I have managed to unlock my phone, but I cannot root it! I simply want to flash a ROM from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1987885

Please help me. I have rooted an HTC Vivid once before, but my knowledge on rooting is very small.
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
There is no need to root just to flash a custom rom, just unlock bootloader, flash a custom recovery and flash the rom. The custom rom will come with root access enabled.
[HTC One X+] surfatwork:
1. A good way to go about rooting your phone would be to have a look around the forum, and see if any help topics have been posted. Even the most cursory look will likely get you what you seem to be looking for.

2. If you have done the above, then do tell us what you have tried, where you got to, and what error'ed out. That would help people help you.

A wrong way to go about this business would be to post a new topic in the help subforum, asking someone to help you root, without having done any of the above.
[HTC One X+] broncosfan007:
Sorry about that. I attempted to flash several ROMs and managed to somehow delete my os. I was able to restore my phone with a RUU after 12 hours of trying to bring it back lol. My phone is currently relocked. I would love to put a ROM with sense 5 on my phone, but I am worried about bricking my phone again. I tried to find threads to help me, but I for some reason was unable to find a thread that actually explained how to root, and put a custom ROM on the HTC One X+. If someone could explain step-by-step how to approach this I would very much appreciate the help.
[HTC One X+] broncosfan007:
So after I've unlocked my phone where would I go to flash the custom recovery, and flash the ROM?
[HTC One X+] surfatwork:
Download and copy across a Sense 5 ROM - I use Insertcoin and its great

Just use Hasoon's toolkit to unlock your phone and flash TWRP. your old unlock.bin should work

reboot into recovery, wipe (dont format your storage), and flash the ROM

flash the boot image

Done
[HTC One X+] broncosfan007:
I've been doing some reading, and I think I'm an idiot lol. I heard there isn't a sense 5 ROM for AT&T non-international yet (though I could be wrong), and I'm pretty sure that's what my phone is.
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Download whatever recovery .img you wan't, and the custom rom.

Copy the custom rom to your internal storage.

Then just boot into fastboot and use the command "fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img" reboot into recovery and flash rom.

---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------

Your right. There are no sense 5 roms yet for the AT&T/Telus version of the HOX+
[HTC One X+] broncosfan007:
Yeah.... Not going to lie that sucks.... Lol I really wanted the sense 5... Oh well.

Thank you for your help!
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
I went back to sense 4+ because i didn't like sense 5 :p

I didn't like the fact that whenever i let someone use my phone. The first thing there greeted with when the turn it on, is my whole personal life .... aka Blinkfeed lol
[HTC One X+] broncosfan007:
Haha you're lucky that you have the option. Idk I just get tired of the same thing after a while lol. I like change haha.

I was getting bored of the stock Sony boot animation on my XZ and decided it was time for a change!

So I took the boot animation from the Galaxy S4 Google Edition and replaced the Google logo with the Xperia logo using Photoshop :)

Hope you like it!

It works on any firmware on the Z, ZL and ZU.

Installation using CWM/TWRP (ROOT IS REQUIRED!):

Download and flash the XperiaGoogleBootAnimation.zip file from the bottom of this post, simples. ;)

Or if you don't have a custom recovery (AGAIN ROOT IS REQUIRED!):

Download bootanimation.zip from the bottom of this post

Copy it to your SD card (internal or external)

Using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, move the downloaded bootanimation.zip to /system/media and overwrite when prompted.

Make sure the permissions are set to rw- r-- r--

Reboot and enjoy! :D

To revert to the stock boot animation:

Flash the StockXperiaBootAnimation.zip file from the bottom of this post using CWM or TWRP.

Please ask me first if you want to use it in your ROM.

Can I use it on 4.4.4?
[General Topics] CJSnet:
Hi, I am using ActiveSync 4 with Windows Mobile 5 on the HTC Universal Pocket PC.

I have 565 Contacts in Outlook, however Activesync only leaves about 100 on the device after the 2nd sync (all 565 copy successfully on the 1st sync).

