[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
So, I made the mistake of uninstalling ItsOn on my Sprint HTC One M8. Now I am unable to use data, sms, make calls, wifi report it's unstable. What the hell is going on? I have attempted to reinstall an RUU and even after that I get the same errors. I am on the verge of going into the Sprint store tomorrow for a replacement. I called HTC and they think the SIM card might be bad. I checked it and it looks fine. Is there something I can reinstall to fix this or is my phone dead just from that one uninstall?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Try flashing a stock 4.4.4 rom it will come stock with itson. Then do a ##72786# reset to attempt to restore your original data settings. Which way did you remove itson?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
I used ROM Toolbox to uninstall ItsOn. I have reinstalled a stock rom on my phone in the hopes it would restore, but I still can not use any of the radios. This is crazy.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Just speculating. I almost wonder if this ItsOn also handles the phones antenna encryption. Possible there is some partician this is saved on and by uninstalling it I also wiped the partician. Add in the RUU do not contain it. Either way, guess I have to stop in at the Sprint store today and get a replacement.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
ItsOn is in the /carrier partition aswell you cannot simply remove it. To attempt to fix your problem can you go into ##3282# and enter your msl go into data profile and hit restore and reboot. Also to remove itson on a stock rom flash this in recovery https://www.dropbox.com/s/md83hn4um0i5p09/Remove_ItsOn.zip?dl=0
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Crud, don't think I have the MSL number.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
If you are s-off download msl reader from play store otherwise youll have to get it from sprint
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Now that I think about it. I think Sprint tech support had me do this. I recall a menu where it did this last night.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Most techs will give you the ##786# code to do this. Try a simpler ##72786# that one wont require msl
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Ok, got the code and ran what you said. Still dead. HTC just had me do a recovery wipe. I think this is hardware related now. Software would have been restored at some point. I would think it would have restored once I loaded the RUU stock ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Possibly, You could always try to connect to a wifi and do a handsfree activation aswell

All these "fixes" are speculation, I couldnt know your exact problems unless i had the device in hand. Just know Im trying :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Tried the wifi route, but wifi is also messed up. It will connect to my wifi network, but reports the connection is unstable. :eek:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Yeah, at this point id also agree its hardware. Getcha a replacement haha
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Lol, I better hope it's hardware. I figured it best to come clean with HTC and let them know it was rooted. So, they will have their diagnosis team look at it and if they determine the root caused it then I might be out some $$$ for the repair of it.

Still don't see how the root could cause this in the end. Unless there is a section that the RUU doesn't get.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Id hold your tongue on that, HTC doesnt really care too much they just see it as a defective device and they RUU themselves and if that doesnt fix it they pretty much use it as spare parts or remelt and rebuild a new one that will work. :) silence and claiming ignorance is key to winning them over lol
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Bit late on that. I told the care personel over chat that I did. They still offered the swap program that they were offering in the beginning. We'll see what happens. Dunno if they tag my account with regards to it or not. I just was thinking since the bootloader says **relocked** they might notice that and freak.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Lol, nah, you got lucky but they hardly ever look at that stuff
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
First time warrantying a phone, let alone a smart phone. Wasn't sure. Will remember that in the future. Guess I should always remember the human condition. Everyone is lazy.

Lesson learned on this though. Do not uninstall ItsOn. Just in case this truly is a software issue. Though I doubt it.

BTW, does that uninstaller you sent me work? Is it based on the Bad Boyz uninstaller? I'm just a bit leary after this experience to attack that again. Though I do not like it using 40% of my battery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
The one i sent you is for stock, bad boys is for his rom
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Just because I want to read up some more. Where did you get yours from? Is there a thread about it or a how to?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Just curious, but have you tried installing an older ROM, say one based off 4.4.3 that doesn't have any of the ItsOn software installed? Just a shot in the dark. Sounds like a hardware failure at this point if a RUU didn't fix it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
I thought about it, but after trying the RUU and then the factory reset and all of the steps that the tech support had me try I just decided it had to be hardware. I just can't see any reason why an RUU which would reload everything that comes on it stock wouldn't have worked in the first place. Since it's slotted to go back at this point I just want to leave it alone.

The impression I always get is if all else fails load the RUU. If that doesn't fix it then it's hardware.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
The one i posted was based off O.M.J's ItsOn removal I editted it to work for Stock users by removing all bad boys/rom specific related edits
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Has anyone used yours yet? I'm going to guess you yourself have, but just wondering what the reports are.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
A couple people over on themikmik.com have and i have too, its worked for everyone, no bad reports back yet...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Well, got my new replacement phone. It's charging right now. First things first, root, backup stock recovery then look at the uninstaller your provided me.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Good luck and happy flashing :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Oh dang, I think they sent me the Harman/Kardon edition by mistake. I didn't have that before but on the one I have now it shows the Haman/Kardon audio. Wish there was a way to confirm this was in fact that edition.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
There is a way :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
I'm all ears. Please tell.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Take a screenie of this page on your phone, in settings, about, software info, more, and ill let you know :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
That is as long as you havent flashed a h/k modded rom yet!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
I have done no flashing. Only unlocked it at this point. Waiting for all of the updates to finish.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
I would suggest S-OFF before you get too far.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Was about to, but the firewater method just failed. Reported it was patched by HTC.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
This is a h/k edition know how i know? The 654 part :) if it was 651 it would be a non h/k edition!

