And now I'm trying to get full Stock phone with Encryption, Locked oem and systemless Root without No warnings. = S E L R N

As far as I went was S R N when i tried to encrypt it got stucked on colorful bubbles screen.

Anyone got idea how to reach this ?

Did somone checked is AdAway after changing location of host file and symlinking it, stops Google Pay/Makes additional warning while booting ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] montropistic:
Folks, 7 rooted devices over last 7 years, and I have usually been able to find a solution without having to start a new thread... however, this time... I better get an expert opinion.

Essentially, here are the facts... I was flashing a rom yesterday on my wife's m8, and the wifi would not work. I thought about it, and then figured it likely was that I had not updated to latest TWRP prior to flashing. So I restored an old backup, I think the one I made right after rooting, which was 1.5 yrs ago, maybe more. That flashed fine, except after many tries via many methods, I could not get TWRP updated, and in fiddling around, I clicked update software, which downloaded the Verizon kitkat update, and started installing it... that was a mistake, finger too fast notwithstanding... I did not need to do it at all, since I was going to flash something new anyway right after updating recovery. Anyway phone appeared to be stuck, I powered it off (Vol up + Power) and went into bootloader (Vol down while it powered up) to go back into recovery and start over. However, the phone went into a boot loop and has since given me much grief over the past few hours.

Output from getvar all is below. It appears to be missing the OS - which kind of makes sense, if I interrupted it midway through something. The phone neither boots, and refuses to enter recovery - even after flashing recovery using fastboot as well as the Hasoon All in One tool. I also cleared cache. I suspect the recovery is loading, but is hidden behind the boot loop screen (is that possible? not sure, just a guess) because the phone has haptic feedback where the TWRP buttons would be - FWIW.

What should my next steps be? Please advise...

First off you should edit you're post to remove the imei and meid. I don't know how but they say people can do bad things with them so they shouldn't be posted publicly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] montropistic:
Thanks for the heads up, I have taken those out.

I tried fastboot flash zip rom.zip, that failed with error 'remote: not allowed'
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
I edited out your serial number. As to the not allow error you must do the following first before attempting to flash.

Fastboot oem rebootRUU
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] montropistic:
Thanks dottat, yes, I got to the need of being in RUU just prior to your pointing it out, and on doing that, it failed with remote: 24 parsing android-info fail

Trying again with a different ROM now... let us see.

Edit - and it failed with the different ROM zip with the same error, 24: parsing android-info fail.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
could be a bad download of the RUU
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] montropistic:
hmmm... shall i 'Flash factory RUU zip' (in all in one toolkit, or fastboot). Note that I have not done this yet. I will have to go look for the said factory RUU, should be findable. Can I do that while being unlocked/S off, or do I need to adjust any of those first?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
I personally stay away from toolkits, and use fastboot

you can always RUU, with S-OFF you can downgrade if need be. I would fastboot flash the latest RUU. Or you can put on SD-Card and do that method.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] montropistic:
Yep, grabbing the file from dottats post now, and will flash that. I assume I will do it using option 1 (rename and put it on the root of SD card)... or should I fastboot flash that instead, as you suggested?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Either way works the same - which one your more comfortable with.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] montropistic:
OK - so update from my side.

1. Grabbed dottat's RUU file(as pointed out above), checked md5, renamed it, and put it on the root of SD card.

2. Rebooted into bootloader - it saw file, went about updating as per spec - orgasmic.

3. While going through list of updates 2nd cycle, USERDATA - Fail-PU, PG2FS - SPCOSTUM - Fail PU and at the bottom - partition update fail, update fail - press power to reboot - crap.

4. Pressed power - HTC ONE - Vzw Logo - Android is updating - back to orgasmic.

Phone is back to life. Yay!

Going back to bootloader, Phone is still unlocked and S-off. Has the default recovery. I will flash TWRP next.

2 questions - what were the fails, and should i be worried about them?

the issue that got me going down this path still remains. maybe that is a separate topic, but the phone seems to have lost the ability to sense touch in the notification area. I cant pull down notifications, from the portrait mode notifications area. i can pull down in landscape mode, or if i use swipe down in middle of screen in adw.

anyway - will probe into that after TWRP and ROM.

Thanks for all the advice!

Update:

5. Flashed TWRP via fastboot, worked

6. Went into recovery, installed CleanRom v 4.0, worked.

All seems fine. Except that notification pull down issue...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Run the ruu again. It's not typical to have partition update messages. Bypass is OK but not pu (partition update). Regardless of how it's running right now re-run it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] montropistic:
OK - Yeah - it is running very nice right now, Clean Rom loaded fine, and all systems seem ok. However, per your advice, I will run the RUU again. FWIW, I had grabbed the version with the patch.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] montropistic:
OK, so I finally got around to this. I ran the RUU again, and got a fail on Userdata, and finally the same message at the end, partition update failed - power to reboot.

I let the phone boot, and then ran the RUU again, by straightaway going back into bootloader. This time, no fails, everything went through as per spec.

Thanks for insisting on re RUU. Seems like something was off, and iterating over it cured it finally. You rock, dottat.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] OneUp:
I got a secondhand T-Mobile MDA and while the screen works fine - the touchscreen works, there's no cracks or anything - everything is colored wrong...

