[HTC One S] npiper05:
I think $200 is a good price. I bought mine in November for $300 off ebay with no issues. I think it all depends on preference. Personally, I like HTC Sense. I think is like the 4th HTC I've owned, and have liked them all. The camera on this phone is solid, one of the few reasons I switched from my Galaxy Nexus. The size is nice, not too big, not too small. If you are a T-Mobile user, we just got the 4.1.1 JB update. I'm running a version by Mkinney88 that runs smooth on my phone, is she's planning to root. For being such a slim phone, battery life isn't too bad. I can usually get through a full day with around 3 hours screen time. Accessories are somewhat limited, but I found a few cases I like.

Sorry to ramble a bit, but has you can see, I like it. I do sometimes switch to my Galaxy Nexus, but always end up coming back to the One S.

Good luck!

[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
VZW is sending me a refurb to replace a dead Rezound. :(

I have PH98IMG_ICS_3.14.605.12-shipped-rom.zip

for the RUU, OTA-ICS-Plus-DTa2sd-v.1.2.zip for the

rom, recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img for recovery and

ControlBear_Release_0.5_Vigor_ICS_2.14.605.5_Win

for the s-off script.

I've got a nandroid backup and complete backup of

the internal /sdcard and external microsd card

including a TiBu of everything in both flashable

and database formats with a flashable TiBu

apk. :angel:

I know I have to

unlock boot loader

flash a recovery

install root

then run the s-off script and do the wire trick when prompted,

did I miss any steps? :confused:

After that I reflash the recovery and restore

the amonra backup, recopy the backup of

internal /sdcard and hopefully be back

where I was when the nandroid &

/sdcard backup was done?

I'd like to end up with s-off, Amonra recovery and

the custom ICS ROM I was on at last nandroid.

Do I need to reflash a bootloader / radio / boot

combo or does the s-off script do that? :confused:

I'm unsure what will be the refurb sometimes

I get ones with the original gingerbread and

sometimes whatever is the latest OTA.

Do I need to flash an ICS RUU that is compatible

with the rom I'm going to use before / after s-off?

Would that replace the s-off hboot with the stock one?

I guess maybe I should do the RUU then S-off? :eek:
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
uhhhh, there are alot of questions. so im just going to reply with my thoughts than reply if you need more answers

You should Flash the latest RUU. if it already comes with it than just keep that one

install Amon Ra Recovery

do S-OFF, S-OFF will not touch your radio or boot but it may flash an hboot of 2.25 but if you want you can re flash your RUU after and wont lose or effect S-OFF

also when restoring your nandroid you only nee to restore the data folder to get everything back. so flash the rom zip in recovery than restore the data folder only and reboot. and things like music and pictures should be copied back to your sdcards

and as for ics RUU and rom compatibility, any ics RUU will work with your ics ROM. but always use the latest

BTW weird choice of rom, there are alot of new roms out that are awesome
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
PLEASE be sure that when you do Juopunut's S-OFF method you DO NOT USE the same SDCard where your Nandroid is, or you will most assuredly lose everything on that card. Use a different microsd card, or at least copy everything on your card to PC for safekeeping, then you can copy it back.

I'm not sure the Nandroid from the old phone will take on the new one because of the new device ID, but others may be able to help you get around that.

I just did this (for the 3rd time) but first I waited for the OTA firmware/radio update. Then, as you state, the method is: (1) htc.dev unlock bootloader; (2) flash Amon Ra recovery; (3) Root the device in recovery; (4) Nandroid backup (just in case): (5) insert different microsd card and run Juopunot S-OFF; (6) replace temp sdcard with your regular sdcard in the handset; (7) restore Nandroid (or old nandroid, if you can).
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, in regards to the phone ID and nandroid, what you need to do is make a new nandroid on the new phone and it will make a folder with that phone's ID. Then copy your old nandroid into that folder so it will then see it and you can restore that old one from there.
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
hboot's and ROMs and fastboot Oh My ;)

The latest one, 0.5 I think, does attempt to preserve the sdcard's content,

but I always an empty 4gb just for that.

You were saying the latest stock hboot will still allow fastboot commands,

with s-off already done? I thought I need the patched JB (s-off) one for

ICS to have that work?

May I should look into a current ROM with the updated radios then?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Nope. I flashed my own splash screen via fastboot usb right after getting S-OFF via Juopunut's ControlBear.

Dumped down the innertubes from my Transformer TF300T.
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
Wouldn't you be on Juopunut's hboot at that point?

I was asking if I used a later RUU, (overwriting the special

hboot with the newer stock one), would the unlocked fastboot

commands still work, even though its locked / s-off?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Should. I just checked again and post ControlBear S-OFF I still have hboot v. 2.28 which is the new OTA firmware version.

Remember, you can obviously do fastboot usb on stock hboot, because that's how you unlock the bootloader.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
So are you saying all the patched & ENG hboots do differently

is cosmetics? (saying locked / no tampered warning (with a

possible custom title line) vs tampered and unlocked)?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Not sure. I know that my old Rezound had Juopunut's last hboot and said "locked" even though it was S-OFF and my current Rezound says "TAMPERED UNLOCKED" on stock hboot. It doesn't really matter. Both support fastboot usb, and I don't use it that much anyway. Only issue may be a mainver mismatch now, but as I intend to stay mostly stock, that doesn't matter to me.

Dumped down the innertubes from my Asus Transformer TF300T
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
My understanding is this:

When you s-off your phone will say locked.

Juopunut's hboot - no fastboot function

Eng hboot - fastboot function, which is why people flash this

Stock hboot - fastboot function (of course)

Tampered just means you have a custom recovery on it, but when you s-off the process replaces it, I don't know what it says instead, maybe Juopunut.

Tampered and unlocked is usually a phone that is s-on with a custom recovery (like mine), although some people who s-offed also unlocked again for some reason so theirs say unlocked. However, you don't have to unlock after you s-off.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I think the last version of Juopunut restores both whatever recovery you had before you get S-OFF and possibly also your hboot. I definitely did *not* have "tampered* on my first two Rezounds after getting S-OFF, but they were on earlier hboot/RUU versions. This is the first time I ran it on a post "official" global OTA (with the 2.28 hboot), and now it says TAMPERED. I could probably flash an earlier hboot, but since I still have fastboot usb access (and used it to flash my own splash screen) it isn't necessary.
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
Can I use Juopunut's hboot (25) with the current firmware and

a rom expecting the current firmware, and AmonRa recovery?

I also use a custom splash (actually Juopunut's).

I like to clean look of locked and untampered :)

It does support most of fastboot command set,

I don't need the ENG specific subset anyway.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] axtn95:
Hey Guys, just rooted the Photon Q, was wondering how i could set up the wifi tether? What have you guys been using?

I want wifi tether not usb, and no switching roms

also, is there a specific version of the wifi tether for root users app youre using, with specific settings?

I'm on 4.0.4 Build Number: 7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I used to use this one on stock rooted.

Edit - I haven't tried it on the Q, but this app is old school but always got the job done in the past.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] axtn95:
Ya using the app now but not working, it sends out infrastructure wifi, but nothing seems to actually get internet from it...

Using these settings

Change Device-Profile" and choose "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)" then choose "Change Setup-Method" and hit "Netd (master)". And also MSS Clamping and Routing fix checked. Nothing gets internet from it
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Hm, I can't remember the particular settings I was using... I did have to make some changes to get it to work infrastructure mode, I do remember that. It would always provide internet access, but the default settings would only send out an ad-hoc network. I didn't have to make any changes per se to get the internet tether to work, I only had to make changes (similar to the ones you made) which enabled infrastructure mode.

This is assuming we are talking about the Play Store app. I haven't used the other app I linked on my Q, give it a shot.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] axtn95:
Nah didn't work :(

Thanks for your help though!

Anyone else got the settings they use for their Photons ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:

[HTC Sensation] matt95:
every app that is said to reduce lags will increase them and also drain battery faster ;) the only thing that will reduce lags is to flash a good custom rom and probably a good custom kernel too

[HTC Sensation] padre629:
Excellent app!!!! Thanks sir

Two days ago I using this app. Perfect, it lets you hibernate the apps that you desire when they going to background.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WeatherB:
Hi,

I'm looking into purchasing an XDA2, and am doing some research on upgrading the ROM.

My questions:

1. Can I flash a Qtec or Imate ROM on a XDA2?

2. Does it matter whether I get the ROM from O2, T-mobile, etc? It will be used in Canada on Fido's network.

3. Some tutorials I read were really complicated, can you not just double click the file and flash the XDA2 through Active Sync?

4. How do you upgrade the Radio Stack?

5. If the phone is unlocked, will it remain unlocked after the ROM upgrade?

tnx

Hi,

I was trying to be too nerdy, and I deleted all amazon/kindle related apps form /system/apps on my rooted KFHD7"

After which, the device is no longer being recognized by my PC. The device itself became too unstable and so I tried to "reset to factory defaults" ! and hence I lost all the apps that I had installed via google play (included) as well!

At the moment, the device boots up, but has no apps, except an unstable ADW launcher, contact apps and settings. It does not connect to the computer, so I am stuck now. Is there anything that can be done to get the device back to working condition? Does anyone know if fastboot will work, given that the PC doesnt recognize the KFHD7"?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemeila:
Like the previous post said your only option is to get a factory cable and flash a backup through fastboot. If you are like me though you may want to know the reason this happened. Well the factory reset on the device only resets the cache and user data partitions of the device, because you are not suppose to have access to change anything else on the device. So anything you changed outside of userdata, ie: system/apps, will stay that way even after a "factory reset". Good luck. After you get yourself a factory cable use fastboot to reflash the system partition, if you do not have a personal backup use the tool from this link:
