1. how can I get rid of the update notification?
a) You have to root it (check my signature link);
b) Use "Titanium Backup" to remove the Software Update, which is the "syncmldm.apk".
2. can i update and then fix the Hebrew again?
I'm sorry, but what do you mean?

Thanks
I think that the guys in the store installed some fix (without rooting) on the phone, so the Hebrew support will be more advanced (align text to the right and so on).

Mmm... I see...
Check what apk they installed in "managing applications" then back it up with Astro File Manager...

[Q] Automatically downloading wrong Updatefile (maybe due to market access?!)

Hello Members,
Maybe someone can help me:
2 Months ago i installed Market Access because I wanted to use Google Wallet (not available in germany).
If i search for Android Updates (now using 4.0.3) the phone says yes there is a update but if i download the updatefile and try to install, phone says "wrong update file, installation aborted".
Could it be that Market Access also affects which Updatefiles are downloaded???
If yes, is there any possibilty to switch back to normal?
I already deleted Market Access, but the problem still exists...
Thanks in advance!
Daniel
Before you removed market enabler, did you switch back to your region?

[Q] Keep change language after reboot

Before today, I never encounter with this issues.
All sudden, every time when I reboot the phone, it is always change the default language.
I set the default setting as English but when I reboot the phone it is changing into French.
I have tried re-root the device. Still have a problem.
I have tried to removed the sdcard, it worked okay but after I put original sd card, the problem reoccurred.
I have tried to removed French from the selection of the languages and still have a problem.
What should I tried to get rid of these problem.
My phone is just stock-rooted device, and I have the wind mobile version.
I have also this problem, it started yesterday ! will factory reset fix it?
yes me too. happened yesterday while i was browsing the play store then my phone ran out of juice and when i restarted its on french language. i set it to English but when i restart again it still reverts to french language. please help guys.
It seems that these problems they all appear from yesterday.
And only on samsung phones?
Maybe samsung or goolge has done something?
Yeah maybe, hope they'll fix it soon !
Sound like I am not the only one that having the problem.
Is this occurred in all of the samsung galaxy s3 touchwiz rom? Or just specific touchwiz room? (I am using root66 rom to root it).

Same to me. SGS3 changes language from Russian to default German after every reboot. Just usual I9300XXEMG4 with root.
Upd. Have just tried to switch Google voice typing in Keyboards from Automatic to my language and it worked for me - no language changes after 2 rebots. But again after the 3rd. So i agree with the idea about SuperSu.
hey guys, I think I know what caused our problem. I believe all of us here have SUPERSU installed? this was caused by the SUPERSU update recently. during browsing the play store this was the only app I updated. so uninstalled it and it fixed the problem. no more French or Russian language during reboot! I'll just wait for a fix on the SUPERSU on the next update and install it again if they fixed it. hope this helps!
This happened to me on my Note II 7105 so I and I used SuperSU too. At least I know it's not only me.

Yeah I think you're right abt superuser thing, cause all of us are rooted and have supersu . Rooted note 2, stock rom (4.1.2)
Yes, disable switch Google voice typing in Keyboards or downgrade supersu will solve this problem temporary.
After seeing android process through supersu, the problem will reoccurred again.
So I guess, any Samsung rom that have supersu and 4.1.2 have the problem.
Will using alternative supersu root app or put other rom other than Samsung 4.1.2 will solve the problem?
Fixed the problem.
I just removed SUPERSU completely. Replaced it with "SUPERUSER".

