[Q] purple tint changing. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I suffer purple tint on video HDR Mode. Haven't camera all mode,video normal mode. Only purple tint occurs on video hdr mode. So I planned to change the terrible camera module. Is it cost to change the module??? I think the htc must change free of charge because they made wrong module.
And If I send to htc customer center, Will not broken my m7??? I'm worring.!!! The m7 is known too difficult to fix!! They should break my M7 to fix. My m7 is perfect clean no scratch. I heard htc center is ****.!
If htc change the module, Will they change my m7 to new body?? M7 too is difficult to fix so they break m7's side line(plastic).So I think they must change my all m7's body(speaker grill, back plate, except screen) If Fixing is harmful to my all m7's body, I won't change the module.

I sent mine to HTC for purple camera tint repair. I must say I thought the service was excellent.
I was only without my phone for 5 days, they did not replace any external part like screen or body casings. I meticulously examined the device before and after for any signs of damage from the procedure. And I can tell you there are none. I honestly couldn't tell that anything had been done to the phone apart from the purple tint was gone.
It is definitely worth getting it fixed as it will only get worse overtime. If your worried about the device being damaged during the procedure take plenty of pictures from all angles before you send it. But I don't think it's necessary. In my experience the HTC Service center was excellent. :good:

What I worry my device area is side line.(attached file).
To fix it, the m7 should lift the screen,main board. This procedure damage the device's sideline(plastic). I'm worry this.!!! If they did changing the camera module and repack my m7(damaged sideline), m7 isnt pretty anymore because of damaged sideline.
And I want to ask you.Is the htc change the m7's sideline(because they lift the mainboard so damaged sideline plastic) after Fixing procedure????
I want to come back my m7 no damage.
And change the module is free of charge?? I heard the warranty is 2years. And I bought 2013.12 and was made 2013.10.
Please reply.!! Thank u for ur replying me.
Ps. Sorry I have a question. Will htc reuse my device part(damaged sideline)??
And If they damage my m7's sideline or other parts, Will they change the new part like what I sent perfect m7's body???

You're worth it
Hi Danny.
I sent mine back to my phone service carrier last week and they replaced the phone with a new/like new phone.
Turnaround was exceptional. Went on Tuesday, Arrived Wednesday morning, service engineer looked at for 2 hours, new phone shipped 2 hours later and back in my hands 36 hours later on Saturday morning!
Camera is brill now and no worries with earphone mic anymore.
(recognition when earphone plug inserted - sometimes had to fiddle with plug to get it working - and intermittent scratchy FM radio)
At no cost.
Don't worry, just do it.

So no need worry about damage my device on fixing procedure??
If they damage my phone parts to fix, will they change the new part not my original part(damaged by htc to fix). I'm worrying that. And No cost to change module?? Just free??

If your phone is under warranty then they will fix it for free.

I bought in 2013.12 and manufactured in 2013.10. Will take for free??

My phone carrier offers a 2-yr warranty for the life of my contract.
Standard warranty is for a year..
You need to check your purchase details for your warranty. Your warranty will be in sale agreement.

My phone was 2 times at repair.
I sent it because of this purple tint problem.
It came back with a new camera but with a lot of scratches, damaged parts and big gaps between body and display.
I sent it back to repair and then they replaced everything on my phone. Body, display, frames, speakers...
Now it looks like a new phone.
But I was really disappointed after I received my phone the first time :/

It was completely free, but I had a 2 year warranty.
S-Off is possible with sunshine s-off.
It's an app, but it costs you 25$.

Mine was also repaired free under warranty although I think HTC fix purple camera free anyway since they confirmed it's a manufacturing defect but you should check that with repair center. Don't take my word for it.
Hboot 1.57 can be s-off with firewater I've done it twice. If you get an error that says
********** whelp, this sucks, firewater can not work on your device **********
********** no amount of reflashing, retrying, or ruuing will fix... **********
********** DO NOT COME TO IRC ASKING FOR UPDATES OR ETAS!!!!!! **********

Then you know Firewater will not work, otherwise you should keep trying. Unfortunately there is no exact science to getting s-off with firewater. Bulletproof Kernel works well with firewater to get past the Anti Firewater Patch. But for me Stock Jelly bean Rom with Stock Kernel worked best.

