[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phrozhen.Khold:
I'd like a rom that's closest to the stock first before trying any custom roms since I'm just new to Android and wouldn't want to mess up my phone due to me being a noob at this.

I've already downloaded the TEAM rom & some others but would like to see how my phone works with stock then move on from there.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silveraero:
So you should upgrade to Android 2.3.3 first through PC Companion, try it for few days and learn how Android works. Then you can install custom ROM if you want.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aptalmagest:
2.3 is pushing this week, before accepting the update do I need to unroot my phone? It's on Unrevoked at the moment. Or can I push the update and it will magically unroot my phone? If that happens will unrevoked work again or will it be stuck in no root land till someone finds a root for 2.3?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willdo7474:
Ugh! There are probably 20 threads that cover this but since there will probably be 20 more... If you want to stay rooted don't update until a Dev has had a chance to release a rooted stock version. Unrevoked will most likely (99%) not work to get you root.

Your best bet is to just be patient and keep an eye on the development section. Someone will definately release a rooted version, relatively quickly. I think the leaked gingerbread was rooted the same day it got leaked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Or you could just go to a custom ROM in the meantime... they're so much better than stock anyway
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It will not magically unroot your phone.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aptalmagest:
So then I do need to unroot my phone do accept the update?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Yes. That's exactly what thread after thread is saying. Search function bro... Really. Frankly, I think doing such a thing would be pretty stupid, but that's your call. And I'll tell you exactly why it would be stupid......

In a few short days you're gonna see a flood of ADB rooted ROMs in the dev section that will unquestionably be better than the bone stock job you'll be totally stuck with. I can tell you from experience that just because its an OTA doesn't mean its better. And if you're that crazy for the bleeding edge of Android, the version of gingerbread in the OTA will not be as current as CM7. I don't personally like gingerbread much. It hasn't cracked up to be the magic elixir people make it out to be, just like so many new devices that everyone SWEARS will be the next digital Mecha.... Incidentally, I'm typing this on the HTC Mecha, which was swooned over for month, then hated on for all the same weaknesses the dInc has.

Friend to friend here... I wouldn't tell anyone to do what you're think of doing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GinNjoose:
I'm being steered in the same direction. On 2.2 rooted with unrevoked. Unrooting is undeniably more complicated than rooting IMO and, as stated, the ROMs that are going to be builted off the 2.3 OTA will be better.

I'm just never flashed a ROM before so we'll see how that goes haha
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
You can unroot, go that route if you'd like. But there's already 2 rooted, ready to go zips of the OTA in the Development forum you could just download and flash.

I guess what I don't understand is, people seem to think that receiving the OTA you get MORE than just flashing the OTA zip that's been rooted/ready for flashing. IT'S THE SAME THING!

In order to unroot, reload the RUU or PB31IMG.zip file to get to stock, if something goes wrong, you've got a nice brick on your hands. You'll lose root when you unroot and accept the OTA, since Unrevoked's exploit is 99% more than likely patched.

You can do all of that work just to accept the OTA, but remember, you'll need to wait for root. Trust me, any day now you'll be seeing the threads of "I accepted the OTA and Unrevoked doesn't work!"...please don't be in that group of people.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Dude, use Doug Piston's ROM Flashing Tutorial, here. It's easy.

After the screen shot showing Wiping Cache, also do:

Mounts and Storage - format /system, format /data, format /boot

Advanced - Wipe Dalvik

Then resume at the Install zip from SD Card screen shot...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beard0:
This is wrong..you can stay s-off but you need stock recovery and stock 2.2 rom

It might be too late for us (Vibrant owners) but this will surely increase the competition amongst current Android phone providers (Samsung, HTC, etc.) to raise the bar now that the big honcho is directly in the hardware game, particularly in the update department.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinesol:
Hey guys. I'm hoping that some others of you have found a fix for this or can at least try it and verify that it is universally an issue. I am using the newest nightly with the most recent GAPPS including market 3.0.27. With 240 lcd density, videos tab shows properly and all apps appear in market and in "My Apps". With any other lcd density, videos goes away, and many apps lose the install button and show incompatible on market.android.com. This happens if I change the density manually in build.prop or if I use lcd density for root. Also, I have compatibility mode turned off in spare parts.

Anyone else got this same thing?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk63:
Sounds normal, certain apps require a specific resolution and can't install otherwise.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinesol:
I'd say that makes sense, but it didn't happen until 2.3.5 and market 3.0.27. The old market worked perfectly regardless of lcd density. Maybe the old market just didn't have any checks for resolution?

[HTC Inspire 4G] newbie-2:
Even as a newbie I was able to unlock my inspire using [TOOL] HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V12.3 (UPDATED ON 08-11-2011) THANKS, THANKS, THANKS. I found the hack in a developers' forum and I am unable to post there. And, yes, I did read the effen-manual but I still have a few questions-

1- how do I know for sure that my phone is rooted and unlocked.

