Stock Rooted Happiness

I completely, 110% couldn't agree more with you. I've never, in my experience, encountered a custom ROM that didn't end up rearing some ugly, little, niggling bug that I couldn't figure out (and sometimes, great big giant bugs).

I tried a number of ROMs on my capivate and Nexus S, and they always end up with an issue that sends me into an all-nighter, reading threads on here.

Like you said, I got tired of giving up long term stability, in order to have extra tweaks and features - as mouth wateringly tempting that they may be. I've always ended up getting frustrated with custom ROMs and going back to rooted stock, and removing bloatware.

To echo what you said, sometimes it is someone with a deep understandstanding of the device, and sometimes it's someone with a kitchen. But sometimes it's an office full of guys with a deep understanding of the device, and I like to think that they offer the best "daily driver" ROM. (I mean this as no slight against any cook or dev.)

Of course, that doesn't allow for a stock ROM with super customizability - but they have to find a happy medium somewhere between customizability and idiot proof. I happen to find that happy medium on rooted stock ROMs.

Maybe if it's announced AT&T isn't going to release a Jelly bean update for this device, then I'll likely consider a custom ROM. Until then, like you said, "this phone runs so smooth stock."
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
You completely misunderstood my point. I didn't even mention custom ROMs, and that's not what I was talking about. I specifically mentioned the leaked RUU, which is the exact same versions as the present OTA, and was available weeks before the OTA. The only difference is that until the root method was found for 1.85, you needed to unlock the bootloader before running the RUU in order to have root.

Plus, I've seen OTAs on other devices that caused much more problems than the RUU. RUU is a completely clean install. OTA is almost always just a messy patch.

As I already replied to the other guy, I wasn't even talking about custom ROMs. Not sure how you guys even got off on that tangent. But since we're already there . . .

Your experience with custom ROM is unfortunate. I've used numerous custom ROMs by various devs on the Desire Z that were more stable than stock, and even fixed bugs that were present on stock. Early in a ROMs lifespan, there may be bugs. Especially if the ROM is a port from another device. Devs will sometimes even name their ROM as "beta" during this time period. But once many ROMs are given a little time to reach maturity, they will often be more stable than stock.

Sure, the stock ROM is a fine place to be for many people. This is the first Android device I've owned where the stock firmware didn't completely suck. And stock ROM with root, even better. But don't sell custom ROMs completely short.

Leaving BL locked (for now).

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

[/COLOR]

I can only imagine that these are mostly folks that are afraid to unlock the bootloader and void the warranty. Otherwise, yeah why get so excited over the OTA? The exact same version was available weeks before the OTA, as a leaked RUU.[/QUOTE]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I think this is what I was speaking to in response to why I stay away from custom ROMs. It's not that I am afraid to unlock BL, or that I am ape poo for an OTA. I've just found the most stability in stock ROMs. And yes, of course, no stock ROM is without its own issues, but at least I have the recourse to go back to AT&T and say, "Hey, this device smells. Replace it, please."

Redpoint, you're right about custom ROMs reaching maturity. That's why I mentioned that if AT&T announces no Jelly Bean update, I would likely consider a custom ROM. Although, I would probably wait a good while before flashing anything to allow for that "maturity" you mentioned. I have a friend who runs CM9 nightly builds, and never encounters issues - but I don't think he tinkers as much as I do. He seems to flash a custom ROM, and leave it "stock". I always flash custom and start going bananas trying every tweak under the sun - I think this is the err of my ways. I need to learn moderation. haha

And as far as why I was looking for an answer to the OTA update on rooted devices, my concern was that my device would flash the update without my consent. Should that have happened, I wanted to see what I was up against. Otherwise, I am still happily on 1.73 and I have no desire to update to 1.85, at this time. As far as I am aware, it addresses some wifi connectivity issues (that I am not experiencing), and it seems to have created a battery drain issue (which I am also not experiencing).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Yeah, its total BS that HTC claims to support the dev community, but will not stand behind their product for something like a hardware defect if the BL is unlocked.

Android simply doesn't work that way. You have to deliberately download and install the OTA for it to happen. Hence my joke earlier in the thread about ninjas sneaking into your house and stealing root.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nespid:
Yeah, it's just since downloading the update, I noticed this ominous, "android is upgrading" message before the lock screen on a restart.

Could that be from altering permission on system apps? FM radio, flashlight, etc?

Ps. I accidentally downloaded update and it would not let me cancel download for anything once it started. I bet if I'd wanted the update, I would have been that guy setting his clock forward every half an hour in an attempt download again.

Rooted at&t 1x 1.73
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
That's not the OS updating. That's the Dalvik cache being updated. And yes, I believe that changing permissions on systems apps will cause this.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Just let it finish downloading. Once its done, the phone will ask you if you want to install. Just choose the option not to. The update file will still be on the internal SD, and you can just delete it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nespid:
Yeah, I uploaded the update to dropbox and deleted it from internal SD.

