Hello,
I have had my HTC One M8 for a while now but I wasn't really happy with the soundquality while playing through my headphones, so I looked for ways to improve it. I found a few methods and finally decided to give it a try. These methods require a root so yesterday I have rooted my phone for the first time. Unfortunately I am experiencing some problems now.
The rooting process went without too much trouble. I used hasoon2000's toolkit and have TWRP version 2.7.0.2 installed as recovery and used it to install the provided SuperSU, which didn't work at first. On the forums I found a newer version and installed that one, updated it and got it to work.
Now this is where I think I messed up: I read somewhere that when rooted, you are able to delete pre-installed apps from the phone. I downloaded SD maid and deleted Kid Mode, Zoe and 7digital. When I deleted Kid Mode I got an error saying it has crashed. I tapped away the error but from this point I couldn't go back to my homescreen anymore because my launcher kept crashing (com.htc.launcher crashed). I rebooted the phone and the launcher worked again, but the phone still seemed to be buggy.
After this I tried to install the snapdragon audio+ (this was my first choice for an equalizer). I downloaded the apk and moved it to the system folder using ES file manager. I installed but when I tried to use it (through settings in google play music app) my phone would crash. I uninstalled it and tried again, but when I tried to move the apk to the system map like before, my phone would crash everytime. I then found out the file I used doesn't work for lollipop so I figured that's what caused the crashes.
My next move was to try and install viper4android. I downloaded it from the Play Store and opened it. It told me it needed an installation of BusyBox so I downloaded that too. But when I opened the BusyBox app and clicked install my phone would crash again. After some searching I found that the HTC One M8 requires BusyBox to be flashed manually so I downloaded the file but when I tried to load it onto my phone I noticed this wasn't possible anymore.
Now when I connect my phone to my PC the PC recognizes it, but when I open the map in Windows Explorer it only shows three maps; .showme, _nero_sync and Ringtones. I know there should be more as they were there before. It also shows my phone's capacity as a total of 10GB (shouldn't this be 16GB?). Also when I try to connect it with Sync Manager it gives me an error everytime I reconnect the phone; Device unavailable. Please reconnect your device [4].
I have tried to reset the phone through settings, wipe with TWRP and fix permissions with TWRP. I also tried reinstalling Sync Manager and the drivers on my PC. What I'm thinking now is I maybe have done something wrong in the ES file explorer that would make the folders unaccessible.
My phone is running stock android 5.0.1 and my PC Windows 7 64-bit.
I hope someone can help me, Thanks.
P.S: Sorry for the long post, I figured I'd give as much info as possible.
@Steef076 First update recovery to the latest one (2.8.6.0)
Second if you go and delete vital or integrated parts of the stock rom you will get a lot of bugs. Third, viper4android requires to write system and you can't write system with the stock kernel, you need an unsecured kernel or unsecure it yourself.
10GB is right since 6 is eaten by android. At this point I would just revert to a backup or install any custom rom around here. Most are close to stock and with no bloatware and come with root. You can even clean them further using a tool called ROM Cleaner. It will most likely solve all your problems
Did the deleted system apps reappear after reboot, or do they remain "uninstalled"? If the system is write protected like TempestZ states, any deleted system apps should reappear after a reboot.
Revert your nandroid to restore the system apps. And you didn't make a nandroid, you really should before making any system modifications for the very reason that it allows you to revert if you run into problems.
Another good practice, is if you don't know what effect deleting a system app will have (such as "safe to delete" lists that can sometimes be found on XDA) you should first freeze the app with Titanium Backup. If freezing doesn't cause any issues, then go ahead and delete. If you do have issues, just unfreeze the app.

