[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khaira:
After Update bootloop ... please help!

Hello everyone!

So im trying to fix this HTC One M8 since yesterday. My gf tried to install the latest update, after she did the phone went into bootloop.

It was rooted, TWRP recovery installed.

Now i tried yesterday to get i back to stock, but strangely nothing seems to work. I downloaded a couple of ruu ZIP files, none of them worked. Only thing worked was the cyanogenmod but well... she wants her phone back to stock

Every Stock-image i could find was for 4.16.401.10, but the phone says its 4.16.401.13.

Please help me! What exactly must i do in order to get i back to stock?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
In addition to stock 4.16.401.13 ROM, you will also need

stock recovery

. Since TWRP is on the phone, OTA will cause the phone to boot over and over looking for stock recovery (and not finding it).

Unless the RUU zip is 4.16.401.13, its going to fail CID or version checks.

You can get .13 stock nandroid and recovery here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Note this is a

nandroid

, and

not

a flashable ROM zip. So restore according to the instruction given in the same thread.

Did you try with the phone in fastboot mode?

Any response if you type the command: fastboot devices

Response should be the phone's serial number if you have fastboot connectivity.

What Windows version?

Also, as previously stated, unless the RUU is 4.16.401.13, it will fail anyway.

Its actually a bit hard to find, as its in Q&A. Deserves to be made sticky.
[General Topics] HDxDaniel:
This is the tutorial:

0 - Download a file explorer and grant superuser permission (I personally use ES FILE EXPLORER).

1 - Locate this folder: /data/data/com.whatsapp/shared_prefs/

2 - Open the file "com.whatsapp_preferences.xml".

+ Mod image quality (jpg compression level ?)

Look for this line: <int name="image_quality" value="80" />

Change its value (80 by default) to whatever you want (a number between 1 to 99, you shouldn't use 0 or 100 I think).

RECOMMENDED VALUE: 90

Info: at 99 your photos won't have any compression (best quality), but the file size will be MUCH bigger (very close to the original size)

+ Mod image resolution

Look for this line: <int name="image_max_edge" value="1600" />

Change 1600 to the value you want, for example 3200 or 6400 (or bigger).

Info: I think this changes the maximum width allowed for an image. By default, if you want to send a 4K photo (for example) the sent image will be downsized to 1600px. Therefore if you want to send bigger photos change 1600 to 6400 or whatever.

++++

Results (try it by yourself too :D and tell me):

Here is a 3500x3500 photo, the original file: http://s1.postimg.org/o5rwefjm7/Screenshot_2015_09_16_16_36_20.png

And this is the sent image: http://s27.postimg.org/84yk2ooxv/Screenshot_2015_09_16_16_36_45.png

As you see it keeps the same resolution, you can also increase the quality to 99 to send photos with almost no compression, so the sent image and the original are almost the same, but I don't recommend that value because it takes longer to upload (if you have bad internet like me you won't want to increase the quality to 99), so you should try 90 (which I think is the best quality/compression level).

[General Topics] dattafilthyd:
This is a nice tutorial. But will not work.

As the new version of whatsapp re-writes the file with original values on start.

So, to solve this, kill whatsapp. Now from any root file explorer, change the permission - remove the write privileges for all (440).

Then open whatsapp. Now the mod is applied only for that session of the app.

Also you might need to change the max image size. <int name="image_max_kbytes"value="8128"/> (I've put it as 8mb)

(PS Extra info-But you' think won't it make all the settings fixed and any setting change from within the app won't reflect. Don't worry whatsapp automatically changes the permission with write privileges (660)). Hence can't have the mod be permanent.

So Cheers.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
Hi,

Not wanting to start a flame war.....

Has anybody got both the Snap dragon & the Exynos Note 4.

I recently got the Exynos & was thinking do I need the SD version. Was about to sell the SD but really not sure if that's a good idea. Should I keep both, Do I need both?

Does anyone else have both versions?

Thoughts?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DTS_ManiaC:
Normally, snapdragon variants has more development. But this time it seems like exynos has more development than SD. Both are good. So if you are a flashaholic, just visit the both exynos and SD development pages and make your choice. Personally, i have exynos one and i'm really pleased with it..
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
Thanks for that.

I did root n flash the SD version but really didn't find it a revelation.

I have now sold on the SD version.

I hunted down the Exynos version for the Wolfson dac. So happy for now with the Note 4 on 5.1.1.

Maybe the Note 5 next.......
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DTS_ManiaC:
Many Note 5 roms are coming, so you may not need to buy note 5 after all :) And also, 5.1.1 update improved n4 a lot, it's much faster and battery efficient now..

My quote is from Z3 Compact subforum. I edited build.prop file so that I have customization number of CE1 and made my own .ftf file using "PC Companion + Flashtool" method (from here) but the .ftf file came with no possibility to erase /data /cache and applog using flashtool. I had to do this with recovery. That's why I wrote about the .ftf file that it's incomplete and I won't post it. I don't know how to make it complete, my knowledge is too little.
[Xperia Z3 General] oSandmaNo:
I maybe wrong but isn't wiping data and cache supposed to be a flashtool feature? and not dependent on the FTF.
[Xperia Z3 General] romcio47:
That's what I thought... My mistake - in "wipe" section there is no "cache" and "data" but there is "appslog". Strange, but in exclude section there IS "cache". So only there's no way to clear /data partition using my .ftf file maybe because the PC Companion showed that no data will be wiped during the update (I was fake-moving from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1) and downloaded encrypted files with no /data partition wiping file?

Lagging / Tearing

I am experiencing serious display lagging / tearing when scrolling, either in launcher when scrolling to the side, or in Chrome when scrolling down. Tearing appears prominently in lower left corner. Z3 D6603 .200 customized GEL

---------- Post added at 11:43 ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 ----------

Hopefully NOT. If it would be just UI, then OK, but Concept is whole new system architecture, with dm-verity secured boot, which makes this firmware UNROOTABLE without custom kernel on UNLOCKED bootloader.

And no, .200 firmware contains nothing of Concept.

---------- Post added at 11:44 ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 ----------

Yes, unless you flash your phone manually, the updates available are dependent on your phone's customization (eg. region + carrier).

---------- Post added at 11:47 ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 ----------

Yes, thats a sad true about many XDA users, they just flash whatever they found, without even bothering to do a little homework, and research. PTCRB certification is just administrative confirmation that the device complies with networking standards of PTCRB members:

Citation from Wikipedia: "By obtaining PTCRB Certification on a mobile device, it ensures compliance with cellular network standards within the PTCRB Operators' networks. Consequently, PTCRB Operators may block devices from their network, if they are not PTCRB certified." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTCRB

---------- Post added at 11:48 ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 ----------

So stop crying and flash KitKat back, there is nothing that prevents you to do so. Or try one of the sound MODS for Lollipop.

This needs to change.
