[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] claudiuslu2011:
just use the one click root tool by kennethpenn, work perfectly thanks. use titanium back to do a backup of all the app and system then took out all the att bloatware. i have few questions at this point.

1.

will i be able to get OTA updates from att? what will happen to all the bloatware that i deleted? would they appear again?

2.

what happens if i do a factory reset on the phone? would i brick the phone? under normal condition that will erase all apps i installed and return it to factory setting, that means all the att bloatware will be back? will i lost root?

3.

what other things i can do after i root the phone at this point?

thank you for your help
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] claudiuslu2011:
no one can help me with those questions??? anyone???

i am sure a lot of people have the same question.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig0r:
1.

will i be able to get OTA updates from att? what will happen to all the bloatware that i deleted? would they appear again?

I'm not 100% sure on this, but as long as you're running an actual AT&T ROM (not an Asian or Rogers ROM), you'll be notified of the OTA's. Now, if you're not using the stock Recovery image (that is, if you've installed CWM Recovery), you won't be able to apply the update. OTA updates get applied via the stock Recovery image.

2.

what happens if i do a factory reset on the phone? would i brick the phone? under normal condition that will erase all apps i installed and return it to factory setting, that means all the att bloatware will be back? will i lost root?

If you do a factory reset from CWM or within the phone's UI, you're fine. Root will remain in place, and you won't brick it. It just clears the user data from the phone, and should leave "sdcard" intact. However, I'm not 100% sure what happens if you do a factory reset from the bootloader. So just don't do it that way, unless someone else can confirm that it's okay.

3.

what other things i can do after i root the phone at this point?

You ca use apps like AutoKiller to change your memory management, for one. That's about all I'm doing with root right now. If we ever get custom kernels, you'll be able to overclock your CPU. If you search the Play Store for "root," you'd doubtlessly find some other root apps that you may be interested in.

Hope this helps!

Don't ever ever ever install an OTA on any rooted Android device. At the least, it won't work anyway, or you will lose root. At the worst, you will be stuck in a bootloop. Updated ROMs (based on the OTA's, but rooted, and safe to flash) usually get posted in Development soon after the OTA's go out. That is what you want to install.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] maratd:
I can confirm that it's OK. My phone was rooted and stuck in a boot loop. I did a factory reset. It was reset and still rooted after the fact. So you can do it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] claudiuslu2011:
thank you all
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Just to clarify, pre-rooted versions of the official ROMs (which often get posted on XDA, as I mentioned) may need unlocked bootloader to install, so this will possibly not be an option for a while. Although there may be alternate safe ways to update (but not OTA). For instance, a leaked 1.83 firmware version is already available as an RUU in the Development subforum. Apparently, its okay to install via RUU, then re-root.

In general, the safe thing to do is to read up on here when updates are released, and see if there is a safe way to update on a rooted phone.

I am wondering if there is any way diary entries can automatically be entered as anything other than 'meeting invites', or whatever the term is? As it is, if I put an appointment into the phone calender, it comes up as a meeting invite and I simply want it to default as an appointment. I have gone through settings and can see no way of changing the default.

Many thanks! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] CoogiMane1996:
Anyone up? The Phone looks Brand New has a Zagg Invisible Shield on Front and a OttorBox That come with it free when trading.:cool::cool::cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
That wouldn't be anywhere near a good trade for you unless you are just trying to switch companies to AT&T. That is one of the low budget android phones and the photon is a top of the line phone. I would rather get a better phone with AT&T than that one.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
aggreed! y on earth wud any one give up their photon for that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
shouldn't be a good deal, I think. Only if switching company, but I would still recommend a photon. No idea how good sprint works since I'm out of USA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xopher.hunter:
Maybe because it is also a tegra 2 device?
[Motorola Photon 4G] CoogiMane1996:
BINGO!! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] CoogiMane1996:
I agree with all you guy but there are a few thinks....

1.I was forced to sprint due to Divorced Parent

2.Forced to choose a phone and Couldnt wait for a Tegra 3

3.I'll admit the difference between the 2 phones

Samsung Captivate Glide Only Pro is Keyboard

Motorola Photon Better Battery Life,More Internal memory,Bigger Screen,More

So why am i still trying to trade when even i already admitted the Photon is better?

Cause i have a sibling that is willing to join my Father in sprint but i need to get my own GSM Phone (Tegra 2)

I would keep the photon if sprint would be nice to there

PAYING

customers and give the unlock code cause i know my father will eventually cut me off while out at sea and if i can join my mother's plan i need it unlocked, but as i said earlier sprint isn't friendly for that stuff. In the end its me holding a cut off phone and money wasted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rsjc741:
Dude, sprint is a company, personally, if my father gets more money from you with a CDMA contract... well thanks for buying my custom pc ;)

Or you could just go buy a GSM chip and put it in the slot...

Unlock the boot loader and go download Kitchen sink. Then select GSM.

So stop complaining >.>
[Motorola Photon 4G] CoogiMane1996:
Personally i had a G2X which i admit in the wrong hands isn't a pleasant phone. I say shame on all those people who returned there due to the fact that don't understand tech and want simplicity. If you want simplicity get a iphone or learn the damn thing:p:p.

Due to have that phone i grown used the the smaller screen and prefer the size of the phone. So a equal to it is the SCG ;);););)
[Motorola Photon 4G] CoogiMane1996:
What is that? (Kitchen Sink?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
I already know its a hard brick, no odin, no recovery, no hope. I was wondering if anyone has worked for sprint and would know if I dont have insurance, and just now get insurance, and then bring it in and act clueless saying I dont know what happened yadda yadda yadda, would they give me a new phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kidki14:
Well I'm very new to rooting and things of that nature but what does the screen look. Like
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Be a man and pay the deductible! Well I have no idea never had a brick or replace issue with Sprint ever, but from what it seems if Sprint can't get it to boot they will replace for you.

Are you sure you can't get into download mode?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kidki14:
I actually unbricked my infuse with Odin and I wasn't in download mode took a few attempts but I saved my phone :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jajosh66:
I personally don't work at Sprint, but if you play dumb and you make up a good enough excuse, their's an 85% chance that they'll give you a new one. I mean since it isn't physical damage, you're in luck. I say i's worth a shot. My E4GT is at Sprint right now, I completely reverted it back to stock and they had no clue on what was going on with it and they decided to give a new one. Just try it. Just lie and say something like "It was overheating, and it shut off." Good luck kiddo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
Am I sure????!!!!!! Of course!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
But with no insurance??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Take it in to a Sprint store that has a repair center. Act clueless. With no insurance you should only have to pay $35 since it's a software issue. You may even get a free replacement...I doubt that though.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
Once they fix it would they see it was rooted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
Cool dude. Lie so you raise our premiums. You f'd up your phone, pay up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
Actually dude.... I'm sending it in to mobiletech.com to get fixed for 50 bucks.... So chill. It was just a question about insurance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
I'm glad you're doing that, hope they can fix it.

In your op you said you didn't have insurance then said you're gonna get it, then play dumb. That's what I responded to. Thanks for being noble.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RussellEstridge25:
I didn't say I was going to. Just wanted to know if it was even an option. But I had already sent my payment to mobiletech.com and then asked my question on here. More to humor myself cause I wanted to feel I did the right thing. And i am. Never bricked a phone before so i apologize for my melt down. :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
Better luck next time bud
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Way to man up! Hope jtag works. Worst that could happen, if jtag doesn't work, is you go in tell them your phone won't work period, pay the deductible and you'll most likely have a phone fast. But you get to be honorable. Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crazycon51:
I again do not understand explain to me how someone who has insurance I on a device raises our payment that is the stupidest thing I have heard
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] knoc:
If u dont get he insurace when u get phone u cant get it after far as i know cuss every1 would do it right as they **** it up...

