Hello friends,

I am not new but this is my first thread.

I have just bought a sim-free O2 Orbit from germany and it is working fine.

How can I turn the OS language into english? and I also get a failure connection to the internet since I arrived home in australia. it is 0x8007278.

Please the experts any advice is appreciated. thanks for sharing the science.

:)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] itschase:
I was in the exact situation as you, this is how you change your ROM to English.

Get this program called USPL, it was created by a member of this bard called Bepe. Look on the first post for the program AND the instructions...read them.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311403

What this program does is it unlocks the phones carrier lock so that it will take a ROM that is not OEM.

Once you have this, look for the ROM you want to run, I can personally recommend Bepes WM6 or WM6 Black and Blue v3.

Bepes rom...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=309702

PDA Viet WM6 ROM (super freaking cool, way better than I thought it would be)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=314568

Once you have these two things, put them all on the desktop for easy access, then run the USPL according to the instructions. You MUST have Active Sync installed, running and sync'd with your phone (plus its a great idea t have all your contacts backed up with Outlook). Once the USPL program has completed its process and the phone has restarted, you can then load any ROM you want. Simply plug in your phone via USB to your computer, then run the Rom Upgrade Utility that installs on your desktop when you download the ROM. It will show a progress bar, once you make it past 3 or 4 percent you know you are in the clear and the ROM will load right.

I cannot stress enough the importance of running USPL, if you dont you run an almost guaranteed risk of turning your phone into a cool looking paper weight.

If you follow these instructions, read a little in the Upgrading and the WM6 sections of this board, you will have an English phone in your hands by the time you go to bed tonight. Good luck and feel free to PM me if you need and help.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] itschase:
Oh and PS - For the data, once you have changed you ROM to English, you need to either find the settings or the CAB file for your data connection. Most of the time these can be found on your service provenders site, if not, run a search of this bard, almost anything you need - world wide - is on here somewhere.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] hmbalasim:
THANK YOU Itschcase. your responce was brilliantly quick.

I was trying since yesterday. read most of the eplanatory threads. tried not to bother you again. but I am stuck at the USPL. after fist step the screen goes black or grey and the activeSync disconnects and it remains like that. if I continue the process nothing happened if I soft reset then continue I get error 270 "image file corrupted" and the pda reboots automatically and goes back to its state. tried 10 times. reinstalled my xp after formatting the computer. tried on my other computer vista . still no change.

any ideas please :confused: :confused:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Gentlemen,

I'm thinking of converting my 5.0.1 sense rom (currently using Revolution HD) to GPE so I could always get the latest versions of Android.

So I was wondering how GPE is compared to Sense from ppl who tried both, better performance? Battery?

Will I get OTAs, or would I need to manually update?

I asked these questions because I didn't find a recent post about converted GPEs, so I was wondering if it will be worth the 25$ to get S-off to do it, plus formatting my phone! :confused:

Thanks in Advance :good:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbear6708:
I was skeptical at first too.. YES!! to everything. Sense has some good features, etc that are useful.. But I found it to be more annoying and bloated than anything. Battery life for me is better on gpe too. As a nexus guy, I upgrade to m8 for battery life from nexus 5. Gpe gets me damn close to nexus with a few extra features. You will get OTA as long as you use the GOOGL cid.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Thanks, thats great!

I'll probably convert mine soon.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burnstine:
I loved my nexus s, 4, and 5. but i love the m8 gpe even more.

Fast and slim OS, fast updates, premium hardware, best of both worlds.

Only downside for me: sense based Rom do support rSAP, gpe does not.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Tox:
I'm thinking about converting to GPE too , but i should s-off first , i can't find a free way to do that :/
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hack14u:
The ease in which to block calls in Sense keeps me there. Tried both.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You may as well be searching for the Holy Grail or Fountain of Youth; you are looking for something that doesn't exist, and wasting your time.

sunshine is the only way to s-off, pay for it and get it over with.

---------- Post added at 09:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

If you do the full conversion (s-off, change CID/MID, and RUU) to GPE, than yes you should get official OTAs.

This, and the changed partition scheme are the main reasons for doing a "full conversion" versus just flashing a GPE ROM.

GPE partitioning means you get more internal (user accessible storage) since the system (ROM) partition is much smaller on GPE versus Sense. But it also means, if you want to switch back, you need to "convert" back to Sense (usually by flashing Sense firmware and RUU).

If you want to try the GPE ROM before doing the "full conversion" you can just flash a GPE ROM and see if you like it. But in this case, you won't have the GPE partitioning, or OTA updates.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avatarzx:
I have not been able to get S Off yet, but I am happy with the various Roms available for GPE/ASOP/Whatever.

S Off seems to require rolling back to stock, and I have no idea how to do that now that I am on GPE :(

I am currently using Validus. It is fast and good, but it does crash about once a day.

But that my be my apps and/or exposed or whatever.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
I did a full conversion (s-off, changed CID, Kept my MID "0P6B10000" because the XDA thread mentioned its supported, RUU, etc) I had to pay for Sunshine, but honestly its worth it, seamless effort to get S-off :good:

I'm loving it, super fast, and more free memory, but most of all I cant wait to get quick updates :)

I did the pre-rooted RUU, and flashed TWRP, would that affect OTAs? do I need to flash stock recovery before OTA?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Crashing once a day does not sound stable! I reckon you should try another ROM, I've used Xposed on lollipop without any issues (on both stock Sense and stock GPE).

install Sunshine to get S-off, before billing you the app does a thorough check on your phone to see if S-off can be done (on my check it mentioned I need to uninstall Xposed first).

