[AT&T HTC One (M8)] deviousconundrum:
I already tried Sunshine, it is incompatible with my rom, and I can't get stock gpe to work on my phone. I need to find a way to get back to stock while s-on so I can s-off. But it's like to get back to stock I need to be s-off. I tried changing my cid too, and that won't work either. Really running out of options here.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mirzatron:
i'm in the same boat as you.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mirzatron:
in that thread it says "This guide assumes you are S-Off otherwise how did you get here." We have s-on, so i don't think it helps.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
It says that "otherwise how did you get here" for a reason. You need s-off to do the full GPE conversion. Are you sure you did the full GPE conversion by RUU; or did you just flash a GPE ROM (which is possible without converting)?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mirzatron:
I'm not sure because I received this phone like this, I do know its the skydragon GPE. Is their a way to check?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Boot into bootloader. If the phone has been fully converted to GPE, the bootloader screen will be black. If its white, it still has the Sense hboot.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mirzatron:
It is still white.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Then just flash a stock ROM to try s-off. Or run the appropriate RUU for your hboot/radio.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mirzatron:
So I can just flash a stock sense ROM and try s-off once its flashed?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
That is almost

exactly

what I just typed above.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mirzatron:
It just seems to good to be true, I've been searchjng all over for a solution and it turns out to be so simple.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Stock ROM and kernel is needed for firewater to work. But that

doesn't guarantee

it will work. It most likely

won't

work, as firewater has been patched some time ago. Although, it doesn't hurt to at least try, as its free (and a small number of folks still get it to work from time to time). And I can guarantee that on most custom ROMs, firewater will fail, so there is no point in even trying unless you return to a stock (or close to stock) ROM.

Try firewater several times, if it fails you need to use sunshine s-off. Stock ROM and kernel are also needed for sunshine, so you have to get back to stock in any case.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mirzatron:
Ok sounds good, i'll post my progress later today.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mirzatron:
ok so ive tried flashing the viper rom and now my phone is stuck on the htc logo on start up.

Edit:I've gotten back into recovery, i will try flashing again. Is the flashing process any different if i have s-on?

Edit: Ive succesfully flashed viper rom but sunshine doesnt work on it.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Mirzatron:
i dont know what to do now, i flashed viper rom which is near sense and sunshine still doesnt work.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] deviousconundrum:
My bootloader screen is black. What can I do?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] deviousconundrum:
Try Android Revolution HD, seems to be the closest to stock,they even have stock odexed version.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Viper is not remotely close to stock, and I'm not sure why you think it is.

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

This is the way to go. In fact the odexed/deodexed ROMs posted on the ARHD websites are not even the custom ARHD ROM, but just stock ROMs.

Root explorer is the root browser I use if it helps
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] deviousconundrum:
Well, nandroid backups usually only work on the recovery that was used to make them. Also, even if you have the backup folder, sometimes the recovery won't recognize it. To solve this create a back up, and then put the nandroid backup into the folder, and it should work now that the recovery has memory of the path.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jball:
He already made a backup so he has the correct directory .he just needed guidance on how and where to place it.

Hi,

yesterday i rooted my galaxy note 3 SM N9005. I uninstall some apps like evernote ...

Lately i tried to crypt the phone, unfortunately the process never completes !

Now the phone starts ask me the password, it is validated but the phone just restart.

I can t make a factory reset because i have encrypt the phone

Is there a way to HARD RESET my phone ?

I prefer asking than going on and doing worse.

Data are not important as they are completely saved.

THX
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutrondev:
[MENTION=3677490]cratosgow[/MENTION] Yes there is a way to hard reset your device.

1. Pull battery out from the phone. Wait 10 seconds. Pull it back.

2. While holding POWER UP + HOME SCREEN BUTTON press POWER BUTTON (so all 3 together). Wait until it turns on with the NOTE 3 screen. Stop pressing all buttons.

