I had a Thunderbolt when Verizon's LTE network went live so I was one of the few that got to experience the 50mbps speeds before the network was as big/full as it is now.. And really T-Mobile HSPA+42 in Chicago isn't the worst thing in the world. Hell I was getting by on AT&T GoPhone speeds for a while.. It really isn't a huge deal. Also AT&T band 4 LTE is only confirmed live in like, Oklahoma.

Hi,

I'm running a Vodafone HOX+ with

Android: 4.1.1

Sense: 4+

Software: 1.14.161.18

HTC SDK API: 4.63

HTC Extension: Sense45_1

Kernel: 3.1.10-g262c6aa

Baseband: 3.1204.167D.31

Build: 1.14.161.18 CL122573

CID: VODAP102

Now I'd like to root it an run Evolution HD 5.1 on it.

Could someone point me at the most important threads in order to get me through the process.

I already loaded the ROM. Do I need to flash a Firmware as well?

What role does my CID play with regard to rooting?

I'm no complete noob. I rooted and flashed several ROMs to a defy+. Pain in the ass BTW.

Used Clockwork mod back then. Eversince I had Clockwork mod on it, flashing new ROMs was very easy from that point.

Thanks in Advance.

Probably the best one, Its all in one!
[HTC One X+] pebrille:
I followed the instructions. When I got to "Flash your kernel" I flashed the Kernel delivered by the Android HD Revolution 5.1 thread.

Now my phone won't boot. I just get the white screen with the htc logo. Is this a boot loop?
[HTC One X+] Backmankiller:
Pretty much. Did you flash a recovery after you unlocked your bootloader?
[HTC One X+] pebrille:
I accidentally flashed "your own recovery" first. Whatever that may be.

Then I flashed CWM (INTL Model) and after that once again flashed "Your own recovery".

Like the tool said I then put then Boot.IMG into the kernels folder an then ran "Flash kernel".

Now I can hold the off button and the screen goes black for like 3-5 seconds and then it goes on again (without my interaction).

Then it gets back to the htc logo.

Sometimes the red LED above the screen is constantly on. Sometimes it's constantly off.

Please help :(
[HTC One X+] Backmankiller:
I might be wrong but the kernel that comes with that rom is already in the zip file for that rom. So all you have to do if boot your phone into recovery mode and install from sd card the zip file and it should do everything for you unless you have a different kernel!
[HTC One X+] pebrille:
I went into recovery mode and was able to install the ROM. After it I said reboot and it's still not getting beyond the htc logo...

Do I need to wipe cache or something after installing ROM?

Update:

After installing ROM it's gotten worse. I'm not able to go into recovery mode any longer. I see Clockwordmod Recovery loading, then the phone reboots. Tried several other images, also TWRP, but it's also rebooting.

Somebody ?
[HTC One X+] pebrille:
I flashed the image that was in the zip after flashing the Rom for several times and then my phone suddenly worked. Thanks for the help

Hey all, this is for those who had a defect with their first Nexus 4, and had to call Play Support and request a new one.

When you call in, you place the order while on the phone, they e-mail you while on the phone. How many days between that and actually receiving a notice that Google is shipping it out?

I placed a replacement order 4 days ago and have heard nothing since..

Just curious, and also might help others that are curious, thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
Considering that 4 days ago was a weekend, and they won't ship anything on weekends + 2-3 Business days to process your order, you will probably get shipping details on the 6th or 7th (could be tomorrow.)

And I don't think the DC knows whether your order was for a replacement or not since you had to order the replacement from the play store, so it might get shuffled behind those that have place orders ahead of you.

