Artemis uses Mini-USB which is becoming the standard choice these days, its quite robust, small and saves you lugging around dozens of different chargers and cables when on the road. If you are looking for a device that uses standard USB, then I am not aware of one, way too big - Mike

So this originally began when my phone ran into a "active cmdline" error. I got rid of this but ...

As of right now, I can get into recovery. However, I can not flash, wipe, or adb sideload, nothing because my data/cache can not mount. Using TWRP by the way.

I can adb push to my sdcard, but can't flash because I can't mound data/cache.

Holy crap I think you're on to something.

Ok, data is mounted I believe. I just can't mount cache, so still can't flash a rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
why are you trying to "mount" anything ?

you simply choose install and choose your rom, swipe to flash .. theirs no mounting anything
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nawzlew:
Because it's not letting my flash. It says "failed" with the unable to mount cache error.

Anyway .. I just tried to boot in my bootloader and now my phone won't turn on. Idk whether to laugh or cry
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
the unable to mount cache error means nothing .. it means you erased the cache ... you do it every time you flash recovery

fastboot erase cache

you most likely have a corrupt download rom .. are you md5 checking your downloads ?

to reboot to the bootloader hold volume down plus power under a Bright Light (no joke)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nawzlew:
Damn .. really?

Yeah, I've done the boot under the bright light before. First thing I tried, but nothing thus far.

Pointless question. May as well ask if there will ever be a cure for aging or human colonies on other planets. People are working on it. There's no guarantee that they will succeed, much less that they will succeed in any given time. Your question literally cannot be truthfully answered without the ability to see into the future.

With all that said, the 930 doesn't have an SD card, so many of the current hacks are not available for it. While none of those are (individually or even collectively) a full root, some of them make it a lot easier to move towards *getting* root, and therefore it's quite possible that a root hack will come out for SD-equipped phones but not for others. Or maybe that won't happen. I can't see the future...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jgowell:
When turning the phone on, there is a "droid" sound that comes on. Usually if I put my phone sound settings on silent, this sound wouldn't come on, but this doesnt seem to be the case with the Droid Turbo.

Is there a way to get rid of this sound so there isn't any noise when powering on or rebooting the phone?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mistermojorizin:
probably not without root. but as a work-around, have you tried turning off all system volume before rebooting? that works on the droid maxx. as does changing the sound file in the root directory to a silent sound file, using root.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happyhog11:
Hi Guys,

This might be a little confusing but i will do my best.....About 6 months ago i bought a htc 1 m7, love it and it worked well. Then i decided to root it which was fine but then the OTA update came out so i can make phonecalls again, but i cant install it. Spur of the moment i bought another htc one m7 of ebay because i desperately needed to make and take calls. Turned up a couple of days ago and there seems to be some interesting stuff going on. Firstly i think it is a "test device" I cant remember where but somewhere it does say that its a test device in red writing.Also compared to my old phone the screen is more "brown" as if a filter is being applied. I'm guessing a non-oem screen was fitted that isn't as good quality as the original. I checked and the bootloader is locked and is working but it is still on android 4.4.2 and sense 5.0 and it says its up to date and wont move to sense 6.0.

So currently i'm looking for a way to either "un-test device" the new htc 1 m7 as im guessing that's why its not getting the new updates, or secondly is there anyway to get the ota updates on the rooted htc 1? I'm fairly good tech guy but...being my first android phone i guess you guys would call me a noob.

One other thought i had. If i could get the new phone to update to the latest update and then i rooted it, installed cmw and did a backup could i then load that backup as a recovery on my old phone? I'm not sure if that would work or not.....

Anyway hope you guys can help me out, i dont really care which phone i end up using one has a cracked screen and the other dose not look the best i just want to have the latest updates AND be able to make phonecalls...

Thanks All,

Joel

first of all post your fastboot getvar all of the phone that says this is a test device please, remove imei and serial number before posting please, sounds s-off to me, and that's a good thing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok there's a few reasons why you may not be receiving OTA updates on the first device.

The second device (test device) Sounds like it's s-off that's not something you want to fix there are many benefits to having the device s-off. As for transferring backups between devices that should be fine as long as their both of the same model id. To be sure of all this can you please post the output of

You guys were right it is s-off but the bootloader is locked which is interesting. And they have the same model id so i can copy backup's between devices which is also cool.