I used the stock Rom that was supplied on my phone when I got it luckily I kept a nandroid backup of it when I first rooted my phone.
If you want to try stock older stock Rom you can try a Guru Reset that matches your cid and mid.

Try this Rom with firewater. http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-707-1-zip/
In the Aroma Installer choose options
Stock Recovery =No
Stock Radio =Yes
Root =Yes
This will install Stock Rooted Jellybean for your device then try Firewater to s-off. If it still doesn't work flash compatible Bulletproof Kernel and try again :fingers-crossed:

Can't install ? What was the error. Did you use TWRP 2.6.3.3?
You formatted your phone and now it doesn't boot? Sideload or push the Guru Reset Rom with adb in twrp recovery.

HTC J One

Guys, I just moved to Japan and bought the HTC J One from AU, and between never owning a HTC phone before and not being able to find any definitive information on this phone for development I thought I'd ask before trading the waters.
Is there development going on for this variant? And if so how do I go about rooting it and installing cyanogenmod? I'm at a loss here and any help would be appreciated. I've read a lot of the threads but I also know that this is a CDMA variant with a SD slot so I'm worried about using the normal methods posted here
Sent from my HTL22 using xda premium
a good start would be to go into bootloader and run the command "fastboot getvar all" and post your results here (without your IMEI or MEID)
I bought one of these phones a couple months ago and haven't had a whole lot of success with installing ROMs. The phone is an anomaly. The only luck I've had is with a custom CyanogenMod that one person is building. You can get it here: https://github.com/tako0910/release/wiki/HTL22_CyanogenMod It seems to run fine, though I've since stopped using the phone so I can't really vouch for it.

According to Wikipedia (I know, I know....) the One J is a Japanese variant of the One S (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_One_series)
I found the specs for the device here: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_j-4997.php
Maybe the One S forums would b a good place to poke around in?

I'm in the exact same boat. I've successfully gotten S-OFF and unlocked the bootloader with revone and installed TWRP. I tried the build of CM posted above and everything seemed to work just fine except the cellular service itself. I got the data working, but it kept saying Roaming Indicator Flashing, and calls/sms were a no go. Since I'm stuck here in Japan with AU service, I'd really like to get a decent ROM running on it so I can get rid of this stock trash.

The wiki page is fine, but the HTC J and the HTC J One are different phones. The J is a phone from last year that is indeed a variant of the One S. Confusing.

When you put the stock ROM back on, was your service restored? Mine stopped working completely. Not really sure why

There's also development of a HTL22 J One Global Edition ROM. More info here: http://htcsoku.info/htcsokudev/2013device/m7_wlj/dev/global_edition/
I haven't tried it recently but it seems to work. Doesn't really help if, like me, you want to get rid of Sense.

Yeah, I restored a stock backup and everything was fine.
I'd really like to get rid of Sense too, but I might have to give the Global Edition a try.
This Google Play Edition looks promising, but apparently the mobile data isn't working yet.

[Q] Pink Camera Issue, Need to restore to stock

So I have the pink camera issue. I noticed it today when trying to take a video of the meteor shower happening. I am currently on viper ROM and my phone is unlocked, tampered and s-on. My problem is I am with Virgin Mobile(Canada) and I cannot seem to find a stock ROM so I can send this phone in for warranty.
Once I get back to the stock ROM how can I remove the Tampered and Unlocked messages?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Are you sure you need to restore the phone to stock? Since they sold you a phone with a hardware defect, they may have a legal responsibility they can't ignore. In most civilized countries, a seller has to repair or replace a defective product.

Surely it is "in jeopardy". But my rooted and S-Off phone was repaired under warranty due to the same camera issue. I'm not in your country, but it's probably worth a little googling to find out. Maybe even call them to ask, but don't give them your name/IMEI/serial (tell them your friend is borrowing the phone, but before you get it back, you need to know whether the rooted unit's defective camera component it can be fixed under warranty).

Let me clarify. Based on my personal experience (not internet hearsay), some warranty repair centers do not care about a phone being tampered/s-off/unlocked. They noticed (and mentioned it to me over the phone), but repaired it anyway, free of charge. Now, can you clarify why you think that's not true?

Well, they rejected my phone. The first thing they did was check the bootloader. They said that i would have to pay for the repair because the bootloader was unlocked. I think HTC's policies differ in different countries.

There is an RUU available for your device. But you will need S-OFF because you have installed the 4.3 OTA. So, use Rumrunner to S-OFF. Then, ill guide you through the rest

Ok, firewater worked, phone is now S-OFF.
The phone is with Virgin Mobile, which I believe is the same company as Bell, I had bell's self serve app on my phone when I first got it. I also bout an old iPhone on a Bell network and it worked fine with a Virgin Sim card.

Ok, cool. Now here's the guide to going to stock:

The 1st post is important, it gives you the list of downloads and prerequisites. READ IT A FEW TIMES VERY CAREFULLY
Then, move to post 5. The method you will be using to return to stock is the CWM NANDROID method.
Now, the RUU you will be using is this:

when you flash the ruu.zip you will actually downgrade to hboot 1.44, which is no problem unless if you are on Win 8.1

[Q] [HELP] Active cmdline overflow! (1025 Bytes)

Hey Guys,
I've had 0 problems since I started off with my HTC One (m7).
Last rom I used was Cynogenmod v3 "http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11s-4-4-4-int-l-att-t-t2822636"
It was nice but I wanted to revert to stock Sense 5.5 Rom
So as I always installed my roms. with TWRP
I did a wipe (not internal storage, cuz i want to keep my photos)
Installed this rom "DLX_WL_K442_SENSE55_MR_4.19.401.8_odexed"
wiped dalvic cache etc etc
when I pressed the reboot button it asked me to install SuperSU or not.
I clicked Yes
After that the HTC boot logo showed up & i got straight into the Fastboot screen & got this weird Error with a red line saying :
"Active cmdline overflow! (1025 Bytes)"
Here is what i see on my screen right now :

DLX is for DROID DNA, so you have flashed a rom for the HTC Droid DNA on your HTC One M7 which have corrupted your MISC partition (mmblck0p19). This partition can not be restored using a RUU or a ROM. Your only hope to get your phone back in a working state is by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739126.
Next time, before flashing a rom, read carefully!
from the rom thread:

CDMA and GSM support
Completely stock
Not rooted with possibility to root (with Rooting Tools)
No busybox included with possibility to add busybox (with Rooting Tools)

Have you tried CWM6.0.2.8? has worked for a few S-On guys
also try the newer TWRPs, in particular 2.7.1.1 and 2.7.1.0
also try doing a "factory reset" in bootloader, that should clear a part of the misc partition.

I've tried every single recovery in your thread.
I couldn't get it to work.
still boots directly into the bootloader screen & when i press recovery.
the screen saying it's entering shows up for like a half second and jumps back to start.

The question is why would someone flash a rom without taking an additional 1 minute to read the OP
The rom you have flashed was posted in the Droid DNA forum
The Dev specifies in the OP that the target device is the Droid DNA
unfortunately, you must have a working recovery to repair the misc partition. If you can't flash one even after following the guide from nkk71, you can not do much more yourself. Maybe it could be fixed with a JTAG flash?
I'll just try my phone provider.
If they won't repair it i'll just trow it in the garbage bin & get myself a m8 or G3..

if you can find someone to s-off your phone by java card then you can downgrade your HBOOT to 1.44 and the recovery will work, a working rom is not required for any of these steps.

I'm getting a bit hopefull so I really hope someone can get it to S-off & downgrade it.
or else it'll cost me another 34 euro a month for a new phone subscription. that's 2x 34 = 68 euro monthly. hurts my wallet xD

Try flashing twrp 2.5. When I had no access to recovery thats the only one that I was able to flash

Bad flash, now I can't call/SMS. Need to back to stock.

Hey there, I flashed a ROM and apparently it messed up my M7 Sprint I can't call or receive SMS, also I can't install apps even from OTG cable, I think this ROM is broken. Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue, I hope it's the latter. I can use the camera, WI-FI and play media files.
I have HBOOT 1.44 and my bootloader says TAMPERED and UNLOCKED.
How can I get back to stock from this stage? I'm super noob every bit of help will be appreciated

Ok so sounds like your having a rough time. I will try my best for you .
First of all some more information please. Boot you phone into the bootloader and connect fastbootusb. Then in your Fastboot command line type.
Code:
fastboot getvar all
And post the output here. Please edit out your serial no. And imei no.
what Rom did you flash and which recovery are you using? Did you clean flash i.e perform a full wipe before flashing, or Dirty flash i.e flash the Rom without wiping anything?
If the phones booting it can't of done anything to serious so let's hope this is an easy fix

Your phone does not appear to be a Sprint m7. As they have product I'd m7wls
Yours has m7_ul so it is international version. If you flashed a Sprint Rom that would certainly explain your problem. Luckily your s-on so shouldn't have done to much damage.
What Rom did you flash and which recovery are you using?