Because your phone is S-On I reckon you haven't fully converted to GPE, to roll back to sense I believe all you need is flash a sense rom after wiping all data (read instructions carefully) or get a sense RUU to get back to your original state (wipes everything).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Root should be okay for OTA. But you will need the stock recovery to OTA.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
I thought so, can you help me with stock recovery?

when I did the conversion (before flashing TWRP) I couldn't access Recovery, all it gave me was a dead looking Droid with an Exclamation Mark:confused:. I tried searching online but couldn't find a stock recovery for GPE Android 5.1 Build # LM47O.H6

I know I could have extracted it from RUU zip but it will be the same Recovery that didnt function, know where I can find one?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umbrokhan:
Stock recovery

What is stock recovery why do we need it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Its the recovery that comes with your phone, not third party (advanced) like Philz or TWRP, etc.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mraacidd:
yes...there are free methods to do it....browse n u will find it...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
To do what ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mraacidd:
s-off....when I did mine...i did it the free way following tutorials from xda....thankx to dev who were willing to share their knowledge....I did everything doin the free way....cuz I prefer to learn n get the knowledge.......correct me if I m wrong....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
The free way was firewater but that's not online anymore. Only sunshine is the cheapest and easiest way to s-off now (from the same developers as firewater). No other methods available (at least not for the masses)

We won't learn how to do it from them, they have years and years of experience by testing and trying. They won't just put the info on how to do it online anywhere. And they shouldn't after all the time and bricked devices !
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mraacidd:
I did not use firewater....I remember using the all-in-one-toolkit the first time...n the second time....i really forgot....sorry...but i do remember having to connect to htc the second time after i relocked my bootloader....sorry for my lapse in memory....I m not that young....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
If firewater was incorporated into the toolkit you probably used that. There was no other free option beside firewater. Unlocking the bootloader is something completely different to s-off !

S-off is done once and you never lose it, unless you make the phone s-on yourself again. So you never have to do it a second time. I think you are mixing some memories up

Unlocking the bootloader is done via the HTC dev site indeed and s-off these days only via sunshine.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umbrokhan:
s-off, unlock boot loader and what you lose if you convert to GPE

does sunshine app unlock the boot loader and s-off at the same time?

if I convert to Google play edition will i lose IR blaster and lose HTC camera effects like slow motion and snow and rose's falling down?

will i lose recording video in 60fps and 120fps?

what else you lose if you convert to google play edition?

will Google play edition convert work with UK England radio like 3G and 4G LTE networks?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mraacidd:
I think so...since it has been quite awhile.....thanks for clarifying.......it helps....
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Are you on Lollipop? If so, you may be able to temp root, then s-ff by sunshine and unlock the bootloader. But I don't think everyone who tries this is successful. If not, you need to unlock the bootloader to root, before you can s-off by sunshine.

If you want, you can just try a GPE based custom ROM (not "fully convert" to GPE) after unlocking the bootloader and installing custom recovery TWRP.

Then, if you don't like losing the Sense features, you can always go back to Sense. Make a TWRP backup ("nandroid") of your stock Sense ROM before flashing any custom ROMs, to make it easy to revert.

Try finding out what 3G and 4G bands your carrier uses; and checking against the specs of the GPE version.

Keep in mind, changing the band support only applies to a GPE "full conversion". If you just flash a GPE ROM as I suggested, it does

not

change the band support of your phone.

For google play to work it needs some other apps that are hidden. The best would be to flash gapps package for your phone. This will require root. But just so you know, Google Play and all other dependecies (apps that google play needs to work) MUST be installed on the /system partition to work. This also requires root making the only way of proprely installing Google Play possible only with root (or a just a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP)

Imei is the least of your problems, you can brick your device making it completely useless. But that is VERY unlikely with the Framaroot. Cant you just write down your imei number on a peace of paper? To get the number you dial *#06*

Anyways I have rooted many devices and never got a hard brick. I had a soft-brick countless times but I know how to fix it.

Keep in mind that rooting will void your warranty but it shouldn't break anything (in most cases).

Make sure you installed the latest version (1.9.2) and that you tried all the exploits (all the buttons below)

If you have tried it I recommend using iRoot (previously known as vRoot) or if that fails try Kingo Root.

Make sure you have installed ADB Drivers and Google's USB Drivers installed. Here's a 15 second installer.

Hey guys!

I got the M8 HK edition with 4.4.4 onboard. I found the guide on Russian forum which resembles guides posted here - flash to 4.4.2 deoxid (I used

InsertCoin 3.0.4

), then run SIM unlock helper ect.

Looks like the unlock did work because when I inserted SIM card, the "SIM info" popped up. But still I'm unable to switch to WCDMA mode or GSM/UMTS and no connection to carrier network . If I do that from settings>mobile data the phone says "no SIM found . Switching to CDMA". If from other menu (dial *#*#4636#*#*), also no luck, and it says "radio turned off" (something like that).

As you've already guessed, the situation is weird - I can see SIM services, and at the same time get "no SIM found. Switching to cdma" message and can't make the phone hook up to carrier network.

Bootloader unlocked /rooted

S-ON

HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

Please let me know how to solve the above problem. Or any suggestions - flash older kitkat or switch to lollipop ect.
