[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
Hello,

Should I use the method Stifilz mentioned since he stated that it may wipe the SIM unlock status.

Or to download the official RUU exe from HTC as you suggestted ?

The other option to switch to S-OFF... I couldn't pay with my PayPal because it's locked temporarely. I talked to the SunShine's Team they said there's no alternative method to pay via Credit card outside PayPal. I tried to pay on PayPal as a guest with my credit card but it says that I have to log in becase the credit card is attached to a PayPal account.

Therefore, I will try with the other available options. Since, I only need a working phone with the latest software version installed in.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
I'll have to download your zip to check it out, but how is it different? did u just modify the android-info.txt, removing eraseonflash?

just use the method Stifilz mentioned...if the official RUU exe does wipe sim status, then you'll have to start over & go back to 5.0.2, so you'll have to use that method anyways.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
OK, I have downloaded the ZIP file Stifilz has provided, I have no idea how I can flash the RUU, and I can't find the instruction he mentioned. Can you please let me know the steps to do these commands?

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.zip
fastboot reboot (when finished)
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
There are plenty of good thread that explain what ADB / fastboot are and how to use them.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2141817

---------- Post added at 06:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

From memory the zip method (via PC anyway) has never erased my phone. :)

Not sure about the zip SD Card method though.

The zip that I have linked is the standard one I.e no changes.

I need to check and test what exactly removes the unlock status..

There are many mixes results :?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
-download this zip...https://www.dropbox.com/s/zo9og024fotjhja/sdktools5.1.7z?dl=0

-create a folder on c:\ name sdktools

-extract the zip into that new folder

-open a cmd prompt in that folder (hold shift, right click folder, choose "open cmd window here"

-copy 0PJAIMG.zip into that sdktools folder

-connect phone to pc

then these are the cmds to enter in the cmd window

-adb reboot bootloader (wait for phone to reboot into bootloader mode)

-fastboot oem rebootRUU

-fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.zip

-fastboot reboot

an easier way is to just make sure the zip is named 0PJAIMG.zip, copy to root of internal storage, reboot into download mode (maybe its bootloader), and it should automatically scan & prompt u to install.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
I had done that before you replied, following the Guide stifilz provided which is partly the same as yours. Anyway, I got this error when I run the command

fastboot flash zip 0PJAIMG.zip

I think the alternative way.. trough Download mode seems to be easy.. I will test and let you know.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
I tried the other method but no luck, I copied the 0PJAIMG.zip to the internal storage, booted to Bootloader mode, selected Download mode nothing happened.. it says below the screen in yellow "SD NOT MOUNTED"
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
I thought it had to be on an external SD Card???

Which I believe you do not have :(

You may need the a different fastboot there are a few different ones out there. Sorry I did no t allow for this....
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] schmeggy929:
you are not in Bootloader if you see that. It will be a white screen with *** Software status Modified *** at the top.

Also when you are in bootloader it will automatically scan and see the zip. You just have to click Yes to apply update.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
Yep, you're right, it is external sd
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
Hello, I have bought a 4Gb SD card and I have put the 0PJAIMG.zip in it... booted on Download mode, and it started flashing but on system.img_04 it failed.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
Now the phone becomes to stuck on the HTC start screen, and also can't access TWRP.... what are my last options ?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
hold power+vol up, as soon as screen goes black, let go & hold vol down....u may have to use the RUU exe
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
I did that.

Stifilz said it gonna wipe the unlock status.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
at this point, you don't have alot of options...get back to bootloader & see if the 0PJAIMG.zip will flash...if not, you'll have to run the RUU exe

get your paypal account working so u can get s-off, then u wont have all these issues
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it. I have re-downloaded the ZIP file, I thought it might be corrupted. Then, I have formatted the SD card and put the ZIP file. Then, I tried to flash it, and this time it luckily passed the system.img_04 and it has flashed successfully my phone. The phone is working perfectly, the sim lock wasn't removed.

Now, I know that I have flashed my phone with the RUU zip which I think is a stock rooted ROM.. right? and the phone is still S-OFF.. what do you suggest... what shouldn't be done so the phone can keep working ? Can I update the software via OTA?

