I meant 'upgrade' by 'u/g'. - it is a shorthand I picked up when I was on blackberry. And thanxx for the welcome, I'm definitely newer to android, loving my amaze!

Okay so something cool happened...

My SoundHound JUST started coming up in the sound search! The only thing different about my phone now is that I installed Handcen SMS...I tried to do a voice search on Google today and noticed that Handcent, QR Code Reader, and SoundHound all showed up along with Voice Search for once.

I'm pretty sure there's no rhyme or reason to this, but now it seems to be working fine and I didn't have to u/g to get it working either...but prob still will anyhoo...

A friend of mine is asking me to root his phone and install CWM to flash a stock gingerbread rom he currently using stock Froyo.I have not flashed recovery on Htc before i have experience in flashing rom on Motorola Atrix. So I want ask whats the procedure for installing roms on htc because on atrix i had first unlock the bootloader to flash recovery for flashing rom. Is the bootloader of htc desire Z also locked if yes how can i unlock that and whats the method of rooting the phone.

Also recommend me good stock ginerbread CWM rom that i should flash after flashing recovery.

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shared_ptr:
Yes, the bootloader is locked. You need to root and “s-off” the phone. I think this guide is up to date (correct me if I’m wrong):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905261

What do you mean by “stock gingerbread CWM rom“? You mean stock ROM without any modifications flashable through CWM? You can choose the appropriate RUU for your area here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19101396

and create a flashable zip using Android Kitchen.

Or you can choose some other ROM, look here"

PS: Don’t be afraid to use the search function. That is all you need, believe me ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
if you want true soff when you root your phone you will need to downgrade furter, the exploit will not work with every version of froyo
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terminator1983:
Whats the difference b/w the S off given in tutorial and true S off.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shared_ptr:
It doesn't matter if you have 1.82 or 1.72, you still need to downgrade to 1.34

Maybe this guide will help you more:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting

Remember, you cannot skip the step "Downgrade to an exploitable Firmware"!

Also you should have some ADB experience and you should be familiar with command line tools.

Good luck! ;)

I'm trying to get to MoM from JB, and my phone will not comply despite having done this exact thing, in the exact same way about 45000 times before.

I can get back to UCLB3 stock, but as soon as I flash any kernel with CWM it just decides to restart and bootloop the samsung logo. I'm too pissed off right now, trying to keep myself from throwing my phone through my wall like the past 2 so I apologize for the lack of detail.

Ideas?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] UsernameGoesHere.:
beep boop

Got into MoM and it was stable for much longer, but then it did it again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] drnecropolis:
More information would be helpful..

I like the red ones!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] UsernameGoesHere.:
How much more information can I give?

I was on JB

It sucks so I used ODIN to flash UCLB3

I was going to stay stock, and use a custom kernel

After I flashed any kernel (and this happened without one too) it booted

After between 5 seconds and 5 minutes after boot it would go to the samsung logo and then restart

I somehow flashed MoM 1.4

It still does it, but it takes a day or two to do it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
First JB is being provided and looking thru the thread of scott.hart.bti & Th3bill, others seem to enjoy it very much, but we all have our likes.

But why not say thx, and it is not for me...instead of "sucks", just because you have or had issues due to lack of...well that would be "your bad".

Even though others may not like or agree with me, I will stand up for their work and efforts, so enough of that...

Since you have odin back to stock and have flashed another ROM, but are having issues.

I would one click (only because I am a one clicker) back to stock to included boot loaders and format all, redoing my folders with a new CWM and then go to a custom ROM, but maybe staying stock would have been good for you, idk. Up to you...;)

btw more info is better, you are the one requesting help, those out here are nice enough to try, since you had 70 views of this thread before someone replied, just saying. Pays to be a lil nice.

It could be an issue with your power button. Have seen a few post about this lately. You could take it apart and blast it with compressed air.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] UsernameGoesHere.:
I don't have good luck when taking things apart

this is me
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adfurgerson:
The power button is part of the outer plastic case that pushes a switch inside. I bought a kit that came with some small screwdrivers and a plastic pry tool shaped like a guitar pick. You may be able to pry it away from the screen enough without taking apart to try the canned air. Don't think it would get where it needs to otherwise.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] captemo:
i think i had same problem when i flashed the first JB. nothing was working yet and i knew that. went for it anyway. by the way i am amazed how far its come in such short time. i still have no flashed it again yet, just not sure its or me.

anyway, this was before the "1 click" thing BigJoe was talking about.

i Odin-ed back to stock and it didnt take either. had the right recovery, but would not flash anything or re-install a nandroid,

however i Odin-ed a second time and after some very sweaty and intense moments, cautiously caressing my infuse, everything was good.

