I finally upgraded to one of the ginormous phones after fighting it for so long. I just couldn't take the "out of memory" errors anymore on my Aria. So now that I have the HTC One X, I'd like to sell my mint-condition Aria. It's got CWM and CyanogenMod 7.0.3, but like I said, with hardly any apps on it, it's constantly out of memory.
So my question is what should I do with this Aria before I list it on Craigslist?
Official HTC Android 2.2
Fresh CM7
Other?
Plain ol' stock Aria's are selling for $100-$125 here in LA. Should I add a premium price for having it rooted and custom ROM installed?
In my experience, having a rooted phone with a custom ROM had actually lessened interest in phones I've sold. I would go full stock, unrooted, stock recovery also. You never know when someone will want to do a factory reset, and if I understand correctly, this causes problems for rooted phones. The people that know how and are interested in rooting will do it anyway, the rest will be perfectly happy with it in stock form.
Good point. Thanks.

I'd go with rooted 2.3.5 liberty S rom. I'd delete some stock apps and overclocked the core. Then i'd sell it. But that's just me
Stock ROM I would pay less if the Phone's ROM is customed.
I'd just leave it on a stock looking ROM.

Dude... Jealous of your rooted One X!
stock with automatic transmission
My guess is you would have better luck for resale with stock ROM.
I base this on the experience of selling a nearly new car. I have always been a fan of manual transmissions and to this day that's all we have in the garage. About 20 years ago I was assigned overseas and had to sell a nearly new Mazda 626 with a stick. I got few calls, all of whom had overlooked "manual transmission" in the ad and backed out immediately when they realized it. I ended up selling it back to the dealer at a big loss.
Only five percent or so of automobiles on the road today have manuals. I imagine custom ROM users are a similarly small minority.
Even though the experience is better, even though my own technophobe wife loves her Aria running CM7 nightly, a random buyer--who probably will drive up with an automatic--would be more likely to buy with the stock ROM.
PS: By mentioning a car sale 20 years ago, I've probably identified myself as part of an even smaller minority: old people who run with a custom nightly
Here's what you should do. Root it, install custom recovery, boot loader should be unlocked after using unrevoked. Then flash Liberated FR008, so it will look stock, but they can read up on root and take it from there if they care enough

This is well and good until they decide to factory reset within the ROM for whatever reason. I'm not sure if that is disabled in Liberated FR008 or not, but better safe than sorry IMO.

I can tell you that once I tried to wipe data from the ROM itself (not CWM Recover) and it hosed the phone. I couldn't boot to anything.
This was when I first got my Aria and didn't know much about rooting Android devices.
I would restore Stock and sell it. If the buyer asks about any techie-stuff like "is it rooted?" you could root it, load CWM Recovery, and ask if he'd like a custom ROM on it. You could even ask for a little extra $$ for the effort... Just a thought.

So with the Motorola Triumph being announced today, I am planning to return my LG Optimus V so I can get the Triumph while I'm still in the return period at Best Buy.
I've rooted the V, installed ClockWorkMod, and installed AOSP CM7 ROM. How do I go about restoring it to the factory ROM and removing ClockWorkMod? Alternately, do you think I could just reset to the standard AOSP CM7 mod and return it hoping they don't notice? - Scratch that. Probably should restore to original ROM since in AOSP some functionality doesn't work (Camera, bluetooth, etc) so Best Buy doesn't have to throw the phone out and lose $200.
Edit:
I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum. Please move it if it is.

definitely gonna look into getting the triumph when its released. A 5.1mp camera with flash and a way faster processor! But the question is: does it have a locked bootloader?
As for your question, there is nothing wrong with your phone and you voided your warrenty. returning it now is against best buys rules and could also be considered illegal. That being said did you make a backup of your factory install before you installed cm7?
Do what I did, restore your vanilla unrooted stock nandroid and then flash the stock recovery. You could do it through recovery, there is a nice post in this forum for the flashing the stock recovery from within the custom recovery to make it easy. Done.

There is no way this phone will cost 300-400 bucks. I bet it will be $250 tops.
I wouldnt mind picking one of these up for $150 used but I would be willing to pay up to 250 if the phone is fast and has good battery life. I use my android phone for everything: music, email, games, etc. So its not that bad a deal considering I am not going to drop money on an iPod or a DS/PSP.
Try every post that says Stock in the title.
I'm not too excited about this new phone. I laugh everytime I see someone with a big phone holding it up to their ear, looks like they are holding a small book against their head. I would rather have a phone that fits easily in my pocket, and a tablet for things I want a larger screen for.
Your right its a little big but has a 1ghz processor. Sure we will wait and see how what I will cost 250.00 to 300.00. I would ckeck it out first.

Considering the HTC unlock method has been released since roughly August and we find ourselves now in January with essentially 5 months have passed without an unofficial root method .. I would probably lean towards not counting on an unofficial root method.
Haven't seen any new information from Unrevoked or AlphaRevX regarding work on the EVO 3D as I'm sure there are some devices in existence which don't have any unlock method that might garner more attention ...
Most of that is just opinion and speculation based on personal experience. Might not be worth anything but figured I'd post an answer in the hope it might help! Good luck!
I know the only way now is the HTC method im holding out alil longer till someone comes out with a better method. I don't really want HTC knowing im rooted with the way they have it set up. Nothing is wrong going there route with it other then you warranty with them being void to a certain point.
Sprint doesn't seem to mind.
In due time there will be a root in a better way .

