Hi, I am thinking of getting the LG 2x because it comes with the bootloader already unlocked, so does it INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTEE to flash the Rom?
Thanks.
I'd imagine so yes, but you can revert back to stock very easily.
Oh BTW, if anyone can answer tonight, I would be grateful, cos experia offer ends midnight! ;-)
Lol! - you must have posted that while i was typing! ;-)
Also, do you know if there is a Rom with HTC sense 3 for the x2??
There is no rom with sense 3 ui !!
Try for MIUI ROM it has a sense theme which gives little bit similar ui as that of htc sensation !!!!

It depends on your country LG policy whether it will invalidate your warranty or not. At best ask your local LG branch.

Hey guys newb here, Ive recently bought the HTC Inc S on the australian optus network, the thing is it came with so much crap that I dont even need,
I wanted to flash CM7.1 onto my phone but Im unable to get S-OFF due to my HBOOT being 1.16 and theres no support for it on the rev website, so is there any way for me to either get rid of all this bloatware that came with my phone or am i able to re-flash android 2.3.3 or a newer version of android available for the htc inc s that comes without all that bloatware.
This is my first HTC phone and kinda already regretting getting it, its a great phone just wish i got one with a earlier hboot version
I'm in the exact same situation, but still hesitating to go through the HTC Dev unlocking process, that apparently worked for a few guys:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301475&page=4
Also, the Optus Stock Rom works very well, no bugs or issues...The whole bloatware is very annoying, but I learned to live with it.
The thing is, you never know what type of issues you get by flashing a custom Rom... So that's another down side.
I'm not wanting to flash a custom Rom just want to flash Android 2.3.5 or 2.3.7 with out all the bloatware I thought it would be possible considering its not a custom rom is this possible? Also what's the difference between froyo, gingerbread and honeycombe I always see that popping up in the forums

Well, there are no "Clean" Roms out there...Except some Custom Roms like CM7, all stock Roms have some degree of bloatware.
Eclair is Android 2.1
Froyo is Android 2.2
Gingerbread is Android 2.3
Honeycomb is Android 3.0 (this version is designed for Tablets only)
Ice Cream Sandwich will be Android 4.0 (to be released on mid November this year and will be the first unified Android platform - both for phones and tablets)
Oh ok cheers thankyou, is there a link for a gingerbread download 2.3.7? Just want a fresh flash with less bloatware

As long as you can get root access even if temporary you can uninstall bloatware via titanium backup.

yes i assume you have s-on ...so try superoneclick for a temp root (which will get unrooted once u restart the device) and remove the bloatwares from titanium backup.

HI, if you really want to flash CM7 to your phone and you have HBOOT 1.16 out there, I suggest you to downgrade your HBOOT to 1.13 by using goldcard, which I did to my phone incredible S and work out successfully. then you can do the S-OFF by AlphaRev, after that get your phone rooted which I think you can find in other thread as well if u successfully downgrade HBOOT to 1.13..
I got the source from a chinese forum (downgrade to HBOOT 1.13) so I think there is a guide for that in english as well but i didn't search for it..
hope this help..
htc sense 3.0 is out for incredible s all over the world. htc has even put up the user guide for sense 3.o for incredible s on their website ....want to know if anyone in india got the official upgrade?? i tried many times but it says my phone is up to date
I'm in the US & my phone is the India region model & no update here either. I am wondering what the holdup is. Googling back it seems there was a delay for the previous OTA update for India too.
Anyone in India got official update?
Not released in india yet. Will be available to download before feb i guess. I will suggest you to unlock bootloader in your device and enjoy some custom ROMS till that.
No updates as of yet received in India. Have been checking atleast twice a day. Am on the stock ROM, S-On etc.
Still waiting. Also if anyone can clarify, does this update bring the much needed native videocalling (via 3G) ?
nops no native videocalling in update...

Your warranty becomes null and void the moment you unlock the bootloader using Alpharevx or Revolutionary methods. It even becomes void if you use htcdev.com method to install recovery (with a still locked boot). Obviously, if you use a xtc clip to permanently unlock the bootloader also, you warranty becomes void. So bottom line: Locked phone with stock ROM = still in Warranty. Any unlock to change ROM = No Warranty, unless you want to resell or try to get a refund / exchange. IMHO, unlock & root is like a schoolgirl losing her virginity nowadays, not a big issue and they try to achieve it the fastest, best and most pleasurable way!!!
Most of us Indians are using unlock by Alpharevx or Revolutionary and thereafter running a sense 3.0 3.5 ROM. I would personally recommend ARHD, its fast, stable and gives good reception & battery life.

Thanks for the Response!
Does all hardware ( Bluetooth, WIFI, camera etc) are working fine in ARHD? Is it possible to get official OTA update after switching to ARHD? I would like to use sense 3.0 with Android 2.3.5, please suggest me which rom is best (No Major Issues and almost all are working fine)
Thanks

Hi,
I'm getting a HTC One this week and I would like to know whether I need to get the Developer edition to use custom roms or whether the xda community has already found a way to unlock a locked bootloader on the standard HTC One?
I'm not worried about the phone being unlocked for carriers (I'm sticking with o2).
also, is there any other benefit of the Dev Edition or is it purely so it isn't locked to a carrier and unlocked bootloader?
Hi
Greetings,
If you.want to flash a custom Rom I prefer you get the developer edition
Yes we can unlock, root and install custom Rom on the normal HTC one.
Getting the developers editions will save your time in unlocking bootloader
Choices is yours:thumbup:

Hey, I just bought the HTC One Dev, it is on its way. I've been using iOS for a long time and this phone looks better to me than the iPhone 5.
Anyway, it will be my first Android device so I am a complete noob. Will flashing roms to Dev Edition also void the warranty? Just curious, I know that if done right, nothing will go wrong, just want to know if there is any other benefit other than 64GB and not having to root it. Another question, how can I root original Sense 5 to the phone if I later decide to sell it or just want the stock back?
Thanks in advanced.
Edit: Wrong thread
I got my htc one (non dev edition) and was able to unlock bootloader, root and install custom roms without issue.
no idea about warranty
Hi Guys I'll be getting my RAZR i soon so I wanna clear some things out if you don't mind helping a newbie
NOTE: I am experienced with root, ROM, CWM and other stuff because I am currently owning a SAMSUNG phone.
1. I'll get my phone SIM Unlocked already, if I flash other ROMs (Official and Custom), would it still accept my SIM?
2. It will come with US Firmware, if I change it to Europe or any other country will it accept my SIM?
3. Is it worth rooting? I mean going into alot of trouble for just this.
NOTES: I am living in Philippines, means no service center for Motorola, if I get bricked, then it's gonna be hard.
4. Updating the firmware on an unlocked bootloader will brick my device, does the Custom ROMs have a feature that removes the OTA Update?
5. Are there any CM 10/10.1 ROMS? Or any famous Custom ROM? If not, can you provide me the "best ROM" for Razr i? I am browsing some ROMs but I'd like to see more.
Thank you all.