Can I reset the phone (the option to reset on android) will it affects ? since stifilz stated that Factory Reset can remove the unlock, he is referring to TWRP factory reset option perhaps?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
Glad to hear you got it working, ruu is not rooted, it's stock from htc. The ruu also wiped out twrp, everything is stock. You can leave it like that & you'll be able to install official otas. Or you can flash twrp & supersu for root.

So did you s-off? Also, verify what OS you have now.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
No, I didn't S-OFF the phone. I just flashed the phone like you told me to do. Android version is 5.2 Software version is 2.6.651.11

I'm satisfied now, but I think I will need to root the device, because of the Hands Free Activation that shows up every time I power on the phone.. I search about the solution and I found some but I need TWRP installed so I can remove the "htcsetupwizard.apk"

1. Boot into recovery
2. Mount system
3. Use file manager to get to system/apps and delete "htcsetupwizard.apk"
4. Unmount system
5. Wipe dalvic
6. Reboot to system

I found also some apps that can remove these apps, however they ask for a rooted phone.

Any idea on how to bypass the Hands Free Activation without rooting the phone?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
Glad it is sorted and that unlock stayed. :D

If you want to make ANY CHANGES to system you will need to install TWRP https://twrp.me/devices/htconem9.html

You won't be able to accept any OTA's as they will fail due to the system being modified.

You can cross that bridge when you get to it though.

The easiest way will be to install the RUU.zip when you want to accept the next OTA.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
You don't need root but you can use twrp. But just know you'll need to mount the system to make changes, which will change the hash of system & you will no longer be able to install otas.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
If understood correctly, I can Install TWRP now and remove the Hands Free Activation... then before update via OTA, I need to flash the RUU.zip.. Then, and again I have to install the TWRP so as to bypass the Hands Free Activation.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] stifilz:
Yup, that is the easiest way to do it :)

Without messing around restoring system images and flashing recoveries. :)

When you first boot into TWRP it will ask you if you want to change the system partition...
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] AminhoVic:
I was able to remove the Hands Free Activation by deleting both apks "htcsetupwizard.apk" and "HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk"

Thank you guys !

Recover KARBONN TITANIUM MACHFIVE

The last week I had a similar issue stuck on KARBONN logo.

I used Stock from XDA Firmware xdafirmware.com/karbonn-mach-five

Download the necessary drivers (a must)

.

The downloaded compressed file will have SP flash tool with it .

1 .Open "flash_tool.exe" under "\SP Flash Tool v5.1516" folder (with admin privileges) .

2 .Navigate to the "Download" section .

3. Click on the "Scatter-loading". Browse "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt" under "Firmware" .

4. Now this will give you a list of files to flash that comes from the "\Firmware" folder . Make sure every files load correctly to the list(location can be seen to the right of the item to be flashed) . Especially "Android" which correspond to the system.img file in the \Firmware which I think which actually solves the android system related files' problems.

5. Now Power off your phone .

'''Wait for a sec ( many people advice removing the battery for a while).

6. Now click on the Download sign in the SP flash tool window . Connect your phone with the USB cable immediately and click on the volume up or down for SP flash tool to detect your phone. If the phone gets detected SP flash tool throws some info on the left pane. Then the files will start flashing . Flashing status is provided by a yellow bar at the bottom of the window.

7. After the flash is complete a green ok popup.

8. Boot your phone to recovery and Wipe the cache partition.

9. Restart the phone.

This worked with my MACHFIVE . Wishing you luck :good:.

*Flashing always have a risk of bricking your phone. Think twice before you act . I will not take responsibility.

*Always take any errors in SP flash tool seriously and consult expert advice before continuing

*Even if you are stuck on boot if you have enabled USB debugging you can use adb pull to pull your data from memory.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockybilla007:
Sir thank you so much for replying have been waiting for weeks for the solution..

1)Downloaded the files

2)Installed drivers

3)Started flash tool and loaded scatter file

4)Clicked on download :)

5)Powered off phone and connected via usb

6)Flashing process started ;)

7)Flashing finished and green ring appeared!!!

