[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
but to answer your question, zips cannot be flashed from stock recovery without being properly signed....And Samsung are the only ones with the signing tool.

so if you try and flash a zip from 3e recovery, you will get that verification error.

And Joe, he was trying to flash cwm with a zip, and then the su zip. And was failing to get cwm.

questions

If I use toolkit V4.0, does it come will all the files needed to flash/root my device?

If not what files do I need....and could someone link me please...

Do I lose my text/sms/contact data?

Is there a safe way of rooting without loosing all my data?

do I have to install the drivers that come with the toolkit for it to work? or can I just have the phones default drivers to let it work?

When I first got the phone I had no problem setting up my Yahoo mail account on this phone but it's been acting up lately as right now it doesn't even let me access my email and keep saying wrong username/password (I already checked them btw). Tried to set up manually but still no luck, turn on Wifi doesn't help so I don't know what the problem is. Does anybody have the same issue and know how to solve?

[HTC One X] susan12:
I have had the One X since May 4th and I really don't have any complaints.. I am loving Sense 4.0 and battery life is great.. The screen.. Well I haven't heard anything bad about the screen and you won't hear anything bad from me either.. I had the Samsung Galaxy SII and i really can't even go back to looking at that screen..

My concerns:

I don't know if this is how HTC has their multitasking or not but going in and out of apps that are running, it doesn't seem like they are consistently running in the background.. I jump back into the app that I was in and it has a to refresh and quickly freezes and then reboots it seems.. again I am not as familiar with HTC.. have been using Samsung galaxy devices for a couple of hears.. Is anyone else finding this?

I might not be explaining it good enough so if you have more questions please ask..

Also.. I was charging it over night last night and when I went to unlock the phone it showed that wifi wasn't connected and once I unlocked it it quickly connected.. So i believe it was running off of my cellular connection all night (or part of the night, or 5 minutes?).. Anyone else do that?

Speaker volume question: Next to my Galaxy sII it isn't nearly as loud coming out of the speaker (not the headphones).. I have read on other forums that the X has a better speaker than like the Desire HD and Sensation but those are other HTC phones.. I was wondering if anyone compared theirs to a Galaxy SII? I just want to make sure that my speaker is on par to where it should be because I have been reading other people having issues with it and were told to return it on some other forums..

Thank you in advance and any advice/assistance will be greatly appreciated!
[HTC One X] mouzaihem:
Multitasking is a bit of an inconvenience at times because HTC has given the sense ui priority over other tasks to avoid sense closing and having to relaunch (a problem that was on the sensation). Your best bet to deal with it is to use a custom rom. As for the connectivity, I at times also unlock my phone to find that my WiFi is not connected-though it was turned on, it only happens every once and awhile. Don't know why it occurs, possibly WiFi being terminated in the background? (Part of the multitasking issue). And don't have an S2 to compare the speakers, sorry. But hope I helped in anyway. :)
[HTC One X] treb1971:
Wi-Fi

HTC have some power-saving thing that switches wi-fi off overnight if you aren't using the phone.

So no, it probably wasn't using your cellular allowance. But it is annoying.

It seems to have stopped for me - I used to notice it. Maybe one of the updates fixed it?

(Still on stock, waiting for s-off before messing with my HOX)
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
The multitasking is two fold, one of which is confirmed, the other is just a possibility.

1. Not enough RAM. I doubt this is the case for the Tegra 3, which has something like 977 megs of RAM available to the user apps.

2. HTC's task management shenanigans, which were recently uncovered over in the One XL forums. No, it's not a big whining thread, it is a developer that has found code within the framework that kills tasks after x minutes and such that is obviously going over the OOM killer and pre-emptively killing things before RAM gets to the point that Android's built in memory management system starts killing tasks.

Hi there, I'm kinda new to android and was wondering: is there a way to back up the S3 like the iPhone? Where everything gets backed up into a file and if i were to reformat my phone I can just restore it and everything will be there. Thanks. :angel:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votum:
I really like Go Backup. Never had an issue with it, even from going to stock firmware to CM9 or 10, which usually ruins titanium backups.

