[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodySword:
Ugh.. I ran over three times and I didn't see serialno? Give me a break. I need more sleep...

I then thought modelid is the same... :D

The MID you guessed is correct. ;)

I censored the serialno in the post above.

So Variant A is when I just want to upgrade to the latest CM, just flash the firmware with fastboot, then immediately after CM again?

Variant B would also be alright, too. The device can be wiped, I have already migrated to stock OnePlus3 with O2OS3.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not as much a guess, as a result of some prior knowledge about the CIDs and MIDs (or call it detective work, if you will).

The MID identifies if its the Euro version, which in this case I can also determine from the CID.

But its good of you to confirm, as sometimes the MID can be modified by a previous owner or vendor. Or CIDs can also be the same for other versions (such as dual SIM - although in that case the product name would be different from "m8_ul" - so another clue there).

Not the same as serial number, which is unique to your individual M8.

Basically, yes.

Method A (relock bootloader, flash signed firmware) would be best if you want to then install CM, but stay s-on.

Method B (relock bootloader, RUU) would probably be best if you want full stock Marshmallow Sense (for instance to s-off).

How you liking that phone? I'm actually pretty curious about it as an upgrade, also.

Obviously, any current "flagship" phone is going to be a significant CPU/GPU upgrade, as well as a lot more RAM in the case of the OnePlus3. And the displays and camera modules in general have come a long way in 2 years. But how is the speaker sound quality compared to the M8? That is really my main concern with the OnePlus3, since sound is important to me. And that is one area where HTC is still striving to be provide a superior experience with the HTC 10 (although of course its much more expensive).

I know the OnePlus 3 just has a single bottom facing speaker, and its not going to match stereo front-facing Boomsound on the M8. But is the sound at least decent and passable; or a big downgrade?

I usually don't like to go off topic like this. But given the age of our beloved M8, I'd say its pretty fair game, as many of us are probably looking to upgrade soon (or have already).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodySword:
So just logic in the end. :D

Relock bootloader. I'm feeling sick... This is what also failed last time.

fastboot oem relock

threw an unknown error or file missing. :crying:

Then the device was basically bricked, it only booted into fastboot with a security warning. If it occurs again, I will post a log. Will happen Saturday or Sunday as I am back to work after hospital amusement... Not related to this phone. ;)

Offtopic

The speaker itself is very loud and can deliver loud sound without distortion, but little at full volume. Much better as the ones in m8. However, the low frequencies are not as defined as with HTC's BoomSound(TM) technology.

In fact, the speaker is so loud and efficient at the mid-range and highs, that notification and ringtone volume level 1 is too loud for work. The only workarounds are low volume sound files for notification or vibration-only mode, which is bit annoying.

Besides that, the display is very bright and very readable in the sun. However, it also suffers from pen-tile fly screen issues. In everyday life it is no big deal but it's noticable. For VR applications I imagine this is very bad. :( I hope they go for S-IPS and 100% AdobeRGB in the OnePlus 4 next time... Not a fan of Scamscum Displays.

I first had the dark grey one, but it has dust between the glass and the AMOLED!! I then ordered the new available soft gold version and did a return RMA. I am currently waiting for the results and refund.

The processor is very fast and the 6GB ram are really a step forward.

However, Oxygen OS still suffers from the "doze" bug, some push notifications are postponed or only fetched when waking the device up. The last update should fix it, but it just got better instead of fully resolved... I hope they will fix this soon.

Oxygen OS doesn't have many ringtones built-in, I miss the Google stock ones. But I grabbed them from CyanogenMod out of my m8 and put them on the internal UFS. :D :victory:

OTA updates are fast and reliable, too.

That is exactly what is supposed to happen. The phone won't boot after being relocked, that is normal and intended.

Flash the RUU, or the firmware I linked previously, using fastboot (whichever method you prefer).

After RUU or firmware, you should see the OS number changed to 6.12.401.4, and hboot should be 3.19.

Strange, I believe the "Full stock, Wipe" fw zips for Sneakyghost's thread should be signed. Try the fw advised by ckpv5 in the previous response.

This won't work on your device. the version number needs to have "401" not "1540". 1540 means its for the Developer's Edition, which is a different CID and MID.

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

If you wait for a long time, and still no response, there isn't much else you can do but kill the process.

