Reset fails to bring up Tri Color at&t with red versions frozen

Thank You VERY MUCH for responding,I went out and bought another 8525 with WM6.1 already loaded on it.I still would like to repair my other one,I have dabbled with Satellite testing for years so I am technically literate and quite experienced with flashing ROms ,ect. I have all of the files you suggested,I put the Hard SPL 7 files into onto the Mini SD card and attemted several Hundred (told you I was desperate)times,It just pops right up with the at&t light blue screen with the world logo and all of thr red letters ,I guess the red "R" is indicating the radio is at 1.54.07.00 the "G" is 32.86u.7020.23H the "D" is 3.62 the "m" at 05,the "S" at 04, and the "B" at 06.

M,S,B,and d,come up instantly followed in about 3 seconds by R and G,there seems to be no hope of getting it to take the SPL7 files from the memory card,I downloaded the XDA tools and have attempted to try and boot from SD with no luch,just that damn at@t logo screen,Is there anyone on the forums that works on these that I could ship it to and pay for their badly needed services.I am getting to the point that I feel like I am not getting anywhere. If anyone can handle this type of repair please either PM me or whatever. I have to give up before this makes me insane.Thanks,Vegas

Did you copy the .nbh file to the card after formatting it fat 32 and then renaming to "hermimg.nbh"?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] knightmedz:
You only need to copy a single file into your micro SD card's root folder -> RUU_SIGNED.nbh which needs to be renamed to HERMIMG.nbh

Press and hold the "OK" button at the side and the "POWER" button at the same time then poke the reset hole under the device with the stylus.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] XtreMe_G:
its been a while since i've done this, but i believe you need to be able to boot the OS to install hardspl, even if its through the sd card.

to unbrick you phone see this link:

after u're done, then you can hardspl

able to boot kind of with L+R soft key + reset

I am able to boot, kind of with L+R soft key + reset ,it will breifly show thw tri colored screen but noy stay there,I jumps to a screen that says

"Do you want to erase all user Data and restore to Manufacturers Default?"

YES = QWERTY (R) KEY

NO = QWERTY (X) KEY

I have tried both,both say successful "Press SpaceBar to reboot" of course it boots back to the at&t screen with the little red letters frzen on screen. I have formatted the SD card FAT32 and renamed the file from SPL 7 to hermimg.nbh not sure how or what that is supposed to do,but I have done it,I do see a glimmer of Hope now that I have seen it do something else ,I am reading my butt off but could still use some guideance.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] XtreMe_G:
no, its not booting the OS, its stuck at the at&t logo. go through that unbrick guide that i posted.

you *might* be able to save it by flashing the at&t rom here:

http://member.america.htc.com/downl...502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe

put your device into bootloader mode, and then connect it to the pc and run the exe file
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Vegaslightsss:
Need ROM image to put on my SD card...

tHAT LINK SEEMS TO BE DEAD,i REGISTERED WITH THE SITE JUST FINE,BO NO FILE,whoops,sorry Caps stuck,no file to be seen,the problem is that I can't run any type of exe as the ROM booting is what I need in order for the PC to "see" the phone through USB for activesync,I need the actual "image" for on the SD card in order to get it fired up so I can Hard SPL it...Vegas
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] XtreMe_G:
sorry, looks like it just wont work with a direct link. go here:

http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=65&act=sd

and click the download link at the bottom.

and like i said, put your device into bootloader and run that exe file. your pc can still "see" your device while it is in bootloader mode. If you want the image, use winrar to extract the contents of that exe, and then look for the biggest file, and then extract the contents of that file. you should see a RUU_signed.nbh, that's your rom image
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] brownianmotion:
Instead of the L+R soft keys, try using the OK button on the left of the device, the power button on the right, then hitting the reset hole. That should put it into the tricolor screen, followed by a screen which says "HERMIMG.nbh" and prints a list of things which it's going to update, then says "Press power button to continue".

