[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltdownSpectre:
Got my hands on a European M8 (M8_UL) after a terrible experience with the Sprint variant.

Anyway, I forked out 25 dollars for the Sunshine license and it really was worth it. I thought it'd be confusing, like Revone or Firewater.

It's amazing how an app can get S-OFF without any fastboot/adb codes, it literally took 5 minutes.

Anyway, I got S-OFF, changed CID to HTC__001 and am currently running 6.12.401.4 (Android 6.0), but I'm a bit bored.

So I was wondering what other benefits are there of S-OFF other than flashing a different regions ROM?

Also, do you guys reckon that I mess around with Sense 7 and flash different custom ROMs or do I go ahead and convert to GPE? I'm a big fan of Stock Android (huge surprise, my main phone is a Nexus 6), but I've really come to like HTC Sense after the Sense 5.0 update, Sense 7.0 is pretty awesome and way better than TouchWiz on my recently retired Galaxy S6.

And lastly,how long will the M8 last from now in terms of software updates?

Asking about both Sense and GPE, will it get Android N or is 6.0 the last software update for both variants?

Any replies will be greatly appreciated. :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
There is a variety of things that can be done, such as manually flashing different radios, and modded hboots (to remove the red warning text on the boot screen).

S-off allows you to downgrade firmware; and also bypasses the requirement to relock the bootloader to RUU.

You don't need to "fully convert" in order to run a GPE ROM. Just pick a GPE based ROM from the Development section, and flash it like any other custom ROM. Make a backup in TWRP, and you can easily revert to Sense. S-off is not required to do any of this.

S-off is only required if you want to "fully convert" to GPE using RUU. The main reasons for converting, are to get the GPE partition scheme (smaller system partition results in more media storage); and to get official GPE updates. However, you would need to convert back to Sense partitioning, in order to run Sense ROMs (otherwise, the system partition is too small to accept Sense ROMs, and the install will fail).

All in all, it sounds like flashing a GPE ROM is probably the best for your, since it sounds like you may want to switch back and forth between GPE and Sense. If you try the GPE ROM, and decide you like it, you can always decide later to "convert" to GPE fully.

And if you are bored with the stock OS, then yes that probably means you are ready to flash some custom ROMs to mix things up (whether it be Sense or GPE ROMs, or trying both!). As with a lot of things on XDA, if you've thought about it enough to post . . . well that probably means you are ready to do it!

I don't think any one knows this but HTC. And they may not even have decided that yet, depending a lot on their financial standing and whether they have the resources to keep supporting this device (in addition to more newer devices).

From what I can find (don't own the phone), the M7 has stopped at Lollipop, with no official update to MM. Based on that I'd expect the official updates for the M8 to stop at MM, or at the latest N. But again, only time will tell. And even once official updates have stopped, this device will probably still have some decent support from CM and other AOSP developers.

Overall, we've enjoyed some good updates from HTC. In contrast, I'm pretty pissed (as are others) with Samsung for their lack of support on my Tab Pro 8.4. While more popular Sammy devices (Galaxy S phones, Note phones) are getting updated; Sammy pretty much abandoned the Tab Pro 8.4 out of the gate. It had a minor update in the first few months, but never got past the KitKat OS it was released with.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltdownSpectre:
Best reply I've ever read on XDA.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to write me such a detailed post.

Since the phone has a custom recovery, I think I'll start off with ViperOne or ARHD and then move towards GPE eventually when I get bored.

Again, thank you so much. :)

As for what you said about the Tab Pro, it's sad how Samsung is with their devices, the main reason I sold my S6 for a Nexus 6.

I was about to buy one (a Tab Pro) when a friend of mine discouraged me saying Samsung is barely able to update all their phones, let alone the tons of different tablets they release. So I held back, didn't buy one.

However, the Tab Pro has a Snapdragon 800 processor so it should have decent developer support, or at least a working lollipop ROM.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
That's correct, that XDA has been the savior for that device. It not only enjoyed Lollipop support via CM, but even Marshmallow. Probably the only reason I've been able to stick with the device for this long.

You made the right call not getting the Tab Pro. Not just for lack of updates, but mine (and seemingly a significant number or others) suffer from a hardware/battery connection issue where the battery does not always charge to full, but stops at random % along the way; and needs to be rebooted to continue charging.

hey, my friend's M9 was updating and then got into a blank white screen and now it wont turn on. i was wondering if this happened to anyone else and what are the solutions. im also looking for a generic rom to get rid of the carrier apps, does anyone know where i could get one?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arthas92:
are u sure battery isn't empty?

try charging it for 30min-1h then hold vol up + power for 2-3min

if it not help then i am afraid you need open your phone and unplug the battery (i have to do that once after fail flash firmware and battery run out while phone is in blue screen bootloop).

[Blu Pure XL] dkokkos:
Hello Everyone,

I don't know if I am missing something, but since the button on the Blu Pure XL do not light up... I wanted to add the bottom navigation bar with the back home and switch button but I can't!

I have installed Google Now Launcher... Nothing.

I have Nova Premium... Nothing.

Any suggestions?

