[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
No, I believe you can use superoneclick to root without SD but you will need an SD card to flash a new ROM.

Unless you (or find someone to) make a hiemdall one click flash of a ROM, to the best of knowledge there isn't one like this made

But if you borrow an SD from someone rooting is quick

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2221030

See post 27 in the link above for a manual method that works with both windows or Linux or use superoneclick to automate the process

Best of luck!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
superoneclick links are dead.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
I was able to root my sidekick but how do I install the clockworkmod recovery and then install glorious overdose v5, but the link to v5 is dead cause ubuntuone was recently shut down. The links to the recovery and update are not working anymore, please help
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Everything you need to root and install the recovery are linked in that thread (post 27) just checked they all work fine

here is some mirrors for some roms

this link works for GO_V2

follow the instructions i gave in that post and use this as your rom and all is good

let me know if youre stuck, best of luck
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
OFF TOPIC BUT i INSTALLED THE BLAZE 4G, WAS THAT A BAD IDEA?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
nope, your fine

also i looked and i think the most updated version of version 5 can be found in post 17 HERE

I know some people had issues a bit with it but the download link is working if you want to give it a shot.

Id have to dig through my files and check but i may have some more updated versions that ricandroid and i were working on... but the project kinda just stopped

ill look for ad_vitamin then too (which is almost identical to go_v5 but better in my opinion) as soon as i can

wont be near my files until tomorrow at the earliest

for now try out a few roms, make backups of the ones you like and as always

happy flashing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
As promised

neXus_GB.zip

neXus_CM.zip

ad_vitam.zip

happy flashing!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
thank you! i love go_v5! its so awesome lol I had the modem working once but now the modem doesn't install on go_v5 and for ad_vitam. I choose wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, install the zip, then wipe dalvik cache and reboot. Am I doing something wrong?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Well these ROMs include a modem that should work fine, if you are having issues there is a thread with all the modems for this device and it is possible that another may work better for you

Glad you like the ROM!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
nope none of the modems work :( am I doing something wrong? Could you tell me the steps you did to make go_v5 and ad_vitam work? I get E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] when I choose to wipe dalvik. At the end of the installtion for aroma for go_v5 I get set_perm_recursive()expects 4+ args, got -109755640 I don't know if that is an error or not
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Nothing special

Wipe all partitions

Flash ROM

Reboot

That's it

I don't think it could matter if you have no ext partition on SD card, but feel free to make one if you think it will help
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
weird when you said that ad_vitam worked lol. What do you recommend using to back up the roms? and how do you update the su binary? it keeps popping up saying its outdated. Thanks for everything you've done
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Just the normal nandroid backup method through cwm recovery

I tend to keep a copy of two or three favorites on SD card and any others I may want on pc
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
I tried the nandroid back up through cwm and it just vibrates and stays at the tmobile sidekick 4g welcome screen lol. what about the superuser su binary? how do i fix that error and is there a way to see emoji on this phone?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
In truth its been well over a year since I used the sidekick, as far as I recall nandroid worked just fine

You can update the su binary easily through an app, its out dated on all ROMs on this phone I'm sure

Emojis? I guess use another SMS app that supports it?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
thanks, what app updates the su binary? sorry been a iPhone user for too long lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
If I remember right when you get that message a link will show to download an app from the market, run the app once or twice and all should work well

If not than just search for something like su binary fix updater or whatever in the play store and you'll find it

But in truth I think most root apps and adb should work even without doing so

Oh, and glad to here you left the dark side, even if it is for a phone that hasn't been updated in too long, the sidekick has much potential but lacks the devs

Best of luck!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
thanks! I tried doing the backup through the recovery but when I restore it hangs at the tmobile sidekick 4g boot screen. And which rom takes up the least amount of space? I get low storage on the phone :/ theres no way to assign the app to install on sd card?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Not sure why it hangs, may have been a bad backup or you forgot to wipe before restore?

Not sure which ROM is the smallest but yes you can store apps on SD, best to create an ext partition and put them there over fat32 partition.

There are apps in the play store and many as well on xda, just search around an youll find some as well as instructions
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
I tried doing link2sd and the how to create a ext partition tutorial on here but when I click to create mount scripts I get this error: mount script cannot be created mount: invalid argument
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Well first make the partitions, usually just do it in recovery or if easier I tend to make mine with gparted on a PC

Then once you know you have partition/s then runn the scripts again. If it doesn't work try another or try an app from the store
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
my screen is stuck at the downloading..... do not turn off target... I can't get into recovery mode I accidentally clicked on download when I meant to click recovery when holding down the power button. Is there a way to get away from this? and I think the reason it doesn't work is because of the memory card. Another memory card worked.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Just pull the battery you'll be fine
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
I've done that still shows up. Big yellow triangle downloading.... do not turn off target keeps showing up when I pull out the battery. Pressed all buttons to get into recovery still shows up.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Plug it into computer and see if adb or Odin or hiemdall works and reboot that way
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
yes used odin thank you sorry to keep you bothering you lol. Everytime I back up a rom that had the modem working and installed go_v5 the H sign for data would show up. But its only worked twice for me with data, I really like v5 lol can the devs update this rom or did they quit the scene? I get android.phone error force close and thats when the data doesnt work. Is there a way to fix that or just keep trying to install the rom?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Yeah the scene here is pretty much dead, someday I hope to pick it up again if I ever have time