Edit: and if you do it without a SD card containing the HERMIMG.nbh file, it should stay in the tricolor screen, with the word "Serial" or "USB" displayed at the bottom, and you can plug it into your computer and flash it that way. I don't use that method, but it involves running the exe file on your computer while the unit is connected by USB cable. See mrvanx's guides for some details.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
One thing, if you connect to usb with it in bootloader, FIRST, open activesync(before you connect the hermes) and go to connection settings. Untick "allow usb connections". This will stop activesync trying to sync up and possibly screwing around with the flash. Cheers...:D

[Android Auto General] ChiefWilNel:
Does anyone know if the xtrons tr108's home/pwr/vol buttons are lit? I might have missed a wire when wiring this up, or they are not lit. If they were not designed to be lit does anyone know of an app that will overlay a volume slider?
[Android Auto General] Hamstervil:
they should be lit as i have seen on amazon they say that you can change the color of those buttons.

Im looking into buy that unit for my 4runner.

could you please confirm if the screen can be moved vertically up and down....not tilt but literally move up and down

thanks in advance
[Android Auto General] gamercorps:
To answer the Qs above, yes I can confirm the touch functions on the left do light up and can change colors. Look to your "dash illumination" 12v wiring(orange?). Keep in mind these only light when your dash does, ie when you turn your running lights on.

Second Qs, the screen has several vertically "notched" positions, there are two release handles on the back(which are hard to get to if the screen is too flush against console) which allow for vertical travel. Dont expect several inches of travel, but some.

Hope that helps. Just got this installed in my ford excursion, happy with it but doesnt seem to have the 2-3sec fast boot I was looking for. This hasnt been rooted, yet.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Face_Plant:
Last night while charging my new Pixel 3 XL I noticed that a little battery icon appeared in the center of the screen, as expected, but it never faded away like it did on every single other phone I've ever owned. It's like the phone was trying to show the charging while off animation that I've seen on my Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, etc, but gets stuck at the initial battery icon.

The behavior is the same if I charge wirelessly or via a cable: it stays there after I remove my phone from the charger and doesn't go away until I reboot. I'm running the December update, rooted, TWRP permanently installed, and ElementalX kernel. Is this normal behavior, or could something I did be causing it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Mech8:
Gotta be something to do with ur root or kernel.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
A few users are reporting this charging while the phone is switched off in another thread. I'm not seeing this but it is not my habit to turn the phone off before charging it. My setup is the same as yours.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Face_Plant:
Are the charging while off battery images still stored in the bootloader? If so, then perhaps it's a bug with the bootloader?
[Xperia Z General] mobi_home:
Hi,

Can you help me for the best solution for my xperia Z in this time (12/2018)

I have original firmware 10.7.A0.228 OS Android 5.1.1 (with king root active) but no TWRP installed. (boot recovery loocked)

I can't boot on a recovery boot for install a custom rom :(

Thanks you
[Xperia Z General] Zerikwan:
Dude, check your bootloader. If your bootloader is locked, then you have to unlock it. Don't forget to backup your TA Partition.

After unlocking bootloader, you can install the latest TWRP.

After installing TWRP, you can install any custom ROM you want.

------------------------------------------

The short explanation above is the way to install custom ROM with unlocked bootloader. If your device bootloader can't be unlocked, the only ROM you can install is the stock-based ROM like PureX Z Premium. And you need a different way to install recovery. One of it is the XZDual Recovery.

The rest, you have to find it yourself. Good luck.

hi, thank you for your help

- i can't enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu the ussd loading but nothink do???? - it's a problem?

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/orig-development/rom-lineageos-15-0-xperia-z-t3721749
[Xperia Z General] Zerikwan:
What? The service menu may be missing.

You can try to hard reset your device, or make a clean install of the stock ROM (I know, it's a pain in the ass). If this method result nothing, then I dunno what to say, sorry. [Beware, this method could erase all of your data. Only proceed if you have nothing important].

Custom ROM with everything work? I think there is none. But I prefer LOS 14.1 over the 15.1.

Since this one has a Exynos chipset I am wondering if the DAC is any good.

So you like the audio quality of this device? What is your rating on a scale of 1 to 10?
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] rumpelst:
I'm able to compare it to a DAC in iPad pro and is pretty good. IPad seems to have better DAC but this deference is not very big and obvious giving that you have many options to enrich sound with Dolby Atmos on A7. I will try to compare it to HTC 10 sound next time but clearly audio quality is good on Samsung.

