Go to settings and clear storage. Once the phone reboots and it is about to update remove battery to shut down phone. Place battery back in and reboot. Should have all the crap removed.
Or instead of possibly frying your device by taking the battery out you could just soft reset when the customize in 3 seconds screen appears. This sounds alot safer then pulling the battery out when the phone is trying to customize itself doesn't it....
Noobs answering noobs questions.... easy way to get a messed up device.
Or, you could try Rotohammer's new Rom..

yes, there is no need to post this garbage in this thread. If your not going to help then simply ignore them. Ignoring them will either force them to find the info on their own or move to a new home like hofo. n00b bashing does nothing but clutter the board with useless junk.

Didn't you get the memo that said Questions can be asked in development?
But if you do a google search to unroot G1 or Dream it will show multiple results..
You guys know what to do, spread this around and make sure you mention the bootloader issue in the comments section at the bottom.

Well then post something on facebook about the bootlaoder and then hit the survey so you don't feel you are cheating them.
I filled it out...but like the post above me said this is for people who called in or mailed them, etc.
im super glad that root for 2.20 was achieved !! BUT people are not and will not take the time to READ and understand what rom for what phone . !!
its the word of Kevin Hart ..." its about to go down "
i already see people of people flashing CMW and one X roms :silly:
haha you're correct.
It's amazing how they're able to find how to root their phone but are unable to use the forum links at the top of the page to navigate back to the main part then onto development.
Coming . . oh they are already here.

No, its just a statement of fact. This exact thing happened when the 1.85 root was posted. Lots of people waiting to root, and not all of them take a little time to just research and learn before flashing things willy-nilly. Result is a flood of bricked phone posts, that could have been easily avoided.
OP could add a little more detail on what the exact pitfalls are (such as flashing a ROM or recovery for the international version) to serve as a warning, since the bricked phone posts are already starting. Otherwise, I don't see this thread as "arrogant".

sure.
in every portal, on every forum, there is always a pack of vicious n00b hunters who constantly call people out, make people feel uncomfortable/unwelcome, and instead of offering a helping hand, pull out their flame throwers. now, you, YOU, have taken this to a whole new level with an entire thread devoted to flaming nonexistent n00bs.
i think you all forget that at one point or another, before you made that shiny new account with fancy shmancy screen name, back in the ol' hero days, you too were a newb who forgot to search.
this thread is arrogant bc its useless. it serves no purpose other than to unite a bunch of tr0lls to get together and bash faceless people.

i can see the logic there. history repeats itself. but how is this thread or your comments supposed to stop, or alleviate the oncoming newbs. welcome to xda, land of the trolls, home of the newbs. get used to it. its like aids man. you cant stop it. the only prevention is abstinence. stfu and just accept it, because your piddly threads and ugly comments will do nothing to stop it.
to top it all off, even if every time you made a new thread bashing people it stopped 500 newbs from posting, at the end of the day, its not your job. its the OPs' and mods job to reprimand/edit.
U agree with you guys, I've seen posts of people who have had this phone is there first android and they're all like uhh, uhhhhh. If you follow instructions step by step its not hard..

Don't agree. Yes, we can post as many warning as we want, and there will still be plenty of people that don't bother to read them. But if a thread just makes 1 person take pause, and prevents that person from bricking their phone, I say its worth it.
But as I mention before, it would be more useful if the OP was edited to include more specific info and read more as a warning.

the last part we can certainly agree on. it couldnt hurt to have a sticky roll up of warnings. but a big newb bashing orgy is slightly homo erotic, and more importantly, very arrogant

Post 2.20, you won't be able to flash an international ROM because doing so will attempt to write to the boot partition on the One XL, which is now write-protected (that was the previous problem, causing hard bricks). The install will just fail.

Redpoint has been instrumental in keeping track of all resources available to htc one xl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237 and actually abstinence is not the only prevention, you need to spend a little time researching and reading (or ask questions first) before you act but unfortunately a lot of people want instant gratification without doing the leg work. It reminds me of a story about leading a horse and drinking water, sounds familiar ?!
A lot of us spend time answering questions and solving problems but it gets very frustrating when it is not READ out of lazyness and understandably it leads to a little ranting sometimes :angel:

I've only had my S6 for a couple weeks so mine was already updated to the latest OTA version by the time I got it, and so I can't use pingpong. I don't mean to be redundant and post this question if it has already been asked but I can't find any other info at the moment in this forum, but does anybody know if anything is in the works for the current version that it would be worth holding off on the upcoming 5.1 OTA? Or is the root that you first wave guys got to use probably a one-time thing for this phone? Coming from an HTC one where I was able to unlock my bootloader I am starting to miss having root...
If a new Root is available, you will SEE it all over the forums... no need to ask.

Yeah don't bother reading the question before posting a dumb pretentious answer to it. I asked if one was being WORKED ON that was worth holding off on the OTA for, not if one was available now.
I agree.. Lots of jerks in these forums.. I check regularly to see if a root method is available BUT ALSO to see the progress if any.. Simple yes or no or say nothing .. No need to be an ass.

I'm not sure if a root method is being worked on for the current update but I can tell you that the exploit for pingpong has been patched so that is a one time thing. I think our best bet for the next method will be when 5.1 comes out.

No, everyone has given up all hope and quit.
Seriously, what kind of answer to you think you would get?
The people working on it are rarely going to talk about it until they actually have a solution unless they are working with other developers trying out possible solutions. None of it is going to be public until they have a solution to prevent the MFG or vendors from plugging up a new hole they found before they can use it.
Asking if it is being worked on is just plain dumb. This is the same cycle of every new device that has ever been released with the same questions asked all over again.
What really is the point in asking? IF and when it becomes available it will be big news splashed all over the forums not just here but other places.
Constant asking about it is actually a violation of the forum.

Asking once like I did isn't against any forum rules, trolling everything thread you participate in like you do is: it doesn't take a hard look through your posts to see that. I'm surprised your mommy and daddy let you talk like this on the internet. You don't actually contribute any knowledge or development to this site, you just act like a moron to make yourself feel better about how fat and useless you are. Stop even posting in my thread you scum
