HTC one m8 calls/net connection dropping

Hi......

I brought HTC One m8 Sprint H/K phone from ebay. I asked from seller to unlock it by contacting Sprint. He unlocked it and send it to me. While I am using it I saw there was only GSM signals only when I connected to the internet. I followed below steps.

Root it

Flash insertcoin custom ROM (with s-on)

Nothings change

After I followed below thread

http://xdaforums.com/spri...tries-t2847461

I got HSPA signals. But the problem is after i connect to the internet it's disconnected. Voice signals are also the same. During a call call disconnected. (But signal strength shows the same)

Please help me to sort out this issue.....

What region and carrier are you attempting to use this phone?

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

adb push a ROM to internal storage. Or if you have a card reader, use your computer to put a ROM on a removable MicroSD. Insert card into the phone, and flash in TWRP.

adb sideload can be a little finicky. adb push or using a card reader is generally more reliable.

Also, in the future don't wipe anything, if you aren't 100% sure of what the result will be.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

Signature verify fail means you either don't have the bootloader properly relocked (but it sounds like you do, but verify in bootloader it says RELOCKED) or have the wrong RUU (either wrong carrier, or wrong version - you can't "downgrade" with s-on). What hboot number do you currently have on the phone, and what RUU are you trying to run?

"fastboot oem unlock" is not a valid command. Don't guess fastboot commands, you can do horrible things to your phone with fastboot with improper commands. You need to unlock the bootloader again with a valid bin token. To unlock the bootloader again, just go through the unlock process on HTCDev.com to get a new token.

Hello, I have an HTC M8 at & t unlocked, but the 3G signal is unstable, is there any way to change the radio to work properly 850/2100?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'm not sure from your description, but it sounds like data and voice connect at first, then disconnect? If so, this doesn't sound like SIM lock is the issue.

I suspect you may have some network incompatibility due to the fact that the Sprint variant is a CDMA/GSM phone. Did you verify that the Sprint version fully supports the 2G, 3G (and LTE if applicable) bands that your local network uses?

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

The AT&T version supports 3G 850 and 2100 MHz out of the box.

You can update the phone by RUU to see if a newer radio helps. Otherwise, you need to s-off the phone if you want to try to flash other radios manually.

If you are getting "cannot load file" error in fastboot, its either you didn't put your TWRP .img file in the right place (same folder wherever fastboot executable is located); or you renamed the file wrong. If using Windows, its a fairly common mistake to have the file extensions hidden (usually default in Windows) which causes a good number of folks to erroneously name the file "recovery.img.img" without knowing it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] costasge:
do i need to change the name from windows? because what i did is to change the name from XXX to XXX.img
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If the file showed no extension before, and you added ".img" (no quotes) then you

absolutely

have the problem that the file is now named recovery.img.img (or whatever you named it besides "recovery").

The problem is that the file is now in reality named "recovery.img.img" (no quotes) even though Windows isn't displaying it that way.

And you are running the fastboot command for a file "recovery.img" (no quotes) which doesn't actually exist. Therefore, fastboot can't load the file.

Turn off the option to hide file extensions in Windows, as it causes nothing but confusion. You'll probably also see what I mean the moment you turn that option off. The option is at (depending your Windows version) Control Panel>Folder Options>View, than uncheck the option "hide extensions for known file types".

In short, yes you need to change the file name. Or at least, it needs to match the file name you type into the fastboot command. It doesn't matter what the file is called, as long as you type the same name when you issue the command. For all fastboot cares, you can name it tweedledum.img, as long as you use the command: fastboot flash recovery tweedledum.img

recovery.img.img might even work, as long as you type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.img

Although I'm not completely sure if having two periods is going to mess things up. Best to keep things simple and not confuse things.

Hello guys! I am going to root tonight. Yesterday bought the M8, coming from S4 that is really easier to root I see. I have some questions for continuing with the process. First how to know which version is my M8? I see there's few as international, sprint, att. I don't know which is mine. I will use the all in one tool of hasoon with that I will take custom recovery too during the root. After that can I straight flash custom roms with my phone custom recovery or I have to do something else first. In the tutorial of hasoon is explained a way for flashing custom kernel, rom and boot image or something like that. It scared me more and don't know what exactly to do. Please help! Thanks in advance!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Where did you buy it from? First off, you should know. I don't ever recommend buying a phone without knowing what region/carrier its intended for. Second, I don't recommend buying the Sprint or Verizon variants unless you are on a CDMA network (yes it should work on GSM networks, but no good reason to buy a CDMA version of the M8). Third, I don't recommend buying US variants for use in other countries for a variety of reasons (more locked down, more bloat, etc.).

AT&T and Verizon versions have their company logo on the back of the device. Sprint and T-Mobile versions do not, I believe (although the Sprint Harmon Kardon version has the HK logo on back).

You can do adb getvar all to read CID (if you post the getvar data, be sure to delete your IMEI or serial number). Although if the phone is used, that may have been modified.

