It's rumored HTC is making a competitor for the Galaxy Note and it's supposed to come to Verizon this fall.

Are you leaving Verizon or are you asking where to get phones to use with Verizon because of their new policy?
[LG Revolution] osafer:
Im leaving too...
[LG Revolution] Mr Frog:
Hey so what do you guys think of the Samsung Galaxy s3 for Verizon. I have an upgrade and am considering getting it. I'm not sure if it's worth waiting for the next nexus phones that are rumored to come out this fall though. Thanks for your help! :laugh:
[LG Revolution] smokedkill:
I say wait for the new line of Motorola razr they just announced. They said that there will be Developer Editions which will be much easier for custom Roms.

I think xda is the perfect place to discuss which phone to get for rooted users. Going to the store to check them out won't let you know which ones have a good development community. Asking other users on here will.
[LG Revolution] :
I think the Samsung Galaxy S3 is far and away the best phone out there right now. It's absolutely no contest. No other phone, even the iPhone 5 in my opinion even comes close...that being said, there is always something better right around the corner, esp in Android-land. But I hate waiting....lol

4g and Quad Core

http://androidcommunity.com/htc-dro...-5-ghz-quad-core-coming-november-21-20121113/

BTW THIS PHONE IS BEAUTIFUL LOL

This is an HTC Droid DNA I believe this is what you guys are looking for

I've never had an HTC but i've heard great things. I would get this but unless i get one for christmas i'll have to wait until Nov 2013 to upgrade at which time they're will be an even better phone then lol. I've also been a great fan of Motorola. so it would be a toss up between the two. I'm sure when this htc hits the market Motorola will follow right behind it.

After all it is Motorola and Google we're talking about here. They've always got something up there sleeves :D

after looking further into this phone i've become disappointed with htc

Pros:

1080p display

440 dpi

1.5 quad core (would love to see overclocked speed )

Cons:

battery not removable

2,020mAh battery (not really gonna last that long for this phone

NO SDCARD SLOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( only a 16GB built in WTF were they thinking)

Conclusion:

I've decided i might not get this phone.. the only reason i would own this is if, as stated above, it were a gift (and that would only be so the sender wouldn't feel stupid)
[LG Revolution] capt730:
Well, it's time to say goodbye to the Revo. Everyone has been very helpful here. My phone kept freezing and I had to reset it 3 times in the last week. My early upgrade was May 5th, but they let me upgrade today. Off to the Galaxy S3.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Should have waited. Verizon tweeted they are getting the S4 in a month or 2. My revo reboot 2 or 3 times a week. Does this crazy vibrate thing and then reboots.

There is also rumor VZW is getting the HTC One which is what I am waiting for. Either the Lumia 928 (Alum Body) or the HTC One with aluminum body,,, The one is a seksay phone...
[LG Revolution] capt730:
While I would have liked to, my phone froze to the point that I needed to battery pull at least 3 times this week then it wouldn't boot. Happened even after 2 v9 tot to factory. Plus work is giving 200 for the phone. My wife has had her DINC 2 replaced twice, so I am a little leary of HTC.
[LG Revolution] Kenpachi 91:
Yeah I'm waiting for the GS4 to be released on Verizon. This phone has really been nothing but headaches for me, giving me quite a bad taste for Android. However after playing with the HTC DNA, GS3, and GN2, Android really has made great improvements. Well, everyone besides LG lol.
[LG Revolution] capt730:
My wife just upgraded to the DNA. Very nice stock. Lack of external sd and non replaceable battery were the reasons I didn't consider it.
[LG Revolution] Mr Frog:
I just bought a used droid razr off swappa to hold me over until the S4 comes out. I've gone through lots of ups and downs with my revo over the past two years. I have to say, I am sad to see it go.
[LG Revolution] oilfieldtrsh:
yeah i was wondering what phone i should look at next also the revolution doesnt have jelly bean yet dont get me wrong i just think i will keep it as a backup phone and i cant upgrade or i lose my unlimited data i would like to get a developers input on it please and thank you
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
I like my DNA. Compared to the Revo, it's total night and day. I'm very satisfied and my wife absolutely loves her GS3.
[LG Revolution] tvmrfixit:
Does anyone know of a phone with the HDMI output and WiFi direct? Those features are great troubleshooting tools for my business diagnosing the new SmartTVs. One of the Razor phones was the last that I know of can't remember if it was the Razor Maxx or HD. When I do renew this contract I hope one is still available
[LG Revolution] tvmrfixit:
Now I read about MHL (Mobile Hi-def Link) promising... will be upgrading to a new phone soon but not jumping into anything till I try it out in person. I want to know its ins and outs before I abandon this phone for another. Lots of new stuff out there, just don't know what to start with.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
After the Revo I told myself that I would not get another LG phone ever but... I think I am going to get a G2 tomorrow... What a beast of a phone and it has a hearty dev community.

