There is no answer to that. Every user has a different opinion. Flash a few, and see what happens, but I'd recommend doing a CID/SIM unlock of your device (voiding your warranty by the way) because if you upgrade to certain roms you will not be able to go backwards or CID unlock your device after the upgrade.

If you wish to retain your warranty (which no one here would understand why), then I'd recommend sticking to the authorized updates offered by htcamerica and stayin' company.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Although you could re-CID lock if it ever became necessary.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wranglers53:
Recently purchased a rooted HTC evo lte phone with cm 10.2.0 jewel on it. The problem I'm having is the ##25327# commands don't function for activating the phone. I tried switching to a lightly modified stock layout Rom and when u type the key in it dissapears so it apears I'm getting closer in choosing a Rom I can activate the phone with. I noticed this am on the forum there are stock roms and was wondering if one of these will allow me to activate the phone by still having the ## factory sprint functions built in. Or is there another way I can activate this phone? I'm going on 2 weeks now minus a phone after breaking my note 2. Any help will b a huge help. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Go on Sprint.com and start a chat with a rep. Get the MEID # from inside the rear cover, where the SD slot is located. They will get you activated. Best to be on a stock ROM so your profile and PRL can update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wranglers53:
Yea they were able to do that and tie the device to my account but the last step is reboot the phone and when it boots backup enter the ##25327# they give me which the numbers don't populate any menu for updating the plr. What I have seen is this is wiped out with modified roms. I was wondering since the phone didn't come with the stock Rom would one of the stock roms on here do the trick to get it activated and if so which one?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
Try ##72786#

To pool boot.img you need to be unlocked with custom recovery or root access.

adb shell

cat /proc/emmc

look for "boot" partition (could be mmcblk0p42)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p42 of=/data/media/0/boot.img

exit

No, unfortunately Verizon locked us out giving us an MID error on HTCdev.com

If you don't have unlimited data, and not on the Edge plan already, then you have I think until the end of today I think to be able to upgrade your phone (trading in Dna) under the edge plan, and if you upgrade and most likely your bill will not change. I had 6 gig a data a month originally and when i upgrade under the edge plan I upgrade with 10 gigs of data, and my bill did not change.

10 gigs + = -25 dollars off line access charge plus original price of 10 gigs goes from $100 down to $81

anything below i think is either $15 or $10 off line access charge.

Could you not download the dump, extracted to the same folder as adb, boot into recovery and do

adb push /system /system

It's a Google post services issue. The latest update hoses themed gmail. Try uninstalling updates to Google play services then try reinstalling gmail. You can always copy the apk from the ROM zip to the system/app folder fix permissions and reboot.

Hello,

I've searched the forums but I could not find a solution for the issue I have with my HTC One.

Since I left it fully discharge some weeks ago, the phone won't charge anymore unless Fastboot is disabled and the phone is off.

So far, I've tried the following:

- Factory Reset

- Re-flash the ROM (from an older ARHD to ARHD 31.6)

- Start phone in Safe Mode

- Hold down Power + Vol Up + Vol Down for 2 minutes

- Clean the USB port using compressed air to remove the dust

I don't know what else to try, I can't even tell if it's a hardware or a software issue.

Also, my phone is *not* being recognized when I plug it on my PC (Windows 7), so I can't use adb or fastboot.

My HTC One is the ATT variant, S-OFF, running ARHD 31.6 (4.3), below is the beginning of the Bug Report generated by the phone using the Developer option:

DEAR , with my experience, try these steps first:

1- change your USB-Mini USB cable and charger

2- put your phone in charger about 15m and dont remove

if still not charging, try these too :

try to bend the cable from the phone Jack , bend it up carefully (hold bending ) about 1m

then bend it down carefully (hold bend) about 1m,

if your battery charging appear , the problem is with the USB inside phone Jack

hope these help you

Since last year i have bought a samsung tab2 10.1 wifi only, i think the device is very slow. Especially on the touchscreen, it is not reacting very well. So i want to try a custom rom like CM 10.1

What steps must i do now, i want to backup my personal settings. Like email and facebook profiles, this can be done with KIES i've read?

I also bought a 32gb class10 SD card.

Is there a good manual or video instruction that i can use or follow?

This is great news! Proud of Verizon for making this happen
[Xperia Z2 General] BoulderGeek:
Why in the world would you want this to be true?

Verizon sucks for travelers. I have to buy phones abroad to use, because even though i have my Verizon LTE phone, unlocked, S-OFF, rooted and custom, it won't work anywhere bu the US.

