hmm I dont remember...lol will flashing stock recovery take away SU and bring me stock? running another nand back up now...
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Flashing a different recovery doesn't modify the rom.

Sent from my NeoMax Rezound
[HTC Rezound] bloodymurderlive:
Flashing a recovery won't affect root. The OTA will break root, but it's simple to restore. That's the easy part.

What I think you should do first is achieve S-OFF (you do not need to re-lock if you achieve S-OFF. It's easy, and it makes switching ROMs easier).

Then flash stock recovery.

Then accept OTA update(s).

Then unlock again (rather than mess with your bootloader).

Then flash superSU to restore root.

All per my instructions. I think they will make it easy as possible for you. The hardest thing, I think, is trying to find a step-by-step guide on all of this.

Just my opinion. There's a lot of info out there, but it's hard to sort through which steps you should choose to do, and when you should do them.

Hi..

Im running cm9 latest build, but when im trying to backup cm9 its taking too long or stuck at backup data(i didnt finish the backup). Im using proper cmw and i have lots of apps and games install(i have 4gb of sd card free space). Can someone help me? Is it because of my apps and games? Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
Exactly how long is too long? 15mins+ is normal for that much data. Also, since CWM backs up internal sdcard, if you have more used space then free space the backup will fail.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwan Fauzi:
1 hour or so. Im backup tp my sd card not internal memory. This mean i have to uninstall my apps and games first before backup?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
How much free space do you have on your sdcard? Also, is your tab 16GB or 8GB?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwan Fauzi:
16gb, i have 500mb free space left in my internal..
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
Yikes! And how much free space is there on your external sdcard?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwan Fauzi:
4gb. And now i get "error while backup image of /data" or something like that. Now i pretty much sure it is because of my apps and games.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
Well, that's your problem. You're trying to backup 15.5GB of data to 4GB of free space. If you move things to the external sdcard they won't get backed up.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irwan Fauzi:
Well sorry for this and thanks for the help. I can do backup with my sgs2(lots of games and apps), thats why i think i can do the same with my tab. Thank again.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
Just get a 32GB sdcard ($25 on sale at my local radio shack) and you'll be fine.

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Oh, and if you do "advanced backup" you can skip data, which will make it fit.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poopsie5:

I was having the same problems, and I didnt realize that the internal SD backs up each time as well, and my card only had 3 gigs of storage left. Also, I got a class 10 card, and things are much speedier!!

What i sent

I have 3 evo 4g ltes, Is there any plans for 4.0.4 / 4.1. I know that the new release fixes some problems with the phone.

Heres their reply

Thank you for your interest in the 4.0.4 / 4.1 software update. As of now, we do know that 4.0.4 is in the works but we do not have a release date yet. 4.1 we do not have any information regarding this so I am unable to provide the information you requested. Once it is released, it will be automatically delivered to your phone or you will see the details on www.sprint.com. We value your business and appreciate the opportunity to answer your questions. Please reply to this email or visit sprint.com if we can be of assistance. Sincerely, Annabella R. Sprint

That's probably generic and even if they were about to release it they wouldn't tell us.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
That's a copy and paste template for sure.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blizzard1017:
lol I am now .0001% more informed than I was 30 seconds ago.

I'm just being a smartass btw but yes that's about as generic as it gets. It's pretty safe to say that if you called Sprint 10 times in a row you might get 2 of those times with people that have ACTUAL information.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 84guy:
But if 4.0.4 wasnt in the works. Why in the world would they say it is. I feared that they would skip 4.0.4 and this says otherwise. We already know worst case for jelly bean is Q1 2013. So this will at least tide me over till then. Even if 4.0.4 comes in oct im fine with that.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] themuffinman:
Using any kind of common sense would tell you that its not a matter of if but rather a matter of when. Calling sprint to get any kind of real information is mostly considered to be a total waste of time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 84guy:
i have yet to see any info on 4.0.4 even coming to the evo 4g lte. because ive been looking for days and could not find any info on it. sprint/htc have bad rep on incremental updates, evo 3d was stuck on 2.3.4 for a year and never saw .5 .6 or .7.

this email was the first i heard of 4.0.4 even coming to the evo 4g lte, but if im wrong please post a link

and your comment isnt 100% correct, i emailed sprint about when 4.0 was coming to the 3d about a month before it came out and the email was spot on
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] themuffinman:
SMH!!!! Come on dude, everyone knew the evo 3d was going to get ics so it wasn't a matter of if but rather a matter of when. Sprint didn't have to come out and say anything when HTC themselves made it clear from the end of last year/beginning of this year which devices would eventually get updated to ics. So by sprint stating the obvious doesn't add to their credibility one bit. The evo lte is essentially the htc one x, that phone recently got an update so it is more than safe to assume that a similar update will come to the evo lte. Oh and guess what? When HTC officially release jellybean more than likely the international one x will get it first then the us version one x/evo lte will get it after.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
I think you guys are missing out on what the OP got here....He got them to say that 4.0.4 is in the works for us which is NEW news!....before it was a debate if we would mess with 4.0.4 or go straight to 4.1, which was a very valid debate given the timeline it could easily of gone either way...

Now we know we will get 4.0.4 before 4.1, which imho is unfortunate as I would rather them not mess with the minor step before 4.1, since 4.1 shouldn't take near as long to get rolled out to us and I would expect it before years end...us getting 4.0.4 before 4.1 kinda hurts that thought...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 84guy:
there are differences the MAIN difference is sprint which SUCKS with updates and skips many of them

go troll somewhere else

and thanks sgt. slaughter for understanding my post
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
This logic is flawed now....ATT OneX get the update BEFORE the International OneX.......
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] themuffinman:
I understand what the OP is saying, but even though the email is from some random sprint employee doesn't make it new nor does it confirm or deny anything. Hell, I made a post over on s4gru dated about 3 weeks ago that mentioned me being in a sprint corporate store talking to a htc rep about updates being in testing for the evo lte with no exact eta. I took that information with a grain of salt but decided to post about it because it was an actual face to face encounter with an htc rep which I would say has way more credibility than your average sprint rep. If it was a sprint rep telling me the same information I would have never posted anything about it but in either case I could tell that the guy knew what he was talking about versus a copy and pasted email. Again though, let me stress that I do understand what the OP saying but lets be real here, the evo lte/gs3 are their flagship devices so why on earth would they not be continuously updating their software? That's why I said that the email response to the OP was stating the obvious, which it is.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Ok, bad example but you been around long enough to know that the international non carrier branded version almost always get updates first before any other carrier branded version.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

How am I trying to troll you? If you want to talk about sucking when it comes to updates, have you been on verizon? I never said you were wrong, I am just saying that its pretty well known to not really take to heart what a sprint rep tells you but in this particular case, their response to you is a pretty obvious one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
What you fail to get is that typically they will give you a blanket response saying they are always working on OTA updates and such, or say they can't comment at this time on anything...hardly do they say the specific OS update being worked on through email, unless its been announced elsewhere already they were officially...

Yes Sprint reps typically no little to nothing but there are many times you can read between the lines of things and actually get something useful.

What the OP has done is just that. No way would the rep of said they were working on that less it was actually so...they wouldn't get as specific as that one did at least...

Again yes they usually know little but this is a time where they actually provided some useful informaiton there...so please back off the OP as he was just providing information that was given to him and somewhat valuable...now we know we are not going straight to 4.1...thats news. period.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JMQUINT00:
The phone works really well as it is. I think that a lot of people, although some have legitimate arguments, just want the latest software just for the sake of having the latest software. But I would prefer that HTC take its time as opposed to rushing the update and have a Samsung debacle where the update was released then recalled then released again and blah blah blah. Correct me if I'm wrong but the s3 has not gotten 4.0.4 either right? And even if it had so what. I understand what some people are feeling. The geek in me is screaming for jelly b. It will come when it comes, as it is this is still if not the best, one of the best phones ever produced.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] themuffinman:
I definitely was not disputing what the OP said and I was in no way getting on the OP for anything. He forwarded information that was a response to his inquiry, I am in no way trying to shoot the messenger at all and in no way have I done so. All I am saying is regardless of what the email said since the one x and the evo lte are extremely similar then its safe to assume that if the one x got a recent update to 4.0.4 then the evo lte will more than likely get a similar update as well, I.E. I don't see the evo lte getting jellybean before the one x hence an update to 4.0.4 rather than 4.1, again another safe assumption which is what the rep responded with which is stating the obvious, so therefore nothing really new.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
From my chat with sprint cs tonight:

"Frank D.: I'm sorry, as of now we have not received update information for the EVO LTE 4G phone."
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
thats a poor assumption b/c Sprint could very well say no need to bother with 4.0.4 and say just work on JB and when 4.1 is ready even if after the OneX then they will take that update...Can't base it solely on another device...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] luigi311:
Still don't see why HTC can't push updates like sense 4.1 and things like that and sprint launches the 4.0.4 kind of updates
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Can anyone tell me one thing significant about 4.0.4? I see it as a complete waste of time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
I don't think it's the update to 4.0.4 that people want, it's Sense 4.1 because it has promising changes. And new updates bring bug fixes regardless of OS version. Even if the difference between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 isn't a huge one, an update to 4.0.4 would still bring an update to Sense and bug fixes to improve the stock performance and experience of the device.

