Note everyone is missing the point of my post (and I'll have to accept blame for that), but still...

> Try taking your HTC One M8 back to Carphone Warehouse if you ever get in trouble. I'd be interested to see how their service compares.

I'd just load it up with fastboot and reflash the firmware image. No need to go to a store of any kind. 5 minutes and done :)

And I'm 8 hours in to that process. Not 5 minutes. I've learnt a load of stuff I never knew about Android in the process, but the facts are it still doesn't work and I've wasted several hours.

And yes that's my fault. I probably started out by doing the wrong things and wasting a load of time. But I'm not stupid, I just didn't know where to begin.

My point, was that I am not stupid enough to assume the rest of the world has to be exactly like my immediate surroundings. Unlike author of the article submitted here.

It's a very weak base for an article.

Thankfully I can understand what you said. Because I have recently flashed my S2 with custom Lollipop ROM.
