Random factory reset?! [Solved] - Verizon HTC One (M8)

My jaw is on the floor, i have no idea how this happened. I work IT for a living, i love everything technical and electrical, programing and troubleshooting but i can't even begin to understand what just happened...
Sitting at my desk with my phone in my pocket and at about 15% battery life, i feel a short vibrate, then another and another. I look at my phone and its asking me all the first time setup questions... i skip through and all i see is a bunch of nothing except what's stock on the phone.
I've unlocked/rooted/flashed every stupid rom or hack i could find on every phone i've ever owned but ive NEVER done anything to this phone and ive never had anything like this happen... the last thing i was doing on the phone was making a call... before that i read my texts and before that i was using twitter...
Same software version as before, no strange behavior (aside from the obvious)...
any ideas?
Edit: Whatever happened it formated my SD card, i didn't even think that was possible.
Edit2: Well, that last discovery helped me figure it out.... Pattern unlock (to many tries wipes data).... FML, what a retarded feature to force someone into...

I feel your pain. Happened to me on day 1 of my 1 week trip to Germany so I didn't have access to any of my backups.

Yep, i figured this was perfect timing to unlock seeing as i had to reload my stuff anyway... just got done with sunshine (no firewater for me ), CWM recovery and GPE rom..
i didn't want to spend the $25 a couple months ago when i got the phone but now i'm literally shrieking like a school girl with all the cool things i'm doing/finding...

Between fixing this and the SD card permissions fix you have two perfectly valid reasons to root ☺

[Q] Please Help! Where do I start?

I'm very new to this whole root thing. I just got my SCH - I500 like 2 weeks ago.
I have figured out how to root my phone getting SU intact, but I don't know what Im suppose to do from there.
I tried getting CwM to work, but I have failed to figure out how to do it. I spent around 3-5 hours just reading forums trying out new things.
And, do you need a recovery? Cause I seem to have a problem getting it to work. What do you need to do once you've rooted your phone? What are the potential possibilities I can do with a rooted phone? What do you do once your phone is rooted and recovered properly? There's just so much I dont know.
I just need a little guiding as to how to begin. I'm a fast learner, I'm just looking for a little bit of guidance, that's all.

cant say it much easier than that. This is for Mes though and you did not specify.
Thanks! I'll take a look through this.
And yeah I meant for my Mes.
Sooo I tried using the .tar file and then i finally just was like idk wtf im doing anymore I quit...
I went to factory reset my phone and now im stuck at the SAMSUNG loading screen and it was making robot commands through the speaker and now it wont do anything.
how do i just fix my phone back to normal
i learned my lesson and am no longer ever going to try this ****
Robot sounds. Was it a lady voice. dui you have a voodoo kernal on your phone? What have you all done to your phone? Did you try pulling battery and restarting? Some things you do can take up to 20 minutes on reboot.

I started with the base model and then went through step six. I got the .tar file onto my phone and then I didn't know if I had done it correctly so I factory reset my phone.
And yes it was some droid sounding lady. I almost thought it was my computer for a second cause I was sitting at my desktop haha. Kinda freaked me out.
And no I dont even know what voodoo is and I hardly know what a kernel is.. :-/ I really should of done my research before I started doing this stuff.
As long as your reset all is good. It does take some time to learn everything. It helps to read through all pages of posts as well not just first one. Just read read read and read again. : D

Haha yeah I'll remember that for the next time. I did a little reading, but I started getting really impatient with the recovery **** aka CwM or whatever. Thats when I just started trying ****. I had no problem with rooting the phone and I even figured out how to use some AndroidSDK/tools commands or some **** like that lol idk how to explain it. Any place you would recommend me to go just read endless hours about stuff?

The .tar is never meant to be on your phone - it's installed via ODIN (which runs on a PC) And yes it's best to do a lot of reading before even ATTEMPTING any of it - so that you don't get stuck in a situation like you are . If you need one on one help, come join us in the IRC chat.

[Q] Issue with I9003 - Pseudo Factory Reset

Hi forum!!
I've been a happy Samsung Galaxy I9003 owner for a while now, and I've always come to this forum for reference on any issues encountered. But right now I have an issue i'm having a hard time understanding, and it's quite a mistery.
Everything started when I downloaded the new Gingerbread update. The phone was wonderful, worked perfectly, but it had one little issue. I left it one night, and the morning after when i picked it up i saw that it was prompting for the initial data (language, use 3G-Wifi, etc). I completed the form once more, and it was back to factory...but in a weird way. Contacts were gone, SMS were gone, APNs were gone, WiFis were gone...but my apps were still there! They were even ordered alphabetically in the menu! Weird, really weird...Background was back to the factory one, icons on the main desktop were back to factory ones, ringtones were back to factory ones. But all my app configurations were still there, emails, gmail, market, corporate email...it was all there.
I discarded this as an issue with the Gingerbread ROM i installed (from Kkrraazzyy's post, the last one), so I downgraded to Froyo once more. Now, why would I ever want to do that?
Idiot me did not look into what version I was running. So I tried the version i remembered I had installed. Worked nice, installed nice...but....next morning...SAME ISSUE! Once more the initial configuration and the same thing...no APNs, no SMS, no Contacts, no nothing, but apps and configs, purrfect!
Now, what I did was move to other Froyo images thinking that I might have gotten the wrong one. I discarded 4 or 5 of them, with different things not working on my phone exactly.
So, after a bit of debating with myself, I decided to upgrade to another GB, but not the final version, a previous one. When i connected it to Samsung Kies, to restore my backup, Kies greeted me with a "I've got a new firmware for your phone...do you wish to upgrade?". I thought "Why not? Maybe if the Samsung software is performing the upgrade, then it might work, considering that i wouldn't be intervening and possibly not interfering with it. So it upgraded, took a considerable amount of time in comparison to ODIN, but it went through.
How did it go? Smooth as silk...everything was wonderful! Apps worked, hardware worked, phone run well...backup went in perfectly...i was so happy! Last night I was watching a movie with it, it was great! So i went to sleep with a happy smile on my muzzle, only to wake up this morning and find the phone with....THE FRIGGIN' START FORM ONCE MORE!! FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
Once more, no APNs, no SMS, no Contacts, no WiFi, no nothing!!! Back to factory partially!
So now i'm thinking...firmware is out of the question...is there any chance there might be something physically wrong with my phone by now?? Something like...I don't know...I haven't got the slightest idea. So i'm open to ideas about what this might be about..
Oh, a colorful note...don't know if it has something to do, but i consider it sporty to let you know about it. A weird thing about a Froyo version i installed, was that when you woke up the phone, it would show a red sign on the top saying "Internal SD memory removed". I was truly shocked since I thought that the internal memory could not be removed without the phone crashing. But well, i just discarded that data at the time as an issue with the image.
Ideas, anyone? If not, i'm guessing i'll just place it under my car, ran it over, and get another with the insurance...
I think I heared such problem once a time. Try in this way
1. flash kpe with all 4 files
2. flash kpm single file as pda file.
3. do factory reset
if it solve ur problem then its better for u. But if u still face internal sd card error problem then straight way flash stock firmware which is available in ur country & go to samsung center & tell them that suddenly this problem is occured. Dont tell them that u have ever flashed anything on it.

LMAO, I lol'd hard at your post regarding it went overnight FUU.
Firstly, the post was a little long, but interesting. Me gusta.
The problem could be the following
- What class is your SD card? Some tend to buy cheap ones, or some tend to offer when you get a SALE they pitch in a ****ty SD card that literally messes your phone. Made in Taiwan > Made in China. For some. There have been cases when the SD card has not been "ejected" properly the phone tends to receive this as a crash and default sets everything back to stock *Apple does this aswell*. But ofcourse I implore you to try using ANOTHER SD card. If your using one that used to be from a Nokia phone then you need to format that ****. Some files in Nokia cause issues with the Android, this happened when I first got my phone aswell. I would suggest getting one from branded companies, Kingston/SanDisk, IMO, Sandisk is the best. Cheap yet to the mark.
- What put me on edge was your contacts and messages being gone. Maybe it's SD related. Iunno.
PS: Don't use Kies. Kies is horrible. If 2 ugly trolls mated, Kies was probably the result.
To test: Use XXKPH/XXKPM Choice is yours, Don't know how to flash it? Link is under my sig, Remove your SD card. Use it for a day, Fill up the internal memory with atleast 500MB of stuff. Lastly? Pray that overnight the trollfairy doesn't swap your phone with a factory reset one .
Hey Misledz! Thanks for your reply!
About the SD Card, I'm using a Kingston Class 4, 8GB one. But the issue is presenting with "Internal SD Card". While i'm doing this with the phone, just out of precaution, i take it out and i haven't placed it inside my phone yet.
And the whole "Trollfairy" thing, it's starting to look like a viable explanation to it, LOL!!

I know right?! Maybe writing is a profession of his. Despite the long nature I was strangely indulged to read it
@Collie, Well the problem happens at times when you don't factory reset. *2767*3855# that should get you in to a manual factory reset. The phone's internal memory sometime's has issues with that, You may however need to flash the latona file to repartition the drive. After the repartition, the flashing of the firmware and lastly, le factory reset. That should serve as a stable ground base
Kingston Nice.
Updates?
KIES really is a POS. Every time i flash a new fw and my phone does the initial boot while its connected to the pc I see the horrid screen on my phone reminding me that KIES is installed on my pc. FUUUUUUUUU

About that, maybe I'm doing the reset in an incorrect way. I've been using Vol +, OK, Power to enter the second recovery mode and factory reset the phone. I don't know if this is the same as using the code.
Update on what I did:
I installed the last version of Gingerbread once more, flashed with Odin. This time i did not install any app or register in google, i just left it as it was. This was done saturday afternoon. At night, i took it with me, and i left it in my bag while I was at the club. When i got back to it, around 6 AM, it hadn't rebooted. So i went home, went to sleep, woke up at midday for lunch and....FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!
LOL the irony of the best order. Well did you try without the sdcard? That's your last option from your side, the next possible is getting the unit changed if you are under warranty, just don't mention odin, rather always blame kies LOL. If the end of the world happened, kies. World War 3,kies. There was a user who had the same issue reported like 5months ago, he had internal ROM problem where the phone failed to save the information it was given causing it to say the internal was corrupt? He ended up getting a new unit and found out later the unit he had previously was a faulty handset

SD has been out since day 1, since I started having this issue, first thing i thought is "this idiot is saving its own files to the SD instead of its own memory, and when it reboots for some reason it can't find the files and goes nuts".
So yes, i'm thinking about just taking it to the store and getting a new one...
THAT'S IT! I'm taking it to the store tomorrow...
Now it's just rebooting itself...Samsung logo going on and on....
Thanks everyone for the help!!!

LOL i would have done the same, only a little different, burn it, dance and wait for the ashes to settle, drink up the ashes or feed it to my dog, then walk upto the nearest samsung retailer and take a dump on the entrance entitled 'Now your phone is ****', I'm pretty sure the insurance covers the carpet too.

Gotta say thanks!

I have to post a serious "thank you!" to all the people who take the time to come here and help people like me.
Friday I rooted my HTC ONE S. Saturday I installed a new ROM (Miui) and had issues with the WiFi. Long story short, I installed 2 other ROMs and had the same issue. During the day, I somehow (stupid, I know) managed to completely erase everything on my phone - ROM and all. I tried for hours to read everything here that I could and fix it. At one point, I was certain I'd have to just go get a new phone because I had obviously completely screwed mine. But it's hard for me to just give up on a challenge.
During this process, I never had to register here and never had to post a question - search feature is great. Then last night, I finally got it working again. Not only that, but my phone works better now than before I rooted it. It's smoother, faster, more useful. Plus, ever since I got the phone, it's always had a hard time connecting to my home wifi. Now it doesn't.
The point to all of this is that if it weren't for all of you knowledgeable folks coming here and answering questions of people like me, then people like me would be in a lot of trouble and would have to settle for an otherwise bland Android experience.
So -- thanks to all of you!

I agree with you completely but not that they want their names mentioned, it would not hurt to mention them or the ones you remember or hit their thanks button cuz I too have had the greatest help by many members but 2 in my case of rooting for almost a week and a half.
Since you're new, here's a friendly tip. You don't need to make a thread with thanks. You can just the thanks button and help others wherever possible.
No "Thank you"-Threads. Use Thanks-Button individually then the ppl that helped you know that they did

Just want to let you know,...

