[HTC EVO 3D] qw3rty333:
I have a rooted Virgin Mobile Evo 3D. It wants to do a OTA update is it safe to let it do the update if I run OTA RootKeeper first?

Its still s-on, its just the stock ROM rooted.

The current about phone info is:

Android version: 4.03

HTC Sense version: 3.6

Software number: 1.13.652.2 170RD

The update it wants to do is 14.65 MB.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
NEVER take an OTA when you are rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
It won't install anyway. You need the stock recovery to install an OTA unless you pick it apart and install it in pieces (firmware, software), and that only works if you are S-OFF since those files won't be signed by HTC.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jomplox:
I bought an Xperia Ray for my son recently.

Unfortunately the current state of the device yields very little enjoyment since it came with a very old Android version.

I would like to upgrade the device as well as have it rooted, if possible at all.

The years have been rough on me and I've been unable to keep up with technology.

After reading many tutorials, I feel overwhelmed by the many variants that make this a complex task. At least for me.

If any one could spare a little of their time to help me figure out the steps to correctly upgrade my son's Xperia Ray

to a nicer Android version and root the device as well, I would be very grateful.

These are the specifications of the device:

Model number
ST18a

Android Version
2.3.4

Baseband version
8x55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-56

Kenrel version
2.6.32.9-perf
SEMCUser@SEMCHOST#1

Build number

First you can upgrade your phone to Android ICS 4.0.4 via PC Companion

If you want to root, don't upgrade to ICS 4.0.4

Coz it's easier to Root in Gingerbread than ICS...

And Just follow the 2nd link provided in above post... :)

After rooting, upgrade to whichever android version you want... :beer:

Hi guys,

I'm new to all this so bear with me...

Is it possible to flash the radio on the dna to make the LTE capability work for the Rogers network?

I bought one a while ago, and I ended up selling it because LTE didn't work, and so some people are saying that it might be possible, is this true? I really love the phone so I hope so...
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
I'm pretty sure we can't even flash radios without s off

But even if we could, it is a hardware thing, not software. The phones hardware only supports Verizon's LTE bands, no way to change that.

Just download a stock rom, flash it through odin on to your device after if you enter download mod which is by holding volume up+power+home key while the phone is off. Im sure you know this already but I cant think of any other way since recovery mode is out of the question.

Some time ago i found in this forum an app that managed to set the led color theme as the same of an image... it's a bit hard to explain...

for example i got an orange image so the bar turns orange too, but when i exit from the album app the led isn't orange anymore. with that app i could manage to make it orange even out of the album app. anyone remeber what app is it?

Ilumination bar notification app allows you to do that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] effry:
no, illumination bar notification allow to set a theme color that you choose, the app that i'm lookin for allows to set as theme the dominant color of an image, for example the wallpaper of the home screen

i remember another thing: the icon of the app was similar to the stock ics people app (http://aux3.iconpedia.net/uploads/559212118982735182.png), but it was round

Hi there,

I just noticed this strange graphics glitch today when I unlocked my screen as usual. First, the menu and back key's lights didn't turn off after the specified time. Then the two folders on my home screen started appearing at bottom like an ad when I'd swipe across the screen pages. It went away only after I rebooted. I'm on stock 4.1.2 LLB and didn't flash any mod lately. Also, its the first time I have observed this thing since Aug last year when I bought it.

Does anyone know the cause of it?

Hey people,

I put together this slick boot animation based on Google's special logo dedicated to the 25th Anniversary of the Buckyball.

Here are a few facts :

It's not flashable. Install it with a root-enabled file explorer or with a boot animation changer such as this one.

It's 720x1280. Feel free to resize it to fit your phone's resolution. You can use Boot Animation Factory for that.

See preview below - it should give you a pretty good idea of the animation itself.

I hope you will enjoy it!

I have flashed version 1.5 of this rom. I have flashed 12-15 times attempting to get the sdcard used for apps. If I set Rom Toolbox Config Apps2sd to use sdcard it does not work when installing apps. I get there is insufficient space. If I set to auto or internal it works. I have not formatted the card in the tablet. I used 2 different card adapters. I have used Win Explorer to format to NTFS then format the 4096/0 inside CWM. I have tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard and formatting to full NTFS then 4096/0 inside CWM. I then tried creating a Ext3 manually and not in CWM. I then tried a Ext4 partition. Nothing lets me install 1 app if the toolbox is set to Sdcard. The card is 32gb Sandisk class 10 card. It was working fine on Smooth Bean with 1.4.2. I have also using a system partition of 250gb. I have done a lot of flashing and have had few problems I could not attribute to my errors.

No you cant. No way.

I would mostly agree with "No, no way".

For completeness, I would add that if you figured out the JTAG interface,

soldered on a connector and had a JTAG interface you could do anything you want.

The other way would be if you could get fastboot to work.

Just to be clear, these two methods are advanced and have never been investigated.
