[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Evera:
Hey, I'm currently using the old 2.17 ROM on my Cingular 8125, and I'm looking to upgrade it.

I've read some hints of a newer ROM, and I would like to know what the best and newest ROMs out there for my Cingular 8125, and your opinions on it.

I also have quite a bit of stuff on my phone, and I would like an easy backup software, so I can backup to my SD card, without affecting the files currently on it, and then loading the software again, and loading the backup, so my phone is like before, but with a new ROM. Are there any good software titles for this?

Thanks.

--edit

Does anyone have software to export contacts in the phone's memory to SIM?

Hey everyone! I'm having issues booting my phone up. It might be bricked because one night my phone was working and the next morning it wouldn't boot at all after having not made any changes. I've messed around with it a lot, installing and wiping things. Anyway, I'd just like to make sure I've exhausted all attempts at getting the thing to boot again.

I am S-On, and have tried to use rumrunner to get s-off but was getting an error saying no adb connection. I wasn't able to turn off fastboot as instructed since I can't boot, but I have been able to run some adb commands. I get error: device not found sometimes and error: closed others. I have been using the windroid toolkit. I have tried running the ruu exe (yes, I first relocked) but got an error 155 and my bootloader said "HBoot Version is older!" I have installed several OTA roms and they seem to install properly through the recovery (I have been using TWRP, CWM and amonRa) but then do not make it to home screen. I had some progress where I was initially getting stuck at the white HTC screen, after flashing a kernel, I think it was, I made it to the 4G LTE screen but then it hung up there.

Hmm, I've done a lot of searching and trying things, but hopefully yall can help! I appreciate your efforts either way :)

Here are my getvars from fastboot

You need to get it bootable before you can S-OFF with Rumrunner... Unlock the bootloader again, boot or flash your recovery of choice (TWRP/PhilZ/CWM), wipe EVERYTHING thoroughly, at least 3 times, then flash in Tachyon to get it up and working (if you flashed the recovery and started it from the phone, remember to manually push the boot.img with fastboot). Give it time to boot, the first boot can take 10+ minutes in some cases. Once it is booted and stable, then you can try to S-OFF again.
[HTC Rezound] JMBush1007:
Hi acejavelin, thanks for the reply!

So, I was finally able to get it to boot again.. I put evervolv on it and then ran rumrunner once I had it booted. After running and getting most of the way through rumrunner, I got stuck in another boot loop. It seemed like rumrunner corrupted it or something. I couldn't it to book back up at that point, but I am now showing s-off! Not sure if it's possible to be halfway s-off or showing s-off but not, but the rumrunner never finished it got to pouring (2)... so I don't know.

Right now, I have evervolv on again (after trying many others) and it seems to be somewhat stable. I'm thinking I have a hardware issue. Something seems to be faulty and only working half the time. I tried a few different RUUs, OTA global rooted roms, etc.. Tachyon, cleanrom 4.5 pro, plain andy, carbon, etc. I have also been using Cleanwipe 10x before flashing new roms. Everything is unstable, so unfortunately, like I said, it seems to be hardware.

I have another rezound that has a bad ESN because I thought it was stolen, til I found it months later. It looks difficult, but possible to change the ESN.. I was thinking I could just switch the ESN and MEIDs and use the other phone? Any other suggestions on how to isolate the issue or find some stability would be very much appreciated. Thanks for the help!
[HTC Rezound] kcipopnevets:
Glad you got your answer! Also, cloning your IMEI and ESN is illegal and a major criminal offense. I suggest you don't go down that route.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
The result you got with rumrunner is very common, not sure exactly what it corrupts (probably the boot partition) but it is common to for it to freeze/bootloop after going S-OFF, as long as it's S-OFF in the bootloader, it is S-OFF... there is no "kinda S-OFF". Just restore the backup you did before running rumrunner (you did a Nandroid first, right:) ) or reflash your ROM and Gapps, no worries, this is kinda normal.

