If I am running a gpe rom and got there by ruuing, can I just run a sense ruu to get back to sense? I've found some guides on how to go back and forth but none state you can just ruu back.

I am bootloader unlocked and s-off... I would think I could just run a ruu.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You need to change back to AT&T CID (or SuperCID is also okay) and MID in order to run the AT&T RUU.

You might be able to just return to Sense by running the RUU. But some folks have had to flash the Sense firmware manually first, then flash the RUU.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] joho5:
I've changed Cid before bit never mid. I just figured that the ruu could correctly partition everything and convert the firmware.

I really have no big need for root besides being able to use WiFi tethering. I had rooted my phone before but went back to stock and got OTA Lollipop 5.01 but now foxfi is broken and really miss the capability. Not willing to pay Verizon for bandwidth I already paid for. I booted to recovery and it says I have s-off.

My question is: what is the simplest way to get the root. I really am not into spending time with daily builds etc. Just want my WiFi!

Put TWRP back on the phone again. Download the latest SuperSU to your phone, and flash it in TWRP.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empty_cups:
Flash what? I have twrp and SuperSU installed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You asked the simplest way to root. If you flashed SuperSU, you are rooted.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empty_cups:
OK, I'm confused. I have the SuperSU and twrp GUIs installed. Is this something I do in recovery?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Did you only install SuperSU app from the Play Store? If so, that in itself does not give you root. You may be able to root the phone by opening the app, and picking the option to install the SU binary. But to be honest, I've never done it that way, so I'm not sure.

The way I've always done it (if I'm not using a custom ROM, which are already rooted) is to download the SuperSU zip. Here is the latest stable version: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Than just boot into TWRP recovery, select the Install option, then browse to the SuperSU zip and flash it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empty_cups:
Got root, not tether

OK, I got it together to install TWRP via fastboot, and have SuperSu installed. CheckRoot says I have root. Unfortunately, I can't install the EnableDefaultTether.zip which worked with 4.4.x The zip I have seems to be dated May 15, 2014 although that might be when I downloaded it.

Is there an updated version of this for Lollipop on Verizon HTC One M8?

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rvaaness:
Hi Guys,

I have an HTC One M8,

M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-OFF

CID-11111111

HBOOT-3.16.0.0000

RADIO-1.15.2133156.UA13G

OpenDSP-v38.2.2-00542-M8974.0311

OS-1.54.401.5

eMMC-boot 2048MB

If I undersand, it is an At&t variant? Does it? But the system is 1.54.401.5 (Android Revolution?).

When I attempt to update, this is what I have "We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software...." (cf the attachement)

What I have to do for receiving the OTA update?

- installing the recovery stock at&T but it doesn't match with the system on my phone

- installing the ruu at&t but i must change my cid to the at&t cid and i can't because i am not using the at&t carrier.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
You need the stock AT&T ROM in order to OTA. But if you are not on AT&T's network, you probably won't receive the OTA anyway (this is AT&T specific, most other variants can be updated regardless of what network you are using).

CID has nothing to do with what carrier you use (its not like a SIM lock). It just allows/disallows installing of HTC software based on what version (CID) you have. It doesn't matter anyway, SuperCID will pass the CID check for the AT&T RUU. But did you change the MID also? As long as you have the right MID and SuperCID, you can run the AT&T RUU and just be updated to Lollipop (Lollipop RUU already available, no need to OTA).

Another option, you might consider changing the MID to a version that is better suited for your region (or an unlocked, or Developer's Edition) and install the stock ROM, firmware, and recovery for that version. Then you will be "fully converted" to another version and should get OTAs for that version.

AT&T stock software is a pile of crap, if you ask me. Not that good even on AT&T's network, and even worse if you are on another network.
[Sprint LG G3] ScrapMaker:
I know all the reviews said this phone got slightly warm due to the screen, but in my nearly year-long stint of owning this phone, I find that remark to have been grossly misrepresented. When charging, my phone gets extremely hot on the power button. After charging, it takes a good 5-10 minutes to cool off. While the phone is hot, (and I mean HOT,) the phone hiccups, stutters, and can become totally unresponsive. Applications act up, etc.

When I attempt wireless charging with my add-on receiver, things get infinitely worse. I cannot charge with the screen on and data connected.

In my car, I connect via BT to my car, my audio receiver, and my OB2 scanner. That doesn't seem to be a problem, other than BT being sometimes flaky. I have a wireless charger in my car, but I only used it once -- no point. Now, even with my 2.1a charger, I cannot keep my G3 topped-off while using GPS and streaming Spotify. The phone practically melts. Things are better when I'm blasting the A/C on it straight from a vent, (and worse if I try to use my heater in cold months.

