[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jamio88:
Well after having my last phone break (not being insured and no upgrade till May) I was left unable to afford a new phone. However my girl decided she wanted to get me a phone (and by that I mean, she pretty much yelled at me that she was buying me one no matter what, lol).

I was looking at This, the Galaxy SIII, and the Galaxy Note II. However being that I am a long time HTC fan (I have owned all HTC devices minus my Galaxy S Epic which broke WAY too fast) I opted to get this.

Should hopefully get it tomorrow (Should have been today but USPS "missent" my package), and I guess I was just curious as to how it will run things like the more "power intensive" games (Nova 3, GTAIII, Fpse) or will I need to get a Kernel that I can overclock?

(and I know I will find out tomorrow obviously, but I like to have all my ducks in a row file wise prior to getting the device, so I already have a rom picked out and all my roms setup so I can just drag and drop and be good to go with setting up the device)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fifasarajevo:
You shouldnt have problems running that stuff, mine doesnt at all and its on the stock CM10 kernel
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Runs all those games with ease, on stock even. Only games I have trouble with are gameloft, but that's their fault. They can't optimize games for any tegra or adreno powered device. This phone has the power to run everything well for sometime to come.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jamio88:
Right on. Thanks for the heads up guys.

Really glad to hear it since I had to run the Galaxy S at 1.3/1.4GHz to get GTA to run without any lag time (which of course caused the battery to drain WAY too fast)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jamio88:
Just figured I would post an update.

I for one have NEVER been happier with a phone. Can't believe I even doubted getting the LTE. The phone is super fast (even without overclocking it).

Right now I have it on HBoot 1.12 (S-On) with CM10 and while I am sure I will S-Off it at some point, right now I don't see a need for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You made a good choice. I just picked up my EVO LTE last week and I can't hardly put it down, much to the dismay of my wife (I rooted it shortly after I got home with it-HBOOT 1.12, no S-off....yet). I came from the OG EVO.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
You guys are definitely lucky in getting hboot 1.12. Even though there is a downgrade method now. I'm just curious as to why you are waiting to s-off your phones?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
+100 S-OFF makes life SO MUCH easier :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I need to look over Lazy Panda more. I'm concerned with the brick issue some people have had-that, and I've never used Linux or Ubuntu.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
I never used ubuntu either I did brick but ran the unbricker while watching the video posted on unlimited.io on which commands to use and worked like a charm as for running lazy panda just follow post 2 in the lazy panda thread to the letter and you should be fine :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jamio88:
I just have not had the time to do it yet. Will probably do so tomorrow.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] heliguide62:
the lazy panda method is really very simple... just make sure you follow instructions .. and you should have no probs
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jamio88:
I got bored so I am updating my SDK Manager right now then I am going to S-Off this thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jamio88:
And I am now LazyPanda S-Off

Was actually super easy (though it had me worried for a minute there). Gave me a slight error with the QHSUSB Drivers, and took 91 seconds instead of 30, but it ended up alright.

Now to see what I can do with this thing being S-Off, lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Congrats :D make sure you flash the lazypanda hboot

Pm me if you have any questions. :D

Sent from my POS MoPho :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jamio88:
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it. Right now just looking for a good ROM (Trying MeanROM ICS v6.0 right now).

Aside from that just looking into the benefits of being S-Off over S-On. I'll let you know if I need any help or have any questions though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billypilgrim:
Just got my LTE saturday as my upgrade from the og evo. I never rooted or played around with any of that with the og evo, but i decided to give it a shot with the lte. Right now i have hboot 1.19 (merely because i got a tad bit confused by meanrom's explaination of needing the latest firmware, so i used a 2.13 RUU).

Ive read through all the terminology and faqs for rooting 101, but still have quite a few questions:

1. In my work i use unix irix quite heavily, dont necessarily program in it, but i can navigate my way around directories, and run quite a few different search commands and the such. How similar is linux and ubuntu (sp?) to unix and irix?

2. S-off, it seems like it is a deeper form of rooting allowing you even greater access to the os. This seems like it more would benefit a dev, not necessarily someone like me who is just getting his feet yet? Since i am s-on, what cant i do that someone who is s-off can or vice versa?

3. With firmware 2.13 i have hboot 1.19. How exactly are these two related?

4. Also, much like question # 2: i understand that someone with hboot 1.15 or 1.19 cant necessarily get s off, unless you follow yarrpirates walkthrough to downgrade, but what is really the difference between 1.15 and 1.19 or between 1.19 and 1.12, besides the obvious s-off/s-on difference?

