I was thinking of getting a smartwatch and rooting it then installing a custom ROM that looks like cyanogenmod. I appologize for not knowing the name of the ROM but once I install it could I pair it up with my HTC Droid DNA, or would it only work with Samsung type devices. Also for rooting it, do I have to use a Samsung device. I apologize if I'm confusing things.

I think you mean Null ROM. There is only 2 custom Roms that I know of, the other is TizenMod. Anyway, you can pair it with almost any device, with limited and variable fuctionality. I think it is more dependant on the version of android you are running. Null ROM comes rooted. Read this thread carefully and search. I think you will find all the answers you need there.

Hello, I have been unable to find anything about this elsewhere so I've resorted to asking here:
I am looking to install Android Revolution HD 3.5 on my HTC One, but one thing that is worrying me is that the firmware versions don't match, even though the One I have (from Three) hasn't actually received any firmware updates yet so it's still completely stock apart from the root.
The firmware on the device is 1.28.771.6 and almost all ROMs for the device are at 1.28.401.7. So I am basically just wondering if I have anything to really worry about, because I desperately want to move to ARHD, but the risk of bricking is making me paranoid, due to the process being very different to how it was done on the Samsung Galaxy S II I had before this.
Thanks!

Ah, so I'm just being incredibly silly and paranoid? Good ^^
Thanks for the reply, though I do have another question somewhat linked to this:
Do these version numbers mean anything when it comes to Cyanogenmod, AOSP-PA and other such ROMs?

I'm new with HTC myself, coming from an S2 and Nexus 4, however at the moment there aren't any Cyanogen based roms out, so you don't need to worry for now maybe ask in those threads when they are released.
I recently got an HTC One and I didn't root it or anything, and because of past experiences I'm not planning on rooting it.
But can I still flash the stock HTC One 4.2 update? I didn't seem to get it OTA.

Perhaps the OTA is not yet available for your region or carrier... not all regions have had the update pushed yet and if your phone is carrier branded then there will be a longer delay.

What's your experience?
What I know it's so HARD to brick your phone during root...
And everything except bricking is FIXABLE...

I've owned 5 android phones: HTC Desire, HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy Ace, Samsung Galaxy S2 & Samsung Galaxy S3
The S3 and the Sensation were rooted with custom ROMs and the Galaxy Ace was just rooted. The S2 and the Desire were the ONLY phones I've owned that still work with no lag, no glitches and a relatively good battery. (less on the Desire)
After rooting usually nothing goes wrong and everything is awesome, but then after some time the rooted phones start acting out. It's hard to explain it (because virtually I don't think that's possible), but that's what happens and I want this phone to last.
The HTC One is a beast, the battery is REALLY good compared to older devices, I don't know what everyone's whining about. It's snappy and fast, I've literally never seen it lag (I've had it for a month+). I don't know.. I just don't want to root it for the time being :silly:

make sure you follow every step the tutorial says and you should be fine,
other than flashing an 4.2.2 there is NO other way

There is another way.... he can wait for the OTA to be pushed as the OP has said he doesn't want to root.
Please don't post these type of responses as you are not giving correct information.

we all know he can wait, even he does, but he asked "can I still flash the stock HTC One 4.2 update" and i said other than these ways there is NO other way,
so when he read my comment he said ok if there is NO other ways i will wait!

If you'd read the OP properly he asked without rooting and the answer to that is wait for OTA not there is NO other way
Hey would you look at that, OTA came a day after posting this.
l am new in the rooting and installing the custom roms
i need help on every thing like updating a rom installed a lot
i am using SAMSUNG GALAXY EXHIBIT 4G
For rooting follow the guide in the first post of this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686384
To install a rom, follow the directions in the first post of any rom you are looking at. All info is on this site, most questions have already been answered. And use the search function when you get stuck. This is how we all learned. Good luck.

