[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]HTC One Max (T6)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: What's the difference between "Development" and "Original Development"?[/SIZE]
Here are the rough guidelines as to what should be placed in "Original Development":
*Official release of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them).
*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
*A significant "first" in development for a device. This is something which took considerable time/effort and is generally accepted by developers to be non-trivial.
*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available.
*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to the users of the target device.
All other development work goes into "Android Development".
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I root my phone?[/SIZE]
First you need to unlock your bootloader. To do that, go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader. On the supported devices list, choose "HTC One Max"
Download the following file to your phone (either directly on your phone or transfer it via your computer) - http://www.mediafire.com/download/v27kh5nkpo3nfum/superuser.zip
Download the latest CWM or TWRP recoveries and flash it by using fastboot commands. (It doesn't matter which recovery you use but I personally recommend TWRP.)
Once you've done that, reboot into recovery (using the combination in the next question) and flash the SuperSU.zip you already downloaded. Once complete, reboot and you'll be rooted.
*NOTE* Always be sure to double check everything you read and follow the instructions carefully.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: How can I enter bootloader mode & recovery mode?[/SIZE]
o enter bootloader mode make sure your phone is turned off. Turn it back on while holding the 'volume down' button and you will successfully enter bootloader mode.
To enter recovery mode, you will need to enter the bootloader (as detailed above) then use the 'volume down' button to navigate to 'RECOVERY'. Press the power button to confirm your choice. You'll now be booted into your custom recovery.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: I've just unlocked my bootloader but now my fingerprint sensor doesn't work. What do I do?[/SIZE]
No worries. Check out the following thread to find out how to re-enable the sensor - IMPORTANT: HTC Dev Unlock for Bootloader Disables Fingerprint Sensor
[SIZE=+1]Q5: What is the best ROM/kernel/modem?[/SIZE]
Honestly, there is no "best". It's all based on personal choice. For example; I may like heavily customizing my ROMs whereas you may like it to look at basic as possible. The best thing you can do is to just test out different ROMs/kernels/modems and see which you prefer.
Also, please don't ask which is the best because your post will be deleted as it's against forum rules to ask that question.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: I hear a lot about ADB. What is it?[/SIZE]
Find out everything you need to know by reading the following thread - ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: Am I required to backup my ROM before flashing anything else?[/SIZE]
No you're not, but it is definitely a good idea, especially when flashing a ROM with an updated base, because if you don't do a backup and then something goes wrong, it means that you'll lose all your apps, data etc. It just saves a lot of hassle.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: Does this phone have good battery life?[/SIZE]
It's impossible to give you a perfect answer because there are so many different aspects which can affect battery life. We all have different apps installed, use our phones for different amounts of time, have different ROMs and kernels installed etc. so we will all experience different results regarding battery life.
Take a look at the Battery Stats Thread to see the usage & average battery life of other forum members.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: I'm not sure whether to get the HTC One/what other phones compare to the One?[/SIZE]
The only person who can make you want the device is you. If you're not sure whether to get this phone, go to your local phone shop which has stock and have a test run of it for yourself. This will give you a good feel as to whether you'll like the One or not.
As phone comparison threads are not allowed in this forum, as detailed here, if you're not sure what device to get and want to compare between your choices, please use the following thread - Device Suggestion Thread
[SIZE=+1]Q10: When will the One Max be S-Off?[/SIZE]
The One is now S-Off. You can obtain S-Off by checking out the following thread - [s-off]Firewater S-Off.
For a guide to help you obtain S-Off, check out the following thread - [GUIDE] S-OFF Your HTC One Max
[SIZE=+1]Q11: I have a custom recovery installed but I can't boot into it.[/SIZE]
Use the command - fastboot erase cache.
You should now be able to boot into recovery.
[SIZE=+1]Q12: I don't like Blinkfeed. Can I get rid of it?[/SIZE]
Yes you can.
If you're using JellyBean 4.3+ with Sense 5.5, you can now natively disable BlinkFeed.
To do so, swipe right from BlinkFeed so that you reach the "traditional" Android homescreen. Long press on the screen and you'll see all the screens at the top. Just above those screens is the option "BlinkFeed On". Clicking that will disable BlinkFeed from your device. To enable it, follow the same instructions.
[SIZE=+1]Q14: I have a T-Mobile/AT&T HTC One. Can I flash the ROMs in this forum?[/SIZE]
Yes you can. Any ROM from the One Max forum can be flashed across either of the OEM variants.
As the Sprint variant is a CDMA device, ROMs from this forum may not be compatible with the Sprint variant.
As I currently have no confirmation on this, attempt it at your own risk.
[SIZE=+1]Q15: AROMA installer has crashed/I can't reboot after AROMA crashed. How can I fix it?[/SIZE]
This is not a problem with the ROM you're trying to flash. It's an AROMA problem but luckily there are ways around it so you can get back to happy flashing
Reboot, reflash and instead of using the touchscreen use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select an option.
If you're not able to reboot your phone, these solutions should help you do so.
1) Make sure you've held the power button/power button + volume down for around 15-20 seconds and it should replicate a battery pull and reboot your phone.
2) Connect your phone to a PC. Then type the following command into the command windows where ADB is installed - adb reboot recovery
3) If none of these have worked then, unfortunately, you'll simply need to wait until your battery has ran out and reflash again.
4) Another method which has worked for some people (I've personally not tested it as I've not been in that situation), is holding their phone under a bright light and then holding the power button. It should work but if it doesn't, refer to 3).
[SIZE=+1]Q16: How can I change the shortcuts on my lockscreen?[/SIZE]
It's actually really simple. All you have to do is drag an app icon from your app drawer to your dock (either side of the app drawer icon) and then lock your screen to see that it has also been changed there aswell.