Also agree with [MENTION=4609217]BD619[/MENTION] and firewater wont work anymore, youll have to use Sunshine, it costs $25 but it is well worth it! Theroot.ninja
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Went ahead and purchased it and getting s-off now.

Weird thing. I'm on 4.4.3 with the new phone and I know there is an update to 4.4.4. Yet, with that ItsOn crap I feel it's safer to just leave it alone for now. Though I wonder, is that remove ItsOn zip you posted good for the HK versions as well?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Yeah, it is for a stock h/k edition. I just realized when i went through and editted I didnt change any of the build.prop back to stock, if you flash that youll get the build.prop from Bad Boys 2.0. This shouldnt affect anything but if you dont want possibilities, just delete the build.prop from the zip and flash without that.

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

You will still need to go into build.prop and remove all ItsOn related lines

If you flash MOST roms that have 4.4.4 firmware the ItsOn will be removed in their build that would absolutely be the easiest and best route to go! Of course since your on 4.4.3 you will have to update firmware to 4.4.4 :) Bad Boys 2.1 is my favourite ROM atm :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
The easiest way to tell if you have a H/K M8: it's black with gold trim and says Harmon Kardon on the back;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
I dont think ALL h/k editions have that do they?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Pretty positive.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Well, okay :roll: ill take your word this time ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
And that's the odd thing. The body of the phone looks like the normal one with the black HTC on the back. No HK marking. Makes me wonder if HTC loaded the wrong ROM onto the phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Probably a refurb?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
So, HK internals, normal externals, which means they need to load the HK software? I can hope. Just wish there was a way to test it to be sure. Anyone know a way?

Oh, just an aside question. How would I create my own stock recovery image file? I have TWRP installed, but I've read it does a poor job. Also, can TWRP make a complete backup of my main system?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
If you want to see if it's new or reconditioned, dial ##786# and see what the reconditioned status says. As far as it being a HK version, just go by the firmware version. That'll at least tell you that it has the HK firmware installed. Also, the HK version is CID SPCS_004 while the standard Sprint M8 is CID SPCS_001. You can look in the bootloader for this info.

As far as creating your own recovery, why bother? TWRP does an excellent job of backing up your phone, including the system partition, which you asked about. Not sure where you've heard it does a poor job, because it in fact does an excellent job.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Thanks. My recondition status shows no and my CID is CID-SPCS_004. Looks like I got the HK version. This is weird. I can't complain though. I like good audio and even the stock One M8's audio was better than most.

Various reading in regards to TWRP. Main reason I want the stock recovery is for OTA updates. I keep my phone as close to stock as I can.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
With the stock recovery you won't be able to backup anything on your phone or flash any mods via recovery, either. You can always backup your system to your computer, though.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
You can always use [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION]'s Unofficial TWRP over on themikmik.com in the m8 section very easy to find.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Well, I would only use the stock recovery to take the OTA updates. I would of course backup the phone using TWRP prior to all this though. My thing is, it sucks trying to find a stock recovery that matches my version numbers as they seem to lag behind. Yet, from my understanding there is a way to create me own.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
You know taking the OTA is not recommended, flashing editted firmware is the best way to update when you are s-off
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
All current versions of Stock Recovery. HK and non HK

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001609885
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
How come? Where would I find the edited firmware?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Less steps and you dont have to keep flashing TWRP over and over...

Read the OP for instructions on how to flash :)

Among other things:thumbup:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Absolutely,no need to worry about a patch to s-off to hboot that would be flashed doing an OTA. :) it makes life so much easier just flashing modified firmware lol :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
No need to ever have to fastboot flash a kernel, the ability to permanently write to the system partition...........:D
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Thats just s-off in general though correct? He already got s-off :)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
I thought we were talking about S-off in general;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
Hahaha nope, we changed to why OTA is not as safe as flashing modified firmware ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Hm, wonder if there is a "stock" flash to 4.4.4 that won't overwrite the recovery and already has ItsOn removed for the HK version of the phone. Course, the sucky thing to flashing is I will need to figure out how to backup every app and it's settings I have.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
There are apps like titanium backup and my backup that will help that. A nandroid(backup in recovery) is also very useful and suggested. There are plenty of stock ROMS my suggestion is to flash a stock deodex w/ or w/o debloating!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Will do some digging into that. So, a Nandroid backup. What exactly does one of those backup? The entire ROM or just the apps?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
The ROM.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] EVOuser94:
It backs up the ROM in a partition view, as in your ROM is installed on the /System, and all the apps that come along with it are installed on /Data or /system a nandroid is very useful and can be a lifesaver
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] -Apollo-:
You do know that if ItsOn is removed you won't be able to take the OTA anyways because the system files would not be intact. For now, you might as well run with TWRP and whatever ROM you find to your liking. Later when the OTA comes out and you feel like taking it, just run RUU to go back stock and then take OTA and play around. Like these guys in here say, it is not recommended to take OTA...with that said, I always take my chances and take OTAs because I am impatient and probably an idiot lol and I figure I am s-off so I can always start over if I need to. If I was S-ON there is NO way I would take an OTA though.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
Yeah, that much I have gathered. At this point I'm thinking I will follow their advice and just get a "stock" rom that's deodexed and recovery removed. Might also look to see if ItsOn is gone. Don't like crap being installed that sucks the battery dry.

