First, has anyone had success loading this on w/o root? Does the update delete everything on my phone? How smooth does it run?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
of your talking about the PCIMG.zip that was leaked , there is no reason for root its a signed image by HTC so you flash it to your phone officialy, now if you are looking into the other custom Gingerbread, those have root and you will need a custom revovery
and yes i flashed it on my softbrick g2 and it runs smooths really smooth have seen any real issue with it
Yes I'm talking of the official signed one. Not looking to root yet. Will it delete my data?

to be honest i dont really know... my g2 was softbricked so couldnt say, i dont think it would also be warn there is no downgrade method or a root method when you do this flash
If its smooth and useable that's not a problem.

Yes, the PC10IMG.zip will delete all data on the phone. I used it on my girls unrooted phone. Which doesn't make sense, since it will be OTA update someday.. and looks like it'll be deleting peoples data..but doesn't bother her or me really.. atleast the update will be running on a wiped clean system..

I'm new so not sure if there was something I could have done differently, but my update wiped it clean. I'm actually happy with the clean wipe because it gave me the chance and the reason to rebuild my homescreens and only install the apps I actually used, my phone had gotten a little bloated with some unused apps. I know the OTA will be out soon but I'm impatient and wanted it NOW.
Anyone else have an experience with the update.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
yea since its a PCIMG it will do that cause your flashing a whole new system into it and its gonna wipe it, its not a incremantal update, where it would back up your data then flash new rom and pout your data back,

I may be wrong but it looks to me like you are on the official update. Do you still have root? Is your phone still s-off?

Sounds like you might have had a bad flash or something and didn't get root on properly. Have you tried doing it again? Are you doing it through ODIN or CWM?
Honestly don't let the ICS and JB goodness sway you... the new ROMs still have little issues here and there... GB was _AWESOME_

Former Evo owner here myself and must say this is a hell of a phone with a great set of roms. Now not as much choices as we had back in the day with the Evo but good roms none-the-less. I would do yourself a favor and really not read into too much of the user reviews here. I see a lot of user error and just terrible flashing habits and a lot of complaining about issues with roms that quite frankly are created by the users bad flashing habits.
You had some good suggestions in here and great choice of stable roms like tdjs rom jamison904 rom
CM9 or AOKP

I see an update in the Playstore, but I'm not willing to risk it at this point. @ Playaa thanks I'll weigh those options along with the other ROM that was suggested to me.
By the way, I read that in ICS there is a method for Tmobile to track tethering and start charging you for it even if you have a custom ROM. Is this so?

Deff agree on that one. But alas, i will miss alot of the OG functions from touchwiz on this phone. Although with GN1, they found work arounds for it. Especially S Note.
My plan is to root as late as I can to avoid messing things up. I figure we won't see an update for a few weeks and by then all the bugs that come along with rooting a phone should be worked out. I really enjoy this phone and can, surprisingly, wait on rooting.

Hello everyone. My wife has a newly purchased S4 from Tmobile. We rooted it right away and installed TWRP. Everything else is stock. Even kept the bloatware hanging around... She has had some random reboots from time to time not often but like 3-4 times since she has had the phone. Google searches turn up random bits of info so I thought I'd ask the experts here at good olé XDA. I've seen some advice to factory reset but wouldn't that lose root? Also some say it could be SD card related.. There is no common theme to it happening.. I guess we could return it. I was hoping to avoid that though... Any thoughts? Thanks for any help!

You're probably getting reboots because of the method you used to root.
I was getting tons of problems with my phone because the way I previously rooted the device.
I used this way and I get absolutely no more problems.
Now, after you root with the above method, you will have to install a custom recovery (I recommend TWRP).
Do that through goomanager.
(Search goomanager in app store, install, open, hit menu, then hit "install custom recovery.)
Hope this helps.

You're probably getting reboots because of the method you used to root.
I was getting tons of problems with my phone because the way I previously rooted the device.
I used this way and I get absolutely no more problems.
Now, after you root with the above method, you will have to install a custom recovery (I recommend TWRP).
Do that through goomanager.
(Search goomanager in app store, install, open, hit menu, then hit "install custom recovery.)
Hope this helps.
Damn, Eflip douche is on a roll today.
Someone hasn't got laid in a while ;o.

Thanks for the info. She appears to be on an MDL baseband. Would it work with that? I forget exactly which thread I used to root it.. I used Odin and some zip files with TWRP and it seems like we had to do something with the bootloader... This was a few weeks ago.
And a follow up question. How would the rooting method effect the stability of the device, Causing RR added such?

Ah yes the TWRP root method.
That's the faulty method that is causing problems.
Once you odin to stock by following the steps in the thread above, everything will be taken off the phone, it will absolutely work with that baseband, yes.
Use the CF Autoroot method in the video I posted above and follow the steps i explained about goomanager.
You will love being rooted with TWRP from goomanager. You will then be able to flash custom roms which will make the phone a lot speedier and more responsive. In most cases, better battery life also.
(I am on the Darthstalker rom and it is super fast!)

Well great thanks! I will do this. We will most likely not flash a custom rom for her purposes. If I root per the method above would it be necessary to install TWRP via Goo? If we're not going to be flashing mods and roms to her phone I'm not sure what we would use it for...

No, it is NOT necessary to install TWRP, you can have the rooted device with the stock recovery on it with no problems .
I have a few quick questions on this device, I personally deal strictly with htc devices but my wife loves this phone.
Ok a little background.
The phone has been flashed to boost. And is on stock Sprint gb27 jb, unrooted.
Where is a good thread to get this rooted? and after the recovery gets installed being it's flashed to boost anything I should not flash? Thanks guys

Check out rwilcows repository it contains everything you will need to flash.
If you flash from Odin the rooted same build you won't need to factory reset.

Not taken wrong at all. I've actually been modding phones since the g1 dream days and still very active on the HTC one xl forum just havent messed with a Samsung since the boost galaxy prevail. And the read fully part you mentioned... Read some of my posts from the one xl q n a forum.. I just wanted a push in the right direction. Main concern is the rom install. Will it mess with anything that's been flashed to convert to boost? Prl?

Here's qbking's video on how to root on jb:
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rnk617FffXY&desktop_uri=/watch?v=Rnk617FffXY
And here's everything you need from rwilco12:
http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Devic...Sprint) (SPH-D710)/Tutorials/SPHD710-Root.php
Just make sure you read, read, read. And your prl, being on Boost, will not change. And as long as you have a jb modem(gb27, gb28, or gc01), you'll have data. But if you flash a Sprint rom you'll have to research how to change mmsc in order to send mms. To avoid that, if your wife wants stock, flash a GC01(Boost) rom after you root. Here's mine, deodexed, debloated, and since it's stock, you can build it up to your wife's liking. Good luck, happy flashing:thumbup:

By the way, if you flashed the phone to Boost you're better off just keeping a stock Boost ROM handy.
That way you're not having to mod the MMS settings to get it to work right.
From there you can pick up a custom kernel/recovery and flash away.
(I personally recommend mine but there are others to choose from...)
Welcome and enjoy!
