cards, sometimes the SD card in my phone force-unmounts, and I have to physically re-insert it again for it to mount. What's wrong?

Finally, my screen looks very yellow, as though it wasn't calibrated properly. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to send it in again?
