2. Odin can increases you flash count when you flash something. There are ways around it in order to avoid it.
3. Unofficial roms are pretty stable. They are superfast updating to the latest leaks. There are ton of people working on this rom.

Don't be scared dude. As long as you do everything the way it says to, then you'll be straight. Make sure one of the 1st things you do is flash clockwork mod. Once you have that, do a backup of your existing ROM. After that, even if you brick, there's always a way to get it back(for the most part)

[Q] EVO 3D lagging, not as fast and smooth as before.

So I rooted my EVO 3D with unrEVOked, and I noticed some problems, so I went back to 100% complete stock. So after a couple of days, I started getting SMS errors and radio interfearances. Well I got it fixed a while ago, but it also lagged once in a while when I'm typing a message, sometimes scrolling through screens, when I make my phone go to sleep, it like sleeps then wakes up right away, but now it's been like around two weeks, and I've been having a little more lag when I'm typing a message, or making the phone go to sleep, so I have to keep restarting the phone to make it run smooth and fast. I updated the phone already, and idk if its the update or the root that messed up the phone, but if anyone knows HOW this happened, and how I can get rid of this lag, then PLEASE help me out, cause this lag is pissing me off. Thanks.
Root your phone again and get rid of that sprint crap...problem solved..hehe

But I updated my phone to the latest version. Can I still root it?
U can through HTC but u can't flash very much..just 2.3.4 stuff...do u have s-on or s-off?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Oh, well then how do I root it again? Cause I mean the lag pisses me off.
Go to htcdev.com and unlock your phone then find the Su zip in the dev section,then flash a recovery either twrp or cwm then u should be good...I'm assuming you have s-on correct?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Oh alrite then, nd yes I do.
Wait, and another thing, can I still root if I have 2.3.4??
Then yeah follow the directions from HTC then do the rest and flash 2.3.4 roms u won't be able to flash kernels yet but u will soon..should find some good roms from the devs

As long as u flash the Su zip then you will b rooted and flash a recovery I prefer twrp...go to the development section and there will b a walkthrough
For ya...
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
After you flash a recovery like twrp make sure you wipe everything including cache and the complete wipe of the phone before flashing any ROM, I think that's why your experiencing lag because you flashed over the stock ROM when you should of wiped everything before flashing.

Well, most people that first come here don't know what they are doing. I think what you meant to say is, if you don't even know where or how to find a guide on rooting and flashing then before attempting anything, there is one thing you should do first. READ!!!! Read the stickies in the dev forum. Read the links in the stickies in the dev forum. Use Google to find as much info on the internet as you can before attempting anything!!! Please, for your own good read as much as you can. We cannot hold your hand through it. You need to be able to do this on your own. Read until you become familiar with the terminology. Then if you still don't understand come back here and ask. If you do that we will understand your questions better and you will understand the answers better. We all started out knowing nothing about this. I read on these forums for 2 years before posting anything. I am by no means a professional, but I do understand how to search for and find the answers to my questions.

Edit: Whenever I connect my phone to my computer, it won't show up and I can't add anything to my internal SD.
Edit 2: I got it. I appreciate the help anyways.
Should be very similar as how you flashed the rom you currently have. Not to be a smartass but the op also posted instructions on how to flash. You just need to download the rom and the current gapps for jb and flash using twrp or cmw. Great rom too. For me not quite ready for a daily driver but really good.

Asurion upgrade to Rezound from Droid Charge, Help me transition please.

Hey all,
Just got a Rezound as a replacement for my Droid Charge. This is my first HTC phone since the Touch Pro 2. I was a regular visitor to the DC forums and tried every custom rom and hack you could find there. Coming to the Rezound and reading about the root methods and custom roms seems a bit daunting compared to the method for Samsung phones. I would really like to just start with Stock Rooted and was hoping that this all in one tool will help me achieve that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504824 Can someone confirm this for me. Also, do I need to have the supersu apk on my sdcard or will that tool provide it as well?
Also, will using CWM be okay (purely out of familiarity) once I start tinkering with custom roms and the such? Seems like there is another recovery more popular here.
Any video on someone flashing a custom rom on this phone from start to finish? That would help a lot.
So far I am loving this phone. HD screen is awesome, camera quality took a shot compared to my DC but I don't really care. Much needed boost in processor power finally allows me to play games I previously purchased but didn't have a strong enough phone to play.
I am looking forward to getting to learn more about this phone and participate in future discussions. Soon as I get a custom rom (maybe this weekend) up I will be in full force! Thanks for all of your help in advance.
When it comes to recoveries just use amon ra. Seems like to me there is a lot less problems with it. The all in one toolkit is awesome. It is were I started. Just read the tutorial that is with the all in one. That's all I did. I came from a droid.charge so I know the.difference between the two. I would recommend s off though. Not as scary as it sounds. And it frees your device. So much more u can do such as putting global capabilities to use.
Also a link for all in one soff tool kit. Makes flashing so much easier.

