[HTC Incredible S] Reaper6181979:
Just from what Ive read - I 1000% agree and I am new here lol
[HTC Incredible S] Reaper6181979:
Ok so my Info on the boot screen is

VIVO PVT S-On RL

HBOOT-1.13.0000

Radio 3805.04.03.27.27_M

So what I gather is since that hboot is not 1.16 it should be ok and i shouldnt need to to do the one step to revert it down to 1.13?
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Yes you can use revolutionary to root and install clockworkmod which can be used to flash a new rom or not if you just want to stay stock rooted.
[HTC Incredible S] thakur90:
Easy steps:

1. Revolutionary s-off

2. Custom recovery

3. Backup everything using recovery

4. Install any rom u want ( guide to install is in the respective threads)

5. Take a backup of SD card in your PC

6. Do whatever pleases you that is related to rooted phones

7. Have fun... You just future proofed your device for another year
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
That is correct. You can use Revolutionary.io to gain S-OFF and install ClockworkMod recovery on your phone and then you are good to go and enjoy the flashing of custom ROMs.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Yeah do revolutionary to get s-off, during the process it'll ask you if you want to install cwm hit yea and report your status here.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Another side note: with your h-boot its generally impossible to brick your phone unless flashing radios (phone dies during process) or ruu's .
[HTC Incredible S] Reaper6181979:
You guys or girls seriously rock. Thanks so much for all the help. Think I'm gonna try on Sat after my CCNA class getting my nerd on. I like the Rom by Nil that was advised will try that me figures
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Cool beans, just checked out nikhills trinity Rom and there is no kernel to flash. All you have to do is follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

Another tip: when revolutionary asks you for a code to enter (not sure if it still does) copy and paste it or your going to get problems.

Also during your first wipe before install you can't wipe something wrong, just avoid sd card wiping lol.

When asked to place your .zip of the Rom in the root of your sd card, its unnecessary, you can navigate to it anywhere on your phone.

When the Rom installs for the first time it will take 3-5 minutes on the boot screen.

That should answer most of the questions your going to have in the near future.
[HTC Incredible S] Reaper6181979:
A friend at work showed me his newly rooted Desire with http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/affinity.html Thinking maybe this one due to the fact it has its own Kernel built in. seems very fast and Uber. Anyone else had experience with it with the Incredible s?
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
Virtuous roms are quite brilliant..

You will not be disappointed...

its a shame that they longer are in the XDA forums,

team virtuous is one of my all time favorites
[HTC Incredible S] fridgie:
Having the kernel is common with most roms, you will find your phone is much more 'user friendly' once rooted and custom rom installed. I run virtuous affinity and didn't have to do anything but root,backup and then flash the rom.

Bloatware gone, speed and battery life increased, more customisation available and enjoyment of my device is improved tenfold.

You won't regret it but will wonder why it took you so long to get around to doing it ;) It's like a whole new device....
[HTC Incredible S] Reaper6181979:
Ok so here it goes But I am a bit confused still in the order lol Do I need to have the phone connected to the computer for revolutionary to work? or is seperate. Cant find a link or faq that shows how rev works
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
You need to connect your phone to your computer.
[HTC Incredible S] Reaper6181979:
Ya past that now and - Rev was giving me a hard time - the phone had one SN but my phone just came back from warranty so they replaced the board so it was another sn in the phone software then was was printed lol . Finally figured out how to get it into CMW and just did the backup and the wipe, Cache wipe now . Sweat is dripping lol
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Yeah you can wipe everything but sd card don't be scared lol
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Hopefully your lack of posting means your playing with your new Rom.
[HTC Incredible S] Reaper6181979:
Went Perfectly - Got the Add free stuff - just need to find the way or app to control the battery a bit but Loving it :)
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Yeah, what you want to do is get a app to control the CPU speeds. There are pages and pages and even more pages about it. Read up on it and get an app, I use set CPU its a paid app but its the original and awesome, if.you don't want to pay the antutu one is great and some roms have a built in app.

I recently bought this SGS2 off Craigslist. My current plan has no data. I was just wondering if T-Mobile will add a data plan to my existing account if I insert my T-Mobile simcard in. Hence I don't need a data plan because I'm always around wifi. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Madblaster6:
No they're not like att. You're fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kfgtboypsp:
Update:

I just put in my simcard, and surfed the web without wifi. And its using data. Might be paying as I use data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blchff04:
Yep you prolly have pay per use data (1.99 per mbb) you can have it blocked if you call CC. And just use wifi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blchff04:
I'd also be very very very cautious buying on Craig's list. If the seller bought the phone on an installment plan and quit paying for the phone/bill tmo will block the imei... pm me if you want me to look up the imei to check if its blocked or you can call customer care to check as well. Sometimes takes a month or two before it actually gets blocked if they account is still open. This is becoming an epidemic for tmo phones on Craigslist

I work as a sales rep we can look it up if you were wondering how I could check
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mike99:
Hi,

I have ET4G with Sprint, stock ROM, not rooted. Several days ago my wifi stopped working. Turning it on either thru the settings menu or from the home screen will not show the wifi symbol. Tried to turn phone on/off and in plane mode several times but no luck. The checkmark does indicate that wifi is supposed to be on. Taking battery out did not help either.

