[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vildevilde:
Two days of trying to find a solution here on xda and always banging my head in dead links and a load of information to try to understand I now have ended up with a hopefully not bricked device, I'm just stuck and need help.

This is the output of "fastboot getvar all" now.

(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.29.214500021.12G

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT
(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: 76df2b54
(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11
(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0

This is the different lines in the output of the "fastboot getvar all" before

version-baseband: 1.12.20.1211
version-main 4.21.512.4
commitno-bootloader: 205bdca3

What I did was flashing "unsigned_firmware_6.12.401.4" and to make that work I had to change one line inside the android-info.txt from modelid: 0P6B10000 to modelid: 0P6B20000.

I'm not shure when the trouble started, and after two days of testing I don't remember all I did or not. exactly but I started to try a couple of different roms and the trying to go back to backup made by twrp "twrp-3.1.1-0-m8" there was sudden restarts and twrp got errors with carrier partition, I changed to an older twrp and got that working for a while but ten suddenly I got other errors from /cash and /data partitions when trying to whipe with twrp, tried different twrp:s trying to flash other firmwares and other roms and kernels, I'm stuck.

Now If I install lineage os, 14. .... the installation finish but with errors, I can start the phone but it will restart then and then, and if i shut it down it will not be shut down after some minutes it starts again by it self.

IF i go back to the backed up stock that I got the phone with it will do exactly the same with reboots and not being able to shut down properly.

Android version 4.4.4

HTC Sense-version 6.0

Program version 3.31.512.2

HTC SDK API level 6.25

PRI-version not available

PRL--version not available

Kernel version 3.4.g3e2305b and@ABM103#1 SMP PREeMPT

Basebandvesion not available

Versionnumber 3.31.512.2 CL39569 release-keyes.

he phone is only stable in bootloader and in twrp, the twrp for the moment is 2.8.0.

Excuse me for messing up, but what shall I do now?

My goal is a working LineageOS on the phone

Edited: Oh, I forgot to tell that I prefer to use Linux when working on the phone. Somewhere I have a rarely used win10 machine also if needed.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You have a peculiar version of the M8, which is know as LRA (a Verizon variant). This is one of the "CDMA" M8 variants, which supports the Verizon LRA CDMA network (in addition to GSM, HSPA, LTE) and it differs from most other M8 versions. Therefore you can NOT flash firmware from any other version M8, such as the Euro firmware currently installed. The radio is not compatible, results in a radio brick, and that is probably why you have carrier partition errors.

Try flashing the proper RUU for LRA, and only this one: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66044439&postcount=37

I can't personally vouch for the above RUU. But I think others have verified it works on their LRA device. Hopefully, your phone boots after that, and the cell network functions. If so, you can install TWRP 3.1 (or at least 2.8.7) and a Verizon-compatible ROM. I don't know if Lineage qualifies, so I'll leave that up to you to research.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vildevilde:
YEEEES thank you very much redpoint73, your answer led me to the solution. I got the phone back working :)

It didn't really work with the direct solution you pointed at (I don't know why), but after I red the whole thread RUU for bluegrass cellular variant I found a solution. There is a link to OTA

, I downloaded that, extracted the firmware from the zip and flashed it to my phone. Now it feel like new again. I'm not sure everything is back to normal but the version-baseband is back to where it started, the same with the version-main, but the bootloader? ie the commitno-bootloader is not changed back, will probably not only flashing firmware but so far i'ts working good. I just restored my lineageOS from previous backup.

I have wifi, radio and gps working and the lineageOS seams to work very well, maybe their version of M8 includes all versions?

Thank you again and again redpoint73
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Not sure why the RUU didn't work, either. If the firmware from the OTA worked, the RUU should have worked. But RUU can be more finicky to things on the PC side, such as Windows version, if Visual C++ is installed, USB ports (2.0 vs. 3.0), etc. So nice job, working out a solution that worked.

The bootloader (3.19.0.0000) isn't different between LRA and Euro, or for that matter Lollipop versus Marshmallow. And since the firmware installed successfully, the bootloader would most likely match everything else installed by the firmware.zip (such as radio).

In other words, the bootloader number looks fine.

I'm not a Lineage user on this device, so like I said before, I don't know either way whether it supports your LRA version M8.

If everything works on Lineage, I'd say it must support your LRA version device.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkec27:
Soo I have a faulty battery on my Z3c and I do not have the time or money to replace it right now,and I would love to have a phone which wouldn't overheat and thermal throttle after watching a YouTube video and opening Snapchat.

As well because the battery overheated the back glass's adhesive has weakened and the glass unsticked so I use the phone with the battery exposed which actually did help a bit.

I do get better results when using "conservative" governor and at least trying to set the clock to 1500MHz(it maxes at 1500MHz for some time and then starts peaking at 2400MHz again). I also tried undervolting,didn't notice a difference unfortunately.

So now,what can I do to cool down the battery,because it is starting to get very very annoying. Maybe putting some aluminum plate over the battery(maybe a dumb suggestion,don't really know) or something like that? Thanks to anyone who helps in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infy_AsiX:
Mpdecision becoming re-enabled causes frequency's not to stick. I found using init.d to set kernel CPU settings and having Kernel Adiutor apply as normal again prevents issues.

See the last photo of my battery mod gallery for a thermal mod https://imgur.com/a/8Ceha. It still heats up, though taking longer to and a little less. You could also apply new CPU thermal paste, it wears out with age. Of two devices I've opened up one had no paste.