Your firmware also appears to be very old there is a reset zip i think will do the trick.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-161-1-zip/
This reset zip should return you to stock so you take ota updates, then you can update to official kitkat Rom and firmware.
Reroot the phone and install a international based Rom. Stay away from TWRP 2.7.1.1 though you'll notice in your getvar version main is blank. That's caused by TWRP 2.7.1.1. Stick with TWRP 2.6.3.3 to avoid this happening again.

Yes just flashes like a normal Rom from TWRP recovery, it will replace your custom recovery with stock and your Rom.
I think your firmware is probably still older than this reset.zip though. I'm not sure if that will cause a problem.
So you could also download this OTA extract the firmware from it and flash it manually to bring your firmware in line with the reset.zip
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ota_m7_..._p_release_325133_signedlqk8p6c09r7kmir2-zip/
That will require relocking the bootloader though but you can always unlock again after.

yeah the Guru_Reset requires unlocked bootloader and TWRP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery.
To take the over the air updates it's Important that you choose to install
stock recovery and say no to root in the guru reset Aroma installer.
Good luck !!
Thanks guys, both of you have been very kind and helpful I will try this and tell you tomorrow (its night in Spain).
@clsA do you know about the firmware will he need to update it to match the reset or will it still update ok as is ?

Probably best to do it then in that case, better safe than sorry thanks.
Ok so hopefully this will tell you everything you need.
Download the ota file as well. Then open it on your pc and extract the firmware.zip from it and place it in your Fastboot folder. Then follow this small guide I put together.
Ok so the plan is to upgrade your software to complete Stock 2.24.161.1, Rom, recovery and firmware will all be on the same os version and unmolested stock condition. After which you will be able to update you phone with official ota updates.
Prepare the files, your pc and phone for the procedure. Rename the 2.24.161.1.zip to firmware.zip and place it in your Fastboot folder on your pc. Connect your phone to mass storage with usb and copy the reset.zip to your internal storage/sdcard.
Ok let's get started. Reboot your phone into recovery. And flash the reset.zip just like installing a custom Rom. Select install and choose the reset.zip. Once it's done your Rom, recovery and radio will be back to stock. (if you choose to install the radio, it's optional at this stage as it will be done with the firmware anyway.
Now we need to upgrade the firmware since the OTA update will expect to find version 2.24.161.1 but your firmware is older than that so the OTA may fail to install.
Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
<--- case sensitive.
The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You should now see your new firmware version 2.24.161.1 in the bootloader. And that's it
Reboot the phone and complete the Rom setup. You should start getting notifications for OTA updates almost immediately. If not just go to settings>about and check for updates to force it. Take all the OTA's up to the latest and you're done
Completely stock software. If you decide to reroot make a nandroid of the Stock Rom before you root it. And copy it to your pc. This way you can return to stock easily for future OTA updates

Well done m8, glad you got it sorted. You shouldn't be scared of flashing a new Rom though. The only thing that went wrong last time was you flashed a Rom for a different version of the M7.
As long as you stick with m7_ul roms you'll be fine but it's understandable you would want to take some time to process what happened. It's never fun thinking you bricked an expensive device such as the HTC one.
If you ever decide you want to try a Rom feel free to pm me for some guidance. For now relax and enjoy your working phone :highfive:
---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------
@Dani84 Hi m8 just seen your PM. Yeah ARHD is a good place to start, it's quite close to stock but with xposed support and sense 6 toolbox.
Very smooth reliable Rom with no major bugs that I know of. I've been using ARHD since version 43 and I just love it. Version 80.0 is on the Horizon (Android 4.4.3).
I think I warned you already about twrp but just incase make sure to flash twrp 2.6.3.3 to preserve your os information.
Download the Rom and drop it on your sd card. Reboot to recovery and flash the Rom from the install menu in twrp. Make sure to do a full data wipe in the aroma installer as your changing from stock to custom Rom.

