Go to HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader. The process is self-explanatory (just follow the website instructions). There is a writeup on the following guide, if you need help. But honestly, if you can follow instruction, the process is self-explanatory as I mentioned: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

Then, to backup the stock ROM and recovery, follow the instructions listed on the following thread under "How do i backup the stock HTC recovery?" : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

This process will boot custom recovery without actually flashing recovery it to the phone, allowing you to backup stock recovery as well as the stock ROM (if you flash custom recovery before doing this, stock recovery is over-written and therefore can't be backed up). Note that your version's stock ROM and recovery may already be uploaded to the above thread by another XDA user.

Then achieve root by your preferred method (flash custom recovery and flash SU/SuperSU, or use weaksauce, towelroot, etc.). Then use sunshine to achieve s-off (firewater s-off will likely not work, as it was patched some time ago): http://theroot.ninja/

Then after s-off, you can unlock SIM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708572

Ok i unlocked my bootloader with htcdev.com and it says unlocked now.

Now how to backup my stock at this point? I tried this thread you showed me: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2701376 but didn't understand fully. but it says :fastboot boot recovery_filename.img (this does not work on the latest 3.xx firmwares !!! we need to get the stock recoveries from the OTA files)"

I am little confused at this point.How can i back up at this point without installing any recovery software like twrp?please guide me.thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
By placing the custom recovery image in your fastboot folder, you can then

boot

recovery without actually flashing it to the phone, using the command you quoted. Think of it as remotely running the TWRP software that is still located on your PC (at least I

think

that is how it works).

Once you are booted into TWRP, you can backup system (stock ROM) and recovery(stock recovery).

Could you please help me to find the custom recovery image that i can put in my fast boot folder and please step by step if you don't mind please.Just trying to learn and don't want to brick my phone with any wrong move.thanks

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, that is another method.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

Go to the General forum section for the M8, and look at the Index thread (sticky at the top of that forum) to find link to recoveries and other resources, including guides and how-tos. Read up and learn.

Taking the time to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts and processes is much more valuable than someone walking your though step-by-step. I won't walk you through step-by-step, as you will learn very little that way.

The process is not that difficult, anyway. You already used fastboot to unlock the bootloader. Other fastboot commands are not any different in execution. If you can't handle taking it from here, modding the phone probably isn't for you.

With S-on, you aren't going to brick the phone by backing up or flashing recovery. Even with s-off, as long as you only flash things intended for the M8 (and only for the GSM version - not CDMA - to be safe), you will not brick. You can only brick the phone if you damage hboot, radio, or partition tables.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_zx11:
Yes you are right...I will read more and i want to learn and will try to do it myself.If i will have some confusion, i will ask here.Looks like i need more reading.

Now what i am planning to do is:

1. Install twrp

2.Take a full nandroid backup.(will it be enough to save me in future if i would like to go back to stock after S-OFF?)

3.root and s-off.

Does it make sense?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The process to backup stock recovery is easy, by either method we already discussed. If you want to be thorough, backup stock recovery.

Backing up stock recovery and stock ROM is sufficient to return (mostly) to stock. There isn't much else you can do
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_zx11:
UPDATE:

I downloaded latest twrp and i booted into twrp .then took full backup. i also took back up using philz touch same way by just booting into philztouch.

Then i tried to root using supersu by same booting into twrp and tried to root.it created a supersu icon on the spring board and then i tried to install it from play store but it errored out and phone rebooted.After that i tried to remove the supersu icon from the phone but just couldnt. Then i thought of restoring stock backup using twrp and it restored it to stock stage.Atleast now i know that my stock backup worked.!!!:D

Now my question is why did supersu not root my phone?Should i try another method?please advice.thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
huh? Did you flash it and then tried to install it from the play store after it was already "installed" by being flashed in custom recovery? If not, what exactly are you talking about here? :eek:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyubor:
Hello everyone,

I got my Nexus 5 in white back in August and it's an amazing phone but I recently came across something that confused me.

