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

I have an old HTC one m8 which was working fine when I stored it away last year. Today I tried to turn it on and found myself looking at safe mode menu with the heading

"Software status: Modified"

LOCKED

Security Warning

Now I have been going through the form for the last couple of hours trying different things but they dont seem to work.

e.g) I got a ver 4.20 RUU for my phone mentioned in this link

https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/finding-ruu-t3283633

but that does not work because my phone currently is on OS-6.13 and apparently I can not downgrade to OS-4 while my phone is S-ON. (I get ERROR 159 IMAGE ERROR)

So i tried to make it S-OFF. Unfortunately from what I have read they only way to do that is through the adb tool which does not work in the fastboot mode I am currently stuck on (fastboot commands work fine from my PC). So I can't downgrade to the only RUU I have found for my modelid and cid. I have no idea how to proceed now.

my phone specs

Any ideas?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Correct. Downgrading is not allowed with s-on.

There is no (current) valid method to s-off using adb. If you are talking about firewater, that method has not worked since 2014, and nothing you do will make it work.

The valid current method to s-off is with sunshine app ($25 US) but also requires a working OS.

You also do not need s-off to get the phone working again. Since a Marshmallow version RUU for your CID/MID is not available, you can restore the stock TWRP backup from the collection in the link below: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Unlock bootloader using HTCDev.com, install custom recovery TWRP, then restore the TWRP backup 6.13.206.5 using the instruction in the link above.

Hi everyone. Can I get some help with this head unit?

I bought this

amazon. com. au/gp/product/B0799JGF3H/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and its the worst purchase I ever made. I was hoping that someone can save me from myself and make this thing useful.

I find it really slow, so I complained to xtrons and they gave me a updated firmware but its still useless.

Id just like to root it or something so that I can have it launch Automate on boot, and anything that can be done to make it more stable would be awesome. Right now if I use 2 apps like Waze and Apple music it will crash out of one after not to long. I use Apple music because that's what I have on my phone, but it is so slow. Takes about 5 minutes to get the stereo to boot, then I have to get through all the menu items to get to my downloaded music and each click is registered about 15 seconds after I click it..

I haven't had a android phone in a long time now so if forgotten almost everything about rooting devices.

This is the info I get from settings on the head unit:

imgur. com/EYcTqt5

imgur. com/M3sEtK7

There is a developer option in settings but its password protected so not sure if that will help or not.

Sorry for spaces in the links, wasn't allowed to post links.
[Connected Car] TheGary7:
found the dev option password but it doesn't appear to help. Any one have any ideas for me?
[Connected Car] velocity4:
Stable is one thing, but nothing is going to fix the slow. That unit only has 1GB of ram, and with a quad core, notoriously slow.
[Connected Car] TheGary7:
I ended up going a non-android one as I don't think it suited my needs. Just got a Sony XAVAX5000 that has carplay so I can use music from my phone.

In fact, I just decided about 5 minutes ago.. so funny timing with the comment on this old post :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] illuminarok:
Hello all,

Lately I have been having a little trouble with my device. I want to use HTC's Touch xT9 for easy access touch screen T9 input for English language, but if I do that it will disable my Japanese language input ability altogether. I need to be able to input Japanese language on my device because I am a Japanese. The problem, I have found, is that the HTC software has it's own dll file for IME, and if you use any other IME (like the Microsoft IME 3.1 J for Japanese) it will not be able to shift into xT9 mode and be limited to QWERTY keyboard mode. I hope you understand what I am saying. Anyway, if anyone has any experience with this or another issue where 2 IME software conflicts and have any idea how to correct this situation, please let me know. I will be greatly appreciative of you if you can. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElsaReyes:
Okay yes hi, I was changing the battery of my tablet recently, and when I gently flipped up the ribbon connector tab up to remove the ribbon, the tab broke off and now I can't get it back on, and one of the little golden connector thingies seems to be gone.

I tried as hard as I could to reattach it but seeing as I have no idea how it even connects, I wasn't able to.

So what I did was I slid the ribbon in place and taped it down.

Now everything works fine, except for the home button. It's completely unresponsive.

Can anyone help me out here? Is it because the tabs missing? Is it not being held on good enough? Or could it be because of the missing gold thingy?

This is my new daily driver. It is the lowest profile case I own. It is hard plastic material. It is absolutely gorgeous on the phone. Maintains the slim dimensions of the phone without adding any bulk at all.

It is very slippery and is a fingerprint magnet. May not provide enough protection for some people. The camera is recessed but only barely. For me, it is sufficient for scratch protection and light drops overall. But I always switch out to other cases regularly for this phone. Check their other case, which is one of the best fitting low profile cases for this phone. Less flashy than the one above but the fit is just so perfect with my max coverage TGSP from Klearlook. Better camera coverage too.

