I have done what I said I would and it did not brick my device. There is a risk if you flash the wrong sbf or downgrade.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kooldadof4:
Most don't reccomend this however as too many possible things can go wrong. Also is alot more work to fix if something goes wrong. A flashable fruitcake or rom is more simple to do in the first place and if something does go wrong is easier to fix. Also the roms available kick butt over the stock rom.

So I really want to flash a new ROM on my AT&T One X but am a bit confused on how to do it so as its as qucik and painless as possible. I have titanium backup and I have backed up all my apps & system data using it. I also am on a mac so I have the one click CID tool that came out for mac. What is the best order of steps to follow so I can restore my phone on the new rom to the same settings and apps and what not that it is in now?

I should mention I am on 1.73

If some kind soul could help me that would be great as I have searched and read all the info on here and my head is spinning

***Shameless self promotion *** My Index thread can help answer a lot of your questions.

In particular, there is a tutorial on how to keep your data through the bootloader unlock process. But don't know how this would work on Mac.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671746

But its actually not recommended to keep user data when moving to new ROMs. Doing so can cause random and severe bugs, which will force you to wipe data and reflash anyway. Moving between one version of a particular ROM (for instance, one version of King Cobra to a newer one) is usually ok to keep data, unless the dev says otherwise. But going to a new ROM, I always wipe data, cache and Dalvik.

You can backup your app data using Titanium. But I would suggest doing the rest of the setup (settings, etc.) fresh after you flash the ROM. I would also backup the Titanium folder (and anything else on the internal SD that you don't want to lose) on your Mac before flashing anything, as there have been random cases of corrupted data from CWM, and possibly TWRP also.

Again, I can't help with Mac in particular. But in general you need to:

1) Backup any data you want to keep on your Mac

2) SuperCID

3) Unlock bootloader

4) Install recovery

5) Download ROM onto internal SD (or copy it there from your Mac)

6) Backup current ROM

7) Wipe data, cache and Dalvik

8) Flash the ROM

Research the guides in Development to learn the details of each step, and come back on here if you have specific questions.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keynot:
Hello,

I've decided to unlock and flash my HTC 7 Mozart. So, I have to downgrade SPL. I thought the method via goldcard would be best for this and so I tried it. Soldered a perfect USB cable for that according to the pictures shown on separate threads here.

First of all, my phone specs:

HTC 7 Mozart

Got it with Mango 7.5

Firmware version atm: 2250.21.51201.401

-> So I think Phone ROM version: 5.12.401.01

B/c of my CV I have a HTC_Europe operator.

To downgrade SPL, I downloaded this:

3.2 BR: RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.03_Radio_5.51.09.06 _22.30.50.09U_by_ansar

Right until here, or am I false?

I've put the .nbh (called MOZAIMG.nbh) to my SD card (also tried USB stick), used the GoldCardtool 0.0.5 and patched the GoldCard.img (a generic one) to my removable stick/sd card. Then I just put everything in and started my phone in USB host mode. Well, it worked flawlessly, but as it loads the data from my stick/sd card, it shows up:

"not allow"

...

and later: "serial"

I don't know why this happens. I think, the gold master patch wasn't done properly? Do I have to do the thing manual in a hex editor? I've read that, but is it truly the thing I have to do?

Thank you!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keynot:
Well, I just followed this tutorial:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21054629&postcount=3

Thanks for your hint.

I've tried several ROMs and always get the same Errors...

When trying with goldcard, every ROM I tried shows "Not allow".

And every time I try with standard USB flashing, I get an Error: "invalid Vendor ID".

Is it possible, that my device is no "Europe device"?. I've found several threads about this topic, but none helped...:-(

Tried following ROMs:

RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.03_Radio_5.51.09.06_22.30.50.09U_by_ansar

RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_5.11.401.01_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar

RUU_Mozart_S_HTC_Europe_5.13.401.01_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50_RELEASE - to upgrade SPL to 5.13. some claimed SLSPL could work then. but nothing changed. Error or "Not allow"...

Pls help!

