Dear All,
Two days before , I brought the HTC One (32 GB Golden) which on digging the Phone identity came to know the Model no 831C, later after goggling it came to know that I belongs to Sprint Carrier.
On inserting the code of Hardware components, I found few test/s were not passed and worked normally, other issues are TV app is not recognizing the server, Double Tap Screen wake/sleep works depending on its mood, vDM Client error pops up often.
Request all the experts here to please help me out with the Solution as to how can I make it work flawlessly.
Regards
Karan Adhikari

1) Which tests didn't pass ?
2) Which ROM are you using ?
3) TV app is discontinued by HTC (HTC suggests "Peel Smart Remote")
4) Double Tap Screen Wake works only when you lift up phone and proximity is not blocked (5 seconds cooldown between trying again).
Double tap status bar sleep is buggy on lollipop (this can be different if you have custom kernel)
5) disable vDM client app to prevent popups (you should also disable other sprint apps like HtcSprintService and Self Service SZ)
First of all, thank you for addressing my query & sorry for delay in revert.
Sir, I do know it’s the Sprint phone, as far your concern on below questions, let me try to answer them as below:
1) Which tests didn't pass?
When I run the all functions test by this code (*#*#3424#*#*) in one of the test the error word in green / red appears on screen
2) Which ROM are you using?
I believe it’s the Custom ROM, which would have be provided by Sprint. Software no is 1.54.651.8
3) TV app is discontinued by HTC (HTC suggests "Peel Smart Remote")
No comments, will try to search the PSR on play store.
4) Double Tap Screen Wake works only when you lift up phone and proximity is not blocked (5 seconds cooldown between trying again).
Will strictly follow next time when I do it.
Double tap status bar sleep is buggy on lollipop (this can be different if you have custom kernel)
Its on Android KK 4.4.2
5) disable vDM client app to prevent popups (you should also disable other sprint apps like HtcSprintService and Self Service SZ)
I didn’t find the option to disable vDM app nor did I found other apps of sprint. May I request you to suggest any alternates for it ?
Now, sir my other query is Is it advisable to flash a latest LP rom (i.e Goggle play edition or the rom developed by Bad boys team here) , also it seems that I am S-ON, because when I enter the bootload screen Power + Vol Down key where three android icon at bottom appears , I read LOCKED at the very top of the screen.
Pl. suggest whether it shall be advisable to do it if so request you to suggest the best ROM which shall run flawless in India.
Thanking you in anticipation.

Karan
Can somebody help me out with this please.. ??
The snapshots of my device are attached hereby, my only query is, and considering the attached images of device can I flash a Custom ROM on to it? Will that be advisable to do so? Are there the chances to Brick the device.
If the answer according to all the Experts here lies in assertive, which ROM is best, since this is a Sprint Device, I have found on the forum that Badboyz rom shall go flawless with any Sprint device, so may I go ahead with it. I am in India presently so wish that all the apps i.e Remote TV, Radio should run properly.

You need to delete the second and third pictures, there is way to much personal information in there.
The "Locked" at the top of the screen in the bootloader means that the bootloader is locked. If you look directly underneath it you'll see that it says "S-Off". To flash custom recoveries or roms or anything, you need the bootloader unlocked. You can do this using HTCDev, or since you're soff, you can unlock it via adb.
Once you're bootloader is unlocked, you should be set for everything. Flash a custom recovery like Captain Throwback's custom TWRP, get root if you don't have it already, update your firmware, etc. The bad boys xda page has most of this stuff in it.
Note: Your phone is supercid, so you're not limited to just sprint roms.
---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------
Also, just wondering what exactly were the tests that failed when you did *#*#3424#*#* ?
Thanks a lot sir, I am grateful to you, I have followed you instruction of deleting the images.
Now, last night I did the Factory Hard reset (P+V-DN keys), it went fine, except the data was erased which I never wanted to be backed up though I was haunting of loosing the Sim Lock, but all went fine.
I have my registration on HTCDEV too, and the process of obtaining the TOKENID should go without any hassles.
Now in pursuant to your advise below, will it still be mandatory to unlock the bootloader ? or I may follow the process of wipe/data and then immediately flash the BB's Rom ?
Further, I stand corrected that all the function tests are passed normally, it was my mistake of not placing the Handset on the plain surface while performing one of the test.
Finally, why the model no in phone identity says 831C, and not M8 - May I request your views on this please?
Thanking you once again for addressing, all you guys are rocking, I am here on this forum since 2008, and needless to say "A Proud Member"
All my Best wishes to MEMBERS.

