It would be awesome, if you could find a twrp version that boots ;)

I've tried versions 2.7.0.1, 2.8.5.0 and 2.8.6.0 and every time I've waited forever on the htc splash screen with the purple 'Entering Recovery ...' without seeing anything happening.

Currently I'm using philz touch (booting fine) for clockworkmod backups and a simple tar -xf in the adb shell and fastboot flash boot for twrp backups :P
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It sounds like you are actually talking about the phone being stuck on the boot splash, not a "boot loop".

A boot loop means the phone is rebooting itself over and over on its own. When this is the case, holding the vol down will send you to bootloader on the next reboot "loop".

If its stuck on the bootsplash, its probably just a timing issue. Power+ vol up reboots the phone. The moment screen goes dark, but before the HTC boot slash appears, let go of those buttons, and only hold vol down, and don't let go until bootloader comes up. Failure to get into bootloader is virtually always a case of not pressing vol down soon enough, or letting go too early. After dozens of claims of this not working, I've seen every single one proven as being a case of not performing the button combo timing correctly. The only exception, is the (very rare) instance of the power button or vol rocker being physically broken.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uroc327:
As I've state in post #4 I don't exactly know what it's actually looping. I just know, that it shows this splash screen over and over again.

The screen goes dark automatically: It was like splash screen (few seconds.. normal time) -> black screen (a few minutes) -> return to splash screen

So the screen turned dark anyways (which indeed indicates a timing issue from my side as you said).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It is the same. Power + vol up + vol down is not a valid button combo.

Power + vol up (force reboot)

Power + vol down (boot recovery when powered off; vol down only needed when rebooting)

Did you fastboot erase cache before flashing a new TWRP version?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uroc327:
I've found a 2.23.112.x for cwm, too. But is it a good idea to flash 2.23 onto a 1.57 firmware and then downloading an OTA?

I think I somewhere read that those firmware updates are incremental.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
No ... that's not correct. Restore a one version lower backup on a higher firmware is ok but restore a one version higher than the firmware is a no.

Damn .. I don't keep the firmware too. If you can find the 2.23.112.3 firmware then it's good too.

You can restore the 2.23.112.3 then flash 2.23.112.3 firmware, reboot and do OTA
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uroc327:
I've looked the last two days but I didn't find firmwares for 112 by now.

Does flashing the firmware need s-off already? Do OTAs and RUUs (for this firmware) work with s-on?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
No need S-Off when flashing a signed firmware.

I will see whether I can find 2.23.112.3 firmware in a day or two

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uroc327:
Thank you :)

Do I still need a separate 2.23.112.3 firmware when I manage to download the correct 112 ota?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
When you put 112 OTA, that's hard to comment .. need full version no.

Which 112 OTA that you managed to download ? If it is 2.23.112.3-1.57.112.2 then that's a good one
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uroc327:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uroc327:
I unfortunately don't have the 1.57.112.2 stock ROM..

But I know that the 1.57.111.2 ROM runs on my phone too. So I'll try to trick the OTA downloader to download the ota for 1.57.112.2 instead of 1.57.111.2.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Xando:
Hi there,

Due to the battery life now being absolutely dreadful (and of course the purple camera issue), I intend to return my phone to stock so I can take it to Vodafone.

It currently has Android Revolution HD 91.1 on it. The bootloader says tampered, unlocked, S-On and my H-boot is 1.54.

I've researched what I will need to do and I'm fairly confident, but just wanted to check before I did in case anything goes wrong.

I know I need to get S-Off in order to get the unlocked text back to locked instead of relocked. Since I have h-boot 1.54, I plan to use the Rumrunner tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2488772

From there I plan to reset it back to the stock Vodafone firmware. I looked in the ROM collection: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428276 and there doesn't seem to be an appropriate RUU for my device. However there is a stock ROM with stock recovery; http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-161-1-zip/

So my plan is as follows: gain S-Off using rumrunner, flash that stock ROM and recovery through TWRP, this should remove the tampered flag (though if it doesn't I will use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477792) and leave me with only S-Off and unlocked. I will then relock using fastboot oem lock and then turn S-On using fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

I'm fairly certain that will be everything. Am I missing any steps or will this work as I intend?

EDIT: Here's the result of fastboot getvar all:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
No no no ;)

fastboot oem lock = relocked bootloader (not locked) = voids your warranty.

To set the bootloader back to locked (not relocked) and remove the tampered flag you need s-off (as you said) + this tool.

Or you need s-off + root or custom recovery adb shell + use these commands:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477792

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2475914

So in your case you should to this procedure:

achieve s-off

use twrp recovery and linked tool to remove tampered and lock the bootloader (not relock) OR you can do the commands manually from twrp recovery adb shell

set back s-on if you really wants to

flash a newer ruu to get rid of the custom recovery (only possible way after having relocked the bootloader).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Xando:
Actually, according to this: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ you can use fastboot oem lock when you have S-Off (if I'm interpreting it right...)

Regardless, what I did was achieve S-Off, flash the guru reset file I linked (ticking the option to install root), used adb to remove the tampered label and to set back to locked (using the commands in those howto threads), set back S-On, then used ES File Explorer to delete all the su, busybox and superuser files.

