[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mr_yellow:
When you say I shouldn't take an OTA update after unlocking the bootloader, why is that?

Let's say I unlock the bootloader, but keep the stock rogers ROM and OTA update it. These are just OS updates right? they shouldn't touch the bootloader or do they?

Also, if the Rogers Bootloader is not locked down, then do I even need to unlock it? or do you guys mean it's unlockABLE and still needs to be unlocked?

Does rooting also make a device not OTA'able?

Finally, how are the bootloaders tied to the FW version and to the OS version? Coming from an iPhone, there was the baseband/Radio FW and OS versions, and sometimes a specific hardware version, but that's it. what's the heirarchy for the bootloader and the FW, and the OS?

finally, if there's a good resource that answers a lot of these "android rom 101" questions, please send along a link. I know you guys are busy!

Thanks!

Thanks venomtester, I was just on those pages when I went to check for your reply.. =)

For a general question to the Rogers HOX folks...

just wanted to confirm the following workflow:

1) unlock my rogers HOX with htcdev unlock process

2) get root by running superboot r2

2) run facepalm to s-off my HOX

4) pick a ROM and flash!

That sound about right? I'm not missing anything obvious? I'm not entirely sure if the tools like superboot r2 and facepalm have been superceded by other tools. Especially with all the AT&T specific processes...

This certainly is a few more steps than I'm used to from my Windows Mobile days... =)

Thanks again,
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Step 2 should be flash TWRP 2.3.x.x no need for superboot r2?... not sure what that is.

And you'll need to flash a rooted rom before S-OFF or let TWRP root your rom if your hboot is under 2.14

MODS - feel free to move this thread at your discretion, but it seemed most appropriate here.

From what I understand, the GBA SIM allows T-Mobile more control? I don't know enough about this to understand, but I know that with MC6 on my SGS II, wifi caling won't work with my older SIM. Data and calls work fine though.

Would the GBA SIM allow them to stop us from wifi tethering for free? Since wifi calling doesn't work in CM10.1 anyway, I'm a little hesitant to update to the newer SIM which gives the network a benefit and no discernible advantage for me.

[Xperia 2012 & 2013] PS3 Dualshock Controller support for stock rom| From Tablet Z

== Information ==

Hello everyone,

I just ported the support for the official PS3 controller support from Sony Xperia Tablet Z :)

I have tried it on my Xperia Z, but I think it should work for you guys on ICS 4.0.4 too ;)

I don't have a PS3 controller, but the app starts, so I suppose it works, let me know if it doesn't and please try to give me a logcat to debug.

== Download ==

PS3 controller support: Mediafire

== Extra ==

If you like my work consider buying me a drink

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Always remember: NEVER PERFORM OFFICIAL CARRIER UPDATES! That is all. As for your question, it seems like it is bricked. Can you even boot into bootloader? What was your battery on? Also, were you rooted, s-off, unlocked BL? Need a bit more details. If not, you may need to send your phone to be JTAG. People all over the forums, suggest a website, that will do it for $60. Which is best compared to sending it to HTC or AT&T
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
He said the phone is completely stock. There is the unlikely event of official updates bricking phones. Its their update that bricked it, so the carrier or HTC need to replace or repair the phone for you.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] netwizuk:
I want to get a vertical flip case for an S2. I have spent ages looking online and reading reviews. It would appear to be wishful thinking that I might find one that

- has a clasp or magnet to keep it shut

- has a hole for the charger, so you can charge it with the case closed

just finding a case that meets these requirements seems to be impossible. How hard can it be? Just in case anyone can come up with a suggestion, the following would also be good, based on reading reviews

- clasp does not block headphone socket

- easy to get to buttons

- does not add significant bulk

- doesn't take a crowbar to open if the phone is ringing

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
Everything you needed to root is in here. If you were on ics you were to install usb drivers, Then using odin flash ClockwordMod, then flash superuser. If you were on ics and used odin to flash the gingerbread version you will be stuck at the Samsung logo. I'm guessing that you were on ics and this is what happen. Now to fix it I'm unsure if your to revert back to stock first, then go thru the process again using the correct software. Or if you can just flash those to fix it. My recommendation would be to revert back to stock.

Guys, is there anyway i can do to make my galaxy nexus faster or hoe to clean up more RAM By using default or old way from the device itself?

Cause i feel im not install lots of app and not running lot of them but its a lil bit annoying cause my phone run a lil bit heavy than usual even I've restart the phone already.

Please need your advance suggestion n guide. So far what ive done is close the app one by one and i notice there is no galaxy nexus. Firmware app that can kill all apps simultaneously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Don't interfere in androids multitasking. Closing apps that were intended to run in the background is only going to slow your system down overall.

Your best bet is to either make the switch to a more streamlined custom ROM or consider starting fresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
That's not the way Android works- it seems that you have your phone confused with a Windows PC. Killing processes to free up ram is counterintuitive and serves to slow the device down. Free ram is wasted ram in this case.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] E66666666:
You might consider switching back to 4.1.2. As far as i have heard all Galaxy Nexus models suffer from poor memory management in de 4.2.x Android versions, often leaving with less than 50mb of free RAM.

How to downgrade
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n0ve:
You should just factory reset and let the phone manage ram how its meant to. Having more free ram may cause a placebo effect but were not talking about windows here...used ram properly is more effecient than unused wasted RAM.

If you want to downgrade search for factory images.

Hi,

I upgraded my XDA2 to the new o2 rom and everything went fine with no problems. I've been using the phone for a couple days with no issues.

I've just had the phone charging in the USB cradle for a couple hours and noticed the led that is usually gree/orange had gone red with the screen blank. soft/hard reset does nothin nor does removing the battery or sim card. If I place the phone back in the cradle then all that happens is the led going red. I'm currently waiting for the backup battery to discharge and will put the battery back in...

Anybody know whats going on and anything I can try? Or does it look like phone is dead and back to O2?

I haven't had much time to play around with my phone since cm 9.1.0 stable and have been out of it for a while.

I would like to confirm a couple of things about upgrading to the latest 10.1 nightly.

I currently have CWM 5.5.0.4 loaded. What is the procedure to update to the latest CWM Touch? Is the procedure the same as installing it on an unmodified phone?

Is my checklist for upgrading cm9.1.0 to the latest 10.1 nightly accurate?:

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM10.1 zip from SDCard

- Flash GApps zip from SDCard

- Reboot

- Wipe data of clock app

- Reset everything under Settings -> Date & Time otherwise editing alarms might cause FCs

Do let me know if I'm missing any steps.

just flash the recovery via Odin or recovery.

btw wifi is't broken on this tablet sleep is interfearing with wifi to much triggering when it should't i'm sure tough batery will remain this good if they fixed this properly.
