I recently purchased a brand new htc G2 and it is amazing. I can see why people develop for it; the potential coming from this thing is absolutely phenomenal.
I know what I want to do to this phone but I don't know where to go to and who and what to read up on. Cyanogen mod came up so much and I read up on a lot of his stuff but all seemed so complicated due to me just starting to figure out all this stuff.
I would love to know where to start out with this thing so that my g2 would be the best g2 for me. Any recommendations as to what to do to it, read up on or easiest way to understand rooting and how to do it?
Also I was thinking about what widgets and wallpapers u guys can suggest for convenience use. It would be much appreciated
Thank you

This was the easiest method, and the one I used to root my phone.

Welcome to the fold and prepare to be impressed with your new phone.
Read, read, and read.
And when you think you got it? Read again. Rooting is fantastic, but can get hairy. So make sure you are 100% comfortable. But have fun unlocking the full potential of your phone!

I read before buying it. I still am reading.

I'm completely satisfied as it is, mostly cuz I've never held a genius fone before. I have been reading intently about rooting but have never been...with it, if u know what I mean. It is a hard concept but hopefully that link u sent me is good. Also. Can u guys recommend cool widgets and apps?

"Top free" and "top paid" sections in the market are good places to start
I rooted a few days ago and used the process at theunlockr.com it was pretty easy to follow the instructions cause there was also video to go along with them. Probably took about an hour to do and was well worth it. Check it out.

Pretty much use this and then download ROM manager, search Cyanagonmod 7, and you're good to go. You'll learn from there.
I have an engineering version of the Motorola Clark XT1578. Unfortunately, I thought it was an XT1575 and put a stock rom on it for that version. After I looked at it more closely, I noticed that it is an XT1578. I know... late night when I did it. Thankfully, it didn't brick.
I've searched the forums for XT1578, but cannot find anything. Anybody know where I can get a stock rom for the 1578 to put on this gem?
I would say if you have an engineering version why would you need the forum. None of us would have that unless you work at Motorola. They should have the image. Not sure how you even managed to get one. Sorry, can't say I've seen anything on these forums with that model. Not even on the internet other than the leak statements calling the Clark, the XT1578. Maybe others can chime in with more help. Sorry.

Didn't realize it hadn't come out yet. Guess I'll leave it as is until it does. Thanks.
Sounds top secret. Better look out for men in black suits and sunglasses to show up at your door.

I have 2 more weeks to return the phone... The phone it's great ( price, build quality , screen resolution ... Battery life got way better Whit time and some apps disable) but it looks like ZTE will never release the factory images for us to play Whit the phone as we like on a way would hate to return it back....
So its that's the case I don't see any other phone worth buying now but going back to the nexus 6p since the upcoming nexus by htc looks more like a downgrade [emoji29] ...
Would you guys consider a downgrade going back to the. 6p ? I saw them at 399 the 64 gigs on Amazon last weeks and I think I should of got it at that price ?

I know there is a new big update coming (base on comments and reply from ZTE Community) and this update may bring the factory image we want, that's the only reason i see why they haven't release a factory image for us to play with, beside CM 13.1 is just days away or less.
Thank you for the fast respond... I see you very active on these community don't know if ur a developer but looks like u have tons of knowledge regarding Android system ... U mean some one it's already working on CM 13.1 wow that would be pretty fast, honestly I would prefer something more stable and less ? drainer like the nexus pure project , it would be hard to port it probably ... I wouldn't even main if it's the stock Rom just polished Whit some tweaks and heavy debloat it oh well will wait those 2 weeks and go from there I really like these phone!

Return it is my advice. Never get a phone based on possible "future" features or upgrades. Don't get stuck with a phone you hate because of wishful thinking that didn't pan out. I been down that path and it's a waste of time.
I have also my concerns with that phone. If we don't have prospect of custom ROMs based on CM or AOSP it is quite useless (for me).
Unfortunately there is not much development going on until now... maybe it's getting better as soon as the deives are everywhere available but maybe not, who knows....
fact is everything is going slow in comparison to other devices mainly caused by ZTE itself
Its going back tomorrow ?

Slow? The phone has only been out a month and limited at that. We've already got root. You haven't had a phone on day one much have you? This is fast compared to other non Nexus devices.

If you look at the previous gen Axon http://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-axon, mirrors this forum.
You have root, twrp but no custom roms. Keep this device for it's current list of features that's what you get for a $400 phone. You want custom rom, then Nexus 6P or OP3 will have plenty of custom roms to choose from.

im in the same boat but reversed. i just bought the 6p from bestbuy a week ago. its ok but the battery life on 7.0 is subpar and the lcd is pretty bad. the axon 7 looks to offer more bang for the buck. im contemplating exchanging mine today for the grey axon i see is in stock. custom roms will come in time, you have root and an unlocked bootloader.
Edit: just bought the grey axon. reset my 6p and ill be at best buy at 11am.

congrats on settling in. I'm sure you made the correct decision. I'm at your decision-making point regarding my OnePlus One. I've owned a ZTE desktop for 5 years, their customer (based on one call) was excellent. (toll-free 24/7 Lifetime). Maybe different for cellular. I'm sure you will give your impression and I'll look forward to them.
I assume they're immediately available at BestBuy?