I also have many Mobile Favourites organised into folders on the PC. Again, only a fraction of them ever stay on the device after the 2nd sync.

I have tried:

Deleting the partnership on the PC and PPC

Checking the Contacts filters

Copying all my Contacts on Outlook to a new folder to delete them from the PPC

Recopying them back to Contacts to recreate them on the PPC (works until 2nd sync)

Manually copying Favourites to the device (they appear correctly until the next sync)

Rebooting device between all the above

Please could somebody help?
[General Topics] coercri:
I dont know if applies to you but, it did to me; if any of the contacts in Outlook on your computer have pictures for the comtact it wont copy them back across.

I noticed this after setting up my contacts, mostly with pictures, then I had to do a Hard Reboot, and the contacts with pictures would sync back to the phone.

I had to remove all the pics from the contacts on my computer, then sync, then put the pics back on - major hassle.
[General Topics] CJSnet:
Thanks but I only have a few with pics and they sync'd fine. Any other ideas?
[General Topics] AndyCr15:
I don't think I have any photo's on my contacts... but none of them sync, even though Activesync says all is done?

I just created a test contact on the M5000 and it wouldn't sync it back to my PC.

Anyone any ideas?
[General Topics] CJSnet:
I ended up moving all Contacts out of my Contacts folder in Outlook and onto a desktop folder, then deleting the partnership in ActiveSync, then recreating the partnership, and finally dragging the Contacts back into my Outlook Contacts folder. They all copied to the device and have stayed put.

Strangley enough, I disconnected and reconnected and all seems fine...
[General Questions and Answers] Ev1dence:
Hi all,

In a few days, I will be moving from my HTC Desire HD to my new HTC Butterfly S 901S. There is a lot of data including (of course) a lot of rubbish (dead files, leftovers from apps I already de-installed a long time ago) on my 32GB microSD card in my current HTC Desire HD. I already installed a lot of custom roms on my HTC Desire HD, back then I also needed to create a gold card for my HTC Desire HD and I use AppMgr III (App 2 SD).

Do you think it will be a problem to just put my microSD card from my HTC Desire HD into my new HTC Butterfly S 901S? Or would it mess with my new smartphone so that I would need to clean it up and, especially, delete certain files because they could cause errors?

Thank you very much in advance.

All the Best,

Ev1dence
[General Questions and Answers] gregbradley:
It will be absolutely fine, but I normally give mine a clean up when changing phones for good.

All I really want to keep are images and music but I often just put my sdcard into someone elses phone and its fine
[General Questions and Answers] Ev1dence:
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with me.

Just generally cleaning up the microSD card is a good idea, anyway, I agree. However, it seems like I need to well analyse which app data I still need (e.g. the WhatsApp folder on my microSD card or MapsWithMe maps data) and which not :/

Thanks,

How did you end up with a "testing version" of the software?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] octojofo:
I am hoping someone here will have mercy on me with my newb dilemma and give it the time for an answer.

I am a recent Galaxy S4 user- only 3 days ago (after 6+ years of jailbreaking every iPhone they've made.) So I am admittedly a bit new to all of this...

My S4 is a on a Sprint carrier, L720...MDC

Day 1: I rooted it, successfully (using Odin and CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.tar)

Later that day I flashed it with TWRP with a Wifi-tether workaround I got from downloadandroidrom.com. Everything I used was quite specifically for my model phone, carrier, modexed, etc... Still, after flashing I ended up in a start-up loop. (would hang at the startup Samsung logo)

Day 2: Things became difficult at this point since I had no more internet access. I needed to go research this at a friends and downloaded the STOCK rom in order to recover. After flashing the Rom I was back in biz! Yay!

...Or so I thought- Seems NOW I have no option in my settings panel for Wifi tether "Hotspot" AT ALL. It is no longer there! How can this be? I have tried flashing to stock and re-rooting, etc a bunch of different things but I cannot get it back. It WAS there because I tried it day one, before rooting, just to see what it would do. It clearly had "Hotspot" with a toggle between the WiFi and Bluetooth toggles.