Yes, you still need to unlock the bootloader. After that you need to flash a custom recovery.
After doing these two you will be able to flash a custom rom, just make sure you follow all the instructions on the BB rom page

Hi ssantos132,
I found there is a SuperSU app preinstalled on my Handset, which prompts me to Grant access when I try to install some other apps from PS- goggle, is my device rooted, because I have found in this link (http://blog.laptopmag.com/root-htc-one-m8), wherein lastly the SuperSU app gets installed automatically.
Pl. guide.
Thanks
Yeah, it looks like you already have root. Try downloading a root checker app from the play store if you want to make sure.

Well thanks for replying. I did that earlier, it says Congratulation your device is rooted. So now when we have concluded that my device is Rooted, the only thing left to be done is, flashing a Custom recovery thru TRWP or CWM right ? Incase if its already been rooted and say if I re-do it, any risk for Device?
Pl. guide.

Yeah, once the bootloader is unlocked you can flash a custom recovery then a rom. You can't flash a custom recovery through TWRP or CWM though. Download a custom recovery then use fastboot flash recovery recovery recovery.img
Believe me, That is one rare cellphone you have got.
I am having the same and as I tried few roms, without backing up the radio and replaced it with some random one. Now my phone is just a toy to play with.
I ll suggest you to stick with the rom you are having right now, Take a nandroid backup of the rom, radio and everything else. and keep it safe for future. You will never be able to find them online for this particular phone.
If you would like to help me solve my phone's issue, Please upload the radio. My phone is just laying around in my desk as I have no way to get it to work.

I know about these devices that are being sold in India. I bought a used phone on OLX having same model number with the exact similar problems. I assume these devices are development only devices which don't run a final version of software. I have noticed that most of the issues in the phone are software related. Using my development expertise, I was able to fix most of the problems and upgrade the firmware to Lollipop, however I have messed up the radio and was unable to restore the radio firmware to anything that actually works (This phones come with a radio version that can't be obtained from any online source). If you can provide the radio image from your device, I will prepare a flashable zip to upgrade the firmware to Lollipop which would include the modem you provide, along with instructions on how to unlock the device and flash it to get going. Probably this would iron out the issues that you are facing with your device.
To grab the radio image from your device, use the following command from "adb shell" or Terminal Emulator
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/radio.img
You will find a file in the sdcard (Internal) named radio.img. Please upload it and provide me with a link.
I would advice you not to make any changes to the device until I provide you with clear instructions on how to do so. Trust me, I really had a hard time with this phone.
Well thanks indeed for the time you took for replying, Sir are you from India Since the name sounds such ?
Secondly, I am desperately looking to upgrade the Software to Latest 5.02 Lollipop from present Kitkat, my basic requirement is that any ROM to which I flash should at least contain the Stock FM Radio, wherein it should be able to tune in the Indian Radio Station.
Confusing issues which keep me scratching my head is that I have pre installed SuperSU app in it. Also I re checked it via installing the app Root Checker which indicated that my device is Rooted. However as and when I tried my device to restart it in Recovery mode it starts normally after a while , the SuperSU app is not getting started.
Can you help me through please. Favor me with (1) Do I need to unlock the Bootloader ? (2) Do I need to flash the custom recovery thru TRWP or CWM ? (3) suggest best Rom which will working with FM Radio (4) A Layman's User Guide to carry out all the process.
Thank You once again.

Yes. I recommend twrp.
(3) suggest best Rom which will working with FM Radio
None for the phone we are using A Layman's User Guide to carry out all the process.
Please don't upgrade the rom as it might mess with the boot("radio") . Upload your radio and wait for Dhiru's post.

Required advice pl. help somebody
Pl. advise as on which TWRP img file should I take into consideration for flashing, since my boot loader is old one the firmware no 4096, Software no is 1.54.651.8, and its sprint 831C (HTC ONE m8). I yesterday tried with the the latest 2.80 twrp img file but got stuck on "Entering Recovery" Screen, some how could manage to come back by Power+Vol up and when the screen got black then Vol Down which took me to boot-loader and then came back by reseting phone. Now the phone is working normal.
I am desperately looking to install CWM or TWRP , so that can take an nandroid backup of the system file, and later post it for the experts here to update the firmware and fix other issues......
snaps of device are attached here
Request all experts to kindly guide me here on it.
Thanking you in anticipation

Hello
I've been following this guide for rooting/bootloading and removing the amazon ads from the BLU R1. I am a bit new to this but have done it before, a while back.
I just need some guidance on the steps.
I found this page with two methods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/r1-hd-amazon-bootloader-unlock-method-t3426104
It says to do the bootloader first (first youtube video) then the flashing and TWRP second....or is this in reverse, to use TWRP to backup, flash and then bootloader?
And then I find this apparently newer version of removing partial ads which allows for background updates to occur: http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-ad-removal-debloat-block-ota-easy-t3429555
which also has a bootloader instruction at the end.
Can someone just give me some guidance in steps on what to start with and then whats next, and whats last. is it flash and twrp backup, then bootloader, then the instructions for the partial debloater. I can do the steps listed on each page just need to know which to do in order.
Thanks!!

The easiest method I have found is here, it involves converting your R1 from prime to non prime and then directions for unlocking bootloader then twrp and root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-convert-to-prime-rollback-ota-t3432499
The only downside to this, is there have been no updates yet for non prime(though there are reports of one being released, I have not yet received one) so currently it only has the June 2016 security patches.
If you prefer to follow rootjunkys method he has a firmware on his site that flashes OTA 6.5 with Ads already removed, but OTA disabled after you flash his rom you then unlock bootloader, then flash twrp and root his guide is located here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/blu-r1-hd-remove-amazon-ads-ota-updates-t3427303
I suggest you read both and determine the best route for you.

If your rooted with a custom recovery like twrp installed its not really going to matter if OTA is disabled, it won't install an update if your rooted anyways
I recommend to convert your phone to non-Prime.

Don't use the other debloat link. It's liable to brick your phone.

For whatever reason, the non prime variant has worked out better for me!! I have bounced back and forth a few times, think im on flash #5, I went back to Prime with your 6.1 restore then updated to 6.5 and then TWRP, root and debloat W/ad block and disabled OTA. I have maintained bootloader unlock through all flashes. I'm waiting for some downtime to switch back to non prime and wait for "promised" OTA. Non prime for whatever reason gives me better results with apps not disappearing from adopted storage. Also since 6.5, I have experienced data loss and sometimes very sluggish behavior requiring a reboot to revive performance. Again all related to adopted storage apps. Not sure what's causing it, I'm using the same apps on SD adopted, but non prime seems to be much friendlier to adopted storage than prime?? Maybe its as simple as one of the July security updates broke something, not sure but there is definitely something going on with 65 vs 12. Hopefully the Devs come up with something better we can rely on . All the Drama aside I know I appreciate all the time everybody has put in on this.
Fingerprint on this device is disabled after i unlocked bootloader, I tried complete wiping the device multiple times as i thought this was my own fault since i had setup the device prior to unlocking bootloader. No dice.
I thought maybe that a wipe would clear the fingerprint cache or something and make it work.
After locking the bootloader the reader starts working again.
Was this supposed to be the expected behaviour?
I refuse to believe that they would completely disable it system wide instead of just preventing payments etc like normal.
As a side note, transferring user data from an old phone is also broken by bootloader unlock, errors out with "something went wrong" when hitting the copy button to start the transfer.
Just as another side note, the system partition cannot be erased with fastboot either, access denied error even with unlocked bootloader. I figured this out while trying to get my fingerprint reader working. I tried multiple commands and also mfastboot instead of android sdk fastboot
Good news BL is unlockable, bad news FP scanner gets disabled. How about unlocking the BL, rooting the phone with Magisk, and then relocking the BL? Will this work? I haven't got the phone yet, it's arriving next week. Thanks for sharing your findings.
I haven't had a chance to try that. This phone is now my daily driver and I'm working for the next few days so I won't be able to get around to trying until then. I'm sure it wouldn't work though because I believe the device wouldn't boot after the bootloader was modified since locking the bootloader after installing magisk would probably not work.
Might actually brick the device https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/help/relock-bootloader-flash-magisk-t3840071/

Hey, that's weird. I unlocked BL, flashed magisk and my fingerpring works flawlessly.

