Firstly, Nitro HD is low end already. Take note of it. It is single cored(If im not wrong), and also, its already 2 years old.
And buying it is up to you. If you want it as a spare phone, which it is preferably one.

First off yes its 1 1/2 years old but has never been low end. It is one if not the most powerful phone made in the Nov '11 - April '12 time frame. Secondly the Snapdragon DUAL CORE WITH ADRENO DUAL CORE graphics was also one of the most powerful made that was only surpassed by the newer quad core processors this phone is no slouch. The software platform is very mature and has a great developing community. If you want the latest and greatest look elsewhere but be depending on what money you spend you will have quite a beast on your hands.

If you are talking about unlocking the sim, that can only be done with a stock ROM. You can root stock ICS with ease but if you want root AND a custom recovery then you need to use the unbricking guide due to the ICS boot loader being locked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645
This guide works best on a win xp computer. However if you have win 7 there is help within the pages of that guide that can provide that help. Good luck.

Root and install a custom recovery so you can install a custom ROM. Like I said before sim unlocking can only be done on a stock ROM. To unlock go to settings, security then sim lock.
Edit sorry man thinking of something else. To unlock the sim so you can use it on a different network go to your phone dialer and out in the following code:
2945#*930#
Then select network
And input your unlock code (you only get 10 attempts before your phone is locked for good)

I think unless you were to go through the unbricking guide again. But I have never done it so I am not 100%. But I do know it has to be done from a stock ROM as the custom ROMs like cyanogen and miui do not have that capability. But as long as you are just installing ROMs through cwm you shouldn't have to unlock again.

compared to what? it has better specs than dozens of phones that came out after it with a cheaper price tag
almost every major dev team supports this phone, there is a reason for that those people are the experts that should tell you enough.

Rooting will give you simunlock. However, there is no guarantee it will work for all carriers. There are some it does not work with.

Yes. Use the ace hack kit only to unlock/root your phone. Do not use any other method. You can flash anything in the dev section. Read the op (first page) before flashing. It will list what works and what bugs are listed.

Hi all,
sorry for my lack of knowledge, I'm a brand new HTC One X owner. I'd like to have the very standard software (ICS in this case) without the branding of T-Mobile. I've bought my phone in Poland (Europe Version).
Any step-by-step tutorials in here? I surely don't want to brick my new phone
not 100% sure on this but think only one way to debrand that is to unlock bootloader and root then install custom rom could be wrong tho

Well, I've got no problem with unlocking the bootloader etc. but I would like to have the normal ICS with HTC's Sense on the phone rather than some cyanogenmod or something along those lines. If anyone can help me out with the needed files and a step-by-step how-to (I'm not dumb when technology is involved, but I have absolutely no contact with the moding scene of Smartphones).

I think ARHD is meant to be pretty close to the standard sense experience. Cyanogen is a good release though, but maybe wait until its more stable on one x?

ARHD is a stock Rom tweaked to make it even better. you will find it much better, that is the only way to remove it, or rooting and flashing another boot animation
Easiest way I found was to unlock bootloader, root then delete all the carrier bloat you don't want and then flash a new bootanimation

Since you still opt for ICS the ARHD is the best alternative choice! Just search the thread on the XDA Developer you'll find it.
I have a T-Mob as well but flashed on CM10 for JellyBean and so far works great!
I recently purchased a One V from Cricket and the stock firmware truly isn't bad so far. Minimal micro lags and such but I'm an Android mod-a-holic and I would like to go the whole 9 yards with this device. My only question is if recovery for the Virgin Mobile version can be flashed on the cricket one. I've looked through this whole forum and so far I've gathered yes but I really would hate to brick my brand new phone.
Of course you can, otherwise cricket guys wouldn't ask for roms and stuff :thumbup: the only problem you could meet is an high radio with wouldn't let you flash roms, so if you did the most recent ota, ask the developer if it's ok to flash before doing that :thumbup:

yea thats a real big problem, very few phones from vm have development on them
ZTE is a company pretty much in the pocket of virgin mobile usa in the sense that they lock their devices boot system up so roming is a complete nightmare. check out the other zte branded devices by vm and youll notice outside of root..nothing has occured on those devices. and not for a lack of trying. the same goes with vm's kyocera branded devices. take a look at vm's dwindling line up of other manufacturers versus these "no brand" devices..most of them are zte or kyocera...avoid.

Root for now. Might be all there will be. ZTE devices from virgin are notorious for protected boot...unless a damn good developer like jcase or someone that capable buys or has it donated,dont expect even a recovery for it.

Just got this too. Amazing phone for the price. Did you guys do the full root (part a) or partial root (part b), and which kernel did you have success with? Hopefully we can rom it later but just root access would be great to tether and root apps. Thanks for your help.

As for the phone... it is wonderful! Just as fast as an sIII but much better pics and web browsing (and no touchwiz!!!). Its no s4 or htc one, but it is one great phone... only thing- touch buttons sometimes do not work well, especially with a case, but it will get better with more use...

It's not very hard to find the information you're requesting! Nearly all of the members of this forum SEARCHED and found the information you want, did it on their own, however it requires reading..... It would benefit you by reading, so that you understand all of the aspects of getting to your goal WITHOUT creating a BRICK! You would get the overall understanding of what the pitfalls are and the benefits as well. You could be spoon fed the single area that you can get the job done, but won't understand anything about what you're doing, or anything..... You won't be really able to choose any of the finer points of what you want the final product to be....
It's YOUR phone, and if you want to have the phone as YOU want it, would you not agree that'd be the best result?
Read, explore, and see what's available, and THEN, make your decision on what to do. I strongly advise you to do the "homework" on what avenues you have as options and you'll be better off in the long run. You are aware there is no "school" on how to do these things and just about all of the developers and tweakers on this forum READ to get all their knowledge on this wonderful phone....
Just my two cents and if you don't know how to search, here's an example using google:
Root SGH-M919N XDA<enter>
You'll be amazed how much information you'll find..... MUCH MORE than anyone could give you in a response to your question....
Good Luck and Aloha....
What Bobo is trying to say is that Google is your friend. Just add "XDA" to your search and you'll get more hits from xda - development
