First s-off,root then follow this thread
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MeltdownSpectre:
Will this work on a Sprint M8 running the newest Marshmallow stock ROM (6.20.651.3)?

I'm S-OFF and rooted, what do I need to do to flash an international ROM?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mbwambo:
Yaaaap am using here
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MeltdownSpectre:
I'm downloading ViperOne 5.0.0 and I have downloaded ElementalX 6.03 kernel.

I have to flash the ROM first, then kernel and then reboot?

Making a backup on TWRP just in case.

Also, please check your PM inbox. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mbwambo:
Yes but make sure the kernel support your variant like the one i posted the link
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MeltdownSpectre:
I downloaded the same one that you linked. ElementalX 6.03

I have Sprint M8.

ROM has booted and optimizing apps now!

Thank you so much :D
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] navneethnvk1:
I did flash an international s Rom with lonely x kernel. Then I tried another Verizon Rom with lonelyx kernel. And got stuck at boot image. I tried to flash s Rom again with lonelyx kernel. But it couldn't flash. After few hours I got android revolution hd rom and flashed with elite lolipop kernel. Then it worked fine. Even now it takes around 3 mins to boot up every time. I'm afraid to flash another Rom now. Plz explain this and solve for boot time.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] navneethnvk1:
Does anyone have kitkat kernel for ARHD22.2 with Verizon support?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jesusprice:
Has anyone applied this to any Android Marshmallow Roms?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mbwambo:
Yes....am here....and it works perfectly

mbwambo??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jesusprice:
What ROM are you using?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mbwambo:
Current am using Jw-rom..... But I tested on other marshmallow roms like viper, ARHD, and maximum HD.....all were working great.... Only difference is it will look like GSM phone not CDMA

mbwambo??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] j.weber:
Which kernel are you using?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mbwambo:
Now its hypernova 2.0.3.......

mbwambo??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] barashe:
Are you on Marshmallow firmware?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mbwambo:
Yes.

Mbwambo??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] barashe:
Thanks!

So, please forgive my noobness:

If a custom kernel is a lollipop kernel, it means that all firmware higher than (or equal) to lollipop can run it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] barashe:
Never mind my question. I just now realized that hypernova is Marshmallow based.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mbwambo:
Cool..mate

Mbwambo??
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] barashe:
So, does anyone know of a kernel I can use which is compatible with Marshmallow Sense firmware?

I tried downloading Hypernova 2.0.3 but the link is broken...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mbwambo:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687564 try this also working in all variats

Here in Europe we don't have Verizon so during the carrier installation can I select another carrier or is it an obligation to select Verizon ?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShahinTehShiz:
Hey all,

I've been having some random soft reboots ever since flashing stock pre-rooted Lollipop. It's not a big issue, but it'll sometimes happen out of nowhere or when I'm opening/closing an app or even when pressing send on a message or whatsapp message, making it annoying that I have to wait for it to start up and retype the message again.

I know it's a soft-reboot, since all of my recents are still there etc.

Here's some screens. One was when I charged to 100%, turned charger off, went to sleep, and woke up with 0%!

The other is the battery graph and you can see the random reboots occurring.

Flashing Xposed Alpha 4, so hopefully this should fix.

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfeo:
In Lollipop, the recent apps list doesn't get cleared with normal reboots.

I've never been able to soft-reboot my Z3C, it always freezes and "hard-reboots" (KK and LP)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempo582002:
Hi,All.

I have a question about my D855.

I was pick my D855 to customer service center repair at last week.They said and show me RCT result Like this(Rooting related file had been installed. >busybox)sor i forgot capture the result...

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsbighead:
Just flash it using CSE Flash Mode in LG Flash Tool 2014 and it should remove busybox

If it doesnt say anything about a rooting file being installed then your fine
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempo582002:
I remember that i was use that mode to install official rom. . . after this step .RCT result is Official... T.T

Yes, its true, HTC is officially abandoning the windows platform!

UPDATE:

Sources are confirming the adoption of the linux platform or symbian platform. Its most probably not going to take massive shape this year, but by next year we will see a significant change.

