[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
So can I flash the 7.19.401.22 from you directly on phone B? And then update over the official server? Then Phone B is completely stock and with the newest version?

If understood the whole s-off/ s-on that you posted, I only can flash the official RUUs on Phone B with s-on?

I think after that I understood everything for now :) thank you very much!

Do you have a good source where I can read about this whole topic? I need something like an encyclopedia with explanations, that are not completely basic but easy enough for me to understand :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yes you can and btw the ruu is not from me, I have uploaded it but its an official RUU from HTC.

You can also flash the RUU on Phone A but you will need to update its firmware first since its too old to accept the 7.19.401.2 ruu

About what? flashing RUU?

Btw, you'll find instructions how to flash the ruu here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944 (see post #1)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
I meant to ask if it is correct that I can only Flash official RUUs while on S-On?

I mean something like a collection of Information about all the terms used around flashing and rooting.

At the moment I just google everything I don't understand/know, but I would like to understand it all completely. Is there something like a guide, that doesn't only say " Do this and then do that" but also explains why I should do this and what exactly I am doing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
Thanks, can I flash everything from there that has my CID? Or do I have to look out for something else?

And while I am doing this, could I switch from Sense to the Google Play Edition on Phone B?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
As long as the rom you want to flash is for a M7_UL you should be able to flash it, CID is more important when you want to flash a RUU.

Using a custom GPE rom yes its possible, using a GPE RUU no because the phone is S-ON and flashing the GPE ruu would requires to change the phone CID/MID (s-off needed)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
So could I flash this Rom, although it says its for Gsm or would I lose my ability to use lte?

(http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/development/rom-google-play-edition-lollipop-v1-00-t2963927)

Is this even the correct Rom if I want the complete stock gpe? And if flash the unrooted version would I be able to root it in a second step (Easier for me to learn the stuff, then just flashing a rooted Rom)

I think I understood it wrong... I thought the Ruu is a part of a Rom? Used to verify if it is official or not?

Do you know a collection of Information about all the terms used around flashing and rooting.

At the moment I just google everything I don't understand/know, but I would like to understand it all completely. Is there something like a guide, that doesn't only say " Do this and then do that" but also explains why I should do this and what exactly I am doing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
No you won't loose LTE, its an M7_UL rom.

This is a stock rom made from the official GPE software. If you want to do a full GPE conversion (firmware + software) you will need to flash a RUU which will require s-off to change the CID and MID since your phone (B) is not a GPE phone.

Yes, you'll be able to root after if needed using a custom recovery

A RUU is an official package from HTC, it will flash the firmware files (bootloader, recovery, kernel, touch drivers, infra-red drivers, radio etc) and the software (aka ROM / Operating System). A RUU is intended to be flashed only on the appropriate device, for example, a GPE ruu is intended to be used on a GPE phone only. How the RUU check if the phone is GPE or not is with the CID and MID. Its possible to flash a GPE RUU on a non-GPE phone but it will requires S-OFF to change the CID and MID to the correct GPE values and then flashing the GPE RUU which is called a Full conversion. By converting your phone using a RUU, you'll be able to receive ota updates and everything else like if the phone was a real GPE phone.

A Rom (custom or not) is only the OS + the kernel. When flashing a rom, only the system partition and the kernel partition are flashed, unlike a RUU. These partitions can be flashed no maters what your CID or MID are, you only need an unlocked bootloader + a custom recovery. Since flashing a rom doesn't change the firmware (only the software) your phone will not be "fully converted" like when using a RUU. The phone will keep the same firmware but will run a different OS on top of it

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
Hmm I would like to have also the ota updates of the GPE on Phone B.

Would you recommend me to turn S-off? How bad is it actually? Considering that Phone A had already S-Off without me ever noticing.

Also is it really bad to change this variables?

If I understood it correctly I could root it afterwards and still receive ota updates, just have to reroot it, right?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
S-off grants access to every partitions of the phone, its a good and a bad thing. Good because you have the freedom to do whatever you'd like to your phone like converting it to other versions, downgrading, easier to unbrick. Bad because if you don't know what you are doing you can brick the phone forever, for example, by flashing a bad bootloader. Achieving s-off on phone B will requires to use Sunshine s-off, the only working exploit for this hboot version. Unfortunetaly Sunshine license cost 25$

yes

Yes if using a RUU, no if using a rom. You need the GPE CID, and MID to receive ota updates + the firmware version must match the software version for installing ota updates. So if using a rom, you'll need to flash the updated rom when there is one available. If using the ruu, you'll receive ota updates normally.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
Ok 25$ is to much for me at the moment maybe in few months :D

Isn't there a possibility to copy the firmware with S-Off from Phone A to Phone B?

But I could flash the Rom from the link I just posted. Will it make my Phone slower if I use a Rom instead of a RUU?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
No, phone B is S-ON and will only flash official firmware or ruu signed with HTC private key.

