[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tulsadiver:
If you had safestrap installed you flash a KitKat kernel right over your OC4 to get safestrap to boot up. Before your phone boots all the way up, go into recovery, and flash your ROM. Boot into download mode via safestrap, Odin the corresponding firmware.

I have used flashfire quite a bit to go up and down. The only problem I had is when I was on NGC. Flashfire wouldn't work for me. I'm no expert but this is how I've done it with flashfire.

1. Hit the plus, select firmware, only check boot and recovery.

2. Hit plus, select zip-ota and your ROM ( don't check auto mount)

3. Hit plus, select firmware again, check boot, recovery, modem, firmware. Flashfire will ask if you want them in separate zips, say yes.

4. Hit plus and wipe. Wipe all but SD card).

Arrange like this

1. Wipe

2. Firmware- boot+recovery

3. ROM

4. Firmware- modem+firmware

5. Firmware-boot+recovery

6. EverRoot - inject SuperSU

7. Reboot

I've gone to OA8, OC4, NI2, and NK2 with no problems. I'm getting ready to test NE9 but like I said I had trouble coming from NGC. Try at your own risk.

Edit: Just went from NI2 to NE9 Alliance ROM with no problems

I have endeavoru tegra HOX. I wanted to flash thhis tom:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2642213

I managed to flash TWRP 2.6.3.0. When I boot into recovery touch screen is not responding. I searched around and it seems that it is caused by outdated kernel, in order to use twrp I need new kernel. Also, it seems that in order to have working touch in 4.4 roms kernel is needed too.

I tried flashing one (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647993) through flashify app, broke something, wifi stopped working and I was stuck in slight mode, I restored backup.

What am I supposed to do now? I cant use recovery to flash kernel properly, I'm not sure if I even used proper one. Can someone help?

I found this repacked recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49819603&postcount=830, will it fix touch problems and allow me to flash mentioned rom without worryng about breaking something?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBiton:
I've recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my HTC One M8, and I noticed that you have to pay in order to S-OFF your device. I wanted to know if you can install a custom ROM without being S-OFF?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyeejay:
You can but as far as I'm aware it's only up to 4.4.3. I'm using Sinless Rom 4.4.3 but really want to go 4.4.4. I did install a couple but had no WiFi connection on them:( I'm going to s-off with Sunshine soon when I've got the money. Hopefully a dev will prove me wrong and say you can install 4.4.4 without being s-on. It could be that my firmware is really outdated so in which case I'd have to go back to stock and update it. Anyway hope my gibberish helped in some way:)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'm trying to understand what you are saying here.

What

is only up to 4.4.3? Stock M8's have been updated not only to 4.4.4, but to 5.0 (Lollipop).

If you are on a 4.4.3 ROM, and going to 4.4.4 breaks WiFi, you in fact have outdated firmware.

Return to stock ROM and stock recovery and install official OTAs up to current (5.0 Lollipop) to run the current custom ROMs, without having to s-off.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBiton:
I will attempt to do that and keep you guys posted.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes and No.

You can flash any custom ROMs meant for the M8, meaning they will flash. But some things might be broken (extreme long boot times, broken WiFi) if you "firmware" is not up to date.

Reason for that is that when going between major updates (Android builds 4.4.2 to 4.4.2, etc.) HTC has been updating a collection of modules (aside from the ROM itself) commonly called "firmware" that includes hboot, radio, WiFi, and other stuff. Many of these partitions are write protected. Theefore, they can only be updated either by official means (such as OTA updates) or otherwise you need s-off to "manually" update them.

One easy question, is your phone already running stock Lollipop? If so, you can just flash any custom ROM meant for the M8.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

Are you currently running stock KitKat?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyeejay:
Thanks for clearing that up for me, I only said 4.4.3 as I came from 4.4.2 originally. I did suspect my firmware had something to do with it hence why I said hopefully someone could prove me wrong and so they have?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBiton:
Yes. I am currently running stock 5.0
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No need to return to stock recovery and OTA, then. Your firmware is up to date.

Just flash the custom ROM of your choice. S-off not required.

hello everyone,i recently bought a used verizon htc one m7 (m7_wlv) in great physical condition but it would not boot into the os and just hung at the white htc android screen.

i have spent nearly 2 whole days trying to fix this, but i finally decided i need some help.:silly:

here is what its doing:

from power off state; press power button for a few seconds till it turns on, vibrates shortly and shows white "htc powered by android screen". after about 20 seconds it will go to a blank screen and the computer will recognize it as QHSUSB_DLOAD and continue to register as that for however long i leave it plugged in. i then have to hold down the power and vol- buttons until i see the bootloader then i can shut it down under the fastboot menu. it will charge when plugged into either usb or wall plug power unless in qhsusb mode

the phone is s-on and bootloader is locked

here is results from fastboot getvar all:

it appears to me that this phone has never been tampered with and may have died from an update?

