[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imsodin:
I purchased a HTC M8 dual sim phone. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest twrp on it, all seemed fine. However when rebooting to recovery it's stuck at "entering recovery...". There's tons of threads about that suggesting various version of twrp, so far I have tried (erasing cache in between):

twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img

twrp-2.8.0.0-m8.img

twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img

twrp-2.8.3.0-m8.img

twrp-2.8.7.0-m8.img

twrp-3.0.0-1-m8.img

twrp-3.1.1-0-m8.img

twrp-3.2.3-1-m8.img

twrp-3.3.0-0-m8.img

twrp-3.3.1-0-m8.img

However I always get either stuck at entering recovery or go directly back to bootloader.

So I wanted to do OTA updates first, but HTC doesn't allow me to anymore. So I installed stock recovery from here: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860 Still couldn't install the OTA. So i (probably stupidly followed these instructions to get S-ON: https://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/how-to-to-stock-unroot-lock-bootloader-t3505783

The getvar all reports:

In some old threads about dual sim "special" twrp imgs like TWRP_Recovery_2.8.0.5_M8_CPTB.img are recommended, but the download links are broken.

So in the end I'd just like to get twrp installed, from there I know my way around (I'd have tried lineage first). Any pointers/ideas what to try next to achieve that?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
S-off does not limit OTA. So maybe not the best idea to make it s-on again. On the other hand, s-on will not limit installation of TWRP, custom ROMs, etc.

Also, if the device was made s-off by sunshine, you should be able to install the sunshine app, and just s-off it again with no fee. The sunshine license is forever associated with the device, and if it was purchased once, you can s-off that device again and again.

Far as I can recall, the dual SIM M8 did require it's own version of TWRP. Keep trying to find a working link, is all you can do.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imsodin:
Good to know about s-on, then it won't bother me.

As to a working link: They all go to yandex/mega/..., i.e. no luck with any archives. I scoured xda and google, and all broken links or pointers to the "normal" m8 twrp (often explicitly stating that it's the same for dual sim, e.g. https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/twrp-recovert-htc-one-m8-dual-sim-t3384609). I really don't want to write this phone off, well mostly I don't want to look for an alternative, but I am at my wits end and wasting too much time o.O
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It is confusing to determine whether the dual SIM requires its own recovery or not, as I looked at some threads myself. But the thread you linked in particular, the guy that says it is the same recovery (as the single SIM M8) ckpv5, I don't think I've ever seen him wrong about anything. So I would take his word for it.

Based on his thread here: https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

the proper TWRP version for OS version 3.xx should be TWRP 2.8.3.0, so you should focus there. I know you tried it already, but it doesn't hurt to try it again.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imsodin:
TLDR:

This device isn't unproblematic to handle - don't just assume anything from previous experience as I did. I manages to create a paperweight (technically maybe recoverable, but I don't have the patience anymore to try).

Thanks for keeping me on the right track, I managed to get twrp 2.8.1.0 (sic!) to work. I doubt the following will be helpful to anyone, but who knows:

fastboot getvar all showed the above output, i.e. version 3.33.401.6. However when I tried to get the downloaded OTA (for the firmware) I noticed it says it will upgrade to 3.33.401.6. So checking the settings in Android I find that my actual version is 1.45.401.12. Which according to https://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860 means you should use twrp 2.8.1.0.

I was pretty sure I already tried that, but I probably didn't. I did find a dubious claim that you need to flash the recovery twice immediately and then erase cache and did that for good measure (I know I am not supposed to, but when it comes to all things android/phone I do believe in "weird s**t").

Now after that I installed LOS 16 - well I tried. TWRP fails to report the model which aborts the installation. So I removed the asserts from LOS' install script. Stupid move: It doesn't only check the model but also the bootlocker - and that was actually incompatible. Obviously as I have no reason to go back to some ancient HTC OS I didn't do a backup. So now I can't boot a system to get to s-off and can't install an RUU - which for all I read is the only way to get back on track to update the firmware. Just for funsies I also tried to flash a newer boot.img in hopes to get to bootloader 0.19, but that didn't have any effect.

The only way out would be to install some ROM that runs on bootloader 0.18 - I didn't find any. Then get to s-off using sunshine, then go through the entire back-to-stock dance and finally use OTAs to update firmware and once done go back to custom. Well, actually that would have been the intuitive and logical thing to do in the first place: Exhaust all official upgrades, backup, go custom. But inpatient me wanted to take the shortcut to custom and now I spent hours for nothing.

Sorry for the lengthy rant
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imsodin:
The problem is my CID has been changed to 111111 (which I read is some kind of magical super-power CID, don't know why though :P), thus I can't flash any RUUs. I tried flashing a few x.x.401.x firmwares without success.

Anyway thanks again for helping me - in the meantime I lost the phone I wanted to replace, which was the final trigger to abandon this project and just get a cheap new phone that I'll hopefully not butcher (for now (still gets security updates) it'll get Magisk Root only - after upgrading and backing up).
[Android Head-Units] martinique78:
I just bought this unit off amazon.