Found a place locally that said they would renew my unlimited data plan and sell me a phone at sub prices. Hope the follow through.
[LG Revolution] cyberwolfm636:
After verizon cut off my data plan and stuck me with 3gb. I terminated my contract. Im not spending 60 for a smart phone and then buying data at 30 dollars for 3 gb or whatever. i dont think so. As for the revo. Im stuck with it and I didnt have very much expectations for the phone and thats what kept me from smashing it. All in all its very strong, ive dropped it several times on hard surfaces and its fine. The battery life was decent with decent reception. I use it on wifi now and play games with it. I really think anything else newer with jellybean is a huge step up from anything that runs gingerjunk 2.3.x. I had 3 phones with it and each of them presented the same issues (VOD's, Dead screen, glitches, slow downs and crashes) it handles memory horribly and because of that, it slows down when theres only a couple of apps running. I think the G2 is a huge step up just because of a more fluid and streamlined OS. If the revo ever was able to use all of its 512mb, then ICS would be a hope on it. I doubt it as there is almost no support in the dev community. I would first scour the forums and find out the support for the dev community before deciding a phone. Any heavy dev community would have a huge options of upgrades to the OS. Ive seen some phones that were several years old with mind blowing features that would make any new phone sick just because of the strong support of devs. The OG droid 1 has Jellybean which if it had more than 256mb of ram, it would be a very functional phone even now. all because of strong dev support

Is it possible to use a web cam with the cm7 rom through the usb port?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SilentStormer:
What that's called is 'usb hosting' and as of now we don't have that working, we'll get that working eventually in the new 3.x kernel but as for now it isn't supported on any roms.

Sent from my CM9 Alpha 0.03 Nook Tablet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] billy8362:
Thank you for your fast reply.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kbitz:
I also think it would be cool to get IP Webcam support on the NT. You can use the IP Webcam app to use your Android phone as a webcam on a Linux machine, but it goes through V4L, which I don't think works for Android, sadly.
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Hey guys

- not experimental anymore as roots all latest ICS builds and previous unrootable GB roms!

This is classed as experimental as I cannot try it but those with above mentioned softwares can. As we know most of the ASIAN firmwares 1.14, 1.24, 1.28 and Thailand and some o2 DE and Vodafone Dutch firmware versions have not been rootable by Doomlords exploit. This can prove quite disappointing by some who want to flash custom roms etc or just want root on their stock rom. This supersu zip works with most recent firmware releases and on One X so there is a strong likelyhood it will work on SXL as well.

Original Thread here here and all credits to CHAINFIRE(amazing dev) for this. I have attached the latest supersu zip 0.88 to this post.

