Oh, it was no problem really - I didn't know what I was doing in "phone" terms, but from a computer perspective, no problem at all. As you say, simple instructions :D Cheers again

Well, that was an adventure for me :cyclops: but I got there thanks to you. I had no idea phones could lose their O/S by being discharged for a long time. I'll charge it up from time to time in future! Thanks again :cool:

Yeah… sorry, I’m aware how unhelpful my post is. Unfortunately, it was a while ago now, life went tits up for quite a while, and the phone lay in a drawer, being a very low priority. I used to take it out occasionally and charge it up – it started normally. The other day, I realised I hadn’t...

Me again, sorry… shortly after that post, I dropped the thing and broke the screen. For one reason or another, I ended up getting a Samsung S6, which I’m quite happy with. But I want to use the HTC as a spare/emergency phone – trouble is I can’t remember what I’ve done to it, apart from...

Yeah... it doesn't fill me with confidence. I'm sure I'd do exactly as you if it was rooted. I'll probably do it with several different backup apps, and hope that one of them will do it :eek::eek::eek:

Woo hoo! Got my unlock code. Now time for some more studying before I do anything drastic - specifically how to back up. I think the HTC Sync Manager will handle most of it? My contacts are all on Google anyway... main worry is 2 years' progress on various King games :eek:

Wahay! That worked fine, thanks both. Hope you can appreciate, though, how scary it can be for somebody like me following instructions I don't really understand, when the expected thing doesn't happen – visions of bricks keep coming into my mind :eek: OK, will practice these steps a few times...

Hhmmm, not getting very far with that procedure. Difficulties so far: - Enable USB debugging in your phone's Developer options - DONE - Un-check "Fast boot" on your phone by going to Settings -> Battery Manager – NO SUCH OPTION - Install ADB and Fastboot on your computer - DONE - Make sure to...

Thanks guys, kind of you to go to so much trouble to explain for me. Wish I had two phone,s then I could play around messing one up... will read a bit more, then give it a go in a day or two I think. But just to clarify again, can I give myself the rights to remove stock bloatware, while...

In my defence, m’lud, I spent about 6 hours yesterday reading through a great many threads before posting this one. It’s amazing how hard it can be to pick up a slightly unfamiliar technology when it’s not the one you're used to… I spent the latter half of my life in IT (Windows), but really...
