I guess I must have not known that I needed to press the power button, the guides for rooting all assume a lot of knowledge that the new user needs, but does not have. Is there a guide that hand holds you through the whole process. I will try again when I have access to the phone this evening. If I do need to install the drivers, is there a guide I can refer to please?
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
For the drivers download and install htc sync. Then uninstall htc sync, if you wish. That's all. But since it shows HBOOT usb plug, I think the drivers are already installed.
[HTC Wildfire S] pompeyrodney:
Thanks

Hi Tyr Fifteen

I seem to go from one issue to another, on a positive note you were right about the drivers as the phone was waiting to be in fastboot, when I hit the power button it went ahead and pushed the recovery image to the phone, at last! Now I show recovery version 5.0.2.8 and when I select "install zip from sdcard" I just see the CWM bowler hat and nothing happens? In fact CWM recovery does not respond if I select any of the options in the menu. I have to take out the battery before I can restart as normal. Any ideas please? Please see enclosed pictures showing menu and result of selection of any item:(
[HTC Wildfire S] 4ndaKava:
Maybe you should try it again :) I used this utilitie to root my phone a long time ago. It worked great.

Thanks 4ndKava

I came across this tool before but as there was no info on how to use it, i did not bother. How is the phone connected and what are the prerequisites etc. Do I connect to the phone by usb and then put the phone in fast boot usb and run the batch file in the tool?
[HTC Wildfire S] 4ndaKava:
Connect your phone with your computer, activate usb-debugging in your setting and than start the "one click.bat". :) I hope, i could help. :)

Hi

I have just managed to download the correct Recovery image as suggested and it appears to have installed correctly.

c:\WFS>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4494 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.700s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.200s]
finished. total time: 3.900s

I have then removed the battery for a couple of minutes, restarted while holding down the volume minus.

I get the white screen showing hboot at the top highlighted in blue and fastboot highlighted in blue further down.

The sd card is then checked? and I can then select recovery and press the power button.

I then wait for the recovery options but all I am seeing is a white screen saying HTC followed by a black screen with all the four screen button lights on?

There is no mention of any recovery options at all.

Has something gone horribly wrong?
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:
When did you buy the phone? I guess its 2012... Because that model is nasty. You need to flash a modified recovery for it. Search a topic in general section I think. You can't flash cm ROMs. only stock based ROMs, sadly. However, there are few 2012 lucky guys who can. Try that recovery and try installing cm9 or 10. If it works, good for you, and if it doesn't, oh well.

Good luck.
[HTC Wildfire S] 4ndaKava:
I am one of the lucky ones, had no problems .. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Lt.Win:

I guess the permission denied is because the sd card already has root.zip on it?

Can you tell me what the boot.img file is?

I guess my phone is not getting to recovery as I do not see any of the options for choosing the root.zip file at all.

Indeed, my dream is to one day have the ability to dual boot Android and a native Linux distro.
[Nexus 10 General] rich0:
It isn't clear to me that the Ubuntu phone will actually be a "linux distro" - at least not in the sense that most think of them (Android runs Linux, after all). But, details seem to be scarce.

Plus, applications built for a mouse aren't going to be ideal even on a tablet. Otherwise we wouldn't have all those apps for services that are already web-based (including, ironically enough, xda).
[Nexus 10 General] brGabriel:
Yes, I agree the new Ubuntu for mobile devices won't exactly be like its desktop predecessors. I was referring to what I've seen on other tablet development forums, such as the Asus TF300T running an Arch Linux ARM natively as a dual boot with Android. Would it be "ideal" on a touch screen tablet? Certainly not; but it wouldn't be completely unusable. Besides, I think that's why many of us are on xda in the first place. Because we're not content with running vanilla stock ROMs with our hands held out to to the manufacturers for fixes and upgrades.
[Nexus 10 General] TheBlueRaja:
Like the sound of this but only as a dual boot option for now.
[Nexus 10 General] OldGaf:
I RDP .....*A LOT*...... from my N10 to my various Linux boxes now.... this would be a very welcome thing for me.

And.... to have another player in the mobile game would only be a good thing for us all.

