download this. Then in fastboot command prompt type. fastboot flash recovery (recoveryfilename.img)

(is the image file name you download)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
Alright thanks let me give it a try.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
then after you have recovery installed. Download this http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1195050&d=1342168095

ANd flash this zip in recovery
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
Thank you my friend. Now i need to figure out a ROM to install that has Jelly Bean and everything works. Do you have any recommendations that will work with AT&T HTC ONE XL? I'm currently about to flash the superuser, thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
So i did not download the CM recovery as i already had the TWRP recovery installed prior to my post. I put the superuser zip file in my CD Card then i adb reboot recovery within command prompt which brought me into the Team Win Recovery Project V2.3.1.0, I then selected install and choose the superuser zip file you linked me to download, however it fails with errors. Do you know what I am doing wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
I think this all has to happen before rebooting after the new root process. So CID, then flash recovery, load and flash superuser, then reboot. I'm not sure how others are getting it to stick. I'm rooted on 1.85 with both my HOX's
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
Im reading line 10 again and i think i need to install a custom rom first via flashboot then boot into recovery to install the superuser zip file. Read this again and tell me what you think?

10. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
1. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom "recovery" = twrp partition via fastboot,

2. boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su

I think I'm spot on with my last post.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
What would be the ADB shell command to install lets say a file labelled superuser.zip ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
I've never tried nor know if possible to flash a zip in fastboot. To the best of my knowledge it has to be a image file.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
Alright thanks and sorry for all these questions. I'm going to try to flash a ROM like they recommended. By flashing the boot.img first then the rest of the rom. Thanks for all your help and sorry for anything.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
GO into fastboot and try this one click method for recovery http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1419624&d=1350837439

Don't be sorry. I'm wishing someone who has acomplished this could jump in. I wish I was more help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
Im sorry for the confusion. I already have that installed successfully and am able to boot into the twrp recovery just fine, however when i try to install the superuser.zip is when i get an error. Also someone said you should be able to just install the ROM as it already has superuser and busybox installed and should all be working.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Lightbulb! OK way better situation. Yes just flash a ROM. Sorry its late. I should go to bed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] movadoevo8:
Will do thanks for your help and good night.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lotare:
After buying the wrong one, I got the right HDTV adapter for the S3. Problem is, I have an unusual problem. The TV screen - not the phone - flashes off (no picture) everyone 8 seconds or so for a second to a second and a half. My G'F's S3 (we got them together) does not exhibit this problem. Mine is rooted - hers not. Anyone else having this problem and could it be related to root access or....is it just my phone that I am going to need to unroot and return? I hunted the adapter...and bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I am going to try to turn this into enough of a computer for all my school needs that I can honestly leave my laptop at home w/o fear...which would be awesomeness.

-Lotare

Sprint Samsung S3 - rooted using Odin, clockwork mod - stock rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ecooce:
Are you using the same dongle (im guessing so)? I would say its hardware, but return to stock to make sure. This could also be software hiccups.

Same hardware and dogle. I have new info from playing with it. Hers will do the same flashing screen if I have it plugged in poorly or if I move the dogle around while it is streaming the picture. No matter what I do it will not stop flashing so I suspect that I am not getting a clean enough connection at my phone. I am going to see what I can do to clean it tonight and if still no go I will take it up there and see about repair/replacement.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Obviously the EVO 4G LTE is superior as a device, but in a spot where I have to sell my EVO. I'm wondering if this would be a wise trade, and then I can sell an iPhone instead... They tend to have a great market and resale value. Which would likely fetch more money?

If you had to sell the EVO 4G LTE, and you were offered a like-new iPhone 4s (Sprint/Black/16 GB) as a straight up trade, would you do it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I would not but so many people would want it, problem is that now the iphone 5 is out and people want that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jay0911:
Even with the iphone 5 out you still probably would get more money for the 4S than you would get for the evo.

By the way I traded my 4S straight up for an evo lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] poison_blood:
for an iphone 4s you have to be joking right.....

I will do it if they offered me a note 2 A:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Ill do it to make money. Poor Evo is lucky to get $250 on ebay while a 4s will bring in $400.

