[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeekWilliam:
I am helping my friend pick out a phone. He is on Boost Mobile. I have narrowed the phones down to the HTC Evo Design 4g or the ZTE Warp Sequent. I've been trying to search to see what all support there is for these devices as far as custom roms. I was hoping someone would know which phone would be better to get based on the support of these devices from the community. I have a Galaxy S2 and so easy to just come on here and look at the sub forum for it, but these phones do not have a sub forum on here. All help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeekWilliam:
Nexus? That isn't one of the two devices I listed, and as far as I am aware the Nexus phones aren't compatible with Boost.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstinger9489:
I have ﻿the Warp Sequent. Out of box, its running 4.0.4 and runs fairly quickly. I haven't had any luck finding any custom rooms that actually work for it though. I'm pretty sure that ﻿the Evo design has some Custom Roms, but don't quote me on that.

*edit: Now running SuperRom. Sooo sweet. I've had no problems at all with this phone now that I have this rom.

You probably had a mute setting that hung itself, rebooting the device likely cleared that. The good thing is that you have it back in pristine condition.

Nope. I did factory reset again and its working. I think some app is causing it.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulbous:
In that case, be careful what you install. Re-Install your stuff from play store in batches and then leave it a couple of days. If it doesn't mute then put the next batch. PITA but may help you to identify which one it is.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
next time it happens why dont you go into apps and force close each one and clear data one at a time to see if the sound comes back, you may find out which one it is this way. I'd also mute / unmute inbetween each app closure. - logical process of elimination is the way forward.

[General Questions and Answers] BungaDunga:
So, due to stupidity I bricked my Next3 Nextbook without a backup.

Whoops.

I can't find an original update.img for the thing anywhere. Do I need one? Can I flash a hacked update like one from here onto it? Can I flash an update using Linux? My nextbook is in USB mode and it can be seen by rkflashtool (which is what I used to brick it...)

It looks like hvdwolf/surfer63 wrote some guides but they're down (example). I tried using rkflashtool to manually copy over the various sub-imgs out of a hacked update.img into the places specified in the parameter file (and flashing the parameter file) but that didn't work (not surprised...). What am I missing?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdajunior:
Hi Android Gurus,

I am new to android and rooting. I tried to follow the steps available in the xda forums to root my kindle fire HD 7". But instead of just executing the scripts, I chose to read the scripts and manually execute them comand by comand so I could learn. In the process I did what seems to be like a terrible mistake by setting the wrong permissions on /system/xbin/su like below instead of 06755

-rwxr-xr-x root root 380532 2013-01-03 00:24 su

Basically I cannot su anymore, hence I cannot mount the /system rw to modify su's permissions (sounds like a chicken-and-egg situation here).

I badly need help and appereciate if some of you can provide a way.

Thanks.

So you can not perform:

adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

What happens when you attempt to run these commands? If not, your real option is to go to our thread

noted below and use Root MANY ANDROID! to fix it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdajunior:

I get this. The problem is that I now have a read-only /system so I couldn't change owner/permissions.

Unable to chmod /system/xbin/su: Read-only file system

I also tried to copy su binary again to /data/local/tmp again to see if I can recreate su ownership/permission but I'm unable to do that as well

shell@android:/data/local/tmp $ pwd

/data/local/tmp

shell@android:/data/local/tmp $ ls -l

-rwxr-xr-x shell shell 1085140 2012-08-09 13:42 busybox

Will redoing "Root MANY ANDROID!" solve this problem?

xdajunior,

Yes, both Root MANY ANDROID! and Qemu will solve your issues. Then you can take a peek

inside the batch files to see how they get the job done. Since you are in a pickle, you

really need these utilities. Be sure you download these utilities from our site, there are

minor bugs in the original versions. If you have any questions, let me know, I love to

teach people and would be willing to offer you some free phone support. This time

would be spent teaching you some of the aspects of the Kindle and Android. I

will be around all day tomorrow, from 11am to 10pm PST GMT -8. Sorry for the

delayed repose I was on an emergency call most of the afternoon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] haynesr07:
So I purchased a new micro SD card Sandisk 32gb Class 10. It shows up in my phone, but will not let me backup to it as my old 8gb did....

Anyone know how I fix this issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Try formatting it to FAT32
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] haynesr07:
I did exFAT and FAT32. Did not work. Works fine when in the OS. Will I have to re-root with the SD card in it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No i dont think thats the problem...its weird because I have the exact same kind (32gig sandisk class 10) and mine works perfect

Do you have another phone to test it on possibly? It might just.be a problem with your S3

And give TWRP a go too, maybe somethings just messed up with the recovery partition
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] haynesr07:
Ok I got it to work in recovery now. But now when I try a NANdroid it says no sd-ext found, skipping back up, what does that mean now?

edit: well i checked the file paths and it seems like it's on the new one, but didnt make the separate one on internal...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
All its saying is that your sdcard isnt partitioned (split into different sections, which some people do to installl apps on the sdcard), so that "error" isnt really an error

And...i dont understand what you mean by "didnt make the separate one on internal"...

I currently have a Droid Inc2 rooted unlocked OC running CM10. Is it worth picking up this phone? Much better than what I have? What's the best ROM out for Rezound? Battery life? Thanx!
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
yes, definitely. check out the jb bulds that have recently come out
[HTC Rezound] im_high_tech:
Performance wise: just pure amazing.

Development: Excellent! New Roms and updates almost daily.

Battery wise: Crap. Unless you buy an extended battery, your looking at up to 1:30 hours of screen on time. Compared to other phones that have 3 hours.
[HTC Rezound] d08speed3:
Damn I get 6+ hours of screen on time with my Inc2
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
ymmv with the battery life. i've seen plenty of people with really good battery life reports on aosp (cm9 or cm10). getting anywhere from 3-4 hours screen on with the standard battery. obviously not the 6 hours your getting on your inc, but its to be expected with a better screen and a bigger screen.
[HTC Rezound] d08speed3:
Hmmm good to know :) still debating about buying one for $200 off a friend.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
I just purchased two off ebay one with an extended battery for 150 each... thats cheaper than your friend :p... I bought them for my parents so we could keep unlimited.
[HTC Rezound] d08speed3:
Hmmmm :) what's the best ROM out you think? And what's average battery life?
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
i think that's pretty subjective. but development on this phone is great. sense 3.6, sense 4, cm9, cm10 roms all available. and battery life will obviously depend on usage. jsut start looking through the rom threads to get a better sense of things.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
I'm running mean horsey face job ROM I'm at 90% battery with 1 hour 10 min screen on time. I was playing bejeweled for a while. The new jb ROMs seem to be pretty amazing on battery life. I do run an extended battery though.

[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Great devoloping phone

I'd have to say if you are used to geting your hands dirty this is a great phone to mess around with. Certain things are tricky to learn like the S-Off trick. The batery life and speed on this phone is great. I've used almost every rom for this and the 2 roms that ive met that meet my requirements for now are Viper Rez 1.0.3 and jelybean ┬─┬ ノ( ^_^ノ) rom. I prefer to use the Amon Ra Recovery and nandroid backup and restore is my bestfriend when switching my roms out. The best thing i've learned though is how to use the kitchen and theming for any device ive owned.
[HTC Rezound] d08speed3:
I'm pretty familiar with the Kitchen but what so do I need to upload? For CM7 I just pulled the apk theme and uses that. CM10 you need framework Res? What else
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
Don't be fooled by the optimism of these guys. There is currently no AOSP variant that is fully functional. CM9 is closer than 10, but there are still things that don't fully work. If you want everything to work as it should, you will need a Sense 3.6 rom and battery life will not be very good. The awesome screen on this phone drains a battery very quickly. We do have some great devs working on both Sense and AOSP, but they can't really make the screen more efficient.
[HTC Rezound] bik2101:
well, what exactly, outside of bluetooth calling isn't fully functioning on aosp? afaik, nothing. and even on sense 3.6 roms, there are plenty of very optimized roms with some awesome kernels that can actually give you pretty good battery life.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
You just made my point. If everything doesn't work, then it is not fully functional. As for battery life, it will always be personal opinion as to what is "good", but I don't consider 2-2.5 hours screen on time to be good (and that is what I have seen reported more often than not).

Don't get me wrong, I do think the Rez is a good phone, but it isn't great, and I probably wouldn't spend $200 to get one right now. I was lucky enough to get mine for $50 back when they had it on special and still kept my unlimited.
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
Well I avg 2.5 hrs screen time stock battery on 4g on and sync and data for everything and over 4 on the OEM extended. Doesn't matter if I run aosp or sense or jb.