UPDATE REGARDING FLASHING OF HARDSPL - Specifically the error message "we have detected that you appear to already have unlocked another device"
- contact with the creators of HSPL has been established.
- If you have EVER used HardSPL before (on any phone BUT the one you're trying to flash) you will need to request another "license"
- OliNex will provide up to 2 or 3 licenses, but more than that is deemed commercial and you will have to purchase them thereafter.
- If you are sure you have NEVER flashed HardSPL before, then please standby until I get more information from OliNex, regarding steps we can take to resolve any conflicts.
- more to come.
Dear all,
i mentioned to some people a while back that I could send them detailed instructions via PM, helping them install their first custom ROM (available from our many fine cooks and chefs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486)
Now, quite a few have been pm'ing me since, asking for help, so i thought i'd make a public post for all those who are wanting to flash their phones, but are scared or uncertain of making that first step.
SO, in as simple a way as possible, here we go:
INSTALLING HARDSPL 1.83:
(note: YOU CAN NOT INSTALL HardSPL via SD Card!!!! YOU HAVE TO USE ACTIVESYNC via USB!)
- Make sure your phone is fully charged and your data backed up!!!
- Download HardSPL 1.83 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
- the page i linked does contain instructions, but i'll summarise:
1) connect your phone to your pc using ActiveSync (NOT the DiskDrive connection)
2) Make sure you have an active internet connection
3) run Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5.exe from your PC and follow the steps HardSPL prompts you with (incase your antivirus says something, trust me, there is no virus)
4) Press OK when asked to wait
5) everything will continue automatically (if an error pops up, STOP and mail me with your error)
6) you will see your phone jump to a tri coloured screen eventually. anything displayed on screen will be automated (again, any errors here...well let's hope you don't get any)
7) Your device will automatically reboot and you have HardSPL 1.83
Now, let's make sure it installed correctly!
- switch off your phone.
- hold down the Volume - button (minus/volume down) and press the power button. This will take you to the famous Bootloader mode. Here you should see the word Olinex somewhere. If you do, YAY, softreset your phone (the little red button under the battery cover)
- if NOT: send me a message
!!!IMPORTANT!!! You only have to do the HardSPL installation ONCE After completing the above, you can simply proceed with the following steps from now on.
OK! Now you have the means to install the ROM you want!
Step ZERO: - Connect your phone via activesync -> open My Computer -> double click on your diamond 2 -> You will now see two folders. One is internal memory, the other is your storage card -> right click on your storage card -> properties -> look for the words FAT 32 -> If it says that, proceed with "Choose your ROM!!!" below.
If it DOESN'T say FAT 32, then do the following:
- close that window and right click on your storage card again. Now click format (REMEMBER TO BACKUP)
- select FAT 32 as your File System (NOT NTFS) and then click format
- once that is complete, you may proceed with the next steps below.
Choose your ROM!!!! (I am a Dutty fan, so that's the first one i'm going to recommend...however, the method of flashing stays the same)
Once you have downloaded your chosen ROM, make sure you have the following files: TOPAIMG.nbh and TopazRUUWrapper.exe
there are TWO ways of flashing: (again, please make sure your phone is fully charged)
Method one:
- Copy the TOPAIMG.nbh file into the ROOT directory of your storage card (NOT onto your phone). (Root directory means as soon as you double click on the storage card, THAT place, that's the root directory...some people call it base directory)
- switch off your phone and enter bootloader mode (read how to in the HardSPL section above)
- You will now come to a white screen with blue writing.
- It should tell you that you can continue flashing by pressing the power button.
Once that is pressed, you sit back and wait till your phone is flashed!

Method 2:
ALTERNATIVE WAY OF FLASHING YOUR ROM WITH RUU.exe
- Turn off your device by using the Power Button
- Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down and press the Power button.
- Connect your device to PC (with activesync, yes it works even if your phone is not "fully" on)
- Run the TopazRUUWrapper.exe and follow the screen instructions.
Whichever method you choose, once you get the message that everything was successful, open your battery cover and press the red reset button once. THEN, as soon as you have entered your pin code and your phone is on, switch it off
Now hold volume up (+) AND volume down (-) and press the power button. You are thereby doing a "Hard Reset".
Once that is done, CONGRATULATIONS! your new ROM is ready to go!!!
I hope this proves useful to some!

Good and Clear
Thanks for including some missing points which some of our members missed/or/got questions during flshing (first flash ).
Thanks.
great job. it will be very helpful for the first time flashers
Sorry for the double post dont know what hapend!
great job. it will be very helpful for the first time flashers
Another tip fort first-time flashers:
Do not forget your silk underwear and trenchcoat!
Seriously though, this is a great simple guide for newbies like me. I'm still in the process of exploring the standard WinMo 6.5 as well as Manila, trying to decide what I want as it is and what I want differently.
Hey guys, if you are having trouble with some of the content in this guide, please check out my other "pre-guide guide" over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4963913#post4963913

Thanks for all the help, ive sucessfully installed my first ROM
Very helpful, The pre-guide and this.. both helped a LOT.
Thanks
One more thing, do i have to do the HardSPL 1.83 flashing part everytime i want to install a new ROM, or is that enough if its done once, and then only do the RUU.exe from the pc?

I am very glad you managed to get it all working!
the answer to your question: NO HardSPL is done and over with, you only have to do it once. I will update this in the guide, to reflect the once off HardSPL'ing.
Also, thanks rspillo:

Excellent guide, I wish I have seen it before flashing my first ROM, it is always comforting to have a step-by-step guide to follow even if the process is quite simple.
After some research on xda, I have followed the same steps you mention, and the ROMS are working perfectly, so I guess I have done it right....still there was some anxiousness at the end of the flash that is not mentioned in your guide: HardSPL stop telling flashing the ROM went OK, but never reboot....basically, to reboot it i am forced to use the soft reset button behind the back cover, all the hardware buttons including power button are not responsive. This is worrying for a first timer and should be mentioned somewhere (or is it just me, the normal behavior is auto-reboot?)
Other thing worth mentioning in your guide is the hard reset after a flash: you may add that it s advisable to do, and explain how to do it (power off, then power up while holding volume-up AND volume-down pressed simultaneously). This has taken me 2 customs ROM to figure out ;-)

I did not know this thanks for this
not all custom ROMs require a hard reset. i've almost never had to do it.
but i digress. i will update as recommend by all

Performing an immediate hard reset upon completing the initial flash is something I almost never do. However, I continue to recommend it to people who flash my ROMs since I have had it solve some issues in the past.
-Edit-
I'm gonna move this thread to ROM Development since it centers around flashing ROMs. I have "stuck" your roll-up thread leading here.

Hi all,
I will be a new htc owner next week and i'm trying to enter this htc world to be ready as soon as i get my toy (topaz)
My topaz is not blocked to any operator and my question is: Do i need to use Hard SPL 1.83 to flash for the first time considering the device is unlocked???
Thanks
PS: i'm sorry for this questions but i really didn't find any docs for beginners!!
Have a device blocked to an operator means that you only can use a SIM from that operator, it's not related with unlock to flash cooked roms, or HTC roms not provided thru Serial Number download from HTC Site
HardSPl is allways required to flash any other rom, please read the 1st posts where an explanation is stated, and as no relation at all with SIM Block
Happy flashing

Thank you for your answer, i was confused with so many threads and information. It is in fact a little bit difficult to enter in a world like this. I own an Asus P750 and in related websites of Asus sometimes after a mouth no new posts if you now what i mean
So here it is the opposite, it's good but i have some years in disadvantage to update.
If i will post some stupid questions, so be it!! It's my beginning!!
Again thanks to reply.

