So, the first Casio Commando G'zOne was a very tough phone. Came stock with Gingerbread 2.3 and no recovery, only a hard reset option. Surprisingly it was quite popular.
Now, the new Casio Commando G'zOne 4G LTE is available stock with ICS 4.0 and will be attracting many consumers. Unfortunately, I don't know if it has it's own recovery or not.
Wanted to know if anyone has got one and if it has it's own recovery or not (aside from the stock hard reset option).
Also, any devs looking into creating a custom ROM for this device? I'd be highly interested in any information on a custom ROM for this device! Thanks!!

I'm using one right now. There is no button combination to get into recovery. However if you do get into recovery via commands or toolkit you cant navigate to any options.

Well snap, I was anxious to see some custom ROMs for the device.
I did I quick Google search and found some links to people fining a way to root but since they cant navigate in recovery they cant load a ROM. Maybe someone can flash a recovery with fastboot or adb.

I found a root method on another forum. If rules allow I can link them here. I'm looking at getting the commando 4g too. I root all my phones so searched endlessly. However the phone has few threads. Since most devs have high end phones like Galaxy S4 and Note 2 etc.

Just saw this phone on the VZW site and droooooooled. I'm in construction, so the rugged phone appeals to me far more than all the high end hardware phones do.
Is stock ICS on it functional, or buggy? I'm thinking about picking it up on the EDGE pay as you go plan, but I was curious about usability during the time when I'm trying to root/recovery/flash the thing. It's been a while since I've done much custom ROM building, but if I can get a working recovery, it would be worth trying to build CM10.2 for this

Easy to root I have seen but need recovery. Hopefully CASIO comes out with a OTA.
Koush used to have a generic recovery cooker on his website. Plug in the mount points for system, data, cache, and boot along with some other stuff (I can't remember what offhand) and it spits out a recovery for your device. Might be worth looking into

I'm a noob to the world of all things root I have the original commando the is the m140 root impossible. I'm considering the C811 Commando2 is it root capable All I really want is to be able to remove the bloatware Verizon is likely to put on there. Would that be possible?
http://builder.clockworkmod.com/
This is the one I was thinking of. If any of you are rooted and have the information required here, make a backup up the recovery partition and give it a shot. What's the worst that could happen, you restore the backup? This is assuming you CAN read and write to the recovery with adb/fastboot.
I bought c811 as a second phone to use it in a gsm network, everything works perfectly out of the box but phone is rejecting all incoming calls, I've read exactly the same is happening to people using phone in Canada gsm networks and with at&t sim cards. I've rooted the phone and I've disabled all Verizon bloatware but no luck.
Any clue about this will be highly appreciated.

Ok, I've been using my Photon for a while now. I've been running the Rocko Rom with a locked bootloader. The other day it basically threw a fit so I went to reflash and it soft bricked. I finally got it back to stock and I'm considering unlocking the bootloader and trying CM. I used to run it on my Evo and thought it was pretty nice. My question is, are the unlocked Roms worth the bricking risk while unlocking the bootloader and if so, what does everyone think is the best Rom and it's pros and cons. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to give their opinion.
Honestly, if your phone isn't on the 2.3.5 ota with locked bootloader, unlock as there are many ROMs worth flashing. Rocko ROMs aren't supported anymore and there is little risk of brick if done correctly.

Thanks for the reply. I'm currently running a completely stock 2.3.4. Would you recommend a certain Rom that you've liked better than others? I've read that some lose 4g. If the Rom is good enough, I can handle that but I would really like to keep Netflix and ffc - I've read that some of the JB Roms lose those? Also, there are a ton guides for unlocking the bootloader, could someone direct me to a step by step reliable one as I'm still new to that aspect of phones. Thanks again.
-Unlocking the bootloader disables 4g regardless of what you flash. For unlocking the boot loader check the stickies. Lokifish Marz has a complete guide, maybe outdated on few things, but still the best reference on xda.
-As far as roms, peetrs hybrid in the Development sub forum has the most stability and netflix.
-If the Atrix ICS leak is of any use, we may see Netflix and the camcorder working soon in all the JB roms. I'm currently on CNA 3.6.6 and it runs like a champ despite having some difficulty flashing it without losing data (Wiping and Double flashing made it work for me). Lastly, almost all GB ROMs should install without a problem.

Great, thanks again. Do some of the Roms flashed bring back the 4g just out of curiousity or are they just gone? I'll probably try to unlock it over the next day or so and might come back here if I have questions as I don't have enough posts to ask questions in the dev forums. Thanks again.
Ok, little update. I've rooted my phone and everything worked fine. I then downloaded Titanium again and did a complete restore and have no again lost use of my home button. That is one of the original reasons that I attempted to reflash my rom. Problem is that I haven't put a ROM back on here, I've only rooted and restored.
4G will be lost when you unlock but is not a big deal for most people. You can get it back if you relock and flash back to stock.
Its not a ROM issue that causes 4G loss, its in flashing the bootloader through RSDlite. SBFing (like Odin and tar images) back to stock relocks the bootloader and makes it work again for some reason. I remember Joker saying its in the ril wrapper or something like that. What Kevets said lol

Sorry to bother everyone again but I noticed that xda site that has the Pudding method for unlocking the bootloader has been closed because it bricks "most of the devices it was attempted on".

Hello Loki. Good to see you're still working on the Photon. A while back you helped me on the Android forums when I thought I'd bricked my phone. Thanks again. I'll get to working on this and hopefully won't brick it again.
Success!
I just wanted to give another thanks out to everyone that helped guide me here and another to Lokifish as I followed your guide and am now unlocked. Now onto finding the best ROM - please keep sharing opinions on that if you want. Thanks to everyone again.

Hey, just thought id say congrats, and welcome to the real photon. I recommend you look at all of Th3bills roms over in the developers forum. Personally, if you are not too familiar with the unlocked and rooted capabilities yet, that you run AOKP. The biggest difference between the roms are the options provided to you in the settings, and i think you would find AOKP offers a lot without completely overwhelming you. Not to mention the roms are currently JellyBean builds, so its great if you like the latest and greatest out. Remember to always follow the flashing instructions step by step to ensure there are no force closes, etc. Enjoy your "new" photon. =)

Thanks. I actually found those very ROM's and I'm currently running miui.us. I can't believe how smooth it is. The biggest downside is that there is no app drawer so everything I download is on the homepages-too much like Apple, so I'm trying out Nova Launcher which is pretty slick so far. I'm still learning all of the jargon so would you mind explaining the difference between AOKP and others? Also, it really is like having a new phone, I can't believe the difference made between running locked roms and unlocked roms. It took my Antutu score from 50xx to 6687 lol.
Google Play Store (the latest versions) has the option to automagically put a shortcut/widget on the home screen(s) for new app installs, it's one of those things I can't stand personally and disable it. It's under the settings in Play, might help with that some.
The no app drawer is as miui feature, not something that can be disabled, I'm pretty sure

If I unlocked my bootloader is that enough to get the updates direct from HTC? or do I need to get a unlock code from ATT? or would I have had to buy a unlocked one straight from HTC?
First post! Thanks for starting a stupid question thread!
@ the poster above me, from what I've read so far, any unlocking of the bootloader will disable the OTA HTC updates. But I might have misread, I'm just learning about all this too and have read way too many pages of posts already. I'm sure someone in the know will chime in to confirm.
Now, my turn! I Just switched from iPhone to the HTC one and have really started considering flashing cleanRom 2.5. I have a kindle fire that I managed to root and get jelly bean on, so I'm not a total noob, but I wanna ask a few noob questions. Here goes:
I have spent a long time getting my phone setup the way I like it and when I flash cleanrom, is there a way to carry over the apps and things I've installed? No biggie if not, but I've got some saved game data on here already and some other stuff I'd rather not lose if there was an easy way to save. And is everything working correctly in the cleanrom to where I can still make zoes and use the camera, gallery, etc?
Also, any tips for getting this thing rooted? I was planning on downloading that "noob-proof" toolkit and going from there. I've read about people getting freezes and install issues using twrp, which scares me a bit because I have no idea what that other thing is (starts with a c) that people are using. and I read something Scott said that you should never do a system wipe or you could lose your backup?? I know I used to wipe the system, cache, and something else when I rooted my kindle but I never tried to go back to stock or even look to see if I had a backup file somewhere. maybe if there's a step by step guide you could point me to that I might have missed?
Thanks for the help, I'm glad I joined the forum!

No, unlocking the bootloader won't allow that. If we get s-off then changing the cid and flashing a stock developer edition Rom with a relocked bootloader should allow that if one so desired.
---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 AM ----------
There is no "easy" way perse' to back that stuff up and carry over. There is a way I saw sometime back to root without unlocking the bootloader. Theoretically one could do that and use titanium backup... But I don't really know if it will save your game progress... And you will have to offload your titanium backup data to a computer or something before unlocking the bootloader because it will erase everything. The thing about not wiping system came about because of all the problems people have been having with aroma freezing. Some people seem to have it worse then others but the idea is if aroma screws up over and over you still have an os to boot into. I personally (cross my fingers) have had little trouble with that (maybe 1 freeze or 2 then it runs through all the way). I'd suggest leaving the system folder alone until you know how your phone reacts to aroma installs.

Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Not sure about the unlock code but I suspect it would only be a SIM unlock to use on other carriers. Not sure it changes the cid. The other software update your talking about won't grab firmware updates from HTC... There was a software update pushed through that recently for the HTC media thing I read it was so media sharing could be turned on without having mobile hotspot activated.

Hey guys, I got an HTC One GE also. Since there is no separate forum for the GE, does anyone know if it is possible to gain S-OFF? I'm not planning on flashing ROMs because stock android is awesome. I really only need it so that I can remove the "tampered" flag in the bootloader in case I need to return the phone for warranty purposes.

Me too, the quality of pictures is unchanged.
So, it turns out we're out of luck. After a ton of research, the only exploit that works to S-OFF works with hboot 1.44, but the GE ships with Android 4.2.2 which has hboot 1.54, which patched the exploit.
We have to wait it out for S-OFF.

I see that there's not much information regarding the phone, so if I can do anything to contribute I'll be more than happy to do so. Please be patient with me as its been a long time.
Best regards.

Hey guys, I got an HTC One GE also. Since there is no separate forum for the GE, does anyone know if it is possible to gain S-OFF? I'm not planning on flashing ROMs because stock android is awesome. I really only need it so that I can remove the "tampered" flag in the bootloader in case I need to return the phone for warranty purposes.
Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never seen the Tampered flag returned to normal. I've seen counter resets for plenty of devices, but in the few phones I've rooted and modded for friends, I haven't seen a boot loader reset tool that could fix it. Am I living in the past?

I really like the upgrade from my one xl, the camera is nice, especially hdr and the screen and speed is better. Still cant stand the button layout but oh well.
Is there any way to root this GE phone? I miss my extra features from rooting the most.

I'm not sure if it is a true reset, but with the revone exploit and the - t flag, you can remove the tampered flag from the bootloader! There is a forum dedicated to S-OFF which I can link to here later (on a phone).

You don't get around much do you?
We've had a system dump for a couple of weeks now.
I have the GE as well. It would be nice if we had a separate forum. I have a few things I would like to see if others are seeing as well:
Home and back button light work "inconsistently"
Wifi seems to be inconsistent too (I may have solved this with turning off the "wifi optimization" in the advanced settings
IR definitely does not work. I tried the MacRemote app, which works on the standard HTC One.
Loving the phone so far. It is so nice to finally have AT&T LTE on a stock android(ish) device. For those that will scream that this is not "stock android" I shall call it SKINLESS android.

Not sure about the WiFi or the light inconsistencies, but I know that HTC didn't include the API for the infrared remote because the GE is supposed to be as 'stock' as possible.

Yeah, once you have S-Off, you can change the flags, remove them, add ones, etc etc. You can even change and reset it back to 100% completely stock and locked / S-on if desired. I used it on my DNA (same s-off method) then returned it to factory locked before I sold it.
Brodad said:
So, it turns out we're out of luck. After a ton of research, the only exploit that works to S-OFF works with hboot 1.44, but the GE ships with Android 4.2.2 which has hboot 1.54, which patched the exploit.
We have to wait it out for S-OFF.

I have S-Off with my one, on Hboot 1.54, but thats because I was originally on 1.44 =)
I was about to post this plea for help and then I decided to try a factory reset and before I could finish signing into google I had an LTE signal.
If you're having connection issues try a factory reset. Mine was cycling between 3 bands along with having no signal at all and never managed a 4G LTE signal, I even went and got another sim card. Incredibly relieved at the moment, the phone is great, no junk, just Android.

