Well for starter, there is the sticky section on how to root, install kernels and modems. Read fully "how not to brick" most of the custom roms have those setting within them, camera silent, ect... Then just read thru the different roms. Can't stress this enough, make sure to follow the dev's instructions on how to flash.

Edit, I am running GB and I have those features. So you don't have to jump to ICS but in the end it's up to what you like. :) hope this help ya.

Hi,

Noticing there are STILL lots of people who are S-ON and asking "how do i flash through fast boot?"

USE THIS!!

just unzip the attachment, place it on you desktop, place your IMG in the same DIR and click the correct bat file.

if you want to flash a boot.img, press "Flash boot.img.bat" same goes for recovery.img and the unlock bootloader file from HTC Dev (Unlock_code.bin)
[HTC EVO 3D] KrewsialNL:
Nice! You will make a lot of people happy with this for sure ;-)
[HTC EVO 3D] Ubuntuz:
Thanks for this man. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] 4D3:
well...not really because you can use this to flash the Unlock token from HTCDEV.com

you only need to be unlocked if you want to flash recovery or boot img.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beefman:
Background: I've hacked many a Samsung phone with impunity. But that's 'cause they're much friendlier to flashing/hacking. HTC phones seem quite a bit more susceptible to bricking if you do something wrong. So... despite rooting/BL unlocking I haven't gotten brave enough yet. Still, LTE just got turned on down here and the loss in battery life is a killer. I wanted to be able to switch LTE on and off just like a real person.

Problem: Reverting to the 'Phone' APN didn't work, the ONE X still finds LTE.

Solution: The old wap.cingular APN works just fine AND now offers decent speeds (I'm seeing 5-7Mbps fairly consistently). I can live with that and switch over to the locked APN when I need more speed.

NOTE: I'm a noob/lurker so replace the hxxp below with h t t p (no spaces).

Steps:

1.) Go into SETTINGS

2.) Tap MOBILE NETWORK (no, not the switch, the icon on the left)

3.) Tap ACCESS POINT NAMES

4.) Tap MENU

5.) Tap NEW APN

6.) Tap each setting and enter the data as follows:

NAME : (name as you wish... ATTBLOWSGOATS, etc)

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: <Not set>

Port: <Not set>

Username: <Not set>

Password: <Not set>

Server: <Not set>

MMSC: hxxp://mmsc.mobile.att.net/

MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS port: 80

MMS Protocol : WAP 2.0

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: <Not set>

APN type: default,admin,hipri

Bearer: Unspecified

7.) Tap MENU

8.) Tap SAVE

9.) Tap the radio button beside the new APN you created.

10.) Press the HOME button to get out of settings.

11.) Relax and grab a coffee/beer/beverage of choice while the phone drops the network, searches a bit, comes back up with NO data connection, and shuffles around for 10-90 seconds before the 4G pops up.

12.) DONE (hopefully).

CAVEAT: I haven't tested this outside the Corpus Christi market yet. Your mileage may vary. If this doesn't work for you, you have my most sincere apologies. If your phone blows wheaties in your face, you have larger problems than this not working.

I think I tried this a few weeks ago, and what ended up happening is that data would connect and drop. have you experienced that at all?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beefman:
I haven't noticed any drops, but it's only been about two days. Could also be differences in provisioning?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beefman:
Source? In my direct experience with :

Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket (I own)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (I own)

HTC One XL (I own)

LTE chews battery far faster than HSPA+ or CDMA. I realize the latter isn't directly comparable but the LTE comparison is still valid. On LTE, my battery is typically dead by mid-day if I don't charge. On HSPA+ I can get 20-22 hours from the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
You can't compare LTE on the HOX to LTE on the Skyrocket or Galaxy Tab. The LTE radio is integrated into the S4 SOC on the HOX whereas on the other devices it is a seperate component thus requiring far more power. The LTE sips battery on the HOX.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
Uh, no. While the modem is in the SoC, many other parts of the RF chain are not, and are still wildly power-inefficient. There's still a good ways to go in terms of LTE power efficiency.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] seh6183:
Even still from what I have read LTE (on the HOX specifically) is draining less battery than most devices do on H+. Now what I havent seen a comparison of is the power difference between H+ and LTE on the HOX itself.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
There's always room for improvement but there is no denying that it is far more power efficient the way it is implemented in the HOX vs. older S3 devices.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beefman:
...and more efficient though it may be, LTE still drains the battery more quickly than HSPA+. My rough 'seat-of-the-pants' estimate would be 1.5x faster drain under moderate usage (facebook browsing, uploading photos, updating software). If using the phone heavily, I can be down to the reserve (yellow battery icon) in 3 hours. HSPA would be at half under the same usage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
LTE is much more power efficient then other devices with LTE... However it's still not even close to as power efficient as HSPA.

Now what would be interesting is what takes more juice during long downloads. Longer downloads means more screen on time. I bet long downloads are more power efficient on LTE just do to the fact that it'll finish much faster.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NJGSII:
Whenever I've been to NYC and used LTE, battery drain has been a bit higher than with HSPA+ down here in Central Jersey.

I live in a non LTE area and go all day without charging. I have spent time recently with family in the Indy and Chicago LTE areas and my phone is around 25% battery by lunch, even if it's just syncing in the background and I never take it out of my pocket. On this device, LTE drains battery faster.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
If your phone is down to 25% by lunch then you've got something else going on. I live in Chicago and I can get a day and a half with 4 hours screen time on LTE no problem. That's with everything on and syncing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
LTE eats more battery than HSPA+, period. I've used the method described by the OP, because I was experimenting with an LTE radio issue (if you lose signal in a subway and then regain it, battery drains very quickly afterwards). And yes, without LTE on, the battery lasts much longer (even when the battery is acting normally under LTE).

The method does work to disable LTE and force HSPA+. However, agree with some others who posted - there are intermittent connection drops. It happens with both data and voice - sometimes a call with randomly drop. Sometimes data will just disconnect for 30-45 seconds.

I used it for a few days, and while the battery usage was much better and it fixed my LTE signal battery drain issue, the random drops were not worth it to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beefman:
I'm now noticing this. About once an hour the connection completely drops (as in no service, no bars and X on the signal meter). Then in 10-30 seconds it comes back. Haven't had it drop while I've been using it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bloodrain954:
Anyone else have problems while forcing HSPA that data drops randomly, but is fine with the LTE apn?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SoberGuy:
I had that issue for 2 weeks before I got the HOX. The Atrix would drop like mad for a while. It wasn't a new ROM or anything, either. I had left it with that ROM for months.

I chalked it up to network upgrades/issues. Haven't tested this on the HOX, but no real desire to annoy myself on purpose.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] john_tillman:
I've experienced the same. Once in every hour it loses the network and gets it back after 30-60 seconds. That itself sucks up more battery than idling on LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mochzr:
Thank you for this! The other one that's been floating around online does not work.

And I for one definitely see much better battery life in Orange County with HSPA+ than LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
I have tried this APN, as well as another one that was floating around. Both allow me to connect, and work normally for a while, but the signal periodically drops. I'm tracking it with the "No Signal Alert" app.

Sad, too, because battery life has been noticeably better. I wonder if this is something that AT&T is doing to stop LTE phones from using the slower network, or if it has something to do with Sammy's software/hardware.

Edit: Interestingly, the signal loss event happens most often when I wake the phone up to use it. It rarely happens when the phone is idle.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bveditz:
I've been reading this thread looking for a couple answers and thought I'd get people's input. It sounds to me like the APN method is a little buggy, is that the only way to disable LTE on this phone? I'm not concerned about the battery life, but I need to make sure LTE never gets turned on. I recently had a problem with my international one x and they couldn't fix it so they're going to send me a new AT&T one x instead (due to the whole apple suit, they can't directly send the international version to the US at this time). I'm using it with a work SIM (intended for a blackberry), and i'm told that they've had experiences where people have put the sim into an LTE device and it killed the data plan (because we don't pay for that type of plan). So, to keep from calling attention to myself :), I'd prefer to verify the LTE never gets engaged. If thats not possible, I'll just have to sell the AT&T branded phone and get another non-LTE phone.

Does this stay through reboots and such, or do you have to do it every time you boot?