I tried every app I could find (FoxFi, Easy Tether, etc...) but the phone warns me that "Hotspot not supported"

Day 3: I asked around and browsed all the developer sites for info but could find no answers.

At the end of the day I tried CWM's "Tether" app. THIS WORKED!

So my questions:

ARE there any ROMs I can flash this particular phone with? I can't seem to find ANY that specifically mention my firmware etc... (except the stock)

IS that even important? Can I flash it with Wicked, for instance?

What would YOU try in order to gain a hotspot? (untethered)

Thanks for ANY help or advice you can offer!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
Yes you can tether.

Yes you can tether with MDC.

Yes you can tether with just a rooted stock ROM.

Yes there are ROMs that have tethering built in.

First thing you might want to do is spend some time going through the stickies and how-tos. They are very helpful.

Then maybe getting your phone to the latest firmware - MF9 (there are a few stickies and posts about that).

I use crawrj's hotspot mod on my phone (MF9) without issue.

Maybe just try a rooted stock MF9 and then add the hotspot and then go from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
On the stock ROM, the wifi tether hotspot option will show up only after you allow sprint customization to run. If you installed the stock ROM, and skipped the sprint customization, the wifi tether option won't show up.

Once you get the wifi tether option, you can go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2256950 to download the appropriate version (MDC/MDL/MF9 - odexed/deodexed) to flash in custom recovery - that will give you the hotspot mod.

If you want to go to stock MF9 (latest version for the Sprint S4), go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277480
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] octojofo:
Thanks!

I may be asking this prematurely since I am going to read up more on this per your advice, but I am curious about how I was supposed to "allow the customization to run."

I used the Odin installer and it just went through a loading process, more-or-less on it's own. I have reloaded the stock ROM a few times now and I saw no prompts for anything, though I had the Auto-restart option checked so it just restarted and I went from there. Should I not have had the auto restart on? At what point do I allow this customization?

TIA

PS. I was thinking a bit more about it and are you possibly talking about the "updating" to applications that occurs at first startup? 160-something updates as I recall in a blue modal dialog... This happens even after just TWRKing the hotspot zip though, so I am not sure it could be that- but if so, I have never interrupted that. I would be afraid to! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] chosenhobo:
I'm having the same issue as OP, and like him, I don't exactly understand what everyone is saying by the "Sprint customization".. I've flashed multiple times but I never get any prompt from Sprint or anything, just the standard setup for my Google account.

I've tried searching all over about this, but there doesn't seem to be that much on this unfortunately...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
Correct a mundo on that. DONT stop that.

I have no idea what the 'sprint custmization' thingy he's talking about. May just the 'updating applications' but I don't know.

If you clear the dalvik cache, which the updater script for the hotspot mod does, or do it manually, you will always see that 'updating applications...' that is the system building the dalvik.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] chosenhobo:
Our issue isn't getting crawrj's mod to work, it's that there is literally no "Hotspot" button in our settings menu. I'm using Sac's custom ROM right now and the selection is missing for me as well. I had it for my old MF9 stock version, so I have no idea where it went...

From the few people who've had this same issue, it's what jj14 said about needing to let Sprint run their "customization", but I'm never being prompted by Sprint to let anything install on my phone after various resets, so I'm quite lost...

Such a frustrating roadblock, got the mod and everything, just literally can't "turn it on". Because, well... The button. Isn't there. :/

None of the standard apps i used on the GN2 work either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
Much of that issue discussed in crawj's thread and in a few others.

Though I don't have hotspot in my dropdown/menu/status bar I DO have it in the System Settings>Connections>Hotspot.

All I have to do is turn it on and it works (and of course I can then adjust any settings.).

I did try some of the things suggested (like adjusting stuff in the dbase(s) tables) in the follow-up posts to get it to show in the drop down, but never got that. Again just a VERY minor thing for me. As long as I can actually USE the tether/hotspot I'm good.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
All right sport, don't know what else to tell. Have fun with that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
Sorry about the delay in responding - was out of town.