I was going to process a replacement (RMA/Shipping Label email is sitting unread in my Inbox); but decided to wait to see if others are experiencing the problem first. To find out its a mass issue or just related to my device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
I placed an order for an RMA unit Thursday night after calling Google and having the RMA link emailed to me. I received an email the following morning with a notice that the replacement phone had shipped and a tracking number was provided. The UPS tracking page just displayed a yellow box that says "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

I just checked again and the yellow box with the above message is still there. I'm thinking that the tracking number should have updated information by Friday. Ideally, I'd like to have the new phone by then but at this rate I'll just be happy to have it by this time next week.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntt1409:
I ordered the replacement and received it 5 days later. Unluckily, I got a defected replacement and I have to called CSR again. Ordered 2nd replacement on Dec 2 and still waiting for taking number.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmejiaa:
What email did you guys first get? The RMA email?

I placed one today and have only gotten an RMA email, nothing about a new phone being shipped...

They state it will be here 3-5 days, I leave the country saturday so I may be out of luck..

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

What shipping method did they use? Can you tell based on the tracking number
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] np231:
Ordered a replacement on Nov 28, 2012 4:20:48 PM PST

Received the RMA email.

Order confirmation email said Estimated Ship:Less than one week

No shippnig/tracking number email yet :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Unfortunately, I'm already expecting the RMA unit to be defective as well. The more I read the more it appears these phones all seem to have at least 1 thing wrong with them.

Yeah, I'd be amazed if you receive the phone by Friday. I ordered my RMA unit last Thursday and don't even expect to receive it till next week.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmejiaa:
Oh well, I may have to keep both and sell the extra when I get back then.

I'm sure the speaker noise will be there in the replacement...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
So where do they pull these replacement orders from? Do they have a stash of Nexus 4's solely just for replacements separate from the regular orders?

And what's the guarantee the replacement unit won't be of the same "batch" and have the same issues?

Just curious because my earpiece is buzzing and I'm not sure if I should bother exchanging or not... You also lose out on the screen protector and have to get a new one.

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

If you decide to keep both, will they add shipping and tax to the AUTH charge? Because if not, isn't this a sneaky way of getting a 2nd Nexus 4 for cheaper? Or likewise, a Nexus 4 way earlier than folks ordering normally?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theremix:
Got mine in 5 days after ordering a replacement
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobdeagle:
Called on the 28th got confirmation on same day with all the links got shipping notification on the 30th, received it Tuesday the 4th :D very positive expirence.

also i sent a support thingy via the website didn't hear anything for 24hours so i just called and got everything instantly. so yeah if you need to RMA and want it fast just call and do it on the phone with the rep
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zealtor:
called the night of 29th for RMA, got confirmation e-mail right away, but nothing since then....called google on 3rd and 4th dec, apparently it's still being processed...go figure. Not too happy right now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] np231:
We are in the same boat.

Ordered the night of 28th, got RMA and order confirmation email. No shipping email yet. I would like to receive the replacement asap since I have to return the device in 21 days. On the other hand, there is a chance that the replacement might be from a newer batch so I don't mind waiting.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Yes, they have a seperate stock for RMA's only. Which explains why they can be sent out right away.

There is no gaurantee that these replacements didn't come from the same batch at the defective units. In fact, more than likely they are the same batch. I remember when I RMA'd my Galaxy Nexus last year the rep told me that the RMA units are hand inspected to ensure there are no defects, which I believed at the time. But after all this N4 shipping craziness and lies I don't believe a word any of those people tell me.

As far as I'm aware they will only charge the "auth" amount in full if you fail to return the device. So for me the $349 charge will hit my card and I COULD turn around and sell the other phone if I wanted. However, I'm just going to send it back.

Yeah, this makes me nervous as well. I ordered on the 29th and received my tracking number on the 30th. However, the tracking status is still just the yellow box saying a shipping label has been created as of 12/5. I'm afraid that I won't get the phone until I have like 1 day to return the defective unit within the 21 day period.

Time will tell I suppose.

Another person on the same boat. Called on the 28th forgot to click the link to reordered till the 1st. Still haven't receive any tracking info.

Ordered replacement on 28th and got a shipping notice just after midnight of the 30th. No movement on the tracking number even though I got a useless My Choice notification that it was going to be delivered yesterday. Nothing arrived :( . Awaiting a reply from my CSR.