I also encounter this same problem my SDcard(2gb)didn worked not allow showing then i dont know how but i downgraded my mozart by patching my sd card's goldcard to my 4gb flashdrive its of sandisk.

This problem lies in Goldcard and wrong usb storage(pendrive,sd,etc) device.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcusvideira:
Hi folks.

Do you guys know if there is a way to make possible use of AdHoc wifi Networks on any ICS Rom?

Actually i was using Kingdroid and I was very satisfied.

But, AdHoc Enalber doens't seems to work on any ICS rooms actually.

Also if it is not possible via apps or something like this, would it be possible to revert the driver only? I guess any driver from GB could work.

Thanks anyway :)

Best regards,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jconkl02:
I have a Sprint Galaxy S2. I am having a problem with the BT headset where I only hear myself in the headset and the caller cannot hear me. It's not a faint echo. It is like me talking directly through the microphone into my earpiece. This can happen in the middle of a call, when I answer a call or when I dial a number.

It also has happened with 3 different headsets (Plantronics Voyager Pro HD, a Jawbone, and Rocket Fish headphones).

I am running stock ROM

Android Version 2.3.6

I have done several hard resets on the phone and experienced the same problem before I started adding apps to the phone.

I have no issue with BT when listening to music on the phone.

Does anyone have an answer for this?

This is driving me crazy.

Hey guys I have some questions. First of all I own an sk17i with ics. I had locked the bootloader and flashed ics now I wanna unlock it again, should I do this via the official way or via test method. If I unlock the bootloader will everything be deleted? And if I flash a custom kernel will I be able to flash super charger script?

*sorry but I am a newbie!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
If you do it with official method, you will lose your warranty, if you do it with tespoint method, you can unlock and relock and sony won't recognize, so your warranty is keepen up!

Here is the official method of sony, where you will loose your warranty.

Here you will find information on unlocking without loosing drm keys.

Unlocking the bootloader will delete all personal data, so do a nandroid backup via cwm before, so you can restore your current rom later.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
If you've previously unlocked the bootloader, then RE-locked it, you need to use the official method again.

You can use the same key to unlock it as before.

Unlocking bootloader does not affect any system or data files. So no, you don't loose any data.

V6 supercharger script requires init.d. Stock kernel doesn't support that ability unless you install it.

Anyway, you can install V6 with any kernel supposedly it supports init.d.

As far as I know, every custom kernel has support...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nks13:
I do not have cwm installed and that's why I want to unlock bootloader. I have unlocked via official way so I think I should unlock it again via official way.

So the apps will not be deleted? Cause the other man said that everything is gonna be deleted:S Please tell me man. I will unlock bootloader via official way, then I will install a custom kernel and finally I will install super charger:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
EDiT: you loose data partition so do make a backup :D

You can easily find a backup app on the market.

After that, you can flash a custom kernel and install V6 :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Official unlock method makes factory reset, so yes, you lose all data.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alex8525:
Hello All,

I got a new HTC One X on ATT for my wife last week. I have a SGS2 since last two months but I am new to Android.

My wife liked the look of HTC One X. But got a few questions. (She was using iPhone previously).

1. We observed that the speakers are very low. I saw a few threads here about this issue but didn't find a solution. Is there any work around for it?

2. My wife found that while taking a picture at full resolution it gets slightly distorted at the sides. If a person is standing at the side (end) he might look a bit shorter or taller. Anyone else observed same problem?

3. Is there any good dialer or something for incoming call available which can show names a bit larger with all options (speaker, mute etc.) I tried a few full screen caller IDs but they dont provide all options.

4. Is there any way to use Touchwiz or somthing similar without rooting the phone? I found Sense a bit slower compare to my SGS2 and not that much beautiful (subjective).

Hoping to get some replies.

Thanks,

Alex
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hydromea:
I'm going to go ahead and answer your #4.

No. You need to root to be able to modify system resources, such as the UI.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
1) Call volume, music, or both? Music sounds okay to me, about what I would expect from a tiny smartphone speaker. Also in line with past HTC phones I've owned. But I know people tend to find speaker volume on HTC phones to be lower than other brands. And call volume over the speaker is a bit low. You can try the app "Volume+" on the Play Store (there are both free and paid versions) to boost volume, and see if that helps. But be careful, as boosting the volume over what the phone is designed for can damage the speaker.

