Yes!

Bootloader unlock allowed : No ??? (it means that bootloader is already unlocked)

Now,

1.) Yes, you can use the DoomLord kit *IF* you are on the .58 fw...if you are not..downgrade to .58 and then use it...

2.) Yes, you can get OTA updates with root...but if your Bootloader is unlocked...you cannot download OTA updates...BUT no worries..

you can always flash the new firmwares manually using flashtool..;) here is the tutorial : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343

3.) Ofcourse you can! As long as you have a google account and you link it to your phone (you need Wifi/Mobile data for this)..its easy..and you can download any app thats compatible with your phone..

Simplier solution to your problem

Requirements:

1. Updated FTF which matches your phone. (refer below for the reference and file source) Don't forget to thank (click thanks) on the writer.

2. Open bootloader.

3. Flashtool

4. Modded stock kernel for LWW; pre-rooted with CWM.

You can download and flash the latest firmware then open your bootloader (on your case it already is), enter fastboot then update kernel (stock) with the

stock kernel modded with root+CWM.

Point here and read over carefully. Then head over section XX. Downloads and choose your phone model and the version you like to have. For me i use 0.62 OFW for Wt19i, choose carefully between Wt19i and wt19a. If you choose/ flash the wrong ROM it mess up your baseband so be careful. :eek:

After that, your phone will be rooted with CWM. No nasty long hard to follow tuts to follow.:D

I want to root directly

is there any way to root it directly???
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
So I've had this phone for almost a week now and I used to he able to get 4g LTE. But ever since I rooted it, I no longer get more than 3g. I now have bananacakes Holiraider 1.6 but I still don't get any higher than 3g. So my question is how do I get 4g and 4g lte. Oh and if anyone is using that custom Rom, is it possible to get faster than 1512? In his thread it shows you can clock it to 1566. Thanks a bunch I'm kinda new to this!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and see what your modem is set to, it should be GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto

you also may have an APN issue, verifiy that your APN is correct, perhaps contact your carrier for the correct APN settings for you phone and plan.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
Well I'm now running a custom ROM. The apn is the same as other users and it does say the above. And yes I am in a 4G LTE area
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tdub:
Try doing the above and change to LTE only.

Then once you have 4G change it back. It should stay on 4G. I had to do this to get 4G on official rom.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
Ok I just tried that but it wouldn't let me to switch it to LTE only. When I did, it switched it back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. I'm just gonna relock my phone and set it back to the original stock rom and format my phone (yes I have the apps and stuff backed up). Because my actual mobile connection fluctuates on and off as well
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rft3ch:
the phone should be locked into the GSM/WCDMA/LTE setting. If you try to change it from that setting it just returns back. The phone will get instructions from the carrier's base station to tell it whether to be on LTE or just 4G/3G. Using *#*#4636#*#* under phone information, what is listed as the Network type?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
It is locked in GSM/WCDM/LTE auto.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rft3ch:
above that option it should tell you the network type. it is about half way between the "run ping test" button and the "Set Preferred Network type" option. Need to know what it says there.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
Oh ok I see what you mean, it says HSDPA
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rft3ch:
make sure that you are in a active LTE area. toggle the radio off and on. the network type should change to LTE if it is available. remember that if you make a phone call your phone will drop back to just 4g/3g and it might take a second for it to switch back to LTE.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
I live in Los Angeles so I'm like in the center of the LTE center in Southern California. But for some reason my phone won't get anything higher than 3G, and my actual cellphone reception toggles on and off randomly too.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
It worked before. For the first 3 days atleast. And now all of the sudden it wouldn't work, so I rooted it and installed a custom ROM
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dusty2422:
Try one of WildChilds custom ROMS. LTE works on both and they're tailored to US users.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rft3ch:
if the problem arised before you rooted and rom'd the phone I doubt the rom is the problem. there is always the chance that you have a bad radio.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
That's what I'm thinking... What would I do about this?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rft3ch:
i would verify your sim with another 4gLTE phone and vice versa.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
Hrm... So it could be a Sim card problem eh? Unfortunately there are no other LTE devices for me to get a hold of... Would this be the only way?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rft3ch:
it could be. i hope you have pulled battery/sim and then rebooted already. you can verify your phone with a known good sim and verify your sim with a known good phone. I would try your local at&t store. they might be able to help.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
I have done it many times :(. Yeah I'm actually going to head over to the at&t store in a few minutes, I'll keep you posted. Thank you so much for your help! rft3ch!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
I will be replacing my phone. I replaced the sim card and that wasn't the problem :(. The rep said that someone else came in with the same problem as well.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bangorang:
Ok I replaced my phone so I have my mobile data back. Thanks again! But I'm really curious as to why my phone did that...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rft3ch:
its hard to say. probably just a manufacturing defect that caused your radio to stop working. at least you got it taken care of!! enjoy the LTE speeds!
[HTC EVO 3D] bmxrideher:
Just a warning to everybody out there with an EVO 3D....

