i've used the official case and the 3rd party inserts and they all charge at about the same pace. A bit less than half the speed of the OEM charger. Using the Galaxy charging app i get about 1200-1800 Mah with the charger and about 600-700 with the charging back/cards.

i received an invite for this phone, total cost for me is going to be like 450 canadian dollars. how are your impressions? i want to know so i make sure i don't waste my money also how hard is it to root? thanks in advance guys
[ONE General] zephiK:
Not hard to root at all. If you're familiar with Nexus phones, then its pretty much.

1. install drivers

2. fastboot oem unlock

3. fastboot flash recovery <recovery>.img

4. put supersu.zip on ur phone

5. flash

6. u have root.

in terms of impressions, just read reviews.. theres a bunch of them online that you can read and see pretty pictures.
[ONE General] drakester09:
Despite having a slightly yellow band, I love this device. See sig for the devices I have, the 1+1 is my favorite.

As for root it's just as easy as a Nexus, flash custom recovery then flash SuperSU.zip in recovery.
[ONE General] d4fseeker:
You get a very nice phone for a decent price. Other than this TLDR; read the reviews by tech sites as I fully agree with them on nearly everything.

In other words; I am not sure you can get a half as decent (specs and software) phone for double the price from another brand.

No offense but that should have been easier to google than even type the question. It is very easy to root, you just need to unlock the bootloader and flash another recovery. Please note that unlocking the bootloader will factory-reset your device for security reasons.
[ONE General] zephiK:
First thing I recommend for anyone to do on their phone regardless whether or not they plan on rooting or not is to unlock their bootloader.

This is because you will have the opportunity to backup your phone's data / text messages etc; whereas, if the bootloader is not unlocked you will lose all your data.

Having the bootloader unlocked does not compromise any security/protection/etc

[General Questions and Answers] JD001:
Hi All,

I have forgotten the password to enter the encrypted storage device(when you first power up(not the screen lock))

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a master password that I can utilise? I am at the stage where I still have some attempts remaining.

I have read on some threads that the only way to access the phone is to do a "hard reset" which wipes all your data. I find this hard to believe, I understand that these security concessions have been designed to protect the user...............but if the lawful owner of the device has requested assistance in accessing the device there should be a means to bypass this via a master password or to access device some other way.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys,

I was looking for a tutorial and a description about what is a recovery.img and if there is always the need to root any Android or Smartphone (even if it comes with Ubuntu mobile OS) to install a custom ROM.

My second question is about the Super User Apps:

I always see tutorials in which, after flashing the recovery.img they say we need to install a, i.e., CWM_SuperSU_xxx.zip. I do not know why to do that if I have my phone rooted and all I need to do is to boot it and go to the Play Store and install the latest SuperSU app by ChainFire, i.e.

All these questions have a single porpuse: To know what I am doing, because I do not like to perform tasks as an robot. I have a brain that loves to know and learn and be aware of what its doing.

Thank you very much for your help. Maybe you could point me to the documents I need to read to now all these questions.

By the way:

I rooted a year ago my HTC One-V and installed a Custom ROM before and It was working perfect until somebody stolen it from me.

My device now is a Samsung Galaxy GT-i9300. I am from Perú, and my Service Provider is Claro.

I use Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04 and I have installed Heindall from the Ubuntu repositories. Until now I just read tutorials of how to root my phone, but I do not want to perform tasks without knowing what are them for.

So I want to wait before rooting my GT-i9300 until I know what I am really doing with my phone.

Thank you in advance!
[XDA Assist] Perseus:
Regarding Rooting, Please see [Q] What is rooting? Particularly #7

When it comes to Recovery, See XDA Wiki. Also See XDA University for Android Flashing Guide.

If your Device comes with Linux, then you should not use Android Rooting programs unless advised to do so. Weather Device Recovery works with Linux or not depends on Case by case basis.

