Ok I see. Now I have 2 options: reply or shut up and leave. I'll do both.

Firstly I apologise for intentionally posting in the wrong thread (I had my reasons). I won't do it again, actually I won't post anything here again as that was a one time task for me.

Second, I see that you are ready and willing to give me lessons and increase your thanks meter between each other but before teaching me how much time of reading is necessary before you root, let me tell you that I was in xda long before you and I know very well both how much reading is necessary but I also know what the spirit of a community is. There are mods here who didn't get irritated as fast as you. From the speed of your answers I recognise that you must not be older than 25 which doesn't make you mature so @scott_doyland, your opinion is accepted but I was a noob on 2005 and I have performed the root procedure on more than 6-7 phones just by reading so I've done my homework plenty of times and you know what? You don't need 2 hours to root a phone. Actually I need about 30 minutes max including the reading I do on the instructions of each phone. Only on this forum I didn't find all the info gathered and before you jump answering on that, I'm not complaining about this but that's the reason I posted in order to get an answer and avoid the research of 200 pages. It's you guys that got inflamed about that. So take a lesson from a veteran who broke the rules. The idea of the community is to help each other even if the answer was given several times. Some people may not have the time to read or maybe they have read tons of info on other forums and they are visitors like me and can't spent the same amount of time in all forums for each phone they have to root. I'm adraid that if you can't accept this, you are also breaking the rules. Do you see my thanks meter? well, not even one of those thanks was taken from posts like yours. Every single thanks I got was from help providing to noobs and to people who didn't do their homework. Maybe you should visit some forums in the DHD section and see what the spirit of community is all about.

I'm sorry for disturbing the calm waters of your forum but you won't see me again anyway. As I said, I spent many hours on other forums of xda, that was a one time stop for me because I had to root this phone and leave and since this forum doesn't have the most friendly structure in regards to info availability (stickies, etc.) I had to ask. I apologised for posting in wrong thread but I also had to pass the message that people willing to become teachers will have to become students, that's why I answered

Now, go ahead, feel free to start attacking and exchanging thanks between each other. You see, I contributed to your community in my own way. Many of you will double their thanks meters by tomorrow. I don't have the time to continue discussion, I have other things to do so, mods, please feel free and delete this post at some point since it doesn't lead anywhere but just take my feedback if you want and organise better the structure of your forum (if you want).

Ok bro. I have a S-ON, Unlocked Bootloader just like you. There are no way to root after u unlocked bootloader (because u need to update to lastest Hboot in order to UBL). I'd tried all tools i can find on xda and NONE of them can be use to root. There also don't have any clear guide for S-ON with UBL show how to install custom rom and get root.

But after few days digging up the forum, i'd managed to install custom rom + root. I share with you:

After your phone bootloader unlocked via HTCdev, your phone sure will have either HBOOT-1.08.0099 or HBOOT-1.09.0099. You'll need a ClockworkMod recovery image on your computer to install rom + root. And you'll need a working Android SDK with Fastboot to do get ClockworkMod working on ur S-ON phone.

OK let's say now you have fastboot folder alr, and know how to use it.

1. Download lastest clockwork mod .img here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

2. put the file .img just downloaded to the fastboot folder.

3. Turn off phone, then hold volume down + power ---> wait the menu searching for the zip file (of course we ignore this) then press Power again to go to fastboot menu.

4. connect phone to laptop via usb cable.

5. Open fastboot folder, right click choose open command windows here.

5a. If you are on HBOOT-1.08.0099:

Copy this and right click to the command windows, paste then enter, ur phone will automatic restart to CWM menu:

fastboot -c "mtdparts=msm_nand:0x00100000@0x1ff00000(misc),0x00500000@0x02fc0000(recovery),0x00340000@0x034c0000(boot),0x10400000@0x03800000(system),0x02300000@0x13c00000(cache),0x09600000@0x16900000(userdata),0x00a00000@0x15f00000(devlog),0x00080000@0x02b00000(hboot)" boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img

5b. If you are on HBOOT-1.09.0099:

Copy this and right click to the command windows, paste then enter, ur phone will automatic restart to CWM menu:

fastboot -c "mtdparts=msm_nand:0x000a0000@0x1ff60000(misc),0x00500000@0x026c0000(recovery),0x00340000@0x02bc0000(boot),0x10d60000@0x02f00000(system),0x02300000@0x13c60000(cache),0x09600000@0x16960000(userdata),0x00a00000@0x15f60000(devlog),0x00080000@0x02400000(hboot)" boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img

Ok men, now u just download any rom u like, put it to ur memory card and flash rom like normal.

Remember that, everytime u flash new rom, u need to repeat the whole process from step 3 to step 5.

Hope this can help you bro. Cheers for our S-ON :D

BIG THANKS to this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1374926

Dear guy, your topic not yet help me to S-OFF my phone, but it gave me the temporary solution to install custom rom. Cheers to ur good work!!!

P/S: to the thread creator: Why u gave up so early bro...Xda-developers is great forum.
[HTC Wildfire S] andreasy:
Ok, because many people are confused and PM me about what's next after unlock, here's the answer. Don't try the Super Tool, it doesn't work. At least for some people.

Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582

and use that script instead. It will flash Busybox and su to your phone. That's it. You have root acces then.

@Ghekua: If you have unlocked your bootloader then you have already installed the apropriate HBOOT. Just run that script from the post I attached above and you will have root access.

Edit: Oh, sorry, I read your post before edit and got different meaning. Anyway, thanks, I used the post above which is much faster and easier and I'm done.
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
Ghekua, if you install a custom rom it will already have root access, no need to root a custom rom.

I rooted my stock rom just by flashing cwm and then via cwm flashed a root.zip file from xda.
[HTC Wildfire S] ghekua:
i know it bro haha. I just post the post there. But i wonder if there is any chance to keep the CWM for S-On so everytime we flash a new rom, we no need to flash CWM again.
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
Flashing a new rom does not wipe cwm.

Cwm is always there unless you flash a different 'recovery'.
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
...this is why people keep asking questions here. Please stop responding to these. Pleaseee?
[HTC Wildfire S] ghekua:
it's true for S-OFF bro. For S-On every time flash new rom need to fastboot to flash cwm again.

(i'd tried to install cwm by rom manager app, by flashable zip downloaded from clockworkmod website, no use)
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
I find downloading alquez's recovery and replacing the android_info file with the last RUU/update [of same], then flashing via hboot to be the simplest solution [since it works on marvel & marvelc].. I just keep that PG76IMG.zip on my sdcard and swapout android_info as needed [no need to sign or anything]. Of course then if you wanted latest-and-greatest [gsm] you'd root [Heritz guide works across board gsm & cdma], install your Rom Manager and reflash. But I like simple solution that works on both my wildfire s's ;)

I do agree this is a general topic and if anyone has read my simplistic thread responses, I've stated above philosophy repeatedly in various threads.. and it seems to always work ;)

[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
How strange. I'm s-on and I never have to reflash CWM. I've only ever flashed it twice and the second time was just to upgrade to a later CWM.
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
I've been losing signal a lot on 1.28 here in the UK on Vodafone and really don't want to exchange the phone because the hardware is perfect. I tried a new SIM yesterday, but that made no difference and because I don't want to swap out the phone I'm pinning my hopes on the new software. Is that sensible?

Also, I've tried some of the signal boosters available on the market and they don't seem to help. Has anyone had any success in this area?

Thanks in advance...
[HTC One X] ghost-5:
I don't know the answer to your question but I am on Vodafone and have noticed that the signal jumps between H, G and E loads
[HTC One X] toxic34:
I'm on orange and have the same problem which I didn't have with my S2.
[HTC One X] Tomo1971:
Firstly, Ive recently left Voda due to my then Bold 9900 often showing SOS and when it did show 3g, not been able to make a call, having to revert to GSM to make a call. The later was while standing within several vodafone sites.

Im now on ThreeUK. They have not got a 2g network of their own to fall back on and in most parts the roam onto Orange has been turned off.

Anyway, when I got my first HOX on 1.26 the signal was rubbish. Where I did have coverage before on a Desire S, there was non. Holding the two devices next to each other the HOX was approx 14dmb diffence in the RX levels. This meant where the Desire S had full signal, the HOX had half. Where the Desire S had half, the HOX had non or 1 bar.

