[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xampel:
Ive been keeping up with the ThinkTank 2.20 thread since page 20... we finally have root.. Awesome! Thanks to djrbliss!

My Background: Every device Ive ever owned Ive flashed with custom firmware, Ive had the iPhone since iPhone1. A few weeks ago I decided I was tired being a part of the system and i threw it on the ground. I bought the HTC One X solely because I eventually want to build my own ROM for security and functionality reasons. Now that we're unlocked, i need to know where to start. With so many posts of different ROMs and Tutorials... none of them seem to relate to each other so its hard for me to learn the basics. So here I am.

My Device: HTC One X 2.20 ATT

Current Status: Tampered, Unlocked with Evita PVT SHIP S-ON RL

Rom I want to use - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1946784

Question

The ROM itself is only 6mb... that cant be the full size of the ROM to be flashed can it? what am I missing? am i supposed to copy other required files from the ROM.zip to the phone by USB transfer in normal boot or what? Ive put the boot.img in the same "android" folder along with the fastboot and adb files, Ive followed the tutorials, I've tried the one click GUI program somewhere on here... its still not working.

Request:

Can someone explain to me the basics of rooting, recovery image, installing superuser, and installing ROMs and how the whole process works? I might be able to figure out how do these "basic tasks" myself if I understood. I'm just so confused with such an information overload that its hard to find out whats necessary and whats preference.

Most importantly - Ive completely wiped my phone in the process of trying this (i was aware it was going to happen so its cool) but I still have original ROM with ATT bloatware. It just doesn't make sense to me...

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
Your right that's not the size of the Rom a Rom will be 400 mb at least ... I believe the thing u downloaded was just an update...now go to main dl link to the left of the one b...if there isn't any full roms I can give u a mirror ...I'd suggest trying viper xl or one of the other roms too their all good :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xampel:
I downloaded the full rom (was 500 somthing mb) but from everything ive read, it tells me to extract the boot.img inside and thats all i use? do i rename the full rom zip to "boot.img" and run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ?

I wanted to know if its fixable in home conditions. Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noahk423:
That person wasn't very smart as it is, loading AT&T firmware? Never heard of that one, but anyways, looks like they might have a broken imei number. Among other things. It seems like it would be a hassle to fix those things, if they are even fixable, most likely, but I'm too lazy to search right now. I'm sure you can probably find another fully working one for only a little more.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DankoFGL:
It are completly fixable, it just delete the baseband info, you will need KDZ_FW tool and reflash an froyo stock rom on it, after that you flash with the same tool a 21y and you have your phone working with the last stock rom from LG and baseband from march 2012...

search for guides to repair a briked G2X...

PD: this cellphone is IMPOSIBLE to brick or damage, the mine has been bricked with H/W screen update, rebooting to recovery only, Bootloops, deleted baseband with no battery, baseband, or imei info, and even a short circuit chargin it, and i put it in the fridge for 10 mins and it worked again...

Undervolted the phone a little bit and made some other minor teaks with STweaks, and battery life is great.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
The rules .

All kinds of Best Rom/Kernel/etc threads are unwelcome, read, research and make your own mind up, as the question is very subjective.

A Sticky

Guys,

There has been so many "Which is the best ROM?" and "Which is the best kernel?" threads lately.

This is a reminder.. these kind of threads are NOT allowed.

Why are they not allowed? Well because that the best rom and kernel for me might be the worst for someone else. It's subjective. It's like asking who the hottest girl in the world is. Or which sports car is the best. If you ask 100 people you will get 100 different answers.

The best advice is to try them all and figure out which one is best for YOU and YOUR needs. Not based on what's best for someone else.

official warnings if it continues.

I have CM10 Nightlies installed on my Verizon GS3, and I'm not sure what happened, but I have searched everywhere, and can't find anything on this. Was on my phone today, and once it locked and I went to unlock it no longer did I see the stock jellybean unlock screen. The one I have now is very plain, and boring which won't even let you change wallpaper. I didn't update anything so how did this happen? Someone please help me on this.
[General Questions and Answers] twinsen.net:
Maybe this is bug in CM10, as it is NIGHTLY? Try to wait for another one, and check if it resolve your problem.

Follow the changelog for your device: http://changelog.bbqdroid.org and trace changes according to this behaviour.

[General Questions and Answers] wakeslayer:
Thanks for that. However don't really think it's that because I have tried a Odin restore to stock, and tried several different nightly builds, and had no luck. It worked perfectly for like two weeks. As soon as I do an upgrade it works and I see the sparkle unlock screen for one unlock and then it just switches on me as soon as I lock again.
[General Questions and Answers] wakeslayer:
So after two days of going crazy with this. I thought I would post this in case anyone else runs into this issue. Somehow after upgrading to a new nightly build my accuweather app had enabled itself as the lock screen. Disable voila!! Back to normal.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliguu:
sorry might be a noob question..

but since im still fresh to android environment i better ask before do.

i only want to root be able to use titanium backup and cerberus and maybe few other main stream root apps.

But even with just [root+stock] setup, i've seen posts indicating device being unstable or not as smooth after rooting... could this be true?

is this ok with SN2 at the moment?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craighwk:
You will always be at the mercy of the developer. They are humans too, so sometimes they will have a release that breaks a feature, but the good developers keep on top of problems and fix them best they can. There are plenty of phones that have highly stable ROMSs. It may take a few releases before a ROM gets stable, but plenty get there.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
No kernels at all. There is no source to build them from.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qudwis:
Then are there any ways to make the rom run smoother?

any mods or tweaks?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Atm the best you could do is tweak the kernel some. Try using the v6 supercharger and see if that helps any.

Specifically in America, which should have a better chance of funding, NASA or PBS?
[Off-topic] :
Very interesting question. I would say keep funding PBS because the there is no single source of reliable, reputable, news source that isn't publicly funded.

As a scientist, I often struggle to find out what good could come from NASA even if they have an enormous budget. I'm not sure most people realize the single most important contribution from NASA has nothing to do with space. They led to the development of modern computers and the digital revolution. Plenty of companies would be willing to make a similar investment.
[Off-topic] Ichigo:
PBS
[Off-topic] tiwey:
according to this chart, distributed by PBS, they do not need government funding. Especially since it only account for 18.1% of their income for 2009.

NASA is a powerful institute that shows how advanced the US is compared to the rest of the world, its like the epitome of space races against china, russia, north korea, etc..

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I've noticed on mine that I could have a strong roaming signal on Verizon, but if the phone even catches a whiff of a Sprint signal, it tries to switch to Sprint and data is lost. When it's doing that, roam only fixes it as you've noticed.

[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Well if his phone roams fine in roam only mode, then the prl is fine.

What's likely happening is what Coal said. If your phone is on automatic, it tries it's hardest to stay on sprint at all times. Even if the signal is very very low, it will try to stay on it at all costs. Of course, we all know that's not how it should be, as that just kills the battery. I don't know if this is a rom issue or just a phone issue. You could try flashing back to a GB rom and see if it's any better.
[HTC EVO 3D] propagandax:
It may be trying to stay on sprint but I literally was out of the sprint network for 3 hours and had no service, none. So I am leaning towards a ROM glitch or maybe radio but I dont know much about the radio part.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Maybe is is Android 4.0+ or the new firmware because I used to travel through a bad spot on the way to work and woudl roam, for a while now I just loose signal now even though I am on automatic.

If it skips then change the buffer amount so it won't skip.

This recovery is an older port. For a source build version see this thread

UNOFFICIAL CWM 6.0.1.2 non-touch

NOTICE: I am not responsible for your device!​

NOTE: This CWM was ported from VZW SGS3

I have successfully ported CWM to our device. It is NOT an official release, nor is it built from source.. I'm still working on that one. BUT, for now, we have this. This has been tested on my device. I've successfully made a backup, wiped

everything

, and restored. Device is still alive :)

YOU MUST BE ROOTED!

How to flash:

1. Download CWM 6.0.1.2 to the root of your SD Card -- *old thread*

2. From Terminal emulator or ADB do the following:

From ADB

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery

From Terminal

su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery

Congratulations! You should now have a functional CWM recovery.

Once you got custom, NEVER accept an OTA!. Verizon released an OTA for the SCH-I705 that makes changes to recovery, boot, and aboot, THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK YOUR ROOT AND UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! DO NOT ACCEPT!

TO RETURN TO STOCK RECOVERY

Follow the same procedures above, except flash this recovery instead of the CWM recovery.

*Old thread*

Thanks to:

ruben00 - for helping me out with repacking

invisiblek - for his mkbootimg cmdline values, they worked!

Whoever built the GS3 recovery I ported.. Can't remember for the life of me.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BEERSHARK:
Naturally, most of us are excited about the launch of WP8 and the new models and am sure many of us will rush out and get them.

But, will MS make this easier for us than at present.

The Zune backup is laughable, you only backup when you get a software upgrade and you can only restore to the original phone, not a replacement (if original was faulty say) or upgrade.

I know there are a few very useful workarounds at present, but none I believe allow you to restore a backup to another device. A backup being different of course to a sync to the cloud / Zune / PC.

I am running Win8 preview and expect to upgrade to the release version next week. I believe Zune is being replaced as well.

Question:- Is MS going to make this transition easy for us with WP8, Win8 & Zune replacement or will we lose lots of valuable data??? Damn hope so!
