Hi,

I have HTC Desire HD mobile, with official HTC RUU ROM, I would like to root this device without losing this official release. Can anyone help Me in this?

As previous I installed other ROM, Revolution 7.1 , but My Camera Result was disturbed which I liked the most in DHD, so I revert it, and now I wanted root access in this Official Release,

as Ace kit is not working for this version, and force me to downgrade it first.

Advance thanks to you guys.

I noticed a couple of things upon restart. Do you guys know what it is and why it happens?

1) when im restarting my phone, i realize a quick message appears before it boots. That says "No memory card. phone photo, image, audio, video, album and moments features disabled" (i have one), is this normal? Some times it say no valid card too (I think its referring to SIM). Is this normal? Why does it do that?

2) Also one time when I rebooted, I noticed the widgets on my homescreen was a loaded weird. The spacing and text was not showing up properly, the size of widget looked compressed (weather and news app). What can cause this?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlucardFrost:
Hi all,

I have a big problem this morning. I've installed the MIUI 2.12.14 rom on my galaxy note 2 and I really loved it but my 3G connection was not working at all. I've been reading on this forum somewhere that it was better to format the Sdcard for a better MIUI experience. Well i did format it but now i don't know how to fresh flash the rom since i can't access my SDcard in clockworkmod recovery on my Macbook Pro.

Can anyone help me with some command line tricks to create folder and copying the roms and backups back to my sdcard?

Fo your records, I have a galaxy note 2, Macbook Pro Mountain lion, phone is rooted, CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.4-jb installed.

Thank you very much in advance/

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsui:
The internal memory card not loading is a hardware problem for sure or having a very slow boot where your system boots before your card is recognized (maybe messed up page/indexing). Never seen something like that. Be careful and back up your data now. If it persists take it to your carrier

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FitchVA:
I posted this on other Android message boards, but I didn't get much of a response, so I'm trying it here. Here's my issue - when I try to use the voice dialing via Bluetooth headset, the phone uses SVoice to try and detect what I want to do and who I want to call. 99% of the time, I'm trying to call my fiance. So far, SVoice has failed to recognize her name 100% of the time. I realize it's a hard name to pick up (it's an Asian name) but Google was able to recognize it 100% of the time when doing the exact same thing on the exact same bluetooth headset 100% of the time correctly.

Is there a way to NOT use SVoice and instead use the built in Google Voice recognition on our Note2's?

[Motorola Droid X2] thirdfloornorth:
Currently running DKZ MX2 Alpha 2 on my C Spire MX2. Honestly, it works much worse than I imagined on my phone, a slew of random problems that make it irritating to the point of unusable, including:

Missed texts/multiple texts show up en masse hours after sending

The force close issues on Facebook and Baconreader

Call issues (will connect, no audio from either end, usually ends with having to pull the battery)

I was going to wait for an Alpha 3 or a Beta, but development seems to have stalled (DKZ has a full time job, no blame there).

I need to downgrade, either to the CM9 MX2 beta or to Paranoid Android for MX2. Paranoid Android, I know, required you to be 2.3.4 and I am currently 2.3.6, and C Spire doesn't have an SBF.

I just need to know what my options are. I know downgrading from DKZ CM10 to DKZ CM9 likely has issues too. Just needs some input :( Any answers I'm going to need a pretty detailed step-by-step, if possible.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I know nothing about the MX2 or C Spire. But I can almost guarantee you that being on 2.3.6 is what is causing all your issues. And the same will probably happen if you use CM9. What SBF files does C Spire have?

P.S. This should have been asked in the Q&A Section.
[Motorola Droid X2] Booga Booga:
Nandroid back to stock then install eclipse/cm7 if it's stability you're worried about. I would say go with CM10 over CM9 but that's just me.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
His problem is his MX2 is on 2.3.6 on C Spire wireless. These ROMs require 2.3.4
[Motorola Droid X2] Booga Booga:
I also have a MX2 :) The problems he/you are encountering shouldn't be because you're on 2.3.6 I know it doesn't help but it's not the root cause.

For Eclipse, it doesn't matter you're on 2.3.6 you can still flash it (even though it says 2.3.5 required).

For CM7/CM9 you must get the patched (usually from lrs or 754boy...if not I can see what I can do for you) that removes the kernal check on the roms and lets you flash it on the mx2. You'll have to install the wifi patch also.

Well maybe you can help this guy out. I'm not the one with the problem. I have a Droid X2 on Verizon so I dont know anything about the issues he is having. Maybe the MX2 is different but the things I have read is that flashing those ROMs when not on the right android version will cause problems.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Just so everyone knows anyone with the MX2 if at any point it has had 2.3.6 on it, either though sbf, update.zips, or came stock, there is no downgrading, ever(unfortunately). When 2.3.6 is applied it burns a fuse on the board to permenatly lock it on 2.3.6, preventing any downgrading. The same concept is aplied to unlocking the bootloader. when the unlock command is issued and it is implemented it burns a fuse permenately unlocking the device even if we flash a locked sbf over it its still unlocked it just wont say that it is.

Hell no. CM10 has WAY too many random app closes....it was annoying as hell. The interface was smooth but that's useless if the apps don't work. I would personally recommend either Eclipse or CM9.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stabadus:
There have been many threads regarding the switch from the Samsung Galaxy S3 to Nexus 4, but are any of you considering the switch from the N4 to SGS3 (or back to SGS3) after using the N4?

I recently upgraded from a SGS2 Skyrocket so the N4 is much faster than what I’m used to. However, I have several friends who have the AT&T variant (i747) with dual core as opposed to quad core with similar “snappyness” in running daily tasks – does quad core really make all that much difference?

Some other gripes I have are:

- Lack of LTE (this was known but I didn’t realize it would be that big of an issue until I actually made the switch.. now I miss LTE),

- Camera is EXTREMELY grainy compared to that of the SGS3,

- Lack of storage space (I purposely ordered the 16gb and have yet to transfer any songs/videos from my old SD card to my N4 yet I already only have 9gb free),

- Although the resolution is definitely more crisp than the SGS3, the colors do seem a bit washed out when compared to AMOLED - AMOLED eyes?,

- My N4 gets noticeably warm after regular use.. far warmer than my Skyrocket got​

So that’s about the end of my rant. Do any of you share the same views?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Quad Core vs Dual Core. Quad is obviously better in the long run especially when Android 5.0 (Key Lime Pie) is out. Not to mention, Galaxy S3 won't have 5.0 right away. Developer support for Nexus devices is a ++++++

LTE: Use the LTE hack. Use search, people have used LTE on their N4 on AT&T.

Camera: use the camera hack in development

Storage space: wont go there.

Resolution: Uh... no? IPS > AMOLED when it comes to reproducing colors. On AMOLED, blacks are better

If you're having buyer's remorse then something must be wrong with you thinking about going to a Galaxy S3. N4 is far more superior in specs especially when it comes to development in ROMs and Kernels. GS3 is outdated as GS4 is right around the corner, Summer time '13 probably.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
The people using LTE on AT&T are few and far between. AT&T has such limited band 4 LTE deployment. As far as I know it only exists in Oklahoma and a few other test areas.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stabadus:
Yes, in the long run when apps become more demanding a quad core phone today is like future-proofing.. however, I don't normally keep phones for longer than 6 months anyway (family plan upgrades conveniently spaced out lol). So I'll likely be getting an SGS4 or whatever anyway. But for now, is quad core not overkill?

LTE only works with AT&T in limited markets.

Which camera hack are you referring to? The only one I know of is the frame rate mod for videos.. a link would be much appreciated :)

Yeah, storage isn't much of a deal anyway.

IPS > AMOLED when it comes to producing more natural colors.. doesn't mean vivid/saturated colors on the AMOLED aren't visually appealing -- it's not just blacks, any color seems to "pop" more. I realize there's a color mod out there as well for the N4 which can adjust gamma to make it more AMOLED-like but that would involve me rooting the Nexus which I feel I shouldn't have to do. SGS3 gives you the option to select "normal" or "natural".

CPU/GPU are definitely much better than the SGS3 but only really needed for intense gaming. It's at the opportunity cost of a better camera, LTE, sd card, etc. Is it still worth it to keep the N4 if you're a dev or are not into modding?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brom25:
To answer your questions, I have to say first that it depends of the individual use.

I don't have LTE in my country so this isn't a issue to me.

Camera is awesome for my use, don't have to complain about it. Sure it can be better but I don't shoot with my phone, I do it with my DSLR.

Free space to me is enough, I have like 130 apps installed and still have two gigs free space.

The resolution is definitely awesome.

I agree with you that it gets really warm. But with UV that's actually fixed.

Another awful thing is the rattling and the current noise sound coming from the earpiece.

In my case, it isn't really noticeable, that's why I'm keeping it. However a friend of mine didn't have that much luck, he had to RMA his phone.

Last thing, I think that you don't buy a Nexus to keep it stock. They are the most hackable phones on the market, so why? :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stabadus:
I don't really see the need to root this device as I would normally do on an Android since it's already so fast and smooth -- I could care less about changing colors of the clock or w/e others use root for. To have to root your device to fix camera or color seems odd. I don't normally take pictures, but when I do; I'd like for them to be nice and not grainy like the ones from my Nexus. Also, I'm in Houston, TX where we have a decent LTE coverage and it just seems like I'm missing out.

What is "UV".. are you referring to under-volting?

I luckily don't have this rattling problem nor do I have any abnormal sounds coming from the earpiece.. I do however have 2 tiny dead pixels which are not that big of a deal but still irritating.

I originally jumped on the Nexus 4 since it was at a great value.. but since I can swap it out for a SGS3 at break even; I don't know if I should keep it :confused:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argenist:
I've compared the S3 and the N4 side by side many times, and honestly I'm not sure who in their right mind would go over to an S3. The N4 is quick and snappy and the way the glass curves slightly at the edges looks so good while the overly beveled/rounded corners of the S3 makes it look like a fisher price toy.

I'm in an LTE area and have experienced LTE speeds both on an S3 and an iPhone 5, yes it is blazing fast and yes it's awesome... but man why am I still on N4.. oh yeah because it's just that good.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
LTE doesn't even matter. Especially when you're on verizon it just drains your battery. HSPA+ for me is more than sufficient. I get speed tests of 12 Mb/s I don't get why people make a big deal of LTE. It's not like you're going to download a Linux distro on your phone. Plus, data caps and LTE? No thanks. I'll stick with my HSPA and T Mobile.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driftmania:
I came over from a T999 and haven't regretted it since. Even though I only have 8gb of storage, it's enough for me as my 7gb music collection is on the cloud, saving me enough space for 1-2 720p blu ray rips. The $30 T-Mobile Monthly plan is perfect, I kind of streamed too many episodes of Netflix at one point but I'm still at 3.7/5gb. The storage was't a big of an issue as I thought it would be since I can just work around it.

The S3 was already pretty fast but the N4 is even faster, the bigger apps open faster, and the new Adreno 320 should be pretty good.

Although I'm not a big fan of both phone's design, the N4 looks better and feels much nicer to me, however they both come up short in the design and quality department, but I was spoiled by Nokia's N9.