Thanks for clearing that up. Like I said, I wasn't sure if there actually were ninjas present in my dalvik cache trying to burgle my root :) haha

Hello!

After some time of searching in many forums all over the web, I FINALLY found a solution for all the users that experience vibration issues when going into recovery.

I must say this is not my work at all. Credits go to the developers at this forum, to trungkho for finding this forum and to Rusty!, for recompiling and changing the files to match our P990 O2x (this was originally made for the SU660).

It's been tested by me and some other members of XDA, and so far, so good.

Internal SD and external SD are recognized and mountable.

Needs testing for flashing various ROMS, so feedback is appreciated.

Enjoy! :D

CWM 5.0.2.7: http://www.mediafire.com/?8iqokc1xg73xe89

[LG Optimus 2x] Shadowchaz:
Cool will download and test tomorrow... :D
[LG Optimus 2x] slebit:
This is awesome! Finally i can flash a rom without annoying people around me and stop damaging my phone! :P
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
Hope you enjoy it and hope it works!
[LG Optimus 2x] Shadowchaz:
For anyone waiting for someone to post back about this, I would like to confirm I have installed this, and the vibration has indeed gone!

I'm going to do some flashing to make sure I don't get errors, but first impressions look good.

Thanks for solving this problem!

Charles
[LG Optimus 2x] slebit:
I have already made a backup and restored and installed a couple of roms. So for me it works. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] darklord408:
Thanks for this recovery. Now i wont hear the "zzzzzz" thing on my desk while doing backup :D
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
Well, Rusty did it again, this time recompiling CWM Touch version from the SU660 to the P990. Here is the download link for testing.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Good :-). One problem though... I like the way the buzzy recovery scares the hell outta you :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
Trolling level: 9000 :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
I've tried this. Vibration is gone ( finally ! ) and the recovery loads fine, but the touchscreen doesn't work at all... It's frozen. If I try the volume buttons they work, but as soon as I do that, recovery restarts. Grrr. So close.

Edit : Just tried 5.0.2.7 and that works perfectly ! Pity about the touch version, but the vibration on this phone was driving me crazy when flashing ! DONE WITH IT ! Thank you !

♪ヽ(´▽｀)ノ
[LG Optimus 2x] punyategar:
Does the touch recovery works good? I thought we werent suppose to use it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
Touch recovery always worked well for me, never a problem. That said, many people have had problems with it, so it is recommended to play safe and stay with the previous, non-touch version.

edit 2: it no longer vibrates!!! FINALLY!!! HUGE THANKS!!
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
I always prefered the "standard" version. The touch version's graphic interface is kind of lousy, and it's not as practical as the normal version. But every person is different, and might prefer other things... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] mrgian:
Is this "better" compared to the past version 5.0.2.8 (which is i am currently using)? Its kinda annoying that your phone is vibrating when flashing something. :D
[LG Optimus 2x] korgndm:
The past version was made for the 2X, but many people like myself had problems because when you entered recovery mode, the phone would turn into a dildo. The version posted in this thread was recompiled based on the SU660, which doesn't appear to have any issues among users. Even though it's 5.0.2.7, sometimes older is better...

So, to answer your question, if 5.0.2.8 makes your phone vibrate, but 5.0.2.7 doesn't, and they both do the same thing with no problems, then 5.0.2.7 is the way to go.

I don't know if Rusty is willing to make an updated version of this recovery. But, to me, and at this point, it doesn't really make a difference.
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
I'm still using 5.0.2.0, you shouldn't have a problem with 2.7 :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Ultramanoid:
I had the same problem, permission denied. I don't use Windows. I put the recovery in the SD card and from a terminal in the device used dd to copy/install it.

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

As indicated by Paul from MoDaCo, Rusty! etc.
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
I've used 5.0.2.7 since release and can confirm it have worked on all my flashes...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
First of all, proceed at your own risk. Poking around in your phone can cause problems if you're not careful. :)

I'm posting this because I spent quite a bit of time searching, but could find nothing that worked. I tried resets, updating profile/PRL, etc and none of them helped. I finally bit the bullet and called Sprint. After a short discussion about everything I had tried, a nice lady named Rachel had me update my data profile, which is apparently different than resetting it. You need to get into the SCRTN menu and the required EPST code is ##72786#, which is one that I did lot have in my handy list of useful codes.

After entering the code, you are presented with a password prompt, which is where you input your MSL.

After doing so, you are at the SCRTN main menu.

When you tap "Menu" in the upper right hand corner, one of the two options presented is "Reset".

Tap that bad boy and you get this confirmation message.

When you tap ok, it does it's thing and then reboots. When it finishes rebooting, it should start the handsfree activation process and then all will be right with the world....or at least it was for me. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Just wanted to say THANK YOU! Activating my "old" LTE which was already rooted and got this. Took an hour with a CSR and getting disconnected for me to do a quick search to find this thread. I called back, got my MSL and did this and BAM!