[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] blazzer12:
Thank you for giving a good reference. If it's closer to iPad Pro I guess it isn't that bad.

Do let us know when you compare this device audio quality to HTC 10.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] rumpelst:
Ok so I did compare A7 to HTC 10 and iPad pro again. I'm quite surprised that A7 sound is better than HTC 10, not a big margin but A7 gives more space in the music. IPad pro is clearly the best. But I need to mention that DAC on HTC is very good and I almost doubt it can be worst than A7 which was not marketed as a music phone.

That is good to hear!

>But I need to mention that DAC on HTC is very good and I almost doubt it can be worst than A7 which was not marketed as a music phone.

It's actually interesting. The official Samsung page for the phone talks only about "Dolby Atoms" and nothing actually about devices audio quality. If it does really use a good DAC the marketing would choose to mention it. Or maybe they did really use a good DAC and amp and they thought no one would care about it!

Anyway thank you for the comparison.
[General Questions and Answers] myabc:
I found some guides to connect a phone, even root, to android wireless car. You need a phone that acts as a server (or client does not understand well) or a pen stick. The purpose of having android wireless car is precisely to eliminate clutter and possibly have an immediate and automatic connection when you get in the car. Is it possible that there is no method to create this wireless connection? Depends on future updates of android for phones this possibility or needless to hope? Thank you

Hi guys, I noticed that on my unit eonon Ga8161 7.1 (px3 mtce KLD) setting a background is lost quality compared to see it in the gallery. I tried to resize the image, cut it with the original screen resolution 1024x600 but without any result .. The gallery quality is good but if set as a background, the image loses quality ..

Hi, I need advice on two very bad bluetooth sound issues with stock dialer phone app on my Kanor PX5 Android 8 4Gb/32Gb head unit:

1. No sound when people call me. When I call, everything works fine, but when I receive a call - no sound. I can pick up, then tap on double-arrow (switch audio to phone), then tap again to switch audio back, and then it sometimes works! But never by default. When I call out using the same stock dialer - usually it works OK.

2. Ringer volume is crazy high, I want to catapult from my car when it rings. No ringer settings anywhere, no separate volume controls, nothing... Is there any way to disable ringer or change the sound?

Is there alternative phone dialer app that can replace the stock one? Any other ideas how to solve that?

Have you solved this problem yet?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] EasyDeath:
Just asking if someone can help me or knows something about future patches.

To reproduce the problem:

Settings - utilities - app locker - add some app

Now open that app, you will be asked to enter password or fingerprint

Now close the app and open recent apps, the app is visible, and also you can see an app called applocker

Before Android 9 the locked app would get his content hidden, now this don't work

Also, now recent apps is horizontal and not vertical, seems garbage like iPhone, 3 hours to find an app

Installing a different launcher solves the problem for recent apps.

Installing old oneplus launcher will crash almost all times.

I see that instead of adding new features, oneplus and Google is removing some useful ones and putting copied garbage from iPhone that no one asked about

Can't believe that in 2018/2019 i still need to search for custom rom to get BASIC features for better productivity

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
Yes that is right. I poked around looking for a while until I came across a couple of files that looked good. Yeah I know...

All I did was take from the a530f the /system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-com.sec.android.app.fm.xml file and put it into my own directory along with the hybrid radio folder and apk in the system/priv-app/ directory. I set permissions accordingly, rebooted and that's it. Files are zipped and ready. Just set permissions right. I don't even know how to push/pull files exactly so if you're rooted then it's an easy deal.

Oh I used fx file explorer. I also hit "symlink" when I copied the folder with the apk. So just reboot and there was the app ready to go.

Enjoy, Canada! Should work generally the same on Samsung devices I would think. No expert but seems like it should.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
Screenshot

Forgot the screenshots and specifics.

1) Download FX File Explorer from playstore (7 day trial and download the root add-on).

2) Put the .xml file in /system/etc/permissions/ and set permission rx- r- r- (you'll have to mount it I believe).

