My latest TZ kernel download doesn't include a boot.img file to flash via fastboot. Seems like an ordinary flashable .zip to my eyes. How does that affect the installation preceedure?

Thanks in advance.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] heartspains88:
I recently installed CM12, and seems to be running great. No major issues, however I do use voice to text pretty often.

I have all relevant and necessary apps installed, talk back, google talk, etc. When I go into keyboard to enable to "mic" button, it is greyed out and says I need to enable it in the options, however as far as I can tell it's all enabled.

Google now utilizes the mic functionality just fine.

Again, everything seems okay, just can't seem to get voice-to-text and more importantly the mic button on the keyboard to work. Or rather it won't let me enable the button. Is this simply a known issue? I can't seem to find much on this topic. :confused:

I was on GPE and I tried to switch to viperone Rom. Long story short, after flashing the firmware I got on a bootloop and I cant even access that white background page where you can fastboot & Hboot....I can only hold the volume up and power button get to this "Android system recovery" which gives me a few options:

Reboot System Now

Apply from SD card

Apply from Phone storage

Apply from Cache

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

I cant seem to adb or fastboot from my computer while doing this. Help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
well your story is pretty incomplete ... how did you end up with stock recovery ? What firmware did you flash ?

Flashing viper rom won't return you to stock recovery

To get to the normal bootloader from the above screen choose reboot System now and hold Volume Down as soon as the screen goes off

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
well with the stock recovery your back to step one

is your bootloader still unlocked ? If yes flash custom recovery (TWRP) and Flash a Rom that matches the firmware your on

If your bootloader is relocked may as well update to the latest firmware the unlock and flash TWRP / Rom

Theirs also this RUU you can use

It failed, how do I change my MID to EU?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Do you really want to convert everything to EU version instead of original Canada version ?

How to change MID to EU in your case :

1. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8

command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img

2. Boot to recovery

3. Run these command

adb shell

then copy & paste this command

echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x31\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384

then

fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. flash that RUU zip after put your device in RUU mode

fastboot oem rebootRUU

htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

Wait ... you have a Mac, need to find correct fastboot file for your Mac version
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifaman:
I would prefer the canadian one but I was only asking on your recommendation =/
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
It is easier for Canada version, you just need to flash the TWRP either 2.8.1.0 or 2.8.3.0 then transfer the nandroid backup and restore then do OTA to the latest.

The only thing is do you remember which Canada version is yours ? ROGERS, BELL, TELUS or GLOBAL or SASKT ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifaman:
Yes its Bell! I did GPE conversion right after buying it (not sure if this matters).

Okay so I flashed TWRP and it worked. Now you're saying transfer the nandroid back and restore then do OTA ...I dont know what both of these are .

Also btw you have been so awesome and patient. I really appreciate the time you're putting in to help. I hope I can help you back in some way!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
BELL ... that's great

1. Install TWRP 2.8.3.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8

command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-m8.img

2. Download TWRP backup 1.55.666.4 - https://mega.co.nz/#!TtJi0SbC!RqHg6D8QtO-LX7Xy9OEjvWw-HmD23I04BZNyGMctxhk

3. Download stock 1.55.666.4 recovery - http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/1.55.666.4_recovery.img/download

4. Extract the downloaded 1.55.666.4_ckpv5.zip on PC

5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.

6. Reboot, connect device to PC then open Internal Storage, TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./

7. Transfer the extracted 1.55.666.4 folder (not 1.55.666.4_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device

TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./1.55.666.4

8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)

9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore

10. In reboot menu select bootloader

11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery 1.55.666.4_recovery.img

12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install

13. repeat step 12 until the last OTA 4.20.666.1

14. done

If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 after last OTA 4.20.666.1

then you can install any of the Sense based custom ROM that you like
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifaman:
BTW, now that I have twrp. I dont mind installing to a rom like Viperone or Skydragon if thats easier for you. Just give me the instructions boss
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You can't install those ROM yet because you need to do OTA to the latest lollipop for your device version then later only you can do that.

I updated the previous post with all the instructions for proper updating

But ... since your device is S-Off, you also can flash straight away the lollipop firmware instead of doing that step by step

(assuming you are newbie I give those instructions so easier for you to follow)

If you're an adventurous type, you can do these :

1. Download this lollipop firmware for device version : http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/4.20.666.1_firmware.zip/download

2. put your device in bootloader mode

3. run these commands

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip 4.20.666.1_firmware.zip

fastboot flash zip 4.20.666.1_firmware.zip .....( again for the 2nd time)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

4. flash latest TWRP 2.8.5.0

5. Install any of those ROM that you want

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SiberianLeopard:
This thread is for all those who want to see what the motherboard of your beloved phone looks like. I had a destroyed myTouch (one of the 5 I've bought, but the 4th doesn't count because it was a Huawei, I got a refund for that) and I've labelled all the important parts. I'm uploading these because of the MSM8260 Snapdragon, also known as Scorpion. The original clock was actually intended for 1.7 GHz but it got too hot so Qualcomm dropped the maximum stock clock to 1242 MHz. Interestingly enough the entire thing is not SoC. The Adreno 220 is separate from the CPU, and the system memory is actually manufactured by Samsung. That is also the case for the Huawei model as well. In the last image the tiny golden box in the way bottom left-hand corner is the microphone. This one is dented. The gold pins sticking up are the antenna connectors, which also houses the speaker on the bottom of the phone. One of them snapped off when I replaced the screen, and that made my network connection not work. The gold metal - is real gold.

Please don't take apart your myTouch to see it yourself. If you want I will add more pictures.

Qualcomm Snapdragon

Qualcomm 4G/3G/EDGE Radio

main System

Original images are attached, along with a bonus image I found here. Overall the processor is one of the best of its time, being dual core and having a maximum hardware fuse limited clock of 1.728 GHz.

Backing up your ONN V9 ONLY

First to make a backup of your ONN V9 ONLY you can use this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38337401#post38337401

Some thing to note, if you can't seem to get the SP Flash Tool to detect your phone it maybe that you don't have the right preloader drivers. To install them you can use this tutorial: http://www.china-devices.com/Thread-Tutorial-How-to-Take-Your-MT6582-phone-into-META-mode

Rooting your ONN V9 ONLY

If you're done with the first step of backing up your V9 ONLY you can also add root. To root it you can use the MTK Droid Tools and click the root button.

For me it didn't work at first. I used an other method: I flashed the superuser.zip using the CWM recovery. After that I used MTK Droid Tools to update the SuperSU and it worked

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] EastExpert:
When I bricked my XDA Exec by means of hung program during the upgrade, I had: no reaction to normal Reset, no entry to Bootloader - basically a brick.

I did LeftSoftKey + RightSoftKey + Reset to do a *hard* reset (everything was lost anyway), and after that I could see "Serial... v1.01" Bootloader notification. When you connected that to a computer, it changed to "USB... v1.01" prompt.

So I just took JWright's image, and re-flashed it.

Guess what? It detected I had no image/extRom/RadioRom whatsoever then offered to re-flash them. I knew I'm OK when Radio upgrade progress indicator started to move.

It took me to get to another machine first, however. My Vista machine totally screwed up things, whereas my home XP managed to do the job.

Sitting on JWright's 2.02.02 now - very thoroughly made ROM, love Voice Command integrated with it instead of crappy Cyberon's software.
