[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OradSA:
Hi all,

I've got a rooted HTC One M8 and I'm very satisfied with this device.

The only problem that is bothering me is that the status and navigation bars are huge.

I've tried the Dimensions editor XPosed module and it did change the nav bar height, but didn't work on the status bar.

P.S. -

1. Please don't send me to google... I've searched for an hour and found nothing.

2. I know that there is an option to change the status bar height in Venom "Viper One" rom - and I've tried the rom but it's a bit laggy. I'm searching for a solution that will work on a stock (rooted) rom or a neer-to-stock rom such as "Android Revolution HD".

Thanks a lot!

[Moto X Q&A] ap3604:
In the past yearly updates to my iPhone decreased performance and slowed things down. After awhile I got tired of the decreased performance on hardware that used to run find and said "Screw It!" so I will keep it on iOS 7 forever and no update anymore.

Should I root to keep my 2013 Moto X on 4.4.3 and speedy as the day I bought it?

Or

Should I update to 4.4.4 knowing in advance I'll be forced to update to 5.0 down the line?

I don't flash or use root much at all, would just use it to simply prevent OTA automatic download.

Thank you for you thoughts :)
[Moto X Q&A] rapastor:
As far as I know, you don't prevent the download after root. In fact not even the installation unless you change files in the system partition.
[Moto X Q&A] imnuts:
So, you don't want to update your Android phone because you had bad experiences with your iPhone in the past with updates? That seems like great logic. I've never had any issues with updates causing the phone to run slower or worse, unless there was an inherent bug with the update, which happens occasionally, but only once or twice in the 5+ years I've had Android phones, over a wide array of devices. Based on reviews, there may be some small issues with 5.0 currently, but overall the OS should be faster than KitKat due to ART.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
It really depends on your device, but you certainly can't base the X updates on how it went with other phones.

You have 4.4.3 on there? Who is your carrier, or what model X is it? Have you unlocked the bootloader?

My advice, if you can unlock the bootloader, do so now. Root the phone, rename the 3C_OTA.APK and 3C_OTA.ODEX which reside in /system/priv-app. That will prevent any OTA from downloading and prompting you to install.

Then sit tight, wait for Lollipop to start being pushed, and the inevitable feed back that will come as people rush to install it.

Based on that feed back, you can stay where you are, or rename 3C_OTA.APK and 3C_OTA.ODEX back to their original names, and take the update.
[Moto X Q&A] rob6909:
KidJoe,

Since I am running stock 4.4.4, rooted, running TWRP 2.7.1.1 and using the XPosed X Tether module. Going with the current understanding that TWRP is not compatible (as of yet anyway) with 5.0 Lollipop, and to preclude from taking the 5.0 OTA, I went ahead and using root explorer, renamed the above two files in your post above by adding .bak to file extension. I also went into to etc/security and renamed the file otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak. I'm thinking I should be good and that renaming these 3 files will not have any unintended consequences on the Moto X XT1060 and keep the phone from taking the OTA at this point in time. Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] bothgoodandbad:
doiy, kid joe got you sorted, i missed that. sweet.. I did the same thing and renamed that file, I don't plan on upgrading to 5.0 OTA until after reviews etc come in for that OTA for moto x 2013.. or unless 5.0 gets xposed or something like it from chainfire
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I never touched the OTACERTS.ZIP, but you should be good to NOT get the Lollipop update until you rename those back

My nexus 5 suddenly stop being recognized by computer. Both media storage and picture storage mode. However it still charges when connected to computer. I tried different cables and different computers as well.

I didn't recive OTA yet, so i wanted to side load it. but its not possible without being recognize by PC.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashish.gupta:
Hello,

I have a Sony Xperia Z and I tried to flash cyanogenmod 11 on it. I checked before if the bootloader is unlocked but the option in service menu said "No" which means that the bootloader can not be unlocked.

I still moved forward with flashing the CM11 on it and at the last step of flashing CM11 it gave me an error and failed to flash CM11 on it. In the recovery mode, I clicked on "reboot now" option and since then the phone is not booting and is going in to a loop of showing Sony icon and a red led light.

I tried brining the phone in fastboot mode by holding power button and volume down and attaching the USB and it does show me a green led for a moment but the screen is complete black and nothing shows up.

adb devices command does not show anything (I am using Mac OSX 10.9.5)

I installed flashtool. It does detect the device but says that the "Device is locked" and does not show any option to flash the stock ROM.

Sony's PC Companion does not even detect the device.

Please help me in finding a way to being it back to its original form.

Regards,

Ashish
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
You absolutely need an unlocked bootloader to flash Cyanogenmod to your device. You have soft bricked your phone by flashing a custom kernel to it when the bootloader is locked.

You should be able to fix this by flashing a stock rom with Flashtool (the unofficial Flashtool, not Sony's Emma). Either download an FTF from the general section or package and flash one by following this guide - How to package and flash stock roms in FTF format. Obviously, do not install the Windows driver as in part 1 of the guide if you're using a Mac.

