[HTC One SV] peteypub:
S-OFF not Rooted

Here is a snapshot of my bootloader

I just got HTC Desire 510. Not the best phone, but it was half off, so for $50 i'll take it.

Worst part is, that phone has NO flash, and the camera has no focus, and it SUCKS in dark areas... (the snapshot was taken with HTC Desire 510)

So for now I will be playing with my HTC one SV. First on the agenda, I'm running STOCK

RUU with a previous version of Android on it. Then if everything works fine I will be rooting, and flashing custom ROMS.

If anyone has any files, or any suggestions as to WHAT I can try with the phone let me know.

I'm definitely interested in a way to repartition the phone's memory. I want to utilize my 16GB micro SD as phone storage. It seemed like I always ran out of App Space, even though my SD card was half empty...

So here we go, the journey starts...:laugh::cool:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
I need a bit of advice on what to buy. I'm currently on AT&T contract with my old iPhone 5, but want to buy the One. I have a few options:

1. Craigslist seller #1 ($500)- It's a 32GB Global Unlocked version. However, they said that it will work with AT&T but it will only be HSPA + not LTE. Is this true?? He ahd it on AT&T but couldnt get LTE. I checked the HTC website and the 32GB Global Unlocked version did have one compatible band (700MHz) with AT&T's LTE, so I can't see why it wouldnt work. What do you guys think?

2. Craigslist seller #2 ($500)- She has a 32GB T-Mobile version that she got as a gift at a HTC event. It has never been activated. We tried calling TMO last night to get it unlocked, but they were clueless. I did find that I could get it unlocked for around $25 from a site online. If we do this, will it work on AT&T LTE? Any way to remove the TMO bloatware and crap from it?

3. Buy the phone direct from AT&T outright ($600). It's guaranteed to work with their LTE, but would come with the bloatware. It's more than the craigslist sellers, but at least I'd have the support of AT&T if anything ever went wrong with it (since I bought it from them). However, it's only like $30 less than the 64GB Developer edition

4. Buy direct from HTC (32GB global unlocked or Dev edition). This way guarantees me that I get the fastest updates (is that true for both or only the Dev edition) and no carrier bloatware, but I'd have to wait 2-4 weeks for the phone to arrive, and I'm impatient as hell. I know it's the smartest and best option, but I dont really feel like waiting.

If I can get #1 working on AT&T LTE, I think it's my best option, but I'm not sure if that will work. According to this XDA post, the Global Unlocked version should work with AT&T LTE, but the seller is telling me that it doesnt.

So what do you guys think? What's my best move & option here?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CheesyNutz:
Wrong section
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Sorry. Where should I have posted this?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
Buy it from AT&T. As you said, the support is worth the extra $$.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Grr, yeah that's what I was thinking. I guess it's the smarter option. Would probably be better to get the Dev edition for $50 more and a few weeks of waiting. I want to make sure I get software updates as fast as possible. I'm still stumped.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Any thoughts on option #1? Seems strange that it would have one of the correct AT&T LTE bands, but not work on AT&T. Maybe a different APN setting? I dunno. That seems like the best option, provided I can get it to work on AT&T.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] beforedenied:
You're on a development forum.. remember that.

It all comes down to this: are you happy with HSPA+ Speeds? If so, save $100 and get the unlocked version. If you want LTE, get the phone direct from AT&T. You will not get LTE speeds from any One except the AT&T model, this is proven by numerous accounts of people doing reviews on YouTube using the unlocked on AT&T.

Now, if you decide to get the AT&T, first thing to understand is you're on a developement forum.. how many people here (all of which are on AT&T still have their bloatware installed? Almost no one. I have One, and the first thing I did was unlock bootloader, root, flash a stock ROM (TrickDroid) which comes with many benificial features, including NO bloat, and fixes for bugs in HTC stock firmware.

Trust me, you're going to want to unlock, root and flash a custom ROM.