After the update to 1.28 (i sent the branded Three handset back and bought a unbranded one) the signal was far far better. I have no updated to 1.29 via the RUU and its still great.

Most people found that the 1.26 to 1.28 (or 1.29) improves the signal, only a few are reporting issues with signal on the later updates.

Steve
[HTC One X] bigbamboo5:
Thank you for the response. Trouble is, I'm actually on 1.28 and am getting the poor reception. So I guess it's good to know that a software update can make a difference - I just have to wait for one to arrive... :)
[HTC One X] vis-tec:
It all depends if they changed the radio in the software update which as they suggest they improved battery life then it's quite likely that they did. If that is the case then it could be reversed but I doubt they will.do anything unless they have a large volume of issues.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Unbranded HOX here no issues with Vodafone. However at work indoor very poor but that's probably signal indoors is useless but when I get outdoor its fine. Can't wait for S-OFF so we can start testing different radios.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
Any update that brings a new radio/base and will likely improve signal :-) I'm not sure if these updates do have those things though.
[HTC One X] bigdyl69:
I'm running Android Revolution 5.2.0 which I think runs on the latest 1.29 base and I'm getting constant signal drops where I work in the UK. Never had it with my Galaxy S before. I haven't ever done an RUU update since original stock firmware. Would flashing a newer RUU help?

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] pastey:
I've also got this issue, though it would seem It's not everywhere, some places no drop out, others constant dropout. Had my work Iphone 4 (uses vodefone cell) sat next to my hox today and only the hox had issues with signal (although both were low when the hox did have signal). Almost feels like it's only certain cells, or possibly when only in range of one tower? ... Not sure...
[HTC One X] droidsamy:
Signal Reception issues resolved

I had purchased HOX on 17-May and immediately got 1.28 update. Since then I had signal reception issues. It continued even after getting 1.29 update. After testing my SIM with Galaxy S3 and observing asu/dBm values, it was confirmed that my HOX had the problem. I took it to official HTC Service center and they just reflashed entire 1.29 ROM (not just the update). That seems to have resolved my issues. There are no dropped calls. I am getting signal in all the low signal areas that I know off.

can you get into cwm?

if yes, go into cwm, connect your phone to pc, mount usb storage, download this file manager for cwm, flash it. it will open a manager. go to /system/lib/modules and rename x8oc.ko to something else (for example xx8oc.ko). now you should be able to boot your phone

[Blade General] Rdogg112:
I've been looking for how to control the LEDs on our blade for quite some time now, and, since I didn't find anything, I decided to try myself and succeeded.

Heres the How-to:

1. Install the Android SDK(Or just ADB)

2. Run "adb shell"

3. Run any of these commands:

Activate Backlight-leds(White): echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

Deactivate(White)	echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

Activate Red leds:	echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/red/brightness

Deactivate	echo	0 > /sys/class/leds/red/brightness

Blink:	echo	1 > /sys/class/leds/red/blink

echo	0 > /sys/class/leds/red/blink

Activate Green leds:	echo 255 > /sys/class/leds/green/brightness

Deactivate	echo	0 > /sys/class/leds/green/brightness

Blink:	echo	1 > /sys/class/leds/red/blink

echo	0 > /sys/class/leds/red/blink

Just a little tip: If you want to control the green or red led, you have to "deactivate"(Turn off brightness) of the White ones..
[Blade General] wbaw:
yellow is red + green.
[Blade General] Rdogg112:
Hmm, that makes sense, for some reason i can't get it working, the red led just keeps overriding the green

Edit: The only thing I'm able to make thus far is Orange with Red: 100; Green: 255;
[Blade General] frapeti:
is it possible to run this commands inside an android app or shell script without adb?
[Blade General] cyberkeeper1:
typically yes. you have to invoke the "sh" command when using an app so that it can also port root permissions to superuser to grant. i am working on that for my thunderbolt. my attempt will be to set the LED to full brightness (beyond the 128 setting that the system allows) and get the LED to stay on for more than the 1 second that it does. YES i am aware that setting my LED to beyond the default max can of all things shorten the life of it. i really dont care about that. i have insurance on my phone anyhow. so if i break it, i pay the copay and presto! new phone. :D

anyhow, back to the topic at hand...

