Wifi turns on slow - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
last week i've bought an HTC One M8 with a software issue. i've managed to get it working with you guys but i've got a problem, not a big one but an annoying one.
The wifi turns on slow, the menu for the wifi after i press the on button is being shown after 20 seconds. is there something i can do? i'm stock on 5.0.1, have VODAP001 cid and i'm S-on.
thanks.

There's one thing that you may not do it yet.
Is your device still have stock recovery installed ?
Boot to hboot and select recovery
When you see the phone with red triangle, press & hold volume up and press power once.
Select factory reset/wipe data (use volume rocker to navigate and press power once to select)
This usually will fix all this kind of problem.

i understand.. should've done that when it was clean ) now it's full of app, photos, sms..

how long should it stay when i do a factory reset.. because i selected it and the screen is locked on the htc logo for ages now :|
That's to long . I think its a warranty case
Any chance that your battery level is too low ?
RMA
Looks llike a hardware problem.Go to the service center and get it repaired
Just selsct "Hboot" with volume keys & Press Power key on "hboot"
then you are on previous screen of hboot menu located 1. Fastboot 2. Recovery, 3. Factory Reset etc etc Selst 3 option by Volume keys & press power key. It will reset your phone to factory defaults ( you will loss all our Data).
Please do on your own Responsibilty, I am not responsible for any damage.

[Q] Can i do a factory reset with a dead screen?

My wifes wildfire s has a dead screen. its now out of warranty and it will be sold on ebay. Problem is i would like to factory reset it and dont know the key sequence for this particular phone. I have checked out other posts but there is no guarantee that they have the same sequence as the wildfire. I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Do you have ClockworkMod installed or is it the Default Recovery?
If its clockwork, then read on...
1. Power+Volume Down
2. Wait about a minute for HBOOT to do its thing.
3. Key DOWN. Press POWER
4. Wait a few secs
5. Volume Down x2 then POWER
6. Then Volume Down x7 then finally Power.
That is a factory Reset.

You can also perform a factory reset straight from hboot, just boot your phone to bootloader ( pull out battery, insert it back in, hold vol down and press power button ). Now when you are ( hopefully ) in bootloader, all you have to do is wait 30 sec ( it will check sdcard for possible files to flash ), and then press volume down 3 times, then just hit power button. It should reboot once to standard recovery ( to perform a wipe ) and once again to system, you should be able to hear startup sound if everything went OK.
Thanks, I gave it a go. No way to be sure really so I'll just cross my fingers!

[Q] Nexus 7 4.4.2 update error *Help Needed*

I'm trying to up date my parents Nexus 7 to 4.4.2 but it refuses to install.
The device advises that the update is available. It downloads without any issues. The device reboots and starts the install process. It reaches around 20% and displays "ERROR" with the android logo lying flat with an exclamation mark.
The device is brand new and has not been rooted etc. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

When you see the android with exclamation mark hold down the power button and while you are holding the power button down press and release the volume up button. You are now in stock recovery. Use the volume button to highlight "wipe cache partition", press power button to select. Once that is done select reboot. Maybe wiping the cache well have helped. Try the update again. If that doesn't work, you have two choices that I can think of. Try a factory reset or adb sideload the update, for adb sideload you need a computer with adb setup on it. If it was rooted with a custom recovery there would be other options. Good luck!
To get to stock recovery... with the tablet off, hold down the power button and while you continue to hold it down press the volume down button until it boots into the bootloader screen. Use the volume button to select "Recovery mode" then press power button. Now you will see the android with exclamation mark again. Hold down the power button and while you are holding the power button down press and release the volume up button. You are now in stock recovery.

Hi, thanks for replying.
I have tried this to no avail. I do however have further information regarding this error. When I press the power button and up I can see that it says "/system/lib/libchromeview.so" has unexpected contents. Does this mean that the software is not suitable for this particular device.
This all seems very strange as it's a brand new device and I'm getting the software from google directly?

The OTA will check the "System" to see if anything has changed, if it thinks anything has changed then it will fail. The update should absolutely work for your device. If a factory reset doesn't give you the ability to do the update, and I have my doubts, return/exchange it. Don't wait too long! Otherwise you need to use adb and at the very least, flash the system image to fix the problem. I personally can't think of any other options that you have. I don't know for sure but maybe there was an app that changed "/system/lib/libchromeview.so." Maybe the Chrome Browser or Chrome Beta. Try and uninstall the Chrome updates and/or Chrome Beta if it is installed. Settings/Apps/All.

No problem!
There's no need to exchange for what's a relatively simple software fix. If you search the forums, you'll find easy-to-follow instructions for unlocking the bootloader, then flashing the stock recovery and latest ROM.
I no longer trust Google's OTA update process anyway. Flashing the full stock ROM ensures you'll start with a perfectly clean slate.

[Q] I am at the bootloader and my power button won't let me select

I took my phone in for a cracked screen and when I got it home I found out the volume up was not working. So I booted into recovery thinking I could check in recovery to see if it was a software or hardware issue, but the volume up did not work there. So I rebooted and now my GPE edition rom is stuck at the spinning dots. When I go back to the bootloader I cannot select recovery. My volume down button make the selection go up, my volume up button does not work and for some reason even though I can reboot with the power button, I cannot select with it. Is there any other tricks to wipe and reinstall?
ADB does not return a device list.

