Question 5 of your little quiz.

Im a complete networking/computer nerd..But what man in the right mind would not drop what he is doing to chase his wife/GF to the room or some tail??? even the nerdiest computer guys want some hot tail.. just saying if you answered c that should be -3000 points.... Just saying but the rest are so true... Also be warned like the OP said you can kill your phone if your not careful or even if you follow the steps to the T. I bricked my old HTC one X even after following the process. it seems i flashed a bad copy of the custom recovery to my phone and it went in to and endless boot loop.

I guess it depends on the person. I often go into what I like to describe as a "hyper concentration state" And I don't like any distractions, no matter the physical reward, who or what is going on around me, I can't stop doing what I'm doing until I've reached my goal.

Maybe I'm missing the sex at all costs portion of the brain most men seem to have.

Noob root HTC One XL AT&T

I am a noob at rooting and flashing phones. I must say that after reading these threads for a while I gave it a try. It was rather easy. the hard part was all the B/S because of my phone being an AT&T. Now it is an addiction. I have learned a lot and will continue to. Thanks to everyone on the XDA team and those who put in the hard work.

Might I say, as my very first post, that this was an excellent post :cowboy:

That being said, I think you forgot the step by step tutorial: where do I need to point and click :D:D:D

(I am only joking, of course. Precisely what you warn for is why I am not modding yet. I am and guy who, as the last living creature on this earth, finally also entered the world of smart phones. Although I have been doing FreeBSD and Linux since the mid '90's, I honestly have no clue what the concepts, process steps and such are. I don't want to mod 'per se', but I want a firewall on my HTC, and it appears for that I need to get familiar with the modding processes. I tried pkg_add -r firewall in a shell, but it said it didn't want to do that :silly:).

Well, I've been a Mainframe, Midrange, and now a Web developer; and certainly qualify as a laughable Noob on mobile OS. Oh yes, your observations, with minor tweaking, apply to my industry too. In fact I think I'll steel them!

On another note, though I understand why such articles are salutary, here am I with an HTC One X, a present of a little D-Zero outboard DAC, a Micro USB to Mini USB adapter, headphones, and ZILCH coming out of them - and I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't try to upgrade Android.

Mind you, it's a measure of my ignorance that I'm not don't even know if some higher Android (I'm on 4.0.4) would be the answer. Pathetic, ain't I, all you experts?!

Great kindhearted thread, but several things made it seem like you assumed you were addressing a male which is very offensive to many females... such as myself. Women do like having control over their technology too, you know. Not posting this to snip, just to make you aware of the way you speak to a unisex audience. :)

I'm sure the author did not mean it like that. Our mannerisms often transfer into our writing, thus phrases like "welcome brother" show up. Here on xda, we DO NOT TOLERATE any sexist or racist comments. We're all a bunch of people who like breaking into their phone.

I just want you to know that the author did not mean for the thread to come off like that. I know girls who are infinitely better at coding java than I am in school. That's just the way it works. You try something and you get good at, you get better than someone who doesn't try as hard

[General Questions and Answers] summersab:
So, I had idea, and I don't know if it's been done. I wondered if it would be useful to create a list of as many phones made by each manufacturer as possible, include the launch date, and determine the date of the last update provided. Based on this, we could take an average of how long each manufacturer provides updates for their devices before EOLing hardware (even though it's usually an artificial EOL since the devices are more than capable of running current releases). Would anyone be interested in this data, and would anyone like to assist me in this pursuit?
[General Questions and Answers] Robogar:
Interesting idea and it may take a lot of data analysis to figure that out.

Also something to consider is that does it differ by region? I spoke to one of my friends who works in Hong Kong Fortress (a big box store like Best Buy) and for HK, supposedly Sony and Samsung get the quickest updates. Him mentioning Sony definitely surprised me. After that it's HTC and then LG. except for the Nexus 4 of course.. I can attest to LG since my last phone Optimux 2X took forever to get updates available.

Also note that in HK, Motorola has pretty much given up on the market, so I don't think any of their phones get updates here anymore.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Your biggest issue will be that the OEMs dont control updates in alot of places. The carriers have most of the power when it comes to updates. The OEM may send them an update but the carrier can refuse to push the update to handsets.
[General Questions and Answers] strangesura:
of course,sony and samsung privde updates the fastest and newer versions of android(samsung updates its 2 year old dual cores to 4.2.2 adn some of them come from 2.3).Htc is also up with updates,but a bit slower.Well,lg is out of the list.They never update their phones.The promised a ics update for my e730 last summer and i still run on gb
[General Questions and Answers] alpha-niner64:
This sounds about right. Those "Dual-core" phones were the Galaxy i9100 and the S2 Skyrocket variant for AT&T for 4.1.2. Instead of Sony: I would put ASUS next. Their TF300 got the 4.2 update back in March. In-fact: ASUS Support has no restrictions about recommending Custom ROMs and will even link you to a few.

Sony and LG are like....eh. I'd even add HTC to the list. They put out a list, but it's ages before we hear from them again.
[General Questions and Answers] Edmond1:
I dream of a future when we have open platforms and we can update devices at our will...
[General Questions and Answers] naxian:

[General Questions and Answers] Robogar:
Yes LG is indeed the worst. The official GINGERBREAD update came out for the Optimus 2X in December 2012... and it was extremely buggy, pretty much unusable. Needless to say I ditched the phone in March.

just

adb pull /cache/fumo
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I think it's approved but it's not been rolled out yet?
[HTC Droid DNA] matteebee:
This is the update I was told about by tech support when I kept complaining about SIM card problems to Verizon after I borked (voice service, sms/mms suddenly stopped working while lte worked fine) my launch day device. I had insurance through a kiosk store so in order to avoid a refurb with 2.04 installed I plunked down $75 deductible for a brand new rootable replacement (so glad I did!). I literally had to physically damage it in order to do so even though the only thing wrong was no voice service. Anyway... The sales rep at the kiosk told me Sense5 (Android 4.2) is expected soon as well in another OTA update, but I wonder why they wouldn't have just put these updates together? Something does smell a bit fishy here.

I haven't had any SIM errors with my replacement so I'll steer around this one for now... How does Sense5 (4.2) sound for the DNA with an official release? Newt's port is pretty impressive but an official version might just smooth things out even more. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but why would VZW update the DNA if a newer device like the One is around the corner using Sense5? Wouldn't it make more "sense" to hold off on the 4.2 update to make us all want new phones? I heard they weren't going to carry it but who knows?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Because it's 1000x easier to make a update to fix 1 specific thing and have it approved by verizon then it is to essentially rewrite everyrhing and have months of back and forth between Verizon and HTC.
[HTC Droid DNA] matteebee:
So does that mean we most likely will never have an "official" version of Sense5? Thank God for newt's port cuz this thing is humming and I'm very impressed with zoe.
[HTC Droid DNA] craigbailey1986:
I read somewhere we will see sense 5 once the one is released in the States. Probably by the end of the month I assume.

I used the Gallery app to send a link that blends music with photos and video called "HTC share". I mistook that for zoe I guess. Off topic for here but still a really cool feature I didn't see available in Sense4.

I was also told by vzw to expect sense 5.. He is also a member here can't remember his name though

I will gladly take the update and pull it from my phone, only problem is I won't be in the states for a week and I'm not taking my phone.

[HTC Droid DNA] elkay:
Probably a driver update which means there will likely be a new kernel involved. Funny, seeing as HTC finally *just* released the source for the last OTA update kernel. They waited so long that they were technically outside the open source agreement. Going to be a bummer if this is the case, as those using custom kernels could be waiting just as long for this fix to be able to be applied to custom kernels.
[HTC Droid DNA] WizeGuyDezignz:
I wouldn't, but it's your call. The note 2 is a very overrated device imo, I think you will ultimately regret it.

