[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulriktdc:
Hello everyone,

My neighbor got two of this very cheap Android 5.1 from Wish, which also can be seen here:

Mod edit sales link removed

Info about the phone:

5.5 inch Screen MTK6580 Quad-Core Android 5.1 WCDMA/GSM WIFI Smartphone

He asked if I could change the language to Danish, normally that is no problem, but I had to realize that something simple is not so simple at all.

I can't change it to danish, I can change it to english, but he don't understand that, so it has to be set to danish.

I have tried reading about this problem on the Internet, and I can see this isn't a new problem, when it comes to cheap copy phones from places like China.

I have rooted the phone, and manages to get like 40% of Android tranlated to danish. For me it looks like it have something to do with the layout, but how do I change it?

It seems to be a very difficult process, so I think it would be easier if I just install a new ROM. But I'm not sure what ROM I can use, so he don't get two unstable phones back.

I hope someone can help me solving this problem.

I'm angry
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shewie:
I've seen already this thread suggested by XDA thread locator.

https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/verizon-htc-one-m8-stuck-htc-logo-t3163088

But I'd try to explain as simple as possible the whole situation which happened hours ago.

Don't know what happened but my mothers phone went off and restarted with htc one logo on it and nothing else later.

Power button itself doesnt work and is not responding.

Configuration PWR + VOL UP gives me restart but no recovery mode, giving me sound effect of restarting phone and ONE logo on it without any other reaction whatsoever.

PWR + VOL DWN zero reaction

PWR + VOL UP & DOWN pressed together restarting the phone and then gives me HTC ONE LOGO and nothing else.

when Phone is plugged in to the computer and I'm forcing the phone to restart it shows me new Device on the computer as a CD Driver every time.

So I think there is still hope to get this guy back to life.

It's running on custom rom but unknown version because it was purchased as a refurb from ebay 2 years ago and it was running just fine utill this very day.

I'm absolutely noob with flashing twrping etc so please ELI5 if possible, any type of help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saad.b:
Hey, I had this same problem a couple of days ago. Here's what I did to get the phone into fastboot, from where you can install a recovery, factory reset etc.

1. Hold the power button + vol up button for about 10-20 seconds. This should shut down the phone.

2. Hold the power button + vol down button to restart the phone back into fastboot.

If you can get into fastboot, there are plenty of guides which can help you flash a twrp image. If you want me to give you some instructions on that just reply and let me know. Good luck!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Note that this phone doesn't have download mode (as some other Android devices do); nor is there a button combo to go directly to recovery. But you can almost certainly still get to bootloader, and from there boot recovery. In the current condition, you can get to bootloader by:

1) Hold Power+ vol up (as you have been) to restart the phone.

2) Once the screen goes dark (signaling it is about to reboot) let go of the buttons, and only hold vol down

3) Don't let go of vol down until the bootloader screen appears.

4) If the above sequence fails, its virtually always because the user just didn't get the timing right (either started pressing vol down too late, or let go too early). Just repeat steps 1-3 until you get to bootloader.

Once in bootloader, try to reflash the ROM, or restore a TWRP backup (if you have one). Spontaneously stuck on HTC logo screen is often a result of the OS/ROM becoming corrupt or otherwise damaged, and flashing/restoring the ROM will often fix it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shewie:
Thanks [MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION] I've managed to get to the preinstalled recovery.

Sadly reflashing/factory reset failed few times due corrupted files.

I'm ok with the fact that I lost the data on the phone since most of it was stored on the cloud.

Now I need ROM to flash on the phone thru recovery but I don't know which one would you reccomend.

It's my mom's phone so basically reliabilty and robustness over flashing lights and numerous unnecessary functions.

Version of android doesn't really matter.

Thanks again for help so far.

Can I put the rom I'm about to flash on external SD Card or I have to transfer it thru computer to the phone?

TWRP might be extra helpful or the recovery it's functions are just fine?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I'd need to know more about the phone in order to give any suggestions.