I had the exact same problem, but opposite. Vol down didn't work. Bootloader problems were the same.
Your issue is that you vol up is stuck.
The way i fixed it was to pull off the volume rocker and put it back on my own. I DO NOT suggest you do this.
When you took it for repairs, the reassembled it incorrectly. Take it back and have them fix it.

Htc desire 526g stuck in boot loop

Hi guys, months ago i rooted my HTC 526G with Kingoroot. I later tried to update the software over wifi. It updated but in restarting its now stuck in boot screen and sometimes goes into recovery by itself. Is there a way I can revive the firmware? Any help appreciated
HTC Desire 526G
I have problem like this ....cant fix it
Warning/Disclaimer: This will erase everything you have on the phones internal memory. (if you have play store set up right, you can just log back in afterwards and it will pull all your data/apps back, however if you don't, make sure to backup any contacts, data, ect that may be on the phones storage before attempting this) (then again, if you were already trying to root, you should have had everything backed up already anyway )
Charge the device to at least 50% (or an hour or two at least if the battery was completely dead)
Hold the Volume Down Button, Press power button, keep holding the volume down button
Phone should boot into HBOOT or Download mode,
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Recovery Mode
press power button to select Recovery Mode
Phone will reboot with a red triangle icon, press all three buttons at the SAME time (vol up, vol down, power)
use the volume up and down buttons to highlight Clear Data (Factory Reset) press power button to select, let it finish clearing /data/ and /cache/
Once this has completed, Pull the battery out, let it sit for like 30 seconds without the battery
Put battery back in
hold power button for a while until it vibrates, release power button
let it sit at the htc boot screen for 10 minutes phone should eventually move to the verizon boot screen (if it goes over 10 minutes on the htc screen, try procedure again)
Post here if you have any trouble.

i've done the procedure but unluckly i'm still having this problem, did someone fix the loop with this method? should i just wait for custom roms? :crying:
I had it happen to me after trying to root with just about every tool out there, mine would boot up but wouldn't go past the htc boot screen white background green htc. After I cleared the data a few times (at least 3) it came back up, try the procedure more than once. Also be patient and wait the full 10 minutes for it to come back up, sometimes it can be slow to load for the first time after this kind of wipe.

Try to root with "PhilZ Recovery by Ajit", search on google, i don't remember where i have download it, but it is an .exe file.
After you install it on your computer, you select USB debugging, and connect your phone to the computer, the rest of the process is auto.
After the installation process, the phone will autoreboot in recovery, here you will select ---> Advanced Function---> RE-root System (SuperSU).
After that, reboot, and install SuperSU from GooglePlay.
Success.
Root without boot loop (you may want to wipe Dalvid Cache before reboot after selecting root).
I hope this works for you ( it worked for me HTC desire 526g ).
Have a nice day.
IF you dont find the Philz, contact me, i wil send it to you.
Philz Recovery by ajit is designed for devices using the Mediatek processor; Sadly our 526 (no g, no +) uses a qualcomm processor. I do not recommend anyone to attempt to use "Philz recovery by Ajit" to attempt to root their HTC 526 as at best it will fail and at worse it will flash a non-compatible recovery and turn your device into a hard-brick.

My phone was also rooted using kingroot. I received an OTA update and I downloaded it. Once the download was complete, the phone restarted and got bootlooped. Occasionally, it goes into recovery. I tried factory resetting it several times as mentioned in the solution. But each time I turn the phone ON again after factory reset, it is looping. Its not stuck at the boot logo. Instead it reboots automatically and in some cases to recovery. So the wait-for-10-mins thing is not working for me.
1. I received a stock ROM from the Russian section of XDA. Will flashing that ROM using the stock recovery using "install update from SD card" help me recover my phone from bootloop?
2. Will flashing the stock ROM unroot the phone? Presently, even after the factory resetting, "check the software partition" option in recovery returns a message "error - system has root". So I was hoping that unroofing might fix the problem. Will it?
3. If the above method fails, is there any other method? Like flashing a custom recovery or flashing a custom ROM etc?
Please help me fix the phone. Thanks in advance.
I am experiencing the same problem and have tried everything to avail, will this devise ever work again its still stuck with a white screen and green HTC

Hey negomo. I just fixed the phone yesterday. It seems that installing an OTA update while the phone is rooted can result in a bootloop or bricking(as in my case). I fixed this issue by flashing a stock ROM of the HTC 526g which I got from another Russian forum in XDA. Anyway I am posting the link of that stock ROM here.
( I am not allowed to post link. So please delete the spaces to get the actual link)
h t t p s :// yadi.sk/ d/gNKBahgZiwGmo
Once you download it do the following procedure
1. Copy it to an SD card and insert the card in your phone.
2. Press power button+volume up key button to enter HBOOT menu (while turning on the phone, press power and vol up button instead of power button alone)
3. Choose recovery option and press volume down to enter
4. Press power button once to enter recovery
5. Choose "install update from SD card"
6. Wait till it finishes installation
7. Wipe cache
8. Reboot phone
PS: I had already done a factory reset from recovery menu. I don't know if that had helped.
This will bring your phone back to life. Give around 10 mins for the first boot.
I hope I was able to help you.
Hit thanks if I did.
