Does anyone know how to get full flash? I've read a N1 thread that said HTC phones can run it, but I can't get it to work.

The file is on the 2nd page. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Do you have the Android SDK installed and are familiar with using adb?

Could you check to see if it's possible to disable LTE? or did AT&T do something to prevent that as it does on every phone but the iPhone?

IIRC, you should just be able to `adb pull /system` to get the important bits. It's not a full dump, but I think you need root level access for that. And the only way I know how to get root access is to flash a zip through recovery, and TWRP/CWM hasn't yet been released for the First.
I couldn't disable LTE but I don't see why I would, the battery is awesome. Can't dump anything right now I'm out. Am I the only person with this phone already?

Well, considering that it doesn't come out until tomorrow, I'd be willing to say yes.
I was wondering why no one was posting anything about it. Lol

So in all seriousness, I have the First, I have the bootloader unlocked via htcdev.com, I'm rather familiar with adb and fastboot, and I would love to upload a system dump if someone can tell me what commands to run.
I'm trying `adb pull /system` right now, but it's getting "permission denied" on some files, so I don't know how useful that will be. I've also tried looking around online, but just about everything I find is assuming that you already have a custom recovery or a rooted system; nothing wants to tell me how to get myself to that state from scratch, and I'm very hesitant to just start flashing stuff at random without a proper image dump to fall back to.
Anyone have a good idea where to start?

Do you have a retail AT&T First? Can you confirm that retail AT&T First is unlockable via htcdev?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Yes, this is a retail model, and yes, the bootloader was unlocked via htcdev.com.

Humor me for a moment, if you will. Connect your device to your computer and run `adb root`. You should get a permission denied error of some sorts. I'm curious to see if Facebook is shipping with root enabled.

That's what I figured would happen! It looks like this may be an option to root the 4.1.2 build. It worked on the One S and the Nexus 7, which gives me hope.

No good, but thanks for providing the link. The only shot we have left is waiting for the RUU to be leaked so we can pull recovery out of it, and get a CWM/TWRP made from it.
What is RUU and how does that help us? Sorry, just coming from a Nexus-only world, so I'm not familiar with modern HTC/Samsung devices.
Sent from my HTC first using xda premium
RUU stands for ROM Update Utility and is a Windows executable file that can flash and restore a HTC device. There are ways to extract binaries from this file, and if there are no root exploits that will work on this phone, we will need to extract the original recovery.img from that RUU to build a custom recovery, in which at that point allows us to flash SuperUser.apk to get root.

RUUs for the HTC One were first available on March 26, just about a month after its announcement (and, oddly, a few weeks before it's general release). Since these have to be leaked by HTC, there's no telling when we will see those. Is there any chance another root exploit exists in stock Android 4.1.2 that we could exploit in order to get root?
I got a nexus 6 from ATT since I couldnt afford it outright, surprisingly no bloatware was installed on it besides the splash screen and ringtones (yes I had sim card in during setup). I wanted to get rid of the ATT splash screen and ringtones and I know that can only be accomplished by rooting and deleting the partition they are in. Question is: if I remove them now will the just be reinstalled when OTA update comes(I know I'll lose root)? Also will rooting and removing the partition void the warranty on a nexus device?

There's a thread in general covering this
I saw several threads on the topic but, couldn't find the answers I was looking for. Most of the threads have 20-30 posts and looking through all of them to find an exact answer can be pretty tedious. Can you provide a link to the thread you are talking about? And yes I've tried typing a query into the search box.

Can't take OTA while rooted. Will have to flash stock to update anyway so might as well just flash the full factory image. Warranty depends on carrier and how hard they look. Can always save the OEM files and put them back.

Saw your post while trying to find this thread again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/remove-att-carrier-customization-thread-t2947581
Figured the nice thing to do was share it.
You don't have to delete a partition, just delete/rename a few files.
E.g Rename /oem/media/bootanimation.zip to get rid of the boot animation.
I think the ringtones are in the oem folder as well.
Hi. I was just wondering if there is a way to add custom sound to bootanimation on CM12 Roms, or any other ROMS for that matter. Please let me know if there is a way.
If I remember the CyanogenMod sound at boot or shutdown lost support because most people never wanted it.
no boot sounds on the nexis 6
Thanks for letting me know.

that old 5 year old tutorial is for a much older version of android that allowed boot sounds. our nexus doesnt allow boot sounds no matter what you do to it.

This may be way wrong, and im not saying anyone else is, but doesnt the AT&T version have the obnoxious boot sound during the boot animation? I just thought i remember that being a complaint.

oh, good point. but i have no idea
I think it was something in the OEM partition. But I can't tell you. I formatted it
Hey guys,
I had whats seems to be a hardware bug on my nexus and amazon is going to give me a 1-to-1 exchange for free but i want to know how to restore everything back to stock att. I have unfortunally (now) deleted the OEM partition and want to know how to get everything back to the way it would be out of the att store. If the OEM was the only difference from the factory image, i can copy the files from the new nexus when it gets here .
EDIT: Sorry for the stupid title. ATT shouldnt be there twice
