Fare-thee-well... (maybe?)

Well let me start off with I LOVE YOU ALL!!!! Everyone here has taught me so much it is truly unbelievable. I was so happy to have been a part of this community, being able to see ics go from experimental to beta was a true sight to behold and now you're all starting a new path with JB. That is why I am sad to say that I will be leaving this wonderful community since I just purchased a one v for the wonderful cyber Monday price of 49.99. I still don't know what I'm going to do with my ov.... if I want to sell it or if I want to keep it to see how far development its going

I hope this community continues to grow and "develop"

and I'll be popping in from time to time to see how all of you are doing. So excited to receive my one v

wish me luck, I was taking a look at the rooting and Rom directions and they are so confusing -________- soooo once again, I love you all and thank you for the kindness and knowledge you've all shared with me!!!!!

If you are planning on flashing roms right away, don't even root. Just unlock the bootloader and flash away. Unfortunately, my one v is screwed. Sdcard slot quit working and I have no system installed. I've been trying to get it working but I can't and I'm about to give up. Have fun with the one v

Wait... it's possible to just flash a rom on a HTC phone by merely unlocking the bootloader? What about backing up the phone's original os and replacing the recovery mode? I'm fairly sure those tasks require rooting the phone.

I also bought the one v and i fell in love with it. I still have 2 OV's sitting on my desk and i still play with them. Its sad to see such a good phone getting left behind and it being the first android phone i started with and learned from.

I still use the optimus v and the phone is not getting left behind, you are leaving the phone behind.

No, it only requires unlocking the boot loader. Then all you do is fast boot flash the recovery. No root needed at all.

I didn't say anything about leaving it behind. I've decided to keep it and use it as an mp3 player. I love it too much to sell it
