rumRunner HTC One

I would post this under the RumRunner thread, but I need at least X number of posts to reply to a development thread...

Here is my problem: When I run rumRunner, all the tests work perfectly fine (see screenshot: edit:apparently I also can't post pictures or links, so I pasted it in plain text), but instead of proceeding to S-OFF my HTC One, the only option it gives me is: Press Enter to Exit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

One more thing

Thanks. I found the ROM I would like to install. Now before I install it, I have one more thing I need to know. My phone originated from MetroPCS, but they unlocked it before shipping it. If I install the custom ROM on it, will the unlock persist, or will the device be relocked?

Sorry, I cannot post in the developer forum yet.

So I have an HTC Evo 4G LTE and it needs a bit of a performance boost. I've been reading up and decided I want to root my phone using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1690919

Since I can't reply in the thread, here are some questions:

So I gotta back up my phone before i root and after every time I wanna flash a new ROM?

How am I suppose to 'clear' my Google Wallet settings?

I believe the order of what you're suppose to do is to unlock the bootloader, root and flash the ROM? If I'm missing anything, please let me know. I might also think of some more so bear with me :|

and then reboot..

from odin just select the pda tab and use a different a usb port.

it will work.

and post here the results.
[General Questions and Answers] mickeyasamoah:
Sorry pal. But it doesn't work that way. It's a hardware ristriction and cannot be altered by software. Reason why it won't connect is that the band your device searches for 3g on is different from the band your ISP has its 3g. So its never going to connect. It's just like the HTC desire HD.

As ur device specs states. It's not Quad band. Meaning it only works with a particular frequency. In other to connect 3g, find a different service provider who has its 3g on this band ( HSDPA 900 / 2100) there and then only u can connect 3g.

thanks mickey plz advise

as far as i can find this model is quadband model: huawei U8666e-51 are these specs incorrect? sorry i am a noobie to all this and getting quite frustrated with myself atm and the fella who sold it to me who assured me hes had it connected to 3g on optus in the city. thanx for the replies at least im starting to get somewhere now :)
[General Questions and Answers] StalwartVet:
I found a solution. I used Samsung Kies. It only works if you are able to boot your phone into download mode. Thank you anyways, you kept me looking for solutions so thanks ^_^

1. On the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4GLTE for Virgin Mobile you'll need to open the back and look underneath the battery you'll see some specs on the phone. If you write down the 14 digit

HEX

number and save it.

2. Then you need to put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode buy HOLDING the POWER+VOLUME DOWN

3. Look into Kies and you'll see a TOOLS tab, click on it and select "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization"

4. SPH-L300 is the model number for this particular phone.

5. It will then ask you for your IMEI(MEID). Use your HEX number here.

6. Click Ok on all other remaining prompts and wait until all the progress bars are finished.

7. When the process is done the phone should flash the appropriate providers logo and revert back to the SAMSUNG logo, after about 3 mins remove the battery and power on the phone.

8. Allow the phone to run through the motions and after about 10mins all should be right with the world.

Thank you to all for helping me understand my phone and what it can do. Its back up and running thanks to you guys. Thank you again.

Where did u get ur specs? But over gsm arena that's what it says.

But you could try this.

Go to your dailer an type

*#*#4636#*#*

A secret menu should pop up.

Select the 1st one which is phone information.

Scroll down to the part where u see set preferred network ....

Click the box and select wcdma and wait.

If it stays on wcdma then u would 3g connectivity but if it reverts back to gsm or wcdma preferred, then no 3g for u.

thanx for the help guys i think for some reason this huawei is on 850 (even though specs and telstra assure me its 900) and my optus sim is 900.

Very stressful. i appreciate the patience mickey thank you. ill be sending it back to the seller first thing monday. do you have any advice for my samsung gio? it wont stay tethered it shutsdown randomly but after installing greenpower it runs fine till after midnight then shuts down. greenpower is limited as its only free version so it stops working at midnight. i think it is something to do with samsungs power saving features as once i disabled these with greenpower i have not seen a shutdown during the day. the huawei was supposed to be a replacement as tether is my only source of internet at this stage. ive tried a couple custom roms but made no diff, giopro v1.2 primarily. the phone is not getting hot nor is it the wifi sleep settings as i have it cooled and set to never sleep. i cant find anymore info out there and thats why i was going to return it to samsung. is there something simple im overlooking? cleared cache, fdr etc.

No tutorials for SGS+ say that you need root. Neither does wiki or any other sources here. If my information is false, what can possibly happen if i try to flash it without root? I'm planning to flash it from the stock recovery
[General Questions and Answers] ADDICT.ANK:
Firstly download superuser.zip and cwm.zip.

And flash those via stock recovery.

It'll give u root access.

Coz u need cwm for wiping cache and dalvik cache.

So after cwm installation then proceed for custom rom installation.

The only thing possible for you is to re flash your phone using stock Rom. and if you have not created the backup then no one can do anything dear.

OR

spend a couple of bucks and get it restored from the outside professional guys.
[General Questions and Answers] immortalneo:
No one here or anywhere else can guarantee you complete safety. Playing with any phone always carries a small risk of messing it up. The only thing you can do is to be prepared for anything and everything!

Here's my method of being 99.99% safe while messing with my phone:

1. Read everything about what I am about to do TWICE!

This includes reading the first 20 and last 20 posts of that thread as well (to read about any issues other members faced).

2. Backup everything both on the device, and on a PC (on the cloud too at times).

Most importantly, EFS backup!

3. Check everything before attempting anything - battery charge, cables, sd card condition, broken files, working hardware buttons etc.

4. Follow the instructions carefully (searching whenever I feel confused) to the last word.
