[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] majidamiri15300:
Hey, I'm having a bit (or a **** ton) of trouble updating my firmware from Marshmallow to Oreo, and it's getting really frustrating.

I was on RR before, so I never really updated the firmware, but since Xposed for Oreo is out, I decided to update to LeeDroid. The problem is that, since LeeDroid requires the latest Oreo firmware, I had to update it (or try to), and no matter any method I've tried, it won't work. And the problem is, it doesn't even allow me to update for Nougat either.

At first I thought it was some issue with the CID (maybe I downloaded the wrong RUU), so I downloaded firmware for my CID and tried to update via both fastboot and download mode's SD card thing and neither worked. When using fastboot, it would give me "9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL" and when using SD card, it would give me "14 RU_ZIP_INFO_ERROR android-info missing or malformed" even though I checked the zip I was flashing, and the android-info text file was there (and this is Nougat firmware). Nothing is helping and it's becoming extremely frustrating.

I also tried using stock Marshmallow (which I was able to get via TWRP backup since that was the only way I could get pure stock) and tried just doing an OTA from there, but it didn't work, no update showed up.

Phone's info:

CID: HTC__J15 (which I believe is GCC).

MID: 2PS620000

Current Firmware: 1.95.401.4

S-ON

Bootloader unlocked (obviously).

I'm using Pure Fusion temporarily.

Update: I managed to go S-OFF but I still can't flash any RUUs. I can flash firmware files, but any RUU zip I've downloaded just causes some kind of error. I tried flashing some kind of stock recovery to apply an update (if that would even work) but I keep getting an error screen (the one with a phone and a red sign on its screen).

Phone's info (as of update):

CID: 11111111 (SuperCID).

MID: 2PS620000

Current Firmware: 1.95.401.4

S-OFF

Bootloader unlocked (obviously).

Update 2: Nevermind, I killed the phone and paid $25 for nothing. Yay.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Wonders_Never_Cease:
You cannot just update the firmware if s-on... Thats first issue... You will need to revert to current build,flash stock recovery and take the ota's in sequence...As far as no notifications... It would be instant may take a bit
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] majidamiri15300:
The S-ON thing I get, but with current build, I sat there with stock MM and hit check for updates like a million times and nothing came up. Aside from that, I still don't know how to go S-OFF without having to pay that $25, because that much money just seems absurd to pay.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Zeezala:
That 25 bucks is really good investment. Trust me. Makes your life with htc 10 much easier.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] majidamiri15300:
Hmmmmm, well I do have the money for it, but just a question: is it safe if I know what I'm doing, flash wise? Like my phone won't get screwed up for no reason?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Zeezala:
In my case, S-OFF app did everything itself. If you know, what you are you doing with your phone, it shoulnt get screwed.

Do some reading about S-OFF and firmware updates and so on.

Honestly, i did some reading, but Im not 100% sure what Im doing. Fortunately, my phone is still alive... :eek:
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] majidamiri15300:
Okay, what the hell? I decided to go with S-OFF and installed the SunShine APK, then did all the tests and whatnot and paid for the license. Then the phone rebooted, but when I went into the bootloader to check, it still said "S-ON."
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Zeezala:
Try run it againg or check some thread related to Sunshine. I can remember i installed app, paid, run it, i took some time, phone rebooted couple of times... Last thing was question, what i want. S-OFF locked, S-OFF unlocked...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] majidamiri15300:
I ran it 3 times so far, still the same thing. I just opened a ticket with SunShine and hope they reply soon.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Zeezala:
And that sunshine test was ok? Your bootloader is unlocked?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] majidamiri15300:
Actually, nevermind that. SunShine replied and they helped me S-OFF, but the problem now is that I can't flash any RUUs for some reason. None of them work.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Try changing to Super CID, then you can flash any RUU made for the 10. You could also try an SD card-version of an RUU, "2PS6IMG.zip".

Just Google for:

htc 10 change to super cid

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
The MID has to match as well
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] yldlj:
You must be flashing the RUU wrong. You never needed to go S OFF and you don't need supercid either. Here is the RUU you need

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634797504

Rename to 2PS6IMG.zip

Place on ex SD card

Boot to download mode

Press vol up to flash.

RUU will erase everything. once the RUU has flashed turn you phone back on and take the OTA.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] Lao Chen:
Let me guess...maybe a "SRS_WOWHD" is in your rom. Check it...if so, close it!

Another way to solve is to upgrade your BA to a rom with no SRS_WOWHD integrated.

So I don't use the Do Not Disturb mode on the OnePlus 5t. I'm almost exclusively on Silent. Now everytime I pull down the notification panel and check the quick settings/tiles the Do Not Disturb is always on until I slide the panel completely down. Then it just disappears. I've checked and made sure that Do Not Disturb is completely off. I'm afraid its affecting my notifications. Can anyone relate or help?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Demonic240:
Hey all,

I've got a N7 2013 LTE tablet with a cracked screen and digitizer. I've replace the screen once before when my kids cracked it (the first time) and finally decided that I'd bring it out of storage to play with for myself. Is it worth replacing the screen and digi again or should I just find a newer tablet? I've got unlimited data for life with the T-Mobile SIM so I'd like to stick with something that has LTE.

Thanks!

In December I just put a new screen on mine that I've had since their release. I love this tablet, so I'd say fix it, or if you can find an inexpensive replacement n7 LTE then grab one.

Screens are cheap https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183031322565
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fr4nk1yn:
Doesn't the screen have to be specifically for the LTE model? Or is that just the frame?

If you're just "playing with it" get something different. It's a good tablet still but parts are hard to find for the LTE version and expensive when you do.

Mine is in my car's dash so I have no choice but to fix or replace.

Hello to al. first let say me, excuse my bad english. Currently from Argentina and got this new phone. I Really like it and because i'm a real careful-guy with cellphones, i like yo transform it to f2fs filesystem...

My early cellphones, an S1 and S4 Mini deaths by emmc problems. really use them and i think that ext4 FS killed them...

well. thanks a lot already
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] :
Don't try it. Flashing stock rom over F2FS file system may result in hard brick. The rom may not support F2FS.

hope anyone reseased it.. f2fs is more faster responsive but also more experimental

since arter97 has fixed GC performance issue i would have f2fs on my mi a1
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Anyone know if using the High Brightness Widget works on 5T to give it a further "boost" of extra brightness beyond the stock level?

Or are there any kernels which do something similar?

"High Brightness Widget"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.hbmwidget&hl=en

I don't have the phone yet.

Screen brightness capability will be one of my deciding factors on buying (or not).
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
I have the 5T now and have tested the HBM with custom ROM's.

Works great!

And while wearing sunglasses in my car, with the phone up on my dash mount and using Google Maps, I'm happy to say this is the easiest-to-read phone I've ever had while under direct sunlight.

My previous two phones were Pixel XL and Nexus 6P.

The 6P with HBM wasn't very good at all. The Pixel XL with HBM was good, but the 5T is better.

I just wish I knew about all the voicemail & MMS issues I'd encounter with using the 5T on my Project Fi.

Long story short, I forgot my password on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) and I was using the above thread to work through bypassing the lockscreen without losing all my data.

This phone is not rooted nor have I installed a custom recovery. I'm going into the Android Recovery Settings (using Method 7 see thread above).

My steps:

1. I downloaded the aromafm-2.00b7.zip file to a SD card

2. Entered Android Recovery Mode

3. Chose Mount/system

4. Apply update from SD card

5. Picked file mentioned below

I get the following message:

E:footer is wrong

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

I've tried installing the file 2 or 3 times. I've downloaded the file again from scratch, and tried to install. All without luck. Does anyone have any idea how I can get past this? End goal is I don't want to lose my data, and I want to be able to bypass my passcode screen.

Thanks so much!

maybe we're in diferent variant,,i dont know but in g900h no problem.

anyway, in recovery u can delete manually these files:

delete("data/system/locksettings.db");

delete("data/system/locksettings.db-shm");

delete("data/system/locksettings.db-wal");

delete("data/system/applockbackuppin.key");

delete("data/system/applockpattern.key");

delete("data/system/fmmpassword.key");

delete("data/system/gatekeeper.backuppin.key");

delete("data/system/gatekeeper.password.key");

delete("data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key");

delete("data/system/personalfingerprintpassword.key");

delete("data/validity/template.db");

mount system first, then choose file manager. i assume u know the procedures how to copy/del/move in recovery.

if not, search how to do it or learn by yourself..super easy.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DanielHochman:
Hi All,

I currently own an HTC magician. I want a new phone with everything the magician has plus GPS, WIFI, more RAM, and a keyboard. The only phone I found that comes close is the Kaiser, but I've heard such bad things about the video driver problem.

Video is not the biggest issue for me, but should I not buy the phone and support HTC who refuses to cooperate?

