1)Factory data reset in bootloader just clears the /data partition but does not function correctly at all if you unlock the bootloader for this device.

The only way to relock the bootloader is to do fastboot oem lock

2)As timmaaa said, follow the index. You want to unlock bootloader, flash ROM with root, get supercid, s-off.

The catches are:

AT&T devices need to gain temp root to get supercid before they can unlock bootloader.

Newer HTC updates eg new 3.17 and 5.xx updates may prevent you from getting supercid even with root, you may need to investigate downgrading things to get supercid.

With an unlocked bootloader, you are well on your way. You should check if you have supercid and if you are s-off.

3)Do not attempt to install HTC updates after you modify the phone. OTA is particular can be dangerous but even RUU's can be dangerous under some circumstances. OTA have many rules which are easy to follow once you have an idea of what they do, best bet is to just ignore them, RUU is fine if you have both s-off and supercid.

4)You can not ask that question and we can not answer it. It is unfair for someone to rate ROM's over other ROMs as the devs put a lot of effort in to these things. Each ROM is special in its own way, you need to check them out yourself.

A typical vibe is HTC stock ROMs will typically give the most reliable experience, eg less crashes, less bugs, etc, but tend to also lack features.

Unlocking your phone and modding it requires you to read and understand what you are getting yourself in to. It is not a perfect smooth ride, it is not for the average "non technical" user.

5)Not really
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
thanks a lot man....

i appreciate since u elaborated on every aspect...!! =)

btw m sorry if i am wrong but what i meant in my first question was does rooting or a reset or flashing affect the "sim unlock" (or the factory unlock or jailbreak)? [the vendor says its unlocked to work on all networks]

besides you are right i was wrong with the approach.. every developer puts in a lot of efforts in ROM development and its not fair to rate it!

the only reason i would possibly root is to remove bloatware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
and rvhaval

thanks i will surely go through that!

the thing that actually haunts me is this phone doesn't have a removable battery so if anything goes wrong and i have some boot loops i would be in a very hopeless situation.. So I need to go through everything!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You can simulate a battery pull by holding volume down and power buttons together. When you do this the button lights will start flashing, when they stop flashing you can let go of the power button but keep holding volume down. This will take you to the bootloader.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] twistedddx:
Sim unlock is unrelated to bootloader unlock, ROM flashing, etc etc.

The sim unlock should survive most everything you will do. Although I have not tested as my device was never locked.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
thanks!! i hope it survives!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
that sounds good!!

the people on this device forum seem very helpful:good::angel::):highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
so Timaaaa i have done the following...

please i would like to give you a brief update of the following things..

1)Unlocked Bootloader

2)i have s-off

3)supercid is 11111111

4) installed twrp version 6.xx.xxx

5)my radio is 1.30a.32.45.18

6)hboot is 2.15.0000

7)device is now rooted

so m i good to flash custom roms like Cm,PAC,SLIM?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That all looks fine apart from two things.

The TWRP version you mentioned doesn't look right, the latest TWRP is 2.6.3, could you double check that?

Also, your hboot is 2.15 which will be ok for flashing cm, but I think PAC still has a restriction to hboot 2.14 and I'm not sure about Slim. Hboot 2.15 is perfect for running the latest Sense 5 ROMs though.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
As u said i checked again its 2.5.0.0 how to update twrp?

it actually works well......

btw is it possible to change hboot version?

and thanks as always!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
TWRP 2.5 is full of bugs, you should update to at least 2.6, here's how:

Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you'll have a much better version of TWRP.

You can upgrade and downgrade your hboot, there's a thread on our forum somewhere but I can't remember where, just search downgrade hboot within our forum and it should appear.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
did that... btw when i installed it... and tried to clear the cache partition and dalvik cache it said it "failed"...!!

