Guys. I recently exchanged my iPhone 5 for a droid DNA thru craigslist. I am coming to android after almost a year and I was hoping to root and install sense 5.0 roms. So after doing the swap at the verizon store and finally sitting in front of the computer to start the s-off and rooting process I discoverd after an hour of unsuccessful attempts that since I am running software version 2.0.65.xxx I won't be able to unlock or root. I got the phone with that software and from my past experience, just assumed that everything would work out.
Since there is quite of bit of topics and items involving this device, I just wanted to confirm my understanding that there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY to root the droid DNA if its running 2.0 version. Correct ?? No downgrading with an earlier RUU possible either. ... correct ?

At this point in time there is no way for you to root your device.

Thanks. That's what I thought. Also, since I am new here and haven't really been following the talks, is there any eta on the fix? Getting closer to a solution? No clue?

They have root exploits, but /system and the cid partition is write protected nothing can be done with it.

Does anybody know how long have we had the 2.0 software? Has it been unusually long to go without an unlocker procedure? I can't imagine xda devs not coming up with an exploit ever, but it could take a while I guess.

From what I heard they were stopping asking for beta testers, so that usually means they have enough people testing.
I couldn't wait and just bought another phone. It might be weeks or they might not be able to unlock full functionality.
They had to wait for HTC to release the source which is why its taking so long.

You said thru CLs? Restart the phone holding VOL down to boot into fastboot, what does it say at the top of the screen? tampered, unlocked, locked? If you are lucky maybe someone rooted and unlocked before the update. Just saying, if it was me I would check.
Someone wanted an Iphone? LOL
I *think* I remember reading one of the devs mentioning that new things were encrypted on the ota and that is causing some problems getting supercid. Since I read it really late at night when I was drowsy I cannot remember where I read it.

Bummer, hand my fingers crossed for Ya.
Well, what can I say..I got tired of the phone already.. gave it up.. went back to an iphone 5.. (I guess it's about time I changed my username..LOL)..
I really wanted to like the DNA.. but I can see HTC hasn't done much in the last 2 years with the OS. Too bad
p.s. Anyone who is wanting to buy my lightly used droid dna phone (along with box and case etc.) is welcome to ping me.

So, let me get this straight..... You were an Android buff, got tired of your android phone and dumped it all in three days?
It sounds like you didn't get tired of it, it seems like something much different.

Not 3 days. I am not new to android. I come from the line of OG droid and then droid incredible and then thunderbolt. I've actually written codes for various Roms before and also done quite a bit of theming. I just got to a point where I couldn't devote as much time to developing anymore. I had switched to the iPhone after the thunderbolt and found it refreshing and appealing to my engineering sensibilities. I recently came back to the android world via the droid DNA. Unfortunately it just doesn't click with me anymore. The gigantic screen, the unpolished OS and what a bummer it is to find out that even with a quad core processor, this phone lags and stutters at time. Don't get me wrong. I am not bashing android users. I just saying that the simplicity and refinement of iOS along with the practicality of a handy sized phone , just seems to suit me better.

Wizeguy highly recommends Nova launcher to get rid of the lag.
As far as liking one OS over another, it's personal preference and no one here will hate you for going to Apple. Maybe we'll see you back soon and you can do somethings for the DNA.

I have this issue where my phone screen will randomly become unresponsive. To get it back all I have to do is shut the screen off and back on and the it will accept my input. The menu, home, back, and search buttons will still work just the screen wont respont to me touching it. It may happen several time in a few minutes. Then again i might go a day it only happen once. I dont recall this happening on unrooted 2.2.2 but Im not 100% sure. It does do it 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 2.3.5, and it has done it on Liberty, Eclipse, and Molten. If anyone else has run into this problem and has a way to fix it i sure would appreciate the help.
I have the same issue. Its a deffective screen. No matter what rom you are ob it will be there. And if your is like mine it was there on 2.2.2 unrooted.
Answer to it is getting a referb. But what i learned on referbs from moto (i went through 6 razr2 in one 1 hr never left the verizon store. One worse then the other) so if thats all your worring about then id say put up with it you could get one thats even more of a pos.
Its only annoying to me when it acts up while im typing a long txt or playing a game other then that its two presses and a swipe and all better (and mine happens at least 6 times a day everyday) consider yourself lucky you could have my pos dx2.

Ok. Its not to bad I mean Ive kinda gotten use to it. Its just annoying as hell cause it always happens at the worst time.

If mine did that more then once I would be in with Verizon getting a replacement...not a refurb. No way would I deal with a unresponsive screen but mine is only a few weeks old. If you deal with them right you might get a new phone out of it. The in store employees have always treated me well.
Over the course of 6 months back when I had my Samsung Rogue they exchanged it for a new one 3 times until I got a new one. After about a month or so it would start to randomly reboot.

I could never get it to reboot in there so I would explain the issue and politely suggest that I should switch to a different carrier since I cant depend on my phone and it worked every time.
I might go up to the store and see what they will do. At the worst im still stuck with the phone till I upgrade.
This sounds like a defective screen. You should look into getting a replacement.

Shmooz them.with all the I love the network. Ut this screen just drives me nuts and blah blah. Then shmooz into you need a replacement cuz you've only had is x amount of days...then if they agree to it just bring up you know when I got this phone this other phone wasn't out and I would got that one. Instead of giving me a new one how about I just pay the difference with the upgrade cost like if I just upgraded now instead. I mean a sale is a sale and im just trying to have a good phone I don't trust this one not to brake again. Maybe throw in id hate to have to go to att or sprint for a good phone.

This phone is a replacement. My first x2 had an unfortunate accident at the river. This one wasn't stock for an hour before I was getting eclipse on it. So I was asking to be sure it couldn't be related to the things I had changed on my phone. If I had be certain of this yes I would have gone directly to Verizon.

One sure fire way to be certain is to sbf to stock. If the problem continues then you know its hardware related.

I have sbf multiple times since I've noticed it. It has done it every time, and every rom, even when i went and mixed and matched between a couple different roms. So from what I've heard it is deffinetly hardware related, which is why i asked. So to all of you who have helped me, a big thank you.
I've had this happen too. Not hardware related though. In my case it was caused by Launcher Pro. Switched to Go Launcher and haven't had a problem since. Might be something to look into if you use LP too.

Hi,
So as the title states i have 0 data [3G/LTE]..
Background:
This afternoon my rezound went dead and wouldn't charge.
So after 6 hours on the charger and no turning on my girlfriend came home with her rezound. i popped the battery in and it started right up except it wouldnt boot all of the way.
After a few tries i wiped and tried again. Still no go. So i wiped and went to flash a backup and sdcard wouldnt mount. After a few unsuccessful tries on device and computer i pressed reformat. That got the SD working.
I downloaded a few roms both ICS and GB wiped and installed. None will provide me mobile data. It sees wifi networks just fine.
My girlfriend has both LTE and 3G and i have full cell bars.
WTF!?

Well this sounds to me like a phone specific problem. I've heard of people's batteries going dead and not charging again, but I've never heard of no data before. If I were you I'd take it back to verzion. I heard they're offering people galaxy nexuses as replacement phones for people who have problems with their rezound!
Hope I helped!

IM not trolling I had a no data issue leaving work and was going to mention it. The only way I fixed it was a full reboot. Also after I rebooted I was stuck in cdma prl. Changed it to cdma/lte and it started working. The weird thing was it said data was on but no 1x 3g or 4g. Toggled everything and nothing helped cept the reboot.
Also atleast HTC doesn't make you wait for over a year for a barely updated version of the same thing and make you feel like you need it (Apple)

Wow. Well I'd just take it to a Verizon rep at one of their stores and see what they have to say because the battery problem is definitely a recurring problem with other rezound users. I don't know about the no data problem though. I've heard of people constantly dropping data, but I've never seen someone who doesn't have it at all.

For those that have either one of the following symptoms but is not limited to these:
1) longing for ics/miui v4
2) unable to shake the feeling of flashing something no matter what device the ROM is built for
3) guilt of flashing a new ROM with bugs knowing that your old one was perfect, similar feelings that are associated with post relationships
4) hiding the addiction of xda and ROM flashing by allowing spouses, significant others think that you may be cheating rather than meshing around on your phone
This is to be a release or getaway, there's to be no judgment or community punishment...mods are not a part of this protection...sorry.

Honestly some of my best flashing is while pooping, I wipe my ass and my phone at the same time. I hide the phone too, waiting until I hear the true sound of sleep and by then my 100 mb ROM is complete.
Is it just me or does anyone else hate the initial flashing of a miui ROM? There's no muffling that amplified ass bout audio and I always forget about it at 12am during the work week.
I may move this to the Android general, if I can.

And I've spent thousands of dollars going through nearly 50 phones and tablets in the last 3 years. My girlfriend doesn't quite understand the obsession.. And I'll be honest.. I don't understand it myself.. I just start thinking about shiny new designs.. Quad Core processors built on new architecture with die shrinkage.. Better camera hardware matching point and shoots matched with glorious software... And dozens of ROMS and kernels to sort through to find the perfect combination for my phone and I..

For a minute I thought that was normal, my sd card would fill up in a matter of minutes or hours depending on whether or not I was on 3g or wifi. I got better with my flashing as I told myself that aosp and miui are the only roms to flash...until sense 3.6 & 4.0 came out, along with 45 different ics aosp roms and now I'm sitting here licking my lips for some miui v4
Gene,
I know to a degree what you mean I have an Acer that works and I found a great combo and now it feels a little too complicated to upgrade so now I'm thinking about trading that sucker in for a nook tablet/color or a kindle fire...anything lighter and good development 7 or 10 inch tablet. I have no good reason a to why I'm trying to do this either.

Ok so I had only ever owned Samsung phones...I had the HTC one x and I hated how aggressive the multitasking was....so got the one today and I'm still noticing the issue even with the extra gig of ram....like xda for instance if I leave it open and go back it'll refresh...same with the web...I don't know if it's my imagination but personally I don't see a difference..and I have maybe like 4 programs open....btw is there a taskmanager I can use to clear ram?

Ugh. Not going to lie, this post worries me. I made my purchase based on the fact that with such a big deal it was on the HOX I figured reviews would mention it this time if it was a problem and no one had. It's what made me jump to the S3 at the time.

To be honest it has gotten better...it's an improvement over what the one x had but imo not as good as my gs3....I guess I was spoiled by the other phone ...but will say this phones build quality, screen and speakers are amazing...

So it seems that it only does this on internet connection apps right?
I know what your taking bout, this was the reason I took back the one x after a week and ended up with the S3. I did noticed it a bit when I played with the ONE at the store but not enough to not buy the phone.
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.

Does anyone know if flashing a custom ROM on the one x took care of this issue?
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.
I just flashed trickdroid....gunna try that out...I know on the one x vipers Rom helped...so maybe when more development comes along there will be better management...it's definitely better then the one x was tho the more I use it

Ok didn't help...have 8 windows open and came back to this thread which was in a saved state and it refreshed on me
Well mine arrives tomorrow. We'll see if it chases me away again. Hopefully it doesn't. I'm super excited for the phone but no matter how amazing the hardware if the software can't multitask properly I have to return it. I primarily read online and if my web pages keep reloading I'll just get annoyed.

If all else fails, you could setup the XPosed framework (requires Root) on your phone and use the App Settings module to force the browser to never close in the background (tick the Resident option I believe). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072081

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. I may not touch root or anything until my 15-30 days are up to return it though. I just remember how bad things were on the HOX. No matter the rom or tweak they could never get it fixed. It just drove me off the device eventually. Having a little pre-device buyers remorse at the moment but we'll see this afternoon! Thank you for the future reference though.

I myself am torn. This phone is so nice but oddly I'm not over excited about it for some reason....maybe I've stuck with Samsung's too long ...no but seriously the screen and speakers are phenomenal and sense 5 is very nice, tho I could do without the feed...does the buyers remorse start in the day of receiving the device correct?

So there is still no solution or workaround to gain true multitasking yet ? Surprised I havent heard anything about this in video reviews so far.

Well from what Ive read on the international forums people say the multitasking is good one this phone...like I've said I've only ever owned samsungs and this is my second attempt at an HTC phone...so my opinions may be biased so to speak...but from my experience multitasking on my gs3 worked much better then the htcs I've tried...again use it own opinions on it...I'm not knocking HTC at all...I like both companies...

So to you lucky bastards that already have the ONE what's the verdict on multitasking? Are the web apps still reloading when clicked on? This is the reason I took the ONE X back too
Flash much?
I think it only refreshes if it falls off the multitasking screen.
Never mind. It's as bad as the hox for browsing.

