[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] iTeQ:
Hi all,

Hate to say this but I accidently also bricked my phone :( (I had PDAVIET working and then saw an update so forgot to put it back to WM5 first and then to WM6 again, now stuck in boot screen :()

The reason I post this thread is I got a small question which will be one of my last resorts to fix it.

As I can only access the bootloader I hope this will work, so here is my question. If I pay 28 euro to IMEI-CHECK.UK to get an CID unlock, am I able to install any ROM (e.g. WWE English or WWE German etc..) and also will it unlock while I only can access the bootloader or does it require a functional OS ?

Many thanks...going to continue and slap myself in the face a couple of times..

HTC PLEASE RELEASE THE FREAKIN WM6 Dutch....argh
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] sany:
you dont have to go back to WM5 each time u want to update ur ROM. Mainly you should have installed hard SPL before any install.

you can search wiki for unbricking, i am sure i saw one.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] iTeQ:
Well I found a lot of stuff for the Hermes, which reminds that I should have bought a Hermes when I had the chance and i'm now stuck with this piece of sh*t.

I even tried other roms for other devices , my only chance would be CID unlock and install a WWE or wait for a million years for HTC to come out with WM6.

Thanks for the reply though.

Cheers

for noobs :

Sure, you don't have to, but I strongly recommend this. I bricked my Herald a couple of times while flashing from PDAViets WM6. My luck, I have a RUU to unbrick.

This one is for the newbees:

If you don't have a working WM5 RUU to unbrick your Herald, you should _NOT_ mess with this stuff.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] iTeQ:
Would it be by any chance a dutch one? :) The RUU Rom.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] The Dutchman:
NO, definately NOT. I searched my ass off for the Dutch HTC ROM.. But there simply is none. The only chance for unbricking is contacts inside telecom Repair Centre or sending your device to HTC. Or of course the (way too long taking) WM6 update from HTC..
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] erictummers:
If the WM6 update from HTC arrives how will we be able to use it. My phone allways complains about the 'vender id' when I use a WWE ROM. Why would it accept a HTC ROM?

Is there still hope?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Wiemel:
hello i have a question about the WM5 RUU. can ik make it whit my one p4350 dutch???

if it can, how can i do that??
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] sany:
tell me more about this RUU and hard SPL....as I know i have hard spl....then do you advice me to have this RUU as well, pls advice
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] kennyidaho:
Well obviously the WWE RUU isn't for your phone. If you have a dutch phone you need a Dutch RUU, if you have a German phone then you need a German RUU and so on.

When HTC releases the WM6 RUU they should release one for each language.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] iTeQ:
Sended HTC an email 4 days ago, men what a **** company that is...I still haven't got a response. Is it me or is this a really bad company in supplying support....never had these problems when I had other devices (Mio A701).

Anyone got any news from them ?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] chrispazz:

I hope...

Email from HTC....i'm f*cked :(

Dear Customer,

You only can install the ROM with the original language of the device.

When you are registered at www.europe.htc.com in eClub, the site doesn't allow you to install a different ROM.

It doesn't matter if you are on the english site, your IMEI and SN number are recognised and will install a Dutch ROM if there is one available.

HTC doesn't have any ROM update for this device available yet.

If you require to re-flash your device than you need to send it in for repair.

Go to www.eurotwice.be

=> select language

=> Private user

=> Place your order

=> Select brand (HTC will be added)

=> Select Model

Type in customer information and IMEI.

Search which drop point to use and print out service paper.

Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html

Best regards,

Last day of my vacantion. What's in the upload? The new WM6 updates!

Let's try the Dutch one. Still got the Invalid Vendor Id message...

Do I have to wait for the Vodafone update?