I may request your help as you will understand my point of reference. Yeah I am working up the nerve to S-Off soon. When I saw that wire I got a bit worried. I exclaimed "REALLY?!" when I saw the procedure. My wife thought something wrong happened. Cool, well I will read up on that and figure out which Kernel Rom combo I want. Is it similar to the DC where a rom will come with the kernel in a recovery flash package? I should figure it all soon enough. Just need to get the elections out of my hair.

Yes, if you are S-off, the kernel will usually flash along with the Rom. Just read the Dev's OP before flashing any Rom as they will indicate if you need to fastboot flash the boot.img or if they have a PH98IMG.zip to flash separately. Honestly though, I am considering resetting my security flag back to S-On and manually flashing kernels any way to prevent the risk of bricking the phone. Haven't decided yet.
As for the s-off method, don't even sweat it. just make sure you watch the video and do exactly what it does by touching the correct points with the wire and you'll get it. Not really that hard, might just have to try a few times.
So, welcome!! :highfive:

Welcome to the Rezound...I think I remember you from the Charge forums.
It looks like everyone else has taken good care of you..I just want to be another voice saying that CWM is the worst possible option for recovery on this phone. Also, I'm surprised about your camera comments. I was never able to make a good picture with the Charge no matter how hard I tried, but I can get good pics out of the Rez without any effort at all.

Good to see you here Shrike, I recognize your avatar and know that you have provided me with many helpful comments. Seeing you hear makes me feel better.
Had some more time with the camera and I formally retract my previous statement(s) about the camera. It handles indoor lighting and low lighting wayyyyy better than my charge. The charge gave nice pictures only in a well lit (sunlight) scene. What I like best is that it compensates pretty well for the flash. Things would look flushed out on shutter and appear clear in the image, vs the charge where the flash on close subjects just made white blobs.
Thanks for the warm reception everyone.

Check out my TWRP thread in the dev. If you don't want to S-OFF. It shows a great way to flash ROMs/Kernels inside of recovery while being S-ON. It's called HTC Dumlock. The official CWM sucks! Don't use it. If you use CWM use the version found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914215

Toolkit coming?

Coming from an s3 I am wondering if this may be true. Toolkit to unlock and root. Then a Odin image to revert to stock if needed
I Murder Murderers
My 2 cents, for what it's worth. Toolkits should be banned from Android. They just allow people to do stuff that is well over their head, and when they fail, the user has an "OH ****" moment and quite possibly, makes things worse trying to recover. You should learn how to do it manually so you know what you're doing, and doing anything manually also forces you to learn a few things in the process that can save you later.
Also, we already have a method back to stock, so I'm not sure why that's still needed.

This is a really good point.
When I rooted my Thunderbolt, I tried using a toolkit, and it didn't work. I was stuck halfway through the root process with no way back and no idea how to continue.
As it turned out, the download wasn't quite perfect, one of the images I was flashing to get s-off was corrupt. The toolkit never checked. I damn near bricked my phone because I was a noob and used a toolkit.
My advice is, don't do it, not for your first time. Once you understand how to recover if the toolkit fails, then you can use one. But not before.
I rooted my HTC Eris before there was a one click root/unlock app. Imagine a noob who knows nothing about Android setting up SDK and flashing images with adb. This was before you could find noob friendly guides and asking questions almost always got you flamed. I had no idea what I was doing. Once I finally rooted and unlocked I flashed a rom that boot looped. My first ever XDA post was "HELP!! Am I Bricked??".
Moral of the story, I did it the hard way and learned a little along the way. I've rooted/modded every device I've owned since.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
Yep I don't think youre broke in yet unless you've went through a few minute to an hour of sweating bullets thinking you now own a 700 dollar paper weight. First time I rooted was the original adb push method with the bolt. I skipped a step and fouled it up but recovered by just figuring it out. (Mainly cause I didn't want to get flamed) anyway. Always wanting the simple way out is not always the best. Besides it doesn't get a whole lot easier than using casual. Took like 15 minutes and 8 of that was waiting on the first flash. Its literally 3 steps. It would be that with a toolkit.
I know how to do it. Just that doing it over and over again is time cosuming