But the one file backup would be a nandroid, which is done through recovery.

[Hardware Hacking General] mengagumkan:
I think I found the way of improving the battery of tablet as in the title. The battery compartment has dimentions 126.5x67.5x5 mm.

The original battery pack is wired and of capacity ca 1800 mAh so it does not last long.

I found on eBay batteries that will fit in the battery compartment, 3 of them, and they need to be connected in parallel. That will give 5400 mAh capacity at 3.7 V. Each battery has wires and has the size of 56x36x5 mm.

Here is the link:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180850958176?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I ordered the batteries and will post further when i install and test this solution. My only concern is that the batteries connected in parallel need to have identical voltages at the moment of soldering them together (to avoid high currents between them due to different voltages which would generate heat and even could destroy them) so probably they need to be first time connected while fully discharged.
[Hardware Hacking General] Fcfutbolero:
So the question is? ;)
[Hardware Hacking General] Rebellos:
@UP:

It isn't forum for questions only.

@OP:

The second concern might be charging and fuel gauge, try to find out what are those ICs in your tablet, get datasheets and check if they need to have batt characteristics programmed by CPU, you might need to change parameters passed to them.
[Hardware Hacking General] xHausx:
I would be very careful modifying the batteries. Li-ions have control circuitry inside of them that talk to the device and they have a very specific way they must be charge.

Even when they're used normally they have a bad habit of blowing up.
[Hardware Hacking General] Rebellos:
Umm, if we're talking about cellphone's batteries. No they don't (at least not in phone models I've been studying). All I've seen in this class of batteries so far is +, - and thermistor pad (and sometimes NFC Antenna), everything else is calculated by fuel gauge and charging ICs, basing on the batt parameters they get from CPU and calibration data.
[Hardware Hacking General] xHausx:
The thermistor should be monitored by the device, but afaik all li-ion batteries must have control circuitry to make sure they are charged correctly. Batteries with multiple cells also need it to balance usage and charging.

Of course there's always the exception, but li-ions are by their nature unstable, so caution is still advised when doing anything with them. A quick search of YouTube shows a lot about what they're capable of.

Check the development thread with OTA update in the title. Pretty much all you have to do is find the update.zip in your cache folder, flash it in CWM, reapply the root from recovery zip, and reboot. Check the thread for better instructions. Super easy.

[HTC One X] bobopopo:
I have rooted my HTC One XT (S720t) to be at least allowed to do something with my device. China Mobile delivers the device totally locked up and hardly allows any useful software. Successfully installed Google market app but the ROM seems to have a feature to make sure it cannot be used (always crashed right after opening, others have also reported the same).

Unfortunately my company is bound to China Mobile so I was unable to buy a standard S720e if I want to enjoy 3G.

Rooting and and installing custom ROM was quite smooth and easy but it seems that the flashing the Android Revolution HD ROM has messed up my radio stack/baseband (at least within Android; bootloader still states the old correct radio stack).

I never had problems with the radio stack so I am quite new to this topic and have the following questions:

1. Do I have a problem or not?:confused:

2. I made a backup before flashing, will this also bring the radio stack back to normal? If yes, could I extract it from the backup and flash it manually via fastboot (device is rooted but S-ON)?

3. If 1 is not possible, can I flash the backup and then somehow dump the radio stack image?

4. Does anyone know where to get the shipped ROM for this device? S720t seems to be a very rare device and I cannot find anything. Have asked HTC but not sure if they will provide it to me to fix my device.

5. Does anyone know how to get this rubbbish China Mobile parallel market out of this phone and run the standard market (that would be already enough for me - I need Skype for my work). Full control for sure is always nicer.

Thanks for any comments...

[HTC One X] BenPope:
Ok, but but be aware that the ROMs here are unlikely to work on your phone.
[HTC One X] bobopopo:
Thanks, could you let me know why it will not work? Are the devices physically so different?