Thanks bros for your introduction on flashing a ROM (this is particularly useful for newbie like me in reducing the problem encounter~)
1 more question..i knew that hardreset will rest all the things and revert my phone like it is released from the factory, so what is the initiative to have it hardreset after i flash a new ROM? will my newly flashed ROM got "flushed" away after this hardreset?
Thanks again!!
h9922293, doing a Hard Reset will only reset the ROM you currently have installed. It doesn't (and can't) reset to your original ROM that the phone came with, because that ROM is long gone.
Think of it as switching your pc off, then turning it on again, to find all your programs and settings have gone back to original, but your modified windows xp/vista/7 is still there.
that make sense?
Hi,
This is my very first post (NOT ANYMORE - I posted the same on anther thread, but the thread was related to Nexus One). I am a total newbie regarding smartphones and even more regarding Android. 3 weeks ago I acquired a GT-I5500B (Samsung Galaxy 5). The phone itself is very good and the OS fits well on it. As curious as I am, I started poking around and found lots of good things about android devices like, rooting, flash Custom Roms, Images backups and recovery. Soon I found that was was supposed to be an easy and fun task like applying custom roms and OS upgrades are indeed quite hard to figure out. I give credit to the word 'Hard' to the carriers that like to make things as obscure as possible so for an OS upgrade you should get a new device. Seems that this is the problem with mine (I5500B).
They went so far that they removed the possibility of rebooting in recovery mode just by pressing a buttom combo (Power + Home + Volume Up). The recovery image is there, garanteed. It can be accessed by using 'adb reboot recovery'. The menu is quite simple and doesn't have the Backup, Restore option. Also, as a side note, I'd like to add that I have a feeling that a simple configuration change would make this work because while trying to enter in
recovery mode the screen hangs at the GT-I5500B logo and doesn't go further until I release the phone buttons. It is like if it was trying to find the boot and/or recovery partitions but couldn't...
I was checking up the OS installation on the device. I am somewhat skilled in linux so navigating through the shell was pretty familiar. For my surprise the /boot and /recovery partitions don't show up.
I would love to start playing around with my phone but I have a few questions before I do that.
1) From what I've been reading seems that there is no way I can perform an image backup without flashing a custom recovery image. IS this true ?? Isn't there another way of performing a Full backup before starting flashing things around ??
2) If there's no way to make a full phone backup before flashing, I think the appropriate way to push back the stock OS is by using the ODIN method (Download mode has not been disabled on I5500B), right ?? If so, how can I find the stock rom for my device ??
3) Do you have any idea if I can mount the recovery and boot partitions so I can take a look at their contents ?? Or even backup those partitions to an external drive. How can I find out on what device they are on ?
Any kind of answer, documentation pointing, blog, any new information helps...
Thanks,
SoonS_BR
Try posting at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781149. This tread is still active and since it applies to your phone model I assume you could get an answer there.

Ok, so I need some assistance on installing CWM or another recovery mode on my YourPad P4. I've already rooted and installed ROM Manager, but it could not find a compatible CWM version.
Now, first off I have also been unable to get an exact or better identification of this tablet other than it being sold as a "YourPad P4" and that it's model is MID; so I might also need help getting more details to better assist the finding of a compatible or working recovery.
Here is some information about it...
* Site purchased from/detail page:
http://www.yourstoreonline.net/yourpad_p4_new_android_40/id2040716/product.html
Don't worry, I got it for ~$100 (with the 1GB RAM upgrade), not the displayed price on the site!
* About tablet page info:
Model number: MID
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel version: 3.0.8
[email protected] #2
Build number: 20120807-A721
Also, before I start messing with it I was going to make a nandroid backup to share for others...does nandroid backup firmware as well? I've never needed to restore a backup so I have no idea what goes into it and can't find a quick answer. I'd like to make a backup of a clean as possible system to share for anyone wanting it. Although I'm surprised that its not been mentioned on xda, I'd expect this tablet to have at least been asked about once considering it was mentioned on woot.
Thanks to anyone for any help, and I apologize if this should be in a different section. If so, could a mod please move it before any fuss is made.
And now, I'm off to bed (so I won't be responding/checking this for a few hours).
Not to sure about the rules for thread bumping, but I just wanna make sure this gets seen soon (as I'll be very busy and it will be hard to work on it next week and the the days that follow).
Also I thought it was worth mentioning now that only really mentions of this tablet I can find are in posts by me, ahahahahaha
EDIT: Oh, and I havn't verified I even have a recovery partition yet as I can't cat /proc/mtd
it's been about a week now and no response; I even posted it over here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...cs-need-help-recovery-install-yourpad-p4.html
so bumping, if anyone at the very least knows some mystical other worldly site that somehow manages the chance of providing me an answer over the ever amazing xda; please post

