I can't really say it any better then the guy above me just did. I hope for your sake you start gettin a lil more enthusiatic for the duration of your stay here at XDA otherwise I can't really see you advancing much further... Best of luck.

Try this thread.

i am sorry guys I looked and looked I didnt see anything. I will look again.
Calm down If you spent as much time helping rather then criticizing you might have a much fuller life

what does that even mean
If you would have actually searched instead of just saying you did, you would see there is multiple threads on the same page as this thread you posted covering the information you seek, I'm just trying to save you from getting flamed from people a lot worse then me here but do what you want...

Go to the htc evo question and answer section and one of the thread titles is how to unroot to stock. There it will help you find the information your looking for. Just be careful where you post. Most won't be as nice as others just because we have rules that we follow. Good luck

I agree..... +1

zzz... being in the many forums I have been, people saying to search without even giving an answer are not adding to the forum at all.
Anyway, I unrooted before I did the OTA update... basically, you have to download the latest OTA RUU file.
The RUU file is an executible.
You run the RUU file while your phone is plugged in.
And it should restore everything to factory settings with the OTA update.
Here's a list of RUU's.
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Obviously, choose the last one, as it is the latest.

Im definetly not one to flame usually, you guys can stop crying now. Im just stating the obvious... if its something hard to find, i will always post a link... you can check my other posts but this is blatantly obvious so its well deserved. A little constructive criticism is how everybody learns, its most likely how you guys even learned.

I did not know there were so many mods on this site. Weird.

okay, so on throttling...

i want to use the tool on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888372. i was reading through the t-mobile guide on throttling, and i got to page 9 without finding my answer. there are 39 pages, and i'm sorry if it offends someone that i didnt read through them all. so, my question is, will this tool work on my g2? or will it break it? i have back ups of both the stock rooted g2 rom, and my cyangoen user customized rom on my phone and on my computer. but i'd really rather not wait the ten minutes without internet that is going to happen if this ****s up.
EDIT: Okay so just be clear, this a post, about a tool, for the htc EVO, linked up there, that i want to know, whether it would be safe to use, on my G2

Dude, at least *try* to do your own research before starting a new thread. No more than halfway down on the first page of this subforum is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863923
How to defeat data throttling, specifically built for the G2.

Why would you think something made specificly for another phone would work on the G2. There is a thread in development for this subject and give instructions on how to defeat the data throttling, if those instructions are to complicated for you to follow then I think you might have to wait for someone here in the G2 forum to come up with a one click solution.

why does everyone on xda think im retarded? I just want to know, if it would be safe to use. as from what i can tell, it only edits the services.jar file. I did not say i could not follow the directions on how to defeat throttling. I did not say i couldnt handle it. what i did say, was IS IT SAFE TO USE.

I misunderstood your original post.
However, here's what I'm thinking (no I didn't try it, I don't care about data throttling, but I did read the OP on both links). Given that this is a services.jar edit, and the threads linked specifically say that each ROM's services.jar file is different (hence the lack of a single solution for all ROMs), I would say that this is *probably* not a good idea to use across devices.
As mentioned above though, simply do a nandroid and then try it yourself - as long as you can boot into recovery, you can restore the nandroid if it doesn't and then the only thing you've wasted is ~15-20 minutes of your own time.

what im going to try, as per a message from a user, is to use the t-mobile services.jar in the zip, an edited version, and use it that way.
the reason i did ask, is that as my phone is the only source of internet i have atm, i dont want to break it permanently, or to a point where i need to have the internet to fix it.

you can follow instructions eh? well so can i. i rooted my device, installed cyanogen on it, ive edited several other things on my phone, as per the instructions of others. Notice how i asked before i actually went through with the update? i figured hey, there's a lot of guys more knowledgeable than me on here, why not see if someone knows the answer before i end up possibly having to come back here asking for help.
But then there are retards like you. My major, is computer science. my speciality is non unix-based programming. linux is a fun little project for me, not my life. that being said, when someone out there has much more experience in an area than me, i'm not afraid to ask for help. Someone who actually understands what i am asking, like the guy above me, and the nice guy who pm'ed me knows that i'm not asking a stupid question.
So here is a little quote to live by, "There are stupid questions. But if I(jenlow) am asking a question, you can guarantee it isnt because i didnt simply miss something.
now troll, crawl into your little hole, and keep extorting the patience of those that cross your bridge.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I think i hear a troll growing, oh ****, sorry, i forgot i was feeding one. Peace.

in case anyone competent wants to check this out, here is what i have done so far. i did not flash the original tool, but i did open the tool up and replace the services.jar with an edited version using the cyanogen cm6.1.1 stable releases copy of services.jar repacked it, and tried to flash. I got ~"trying to update>opening update>update failed (bad)" in the clockwork recovery language. i didnt edit anything about the tool other than the version of services.jar inside of it.
the version i used from cyanogen, i edited following the how to defeat data throttling instructions with the windows script.

and lol to the guy who rated this thread one star. ONE GUY. ha ha hahahahahahah.