Thanks a bunch, I am running stock Rom, but could get error 67 to go away with sprint tether. So I ran this and voila looks like that fixed my error 67 tether issue. Which also fixed my media link error 67 message

**edit**

The error came back after a reboot, I will fiddle with it more later see if I can make it stick
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wuestsider:
A week ago I was getting the error code 67, as well as no data what-so-ever. No matter what I did (the ##72786# data reset as well as the ##986# hard reset) still no data connection (error code 67).

So I took it to Sprint, they couldn't fix it and ended up giving me a new phone. Basically, nothing helped. The Sprint tech. really couldn't answer what was wrong, so his fall back excuse for the issue was installing an unstable ROM.

Which was not true, I had ViperRom installed on the phone for about 2 1/2 weeks before my phones data took a crap on me

WUESTSIDER!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chazybaz13:
An easy fix is ##DATA# enter msl, click data and edit the Active Profile from 0 to 1, commit and reboot. No one at Sprint or anywhere could help me. I got calls and texts fine, but data was a no go until I changed that value.

Man, I have tried everything i order to get native HotSpot working. Hee are the steps, as I know them:

Modify build.prop, adding the command ro.tether.denied=false

Reboot to recovery

Use TeamWin to wipe both Cache and Dalvik

Reboot normally

USB Tether

Turn on HotSpot

Still getting Error 67 every 15 seconds. Let it wait for 5 few minutes; no joy

I even turned off LTE (since it doesn't exist), nada.

Anyone with additional ideas ?

Thanks !

For anyone who has had issues recieving and sending text, what was the result of you getting it back and running? I called Sprint and they reset my setting within, this menu, and nothing working. Obviously im S-Off and such, so they said my last resort was to do a factory reset. id appreciate it if someone told me what they did...TIA!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pwrmedia:
Have you made a phone call? Surprisingly, doing that seems to have fixed a lot of text issues lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
It was the damn Airave in my house. Once i left the house, my texts came rolling in. Once i went back in, the texts failed again. So i knew it was the airave. Just reset it, and things are fine now. Thank god LOL

Oh yeah, activating on the Airave is troublesome.

Confirmed Working on HTC EVO 4G LTE on Verizon Prepaid.

This is confirmed and working on my HTC EVO 4G LTE, no root; running on Verizon prepaid. My problem was that it would sometimes disconnect and most of the time just give the 67 error code. I would connect sometimes if I got lucky and then failed. I have HTC Sync Manager installed by the way. Everything seems to be working fine. I don't even know what this reset does as all the info stays the same after I checked it back. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jumpman64:
What solved this problem for me, as well as a brief warning...

I have a Sprint Galaxy S, and when I did the steps listed here, everything was reset for me and all seemed lost. (could not call, text, number seemed reset to something like 000-000-0084) However, After poking around a bit, I went under Settings-->About Phone --> System Updates --> Update profile. After awhile, it updated and restarted, number was set back to what it was, so was username, etc. So, I'm sure your problem was long solved, but let this serve as a warning/emergency action post for others: If you do this, and then cannot text/call, try the method I described before taking it to a store. Also, I made an account simply to say this, I will probably never come back, so keep that in mind. Hope that I helped someone, good luck to any trying to fix error 67, even afterwards, I didn't even check to see if my error 67 was fixed (it always occurred when I tried tethering), but right now I'm just glad I got my phone to work again. Here, people, have a smilie: :cowboy:

I think that "the green Droid" is in Phone.apk .

To add your mod in your uot file, you have to edit "updater-script" in Meta-inf/com/google/...

and add this lines :

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

delete("/system/app/Phone.apk");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/Phone.apk");

unmount("/system");

And after in system/app of your uot zip, copy your "Phone.apk" MOD .

Well, ok. A headache, for sure, but everyone who has had a defect has sent it back and got it replaced and eventually got a good one. Most people don't have problems at all. I know I don't have anything wrong with mine. Just try to buy from someone you can get it swapped out at easily so you can make sure you get a good one. The defects are annoying, but I have no doubt they will get worked out. It's all part of early adoption.

I haven't really paid attention to the defects threads, but are newer versions nearly defect free yet? Or are they just as likely to be bad?
[HTC One X] gonzo99:
On my 4th too, but so far (touch wood) I have a keeper I think.

1st was yellow stains on screen

2nd was unusable GPS

3rd was yellow spots (battery hitting 65C)

4th has lasted nearly two weeks so far (yay!)

It's not perfect - there is a small amount of light leakage at the bottom of the screen and GPS is not perfect, but nothing that would warrant an exchange.....yet.

Not sure if it is just the UK thats had problems, but T-Mobile confirmed when I returned my second that they had a load of returns - had to wait for stock to come back in before they could exchange.

Now I've had one though, I think I might find it hard to swap for any other phone, despite its flaws.

There will always be a sense of 'the phone it could/should have been' though - I guess they had to leave something to improve for the Two X :)

Only real remaining issue for me is the heat and battery life but I guess they are the sacrifices we have to make for adopting new technology.
