My HTC One M7 phone is S-OFF, has the latest firmware 7.19.401.2, and has nicely installed "ViperOne+9.0.0-fix", the recovery is TWRP 2.8.6.0. Everything works very well, except that the proximity sensor seems erratic, and when I have a call the ear seems to press different programs on the touchscreen. I would like to return to complete HTC stock ROM so that I assure myself the proximity sensor works well enough (or does not). Do I have to downgrade the firmware to be able to install the stock ROM? I have downloaded the stock ROM PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip but seem to be unable to install from TWRP. Or maybe the only way is via fastboot? With the commands: 1) htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU 2) htc_fastboot flash zip RUU.zip 3) htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader Can someone more experienced give some advice, please?

I've tried to root my HTC Desire 516 dual sim by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/bootloader-fastboot-recovery-htc-desire-t2845467/page8 But obviously, I did something wrong. Now, when I turn on my phone and unlock the screen, suddenly there is a message saying "Unfortunately, HTC Sense has stopped", and I didn't make a backup and now don't know what to do. Can someone help me to fix it? I cannot do anything on the homescreen or even to get in the app menu, only in settings menu. Also, when I try to wipe cache or go for the factory reset it returns a string saying "E: failed to mount/sdcard (no such file or directory)" I tried to find a stock ROM for this phone but seems that there's none on the internet.

I want to revive an old HTC One M9 rotting in my grandmothers locker for some years. I would like to flash the phone with a custom ROM but unfortunately it is locked, so I can't access Android. However according to the HTC documentation to unlock the boot loader on has to enable developer options in Android settings first: > you will need to first manually enable OEM unlocking in Developer > options in order to allow the bootloader to be unlocked and proceed > with the next steps. Apparently without doing so it is not possible to get the identifier token which is needed to unlock the bootloader. fastboot oem get_identifier_token (bootloader) [KillSwitch] : /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/frp (bootloader) [KillSwitch] Last Byte is 0X00, disable unlock (bootloader) [KillSwitch] oem unlock Turn Off! OKAY [ 0.063s] Finished. Total time: 0.063s Is there any way to unbrick this phone? UPDATE: =========== As suggested in the comments I tried to flash > the original RUU ROM to restore a proper state I got it here: https://htcstockrom.com/htc-one-m9 The following steps are suggested: - Enter: fastboot oem rebootRUU - Now enter: fastboot flash zip update.zip - Once the installationis finished, reboot the device. However fastboot oem rebootRUU makes the device humming and blinking but does not lead to a status where I could successfully upload the file (same problem described here ): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVG4kT-LiQQ&feature=emb_rel_end I can upload it in normal download mode but there I get: FAILED (remote: '9 RU_SECURITY_FAIL zip from usb command in download mode') fastboot: error: Command failed

This is my first question here... My problem is similar to the one explained here: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/132522/htc-infinite-reboot-how-to-turn-off-bluetooth-from-adb ..my HTC one rebooting continuously due to bluetooth. So I need to turn bluetooth off from adb or other. I don't have any experience with adb/fastboot nor with recovery mode. I have a Mac with Android Studio installed (including SDK and adb+fastboot). (I'm only starting to learn "android programming"). I would like to try the commands posted in the above link to solve my issue but I have some problems: To enter the Recovery-mode menu I pass through the "Recovery" option on the boot menu (see image). In the HTC site they list the options available on the Recovery-mode menu. The options of this menu are the same I have when I enter recovery-mode, except that there should be an "Apply update from ADB" option that is not present on my phone. (see picture) I know adb installation is correctly set up (I use it to connect to my other phone to test the app I develop on Android Studio). I know that my mac can "see" my HTC when it's connected to USB (for a short moment, before rebooting, when the Android UI of my phone has already load, my mac shows me a message - from Android File Transfer application - telling me that it can't connect to the device). When I'm in recovery mode and I connect my phone through USB and I enter the ADB command "adb devices" on my terminal and my HTC phone is not listed. Do you think I have any chance to fix this problem ? I'd like to avoid factory resetting my phone. Any help/guidance on how to operate would be very much appreciated. Thanks !

I have HTC One M7 which I wasn't using from 2018. So I forgot pattern lock but I want check data on this smartphone. It's good scope to develop and practice with Android. What I've learn till now: - USB debugging is turn off (after use "adb devices" command phone didn't show up) - I can't unlock bootloader because I will lose data (I don't want it) So, there is any possible way to unlock HTC with forgotten pattern lock and without losing data? Thanks for every help!

