[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
I have a replacement phone from T-Mobile that's not getting the update. I have the file. Just need to know where to rename it UPDATE.ZIP so i can install it on Recovery. Anyone?

// Tapatalk HD for Android - Nexus 7 //
[HTC Amaze 4G] ItsTommyBoy:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can do that. Just make sure your bootloader is locked. If it doesn't work, try doing it from the Amaze All In One Kit v5.1 in the Development section.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
I don't see any option in Hasoon's kit (screenshot in post 1) for installing an OTA update. Am I missing something?

Bootloader doesn't have to be relocked, BTW, I just updated another Amaze that had it downloaded and ready to install with the bootloader unlocked. Stock recovery image is needed.

Problem is knowing what folder to put the OTA in ... /sdcard/ ? /media/ ? I presume (could be wrong) that the OTA zip file is renamed UPDATE.ZIP and copied somewhere. Looking for some first hand knowledge....
[HTC Amaze 4G] masondoctorjt:
Leave the zip with its original name and put it in the internal sd card in the download folder. That's where it put it when it was pushed to my phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
Thanks but doesn't seem to do anything. "There are no updates available for your phone."

// Tapatalk HD for Android - Nexus 7 //
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
Did you anyhow try - renaming that 30MB OTA into PH85IMG.ZIP and placing it on your external sd card, then rebooting into Bootloader? And what?
[HTC Amaze 4G] siva_rknec:
I did but it didn't work

HTC Amaze 4G

Unlocked bootloader and rooted

S-ON

Flashed latest OTA by sports

Faux v29 kernel

Baseband didn't udpate, still 1.14
[HTC Amaze 4G] jauhien:
Apparently it found your custom recovery / root / unlocked boot.. and stopped.

ChromeJob's handheld is the complete stock..
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
(edit) Tries it at home. "I'll be damned...." (/edit)

Too much time spent with Nexus devices this year.... :eek:

On my defective handset, I determined that you can apply the update with the bootloader unlocked, but you DO need to have stock recovery. The recovery image is in firmware.zip inside the OTA update zip file. Seems to require *NIX to unzip, old WinZIP on Windows reported it corrupted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
It reads the file, there's a little vertical gas gauge that fills up on the upper right of the screen, then ... nothing. Whut next?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ChromeJob:
Just an update for those who find this thread. HTC tech support assure me that putting the OTA update in the root of the external SD card (microSDHC) renamed to PH85IMG.ZIP should work. But it never did. I just left the phone on for 10 days, it never automagically alerted me to the update (with regular checks selected/enabled), but a few mornings ago I tapped "Check now" and it found it. Downloaded, installed, etc.

After unlocking again I found that I could boot from CWM recovery externally, make a nandroid backup, etc. So now I can play and restore the system to stock ... after determining if the OTA fixes anything for me.

BIG THANKS to those trying to help. I don't think your suggestions were at fault (though telling me to flash it to an RUU ROM when it was already 100% stock makes no self-evident sense to me), I think HTC hboot, fastboot, and stock recovery are eccentric and faulty.[1] I still learned some tricks and skills from you.... I'm getting better at fastboot and adb on the command line, and understanding how the Android device architecture works. :)

[1] HTC's own tech support said what I was doing would succeed, but it didn't. Either their information is FU, or the Amaze is FU.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cuban11182:
I have a VZW S3 and love it. I'm in the Coast Guard and a new buddy of mine has the T-Mobile version with the unlimited plan with the 5 gig cap before it slows down. He is definately not a crack flasher, like I am, so I'd like to either keep him at stock and remove the restriction (if it is possible) or give him an EXTREMELY stable TW rom. If he decided to get addicted then thats on him.

So my questions are as follows:

1. It's as easy to root this one as mine? Download a toolbox for TMobile and plug her in?

2. Is there a date retriction removal modification?

3. If he wants to try a different ROM what is the most stable ROM for the Tmobile variant.

Oh and on a side note does TMO limit the speed of tethering with the native installation? IE would it be faster to root and use wifi tether, or another app, as opposed to the native tethering on the stock ROM?

I'm going to search in the meanwhile, but I know there are some more knowledgeable people here that can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shrty4luv:
I think the best way to tether is using a custom rom and as far as rooting,he need to get the odin file and use chain fire auto root through odin...it does everything for you...hope this help you out...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] myowin:
1. Odin is easiest and fastest way to root. Took me whole 23 seconds. Lol.

2. no idea since I never use it.

3. If your want stock looking clean simple and noob proved rom, go with infamous rom. If you want more customization, go with Darthstalker rom. Both are stable but you get more out of battery from infamous. There are also slimstock rom that stripped down version of stock with minimal apps and tweaks but had real good battery. Plenty more but you have to find what fit the device best. .hope this helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
The TMo version is easier to root than the VZW one. You have to unlock that one's bootloader first. Not with the TMo version :)

I personally recommend you don't root the phone at all - leave it stock. If and when he decides he wants more from it (probably will be your doing :)), then we can get into rooting it. But if he doesn't really care, no reason to void warranty. You would permanent tech support. Probably not the best move, just imo.

[General Topics] flavien317:
Hi, I have find on google, the thinnest phone in the world, for now it is just dual core, but in few months in quad core and 2g ram !!!

For stop the suspens, the size is 6.55mm !!!!!

here a little desciption :p (same factory of oppo)

and vs iphone 5 (7.6mm)

More rumours surrounding BBK’s Vivo X1s suggest the MTK phone will get a quad-core processor after all, but at an $80 price hike!

$480 is a lot of money to be spending on an Android smartphone, and when you begin looking at this lofty price bracket you rightly demand more for your money. This is why the 5-inch 1080, Oppo Find 5 made so many waves! At $500 is represents the best value for money 1080 phone currently on the market, and this is where Vivo are going to fall flat on their face!

Last year the Vivo X1 launched with dual-core MT6577 processor and thin 6.55mm body for $401, we thought it was far too expensive, you thought it was to expensive, and it seems Chinese consumers believe so too as I have only ever seen one out in public!

Still Vivo are not deterred by this and plan to launch an updated version of the X1 with dual-sim support and a more efficient quad-core MT6589 processor running at 1.2Ghz. The X1s, as the updated phone will be known, will get the same 720 HD display, 2GB RAM, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, 2000mAh battery and high-quality stereo audio all in the same super slim 6.55mm alloy body.

So have Vivo decided to lower the price of the X1s, or at least sell the phone at the same price as the X1 despite the updates? No, is the answer. The quad-core Vivo X1s is scheduled for release in April at the 2998 Yuan ($481), that ‘s 1 Yuan less the the Oppo Find 5 with 5-inch 1080 display, Snapdragon S4 and 13 mega-pixel camera!!

Come on Vivo what are you playing at?!

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
You may try this first ...

get the boot loader screen (Power + soft reset) press the calendar button. This should bring the GSM menu. Select "Turn GSM off" and do a soft reset. If it works and you get the normal Today screen, connect the XDA to your PC through Active Sync. Locate the directory \windows\startup and delete the RSU upgrade file (something like RSupgrade.sa.cab).

If all this works, download the latest upgrade version from TMO 4.01.00 and either do a full upgrade (RSU + CE) or extract the RSU upgrade files using Winzip and put them on SD card and flash you device.

Good luck ... :)

Hi Guys, (SEE PIC)

So a few years back a family member gifted my wife this tablet, over the year's we've moved on to better ones, but a day ago my wife found it in storage while looking for something else.

Its from china it seems, doesn't have a name on it ANYWHERE..lol. but checking online via the battery and image searches i THINK its a Wistech MIDNITE or a81e? Cant be sure, but i know its super old, clearly it still has silver home/menu/back hard buttons on the face of the device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NickTheMajin:
I remember reading about a fix for this a couple of months ago but I didn't have the issue until recently. Past two weeks or so I haven't been able to tether because whenever I click tether on my phone it begins to cycle 4G on and off repeatedly. While not tethering I have a constant 4G connection. I have rebooted my phone and flashed two different ROMs. This is using several tethering apps including the stock one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:
I had the same problem.

I called Verizon about it and the said to clear cache. They also did a "reset" on their end...?

Clearing RAM should help too.

It did for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NickTheMajin:
Sadly the clearing of cache didn't help the tethering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snapcrackpop:

If I use the internet on my phone, its pretty stable and fast, but when I tether, it starts cutting in and out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NickTheMajin:
I've tried just about everything I saw on Google and in the threads on this matter and have found nothing that works. I've odined back to stock, used numerous different tethering programs (Including treve), switched sims and tried several different roms. Absolutely nothing works.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] yidavs2010:
Hey guys,

After this easter morning disappointment from the software update, I have decided that its time to root my phone to get my Jelly Bean. Therefore, I want to ask this community, what would be the best ROM based on what I want from my phone? Basically, I want it to still feel stock but not have to deal with the At&t bloatware and I want to be able to use 4G LTE. That's basically it. I have heard of SnowJB and Nocturnal but I am not really sure of the differences between them and feel free to suggest others. Also if I used the incorrect terminology, I apologize I am a n00b that wants to learn.

Thanks for the help,

yidavs
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sawdey21:
I'll definitely recommend SnowJB is you're looking for a stock feel without all the extra bloat. I used that for a while, until CFX became more stable as an AOSP rom. Unlocking is simple now with freegee now in the appstore. Just be sure to read and root before using it. Backup your efs prior to flashing stuff with it and place it somewhere on your computer. It's a small chance of that getting messed up, but with a backup you will be fine. Any questions you should be able to get a faster response in the IRC channel.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] therealburk:
Battery on CFX kills my nexus converted OG to the point I might use my backup OG for that reason alone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] powerwagon:
SnowJB is the only way to go if you want a fully functional Jellybean ROM. I've been using it for a few weeks and it's as problem free as any ROM I've used before. Definitely recommend it!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DonMarek:
Another vote for SnowJB. If you want to upgrade to Jellybean, but want all the features working, its the only option at the moment as the 4.2.2 ROMs are still working out all the issues/missing features. It's a great ROM. I've been running it for like a month with zero problems.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] icytrey:
The xperia 4.1.2 ROM is rock solid as well.running it with mysterious' kernel. No issues.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] EricErb:
SnowJB

Another vote for SnowJB as a daily driver, but if you can do without a camera, go for CodeFireX unless you've done the N4 conversion. CFX is fast, clean, and excellent battery life, and SO many more features and options. Including controlling your media with the volume rocker, Widgets on the lock screen, and custom unlock targets.

why do you want to do that? keep your stock ROM as your backup if anything happens when installing other ROMs on other slot.

Did your backup of stock have Voodoo OTA protected SU. If it did try disabling voodoo su protection and then make a backup. Otherwise when you restore you end up with just a black screen sometimes. also delete rom slot 1 and re-receate it then install backup.