Here's my complete experience with my first RMA...

I called them a few days after i received my N4 (i was a first batch buyer) and noticed on the back i had a crack and scratches, despite still having the back film on there, so i took the film off thinking that was scratched but it wasn't, it was the phone out of the box so i called Google on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, they couldn't match my imei so they sent it to a "higher up" and then i called again Monday because i had heard nothing and the CSR said the RMA was ready and i started the process on Monday afternoon! I got a shipping confirmation the next day at about 6 pm Tuesday, i clicked the tracking number and to my surprise, my phone was already in my state ready for delivery! I received the phone at about 7 pm Wednesday! Now my replacement had no scratches or anything, however, it had the fu**in deafening screeching sound when in a call so i called again this past Sunday and got another RMA set up...but this time i haven't gotten a shipping email yet, just a "ship within a week" notice! I don't mind it since i already have the device, but here's hoping it doesn't have the sound! If it does, ill milk the RMA until i get a device without that sound! Its unbearable! Anyways, that's my story!

OT

Hey Guys, This is gonna be a bit off topic, but don't take it wrong.. i am thinking about ordering this phone from germany (my friend does live here so he will order it then he will send it to me to slovakia),, but as i see this,, it's really not worth of it as i see dozens of problems with this phone,

So my question, IS it worth to get this phone with that so many problems?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
11/29 - RMA order placed

11/30 - Confirmation email with UPS tracking number received. Email says that the phone will be delivered within 3-5 business days

11/30 - UPS Tracking page says, "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

12/5 - UPS tracking page still says the above with no additional tracking info

Today is the 4th business day since receiving the email with the tracking number so I figure that there should definitely be at least an origin scan on the UPS tracking page by now. Since there does not appear to be an update to the tracking progress I decided to make some calls and see if anyone could shed light on where my RMA unit is. I called UPS first. They told me that the label has been printed but the seller (Google) still hasn't given them the phone to ship out. This was precisely what I figured the case was because Google has just been so fantastic about shipping these N4's out. :rolleyes:

Then I decided to call Google for some sort of an explanation (optimistic, I know). I talked to a CSR who gave me the same BS others have been getting who also have the tracking number with no tracking updates. He said this situation is "very strange and rare" then said he would forwarded my issue to a "shipping specialist" (yeah right) and told me he would email me back within the next 2 days (again, yeah right).

So here I am with absolutely no idea where my replacement phone is. I suppose I could be worse off though since I already have an N4 in my possession. But now I just want one that isn't defective out of the box. :(

DONT hijack threads.

There are plenty of other threads on this topic, or start your own.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragnarok_:
i placed an RMA order 1 day after you and still no shipping e-mail AT ALL. only the initial confirmation from google. I'm assuming they are truly out of stock, this may be a good thing for us... Higher chance that our replacements will not have any defects!

It kind of works out because I can test how this phone scratches and scuffs, then try to avoid it on the new phone (whenever it comes)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
:laugh: I actually have the same train of thought. I'd rather wait and get part of a new batch with no issues. Plus, like you, I've decided to use this N4 as a "test" phone for scratches and scuffs as well. I am not babying it like I initially planned to and I'm happy with how it's holding up. It's still flawless.

However, the real issue that I'm worried about is getting the defective phone back to Google within 21 days of receiving the first email. But I'm sure if it takes a long time to ship the new phone to me then they will have no choice but to make an exception on that 21 day return rule since it will be their fault that the defective unit didn't get to them within the 21 day window.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrayson:
I'm in the same boat as others on this thread. I ordered a replacement 16gb on Nov. 30. I've only received a confirmation, no shipping email yet. 5 business days will be tomorrow.

I like my phone, I just don't care for the "banshee screaming" sounds it makes when I'm on a call.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sporez:
It's strange why some of you guys are waiting so long for the device to even ship out. For what it's worth, I set up an RMA with a rep yesterday, ordered the replacement phone yesterday, and received shipping notice today. According to UPS it's been received and is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Well that's some bull****. But from what I've been seeing from Google with this whole release, I'm not surprised. I'm just hoping that my replacement magically shows up tomorrow without the tracking info being updated like my first N4 did.

What was you guys reason for RMA. Mine was LCD bleeding on the right upper side. It was not bad but noticeable when I turn on off the phone or watching movie with black background. I just put my RMA.

Well put it this way, at least we have nexus 4 while we wait AND we don't have to be as careful (other than cracks) with the back and the scratches! I've stopped using my pouch and I'm testing just how easily/uneasily it is to scratch the back or fronts of the phone

Do you get these replacement brand new with box and all just like the original you bought or do they just send you a brown box with the phone? Reason I'm asking is because my charger is not working good,its charging as USB and would like to get a new charger without having to call and ask for one since I already ordered a replacement.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt.61:
When I asked the rep, they said it comes shipped brand new in the box as if you had bought it from the play store. So, they said to send back the phone and charger in the original box you got it and ship it back with the RMA slip.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
I was told the same thing.

Also, up until 10pm last night I had the yellow box saying a shipping label had been created. I just got into work and decided to check the tracking page one more time before the weekend. much to my surprise it's scheduled for delivery. :eek:

They even orvernighted it...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inseconds99:
Quick question, when you RMA the device do you have to ship them the one you have right away or when the new one comes in. If its only a minor issue I don't want to be without a phone any longer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] np231:
You have 21 days from the replacement order date to ship the defective phone back. So you can just wait until the new phone comes and then ship the defective unit back. Make sure that the defective phone gets to them within the 21 days.

If the replacement phone takes too long to get to you then I'm sure they will understand if it takes longer than 21 days.

I have an RMA for a messed up earpiece speaker and got the order processed last night with no shipping information via email or on Wallet yet. I will follow up when I get any more information from Google.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Ok, my RMA was just delivered. I can confirm that it is a brand new fully packaged N4 with all accessories.

Exterior wise it is flawless. Doesn't have the bulge in the backing like my other one did and no chips in the silver bezel like my other one did either.

Now time to test the screen/ear piece... :fingers-crossed:

UPDATE: Screen is 100% and there is no buzzing in the earpiece during calls. I also noticed instantly that the screen on this one is much less washed out when looking at it from the side. I'm a happy camper!!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UCFJake:
After being a Limbo Level 3 for three weeks I didn't doubt this would also take some time. Even though the CSR assured me they had special RMA stock for this reason so it should not take the 6-7 weeks per the Play Store for new orders. I just am hoping the phone is shipped in the 21 day timeframe so I don't have to put my Sim back in my GNex to send this unit back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragnarok_:
After I called them today, the CSR noted that the 21 days starts after you receive your new replacement. So there should be no worries holding onto your current 'defect' Nexus 4, until you receive your new one.

I was also 'moved to a specialist' but it can't mean much.. Just hope my next one is flawless!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoCoGirl886:
Hm.. Well I don't know if I'm considered as someone who needs a replacement phone.

I ordered two 16gb phones but they were both 8gb when I opened my package. I called up csr who told me she will forward my info and someone will email me with further instructions. It's been 2 days. Should I give it a couple more days or try calling again? I think I read somewhere about a 15day return policy?

Also she mentioned I would need to mail them back before they send me my replacements. I'm hoping maybe I can continue using the 8gb one until i get my replacement...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duraeas:
I ordered my replacement last Wednesday (the 5th) - if it ships today the earliest I can get it is the 17th. leaving it to arrive in Google's hands past the 21 day point.

I'm not really too concerned. I've paid them $400 and have no intention of shipping back this unit until I have another in my hands. If they want to charge me for 2 that's alright - the defect is minor, and I'll happily sell the extra at a gain.
