[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Ndmand:
Hi,

I want to unlock the bootloader on my HTC 10. Yeah, I am going to root, but this is a bootloader question. I need to know what gets erased when one unlocks the bootloader. In particular:

1. Does the ROM get erased?

2. Do the apps get erased?

3. Does the backup of the stock ROM (needed for factor reset) get erased.

I understand that app data gets erased. If the ROM gets erased, the phone is going to be inoperable until I install another ROM. Eventually, I want to root, but I would like to have the option of continuing to run the stock Nougat.

Thanks,

Ndmand
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
The DATA partition gets erased... Basically it performs a factory reset on the phone as a security measure to make sure someone else isn't unlocking the device to install malware so it does a quick factory reset so any potential customer information is erased.

I believe an app is removed so OTA fails when they do a system check and that app comes up missing. That last part might be an old method since now they might just do a hash check.

1. No

2. If you got them from the Playstore, Yes

3.Phones don't have a stock backup. Unless you make it, but that required you to be unlocked in the first place.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Ndmand:
Thanks Tachi,

This helps a lot and gives me a comfort level with unlocking. I was afraid I would lose the ROM and be forced to install a custom ROM, which I might do later anyway.

Thank You,

Ndmand
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] MehStrongBadMeh:
Technically, nothing gets erased when you unlock the bootloader; however, unlocking the bootloader changes the decryption key used to decrypt the /data partition. As a result, you have to factory reset the phone as /data becomes unreadable. The ROM itself is in the /system partition, which is not encrypted and remains readable.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Ndmand:
Thanks, that explains it even more. I guess that I should stop worrying now. :good:

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davis the droid:
Okay so, since all the links for AutoREC are broken. I wanted to know, how can I install TWRP on my US990 LG G3 running Android Lollipop (20A firmware)? Is it possible without AutoREC? I know the BUMP'D method will NOT work with Lollipop and the US990 has no flashable Lollipop ROM nor does it have flashable modems... The reason I ask is that I need the lollipop modems and everything installed to flash a marshmallow ROM (so it will be stable) and with KitKat modems it ends up crashing and messing up... So all in all, I need to install TWRP to Lollipop (20A) on the US990 (U.S. Cellular variant).

[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ricanbeans:
I decided I was going move back to stock verizon software from 2.41.617.3 and try out ViperROM. I would use the software I had on hand, execute the 1.85.605.8 RUU, and then OTA to nougat. During the RUU process, I seen on the device screen it was updating the hboot, then acted like it restarted but never powered back on. After letting the device lay dead still connected to the USB for a day, I've removed the SD/SIM, plugged it into a wall charger, tried to power on and hard reset, and getting nowhere.

My question is there a way resurrect this phone using Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader or similar tools? or did I just brick with no return?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
what firmware was on the the phone prior to trying to RUU?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
To confirm, you basically went from the US unlocked N 2.41.617.3 firmware to the VzW MM RUU, correct?

Quick question.

Why did you flash the VzW MM RUU instead of the N RUU?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ricanbeans:
BS_US001 2.41.617.3

Yes you're correct.

I wasn't aware at the time that someone had posted the nougat RUU zip yet and HTC Sync Manager didn't have the nougat RUU available. I had the 1.85.605.8 RUU exe downloaded already from when I S-OFF'd. I've downgraded this phone before from 2.41.605.12 to 1.85.605.8 before no problems using the same RUU exe file. I let the RUU start, went and made breakfast, came back the software was stuck and the phone was dark.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
Very sorry, my friend. Quite unfortunate.

I stick to the sd-card method usually.

But there's no reason I see why this happened to you.

:-/
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
So you had The US unlocked firmware? Did you complete converting it back to vzw cod and mid prior to trying to RUU?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ricanbeans:
yes, right before I applied the RUU. The MID was the same @ 2PS65000 and I switched the CID back @ VZW__001.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
Just sounds like bad luck then. I've done that same thing before with no repercussions.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Spinkness:
Verizon will replace it if they don't know.