So u notice it too? Mines seems very selective...some times I can have xda open to a post...do something else...come back and it's fine...others it refreshes and bump me back to the main page...also (not sure if it's a Netflix thing) but if I pause a video and come back it'll return me to the main screen as well...is there a task manager where I can free up some ram?
I really want to love this phone it's so nice ....I hate to say it through not too crazy bout the camera quality....

This scares me about the phone. I was about to pick it up tomorrow but now I am second guessing myself. I really did hate the HOX multitasking. Where I work the Internet is slow, I don't want to have to wait for all the reloads.

Yeah. It's no where near the Galaxy S or Note lines. I don't really know why HTC cripples it to be honest. It's not bad, but it's not good. I mean, a lot of us don't swap out batteries. If HTC is going to cripple multitasking and memory management to improve battery life they should follow their own "studies" that most people don't use extra batteries and just keep it normal.
Yeah I'd rather have to charge it then have my phone refreshing all the time.

Well I either gotta deal the phone or sell it didn't realize I coukdnt bring it back to stock to return it once it was unlocked
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yeah I honestly am probably not going to root or unlock this one. I don't mind it stock to be honest. And it seems to cause more trouble than it's worth.
Im just getting a poll. I might start developing roms for this again. Just post in the comments if i should. :laugh:

I do. Running Eclipse 2.3
I just got one today.

I use it on occasion. Not often enough for you to make a ROM just for me though.

a developer comes back now???i just ditched my poor x2 for a gnex :/
Yep! My daily phone since my Droid Inc 4G broke. Don't think I'm getting another HTC phone but that's beside the point. I'm using the Jelly Bean ALPHA CM 10 rom. It's extremely buggy. Usable, but extremely buggy.
Motorola Droid X2
Just got one for my wife on straight talk , running eclipse v 2.3
Just got 2 of them from my parents.
Upgraded the wife and myself from our OG Dinc's
Unfortunately it seems the Incredibles were better phones.
Even after rooting, running Eclipse, debloating and running V6 Supercharger.....these are the laggiest pieces of crap ever...
My wife says if she ever needed to call 911 she'd get on her computer.....go to the verizon website.....deactivate the DX2....re-activate the Dinc and make the 911 call on that....it'd be faster than trying to dial on the DX2....
But hey - the larger screen is nice....
Dan
better idea..
Or, instead of developing for this phone your self you could teach me how to develop ROM's for android and I could do it myself! :laugh:
I have newer devices for work, but I still use my dx2 as my personal phone.
Heck Yeah!

My DX2 rocks. CM7 if very fast...only 2 real issues are wifi dropping out sometimes and dialer lagging when dialing out a bit... Still a solid phone.
Yes...do it for Tracfone Users
This phone is getting a lot of interest as an eligible BYOP alternative for Tracfone Android users. It would be great if someone could help folks like me find a decent, cheap phone that would work for this network.
Is the phone really as slow and doggy as some have mentioned?
Tracfone BYOP requires a non-LTE CDMA phone...users are looking for larger than 3.5 inch screen with more than single core 1Gb processor...any suggestions?
My X2 is still in use. Running Eclipse and working great.
That is exactly why I bought my dx2, except for straight talk byop. I've found eclipse to be the most stable and feature inclusive ROM so far, and am really enjoying this phone even if it doesn't have ics, jb, or kk. Especially like that it's on Verizon - best coverage hands down in my neck of the woods.

I am also running eclipse on my x2, no issues except my RAM gets pretty low sometimes

yep, daily
Yes, using this phone daily. Just flashed it for the first time with eclipse 2.3 last night and I'm happy with the functionality so far.was hoping to see an improvement with battery life, and fix some issues I had with stick, and so far so good.
I am still using the X2 with Eclipse ROM. It does seem to be slowing down though so I'll probably need to reset it.

Where would be a good jumping off point for this phone? I have a friend who's stuck with it, and I've tried a few of the root guides but there's missing files, bad redirects, and just generally dated info. I just want to root it and probably put a slim rom, and by your review I'll probably go with Eclipse. I tried the zerg root but it threw an error that the phone was write protected. All help is greatly appreciated

I use Pete's Motorola root tools for Droid 3 and it worked for my X2. At work right now. If you can't find it, I will upload a link when I get home in 6hrs
