[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vijn:
OK, this is slightly above my pay-grade. While I've read up on it it always seemed too complicated to try in the past, but this is as good a time as any to learn. Any way you can point me in the right direction on this? Not sure how to do this. I assume I should use the original sprint RUU.zip?
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dottat:
Use the original zip and the instructions/tools provided here (https://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/tool-universal-htc-ruu-rom-decryption-t3382928) to extract your RUU into the basic partition files. Then flash each one using fastboot by name (eg fastboot flash system system_1.img etc)
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vijn:
Ok, will try that. You wouldn't happen to know where I can find the zip would you? I always used the exe cause that's what was on the htc site. Not sure where the actul RUU.zip file can be found. I assume I can use the one found here: https://xdaforums.com/sprint-htc-10/development/ruu-sprint-htc-10-1-24-651-3-t3379257

And dottat, OMJ, thanks a lot for your help. It's people like you who make this community what it is.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vijn:
Hey OMJ,

I grabbed one of your RUU.zip files from your repository on xda ( https://xdaforums.com/sprint-htc-10/development/ruu-sprint-htc-10-1-24-651-3-t3379257 ). The zip files, when extracted, turn into like 25 zips. When I extract 0.zip (in order to extract the entire array) I get a file corrupt errors for a few of the files. Am I missing something? I don't think the files are actually corrupt but this is a recurring error I've gotten on a number of different .zip files that have the string of multiple zips within them. Got any ideas?
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] OMJ:
u download the 2PS6IMG.zip? If so, u can't extract, it's encrypted. You would need to decrypt using the tool that dottat linked u

BUT, don't waste your time, aint gonna work, u already tried manually flashing the boot.img & u got the failed, s-on error

to confirm, from download mode, u used this cmd? fastboot flash boot boot.img if so, I'm fresh out of ideas.... :(

sending 'boot' (47977 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.606s]

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)

finished. total time: 1.656s
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vijn:
Ya, that's what I'd done, but strangely this time I got a different error:

sending 'boot' (47977 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.529s]

writing 'boot'...

(bootloader) HOSD CL#857212

FAILED (remote: 9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL boot and bootloader isn't BL_UNLOCKED)

finished. total time: 3.551s
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] OMJ:
odd...u can certainly try to flash the system.img but it will probably give the same error...I can the complete single system.img if u want me to upload or u can use the decrypt tool to decrypt the ruu & flash the individual system imgs
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vijn:
Would you mind sending the system file? I haven't managed to get the decrypt tool working yet.

[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] smvueno:
Saw your post while looking for an sim unlock for my Japanese HTC 10.

Couldn't resist reading more about your problem tho.

First idea but quite dangerous if done incorrectly..

Try and see if you can change the cid in the ruu.exe with a HEX editor?

If that doesn't work, next try and change the cid of the ruu. zip.

Might be a long shot, but if the files cid's aren't encrypted it might work!
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vijn:
THAT, is very interesting! I mean the logic is sound. Whether it'll work or is doable, i have no idea. The issue for me is, I have no idea how to edit it or where to even find the CID in either the exe. or zip.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] smvueno:
I always use this HEX editor, https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

Open the RUU. exe with your hex editor.

Use search, find the cid that your phone is supposed to have.

Dont add or delete anything, just replace the two mixed up letters so it looks like the one you got now on your phone.

Do this for all instances through out the whole ruu. exe.

Save, install it.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vijn:
Well, I tried opening the exe with the editor. Ran a search for the CID, but it doesn't show up. I also see a bunch of special characters so I don't believe the editor is reading the file properly. Same thing happened when I tried the zip file. You can see for yourself in the attachment. Doesn't look right. I ran a search for spcs and you can see what it picked up on the right column in the pale blue.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] smvueno:
Did you try searching for the whole cid, not just a part of it?
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] vijn:
Ya I did. But do you not find the special characters to mean there's been some sort of corruption in opening the file? Dunno.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] smvueno:
Haha no this is usually how it looks when you open files. In this mess, sometimes you can find text to edit.

