[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yarden1999:
Hello im using an SGS5 and i am planning to flash the cleanROM rom to my device.

Now i was told that after i flash the rom my device will be wiped though i was thinking is it possible to first backup the device and after that flashing the rom wiping every thing and then restoring the backup (twrp backup).

Im using as i said befor the SGS5 running kitkat 4.4.2.

And it will be nice if somone can give me a link to where i can dowbload or even give me ideas for other ROMS that can make my device faster and have better battery life thank you for your help and have a great day.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] F0rZ3r0:
Huge amount of frustration with trying to deal with my phone

I soft bricked my HTC One M8 HK not too long ago, and had left it sitting in the dust for a while as I had no options of fixing it because I wiped the memory on accident (how I did, I don't know. Guess I'm dumb. That's not the point though). It's been sitting on my dresser for about 2 months being unused as I had no microSD cards in hand. All it had was an unlocked bootloader and working TWRP.

As of right now, I've tried to install 4 ROMs. All 4 did not work. I followed the instructions and unlocked my bootloader and did all other essential things. I installed ViperOneM8 before being ignorant that my WiFi wouldn't work. It was the only ROM I installed that actually booted properly. The only issue was that I had no WiFi. Had it worked, I wouldn't be making this thread. Then I got Android Revolution HD, installed it and it installed properly. I booted it into system, and it brought me to bootloader. This was the same issue I had while trying to install my first ROM, and still happens. Then I got CyanogenMod, and it didn't even install. TWRP told me it failed right off the bat. Same thing with whenever I tried to install a stock firmware recovery of the variant I have, HK Sprint.

Right now, I'm getting the 4.2.5 HK RUU in hopes that it works. I tried it previously, and it was a literal waste of time. I've been here for 5 hours trying different ROMs and to no success. I was very faithful I would get to use my phone again, although unless this RUU actually works, I don't have a lot of positive faith for my phone.

Are there any fixes for getting something like CyanogenMod to work? I actually really wanted this ROM after I remembered it, and was quite let down after it failed to work. Also, is there anything I should do with the phone before I go farther with anything?

Thanks for any help you all can give, I would greatly appreciate it. Sucks not having a phone, so I'll take any help I can get. Thanks once again!

EDIT: The RUU did not work. It failed to update. Waiting for answers I guess..
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] popthosegaskets:
Flashing RUU requires locked bootloader.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] F0rZ3r0:
Alright, I'm seriously about to just throw this thing in the dumpster. I've been here another 2 hours trying to get Cyanogen to work, and I figured out the issue with it. The updater script file wasn't accepting m8_whl. I'm still unaware how in the Mod Edit I'm supposed to put m8_whl into the script for it to be accepted.

To be more specific, the actual updater script has m8whl, while my phone recognizes as m8_whl. It denies it.

I thought I put it into the script correctly, although it is not accepting it. I found a quote not saying the location, and I assumed in the latest release of Cyanogen 12 for M8s, it was in /META-INF/google/android/updater-script

Please, someone help me before I have an anger episode. This thing has literally wasted my whole Mod Edit day.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dopy25:
Don't toss it, it's still worth something, even if not to you. But as [MENTION=4705768]popthosegaskets[/MENTION] said, you need to relock the bootloader to flash the RUU. If it's been sitting for awhile, what version of firmware and hboot was it on prior to not working? Perhaps the issue is that it's older, also try flashing the newest version of TWRP if you still want to install a custom OS.

If you want to RUU, just use the fastboot command "fastboot oem lock" while in fastboot and then run the RUU. I think it reboots after locking.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] F0rZ3r0:
Alright, doing this now. I'm a lot calmer today, so I can do this.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] F0rZ3r0:
Didn't work, the RUU gave me the same error as last time, it tells me its the wrong RUU. Got both the stock RUUs just to see if I got it wrong about HK, both failed. Please help...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
[Mod hat on] I know it can be frustrating at times but please take it easy with the swearing. :) [/Mod hat off]

You might try flashing the Full firmware that matches the RUU that you are trying to flash, the past couple updates require hboots to match on both your device and the RUU or you will get an error.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] F0rZ3r0:
My apologies for the swearing, was angry at the time.