Even with having the 1.5 hboot, you are still able to flash roms and kernels without issues, just have to do it in a different way.
If your a person that enjoys the challenge (should be the quality of anyone who roots) you'll see past the issues and roll with the punches unrolled an easy way comes along.
Remember people, if your hear, you don't want it the easy way. You don't want to have everything done for you, find joy in getting your hands dirty and doing something challenging.
BTW, yes I have an EVO 3D WITH 1.5 HBOOT and everything is business as usual in the flashing department

took me 10 min after reading the instructions, and more because I don't use Windows (Linux only) so I had to load up my VM for some things. But the unlocking of the Bootstrap and the rooting process is quick.
Yes having S-Off is a huge difference, but just because I don't have it doesn't mean that my life with the phone ends there. I can still flash kernels, ROMs and anything 1.4 hboot could do, I just have to load recovery via fastboot and I'm all set.
Yes, maybe I can't use ROM manager to make my life easy, and maybe to flash I will always be (for now) tied to having to use a computer for better results, but in reality, what?? I have access to a computer most of the time, and if I don't, I wait because or I may be in the field doing training or something else and I don't want to invest my time in flashing at all.
Another way is that if you don't want to use the computer just remove the boot.img from the zip (I believe its that one) file of the ROM your wanting to flash and I believe this should let you flash right from Recovery and then you can access fastboot to flash the Kernel side.

How about nadroid backup and restore functionality on hb 1.5 i mean i assume we would run into issues with this if we want to restore to a previous version of a rom with a non stock kernel.

I believe you would have to backup everything except the boot area. You would have to flash the kernel first before restoring the backup.

I downloaded FreeGee and would like to uninstall it once the Jelly Bean update comes out due to lack of dev support, but I have discovered that there is no easy way to uninstall it unless I flash a stock rom back onto my phone (AT&T LG Optimus G). I cannot find any stock roms for the AT&T version, so I was wondering:
1) Are there any stock roms available for the AT&T LG Optimus G?
2) Does it matter if I use a stock rom from rogers or will that also mess up the updates?
3) If there are no stock roms available, does anybody know how to uninstall FreeGee?
Thanks.
You didn't see the stock ROM in the development section? Also that's why its good to make a backup of the stock rom before flashing any ROM.

I guess it all depends on how many developers you consider constitutes a "lack of" and how many = "good" support. Right now we know of three that have actually put something out, there are others working on stuff behind the scenes but how many remains to be seen. I have faith the support will come; however, if you were to survey people today, I'm reasonably certain most would call this a lack of support. Good things come to those who wait.

Indeed, common sense really. 1 rom in the dev section = lack of dev support. if a person can't see that, then they lack common sense.
ECF17. Ill answer your question. I see many comments above but no real answer.
There is not a stock Rom you can flash. the only Rom available is heavily modified.
What I did is went back to stock. Root, then unlock the bootloader, and deleted the apps I don't use. So I still have a ODEX Rom. Installed WiFi tether, Rom toolbox lets you easily remove the apps that you dont want (be careful) and also allows you to block ads.
Battery life is amazing. I unplugged at 6:30am and its 3:35 now and I'm at 67% and I've send over 20 emails today, dozens of text and over 1 hour screen on time.
I found that stock ODEX and debloated is the way to go. My sync is on. Facebook,gmail, box,dropbox.
The md5 mismatch was an issue I had also. The recovery that comes with the freegee. Unlock is flaky like that

HTC always finds a way for me to buy their phone when I want to upgrade. First the Fuse instead of 1st gen iPhone, then the HTC MyTouch which was rooted till Jelly Bean, Now the One instead of the S4.
HTC always gets me with build quality. After all the hype and hoopla i still have an HTC.
Can someone tell me why I should root my phone. Any new features?
Ive watched dozens of vids and nothing has really SOLD me on doing it.
When I rooted my MyTouch it was like Night and Day. I just dont see that much of an improvement when my phone is rooted.
Thoughts?
The only two phones I didn't want to root were the Nexus 4 and now the HTC One. There is nothing I need more than what came out of the box.
I unlocked ,my boot loader and installed a custom recovery to play with ROMs ,etc.
This way I'm now on 4.2.2 and my HTC logo functions as menu, and I have several sleep and wake options where as before I only had the power button on top for that. There are several other reasons Its beneficial but in the end its all personal preference.

No problem.
Just make sure after you unlock the boot loader and install a custom recovery, do a backup in recovery prior to flashing the zip to root. Also copy it to your PC for safe keeping. This way if something happens or you want to return to stock for OTA, you can simply restore the backup, reflash stock recovery and even relock the bootloader if you wanted. Granted by default it will now say relocked in the bootloader but that's no big deal.

You can restore the backup you made of the OS that's not rooted, refresh the stock Recovery and lock the bootloader. It will then be back to stock. Only thing that will show is in the bootloader it will show RELOCKED as opposed to LOCKED

Considering you unlock the bootloader through htc development, I figured you knew they would be aware anyways. You can unlock with s-off but I'd suggest htc dev. They simply state if you cause damage as a result of unlocking the bootloader, they won't cover it. I believe there is also a way to make it say locked instead of relocked. I know of several people whom have had successful warranty claims with unlocked bootloaders.
What are your concerns? Just curious.

Yes Htc clearly states it on the website. If you are to brick your phone say as a result of unlocking the bootloader they obviously won't cover it. However say it's a defective sensor for example they will cover it. At least that's been my the experience of many people I know.
I thought you meant you couldn't revert to an unrooted stock OS.
Heck you can now even convert some carrier branded htc ones to the Google play edition and receive OTA updates.

I just rooted and s-off'd my one max international. Took a few minutes following a guide on here, I had to us 'firewater' not 'rumrunner' to get s-off. Haven't tried any Roms as I think the stock software is fine, if your worried about sense then install a custom launcher and you almost won't notice the difference between sense and AOSP, even the Google experience launcher is in the play store and works well. The reason I rooted was for write access to the SD card.
Its a great phone with beautiful screen and good battery life.
