[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterMarius:
THX for the reply

This RUU file after I flash it on my phone will it give all the languages that I lost after I installed a stock rom (for UK I presumed)

It's another way to install missing languages in my phone without the RUU file?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
this RUU have all the worlds language i think ( it's WWE variant )

you can flash a rom supporting the language you need ( i think all the rom now supporting all languages )
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
Yes done with success

Now you have a full factory condition device

And it should have all languages

It's kinda weird you have missing language in the stock backup you restored earlier ( you said that in the help thread )
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterMarius:
The backup was from xda, not mine :good:

The phone finished the boot process, but my language still not appear, same 5 languages in the "Choose language" menu at the startup of the setting up the phone. Any ideas what can I do now?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
Yes i know ( basically you have the same system now )

Is it worked for you ?

Do you have the language now ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterMarius:
Same 5 languages at the beginning of the setup... no I don't have my language
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
I don't know why

but that's weird ( it should have all languages )

Try to flash another rom and see if your language is there
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterMarius:
I think I need a TWRP backup with my language in it, but don't know where I can get such a backup.

Another rom... first of all I need to do the unlock procedure again, install TWRP.

The "Unlock_code.bin" that I used first time, will work again after the RUU flashing, or I need to get another one?

I also need a proper "installing SU for HTC one M8", because from this I actually arrived here to try unbriking my phone :o
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
If you know a variant supporting your language you can always download it from the stock backups thread and restore it on your device

About unlocking the bootloader

The unlock_code.bin may work but if it didn't just do the process to unlock as described at htcdev.com

About rooting

Flash the latest SuperSU.zip ( 2.79 ) after you flash the latest TWRP recovery
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasterMarius:
Why after unlocking, flashing twrp and supersu, my phone says when it's at charge (turned off completely) and when is booting "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action" (written with red at the bottom of the screen)

Regard of trying to install another rom to see if my language it's present, in the current state I could try flashing the rom from https://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-o...-4-17-605-9-stock-resources-firmware-t3196906 ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
By Unlocking the bootloader and Flashing a custom recovery this message appear

( that's normal all devices have a similar message after unlocking bootloader )

The rom you linked is for verizon device and it won't work on your device

Take a rom from original development section

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The system has it's own partition. You can't change the size of it. It doesn't matter what you do, even if you change the files in the system partition, it won't affect the size of the remaining internal storage available. Think of the storage partitions as rooms in your home, and the files are the stuff in those rooms. Just because you take stuff out of your bedroom, doesn't make the room smaller. The room just stays the same size. And taking stuff out of your bedroom, doesn't mean you can fit more stuff in your kitchen.

The exception is to RUU to GPE (Google Play Edition). But you need s-off for that ($25 by sunshine). And you will lose Sense, and you don't get that much storage back. Plus, some folks say GPE is even more laggy then Sense.

You are better off just trying to tweak the phone, either with custom ROM, minimize app usage, performance mods, etc. I think the main problem is that app developers (and even developers of websites, services, etc.) make their apps more and more resource intensive since folks keep updating their phones. But if you use a phone that is 3 years old, it's not going to perform well anymore.

Yeah I don't think it erases everything present previously. Any command to wipe it completely? Including the current rom? It was possible in TWRP but I am on stock right now and to flash this I can not go back to TWRP.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
lol

You might not "think" it will erase everything, but I "know" for a fact it will.

You don't need TWRP for this. I never said to flash it in recovery.

Just follow my instructions. Seriously dude, with my thanks count and status, do you think I don't know what I'm talking about?

Run the RUU via fastboot or the SDcard method like I told you to do.

Or..........you can wait for someone else to come on here to tell you to follow my advice.

I'm sorry if I'm coming across as an a**hole, but I seldom get this kind of response when I'm trying to help someone out.

Or.......... whatever. Do what you want to do, and best of luck fixing your issues

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Cool!

But here's the thing. If you REALLY want to wipe everything so it will never be accessed by anyone including the CIA or something like that.....

There are ways to access the data after a wipe. It's not something that a regular user would be able to do, but it is possible with the proper software.

Run the RUU. That will wipe your data. Then fill your internal storage with stuff you don't care about anyone finding (I suggest a bunch of movies in as high a resolution you can get)

When your internal storage is full, run the RUU again.

That way any kind of software that will recover wiped data will only find the crappy Ghostbusters video re-do with the female cast. :D

I think he was more concerned with "truly" wiping the phone in order to regain "lost" storage, as he thought the RUU didn't do that (as we know, is incorrect).

