[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10rdan:
If I want to convert my carrier locked m8, Vodafone, to 401 unlocked, what is the correct steps and sequence ?

Am I right with this...

1. S-off with sunshine after taking out box AND before taking any ota updates.

2. Install custom recovery. (So I can flash stock 401 ROM)

3. Flash firmware that matches ROM

4. Flash stock recovery.

The only real doubts I have are the order of steps especially firmware and ROM.

Is it firmware or ROM first ?

Thanks

the only drawback to doing the firmware after the rom is the rom will not have wifi on the old firmware

So the correct order is

unlock bootloader

flash custom recovery / root

s-off

flash firmware

flash rom

flash stock recovery

take updates

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10rdan:
Been thinking about this, cause I like to have things clear before starting.

If I s-off with sunshine, because it will unlock bootloader without using HTCdev, then

1. Flash TWRP

2. Take nand

3. Then run this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001609293

4. Take any ota updates

Will that remove the need to flash 401 firmware, ROM and stock recovery as 3 individual processes ?

Thanks

Edit, will change cid to HTC__001 before running RUU.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
The RUU will certainly shorten the update process ...Running Sunshine to unlock the bootloader without Root could be a problem
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10rdan:
Sunshine unlocked my bootloader ok with the m8 I'm using just now. Can't remember which hboot I was on at the time. Wasn't rooted, completely stock.

That's why I intend using sunshine BEFORE I take any ota updates, ie, as soon as I get it out the box.

Didn't use sunshine to, primarily, unlock bootloader at the time. It was a welcome "extra".

Cheers

Edit

Copied from Sunshine web site........

SunShine unlocks your device's bootloader and sets it to s-off (HTC ONLY). SunShine does NOT install root binaries on the device. There are a few ways to root your device after using SunShine. The most common and reliable method would be to flash TWRP recovery to your device via fastboot, and flash the root binaries or a rooted ROM from within TWRP.

Same Question...

So, i've been reading a lot but still don't understand everything right...

I already use sunshine and now my AT&T (4.4.3 by RUU (this)) is s-off and bootloader unlocked. What should be my next step? Just run that RUU that you post will work? And after that i can flash any ROM that need 4.4.4?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What are you trying to do exactly? If your intent is to convert to WWE version, or run the phone on non-AT&T networks, that what you describe is probably right.

If you intend to just update firmware and run the phone on AT&T's network, I don't personally recommend the WWE firmware, as it has caused issues for a lot of folks on AT&T.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guire01:

Hello all,

I've written a watchdog that allows to catch a moment when the storage card is corrupted and softreset before the driver flushes FAT and root folder.

More details are here:

http://www.nixie.narod.ru/sdsentry/index-en.htm

I hope this will help you.

Any feedback is welcome.

I'm online with MSN merkin@mail.ru (also it is my email)

Does anyone know the workaround with the WM5torage program?.....everytime i launch this app the SD-Sentry red icon appears saying that there is a corruption but when i check the storage card its fine.......thanks in advance
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ink:
WM5torage disables the storage card for the orbit as long as it is active. During that time it is only accessible by the PC. Other programs like Tomtom do not work, because they can't find their data on the card. So does SDsentry.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] veroweed:
Dear programmer,

your program seems to be a fine PlugIn for the XDA-Error with destroyed directorys oon the SD-Card.

Unfortunately your program is working in english devices only as it seems.

In german devices where the storage card is named "Speicherkarte" from the german WM5 your program will creating a new folder named "storage card" where it puts its check-files SdSentry.txt into each existing directory. No SdSentry.txt-file in any Dirs on the storage card.

In the dialogwindow of SdSentry the storage card is names "Speicherkarte".

The real storage card is not recogniced and protected in this way, as I assume.

Or did I something wrong?

Will you program a german version of SdSentry too?

I would be very glad about.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] veroweed:
because of the described problem, I wrote a mail to the programer of SdSentry.

A solution was coming back immediately, how to install SdSentry im devices with other WM5-languages than english.

