[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickMG:
Vinchenzop, I don't mean to steal someone's thread with this question but it looks like you answered his question with what might just be the answer to mine so I'll ask it here. I think (I know) I did something very stupid yesterday after I uploaded to 2.3.3 on my rooted phone. I did it from here, not the official update and when I was done I know I was still rooted because I restored everything with Titanium backup. Well, seems Titanium on the auto backup didn't back everything up every night like I set and some of the backups missed data or some programs just weren't there so I did a restore of my programs from My Backup Pro. Something in there must've unrooted me because now when I open Titanium it says, after the request for approval to use it pops up, Sorry, I could not acquire root privileges. This application will *not* work! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again.

When I open Wireless tether it says it's been granted superuser permission but then says unable to start tethering, is your devise rooted?

Help please.

If you have s-off in bootloader you're still rooted. Try going to recovery and flashing this superuser fix/reboot and your permissions should work again.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickMG:
dirkyd3rk, I just noticed my response and it was for anyone else having the problem that I had. I just wanted to say the response was meant to say that I downloaded the file you mentioned above which eventually is the reason I was able to get back my root. I just needed the one more step I listed above about going back into recovery after doing your instructions and that is when I saw the option to "Reset Permissions" which I never saw before your fix and that did the final trick. Thank you so much again. :D

p.s. I had to delete your link above because I do not have enough posts but all those who might need it can see it in your original response to me.

No problem man either way you're back in business that's all that matters lol.

Ok, posting in this thread bc its the closest subject to what i have going on.

I got my evo replaced last night for antenna issues. Old one had Fresh on it, and i want it back.

I am using the same memory card as was in my old evo

current phone has 2.2 build 3.70.651.1

this thread says there isnt a way to root with latest OTA. But the read first thread under Q&A says that my build is supported.

So i followed the instructions under xHausx guide and im getting stuck.

When i run my autoroot.bat file as administrator it opens up dos prompt and says

'res\ini.cmd' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

ERROR Cannot load init file! Make sure you extract everything out of the zip!

I downloaded the autoroot 2.5 file through the mirror linked on the guide and extracted it. I have HTC sync 2.0.35. (i know there is a new version 3.0 available but as it just came out yesterday i am assuming that the version is not needed for this method)

Debugging is checked

Phone was in charging mode

Any thoughts?

Im trying not to get discouraged. This is what happens when you let someone else root it the first time and dont pay attention.

I think i posted almost all details that i could think of.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Your phone luckily wasn't updated to the 2.3 OTA, so you can still root it. I have no experience with the Autoroot method, so unfortunately I cannot help you there. I can recommend using unrevoked instead to root your phone.

You'll need to uninstall HTC Sync, and download the modified drivers from the unrevoked site & install them. Download the latest version (I believe it's called reflashpackage.exe once it downloaded). Everything else you should already have covered - debugging on, charge only, etc. There are video walkthroughs of unrevoked on YouTube, if that helps you.

Once you've installed the drivers, plugged the phone in, and started unrevoked, it should only take about five minutes or so. The phone will reboot a couple of times, wait for it to say "done", then you're rooted. Unrevoked installs ClockworkMod, if you'd rather use Amon Ra you can get it from Rom Manager or from xda.

I'm sure that Autoroot is a great program, I just don't have experience with it. I've rooted with unrevoked once, and it was the easiest process I've seen for fully rooting/nand unlock.

Good luck!

...oh, and don't restore any nandroid backups from your old phone. User apps backed up with Titanium are fine, but nandroid backups are a baaaad idea.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpilcher:
Uninstall HTC sync would be my first thought...then start again with just the usb drivers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randomsilliness:
Thanks, gonna try that method now. What better way to spend an evening right???

LOL
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randomsilliness:
Ok.

Followed the instructions on Unrevoked.

Downloaded unrevoked 3.

installed drivers.

restarted phone,

opened unrevoked 3.

Program ran, then kicked off error “Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?"

Looked up a few forums that says boot to bootloader and clear storage.

While doing this i noticed it says S-Off now.

Cleared storage, rebooted and ran unrevoked. It went through its little speal and rebooted the phone a few times.

now unrevoked says "done" However, i still have stock HTC Sense.

*slams head on laptop*
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randomsilliness:
Ok, so i found a thread that suggested downloading root checker.

it says i have root access.

So if im thinking correctly i just need to install a rom that i like?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpilcher:
Ya...depending on what was imaged in the process, you will probably have a stock rom installed afterwards. I've done two EVO's (004) in the last day using this:

http://www.multiupload.com/HSWSV16NU0

when you are done..your will have a stock rooted sense.

