So your saying you can't get into bootloader but, you got into TWRP?

The correct way to get into bootloader is hold power+vol down until screen goes off, then release power button.

If that doesn't work you can try to open bootloader through the fastboot cmd prompt.(if you ahve Win7 just open the file where fastboot is, hold shift+right click and you can open the prompt from there)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vowelsounds:
Just tried this, cmd prompt reads "waiting for device". I am glad to know someone else got out of this :/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WhatTheAndroid?:
What he said, but after your phone powers off, when i held it for around 7 more seconds, it booted into bootloader when i did it .But try both methods.I was stuck in a bootloop as well, you will be fine. I forgot commands for fastboot, but if anyone wants to tell them to him he could prob get into fastboot by command prompt mabye?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
type "fastboot devices"

your serial number should be on the screen if fastboot recognizes your phone. but I was always able to get into bootloader through commands on the phone.

Also, I can't thank Absolutelygrim and a few others whom I can't think of their names for helping me out of that situation.

ANYTHING Absolutelygrim says, I would listen and take note.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vowelsounds:
No I couldn't get into either, but I just did the power+voldown until screen off then hold vol down thing, and I got into bootloader and from there to recovery. I am going to flash a backup &c &c...

You people are so amazing!! Saved my life! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

It's always best to Nandroid before you flash a ROM.

I didn't and I almost made my phone into a very expensive paperweight. Thank god for RUUs.

I also tried to flash a ROM that was for the international version and not the XL which is our phone.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Gazzz:
I have the same problem as this guy, but when I hol the volume down button, it has no effect... I hold vol down and power, lights flash 15 times, I keep holding volume down while phone reboots, but no matter how long I hold it down, it just stays at the HTC legal screen.

Was running CM 10.0, and updated to 10.1 (9-3-2012 nightly) with 3-03-2013 GAPPS, via TWRP. Made a backup before flash, Installed both the zips succefully, pressed reboot, and now it doesn't get past the legal screen, and no button pressing is getting me back to TWRP =(

I replaced the screen once, and the volume buttons behaved differently after I re-assembled. Both the buttons work, but they act differently. Pressing vol down or vol up both bring up the volume dialog, but instead of increasing or decreasing the amount, it swtiches between mute and non mute. So I'm thinking the button is not actually doing a 'volume down' action. Any thoughts?

AND, how do you actually turn this device off? It keeps turning itself back on after the 15 flashes.

Thanks for any help.

[HTC One S] tsokira:
Hi everyone,

I'm new to the Android world (obviously) Yesterday I flashed the T-mobile RUU (2.35) and I am with Virgin Mobile Canada (silly why I did this). I got a 2nd HTC One S from my carrier after I couldn't use the T-mobile ROM on my phone (No data network etc).

Now that I have the second phone that has the stock ROM for my carrier, is there a way for me to backup that device and push or restore to the old HTC One S to remove the T-mobile ROM? Looks like my HBOOT was updated to 1.14. If I do a nandroid, will it work on the old phone with HBOOT 1.14 or does this get downgraded as well?

What other options do I have to get back to something that actually works? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Anybdy know whats it 14 mb file software update...?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Just a guess: Maybe it is the update from XWLPX to XWLPY.

As you are on SiyahKernel right now, I doubt that the OTA update will work properly.

Maybe you wil have to flash the stock kernel again before it works fine ... or use Odin (or Mobile Odin app) to flash the latest firmware yourself.

Good luck !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon:
Hi all. Super-happy T889 owner (since zero-day), and would be grateful for any advice with some basic questions. Been following and searching bot this and the N7100 "umbrella" thread, so thanks in advance for any help.

My experience with root is essentially CWM and Titanium Backup (no custom kernals/ROMs). I rooted my Note1 (int'l unlocked) but never ventured beyond 2.3.6 and LC1 because (i) it wasn't my primary phone and (ii) fear. My main phone on Verizon was also rooted, but more like rooted and potatoed. I switched from VZ to Tmo for the T889 and I love it. I kind of want to root even if just for CWM and Titanium, but the pure stock experience is stable and fast, and the bloatware from Tmo is not remotely close to VZ. And I'm fairly hopeful that we'll get the multi-window via OTA update.

Questions - Would root provide any fundamental performance improvements with CPU/GPU/memory usage/general kick-assery on this device?

Are others waiting to see how the multi-screen updates play out?

Am I being overly cautious because VZ made things so difficult?

Is it accurate that the "disable" capability in Jelly Bean provides some native ability to freeze applications?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
Root not do any performance , only allow root app do tweak and completely control your phone which without root you can't do ( rom tool box , titanium back up,ram manger app ...etc ).

If you try disable APP with native option come with phone, APP will come back running.( titanium backup can permenant disable,backup,restore,uninstall APP system app which without root can't do).

Over caution is good , if you go right direction then why should you worry for :o

If you only plan to root but keep close to stock as possible .you can try Chaifire auto root ( stock recovery include not custom CWM & remember never flash anything from stock recovery) .

About multi screen, I hope Developer will add into there custom rom.

Hope this help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deleted member 2747343:
use chainfires autoroot and install adblock and setcpu and titanium backup

with setcpu you can change the governor to performance and your phone will get 6500 in quadrant lol or you can underclock it to 1ghz and stock governor to save a lot of battery power, i had my screen on for 6 hours and 30 minutes and still had 30% battery and the performance was still great

with titanium backup delete all the garbage they added to the phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon:
Yeah. I decided to root with CF-Auto-Root and that was about as painless as could be. But I don't see/remember how to access CWM. Is that a separate download? CF's root guide doesn't seem to reference CWM.

Thanks much for your guidance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deleted member 2747343:
auto root keeps everything stock it just roots the phone to get CWM you need to install it separately, i dont have it yet i just kept it stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
You can use the galaxy note2 toolbox to install CWM, but unless you're flashing alternative ROMS/KERNELS/MODS you dont need it.

To my knowledge, if you are rooted you cant get OTA updates normally. However if you just keep reading these forums or other tmonews sites, you'll here about the multiwindow updates and how to install. Alternatively, a dev will probably find out how to make a Tmo compatible ROM with the N7100 sw features built in before we get an update from Tmo...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] doubledragon:
Thanks to all for all the knowledge. I was thinking of the CWM backup functions which let me do a complete restore via recovery mode. Is there a different solution for that these days?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] blackstallion1234:
Did you follow all steps as the OP in that post mentions? How about those wipes? (Wipe only cache partition and the dalvik-cache, if required; NOT /system). Assuming you successfully "installed" the Cybershot mod, I presume you do have a recovery installed (CWM, for example)?

(Assuming you did not make a Nandroid backup) Flash stock FTF files from the FAQ here. Instructions on how to use Flashtool are here.

So on the lock screen on CM10 M2, you can have shortcuts on the lock screen, "slider shortcuts." One of the sliders, the 4th from the right, doesn't show up. I assigned a direct dial on that space and it doesn't appear or activate. I also tried with apps, it didn't work. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jengkhit:
I've previously owned the first Gen of Galaxy S phone. It's been a long time since I did rooting of phone. Just checking again:

1) Will rooting erase any data?

2) Is it troublesome to unroot in the event of wanting to update firmware in the future?

3) Will rooting solve the issue of not being able to move apps to SD?

Jellywiz is actually the only rom I have ever tried, I am new to flashing roms but so far this rom has been stable and has given me everything I need, I have had no reason to switch to another one.

Current ROM: CM (CyanogenMod 10) M2

Stable?: Yes (some facebook crashes)

Previous ROM: CleanROM 2.5, 3.0, 3.1, Synergy r77

Why these ROMs?:

I've been on the search for a ROM that fits me, something that doesn't have too many customization options, but at the end that didn't seem to work out so well for me. CM10 M2 does have a little bit more customization options, but at the end, it feels amazing to use. I haven't ran into any kind of performance problems, just a couple of facebook crashes, but that might not be due to CM10, maybe just facebook problems?

All of these roms are amazing.

CleanROM is great if you're looking for something.. well.. clean? There's not too many add-ons or options to change, just a little de-bloat ROM with performance tweaks. Overall it's nice and clean.

Synergy had a lot of useful options and a lot of features, but because of my OCD personality, I just couldn't handle the ROM. When I think I messed up one thing on the ROM, i had to do a complete wipe... T____T but overall, awesome ROM.

Why these ROMs? Honestly i love AOSP and having that pure google feeling on my phone. Touchwiz is nice and synergy does one hell of a job with there roms but i can't get away from AOSP. Its faster, smoother, and i just prefer it. As far as choosing liquid, well its been by far the best AOSP rom i've run on my SIII, and i used them back on my OG Droid days so that helps as well. Anyways yeah thats it :)

I really cannot live without the theme chooser in aosp, so tw jb's will need some dark horse/jellybomb/etc to send me back.... ;) Eclipse has been very hard to top for me, will be giving liquid a go though soon.

Why these ROM's ??

I have been on the look out for a ROM that merges the functionality of Touchwiz but removes the bloat. I have tried a couple of ROMs based on the stock android experience but there were a couple of features like in phone - swipe to right to call, swipe to left to message missing (but present in touchwiz) that I absolutely loved. Just to clarify, I really did not find any problems with the other ROM's like CM10 or LiquidSmooth. It's just my preference for the Touchwiz features that made me use CleanROM.

With the bootloader unlocked and custom recovery (CWM) installed, you can flash custom ROMs. Only difference with unlocked bootloader versus true S-Off, is that you have to extract the boot.img file from the ROM zip, and flash it separately using fastboot (Flyer connected to your PC).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
That all sounds right.

With the addition of:

5) Extract boot.img from custom ROM zip file.

6) Flash boot.img using fastboot

As already mentioned, I didn't have to go the bootloader unlock method, as I have full S-Off. But this is my understanding from what I've read, and flashing ROMs on my HTC One X phone is similar.
