[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bb1981:
Initially, I used the exe version but when it have the version number it was going to upgrade to, it was unreadable. Going back to 4.4.3, I flashed the firmware through fastboot then ran the ruu off the sd card. That's also why the sd card is ejected in the first pic so I could get past hboot to make sure it completely powers off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Did you try a factory reset from stock recovery/hboot yet?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bb1981:
I'll try that next. I just tried it but it seems like I don't have a recovery installed. Instead of saying recovery booting, it just bootloops.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bb1981:
just tried flashing stock recovery and got stuck in a bootloop again. Running the exe again to try 4.4.4 and still get the same unreadable upgrade version. The version that it's coming from has been right all the time, but the version it's going to I'm guessing should be 3.xxxxx instead of like the screenshot attached.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
That's fine man. It's not an encrypted rom so it doesn't read the plain text file correctly. It will flash what it's supposed to.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bb1981:
That's a relief to see that. After I ran it I wasn't sure because it gets stuck on the setup splash screen (thinking it was something not reading correctly on my end and even tried running a second time right away) and I can't get past it at all without airplane mode. I'll have to keep working on it later and see what happens. Thank you for the replies and help, especially with the RUU files and hopefully I can get it figured out. :fingers-crossed::highfive:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
Did you try flashing the newest twrp 2.8.0.3 recovery ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] smeejaytee:
Fyi 4.4.4 roms can take up to 20 mins to get to the initial set up screen you might want to hang in there.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bb1981:
Twrp does work although I haven't tried it this time just to see if I could try a factory reset to maybe get back my lost baseband and IMEI.

I wish I could. The phone once booted will reboot itself after a few minutes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] smeejaytee:
Oh ok sorry that didn't help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bb1981:
I apologize if the last reply was short and possibly coming across snippy...I was at work and didn't have longer to reply...I think I may have made some very sight progress but the phone still knows nothing about itself once booted. I flashed twrp then wiped system, data, cache and dalvik then proceeded to flash unsense 6 and the 4.4.4 insecure kernel which is recommended by the developer for this rom. It booted fine and on the just a sec screen (right after the language selection on aosp/gpe), I did the four corner tap to bypass setup, enabled dev options, then had it connected to my laptop collecting a logcat for when it rebooted to see if it could show someone who knows far more about android than I do what could be causing trouble. The only problem this time is it never did. Almost like taking a car into the mechanic and somehow it knows and doesn't misbehave.... In fact, I feel asleep for a short time and when I woke up again, the command prompt never changed indicating that it ran the whole time without a reboot. At that time, I powered off and called it a night. Is it possible for a partition to become corrupted causing this?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] smeejaytee:
Partitions can get corrupted but as far as I'm aware the only way to fix it is with soff I'm not positive because there is an option in twrp to repair partitions also you may be able to use that without soff.

_)(_(45466_!!$$%[¥|[]®]«¥°]<<° xda app...why do I not have permission to post? [/rant]

I picked up a replacement gunmetal gray m8 on swappa and am considering putting the red one up on the boneyard there to give someone a chance to poke around with it. I was wondering if a partition that twrp doesn't have in the repair section like the one for radio/modem for instance could get damaged. The RUU should take care off any problems like that though so I'm officially stumped and haven't really had any extra time to do any troubleshooting.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thealshear:
I have a peculiar problem that only appears on any custom rom. The last 15 percent never get gauged properly I fall from 15% to 7% charge in less than a second then from 7% to 1% in a minute

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djcyph:
phone broke and im assuming insurance replacement wont be MDK.....do I have to do the SafeStrap method that ive kinda heard about now? Or are there other ways?

Can someone link me to the right method?

thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
It's going to depend on which firmware version you get as to the method you'll need to use to get root but all of them can be rooted. Safestrap is a pre boot hijack that allows you to work around the bootloader none of the firmware versions other than MDK can have custom kernels though so all your ROMS are gonna have to be Touchwiz based and yes, Safestrap is your only option for flashing.

Just got it and it says I'm on I545VRUFNC5. It's also prompting me to update software. Is it easier to root with what I'm currently on or should I take update forst?

Thanks man.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Most have been having issues with the new firmware update and rooting NC5 is a breeze. Just go to towelroot.com and download the APK. Make sure you have unknown sources allowed under your security settings. After download, install Towelroot and go into the app and "make it rain"...profit.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Stay in nc5 and towelroot. Safestrap 3.75 for sch-i545 install custom rom of choice, then nc5 modules, then ng6 modem (found in the modems thread in development I believe, as the mode is the only truly improved piece of NG6 which is the newest update.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djcyph:
thanks man!

Thank you as well. What are nc5 modules? everything else I should be able to figure out on my own.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Just Google vrufnc5 modules, they are for cellular data to work.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick232:
Hi

I am looking for a ROM with the following qualities:

- Android 4.4

-

SEMC UI

- for

locked

bootloader

- stable for everyday use

- good battery life

Is there any such ROM? Most 4.4 ROMs I can see here seem to be lacking the SEMC UI.

Regards,

Mike
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturnz:
By SEMC you mean stock sony kitkat ui? If so, give it a try to xperianze and repexpersis, you can find them in the development section.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamm86:
No such ROM.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Hello.

- Ok

- No. You'll need to apply a theme on your own. However you'll require a theming engine. This engine was built in Cyanogenmod ROMs so most derivatives will have it as well.

- Ok

- Custom ROMs are deemed to be stable, but will never be perfectly stable. Nothing is actually stable in my perspective :(

- Simply no. Battery usage is very different compared to stock ROM. SURPRISE! Because it is not a stock ROM.

So for your queries, no there aren't any ROMs that matches your request, sorry.

However if you still want suggestions, I suggest Paranoid Android by NexusPrime or CM11 by bagyusz or CM11 weeklies by MrSteve555.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick232:
Thank you for the replies! Then I will stay at 4.3 (Master ROM V5), perhaps one day there will be a suitable KitKat ROM.

hi guys,

i recently bought a z3 compact which is locked to vodafone ireland. unfortunately, i might have hard-locked it since the simlock counter is 0 after too many unsuccessful attempts. is there anyway i can reset the simlock counter? would flashing the firmware help? (currently on 23.0.A.2.98)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishengajjar:
Hi guys,

Last night, as I was using some app on my phone, it froze and wouldn't respond to anything. So I held the power button and let it reboot... except it wouldn't. The screen when off, and came back to the Samsung logo screen, but it wouldn't go past that.

I've rooted this phone in the past, but I am currently unrooted and on the stock 4.4.3 ROM from sammobile. No crazy tricks or anything. The phone will go into download mode, but I ODIN flashing fails (I've tried 2 or 3 versions of ODIN), and it will go into Android system recovery <3e> (I get a red triangle over a dead Android) then it says things like

Failed to mount /efs

Failed to mount /system

Manual mode

Applying multi-CSC

Failed to mount /system (no such file or directory)

Failed to mount /cache.....

...there is a lot of this kind of stuff, and then it gives me the options to reboot, apply update from ADB, external storage, etc...none of which work. I've tried wiping partitions, factory resets, flashing with ADB...

In Download mode, when I try to flash the stock ROM using ODIN, it fails. Differently worded errors in different versions, but in short, it's failing to write.

It's been 24 painful hours of reading threads on XDA and loads of other sites, and trying to fix this. Finally, I think my problem (or combination of problems) might just be unique to me. My gut feeling is that the internal SD card is corrupted, and I need to re-partition it, but I'm not sure, and I don't know how...

Please help... :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannchelu:
Try reinstall drivers, another port usb or another usb cable. First you can try reinstall drivers and change usb port.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishengajjar:
Hi Dannchelu. I tried that already. I installed Kies and uninstalled to get the latest drivers, but I've also tried to remove the drivers and install them separately. Drivers seem to be fine.

Also tried 2 separate cables, although I think I'm getting a successful connection with ODIN...just not able to write to the internal partition...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannchelu:
For repartition search xda for pit file . You need a pit file for your phone model which you can flash with odin. You need to read very good steps to follow because you can hardbrick your phone.

