[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dkonkin:
I am a newb but having said that did manage to Root Nexus One and flash new ROMS using CWM.

Have just used Hasoon2000 Evita Tool KIt for my HTC One X, which has allowed me to unlock Bootloader and now the TWRP recovery is in place (up and running on screen)

1. It looks like my original ROM is gone (I would just go back to that if possible)

2. If I want to flash a new ROM I need to load it on to the phones memory?!

Any help getting me back to a ROM would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Is there any team which is working on this kind of project to flash custom rom in lumia's dload bootloader.. To get rid of this dissembling the phone and soldering to get qualcomm.. Is someone working on this..??
[Nokia Lumia 800] lomcho:
If you want custom rom you should get unlocked bootloader....

Sent from my Lumia 710 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 800] SidRose01:
:p

i too know that.. im not asking that..! i just want to know is there any team working to unlock the dload bootloader
[Nokia Lumia 800] lordmaxey:
i think DLOAD will never be "hacked"...

I don't think people still spend their time on trying to unlock the DLOAD bootloader.

A couple of months ago, there was a lot progress on this, but DLOAD couldn't be unlocked. Instead the devs found ways of replacing DLOAD with the unlocked QUALCOMM bootloader.

But for now, the Lumia 7.8 devices are too old, i think it's not "worth enough" to keep on working on "old" devices...

In my opinion, it's absolutely awesome that you can replace the bootloader with atf.

I think we have to be happy with that.
[Nokia Lumia 800] SidRose01:
then what about new lumia phones... Can we make the bootloader qualcomm with atf in win8 phones??

Do new lumia phones have Dload or Qualcomm bootloader??
[Nokia Lumia 800] lordmaxey:
No, for now, you can only flash your phone with a different stock firmware with atf.

I think also the structure of wp7 and wp8 bootloader is totally different... so i guess there is no chance on having qualcomm on wp8.
[Nokia Lumia 800] SidRose01:
so can we deploy apps on win8 phones..?
[Nokia Lumia 800] lordmaxey:
what exactly do you mean?

Of course you can develop apps and publish them into the marketplace...

But no homebrew for now.
[Nokia Lumia 800] SidRose01:
no not developing!! I mean can we install xap files (paid app and games) on win8 using tools like xapDeployer

And request you to port rataplan rom (higher version v6 or v7 which one u prefer better and bug free) for lumia800

Take your own time to do this.. And thankyou for all your free works :):D
[Nokia Lumia 800] lordmaxey:
No, you need to have an unlocked phone to be able to install tools like xap-deployer.

No chance on WP8 for now.

But have a look into the WP8 development & hacking forums, there are some nice threads going on there :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mixation:
Does anyone know if its possible to have a windows based OS on the TF700.... ive tried to find answers to this but wasnt successful in the search.... my quess is no due to it being more of a hardware issue rather than a software one... Anyone care to comment , more than welcome.. . Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
We've had this one pass us a few times already, and the consensus seems to be 'no'. Especially Windows 8 is tied to the devices it is specifically marketed on, and cannot be ported to our 700.

I'd like the option myself, too, but you'd have to go Taichi or Book Transformer to get Windows and the rest of the Transformer advantages... (You'll lose the superior battery life of Android in the process, making it a much less compelling package, in my opinion.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mixation:
I appreciate the quick response/feedback ... I love the 700 an what it brings to the table... I just miss the Windows OS feel at times ... Maybe if I have it unlocked/rooted I will get more out of it
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
I know what you mean. Though I miss the XP feel, not the new versions. Luckily there's Splashtop, but it's not the same. There are just some things that Windows has that Android doesn't which I can not find words to explain. (errors are part of its charm! :p) A taskbar and lots of windows, for one.

But no, as MartyHulskemper said, the new mobile Windows OS can't be ported to the Infinity. No hardware support for it.

Since it's an Arm based device using win7/8 is impossible. A huge reason why I hate arm. It is dividing the market further making it harder on developers and consumers. But windows rt is arm based and can be put on the tf700 (theoretically). No one has done it but it can be done. I would jot do it though because it is watered down because of the arm processor and it cannot use x86/64 applications.

[HTC One S] twotimer:
Dunno if I should really keep the phone up to date, but since the update is out, why the hell not.

I've got S4 with stock 4.1.1 (3.16.401.8) rom, rooted, S-OFF, TWRP 2.5.

I've tried changing CID to my original one, reverted to stock recovery, used OTA keeper etc.

No matter what I do, I can't get the OTA to install, ending up with phone-red triangle-exclamation at about a quarter of update progress.

Any advice guys?
[HTC One S] rootrider:
yo - tried an RUU already? (Please not the latest).