Well here's my two cents on 2 topics...
On topic : I think making a zip file for instantaneous data cap removal would be great. I did the data throttle removal when it first came about to the G2 but the kicker is that I really dislike cyanogen roms and reverted back to stock shortly after. I forget just exactly how to repack a zip like this but messed with it in Flippys overclocking zip to make my own 1.9ghz update.zip a while back. Hopefully I can make one if Jenlow doesn't figure it out before me. I personally find it to be a good overall question that is sprouting some good ideas
I mean the possibility of a zip format throttle remover would benefit the entire community so why fight about it?
Off topic : Soooooo about this internet.... I have a friend who is paying $25/mo for a 1mbit connection in his apartment. I used my speedtest app in his living room. I got roughly 9.6mbits down. (Who the hell cares about up speeds though lol)
I pay exactly the same price he does for a lan as I do for my data and it is nearly 10x faster. In cases like that, it's more than worth it to use your phone as your source for internet.
/debate

The only troll I see in this thread is the OP; otherwise, said OP would have searched the "G2 and Desire Z Android Development" section and/or just click on the second-to-last link of my signature. Considering that I must've flashed a modified system.jar to my own phone at least two dozen times over various ROMs (including the current GingerVillain), I'd say it's safe.

Q and a no replies?!?!?!?!!!

Why questions and answers? Ok so I set up an account here in xda hoping to get some useful insight about some things for my phone. Well since I just set up account here on XDA can only post here. WELL I GOT NP REPLIES THANKS. So my question now is what is the point of strickening new members to q and a only if no one responds? Guess ill have to stick to phandroid.

I know it can be frustrating at times especially when you need an answer asap.. but there may be a few reasons why no one answers your question
-its been asked way too many times (search for it)
-no one understands your question or knows the answer
-the evo 4g isn't neccesarily "new" therefore there's less traffic in this forum
-People work have other things to deal with and it may be a while (sometimes a long while) before you get an answer.

Basically covered all the reasons why not to reply.

And when your question is about MetroPCS (I checked), you're less likely to get replies because the vast majority of members here use Sprint.
If there's a specific site for phones flashed to other networks, you'd be better asking there. People can't answer what they don't know.

Don't know your question but if it pertains to flashing to other networks maybe try Howardforums

Not going to beat a dead horse here but another tip here that you didn't hear from me is the bump. You posted that question 5 days ago and I assume was 3-5 pages back by now. I usually give my post a day then go back in and post the "anyone figure this out yet?" bump. Usually it will get a response. Like they already said, this forum is over a year old. Most have moved on and the ones that are here with the answers usually only bounce in and out of their own Rom threads.
teh roxxors is one of the RARE people that come slumming back to us from the 3d world to help out lol.

Experienced users do post in the Q & A section. And to make a thread just to see if it gets attention seems like a trap / childish [to me] , just like a person would pretend to have a fake bf/gf to see if the other gets jealous. Though regardless, experienced user do post here, I've seen it quite frequently. IF there were some question that wasn't answered and someone knows someone who can help, 9/10 that personal would say, "I don't know how to help,but if you look up _______ they can help you."
Also, the only place you can't post til abot 20 posts or so, if the development section. That's only because a lot of new users post Q & A questions there, clogging up that board, when they belong here. You can still read and download rom, just can't post there til ~20 posts, when you are more 'educated' on the forum. No bad mouthing, just saying.

I totally understand cause yea you do see it all the time where at the end of a guide full of roms. Someone asks what's a good rom or where do I find it. We should be able to take a test on experience to bypass the 20 post thing. My frustration came from knowing my answered would of lyed on this forum but no one even viewed it for days. I'm over that's what I get for getting a device that's over a year old. But hey its a big step up from my old one.

