IS Root a possibility or ????

Ok so Im no genius like most of u are in here, but this is my 3rd HTC device and the only one which doesnt have root or custom roms so far. I just wanted to ask if you guys believe that there will be root for s-off or custom roms any sooner or is it wort hit just to buy an Atrix?? I need your opinion, please and thank you?
P.S: If any of you don't feel like answering or sharing your opinion & wanna be a smart-bottom by directing me to a link or by asking me to google it my humble request is to keep ur 0.2cents to yourself & learn to be humble and caring. Thanks.

yes. and if you had read through threads about root then you would already know that s-off IS devices have been rooted some time ago. custom roms are around but very few and not very good. the problem is getting s-off for root available for for those of us who dont have s-off by default or have access to an xtc clip to s-off our IS's.
p.s. nothings impossible on xda dev ^o^
p.p.s. if you dont need the power then considering IS gingerbread update is flowing out now id say its more than enough. unless ofcourse your given an awsome deal on the atrix

Remember that Incredible 2 is out now and is amajor phone on Verizon. This will be a popular phone and I have faith that XDA members here will find a way to put S-Off.

I sure hope someone takes it upon themselves to get the Incredible 2/S off the ground. I love the phone, solid as a rock, and fast, but I'd really like to eventually be able to over/undervolt, flash minus-bloatware roms, etc.

Upgrade to Gingerbread and run Gingerbreak. There you go.. root!!
I used SOC-1.9.x with factory 2.2.1 and it worked out. But the Superuser kept crashing while root permissions were being asked by apps. Found a workaround: cleaning the Superuser data each time I wanted to run an app.. but that's lame.

I'm in the same boat as the op... will be upgrading in the next month and with BELL... so the only 2 phones im looking are the incredible or the atrix...
i like htc and if i get the IS, this will be my 3rd htc with sleak UI and stable without too much bloatware and standard hardware ( by today's std ) , no root as of yet.
vs the atrix top of the line hardware and futureproof ( well at least for the next yr before new lines of multicores phones) but major bloatware which cannot be uninstalled, locked bootloader so cant get rid of those bloatwares.. apparently some ppl experiencing lags (something which i would never believe until i saw some videos) with the live wallpaper...
At this point, i would tend to get the IS but if both can be flashed with a custom rom ( ie. without motoblur **** ), i would jump on the atrix

are you referring to rooting the atrix?

the biggest problem we will find is that although the device is popular, it's a midrange android device, and many of the developers are not picking it up to work on it. after all when there are high end devices around the corner, why would they?

Right. There's a few problems:
1) Lots are holding out on Sensation
2) IS is a midrange device making it only semipopular. HTC has a solid lineup, but this divides forces. If you take Samsung where they had the SGS 1 and SGS2 this year, that's basically their main lineup. Expect concentrated development, but I don't know what to expect here.
3) Not sure for me whether I should pick up an IS or wait for Sensation. I'd have to wait for an 850/1900 sensation and nothing's even announced yet... so given that it's usually a minimal 3 months delay, I won't be getting this phone til close to Christmas I bet.... sigh.

Basically we're in no mans land.

If your phone is S-On, the Gingerbreak don't give you ROOT, even if you upgraded to the official 2.3 Ginderbread.
To get S-Off you need a XTC-Clips.

thanks for all your opinions fellas! for the sights and sound feels like IS didn't appeal alot to the devs so Im guessing there wont be any development on IS, so it seems wise to say good bye to IS until a new HTC device comes out & perhaps its time to say hello to the Atrix as it's got custom rom and it was rooted before it even came out. But Thanks anyways,...Imma put up my phone for sale, Im in Toronto, Canada If any one interested please PM me. Thanks.

I hate my sprint galaxy tab...Am I the only one?

I am really starting to feel left out of the cool kids club(GSM Tab Owners). Owning the sprint galaxy tab is like buying a mustang V6. I mean sure you have a mustang, but any ordinary ricer with a decent tune could blow you out of the water. Sure you could strap on a short air ram(rooting), or even sport tune(rooted apps), but your still no V8(Roms). Yeah I like cars a little, but I am really sad about my Galaxy tab from sprint. I had very high hopes, and they were all crushed......So Devs if you find it in your hearts........bring us some Sprint tab LOVE.

Well im running hc alpha 2.5 on my Sprint tab i think thats not to bad ,of course all thanks to spacemoose!

Your problem is that GSM technology is world wide, so you have people from all over the world working on roms.
CDMA is only in the US, so you have a much more limited set of potential developers.

