[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samkle:
I had the G2 and the Iphone 6 after. Ive had the G4 for 3 days now and i dont regret it a bit even though i had to exchange it with my 6 that was i perfect condition and 70€. From the G2 in my opinion was a huge upgrade everything is better from the Iphone you can only argue if you prefer that much a aluminuim body than the leather/plastic back of the g4, but from the g2 its a nobrainer for me but i must say that ive been very lucky and received a unit without most of the issues stated in the forums and the removable battery and micro sd slot are a huge bonus.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fastbird:
I only moved to a G4 because my G2 digitizer had the notorious failure stripe. Absolutely adored my G2 and while I still have it (Verizon gave me an upgrade but I had to send my G2 in which I haven't done yet) I use it more than the G4 for non-texting and calling functions.

The G4 is better in terms of size, screen, and camera, but feels like it took a step backwards in the software department. It's been simplified and dumbed down, even down to the UI theme being created either for or by a 5 year old. Not polished at all, just childish in design. But the loss of wifi storage is really hurting me, that feature was one I used exclusively on the G2. I'm trying to like the G4 as a replacement to my G2 but I can't get past some of the glaring changes made, and just feel like it doesn't own up to what it could have been and was purported to be.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambervals6:
Question is, have you ever owned the g2? Is it accident that many other people are confirming what I said ;)

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoctorB0NG:
Very condescending and very wrong. The G4 sides are plastic. Have YOU ever seen a G4 in person?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
G2 was amazing. The speaker sucked.

I still have my G2 but upgraded to the G4. It was time. I recently got the G2 replaced under Verizon Corporate refurbished policy and handed it off to my GF.

Here are my thoughts:

The phone feels different but not as huge of an upgrade as I had originally hoped. Overall the experience is pretty much the same and that is not a bad thing. There are some things you lose and some things you gain. There is a dedicated Flashlight button in the drop down menu now which is super awesome, but you lose the WiFi Storage option (very very very sad). Most of the G2 lollipop bugs are apparent in the G4 version. I was kinda disappointed to find this out. I was hoping the G4 would have had a better Lollipop experience.

Pros:

Battery seems MUCH better. I have tons of battery left every day without constantly plugging it in.

Camera is VERY nice.

Bigger Screen

Bigger buttons (vs Verizon G2)

Free 32gb MicroSD and Removable Battery (buy before 6/30)

Quick Charge 2.0

New LG "Peek" feature that lets you slide your finger down while the screen is off to quickly turn on screen and display time/notifications. Remove finger = screen off.

Speaker is much louder, still could be louder though.

Speaker on back vs bottom (user preference). My pinky always covered up the G2 bottom speaker.

Cons:

Not many.

Wireless Storage feature gone but other software options available (see below).

Curved back while laying on desk = wobbly, less surface area so it slides around, slides off my Qi Dock, vibrates louder from it bouncing around/falling off stuff.

No Qi builtin (compared to Verizon G2). Needs $8 Qi Sticker

If you are a initial G2 user, you will find the G4 is similar to the G2 when it came out regarding the battery. I was on a 1hr conference call today and afterwards I was still at 100%. 8am off charger, 9-10am conf, 100%. G2 was like this out of the box.

I love the way the G4 looks. My GF has my G2 and now when I see it, it looks big and bricky. The G4 really has a nice feel. But pretty much everything you love about the G2 will continue with the G4. Very nice.

UPDATE/INFO:

Regarding Wireless Storage, there are similar replacement in the Play Store that do the exact same thing, although not quite as easily launched as it being built in. That feature is basically a SAMBA (SMB) Server. There are plenty around.

