[HTC One Max] EvilGregBrady:
Hello all,

I followed the instructions here for rooting and s-off.

I installed the recovery and kernel.

When i got to rum runner it would not s-off. It kept saying download correct version. I tried different computers and suggestions on different threads with no luck to s-off.

At this point the phone would not get past the boot screen with the stock ROM. I installed viper rom and it would load but kept saying everything HTC stop unexpectedly over and over so the phone is not usable. I tried another rom that would load but says Sense stopped then reboots after 90 seconds or so.

Any ideas to finish s-off and root or just restore to stock??

I have experience with rooting many other phones and never had a problem.

Thanks for any help.
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Rum runner only works on older firmware. You'll need to pay 25 bucks and use sunshine to s-off

can anyone help me out.... the battery in my wizard is dead ....

while doing the upgrade smart1_wm6_pp8mbs ... on my imate kjam IPL - 3.08 SPL - 3.08 GSM - 02.69.11 it gave me an error at the installation and my phone just went off..

when i tried to reset my phone its showed me a new OS 10.1.0.811 (which i think in not fully installed) and does not proceed further...... next i tried to reinstall xplore 1.1 back into my phone, at the time of installation the battery of the phone went dead ...... (cant reset or do anything now)

1. do you think my mobile is bricked

2. is there any way to charge my battery (at the three colour display)

3. is there a software where i can clear up and put in a new SPL/IPL/GSM/OS

Thanks Guys
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gniemcew:
No.

Wait for a bit for the battery to settle down, and try turning the device on. If it turns on and you get stuck on ROM version splash, switch it to boot mode (soft-reset while holding Camera). Once in boot mode, power button will work to turn the device off. Hook the device up to a wall charger (not USB cable) and it will charge up, effectively un-bricking. Allow it to charge up to 100% before any flash attempt.

The point here is that a device does not charge up while in ROM version splash or in boot mode, but only in boot mode does the power button work to turn it off (at least in my device).

Download the latest, full ROM from your device manufacturer, and re-flash it while in boot mode (might not work under Vista or Server 2003, use Windows XP/ActiveSync 4.5 to flash).

Hard-reset the device, and once asked, press Send key to reformat FAT partition. You might get the dreaded "Format is failed" error message. The only way out of this is backing up and restoring from a miniSD card, which includes an additional BINFS formatting step, not present when flashing from boot. For a complete procedure, see:

Best of luck.

hi Gary

Thanks for your promt answer but before i proceed with what you said to do...

1. Hook the device up to a wall charger (i dont have that) any other way ?

2.what are the keys for hard reset / and what is press Send key to reformat FAT partition ?

3.i am using xp pro with active sync 4.5 on the same
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] steve-11:
Gray did you meant the wall charger (the usb charger) .......

i have done the same ....... but i have to ROM version splash (RGB) constanly on without the orange light showing (usally show when charging)... is this ok for a full charge
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mebobola:
You probably don't need to charge the battery. If it is at the rainbow screen (RGB) and you get the word USB in the bottom left corner when you connect it to the computer, you are good to go to reflash your manufacturer ROM. Once you get a good flash of your manufacturer, you will be able to recharge your battery and will probably notice that you are still about 80%. I tried to flash 6 times and was still at 83%. Stay cool and put an official ROM back on and you will be back in business.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gniemcew:
No, PC-USB cable charging did not work for my Cingular 8125. I had it power-bricked as well, and powering it off with the power button and hooking it up to a wall charger was able to charge it back up. The only other way is to take your battery to a friend, a Radio Shack or a Circuit City, and ask the guys to charge it for you.

Hold left-side upper Comms button + right-side upper Voice button and press-in the right-side middle soft-reset spot with a stylus. Keep holding the keys and after a reset your device will ask you to press in the Send key (the key used to answer an incoming call) to FAT format. Hold Send and release Comms + Voice and off you are.

For more information, Read The Fine Manual, it's described in detail all over the place.

Yes, a wall charger USB cable, not a PC-USB cable. PC-USB cable did not work for me for some reason.

