Hey guys.
I have my M8 for about a month or so and love it. Kept the phone in a case + screen protector from day 1 and never dropped it or anything like that.
However, even though I tried to keep it in pristine condition, the camera lenses on the back gathered severe scratches which, even though not noticeable yet in picture quality, I feel that in short time it will.
I have recently purchased camera lens protectors as well, but knowing that the lenses are already scratched makes me not apply the protectors yet.
I have seen on a different thread here that someone got a replacement based on the fact that he had scratched lenses, and I would want to try and do the same.
However, I want to know if there is a way of resetting the phone to a factory state, as I have unlocked the bootloader of my phone, rooted and s-offed it as well.
Is there any way of reverting and making sure I am not refused on this basis?
Thank you in advance!
Search the forum, there are guides and several threads already open.

I did search, but was unable to find any ones related to the m8
This is on General section, not hard to find.

searching for this for over 2 weeks now.
I do not understand a few guides, namely http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235 , however, I do not understand if this guide will work for my CID (H3G_001)?
If not, do I need to look for my specific recovery/firmware to match? Where would I find this?
Why not post a fastboot getvar all output first?

Hi,
well wasn't over here for too long, so am feeling like a total n00b :/. I just noticed orange spot on bottom of screen in left corner, it shows on htc boot screen and everywhere where are white menus. Didn't notice it before. I have my V for few days now. it is definetely not something on glass, but a spot on lcd screen. it's like half centimeter big, not very noticeable, but annoying. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for reply, and I just unlocked bootloader, rooted and flashed custom ROM. oh well, I will try to live with it for next few days, anyway replacement period is over, if I give it to store where I bought it they'll send it to service and I will be without it for at least two weeks. Maybe I get used to it, if it will not get bigger.

I noticed the same exact thing. On the bottom of the screen on both sides.. it almost looks like its burnt
I got the same. But dont really notice it during daily use so decided too not send it in to htc

yeah, kinnda the same. thought it is burnt by oc-ing, but I guess cpu is not there. too lazy to send it to service as it is such fun now with roms, kernels, etc.

It's the same for me, I'll give it to the service center until the most rom-development has been done

Sup guys/gals, this is my first issue with hardware or build quality today I noticed my screen rocks side to side mainly when pressing the top 2 corners of the device I just updated arhd 9.4.0 with st and noticed a price drop on mc3 so I played that for 30min the device become extremely hot then I noticed the screen issue. I would like to hear if you've had this issue and how you got it fixed was it covered under warranty even with bootloader relocked? btw I'm on three UK

Wow am I the only one? The whole screen is moving you can't see it move but can feel it the case seems a lot looser than last night it also seems to have developed the flex issue over night I woke up with my battery temp at 50oC and when I slightly touch the HTC logo top quarter of the screen goes white when it should be black I'm starting too get worried now would really appreciate some advice guys

Return back to stock relock bootloader and take it back and see what that your screen shouldn't move

That is clearly a hardware / manufacturing defect, so they will most probably fix it despite the unlocked bootloader. But like the poster above me said, relock the bootloader and flash the correct RUU before taking it back.
Lol definitely shouldn't move I think gameloft killed my screen as I've never noticed any problem before I'm more worried about three saying I must cover the costs as they've tried several times with my n96, n97, x10i but I stood my ground and got all of these phones for free in one contract at no extra cost I'm guessing it wont be as smooth when they see bootloader relocked

Not without unlock currently. Which, if you were unlocked i would assume you'd have already rooted. Sad to say there isn't anything for those that didn't get the unlock while it was available on day 1.
Not at the moment unfortunately.

and I totally understand. But there are like 8 threads about root, and they all have the same answer right now, and theres even a donations thread and someone who you can pay to s-off your phone.
It's getting a little nuts with these new root threads when the answer is - no, you can't root (well, bootloader unlock) right now. I mean it's literally on the front pages of the forum for this device.

Sorry.

Just torrent the FoxFi app full version. You need to install a certificate which means you have to enable the lockscreen on your phone...but whatevs. Works for me.

The fact that they show up on a screenshot says its not the device itself, so it must be a software issue. Have you checked to see if there's any updates available for your phone?
Hey there thanks for your reaction. And yes I did check it and there were no updates available. I've just contacted the shop and they said I could return the phone, and I could choose another one but I think I will stay for the M9.

I was thinking about it, and it might be some weird defect in the LCD that only shows up under certain color gradients/shading. If the shop has a display M9, you should open up the same screens your phone messes up on theirs, and see if theirs does the same thing.

Just return phone, it is a defective LCD or even worse...a defective Stock Rom, it could be fixed by applying (not really sure) soff and installing any WWE or DEV Edition, but you would be avoiding warranty.
Hi everyone,
There's no option about OEM unlock.
I have an Htc One M9 LTE Verizon
Do you know another solution?
Thanks!
You need the Java card s-off method. There is an epic thread on it in the Verizon M9 forum.

Its ok, i find my self just as dumb sometimes.

Maybe Java card method isn't what you desire....but it does in fact work to completely free the Verizon m9.
Good luck finding any Verizon device which doesn't require some amount of "hassle" to unshackle.

I think you have a bad unit or get horrible reception(I lean more towards bad unit, it happens). I have 3 users with the VZW M9 in Long Island NY and all 3 of them get great battery life. In fact 2 of them are definitely power users and they only rave about it.
Good luck with the G4. It's a nice device to hold you over until the M10 drops!
