[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Is MIUI compatible for the Sprint variant of the M7? I don't think...probably only with the gsm variant (to confirm).

Flashing the 6.23.651.10 RUU should fix your phone.

sir i dont need miui.... please help me so that i can get the mobile in working.... i have downloaded the link.... please make my phone like ptrevious htc rom
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
I know, what I was saying is that your phone most likely bricked simply because its not compatible with MUI. Always check if the rom you want to flash is compatible with your variant.

Follow instructions provided in my previous post (see link).

respected sir, i have downloaded RUU_M7_WL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_6.23.651.10 exe file.... tried to run as admistation but nothing happening.... any other process?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Do you have the MS Visual C++ redistributable package installed on your computer? It's required for the ruu to work correctly. If not download and install it (from Microsoft website). If it's still not working after that then you could try a ruu.zip

respected sir, only the issue is the main camera is not taking focus and the images are not clear..... any solution sir?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
If your phone still have some issues after flashing a RUU then its hardware issues. Flashing a RUU should fix any software related problems so your camera chip is most likely defective.

sir please reply... i really want your help...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Be patient my friend, no need to ask my help 6 time in the same day, one time is enough and I'll answer when I can, I wasn't ignoring your post :p

Are you using the same usb port as the first time you've flashed the ruu? Try another one or maybe another computer. I don't see any reason why the same ruu wouldn't flash again if you're firmware is still the same version and your bootloader relocked... Keep trying flashing the ruu. Make sure to use usb 2.0 port directly from your computer (avoid external usb hub). If you are using a desktop computer use the port on the back (the ones from your MB).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
ok sir i will do it.. but there is temperred logo also.. i thought its the reason.. and its s-on... last time it was s-off
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
no sir.. same prpblem.. not flashing.. tried another xomputer and another usb pirt too...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Why is the phone now s-on? Wasn't a good move... The tampered flag isn't a problem. Are you still using htc_fastboot.exe?

What else, the ruu flashed fine so your phone should be working now?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
S-on??? Is it okay????

can u please suggest me should i root or not rpot the phone?? can u please auggest me any custom rom?? i like miui... please suggest me a rom other than this htc rom
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
you just told me that it wasn't a good move :( will you suggest me to root the phone??? and can you please suggest me a miui rom??? i really like miui...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
S-off is better (easier to deal with the phone when there is something wrong) but now it's to late. Returning back to S-off will cost USD 25$ (Sunshine S-off), the only way to achieve it on your hboot version.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
but you can guide me.. i onow its possible by ur advice..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The best advice I can give you is the keep your device as it is right now. I think this will be easier for you as there is not as much development for the sprint variant as the international one. All roms/recovery/kernels made for the international variant are not compatible with sprint.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
why don't you guide me to install any other rom or ruu so that i can get s-off and other than this htc rom ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
still i have not rooted the device.. and hve not installed twrp.....
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The only way two achieve S-off is by using the sunshine app like I've said above and this app cost 25$. You can't flash another ruu than that one you've just flashed because your phone is s-on and anyway flashing another sprint ruu mean downgrading since this one was the latest version. If you want to flash a custom rom it's up to you just make sure that you are flashing custom rom made for the sprint variant using a custom recovery also made for the sprint variant.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
then please suggest me the ruu sir... i am ready to flash... after that i will root and install tqrp.. then i will install a rom which u will suggest
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You've just said a few post back that the ruu flashed fine so why flashing it again?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
bcoz u told me that s-off is better... so i want to flash another.. and want to ise any other rom.. please suggest me..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
give link sir :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
OK I'm going to explain it one more (and the last) time. Your phone is a Sprint variant so you can only flash Sprint Ruu on it. The one you've flashed today's was the most up to date version for sprint and since your phone is now s-on(s-on /S-off isn't related to the ruu version you are flashing) this ruu was the only possible ruu you can flash on this phone: since this was the most up to date version, flashing another one = downgrade. It's only possible two downgrade when S-off. Even if you achieve S-off (again the only way to S-off is Sunshine app for 25$ not by flashing a different ruu) you will only be able to flash older sprint Ruu, not any other ruu since, again, Sprint variant will only accept sprint Ruu. The only link for a ruu I can give you is the same ruu you've already flashed successfully earlier today,and you already have it on your phone and your computer.

Should you root the phone? I don't know, do you need root? If yes then root it if no then don't root.

