[Q] goomanager

Doe anybody use goomanager to flash rom as it does not require pc to flash the rom. Any successful examples???

Go ahead and use it if you have S-OFF.

Sorry didnot get u.

Without s off you can't write boot partition and for changing roms that is required. That's just how it is.

But man i am telli.g u i did it with venom 3.7

Probably didn't need to change the boot.img for that. I bet when you install CM10.1 like that now you end up in a bootloop !

If you're using a sense Rom, the stock boot.img will make it boot though you wouldn't get any of the tweaks.

I know its like TT said, a boot.img can not be flashed from inside the running OS or via an app on the phone .... It must be done in fastboot. Its impossible unless you have s-off.
Like i stated, try another rom completely different and you will see it does not work.

(Q) SuperCid

Hello everyone about couple of days I was having issues with my boths cameras on the device I took it to the store I bought it from and they fixed it and also update my device software version after that I noticed that now im S-OFF no S-ON that I was before and my cid also changed from HTC_044 (Asia) to CID-11111111 (supercid I think) and my hboot also changed from 1.36 to 1.39 I also noticed I get faster updates than the cid HTC_044 im know on 3.20.401.1 what does it mean ? that I get every update from every cid or faster updates ? or something else ?
thanks in advance

lucky one yes you can flash roms without needing a pc u dont need to Repack and a lot more ;D

i see that you are getting help but if you want to keep the superCID do not flash any RUU, that will remove it...

By "gone" I think he means that he uses a RUU and loses the SuperCID, how will he get it back.

he can't... once you flash the RUU your phone becomes normal as pretty much every One on this forum... you'll only be able to go back to superCID only if we discover a way to S-OFF

Maybe you can find some more useful info here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222115

but Im S-OFF so I will lose the supercid if I flash RUU ?
and I read that I dont have too unlock bootloader if I S-OFF is that true ?

Yes you need to unlock the bootloader before you can flash !
Edit :
You won't loose s-off by unlocking the bootloader. The possibility is there when you install a ruu.....

so how exactly S-OFF help me here ? XD
thatp pretty weird before i take my HOX to fix it was on Relock cause I opened the bootloader then relock to use waranty and now it says LOCKED no RELOCKED how is this possible ?
and how the technican made my device S-OFF and SUEPRCID 1111111 ?

That's something i don't know exactly, they probably have HTC certified methods of unlocking and relocking to fix certain locked partitions of the phone.

ok so if I want to flash rom I dont need to flash the kernel (boot.img) because I S-OFF Right ?
and if I want to go back to stock I can't flash RUU file because it will change my Super Cid to regular Cid ?

Lets assume that to be safe. Always do it via a firmware flash or a stock nandroid backup. Just to be safe.
And yes you don't need to flash the boot.img manually. But as additional info :
A lot of devs have taken out the script that flashes the boot.img when installing the rom. So with a lot of roms you still have to flash the boot.img with fastboot commands.

and one more question super cid devices (non rooted or bootloader unlocked) get OTA updates faster then other cids ?
and if I go back to stock via RUU it wont change my device to S-ON right ? and there's anyway to bring the Super cid back ?

Was it possible to change CID just to become unbranded?

Not sure have this being ask before. So,I have bought a Hk version of m8 HTC_622. Was thinking of changing from CID HTC_622 to HTC_044 (my country ) or 001(WWE). Was this process possible? How do I know my m8 is branded? I have downloaded the CID getter from Google play store. Which show HTC_622. My phone does come with some bloat wear like Tvb. But it can be removed or disabled. Any idea guys? Thanks in advance.

You need to s-off your device then you can change the cid, you need either firewater for that and if it doesn't work you have to use sunshine which costs around 25$ but it will s-off your device for sure...but why changing cid? Shouldn't be that cid a WWE one? Or amercian one? Also if you change the cid to one of the you want you need to install a stock WWE/Europe Rom

I'm aware of the s off thing, so basically what I need to do is s off, then change CID. Then install the firmware of my choice ? Btw,Do I need custom recovery for flashing some mod over like the Harman kardon mode? After flashing it , I need to flash back to stock recovery just to get ota updates not?

If you flash mods like h/k you might won't be able to get or flash official ota because system files will be changed! And yes for mods you need custom recoveries

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

For changing cid you just need s-off , to get s-off you need root your device, but maybe the newest build of sunshine apk will temp root it. But your device Is a Sprint one right? Because h/k phones are only in US from Sprint. So normally you need to go to one m8 Sprint forum for s-off and all other things because I think if you just change your cid to wwe user Europe one you won't be able to get ota as your stock Rom is a Sprint one but you need then wwe or Europe Rom...

Ah yes your phone Is Hong Kong one xD sorry so yea you can just download and flash it but if you take the one which is with based on 2.22.401.4 flash the firmware !!! That's really important...Also in general section you can find a tutorial how to removed the tampered flag and also there is a firmware which removes the red text while booting etc

Always if you wipe dalvik cache it will rebuild it, and you need deodexed one, but if you flash h/k you still receive but can't flash newer ota due to changed system files

Sunshine works with ViperOne. It did for me. And it worked for all the devs when they started the M9 ROM. If it doesn't, use MaximusHD. I know that one works with Sunshine for sure.

Okay thanks I'll try it I got this phone very recently so I'm fairly I'm new with HTC ROMs. I miss some features of the stock ROM such as sense user interface after getting CyanogenMod. It was much more user friendly. I will definitely try viper and maximus. But first I need to turn s off and get rid of this annoying red text everytime I boot up.

Sunshine is the only working method for s-off on the M8. You're wasting your time and energy on anything else. Firewater hasn't worked since it stopped being supported by the dev in Dec. 2014.

S-off by itself doesn't get rid of the red text. You need to flash a modified hboot to do that.

Exactly hat does the S-bit control?
I have searched a lot and find lots of chatter about the S-bit, bit no exact list of what its state allows or denies. Please point me to a clear definition. Thanks
