Develop Bugs

[Q] So is there any new updates on how to root?

Just wondering cause I seen my friend with his CM7 root and loved it. I've been researching for a couple of days now including reading the wiki but want a clear cut choice from someone who has rooted and I want to make sure I use the newest safest method.

I followed the Wiki http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD on this site about a week ago and it worked for me. Wasn't too hard but you should follow the instructions to the letter. Read and re-read and then make sure you have the ability to do all the steps before you actually start. There is nothing scarier than watching your phone get stuck in a boot and thinking you have bricked it!
Having said that, I'm running CM 7 RC2 now and it's made my phone so much better.

And if you don't have ADB, this was helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685

I see nothing you developed in this thread dude...do you not know what Q&A means????? Just in case its questions and answers. Sorry for being harsh but this **** is so easy to avoid you kind of deserve it

Was also looking for an all in one guide but no luck. They have it on Desire HD it was so simple and easy to follow. the wiki was fine though. If you found one hope you could share it. I'm not even sure if I missed something.

How did he post here with only 8 posts??

Thanks Tangiers for the info but to Spastic 909 thank you for being useless dude I asked for advice in the wrong spot sorry. I wonder if I had posted in the right spot if you would have even posted anything I'm guessing not. +1 for the Troll then I guess.

You are welcome. Good luck and don't be put off by it looking complicated. I am no expert but managed to do it without any problems.
And once you have root, a whole new world of fun opens!

Question; Evo on Boost Mobile?

I've searched high and low, and found no definitive answer on how to get an HTC Evo working on Boost Mobile. Just a bunch of threads pre-2011 with flaming, some people saying it's impossible, some saying it's not and their phone works just fine with Boost.
My phone has been both rooted and carrier unlocked. Clean ESN and all that good stuff.
I need to know:
1) Is there any specific ROM I need to have to use Boost? If so, what is the link for that?
2) What PRL should I be using, and again, where can I find that?
Believe me when I say I've been searching through countless threads to find the answer. All there is to be found through searches is a pile of flaming.
Any help is much appreciated. And again, if there are threads on this, I certainly wasn't able to find them.

bump, someone help out a Marine?

You can use any rom with boost and you can use the latest sprint prl. The information needed to connect to boost is not at the rom level and boost uses sprint network so use a sprint prl. However you can't flash new radios without messing it up I believe. Roms are ok.

Wonderful. Thank you for the help!

You can flash nv/radio/pri without messing up your setup.

Paratool Noob Questions (DeOdexed Question) US Cellular=Sprint?

I consider myself fairly capable with rooting/etc, but I got a new Galaxy S3 recently and it came with literally 5 pages of samsung bloatware and its impossible to find the apps I want.
After searching for bloatware removal I saw Paratool, and absolutely love it.
My two questions:
1) I've seen a few people reference that Sprint ROMS/software works just fine with the US Cellular SCH-R530 model. The download I chose for rooting was a sprint one, so I imagine this is correct, I just want to make sure.
2) When you install a Stock DeOdexed ROM, is it rooted? I'm not familiar with the concept itself. If anyone has a link to the appropriate download that would be nice, if not just the correct things to search for. Getting a lot of results via google and not sure where to look.
Just a bit confused and I'd rather be informed before messing with my phone.

I don't know as far as the sprint=us cellular thing goes, but I'm pretty sure all custom ROM's are gonna be rooted.

Just FYI, asking about which Roms you should go with will be a quick road to nowhere. Just head to the development sections, read the chagelogs for what you may want, download, flash and test.

I did that and tried most of them ... before with my old S4
So that's why I'm posting here, to see what more experience ppl might thing that a more reliable rom would be (or setup)
thanks

That is kinda different for everyone though and how they use thier device
Also how you need to try different roms for yourself.
what is good for me might not be good for you.
If you have MK2 on it already might be the only concern.
If you are only try 4.3 or higer roms from my understanding.
And you will have knox on the phone then and no way to get rid of it.

Threads asking which roms are the best are not allowed.
Reasking which roms are the best after it's been explained that you shouldn't ask that isn't allowed.
Then asking for answers to questions that have been answered so many hundreds of times in so much unblievable depth that ANY search at all would produce multiple pages of results explaining everything is frowned upon.
Please please please search before posting in the future, especially before starting new threads.
Experience with ROM's does not matter at all in relation to which rom is the best. Only YOU can decide what rom is best for YOU. No one else can help with that process. The most experiences guy in the world might want a really simpel ROM. The biggest novice might want 8 bagillion settings to play with. Or vice versa. This is why such threads are not permitted on XDA.
I promise you that if you search first, and read multiple posts about a subject rather than ask for the answers to be spoonfed to you, that you will learn about this stuff VERY FAST. You will no longer be a novice and will be the one answering someone else's questions in pretty quick time. It's the ONLY way to learn this stuff. It cannot be learned by having the answered handed to you. It's reading posts and seeing how different variations of things have different outcomes that will quickly make you pretty good at this stuff.
It takes more time, but the payoff is much greater. You don't just end up with a mod you want. You end up understanding the mod you want.

I did some reading before posting, and I could not get my answers after almost 1 hour of surfing over a few pages in different sections. Consider also that I did root and installed custom roms for the last years on at least 10 different phone models. So I'm sure some people here might even have a harder time, understanding some things.
I will respect the forum rules and I apologies for any inconvenience.
Though, it sounds like a very communist rule not to be able to express, what you find as the best rom for you, and why you find it as the best rom, or fit for you.

Wicked v9 just came out. I'd flash that:

Its because it often degrades into a battle between one 14 year old who likes X ROM and another 13 year old who loves Y ROM who start fighting about it.
And if such threads aren't contained early, then half the threads on the forum list become ROM comparison threads and nothing of substance ever gets talked about. (Because such discussion will unfortunately never be contained to a single thread.)
And none if it has any relevance to anything. No matter what reasons Joe has for loving his rom, John might hate it for those same reasons. And you might think they are both nuts because a 3rd ROM is the best one ever.
Again, the ONLY way to see what ROM is best for you is to try different ones. It's the only possible way to make this determination.
And it takes a lot more than an hour of reading. Phone modding is not a quickie change. It's an insanely time consuming hobby that will isolate you from friends and family because you'll start to think dinner and a night out and Christmas and stuff like that can wait because you HAVE to flash the latest update to X ROM RIGHT NOW!!!!! Be careful getting into this...it consumes you pretty quick.

I am on wicked v8 and I do notice it's quite nice much less force closes and system (phone) restarts than I am used to after flashing a rom. Smooth and fast. I am just reporting my experience, I like many roms but this one does seem quite smooth and nice and has a cool installer. But ultimately the choice is yours. I can say most any ROM that's on here and available for download should be working very nicely to be released to the public, and should not have a lot if any errors. They don't let junk rom's release here with loads of errors and bugs.
So they all should work good its really a matter of seeing the features you like best and choosing from that. If you really want to compare roms read the comments made by people who use them in that rom's section and see which rom has the most people saying they love it lol

Rooting verizon note 4

Hello, I was wondering if there were any break throughs in rooting the sm-n910v I know there is a ton on stuff online about it, but it all seems to be from 2015. I can't seem to find any information recent about it. I am wondering if there is any kind of root option. I think i seen something that says you can downgrade to 4.4.4, I think it was. If this is the case is it permanent and if so can someone put me in the direction of a good walk-through. I am also sorry if there is something recent that i looked over. Thank you in advance for any help offered in this matter. One more thing I do not own the developer edition obviously.

Read the threads, all the info is there. You can even cheat and skip to the end and read the most recent posts. Nothing yet.