I hard bricked mine due to a firmware downgrade. The phone completely died.

But I got Verizon to replace it for free, since they didn't know what I did. And several months later no charge. So yeah, just call them and get a warranty replacement.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ricanbeans:
I called HTC since I bought the phone off Swappa and it's still under warranty. Hopefully they don't get it working and realize what I was doing :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ricanbeans:
Doing a little bit of morning internet browsing and seen this intresting tidbit. I knew HTC Sync caused an ADB server mismatch sometimes in command prompt, but this lil piece of info would have been nice before running an RUU exe. I suppose installing an RUU via SD card is sounds like the safer bet from now on.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
This has been known information for quite sometime.. Nothing new to the 10. Usually one will install hTC Syncvto get the drivers, then uninstall hTC Sync as the drivers stay.

I always run RUU on SD-Card myself because I feel it's the safest way. I'm always afraid of losing power or something and my PC shuts off mid RUU.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
Exactly, as OCD as I am, I have all ruu's on separate 4GB microsd's, labeled and such. I only use fastboot or exe on rare occasions
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Spinkness:
I doubt they will. Most likely they'll part it out or toss it. Not really worth the fuss for them.

I can't even count how many rooted/s-off/bootloader unlocked devices I've replaced, and never had any problems. Sure they say your warranty is now void, but if it's hard bricked that bad, it's not coming back, and they'll never know!
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] hgoldner:
That is a little OCD, but probably should be considered "best practices." A good use for those old too-small 4g microsd cards, too. Good suggestion. Thanks.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bvogt:
I'm looking for one universal remote with a mini qwerty keyboard on the backside that will allow me to control:

1. Amazon Fire TV with Kodi installed (controlled via 2.4g or bluetooth signal)

2. Samsung TV with antenna for over the air channels (controlled via infrared remote signal)

3. Volume control for Sony stereo connected to Samsung TV audio output (controlled via infrared remote signal)

I've found a number of remotes that seek to combine these functions, but none seem to check all the boxes. I thought that I had found one that would work:

http://a.co/78Z8CGm

But it didn't. I couldn't get it to learn my Samsung TV remote. It also had problems correctly mapping some keys to my Amazon TV.

The real selling point of the remote above was that it had many programmable infrared keys. The problem with most remotes I see is that the number of infrared keys that can be programmed is limited to 5. I need 6:

1. Volume up

2. Volume down

3. TV on/off

4. Channel up

5. Channel Down

6. TV input (switches between OTA and Fire TV input)

In addition to those six infrared keys, I also want a mini qwerty keyboard on the backside.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!

[INFORMATION]

​

HTC has missed to include the necessary drivers needed for the Polaris to come to its full potential.

Handhelds affected are the Touch Cruise (POLARIS), TyTN II (KAISER), Touch Dual (NIKI) and the S730 (WINGS) etc., based on the MSM7200 and MSM7500 Qualcomm chipsets. The problem, however, isn't with the chips, but the missing drivers!!!

The engineers and technicians forgot to include the drivers. (That's ridiculous.) Or the company thinks consumers wouldn't notice.

[WHAT TO DO?]

​

- Contact HTC and let them know you are unhappy about these issues

- Contact your mobile service provider and let them know you are unhappy with these issues

- Contact support.ati.com , as they must have a driver for their own chipsets

- Make videos of the issues

- Sign the petition >> http://www.petitiononline.com/tytn2vid/ << (TYTN2 uses same chipset as POLARIS)

- Spread the word

- Write reviews

[STATUS]

​

HTC is aware of this problem and 'promised' a significantly performance-change in their WinMo 6.1 upgrade.

htcclassaction.org has successfully developed a 3D driver for the kaiser yet.

A port of these 3D drivers from the KAISER to the POLARIS are in progress by the Polaris Project P3D

>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426314 <<

**UPDATE**28/09/08

First release of the ported drivers, provided by the Polaris Project P3D

Get it here as .cab:

I will keep you informed about the Fix status, so if we reached our goal, you will find the drivers for the Polaris here.