^^ Sources
[P3600 General] ItalianTytan:
register article is referring to smartphone platform only! maybe pda platform will remain with MS...
[P3600 General] anonimo:
"smartphone" is generally used also for devices with touchscreen...

I think HTC is afraid of MS doing again what they have done with the media players business: they used other hardware vendors to create market perception and later they went for their own product (Zune) with a different DRM and left the "PlaysForSure" clan with cold feet.

Now that Apple has its own branded phone Microsoft will have to have a MS branded phone soon and that could mean bye bye to HTC and the other vendors, so better jump ship before it's too late.

This announcement could also be only a warning to MS; at the moment HTC is practically the only company in the world that could throw a blow at Microsoft: without HTC the MS market share in smartphones would fall to a level of insignificance and they would have to rebuild their mobile phone market share from scratch.
[P3600 General] AkshayGenius:
Btw, is there any other OS than wm6 that we can port into right now like linux or something, I really love trying stuff like this out. Is there any way to put s60 v3 or even linux onto my trinity?
[P3600 General] aZooZa:
There's a Linux kernel out there somewhere - iPaQ 3900 was the last device I saw it working on eons ago...
[P3600 General] stepw:
AkshayGenius,

check Hermes forum, haret supports Trinity and semi-bootable kernel exists.

Doesn't boot completely on Hermes or Trinity so far.
[P3600 General] ericlin0122:
hope some good UI os will come out soon!

i really dont wanna buy iphone..... unless HTC can come out better UI os...
[P3600 General] El_Mariachi:
Not really, in terms of Windows Mobile devices and WM5, you had the Pocket PC and Smartphone edition, the latter of which is on devices without touch screen e.g. HTC Meteor, Canary, Tanager etc.

I don't know if you mean "generally" as in all devices that are smartphonish on the market - you've got a lot that's not touch screen there too e.g. N95.
[P3600 General] anonimo:
With "generally" I mean what you read in market researches. When you read about the Symbian market share that includes both S60 (no touchscreen) and UIQ (touchscreen) phones. Same goes for Windows Mobile.

The term "smartphone" was not invented by microsoft (did they ever invent anything? :) ) and it means "phone where you can install and use third party software beyond java applets" as opposed to "feature phone" where you can only use what is preinstalled in the phone (and only add Java applets).
[P3600 General] AkshayGenius:
So can anybody make an OS which I for ex can put on my p3600 for ex.
[P3600 General] Stingray66:
HTC has the best position in the market because of the Windows line. When they abandone the Windows platform, they give their market share to HP for example.

HTC also knows that Microsoft integrates everything from Office, Exchange, VOIP, Sharepoint to Live, etc.

Saying one thing and do some expirements with Linux, puts the pressure on Microsoft for nice deals (cheaper OS) for more HTC profit.
[P3600 General] joeonsunset:
I haven't looked for other sources, but, a reading of the article hardly supports the assertion that HTC is "officially abandoning" WM. I mean, the ONLY quote just says they're "looking at" other OS's.

Talk about exaggeration.
[P3600 General] qubz:
i hope they turn to Linux, any exp coder will know that M$ is a piece of **** when it comes to resources, so look forward to faster, more stable phones. On the down side is the lack of app's supporting linux, but that said, the moment it becomes a reality, I'm there....
[P3600 General] aZooZa:
Indeed so! BSD is now a reality on the iPhone - the mind boggles at how the market could look in 12 months. Mind you, I still prefer my Trinity to the iPhone but am particularly peeved that HTC haven't seen fit to officlally release WM6 for it.
[P3600 General] ericlin0122:
LOL

WHY dont they contract with Ubuntu? make something like ubuntu mobile ??

LOL

than Iphone is ****ed.
[P3600 General] lmjabreu:
If HTC would evolve a bit and embrace the 3rd party app model present on the iPhone, enhance it a bit and add support for fetching data from hardware components like gps modules, not like java, but something like Adobe® AIR™ for mobile devices with offline capabilities, that would be great foe everybody, most of the apps we use are for improving/replacing the poorly designed windows mobile apps&interface, other can be fully replaced by web apps, codewallet for example, imagine it with offline and online modes, sync between both, and you have your passwords accessible on any device or desktop, multimedia editing is also possible using flash and server-side code, like picnik.com, so, it would be necessary to create new apps, but this new model would be far better than the current one, it would also eliminate the need for manual app updating, it would... heh, make cracking impossible, so, good for the devs for that and also for the easier&cheaper development(VS not needed, html+css+flash+javascript+rails[heh :D]), it would also give HTC the freedom to create a sleek GUI(compiz and stuff?) since its easier to replace the linux gui than wmobile, no licensing fees from ms i think.

