Try flashing the stock firmware, as long as you use the correct firmware it will let you even though it is locked. What firmware is your phone using? Usually fastboot getvar all can show you more info about the phone.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alehawk:
Hi, this is what I thought but the thing is that I tryed 15 diferent firmwares and no one was succesful, all has problems erasing system. Maybe non of them are the one that came with the device but here in my country we got 3 companies, non of they worked.

Also if I flash recovery it says succesful but I cant boot into recovery, if I select recovery it stays on logo. I also tryed the unbrick thing with the files of the carrier rom and nothing happened, look like the bootloader its the same :/

Thanks

Edit: TWRP restore saved my phone

BTW it would be good to know how to apply this bloody update. I've stock rom so no sure why it bricked my phone
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m112:
I've tried running the update once again but it completely bricked my phone.

I cannot get to the hboot I'm getting black screen only

Edit found a fix buy pressing up for 10 sec and then down without releasing power

Any help would be appreciated
[LG G Watch R] galshahaf:
hey!

my watch tries to install the new 1.1.3 update, but once the device reboot it goes to twrp and it won't install anything.

is there any way of installing it? or does the only option is to flash the original recovery and then update?

thanks!:)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Hi there,

today I installed the latest OTA from HTC that is supposed to fix the StageFright security issue. (I have a Vodafone branded M8, the update was from version 4.19.161.2 to 4.19.161.3.) The update ran just fine. The phone boots normally into Android and is usable just fine. After the update, I restored TWRP recovery using fastboot. And now the problems begin: I can no longer enter TWRP!?

In the HBOOT, I select "RECOVERY", it says "Entering Recovery..." for half a second, then I am back in FASTBOOT. What the hell?

I tried TWRP versions 2.8.4.0, 2.8.5.0 and 2.8.7.0. None works (2.8.4.0 and 2.8.5.0 worked just fine before). I installed the original recovery from the HTC OTA ZIP and can boot into that just fine.

I cannot imagine that I am doing anything wrong. Has HTC somehow locked something related to recoveries with the latest update?

I am S-OFF, so could probably flash anything I want back to the previous state. Probably the HBOOT image would be the first thing to try?

The versions displayed in HBOOT are:

M8_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

RADIO-1.25.214500021.06G

OenDSP-v48.2.2-00564-M8974_F0.1211

OS-4.19.161.3

eMMC-boot 2048 MB

Aug 4 2015, 21:56:12.0

Any advice? Can the TWRP recovery be fixed?

Cheers,

Tim
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Try 2.8.1.0. If that works, then some of your other firmware isn't up to date.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiperhack:
I had the same situation after the last update.

On my side, after the update, the phone remained at boot screen (4.16.401.10 s-off).

I tried to enter recovery and the story was the same entering...... bootloader.

I did a ruu.exe and then install the OTA and then tried to put twrp 2.8.7.0 again........ same story with the bootloader.

Your suggestion to put twrp 2.8.1.0 works indeed. only 2.8.7.0 don't boot.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Thanks a lot for the quick reply! I confirm that 2.8.1.0 works fine, so I can go on and make my phone usable again (deactivate HTC tell, root, ...).

On the previous HTC Stock software both TWRP 2.8.4.0 and 2.8.5.0 worked flawlessly (didn't try any newer versions). After the update, the newer TWRP versions no longer work. As whiperjack has the same problem, HTC must have changed something that breaks the newer versions of TWRP. I hope you can look into it and fix it ...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Well, it really doesn't make any sense. It seems like it's HTC that's gone backwards with their firmware updates if the newer versions no longer work - the one that works for you uses KitKat kernel source, while all the newer versions use Lollipop. So I'm not sure what, if anything I should be doing about it. I'm on Sprint and updated via RUU and TWRP 2.8.7.0 works fine for me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Hmmm, strange indeed. But as I am not the only one experiencing this issue, HTC must have made a relevant change.

Can I help with any information? For example additional version numbers to the ones I already quoted? Or some logfile or something?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
I'm not going to be able to do anything about this anytime soon, so I don't need anything from you.

If you want to use the latest TWRP, trying using Android Image Kitchen to replace the zImage (kernel) and dtb with the one from 2.8.1.0 and maybe that'll work for you if you need it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Hmmm, too bad. But I am sure it will affect lots of people (not just the two of us who spoke up here). Let me know if you change your mind and I can send you any further info ...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
It's not a matter of changing my mind - it's a matter of having real life to deal with . . .

