[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,

no you did not post in the wrong forum. This section is not that active but there are still a handful of people visiting and trying to help.

You've posted plenty of info - which is good. First of all, you can't change the cid if you're s-on. You need to be s-off. Changing the cid is not really necessary unless you want to convert your carrier device into the dev edition or the Google Play edition M8. What cid were you trying? Was changing the cid successful? In that current state it shouldn't.

Speaking of the Google Play edition. You tried to revert to sense stock, according to the ruu you mentioned. The thing is your getvar result shows that your mid and cid directs towards a Google Play edition device. If you want to go on sense there are a few steps you have to do before you can (repartitioning system for example as the storage size is bigger on sense than on GPe).

Another thing is, the TWRP recovery you used is way too old for the firmware. The latest one can be found on twrp.me

Can you tell us how big your system partition is? If it's only over 1GB you certainly have a GPe device - in fact getvar says that as well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedee39:
The guide I found for reverting to stock said to change to the super CID (fastboot oem writecid 11111111). I only did that because I thought that it was the "right way" to do this. But if the CID can't be changed unless the phone is s-off, then it must still be stock, because I doubt that I've ever achieved s-off while flashing a different ROM.

Yes, I attempted the Sense stock because the tutorial told me to and also because that's what is listed on HTC's website. I don't want to go to Sense, just thought that I was supposed to. So you're saying that the phone is a Google Play Edition? I'll need to look that up.

Thank you for that, I didn't know. I'll get it. One question that I've never found the answer to is, if I installed TWRP to change the ROM, what is the stock recovery image? Or, is it bad to simply leave TWRP installed? I have no plans to sell the phone.

I think I did this correctly. Here's what I found through the shell:

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/block/mmcblk0p45 1032088 853196 178892 83% /system

Once I started looking this up, I found a post on XDA about GPe and different partition sizes. I'll check for GPe ROMs now. Do I need any other files besides that and the updated TWRP? Is the order to install a newer TWRP, then flash the GPe ROM, and then relock the bootloader?

I noticed that the bootloader has a persistent message about it being relocked and **WARNING**. Is there a way to clear the warning flag? One of the tutorials that I was following listed several shell commands to do this. I'm going to list them, so let me know if that is the way to clear the flag.

adb shell

su

echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 bs=1 seek=33796

exit

exit

adb reboot-bootloader

Thanks for your help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You indeed have a GPe device. If you want to go back to GPe this thread has all your answers, links and ruu's

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708589

Since your device is a GPe device there is no need to change cid, mid etc. - with s-on you can't change them anyways. Just grab the latest GPe ruu and follow flashing instructions.

Stock recovery is only needed for ota-updates. On sense the updates would fail as this particular recovery is missing. I assume on GPe that would happen as well. It's up to you if you use twrp or stock recovery. GPe won't get updates anymore, same as sense.

I recommend not to mess with this stuff in bootloader. Once you go back to stock (ruu etc), it should fix itself. Besides that to temper with it you need to be s-off anyway.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedee39:
Yes, I had found that exact thread earlier today, thanks to you, and I was just replying to tell you that I have successfully reverted my phone back to stock.

In the spirit of contribution to the site that has helped a novice such as me, I want to share the steps I took so that others might be helped.

The phone, as mentioned earlier, is an HTC One M8 Google Play Edition (Gpe), was s-on, not rooted, bootloader unlocked. I had an old version of TWRP and Resurrection Remix ROM using Android 7.1.2.

Prerequisites

1. Stock GPe ROM: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634750828

2. TWRP 3.1.1-0-m8: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/twrp-3.1.1-0-m8.img.html

3. Backup account fix (linked in aforementioned thread): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686680535467942

4. ADB and fastboot

5. Unlocked bootloader

**This assumes that you have a Windows computer. I used Windows 10 v1709**

Steps

1. Copy the ROM and TWRP files to the same folder in which fastboot and ADB are located. This makes it easier to run commands.

2. (There might be another way to do this one, but I don't know it) Copy the backup account fix file "MRA58K.H15_backup-account-fix.zip" to a micro SD card and put it in the phone.

3. Open a command prompt or PowerShell window in the folder that contains ADB and fastboot by right-clicking + Shift in an open area and selecting "Open PowerShell/Command Prompt window here."

4. In the PowerShell/Command Prompt window, type "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-m8.img" and press Enter to install TWRP

5. Reboot into the bootloader and choose "fastboot," then choose "recovery"

6. In TWRP, browse to ADB sideload and then "swipe to start sideload."

7. In your PowerShell/Command Prompt window, type "adb sideload HTC_One_M8_GPe_Marshmallow-6.0_MRA58K.H15_AROMA-Installer-v6-020817.zip" and press Enter to start the installation

8. On the phone's screen, choose the top option, which should be the unrooted, completely stock installation.

9. On my machine, the PowerShell/Command Prompt window showed progress up to 41% and then it finished successfully.

10. After that, do not reboot, but go back into the main TWRP menu and go to Install. Browse to the MRA58K.H15_backup-account-fix.zip file that you previously saved on your SD card and install it.

11. Once that is installed, reboot the phone. My phone took between 5 and 10 minutes to boot the first time.

12. (Optional) I wanted to have a completely reverted phone, so I locked the bootloader again by rebooting the phone into the bootlader and typing "fastboot oem lock" in the PowerShell/Command Prompt window. It then said "relocked" but no warnings or errors.

I hope this helps somebody. All credit goes to maultasche for pointing me in the right direction and to graffixnyc for the other thread.