No, Windows will never show 16 GB. It only shows "internal storage" partition, or the user accessible portion of the storage. A good chunk is reserved for the OS.
Does what is shown in Windows differ from what is shown in ES if you browse to internal storage?
Thanks for the replies. @TempestZ @redpoint73
First of all I managed to update twrp to 2.8.6.0 using adb/fastboot.
To answer your question @redpoint73 the system apps I had deleted indeed reappeared after reboot. Also I didn't make a nandroid before I deleted the files, as I did not even know this was possible. Now I have made a nandroid of my stock ROM that is working decently, except for the TV app keeps crashing (I'm not opening it) and the connection to the PC is not working properly (not sure if this is ROM based?). I have noticed when the phone is in recovery I CAN see the folders through windows explorer. HTC sync manager still doesn't find it though. I am working on finding a proper stock ROM or maybe flash a custom one to see if that will fix it.
I understand now that the OS is taking up the storage space. The space windows is showing is the same as ES file manager so I guess this is fine.
HTC Sync is a hot mess. It often causes more troubles than it solves.
One thing you can try (to see if it fixes the USB connectivity) is uninstall HTC Sync and all HTC drivers. Than connect the phone. Don't let it install HTC Sync. Go to Windows Device Manager, find the device. Then pick the option to manually select the drivers, and pick the generic "Android MTP device" (or something to that effect) drivers.
This doesn't work for everyone. But it worked for me to be able to "see" the internal storage of my M8 on my home PC (Win 7). Annoyingly, it seems to vary from one PC to another. My work laptop (also Win 7) works fine with HTC Sync.
Steef076 said:
So if I understand correctly, 'version-main' is the same as 'firmware' and 'software number' (found in settings)? If so, my current firmware seems to be 4.19.114.2.
Now, what you're saying is I should do an OTA but this isn't possible because I have a custom recovery right?
Also, when I want to flash stock rom and stock recovery or do a nand don't I need the files that fit my cidnum? How would your file work for me?

If yours already on 4.19.114.2 then no need to do OTA as that the latest.
and my backup will bring back your device back to stock as you first bought it when restore with a full wipe.
Try to solve your problem first, only when you really need the backup then only I will upload ... let me know

Hello, sorry for the late reply.
I have decided to give a custom ROM a try. I now have ARHD 41.0 installed and it seems this took care of my problems. All the maps are showing in windows explorer and HTC sync manager is connecting properly with my phone again. Also no more crashing apps. Your backup would still be of much use for me as I am not sure I want to stick with a custom ROM and therefore would like to have a stock ROM backup.
Thanks in advance.

my phone start crashing after i uninstalled some apps yesterday
now when i reboot my phone it shows those massage:
android.process.media has stopped
mtp application has stopped
internet has stopped
i have tried factory reset, it doent help.
also in the recovery mode i cant mount sd card
now every app that related to the sd card isnt working, like camera and my files
it also crashed immidiately when i hit the storage option in setting, shows setting has stopped
and the notification bar went disappeared too
anyone can help me pls?
This is why you shouldn't delete anything from your device if you do not know what it is....i'm not sure what you removed but those 3 processes that fail to start are the apps that control your media - ringtones, music, notifications, etc, MTP - the transfer protocol which handles mounting your sd card, and obviously your internet browser isn't working. Without knowing exactly what files you deleted the best thing for you to do is reinstall your ROM. Either the stock ROM or whatever ROM you are currently running. You should be ok with just reflashing over top of whats left if you are running a custom ROM without losing any data but the stock ROM flashed by Odin will wipe your device. Since you didn't bother lettinng us know what kind of phone you have i can't point you in the right direction as to what files you should look for. Do yourself a favor....if you are gonna go just deleting whatever gets in your path, make a backup first .

yes, it is a sgh-i747 phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 ...use this guide to flash the stock rooted ROM. Backup any data that you are able to get to as this is going to wipe your phone. If you have an external sd i would take it out, and i suppose if you really needed to get to the internal sd the file manager in TWRP MIGHT access without the use MTP but i am not sure about this.
Hey guys I'm sure many of you noticed that ever since we updated our One X to Jellybean Sense, USB Mass Storage has been changed to MTP format. That issue has been taken cared off here. There was also an Autoplay Menu, showing to install HTC Sync Manager or Open to View Files (which showed a bunch of drivers and stuff...) especially when you uninstall HTC Sync Manager from your PC . Now there's a way to remove that as well.
1. Use Root Explorer and head on over to System/App
2. Mount as r/w from r/o if you haven't
3. Delete HtcSyncManager.apk
4. Reboot and Enjoy
If you have any problems mounting your system afterward, try rebooting your phone and PC. If not, simply reflash your ROM and it should take care of it .
Will update this thread if I find any more issues and workarounds.

You can also simply "Disable" HTCSyncManager from Settings>Apps>All. This was you can easily re-enable when you need it!

