Database Info

[Q] New here with a question- yes I searched=)

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Shehram and I am a previous Tmobile Galaxy S 2 owner (plagued by screen issues and jumped to the sensation). I got this phone and so far, I love it.
I've followed the guides to root and install clockwork etc. I just had one question though that I can't find an answer to. Knowing that there are different variations of the sensation, can I install ANY rom from the development section or do I need to find one that is specifically compatible with T-Mobile USA sensation.
Oh and is the Tmobile sensation labeled sensation 4G around this forum?
Thanks in advance!

Hey welcome to the sensation good choice
Yes, anything that is 4G is Tmobile US.
As far as i know all sensation ROMs support 4g... I use mikes ARHD and during installation there are numerous options to choose extras to flash, One of these options being 4G support.
Im pretty sure all ROMs are like that, But i cannot be sure as i have ever only used ARHD... It does everything i want and more... So i needn't bother looking elsewhere

they are all the same in the dev forum... just watch the firmware requirements (ICS/3.6 require 3.32FW, etc) but the guts are the same from the 4g/Se/etc// so flash away

Cool thanks!

Looking to root my Galaxy S 4g from US Celluar

I been on the search on how to root my SCH-R930 Galaxy s 4g from Us Cellular called the Aviator... (Brand New... Only been out for a week.)
The thing is that USCC is CDMA but their 4g network must be GSM. I don't know if this is a hybrid of CDMA and GSM together or what. (<------ Don't know if that is relevant but tossed it in.) Cant find much on the phone yet....
Anyway my question is the steps to root and flash the same as the T-Mobile sgs4g?
I have tried several different ways and all have been unsuccessful and nothing seemed to work. All that I tried were Software based rooting programs. Super One Click was the most recent and failed.
Just need to know where to start and what forum would be closest to mine.

Here you go this is how rooted mine.

over on the site android forums look up aviator then the post all things root follow those directions thats how i did it make sure you get the software update for the phone from samsung site first. super one click works but you have to get the upgraded software from the samsung web site for the aviator.

[Q] HTC One X or XL?

Dear people,
I recently bricked my phone. Sent it to JTAG and they repaired it. I am being extra careful with whatever I do from now onwards, so I have a few questions.
Do I have an HTC ONE X or HTC ONE XL?
- Downloaded Hardware info and it shows:
> Processor (ARMv7) : ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7I)
The 1.50GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960 in the XL is confusing me
- on factory boot mode, it shows
**** LOCKED ****
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-22222222
HBOOT-1.14.002
RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
Jun 11 2013,14:36:28
- Model # on the device:
> PJ83100
Will I be able to install:

or any roms from here
http://alchemistar.blogspot.com/2012/09/at-one-x-s4-rom-list.html
Before, what I did was:
I did superCID, s-on, and used RUU , complete brick
Now I can start fresh, so please help

You definitely have the HTC One XL, the snapdragon CPU and Evita codename tell us that. You have s-off now, so running an RUU with SuperCID will not cause you a brick anymore like it did previously.
Both of those links are for Evita ROMs, however I don't recommend downloading ROMs from anywhere other than XDA. Some sites don't distinguish properly between phone models. Plus, XDA has everything you'll ever need in one place.
Just make sure you stay within the Evita forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Within that forum are our two development sub-forums:

Do not under any circumstances wander into any other device forum, this is the only one you should be in.

Thank you so much @Scozzar and @timmaaa!
@timmaaa, I really appreciate your detailed answer.
just to make sure with you, the "HardwareInfo" tool I downloaded says that my processor is [ Processor (ARMv7) : ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7I)]
but the HTC One XL has 1.50GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8960. Are these the same things?

Also,
my model # is PJ83100
This always points me to HTC One X and not XL in my google searches.

