[Sprint HTC One (M8)] xBr4v3x:
I just got an M8 from someone on craigslist and I'm trying to unlock bootloader, s-off, etc to Unlock the phone.

The charging port was messed up so I replaced it to be able to charge and use the phone.

Only problem is the VOL UP button doesn't work & the VOL DOWN button works, but isn't as responsive as it should be (have to push harder than usual)

I try to boot into Bootloader with PWR & VOL DOWN, but it just boots normal. I can't seem to get it into the bootloader menu.

Any way I can force it to go into it with an app maybe? or a different method?

Any help is MUCH appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
While booted to rom you could try this...

Open a cmd window from you folder that has adb/fastboot files in it and type

adb reboot bootloader

Or if you can get to recovery there is an option to reboot bootloader

Or there is an app called Quick Boot in the Playstore
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] xBr4v3x:
I'm not rooted, so Quick Boot won't work. I'll see if I can boot it using a command, but idk if that will work

edit- tried, no profit. maybe failed at it, lol.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Sloth:
Failed how?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] xBr4v3x:
Been a while since I used cmd to do so, I might have to reinstall the drivers and attempt it again, but it didn't do anything when I typed it and tried

Edit- Got it working, had an outdated file, had my fasboot & adb folders mixed up with which was new and which was old. Such a silly mistake. Haha, thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] xBr4v3x:
Well, now I can't unlock the bootloader as it won't read me pressing the PWR button on yes...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] xBr4v3x:
Looks like I won't get help since people.Will open.this for the issue in the thread title, but I now have a different issue and can't open a separate thread for that problem since it's apparently a duplicate thread when it's a different problem. Looks like I'll wait a week for someone to hopefully read this instead of a day or two since my new problem is something people have faced before, so someone have to have a solution for it. Guess I have to go even longer without unusable phone with service.thanks xda. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Brychrwolf:
*SOLVED* Necro bump

I have the same phone, with the same issue, so I'm replying to this ancient thread with my solution.

All my buttons work in all situations... except in fastboot. The VOL-UP key wouldn't work there and only there. Not a problem since VOL-DOWN will wrap around to the top. The problem came when I needed to unlock my bootloader again after relocking it (for unrelated reasons).

In the Unlock Bootloader confirmation screen, I could select Yes to continue, but the PWR button would not do anything :mad::mad::mad:

After reading another thread about how fastboot is unable to manage multiple button presses at once, it occurred to me that the VOL-UP key was somehow blocking the PWR button from firing. So, I removed the back from phone (a non-trivial procedure) and physically disconnected the volume buttons by pulling the ribbon cable second from the top on the left, pressed PWR, and viola! :victory::victory::victory: Bootloader began Unlocking. :victory::victory::victory: Hope that helps.

tl;dr; After selecting "yes" in the menu, physically disconnecting the volume button ribbon inside the phone re-enables the PWR key.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Delgan:
Oh my god, what was the probability of us having exactly the same problem 3 weeks apart on a 5 year old phone?! :D

My phone enter in bootloader for no reason, then the power button was ineffective so I could not select any action... And all of this was because of my broken volume button!

Your message save me a lot of headache, thanks a lot! :victory:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nloding:
I'm confused, and this is probably an easy-answer question:

So I've got an 8535, SIM unlocked, using it with T-Mobile. If I want to put, say, Black Satin on it, do I need to make it SuperCID too?

If not ....... why make it SuperCID?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stevebonning:
It's always a good idea to first refer to the WIKI; most all of your answers will be found there. Yours is a basic question that has been answered many times.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nloding:
Honestly I didn't see it in the Wiki .......
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nloding:
Yeah, I just searched the wiki's again and couldn't find anything, and couldn't find anything doing a Google search too. Everything just says you need SuperCID to flash "another carrier's" ROMs onto the phone -- does Black Majik count as "another carrier"?

And then there's sites like trinityguides.com that say things like this: "you will not need to Super-CID your device in order to upgrade with these instructions. The RUU will push SSPL on to your device which will bypass CID check, and Hard-SPL will do the same things for you as a CID unlock, without actually unlocking it." This site reads different in the wiki.

If it is in the wiki, then what page is it on because I seriously cannot find it!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pof:
- On OLD devices using NBF format for rom upgrades, you where able to flash ANY rom to your device if you had it SuperCID.

- On NEW devices using NBH format for rom upgrades, the NBH format is SIGNED, which means the device's bootloader won't accept the ROM if it is not signed with the proper HTC certificate. If your device is SuperCID you'll be able to flash ANY carrier's ROM which are SIGNED with the proper certificate, but you won't be able to flash cooked ROMs (not signed with the HTC cert). For this you need a patched bootloader, such as SSPL, HardSPL or USPL, which will allow you to bypass signature checking EVEN if the device is not really SuperCID.