The program has a little bug to find the real storage card and creates instead a directory named "storage card" in the root of the device, that contains two directorys named "My Documents" and "Programme". In each of this three folders SdSentry creates a txt-file "SdSentry.txt" for verifiing the directury-structure for accessibility later.

For getting SdSentry working on german devices (analog other languages), copy following files:

\\storage card\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte(or however the name of your real storage card is)\SdSentry.txt

\\storage card\My Documents\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\My Documents\SdSentry.txt

\\storage card\Programme\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\Programme\SdSentry.txt

After copying the three files, you can delete the folder \\storage card with its subdirs "My Documents" and "Programme"

Since I've did this modifications, SdSentry seems to work well on my german-XDA Orbit.

Hoping it avoids more crashs of my SD-Card.

What a fun sitting in the car and loosing Navi, adresses and all tasks for today out of the HTC. May driving back to office and reinstalling the device.

I won't count how much time cause of this this worthless phone I had loosen last weeks.

I present you FingerLock.

FingerLock is an Xposed module compatible with Note 4 which gives you the ability to protect your apps with the fingerprint.

FingerLock does not need to run background services. When you launch a locked app, FingerLock detects the event and asks for your fingerprint without impacting performances or battery.

i have been using the print lock by now from http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/themes-apps/app-fingersecurity-fingerprint-lock-apps-t2818896 and i felt few things

1. when i set lock on gallery i cant seen to set wallpaper

can you try long press home scree > wallpaper > homescreen > gallery and set any image ( this is while is set set gallery locked)

2. apps seems to take abit more time when i unlock them as i felt just a bit more time

thanks dev if you can just test these things
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] invano:
Thanks for your feedback!

1. nice catch! I have tried it and you are right! I will have a look at it for sure and the problem is that something is lost during the transition.

2. Yes, you are right and it is a sort of compromise between a running background service and something that is launched only when it is needed.

I'll try to explain you how FingerLock work.

When you open a locked app, the locked app calls FingerLock and kill itself. If you pass the fingerprint check, FingerLock will reopen the now unlocked app. So your feeling is not bad ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Er. Aditya:
1. the interface looks great

2. the app is awesome

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] invano:
I can't tell you which is better :)

The concept of FingerLock is basically one. Being able of locking apps without having to constantly run a background service on your phone.

This is why FingerLock doesn't work without xposed.

[Google Chromecast] Badeend1337:
Hello guys,

I am thinking about buying a Chromecast. The only thing that stops me is the protection of it.

I currently live in a big student house with 16 other people. The wifi network is shared with all of us. I'm pretty sure some of my housemates are going to troll me with the Chromecast since it's so easy to connect to it.

The question is if there is a way to protect my future Chromecast by whatever method (whitelist, password etc).

I have no control over the router and I dont think I will get that. I also dont want to spend a lot money in buying (network) stuff.

I don't mind rooting and stuff like that.

Thanks in advance,

[Google Chromecast] mik101:
Either an HDMI able or an Ezcast device that actually supports a password. Chromecast likely will just get you trolled all day long im afraid.
[Google Chromecast] Badeend1337:
As far as I know the ezacst doesn't support android and my phone (oneplus one) doesn't support a hdmi cable...
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Really the only way to truly protect it would be to buy yourself a Travel Router with WISP support and make your own private network that only you would have the login to access.

If they have a Wired Connection then you could get any wireless router and protect it and make your own private network that still uses the main internet connection.

Other than those two methods there really is no way to protect someone from seeing and sending streams to the CCast other than unplugging it when you are not using it.

Which won't really stop them from messing with you WHILE you are using it.

So you need to select a method to create a private network within your current network that only you have access to.

Hi all,

My phone recently randomly turned itself off, after which it was halting on the coloured circles part of the bootup whenever I tried to turn it on.

I tried going to fastboot -> recovery -> "wipe data/factory reset" but it got stuck on "erasing data".

I then gave the phone to a developer at work, who tried to load up a stock ROM on the phone....however that failed and now it does not turn on at all!

Does anyone know what is wrong here or could suggest a way for me to fix this?
