[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenaysayer:
Hello,

I have just been given a rooted HTC M7 (AT&T). It hasn't been used for almost a year, but it seems to work. It only has a recovery on it, not a ROM. I have no idea how to get it from where it is up to the latest and greatest. Any help or recommendations would be appreciated. I tried to read up on everything, but i couldn't parse out the info I needed from existing threads. I hope my terminology is correct!

Here's what I've got:

Device: AT&T HTC One M7

BOOTLOADER Info:

*** Tampered ***

*** Unlocked ***

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-CWS_001

HBOOT-1.4.4.0000

RADIO-4a.14.3250.13

OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202

eMMC-boot

May 3 2013, 19:16:59: -1

RECOVERY Info:

TWRP 2.8.1.0

ROM INFO:

I have not loaded a rom onto the device at this point. I haven't felt comfortable since I don't know if the phone in its current state will run the latest roms.

Here's what I need to know.

1. Do I need to update my bootloader? It seems like 1.44 is much older than what other people are currently using. I've seen most people on 1.57 or 1.56. If I do need to update it, what version should I update to?

2. My recovery seems to be almost up to date. I am pretty sure i know how to get the .zip for the latest version, but I don't know if I have to flash it or use another way to install it.

3. I cannot get fastboot working on my windows 8.1 machine. It does work on an old windows 7 laptop I have. It seems like others have this issue on hboot 1.44. Is there any fix for it?

4. Firmware, Kernals, and Radios. How do you know what firmware, kernel, and radio to use for a given device? does it depend on the rom you choose? There seems to be so many and it isn't clear to me.

5. Does it matter if i choose a GPE rom, a Cyanogen Rom, or a Sense Rom? Do kernels, firmwares, and radios depend on the type of rom I choose?

Thanks for all your help! I look forward to using my new to me device.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
you have an AT&T Phone with s-off. Start updating with this RUU from windows 7

http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe

After this RUU windows 8 will see your phone again

Then this Firmware > http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00101/a1w/4.18.502.7 Custom Firmware.zip

followed by this RUU >> http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...09_10.26.1718.01L_release_356565_signed_2.exe

To flash the Firmware use

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot reboot-bootloader

when your done check for software updates in settings before you flash a custom recovery and root.

you should get the 5.x.502 OTA update
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenaysayer:
Amazing. Thank you so much.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatindroid:
just clearing concepts

Why you told him to 1st flash ruu then firmware then higher ruu

Why not higher firmware or ruu directly ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
because a lot of people have problem flashing the 4.x RUU alone, they get a error 155 .. flashing the firmware first solves this problem

And the 3.x Full RUU insures he does not get any problem upgrading from hboot 1.44

so he in fact went the same route AT&T released the updates
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antique_Angel:
Guys,

So I've converted my XT1032 to GPE so I could get Lollipop update. But now, I need to restore to original Moto Stock so I can recover my warranty. I heard once I convert GPE and install Lollipop, I can't go back.

Can you guys provide me some tutorial if it's possible.

Lots of thanks.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boros2222:
You just can't go back or your phone will remain as a brick.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bookworth:
If you need it for warranty then just brick it.

Because warranty checks bootloader locked/unlocked status and there is no way you can change that status to "never unlocked".

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viniciusrsouza:
Sorry, guys, I know this is probably a dumb question, but I simply can't find this info anywhere!

I will sell my Galaxy Note 2 tomorrow morning and it was inside the box for a long time, still with 4.1.2, and I already downloaded 4.4.2 official ROM from Brazil, but I really don't know if I need to first upgrade to 4.3 before.

Can someone answer me?

Thanks so much in advance!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahtsiz_bedevi:
Why don't you just try the Update option in the Settings/About?

Oh, God! What a shame! I was so dumb!

This just solved my doubt and now my Note II is updated to 4.4.2!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xaver54645:
Hello,

I know this has been discussed often but I searched for hours and didn't find a final solution for my problem.

First of all, I'm on a custom rom (Phoenix Ultimate V2: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/p-development/rom-jb-4-1-2phoenix-rise-ashes-t2842899) with a custom kernel (Nemesis 6.2: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-u/p-development/kernel-nemesis-kernel-v6-3-revised-21-2-t2214141) but my problem does occur in every JellyBean rom and custom kernel, even in stock rom/kernel combination)

Is there any way to increase (yes, I want them brighter!) the brightness of the leds in the transparent bar at the bottom of the phone?

