Is there one of these images that isnt from the engineering evo? Im trying to get one that wont tell my phone it is an engineering phone, because for some reason my market will not displayed paid apps at all.
Thanks
out of curiosity, why are you running an engineering rom instead of flashing a stock rooted or custom?
Im not running the rom, but its the engineering bootloader. Id like to return the bootloader to the stock one so that it might restore the correct market.

What does the bootloader on the phone have to do with what Market it displays?
Oh, wait... that's right. NOTHING.
If you've put some ROM on it that has a signature not recognized, that's your own lookout.
Hey thanks for being a **** but maybe there is just something you arent aware of. I have flashed about 10 roms, all of them with the problem that the market doesnt have a paid section in it. People have indicated that it might be because for some reason my phone is being displayed as an engineering model, which is why i wanted to return the stock bootloader. My problem is unique, literally nobody has been able to be of any help, and you being an ass doesnt help.
Im no idiot ive been doing this for a while, and it isnt that my specific rom is messed up.

Keep your snide remarks to yourself and respect the other members.
OP: Give this a go and see if the market works again:

Thats actually how i gained my root back. SO TODAY, after running two weeks on the same rom, the market randomly returned, flashed another rom when i got home, and boom there goes the market.
I dont get it.

all of the above. Like i said i just got the market back, so i flashed a new rom after wiping everything and whoop, there go the paid apps.

if i can do command prompts from my pc to my phone will i be able to flash the original software onto here?
Yes you will just adb your phone into recovery and should allow flashing a rom

First off is the stock pc36img.img on your root of your sdcard? If so pull the battery out, put it back in and hold down the power and vol down to boot in the bootloader. you should be fine once it installs you should be back with a stock rom. If you don't have the stock pc35img.img you can get it from here http://www.multiupload.com/U27BZXVWWI.
hope this helps
http://www.multiupload.com/U27BZXVWWI
Download that, rename it PC36IMG, put it on your SD card... reboot phone into recovery(while phone is OFF, press and hold volume down, while pressing the power button), it will load, follow onscreen instructions
Have you tried using an ruu. It should be able to return your phone to stock

These files are made available as a general courtesy and I assume no responsibilty for your own actions.
Thanks, I was just looking for this.. I did an update from eclair to froyo (2.1 - 2.2) and everything was fine until I did a hard reset and lost service and it kept crashing each time I would go into the settings and wireless/APN options. Wouldn't take ATT and TM sim cards.. Going to try flashing the SBF and see if this resolves it.
Edit: aaand, flashed and all fixed.
Great find, nice to have an option in case we screw something up. I wonder if there's any benefit to flashing the 2.2 sbf instead of flashing a clean 2.1 and updating to 2.2...

Ya know what...i'm not really sure how to flash it...or why it would be needed as opposed to a regular bootloader...
Got it flashed. Same way as you flash a rom. Like you tho, I havent a clue why. I also flashed the rom. Did NOT help with freezing, in fact seems worse now. Cant use my phone for more than 3-4 minutes before it freezes. Any idea who Id contact at Motorola to get assistance with this, because this is ridiculous. Thanks for posting this.

Hey check your SD card. My phone wasn't just freezing....it would completely just reboot and stay on the moto screen. I found out that i was my memory card. When I removed it, it worked fine and when I put it back in, it shut down automatically. Found out the problem was the 2nd partition I to use the link2sd...had to change it so that the 2nd partition was set to primary and its been working fine ever since. Not one single freeze or anything.
Dunno if that is going on with you but if it is I hope this helps
How do I set the second partition as primary? I've noticed also when anything gets linked, it goes to the first partition. First partition mem goes down, whereas second stays the same.
Sent from my MB508 using XDA App
I use something called 'EASEUS Partition Master 8.0.1 Home Edition' that I think I downloaded on google (I don't remember) but you can use it to change create and format partitions and you just gotta make sure you set it to 'primary' and not 'logical'. Try to see if you can find it and do it and let me know. If you can't find it let me know and I'll see if I can send you mine. And if you do and you still have trouble, detail to me what is going on and i'll walk you through it. It took me a lil while to figure it out.
So I could use minitool partition as well? That's the one I have. I will try that out. Phone hasn't froze today for a long time, but now that I said that, well you know. Lol I will keep you updated for sure. Thanks.