Doing it via a toolkit isn't going to save any significant amount of time as you would still need to have the images downloaded and then flash them, both of which are going to be the two longest parts of the process. There also shouldn't be a reason to ever have to unlock again as there are stock restore packages that will retain the unlock status of the phone.

Well said! I used one click methods on my OG Evo when I was a noob and was constantly scared to death every time I got in a boot loop and other scary things for a begginer. I agree! Learn from the bottom up even if its just rooting, unlocking, flashing and backing up.

Yes there should be an easy way for those that decide to use the toolkit.Obviosly using both ways you still have ppl that are always asking the same questionie..

Just because a person chooses an easy method doesn't mean they don't know or can't learn the actual method, and just because s person can follow step by step instructions doesn't mean they actually learned anything.

I can agree to this. My wife's tbolt crapped out on her. It's easier to have a toolkit to quickly get the new device unlocked/rooted so I could restore her backup img on the new phone.
Having never used a toolkit for any phone, I can likely root or restore any phone I have just as fast as the toolkit could for someone. You learn how to do everything manually, and you will learn that in most cases, it's easier to do it that way. Also, the toolkit wouldn't work properly anyway as it would need to be able to execute Odin, select a tar, and then flash it. While you could get an application to do this, it would require other pre-requisites to do so. My opinion is that everyone should just stop being lazy, suck it up, and deal with the methods available, and if you can't do that, then learn to love stock. There is nothing hard about rooting, unlocking, reverting to stock, or anything else that I've seen yet.

Aaaaand that's why you don't flash anything that's not made specifically for your phone, unless you know it's compatible. Sorry for your loss though. Can you get into download mode? Guess it's too late now, if you already sent it back, but I'm sure you tried to Odin back to stock..

So, you flashed a Note 2 kernel that is for an Exynos SoC to the SGS3, which is a Qualcomm SoC? I'm not sure why anyone would even think to try this in the first place, so I'm not sure why you felt the need to warn everyone. Also, this is exactly the reason VZW locks the bootloader, because people do things like this and then get warranty replacements.
As for fixing it, you should be able to, but you likely need a USB jig to force it into download mode, then a full Odin tar plus a PIT file so you can re-partition properly.
Exactly what imnuts said. People sending their phones back for warranty replacement due to mistakes THEY made themselves is exactly why verizon is locking bootloaders and why rooting voids your warranty. If people took responsibility for their own actions, the rest of us wouldn't have to pay for the consequences.
Should change the title to I bricked my phone by flashing a kernel that was not made for my phone. The kernel did not brick your phone you did by making a really bad decision.
This thread is bad and you should feel bad, too.

This may be the most ridiculous thread I've seen in a long time. But only the fact instead of paying for his mistake he thinks some how is Samsung responsibly, but how completely ridiculous he was to knowingly flash a note 2 kernel on a s3.
op why do you think there are different sub forums for phones and even carriers. You're probably one of the people who flashed an international ROM too. ...Then sent your hard bricked phone in for warranty

I can't even comprehend how you failed this hard. I feel sorry for the dead phone.

Screwing up is forgetting to check the md5 and soft briking. Flashing a kernel made for a different phone ON PURPOSE then, instead of paying for it himself, decides it's somehow Samsung fault. Oh and then posting here like it's the kernels fault is ignorance!

Uh forgetting to check MD5 can be more than just screwing up. Do that with an HTC hboot that is corrupt and no soft brick for you!

Well true and I guess doing it with a radio on my note would be pretty bad to.

Instead of criticizing, just help the person. We all make mistakes. Just find the Odin stock zip of your device. Here's a fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065470