[SOLVED] [Q] Struggling to return to stock on T-Mobile UK / Orange / EE HTC One

Hi Folks,
Have seen a few other threads where people are having issues with returning to stock, but not sure whether my particular hurdle has come up on there so thought I'd put in a new thread to get some help.
My HTC One was on the Carrier 4.4.3 update, however I wanted to get S-OFF and put it on a generic WWE edition so if/when 5.0 Lollipop comes out, i wouldn't have to wait forever for EE to get it sorted out.
I followed multiple guides online to try and S-OFF but to no avail, I think one of the last OTA's has patched my OS so cannot use rumrunner / firewater or sunshine.
I want to return to stock but am having huge issues finding an appropriate recovery for it. So far i can use one of the ORANG001 Nandroid files to get me back to 2.24.61.1, and the OTA starts to download to start upgrading me. But no matter what stock HTC recovery I flash, the phone gets stuck in a bootloop after it applies the update.
For now I've resorted to using MaximusHD 44.0 with TWRP recovery to get my phone up and running again. but would prefer to return to stock as I'm having issues with certain finance apps that I know do not work at all on rooted apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Hi Folks,
My HTC One was on the Carrier 4.4.3 update, however I wanted to get S-OFF and put it on a generic WWE edition so if/when 5.0 Lollipop comes out, i wouldn't have to wait forever for EE to get it sorted out.

what error did sunshine finally give you? cause the bad kernel you mentioned earlier shouldn't be the deciding factor, kernel (boot.img) is flashable even without s-off

The reason you are having touble with the nandroid and the OTA is your nandoid is a 2.xx version and your firmware version is 6.xx. I could not find a RUU, Guru Reset or nandroid for your version. Hopefully someone has a stock 6.16.61.1 nandroid they can post for you. 
 @Danny201281 Could you give a hand with this situation.

Hi @nkk71, I just kept getting a 'Bad Kernel' message no matter which ROM/Kernel combination I tried.
Reverted to the stock Nandroid mentioned in my OP, didn't work
Tried MaximusHD (think you recommended that when we spoke on the IRC on Saturday), Still didn't work
Tried multiple different kernels recommended in forums, preyed, still didn't work
Gave up, decided to go back to stock .... started looking like this ->:silly:

Thanks Guys,
Any help i could get will be amazing. Will any of the HTC Kernel Source Codes on http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads be any use? to get a stock recovery?
cheers,

The majority of items at that site are for building kernels. So, more than likely there are no stock recovery there for your phone.

wait, let me understand you fully: you flashed ROMs and then a custom kernel??
you should just flash stock ROM (includes stock kernel), such as the ones found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759000
(unselect stock recovery, unselect radio, unselect root)
or MaximusHD is also known to work
BUT you should not be flashing any custom kernels!! (bulletproof, elementalX, etc) those will break sunshine's ability to work.

Hi @nkk71,
Could Sunshine have been effected by the firmware version 6.xx that I have? seems to be a bit of a headache that one.

the "bad kernel" shouldn't be one of those errors, even if your device is not compatible, have you read my previous post about not using a custom kernel?

Hi @nkk71,
Replied to you at the same time as you sending this message, tried with both custom kernel and non custom kernel. Got the same result each time.

Hi Folks,
Have seen a few other threads where people are having issues with returning to stock, but not sure whether my particular hurdle has come up on there so thought I'd put in a new thread to get some help.

Well this is embarrassing!!
@majmoz @nkk71 @jcase, I just downloaded Sunshine so i could get a screen shot for jcase ... and the darn thing worked!!!
I literally stayed up all night on Friday till the birds were chirping outside and couldn't get it working and then spent most of the weekend trying to get back to stock, in the end having to make do with the latest version of MaximusHD.
The only thing that has been different for me is that I have run SunShine on the newest version of MaximusHD (4.4.3) rather than the older 4.2.2 version.
I feel like a right idiot right now, I'm really sorry about this guys!.

YAY, far less work figuring it out for me, when you got it yourself! Nothing to be sorry about!
Yep, all sorted .... Now I can debrand this bad boy with a WWE RUU and get timely updates going forward.
