[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosshalz:
wires??? what wires?? I;m talking about the mics inbuilt on the phone. my headphones have no mics. They're JUST HEADPHONES.

could someone please try out the steps i spoke about before replying?

EDIT 1: @Sadman Khan: I think I get what you're saying but i think you've misunderstood what I was saying in the first place.. er.. ok damn this explanation is tough let me try to put this pictorially

EDIT 2: OK pictorial representation of the problem is now attached
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
I'm not sure man. Maybe because your headphones still use the phone's mic which tends to be a bit far away from your mouth. So basically the mic can't pick up the sound as clearly as the time when you are speaking directly into the phone. I see no other reason for your problems.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosshalz:
nope.. I hold the phone right in front of my face.... ~1 cm away from my mouth....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosshalz:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
Hi, a little background first. My phone is s-Off, bootloader is unlocked and I have a been running rooted custom roms since day 1 that I had this phone. I always ran good except that 2 months ago it started rebooting for no reason. I change my rom from InsertCoin to LeeDroid thinking that my help but no change. Now, yesterday was phone rebooted in the middle of playing a YouTube video right into safe mode asking for a password to Decrypt storage which I never encrypted.

I found a few threads about it. Here's what I tried:

- wipe user data: tried that with fastboot erase userdata and also fastboot format userdata, both failed.

- I went into TWRP to wipe data, said it ran successfully but it didn't since all my pictures and other personal files.

- I tried restoring a known working backup I had and it failed too

- fastboot oem lock fails

- fastboot rebootruu reboots in a blackscreen (no HTC logo in the background) then completely reboots back in safemode.

Any idea what I should try next?

Thanks a lot
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
anyone? I really desperate right now :crying:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This is working correctly. You need to go into the advanced wipe options, and select Internal Storage to wipe that partition.

Try the "Format Data" option, and see if that helps.

I don't ever recommend doing this on an s-off device (for troubleshooting purposes). It doesn't enable anything that isn't already enabled under s-off (running RUUs is the most common reason); but can leave you stuck unable to do a heck of a lot of things (installing custom recovery, ROMs, etc.).

Does your version have an RUU that you can try?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
thanks a lot for the reply. I tried the format option. Typed yes in the field. It said Updating Partitions details.... done. But when I go in the file manager I can see I didn't lose anything. Also if I mount my sdcard (data/media) and delete all the files from my PCs. all the files are being deleted. I rebooted the phone and they are all back.

Yes I have a RUU. I ran both using the exe which failed saying it could be an issue with the usb cable or something. Tried with the zip file renamed to img file (can't remember the exam name), hboot detected it then asked me if I wanted to update, I select yes by using volume 1, then I saw Update, 1 or 2 second later the phone rebooted in a black screen (not RUU), then rebooted in safe mode again asking to Decrypt Storage.

I tried the info found here http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ca/2014/09/how-to-fix-random-reboots-on-htc-one-m8.html but it didn't fix my data partition. Here's the output.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toysoldierq:
i would run a full ruu of the dev edition exe in fastboot usb mode and see if that fix the problem
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
Thanks. I already tried running the DEV RUU zip file by renaming it to that PXXXIMG.zip without a success. Since fastbootruu doesn't work I can tried it. Regarding the dev edition exe, I can't find it anywhere, only found the zip one. Do you know where I could find it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Right here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/

But you need to change to the appropriate CID and MID. Plus, if your version's RUU exe didn't work, I don't see how this will be any different.

To be clear, you usually run the RUU in bootloader-fastboot mode, not RUU mode (it will boot to that itself once you run the RUU).

But if you have a fundamental USB connectivity issue, it really doesn't matter, and it still won't run. Try different cables, different USB ports, even another PC.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
This is not a USB issue. The problem itself seems to be an ext4 corruption issue. When trying to restore my backups, it fails when trying to restore /data/media. I can't delete/format it either. I'll try the RUU exe but doubt it will work. Thanks for the help
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You said in Post #4:

I'm not saying the USB connectivity is causing the main Safe Mode/Decrypt Storage issue. But it does seem to be keeping the RUU from running, based on your previous post.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've seen this similar issue posted before (encrypted storage asking for password, when encryption wasn't selected by the user). From what I remember, the format storage option in TWRP (that you already tried) was the solution. But you might just search for those threads, to see if my recollection on the fix is incorrect; or if other fixes were found.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
Indeed, I looked at a few posts with that format storage issue and there was basically 2 solutions: 1) format data in TWRP. 2) Repair ext4 filesystem which didn't work either.

PS: Just saw that the link you gave me is for the Sense version, not the Google Edition. That's what I already tried and failed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You asked for Developer's Edition. Dev Edition and Google Play Edition (GPE) are 2 completely different things. Dev Edition is always Sense.

I've never seen an RUU.exe for GPE.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
Oops my bad then. Sorry, probably my bad cold/sinusitis. I'm having a hard time concentrating.

Ok, so I tried that exe already and it didn't work. Any other ideas?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toysoldierq:
do you have teamviewer if so get it and let me help you, message private with the login and password.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Heh, no worries. The last couple weeks have been rough for me (as far as illnesses), as well. And Dev Ed vs. GPE is a fairly common mistake.

Hopefully toysoldierq can help you out. You've tried everything I can think of.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toysoldierq:
I think he did not do the whole process going back to sense using this 1.54.401.5-W_Splash
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
Sorry I'm back now. So what do you think I didn't try? Using the sense exe ruu? I tried it but it failed.

BTW regarding team viewer I'm not sure if that will really help since you won't be able to see my phone. I know how to use adb, fastboot, etc so if you have an idea of what I should try I would sure try it. Thanks a lot
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toysoldierq:
i have fix m8 phones over teamviewer already son im way ahead of you, if you want me fix the issue let me know or i can tell u what u need to do choice is yours.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
so... toysoldierq connected to my pc yesterday with teamviewer and also realized that my phone really is acting weird. Whatever we do, it doesn't stick. For instance, write a new CID, rebooting the phone, it will be back at the old CID. Same for flashing a new recovery.

I tried formating the data in Linux, same issue.

So I ended up deciding to ship it for repair at HTC. I'm sure they'll notifice the bootloader is unlocked, the device is S-OFF, that it has been converted to a DEV edition but I have nothing to loose. They might don't care and fix it or fix it but charge me. As long as I get it back and that it doesn't cost me more than $200 I'll be happy. I'm now waiting for their shipping instructions.

Thanks everyone for your help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoned99:
As expected the repair shop saw that it was unlocked and tempered so it voided the warranty. They were changing the main board today. It will cost me CAD $220 so around $165 USD.

ADB works fine for all my devices except my ZTE T815. It only works after I use it in Ubuntu, and then reboot (dual boot) into Windows XP. When in XP it only works when minimal ADB and fastboot are open. Rooting apps work fine (as in connect, but root always fails), as long as minimal ADB and fastboot is open. MTKdroidtools won't recognise the device, and whenever minimal ADB is open, it crashes.

Can you please tell me where I could find a good extortionist, or a curse remover for my computer and/or ZTE? Or, give me some DIY instructions?

It's the only way to fix this I think............

Jokes apart

I think the Windows applications you are using are poorly developed. There can only be one instance of adb run on port 5037. Most applications use their own version of adb instead of the one defined in the path. Since only one adb can be run , your applications crash due to unexpected error ...

You can manually use

adb kill-server

before using any adb application to prevent conflicts.

So if I make a Margarita pizza in the oven, and overcook it, then being it to the computer, and yell at my computer to stop hating on ZTE in the name of [insert deity to be feared] while holding the pizza I should be good? And then I will be able to feast in celebration with a slightly burnt pizza. Or, do I have to Cook the pizza next to the computer with a heat gun for the right results?

Choosing the god is the important part.... These rituals makes the exorcism powerful.....

Warding off cyber demons has to be done with cyber materials ...Since apples work cool with normal demons ,iPhones should work for cyber demons...Borrow an iphone and start waving in front of your PC chanting your gods name....

If everything succeeds ,grow a beard and preach open source as a penance for touching an iPhone

The guide recommended burned herbs, so I thought burning the pizza was needed.

Thanks for the helpful hints.

Aha. Do I need to burn the iPhone, or does that just get too messy?

And jailbreaking as a way rebellion. Kinda like bible burning ceremonies, we could have jailbreaking rallies.

Maybe not the best choice of words seeing as it was about 9;30pm here when you posted that.

We have tonnes of kangaroos at the moment. Don't believe what people might have you believe, thy really are a pest, destroying fences and eating the grass for our cows. They are still cool though, even if I hate them also. Also, wombats are really dangerous. Dingos are cross-bred with domestic (feral) dogs, and platypuses are rare. Emus are interesting. Echidnas are fine, and koalas (also known as drop bears) are dangerous, they land on you at night. All snakes and spiders will kill you, Australia has like 9/10 of the worlds most dangerous snakes and spiders. But that's not an issue, the things that are really annoying are the mozzies (mosquitoes) and blowies (blowflies). Which go away from smoke, so a fire is great in any weather.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BentMetal:
Hey everyone, I recently bought a Tab S 8.4 and want to install a custom ROM. I also own a Nexus 5 and frequently try out new roms, so I'm comfortable with flashing on the N5.

I have successfully rooted the Tab S and I have downloaded CM12 and GApps zips.

I have installed the twrp app but have not yet actually replaced the stock recovery.

Before I do this, I need to know if I will be able to (easily) install the factory firmware and image if I decide I want to go back.

On the N5 its a very simple and fast process.

Anyone else done this?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BentMetal:
I guess I should clarify what I am looking for.

Is the process the same on the Tab S as on the N5 when you use twrp?

Is there anything different that I should be aware of before I begin?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Seeing as you are rooted my advice is to make a backup of the stock recovery with flashify then either flash TWRP recovery with it or flash it via Odin.