Also the guy from MobileTechVideos (JTAG repair) asked me for my model#.
After he found out it was PJ83100, he said it is an HTC One X

The main thing you need to identify your device is the codename, which comes up as Evita in your bootloader. Evita is the codename for the HTC One XL / at&t One X. If it was the HTC One X the codename would be Endeavoru.
The HTC One X has a quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, whereas yours has the Qualcomm Snapdragon dual core processor, thus identifying it again as the HTC One XL. The arm7 isn't the brand/name of the CPU, it's actually a classification, it refers to the generation of CPU design that the Qualcomm belongs to.
The guy who did the jtag repair for you most likely just didn't properly articulate to you the correct name of the phone you have. In North America at&t and Rogers confusingly marketed this phone as the One X, even though it's the One XL. I assume this was so they didn't miss out on all the hype surrounding the One X brand and advertising. Everywhere else it's known as the One XL.
Anyways, in conclusion, you have the Evita (One XL), I'm absolutely 100% sure.

PHEWW! Thanks @timmaaa. I was patiently waiting for your answer.
Now I need to muster up some courage to start where I left off!
Don;t know if this is the right place to post this but:
My HTC One XL (EVITA) is not S-OFF, rooted, bootloader locked, CID-22222222 and Clockworkmod is installed
I am now going to start from step 2 of the following thread to install cyanogenmod 10.2. (i.e. Update to 3.18 RUU)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382933&highlight=cyanogenmod+10+2
1. Is it safe to do so given the information I posted about the status of my phone?
2. Will the RUU remove S-OFF, root and Clockworkmod?
3. Do I need to remove Clockworkmod before installing the 3.18 RUU??
Thanks again for all the help!

Correction:
My HTC One XL (EVITA) is now S-OFF, rooted, bootloader locked, CID-22222222 and Clockworkmod is installed

ARM is just the CPU architecture, and in fact both the Snapdragon S4 and the Tegra 3 chipsets use ARM v7. So that info doesn't tell you anything. Its the codename EVITA versus ENDEAVORU that you need be concerned with.

Never heard of that website (your second link), and its just pulling info from XDA anyway. And its far from comprehensive.
Do yourself a favor, and stick to my Index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Everything on my Index is meant for your EVITA.

1) Yes, you should be safe. I only say "should" since flashing anything has its risks, particularly flashing hboot. But you should be fine. Its s-on and SuperCID that is known to cause a brick when you run a Jellybean RUU.
2) Phone will remain S-off. But root will be removed, and CWM will be replaced with stock recovery. You will need to re-install CWM after you RUU. Then you can flash CM10.2.
3) No, RUU will overwrite CWM with stock recovery. OTA required stock recovery, RUU does not.

thanks @redpoint73
Everyone has been so helpful here. Probably my favorite forum by far and I am glad I joined.
I will start the RUU process. Fingers crossed!

RUU 3.18 worked.
Now on to installing CYANOGENMOD 10.2

CYANOGEN 2.0 has been installed successfully. I am really enjoying all it has to offer!
All this has been worthwhile!

There is no process for it. You need to unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery, and flash SU.
Technically, its possible. But devs aren't going to spend countless hours looking for a root exploit, when HTC has already provided a means for doing so.
And do you have the EVITA (dual core) or ENDEAVORU (Quad core)? If you have the ENDEAVORU, you are in the wrong forum section. This forum section is specific to the dual core version, known in most places as the One XL.

In order to install superuser you need a custom recovery (TWRP), and in order to install a custom recovery you must have an unlocked bootloader. So unless you're willing to compromise when it comes to those prerequisites you can't have root. More importantly, do you have the One X or the One XL? You're posting in the One XL forum. What are your bootloader details please?
Also, what exactly do you want to get out of rooting your phone?

Really? You're gonna yell at me with red explanation marks when you haven't done your research and are clearly wrong? The HTC One X Endeavoru and the at&t One X Evita are completely different phones. Go to your own forum, and in future when someone who knows what they're talking about lets you know something, don't be so arrogant to think you know better than a veteran of the forum.

Do you have an AT&T or Rogers version One X?
No, you do not.
It says right in your screenshot you have the ENDEAVORU. This forum is for EVITA.
For ENDEAVORU, you need to post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x
And why on earth did you create another XDA account to reply?

Thank you very much dude
I'm really so sorry