As I tried to apply a tempered glass screen protector I noticed I couldn't get it to apply properly on the bottom, right under the screen. After a closer look I found out that the glass isn't even there. It's curved inwards which in turn makes it impossible to apply a glass screen protector without air.

Now the device is functioning fine but I'm not sure if this will be covered by warranty. It seems like a defect since I can't think of any physical event causing that. I've never let it fall down and it's still in perfect condition otherwise.

If I could get some advise on what I can do here or if anyone's got similar experience I'd love to hear about it.

You need to gently clamp in together on that spot, using a thin cloth to avoid scratches. Leave it for an hour and should stay gone.

Don't over do it obviously, or you could crack it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes it is not quite flat. As above, clamp it for 30 minutes or so. I used some cloth wrapped around the phone and a bulldog clip.

This is a commong thing? That doesn't sound good, I kinda hope it's covered by warranty, I'll contact the vendor to see if they can replace it.

They're all the same. Just a design flaw.

Replace it and you'll most likely see the next one is no different.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Every one of them is like this. It may even be intentional rather than a flaw. We don't know. Its just the way the N5 is.

Build 8.9 won't import contacts from SIM

As title says. It boots and works great, but I can't import my contacts from my SIM card. I put the card back in my old phone, and it reads it just fine. Not sure if the stock ROM for the HD was able to do it since I flashed the phone as soon as I got it going.

It's a great ROM otherwise, though. Love the simplicity.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] andremaricato:
Great rom

Great ROM! Thanks!

Not the most smooth, but so far is working good. I was having serious delays when trying to turn de screen on, or on incoming calls. I don't know if there is a cause-effect, but after i installed greenify, the delay is shorter.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sketchman16:
It is a great ROM. I still can't post in the main thread because I'm a newb, but I wanted to post a screenshot of what a combo of SlimKat and Werewolf kernel can do.

This is SlimKat 8.9 and Werewolf 009.

Links to each one if you're a newb like me.

Kernel

ROM

What can they do?

As a comparison, with the stock 4.1.3 ROM from LG and stock kernel, it was getting 14000-15000, so that's quite a difference. Battery life is also loads better especially when asleep.

Still would like to know why it can't read my SIM contacts. I hope it sees the SIM card. I haven't tried any calls or data on the phone since flashing it. Have to wait and see.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sketchman16:
I'm having issues with the camera too. It's not just the still camera either. The video camera lags sometimes too. Just stops updating the screen and then picks up again later. Also the display breaks up when changing orientation in camera mode.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sketchman16:
Just tried 8.8 and 8.6.1, and both have the issues. Not sure how to proceed. Is there a version that doesn't have camera issues? Not sure how this went several versions without getting noticed. It's painfully obvious that there's a problem. Just snapping a photo lags like crazy, and the video camera issue punches you in the face. :)

I tried to update my device as its mentioned in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2583176

But I don't know why my phone bricked while I was doing it.

1. I had my phone rooted

2. Boot loader Unlocked

3. custom rom/gapps downloaded and pasted on the device

4. cwm updated using rom manager

But when I went to boot recovery I got some .image error message... Thanks to kdz flashing and LG flashtool that I got my phone back and some how upgraded to 4.1.2 as it was 4.0.3 before :P..

So my request is can someone please post the exact procedure detailed in step by step so that a beginner like me can understands well. Or if you can provide a kdz file that is having OS version 4.4.X..

Sorry for my bad English :D

Cliff notes for those that can't YouTube:

1. Change Animation Scale - Enable Developer mode under Settings > About phone > 'Build Number' (tap until developer menu active), under developer menu update Window/Transition/Animator to 0.5x

2. Disable S Voice Launch from Home Key - open S Voice, settings, open with home key double press option (I think this is disabled by default on Verizon version because mine was already off).

3. Disable Briefing app and home screen animations - Long press multitask button, settings, uncheck briefing app and animations set to none.

4. Disable unwanted pre-installed apps - Go to App drawer, settings, uninstall/disable apps option, pick and choose as desired.

I used to do this on my note 3. Good video. Hope this transcript helped. Thanks.