As far as the "most stable" ROM, this seems to vary a lot on the person, configuration/apps, ROM, and hardware build, some ROMs are better than others under various conditions and trial and error is the only real way to find out. Some Rezounds just do not like KitKat, others don't like JellyBean, etc... so if are having lots of issues with one, try a different one. A few ROMs you didn't mention that I think are very good on the Rezound are EclipticRez Revamped v9 (this is the most stable non-stock ROM I tried) and Nils Business Sense that are both ICS based, Beanstalk and Talon are two really good under-rated JellyBean ROMs just remember that some JB ROMs can swap your internal and external storage around in mounts (they appear swapped when the phone is booted, this is not really a bug if you see it). But to be honest, if you are flashing http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2260154 or gone through [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION]'s full downgrade/upgrade guide and are still having issues, it could very well be hardware issues.

And yes, [MENTION=5474827]kcipopnevets[/MENTION] is correct... ESN/MEID swapping is illegal, although I don't know how much of a "major criminal offense" it is. But generally it is considered fraudulent activity and a violation of your terms of service on your cellular plan as well.

So, I was just hear playing with my phone on the couch and thought to myself, an 8 inch or bigger version of this would be awesome as a tablet. This is what android needs; a premium built tablet with boom sound speakers and a minimalist skin on top of stock android. I have gone back and forth between an iPad Air and nexus 7 for the past few months and neither one of them completely satisfies. Although, many find enjoyment with the size of the Nexus or simplicity of the iPad, I find myself wanting the perfect in between; an android tablet in the body of an iPad. What are your thoughts?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] YoungAceAtlanta:
It's a great idea and i hope HTC decides to get back into the tablet market. The last time HTC released a tablet it was beyond overpriced if you ask me. The HTC Jetstream exclusive to AT&T for $800.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] txtech89:
I think if HTC does a tablet. It needs to be non exclusive, sell WiFi options and have carrier based versions. And don't skimp on specs.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] aiwapro:
I like Android, and have had it since the original Galaxy, but the Surface Pro 2 from Microsoft is quite nice. It's not cheap, but built very well. They thought of almost everything on the hardware side. The software is nice as well. The RT 2 is less expensive, but I'm not sure exactly how close it comes to the Pro 2 version. Both Surfaces are certainly worth a trip to Best Buy or The Microsoft Store.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TheEmpyre:
Read an article that claims HTC is making the next Nexus tablet for Google. Wish I had the link but I read it this morning. Won't be sense, but it'll be a HTC tablet lol

Is it true?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
I would like to see a 12 htc one max tablet with stereo boom speakers. And with a real good processor not some dual core piece of ancient tech. I dont know why so many tablets have slow old processors. Actually I would prefer it be windows based because android you only get 2 years of updates at max then your forgotten and expected to buy new, where windows is always update able so two years later your not stuck with an old out of date operating system. Like give me a break make them worth keeping more than 2 years and not be disposable. How many old tablets do you see for sale that have android 4.0, 4.1 or even 4.2 because they are basically disposable when they get out dated and you cant update them, that is why windows tablets are a better investments. Now phones dont matter as most of use update every year or 2 at max, but tablets we want to keep longer.

I am running the stock rom and flashed the new firmware last night ( 1.55.605.2 ) and am interested in running a rom that is based off of an older firmware. Is there any problem in doing this? Will it roll my firmware back to the old one?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sparky_005:
I'm currently running the old version of SkyFall (1.3) based on the old firmware, and I updated my firmware today with no problems. So it should be fine, though ymmv. But whatever ROM you want to run will probably be updated soon anyway.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
I can't remember exactly where I read it but somewhere in the myriads of posts about this OTA it is pointed out that with different hboots, recoveries, kernels and modifications to system files, framework etc. etc. it is almost inevitable that something may go awry.

If you have taken the trouble and time to migrate to a custom ROM, it usually makes sense to let your dev sort things out. On the other hand, if you aren't experiencing any problems with the new firmware, why roll back?

