How to root, unlock, upgrade to 1.85, and keep all your data:

Take a backup of your user data with these instructions. Then unlock (user data wiped), and relock in order to upgrade. Then install the 1.85 RUU (user data wiped again). Unlock again, use the same token (user data wiped yet again). Install CWM and then root through CWM. Finally, restore your user data according to the thread.

You'll be on 1.85, the latest, rooted and unlocked, with all your data, apps, and settings 100% intact.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Koizuma:
How long is this suppose to sit at the boot animation? its just sitting here and hasnt budged from it for a good 5 minutes after restoring. kinda seems like its bootlooped. the first time it sat there that long i just rebooted and wiped all the data and it started right up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] V@no:
They say it's deletes all user data for security reason. I wonder what kind of security they are talking about?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] matthewf01:
I know this is a basic ADB question, but I've read plenty of basic guides and troubleshooting, and no one seems to have recorded a similar issue:

If I list devices, my device shows up -- so a connection is there. It sends the dd file without error.

But when I do adb shell, it goes to the $ prompt, but then after a second or two, returns back to the regular cmd prompt. If I type 'su' quickly enough, it changes to # prompt, but same result --- returns to the regular cmd prompt after a few seconds, after which i cannot proceed with the given steps.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wietse1988:
Don't get it

I don't get it. I have not unlocked my phone. I wan't to backup my apps from my phone, so i could restore them later. I try to follow this guide, @ the moment I type adb shell it works, it just wont do anything su comman. It says not found. What do I do wrong? I want to unlock my phone, and keep/restore all my apps.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] con247:
You must be rooted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wietse1988:
So if your not rooted, there is no way to backup al your apps? Including data??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] con247:
maybe a 3rd party app can do a partial backup w/o root, but basically root is required for a thorough backup.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] silentecho13:
Pardon my noobness.

I never really had to use ADB before, so I'm a little lost at the moment. I just got this nagging notification for an OTA update, but I'd rather update to 1.88 on an unlocked bootloader, rather than 1.85.

Right now, I'm running on 1.73, rooted. Can someone point me in the right direction to get ADB up and running?

Thanks guys.

Edit:

I've managed to install the Android SDK and the JDK to go along with it I'm assuming I have to use the adb included with the SDK with command line to get this working?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mobilehavoc:
This is great. for Step 10 you can avoid having to mount the SD card and copy it over...just type "adb pull /sdcard/data.img ."

I have a backup now, will do the unlock over the weekend and try the restore!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] itzsnookums:
Quick question, how long should it take to restore on bootup?? and also i flashed right after unlocking and flashing a new rom then flashed the data.img...Its been over half an hour and stuck at the boot animation.....

EDIT: checked the desktop and clicked on the disk and the reason it wasn't working and causing issues is due to image being corrupted.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] matthewf01:
Solved this problem... my laptop's USB 3.0 port was a little flakey. I'd seen that before while copying to an external hard drive...

Moving to a USB 2.0 port worked great.

QUESTION:

This is an awesome, very easy way to back up the phone and restore quickly. I've actually used this method to restore ALL my crap in one go, to custom ROMs. Any major harm in doing this? Titanium Backup (at least the free one) takes longer to backup and to restore, and prompts me to reinstall all apps, instead of just copying them out to the destination...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ebaum1:
Not trying to say anything bad...but when I used this process....and restored, EVERYTHING was FCing. The home screen was bare...couldn't even drop shortcuts on it..The only way to solve it was to flash a new ROM. Nice idea, maybe my .img got corrupted...who knows. Just figured I would add my 2 cents.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abemore:
Does this procedure work on any device or just the One X?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Apo11on:
Samsung released the ICS kernel sources for the euro version N7000 2 days ago, just go here and search for "n7000"

Nothing for our i717 yet. There is an "Inquiry" link on the right of every file, allowing to request sources for a device. So, my question is - is it allowed/legal to request release of the ICS sources, given the fact ICS for our phone still hasn't been officially released?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
Doesn't hurt to try. Although if I were them, I'd be asking...who are you to ask?

My guess is that once the official ICS OTA is out from at&t, they'll release the sources to the public.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Apo11on:
The beauty of GPL is that there is no criteria/requirements for any credentials. Anyone is allowed to ask for a source code of a software released under GPL, and the developer must provide it, no questions asked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
It's allowed..

Fat chance them actually giving it to you, the gpl does not apply to software that has not been released to the public...

but you're allowed to ask, not like the feds are gonna raid your bedroom from a simple question.

And once it's released, you don't have to ask, it's just posted for all to download.

[Milestone XT720 General] rnggath:
I had been using Kang's CM7 for a while when I recieved a call and all of a sudden my phone looped. A friend suggested to reapply updates on CM7 through open recovery, which usually works on his XT720,... and so I did it. Unluckily, my phone ran out of battery in the middle of the reapplying process. When I turned it on again, it loops over and over again.

I somehow managed to get into the bootloader and flashed it with a CE stock rom. It went until the "please manually power up your phone" phase and my phone started looping back. I decided to try to flash it with some other roms but still succeeded only until the the "please manually power up your phone".

Tried to wipe data/factory reset from the system recovery (2e) but still it loops at the M logo. It cant find any update.zip too in the sd card (if it matters).

I did search the forum and tried a bunch of things, but to no avail. Any help?