I effing hate Verizon, and want the Z2 specifically to be a world phone so I never have to use Verizon again. These verndor specific models are stupid.

[Xperia Z2 General] bobbarker2:
Don't know what phone you have, but my S4 is internationally unlocked. Just pop in a SIM card and it works anywhere. Your problem is only partially to blame on Verizon.
[Xperia Z2 General] AB_:
Ah I imagine you travel overseas a lot. In that case, I can see why people won't want this. I personally don't travel much overseas unless it's for vacation, which I wouldn't want to be using my phone much for anyway.

I've been on Verizon since forever, and it's rare I get to see them get a phone like this. Verizon is usually the last to get the big name devices (which they've been fortunately changing as of late)
[Xperia Z2 General] BoulderGeek:
I'm still burned from the "flagship" HTC Thunderbolt which caused me to switch to Verizon in the first place.

I'm an IT contractor, so I do travel outside the US. I've been abroad for 13 months, between working in Antarctica and motorcycling around South America.

I am about to return to the States, and want a modern phone with open developer access and a healthy ROM community. Thunderbolt was great for a while, but died hard due to neglect from HTC and VZW.

I want to jump ship to TMobile and have a phone that will work in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Buying cheap feature phones abroad is for the birds. Though, my cheap ass dual SIM phone for South America has a TV tuner, which is awesome. But, I have been trucking around the Thunderbolt to use only on WiFi.

The US scene of crippled phones by vendor and the culture of lock-in is a serious pet peeve of mine. Sorry if i came in too harshly.

I hope the Z2 has huge success, and good pricing after intro, but I will only get the International version direct from Sony.
[Xperia Z2 General] samven582:
Why do you want this to be true? This would be the worse thing Sony can do. They really need to follow HTC when releasing new phones
[Xperia Z2 General] bobbarker2:
Distributing smartphones world-wide is not nearly so simple as simply "following HTC". It's a ton of work and it's a huge investment on the companies part. Sony hasn't bothered with the US market for years now. Recently they release phones in US 4-5 months after the rest of the world and on just T-Mobile, the smallest carrier. For them to do a US release within a reasonable time of the rest of the world and put the on the largest network would be a big change for them. It could be a step into Sony trying to re-enter the US market more aggressively. Which means more competition in the US highend smartphone market and competition = good.

Plus, I'm on Verizon and I like the Z2 much better than the One or S5.
[Xperia Z2 General] kantk20111:
It is imperitave that Sony get the US launch right. No matter how much they talk or boast about how good the phone is, no matter how good the phone might actually be, if they don't get it into the US carriers on time then it's never going to be a force to be reckoned with. The US market is the 2nd largest smartphone market, Sony have been idiots to treat it as 2nd fiddle so far. It's time for them to step up and take the market share away from HTC and Samsung, both of whose offerings this year haven't lived up to expectations. The Z2 would absolutely destroy the HTC One and GS5 if released and marketed properly.

If they screw this up again, then Sony Mobile will stay irrelevant in the large scheme of things.
[Xperia Z2 General] bobbarker2:
Well said. The Z2 is very impressive, they made substantial improvements from the Z1. Meanwhile, the S5 and M8 feel like the same exact phones with an upgraded SoC. I think Sony fixing the screen and camera issues on the Z1 and bumping up the specs is an indicator of Sony's desire to enter the US market seriously.
[Xperia Z2 General] samven582:
I'm sorry but I to disagree with you. The Xperia Z2 should not be exclusive to one carrier. Look how it turned out for them when they only released phones on AT&T then T-mobile-sales where horrible. If Samsung and HTC can release there flagship phones on all 4 carriers, I believe Sony can to. The reason Sony is having such a hard time penetrating the US market is because of the carriers but I believe thats going to change pretty soon.
[Xperia Z2 General] AB_:
I don't think anyone is disagreeing that going exclusively to Verizon would be a bad for Sony. But the ones on Verizon, like myself, are excited we're actually getting the phone when we never thought we'd have the option. I imagine anyone would be just as happy if their preferred carrier got the Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] David 617:
Exactly.

Us vzw customers get shafted left and right. We are limited to phones approved by vzw. After their Galaxy Nexus fiasco, Google didn't trust them with the nexus 4 and 5. We pretty much are stuck with Samsungs and locked up HTCs.

A Sony phone on VZW would be a refreshing alternative to the current Verizon offerings.

I understand that exclusivity would screw over other carriers, and I am in no way saying that other carriers shouldn't have it. All I want is for vzw to offer it.

ps. Can't other people just get the unlocked international version and pop in a sim? Won't that work on Tmob ATT?
