[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alangordon73:
Hi

Apologies in advance if this is an obvious question; I have looked through the forum but cant find a concise answer to my queries. I am coming from a HOX and my friend gave me his broken screened UK O2 branded LTE M7 as such not yet familiar with the M7. I have replaced the broken screen and fitted a new battery which was a great deal more awkward than working on the HOX! :)

The CId is 02_001 running HBOOT 1.61 and S-ON, I have unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev however this is where I become unsure as to what avenues I can explore for flashing.

I'm assuming as I've now unlocked the bootloader I can flash a TWRP recovery but as I'm S-ON I can only flash unencrypted roms and as such cannot flash say the HTC Europe unbranded RUU? I want to try and stay on a stock type unbranded Sense ROM if possible rather than flashing a custom or CM based ROM until I am more familiar with the M7.

There is a plethora of info and hence I'm finding it difficult to get to grips with what ROMs would be suitable.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
With a S-ON phone you can only flash Signed RUU that are for your phone CID, MID and version-main. You also can't flash older RUU than your version-main.

With S-OFF, you can flash Signed/Un-signed RUU of your choice (you'll have to change your CID and maybe your MID)

Flashing a stock rom (not talking about a RUU here, but a stockish unbranded custom rom) doesn't requires S-OFF, simply flash using custom recovery. ARHD 93 is a good starting point imo.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alangordon73:
Many thanks for the reply - I am aware that the question is slightly noobish and as such I am appreciative. I'll install the suggested ROM and work from there.

Again many thanks :)

Unable to entery custom recovery

okay this is less than ideal... flashed every type of custom recovery to no avail but unable to boot into recovery.

Tried fastboot erase cache before and after flashing recoveries.

When selecting recovery 'entering recovery' appears at the top of the screen, after a few seconds the screen goes black for a second or so then back to the 'entering recovery' which never actually happens - Its like it hangs on loading the recovery.

Flash mdmower's twrp recovery

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alangordon73:
Right it seems I've managed to make a mess of this - I've foolishly relocked the booloader on a custom recovery and now I can't get it unlocked again - It reboots to recovery and just hangs and wont unlock the bootloader.

I've tried using the rom.zip from the RUU and flashing it in fastboot to which it reports it cannot allocate the space in bytes.

I've tried running the RUU which fails at checking headers on step 1/5

RUU I'm trying to use is RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_O2_UK_4.20.206.16_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353143_signed_2

Is the recovery partition perhaps corrupt as I'm getting absolutely nowhere with this paperweight?

I'm now at a loss and most peeved!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You can't flash a RUU version that is older than your actual version-main when the phone is S-ON. To unlock a bootloader that was relocked with a custom recovery installed, you either need to reflash a signed(official) firmware or a ruu since this is the only thing that the phone will accept in this state (locked and s-on).

Unfortunately i can't find any 7.18.206.51 firmware so you'll have to reflash the whole phone using the 7.18.206.51 RUU which will reset everything back to stock and wipe your files.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

than you'll be able to unlock again.

Don't forget to use htc_fastboot.exe for the flash zip command (not the regular fastboot.exe). A quick search on androidfilehost.com for "htc_fastboot" and you'll be able to download it if you don't have it already.

Can't thank you enough
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alangordon73:
Grrrr... Flashed the recovery suggested above and the phone just does not want to go into recovery.

I've tried:

Powering down from Android and then going into Bootloader just stops on Entering Recovery.

Power down, entering bootloader then reseting the phone - again stops on Enterng Recovery.

Power down from Android, power back up, master reset - again just stops on entering recovery.

screams... :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
not exactly,it depend what phone variant you have. If its a M7_UL or M7_U then you can flash any M7_UL or M7_U RUU youd like by changing the CID and MID. If you want to flash a lollipop RUU you need to have at least hboot 1.57 with a 6.xx.xxx.x firmware already installed on the phone. Firmware can easily be updated if needed when s-off.

Hi friends, I am getting notifications to update my M8 to marshmallow.Its with unlocked bootloader,rooted and with S-OFF and running stock rom.Currently its running Android 5.0.1 with Htc sense version 6.0 on a Rogers(canadian) network.Will it be safe to update it to marshmallow?Will i be able to root it afterwards?Any suggestions please?Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You will need an unrooted (never rooted) stock Rogers ROM, and corresponding stock recovery, in order to update by OTA.

