ATT N1 Best MOD

Hey Guys,
Blast me as I know you will --- I just got my n1 for ATT last week after converting from a BB9700;
Questions -
(1) After rooting what is the best mod to do --- everyone has something to say buy I am debating from Cynagen vs ModaCo..
(2) Radio upgrades, Is there a new n latest one for my verison of N1

!!
Try "Search"......and wrong section to post this...

I was in the same situation as you! Just got rid of my 9700 and got a N1
I've been playing with Cyanogen 5.0.5.3 and more recently, 5.0.6.1-testing with the new .33.2 Undervolted/Overclocked/Extra RAM kernel. Everything is very snappy compared to stock and I couldn't be happier
I'm still looking around for radio roms

I'm going to recommend that you NOT ROOT YOUR N1.
Stick with the un-rooted phone for as long as you can.
First determine WHY you want to root.
Do you know shell scripting? You know much/little about Unix/Linux? Are you a power user? Are you an iPhone iBasher?
I've rooted and unlocked all of my HTC phones for the past few years, because I know what I'm doing. I read and read and read, searched searched searched these forums for reasons why I should or shouldn't do this or that.
You are new to these forums. New to Android™.
I say you should play with your new phone for a few months.

I will tell you why 95% of people want to root on the Nexus One. No need to ask a prospect.
The reason is because they want cyanogenmod!
You advice is poor rooting is child play compared to 360 modding.
N1 modding is key to enjoying ones phone.

I have to admit, I rooted my Nexus right away.
Having said that, I spent almost a year on my G1 without rooting it. At first I didn't know it was an option. After I started reading about it, I started to realize that it was probably a wise thing to do. It then took me a few weeks of reading to figure out what I actually wanted to do to my phone before I took the leap and finally rooted it and installed CM which made my G1 experience exciting again.
I mention all this because I agree with OrganizedFellow. Spend some time getting to know how Android works before rooting and adding new features. It will help you appreciate the hard work of the devs even more when you do put custom ROMs on your phone.
If you can't wait, I recommend CM. As for the radio, if your phone doesn't lose 3G and stays connected like it should, don't worry about changing the radio. I "had" to change my radio to try getting rid of my 3G issues that the phone shipped with.

in contrast, if youre not super comfortable with going through the whole process just dip your toes in the water first by trolling forums and reading, you can after all brick your phone. I agree with organizedfellow, take your time and find out why and what benefits. i have not rooted yet but leaning closer as i read more and find that i really need the tethering in case im stuck with no wireless while out on a job (also the different color trackball would be sweet). Out side of those im pretty happy with everything stock, add to it with the rumors of himem coming in a future ota update i think i will be set....just that damn tethering...

You cant go wrong with any ROM available right now, but I highly suggest you try Enomther's ROM as well.

are you serious? nobody said anything about the comparison of rooting an android device (software) to modding an xbox 360 (hardware).
So by your logic, someone should jump right into modding their console because replacing the engine in a Boeing 747 is harder.
To the OP. Take the advice of those suggesting that you wait. For starters, you can see if your device has any hardware issues. Yes HTC is warrantying unlocked devices but why not avoid that hurdle and sit on your device for a week or three to just be sure. While you do that, you can read all that you can stomach in these forums and plan your best course of attack.
Welcome to the fray.

+1 that is some great advice, and I would take it. I was just like you and I last week I rooted my ATT N1. I love it, but I must say that I have put a lot more time into it than I expected. I spent a month before I got the N1 looking into this whole scene and I felt that I had the reasons to root. I would at least spend the time searching forums until all your questions that you have are answered. No body is going to be able to give you a perfect ROM that is for you because there are many different ones out there and what is good for one person may not be the best for another.
I would spend the time to get to know everything before you get going. I would say I know my way around technology pretty well, but if I didn't have the nice folks from this forum I would of had a very hard time with things. When people tell you to "search" they really aren't trying to be rude. To root your phone is a personal choice that only you can make. You are the one that spent the money and people spend a bunch of time making our HTC using lives that much greater.
I spent almost 4 hours last week rooting and unlocking and I have spent easily 30-40 since then learning all that I can learn and I must say that for me it was the right decision because I learned a bunch of things about my phone and now when I have a problem I am comfortable that I can find a way to fix it myself. If I don't then I know where to turn to "search" for help.
If you have any questions I would love to help you out although I am far from a master at this trade. I spent a bunch of time and I have a whole notebook of printouts that I have found in various places all over the web (especially this site) I would be more than happy to send them to you, but just do yourself a huge favor and research, research, research, research, and then when you feel you are done research some more. It will help you in the long run.
Have fun with your phone and good luck

By the way I am running the latest Cyanogen and a few other things. I am having a blast with .apk like the HTC keyboard, and I must say that for me wireless tethering is the greatest thing in the world. I have only touched the very end of this world, and I am so thankful for all the people out there that spend countless hours making our lives a lot easier. I had a bunch of help last week and people really didn't need to spend the time to help me out. I have also messed around with the latest Modaco Sense ROM and I like that a lot as well.

Get the HTC newbs some info...

So I've done a lil searching and can't quite figure out what I want to know....
Lil history on what happened today:
My S4 screen cracked and I was attempting to replace it and broke the digitizer so called up Asurion and they said the S4's aren't in stock so they are giving me the One as a comparable replacement....
I got the Thunderbolt when it first came out and ran it till I got the S3... not gonna lie the Thunderbolt was revolutionary but the S3 was epically revolutionary then I got the S4 after Sammy/VZ put out that update that locked the phone down hard and I've learned to get used to Hyperdrive and have started to love it but I still miss all the flashing etc so I'm taking the opportunity to give HTC another shot essentially to see which device I will get next the S5 or One(2)?
So my question to the One community is how do things work here? How is flashing? How much better are these custom roms than stock? Can I even flash bc I went 3 months b4 safestrap cracked it for us on the S4..?
If it is gonna be possible to flash what do ya'll recommend? Favorites? 2nd's? Link to process for rooting etc?
Thanks ya'll!

You can forget everything that you've learned with the Sammy. Flashing is a breeze on the one and development is amazing. There's stickies in the Q&A section on unlocking, rooting, and flashing a recovery. You will need to read and follow instructions. We expect everyone to carry their own weight around here, and we don't do a lot of hand holding, the development community is too big for that.
Also, the One is nothing like the Thunderbolt was. Really it's like comparing the Thunderbolt to a flip phone, that was a long time ago in the evolution of technology, I loved the Bolt, but it's apples and oranges with the One. If you're considering a Verizon One, you will want to check specifically the Verizon One section, as the development will be more limited as the rest of the world is on a different. That's not to say that there aren't things in here that will work on the One and apply to the One, but Verizon people may give you a different opinion as they are on a device with small market share as far as consumers and developers.
If you want to learn about development and flashing on your device I advise against purchasing from a company working so hard to eliminate the unlocking of their device, and go with a company that's more geared towards an active development community.

Well yes I am with VZ so it will be a VZ One and yes they tuck me off with all this lockdown garbage! So is their a specific vz HTC one forum or is it all in this sub forum? Im going to start doing research on how to work it all... I appreciate all your help and advice!

[Q] Finally decided to root my note 3

Long time xda fan, first time poster. So, I have a bone stock AT&T Galaxy Note 3 N900AUCUEOC1 running lollipop 5.0. For about a year now I've been contemplating rooting it but I'm worried I'm gonna jack my phone up. Besides replacing my lcd screen I haven't done really too much with it. This will be my first attempt at rooting any phone and I wanted to ask a few questions to get some clarification and direction.
First, what currently is the easiest way to root a droid for someone that doesn't speak a lick of tech?
I've read 10 different ways but if anyone would know, its you guys. Does Kingo work with what I have?
What do I need to do prior to root? I.e, what do I need to download?
Also, could you recommend a decent ROM? Whats a good backup app that will actually work?
Lastly, I have a game ive been playing for a couple years and I dont sign in, it recognizes my phone or something, its on my sd card but will i lose it when I wipe my phone? Thanks in advance for your time.
Cassidy

I would never discourage some one from rooting their phone, however, you have chosen a hard place to start. You need to become familiar with odin, and /or safetrap. There are great instructions already posted, but unless you have a working knowledge of Odin, you are going to cause yourself a great deal of headache.
I suggest finding a friend who has done it, and have them walk you through it the first time.
By the way, I have been rooting Android phone since the original Motorola Droid. And I have this one rooted. But I not so easy for people new to the process.
Any way you go, I hope it works great for you!

Thanks for the concern. I used to be pretty smart. Ive watched and read a ton about odin and I guess people just make it look super easy. I've noticed theres a different variation for every model of droid so I gjust need to find the right one and figure out what to do before and after the video stopped. Im just hoping I can find some help here. Thanks again

Best I seen about Odin with a video http://www.samsungodindownload.com/odin-tutorial/ and this is the Odin I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3109599&d=1420980613 Once you think you're ready http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/help/att-note-3-lollipop-t3100657 and post #4 has all the links you need. You are Lollipop so you WILL need to do all four files (first picture shows, if you try the All-In-One you will have problems). I'm on here everyday so if you need any help post here or send a message. I don't mind helping and NO, you do not have to donate to me.

well like i said id come accross in this case nothing lol no root as of now oh well still got my g4 and a s5 for massive testing porpouses

Guys be very careful

Gents last week I bricked my new P9 lite VNS-L31C02B125 which was only 10 days old. I was downgrading from test keys N back to M. The phone went black and that was it with only fastboot mode access. I took my chances, handed in the phone back to the shop and luckily they gave me a new one.
As you us xda members only want the latest and best out there. The same day I received the phone I was on it again and boom it suffered the same death. But this time it died because I was looking for dual sim support. I had to go the way of DC-Phoenix this time revive the phone and boy it was not easy as I was now getting stuck at phone is now booting and could go into stock recovery and that is it.
Too cut the long story short and why I say be careful, there's a rom I downloaded here on XDA and can't recall exactly where and is labelled VNS-L31C432B130 got me confused, as it is the one that ended up helping my phone to come up from boot loop and ending up with dual sim and Nougat B370. Now my question and concern is how a B130 rom change to a B370? I think this is what got my first phone to brick as this is the rom I flashed when I was rolling back to M from N test keys thinking it is android M rom.
The good news is that am now sitting with a dual sim Nougat B370 :laugh::laugh::laugh:

There are people on the forums who wanted to update their phones without waiting for OTA and they brick their phones.
I warned some people on the forum and sadly, most of them called me a troll and other things.
Anyway, i'm happy that you solved your problem

Sounds like your typical XDA know-it-all cowboys that actually have little idea what they're doing. Hate when they do that, because when they release a ROM claiming to be safe it only puts your phone (and wallet) at risk.
That said, I just got one myself, how is development for this phone?

ReconX if you use Nougat
Medrom if you use MarshMallow

I got my P9 Lite a few days ago, and although I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to Huawei devices, coming from the P6 and G7, I'm not planning on updating to Nougat until I get my OTA. This forum is filled with posts about bricked devices, and I'm not in the mood to struggle getting my device back up and running again. [emoji23] I've learnt my lesson with the G7. [emoji13] Hopefully the wait for Nougat won't be too long. [emoji5]

actually, most people on this forum either want to update without waiting, or flash custom roms.
the whole point of this forum is to take a risk and try things, and if you brick your phone, unbrick it and try again till it works.
the way it works on the p9 lite forums is try something, brick your phone and complain about it instead of reading the instructions.
you can't even find the answers to problems on these forums because of the huge amount of threads about the same thing, "i tried this, but now my phone doesn't work anymore. fix it"
the only warning people need is that they could possibly brick their phone if they don't know what they're doing, and if they do, follow the instructions to fix it