Have installed the ROM and everything looks fine besides the radio stack under Android stated as unknown. Bootloader states still the China Mobile radio stack (any idea how to backup this one so that I can flash back in case it is messed up?).

<Update>: Everything on the device works normally (also Wifi) BUT mobile is completely dead. After using recovery the old system is back but baseband still unknown and mobile network dead. So got myself a tablet for couch surfing now...
[HTC One X] bobopopo:
Finally managed to find the stock ROM, use the way described in the forum to get back to stock ROM and now everything is working again. Thanks, guys.

Main problem is, that the stock ROM phone is completely useless without apps. None of the apps that I have on my other phone are featured in the Chinese parallel market. No airline apps, no newsreaders, nothing. Just useless cute games and some standard apps and even the market application is in Chinese only.

A mighty phone - and nothing to do with it except listening to music, playing games and chatting. I am wondering how HTC can allow totally crippled phones like the S720t to be marketed. Crippled and no option to break out of the jail. Phone will go back to the shop tomorrow, even my Incredible S beats the S720t easily. This phone is a living brick.
[HTC One X] Med1o:
i do have the same problem, could you help me, where you found stock kernel?:confused:
[HTC One X] bobopopo:
Sorry for the late reply, have been travelling...

I have downloaded a ROM from some Chinese filehosting websites (had to register first) and then got the file. Did a google check and cannot find my orginal DL-link anymore. Try to look for variations of ROM_ENDEAVOR_TD_ICS_40_HTCCN_CHS_CMCC_1.zip Can also upload the file somewhere; PM me how and then the phone can be brought back to original status again (check the stickies).

So far found no way to flash custom ROM (did not check for some weeks now). Easy solution to have access to software at least is to unlock the device and install the google app set manually, that will bring up the google market and that already made me happy.
[HTC One X] jwickers_1234:
I am in the same boat, i found this : http://bbs.gfan.com/mobile/android-4912638-1-1.html?extra=page%3D1%26amp%3Bfilter%3Dtype%26amp%3Btypeid%3D483

I initially tried to flash ARHD but it would not boot (bad boot.img i think), the ROM above works fine for now.

It is rooted and has Google Play.

If you flashed a wrong boot.img, that rom as the correct boot.img in the zip so you can extract and flash it.

Only downside is that it is slightly older (android 4.0.4, sense 4.0).

I will look for updates later as i just got the phone yesterday i haven't had time to properly look around.
[HTC One X] bobopopo:
Oh, thanks. That is actually the first custom ROM that I have seen.

Can you confirm that the radio stack is working/compatible?

I have Google Play installed now, just need to download the package and unzip it locally - but I would like to get rid off all this China Mobile rubbish and especially of their own app shop because it interferes with Google Play.

Might try that version later by myself (btw my original phone only came with Android 4.04. and Sense 4.0).
[HTC One X] jwickers_1234:
Yes all works fine and all the chinese crap is not there. only a Chinese webbrowser, but you can remove it and install what you want.

i didn't know this was released in china

is it confusing with all these different naming and devices for china?
[HTC One X] whoseline:
Yes but he mentioned there was a problem with the radio stack/baseband therefore couldn't use his mobile.

From what I understand, the hardware for HTC One X and HTC One XT are pretty much the same. The only difference is the custom OS from each carrier.

So my question is, can I install any 1 of the custom ROMs from here for the One X on the One XT?

Any help would be great.

I think the HTC One XT uses another kind of mobile technology like SCDMA. Therefore, most ROMs here would work, but mobile wouldn't.
[HTC One X] whoseline:
ok. I'll have a dig around today and see if I can do it or not. I'll give a update later.
[HTC One X] XxVcVxX:
From what I understand, SCDMA is the Chinese variant of CDMA, and only works on China Mobile. You would have no luck trying to find a ROM here that supports SCDMA so try going on xda.cn
[HTC One X] whoseline:
Currently in the process of download the ROM from the above link, which seems catered to the HTC XT model. I'll report back later.
[HTC One X] whoseline:
All working fine for me using the above ROM. Now I can enjoy the HTC XT like it was meant to. :D
