Sorry that I am a noob, but I have been reading threads for a couple hours and haven't found a source that will answer my question.
What is the easiest way to get JB on my HOX?
I have ran into some that seem easy but only to find that I need a CID of HTC_xxx where mine is CWS_001. After a post directing me to this forum I have continued to try to find something to help me get JB and no luck. If there is a post that describes this please reply with it, or if anyone would be kind enough to post directions on how to do this that would be greatly appreciated.
Again, sorry that I am a noob at this, first Android phone, switched from iOS after Apple's disappointing "new phone", aka iPhone 4s with an extra row of icons.
Thanks!

First, you can use this tool to easily root your phone, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426), then flash any JB ROM you like and just follow the instructions.

Thank you! I will use this to root my phone. Where might I find a JB ROM for my CID? Maybe I am missing something but that's where I run into the most difficulty.
Thank you again for your quick help!

You have to change your CID from the AT&T default before you can unlock anyway. Once you do that, it doesn't matter anymore.

The CID will be changed to 1111111 before you can unlock your phone and then root, so don't worry about that. Happy flashing!

Ok...all these noobs getting the phone for free are now pissing me off completely. If you want to overcome being a noob, you have to put in time to read and search. DO NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION AT HAND
Being a noob means you should have at least watched the noob video when signing up. If you did not you broke the first rule of XDA and you need to watch it. If you did watch it(which I suspect you did not) you would know to search and read before posting. The community is here to answer questions we all have, but not questions that have been answered over and over again. Nor to spoon feed you.
oh ****...i know whats going to happen after he gets it rooted.......Don't you?? i see a brick coming up from attempting to flash the EVO OTA.
zac507, there is no official jb sense for our phone. someone should of stated that in the first reply shame on ALL of you. if you read his OP you would see he already tried flashing the endeavoru jb rom which is why he got the CID error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044729
Here are GREAT guides for noobs basically from start to finish here. When I was first starting I made a Q&A thread ONLY after reading enough to where I was confused and not confident in going forward without consulting others.....The key here is that you need to read and understand what you are doing first before you ask for help otherwise what good is the help?
Anyways, good luck reading and hopefully everything goes well

So what does this mean for him? How can you flash a endeavoru jb rom without being unlocked and rooted?

Thank you to everyone (except Chef). I will continue to read and do research before rooting or flashing my phone.
Chef, I have read through the forums quite a lot, asked others who have flashed other Android devices and watched many video tutorials on the subject. But before doing anything I wanted to ask a specific question that I did not see in the forums to get a clear and concise answer. Since I PAID for my phone, I do not want to brick it, hence my thread. I suggest you pull your over-inflated tech ego out of your swollen rear and learn to read. I said I was a noob at this. Noobs have questions. People on forums answer questions to help them. You, on the other hand, just act like a prick and contribute nothing to the thread. Thanks for absolutely no helpful information, please stop posting on any forum if this is how you do it.
Again, thank you to everyone else who replied. You were very helpful!

Where do I begin to correct this post?
First, let's start with the fact that you asked "what is the easiest way to get JB on HOX?" Well assuming you read, and searched and etc. you wouldn't need to ask that question considering you would have had the answer already because you in fact read and you would know that you can flash countless JB roms if bootloader unlocked and rooted.
My over inflated tech ego must have got in the way though. Even though you asked a question which is so similar to all the other JB related questions asked on this forum.
Obviously you need to continue to read(skimming and reading are different) considering the fact that you try to run an international RUU on your phone...
I was looking out for your best interest, if you want to take it to a personal level and call me a prick so be it, but I sure hope I help ingrained the fact that you need to read more before tinkering.
I think my rear is swollen I should go lay down
Zac, if you have any trouble or need help I for one would be willing to help, sent you a pm so we don't offend anyone else in here.

guys, its probably very off topic question, but I will have my HOX this friday,
we have JB over 4.2.1 over there, but we are currently in war with SOD because of google lol

my question is
isnt the current stock from HOX cool enough?