Otherwise, there haven't been any issues reported (such as root) with Marshmallow. Root requires a newer version SuperSU (2.51 or later), but otherwise there aren't any major issues.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_zx11:
Thanks redpoint! what if i unroot my M8 first and then take OTA update?Will it be fine?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Nope, unrooting won't work OTA will still fail). I specified never rooted for that reason.

You can use a TWRP backup, if you made one before rooting. Otherwise, you'll need to find a stock (unrooted) TWRP backup on the forums.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_zx11:
I have a copy of final lollipop OTA zip file which i used last time 3-4 months ago.Can i use that?File is "OTA_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Rogers_WWE_4.20.631.2-3.34.631.4_release".
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'm not sure what you are asking. You can't run the OTA as-is, in order to return to stock ROM, if that is what you mean. This will fail for the same reason a Marshmallow OTA will fail (due to modified software) in addition that version check will probably also make it fail (you can't OTA to the same version already on the phone).

You might be able to extract the ROM for the zip file. But this can be risky, too. Its best you find a previously posted TWRP backup of the stock ROM; or ask someone to post it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja_zx11:
Thanks redpoint!! Please bear with me due to my limited knowledge.I have my own twrp back up which i made just after i got the phone and before doing anything but its an year old backup.I think at that time it was android 4.4.3.But after that my phone took 3 OTA updates.So i can i still use my old stock android 4.4.3 TWRP backup?

I also have recovery.img which i made just after getting OTA update 6-7 months ago.I used "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/recovery.img" to save recovery image.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That one is probably too old. The backup needs to match your firmware (hboot, radio, etc.) or at least be close.

Can't tell if that is too old, either.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What part about never rooted do you not understand???

Stop trying to invent ways around it. You can dance around and cluck like a chicken if you want, it still won't make a previously rooted ROM never rooted.

You've been told the proper way to proceed.

Hmm I don't think that was in the guide I read. So cool. So if I simply restored my nandroid and then flashed a custom kernel it would be fixed?

Hey guys

I know there are similar posts out there but none who describe my exact problem^^

It's like this: Earlier today, I wanted to go back to stock, fully. Which means I downloaded the stock backup and put it on my phone with TWRP. Then, I changed to stock recovery by using the HTC ONE M8 toolkit from hasoon2000.

As far, as good, everything worked just fine. And to have it completely back to stock (except for the still unlocked bootloader) I came up with the glorious idea of restoring to factory settings using the options in the phone's settings... aaaand now I'm stuck in the bootloop.

I meanwhile figured out how to enter the bootloader (volume up + power til screen turns fully black, then volume down) and I'm also able to access stock recovery through that... I of course tried factory resetting it through the bootloader and the recovery, I also took the sim card out as somewhere was suggested... but ultimately, it always goes back to the bootloop.

When connecting to the PC I hear the connecting sound... but that's it. It doesn't show up and thus I also can't access it through fastboot/adb

I ran out of ideas myself, do you have any?^^

Thanks!

SM-T900

I was using the tablet last night and it was fine, it has been a little slow, and then it just quit responding to touch.

It does respond to the hard keys and will boot.

I cleaned the cache multiple times, and finally resorted to a hard reset.

Still no touch.

What am I missing?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] otyg:
maybe it got shocked, hold the power button down for 60 seconds to force a power off (don't turn it on again, keep it unplugged), then let the tablet sit for 4-8 hours before turning it on again, if the problem persists then a connection inside the tablet could of come loose.

some other things to try first - if touch doesn't work hook a mouse up to the table using OTG cable then

1. disable bluetooth (maybe its unknowingly picking up some other input device) - and switch back to the default keyboard

2. factory reset, it could be a bad program or virus blocking touches

3. if you are in a humid environment put it into a dry place and blow a fan onto the device for a few hours to evaporate any moisture (don't use a blow-drier), or bring it with you on a car ride sometimes the air inside a car (vents on or window down) can quickly evaporate any built up condensation.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] phburns:
Holding the power button down just causes it to loop through a restart, never shuts down. I ordered an OTG cable, I'll try that next which would allow me to access the menu.

Actually Xperia 5.X.X roms are so clean that most of people think its stock. Beside different icons, small apps, camera app and some options there is no actual difference to stock rom.

There is just no reason to play with unstable custom roms, if you have almost stock experience on xperia device and most of smaller apps you can replace with google ones. And Camera app? As far as I hate xperia camera app, and camera overall in XZ. playing with custom roms that would replace sony firmware is just stupid. Too much problems.

So instead of playing with unstable AOSP just install stock rom and replace some apps and via root remove some build in apps...