I'll do it all day long.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] denverdan74:
iPhone is iJunk <Patent Pending>

Just the ability to swap memory chips alone is priceless enough on anything other than Apple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I heard the new ijunk comes with a compact flash slot *mind blown*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ItsTommyGun:
I was this close || to doing it. The only reason I decided against it is because the 4S is not 4G. If you can deal with slow 3G speeds, then go for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scott_0:
wouldnt even consider it, I had a 4s for about 13 days last November before deciding I couldnt deal with it any longer and went back to Android and picked up an Epic Touch which was leaps and bounds better imo than the 4s, the Evo is worlds ahead of the Epic Touch so no I wouldnt even think about it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IAmSixNine:
Debating which one is better on here is not what the original question was..

He asked if it made economical sense to even swap an EVO LTE for an iPhone 4s 16B on the same carrier.

As another individual mentioned, yes it does, the iPhone on the open market does hold its value used a lot better then an EVO LTE..

So to answer his question, Yes.

Amazon, Ebay and CraigsList are 3 places you can sell your EVO LTE and iPhone 4s and from the very little searching i did it looks like the iPhone does have a higher resale value.. If that is what your going to do.

Now if your going to keep it and use it then thats up to you..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Thanks guys, I think I'll try the trade.

Some of you who said the LTE was better than the iPhone, I'm aware of that. My question posed was regarding selling one or the other. I figured the iPhone would sell better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dreammaker23:
Nope I would not, I came from a iPhone 4, and 4S!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ItsTommyGun:
MY thoughts after spending several years with iphones, and now about 6 months with the EVO, is that Android is a MUCH MUCH MUCHO better OS than iOS. The thing that ultimately is going to take me back to iPhone when I can upgrade is the app situation. The apps on iPhone are SO much better than on Android. Even the same app held side by side on iphone and android is almost always going to be better on iPhone. They look better, feel better, function better, are more stable, have more options, etc...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jayjam99:
All of these answers are like Deja, deja, deja.......deja vu. :victory:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dreammaker23:
The only app that is better on the iPhone is FACEBOOK(period)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Lol. F**k no...

Sent from my Evo LTE because I threw that F***in iPhone out the window on the freeway.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Dude my friend at work just got the iPhone 5 and he's brand new to smartphones and I have never messed with an iPhone and that phone sucks! They say its more user friendly but I think its actually harder to work. It is also hyped it way to much. The iPhone 5 is such a boring blank slate of a device I was bored with it within 5 minutes. The lack of the back button on the phone also really pissed me off while looking thru apps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssinn:
I would trade for a note2

If your looking to make money and like apple products then go for it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Wow, reading comprehension in America must be at an all-time low...

The question posed was this: if you WERE GOING TO SELL YOUR EVO 4G LTE and had an opportunity to trade for an iPhone 4S IN ORDER TO SELL IT, would you (in order to get more money). Good God people. READ!

Like 2 people have answered this question accurately. Sorry for the caps rant... This has gotten annoying.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] steven.smith:
So I just bought the Xperia Go ST27a (note the "a"). My question is, will rooting the Xperia Go with firmware meant for ST27i work on ST27a? As far as I can tell, the only difference between the two is that ST27a uses different 3G frequencies. So while I think it would be safe to do so, I wanted to ask first before possibly messing up my phone.

So before I try doing this, does anyone know for sure if custom rooting for ST27i will work the same way (same files used) for the ST27a?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sxpu_nishant:
Rooting methods are same for a and I versions....jUst make sure that if you are flashing something using flashtool, you should check the exclude baseband option...(the one on right sidde of flashtool)(the option shouldbe ticked)

:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] steven.smith:
Thanks for the reply and thank you for giving me a heads up about exluding the baseband option (would not have done this if wasn't told to). Since it seems you sent the post from the ST25a, I think this is much more credible. Will try rooting and updating to ICS (not in that order) tonight. Any builds found on XDA that you would recommend?

