Root [T-Mobile] M7 no OS - HELP please

[SolApathy]

Awesome job, Earlymon. Sometimes you just just have to break out of Windows and use an OS that works!

 

[EarlyMon]

Thanks, I just hope he was able to finish the install.

Best day of my life. Phone booted up fine, and I'm pretty happy with Venom.

Is there anyway to get it back to stock? (Please don't hurt me for asking)

Also, is there anyway I can contribute for your time and efforts? I have used many forums to deal with issues with my network, car, and motorcycle; I've never had someone as helpful and responsive in such a short amount of time and with such clarity.

 

[EarlyMon]

Yeah, you can get it back to stock.

I actually did all of this from my phone and going by memory for my HTC lmao - and I've never taken a phone back to stock personally, and I don't own this model - so I don't know how to fully advise on that. I know the general idea because I read about it once.

You can check around this forum, I have to believe that others have done it already.

But first, a commercial - why?

With Viper you can get just a bit more performance than stock, you can use things like MyBackup Root and nandroid backups and never be screwed up like you can with stock.

One thing to note, you never want to take a carrier or HTC update directly when rooted.

Anyway, it's your choice and as I mentioned, I'm sure someone has instructions, and links to the pieces you'll need, for it here somewhere.

Thanks for the compliment, glad you got it sorted.

Check your inbox, I'm actually a Nigerian princess and I just need your deposit slip to make us both rich. Rotflmao

Haha.

Well either way, much appreciated.

I was just curious, I enjoy not having all the "junk" on my phone and it does run really well. I plan on keeping this Rom, but who knows what I'll do with this phone once I get back from deployment and want to buy the new Sony =o).

Oh and about the Terminal vs CMD thing, my buddies know about as much about computers as I do... squat!

 

[EarlyMon]

Lol fair enough.

Of course, I'm probably not alone in being curious where they sent you, and hope you'll be home safe with family pdq.

And yeah - Viper rocks. Wait until you get inside and start moving and customizing. It's pretty good.

Ah, I'm in Kuwait. Working a desk job, safer here than most inner cities. I also got to check out Jordan for a couple months, amazing... and eventually trying to get a little vacay in Thailand. Couldn't be more cake.

Thanks for an awesome introduction/ first impression to this forum. Makes me want to root by Samsung too (S3... yea I'm behind times).

 

[EarlyMon]

Nice on the job.

Yeah, I have no problem with the SGS3, I think I still like it better than the two that followed to be honest. Let me know if you need help rooting it, I can point you at some buds that have the know how for that one.