Procedure:

1. If not already done so unlock bootloader at HTCDEV website. full instructions given on how to do this on the website here

2. flash recovery from here

3. boot into recovery via bootloader and flash supersu zip attached to this post (download and place in root of internal sd before flashing recovery) and reboot. supersu app should be installed on device. run the app and update the binaries as prompted and that should be it. if any issues go to preferences and change su setting to grant from prompt and it should be ok.

please advise if successful so i can update or remove thread. please post what software version you attempted to root and region PLEASE

Extended flash procedure broken down

1. unlock bootloader at HTCDEV.COM

2. with phone connected to pc and usb debugging enabled type: adb reboot bootloader. phone will boot into fastboot mode showing fastboot USB in red border

3. type command: fastboot erase cache

4. flash recovery downloaded aboved by using this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery_for_1.28

5. using press power button to select hboot highlighted in blue

6. vol down to recovery in green and power to select. recovery should launch

7. install zip from sdcard and choose supersu 0.87 or 0.88 and install

8. reboot and enjoy full root

my adb not recognizing my phone
[HTC Sensation XL] alfchin:
Here's the new root tools

no need to use custom recovery,just run the bat file

usb debug and unknown software source is required

I've try it on 2.28.709.1,it works
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Appreciate any help but why try and confuse things if posted solution works. Recovery method is offered because most will prob flash a custom rom so will have recovery already.
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Be more specific please. There could be many reason for this. If use recovery no need for cables and adb. I could write a few solutions to this but need to you to be more specific

I ran the bat file and it did not work giving plenty of errors.

Please help.
[HTC Sensation XL] stona175:
you have unlocked bootloader?
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
As I've said the procedure is simple enough without complicating things further. If it worked then brilliant but with things working as I've stated I haven't seen the need to alter things. Anyway still in recovery so will not be support as much
[HTC Sensation XL] rlamba:

Yes, I have unlocked my bootloader using htcdev site.

I have tried the bat file option and it doesn't work so don't post in here as I.can't offer support for something that I have not posted. It installs the old super user app which doesn't work with latest builds

[HTC Sensation XL] tezzad:
Hi there.

I have unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev website.

I flashed the linked CWM recovery.

I placed the attached CWM-SuperSU-v0.88.zip in root of my phone.

I booted into bootloader (holding down volume key)

I highlighted 'recovery' (which was written in green text) and pressed the the power button to select it.

My screen went dark for a few seconds and the phone switched off. When I booted it up again, I could find no supersu app anywhere on my phone.

Can anyone tell me where I might be going wrong?

I am using a UK o2 Sensation XL with official ICS update.

EDIT: My image must have been corrupted. I tried a different one and it worked like a charm.
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
i am gonna edit OP and ask orb to sticky this thread. people should erase cache before flashing new recovery to avoid any conflicts with old one. command will be added to OP
[HTC Sensation XL] timetotime2002:
1. unlock bootloader - done

2. with phone connected - done

3. type command: fastboot erase cache - done

4. flash recovery - done

5. using press power button - done

6. vol down to recovery in green and power to select. recovery should launch

phone screen went to dark

what am i doing wrong ?

sensation xl (hboot 1.28.0006)
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
What recovery have you installed? Is it the Paul O'Brien one if so thats why it doesn't work... Use this one instead

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1041596&d=1336184770

Ive unlocked bootloader and then flashed recovery which seems to have worked but when i click on recovery it flashes up with the HTC white screen and then goes dead. when i click the power button again it loads into android. What am i doing wrong? Please Help.
[HTC Sensation XL] falahnt2:
Hi,

I have another another problem after flashing the Recovery. I can launch the Recovery but I cant access /sdcard/ , I got this message:

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1

E : can't mount /sdcard/

Any one can help Please...

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Are you using the touch recovery?... if so that is your problem

Download this http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1216504&d=1343047739

and flash over the other recovery and you then should be able to access SDcard whilst in recovery

hi shingers5 sir plz help me i have done bootloader unlock successfully now i want root my phone my phone software ver mension above post.
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
remember you have to uninstall htc sync before trying this rooting method or any for that matter
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
after unlocking bootloader then should have correct drivers installed. if htc sync is present remove it from pc and reboot. then continue with instructions................. if click on super su link the app is also updated by chainfire. try using older .87 or later .89, .91 etc. one of them will work

also after installing zip try update app via market or try install aok posted. also can find latest definitions and flash zip
[HTC Sensation XL] bhaumik555:
My SDCARD memory shows only 8.88 GB. Previously it was shown 16 GB. What gonna wrong with my phone?
[HTC Sensation XL] farazhassankhan:
I have unlocked the bootloader and followed rest of the instructions till flashing recovery_for_1.28 but CMD shows error mentioned in screen shot. What am I doing wrong here?

