and me being curious and a coward have a few questions:
my phone : bootloader unlocked, stock rom ics rru /stock kernel, rooted, cwx recovery and S-ON.
1) Can it be flashed on the htc vivid safely?
2) Can it be flashed on a S-ON device?
3) Can it be unflashed ?. just incase..
4) any one else here using it ?
5) Do u even recommend it?

I'll try it out. Should work tho its confirmed working on a few HTC already. The ROMS on here probably already have some of the tweaks

Thanks for the quick reply, yeah I saw where it confirmed for a few HTC phones, but no mention of S-off or not it's required...etc we know HTC is difficult....

Always remember to make a current Nandroid backup before you do it, then you can try almost anything!

Yea I don't think it matters about s-off. Only matters when trying to flash kernels or splash screens

thanks....
now if only i knew what tweaks to enable to improve the vivid...
its not like a htc specific too .. its abroad 'all android' tool.. so i'm sure some wont help infact may even be negative to my vivid...

I would just worry a bit about the PmR settings clashing with cooked-in settings in the ROM. I'm downloading it now and will play with it.

This tool assumes your on the stock rom, so i need to add a feature that returns system to stock before beginning. Good question thanks. If your on a custom rom or kernel, running this will put your phone into "soft-bricked" state until you run an ruu

Looks like a great tool to have

Question so I can potentially increase my understanding of HTC phones:
What is the difference between flashing a RUU and running this tool? I thought a RUU was supposed to return your phone to stock-everything?

The tool makes it easier with all the prep to run RUU in one place. It relocks the bootloader first and I believe he said he was looking into adding RUU. More or less one stop shopping. Running RUU also does not grant s-on.

Will this work with 1.31.x? Last I downloaded the 1.31.x update months ago and haven't been able to return to stock since there were only RUU tools for 1.29.

[Q] m8_whl can't flash cm11

I have the HTC M8 from sprint. I just finished rooting it and when I went to flash the new nightly (20140527) using TRWP, it showed this:

Did I do something wrong? If there's some way to add "m8_whl" to the list of devices, please let me know.

Usually I would get that message in the case of a bad download.

I tried redownloading it multiple times to no avail. It just refuses to install because ...
This package is for "m8,m8wl,m8wlv,m8vzw,m8whl,m8spr" devices; this is a "m8_whl"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
... which makes no sense because I got my m8 from Sprint. Doesn't this mean that the device should be an "m8spr"?

Try using @Captain_Throwback recovery

Just open the updater-script in the zip file and add m8_whl to the assert line at the top.

It works!
Will I have to add this line every time there's a new update, or can it be added to the official nightlies?
Edit: I may have spoken too soon. My device was rebooting relentlessly. It would show the "Welcome to CM" screen, then google things would crash, rinse, repeat all in about 10 seconds. Then it went to just showing the boot animation. I managed to turn it off using pwr&vol+, but it somehow encrypted itself. Spooky.
Edit 2 (The return of edit): I forgot to wipe /data. No more crashing now, though my question about the updater-script above still stands.

This is the best thing to do OP. Always trust the Cap'n and his code^^ =)

[Q] S Off and Updating ROM on GSM Unlocked One M8

Hey guys, how's it going?
Well, I recently bought an HTC One M8. It is the Sprint Variant I believe. So it was an unlocked version with ViperOne 1.7.0 installed. I checked for updates and found there was an update for 1.8.0, to which I instantly updated. I was aware that Viper 2.4.0 is available for the device too, hence my question is if it's okay to update to flash/update full ROMs to this unlocked M8? I am aware that I would lose the unlock on non Sense based ROMs though. So, is there anything I should consider/remember before flashing the full ROM to the device?
Another problem I am facing is with achieving S Off. I am aware about what all of this is as I have always been involved with such things but always with factory unlocked variants. Anyway, I tried the firewater method, for at least 10 times but everytime it says that it can't S Off my device. (Screenshot Attached)

}
Is there something I can do about this? Anyone who had faced this and resolved it?
Other than these two little issues, my final question is that IF in case anything goes wrong, would a Nandroid Backup restore my phone to the current state INCLUDING the SIM Unlock?
In simpler terms, can anyone tell me what all can and can not affect the SIM unlock on my device? Kernels, ROMs, Mods, etc?
I did a lot of search before posting this thread (two nights) and found answers to many other questions and doubts but not to these three. Sorry if these are all actually noob questions. Thank you!

Anyone?

Only way to achieve soff is sunshine in conditions like you. It works like a charm. if you would have problem with sim unlock, Then, flash Bad Boyz rom and follow the instruction at second post. Just past same path 4 days ago

I would definitely do all of this but now I have another problem. I attempted to change runtime on Venom 1.8.0 but now it wouldn't reboot. Doesn't go past "HTC One" screen on boot. Can't try any other ROM because my broadband is having troubles. *sad*

Their is a small zip to change runtime back to dalvik it's your best choice or reflash the Rom next time do a nandroid before doing that. Your phone will not boot because you have a tweak or theme/mod that art doesn't like.. good luck remember the zip is in the read me section of viperrom.

I had a couple of NANDROID backups but they didn't correct the issue either. In the end, I had to wipe system and flash the ROM again. Works fine since then.

I have the ATT VERSION and it just finished installing. The camera app works great. I try the rest out in morning and post. Post your thoughts of it.

Post some screenshots! How's it feel?

I got it last night as well. It feels different, runs smooth. I need more time to tell if battery is better. I'm mixed on the new UI...but it will grow on me. I haven't taken any pics with it yet...but the app looks different so I am sure there are changes. I love having system wide dark mode now. Overall it is an improvement from a short test drive.

I flashed from att to Unlocked, Is there a way to flash back?

T-Mobile is rolling out Android 10 now ....

T-Mobile
Got it on my T-Mobile V40 device as well. Just rebooted and it is installing right now.
Edit: Size is about 1.3Gb

What is Verizon doing? Why sleeps

Probably seeing what bloatware they can shove into it, first! I'm on a pre-release V40, and often get stuff right away.

Still waiting for the us unlocked version sigh

Has anyone with AT&T who did the unlock via the 9008 mode try this update? Right now my update fails, logcat shows a CRC error because boot_a was modified. I assume if I wanted to apply this update I'd need to restore boot_a and laf_a to the original copy. Then update, then unlock again via 9008 mode. Any issues with the unlock method and Android 10?

Got the T-Mobile update yesterday. The Settings page is completely reorganized and more logically arranged.

Any Android 10 update for the US Unlocked V405QA7? Someone on reddit mentioned it being out already.

I should know better than to ask questions from customer service! Link got me somewhere general, nothing specific. What a surprise.