So Danny you said there could be a number of reasons why my old htc is not getting the ota update, care to elaborate? i have the actual update file which is a zip saved on my pc, i just figured because it was rooted and has a different recovery than stock the ota would continue to fail, if there is a way to get it to work that would be awesome, as it would mean i wouldn't loose all my apps compared to restoring a backup from the second phone.

Cheers Guys,

Joel
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
first of all, remove imei and serial numbers from your outputs in your 2 posts, these are 2 numbers you want to keep to yourself, the s-off phone is the better one and easier to work with, leave it s-off, don't ever go s-on, you will regret it, you can follow this very simple step by step guide to get this phone receiving updates again, all the way upto lollipop: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/general/guide-convert-m7-developer-edition-t2840311 you will need to unlock the bootloader first though to do this.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Well I was first thinking maybe it was AT&T and AT&T phones only get OTA's when connected to the AT&T network but that's not the case here.

Are both devices running a the same stock rom. As they are identical you could just make a nandroid of the System and Boot partitions from the s-off device then restore these to the other device without loosing any user data. Could you maybe post a screen shot of the Settings>About>Software information screen from each of the devices?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happyhog11:
It's not that it cant "get" the ota updates its more that it wont install.

Also I'm in Aus, as for the first phone it was bought outright through a retailer and i have no idea for the second phone(eBay guy didn't leave any history about the phone.)

I have just put cmw on the new phone so now i can do the guide posted by Seanie280672.

Will post the screenshots in a sec.

Will need your help with making a backup of just the boot and system partitions......don't know how to do that.

Okay here is the screenshot for the new phone

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5yAH_RjUp-KcmRIUjZIOVN2TU0/view?usp=sharing

Also sorry Google drive was the quickest way to get pictures online from my laptop at the moment.

Only difference is the software number the old phone is x.x.x.7 not x.x.x.12 which im guessing is the update to fix audio.

Not sure if it is relevant but i have the file "OTA_M7_UL_K443_SENSE60_MR_Optus_AU_6.11.980.12-6.11.980.7_release_407474r14kwjhfpdkw8z4t" Thats the update file that the old phone downloaded to fix audio which would make it identical to the new phone, but alas it dose not install.

So i guess the "nandroid of the System and Boot partitions from the s-off device then restore these to the other device without loosing any user data" is still the best solution?

Thanks again i know i say that alot but could not have done this without your help!

Joel
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happyhog11:
Wait....i was of the belief that cmw was the reason i couldnt install ota's. Is that correct? If so what if i just put the original stock recovery back on the old phone(link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2158151) then let the update install and then put cmw back on..... i dont know if it will work but its another method, maybe i have this all back the front lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok this may get a little complicated but I'll try to make it as clear as possible ;)

You can use the system and Boot nandroid from the s-off device to update the Rom on the s-on device. Then make a full nandroid backup of the s-on device of System, boot and data. (so now you have a nandroid of the updated Rom with all your apps and settings) now backup the internal storage of the s-on device to your pc.

Now you can extract the firmware.zip from the OTA file and manually flash the firmware to the s-on device to update the firmware. This will require you to relock the bootloader and when you unlock the bootloader the device will be wiped (that's the reason we backup the internal storage to the pc) so you can Unlock the bootloader again restore the internal storage with your pc backup then Flash twrp and restore the nandroid and heypresto the s-on device is fully updated with Rom and Firmware. ;) If you need further instruction on how the flash the firmware from the OTA just let me know :)

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

Yes that's correct if you flash the stock recovery you should be able to install the ota. Although if the stock Rom is modified in some way the OTA may fail to install.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happyhog11:
Okay your method sounds like a fun experience, as long as your sure my data is safe :P. Will do a manual backup first anyway. As for the nandroid stuff tho...im allitle confused. with cmw there are not any options to what is included and excluded? or am i missing somehting......Sorry for the noob question.