It's like if you suddenly decreased the color depth on your desktop version of windows... everything goes to a washed out version of the proper color. In addition, there's kind of... lighter stripes that flicker across the screen when it's displaying colors.

Since I can't really explain it that well, I took a video of it. It's a little flash video like you find on YouTube... I also have a raw MPEG of it here for people that don't have Flash.

That's the default Windows Mobile theme in the video... the blue is washed out, and you can see the stripes flickering on the right as I move the slide up and down. While there's little "arc" of discoloration across the top some times, the stripes are usually the major discoloration on the screen.

There seems to be little problems when displaying things with a primarily white background except for washed out colors. The little water damage stripe under the SIM is still there and white.

Is this fixable? How much is it gonna cost me?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] OneUp:
Anybody have any ideas? Would a new LCD fix this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] swistak:
Maybe it's a flex?

Can't tell much from Your video :(

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Thibor69:
I have done something very stupid. I had my phone rooted and running a custom ROM and TWRP. I was going to try a new ROM and did something dumb instead. I went into TWRP and made a nandroid backup. Then I copied that backup to my USB drive. Next I wiped ALL. I even wiped internal, so now my phone is empty. I figured I could just FLASH now via the USB which has both my ROM and my TWRP backup. But it will not allow me to mount my USB drive now !!?? It shows the option to mount it, but it wont do it. It only is mounting my internal and that is empty. No ROM or BACKUP'S on my internal.

What can I do now ?? I have a phone with nothing on and can not boot. I have a USB stick with my nandroid backup and a custom ROM but can not seem to mount it to use it in TWRP.

HELP !! I am very nervous .. I just paid $700 dollars for this phone .... help please.

Thanks

You need to go into twrp and setup and

convert your file system to f2fs if you want to

use external USB storage.

Worse case scenario, start from scratch then transfer your backup to your phone's internal memory so you can flash it.

This is a pure aosp build compiled from AOSP 5.1.1 and samsung opensource sources. I did not test it and dont know about the result. I am not sure if it will boot but I did as musch as I could from my side.

Please make sure you a take a backup before you try and I will not be responsible for any damage to your phone.

This is always some possibility of bricking your phone.

Please report back after you try it.

Kernel is not even an issue.

The issue we are having with booting it, is the display HAL. (Especially gralloc since surfaceflinger can survive without hwcomposer.) [MENTION=5323804]UchihaKakarot[/MENTION] if you made any changes to the display HAL, mind uploading your sources? (Didn't find any s6 related stuff on your github.)

Well we already got tons and tons of succesfull builds, we even boot cm but no display (mainly) due to gralloc.

For gralloc we need to reverse engineer stock HALS, which is a pain to do.

I guess there is a lot more to learn from you guys. Anyways, arter97 and the others have done a great job and now most of the stuff is working.

Once the sources are out I will port AICP, Tesla-redux and Resurrection Remix to our device, my favorite of all the custom ROMs.

We should have a lot of custom ROMs like any other snapdragon device and show others that exynos is still awesome. :)

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danv28:
I have the 6P and find the size too big. I'm thinking of switching over to the 5X and have a few questions:

- Do you notice any lag when scrolling through apps or in certain parts of the OS? My main concern lies with Instagram and Facebook - do you get choppy scrolling in those apps?

- How's the build quality? Do you get any creaks when slightly applying pressure to different areas of the phone? Concerned about the plastic flexing.

- How do you find the speaker quality on the single speaker?

That seems about it for now. If there's any key thing to be concerned about that I didn't mention, please let me know.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
Just did a bunch of scrolling with those two apps and no choppy or stutter scrolling. My main slowdown I experience would be in Chrome and the camera app. But I hear even the 6P gets camera app slowdown issues as it's an app problem.

Build quality is solid. If you squeeze hard enough you can probably force a creak but that's cause it's plastic. A little twisting doesn't make a sound. There's a very, very minimal rattle somewhere in the phone if you shake hard enough. I think I read somewhere it's a spring in the SIM card slot. Could be right as with no SIM it was even louder. And for comparison, my Galaxy S5 had a lot of rattle I'm the volume buttons when shaken.

The single front facing speaker is pretty mediocre. Lacks range but gets okay volume. My Galaxy S5 rear facing speaker sounds better overall when putting the face down.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpayne2345:
In my opinion, the speaker is at least decent. It does what it needs to and unless you're watching movies or youtube all day long, it shouldn't be a problem. I make lots of calls and the speaker phone is as good as any other device I've owned.

I went back and forth between the 6P and this phone too. If size is the biggest issue, get the 5x and you won't be disappointed. It's a joy to use.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigiM4x:
So, I got my 6P last monday. The Nexus Imprint seems to be missing on the security screen and the scanner does not work as when I set it up. Now when I restore the factory image it doesn't even show up in the setup like I did the first time I set up the phone. I tried clearing cache like another did on reddit per google's instuctions, but and it worked for a bit, but now it won't recognize anything at all. I am in communication with Google support, but wondering if anyone has ran into this problem?

It happened to me after not even 4 hours of use. Mind you I set it up with one finger then deleted it. It has had maybe 10 presses.

I have only been configuring my device to have the same settings as my nexus 5 and deleting random google apps such as books - non essential ones then the fingerprint wouldn't respond. I'm not going to RMA the device for the failure but will try to isolate the issue and ascertain if it is hardware or software.
