[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What the RUU guide means when they say "s-on only" is that you only need to relock the bootloader if you are s-on. It does

not

mean, it won't work s-off (but I can see how the wording can be confusing). It does work s-off (as you have now seen) but will also work whether the bootloader is relocked or not (s-off removed the requirement to relock the bootloader).

Looked at another way, I can't think of a single thing that works with s-on, that does not work (is prohibited) with s-off. S-off means "security off" and bypasses a lot of security checks. It gives you

more

options, and does not restrict your options in any way (versus s-on).

It looks like you were right. But that really surprises me. I would think that by definition, trying to flash signed firmware and RUU would fail due to wrong MID.

But good for the OP in this case, as not having to change the MID saved a lot of steps.

[MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] , I just saw your post on another thread:

Wow, all this time, and I never knew that! In the 2+ years I've been on the M8 forum, I can think of maybe one time where a person I was helping did not change to the correct MID, and the RUU worked (must have been SuperCID) and I was like "WTF".

Thanks for the enlightenment.

Hello,

I tried last year rooting my HTC m8 bought and used in China, I discovered that all rooting software were not compatible with my particular build and kernel.

Now, without Google play and any update of Android I feel quite limited and I would try back to root my phone.

Specs are:

Serial Number of Device: HC451WM00835

Software Number on Device : 1.0.0.M8t

Radio Version : 1.23.213311231.14G

Current Bootloader Lock Status: M8_TL PVT SHIP S-ON

Hboot Version from HBoot Screen : 3.19.0.0000

Do you know if there's any chance nowadays to root it?

Thank you,

I agree but I think they probably pushed out what they had at the time...

It was a large amount of waiting for this device, around 6 months from showcase to release....

The person I bought my phone off said it was because ASUS had some supply problems back in August/September., though that could've just been to fob me off too....

Though saying that I really had to pick and choose. Over here in Oz the Zenfone 2 was ever really released, not in stores or through the telco's so this awesome phone won't even get a 2 second blurb in any of the media again... So much for local warranty.....

Hi guys do you want to convert your android device to a desktop pc? Definitely yes! That's why you are reading this post.

So here's how you can do it.

Note- It's harder and unstable to use a desktop pc on a small screen device so I recommend to use a big screen device Or the best is to connect your android device to a monitor using a hdmi cable for an amazing user experience.

So first install a app called " leena desktop ui". This app is a launcher but its comes with some of his own apps inbuilted already in the launcher like Youtube, Google Drive, Youtube, Etc.

Now open the app and then you can see that your device has been converted into a desktop pc.

You get an app drawer in this launcher where you can selsct you android apps and leena apps and also a file manager to access you documents and stuffs.

You can download the app from this link- https://goo.gl/lIChH1

And you can also watch my video tutorial on this topic.

Reason is that i just want to stop or disable the uninstalling the specific app because my girl friend uninstall most of applications which are used for social media like Whatsapp or IMO or Hangout because she's doubt i might be cheating on her and she thought i deleted all conversation or history and media which is being shared and i don't like to argue with her because i love her.

Moreover i tried many method's like protecting my application's from an app which is downloaded from Play Store like ( App Lock)

but i allowed to be uninstalled after confirming the Pattern or PIN code.

I want my application not be uninstalled by system.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey all!

I have an HTC One M9. I tried to run an RUU for my phone earlier, but the RUU gave me an error 155. I searched for the solution and found that I needed to lock my bootloader. I locked my bootloader and got the relocked status. I tried running the RUU again and it still gave me the same error 155.

Unfortunately, relocking the bootloader wiped the android system and the TWRP recovery too, so that when I try to go into recovery mode, it gives the error, "Failed to boot into recovery mode."

I tried flashing a zip file using fastboot oem rebootruu and then, "fastboot flash zip rom.zip", and it gives an error like

"target reported max download size of 800000000 bytes

Invalid sparse file format at header magi"

So, I'm totally stumped now :P

If anyone can present any solutions, I'll be extremely grateful.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimenezboy:
Hey guys, I have a VS980 that was wrongly flashed with the wrong variant of CloudyG2 3.3, causing it to boot to Fastboot mode only. I used guides available on these forums that said I needed to flash the laf.img partition back to the phone to get it out of Fastboot mode but it now went back to Fastboot mode with a greyish-black screen, it did not even show the LG logo. I know it went to Fastboot mode because running the the "fastboot devices" command returned the phone identity. I then used SRKtook 2.1 to fix the Recovery, and this led to the phone going into QHSUSB 9006 mode. I then used the same SRKtool 2.1 to fix the QHSUSB 9006 issue. The tool successfully completed the process and even prompted me to flash the stock firmware, which I did using LGFlashTool 1.8, and one of the available TOT files (V26A). The flashing process completed successfully with a PASS. The phone powered on okay but with the same greyish-black screen as from before. I know the flashing process completed successfully because the the phone charges okay, the touchscreen works (even with the greyish-black screen I can unlock the screen, I can press the Home, Recents, and Back virtual buttons), and calls made to the SIM card inside the phone will ring). The PC recognizes the phone in MTP mode with Device Manager reporting it as being an LGE MTP Android Device, sometimes as a LG VS980 4G. My issues are these:

- What is it with the greyish-black screen? Anything I can do to rectify it? By the way it is not an LCD issue because I have repeatedly swapped screens from my other LS980 to the VS980 and from the VS980 to the LS980. On the LS980 both LCDs work perfectly.

