This is probably a dumb question but I rooted my M8 and now want to do my friends Razr M. The question is can you have two sets of drivers loaded one for HTC and one for Motorola without messing anything up. Thanks in advance

Yes.
Nice to help your buddy out just be clear about tech support later. I did a buddy's phone a couple years ago and when he got a new phone I told him to leave it stock

Sadly, I just bricked my phone.
I tried to do a flash update (forum_xda-developers_com/showthread_php?t=785201; replace _ with .), and it just went off and died.
3 button combo not working.
ADB, Odin and Keis not working.
I've been searching the web for 5 hours for a solution, with no luck...
I just had it for one lousy day!
I bought it abroad and now I have no idea what to do next.
Any ideas?
Buy a new one

That's a real crappy response to a guy who bricked a perfectly good phone. I hope you brick yours so I can tell you to go buy a new one, too.

As mean as that sounded its about the only thing left for him to do, and is no reason for you to wish something like that an someone.
This is a community, lets keep it a peaceful one.
Why buy a new one?
I sent it to Samsung in Germany yesterday. Hopefully hey will fix it soon.
I did a similar thing the other week. i called samsug and told them exactly what happened. some french guy asked me what i meant by bricked and i told him i messed upp while installing a cutsom rom. he then asked me what company i was a part of "what kind of customer were you dealing with on the phone?"
after fighting with them for a while I called my even dumber carrier. i fought with them that it was in no way a bettery problem for about ten minutes where i gave up and told them i was following the "take out the battery" instructions. he then told me to go to a bell store and try one of thier test bateries,
to make a long story short they said as long as there is no water or physical damage they will fix the phone for free. apperently in canada they dont have a hacked phone problem

What he said!
Hello all. I got my HTC One X today. When I first started it up there was an initial setup. A part came on that told me to do something on my computer. I didnt have my laptop with me so I couldnt, so I just skipped it. Im now at home and have access to my computers and want to repeat that. Does anything know how or if I can do that. I dont even know if that step was important or what it did.
Any help is appreciated.

In the app drawer. Find att ready to go. I think that may be what you are looking for.

It's not really important at all. If you've set up an Android phone before, the HOX is no different.
Thanks guys. Didnt realize that was what that app was for. I started it and cancelled it. Just like stnguyen09 said, not important. Im guessing its for those who are completely new to Android.
Hey guys, not new to the forums, but just coming back. I have been using an Iphone for the last year or so, and after I upgraded and was unable to jailbreak it (untethered at least), I couldn't take it anymore. I went on to swappa and found what I felt like was a great deal on a brand new HTC One S for $310. I have a question now though. I have been trying out Straight Talk for about a month, and I really have no complaints since much of my data use is over wifi. However, how do I unlock the HTC One S for TMobile so that I can use it with my ATT Straight Talk sim? I'm not even sure I will have to, but it should be here tomorrow and I would like to be prepared. I thought I read you could do this by rooting the phone, but like I said, I haven't been using Android for over a year now so I just wanted to ask the experts. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey there... It's pretty easy. I'm not a noob anymore but im not very advanced either. With that said see the two links I'm attaching.
First root your phone with the one touch tool. It's pretty easy. If you have a mac, run vmware or parallels to do it on windows-that's what I did.
Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24973565
Then follow the instructions in this post to unlock your phone so you can use your non tmo sim card:

Hope it works for you. I'd appreciate it if you would hit the thanks if I helped you out.

Hey guys,
I just received a TMobile HTC S One today to replace my Iphone. I want to use it with straight talk, but I need to root the phone to unlock it first. I've been following the instructions I was pointed to here on the site, and when I got to the following step, I got stuck:
Type this into your command prompt window fastboot oem get_identifier_token
All my CMD prompt box is saying is < waiting for device >
I'm getting no lines of info like the tutorial says I should. I'm kinda nervous because I have my phone powered on and plug into the computer on that white fastboot use screen with teh android guys on skateboards at the bottom. Can anyone help? I really hope I didn't mess up a phone I just spent over $300 on. I'll be here waiting if anyone can give me a hand. Much appreciated.

