    Thinking of Jumping Ship

    I'm really considering putting my phone up for trade for an HTC One SV (Boost Mobile version). I want 4G LTE, but I really prefer HTC phones. Unless Virgin picks up an HTC 4G LTE phone, I may be setting my sights on another device. There's not much action there, but if I jump in soon enough I...

    Root My Phone is a BRICK!!!

    There are too many threads around here where people say they've bricked their phones. To be clear, in 99.9% of cases, your phone is *not* bricked unless it won't turn on AND you don't have a charging light on your phone. Even then, it's best to wait a day before you declare it a total brick...

    Root Custom ROMs & Carrier Codes

    I just replied to someone about needing to be on a stock-based ROM to use carrier codes, e.g. ##3282#. Does anyone know why it is that the custom ROMs (AOKP, AOSP, etc.) can't use these?

    Root In Need of A Favor (64-bit Windows Drivers)

    Hi everybody, I've just made a simple exe file that I *believe* will automatically install the 64-bit drivers for Windows. The problem is that I don't have a 64-bit copy of Windows to test it on, so I'm looking for someone here that would be willing to be the guinea pig on this. It won't break...

    Root Cm10 roms?

    I'm just trying to gauge people's success with CM10-based ROMS around here. Obvious prerequisites are S-OFF with a downgraded HBOOT (1.50.5050 or the engineering HBOOT) I haven't had good luck with them, so I steer clear nowadays... wondering if I'm alone in that respect & wonder what the...

    Root I Doesn't Afraid of Anything/S-OFF on 1.58.0000

    I doesn't afraid of anything & I got S-OFF on the 1.58.0000 HBOOT/2.95 OTA. 2nd try, worked like a charm. Just took me a while because my hard drive crashed a couple days ago and the LiveCD I was using was a pain in the neck to get working properly. Used my guide with great success, no problems.

    Root Who Makes RUUs?

    Are the RUUs only made by HTC? From what I understand, the issue is assigning a valid HTC signature to the firmware so that the phone will take it without question. Is this correct? My hacking wheels are turning.

    Root Have You Tried TWRP Lately? (2.4.4.0)

    It's fairly common that people install TWRP 1.x through a root guide, then later install 4ext recovery. I had never used TWRP in my life, but I was curious as to how it ran, so I installed it. My opinion? It's a great recovery. Very intuitive, easy to use. One thing that I thought was...

    Root Confirming Unrooted S-OFF

    Hi everybody, Just thought I'd let you all know that I just got a new HTC Evo V 4G today on the $99.99 Radioshack sale. From complete stock, I did a HTCDev unlock, then thought about running the RUU (decided against it when my phone's software was newer than the RUU). From there I did the...

    Root Flashing 4ext after unlock?

    I noticed that the complete newbie's guide asks users to flash TWRP after unlock, but I was wondering if anyone here knows whether there would be a problem flashing 4ext instead? I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I wanted to get some advice before I suggest it to others.
