[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] srgibbs99:
Would really love some help. :D I flashed the recovery from the CM site. Now when it boots is shows the Cyanoboot screen, and it only boots to recovery from EMMC. Even after side-loading the CM13 zip for acclaim it still just boots to recovery. Any ideas how to get out of recovery?!?!

I also tried to "adb sideload" a different recovery (CWM) but it fails to install, saying "E: footer is wrong, E: signature verification failed"

I can only get into adb sideload mode, as "adb devices" says my device is "UNAUTHORIZED", and can't boot to CM at all.

Anything (other than CM zip) I try to flash from ADB sideload within CM recovery fails due to signature verification. Seems like its checking for updates signed by CM. Ugh, not seeing a way out of this.

If your device boot-loops

, see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21381141#post21381141 (including in particular post #9 of that thread) for potential cause and solution.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] srgibbs99:
Thanks for the thread. I think that helps understand the issue, however I'm kind of in a "catch-22" since I don't have adb shell access, i can't write a new recovery image. And since I can't write a new recovery image, im stuck with the Custom CM recovery that won't do anything but flash official builds. The developer, Chris, has been looking into an option to help me out of this, hopefully he comes up with it :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
If the current recovery that the tablet boots to is functioning you can try to use it to flash zip files for a new recovery or flashable_bootloop_fix.

If the recovery is not functioning, you should use a bootable SD card containing a SD-based recovery to flash them.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] srgibbs99:
The current recovery (Cyanogenmod recovery) boots, but it seems to only be able to flash ZIPs signed by CM. And doing that hasn't changed any behavior.

I've tried a bootable SD card, but the Cyanoboot doesn't give me a chance to choose any options...it just loads EMMC recovery immediately every time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Many NTs can boot off SD card only from a power-off state and with insertion of a powered USB cable.

If this still does not help, see note (i) of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692403
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] srgibbs99:
Nice! Thanks for the tips. I was able to create a bootable SD card and then flash a working recovery! Up and running on CM13, not bad so far. Seem way more stable than CM12 was.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justin541:
Hi there, My nexus 5 is having screen issues and the screen basically doesn't function due to what I can only assume is a bad connection on the mainboard ( if I press in the right area with the back cover off the screen will flicker and work a tiny bit if I reboot the phone.) My issue is I still have tons of pictures that are very dear to me on the device and need to get them off of it. When I connect it to my pc (windows 7) it connects and shows up as a nexus 5 device but nothing will appear in the folder. Im fairly certain I have the correct drivers installed as well. So how can I get it to connect properly with having basically no access to the screen? Ill even paypal you $5 if your answer works for me, thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Did you enable USB debugging? Did you enable MTP when connected to a computer? Is the computer a trusted device?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justin541:
must have at some point because i connected it to a computer in the past, no idea and i dont know how to, and i dont know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
If the the phone is running a stock ROM and has a lock screen PIN, pattern, or password, you probably need to unlock the phone and select MTP as the USB option in order to have the Nexus 5 files appear in Windows Explorer.

If you have access to another N5, you could swap motherboards, copy the data, and swap motherboards again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rambo6:
I am currently using an Hermes. I got a Titan (PPC 6800) a few months ago. It has the same Qualcomm chip (the 7200) found in the Kaiser.

I gave the TiTan to my son and kept the Hermes because it had better sound and better battery life. (I realize that the Titan is a CDMA device and may not have as much batter life).

Have any of you compared the Kaiser and the Titan?

Is the Kaiser really that much better than the Hermes? If so, why.

I'm trying to decide to get the Kaiser or wait for the Omni.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
Well despite a slowness problem someone else has reported recently, mine is superbly fast compared with the Hermes. Instant power on from standby, quick opening of power hungry applications like tomtom etc etc. Brightness is better, feels better, better build quality. AND NO lockups and freezing so far - and that's a MAJOR plus in my book. No issues with freezing when on charge etc , in fact it's been so smooth for me that I have not been doing my regular backups (bad practice I know!).

I really am impressed by this device - not just the GPS, but mainly because of the reliability, speed and feel of it. So far as added potential for this device over the TyTn (GPS aside) I'm not so sure that there is a huge benefit, BUT it is a huge benefit to have similar functionality to the TyTn that actually works reliably and smoothly - I feel I can rely on this device where I would not give TyTn 100% trust. (I enjoyed finding work arounds and fixes for the TyTn and got it to a fairly workable state, but the Kaiser is much more of an out of the box working device I think). The one poor thing (so far) that I've found is the slow scrolling in PIE - but only PIE; this feels glitchier/slower refresh rate than the TyTn.

Whther you wait for the Omni is for you to check out:)

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rambo6:
Mike:

Thanks for the reply. I would like a larger screen so I'm tempted to see if HTC comes out with the Omni Next month as planned. I'll probably end up with both devices.

Have you messed with the GPS yet? Can it work using Google maps without any other hardware or software? Just curious.

Thanks!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GenesysLV:
Just my 2 cents, I have the same raves about the Kaiser/TyTN II. Out of the box it is really hassle-free.

I share your complaint about pocket IE but I find this behavior only in PIE. If you install Opera mini, for example, web browsing is similar to an Iphone experience but much faster. No refresh just smooth/fast scrolling.

I hope MS gives us a major update to PIE soon, It really is starting to show it's age.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
Yes, looks like Opera mini then. I tried it on my TyTn but generally preferred PIE layoutwise. It's just strange that PIE should be about the only thing I find slower on the Kaiser. In single column view it scrolls fine until you start to get further down a page and eventually it all but seizes up. Still, as you say Opera Mini is smooth scrolling, I'll be very happy with that.

