Well Im no noob to rooting.. rooted the Samsung moment , og evo, and evo lte.. some reasons for rooting were battery life, theming , faster.. well the HTC one seems fast, the theme is great, and battery life decent..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] x714x:
I do it for for stuff like % battery, changing cpu/scheduler settings for better battery, debloating, ect. So you are the only one who can decide.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] finalhit:
If you had to ask, you don't need to.

I don't say that as a pejorative. You're asking because you don't have a thing you need to do that requires root. So you don't need to.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sim-X:
I usually run stock for at least a few months but the HTC One I rooted maybe after a week. The dot dot dot drives me nuts since HTC decided a menu key is not needed. The menu key is needed and it's still nice to have even on ICS compliant apps. There is room for it, I love this phone except for no menu key.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Super Tommy:
It's always worth it to gain root access. Wifi Tetethering alone will justify it. And to be honest, rooting is usually not good enough. It's in your interest to flash a custom ROM; there is a lot to be gained. There is a reason we're on Android and not iOS or Windows Phone and the benefits we gain from rooting is one of them. (This is not a jab at other platforms, I hate everything equally)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] legendary1022:
Yeah I just went right the rooting process after having the phone for two days, simply for WiFi access. Also the custom ROM doesn't hurt (running Viper right more and will wait for CM10.1 to catch up). Will try the custom kernel to get the swipe to turn on/off, real soon.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thlinx:
So since we don't have s-off, do I need to root the phone just like I did before using joeys gui flash?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] legendary1022:
Never used that application as it seems like it really doesn't offer anything outside of what GooManager and/or ROM Manager already offer. You may not have to root the phone, but you'll likely need to unlock the device with no S-OFF. The rooting process on this device isn't that difficult, and the videos on the forum from QBKing and wwJosh are solid and walk you through the process. All you really have to do is follow some simple instructions and use copy and paste.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sand1303:
Main 2 reasons I root my phone's:

1)tethering, hardly ever use it so it's not worth paying the sprint fee, but when u need it u are glad u have it

2)ad blocking apps

As far as flashing kernals and hboots I usually don't fool with it. I find a nice stable customized Rom built off stock and stick with it usually.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
I would have to disagree with that; I actually prefer to stick with stock if at all possible. Sometimes there is a ROM out there that has such better performance all around to justify a switch (mostly Carbon-style ROMs that are minimalist), but I take satisfaction in running stock.

Rooting is also useful if you want to enable various features like GPS toggling/Airplane mode toggles for tools such as Tasker or Power Toggles, or to freeze/remove bloat.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] J.S.:
I found something...

VDisk.dll is the driver for the extended ROM. If you look inside it is the standard CpqDsk.dll (Compaq driver from 3800) It still contains it strings.

All we need now is a user with a Compaq 3800 which looks in his registry what the parameters for CpqDsk.dll are...

either something like from here:

HKLM\Drivers\BuildIn\CpqDsk

or here:

HKLM\Storage\Profiles\CpqDsk

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happyjack96:
A few weeks ago, i flashed a stock rom on my wifi nexus. I was happy with it until last week. Charging became incredibly slow - 30% over 8 hours. I threw it in my bag and wheb i got home 8 hours later, the battery was depleted completely. I couldn't turn it on. I plugged it in over night and it stayed at zero percent. I booted into recovery and reflashed my stock rom abd wiped my data. Still didn't charge. I tried going into my bootloader and hitting power off and then plugging in, but it still wouldn't charge. I can't flash my backup because it's on my card that i lost, and even if i had it, i wouldn't be able to keep it on long enough to flash it. ADB won't run on my pc and i don't know how to use the program anyway. What can i do to save my device? Please help.....

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidOnRoids:
Not the average flasher knows how to tear apart a device - including myself. Anyways, this thing won't power up at all? You tried leaving it plugged in and booted into bootloader? If so, sounds like a hardware issue or the battery is defective.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dparrothead1:
I would be willing to bet that your battery connection came loose. Start at your USB port with a thin piece of plastic, such as a guitar pic. Work your way around the device and remove the back.

I heard that was a good site. I'm more scared of screwing up any hardware than doing the actually tearing apart. :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happyjack96:
I can boot for like 30 seconds and then it shuts off. I've tried the solutions in the thread link above; however, i still think it is a software issue. I've used other roms that had really slow charging, but i was able to switch to another one before the battery got depleted. So i think my best bet is to somehow get a new rom on my device somehow. ADB won't run on my computer. It just flashes a command prompt on the screen for like half a second and closes.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidOnRoids:
What kernel are you on? The kernel is what does the charging operations.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
I had a similar situation in that after the battery died, I got it to the point where I could boot up, but after a screen timeout, it would be dead again. Finally, I got it booted again (while plugged into power) and immediately went to developer options and checked the Stay Awake, never sleep while charging. Keeping the screen awake kept the N7 on and it charged up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Funny my Galaxy Nexus started doing this crap on me too after I updated the rom and kernel. The phone and battery are only 2 months old replaced in April.

Occasionally it won't take a charge. I have to **** with the battery, removing it several times. Then all of a sudden it starts charging again after 10-15 resets.

Haven't had a problem in a while. Typically hits me like every 2 weeks.

No problem on N7 though but it happens. First thing is to change your kernel and rom to something else. If still draining, flash stock and relock, unlock, relock, wipe. Boot, upgrade to 4.2.2 and test.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RGBell:
I recently started receiving duplicate emails on my Lumia 920 from my Yahoo mail account. One on them appeared as Read and one was Unread. I have my Hotmail and Yahoo accounts linked on the phone. I tried deleting and reinstalling the Yahoo mail account and that had no effect. Several months ago I added my Yahoo mail as an additional account to Outlook.com. The duplicate emails started long after adding the account. I deleted the additional account and the duplicates stopped. Apparently Microsoft changed something in the way email is handled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UrbanDroid:
Recently i have purchased a used Verizon Galaxy Nexus from a seller on ebay. It is in excellent shape and has no cosmetic damage to the phone. The persone i purchased it from was a reputable seller and had the feedback to back it up. Now with that said. The phone was listed as broken because the seller could not get the phone to connect to the Verizon cell network.

So i bought the phone thinking that maybe the phone had some deleted files on it that i could replace or better yet. Just flash all new software to the phone and remedy the problem. Thus i would have bought a phone for a quarter the price of a new one and have a fully functioning phone.

As far as flashing and roming goes. I am no novice. I have owned many Android phones, in fact thats all ive owned lol, but this one is causing me some frustration. So here is a list of the things i have done to remedy the problem to no avail...

1) Factory Reset- no go

2) Complete Re-Flash of the entire framework - Im talking everything. Careful fastboot flash of every elemet of the android ecosystem

3) Radio swapps from older versions to newer versions.

4) Multiple reboots and toggleing airplane mode over and over again.

5) Flashed several aftermarket roms.

6) Toggled the test mode in phone settings using the hidden menu (*#*#4636#*#*)

For a short period of time last night i was able to get the phone to display up to 3 bars of service using the method described in #6 I NEVER got data working and i could only temporarily call out. My girlfriend would see me calling in on her phone but immediately upon answering it would drop my call. The phone never rang on my end and it cannot receive calls. Also cannot send text messages.

I thought for sure i could fix this one, but for some reason it is being stubborn. Please Help me XDA!!! Your my only Hope!!!

P.S. As an aside i did take the phone apart and check to make sure nothing was damaged. All the components look top shape and all the little snap connectors are securely fastened. No metal contact prongs are bent and everything is clean of dirt and debris.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
does it display your IMEI *#06#?

maybe some NV_DATA corrupted or it can be hardware issue :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UrbanDroid:
Does indeed show imei and I had it checked for lost / stolen / blacklist by Verizon. At the store now to get it checked out.

And that is actually meid that that code pulls.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UrbanDroid:
And the verizon store could not do any good. Has anyone ever ordered a replacement back casing from ebay or anywhere else on the web? Im thinking it may be a ribbon cable somewhere. Maybe even the bottom board that houses the headphone jack and a series of winding antenna leads.

I am still open to suggestion though so anyone with any information on the matter please let me know.

EDIT: Been looking at Cell phone repair shop and they have the antenna / headphone replacement in stock. They also have the back mid frame with all the antennas on it as well.

I feel like this is a 50/50 shot in the dark as to which part i need to fix this problem. Gonna give them a call tomorrow and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UrbanDroid:
I've ordered a new mid frame in the hopes that there is a torn ribbon cable somewhere in the old one. I'm still not certain that's what it is though.

sounds like a unconnected/torn radio cable to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UrbanDroid:
I've been all through the device and checked all the connections and hardware. Everything has a firm connection and is in top shape. I even replaced the back midframe cover with a brand spanking new (OEM Samsung) one. Its behaving like a software problem in that I can toggle between 3G and 4G and get 3G for a brief moment and can even call out, but the moment that someone answers the call it drops service and i have to start the process all over again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Try fastboot flashing the factory images from google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UrbanDroid:
I've done this as well several times. 4.2.2 and 4.2.1 and yes i made sure i had the correct firmware for my version of the phone. Verizon toro.

Edit: Has anyone ever sent in their phone to Samsung for RMA? I called and talked to someone and tried to work through the problem and she came to the conclusion that I should send it in at no cost and that I wouldn't be charged anything unless I authorized them payment before. Essentially they will run through the phone and check everything out for free and see if it can be fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sir Lemmiwinks:
I did the same thing. Bought one from ebay in good shape. Was told it functions. I have the HTC Rezound so the sim wouldnt fit. Went to Verizon and they put in the mini sim and no service. Reset the phone and even tried a new sim. I have since tried different roms and radios, but still no service. Luckily the seller has a 100% guarantee so looks like this one is going back. From what I have read, these are prone to radio issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UrbanDroid:
Yeah. I've read multiple threads about radio issues, but here's the thing. Every one of them claiming to have signal issues also had the random reboot issue. They all were even having problems flashing any Roms or anything else for that matter.