As for updates, the people that will get the updates first, before anyone else, is us. Because we are on a developement forum. People will start cooking up updates before HTC even released anything. And once AT&T or HTC starts rolling out the updates, we, XDAers will definitely know about it. And the ROMS will start getting updates.

So go for the LTE version, and know, you'll be bloat free, speeedy and the first to hear about any updates. :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Haha yeah, I purposefully came to a dev forum. You guys know more about this **** than anyone. Since I'm brand new to Android, I dont really know much about rooting, Roms etc. I hope it's easy. I'm reasonably technical, but not a dev or engineer. Can you point me to the beginner's guide to rooting and flashing roms? :)

Also, I heard conflicting reports about the Dev Unlocked phone direct from HTC working on AT&T LTE, so I dont know what to believe anymore. I guess the AT&T version is the best bet.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] beforedenied:
Alright here's how it works. Once you get to the AT&T HTC One section, that's the start. From there you see catigories. General is mostly for stories and such, that's why this thread should be in Q and A. Then there's stuff like themes and apps section, and accessories (self explanitory) then the good stuff. Origional Development is developement that has been done SPECIFICALLY for the AT&T variant of the One. The Developement section can be ports of other phones or other variants. So, in the Developement section, we find this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2245776

[XMOD] MoDaCo Toolkit (with HTC One specific mods)

That is a guide to unlocking bootloader, rooting and flashing.

Do you have a PC? If so things are a little simpler if you ask me.

Hope that helps, and I'm glad someone made a noob friendly guide because I had to do it all manually before they made it. Haha
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Awesome thanks! I have a Mac, but have Win8 installed via Parallels, so I think I should be good. Thank you so much for your help!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] beforedenied:
Actually, bad idea a bit. You're going to want hardware specific drivers installed and if I remember, parallel and drivers can be weird. I would try to figure out the OS X way about things. It can be hard for even a windows computer to get the drivers installed correctly so good luck with a virtual OS. ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Well crap. Thanks for poopin on my idea. I'll find an old ThinkPad at the office and borrow it for a bit. But even then, how hard is it for a windows comp to get the drivers installed??
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] beforedenied:
Not hard, just don't download the HTC Sync from the HTC website, instead install this:

http://androiddrivers.net/android-drivers/htc-one-drivers/

Then the root tool thing should do the rest, I don't really know because I didn't use it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Awesome, many thanks!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] beforedenied:
No problem man, I remember getting into it, hard when people get annoyed when you're new. Haha I remember it well. People in the root tool thread were joking about having to pull their old laptops out of the closet too. Haha
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
I wrote a complete tutorial for unlocking the bootloader and rooting on a mac.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] charleswesde:
Just to consign, if you want it to work on att lte it has to be an att branded One. Also, avoid 2nd hand att devices unless you know the individual personally. If you purchase a device then they call it in lost/ stolen, it will be added to our blocklist and it cannot be used on our network.

Optimus G
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Nope

The Unlocked regular and Dev editions sold directly by HTC work on AT&T LTE.

I agree about buying second hand though, it can be risky
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] beforedenied:
Good stuff gunny, didn't realise it was essentially the same steps for Mac.

But for a begginer, understanding some of that can be confusing. It's a good learning experience though. Who knows, I'd say barrow the windows. Lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
steps are the same. just no pesky windows drivers to mess with. fastboot and adb just work :D
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] charleswesde:
I stand corrected, HTC is breaking all the rules, I'm not aware of any other major manufacturer that sells an unlocked device that will pick up att lte (aside from Apple, but they make their own rules). And thanks for the prompt correction, nothing worse than misinformation.