With the phone connected to computer, boot into fastboot mode, and (assuming you have fastboot setup on your computer) do the command: fastboot getvar all

Then post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Also, what version TWRP (if that is the recovery installed)?

You will be able to flash a ROM from the SD card, if using TWRP.

Not sure what is being asked here (can't quite understand). Are you saying that another recovery besides TWRP is presently installed?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shewie:
[MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION] I don't have TWRP but this...

Maybe pictures will justify the real situation.

I don't have the fastboot preinstalled on computer. (yet)

I wouldn't mind link to the pack with "must have" to complete the process
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You have what is called the "stock recovery" or official HTC recovery.

You can't flash anything but OTA updates, or other official (HTC) signed zips with this. You need a "custom" recovery like TWRP in order to flash things like custom ROMs. So I'm curious what you meant before when you posted:

What exactly were you trying to "reflash", what were the exact steps, and the results (specific error messages, etc.).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shewie:
I did the factory reset but it didn't help still stucking at ONE logo like posted initially. So this is basically the situation right now. I was able to get to recovery but nothing else.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Okay, so you're confusing the terms. Factory reset doesn't flash/reflash anything (flash meaning to install some firmware or software to the device). The only thing that factory reset does is wipe user data.

At this point, I'd suggest the best/easiest course of action in the current conditions (stock recovery, locked bootloader) would be to run the RUU intended for your device. Your device is the AT&T version, so the RUU can be found at the bottom of the page (and instructions on how to install): http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/

RUU is a complete factory image. You download to a PC (PC required, won't work on Mac or Linux) connect the phone (booted into bootloader-fastboot mode) then just run the RUU, and it will do the rest.

I'm confidant this will get the phone up and running. Your mom may not like all the AT&T branding and apps, if it wasn't there before, and AT&T is not her carrier (one of the main reasons for these devices to have custom ROM - to remove carrier branding). But we can cross that bridge (if need be), after we get the phone working.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shewie:
Installed Software, downloaded RUU from website provided, turned phone into fastboot before installing RUU.

Something started happening with the phone during installation but installation itself cant be finished, it's an endless process of update, phone is already plugged 3rd hour or so to the computer but the update status remain the same.

Should I try different approach?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It just gets stuck sometimes. Just kill the process, and start the RUU again. It will probably work fine on the next try. It's a bit scary, as it says not to stop the process or disconnect the phone while it's running. But if it gets stuck like this, there isn't anything else you can do.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shewie:
Good News, it's working. But it's bloated to the bones. How I can get rid of the carrier unnecessary software?

I was to afraid to kill the process during update to avoid scenario of bricking my phone completely.

But It's working!

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatville:
Sorry if this has been answered before, I tried looking around the forum and couldn't find a definitive answer about this. Or perhaps people just don't know yet... Anyway, I own a G4 that developed the bootloop and LG agreed to help. I'll supposedly be getting a new replacement phone (mine is a Singapore variant, they're swapping it for a US carrier version instead). Hopefully all goes well and I get a fully functional replacement.

But i'm still concerned. Thanks to videos from CellularDR and others, the exact cause of the defect is known and fixable. If you have the tools and skill to delid the SOC, clean and de-solder the defective materials inside, and re-solder properly (which I don't). I'm sure LG is also aware of the way to fix it themselves if they were so inclined, though i'm not sure if I trust them to apply those corrections properly to prevent the problem from returning. It was initially believed they fixed models manufactured October 2015 and later (serial number beginning in 510). Mine however was a 510 and developed the problem. It can take time for bootloops to start too (mine lasted almost a year and a half), so even a 6xx or 7xx device that works at first may still bootloop later if the proper modifications were not made by LG.

So are newer "fixed" 6xx or 7xx models really fixed and safe from the bootloop? Anyone had any of these fail on them yet? I realize one way to tell- taking apart the Snapdragon SOC and see how the solder looks, but I don't expect anyone would have done this (nor expect them to).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
Nobody really knows.

But I can say that I do not trust any refurbished phone where the mainboard gets replaced!

I believe this is also a hot fix only and it differs from phones produced since 2016.