It looks like it stalled before sending (much less installing) so it should be safe to kill it. But as with everything else on XDA, at your own risk.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Reading all your posts .. the best route for you is option 2 because option 1 require you to do more to accomplish your goal.. to S-Off

I put the link again for option 2 : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6

After you completed the process, unlock bootloader, install latest TWRP and install SuperSU 2.76, then Sunshine process.

Option 1 was meant for you to update your hboot, once updated, unlock bootloader, install latest TWRP then install CM 13.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need the stock ROM (but with root) to use sunshine.

You only flashed firmware (50 MB), which does not contain a ROM. If you want the stock ROM in order to s-off, the quickest way to do that is RUU (over 1 GB), as I already mentioned (2nd method we discussed). Then unlock bootloader, flash TWRP 3.0.2, flash SuperSU 2.76.

The phone won't boot into OS after flashing stock firmware, by definition. Its just firmware, not a full ROM.

From there, to get back to bootloader, reboot the phone by holding power+vol up (may need to hold for a minute or more). Then once the screen goes black to reboot, slide your finger from vol up to vol down. Don't let go of vol down, until the bootloader screen appears.

From there, continue the process. If you were doing method 1: unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, then CM13.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodySword:
Things in your link done, look posts above.

Unlock also done!

Next step is TWRP...

Wish me luck!

Edit: TWRP flashed successfully.

So now, for S-OFF, lock again, then flash HTC firmware?

Or does it work unlocked?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
AFAIK.. they are modded firmware. Some signed firmware are partial (especially the incremental updates) so the full stock has additional files added .. it is unsigned.

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

That's firmware not RUU.

Since you unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP .. you can restore 6.12.601.4 backup then install SuperSU 2.76 then Sunshine process to S-Off.

Or .. you can install almost stock custom ROM like MaximusHD, then S-Off process.

Both method .. leave the bootloader unlocked.

Currently downloading 6.12.401.4_ckpv5.zip. I hope it's correct? It's from this Post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60211240&postcount=3

Edit: Does SunShine still cost? I can download and start the app for free. But it didn't work because of CyanogenMOD ROM obviously.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
You can start the app for free.. it will check your system for free and when it says it can S-Off your device it will ask $25 to proceed.

Good luck & good night
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodySword:
Wow, I don't even know if the person would benefit from S-OFF, if it would be free, I would be doing it. But yeah, I think I just flash the current CyanogenMOD.

Thank you guys and have a nice day/night whereever you live. :)

Kudos are given!

Best regards from Germany!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I advised early on, that s-off costs $25 US. S-off can be valuable for some purposes, and some folks.

But its not needed for flashing ROMs, updating firmware, root, and a great many other mods. Whether s-off is worth it or not, is subjective. Many will say yes. But my opinion, most folks don't need it.

Mhh... Boot after SuperSU takes ages. Root ist activated in DEV for both Apps and ADB.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You flashed CM13, right? Then just go to Settings>Dev Options and select root. That's it. No need to flash SuperSU. If you did flash SuperSU, you may have messed it up. If it doesn't boot, just wipe (default TWRP wipe) and re-flash CM13 and gapps, nothing else. Then boot, go into settings, and activate root, that's it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodySword:
NOW I understand...

I am so stupid.

I did that but I thought I still need tat SuperSU app...

And this app prompts me to install the su binaries...

Totally unneccessary?

Edit: Back with CM12, SuperSU was mandatory I guess.

But current CM builds do not need that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If your intent is to replace the built-in SU with SuperSU (which I think you did by flashing SuperSU) then I would think you want to keep the binary updated.

I was on CM12 on my tablet (Samsung Tab Pro 8.4) and it worked the same way. You didn't have to flash SuperSU, but simply enable root in Settings.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodySword:
Yeah, it seems that CM13 has a kind of SuperSU-App (I really mean the apk, not the zip!) built-in where you can manage your apps that can get root or not.

I didn't know that. But I remember back then when I flashed the first KitKat CM, this feature was not present at all.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You're quite welcome. Happy to be of help.

Perhaps, indeed. OPO3 looks very interesting. I'm a bit torn with my loyalty to HTC. The 10 looks nice, although I'm not sure nice enough to justify the added expense. But also, the Nexus devices should be coming out in the next couple months, and I want to see what those look like.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
I feel the same way, as the M8 has been the best Android device I've ever owned. However, the new Nexus devices are going to be made by HTC, and rumor has it the larger of the two, the Marlin, will be based on the 10's body. I'm holding off until the release to see the particulars, but it looks awfully promising.