Another question about backups. I have the Rom Toolbox pro. Does anyone know how to get this programs backup to work? I've tried it in the past and it seems to not do anything. Even tried to get it to save it to my cloud and nothing.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Cataract2:
lol. Go figure. Looks like my duo camera is not working. Keep getting the error that it's covered. Took my case off and tried it without and no change. Sigh. Well, I think I won't bother with that problem as I rarely take pictures anyway and I don't think the duo camera really adds anything for my needs. Wonder if there is a way to disable it.

I am about the buy a New Note 12.2 at BestBuy and wanted to opinions as to if is worth getting a Snapdragon 32GB version

over a Exynos 64GB version.

My 8.4 Tab S is dreadfully slow at charging and read that the Snapdragon Notes have fast charge. Is it really that much faster ?

( I am in the US so only the LTE models have Snapdragon here and they only come on 32GB models.)

Would prefer not to buy the International models because of warranty issues but would if most people recommended it.

Thanks for any and all input. :good:
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcadia2uk:
There are currently no custom builds for Snapdragon, all development has been made on Exynos.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Fast Charge is a Qualcomm Snapdragon feature. Exynos is made by Samsung and doesn't have Fast Charge.

Also, a warning beforehand: The P900 Exynos and P907A AT&T LTE edition (no other versions, just those) have serious issues with random reboots, black screens, blue screens and screen flickering. You may want to avoid those.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingdo:
I had no issues with reboots until the last update. Now it happens all the freaking time. It's almost to the point where I need to find a different device, perhaps move back to a 2014 10.1 as this is totally unacceptable for such an expensive tablet.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Your signature says you're on a custom ROM though. Is that the ROM's fault or the latest Samsung software?

I'm still on stock KOT49H.P900UEU1ANC5 , rooted with custom recovery (TWRP). I do get the flickering from time to time (once every week or two) which I fix with a dalvic cache cleaning in TWRP but I rarely get reboots.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingdo:
Had the issue before the custom ROM. Moved to Custom hoping a different kernel would solve things. I did notice a few minutes ago that my Wanam Xposed system server fix seems to have become unchecked. I checked it and rebooted. Here's hoping that's all it was. Either that or keeping fingers crossed the new firmware fixes it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kable:
Thanks for all of info.

I may just wait to see what Samsung shows at CES in January.

Maybe grab a used or reburb to hold me over. Euro version for sure.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureDreams:
Hello all, I hope all is well. I received the update to 4.4.4 a few weeks ago. However, all i got from the update was all the ATT bloatware(Uber,Kids Mode,etc). I am curious as to why I didn't get Knox 2.0, while a my friends were able to. I contacted samsung about it and all i was told was the application "Knox application has been stopped from this version."

So i guess my question to the community is, is there a work around for this? I have tried downloading the apk but even so after installing it I cant open the app on my phone, only the icon is there. I like my phone as is so I would prefer not to root it, but is that my only option at this point if I want the Knox app?

Thanks in advance for any input.

I understand what knox does with profiles and different containers...But the 90% of us have no choice, Many users get worried when installing perhaps a camera app from market and the permission says "location"..Sometimes they won't even download it then...But "Knox" is "Highest Admin" And can virtually do anything on demand to our phones...And we have "No" choice to except or not...It's just there...

The Op stated that he doesn't have "Knox" 2.0 ?

Your not Rooted otherwise you could check to see if you have it installed.

> In "System/App/FixmoISA.Apk

Do you see that file? That's one of many files or apps hiding withing your phone and the manifest files says its currently active and running. And my rom supposedly has Knox remvoed...lol

Hi

Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the kindle fire phone to Android wear?

Anyone tried sideloading the APK?
[Amazon Fire Phone] pazhope:
I am afraid it wont work , andeoid wear requires android 4.3 or newer, and the fire phone is based on 4.2.

I have read and upgrade based on 4.4 is coming so i hope i can use my moto 360 again :(
[Amazon Fire Phone] drewp0:
YES! I have an Amazon Fire Phone and an LG G Smart watch. Both work great. You have to find the video on YouTube about loading Google play and services on your phone as well as ES file explorer. Then download the app of Android wear from one of the many free apk sites. Do not download it from your newly installed Google play. It will not work from there. Only the outside market download works. That's all. If you need specific links, just let me know.