BT/3G/4G seem OK. Interestingly, I ran GeeksSquad app, and it told me WIFI was OK, but I cannot connect to any network and cannot even see the wifi symbol displayed.

Any ideas? I would prefer not to reset the phone to factory setting if possible.

Thanks

Sincerely,

Mike
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
You could try going to settings - applications - all - scroll all the way down to wifi. Hit force stop and clear data. Then go to settings - wireless and networks - wifi settings and try to re pair with your router
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mike99:
AAAAHHH,

Thanks a million! That certainly did the trick. Working fine now. Still not sure what happened.

[General Accessories] osm0sis:
Interesting idea! Wouldn't you still run into these problems having the dry protector as the top layer though?
[General Accessories] neccoguy21:
Yes, but I feel much better about replacing the dry ones while the wet one continues to protect the screen. I HAVE at one time or another scratched my screen between installing screens. Now that's gone too!

[General Accessories] Dethader:
What do you do for a worn ZAGG- I'm quite fond of mine however... Different things (Cough) a puppy... have scratched the screen a good bit. Im wondering if I can restore it anyway.
[General Accessories] rockstarar:
just xtremeguard worked the same for me...

and it cost a buck...

but everyone has their own choice :)
[General Accessories] neccoguy21:
I had a few dents and scratches on my ZAGG too. Not puppy damage, but a few scars. Putting a dry screen protector over it and doing what I had to do to get rid of the air bubbles inadvertently made the dents and scratches mold to the firm underside of the plastic screen protector. It looks brand spankin new.

[General Accessories] deekortiz3:

[General Accessories] veeman:
I don't use protection.
[General Accessories] xthemastax:
To be honest, using any water based protection is somewhat of a hassle if you mess up on something. I prefer the dry solution, you don't have to worry much except for the bubbles or alignment.
[General Accessories] emilv1:
Interesting idea, never tried it, but I think twice the screen protector is twice the headeck ,

Myself I have used most brands of screen protectors, after struggling and wrestling with the zagg wet annd the dry zagg that I have used for a few months they are all worthless to me, on my white iPhone 4s the zagg start to turn yellow by the buttons after a few weeks of use, and so on . I now have an unopened Galaxy Note Zagg at my house unopened, which I will probably never used worth $40, I had it with all of them, after all this I have learned that the cheap screen protectors that you get from the cheap chineess cell phone accessories web sites are the best, they feel like glass they cost $2 $3 or less and they do the best in the long run,they are also the easyest to install, that is my opinion.

Please escuse my bad spelling, ESL
[General Accessories] zizifos:
I dont care about a few scratches. So I dont use :)
[General Accessories] Bagbug:
just use an iShieldz instead
[General Accessories] gruntparty:
With Gorilla Glass no need to worry at all :p

Personally i think those cheap protectors you find on amazon do the job just fine. Its how you take care of it that makes them last.
[General Accessories] sniktawm:
Thanks!
[General Accessories] neccoguy21:
Sure thing! Glad I could help! On an updated note, don't use the mirror finish on the GNex. The curved screen makes a horrible rainbow effect.
[General Accessories] ItnStln:
Same here...I've never had any issues with them.
[General Accessories] sashusmom:
This is off topic. I love-love-love your signature video.

Back on topic- How does the dry protector adhere to the orange peel under skin?? I would think that it has many loose spots. I only used this type of whole kit protector on one phone- my old lg Incite- it had a cheap brittle plastic back and it worked well for protection. But I passed on the front cover and opted for a dry application one. I don't like the rubbery feel either.
[General Accessories] neccoguy21:
Trust me, it works. It's the same idea as installing the wet install by itself. When you finish the wet install, there are usually hundreds of tiny microbubbles under it at first. Once the rubbery screen protector has a day or two to to settle, it's as smooth as glass (for all intensive purposes anyway...ZAGG...). Putting a dry install over one has the same effect. Use an install squeegee or smooth credit card to push out the major bubbles, and the tiny ones (strawberry seed size and smaller) will automagically disappear in a day or two.

Remember important tips like don't remove the screen protectors front protector (usually a Step 2 pull tab) until you're absolutely done with the install to avoid early scuffs and burns, and remember to keep a couple of pieces of scotch tape near in case you find dirt or something under the screen. Apply one piece of tape to the nearest corner of the protector, slowly peel it back up until the dirt is exposed, and use another piece of tape to dab it out. Carefully replace screen protector. Leaves no fingerprints!