Do you have a link to the rom? and does the market work?

It is in the "Android Development" section of the Samsung Galaxy Tab forums. And yes, the market works. While the GSM crowd is still getting Gingerbread ROMs/ports, we CDMA users have HC now. There are some glitches as the developer is still in the early stages, but overall, it runs, it's a great move in the right direction, and it's on CDMA first. (The dev was working on CDMA and GSM simultaneously, but the development on CDMA for whatever reason wasn't as difficult. I don't know if the GSM HC works as of now, but I know the dev. was close....)
And if you hate it that much, put it on ebay, sell it, and get a GSM.

Thanks for the info,
I don't hate the device as much as sprint.....and the way they locked up all the goodness behind profit grubbing.

You're welcome, although I don't understand the part about all the goodness being locked up. You just have to root your tab, just like all other Android devices. Once rooted, the device, and experience, are what you make it

I have someone that wants to trade me their sprint gtab 3g (I use sprint) for my wifi 16g ipad. I have a nook color rooted running cm7 overclocked at 1300 and an evo 4g running cm7. Do you guys think that's a fair trade? I'm not a big apple fan but my wife gave me the ipad for my birthday and use it for Netflix only. I need to pull the trigger quick before this Guy changes his mind. I just want to make sure I'm not making a dopey trade.... thanks guys!

I have a question. I rooted my tab when I first got it, how did you install alpha 2.5, I have sprint and when I try it with rom mananger ,sprint is not in the recovery just att, verizon and tmobile. I tried to flash the verizon recovery, and it was a no go. It reboots into the samaung recovery. If you have a sprint tab how did you do it?

I have nothing but mad love for my Sprint Tab. Bear in mind I'm not doing nearly as much with it as you're wanting to do though. I don't have it activated with Sprint and I'm not flashing ROMs or anything on it.

If you want to make some changes to your Sprint tab, check out the informational thread I created.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14917609#post14917609

I found a new love for my tab, I flashed it to 2.5 HC and it is neat again. It's buggy, but fun to toy with again........Yay Tab.

I've played with the HC 2.5 port, and it's just too slow for me. Stock, rooted with CWM (converted to ext4) seems to be the best thing out there for my uses thus far. Hoping we'll get a official gingerbread soon, or at least a functional CM7 port.. otherwise i love my tab! Sure there's not tons of roms to play with like the GSM tabs, but I'm happy with what i paid for it and my uses..

[Q] Just got a used Verizon Tab, rooted, now I need help.

I have just bought a Verizon Galaxy Tab at a resale store, $90 great find, I have rooted and bootstrapped the ClockWork Mod, but I need help in finding custom ROMs. They are out there, but Every post here and elsewhere are full of dead links and 404's on megaupload.
If someone can point me in the right direction, you guys can.
Thanks in advanced,
-Nate

There's a good kang version of cynogenmod 7 over at rootzwiki, or there's a couple cleaned up stock roms for vzw/sprint floating around the dev section. Sadly there aren't many other options.

What about Honeycomb, Like the ROM from spacemoose here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020167
The ROM is lost, but if anyone knows where it can be found.
Thanks,

personally the HC ports never worked well enough for me to leave on my Tab for more than a couple hours of playing around. You might be able to find someone that still has the files, but good luck.

Back to Samsung After a long Break.

Hello People,
Ive just recieved my Galaxy Note, I have come from a HTC One X. I have always had HTC phones but was let down in my experiance with the One X.
Ive been reading the Dev thread and a few TUTS and from what I understand, I need to, Downgrade my firmware to a rootable version, CWM and then im good to go! Also I need the ICS repack if Im going to dable with the ICS roms out there.
I havent used Odin since my Galaxy Tab left, I may be a little rusty, I had read about the creation of Mobile Odin but havent used it at all.
Just wondering if any of you kind people have any major DO's or DO NOTs, also a gent over on the One X forum that had a Note mentioned to me that he had a "Unbrick device" of some sort that he picked up for a couple of quid? Anyone know anything more?
TIA.

The device is called a jig and you can get one for a buck at dealextreme

Best DO #1 - make a backup first!
BEST DO #2 - read the forums!
BEST DO # 3 - always wait at least a day once a ROM is released on the forums before updating - and always read the responses from the last 24 hours. Amazing how many people report wonderful battery life ..... after using it for about 3 hours! May seem harsh, but there seem to be a lot of easily pleased people out there.
Don't get me wrong - I do appreciate all of the dev and chef work. But do read initial posts ... PLUS >>>I'm waiting for a N7700 based ICS, it seems that all current ones are based on SGII.
Good luck... and Respect Your Note

Sound advice my man.
After playing with it stock, im happy at the moment. Obviously its a completely different experiance from HTC and so its probably the novelty factor, but im liking the built in magazines/newspapers and the UI is livable with.
Im sure it wont be long until I root away. Especially since ive been informed of this jig (thanks man) no flash count and saviour from bricks! Happy days.
Thanks for taking the time to reply folks.