I restored my phone to the exact way it came to bring it into the Sprint store for warranty reasons (screen would register phantom touches and not register real touches). I downgraded my bootloader from the ENG version to 1.4 and S-ONed. I expected that the screen would be fixed. It was.

But they upgraded my bootloader to 1.5!!! With an obvious "LOCKED" note at the top. I am quite upset. Now, I have to use the HTC unlock method.

That's it. Thanks for reading, but I am very unhappy with this phone now and will be considering trading for a GSII or a Photon.
[HTC EVO 3D] bloodrain954:
So your mad they updated and fixed your phone? Lawl
[HTC EVO 3D] bman55:
you should have clearly stated that you didn't want them upgrading your bootloader! I have before

Umm yea, ANY time you bring your phone into sprint with a problem they will immediately update it, and do a factory reset. Apparently that's their "magic" solution to any hardware problem.

Lulz y u no ask for no upgrade? Y u so stooped?

[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
i have never brought my phone to a sprint store with a problem and had them blindly wipe data from it, update it, and hand it back to me. typically if it is a repair center they will just analyze it and hand it back.

what you described sounds more like an apple store...lol....

EVERY single time my girl has brought her iphone into the apple store store store store store they effing wipe all her **** off it (annoying) and hand it back and say it was an app or some other bull****.

although when there is a legit problem, her phone is replaced immediately.

You should have never "S-ON"ed your phone. There was no reason to. You weren't rooted If you would had just the stock ROM on there from a RUU.

[HTC EVO 3D] bmxrideher:
It's an obvious fix to them. First check to see if the issue can be fixed by updating software. Then if needed, put in the labor. I'm curious to know how I should complain.

I'm actually running this though my head

"You sons of *****es fixed my phone?!"

"Sir, do you have something I can help you with?"

"Yes, please downgrade my bootloader to where I can void my warranty so you bastards will never know"

"Sir! Please calm down and put that register down. If you want to unlock your bootloader, please visit htcdev.com, but we will know and never replace your phone for warranty reasons"

I changed the bootloader, because of the fear of them knowing that I voided my warranty. This isn't my first rodeo. I know that I can just use the htcdev method, but it's not worth it. That to me is HTC's too little, too late minimal effort. And a last resort. The only way to fix hardware issues after that is insurance

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Just wondering. In the early stages of a ROM, it always seems like camera, and camcorder don't work. Why? Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Innocent Devil:
These depends on the hadware, it require proper kernel drivers with matching APIs inside it for external apps to access the device.

in case of ICS,there are lots of changes in APIs which provide access to these devices.

But the Manufacturer (OEMs) has not yet provided/released any ICS compatible kernel drivers or source code for that either.

So unless u dont have source code or drivers, such things will happen.

You're using the rc6.1 correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
Thanks for the detailed write-up.

Are you in an LTE market? A full day on LTE would be pretty awesome.

For the screen-off behavior, do you think one can get away with using the smartass governor instead?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I'm using the RC6, tad older I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I'm not in LTE area :-(... Would be nice because that's why I got the phone but then I had to move so can't say anything about LTE.

As for smartass, what kernel are you using? Smartass works very similar to the modified ondemand settings that I set up so it wouldn't make a difference as far as I forsee.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mastajeff:
I tried this, will post results later. Thanks for the great tutorial :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DANIEL133337:
If you could post screen shots of your CPU Spy that would be helpful! How well does your phone do on going into deep sleep? On average from what to what time does yours last you? I'm just skeptical about setting the screen off behavior cause that usually prevents the phone from going to Deep Sleep.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
You're right about the deep sleep, don't let it go into deep sleep. It lasts me 12 hours normally. I'll get you screenshots when I get a chance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] InstigatorX:
Mine goes into deep sleep with screen off behavior setup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DANIEL133337:
Dont you think the phone waste alot more battery though when it doesn't go into deep sleep? I've also found that WiFi tends to create a nasty wake lock. My set up is Sky ICS Speed with Faux Clock 1.296 ghz max -384 mhz min. -37.5 u/v LTE on all day, extremely heavy usage. 12 hour battery life on average.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Which kernel are you using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] InstigatorX:
Using faux kernel with foxstar rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
From what I've noticed with the faux kernel, it goes into deep sleep after some time on it's own, regardless of the screen-off behavior. I haven't opened up the source to check it out for a better explanation but that's something I doubt is worth exploring since the performance doesn't take any hit.

I haven't chosen to underclock to 1.2 but it should do better than the 12 hrs I get now if I did do that. I have a tendency to start GTA 3 and start playing whenever I get bored so that's why I went OC rather than under. For others looking strictly to use the phone with minimal gaming, this would be a good option. LTE isn't available in my area so I can't test with it but the WiFi radio uses just as much battery as the LTE, if not more I have a feeling.

Trying eugene's kernel from today to see if the lionheart governor does better than the current setup. I will know in a couple of days because every ROM flash needs a couple of charge cycles before it accurately shows battery status.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Do you get any SOD? Everything working okay? Is the setup different than what I've got up there? Would like to know and try it out, can update the OP accordingly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Just finished with eugene's kernel and the results were pretty disappointing. Looks like the second core is always kept on regardless, faux's kernel turns the second core offline until usage demands need it.