Funny you should say that. Have a look at this: http://www.wired.com/software/coolapps/news/2007/07/iphoney. In the article it mentions just this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded.

So Ubuntu mobile coming in October. As soon as a good GPS navigation software release for Ubuntu comes out - I'm trying it.
[P3600 General] Benzin:
That's right. Commercial is sometimes opposite to good. Windows is the only viable OS from the commercial point of view.

SW Gurues are a minority. It would be nice having more than one OS choice but, to me, Windows is still a must for HTC.

Just got S6 and I really need it too! I don't understand why retards don't add this feature into every stock ROM, but you want 2gb of bloatware - no problem!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_chela:
Hi guys..Im new to this forum and I have one realy big issue.So i bought galaxy s6 like a week ago and I started noticing problems with my data.When I turn it on it works great for the first 10-15 minutes and after that it starts getting realy slow and starts dropping.I went to change the phone i put my sim card in other phone and the same thing happened.They told me the problem is my sim card so I went and changed the sim card also ..I got the new sim card with the same number.my apn setting are fine I tried toggling off LTE network I tried factory reset but nothing helped even when my reception is full this is still happening.I didnt have any problem with my previous lg g3 or galaxy s5 just with galaxy s6.And also when my data is on and I make a call the icon on the status bar H+ or 4G disappears

Does anyone else has this problem or know how to solve it?

Btw i dont know does this helpes but I live in Uae and I have DU sim card.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ave666:
Also got the same problem
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_chela:
Thanks god that im not alone...im guessing that its lolipop issue hopefully they will release the update quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kepiro:
502 lollipop for france is out for g850f.

i have a question - there is a chain or a specific path that samsung follow for releasing updates in specific regions?

to be more specific when lollipop arrives in romania for galaxy alpha g850f?

i saw that orange lollipop has been released for g850f in romania, but for the unlocked variant is still missing!

if someone has any idea about region releases, please post some details and i will give a BIG THANKS!

michael
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kepiro:
no one?

somebody? any clues?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mihaiolimpiu:
WTF?

There is no Orange Lollipop ... there is only a late update to KITKAT from Orange Romania that as usual is the crappiest mobile provider ever!
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kepiro:
yep, sorry, my bad!

i saw something wrong.

still, about when will the update drops nearby, from first french release, there is a country pattern or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mihaiolimpiu:
Nope, it could be hours, days, weeks, months depending on the mobile providers. The France release could be a test phase and after if results are positive they could go global.

Problems with software could lengthen the process and the recent apps button bug that some experienced is bound to do just that.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] LaCroyx:
Or you could update to lollipop with odin. But so far only the french version is out.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mherma:
5.0.2 is out in france. You can download the update from sammobile.com. Go to their site, search for galaxy alpha in firmware section, then follow the links to download it. When done, follow the tutorial on how to install odin and drivers for windows PC.I did this, first try and worked like a charm. I'm using 'international' 850F. It's really a simple procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kepiro:
yes, but...

i have installed the french version, but i need my country version when comes out from the motive that i hope is less buggy...

there are tests now to ensure the other versions are bugless, but i dont know how many weeks we must wait for.

in the end they will push the 5.1.1 update, cuz 5.0.2 is difficult to make it clean considering google got issues too with him

when on android we have to be able to control oure frustrations regarding updates, especially from oure carriers ...so...

KEEP CALM AND WAIT FOR IT cuz im not calm and im reconsider my next strategy of buying future phone
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kepiro:
anyone with some news about when lollipop is released in other regions? ...for G850F

there are 2 weeks from france release?

how much do we have to wait?

i hope not another 2...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mitkosan:
The best sourse for news remains Sammobile. When the update is ready, it will be posted there. We just have to have patience.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jetbruceli:
It is carrier specific. The french version is basically a test release to the public and all carriers get the same firmware. It is up to them to release that version related to them.