The G4 has a plastic body (I think, hard to tell now that I am looking at it).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wekkel:
I appreciated the size of the G2 better than the G4, which is a bit too big (and I have large hands). The G4 does nothing you will miss with the G2, except for the camera and SD Card support. If you can live without those two, no need to upgrade.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Haha I have the G2 right next to me, which I use just for Netflix when I'm at work. I honestly think that the G2 is one of the best phones ever really. It's like a Nexus 5, but the IR blaster makes it so much more fun. The speaker was much better (compared to my Nexus 4), and the battery definitely is bigger than the Nexus 4 or 5. I loved it, but the double tap breakin and screen not responding was my biggest pet peeve. I'm hoping the G4 doesn't have this issue.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremekizzle:
Thanks for the responses everyone. I don't feel I need all of the improvements that the G4 offers. The only thing I'd really miss are wireless charging and maybe the camera. I have a busted screen Moto X '14 sitting in a drawer that I'm going to send in for repair and try to sell on Swappa to cover a new G2. Compared to the X, the G2 has an amazing camera and is all I really need. Like I said the main missed feature is wireless charging, but we'll see what the Next nexus looks like in September. If it's a dud, S6 prices should've fallen by then.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samkle:
If you're not planning to use the phone only for benchmarks than I would say that the g4 is a way better choice that the s6
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny70thomas:
I came from GS6 to G4. LOVED THE 6 , but I didn't like the size. I'm a large Dude, 6'7 with Gorilla hands, and I'm older so big phones work well in my hands, and I need bigger display to see clearly. Anyway the 6 was snappier flipping through apps and screens, but the G4 fir some reason is way better on the Internet. Don't know the tech stuff for why, but I love my g4

On that note I have an upgrade and will buy the Note 5, but will keep my g4

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
Do you get similar results?

Which brand is yours?

I find it weird that mine says 'failed to ENABLE simlock'

Thanks again for the hTC FTM info :D
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jbfountain:
I have the T-Mobile variant, and doesn't Sprint only use their sim card for LTE? I believe that I read somewhere that the only thing that the Sprint variants can use the sim card slot for is to get 3g gsm for traveling overseas. It won't even work on US gsm networks, so I don't think that you can use the sim slot to unlock a Sprint phone. I know that if you tell them that you are going to be traveling abroad they will give you the unlock code for that purpose. Also did you try to get a config.dat file from Seempi? I know that on the gsm phones you have to get that file, and put it on your external sd card. Then you would use the simlock tool.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
Hmmm. I read that it can be used internationaly too, when unlocked by Sprint. So thought there might be some other way. Might have to wait for another method like the m7 and m8 had. Tried the Config.Dat above and it said, failed to enable SIM lock. Which makes me think it is unlocked but Sprint is blocking the SIM on the software side.

I have tried Bad Boys Rom and Viper One also.

On the plus side, I believe I have added the band's requires to get it to work over here.

Guess I'll just wait and get another one in the meantime. :)

Thanks again

hi, i have a sprint htc m9 and i too im trying to get it unlocked. i have read all the threads on the htc m9 but i have some questions:

must my m9 be S-Off to access FTM mode?

i have been trying but i am not getting into that mode. is there a way to do so from adb or an app? i read on the sprint forum to keep pressing volume up and power buttons until you get the FTM screen but that did not happen as the phone kept powering on and off.

when i try holding the buttons for 7 seconds nothing happens.

can you clarify the S-OFF and the process to access FTM mode

best regards
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
I never tried it being S-On. I have a Sprint M9 and I could get into FTM but the unlock did not work. :(

my phone was not activated - I bought it in the US and live in Eastern Europe , and I can not activate - does it matter?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
Shouldn't matter. Mine was activated though. Can you get into FTM? I can but the SIM unlock method does not work on my Sprint M9
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mitek_ace:
Yes I go FTM mode , I tried to lay down the files in the root directory of your phone and on the external card and not what happens (
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
That is exactly what I expected on a Sprint model, as mine did that too. Also notice how it says 'Failed to ENABLE simlock'. Strange
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jbfountain:
Most likely since Sprint does not use a sim card except for LTE it will not function as it would on a GSM phone. I remember reading when Sunshine became available for the M9 that sim unlock was included, but like my previous statement it probably won't for Sprint variants. What I first did to sim unlock my T-Mobile M9 was I get a temporary unlock from T-Mobile,and then I searched for all files and data pertaining to the sim. I was able to locate the files where it showed the temporary unlock, and I changed the data to show that it was temporary unlocked until 2015. The temporary unlock was good for 30 days, but after 45 days it's still unlocked, and it tells me in the unlock app that it's unlocked until 2015. Temporarily that is.?

I Truly Enjoy XDA-Developers.com with this Fabulous HTC One M9
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
According to Sprint it is GSM compatible but GLOBAL mode needs to be enabled. So you may be on to something with the whole 'SIM Unlock' thing. :)http://eguides.sprint.com/support/e...htc_one_m9_ug/enable_global_roaming_mode.html

What sort of file was it that contained the unlock info? Or was it part of a partition such as pg1fs / pg2fs etc?