Sorry but unfortunately I won't be able to prepare instructions tonight. Too busy before holidays. Will be back on 25th of Sep. But what can I say is that procedures to "unlock bootloader", "magisk" and "xposed" are very common for many devices (including moto one zoom) and can be easily found in the internet.
btw: PPH29.59-34 software update has just arrived (I live in Poland).

Model №? FW Version?
OP, did you try Magisk?
I did not have a chance to try magisk as I was only testing unlocking to see if anything broke. And whenever I couldn't set it up with fingerprint I relocked and wanted to wait to see if others have the same issue. I'm on this fw https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

Thanks darkdaemon, I was able to unlock Bootloader and root with Magisk, the only thing my Fingerprint lock method no longer enabled, I can't use pin, pattern or password, so my device has no way to screen lock ?
I'm just happy it's rooted, if there's a way to fix this I hope someone can shed some light ?

I'm having the exact same issue after unlocking bootloader. I didn't modify anything at all and still my phone's lock function is completely disabled. Only way I could fix it was going back to stock and re locking bootloader. I'm currently without root or any modifications because of this. I'm also waiting on a fix
Have unlocked the BL straight upon receiving the device and FP scanner is working no problem. I didn't register any fingerprints (or set up any screenlock) prior to unlocking. My Build is PPH29-59-29, SW channel retgb.
This may be where my issue is. I had setup the phone and registered my fingerprints prior to the unlock. Im guessing that they are being stored somewhere that I cannot wipe such as /system or inside an enclave chip etc. Because the only partition I couldn't manually use an erase command for was /system as I was getting access denied error. I may get around to trying the Lenovo phone tool and/or removing fingerprints first to see what happens. I just need to find the time to mess with it.

I don't know why you've got figerprint and everybody's not. I don't have one either. This is also a problem with phones from other manufacturers.
Would you mind seeing who the fingerprint scanner manufacturer is?
I have Goodix.
Maybe it depends. Or maybe the system will shutdown it after unlocking the bootloader.
Does anyone have a working profile for props? as mentioned in here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/fix-magisk-manager-20-3-ctsprofile-t4080921
Someone with an unmodified A71 needs to get the profile off their phone so it can be added to the list then we can make ctsProfile show as valid and we can use things like google pay again.
My phone's already hacked otherwise i'd do it myself.
Not being able to use nfc services is rather annoying.

Give me a week, technically minded when I get my order in I'll do it. It'll be locked, and prior to unlocking it, I'll do this.

Hi All. First post so please be gentle.
After searching and googlingfor a long time, i have tried a few ways to root my S20 FE (4G).
I have tried KingRoot, no success.
I have tried going down the flashing route, but I am greeted with 'Only official can be flashed (recovery) and (vbmeta) - i have tried flashing the vbmeta disabled.... I also tried using Magisk to create a modified AL file and then flashing it back, but that gave the same result as above.
I have unlocked the bootloader, made a mess first time, so flashed back to stock. Re-locked and unlocked bootloader again.
I'm hoping there is a simple thing that I have got wrong, or forgotten to do etc.
Searches of google for the error message about official firmware etc. turned up a few results, but they all seemed to be flashing other stuff, which it seems i cannot do.
Any ideas?

there is only one method that is going to work for you, that method is linked above.
the problem with instructions can be when you don't know what they mean and the way they're written assumes you should.
there are many steps and they are all crucial (like unlocking the bootloader first).
if you don't understand what something means paste it here and ask, people will help you.

The switch in developer mode MUST be like this (picture), otherwise you cannot flash or root custom roms, custom kernels, etc.
I've read that sometimes you have to wait a few days for it to show up as unlocked finally. also you can't lock a brand new phone instantly, you've got use it a few days too.

rooting is pretty universal at the moment barring a couple OEM specifics. pretty much all Samsung phones root the same way.
thanks you guys, i was able to root, first time the device booted, i got bootloop, but i reseted to factory and boom, rooted and working flawless

I also have this s20fe G780G 4g model I'm from Brazil, make a Tutorial help and...
The "OEM unlock" option I missed first but suddenly, after updates of the pre-installed apps and reboots, I got it.
I haven't tried to root as far and directly on front of my vacation.
Hit a wall trying to unlock BL, enabled in dev options and adb into DL mode but LONG PRESS VOL UP is not working! So there is no way to actually unlock BL!??!!?
WTF?