When you flash the stock ROM, after the reboot, the phone does one update from Sprint. I'm told that this is the one that loads Sprint's bloat (sprint zone, sprint ID etc), along with the activation, and it is during this update, that the hotspot feature is made available on the phone.

(and I'm not referring to the Updating applications" message - that is just the android OS rebuilding the cache.

On a related note, I found this link - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44779759 - you can try this out to see if this helps.

I'm pretty sure that Sprint's customization process doesn't run on most custom ROMs - the hotspot feature should be built into the custom ROM directly - if it is missing, you may want to reach out the developer and ask for suggestions/workarounds.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevoryour:
I haven't seen any other posts about this so i'm hoping I'm not the only one. My Nexus 7 is rooted but is not running any custom roms. Whats happening is that I put the tablet down at like 95% battery remaining and when I pick it up the next day it will be at about 30%. When I look at the battery usage "Android OS" is the number consumer with something like 70% of use.

I found a post stating that turning off Wifi Optimization would fix this but it hasn't seem to help me. Anyone know what I can look at to see whats causing the battery drain? Having to charge it daily kind of sucks when I only use it for maybe 15 minutes or so a day.

After my last bad experience with Xperia zl and after reading how other people have experienced issues after rooting their note 3 I was wondering if rooting has any adverse effects on the phones functionality. What are cons of rooting?

There's bit of lag on note 3 which is really annoying for such a beast.

Any advice would be much appreciated thanks

I own international N9005 model from O2 unlocked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kevinrocksman:
root it, that is all.

Forget what everyone says about problems, Even if you were to brick this thing it can be restored to stock through odin. I have been screwing with this thing since it came out and my team has done quite a bit to it. Ones even working on a full rom atm.

Just do it!​
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
If you use the CF-AutoRoot method and follow the directions step by step (perhaps also remove SIM-Card and SD-Card before setting the phone in download mode and running Odin) then you should have a flawless experience, it took me less than 10 minutes out of the box and I was rooted and ready to go.

Chainfire and QbKing77 have put together comprehensive guides on rooting the Note 3 for just about every provider. Just make sure you choose the correct .tar file for your phone model.

Root your device at your own risk. Using this root method sets current binary and system status to custom. Additionally, it will also trigger the KNOX warranty void status. The KNOX warranty status change is permanent, and a service center may deny warranty based on this flag – even if the other flags are reset correctly. The KNOX flag being tripped may also prevent certain Samsung KNOX features from working (enterprise security features).

If you're worried about the losing your warranty, wait for a KNOX workaround, or a potential TriangleAway update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
Not sure if you're referring to my suggestion. The reason I recommend removing the SD-Card and SIM-Card is to prevent the chance of ODIN wiping any data from them. An old habit but prevention is the best solution. Bricks are no fun.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phyba:
Also remember that restoring does not work with the note 3 yet so nandoids don't work and if u do a restore, u will not be able to Odin back to stock from what I've read. I will wait until all the kinks are worked out

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] demetrios3:
My Advice: Root it. If it bricks, Return it. YOU SHOULD HAVE 14 DAYS

If you bought the phone retail you should have 14 days to return the phone. The Black Note 3 that I picked up from Best Buy on Friday was an upgrade from Sprint. I tooled around with it, rooted and installed a customer recovery on Saturday and tried to install a ROM yesterday. Things went awry and I ended up with a brick Black Note 3 and rather then waste time trying to unbrick it I returned it to BestBuy this morning and exchanged it for the white model.

Some might argue that it's not cool to do that because the phone will be relegated to pre owned status and Sprint/Samsung will have to write of the depreciated value of a two day old as a loss.

I don't care though because I signed a 2 year contract with Sprint and they'll screwing me for a lot more and for a much longer them then I could have ever screwed them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kevinrocksman:
What does this have to do with the original question asked... Also if your to lazy to unbrick this phone which is only about 10 clicks and 10 minutes long then that's not very impressive to me. A lot of respect is lost in this post.. I may not agree with sprints prices but still that's not cool
