[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The toolkit hasn't been updated since April 2014! It contains woefully obsolete version of TWRP, and that is probably why some ROMs are failing to flash. Highly advise to update to current TWRP 3.0.

How long have you had the phone, how long on GPE ROMs? Is the firmware up to date?

Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

You can only do this if you have s-off.

You may want to try to RUU back to your stock (probably Sense) version, and see if the random power offs persist.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombo_b:
To me it looks like a hardware fail, most likely a bad battery. OP says it works when plugged in but dies when not.

My guess ,if all else fail ,is to try a new battery
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboxie:
I have newest TWRP installed.

For about 2 years for now. Converted to GPE ever since i got the phone. Yes firmware is up to date.

I can`t seem to manage to make "fastboot getvar all" to work, or i don`t know how.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Be careful with your terminology there, to avoid confusion. From your previous post, you stated you just flashed a GPE ROM.

This isn't the same as "converting" to GPE with RUU, which puts you on GPE firmware, GPE partitioning, etc.

I don't know what that means, if you don't give details on what you did, and the specific results. But I'm assuming you know how to use command prompt to issue adb/fastboot commands, entered the command, and get no response (or device offline)?

If so, check that you are in bootloader-fastboot mode, have HTC drivers installed, or try different cable or USB port.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

I tend to agree that its a hardware problem. But its always a good idea to return to full stock by RUU, to eliminate the possibility its a software issue, before concluding its a hardware problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1) at first go to bootloader

2) connect device via usb cable into pc

3) confirm you are in fastboot mode

4) install drivers through htc sync manager

5) download the following zip

6) at first create a new folder in desktop. then copy zip into that folder & extract.

7) while press ''shift'' right clik on the new folder & select ''open command window here''

8) on the command prompt type fastboot getvar all

[XDA Assist] :
From my first CM experience, I remember a time, where I connected my phone to a computer, went to get.cm, click one or two buttons and watched everything else happen automatically. THAT was an experience worth noting! Perfectly simply and jaw-dropping!

Nowadays, I have to read through several pages of an article, click multiple links, concentrate heavily on the contents, do EXTRA research on google, youtube and other how-to pages, use lots of trial-and-error, work though a bunch of frustration and when I'm lucky, after several hours or sometimes days of work, I can get CM working on a phone. This is unacceptable to a medium-experience user in the year 2016! (Note that I'm not your cookie-cutter idiot being able to repair MacBooks, phones and understanding most things quite quickly compared to normal users.)

1st experience: back in 2013, I believe on my Nexus 5 => Perfect!

2nd experience: S3 neo, 2014: => Horrible! (got it to work, however)

3rd experience: late 2015 on LG G4, waited for a new CM supporting my device forever, although a quick CM was promised. Read though pages and pages of forum threads. Decided not to risk my warranty and get a bad photo app by installing CM rather than an excellent one from stock LG android. (overall, a bad experience again)

4th experience: today on an HTC One M7: Just as bad as before with the exception that I quit out of frustration.

It's absolutely incredible how much effort still need to be brought the the table in order to install CM! I mean seriously now:

1) Installing adb and fastboot (not idiot-proof on Mac OSX)

2) unlocking dev mode on the phone

3) using terminal commands to move files on sdcard (didn't work for me)

4) using bootloader commands on trwp

5) and so on and so on (lots of errors and problems on the way)

These are all not things that people know how to do EVEN IF THEY HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE 1 OR 2 YEARS AGO!!!! What happened to all that simplicity from the nexus 5 2013 era? I know what you are going to say in response to this: "Google/Android makes it much harder to unlock bootloaders/root the phone/and yadayadayaaaa...." But in reality all of this could be developed so much easier to reach a much larger user base. Do you not have any benefits from a larger user base? Do you not want to make CM spread to as many phones in the world as possible? Come on now, you can do SO MUCH better than this!

Well, if you want an elite community with only very few noobies bugging you for support, well then I can understand that. But if not, this thing is just annoying and extremely frustrating!

[Security Discussion] thedrs:
I wanted to know what is the least time consuming method to analyze applications and check whether they are doing some "extra" data collection not required for their defined activity.

In this day and age, large companies like to collect as much information as they can to "optimize ads" (or future implementation of ads when not in the current version).

For example,

When i install applications that use GPS location for their legitimate activity

when they are being used

(e.g., gett (get taxi), or any parking fee paying app), i always wonder if when they are not active, they have a background process that sends my location to some collecting server every certain interval (I don't want to open and close the phone gps all the time, i want to leave it on).

Any suggestions ?
[Security Discussion] mrrocketdog:
if you have root , greenify will stop background processes while app is closed. as far as your real question to analyze what they do ; am not sure.

hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chyme in.:good:

"err on the side of kindness"
[Security Discussion] iwanttoknow:
Hi,

If you have root, XPrivacy could be a good tool to see what an app try to do by using Android rights, because you will have to validate or not, for each asked right.

Another tool without root is Noroot Firewall, because it would indicate if an app try to send data on the Net and where.

If you have root, Network Log would display where an app send data, and from where it receives data. Idem for Android kernel.

So with that, I think that you could begin to have an idea of what your app is doing.

If others could share their knowledge and experience.

Amusons-nous avant tout ! ;)

[Android General] marmistrz:
I'm looking for an Android phone, which fulfils all the following expectations:

Can be rooted and the bootloader can be unlocked [may require manual unlocking]

at least 5" display [may be a little less but not much]

fluidly running Android 5 (may be unofficial but stable) Very likely upgrades to newer Android versions.

And as many as possible from the following ones [assume they're equally important]

Slide-out QWERTY keyboard available. May use BT, NFC, I2C but should be a slide-out. May be be attachable, may be an extra accessory

Drivers decent enough, so as to be able to set up some alternate OS with libhybris.

Easy to disassemble and replace broken parts, especially the broken screen

A notification LED or an AMOLED display (both appreciated but not required)

At least 16G of built-in space (32G appreciated)

Price is an important factor for me. But I use phones for a very long time, (have used my Nokia N900 for 5 years now) so I may treat the phone as a longer-term investment.

I'll probably be spending much time in the terminal, hence I care about the hardware keyboard. I'm a hacker soul ;) I'll probably be using the Debian chroot, ssh, vnc. Linux user.

I don't really care that much about the looks of the phone ;) My phones fall a lot on the floor, so I'm not for an ultrafragile phone.

I need a decent camera (my current 5MP/720p N900 is ok. I don't count the megapixels, more interested in overall quality). Must be a phone.

I'm a Google-skepticist, so have nothing against it shipping Cyanogen, AOSP, etc as long as the functionality remains the same.

I don't do selfies, don't care about the front camera at all.

I know about Fairphone2 which fulfils everything but the hardware keyboard (it was mentioned as a possible extension but nothing real appeared yet). And is quite expensive (525€, plus accessories). Is there any chance it gets cheaper during the next year?

Would you suggest anything? Feel free to ask about my attitude to some functionality, which I care about and which not at all.

Thanks!

As I previously said (according to your previous android version means when phone is dead then whatever is the android version (5.0.2 or 6.0) you need to flash the files.)

For eg.

If (your phone is on 5.0.2) then

you need to flash stock 5.0.2 firmware.

elseif (your phone is on 6.0) then

you need to flash stock 6.0 firmware.

Note: Don't flash wrong files, else it's gonna brick the device.
