I'm interested! I wish this phone had its own space here at xda.

Working on a rom dump just for that the problem is that I don't own the phone. So I get limited time with my good friends phone. Also I got a family so us getting together to do this stuff is kinda hard. If I get a rom dump I might be able to port cm7 to this model. I am no major developer I just tinker mainly. But would like to do more and his dart is a good start for doing more.
Looking to make recovery image as well

i have the samsung dart from tmobil which is this model phone and was curious about rooting it. what kind of benefits does rooting do for a phone? also does anyone have any guide on how to root this phone?
any help would be appreciated and thanks

Download the tool plug in USB cable to phone set phone to USB debugging in (settings >manage applications>development>USB debugging) run superoneclick as administrator.
Then click the root button. Easy as pie.

ok thank you for the information. just want to ask a few questions, do you know if there are other roms that can be used with a rooted dart? also will rooting be able to help with battery life on my phone?
thanks for any help you can provide.

Well there is no custom roms as of now I am tring to get one together but without source code its not easy to do anything. But you can use an app called root explore to remove T mobile boatware. Also use any app that requires root.
Also root will be helpful when a recovery image is made for the dart. Then custom roms will be possible.

I have a T499 (AKA Dart) and I am familiar with ADB, Linux, Kernel Building, Rooting, etc etc etc. Let me know what you guys need/want and I will help however I can. I like this phone, for a 600mhz armeabi, its fast. We need some custom kernel love on this device.. Lets do this.

Has there been any news on any custom roms out? Any luck on software being released?

NANDROID is not compatible with this device, i tried to install on a rooted t499; all well, but when i tried to boot into the clockwork recovery from ROM Manager, NOW I HAVE A DEAD PHONE....ZIPPO, NOT EVEN A BLINK, i've 3 pieces needing repair. however, i'm shooting for 2 will be fully functional. ONCE, i get my hands on the original firmwares...FULL.. so, if anybody out there can DUMP all the files on a link TO FLASH WITH ODIN, THANKS A ALOTTO.
REQUESTING samfirmware FOR ODIN T499---URGENT
also have 1 piece dead as a deer...help

I've been working on dumping the rom but all I get is a 'segmentation fault' when using romdumper... still trying to figure all that out. I think its the way superoneclick roots it.

I know it must be hard to work on, is there any updates on custom roms?

This post has the best links for ya... I personally prefer to do the downgrade manually.
You won't regret this device, trust me ... It says 800mhz on the box but I run at 1ghz and most shifts are overclockable to 1.8-1.9ghz. Sense isn't too bad either, i.m.o, way better than blur. Look forward to seeing ya around the forums! :beer:

Since you are on 2.3.3 you will have to downgrade hboot and root from froyo. The link I posted goes to a post with links. The first link of that post is the one you are looking for...

Like Drob said, to be able to get full s-off you'll have to downgrade your Hboot using one of the above mentioned methods. Or you could upgrade to 2.3.4 and use HTC's half ass unlock tool.

I guess technically you dont have to use sdk/adb.. Im sure you could use terminal to temp root and push the misc.img, then use ShiftRR (an automated root for 2.2.) once you have ruu'ed.

Yes, but in the long run it's going to be better to have all that ISH set up anyway .

Just a question and please dont take it the wrong way, but how does one plan on working on deving/porting miui or anything for that matter without the sdk/adb? I feel it is VERY important to have adb setup.

There's no need to use the unlock bootloader thing from htc, Indirect (over in the dev section) has a root method for 2.3.4 (if you choose to update to 2.3.4 anyway) that doesnt involve using the unlock tools

Well if your taking it to Sprint. Upgrading it to 2.3.4 is probably one of the first things they'll do. Before they even trouble shoot it . if you end up keeping the device, and they upgrade it. you can use the method suggested above. The link is below.

i took it to sprint they didn't give me a new phone sigh... and they did some stupid test whitch i know i could have done myself being a hacker and all.. i noticed phone freezing lagging like crazy my epic at the time was wonderful.. but they didn't upgrade firmware at all.. so i guess how would i upgrade to 3.4 ??

Setting>system updates> firmware update.. rooting does solve all the problems that the phone has

However itll put the us version on your phone. Then maybe u can check for updates on phone and install it for your country(not sure) or u can download any of the roms you find here on the forum. It wont be your turkish version but its basically same. If there was a fxz for it that i knew of i would link you to it.but as far as i know there isn't one online.can u be more specific to which rom you have other than just telling me 2.3.6.

Trouble Flashing ROM
Ok, guys I am really no good at this!! Can someone explain, as you would a child, how to flash my ROM. I have rooted, tooted and tooty frooted my phone. I successfully loaded something on it but now it will not boot and is stuck on the motorola logo and keeps rebooting. I can get apfast boot up but am completely lost from there. I though I followed the instructions to a "T". But honestly I do not know the terms and acronyms.
Basically I got nothin!!!
So what file do I download?
-I've downloaded so many but I do not know one from the other like the edison thingy.
how do I save it on a micro sd card.
All I want is a clean Android system on my phone without all the att garbage and restrictions.
thanks guys!

HTC One X won't boot / turn on after flashing Kernel.

I was on Evita Sense 5 Port ROM and flashed ElementalX 6
I went with the default options in aroma, but at 1.7ghz and selected a lower voltage (one above) the default option.
And now my phone wont turn on.
WHen I charge it ,theres no red light that comes on.
I've tried holding down the buttons
I've already posted in the ROm thread..
But I dont want to fill it all up about my issues you know..and I feel like I'd get much better help here if it has its own thread.
I got an advice about letting it sit plugged in for a while until the light comes on, which is what Im doing now...
But for the time being, if anyone there has any other tip/solutions?
Oh and yes ,Ive searched :X

I bricked mine mucking about with partitions. Got a new one from Telstra.
If you can't get it to start neither can AT&T, so no-one will be able to see if it's unlocked/rooted.
Some will say it's dishonest, but you could just go and take it to them and say 'it won't turn on'. Not really a lie is it?

Thank you very much! It worked!!!

I just decided to send mine into HTC since their warranty still covered it, its already being sent back and it only took literally two weeks. Not sure if they just fixed the same phone or sending me a new one but they handled it extremely fast and the customer support was great.

Looking for developer - ZTE Avail/Merit

I have a zte avail. (although my primary phone is my lg thrive p506)
And yes it has been rooted, with lots of problems, because there isnt any good developers who would like to take on this job and bask in fame and glory.
It is a great device, and since it comes with 2.3.3 as a stock rom, im sure we could get atleast 4.0 on it, maybe even higher. IF SOMEONE TRIED.
im a developer my self, but im not good with roms. and i hope, this message is clear enough - please someone help, im pretty sure people like me will donate money to you to buy the darn device and actually tinker with it so that we can actually use the phone with the latest android version.
Thank you

Hey I've got an avail 2 that I've been working on and I could defiantly use a hand too. I'm stuck in the at&t load screen and the stock recovery does nothing. Where can I find stock image and what is ftp mode for? Adb? Rsd?