And yes please i have no clue how to flash firmware, guess you just use fastboot? help would be great :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yeah my instruction kinda assumes you are using TWRP recovery [emoji14] no one uses CWM on HTC one anymore. TWRP if a far better recovery for best results use TWRP 2.6.3.3 other newer versions all have some bugs of some sort. 2.6.3.3 is bug free and stable :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happyhog11:
Edit: this is possible with cmw or do i need to swap to twrp? Also as for the firmware is that just the zip called "firmware.zip" inside the ota zip? what do you do with the images inside? Shame on htc for putting a zip in a zip its just plain bad practice lol
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Ok this is what I was afraid of when I said it might get complicated.

So first unfortunately I'm really not sure what CWM is and is not capable of these days I have not used it for about 4 years lol, since my galaxy ace days. Either way I would definitely recommend switching to twrp for your HTC one. Although you will need to make new nandroids if you do as TWRP is not compatible with CWM backups as far as I'm aware. TWRP allows you to backup and restore partitions separately.

You are correct about the firmware.zip inside the OTA file just extract the firmware.zip from the OTA and then you can flash the firmware.zip with fastboot. You must be sure you update the Rom before the firmware though or the phone won't boot after flashing the firmware. This is not an unrecoverable situation but will further complicate matters.

To manually update the firmware put the firmware.zip in your fastboot folder.

Boot the phone to the bootloader connected with fastboot usb. In the command window type.

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Your device will reboot to the bootloader and should now be ***RELOCKED***

fastboot oem rebootRUU

**--- Case sensative ---^^^

Your device should boot to a black screen with a Silver HTC logo. This is RUU mode. We can now flash the firmware. In the command window type

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The first flash will be short, and will appear to fail. Thats normal its just a pre update preparing the hboot for the firmware. The phone screen will go black then return to RUU mode. So now we need to do the same command again.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The second flash will take a little longer and will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal. As long as the command window has finished its output its done. Reboot to the bootloader.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Just for the record if the device was s-off like the other one there is never any need to relock the bootloader as s-off allows flashing while unlocked.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happyhog11:
Okay super quick question. I'm trying to flash twrp onto one of the phones but how do i use adb/fastboot with multiple devices plugged in? cant figure it out.....the other device is being backed up.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Fastboot should only see the device that's in the bootloader.

E.g if one device is booted to Android or Recovery (this will be the device your backing up) only adb should see this device.

So you can flash twrp to the other device while in the bootloader with fastboot

fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery "name-of-recovery".img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

So just so I'm sure we are on the same page I'm going to:

2. System/Boot/Data Nandroid from s-on device

3. Backup files from s-on device to pc

4. Follow your steps flash firmware updates.

5. Copy Files back to phone

6. flash twrp back onto device

7. Restore The nandroid from step 2

6. Copy Files back to s-on device

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happyhog11:
Sorry to further delay but....what does "You must be sure you update the Rom before the firmware though or the phone won't boot after flashing the firmware" mean? will i be safe to just follow your directions?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
It works like this

S-on Device has 6.11.980.7 system and Firmware

S-off Device has 6.11.980.12 system and Firmware

If you flash the 6.11.980.12 firmware to the s-on device while it has the 6.11.980.7 system then you will have the boot.img from .12 and the system from .7 with s-on this will cause the device to get stuck on the HTC boot screen and it won't boot to the rom. So you will not be able to copy your files backed up to your pc to the phone using the normal Windows method as you wont have access to the internal storage. When you unlock the bootloader to flash twrp the internal storage will get wiped and you will have to use adb to push the nandroid to the appropriate folder and restore the nandroid before the phone will boot.

Where as if you restore the .12 system from TWRP then boot to the bootloader to flash the firmware then unlock the bootloader the boot.img will match the system and the phone will boot to android without any problems so you can simply copy your files back to the phone using MTP in windows. Then you can boot to twrp to restore your data avoiding the complication of using adb push. Hope that makes sense ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
You should also note that if you use the new TWRP 2.8.4.0 MTP mode works in recovery and makes it much easier to copy files to the non booting phone :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Yeah I know but as 2.8.4.0 seems in my experience to cause the issue of the sd card appearing blank when booted to Android I thought best to avoid it for now. Easily fixed I know but I didn't want to cause any further confusion for the time being [emoji14] :good:
