The last thread turned into junk. I'm not a dev and am totally new to this site and Android. I come from the iPhone community and I hate to see such a good thread go to waste. The other one turned into a disaster. Moderators if I'm out of line delete this thread. Thanks again AcidBath for all the updates and thank you to all the devs working on this problem.

Welcome to XDA, always good to see new members
Moderators already have posted and warned in WIP Root Incredible thread that disrespect and flaming aren't tolerated here, so no need for a new thread.
Glad you are here.
Cheers!

What is wrong with THIS thread???
This needs to be closed.
You had the right idea in mind OP, however it's better to clean up an already developed thread than to start a new one that covers the same topic. Multiple threads/posts about the same exact thing are the bane of forum moderators everywhere =p.
Just to clear this up....

You'll have to wait a few days or longer for all the recent drama to settle. The whole think to me looks like a publicity stunt for someone's new forum. Regardless of the fake claim made by some asshat yesterday, there has been a lot of BS from the get-go.
Let me sum it up for you:
"Jake" makes claims of booting an overclocked rom on the Incredible (leading everyone to believe he had root - is there any other way to boot a modified kernel without root??)
Jake posts non-working links to his kernels and asks for donations because he doesn't even have a dinc in the first place.
Someone buys Jake a phone (supposedly)
A FAKE Jake posts a fake picture on more than one forum, claiming to have success.
Real Jake apparently knows this but waits entire day to state it wasn't him?
Real Jake also apparently has a conversation with trusted person "Adicbath" BEFORE stating it wasn't him and leads him to believe he does have root. (this is the real confusing part I would like more answers on. If true, the real Jake is the asshat. If false, Acidbath may have a serious drinking problem)

just to clear this up:
I asked Moderators to close my threads on XDA and Here as well.
I don't drink, so no drinking problem...Lmao.
The exact timeline from my involvement is:
Opened thread.
Monitored Devs exploits and methods and would report back their results.
Got superboot from Paul Obrien Modaco page and passed it onto to Devs that hadn't already seen it.
Saw jake day claimed overclock etc.
Reached out to his friend bootbscoob via forums and eventually speaking via GTalk, to try and get direct news and methods to post here and XDA for everyone.
bootbscoob put me in contact with REAL Jake Day.
Saw picture online showing root.
Contacted Jake Day via GTalk, asked him if root is achieved and is that his picture and can he please share method/instructions.
He told me YES he had root and that he would release instructions on his blog that night, also when asked about inconsistencies in the picture he said he would address that with instructions/root blog post.
I believed him and also saw that websites androidcentral.com and androidguys.com and phonescoop.com reported root was achieved, so I updated post here and XDA.
Then propped my BBQ with wife and family.
Came back to GTalk messages from bootbscoob saying it was fake, and forums raving and going crazy.
I sent GTalk message to Jake Day asking WTF? If this is fake why didnt u say something and is this really jake day, and the only reply i got was he would clear it up with his friends at alldroid.com and he was the real jake day, then silence.
I then decided that this became a crazy lying dabocal and asked mods to close the threads.
Also to be clear, I am a WinMo chef, average Android Chef, and not a developer. I am learning more all the time but at no point have I rooted a phone myself, I have only tried to help and learn from experienced developers, the same way I learned how to chef my own WinMo roms.
My goal was to have a thread so that the average incredible user could easily find the status on root and ask questions and possibly speak to Developers if they came by, that is it.
I want no credit or glory, I only wanted to help and be involved because I enjoy Android and cell phone hacking.
Good luck all, and I wish everyone the very best in all their real lives
As previously mentioned. It's easier to keep the discussions in one place. After the root is complete, I'm sure a new thread will appear, but until then...
Closed,
Dave
Hello,
I've been lurking these forums for a while and decided to register. After considering installing a custom ROM on my vivid idly for months, I've decided to go through with it.
I think I've decided I want to use WCX Illuminati, however I've been having trouble with their forums. Every time I go to their website I am greeted with a bulletin stating "Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment..." I've thoroughly searched these forums, and have found that this could indicate one of two things, the board could be closed while Wild Child is uploading a new update, or registration could be closed.
I've been checking the WCX forums 2-3 times daily since Friday, and have still gotten the same bulletin message which casts some doubt on the uploading a new ROM theory, but Google's cache of the site from Friday morning shows that it was running normally then. I've also noticed the the portion of the WCX forum for logging in is working perfectly while the register portion gives the same "Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment..." message, which could mean that registrations are closed.
I figure there are at least a few regulars that come both here and there, so I guess this would be the best place to seek help.
Are there any ways I can get to the WCX site, and if not, What ROMs do you guys recommend?
Thanks.

Excellent, this is just what I wanted to hear
So you came at XDA-Developers to find help? Well, this is your thread!
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"
Hello new user and welcome to XDA-Developers. We are a developer’s forum, with the purpose of development. Our work can be used in several ways, and, we know that sometimes it could help you. So, in order to maintain our forums clean and properly organized maintaining a proper development environment while at the same time to give you a chance to join our forums we created this thread.
This thread is for sensible questions from new or inexpert users. If you think your question may be a little basic for a developer forum then this is the place to ask it.
Here you shall find an atmosphere free of prejudice, where we will try to help you in your problem, answer yourmost basic questions and aid you on troubleshooting your device. We know that learning all the technicalities takes time, however they are necessary in order to interact with us.
Bare in mind that we are not technical support, we do not work for any company or get paid to help, we are just independent developers gathered in a community called XDA-Developers. Therefore all we will do is guide you into troubleshooting your device yourself, but under no circumstance we are abided to do so.
We want you to become the kind of user we see as productiveto a developer’s community, and why not?, to be a developer yourself!
Note to General users:
This is a chance for more advanced users to “give back” at XDA-Developers the knowledge we have gathered together in a decade of development. This is a thread to behave in a tolerant way, taking into consideration that the user posting queries might have never even heard words such as “adb” or “ROM", so, if you are not willing to be helpful, I kindly invite you to browse into another thread.
"Time has changed, Users have changed and so will XDA-Developers"
Moderators will not tolerate "flaming" or "trolling" in this thread as it is specifically provided for those who are still learning the basics.. We will delete and sanction without warning any post that show intention other than to help the new user.
Okay, then, I have a newbie question: can someone explain exactly what "S-Off" means?
Take S-Off for Security Off. With S-Off you can directly write to kernel, bootladers and radio, while S-On devices would need a second device (a PC) to write to those areas. Its like a protection mechanism for us not to brick our phones (at least not as easy).
There is plenty of explanations at our forums if you want t get into technical details or just want another explanation. Just try using the search button in the right top corner of XDA pages, you will be amazed how much you can find .

I'd go on with another newbie question.
If I'm not wrong rooting breaks warranty (in most of the cases at least) but I think (again im not sure) we can reboot our device to factory settings before giving it to technical service to fix its problems.
What happens if the device is not working? Is there an external way to fix the rooted system back to normal?
I am going to go with a NO in that subject.
Although there are plenty of methods that have been successful in several handsets in the past by using third party hardware, it can get complicated even for a advanced users to do so, since it might involve technichal aspects only manufacturers know about.
Normally, these methods are developed and posted here, depeding on the handset, it might be easy or not. Not so many years ago, these methods were as easy as flashing a "untouched" firmware, but lately, manufacturers have been implementing methods to detect if we have touched the bootloader and have increasingly making it harder for developers to break them, thus returning to a "factory untouched" state is getting harder with every new device.
In short, If you want your warranty intact beyond the existence of any doubt, do not root.
And why is my galaxy tab crushing with cm 10 mod with latest gapps. I dont really think it is a noob question.
Guys, please keep your questions device specific.
We can't be discussing Galaxy Tabs here.
Thanks
I have a problem and I'm new here, so I just reply in this topic. I'm sorry for my little English.
I have a HTC One S and I dropped it a few days ago, now the volume down button is dented and I can not use it anymore. Since you can still set te volume by pushing the volume up button and swipe the volume down, i thought it was ok.
Now I wanted to turn my phone off and this is what I've got:

Please help!
I see this is the wrong topic but I am unable to delete this message, I'm sorry.
Well, it is a hardware fault since its broken, so not much we can help you here. Try maybe reading the HTC One S specific forums to find a workaround, but honestly, you better replace the handset.
I have two good question. What is the difference between the HTC One developer edition and the regular one (ha).
What I've seen made it look you would struggle with putting roms on the regular one.
Also, how soon is the one likely to have roms and people putting the latest android on it (like pure nexus jelly bean)? Like a couple months, a year?
Thanks for your help

