You want the firmware that matches the RUU, they will have the same number (4.28.502.1).

The firmware was posted here: http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/lollipop-ota-twrp-backup-firmware-t3075835
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lief.erl:
Looks like there are three[4.28.502.1] different firmware files.

4.28.502.1 OTA.ZIP

4.28.502.1 TWRP backup

4.28.502.1 Firmware

None of them say they are mirrors (ones which are have "mirror by" as prefix), so I am assuming some difference. Which one should I go with.

BTW, is it possible to go back to earlier android os, for example kit kat. I am asking this because going back might mean downgrading firmware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Those aren't all firmware. Just the one that says "firmware" is firmware.

OTA.zip is the actual official OTA form AT&T, which would only work if you were on the Sense version directly preceding this update (so this is to go from stock Sense 3.42 > 4.28), and also stock recovery.

TWRP backup is just a backup of the ROM, and doesn't include firmware. Obviously, restore with TWRP as you would your own TWRP backup.

Sure, you would just need the RUU for the desired version, and the matching firmware.

Downgrading firmware is only prohibited with s-on (version check prevents it).

You can find the RUUs here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2751432

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lief.erl:
Do you know which version of android os will ruu 1.58.502.1 install?

Some guides say to rename the firmware file to SOMETHINGfirmware.zip, while others say to rename to 0P6BIMG.zip. Does it depend on how I am flashing. For the first one I will flash using fastboot, and for the other one I will flash by putting the file on the sd card.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Android 4.4.2

Software 1.x = Android 4.4.2

2.x = 4.4.3

3.x = 4.4.4

4.x = 5.0

Yes, it depends on how you flash (fastboot vs. putting file on the phone).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lief.erl:
I am sorry to bother you again, but I can't seem to find RUU and a firmware for android 4.4.2 for AT&T.

The closest thing I have found is http://xdaforums.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-1-58-501-1-bootable-ruu-hboot-t2818556

which is a bootable zip.

I am trying to avoid using any method other than official RUU.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Link to the 1.58 RUU is in my Index thread, which I indicated in Post #6 above (1st link).

On my Index thread, under RUUs, its the 1st link under "Official" RUUs.

I'll see if I can find the firmware zip for that RUU.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lief.erl:
One last question (I think), how do I determine what should be the name of the firmware zip, if I am going to be flashing from PC.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I actually do not think it matter, as long as its a zip.

Some instructions will say firmware.zip. Others will call it something else, such as the specific file name including software number. And in fact, this guide says: fastboot flash zip 2.22.1540.3_firmware.zip or whatever the latest builds firmware zip is called.

If you look at the syntax of the command, its simply flashing a zip and not even specific to firmware: "fastboot flash zip blahblahblah.zip" and its what is inside the zip that determines what is being flashed to what partition on the phone.

Just make sure if you rename the file, that you don't have the Windows option enabled to hide file extensions. Otherwise you may name the file firmware.zip.zip and not realize it. This is a common error, since hiding the file extensions is typically enabled by default in Windows.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lief.erl:
Thanks for all the help, but this method didn't work for me. After I was successful in flashing older firmware, M8 refused to the go in the the actual android os which is required for RUU (.exe) to work its magic (needs adb). May be because older firmware and latest OS (GPE 5.1) weren't compatible with each other. So I ended up using a bootable RUU with excellent result. Though the deed is done and I have returned the phone (Color banding was too much bear), I am curious whether it would have worked if adb was enabled inside TWRP.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You can RUU with the phone in fastboot mode as well as booted into the OS. The only difference with booted into OS, is that the RUU will reboot into fastboot anyway. RUU will not work in TWRP (with adb enabled).

And yes, running "newer" version of OS with older firmware will result in issues. Extreme long boot times (and broken WiFi) are the most common issues. So its possible the phone would have booted eventually (just taking a really long time, and not completely "stuck").

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Tulsadiver:
Try looking in the mipmap folders instead of drawables ( though some will be in drawables as well). Look at the chrome apk. There are several mipmap folders and the app icon will sometimes be in different sizes due to where the app icon will be seen ( app drawer, home screen, etc).