3) Put the folder with apk into /system/priv-app/ directory and I hit "symlink" only. Probably just sets permissions. Reboot and that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
*deleted*
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
the folder in /system/priv-app/ should be rwx r-x r-x and the apk contained within it should be rw- r-- r--

The xml in /system/etc/permissions/ is rw- r-- r--

ALL A530W ON CUSTOM ROMS: you don't have to do this because the rom already has fm radio
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
Yeah i thought so... that's why i thought i put in the apk twice. NOOB!

So just the .xml file then, correct?

I had no idea it was that easy. Cannot figure out how or why i never saw that in any searches.

So really apart from a few apk's, Samsung just magically omitted the files from Canadian W's.

Unreal. Even more unreal is this "locked chip" talk when really it is just not given access from 6 lines of text.

Unless you can point me to other examples, i am going to sort through other device ROMS and post .xml's for easy access. If it is similar for other Galaxy phones.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
Umm... ok are saying the .xml is not needed? Nothing is needed? Not quite sure now
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] 587.saboor:
yes because the rom is based on a530f system
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
So you're saying in order to use the FM radio apk I need to install the SM-A530F ROM?

I think it's better to add the xml instead of flashing an F rom. I know they're the same but if you can grab any firmware from sammobile, flash and no modding I'd love to know about this!

+
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] 587.saboor:
I mean IF any a530w has an a530f rom installed already, they do not need to do this because apk and xmls already exist by default from the rom.

and I mean custom roms, NOT official. (so basically every rom available for this device because a lot of developers aren't from Canada)

(and I think official rom from a530f has fm radio too, I never tried flashing official a530f rom :P)

I have Lightrom on my phone, and it's for a8 and a8+ but the thread is in a8+ forums so check there if you want it :P
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
Oh ok yeah for sure. I didn't think any ROMS wwre available.

BUT... for anyone that has an A8 in Canada that has root and likes their current set up (do we ever stop)? Then this is an easy addition.

I used hades A8 port when i had my A5 and i think i got spoiled. I shall go download and flash away now...

finally got it working

i tried on 3 different roms with no luck. finally i got it working on the floydport rom. no xml needed. i had to put the hybrid radio folder and apk into system/apps after mounting read write, then installed with the root installer built in fx explorer, rebooted and now i have working radio. for some reason every time i put them in the priv-apps folder they dissapear on reboot. just posting in case someone else is having problems. thanks for the apk!!
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
Yes the floyd rom had a file in peemissions already.

When i was doing it i probably did not do it right.

But i was successful at it again after going to stock after January's update.

I used fx and navigate to areas i needed and unlock the mount lock up top along the way and back out unmounting.

If you did floyd, then do the treble rom and not only is it a decent rom on its own and able to switch images easily, it has radio already there.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
Do the treble!
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] 07blackwater:

[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] Commodore36:
Any luck to perform this on a non rooted stock firmware? May with adb or another thing?
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
That's a good question. You would need to push just two files. If you had an A8 when released up until a certain point you'd only need to push the .xml

They never even bothered removing the apk.

So, since i am rooted with treble on a device without official treble support from Samsung, and a modified version of one ui, maybe you should try. I think it's a bit easier if you go first.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] newp20pro:
Is there a simple way to get the FM radio working like you said by just copying a file to a folder? I'm kind of a newbie at this and was wondering if anyone would consider writing the "how to" for this procedure that someone like me could understand. Just a simple step by step 1 2 3 on where to get the fm file and app and how to copy them in the A520W folders to make that FM tuner work. I was a little shocked Canadian carriers would even consider omitting the radio purely based on their greed......... ok, I wasn't really shocked, it's pretty much the norm up here.
[Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Themes, Apps and Mods] mindlery:
There is an EXTREMELY simple way as of a few months ago.

One of the updates around August or so, Samsung enabled use of Next Radio. So, you won't be able to install and use the Samsung Hybrid Radio app but Next Radio does work for listening to local radio, free with zero data.

A small victory for Canadian A8 2018 owners.

Of course nobody was ever informed aside from me posting on here.

For months i was sending emails to get this done. They worded it as such that it was a fix. But it was never broken.

Anyway, there you go!

You may get a message from the app telling you it cannot scan for stations. No prob. Plug in your headphones, use the basic tuner to scroll (or just tap it to enter the station numerically) and add'em to your favourites.