Thanks alot for this, I'll definitely read it over a few times before attempting. Hopefully this will work out. Thread is still open for any other input, so anyone else coming here that can provide any additional help go ahead and post.
Well I still have been unable to get a recovery option going. I tried the link mentioned by AJ88 and it didn't work for me. Essentially the link boiled down to 2 simple adb commands and a custom recovery.img. First step was to "adb push recovery.img /data/", but I ran into a permission denied issue and could not figure out a way around it (didn't want to mess with chmod, but I did run the "fix permissions" script in the clockworkmod rom manager. So instead I just pushed the recovery.img to my sdcard. Next step was "adb shell "cat /data/recovery.img > /dev/block/nandg; sync""; so instead I went "adb shell" then su to make sure I didn't get any more issues, then just "cat /sdcard/recovery.img > /dev/block/nandg; sync". Rebooted and tried all combinations of key pressings to access recovery with no luck (even tried via adb). So any ideas on my next course of action?
youtPad P4 issues
Dear EarthBoundX5,
Please do not feel alone in what I might be perceiving as "buyer's remorse" as I also own this device and have begun to have issues with it functionality. Initially I was attracted to this device for what seemed a myriad of available functions and abilities, however I'm really starting to believe the old saying, "you get what you pay for".
My main issue at this point is when using the free Kindle app, after selecting my book, the screen goes completely blank and does NOT come back with the reading material I've selected. If I touch the back button, I get a brief flash of the screen showing the page that I'm on in the book, but after that nothing. I've tried rebooting the machine, currently trying a fresh install of the Kindle app, we'll see how that goes TODAY.
I also have another off-brand tablet, iBridge, which was purchased during the frustration period of waiting for YourStore . com to get their act together and send me the YourPad. Funniest part about it though is that the iBridge comes with a booklet thats 4x the size of the poorly written "booklet" that the YourPad people put out.
I'm sorry that I don't have a solution for your problem as I'm a complete newb with the tablet world, but wanted to at least touch base with you to let you know "you are not alone. I am here with you...." LOL
Found you with a google search for online help regarding YourPad, and it brought me to you, and this seems like the most helpful place I might have found in reference to oddball tablet issues. Take care, have a good day. and I'll check back in to notify regarding Kindle reinstall.
Well I've been waiting for a reply to either of my threads with no luck, so today I figured I'd just try again the method of manually setting up a recovery, and this time I just decided to try and hold every button I could while powering and and BAM RECOVERY MODE *****ES!!!!!! So guess either I must've just screwed up last time or something. Anyways, I'll edit the OP to reflect all this later...maybe start a dedicated thread with any quirks I figure out down the line using this tablet; and of course post my nandroid backup. When I setup my 2nd YourPad, I'll make sure to make backups of any files I may have had to change (ie, nandg, etc). The question is, what section would such a thread belong?

Dear EarthBoundX5,
Please do not feel alone in what I might be perceiving as "buyer's remorse" as I also own this device and have begun to have issues with it functionality. Initially I was attracted to this device for what seemed a myriad of available functions and abilities, however I'm really starting to believe the old saying, "you get what you pay for".
My main issue at this point is when using the free Kindle app, after selecting my book, the screen goes completely blank and does NOT come back with the reading material I've selected. If I touch the back button, I get a brief flash of the screen showing the page that I'm on in the book, but after that nothing. I've tried rebooting the machine, currently trying a fresh install of the Kindle app, we'll see how that goes TODAY.

I don't feel any buyer's remorse...yet at least, haha. If I end up having the same issues as you, maybe I'll change my mind; but I really don't see much wrong yet with this tablet. I mean, obviously its cheap and all, but for the poor man its fantastic. But ya, I HATE the YourStore, they took FOREVER to ship out the tablets. Anyways, for people like you, it really makes me thing I should take point on this tablet and start a dedicated thread.