Long story short, I went from a dna to a note 2 and back to a dna. I'm glad that I'm back. :thumbup:
[HTC Droid DNA] Vinchenzop:
I can speak from personal experience that sprint it far from a 'first' for updates. Verizon is more current than sprint when it comes to maintainting pace with updates. I can't personally speak for AT&T or T-Moblile. But trust when i say that you'll likely find the same behaviour on any company that isn't full-blown GSM

I have a friend at work that bought the note 2 with a trade in of his evo 4g LTE (Sprint customer) and then traded his note2 + $50 for a new LTE because despite the bigger screen, he prefered an HTC device. Obviously, the decision is up to you, but from what I've seen with the note 2...the extra screen space isn't really worth it
[HTC Droid DNA] vcolon12:
I'ts possible. I also read somewhere there is a bounty to whomever finds a new way to unlock device after the update.

[HTC Droid DNA] [indiferenc]:
Maybe Verizon isn't getting anything, and their idea for competing against the one is updating the DNA to sense 5? I mean, the specs between the two devices are very similar, to carry both seems kind of redundant. Maybe the rumored "dna+" showing up on leaked Verizon SKU listings is just an update for the original DNA? Idk this is all crap
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
The dna+ is a device tho
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Guess nobody got the ota.
[HTC Droid DNA] [indiferenc]:
Correct me if I'm missing something, but the only thing I've seen on the DNA+ is a sku listing and a leak from some Twitter handle. No specs, no pics, nothing else. It could just be like the sensation xe that was completely identical to the sensation 4g except for adding beats audio and overclocked cpu. My guess is the only new things on the DNA+ will be over clocked cpu, sense 5, possibly phone color, brand new marketing campaign that competes with the One, and full price. Maybe sd card slot or competitive internal memory, new battery but Ill put money on 95% identical hardware. Idk just a guess though. But if you've seen something else on the DNA + send me the link! I'm curious
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Ota update will be on 4/15. Confirmed with vzw tech support.
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
I was just stating it's not an update, but a phone... It's probably nothing big. Just probably add sense 5 and ir transmittor.
[HTC Droid DNA] atishpatel2012:
1. So we should refrain from updating?

2. if we are on stock, do we need to disable update (how?) or just say no when prompted?

3. Do you guys think we'll have more luck with rooting with ota update?
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
doom and gloom over an supposed update? LOL

I think the DNA is a great phone just the way it is. If you want to root it, mazel tov. If you want to leave it stock, fantastic. What you shouldn't do is put so much effort into worrying about an update.

If you plan on rooting your phone, disable OTA. If you don't plan on rooting it, update your phone. If you rooted your phone, it's moot.

Simple.
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
People need to realize a couple of things.

1) just because something is simple for you, doesn't mean that it is simple for someone else.

[HTC Droid DNA] Metroidfreak33:
Hey, I have the prompt. I'm on stock though. Am I still able to pull the update for you? How do I download the OTA without actually installing?
[HTC Droid DNA] afkguy:
This method didn't work. I quickly browsed through my entire root directory trying to find the update using a file manager. I only looked in root though, not the sd card folder so maybe this update was saved on the sd card folder. Cache folder was always empty.

I pressed OK thinking my phone didn't download the update yet but sadly the update went through and pressing and holding the power button didn't stop it from updating.
[HTC Droid DNA] alikaz:
I just tried it too. I downloaded the update, and hit defer. I am navigating to /cache and the folder is empty. I'm using wifi file explorer pro, and I'm not rooted, on the last OTA. Anyone have any ideas for me to try so I can get a copy of this update to you guys?

edit: I bet we can't view the /cache folder because the phone's not rooted. I suppose someone will have to loose root to actually get this file downloaded and off the device, unless there's a method to download the OTA on a rooted device, and then prevent it from installing/deferred-installing.... I will wait until I hear some suggestions here before installing the update. I am actually interested in trying it out because my phone as recently started to exhibit the horrible SIM card problems others have dealt with. I didn't have any issues before a couple of days ago, but yesterday for example I had the SIM error 4 times.
[HTC Droid DNA] tobiascrystal:
Probably the stupidest question ever but have any of you that took the OTA already tried the old method for boot loader unlock again?