8)Device booted after some time.

Thanks again for the solution :good::good::good:

[Google Chromecast] aaronfrickinaustin:
I searched and didn't find anything, so I'm asking now

Can I cast movies/TV shows I've synced to my iPhone 6 to my Chromecast? Or should I just buy the Apple TV?
[Google Chromecast] ritchea:
I'm sure it can be done with the correct app. Although I get the Chromecast connection with OPlayer lite (videos in mp4 as per their directions), it doesn't cast. Rocket cast (? name) won't let me access my PC or RavPower streaming device without an upgrade. It does show the two macs in the house, but I didn't try to access them. Hopefully someone who has done this will tell us which app. I have Android devices which work perfectly with all my local and web streaming, but half of the family is Apple so I'd like to know (I'm the tekky).
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
The best way to do this is through an android device as a proxy, i.e., use AirPlay to send stuff from iOS to the android proxy, which then converts and sends to chromecast. The proxy does not display anything, just as hidden bridge.
[Google Chromecast] ritchea:
OK. I was approaching this from DRM free videos which I'd already set up as mp4's, but I think you are talking iTunes' purchases for which Apple TV is the easy solution due to the Apple infrastructure. I think the Android proxy server idea may break you out of the Apple stronghold. I just want an app that will let me discover local then cast local (not local to the device but to the Wi-Fi environment) videos--if that's possible.
[Google Chromecast] huisinro:
For casting local videos from iOS to Chromecast, it should be very easy, I am surprised that you couldn't find an app on that.

The approach I am talking about is more of generic one, basically AirPlay to chromecast, we are developing such an app. It is AirPlay receiver , in the meantime also a proxy to chromecast

hy guys,

i got an ALE-L21

after an update it stucks in the boot animation first comes the huawei logo and than the "android" banner - and that is going to stay .

i already tried to factory reset and flash the available stockroms on it

but it always says "software install failed"

it is also rooted what i guess caused the problem in the first place

do you guys have any ideas what else i can try

-can enter fastbootmode

-no custom recovery

Problem Solved :

- download a rom and extract it with Huawei Update Extractor

- enter fastboot mode and flash manually boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and cust.img on your p8 lite

---- afterwards your p8lite should boot normally and if you want you can now reinstall the whole rom normally

---- download a rom

------ extract it

--------- put the 'dload' folder in the root dictionary of your (empty)sd-card

-------------shut it down

----------------press volume up and down - and than the power button til' the update starts

Hi Reyengine,

My huawei P8 lite ALE-L21 stuck at boot loop, My phone was rooted, my brother who was not aware of care about rooted phones update and hit the recent update issued by huawei. after update it is not booting anymore.

I tried the following,

Installing stock Rom through SD card but error: first attempt stuck at 90% and after force restart brought it to update over WiFi on startup. Then failed again and after that just gets stuck on logo.

Now I can not update through SD card it gives error: "software install failed" a no update file message blink before error.

Phone is not recognized in adb interface anymore.

Can you guide me in details, I am new to xda and not so good in fixing phones. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

Problem Solved

I was misunderstanding the Fastboot Screen of it at first but found some more important checks; thought let others know...First thank you for putting me on to right track.

You were right, to get into fastboot phone to be connected to PC with USB cable, I just changed the port to e-SATA and it got into "fastboot"...:) Just need to change the USB port or PC to get rid of problem of getting into fastboot.

1: I did flash by adb fastboot "Boot.img, Recovery.img, Cust.img" but System.img was giving every time error could not be done by adb fastboot. (may be size reason..!!) and did below.

2: Copied Rom "Update.app" in folder "dload" in SD card, Restarted the phone and by pressing Volume+&- on boot updated the system software...(It got error at 90% as it happened with me earlier too and saw people complaining in other forums as well.) Solution is simple..(Phone to be disconnected from PC during update through SD card..otherwise it get stuck at 90%..) I checked by force shutdown and pulling SD out and kept USB connected, it again start installation on restart but stuck again at 90%...

Updated to latest update with no problems...

Anyway, Thanks a lot for your tips which made my day...kudos..
