I updated my device to 2.20 using a guide i found here only to realize later that it updated my hBoot. Not a big deal as i intend to use this phone stock with root for the time being, but what exactly am i missing out? Im rooted, superCID. Just curious. Thanks fellas.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
I dont have a hox anymore but i believe in your case all it is is that you need to flash the boot.img seperately if you want to flash a rom. You have to flash it in bootloader and not in recovery. Then flash the rom in recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
It is just more restricted.

-boot.img from fastboot only

-radio.img dont work(some report they do but some say they dont)

-limited RUU options currently

-potentially missing out on s-off if exploits are found against earlier hboot's.

If you dont care for toying with things much, the new hboot is of no issue. But if you do like more control of installing unofficial things, the older hboot will give you more love :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] serialtoon:
Thanks for the reply fellas. Now comes the stupid question to which I know the answer to, but I feel I need to ask. I can't flash a lower boot by any means. Correct?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
That's correct. There is currently no way to downgrade from the latest hboot because it's write-protected.

I'm getting a nexus 7 this week and would like to know how to get tethering to work. Im running stock rooted with cwm latest I believe. I removed the 3 dot menu aswell if that matters. I have not tried tethering on roms due to the fact that I don't get the boot.img flashing process. I am not familiar with adb or commands. So my question. How do I get my phone to WiFi tether? Thanx for the future:thumbup:

Wi-Fi tethering works fine for me on 2.21 but not native Bluetooth tethering. Does native Bluetooth tethering work for you? Or do you have to use foxfi?

Guys,

Here is a working EFS folder which you would put in your root to replace your old non working EFS file which has your IMEI.. Simple copy your origal EFS folder to your desktop and place my EFS folder in your root.... Vuala your 4G is back and no more edge.....

Only tested on T-Mobile....

I'm not responsible for any bricks or issues..... You've been warned!!!!!

If this works for you please hit the thanks button.... :D:D:D

Won't this give the other peoples phone your imei?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
I would say yes, but more importantly, if it really does work, then all of us can just backup our own EFS folder

I read that the EFS folder does not contain the IMEI, but what the hell, might as well backup that folder on my external SD (done..)

Just in case there's something to it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jarule51082:
Well I'm not a pro at this, is their a problem sharing my IMEI? Would that cause me issues?

What I do know is that you can back up your working EFS folder and if you ever loose your IMEI just copy back that folder and your good...

My BEAST!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Unfortunately that seems to not be the case with the Galaxy S3.. read up on the "lost IMEI" threads

Jarule51082 thanks for the files, I haven't tried yet because I don't know if its safe to put your folder in place of mine, hoping someone can confirm if it is or isn't.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] liquid.emotion:
i tried and it doesn't work for me.

the problem with my phone is when i paste my efs folder to the root of the phone. when if reset or reboot my phone my the permission change.

the redata.bin files permission change from "rw-rw-r--" to "rw-r--r--"

i can manually change the permission back to rw-rw-r-- but when i reboot the phone it keep changing back to rw-r--r-- no matter what.

i try to do a fix permission but it won't lets me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jarule51082:
I'll see if one of my friends can let me borrow their S3 so u can I try it on theirs.. It should be.... What you can do is back up your current EFS folder on your External and replace it with mine and see if it works... The phone boots up with the EFS deleted completely so it should be no problem putting another working EFS folder in there.... Just saying... But your welcome bro no problem..

My BEAST!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jarule51082:
Liquid you did take your other EFS folder out completely right? It didn't just make a other like efs1 or something like that?

Just a thought if it worked for anyone let me know if it didn't ill take it down.. It worked for me flawlessly but it might be limited to its own devise... So if more do test keep us in the loop... Thanks

My BEAST!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Look, aside from my reservations that you might be doing something malicious, even if your intentions are good what you're suggesting is based on what you THINK, and all data posted on the subject so far says that you're wrong. I'm talking about data from experienced users and devs that have worked on this issue specifically for weeks/months.

Maybe you're a good guy who just isn't that wise, but the only thing people could do that would be fairly safe (barring any permanent loss of their own IMEI that could happen) would be to copy their OWN IMEI, and test things with that.

There are too many risks both to you and the person who uses your IMEI.

Guys,

What Ingen said is true you can use this method and back up your own IMEI so if you ever loose it just put the EFS file back in and you'll be good.... I apologize if my IMEI did not work for the ones who lost it...... Thanks again guys....

To unroot the phone what I usually do is after running the triangle away app, I do a complete wipe(all wipes on the phone from recovery) and flash the Stock ROM from the computer using Desktop Odin.

I was wondering what happens, if I have a stock unrooted phone, and I try flashing a custom ROM using desktop Odin?? WIll it work anyways or possibly brick the phone(or wont allow me to flash at all)? :)

The reason I ask is every thread talk abt flashing custom ROM's using custom recovery or mobile odin after rooting the phone.

Thanks

I also have a question I tryed to update my software on captivate glide att but I rooted my phone so I could not. Anyway I messed some things up reset the phone then I went to re install several apps and now my phone says device isn't compatible with this version when I just tryed to install from back up and it faild so I tryed from the market place and kept getting that error. Idk what to do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheFiveDots:
Odin flashes TAR files, not ZIP files. You should only need Odin to flash stock.

You shouldn't need Triangle Away if you rooted following the instructions that can be found on these boards.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dssking:
From what I understand, you cannot flash a custom rom without having CWM installed.

I could be wrong... I flashed Blazin ROM to my phone yesterday but then reverted back to

the backup (Nandroid) I had made prior. Playstore wouldn't work and I can't figure out what

gapps I need to get it going.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] peeempz619:
I agree with the guys above. In order to flash custom ROMs you'll need CWM installed to do so. Once you boot into recovery it should take you to CWM. From there, you can flash the zip files only.

[LG Optimus 2x] adbirdie:
Hey guys, I'm no regular here but my friend has a LG Optimus 2X which I rooted for him and installed AOKP (this was a couple of months ago).

Anyways, today I saw him and he said he was having problems with the sdcard in the phone so I took a look and found that the sdcard, was for lack of a better word, ****ed. In CWM I tried to partition the SD many times, to no avail, and each time CWM hung up at partition command. When I saw this I pulled out the battery, and the phone worked as normal. The last time however, I did the same things, but when booting up after the battery pull I tried putting it into recovery mode (which I believed to be pressing all three buttons in while booting (STUPID ME)). Anyways, now the phone refuses to do anything at all (ie. boot up, vibrate, turn screen on or indicate charging). I plugged it in to charge at the possibility of a dead battery, and the phone is getting a little warm (good sign?!?!). I'm not sure where to go from here, but from what I've seen there haven't been many complete bricks of this phone, only soft bricks. SO.... (sorry for such a long winded post) does anyone know where to go from here? Many thanks in advance, as although this phone is also Android, it's fairly new to me.

-Adbirdie
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
First thing first: To check if the phone is dead or not, take out the battery. Hold volume-down while plugging in a usb-cable attached to the computer. This should bring up a software update screen. If it does not, it might be dead.

Secondly, if its alive, the Wind is a P999, not a P990, so head over to the G2X-forum and look for smartflash or nvflash-instructions there.
[LG Optimus 2x] tahahawa:
You'll want to look for the thread titled something along the lines of "ROM for recovery under NVFlash" it will place stock tmo 2.3.3. Then look for one click recovery installer which again uses nvflash. All in the tmo g2x section. Which should be labeled as p999 section. This should be labelled p990 section.

I have been through every Rom looking for this feature, CRT Animation. The ACS Syndicate Rom is the only Rom available with it. Although that Rom over-heats, and drains the battery. I have done everything I can think of or find to get this modification, with no luck!

Currently on Blazer Rom 1.7 LG8

I have tried the CWM Zip files for the international models... although it says installed correctly, does not work.

I have tried the CWM Zip files for the Galaxy S2... once again it says it installs correctly, but does not work.

I have tried the manual code change for the international models... pushed services.jar onto phone and it worked for a minute with a terrible stutter and lag on screen on, after a few minutes it stopped working altogether and left me with this ugly lag on screen on.

I tried then the manual code for the sprint based LG2 models... pushed services.jar onto phone and it did not work at all, and still left me with a ugly lag on screen on.

I have re-flashed Blazer Rom and am once again twiddling my thumbs... PLEASE HELP!

Hey Zeke, i was also wondering of getting CRT animation off to work but on Telus i747M (its like ATT) and my firmware is original stock LE8! But I dont know if its safe to replace system files (services.odex) from international SGS3 http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/31271240/file.html . So how did it work on ur sprint? Wouldnt it brick your phone being different hardware and all that??

What is the CRT animation?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xdenwarrior:
It seems that upon boot the services files revert back to original ones since they are controlled by the framework itself, therefore do nothing on LE8 either since the whole rom needs to be remodified to include CRT animation fyi on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1715238 there is crt mod for every firmware version. I have absolutely no idea thou why it would work on tmobile LG2 out of a sudden, so report back when u install that LG2 rom and the CRT files u used (probs we are using different mods).