See images below.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] lambstone:
How different is the aurora colour from the original twilight colour?
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] subhani:
It is different. Mostly purple with some green on the sides. For this reason, one forgets that, under the case the phone colour shades are different (which are also purple and green). The case is as stunning as the phone's actual colours, despite being different. It is exactly as it looks in the pictures above, really.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] all the pugs:
I have 3 of these for a few months now. The problem is that they scratch very easily and the scratches are very prominent as the color gets scratched off. After 2 weeks, they look worse for wear.... But otherwise, pretty.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] subhani:
Do you have the hard plastic people one?
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] all the pugs:
yes the shiny hard ones.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] subhani:
Wish you'd told me about them sooner. I only found them recently.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] all the pugs:
Sorry, I didn't think there would be much interest. I like them a lot but it's a bit sad they scratch so easily and need to be wiped so often.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] subhani:
Yes they get super greasy but mine are unscratched. Perhaps I just pamper my phone like a baby, more than others.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] all the pugs:
The scratches and scuff marks are simply from putting it on tables. The corners get scruffy super fast.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] subhani:
I'm wondering if I got a revised model or I'm just blind. LOL!
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] all the pugs:
Wait a few weeks ;)

I might take a few pics later :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] subhani:
Thank you. I didn't wanna be rude and ask you to show pictures. They would help. But I believe you anyway.

Edit: for the record, I mean pictures of the phone case. LOL!
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] all the pugs:
Please ignore the mess in the background. I should clean my desk but meh maybe tomorrow. ;)
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] all the pugs:
Oh dear, I hope the uploads will be fixed soon. Trying again.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] subhani:
The top right hand corner isn't so bad but the other one where it looks like it's gone black is more visible. Maybe mine will look that way after some weeks too. Thanks for the feedback. Yours is more transparent at the rope than at the bottom half. Or is that just the camera angles and colours doing that?
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] all the pugs:
No, there are 3 versions available.. One transparent to blue (the one you see here), one "twilight" purple to green and one purple to blue (which you seem to use). I used the blue one for a month, now have the twilight one for 3 weeks and the purple one is still unpacked.

The scruff marks are 100% from putting in on a table or night stand.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] subhani:
Wow... Okay. I must wait and see how mine fare over time. I am a bit extra when putting my phone on any surface. I often carry a cloth for wiping and my phone goes on top of that. Can you share the links from where you got yours? I want the other colours. Or is it from the same link as mine?

Mine is blue when looking at it straight on and purple from any other angle. And it is hard to see the gradient to transparent-green, except in only one of the pictures.
[Huawei P20 Pro Accessories] all the pugs:
I don't put anything underneath it, I must admit I just put it on whatever flat surface is in reach, mostly my desk or the night stand.

I don't have access to the ebay site I bought the blue one, but the other two are from aliexpress.

Anyone have thoughts on which data transfer program to use when I receive my note.

Should I use the Samsung Smart Switch app, CloneIt or perhaps another program?

The smart switch app is the easiest. Use that data transfer tool and boom there you go!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sandeepsb:
As said above, Smart Switch is definitely the way to go. Ensure the app is on both devices and then connect your LG to your Note via the included USB A to USB Cable adapter and select what you want to transfer ocer - it's that easy.

[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] roxboxxx:
I know that there are many posts that cover some of this, but I felt that if anyone just went through what I did, this may help consolidate the research and results. I was 5 minutes away from putting my Nex up on swappa as alerts from apps were completely hit or miss.

So, if you are not getting your alerts from apps like, Textra, Skype, Facebook messenger, Outlook, whatsapp, etc., make sure you do the following:

For each of these apps - follow the same path:

Settings> more settings> applications > Installed > Selected App > Select Permissions > Turn on all toggles to start > Select "Single Permission settings " Tun on all Toggles - MAKE SURE YOU SELECT AUTOSTART > then back 2 times and then select Notifications > Then turned all toggles on.

DO NOT FORGET TO TOGGLE "AUTOSTART" ON OR YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR ALERTS ON THESE APPS WHEN YOUR SCREEN IS OFF AND YOUR RESPECTIVE APP IS CLOSED!!

I recommend to turn every toggle on for each of the permission and notification options to start. You can always go back after you are sure all of your apps are properly notifying you and tinker with removing what logically -you don't want turned on.

HERE IS HOW I TESTED:

Test 1 - My phone on, my screen off - I sent messages from another phone using: Textra, Skype, Facebook messenger, Outlook, whatsapp. I then watched to see if they were triggered. All was well, with skype being the slowest.