Oh by the way, I had mistakenly flashed recovery before erasing fastboot chache and now screen goes black if I try going into recovery fromy my phone. Please let me know. Thanks a bunch
[HTC Sensation XL] fshami:
Bhai sahab, enter the complete file name recovery_for_1.28.img, u missed the extension..

For the screen going black, r u sure that ur hboot is ICS x.28 & also the radio is for ICS? i had this issue when i flashed ICS radio over GB Hboot.. then had to flash ICS recovery as well
[HTC Sensation XL] farazhassankhan:
Shami Bhai, thanks for writing back and here is the detail of my phone.

Runnmede PVT Ship S-ON

[HTC Sensation XL] farazhassankhan:
Shami Bhai, I have succefully installed CWM and there is SuperUser file present in phone. Can I go ahead and flash any ROM now? Let me remind you that S-ON is still there?

Please let me know Bro? Thanks a bunch
[HTC Sensation XL] fshami:
Yes u can flash any rom now. But from our experiences of bricking the devices lolz. Better flash S-Offed hboot from unlimited.io
[HTC Sensation XL] farazhassankhan:
Thank you Faisal Bhai. I S-Offed and trying different ROM for last few days. Thanks man. Stay blessed.:thumbup:
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
still working like a charm as just rooted software version 2.31.401 without any issues. used multitool to flash recovery and then install zip. run supersu app then update binaries and VOILA!

now to try sense 4 to see how far its come since we left :D
[HTC Sensation XL] GIO Tarakji:
mr shingers5

im running on ics 4.0.3 and i want to stay on my rom .. i wont to change it .. i just want to root my original rom .. can i do it by using ur way ?? please tell me as soon as possible .. im waiting
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
in order to root you need bootloader unlocked..............then flash recovery for your hboot 1.25 or 1.28. then you can flash the root zip and keep your same rom. once you flash and reboot go to market and update supersu app then open it and update binaries and DONE
[HTC Sensation XL] GIO Tarakji:
hello sir . plz im a new user for sensation xl and i need to root my phone . actualy my english is bad . anyways

i need u to tell me what should i download to my pc . then tel me what should i do on step by step . thx for helping . best regards . and sorry to boring . but really i need ur help . btw my htc is asian . and i dont want to lost my stock rom . i just want to root my softwear . waiting ur replay . btw . my hboot is 1.28 . and when i will put the command .. shall i user the normal CMD on my pc ? thx again
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
first you need android sdk as it has adb tools. then you need to unlock bootloader from htc website. then need to flash recovery for hboot 1.28 and flash supersu zip from recovery. use multitool 1.9 as its easy to unlock bootloader and flash recovery.
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
You don't need android sdk with XL Muli Tool, adb tools + fatboot are included in the tool so it works standalone with no dependencies. :)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
i always download sdk as XL is not the only phone he/she will own and some devices depend on it. its always a good place to start for a noob. no point cutting corners at the start to later have issues................full tried and tested advice is what i have given :cool:
[HTC Sensation XL] FireStone00:
I am a noob.

I made a update on my phone at 4.0.3 ICS and before this my phone was rooted.

I really don't know what means to "flash" or other things , if somebody can tell me at like noobs really help me.

I have S-OFF after first root when was on gingerbread.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation XL] GIO Tarakji:
Hello. I rooted my phone. And every thing is okay. But after I rooted it . 3g is not working anymore.

so please any suggested idea
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Listen dude that's me and I advised as to how I do things and have never had an issue. Long winded but safe as I've tried and tested. He may not know how to take tools from multitool so having generic SDK he is covered regardless. If you offer an alternative do not reply to my post just post fresh so he knows its another option. We all do things differently and for the vast amount of phones I've used this has never failed me.