Also, as the native apps are mosly C or C++, it would be interesting to see how much faster they would run.

sup guys, okay i know there a thread for this already but it seemed to died out..

i recently rooted my nexus with codename android 3.8.0 (4.1.2)

toro.

and i cant use my camera " unfortunately, gallery has stopped" pops up..

okay well i downloaded the 4.2camera.zip file went in to recovery deleted cache and dvcache , uploaded the zip, i tried setting the premissions to rw-r-r i believe thats

what its suppose to be set at. and i rebooted and still nothing.

I also deleted the gallery2.apk file. because they say that it could conflict.

the only thing i dont get how to do is to move the lib. files? ...

help me out please ! i miss my camera !

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doomhamma:
As from what I've understood - you never pushed that camera into system ... I really don't have much time now, so I can't explain how to do it properly ... Search a bit over the web / xda and you'll find how to do that ... You rename your current gallery / camera set then via adb push the other one ... Just try it out! I for instance have 2 cameras and 2 gallerys ... CM camera/gallery and 4.2 camera/gallery ...

Windows has nothing to do with linux (it might have some code taken from it but compared to the whole...) iOS it isnt linux it might be based on it but it isnt. Android??? well it uses the kernel of linux but it isnt linux.

UBUNTU I LOVE IT I WANT IT NOWWW although i dont own Galaxy note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Therev86:
Canonical have announced images for the Galaxy Nexus will be available within the next couple of weeks, it already uses Android kernels so while i don't think this will be picked up by the majority of smartphone users, i think it could well develop a decent following in the dev community, and the Note and Note 2 would lend themselves brilliantly to it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DesignGrits:
If this got ported over I would defiantly flash. Love the Status bar, how you can slide between date/time/wifi/etc and if you drag down it opens the settings for that feature. Thats awesome. The only thing that I am still curious about is navigation, market, and level of customization on the home screen. Seems like its designed to allow customization but on a page by page level with hubs on each page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nivek_k2020:
I seriously doubt Ubuntu will officially support the note1 in 2014, best bet is a port by an xda member.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
iOS is not based on Linux at all. iOS is based on BSD-based Darwin BSD. Linux is a kernel, nothing more, nothing less. Linux + GNU tools makes an OS.

Now the big difference between android and the proposed Ubuntu phone. They will use the same kernel, but android runs on top of that in a VM whereas Ubuntu will run natively.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kornklown69:
I am hoping at some point android goes 100% native... i think google should just buy out ubuntu and help build upon chrome and android

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jay794:
OK well my understanding was that pretty much all OS's came from Linux and developed on top of a Linux base. Since OSX and android use the exact same file system as Ubuntu or Linux or Debian or whatever you want to call it Windows is just developed further to make it more user friendly, because the the normal everyday user wouldn't have a clue how to use Ubuntu if you installed it on a desktop
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Not at all. Unix was developed by ATT Bell labs. Dos from Microsoft. Windows from Microsoft with a lot of "inspiration" from Xerox.

Then, ATT licensed Unix to UC Berkeley. UCB then developed there own Unix called BSD or Berkeley Software Distribution. There was a lawsuit alleging that BSD infringed upon the Unix license but UCB was aquitted and released BSD under the BSD license.

Later, Linus Torvalds began playing with and hacking an educational kernel called MINIX. After a few years there was no MINIX left, and Linus released Linux. Linux, Unix/BSD, and Windows are all separate.

Apple started a community project shortly before OS X called Darwin BSD. The community developed it, apple used it for OS X, and essentially made it closed source which is allowed by the BSD license.

Back to Linux, Linux is not an operating system. Linux is a kernel. When combined with gnu tools, you have an operating system. There are many distributions of Linux that differ in the add-ons included, package management, installation and philosophies.

Oh, and when you get into comany sale and the lawsuits, it gets even hairier.

I'm glad you took the time to post this man. Most people these days talk about of the side of their necks base off of portions they read from blogs and other media. All the while, these same people truly believe they know what they are talking about and do not even stop to think that MAYBE they are making a fool of them self. Thank you for schooling some of the people in this thread and others that have not bothered to post. I'm sick of people posting "facts" just as they would discard a gum wrapper, without thinking before fingers meet keyboard. Sad thing is that one of "those people" are going to take what you have posted here and try to pass it off as their own "knowledge" down the road on this or another forum somewhere without even educating them self further on the subject.