To the op, I very much enjoy my rezound and after having many phones on Verizon the rezound is still a fantastic device. However I would strongly suggest soff, amon ra, and multiple stock batteries with a wall/dock for them if you want to keep it slim. Camera is top notch. I run a sense 4 Rom currently and couldn't be happier. It's development is growing due to committed devs. I get battery battery life on my stock rezound battery and sense 4 or aosp that any Rom I had on my vzw nexus. Consistently. The screen is beautiful. Signal is always strong. Soff wil allow you to test many many combinations until you find something you like.
[HTC Rezound] DCnovicky:
+1
[HTC Rezound] xadrx:
+2
[HTC Rezound] d08speed3:
Damn 2.5 screen time with stock battery is kinda horrible. =\ I get 4.5 on my Inc2 OC @1.4 I know MT phone is slower but it's still pretty fast for what it is. Don't wanna carry around a brick.
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
It better than a Verizon nexus haha.
[HTC Rezound] SeanRobinson1:
Battery is the only downfall.... And HTC being the worst company for Android updates! The screen is beautiful though!
[HTC Rezound] afmracer6:
I miss my rezound sometimes.. Battery was not awesome.
[HTC Rezound] SeanRobinson1:
I just flashed a Jelly Bean rom. Everything seems to run awesome! I miss the HTC widgets though. I think Jelly Bean is giving me a better battery life compared to the stock rom.

I miss my inc2 sometimes. I could never go back to that screen resolution though. I sure miss battery life and light weight though. It really was a nice phone
[HTC One X] awesomelyawesome:
So this is how you install icecoldjelly 4.2.1.. and i dont understand number 4!!!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME INSTALL THIS ROM::(

Step 1 - Download Android 4.2.1 IceColdJelly ROM for HTC One X on your computer and extract boot.img from the zip file separately. Download Google Apps package as well.

Step 2 - Connect and mount your HTC One X USB mass storage on your computer with original USB cable.

Step 3 - Copy the AOKP IceColdJelly ROM and Google Apps zip files to the root folder on your phone's SD card.

Step 4 - Copy and paste the boot.img file to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory.

Step 5 - Power off your phone and boot into the bootloader/fastboot mode. To do so, switch on the phone by pressing and holding Volume Down and Power buttons together.

Step 7 - Once the device enters Fastboot mode, navigate to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory (on your computer) and launch Command Prompt (press Shift and Right-click > Open Command Prompt).

Step 8 - Type the following command and hit Enter.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Step 9 - Type the following command and press Enter.

fastboot reboot

Step 10 - Follow the navigational instructions onscreen and select Bootloader, and then enter Recovery mode.

Step 11 - In CWM recovery, wipe data first. Then navigate to Flash zip from SD card option and hit the Power button to select it.

Step 12 - Tap the Power button again and click Choose zip from sdcard.

Step 13 - Use volume keys to navigate to Android 4.2.1 ROM zip file and select it by tapping Power button. Confirm the ROM installation on next screen and the installation will begin.

Step 14 - Once the ROM is installed, hit Go Back and reboot the phone by tapping Reboot System Now in the recovery menu. The phone will automatically reboot and the first boot may take about 5 minutes to complete. So, leave it alone.

Android 4.2.1 AOKP IceColdJelly custom ROM is now installed and running on your HTC One X. Go to Settings > About phone to verify the firmware version installed.
[HTC One X] Dan_99:
You need to take the extracted boot.img file from the IceColdJelly ROM zip and put it in the same directory that your adb and fastboot files are so that you can flash the boot.img via fastboot.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
If you don't understand you shouldn't be flashing anything! Read the guides fully and make sure you understand them before you risk damage to your phone
[HTC One X] hairy9802:
if u still dunno how to install this rom, i will explain it to u~~

make a folder fastboot at your c drive

then copy all files in there

make sure u copy boot.img from the rom to the folder

launch command prompt and type cd c:\fastboot

then continue install like the step given

press thanks if i help :)

Hey XDA,

I had an Xperia PLAY R800x running stock rooted 2.3.3 with a version of DooMLord's DooMKernel that is 1.6 Ghz. The device was acting buggy so I used Flashtool and flashed it back to 2.3.3. I rooted the device and ran my usual bloatware removal. I couldn't locate the same thread I got the kernel from so I went to DooMLords page and found the v2 kernels for the CDMA variant. When I try to flash the kernel all goes well but when I try to boot the device it just sits at a black screen.

IS your bootloader unlocked? If not you cant use the kernel anyways. Note the link you posted is a valid CDMA kernel, My only suggestion for you is to use flashtool and use R800x uncheck everything except kernel. Flashtool will reflash the stock kernel onto your device that has doomkernel in it.