Yes you can, no it won't make it slower.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
Okay :/

Thanks then I will do that now and hopefully don't mess it up :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hahamuntz:
Yes it is very complicated. About half a year ago, I got my M7 stuck in bootloop, when I tried to root it and it took me a day of try and error, to fix it again :D so i thought this time I better know what I am doing and due a lack of a good general guide (or maybe I am just unable to find one) I had to ask a lot.

if it was unlock, you should see a

if you power off

hold volume button down, and power on.

it should boot in to AP Fastboot mode

it will either say locked or unlocked along with other bootloader info

to exit AP Fastboot, press power button.

it will power off, then you can power on normally.

Ok, so i just got sent a refurbished note 4 and immediately i went ahead and rooted (didin't make a nandroid backup........I KNOW I KNOW! LESSON LEARNED :crying:) and installed custom rom. Problem is, my usb port decided it no longer wanted to work properly. It charges but VERY slowly and it doesn't register as a fast charger connected even though it is. My issue i'm running into now is that when i put it in download mode to try to make it completely stock through odin it doesn't recognize it at all on my pc, nor does it come up as usb storage. I know i can unroot using super su but what can i do about my bootloader, kernel and custom rom. I need it to go all the way back as close to stock as possible, i do understand that knox is tripped but i am not worried about that. Anybody have any ideas on how i can get back to stock fw without a usb connection. Just received my note 5 today and they are awaiting my note 4 in the mail. Can't send it back like this if i don't expect to pay for it. PLZ HELP ME :confused::confused::confused:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HIS YB:
Okk meaning your custom rom have problem on the usb side. So I will suggest try diffrent rom diffrent rom and see if that works , then you can rool back to stock by downloading a stock firmware and flashing it with odin. However check to see if your have enabled usb debugging that you phone will be recognised by the pc.

Without a computer you will not be able to go back to any firmware which requires odin and download mode..

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadesse:
I know a lot has been posted about the N7 2012 battery problems. There are two major issues that I have been dealing with for well over a year now.

1. It takes 8 + hours for my device to fully charge. depending on how low the battery is.

2. My device will not charge with the screen on. if I play a movie with it plugged in it will not even hold a charge. I use TomTom for GPS & this is extremely frustrating.

It has been documented that the USB port could be the cause of this. I did have the USB assembly replaced once on it back in March of 2014. Also had the mainboard replaced twice in the same time period. Those repairs were due to my device not being recognized by any computer. Even after this series of repairs my device had the same issues.

Has anyone replaced the battery because of a similar issue? I am half tempted to scrap it be Android 5.0 performance suck s for an Asus Zenpad.

Thanks

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CapWinder:
Weak Charger?

I'd recommend, to almost everyone, to pick up a "Charger Doctor" off of eBay for a few bucks. These will give you a readout of the chargers working voltage and amperage. For these tablets a charger should be putting out at least an amp (1000ma) @ 5 Volts during charge. Many chargers are overrated ( these tablets come with a 5V @ 2 amp charger) and it sounds like yours is not putting out enough juice. I seriously doubt that the USB port has anything to do with your problem. My charger doctor has identified dead and weak chargers tons of times. Some chargers I got from China were rated at 5V@600ma and put out only 100ma! No wonder my phone wasn't charging. I took a picture of the readout and they refunded my money. One of these should help you sort out your problem.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadesse:
I can definitively say that it is not an issue with the charger or the battery. I just put in a new battery a few minutes ago. My N7 is still charging @ 0.46 Amps. That charge will output 1.2 Amps when connected to me Dell Venue Pro 8. There is definitely something wrong with my N7 just like so many others. So, i will be putting it to rest in favor of an Asus Zenpad here shortly.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Maxter1:
It's sadly thinking that the problem is the phone (This doesn't happen with my other phone), I was to buy a new cable because the same issue (And its "solved").

The main problem seems to be a strict samsung charging chip mounted on the s4, that only with some cables charges at full speed (1900ma) with others thats works perfectly with other phones (Charging at full speed) doesn't charge at maximum currency (300-500ma) (I was testing with a Galaxy S4 i9500, a S5 mini g800y and a Galaxy Grand i9080).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yilun:
No, I have replaced the charging thingy. Blah blah, because I broke the port once. Also have tried different cables and they all give 1900 amp. I just pulled the 2 pins with a needle and its giving 600-1080 amps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The USB spec calls for four lines, though the mini and micro connectors have five. In most cases that fifth pin will not be used, although Garmin bridges pins 4 and 5 in their DC adapters to let the GPS know it's connected to a charger and not a PC. Based upon your description, it's unlikely the cable is the problem. I would borrow a friend's charger and connect your cable and phone to it. If it charges faster then you know your charger went south. Otherwise the issue is somewhere within the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yilun:
I have tried every cable and every adaptor in this planet, they all work well, I just wanted to use the original charger bcoz I don't want some cheap Chinese cable (I'm Chinese BTW) catching on fire and burning my house down....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
One thing to keep in mind, that I just though about, is that the S4 charger uses all four pins for charging. You want to measure all four pins and add the results. It should be close to the rated output of the charger.

In your case though, if the other adapters worked and yours didn't, the adapter is faulty.

There's been almost no benefit to using it for years, since long before ART. I think even in Gingerbread Android was smart enough to detect "stale" things in Dalvik cache, most definitely since ICS.
