HTC 8S Unbranding

Hi, I'm thinking to debrand the 8S I* have. Main reason would be to change the default language to Spanish since the phone doesn't let me through settings (stuck on English[UK]), the other is to be able to use Cortana in Spanish since as far as I know ( just google "cortana language support" I would insert link, but I'm too new to do so at the moment ), its available in Europe. I got the phone from Verizon in Canada, but I got another phone and I gifted this to my mother-in-law who is Mexican and lives in Mexico, I bought the sim-unlock from Verizon ( dam rip-off if you ask me..) and she is using the phone since May 2014. There are several Qs I got about the process:

1: Does this delete information or it leaves everything intact (settings, personal files or what-have-you)

2: How do I check what is the CID of my phone

3: I see the flash file contains the Spanish language (Europe), so if I debrand, then I assume I will be able to change the phone language to it, would that be permanent (as in being a 1 time choice or will I be able to switch around the Languages through settings)

4: What other benefits to be gained with this procedure

I already updated to 8.10.14219.341 version through Dev.

Thanx for all and any enlightenment on the subject!
[Windows Phone 8s by HTC] nexus-digital:
I had exactly the same CID and I did exactly every step to unlock my Orange Locked phone, and didn't work. The flash would go and complete successfully and after the initial set-up the phone ended up having no signal. Sent the phone to service and they replaced it with a new unit (strange???). The second one came with simlock of course!

Tried again, same result, no signal... (NO SERVICE) warning even after entering SIM PIN (sim was there, and detected). Sent it back to service, came back with a paper saying "We couldn't identify the problem stated by you." and unlocked (strange x2) ... But at least it's unlocked now.

Try the debranding/unlocking method at your own risk!

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpkacts238:
Is anyone else furious and wondering why we just paid money for a phone with less features? On my Galaxy note 3 I could snooze alarms with my voice, and on my note edge I can not. I contacted Samsung and they said they removed that feature. Is there anyway to get it back? I don't want to use a 3rd party app.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightelfdruid:
I know you clearly said you don't want a 3rd party app, but almost everything is better than the stock alarm. Wake Voice gives you voice activated snooze. After waking you it can also read the news, your horoscope, your schedule, and play the radio.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pieces of cake:
No.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emgee4g:
used every day

I too use the voice snooze option every day...any way to load the old version onto the new edge? 3rd party is ok and like the look of the new alarm (doesn't really matter since I'm sleeping, but...) would like that voice snooze/stop option back...thank you

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Rebel60:
Hi, Is there a easy way via an app, wi-fi transfer, usb device to device, to copy the apps and settings/passwords from a Non-rooted Verizon S5 phone to a non-rooted Note 10.1 (2014) tablet? Or do I have to manually download each app from the play store to the tablet? My phone apps should all be stored on the sdcard. I don't know where password data & etc is stored. Basically I want the tablet set up the same as my phone with same apps.

Thanks if anyone can help. I searched for any threads on this & didn't find anything, unless I didn't make the right search.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] darthleland66:
Helium

ClockworkMod makes a cool non-root backup solution called Helium. It has 2 components: A PC app and a local app you can get through the Play Store. There are some apps that will come back as disallowed for backup, but the majority of them will allow you to transfer your app data. I used it successfully when I upgraded my wife's tablet and my phone. It's also worth spending the 5 bucks to get the premium version as it will allow you to backup and restore the apps and data to your Google Drive (cloud) as well.

The only downside I have found to this app, other than the fact that some apps are not able to backup (i.e. Chase Mobile) is that you have to use the PC app to enable backups every time you restart your phone/tablet. When you initially download it, you have to connect your phone/tablet to your PC and enable the Helium backup. As long as you don't restart your phone/tablet, you can backup as much as you want on that particular session. If you have to restart either device for some reason, you'll have to re-authorize Helium to make backups. It can be annoying, but it's a small price to pay to transfer your existing data and apps.

PM me for links, as I haven't made enough posts to be able to include them here.

