1) take out the battery

2) plug the phone in a PC via micro USB

3) while holding volume up, put in the battery

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaliya108:
Hi,

I have now tried for days to figure out and experiment with how to upgrade the following on my HTC One M8 (rooted & S-OFF), searching this and other forums, nearly bricking my phone:

hboot:	3.16	to latest version

TWRP:	2.7.0.2 to latest version

ROM:	4.4.2	from stock to latest Lollipop version of CyanoGenMod (or other, if better with regards to costumization and speed)

Here's my "getvar all" info:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000

I would be very grateful for a strategic overview of what to do first and if possible step-by-step and video directions ;)

Kindly,

Kaliya
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This is not a valid CID. SuperCID is 1111111

Also, you need to delete your IMEI and serial number, as those are private info that should never be posted on open forums.

What you want is pretty easy, since you are s-off. My recommendation would be to flash the appropriate Lollipop firmware zip, than flash latest TWRP by fastboot (unless the firmware zip was modified to remove stock recovery) and desired ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaliya108:
Hi Redpoint,

Thanks a lot for helping me out:)

>> My Hboot is only 3.16 and I see I need to upgrade to 3.19 to flash Lollipop /CyanoGenMod. Can I make this upgrade before the ROM? Also, what is the proper way to do it and where do I get the official version 3.19?

I have read a lot of posts on the different upgrades and tried flashing several files, but have only ended up nearly bricking my phone, as the info was unclear/faulty and the files were wrong/corrupted.

Can you tell me where to find reliable and detailed step-by-step instructions on how to do all these things with links to valid files?

Hope I'm not asking too much :)

kindly,

Kaliya
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Its not "can", its "MUST". You must upgrade your hboot before you flash CM12/12.1. Otherwise the ROM won't even flash if you don't have an updated hboot!

Do you know what your original CID was, or what carrier version of the M8 you have? Or is it unbranded?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaliya108:
Hi Redpoint,

>> I'm grateful for you helping me out with this :)

The previous CIDNUM was HTC__102

I have read about firmware upgrade here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2696282

Is that something I should do too, in order to easily perform the total upgrade I want?

Kindly,

Kaliya
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That thread is exactly what you want, and the exact thread I was going to link you to (after verifying the original CID).

Follow the link in the thread to the M8 firmware collection, go to 401 folder, and download the 4.16.401 firmware zip. Then follow the instructions in the thread on how to flash it (no need to relock bootloader since you are s-off). The zip will update all firmware, including hboot.

Firmware also installs stock recovery, so you will need to install TWRP again, and as you mentioned you will now need a updated version of TWRP (2.7 won't work with hboot 3.19). Get TWRP 2.8.7 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/

Then flash TWRP in fastboot (more instructions here). Now make a TWRP backup ("nandroid") of your present ROM, to be safe (allow you to revert if you run into problems). Backup any other personal data you want to migrate, by method of your choice (Titanium Backup, cloud services, etc.). Then load the desired CM ROM onto the phone, do default wipe in TWRP (data, cache and Dalvik) and flash the ROM and flash gapps (Google apps) package. Reboot and setup the new ROM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What I think happened: the firmware installs kernel (boot.img) which is not compatible with you old ROM. Therefore, resulting in not being able to boot into OS.

But I think you can go ahead and flash TWRP 2.8.7,and flash the ROM of your choice (CM, etc.).

The flush error the first time is totally normal, I've seen that before.

Not sure why sbl1 shows failed, but then successful. But I think sbl (which is bootloader) is fine, otherwise you wouldn't be able to access bootloader, or even turn on the screen at all, for that matter.

What does it say on the bootloader screen for hboot, radio number, and OS number (this still verify the firmware updated properly)?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaliya108:
>> Sorry, not sure if that is shown somewhere, while in recovery mode, or while in CMD/fastboot getvar all?

Kindly,

Kaliya
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Neither. Its on the white bootloader screen of the phone (the text shown near the top of the screen) such as when issuing fastboot commands or selecting recovery (but before you actually enter recovery mode).

Although some folks refer to hboot/bootloader screen as "recovery" but this is really not correct, and can be confusing to describe it here that way.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaliya108:
Succeeded!!

Hi Redpoint,

The firmware was installed properly and I succeeded installing CyanoGenMod 12.1. The only thing needing some extra attention was finding a suitable Google Play app, which I found here:

Thanks so very much for all your super help and patience - I would never had made it without :)

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Zel:
Hi all, let's get straight to the point. I'm about to buy a new phone, probably the s6, but I'm concerned about one thing: how many of you have experienced screen burn in? I know it's a common thing with amoled displays. I'm not talking about the design flaw because of which you can see a sort of rectangular outline (only visible with full brightness outside and with a white screen) on the display (I'm not entire sure of this, I've read some reports about it though and I don't think it would bother me), but I'm talking about impressed/ghost images like status bar/text/icons/etc. that appear even if you change image on the screen. Hope I was clear enough, english isn't my native tongue. Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucianus_luciferus:
i had an s2 - no burn in, s4 - no burn in, s6 - no burn in so far

so i think unless you keep the screen on for hours every single day on max brightness on the same image, it is very unlikely to get burn in.