Some are in .XML format. If you have custom looking icons, they will be in the launcher .apk you are using but might be in .XML format.

ya , but with kitkat 4.4.4 and later samsung changed most icons to a custom file format like atc , astc or qmg ...these formats are very hard to convert back and forth so it is really a pain in the ass ... i think samsung prefers the iphone customers who like non customizable expensive crap :(

Would like to change to mfrazz xda6 (the real wizard window mobile 6 rom from ngenetics) rom. I thought I read somewhere that someone changed there rom with their pocket pc from the SD card. Please read my question thoroughly. I no theres a method by using a card reader and entering bootloader.....and so on, and so on. I have no access to any type of computer ( until I buy a new one ), and I need instructions or someone point me into the direction for changing my rom with just my pocket pc. I will continue to search forums, google, or whatever myself until we get and answer to this. Thank you all for reading my new post, and helping out in any form or fashion.

[General Topics] mdhensley5:
This is a little off topic, but have your tried booting your laptop and then pressing the F8 key before the Windows boot screen is displayed? From this screen you can try the "Last Known Good...." or try to boot into safe mode. If that doesn't work, you can try booting from your Windows CD and doing a repair installation of windows? If you can get power and it sticks at the boot screen, then some of your boot files may be corrupted. I'm assuming that you have Windows XP. Hope this helps. I don't know anything about flashing ROMs from the SD card, but have heard something about that in this forum or HoFo.

STOP TRYING TO TURN IT ON!! you're making it worse. trust me.

i work as a computer technician, i fix machines that have been spilled on all the time.

shut it down, take it somewhere to have it fixed. it might be dry on the OUTSIDE, but the inside is either

1.) still wet

2.) corroded chips that are shorting out

the only way to really tell, is disassemble it. take everything apart, REMOVE ALL ELECTRICITY to the computer, and check to see where the liquid is and what damage it has done. if you see corrosion spots, get a soft bristle tooth brush, run the part under water and use mild soap to brush it off. rinse it off, then let it dry for 48 hours minimum.

do not do this with the hard drive, optical drive, or LCD - just PCBs.

i've had dozens of computers come to me that had an entire cup of soda/beer/tea/coffee/water, etc. on it and was able to get it working. Water is the easiest to fix, as there are no sugars or anything to bond to the components.

its not the liquid that causes the problem, its the electricity running through it.

my sony vaio laptop

when I saw my laptop it was soak and wet. I removed the keyboard pad, and unscrewed all the screws. Yes there was water on the inside, and I tried to dry it as much as possible. Went on vacation came back three weeks later. Before there was no power, when I return home I turn on my laptop and voila, it comes. I hit the f8 key and started it from its last known good config. System restarts but a small blue screen appears, then disappears. So I return to the bootscreen option and started it up in safe mode with networking. Everything came on in safe mode in a smaller screen size. I went to start/computer system/vaio recovery. Now this is were I messed up. Insted of using the last good config. check point, I used complete system recovery back to its normal state the way I bought it. all programs and software will be deleted.(just like a hard reset for pocket pc). It did a complete recovery of my hard drive c, and restore everything to factory settings. Now when it restarts a message says its missing some files and to repair this hit the "r" key and insert the windows xp cd-rom disc. I did this but it won't boot from the hard disk for some reason. Then after some time from trying to boot from the cd-rom disc, a small blue screen appears with the message: "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ati2dvag. The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. please check your hardware device vendor for any driver updates. technical information: *** stop: 0x000000EA (0x81cB2440, 0x81E0A440, 0xF896DCB4, 0x00000001) ati2dvag- beginning to dump of physical memory-physical memory dump complete.

I won't flame you, but this was posted in the wrong forum regardless of what ROM you are using to flash to your device. Just keeping things clean.
[General Topics] mdhensley5:
Yeah, you're on the right track. You need to make a note of the file it says it's missing and the directory path. Then boot using the XP CD and choose r for recovery console. Depending on the number of windows partitions, you may need to choose the correct partition and provide an administrator password. After that you will see a DOS-like prompt. Copy the missing file from the XP CD to the hard drive. The command should look something like this:

expand d:\i386\missingFile.ex_ c:\windows\system32

D: is your CDROM and C: is your hard drive. Make sure you copy it into the directory that you made a note of earlier.