Beamed from the holodeck of my Nexus 7 FHD.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Joeysface:
It's not so much that I am having issues as I am wanting to try a rom that is showing based on the older firmware and I don't want to cause any issues with that. On a related note, I am running the stock rom currently and flashed the firmware that Santod posted in RUU but my firmware shows that it is still the 1.12.605.11 even though hboot shows me on 1.55.605.2. Did I botch something?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
See if my post here answers your question/concern.

I urge you to read more of that thread if you have more questions or concerns, as most of them have been answered there.

And for reference:

Old software with new firmware is almost always fine.

Running new software with old firmware is when real issues usually arise.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Joeysface:
Hey thanks for replying man, I haven't messed too much with manually flashing firmware and didn't want to screw something up. So does the OTA have some software elements to it as well because I've noticed that people who took it are showing the updated firmware and an "Official" or "Unofficial" status in their settings? I've read through a lot of the forums and saw the post you linked to I just wasn't sure if what you were referring to in that post was the same thing as flashing a rom that shows a specific firmware.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] santod040:
G

Firmware is just firmware.

It's not a Rom. It's something that gets updated with the ota that cannot be flashed in a custom Rom.

So before updating to a newer software version based on the update it's best to flash the firmware as well or you just get the software and no firmware by flashing just the Rom.

The firmware is at a lower level on the device and persists through Rom flashing unless you take an ota or flash an ruu.

When running custom roms it's general rule of thumb not to take otas.

Less issues that way.

So to update everything like you would had you taken the ota, you flash firmware and software to be up to date.

In other words, I've provided the firmware part of the OTA.

You just need someone to post a rooted version of the software update now.

Few days earlier I started to notice this problem after 5 months of use of my device. My screen starts rapidly shaking left to right and front touch panel stop working, it happen when I freshly open an apps. To temporarily fixed it, I have to press power button to turn off the screen. Is it a hardware or software problem?
[LG Optimus G (International)] patalao:
Did you flashed any rom or kernel?

Do you use trickster?

Some people sayed that uninstalling trickster solved their ghost touches on the keyboard (may not work in your case).

I had a similar problem and was because of a kernel.

If you had modified anything try to use stock for a while and see if the problem persist

I bought it on ebay. Screen+touch+ frame. This option:

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111278902215

But You can buy other options.

1. Touch + screen+ frame (medium dificult)

2. Touch + screen without frame (best option)

3. Only touch screen. (very dificult option)

Many people have told me that the best option is 2, without frame to not be taking off parts that are originally attached to the frame.

Ghost Touch now keeps rapidly pulsing at the buttom edge of my screen (portrait) my phone is sometimes uncontrollable. I never thought this kind of newer high end device gets broken so easily under short period of time. I never experienced this from my good old Galaxy Y, Xperia mini and X8 that I accidentally deep under water even now still working in mint condition. So sad with LG products. I was planning to buy LG G Pad but because of this I probably get Nexus 7 instead.

Im going to sell this for $155

Reflash it again with stock firmware twice, problem still persist :(

Its now a hardware issue
[LG Optimus G (International)] yawako:
Touch screen seems deteriorating overtime. At first Ghost Touch, then on the next day a dead touch portion just above the home screen panel where the ghost touch first occurred rapidly moving back and then after few days a ghost touch appeared again just below in the middle of the screen (portrait) then after an hour probably about 1.5mm size thickness dead touch. Now a I have 2 horizontal dead touch portion of my screen and probably more to come if I keep using it.