PS: Sorry for the weird English :p
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
How certain are you that your battery was fully charged when you flashed sbf? I would start there. If you can't boot after sbf, I'm suspicious of battery. Some people might recommend removing sdcard.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Hi Guys

A question. Is the extended battery from Verizon a true Samsung product? I have inspected it myself and it indeed seems like it. I have a GSM Australian GNEX and have the opportunity to purchase one from Verizon.

Would it be exactly the same as ordering from Samsung? I'm not to keen in the Verizon cover either. I use a case if course so, no big deal. As long as the battery is what is supposed to be and the case cover is from the right place as well (as in Samsung) there shouldn't be a problem. :-)

Thanks in advance guys.

Sent from my Galaxy.....far far away...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wendellc:
Verizon battery is a genuine Samsung product but will not fit on GSM models.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
^ what he said and to add, yes the 2100mAh batt for Verizon is original as well as the 2000mAh for GSM. But you don't want to get the Verizon extended battery with back cover for your Australian GSM. They don't match.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
It comes with a cover though?

Ok, will putting that battery in damage my GSM model?

If the covers configured for the extended battery, shouldn't it fit? Unless, the covers for the LTE and GSM versions clips it size is different? I didn't think so but I'd definitely like to know if it is. Thanks for the information guys. Look forward to your responses. Really want to get an extended battery. :-) a real one. Haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Accord281:
It won't fit the phone period. The insides are different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:
Argh, I see. Well that definitely sorts that out. Weird, the battery I saw looked the same size from a quick evaluation. Really didn't look as wide as this picture looks. Oh well, there goes that idea. :-(

Ok, so where can I get the biggest, official Samsung battery from? 2100mah?

Thanks guys.

Sent from somewhere....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznlgcy:
The biggest official extended battery for the GSM model is 2000mah and you can find them on ebay, sold from South Korea.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:

So appart from these places and eBay etc, Samsung is the only other place for the extended battery? Or they don't have them either. I'm just a otter weary of eBay and little battery stores. Haha.

Can I walk into this shop? Or is it online only. Have you bought from there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I can tell you that, they have about 8-12 offices around the world, and many of them only offer online purchases, all I can tell you is hong kong is a office, but you can walk in and purchase in person, but some stock has too be sent out through other countries, as not all products are stocked, the battery could be official hong kong stock, as they are official over here.

I almost purchased a samsung i917, but there were a few problems and some were locked, I was at there hong kong office and went through 4 units, and went away empty handed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lambetts:

So...

I am running my phone rooted, but mostly stock (just some removals) with ROM 1.53.401.2 and he 0.15.3150S.19_10.31501S.06L baseband.

Its been perfoming fine ever since so I never bothered to upgrade to a custom ROM or the newer basebands.

Its an EU unbranded phone. As of tonight, with nothing special done to it it seems to have lost all cell reception. All I get is An x where the 5 bars are. Funnily, when I turn of my WiFi router and select wireless internet, I can get online and download data through the cellular inetnet connection. But not a single call or SMS will go out.

I have moved to like every location in my apartmant and outside and nowhere I can even get a single bar of reception or even a call through.

Does anyone have any idea WTH this could be, what could have caused it? Any ideas on where to prod and poke for a solution?
[HTC One S] brwetz:

Alrighty so here's a couple of questions sorry :P

My phone goes into landscape on everything but on the homescreen. Sense 4 on the 3d does so I'm guessing I need to enable this somehow but o can't fond any options.

Also I was gonna try and toggle LTE on just for the hell of it but o can't find any toggles. I think I remember Verizon not letting the thunderbolt turn its LTE radios off but this seems like it would be a bit of a battery waste.

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Since you're on an international forum, technically the phone doesn't work with any 4G carrier. 4G is defined as LTE or better. It's an HSPA+ phone capable of 21MB throughput on a compatible 3G network. Only in the U.S. is HSPA+ called 4G but what AT&T and T-Mobile are using is in fact 3G. They are the only two GSM carriers in the U.S. T-Mobile U.S. uses AWS (1700/2100) which isn't compatible with either One X (or most other phones). Their refarming their network so that data can be carried in the 1900Mhz spectrum. At that point most GSM phones will be compatible. But by the time their done the Two X will be out.

The Evo 4G which is a totally different phone supporting CDMA and LTE would work on VZW as they're a CDMA carrier also. Whether they carry a version of it or not is anyone's guess. Other than running Sense 4.0 and having a Qualcomm chip there's little in common between the One X's and the Evo 4G.

[HTC One X] TheAndroidSwap:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_(telecommunication)

LTE isn't 4G either.

"Although marketed as a 4G wireless service, LTE as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 and 9 document series does not satisfy the technical requirements the 3GPP consortium has adopted for its new standard generation, and which are set forth by the ITU-R organization in its IMT-Advanced specification."

But it is a forerunner technology(4G candidate system), along with HSPA+.

http://www.itu.int/net/pressoffice/press_releases/2010/48.aspx

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G#Data_rate_comparison

I personally believe that the term 4G should be discontinued and we should only refer to the actual cell technology instead of what is now a marketing term.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
I agree and knew by strict definition LTE as it's currently implemented isn't 4G. But, especially in the U.S., it's confused the hell out of people so to say HSPA+ isn't 4G and that even what's closest (LTE) isn't either would just confuse them further. LTE's a lot closer to 4G than it is to 3G where HSPA+ has nothing to do with 4G at all.