[Q] Cannot download Apps

Hi friends
at this first, i need to say that my English is not good, cause its not my first or even second language XD
So ... sorry for my bad English.
I bought this phone yesterday (i9190)(4.2.2)
everything is ok, but i have a problem.
i cant download any apps on blackmarth, apptoide or our Official market "Baazar" and I have this limit to Galaxy apps and google play market. For reasons, our country cannot access Google play market, so i only have "Galaxy Apps" market for download apps. and i think you know that Galaxy apps does not contain all apps we need.
Ohh... i forget that to say i rooted phone and freezed (!!?) knox apps and its staffs.
and one other thing... that i can install apps manually from phone's file manager or ES or etc... (I 've been a nexus user, and know that should check "Unknown source" in security settings.)
it says "Failed to download [app]" on notification bar before start download
or throw error: " Parse error There was a problem while parsing the package. " after finishing download.
i think its a security option that Samsung put on his Roms.
now i want to know , is there any way to disable this ..... security option .. and download/install apps freely? (At least from our official market!)
i dont want to flash CM based roms or MIUI.
again, sorry for my bad English.
any idea?

[Q] The exact same OTA Updates constantly coming to my device?

I have literally said yes to updating every time it pops up. I know it's the same, because it's the same size every time (293.3 MB). Not to mention I've said "accept" every time, installed, reboots my device, then couple days later it tells me to do it again. Another thing to note are the same 3 systems apps asking to be updated (Voice Mate Speech Pack, Voice Mate, Voice Mate Engine).
Text from the update:
This update will ensure your device is working at optimal performance with the Sprint Network. The update will require that your phone is rebooted and it will not be available for emergency calls while installing the software.
My LG G3 is the Sprint variant (ls990), rooted via Stump Root and on the stock android. I have used G3 TweaksBox, as well as installed Xposed.
PM me for a link to the screenshots.
Anyone with an answer? Google only refers to Lollipop updates that are still not here anyways

You know OTA`s will only be installed when a device is unrooted and doesn`t have any system modifications. Either disable OTA notifications or flash a stock rom and have root removed or flash a custom recovery and rom.

htc one e9+ Root

Im trying to root the HTC E9+ (phone wad bought in China) to install the google apps
i unlocked the bootloader
but cant flash or even boot into recovery as no versions of twrp or cwm are available yet
Any idea where i can get it or is there any other way to install su bin ? odin ? thx
I've got the same problem...
I've got the same issue as the OP. Some more background... I got this phone (HTC E9+, aka e9pw) a few days ago in Hong Kong. Had read about the hardware and was very excited to get a new phone. Powered up OK in the shop, made calls, browsed internet etc.
I got back home and suddenly noticed that not all was as it seems. The app store icon didn't link to the Google Play Store, but some HTC Chinese only app store. Chrome wouldn't install. Lots of the google stuff is stripped out.
The problem seems to be the Chinasense UI. It is not a full Android UI, but something very stripped back. There are none of the standard google apps and things like Chrome and Google Play Services refuse to install. These limitations make this smartphone a very dumb phone.
I hope that this is just a short term issue that HTC hasn't integrated the new MediaTec chipset yet and that soon the full Sense UI will be available, until then, any help would be appreciated with rooting this thing and getting a decent phone...
If you still don't know - all google products in China forbidden!!! It never come back. Just find way how to load international version.
Hello,
I live in France and i received the Htc one e9+ this morning. I come from GN4 and i had HTC one M8 before.
Like you i'm trying to install gapps but not everything goes well.
I would like to ask you if you are as desapointed i am ?
-The phone feels really cheap
-The boomsound sounds far from HTC one m 8 quality, do you think the same ?
Xavier
@ Mozart360, from where you got e9+.
Because, this phone is only for Chinese market.
@ Arvic, I took it on ebay.com. I really thought it would be a fantastic phone.
e9+ India version seems to have all the google stuff
Personally I like the look and feel of the hardware. It is just the Chinasense UI which is disappointing. I've noticed in some of the videos for the e9+ release in India that the google apps are there. There is hope yet for this phone...
Then we must find way how to root it. I guess here in xda someone share idea how to do it...

Hi, if you just want to get all the google services, you can download an app from the HTC market named GMS which you can search it, and then you can download all the google services through this GMS app, which the data is about 180+MB. After downloading, it requires a reboot and get into stock recovery to update some package into system to get all the services running. With all this progress, you can use google services as a normal android cellphone.
But about the China SenseUI, without root, nothing can be modified. There are three switches in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml to turn on or off the China SenseUI function. As a result, without root permission, this default.xml file could not be modified, as least I have not worked out a way to modify it. So China SenseUI couldn't not be turned off. I don't know how to operate with stock recovery to modify system partition, or whether the stock recovery get the rights to modify /system partition.
ALL THE ABOVE shares to the one who is using HTC E9+ outside China.

And another thing attached, the app name is GMS安装器 in chinese, but no English name. Its icon is a green android robot with some google icons in the body of the robot. Don't get the wrong app. The app itself is only 0.05MB.
And it's very sad that the HTC Market doesn't have an English language. Try to recognize the chinese characters as I told above.
GSM works!
It works! I downloaded and installed GSM and now I have all the Google Apps. I'm pretty sure this phone now has everything I need. The process is all in Chinese so I'll give you a run down of what I did. Hopefully I can remember it all.
Go to the HTC app store and find GSM. Icon of a little green Android guy with some icons inside him. Download and install. GSM will then start to download all the apps which took me an hour or so. There is a notification with a progress bar so you know it is going ok. After the download there is a message which asks you to make sure the SD card is removed. Accept all the pop ups. Restart and hold down the volume button which goes to recovery mode. It will crunch away with some installation. When it finally boots up, all the Google stuff is there.
Thank you CPStar.

E9+
hey guys... i hav an e9+ but taiwan stock ... so evrythn is english and no xtra chinese apps ... if ne1 wants i will try to make a system dump for u guys.. but i guess GMS solves the issue for evry1.
So what are the opinions of the few that own the E9+? Pros/Cons? Battery life? Gaming performance?
I am considering this phone because IMO 5.5 inch screen is the sweet spot.

Yes, it works! Thanks @cpstar !
Only steps are different....
After downloading file via GSM, phone must switch off, then switch on by holding power botton and volume down, then must choose "reboot to bootloader mode", then reboot in recobery mode.....
But when you press "reboot in recovery mode" - actualy nothing happens.
I just swithced off phone by long hold power botton. Then switchen on and in booting time started install 27 app.
After, I tried via HTC help to check phone updates. And downloaded update, but following window it ask to "install now", after "OK" phone just two times restart and nothing happen!
After restar - again popup msg about update.
How to solve this problem?

Battery life ~ 9 hours. By using WeChat all the day, taking photos, Using Web browser. By using 4G network. If using WIFI, will be longer time ~ 12h.
Except Chinese app - I'm satisfied.
So how do we root HTC E9+ ???
Hi guys,
I've been following this thread and am planning to buy an HTC One E9+. Can Frama-root / RootGenius / Kingo Root do the job? I plan to buy it once there's a verified way on rooting the E9+ phone AND add Google apps. I understand Google apps can be added using the GMS安装器 application. So the only question now is: How do we root this phone? Tried Google and Baidu, seems nothing clear yet on how to do it. Thoughts? Please share Android experts! Thank you!

Hello
Thanks for the guide but just wondering if anyone knows where we can get the stock recovery from to do the OTA updates? Or is anyone doing updates differently rather than OTA?
Thanks

Hello
Im also buy HTC one M9+ , use GMS安装器 intsall all google apk but cant change blinkfeed chinese version international and sanse cant change chinese version .
HTC one M9+ have any international version offical room or not ?
I can witness that the above rooting process is working perfect for my E9+ (HK) version.
So should i get it?
So guys im thinking about getting this phone and now i know it has root and if i am correct it can function as a normal android smartphone but i do have 2 questions I'd love to be answered. 1 can you install google play and download apps from it? And 2) what roms work on it (if any)?
I bought this phone in Dubai and it has Play Store and Chinese senseUI stuff. My question is, after doing the above rooting process, will it be possible to update or no ?. There is an update available, I haven't rooted and haven't updated yet
I have the dual sim version. Does this method work with it ?