so, i will get to programming that shell command pretty soon, once i figure out how to integrate and build apps to android... lol. i know how it works in theory, and know linux commands, but its another thing entirely to build something and have it work.
[Blade General] Edmund KemperMF:
Hello all, need a help solving a problem. I want to switch the back -led on and off. i can access the sys/class/leds/button-backlight and can change the brightness of the variable to "170", the thing is the variable's value is changin, but the LED is not glowing! ,i tried "1" and it has the same response. Lemme post a screenshot indicating my situation here!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jrhodes85:
I'm going to buy a g2x from eBay, as far as development is concerned.. how is it ? What's the progress for cm9/ics/aokp? I've got a LG Optimus T and well its an older device with Armv6 so we need openmax drivers... is this phone slated for official ICS release or is LG being stupid even for high end models? What can I expect with this phone and would anyone recommend this phone.. what are the pros and cons, battery and performance, Overclocking options, undervolting options
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
Most is stable with CM9/ICS/AOKP, we still need drivers though so that we can get a handle on full hardware acceleration and probably just little things that would help out.

The G2x most likely won't get an ICS update, but the O2x(overseas brother) is slated for Q3 this year. We'll pick apart the update for them and adjust it to work for us.

Since for some reason a good deal of our phones are different, you'll have to find the ROM that works for you. I have a good time with ROMs from the Eaglesblood team, but I've tried a few like Weapon and my phone just doesn't agree. Could be the kernel, undervolting, Over clocking or... well, who knows. Like I said, you have to experiment. Most phones can OC to about 1.5(a lot of kernels are 1.4 these days, I think) I'm not too sure on the thresholds of UV.

Pros? It's a beast. It can handle tasks quickly. Dual Core really helped android out. It's 4G so if you're with a service that provides it and in an area with it... you'll be zoomin'! We've got a selection of ROMs too. 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 4.0... You'll have to search a bit, but I'm sure you'd find something that fits you. The IPS screen is really nice too. You can get a pretty wide viewing angle and the colors are great.

Cons? 4G is kind of a battery killer, if you use something like Juice Defender, or just switch your data off whenever you really don't need it, you should be fine. Some ROMs have the option built in. I can usually get through the day just fine if I'm doing some web browsing, or texting, or a few YouTube vids. With ICS its a little bit harder. The phone's working a bit more to provide, lol. Our RAM is only 512mb so... While it works just fine, 1 gig would have been a bit better. Programs wouldn't have to get killed as much and I think it would ease up on the slowdown.

I hope this helps and that my information is on-point. It's a good phone and with the right after-market "love", it's a fantastic device, in my opinion.

How much are you getting your G2x for?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jrhodes85:
Yeah that's a LG problem..we need openmax drivers for optimus t phones but doubt will get em... its an Armv6 device

I am using Skype often. And I want it to be always on in the background as it makes it easier for my family abroad to communicate with me. However either android itself or my wife keeps shutting it down (don't blame her she is not very experienced user).

Is there any app or simple way to keep Skype on all the time, that even if it is shut down manually by user or task manager or android itself I want it to keep restarting itself.

I used search but I found only thousands of topics were people trying to prevent apps from running all the time in background, I want this one to do that! I will be grateful for any help. I want it to keep running on HTC Flyer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leyus:
Anyone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
If an app has an icon in the notification bar (which skype does), android process manager wouldn't kill it. That's why apps like tasker and 3G watchdog has an icon in the notification bar. Therefore, your wife must be using some sort of task manager to kill background processes. The solution will depend on the task manager she is using. Some task killers allow you to "white list" certain apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1ny:
Apps can shut down even if they put icons in the notification bar, if you are annoyed by this problem you know that.

What we need are an app that can monitor and restart selected apps if they aren't running.

There is task killer included in stock ROM but whether she is killing it or whether it's system I still need something (method or app) to restart it immediately after that happens.
