There was indeed an OTA for my phone which updated HBOOT to 1.36. Updated to CM10.1 with no dramas and was much simpler than I anticipated.

Thanks everyone for all the advice!

[HTC One X] aricdb:
Im a noob, but I think you have to go back to the stock sense ROM and then gete the official update to Jelly Bean. After that you will have the 1.39 HBOOT and then you can install CM10.1
[HTC One X] gilly1973:
it wont let me flash back to stock because hboot is different higher :(
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Go here and do the firmware flash... READ freakin carefully !

the firmware flash lifts the hboot to a JB one and then install any JB rom you like

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohuss83:
Dear XDA-community,

I successfully accessed the Google Play Store from my location in Germany. I do this via market enabler and Hotspot Shield VPN. My phone is of course rooted. Everything seems to works fine but when trying to rent a movie I get the following error message: Error while retrieving information from server [BM-PP-19]. Is there a way I can work around this and rent movies from the US-Store? I already tried deleting my account, clearing the play store cache and adding the account again. This does not seem to fix the problem. I have attached a screenshot of the error message.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Google the error message .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohuss83:
That was the first thing I did. Unfortunately this error message is unknown to Google. Any other hints how I can access the movies?

nb: this week google play has 100's of free tv shows as part of aniversery..so try it today!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddx77:
How do I install tunnel bar on my pc? Using my pc to access the playstore I am only given the option to send it to my phone. Also if the tunnel bar doesn't work do you have to have t mobile for the second way to work? Will it work with an AT&T galaxy note?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IRPnet:
Send it to your phone. That will install it, assuming you have Wifi or data on your phone.

I'm not familiar with the software, but here in the UK only some carriers support movies/live tv streams etc. Perhaps thats the reason.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddx77:
So I found out the problem for those of us outside the US. I contacted google about it and I was told even though we can access the US playstore because we have a US billing address or whatever we cannot purchase tv shows or movies because the right to them are not in those regions. So basically we can look but not buy which seems pointless to me. However I did find a strange work around. I had my mom log into my google account back in the US and get a free episode of Aqua Teen. She said it added to my account but I didn't see it on my screen over here. I went to bed and when I woke up it was on my google play account on both my phone and computer. However I could not watch it on my computer because I would always get an error but I could stream it and download it on my galaxy note.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janoee:
If I got it right, you lose your CWM because you have your bootloader locked, and therefore stock kernel, most custom kernels have a CWM included and you keep it as long as you keep the kernel, even after wiping.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rage77:
I'm about to put in an order for the Nexus 4. I've been totally committed to doing this for a month now (waiting for my current subscription to expire). Today I saw an article about Xperia Z and some comments on the upcoming Mobile World Congress and all the news that are expected.

I'm currently sunning a Samsung galaxy S2 with CM 10.1. I hate Touchwiz and really want to run android vanilla as far as I can. I enjoy having the latest version of Android and am a bit tired of the un-cooperative Samsung devs that makes the CM 10.1 ROM only run "OK-ish".

So my question to you that have the Nexus 4 today is:

What else (besides quick updates) makes the Nexus 4 beat the competition today and would you still buy a Nexus 4 if you could change your mind (had your money back) today?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
There won't be anything at MWC that challenges Nexus4 on the value for money front. Sure the Xperia Z is a great phone, same specs as the N4, better camera, but it's double the price.

If you are looking to pay the N4 price, and nothing more, then MWC will have nothing for you. (Huawei Ascend P2 possibly, but it's still not a Nexus device).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
Agreed.

@OP, it comes down to whether or not you would appreciate the new hardware or not. I personally couldn't care less about better processors, cameras and 1080p displays because from day to day usage I would never notice any difference. With the N4 you get brilliant hardware and software at an unbeatable price. Given the choice now I'd still get myself a N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
There might be some phones out at MWC that might challenge N4. The Optimus G Pro especially with a Snapdragon 600 chip. However no phone will be at the price to performance ratio of N4. Also none of those phones will have guaranteed upgrade to new android versions after first 6-10 months.

btw CM10.1 running badly on S2 is not a fault of un-cooperative Samsung CM devs, but Samsung Mobile itself.I owned one and moved to N4 just so I can run latest version of Android ASAP.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rage77:
Thank you all for good answers and helping me decide. Yes, Nexus 4 is still the phone for me as I like to root and run the latest Android version and as you mentioned, I probably won't care much for that slightly faster CPU and so on, that's not the important parts for me.

Sorry I was probably unclear in what I meant, I know it's not Team Hacksungs fault, it's that they don't get any cooperation from Samsung mobiles devs and that ***ing Exynos crap.

Aaahh, feels good. I'll just click on "Order" now and await my beautiful Nexus in the mail next week.

Thanks guys! :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
If you're lucky, it may arrive the next day like mine did :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irzero:
Who cares about value for money when in most countries phones are free with new contracts. The Nexus ISNT cheaper than any other phone even the iPhone in the UK when taken with a normal 24 month contract.

So basically you have to ask yourself do you want to compromise on everything just to get stock Android. Because this phone is full of compromises
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rage77:
That depends;

More MP in camera and TouchWiz interface vs lesser MP in camera and updated stock Android UI? - Then definitely stock Android UI

There are countless of comparisons having to be made if I were to compare all models and I don't even know of all these "compromises" you're talking about. Some of them are more known than others and most come down to taste and preference which is why I created this thread. I want to know your opinions since you (probably) already own the N4.

So, we come back to my original question: What compromises are most significant for you and what would you choose today?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolqf:
I would buy it again. Three things I love about the nexus 4

1) Stability. I have owned samsung phones and they really aren't as stable as the competition. I'm talking stock out of the box. 2) look and feel. The phone feels good and expensive. Samsung has always felt cheap

3) speed/ram. This device will easily last me two years. That's two years if no headaches with updates, lack of stability, apps being buggy on my device, etc.

I like to avoid downtime and for that reason like to avoid custom Roms.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irzero:
i wouldnt choose today.

Id wait for the S4, the M7 and the X Phone all to show me what they have before i went with the nexus.

The nexus is based on last years specs. Poor battery dodgy camera and a washed out 720p screen. Build quality is so so also and android can be lacking in many areas that the skinned versions dont.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
I wouldn't get the N4. I'd say the S3 I had before it was better, more stable and better features, but the 4G version is ever faster than the Nexus 4 and of course has a slightly better camera and better software.

The LTE S3 my GF has is running fast, smooth and stable from day one, with zero updates and no need for a custom rom and I am still having day to day crashes and wifi issues with my Nexus 4.

I love the N4 but have to say that HTC, Samsung and the rest do it better than google still.

For the record, custom roms like CM have always run the same for me regardless of platform, they're no more or less stable whether on HTC Desire, GS3, N4 or GSM galaxy nexus. All these fingers pointed at Samsung for exynos drivers etc is just sour grapes as out of all of the phones I listed, the GS3 runs just as well as the rest.

I'd get an Xperia Z or wait on samsung or HTC to release something new as however they are moaned at, they're stuff is still more stable than any google pure software or custom rom.

In defense of custom roms, they do have a few more customization options than the manufacturer overlays, but do lack some of the features in manufacturer skins.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rage77:
Man, now I have to cancel my order... Way too many different thoughts.

Thank you, precisely what I needed, some food for thought to digest to make a better decision.