Just updated my cid_032 to JB and saw this HTCSyncManager autorun as cdfs at My Computer and start to find way to remove it. Found this thread and because i'm not rooted tryed this soluton , but it didn't work , there is no "HTCSyncManager" app in Settings>Apps>All... there is only HTC Sync app which is very different... maybe it's time to root this iron
p.s: just thinking wheather if I install HTC sync manager on my pc ( i installed just drivers , don't like much soft if it's not needed ) this autorun will disappear from itself ( some kind of checking and stopping automaticaly ) ??? 10x in advance...

Yes, I think it will this is annoying when you get tired of HTCSyncManager and you uninstall it and this autorun keeps pestering you to re-install it . Why haven't you rooted it tho .
Still not able to mount it on my macbook after these steps. Are you sure it makes it mount as a block device again?
I fixed that problem just by removing the drive letter from the corresponding drive. Haven't seen the annoying popup since.
Thanks, removed the system app.
Or go to Settings-->Apps-->all-->HTC Sync then stop and deactivate the app.
And if you later want to reenable it just do the same but with activate and start.
greez
I removed HTCSyncManager.apk, and it helped initially, but the sucker was still popping up in Windows, only now a couple of minutes later after I plugged in the phone. I traced this down to Windows service HTCMonitorService, which I had to stop and disable to completely prevent Sync Manager from popping up. Apparently the purpose of that service is to periodically check for presence of the phone at USB port and start sync in case auto-start didn't do it. That's one more step that you need to do if you want to keep HTC Sync Manager software in Windows (for drivers for example), but prevent it from loading up every time on USB connection.
By the way, none of this is specific to HTC One X. I have One now and before that, One X+. They all suffered from the same problem, so this thread likely applies to most latest HTC phones running Android.
This is now called 'PC Synchronization', not HTCSyncManager.
Hi. I just switched from 1 custom 4.3 rom to a different one and i did a factory reset. However once i rebooted, i noticed that all my internal SD content had gone into 0/0/0/0 etc. i kept clicking but eventually file explorer on widows just froze.
I went into ES file explorer on my phone and saw the content was behind 400 0's!!!!
Anyone have any idea what i could do to recover that info? every time i try copying the files ES explorer either crashes or says that it had copied the files when it hadnt.
Any help would be greatly apreciated. I'm at my wits end... :crying:
Thanks
Bro you need to use a file explorer from recovery. TWRP custom recovery has a built-in file explorer. That should do the trick

Also, you should update your recovery as the more recent versions have fixed that problem. It doesn't happen each time you flash with the new versions.

On Windoz, You could troll and copy out every 10 deep or 20 deep back to surface and then continue. That'd be better than crashing Explorer.
Dos Prompt is more rugged. You could write a batch script there.

I saw that somewhere and tried that. Doesnt seem to be having any effect. Unless im doing it wrong...
I'm plugging my phone into my computer, accessing the phone section when it comes up, going about 20 0s deep and copying it back to the root. It either crashes my windows explorer, or doesnt seem to be doing anything(i think because its already disconnected itself. i tried making a new folder and it wouldn't let). what am i doing wrong?
PS. how would i access my phones internal SD from DOS?
thanks
Try ADB FileExplorer that should not time out on Windows. I have also tried Android File Manager with success. If that does not work, I will look up other options.
Well i tried android file manager. Im not 100% sure exactly how these programs work, but either way its saying i dont have root access. I do and i also have chainfires adbd insecure app which should give me full root access, but its still not working.
I looked at ADB FileExplorer too, but i didnt really get it and it kept saying it couldnt find my phone and something about an incorrect path.
With the Android File Manager, when it accesses the Phone over ADB, it will ask for Root once. If you don't click SuperSU warning in that time, the File Manager will give this error. Please read its thread carefully. I have connected over ADBWIRELESS and this just fine.

It never asked for root on my phone. I've tried all the changes and everything else that people have recommended, but im still not having any luck. I guess im too much of a noob for all this lol :crying:
Try Re-mounting internal SD in Recovery and then connect to PC.
nope, still no luck. Its still saying no root and no supersu request is coming up. I guess im missing something....
EDIT: I seem to somehow be "losing" root every time i try to connect to the android file manager. i open an app that requires root and it says i dont have root. I have to reboot my phone to get root to work again. It's weird though, because SuperSU opens fine...
open the last "zero" folder on your computer, drag everything into a folder on your computer desktop, let everything copy (do something else in the mean time), delete your phone memory, copy everything back to your cleared phone memory card

If only it was that easy. its behind 400 nested folders. Windows cant go that deep. it freezes and FC's after about 200.
Im giving my phone in to get my power button repaired, so i guess ill ask the software tech there if he can figure it out. But thank you Perseus for all your help last night. :good:
I also have this problem guys, how do i update my custom recovery please?
Sorry if this particular incident has already happened to someone else, but I've tried searching for it but haven't had any luck finding the information I needed. I find people with similar problems, but the solution is to do "x" and the problem I have doesn't allow me to do "x" either.
So here's what is wrong with my phone.
I installed cm13 on it about 2 weeks ago, and some updates recently came out (like 3 or 4 days ago) and I decided to install them. After installing those updates I realized my battery was dying super fast, even when my phone is idle for a vast majority of the day. So I decided to reinstall the older version of cm13 that I had saved on my storage. I went into twrp and accidentally deleted everything in my storage and operating system.
This wouldn't be a problem if I my computer would recognize my phone, but it doesnt! So I can't even transfer files from my pc to my phone. Whenever I try to search for a fix, the solution is always the same. "go in to settings and enable developer options". Only problem is, I cant, because I dont have an os.
How can i transfer files onto my phone if my computer wont detect it?

Best way is with sd card , no need for any computer recognition. Copy cm13 to sd card on your computer and put that sd card in your phone. Open twrp , install , external sd ...

sideload the rom to install or copy to the sd card as stated. to side load:
in the recovery mode, enter the ADB sideload menu which for TWRP, you can find it in the advanced → ADB sideload, then copy the zip file you want to install on your device to the ADB folder.
now enter the following command in the command prompt.
adb sideload <filename.zip>
that will sideload the rom to install it note do not unplug the device until the sideload is complete like you would on a normal rom install
And if you can't sideload, that's what's great about removable storage...
So basically i copy tv shows and movies on my phone to watch and i delete them when i'm through, Although after deleting the internal storage still shows the same free space,the same thing is happens with my sd card a,i had to format it to gain back the full capacity. It seems like whatever i copy to my sd card or internal storage it permanently takes up the space and even if i delete in it makes no difference. It happens when i delete the files from a video player,file manger,gallery or any app and also from windows explorer when i connect my phone to my pc.The default android file manger only works properly when deleting files. i tried both factory and hard reset,no luck.
Can anyone please help. I'm on Android 7.0 ,January 2017 security patch.
Should i try a custom rom to fix this? (if its a software issue)
I know you didn't mention it explicitly, but ES File Explorer enables a recycle bin by default. You have to manually disable it, or go to the recycle bin and clear it after deleting files.

Just making sure. I haven't checked to see if ES allows other apps/areas to write to its recycle bin (I disable it every time because it's annoying to delete my files twice after they've already been backed up).
It almost sounds like your phone isn't re-indexing after the data is deleted. If it were me I'd try to repair the file system in TWRP, if that didn't work I'd run a RUU. If you're not unlocked already and don't want to be, run the RUU first.

I don't have twrp,I use stock ,where can I find ruu? And how do I install it? Will any ruu work ? Can I go back to marshmallow?I'm kinda new to this. Update - okay now the free space is showing the right size,maybe it takes time to update when deleting big files especially when deleting them from other places. I would still like to know the answer to my questions about ruu though.thanks.

1. You can find the RUU (ROM Update Utility) files for your device here on XDA or from HTC
2. Install the HTC drivers on your device (again, can be found here or on HTC's website) plug in your phone, enable ADB Debugging (settings > about phone > software > more > keep tapping build number until it unlocks developer options, go back to settings, open developer options, enable ADB Debugging) then run the exe. If you want more detail or have issues go here for an old but still good tutorial.
3. If you're stock only the newest RUU will work, you can't downgrade to MM without going S-Off. Getting S-off will cost you $25 using Sunshine for all versions except Verizon, which you need to mail in if you're on the latest firmware.
RUU will completely reset your device, it'll bring it back to being like new, so anything that's not on your SD card will be erased.

Can you check if your device shows the new storage size right after deleting something big instantly from multiple places?(not from default Android explorer in settings) Is this normal or should I actually download a ruu and flash it to resolve this.Also there are a lot of ruu , especially for u.s,mine is probably European unlocked,how am I suppose to make sure which ruu is right for my device.
That setting doesn't always update immediately. I use ES File Explorer Pro as my SD analyst for showing free space etc. If your phone is working then don't worry about the ruu