2- what radio should I install

3- what ROM should I flash

Just getting to this point has been challenge for me but I want to complete the task in the best way possible.

Thanks for any pointers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
1. If superuser is installed and running

2. Theirs all type so it may differ for others. I'm currently on att gingerbread one

3. Try them all. That's the best comment theirs only your opinion.

Thanks

Thanks, XAviierG.

Superuser is running and I'll consider Gingerbread one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Good choice. If you're tired of sense I recommend AOSP :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] BigT74:
Hi newbie-2,

I have the same question about the radio. Which radio did you end up flashing?

What steps did you use, and did you flash the RIL as well?

Sorry for all the questions. I read quite a bit in the HTC Inspire 4G Radio Flashing forum post in the Development forum, but I'm afraid it left me a bit confused...

I recently switched my Rom from rooted stock to super OSR and I can't quite be sure but I can swear I have had a slight drop in reception and my battery doesn't quite have the pep it did

I installled the voltage app to try and save some batt but is there any radio mod to improve reception a bit

[EVO 4G General] Philyteach:
Having been on XDA for a long time now I know that there are a vocal minority that will say "so what" to this post, but that's okay, I'm a happy camper today. The reason that I'm a happy camper is that when I got my Evo just about a year ago I didn't know anything about android. We had what seemed to be a 20 step root method using ADB that frankly scared the crap put of me when I tried it. It was nothing like using my old Mogul.

Today I was able to help 3 different people with problems. It was one of those good news / bad news situations. The bad news is that probably 90% of the folks here still know more about android than I ever will. The good news is that I'm now competent to help those other 10%!

I know, doesn't seem like much compared to out forum "greats," but 3 thanks from 3 different threads is a personal accomplishment for me.
[EVO 4G General] Steven 1:

[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
That's cool, dude. A few days ago everyone in here was all testy and pissed off, and now that the root is out we're all friends again. :)
[EVO 4G General] Indirect:
I was the exact same way. I was a complete noob until I had CM7 running on my old Hero a few months ago (6 I think?) then I got the evo and since about 3 weeks ago, I started helping people out. I even made a perfected batch script that pulls apps from /data/app and for devs I made a /system pulling script. :)
[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
Congrats man for being one of the good guys.

This is exactly the sort of thing that everyone on XDA should be all about. I've personally come a long way from mucking around with ADB to root my Hero and it's really nice to be able to help out every now and then.
[EVO 4G General] Landara:
Nothing wrong with taking pride in helping others! There are some things it's ok to be proud of, that's one of them! I, too, was a complete noob when I came from iPhone to EVO. At first i just read every thread that had an interest to me but soon i started to read questions and thing "Oh, i know that answer I had this problem already!" or maybe someone else had the problem and posted about it and I read that thread. Before long I was helping people fairly regularly, Up to 17 thanks so far which I know isn't that much but for me it is since i still really know very little about android. But remember it doesn't matter how little you know, as long as you share it!

Some of us remember well the days before internet came around. There were no communities like this. If you needed to know something and it wasn't in a book you owned you went to the library and spent all day looking it up! Now any 8 year old can google anything in 5 seconds. And with smartphones they can do it anywhere. Communities like this one are making sooo many things possible that just weren't before for most people, and people that are willing to help others are what makes it all possible!
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
The internet? Days before? I don't even ...

Hey, that's what a community board is all about. Helping those that need help and getting help in return. At one point even the developers were "noobs". They had to start from scratch with only each others knowledge and a couple computers and phones. After years of giving each other a helping hand, they were able to crack every code all the manufacturers created to lock down the true potential of the phones and have made XDA the biggest and best. developers website there is today.

I recently rooted and attempted to flash a rom to my evo. I have tried both clockwork and RA 2.3 currently. I flashed the stock rooted rom as well as synergy. I keep getting the bootloader evertime I reboot.

I flashed the rom with RA it says that it was successful, but I keep getting the bootloader. Did I change a setting in the boot loader and miss it? I have also tried booting the phone without the sd card in the phone.

I also tried wiping the

-Data

-Cache

-Dalvik Cache

-.android_secure

-System

3x each and then reflashed

Any help is appreciated sorry if I rambled but Im trying to include any important information.

[EVO 4G General] Indirect:
Wipe boot, system, cache, data, dalvik, and then flash. I did this and I got no issues. Just be sure to use a proper nandroid backup to restore too. I used twrp as my default recovery and RA as my secondary for when I wanted to wipe boot if I was having issues (I kept getting bootloops) so I say try that and report back here.
[EVO 4G General] tparpobe93:
My phone went dead last night so Ill leave it to charge all day and try it again, I had previously tried wiping all 5 that I had listed in the op 3 times and then flashed. I will try it again this afternoon.