A metal back will dissipate heat better but will probably affect wireless signal. An interesting observation I've noticed is with the battery separated outside of the device the CPU tends to run a little hotter. As poor design as having a battery attached to the opposite side of a CPU acting as a heatsink is, it still does dissipate heat over more surface than without. More so I think with the battery removed there's not enough pressure against the back of the board to push the thermal contact flush with the front display body. With the back panel removed there's not enough pressure. With the air gap separation mod the extra ~1mm lets an external case create some pressure, getting better results than with an original glass back and hard plastic back case on top.

I never really ran my phone case-less so can't report differences there. However it should be noted that glass is an insulator and isn't good for dissipating heat.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkec27:
Soo first the Mpdesicion thing,I have installed a new kernel which removes Mpdesicion and puts Intellithermal instead,I don't know if that affects anything with clock changes but we'll see. I am gonna switch to Oreo soon so we'll see how it is there.

Second,I will take the phone apart definitely when I get some time to do so. And for the third thing,no I am not really into modding cases and the insides of the phone and similar so I will be probably avoiding that.

Thanks for the help though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infy_AsiX:
Intellithermal is for thermal throttling. A hotplugging replacement for Mpdecision is something else.

So nothing is covering the battery? Be careful not to puncture it. A case doesn't require modding but I think some thickness is required to create pressure. In other words I think the back panel without a case is better than no back panel with just a case and no pressure modification.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkec27:
Okay I will try something today or tomorrow.

As for the Mpdecision,I turned it off and my clock still peaks at 2500MHz. You mentioned something with init.d.

Could you tell me what to do?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infy_AsiX:
Your ROM needs to have init.d support. If it does there should be a folder in /system/etc/init.d/. This used to be easier to add on MM stock. Since N AOSP it seems to be disabled. I've got it working via a workaround on Magisk, it's not straightforward.

Maybe try enabling shell script to apply settings in Kernel Adiutor settings first. If that fails maybe search and ask to see how anyone else gets edited frequencies to stick in your kernel thread. If you still can't get a fix i'll recommend my ideas.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkec27:
So I did most of what you said,so first with Oreo it is actually much better with battery and heat management,but how do you now fix the volume down button when you tried to make the buttons go to place for 1 hour?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infy_AsiX:
So what have you done? Useful to know what's worked for you. Or do you mean Oreo is cooler by itself?

Do you mean your volume button is stuck? It shouldn't be. Check inside if it's aligned and properly placed. If you had removed the board try reinstalling it again taking care with button alignment.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkec27:
Nah button alignment is completely fine it just isn't registiring a key press,maybe I have damaged the flex cable or the board.

And what I have done is apply thermal paste,leave 1mm between the motherboard and the battery so it has some air to breathe and Oreo seems to be cooler itself.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamsbamx:
You must disable Thermal Core Control for your settings to be applied, can do it with Kernel Adiutor
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dinkec27:
Well I managed to get a new battery and with new settings that I set on Oreo there is almost no heat sooo yeah,this thread can be closed.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] porscheoscar:
There are only two displays I like: LG's QHD LCD and Sony's 4K. I have compared every new flagship display to the LG V20's using the same YouTube 4K video (on the highest HD playback possible) and nearly every OLED display including the new iPhone X have a yellowy tinge that make the colors look distorted compared to the LG LCD. Problem is the LG IPS has really bad image retention if you spend a long time with the display on maximum brightness. I've replaced one V10 and V20 display under the 1 year warranty. I recently finally got a chance to compare the Sony XZ Premium against my V20. The V30 is now OLED so no thanks. I was absolutely blown away by how much deeper the blues and greens were on the Sony 4K vs my V20 yet I still get the more realistic picture quality. In all other reapects the V20 was pretty close to the eye of the average consumer. The blacks on the V20 were a bit grayer maybe the Sony 4K has local lighting? I have a Sony 4K TV at home so I've had some time with the Triluminous feature. It was like holding that beautiful TV in the palm of your hand. And at a lower price than the iPhone X by nearly half (once you include the fast charger and lightning cable, and 256 GB option). I'm hoping the XZ Premium comes down to $500 USD. It was $635 at Best Buy (Noveber 2017)

Call me crazy but even though I have Verizon and the XZ Premium is a no go I'm seriously considering buying the XZ Premium once the price comes down just to use a video player. I have YouTube Red, Prime Video, NetFlix Downloads, all on my 256 Samsung Micro SD. I can basically skip the $1000k expense of upgrading to a new Samsung, Pixel or Apple phone just for the screen and still save $500.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] porscheoscar:
I have unlimited data grandfather plan and use 50 GB per month ever since 4G LTE became a reality. I pay $50 per month and have rarely been throttled to less than 40 mbps because of the deal Verizon did with the government to secure that LTE spectrum. People on the new Verizon unlimited plans can be throttled after 22 GB's so its unlimited data but not unlimited speeds. With so much HD quality streaming now available I don't want to press my luck blowing past 50 GB a month. T-mobile has unlimited if I ever do get dropped but everyone I've spoken to around here (NYC) who left a Verizon unlimited plan say the T-Mobile speeds are nowhere close to what they had before with Verizon. My guess is all the people who jumped ship for T-Mobile unlimited is really taxing T-Mobile's network. and 5G is a long way off from being nationwide. Verizon call me every month trying to talk me out of my grandfathered unlimited plan so that's how I know I'm starting to press my luck. I don't think you can have your cake and it too anymore. Carrying two small devices isn't ideal but over the course of many years I dont think there is more value in going to T-Mobile or AT&T where they will nickel and dime you for the luxury of 50+ mbps speeds at will. These networks are going to have us over a barrel soon. 4k video streaming is going to chew up tons of data in a blink.
