Hi there i'm new to the forum.
it's great one with a lot of helpful guys
i need experts help please.
My phone is HTC one XL EVA_UTL Saudi Arabia middle east Edition.
My android version is 4.1.1 and it must be updated to 4.2.2 years ago but i didn't get the update i don't know why.and my HTC keyboard does not support Arabic language.
I need help to root this phone and install newer custom rom and i really need to add Arabic language to my HTC keyboard it looks more cool than Google keyboard.
could you help me please ?
You can unlock your bootloader at htcdev, you can install TWRP recovery, you can flash SuperSU to get root. But, you can't flash any newer ROMs because those ROMs require updated firmware and the updated firmware from the standard Evita is not compatible with the Evita_utl and will brick it. Essentially, you're stuck.

I don't know about the keyboard so I can't answer that. The first thing you need to do is go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader. Then you can follow the instructions in my guide thread to install TWRP recovery and flash SuperSU.

Hi all
Anyone know if we need the bootloader unlocked if we already have S-Off? I have flashed a few ROMs already and was wondering if I would need to go unlock my bootloader to gain more customization options. Can we change kernels and overclock with a locked bootloader?

Hi,
You don't need to unlock bootloader via HTCDEV if you already S-OFF.
If you are S Off, just flash firmware from the user friendly firmware thread.
You'll have an ENG Hboot that says Revolutionary instead of Locked.
So, I rooted and gained s-off but haven't unlocked my bootloader through the HTC site. It sounds like I don't need to do this and can do everything I could on my rooted device right?
correct me if im wrong and 10x 4 ur helps

Yes, an ENG Hboot is better than an Unlocked Hboot.
You can do all & more than a Unlocked Hboot can with an ENG Hboot.

If it's official, then your Hboot is locked.

Hello Everyone,
I just received a notification that a new software update is available for my HTC Chacha here in India: 1.57.720.3
I am currently on 1.57.720.1 and have unlocked and rooted the device (no custom rom installed)
I have a question:
If I update to this version, will I have to root my phone again? If not, then what is the benefit to update to this version??
Should I update?? I don`t want to lose my root ability.
Don't update, you will have to re root. If I were you I would get cm7 or cm9 they run very well and are much better than the stock ROM

Tried what?
Those listed there on htcdev are NOT ROMs. Those are kernels. You download those and then get the android source code from google, then build android for yourself using those kernels. Which should be for ICS but it has been discussed in the dev section and they seem to be for GB.
Further more, I have compared the 4.0 India and the 2.3 India and only 3 GPIO files have been modified. So it's GB kernel with 4 more lines of code.
So Alex C.
1. this is not ICS?
2. Will i get it stable on my chacha!!

I would suggest following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159 to update your firmware then flashing a 4.4.3 ROM or if you want the full, stock, update, follow these instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ent/ruu-m8vzw-4-4-3-s-off-onlynewest-t2873144
you should be S-off first, of course

S-Off using Firewater (might not work) OR Sunshine (should work but costs $25) http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...rning-discussion-4-4-3-root-unlock-s-t2874365

The update is being sent over the verizon phone networks wireless system.
Since you are not in a country that has verizon wireless you do not have access to the update direct from the phone issuer and will have to use alternative means.
You can try "weaksuace / Firewater combo" but this method seems to only work with the first batch of M8 sold by verizon.
You can try "Sunshine" which is a paid app that will unlock and S-off your phone, success rate to my knowledge is 100%
After successfully completing one of the above you will need to comeback and read the M8 Dev section thread for installing the new firmware, then read the section for installing Stock Rooted 4.4.3 rom or whatever 4.4.3 based rom you like.
Just remember all 4.4.3 based roms require the updated firmware first.
Weaksauce / Firewater combo and Sunshine alternatives were developed by the same dev, you find his directions, discussions and links to his tools and app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699091
Hi guys,
I need your help!
I purchased this device with already installed TWRP and superSU.
In attached image you can see the actual situation:
This is my first Android device and therefore are not very skilled.
What is the best (and easiest) to restore it as it was originally?
Looking in the forum I found WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit, may be useful in my case?
My os is
1.05.401.1
Im m8sx user
Yours is 1.06.401.1
Try to flash my stock recovery so you can update your phone when OTA is available

But I think that if I can't recovery for my OS, it will be better to wait OTA update and use recovery.img
Hope OTA will arrive soon :fingers-crossed:

Try to flash recovery stock via fastboot, and unroot your device from supersu app. Bootloader lock/unlock is indifferent for ota update. You will need a stock rom with stock recovery and unroot device..

If this is a vzw m8 then you will need to use sunshine to unlock the bootloader (and turn s-off) to root or install custom roms.

You cannot downgrade while s-on. Once s-off you can flash whatever you want as long as it's compatible with your phone.