And tkemack people steal ****...atleast he got it legitinately pays his bill and sticks to sprint..ive had 2 phones replaced just saying im nkt receiving calls and late texts tell them ive factory reset it via sprint tech and they told me to come in... All because my hero evo and shift had minor cosmetic damages and my hero vol + bar broke off... They didnt ask **** just gave me and my wife new phones.. I also just *****ed about signal...my signal is fine there sending me a free airwave signal booster 200$ value

Not to sound like a **** just being funny treat sprint like walmart take back your used dirty diapers and demand new ones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
He clearly stated in the op that he DOES NOT have insurance. Carry on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
i know right? its not totally all the brickers fault but they are a large part of the problem. Take responsibility and pay the deductable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Docarut:
If you ultimately need to go to Sprint just tell them you are a flashaholic but promise to go to rehab if they can help you out....

Just as someone mentioned above when you buy your phone there is small window of time to buy insurance. After that time you cannot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
Firstly its amazing how many people seem totally unable to read based on the reply's.... Insofar as I'm aware you would not be able to add insurance and then make a claim, if you were noone would have insurance until they bricked or lost it, you know? Its possible that you would have to take it to the store to add the insurance so they could confirm that everything is in good, working order, or something like that, regardless i do not believe it to be an option for you. That said, how did you brick? Were you flashing from CWM on an ICS kernel? If that's the case your eemc chip is likely borked for good, and mobiletechvideos will be unable to recover it even via JTAG, for reference please refer to the following threads http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644364 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1504808. Not trying to be debbie downer or ruin your day, just hoping to help you save time by pointing you to the work that's already been done on hard bricks... I would suggest that, assuming its less than a year old, you submit a warranty claim directly to sammy... i say this for 2 reasons 1. Its their bug that most likely caused you to brick ( well that, and possibly not so much following instructions to the letter....) and 2. others w/o sprint insurance in the thread i linked to earlier have had success with it. good luck with it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
I hope your phone gets fix. I was annoyed by this but then I ran into this now I'm just speechless

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26081220&postcount=33

Guy talks about no need to use a phone case, cause if he drops and damages it bad enough he can always intentionally brick it and get a brand new phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eeeeeeeeek:
In some other posts I've mentioned I'm a preferred sprint retailer manager and a certified sprint technician. Depending on how it's bricked, if you had TEP then you could just take it in play dumb and likely a technician would order a replacement for you. The $35.00 fee only applies to Replacments and repairs. Software issues falls under triage resolution that does not accrue a $35.00 fee, assuming it could be fixed with a firmware reload. In your case, since it could not be fixed then the sprint rep could likely exchange the device for you based on software failure. Depending on who you deal with they may do it, they may say it's rooted take insurance claim. Another thing people don't know is, that after paying the $35.00 fee, in most cases TEP can be added on to the account. If you have further issues PM me and I might be able to assist.

Yep. Use just about any emulator from Yonghz and you can. N64oid works, so does Snesoid, and others. GameBoid and GBCoid don't of course.

I think FPSe works as well.

My brothers use N64oid and Wii-Motes all the time to play Mario Kart.

Hey everyone,

I installed this ROM and have noticed that in the newer versions v1.1.0 and v2.0 it seems that when you go to compose a text message in the recipient field when you start typing in the name of the person it does not auto populate the phone number info, as well as if you go into people and select the reciepent and select that you want to message them it will take you into the messaging app without and of the recepient information. Has anyone else experienced this or know of any fixes?

Here is the link to the ROM that I have installed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1507616

##UPDATE

I have tried this: when in "people" and I select the recipient and choose to use GoSMSPro the recipient information will get populated unlike when I choose to use the stock Messaging app.

I have read that if we flash this MMS.apk it will start to work.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ErikWithNoC:
Alright so looks like I did something completely stupid and now my phone won't finish the boot process. I was looking at some remappings for the recent key to the menu option and from a post in the development section I found a thread in the International One X development forum that had re-odexed files so that the recent key stayed as the recent key and holding the home button became the menu key. Since they were re-odexed and I had root access I figured I would just manually replace them on my phone with Root Explorer...bad idea. The files were:

System/Framework/android.policy.odex

System/Usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl

After I moved them and reset permissions I rebooted my phone and now it goes through the first couple of boot animations but gets stuck on screen that displays beats audio at the bottom.

