....or install a custom ROM and then unroot it, and have no problems in usage?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MICH_**:
Your phone does not have to be rooted (installed supersu.apk , superuser.apk ... ) to flash a cutom rom.

If you want to unroot any custom rom, you simply have to remove the superuser.apk / supersu.apk. And you normally wont have any problem :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
Many thanks - I want to be able to view work emails on my device, and a new policy prevents access if root is detected.

I'm familiar with flashing Samsung and Nexus devices, but HTC is new to me.

If I understand correctly, I just need to:

- Unlock device via htcdev.com

- Copy custom rom to internal storage

- Backup internal storage

- Boot to recovery (do I need to flash a custom recovery?)

- Install custom rom

Is that correct?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You will need a custom recovery, yes. Why don't you want root access?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MICH_**:
unlocking bootloader erases everything. Before you unlock the bootloader disable fastboot andenable usb debugging

Yes you need to flash a custom recovery. I did it after unlocking bootloader with cmd ("adb flash recovery recovery.img")

:)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's actually fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, adb is only when Android/recovery is running ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
Thanks guys.

Eddy - I need to check work emails on the phone, and a new security policy prevents access if root is detected.

One more Q: Is it possible for me to install stock a GPe rom to the device?

PS Eddy: Red or Blue? :) I organise this: www.rideforthe96.co.uk

Oh yes! sorry! "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :D

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
Thanks - Seems like thats the easiest way (I found info that says you need S-Off and modified CID to convert to a 'Stock GPe' rom).

EddyOS - Regarding S-Off - not something I want to do at the moment, but your sig caught my eye - I thought S-Off wasn't possible with 1.54 hboot?

about Arsenal......I'll forgive you, most of my mates down here are Gooners :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's not, I did it when on HBOOT 1.44 and it sticks when you update ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
:) I'm enjoying our start to the season while it lasts!

Anyway, back on topic, I'm actually really enjoying the stock Sense rom (pretty amazing experience comared to Touchwiz on Sammy devices), so I think I'll try a 4.3 Sense based rom. Do you have any recommendations? Ideally as close to stock with as few mods as possible.

I'm looking at a few of the available roms now, but none of them really stand out as the one to go for.

Finally - when I unlock my bootloader, the device will be wiped - so how much (if any?) of my set up and data will be saved / restored via HTC backup when I install a 4.3 sense based rom?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I actually love Sense 5 but today I've put the latest GPe build on my phone (100% stock as I have no need to root). I had a Nexus 4 before so it's nice to see a full HD stock Android build that all works as it should

Once HTC release the official 4.3 Sense update I'll go back to stock again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
Cheers Eddy, much appreciated!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MICH_**:
I am using ViperOne and i LOVE it! If you want something almost stock, i would recommend AndroidRevolutionHD :)

in my case it did not restore anything by HTC backup. I do not use it. I am setting up everything by myself when i install a new rom. (of course not contacts, etc, this is restored by my google account) :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
Great, thanks MICH
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edepot:
No possible. Unless you are S-Off, which is unlikely. You need root to install custom roms with S-Off (most likely your case).

After you install custom roms you may not like it and want to go back to stock so you can get normal upgrades to 4.2.2 or 4.3. Then you need to

relock your bootloader and flash a RUU.zip which is the stock 4.1.2.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
1.

The information you're giving people is incorrect.

2.

Why are you flooding the forum with this video?

3.

Why are you advising everyone to use an RUU?

4.

Stop it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edepot:
Oops. Typo. Let me restate it. You need root if you are S-On. You don't need root if you are S-Off.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
Still incorrect. Recoveries have root access, that is how they modify /system/. There's no need to root prior to flashing a rom, because it doesn't matter if your roms rooted when you're going to overwrite it anyway.

When people say they have root, what they mean is their rom has root access.

Recoveries have root access regardless of whether or not the rom does.

If you are rooted, and you flash an unrooted rom, you lose root.

If you are not rooted, and flash a rooted rom, you gain root.

S-off has nothing to do with this process. It is not necessary for flashing roms on the One.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edepot:
But before you can get custom recoveries like Clockworkmod into your system you need root. You need root also to do fastboot flash write commands via usb. So technically, it is still correct. You need root at some point in order to write custom roms. Either by flashing a custom recovery, or flashing a custom rom directly without recovery via usb and fastboot commands. Gotcha. The above situation would change if you have S-Off. You DON'T need root anymore because there is no more security checks on the flash writes.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
Nope. You can,

Unlock boot loader via HTC Dev.

"Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

"Fastboot reboot-bootloader"

Boot into recovery

"Adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/"

Flash rom.

Never rooted, flashed custom rom.

If you're rooted or not depends on the rom you flashed.

If you're rooted or not depends on the rom you flashed.

Also, you contradicted yourself, you said "you need root to do fastboot flash commands".

You use a fastboot command to install a custom recovery, and you need a custom recovery to root, there for it is not possible to need root to use fastboot commands. The fastboot commands come first in the rooting process.

---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

And how exactly do you flash custom Roms via fastboot?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edepot:
Come on. You are confusing things now. Unlocking bootloader is essentially getting root permission to write to the boot recovery and rom image. The reason you are asked to go to htc to unlock is because they are essentially giving you root permission to write to those three areas of flash via fastboot or adb commands. Well, its going to ignore Security checks if you are writing those three areas. Security checks are still on for the SIM and carrier stuff with S-On. With S-Off everything is off the table, so you can write to ANY partition with NO security, not just with unlocked bootloader which only gives you access to three areas.