2) Haven't noticed that.

3) Don't personally know.

4) A lot of the lag tends to come from the launcher. So you can try an alternate launcher, such as ADW Launcher, Launcher Pro, GO Launcher, and others. But you won't be able to get rid of all Sense elements without flashing a new ROM. AFAIK, there is no way to get TouchWiz on the phone unless somebody decides to port it over into a ROM (which of course would require root and unlocked bootloader to install), which is pretty unlikely.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alex8525:
Thank you very much for your replies.

For speakers.

- I found it very low in Pandora and Youtube and also in call. I tried Volume+ yesterday and as per it all values are set at maximum (speaker 15/15 if I remember correctly, I will try to dig through it in evening). My wife really likes to listen music loudly when at home and this is kind of upsetting for her from such a beautiful phone. I am also trying to find out other tweaks which can help.

For Camera,

- I will try to post a few pics for example. I thought it might be because it takes pics in widescreen and might be stretching them a little bit.

For Dialer,

- If anyone know a good dialer please let me know. Will "Go launcher" replace dialer too?

For launchers,

- Can I disable Sense when I use other launcher? I think "Go Launcher" kind of matches "touchwiz". Will HTC Sense will take up resources when I use other launcher?

Thank you very much for your replies. Still open to new ideas.

Alex
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I'm set to widescreen too (which is default), and don't notice any stretching. Post a couple pics, I'd be curious to see the distortion.

No, launcher and dialer are separate apps. They do make GO Dialer. Not sure if it has the feature you want, but the GO apps are pretty nice in general.

The Sense launcher will be be disabled (or at least not active). Sense is more than just the launcher, so there will be other processes still running in the background. But you should see better launcher performance, and also overall improvement in RAM usage. Downside, is that you can only use HTC widgets on the Sense launcher.

After you install the 3rd party launcher, and press the home button, you will be given the option of what launcher to use. Just pick your launcher of choice and set it as default. To clear the default, just go to Settings>apps and find the name of the launcher and select "Clear defaults".
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alex8525:
Will try to post pics when get back to home.

Looking to ideas if there are any from others too for these problems.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExEvolution:
I preordered the Galaxy Nexus for Sprint the week before the release, and I've been having heat issues since I got it.

So I paid for "TempMonitor" on Google Play so I could monitor the temperature of the battery but the battery was only 40c and rarely goes above 45c. The CPU however is what is getting hot. When I say this thing gets hot, I mean it, and only while charging and in use. If its not charging, it will get warm but not hot like I'm talking. During light usage the CPU will rise to 55c or more and while playing a game it has gone as high as 65c, it burns to touch the screen at these temperatures and when it gets hot like this the touch screen also becomes unresponsive for multitouch.

Already starred the issue #23044 on android's google code page for the multitouch issues though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Exchange if possible. Those temps seem to high to offset by anything you can do tweaking wise. Or you have something rogue using cpu cycles keeping the heat up.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Do you have a case? My Seidio Active does a GREAT job at insulating the heat coming off the phone and holding it in. :p

If I'm playing a CPU/GPU intense game or app, it'll easily be 15 degrees warmer with the case than without it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExEvolution:
I do have a case so that's probably the reason. Mostly silicon rubber. I've just never had a phone get so hot I thought it was unusual.

I use Watchdog Lite to monitor background apps for high CPU usage and it rarely ever goes off. The only app I use that it notifies me about is Facebook which has the tendency to use 40-50% CPU while in the background
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blame2:
This phone does get hot when I'm on the internet and only then its the top half where I imagine the CPU is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExEvolution:
I took off the case.and have been browsing these forums. Still running as hot as 65c with random jumps in temperature. It will go from 55 to 65 in a matter of seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Over 3G? That would be almost normal. Also stock correct? I get a little bit warm over wifi browsing so I would assume some heat over poor 3G signal.