Basically this thing is in a perpetual state of overheating. I have had three of these. My last unit overheated so badly that the screen became discolored. You might say that I expect too much from my phone, but my M7 had no issue, and my S5 did not overheat. I had to give up the Sammy for other reasons.

I have made various tweaks in the past in attempt to counter the sluggishness due to heat, but that's dangerous--and likely why my last phone actually failed. I decided to leave that alone and deal with the crippling slowness. Even something as simple as swiping a word on the Google Keyboard becomes impossible.

My question to you guys, is do you notice this burden on a daily basis? Perhaps the average person that doesn't need a charger all day can keep this beast cool? I am strongly considering the S6 because of the reports flooding in of how hot the Snap 810 runs compared to the Exy. What are your thoughts?
[Sprint LG G3] SilverZero:
I haven't seen this behavior at all. I've had little blips of hotness, but I almost think it's more environmental in some cases. Certainly not while charging, and I routinely leave it plugged in while I'm using it or watching Netflix or something. I'm sure you've thought about this, but are you sure it's not your charger? Does it overheat after a full factory reset (i.e. out of the box)? If not, what specific add-ons and/or ROMs do you use?
[Sprint LG G3] ScrapMaker:
Due to the nature of DC, the charger cannot be the culprit in terms of overheating. Not staying topped off? Sure, but not the heat. The phone regulates all of that.

You are telling me that you can stream Spotify (highest setting for me,) and Google navigation, and your phone doesn't get blisteringly hot? I've been charging on the cable (instead of wireless,) to get my phone up from 93%, with the screen completely off, and it's pretty warm on the power button right now.

I am running stock ROM, (though rooted.) I have used various G3s, various ROMs, completely stock, various chargers, you name it. No matter what, this phone gets furiously hot when the screen stays on. Even using it as a clock on my desk causes it to heat up like no one's business. Streaming a movie causes it to get pretty damn hot. It seems like the environment of the car being warmer, and GPS being used with data is the main culprit. Like the internal heatsinks/paths become overwhelmed.
[Sprint LG G3] tt c6:
A simple solution might just be buying an external charger and spare battery combination and never use the phone for charging.

I have always bought external battery chargers and hot swapped a fully charged battery and put my dead battery on the external wall charger when I go to sleep.

Hope this helps.

(I've been buying Anker chargers & batteries on Amazon with success)
[Sprint LG G3] ScrapMaker:
I think you're right. However I likely won't keep this phone much longer. S6 Active or G4 are calling my name...

Hi!

I bought a selfie stick about a week ago and I'm having a problem with it. I bought the one that has a jack because I don't have to charge the stick and because i don't waste battery of the phone, but the problem is that when I try to record video with the camera app or with Snapchat, the phone catches the audio from the jack, so the video doesn't have audio. Does the phone have any option to make it record the audio from the phone microphone?

Thanks is advanced ^^

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Pandora1331:
Hi everyone, I was wanting to know what all the different components of Google are on Gingerbread 2.3.4 (LG Enlighten vs700 phone). I ask because Google Play Store doesn't work. It keeps prompting me, "Sorry! The application google play store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. force close is the only option when i get this message, and it does reappear.

I have spent weeks on this - there are hundreds maybe even thousands of forums out there all devoted to this error. Seems like a huge volume of phones experience this error. There are a few fixes, but it only seems to work for a handful of people who have this problem.

What have I tried?

Factory reset (several times)

Reinstalling google play store, services, and market with the latest or a different version than what's on there now

youtube fix - I even reinstalled youtube

at this point, i did another factory reset last night just to start over with a clean slate - youtube works wonderfully. i have email on it. as a work around i use the amazon app store and 1 market store for apps, but it's a real bother with no google play and constantly getting the errors.

the strange part is i have a second identical phone (which is my experimental phone) - which does NOT get this error. I have no idea why one does, and the other doesn't.

the reason i was wondering about the components and versioning is as a last attempt to fix this (before i just live with it) - i was going to reinstall ALL the components google uses for the playstore to work, manually. i don't necessarily want to install the latest - i want to install the version specific to gingerbread 2.3.4. i have looked and looked online but i haven't been able to find any kind of component list (much to my surprise) the two components i have figured out are:

google play services 4.3.24 (android 2.3+)

google play 3.5.15 (android 2.3+)

So, I really don't know what to do, but I'm really worried, because I can't remove the battery cause D805 isn't removable battery.

Should I wait to my battery go to 0%? Or its not going to happen? Also, the power button isnt working too.

