Is there 1.29 boot RUU for your device?

Or try this method, get back to stock with stock recovery, relock your bootloader then check for updates and update your device, and checl your bootloader version.
[HTC One X] Tony Tan:
Hello everyone,

I have found a new firmware.zip for my phone.

However, because it looks suspicious, would someone please tell me how to verify if the zip is indeed real? (Not edited)

Dropbox link: http://db.tt/1hZsAVvD

MD5: 746876fe4913a7968639f4214c316dd4

Thank you!
[HTC One X] Whoareyou:
try to install it, if it fails to pass htc sig and cid check, it wont do any harm
[HTC One X] Tony Tan:
Yes, I think there is 1.29 RUU, but isn't the hboot contained in it not up to date?

And, I have already checked for updates when I was on stock ROM back in mid June.
[HTC One X] Tony Tan:
Thanks, but are you sure it will just refuse to flash if it is a fake? Because I saw on the forums that if a wrong firmware is flashed, the device could be bricked.

Another question is that is it possible to upgrade hboot without modifying system and data?
[HTC One X] Whoareyou:
You would need s-off for it to flash if it's fake and upgrading the hboot doesn't wipe system or data , although unlocking the boot loader does
[HTC One X] convict_moody:
Yeah it looks like it is 1.36 hboot, CID: HTCCN701....

Why not try it.
[HTC One X] Whoareyou:
Can't check right now, not near my pc but does it happen to have the HTC_621 cod in the android_info.txt?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kawkawati:
So now that the tempered glass screen protector of mime has been redesigned, which of the 2 do you think is better?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I can only speak from my experience of VITREO which I still consider hands down the best :) I spoke with a few people who had original Mime, got annoyed with edges not sticking down and some bubbles still there, and after receiving 2nd gen replacement from Mime (bigger side margin now for less contact with curved edge of N2) they still find edges are not sticking down completely along the whole perimeter. I haven't tested it for a simple reason because I don't want to take my VITREO off.

In my opinion, if you want to save some money, Mime Ghost is a good alternative to VITREO. I wonder if anybody who tried both can compare and give us their opinion. I would imagine there gotta be someone who had Mime and removed it to replace with VITREO.

And btw, VITREO is not exactly bullet proof. I put that tempered glass through hell doing a ton of testing with different cases and accessories. Frankly speaking, I toss it around with keys, tools, etc. After all this time, I see some hairline scratches, something that would have shredded even the best 3H PET film screen protector. And it still feels like a pure smooth transparent glass.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] minazaki:
I have to agree. VITREO is so great, that I just can't imagine anything else even coming close. It's not coming off my phone, probably ever.

To be fair, I haven't tested the Mime either. I did post a review on Amazon with my thoughts about the VITREO, and my preferred installation method. Check it out if you're interested. http://www.amazon.com/review/R3H9GVMW6IILGD/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chino0131:
Havent used the Mime so I cant compare the two, but had the Vitreo and would recommend it. Installation was simple, just requires patience. I took mine off about four times to get it exactly where I wanted. Never had any lifting issues, and no bubbles under the screen. Looked and felt great. Mine busted this past week tho. Was about 6 feet up on some scaffolding taking some photos of a job site. Guy behind me bumped me and my phone went flying, landing screen down and skid across the concrete slab. The Vitreo was damaged, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Took it off and my phone screen was still good as new. Already ordered a new one from Amazon.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] greatg:
I have to agree. The Vitreo was the easiest to install. No bubbles ect. and performs very well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jack143:
I'm using mime, the first version. It has been great. I work a physically demanding job and drop my phone on concrete about three times a month, for about a year. It did finally crack just recently, but I can tell the phone screen is in good shape. The screen protector also looks good but I can see and feel the crack. I just emailed mime for filing a warranty claim and they sent me a code to order a new one at 40% off, total about $16. Everything was fast and easy. This phone is durable as hell with the right protection, I'm using the mime screen protector with the seidio active case, which don't add a lot of bulk.

[HTC EVO 3D] JoHun14:
I updated my htc evo v 4g with the wrong RUU to unroot it. It was the sprint ruu. Then I updated the system and everything up to the march OTA update so now it has 2.95. Then something happened in between there, so now there is no rom installed. it only will show htc logo screen or hboot (1.58). I tried rooting but recovery wont flash correctly. Tried using various ruu files none work either. I really need the 2.95 latest sprint ruu file. Please does anyone have it. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Not sure why you would want a sprint RUU if it is supposed to be a Virgin Mobile phone (Evo V 4g), but two threads I can think of that may help you...

UnknownForce's [TOOL] Ultimate Recovery Tool 3.1 (Unbrick, Downgrade, VM Radio Fix/Reset)

Ramjet73's [Guide] Quick And Dirty Evo 3D/V Root & S-OFF (Sprint and Virgin Mobile Only)

Haven't seen Ramjet73 around lately, but Unknowforce is still patrolling his thread and he is one of the most knowledgeable about the differences between the Virgin Mobile/Sprint partitions and files so that is probably where you want to start. If you can get back to a correct "stock" state, then you will be able to use either thread to get S-Off and continue on for root/recovery/custom roms.

Hope that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidrulez88:
Hi all,

Been lurking around forums for awhile and have also been helped and taught greatly by the discussions. Just became a member recently and this is my first post.

So I was flashing a couple of roms from CM 10.1 to stock android mod but noticed I couldn't get to the hidden menu *#2263# screen that I had with my default AT&T Samsung touchwiz that let me choose which LTE band to latch on to. I'm assuming this is because this is because all the roms are AOSP-based.

I was wondering if there was a hidden menu option for AOSP-based roms that had the same functionality as *#2263# (only available in touchwiz/Samsung base where you can choose specific LTE bands) instead of just the *#*#4636#*#* (where you can only choose which network but not the exact band) or if there are any apps out there that have this option of choosing a specific LTE frequency band.

I'm in this weird situation where we're testing only the LTE network of our provider and want to block off other fallbacks, etc..

Thanks for any feedback and suggestions.

Partially. ..

With CM based variant AOSP builds. ...you can go into your settings. ..then search networks. ..

Once the network is found...select it...

Then back arrow takes you to the 2g only selection option. .

Then select it...

ATT has a RAT restricted network. ..and has disabled the ability to select individual bands as we could with previous generation smart phones. .

This edge only work around gets better signal in poor signal areas. ..but will not persist through a reboot. ..

You are limited to this hack unless you switch networks entirely. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidrulez88:
Thanks for replying.

I'm not sure what you mean by ATT disabling the ability to select individual bands as, with a stock Samsung AT&T rom, I am able to do *#2263# and get to a RF band selection menu. However, with stock Google edition or other AOSP roms, this *#2263# hidden menu is nowhere to be found.

Just came across yet another smartwatch, Emopulse Smile: http://www.gizmag.com/emopulse-smile-smartwatch/27984/ and original link from indiegogo: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/watches-of-the-future

With all the hype of smartwatches, this one wasn't even able to get 1/3 of their goal. For $480/$550 versions with curved glass design - I don't think too many people actually "bought" the idea. And although promised to have some available for developers in October 2013, looks like "consumer" version and apps/sw won't be available until early in 2014. Looks cool though, but how practical is it really going to be?

I'm looking for a software to manually lock my Qtek 9090 on a specific GSM cell (or a specific antenna, somehow). It's very easy to do such a thing on my old Nokia using the hidden menus, but I never found a Pocket PC application that can do that. Any idea ?

Hi yannl,

this shouldn't be a big deal for those how know how to program such a thingy. I assume it should be possible to block the phone program from calling (or even simpler and uglier simply to kill it's process) when you are not in the "right" cell.

As dutty's cell profiler is able changes diverse settings or even launch apps, etc. depending on the cell you're in, it shouldn't be too difficult to realize your wish...

Ive experimented before with a few, mostly for phones though (and thus smaller screens). Currently running GO Launcher on my SGS3, but I don't think GO looks as nice on a larger screen.

I remember liking Nova launcher on another phone from back in the day, that and Launcher Pro (i think) and Holo Launcher. Basically I want something as lightweight as possible (for speed reasons, the HD+ isn't a powerhouse) and also I like having an app drawer that scrolls vertically (preferred but not required).

Whats the consensus?

I'm using Nova Prime and I like it a lot. It can do vertical app drawer and I use the gesture feature with gestures setup same on my Galaxy Note 2 phone.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fencepost:
I'm partial to ADW Launcher (or ADW EX for the still-cheap paid version with more choices for scrolling and screen transitions), but I'm not sure how lightweight it is.

That said, I've not actually switched back over to that since I put CM10.1 on a few weeks ago - I'm still for the moment on the native Android launcher but will probably be switching back soon.

One nice feature is that you can set up groups of apps within the app drawer - you still have an "all apps" group, but you can divide apps into other groups as well. You can toggle the "all apps" group behavior between all applications and only uncategorized ones (handy when putting apps into groups to check for missed ones), but that may be an EX feature.

Was using tablet and just playing a game -- tablet reset, robot with ! showed up.

After that, reboots bring me only to the Acer screen.

I can do the VOLUME UP + POWER -- vibrates, powers up, toggle the switch, let go of power button and it does:

ERASING USERDATA...

ERASING CACHE...

Then it reboots back to the ACER logo, and just sits there. I have downloaded one of the ROMs and done the VOLUME with POWER BUTTON start up and it doesn't do anything. Just stays at ACER logo.

I've looked at quite a few things here on the forums and it hasn't done me any good -- nothing seems to want to work with the tablet unless it's in debug mode (which means it has to be a working tab). When connected to a PC it does detect as an MTP USB DEVICE and says "THIS DEVICE IS WORKING PROPERLY." But I can't get much of anything. The only thing I've used that remotely works is USBDEVIEW which gives me the device info including a serial #, which I understand is NOT the cpuid. I do have the box, so I guess that would have the CPUID? Any help appreciate. More than willing to just blast this thing with a one touch factory reset from the PC, if it will just connect.

I bought the tablet used and it would loop on the green "ANDROID" screen. So I don't know what version it was on. I tried the volume +, rotation left and power on to clear the cache and user data. After that it hangs at the ACER screen. I'm assuming it had HC because it has standard recovery. IOW, if I hold the volume - when powering on, it goes to the green Android logo and if an "update.zip" file is present, it will flash it. I've tried just about every "full" ROM I can find and most of them flash but none of them get past "ACER".

I've tried pushing the reset button while powering on while connected to both a Linux box running Mint 15 and a Win7 box. The Win7 box see the tab but won't load the driver. Even though I d/l'd the USB driver from the Acer site. Mint 15 sees the tab but comes up with the error box saying it can't be mounted.