Why are you waiting for that? If you're rooted, there are roms that have that as a default.

Does it also have this ass-backwards "Multitasking" as well, or is it more or less fixed?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
The kernel is slimmer and takes less ram, so reports are from users here on XDA that it is much less intrusive.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Oh okay, I wasn't aware that 4.0.4 meant we also get Sense 4.1. That's news to me. Thank you though! I'm glad to know what everyone is buzzing about.

Nothings guaranteed, but its based off of other One X updates

But according to the op's response from sprint they didn't say that which would means my assumption wasn't poor at all right? Also the one x is not just another device, the evo lte is basically sprints version of the one x with the only difference being the addition of a kickstand, sdcard slot and dedicated camera button not to mention that the evo has been experiencing the same issues as the one x so it would be safe to assume that a similar fix/update will also be implemented on the evo.

You can get a Sense-free ICS on the OG EVO easily. Look at the AOSP ICS ROMs. Much smaller, and easily manageable for that phone.

CM9 etc is bug free for them? On evo3d, cm9 was like 100mb lol. I thought it was a bad upload since I've never used aosp before that 1 time. It's nice, but I missed my widgets too much to leave sense too long. I loved the cm9 boot animation tho

***Cooking The Work With Them Gloves On, So The Junkies Can Get They Grub On***

Yes, but sprint doesn't ship sense free. The OG EVO can't run a full sense 4.0 ICS ROM. It just plain doesn't have room for it. They have to handicap it.

Hi over there mates!

Just wanted to know which is in your opinion the best rom for battery performance/stability purposes? :confused:

I tried long ago MIUI (that rooled but killed battery) and now I've got CM7 but the battery performance isn't much good in my opinion.

Which kernel/rom mods would you recommend me?

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] dark_sat:
I wouldn't expect more than a day of moderate/heavy use on this device on any ROM. The battery is too weak. I'm running CM 7.2 and it runs for about 2 days on light use (a little of youtube browsing, all-day wifi and a little of e-mail, no 3G and basically no calls/sms).

When I had my Nokia 5800 I never knew when I last charged, since it lasted about (or more than) 10 days (It was always on standby). With this guy, it's a little depressing to be hunting for outlets all the time, but can't compare the features and usability.
[LG Optimus 2x] jerichoo:
I agree... I tried different roms and no one last longer than a day for a moderate use...
[LG Optimus 2x] offset666:
Cool...

Well... you know... if I could get it lasting a whole day would be enough :P

I don't like staying 4 hours with low use and -30% draining battery life :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfreywald:
I think you are confusing bootloaders for kernels. But by calling it a bootloader you will confuse the OP into possibly screwing up their phone. I don't know if you need an ics kernel for jb. I'm just trying to clear up the misnomer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lmarranzino:
Being what I just went through with my phone... I assured I was flashing an ICS ROM with a proper kernel. Then move up into JB. I had flashed a wrong kernel and wound up having to back track and redo allot.

May seem like more work yet taking it step by step sometimes in the end is easier. Just a word of thought from a noob who twice thought he bricked his phone. Yet now works great on CM9 thinking of moving up into CM10 soon.

I have a Galaxy Ace Plus, GT S7500, and the rest of the details:

Android: 2.3.6

Baseband: S7500XXLC3

Kernel: 2.6.38.6

Build #: GINGERBREAD.XXLC3

Currently, the firmware is filled with Virgin Mobile crap, I want to install a stock rom that is BRANDLESS.

I went through all the steps yesterday using a rom of exactly the same PDA/Baseband, and unsurprisingly it was also Virgin branded also, so I went through the trouble of doing this and ended up with the same firmware...

According to Sammobile, my only UK choices are: VIR, VOD, BTU or VOP.

Vir is Virgin, Vod is Vodafone. What do the others mean? Does it matter if it's from another country?

I need a brandless firmware, and Sammobile don't tell me explicitly if they are so.

Ugh, so much that I am not entirely clear on.

I hate how confusing this is and how much guesswork is involved with these things. I'd just like some clear instructions that I can follow.
