Didn't want to hijack anymore threads with my stupidity and lack of understanding. This way I can keep all my idiocy in this one thread.. So, I received my replacement htcone from ATT today. The hboot is 1.44
Should I root now as to get s-off, just in case I ever need to go back to stock or become a google edition Orr whatever other reason there may be.. And if so, which is the best method to use.
Or, should I update to 4.3 first and then root. Or does it make any difference at all? Sorry for sounding stupid on all this, but, well I am stupid when it comes to all this.. Basically, what are the pros and cons
I deft want root to de-bloat and I love arhd roms. I just don't know the best steps to take at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
*s¡gned
Never mind, I researched and figured it out. Now rooted with s-off. Cheers.
Mods, please delete, thank you..

I'm brand new and hoping to get some advice if possible. I was able to root the phone with no problem thanks to the One Click Root Program so thank you to the Unlockr and to the thread on here.
Now, I'm not sure what to do about a custom ROM. I honestly just want to get rid of the AT&T bloatware. Other than that I have no requirements. I don't really care other than that as long as I can get rid of things that I don't want.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Download titanium backup which is free. It allows you to uninstall apps. Even system apps. Read and be careful. For the most part avoid all Google apps
Captivate
Cog 2.4
Thank you! I appreciate the help so far.
I apologize for posting in the wrong section. I thought I was in the right place but that was my mistake.

If this post is for real than you should start by reading through each of the guides on this forum and the incredible s dev forum after that use the search function to find answers to any questions you might have. Than after all else fails return here to post a legitimate question. After you find out what an h-boot is and you realize its 1.16.0000 stop and decide weather or not you really want to continue down this path because at the end of it the loss of your warranty.
Happy reading.

The problem is, that more than likely hundreds of people have had this same issue, and most have found the solution without having to post a new thread. He's saying, you need to do some real legwork instead of just asking.

Just so you know - my phone is hboot 1.16.0000 (and no I will not repeat myself how to do it) and I have cyanogenmod7.
It's good, but now my warranty is voided. I cannot revert to stock because the HBOOT 1.16.0000 was an OTA update, therefore it cannot be downloaded at this stage, so I have to stick with custom roms.
My charger port is now stuffed after a month of having it (STUPID design having it on the side,) and after speaking to htc because my phone is software modded it is automatically void. even though it has nothing to do with the issue. So now my only other choice is a 3rd party company to fix it or pay the premium for HTC to fix it, because it's not under warranty.
Your choice.
Expect the unexpected
If you can get your charging port to work you can run an RUU flash a HBOOT downgraded and then rerun the ruu on your phone. You will become S-On again.

Get the phone and slowly you will get familiar to it.
I hope ur talking about the rooted apps here,that would be no problem once u get easy with the handset.
Piracy is not a good thing..developers put in a lot of time and effort in their work,respect it and pay for it.
Rooting n modding is not for Cr****. Rooting is to just get extra privilege on note, for making it more customise your device.
and note, such things(Cra**/Piracy) are banned over XDA
Ok, thanks guys.. thats what i mean, the rooted apps.. But do you guys suggest to me that I should have my phone rooted, once i got my phone? Or is it just ok to leave it as is? Thanks!

The phone's great as is. If you're a newb, like I was when I bought my Note (and probably still am), I'd recommend sticking with stock for a bit until you familiarize yourself with everything your phone can do.
I bought a Note when it released in the beginning of December and I still haven't rooted my phone. Although I'm a little conservative that way.
One thread you might really want to read is the Tips and Tricks thread.
Ok, thanks for the reply again! I guess I'll just have to get one first, explore it, read the forums. Then see what happens then. How about the ROMS?

Moved To Q&A
This is a question, and as such belongs in the Q&A Section
So I want to give TN's GE rom a try but I have read numerous places about how android creates a "0" folder after a 4.2.2 upgrade and something needs to be done to the sdcard to revert back to 4.1.2 roms. What exactly needs to be done to revert? Am I able to move the sdcard items before I boot into recovery to revert from 4.2? What is the directory I should move the items from/to? I've done some reading but it has me confused as to what exactly to do. If someone would be willing to dummy this up a bit for me it would be greatly appreciated. If really like to give this rom a try but I'm afraid I won't be able to figure out how to go back if I don't like what I flash. Thanks in advance!

Yea, thanks. Didn't know it was a problem to answer a simple question. I've always helped where I could and try to keep the questions to a minimum. Thanks for the link... Took the plunge tho and did some reading. Think I figured it out. Mods please lock or delete. Thanks.

Hello guys. I'm new to the community, but I did my homework and I can honestly say I've spent a good +40 hours on this site in the past month, and it paid off since I'm now the proud owner of a rooted Xperia Z1 running 4.4.2 KitKat with XZdualrecovery which is something I tought I would never do out of fear of bricking my device and the lack of information and support for my rather "slightly rare" C6906 model with annoyances like a non-unlockable bootloader , where the C6903 and C6902 models get all the attention. Anyway guys, I rooted my phone, awesome...but for me, the next step is installing a custom rom, because I feel that the stock xperia Z1 firmware is not enough for my customizing needs, plus I also envy the stock like experience it provides, even more than my Z1. I read up on a few guides for installing cyanogenmod on the Z1, but they all seem to be only supported for the C6903 and C6902 models. Plus, it doesn't help to motivate myself knowing that my C6906 model still has a locked bootloader (apparently) and I've read unlocking the bootloader is a requirement for installing custom ROMs. So, my questions are:
Is XZDualRecovery enough to install custom ROMs? Specially the version with the locked bootloader? Could I run into any issues?
If the answer to the previous question is yes, Are there any good guides concerning the C6906 model on how to install custom roms? (Or more importantly, cyanogenmod? [preferably versions that have been tested on the C6906])
You cannot install anything like Cyanogenmod as it needs an unlocked bootloader
You can install any rom from the development section, just follow the locked bootloader instructions
Now that you have recovery, make a backup and follow the instructions in the thread.
Thanks!

Thank you! You saved me a lot of time so I can stop searching for a way to install CM. I will look into the development section them. Any recommendations on what's a good/stable/popular ROM I can install then?

No, and xda mods don't like that question being asked. Best ROM and asking for best ROM threads get closed quickly. Here is why..
If you ask someone which pizza they should buy then people give their own favourites as a recommendation. I like hot, spicy and meaty ones, but if recommend that to you may say "That's disgusting!" you may be one of those people who like anchovies and sweetcorn on their pizza. That may be perfect for you, but I will hate it
In short, you have to try them yourself and see which one suits you best. One bit of advice though, even if someone recommends a ROM to you, its no guarantee you will like it.
Part of the appeal of android is that we can customise so much, so try, test for a week (It takes that long to get an idea of performance and battery) then move on and try another.
Once you have done that, flash your favourite.
