Thank you for the response :)

Yea ICS crossed my mind, but after what I've gone through with my epic, I don't think I could use a stock phone ever again. Tell me this, if you can, is it easier to root than the old Thunderbolt method? As in circumventing the bootloader via exploit and thus making a HUGE headache to restore to stock if needed?

The processor is dual core, which I like, but as far as I can tell our phones have much better screen quality. Bah. I don't know what to do.

[Epic 4G General] xgerryx:
Oh really? Ok. Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
If they're asking for a straight up trade... Do it for sure. The phone stock alone is better than the epic (due to dual core and speed). The screen on the epic is imo a little better since it has superamoled (my favorite). Unfortunately, development for the Photon isn't very great and isn't supported very well. If you were to get the Photon I'd just leave it stock and root it for the free tethering (which might not work on your device depending on ad hoc or not). The photon is a great phone, and has much better signal strength than any other sprint phone. If having a hardware keyboard isn't a problem for you.. I'd definitely trade for the photon. If you like having a phone with developer support... stick with the epic. If you have any other questions, please let me know :)
[Epic 4G General] Rabidmechanic05:
Honestly rooting the photon is down to a one click root, unlocking the bootloader is easy to if you know how to read. Putting cwm on is also simple if you can follow directions. If you have any concerns ask away, if you have any doubts on doing something, read read read!

[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
Agreed it is very easy. I have videos for everything actually. Whether its rooting, unlocking a bootloader, or unrooting. To have a rom, you will lose 4G. Unlocking your bootloader causes you to lose 4g.
[Epic 4G General] xgerryx:
Ok, I'm starting to get the picture now. I guess there is good and bad on both sides. I don't have 4G in New Hampshire, and I never will in the form of WiMax, so that part doesn't bother me. I think I will trade for it if he still wants to do it. Thanks all for your input :)
[Epic 4G General] HafizNafes89:
I bought the motorola photon yesterday, and honestly i think its an incredible device that can easily hold me off until sprint start releasing LTE devices.

I heard that their is a way to use a custom rom and keep your 4g by doing the following.

1. root device

2. unlock bootloader

3. install recovery

4. install custom ROM

5. backup custom ROM

6. lock bootloader

7. root

8. restore custom ROM
[Epic 4G General] Rabidmechanic05:
That method only works with pseudo roms, full roms require cwm which requires an unlocked bootloader

I have been using z4root for a while. Today when I pressed wireless tether I got a message. Unable to tether is your device rooted. I am using version 1.3.0 I tried reinstalling the software. That did not work. When I root my phone it says I am rooted when I press wireless tether I get serveral messages the first one says sorry but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application. I tried pressing ignore then I got message that this application will not work properly. Then I get message that says unable to start tethering is your device rooted. My software z4root says I am rooted and seems to work. Yet the wire less tether does not see that I am rooted.

Yesterday I got the update message on Android incredible. But it did not work. Got the not enough space message. I did move a lot of my apps to my sd card could this be the problem? I also have enabled acess control in wireless tether app. Also enable wifi encryption is checked? I still have version 2.2. Please help me I love using this.

Does backing up rooted phone mean that I have all my downloaded apps and data on either my computer or my sd card. Is there anything else I need to back up? Right now I only have one program that I downloaded that is not from the market. All my contacts are on my gmail account?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
When you back up with recovery it backs up your entire phone to the clockwork folder on your sdcard. It is highly recommended that you copy the backup folder to your pc on a regular basis just in case something goes wrong with your sd.

Ok just downloaded clockwork. Haven't really done anything else with the phone since it is rooted. Other than get wireless hotspot.

I am just learning about Roms and Flashing. What OS system would you recommend for the incredible. I installed Rom Manager. That is where I got clockwork from. Seems like an easy program. Do I need to erase anything on my phone manually before I put a new OS system on it?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
Are you saying that you installed clockwork thru Rom Manager and that's it? To make a back up it's better to boot into recovery and manually make a back up rather than the Rom Manager option. For this boot into recovery, I believe Rom Manager has an option to do this. When in recovery use the track pad to navigate down to backup/restore and push the track pad button to select it. Then select backup. Make sure you have a full charge on your phone or do what I do and leave it plugged in. It will take it a little while for this to finish.