Hope that helps!
[Verizon LG G2] lankyboy29:
Would anyone know of a way to get the lg g2 to auto boot while on a charge or any power. That is I want the phone to turn on when it receives an AC signal if its off.

Any suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickswe:
Hi,

I created a backup using TWRP at first, and it was successfully stored on /SDCARD/TWRP/BACKUP/LGD855.../*

I then connected my LG G3 phone to my PC and copied the backup to my PC, and then deleted the LGD855.../ folder from the SDCARD.

This was with KitKat.

I then flashed Lollipop and now I made another backup with TWRP, but now it is no longer stored under /SDCARD/TWRP/BACKUP/LGD855.../*

but under /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUP/LGD855.../*

Why is that? And is it possible to make TWRP backups stored in the original destination (/SDCARD/...) ?

Quick facts:

* Phone is LG G3 D855

* Running TWRP 2.8.0.0_d855

* Previously ran KitKat rom when files were stored under /SDCARD/, now running Lollipop when files gets stored under /data/media/0/TWRP

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mitchbaria,

have you tested the water resistance? DO you think i could do surfing with it?

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] mitchbaria:
I'm a watch repairman,,,typically i only fool with real mechanical watches, but i couldn't resist the opportunity to look closely at this...upon opening it you'll see it does have seals in it so it does provide some level of water resistance,,how much will depend on the speaker and Mic port openings, that i don't know. I have not got mine wet but I'd feel comfortable to say it's splash proof....I've rooted mine using kingo and is amazing all that it'll do.....I recommend the app "button saviour" as its a must for usability, also minimuum keyboard is something else worth looking at.....i still don't believe there's a custom rom available and I'm happy with the OC it does more then I'll ever do with it.....
[Other SmartWatches] airtemisa:
Thanks Mitch! I think you´re right: the mic and speaker will be the weaker side. Maybe with something covering that parts to prevent great pressure changes due to big splashes, may be it would work... i´m thinking about tape! :) :confused:

[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
It's a rebrand of an Omate clone. This means that most mods and some ROMs for the Truesmart should work. When the clones initially came out they were actually flashed with TS firmware. It should be IP67 IF the QC was 100% spot on. From a watch point of view, the TS and clones are the equivalent of a $20 discount store watch. It's best to assume that QC was not 100%.

[MENTION=5729567]mitchbaria[/MENTION] , you say you do watch repair. What brands and do you have watchmaking experience? There is an ongoing project where that skill set, knowledge, and resources would be very helpful.

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] droidiser:
My Redmi 1s fell face down on the floor from about 2-3 feet and unfortunately, the screen cracked. The touch and display are still fully working. Called Xiaomi India customer support and they said that they have no idea about how much it might cost to get the screen replaced.

Called the exclusive service center in Delhi, they've quoted a price of Rs. 4.2k. I can't afford that.

Update: I ordered a replacement screen from AliExpress and replaced it to get my phone working as good as new. I have shared my experience in this blog post of mine. Might help others who unfortunately enter the same situation.

Then I found this alibaba link on the miui forum: http://m.aliexpress.com/item/322154...dmi-1S-Touch-Panel-Replacement-with-Digitizer

Is it the same as the Redmi 1s touch panel available on ebay India?

Would this spare part be enough to resolve my issue? Will it be possible for me to replace it myself (there is a tutorial present on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKHPtfRaAa8) or to take this (alibaba) screen to a local shopand pay them Rs. 100-200 to get it replaced? Or if anyone knows any shop in Delhi which can replace the broken glass only (and not the whole display) with a new one?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] disastrous.sahil:
4200 just for display?

