How do you backup before rooting? I have only used TWRP and nandroid backup before.

i believe [MENTION=4987085]xunholyx[/MENTION] can help you more than i can

thanks in advance
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
To backup before rooting, flash TWRP onto your phone and do a backup before flashing SuperSU. You aren't rooted until the SuperSU.zip is flashed.

If you plan on remaining stock/rooted you will have no reason to backup your recovery. You will still get the OTAs, but won't be able to flash them because of the custom recovery. But you can transfer the downloaded OTA.zip to your PC, unzip it with 7zip, and pull the recovery.img from the firmware.zip that is in the OTA. Put that into your fastboot folder and flash it the same way as TWRP.

I tried to use my mobile just now but could make no phone calls because it keeps coming up with the message "Not registered on network". What should I do? I have tried the usual powering off and on. What next?

Regardless of the level of charge, my phone will drop to a 0% charge seconds after rebooting and passing the lockscreen. Is anyone else having this issue or is there a way for me to diagnose what's happening?

The phone charges normally and holds the charge if I pass the lockscreen while plugged in. This only started happening in the past week or so.

n910a, 6.0.1, not rooted

You can see the drop shortly after 9pm in this image.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] companykept:
Sounds like a battery problem. Mine performed similarly, however I'm still on kit kat. But it was original battery with almost 2 years usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Badwine:
I have the same problem. It is not the battery. Only started happening after update to 6.0.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Ariac Konrel:
I've been reading around and mostly want to know everything for this for that time when CM becomes stable.

Anyways:

Do you lose Verizon network functionality? By this I really mean, calls, SMS, SMS, voice mail, and 4G LTE.

When converted...just act like it's the US unlocked model when flashing ROMs? Do I need to flash the Verizon radio?

I'm confused...and the final question..

To convert it requires a SuperCID and then RUU flash, right? I've seen Sprint owners do it and one Verizon owner, but the instructions were all very unclear to me.

Thanks!

Answers are on post #4, tested it out after being sure of how to do this. If you're lazy, click here...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
I've converted my VZW branded 10 to U.S Unlocked. I am NOT using the phone on Verizon network, so I can only answer part of your questions.

To convert, I changed my cid to SuperCID (22222222) and flashed the latest stock RUU.exe from HTC.com for U.S Unlocked. Pretty simple.

I can't tell you if the phone would work on Verizon network, but I would assume it would with a radio flash to get the basic things you mentioned working, as outlined in:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-htc-10/how-to/vzw-how-to-unlocked-model-vzw-t3376743

Haven't yet flashed any non-stock roms, but I can't imagine why this would be a problem. Also the CM thread has some people who flashed the Unlocked firmware on a VZW phone and got CM working.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] afuller42:
I haven't and probably will never try, but I see advanced feature breaking after you do this like wifi calling and the like. but ive also heard all that's different is the radio. but theres different settings unlocked and hidden between the two that may give issues also.

so just give it a shot if you really want. the worst that would happen is you would need to switch back to Verizon firmware.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Ariac Konrel:
Tested it out...

Changed my CID to SuperCID (22222222).

Got the latest Unlocked U.S. FW from the HTC Dev site (RUU EXE) and flashed it.

Flashed a Verizon radio in fastboot. (The same one used to make the actual U.S. Unlocked variant work on Verizon)

Flashed TWRP in fastboot.

Formatted my data.

It booted without issue.

Followed this guide (though, on initial boot it showed 4GLTE active BUT no bars (line through them).

After following the guide, I rebooted.

Testing functions:

Calls: Functional and no delays.

SMS: Functional and fast.

MMS: Functional and fast.

Data connection: Functional.

Behavior after reboot: Starts again with the bars crossed off, eventually comes up and working though. Works after that, calls too. Takes about 45 seconds to connect.

Thing to note: It seems as if my signal strength is lessened. Though, this could easily be placebo, weather, etc. It's 1:31AM and I've never paid attention to it before.

Network comes up as 3107 instead of Verizon Wireless.

HTC software updates seem to be broken, it gives a corrupted error. I'm locked/S-OFF, so dunno.

Final deduction: It seems to functional and all, without hiccup most likely. It takes longer to connect than the stock VZW FW does of course, but after the boot it seems fine.

I'm done testing this for now, but if anyone is wondering yeah go for a it. It seems to be fine besides a slower initial connection. Excited for CM to become stable, then I'll play with this some more.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] holofractal:
I was the guinea pig for this in regards to Sprint, but you've seem to partially answer a question I had.

