You shouldn't have to put up with crap like this.

I want your post read more so I am def. quoting it, and in the time, going to give my opinion, as I'm pretty pissed that someone considers what you guys provide scamming.

I personally thank you for all that you do for us, for everything, not even in just the HTC forums, but for Android..

Please know that one *to NOT get banned..* umm, person, doesn't speak for the group. Those of us that do appreciate what you do, and understand that it's very expensive and to be honest I think $25 is cheap, (I recall that being the price, when I saw it and felt that to be VERY fair, I know I'd personally pay more.) and I think you should of been charging sooner as in those root threads no one ever looks back but it doesn't seem like you guys get what you were promised. I bet you guys only got what? 30%-50%?

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but arggg..

I am hoping more people read and understand why charging is necessary.. especially if we want to all continue to have root in the future. We are blessed to have this option. Think about the price difference of buying the developer edition.. Sure, you can buy a device (if you are ready for contract upgrade), sell it and use that towards developer edition but I bet you end up paying more than $25 in the end.

Sh!t, I sure as hell know that if an option to unlock the Samsung S5 bootloader for $25 was around, I'd probably be on that device.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Konceptz804:
Went from a Galaxy Nexus, to a iPhone5s, to a Galaxy S4 ,and now to the HTC m8 last thursday. After 3 days, I can safely say this is hands down the best phone I've ever had. Running completely stock 4.4.3 this thing is fast, great battery life, i can have 10+ apps open and no slow down. Just make sure you enable the ART runtime and your golden.

I was going to look into rooting, flashing this thing but honestly its been so great I dont think I will until I get bored.....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
I've been running CleanROM for the past several months, and I just have to say, you'll be very happy with it. It's not ENTIRELY as debloated as I would prefer, but that's easily fixed with TiBu (and I'm picky anyway, so your mileage may vary).

And as others have said, it's still a great device. I got mine at launch, and I couldn't be happier.

Disclaimer: The screen is hard (if not impossible) to see when you have polarized sunglasses on, so FYI. And it collects fingerprints like that's it's job.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
Actually, there is a display panel lottery with the M8 regarding the sunglasses issue. My device exhibits this issue, but my friend's does not. His is also a little cooler color temperature wise. However this is a good point to bring up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jamesakasparks:
I agree that these developers deserve to get paid for their skill and time. It's just a shame that there are so many cheap ass people that wouldn't donate to the cause and help them out if the people that could have would have then people like me could enjoy an m8 instead of Hateing it. I'm about to sell this phone and go back to my l90. without root the Verizon version of this phone is so horrible and dont even get me started on the stock rom...hasn't HTC heard of a long press menu. It saddens me to see such a beautul piece of hardware reduced to such squalor by the Rom and provider, knowing that the ability to awaken it is just out of my wallets reach.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Yeah, I've heard that once before, but only from one person, so I wasn't confident in the info. Good to know it's actually the case. And now I'm annoyed... >_<
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] k.electron:
personally i think jcase and beaups have the right model for this process.

bounty threads are nice and all, but people promise and don't pay and there is so much heartburn. releasing the app with payments baked in for unlocks makes the model so much more transparent, automatic and accountable. now devs can put their hard work into releasing their exploits and get paid in a clear way from us freeloaders without them having to wonder if their efforts will break even for them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jimyv:
hey

Hey I had to go the sunshine route also it did not bother me a bit and it worked absolutely wonderful I appreciate the ability to be able to even unlock this phone . The only thing that does suck is I did not do a better physical cosmetic inspection of my M8 before I paid for the sunshine . The upper camera is glued off-center to the case and drives me insane they are sending another one this time I will be sure to more thoroughly inspect it before spending for another unlock .. Believe me I have gotten a lot of things for free from the site and I have no problem chopping off a piece to have a fully unlocked cell phone on Verizon it rocks.. As far as these developers go I know that I have used Jcase exploits over on the Kindle fire HDX ... The device which severely saddens me I had bought two more of them hearing of the Bootloader unlock .... Waited and waited then heard of that bad news . Which I understand all that it just does not make it suck any less .. I would've been happy to pay in a similar manner as this works .. Damn the Man and the fine print. Thanks again jcase and beaups, and all such developers that devote their free time that allows us to enjoy our playtime since this is my first HTC device time to learn how to return to stock and S-on LOL uhg oh but anyway ,i love this phone, coming from Loki,verizon32gbS4 this has much better radio reception and clarity in places where the S4 would not pick up at all and yes the speakers rock. . .

It makes me uncomfortable seeing you have to explain yourself, you shouldn't have to! Anyone who complains do not deserve it cause they would never donate anyway. I feel like it is way worth a good donation and having it free lets us off the hook, we have had plenty for free it is way past time to give back! I thought it felt great to pay the $25 and when I had to I couldn't help but not think twice! Anyone who can afford this phone can afford your great contribution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cpcsystems:
I am currently rooted on ME7 running 4.2.2. Is there any advantages/disadvantages to updating to a rooted kitkat? Since the bootloader is locked for both, I realize CM 11 is not a possibility right now. But, should I just sit where I am right now or are there major improvements that I am missing out on.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5607403:
Hey guys,

I think I might have bricked my phone. I've installed yesterday a new firmware (device is s off, rooted). Version 6.09.401.5. So far so good. Downloaded a new ROM. Wiped everything including sdcard in twrp, then tried to push the rom to the sdcard. Also worked. But, I can't install it. Tried 100 different recoveries. It keeps me saying that it can't mount /system. Tried another firmware, but this time it failed (don't know why, it hang on the RUU screen, and windows didn't detect my m7 anymore). So i tried to boot in the bootloader (I think the firmware update failed..) I get the normal bootloader screen, but now fastboot isn't working anymore. My phone get's recognized by adb in recovery, but nothing other than that. i tried to install another rom again, but this time it sais that /cache /system etc. are unmountable. What have I done? Can someone help me or did I just brick the device?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5607403:
Yeah, this means I can't get by no means inside the RUU environment, so I can't flash a new firmware. The phone doesnt get recogdnized by Windows in the bootloader, however the bootloader screen is normal. So can't use fastboot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5607403:
Okay, little update guys. Picked up a Windows 8 machine (mine was running on 8.1) So fastboot works. Tried to flash firmware, but now it sais remote: not allowed. Any idea's? Tried 2 different firmware packages.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batuhanxtx:
Alright! Got it fixed. Here's the solution:

Thanks to Windows 8.0, not 8.1, i was able to flash a firmware, so that windows recognized the phone again. Then, picked up a flashable firmware zip (~1GB) and flashed it via the standard procedure. I think that that repartitioned the whole device, so that the original rom could be installed via the firmware.

My phone is rescued again, thanks xda!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Did you just have a 6 post conversation with yourself and change your name on the 7th post ?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remusator:
Hello, I have noob question regarding bootloader.

Recently, i restored my Nexus 7 do full stock, unlocked bootloader, flashed twrp, and flashed SuperSU from within TWRP.

Now my N7 is running fine, and I have a question.

If I understood corectly, "the only" security risk of having unlocked bootloader is, that anyone can steal my device, boot whatever he wants via fastboot and then download a copy of my files.... Locked bootloader disables only fastboot related features.

Now the question is - is it worth it ? I already have custom recovery installed in my nexus. Anyone can anyway flash anything via the custom recovery and then download copy of my data.

So is it worth it ? And are there any downsides of running unlocked bootloader along with custom recovery ?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyoffacliff:
If you have a rooted device and your data is not encrypted, anyone with physical acses to the device can obtain it if they know what they're doing. If you flash back stock recovery and lock the boot-loader, that would help security, but since the device is rooted, bypassing the lock screen could be possible under certain conditions.

If you want to be rooted and have important data stored, I would recommend updating to the latest version on stock Android (currently 4.4.4) and enable encryption on the device and set a good password. Just make sure you keep backups, because if the device fails, recovery will be impossible.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
If they know anything, or how to use Google search.... They can simply unlock the bootloader again.

No, they won't get your data...so if that's your only concern, then sure, lock it.

As said above, if you encrypt the device and have issues..... Your data is gone for sure. Cause you'll need to unlock the bootloader to get around the encryption and fix your device. Data gone.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxmax:
So i took out the Sim from the Iphone 6 im returning and popped it into this bad boy. Curious as to how you guys are setting up the phone so you get the correct LTE speeds. Im barely getting 9down whereas my gf's galaxy in the same room is getting 20+ down. wonder if i did anything wrong
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dew.man:
It depends on location. I've seen consistent 50+ down and 20+ up with T-Mobile and default APN.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxmax:
Nah something is def wrong. Phone is barely usable without wifi. What APN settings are you guys using for tmo?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
fast.t-mobile.com it should also give you the settings automatically if you just press the "Internet settings" button.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxmax:
Thats what i been running. Could it have something to do with the sim? Was i supposed to get a sim for an unlocked phone? Urrgh so frustrating
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
That's pretty slow, your gf has the tmo also? Pop her sim in your phone and compare. The sim shouldn't matter though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxmax:
shes got a galaxy s4 so that wont work. however i still got the iphone 6 around. when i put the sim in that phone i get regular LTE speeds.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
Oh, I just noticed in your speedtest result you're on H, not LTE. Under "preferred network mode" do you have "4G (preferred)" enabled? If you're in a border coverage area it could be that your phone is dropping you down to HSPA+ instead of staying on LTE.