And how did you try to change CID on your s-off device?
[HTC One S] twotimer:
well, if I remember correctly, if I go down the RUU road it'll wipe all my stuff and put back all the bloatware I've carefully deleted.

I do have Titanium Backup to restore things, but I thought there's a way to install the downloaded OTA manually maybe.

Changing CID is really easy with s-off (with fastboot commands), but when I changed it back to my default HTC__102 from the one I used to s-off, it didn't help.
[HTC One S] rootrider:
That is the reason why it doesn't work. The OTA checks the presence of some things. If they are deleted -> no go.

Quite good, but you should have also kept a nandroid backup of your 'original' installation. This would be upgradeable...

The OTA also will only flash, if your rom is complete stock.

'fastboot oem writecid HTC__102' didn't work on your s-off device?
[HTC One S] twotimer:
damn, I guess I'll wait for something bigger to roll out, doesn't seem to worth the effort atm.

fastboot worked as it should, but as you pointed out, cid wasn't the reason for failed update.

Thanks for the info!
[HTC One S] rootrider:
You're welcome.

You could try the following. Here you will find some TWRP nandroids. They're clean stock. If you download 2.38 this will be upgradeable to 3.16. Simply have a look into readme.txt, you'll find everything you need in that linked folder.

Just make a nandroid backup of your working system before and copy the whole content of your sd-card to your pc (incl. the nandroid backup). Then restore my backup on your device and reboot and flash stock recovery. It should upgrade.

You can also simply restore 3.16 which is the already upgraded 2.38... ;) hehe

Remember: these backups are plain stock, so there is no root and 3.16 will have the write protection. For rooting your device simply download SU_box... and flash in recovery mode. Write protection will be removed by flashing any sense custom kernel (bricked or bulletproof, e.g.)

You'll be good to go then.

[Nexus 7 General] promethieus:
Hi guys, lately I have been thinking about making a holder for my Nexus to go in my car, so finally took the steps, a few weeks ago to make one, the first one was too heavy and just not right, so I decided to start making another.

It had to be light and easy to use.

The Nexus dock, has OTG, Charge and Audio. I can honestly say that it is starting to look the part and works flawlessly.

Here are some pictures of the first attempt,

http://fixer14.com/me/me/Projects/Nexus7/Nexus_First_%20Prototype/

Here is the progress on the second Build, wjhich is the one I am going to go with, It is not finished yet, but you will get the general Idea, soo far.

http://fixer14.com/me/me/Projects/Nexus7/Nexus_Second_Prototype/

I have also just within the last half hour finished cutting out what will be the front facia for the Holder.
[Nexus 7 General] promethieus:
Hi there, quick update on things, have managed to get the wooden front fascia fixed to molding, and have started to reshape it. Really nice fit and I deliberately made the holder to be 1/2 size of the nexus as it did not need to be full size and also adds a bit of quirkiness to it.

I have tried to incorporate a slight angle to the way the nexus will finally sit, when mounted, I do hope this is pleasing to those that visit and have a look.

More to come and will post when ready.
[Nexus 7 General] promethieus:
Here is an update, all sanded and filled ready for spraying now.

Hi,

I tried looking at other threads that have similar problems, but the problem is i am still unsure what is causing my problem, so i don't know what will help.

This morning, i installed the new ViperOneS Rom, and i followed all the instructions that they provided. But now my phone will only boot to the HTC splash screen and then immediately shut off. When I try to power it back on, the back,home,and settings buttons will flash until i let go of the power button.

I cannot access anything on my phone; i cant boot into recovery or hboot as far as i know.

Please help if you can

Thanks
[HTC One S] ryanshew:
Then your phone is on...keep holding while they flash until it shuts off, then hold volume down, while holding, press power once, keep holding volume down until you see boot loader

Thank you very much. But what do i do now? I can now get into recovery, but is there something wrong with install? Do i need to reinstall the ROM?

I am also having difficulty flashing the boot.img file. when i use the .bat file to flash in fastboot mode, it freezes my phone.

Any additional help would be very appreciated.

Thanks
[HTC One S] IntelligentAj:
Make sure that you can mount your SD card in Recovery. If you can then you should wipe everything 3 times(System, Cache, everything) then repeat the steps to install the ROM from scratch. Also make sure you are using the correct version for your phone processor. S3 or S4 version
[HTC One S] Longfoehammer:
Thanks,

I am unable to mount the sdcard. When I go into the mount menu in CWM and press mount /sdcard, it gives me an error and tells me i cannot mount the card. I did format /data, /system, /cache, but without access to the sdcard, i cannot access the ROM to reinstall.
[HTC One S] IntelligentAj:
Then you need the HTC drivers on your PC. Check this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
[HTC One S] Longfoehammer:
So it all works now. I had a friend help me reinstall CM on my phone.