Where the heck is "over there"? I assume some other device.
If somebody with 400+ posts on here doesn't get the purpose of custom ROMs, what the heck have you been doing here all this time?
Hi guys, has any of our great developpers already tried to port Firefox OS or Sailfish OS on our beloved device ?
Is it even possible ?
Thanks for replying and for all the work done for everybody

I've given up on helping in the DS forums due to the insane decision by our Moderators to lock the Off-Topic thread which kept us all here. However ...
Have you searched the Dev forum? Can you find a ROM with either of those OSs? Does that answer your question?
why not doing it yourself https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Porting

How about you read my previous reply and stop ask pointless questions?
WTF is wrong with some people? :banghead:
Wow, how about not being unbelievably rude? It could possibly be that the devs are in the process of porting the OS, but haven't started a thread, etc.
I'm not trying to be rude, and I understand that not many people use the search function, but then it's best not to reply, instead of upsetting yourself.

Sure, and I will tell you more - I still consider myself a newbie. I admit it, and it doesnt offend me. I will never know, or be able to do a fraction of what some people here are capable of, and I am grateful for all this knowledge being shared with everyone. I still try my best to contribute to the community in some ways I can (being just a user, not a dev in any capacity). I dare you: search my posts on XDA, and if you find something as ridiculous as this request, I will publically apologize for being a hypocritic jerk. You already responded to the OP, and his reaction was, basically: "blah, blah, I don't get any of that **** you are talking about, and I don't care, anyway, just give me files, dude". In my books, this is ignorance AND arrogance.
Oh well, enough ranting, anyway...

I see tons of youtube videos but there is a high chance of those beeing outdated. I have a g955f model so im mainly looking for a detailed guide on installing twrp and magisk with all the latest links to everything i need for the rooting process.A guide will probably help me from bricking if i dont know what im doing halfway through.
Try searching here. There's already a guide and a thread about this.

No. Search for it. Theres a search box on the forums. Not trying to be a jerk, but forum rules state you are to search before asking a question. And, honestly, if searching for a thread is too much for you, the rooting process may also be too much for you.

Asking for someone to write you a detailed guide when a whole thread exists regarding your question is asking to be spoon fed. Follow XDA rules, use the search bar, and do your own research.
Its selfish to ask someone else to do all the work for you, if you're not willing to put in the time to search and read the pre-existing thread.

Sorry to jump in here but the guys right, there is a search button and two rooting guides for both versions of the device on here all you have to do is search. . .
The Devs of these methods provide concise instructions for you to follow and apply to your device, its all done at YOUR own risk, Im sure he'd be very happy to help you if you get stuck and you PM'ed him but considering you've not even bothered to read the thread for rooting your specific device is enough to know not to get involved as other users wont appreciate being hounded because you've buggered something up.
people who have been rooting devices for several years will tell you all about the time spent getting the files and installing the correct drivers and software to achieve this and still be met by boot loops and or bricked devices that require RMA's back to specific OEMs or days spent in limbo trying to resurrect their devices.
As he already stated if you can't search and read through a thread that is rammed with tips and instructions rooting is possibly not worth the risk for you and your device
its always worth typing this into google "root samsung s8+ exynos xda"

If you can't find a root guide then i don't think you'll be able to follow it either...
In time it took to write all the messages in this thread, you could have rooted the device 3 times over

I rooted the day i wrote this actually,i used a youtube video which supprisingly worked with no issues.I just was curious if a written guide like 3ds.guide existed is all which doesnt.
Its been awhile since I had my Pixel rooted so I just rooted again,but had a couple of questions to verify before I move forward with what i want to do. Right now I got 8.1 rooted on my phone,on Slot A. I was wanting to flash a custom ROM and seen that if you are currently on Slot A, when you flash the new rom, it will flash to the B slot, is this true? Also, if I do this, could I keep my current 8.1 rooted on my Slot A, and use the Custom on the Slot B,kind of like dual booting? I do know with the custom I got to get the Gapps on the opposite slot(right?), so how would that work? I know I can google some of this but havent found a clear answer and want to make sure before I proceed. The Custom I want to use is either Havoc (which I have tried and it failed) or Lineage OS. Thanks
No one,really? Almost 30 people have looked at this and nothing? Not trying to be pushy but just looking for some advice. Not going to Google it and follow anyone so that's why I'm asking here,for expert advice.Ill figure it out on my own I guess.

OK. These forums are not to spoonfeed you. All of the questions you asked in the paragraph above have been answered across the Pixel forums multiple times. Perhaps a bit of googling would do some good.
We should pin how to install on the top of the roms page
