[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Rageweawer:
I wanna run on stock (no kernels, rom etc..) and upgrade via oficial HTC updates. Is it possible with rooted phone?

I also heard I will lose all my apps and data when I root my phone.

These are additional questions I posted before.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mr Hofs:
You can install ota's after root, just do NOT remove any system apps ! And after applying the root with the custom recovery you need to flash back the corresponding STOCK recovery.

When you UNLOCK the bootloader you will be put back to full factory stock, so yes. Nothing will be erased by applying root itself

You can however make backups of the stuff you need from the stock rom with the app called CARBON.

hope this helps you

Im really getting more and more information onto the "Ball of information" and Im getting lost :(

Please tell me answer for this:

I got HTC One X but games on it are lagging for example Dungeon Hunter 4, Need for speed Most Wanted or other games by Gameloft.. Like Wild Blood etc...

If I root my phone and after that just download that setcpu application and set CPU frequeny to 1GHz will be my games lag-free? I wont do anything else I will just root my phone and download that application and set CPU frequency.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mr Hofs:
The hox goes to 1500 mhz not just a 1000 .... But when all 4 cores are enabled they go up to max 1300 if i recall this right. To get real lag free you can install a custom kernel that allows unlocking the 4 cores to 1500 mhz at the same time.

There are even kernels that go up to 1700 mhz
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Rageweawer:
Well I bough that phone because it was labeled as Most powerfull machine in 2012. It cost me 650 dollar and I though I will run every game on highest setting with lag-free experience .. and whoaa I cant play everygame and almost every third game is lagging on my HOX. I will buy iPhone as next phone really. This is ridicilous.

When its that strong why my HOX cant run these games without lag?

I saw a lot of videos of HOX running GTA Vice city on full graphic without lags and I cant even run it on minimal without frame drops. Why HTC dont include firmware to fix this? Its not in hardware its not in game its about HTC firmware.

Im quite noob in these kernels roms etc.. I dont want to break my phone it was quite expensive for me. I also want to update from oficial HTC server to prevent bricking my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] treebill:
I think its more about the games being unoptimized for the t3 rather than the t3 itself.

Shadowzone used to be one of the games that lagged badly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] VyncentZurika:

From what it says in official thread I reckon it simply tweaks a couple of parameters. It might speed things up in the factory rom, but otherwise I wouldn't install it in a custom rom since it might conflict with the already implemented tweaks.

:thumbup::thumbup: Exaxtly what I was looking for. Now I can go back to Rootbox, before stock touchwiz was the only rom that allowed me to disable proximity sensor during calls. Aosp roms always would leave it on, and cause the screen to get stuck off until the other person hung up, or I somehow finagled to unlock the screen long enough to hang up. Thank you for this, you are awesome, Lol.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeep447:
Hey I've got a question because I'm not sure if this is just me or if anyone has had this but whenever I have screen on set for 2 swipe, sometimes it feels like it actually takes 3 swipes to get it on. Sometimes when I do the 2 swipes the screen doesn't turn on so I do a third swipe, and that makes the screen come on but then it turns off again right away? Is there some sort of delay that I should adjust or is it all just in my head? Lol. I seriously love this app either way though and I was happy to donate because this app instantly covered every single problem that all of the similar apps had that I've tried.

ok Thx found it.

Other Question: How can I make backup from kernel, uboot, recovery, cache,..?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
It is not possible, since MTK has no dedicated individual partitions for boot (kernel) and recovery. They are part of one big memory block that contains some other stuff. CWM nor TWRP can't handle such memory layouts.

However, cache can be backed up.

If you need full backup of stock ROM I recommend using SP Flash Tool to read back memory blocks and store them in bin files one by one.

You have to define the blocks to be read back by specifying their start address and length.

Save changes

2) Put zip on SD or to interanl storage

THL W8+ bricked

Hello everyone..

I got an issue to solve with the THL W8+ (16GB).

I went through a different forum, but there we went out of ideas, so let´s challenge the XDA´s.

The problem started with trying to flash to custom CWMR to the phone. The first problems were with the SP Flash tool as the build ThL_W8.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589V1.0.7_20130625 didn´t work good with the version of the SPFT. There were error messages number 8038. So the newest version of SPFT was downloaded. But there we did got an error message number 1022 S_UNSUPPORTED_VER_OF_DA. In both cases we tried to flash through the Download button. So after we tried to flash it via Write memory. It was done.. a Green circle telling that it went ok. But the phone didn´t start at all. So now it is bricked.

I was adviced to flash the preloader as it might be corrupt and I was sent a img by a guy on the forum and tried it again via Write memory. Again it went ok to a green circle in SPFT. (it didn´t help.. still bricked)

Then I chose a stock ROM ThL_W8.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589V1.0.5_20130517-flashtool. When trying to do the procerude via the download button an error came out S_F_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032). So I tried to make it step by step via the Write to memory function. I succesfuly flashed PRELOADER, UBOOT, BOOTIMG and RECOVERY from the Stock ROM. When I came to the ANDROID it started to upload and it stopped at 2% with an error BROM ERROR: S_DA_SDMMC_READ_FAILED (3148).

The same error came when I tried to flash CACHE.. there it stopped at 83%...

Does anybody have any solution???

and can anybody provide me the complete stock ROM ThL_W8.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589V1.0.6_20130606 to use in SP Flash Tools with a scatter file?

Or the one that came with this phone...

Thank you very much for any advices and for any help

It worked!!!!! The phone is not a brick anymore!

I was sucessful with the GravityMod 2 also..!! (from the same page)

Unfortunately didn´t solve the thing, that I can´t reach 3G on the phone. And it should work, because I have 2 phones now at home.. one is with 3G without problem and one gets only 2G. Looks like it will not be a firmware problem.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] C3C076:
Well, if you are already rooted there's another way how ton install cwm recovery.

1) get terminal emulator from play store

2) copy cwm recovery.img to sdcard

3) run terminal emulator app and execute commands

$ su (allow root access for terminal emulator when asked)
# dd if=/storage/sdcard1/recovery.img of=/dev/recovery

That's it. Turn off phone and turn it on while holding Volume+. Should boot into recovery.

If that doesn;t work, get ADB and use "adb.exe reboot recovery" while phone is turned on.

You must have USB debugging in development options for this to work.