Test 2: My phone was OFF. I then sent messages from another phone using: Textra, Skype, Facebook messenger, Outlook, whatsapp. I then turned my phone back on and watched to see if they showed up before my phone was unlocked. They all did ! :)

AN ADDITIONAL OPTION TO ENSURE MESSAGE ALERT PERFORMANCE:

Settings > Battery > High Background Power Consumption > turn the toggle on for any app that you want to ensure your alert comes through. I have not seen any decernable drop in battery life with this turned on for a few of my apps.

LASTLY - If you still have an issue, I recommend you readup on how to ADB into your phone and then delete Vivo "Imanager" - (com.iqoo.secure). These are guides here on how to do it. I tested the above with and without imanager and both worked fine for me.

With these changes + having nova launcher now running and tweaked out, I am finally loving this phone !

All we need now are non-public Vivo account and life will be great !

It is incredible that I have paid almost 500 $ (Iqoo Neo 3) for a phone that is a real beast in every way and one of the ESSENTIAL functionalities does not work, in 2020, with Android 10 ...

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] jusx10i:
Hey all,

Sorry, I know that has been covered extensively on here, but I just want to clarify my understanding and make sure I'm not waiting pointlessly and hopefully avoid mucking this up in the future.

So, I've had my Galaxy S9+ long enough that OEM UNLOCK appeared in the developer options menu. I've rooted/flashed installed enough phones in the past that I stupidly didn't read up on any of the newer security features (such as RMM).

I OEM unlocked the phone, restarted, and everything looked fine. I've then rebooted into Odon (3.13.1, downloaded through Sam Mobile) and tried to install the tar file associated with my phone (twrp-3.2.3-0-star2lte).

Odin failed to install, with the error message, "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed(recovery)" After a quick look around, this error message appears to be associated with a bootloader that is still locked:

If I look at the values at the top of the download menu, I see

RMM STATE: Prenormal

FRP LOCK: Off

OEM LOCK: Off

So, if my OEM lock is off, is it the RMM state preventing me from flashing the device? If so, is this a wait seven days without restarting the phone for RMM state to change to normal or am I missing something entirely?

What I've also read, is it is required to do the TWRP flash mid-OEM unlock (during the reboot of the factory reset), is this something I will still need to do?

Any direction appreciated. Sorry for posting on the same subject so many others have, I just can't quite find any information on it when the OEM is unlocked already.

ta.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesW92:
So, about a month ago I decided to factory reset my phone. I got it to factory binary mode, that was what I wanted to do because the phone kept messing up, getting hot, etc. I figured I’d reset it, download my apps back that I used a lot and everything else would be erased so I could start fresh, rather than going through every single thing in my phone and deciding what to get rid of, and what to keep.

Of corse, I have a AT&T phone that apparently makes this complicated with the Samsung factory reset protection. I got this phone from someone I've semi-lost connection with, and I did ask for the help from them, they couldn’t remember the login info (password/recovery info) for their old phone.

Basically what I’m asking here is when in factory binary mode, with FRP on, can I get back to the phones regular system? I’ve never done this before, and now I regret it more than anything. I didn’t backup my phone or anything, I’ve tried several times reading countless thin about flashing a phone and blah blah, so, does ANYONE know what I should do? I recently lost my job and buying anything isn’t an option, espicaly those websites that say you have to pay to get the FRP deleted.

Is there ANYTHING I can do a thing this point? I’ve heard with the FRP still on, that I can’t download the stock rom back or really do anything, is this true? Can anybody please help! This is my last resort, I’ve spent countless hours trying to google and read articles and this forum was the only place I saw people actually getting help and getting their problems resolved.

I have posted this once on the normal forums just found this section, so hopefully It'll be more helpful. Thanks.

Edit*

it's a Samsung Galaxy s6 edge (sm-g925a)

I'm stuck at an issue that I've never seen before and need some assistance. I flashed invictrix 8.1.0 not to long ago and then installed an updated version of the rom through the rom's updater. It went through the automated flashing of the updated version and now I'm stuck in a recovery that seems to be stock, but it's not the stock version I am accustomed to seeing. I can not do anything in this recovery. I have used adb to do things before, but now adb and fastboot seem to get stuck at waiting for device errors or error:device not found even though adb devices and fastboot devices brings up the phone being connected. I now can no longer boot into the phone as I did a hard reset while my phone was operational.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Have you tried booting straight into fastboot mode by holding down Power+Vol Up until it reboots? And then see if you can use fastboot on your PC to flash TWRP again.

Also, all those error messages. Did you at some point reformat the cache partition as f2fs? It's supposed to be ext4..
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] jxcorex28:
I can boot into fastboot. The computer recognizes the phone through fastboot devices and adb devices. However, issuing a command through fastboot results in a waiting for device message. Maybe I need to find a more suitable adb. The one I’ve been using is the 15 second adb that only installs the google driver and the adb. I never formatted anything. I’m not sure what to do at this point.