How can I remove this Vendor Lock when I can't boot my device into WM5 or WM6?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesmagyar:
So tried downloading the 6.0 ota. after it installed it, it got stuck in a bootloop. tried doing factor reset and deleting cache and data.

nothing has worked so far.

heres the rub, i never unlocked my bootloader and i cant get into the OS to set the developer options. it seems my only solution is to RMA it. but im hoping maybe there is a hack of some sort.

heres to hoping.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodroweBones:
My N9 wouldnt allow me to even attempt to flash anything when it was locked. One of the first things I had to do was a fastboot oem unlock (which also required me to boot into the OS to toggle that developer option). When you flashed 6.0 did you use the "flash-all" script?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesmagyar:
No it was an OTA update. got the notification this morning and had it install the update. it obviously didnt take. i have not rooted my tablet or done anything like that. its actually the first device ive ever not rooted....
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesmithis:
I had the exact same problem. I installed the OTA last night, and now it sits at the boot animation for hours. I tried to wipe cache, but I got an error saying it couldn't mount the partition. I tried to sideload it, and it failed, saying it couldn't mount it. I just (reluctantly) performed a wipe and hopefully that will work, but I'm not optimistic.

Update: no luck. So I permanently deleted a lot of stuff for no reason. =/
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesmagyar:
Yeah my problem is I can't sideload because my computer doesn't recognize it . I mean this whole unlocking the boot loader from within the OS thing is the stupidest design I've ever seen.....
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesmagyar:
since i can still get into hboot and fastboot can i side load the OTA? adb isnt seeing it in recovery but it sees it in fastboot.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesmithis:
I was not able to sideload anything. I could see the device, I could start the process, but it would fail every time. I talked to HTC last night and they are going to replace it.

Weirdly, when I was talking with them, they had me try to clear the cache and it actually worked, so I'm going to try and sideload it one more time tonight and if it doesn't work, just swap it out.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegeneralfamily:
I'm caught in the boot loop as well after having downloaded the OTA... I must say, over the past couple weeks I was stuck in boot loops on several occasions, and only after a bunch of restarts would it load fully (and "update apps").

When this device works properly, I have no qualms. But it's incredibly irritating for a $600 tablet to be so shoddy...
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesmagyar:
Yeah I was able to clear the cache I was even able to format the user data the problem is is there is no OS loaded. At least with the fastboot says under os it says N/A.

HTC said they'll replace it I just have to send it in to them problem is I'm a truck driver so I'm never at home.

-Wes-
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xworld21:
I had the same problem: even after wiping the cache and formatting the user data, the tablet wouldn't boot, and fastboot said "OS: N/A". However, I went into recovery and sideloaded the OTA file with adb. The update went fine and now my Nexus 9 works again. If you are using Windows and the computer doesn't recognize the tablet you should install the appropriate drivers, I guess (look up "Google USB Driver"). I use a Mac so drivers weren't a problem for me.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesmagyar:
Will I'll be a mother effer I was able to get it to recognize my device by installing the Samsung ADB driver and from there I was able to sideload the OTA and it is now working.......

The very first thing I'm doing as soon as I actually get it start it is I am going to enable OEM unlock. Everybody who has one of these devices should do that immediately.

Thank you so much man you are awesome
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesmithis:
I tried again and it failed. Sadness. Guess I'll just have to swap it out.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegeneralfamily:
I can't figure out how have my device appear when entering "adb devices" ... when i'm in fastboot, i "fastboot devices" and it shows with the serial number. when i'm in recovery, though, "adb devices" shows nada. When I'm in TWRP after selecting "ADB Sideload", my device appears in my Device Manager under Nexus 9, but I can't update driver info to anything that seems to work.

I've got the most up to date drivers via SDK.

Any ideas how I can get my device to be recognized by my PC so that I can sideload the OS?

Thank you all.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesmagyar:
I was having the same problem I installed the Samsung ADB driver, , and all of a sudden my computer recognized my Nexus 9 in a adb mode
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesmithis:
Mine wouldn't show up until I was in recovery and actually picked the "install from adb" or whatever from the menu.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesmagyar:
yeah it doesn't actually go into adb mode until you select the sideload option. just as it doesn't go into fastboot untill you are in fastboot.

I was able to download the OTA from android authority. just made sure that the upgrade matched the one that i was upgrading from, i have a galaxy note so when i couldnt get windows to recognize the nexus 9 in adb mode i selected search my computer for the drivers and selected select from installed drivers and out of sheer desperation selected the Samsung ADB driver and sure enough the worked. from there i was able to adb sideload the update and install it and it rebooted into beatiful android 6.0 tablet has been working fine so far with no issues.

