[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndvid:
Hi all,

so I got my M8 like three weeks ago and made the ultimate mistake of not backing up MY factory ROM before flashing stuff. I went ahead and, following a guide from 'teh internets', turned my phone into a Google Play Edition after a successful S-Off with SunShine. About a week later, I started missing some Sense features and tried to revert back to stock which proved difficult at first due to partition size issues. Finally, I was successfully following a mixture of several guides in this very forum, flashing different combinations and versions of stock ROMs, firmwares and recoveries. I'm on Sense again. Last thing I can't get rid of is a message in HTC Tell that's talking about a testing device and how I could not turn off HTC Tell for that reason.

Long story short, I do now have a phone that reads:

*** Software status: Official ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF
CID-HTC__102
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
RADIO-XXX
OpenDSP-XXX
OS-3.28.401.7
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Oct 10 2014,00:20:35.0

Unfortunately, I do not exactly remember which Recovery I flashed last. I'm pretty sure it was one from the Stock Backup & OTA Collection thread. If I go into recovery, I get a red triangle and nothing happens.

Now for my question, I want some features of Lollipop really bad and I know HTC is going to come out with their Lollipop-Sense in about two weeks. I would gladly wait and go for it instead of starting over and turn my phone into a GPE again. Question is, will I get the Sense OTA or is there anything that will keep me from it?

Thanks a lot for reading and any information I got (and hopefully will get in the future) from the folks on this awesome forum!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you are on the appropriate stock ROM for your CID, and corresponding stock recovery, you will get the OTA.

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Red triangle is stock recovery. However, its not clear whether its the

right

stock recovery. You need to be on the stock ROM for your CID, and the recovery needs to be the one that matches that software number. Just find the stock ROM (and corresponding recovery) for your CID on the following thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

There is no harm in restoring the correct stock ROM and recovery over whatever you have now (whether the current state is correct for your CID or not). But being on the correct stock ROM and recovery will put you in the right place for OTA.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndvid:
Thanks for the explanation.

So it is safe to assume that if I flash TWRP now and restore the 3.28.401.6 nandroid and recovery from this thread, I should A) get the OTA from .6 to .9 and later on B) the Sense-Lollipop OTA?

Sorry for the redundancy of my question but without a speedy internet connection, downloading ROMs is a time-consuming project, so I want to get it right the first time now. ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you restore to .6, it won't install the .6 OTA since its already on that version. But yes, it should install any "more up-to-date" OTAs (and then any future OTAs as they are released) in sequence once you return to stock and check for updates.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndvid:
Thanks again. I will report back after flashing.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndvid:
Well, it worked - I think. However, a little more research showed that the red text in HTC Tell is present because I unlocked my phone, particularly the bootloader, via HTCDev. I will consider to revert that change in the future.

I restored (via TWRP) the stock 3.28.401.6 and flashed the corresponding stock recovery. Unfortunately, no update is to be found yet (according to the OTA collection, there should be an update from .6 to .9 which I hoped to get automagically or on manual query in phone settings).

For the time being, I can download the OTA myself from the awesome collection and then update manually through stock recovery, I suppose.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The device will come up as a "test device" since its s-off.

I'm not that familiar with the WWE updates, as its not my version. So I don't know of the .7 and .9 updates deployed to all folks in all regions that have the WWE version, etc. You might check with folks that know more about the WWE updates.

I love the feature to mute the phone when the watch is paired, because the vibration gets to me each time, and I don't need the phone ringing.

The issue however, is when I put my watch down for charging every night, then I won't be able to hear any calls or messages.

Is there a way for the phone to unmute when the watch is charging? or not in hand?

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadRinga:
So, i ordered a new Droid Turbo yesterday morning and last night my Maxx completely crapped out on me for no apparent reason.

it just rebooted randomly and now won't get past the red droid circle. rebooted it many times, went into recovery and cleared cache... i'd rather not lose the several days of text messages since my last backup.

I've got plenty of time and feel determined to fix this. anyone got any suggestions? adb isn't loading during the boot sequence.

can i use something to flash /system without flashing /data to see if that helps? i stopped looking at flashing things once i got this phone so i am pretty unaware if there is a process.

Since my new phone arrives today i really see no reason to wipe this one. I'd rather just mess around with it to see if i can fix it. Anyone have any ideas?

wifi etc

search fo batterystatus. it can do it

I been using batterystatus for sometimes but it cant add Wifi/BT to today plugin

There's an extended version of that program that's still in beta that will allow you to add the BT/Wi-Fi onto the Today screen.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] nm8:
this is from the wiki page, tested it on my Artemis and it works:

By just adding following keys to the registry will get you a nice 'wireless' today item that show Network name/status, WiFi name/status as well as Bluetooth status. Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs

Thanks for the tip. Anyway to improve it say with buttons that could activate the WiFi and Bluetooth?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] der_roedie:
You could also put the HTC Homeplug on the Today-screen. With the Commanager you can easily switch on WIFI, BT and other things. It would take 2 clicks to turn WIFI or BT on or off then :D

Also SBP Pocket Plus would be able to do the trick. With that program you can pin programs to your todayscreen.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kael710:
It's a very good buy for the money. Buttons on the back were something I was worried of, but now I cannot imagine my life without them :D

Snapdragon 800 still can manage anything you throw at it and the camera, the display (slim bezels and such colors, I love it!) and the battery are just outstanding.