[info] Basic Informations about HOX, sense and the universe

Hy community,
I once was a newbie on XDA (and still am ^^), but with the time I understood more and more things, now I want to give back and condensate the Information I got to answer questions I see often in multiple threads.
there are more and more questions about sense and roms and SOFF and if your phone can control your mind if you take an image of a brain as your wallpaper...
So here is the
officially unofficial "Question's you better not ask"
thread.​
Feel free to add your 2 cents in the comments, I will try to keep this updated with your ideas
The goal of this thread is to inform the users, in order to avoid them asking those things and getting angry answers or blocking real dev work on threads.
Does this AOKP/CM9/AOSP Rom have sense ? :silly:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No ! It's like if you were asking if Linux has windows in it, if a Ferrari has a Dacia in it...
Explanation : Sense is a framework, it's like wrapped over the android OS. AOKP/AOSP/CM9 based roms are free of this framework and based on the original google android source code.
In the same idea, a sense rom doesn't contain CM9, but you can make it look like with themes or a "de-sensing".
For this exact reason, you need to wipe your phone before installing a non-sense rom over a sense one (or the other side) (even if you should wipe when going from one rom to another, sense or not.
Does this AOKP/CM9/AOSP rom contain the sense cam
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, It has to do with what is written in the first explanation.
Explanation : Most sense apps and widgets are linked to the sense framework, some more, some less, making it theoretically possible to port those apps to a fully sense framework free environement. However, the camera is solidely attached to the framework, it may be possible, but don't hope for it soon
Can I flash the boot.img from "rom A" on "rom B" ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And still the answer is : NO ! you will end in a bootloop.
Explanation : The Boot.img contains many stuff like kernel, ramdisk... and this ramdisk is different for most of the rom's and a boot.img will only fully work with an adequate ramdisk.
However, you can repack the kernell with the zImage tool which is to be found in the forums.
Can I flash the modules of Kernel A while using Kernel B ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Get used to it: no...
A specific module is for a specific Kernel. The end.
What is a RUU ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the RUU (ROM UPDATE UTILITY)
its pretty much a FACTORY RESET master file, as it resets everything HBOOT/RADIO/ROM. (thanks bagofcrap24)
Hope I could help some of you
It's open to you to contribute to the community and help the once which have less knowledge than you
Cheers

It's obvious you've spend 'a lot' of time with the intro of this thread.
But all you write is old news as all is written already, 'instructions enough'.
To my opinion this thread won't help anybody because people who don't like to read won't read anyway,
so this thread is another clutter, nothing more to my opinion as it don't bring anything new.
Mods please close?
Thanks!

When I started on XDA I was searching for a recap like this, people not wanting to read throught hundreds of pages of a well-filled thread is not meaning they won't read a recapitulative thread...
Is a post trying to help others such a pain for you ? If this can help one person and avoid a single useless post on a single thread I will be more than happy.
I hope you can revise your judgment...

You just created a extra thread, nope I won't revise my statement.
Probably you have good intensions, but to my opinion this thread is clutter and a waist.

I agree. This is the strangest forum I've participated in on XDA. Here's some personality categories I’ve observed.
* Narcissist’s - in spite of a topic or point being posted multiple times in an already open thread, people feel that they're experiencing of an issue is somehow more important than anyone/everyone else's. They have no problem starting a new thread saying "I know this has been posted before, but..." Hint: before you post, ask yourself are you posting for the benefit of others or for yourself?
* Newbies with Attitudes - Not picking on this user in particular but this is an excellent example.

Not only is it naive, it's wrong. Had it been posted as a question "what's the difference between the 2.X and 3.X kernel?" the poster would have realized s/he's uninformed. Hint: instead of coming out with both guns blazing, ask a question rather than making a statement if you're not sure about what you're talking about.
* Martyrs - Yes, the One X has launch issues. More than it should. They're all well known by now. Similar to the narcissists, the martyrs relish reiterating the same complaints amongst themselves in page after page in a thread. Hint: No one here can help you. Rather than ***** pointlessly figure out how to get your problem resolved. I'm not having any problems but it took me all of five minutes to find the two most senior HTC execs in Europe that oversee customer service so those with issues could have someone to write to and seek help. Hint: Don't just post "*****es," post potential remedies.
There are other personality categories unique to the One X forum but you get my point. I love my One X but sure wish it came with SGS3 forum.

Can someone please tell me what a ruu is?
I'm used to Samsung devices.

Google it, but I understand that's hard for you if you always used Sumsung.

the RUU (ROM UPDATE UTILITY)
its pretty much a FACTORY RESET master file
as in it resets everything HBOOT/RADIO/ROM
the closest equivelent i can think of is like ODIN for samsung
you download the latest RUU for your phone
in my case generic (ruu_endeavor_u_ics_40_htc_europe_1.29.401.11_radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed_c9d22.exe)
plug your oneX in and run it, it will fully return your phone to stock

A RUU is the full ROM installation utility from HTC, using it will fully reset your phone to the same state when you bought it (only thing it won't change is the fact your phone is locked/unlocked if I remember well), can't tell you what it wouldb be in Samsung-land ut probably samsungs Odin flashable base rom.
Hope I could help
"burned" ^^

Sweet. :cyclops: ^^
Hopefully when this thread has 56 pages people still bother to find the time to have a search about the answers.
And remember if you just search the word >> 'RUU'...... (top right corner of XDA )
But your time and effort is much appriciated I ques.
Time for me to live this thread it's own live and 'unscribe' as I'm getting nuts of the notifications already.

Lords and Lady's, let me present you the angry person not even trying to see that the OP has been updated with the new question and answers.
Clap clap for his herpaderp !
Now please, let people decide themselves if they want to help each other and go kill some ants in your backyard, you need to cool down a bit...

I'm not angry and I don't need to cool down but thank you!
Please, go read back and tell me what you learned from this thread?

That it seems to be your pleasure to ruin an effort to help people which might not be as well informed as you are, to criticize without any reasons they way I spend my free time trying to help (even if I only can offer a bit).
Go on, say what you want, my part of this discussion is done and I'm really sorry for this thread to have become such a mess because of one single person.

Nope I'm not trying to ruin an effort, I'm just trying to make a point clear.
I already told the Op that I understand his effort.

I find this especially galling considering that between us Laurentius26 and I have 1,600 "thanks" and you have a whopping 16. Your heart is in the right place, your approach needs work.

This might help new users to get them started @ XDA
To OP: Good work mate .. This is how most of us started

Closing thread as we have already guides with the same topics you kindly posted here.
Besides going off topic

WOW So I can't

Post in the dev threads yet because I'm new.Smack in my face. I been here for on and off for years and now i register and cant post with devs until I have 10 post....LAME
Anyways Im going to give Holy grail Rom a try. i was using Jelly Bomb but it seems bloated to me and all that blue is kinda of unnecessary. It may the best for 12 year old kids but not me, either way it is a awesome rom

I'm kind of in the same boat. I've been trolling forever and now have an issue updating to the latest ROMs and can't actually post in the proper place until I make 10 posts about things I don't care about.
Thanks for giving me a reason to post!
In case anyone can answer my question before I get to 10 posts....I've been using Jelly Bomb for some time now and have never had any problems installing the latest ROM. However when I try to install the latest 14.0 version I get stuck on the Samsung boot screen. I cleared everything, reset everything. Only thing I can do is get back in and restore my backup. I tried a different ROM with the newest additions (multiview and whatnot) and the same thing happened. Any thoughts on why I can't get my phone to load ROMs with the new stuff?
Thanks!

Humm I dont know about that one. hopefully someone else can help

Did you do a clean install and if so what/how did you do it. Did you check the md5 sum? How did you download the ROM? On your phone? On a computer then transfer it over etc. The more info the better.

I'm thinking bad dl
To the OP, we all had to go through it and best thing to do if you don't like a devs work is to not use it, plus you can always look for a theme if colors an issue, no need to bash any devs, they bust arse so we can use their work.....just saying :good:

10 post rule is to protect developers from spammers and new members who do not know the proper place or what to post.
Specifically that now questions are being asked here in General after the initial "gripe."
So this is being moved to Q&A where ALL questions should go, not a general thread to make your 10 posts to hound a dev
You will get quicker and more considerate answers in Q&A, especially if you did not search the ROM thread before asking
Thank you

Not really trolling, more like lurking.

I'm just gonna go ahead and call BS on those whiners who are stuck with <10 posts. I'm qualified to do so since I was recently one of them. The truth is if you are not at least somewhat interested in phone tech, (even if it's just for your model of phone), you should not be rooting and romming. I say that because if you want root or a custom rom on your phone, you should at the very least, have spent time reading about it. Not for 15 minutes or 1/2 hour but several hours. If you realize while reading about it, that the subject matter just can't hold your attention, then you probably shouldn't be playing around with your phones software in the first place, and you definitely shouldn't be rooting your phone . Before rooting and installing a rom, you should have a pretty good idea why you want a rooted phone and custom rom in the first place, and "just because" doesn't cut it. If you want to do it just because you can, good luck with that.
But if you're really interested in the tech stuff about your phone, then you'll probably spend some free time perusing these pages and you should have no problem finding 10 things to either ask a question about, or offer a helpful comment or advice to someone needing it.

I actually think its fair, the 10 post rule.. i even felt bad that ive been using these forum for so many years and i dont even have 10 posts under my name. I necer really needed to because i always found what im looking for in past threads but when i wanted to thank a dev for his great work, i couldnt post :/
Anyway were you able to download the new roms? Ive read that people often have problems depending on the method used to download the rom and flashing it.. also you can try to do the wiping process after you install the rom also..hope you get to enjoy these new features soon pal.