Changing values in sys/class/leds/.. to 255 does only help for a few seconds because they just get overwritten by the autobrightness or if the screen gets turned off.

The main reason is that my leds are very dim, almost not visible at night. A friend of mine got the same phone, same rom and kernel combination but he does not have the low brightness problem (I guess there are different hardware versions, I have a red one and he's got the black one)

The leds are bright when the kernel is booting and in recovery mode, but they get dimmed when the system booted up and IlluminationFix.apk (in custom roms) starts.

Any suggestions? :confused:

It really annoys me that I can't fix that. :mad:
[Moto 360] jackdawfool:
We have two moto 360s. On one of them it seems to be impossible to actually read received text messages if you receive more than one text from the same person.

Instead of displaying the text of the messages, the notification on the watch will just say the sender's name and "2 text messages received" with no apparent way to view the messages. If you catch the notification when only one text has been received, you can read the single text just fine.

On the other moto 360, it just displays all of the received texts, and doesn't summarize them with a count. That is, you can just keep scrolling down and can read all of the texts in a big list.

The watch having the problem is running 5.01 android wear connected to a Note 4 with android 4.4.4.

The watch that lets you actually read the text messages is running 4.4W.2 android wear and is connected to a Note 3 with android 4.4.2.

Anyone have any ideas? Is this something that just works better on the older software? Not being able to actually read the text messages on the moto 360 breaks one of the major functions of the device!

[Nexus 5 General] Isus <3:
Today early in the morning (now it's 2am here) my Nexus 6 arrived and I was playing with it whole day comparing it with nexus 5. I was disappointed and I'm selling it, why? Here's why

1. Nexus 5 is faster.. I restored back pure stock on nexus 5 so the battle is even and I installed same apps and did speed test. Nexus 5 won at every app except Facebook(sometimes would nexus 5 win, sometimes nexus 6).. Multitasking was Tie. Nexus 5 did boot faster 3 seconds quicker. Although on the antunu nexus 6 has 10k higher score, weird.

2. That thing is so big that I can't hold it. I have feel that I have tablet in my pocket not a damn phone.

3. I don't like the design. Nexus 5 on the desk looks so much sexier.

There are also pros for this phone such as:

1. Battery is so much better, I got 6 sot and I was using it whole day and I still have 20 percent.

2. Camera.. Blows out nexus 5 out of the water

3. Display

.. So if you want to spend that much money for nexus 6 feel free but trust me it's not worth it.
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
Similar experience for me at the N6 launch in addition to some screen dull brightness. It has its pros and cons, and I returned mine after two weeks. Just like the Nexus5 form factor much better!
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
There - FTFY ;)

The performance drop is because of the encryption, and it is possible to disable that (instructions on XDA). Folks claim a significant improvement. I'm happy with the N6's performance (compared to my trusty N5), so I kept encryption as it is.

Size/Design - well, shouldn't be a surprise - countless reviews stated that the size was big. But I agree - till you hold it in your hand, you don't really realize how big it is. I switched from N5 to N6, and for the first week, found the N6 uncomfortable to handle. Now, the N5 just feels tiny! I'm 5'9", so not really that large.

To each their own I guess
[Nexus 5 General] gwiefterluchs:
i fully agree :good::laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] psycho693:
Your point about benchmarks. That proves that they are subjective but good reference and also pointless masturbation lol but I agree none the less with what you have said
[Nexus 5 General] arpitnathany:
Yes benchmarks are subjective but in this case disk speed benchmarks would have been more telling. Disk speeds on the nexus 6 are much slower than the nexus 5 which is the cause for it performing slower than the nexus 5. Definitely the root cause of this is encryption.
[Nexus 5 General] 1234west:
You could sell that to me OP :)
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:

[Nexus 5 General] bradputt:
display?? N6 amoled display is crap compared to n5
[Nexus 5 General] ixon2001:
If i was going to get a Phablet i go for the Note 4 over the Nexus 6 any day of the week, I just don't like the Nexus 6 there is no point to it at all with it being that big without features that take advantage of the screen size.

The Nexus 6 should have been a Nexus 5 2014 edition a 5.2" device made by LG based in some ways on the G3 but with a Snapdragon 805 & 3GB of ram & a QHD screen & better battery life.