- I can't get into Recovery mode. All the normal Volume Down+Power combo does is power on the phone. What can I do?

- I can't get into Fastboot mode. What can I do?

I am in the process of downloading every VS980 stock firmware I can find (10B, 11A, 26A, 39A, 24A, 27A). I will flash each to the phone, hopefully there'll be one that will fix my phone.

looking for factory firmware for this 7" RCA RCT6773W22B tablet came with lollipop
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CakeWithoutEggs:
Greetings members of XDA! I'm new to posting here, although I drop in here sometimes to look at ROMs.

Recently, after having the contacts under my screen cleaned (due to a ghost input problem which doesn't seem to be related to this, the cleaning didn't really fix the ghost inputs anyway), I factory reset my Galaxy S5 through the regular backup/reset settings. However, part of the way through the reset, my phone shut off. I don't know whether the battery lost contact for a split second, or if it just crashed, but it started booting again straight away - except this time it booted into the recovery of its own accord, without me holding down any other buttons. The recovery (TWRP) just bootloops, and the "TeamWin" screen just flashes constantly. Removing the battery is now the only way to turn the phone off, and whenever I turn it on or charge it, it boots into the recovery and the recovery just bootloops. Although the regular ROM is not accessible (it just goes to the recovery), Download Mode can be accessed normally.

I had a look at my catlog (thankfully I had USB debugging enabled before this fiasco), but it only offered me this after starting the daemon:

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: could not load library "libc.so" needed by "/sbin/sh"; caused by library "libc.so" not found

I also used ADB to pull /tmp/recovery.log, here's the pastebin code: U89RQTkZ (I can't post the link itself, but this is the code for it after pastebin's URL)

The pastebin above is just one repeat of the attempt to boot inside the bootloop - the log itself is comprised of many subsequent attempts to boot, with identical results in the log. (I know the log says the date is 2014, that's probably because I had aeroplane mode on before I did the reset.)

So, can anyone help me fix this? I am inclined to try reflashing my recovery (TWRP again since my most recent nandroid backup is in that format), but I want to know if anyone here has a better idea before I start doing potentially irreversible damage to my phone.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSmit268:
Flashing your recovery won't damage your phone in anyways. The best method I can recommend is to flash your phone's stock rom using odin. Usually flashing stock is helpful after soft breaks and bootloops. Flash stock and then you can install twrp and restore your backups. And about those ghost inputs. Sometimes with phone being charged with a non-standard cable those ghost inputs will happen. And if your phone gets wet this issue will show up. Try using another charger and cable and see if they happen again or not.

My perfectly working Galaxy S5 was put for charging at night and the phone wouldn't turn on in the morning. I tried restarting it and at times the "Samsung Galaxy S5 - powered by Android" flashes for a second or so and then the phone dies again.

I tried rebooting it, unplugged/replugged the battery, removed SIM and SD Card and tried to start the phone but nothing happens. On charging the phone, the screen does come up to show that the phone is being charged and as of now it is 100% but still won't power up.

I must add that the phone has had its share of falls during the 2 year usage and there is a small discoloration / crack like effect on the top left hand corner of the screen which however cannot be felt by hand by rolling my finger on the screen.

Samsung guys claim it a screen problem that needs to be replaced however an independent repairer is confident that screen is OK and it has something to do with some other hardware of the phone. He even removed the battery and connected a multi meter to the point on the phone which connects to the battery, tried starting the phone and the meter would show some current getting drawn and then come back to zero. He claims phone is not able to draw current from the battery.

Any clues what could be the problem and how to rectify it. I have loads of data I don't want to lose on the phone.

Interesting piece of information.

I took the phone out almost after 8-9 months today. Tried to power it on by pressing the ON/OFF button and the phone came back to life without a glitch. There was almost 52% charge, date and time were spot on. I couldn't recall the pattern, as a result I couldn't unlock the phone.

I decided to wait for a while for my partner to come back and put in the correct pattern password and left the phone unattended for a while. In between I kept checking and the phone remained ON all the time.

Unfortunately, I decided to charge the phone while my partner returned. After half an hour or so I pulled out the charging cable and checked the phone for 1 last time. Phone was still ON. I left it untouched for a few more minutes.

As soon as my partner came back I told her about the phone coming back to life. She pressed the ON/OFF button to bring up the screen and key in the pattern but the screen just didn't come up. I have tried number of times since then but nothing.

Phone is dead again atleast as of now. Thinking of keeping it back for few more months and will try again.

In the meantime any sort of help will be highly appreciated.

Please note more than the phone I am keen on the data inside it. Need to recover it.