My AT&T version arrive tomorrow and hopefully it is locked. I intend to dump all partitions before and after SIM unlock to find the difference if it is there :)

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] gjlowe:
I am on T-mobile. In this FTM mode, I cannot see anything on the /sdcard/ path, so it won't run. It also continually gives the "failed to updated device info" message. So, not sure what is needed to make it see the "/sdcard/" path contents.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jbfountain:
If you go here http://www.sieempi.eu/blog/2011/09/22/universal-sim-unlock-for-s-offed-htc-devices-536 you will find a form to fill out, and after you do Seempi will email you a config.dat file. The M9 isn't listed , but fill it out anyway it will work. Take that file and put it in the root of your "EXTERNAL" sd card. Then boot into htc FTM mode, and select sim lock tool, press the power button, and you should be good. To get into htc FTM mode shut off phone. Make sure it is completely off. The M9 can fool you. when it turns off the screen goes black, but it takes a few more seconds before i actually is off. Then press the volume up button and hold then press the power button and hold both buttons until it boots into htc FTM mode. Be patient, as it could take 15 seconds or more.

Cheers
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] maethem:
Do you mean that your M9 unlocked for gsm now?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
Update:

My M9 AT&T version arrived today. FTM mode did not work until I was S-OFF. Held combo for as long as 30 seconds and it just kept rebooting. Once I was S-OFF it worked within 7 seconds from PHONE OFF state (USB unplugged). With USB plugged in it takes longer.. SIM Unlock did not work for me though :( Phone is still asking for network pin code. Will try later on DEV edition Firmware
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jbfountain:
Did you get the config.dat file from Seempi, and put it in your external sd card before using the simlock tool?

I Truly Enjoy XDA-Developers.com with this Fabulous HTC One M9
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
Yup. Logcat show it read the file, but it did not like it. Brought a code from ebay for USD4 and that worked :)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] hiroprotagonist:
Here is my 2 cents. Ordinarily, Sprint enables gsm mode for international use, not use stateside. Also, the procedure is carried out via either OTA activation, or by the VDM client (m7 and m8). I suspect this method doesnt work due to Sprint changing the software used for this procedure fundamentally, in line with Lollipop.

Any ideas?

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

As tested by me and others, replacing or inserting HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk in the phone fails. Some have reported success but after reboot, unlock is still not available. I guess HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk needs to be rewritten or compiled for Lollipop, or the current version used in the M9 hacked to enable the unlock.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jbfountain:
That's great I'm glad you got your phone unlocked, and $4 isn't much to do it.

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
You have been a great help. I am hoping I can help others. Even though $4 isn't a lot. Some providers do not allow unlocking so easily via pin... :( I have found a method in amongst the madness if you car to take a look :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3143333

[Sprint HTC One (M9)] asacado:
if i am not mistaken, all phones that came out after 2/5/2015 have to be DSU, if you have a sprint device bought at full price, you should be able to unlock it for domestic usage.

This would mean the LG G Flex 2, the m9, the galaxy s6/edge, g3+1 are DSU unlockable from sprint. I know for a fact the s6 has all the lte bands for all major carriers as well as the flex 2, the m9 doesnt for some raisin.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
That sounds about right. I have read this elsewhere. All though it is not much use for those still under contract or phone importers :( This is where I am stuck with my Sprint M9. My AT&T is now unlocked though :)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] asacado:
Some got to buy their phones from HTC champs or the events for 300 bucks off contract. Those one's are DSU automatically. DSU helps but our phone needs an update to work better via sprint.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jbfountain:
I believe that the M9 does have all the LTE bands. You just have to enable them with the correct firmware or radio to get the ones that don't come with the version you have.

tmobile m9

Hi i have a htc one m9 for tmobile and i keep getting failed to enable SIMLOCK message any advise you can give me?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] jbfountain:
If you have a T-Mobile variant you will need to be S-Off to be able to access htc FTM mode. Then you will need to go to the Seempi sim unlock for HTC phones with S-Off site. Input your imei, and they will send you a config.dat file that you put in the root of your external sd card. Start your phone by holding down the volume up button then pressing the power button and holding both until it boots into the htc FTM mode. Select simlock tool. Since Seempi doesn't list the M9 as one of the supported models it may or may not work. Also if you use the Sunshine method to gain S-Off check to see if it's sim unlocked before you try to use the Seempi method. I read that Sunshine may sim unlock your phone also. If that dosen't work one of the other members who posted in this thread was able to sim unlock with a $4 code. You will have to search this thread to find that info. Good Luck, and please post your results so other members can benefit from your experience..

[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Now, how is that for an attention grabber ? :D

I have to admit that it's only marginally custom (it's the kernel from 4.5.4), and the whole thing is quite trivial, but good to know that everything works.

If you are in 4.5.3, go to shell, type "uname -a", it'll give you build date of ~Feb. This is your update file for 4.5.3 :

https://kindle-fire-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/update-kindle-20.4.5.3_user_453011120.bin

grab boot.img from this file just to have it handy

Now, grab the 4.5.4 update :

https://kindle-fire-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/update-kindle-20.4.5.4_user_454006120.bin

Extract boot.img from 4.5.4 to somewhere, go to TWRP/Flashify, and flash it to "boot". Reboot, and in shell type "uname -a", it'll give you build date of ~May. Bingo, your custom kernel !!! :good:

I went back and forth from 4.5.3 to 4.5.4, no impact either way ;) But uname confirms the switch.

The next step is to try using cuboot.py to sign some modified kernel, and see if it boots, cuboot.py is here :

http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/tools-create-unlock-img-fix-boot-img-t3050689

I'll try it during workweek since I have Linux set up there.

Small addition - install Busybox from the Play Store to get "uname" working

Update 1 : Tried to run cuboot.py on 4.5.4 kernel, it slightly changed it and re-signed. Flashed this re-signed kernel, got bootloop. Went back to TWRP, flashed an Amazon kernel, back to life!

I wonder how close Amazon kernel is to stock. It should be posssible to compile the entire ROM (KK), keep Amazon kernel, but the rest is stock Android flashed into /system. Franken-ROM !!!
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
My very lame attempt to create a flashable zip for TWRP with 4.5.4 kernel (see the attached file). I tested it on my device, it works. Just drop in your kernel into this zip, and you have your own flashable zip.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] DoLooper:
No uname?

Where'd you get uname? For me, adb shell uname -a returns /system/bin/sh: uname: not found.

Ideas? I'm in Windows world, btw. (Well, kinda minor, all things considered. Congrats and thanks!)
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
Of course, forgot to mention. Go grab Busybox from the Play store, then you'll have "uname".
[Fire HD 6 and 7 General] bibikalka:
This is the source code for Fire OS :

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200203720

So one could compare the kernel to stock Android, and see how different it is. This would help to recycle Amazon's kernel for custom ROMs.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tikiflame:
Well, AT&T got me this time, somehow the OTA apparently auto ran a batch file, Forced a reboot to what the phone thought was stock recovery to do the OTA, WHOOPS " TEAM WIN IS NOT STOCK RECOVERY "

And now, yes you know it, every time I choose to reboot to System in twrp. It boots right back into twrp, YaY . Now I really Like team win and all, but I would also like to be able to boot back into the system style, but i don't think it is possible .?.

This is my Question

, Can I ADB the Boot to recovery Flag out , remove the command .?. or something like so .?.

....A little insight, I already took the OTA before, when it actually asked me if I wanted too .?. I don't know where that option was this time ? Anyway when I took the OTA before I was only rooted. No custom recovery, And did not know it was going to be Lollipop , and also that I was going to lose some of the G2 features. YaY again So......with help from some of my friends, listed in my signature , I returned my G2 back to Kit-Kat D80020y , but this time the OTA was Forced and I have twrp v. 2.7.0.0 installed, so yeap, this is probably known as Soft Brick. YaY :mad:

If I should just go Cloudy , let me know. I almost did it last month.

*JUST FYI IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU, POWER YOUR DEVICE OFF INSIDE TWRP , IT IS IN THE REBOOT MENU * DON'T LET THE BATTERY DRAIN IN RECOVERY *
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tikiflame:
FOUND IT ! , MOST SIMPLE STEPS EVER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

On your TWRP terminal command type this code ( select root / )

then hit enter

( backspace to delete fota then type misc )

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

now where is that reject anymore OTA's at ? because it still wants to do the ota.
