[Q] Could this be done? Ultra Power Saving Mode on htc M7? - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

I know the hardware for the m7 and m8 are different but would it be possible on a rooted device to use just one underclocked core of the M7 to allow the wake on double tap of the screen? If there was such an app, here's my money. It's just an easier way of turning on the original One because the power button is hard to reach on the top without shifting your grip while using one hand. Someone please say yes.

The latest update actually does give the M7 the Yuka power saving mode. I have it on mine right now. I'm not rooted or even unlocked.

Bootloader Status On Launch Day?

Has there been any word from sprint or HTC about the status of the e3d bootloader on launch day?
it will be locked at launch which is not a problem. the problem is that it will be cryptographically signed at launch

well technically every phone is locked but the term locked/encrypted is used with one another so my question is about the encryption status at launch?
HTC has had almost a month from when they reversed their policy til launch. I was wondering if they are ready
I can't find the link, but I thought I read somewhere a week or so back on Android Central (maybe) that the 3D will ship encrypted then later on (who knows how long) HTC will offer a software update that will un-encrypt it so we can have access to the bootloader/nand and be able to write ROMs and Kernels.
I could be wrong, so take it with a grain of salt
They get 30 days to unlock my phone...and then it gets returned and I swear off HTC for good....too bad, I hate samsung phones... Their radios suck

why? they have already said they will unlock it. do you know how long it takes to get things done in the real world? they will have to create a tool or new bootloader that is switchable. these things need to be created and thoroughly tested before rolling out to avoid potentially bricking phones. not to mention all the red tape im sure they will have to go through with the carriers. it will happen, but i wouldnt guess within 30 days so you might as well just not buy it.
now the devs who got the dump with the engineering bootloader may get the phone unlocked within that time frame but thats a different story

exactly thats why i started a different thread trying to discuss the official unlocking vs unofficial. Unless this engineering leak really came from HTC to keep us happy why they try to do their thing.
But I for one would love to know what their plan is.

eh I should have been more specific i was referring to the samsung phones being pieces of crap I can wait for the unlocking no biggie there.
Depending on how the phone operates out of the box, I think I can wait however long it takes for them to unlock it. I don't use wireless tether hardly at all, and aside from that, that's the only reason I would need to root it. I prefer stock ROMs sometimes, as long as they're responsive. I can go with custom ROMs built to look stock if the stock ROM functions crappy.
I will tell you the status when I have the phone in my hands.... LOL

Fast Boot is enabled which is why the phone boots up so fast. When you power off the phone it is in hibernation and not completely shut down. Disable fast boot from menu>settings and you should be able to boot into it by pressing volume down and power.
right on - thanks unCoRrUpTeD.

[Q] <Q> How to root Sharp Sh 12-c

Hi everyone,
I googled every conner on internet but could not find any thread showing how to root sharp sh-12c. has anyone rooted the phone ?
thanks
I would really like to know if it can be done as well. I live in Australia and now I really regret getting this phone. So use to a rooted phone. There's just too much bloat on this Docomo device. Because of the locked nand I don't think this phone will ever see root.
we are in same place mate. i live in aus as well. this phone is really annoying with junk japanese applications that's never used.
Hope someone will find a way to root it as well. Want to get rid of the bloat on this and replace a lot of the crappy Sharp system apps like the calendar and calculator.
Have any of you guys got any of the built in market links (specifically Taiko no Tatsujin and Katamari) to work?
you are not alone, i am the user of sh-12c in hong kong ....and search the internet night and day for the solution...
and i found this hope .... h t t p : / /i.imgur.com/3daGV.jpg

how to get root SH-12C
Hi, I'm goroh_kun from japan.
If you can get own risk, and don't care about losing the maker warranty,
I can help you.
But I can't talk the security hole in public, because of legal problem in japan.
If you really want to get root, please DM me, thanks.
I also get alot of reboots on this phone as well. Any one else with this phone having the same problem or is it just me. I think the problem has something to do with the phones data connection cause this only happens when I'm out and about. Not when I'm using wifi. But to be honest I have know idea what's causing it to reboot. It's not caused by some app that I've installed cause the reboots even happens after a fresh reset of phone.
Giiar, try disabling auto 3g/gsm and leave it just on 3g.
Apparently it reboots (sounds like a bug) when it switches between 3g and gsm.
i really regret that bough this phone. the battery runs out of power very fast. nothing special on it.
I guess we need some time to familiar with this JAPANESE Andriod. It works quite differently as compare with other Andriod.(I'd used about 20 models since this year) Lots of tiny enhancements are quite meaningful and interesting. (Manner mode, Veilview(avoid others beside you seeing your screen), extra lock screen for your phone book, answering machine function,etc)
All and all, this is a TRUE 3D phone that can take 3D photo and video for my family and friends. All people around are envy on this and actually it isn't really expensive. I consider the BEST phone on the earth at the time being. (other 3D phones design are truly ugly when compare with this SHARP that 100% made in Japan) I'll not try another non-3D Android from now on...I guess.
Battery is truly the bad thing....I manage to solve this problem with an external battery pack 4800mAh....cheap and good enough, can charge other devices too. (e.g. give a hand to your iPhone friends around when needed..)
Re-booting issue maybe related to your SIM card, I learnt this from Taiwanese users and I'd replaced a new SIM for same reason. Working perfectly for few days from then.
All these are my own experience and hope most of us will enjoy using this phone!