Btw also i wanted to know..

since i had a Samsung before flashing a rom just meant copying the zip file and installing it through cwm followed by a resets (if needed)

is this the same way for HTC ONE xl. or like Sony do i have to first unzip the downloaded rom.. and flash the "boot.img" separately??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
So even after putting TWRP 2.6 on your phone you get a failed message when trying to wipe?

With this phone all you need to do is copy the ROM zip onto the phone and install it, you are s-off so you don't need to worry about flashing the boot.img via fastboot.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sonone:
i tried it again mate and it works absolutely fine!

yay!!!! :D:o:laugh: flashing roms will be great!:good:

wish if we had a dual boot interface like we have on our computers installing every single app again becomes so inconvenient!:fingers-crossed:

btw m really sorry to bombard you with all the quetions:silly: i just needed to ask one thing that do we have a list of bloatware apps which are safe to remove..

i did google it but then it was very specific to carrier bloatware. as i have got an unlocked version there are no carrier bloatware apps but i do have some apps which seem useless at the moment.. i did freeze a few... but it would have helped if there would have been a list! :o
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'd love a dual boot setup too. In terms of bloatware, you can remove a fair bit but be careful while doing it. Removing anything that is integral to the running of the ROM will cause problems. Things like Stocks, Picasa, Talkback can be removed if you don't use them. Obviously don't remove anything like Phone or Messages lol.

m thinking of flashing clean rom 7.0.1 but den it seems it has an at&t bootscreen or something like that during start up which m not very inclined to have....

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremySwagS:
Please help. I have done a through search of the forums and found nothing on the subject. (Any search including "otg" returns results for "ota" updates.) The ability to use a flash drive as a kind of external hard drive was a MAJOR reason I rooted and installed a non-stock os. I have a Kindle Fire HD running twrp, cm10.2 and hashcode's 3.0.50+ kernel. I have tried both the "stickdrive" and "USB OTG Helper" apps with no luck. I was told in another thread that some ROMs will support USB OTG mounting but when I asked which ones I didn't get a response.

Thank you in advance.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Last I heard hashcode hasn't enabled otg in his kernel yet, and I think all ROMs use his kernel except stock amazon and kinology. You should wait for some other people to verify what I said first though because I am not 100% sure on this.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremySwagS:
What is "kinology"? I'd be willing to try it out and update as to the results if I knew where to download it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Its in the android development section, but it uses the same kernel as stock amazon os, its basically Amazon's os, but modded.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremySwagS:
I tried both of the apps I mentioned before I rooted/modded my KFHD with no luck. So, do I just need to wait till KitKat and CM11 come out?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Or just wait until hashcode gets otg working. I think he was going to work on otg after all the other bugs and such are worked out. Seems like waiting for cm 11 to have otg would take longer than waiting for the current version, because I'm guessing the new version will have a new kernel so some things will have to be redone, and bugs introduced. Personally I'm just hoping by the time the next android release is out we can still use a buggy flashplayer... Don't even get me started on that....
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremySwagS:
Forgive me, why would one want to introduce bugs into a system?, and what is a "buggy" flash player? I thought bugs were glitches. Do you mean exploits?

Also, why do you use CM10.1? Is it more stable than CM10.2?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Eh well you don't want to introduce bugs into a system it just tends to happen when making something new while ironing the new problems out. That's why official releases of an os have these things fixed first usually before final release, though we tend to use alpha and beta ROMs a lot because some of us would rather have a buggy os than a amazon os. Not that hashcode's cm is that buggy anymore, he's worked out almost all the bugs I think. As for the buggy flash player, adobe stopped development a while back for flash player in ice cream sandwich, because they said html5 would be the future, even though so much of the net uses flash... Anyways the last flash player for ICS is kinda buggy on jellybean OS's, mainly because it wasn't designed for it, and some web browsers won't let u use the last version of flash because its buggy, like dolphin unless you download the modded version of the browser I found on the forums. One of the bugs I noticed is if I tap around in a video player too much it crashes the web browser. So no not exploits, just code that needs rewriting but will never happen since flash players is closed source. Ah as for me using cm 10.1, I just want to wait a few months until I'm sure that the apps in the market have stabilized, among other things, because some apps were having problems after the changes made in the new release caused certain apps to not work correctly. There's also a few other reasons like I heard about some of the libraries for the new version aren't optimized yet for our processor, and that there was a nasty bug with fstrim that could potentially hard brick our kindle by corrupting the emmc beyond repair. The bug that could do that isn't confirmed in the kindle fire HD, but it is said to affect the specific emmc that the kindle fire HD has. So yea there are a few things I'm waiting on before making the switch. Not to mention I'm happy with my os as-is right now.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremySwagS:
I hate to ask, but I'm still new to XDA and I'm still having a bit of trouble navigating. Would you post a link to where I can find CM10.1? Specifically the one meant for our KFTT? Thanks.

[HTC Droid DNA] natgear2510:
I love the Traquil DnaROM but when I started playing music from Pandora it started randomly cutting out & in. I tried WiFi & LTE. No difference. I then tried PowerAmp with sdcard music. Same problem. It sounded horrible! I have read about problems with Beats Audio causing the music to cut in & out. I made sure Beats was turned off & it made no difference. I was using beaups kernel that came with the ROM. I am now using the same kernel on ViperDNA & have no issues. Sounds great! Does anyone know the remedy to this problem? There has to be a fix somewhere that I am missing! FYI, not allowed to post in the developer forums yet. :(

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentsmithnz:
Hi,

My battery ran flat on my I9100 International GS2 I plugged it in and turned it on, it started to boot and then shut down. I left it to charge to 100% and now when I turn on I get bootloop around the Samsung logo. I suspect it's corrupted my bootloader and/or device partitions.

I'm running Stock+Root XXLSJ with Philz CWM 3.00 recovery (based on CWM 6.0.1.5)

When I boot into CWM - I get message: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last.log"

When I try to mount /cache it fails with similar message. (I also cannot mount /data. The others are OK)

When I try to wipe cache partition it fails to format it (hangs for about 10 mins saying "formatting", and then reboots my phone)

When I try to factory reset it fails to format /data (hangs for about 10 mins saying "formatting", and then reboots my phone)

So I suspect my /data and /cache are corrupt and need to be recreated.

How can I recreate these partitions?

I thought reflashing CWM might stick them back if they are missing - I tried a couple of different versions. No luck. Same errors.

I thought I'd take the opportunity to upgrade to CM10.1 RC2 - But I can't flash ROM in CWM - it fails with "Installation aborted (Status 7)"

I think I need to flash via ODIN and click the "Re-Partition" option unfortunately CM ROMS can't be flashed in with ODIN! Arrrgh! :)

So I think I need to flash another stock ROM via ODIN with re-partition option, then flash CM via CWM. It's a bit of a pain, do you think this should work (is that what repartition option does) or is there some other easier/better way?

Thanks

-KENT
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
As you've already tried dirty flashing (without wipe) your kernel (which rarely works, but worth a shot anyways), yeah, back to stock via Odin & restore backup or reflash rom/kernel & start again if you don't have recent backup.

Will this work ? It should. One bit of advice tho, I noticed you're planning to repartition.

Don't.

At least not in the first instance. Do a normal Odin flash of stock & see how that goes before you go down the repartition route. Doing that when not necessary seems to cause more bricked phones than every other cause put together.
[Sony Xperia ZL] schecter7:
Ok, I'm not asking for a Camaro from Sony - LOL. But I'd like to see a similar supercharged beast that would be the counterpart of Z1 as ZL was to Z.