Have fun..tis a great device!

Just to be warned not ever brick is recoverable so friendly advice read read read when doing anything and don't be in a hurry to install the latest and greatest roms ect like I did

Canadian specific thread

Hello all. First off, congratulations on being the proud owners of this "DOPE'TASTIC" device.
I was hoping that this request would be heard by the sites MOD's and possibly even implemented.
But I was hoping that maybe someone would be so kind as to start a Canadian Carrier thread? Sprint, AT&T, T-mo all have their own and from what I have heard they all (or most) have locked boot loaders (may be horribly wrong on that, please don't crucify me). But perhaps in the goodness of the sites MOD's hearts they would consider my request. Just got this device today, AM SUPER EXCITED TO GET TWEEKING. But admittedly the many variants of the device have... complicated the research process.
Anyone agree with me???
Also, the software update which has been prompted from the point I turned this thing on. Should that be avoided allowing to begin? I bought this last night, and unfortunately am working today so I do not have the time to research that I usually would right out of the gate. Any input would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

There is already a "Note 4 - Canadian Thread" that has a lot of information.

Ohhh, well then. Mod's please delete this thread. My apologies. :-/

Well since our thread has disappeared without explanation (being a bastard child in every galaxy) , just to answer few of yours.
Don't worry about first boot update. Allow it. It will not hamper rooting or modding. You will trip Knox.
Basically tmobile model is closest to ours, so let that be your guide, although there are some Canadian specifics that should be followed. Roms in tmobile section have Canadian instructions if they're made with us in mind in adition to tmobile.
The rest is up to you to read.
Euro firmwares are compatible as well, but more reading and specific rules to be followed are a must.

Nice! Thats exactly what I needed to know. Most devices ive used in the last 2 years were AT&T varients. Therefore i was surprised when I realized Note4 was not. Note 1+2 through Rogers were, as was the S4. So was surprised to see this is not.
Thanks for the starting point, especially with the firmware update. With Note 2 (if i remember correctly) if you accepted the initial FW update you were in trouble.

Even for s4, starting from kernel, our model was more similar to tmobile. It just happened that att had Devs that supported us more, and was root able at the beginning.
Now, due to bootloader, they don't even deserve a thread, yet they got a section. A ghost town.

lol, Yeah I noticed that. Its... The way it is I guess...
Was BLOWN AWAY buy how many variants are out there on Note 4. Was a little over whelming on the first day reading through all the forums. I really do feel that there are enough people with Canadian devises to warrant a device specific thread however. But at the very least the T-mo thread seems to cater to Canadians pretty well. iB4sTiD is in there, a name i know WELL from the AT&T S4 forums, Actually I am SUPER excited to see him working for Note4. REally solid guy, and he always builds both American and Canadian roms.

To be honest I'm little disillusioned with the custom tw rom scene. So for a while I'm keeping it stock, with my own slim down, and xposed.
See no reason to load custom rom at this time as they are basically doing what I can do for myself without someone else deciding.
Good old times when patches and hacks and customization is done on framework itself (xposed does impact performance, compared to stock, no matter what. I live with it and am happy that it's there, but it's a fact) with jkay, etc. Now custom roms are slim with xposed, which I basically explained above.
Even custom kernels are making me lose more in features than I gain in performance.

I believe we require an explanation of why our thread was deleted. There was lots of information pertaining to "our" note 4.

would just like to know at least why? our thread have been deleted too....

Guess you can message mods for answer.

I think after doing a crapload of reading that i understand what you are saying. Honestly i used to HATE touchwiz but it seems so smooth and fast on this phone that it almost feels right?
I never in my life thought I would say that I would like A TW ROM... But, it appears to work with this phone and with exposed being what it is...
Strange feeling, not immediately flashing a custom build...

Why the hell did the Canadian thread get deleted.....FFS!

@celkin please note you either have to use option in wanam module, or do a build prop edit to get rid of extreme lag once you install xposed first time.
Important note. Never turn on secure boot in security if you're loading custom recovery in the future.
Explanation to the rest. @celkin asked which modules I'm using, but couldn't post Screenshots in pm.
