Sure but this forum is dedicated to people who do want to learn. So use a toolkit, but don't ask here for help when it goes wrong and refuse to learn when we point in the right direction.

Surely there is skill involved in writing Toolkits but it amazes me that some people still do it. Wasted talent IMHO. Let them come here and help the idiots who refuse to learn.

I don't see why not wanting to waste my time teaching Muppets to fish is snobbery. Can't root? DON'T root!

Some people can fly aeroplanes. Some cannot. Those who can, learned. Those who won't learn, shouldn't.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Yes. But it affects us all. They ask here for help but it's difficult to explain how to fix things because they have no clue. I can ignore these threads of course but there sometimes are so many of them, that actually coming here is undesirable.

So yes, they can make their own decisions, however when we strongly urge them not to, it's for their own good AND the greater good

The amount of Toolkit related "fix me" threads I've seen since 4.4.3 is ridiculous. I'm considering leaving for a while

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
The number of people asking for help after using a toolkit is less than the number of people who tried to do something manually and screwed up. By far. Some people should stick to using tookits and not try to do things themselves. XDA is not simply for developers anymore. It has moved beyond that and now is a resource for people who don't want to spend time learning all about adb but who want to take advantage of the capabilities of their phone. There is a place for toolkits and toolkit users on this forum.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Disagree 100% with everything you've just said.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wund3rground:
Yes, that's the problem. They don't want to learn, and then when the toolkit fails them they're on here crying about it. Especially when the steps they they need to take to fix the issue are probably 3 threads above theirs. Hell, people still don't use search so I guess ADB/Fastboot is out of the question...

Reading Threads

People who use toolkits would be better off reading some good threads in XDA and elsewhere that explain in detail what the toolkit would do.

It might also give them a better perspective on why things sometimes break.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Toolkits were great back in the day when you had to hold your phone oriented towards the sun and hop twice on each foot while booting up to achieve root. They actually guided users through the process, because back then, there actually WERE enough steps and catches that you had to pay attention to what you were doing or you ended up with a shiny doorstop in a matter of seconds.

Nowadays, they're just unnecessary and unnecessarily feed the "just do it for me" mindset that has become increasingly prevalent on XDA. Achieving root by yourself is so easy if you spend the 5 minutes it takes to register and post your "HALP HALP I NEED DA ROOT" thread reading up on how to use the basic commands to root and what they are exactly doing to your device. And as another side point, the toolkit you're using could be injecting whatever it wants into your phone since you decided to take the "press this button and wait" approach.

We are not asking that you go learn how to port AOSP or write an app before rooting your device. But making the tiniest concerted effort to learn what it is you're doing to your $600+ chunk of circuitry and micro processors would save all of us the time of reading up on YOUR "brick NEED HALP" thread when you mess up.

Hello,

So I am new to android and this whole rooting business.

My brother bought his HTC one from HK so it uses the HK variant files, and he recently gave me his phone. I wanted to update to 4.2.2 but it keeps failing.

My friend told me to unroot the phone, recover into stock and then update it but I have absolutely no idea how to do it.

The software number of this phone is 1.29.708.4, so I was wondering if someone could provide me steps on how to resolve this issues - and possibly where I can find this file.

Define ''keep failing'' ? What does it do exactly?

Assuming you know how to use adb and fastboot (if not the case, there is many guides on that here), post the output of ''fastboot getvar all'' except the IMEI and SERIALNO. Please also post a screenshot/pic of the bootloader screen.

sorry mate, but rom comparison threads are not allowed here. There are all good roms, you will need to test them yourself to know which one best fit your needs.

