Depends on what you need from your phone. If endless customizability and mods are your cup of tea, root is a must. But most 'normal' users (the ones who are worried about 'warranty' & stuff) would be happy without root.

Unrooting

Is it possible to unroot the phone once it is rooted ? If I unroot a rooted phone, will I get the warranty back. I know that it is possible to unroot, but someone has posted not to unroot using the A9 ROM. I am totally confused.

If it is for Mi425, bbsrailfan may use it because he is searching for it.

The multiupload link which is posted here - It's the Karbon A9 stock recovery.

Can't do much with the A9 stock recovery. If you can post a link to the chinese version of CWM, I will try to translate it to english. Have you tried flashing it to see if it works?

Dude, don't get confused. You can UNROOT using the A9 method - and it has been verified by some of my friends here on this forum. But the A9 ROM is not compatible with the MI425, don't flash it!

Stock ROM

Thanks for the replay. Will I get warranty support if I reflash the phone with stock ROM once it is rooted. Also, let me know if anyone has got the stock ROM or is it possible to backup the stock ROM in my phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bbsrailfan:
Are you sure you need to root your phone?

Make sure you understand the benefits and risks of rooting properly before going ahead.

Agreed, once rooted, you can again unroot your phone, but it's not always easy - and there are many loop holes - there are chances that you may brick your device. I have 3 years of experience in Flashing and Modding Android phones and in spite of all that experience, I am still stuck with a dead phone.

So make sure you read thoroughly, understand and only when you get a thorough idea, you should proceed - at your own risk.

@Renjith: Flashing the UNROOTED stock ROM will restore your warranty, but unfortunately, we still don't have a stock ROM.

My phone is dead after I tried to flash the A9 ROM and I am waiting for a stock Spice ROM so that I can flash it to revive my phone.

thanks again,keep up the good wrk !!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bbsrailfan:
@Abeeshek: Point Noted - will upload some more sample pics taken by the phone.

I have extensively used both wifi as well as wifi tethering but haven't faced any connectivity issues in the short duration of 20 days of using this phone. (It's dead now after a flashing problem :cowboy:)

thanks bro,looking forwrd 4 it :)

m bit confused here :confused: !!! wht do u mean by..."(It's dead now after a flashing problem)" !!! :eek:

hows the battery life ??? (i know u have mentioned it that its good enough,but just to reconfirm :p ) would u mind sharing your 'battery status' screenshot if possible.coz most of the review says it performs like some mediocre battries inspite of being monstrous 2000 mah !!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bbsrailfan:
Thanks bro :)

Here's how I screwed up:

Messed up the tethering feature on my phone while cleaning up system apps.

As a result, everytime I tried to enable USB/WiFi tether, my phone used to freeze and the only solution was to remove the battery :(

Surely flashing the ROM back to stock would solve the issue (Am i not smart?)

Assumed that A9 ROM and MI425 ROM are the same. Flashed the Stock ROM posted on the A9 Rooting thread. (Oversmart...:o)

Poof! :eek:

Now it's not booting anymore...keeps giving bootloops.

(I know...that's actually something very minor, which devs face everyday...but in the absence of a stock flashable ROM - or a manufacturer-provided support service like SEUS/HTC Suite, I just can't get it back to life)

Guess I answered your 1st query in the 1st post...regarding battery life, check my post about the battery a couple of pages earlier...

CWM recovery

Thanks for all the help. I am a newbie trying to learn about the various aspects of rooting. Could you please let me know the use of CWM recovery. Is it for backing up and recovering the stock rom in case of a disaster. If that is the case, please post the steps. Thanks again.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bbsrailfan:
The CWM (or any custom recovery, for that matter) does much more than 'backup and restore in case of disaster'. Here's what all you can do...

You can flash stock as well as custom ROMs, custom add-on packages (such as the HTC Beats audio package or DSP Manager).

It will aslo allow you to specifically format your Data partition or System partition (or both),

You can wipe your system caches, and reset the phone to factory settings

You can fix system permissions (e.g when you flash a new ROM and certain apps malfunction or give FCs)

You mount your system partitions to your PC for ADB operations.

Mount your SDCard to PC without having to boot the phone.

Just as adviced to stella a couple of pages earlier, make sure you READ, UNDERSTAND then then only PROCEED.

@bbsrailfan

Not clear whether the fonehackers's chinese ROM helped you to unroot or not. You thanked him but is your phone out of bootloop now ? Is your phone working back to normal ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bbsrailfan:
ImBridge: Don't get confused buddy. I am not trying to unroot my phone - my phone is dead and I need to flash the factory ROM to recover the phone.

What fonehacker posted a was a Chinese version of CWM Recovery and not a ROM. They are very different things. To put it in a perspective - You can use a CWM recovery for flashing a ROM without a PC. In the absence of CWM, you can still flash a ROM using the stock recovery if you have a PC.

What I need to fix my phone is the Spice Mi425 Stock/Factory ROM, which I still don't have. Once i get the correct ROM, fonehacker's CWM recovery can help me in flashing my phone without using a PC...which is why I have thanked him.