Also, my hboot version seems to be 3.18. Not sure what to do in order to be able to flash firmware. My OS version seems to be 2.16.651.4 as well if that helps.

What would I have to do in order to install a ROM and how?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dopy25:
If you are not flashing the full firmware to begin with, that's the issue. From your OP it looks like you only have an unlocked BL and had TWRP.

You must relock the BL and then run the full RUU, you can get it in the thread here, or get it from HTC. Either way you need the full one, it flashes the FW and Software as well as bootloader and radios.

Are you S-Off or On? If you are running the *.651* then that's the non HK version. It's ok if you flashed a modified stock, but if you got that from an RUU, that would be what the issue is. I think
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] F0rZ3r0:
I believe I'm S-OFF.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
look in bootloader it will tell you if you are s-off or s-on.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] F0rZ3r0:
Never mind, S-ON.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Ok re-lock your bootloader if you have not already.

Flash this for Non HK 4.25.651.18 Full Firmware

Flash this for HK 4.25.654.18 Full Firmware

Instructions:

-rename firmware to firmware.zip

-copy firmware.zip to your sdk folder

-boot into bootloader

-plug in usb

-select fastboot option (screen should say fastboot usb)

-type fastboot oem rebootRUU

-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

-when it's done, type fastboot reboot

Once done flash the latest Non HK or HK RUU found here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

Then unlock your bootloader again using the unlock code you got from HTC.

Re-flash the latest TWRP found here... https://dl.twrp.me/m8/

This will give you a fresh start then you can try to flash the rom you want.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] F0rZ3r0:
Umm...I don't have anything called SDK :/

What do I do then?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
If you have a platform-tools you can use that or use the folder attached.

Unzip it and copy the files to a folder.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] F0rZ3r0:
Alright, I did it all, but it doesn't seem to be changing once I send over the zip. Is it meant to take a while or is there something wrong?

EDIT: 20 minutes later and still at the sending. Something probably went wrong.

EDIT 2: 30 minutes later, still sending.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Should only be a few seconds.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knowbody42:
So, there were some updates to system apps on my G4 (H815T-HKG), and I decided to integrate them into the system ROM.

One of them was Android System Webview, which a bunch of other programs depend on. But then I later discovered that the version I had integrated was causing a bunch of apps to crash (including text apps).

So then I uninstalled it and installed a version that works from here. However, it only works as a user app.

If I try to move the folder from /data/app/ to /system/app/ and change the permissions to 755 and reboot, it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs, and programs that rely on it crash.

I tried converting it to a system app with Titanium Backup too, but it just seems to get stuck and I have to manually stop Titanium Backup, then reinstall Android System Webview again.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knowbody42:
Well, I decided to mount the rooted system image on a linux machine and copy the original WebViewGoogle folder from it to the /system/app folder on my G4, and it works - although it's not an up-to-date version (43.0.2357.121), it at least means there's A version which will be there if I need to delete the user data.

You call it gouging, I call it supply and demand or capitalism.

They have every right to ask whatever they want for things they sell - more power to them if they can get someone to actually pay it.
[Nexus 6P General] Pilz:
Its not sold out so no that wouldn't work here. You can still buy it directly from google right now therefore it's not a supply/demand thing because the supply is there.
[Nexus 6P General] sfreemanoh:
Except that it's apparently not available in some countries yet. Someone in Argentina I think it was complained about not being able to get one for a while, if ever. And if it DID become available, the price would be greatly increased.

So...it sucks because they're getting price gouged even more, but at least it's available...personally, I wouldn't increase the price by more than, I dunno, $50 or so to cover my minimal time and effort? But that's just me.
[Nexus 6P General] Pilz:

[Nexus 6P General] rajendra82:
There is plenty of supply this time, because you can still buy any of the eight configuration from Google store. It is crooks trying to trap uninformed people.
[Nexus 6P General] Big Cam:
No, it's supply and demand. The supply in the US is plentiful, but it is not in other areas.

Also, for the instance of someone buying one in the US, that I'm sure you'll bring up, it is still supply and demand. The person selling is assuming they will have their pre-ordered device before a regular person will be able to pick one up in a store. So they are going to sell it to the person who really really wants it but didn't get a pre-order in early enough. If the person buying is willing to pay that high of an amount to get a phone a little early, then the demand has been created, and the seller is fulfilling that demand with their supply.

For example I pulled this off a $1,000 ebay listing.

"This pre-order item was ordered from Google early on the onsale date, and is expected arrive at my address November 4th - November 6th. I will immediately ship it upon receipt to the purchaser of this auction. In the unforeseen event of Google being unable to deliver the phone to me by November 11th, a full refund of the purchase price will be offered to the purchaser. "

That bolded part right there, would technically get to ME before my pre-order which quoted me Nov. 10-12, so the people who got in early, are banking on others wanting this thing yesterday, and they might be willing to pay.

With that said, are the people selling them for $1000 crooks, no, they have the right to do whatever they want with it, once they own it. However anyone who buys it for that price is a moron.:)
[Nexus 6P General] aygriffith:
What ever happen to opportunist capitalism?

The value of the item is worth what someone will pay for it. If they can get it, kudos to them. If not, no one will buy it from them and the eBay auction will be back to MSRP. The buyer is fronting the cost of the good in hopes they can sell it for cost + eBay fees. I see nothing wrong with asking for the moon and settling on a tidy 10 or 15 percent profit.

Why was I paying over $4 a gallon of gas just a couple of years ago when Saudi Arabia'a gas stations sold petrol for the equivalent of 50 cents a gallon? Because they can, and they did. They are a rich nation thanks to capitalism. So don't blame Americans for trying to make a few bucks on the open market from other nations. It comes full circle.

[BlackBerry Priv] ToniCipriani:
Somewhat unrelated to the Priv itself, but I figured I might get an answer here.

If I remember correctly, OHA restricts distribution of the Google Play Services and apps, as well as forking of Android, hence the gapps pack in custom ROMs. BlackBerry 10 has an Android Runtime which allows it to run APKs, from BlackBerry World, Amazon Appstore and sideloading.

Anyone familiar with the OHA rules, what might happen to the runtime on:

a. Existing BB10 devices

b. Unsold BB10 devices

c. Future BB10?

Would BlackBerry be forced to remove the runtime from all devices or would old ones be grandfathered? Or would there be some sort of deal cut with Google to allow the runtime to continue to exist?

Yeah so I was on OFE, rooted and custom romed. My phone started acting up. I took it to the Sprint store hoping the guy wouldn't notice my root, and order me a new device so I could use Samsung Pay. I know, half baked plan. Well he was able to fix it, by reflashing stock. So now I am on G920PVPU3BOI1. No root. No customer recovery. And of course, knox still tripped.

After all of this I have questions.

1. Is anyone currently testing a work around for this Samsung Pay/Knox issue?

2. Is it possible to root my phone on this firmware?

3. Customer recoveries supported?

4. What ROMs are giving you guys the best battery life? (work retail and almost never have a chance to look at my phone, but run Pandora on a Bluetooth speaker all day. Looking for over 17 hours off the charger)

Oh and if you guys could explain this in a noob-ish way, that would be great :)

Thanks for that link Elehicmo,

It is very helpful for me a (complete novice).

So to unlock a device I need to Flash HardSPL which is a modified bootloader ? (have I got these terms correct)?

If I stop after the flash Hard SPL stge will I have the same device as before, unlocked?

Few things I wasnt sure about, after reading the site:

"If your SPL version is 2.10.olipro then you ALREADY HAVE HardSPLv7. You do not need to flash it again."

How do I know if my SPL version is 2.10.olipro?

This step is not mandatory but if your radio version is "1.20.31.10" or below

How do i know if my radio version is "1.20.31.10" or below

Can you give me any suggestions as to whether Full, medium or vanilla version of Dutty WM6 v2 would work the best for me - I do not yet have memory storage but I wouldn't want to miss out on key features of WM6
