Did you look in the dev section? Not finding any roms huh? I guess you aren't looking then.

Kindly point me to something that has everything working. Since I guess I'm not looking.

Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Thanks for posting half working or stock roms, it was real useful. No wonder this phone doesnthave near the developement as other phones. Roms that work completely and aren't betas would be great. Why is everyone being so difficult ?

You've just about overstayed your welcome here. Post something nice, or don't post at all. And if you want to leave our device, PLEASE let me show you the door.
There are some great roms here and the dev action is amazing. You don't like it, LEAVE!

Never said I didn't find a rom. I don't find any that are not in some way broke. Hence the reason asking for roms worth flashing. So far everyone points to betas or stock. I'm on stock. Don't you think I was in dev section to have got s off, root and unlocked boot loader?

I think I know what he means, he wants to know why our dev section isn't absolutlely over crowded with 15 of the same base ROMS with different tweaks or a different devs name on it. And the answer is the devs are giving us everything they CAN, and if you feel development is lacking blue did one hell of a job on writing up a dev reference guide so feel free to pitch in and start developing if its not to much to ask? otherwise ill just look at you like another end user who only uses xda to better his/her device and does nothing to further development

Nothing to see here, I'll wait til the official tool is released by the dev.
Looks like Adam has combined a bunch of the best root & recovery tools into one easy to use package. The DebugFS root is also available separately here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342

Worked fine on my GS3. Love having the ability to root, recover, flash stock, and unroot all in one spot.

Ok question then. when I root will I lose all of the data on my phone?

Depends on the root method. If this replaces the rom then yeah you will lose everything, but if you use this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342
then you will not have to change anything and it's pretty straight forward.

I had to do a factory reset on my phone yesterday to troubleshoot another issue, so I can't say 100% but the few changes I made earlier today (wallpaper, lock screen shortcuts, ringtones, installed Pandora) stayed in place. From the script, it just copies files over and then moves them to system partition during next couple boots. It does not wipe data / cache / dalvik like when you load a new ROM.
I don't know about the java tool here but the one Aquila mentioned ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342 ) works perfectly.
You won't lose settings or have to clear anything. Its really useful if you're on the VRALG1 firmwares and don't want to revert to LF2 from flashing a rooted ROM.
I downloaded to my pc, then hooked up my gs3 nothing? What an I suppose to do?
Never mind it worked

Should move this Thread to the development section. And let the Devs tell us if this is good or not, Pros and cons.
just noticed that Adam is a dev.but should move to development so it can be seen more!!
This tool works well without loss to data...of course no one but you is responsible if something goes wrong but from what I see it uses the debug method I have used it and obtained root fine

I'm going to go ahead and say it...
Adam posted this in the development thread where they are working on cracking the bootloader. If he wanted the masses to be using it or if it was ready for the masses to use he would have posted it outside of that thread.
I don't know if it was bc of this thread or not, but this got picked up by droid life and he had to take it down off the R&D thread.
Stuff like this shouldn't be reposted outside of that thread until it is ready and the dev who came up with it says it is ok to do so (or just posts it himself).

It may be safe, it may not be. I would go with there is a reason he hasn't released it to the public and you should use previously established methods for all this stuff.
Good point, wonder why he held back?

Hey guys, as the title states, is there anyone working on root method for the latest OTA (9/4/12)? I foolishly updated, as always hoping they'd fix the reloading issue, and now I'm stuck on it because I can't seem to find a working root method for this update. If anyone needs a test phone, then I'm up for it, I gotta get this thing working properly already!!
Thanks,
John

I know what you mean, I've also gone through a bunch of different websites, and nothing there, perhaps another phone with a similar OS has a solution that could be worked off of. Heck, I've fiddled around with a few different methods, but the primary issue is not being rooted. I managed to get a part of the clockwork recovery, but even though I had a ROM in the sdcard root, my phone just rebooted, and no change was made, may try a different ROM for the heck of it.

He doesn't ignore the " newbs " . Remember we are all newbs at some point or another. He just has a busy schedule. Plus keep in mind he does not own a Shift.

I think I will, even though I just used an external application to do the reboots for me, where tacroot couldn't get the permissions.
It came as a surprise, as most of the stuff I tried failed me.
Hmm maybe this will inspire future devs to just mix and match rooting methods to get root
Nice job even thinking of combining those though

I'll link to my thread. I wrote one up last night asap.
OK don't flame me for being a noon about this but would it be possible to port gingerbread to the one s? Maybe like cm7.1? I know this sounds really dumb and alot of people are probably going to be like "why would you want gingerbread? Its old and outdated" but some of the best custom ROMs I've ran were based on GB and i would like to attempt porting them but have no GB base, so my real question is does anybody think its possible?

Possible? Of course it is, its open source.
Will anyone in their right mind do it? Very much doubt it.

Verizon is offering the HTC One M8 running Windows Phone 8.1. Interesting, huh?

People laugh when they say, you have the M8 instead of the G3? I could honestly care less...but hopefully someone can dump the WP and pull it to our android side somehow!! Thatd be awesome. Oh...you have a G3? Well I run Android and Windows...

I'm guessing since the new WP is the exact same device as the android version it sounds possible. If it happens I'll definitely give it a try.
It would be interested if I could I could load up windows on my HTC one. Too bad it is only on Verizon's overpriced network.
Very interesting, I'd love to try out Windows on a phone but I can't really afford to just go and buy a phone to try it soo this would definitely be a + for me. Hopefully someone will make a way to dual boot or maybe port MultiROM to the M8 if Windows will work on our Android versions of the M8.
This is the only way I would actually try a Windows Phone, so if it can be ported, I would likely try it. Though I doubt I would stick with it too long...but who knows.
Anyone remember safestrap or boot menu manager?

This reminds me of the HD2, you could run all kinds of OS on them. It would be great if we could dual boot WP8.1 and also Android.

Yes, I was hoping someone could create something similar to that for the M8 or maybe even port one of them to the M8. I'd LOVE to be able to dual boot AOSP and Sense ROM's or even Windows & Android in the future maybe.
Hopefully this works
I'd be interested - I've been wanting to play around with Cortana.
That didn't come out right...
I smell a bounty thread for dual booting coming.....

A safestrap compatible ROM would be perfect since it wouldn't touch the bootloader

Only thing I wonder about is the how different the partition structure might be. That might prevent a safestrap type solution.

Yeah...I remember reading something that the GPE ROMS alter the partition size so its not smooth coming back to a sense ROM etc after it...
But I'm all in for going dual boot if it happens. I'd actually would use Windows phone at work as it would integrate better and be more useful...then as soon as I leave for the day boot back into android.

True but even if twrp were to integrate slots like safestrap, it would be nice. Then all we'd need would be a port and I'm sure the port will be here with in the next few weeks.
Even if there wasn't a dual boot option, but just a way to flash W8 for a day, then restore back to Sense, I would be thrilled. I always wanted to play around on a Windows phone