Sorry for bad english.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] merkk:
I installed the stock rom through twrp and it seemed to work ok.

I then went into twrp again and tried to use it to wipe the sd card, which didn't seem to work. So i then tried to have it repartition the sd card and that also failed. At which point i turned the phone off - and havent been able to get it back on since.

however, i think the phone is actually still on in some way. When i plug it into my pc, it detects that the phone is plugged in, which it shouldn't do if the phone is actually off. It's been less than 24 hours since this happened so I'm sure the battery could still have juice in it.

Anyone have any ideas what went wrong here? And how i can fix this? Or did i just brick the phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
What does the phone show up as when you connect it to your computer?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] merkk:
Nothing shows up in file explorer but under ports in device manager it shows qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (com3)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
That's not good:(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] merkk:
how not good is it? Did i just create a paper weight or is there some way to fix this?

Any ideas what I did wrong? Like i said, the stock rom installed. This only happened after I tried to wipe/repartition the sd card in twrp.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You may be able to resurrect it via Jtag but that's out of my realm. Have you tried charging it overnight or holding the power+volume buttons for two minutes?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] merkk:
I've tried just holding the power button down for a minute but nothing happened.

I was actually thinking i should let the battery drain since right now it appears to be turned on to some extent since the PC detects it when i plug it in. The battery had about 80% full charge when it died. So i didn't think fully charging the battery would help. (tried doing the power button and volume button now, no effect)

jtag is new to me - just did a quick google search. Looks like it involves opening the phone up and shorting out some pins?

I wish I at least knew what the hell I did that caused this :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
I believe captain had a similar situation on his m8, tired to partition his SD and made a very expensive, yet very visually pleasing paper weight.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] merkk:
ah shoot - i didn't think anything dealing with the sd card could muck it up. The phone will work without an sd card normally doesn't it? Oh well, guess I'm out of luck now :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] RemE:
Is there a source for the standard earbud headset? I want to cut one up to make a 3.3mm stereo adapter with the angle usb/audio plug portion and I can't find them anywhere.

Help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] mzahiri:
It would just be easier to buy a prefabricated one from Brando or some other online retailer. I just got mine in today and it is great. It is a 3 in 1 so i have the standard USB mini for charging, the 3.5mm for headphones, and the HTC one for my headset. It would just be simpler and less time consuming.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] RemE:
I appreciate the thought, however, I'm a tech and prefer the nice compact angle connector and want to make a very compact light weight adapter instead of the bulky 3-way. I'm suprised that there seems to be no way to get a stock one easily.

Edit; HTC just sent me this number for US Parts, they have all the stock parts, Buds, Y-Cable, USB Cable, Battery, Rear Batt Cover. Headset was $16.99

[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
Phone was sitting turned off on my night stand and this is what I come home to.
[Moto X General] perfoliate:
Ouch! Looks like the battery swelled a bit!
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
Getting the run around from Motorola, they say its physical damage which voids the warranty and they are not sure they will replace it. This is a replacement for my original which was defective but the warranty should have transferred to this one. They say they will get back to me in 24 hours after someone higher up looks at the pics I sent in. I don't use it any more as I bought an iPhone 6 and went to the dark side but they still need to replace it.
[Moto X General] marco_:
:eek:

I'd say from the pics it seems obvious the damage came from the inside, where user damage most often comes from the outside.
[Moto X General] fury683:
Users can cause damage on the inside. This is a Developer Edition, so it could be unlocked, rooted, overclocked, etc. Just saying...
[Moto X General] marco_:
Since it is a Developer Edition unlocking the boootloader is covered in the warranty (hence the higher price).

Overclocking a device should never make the battery cook/explode. My guess is the damage was not inflicted bij an exploding X8 SOC.
[Moto X General] Drew66:
Was it charging?
[Moto X General] Steve-x:
The only thing that would have caused that is a failed battery. It appears to have puffed up to extreme levels.

Better then bursting into flames at least...
[Moto X General] eksasol:
I'm glad at least it didn't caught on fire and burn down your house.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
No it was turned off for a week and sitting on a table.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
It's fully stock except for the unlocked bootloader and as have stated previously it was turned off and disconnected from the charger just sitting on a table.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
The issues tech support were having last night are: 1). this is a replacement phone for my original which had cell radio issues and they weren't sure the original 1 year warranty transferred over to this one 2). physical damage voids the warranty as they assume it's caused by the user dropping it 3.) they've never heard of a battery exploding when the phone was turned off and not charging. Having the phone in hand its obviously it's from an exploded battery I offered to send it in to them so they can verify this. I was told I would hear back in 24 hours as to if they will cover it under warranty once someone higher up looked at the pics I sent in.
[Moto X General] mrbradeli:
Kinda worried about mine doing the same. I have a dev edition as well and over time the phone's back has developed a few bulges and feels uneven to the touch. Hopefully it doesn't actually explode though. I'm not too interested in changing phones again.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
Been almost 48 hours since I contacted customer support and still no word back on if they are going to cover it under warranty. If I get a replacement I'm going to sell it as I got the new iPhone 6 and am happy with it and I still have a Nexus 4 to play around with.
[Moto X General] fakieskr8333:
Hey maybe you could do us current x owners a solid and donate it to someone on the PA legacy team so we could get official PA builds. Pretty please :)
[Moto X General] Darth:
He'll need to send the phone in. They don't take your word it's broke and just send you a new device. ?
[Moto X General] fakieskr8333:
Yea I meant send them the new phone since he won't be using it lol.
[Moto X General] Darth:
Ah! I somehow doubt that's happening. ?
[Moto X General] fakieskr8333:
I didn't have high hopes but I thought it was worth a shot lol. Hopefully he can get it straightened out soon. It's a good thing he has another phone to use, I'd be pissed if I was phoneless this long.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
Three days later and still no answer back so I contacted them again and this time got it moved to repairs escalation reports who are closed on weekends. Tech support guys on chat keep saying well that's physical damage and voids the warranty and you have to pay for repairs. The one I talked to today actually said batteries are only covered if it explodes on first few charges. WTF? Three days ago I offered to send the phone to them to verify its an exploded battery but they said no the pictures were enough. If I had bought this through a carrier I would've had a new phone by now, Verizon always replaced my defective phones on the first call no questions asked.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
I have an iPhone 6 and a Nexus 4. I used the Moto X for about 11 months and was debating to keep it or the Nexus 4 as my backup. Don't think I'll donate it unless it was to a relative who needed a phone.
[Moto X General] fakieskr8333:
Totally understand man, I wonder what the hold up on this is. Both time my x messed up a quick 10 minute chat got me a new pin to order a new phone. I wonder if BC this is a dev edition they are treating you like a lower class citizen.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
They say because there is physical damage to the phone, the battery expanded so much as to bend the back case, that the warranty is void. My point to them is yes there is physical damage but it was caused by a defective battery which should be covered under warranty. The first tech I talked to said that it would be taken care of in 24 hours but that was 3 days ago. This one said he is turning it over to repairs but they won't be back in till Monday.
[Moto X General] Nemosfate:
So remind me not to leave mine sitting without charging and using it. Hopefully you get it taken care of.

root, roms, and themes.. oh my!
[Moto X General] trentonmc24:
If they refuse to cover it I'd tell them I'm sending it to as many media outlets as possible. Last thing Motorola needs is a 6 o clock news story about their phones exploding for no reason.
[Moto X General] kzoodroid:
So today, day 6, I called and talked to someone in person this time instead of using chat and she said it was ridiculous that chat tech support said I had to pay for repairs and that they didn't authorize a new phone. She said we are replacing your phone here is all the FedEx stuff to send it to us and I was done in 5 minutes. Faith in Motorola restored.
[Moto X General] fakieskr8333:
That's great you got it squared away, hate that it took almost a whole week. Wonder what the deal with chat support not doing what phone support did in 5 minutes.