...that my time with HTC One SV is running out.
But lets start from beginning!
I'm very sad to tell you, that my device has an error. Something i can not reproduce, its happening randomly, from time to time and that makes it hard to solve.
The phone is shutting down, from one moment to the next. Without any logical reason, and without i get noticed of it. That means, until i see that my phone is off, nobody can call me. And thats the reason, why i can't longer use this phone anymore.
Missing calls or connectivity is a no go for me!
Of course i have sent in the phone for warranty/repair, but without luck. Every time i've got it back, it was ok some time, but always this error came back.
What i know is, it is related to GSM network. Its happening, when the phone is trying to connect to mobile internet. But like i said, not always, only sometimes.
Without Sim-Card, all is fine (changing Sim-Card to a new one did not solve it). While plugged in for charging, also all is fine.
This situation was also the reason, why i stopped almost all of my development activities with this device! I had to make it sure, that its not coming from buggy mods
So now i came to the point, where i had to make a decision. And the answer is: HTC One (M8) :laugh:
Yes, i've bought it. And it is great. And i love it. Yes, Kitkat and Sense 6
It feels so good to hold this alu-unibody phone (i know, its "only" a phone, but its simply fantastic). It feels like One SV was the step i needed on the way to a 5" phone.
Back to HTC One SV:
I'm not sure, maybe i'll try another time the repair service, but i always have to pay the cost of the delivery. Maybe i'll sell it as defect. Maybe i'll keep it as "Wifi-Surf-Machine", lol. Don't know yet.
But that means, my phone is back to stock, completely "Locked". No TWRP, no root, nothing.
That also means, no development or testing or anything like that from my side for this phone anymore.
Sorry, this was not planned, but the situation was not longer bearable!
Well, i will try to look into this forum here and keep my threads up to date, but i also will not promise anything (i can't look what happens in the future).
You still can contact me, if you see something in my threads that needs to be updated or if you want something added to my index thread.
All in all i think it will be a long slow goodbye! :crying:
At least, i wanna thank all people here, for the funny time i had and for the good things i've learned!
Special thanks i want to bring up to @Modding.MyMind @russellvone @xpirt @rollon76 @BrateloSlava (and all i forgot, can't mention all), who helped me to bring this device going up and growing better from day to day!
Thanks guys! :good:
Thanks a lot for your great work on this device and bringing up this forum!
Just one last question! Is your car holder compatible with the M8!?
Thank you for you help and for everything that you do for us ! Enjoy your new device I will leave the phone soon too ...
I may be joining you @old.splatterhand. Battery on my device is becoming unstable and I am not in the mood to deal with repairs. Can't afford to be without a phone for a week or so. My line of work won't allow it lol.

#M8
This saddens me. However the M8 is on my radar anyway. ?
Glad to had you here. You have begun this xda forum and put a lot of work. Thank you for your support here and have fun with All New One.
I got my LG G2 since few days . My friends just made me a gift for my bday . Sorry but i am leaving the phone too ...
Thanks
Thank you soooo much for responding to all our questions, Especially mine
You are another reason for me to buy a M8
Thanks so much for help, for ROMs and any other things you've done for our One SV
Regarding unstable phone... Try to clean gold connectors on battery and phone. I had similar situation. Phone 10months old just started to shut down. I press power to turn on screen and htc sign - turning phone on...it was off. Random, once-twice a day. I think also network coul be problem... So I did twrp restore and clean those connectors because i read somewhere that it can be oxidized and need to be schrached a bit. Since then phone is ok. Maybe weak signal + some apps load phone to give more energy and oxydation on conectors cause instability... I didnt do any big mods. Stock one sv lte 4.2.2 root supersu, twrp, rumrunner s off. Just deleted some bloat. In time of restarts i started using app superbeam, but restarts happened random. Also instaled call recorder, but didt use it. Thats it. I have now super beam and works ok. Didnt try call recorder again, dont need it.

Interesting find!
What did you use to clean? Can you make a picture of yours?
Actually my wife is using the One SV as her main phone. Without a problem!
But she has no mobile internet in her provider contract, so it is disabled all the time. And for me it crashed always when it was connecting to mobile internet.
The idea about the "higher energy load could cause instability" was also in my mind, but i had no idea how to resolve it.
I think i will take a look at this :good:
I used small knife, pocket knife..didnt press hard. I read that affects some htc phones, sensation i belive.. when it happened i was in forest, weak signal...
Report back if that helps...i dont know is that solution or twrp restore solved things...i did everything i could think off so dont know what solved problem..
I will try as soon as the problem comes again.
Right now i don't want to wake sleeping dogs...
There is nothing strange you do. Just pull battery out an clean...
Now my phone works ok 2 months without turning off.. fingers crossed..
@old.splatterhand
I'm sorry sir I've just now noticed this....The m8 is great, I bought two early this year.
The M9 (HIMA) I will buy as soon as it's released
See you around my friend

Hi Russel, nice to talk to you again
Sometimes i have seen your posts in M8 forum or in Sunshine thread, always great to see "old" folks again :highfive:
Yeah, i have the M8 since early May now and its great. Nothing to worry about, for me!
That also could be the reason, that i maybe skip the M9. My M8 is just great :good:
And honestly: i'm in hope that HTC releases a tablet with Sense, similar size like Nexus 9 and with Snapdragon CPU...
I think its amazing to see your dedication to the sv forum..
All the work, time, effort and time you have put into this..
Its simply amazing..respect!!
Did the error also contain inernet browser shutting of randomly?
I have never had any issue with my sv..
I did not do much to it, dont know much about all the how to's, why not's, but have shyed away from the stuff i thought to be too risky for me (well for my sv).
In the mean while i bought a m7 and tried a bit of the risky stuff, wich made me smile and think back to my sv..
Yesterday i did s-off my sv for the first time and wanted to remove red warning, wich, in the end resulted in my sv not booting up into rom any longer.. will look into that to solve that, but...
Before i did this, i wanted to change my boot animation, turned on 'show gif' in internet browser and immediately i experienced random shut down's of internet browser.
Maybe you forgot about the sv, maybe you still think back once in a while, maybe this info is of any use, maybe not...
Thanks

My Phone turn off suddenly, help me please!!

Hey guys. I have a problem I tried to speak Spanish as forums but got HTCMania solve anything.
Before I thought it was problem of CM 11 that I turned off the phone suddenly (not restart, it shuts down) and occurred 1 time every 3 or 4 days, now increasingly occurs more often, yesterday I turned off the phone 6 times, this night while sleeping 3 times went out. It made me late for work again because the phone was turned off and the alarm did not go off ... following tips, did not solve anything. I factory reset everything I installed the stock ROM without root or anything, I installed Paranoid Android, SlimKat, Illusion ... nothing, with all the ROM I just turn off the phone. Not have more than 3 ½ months of use and this has been happening since 1 month. I gather it can be battery problem or the device itself, but it is something that has no solution for me. I live in Venezuela and bought me phone my mother and sent from Spain, along with the bootloader already unlocked, the warranty is not going to accept me or have possibility to send. I have searched a thousand Internet sites (Venezuela because the outside you can not buy anything here) and I do not find the battery moto G, to buy and to me installed in a technical service, but even on Amazon U.S. found nothing .
I fell into despair because I can not find any solution, I've calibrated the battery and also keeps shutting off, so I already was without resources, ideas and nothing to do but to stay with the phone and continuously be aware that if the phone turns off,,,, I have to turn it on again, buy an alarm clock to not be late for work again.
Continue pending if anyone can give me some solution, try anything, because nothing I lose ... buy a phone in this country is an impossible task because notice that a regular phone range Moto G (which is cheaper) costs Complete 4 months my salary.
Again thank you very much for your help and am awaiting any news that they can provide me. Hughs
I can't help you, nor I'll even bother trying.Your phone probably has some hardware fault ( too much gaming on it? ).
But what I wanted to tell you is that, you shouldn't have screwed around with your phone, if you can't afford to lose it. You should have never unlocked the bootloader in first place.
A lesson has been learned.

I unlocked the bootloader because I live far from the site where phone was bought. if phone got any problem I can't send it to warranty anytime so whats suposed I must to do? to be on stock frimware and don't root my phone? so all we must do that? then can't understand why there are lot of scene about root ROMs and all that. of course I know my rosks when I unlock my bootloader and root my phone but is my decission, if noone must unlock the bootloader then this kinds of forums would be useless.
Anytime, this community is the best for this kind of scene, root, ROMs and all around that.
I didn't play too much just played a bit, you really think that suposed hardware problem is because I rooted my phone? I bought it 3 1/2 mounth ago and I didn't have any problem, just 1 mounth ago started with this. I think is a factory problem, maybe hardware maybe battery, but not around root or ROM installed.
I was asking just because maybe someone got the same problem and can help be. I appreciate your cooperation like all kind of cooperation but need solutions, not lessons of what I souldn't do.
Thanks anytime
Replacement batteries can be found on eBay. I'd try that first.

They can't import stuff there that easy, thats one of his main problems.Probably eBay is not an option for him.Not 100% sure about that tho.

"a lesson has been learned" nope because he did not understand what happened
1- you should fomated all your phone ( use TWRP recovery), then flash stock Firmware.
2- after that,you turn off your phone BY YOU and plug chager for 1 day.
3- restart your phone and check.
4- it's my solutions. :thumbup: ,hope it's help.

With that said, I don't think you'll understand even if I paint it for you.
Try reading my post again, give it a thought for a while, eventually it will come to my mind what I'm saying and why.
