hello i have a tmobile s3 shg-t99 4.1.2 baseband version t999uvdmd5 and would like to know best way to root and unlock it so i can use it with at&t..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
You don't need to root it, but if you want to root it anyway I suggest flashing root66 firmware.. Unlock thread is in general, you will need to downgrade to 4.1.1 LJA firmware for it to work.. You can also just flash the LJA baseband in custom recovery and then continue with unlock procedure.. Up to you

Hello guys,

So I have an unlocked, unroot AT&T HTC One X, running stock rom JB 4.1.2 & Sense 4. The other day I was just using it when all of a sudden the phone froze & stop responding. I pressed and held the power button, trying to reset it. Ever since then, it had been stuck in a boot loop ("HTC -quietly brilliant" appeared, then reboot). I did not have any recovery like TWRP installed or anything similar. When I tried to enter HBoot, this is what I get"

and a bunch of options as usual. I tried everything from factory reset, clear storage, to recovery, but nothing works. I tried fastboot then install the RUU, but when I plug the phone in the USB port, it is not recognized by my pc. When I opened cmd and type "fastboot device", it says <waiting for device> and nothing happened.I have already installed HTC Sync Manager and the driver, but the problem is still there. Can anyone please help me? I'm a total noob and don't know what to do now. I just want to wipe everything clean and return it to stock.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Are you sure the device is unlocked? It says locked in your bootloader screen. Did you perform a factory reset from the bootloader? That causes the sd card to become corrupt on modified devices, so if you've done that you've created another problem for yourself. Whatever you do, absolutely do not run an RUU, you'll brick your phone. S-on + SuperCID + jb RUU = brick, that's assuming your phone is modified like you say, but it isn't worth the risk. What happens when you enter recovery? And did you have fastboot working previously or have you installed it since this happened?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dxbach12:
My bad, I mean the device is sim-unlocked (I used it with t-mobile). I did try the factory reset from the bootloader, and it seems like I do have a corrupt sd card, just like you suggested. When I enter recovery, the phone reboot, and stuck in boot loop again. I also agree that install the RUU with s-on is a recipe for a bricked phone. I never had fastboot working before, I just tried it for the sake of installing the RUU.

Do you think that the phone's microusb port is broken?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, so an RUU is possibly safe for you, if the phone has never been modified in the past. The only way to be sure of this is to check the CID but to do that you need a working fastboot connection. The command is this:

fastboot oem readcid

If it comes back as CWS__001 you're safe to run an RUU, but if it comes back as 11111111 (or anything else) it isn't safe.

When you connect the phone to your PC while the phone is in bootloader mode what does it say on the screen of the phone? It should either say fastboot usb or fastboot ac. If it says fastboot usb your usb port is fine, if it says fastboot ac there could be a problem with the data pins on the port.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dxbach12:
Yeah, I tried to look up my CID too, but the pc doesnt recognize the phone. When I connect the phone to the pc and I enter the fastboot menu, there're 4 options: bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down. It says fastboot usb when I move down to the 3 bottom options.

Still, when I typed in "fastboot oem readcid" in cmd, it stills says < waiting for device >. Could I be setting up the fastboot wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Aloysius496:
You can try "fastboot devices" to see if its connecting, beyond that you can check device manager to check if your PC can actually see the device, but perhaps hasn't installed it properly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
For fastboot to work properly you need fastboot installed (obviously), you need the proper drivers installed, you need to be using a usb 2.0 port, and you need to be using the original HTC cable (or one that's known to have good data transmission properties). Do you meet all those requirements? If you have drivers installed how did you install them? The fact that fastboot usb shows up on your screen suggests that the port on your phone is ok. What os are you running on your PC?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dxbach12:
This may be where the problem lies. I don't have an OEM HTC data cable. I've been using a 3rd party one, and before the boot loop problem, the cable works fine. I tried both USB 2.0 port and 3.0 port, but neither works. The pc runs Windows 8.1. I install the driver using "HTC Driver Installer.msi" from another thread on XDA. Still, in device manager, the phone is shown as "Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration)". I tried to update the driver using local files with no luck.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, your problem is Windows 8.1, there are no compatible fastboot drivers. You need to downgrade to Windows 8 or lower and you should be fine.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dxbach12:
Sorry for the delayed response, I have been away on business.

So I tries the fastboot on my wife's win 7 pc and it works, finally. When I ran fastboot oem readcid, it returns CWS_001. It looks like I can install the RUU after all.

What guide would you recommend me following? I tried to google one but there're just too many.

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
All you need to do is connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the RUU exe in Windows. Make sure HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled, make sure no other programs are running, and make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off. All you need to do is follow the prompts.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dxbach12:
I put the phone in fastboot, ran the RUU, and after a few prompts, clicked "Update", I reached the screen where it says "Waiting for bootloaders" with a status bar. Then after a while (seems like the bootloader fails?), Error [171]: USB Connection Error screen pops up. I gues this is because I can't boot the phone up and select USB debugging as the connection mode. What can I do now? Is it possible to fix the bootloader or put the phone is USB debugging mode?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It has nothing to do with the usb debugging option, I've run RUUs with no OS on my phone before, they do not require that. The problem is your usb connection, this can be sure to multiple things. Are you using a usb 2.0 port? Are you using an original HTC cable or a cable that's known to work with adb/fastboot? You're not still using the PC with Windows 8.1 on it are you?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dxbach12:
Let me tried borrowing someone else's cable. I was using a LG G2 one, so that could be a usb 3.0 cable.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You didn't answer my question, what OS are you using on the PC now?

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dxbach12:
Sorry. It's Windows 7 Professional SP1.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, check the cable and check the port too.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dxbach12:
Ok, so far I have tried connecting the phone to the usb 2.0 port of the win 7 sp1 laptop using:

- 3rd party usb 2.0 cable

- OEM LG G2 cable (probably usb 3.0)

- OEM Kindle usb 2.0 cable

None have works so far. Every time, error [171] pops up.

Could it be a problem with the battery? The RUU recommends charging the phone at least to 30%. When I plug a charger in the phone, the boot loop continues, so I don't think my phone is charging.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
So the phone bootloops even when in the bootloader?

No, that doesnt happen. When it's not in HBOOT, that happens. I'm charging it while putting in HBOOT right now.

xposed

as i understand xposed framework/modules work like an override

uninstall exposed = lose your changes

include xposed framework/modules in rom, ask permission where necessary/proper

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireTVnews.com:
I put my money on an update coming June 18th. That's the day Amazon is launching their smartphone.

I appreciate the tip! I've grown incredibly tired of Apple's bull**** and the iTunes App Store's insane restrictive policies. I want a phone that isn't locked down like the stock iOS is. It's frustrating as hell.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CiDhed:
Kindles are pretty locked down compared to standard Android phones. Go Nexus or someone with factory bootloader unlock support for the best experience. The M8 is a great stepping stone into the world of Android phones for people coming from the iPhone. Like I said, you can use Amazon Music, Amazon App Store, Google Music, Google Play Store and just about everything other than Amazon Prime Video on a standard Android phone.

It looks like iOS is making some much needed improvements in the next release. Hopefully they get it right, competition is great for us.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] twn2:
My boss bought a Treo 650 and I showed him how to put the SIM in. I noticed his signal strength had 5 bars. He wanted to see if it was unlocked so I put in my Tmobile SIM. When I turned it on, he had 2 bars. I kept it on and moved it around a bit and it moved between 1 and 2 bars. Confused, I put his Cingular SIM back in and up popped 5 bars...sometimes 4, but mostly 5.

Now, does it make any sense that my Tmobile SIM would cause his phone to have less strength than his Cingular SIM?? Or was this just some type of flook?? His Treo is Cingular branded...if that matters, but his SIM is left over from AT&T days.

His phone is a branded, unlocked Cingular. Mine is an unlocked i-Mate K-Jam.

Anyone with any thoughts?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] weezy:
Well if your in America. Sad to say the T-Mobile is smallest in coverage in area, and members. So the area you in might not have as much as Cingular. In america, Cingular, Verizon, and Sprint has the best coverage.

BTW, want to now how to get a promotion, introduce him to Windows Pocket PC's. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] twn2:
First, giving him a WM5 product is not going to get me a promo. He'll have such a tough time using it he'll get mad at me for recommending it. Believe me....I've thought about that as I have a K-Jam and love the heck out of it. Some people need the simple things. :-)

Regarding Tmobile, I switched from Verizon to Tmo about 6 years ago when I started traveling to Europe several times a year. Initially the service sucked, but over the past 2 or 3 years I've had 0 problems with it. I travel around the country and internationally and I have to say that I'm pretty happy with it. I'm sure it's a "your mileage may vary" situation. Matter of fact, I don't know anyone who complains about their service regardless of who it is.

That being said, even if Tmo sucked majorly, that wouldn't explain why my SIM would cause him to get weaker reception than his AT&T SIM. Keep in mind, I'm using the same Treo with 2 different SIMs and get 2 different readings.

Thanks,

I have heard from some post over at Howard Forums that the Cingular 64k SIM's get better reception than the AT&T 32k SIM's.

I migrated over from an AT&T SIM to a Cingular one and noticed that my reception improved a signifigant amount. So there may be something to do with how the SIM's are designed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] twn2:
Well, I'm going to run down to the Tmobile store today and see if I can't pickup another SIM. I'm pretty interested in seeing what happens.

Tom
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GldRush98:
of course it did

Your phone went from sticking to AT&T towers to Cingular towers.

OP: I doubt a new SIM from TMobile will help you. Chances are TMobile coverage in your area, as most, isn't good.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ipaqkiller:
SIMs and Signal Strength

The reason a sim can dictate the signal strength is the sim has a certain amount of programming on it that tells the phone and its receiver about the services on the network. Have you ever seen a text message with "OTA OK" ? That's an Over The Air update to the sim updating things such as service pointers and things to make it easier for the phone to use the services on the network and find towers easier and quicker. You can have a sim go bad and not be able to take an update causing alot of problems or very little but noticeable problems like not receiving SMS or sending MMS. It's a modular network built on a lot of small pieces and all of them have to work together to make the services work correctly.

Sorry for the diatribe.....

Without my permission, and nothing I could do about it. It rather ticked me off.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ck.chunkeat:
Hi, first of all, I would like to introduce myself. I got my nexus 5 the first week that it was announced and was amazed at the speed of the new device running both kitkat 4.4 and snapdragon 800 as well as having a ram of 2gb. I was then further blown away when I switched to ART runtime. Note, my previous phone was a Xperia Arc. So compared to that, the difference was between sky and ground.

I think the speed difference in overall smoothness of the phone could be due to kitkat 4.4 or snapdragon 800 while the speed of switching between app was due to 2gb ram and ART.

Anyway, I was very pleased with it as it is finally a phone which is comparable in smoothness to the ios world of iphones.

TL;DR, nexus 5 is very fast.

Now, onto the point. I recently came across this article. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Funk...ne-display-touch-response-time-so-far_id54887

And I see that HTC M8 topped the chart with nexus 5 tied with iphone 5/5s.

My question is this:

1. Is there anyway to improve the response time through software tweaks? either through rom, kernel or some sort of mod? or is it all impossible as it is hardware based?

2. How does the few milisecond affects the overall speed of the phone? app opening speed, overall smoothness in typing, responsiveness in games,etc