You want to flash a custom rom? That's fine just make sure you're using Roms and recovery for the Sprint variant (m7wls) not for m7_ul. Alla Roms fort the sprint variants are in the sprint htc one forum, not in this section. Is MIUI available for sprint, I don't know you'll have too check that yourself either on MIUIs website on in the sprint htc one forum.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
ok sir thanks a lot for guiding me.. thank you so much :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
sir i have rooted the phone.. but can u give me any solution to remove the tempered from the bootloader ??
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Removing the tampered flag require S-off
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipankar.c2bs:
thanks for your support sir.....

i understood that there is no way to get s-off without sunshine(usd25)

i am thank ful to you.... you are very much helpfull
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
exactly, on this hboot version, the only way to have S-OFF is Sunshine S-OFF

Did you find any possible solution for unknown baseband (No Signal) issue ..???
[Device Repair] The_Pascuzzi:
Phone: LG G2 AT&T version (D800), unrooted, stock (no custom recovery), wifi off (but phone will automatically connect to home network if wifi can be turned on), not sure if usb debugging is on

What exactly I'm trying to do: get files and data from my phone to my PC (e.g. photos, contacts, notes, music) for later transfer to a new phone.

Details of the problem:

- The phone is pattern locked.

- The screen is cracked and totally unresponsive to touch.

- Upon pressing the power button or USB connection, the screen displays the lock screen. However, only about the top third of the lock screen is visible on the lower part of the screen; only the top row of the lock pattern grid is shown.

- Upon USB connection to mouse via USB OTG cable, the screen displays only the first frame. That is, it will display where the cursor was when the display was turned on, but not any subsequent movement of the cursor.

- Upon USB connection to PC, the phone enters MTP mode. However, when attempting to access the phone's files from the

PC, nothing is displayed, because the lock screen has not been bypassed.

I'd very much rather not let go of the data on my phone, so I hope someone can help. Any thoughts?
[Device Repair] GuestK0087:
Get a micro USB to OTG cable and connect a wired mouse. You can then use the mouse to draw your pattern and unlock the device. Then connect to PC and recover your data.
[Device Repair] The_Pascuzzi:
Thank you for your reply, but I've already tried that.

At this point, the only other thing I can think of is those 5-in-1 OTG adapters that allow simultaneous mouse input and HDMI output, so I can see where my cursor is pointing via TV. The thing is they're hard to come by around here. They're not exactly cheap, either.
[Device Repair] Droidriven:
Depending on the method required for your model number, you can try rooting and/or flashing custom recovery, use the custom recovery to create a nandroid backup and extract the data from the backup(backups made in TWRP recovery are almost impossible to extract valid data from), or while in recovery you can try using adb to pull the data you want or even do an adb backup then extract the data from the adb backup using something that can extract .tar/.rar files. You could even use adb with root to delete/modify the data stored for lockscreen then you can probably connect to PC normally and transfer whatever you're after.

Vendor link

Hi do you have the link to the vendor file that was used?
[Nextbit Robin] noonebhargav:
Is this ROM stable?
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
Seems to be a new 7.1.2 (04-07-17) build for ether on the official site. is this stable? I just ordered my robin and was wondering if you would recommend the build as im going to be flashing the device and trying many things out as soon as i get it this Saturday
[Nextbit Robin] keredini:
I'm on this build. It's pretty stable, I've had a few random reboots, but nothing major. I switched from Omni, where i was getting constant freezing / reboots (although that is supposed to be fixed now). Performance and battery are on par with Omni.
[Nextbit Robin] ACViperPro:
The freezing and reboots has been fixed. But anyways, how is the rom? Is there more customization and features on Dirty Unicorn 7.1?
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
Just flashed the 04-14-17 RC build and loving it! I got my robin and updated to the 7.0 firmware and then went straight to this. I was so excited I even made a batch file to make the bootloader unlock process and twrp flash automatic from my p.c a day before hand :p

I've got to say the experience I've had with this ROM and this device so far is just amazing. The colors of the device match and blend with many ui elements if you set it up correctly.
[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
It would be neat to see the four led lights get used for battery level indication on the robin while charging. I.e 1 lit up led represents 25% battery level and so on. Just an idea :3

Hello,

I am currently running th offical v11.3 - 7.1.2 build & Bean Gapps, everthing is smooth & awesome, just have one problem, I keep getting "Google Play Service has stopped errors" Also while listing to music on Google Play, then phone has random rebooted every single time. Has anyone faced this yet ?

Yes i have. Only thing is that du is currently unsupported as the maintainer has smashed their device. I would recommend Omni ROM as a superb alternative