Z1 is gorgeous by all means, so was Z. But I'm pretty sure some people picked ZL over Z because of its nice compact form factor, IR blaster, and different look. I understand that Z1 needs some extra surface area to carry its waterproof/dustproof status along with the huge battery. Maybe I can trade those for a more compact ZL1. - anyone else?
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
The ZL came out after Sony released the Z, so I would expect if Sony is planning to make something similar it will come in a few more months after the Z1
[Sony Xperia ZL] coolrevi:
I dont think so. I can Say that ZL was almost a failure in front of Z. considering the facts that the SONY itself is ignoring this device as we can see in privilage app, commercials, etc. Z1 Mini is on the verge of being released. So this might be a marketting factor.
[Sony Xperia ZL] schnidex:
What makes you say that the ZL was a failure?
[Sony Xperia ZL] coolrevi:
Major feature of ZL reading function in ir blaster doesn't work. The only reason why I bought this phone over Z.
[Sony Xperia ZL] einfachgaer:
I can't understand that people have problems with IR blaster... Back when I was on stock rom, I could use every function of the IR blaser. I have let it read from the original remotecontroll and not a single problem...
[Sony Xperia ZL] ChuanHong:
ya.. i wonder why ppl said that is a failure.. for me i have no problem to learn the signal and use it to remote my tv..
[Sony Xperia ZL] themanspirit:
I'm interested if it uses the same, or better, Z1 Triluminos display.

Which is proving to be much improved over the ZU Triluminos:

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1-review-983p2.php

It also has to have the 3000mAh battery.

With expected, and much needed, improved endurance in web browsing, and video playback.

Improved loudspeaker performance and quality would be.nice too.

Sure would be interesting to see just how Sony would update their most compact 5 inch Xperia.

Hopefully there's a demand, based on the limited market release of the ZL.

[Sony Xperia ZL] acsakvith:
Who say's ZL is a failure.. Its a awesome phone. nicely fitted in the pocket. Nice LED notification.. And good Loud speaker. BTW IR blaster working fine. I control my office AC.
[Sony Xperia ZL] coolrevi:
Well I own this phone. No regrets on this.
[Sony Xperia ZL] themanspirit:
Is the expected to be announced at MWC, D6503, the ZL successor we aspire for?

While I expected at least Snapdragon 800 ,Adreno 330, 3GB RAM combo with a quad-core Krait 400 upgrade.

I was hoping for the same compact form but updated design like we're seeing in E1, with updated finger print friendly back.

With a vastly more efficient, higher quality IPS LCD with same PPI, larger battery, 32GB internal storage, with higher quality internal/external loudspeaker performance.

To play a 4k content it is not mandatory to have a 4k UHD tv. My 2 year old dell n5110 can play the Elysium 4k trailer smoothly.

It is not mandatory either to have a 4k display phone to record or view 4k content. If the gpu (/ +cpu) is optimized to play a 4k content why should I bother watching it on N3. The S3 has 720p screen, does it refrain the S3 from shooting or playing 1080p content?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Spyderlotus:
Wrong.

You sir have completely lost your mind. 4K UHD is a resolution of 3840 pixels × 2160. The Samsung Galaxy note 3 has a resolution of 1920×1080. The note 3 will probably have somewhere of around 2 million pixels as a standard 1080p tv does. The 4k tv's have over 8 million pixels. While the note 3 will be able to shoot 4k resolution (3840 pixels × 2160) of the camera, the max resolution of the screen (1920×1080) can't display a higher resolution than what it's given. If the camera even on your phone shoots 1080p and the resolution on the screen is 720p then no the screen can't display the full 1080p resolution of the video. The cpu and gpu can support the shooting and playing of the video, but the screen resolution limits it and you are not watching it in 4k. If that was the case then there would be no 720p screens, 1080p screens, or 4k screens. Your right on the part of not a lot of people have 4k tv's. Most people I even mention it to don't know what 4k is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aimfire72:
^ what he said.

You need a 4k display to view content in 4k. It's like hooking up a blu ray player to an old CRT TV - yeah, it will work, but you won't be seeing the content in 1080p HD. I guess it's cool that they are future proofing the Note by making it capable of shooting 4k video, but realistically, it will be useless for most people.
