Hello everyone first time writing in the forums and need a little help. I am looking to root my HTC Evo for the first time and going to use it through a MAC with Unrevoked. I downloaded the reflash and I have Snow Leopard 10.6 on my comp and for whatever reason when I am prompted to connect my phone along with the debugging active on the phone as well, nothing seems to happen at all and in some instances even freezes up my comp. I was wondering if I have to update my phone to the newest update(3.70) which I haven't done yet? will that make a difference? any advice or help will be so appreciated, thank you!!
Hi looking to see if anyone might be able to answer a couple questions I have . But, first if these questions have already been addressed somewhere forgive me. I tried to find some info on it and to be blunt. The info I did find confused me. Here is what I am trying to figure out. I have the sph d710 BST. Just to let you know where this is going.....What I did was I flashed my phone with the complete wipe JB upgrade file from rwilco12. .Everything was working fine . Voice, SMS....Except for data. I could see the bars on phone and it showed a 3g connection. But no matter what I tried including calling Boost Tech. I could not get any data. They wanted me to factory reset. Nope....I know better. So, anyway now I see where the official upgrade is available from Samsung. But one of the prerequisite is to be on Fl 24?? .. When I was on ICS. I was on the Boost FI22. So my question is ...Isn't Fl24 a sprint kernel? I did find one that said it was ported to boost. What should I do? Go back to stock and flash this kernel? Also if anyone has had any experience using the Samsung windows upgrade tool for JB.. would you share what you did and how it worked? Thanks and sorry for the long story.
Someone please please help me. I am in desperate need of a solution. And before I lay out the issue I am having, I would like to thank everyone for taking their time to read through my post and give their input. I truly appreciate it everybody. Much much thanks.
Just as a disclaimer, I've looked all over the internet, everywhere I can possibly find for days on end, and none of what I found worked for me. It feels like I tried everything there could be, and that is why I am coming here. Again, thank you.
So here's a little background information: I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545). I got the phone over the summer, and as soon as I received the phone I was updated to the apparently dreadful VRUMAE7 update. There afterwards, I tried rooting the phone. I've had rooting experience before with decent success, and never ran into problems like I did. It took awhile for me root my S4, but after awhile I was able to successfully root it. Although, I'm pretty sure I may have done something wrong. You will see why shortly.
So a week or two back, my S4 prompted me to update to the next update. I believe it was Android 4.3 (VRUEMJ7). I was very excited for the update and tried running it. But every time I accepted the update and tried updating, my phone went into Recovery to download the new update and stalled out with an error. Thereafter I would have to reboot the phone to get it working again. After failing to update multiple times, I realized that it is probably because I messed up my root. So without doing much research, I simply tried flashing the stock firmware that came with my phone thinking it should work pretty flawlessly.
I have a Mac OS, so using VmWare Fusion with Windows 7, I downloaded Odin and booted up my phone on Recovery mode, downloaded the stock VRUMAE7 firmware I found online, and began flashing. But Odin threw me a error, so I tried rebooting my phone thinking it would go back to normal. BUT this time, it kept going into recovery mode with a yellow Triangle saying firmware was installed incorrectly, etc. I was so frustrated at this point, thinking that I truly may have bricked my phone.
I began on this long journey of going through all the sources I could find online possible, downloading every type of Verizon S4 firmware I can find, trying every Odin method possible, and spending long long hours of the night biting my fingers at my dreadful fate. I even tried flashing the stock PIT File along with my stock firmware, to see if that would fix it. But no luck. I also tried using a standard windows machine rather than VMware, still with no luck.
I ask you all to please suggest any ideas, thoughts, or inputs you possibly can. I am willing to try anything and everything at this point. Please do help. I appreciate you guys reading through my lengthy question, sorry for that. Just wanted to lay everything out.
Thank you very very much.

Hi there,
it seems an easy problem but do it at your own risk I don't take responsibility of bricked device,etc
so lets go with what you need:
A- Odin [I believe you already have it]
B- stock rom go to this site:
androidayos.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-odin-stock-firmware/
and choose the suitable stock rom based on your Baseband version
C- Drivers installed for your device [if your mac/laptop recognizes your device then skip this step if not google it,download the drivers and install them]
IMPORTANT:Make sure you have 80% or more on battery
after you get these stuff install the device drivers as mentions in C then turn your device off and power it while holding volume up it should take you to download.now open odin and navigate it to the rom which you downloaded from B and flash it .wait for green color to appear and your back to your stock now it should open normally hope that I helped
Basic rundown, I bought an HTC One M8 on tmoblie yesterday, coming off an iphone 4. I've heard you have have have to root your android devices, so that was one of the very first things I did. Shortly after, I was trying to figure out exactly what I could do with the root, and decided to flash a custom ROM. I tried the Google Play edition posted on the dev section of this same forum. Everything worked as planned, except for one huge problem: my data no longer works. I can connect to wifi fine, as well as send texts, but no 4g lte access anymore. Idk if this is a common problem, if I'm doing something simple wrong, etc. I made a backup in TWRP, and saved it to my desktop, and tried restoring my phone to see if that would help, but I must have dne something wrong there too, as it doesn't show any files when I try to restore under TWRP.
I would greatly appreciate any and all help or tips. I'm new to the android rooting scene and should have taken it more slowly. I thought I had done sufficient research, but I guess I ****ed the pooch somewhere along the way. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, been a long time since i have been on a Xoom forum BUT my xoom just stopped working!! It has been working great for years and now suddenly i restarted it and i get the error screen below. Can anyone help me get it going again?? I dont remember what rom i had on it because it has been years since i have done anything to it. I use it but only with the speaker dock as a radio in my room. I dont care about wiping it.
If you have experience in flashing your Xoom, this post maybe help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485
Download the stock-rom that match your device, unpack it and follow the step at the top of the post. you need adb and fastboot
this procedure recover the factory-default-rom
after that you could reinstall a Custom ROM
Regards
Thanks!! How can i tell what Xoom i have? It a wifi only model but how to i know what stock Rom it needs??