Ok, so something weird happened today. For some reason, I've been banned from the official forums for "spam". The notice says to contact a forum admin, but there isn't any way to do so. I have never posted any spam so I'm not sure why this happened. If an admin from the official forum sees this or if someone would please contact an admin, I would like to discuss and appeal this. Thank you. :D

Hi I just read this message, you can't be banned or you wouldn't be able to post this. If you can forward any email/message you got then I will look at it for you

[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] ZiQn3zZ:
I'm not banned from XDA. I'm banned from the Official Phoenix OS Forum. But, their forum is a bit lower quality than XDA. There's always spam bots posting things about medications, women, travel trips, stuff in Russian, etc. As I said above, I wouldn't ask here at all, but even though the message says to contact their forum admin, they have no such way to do so.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] xanthrax:
you should have said so ... other forum registrations / bans / issues aren`t our area of interest though you may be able to find someone to guide or advice you

Thread moved to this q&a section now , this doesn`t belong to Miscellaneous Android Development

Thanks for understanding

Dan
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] ZiQn3zZ:
If you read the OP, I did say so. I started this topic in the correct forum. This is the only other place that some of the users/mods of Phoenix OS use besides the official forums. Therefore, it's the only place such an issue would be seen and sent to the correct people. Please, move this topic back to where it was.
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] xanthrax:
This threads turns out to a "who's right and who's wrong" thread and becomes useless

Again, you did not mention on your first post which forum you seemed to be banned, you said "official forum" and we thought you were talking about xda official forum not that external website where, read what I've said above

And second, Miscellaneous Android development is NOT the correct place here on XDA to post questions /issues whatever because you think it is more visible , this is the place

I might also remove the link from your post as the xda rules does not allow advertising or encouraging the users to participate or whatever on external websites for mobile phones

If this discussion derails more than has been already happening , can be easily closed as irrelevant for the XDA's forum topics

You may use the pm function for further concerns

Thank you
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] thor486:
I installed LOS on my Axon7 with 4G/128GB Rom, since the last two or three updates I'm having heavy battery drains issues, the phone is nearly died after 3 hours of use.

I noticed that google play services is the most battery consuming app with an average 22%, I'm trying to understand if it's a LOS issues or it's a nougat bug.

Does someone know a fix or is having the same issues?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nfsmw_gr:
I hate to be that guy but most likely the answer you are looking for is out there already.

Google search or search xda-developers for a guide to optimise battery life, you'll most likely easily find out what's causing this and fix it by yourself.

I assure you there are multiple guides, I fixed my issues with the above method.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] thor486:

No actually, I just assumed naturally that you were asking here, you certainly didn't write that you did search and couldn't find a good solution.

Sorry but one guide is for Sony devices and the other one talk about Amplify, I can't use it since LOS is based on Nougat...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nfsmw_gr:
Doesn't really matter if it's for sony, most of the thing it mentions you can use on any device, same goes for amplify, you can't use this exact part but you can use most of the rest.

Geez don't be negative and give it a go, you ask for help and then turn down what's offered to you.

Get root and install better battery stats and wakelock detector. Give them both root rights. Wait a bit and one of them should show you what is keeping your phone from deep sleeping.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussi] PHAMOS1:
After spending last night looking over the internet trying to find out how I would get VR apps working on my Gear VR I accidentally disconnected the USB C clip a minute ago. I then realized that its a 2 click clip. It clicks once to connect to the headset then again to actually plug into the USB part of the headset. So i only let it click once started the Cider Point Roller Coaster app form the Play Store and i will be got dam it worked :)

I shook the headset pretty hard to see if the phone would fall off it didn't but i still wouldn't doing any flips with it using just one click. I hope this is useful info.

Apps i tested:

Cider Point Coaster

Safari Roller Coaster

I also looked at some of the demos in the Cardboard app so i am assume other Cardboard apps work but like i said i just found this out.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussi] ambress:
As I don't foresee using any phone other than my S8+ in my Gear VR headset, I modded the extra USB B adapter to support using my phone with VR apps that I can't run through the Oculus framework. The mod was one of simply removing the USB circuit card from the adapter after removing the 4 screws holding the adapter together, then reassembling it. Swapping out the adapters is very easy to do on an as-needed basis. The drawback is the lack of battery charging support since that is performed through the USB connection.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
This is the battery I used and I'm very happy with it's performance.

Getting the back off the phone is pretty easy if you use a hot water bottle to warm the back for about ten minutes first. It helps soften the glue holding the back on. Use a magnifying glass to ensure your torx bit fits properly, and that you are holding it inline with the screw head. If it is tilted, you are likely to strip the screw.