I own two 603 serials and well I'm a heavy user when it comes to stress test due to development. No issues so far.. But regular backups is a must always ;)

.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatville:
I did see a couple of people in another thread were claiming their 601 G4's bootlooped. So that is troubling to me. Though I also saw someone else claim that there were actually some cases of people lying on here about the issue happening to them (Samsung trolls or something to that effect). I haven't found any posts claiming any G4's with 602 and above are bootlooping.

When I spoke with LG tech support, they said that I would be receiving a replacement phone instead of repairing my original device. Due to it being from a different region. I do not know anything about the "new" G4 they'll be sending back though, except that I think it'll be a T Mobile H811 variant (at least that is the carrier I said i'd be using, they seemed to be allowing me to choose). I don't know if it's going to be a new device or some kind of refurbishment, nor the model number it will have.

I'll have to cross my fingers. And hopefully they honor the replacement and don't find any reason to refuse to help me. I took very good care of the device and didn't go messing with it apart from exchanging the original battery (which went bad for no apparent reason and actually physically inflated, had to get rid of it as it's a fire hazard).
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
I never saw any proof(!) for a 603 or higher device which gets boot looped. Only one refurbished and actually without any proof. That's why I do not trust any refurbished..

The fix was introduced in late 2015 but I personally believe it takes time to change the production process. This means you would get e.g. a 511 with the fix and and also without (I have no proof for it though) and depending on the time required to change all production paths this can take a while.

I believe that you can be save after 3-4 months after the fix was introduced so 603 and later. But well guarantees are elsewhere..

.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
i would say. from 601 upwards it still can happen but no like before with 505-510's seems there a re slim chances it will.

last ive heard was a 603 about 3 of them.. not bad.. compared to the 505's so id say chances are slimmer..
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatville:
My concern with assuming the reliability of 6xx models is the length of time it can take before a bootloop appears. My 510 lasted from January 2016 to May 2017 before it failed. Almost a year and a half. Though I do not know how typical my G4's lifespan was compared to others.

I don't know how typical that length of time is for others who bootlooped, but perhaps the reason so few 6xx devices have failed is because they're not old enough yet. Hopefully we don't see an increasing number of 6xx models failing as the year goes on.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
yes true. about what you say.. but seems that reports are lower. nothing like the 5XX.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draskome:
I've tried to find any accurate information regarding reliability of more recent versions, but haven't found any reliable source.

I had a 506, and it experienced bootloop after 12 months of moderate usage. It was repaired under warranty, and now it's 705 (motherboard was made in may 2017).

I just can't see any logic in producing crippled motherboards almost two years after cause of boot loop is discovered..
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diatomix98:
After 1 year and 2 months, my S/N 601 G4 just got bootloop last week. Threw it straight into the dustbin since that device was imported from the UK

just for the sake of the unlockable bootloader that doesn't exist in Asia.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbob18:
My 511 just started bootlooping. Was able to get my data by setting it in front of my AC but will immediately reboot if it move it away.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kouzelnik3:
Interesting fact is that motherboards usually fail after 1 year and 2 month (most likely). It was the same with my G4.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatville:
The replacement model LG sent me has a 701 serial number, so January 2017. Good. I guess this is the best chance of getting a bootloop free G4 that I can hope for. Though there's no telling if these models are safe either due to the time they can take to break. Can take a year or more to tell (and by then who knows if LG will even bother to help anymore).

At least for now though I once again have a working phone. It's also cooler thus far than my former G4, so maybe they did do something. Plus I now have a custom kernel and overclocking enabled on the big cores (though the custom governor settings might actually be helping thermals).
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Gino76ph:
As regards the P10 Lite my other worry also is the GPU which is the MaliT830MP2. Comparing it with the Adreno 506 (Moto G5 Plus) or Samsung's equivalent do you guys think....

....is the 830 more than sufficient for 3D games, near-heavy multitasking and with game emulators?
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] aburezk:

[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Eurofighter_ty:
Games like what ? Need for Speed No Limits runs without lag on my P10 Lite. PES 2016 the same. No problems. What games do you play ? Maybe I can test them and see how is the experience.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Gino76ph:
The games I'm talking about is the emulator type such as a PSP or PS1 emulators.

A "game" such as Epic Citadel would also be another one that I would be interested to know in terms of fps, etc.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Eurofighter_ty:
Epic Citadel is around 35 FPS. Sometimes 40 sometimes 60 depending on the scene. I will try now a PSP emulator with SEGA Rally.

It works pretty good with around 30-40 FPS but the sund sometimes lags and graphics not :)
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Gino76ph:
Epic CItadel on 35fps is low for me. If on normal/medium/average settings if at all reaches 40fps then pease let me know?

So, any thoughts on emulators like PPSSPP or PSX/PS1 emulators?
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Eurofighter_ty:
I already said that PSP with SEGA Rally runs about 30-40 FPS.

You can't expect high-end performance from a mid-range device. It's A53 at 1.7 and 2.36 GHz so it's not quite powerful.

Epic Citadel on ultra high quality runs at 35 FPS but on high quality is like 60 FPS all the time.
[Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers] Gino76ph:
Are you satisfied with those numbers?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derrickl1990:
I enrolled in the Beta Program, and upgraded to Android O. Everything was great! Until I rebooted, things were acting funny. I have played with enough nightly builds and custom roms to realize, I need to factory Reset.

Bootloop.

I was able to get into the recovery mode: and then did another factory reset from here--

Now my recovery mode is only, "No Command" Vol up + power did not get me a list of options again

So, I followed this guide: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/guide-fix-bootloop-locked-bootloader-t3608679

I got here: "click on all buttons and flash all partition files from extracted archive - except recovery ,userdata and cache."

And still was boot looping

So, I went to this guide: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/help/req-help-to-unbrick-t3251740

Installing the "LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23" Looks rather uneventful.

But, I booted up with Vol UP+Power

and got to the Firmware Update screen.

It's been sitting at 0% for twenty minutes... "Do not unplug the USB connection until the process is completed"

and "LG USB driver installation is needed before starting LGUP"

and I will need to close my laptop in an hour

Im lost :(

Edit:

Okay, I got the LGUP to install a new TOT file--

LGH791 - resulted in freezing on "google" after reboot

LGH790 - also frozen on "google" after reboot

However, my recovery mode is no longer "No Command"

So I'm going to try to Sideload an update

I Has an operating system! I'm going to update my firmware to 791 now

hmm.. .no option for "BIN" so I'm going to leave it-- i was supposed to go an hour ago

[Follow-up] My sensors were "malfunctioning" with LGH790. Upgrading to LGH791 fixed all of my sensor issues.

Hi all and thanks for any help!

I know that there are quiet a few threads about SIM card errors and read most of them, trying most of the suggestions but it is still not working.

The beginning:

I was running ViperOneM8 v2.5.0 and TWRP v.2.7.1 for over two years without any problems.

About two weeks ago it suddenly would not recognize my SIM card anymore. (I made a phone call, ended it, put the phone in my pocket and when I looked at it about two hours later it tells me that there is no SIM card inserted. It was a hot day ~95ºF/33ºC)

So I started debugging.

hboot and firmware were old, because I never updated them (why should I, the phone was working ;))

The SIM card is working in a different phone.

Also tried Scott tape on the back of the SIM card.

By now I am running out of ideas (exchanging mother or daughter board is not an option for me).

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks for taking the time and any help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
My suggestion would be to try a new SIM (carrier might be able to replace yours for free).

Or try the 6.12.401.4 RUU using the following instructions: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6

Beyond that, you've tried all the tricks in my bag (Scotch tape trick). I tend to think it's a hardware failure, do the spontaneous nature of it. And you've tried most of the firmware/software approaches available. The RUU will format the phone to a complete factory "stock" image. If you don't see any improvement after that (or new SIM) I have to assume a hardware failure (such as bad SIM tray).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheClownDE:

I will try the RUU and the new SIM when I have time.