[Touch Cruise General] MasK:
Guys.. I don't see any video probs on my cruise. I'm using CorePlayer 1.1.3.

I put in full length Divx movies (508x208) & (648x272) and it plays smooth.

My Simpsons episodes (512x384) also smooth.

Desperate housewives episodes (624x352) tend to lag once in a while, but still very much playable. I was told to edit the buffer settings, and it should be better.

Don't think this issue bothers me at all. Yr opinions?
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Let me ask: Did you notice the laggy interface?

Did you notice that the device slows down when you touch the screen?

Did you notice the slow camera?

Did you notice that WMP sucks at video playback?

Sure CorePlayer made the video playback a little better, but hell... According to the specs it should be capeable to produce near PSP like graphics... :mad:
[Touch Cruise General] boart:
the coreplayer 1.1.3 USES grahpic accleration of the orbit!! So of COURSE it is NOT lagging.

Plz use the WMP for watching videos and u will see... AMAZING.. it wont work properly.. and plz.. just read a little in this forum before u post all that stuff next time... and now back to topic...

I WANT GRAPHIC DRIVERS!! i wrote to Ati too.. and they told me, that they will give my request to the right persons... who that is?? i dont know.. but lets hope they will give us solutions!

Complaints must be posted to: HTC, O2, Qualcomm, AMD (ATI), and all the other related companies.

Infos regarding the problem (in a detailed manor - not just the video playback, read htcclassaction.org) should be posted to popular forums.

A general negative criticism must be achived against HTC so their sales would drop, dramaticaly.

[Touch Cruise General] MasK:
Chill dude.. let's not allow your anger to make you rude.

I have read quite a bit around the forums and just know what else ya gotta do to get irritated by the lack of drivers. And yea.. I am aware that the CorePlayer supports Imageon acceleration.

Anyways.. just to confirm. I have experienced slowdowns when I touch it. I've only tried one game (SkyForce) and it sucks.

Overall interface speed doesn't bother me that much. It's not like it's got Aero or something.

I haven't tried WMP. It's useless now that I got CorePlayer.

Camera is slow mainly under low-light conditions. This happened on my Atom/hp6828 too.. so I'm not too surprised.

The fact that it can play PSP-like graphics and we can't experience that... sucks too. I would want the drivers too, but it's not like I regretted my purchase.

shaowoo,

I did not re-encode the videos. I've played them as they were. If you wanna encode them, try a different codec. I use TMPGEnc and select DivX coded. It works on CorePlayer.

O2's opinion on the situation

I sent as detailed a message to O2 as was possible using their really crappy character-limited web email form. The telephone customer support wouldn't even let me talk to tech support. I tried phoning over 10 times - same every time.

Anyhow, I at least got a reply via the webform today:

______________________________

This email is with reference to your query about the drivers for your O2 Xda. Orbit 2.

Im sorry but we wont be able to ask HTC to release the drivers for the O2 Xda. Orbit 2 (HTC touch cruise), or an SDK to allow use of the Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset with ATI Imageon support.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience that may have been caused.

For further details about O2, please visit our online Help Centre at:

http://www.o2.co.uk/help

-----------------------------------

not very helpful... I replied with this:

_______________________________

I was wondering if you could expand why you are not able to ask HTC for drivers?

Is it because you are unable ask HTC about this problem due to legality or other restriction, or is it because you refuse or will not ask HTC?

I want to have a definitive answer that I can feed back to the growing online community of Orbit2 users (as well as much larger base of HTC Touch Cruise users). Once we know why the regrettable situation cannot be moved forward through O2, we can try and get drivers from other routes, but we must first catalogue reasons and responses.

Thanks very much for your help so far. I'm looking forward to your reply.

------------------------------------

Its always best to be polite, but I'll just have to wait and see what they say. Will post back here as soon as I get any more details.