1. Has anyone gotten an unlock code within 90 days of their US ATT galaxy s3 upgrade? It might be my luck with a particularly CSR but they wouldn't budge on 90 days no matter how much i sweet talked them (I have been on ATT since before 2010)

2. I am guessing that 3g/4g shouldn't give you much more difference between battery life...but is there a noticeable difference, and if there is, are there any good switches out there

3. what is the turn on/off data tab for? I mean why do people use it? Why not just NOT use internet etc set your automatic update preferences correctly?

Maybe someone could build something for me :)
[HTC One X] gen10:
Try out widget locker. You can get the jelly bean slider and clock. I made it look all nice like jelly bean. There's also about 10 different sliders to choose from.
[HTC One X] vivek_bhoj:
Use holo locker for jellybean lockscreen only

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tb2JpbnQubG9ja2VyIl0.

if u want widgets on your homescreen then go for widgetlocker, its the best locker out there:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&feature=search_result

and if you are rooted then u should try Jellybean ROMs.

Now they are stable and fast with only few bugs and can be used as daily drivers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] susieq29:
I want to put the jelly bean on my galaxy nexus. I used rom manager to back up current rom. When I do a factory reset and delete data. I understand this deletes everything on my phone. Like ringtones etc. Can I restore these files after I install jelly bean. If I restore the current backup file I made will this include the old OS: 4.0. Also will the backup file be removed from my phone with a factory reset?

I also downloaded viciousMIUI-V4.1-JB toro 2.8.17 is this the latest version I need for my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] susieq29:
What is the right thread for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Anything phone related will be erased, such as mentioned ringtones etc. All your SD files are safe unless you format your SD.

Per ROM, its advised to follow the instructions they give you on wiping/flashing.

Normally I use CWM with the volume buttons* and this is my wiping procedure -

1.) Wipe data/ Factory reset

2.) Mounts & Storage → Format System

3.) Flash ROM & "Gapps" if needed.

4.) Per ROM, wipe cache if necessary then reboot.

If you use titanium backup, that will help save some stress of resetting all your apps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubomime:
Wiping data won't erase anything on the virtual SD , like pictures and music. Contacts are stored on Google servers and restore when you log into gmail. Really the only thing you lose when you wipe are the apps. You'll have to redownload those. Don't let that stop you from flashing.

Miui 4.1 is the latest miui ROM. If you want stock jellybean then that's not for you. Go with cm10, IMO.

Also, my upgrade is September 1st.. :cool: I'm debating between the sgs3 and the htc evo.. Hmm
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
You should just etf for 100 and upgrade today. 100-42=58, so 58+199=257, which is probably worth it. Only 50 more and you upgrade today. Cancel the backorder.

That's just my opinion though. Not sure if you have to pay the deductible on the backordered epic. If so, definitely etf.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
He doesn't have to etf. He can pay $50 for early upgrade with how close he is, like I did. So $50 - $42 + $ of device he upgrades to. All in all he pays $8 extra to upgrade now.

[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Unfortunately since mobile odin is not available on our device yet, you need a computer.

And just to warn you about walmart, I have never bought from them, but Sprint may not support you if you buy from them rather than sprint. They may not fix your device if something happens to it, depending on how nice the associate is and what store you go to. Also, if you change your contract after 30 days and before 180 days (6 months), walmart will charge you 375 I think.

The service guy said they use to buy back our epics for $60.. He almost sold me right there..lol..

I wonder how much best buy would give us for our epics.?.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
I think fully-working ones are $54, at least according to the associates at my store and the website.

Not sure about bestbuy.

Just make sure before you buy from a 3rd party retailer, read the terms and conditions to decide if the initial price difference is worth it, and read reviews from people to see if they got screwed or not.

10-4 on that xbox.. Thanks for all the input.. I will definitely search around for others experience..
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
You have to pay to reset your upgrade, but it's based on how far into your contract you are. At how close he is he would only pay $50 like I did. And the offer for a fully working Epic is $42. I just did all of this this month when I got my Nexus.

Sslauncher. Very different and allows you to setup the way you want. Everything can be edited / resized / moved.

Takes a while to get a hang of it but once you do it's hard and even cumbersome to use anything else.

There is no app draw. It's instead just a vertical scrolling page which I love. You can also add / remove pages as you like and all pages can scroll vertically as well, simply by pushing Widgets below the screen viewing area. I've added a Music page which does that.

See below. 2 templates I have of my home screen. Similar with only small changes, but point is that things can be changed / resized / moved anywhere.