Now it is completely stock and I've been installing loads of OTA updates! However, superuser has returned... just the app, the phone is not rooted, and I don't seem to be able to remove it, only disable it in settings :/ I can't use root explorer in ES file manager to delete it. What do I do?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Sure you can't remove it, supersu is in /system partition and protected by the kernel. Still don't understand why you have rooted when all the commands can be done from twrp recovery instead of rooting. If your phone is now locked, no tampered and s-on then flash the latest ruu for your phone and you'll get rid of supersu.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Xando:
I'm pretty sure you've been skimming my posts dude.

I used ES File Explorer to delete supersu from the /system partition. The phone was completely unrooted, but superuser.apk came back with an update. Also, the stock reset I installed flashes the stock recovery, so I didn't have TWRP anymore.

And once again there was no RUU for my phone.

Regardless it's all done now and has been given to Vodafone to replace.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
supersu.apk did not came back because an update, it came back because it was stored in /system partition which is write protected by the stock kernel. Delete any files there and they will be restored after a reboot.

Hence why I suggested to use a ruu so you'll keep the bootloader locked and un-tampered while restoring all the /system partition to stock.

Yes there is one: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944

Hi, I have a xperia m2 from telcel but I bought it in a movistar store in Tulancingo so I can use a movistar sim card, but when I went to puebla (I'm from zacatlan, puebla en México) they didn't accept my guaranty because of the telcel bootanimation and I read that I can flash a movistar mx firmware.

So my questions are:

It's safe do it????

It erase all the telcel things and put the movistar things????

It changes the telcel boot animation and put the movistar bootanimation?????

It erase my data?????

Can I still use my movistar sim card after the flash????

If something goes wrong, I can restore it with pc companion?????

In the future, if I update with pc companion, it will keep the movistar firmware?????

I have been in poland for 10 days and had wanted to use my phone internationally but as soon as I left USA to Europe. I had no service. I was under the assumption that the BA was a Tri-band phone. Is there anyone that has had the same problem using Xplodes new rom and trying to use this phone in europe.? I have the SX66 version and My wife has the i-mate version of the BA. Both have the same problem. I also tried to download several phone band changing cabs somewhere on the forums and they just redered my phone useless and I had to hard reset. I also saw on the forums that someone had written that the change of the GSM frequency was automatic but it does not work as the local carrier would be "ERA-GSM" and i have "No Service". This has ticked me off my whole vacation. :mad: Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank You

Rich.

PS. :D I hope people can use this thread to perhaps put any patches or files that may allow our BA's to work in europe. That would be cool as this is my first thread.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SandStorm:
thats a very weird problem.

have you done a soft-reset, and then, enabled the phone in the connectivity manager?

i am in europe too, my BA come imported from USA and it is working nicely here.

Or the most probably stuff is:

You forgot to activate the roaming service with your operator, and since you have no roaming service active, you are unable to use your phone outside USA with your USA card, because no network allow it to be registered.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] jakubd:
Nice to hear from a foreigner, that you like Poland :)

About SIM card: you might still have simlock in your BA. I don't think band change is an issue. This must be something more basic. Have you tried to make list of available networks (without logging in) - there should be 3 of them all over Poland (BTW:where have you been in Poland?): Era GSM, Plus GSM and Orange (on older list of operators int might be Idea), and in very rare cases Play Mobile (for sure in case of this one you could see only number, no name, just 260-06).

2nd idea I have is that after switch to WM5 you forgot about soft reset after first boot and GSM module was not yet up.

my blue angel works in europe, both on 900 and 1800Mhz, and of course there was no problem with 1900Mhz...the issue, i think, which was said over, is that you didn't have roaming enabled...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Takiyon:
I think you are right jakubd. It may be a sim card issue. But the phone does not say it. Maybe things have changed such because I know I used to use Era GSM Sim cards but it was a new card i bought. If it is a simlock problem how can I use that card in my BA? I am sure I was able to use my mom's T-Mobile card I don't remember but I will check it out and get back. Also My family lives in Bielany, Warszawa. I have been to Zakopane I love it. Next time I go me and my family will go to the seaside.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Biohead:
Since when???? Get your facts straight.

The device is NOT quad band - but it should work in Europe no problems. It could just be a roaming problem like people say. Can you call your provider and ask or are they out of reach?

BTW: You can find out how to unlock the BA in the wiki for free.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cdaly1970:
Actually the device is quad band - 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900. You can check the spec page for the individual unit.

Here is the link for the PDA2k : http://www.clubimate.com/t-DETAILS_PDA2K.aspx

Here is the link for the SX66 : http://www.mobiledia.com/phones/siemens/sx66.html

Back when I had wm2003 on it, I had built cab that allowed me to change the band setting on the 1.13.00 radio rom.

As for not being able to use it abroad, I had the same issue when I went to aruba. Didn't call to get international roaming enabled and the unit refused to see any cell network. Now that I have it enabled, my SX66 works just about everywhere I go.

-restore my old backup and continue where I left