Replacing the main board holder will make the process even easier. You'll need a *good* #3 (some phones need a #4) torx bit. Using the cheap ones that come with replacement parts will likely strip the screw heads. I use this set.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigM69:
Yes , thank you for the link! I usually use a hair dryer to loosen the glue and its much faster, I'm careful not to get the back to hot though. Thank you for you're advice!

How has Nova Launcher been going? Do you notice if it's any smoother/less resource intensive than the native launcher?

Also, you mentioned about Netflix and potential root problem. Have you been able install Magisk or some other root hiding app on this box? I would like to get to systemless root but I don't think I can "unroot" since my box came pre-rerooted.

Would love to know what other tips or feedback you have for this device. Thanks.

Just updated to Firefox 55.0.2 on Samsung Tab-A, stock device, using Google Playstore. This has completely broken Firefox, I cannot even open a bookmarked page. Tried all the usual tricks. I notice that the "settings" menu option is grayed out, and pressing "quit" menu option in Firefox does nothing. Application Manager says Firefox version is 55.0.2. This update of Firefox has basically *bricked* Firefox. I cannot even open a bookmarked webpage. Confirmed: I cannot open *ANY* page! Version on Google Playstore, where I updated, says version is also 55.0.2 (date Aug. 17, 2017). I just updated Firefox this morning. Previous version was 40.0.0.3 which worked well, and would play Flash video (with the last Android Flash driver Adobe made). I use (used..) the Tab-A + Firefox as my daily, go-to device, carried it around, linking to Wifi, trading, banking, email, etc. Firefox has all these critical bookmarks for me. This update has basically destroyed my device, as now, I can't even open a webpage! (Confirmed via Chrome that I have full web access, it works fine - EXCEPT, Chrome will not play Flash video, so I have NO access to my library of .flv videos. Arrgh...) I also had ABP installed on Firefox 40.0.0.3, and it worked well.

Posting this as warning: If running older Firefox 40.0.03 (which works well on Android 6.0.1), do NOT upgrade to 55.0.2 at this time. Date: Sept. 13, 2017.

Hi, Can you tell me, what are the smallest Pocket Pc Phone Edition availables? Thanks.:(
[General Topics] cushcalc:
Smallest Pocket PC Phone

Excellent question!

And I assume you do mean Pocket PC with touchscreen only, not Smartphone w/o touchscreen, right?

O2 XDA Atom? AXIA A308? (don't know if this ever came to market)

Since I don't find myself using slideout keyboard all that often, the smallest thinnest touchscreen phone would be very interesting to me.

But do we judge by width x height, or by total volume?
[General Topics] Thyraz:
Smallest in complete volume should be the HTC Touch:

99.9x58x13.9mm

But the smalles to act like a phone, for me results in the width (if it has not too much height/deepth). Because this is what a PDA differs from a normal Mobile Phone.

Cause of that I bought the Touch Dual which is the smallest for me (due to his 2,6" Display)
[General Topics] raymondu999:
Isn't the Stealth even smaller?
[General Topics] Thyraz:
Hey i missed that one, was the stealth available only in asia?

it's only 53mm in the width. (110 x 53 x 22.5 mm)

But its thicker than a TYTN 0_o

All 3 are really small for a ppc.
[General Topics] Cristian2003:
I have also seen the K-JAM, but I prefer a PPC without keyboard but thinner.

Is there a PPC thinner without keyboard? That i can buy on eBay(Cheap, no HTC Flow).

Thanks.:)
[General Topics] Thyraz:
K-Jam is one of the biggest QVGA Devices ever. (and 200Mhz on the sluggish WM5 is really no fun)

EVERY actual Device should be thinner, even if they have a keyboard. :p

What do u mean with HTC flow? Touchflo?
[General Topics] Cristian2003:
Sorry, is HTC Touch. I don´t money to buy this. Atom is very good option and i want to know more cheap models like K-Jam, Atom. HTC Touch is new and very expensive.

To enter recovery in witson units follow the instructions

1. Hold power button for 15 seconds or until the lights of the units flash 3 times

3. Press power button again for 3 seconds and release.

Doing this you enter to recovery menu.