Found out why the need for the updated bootloader. Froyo does not support the Eclair version of the bootloader, so if you need to flash again, you would not be able to unless you update the bootloader. HTH
I'm honestly kinda a noob at this... never messed with anything like a bootloader. Can somebody explain to me how to do this? I'm wanting to flash back to a clean 2.2 and the post before mine sounds like that might be bad without updating boot loader first.
Also the rom, just install it with RSD?

You will flash the bootloader the same as the froyo rom in RSD. Do the bootloader first. Then flash the froyo rom. Any questions, don't hesitate.

Phone fully on or update mode or what? For both?
USB Debugging on?
Version of RSD need to be up or still using 4.9?
I'm not 100% of this, as I don't have the MB508 as of the moment, but I believe once you flash the stock 2.2 rom or OTA you will loose root.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is just intended for those who want to know info.

When you flash you will need to go into bootloader mode. Power off phone, the use the proper key funtion (sorry don't remember what it is) to start bootloader. Then flash updated bootloader. When flashing via RSD, it doesn't matter about usb debugging because you aren't fully booted into the phone. I used version 4.9 and had no problems flashing both. Good luck.

Yes this is correct. I belive this is the case anytime you flash using RSD. You can gain root again after using the most current version of superoneclick.

Hi
I have a question before sending my HTC back for the wifi repair to HTC.
If I make a nandroid backup of my existing custom rom, then unroot the phone, when I reroot the phone once i get it back, can I simply use the nandroid backup I had made to restore everything once I have re-rooted?
Thanks

Yep, ofcourse you can.
To be honest you need to re-lock your bootloader also.
And hopefully your lucky enough to be one of the people that gets a warranty fix even though your unlocked and rooted.

Hi, yeah thats correct mate.
Easiest way is to flash the correct RUU for you phone. Im sorry but I don't know how to get the correct RUU perhaps someone else could help.
What I do know is that you can never fully "lock" the bootloader again, it will say "Re-Locked" and not "Locked" all you can do is hope they do not check the bootloader.
Hope this helps

Definately, if they boot the phone and see CWM, TWRP, Titanium, SuperSU/SuperUSer they'll know straight away you are rooted.

I needed to send my phone in, but I don't have the sticker on the back, or the box, and there's no way for me to get to the settings on the phone, because the screen stopped working.
Will HTC still be able to service my phone, or is the warranty considered void?

HTC repair is bull**** just for the record. I have 4G Slides on the rest of my lines, ALL of which had to be sent in.
2 of those phones took nearly 45 [FORTY FIVE] days to get back to me. Apparently there was a hold for parts coming in from Taiwan. They wouldn't tell me which parts. They wouldn't even give me an estimate time. HTC didn't apologize or update me on my repair. I found all this out after numerous calls day after day.
But if you thought that was bad service, you'll love this...
The third phone was sent out and came back fairly quickly. Within a week. I was so happy to get my phone back.
Opened the box and GUESS WHAT?
HTC SENT ME THE WRONG PHONE
They sent me a completely different phone for a different carrier (HTC Evo 4G for Sprint). It was very beat up as well.
I swear, if it wasn't for their designs (which I love dearly) I would've dropped the company by now...
Sorry for the rant/threadjack. Thought you guys would like to hear a horror story. I'm done
does anyone know how to remove the super su app and the clockwork recovery? everything else is now back to stock as i did a nandroid back up immediately after rooting initially
thanks

Well not even the latest ota is 100% stable, it even has the 2am bootloop issue. However in my opinion any stock or stock based rom is going to be the most stable. I feel stock 4.06.605.2 rooted with the ota notifications stopped is the stablest you can get. But I'm sure ten other people would have 10 different opinions.
[Q] Radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them. Is this normal? Need help
I just recently purchased the m8. I did lots of research learning everything I could before doing any modding. So today I decided to unlock my boot-loader so it was my first time getting into recovery. But when I get into recovery I see both radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them. Its never been modified and I got it from t mobile and was the first to open the device. Not a second hand phone. Is this normal? I've been googling for hours and cant find any information. Its been sort of difficult getting any help in the htc M8 help threads honestly. If anyone can shed any information I would greatly appreciate it. I haven't noticed any thing wrong with my phone out of the box and everything about the functionality of the phone has been stellar.