Ive had the S1, S2, S3, S3 LTE, S4, S5 and now the S6.

I have never had burn in on any of these phones. The S4 I used daily for 2 years and still no burn in.

If you use the device normally and don't leave one thing on the display for hours on a high brightness then burn in is not a problem.

I have purchased a Ulak lumenair in white and blue, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00...ak+s6+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51XLEQEnv6L&ref=plSrch the case is nicer than I thought it would be. The case has a clear plastic back with white plastic rim and a blue silicone bumper which is inside the hard case. The case feels solid and the button covers work excellent, they are very easy to press and the response is perfect. The silver surrounding the camera on the back of the case has a small sliding door to cover the flash. This is so you can use the flash notification to light up the case which looks cool especially at night. The case feels Really nice in hand and nice and smooth also the clear back doesn't have the horrible rainbow or oil effect that other clear cases cause on my S6. The packaging the case arrived in is also better than I thought it would be, professional and well made. I would recommend this case highly and I do not work for the company just my opinion any questions please feel free to ask.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabripo93:
Coming from Z3 to G4 from 3 weeks

Z3 with international firmware:

- Screen is less bright (less nits) than Z3 and it is difficult to read text under sunlight

- Audio is louder than dual channel in Z3

- Battery is very weak, it is the phone that lasts me less than other I had (Z3 and Note 4 were beasts in battery life)

- Camera is very very good, much better than Z3 BUT photos are oversharpened and there's not a good timeshift or timelapse

- Ergonomy is very good, Z3 was more little to handle but G4 wins

- Smoothness is better in G4 than Z3 but both are slower than other phones I tried (1+1, Nexus 5, Xiaomi Mi4, HTC M8 (the best))

Change from Z3 to G4 if you would take better photos and listen to music in the bathroom (where sound power is the best feature you need).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cajunflavoredbob:
I used the Z3 (D6603) previously. "Is it worth it" is a bit subjective, but here's my two cents anyway.

I much prefer the look and feel of the Z3 to the G4. The Z3 is a very attractive device, and the build feels very solid in your hands. The G4 feels like any other plastic device you've ever held. If you've played with a Samsung device prior to the GS6, then you know how the G4 feels. The leather back helps a bit, but it still doesn't make me feel like I'm holding $500 in my hand.

I like the camera, and I find that the camera is better than the Z3. There are far more options in manual mode, and the Auto mode doesn't take shots that look like they were from a 2010 flip phone, like the Z3. If you aren't using Manual Mode on the Z3, you are pretty much guaranteeing a terrible picture. The G4 offers a lot more in the way of lighting adjustments, exposure settings, and balancing options. There's also RAW support too, if you're into that.

Software wise, LG's skin is pretty ugly, and I wish they would just stop. Sony did a pretty good job of keeping things reasonable and attractive with their skin. Neither one is a lightweight skin, and there are heavy modifications to the Android framework on either side. This mostly affects root and Xposed options in regards to what works and what doesn't.

In terms of performance, I'd say the G4 is in the lead, but this isn't an apples to apples comparison, but the G4 is clearly a faster device. I prefer the thermal management on the G4 over the Z3, which heats up to uncomfortable levels when under pressure. I like that I can record more than 5 minutes of 4K video with the G4 without the camera app shutting down. I do miss the waterproofing of the Z3, and I actually brought my Z3 with me on a trip recently where I knew there would be splashing. I would have needed to keep the G4 in a plastic bag or something.

The battery life on the G4 is pathetic compared to the Z3. I was getting over 5 hours of screen time with no issues on the Z3, and I'd put it on the charger at night with 40% or so left. The G4 struggles to make it through the day with a full charge and 2-3 hours screen time. This isn't really bad battery life. It's more like average, but I was spoiled with the Z3. Having a spare battery to swap into the G4 is handy to fix this, though I'd rather that I didn't have to.

Overall, I wouldn't go so far as to say that I'm elated over the change, but it's a situation where you win some and you lose some. My opinion is "meh".
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aoi_sora9x:
I came from z3 international.

Camera is a big plus. However the battery life is really not as good as the Z3, also Z3 software is closer to stock.

G4 feels better in the hand though - so I actually like it a fair bit more than my z3.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
From dual sim Z3, worthy yes in terms of battery life and screen on time but nothing else... Lg g4 is an upgrade in everything except for the battery section.

Still I prefer having a removable battery so it works for me ?
