Okay. I posted my first ever question/request for advice the other day and, despite 79 views, I have had no response. Perhaps it was too dull for those who are more accomplished with all things Android and everybody assumed that somebody else would answer.
Perhaps within the morass of information on these forums the answers are already out there. Maybe, but who knows. In other forums people tend to at least say - look there for answers - and post a link to another thread. But, it has been Christmas and I guess we are all pretty busy this time of year - Merry Christmas to all by the way
So, I thought I would re-shape my question/needs here.
Could anybody give me, or at least point me in the direction of, a glossary of terms type of thing?
I need to know things like what does 'radio' mean? How does it relate to the 'flashing' process' , And any other terms which people take for granted as being blindingly obvious, but which may not be to those of us very inexperienced. This forum can be quite daunting, but still, enquiring minds wanna know
Any help, again, appreciated.

I would've loved to answer but perhaps you need to be more specific on what you want to be answered
you said you wanted to have 2.3.5 on ur DHD,but that doesn't tell anyone what you are asking for,if you are asking us to find a ROM for you,or how to flash a recovery first,or how to flash the ROM !
You should have to provide us more specific data, phone, model, rooted or stock, etc. It is normal that why you don't get replies.

HI, and thank you. Also apologies for my woolly question. And this is kind of my problem. When new to this even the questions I want answered are not always asked correctly. I was hoping to find a ROM for my Desire HD which has Sense 3.0. I have Gingerbread on the phone currently with Sense 2.1.
To be completely humble and honest, which I find to be the best way in almost all cases, I must say that I am not even sure what "how to flash a recovery" means, or "how to flash the ROM".
So, as you see, I am really new to this and feeling my way around. I am a quick learner though so I really just need bringing up to speed on a few of the basics and then I am sure I will be able to research my way around.
Anyway, thank you for your kind reply. I wasn't trying to be shirty with my post. I meant what I said - it is Christmas and I am sure people look in over the holidays but it is a busy time for everybody. I hope I have not caused offence.
Can I contact you on your email,i find that more easily accessible!

Please read before you do anything at all. From your posts it is plain you are very new to Modding so it is very important you understand what your doing as it void your warrenty and if done wrong can brick your device. Start with the stickies in the DHD section and read those a couple of times. Then check the Q&A and read there as well.
As mentioned, read the stickies in your section, there should be a lot of information there. In my device's subfora, there are great stickies chocked full of information. If we had the same device, I'd post some links for you. There's also a glossary of sorts stickied in the Thunderbolt section. Not everything in it will apply to your device but it may help with some general terms.
Before I even rooted my device, I read all of the stickies and recommended links. I then read over the Q&A and general subfora just to get a feel for it. What I read didn't make a lot of sense at the time, but later I remembered it and it made more sense. I then rooted my device, then read and read and read before flashing my first rom (CM6 - it was a while back).
It's a process, and the more you read the more you'll understand, until eventually you can start answering some of the questions that go unanswered. Just give it time... and make sure that you know exactly what you're doing - and why - before you jump in to something.
Good luck!

Hi there Zendel.
Apologies for the lateness of this reply. Been a busy day. I wanted to say thanks for the advice and to also fill in a couple of blanks, if I may.
You are quite correct, I am very new to modding and my only fear is buggering it up, as we say in Lancashire lol. However, it has already been rooted by a friend who took me through the process over the phone some months ago.
When I first got the phone it was with Orange and had all that Orange junk and splash screen etc. Hence, my friend talked me through rooting and installing a standard factory ROM. It was a lot to take in and, at the time, I didn't make any notes along the way, which would have helped me now - hindsight is a wonderful thing, as they say.
More recently he pointed me at a link to a RUU (is that right?) so that I could upgrade from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 - so, in a nutshell, void warranty is no longer a concern
I have taken a look at some of the stickies, though I have not studied them intensely at this point. I will spend more time looking however and come back, perhaps, with more questions - or at least more relevant questions I should hope

Many thanks PlainJane - I shall go there now
Long story short, kind of a newb, but flashed roms on my original evo years ago, so not completely dumb to all of this. I'm on hour 6 trying to get this fixed on my 4g LTE, while watching two little kids, and cannot get it, so I am asking for help from the community. I'm stuck at the splash screen and will not go any further.
My phone was updated to latest OTA (HBOOT 1.19), and S-ON. Thought I had the correct tutorial, and use the workaround, but it screwed me. I first did the HTCdev unlock method, and downloaded the latest nightly cyanogenmod 10 build. I used abd to flash boot.img. After restart, it just stays on the splash screen. I then flashed TWRP, backed up, and this is where I'm stuck. From what I read, I'm supposed to install dumlock, but my phone gets stuck on splash screen.... so .... now what? Please help, either going back to OEM, or to fix and continue cyanogenmod 10 flash.
-Mike

Figured I was going to get **** for this, but thanks for the replies, guess we all cannot be uber android giniuses.. Google searches for some reason did not come up with results from xda. I did know I needed a workaround for boot 1.15 and 1.19, my probl em was with the ROM file itself... for some reason it would not install, even though it all seemed to be there. I re downloaded and tried 3 times, each gave me multiple errors accessing directories. The 4th worked and all is good.

the problem is that it doesnt take a genius, these threads are popping up like crazy even by people who have rooted other devices but the problem is that all these devices are different, even the same make/model will not produce the same results across multiple devices, people just need to take the time to sit down and learn the basics for android customization, one guy had s-off and decided to fastboot the kernel, somehow he managed to obliterate his recovery as well, another guy kept trying lazy panda to s-off his hboot 1.15, there are some kind and helpful people on xda but this is ridiculous, ive even taken to pm'ing users as a way to lessen the threads popping up, if you take the time to read the guides posted then take extra time to read about the failures, they help the most, it sounds horrible to me but reading about their failure and seeing possible solutions will help you avoid them

These off topic replies were not directed specifically at you. Its more frustration with those of us trying to help because we see so many of these threads everyday.
its simply mind boggling and frustrating to know that the majority of these problems are the exact same problem, you and wile do way way more damage control then i do and i just dont see how you guys keep on, i decided to start helping if i can and im already burned out, if i had a steady job id have probably given enough donations to warrant a tech support salary to you guys

So I know XDA is full of answers to this one, but it seems everyone either has some snarky comment like, "they won't check' or whatever. There are also some ok answers and tuts but some of it's confusing and a lot of the threads go off topic. So i'd like to ask, how do i get my phone back to stock? i have to mail my device back in for a warranty exchange as the speakers and camera stopped working suddenly.
My device is stock rooted, odex rom w/ TWRP. unlocked bootloader. Super CID and S-off. Tampered message gone in boot loader. My laptop runs Windows 8, which I'm having an issue getting the HTC manager to stay open for some reason, even after an uninstall/ reinstall of the manager and drivers. The drivers themselves seemed to have installed fine as my device is recognized as "my HTC" though when in fastboot, my comp will tell me the device is unrecognized. Using the stock usb plug that came with my phone and I've plugged in to both usb 3.0 and 2.0 ports. And yes, I do have ADB in the root of my computer, though I'm wondering if i need a different type of ADB since this is the one i used with windows 7 a while back..or does it matter?
I'd like to get things back to stock as much as possible and would be very appreciative. Thanks!

Maybe it would do you some justice to NOT go the route that I'd already forsaw. You were snarky and you response in no way solves a problem that I sat down for 3 hours trying to troubleshoot on an operating system I'm still learning since i just got comp last week. And maybe if you actually understood reading comprehension, you'd have seen that I'd obviously done my research, otherwise I wouldn't have made the conclusions I'd made in my OP. So yeah, I'm pretty pissed.