But it sounds like you got through everything well, so no need to redo anything..happy flashing?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
I still haven't got my replacement, apparently EVOs are backordered. I told the Sprint store to NOT update it to gingerbread. Told them I use Netflix too often and to leave it alone :) They said no problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpilcher:
I did notice when I picked the one up for my son yesterday at Best Buy, they were updated the two customers before me. Did the same thing...just took the box without him even opening it and did my own thing.

After 2 replacements in a week on mine..today the third one came in and had the same solar flare in the middle of the screen. The guy at the sprint store was now a little more sympathetic and went and got a new 004 out of the back and let me do the activation myself...whew..no update done on that one either!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
It's normal to have stock HTC Sense after you root (at least with unrevoked). Do you have Superuser in your app list?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Randomsilliness:
Yes i did have it. I copied my rom zip file over and installed it ... so i think everything is good.

Fresh 3.5

Tho my antenna is now going in and out a lot (which it didnt before the root, thats why i got the old one replaced due to it going in and out)

and 3g is SUPER slow.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpilcher:
Understand..the reason I had my last one replaced...hope it's not the same issue. Took them 2 additional replacements to get mine right, but it was the sunspot on the screen on the replacements and not the borked 3G. They finally gave me a NIB 004 today.

Back to your question, have you checked your:

RTSP Proxy Port 0

RTSP Proxy Address 0.0.0.0

HTTP PD Proxy Port 0

HTTP PD Proxy Address 0.0.0.0

in the ##3282# advanced settings? You'll need your msl code and you can download MSL Reader free from the market to get it. This could help a little bit and most of the later roms already have the changes cooked in.

They should all be 0 (zeros) or 0.0.0.0 (zeros), make sure you commit changes by hitting the menu to bring it up to allow you to commit.

The 1X/3G/Evdo or whatever notification that appears up there is not always true to form on some roms...fyi

Hi all

I was wondering if WhatsApp can actually work on the Android emulator or not? I managed to install it on the Android emulator...but how to make it start working?

I thought the emulator is automatically connected to the internet...so when I tried sending the confirmation sms from the emulator to my phone...nothing happened...

Does anyone know how to make WhatsApp work on the emulator? or has anyone tried and was successful or failed? Please share!

~Information~

The following are instructions that I have come up with to unlock the "Unknown Sources" option on non rooted Android phones that do not have the option available. By unlocking this option you will now have the ability to install non "Android Market" applications such as "TeamViewer" and more

~Warning~

This was performed in a HTC Inspire 4G so results may vary for each phone

THIS PROCESS WILL RESET YOUR CONFIGURED SETTINGS TO THE DEFAULT (Display, Ringtone, Wallpaper, etc.) BUT DO NOT WORRY BECAUSE IT ISN'T PERMANENT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS RECONFIGURE IT AND ITS WORTH IT IF YOU ARE UNLOCKING THE OPTION "Unknown Sources"​

1. Go To Your "Settings"

2. Go To "Applications"

3. Go To "Manage applications"

4. Go To The "All" Tab (or any tab that will display all your apps)

5. Find The Applications "Customization Settings Provider"

6. Click On "Clear data"

7. Go Back To "All" Tab (or any tab that will display all your applications)

8. Find The Program "Settings"

9. Click On "Clear data"

Finished

If You Go Back To "Applications" You Will Now Have The Option To Enable "Unknown Sources"

If It Worked For You Please Submit "Yes" in the poll. If it didn't please submit "No" in the poll. I would also be glad if you submitted a reply to the thread to keep it alive.​

For those curiouse if this is going to break your MMS or Calls or Data, dont worrie. All this does is clear a "Development Setting" to hide Unknown Resources tab. However you may have to renter some info, such as APNs or Voicemail.

[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I'm super interested in this thread.

The only reason I'm wanting to root my phone is to access more apps. I'm cool with the stock rom and radio, and I will never change to another network. I bet there are a lot of folks in the same boat with me. Maybe someone could develop an app that resets critical AT&T settings after performing gamanunited's steps to enable the unknown sources tab. Then if someone could develop something like crudscraper to get rid of the At&T bloatware, we'd really be in business.

Any fix for mms yet?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
For those who just want to be able to sideload apps, there is a safer way of doing it. But it requires the use of a rooted phone...maybe a friends phone who can loan to you long enough to setup your Google account. You need to setup a specific Google account and sign into it on a rooted phone. Allow it to backup all settings and apps...make sure to install a few non-market apps. Once finished, hard reset your Inspire so that it will set up again like a new phone and sign into the saved Google account. It should restore all system settings and market apps and you will be able to sideload apps. It won't give you the "Unknown sources" checkbox but it will allow you to install non-market apps.

It might help to use an HTC Sense-based rooted phone.

Cheerio
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmanunited:
No You don't Need that. All you need is Super One Click and choose the enable Unknown Sources tab. You will not have the check box but you will be able to add 3rd party applications.
[HTC Inspire 4G] akira02rex:
This thread has fail written all over it lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
That requires rooting. The process I explained does not required your Inspire to be rooted. You just need to use a rooted phone to make this work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmanunited:
Superone Click Does not really root the phone. The phones image is protected...This only gives you temporary root which in turns lets you enable Unknown Sources. It works I have been using it for Months. I just wanted to see the Unknown Sources Tab with this fix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
I used SuperOneClick before AT&T pushed me the update. It does not root and it works. No side effects neither. Once you download it you can do it in two minutes then just restart.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slerbal:
Hi there,

Is there a way to temporary root my Nexus S [I9020XXKD1] or alternatively a non-root way to access /data so that I can copy a file in and out? Essentially I want to be able to backup and restore some game saves

Most posts I've read basically have folks saying "Just root it", which is good advice to most but isn't right for me - I really don't want to have to wipe my phone and I'd also like to be able to dip my toe into rooting before taking a full leap. That, and aside from needing this one file in /data my phone works exactly as I'd like it to :)

I only need "su" access for a brief moment to copy off a file to and from /data. I set up the android sdk but ADB didn't work because of the protection of "production builds".

VISIONary seemed like the right kind of thing, but I don't believe it works for the Nexus S or recent firmware, so while temp rooting would be nice so would any solution that allows me to backup and restore some files in /data.

At the moment I am wondering if writing an apk of my own that copies/replaces this one file is the way to go - but that seems perversely long way around!

So any help/suggestions most appreciated :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
There is no temporary root for the Nexus S. You're either rooted, or you're not. However, if, perchance, you are on Android 2.3.2 or earlier, you might be able to root without wiping.

Without root, you cannot see the files in /data, but you can read/write the files directly if they have the proper permissions and you know the exact path/filenames. After poking around a bit, it seems that read & write permissions vary among apps. Most apps have full permissions reserved for the parent app. Some allow other apps/user to read some files, and read+write others. (The permissions being app-specific, if it can't be done by command line, I doubt it could be done by creating an app, either.)

So, what is the game? Perhaps I can do some exploring.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0n0:
If you have the old bootloader (2.3.2 i think) you can boot a recovery without flashing. From you computer use "adb boot recovery.img" and boot clockwork recovery. From there you can mount and access the filysystems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slerbal:
Thanks I figured as much. The game is Dungeon Hunter 2 and essentially I am trying to implement a simple fix to make my save game work again (the fix is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042675 a few posts down) but it requires root. So I do know the exact paths and filename.

Thank you for your helpful answer :-)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
Ok, I'm not having any luck here, and it's pissing me off. FYI, I don't have that game, so I'm testing it with Angry Birds. I can read and copy the file just fine, but I can't modify it without using root. The data file itself has read/write access, but the containing folder (files/) is read-only, so	I can't overwrite the file after I've modified it. Since the file itself has r/w access, I wonder if it would work to modify the file directly, instead of using an outside program to modify it then overwriting it. (I'm a bit ignorant of the finer points of linux permissions.) This would require an app that would allow you to open and modify a file by typing the full path & filename, instead of just browsing the directory tree. You could also try < adb pull /data/data/com.gameloft.android.TBFV.GloftD2HP.ML/files/dh2_000.savegame dh2_000.savegame > (using the correct path, if that's not it). Then see if < adb push dh2_000.savegame /data/data/com.gameloft.android.TBFV.GloftD2HP.ML/files/dh2_000.savegame > works. The fact that you can copy the file out is promising, anyway. So even if you had to root, you could backup the file before rooting wipes everything, then fix it & back it up after you had root.

Btw, what version of Android are you on?

Edit: I think I'm getting somewhere. While you can't modify the file itself, you can modify the file contents. So something like this might work: < adb shell >

< more /sdcard/dh2_000.savegame > /data/data/com.gameloft.android.TBFV.GloftD2HP.ML/files/dh2_000.savegame >

So the next step is to get some help from someone who has the game and is rooted as to the exact path to the savegame file. Once we have that, I think we're golden. (Or, let me know if adb pull works with the path I guessed at.)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slerbal:
wow! Thank you for your help :)

In answer to your questions: my Nexus s is running 2.3.4 and you are correct about the file path (many other kind xda users died to bring us those paths ;) ) is /data/data/com.gameloft.android.TB with the filename being dh2_000.savegame

I don't want to drive you to distraction! If I could back it up I probably would go ahead then and root the phone given how complexplaying with a non-rooted phone is!

I will try the adb pull method and let you know how I get on.

Thank you again for your help and for showing me why I probably do want to root!