Basically dont blame samsung, ask your carrier when it will be released
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kepiro:
what carrier? i'm a free carrier user! i relay on a carrier just with contract but phone was bought from shop. i can choose any carrier i want! so... who gives the updates for unlocked phones? it's samsung, i think.

corret me if not
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jetbruceli:
Your csc is your carrier since thats what you were asking for, in my case my unbranded DBT alpha still has to wait for debital, the german unbranded version.

Also since you dont care, then you have your version with the french release.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jetbruceli:
http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-G850F new build here
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hamud.q:
it's for UAE
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jetbruceli:
Doesnt matter, it will work on the SM-G850F regardless and its a new build. Plus this is a thread about Region updates.

I would flash but I dont have time at the moment but I am sure its featured with multiple CSC's so it should not effect the use to anyones area. All SM-G850F have the same hardware and features. The difference in CSC are region tailored with specific bloatware and minor differences like lockscreen shortcuts and signal icons (some use LTE and others will have 4G). Most importantly this build has a new changelog which means Samsung may have fixed some issues with the French build.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] The Suspect:
Can i get it on danish?

Helloo,

So, if i flash the new UAE, can i still get everything on Danish? I mean, is there multiple language on? English would be fine too ..

Another thing, would this trigger knox? Thinking its not a custom, but a official ROM from Samsung, so it shouldn't trigger, am i right or? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jetbruceli:
I haven't flashed it yet but I believe it will have all supported languages. It won't trip Knox as long as its official from Samsung it won't touch knox.

new release

i have noticed that another version is out for G850F for United Arab Emirates (XSG) with following details:

as you can see this version is build later than france release so maby it is bugless.

i download now and in a couple of hours i will return with details about how it works...

so STAY TUNED...

:laugh:

...i see that no one installed/posted something about this version so i will offer some support

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] AlexanderKgr:
It's working better than the French one
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kepiro:
UAE version

sry for delay

well as a notice there are no differences from french version

i think it is just a little bit more responsive and liquid and battery lasts also a little more but maby is just me, i'm not sure for now, need more time maby a week or so

i will come back with details, but i hope more and more regions to receive their sweet treats too.

Is there a chance to download the firmware on another site than Sammobile? 15 kB/s isn't much :(

No unless someone uploads it. I DL at 256kbs from sammobile. I usually let them download during the day and flash at night. Or you could pay for it for a few days but who wants to do that?

how it works? ...and how is ram management?

the other versions use to much ram in stand by......abot 1,5 gb

anyone installed this new version?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] saxmydix:
Yeah, but im not using as my default ROM just taking the kernel as it fix the recent button issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Rey_:
not worth , i tried . nothing better than france version . still got battery draining , ram mangement isn't well, i noticed gpsd is consume much battery even my gps is off .dont know why . i just got 1h sot without wifi . still kk is the best:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] mihaiolimpiu:
You really need to reset your devices... That is not right... 1H SOT???

I don't see any improvements over KK but definitively not a bad rom. I really like that energy save mode remembers to go to grayscale now. Also RAM usage is nowhere that high... I remember 600-700 Mb are always free...

48 minutes SOT 58% left wifi/bluetooth/GPS are always active, with Emirates rom after 22H.

Just flashed Malaysian Rom and got 0.94 GB free ram.... come on, that is not bad... free ram is always wasted ram so actually I don't like this... After testing all my apps still 700Mb free.

Another good news: BubbleUPnP (DLNA client) now works again... didn't render anything on Emirates rom.

It feels fluid, faster than any Lollipop rom till now (but this is obviously just personal opinion).

I've reset my device fully after upgrading to lollipop, after just a simple flash will do...

Let me try Antutu: 50639... pretty good!

I must say that I have deleted: Line and Indonesian gift blabla, and also I always disable: Google Play Books, Google Play Music, Chrome, Gmail, Google+, Polaris viewer and location news (disaster warning app).

Maybe they'll skip 502 for most regions.

From Portugal, unbranded, and no 502 update. Is strange that a carried version gets updated before the unbranded one.