I seem to remember that Scott recently posted that he was able to get his LTE toggle working on one of his new releases. I may be wrong so don't quote me on that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alpersami:
i have the same problem, everybody saying that to flash a radio solves the problem but it didnt for me...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] john_tillman:
I tried non lte sim from my wife's phone and it worked well as if there is no lte. I know it would be pain to convince ATT to give u another free non lte sim but, it is something that works.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bveditz:
From what I'm told, and what I've read in other forums, this doesn't seem to work very long. Apparently AT&T will disable the data or try to convert the plan to an LTE plan.

I've given up, I've put the new one X up on ebay, I'm just going to buy an international (or non-lte) S3 anyway since I don't want to deal with this again if something happens plus due to the (non-desk) nature of my job, I really need the ability to swap batteries. I really liked the one x, but I can't spend this kind of time dealing with htc again (two months in repair only to get an at&t version returned to me). :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gabr10:
That Seems to work for me, does it persist across reboots?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ILoveYouAll:
LTE draining less that H+? Are you sure those devices are the XL version? Because the international HOX dies fast due to its quad core processor.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTCFAN0923:
IME, My One X delivers much better battery life then my old Inspire and its not even close. I get about 7-8 hours easily with LTE on, auto sync, Facebook and txting every 30 mins on my One X.

You all know LTE rewards you with awesome speed in exchange for some battery life. You all knew what you were getting into. You could get a iPhone 4S if LTE bothers you so much.

I like predictive text, but I don't like than on my gs3 it replaces what I'm actually typing. Is there any way to change this behavior?

For example, say I'm typing "reason". Until I type "o" it says "areas" in the typing field (hiding "reas"). I want it to show me "reas", but also suggest "areas" in the area above the keyboard (so simply turning off predictive text isn't ideal).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thacoolestnerd:
I'm the proud owner of a Galaxy Note i717 but the limitations of gingerbread are driving me crazy....so the first thing I want to do is root and flash a different ROM problem is I'm without a computer ugh.

I came across a YouTube video showing how to root the other model without using a computer so I was wondering if anyone knew of a solution for the i717 model.

So is it possible to root the i717 galaxy note without a computer?

Help me out here guys any feedback is much appreciated....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
I highly discourage trying anything other than what is posted in these threads...since it has been proven to best and most effective why of rooting and flashing...

in other words...You will need a computer and for a safety feature in case you soft brick or hard... you will have a need for a pc...computer.

do you have CWM on your device? like ranger stated below...no need to root to flash...

just my suggestions :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
You don't need root to flash an ics Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
yes sir you are correct...I did notice the op did not mention if CWM is on his device already...he will need that to flash...so then to put cwm he would need.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thacoolestnerd:
No I don't have CWM on my device its literally a few hours old with everything stock lol so I'm really trying to find the best way to go about getting CMW and a custom ROM installed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thacoolestnerd:
So I don't need root access to flash a custom ICS rom?

Details please.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thacoolestnerd:
So how would I go about getting CWM since that seems all I need?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
Honestly I would not attempt to flash without a pc handy...due to the saying

"ya never know"

Even though we have the same make/model devices....they are not the same... my GNote may not like a ROM as to yours might...like I trying explaining ... the computer being your safety net if something goes wrong....I would wait or find a friend that you can use a computer, but it is your call, it is your investment.

btw unless someone knows a way to put CWM on the device without a computer....I believe you will need a computer...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Since CWM is a custom kernel, you could flash it from the phone using the Mobile Odin app.

Edit: oops never mind -- you need to be rooted to use Mobile Odin. Sorry for the bad information.

I rooted one phone using the terminal emulator after downloading such and busy box to the SD card. But its harder than climbing Everest without oxygen typing those commands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thacoolestnerd:

I have tried Z4Root and Framaroot and neither of them work. Do you know of any other ways to root my device with out a pc? If i dont need a Root to Flash Could you point me in the right direction to find that information I haven't put CWM on the device yet because I Cant Root so I cant MobileOdin ect.. you see the picture lol. Is it possible to use an Update.zip file? or use a formatted SDcard to flash it like I did to Flash NookColor1?

In trying to unlock the phone via part posts on here, I managed to brick the phone. I've followed lot's of useful threads on unbricking but must be missing something?

At the moment phone is vibrate and green led for 2/3 secs when powered on, then straight off. I can bridge pin 1 & 3 and see the phone/port on TG downloader. When using TG downloader with varying roms it goes all the way to 100%, sucess but still green led and vibrate momentarily and then shuts off.