I believe I saw CM7 or CM9 available, will probably start from there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] steven.smith:
Update:

As a follow up, I can now confirm that rooting methods and firmware/kernel upgrades for the ST27i also work with ST27a. I haven't been adventurous enough to try installing ICS yet though for ST27a, but I might get around to doing it. Not quite sure if I will do it soon though, because I honestly can't see the use of me upgrading to ICS because 2.3.7 works well for me. I'm not sure I really want to risk upgrading to ICS when it was designed for the ST27i, especially when the current GB 2.3.7 works perfectly fine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ironman43:
thank you for the update! this helps me. :highfive:

I'd post a link but not allowed to since I am under 10 posts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crazydad:
well it is a galaxy s 3 but its a mini.... it is coming with jelly bean on it...go figure a new phone for verizon with jelly and the original s 3 still without it!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCITNet:
Guess you never owned a new RAZR. ICS took forever and JB is a pipe dream. The new RAZR M just got JB so this is nothing new. Their focus is on selling new to market units, not throwing money at upgrading the OS on already sold units.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Funny thing is the S3 is still Verizon's best phone and well continue to be for now. Putting JB on it will just help sell more units as well as keep current customers happy.

Unfortunately Verizon does not care about keeping customers happy as long as they continue to hit their numbers every quarter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luis86dr:
Thats because Verizon prefers to push their "Droid" branded phones IMO.

They will eventually have to release a JB update. I'm just hoping source doesn't take too long to drop after it.

Samsung Galaxy S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sololhj:
I'm really really really hoping I'm wrong but based on Verizon's history, I'm not holding out hope that we will see JellyBean on our GS3s anytime soon.

Take for example the Galaxy Nexus, by all logic the Verizon version should have gotten JB update at the same time as the GSM version.

However from what I understand(I don't own one) the GSM Nexus got the JB update the last week of June (~27th), while Verizon Nexus owners didn't receive it till Sept 27th, almost 2 months later.

Even if you argue that it takes a little longer to create CDMA/LTE-JB compared to a GSM/LTE-JB that doesn't account for the 2 month time lag. Not when you have access to all of the source code and hardware roadmaps the Samsung does.

In fact, I don't think it has anything to do with Samsung at all. According to what I've recently read, Sprint GS3's are getting JB starting tomorrow.

That means Samsung has already created an acceptable Official CDMA/LTE-JB update that has already been vetted by Sprint that is set to start being pushed out tomorrow with absolutely no evidence of one even existing for Verizon(not even a whiff of a leak or anything)

I don't know why it takes so long, but I do know that it seems like Verizon never gets anything first, in fact they usually get everything last(not counting T-mobile)

At this point I've stopped checking the forum. I'm just hopping that I'll wake up one morning and see an update notification on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Rumor has it Sprint might be getting OTA JB update starting tomorrow. If that is true, way to go Sprint. That is how updates should roll out.

Guess we will see tomorrow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCITNet:
Putting JB on it won't sell more units. Most people don't know the difference and couldn't tell you the difference if they did a side by side comparison.

Google created this monster when it decided to make it open source with little control over how it's utilized. Apple devices cost more to the carrier and the carrier has little to no input on how the phone functions.

Apple made face time open for use over data where before it was wifi only. What did the carriers do, cry and get over it. Apple introduces imessage which circumvents regular texting lowering revenue from text messaging. What do the carriers do? Nada. Had it been android it wouldn't make it to our devices because they have no control over it. They release the OS, manufacturer builds it to the phones specs and then it's sent off to the carrier for bloating and restricting. Verizon is a service provider they have no business diddling around in an operating system.

Verizon as a customer centric business does have a great customer service. They're more responsive than most other carriers. However, they are in the business to make money and they want to maintain control of the very devices that could either make or break them. We phone enthusiasts are just a drop in the bucket to the millions of other customers that don't care what version OS their phone is on.

This is what draws people to Apple though. They should take a lesson if they want to compete on the long-term.

I'll never, ever, buy another Motorola phone again. They come out with a new phone every other month, and drop support entirely for their existing phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RCITNet:
Sprint is pretty good about updates but sometimes they are to quick on the draw. The S2 had some serious issues with one of the updates that would cause it to hard brick.

Sent from my Galaxy S III
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sololhj:
Dude you are wrong.

Most people don't know about & don't care about JB. Only the fanatics(ie people on XDA, me included) care one way or the other what version of Android is running on their phone.

This is even more true for IOS users. If OEMs didn't push updates to phones OTA most phones would never get updated. There are plenty of people who have there phones set up pretty much exactly the way it was coming out of the box.

I'd argue that your average Android user is a little bit more savvy about customizing his experience but mostly because there are more options, not necessarily because they are more tech savvy. Overall that average user isn't significantly more advanced than an average IOS user.

You would be surprised how many people purchase phones based on either the salesman's advice or the advice of a friend.

All of the talk of specs, fragmentation, OS updates is purely for the phone geek crowd.

Probably 1% of people are going to make their decision based on update version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I would much rather be on Verizons network running ICS as opposed to Sprints with JellyBean...I need service more than timely updates. We will get a update, until then im perfectly content with what development is currently active on this device. we dont need jellybean source to get the ril perfected anyway. all we need is a dev like jt1134 that wrote the mtd filesystem for the fascinate and hacked the ril to near perfection...he also was the main reason cm7 ever made it to the fascinate. That device barely got a gingerbread ota and that didnt happen till way after cm7 was released. point is, support your devs folks! they are the ones that will keep this device up to date after the carriers drop it. I never log on to xda for news on ota updates...things are so much different now than it use to be here and there is alot less dense information in these forums. Now 1 in 3 threads is about ota or root...lol

end /rant
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I never said I would rather be on Sprint. I left Sprint about 8 months ago after being with them for 15 years. I am just saying I am pretty surprised to see this update come out so quick for them. Would have guessed we would have seen it on AT&T or T-Mobile first. Whether you like Sprint or not is irrelevant, I do think it is kind of cool to see JB released already for them though. It shows that there head is in the right place.

To be honest, if Verizon's network was not leaps and bounds better then others I do not even think the company would exist right now. Choosing to lock bootloaders, blocking apps like Google Wallet, worst data plans, the slowest updates ever and basically not caring about what the customer wants does not sound to enticing. Once the other providers catch up they better start to change their tude or they will begin to see a huge decline in numbers.

I do think Sprint really f'd up and now they are trying to be the good guy. While their network was going to the ****ter instead of giving their customers reasons to stay they continued to remove features at a rapid pace. They removed the Premier program, removed discounts from any line but the first, raised their ETF fee, raised their insurance prices and I am sure I am missing a few other things. Maybe now they are realizing with a network as ****ty as theirs they need reasons to actually keep customers and not scare them away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
yea some very good points! sorry if you thought i was calling you out in regards to my last post. that post really was not directed towards you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boe:
I switched in February from Sprint after about a decade or more on Sprint. I think SPrint's network for voice coverage was great but their data became slower and slower each year. I will say though that for some reason Verizon's network doesn't seem to like Samsung phones. I had the ET4G on sprint (a samsung phone) and it never dropped a call - the HTC EVO 3D did all the time though even though my old EVO didn't. Since I've switched to Verizon - the Nexus was constantly dropping calls - I'd go from 4 bars to none - drop the call back to 4 bars without moving. Everyone kept on saying it was defective like people did with the EVO 3D on Sprint - went through 3 phones none solved the issue. Now I'm on the S3 and it also drops calls frequently even when I'm stationary - goes from 4 bars to none. The Motorola phones on Verizon don't seem to have this issue. My only guess is some people in different parts of the country are near a different type of Verizon tower using different technology as some people claim they don't have many call issues or that they don't use their phones to talk nearly as much as I use mine (it is my business phone as well as personal).

I use my phone for about 3000 minutes each month so I'm thinking about switching to the HTC DNA/DLX to see if it can hold a call better than the S3 does. I realize the Motorolas work well on Verizon's network - I just don't like the Motorolas that much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chamberc:
That's just strange... it does seem like a local issue. Having been on AT&T for years at least in the DFW market, there is no comparison on how reliable the network is. My wife and I have never had a dropped call on our S3 or her Razr since she got it last year.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boe:
I have had it happen to me at the DFW airport a few times but that could just be other interference. My friend in Witchita Falls has had it happen many times even though he gets full bars at his house. Mind if I ask how many minutes you use each month on your S3? I have about 5 friends on the S3 in the Los Angeles area and we all experience it on a regular basis even though I never experienced in on my ET4G on Sprint.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chamberc:
Very strange again... I'm in the terminals at DFW twice a week, and work and live within 5 miles of the north entrance in Las Colinas.

Between my wife and I, we use just over 1700 minutes a month. She works about 1/2 mile north of Belt Line and 635, so pretty close again to the airport.