[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: What's the difference between "Development" and "Original Development"?[/SIZE]
Here are the rough guidelines as to what should be placed in "Original Development":
*Official release of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them).
*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
*A significant "first" in development for a device. This is something which took considerable time/effort and is generally accepted by developers to be non-trivial.
*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available.
*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to the users of the target device.
All other development work goes into "Android Development".
[SIZE=+1]Q2: How do I root my phone?[/SIZE]
There are a few different ways you can root your phone. Below are a few threads to help you successfully root your One;
Superboot - Unfortunately, this method will only work if you're lucky enough to have S-Off. This is simply a boot.img that when booted, will root your device once you boot up.
All-In-One Toolkit - If you're looking to root your device the easy way, use this toolkit.
*NOTE* I'll never recommend using a toolkit to root your device because if you don't know how to root your phone manually, you shouldn't be rooting your phone.
Root/Unlock/Recovery/Flashing Custom ROMs - This is the preferred way to root your phone because it actually requires you to read and do the work yourself. Follow the steps exactly as instructed and you'll be rooted and all ready for a custom ROM.
[HOWTO] Unlock, Flash the Recovery and Rooting your HTC One + Fastboot guide - Here is another great guide which will help you to successfully unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery and root your One.
*NOTE* Always be sure to double check everything you read and follow the instructions carefully.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: How can I enter bootloader mode & recovery mode?[/SIZE]
To enter bootloader mode make sure your phone is turned off. Turn it back on while holding the 'volume down' button and you will successfully enter bootloader mode.
*NOTE* Before you enter bootloader mode your bootloader must be unlocked. Unlock your bootloader by following the first part of this thread.
To enter recovery mode, you will need to enter the bootloader (as detailed above) then use the 'volume down' button to navigate to 'RECOVERY'. Press the power button to confirm your choice. You'll now be booted into your custom recovery.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: What is the best ROM/kernel/modem?[/SIZE]
Honestly, there is no "best". It's all based on personal choice. For example; I may like heavily customizing my ROMs whereas you may like it to look at basic as possible. The best thing you can do is to just test out different ROMs/kernels/modems and see which you prefer.
Also, please don't ask which is the best because your post will likely be deleted as it's against forum rules to ask that question.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: I hear a lot about ADB. What is it?[/SIZE]
Find out everything you need to know by reading the following thread - ADB Workshop and Guide for everyone.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: Am I required to backup my ROM before flashing anything else?[/SIZE]
No you're not, but it is definitely a good idea because if you don't do a backup and then something goes wrong, it means that you'll lose all your apps, data etc. It just saves a lot of hassle.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: Does this phone have good battery life?[/SIZE]
It's impossible to give you a perfect answer because there are so many different aspects which can affect battery life. We all have different apps installed, use our phones for different amounts of time, have different ROMs and kernels installed etc. so we will all experience different results regarding battery life.
Take a look at the Battery Stats Thread to see the usage & average battery life of other forum members.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: This phone is amazing and I want to tell others how good it is.[/SIZE]
Woah! Wait a moment. DON'T create a new thread to tell us what you think of the One. Instead, you can post your review in the following thread - Centralization Review of the HTC One
[SIZE=+1]Q9: I'm not sure whether to get the HTC One/what other phones compare to the One?[/SIZE]
The only person who can make you want the device is you. If you're not sure whether to get this phone, go to your local phone shop which has stock and have a test run of it for yourself. This will give you a good feel as to whether you'll like the One or not.
As phone comparison threads are not allowed in this forum, as detailed here, if you're not sure what device to get and want to compare between your choices, please use the following thread - Device Suggestion Thread
[SIZE=+1]Q10: When will the One be S-Off?[/SIZE]
The One is now S-Off. Check out the 2 following threads to find out how to make your device S-Off - S-Off by revone & S-Off by Moonshine
[SIZE=+1]Q11: I have a custom recovery installed but I can't boot into it.[/SIZE]
Use the command - fastboot erase cache.
You should now be able to boot into recovery.
[SIZE=+1]Q12: I'm getting bad audio quality via Bluetooth connections. How can I fix it?[/SIZE]
You can sort this out by turning off your WiFi, connecting to the Bluetooth device again and then - if needed - turn WiFi back on again.
[SIZE=+1]Q13: I don't like Blinkfeed. Can I get rid of it?[/SIZE]
Yes you can.
Thanks to Onepagebook, we can now remove BlinkFeed by replacing the default prism.apk with a modified version which can be found in his thread here. For installation instructions and all relevant information, check his thread out and then sit back and enjoy not seeing BlinkFeed anymore
As you'll be delving into the /system folder you'll need root access for the above method.
For those of you who aren't rooted, check out the following workarounds -
The only way to get rid of it, at the moment, is to install a custom launcher such as Apex or Nova.
One thing you can do, however, is to change Blinkfeed to a different screen so that it's out of the way and you won't have to see it as soon as you hit the Home button.
To do this;
*On the Blinkfeed screen, click the 3 dot menu button and click Customizer home screen.
*Long press on one of the other screen and drag it to where it says Set As Home.
It's as simple as that!
[SIZE=+1]Q14: AROMA installer has crashed/I can't reboot after AROMA crashed. How can I fix it?[/SIZE]
This is not a problem with the ROM you're trying to flash. It's an AROMA problem but luckily there are ways around it so you can get back to happy flashing
Reboot, reflash and instead of using the touchscreen use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select an option.
If you're not able to reboot your phone, these solutions should help you do so.
1) Make sure you've held the power button/power button + volume down for around 15-20 seconds and it should replicate a battery pull and reboot your phone.
2) Connect your phone to a PC. Then type the following command into the command windows where ADB is installed - adb reboot recovery
3) Use hasoon2000's All-In-One Toolkit to force flash your recovery (either CWM or TWRP) and it removes the crash.
4) If none of these have worked then, unfortunately, you'll simply need to wait until your battery has ran out and reflash again.
[SIZE=+1]Q15: How can I change the shortcuts on my lockscreen?[/SIZE]
It's actually really simple. All you have to do is drag an app icon from your app drawer to your dock (either side of the app drawer icon) and then lock your screen to see that it has also been changed there aswell.