3. You are now in recovery mode.

4. Navigating with VOLUME DOWN BUTTON go to wipe data/factory reset and press OK (POWER BUTTON). Do the same and press YES. Wait until done.

5. Do the same but with clear cache partition.

5. Press ok for reboot system now.

6. You are done with HARD RESET.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cratosgow:

That helps a lot

I feel stupid as i hold volume down and not up ... Moreover i read a lot of thread saying the same that you but I was stuborn with volume dowm !

It sems to be okay

Thank you for being that quick
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutrondev:
You are welcome mate I am glad you are fixed. Volume Down + Power + Home is for Download mode. Usually volume down combos get you in download mode/ emergency etc in all devices. Don't mess there if you don't know what you are doing ^.^. Have a great day.

Apologies if its a repeat post but I've been searching and could not find an answer.

How can I increase the memory on my XDA Pro. The memory remaining is showing 0.27 MB and it is constantly coming up with a "Storage Memory is Critically Low" message.

I store most of my work on the SD Card anyway. I've tried looking for large files to delete from the Pro but cant find anything.

Please help.

Thanks a lot everyone.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kinkybookworm:
It sounds to me as if you have used up your storeage memory with applications. Assess your usage priority and move the programs that you don't use a lot of to your memory card.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nmiah:
How would I do that?

Is it just a case of copy and paste?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
Also using something like Clear Temp (freeware) http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1489 will clear away all of those pesky temp files that take up all of your space.

You'll probably find you regain lots of space by doing this.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rabangus:
Search the forum for UPX - you can comress your apps to free up space and many of them will run faster too
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kelford:
For moving programs, no. The best thing would be to uninstall from main memory and reinstall on a storage card. If there's any data related to an app, you'd want to back that up first so you don't lose it. I have a 4GB card in my Universal and have most of my third party apps installed on it to save the device memory. I just leave it in all the time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nmiah:
Thank you all.

I finally managed to find out that I had over 10 MB in the temporary internet files, deleted all those and everything seems fine.

Also, managed to find out a lot of useful stuff as mentioned by you all in the above post.

Thank you all once again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] LeeJS:
This is all great advice, but how do you tell which apps or data are located in Main memory? Is there some way to tell?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0mahawk:
Hello everyone!

after installing the latest Cloudy G3 rom for my international G2 (D802), I noticed that the LTE option is missing.

I tried to fix this, simply by following the instructions provided by the ROM developer Cloudyfa -> here

after the reboot, the GSM\WCDMA\LTE auto option appeared in the mobile networks settings, but they didn't stick after another reboot, it went back to GSM/WCDMA auto.

I tried the fix posted -> here, only to find after another reboot that the LTE option was missing again.

so I tried this instead:

instead of changing the value ro.build.target_country=COM to something else like suggested before, I changed the value ro.build.target_operator=OPEN to -> ro.build.target_operator=GLOBAL

and it worked like a charm!

Now after every reboot the LTE option is available and it sticks!

I hope this will help others having the same issue.

Good Luck!

I followed a guide that would make me restore my HTC M8 to stock but the RUU failed and now my phone keeps rebooting in fastboot.

Any error code given when the RUU failed? As long as its the right RUU for your version (or you have s-off) there shouldn't be a reason for it not to work, so try again as mentioned above. Or try to download again, as maybe the file was corrupted.

Hey everyone. While browsing Youtube I came across this beautiful homescreen and I feel it to be pretty gorgeous on my G3 :p so felt like sharing it with you all.

It's a sort of hectic DIY thing but is definitely worth it.

Here is the video tutorial for the setup. All the downloads required are available in the video description. Its pretty easy to follow.

[YOUTUBE]YROQp5MtsAc[/YOUTUBE]

Here is my final setup :

​

It requires photoshopping, but don't worry I installed and used Photoshop for the first time and I could do it with ease. ;):D

You can use any tile/image/widget so many cool combinations are possible. Also I am sure the awesome guys here can bring in more ideas.