I personally don't recommend using the toolkit. In addition to it installing a very old version of TWRP (with known bugs which have since been fixed on newer builds), you are robbing yourself of a valuable learning experience. A monkey can use a toolkit to root. But it leaves you in a poor position if/when things go wrong when modding the phone, and you don't know how to do basic things like adb push a ROM to the phone, or re-install custom recovery with fastboot. There are lots of good guides on this forum on how to root and mod the phone "manually". I suggest at least a couple hours or reading and learning before you do

anything.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

Your firmware needs to support the ROM your are flashing. Otherwise you need to update your firmware, or else you will have severe bugs like broken WiFi. If you don't know what that means, you need to learn and research, as I've already recommended.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
In that case, get adb working on your computer. Then do adb getvar all and this will tell you your CID (amongst a great many other important things) which will tell you what M8 variant you have. Side note, remove your IMEI and serial number if you post getvar data.

But I'm thinking its one of the unbranded "international" CIDs.

It was already SIM unlocked it, and you unlocked it again? That doesn't make a lot of sense. What method did you use to SIM unlock? If the phone was working fine on GSM; SIM lock was not the problem and it seems like you may have caused a bigger problem than you started with.

I asked before if you know the Sprint version even fully supports your local network (including support for your carrier's HSPA band), but you didn't answer. The CDMA versions (Sprint & Verizon) of the M8 is different hardware from the GSM versions, and a different radio can't be flashed to add band support.

Its hard to help when you have spread the relevant info across 4 different threads. Make one post/thread and stick to it. Otherwise it just gets too confusing. I see in one of your posts, you even go so far as to say your CID numbers is listed in another post

without even linking to that post

! Seriously, it would have just been faster to type your CID or just say what version (Sprint), than to type what you did. And other users have given answer to your questions, but you seem to be missing them because you are jumping around in different threads. Its literally taken more time for me to figure out what your problem even is, than it would to fix it.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What is your current (stock) software number?

If you are not currently on Lollipop firmware, you need to update firmware to run most Lollipop ROMs. This is the most common reason why folks want s-off (although you can also update firmware by OTA with s-on).

Other reasons for s-off include modifying hboot (to remove red text on modded phones), SIM unlock, flashing radios, and a few other things. Otherwise s-off isn't "mandatory".

Also, if you are trying to s-off by firewater, it was discontinued and no longer works (online service). sunshine s-off is the only way.

Help request for unbricking the Verizon M8

Hi, I have a very strange behaving phone.

The phone boots up but I can't do any changes to Data partition.

Factory reset from phone menu doesn't work (Data are still there), Factory reset from Hboot doesn't work, factory reset from recovery doesn't work as well - all those are performed but the phone boots up same into full data phone.

If I install or delete any app they keep installed or deleted just until reboot. Once rebooted all uninstalled apps appear again all installed apps disappear.

The phone looks like frozen in the same state - as it's like I can't change data partition.

I have tried to update stock RUU. If I update with the same build it all passes but after restart everything is the same. If I try to update more recent stock build it just fails.

Impossible to install any other recovery as bootloader is locked - and as verizon CID can't be unlocked by htcdev.

When the phone boots up normally it is unusable as it keeps crashing (usually once more data is written to data partition - I can't even run sunshine as it crash always before it performs it's magic).

info from bootloader:

*** LOCKED ***

M8_WLV PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-3.16.0.0000

How did you root, if you aren't on custom recovery? Or did you flash stock recovery after rooting?

As long as no system files have been altered by root ("stock" ROM) and stock recovery, you will get OTA. Root itself is okay (although you will lose root after OTA, and need to root again), unlocked bootloader is okay.

Ive been having this issue ever since Apple upgraded to iOS 6 & 7. My girlfriend and some of my friends are iPhone users, and sometimes they send me messages but I receive them late or even never receive them at all. Sometimes I get their text that got mixed with a text that they sent sometime before (even from convos that are days or weeks old) in the SAME message (WTF?). I event get spammed by the same message 5+ times, example http://i.imgur.com/ij8GtPu.jpg which is annoying and ridiculous!

Ive searched the web and did not find a single solution, only thousands of people complaining with no fix. The only solution to this is to use another chat app with the other person, which is really hard to convince someone to do that. Especially Apple fanboys and fangirls like my GF. I suggested Whatsapp or Hangouts and even suggested her to disable iMessage (there's a feature that lets you disable the iMessage feature so the iMessage app only sends SMS to the users) which my GF denied also. -_-

TLDR: I dont get texts and people wait for me to respond and think that Im ignoring them or I get spammed. How to fix pls?

Edit #1: I've never been an Apple user so "disconnecting" my number from iMessage by sending a "STOP" text to 48369 probably wont help. BUT I did try it today and we'll see if that works lol...

Padlock / Pattern Lock problem

Good day,

First time post. I hope I'm at the right place.

SPECS : HTC One M8 Android 5.0.1 / Sense 6.0 / Nova Launcher Prime / Screen Off and Lock App

PROB (A): Since the Lollipop update this is what happens when I turn on my phone

from lock

:

1. I see the padlock that I have to swipe up

2. I see the pattern dots to enter my pattern to unlock

PROB (B): Since the Lollipop update this is what happens when I turn on my phone

if unlocked i.e. just screen off

:

1. I see the padlock that I have to swipe up

Before Lollipop the phone went straight to Pattern from lock screen or strait to home screen from screen off.

I looked everywehre (I think) to avoid seeing the padlock I have to swipe up. I did not have this before. I do not have it on my M7, GS4 and on my One+ One. This "extra step" of having to swipe up the "padlock" is driving me crazy.
