Sorry that I am a noob, but I have been reading threads for a couple hours and haven't found a source that will answer my question.
What is the easiest way to get JB on my HOX?
I have ran into some that seem easy but only to find that I need a CID of HTC_xxx where mine is CWS_001. After a post directing me to this forum I have continued to try to find something to help me get JB and no luck. If there is a post that describes this please reply with it, or if anyone would be kind enough to post directions on how to do this that would be greatly appreciated.
Again, sorry that I am a noob at this, first Android phone, switched from iOS after Apple's disappointing "new phone", aka iPhone 4s with an extra row of icons.
Thanks!

First, you can use this tool to easily root your phone, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426), then flash any JB ROM you like and just follow the instructions.

Thank you! I will use this to root my phone. Where might I find a JB ROM for my CID? Maybe I am missing something but that's where I run into the most difficulty.
Thank you again for your quick help!

You have to change your CID from the AT&T default before you can unlock anyway. Once you do that, it doesn't matter anymore.

The CID will be changed to 1111111 before you can unlock your phone and then root, so don't worry about that. Happy flashing!

Ok...all these noobs getting the phone for free are now pissing me off completely. If you want to overcome being a noob, you have to put in time to read and search. DO NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION AT HAND
Being a noob means you should have at least watched the noob video when signing up. If you did not you broke the first rule of XDA and you need to watch it. If you did watch it(which I suspect you did not) you would know to search and read before posting. The community is here to answer questions we all have, but not questions that have been answered over and over again. Nor to spoon feed you.
oh ****...i know whats going to happen after he gets it rooted.......Don't you?? i see a brick coming up from attempting to flash the EVO OTA.
zac507, there is no official jb sense for our phone. someone should of stated that in the first reply shame on ALL of you. if you read his OP you would see he already tried flashing the endeavoru jb rom which is why he got the CID error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044729
Here are GREAT guides for noobs basically from start to finish here. When I was first starting I made a Q&A thread ONLY after reading enough to where I was confused and not confident in going forward without consulting others.....The key here is that you need to read and understand what you are doing first before you ask for help otherwise what good is the help?
Anyways, good luck reading and hopefully everything goes well

That would indeed explain his obsession with his CID. Good catch.

So what does this mean for him? How can you flash a endeavoru jb rom without being unlocked and rooted?

I wasn't trying to be mean lol....and just read the op again, unless I don't know how to read I see NOTHING about it saying that's what he was doing.....so maybe if you read the op...............

Thank you to everyone (except Chef). I will continue to read and do research before rooting or flashing my phone.
Chef, I have read through the forums quite a lot, asked others who have flashed other Android devices and watched many video tutorials on the subject. But before doing anything I wanted to ask a specific question that I did not see in the forums to get a clear and concise answer. Since I PAID for my phone, I do not want to brick it, hence my thread. I suggest you pull your over-inflated tech ego out of your swollen rear and learn to read. I said I was a noob at this. Noobs have questions. People on forums answer questions to help them. You, on the other hand, just act like a prick and contribute nothing to the thread. Thanks for absolutely no helpful information, please stop posting on any forum if this is how you do it.
Again, thank you to everyone else who replied. You were very helpful!

Where do I begin to correct this post?
First, let's start with the fact that you asked "what is the easiest way to get JB on HOX?" Well assuming you read, and searched and etc. you wouldn't need to ask that question considering you would have had the answer already because you in fact read and you would know that you can flash countless JB roms if bootloader unlocked and rooted.
My over inflated tech ego must have got in the way though. Even though you asked a question which is so similar to all the other JB related questions asked on this forum.
Obviously you need to continue to read(skimming and reading are different) considering the fact that you try to run an international RUU on your phone...
I was looking out for your best interest, if you want to take it to a personal level and call me a prick so be it, but I sure hope I help ingrained the fact that you need to read more before tinkering.
I think my rear is swollen I should go lay down
Zac, if you have any trouble or need help I for one would be willing to help, sent you a pm so we don't offend anyone else in here.

Where the heck is "over there"? I assume some other device.
If somebody with 400+ posts on here doesn't get the purpose of custom ROMs, what the heck have you been doing here all this time?
Hi Guys, so question is pretty much in the title. I did a search, but honestly didn't know what terms to use.
Basically, I'm using rXTREME's 5.0 rom and I want to update to 6.0. Do I need to wipe and reinstall or can I upgrade over the existing rom?
I ask this because although I like updates, redoing your phone every few weeks is wearisome, though not complaining about the rom itself
Thanks!

Hi everyone, sorry to ask such a foolish question for my first post. I read Arter97's post about his kernel that he posted. I am having issues with my N920w8 Note 5, with a random kernel I flashed on, reboots during phone calls unless plugged to a charger. I read a lot of threads on here saying a new kernel would fix my issue, so here I am... Would I need to flash my Kernel back to stock or whatever it is before I use Arters kernel? It does say factory reset but would that flash back the original kernel from Samsung? Sorry if the question sounds stupid but I am not to aware of the rooting etc.. but trying to learn. Any reply is appreciated thanks guys.
Anyone please

for sure hell help you out on that...
Well this started yesterday and for some reason my phone was getting really hot and laggy I tried to clean some of my running apps but I didn't really helped, i tried restarting and still was happening so I booted to safe mode and checked what was causing this and I found out that "Android system" was using the most memory about 1.5gb out of 3
And this is Frist time this is happening and I didn't change anything on my phone or installed any app that would cause this.
I'm on Android 7.1.1 beta lasted build (NMF26F) running on Nexus 6p non rooted.
It would be nice if you could help me out with this.

Hello,
Try a hard reboot or maybe flashing the firmware again if that helps.
We don't own the device so it is difficult for us to know what's causing it.
You may post your query here [Q&A] Noob -Friendly Q&A Help Thread - Ask Your Questions Here! with all relevant details, the experts might be able to help you in figuring out the issue.

Its been awhile since I had my Pixel rooted so I just rooted again,but had a couple of questions to verify before I move forward with what i want to do. Right now I got 8.1 rooted on my phone,on Slot A. I was wanting to flash a custom ROM and seen that if you are currently on Slot A, when you flash the new rom, it will flash to the B slot, is this true? Also, if I do this, could I keep my current 8.1 rooted on my Slot A, and use the Custom on the Slot B,kind of like dual booting? I do know with the custom I got to get the Gapps on the opposite slot(right?), so how would that work? I know I can google some of this but havent found a clear answer and want to make sure before I proceed. The Custom I want to use is either Havoc (which I have tried and it failed) or Lineage OS. Thanks
No one,really? Almost 30 people have looked at this and nothing? Not trying to be pushy but just looking for some advice. Not going to Google it and follow anyone so that's why I'm asking here,for expert advice.Ill figure it out on my own I guess.

OK. These forums are not to spoonfeed you. All of the questions you asked in the paragraph above have been answered across the Pixel forums multiple times. Perhaps a bit of googling would do some good.
We should pin how to install on the top of the roms page

I did Google all this stuff,and not finding clear answers to anything just like I wrote,that's why I created this post. Just asking, since this site used to be cool and helpful. Mods go ahead and delete since this ain't going nowhere.

Yes that would be awesome, and maybe some detail on the slots,which threw me off,I think I got it but not positive,which is why I was asking.