So give it a shot, if you have any doubts clear here and don't forget to share you homescreen here :victory::good:

[HTC One X+] sam@xda29:
I get to know bcoz before 3 days green vertical lines where coming..

And that problem wasn't permanent..when I restart the phone , camera was working fine..

But after 2-3 clicks it was coming to that green line state.

Then I thought it's software issue..

So I flashed the ROM again which I am using from the 1st day.

But no luck.

Then at last went to 4-5 mobile repairing shops..and they told that rear camera or software problem.

Software is not there thus it means it should be hardware problem.

Let me know.
[HTC One X+] Optimus:
well i think this is software issue. which rom are u using?

since htc build quality is very good.
[HTC One X+] Epifistu:
Did you already try to flash another rom and see if it's still broken?
[HTC One X+] frrobin:
many roms have camera issues. dont just go and buy a different camera before you know what is going on in your device. just try some stable custom rom. like android revolution HD, paranoid android, venom...etc. i ask u to try android revolution HD and check your camera. if the problem still occurs then it might time to change your hardware.

WATER DAMAGE MDA[/B]:D

(My ENGLISH may not be good enough)

I had slept while I was taking a bath. My mda compact 2 had spent more than 15 min under water (probably best result as for XDA :) ).

When a had been awaken - the diod was slighty flashing, but there had been no other signs of life.

Here is what I did (or had done) and it (had) worked:

I:

1. removed battery

2. dried the phone with towel

3. searched the net for info

4 used a hairdryier to dry the PPC (not recommended by some authors if you can follow the next steps immidiatly ;exept the fith step of course;)

5. had a good night sleep

6. went to shop to buy T6 torx screwdriver - to disasseble the PPC

7. disassembled the xda according to the manual found on the forum

8. here is a terrrible step; put the MAIN BOARD into a demineralised water for

15 min ( remember to shake it very often)

9. put it into 96% ETANOL (bought at "alcohol site" in a supermarket) for 2

hours (shaking it from time to time)

10. dried the main bord and OTHER parts of the MDA for 1 day (sun and

fresh air) To REMEMBER: it is considered to be a basic error to put the battery to the xda too early).

11. Put the battery back into the phone - it didn't work - that was a nightmare

12. Waited 1 day and put the battery into the phone again - it didn't work again

13. Dissasebled the phone and brushed carefully the mainboard with the soft toothbrus - suprisingly there was a lot of contamination (gray-white powder)

14. reassebled the charmer, put in the battery - it worked :D

15 i couldn't believe- it worked

16 sk banchmarks are even better

Hermes 200 under water rescued!

Hello,

My bag with my Hermes200 accidentally fell into a fresh clear water river during a treck in the (lovely) Greek mountains...

I managed to pick up the bag at some point but it was completelly submersed and filled with water ... and so was my Hermes...

I feared that that was the end of it but i tried to save it any way ... and it worked !

1) I prayed to the Hi-tech gods really hard !

2) I immediately took of the batery and everything else i could without a screwdriver (basically the sim card)

3) I opened the keyboard and while firmly wolding it i started shaking it until the last drop seemed to have left the poor hermes...

4) I put it to dry open as it was under the sun

5) I wrapped it with a piece of cloth that was still dry and continued trecking ...

6) At home i took it out again and let it dry for a day ...

7) I then tried to put the battery back and pressed the reset with the pen... it only gave me an orange light and then it switched off...

8) I let it dry another day in sun where possible open without battery

9) I put the battery back and the screen lit up in very psychedelic colours but it seemed to boot (again with the reset). So I took off the battery again and let it dry some more ...

10) The third day it worked just fine ... just the keyboard still presents glitches

when I press Backspace it is giving me a "y", the y gives me a "backspace and y" the h gives an "rh" the r and "rh" as well the b an "fb" the f an "fb" as well ... very weird circuitry ... I hope in the next few days when the Hermes will be completely dry that it will come back to normal again ...

So there is a Hi-Tech god after all ... maybe it is Hermes!