Thanks for the quick reply. Um..I just ran into an issue and i hope it isn't a big one. First, the RUU won't run. And error pops up saying "make sure you have finished any previous setup and try again". I DLed this RUU straight from HTC.
Second, i'm in bootloader, tried to do a full reboot and instead it boots back into bootloader. Now on the top, the tampered had returned, as I used CMD to make it go away, and in pink is also a "security warning". The phone won't boot into anything else. The phone is locked. I got S-on with Revone, and i used CMD to write stock CID, which I rebooted each time to make sure nothing messed up.
Edit: Nevermind, after re downloading the RUU, I got it working properly and things smoothed out. Thank you again.

Don't exaggerate. I post that when it's necessary to post that. When help is deserved I more than gladly help but someone asking how to get back to stock does not necessitate a thread being made, hence my response.

My husband and I are getting a couple of new phones. He decided to go ahead and transfer his number to a dummy phone until it arrives, so he can work on getting rid of it. The phone was previously flashed to Page Plus and I'm curious how to properly revert to Sprint. I flashed it back to the original ROM on the phone when we got it - all stock, but bootloader/S-OFF did not go back to locked/on, is that normal? It looks as though the phone is up and ready for Sprint use again, but I'm curious if anyone could fill me in on the appropriate steps to take? Don't want to sell it to someone online and find out that it will not properly work.
I made an attempt to contact the flasher, who guaranteed a flash back to original service at any point in time when the phone may be resold, but the person has been of no help whatsoever aside from telling me to do a PRL update (which catches an error & I informed them of this problem) and to do something else, but gave me the wrong passcode.

I was on mobile, on Tapatalk, did it really quick by simply going to my "subscribed" threads instead of looking through the entire section... In other words, that means: no I did not know there were no other posts/responses/new threads that may push it down.
But thanks!
Hi @Luna_Sky,
I'm not seeing any attitude from ElMadre.
Let's keep it civil please.
Thanks BD619

Not a problem. Could you please delete this thread? Don't think I'm going to get a response any way.
Not sure if this will help you, but probably worth taking a look at. Flashing phones from one carrier to another isn't my area of expertise.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195107
Also, based on at least one post I saw in a PP thread here, you may be able to RUU to put the device back stock with Sprint service. I'd give that a shot.
Hello I have a M8 variant 502 (AT&T). It is S-ON. I was messing around the firmware to find something that woud allow my phone to work with newer ROM bases. Then, I found the GPE firmware 3.11.1700.5 to somehow be compatible with CWS_001 (cidnum and modelid match). The phone allowed me to flash that GPE firmware. This is where the issue rises.
- Now my M8 has become a GPE. It only flashes GPE roms successfully. Other Sense-based ROM flashes result in a failed symplinks. I want to use SENSE inferface, which is the whole point of me buying this M8.
- The newest RUU 4.4.4 from HTC does not run on my phone, error 155 (unknown).
- TWRP recovery of my original 4.4.2 ROM also fails at 50%.
What I have tried thus far, but not working
. Flashed different SENSE ROMs 4.4.4 and below
. Ran the newest 3.42.502.1 RUU, error 155 (bootloader relocked, 1.58.502.2 recovery)
. Tried flashing firmware made by SneakyGhost, error signature
. Tried flashing firmware 1.58.502.2 error 43 main version check fail
My thought is that Google-Play-Edition firmware has different filepath than Sense-firmware. The 3.48.502.1 RUU is not properly signed/uploaded on HTC. I regret flashing that gpe firmware. What I don't want to do is to S-Off for $25, for now. My hope is for a signed 3.42.502.1 firmware so I could move back to Sense ROMs.
Anyone or expert can give me some insights? If you get your hands on the 3.48.502.1 firmware signed, I'd appreciate that, please.
You've been messing around with things you don't fully understand, and guessing at solutions. This is a very dangerous thing while modding phones.
- You shouldn't have flashed a GPE firmware if you want Sense. Why did you do this to begin with? If the intent was to get on 3.x firmware, you could have just did OTA or RUU to official 3.48.
- You can't flash a firmware that isn't signed with s-on
- You can't flash an older firmware with s-on
My recommendation is stop messing around and s-off by sunshine. But as you've flashed the GPE firmware, its questionable sunshine will even work.
I've seen a couple other folks get into a (from what I can tell) unrecoverable position by messing about with GPE firmware while s-on. Hopefully, you aren't in that same spot.
I'm sorry but my reply is going to sound rude
First of all, let me apologize but this reply to the post above is going to sound rude.
I own my phone. I can do whatever I want with it, just like any other person who owns an M8. Furthermore, there is a very clear line between modding a S-on device and a S-off one. My device is S-on. Go back and read my post fully, ffs. If any part of it is incomprehensible, I will gladly reword it with other English words that are easier to understand. Why do you even bother re-asking me the questions which I have gone to great length to try finding an answer on my own, before posting here, and have provided the possible answers I found?
To satisfy your little curiosity, no, I was not aware of 3.48 by the time I flashed. I was digging in the HTC M8 forum, only later to find out that there was another subforum for the 502 M8. All the things about unsigned firmwares unable to flash with S-on I am well aware of, thank you very much for unnecessarily googling that for me. If your reason to be here is to ask "why" this and "why" that, don't be here. This is Q&A section; if XDA is only intended for whoever is well versed at phone modding, might as well close it down and open your own forum, or business, like those fake sites. I am aware of Sunshine may S-off my phone. Again, go back and re-read my post, if you care. At this point, it is not justified enough to make me think $25 is worth using a SENSE rom, that my phone is supposed to be made for, not counting firmwares of course. Once more time, my intention here is to look for a properly signed 3.48.502.1 firmware, or useful advice. It does not take a well educated person to google Sunshine. But it does take a stuck up fool to think common knowledge is his best recommendation. Let me tell you something interesting, in case you haven't known/read, my phone runs GPE ROMs just fine.
Move on.