As it stands the Nexus 5 is a thing of beauty it minimal design looks superb, and can still hold it head up high against all current crop of smartphones.
[Nexus 5 General] Isus <3:
I prefer oled displays because of pixels not turning on on black color and some colors look better to me.
[Nexus 5 General] jineshpatel30:
the only difference you will notice in nexus 6 is that when putting "heavy" games in background and opening again you won't see "loading" screen again ( like N5 ) but this is due to it's massive 3Gb ram nothing more
[Nexus 5 General] Isus <3:
Yeah I noticed that when nexus 5 has over 10 apps in recent menu opened, above it will have to reload. On nexus 6 it goes up to 20
[Nexus 5 General] PixPi:
I think N6 will get better and better in time by the updates.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcretro:
We are on AT&T US. Time to replace both our aging smart phones. I am planning to upgrade on th AT&T NEXT plan.

ANY reason to stay away from the Moto-X second generation? My wife wants a very good camera. What would you suggest?

What other phone would you guys recommend? (We don't want the huge Note like phones)

We are also considering:

Samsung Galaxy S5

Lg G3

HTC M8.

Appreciate any comments, we want to pick one up at bestbuy this weekend!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
I had the LG G3 (T-Mobile) and now the moto X. The moto X is just like my nexus 5 was, but better with all the hands free stuff.

I did not like the G3 as I felt it stuttered too much when using it. I will say this though, the G3 had an amazing camera, much better than my moto X.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinxerfelix:
My Nexus 10 does not respond (other than charging) when the USB is plugged in. I've tried multiple cables, two computers and a laptop. No dice.

Even using Terminal Emulator on the NEXUS 10 itself, "adb devices" returns a blank list.

I've rebooted, I've turn debug on and off, I've switched on/off MTP and PTP in the storage options.

I'm desperate to flash back to 4.4.4, this OTA Lolipop update has made my tablet so slow that it's useless.

Am I missing something, or is my Nexus borked?

Hi Babak,

When you sync your PPC through USB port via the Microsoft ActiveSync, it will show a sync connection icon at the lower right hand side on your screen of your PPC. At the bottom right hand side of your PPC. I am not sure, but I believe it is called the task bar.

You don't have to look now at the Microsoft ActiveSync to make sure if you are synced or not. If the icon is shown at your PPC, then your PPC ise properly synced with your PC.

Thanks again, :)

Do it on your PC:

1- Click Start --> Run --> type "regedit"

2- Find on your registry brower HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services

3- Add a DWORD with name = "AllowLSP"

4- Set Default value = 0

[Shield General] matyas69:
Hi everyone,

After suffering a failure with portal 2(snif), I decided to try another game.

I successfully launch Counter Strike : Source on the Shield Tablet.

This is a proof of concept so there is a lots of bugs, thank you for your comprehension.

Edit2: First video(uncut), game at 1:18

[YOUTUBE]0YFqMomVA9Y[/YOUTUBE]

First screen

Edit : Wrong section xD due to the excitation, Shield instead of Shield Tablet but it's the same think, it works on both x)

Congrats, that is very cool!!! great to see some development for the shield.
[Shield General] r3pwn:
Hello! It seems that you, I, and [MENTION=5039463]legofan623[/MENTION] are the only ones interested in this type of thing. If you want, I can give you a few pointers to help you overcome many issues.

Now, I don't know the specifics of CS:S, but I know Portal 2 will not run on an outdated engine (meaning that only NVIDIA would be able to make it work).

To get rid of those "ERROR" textures, you need to go through the games files and un-capitalize the name of every file you see. On larger games, this would require using a bulk-renaming tool. If you want me to help you out with this at all, just let me know. :)

I just watched from the video and I'm sorry to say that I don't think this is going to work. It is unlikely that multiplayer or weapons would be possible using an older client.
[Shield General] legofan623:
I recommend spacetornado renamer if you're on windows.
[Shield General] matyas69:
CSS is a mod of Half Life 2 so the game engine is really near.

For Portal 2, i did not do too many illusions x).

No worry about the error textures, that's my fault and i really know how fix that(by the way already fixed the first day). No need a bulk renaming tool i find a other way for launch larger games.