In case of additional questions, please post in Android General
[XDA Assist] maurici0m0ra:
My device is a very popular one, a GS3 GT-i9300. It is an Android phone.

My PC, where I am going to connect my phone to root it that has Ubuntu Linux 14.04 and 12.04 installed.

Maybe you miss understood what I wrote.

So if I want to use CWM Recovery, then I can look for the latest version? Or there is a special version for my phone. Afaik it is exactly like my PC when I install a dual boot with Windows. The bootloader (maybe Grub2) is like the Samnsung bootloader and Recovery and my Android are like Ubuntu and Windows dual booting. Is that right?

And hence I do not need a special CWM Recovery for my phone, it should be a simple recovery.img installer but versions differs in features and installed programs. Is that correct? And I just can look for the latest one.

[XDA Assist] maurici0m0ra:
So...

In simple words, it is like my PC.

I inicially have a single OS, Android. Maybe a Recovery but installed by the manufacturer.

Then if I install a Custom Recovery, it is like creating a dual boot: Android and Recovery.

Then if I install a ROM it is like removing a Linux distribution in my PC and installing a new one.

Recovery gives me some tools like backup my personal settings and data and even my apps.

In those terms, there should be ways to install dual boot Android and Ubuntu Touch? Or which ever ROMs in dual boot?

If you want to install CWM, please visit [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.3.2 for GT-I9300

Yes Bootloader = Grub but Linux/ubuntu do not have a concept of Recovery in traditional android sense. In that wany Grub does do the job of a recovery. You may want to google for "What is Android Recovery ?"

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMCaird:
Hey guys,

This is my first post here, but hopefully I'll become a more active member and won't just be asking for help! Anyway, as the title suggests, I want to return my HTC to completely stock. I installed Cyanogen onto it, but decided I prefer just having the stock ROM (weird, I know).

So I was wondering if it is at all possible to return to phone to complete stock?

What I want to do is:

Return to the stock ROM

Return the the stock Recovery

Remove *UNLOCKED* and *TAMPERED* flags

Return to S-ON (after removing the tags)

Also, is it possible to be rooted, but still have everything else stock? What is the minimum I can change, but still be rooted?

Thanks in advance!

HERE IS YOUR RETURN TO STOCK BIBLE

Read through the above, its a brilliant guide by [MENTION=2258271]EddyOS[/MENTION]

going back to s on shouldn't really be a priority as some m8s ship already s off.

but if you want to return to s on, once you have followed the guide above, you need to boot into RUU mode in fastboot by typing "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then once you have a black screen with a silver HTC logo type"fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" - this will change the security on.

IMPORTANT!!!!!!! - make sure you are on stock firmware and a stock unmodified HBOOT as you will hard brick your device if not

how hard is it to port windows progs to run on ppc (wm5) there is a great product for the pc called ulta hal heres a link to see what it is

http://www.zabaware.com/

now if this could be ported to ppc it would turn si-fi to si-fact it would open up a whole new world to the ppc

any info you guys could give me would be a great help or any guides on porting software

please guys id love to see this software running on ppc

for now its a dream but please help me make it reallity

thank in advanced
[General Topics] levenum:
Ok here goes:

1) As this is a commercial product and there for getting its source code is not an option porting it would really mean just writing the whole thing from scratch. Not really feasible.

2) From just reading the intro on the site it seems that PDA type device don't really need this kind of app. After all all that 'secretary' like functionality is already exposed for one click use and there is no shortage of various reminders (built in and 3rd party apps).

4) Microsoft Voice Command and Cyberon Voice Commander (full version, not the built in voice dial crap) can launch apps and do other stuff as well as dial the phone so there goes that functionality.

5) For most devices having 2D / 3D animation constantly taking up part of the screen and all that other functionality running in the background may just be to much of a drain on resources.

Sorry. I didn't mean to pummel your idea in to the dirt, but I just can't see something like this happening with the current abilities of our devices.

Perhaps in a few more years as the phones / PDAs get more powerful, but not now.

[General Topics] levenum:
Close but no cigar, as they say.

This thing will emulate the PC but not the OS which means you somehow need to stick (what is the minimal version HAL runs on?) desktop windows on you device, and get it to run under the emulator.

Do I need to continue?

It might be possible to create something like this for the newer high powered devices (certainly not my Jamin or your k-jam). Perhaps you could peach the idea to the manufacturer.

yer i think i may have to give up on this one as hal uses the ms assistantce so id have to get them working before i could even mske a start on the speach system and that would take up most of my mem but yer there is a but i dug out my old pc the other day its has a 350 cpu and 64mb of ram which is way below my ppc and hal was running fine and i was also able to have enough mem to run ms media player and ie exploerer and my ppc has a 400mhz cpu and 128 mem so there is still hope
[General Topics] toomuchdogfur:
You can't really compare PPC CPU and computer CPU speeds like that - they're different types of chips off the bat, and also they run different operating systems, which almost always means the computer ends up doing more things and doing them faster. Take the difference between Intel XScale chips and Texas OMAP chips for example - both are PPC CPUs, but the OMAP's 200MHz can almost match the Intel's 416MHz, despite the former being less than half the speed of the latter.

It's not to say that running this software isn't possible, but you might need a lot more grunt than you expect. Remember, the Playstation 1 had a 33MHz chip, yet if anyone wants to emulate a PSOne on the PC it'll take >400MHz for good performance (though note that this is emulation. Obviously if someone was able to recompile the PSOne's software to run natively on PC hardware, then it would be significantly more efficient.).

[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Wasn't sure if it was stated still in my OP or not, but that error usually occured when flashing the tot method for the first time on a new phone, which you would use a button combo to factory reset while booting up the phone.
[AT&T LG G3] screwyluie:
I tried a great many things to get rid of the 2 status and nothing worked... I think I reflashed no less than 20 times, and finally one took. The flash tool, if left alone would always come back as failed and I'd be left with a status 2. I tried factory resets, I tried various other little tricks listed here and there on the web (usb ports, plugging and unplugging at various times, etc) nothing worked... finally after a dozen or so tries at various trick methods, I thought, well let's just do it by the book one more time and see what happens, and sure enough I finally got a status 3 and a pass, pulled the battery and rebooted, everything is good now.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:
Also remember flashtool will almost ALWAYS fail.. Once its 85% its pretty much done. If it fails past 85% it's done flashing, the rest is just waiting for reboot.
[AT&T LG G3] screwyluie:
yeah tried that too, it booted to a factory reset status 2 screen.

I'm sure I'm the odd man out in this process, but for me it wasn't as straight forward as all that. I think perhaps the answer for me was flashing multiple times until it finally decided to work. I know with the sgs3 (my last phone) some people had to flash multiple times and others didn't, I'm thinking it's the same here.

I changed the build.prob file on my mac and forgot to change the name to build.pro.bak when I copied it into the system folder. Needless to say, when I rebooted the phone it went into a black screen after the lg logo.

Now I am trying to flash the file once again and it tells me the device model is different, to check the phone or dll.

I am not sure how this could be since I am using the same DLL and TOT file I used previously and it worked fine before.

Do you guys think there is a workaround for this?

Would a hard reset ( power + volume down) make things worst?

What are you talking about? How is what firmware downloaded? the firmware links are in the OP. Also you dont copy and paste anything, You choose the DLL and TOT file.
[AT&T LG G3] dcm1200:
This part right here.

7) Copy MegaLock.dll to C:\LG\LGFlashTool, This is a hidden folder so enable "hidden folders". Replace the old MegaLock.dll file if you have already installed LG Flash Tool on your computer.

8) When the firmware is downloaded, boot your LG G2 into Download Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Up key and then plug the USB cable.

9) Launch LG Flash Tool.

You might see a window with Korean language, just click on OK.

And then when I click OK is when I get the message saying lg/USB parallel lock key is not detected.
