[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekweezle:
if you knew someone who could root it for you, that would be easiest. maybe you could pay someone to root your phone? you know what we say, only smart people now how to get stuff for free or cheap. and in the realm of 'hacking" what we are definitely doing is value adding to what we have.

but if you learn how to do it, you could be that person helping others!

btw, funny thing about that link-that is the one I used. i found it a little intimidating at first(and looked extensively for an easier way that I never found) but now that I;ve rooted 3 phones, its fairly accurate. unfortunately you do have to go through the steps. there aren;t any shortcuts but it works. and the good thing is that if anything actually goes wrong in the process, atleast you should know where and why and how to fix.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insomniac_lemon:
You could try Unrevoked (just search it). I have NO idea if it will work with your phone, as that can depend on a number of things. I guess just try some research on that. It's not like a 1-click root on your phone, but sort of like doing all of the ADB stuff from the manual way for you. I can't recall what actual version I used, but I know it installed CWMR and gave me S-Off, so I'm pretty sure I ran Unrevoked3 and/or Unrevoked Forever. You should be able to just use Unrevoked3 if you just want root.

Sorry I can't do more than point you in the right direction.... to give you any idea how long ago it was.... I decided to root because the Incredible was not getting FroYo..... hehe....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musical_chairs:
FWIW, there was a version of Unrevoked that worked with certain versions of the Dinc's software (that's how I originally rooted my first Dinc), but recent OTA upgrades have made that method very unreliable. If you have HBOOT 1.07, there is no question that the best way to get root is using the guide, and yes, that guide the OP linked is a very good one. Follow it carefully and it will work, every time. You can even stop at step 3 and have a stock, rooted, s-on phone, without the complicated downgrade which is required to get s-off. Which is what the OP wanted, I believe.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamekeeper408:
LOL @ legible ENGLISH :good: Sometimes I feel the same way.

P.S. Broke out my old HTC INCRED 2. Think I may try rooting it. Got nothing to loose.:D

Keep the threads alive; -)
[Nexus 10 General] Hahahalalala:
If so, did your tablet replace those items and is your tablet for family use?

What do you use it for then? haha

Or do you guys only have the nexus 10 tablet and nothing else?

This is just for curiosuity.

My grandma is old and uses her Ipad (no hate please) for computer uses. Shes not techie at all, so an iPad is perfect for her.

I use my tablet for school and replaced my netbook. I was surprised to find my tablet is faster then my netbook. And I still have a PC for computer use and reports.
[Nexus 10 General] lKBZl:
I used to have a laptop and a PC, and now I have a tablet and a PC. I don't need my laptop anymore :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
I have a desktop; still use it primarily for the most part. The N10 is nice for when I do anything outside of the room of my desktop :p
[Nexus 10 General] ljg600:
I have a TF700- which provides much of the versatility of an Android netbook- with the full tablet experience. I also like the ability- for example- to go into a coffee shop or at home- and either- sit at at table and use a mouse, keyboard- internal/external storage, USB Ethernet, etc., or sit on a couch and browse/type things with the attached keyboard...Occasionally, when WiFi is bad- I use a Bluetooth connection to my smartphone (PDANet/Foxfi) for tablet internet connectivity. I am probably spoiled :)

The TF700 has largely replaced the home laptop except to do things like web development or tasks were I need a larger screen or applications that can't run under Android. I also have an older desktop- which is seldom used at all.
[Nexus 10 General] 3DSammy:
I have a desktop, used as a PVR/Media NAS server attached to a HDTV, a laptop and of course the N10. Since I started using the N10 for media consumption the laptop is gathering dust. I am not sure what I will do with the laptop over time. I still need it to program my Universal Remote with Win8. Just yesterday I fired up the dual boot laptop and applied software updates to Win8 and Ubuntu 13.04 then promptly turned it off and put it away.

I still do most writing, video editing and all software development on the desktop as the N10 is not well suited or powerful enough for those purposes. As my laptop was primarily used for media consumption the N10 was a natural replacement mainly due to the superior screen and battery life. I also find the N10 to be more convient to use, faster to start up, much more portable and easier to hold anywhere I want to use it (couch, kitchen, bedroom, ... etc).