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GenesysLV:
It seems to be the best out of the ones I've tested, including deepfish which I'm not really impressed with.:rolleyes:

There is also another browser that is rumored to be better than Opera mini. I believe it's called thunderhawk.

AT&T Network v. Sprint

I'm running a Hermes on AT&T's network and a 6800 on Sprints EVDO rev. 0. Overall and in most places AT&T's HSDPA network is faster than the Sprint. I carried both phones for two weeks in Salt Lake City and surrounding areas.

The Sprint network had EVDO in more towns than AT&T had UMTS or HSDPA. However, I could get the AT&T signal and get on the web in more places than I could with the Sprint. Sometimes it's only Edge speeds but I could get on.

I ended up giving the Sprint Phone to my Son and keeping the Hermes and trying to decide whether to buy the Kaiser or not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] e-dub:
yeah, i've been damn near shocked at the speeds i've been getting on hsdpa in nashville vs. ev-do since i've gotten my kaiser on wednesday. but i know surfing in edge will drive me insane if i ever have to do it :(

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rambo6:
I'm really close to ordering a Kaiser unlocked. Most of the Kaiser posts have been from people in Europe. Please give me a full rundown. I'm especially interested in how the gps works with google maps. Have you set it up and given it a whirl?

Also, surfing on Edge with the Hermes is not all that bad. It's funny because I go to some remote locations camping in Utah. Sometimes I can get an "E" or even a "G" signal and surfing isn't that bad while I lie in my tent at night. The fact that I can surf at all in such locations is amazing in and of itself. It down loads articles well but the pics take a few seconds more.

With the 6800, I can get a 1XRTT signal and can make a phone call, but I cannot get web access. With the AT&T service, it's hard to place a call in these remote locations but sending email and browsing the web works better. Go figure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
Just on the google maps part. It works well - but it tends (for some folk) to not wait long enough to acquire the signal before it times out. However there is an easy workaround:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I loved my Hermes after taking it to Black WM6, the Kaiser is just that much better, as stated already, it's solid, fast and the GPS rocks. I use Google Maps and iGuidance v4 and they both work flawlessly, even at the same time with active GPS. You won't be dissapointed, except for lower "in-call" volume in the BT headset (many have complained about this, others say it's OK)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
This seems to be an initial, 1st time occurance. Once I had acquired a fix with another GPS app, Google maps worked fine. Now Google Maps works fine, even when I launch it by itself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rambo6:
Thanks guys. I may have to order one. I have to buy my wife a new sewing machine first.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chrisnash:
Well I've been playing with my Kaiser for a day now and on the whole I love the build quality and the extra memory and storage is a blessing.

However, I have major issues with the radio version.

It is dreadfully slow when the 3G signal is a just one or two bars - it often wont find an internet connection (things like the weather on the Home plug will not update) and I couldnt even make any calls for a while when the signal was low. I was tempted to switch to straight GSM.

Does anybody know of a good radio upgrade?

Looks like the update was pulled. I wonder when they are going to get it finalized? It makes me concerned that if they pulled it don't they have to work with Google in order to make sure it's finalized. Not going to claim to know much about OTA updates, but still I will admit been waiting for Sense 7 for too darn long if you ask me.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ctiger:
Since they found a huge problem with the release, it'll take some time for them to sort it out. But Mo said this week, so it's very likely it'll be this week.

I think everybody feel bad about the situation, but it should be very close now, several days earlier or later doesn't make too much difference for anyone, from now on, a day early it'll be great, two days late, well, whatever... keep your expectation lower so it'll always be better.

Well, based on my experience about customer service, most reps for all these companies are for handling very general questions from general population, nothing details. If the rep actually knows any details, he's not going to sit there long before getting toooo bored and kill himself. so asking them is totally useless unless you are asking some general questions, which you don't need to ask them, and find it out online.

H/K edition received as well. 1.06 GB for me. Installing as we speak. My intent is to let the OTA install and then try the downloaded RUU that repeatedly failed while checking the header.

Strange. Just one OTA update fixed it and my M8 h/k is on MM. Why couldn't it happen with the RUU..:confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rapperman:
Unfortunately I know nothing about the technical aspects of such things, only what was reported by the installer as I attempted to install the RUU. It would attempt to send files to the device and then pause to check the header. My guess is that it the install program wasn't finding what it expected to find and so was hanging at that point.

MM installation nearly complete. Took approximately 20 minutes. Will be trying the RUU again shortly.

Ok... took 20 minutes to install the OTA and another 20 minutes to upgrade Android. On a factory reset 5.0.2 device HTC's Sync Manager showed 1.24 GB's of storage in use. Under MM that has climbed to just shy of 3GB's. Have started the RUU and all seems to be working as intended. Will report back shortly.

Edit: RUU worked flawlessly after installation of the OTA. Entire process took approx 30 minutes and HTC Sync Manger reports 1.9 GB's of storage space in use as opposed to the 3GB's consumed following the OTA update on a factory fresh device.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] rapperman:
Updating again with the RUU isn't necessary following the OTA update but I was interested in knowing whether it would work properly after the OTA was applied (because it would not work prior!) The OTA is non-destructive but appeared to leave an additional 1GB of data behind on my device, possibly the unarchived files of the OTA file itself, but I didn't bother to check. The RUU will wipe your device clean if you run it. Consider that before you do.