Like I said, it's not affecting me on Sprint.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Fair enough! We appreciate your efforts, no need to explain or justify.

I just tried modifying the twrp-2.8.7.0 image using Android Image Kitchen as you suggested. I unpacked both the 2.8.1.0 and 2.8.7.0 versions and replaced the dtb and zimage files in the 2.8.7.0 version with those from 2.8.1.0. Repacked and installed it via fastboot. Unfortunately, it does not boot. The problem is the same as with the original 2.8.7.0: after a split second I land back in fastboot. Any further ideas?

It's sad to be stuck on the old recovery version, not getting bugfixes and new features. Actually, if I had known I would have not gone through with the HTC OTA, I was thinking about switching to CM12.1 anyway.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huigie:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primus_pilus:
Can I restore backup made with TWRP 2.8.7.0 through TWRP 2.8.1.0?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim_h:
Good question. I don't know. Is it possible?

Another question: I think I want to revert the firmware changes introduced with this OTA so that I can again use the newest recoveries and then actually switch to CM12.1. I am S-OFF and have all the previous OTA zips for my CID available. Would the following be the right way to go?

-) take the previous OTA zip

-) extract the firmware.zip from inside the OTA zip

-) put the firmware.zip on the external SD with the name 0P6BIMG.zip

-) switch phone off

-) boot into bootloader with power on and volume down

As the CID matches, this should reinstall the older firmware versions, right? I looked inside the newest firmware.zip. The only thing that is in there but not the previous version is the file tz.img. Is that part relevant? If so, I probably need to go back to the last OTA that had a tz.img inside and then consecutively flash all following ones except of course the current one. Then I should have the exact state that I had before installing the StageFright OTA. Right?

I'd appreciate very much if someone could comment on this.

Cheers,

Tim
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] chavist:
Good morning,

Really considering upgrading to the Note 5 from the Note 4 but wondering if anyone is really missing the IR sensor that was taken out. I'm on JOD so I can test drive and return if i don't like it. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] baltrick293:
I used the ir blaster every once in awhile. I honestly don't even notice it's missing. I upgraded from the note 4 and I couldn't be any happier. I was worried because of the missing features and smaller battery but I haven't had any issues with those at all. I've owned every note and every galaxy so phone and this is by far my favorite so far
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] NotATreoFan:
I barely used my IR blaster on the HTC M8, and my Galaxy S5 isn't even setup for it. It was a novel idea, but since I can't control FiOS through it, I moved on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Cicatrize:
I don't miss it at all. It was a nice novelty feature that I used a lot at first on the Note4, but eventually stopped and went back to my universal remote.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] avengethis1:
i was a little hurt finding out that it didnt have the IR blaster like the note 4. I had a note 4 then went to the nexus 6 now to the note 5. not really missing it at all.just have to look for my remote a little more than before. The phone is nice enough as is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Elysian893:
I've had IR blasters on previous phones and tablets, and never really used them. It was an interesting gimmick for a few weeks, then it became more of an annoyance than anything (especially on my Moto Xyboard, the software on that was awful).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Sess:
IR blaster was cool for trolling on public televisions, thats about the only use it got on all the devices I had once or twice in the life of each device. Peel wasn't even very good imo.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sniglet:
I migrated to WM6 awhile back and found two oddities:

1. after a few days, the phone would lose connection with Cingular...going into and out of Airplane mode would not get it to reconnect, only a reset would get it back

2. The network stack works unpredictably. Turn on WiFi, use it for a bit of surfing, turn it off to save battery, then when turning it on later, the phone errors out saying it cannot connect to anything (like web or email), again, a reset of the phone fixes the problem. The same thing would happen if you put the phone in standby (hit the power button). In short, Wifi would only _dependably_ work on the first connection to a base station after a reboot.

I've back flashed to the T-mobile image, but will need to find a Cingular ROM to send this thing back in for a warrantee repair.
[Verizon LG G3] leiko49:
I am looking for guidance on how to install roms for my newly rooted g3.

The various rom threads refer to 23c, 24b, etc..

In the directions on the respective rom pages, it does not address if I have do do anything about that during installation.

I have a phone that states 23c in "software version".

What do I have to do, if anything, to intall a room that incorporates software version 24b? Or if I intall a 24b rom, does the rom install everything I need?

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you're on 23C, search the Play Store for:

autorec VS985

in order to install TWRP with it. Once you reboot into recovery (I use Quick Reboot from the Play Store, with the yellow icon), then wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik and then click Install and direct it to the 24B ROM zip file you download, then tell it to flash it. After that, just reboot.