I absolutely agree that its your phone and you can do what you like to it. But your subsequent comments just fall apart after that.
Yes, this is a Q&A section. But XDA is, and has always been a place where the best results will come to those that search, learn and research before acting; instead of jumping in blindly.
And instead of giving a fake apology about sounding rude, then flinging out insults and name calling; how about just taking a breath and not doing those things at all. You may have not found my post helpful. But it was intended to help, and unlike your post, did not contain any insults, personal attacks, or name calling. Just pure and simple facts. If its facts that you find insulting, its you that XDA is not the place for. With over 3,500 thanks from other members, my contribution here is hardly questionable.

Ironically, its very clear for this comment that it is you that did not bother to fully read my post. as the last paragraph of my previous posts clearly states: there have been at least a couple folks on this forum that have rendered their phones inoperable due to messing about with GPE RUUs and/or GPE firmware (on a non-GPE device) while S-on.
Just because you are s-on, doesn't guarantee that your messing with the phone will not have a similar result.
Yes, s-off is not for everyone, and not needed for a lot of things. But it gives a heck of a lot more flexibility to mod or recover, and that is a simple fact.

Again, an incorrect assertion that I did not understand what you posted. If you were completely satisfied with your present position, you obviously wouldn't have started this thread in the first place.
Please seriously re-read my OP
I warned readers that my reply was going to be rude. There was nothing fake about it. Ever heard "I'm sorry but it is going to hurt quite a bit"? To me, your contribution or greatness or w/e it is, was reduced to ash the moment you boasted about it, period. Real.men.do.not.brag. Please don't be like those 21st century internet folks who enjoy collecting virtual 'likes' or 'thanks.' Do respected developers seek that kind of faux reputation? I doubt it.
Your post gave no help, not even a single new thing to the table. It was simply googled facts that I have clearly presented in my OP. I already stated, twice, no S-off is considered for now. Yet, Sunshine was adamantly brought up by you at two separate instances. Please stop, the way you are marketing for them make Sunshine devs look bad; although I know those devs aren't. If buying S-Off is the only thing you could think of, stop regurgitating it here every single time, keep it to yourself please until someone asks specifically how to S-off, thank you very much. I know very well how convenient it is to achieve S-off, and that's exactly why they want $25 for it now.