First thing you have to do is install CWN recovery, you can find all the info you need in this forum.
Make sure you have the correct Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G also, this forum is for the SGH-T679. I think there are a few different versions of the Galaxy Exhibit now. You can check by going to Settings > About phone and looking at the Model number. You can also check the label that's under the battery. It will brick your phone if you flash anything from this forum and you don't have the T679! If you do have the T679 though, follow the link that @Dvarl posted to get started. The version of CWM that is linked there is kind of old, but once you install that you can use it to upgrade to one of the newer versions in the Android Development forum.
The first thing you should do once you get CWM installed is use the backup feature to make a copy of your current stock ROM in case something goes wrong!
All of the custom ROMs should already have root access included. Let us know how it goes.
Hey guys,
So I recently got the HTC One Remix (the Verizon version of the HTC One Mini 2) and I would like to root it and install a custom ROM for it (preferably Cyanogenmod). The problem is verizon makes it hard to do any of these things and sadly switching carriers isn't really an option any time soon so I am trying to make do.
HTC-Dev reportedly won't work with verizon phones and many of the solutions for the HTC One Mini 2 don't work for the Remix even though they are essentially the same phone. Cyanogenmod has the HTC One Mini 2 listed as a supported device but I am not sure if that will work with the Remix because a carrier is not specified.
I have yet to see anyone who has had any luck, so is there anyone out there at all who is running a custom ROM on a rooted HTC One Remix? If so, what did you use to obtain root (sunshine maybe?) and what custom ROM are you running?
I'm majorly new to this sort of thing so hopefully the solutions are relatively easy so I don't end up bricking my phone.
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

As far as I can see there aren't many hardware differencec between the two phones. The only problem is that at this point there is no other way of unlocking these phones then trough HTC dev. I don't think there is a lot of development going on with unlocking with other methods. How do you know HTC dev isn't supporting your device? Did you check if "All other supported models" in the list?

It a verizon exclusive and HTC Dev doesn't work on verizon phones. The carrier blocked it. There's also a disclaimer somewhere deep on the htc site.
Thanks though. I'm just frustrated because I like the phone but I also really want to root it. I've tried a couple of the easier methods like sunshine and towelroot and those don't work I'm only on 4.4.2 but with my low skill level in this area I'm not sure if there's much I can do. I know s-off and root aren't the same thing but that's supposed to make it easier to find a way to achieve root right?
Aha then i'm afraid there isn't much you can do. Only wait for s-off because but I don't think it is goanna happen. My previous device is a One X and they had a huge user/developer base but never achieved s-off. It seems HTC really did a good job at closing this down.
stock rom?
Hi all, I accidentally nuked my memwl stock rom via twrp.. am desperately seeking anything that will make it usable again..
Anyone know where I might find the original ROM? I have only found the stock recovery so far.

I need Stock recovery Please Send me the link :crying:
HTC One mini 2/remix stock recovery
Hi. I might be able help you here.
Here is a link to what I'm pretty sure is the stock recovery. Note this dumb forum won't let me post links, so reassemble this yourself..
h t t p s
w w w . androidfilehost . c o m
/?fid=95784891001615233
Can't remember the exact cmd line.. something like adb flash recovery <file>
Now for the rom, I'll have to see if the link I got it from is still valid when I get home. There's a guy 'jcase' I think on the IRC that uploaded his personal backup that worked for me.
To be clear, the rom is for the HTC One 'remix' - Verizon's branded HTC one mini 2. There is NO working cyanogenmod that I know of.
btw you will need the TWRP recovery to restore from the rom backup when you get it, so the stock recovery might only be useful if the flash still has the recovery image on it.
Certainly worth trying first.
Good luck,
-M
Xda Devs, please we HTC one remix users need a custom Rom and s-off for our device.... We would really appreciate it if you help us
Hey guys
Im sure I'm not the only one who's thinking this but I really wish I purchased the original mini. The reason for this is the only ROM at the moment for this device is CyanogenMod and nobody seems to be making one. Anybody else feel this way?
Also just in case are you involved or do you know anyone making ROMs for this phone?
Thank God that we have at least cm.... I agree with you, and since I have this phone from July, I have been asking for roms since the first day, but this device isn't so popular yet... Vi there are kernels and mods, better than nothing. This forum sometimes is dead for weeks, I wouldn't be surprised that there is no interest in development
You guys really want a custom rom ?

Absolutely.... Preferably lollipop xD
@Will972 is one of the biggest contributors, as he gave us stock roms for every update
A sense rom based on lolipop will be planed soon on 2015 .. we must first have a kernel dev for a possibility to have it earlier but we don't have it.
The only thing we can have is a custom rom with 4.4.2 base
I just miss xposed since there is no idiot rooting guide.
I will make a rom with some stuff like xposed and sense 6.0 toolbox and maybe harman kardon mod instead of boomsound

I know rooting a HTC is not as easy as rooting a Samsung but still it is not hard. The most annoying part is unlocking the bootloader, but even this is easy, but killing time. Once this is done, you need 2 files: twrp recovery

HI indy140
You are not the only one thinking this, read my Statement(s) under Johann A. Sutter in this Forum!
I have made the same experience, for some reason or another it is obviously, that it is not so interesting (or to complicated) for developers to keep them busy with this device!
Good Luck, I'm keeping myself busy, to buy another one, looking before, if there are already valuable possibilities, to be my own Boss about my property.
