Is it necessary to unlock your bootloader in the first place, can't you just upgrade from 1.73 to 1.85 without unlocking and then re-locking?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] freshleysnipes:
Nope, it is not necessary to unlock your bootloader to upgrade to 1.85. But if you plan to unlock it at all, you need to unlock it before upgrading because you cannot get root access on 1.85 without having CWM Recovery installed. The guy I replied to already unlocked his before upgrading so he needs to relock it to install 1.85
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vocalshock:
Okay I thought you had to be unlocked before uping to 1.85 because there is no root for now on 1.85 but if you have an unlocked boot then you can root through cwm..

Hi everyone, i just need a clarifying answer: i have a no brand european one x (i'm running 1.29.401.7) and i didn't get the latest ota yet, so i tried to flash it through the stock recovery, but i got "cid error".

Now, my cid is HTC_016, how come i have an european version and (for what i know) a south african cid? Is that possible?

I tried the european RUU but it can't be installed, so, what strange combination do i have?? :confused:

Edit: i discovered my phone has a Vodafone South Africa CID, why do i have a 401 european software version?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] Sultan OS:
I think your cid is for South Africa, this is why you didn't get the update

here is the list for cid

Its for the Sensation but I think its the same for Hox
[HTC One X] thebertozz:
Yep it is, so i don't understand why is it an european version anyway.. is cid different from branding? My software is the same 401 like the Eu no brand versions.. this phone is a mystery :)
[HTC One X] Sultan OS:
The South Africa has the same software number as the UK 401 but it has different

cid htc_016 and UK htc_001

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KushGod:
is it possible to switch from cm7 to ics? i just rooted my nook color to run cm7 and now i want it to run ics. if there's a way to instal ics over cm7 could someone please give me instructions on how to do it please and thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
Check in Android Development the topics for double boot guide.

You could make an Sd card with both CM7 and CM9 and select which to boot every time.

For me, it doesn't worth to pass totally to CM9 as its not full stable.

Unleashed from my Nook Color at 1.2G
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
If you decide to do this, make a dual boot. I'm 100% certain you'll want to go back to CM7 after you try the CM9 kangs...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmuflyer:
If you have CM7 on the emmc (internal) you can flash the update just like any other update eyballer has a thread about the process. On SD the verygreen install script might not have enough room in the boot partition for the CM9 nightly.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
Cm9 its not an update of cm7.

He will have to first wipe everything before the change to Cm9.

Unleashed from my Revolutionized Desire HD
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
Not true, you can install a CM9 nightly over a CM7 system. Most settings stick, but some apps won't work right under any version of ICS.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
I believe Viper is correct. Can't just update CM7 to CM9 since they are totally different OS, and even worse, entire different kernels.

Get the "modified" verygreen image, made by leapilar, it should be able to handle both CM7 and CM9.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Stolenmoment is correct. You really don't have to wipe data. Many people have done it without wiping first and had no problems. But it is probably a good idea to wipe anyway, just to be sure. Backup your installed apps with Titanium Backup and restore them later.

The cm9 install zip does not back up the cm7 gapps since they are the wrong version. Then it formats /system so it starts clean before it installs itself there. And it replaces the cm7 kernel with its own. So the only risk you are taking by not wiping data first is the old system settings are still there in /data and may not play well with the new cm9 system apps. But they almost always do ok. If they don't, wipe later.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
So, we are saying the same thing.

Just that Wipe is not needed to be performed by user, cause install of Cm9 formats anyway the system.

But settings from previous system should be cleaned in order to be sure that new system will work fine.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Entire different OS and kernels, I don't believe we can say "CM9 is an update of CM7". They are 2 different things. Do you agree?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes, I agree they are different. And I never said 'CM9 is an update of CM7'. But it still does not change what I said above.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I've flashed a CM9 update straight over CM7 twice by accident (I'm always shuffling backups and rearranging things on my internal dual boot). The first time I was plagued with FCs, including Market/Play, but the second time everything worked just fine. My apps, launcher and homescreens were all just as I'd left them, but ICSed. With CM7 already running on my other partition set, though, I decided I'd rather build the CM9 side from scratch, so I wiped it.

I've been using CM9 nightlies as my daily driver for a couple months, and it's not as stable or fully featured as CM7. My main reason for sticking with CM9 despite performance issues is I love the ICS Google Apps, and most of the time I find my touch response is better (though that may be due to my running Nook Screen Recalibrate at various times on CM7), especially in Mantano Reader which is usually my biggest use for the NC.

I might have trouble using CM9 as my daily driver if I didn't have CM7 a reboot away, though, and I have had to make the switch on the fly more than once.

You can check out my dual boot guide in my sig, but it's one of the more involved things you can do with the NC (short of rolling your own ROM ;) ).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] behmer:
I understand that roms are not fully compatible across different Galaxy Nexus variations, but are kernels? I would love to try some of the Verizon kernels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
From what I understand, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Should be fine. The glados kernel is cross compatible with the sprint nexus so I would say yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
most are. i know that trinity, glados, and franco kernels are. but it all depends on each developer to make it compatible across all the different galaxy nexus variations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
All kernels should be compatible across all devices. I compiled 3 boot.img files, one for maguro, one for toro, and one for toroplus/torospr and all three had the same md5. The only issue you may run into would be a kernel that isn't compatible with a ROM. The stock AOSP kernel doesn't seem to work on CM9 due to some slight changes to the ramdisk, but a CM9 kernel should work fine on stock, and everything else from what I've seen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brockg:
Hi guys, thanks for your time.

I'm debating heavily whether or not to buy an unlocked phone. I am thinking of ways to lower my phone bill if I do. I'm still in a contract with AT&T and I already read someone mention getting the $10/mo unl data plan for non-smart phones since AT&T can't 'see' that I have a smartphone.

My question is, does anyone know if i need a phone plan with my contract or will a data plan suffice? I am thinking of making all calls/texts through google and/or skype so I wouldn't need a phone plan right?

How practical is this? Anyone doing this at the moment? Only downside i see is areas with bad data coverage you may not be able to make a call :/.

This zip is for those of you that have recovery installed on your one x and would like to push files, make themes, ect via recovery vs pushing them in adb.

Just open the zip, drop in your files and flash away.

Hey XsMagical I use this updater script for my bootanimations etc as stated before. I never tried a downanimation until yesterday. The script worked and pushed the downanimation.zip to system/customize/resource but it didnt "stick". Once I turned phone off the old animation played.

Stumped as to what could have happened I went over everything and made sure it was ok. Finally I just renamed the pushed downanimation.zip to hTC_downanimation.zip and it stuck then.

Is there something missing in the script that would allow the downanimation.zip to be used instead of having to rename it?

The bootanimation.zip works fine flashes over to phone and sticks. The downanimation.zip however has to be renamed to hTC_downanimation.zip for it to stick.

Thanks :cool:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tiffany84:
Whatever its named is what it needs to be named to overwrite it. In the code its looking for a particular name so if u name it something other than what the original is named it won't recognize it. So obviously the script is ok because it pushed it there but the name was wrong. Try using the original name and see if it over writes it. Hope that made sense.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eraste:
Yea it made sense lol. I asked because in the zip I can leave bootanimation.zip that name even though the name on phone is ATT_bootanimation.zip, when flashed it will place the bootanimation.zip in the right location and make ATT_bootanimation void not replacing it but both zips in same location. Phone then will use the bootanimation.zip instead even though both are still there.

With the downanimation.zip in the updater zip it has to be renamed to hTC_downanimation.zip thus replacing the existing zip to work.

No major problem was just wondering y the phone would recognize and use bootanimation.zip over the still existing ATT_bootanimation.zip that doesn't get replaced but not the downanimation.zip

Thanks for your help

Ross.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] paradox183:
I am admittedly not very well versed in cellular technologies, but I know a few things. When I click on "Select radio band" it gives me a menu with the heading "Set GSM/UTMS band". With the EVO LTE being a CDMA phone, what good would it do to change a GSM setting?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OMJ:
nice find....almost like a roam only hack. When I choose 800 I immediately start roaming, which at work gives me much better signal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jasonkc25:
Hmmm...I did this, and I did get much better reception but it also immediately went to roaming. When I went into settings and forced it to use the Sprint network only...all signal was lost.

Not sure I want to force roaming all the time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sesax:
Sounds like Verizon's 800 MHz signal has better coverage in your location than Sprint's signal, and you're forcing it to roam (they have reciprocal agreements).

Definitely YMMV, but hey, it should work fine. Note that Sprint has the option of terminating you if your roaming minutes go too high.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KERKEDAGAIN:
^^THIS^^ applies also to Data usage
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KERKEDAGAIN:
To reverse the effects, just press the multi-task button (or redo the first steps) and choose Cellular 1900. That should put you back on Sprint's spectrum.