Your thread will probably get closed :(
[General Accessories] addsfsds:
Hi mate! How are you? Hopefully you still remember me! I'm so glad to see you got the Tenore too and liked them! I think I hit the jackpot with these as I spent the right amount of money and finally got the right amount of bass I was looking for :)

I have a question for you, how do the Tenore compares to the dm-2?based on what you told me last month I'm still interested in those. So I'd like to have your precious opinion! Cheers
[General Accessories] vectron:
SIDY DM2 has more bass, but they are not as accurate as Tenores. I actually haven't even touched DM2 since I got Carbos :) One thing to keep in mind, as you probably read from dozens of pages on Head-fi, Tenores will need at least 100 hrs of burn in for the bass to start shining. I like a little more bass for my taste, so I'm somewhere around 50+ hrs of burn in mark ;) The only thing with Tenores - they do look fragile... But when I read from some people on the forum who compare them to HA-FX850, you know you got something special ;) Btw, I'm also waiting to get review samples of KC06 and KC06A. Curious about "A" model which supposed to have more bass, just hope not at the expense of recessed mids... And then there is VSonic VSD 3S (very much hyped by everyone already...) - will have to figure out how to get a review sample of those :)
[General Accessories] addsfsds:
Thanks for the reply! So, are we safe to say that the Tenore sounds better than the dm-2 to you? I was looking to get another pair of Chinese iem and the dm-2 were on my list. I'm really looking forward to read your thoughts about the ostrys and the new vsd 3s!
[General Accessories] vectron:
Yeah, Tenore is better than DM2. No need to buy it, in my personal opinion. Hopefully will get Ostrys in a week or two. Not sure about VSD3 yet, but Mochill on Head-fi has been going nuts last night posting updates every 5 min how much he loves these. Hopefully it's not another hype train. But for $46 with removable cables and such an ergonomic design - it's hard to ignore it ;)
[General Accessories] addsfsds:
After the Tenore choo choo train I started to value what Mochill says (still filtering something out ;)), I found they have the quality of my PFE 122 but with the right amount of bass. I might buy another pair in future as backup. Still i'm really curious about the VSD3, they also look so good :D
[General Accessories] IEMagnet:
Totally agree

I absolutely agree with everything you said about the Tenores. Afteer owning hundreds of IEM's, with a price range from $600 (Sennheiser IE800, UE 7 Pro) to $6.00, I finally found that true "giant killer", that IEM with the perfect combination of fit and sound at a completely affordable, but at the list price, completely INSANELY undervalued when you compare price to performance ratio. These things destroy even the JVC FX650's, which are three times the cost. The Tenores don't even hit their stride until after 200+ hours of listening. This is when they truly transform, especially the bass. The bass goes from being kinda thick and intrusive, to this rich articulation, with punch, where you hear and feel each note as it's played. The complete opposite of say the popular Pistons 2.0 (which I still own) or the FX650 (sold). This reveals itself at about 200 hours, and there's no looking back.

I just ordered the Doppios, after spending a month wrestling with the ergonomically disappointing Fostex TE-05 and bloaty and not as detailed JVC FX650. The Fostex did have a beautifully clean and even lush reference sound, but the isolation and fit were so godawful poor, that i just didn't find any joy in them, or desire to keep them. The JVC's fit better, but isolation wasn't much better, and the woodies are just bulky and don't provide the sick awesome soundstage and detailing the Tenores provide at a 1/3 the price. So I unloaded, got a great deal on amazon, and I await the Doppios with great excitement. If they can provide the type of enjoyment or leap frog the sonic pleasure I got from both the UE 700 or TEAC ZE-1000 dual armatures (both broke on me at the wire at different places), then I think I've finally found the perfect dynamic and BA IEM's for my long term listening pleasure?

Thanks for the great review!

btw yes, this is IEMagnet, who was grossly and unfairly banned from head-fi, and repeated requests to be reinstated over the last year have gone unanswered and ignored. :) But i still read and follow every day. :p:good:
[General Accessories] vectron:
What did you have to do to get kicked out of head-fi?!? Btw, on head-fi I'm "twister6", just like in every other forum where I post, except XDA where I'm "vectron". If I can go back in time a few years when I registered here, I wouldn't make a mistake of random name... but anyway.

Btw, if you are following Head-fi and their Tenore thread, it kind of went in a totally different direction of "reference" vs "bassy" models, and so on. Another Discovery thread with Zero Audio's been all over the place as well.