Do I have any other options with those specs?

Thanks,

Daniel
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] surur:
I have a Kaiser and I am very happy with it, because I can do so much with it. However if a bit of lag annoys you greatly it may not be for you.

Surur
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fredbred:
NO. Wait some time whether the issue get resolved. Its not only the video - the whole phone is slow. You can not browse, rotating you screen. If i make a call with skype, the phone is really very slow and if i slide the keyboard and the screen orientation switches it can take up to minute to be updated - with nothing in background and free mem - only skype running. And until it switches you cant hang up, change the volume...nothing.

To be honest, i regret buying the Kaiser. And if i see how fast a cheap HiPhone can be, omg!

I wonder how HTC can have this on their webpage: More powerful than anything you've seen before, the HTC TyTN II takes communications to the next level.

You have to be blind a live 5years back, for the slogan to be true...

I bought it mainly because of the 3g and wifi and wm6... but there are better solutions then this for 520 euro...

Beware!

better device with 3g, wifi, and wm6? like what?

get the kaiser...it's no slower then any other wm6 device out there and although yes it would be nice if we could play more games, normal res video runs perfectly fine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Delta_flyer:
This may all be true if you're still using the stock ROM. There are some really smokin' cooked ROMs out there that really speed things up and make the Kaiser a truly enjoyable device.

One other thing, show me a PC that doesn't slow down once in awhile. That's what defrag is for.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] greenbrd:
So you equate flashing a cooked ROM with clicking the "Defrag" button? One is a feature built into the operating system, the other can void your warranty and potentially brick your device. They're nowhere near the same thing.

I'm telling everybody I know to avoid HTC like the plague. Not so much directly because of the video issues, but because of their lack of accountability. They deliberately released a crippled device in hopes that nobody would notice, and are now working on some half-assed "fix" only because of the publicity that was generated by the XDA community.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] myv6mustang:
Get one. I was in the same boat hesitating about the drivers. I am glad i made my decision. I upgraded from a 8525. Glad i did i have everything i need in one device. GPS Wifi, processing power. Im not sure what the full potential of this chip is supposed to be but its fast. I actually got mine refurbished from att about a month ago. After using it i ended up buying another one today for my wife and paying full price. Im not disatisfied. Definatly waht i would expect out of a 400 dollar phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Nick Collision:
Like most answers, it lives in the question.

"Because of Video Problems". Do you need or want to view videos not converted to 320x240 resolution? If you do need or want that that from your new expensive mobile device, then pass. ---- NO KAISER FOR YOU!

If you want a snappy interface and quick file browsing experience, then wait for the HTC "fixes". But still forget lag-free video at source resolutions above 320x240. ---------- > Get a Kaiser, and hope you can fix it.

Do you want fancy graphical VGA games or anything 3D? Forget the Kaiser.

Do you want a Windows Mobile 6 device that has real GPS, WiFi, 3G, Edge, 2 cameras (one for video calls, one for decent pics), querty keyboard, and bluetooth? And are able to put up with the device doing NONE of those things particularly well, then ----> Get a Kaiser.

I have a Kaiser. I live through its quirks. Its a fun device depending on your definition of "fun".

Do I regret paying $850+ for my device even knowing I was an early adopter? Yes. The device advertised was not the device delivered.

Would I discourage others from buying it at a $200 USD price point? No.

But then again, its up to you and what you expect from your device.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MACkjam:
Do not listen to most of what the naysayers have to say here. I have an iMate K-Jam and now I have an HTC TyTN II. I have done many comparison tests between the two devices. The TyTN II wins HANDS DOWN!!!

Driver problems? What driver problems? I have yet to find any lag on any video except maybe a bit on the camcorder app, but that's not a big issue. I watch full feature movies on Coreplayer and I have used TCPMP and WM Player with wayyyyyyyy BETTER performance than on my K-Jam!!!

Don't even think about it, go right ahead and buy a TyTN II, you will not regret it. Problem is most people drag these devices through their backsides and then they complain about this and that. They replace roms, install and uninstall all sorts of crap and then they wonder why it's acting up!!!

I have had my TyTN II since the 15th January this year and I have not experienced any of the so-called problems mentioned by some in this forum. OK, the battery does get used up quicker, but then again it has so much packed in and you can get 3000 mAH batteries now!!!

This sub-forum (Kaiser) is more like the Cheese & Whine forum!!!

BUY IT!!!!