Thank You
[Blu Pure XL] jaybirdhawaii:
My buttons never light up even if I use another launcher .. if I hold the phone a certain way in the light - i can see them. But I have a general idea where they are so I just press the general area. Most times I hit it .. sometimes it takes a couple of taps.
[Blu Pure XL] dkokkos:
I am aware that the buttons do not light up... i am trying to add the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen (on screen, software), so I would not have to worry about the hardware buttons.
[Blu Pure XL] droidboy29:
I have just done this so it is confirmed working. First off you need to be rooted and have busybox installed. And if you are rooted you have twrp installed so I would recommend doing a backup. Anyway download a app called soft buttons from the play store. Open the app, open menu go down to capacitive keys menu open that and click on disable capacitive keys. Once all the permissions stuff stops popping up on the screen open menu and click on virtual keys menu then click on enable virtual keys. Wait till all the permissions stop popping up on the screen then reboot your phone. Once your rebooted you will have virtual menu buttons and your regular capacitive keys will be disabled so you don't hit them on accident.

There are also options to reverse the process a far as re enabling capacitive keys and disabling virtual keys as I have decided to do because I'd rather have the 1/4 inch or whatever of screen that it takes up.

Anyone can suggest a good tool to create a CAB file that can create (update) registry entry?

I need to change some registry entries automatically by executing a CAB file. Is that possible?

Thanks for the info, however it is confusing.

According to the WIKI :

WinCECabManager is a "FREE" tool

While from its webpage:

It is $99 USD commercial product.

Anyone can explain?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joemanb:
here is a free cab creator

http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/pocketpcinstallationcreator.shtml

but it's overkill for just reg entries

try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=277727&page=4&highlight=makecab

your _setup.xml should have a structure like this:

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="Registry">

<characteristic type="HKLM\SOFTWARE\ArcSoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI" translation="filesystem">

<parm name="DownloadHomeNetworkOnly" datatype="integer" value="0"></parm>

save as UNICODE

use MAKECAB.exe ...attached

at DOS command prompt type:

good luck

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] TeriusPR:
When I run the task it shows me this error and how or where do you make the or find the widget?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] MishaalRahman:
Can you provide a screenshot of the pop-up that shows up when you enter the USSD code? As for the widget, you would have to download Zooper Widget from the Play Store, then create a "Progress Bar" widget and for the number put in the variable that Tasker is setting, as shown in my screenshot. For the min put 0 and for the max put your data limit (for me, it's 5000MB)
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] TeriusPR:
This is the only popup, and then I receive a text message with all the data usage's numbers.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] MishaalRahman:
Since your carrier is sending you text messages, you will have to intercept the text message content in order to get the data you want. My profile won't work for that, but luckily intercepting text message content is rather simple.

Simply create an Event, go to Phone --> Received Text. For the Sender, set it to the carrier's number that they text you from. You can leave the content part blank, or you can input a unique phrase from the text message that always stays the same so Tasker will only trigger off of these texts and not any other texts your carrier might send you. Then in the task, all the data you need to process will be stored in %SMSRB, which holds the SMS text content. Simply split until you get the data you've used each month and then you're golden.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] foxsprout:
Great tutorial! How do you create the widget? Sorry, noob here...

also, what if I want to use different source (other than USSD), like SMS. Since my data usage in USSD only shows unlimited (I'm using unlimited plan with FUP), but when I use SMS, it's showing my left data usage.

Thanks before :)
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] TeriusPR:
The event part was pretty simple but setting the task gave me a little of problem because I'm not sure how to split those variables and what name exactly put in. Do I need something more?

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] vasilis_:
Hey , didnt manage to understand whats the the USSD code you mention at the firsts steps of the guide.

Is it the code before the number of a phone?Of my phone or what? :/
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] svampsson:
It's a "number" you can call. It's different for every carrier but it usually involves a * and a #.

When you call that "number" you get a pup up dialog with some I formation about your sms/phonecalls/data etc.

Only do that if you are not rooted etc. If you use TWRP recovery and are not prompted for a password when booting into recovery, then you have the right image. It does work, the problem is trying to use Custom Recovery to flash SuperSU. Check that thread below.

I just flashed the J image. Installed TWRP 3.0 and got the pin code request. Cancelled it, mounted OTG, flashed SuperSU 2.68, and Osmosis busybox. Rebooted and all looks great. Restoring from Titanium now and Android Pay still works. It really looks like only TWRP needs to be updated. Haven't flashed a kernel yet, I'll let this one settle in for a few days.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickey4mice:
Was your data/storage encrypted before flashing J version? I'm on stock rooted(systemless, v2.6x beta), data/storage DEcrypted, xposed isntalled, TWRP v3.0.0.0. Does flashing J version automatically re-encrypt data/storage?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby janow:
I'm sorry I don't know. I haven't decrypted in quite some time now. I also haven't used xposed in a long time either. I don't ever format userdata or flash the userdata.img unless I absolutely have to. I'm encrypted, systemless, 2.68 SU and twrp 3.0. I'm leery to do anything now until twrp gets fixed for the J build. Although I might flash a J kernel via OTG if there comes one.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Unless something has changed, you will be encrypted after first boot (same for prior releases). You'd need to sideload and flash SuperSU before booting since TWRP 3.0 currently cannot access internal storage on MHC19J.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickey4mice:
I always flash google images sans userdata for every monthly security data, my decrypted data/storage has never re-encrypted itself after first boot before I flash systemless SU via TWRP. But those were done with TWRP v2x, has anything changed with TWRP 3x in this regard?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Are you booting into system or booting into TWRP from bootloader after flashing the monthly factory images?

I was wondering if someone could direct me on how to put Supersu.zip into the /cache as from what I have read so far it is possible to root on mhc19j you just need to move Supersu there as it is not encrypted.