If anyone knows how to tweak eugene's to stop that from happening, do share.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] InstigatorX:
Can you clue me location of his latest ROM? Or is it somewhere in the Macnut thread on TMO side of the fence?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Using darkside ROM at the moment with the faux kernel, had the Eugene kernel but I noticed that the second core is kept alive regardless of usage and that wasn't helping so I changed back to faux.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] teeg07:
thanks for the awesome write up!

Did it last night, and lasted the day without a sweat! However, my min frequency wont stick? I have it set to stock frequency 1.5, using faux kernal, and my voltages arent as low as yours (im not a crazy user like you.. maybe an hour of talking a day, lots of texts and emails tho), but i cannot get my min frequency of 3xx to stay. Suggestions?

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
im sorry, i have a hard time believing you talk for 6 hours and scroll thry 2000 pages of web and get a day of use. I myself could get about 1.5 days on battery strictly by staying home, connected to wifi all day and barely talking on the phone. i would like to see a screenshot of battery usage at the end of your day
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I know that sometimes when you visit system tuner, it shows something else but if you leave and revisit like 2 minutes later, it's back to what you set it. Don't know why it does that but I know that it sticks because if you hit the times tab, it reflects the settings that you set.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I did specify what app I was using and if you checked it out, you will see that the articles are in a list format. They are downloaded to cache upon request.

Also, if you're skeptical, try it. Otherwise, don't worry about it. What my battery usage says isn't what you'll get so what's the point of a screenshot? I know for a fact that you won't see the same results because hardware behaves uniquely and you're lifestyle is unique to you. This post is a GUIDELINE not a rule.

If you try it, share your experiences, if you don't try it then what's a picture say that my words don't? I see other people put up screenshots with 24+ battery life cycles, does that mean anything to me? No, because I don't use my phone the same way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] teeg07:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raider03:
Interesting post i might give this a try on Quikwiz 1.0.3. excellent work on this guide! Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
I recommend this guide to all those seeking extra battery life, but with a few tweaks. Anyone reading this guide and following blind shoud install fauxclock instead of system tuner, its waaaay more user friendly. Also read up ALOT on v6 before u I stall it. 1.56 is also not required if u r a heavy texter/web browser/data, its really only required for gaming. If u do barely any, if at all, 1.134 or 1134mhz is far more conservative without sacrificing any gui zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I agree, if the min CPU is dropped to 1.2 or just 1 then this should go a whole lot longer.

Fauxclock is good but if you want control over voltages in a nicer fashion and if you want startup controls etc. System tuner all the way (agree that it isn't the most friendly software out there).

Thanks for the recommendation :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Playing with the sky ICS ROM with underclock to 1.02 GHz and rest of the settings and usage as OP. Wifi on the whole time.

It took 2 full battery cycles and a wipe battery stats to achieve this. Prior to the wipe, it was almost 10%/hr.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
wiping battery stats doesn't actually do anything, but that's a completely different matter. That's pretty good, I'm getting the same with tpc v3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] espina936:
I'm tryin this today to improve battery life. I'm a heavy user but little to no gaming. I've underclocked to 1.35 and followed the guide pretty much exactly. Will check in with updates.

Currently running SKY ICS 7.4 SPEED and Faux's Kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
Hey kr3w1337,

Wanna try this out but kinda low on time this week...lol Running SkyICS 7.4 right now, do I have to reinstall my rom then install kernel then everything else? Or can I install new kernel and everything now?

TIA!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Not sure if anyone has brought up the app tasker.. but you dont have to leave your wifi on all the time, or even keep up with whether or not it should be on... tasker has a cool profile that will allow it to watch what cell tower your near and turn on your wifi accordingly. VERY nice. Easily my favorite app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
While that's nice, I'd rather do it myself than pay $6.50 for that app...lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Bah, I think it and titanium are the only apps i'd pay the $7 for... Id say tasker is well worth it, can do so much with it! Turns on gps when i open maps/nav, turns on and off my wifi at 3 different wifi access points, silences my ringer during meetings automatically.. if your running CM7 it turns on your gps for you as you shutdown, and turns it back off after you load... I love it :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
While I do think those are great things for an app to do, seen so much talk about that kind of thing that never really works that well... Just don't really wanna spend that much money for something that I don't think will work as well as I expect it to... Especially when there's no trial period or anything, and 15 mins is not enough time to try out a program like this...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Tasker offers a 1 week free trial period just because of that... try it out http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

If you want it to be able to turn on gps, you need to download an app called secure settings on the market, and you need root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
Oh wow, good to know! Thanks for that info! Gonna try that app out now.

Does anyone know if I need to reflash a rom for this or can I just use the rom I have on now and change the Kernel and add the SuprchargerV6? Never flashed a different kernel before so dunno what to do...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
flash kernels the same way u do roms. as for app tasker, your current setup should work just fine