As for recovery and rom section of the flash, are you saying once the bootloader is unlocked you can install any unsigned stuff in there? Including operating systems with root access?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Unlocking the bootloader is not giving you root access, it's unlocking the partition so you can flash what you want to it. OK, you can liken it to gaining root access but it's not actually the same as gaining root access
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twolves14:
I'm on Liquid Smooth v2.1, Android 4.2.2. No custom kernel, just whatever it comes with. Been running fine for months.

This morning I dropped my phone in my car (a few inches drop) and it went into a bootloop. It eventually booted into Android and I backed up all my apps and texts to my SD card. But afterwards it went into another bootloop and now its stuck there. It will start booting, and then restart (most of the time before the boot animation even comes up). I need to get into recovery so I can restore an older Nandroid or maybe try wiping the cache. I have tried using power/volumeup/home, but it bootloops by the time recovery is starting up. ADB on my computer will not pick up the phone. Sometimes for a few seconds it will show up, but it has an "offline" next to it and by the time I enter "adb reboot recovery" it says no device found.

If I take out the battery for 30 seconds, it makes it pretty far into the boot.

What steps should I take next? I know ODIN is last resort, but I'd prefer not to go there. Thanks guys.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aamir123:
I have a similar problem I think the power button may be the issue, when it's boring up tap on the power button with your bail as you would on a table. Also try to put your sideways with power button down that may help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twolves14:
Wow. That sounds like a possibility. Dropped from my lap to my cupholder, could've landed on the button. I'll try it in a bit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twolves14:
I was able to get it to boot for a few seconds, and the power menu kept on coming up until it died. Does the phone turn off if you hold down the power button for a long time? Seems like I gotta get that fixed. I'll try the sideways suggestion in a bit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Yeah, if you hold power and never let go, it'll reboot over and over. It's intentionally like that so if you ever have the system lock up you can still do a kind of hard reset. (Better than a battery pull, though that can still be necessary if you want it to just turn off)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twolves14:
That's what I thought. Anyone know the difficulty of repairing this myself? Or a cost estimate? Holding the button at an angle seems to make it work for a bit. Sideways didn't help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I've heard there's some YouTube vids that may help. I've seen a few people say they were able to do it themselves.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aamir123:
this seems like a similar job for the s2, I would imagine that the s3 is very much like this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0xMMn1DRWs
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twolves14:
Anyone know if I were to remove the power button completely, would the phone work without it? I don't really need it, and removing it would make the phone usable. Just wanna make sure the phone doesn't run a check or something. I'll order a new power button in the spare time and install it later.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aamir123:
it'll prolly work but if phone shuts off not sure if you will be able to turn it back on without a power button, what I did for the time being is get the phone of and basically tap on the side of the phone with the power button towards the floor kind of like trying to get gravity to push the power swith inside to be back to the normal position. Then don't touch the power button, there are apps in the play store that can function as your power button.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twolves14:
Yeah, I watched a YouTube video and he fixed it like that. So I basically hammered the button as hard as I could with my nail for a minute straight and now it doesn't bother me anymore until you press it. I can live without the power button, but I'm probably going to have to remove/replace it since I can't risk bumping into the button on accident. Thanks for the help though!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twolves14:
Does anyone know of a method to turn the phone on without the power button? I know on my Nexus One you could Insert the battery while it was charging to force a reboot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Afaik you'll just have to restart every time till it's fixed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twolves14:
Yes, but how would I go about restarting it without the button?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
There's apps in the play store. Button savior might be one. Can't recall names for sure.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] twolves14:
My bad, I meant starting the phone from powered off state.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I honestly don't know of any way to do that....sorry.

[HTC Desire X] bubakovsky:
Few weeks ago, I dropped my DX too, although damage was less. I read about digitizer replacement on HTC devices (in general) and I read it's not that easy as on Samsung devices. One guy tried to replace digitizer and he ended up with broken LCD panel. You can also buy whole module (LCD screen + digitizer) but it's like a roll of a dice - you can get good lcd and you can get bad lcd too. It's a risk. You can send it to local repair centre. I was told it would cost about 100-120€. From then, I knew, I have to live with that broken screen. lol :)
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:

Hard to replace

I've tried to replace the touch screen (only the glass). In eBay it's about 25$ or something like that.

It hard, very hard to replace. I've ended with a broken LCD, because when try to separate the glass from LCD, LCD broke.

For me, it's better to replace the whole screen, not only the glass. I've seen it for 51$ in eBay, but worth it.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] atekant:
OK! That seemed to work, but it still gets stuck at the bootup screen (except now it shows the new radio version).

The update program asks for a hard reset, but others in another thread mentioned they did not need a hard reset after this update.

Is there something else I can try before trying a hard reset?

I just spent a week to set the damned thing to the way I like, and don't want to do all that again.

How long does it take for yours to show some activity after the rom versions are displayed?

It does take longer for this device to bootup, but I wonder if the new rom made a difference there.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dherrero:
Usually the blue boot screen disappears in 30 seconds. But when i installed pocket plus many times it keeped freezed and a had to reset 3 o 4 times.

Is your case?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] atekant:
Hmm. I don't have pocket plus, but I have the spb gprs monitor (or whatever it is called) at the startup. Maybe that's causing a problem with the new radio.

I will reset 3 - 4 more times and then do a hard reset.

If it does not come back from hard reset, the bawling you hear all the way out there is me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dherrero:
he he . I ve spb gprs monitor too and it works fine.

good luck :wink:

When perform soft reset, wait 1 or 2 minutes before doing other soft reset
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] atekant:
OK, now it is time to cry.

It is not coming back from hard reset either.

It is officially a brick. Any more ideas? Please?
