[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
So far we haven't seen any OTA from HTC which removes S-OFF when done by revolutionary by alpharevx. This also held true on the original EVO with unrevoked's s-off patch at radio level.

Keep in mind though, there is always the chance, it removes s-off, although this chance should be fairly slim.

Unless you're okay with being locked out or spending hours fixing things which *might* go wrong, I wouldn't take the OTA. If you're not interested in the slight possibility you might end up tinkering for hours to fix an issue, it would be best to wait until an updated ROM is released.

If you're okay with the risk something *could* go wrong, I give some basic steps to take when taking the OTA in order to restore root access.

The OTA will remove root access, for sure, but should not remove the memory unlocked write protection.

In the Sprint OTA thread, I gave a thorough analysis, caution and then step by step how to restore root after loading the OTA (steps confirmed by people posting to work):

Caution Post

Step by Step Post

Feel free to read through the thread to learn more about the Sprint OTA. I would assume the rogers OTA will be very similar as HTC released this very targeted OTA security update to most regions.

Hope that helps! Good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] BB88:
Thanks for the details!

If I decided not to take the OTA, is it possible to disable this OTA notification in the Pull Down Menu and the taskbar? I don't want to accidentally tap on it.

I have already disabled the checking for update, but it didn't help.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Off the top of my head, the first method which comes to mind requires root:

I know if you remove the OTAcerts.zip (or similar name) file in /system/etc, once it downloads the OTA, it will error verifying and cancel.

There might be a better way to disable OTA, but I know the above way will guarantee it doesn't clear the security check after download so it will reject.

I know also, changing the build.prop information would cause it not to register the OTA is available, but due to how the Market reads the build.prop, might not want to change anything in here.

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] BB88:
Can I just backup OTAcerts.zip somewhere and delete the one in system/etc using Root Explorer?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
yup! as a general rule of thumb, always backup any file before deleting!

I think it would be helpful to make a thread so we can all make the right buying decision. There are no wrong answers, of course, and I realize some may not want to give a dollar amount, but from most of the posts I have seen people have been pretty open about the $

I for one am hoping that the Note will come to a country with a more favorable exchange rate than those with the Euro or the Pound..

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] yondercomesthetrain:
I have a DROID X2 right now and the development community is a lot slower than a lot of other phones due to the lack of an unlocked bootloader. I'm highly considering buying an OG DROID from someone on craigslist and ROMing, Theming, Overclocking, and undervolting the hell out of it. I used to have a samsung fascinate back in the day and i could do just about anything with that phone since the bootloader was totally unlocked. I just wonder if the OG Droid is worth buying and replacing the DROID X2 that I have now.

What do you guys think? Is it worth the $75 OBO?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ivanoterra:
DROID X2 is droid 2, or is something diffrent ?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] hpark21:
Droid 2 is only single core.

X2 is dual core tegra.

Droid x is more close to droid 2 but with larger screen and no physical keyboard and 8mp cam instead of 5.

X2 is different beast all together.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Babis_ECE:
You have a Droid X2 and want to get a Droid? I can't think why.

OK, we all like modding, theming, etc, but you have a little beast with Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 AP20H chipset and 512MB RAM. It also has an FM Radio which the Droid doesn't and also a screen with 540 x 960 pixels, 4.3 inches (~256 ppi pixel density)

It is a way better device than Droid. So I would keep it and wait for development to start. I believe the bootloader will be unlocked just like Atrix' did. ;)

And unfortunately I can't use it here in Greece as we only use GSM Networks and not CDMA's or I would buy it from you! :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lostsync:
I absolutely love my OG Droid, but over the last 6 months it's started to get pretty frustrating. It is a really fun device and there are lots of great ROMs for it, but the internal memory is too small and it is starting to be way too slow, even overclocked. I've been waiting for what seems like forever for a phone that I've deemed worthy of replacing it, and the Galaxy Nexus should be it, if VZW will ever decide to release it.

The thread you mentioned is only for flashing v10e or v20c (indian versions)

In this thread we can see procedure to flash any version by using extracted dz file from kdz.

I thought this would be helpful for people who want to flash stock rom from different countries having different versions of rom.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dodialfaed:
I followed your instructions and it all went well. I have stock rom installed and all it's working fine.

One question though: before the install was finished lgmdp gave me an NV restore error!!

Should I worry or it's something normal?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mak.3736:

Are u able to use GSM and data (connected to your sim network) ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dodialfaed:
Yes I can use gsm and data, all is working well.

Yes I backed-up the nv on my pc.

As far as I know everything went ok. It's just that it gave me that error...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mak.3736:
Store that nv file with you.