U can get used redmi 1s at this price :p
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] AkkiV:
I happened to as well. But not as bad as yours and everything's working fine. I tried calling them but they left me with the same answer. :(
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] nishant12819:
just use tempered glass screen guard
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] naved97:
Redmi 1s Touch and Display are attached, which means that you cannot separate them, If your Touch and Display is working but the glass is broken that simply means that your Touch is broken but it is working and + no damage on your display. But unfortunately Due to the attachment of Touch and Display, your Display is also waste. you cannot separate them. In this case Flipkart will not Replace the device and Service Center will not claim the warranty because of self damage. Service Center in Mumbai (Borivali) are charging Rs 3700/- and in market Display and Touch together are available at prize of Rs 2700/-, Actual cost of device is 6000/- and then spending so much for just repairing is Useless, I suggest you to sell your Redmi 1s motherboard this is only better solution for you right now.

I am with you. Right now I would go to a different version. The previous LSVW or another build. I am trying the mtty thing but I am running vista and cannot get NBHextract to work.

If you do not want to risk it maybe holding off a day and checking back for an update. These guys are fast. Also like I said go to a different version. I flashed the revious LSVW os only and it worked 3 times in a row perfect

for black 1.3 i will release two versions

one with SPL and OS (with RUU 3.6)

and

this will give u an option

I also got the white screen of death. lol.

i used the version that was posed on the main page. After the update and initial boot the white screen comes on.

I was able to bypass this after several resets. Then it will start the customisation process. After which it will restart and go to a white today screen with no icons. I do have the task bars at top and bottom but no dialer.

My fix. I went and dl RUU_HER_6.20.100.0_0.00.00.00_XDA_WWE_XBOW_Custom. I installed it and works like it did before. :)

I will wait till there is a fix for this...

Also if you are not sure and feel nervous about bricking it, then just wait for a proper fix.

Finally I got the white screen a few times and everytime I flashed the previous LSVW os only the device worked perfect. From my reading Olipro may have found the problem haveing to do with bad blocks. Nothing major but I believe they are working on it currently.

Question ?

Hi All,

Sorry N00b alert at this .. but very IT literate

Just a quick question off the cuff, what was the last(est) version (can you provide a link) that i can flash to now .. (not mucking around seperating stuff etc) that wont give me the white screen issue.

I am currently sitting on LSVW 25/3 1.38.10 radio and 1.13oli

Thanx test:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Olipro:
1.35.Olipro is RELEASED, go download it and re-flash the OS (if necessary)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JR_de:
Hard-SPL 1.35olipro was just released - install it and then you don't have to fear the white screen issue anymore.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Olipro:
sadly I can't verify that just yet... but I'm pretty confident ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JR_de:
I really believe in you ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] test7875:
just flashed 1.35oli ... still have white screen .. about to load the os again only

So currently i have radio 1.30.30.10 and 1.35oli(Hard SPL v5) (and a bonus white screen)

Will load LSVW 26/3 (OS only) now .. and post results shortly ..

HERES Hoping .. Ive got outta control random white screens today. :'(

TEST
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Olipro:
do make sure you don't use SSPL to flash... it'll overwrite the SPL again.

also, after flashing, enter the bootloader manually to verify you have 1.35
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] test7875:
I did use SSPL .. and i have the white screen still ,,

Any suggestions? In order ?? and i will try them now.

Im assuming I should have chosen HARD SPL? when reloading the OS?

YOU OVERWROTE THE ****ING BOOTLOADER YOU IDIOT.

manually enter bootloader, I'll bet you ****ing anything it reads SPL-1.30.Olipro

Use SSPL to flash the bootloader ONLY.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] test7875:
ok all white and only white ..

YOU OVERWROTE THE ****ING BOOTLOADER YOU IDIOT.

manually enter bootloader, I'll bet you ****ing anything it reads SPL-1.30.Olipro

Woah .. ease up there champ ..

tell me in order ... what you want me to do .. and i will .. ill post the results immediately ..

Hopefully somke good for all can come out of this ... additionally i am very appreciative of the help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Olipro:
read the previous post of mine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Olipro:
ok, for someone who isn't a TOTAL AND COMPLETE ****WIT:

1) flash 1.35 using SSPL

2) flash OS ROM using Hard-SPL... not SSPL.

3) see if it works or not.