Just backup up phone using titanum it is working.

1) If I want to update my OS system using stock verizon update can I do it on the incredible and then can I restore with titanum all my settings and data on my phone.

2) Will titanum restore my ringtones to the people I have assigned them to in my contact information. On previous updates I have lost all of them and had to manually put them back. And since you cannot put ringtones on by groups only individual this takes me forever.

3) Do I need to do anything before I update (if I can) Is there any site that has the update for rooted phones.

Any help will be appreciated.

Going to loose. I have backed up system and data. Do I absolutely have to do a clean data and factory reset. Is there anything I can do to save assigned ringtones.

Step by Step instructions.Can you help me download my first Rom OS system? I want to download cyanogenMod 7.1

looks like a good one. Unless you can recommend one to me. I am just afraid of loosing everything. I did back up phone.

I have looked on web and their are lots of video's and stuff but the instructions are all different. I now have the basic version of Rom Manager the brand new one V4.8.0.6

I saw in the premium version market doctor and other stuff that was recommended.

Seems like a good investment.

I am going to buy pro version of rom manager so I can backup to dropbox.

I need to know what steps I need to do so I cannot loose all my data. I guess I did not want to loose my individual ringtones on my contacts but no one seems to answer my question regarding this issue. It would be nice to put ringtones on groups and not have to put them in individually on each contact.

I would also like to know how to get data back properly on phone after I install new rom

This is completely and utterly wrong! They can't compare LTE customers to HSPA in terms of data usage. Verizon has had LTE network for a year with 180 million americans blanketed, tons of LTE devices, and they've never bothered their LTE with crap like that. I've used 80GB at one point, no issues. They actually prefer their customers getting on LTE and offloading their EvDO network.

I'm at about 3.5Gb on my Skyrocket, so far so good, but then again, I only have HSPA+...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] opencipher:
Change the APN. Go to Settings. Wireless Networks. Mobile Settings. Access Point Names

Click on the Settings button and add a New APN.

Name it whatever. I used the settings from another thread and named it ATT HSPA+

APN: Phone

APN Type: Internet.

Left everything else blank. You won't get MMS but you have to create another APN for that, but even doing that I still can't send/receive MMS. But, I'm willing to sacrifice that for the speeds until the end of my cycle when I switch back to the normal ATT APN.

Now, here is the weird part and it takes some trial and error. When I switch to the new APN, reboot, I have to call the phone and let it sit there for a few minutes. Also disable Juice Defender. Not sure if it has anything with Juice Defender cutting the radio on and off. After a few minutes it switches to the other APN and will not access the LTE APN at all. And for some reason I get normal HSPA speeds. You can mess around with it and see what happens.

Some times it would take about 15 minutes to see the speed change..sometimes it happens right away. Not sure why..but its working for me.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
This is a question for someone with really good knowledge of system files within android. I have taken the 3.06.405.1 RUU and cooked it into a rom to use for myself using the dsixda kitchen. Everything works just fine except wifi. I cannot get past the obtaining IP adress when trying to connect to wifi. I have searched through the phone trying to find the files that control wifi and am stumped. Which files would i need to extract from stock rom to make the wifi obtain an IP. I know my router is good because my wife is using it with no issues. When i cooked the rom i had to change the boot.img to one from a rom that i know can boot because the one in the ruu would not get past splash screen. Do i need to try a different boot.img or is there files that i need to replace that are inspire 4g specific.

I have already tried kernels from VU, Klquicksall and lordmod. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
The wifi is based on the Broadcom 4329 chipset and the bcm4329.ko kernel module is required for wifi operation (it is stored in the /system/lib/modules/ directory on the phone). The module should match the kernel and should have been compiled with the kernel build. You don't mention what kernel you're using so I can't comment further. bcm4329.ko from a different kernel build may work, but with varying degrees of success.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Thank you very much gene I appreciate it. :) I did replace that file but did not make sure it matched the kernel. I will give it another shot. And for others that read this I still am using Bindroid as my daily I'm just trying to figure out how to build roms too. I thank all the devs for the great tools available to do so, mainly the kitchen.