Optimus G
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
I was shocked too. It's such a radical change. The Verge even wrote about it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] charleswesde:
I'll have to check that article. Tbh I didn't think att would allow it, now I'm wondering why others hadn't already done it. Surely if htc can get away with it Samsung can,

Optimus G
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Rock on, thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
So you can confirm that the Unlocked One direct from HTC will work on AT&T LTE? I wonder why the guy who wants to sell it to me said it wouldnt work for him?:confused:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
I can confirm that it has been confirmed by the folks at the verge. I don't have one myself
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Thanks. Just read the article on the verge. So strange then that this guy from Craigslist is telling me he has the unlocked version from HTC and can't get LTE on AT&T with it. Unless he has to change the ROM or APN settings and didnt know about it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
Honestly man, I wouldn't even consider buying a phone off craigslist just to save $100. The sad truth is, as nice as phones are nowadays, there is a high chance that you will have an issue with it at some point in the future. If you buy from craigslist and you have an issue, you're SOL. Just get it from AT&T and have some peace of mind. Not sure about the bands and what will or will not work on AT&T.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] diggity:
Yeah, that's the smart choice. I just hate giving any more money to AT&T than I already do haha.

If I can flash a new ROM on there to get around AT&T bloatware, and still be able to get HTC software updates in a timely manner, I think buying direct from AT&T is the best choice.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] beforedenied:
Like I said, you'll get the updates as soon as they're out if you're in the forums, maybe even before. So don't worry about that. All bloatware is pretty much auto removed in ROMS. I don't even have that Kid Mode thing on here. Lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mang0:
I would most definitely steer clear of Craigslist. There's already a thread over in the international forum where someone bought a phone from some random person on classifieds, activated it for a week, and then had it reported lost/stolen. And if you bring the phone home and it doesn't work or has some problem that you didn't notice right away, you're generally SOL.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
Well not entirely true..

You can protect yourself by meeting at the carrier store and making sure all is a-ok before paying the seller. If the seller does not want to meet at the store then it's a serious red flag.

The carriers will still warranty the phone even if you purchased it off Craigslist. I have purchased numerous phones off Craigslist and have never once had a problem with the purchase itself or with warranty claims..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] charleswesde:
Good advice. If you meet at a COR store and have the device removed from the original purchasers account and added to yours at the time of transaction you should be fine, just be sure the device is removed from their account, otherwise it can be claimed lost/stolen at any point by the original owner, even if its active on your account and you'd be SOL. A COR store could also place a test sim in the device to verify all services work as they should and run the imei to make sure its not already flagged before any money changes hands.

Optimus G
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mang0:
It may come as a surprise to you, but there have actually been instances where people have taken them to carrier stores and found their phones had clean ESN but were still blacklisted and unable to be activated later on. Not to mention, just because the phone has been activated doesn't guarantee that later on the seller won't report it as lost/stolen as insurance claim or for whatever other reason. There's plenty of things that could go wrong. Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen to other people. ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
Why argue when you are WRONG?

You gave out BOGUS info and I corrected it...

Man XDA cracks me up!

As charleswesde said, simply make sure the carrier store rep REMOVES the IMEI from the sellers account..

Sheesh, does everyone on XDA always have to be right to the point they argue non-stop?

Another added to the ignore list.. LOL
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mang0:
I think it's even more funny when people comment on what others say without reading.

Since you obviously know everyone that's ever suffered from a blacklisted IMEI, I have nothing else to say to you. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DzRBenson:
Hi,

Had my i9305 rooted for the first time today with the latest version of Jellybam, however there is an issue with the internal memory calculation,

Using storage setting and es file launcher it says I'm using 9gb of 11gb however when I view the bar and check the files within I'm barely using 3gb.

Anyone able to help please, I don't know a huge deal, I've cleared delvik cache, play store cache, same issue

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joooe:
Happened to me yesterday, while rooting too. This happened because before rooting I copied my files to the internal memory. After rooting, my files were gone, but the free space didn't showed up.

I used Clockworkmod to format the internal sd and all is fine now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
If Jelly Bam is 4.2.2 and you were earlier on 4.1.2, then all your data will be in the internal SD card and the space shown will be of the /0 folder. This is due to the restructuring of the folders in the latest JB.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DzRBenson:
Thank you both,

Took the easy route, formated the SDcard using clockwork, and put Jelly bam back on for 4.2.2

Just booted now, and says 10.98gb available.

Will re-install apps and confirm its still good.

Thanks again

I have my old R800x that I would like to flash a rom to with no phone function, only wifi and bluetooth. I have tried repeatedly to delete item from the system/apps folder but I am obviously not doing something right as the phone will bootloop or have tons of FCs.

Does anyone know of a ROM I can use that does not have any of these functions but retains the Sony Framework for Xperia PLAY launcher, touchapds etc? O know there are at least one ROM with no phone function but its based off of CM, which is not what I am looking for.

Or if no ROM exists can someoen tell me what files to delete so that I wont get FCs and have a working ROM with no phone fucntion but bluetooth and wifi. Thank you

Apparently you didn't get the no LTE memo in the review. I will also add that with the phone's specs you're better off making the ROM for the quad-core version of the S4. Even if it is possible to port this to the S 4 or S3 how can the developers make it work on a 4G LTE network when the phone its based on don't run on that network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
It would be easier porting the quad core Galaxy S3 ROM over to this phone than porting the Oppo's ROM onto this phone. And porting the quad core S3 is hard as f***. That's why a lot of devs aren't doing that at all.

can any developer give a solution?

i m not a developer but somehow i managed to root my s5..messed with my recovery though...lol
[Karbonn Titanium S5 Questions & Answers] michael.the.don:
how did you do it?

describe please!
[Karbonn Titanium S5 Questions & Answers] kunal22:
frst i tried many scripts and roots and now i cnt even soft reset my phone...

bt i didn't give up

i installed cwm on s1 and flashed superuser 3.1.3.zip

thn installed the same cwm in s5..cwm was showing green lines due to the resolution difference i guess..so wt i did was opened cwm in both s1 and s5..saw the option to install zip from sd card in s1 and navigated to same option in s5 (if it was at no. 2 in s1, i pressed volume down in s5 so it navigated to no. 2 and pressed power button to confirm it)

thn i made sure tht the zip file was in the root folder of both sd cards and was on last number alphabetically so i flashed it on both phones respectively..jst tried my luck and i got my phone rooted...

IF I WAS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN IT..JUST REPLY HERE ABOUT WHAT U DIN'T GET AND I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN AGAIN..

I DON'T KNOW IF IT CAN HARM YOUR PHONE IN ANY WAY AS IT IS NOT MEANT FOR TITANIUM S5

I CAN PROVIDE LINKS TO S1 ROOTING TUTORIAL IF U NEED..

AND I GUESS U JUST NEED ANOTHER PHONE WITH CWM IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE S1...
[Karbonn Titanium S5 Questions & Answers] michael.the.don:
i got what u said n thanks.but the point is that cwm of s1 is different then s5.that is y the recovery is screwed up.i thought of this method but i dnt want to screw the stock recovery.coz if we need cwm for our phone then we have to have the stock recovery.but i cannot make a recovery.img without root.so i am in a fix. if you can provide me with the stock recovery i can build the cwm for this phone.and the main difference is that s1 has msm8225q processor but s5 has a msm8625q.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

and one more question. do you knw what is the original brand that produced titanium s5? i mean s1 is cherry mobile flame 2.0. so s5 should have a counterpart. if you knw please let me know
[Karbonn Titanium S5 Questions & Answers] kunal22:

also i used shuame(chinese sw for rooting) on s5 and got last two options translated to chinese language in *#36# menu..and now when i try to soft reset my fone stucks on karbonn s5 logo l..i hv to pull out the battery thn restart, no restore..any solutions???
[Karbonn Titanium S5 Questions & Answers] michael.the.don:
sorry! untill you have the stock rom.you are stuck. and even if you have a stock rom we need cwm to flash it. without cwm there is no hope. and moreover its not a mediatek device so on-board flashing tool is unknown!.

i dont think any dev is on this phone yet. coz s1 has created more hype then s5. moreover the processor s1 uses has been used before whereas our one is brand new. i cant get a single matching phone untill now. i m on vacation so cant get on my system.

if someone finds a rooting solution, i am ready to compile CM