Don't be sorry, the only missing is the overlay which is start the game, i need rewrite some lib.
[Shield General] Swiggy:
Will this ever be finished? Just asking.
[Shield General] Pielover98:
Progress?

Hey matyas69 I'm a developer and am very interested in this project. I was wondering how you went about doing it. Also what is the progress on it. And do you need any help. Me and a friend have been interested in porting some source games to shield for a while and would be more than happy to help you out on this project. I really want to see this happen
[Shield General] The5thSurvivor:
I am VERY interested in this :D Any info on how to do this? Would love to see all Source games running on the Shield.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] MTKnife:
I've read in several different places that people use Nova Launcher with the Fire TV. Since I've already purchased Nova Launcher Prime, I figured this would be a particularly good option for me.

The problem I'm running into is that I can't launch most of the Amazon apps. If I try Amazon Video, the screen just flashes and then goes back to the app drawer. If I tried Appstore or Amazon Music, I get "permission denid" (Amazon FreeTime, oddly enough, works just fine, as does the Fire TV App Tutorial, but I don't need either of those :P). My Fire TV is rooted, and running the latest firmware version.

Has anyone else seen this, and if so, do you have a solution? I can't find any mention of it by searching the web, which makes me think it might be an issue introduced with recent firmware versions. It occurred to me it might have something to do with root: when I rooted my daughter's Kindle Fire, we couldn't watch Amazon videos on it without turning root off temporarily. I can't find a way to turn off root temporarily using SU on the Fire TV, though--there's no way to launnch SuperSU from Settings, and attempting to launch it from the Nova app drawer does nothing.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] MTKnife:
Given this problem, I abandoned Nova Launcher and tried several other things. XBMC/SPMC is nice, but it doesn't give easy access to Android apps, without some finagling (I'll install the non-launcher version of SPMC so that my wife can browse TV). I've seen mentions of several launchers for Google TV or Android set top boxes, but most of those can't be found anymore, or they don't work on the Fire TV.

However, I eventually was able to make Nova work, by adding a shortcut to the Fire TV Launcher on a home screen: when adding something to a home screen, select "Shortcuts", then "Activities". There are several paths to the Fire TV home screen, the simplest probably being the "Home" activity under "KFTV Launcher"--there's also at least one under "Android System" (the one ending in "ChooserActivity"), and another somewhere else I can't remember. Once I put the shortcut in place, I edited the icon, using the green one for Amazon Instant Video. Interestingly, even using the Activities Shortcuts method, you can't go directly into videos, music, etc.--you get a "Permission denied".

Of course, to make Nova work as the launcher, I'm using rbox's mods package, which includes support for an alternate launcher: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2786618
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] MTKnife:
OK...so the above solution isn't completely unproblematic: if any apps are open (including apps opened directly from Nova--even sideloaded apps), opening the Fire TV Launcher goes to those apps. The only way I've been able to get back to the menu (other than hitting the "Back" button a lot) is to go into System Settings from Nova Launcher. What I probably need is an app that'll force stop KFTV--but that's ugly and time-consuming. Any suggestions?

EDIT: That was easy. When creating app shortcuts on the Nova home screen, I hadn't seen a KFTV Launcher app--but it's there, called "Home", and that one always goes to the KFTV home menu.

Got my Gear VR on Christmas eve, loving it so far but not played with it for hours at a time so not had a problem with the battery as yet,

but I was thinking that maybe attaching a QI pad to the back of the phone would allow you to play longer?

Not had chance to have a go yet, but there could be problems with heat & maybe the weight of the QI pulling the Gear down on your nose, that would be bad for me as i have a BIG nose lol

But just a idea if anyone wants to give it a go?

P.S

Happy Christmas to all :)

I'm just getting an extended battery and attaching a piece of foam to the cover plate to hold it in place. It'll add some weight, but I'd rather have the 10Ah battery and be able to watch movies all day :p
[Samsung Gear VR] darekz:
I have seen inexpensive wireless charging cards on amazon. I think it would be easier to just remove micro usb end from cable and solder it straight to card. I dont think wireless charging would keep up with power demand. They are usually rated 0.6 A while factory charger is 2.4 A.
[Samsung Gear VR] Deblow:
Good idea! ;)

Good point, Its a shame Samsung didn't add a battery compartment to the Gear VR to give us the choice of extra power/weight :(