Well I've been keeping it on GSM and only manually turning it to 3g when Browsing. 2 days now and no reboots which is great. Thanks for trying to help. I actually saw this solution on another site and there they mentioned that this is the only known fix for the rebooting issue.

General tips:
-Are you sure that WIFI and GPS are off when you don't use them?
-Have you tried a task killer to check if any unneeded apps are running?
-Have you tried to run on GSM only, to save battery?
-Have you tried "bump charging"? Supposed to increase battery life 50-100%: http://www.gizmocrunch.com/mobile/6754-htc-sensation-evo-3d
Don't have this phone, these are just generic tips that improve other androids stand by time.
Now my phone is on a continuous loop. Doesn't even get into the the screen where they ask for the pin code. Ran into so much issues with this phone. Can't even work out how to do a hard reset so I can get the phone to boot. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance.
could anyone share the method here if you successfully rooted this phone???

hey great info on the power issues and rebooting ive had the same issues my sh-12c turned on and off about 3 times in 5 mins and the placed it did that was while i was traveling in and out of 'dead spots' for signal so hopefully that will help.
Good info on the bump charging i was about to order 5 spare batterys and charge them all lol ill put that on hold for a while and see how this goes prob still need one or two more tho just in case.
Im also looking to root it but im a bit nervous on giving it a go without any confirmations can it toataly brick the phone if it goes wrong or is it quiet safe usually like apples jailbreaks where i could just reinstall the firmware? im very tempted to just click and see what happens lol

[Q] Atrix Screen Death Overheating

So I'm watching =3 on the youtube app on my atrix (alien rom) and the screen starts having these purple lines.
I cut out of the application to the home screen (desktop what ever its called) and the lines are exagerated.
I try locking the screen and unlocking and now its black.
Pull battery reboot, everything lights up I hear noises but the screen stays back
I took it apart (sim and all) because i noticed it was overheating and am now just letting it cool down.
any ideas ?
Also the phone seems to constantly boot when connected to any power source regardless of the battery being in
So I purchased he phone fairly recently and although the firmware was modified i was thinking about just taking it to AT&T and trying to have them replace it.
Since they can't actually use the phone to tell if it was modified

As long as there is no unlock in the upper left corner which I'm guessing there isn't with the screen totally blank then you should be alright when you take it in for a exchange but >,> if you wanna mess with it a lil try the methods to get it to fast boot and see if you can try some of the commands to tell how far along is it most likely it isn't anything to do with the system as is and is a screen malfunction possibly due to the heat. to wipe your data simply use the "fastboot -w" command then try rebooting just to see if it is in fact the screen.
Did you have it overclocked?

Power / Lock Button Sucks

Just recently my top button to unlock and power up my phone has been sucking....I have to push it much much harder than you should have to. I can no longer turn on the phone with one hand unless the bottom of the phone is pushing against something else.
Is there any fix for this? Or should I start looking for something to make my camera button do this job or something?
Running MeanBean by the way if that matters.
Thanks.

[Q] Asked With My Apologies: Factory Default an HTC EVO 4G LTE with No OS from TWRP

