Hope this hasn't been asked before (couldn't find my answer in search) but I use Ting currently and I was wondering if I can unroot back to stock without any problems? I believe I'm supposed to use Sprint's ruu, but I am not sure and do not want to mess it up. Thank you.
Well it's been awhile since I asked the question, but unfortunately I still need to know. Help would be awesome thanks

Sorry to see nobody answered you, don't forget you are allowed to bump your thread once every 24h if nobody reply
you'll need to post the output of fastboot getvar all except your IMEI # so we can determine if there is a ruu available for your phone. Hopefully your phone use the same software version as Sprint models.
Yeah figured I could bump it, but I've been busy and forgot =D Anyway thanks for the reply and hopefully I'll have that today. Thanks again.

Hi this is my first post. Im really sorry if Im posting this again and if I am just tell me to delete it and point me to the correct one.
So i want to install the Cyanogen mod 7.1 that was released yesterday onto my HTC incredible s. however since i have only just had it around a month i know very little about android rooting and how to do it.
My question is what guide should i use? is this the cyanogen mod good. i cna tpost it here it wouldnt let me.
if so i know doing so will void my warrenty and so is it like jailbreaking where all you have to do is restore to stock firmware?
Update: installed using this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Incredible_S:_Full_Update_Guide
worked like a charm
thank you very much.

welcome to the forum. just remember, this forum is chock full of great info. when you have a question, more often then not your question has already been asked. always use the search button first to reduce clutter
this phone is one of the easiest phones to root. just head here. voila. that's it.
yes, cm7 is THAT good. definitely worth it. fast and prob the best battery life out of all the roms.
you can always get the phone back to it's original state for warranty purposes. always a good idea to do a backup immediately after you root.
have fun.
ok thank you very much. Does the guide on the CyanogenMod website include how to restore to stock if you have to send your phone in?

i don't think so. that info is, however, readily available in this forum. just do a search
come to think of it, i think all you have to do is revert to the stock rom that you just backed up after rooting. someone please correct me if i'm wrong.
Does anyone also know if the root method for the HTC incredible S is temp? Does that mean you cant turn off your device? I'm confused.

no, it's not temporary. it will stay rooted until you unroot and return the device to stock/original state. why don't you try it out? it will be a good way to familiarize yourself with rooting, backing up, and restoring.
Hearing of the release of CM7 got me finally around of rooting my phone. This forum offers great tutorials and I managed to root is fairly easily. After rooting I was also asked wheter I wanted to flash CWM and I answered yes. Everything went OK and I was able to try CM7 after 30 minutes or so. The most time consuming operation was creating backup with CWM recovery.
But my opinion about CM7 isn't good. While I like the the effects and other neat customisation possibilities 3 thing turn me off.
First, I really love HTC's phone or dialler application which helps me find contacts by entering their number or trying to type their names. This is the single most useful thing invented on a telephone. As CM7 doesn't support that (only enterning numbers as far as I know) I will not use it.
Second, I wasn't able to connect to Exchange server for some reason
Third, Android Market shut itself down after 10 seconds and repeatedly kept doing that.

PS. I would have liked to post this info to developers forums, but as I don't have rights, I couldn't.

The markets fixed by going in to language settings and selecting English again.
Exchange worked fine for me...
Download another dialer application..
I'd choose double the speed, battery life and ram any day over sense
lets not start cm7 vs sense. this thread will never end really, it comes down to individual preference and that's not something we can argue.
cm7 isn't prefect but it's close, imo.
Please recommend a dialer app and I will give it a try Dialer One maybe?
Thanks for the market tip.

sounds good. and there are guides in the dev forum if you need some assurance.
Cannot download anything from the Market for unknown reason. The download bar just scrolls endlessly.
E: Restart helped. Everything seems to be working just fine. Will give an estimate of battery usage in a few days time. And will test out Skype as well.
I feel as though the guides here need to be updated current one is from June. Not complaining just sayin is all.

Yeah I think they need updating. From what I can work out the root for the HTC IS is not temp but the guide says it is?

Well I think the HTC incredible S was a temp root but from what I can work out and what you have and others have said it is not. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to tonight.
Hi
I'm new to forums. But I like this one. People are discussing stuff instead of complaining about their devices. I'm learning a lot. But I still need an answer to my question. And I don't think it's very complex. So I thought maybe I'm posting it wrong. Is there anything else one should do to get there post replied to. Like tagging it in some way. It's not a complaint. I really wanna know to be able ro enjoy the forum fully.
Cheers
You don't need to do anything special. What is your question?
Oh cool
Hi
Thank you very much indeed for replying. I was just wondering if it was safe to update a rooted galaxy 8.9. I got the update message in my settings so it's a proper factory official update but I've never done it before so I was a bit worried after having read about some bricked phones and (don't even know what bricked means but sounds scary).
And if you could answer another question as well please that would be really nice.
Recently my tablet crashed in a weird way so I had to reinstall every single application on my tablet. After the crash every single app was force closing and it asked me for the date and the region. Since then it crashes not very often but regularly. So I thought maybe I need to do a hard reset or even reflash the rom. But now, as far as understand, updating my firmware should sort it out for me. Am I right in thinking so?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have not heard of anyone who has bricked their gt8.9 updating a rooted device. You possible loose root when you update, but you can just flash the root.zip again. In worst case you end up with a soft brick, this can be fixed with flashing stock firmware with Odin.
If you are having random crashes, i would start with factory reset. Please dont forget to backup before, because factory reset will delete everything on your tablet.
Update to latest version. Latest versions are a lot better then early builds.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much indeed.
Will I be alright following the instructions in this forum's guide on how to use the ODIN?

Yes, but i don't think you are going to need Odin. Just click update. If you get any problems, then let us know and I'm sure that there is someone here who will help you restore stock firmware if needed.
This thread has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to contribute other than to say that you're a class act, poisike. Too many people on XDA think it's OK to be rude to newcomers and that obnoxious comments about using search add value to the board. +6 internets to you.

what exactly happened to your sim??
not detect or broken or what?
The OP is only telling a little bit of the story, which should read:
I messed up when I unlocked my bootloader the wrong way because I can't be bothered to read. Now that it's bust I again can't be bothered to read how to fix it.
I can't be bothered writing either so just help me.
@op - LMFAO
Learn to read or leave XDA. I for one wil not even point you in the right direction since you can't be bothered!

That's not even a question that should be helped. 1 post, and joined this month. I read my ass off for about a month before jumping into anything. It's called LEARNING. They would like you to do it for them. We were all super noob once. IF the question was: "Hey, I did this, this, and this. I'm at this point and I tried this, but now its doing this? I tried fixing it by doing this. And I don't know what to do." That deserves a pointer/answer/help.
I did the simunlock the other day ive been expiermenting on my g4 and i restored tot method with flashtool like i have in the past. Well internal sd and unlock stuck. When phone booted up it was still unlocked and intern sd data was still there in the past flash tool wipes everything why not this time

Why play with your device if you don't know to expect issues. Guess this one bit you in the ~ too when you can't even run or know what to expect from a flash tool either .So don't ask questions if you can't find your own answers

You are missing the point of XDA! Of course he expects issues if he's modding stuff. XDA is all about trial and error. It's also about helping people to not make mistakes, and to help them fix mistakes they made. It's about sharing information and asking for help. XDA may have orignally only been for developers, but not that is not the case anymore. Even when it was, developers ask for help too! To not ask for help is egotistical and foolish. Intelligent people ask questions.
