Confusion

The MT4GS I'm getting is running Gingerbread. If I use GingerBreak APK to root the phone and install CWM, can I still back up the stock OS? And for future reference, how would I keep the baseband once I'm ready to flash ROMs? Like the IMEI and stuff like that?

And the guide that you directed me towards is slightly complicated.

Is there an APK that can turn S-Off? if so, how reliable is it?

And for future reference (I like saying that) the ETA for device delivery is Wednesday on the East Coast of the United States.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
Getting out of my comfort zone here, but that should be possible. CWM will be able to back up system and boot, effectively the stock OS.

Haven't heard of people losing their IMEI's with this phone, nor of any backup to protect it, so that should be fine.

When I went through it, I found the guide a bit daunting as well, but you get used to it (alternatively there is below, which I never used).

There is no APK to S-Off (too complicated for a user app, and your phone would be upside down half the time thus making the screen unreadable), but there is this that can speed up the process:

This can root as well. It's no APK, but should get the job done.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mattlowry:
s-off has gotten easier. juopunutbear (or however you spell it) is no longer needed. rumrunner s-off is by far easier to use. this is what I used combined with the windroid program to root.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SiberianLeopard:
I bought one from a liquidator online. Brand new, out of the box, with the plastic still on the screen and stuff. Unmarked battery, though. Charges a bit too fast. Was labelled as "refurbished" but came in the original manufacturer box with original PC sync cable and chager. I found a way to root the stock ROM without S-OFF, just with CWM. All I had t do was flash a 2.3.6 ZIP that had the SU binary and the .apk file for the Samsung Galaxy Admire. It works on the really stupid Huawei model, too. Which, I installed the Raspberry Pi variation of SliTaz on it, and it works great! But as soon as I came back to my apartment from work I unlocked the bootloader(HTC model), installed CWM, flashed the ZIP fro 1.4 DS, and then did a backup of my old non-functional broken peice of shi...Yeah, and then then flashed the boot image through fastboot, and then restored my backup. My point is, though, my Minecraft PE and my Ravensword 2 installations diappeared after restoring the backup. Any ideas of why this happened?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] G-Fetus6:
thanks this is good info, i recently just got my slide to have cm9 without s-off and lets say that was a process trying to shift about all these dead links on this forum. but i plan on getting another mytouch cause i wanna switch back to a keyboard phone and well the keyboard died some how from sitting for so long but now that i have cm9 on this phone holly poo it runs fast and smooth.

anyway thanks for the info

i looked up the rumrunner and does it matter that its not completely made for the doubleshot? or does it just do it to any htc phone?

Mods, I know there's a ringke thread and a spigen thread but this is comparing them side by side. If you think this shouldn't be here fine, let me know.

I have been using a spigen ultra hybrid, ok but not great. It looks and feels cheap, the back is very slick and slippery, and overall it is only just ok. I had bought a slim armor as well and disliked that so much I sent it back immediately.

I just got the ringke fusion today and love it, much better than the spigens. First of all, it's much nicer to hold, it feels better and isn't nearly as slick. Secondly, it has dust covers but if you don't like them it's easy to cut them off and not even know they were there. Third thing is imo it just looks better than the spigen, it gives off a higher quality look.

If you haven't ordered a case yet I'd go with the fusion over any spigen at all. I'm definitely going together the max when it's available.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
A thread already exists with this same exact title, http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/accessories/ringke-vs-spigen-t2953095

I'm glad that you feel that way about the case though, I made a order of the Ringke Fusion and Ringke SLIM for a total of $15. I currently am using the spigen ultra hybrid as a placeholder. My biggest grip with the Ultra Hybrid was that the volume rocker and power button was so close apart that sometimes, I'd misclick the wrong button.

For the Fusion, it separates the two but for the Spigen, I like how they offered more colors. I personally love the color of the Metal Slate. It looks and blends in nicely with Midnight Blue.

Also you forgot to mention that Ringke includes a free screen protector. Not that its tempered glass but the extra bonuses without any additional cost is always nice to have.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jairusz:
Just got my fusion too and I love the way the buttons feel. Best case to me so far.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Fitz:
Since the update to Lollipop last week, OS Services on my Nexus 4 has been using a really large amount of my mobile data (when I'm connected to mobile data).

I've tried the following actions but the it still consumes a large amount of data (about 150MB for 10 mins browsing):

Disabled auto backup

Cancelled auto synch of all my accounts

Cancelled auto upload of any photos / videos

Restricted background data

Any idea which OS Service could be using all this data?