Dear Whom Can Help,
My sincere apologies if this thread feels redundant, but other threads dealing with restoring this phone are starting from steps well beyond an initial, and/or are using jargon that is at opaque at best from an outsider...
To reduce to salient points:
I bought a used HTC Evo 4G LTE through Glyde.com to port it over to Ting. The previous owner must have been one of your folk, a phone modder / tinkerer / developer / what have you, because it came in an obviously altered state. (Something called Beanstalk loading, terminal apps, etc.)
I don't want any of this. I respect those that want to root and modify their phone, and as a security and a network design consultant I understand the concepts behind all of it, but I also know when and where I want to apply my time. And I don't want to spend it learning about rooting and messing with my phone. And even if I do want to root it someday, I want to root it from scratch myself, not hope that the last person to have the phone didn't put anything nefarious on it (unlikely) or just did stuff I don't understand (likelier).
So I want the phone back to a completely clean factory state. But I don't know any of the precepts and assumptions that all the "unrooting" conversations I've seen have and make. (Basically, all the unrooting stuff assumes you were the one that rooted it, and so already know the jargon.)
Here's where I'm at:
HTC Evo 4G LTE. The phone is in TMRP v2.3.1.0. There are no packages to restore. There is no external microSD card (I can certainly buy one if it's required). I cannot even reboot, as there is "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"* I can connect the phone via USB to my Windows laptop, if I would need to copy files to it or something.
So, I'm looking to, whether within TWRP or copying a ROM and rebooting the phone or whatever, have the phone back to naked, like I bought it fresh and new, state.
Can someone help me do this? The other questions along these lines point to websites like shipped-roms.com that have pretty names listed like Runnymede and Puccini, but nowhere to explain that my phone is Shooter or Supersonic or what have you. And while I'm pretty computer-savvy, I don't pretend to have any idea what the referents are to statements like "Like how do I get back to fully stock? Or should I be trying to re-root to RUU again? Moonshine doesn't recognize my device in fastboot us..."
I appreciate anyone's time, so I don't have to return this phone. I have already spent a good three-plus hours trying to tackle this, and I fear when I die and my life is flashing before my eyes, this time will be the most boring of the whole lot of it.
Thanks greatly for anyone's time,
Me
* Now, I am aware that I pretty much brought the phone to a worse place, with no OS / no restore points or whatever you kids these days call them, probably while I was trying to restore it to a factory default, which I thought was going to be as simple as clicking on the factory reset option within Android. In any case, yes I made it worse. But I'm at where I'm at, and it's still the dude's fault who sold me a phone without reverting it.
Power the phone completely off. Once off, press the volume down+power button and list all the info displayed on the screen. Then we'll go from there.
If you need to get your phone up & running right now, click the last link in my sig.
Also, I've never flashed to a different carrier, but I believe your phone must be rooted to do so, so at this point you just need to get your phone up and running by flashing a ROM.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Thanks for your insanely quick reply. Luckily, I just got this phone and haven't activated it yet or anything, so there's not a huge time pressure, though I may have to return it.
Unluckily - this is going to sound like incompetence but I swear it's not - I powered off and rebooted but it's simply hanging on the "HTC quietly brilliant" splash screen, rather than listing any system attributes. This may be because the volume down button (I've just noticed now) may not be depressing properly - up has an actual 'click' feel, but down does not.
I'll keep trying to reboot it with the volume down button depressed.
Thanks much for your response!
ACK
No problem. Click the bottom link in my sig and let's get you up and running so you actually have a working ROM on your phone.
Also, if you can get back to TWRP recovery, choose the option to reboot to bootloader, then list the info on that screen.

Ting is a Sprint MVNO, and normally doesn't require rooted phones, just a Sprint-compatible one. There's a little work you have to do on the front-end to activate it with Ting, but it's usually minor. I was worried that the rooting that was done to do this phone could actually **prevent** activation with Ting, which was one reason I was looking to restore to factory state.
It shouldn't affect you being able to flash to Ting.

Audible sigh. No luck on the reboot - I hold power for ten seconds, screen goes black, then a vibration and the "HTC quietly brilliant" splash screen, but it stays there. Holding the Volume Down button before, during, or after seems to have no effect; again, it may be because the volume down button is bad - I can feel volume up click, but volume down is mushy. (Since it wasn't my phone until today, I don't actually know if the button was working or not.)
ACK
Once the screen goes black hold the volume down button in. If nothing happens, well, there are obviously other issues.

I appreciate that, but with all due respect I don't know what that means... there's nothing to check or uncheck. I was once in TWRP, if that's where the 'fastboot' option was, but after FinZ28's recommendation to "Power the phone completely off. Once off, press the volume down+power button and list all the info displayed on the screen", the phone simply boots to the "HTC quietly brilliant" splash screen and does nothing else. I can't re-access TWRP, or anything else, for that matter.
Thanks for your time!
Ok try this, power down let it go completely off then press the power button and vol down button release the power button after 3 seconds while still holding the vol down and see if it will boot to bootloader

Thanks. I tried that / trying right right no, to no avail. I hold "power" and "volume down", let go of "power" while still holding "volume down", and it simply goes to the "htc quietly brilliant" splash screen. It stays there until the battery dies.
When the phone's battery died, and I plugged it in again, the three 'hard' buttons at the bottom did flash, but then again the phone goes to the splash screen and stays there, seemingly no bootloader / other information.

No ROM, I wouldn't think; there was one when I first got the phone yesterday, but clearly I inadvertently deleted it when trying to revert the phone back to a clean slate. My bad on that, though the seller should never have sold me a rooted phone with a bunch of unknown apps on it in the first place (at least without indicating it was a rooted phone, which I wouldn't have chosen to purchase in the first place).
Thanks for your time!
