Panic Over

I have finally managed to root this phone using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18_2. At first I was getting a whole raft of "permissions denied" messages. I then went through them and it dawned on me that the permissions on the RwRestore folder on my Linux Mint 14 box needed fixing. After the first 100 years I understand everything immediately:p:p:p Once that was done it was plain sailing. Mission accomplished.

Do you actually have a boot image? i'm not sure with this type of phone, however from my laymens perspective it seems like either the SD card can't be written on or the boot.img doesn't exist, try re-flashing boot.img if you can.

Stuck on boot? Bricked? What's happening here?

I've had my S3 for a long time but only recently attempted to root / flash the phone...the root went fine and I sat on my zips for a minute before deciding to flash. Flashed today (ChameleonOS), loaded the boot screen then more of the same forever. **Here's where I think I messed up**** So...things weren't working and I did another recovery mode but, like an idiot, thought maybe because there were so many versions it was just too complex and decided to attempt to flash ANOTHER rom instead, which is now stuck on the boot screen too.; Halp..please....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] M_T_M:
Best solution mate....enter recovery-wipe everything-format card-flash a base rooted rom-enter recovery-wipe twice-flash custom rom ;)

Also...once you flash your new rom....do not flash a custom kernel right away without first researching some basic info :)

samsung galazy exhibit 4g sd card error

i have rooted and installed cyanogenomod 10.1 to my android Samsung exhibit 4g. it all worked just fine, except for the pesky sd card. it shows that it is mounted. But will not allow me to access music or any files to it. one of the members directed me to the AOIP 1.0. which I downloaded. But my sd card doesn't show that it is on there in recovery mod in order for me to install it, which if history taught me anything, it is tha this means that I need a different version. Which I can't find. I love cyanogenmod 10.1. but I have to be able to access my files. any one have any suggestions?

Help needed here experts!

I have a rooted HTC One S S4 version, JB 4.1.1 Stock (Updated via OTA), Bootloader Unlocked, S-On, Custom Recovery TWRP.

HBOOT is 2.15, Software version 3.16.666.9, AND ---- CID = BM_001 (Bell Mobility)----

Rooted using Hasoon's AIO tool.

Okay here's the thing.

- There's no RUU for the Carrier for JellyBean, Just an OTA which is 600MB + . File name is

OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_BM_3.16.666.9_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_308167fun0bzhoz2tch0mh

- This gets me into a problem, that is I cannot flash any stock recovery or firmware. Correct if I'm wrong.

- The OTA Zip has, although, firmware.zip and recovery.zip inside. It was on the repository linked in a HTC One S Development forums stickied thread.

Is there no way, other than S-offing then downgrading HBOOT then running older RUU then running OTA, to flash a stock ROM?

Thanks

ZTE Flash N9500 to Ting Mobile with HTC Evo 4G Donor

Hey folks,

I have an HTC EVO 4G currently active on Ting, everything works perfectly. Everything with the service that... My phone is dying one me and I would like to use thie device as a donor for a new Sprint ZTE Flash N9500.

I have been up and down the forums on the web trying to apparently be the first person to work with this phone.

So far I have been able to use DFS/QXDM and/or CDMA to change everything but the ESN and MEID on the N9500, of course copying all relevant settings from the active Evo. I have the AAA and HA keys and think I'm doing everything right, but I can simply not get the permissions to write the ESN/MEID to the device, and it is driving me mad.

I would be more than grateful if anyone had any tips or advice - I'll try most anything at this point.

In gratitude.

New to Modifying Android phone

Hello everyone,

I am from Pakistan. I am new to this stuff, (root, flashing, custom roms etc). I dont know a single thing about it. but i have to root and update my Qmobile Noir A8 from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.2. Custom Rom S4 for A8 is available at INCPak-Dotcom (This is a Flash-able Zip file that can be flashed only from ClockWorkMod Recovery -CWMR ) and i really think installing this Rom on my phone will help me with better speed and features. but i have some questions, please someone answer me. I will be grateful. :)

1. My phone is in Warranty. I want a method that if needed, i can come back to Factory SW version to claim warranty. Can anyone check above Stock ROM and suggest if i could come back to factory version SW if needed? are their any softwares needed for this purpose or what?