For a test, go to the dialer and do *#*#4636#*#* then go to Phone Info and change it to LTE Only and test it to see if it stays on LTE and what kind of speeds you get, by default it's set to "LTE/GSM auto PRL" so if the LTE connection isn't strong enough it's going to drop you down to H+.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxmax:
These Are my options under preffered:

wcdma only, gsm only, wcdma (preffered)/gsm and 4g(preffered)/wcdma/gsm. i dont see lte in the list

per your test, when I switch to LTE only in phone options the I lose all bars and signal totally craps out.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
So when you switched to LTE Only, after a second or 2 you didn't get a 4G symbol above the signal bar? Do you ever see 4G? Mine switches to 4G within about 1 second of switching to LTE Only.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxmax:
negative. just all bars gone and a big red x. you have this phone on t mobile also? did you do the us firmware update?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
Yea, I'm using tmo. My phone is running 23.0.A.2.105
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxmax:
I got 2.93 maybe which one is 105??
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slypenguin0:
I was worried during my first day of owning the phone because my Z1c showed LTE above the bars and now this Z3c shows 4G. I was worried that 4G != LTE.

Is there any tweek tool can work in ART dosent with Xposed？There is a rom worked on m7vzw in ART .But there is no tweek tool like viper or sensen tool can be worked on the rom,anyone have the same tool to worked on it?/
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
No there isn't a tweak tool for art and xposed can't work because it relies on ROMs that run in dalvik only. Tweaks have to be hard coded into art based ROMs for them to work and the tweaks have to be art compatible.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kurtextrem:
Yeah... It happened again... a newbie killed his "esf" folder. I need some help.

So, I don't really know where the esf folder is on the Galaxy Nexus. Is it in /dev/block/platform (...) or is it /factory? I have a maguro GNex and this ROM http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-fml-fork-life-06-05-2014-v2-t2764064/. I got my IMEI number on the original device package and I'm clueless what to do now... The only thing I want is to connect to the mobile network again ;_;

What I've tried so far:

http://www.droidviews.com/backup-and-restore-lost-imei-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-without-root/ - Can't call that "number" as not connected to mobile network

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-recover-imei-9-steps-t1264021 - Not sure if I can do that

ESF Professional - can't detect "PIT" (no idea what that is, but the GNex does not seem to have that)

Is there any hope left? :_.

More "useful" info:

- I'm not sure if I actually killed my esf. I flashed a new ROM while having the plane mode on. Could that be it?

- I wiped /data and /cache first, rebootet and can remember everything was working fine and then I flashed the ROM

- When I restart my Gnex with plane mode enabled it comes up again with this: Plane mode is on, but if I press the "on" hard-button it tells me "Plane mode is DISABLED". What?

- Baseband is missing as well

- /data/radio/log is empty, /data/radio has cg_aurt_sel, cfg_usb_sel

- /factory has /bluetooth, /imei, /imei/mps_code.dat, /lost+found, /wifi, hdcp.keys, nv.log, nv_data.bin, nv_data.bin.md5, wv.keys

- /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/efs (/dev/block/mmcblk0p3) has the file "efs" - 0 bytes long

Turns out that all was because I've flashed "toro" instead of "maguro". Doh! :)

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dgl6y7:
I just renamed nfc.m7wls.so to nfc.defaulf.so and NFC started working immediately. I rebooted anyway just to make sure but it works.

Smokin901 posted this same fix back around version 6, it worked then and still works now. I wonder how come it can't be incorporated into the kernel installer.

I choose not to and suggest to have two files nfc.default.so and nfc.m7wls.so because if you switch to different kernel nfc will be be broken again.

Did you select higher frequency during install Max by default is 1.7

If cpu is on max frequency very often then something is keeping it busy check your apps.

I read that Bluetooth is supposed to be working on this kernel. I have had no issues with anything other than no call audio with the bluetooth. Medias works fine. Love the kernel other than that. Is there a fix i am not aware of for this? Would be great to use my headset.

Thank you for the suggestion, tried it. Same issues, im going to try a different rom later to see if that has something to do with it. Although it workedfine on this rom until i used the kenel. Love it so far minus this one hiccup.

James

UPDATE:

I tried using the newest version of the SkyDragon Rom and the BT worked fine. Then I went ahead and added the Elementalx 17.2.3 Kernel, and right back to no call audio. But the kernel did fix a few other issues including the WIFI Tether app not working properly, minus the fact that it wont shut down the HostAPD. I have to manully shut that down to get it to restart, but works fine. And I really like the wake gestures. I am not sure why the BT wont work on my device but I thought I would share what I know so far. Thanks for the great work so far, I see it just keeps getting tweaked and made better. Keep it up.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dgl6y7:
Edit: after a lengthy cycle of trying to fix my call audio problem it seems that the nfc fix is breaking it. I dont make calls often so when i notice the problem i have been reflashing rom then kernel to fix it. I check the call audio and it works. Then i do the nfc fix and reboot. Then call audio is broken again.

Any ideas?

Also reflashing the radio didn't help

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dgl6y7:
Edit2: it now looks like the NFC fix is just a coincidence. After reflashing the ROM and the kernel I have call audio on first boot. As soon as I restart call audio is broken again. Am i screwing up something with the double restart after flashing this kernel? I know the instructions say wait for it to fully boot before restarting. I was considering the phone fully booted when the c1, c2, and c3 went to idle. Should I wait longer?