i have tried doing dexter's revive.sh script in both virtual machine ubuntu and ubuntu installed allongside windows and only get 'device not found aborting' messages (adb and fastboot were installed on both)

it seems to me that if only i could get s-off i could then install a custom recovery and then install a rom and be good to go. or at least unlock the bootloader and get a custom recovery. is there any way to unlock the bootloader with no adb access/ no os bootable? or is jtag my only option now? java card perhaps?

thanks again i look forward to any help:laugh:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:

QHSUSB_DLOAD only happens on a bad firmware flash or a dead motherboard

no that's even worse, with a bad firmware flash the phone is pitch black nothing on screen at all

no lights work nothing
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] persom55:
So if I understand correctly, you're saying that since it is not a case of no lights/no response at all that my problem is not firmware related.

Darn I guess it's time to find a good motherboard then.

Well thanks for clearing it up so quickly
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
yes I did mine with a bad firmware flash and was able to fix it with dexter fix .. my phone was completely dead only sign of life was the Q mode when you plugged it into the PC (driver install error). what you have is a dead motherboard that still has a working bootloader

I have the International Unlocked N910C Exynos model, rooted, running Simplite Rom which is the lightest Rom available, plus after rooted you can remove and disable all useless apps and services you don't need to use, that's all I did, the results are 1.5 day and 6hrs SOT(screen on time), for me this is more than enough, I know a lot of people will suggest waiting for the Note 5, but just think about the price, the Note 4 is almost a year old and still between $650+ - $750,(depending on the market) I didn't want to wait for the Note 5 cuz I know it will be around if not more than $1k, also, at least the Exynos model its almost the same as the new Galaxy S6, same CPU except our chip was build in 20nm and the new on in 14 nm, we also have almost the same camera, overall the Note 4 still an excellent device, maybe you have enough $$$ or not, but I will stick to my Note 4 and if I like something about the Note 5 I just wait to be ported, like I was running a Note 4 Rom ported on my Note 2, well I hope you decide to meet your needs, but this device its beyond awesome, god bless, cheers:fingers-crossed:

I purchased the N910C Exynos variant, and upgraded to Lollipop out of the box. I've had no problems with battery life, regularly getting 5-6 hours of screen on time, with 10-20% battery left at the end of the day. Just follow the standard advice for taking care of battery usage and be careful what apps you have running in the background. The Exynos variant has a Wolfson DAC, so it's great for listening to music - I finally parted company with my trusty Sony Walkman as the music playback on the Note 4 was so good. Can't speak for the audio on the Snapdragon variant though as it has different circuitry.

Search for "flashtool", download and install. Sony formwares come packed as FTFs, you can make them yourself too using flashtool. Don't update the phone first. Search giefroot, it will root your phone. Search "nut dual recovery" and install it after rotting. After this, never flash FTFs until there's nothing else you can do. Search "xperifirm", it will be used to download latest firmware for your device. "xperifirm will download a bunch of files to a folder and flashtool can use these files to make a FTF. Search "PRF creator" PRF is prerooted firmware. PRF C makes a zip file of latest firmware which you can flash through recovery. Wait till your phone is here, once you are doing it, it will become clearer. Search "Backup TA". This should be first thing to use after you root.

[LG Watch Urbane] yhrn:
Hi,

I have a Nexus 6 (stock 5.1, rooted but no other system modifications), a pair of Philips Fidelio M2BT Bluetooth headphones and a Watch Urbane (fully stock). When I connect the headphones to the phone with the watch already connected I get no media sound in the headphones even though they connect successfully. If I look go to the Bluetooth settings the headphones are listed as "Connected (no media)". Sometimes the sound is played on the phone speakers and sometimes nowhere. I can usually get around this by first disconnecting the watch in the Wear app before connecting the headphones and then the watch. Sometimes I also need to turn Bluetooth off and back on before starting to reconnect the devices and sometimes I need to reboot the phone. I've used the phone and headphones together for half a year with no issues whatsoever. Also note that I'm not trying to connect the headphones to the watch but to the phone.

Anyone else seeing similar behavior? Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
[LG Watch Urbane] jss42:
I don't have my Urbane yet, so I'm not sure if I can help. But when the phone is connected to the Urbane, can you edit the Bluetooth connection on the phone to ensure that it's not taking audio (I know it doesn't have speaker, but is it taking the Media Audio Profile?)
[LG Watch Urbane] yhrn:
Thanks for the suggestion but no, the Urbane is listed only as a "raw" Bluetooth device, i.e. there are no check boxes for profiles in it's Bluetooth settings. In fact it's never listed as connected at all in the Bluetooth device list. I figured that this is some kind of Android Wear quirk but it's my first Wear device so I'm not sure.
