Asurion is absolutely amazing. Their customer service is great and they're fast, easy, and helpful. I was visiting my friend who goes to a different college a few hours away and i lost my phone at some party. i waited a couple days in case it was found....which it wasnt. I called up Asurion and told them everything that happened, I filed for a claim and the next morning they said they would be able to send out a new phone and all I had to pay was the deductible. I got the phone within 48 hours, so I DEFINITELY recommend Asurion, they literally cover ANTYHING, whether it's water damage, broken, or even if you lost it.

and i know many people are thinking that they could just CLAIM that it's lost and get a new one by paying just the deductible. noooo that is not possible (at least i dont think...), because you have to provide your imei number, so they can block it from being used

I've had nothing but good experiences. I have 5 lines and have used them for insurance for at least 5 years. I've had to make at least 2 claims a year (well I've never had to but for the other 4 lines) and I've always had great customer support, overnight delivery and a new phone. The only time I've had a "problem" is when they didn't have a Inc2 in stock and they sent my wife a DROID RAZR.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netter123:
I had a bad experience with them just a couple months ago and posted a thread about it here you could search for. They basically said it would be a week or two before they could send me ANY replacement at all - they gave me zero options to choose from after telling me they were out of the S3. After a few calls and couple hours of threatening them, they finally offered to reimburse me if I went out and bought a brand new one. Decent result, but really had to fight for it and took a lot of hassle (and I definitely started off politely asking for any options aside simply waiting for a couple weeks without a phone).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_onion:
My fiancee's EVO 4g was in desperate need of replacing, so we went and got new phones. She had been playing this damned Smurf Village game for about a year and a half, and I thought I'd pull a white knight -- root the phone, back it up on Titanium, transfer the backup to the new phone, root that, restore. She insists she's okay starting over, but I thought it'd be a nice gesture. Rooting the new phone (LG Optimus G) was a piece of cake. The EVO 4g took me some time to get it to work ...

In my poor attempts at multitasking, I didn't do a nandroid backup and completely overlooked where it said it would restore to factory settings.

Is all lost? I did a search on it while it was plugged into the PC as an external drive and found a bunch of (edit: Smurf-related) files, so I feel like the data might still be there.

If not, it's all good. I learned from my mistake (I mean, c'mon, big_onion, every damn set of instructions says "make a nandroid backup") but if there's any way to get it back it might make her day.

Data restoration aside, after flashing Superuser, I still can't get TitaniumBackup to obtain superuser privileges. Any ideas what I might've done wrong? The method I used was to unlock the bootloader via HTC site, then flashboot recovery, then flash superuser. The app is there, but it doesn't seem to issue SU rights to TitaniumBackup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
Best way to gain root is to flash any custom rom here on xda. Unless it is a completely stock rom it is rooted and works without any issues. I rooted my second og evo a few days ago and had the same issue with the stock rom. After flashing a custom rom I had full root access.

Now as far as data goes most apps store that on the sdcard. I suggest installing the game on the new phone then power off and insert your old sdcard into the new phone. Hopefully it will use the old data and return your wife's game to her last state and make you look like a champ.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9h0s7:
Uhm...

You don't root android by flashing a rooted custom rom on a non root phone.

Rooting a phone must be done via a PC there is no other way.

Some stock roms ARE root.

The reason you had problems is because you were root and tried to install a non-root stock rom, if you would have installed a rooted stock rom you would of had no problems.

smh
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
Umm root is done by rom. Unlocking bootloader is the part done by pc.

You can be unlocked without root but can not root until you are unlocked. Rooting is the granting of admin rights to the user's apps.

I did not have an issue because I installed a non rooted rom. The rom was already on the phone which is the same spot the op is in. He is unlocked but not rooted. The htcdev unlock does not grant root rights to the current stock rom. Also the flashable zip did not grant the rom root rights.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9h0s7:
You don't go from not being rooted to being rooted by flashing a custom rom on the phone from the recovery menu, unless you accidentally flashed a non-root rom while you were already root.

They're both done via PC at the same time with the same program (Unrevoked3 is only temporary nand)

Unrevoked Forever unlocks the bootloader permanently via recovery with an .img

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
Wow man this will be my last response here about this but I want to say a couple quick things. First did you even read the link you posted? Yes with unrevoked you can gain nand unlock and root at the same time but if you also read it says this.

Does unrevoked³ give me root?

Yes. It previously did not; as of version 3.0, it does.

So root and nand unlock are not the same and is not always done at the same time. It is possible to be nand unlocked and not have root. Which is the case when you use htcdev unlock. Do your homework before you go making statements please.

I am not here trying to run anyone down and start fights but I am here to spread knowledge and help out others with problems. If you give someone bad information it will cause problems down the line later. Most people will assume you know what you are talking about when you make a post even if the information is not correct. So please take the time and make sure your information is correct before you post it.

So take a look at links I have posted and see what root is, how it is used, and see the difference.

This is a general overview of the root permission (depending on os it is called many different things)

This is what it means with the android

If you backed up the game, you can always download titanium backup and restore. Make sure you didn't delete the files from sd-card (they should be there). Sorry if this was already answered or i'm wrong. :fingers-crossed:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_onion:
It's already unlocked, via the instructions from the HTC dev site. I didn't use Unrevoked -- I tried, and got a message about something being too new of a version. I'll dig around more, but I before I spent too much time I wanted to make sure I could restore the data on the stupid Smurf game for her.

I did NOT do a Titanium Backup of anything on there before I started. The LG Optimus G doesn't have an SD card, so I can't just swap SD cards. I can copy files from the EVO to the PC then to the LGOG. I think I might install Smurfs on the new phone, root it, then just try and copy the Smurf files from the EVO over to the Optimus G and see if overwriting the data files would restore her game.

Will report back on whether or not it works, or if I can't get superuser working.

And chill out, friends. I appreciate all sorts of info, even if it's not what I'm looking for. Y'all rock.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortydoggg:
I think he meant "Htcdev site" then "fastboot flash recovery", but it seems like Big_Onion did everything right as far as rooting the phone, but there can be other reasons why Titanium is not working properly. It could be Titanium data needs to be wiped or it could be an issue with busybox. He never said he was not rooted, he only said that superuser was not giving Titanium root permissions, which has happened to me also. I wish he would have ran the root checker app too, to verify did he really have root or not. Then it would be easier to tell which path to take.

And also, why are we arguing over unrevoked and unrevoked-forever? Those don't work on the newer stock roms, because they were patched in 2011 by the first Gingerbread update on. Since big_onion used the Htcdev site, he is likely on Gingerbread. They, unrevoked3 and forever, would only work if he downgraded the radios to the ones which came with either Eclair or Froyo, the two previous operating systems. Titanium backup only needs an unlocked bootloader from the Htcdev site, and superuser permissions from the superuser app to work. Anything else is just extra, at least on Gingerbread.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
Hi Fellas.

If you have used a S2 or a S3 before, you would know that the home button does not react instantly. The main reason is due to the S-Voice which is activated when you double-press the home button.

The S-voice can be disabled, thus making the home button react instantly.

Now, for the HTC One, in order to multitask, you have to double-tap on the home button. Does the home button react instantly when tap once? Instead of double-tap, I really wished it could have been tap-and-hold, just like the back button. Why the inconsistencies in behavior?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
I've seen some mention of these things lately, so I decided to pull it all together to see if there is really an issue here.

I was on 1.82 firmware/1.09 hboot until very recently, running JB roms/kernels. I was unstable to the point of getting 10+ reboots a day, almost always while the screen was off and I wasn't doing anything. During this period, I noticed some odd wifi behavior, such as wifi remaining stuck on even when the phone was asleep. Or, wifi would return an error when I tried to turn it on. Changing roms and kernels did not help. It continued no matter what I was running, no matter what kernel settings I was using.

Other people have mentioned similar problems, thought I'm not sure they're identical. I've begun to suspect there may be some incompatibilities between the original/early firmware and the newest bases and radios.

This weekend, I ruu'd to 2.20 and flashed the new AT&T ota, then flashed a new JB rom. So far, I haven't gotten any reboots, though it's too soon to be sure this has solved the problem (sometimes the reboots would stop for a day or two).

If anyone else has seen this, let's discuss it.

(Note: Please post

Re: [THINK TANK] Are you having reboots/wifi issues on older firmware + JB

I'm on 1.85 I had reboots until I updated WiFi partitions when jelly bean first came out and has been reboot free ever since.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] edditnyc:
You brought up interesting points in the CR6 thread so I'm wondering if there's a good reason for someone like me (hboot 1.09 and s-off) to upgrade the firmware without creating a mess somewhere else. I do notice random reboots in some ROMs. Mostly with Sense ROMs to be honest. When I flash back to CM I don't notice any reboots unless it's a bug in the nightlies or a known issue (GPS for instance was crashing CM at one point).

That said, h8rift (Evita's CM maintainer) advocates downgrading touchscreen firmware to be able to use any AOSP ROM. In his thread on downgrading, he calls out 2.14 OTA but I'd imagine this would also apply to 2.20, no? Seems like the 1.09 crowd has to pick between instabilities in Sense/stable AOSP and stable Sense and no AOSP.

Thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
There may be something to this. I've seen a lot of /proc/last_kmsg and some of them have reboots caused by wifi failing to suspend properly. IIRC, basically it tries to suspend but wakes up repeatedly until it has an unrecoverable crash and the system shuts down. I don't have any of these handy, but if anyone gets a random reboot while the phone is off, post /proc/last_kmesg here for reference. It may be of help figuring out what the problem is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
I suspect it is indeed a Sense issue. I don't think it's been reported on AOSP roms.

As far as upgrading like I did, I've never been into AOSP on my HOX, so I'm not concerned about the touchscreen issue. But if you want AOSP, I believe you're stuck with earlier hboots until someone comes up with a fix.

Note that 2.20 is the AT&T 4.0.4 base; 2.14 is the JB hboot. The latest AT&T base is 3.18.

Re: [THINK TANK] Are you having reboots/wifi issues on older firmware + JB

I have only gotten a WiFi induced reboot in a very low signal (ie unusable) area. It would just keep trying to reconnect until it finally reboot. I upped the voltage to stock and it seemed to go away.

I had/have firmware 1.73 and hboot 1.09. Currently running ElementalX bulletproof, CleanROM JB beta, 3.18 radio + RIL. Haven't had any reboots in months.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
I tried playing with my voltage, and it didn't help. Even "extra" voltage didn't stop the reboots.
