Hi to all

I was looking around the different forums, but I was not able to find the basics ... how to make a backup, how to upgrade (I have O2 ger 1.60.00 and would like to upgrade to the 1.60.52 or even try the special xda-developers rom (special edition) ...

Is there a brief (but also) complete expanation manual somewhere I was not able to find?

thank you

:P:P:P

ps.: it is really a great machine :) and this is a great forum, exactly the best for the best :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] gratefuled:
You can make a backup on a Storage Card or simply through ActiveSync-Tools-Backup/Restore.

If you upgrade you need to know a few things:

First of all I'm assuming you have an XDA II, with 1.60 O2 ROM. If you upgrade to a custom or hacked ROM you run the chance of a voided warranty with O2. You mention upgrading to O2's 1.60.52, which is within the "Brand ROM, and will not void your guarantee.

Regarding backups prior to ROM upgrades, I only backup my contacts and calendar, and email if you desire, but I do not perform a full backup. I have read that this can create problems when you try to reload a full backup that had an older ROM. I'm not sure, but I do not take the chance. Besides I have all my Programs, skins, dial pad skins and other stuff saved on my PC. After I do the upgrade I form a new partnership and automatically my contacts and calendar are loaded back on-no big deal. The time consuming part is reloading the applications, but it only takes an hour or two. Once again, no big deal.

Get the 1.60.52 ROM from O2 or this source or others, but make sure it is the manufacturers and not a hacked ROM.

Connect your device via USB, not serial.

The desktop or workstation you use to partner and upgrade your device should be XP operating system, or NT, 2000.

Make sure your PC (Desktop) has the screen saver and automatic power off set to "none". This is important.

Perform a hard reset (press power button and soft-reset at the same time.

Re-connect PPC and PC. Make sure you have a solid partnership. Guest is OK.

Simply open the ROM Upgrade and let it do its thing, loading ROM, ExtROM, and Radio Stack.

Do not interrupt anything, disconnect or anything else. Once again be patient.

I'm no Electronic or Computer Technician. All my training and use of any type of computing system is self-taught, trial and error. This doesn't mean recklessness, however. I have upgraded my device 3 times now, with the procedure outlined above, with no trouble. It has worked flawlessly.

The ROM Upgrade software does the work, not me. I just need to make sure that I have a good connection with my PPC and that I do not lose that connection while upgrading.

I hope this helps.

I'm sure there may be better ways of doing it, but this has been my experience and it works.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prajnacara:
Hoping someone can help out with solving a persistent CMUpdater download notification. I mentioned this in the CM main thread (here), but despite some helpful suggestions, no solution was found. Rather than hijacking that thread, thought I'd do a separate thread here.

The problem is this (kind of a summary from the above linked thread):

I've been using CM nighties for a long time now. Originally I downloaded from the "get.cm" site, moved onto phone through USB, and flashed either in ClockWork app or via recovery. About two months ago I started using the CMUpdater from System Settings --> About Phone --> Updates. Seemed just fine for a while. A couple of weeks ago I tried to download one of the nightlies, the usual notification down arrow thing showed up, but it never started the download. A bit like when the connection is not yet made, just the blue line flashing across, but no % download made. I tried to close the app, reboot, but the download notification arrow stills runs, with the blue line flashing. I even downloaded more recent nightlies, flashed them successfully, but after rebooting into the new nightly, the notification is still going. Have cleared the cache, force closed, deleted data for apps -- no fix. Deleted the CMUpdater folder -- no fix. Can't find the file in ES explorer either - as noted above, it doesn't actually start the download, just the sort of connect to download server part with the fast blue line racing across the screen (not the slow blue line with the % for progress). Removed the daily update checker to manual, and no go either. And all this with both Titanium and regular App Manager. Have also tried various backup type remedies, including a whole Nandroid backup and restore. It just keeps reappearing!

It isn't really causing much of a big problem, doesn't seem to be excessively draining the battery or anything, but obviously it shouldn't be doing this.

Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

Ok, I am new to this business of rooted phones, custom roms, and mods. I had someone root my phone mainly to help with battery life and to be able to use the wifi/tethering without T-Mob charging me extra or eating up my data plan every month. I have installed a 3rd party wifi app and it works fine but my data is still being eaten up. I have seen where people are saying the stock rom needs to be changed 1st. How do I do that? What is a custom rom and which 1 do I need, also how do I install it. I will be the 1st to admit this whole thing is foreign to me. I need help. Anyone willing to hold my hand and teach me?

I did have another question though. I did a bunch of searching and found a lot of stuff but none of them have helped me with my new problem. Here goes, I would like to use my phone as a wifi hotspot or tethered hotspot without it eating up my data so fast. I have seen that it is possible to do but like I said I can't get any of them to work right. They work ok but it is still chewing up my data. T-Mobile already charges me too much for data and I would like a work around I can use. Let me know if anyone can walk me through the steps. If you need more info from me just let me know...

T-Mobile has some of the cheapest data rates around.

Had a quick look at the Mugen power website - http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/htc/mugen-power-6000mah-battery-case-for-htc-one-x.html

They list that it is for both HTC one x as well as HTC One X+. So technically any ebay battery case which works would be fine...

i was almost buying it for my phone too, but it struck me that it might be a better idea to have a portable external battery - that's going to fit any other device too! Might not be the case for you :)
[HTC One X+] yourguitarist:
Both posts found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1965189&page=2

I assumed because if it didn't fit a pogo pin dock, then how would it fit a pogo pin case?

The external battery is a good idea, but I dont want to have to carry cables + a battery around for some extra juice. I found one on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/External-Portable-3500mAh-Battery-Charger/dp/B008HAU29E/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_1) and I think it should be here by tomorrow. If it works then I will post back.

THREAD CLOSED
[HTC EVO 3D] kriz225:
I just rooted my EVO 3D via HTC Dev method and then obtained S-OFF with the JuopunutBear "wire trick." I followed this guide by ramjet73 to do this. I then flashed the ENG 1.04 HBoot obtained from here using ramjet's instructions here.

I then proceeded to wipe all partitions (including cache and dalvik) and restore my CM v10.1 "Wild For the Night" backup from 4EXT which I'd made on a previous EVO 3D with the same exact config (had to send in for replacement, working on the new refurb now).

That threw me in a boot loop. So I said, ok fine, wiped everything again and did an advanced restore of just boot, system and data. Same thing. So I once again wiped everything and loaded a fresh install of the ROM from a .zip in my SD. Still loop booting.

Seeing as it is late and I am very tired I gave up and loaded the JBear 1.58 HBoot and restored a stock ICS ROM backup I had also made from my previous phone. This seems to be working fine.

Anyone got any ideas why I can't get Wild For the Night going with the ENG 1.04 HBoot? It worked before.... :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] ahmadalraii:
something similar happened to me sometime ago .. jbear hboot is the reason . downgrade ur hboot to 1.49.0007 u will find many ways to do that on the forum , but since u r soff its very easy less than 1 mega file PG86.. flash via bootloader ..u r done , this hboot has the least compatibility problem with all rom~kernel combo ..
[HTC EVO 3D] kriz225:
Just to clarify

I think you misunderstood my post. I was at the ENG 1.04 Hboot when I was having these issues. I know that the JBear Hboot doesn't work with JB ROMs.

When I had my phone at the ENG 1.04 Hboot and I restored my Wild For the Night backup, or even re-loaded the ROM, my phone got stuck in a loop boot. I had the same exact configuration (same unlock method, S-OFF, same hboot, same recovery) on my previous phone, the one I made the backup from, and it worked just fine.

Also, after running my phone for a bit on the stock ROM with the 1.58 JBear Hboot SU doesn't work, neither does my WiFi or 4G. This was all working before the root and worked fine on the phone I did the stock backup from before.... I'm at a loss here :(
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
Sounds like kernal issues

Are you sure you're wiping boot before flashing?
[HTC EVO 3D] kriz225:
Yeah, I'm using 4EXT and I've used the "Wipe All Partitions (except for SD)." I've also individually gone and used all the other wipe options (except for SD) including cache and dalvik just to be 200% sure it's wiping everything.

I agree, I've seen that happen before when the kernel isn't wiped properly but I don't see why it wouldn't be... Unless the S-OFF didn't work properly? It says I'm S-OFF though, and I was able to flash the hboots... :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] ahmadalraii:
you are right i did misunderstand you .. however u have already tried every thing just try this believe me it could work downgrade to hboot 1.49.0007 ..

if u need i will upload you the hboot if u didnt find it nut there are many ways in the forum..

and anyway its always better to be on this particular hboot as i mentioned before..

here is what i used i up;oad it for you

http://www.4shared.com/zip/qQzm0Rji/PG86IMG.html

i guess u know how to deal with it

by the way i just remembered something ... u use to use 4ext before with smart flash on , do u remember they asked u if u r Son and u said yes .. reflash 4ext and verify u r soff.. but still downgrade to hboot 1.49
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION]

Don't do this^^^^^^ or you might brick your phone.

I don't know why wild for the night is not working on eng hboot but I guess you messed up your wimax partition by restoring nandroid from previous backup of another 3d. So 4g is not working. Now to fix things just use a ruu without relocking. You will not lose soff. Then start over by flashing custom recovery/hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] kriz225:
You know, now that you say that that could be it... I did flash 4EXT when I was S-ON so I might've answered yes to that question. I'll run RUU like the poster above suggested and then reflash 4EXT as S-OFF and see if that helps.

Thanks for the assist guys, this is driving me nuts.
