[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baadshahpuneet:
just too good a phone at this price

when i purchased it i dint have much expectations considering its cheap.but then as i am using it for over 2 months now ,i dont feel it as a cheap phone.it never hanged on me..not even once.though i have disabled quite a lot of stuff but thats fine...this is first phone i am running without rooting in last 5 years.and surprisingly i am not feeling need to .My battery lasts beyond 3 days and it runs fast enuf in comparison to my past phones which i had to root to make them usable(samsung s3 , s advance etc)

i wud say go fr it..5.1 update is sure to improve it further
[E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightyearjones:
When I first bought my moto e (xt1526) a few months back, at first it sucked. I wanted my ZTE max back. Everything was laggy. Even after the 5.1 update. So, I rooted and tinkered with roms that our great XDA developers have been working very hard on, until I found one that was somewhat solid. It ended up being a soak test 5.1 rom. It made the phone snappy and overall great. The only issue is my mic drops out on my bluetooth sometimes. Overall it is a great phone to me for its price.

in the top right corner of my white LTE xperia z4 tablet the frame before the corner is a bit higher than thefram in the corner itself, as you can see in the image, is it the same with yours too?

by the way, i found that tiny black scratch on the bottom of my tablet' it's so tiny but it is driving me crazy

the tablet is upside down inthe picture' this is the bottom frame

does any of you have something similar on you tablet?

thank you
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaddyWhale:
Not to be negative, but is it possible that your tablet is counterfeit? Can you confirm the serial number with Sony? Or perhaps dunk it in water to see if it's watertight?

well' i live in israel so my only option to buy it was through an israely retail who imports in from china, as part of the import process they are forced buy the state to open the box and replace the wall plug with an israeli one,so i got and open box with a SAMSUNG wall plug, i also suspect thaqt they turned on the device and installed some localiztion and warranty software on it

anyway of you find on your tablet one of the two things i stated before' please tell me, thank you

Anybody else?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Cole:
I can kinda see the corner of mine there like that too, but I don't think it's much to worry about. If you're really worried about the tablet being counterfit, run AnTuTu and see how the score matches up. If it's counterfit, it obviously won't be a Snapdragon 810.

Though, I really don't like how my tablet creaks a little when I squeeze the back. Does that happen for anyone else?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uv101:
creaking is normal, because it's plastic, i didn't get to test mine yet, but my gs4 was creaking, but after some time i didn't touch that area it somehow stopped and my ps vita also creaks.

by the wa' do you have that scratch at the bottom of the device as shown in the picture i posted here?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Cole:
Well, mine is black, so.. I probably couldn't see it all too well even if it was there, but no, I don't see anything down there. If it really bothers you so much, ask for a replacement from whomever you bought it from. I'd doubt they'd deny you.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uv101:
Thank you

By the way, my tablet does creak

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.abdelradi:
Hi

hope any can help with the issue i am facing, simply i deleted my os & the back up file while trying to flash a rom

all i can access now is twrp recovery screen, i tried flashing a couple of custom rom with no luck

my device is HTC one M8, it was rooted but i don't think it is anymore since it says that i don't have su installed

excuse my lack of android knowledge, as i am new to this whole thing

thanks for reading and any help is appreciated
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I never fail to be frustrated at the nearly

countless

reports here of "I deleted everything on my phone and now its stuck".

If you lack knowledge of Androids mods, the proper way to proceed is to familiarize yourself and understand what you are doing

before

doing it. The absolute

wrong

thing to do, is to delete things without knowing what the result will be, and not knowing how to revert from that condition. Plus, the default wipe (user data, cache and Dalvik) on TWRP clearly states that "most of the time, this is the only wipe you need". It says this for good reason, and the additional wipe options are labelled "Advanced" also for good reason. So there were a couple warning signs against doing what you did, that you chose to ignore.

You didn't specify what ROMs you tried (makes it hard to help) and whether you put those on the phone before you wiped the OS; or if you know how to put ROMs on the phone in the current condition (using adb push, or removable SD).

Also, missing some key info:

1) hboot number

2) OS number on hboot screen (or main version as determined by adb getvar all)

3) CID (carrier version) of your phone

4) S-on or s-off

5) What version TWRP
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashypanda:
while in TWRP, plug your phone into a computer and under mount you mount the phone as USB, and you copy over a ROM zip, and you flash it as you would normally. that should have fixed it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
While your advice is generally true, the specific ROM (or TWRP version) may part of the issue. OP will need to be careful to flash a ROM that supports his current firmware (hboot, radio, etc.) otherwise he may have some serious problems.

The fact that he said he tried a few ROMs that didn't work, leads me to believe he either has old firmware, or old TWRP.

OP should provide the info I requested in my last post, so we can more specifically help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.abdelradi:
thank you for your assitance

1) hboot number:3.16..0.000

2) OS number on hboot screen: nothing apears next to OS on Hboot screen

3) CID (carrier version) of your phone-HTC__j15

4)s-off

5) What version TWRP: 2.7.0.2

hope this info helps

please advise me which rom to use as i am totally lost here

sorry if i caused any disturbance
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
To bring your phone up to date, you can flash the 4.16.1540 firmware posted here. Then update to TWRP 2.8.7 (flash in fastboot), then flash most any current ROM for the M8.

Another option you can flash an old Android 4.4.2 ROM based on software version 1.xx (1.12, 1.54, etc.) to match your old firmware. But in this case, don't update to the latest TWRP before doing so, as it won't work with hboot 3.16.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Personally, I would rather go with a "combined" firmware, such as the ones provided here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/development/progress-fuu-m8-t2813792

Mike's firmwares are incremental afaik (pulled from the OTAs), so jumping from from a 1.xx firmware all the way to an [incremental] 4.16 version, is going to cause problems.

thank you.. been trying to get my phone back to 4.2.2 for the past week and havent tried doing viper yet..

plzzzz help...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Dude, your firmware is super old and you won't be able to run the latest ViperROM with it.

Be aware what I'm telling you to do will wipe your phone, (you'll need to do a full wipe to flash the ViperROM anyway)

Go here to download the official RUU from HTC's US website

Scroll down to the "Manual System Update Instructions" and read them. The RUU download is at the end of the instructions

After the RUU has run, reflash TWRP, then flash the ROM
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
A word of advice, I know you are new here, but posting "I did the same" or similar ("same problem" etc.) is

never

true. Especially since you are responding to a thread from 2 years ago, different M8 versions, different ROM, different TWRP version.

There are simply far too many differences to say you "did the same" and that statement is therefore meaningless. Better to just describe the exact issue (which you did) and not bother with such vague statements.

As xunholyx explained you need to update the firmware, not just the ROM. Firmware includes a whole bunch of other partitions (hboot, radio, WiFi, and more) that ROM doesn't touch. Old firmware (your is very old) is not compatible with a more recent version ROM.

Old firmware is also not compatible with the current TWRP 3.1.1-0, so the ROM won't flash properly, either.

So as already suggested, flash RUU to update all the firmware. Then flash TWRP 3.1.1-0 back to the phone, and flash Viper.

Another good rule of thumb, do

NOT

wipe things in TWRP "Advanced" wipe options, unless you know exactly what it is, and what the result will be. Wiping internal storage and/or SD will in most cases not help matter, but just make them worse (wipe backups, ROM zips, etc.).

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, I'm sure it is, but nothing really makes sense to me at this stage. I've used Apple products before, so this is all new to me. Yes I'm aware how frustrating it is explaining what you think is basic **** for the hundredth time to some guy who just created an account to ask this question, but I'm different I swear, help me out!

It is currently running firmware 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.9, build FROYO.DVJJ3.

From what I can see, Android is currently at version 5...? So my questions are: what's the latest firmware I can get just using the normal update? Do I need to jailbreak/root/whatever to get a newer firmware? Is it worth it? As in, will it run slower, or are the jailbreaks/roots unstable?

And if it is worth it, what's the process for upgrading?

Also how do I even update normally? I can't find that menu haha...

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
Please keep in mind that flashing a wrong firmware can end badly. Especially using a wrong Bootloader csn result in a paperweight. And Odin flashables include a bootloader.

I don't know what the result will be if the phone is just a different variant, but you should always be careful with that. What you are doing might not be free of risks, thats what I mean.

I wouldn't recommend doing what you are doing. Odin failing is usually a bad sign.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theinspector:
If you pull the battery so the phone is full powered off, press and hold the volume down button, and the power button down at the same time until you see the LG logo, then release just the power button, keep holding the volume down button, and then quickly press power and hold it again, you will be brought to a factory reset page, that tells you it will wipe all your data, don't worry about it, nothing will wipe, scroll down with the volume key to the yes button, hit power to accept it, it will ask you to confirm it, hit power twice and it should boot into twrp. If it boots into twrp, like it should, then you can either sideload a rom, flash an existing one you have on the phone, or hopefully you have made a twrp backup of your previous rom to restore. If instead of going into twrp, it puts you back into fastboot or download mode after agreeing to the factory reset, then there is a few more things to try.
