[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YorbaTheRed:
As the title says , i'm stuck in this situation with my M8 (Sorry in advance for my bad english, it's not my first language)

Iesterday i ****ed up because i tried to install the newest OTA with a custom recovery. Obviously i couldn't do it because it gave me errors in TWRP, so i found the stock backup of the newest updates here in the forum and i installed it. Until now, no problem.

The fact is that after i installed the 2.11.708.2 software (with the recovery) i saw that there was the 3.32 patch (which was the 4.4.4 update for Android) and i said to myself "i installed the original recovery, let's see if the OTA works now". So, that's what i did, i downloaded the last software update from the phone; when it start rebooting to install the update it went in a bootloop, where i can only see the white start screen with "HTC" in green.

I can go to the bootloader, but from there i'm stuck: if i select Recovery it just restart the bootloader, showing for like 2 second the white initial screen with the writings that says "Entering Recovery..."but nothing really happening. Same thing if i go to Factory Reset.

Tried connect it by USB at the pc but with nothing new. The HTC Sync Manager opens up but it say "No plugged phone". By ADB if i write "adb devices" it's just blank and cant reboot or something like that.

Please tell me there is a solution and i didnt just threw 400 euros in the trash D:

If you can enter the booloader then just flash a custom recovery via fastboot and flash a backup.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
You need to uninstall HTC Sync from your PC. After you have used it to install the drivers, you don't need it anymore, and it will make it so that your PC doesn't recognize your phone in debugging. Hope that helps.

My phone is a Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo which a rebranded Coolpad 8865U.

I am trying to root it using the ro.secure=0 methods as all the other rooting exploits failed.

Fastboot seems to detect my phone well enough. I can run this command for example:

fastboot oem device-info -i 0x1ebf

(bootloader)	Device tampered: false
(bootloader)	Device unlocked: true
(bootloader)	Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.004s

However if I try to flash recovery it hangs at

writing 'recovery'...

and if I try to boot from both and original or modified boot.img it hangs at

booting...

And if I try to erase something it hangs aswell.

Any ideas of what it is going on? I cannot even figure out how to put fastboot in verbose mode to see if there are any errors or anything.

BTW: All troughout this fastboot crap the phone remained perfect functional. The only change was the personal info that got deleted when I unlocked fastboot.

Also these don't work either

fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem disable-console
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem enable-console
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem dmesg

but these do

fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem disable-charger-screen
fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem enable-charger-screen

And getvar

fastboot -i 0x1ebf getvar all

Hi,

Rooting doesn't really have anything to do with Sim unlocking, which is what it sounds like you're after.

You can try this method, but read very carefully... I'd read the first several pages for sure,

> AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 > AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket General > unlock free proceed at your own risk!

Or the easier method is to pay a few bucks (it's not that expensive) in a cell unlock site for a code to unlock. Here's a thread that talk about that...

> AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 > AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket General > SIM unlock

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayact~:
Hey all. I know similar questions have been asked, but I've yet to figure out a solution to it. I just ported my number from verizon for this phone. As we know, the Tmobile version's stock messaging app doesn't support group chat, so I chose to use Google Messenger. I've been missing messages in group chat since day one. I will get about 60%, sometimes as low as 20%, or the messages. The rest will just never come in. The issue also occures in standard picture messages and texts, but are much less frequent. This is incredibly infuriating, as the tech support has no idea what the solution is, and sony thinks it's tmobile's issue.

Things I have tried:

1. Set the APNs to be ipv4/6.

2. Use Textra with tmobile fixes.

3. Turn off wifi calling.

4. Turn off wifi.

5. Change sim cards.

6. Disable stock messaging app.

7. Disable voLTE.

I'm at my witt's end with it, and no tech support will give me an acceptable solution. Has anyone had this issue, and maybe know a way to fix it? I'd appreciate any input you can provide.

Thanks!

Edit: also, I did not come from an iPhone prior to switching. The issue doesn't seem to be limited to iPhones, but they're the only ones I tend to group chat. And finally, the phones are on Verizon and at&t.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayact~:
I think I might have fixed it, but I don't know what caused it to begin with. After doing a factory reset on the phone, all of the group chat seems to come in and in the right order. I don't know if what application was causing the conflict, if there was any. But it seems to be working for now...