Just a little help with rooting my phone please! I think i'm almost there...

Hi,

I've just spent the last few days attempting to root my phone - most of it has been dead-ends, but I've made an amount of progress that actually surprises me! But I've come to this forum in an attempt to jump (hopefully) my last hurdle.

My phone is a HTC Sensation XE (Beats Audio), Android version 4.0.3, HBoot version 1.27.0000.

I bought it a little over a year ago from AmazonUK, with the SIM already unlocked. But other than that, I believe it was completely stock.

Now, over the past few days my primary goal was to root my phone, so far I've managed to unlock the bootloader with HTCDev, S-Off using the wire trick and (I think) perform a successful flash recovery with the clockwork recovery .img file - not sure if the recovery did work or not though, because it didn't actually install anything on boot-up... which I think it was meant to, wasn't it? I need some enlightening on this please :)

Anyway, these processes I've done have come from all different sources on the web, purely because nowhere has a solid system that completely works for me! either something is the wrong version, or its out of date, or it doesn't work with my phone for some obscure reason. However, I've made it this far and am now stuck with getting my phone finally rooted! I'm not sure if it's to do with a failed recovery or something, but could someone point me in the right direction or at least some sort of direction so I can say if I've already tried it or if it actually works, please!

Thank you!! :D

Note 3 VZW factory unlocked with no contract, goodby razr maxx

Well its time to say after 2 yrs thanks from the bottom of my heart folks. Your hard work made my XT-912's bearable and I learned a great deal from you all. It was a heck of a journey and im very thankful to the big and small contributions by everyone to allow the distance these razr maxxs' could go but I must be moving on my fight is over and before I knew it VZW granted me 2 new edge Note 3's factory unlocked no upgrade fees on a month to month truly global piece of hardware. I dont know what to say maxxs out handed unlocked notes from VZW without a 2 yr with an apology. Finally I have what I was after with the Maxxs' and truly an upgrade. 64G ext, expansion totally mine no bloat no bootloader nightmares and I can now enjoy owning my equipment just like that? Im so baffled the fight ended so unexpectedly I havent even thought what I want to do with them. I suppose the fight to own my equipment and do as I pleased in the end meant more then winning. So on to tinker and truly enjoy the technology globally without sim issues or superuser, webtop, golf, voice mic, flash player, christmas leak and a batakang utility belt with more programs on it then colors in the pride flag. I just want to frame the things and wink at them all day, I wished VZW had autographed their gifts because I will remember this road and all Ive learned from you guys always. Again, Thanks for easing that set of quills in my shorts but I think its time to simply enjoy my very own equipment and for once allow a program just for a giggle. :) Take care VZW Moto-blur-maxx-google-partner company xt912 bretheren.

Ringtone is always changing to default (Backroad)

I have a strange problem and I cannot solve it. every time when I am called, immediately the ringtone changes, from the one it have set, to 'Backroad', which is an awful ringtone. I rooted my phone so I could delete or rename the file backroad.ogg to something else and make a copy of another ringtone and rename it to backroad.ogg, but this action was refused. I used ES File Explorer with root access for it.

How can I solve this? Thanks for your cooperation!

I partially solved it. What I did not know is that for ES File Exporer you also have to activate RW permission in ES File Exporer itself (apart from root access of course). So now I renamed Backroad.ogg and made a copy of another ringtone and renamed it to Backroad.ogg.

I also came along the explanation of the file build.prop and default.prop, but I am not eager to change them. I have no explanation why my own settings on the phone are not persistent and are changed the moment I am called to the settings in build.prop.