I on the other hand have had zero problems flashing anything. Fastboot works 100%, Recovery flash works 100% and I can unlock and lock the boot loader without issue. Its an odd problem.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sir Lemmiwinks:
I've had an issue flashing, it would abort for no reason. I would also have issues getting into CWM. After playing around with it all night, I don't think its a software issue. I've been reading the antenna has given other people issues and some have even tried to replace them. a Rep from Verizon thought it was the sim reader. I don't believe that because the phone registers a sim and the number tied to it (which is my number). Under status, I does read different every time.

Network: searching for service

Signal strength is usually at: -120dBm 99asu

Mobile network type: (varies) CDMA - 1xRTT:7 or LTE: 13 or unavailable

Service state: out of service

Roaming: not roaming

Mobile network state: (varies) Disconnected or Connected

I've tried different combos such as CDMA and Home LTE Automatic and so on. I think its just a poor design. Seems to be only the CDMA devices tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pbourdyk:
Did OP ever arrive at a solution or at least pinpoint the cause of this problem? I am currently experiencing a pretty much identical problem to the one described (with the exception that I don't even get a 3G signal -- complete lack of signal). My problem started after a brief Airplane mode toggle yesterday and I haven't been able to get on the network since.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coltronathon:
I think it's a hardware problem tbh.

I modded mine to work with the palm pre touchstone inductive charging kit. In the process wires were soldered, rear housings were mutilated and the phone was tortured a bit. I was never happy with Samsung's **** build quality so I eventually just ditched it altogether.

I decided to repair it and give it to a family member so I replaced the back housing and USB port with parts ordered off ebay. Ever since my repair work the thing cosmetically looks almost mint. However no OS will recognize it anymore (windows throws an "invalid descriptor" and won't install a driver) and 3G/4G/wifi reception is almost nonexistent. Switching roms or radios doesn't seem to help, and obviously I can't odin a factory image. Pretty much boned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waxhits:
Had a similar problem in regards to a lack of signal. It just completely gave out while driving a couple days ago (interestingly enough, the music I was streaming via Soundcloud stopped right as I passed the Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, which ironically is a 4G dead zone for Verizon). This was a refurbished replacement device that I got about 15 months ago, and was running the latest OmniMetal rom flawlessly for the last few months.

I arrived at this thread and followed all the steps that OP took to try and fix it. Ended up reverting to an earlier 4.2.2 rom and reflashed the radios thinking that might solve the problem. Upon reboot was able to connect to mobile data and make phone calls briefly, but about an hour later the same thing happened. Brought it to the store and swapped out the SIM card for a new one, no dice.

Fortunately VZW is doing open enrolment for phone insurance, so I added it for $10/month to get an extended warranty. Now I'm going to restore everything to stock, lock the bootloader and send it back for a new one. Assuming there are no problems with the replacement, I can cancel the insurance plan, bringing the cost of the replacement Gnex to just 10 bucks.

Was anyone out there able to successfully modify the radio hardware for cheap?:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ageerdes:
I did the same mod, and other than losing my pc connection (which frankly is never needed) it's been great. You have to be very careful and take your time. I'm not even convinced that my pc connection issues are related to the Palm mod, I think they just happened to coincide. Either way, I don't need it so I never bothered tracing it down.

Hi there,

My LG P500 recently got hard bricked and I can't bring it back to life with multiple combinations and methods. I have brought it somewhere and they have told me they can try something, if it works I have to pay £15 if it doesn't I take my phone away.

I don't know if it's worth it, I'm probably better off being another one, used of course. Anyone know roughly how much it is worth paying for a used LG P500 these days?

Cheers.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alobo:
Here in Toronto, used P500s are in the range of $40-$60. If you're in the market for a phone, you could put in a little more money and get a better used phone - the P500 is unfortunately getting old.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J. Clarkson:
I've checked on GSM Arena and LG P500 in terms of the stats is a very good phone for the price, which other phones could you recommend which is a bit more expensive but worth it? Must be same size screen as P500 or bigger.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alobo:
For around $80-$100, you can get a Galaxy S Captivate/Vibrant (The first Galaxy Phones).

For approximately $150, you can get a Galaxy Ace 2x.

They're both popular ARMv7 phones, with active development communities. They're pretty good replacements for the P500.

I know from the prices you have quoted, it is meant to mean that maybe the Galaxy Ace 2 is a better phone, but if you look at the link above, the Galaxy S Captivate/Vibrant is really good also, it has Adobe Flash support which the other one doesn't ect.. But thanks for the advice, I'm going to leave the idea of getting P500 for the moment and try and pick between these two model phones.