Hope it's clear now, feel free to add it to the wiki yourself ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nloding:
Aha! Fantastic! Thank you pof! (I'll add it later, methinks -- work now).

So what is the point of using another carrier's ROM? Just having their ROM on there? From what I've been reading, it looks like the cooked ROMs are definitely the way to go -- better apps, better performance, much sleeker styling.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pof:
Imagine somoene buys a Orange device, sim-unlocks it and uses it with a Vodafone SIM card. If he's not an average user, he probably just wants to put a Vodafone rom on the device to not need to setup data connection, mms settings, and have all the operator customizations integrated in the rom. This person is fine with just a CID-unlock, does not need to flash unsigned code (which generally has more risk than flashing a 'official' rom). But of course, the bast majority of us are not happy "only" with this ;)

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pixie67:
Hello guys, I've been searching and searching, still not sure if I'm doomed!

Was nicely rooted, with safestrap and backups of stock and cm11 (nandroid), then root got lost so I tried to reboot with towelroot and then kingroot, neither worked, then something went wierd so I rebooted. Safestrap screen shows up after grey logo, but says safestrap disabled. Offers recovery or continue, if I choose recovery, the screen just goes black, if I choose continue it goes grey.

Is there any hope for me or is it dead?

Please let me know, I thought I was being so careful, backing everything up etc. If it's dead I just have to get another and move on.

Thank you all for any help!

If you can't access Safestrap it doesn't look good. What did you do that "root got lost" - root's not something that just leaves? :confused:

Btw which Fire OS & Safestrap versions do you use? Was CM11 in a secondary or the stock slot?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pixie67:
Well I'm not sure how it went, but I was trying to install play store, so i tried to copy the vending.apk to system/app, but this seemed to be locked (said no room), changed permissions to rw etc, no luck, checked root with root checker, said problem with root (although i could enable root access on es file explorer)

So i tried to reroot. Then went into safestrap apk ,checked safestrap installed (but said no safe image installed or something),so tried to boot into recovery from there, and that's where i got stuck.

I now seem to be able to get into fastboot mode and do some things with adb, but get this when trying to get to shell

Don't have a solution but will comment that the actions you took were totally unnecessary and risky on a locked device - especially a finicky HDX. As you learned Safestrap does little to insulate you from the realities of the underlying firmware.

[LG V10 Accessories] bobobobicsek:
Does it work well with the V10?

Can you tell the difference between the charging time of original fast charger vs turbocharger?

Thanks.

Bob

it seems that according to your test it does not work as a quick charger...

"Just took it out of the box, had 40%. Plugged it into my motorola turbo charger, with long flat braided cloth cable, it was charging at 5v.. I switched out the cable and used the 24awg cable from ZeroLemon's charger and it went to 9v. 40-80% in 30mins~ Main screen off (using OLED USB Doctor sleeve)"
[LG V10 Accessories] cadcamaro:
I tried three different chargers and they all show that they charge at about the same rate in the app Ampere. The first was the fast charger that came with the phone, second was the newer turbo charger that comes with the turbo 2, and the last charger I used was the original turbo charger with a detachable USB cable. All are pretty close to the 940mA-1200mA range.

So if you need a cheap, quick charger the one in the OP should work.
[LG V10 Accessories] clockcycle:
Works great with the V10, I would re-read my post (you'll see I was using a different long cheap cable), used it with my Z3, G4 and N6 as well. Check my posts in the the Fast Chargers thread for more details. http://xdaforums.com/lg-v10/accessories/fast-chargers-t3226944/page2

I personally gave up on chargers and care 2 spare batteries with me though out the day. Then recharge at bedtime.
[LG V10 Accessories] bobobobicsek:
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, reading comprehension problems...

I do have the right cable for the turbo charger 15 so that is great news.

This is phonearena's result with the G4 with turbocharger 15:

"So, what happens if a Quick Charge 2.0 charger is plugged into the LG G4 instead of the phone's stock one? Well, that's the question we wanted to answer, so we drained the G4's battery and then recharged it using a QC2.0-enabled Motorola Turbo charger. It recharged our LG G4 in 98 minutes, which was an improvement of 23% over the phone's stock charger. In this scenario, the first 10 minutes of charging gave us 15% of battery juice, and after 30 minutes of charging, the battery level indicator was reading 39%. The charging process went at a steady, linear pace until we reached a battery level of 85% in 1 hour and 9 minutes. Around that point, the charging rate dropped – the battery was being slowly topped off."

Yeah I decided on the x2. Man do yet sound great with v4a and dolby atmos running. I don't really walk around or use them in an office environment. Mostly use to run and workout and when ride the bike.