The difference of the Developer Edition and regular one is that it is already S-Off, unlocked bootloader(no need to go to HTC dev) and has 64GB storage. And it comes only on one variant which is a US LTE type. So LTE won't work on Europe or Asia.
Regarding AOSP(pure nexus ROM) probably less than a month after the release of kernel source code by HTC on which I dunno when it would come.
So this will be my first non-nexus device. Will there be custom roms that will be up to date with the latest version of Android so I don't have to wait for HTC? If so, how will their stability be?

Give it time and there will be. I'm sure they'll be stable enough when released anyway.
I'm also coming from a Nexus and is a first for me to be getting a HTC.
It is possible to use the EU version of the HTC One in the US? I'm debating between the developer version and the EU since I'm located in the US (and want an unlocked bootloader), but it looks like the EU version would work on AT&T?
HSPA/WCDMA:
Europe/Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE:
EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
US (Sprint): 1900 MHz
Asia: 1800/2600 Mhz

Yeah it looks like it, but, if you want an unlocked bootloader, developers edition should be your choice (that is what I would do)

Hi naeembakakheil.
First thing you might want to do when looking for firmwares for your mobile device, is look in the correct section. Try here for your device specific info.
Second, please browse through those forums, read the OP of each thread which includes the description of the ROM you are about to flash, and then, read through the replies your fellow users have left to see their impressions, you can usually find all the help you need by reading. This would be a good place to start. If you still have any doubts, then ask in the appropriate thread. If after extensive search you still do not find the appropriate answer to your question, then ask in the Q&A forum of the device (although if you do know how to search, you will hardly ever need to open a new thread, almost every question is already answered).
What you must not do ever is.....ask without reading or even worst, read the incorrect information (as in not your phone's forum), you could easily break your device useless by making that mistake.
When can we expect 4.2 ROMs for the HTC One?

No one can possibly tell you that. As a matter of fact, XDA was founded because of the same queries arouse between members...until they started building themselves. So, I kindly invite you to join our developer communitty and build yourself a 4.2 or at least get invokved in the process.
I wouldnt recommend coming to xda with expectations of the arrival of something, since it can be a very long and boring time . Its best to be involved in the making of things here at xda, that way I guarantee you will not get bored and eventually, you will get what you want.

I am a long time iOS user who recently switched to Windows Phone 8. Seeing how customizable Android is, I am thinking of making the jump soon. I have a lot of things to learn about this wonderful operating system, which is why I joined XDA
What goes into making a custom ROM? Do we need any specific files/firmwares/kernels/drivers from HTC to make a 4.2 ROM? Are there not any devs working on 4.2 ROMs for the One?
Hi, i would like to ask a question and rant at the same time , is there any way to bypass the exchange activesync security settings,
the story is that the IT Technician at my school stupidly wiped my tablet after my cousin tried to unlock it 5 times
now i want to readd my school email without letting my 'IT Technicians' wipe my tablet.

First off...this is the wrong forum to ask this type of questions, nothing but trolls here . Second, I lol'd at your misfortune mate...that security feature is there for a reason. And last but not least...you are yet to provide this fine community with pertinent info about your device, android version and most importantly a picture of your cousin for teh LULZ!!11!!
Thread closed! I recommend you search for the forum for your device and post this question (which has been dealt with in many, many occasions with already) on the Q&A forum.
Cheers,

Hi guys. Been a while. So, the government here has come out with a vaccine passport which will be needed to do just about anything. Therefore, I will need to upgrade the wife's S5 to 8.1, from 6.1.
Now, I see a bunch of things online obviously, but as I recall this place here was/is the holy grail for cell phones. Just hoping to not have to buy a new phone as our pensions don't leave all that much wiggle room.
Just need to be pointed in the right direction is all.
Thanks.
Crap, I may have posted this in the wrong place. Sorry.
Do you have TWRP flashed to the s5?
There aren't really any maintained roms if any now a days for the S5 but if you want the newest version look into Mokee that's 9.0 and still gets updates here and there from memory
What's the model of the s5?
Everything you need is within the s5 forums but if you need help just ask
Where do you live that the government has required such as thing?