Few days ago i'v got first phaton/ghost touch problem. I used Omni 4.4.4 so

[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
OK, this is freakin' weird... :confused:

I have been running KitKat on my F180S pretty much from the time it got released (different versions: full stock, VDT, Sling...). Yesterday, out of the blue, my digitizer started getting crazy with ghost touches in the upper portion of the screen (around the strip where Q-slide apps usually are in the notification shade, or the clock area on a weather widget where most people have it). This made the phone 100% unusable, as it was constantly registering touches. Rebooted to recovery to do a factory reset, and the problem was persistent in the recovery, too (I am using PhilZ Touch). So, at that point it looked like a hardware issue to me. To clear my consciousness, I opened the phone, disconnected the digitizer, cleaned the connectors, plugged it in again. No dice. :( Still, I thought about reflashing a full stock KDZ, just for the heck of it (no root, no custom recovery, locked BL). Here is what happened:

1. F180S V30c KitKat - same problem.

2. F180S V30b KitKat (downgraded a notch) - same problem.

3. F180S V20n Jelly Bean - everything is working fine, no ghost touches. Huh?!? :eek:

4. Rooted V20n, unlocked BL (Mako method) and flashed CWM using FreeGee - no problem, everything is still OK.

5. Flashed my favourite JB ROM - no problem, everything is still OK.

So, the phone is now running on rooted JB, with unlocked BL and CWM recovery, with no touchscreen problems whatsoever. I may try going to KK again at some point, but will just leave it for now, as I need a stable working phone.

WTF??? I am just scratching my head, trying to understand where the issue came from. It appears to be directly related to KitKat, since eliminating unlocked BL and custom recovery didn't solve the issue, but going back to JB (either full stock, or unlocked BL with CWM) totally cured it. The most bizarre thing is that it started out of nowhere, as I didn't do anything to my phone recently, apart from installing some apps here and there...
[LG Optimus G (International)] FcoEnrique:
Kinda like my situation.

I have the sprint version of the phone,in every kitkat GEE ROM I have ghost touches, but not in Gproj kitkat ROMs neither in stock or JB.

some weird sh*t is happening here lol
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Yeah... But at least in your case the problem seems to be consistent. :) I was using my phone without any issues, and then it just crapped out for no apparent reason. Nothing changed, same ROM that was working fine before...
[LG Optimus G (International)] FcoEnrique:
It started the same way for me.
[LG Optimus G (International)] j4yd3n:
....

The same thing happened to me. Are you guys familiar with Sky Vega phones? I had a Vega Iron before and also it began having ghost touch issues after upgrading to kitkat. I was frustrated, i also flashed any custom rom i could search and no luck at all. I just sold it recently! :( and i heard this ghost touch issue is also a common on Nexus 4.:rolleyes:

Hello everybody,

I have the same problem with my LG - ghost touch and dead zones on the display. First installed the ROM from this link - http://xdaforums.com/opti...te-10-t2811342 , but the issue still exist.

Then change the display with a new one. Dead zones vanished but ghost touch doesn't. Tried some other ROMs even the original stock ROM.

When I installed the new display the ghost touch is mostly when I use Facebook Messenger.

What can I do in this situation?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] GSXR6:
I know there are numerous members including myself, that have updated to KK 4.4.2, and just experienced nothing but crap, in comparison to 4.3, which we cannot go back to. But, luckily there is a Galaxy Note 3/Galaxy S4/Nexus 5 god somewhere. They have heard our complaints about the srewed-up update released, and are currently working on the fix, which will be named 4.4.3. This update will fix numerous issues, involving the most talked about, camera and data drops......ps. connection drops, etc. I've read they are currently testing the update, so in other words, they jumped right on it. I hqve been suffering from the 4.4.2 sickness every since the update, wishing I could, or someone find a way to go back to 4.3. I just recently updated my Galaxy S 4, not aware of the troubles, but didnt run full testing method to ensure that I respected the update. I just immediately fell In love with the smoothness and speed, unaware of the crap under the covers. And then I got bold and updated my Beast of Hardware, the Note 3...........and was overwhelmed by the lack of tlc of the update. But threw all the rebooting, the battery pulls, the waiting for sitez to load, the non responsive buttons, they are working to fix this horrible experience. Thanks you Android for wasting time, but at least aorking to fix the problems. Upon release of the fix, I cant wait to see the sweetness the Dev's bring to the table with the new OS fix.