No, as mentioned above, your device might not charge while in ROM version splash, or in boot-mode. ROM version splash and boot-mode RGB are two different things. If you are in ROM version splash (IPL/SPL/ROM/OS versions displayed with cellular operator logo), hold down Camera key and and press-in the right-side soft-reset spot with a stylus to switch it to the red-green-blue boot-mode. Once in red-green-blue boot-mode, press the power button to power off the device (it does not power off in splash, but powers off in boot). If it is powered off, and hooked up to a wall charger, the orange light will come on, indicating charging. Once it turns back to green, you are all set to re-flash.

You probably do want to fully re-charge your device before re-flashing, because if it dies in the middle of a flash, or in the middle of a miniSD card restore, you're back to square one.

Hi Gary

i have got my battery charged and tried installing a new rom ..... but at the second splash screen its stuck...... i think i have a OS problem ..... it shows me OS 10.1.0.81 (this happened when i was installing smart1_wm6_pp8mb)

i also tried to do what you said - (Hold left-side upper Comms button + right-side upper Voice button and press-in the right-side middle soft-reset spot with a stylus. Keep holding the keys and after a reset your device will ask you to press in the Send key (the key used to answer an incoming call) to FAT format. Hold Send and release Comms + Voice and off you are.)

it cames back to the second splash screen ....... is there any hard format i can do
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
No siree Bob. That's not what's gonna help you.

You need to get into the bootloader screen (tri-color screen). To do this, you need to press and hold the camera button and just tap and release the reset button (while still holding in the camera button). Now you're at the tri-color screen (you can release the camera button now).

Now, connect the USB cable to your computer that has Activesync installed. Now, just download and install your original carrier ROM to the phone as you would normally do. That's it!

Magically you will have a working phone again. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] jwzg:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Sean Giles UK:
I had the same problem of the battery not charging from the 3 colour boot screen. Your phone is definately recoverable but first you need to get a fully charged battery. the only way i could find to do this was to buy a new battery from ebay that came with a free desktop charger. It was about £10 i think. A small price to pay for recovering your wizard mate.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] envmyz:
+1, this rom saved me :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] gniemcew:
Ok, excellent.

Not necessarily. My understanding is that for a flashed OS to boot, it needs a FAT partition, just like a desktop OS. A FAT partition lives inside a BINFS storage system. If a device gets stuck in the ROM version splash screen (operator logo and multiple version numbers) your OS installation might be fine, but it cannot access its expected file system, and - just like a desktop OS - just hangs. To see if that is the case, do the hard-reset + Send procedure I describe again below. If this *is* a BINFS problem, you will get the "Format is failed" error message.

Is that what's happening with your device?

If so, re-flashing a ROM does NOT fix that problem, since flashing a ROM does nothing to re-initialize BINFS, allowing later FAT partition format. Yes, I agree it is pretty dumb of HTC not to include such an important step in a complete flash or a hard-reset, but that's just how things are. BINFS initialization, however, *is* a part of a miniSD card backup and restore process. Buy a cheap, $10 miniSD card (I used 256MB), and follow the procedure in the link I posted earlier.

You are probably letting go of Comms + Voice keys too early, effectively getting into a soft-reset instead of hard-reset. Keep holding those two keys, "do not let go" (to use the "Titanic" line ;)), and press in the reset spot with a stylus. Keep holding the keys. Screen will turn black and sit there for a while. Keep holding the keys. The device will turn back on, and a message should come up asking you whether you want to go back to factory settings. Keep holding Commns + Voice, hold down Send (green phone icon), and THEN let go of Comms + Voice. A FAT format should commence.

Well, can't help there, since I have a Cingular 8125.

Gary
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mebobola:
Any official rom will work (Cingular, T-Mobile, whatever). I have a K-JAM and the Cingular ROM got me loaded back up from the rainbow screen and I was able to load XPLORE afterwards.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brute-coder:
Rooted your device, but it may have side effects !​

Does your phone really shutsdown !​

Next time you turn off your Android phone, you might want take the battery out just to be certain.

Security vendor AVG has spotted a malicious program that fakes the sequence a user sees when they shut off their phone, giving it freedom to move around on the device and steal data.

When someone presses the power button on a device, a fake dialog box is shown. The malware then mimics the shutdown animation and appears to be off, AVG’s mobile malware research team said in a blog​

The malware requires an Android device to be “rooted,” or modified to allow deep access to its software. That may eliminate a lot of Android owners who don’t modify their phones.

But some vendors of Android phones ship their devices with that level of access, potentially making it easier for the malware to get onto a device.​

SO be careful about the rooting !​

So I have 2 HTC One M8's, one is compatible for Sunshine, but not the other. Is it possible to S-off one device, back it up & Restore the image to the other device to achieve S-Off? if it is possible, how may i go about doing so?

Gracias everyone ! :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
No. The part that "stores" s-off cannot be backed up. It is simply a single value deep in the phone that stores 1 or 0. Closest thing that *could* work would be to disassemble both phones and swap out circuit boards but that idea is ludicrous and probably wouldn't work for any number of reasons. You should just wait for sunshine 3.0 (but don't go asking for ETAs).

I used Slimkat for a couple of months now. It has only one bug (dialpad not visible until I toggle the transparency checkbox in the phone-app settings), but runs quite nice.

Waiting for a stable SlimLP since Slimkat gets boring after some time.

That bug is actually not slimKAT, but the phone application. If the animations are completely disabled via developer options then this occurs. Change the animations to at least 0.5x and restart. The dialpad will then be visible.

Hello everybody. New to the site, but learning a lot.

I purchased a Chinese an unlocked android phone from Taiwan, LKD L8, and I thought I was supposed to be able to swap SIM cards pretty easily. When I got it to the US, I was originally on T-mobile. Recently I tried switching carriers and when I put in a new SIM card I now have to enter a privacy password. I called both T-mobile and Ting and they both said it's a phone issue. Unfortunately I cannot find any tech support from the company. I tried resetting the device, but that does not remove the privacy password. I searched and I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. A suggested fix is that I flash the ROM. I can't find LKD L8 on this site, so I was wondering if I could flash a different ROM? From the little I know, I have to make sure the chipset is the same correct?

The specs on the L8 are very similar to the Samsung S5 I think.

L8 Specs:

WCDMA 850/1900/2100MHZ

Chipset MTK6592-1.7Ghz-Octa-Core

OS android 4.4.2

Sim Dual-SIM Dual-Standby

Gravity Sensor yes

Distance Sensor yes

GPS yes

FM yes

USB 5 pin mini

What do you all think? Could I flash it with the Samsung ROM?

Thanks for your help. I tried other forums, but this site seems to be the best.

THIS WAS BUILT FOR MOTO X XT1095 MODEL! I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT WILL WORK ON ANY OTHER CARRIER VARIANT! IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TEST THAT'D BE GREAT, REPLY WITH FINDINGS

COMFIRMED WORKING ON ALL CARRIER VARIATIONS OF THE MOTO X 2014

This build of Paranoid Android is an unofficial build of AOSPA 5.0 ALPHA-1

All credit goes to the wonderful AOSPA team and everyone who has volunteered their time and effort into AOSPA

BUGS/ISSUES

Possible signal dropping on AT&T (factory resetting and reflashing has seem to help)

Please let me know of any bugs

Everything seems to be working flawlessly including Ambient Display, GPS, camera, all sensors, audio...

Notes:

The reason I have not updated to alpha-2 is the same reason as every compiler hasn't. There is a problem in the source code and there is nothing I or anyone can do about it now until it is fixed by the big guys, thanks for understanding.

I noticed with this and other roms such as CM the keyboard vibration duration is off at default

I found that 15ms is a comfortable duration.

Any comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome.

INSTRUCTIONS/DOWNLOAD(S)

Instructions:

FACTORY RESET (If coming from another rom or stock)

INSTALL ROM

INSTALL GAPPS (Even when updating the ROM, sorry that's just how lollipop works)

REBOOT (Don't worry about the old boot animation, it will be replaced soon)

IF DOESN'T BOOT WITHIN 5 MIN FACTORY RESET AGAIN

ROM:

Lastly, you mention all sensors working, it seems only the to right one does out of the 4 motion sensors, I believe that's same as CM

Thank you.

Yes theme manager is taken directly from CM. I was talking about the device tree, it has nothing from CM in it. When I said sensors I mean all the sensonrs like proximity, gyro, temp, light, etc. Nobody has gotten the IR sensors to work outside of stock yet.