I'm just now getting to the point where I want to find unique uses for the N10 that the laptop or desktop could not fulfill. I am not a games player so none of my computers are used for that purpose.
[Nexus 10 General] parakalien:
I use my n10 for the majority of my computing. I have a Galaxy s3 that I use mostly outside the home (although I do bring the n10 to friends houses etc).

I have a laptop that never sees use and an extremely high end desktop that I use for gaming and video editing.

There is no way the n10 could replace the desktop, and no way the desktop could replace the n10. But it has completely replaced my laptop. :D
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
I've got several other devices I consider my 'computers'

Kyocera Rise (which I wish I DID NOT HAVE)

Asus n56v notebook (quad-core intel i7, 2.3GHz, 8GB RAM, 2GB nVidia GT630M)

Lenovo L530 (work computer, terrible crap)

Desktop computer (Asus x58 motherboard, 3.06GHz Intel i7 quad-core, 12GB RAM, 2GB nVidia GT560 Superclocked)

Use of personal laptop:

-Gaming on the go

-Work

-Video editing on the go

-ADB and such on the go

-Netflix when the N10 is out for repair (which has been about 70% of the time I've owned it)

-Kitchen when the N10 is out

Use of desktop:

-Gaming

-Work

-Video editing and recording

-ADB

-Netflix (its hooked up to 2 monitors in my room, or one 42" TV in the den)

-Showing off

-Transcoding

-Media and music

Work laptop:

-MS Office
[Nexus 10 General] Sib85:
i used to own a desktop until i purchased my n10 few months ago :D

now my primary usage mainly on media entertainment, games and surfing the net

Sent from my N10
[Nexus 10 General] Gausselimination:
I can't remember the last time I opened my laptop. N10 works for pretty much everything.
[Nexus 10 General] ianlunatech:
I mostly use my n10 for caustic, gstomper, web browsing, imgur, some gaming and ebook reading. Got a HP laptop used as a media centre to stream music and films to the n10 and connected to the big TV downstairs. Use a 12gb RAM Sony vaio for ableton and as an extra machine. Also got an Asus tf101 with about 100gb films and music for while we are away from home.

Bit of overkill I know but they do all get used. Could probably get rid of some but can't part with the stuff!
[Nexus 10 General] bigmatty:
Got them all, N10 /tablet is it's own category.

Only change - lots more web surfing via Android instead of via laptop.
[Nexus 10 General] Ipmann11:
Got a desktop but only use it if I have to do reports. Use my nexus 10 mostly for everything I do like emailing, media consumption, etc.
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
I wish I could use my N10 primarily... don't think it can replace my desktop for gaming though. Aside from that however, everything else I do on my desktop can be done on the N10.

Heck, even typing this message could've been done on my N10 :p
[Nexus 10 General] kylec:
I have a few other devices.

Nexus 10 mainly for when I don't want to use a tablet or I'm just reading a book, or for night shift at work. My personal device, gf has her own iPad which I use as well for apps that aren't available on android.

Acer iconia a500 which I used prior to the Nexus. Still use it from time to time if the nexus is dead or for nostalgic purposes haha.

Netbook for if I want a portable laptop for basic word processing (though I've been using it less and less since getting the Nexus 10)

Ultrabook for when I want or need a larger screen but not doing anything particularly demanding and still want to be portable

Another more powerful but heavier laptop for when I have more intensive tasks and am out and about (usually gaming at a friends house)

A desktop for when I'm at home and doing heavier gaming and more intensive or longer term tasks (still my primary device)
[Nexus 10 General] ianlunatech:
I don't feel as bad now :p
[Nexus 10 General] jimh425:
I just recently bought a Asus x202e-i3 and added a ssd, so now it is very fast. I find it more usable than my netbook, and half the weight with double the battery life of my 3 year old i3. Its 1366x768 which is the same as that 15.6 laptop. Bonus compared to the netbook is that it can run Ubuntu in Virtual Box just fine. I'm very close to dumping my netbook and 15.6. I also need Windows and Linux, so Android only is not an option.
[Nexus 10 General] Yarox:
I have a laptop, a desktop (dual monitors, projector), an N4 and an N10.

Laptop - Mainly use it at school (irregularly)

Desktop - Watching movies, school work

N4 - Phone, SMS, Music, e-mail, (news)

N10 - Browsing, games, personal assistant (calendar, google now, ...), news, e-mail, YouTube, Gallery

The N10 took over most of the work I used to do on my N4. Which means that I enjoy a 10" screen more often than the 4", and that my phone now has almost no other android apps apart from the ones listed above.
[Nexus 10 General] SilentGaia:
My Nexus 10 replaces a laptop during class since it's a lot lighter. I still prefer my laptop for gaming/normal use since my school is lame and doesn't have wifi in the dorms. :/
[Nexus 10 General] Carter0108:
I have a Desktop running Windows 8 since I find a tablet is great for taking out and about but around the house, something with a bit more power is needed. Seriously considering getting a Series 5 Chromebook since they're dirt cheap and would bridge the gap between desktop and tablet.
[Nexus 10 General] ExtraFluffyYo:
Nexus is my note taker/Web surfing during class

Macbook stays at home and is used for photo editing and most papers and projects.

Too lazy to carry my macbook around :silly:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterr986:
When i select reboot to recovery mode(using clockworkmod 5.0.2.0) it restarts into android(cynogen mod 10.1) !

When i select restart it goes into clockworkmod recovery mode 5.8.0.0 by default !

Note : i have 5.0.2.0 installed but it goes into 5.8.0.0 all the time ....

So when ever it goes to recovery mode i use adb and fastboot to flash the boot.img of cynogenmod 10.1

Please tell me how to fix this issue ...

Also I have SHIP S-ON RL ....

hboot is 2.00.0030

How i Fixed it :

1) went into fastboot as it was working ...

2)extracted the boot.img from the rom that i was trying to flash and ran fastboot flash boot boot.img

3) Then i did - " fastboot flash recovery cmwrecovery_file"

4) This helped !

From here on i have flashed many roms and of all of those that i tried only CynagonMod works properly :)

Thank you all for your help though ...

I'm wondering how you could install CWM without S-off your phone?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
With an unlocked bootloader...

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

How are you booting into recovery? perhaps the menu is changed and settings are incorrectly addressed. It might be a bug of the rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterr986:
How this happened !

Heres how it all went down ... I wanted to install Cynogenmod 10.1 so

1) went to Htc dev site and unlocked the bootloader.

2) I did not know about the S-OFF thing then so i did not do anything about it. and installed rom manager from play store. started it . did "something" and a window appeared ! i selected yes ! and ...... thats it i guess ...

3) I used the adb and fastboot to flash clockworkmod recovery 5.8.0.0. ( had no clue what that was back then)

4) Next i went into the recoverymode by pressing volume down button ... then i flashed new cynogenmod and gapps from zip in the recovery and after that it went into an infinite loop. It kept going into bootloader again and again.

This is when i started searching online and did every thing i couldd .... fastboot became my best tool.

i used fastboot to flash different versions of clockworkmod recovery but nothing fixed it ...

Intersting observation here is when i did the following

1) while device was in an bootloop it was booting into clockworkmod 5.8.0.0 all the time so

2) i used fastboot to flash different version of clockworkmod 5.1.x.x and still i boots into 5.8.0.0 after i hit the command "fastboot reboot"

3) some how i felt like going to hboot using the command "adb reboot bootloader" and then i selected selected recovery from there....then it took me to clockworkmod 5.1.x.x ... it was there the whole while ...

4) So i flashed cynogenmod from 5.1.x.x and still after a reboot it took me to the 5.8.0.0 recovery mode.... i did not understand that !!

5) Then i extracted the boot.img from cynogenmod 10.1 and flashed it using fastboot command on the computer.... Repeated the step 3 and BOOM it took me to cynogenmod 10.1 android operating system.

I installed rom manager and installed clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 ...

Even now if i restart it goes to 5.8.0.0 recovery ....

Due to lack of knowledge i dont know how to fix this issue ... Is there a way to remove that clockworkmod 5.8.0.0 ? I doesnt seem to get overwritten ...it seems to be in a location that cannot be touched (or a location where my rom is supposed to go, only it does not !)

Please help...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterr986:
Is there a way we can wipe the internal drive and install the entire thing from scratch like how we wipe a hard drive and install ubuntu again !

CURRENT SITUATION : When i select reboot into recovey using rom manager or rom toolbox or busybox its booting into cynogenmod !

But if i restart my phone normally it goes into clockworkmod 5.8.0.0 !

I have root access to the shell in the phone and all .... i have adb on my computer set up to open the shell and gain root access !

I cant find anything like /boot or grub.d (ubuntu) in the / directory of my phone !

Please solve this mystery !!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Yes. Wipe system, data and cache from recovery. Then flash a ROM.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterr986:
i did and it does not work ...

ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.8.0.0 comes up eventhough i flashed v5.0.2.0 from rom manager !!!!!!

Clean wipe and install is not helping ... v.5.8.0.0 is like a ghost ... cant get rid of it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indial:
Mine did something similar. Also looking for a solution.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Try flashing the image from fastboot instead of ROM Manager.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterr986:
you mean like this -

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery cm-10.1xxxxxxxxxxxx

fastboot flash recovery gappsxxxxxxx

fastboot reboot

....Is that right ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
After you have adb rebooted into the bootloader you need to navigate to fastboot with the volume buttons, then choose it with the power button. This puts the phone in fastboot mode. Then do the fastboot commands.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterr986:
Sir if you please dont mind can you tell me how i can wipe the device internal memory first ( as i want to get rid of the persistent v5.8.0.0 ) first with fastboot ? The commands i mean !

Also i downloaded the cm-10.1-20130322-UNOFFICIAL-ace.zip but i dont know how to get the .img version of it !

Thank you
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
If the recovery flashes properly it will completely overwrite the previous one. If it doesn't overwrite something went wrong in flashing. And I'm saying you should flash a recovery image, not a ROM image.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterr986:
If i understand you correctly ... you are asking me to flash a new cwm image ! and then install the new rom from the recovery !

I did that and it does not over ride the old cwm v5.8.0.0 !

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockworktouch-5.8.1.5-ace.img did not overwrite !!

I just did it and it still boots into CWM v5.8.0.0 ... how is it still on there ? i thought i wiped the memory !!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Wiping system, data, and cache does not wipe the recovery. It only wipes the ROM partition. Sorry, I don't know how to solve your problem. What an odd error.

EDIT: your volume buttons work, right?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterr986:
No my volume button does not work to get into bootloader ... but they work for reducing the volume n all when android is running `...

[General Questions and Answers] Azrael-09:
First of all, I was unsure of where to post this. I didnt want to post it in the Revo forum but if it can be moved to a more appropriate location, please feel free.

I received an LG Esteem (MS910) from an aquaintance. He told me that he received a text message with a a link or something and clicked on it, went to bed and when he woke up the phone wouldnt make calls.. I call BS. It had problems so I rooted and flashed Broken out esteem.

I then looked into settings under phone status and noticed that there was no "Phone number", "MIN" or "PRL".

View attachment 1914824

I took it to Metro to have them put on the PRL, MIN and MDN and they said they couldnt because it was in test mode.. (it was in this mode before i flashed) They took it out of test mode and attempted to port the PRL and got an error that basically said that it couldnt port the PRL.

I took it home and began tearing into QPST and CDMA Workshop in an attempt to manually add the PRL.

QPST:

View attachment 1914835

View attachment 1914836

QPST was showing that it wrote the PRL to the phone and then rebooted the phone for changes to take effect. Yet no effect.

CDMA Workshop:

View attachment 1914843

View attachment 1914844

CDMA Workshop was showing that everything worked and was accepted but after reboot the changes did not exist.

I also typed in ##626# for the manual MIN, MDN entering.. i input the MDN, MIN and SID...

The phone rebooted and no changes were made.

I am stumped at this point and if I cant come to a solution it would really help to at least know the cause of the problem.

If anyone could help me in the least I would be very appreciative. Anything will help.

Thank you.

Any advice?
[HTC EVO 3D] nathansuchy:
Hi I just had to get my evo 3d replaced due to a failure in my battery and worst nightmare it was rooted. I think I can lock it and flash the stock ruu. Are they going to charge me if it says relocked and has stock ruu. It was replaced do to a hardware issue, I don't know of my phone was replaced by warranty or insurance but I think it was insurance but if warranty will I be charged. Again replaced for hardware issue. If they charge me how much???

PS: I got my phone within 24 hours like VMUSA's insurance. How long does warranty take? How much would warranty charge me?

Also I'm freaking out so sorry for repeated things.
[HTC EVO 3D] ipagan10:
They will charge you max $35 and will run a diagnosis on the phone but if its a hardware issue and not a software issue, they wont even bother to check the bootloader. flash the stock ruu thou.
[HTC EVO 3D] nathansuchy:
I am going to flash stock ruu are you talking about HTC warranty?
[HTC EVO 3D] ipagan10:
Oh no I was talking about sprint warranty but its more or less the same I don't know how much they'll charge you thou but I think they wont charge you at all as its an internal hardware problem so it couldn't be your fault.
[HTC EVO 3D] nathansuchy:
Well I called Sprint(VirginMobile) so they probably did it through their warranty. It will be relocked and have the stock ruu so they will hopefully not notice or care :)
[HTC EVO 3D] nathansuchy:
Also VM told me rooting wont ban my insurance so I think I'll be fine :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ipagan10:
Ok I did a little digging and well as long as the phone isn't broken (dropped or water damage) they'll try to solve it regardless of the re-locked alert on the bootloader. They normally won't charge you.
[HTC EVO 3D] nathansuchy:
Ok thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Kippui:
You don't need to tell them what you do with your phone. Just give vague answers and send it away.
[HTC EVO 3D] nathansuchy:
That's what I did told them my phone would not charge. I'll be getting another new phone as my replacement was purple and I don't like purple...
[Nook Touch General] mbamberg:
I've done all the searching, downloading and tried about 4 ways to get a good root on my NST. Nothing seems to work the way I've seen with other devices. I've tried Nooter, Touch Nooter, Nook Manager, and a special SD image for TopHat (an app for Soaring!). Many of the processes seem to be at least 2 years old (I know, I'm a late adopter).

So the question is: What is the generally accepted process for Rooting a Nook, in the new world?
[Nook Touch General] Goggles2114:
I'd personally recommend NookManager. Used it on my 1.2.1 Glow and it worked like a freaking Charm. Plus there's a thing you can download to add into so after you root you go back a bit in the setup process and install google manager. Takes anywhere from a couple hours to a day but it'll recognize.
[Nook Touch General] hordarian:
NookManager works fine - I'm literally rooting my 1.2.1 NST at the moment with it.

It took a few tries to find something that would write the card correctly though - using the Nook itself or my Xperia Mini as an SD writer didn't work, I've had to dig out a MicroSD>SD adapter and this has worked like a charm.
[Nook Touch General] L_R_N:
I've used NookManager + dd + Debian laptop with integrated card-reader to root a Nook Simple Touch with 1.2.1.

I'd recommend obtaining a separate small microSD card, 512MB should be enough (that said, 512MB ones seem to have low Class, and i've read that cards with low Class values have problems) - my backup was ~300MB, plus ~60MB for NookManager itself. I haven't found a way to have more than one backup with NookManager, so you'll only need these ~360MB.

If your card is larger, then NM will give that space to the backup partition. AFAIU, it backs up system partitions, not /media, so backup size will stay low (i.e. it will not back up the whole 2GB internal flash).

And i've had problems resizing the primary NookManager partition on my 32GB card (gparted failed to resize it, and after that the partition was unusable), i'm going to try to fix this by formatting the partition myself, making it bootable, and copying the partition from NookManager.img into it, but that's a long shot.

Anyway, just use a separate small microSD card for NookManager, and a big one for running NST normally (as a storage space for apps and books).
