boot.emmc.win is boot.img

Let say you manually install boot.img you run

fastboot flash boot boot.img

so for boot.emmc.win you run

fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win

If custom kernel doesn't change kernel modules, manually fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win or restore boot in TWRP is enough.

If custom kernel does change kernel modules, you need to restore system in TWRP too to restore the modules unless you do keep stock kernel modules then you can manually replace them

You can find guides on how to change MID, CID and flash radios in the M8 Development section.

s-off is by sunshine app, it will cost you $25 and you can get it here: http://theroot.ninja/

There is also a sunshine thread on XDA, if you just use the site search function. But honestly, the apps is self-explanatory, and you shouldn't need to refer to the thread unless you want to.

Not that I am aware. You can look up specs on GSM Arena or other websites to see what M8 versions support which bands, at least as a start. Although its been noted that some bands are supported when not listed in the specs.

Or there may be some dialer "secret codes" that bring up what bands are supported. But not that I know of.

Nandroid Backup without Root?

Dear Friends,

is it possible to create nandroid backup without ROOT i.e. without installing custom recovery and without loosing data?

Regards

@di
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Root and custom recovery are 2 different things. In fact, you need to install custom recovery to obtain root (unless you use the kingroot method - but the more common root methods involve custom recovery).

But to answer your question, yes you can make a nandroid back without even flashing custom recovery by using fastboot boot TWRP in instead of fastboot flash TWRP. Basically, booting TWRP remotely from your computer. After you've booted into TWRP you can then make a nandroid, even including the stock recovery!

You will however, need to unlock the bootloader to do this, and I believe that will wipe your data.

The command is:

fastboot boot recovery.img

Where "recovery.img" is the exact filename of the recovery file which should be moved/copied to your fastboot folder.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

A different radio is what you need. S-off and changing the CID,MID are required to flash another carrier's radio.

Changing the ROM or kernel won't affect band support.

I told you the specific steps needed to change band support. If other steps were needed, I would have included them. You're making this more complicated than it should to be.

Since you linked the ZIP version RUU, this should work fine, regardless of Linux. If the previous poster had tried the EXE RUU, this requires a Windows PC, as I believe even running Virtual Box on Linux will usually cause the RUU EXE to fail.

As long as the user has fastboot/adb working on Linux (to relock the bootloader, etc.) the RUU you linked should be fine.

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

RUU as previuosly suggested.

Otherwise, if you have a nandroid of the stock 3.28.401.9 ROM, you can restore; then put the corresponding stock recovery on the phone in order to OTA.

But RUU is probably easier and less chance of mistakes; as long as you don't mind that the phone will be wiped by RUU.

No, you can't simply flash or install a ROM meant for another device. Different hardware (with different firmware), different partitions, etc.

It takes a lot of knowledge and work to properly "port" (import) a ROM to work on another device.

The issue described by wasim9283 has nothing to do with SD write permissions. If that were the case, the SD would be perfectly

That's a result of choosing T-Mobile US when installing the ROM. T-Mob US markets HSPA+ as "4G". If you were in an LTE area, it will show as "4G LTE" or some such nonsense.

Dirty flash (just wipe Dalvik & cache, keep user data) but choose a different carrier to get the "normal" signal icons (E, H, H+, LTE).

Did you check the CM thread, to see if this is a known issue?

I already stated this isn't a permissions issue, so the app suggested by another user is a waste of time. The KitKat SD permissions issue is a very specific one, where

read

works fine, but apps cannot

write

to a folder unless the folder was specifically created by the app (writing to other locations will fail).

When folks see any sort of SD card issue, they jump to the conclusion that it must be the "the KitKat SD permisssions" problem, when in fact its not, unless the symptoms are

Problems applying stagefright patch

Hi everyone!

I have a rooted (SuperSU) M8 on Lollipop (5.0.1) and the system nags me with an OTA update that fixes the stagefright bug. Since I had previously TWRP installed and read that the OTA updates need a stock recovery, I went back to recovery_4.16.401.10.img and crossed fingers that the update went through.

Obviously it went wrong, because the checksum check ("has unexpected contents") for a system jar, namely /system/framework/com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar, failed. On my rooted system, this file has an MD5 sum of c41df8a1b0734167c780d56f65605c7a, while it probably should have 70198c8ea8ac425578dc78b968e1592f (at least if I look at the file from somebody that fetched the stock 5.0.1 installation from his M8).

Now, my naive attempt to "fix" the issue (mount -o remount,rw /system, putting the "correct" file into the "correct" place), failed, since the filesystem is already reset as soon as the updater reaches the recovery mode. (This is btw. something I never understood the underlying mechanics, can I really only ever make permanent changes to /system by flashing recovery zips without being S-Off? I am not S-Off and Sunshine for some reason does not work for me...)

So what can I do? If moving the jar to the right place via TWRP / recovery, I'm a bit lost because I only every used these to flash existing zip files and never compiled my own.

Thanks,

Thomas.

You must be completely STOCK to take OTA updates. Just one modified file in the system partition will cause the update to fail, as happened to you. I suggest you go back to STOCK and then take the OTA to update the stagefright issue.

... Going back to stock forces me to setup this whole mess again. I mean the "corrupted" file must have gotten somehow on the system image, is there no easier way to fix this thing? Right now the constant nagging of HTC that reminds me to do the update is the thing I really want to get rid off.

If I'd have to set up this thing again, I'd rather flash it a GPE image, because I cannot stand the ugliness of Sense any longer (and the new Sense update seems to come, if at all, with M next spring). Is this GPE conversion with an unlocked, but not s-off device possible at all?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
HTC backup will keep track of contacts and apps that have been installed. It doesn't take long to restore these things. Only the data would need replaced. Take a Nandroid backup first. As for GPE, I have no idea about what's required, I have never looked that direction. I'm happy with Sense. The only other way to get rid of the constant update messages is to flash a custom ROM that doesn't notify you of OTA updates. ARHD 43.0 for example. I've been using that ROM since day one. Used ARHD for my HOX also.

Guys, I need help recovering my One M8.

I received a notification that there was an update for my One M8, so I flashed back the stock recovery, booted back into Android(Sense) and downloaded and applied the update. On reboot my phone just looked at me with a black screen, I went into fastboot and did a factory reset which did not solve my problem :(. So now I am wondering what my options are, do I:

A: Flash TWRP, copy any ROM onto SD card and install and boot?

B: Download the 09 zip file from here: https://translate.google.co.za/tran...mmlung-ruus-otas-backups-t301918/&prev=search and apply that? My recovery version is newer than the file by one step so I should be good with this option?

Hi Folks,

I have a Verizon one M8 (on verizon), and It's been running a CleanROM (android 4.4, I think) for a while and it generally worked well. But I flashed cyanogenmod 12.1 yesterday (cm-12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO23A-m8), so android 5.1 now, and it can no longer reliably keep a cellular connection - it alternates between "no sim card / emerbency calls only" and "verizon wireless".

I know it does connect part of the time, because I've had a couple of calls, received one SMS, and gotten a little bit of data over 1X. But I just tried to make a call and got the no service message, and most of the time I get no connection when trying to use cellular data.

I think the issue is that my phone has been rooted for quite a while and is running a really old baseband. However, I've poked around for a while and can't figure out exactly what to install to get a newer one without loosing root/S-off/etc.

Here's the output from fastboot getvar all:

I'd prefer not to have to go back to stock and then root it again, but I guess I can if that's the only option.

I don't have any really important data on the phone as I backed up my data yesterday and then completely wiped it during the CM12, so that' isn't a concern.install.

Any advice on where to go from here?

[UPDATE]

I flashed http://www.invisiblek.org/firmware/m8/m8vzw_1.12.20.1211_modem.zip and wiped my cache, but the issue persists :( I see the new version in `fastboot getvar all` output, although the about menu in android now reports that the baseband is unknown.

[UPDATE 2]

I switched to the latest nightly build of CM 12.1 (cm-12.1-20150925-NIGHTLY-m8) and things seem a little better. I get a brief "no service" message after rebooting but then it connects and seems to be stable so far. It shows my baseband version in the about menu again.

So I'll consider this one to be tentatively solved, although I'd still be interested in getting a newer radio that doesn't require loosing my S-OFF and such.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Einwod:
First, you cannot lose s-off just like that. You have to send a command to change it.

Second, remove your serial and IMEI numbers from your original post, they can be used against you.

Third, you need to update your firmware, it's old and 99% this is your problem. Being s-off firmware is easy to fix. Search for Vomers guide.

Fourth, update your TWRP version to the latest before you flash the new firmware, then your version main will show in getvar all and OS on bootloader screen.

The first time, it ended with "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)", however the second flash appeared successful but.. now my phone is back to telling me "no sim card, emergency calls only" :(