I'm not suggesting full-time roam, but it does help if you're ever in a low signal area on Sprint..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jasonkc25:
I immediately reversed it. It's a good trick to know if you're ever in a spotty area and need to force roaming though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tucci999:
as did I but now if i roam i have no signal and just the x over the bars, anyone know if there is away to reset it to switch on its own?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] El_Colombiano:
Don't do this! You can't get it to automatically switch between the two after you choose one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:
As a part of sprints network vision they are slowly converting their iden network (push to talk) which is on the 800mhz band to a voice band which will soon result in stronger signal and better coverage for voice. So this will be a good tweak in a few months once that is fully carried out but for now it's just going to throw you on verizon if you select 800mhz
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DJ1994:
People have been saying this since the 3d I'm wondering when that will go into effect. With LTE or? Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] david279:
It won't go into effect till Sprint kills off the iden network and that's early 2013.

I hope this helps, I had the same problem after forcing data roaming.

Before trying this; if you use Google Wallet, please go RESET it now, and sync all of your data because this will reset your phone back to stock.

Now try a Reverse Logistics

1. From your phone dial pad enter ##786#

2. Select Menu from the top right corner

3. Select Reset

4. Enter your MSL code (you can call sprint to get this or root your phone and use MSL Reader)

The Phone should reboot and clear all data and system. I know you can just do a factory reset but I did the same thing and for some reason the factory reset and stock RUU did not work for me I had to do the ##786# which got rid of the X, but the data would not come back on, but since I got the phone data has been spotty, but the new PRL has fixed that somewhat.. I've bricked about 3 phones since the launch date trying things I know I had no business, but my curiosity has allowed me to find fixes for a lot of problems except for the NFC bricking problem with Wallet (SO PLEASE RESET GOOGLE WALLET BEFORE DOING THIS RESET).........

Good luck and let me know it this gets rid of the No Signal problem from manually switching frequencies.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildbill12:
Had just flashed the latest CM9 nightly (clean install, fresh wipe) yesterday and everything was running fine.

This morning, woke up, my phone was turned off. When powering it on it hung on the google screen. Fastboot still working, booted into recovery only to find that I would get error messages when trying to load my backs "E:unable to mount /sdcard". Apparently it also couldn't mount /data. So I was unable to flash any images or restore or boot up.

Seeing that fastboot was still working I assume I'm not bricked yet. I tried flashing a new boot and cwm recovery via fastboot - no dice. Same errors.

I don't have a recent backup of anything in sdcard, but at this point I'm willing to sacrifice it.

Found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1078213

and I'm trying to follow the steps to flash back to stock GB. using the GRJ22 images

It flashed the boot and recovery without issue but seems to hang while flashing the system.img. I know it's a big file, but it was up to ~2hrs with it still transferring. I pulled the plug on it and tried again, lost patience after an hour.

Now I had the idea of maybe locking and unlocking the boot loader would help things.....not sure why I thought this. Anyway, now it seems to hang on the unlock bootloader screen.

So my question now - am I screwed?

- anything else to try?

- is it really "hanging" or do I need to give it more time?

- have I screwed myself even more by now locking my bootloader and flashing the stock recovery?

Any help would be very much appreciated....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildbill12:
Some new additions and new insights from the reddit android community:

- this probably has nothing to do with CM9. My phone has been wonky for about two weeks - random reboots, sometimes rebooting into recovery. That's why I thought I'd throw on the latest nightly and do a fresh wipe yesterday.

- There's definitely something up with /data. Anytime I tried wiping all/factory reset in cwm recovery I got errors about not being able to mount /data or being able to find files in /data

- basically anything I do involving /data partition causes the phone to lock-up -- flashing the boot.img and recovery img worked, but not system. Also, I think the reason I can't re-unlock the bootloader is because during the unlock process it tries to do a factory reset/data wipe

Basically I think there are two things I need to know if I can do - 1) unlock the bootloader again, via some way that won't try to reset the /data partition and thus won't freeze the phone. 2) try repartitioning /data

I really hope I didn't screw myself by locking the bootloader. I'd actually feel a lot better if it was something in my phone that just failed hardware-wise rather than something I could've fixed if I wasn't too quick to try poorly thought out ideas.....

Any help at all would be appreciated!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Possibly (and likely) a corrupted nand flash. Fairly common problem sadly. I'd say it's a good thing your bootloaders locked, no dramas sending it back to samsung. It might've been possible to reset the partitions and flash fastboot images but i don't think i've seen anyone who has done this to sort any similar problem. Hopefully your phones still under warranty ;)