Only 2 local best buys had the axon 7 grey available. less than 3 in stock. thats why i bought this morning. these devices are hard to get and are sold out everywhere.
I'm in the same boat but with op3. Not sure if I wanna go back to it yet.

I just received mine yesterday. Maybe I would like it better rooted and all haha. Could you help me root mine? I couldn't figure out how to use that program. And could I indoor if I wanted to?(if I ever resell). What's the purpose of BL unlock if you can root with locked bootloader ?

Also one thing I hate is that the Dolby Atmos changes sound profile ..for example if I chose my custom profile and scroll through Instagram it changes to the movie profile ..

just follow the steps there to unlock and get twrp installed. rooting is easy, you just flash the supersu zip in recovery.

Am I able to fastboot oem lock when I am done with the phone ? For resell ..so the next owner can get ota? If not if I rooted with locked bootloader could I still get ota?
sadly i returned mine today and got a 4gb ram model g4+. i loved the axon's look and feel but the software is junk and i had nothing but issues with overheating and random reboots, loosing wifi and iemi. ive learned a valuable lesson. only buy phones with stock android.
Hello,
Not sure if this is even the right place to post but I believe my phone was hacked and would like help with how to verify this.
My boss and some friends of hers have keyed my car and other childish things but now messing with someone's phone, network, and personal records, besides being illegal is beyond ridiculous.
Can anyone help me find out if they did gain access? Phone is Verizon HTC One M8, was rooted, S-off, unlocked bootloader, stock rom. I have done a reset via TWRP. Have not completed rooting with SuperSU, don't even know if I should.
Stupid question but is it better to get a new phone, get a new sim, or neither?
Thanks in advance for any help.

i think you can try to unroot your phone and the hacking software will report failed.
the other way is try the secure software to scan your phone.
btw
You can look for active keyloggers or maybe a metasploit file u dont reconize. If someone is taking ur info see if u can get kali that mjght help

Conative719-how does one look for those, and in the "For Dummies" version, please
If that doesn't work will try Evanzhou2000's suggestion.

To see if u have any of those what i would do is downdload the latest es file explorer or vet defender virus protecter the metasploits r kinda hardwr to find but i think one way is does it take screen shots alot?
Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk
Like the phone? Then buy another one for the $80-$120 they are on ebay, and then sell the one you own now. Don't connect to wifi that they may have access to. Might not be simple but if you legit think you've been hacked, stop using the phone you think is hacked then. Extremely simple.
So I've searched around XDA, Reddit and the rest of the net trying to find any root method for this tablet. I just got this tablet for free as a deal with T-Mobile.
I see a lot of guides on XDA for older Tab A's, and also for what appears to be the WiFi variant of mine (a lot of 380 and 385), but nothing for T387. I've blindly rooted stuff and made mistakes in the past ambitiously trying to find root on older devices and have ended up in soft bricks and (even a hard brick on LG devices) in the past, and I'm not looking to make that mistake again. I do know that Samsung's variants have kind of homogenized a bit more the past few years also.
Will these root/TWRP guides for the 380/385 also work for my 4G variant of this tablet, or am I going to have to hope and wait someone makes something a bit more specific?
Just wanted to inquire.
Hey, I'm actually looking for the same info! Subscribed and am hoping to hear back.
News
Have you found anything?
Nope. I haven't. I opened a thread on reddit as well. I actually used the title of this post since it was perfectly worded and anyone searching the web will find both in the results. I hope speedanderson doesn't mind
Of course not!
Sorry, I forgot about this post and checking back I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who wants an answer to this.
I'm going to see if I can find your Reddit thread also just to keep tabs.
Edit: found it immediately. Sad to see nobody answered there I did give it silver in hopes it might make someone notice it
did you unlock the oem?
I am still unable to unlock it!

Thanks man. I responded there but I think this is the same issue I have e with my 950u and snapdragon processor. Outta luck for the time being!

Can you tell me from where you got the combination file for this.
My problem now is that qualcomm secureboot is enabled and cant flash twrp.
Anyone can give a hint on bypassing the secure boot?
any luck?
Has there been any luck in rooting the SM-T387T?
Well, if this thread ever produces success be sure and let me know. I have the same combination files y'all have I'm sure.
Bump... surely someone has been able to root these devices by now.

I'm going to assume adb would be our friend here.
To elaborate, connect to adb with the tablet on and pull the kernel to Downloads. Use magisk to patch that Img and then try to push it back.
I'm joining you guys
In for +1 as well...
I have a Verizon T-387 would love to get Lineage or stock android on there.
Maybe we need to start a donation ring to attract developers.
Or feed this thread to show how amazing people we are
Btw I'm quite impressed by the tab A 2018 (our version), my nexus 7 died 2 month ago and I got the galaxy for "free"with a data plan. I chose it instead of a Huawei Mediapad T5 thinking that they would be equally slow with their 2 Gb of ram... But the Tab A is very fast and handle everything I throw to it very well and timely imho (YouTube, browsing, very light multitasking).
I don't know how the T5 would have behave but I'm glad that I chose the smaller 8' tab vs the 10" T5.
Nice thread
Hi all I'm looking for a root for this new galaxy t387t tablet. But I haven't seen anything yet except for this thread. Has anyone made any progress and rooted this device yet? Thanks in advance for any replies.
Stumbled across this thread. I've bought one on OfferUp that is google locked. Are the steps to bypass the same as for the T387 the same as for the t580 or t380?