I really need to know what to do to fix this. When I plug my phone into my computer it recognizes it as a new \drive, but I don't have access to any of it (still says I need to mount). I also have the android SDk and adb installed if thats of any help. I would really like to not lose any data so hopefully thats possible.

Please help me with this if you have any knowledge of what to do.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ErikWithNoC:
Just one little quick update. Even though my computer won't let me access my One X as a drive, when I use command prompt and adb to check for adb devices my One X is listed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tanman21:
Run the at&t ruu exe file, located in the Dev section.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ErikWithNoC:
Alright I'm downloading that now.

In the meantime, how do I get root access with adb/give it permission to overwrite read only files? I pulled the two files that caused this messed and pulled my backups, but when I push them back to the phone it tells me I can't because their read only. I'd rather do it this way since I will be changing only the files that caused the problem.

EDIT: Is the RUU really going to delete all the information on my device? If thats the case I would really appreciate figuring out how to get adb to push my backuped files to the /system directory instead
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
Yeah, the RUU returns your phone to factory (but doesn't touch your personal files)

EDIT: Also, just pulling this off the top of my head so take it with a grain of salt...

adb devices

adb shell

su

*grant the su request on your device*

adb push <from> <to>
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ErikWithNoC:
Thanks for your comment. I used the RUU and it kept my personal data so its not a big lose. Had to reinstall a few apps, but for most of them (games at least) my saved data was still there.

I tried a lot using adb and just couldn't get it to work. I don't the phone got far enough through the boot process for root access to be allowed. I was able to run the one click root tool while it was in its stuck boot phase, but it still wouldn't give me permission to modify the /system portion of the phone to be read/write.

All in all though this was a great learning experience. Prior to this happening I knew nothing about adb and now I know commands for pulling, pushing, remounting, shell commands, and other things. I also learned how to fix a softbrick (first one) and what RUU is.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adsada arc:
So thought I'd share this as I think I have figured out the best way to stick one on without bubbles! :D

Before anyone states that a screen protector is pointless because there already is one on blah blah, I disagree because I just like the reassurance that if the screen gets scratched it doesn't matter. Plus that preapplied screen protector is very good and well applied (obviously) so its a waste just to use that as a protector alone.

On my older phones I have always ended up scraping the screen protector because the bubbles annoy me so much, and they're a pain to apply. But with the XS I tried and got it perfect, thought it was just luck, but did it again and achieved a good result again.

First turn of the phone for 10 minutes (apparently the heat can cause bubbles) Wash your hands, clean a desk area and take your top of (wear a tshirt)

then clean the screen, its obviously but really clean it (I use a wet wipe and then dry it off with a clean cotton top) if you have the special cloth use this too.

Get a lamp and shine it on the screen check for any streak marks and polish these away until the screen is perfect. Blow gentle to remove any dust particles small hairs etc. I have found in the past that bubbles often have a hair in the middle of them which prevents the protector from not properly sticking.

Now the tricky bit, pull at the '1' tab to remove the protector sheet, but do this with that side facing downwards (so that any dirt in the air wont land on the sticky side) and lower it towards the screen.

Align the corners with THE TOP of the phone next to the sony logo and curve the protector so that the top of the protector touches the screen (the area around the speaker grill and logo. Double check that everything is aligned so it will fit perfectly when you lay down the rest of it. Don't worry about any bubbles here as they can be squeezed out easily (due to the speaker grill).

Now grab a card of some sort, my driving licence seems to work best and place it where the top of the screen protector has been applied. With the right hand keep holding the protector at the edge of it, and with your left hand firmly press down the card and slide towards the bottom of the phone. (be firm at this point don't worry the screen will be fine it can take this pressure!)

Slide all the way down and look at your job. hopefully there should be only a few bubbles around the edge, if there are ones in the centre then carefully peel it up and try again. (don't touch the sticky side obviously and make sure you don't touch the screen.

The bubbles around the edges and around the speaker grill can be squeezed out using the card. Go over it a few times and then pull the protector sheet '2' tab off. And there ya go a nicely applied screen protector!

I tried to be as detailed as possible but may post pictures later if people require them. :o
