[Verizon HTC One (M8)] HollywoodTate:
From having had Viper previously, I will say I loved it. But at the same time, there was still a bit of flashing to do and that is not what I am looking for at the moment. As for the apps to use to get my tether working, nothing that I know of will allow wifi tethering without root.

So I guess my question at this time is am I able to just simply root my phone to do all that I have mentioned above without flashing a rom? Are there other steps I need to take to reach my goals? I am fine with the stock rom. I just dislike bloatware, need the wifi tethering, and would also not mind to have the battery saver app that comes stock but is hidden.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
Well, you can use Weaksauce to root only, the question is if you will keep root through the next OTA update. Nobody will know until you try it....

Just rooting will not allow you uninstall apps on the /system partition. You need to be S-off for that. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but that is my current understanding of S-on on this device......

There is a way to tether without root: it's the paid version of FoxFi. Not the most elegant solution from what I'm reading, but it works.

But you know, I think you would get everything you desire by getting S-off, flashing a custom recovery and then CleanROM. It's strictly debloated, perm-rooted stock. Clean, simple and stable.

And when the next OTA comes out, you can bet that Scott will put out a CleanROM version of it in no time. Why is that harder than taking an OTA?

It just involves downloading a file and flashing it in recovery.. ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ddgarcia05:
I'm curious to see the outcome of the OP. I recently came back to Android from using an iPhone for over a year. I went to the iPhone because I was tired of roming and never being content with the device performance. There was always bugs, updates or new kernel. Now that I'm back I'm getting the root itch again but really want to refrain of tinking with it and going through that downward spiral again. I love the stock look and would like to deploy maybe try a asop rom or two.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thunderbls:
I like clean ROM also.... It is kept up-to-date very well... The good stuff worth having in an ota is usually offered by most devs very quickly. I don't know what was needed on your DNA to root and unlock for custom recovery but the m8 process is really quite easy (if you have a PC) lol.

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Maybe a gpe ROM? Lol so may choices. The problem with to root or not to root is that its an option now but what if an ota patches the exploit allowing the root? Then you don't have an option except to wait for another exploit if you didn't root and soff your device. If you ask me I would rather have the control to make that decision and not be forced into one. You never know when an update includes a patch for known exploit(s). Just my opinion.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
No spiral with CleanROM. Check out the thread. It's pretty boring - which is good! Because there are no bugs (unless introduced by users flashing something on top of the rom), it works just as good as stock, battery is great.... Flash and forget....

Exactly right! It seems to be getting harder and harder to find exploits for root, S-off etc. Anybody think it'll get easier with Android L??? I don't.

You can always flash back to stock, but you never know if the next update won't lock it down for months - or longer....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
Rather than removing the bloat, I'd use something like Titanium Backup to just freeze it. I can't say for sure about this phone but my last phone was a Razr Maxx. With that phone, if any of the bloat was removed, the update would fail. If you just froze the apps, you could always unfreeze them, then run the update.

Hello.

I recently sold this phone and went to factory reset. no problem. However, i forget i deleted the STOCK home app. THere is no launcher on the device so LG Setup Wizard simply crashes when finished setting it up. There is NO ADB since the setting has been erased. I need to re-enable it in settings but can't get that far since LG Setup Wizard keeps crashing..

I think i'm screwed.. what a stupid way to brick..

Device is: LG Optimus L9 P769 T-Mobile variant. Thanks guys!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] squal59:
you should be able to put your device on download/emergency mode and flash a kdz file with lg tool, you tried it?

if don't try yet, take out your battery, hold + volumen botton and put your battery again holding even + volumen key, and conect your to your computer, it must show the yellow screen with the legend download/emergency mode, and in your computer must be install the drivers, to exit the download/emergency mode just take out the battery or hold the power button, and for flash a kdz file, search a tuto, there are many, and many videos to make it easy . All this process let your device as new, all applications and configurations
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] elesbb:
I am aware of that mode but when attempting to flash that way before, after upgrading to jellybean, it would never flash for me. So I didn't even try it. I'll give it a shot though. I also was able to download one of the cwm backup zips posted in the other thread and extracted the system partition then created a .img image out of it and will try both your method and flashing that img file when I get home from work. Thank you for your post!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] elesbb:
SOLUTION

Installed the ICS uboot.

Booted to SW Upgrade mode via plug USB, hold volume up button, place battery into device

Launched KDZ update tool and it connected and went smoothly! :)

If you have the JellyBean uboot, it won't connect in SW Upgrade mode if booted manually.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
I don't currently have a computer I can back up my files to, so I didn't want to flash the L factory image to fix my "no sdcard" problem. So, me being a doof ran the "restorecon /data/media/0*" on Android L on Terminal Emulator. Before I had realized that technically, I wasn't on TWRP, I was really on MultiROM and the directories were different, I couldn't boot back into any of my ROMs because I keep getting the error telling me that the kernel I have installed is not k-exec compatible. I have attempted to flash MultiROM over again, install FK, and even Code Blue kernel to no avail. I've also tried a few other things, but yeah here I am.

So, my question is...is there a way to reverse the command, or correct it for MultiROM so that I don't have to use adb to flash a factory image and wipe out my pictures, music, etc.

They've mixed everything up...

Yes, Windows CE 6.0 is out. Hovewer Windows CE is not Windows Mobile.

WM Screenshots that recently float all over the Web is the screenshots of Windows Mobile "Crossbow". Crossbow is more of Windows Mobile 5 Second Edition, since it uses all WM5 internal architecture.

Windows Mobile that will use CE 6.0 "Yamazaki" kernel (and therefore will be numbered Windows Mobile 6.0) is codenamed Windows Mobile "Photon", and its still in the beginner works, long way to go, at least, before Crossbow goes out.

BTW did somebody promise even Crossbow firmware upgrade for Universal? ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mamaich:
Some people have seen Universal running Crossbow.

Currently nothing can be promised as they are under NDA.

I'm on the Infinity ROM and looking to use my phone as a wifi adapter. I used to be able to just disable Mobile Data and turn on usb tethering but this ROM seems to automatically turn off wifi when I turn on tethering. Is there any way to get around this? I'd like to at least get to use it to tether if not as a native adapter(connect to wifi from computer instead of setting it up on phone).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
The OP prolly can't post in development threads due to post count.

And what they want is NOT reverse tethering. Reverse tethering is using the computer internet on the phone. Meaning, the phone does not have a data connection or a wifi connection and wants to obtain internet through the USB port (meaning computer)

What the OP described is the proper way to tether the WiFi connection of the phone to the computer. Not sure why its turning off his WiFi.

OP, if you turn on USB tethering and disable data, then turn on wifi, what happens?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ruler501:
You are correct that I can't post in the development thread because of post count.

When I try turning wifi back on after turning on tethering it gets a popup saying that turning on wifi turns off usb tethering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Hm, thats strange. I can try to make an xposed module to disable that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ruler501:
I'm actually able to post now so I posted in their thread to see if they could tell me how to fix it.

Otherwise do you have any ROMs to recommend that have wifi tethering available?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