Hello All,

I have a Evita_UTL build 401 model pj83500(apparently known as Arabic or MEA version here) which I unlocked, installed TWRP, S-off ed, Super CID, and flashed to T-mobile 4.2.2, plus SuperSU , then flashed Elemental, all with the help of your great work and faqs. expectedly, everything worked like peaches. now under influence of of equal parts ignorance and greed, I flashed the at&t firmware, resulting in a perfect device without any signal :D I hadn't realized what a terrible mistake I had made at first so I just flashed T-mobile firmware in hopes of fixing it. later I found out the whole firmware flashing was a very bad Idea because apparently atleast the baseband is incompatible (my original baseband was 3.12.38.00.24).

now is there anyway to get my old baseband back or is there any image of my device's old firmware available?

(I did make a backup using TWRP before doing itall, but I guess that's irrelevant)

i'd highly appreciate any help
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seekfind:
ok, small update. I found the correct radio on this thread and tried flashing with "Fastboot flash zip" command. but it doesn't seem to be possible, getting the Fail24 error.

then tried unzipping to radio.img and "fastboot flash radio radio.img" , now getting : FAILnot allowed

also, it seems this thread is related, but noone actually gave the dumped partitions and even if available, I wouldn't know exactly how to flash them

this one seems to be related too
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Unless you can get your hands on dumped partitions, you're gonna be out of luck. None of the firmware from the standard Evita is compatible with the Evita_utl, so don't go flashing anymore firmware or radios because you could brick your phone. The chances of finding a dump are fairly slim because this variant of the One XL is pretty rare. If all else fails a jtag repair might save you.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The first one is an OTA, but if you can extract the radio from it and create a flashable zip you might get lucky.

The second one is a nandroid backup, which doesn't include the radio.

thanks, can't I just flash the whole OTA (maybe with TWRP)? if not, could anyone tell me where I can find info on Extracting firmware from OTA files?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
No, you need to be on the correct preceding firmware to flash an OTA. I don't have any links but XDA is full of guides like that, just have a search.

after a whole day of searching for a method to extract firmware from OTA, I guess I really need a hint, maybe what keywords to search for, 'cause I'm not finding anything relevant
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seekfind:
SO, I took it to my local HTC service. obviously they had all the correct files(or so they said, I couldn't see the screen); they flashed the correct UTL RUU which it didn't accept, then the correct firmware, again to no avail.

Then they did me a great favor and flashed the Evita_UL RUU which Hard-bricked the phone.

Now they won't do anything else for me, but they suggested that I might be able to fix it by changing the EMMC chip via a 3rd party repairshop for around 80$ because HTC's official policy is to change the board and that costs a ridiculous 150$. the phone itself is sold for about 200$ on the second hand market.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
They bricked your phone and won't take responsibility for it? Was this an official HTC centre? That's ridiculous.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seekfind:
I totally agree, I was furious, but I know from experience there's not much I can do with these guys. they offered to change my board with another semi functioning board (without functioning antenna but with everything else intact) probably for free. I haven't given them an answer yet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Legally (and morally) they're in the wrong. They're professionals who specialise in HTC devices, they knew they were dealing with the Evita_utl and still decided to flash incompatible firmware to the device. I'm not sure which country you live in but where I'm from we have consumer rights departments of the government who help people in cases like this. Threaten to take your case to them, or to an ombudsmen, and you might find they change their tune. They rendered your device useless through incompetence, they're liable for it.

Blimey, I wouldnt stand for that either.. if you took you car to a garage with a flat tyre and they put diesel in instead of petrol and then just gave it you back and said sorry but we can give you a faulty engine as a replacement, what would you do? There's "was" no problem with your phone that couldnt be solved with due diligence on their behalf.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seekfind:
So, I wrote on HTC facebook page and they asked me to follow it up via email. I wrote an email to HTC social media, they contacted HTC service in my country and ordered them to give me a phone. now they've given me one of their phones on display in their showroom; a Desire 816 in acceptable condition.

I'm not complaining for anything except being phone-less for over a month. and I'm impressed with HTC's customer care atleast in this instance.

Thank you all for your Help, especially timmaaa

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] quickdnb:
Hi guys,

I have spent a few hours reading a lot of stuff on here only to (most likely) stuff my phone more.

First problem I had was it just stopped working for no reason (phone has never been rooted or played around with in regards to flashing or recoveries). It just loaded to load screen (with samsung logo) and got stuck there. I stupidly entered download mode (without knowing what I was doing) and then turned phone off when it said 'downloading'. Then when I tried to go into recovery it just gave me a lot of red writing with a lot of fails.

I then tried using Odin, with a bit of success at first, I put on CWM Recovery and was able to boot into that. Then I tried to flash Root_SuperSU onto it (don't know why, was just trying to get it to boot up past the load screen). After this, every time it loads it goes to a fail screen (white and black lines all over the screen).

I can still get to the download mode but at first I was getting a "no pit partition" fail then tried to use Odin to put a PIT file on it "m3xx_i9305.pit" and now I get the fail message "There is no pit partition" in Odin...

Have I completely stuffed it or can it be rescued?

Thanks for your help, your forum was great when I rooted and put custom roms on my old Galaxy Ace.