The easy version of the software debate is that windows is windows. Unix is UNIX. Most other operating systems are pulling large parts of Unix and building from there. Consider Linux a Unix mod.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Right, except that Linux is not Unix nor is it a derivative of Unix. Linux is unix-like. BSD is a Unix. So to reiterate

Windows is windows

Linux is linux

Unix is Unix

BSD is Unix

And OSX is bastardized BSD with a thick skin.

Since your s-off its simple. Use the file here which will update your radio and firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2045935 under firmware that says no kernel, no hboot, no recovery. This is not flashed in recovery but in bootlader. There is a link in the post if you are unsure how/what that means. After that download your rom of choice and flash away.

Go to the thread in the link below. Download the firmware in the first link under 'Firmware Downloads'. Put the file on your external SD card and rename the file PJ75IMG.zip. Reboot to your bootloader, then select 'Bootloader', at which time the bootloader should scan for the PJ75IMG.zip and ask if you want to update. Select yes and wait for the update to complete. This will get you the newest PRI and radio. Then you can go flash MeanBean:D

My experience with CM10.0 on the Rogers HTC One X has not been very good! My first impression of the ROM was like WOW this is as buttery-smooth as advertised! I loved everything about it. But after 2 days of use I noticed the following:

1. My battery drains way faster than before

2. Google Navigation works for a minute than my 4G drops completely and naturally, navigation stops working as well.

3. My contact names stopped showing up on SMS. All my contacts were just represented by their phone numbers.

With all these horrible bugs, I had to go back to CleanROM. Which is really sad cuz I love Jellybean :(

What's your experience been like?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gridlock489:
I have been using CM10 exclusively for about 3 months now so it's stable and has great battery life (easily 20 hours of normal usage for me). There are bugs but I have learned to either fix them on my own or live with them. It's way better than using Sense in my opinion. CM10.1 is my current ROM and I'm loving how responsive it is, so great things are coming!

Development for both CM10 and CM10.1 were halted basically all through December, and now that the devs are working with Android 4.2 I doubt there will be any groundbreaking improvements to CM10. h8rift is working hard on getting CM10.1 to a daily-driver state, though, so hopefully it won't be too long!

My experience with cm10 is not good. Battery drains to fast ...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zerogun:
I'm able to get about 12-14 hours on CM10 pretty easily. For the guys who have sucky battery life, here is something to try. Once you install everything and give the ROM a couple of hours to settle, go into recover and do a backup, then wipe everything and then do a restore from the backup you just made. It's pretty much the equivalent of defragging your computer hard drive.

Every few weeks when my phone gets laggy or I feel like battery is draining I do this, and it picks right back up. This was recommended by Turge (HTC ONE X Venom Developer) and it works really well for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pside15:
You haven't used an AOSP ROM that uses the 4.2 camera have you? It's not quite as good as the Sense camera but it's dang close. You can flash the 4.2 camera on Cm10. The thread is in the themes and apps section.

I've never actually used CM10 bit I've used tons of AOSP ROMs that are pretty much all based on CM10 and have none of the issues from the OP. I get great battery life, my gps works perfectly, and all my contacts show up perfectly as well. Maybe give another ROM a try. I use JellyBam with Rohan's kernel and it's just about perfect.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tucanj:
I've found battery life to be reasonable, especially on wifi. Make sure to turn location settings such as background reporting off. These drain battery life tremendously. Also I have found the sense camera to be far better.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 0erzer0:
I have had similar problems:

- since the sept 13th nightly mms photo previews is broken.

- camera in panorama mode crashes the whole os sometimes

- battery life could be better

- I've noticed bugs when trying to search contacts in the phone app via dial pad (hanging until I restart the phone app )

That's all I can recall. Overall cm is very nice though and I love the speed and having google now. These are bugs I've noticed in the stable version.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] the_scotsman:
Battery drain is awful on all non-Sense based ROMs. You need to disable almost every useful service on the phone to get a long full day out of it. THis is one of the reasons I went back to running Viper (de-Sensed) with Nova. Battery is MUCH better :good:
