[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyzzyx666:
Hey guys,

First off, any help here would be more than appreciated as I am at my wits' end.

So, i shall try and inform you guys as much as I can and hope it suffices. My M8 seems to be stuck in a bootloop. I can get to the bootloader (hboot & fastboot) and that's about it. I tried to flash a new recovery and kernel through fastboot but that doesn't seem to help either. My phone has been unlocked a long time ago but never had any problems until this suddenly happened.

Here is my oem info:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.16.0.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.15.2133156.UA03_2G

(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) version-microp: None

(bootloader) version-main: 1.12.114.18

(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON

(bootloader) serialno: *********

(bootloader) imei: ***************

(bootloader) imei2: Not Support

(bootloader) meid: 00000000000000

(bootloader) product: m8_ul

(bootloader) platform: hTCBmsm8974

(bootloader) modelid: 0P6B10000

(bootloader) cidnum: T-MOB003

(bootloader) battery-status: good

(bootloader) battery-voltage: 0mV

(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic

(bootloader) security: on

(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT

(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: 0a41237a

(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11

(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0

PS- It is also interesting to note that when my phone is stuck on the white HTC screen, i can hear message notifications and such implying that the phone is still running ( I even mirrored my phone to the pc using USB and I can see my home screen on my laptop but just the HTC screen on the phone.

Thanks a ton in advance
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Were you trying to flash anything (such as a custom ROM) to make this happen? If not, why would changing the recovery make a difference? If yes, what did you flash?

Phone was on stock or custom ROM when this started to happen?

Do you have a nandroid backup you can restore?

Also, newer versions of TWRP won't work with your (ancient) hboot, so depending on what TWRP build you flashed, you can just be adding to the problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyzzyx666:
No, I wasn't trying to flash anything which is what baffles me more. My phone just froze all of a sudden and I had to use Power+Volume Up to reboot and it hasn't been starting up ever since.

I'm current;y running a custom ROM (skydragon if I remember well).

The last significant change I remember making was giving the "Clean Master" app accessibility permissions through the settings. Idk why it didn't just ask me to do it through SuperUser there.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
As I asked before:

Do you have a nandroid backup you can restore?

If so, try to restore that backup.

Otherwise, try to re-flash the custom ROM.

What version TWRP are you currently on?

I captured the URL for today's OTA update on the T-Mobile Alcatel 9006w via logcat

wget -O 9006W-2ATBUS1-ota-update.zip http://g2slave-us-east-01.tctmobile.com/19d1572684cd9a2cfee8b0389e135120c36553fe/f74753b81536196fc732138ea00da035c00b8280/105022/69647

I want to use this and a system dump to create a stock rooted .zip, and possibly a separate firmware update.

I am pretty sure I can handle getting /system into a flashable .zip, but I have no idea where to start with a flashable firmware update. I have no clue where to start in order to make sure we don't break fastboot and/or TWRP.

Does anyone have any experience pulling the good stuff out of an OTA?
[General Questions and Answers] aclegg2011:
We should first get a flashable stock .zip. Then a flashable update .zip. We can always make a flashable firmware .zip later.

[General Questions and Answers] aclegg2011:
Ill know in a couple minutes here. You'll need to flash back to stock before doing the update.zip though. You can do the update through twrp np. Keep your fingers crossed.

Nah, just did..

Fastboot -I 0x1bbb flash recovery stock_recovery.img

Fastboot -I 0x1bbb flash system stock-system.img

Reboot to stock, accept the update and download. Install. Reboot to stock recovery. Boot into bootloader. Flash twrp. Itll ask to root and youll be good to go.

[General Questions and Answers] tone602:
When I tried that I downloaded update then hit install. It just reboots to bootloader and not the system. Did yours hang where you have to hold the up and power button to reboot?
[General Questions and Answers] aclegg2011:
No. You have to reflash the stock recovery else the update won't start. Or it'll go to twrp and do nothing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] azrael888:
I feel like there should be a thread that is general for all devices that describes build.prop files necessary to trick google play into thinking that you have a device that IS compatible with the app that you are trying to download.

I know that there are countless threads and blogs with the info on what is necessary TO change:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1948558

http://www.littlegreenrobot.co.uk/tutorials/edit-build-prop-for-extra-compatibility/

just to name a couple.

But they don't tell you what to change it to!

They say edit this field, but with what!?

I come to you out of sheer frustration as I want to install the latest ESPN FF apk on google play but the option to install isn't there as the application is "incompatible with my device." (I even went so far as to download the apk from apkpure.com and it apparently has a problem parsing the package for installation)

If I have 4.4.2 on my note 2 it'll work great, but I don't like 4.4.2 so I went back to 4.3 and I told my phone (in the build.prop) that it is now a 5.0.2 samsung galaxy S6+ (see attached image for confirmation)

Yet here I sit, still not compatible.

I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Am I missing one field? Can any of you please show me the way?

I also tried the market helper app as well:

http://codekiem.com/2013/02/13/market-helper/

It too did not work.

Thanks.

Hello.

Is it any emulator/test tool available there you can test ROMS and other application on your computer before uploading them into the phone?

I don’t want to risk my phone to be unusable because of bad ROMS or applications..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tonio94:
Windows mobile SDK is a virtual PPC where you can install all your apps in order to test theim but I didn't succeeded in upgrading the ROM. If anybody has a solution...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TomTikTuk:
The SDK emulator won't allow you to "flash" a rom, because that is device specific. You can test your apps in the emulator and see if they feet your need before installing them on your phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asl9622:
Hey ladies and gentleman,

I just bought a Nexus 6 and really wanted to take Android M for a spin. I downloaded the most recent Preview build and installed all the drivers and adb programs. I tried running the windows batch program and get the error archive does not contain boot.sig.. I did some research and tried manually running the fast boot commands and received the error cannot load. I have moved the .img files in the adb tools directly. I have even tried using wugs toolkit with the same error. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoneWolfSK:
Wait a couple more days because the M is still experimental. Stay put for a proper build or check out the Youtube tutorials, maybe you will have better luck
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you cant use the flash-all acript on it, you need to unzip it and flash each part separately.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you cant use adb to flash a factory image, you can only use fastboot while you are in the bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asl9622:

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ihateboostphones:
Maybe you shouldn't make assumptions about the level of expertise of random people on the internet. Copy+Paste of those build.prop lines = dead phone. That means that the properties written are wrong. Plain and simple.

No worries though, the fix is really simple now! All I have to do is rip out the logic board, throw it in the trash, and put a new one in! Couldn't be simpler! /s

There is no possible way that you added all of those build.prop tweaks and still ended up with a working phone on the Boost rom. ADB pull your build.prop list and post it here, or it didn't happen.

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] ihateboostphones:
I ended up ditching my carrier and (hopefully) permanently staying away from hardware manufacturers that lock their bootloaders. Maybe this was for the better. I can't stand behind a hardware manufacturer that makes it impossible to flash a custom recovery. If I can't reinstall the stock rom image from recovery, what good is the recovery? Exactly half of the reason my old phone is now a paperweight is because of stupid decisions made at a corporate LG office, and the entirety of the reason for taking drastic action to modify my phone in the first place was because it never worked correctly from the moment I unboxed it. I've taken my money and gone elsewhere.

Hey everybody, I have literally spent all day on this computer looking for a way to flash Cyanogenmod. I am currently running version 5.0.1 which I do not like at all. Having slow email problems and occational black screens right after this last update.

I do not know much about the process but I did successfully flash CM on one of my older phones a couple years back.

My google searches might come back with a couple rooting guides but then most end up being for older versions. Or maybe not for my particular model #. I have tried KingoRoot and Towelroot today, but both froze somewhere during the process. Luckily it wasn't far enough into the rooting process to do any damage. I tried OneClickRoot and paid for it,(mistake), but then was told it had to be done remotely by them. Not very fond of that idea. I even was in chat with their support and thought we were ready to start, but he asked if I could come back 2 hours later because all their techs were in scheduled roots.

I just want to find a quick easy and safe way to root this model and version of lollipop, myself, which isn't easy to find. I'm sure I can handle finding and flashing Cyanogenmod myself.

Can anybody help point me in the right direction?

Thx. Jerry

I have the Verizon model of the S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V) I want to know if it's possible to flash it with the t-mobile rom??

I currently have a T-mobile MicroSIM that i put into the verizon phone. I had to configure it with the t-mobile APN to get calls/text to work. Currently I have a few issues:

1) I can make & receive calls, send & receive texts, but CANNOT send mms, but i can recieve mms sent to me. (I tried to see if enabling wifi would make a difference but it doesn't)

2) I get an annoying message anytime the phone reboots that says I'm not using a verizon wireless SIM. (if anyone knows how to get rid of that, great. if not it's not such big of a deal)

3) How to remove the Verizion boot loading screen??

Do I run the risk of bricking or tripping knox if i try to use a t-mobile rom on a verizion phone? Or does anyone know how to resolve any of the issues i'm having? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. (and No, just getting the t-mobile version of phone is not an option for me)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dvanzutphenkann:
You cannot rom that phone because Verizon nazis lock all bootloaders on all their devices. As for the sending mms you'll probably need to take it to a t-mobile store and have them sim unlock and flash their full apn. That should do it but I can't say for sure since I've never used a Verizon phone on t-mobile
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eviljester1:
So just to update: The issue with not being able to send mms messages is because of the Message+ app that was set as default messaging app (factory reset setting). When I changed the messaging app to the "Messages" Samsung app I'm able to send&receive mms with no issues. (Please note the proper APN settings must be set)

The other issues such as the loading screen and the SIM notification I'm not too worked about, but if you have any help on those that should be great.

The only *real* issues with using t-mobile sum card with vzw phone is that the service isn't all that great, I seem to have 3g in some areas where I can't send mms while on the phone, but other than that it works well on an unlocked phone.