If you face any difficulty in gsm or data, then flash that nv.

all is ok

just that my apps disapeared
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mak.3736:
Sorry for inconvenience

did you try with selecting "none" ?

or

here is fool proof method but a little lengthy

put the nv file in this order

create new folder

- rename folder: <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>

- create new folder in <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>

named <port no.> on which your phone is connected

(ex:for com4 name folder as " _COM_4_" (without quotes), you can find

port number when you click on "select port" when connecting mobile to

lgmdp under port column.)

- now place nv2 file in this folder <port no.>

- so now u r nv2 file is in

" \<your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)>\<port no.>\ "

- now place lgmdp.exe and <your_imei_(on_which_nv2_is_created)> in

new folder

- start lgmdp

- "select port"

- "connect"

- press "NV Restore"
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dodialfaed:
I did all that and it started restoring the NV but in the end it gave me this error:

This is the same error I got after installing the stock firmware.

AFAIK you shall not backup anything if you're updating from v10x to any v10

Just backup in case though

Also you need to reroot after flashing any firmware

[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Recently, my keyboard has been acting crazy. Sometimes, when I attempt to type something, the letters appear in the suggested words area but nothing appears in the field in which I'm typing. I've tried switching between keyboards as a quick fix as some have recommended online but that has not worked for me. The only way I've been able to get my keyboard working again has been to reboot my phone which is a real PITA! Any solutions out there?

Also, whenever my keyboard is not working, I am also unable to make phone calls. When I click a contact's number, it populates the dialer but nothing else happens. This problem requires a reboot too. Anyone else experience this?

All of this strange behavior started within the last month or two and I don't know what happened. I've just wiped my phone and guess what? It just happened again! Please help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
I used to experience that too once in a while. It drove me crazy.

If you Google it, you'll find that it's a common issue inherent with Android devices. I believe it's related to a memory issue.

To minimize occurrences, I installed an auto memory manager. Recently, I also installed Zep's memory scripts too. Haven't had it occur since installing both (the AAM may be all you really need - available on the Market).

Hope this helps,

Flipper

[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Ahh... that makes sense. I believe my problems may have started after I uninstalled the "AutoKiller Memory Optimizer" app. Is the "Auto Memory Manager" app a better program to use? Pros and cons?
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Photon already has it's own Automatic Task Killer, one that is not an app that you can edit or change settings. You are better off without one buddy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
I agree... sort of.

I sort of agree with deedscreen's post. Yes, the Photon does already have an automatic task killer and most of the time, it does work well. However, it doesn't work flawlessly all the time and many Photon users experiencing the keyboard lag is enough evidence to substantiate that it isn't perfect.

Now, my understanding is that an automatic memory manager is distinctly different from an automatic task killer. The memory manager supposedly works differently (I'm no developer so I'm not even going to try and explain).

Whether Auto Memory Manager is better than Auto Memory Optimizer, I can't say. I'm guessing they both work the same way so try both and see which one resolves your problems. All I know is that after installing AMM, I saw less occurrences of the keyboard lag problem popping up.

Good luck.

Sorry if this is a naive question, but we talk a lot in updates to CM7 and other ROMS about what's been ADDED to the new ROM releases. But what exactly is the difference between AOSP and CM7? What can we say are the top 3 things done to an AOSP ROM to create a new version of CM7? And why do ROMs need to have ADW or LauncherPro attached? Can't a ROM function with just a stock AOSP launcher or is it just too limited?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
lol, CM7 IS an AOSP rom. AOSP means completely stock android.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
CM7 is actually far from stock AOSP. The list of mods, customizations, and optimizations that the CM team includes in CM7 is huge.

As far as launchers, the standard AOSP launcher is very basic, that's why CM includes ADW. If you want the stock AOSP look, ADW can be configured to look exactly like it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Yeah, CM7 is far from AOSP now. Without the plethora of extra features/modifications, there's no way I can use AOSP over Sense or MIUI.

There's far too many to list the differences, so you're just going to have to flash CM7 to see for yourself.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
Yeah, that's what I thought. I'm pretty sure I wasn't THAT big of a noob. If CM7 was the same thing as saranhai said, then why would it be one of the most preferred ROMs out there? Clearly it's doing something, I just wanted to know techwise what it was doing.

:rolleyes:

my mistake! sorry...

guess i need to study up too lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Well yes it looks like AOSP. But it has many features that AOSP doesn't. It has 4 different LS's (Lock-screen), LS wallpapers, LS calendar notifications, LS music widgets and music controls, notification pull down power widgets, you can toggle the notifications on top such as taking away the clock or 3 different battery styles. You can have multiple gesture controls within the SMS app and the LS itself to jump you to applications right from the LS. You have incognito option in your browser, and so much more options in the Contacts app.

All that I've mentioned is not available in regular AOSP ROM's, and that's just a fraction of what CM has to offer.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bittermormon:
