I'm gonna have to change it out today.

 

BT doesn't work

Camcorder doesn't work

Signal bars show low to none signal even when there is one.

Data is still wonky. Says there is data but no connection. Needs a reboot to fix

Exchange not working. Need it for my work email.

 

Nice rom but I need working everything. Bummer. Was nice to play with 4.2.2 for a bit.

[symbiontsoul]

yeah I can't go with AOSP until those things get fixed

[Sabres032]

From the sounds of it, the reason it was taking so long is they were trying to automate it a bit as well.  Did you ever do the Bionic one?

 

No. Between the two jobs and the volunteer fire department, I just couldn't find the time to sit down and read up on Linux. Anyway I just sold the Bionic to a Moot community member so maybe he will root it.. 

 

I did not realize how delicate the DNA screen was.  I scratched mine with my fingernail !

 

 

Yep. I thought there was something on the screen so I used my nail to scrap it and I'll be darned if I didn't scratch it in two places. It was cheese on there, so I am pretty sure that wasn't it..... BTW, don't ask.....

 

Do you buy cheese made of Iron or Steel?

YaY Moonshine works

[Dave12308]

I am lost.  I ran moonshine.  My bootloader says S-off, but nowhere does it say unlocked.

 

I run it through HTCdev and it tells me my MIN is not allowed.

 

Is my bootloader unlocked, or not?

 

If not, how do I unlock it?

[Memnoch73]

I haven't looked into Moonshine yet sorry I can't answer your question Dave...

 

 

To those wanting to try an AOSP rom be warned not only about my issues posted above but it also moves all your SD card files to a new 0 folder. When I went back to a Sense Rom I had to transfer ALL those files back to the root of the SD card. It was a major freakin pain and took forever. Of course I had to do it because our SD card is small and you need all the room you can get.

 

That said Viper and Nos Sense 5 are killer roms

[Sabres032]

If I were to figure out Linux and if I rooted my DNA with the Moonshine, will I be able to uninstall the bloatware on the stock OS? I need something to motivate me....

Well, considering I stayed up literally all night messing with ROMs and kernels, i'd say my answer is Yes, I have S-off and apparently can do anything I want.  I guess the CID unlock thing I was confused about is if you want to run it on a GSM carrier.  I am under the impression that S-off is like God mode, as there's nothing it hasn't let me do so far.

You could even back it up and install a pre-debloated version of the stock OS.  The motivation is "do it now before HTC updates the OS and blocks the exploit"

[Dave12308]

BTW I absolutely HATE Sense 5.

 

WHY did they do away with lockscreen weather animations, and why am I forced to have a social network home screen?

By the way, you're not rooting it with Moonshine, root is part of the process but you are completely turning security off.  You're essentially turning it into a "dev edition"

Well I have of this coming weekend, might need to pick your brain a little before I take the dive.

Step 1 - download Ubuntu 13.04 desktop and follow instructions for creating either a live USB or a live CD/DVD

Step 2 - boot from said USB or CD/DVD

Step 3 - open Firefox, go to

Step 4 - follow directions there to get correct file, Firefox automatically downloads it to ~/Downloads

Step 5 - plug phone in, extract file, and type sudo ./distiller

Step 6 - wait for it to finish, profit.  Unplug phone and reboot into Windows.  Congrats, you are now S-off

 

ZERO Linux experience required, as 13.04 seems to have all the necessary USB stuff to connect to the device.

[Dave12308]

And i'm the guy who gets nervous if I have to do ANYTHING with my phone in Linux.

[Sabres032]

Seems easy enough but I still want to (as Sam would put it) read, read and read again.

My biggest question, does linux run over windows or separate and am I able to connect to a wireless network or do I have to hard connect?

[EmericanX]

The easiest way for those that do not run linux would to be run Ubuntu via live Usb so it would be running separate from windows.

All depends on the machine you're booting linux on. As with every OS they will not have every driver for every variety of hardware but Ubuntu does a pretty good job on covering the basics.

I was reading up on Ubuntu and it does sound fairly easy. I'm working the next five days so I won't have time to play until next weekend.

One of the steps on beaups OP says firmware must be updated to 2.06

You MUST upgrade to 2.06 fw first. To do this, download 2.06 firmware here.

After checking my software version it says it's 2.06.605.1 710RD. See attached pic. Is this the same firmware? Yea I know, noob question but I want all my ducks in a row first before moonshining this beast.