As for comparison between Xperia Z1 ang G2 I would choose the G2 thousand times, Z1's got a little faster camera but I would stand that s****y display and the big clumsy body. The xperia Z line are the most impractical phones I've ever had in my hand (I also tried the Z2).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
Go for it.. Its cheap now and still great.

I Had one, sold it and got the Xperia Z3. Got tired waiting for Root exploit, bought another G2 again with erased IMEI, restored IMEI.. Love it again,. Best phone i ever had. HAIL the G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alb3rtt:
Me personally, id go with the xperia. Such a premium feeling device with waterproofing (which is good since 1 device ive had died due to water..) and the stock rom is by far one of the best IMO, if not the best. The camera quality was relatively equal but the z2 seemed to film better (or at least at a higher consistent framerate while the g2 even with 60fps selected can drop frames). Only issue is that there is a lack of development for the z2. Sure there are some roms and kernels, but there arent as many roms and kernels there when compared to the g2 (this is z2 development, z1 may be different). The speaker of the z2 was much better as well (however, the z1 is probably worse than the z2 and equal to the g2).

In the end, id still choose the xperia... Such a shame mine cracked so easily as they're generally really tough devices.

The battery life of the z2 was also noticably better in my own experience, however, thats probably due to the stamina mode included.

My only issue is that this is my experience with the Z2, not Z1. They are similar devices but not identical and a lot of the pluses of the z2 i listed might not be in the z1. (Like speaker or battery life)

Get the G2!

You will get a bigger screen, thinner bezels, Better battery life, double tap to wake and it's smaller than the z1:)

And the z1 has an annoying problem with the touch screen where it stops registering touches for a little while (unimaginably annoying when it happens during scrolling) and the screen looks yellow,that makes my head hurt

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberguru:
I would find it hard to recommend this phone to anyone.

Just to add to the issues seen by some

I have touch screen issues, in fact the whole screen is crap. The colour and brightness aren't anywhere as good as my wife's Galaxy Note 2 (yes, Note 2, not a typo. A phone more than a year older than my Z1 has a better screen). The touch screen doesn't work properly at all, you just get used it it. It's not accurate and slow to track movement of your finders. Add to that the fact that it seems to completely ignore your touches when you've been using the phone for a bit (possibly temp issues?) and it makes playing games impossible... and like [MENTION=5822468]masterofnocrack[/MENTION] said, when your dragging or trying to flick through a long list, it randomly selects something from the list and you've no idea what you just tapped on, it gets more than infuriating.

Locking up - my phone will decide at frequent times to lock up. It will not turn on from sleeping (screen off, standby, whatever it's called). I had resorted to holding VolUp+Power to force it to reboot but then found out that if I just wait it will come back on it's own. It's like some app is using 100% of the CPU and lock's the OS up. I seemed to get the problem most of the time when running apps like Endomondo where it keeps tracking GPS etc while in standby but since uninstalling Endo, its still the same. Not really a Z1 issue but more Firmware, but still a nail in the already tightly nailed down coffin. Also screws with Tasker (see below)...

I did have issues with the OS killing background apps like Tasker (which is really annoying because if Tasker gets killed, all my profiles and settings got messed up so I could be out of the house with no mobile data enabled or in the car with no bluetooth), but I rolled back a ROM version to fix that. (I'm on stock ROM/Kernel but rooted.)

I would sell my own children for a new phone, which is probably a good reason I don't have any kids.

Look somewhere else. If the G2 drops out of the running too, keep looking. DO NOT get a Z1.

I know some will disagree and perhaps think I'm being a bit harsh; and if you've got a Z1 and it works perfectly, good for you and congrats. But knowing what I know now, I wouldn't take the chance of getting a Z1 that has issues.

One more thing to add, and once more, YMMV; piss-poor data rates. WiFi signal is weak at best. The WiFi signal goes down to 1 or zero bars in some rooms in my house but doesn't actually disconnect from the WiFi so the transfer speed is so slow I turn WiFi off and use either H+ or the odd 4G signal I get. You might be thinking "well you're obviously too far away from the router you pillock." Well, maybe an upstairs room is too far... maybe it's not. My wife's Note 2 can still use the WiFi all over the house, my Tab 4 can use the WiFi, my Raspberry Pi with a cheap ass god damn WiFi dongle off eBay can use the WiFi, but not this piece of crap phone.

In a decent H+ signal area, an iPhone 4 beats this with download speeds using mobile data. I have gotten 20Mb/s on 4G (1 bar in my house which was impressive but a fluke as I've never seen that speed again). Looking at speedtest results isn't exactly the be and end all of deciding which phone to get, but it's just another area this phone fails.