Also, here is a link that talks about an infinite loop problem with ATI drivers http://www.sightsea.com/pghpchd/pages/infinite_loop.html
[T-Mobile LG G2] w_lf:
Hi. I'm using a T-Mobile LG-G2 with firmware version D80120g. I used AutoRec to install TWRP, but now I'd like to go back to stock everything so that I can get the OTA upgrade to Lollipop. I was planning on using this method, but upon trying to use download mode, it tries to update the firmware, but hangs at 0 percent, while saying ROOTED in red letters at the bottom.

Is there a way to either a.) Go back to stock without use of download mode, or b.) Fix this "ROOTED" message so that it can update the firmware normally and enter download mode properly? Any help is appreciated.

Pixels per inch or PPI like some people say is the amount of pixels per inch on a smartphone display.

A low PPI is typically older, low end devices.(i.e, Motorola Moto E) Lower PPI may include fuzzer text and less detail in photos.

A higher PPI is typically newer higher end phones (i.e, Samsung Galaxy S6).

Having a higher PPI makes text more clearer and more detail in photos.

Here is a picture of an example of PPI

Hello, my galaxy s3 died one day last year and I haven't been able to resurrect it since..inserting battery results in a vibration, samsung logo, then it dies until I pull the battery again. Today I had the sudden urge to try fixing it and got different results than I had previously. I cleaned a bunch of lint from the charging port and am now able to get a short red light flash when the phone is plugged in, followed by a vibration, then the battery charging logo, then death once again. Randomly I'll get the cyanogenmod bootup screen when repeating this cycle but for no longer than a second or two before the phone dies again. I've disassembled the phone and cleaned as much dust and crap as possible to no avail. Any recommendations? Could the power button be frozen? My samsung infuse had a stuck power button and would boot loop but my S3 doesn't seem to be boot looping. Just turning on then dying until I fiddle with the power button again.

I want to rule out sudden death...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] whodisname:

Download a good compatible (with your baseband) ROM.

Fool with the phone. Like really. Keep trying to turn it on, try recovery mode. I fixed one of these. It wasn't quite the same but I still have it. And it works. If the screen wasn't cracked to hell I'd be on it.

Another option may be trying a debrick image on an external sdcard. You should use one based on the same modem and baseband installed on the phone when it last worked.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Some_dude36:
So I have read all over the internet there is a FM chip that is not enabled by default in the galaxy note 4 and many other modern smartphones .

I have also read carriers disable the chip or dont enable the chip by default.

I called Tmo customer service and the woman I spoke with knew about the issue cause others have called inquiring about enabling the FM transmitter in the device to listen to local FM broadcast but ensured and insisted that tmobile has nothing to do with enabling or disabling any hardware in the phone .

So she transfered me to samsung directly and that person told me to just download an fm radio app in the playstore and I explained the apps say no FM radio available and the software needs the fm chip on the circuit boat to be enabled and figured maybe samsung techs knew how to accomplish such a task perhaps by entering a code or other such method . But this person didnt seem to know much about anything and was having a hard time grasping I was looking to get the fm chip enabled to listen to local fm broadcasts and that call ended with that person telling me to contact the app developer and that dev would be able to enable the hardware on my phone :eek:

So has anyone successfully activated the fm chip in the sm-910t ???

Id really like to be able to listen to local fm radio

Hi all. New poster and completely non-tech savy. Over the last few days I've been tinkering with my phone trying to learn about various roms and related. I had successfully flashed the CM11 update to my droid X but found that the OS was running extremely slow. example ( while trying to talk through hangouts it would take 2-3 seconds for each letter to not only to show up but also register so I could type my next letter.) This having been the case I tried to downgrade the OS to stock or some older rom. Since going through the steps I find myself in alot of trouble! I am now able to load stock recovery and bootloader only! I am unable to get into Twrp or CWM at all. The phone if loaded regularly will only go as far as the Motorola logo and no further. It will stay on that logo until the battery is taken out. I am unable to power down or reboot otherwise. Unfortunatley I am unable to supply official information like Build and the related but I can say before flashed to CM11 it was the standard Droid X 2.3.4.621 M810 and the CM 11 build was the most recent CM 11 (shadow) build as of 5/18/2015. I need help to load into Twrp or whatever I can do to just load past the motorola logo screen. Oh lastly, I have installed the Motorola Driver program but my computer doesnt seem to be able to find the connection. It does show on device manager and states it is fully upto date driver wise. However it isnt found in RSD Lite run as admin. PLEASE help and or let me know of any information you need to assist me further.