I have an HTC U11 Life, bricked, CID 332, Telcel operator, main version 2.16.600.1, and S-On. Unfortunately, there is no firmware with this build. I found firmware for this phone, but the only problem is the main version is different. How can I flash the phone with a different main version? Or even unlock the bootloader without enabling OEM unlock because the phone won't fully turn on?

I have a relatively new HTC ONE M8 running Android 5.0.1 (according to the settings page). The phone is supposed to have 10.5 GB space according to Windows, but at the moment only 945 MB is free (again, according to Windows). However, when I select all of my files within and check properties it shows that they all take up only 5 GB of space, meaning another 4-5ish has disappeared. Any ideas how to fix this, as I'm trying to free up space for more music and pictures? Screenshots from DiskInfo and DiskUsage:

A Syrian guy bought HTC 1 M8, it still new, so I don't know what's the android version but it's the default one. He came to me for help. He wants the whole system to be translated to Arabic, and that language isn't available. According to this video , if we just force stopped customization settings provider, it will allow us to select the Arabic language from settings. Is It correct? Is it that simple? Don't I need to root it and stuff? What happens if he restarts the device?

My HTC one m9 plus OS is not working properly (e.g. It reboots several times when I turn on WIFI or data, etc) So I decided to install Android 6 or 7 on it. But after downloading this file During the installation (using adb or putting OS file directly into smartphone's SD card and pressing Power+ - keys in locked mode) it return an error. Probably these errors occur because of unofficial version of OS. If so where can I download official Android 6 or 7 for HTC one m9 plus? and how do I install it? **UPDATE:** Recovery try: 1. press and hold the Power button together with the Volume Down key and hold them until you can see the Download Mode on your screen. 2. select the reboot to bootloader option. 3. go to the boot to Recovery Mode option. after choosing Recovery Mode it shows the following: My smartphone details is as follow: S-ON htc_hiau_ml_thul PVT LK-1.01.0000 RADIO -UNKNOWN openDSP-UNKNOWN OS-2.30.401.1 I've tried the following with cid_num error: modelid: 0PK711000 cidnum: HTC__001 cidnum: HTC__J15 cidnum: HTC__M27 cidnum: HTC__032 cidnum: HTC__Y13 cidnum: HTC__031 cidnum: HTC__102 cidnum: HTC__A07 mainver: 1.85.401.6 modelid: 0PK711000 cidnum: HTC__044 cidnum: HTC__038 mainver: 2.30.707.1 and this unrelated one: modelid: 0PJA10000 cidnum: HTC__001 cidnum: HTC__J15 cidnum: HTC__102 cidnum: HTC__M27 cidnum: HTC__002 cidnum: HTC__032 cidnum: HTC__016 cidnum: HTC__031 cidnum: HTC__A07 cidnum: HTC__Y13 mainver: 4.28.401.3

I have an HTC M8 that is password screen locked. I'm tryin to save the data on this phone. Can't get into settings cause its locked. Tried to install Twrp fastboot but can't I think because usb debugging isn't on. Try using Adb to run commands but doesn't work either. I want to unlock bootloader but I think this erase the data. Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm stuck. Thanks

This is an HTC One with Android 4.3 and Nova Launcher Prime (This may be a Nova issue, not sure yet) Since a picture is worth 1000 words, here is the pictures: Dragging an icon "up" from the lock screen is supposed to unlock the phone and launch the app. This worked fine until I changed SMS apps Now when the phone is locked, it shows this funny little android icon instead of the Textra icon. Dragging the icon up unlocks the phone, but does not launch the app Once the phone is unlocked, the proper icon shows (With the music and browser icons swapped) and clicking the textra icon launches the app properly. I'm going to contact the Nova developer with this as well, but was wondering if anyone had seen anything like this before. **UPDATE This now appears to be a bug or issue with Nova. Tried something I should have tried before asking, but I will update with the solution anyway. I dropped back to the default HTC Sense launcher and the Textra icon was not where it should be. I re-created the shortcut with the HTC launcher, then went back to Nova and got the proper icon and launch behavior.

Please refer me to right portal if this is not a right one. I am having android phone HTC one +.