It's a Podofo Android 2din with 8.1

I hate the stock user interface. I've tried using some of the launchers like webcarguru but every time i switch back the the home screen my bluetooth music stops or the built in radio app stops. i'm just sick of seeing Adele on my home screen. I like the other UI's like UI4 and UI5. How do i switch to those?

I also hate the fact that my iphone can only play via bluetooth and only charges via the cable.

I know it's not a fancy radio but i expected a little more i guess as far as tailoring it to my needs.

I want to tweak the radio but I haven't really gotten any straight answers as to what my radio actually is by just searching and what root will work or which firmware or roms to use. Any help is appreciated.

[Android Head-Units] The Android Attorney:
Maybe you should return it if you feel that way. My question is what made you want to buy it?
[Android Head-Units] martinique78:
Well I bought it because of some misleading info on Amazon. I tried to return it and they ended up refunding me but letting me keep the radio.

Now I just want to improve it. Different UI, add subwoofer output. It looks like from what ive been reading it's a matter of rooting and finding the right firmware. It seems like this unit is the same as all the others people are modding or updating.
[Android Head-Units] Kiwi.987:
Hello, I bought this unit too (the exact like martinique78) but my unit is total waste of money, it can't even properly go on playstore to update it own apps, do you guys have this issue too ? :(

I cannot install a single other app, I already tried deleting cache of playstore and so on...

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] martinique78:
I didn't have any issues with the play store on the stock rom or the one i'm using now.. I did finally find a better ROM for this unit and flashed it in. I also relocated one of the video out RCA's to the subwoofer output pin to get sub control.

Basically I have been reading and tweaking this unit to make it what I want.
[Android Head-Units] lost mail:
HI,

do you have a link and "how to" for installing the alternative ROM ?

I`m looking for a rom/apps which shows album covers for music and have an RDS-Function.

At first I had some trouble with the battery, too as the device did not turn off when ignition was off....2 days later battery down.

I had to remove a cable connection and now the radio is out when i turn off ignition and put the car key out.

Hope that the (new) battery now lives for the next 5 years...
[Android Head-Units] martinique78:
I don't know of a good link that describes the process very well. A lot was taken from a russian site using google translate. I can describe what I did that worked for me.

1. Get SPflash tools - https://mega.nz/#!LAl1FI6D!CJa2AHokZkZj120q5C4Dn_vuPeea-N6eSp2FJ6js2xY/view

Install the drivers for mediatek located in the download file. (this will take a while and give you warnings for possible risk installing) If you have windows 10 there is more work needed to install due to security. Just look up installing mediatek drivers on windows 10 for a youtube video.

2. Get or make a male to male type A usb cable.

3. Open flash tool click download. Choose (MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin) for Download agent. Should be located in the Same extracted folder you opened up the flash tool.

4. Locate a rom that works for your version radio. Should be YT9216/17 or YT9218. This is the rom I am using right now. Only flash this if you have the same radio as me.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17cFt2W7YaKiA20TilCP5bF6lJhsIfYEl/view

5. Choose the scatter file inside the folder of whichever rom you downloaded and load it into flash tool where it says scatter-loading file. Go down to the list and and check every box but UNCHECK Preloader. Hit download button.

6. With the radio powered up, plug in the male to male usb cable into USB-1 on the radio and the other end into your computer. Hit the reset button on the front panel. You should see hear the laptop connect and the flash tool should show download progress. DON'T REMOVE POWER OR TOUCH ANYTHING!!!

7. Once you see download complete on the flash tool, remover the USB from the radio and hit the reset button on the radio again. The radio should reboot as normal with your new rom. It will take a while for the first boot but after that it should start up right away.

Post the about device info before you do this though so I can tell you if it is the same as mine. As for finding apps and roms that work for you it's just a matter of trying each one out.

Are you trying to see album art from a memory stick, usb connected music player, iphone or android phone, bluetooth? Depending on what you're trying to use it's a different route or not possible.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Giuskiller:
Hi, i think almost everyone here heard about the upcoming MIUI 11 update (rolling out from middle October in China). I'm pretty excited about that, but i have a question i cannot answer myself. Will the MIUI 11 come with the new OS Android 10 or will it come just as it is without OS update? I'm asking that because of two things:

1) I've read somewhere that Xiaomi already confirmed Android 10 for our device.

