[Sprint HTC One (M8)] IgnatzMaus:
Hello, I seem to have got myself into a fix and need to reach out to the M8 community for assistance. I purchased a lightly used HTC One M8 that appeared to be in near mint condition. The phone was unrooted, locked and S-On. Although, it did have the Harmen Kardon rom installed and it is not the HK model, which I found odd but nothing more. I verified that the phone could be added to the Sprint Network so all seemed good.

I immediately set about rooting it. I have owned a number of Galaxy phones and considered myself rather adept at rooting, loading new ROMs, updating firmware and troubleshooting in general. I would occasionally soft brick but I'd always fine a way out.

Rooting the HTC was just different enough that I skipped one critical step without realizing it an now I am stuck for the first time ever.

I used the HTC Dev site and the HTC All-In-One tool to unlock, root and install TWRP 2.8. Two things that I did not do, S-OFF and back-up my stock system image just in case. Now, while I have Viper 4.3.0 installed and running fine, and I can switch to at least one other ROM (Bare Bones 2.1), I seem to have no path to get back to a pure stock ROM if I need to do so. And that bothers me. =)

It seems from what I have read that using an RUU would be the easiest route however, that seems to be impossible from the S-ON position. I have tried Sunshine, but it refuses to work; giving errors something along the lines of it does not like my ROM load stock or something closer to stock. Which is why I tried Bare Bones. I looked at Firewater but it seems to have issues and is not really supported anymore. I have tried various command line scripts via miniADB but still nothing.

My understanding is that if I could get S-OFF, I could install the RUU and return to stock. I even tried flashing a stock nandroid BU but that did not work either.

I suppose I should not complain, it's not bricked and it has a cool ROM installed and I can activate it but I just hate that I made such a blunder and that I can't figure out how to fix it.

Any thoughts out there? Let me know if you need additional info. This is what my bootloader is showing.

Thanks in advance!

Relock bootloader then run ruu will restore back to stock or just flash a stock rooted rom prolly easier

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] IgnatzMaus:
From what I have read, relocking the bootloader with custom recovery, ROM or kernel will result in the phone not booting. Is that true? I am nervous about doing that and still not being able to successfully restore stock with an RUU. Though, again from what I have read, I should be able to re-unlock and put things back.

Every guide I am seeing says that getting back to stock is really only possible with S-Off and that there is no way to get to S-Off from Unlocked. So, I am feeling that I am out of luck.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
The phone will still boot. Also, S-off is not necessary to get your phone back to stock. The entire point of a RUU would be lost if it only worked when S-off.

Hello, I've got bricked Denver TAC 90012 tablet, and I have no idea, how to perform a hard reset on it. I powered it up with power+volume up button, but all it does is showing me an android icon with warning icon. I tried pushing every button, but nothing works at all. Can you help me somehow? Maybe I can perform hard reset via PC? Tablet is detected as "M901".

I see how you can enter it on the other variants but it appears like the Verizon one is locked. Issue I am having is I want to change the resolution my phone displays on my MHL adapter for my car stereo. From my research the only way to do that is to access the service menu. Any help would be great. Thank you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gallowsArisen:
Hey guys. Yesterday I flashed the newest CM12 update on my phone. I love it, except after I installed it, when I turn my brightness down, my screen gets a yellow tint. This was not a problem before, and when I flash back to CM11, its gone and looks fine. Anyone have this, and what should I do?

EDIT: LiveDisplay is disabled as well. I've scoured google and XDA looking for the answer but can't find anything. The screen looks great on full brightness, but once lowered by even 1%, a yellow/green tint sets in and gets worse as the brightness gets lower. There has to be a fix for this.

EDIT #2: CM fixed this issue. Thread can be closed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
You must have flashed the Chinese version of cm12.

Try flashing again.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gallowsArisen:
That's a thing? I flashed CM12 for the jfltetmo from cyanogenmod.org itself. And I've reflashed multiple times now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
You may want to post in the cm12 thread, maybe someone may have found a solution to this.

Don't forget this is not official yet because official lollipop firmware for T-mobile s4 USA hasn't been released yet, so your dealing with "experimental" stuff that can make your phone weird and funky (like yellow tint) .

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gallowsArisen:
Found a few articles on the CM forums of people having the exact same issue. Its from the 20150309 nightly and up. There should be a fix in the works. Thread can be closed, I guess?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
No,,,,,,, you must share your results with others that are monitoring this thread, because they too have pisssy yellow phones and are to embarrassed to chime in with there own post.

You must elaborate, that's what the " forum " is all about.

Remember "nightlies" stand for " Time to experiment with your phone "

The results of this experiment was yellow screen.

Pp. Cyclops
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gallowsArisen:
Well, I downloaded the new nightly. I'm flashing it now. Will share results soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gallowsArisen:
Sadly, the 20150314 nightly is still plagued by the tint. If anyone wants to avoid it, just stay on the 20150308 nightly. I'll report back when its been fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] awakener777:
Thanks for creating a thread. I hope it receives more attention. This is not limited to your tmo s4. I'm on jflteatt with the same issue. I goggled to find this, after trying different kernels and even wiping and flashing anew. No success. Problem is exactly as described. Full brightness is well, anything else is accompanied with the tint.

Temporarily, I've installed xposed and am using screen filter to have complete control over not only brightness but my tint as well. So long as system brightness is maxed out, all plays nice. Still an inconvenience. Please quote me or alert me if a solution arises.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] checho408:
That worked for me on (Jfltevzw) give it a try
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gallowsArisen:
Thanks, man. This works pretty well. I recommend this to everyone uotil they fix it in a future nightly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] extrem0:
That's awesome! Worked like a charm.

I was using GPE by dan but was having really bad battery life (couldn't even get a day without no usage at all (data turned off and screen barely used). I think this was because I was using an old bootloader/modem. Then I flashed stock NK2, but it wasn't detecting my sim card for unknown reasons. After that I flashed twrp and cm12. Sim is now working fine but was getting this horrible display. I was thinking my device got damaged somehow. Thanks for finding a fix
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gallowsArisen:
It looks like the 20150321 nightly fixed it. I turned my color serrins back to normal and there's no annoying yellow tint! Rejoice!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] awakener777:
This has been fixed in the 3/21 nightly.

Edit: as gallowsarisen above me stated. Sorry didn't know there was another page in thread.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harish Ambati:
Hello everyone,

My Friend has a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900, which he bought from NewYork. He got it rooted and region unlocked in order to use it in India. It is on Android 4.4.2. Now the problem is that ,its touch response is not good(very very bad).Sometimes touches work ,sometimes they dont. Tested touch with a Multitouch app and found that it doesnot recognize all the touches and (touch) ghosting also occurs. Is there something that i can do ? or should i get it repaired from a Samsung Service Center(No Warranty)? Should flashing a new ROM works ?

A general doubt for me is whether i could flash Russian /Indian Lollipop ROM on this device, which is region unlocked and rooted?

Thanks in Advance.

u can try to change sku_id to India stock sku_id. because my rom sku_id is for China telecom.

btw,ur radio is kk442 or the India m8sd lollipop test release?

Will try to see if it make differences. I use lollipop radio. My M8sd is from China and have 4g when I'm in China, could only get 3g when I'm away and use the local SIM. I think some other has m8sd India and can only get 3g in UK. Think m8sd device lock 4g when away from home country using other SIM.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

I also tried converting to m8sw using ruu, but have no signal. Signal is back when I flash m8sd radio only. So conversion doesn't work.