I just recently purchased the m8. I did lots of research learning everything I could before doing any modding. So today I decided to unlock my boot-loader so it was my first time getting into recovery. But when I get into recovery I see both radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them. Its never been modified and I got it from t mobile and was the first to open the device. Not a second hand phone. Is this normal? I've been googling for hours and cant find any information. Its been sort of difficult getting any help in the htc M8 help threads honestly. If anyone can shed any information I would greatly appreciate it.

In the bootloader screen it says invalid ver info next to both. I want to know if this is normal on an unmodified device. I dont want to mod my phone with it saying invalid version next to radio and opendsp.

I think something is off on that phone. I unlocked and s-offed mine and the only thing different was the os is blank but everything else was fine.
But if u have no actual problems with cell reception or audio then maybe u just need to update the firmware to latest after u s-off and that Will fix u up. More than likely.
Let me know I have done a lot on my phone allready. I even switched it to a dev edition just to get the 4.4.3 firmware and then flashed my backup back to my Rom of choice.
I'll help if I can. I notice there ain't many people helping on this forum there all on the international forum

I appreciate that. I just didn't want to s-off since I dont do any heavy modding. I was just gonna unlock the boot-loader, install custom recovery root and flash arhd. I don't think this is normal either for a brand new phone that hasn't been touched software wise. I might go exchange it at t mobile. This is my screen

I understand about the s-off but really it's the best thing to do because if something ever goes wrong there will be nothing stopping u from fixing it.
Also I was gonna suggest taking it back but they might trip on the unlocked bootloader and if u fastboot oem lock it Will say relocked. So they will know. But it's worth a try. T-Mobile doesn't seem like they know anything about technical stuff. so if you try to explain to them they might look at you like they don't know what your talking about.
I seen the picture if it is still locked take it back. And show them
Your firmware is allready the latest so that's a factory f-up.

How would they know the bootloader is unlocked at the tmobile store? Would they check on that before exchanging the device?

More than likely. I got charged 50 bucks one time and I couldn't even fight it because they sent it in and my Bill went up I wondered why so I asked and they said because of modifications all they did was exchange it but I still had to pay. Try it or relock it and do the ruu for that firmware. And see if it will take off the tampered flag and fix the ver info

So then u never flashed recovery yet. So u should try to take it back.
If they are tripping just tell them the facts that the software was not properly installed on device.

No apology needed. Thank you for helping me out. I was able to s-off and get everything back to stock. Boot loader locked not "relocked" , s-on, unrooted. But the "invalid version" message was still there. I just came back from the tmobile store and they ran some diagnostics and said there was a problem with the software. They exchanged it for me and I checked it before I left the store and this one is perfect. I even asked for them to run the same diagnostics and everything checked out fine. I'm gonna do even a little more research before modding this one. I'm a little nervous now ..lol....but again thank you!!! I really love the M8. I came from the galaxy note 3 from att and sadly att locks the boot-loader on it. I love the note 3 just not on AT&T. I'm trying to sell my AT&T note 3 to buy a tmo version.

That's great problem solved.
now u know u got a good device.
I love the m8 too. I got mine first day it came out at T-Mobile.
First thing I did was unlock and s-off then recovery and root. Till some roms came out then I went to Bad Seed Customs Rom and that's it.
I've tried a lot of the roms even the new stock with elementalx kernel will last all day.
There's a whole lot u can do but most of the info is in the international forum.
Anyways glad I could help.

Weird bro...now I go into boot loader with this phone and I'm getting the invalid ver message again. I'm still unmodified with bootloader still locked. I haven't even connected the phone to my computer yet.

Lol....I'm gonna keep it. I think it's software related. Nothing wrong functionality wise just like the other one. And I went to a different tmobile store for inventory purposes and lessen the chances of me getting a bad phone. Like I said I checked it at the store it didn't have that message. And they ran diagnostics and it read clean. I'm just gonna flash away lol

Probably not but everybody just gets to unlocking and s-offing so fast they probably don't notice.
It's probably just the ones coming with that firmware out of the box.
When I got mine it had a different version.