As I have the international variant of the One, I'm not 100% sure if there's any difference between mine and T-Mobile variants except for carrier specific issues.
If there are other differences and therefore some incompatible information in this FAQ, please let me know so I can amend it right away
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know that your previous post states that you are not sure if the T-Mobile variant has any differences besides possible carrier based issues. however I have realized that there seems to be more in the way of development for the international version. do you think that if I flash a ROM, Kernel or Recovery for the international version it would brick my T-Mobile M7?

[SIZE=+1]Q6: How can I Sim-Unlock my phone ?[/SIZE]
Call T-Mobile and request to unlock the Sim-Card using device unlock app that came pre-installed from T-Mobile. Get your IMEI number ready. You need to wait 40 days to be T-mobile user if the phone financed or lease, but you can unlock it right away if you purchased the phone out right without contract. I did it and use it on ATT network with no problem. Thanks to my buddy @markbencze that confirmed it in HERE and @Warrior1975 that also confirmed it in HERE

[SIZE=+1]Q10: What does MD5 checksum mean??[/SIZE]
MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as Md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compare the checksum of the downloaded file to it. So this tool are to make sure that you would get same file as the developer uploaded file. Download MD5 TOOL CHECKER
[SIZE=+1]Q11: What is the best ROM/kernel/modem??[/SIZE]
Honestly, there is no "best". It's all based on personal choice. For example; I may like heavily customizing my ROMs where as you may like it to look at stock as possible. The best thing you can do is to just test out different ROMs/kernels/modems and see which you prefer.
[SIZE=+1]Q12: How do I restore a Nandroid Backup?[/SIZE]
Enter TWRP recovery mode again and look for the ‘backup and restore’. Select restore and everything should go back to normal in a few minutes.If you choose the ‘Advanced Restore’ option, you can select which component of the backup to restore – like the boot, system, data or cache .... Reboot to system. Your system is now restored and is exactly same as the time when the backup was made.

I've noticed that Google Now opens kind of slowly on this phone. You may start typing in the search bar, then it will reload and the keyboard will disappear, then you'll have to tap twice to get it back. Finally then you can type and search. I'm just wondering if this is the app or is it only on this phone that it does that..

I've tried stock, EYG Kernel, and the mods by warbeard_Actual. Same issues with all. Usually the issue shows up after a few weeks of usage in each rom, so I doubt it's hardware failure.
Edit: I've figured out the case. When my data connection drops, my bluetooth seems to flip out too. Which brings me to another issue. I've been having data drops close to every 30 minutes now, sometimes more than that. My family who is also on tmobile are not having these issues, so it's no issue with the towers. Not sure what's causing my data drops.

Have not experienced this issue or seen any other posts about it. Are other people getting double texts from you or just her? Have you tried another messaging app to test and see if that also replicates this issue? I always tell people to use Textra for messaging. Maybe try that or any of the other countless text apps.

Hello to all,
Respected members I have a LG v10 T-Mobile version with MM 6.0 stock version. I bought the phone today only. I have rooted many phones without any issues or trouble. Today when I used the method described in this thread [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/tool-t3283944 ]. Now the problem is that I followed all the instructions up to the letter & everything was going ok.
I clicked the install.bat file the phone rebooted in download mode then it displayed that welcome to fastboot & there were a few options. On pc it in the CMD window which opened when I clicked install.bat file
which was present in the zip file I downloaded from the post it was displaying that waiting for device for I think may be 2 or 3 minutes. The it closed after 5minutes & I was seeing a black screen with 2 options with fast boot heading on top. The first option is to press the power button for 10 seconds to restart the phone or press fast reboot from adb. The problem is that I clicked both up & down volume keys after keeping the power key pressed for 10 seconds or more but nothing happened. The screen stayed for atleast 40 mimutes. Now the problem is that When I took the battery out of the phone to restart it booted & then after
lg mobile logo it displays that software not Recognize or Recognition failed. Can anyone please tell me what to do or that it is bricked or not. At the moment there is no bootloop or anything else. The phone is still connected to the pc with usb cable & is in firmware update mode. One more thing I wanted to respected members is that can I remove the phone or not. The phone is connected since 3 hours. I am at the moment download original stock firmware for T-Mobile v10 which MM 6.0. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
The phone booted to main screen & everything works fine. I also did a hard factory reset. It starts now but the only thing is that it displays that Phone software cannot be checked for corruption. It displays this for atleast 7 seconds & then the boots normally. What should I do. Should I flash the stock tmobile MM6.0 again through LG flash tool. PLease any suggestions r greatly appreciated.

I've got a fun one.
I'm not sure what happened exactly, but after failing to install a kernel for 6.0 MM for my V10, I've lost a bunch... But still have a perfectly working phone?
fast charge, Fastboot, ADB... LG Up and LG Bridge don't recognize my phone anymore, and Windows 10 reports it as "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" in the Device Manager.
I've tried multiple PCs, multiple cables, tried it on my Raspberry Pi and MacBook Pro too... No dice.
I still have TWRP working, I've still got my root going, and I do have xposed framework installed...
The heck did I do that I can't seem to undo?! Help!
Can someone please help me? I just got a T-Mobile LG V10 off eBay. It said the phone would just reboot and apps were crashing. His wife was due for a upgrade so she just got a SGS7. Will I got there's phone working I unlocked the bootloader but am still having some trouble flashing TWRP. But my real problem is that the phone has no sound and the mic isn't working. Everything else works great. Even vibration.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
Any Way Out of Brick?
Hello guys I really need your help please. My LG v10 h901 bricked and it was on Tizen v5 custom rom, prior to that it never gave a problem - not even once.
I just received a call with my phone while driving and after a while? I realize no activity. I check & see that it is stuck on the "your device software can't be checked for corruption"
If I remove the battery, put it back & connect the charger, it charges & shows charge progress.
I can get into the factory reset using hardware keys but I can't get to TWRP.
I removed the sdcard and everything seems to be intact without corruption.
There was this one time it got in for some few minutes then restarted to verification stage.
I can get into download mode but in the device manager I see LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port, It also shows up as LGE AndroidNet USB Modem. I've tried many things including flashtool, lgup and uppercut to no avail.
It doesn't overheat.
Bootloop or just maybe os/recovery failure??
I've tried everything here and on several websites to no avail. I thought of any modification I made to the phone prior to the problem & realize the evening before the bootloop, I installed "Swipe" & "All in One Gestures" to get full immersive look.
On the swipe, there was a time I got a warning & cos I was driving I believe I selected Ok.
Today, I was doing the same setup on my G3 then the warning came up and I read it carefully & selected cancel. I have a feeling that's my problem (it isn't the expected LG bootloop).
It is still stuck on the verification stage . When I checked on flashtool, I realized is no IMEI.
Tried to use fastboot to flash recovery.img boot.img aboot.img and laf.img I got from the tot I flashed TWRP with but it isn't seeing the phone.
Thanks Guys!!!
NB:
Got fastboot to work, see device and reboot command works but all other commands to erase or write images (boot & recovery) had error FAILED(recovery: unknown command)

Hello guys I really need your help please. My LG v10 h901 bricked and it was on Tizen v5 custom rom, prior to that it never gave a problem - not even once.
I just received a call with my phone while driving and after a while? I realize no activity. I check & see that it is stuck on the "your device software can't be checked for corruption"
If I remove the battery, put it back & connect the charger, it charges & shows charge progress.
I can get into the factory reset using hardware keys but I can't get to TWRP.
I removed the sdcard and everything seems to be intact without corruption.
There was this one time it got in for some few minutes then restarted to verification stage.
I can get into download mode but in the device manager I see LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port, It also shows up as LGE AndroidNet USB Modem. I've tried many things including flashtool, lgup and uppercut to no avail.
It doesn't overheat.
Bootloop or just maybe os/recovery failure??
I've tried everything here and on several websites to no avail. I thought of any modification I made to the phone prior to the problem & realize the evening before the bootloop, I installed "Swipe" & "All in One Gestures" to get full immersive look.
On the swipe, there was a time I got a warning & cos I was driving I believe I selected Ok.
Today, I was doing the same setup on my G3 then the warning came up and I read it carefully & selected cancel. I have a feeling that's my problem (it isn't the expected LG bootloop).
It is still stuck on the verification stage . When I checked on flashtool, I realized is no IMEI.
Tried to use fastboot to flash recovery.img boot.img aboot.img and laf.img I got from the tot I flashed TWRP with but it isn't seeing the phone.
Thanks Guys!!!
NB:
Got fastboot to work, see device and reboot command works but all other commands to erase or write images (boot & recovery) had error FAILED(recovery: unknown command)

I no longer have this device and cannot be much help but i do wish you luck
This was 6 devices ago for me, aside from switching to Samsung devices and now the Google Pixel XL, I have no idea how to fix that issue. Sorry.