First thing i did however was allow unlocking of the bootloader in the developer options.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesmithis:
Edit: nvm
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesmagyar:
Yeah I was going to say because I'm the op, I had no access to the operating system either but I was able to accomplish two steps I laid out above and it fixed my problem.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesmithis:
Also also misread your post. I thought you were saying that unlocked the bootloader before you fixed it. Lol

Troubleshooting & Downloading

Troubleshooting

1- Most of the problems that I noticed people have encountered is due to not reading the instructions fully. So make sure you read the OP word by word.

2- If you miss a step or mess up something go back to installing Kingroot and start over from the beginning.

3- Finally, I noticed that with an AT&T sim card in the phone Kingroot fails (why am I not surprised?) Either a reboot occurs in the middle of rooting or it completes the cycle without accomplishing root. If that occurs, my best advice is to change your phone company. If that fails, you may need to factory reset your phone or even install the firmware from scratch and try again without the sim card.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] seoulbrova:
Got this to use with my Note 5 but have had success using it with the Nexus 7 as well. I have a video here

https://goo.gl/SHlM2Z

I have multiple wireless chargers. $3 cheapies, Samsung OEM, Spigen 3 coil wireless, and now this. This is by far the best one out of all of them. Just the fact that it has worked fast charging is great because you don't lose the charging speed that typically comes with wireless charging.

I tried this with a Note 5, S6, and a nexus 7. Worked well on all those devices with zero issues. The charger is heavier and feels sturdier than the other ones I have. I'm guessing whatever is inside to enable fast charging must be a pretty dense set of components.

Not sure if it's 3 coil but connects without issues every time. So far I haven't had an issue of having to mind it around to get it to connect. Tried with and without cases and haven't noticed a drop in charging time.

Definitely picking up a second one to leave at my office.

Is there a separate mic for calls does anyone know? Anyone have this problem? I tried wiping, been on OI1 for a while and this just started happening a few days ago.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1n0dhn:
I was wondering if it's possible to unlock the bootloader of my HTC One M8 without losing data. I've read HTCDev's route but that wipes the phone. I've gotten upto a point. I just need to unlock it. I've done all the identifier token stuff so I just need to unlock. If anyone has a method (free method) to unlock the bootloader without data loss, please tell me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Can't be done.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Backup your data, then restore it after the bootloader unlock.

There are a variety of methods to backup data (Gmail to backup contacts, Helium app, copy to computer or SD, lots more), so there really is no excuse to be running around without your personal data backed up (if that is the case).

Data loss can happen anytime (not just unlocking the bootloader). And waiting for a disaster then asking "how do I recover my data" is not the right way to go about things.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
Um, if you are willing to shell out $25 and go S-off, you can. In fact, Sunshine leaves your bootloader unlocked as part of the process.

Of course, this isn't free (you have to use Sunshine), and for some variants of the phone King Root is required (and a pain the backside) However, there is a way to do what you are asking.

However, I can't disagree with the idea that you should be making backups anyway, and since you already have a token, it's not like you are saving much at this point by not just unlocking the traditional way and restoring your backups.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1n0dhn:
I backed up my stuff and unlocked without problem. Problem now is HTC Sync doesn't want to talk to my phone. It gives me a popup saying "This device needs a newer verison of HTC Sync".

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chapita:
The point is that despite making a backup using the Google account I wasn't able to recover my pictures from the memory card. Clearly I misunderstood the "backup concept" here.

Saying that you have two choices here: one of them is to tell me that there is a way (if there is) to recover my pictures from the phone which will become my post a question and myself a happy man. The other one is to leave the post as it is. In that case, it will be just a personal experience.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yes, you misunderstood. Backing up using Google isn't going to save or allow you to recovery anything from the "memory card".

What do you mean by "memory card"? Do you mean internal memory, or the removable SD?

So far I've ...

- downloaded the require files using PC Companion

- Decrypted FILESET using FlashTool

- While in the FlashTool>Bundles>Create, these are the .TA files I get, the rest are .SIM & .XML files should be kept(correct me if I'm wrong):

cust-reset.ta

fota-reset.ta

simlock.ta

You could use titanium backup or similar. Clean flash is: from recovery, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik/art cache, then install rom and gapps etc.