My Note 2 was stolen during a mugging recently and I'm using an HTC One VX (ATT) until I can afford to get a better phone; insurance wasn't much help. The problem I'm having is that I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it (even though it's a temporary phone, it's slow as heck and I wanted to remove all the AT&T bloatware. I've used Titanium and ROM Toolbox Lite to delete those apps, but they keep coming back after a reboot. What can I do short of installing a custom rom (I don't want a custom rom on here unless absolutely necessary)? Or is there a "checker" system app that checks for and reinstalls these apps that I should freeze or remove? I'm open to experimentation and wouldn't mind "too" much if I accidently bricked it, I feel like taking a brick to this phone anyway, lol. This phone has Android 4.0.4. TL;DR, rooted stock rom HTC One VX, trying to remove bloatware with Titanium and ROM Toolbox but bloatware comes back on reboot.

Is it possible to disable updates to Google Play and Google Play Services? I have automatic updates switched off, but this 2 Google apps are upgrading itself without my permission, and I can only helplessly watch how the free space is decreasing to the amount, my Gmail synchronization is not working anymore (related to https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/3399/does-the-gmail-app-stop-syncing-once-the-low-on-space-message-appears?lq=1) . I know I should root my phone to move apps to SD completely, but I don't want to do that before the end of summer, to not risk not having mobile internet in case something goes wrong. # Edit: Device is a HTC Desire A8181, aka HTC Bravo.

I have been trying to unlock my bootloader as per the instructions found here. I already have installed the drivers from Google USB driver folder that comes in Android SDK "extras" folder. However, when I try to start my device into the fastboot mode with cmd, it freezes. I type "**adb reboot bootloader**" to the terminal, as instructed. It seems to be trying to restart my phone, yet it freezes before it can actually start up, stuck on the initial HTC screen. Has anyone ever encountered an issue like this, or may anyone have an idea for a solution to this? I would manually enter bootloader menu and get my phone to fastboot if I could, but holding down the volume down and power buttons (as instructed ) won't help me at all. Pressing volume down and power simultaneously will simply start my device with a regular boot (and I have no means to "deselect Fast boot" - I simply don't have the option in battery settings). I am on Windows 7 laptop and my phone is HTC Desire 516 using Android 4.3.

My phone (HTC One X) can't get internet when connected to my office wifi network. My office's wifi has no problem for me and my workers. By default, my phone uses DHCP mode when connected to local network. However, it adamantly picks the same IP that conflicts with another server in the network. In DHCP mode, I get no internet. I switch my phone to static IP (along with the correct gateway and DNS). Even with a good internal IP address (no conflict, I checked in the router), I still get no access to internet. I used Fing on Android to ping machines within the network successfully, but pinging any domain name at all would fail. I even tried switch DNS on my phone to 8.8.8.8 and it won't work. Pinging any external IP would fail I have no problem connecting to my home wifi (DHCP mode) that has the same router model. I'm out of ideas. Anyone?

I was wondering is spell check on android the same as the iPhone, that is does the word get underlined, because that doesn't to be happening in my case. I have downloaded Swiftkey and Google Keyboard and both still don't have that option, is there anything I can do? I don't want next word/current word prediction!

I downloaded this app called 'Photo Editor' (pink logo with letters 'fx' on it) on my HTC Desire 510, I went to uninstall it, but it won't let me do this. Other apps still let me download it. I have tried doing it in settings, google play store, second home screen menu, in the app itself, and none will let me uninstall it. I can't find the app in the play store, it's as if it's deliberately not letting me uninstall it. It takes up 30MB, which is a pain seeing as though my phone can only hold a small amount of data. I have been researching what to do but no one seems to have the same issue. Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance.

So I turned my brightness all the way down on my HTC Desire C and it just locked itself. Now when I press the lock button it shows me the lock screen for about a second then locks itself!? HELP!!

Friend of mine gave me HTC sensation XL with android 2.3.5 and asked one question: why I can't install any app from market? I understand that device and adroid version are old enough for mid of 2016. But I can not find out what is exact problem. I've tried to clear cache/data/etc of market app and etc hundred times but no luck. Market doesn't say that your device is incompatible or doesn't support anymore, just stucking on download process. Otherwise some "base" apps were updated normally. Also I've tried to download some data directly from browser and it was ok. So, all I want a small message that I own old piece of... hardware.