Your limited to a handful of froyo ROMs and one gingerbread that is fully functional other than the keyboard

Don't know about your data issue, never had that with any sidekick ROMs
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
Yeah every other rom the 4g works but for some reason I keep getting android phone error and no data on v5. Is there a way to pick it up again? maybe a petition? lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] soluslobo:
is there a way to get pdroid patcher to work?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Not for froyo, you probably could with the one GB ROM we have
[Moto X General] Jason.DROID:
So, as some of you know, if you use the XT1060 with T-Mobile and connect to LTE, you'll have one of two issues: 1) it connects to LTE, but you can no longer call out (or receive calls) as the phone falls back to CDMA even when locked out in the network settings, or 2) it doesn't connect to LTE because it locks the T-Mobile 3G APN in even when a manual entry T-Mobile LTE APN is selected (my issue). My X absolutely REFUSED to move to fast.t-mobile.com and failed to connect to LTE and had absolutely no signal whatsoever (no HSPA or GSM even when on LTE/GSM/UMTS). The reason from the tower: APNfailed. Tried a million times to change the APN in the LTE area to no avail.

I've found it will only change to fast.t-mobile.com (manually entered) in a non-LTE area. Well that's a great inconvenience. I had to disable LTE completely and restart the phone to get it back on HSPA+ (or wait 5-10 minutes).

Anyway, the Verizon rep called me to "troubleshoot" my issues when connecting to T-Mobile LTE. I refused to go through the typical troubleshooting steps because none of it worked when I tried, so it's not magically going to change. I found that interesting (that they'd call me) even though I've had no direct contact with Verizon. Anyway, nothing was really resolved.

Both of these issues are violations of the C-block agreement. Also, if you select Global mode, it'll default to EDGE even though HSPA is available. It'll go to HSPA after selecting LTE/GSM/UMTS, UMTS only, then move back to Global. Interesting how they make you go through these hoops, eh?
[Moto X General] XAlexander_AlexanderX:
Wow. Hopefully something changes with Verizon and letting people use LTE on other carriers. I know almost all Verizon phones don't get LTE on any carrier other than Verizon even if the LTE bands are supported. Verizon is full of crap.
[General Questions and Answers] jmindset:
Does my phone, (lg viper 4g LTE) having a locked boot loader effect rooting? I recently rooted it with no problem. After uninstalling sprint and google bloatware with titanium backup, it bricked. Whenever I restart it, it says "lg security error". I ended up unbricking it by flashing the stock ROM. I want to root it again but fear bricking it again. Anyone know?
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
locked bootloader just restricts you to rooting with exploits usually, instead of just flashing a su zip in recovery.

rooting is usually harmless by itself. the problems come 99% of the time from people deleting/modifying system files.
[General Questions and Answers] jmindset:
OK thanks. I rooted and after uninstalling many bloatware apps including some google apps like movies, magazines, books etc, my phone gave me a "lg security error". It bricked my phone. So had to flash the stock ROM via my PC. Was a mess

I updated to the 4.4.2 KitKat update with Sense 6.0 and I've never rooted the HTC one before. The last phone I updated was the HTC Sensation. I'm not happy with the color themes and tether options so I'd like to root the phone. I'm out of my warranty period and so I figure I'm safe in that regard. Is the rooting process the same as described in the first sticky thread for the 4.4.2 update with Sense 6.0 as well as the 4.3?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] thevuman:
Did T-Mobile remove the tethering on the KitKat update?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Robertsonland:
I can't find it and other posts mention this as well. There is other stuff I want to do as well that require root but I just need to be sure I can follow the given tutorials on this latest version.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] majmoz:
Yes, it is the same. In fact, it is pretty much the same for all HTC One's with the exception of Verizon. You can search Google or the HTC One Forum for other guides. Read as much as you can before attempting the procedure.

[MENTION=1496945]thevuman[/MENTION] Tethering is still in the update.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Robertsonland:
Thanks for the information. How do you get to the tethering without rooting? All I read said they removed access to it. And yes I read several times before actually attempting...

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Good question re battery (it is still in transit) - there are lots of "screen off" activities supported (dt2w, gyro gestures, wave above screen to wake etc) so I'm guessing not much deep sleep going on! And 1440 display must draw more (50mb "lumina style upscale" cam pics too) - 4.5amp quick charge (75% in 30mins!) should mitigate these potential issues somewhat lol

Hi all,

I have this issue that my 3G mobile signal drunk a ll the juice of my battery.

I tried every rom including the latest Android L preview. With every rom I could only survive only 3 hrs of screen time. If I leave it completely not using. The standby time is still within 8 hrs. I used the fastboot to reflash the factory image and replaced the radio version but it didn't help. A brand new battery was also replaced.

I believe it is the modem problem because if I turn on the airplane mode, the battery works great even with wifi on.

If you use bose's qc15 headphones and get issues detecting the cans on the phone, put your headphone volume on the connector in LO, if not the headphone won't be detected correctly and a aux cable icon will be shown for 2 seconds and audio will come out through the speaker on the phone.
