Hi, Just about to flash XXJPY and just need to know, do I have to UN-root before flashing..?
Thanks
no you dont have to unroot
regards
Great that's good news...
And what about Battery Icon Mod, does that have to be un-installed..??
Thanks
No, the framework will be replaced with the ROM's framework. Just make sure when you try to add that mod again to make sure it works with the ROM you are flashing.

Basically the new rom replaces everything including root..??
So, just to get this clear,there is no need to un-install anything, un-root or factory reset before flashing, correct..?
Thanks
do u have a lag fix installed?
3btn combo active?

You want to remove any lag fix first before flashing something and make sure you have 3-button combo working. Those 2 are important. Once you do that, flash a ROM and yes; since you are flashing a new ROM, it will replace your kernel, delete root (since its a new base ROM and kernel, it will include root if you flash one of the xda dev ROMs), replace your recovery, and delete some android files (but nothing serious on your SD card, just make sure you back up everything just incase with nanoid). If there are any problems, just go into recovery, factory reset and then flash the ROM again (no reset in between).
I hope that answers any questions you may have

That's great, answers everything I need to know, Thank you.!
Hey there I was searching/googleing the instructions for unrooting the T-Mobile Galaxy Note (t879) but could only find the international versions.
Does anyone know the process or can point me to a video/tutorial to go back to a fully unrooted Note?
Also, how do I go about going back to the tmo recovery, removing the CWM recovery? Where can I find that? Do I do that before I unroot it or after?
Once I flash the unrooted stock rom (if there is any for Tmo) do i need to reset the flash counter and how would I do that if it is unrooted?
Sorry for all the questions, I hope someone can help me...
Thanks in advance!
Background: my mic started to produce garbled noise, it works fine on handsfree mode but not on the regular mode. if I can fix it I don't need to go back to stock or unroot it.
I tried a different ROM but that didn't work (CM10), i cleared the tmo talkvoice app cache and data but still the same result.
So i assume that the mic is broken and that I will have to send it in/RMA it...

Thank you joemm, that did it.
If the mic problem ever happens to anyone else then flashing to another ROM, such as ICS/JB wont fix it. You need to return to stock, preferably to a nandroid back up (from when it worked)
Then I rooted the stock phone again, put CWM recovery on it and went straight from there to JB (AoCP) and have not had any problems with the mic so far. its been running great so far!
I have rooted my HTC one. I did install a custom rom using twrp Download Android 4.4 KitKat Sense 5.5 Stock ROM (odexed) for HTC One.
It said it succeeded but never booted into system. Maybe I didn't wait long enough. At that point I used twrp to restore my back up. The backup succeeded but my data service does not come on and the phone is rebooting over and over.
Should I factory reset? Can I? Should I install another rom? Need some help.

You probably flashed a GSM ROM. Only use ROMs which are made for sprint. The only 4.4 sense ROM for Sprint right now is ElipticOne.

Thanks I will look at the info. The thing is is I have a backup. Why is twrp not restoring a working backup? It created the backup from a working system. Not sure why it succeeds in restoring but gets stuck in a reboot cycle without a data connection. The wifi works as long as the phone is not rebooting. It works for about a minute before it reboots.
Can I install stock recovery and then try to take a ota to update. Will I loose root and will I loose my rom? Will I be able to reinstall a rom or will I need to reroot?
you can try, you shouldn't loose root or anything but once you have unlocked and flashed stuff I doubt stock recovery will like your system enough to take the update. try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53518227
HOW Change ...... ???

From my understanding, as long as /system is stock, you can install the stock recovery and then take the OTA. Afterwards, you'll need to re-root your phone. Make a backup of your current setup before you get started. Once you've taken the update and get rooted again, you can always restore your backup.

Magnum enforcer is correct.

I will give it a try this weekend and let you know how it goes.
Edit does not work but thanks for helping me.
Must be the fact that I am s on. We need that s off before we can do anything as far as updating
This one is tricky. I flashed the stock rooted rom from mikmik, I then unrooted and flashed the stock recovery via fast boot. When applying the Ota, it fails because the build.prop is not stock. Comes back with an error like /system/build.prop unexpected.

I just tried it to and did the same exact thing except I had boot loops as we'll.
when I flashed back to the stock recovery to take the recent OTA, I had a reboot bootloop like every 2-3 minutes, I was ready to throw the phone against a wall, then it hit that I read recently someone else had the same issue, and mentioned a factory reset fixing the issue, yup after a factory reset, the reboot bootloop was gone, I just now rerooted and flashed a backup

yes, I was able to take the latest OTA, and no, it did not help with my signal at all, my device didn't drop calls or anything, but it has a hard time latching onto lte at times before and after the OTA.......

Do we know how to get passed the build.prop error?

this might be a really stupid question (and my first post no less), but does performing a factory reset take me back to stock, unrooted form?
currently i am rooted with S-on, TWRP and Chainfire SU.
i followed a youtube video to root and im basically clueless with regards to doing anything more.
thanks in advance.

no, a factory reset will not unroot you, you need to restore a stock backup, then flash stock recovery in fastboot to unroot while s-on

Thank you. I saved a stock backup (i think) while rooting so ill see what i can do tonight. fastboot is the white background screen that uses volume buttons to select, right?

Hey everyone.
I've spent the better of the last three hour scouring the inter webs, Google, and these forums trying to find the answers to my questions - but to no avail (I've found partial answers, but I am afraid a partial answer could lead to a total brick).
Here we go:
I bought one of the first Sprint HTC One M8's through Amazon. Here are the details:
Model: 831C
Android Version 4.4.2
Software Version 1.12.651.17
Unlocked but S-On (Using TWRP)
Naturally, right out of the box I rooted it. However, I did not save the original ROM.
* I want to restore the phone to its original state so I can accept the OTA update and hopefully address the god-awful cell signal.
I've found a lot of stock recoveries online, but none that match 1.12.651.17.
Do I need to find that specific recovery to flash to my phone? Will another one work (e.g. 1.54.654.13)?
I've never worried about saving my stock recovery in the past (been rooting since the HTC Evo days) but it looks like not doing so finally caught up with me.
Thanks in advance.
PS I did find something 1.12.651.17 related here, but how to flash this to my phone (or whether or not it will brick) is beyond me. I've downloaded all 6 files and am waiting to figure out how the heck to get them to my phone.

Hello, I'm pretty much new to the android scene therefore excuse me for my stupidness on this field
I unlocked my nexus 6, then I rooted it and and then I flashed a custom rom (Euphoria 1.0) with WugFresh's Tool.
Yesterday I tried installing adaway and gave it full root permissions, it asked me to reboot and I did so.
After rebooting I realized that I can't unlock my phone nor do anything else except using the pull down notification bar and having a back button, no middle button nor right button.. The screen just remains black. I tried rebooting in recovery mode but nothing changes.
What do I've to do now?
The device doesn't show up as MTP.
When I enter TWRP now it asks me for a password??
I've a Nandroid backup saved on my HDD and I still have the custom rom ZIP saved as well.

Reset your entire phone by flashing the factory image. This can be done with the wugs toolkit as well.

It depends. If your phone doesn't work at the moment because something is wrong in the rom, the chance of the same thing happening could happen again. You can try restoring your nandroid and see if that fixes your problem. If not going back to stock is the best way to fix your problem.