I'm still waiting to receive my KC06/KC06A and want to compare it to Tenores. I know the sound isolation of Ostry is not that great, but a lot of other people say they prefer KC06 over Tenores. Will see. With KC06A, at least I don't have to wait 200hr for bass to shine ;) But still, Tenores are at the top of my list when I listen to acoustic music or music with non-electronic instruments. The sound delivery is truly breathtaking!
[General Accessories] DoKaTSuYa:
It sound better than MHC1C and specially SBH80 from Sony ?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Don't have Sony ones, but some people on head-fi do find them better, if I'm not mistaken. But at the end, it all comes down to a personal taste.

Zero Audio VS Final Audio Design ?

Im using Final Audio Design (FAD) Adagio 2 for 2 years now and loving it. Now i am thinking to add more IEM in my collection, im considering Adagio 3 before i came across Zero Audio and looking at your review, Tenore / Doppio might be a good pick but how good is Tenore/ Doppio vs FAD Adagio 2 or 3?

IMO Adagio has very tight bass but brilliant mid and high too.. it performed very well for live music as well as bassy songs like Muse - Hysteria. Btw im not an audiophile just an avid listener of good music. TQVM

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForeverZ3RO:
Just wondering if there is any way to get the 4.4.3 dialer on my Note 3. Unfortunately, I'm not rooted and already on 4.4.2 so rooting is out.

I really like that dialer, or even the 4.4.2 AOSP dialer will work. Can one of these be installed without root? I can't stand the TouchWiz Dialer.

Thanks for the help in advance. :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pudgedaddy:
No not without root. The dialer app is written to either /system/app or /system/priv-app which would both require root access to modify or replace with another.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ForeverZ3RO:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Just wondering though, how is it all of the Play Store "Dialer apps" work?

Can't the 4.4.3 AOSP just be configured like that or something?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pudgedaddy:
No well some dialers in the play store require root and some may not and just replace your stock dialer. Well not replace, just will give you the option to choose it. Kinda like how you can have multiple launchers and when you press the home button (assuming you haven't set one as a default) it will ask you which launcher you want to use. The same thing happens in certain situations when you have Skype installed. When you want to dial a phone number from let's say a link in chrome or the default browser, and if you have skype installed, it will ask you which program you wish to use to dial the phone number.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooldood2012:
I am having problems with my Nexus 4.

History, replaced screen after phone was knocked out of my hand, probably damaged battery while trying to remove it, but everything worked once it was back together.

Screen broke again, and while working on that, I noticed the battery had swollen so ordered a replacement of eBay.

All back together now, but.

1 Phone does not state "charging" when connected to AC or USB charging, although the battery icon has the lightning bolt in it and the %charge does not drop while messing with the phone.

2 Phone does charge using wireless, but slowly, and status swaps back and forth between charging and not charging and the % will move from e.g. 40% to 35% as it says charging or not charging.

3 USB works for connection to PC.

I charged the new battery overnight, wirelessly. It got to about 90%, so slow charging, but seems to work. Phone is usable, everything seems to work. I connected it to PC and was able to use Nexus Root Toolkit to backup, the reset the phone, no change in charging behavior.

Booting into safe mode made no difference either. So it seems it is not software/firmware/apps that are causing the problem?

I guess next step is to open it up again and remove and remake all connections and check contact posts? Should I order a third battery? Or a new motherboard?

I searched here, but could not find anyone with the same problem.

Any and all help appreciated. Thanks in advance, guys.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooldood2012:
Opening and rechecking connections and coating with contact cleaner has made no difference.

Phone typically needs Volume Down and Power button pressed to get it to start, then Power Button to select start option, then seems to run okay.

Battery still not reaching 100% charged, generally 70-80% after a full night off, using wireless (my Nexus 5 charges happily on same charger).

Ordered a cheap battery from China, not really expecting that to be the problem, but no other clues or suggestions for now.