Stuck in "Download pending..." - can't update or install any apps from Play Store

LG Watch Sport with build NQF430. Noticed today that none of my apps are updating and I can't install new ones. Everything is stuck in "Download pending." I've tried wifi, cellular, clearing cache and data from Play Store, Play Services, Download Manager, rebooting, turning off PIN for Play Store purchases, setting my router to use Google's DNS servers, and pretty much everything else I've seen suggested in other threads. I really don't want to do another factory reset. There must be a way to get this to work. It sounds like many people are having this problem.

If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know. I searched "Download pending" in this forum but didn't see any posts here on this topic.

They're kind of distracting, and imo useless. Any way to get rid of them?

Wouldn't be too bad if there was a dedicated space in the status bar for them, but when they come and go, icons to the left bounce around.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] luisenriquereyes:
Yes I find them to be very distracting as well. I did a quick search to look on how to disable them but came up empty [emoji852]️
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] maidguitar:
I ended up just disabling the data icon entirely. I almost never end up in a dead zone without signal/wifi, and if you really want to know you can use a widget or KLWP or something to make an indicator on your desktop.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] luisenriquereyes:
How did you disable the data icon?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] maidguitar:
Enable the System UI Tuner by pulling down the notification shade and long pressing the settings gear icon for a while.

Then, find System UI Tuner in the System Settings. From there you can disable various icons.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] wheresmybeaver:
Sony monitor their own Community forums for feedback. There are a few threads over there already about these network indicators causing icons to shift around; plenty of people find them irritating. Be sure to add your thoughts to those threads and hopefully Sony will change the icons in a future update.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] rouyal:
I went to phone settings and found a Sony email address and sent some feedback mostly about the status bar indicators, nfc icon, auto brightness, and missing Oreo night mode (blue light filter). But I'll check out the Sony forum. Both Oreo and the phone are fairly new, so maybe it's just they need to polish the software a bit.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] tom193:
I thought I was the only one finding this annoying. I was about to create a new thread about it. I think what I can do for now is to disable the entire icon and install some third party app for wifi indicator.

[General Questions and Answers] eundas:
Hi there,

This phone comes with Nougat and thus it's more or less easy to find some custom Nougat ROMs for the device. However, for need of running an app which requires Marshmallow, and the inability to return or change the phone, I'm looking to compile a custom Android 6 ROM for this phone. Is this possible at all? Given that many people would have lots more expertise in this task than I will ever have, I'm curious as to what a quote for this work would be. I would seriously consider reasonable quotes and would not require this to be an exclusive product (i.e. if the dev wants to publish the ROM it would be fine by me).

Cheers,

Eduardo
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
You are gonna have a hard time. The biggest issue will be the lack of a marshmallow kernel source for the device and a lot changed. When I say a lot I mean a lot like all the way down to the runtime.

So pretty much without that you will have to make the kernel and all the drivers from scratch. A price tag on that would be in the thousands and require hundreds of hours of work. That is not even saying that it will work at all.

Bootloader Mode Nothing Is Working If Any One Has An Idea How Can I Upgrade Or Even Re Falsh The Same Rom I Will Appreciate It Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Kasush:
You MUST flash via sync, there is no method available to flash from SD card. Are you using XP or Vista? There is a known issue with Vista not liking the BA. Are you manually putting the BA into bootloader mode then placing in the cradle or trying to do it some other way? The method that works 100% for me is to manually put in bootloader mode (power+reset+record), this gives me a screen that says Serial at the top and a version number at the bottom, there is no backlight and when I then place it into the cradle Serial changes to USB. At this point on the computer run MA_Upgrade and everything should work. Keep in mind that I will never use Vista so if you are the YMMV.

Hrmm... I'm going to throw out a few ideas to look at. Some probably don't apply since you tried this on another machine, per your post, but it can't hurt in regards to this issue...

Try uninstalling activesync, reboot, reinstall, reboot. The 'drivers' that are used are installed with activesync.

If you have any 3rd party USB drivers, try reinstalling them.

Disable 'advanced network functionality' on the phone

Backup your phone and hard reset

Do you have anything that monitors the USB port on the machine you are trying to do this on?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Kasush:
Make sure you are using activsync 4.5 or newer. Other than that and what you already read here I can think of nothing.

When I disabled the software for a moment, attempted a sync it would work, then I could turn the software back on and be fine. If I disconnected and reconnected it would only charge. Give that a whirl. :D
[LG G6 Accessories] NealJ777:
I'm looking for BT earbud recommendations. Either on the neck or a single in-ear solution.

Long story short: My G6 is having problems with the proximity sensor, so talking on the phone by holding the phone to my ear is difficult because the phone does not recognize when I pull the phone away from my ear. I feel that using BT for all calls would be the best solution.

With Black Friday right around the corner, it looks like there will be several choices under $40.

One model I am considering is the "SoundPEATS Q900" on Amazon, just because of the price.

I am open to suggestions and feedback.

Thank you :)

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ji_mestone:
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP just fine. I attempted to root, but everything was encrypted (I think), so I set a PIN and read that some people had to reboot several times before TWRP recognized and asked for the PIN. So I did that, and after the 4th or 5th time, it booted up to a blank screen only with the soft buttons. I tried erecovery, but it's the same. USB debugging was apparently turned off somewhere along the way, so I can't access ADB. Also, when I plug it into to my computer, a message pops up that says "the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."

I'm at a complete loss as to what to do. I've searched and tried everything I've come across over the past two hours, but to no avail. I'm hopeful something's out there but I've missed it.

I can still access TWRP. I factory reset it a few times hoping that would work, but it didn't.

Any suggestions?