For those having the issue, maybe try that. Also, change the APN type to ipv4/6. I'll report back if there's any change or if I figure out the conflict.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regulator207:
I too did a factory reset but the stock messaging app does not support group texts correctly. Either on cell or WiFi calling. It slowly reverts back to missing texts with continues usage until you factory reset again.

T-Mobile Missing some group chat sms texts

I'm having the same problem with my T-Mobile Z3. I think the problem is with T-Mobile, not the phone but I haven't been able to figure out what is causing it. I thought it was poor reception or Wifi Calling, but even with WIfi Calling off and Personal Cell Spot boosters, I still miss some. Otherwise, I love the phone.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayact~:
As other users have said, this wasn't a permanent fix. My phone stopped rceiving group chat properly overnight, so now i'm back to square one. This is infuriating.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regulator207:
welcome to the jungle man. more and more i believe the problem is due to the phone and how it fetches mms. maybe it has to do with power management. because why would we get them all correctly after factory reset and slowly it starts dropping mms again. so strange.

have you had mms issues with other phones on tmobile? i briefly had a m8 but had faulty bluetooth so i had to return it. didnt have time to really see if it had mms issues too.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
Is it possible that with Stamina mode enabled the mms notification is expiring before the message content is downloaded? Might try adding the messaging app to the Stamina exclusion app list to see if that helps.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regulator207:
but i dont have stamina mode on. is it on by default? it says off on power management. i even disabled "queue background data"

still missing mms.

since family is in town for thanksgiving i have family members with different iphones and android phones with carriers on sprint, sprint/republic wireless, and verizon.

ran a few tests.. i could steadily reproduce missing group mms from sister with iphone 5 on verizon when everybody else got them. i disabled imessage on her phone and then her mms came through. reenabled imessage on her phone and mms still came through. no idea if this was coincidence or i actually did something important. i think i'm sending the phone back for nexus 6. if it has trouble then i have to jump ship from tmo.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
Stamina is off by default, so that's probably not the issue.

Maybe check your detailed usage by date and sender on TMO website to see if they show receipt of the missed messages, that would give an indication if it's a TMO issue or something with the phone.

Regulator (and others),

To answer your question, I'm a new tmobile customer. So, I haven't had this issue om Verizon. That said, I checked the messaging logs on my account, and it seems to actually be missing on their end. These groupchats I am missing aren't even being reported on their end. I'm planning on calling their service again to give them the details. I wish there was something else I could update with. This can't be a software issue at that point, right?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayact~:
Just thought I would update everyone who might be curious. After puttig in 2 more trouvle tickets with he tmobile engineers and finally giving up on going through tech support, I went to the tmobile store in person. I asked to transfer my number to a temp phone there to determine whether or not it's a handset or backend issue. Group chats came in perfectly on the LG G2. With that knowledge, I requested a second replacement phone. In case you didn't know (as no rep told me) we have a 1 year warrenty through tmobile by default ON TOP of the 2 year sony warrenty. This one was refurbished, but the texting issues are not there. I would recommend everyone do the same, if they are able. Right now, tmobile isn't recognizing it as a handset issue, or an issue at all, which is very strange. Hope this helps you guys.

Tl;dr get a replacement handset.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wannaboo:
Switched to Tmobile from Sprint 2 weeks ago. I am having the exact same problem with MMS/Group texting on my new stock Z3. I have confirmed that I am definitely not receiving all group messages. Turning off WiFi calling didn't help, turning off Volte didn't help, Stamina mode has never been on. I've tried using Textra and Google Messenger and Hangouts. I would say I get about 50% of the group messages sent to me. When I do get one it shows up in the threaded group message ok but I'll also have a notification from the individual (one-on-one) thread with the person that just sent the message and it shows as download failed.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yesjohnterry:
I've been having the same issues that you (and others) have described. That is, missing group messages, some sms messages delayed significantly (sometimes a day or more) before I receive them, cannot download mms messages, etc. I am also a former Verizon customer, but have never had an iPhone.

Before I trade in my Z3 for a refurbished model, has the new phone permanently fixed all your messaging issues? If so, which messaging app are you using now? Hangouts? Textra?