Yes, the ROM has everything you need.

Simple question

This is a very simple question, however, I have heard conflicting information. I have a TMO Note 4 that is rooted and I love to change roms constantly (going between AOSP and TW), but on occaision I go back to stock also. Now I have heard that the new 5.1.1. TMO stock version if loaded will lock your bootloader and you will loose root. I have also heard that you can restore your root, if previously rooted. Not sure what is correct and would hate to lose my root. Any answers?:confused:

Stuck on Porting with HADK (simple question)

Hello sailors,

I want to port Sailfish OS to my LG Optimus HD 4x with the official HADK, but got stuck on chapter 14.3.2: Configure mountpoint information.

I don't know how to check (neither with cyanogenmod nor with TWRP) if initrd mounts the correct /boot and /data partitions.

On CM, I've checked with the CM file manager the directory /dev/block (there is no /dev/mmc on my device), but I don't know where I can find the information I need.

Below the list what i can see in /dev/block:

directory	platform

directory	vold

loop0

loop1 (and more file-iterations until loop7)

mmcblk0

mmcblk0boot0

mmcblk0boot1

mmcblk0p1

mmcblk0p2 (and more file-iterations until mmcblk0p13)

mmcblk1

mmcblk1p1

in the platform directory, there is:

directory	sdhci-tegra.2

directory	sdhci-tegra.3

and in these directories are a few more files.

Can anyone give me a hint? I'm a newbie on porting, although I have some experience on Linux and Android. So I think it is be a simple question, just a few examples on how to solve this issue would help me a lot.

Link to HADK:

see sailfishos.org
[Sailfish General] ChrsL:
Hiya,

I'm also new to this stuff, but maybe you could look into fstab? I could not find it on my lg 4x hd either.

i tried checking /etc/fstab and mount, but could not find anything which tells which mount point to use for /boot and /data partition.

i read somewhere you can check mount points in recovery in the file recovery.fstab.

I'm at work now, so i will try to help later!
[Sailfish General] ChrsL:
Hey Sailor!

I checked in my device, but there were totally no binds to those specific mounts. But I found this:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_p880/blob/cm-10.2/fstab.x3

I think these are the ones which you have mentioned were in the platform directory right?

Keep up the porting power!
[Sailfish General] mal-:
Hi, the basic idea is to look at the device paths described in your device fstab with "ls -l /dev/something" and it should be a symbolic link to the actual device which is usually something like /dev/block/mmcblk*. Then you have to create a separate case for your device in the $ANDROID_ROOT/hybris/hybris-boot/fixup-mountpoints, you can use the other ones as an example to see how it should look like. I suggest you come to #sailfishos-porters IRC-channel on Freenode where you can get help quickly with various problems. Also a little hint, you should use cm-11.0 as a base for Sailfish OS instead of cm-10.1.
[Sailfish General] LGSailor:
Ok great, thanks a lot for your help!

I also thought about taking my question in the #sailfishos-porters IRC-channel, but I knew that that I'll be very busy in September with no time for porting, and hoped that in the meantime someone could help me.

Nevertheless, I will show up in the IRC-channel sooner or later ;)

By the way, why is CM11.0 better as a base for Sailfish OS than CM10.1.3? I thought just to follow the instructions in the HADK, but if there are no differences in porting I'll use CM11.0.

Thank you two again for your help!
[Sailfish General] mal-:
You should get a new version of HADK, it has changed a lot just a few days ago. It is now more logical for new porters. The reason why you should use either CM11 or CM12.1 is that CM10.1 ports don't currently have the possibility for camera, hardware video decoding etc and most likely won't have in the future either.
[Sailfish General] elio935:
Hi LGSailor i want to port sailfish os on my lg g3 32 gb and i want to know if there is a simple way to port sailfish on my device. I've to install a linux distro on my pc?!
[Sailfish General] LGSailor:
Yes you need a linux distro. In the HADK, it is recommended to use a ubuntu 64bit machine, but if you don't like to install ubuntu (although you can use it parallel to windows), you can also use a virtual machine like Oracles Virtual Box. The only thing you have to keep in mind is that you should have at least 4 GB RAM (the more the better), and with a virtual machine, Windows itself needs at least 1 GB RAM.

But installing ubuntu is the easiest step in porting, so you'll have to learn and read a lot. Nevertheless, the HADK is a good guide ;)

New Rom Again..!! great share! For some reason i have noticed a high number of builds changing from CM to more AOSP base.