The problem was that I could not access the phone internal storage at all. That meant that i could not mount the sdcard in recovery or even backup or restore anything i had done.

The way we fixed the problem was to run the RUU and restore it back to stock and then re-root it. This turned out to work and now my phone is working properly again.

Thanks for all your help.
[HTC One S] IntelligentAj:
That's great!!! Make sure to keep the RUU handy and the HTC sync drivers. You never know when something could go wrong. Also make sure to keep frequent backups

Im a pure n00b. I'm About to buy my first droid phone. Im very knowledgeable about iphones and the jailbreak world but I'm not sure what would be the benefit of rooting a droid phone. I've heard the droid community is pretty wide open without rooting.

What would be some benefits of rooting a phone like the samsung galaxy s4? I did see that it will allow you to tweak bluetooth to connect a ps3 controller to it wirelessly for emulators but is it anything else that XDA could share to help push me in that direction? any cool features?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LeKtRiCzzz:
I'd say the biggest benefit from rooting is getting rid of that crap that both Samsung and AT&T put on the S4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wotandsdwys:
First thing, droid phones are from Motorola. Call all others android phones. It will save some unnecessary flaming.

Pretty much still running the stock rom on mine, but used root to flash a mod that allows free wifi tethering and hot spot, and an extended power menu.

Flashing roms is also a big reason most people root phones. You can pick and choose what you want(touchwiz roms or aosp) and find one you like.

I wouldnt want an android phone without rooting it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] V1ViD:
I mainly rooted for faux's kernel which removed the launcher lag and the messaging lag that occurs sometimes. I also rooted to removed all the bloatware.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] *Luke*:
Biggest reasons to root, for me personally, are custom roms, custom kernels, debloating, backing up and restoring apps, theming, overclocking, and undervolting. These are just my reasons personally. There are literally hundreds of other things you can do as a root user that you couldnt do otherwise.

The worst case scenario of rooting being, if you really dont find the benefit for yourself personally, its pretty easy to revert back to stock unrooted. These samsung phones now are basically unbrickable and flashing is really easy, especially if youve went through jailbreaking an iphone... lol rooting a samsung device is way easier imo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] optimummind:
I root for the deep-level backup capabilities, custom kernels that improve speed and battery life, Pie Control (makes navigating & using a large phone much easier), custom ROMs, mods like Hot Spot and custom themes, and deeper level security apps (firewall, find your phone, etc).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GiantJay:
Here are the main reasons while people usually root. In no particular order.

1. Ad blocking

2. Remove unwanted apps "bloatware"

3. Custom ROMs/ advanced custom theming

4. Custom kernels and features such as nandroid backups and under/over clocking etc.

5. Tethering/free hot spot

6. Aosp ROMs

Ultimately think of rooting as taking complete control of your device. You can do pretty much anything depending on your knowledge after you are rooted.

How much space are you guys saving when you root and get rid of all the bloatware? How much available space is on your phone before all of your additional aps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jejb:
There is at least one downside to rooting. You can't take the updates w/o breaking root. I've not rooted my S4 yet, but am thinking about it. I always rooted my HTC phones and it would sometimes take several months for a developer to incorporate updates into a ROM. So that makes me a little gunshy with a new phone like this, as I assume there will be a few updates in the first few months. But it seems like the dev's are much more active and on top of it with the Samsung phones, so I'm tempted to go.

Main reasons I want to go are deep backup, ad blocking and being able to tweak my settings to make it so the home button does not wake up the phone. I know, the latter reason seems silly, but it's a big deal to me.

BTW, you do not need to root to be able to tether. Check out the PDANet+ app. That's what I'm using and it works great wired or via bluetooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GiantJay:
You should be able to take otas if you have stock recovery and are just rooted, this is how it was on the S3 at least and I don't see why you can't. Also on the S3 we always got the leaks right before the otas came out so the ROMs would always have the newest builds out before the otas usually, depending on the developer, some didn't like using leaks. But Sextape would always have a leak right before the otas dropped and we had everything usually within a day or two up to a week. But the development there was amazing on the S3. :thumbup:

You can take the OTA, it will just break root. There were several threads here stating that fact here when the MDL OTA came out for the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wotandsdwys:
Exactly what I was going to say! Sextape always came thru on the e4gt as well. The next update would always be out before the official release. So glad to see him have stuff for the s4 as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Just_s:
This is generally the case with OTA's, but every year it seems like rooting becomes more straight forwsrd, especially for Samsung. As for MDL it was a specific attribute added by Samsung to tighten up control on deeper root access that broke root, but it was hardly a locked bootloader or anything that severe. Re-rooting was as simple as loading a kernel and then Odining. At this point, most manufacturers are beginning to understand the benefits of the development community. Now if we can just get the carriers to "get it."
