[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craig_CFC:
Fixed for now :)

hi again, the reason the original ROM did not instal was because i had changed the CID to a European one and was trying to instal a US TMOB ROM ..i changed the the CID back to a SuperCID 1st then installed the ROM and then changed the CID back to the original T-MOB010 CID so i could get all the OTA updates ..i will just leave it at this for now as i thought originally i had bricked my M8 - after the 1st flash the phone went into a boot loop :/ ...anyway, it's all sorted now and doing the many OTA updates but this particular one only updates to LP 5.01 .... i'm just wondering how i could get it to update to 5.02 or even 6.0? i will still try and change the CID & MID when i have enough information and am completely confident (and have a spare phone) then instal a European ROM and see if that get me the updates - thanks for the help :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyuubi10:
Perfect, so you figured it out :) Well Done.

Yeh, the best way is by changing MID and CID then flashing what you wish.

I wouldn't know since I am S-on.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craig_CFC:
I used Sunshine S-Off to do that.. payed the $25 ..its really easy and don't take long.

As for the phone, i think i'm going to do some serious research before i attempt anything like that again - its all up and running again, i'm not even going to flash TWRP this time until i really need it .. it's currently updated to 5.01 which i can live with.. i just wanted to taste a bit of Marshmallow :) i suppose it's a waiting game now - thanks again :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
How did you come about picking that firmware? Its not for T-Mobile US, its for Sprint.

In fact, its a good thing the firmware failed to install. If it succeeded, it may have

bricked

your phone due to partitioning differences between the Sprint version and most other M8 versions.

Be very careful about what firmware you flash. Don't flash

any

firmware you if you aren't 100% sure its the right one you should be using.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

I do, but I'm confused since you stated in the OP that you already tried to do it "manually"?

Before we head in that direction, you need to understand a couple things about changes made requiring s-off. By definition s-off means that all (or at least most) security checks are off. So this means:

1) Changing the MID is a bit risky, in that you are manually editing/modifying memory blocks (not sure if "block" is technically the right term, but I think you understand what I'm getting at) using adb. Enter the command incorrectly (and modify the wrong memory block), and you can brick the phone! You have to be extremely careful about the process of changing the MID, and double check and

triple check

every single commands is correct (not a single typo) before pressing "Enter".

2) As mentioned above, flashing firmware also requires close attention and care. You need to be 100% of the firmware you are flashing. Once you've changed the MID, you are bypassing the very safety check that is designed to prevent bricks (from flashing the wrong firmware).

If you are prepared to use extreme caution and exercise the required care, then we can proceed with what you want to do (change MID, flash Euro RUU so that you can "convert" the phone to official Euro version, with full OTA updates).

Although another method (if you don't mind the lack of OTA updates) is to ensure you are on LP firmware (or flash T-Mobile US firmware or RUU to get to LP firmware). Then flash a MM custom ROM (which should work fine with LP firmware). This direction is much safer, as its nearly impossible to brick the phone flashing the firmware meant for your original CID/MID or from flashing a custom ROM.

Really, the lack of OTA is not a big deal, in my opinion. The custom (or near stock) ROMs get updated just as fast as the official OTAs (in fact, often faster depending on which CID you are talking about) so you can continue to keep updated by flashing custom ROMs. Honestly, this is my 3rd HTC phone, and the number of times I've installed official OTA updates is zero, due to the fact that the ROMs posted by devs here are just as good (or better) and just as timely.

I discovered the reason TWRP was not flashing properly... i needed to update to Android 5.01 1st then flash TWRP custom recovery..that all works well now and i have recovery back but just put MID_Changer_03.07.14 on my phone and ran it in recovery - it all worked great but when i checked the MID it hadnt changed so ran again an still no change - i'm wanting to change that too 0P6B1000 (Europe) then the CID to HTC__032	...then i will try to instal the above RUU - does this all sound like the right thing to do? i have been trying to find the right firmware for that RUU but cannot seem to find one or rather don't know what i am looking for - thanks again

Haven't heard of such a method. Can you link to where you got this from?

There is a proven method for changing MID on the M8, and that is not it.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Looks like you flashed an older firmware (really old, as in Kitkat Android 4.4.2), based on Post #10 (versus what you had originally in Post #1).

So its updated back to Lollipop?

Do another fastboot getvar all, and post the current status.

That isn't for the M8. If you look at that webpage's "Source" it links to the XDA One M7 section. That mod is for the M7, not the M8.

You're lucky it didn't brick the phone. I've already stated above in Post #6 how dangerous MID changing can be, if not performed properly. But it seems that you've chosen to ignore that advice.

No offense intended, it seems you are going about things rather recklessly. Already you've flashed an incorrect old T-Mobile firmware, tried flashing the firmware for the wrong version (Verizon) and now tried changing the MID with a mod for the M7. There is a proper process to change the MID on the M8. But I'm hesitant to lead you to that (of course, you can find it yourself - but that's your own deal), as you haven't demonstrated you are capable of the proper carefulness. And frankly, I don't want you messing with things that can easily brick your phone.