Did you ever read my post like you meant it? Let me help you out again here: I said I was looking for a firmware compatible with newer base SENSE ROMS, and ended up with 3.19.1700.1 because it was signed by HTC for CWS_001, successfully, mind you. Now I am being assumed that I feel happy about GPE roms. Goodness gracious... It really doesn't take a stuck up guy much time to come up with many hasty assumptions, does it?
Ok let me dumb down what kind of help I am looking for:
. How to extract signed firmware 3.42.502.1
. If not possible, how to obtain signed firmware 3.42.502.1
. Do HTC release their signed firmwares separately from the RUUs?
Moving on.

Sooooo you come to the Q&A looking for help then you are rude and post in this manner to those trying....
Bottom-line you want Sense, they you must run Sense firmware, and if won't be able to really much of anything regarding Flashing ROM's or any development, until you are S-Off which the only thing in "town" is to pay the $$ and move on and then do super CID. So you will be able to flash any firmware.
This is how most on the M8 Community are doing, it going S-off and super CID, in order to flash or run any development.
If not then take it back to stock and stay stock, more searching on your part can answer your questions, but Good Luck, in getting help with Views: 271 and only one that tried to provide assistance....

If regurgitating facts about S-off is considered *help,* then obviously people are not even trying the slightest to help, let alone reading my post. I have repeatedly stated that I.don't.want.to.buy.S.off. Please stop trying to shove it down my throat. I have even dumbed down my question, and the types of answer I am eagerly expecting.
To those who faithfully think that S-off is the only one-and-only-solution, please keep it to yourself and move along. I can very well google it because Sunshine is a commercial service, it's all over the place. Thank you very much.
For the third time, in my third post, I am going to restate my intention here is to seek a SIGNED FIRMWARE 3.42.502.1. or how to extract one from the RUU/OTA :fingers-crossed:
Gosh, talk about a severe deterioration in reading comprehension some people have...
Again, keep that S-off business away from my thread. By deliberately trying to market Sunshine in every single instance, YOU are making Sunshine devs look very bad.

I see you still posting in your manner. Have you tried using the Search function...
btw no one is forcing anything, as no one forced you to go GPE and if you had done some reading and homework you would of know, once you go GPE the files/folder do not allow Sense based ROMs. But you know that now... again your seek for help well, would not of been needed if you Search and done your Homework.
But since your search function is tied to your manners and thankfulness button try looking here and again good luck.

I urge anyone whose only knowledge is worshiping paid S-off to stop derailing my thread. It might be a universal solution; but it is completely irrelevant to my inquiry.
Which word, in this sentence "I am seeking info on signed firmware 3.42.502.1," is too hard to comprehend, geniuses?
I always deny being a smart person. However, I do try to read and fully understand an inquiry before writing a response. It's called being considerate. Yet some people just love to make hasty assumptions...
Ok, here is another try: If you know something about signed firmware 3.42.502.1, please educate me. If you know absolutely nothing about this signed firmware, please refrain from posting your response as it is probably going to be irrelevant. Thank you very much for comprehending :fingers-crossed:

I have an answer but will not share it,sorry but do not agree with any of your rude bantering. The answers were given to you by judge dredd. You've direspected the only person that was trying to help and continue to do so to everyone who responds.So in short....Good luck...
If your answer involves info on the signed firmware 3.42.502.1, then by all means, I will bend backward/forward/sideward/however you want me to so that you will share it with the entire community. If it, again, is another regurgitation of S-off for $25, I am thankful that you have decided to keep it for yourself. :fingers-crossed:
Remember, dear "recognized contributors," what you share here on the signed firmware 3.42.502.1 will benefit not just me, but the entire flock of those with S-on.