Also be sure to be in a lint and breeze FREE environment. A good idea is to run a hot shower for a min in the bathroom (without a vent) and let the steam weigh all the dust in air down.
[HTC Rezound] JonVito:
I'm sorry if this has been answered before but I'm using tapatalk and can't figure out how to search the forums...

Anyway, after reading this forum, I'm pretty hesitant to do anything major to my phone...I'm pretty content to just wait for the ICS OTA, however when I do get the OTA I would like to at least install Nova launcher and I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted for it to work...

So my first question is, if I do root, do I have to unlock the bootloader? And in doing so does that prevent me from receiving future OTAs?

My second question is about leedroid tweaks...I'm not a huge fan of my pink soft keys and I've read that leedroid tweaks let's you dim or turn them off completely...if I'm wanting to use that would I be romming my phone?

Sorry for sounding like such an idiot...I had a droid x and it was wayyy different from this phone as far as modding goes and from what I've gathered I can't just SBF my Rezound if I get into some trouble like I could on my X...I also had a lot of hardware issues with my X that lead to me going through a whopping 9 replacement phones, so my trust in electronics is minimal and the last thing I want to do is get stuck with a voided warranty.

Thanks for the help in advance and sorry again...I know from the video I watched to sign up that you guys get pretty annoyed with people like me but these forums seem like the most legitimate place for answers.

I don't even care about the flash counter. Here in New Zealand I'm protected by consumer law, if I have a hardware fault Samsung or their agent have to fix it ... flash counter is neither here nor there. Any eula cannot exempt them from their legal obligations. That's the legal equivalent of saying it's not murder if I get you to sign an agreement that I'm allowed to stab you.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] scottx .:
People sure do trip a lot on that counter. I've never cared if mine said 0 or 1000000.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] pinoymutt:
I don't believe it yet supports our devices because of the different architecture compared to that of most of the Galaxy S Phones. The dev (Chainfire) recently left on a month-long holiday, and right before he left he was able to add compatibility for the US/Canadian versions of the SGSIII that use Qualcomm processors (as opposed to the Sammy E chips) which housed the counter information in a completely different place than the international versions.

However, I do believe he recently added our devices to Mobile Odin (Chainfire is also the dev for this product), so he may know a thing or two already about our Tabs, so hopefully he'll take it up when he returns (we probably need to ask nicely in the Triangle Away thread and help him out with dumps and other info he may need to investigate this).

Okay I have a Sprint GNex and for some reason, recovery is not working. I unlocked via fastboot and am pushing the recovery via fastboot.

All of them give me the red exclamation. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

before flashing, remount /system with rw permissions, rename /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p.bak, reboot to bootloader, flash cwm, it will stick now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Then flash a firmware with Odin you know how to root. Or better yet flash entropy512's stock plus root package.

By the way you should be able to get into recovery by holding down volume up + volume down + power button - do not let go off any buttons until you see the recovery menu - the bout splash screen will flash at least twice before recovery comes up.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] x0xhellx0x:
this is made by Volk released by me with his permission

The Nullifier.

This uses a special command in combination with a special file to overwrite the internal partitions with 0's, hence "Null" for 0 and "-ifier" for the fact that it does something. It also formats *all* the partitions afterward and *new* checks for, and repairs any errors on them.

Some brief need to knows:

1. This is a little lengthy process so please bear with it. The longest wipe is on /data which will take about 7 minutes. Obviously, make sure you have plenty of battery life before running it or are charging.

2. You *must not* power off your tablet without first installing a new ROM or restoring a nandroid after you use this. See post here:

3. I will provide help, support, etc., but I am not, nor is anyone else involved with this, responsible for any problems you may have in the extremely unlikely event that you do.

Folder:

http://www.mediafire.com/?unsvbx50wt3hh13

Q: Why not just format everything?

A: Because a format isn't intended to erase data, though to a degree does so. This script is intended and will wipe out the data and leave a clean set of partitions for a ROM to be installed to.

Q: (Submitted by Cargohook) Would it be idiotic or fruitless to run this and then restore a nandroid backup? I mean, would that defeat the purpose?

A: I highly doubt it would be a waste of your time. On an educated hunch, when you restore a nandroid all CWM does is format the partitions then load the data from the nandroid to those partitions; back to square 1 with old data being left behind.

Q: Why don't I get a message about formatting /boot?

A: Because it doesn't format /boot. Why? In testing I found that it doesn't need it. It's all a matter of how Android uses boot.img and how it's copied.

Q: Does this wipe Dlavik?

A: Technically. Dalvik is contained within /cache which gets Nullified so, yes. And see the following post regarding not needing to wipe the Dalvik on top of wiping /cache:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1564287

Q: Does this wipe internal or external SD? (added because it keeps getting asked)

A: In a word, no.

Q: Will using this cause nand-failure or make my phone unusable if used too much?

A: In my opinion, no. In other's, yes. To give you a better answer, please see Overground's post on that subject here: http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=327