I know that the Verizon and US Unlocked use the same model ID, but the Sprint and internal do not. Leaves me wondering if I could just run the RUU for my Sprint phone.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] M9guy:
Does your volte work ? Something you can try is flash Viper10 and select as a verizon model instead of the unlocked version, this will add get you on global mode and I think will fix your signal issues. You list your on Viper10 just dirty flash it again selecting verizon version and give it a try. If it does not help you can always just dirty flash again and go back selecting the unlocked version. Just do a back up before doing this and you will covered if you just want to restore the back up. From my experience this might help just do not try running a custom kernel for the verizon version if you converted to the unlocked as your camera may not work and keep forcing close but you can run a custom kernel for the unlocked if you converted to unlocked. My recommendation would be to run the Elite kernel as I have had really good luck with the Elite kernel on the Htc 10 and I think theirs is what I run well on my Motorola nexus 6 also.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
Ariac, regarding OTA software updates on the phone, I think you get that "corrupt" message because you flashed a different radio and twrp. Might be worth flashing the original Unlocked radio/recovery back and see if it at least detects the latest update. If it does, you'll also need to remove superCID to be able to take the update.

I reflashed the RUU yesterday, removed superCID and I was able to take the OTA.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] darko454:
Hello everyone,

I currently have a samsung galaxy s5 rooted specially for the hotspot.

I am thinking of changing my unlimited sprint data plan for any carrier on that would work like sprints unlimited hotspot using a new ONEPLUS3, with no data slowdowns . Any suggestions! Thanks
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dpryor88:
T mobile is great to me.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] darko454:
Thanks! Is you data plan prepaid? Does your download speed slows down after any over limit?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] dpryor88:
I'm a long time customer of T-Mobile. I have a 30 dollar unlimited package. Unlimited everything, though I think after 10 or so GBs, it goes to 3g. I think that's how it works. But I've never noticed any slow downs. Probably because I never really reach 10gb. But they still offer unlimited plans I believe. And op3 works great with the carrier. Simple SIM swap and you're ready!

My mother has a 3 or 4gb plan. I think she pays like $15 a month. She's not a big user of her phone, and she has an iPhone 6. She's been a customer as long as me.

So my plan would be extremely cheap if I didn't still owe for my old lg g4 and my htc10. Once those are paid off, my plan will be very inexpensive :)

[ ---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- ]

Oh, and it's a 2 year contract like pretty much anyone else. You pay monthly.

And Wi-Fi hotspot limit is 6gb I believe on all unlimited plans. I think after 6 it just slows speed. Not positive though on that.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] darko454:
Is there any way to trick the mobile hotspot?

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] parcou:
Long time user of Verizon with unlimited grandfathered plan. I left it for OP3. Why? Seems to me since I buy my phones and only like the unlock able types Verizon will never get off the CDMA network and globally GSM seems to be the standard. So I left VZW for Sprint.

I am in the US and the performance and coverage has been just as good. I do have a TMobile as a second sim for home phone which is off most time....but I find that TMobile is weaker in county and has most spoty area for coverage. VZW was excellent for my US travels but so for since just switched ATT is holding fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] uoY_redruM:
My wife messaged me on Facebook while I was at work and said her phone wouldn't send the text message to me, just kept spinning and said sending, and the battery was draining fast and died on her.

I got home from work and was messing with it and it's hot. Like, if I've been playing a game for a while on my S7 Edge it feels similar to that...and that was with the phone doing nothing but looking at settings.

First thing I noticed was Lookout kept cycling the same "Oculus is safe" message even after I cleared it. It would pop up like 10 seconds after clearing it. Thought maybe it was glitching so I force stopped and disabled Lookout. Didn't help.

Went into bootloader and cleared cache. Didn't help.

If I try doing an update search, it literally takes like 2 minutes to load. Like, I click check for update and nothing happens. Close everything to the home screen and all of a sudden it pops up and starts checking for an update. Scrolling through settings is noticeably laggy.

Not sure what else to check. I thought maybe she clicked power saver or something by mistake but no settings look out of place.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

For a very long time since the G930U firmware was available to install, I've been using that. Well I decided to want to get my phone unlocked for GSM using those services but it needs Stock Firmware.

[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
No, of course not... But many users of XDA are unaware of any these ROMs or how to look for them, or even if they should. My point is not to support or discuss these ROMs, that is best left for their official channels, but to make users aware there are options outside of XDA because many users think XDA has everything, and although it is a great resource, it is hardly all encompassing.
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
This is not a thread to discuss or even review these ROMs, its only purpose is to make users who wouldn't otherwise know, aware of their existence.

Actually, I don't think that's the case... Some developers just dislike XDA.
[X Style (Pure) General] HaggisIV:
It's ridiculous in the first place to publicly release a rom online and expect to keep the community limited. Obviously people will find it and share it on other more popular sites.

If these developers really wanted full control over their userbase their roms wouldn't be easily found through google searches.
