My wife has the above A1-830, it worked for years with little problem after rooting. Fast forward a few months and due to life/career changes, it gets put away for a while. I brought it out a few months ago to give it a top up charge before putting it away and it still worked fine. I go to bring...

5.3.1 installed once I made sure I had enough time to sit down and look at it without interruption. Updates are blocked, device is rooted. I definitely like the UI improvements over 4.x. It doesn't feel laggy at all, and that is with a LOT of things installed on it.

They are still there, alas dropbox has made it so I need to hand out a pseudo link to each individual file rather than the "generic" linking I previously did, blah blah blah mandatory increase in security, blah blah blah. I was honestly wondering how long it was going to be until I was asked to...

Thank you very much for this. It has been a LONG time since my HD6 worked, at least 11 months. I'm not too sure, but from memory I think i decided to upgrade from 4.5.5 to 5.x and then put it on the charger to top it off before completing the process. When I came back to it, it was booting to...

Damn, I'm sorry to say that I'm unsure if i'll be able to help much or at all. All i can suggest is look and see if there is any pre-boot subsystem that connects to your pc via usb, similar to the mediatek "preboot mt65xx" which can sort of provide a last gasp chance of recovery.

This worked for me on a HD6 / 5.5.1. I had downloaded and installed the latest version of kingroot and this wasn't able to remove it after doing an attempt at pushing supersu. As soon as i uninstalled the downloaded version and did it all through this script it worked perfectly, first try...

This problem started up on my 2012 nexus after I replaced a faulty USB sub-assembly. It used to be annoying yet tolerable, but had been getting progressively worse as time went on. Miraculously this has proven to be the repair that was needed. Thank you, it makes perfect sense why it fixed it...

Thanks, but still it doesn't sit very well with me that these deceptive practices are so common with advertising. I wouldn't be surprised if it was even worse now that it's 2+ years on.

There is aa ROM listed in the second post of this thread. 4.2.2, 4.4.2. I couldn't get this patch to work, but the authors previous patch in the link I just gave worked for me.

My wifes one previously had kingroot installed. It got a bit flaky after me installing an OTA update against my better judgment and totally screwed permissions on the root volume to the point that I just couldn't root it regardless of the method I attempted (kingroot, oneclickroot, root genius...

I didn't have any luck doing it this way. I ended up getting there by a slightly different avenue. My s7e was totally non functional beyong fastboot and recovery mode being operational. I ended up downloading tegratools 2.2. Using the fastboot included in that I unlocked my boot loader with...

It seems a bit intermittent. If it fails at first, try again in five or so minutes.. I had exactly the same problem myself.

The only problems I have encountered so far with the latest version of this rom for HTC one (m7) are as follows; 1) data management applications seem hit and miss, as in they aren't easily able to turn data on and off when applications start (an example of this is "power guard pro", though I'm...

I've rooted my Nabi Jr, I used the installation of pdanet+ as suggested here to get the correct drivers installed on my pc. I then tested using the manual temporary recovery and that worked just fine, so I then pushed it permanently. It also initiated rooting the fuhu jr upon exit, completing...

Yes, but as I bought a grey import phone Knox' & Samsung's opinion on warranty isn't a massive concern to me. the opinion of the importer matters a whole lot more. If it turns into a physical defect then I'm sure they'll help (though I hope it never gets that far). Software wise I should be OK...