So your device says connected (and can surf the web) but your laptop wont connect?

So is your laptops firewall blocking the network?

Have you tried it over bluetooth, and use the BT PAN option. Select BT in ICS and click connect, and click YES to allow it to be discoverable, then in Vista, click start, connect to, Then click Set up a network or connection. Then scroll down to the bottom option (BT PAN). Click it and it will offer your device's BT PAN, select that and click connect.

Wait for 30 seconds, then open the web.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] erikk:
Thanks for your help; hadn't thought of turning off firewall since it worked with the mogul without doing that. Tried that and it didn't work. Then tried with bluetooth and that didn't work either. Didn't want to use the ATT comm manager on the off chance that they could track tethering usage on it.

And of course it was a stupid thing not to check but something made me try connecting to an IP address and not a URL and BAM! it worked. So I guess I have a DNS problem and not a connection problem.

So now anyone have an idea why the laptop can't resolve DNS but the Tilt can? Should I manually set free public DNS servers on the Tilt? Or on the laptop?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Alemaker:
Vista you said? correct?

Try making the network that Vista sees when you connect-private; if it's public,it'll block stuff
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] erikk:
Yeah, it's already set to private. Still no DNS resolution. I'm going to try using a free public DNS server on the PC. Strange that the Tilt isn't passing thru DNS for me but it seems it is for everyone else.

Well using the free DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) seems to work now and it even seems to resolve DNS faster. I feel better that I figured out how to get it to work but I'm definitely confused as to why it doesn't work by default like it does for everyone else.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jprai:
get tethering working yet?

hi,

i have the same issue. have unlimited data plan on my tilt. no problem with connection on my tilt (although i did not put in all that proxy setting crap att asks you to put in).

anyhow

- installed the htc modem driver on my laptop.

- turned on the modem on the tilt

- created a new dialup connection on my xp laptop

---> question here, what is the "phone number" that should be dialed???

--> for wap@cingulargprs.com, password is CINGULAR1 also

as a last resort i will try using the att comm manager, but like you i don't really want to do it due to any tracking att may be doing...

would be great to hear if loading that local dns resolves your problem, altho it seems kinda clugey (sp?)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Alemaker:
lol-

ya'all kill me.:p

Anything at all,including data; going through any major network in the U.S., is tracked- period. Cell calls,data,internet connections, and even landline calls are ALL tracked in the U.S. now. Thanks to the current administration, EVERYTHING is tracked.:eek:

Alemaker
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] erikk:
I meant tracked in terms of tethered vs non-tethered (not being on a tethered plan; but then I tether about once a month when travelling in airports if that so I'm not worried about it). I know big brother is always watching (especially on AT&T):

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Story?id=3833172&page=1

@jprai I did get tethering working by just changing my DNS settings on the laptop to free servers. I'm not using wireless modem but the Internet Sharing app on the PocketPC (go to \Windows and copy the shortcut "internet sharing.lnk" to your \Windows\Start Menu\Programs directory and then you'll be able to start the app easily). It's much easier to use (well now that the DNS issue was figured out).

I'm still very curious why DNS isn't working for me with the default settings and it does for everyone else but I'm OK with this work-around for the time being.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Alemaker:
Sorry for gettin us off topic with this,(:p but, yup^^^^), and glad ya got tethering working!:D

Alemaker
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Facegarden:
This did the trick for me, thanks!

For those not fully aware of how to do this, connect your phone with ICS, go to network connections (control panel->network and sharing center->manage network connections), right click on the phone's connection (hover over them if you're not sure about which is which... mine said NDIS something or other), go to properties, click on TCP/IPv4, go to properties, and then give it the DNS addresses listed above.

Thanks!

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] StykerB:
I adjusted easy to the size change, getting top left corner back in reach of my right thumb is great. The phone itself is immensely faster than the N6 was with encryption enabled it runs upward of 400MB/s reads and 150 writes. Buttery smooth scrolling and everything, some very light text shows some AMOLED artifacts but the screen goes much much much brighter than the N6's for much easier sunlight usage. Battery seems about the same though passive screen on time (watching video and whatnot) is much better and sleep is better if you leave the screen gestures off. Headphone port is much louder and better sounding overall, and despite moving from front facing speakers to a single bottom firing speaker was actually only slightly quieter but the sound quality sounded better. Color balance on the screen is better and also has a adjustment if you don't like the stock look. Hope all this helped.