2) Instead the MIUI 11 Beta, avaible in China, is actually based on Android Pie

So...what are your toughts about that? Feel free to answer!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] bluviper:
this is true for beta version, (mi-Globe / EUROM)

yes im already on MIUI 11, but it still based on Android 9 no doubt.

but the introduction of new features makes you want to use this ROM more and more (personal opinion)

system-wide dark mode still misses some notif/popup windows (its still on light)

AoD new styles are great, very artistic

they said MiShare is faster, cant feel it. but its not slow. i think it feels the same as V10

and the other features were there just before we hit MIUI 11. I guess this would benefit the stable users more.

its actually not a night and day change. you kinda appreciate those little adjustments. icons, stuff like that. not much for themes tho

its one of those regular updates that you want to jump into. and yea its kinda pretty cool.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Giuskiller:
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm sure i'll like it too! Just hope they'll push Android 10 before Android 11 lol. I'm okay with Pie, it works good and has a HUGE amount of apps and will support them for long time for sure. On the other hand, this device in Global version was born with Pie so...would be nice to see at least one major update. I've heard somewhere that Xiaomi launched Mi MIX 3 with Oreo in China so basically Android 10 would be the last OS update even in EU/Global version because of some strange thinking about their update politics
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] bluviper:
what's good about with Pie is that, stereo speaker mod is still working, and maybe it wont work on 10. still enjoying the mod

You guys surely know already but last china beta (9.10.10) is miui 11 based on A10... Not that android version makes any significant difference for the end user but well, always nice to be en par with google I guess :)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Giuskiller:
I've read the news on XDA. And yes, i don't care so much about android version rather that security updates but you know.. a one year device is expected to see at least two major updates xD
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] albertoduqe:
Well never trust only manufacturer for that :)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Giuskiller:
This is so true. I've learnt the lesson with Honor 8. They wanted to kill the device but after a lot of time and people's petition they finally released oreo. Now i'm at the first experience with Xiaomi but as i've read around they're used to update frequently their devices. Don't know so much abouth their policies about updates though, so we can say i'm just hoping that the "Two major updates" rule will be followed
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] albertoduqe:
It usually gets to a point when a device is dead unless community keeps it alive. And that is awesome. I actually choose my devices partly attending to their development support. I still have my old hammerhead, 5 or 6 years on, and it is running nice pie roms and surely some 10's will come. Last google firmware is marshmallow. That is really cool :)

Still, of course it is good and nice that a newish devices keeps being updated by OM.

In my case, more than android version I wish xiaomi updated kernel source, but that is way too far fetched I'm afraid.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] RainbowXQF:
Right now I'm using MIUI 11 9.10.11 beta version and it's based on Android 10. I'm on the MIX 3 Android 10 close beta group and get updated everyday.

I know that some of this has already been released in other locations on this site by other members. I do not take any credit for their applications. These are just a couple of Apps ripped from the Diamond roms and made in to .cab format for a few people to enjoy.

Once again, I know that some of this has already been released by other XDA members. These .cab's were made by myself from some OEM packages.

I have tested all of them using L26 Diamond V5 rom. The only one I am having trouble with is the Large Title Bar.cab. BTW, I am running a Tilt on AT&T network.

I take no responsibility for any damages that may occur due to installation of these apps. Install at your own risk.

ENJOY:D

1. HTC Diamond Audio Booster<<This one keeps asking for me to plug in a headset. I only have a pair of bluetooth headphones so I can't verify that this one is fully functional.

2. HTC Diamond Large Title Bar

3. HTC Diamond MP3 Trimmer<<This is my personal favorite. I'm really liking this app. Also tested on a non-Diamond port rom.

5. HTC Diamond Streaming Media

4. HTC Diamond Sound Suite<<I already released this one in one of L26 previous Diamond threads but I thought I'd just add it back here with all of this other.

I think it has been released already. I'm still working on my version though with QVGA support. I'll post it when I finish it.:D

Edit:

Ok, it has been released already by XDA member fultotop. I installed it and it works fine. It is already QVGA. The only issue is that you cannot rotate and zoom like in my Tilt's existing HTC Album. Therefore I uninstalled it but I can say that it does work in non-Diamond port roms and Diamond ported roms. I will abort my efforts since you do not have the ability to rotate image orientation. Also, it's a bigger file than the Diamond keyboard cab. All that being said, here it is.

THanks for the apps :D.

I keep getting an error with the Large Title bar installation, it refuses to install and repeatadly asks me to try to install the app in a different location. I'm trying to install it on the device. The previous version I tried from the Development section had the same issue.

With the Audio booster cab I cant seem to turn on the equalizers. THis is strange as the Diamond and Kaiser use the same DSP, since this must be a hardware equalizer it should work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] P1Tater:
1. I get the same error with any rom I try. Still looking in to it. I let it go here to see if someone might be able to figure it out.

2. I don't have any wired headsets, only bluetooth, so I can't test this one. I noticed it did load but it asked me to plug in my headset. Sorry. I also released it because if it's not working, I figured some of the great minds in here might be able to figure it out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] aksd:

2. The app does'nt seem to be communicating with the hardware, I wonder if some sort of driver is required. I dont know much about WM dlls and stuff, but thats my assumption. Have you found all dependant dlls?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] P1Tater:

No, the large start menu inscreases the font of the start menu like that from the cruise and the Dual, but also increases font size of the menu items.