Hope I am Clear....

i have installed the lightflow app to get more control of the notification LED but i noticed that after installing it the notification for whatsapp doesn't light up anymore. do you guys know how i would go about fixing or correcting this or is this a known issue.

also i have another question about having two notifications and how the LED reacts. Let's say I have a text come in (white LED), the phone will start blinking the white LED. Now, I don't wake the phone up and just let it sit there. Then an email (green LED) comes in. What is the LED supposed to do. from what I've seen so far, the phone just continues to blink the white LED. I thought it would blink both colors. is this normal? or what would be a fix for this?

thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big Cam:
I have the free version of lightflow and if I get a text (green for me) and then an email (yellow for me) It blinks a few times green, then a few times yellow, then green, then yellow. I've never tested with more than two colors/items.

As for the app "whatsapp",the app lightflow only supports "whatsapp" with the full version of light flow, I bet by turning on accessibility for light flow(free), it overrides the android defaults, hence nothing the app doesn't won't show. (Not positive about that)

You probably need the paid version.

I need people who currently are on 1.85, ATT, LOCKED bootloader and s-on ..

as we know you guys cant unlock your bootloader and root ....etc

so I have an idea want to test...to see if it works...

we know that flash ruu doesn't require you to unlock or root your hox...

so...why not testing to flash the CWM with the ruu tool.

STEP 1 TESTING....(if this fails..then idea is useless)

1.someone met the equipment and does not scare to soft brick your device...pm me

2. go download the 1.85 AT&T ruu from

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
Wondering if anyone has had this happen to them:

I have a family plan with 5 lines. All the lines are do up for 2 year upgrades. I went into BestBuy yesterday and upgraded my brothers line to the LTE for 60 with trade in. I checked sprint online and his contract was already showing updated with the contract detail locked in for 2 years.

I upgraded my line thru Walmart to the LTE about 2 weeks ago and my line is still showing with a $150 upgrade available. I checked through the Sprint online and through the automated line. Both say the same.

I am wondering if I can just go into BB and upgrade my line again and get another LTE...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] compneo:
Probably so. Same thing happened to me at best buy last year. I waited three months and it never showed the new contract locked in. I went to the sprint store a few months later and upgraded again with no issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] andrusk:
Same thing happened to my wife at Wal-mart. The upgrade is still showing as available for her. I'll think she'll hold onto it for next year though, she likes being able to get a new phone every year HAHA
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jgalan14:
Same thing happens last year after I upgraded my line on the 3d and got me another phone 2 months later :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
Thanks for the reply. Here is my situation. I bought through Walmart and paid 170 and we went to Best Buy for my brothers and got his for 60 with OG Evo trade in. I was going to return my LTE to Walmart and go to best buy to get the 60 dollar deal becuase I have an extra EVO with a broken charging port that has been laying there for a while with no use.

But when I saw the my upgrade is still available I think im just going into Best Buy to try to upgrade another on my line and just sell my EVO LTE on Craigslist or something. I dont want to risk returning and losing out on the upgrade...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] andrusk:
Whatever your prerogative is man, go for it. I was tempted to do another upgrade on my wifes line and just sell the phone for cash, but alas, she wants to keep her upgrade for next year lol

It's gotta have something to do with the cahsiers doing the upgrades wrong. My wife and I both got our phones at Wal-mart, but mine shows the upgrade as used. Oh well :)

same thing happened to me through wal-mart. upgrade eligibility retained after buying at wal-mart. woot.

Hi,i want buy the HOX,but the battery is the only thing the worry myself.

With my HD2 with my daily use i do only 11/12 hours :(

-low brightness

-wifi ever on

-skype

-100 sms

-1/2 hours on internet with 3G and wifi

-30 min of games

-1 hour of music with earphones

how many hours will survive the one X with this use? can pass the 18 hours?
[HTC One X] lamenramen:
I think that it depends on the screen brightness. When mine is on full brightness and surfing, I can see that it decreases 1% per MINUTE.

Either something is wrong with my unit, or the One X with the Tegra 3 is a huge battery hog.

[XPERIA X8 General] fundre:
Weirdest? Well you could believe this or not, but it's true story.

Once I went to school bringing my old phone. Arrived at school I realized my phone is not in my pocket anymore, then I called home with my friend's phone to look for my phone, maybe I didn't bring it at all, I thought.

After school, I went back home. Thank God it's found on the stair, said my mom and sister. Yeah I was running on the stair cause I was almost late to school. But before they found it, they said when they call my phone repeatedly to find it, the 9th time someone picked up the phone.

First time, there was no sound, just a little girl from a distance. They hung up the phone, checking if the number was wrong. No. Called it again, now there was a man answered. He said he found the phone on the ground at some street(the street was far away from the home>school route) , and willing to return it. My mom and he agreed to meet at a market. My mom was ready to go, but suddenly there's notification vibrate I set for the phone if there's a missed call or unread messages from the stair every few seconds. They looked for it and found it! We have no idea how can a man picked up my phone, and there is no answered call in call log. Just 8 missed calls. I have no idea how this happened but I can just shiver still. AND days after my phone found, I get information that the street he(the mysterious man) found my phone was a cemetery. Wow. Maybe prank answering call? I don't know. Anyway the phone still working as it should till now. Just broken fastport. Haha

And for my X8, weirdest this ever happened was the battery drained to 0%, and when I charged it it doesn't turn on at all. No vibrate, no red LED blinking. It's like hard brick. I don't know if it has chargemon or not. Usually even if battery is completely depleted red LED still blinking when forced turn on. Ended up using flashtool, I also have no idea flashtool still worked while battery is depleted.