Any help with this would be appreciated, its getting to the stage where I can't use any mobile data as I'm going to go over my usage limit.

Thanks,
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Ariberz:
os services

I have the same issue (since update on lollipop, before everything was normal), and I did these steps as well:

[*] Disabled auto backup

[*] Cancelled auto synch of all my accounts

[*] Cancelled auto upload of any photos / videos

[*] Restricted background data

1. It seems to me that it has something to do with gps, when it is turned on together with mobile data (yesterday I turn on gps and mobile data for only 4 (!!) minutes, in this time os services used 45mb data!!

(I'm using "my data manager", where I can see data usage per month / week / hour

for mobile and wifi data.)

2. Don't know if this is a coincidence, but it seems to me that os services is sucking more data on mobile Internet than on WiFi.

3. Everytime when I upload and download data or skyping, os services are sucking as well a great amount of data. (Like gdrive, downloading with cm browser, YouTube). With android 4.4.4 everything was normal.

Don't know what to do.. Because of this issue I can use Internet only on wifi, what is ridiculous, because of the wifi issue, which is only working by chance. Very bad combination :-/
[Amazon Fire Phone] bal0ns:
I successfully rooted my friends Fire Phone by downgrading to 3.5 OS.

After the root was done, everything was performing well. EXCEPT TWRP. TWRP would not install no matter what I did, not sure what went wrong there...

Anyways, my friend decided to factory reset which led to a bootloop I have never encountered before. I can get to the screen where it asks to register device, then it asks whether or not to enable location services, then it asks to register device, going back & forth......

Im fairly sure this is because of a reset while rooted without TWRP.

I have tried toolkits to unbrick, followed steps through adb, seems like nothing works.

Even more annoying is that there is no way for me to turn on the USB debugging on the phone (since factory settings were reset), so command prompt does little good. I can see the device showing up in my computer though. Just no way for phone to allow the access.

I have rooted a few phones, but never one with this much trouble. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have a system dump? Or know where to download one for Fire Phone?

Dont think I can fix the phone without it. & then I still have to figure out how to get usb debugging "on" while not being able to get in settings, so that ADB command can connect with phone
[Amazon Fire Phone] Genmutant:
I broke my 3.5 install too, but got it working again by sideloading 3.6.2 and then going to 3.5 again. Each time with full reset. Have you tried that?
[Amazon Fire Phone] bal0ns:
It wont show up in sideload b/c i dont have usb debugging on. Thus, my problem. Ive tried that many times. I have correct drivers. I was using ADB prior to my factory reset. Now, its screwed haha. Amazon will be ecstatic
[Amazon Fire Phone] rileycn:
I dont think that twrp or any custom recoveries are available on the Amazon Fire Phone. Installing the twrp was likely the issue. Not the root. I can factory reset my rooted Fire Phone with no issues.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delinelsson:
So, I had the final L 5.0 flashed in my Nexus 5 when suddenly, after a poweroff, it wouldn't come back again, stuck in the flying dots boot animation. After many attemps and leaving it for the night, I tried re-flashing the L (LRX21O) back to it. No luck, still stuck in the flying dots (and yes, I did erase the cache and data partitions). I installed the 4.4.4 image and it booted; however I had some *very* weird problems, like the internal memory not being recognized (camera/gallery/appstore wouldn't open, got error about missing sd card, in the nexus 5). Then tried to update OTA from KitKat to Lollipop and got stuck in the same stage; those damn dots!! Can anyone help me "unbrick" my phone in Lollipop? :confused:

Ok, I reinstalled kitkat. While it booted up, i watched the internal storage's contents through windows explorer. I cried in joy when i finally saw the folders get created appropriately (dcim, downloads, etc.). but when I proceeded to select the phone's language, i got the message that the camera and gallery apps had stopped working. As soon as that happened, i fell in great pain as the folders had disappeared from the internal storage, which was again empty. What is going on here????

ZV6 has patched the vulnerability that Stump exploited. No way to know if anyone will find a way to root ZV6. If you want ZV6 and root, you'll need to be rooted on ZV4, flash bumped TWRP, and then flash ZV6 (see link below). If you really want the stock recovery, you can flash that after flashing ZV6.

Looking for a way to change my crypto password. I would like to use a different password for my crypto and the screen unlock. Used to be able to do this with cryptfs password.

This was a lot easier when I was able to encrypt the phone myself (like on the Nexus 4) because I was able to choose my password when I encrypted it.