Why should the GE have it's own forum? It is the same device as the Sense (obviously with a different ROM/hboot, etc)

I am also going to order one. I've been anxiously waiting the release of this device since I first read about it on Android central. I've been running the VZW Gs4 for a while now and need a change. I'm really really hoping that it will have root bootloader and s-off just like the one (especially since they share the same chipset). I really hope there is developer interest in this device.
I was just at the store checking one out. The build quality feels amazing! And, despite the size, fits and feels just fine in the pocket of my jeans.
I did not walk out with it, but will probably end up talking myself into the purchase within the next couple of hours.

i said the exact same thing..i compared it next to the Note 3... the note 3 really felt cheap
i checked out the back cover, and the finish FELT and looked FLUSH from every angle. There were some reports of back cover not fitting snug in early production models?
the only thing that bothered me was the internals, all they needed was a SD800, and i would of completely been satisfied plunking down $600 + tax for one
I also got to see a White LG G2. There was a LG Rep that said, there could be a sale similar to last G2 deal, 450$ outright.. so i might just wait for that, and get the HTC M8 whenever that comes out

Yeah. I pinged him this morning because I needed his help to get temp root to pull kernel for beaups to use for bootloader unlock and s-off. Got stuck at work so didn't pick it up until about an hour ago. For now it's charging. Then I'm going to contact him and hopefully take care of business.

It should be quite easy, you just need a custom recovery and then you are rooted. please visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498749 and request for verizon support, the dev has been really good, kind enough and been quick to get the recovery for sprint & international models working!

Unfortunately as beaups has described to me it's a chicken/egg thing. They have to have the kernel before they can create *valid* recovery (other device recovery may work) and root but you have to be rooted to pull the kernel.

i see, i did not know that. i also don't see anyways we can backup stock recovery. i seriously wonder how dev's were able to get the initial stock kenel/recovery. i guess that's only via temp root that you are looking for with jcase
Got mine also!

I Got mine yesterday on EDGE
Got back into booloader by removing drivers that installed and installing HTC Sync Manager. Works for now so not removing sync manager itself until I have to.
No go on htcdev unlock. It let me get all the way to putting my device info and then came back with a code 160 MID not allowed message. Verizon likely shut that down early.
Now I have to try to connect with jcase (if available) to temp root...
anyone dump the system yet? and can someone do adb pull /proc/config.gz

Hey everyone. I have attempted to build a working flex ROM for Verizon g2. Had a bootable ROM but had no working 4g data. Attempted to make ROM work with appropriate files to get data working but now it won't boot. Why. I don't know. I have asked for help from other builders for all the other variants with no response from them except for a very general point in the proverbial direction to no avail. @MicroMod777 of the awesome digital dream ROM in the Verizon forum has assisted me as well as @krazie1. @T.C.P and @Jeff Zaugg. So basically I am looking for someone to help resolve our issues. I would even be willing to come up with donations accordingly for time and knowledge to resolve these issues or even to just build a working ROM to share with the masses. Thank you all in advance for your time. ROM ON!!!!!

I don't even have my bootable base anymore. Forgot to make copy before I started modding it to get data working. Unfortunately I got work tomorrow. If I can get an uploaded bootable ROM then I can work on what isn't working. Sure wish there was a android kitchen for lg g2 to attempt doing this the way I would prefer. Plus this is effectively the first ROM in which I am doing this. Usually just editing and modding other Roms for myself. Hope I'm not biting of more than I can chew.

We started with a flex ROM and changed boot img libs/modules. Etc /permissions pertaining to Verizon also a build prop edited for it. Basically got a booting ROM with no data. Originally that was with tangjuns ROM. Then I tried starfighters and couldn't get it to boot. Now one of us is trying rayglobe. But we would defiantly love to have your help to get this off the ground. I asked in your thread about a Verizon version of aeon flux. Just trying to get some of these great Roms for our phones. You guys do great work and obviously help each other out. I am the new guy that chose this as my first project. Thanks for all you can do.

Some of you said you were having trouble getting the flex Rom to boot.
These are the steps i've taken:
In Android Development there is a thread by Tangjun269.
On page 13 of thread is a rom called Flex_Rayglob.zip 952.3 mb
I downloaded this rom it's got Gapps baked in and has the ugly black around the icons removed witch I think looks better.
I use root explorer to extract rom then I replaced these items from any one (your choice) of the stock rooted 12b builds in the Verizon section:
Extracting each one from 12b and dropping into extracted flex rom.
Boot.ing
META-INF
etc/apns-conf.xml
Lib/modules
Now zip rom, boot into recovery back up and flash.

if we can get these two jars to framework and actually boot, it might work.

/framework/com.verizon.phone.jar"/>
everytime i flash them, or push them, the phone wont boot :/
I think we might have more luck if we disabled signature checks. That might be causing issues of being able to switch the apks over. I don't remember if you disable this In android policy.jar or services.jar