I have a sprint galaxy S4 spl-l720 build L720VPUFMDC I need someone to just point me to the correct link or post

to unlock this phone for US domestic sim. I want to change to T- Mobile. I understand it's GSM I did it on a galaxy S3

But can't figure this S4 out. Hope someone can help me Thanks BTW the phone is already rooted
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] cronos1388:
T-mobile is locking down the FM radio tuner in our Note 4.

It is built in to all models but the carriers choose to restrict the chip. It's very popular in other countries and they refuse to explain why they won't let consumers access the feature and pretend like it doesn't exist for our phones.

The Sprint version can use the Nextradio App to use the FM tuner because Sprint has a deal with the app makers for an ad revenue cut.

T-mobile pretends to be the UNcarrier and I switched to them from Verizon for that reason but it seems that they're just as bad as Verizon with painfully slow updates and locked down features.

There is already a campaign to contact the carriers and convince them to unlock the feature http://freeradioonmyphone.org/.

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? I would threaten to switch to Sprint but that's an empty threat because everyone knows their service is hot garbage.

Would be great if there was a softmod solution for root users but I don't think this is possible....

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Compusmurf:

I miss this feature that once graced my old HTC devices.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tkoreaper:
If you are truly unhappy with T-Mobile then switch. No one is stopping you. The whole thing about updates being slow is taken out of context because, for one, you act as if everyone has Lollipop already which is untrue. And two, I can count many other times where T-Mobile was in fact first to the punch and some times where they actually skipped an update because a newer one quickly came out. Going from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and skipping 4.4.3 for example. Do not completely discredit the carrier because of one minor misstep or because some feature we really don't know why isn't on our phones. There's plenty of online radio apps out there and iheart radio has many local stations.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

It was okay at first, but the fact that you needed headphones plugged in (i guess to act as an antenna?) ruined it for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nosympathy:
People in poor signal areas might not be able to use iheart. For example my coverage in my local park is bad, or was last year anyway, waiting for nice weather to go back, and if I enjoyed FM radio then having the ability to use my phone to do so would be nice without having to hope I have a data signal.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tkoreaper:
If loading your phone up with some MP3s somehow isn't good enough then for less than $10, and in some cases $5, you can get a portable FM radio that is smaller than your phone if you absolutely feel you need it.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
I'm not about to give kudos to a carrier for updating a phone. Especially not a phone that hasn't even been out a year. Add to the fact that Samsung does all the heavy lifting as far as developing their updates.

Knowing the reason is moot if the reason has nothing to do with lowering the quality of the product.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

I guess my question is why does someone need to justify to anyone why they would want this feature? Further more an MP3 isn't exactly a replacement for news and talk shows.

IF it's built into the phone its kind of shady to disable it.

Again, no one knows why exactly it is not on our phones and that Sprint is the only one. Furthermore it is NOT a feature that is on be default, it must be 'Activated'... Until recently no one even knew that the phone had it. Also, most news and talk shows are on AM radio.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nosympathy:
Yay the "there is no view but mine" part of XDA has come out...*clap clap clap*

I don't care one way or the other about the FM radio, I just think you demanding people do things your way as it must be the "right" way is arrogant.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tkoreaper:
I'm not demanding anything. I'm simply stating that there is an alternative... And the fact that this alternative is so cheap and simple begs the question why it's even an issue at all. If not activating an FM radio in your phone is enough to make you consider another carrier then why get that phone in the first place knowing that it wasn't there to begin with? You guys are basically complaining simply because you can and the fact that I can bother you so much by solving your issue with a simple answer proves how dumbfounded the issue really is.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pcriz:
My question still stands why should anyone have to justify their preference to want to use the FM feature on the phone if it has it? I see this right in line with disabling different NFC payment options, or how Apple wouldn't allow the Kindle app to purchase books just to make it more difficult and thus push users to their ecosystem.

I pay for my device. It will be paid in full in two months, its mine. Whether or not I will use a portion of it should be no concern of T-Mobile. I don't use the UV sensor, it's still there.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Tiffany84:
Saying T-Mobile is just as bad as Verizon with slow updates and locked down services is just crazy. When's the last time you bought a non Nexus device on Verizon that had an unlocked bootloader?

Fact: The Note 4 HAS an FM radio reciever. http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/phone_details.jsp?ensembleId=SPHG900BKS&flow=AAL&isDeeplinked=true&INTNAV=GalaxyS5LP:ShopNow:041114

Fact: T-mobile has chosen not to activate the software to communicate with the FM chipset.

Fact: International Models do not have it activated either. Meaning Samsung does NOT, by default, use the software.

Hope: The Lollipop update that is finally now in T-Mobile's hands might have it.

Hope: If Not, maybe it will be possible in AOSP roms i.e. CyanogenMod.