What I think happened, is he did RUU to Lollipop, then OTA to Marshmallow, and along the way installed apps and did other things that took up more storage then he thought. Then wrongfully blamed the system for taking all the storage.

Agree it was a little annoying, as I too had stated the RUU will wipe everything, but he insisted on contradicting

both

of us with what he "thought" instead of what you and I "know".

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddharthsachdeva:
hahahah i mentioned it in the original post that I updated from L to M. You have read that twice for all I know:p:p Coming to the RUU part I didn't had the RUU (the exe one)!!! It is damned indian version, not much is available. And it came down to 5 from 8 which kept disagreeing to. Getting through was my part all I asked for was advice and not criticism, I rarely do all this stuff I wouldn't have been "junior" otherwise ;) Anyways thank u again!!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Regardless of the fact you did RUU to LP, then OTA to MM, that alone (versus RUU right to MM) would not explain losing 3 GB of storage. There was other data that got onto the phone, whether it be apps you installed, OTA file not being deleted, etc. That was my point.

Sometimes you have to live with some of the latter, to get the former. Sounds like you are complaining about us helping you? The only criticism leveled was due to you disagreeing with advice given by two folks, who clearly know more about the topic at hand.

I've already advised you, that you've interpreted the band info incorrectly: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72508572&postcount=11

From the info available, Tanzania uses Airtel for 3G in the 2100 MHz band. The 900 and 1800 MHz bands are likely for 2G (not related to 3G). It looks like you flashed the Dev Edition firmware to get support for 3G bands (900 and 1800) which you don't need.

Also, (as already pointed out) stating that TTCL uses "4G LTE" is meaningless. It doesn't tell us what band they use. All LTE is "4G".

Sticking to the 3g bands! What are the process to get them? since i can not spot the problem facing it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Just one 3g band (2100 MHz) that you need, based on the info available (third time I'm telling you this). Your previous firmware already supported the band, and your current firmware supports it as well. 2100 is the most commonly supported 3G band in the world. There is something else going on besides the band support in firmware. Make sure your APN info for your carrier is entered into the phone settings, try another SIM (or make sure the SIM works for 3G in another device).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You haven't mentioned installing an AT&T ROM that I can see (or maybe buried in another thread?), do you mean the Developer's Edition firmware or RUU (6.12.1540.4)? Might be helpful if you provide more details on what exactly you've done with the phone, step by step, and in detail, what files used (exact file names, methods) and the changes to the data connection along with those steps. I see you've been jumping around to different threads, trying different things. Not the best approach, makes it really hard to follow, and to properly help you.

I would also highly recommend posting the full getvar output (minus IMEI and serial number, which are personal info) as previously requested by ahmed back on post #84 above, and you never responded. It seems you edited out some critical info.

I'm also confused that you seem to be trying different providers and different SIMs. Not familiar at all with the market in Tanzania. But folks usually try to get their phone working on one provider, one SIM. Doing otherwise may be unnecessarily confusing the issue.

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

Wasn't me! If it was me, it would probably be working right. ;)

Just being a little facetious there. I have a feeling the person's issue may be more related to local carrier nuances, APNs, and less so the phone's firmware, software, etc.

Only other thing I can think, is to baseline completely to something like Euro RUU. Might be a mishmash of firmware, ROMs that are not helping matters.

and yet i am only having edge network on my phone!

and is the APN setting related to the network? if it is not related! then my phone goes offline whenever i choose 3g only(plus it never goes to 3g as it was before i started the updates)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I don't know what you mean when you say you "started updating" then "jumped to" something else. Are these RUUs (what are the file names)?

You were also on Developer's Edition firmware or RUU at one point, since your previous getvar indicated 6.12.1540.4. So you've definitely missing that step in your above description.

I think the Euro RUU you used, is a good place to be. Don't change anything (another ROM, RUU, firmware, radio) at this time.

The APN is absolutely related to the network. Each network usually has it's own different APN settings. If you use the wrong APN for the SIM, you won't have data. And sometimes, carriers use different APNs for SIMs enabled with 3G or LTE. So you might not have the right APN, and you might not have the right SIM.

My advise is to stick with one carrier, make sure the SIM is provisioned for 3G. Then contact the carrier, and make sure the APN settings are correct for that SIM (and for 3G).

Also make sure the APN info is entered

exactly

correctly, down to every single character. Even getting one character, or an extra space (where there isn't supposed to be one) will prevent you from getting data service.

If you are unfamiliar with the importance of the APN, then I have a feeling the APN is the problem. 3G service is usually really easy to get, as long as you are on firmware that supports the right 3G band. Failure to get data connection under such circumstances, majority of the time, the APN is the problem.