I would really like to learn more about rooting, so any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Lots of questions, bear w me.

#1) The linux and Unix file system are pretty much identical. All of the commands u would run will be the same. Haven't run Unix in awhile or linux for that matter but linux was built from Unix. And really man, u won't need any knowledge in linux to s-off. The directions are set up so easy a monkey could do it. Those monkeys are pretty smart tho. Rivals some humans. Lol

#2)S-off is not just for devs at all. Really, for u being so new to everything u should s-off because it makes things easier/run into less problems. S-off compared to hboots 1.15-1.19 allows access to all partitions not just some like root only. Read the "dont panic" thread for more in-depth explanations.

#3) The last ota (over the air) update from sprint/htc updated the firmware to 2.13 and the hboot to 1.19. U just have the latest stock firmware. Not much else to it. U just need to downgrade for soff like u would with 1.15 (the hboot/ota update previous to yours).

#4) Last I heard there was really no difference other than the patched exploit that was used to obtain s-off on hboot 1.12. U really must not worry yourself about such things. The hboot is just the bootloader that is like the bouncer for a club. He denies u if u don't have the correct attire (md5) or are a forever alone neckbeard (pass key verification). Their may be some added tools to the newer hboots, but it really isn't anything u will need, or need to worry about since u aren't going to be a dev.

It may sound scary to u at first and u don't want to hurt your new baby. To be perfectly honest though, the people who have issues fail to follow instructions and don't read thru most of the thread.

Just read until ur feel comfortable with doing it. U may still be nervous, but it is worth the sense of accomplishment at the end. Based on all your questions so far I believe u will be just fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Iandv:
I've searched everywhere and it seems that the only method is to root is debugsf. For some reason it doesn't work. I've ran the tool 50 times and failed with different results. I'm on stock 4.03 and I already unlocked, but i don't see how that will effect it as I've tried to root before the unlock. Why does it not work? How can I root a different way?
[Asus Transformer TF700] danger-rat:
If you're unlocked, then you can flash a custom recovery via fastboot. Check out the all-in-one thread in the general section...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
If you do not want to unlock just yet, you can downgrade using the .30 ICS update from Asus.com than you can root, use OTA rootkeeper to backup the root, and update to .18 again. There are several posts on this forum, explaining how to do exactly that in great detail.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
The OP is on version 4.03 and already unlocked.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Firebrazer:
Well, guess I should have read the OP more carefully then ˆˆ
[Asus Transformer TF700] Iandv:
I took a look at the fast boot option and went to the thread you pointed me out to and the instructions are not clear at all. Its says that I have to put the twrp.blob in the same directory as fastboot.exe. Well where the hell is the fastboot.exe directory? I tried to update to the official jb so I use that rooting method, but noooo the stock recovery is retarded and can't find the internal sd, so I only have the option to factory reset, wipe cache or reboot. Can anyone help me? WTF am I doing wrong? I've rooted 5 android devices so far and this is the only time where it seems impossible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Maybe I could give some insight.

Just went thru this recently.

For myself I used fastboot while connected to a Windows PC.

A PC will need to have Google SDK installed (might be best to search Google for the SDK installion procedure)

You can also get what you need in something called Platform Tools.

Fastboot from the stock recovery connects via USB to the Advanced Developer Bridge thru a command window.

Once this command window (ADB) on the PC is open boot to stock recovery on the tablet.

Select the USB option using the volume button.

The PC bridge window should show device available with the serial number of the tablet (if I remember correctly)

From the prompt you can type the appropriate command to write or flash things to the tablets system.

Hope other smarter guys chime in here because I really don't want to lead you in the wrong direction...

This link is kind of intimidating, yet it may be of some use...it refers to another device.

SDK works for all Android phones and tablets tho...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Iandv:
Yay I finally got twrp on here and I'm about to flash clean rom. Searched the pc for fastboot.exe and there it is. I had to install twrp through fastboot and it took 3 times before I realized I needed to update my sdk tools. Tried again with profit.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] mcdietz:
For about two months I have been scouring the web looking for a way to root my wife's Huawei Ascend ii (M865c) from Straight Talk. I wasn't getting anywhere. I looked and tried any exploits I could find: zergrush psneuter rageagainstthecage motofail gingerbreak. Finally I stumbled across a new one called poot that was developed by a genius over at phandroid, giantpune. I created a walkthrough for rooting this phone using his method, however, he still deserves all the credit. You can find my guide by clicking on this link

http://androidforums.com/ascend-2-all-things-root/641614-finally-rooted-m865c-straight-talk.html

In overview, you need to download poot.apk and ministro.apk and install both.

Then open poot.apk, it will download some needed libraries.

Then select the button to root the phone.

You will then need to reboot.

That should be it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crizthakidd:
the one X made me fall in love with IPS plus, and the battery life on my phone with good use still gets to 22 % at 11pm which is vital for a college student as the few hours after 11 are the most important haha. anyway i want to know if it is worth selling it and buying this phone. i use straight talk with atnt towers and get good reception. im actually on my mac right now with no internet connection just tethering due to the hurricane.

i want the nexus 4 because of the supposed 300ppi and the pure android. i used to love sense but now i cant stand it. the one thing that would be a deal breaker for me is the camera. who can compare the one x camera and screen vs the nexus 4 that should help me decide. other then that i think the phone is brilliant and the pricing is unbeatable i strongly urge people to really support this phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt1408:
I'm sorry to say but the One X has a pretty terrible camera. I'm not sure if a part of it is due to CM10 not having the right drivers/settings/etc... but all my photos come out out-of-focus or really grainy. If you look up the shots from the N4, they look pretty good.

I am switching over to a N4 just because I love having stock Android. And as great as the CM community is, they are useless if the manufacture doesn't release the source code for their stuff. The Nexus series has the advantage of being completely supported by Google and custom ROMS should have little to no bugs on them.

I love my One X LTE, and I am willing to sacrifice LTE just for the AOSP.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
I've heard the One X has a slightly better looking screen than the Optimus G, which should be the same for the Nexus 4. 6 more ppi on the Nexus 4 if you're into that though
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I would upgrade because of battery life. I would be shocked if the nexus 4 doesn't get better battery life than the One x cause the One X has horrible battery life. When I had it, I had to limit my usage to have some juice left when I got home in the evening.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nubzori:
Me, I'll give my One X to my father and make him buy me the Nexus 4 :D. This way I can check them both out at the same time

Looking for 5hrs+ screen on time with 28nm snapdragon and 2100mah battery :)

Reasons why I upgrade from HTC One X:

- Instant android upgrades, no more waiting.

- Hope for better battery life

- Bad ass dev support (One X has great dev support also)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
I'm keeping both, but if storage isnt a problem then it would be a nice upgrade, not necessary. I had great battery life with jellybean.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expertzero1:
when i had the one x i get about 2 hours of on screen time which was poor. Compared to 3-4 hours on screen time....

So hopefully the nexus delivers with lg's high density battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timlambo:
Battery life and camera is not that bad on the one x. You can't judge a phone by not using the official software. CMX(10) on hox does have sh**ty camera performance because there is no camera drivers being used.

I think battery life would be better on the nexus 4 compared to the one x. Camera wise it might be tight, as the hox have some nice outdoor performance with the camera but not so good indoor and with poor lighting conditions. It will be tight to match the screen of the hox but it won't be bad.

You stated that you hate sense, so if that's the case I would advise you to move to this then. You should just remember that you would have a lot less memory available. The one positive is that you will always receive updates first with the nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbkkt1:
I like sense... Just wish it wasn't a memory hog. I do miss my sense clock, and friendstream.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogueblade:
I also am wondering if I should change from my One X to the Nexus 4....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliHTCDHD:
I want to change but the sense skin features text wrap and its full screen web browsing, I've used chrome and dolphin they don't support text wrap or full screen with the status bar and tabs still appearing which takes a lot of screen space. Other then that I think the nexus 4 is a brilliant upgrade just waiting for the reviews, camera and dac are important to me since these where less impressive on the hox.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErikWithNoC:
I'm waiting on reviews of the Nexus 4, but I'm heavily considering it. I really like the look of the Nexus 4, the fact that its stock Android, and that it has wireless charging. I imagine I'd be able to resell my One X for, at the very least, $300 (hopefully $350).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brac20:
I intend to upgrade if I can find someone to buy my One X off me. There are 2 main reasons for me;

1. Battery life should be alot better. My phone lasts me the day usually but not with heavy use. The 40nm Tegra 3 chip just isn't very energy efficient when in use and the battery isn't big enough.

2. Pure android. I like Sense but my Nexus 7 has made me love AOSP android. I will miss the Sense dialer but nothing else really bothers me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leventccc:
As a one x user I will buy nexus 4. Not because I don't like htc one x, its a great phone but I never owned a nexus phone and this nexus is a beast!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outz:
i'd say yeh, definitely cm10 causing this. it makes my s3 pictures look horrible as well. so basically im stuck w/ touchwiz unless i want ****ty pictures. that's a good enough reason to get an n4 for sure.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crizthakidd:
awsome. im getting around 350$ for my hox so i guess its an easy upgrade for me. thanks guys cant wait to enjoy true aosp. sense is awsome much better than touchwiz for sure but definitely great. my battery was good because of mods i did but anyway if the nexus is supposed to get 4 hours on screen then hell yea im switching. i saw the 3d panorama and the wireless charging and now im def on board. see you guys around the roms forums and enjoy ;D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intern:
I would, it's a better phone, it'll have better dev support and even better, you can probably cover the cost of it by selling your One X. No brainer.

Oh yes, I'm willing to let go my international HOX for N4 as long as I can sell my HOX around N4 price.

It's no brainer for me. I've been hating HOX battery life so much, and not-so-good-as-advertised-camera quality.

At first, I really love Sense UI. After using it for months, I'm fedded up, and hate the lag, especially after using AOSP/AOKP roms which is very smooth.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abe in space:
Depends on how much you can sell it for. If you can make money on it, I'd go for it. If you can't, I wouldn't unless you're made of money.

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

Nope; alive and well. They do take a substantial chunk of your money (~11% between eBay & PayPal combined fees), but that's a heck of a lot less than any of the "recycling" centers will take, since they resell the phones for a profit. eBay also has a huge audience of buyers, so you'll get the best price there you'd get anywhere. They're certainly exploitative douchebags, but they get away with that because of what they offer you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxygennn:
I was considering the swap from my HOX to an N4 however the lack of a 32gb model has soured my consideration. It's bad enough that the HOX doesnt include MicroSD. As i use dog catcher to pull all my podcasts it can quite quickly fill up my internal SD.

I'll be purchasing a N4 for my girlfriend so i'll still get an opportunity to play with what appears to be an amazing phone.

I'm fairly satisfied with my HOX anyway, I've found no hardware issues and currently running CM10 with Bricked Kernel. It doesn't crash/hang and the battery life is as good as ARHD which i was previously using.

Though ill admit, i was a big fan of Sense 4.0 when i first received my HOX, after using CM10 there's no way im ever going back!

Besides the Physical appearance of the HOX looks so much nicer then the N4, Plus its white! cmon!

So after flashing aosp Rom I can't seem to flash anything other than sense 3.6 roms. Why I try I get a constant booting. I'm s-on and also I've noticed the roms with kernel zip built in. The PH98IMG doesn't install on ad card. But zips flashed in recovery do. Also bootfast isn't working either, even tho phone is recognized by computer. Any help would be appreciated on this thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] abrego47:
if you can't get to fastboot then you have the zip from another file on there. delete that then in order to get that certain rom to work you have to extract the roms boot.img and fastboot flash on pc.
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
Done that, even tried funky kernel. Three weeks now no change. Thanks tho
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Have you tried flashing an ruu? Returning to stick would be one of you best options if possible..
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
Not yet. Was thinking of that as a last resort. Starting to look like I'll have to.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
I'd you go e it a try let is know.. in case any one runs into the same problem.
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
RUUed back and problem continues, next I guess to S-OFF ????:confused:
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Personally I don't know if that would help, well....actually I don't see why it wouldn't cuz the s-off process will wipe everything.. I'd say do it and flash somethin fresh, don't nandroid after.. try a sense 4 Rom fresh.. if it still doesn't go id try flashjg another aosp Rom that is known not to cause this problem your havig, then try flashing s4 again.. I'm really curious as to why this is happening.. I'm not sure if any of this would help but these are the steps I personally would take to try and trouble shoot..
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
Crazy is, the problem seems to be something to do with kernels. I can only flash one all others even funky kernel with install thru fastboot, but the out come is the same. Continuous booting. At this point I don't see S-_OFF will fix the problem either. I ruued twice factory reset and used Scott's ten wipe and clean installs only to in up with the same out come.