My suggestion would be to flash back to 4.20.531.5 firmware (if its not the current firmware) then just leave it that way until T-Mobile releases Marshmallow. Alternately, install a custom recovery (unlocked bootloader required, if its not presently), and simply flash a MM ROM; which should work find with LP firmware. These options are relatively safe, and don't require you messing with the MID.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tange1:
I have a moto pure running 6.0. Recently I ran into an issue with the google search bar crashing every time i tried a search. I went an uninstalled the google app, rebooted and reinstalled. This resolved the crash with google search but started another issue.

I was having the google app being my number 2 battery user with high CPU pretty much spot on matching the screen time - the device was warm and battery life reduced by 3x from my normal. I installed a CPU monitoring app and noticed that the CPU usage was about 15% continuous for the google search bar googleqicksearchbox:search and googlequicksearchbox together take about 15% and don't stop.

I've tried:

uninstalling the google app, reboot, reinstall

cleared caches for the google app

cleared caches for the google now launcher

uninstalled and reinstalled the google now launcher

Nothing resolved the issue until i did this:

If i remove the google app 4x3 widget the CPU returns to normal - battery returns to normal.

So, it appears to be related to the widget. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to resolve this so i can use the widget? I figure I might be stuck with having to factory reset to resolve.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssl-3:
Google App update constantly listens to audio.

You see it too?

There seems to have been an update on 2/19/16 that broke it, and my own device seems to have picked up the update on 2/26. I noticed that the battery was draining very quickly for the past couple of days, even when idle with the screen off, though it wasn't warm or anything as is usually the case when something goes awry. GSam Battery Stats showed the usual mess of inexplicable Googleness chomping at things, using sensors, and being Googley, but nothing grossly out of the ordinary.

And with the screen on, doing the usual non-intensive things I do, I could watch the battery percentage drop precipitously: 4 percent in a few minutes.

I was using Google Now Launcher, and figured that might be related. I switched to a different launcher, no change. Rebooted for good measure and to make sure Google Now Launcher was definitely not running, no change.

Then I froze the Google App in TiBackup, and the problem went away.

I honed into it being Google App by using top. In a terminal: top -t -b 16. Screenshot: i.imgur.com/19bVXsG.png (no link because I'm too n00b here).

Of note in the screenshot is PID 14272. It's got a lot of threads going, which is not unexpected.

What was unexpected is that some of them were listening to audio. The thread names are abbreviated by top, but one of the threads (14582) is MicrophoneReade which occasionally showed some CPU usage. Another constantly-active thread (14581) is MicroRecognitio, a name which implies TTS. And PID 787, /system/bin/mediaserver, was pretty insistent on using CPU as well with its thread (14584) called AudioIn_2D, verifying that audio was being recorded.

All of this disappeared from top when I froze Google App.

To be clear, I don't use the "OK Google" always-listening function because it drains the battery quickly on my device, but I did have "OK Google" enabled on the home screen. However that shouldn't be happening with another launcher that has no (zero) widgets enabled at all.

So it shouldn't have been listening at all, but it was listening all the time. And this was apparently computationally expensive, and thus hungry for battery.

My particular issue seems to be related to the 4x3 google now widget. I can use the Google now launcher just fine, till I add that widget then a things go to hell... I really like that widget...
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckupsco:
This same thing happened to me on my M9 starting on 2/26. It was getting seriously hot (110-120F) all the time and battery was draining at 33% an hour idle. Navigation was also very choppy and slow. Verizon actually sent me a replacement phone due to the constant over heating and factory resets. Once i got my new one I didn't restore from backup and loaded apps one by one. Sure enough as soon as the NOW widget was added, the phone slowed down and heated up.

With the widget off now for 2 days i am getting my usual 12 hours battery and the temp hasn't gone over 100 F.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tange1:
Big news from my perspective. Last night I got a Google app update. Today the widget no longer slows down the phone /no more hot phone. Seems like the update fixed it for me... Time will tell.

It's known that both S7/E variants are shipping with Vulkan support out of the box, I'm trying to find driver version of Snapdragon variant. Recently I discovered Exynos variant of Vulkan driver developed by ARM (thanks to one of the reddit members). it'll be great to see Qualcomm's driver version, what features it has and compare them directly. To find out driver version you'll need to install an app (profilers like AIDA64 or Antutu won't be able to expose Vulkan extensions) VulkanCapsViewer : http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/download.php , run it then submit a log (app should create one automatically) onto their database, so we get all the features exposed just like here (Exynos 8890 comparison to Tegra K1 Vulkan drivers): http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/compare.php?compare=compare&id[128]=on&id[78]=on

No. Private Mode creates a hidden partition on your internal storage. It won't be movable to the SD card.

In the Gallery app select the photos/videos you want to make private and then tap on the MORE button and move to private. It will ask for your fingerprint or PIN to make the move.