I think so...weren't they in one of the real files I was told to install at the beginning of that thread?
I don't think you have done any damage to you phone. If adb cannot see it or can't send any data. Which guide are you following?

I was following this guide, and then I tried using the software too and had the same problem, at the same step. I did a factory restore from my bootloader screen to get out of that first jam.

Make sure USB debbuging is ON and fastboot is OFF (in settings on your phone). Also, make sure you are using a decent data USB cord (some are only for power, and won't transfer data..that was my problem when I got the same "waiting" screen). Also, try using different USB ports on your computer. Don't know why exactly, but sometimes that helps.

The debugging was the problem with the root. Thanks a bunch for that help. Now however I can't seem to unlock my phone from TMobile. I tried everything in the previously mentioned thread, but I keep getting no strings errors. Anyone have any advice?
Nothing worse than having a brand new phone that you can't even use the second day you have it. Man this sucks.

I know i'm sure its been asked before in some way or another,
But to be fair I did some research, and haven't quite come up with an answer that has solved my problem.
So I rooted my AT&T HOX 2.20 today, felt great after I successively rooted my phone, bragged to my GF about how smart I am (not really =/ haha)
Was looking through some custom ROMs and what not, and which works best for myself. I ended up choosing this one below.
onexroot.com/one-x-roms/icecoldjelly-aokp-rom-for-rooted-one-x-android-4-1-2
My recovery is TWRP 2.3.1.0 I believe. At least thats what my .Img file is.. (openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img)
So I installed this ROM by TWRP, did the whole clear cache etc - I DID MAKE A BACKUP of my stock ROM (all caps because I think its important?)
SOOOOO I believe the problem is I missed a step...
I wasn't thinking I guess... and maybe rushed it a little...
But I didnt flash the boot.img file... I now understand HOW... but my phone wont turn on.
I tried holding the power and volume down rocker to put it into recover but nothing happens. No flashing LED's... nothing.
So I know im going to get flamed for being a "noob" but honestly.. this is my first android phone (slow adopter? ) and I really did enjoy it... Would love to have it back. Any and all assistance will be thanked, and hopefully passed on if anyone else has my specific problem.
Cheers gents.:good:

The options depend on who you got it from or if you have insurance or if you want to be honest and call htc.

Yeah.. I'm not lookin into defrauding anyone..
I'll shoot HTC an email and see maybe if theirs anything they can do on their end..
If not, my stupid mistake.
Wish this guy made it a little more clear for us noobs that the ROM was for international versions only =/
Oh well..
Call HTC they are ok sometimes it's free or $100 something depending on if the rep feels sorry for you or respects your honesty

So.. Funny enough... When I bought my phone from the AT&T store... the somehow mixed it up and gave me the one XL (from Australia)
So AT&T is gettin me a new one for free... ?
I called HTC to get them to repair it (with me paying of course, i admitted to rooting my device)
Then she asked for my IEME number or what have you... which I gave her and she said its a ONE XL not one X.. haha
So all in all... new phone cause of AT&T's screw up? win?
I thought AT&T only carried the one xl.. and not the international one x.

Did it have the att logo or the htc logo? No big deal either way, these phones are nothing to them, they just want you to keep paying them that fat monthly bill. I'm sure it had the att logo on the screen, the att box, and the att bloat too.
Sent from my HTC One XL
hello
Yep,
One X box, bloat ware, and AT&T logo.
I explained to the AT&T rep that I ROOTED my phone... he said well thats not the problem.
The problem is they sold me something that was not intended to be used in the US so they are going to replace it
Caught a lucky break!
Well att calls it the one x but in all reality its the one xl...the "l' indicates LTE...att just doesn't like putting down but hmm ok just be happy you got off easy!
Hey guys,
I tried searching for an answer but I can't seen to find one. Why is there close to zero development for this device? I read something about a new kernel coming soon but noone really went into detail..
I came from the HTC One M8 so my expectations were pretty high :crying:
Can someone clear this up for me?
Phone is newly released and not rootable with locked bootloader. Not even sure kernel sources have been released yet.

It's been out a couple of days; it's been rooted already but not in a way which lets you save the DRM stuff so you currently lose functionality forever if you do so. I'm sure it'll come with time.
