Alright im new here to xda forums. Forgive me if I posted this in the wrong section.I just got a free a new ascend for metro pcs. I'm happy cause I want to root and take advantage of custom Roms without risking my good mt4g and now I have a pretty Much worthless phone I van abuse >:D. Here's my problem now. My phone is running 2.2.2 and I've downloaded z4root 1.30 like all the threads say I should do. I have debugging on and all that stuff set to the right settings. Now whenever I try to root, after about 40 seconds the app returns me to my homescreen unrooted and when I try to access it again it says app isn't spawning and it force closes. Then I can't access the app again unless I reboot. When I tap the app icon nothing happens.

Ok I've rebooted my phone countless times and nothing changes. I've tried installing the app and no luck either. (But sometimes instead of going back to homescreen it stays at "running exploit" and beverages changes) I've also tried visionary and that does work either.... I've done factory resets and it doesn't make a difference. Temp root and permanent root both dont work. Someone help please and thnx for trying in advanced.

lol i got you

i ran into the same frustrating issue. z4 should work but instead it reboots with no effect or loops the su exploit till you reset. two days,100 threads (all pointing to z4) and about 1000 thread pages i finally found the issue and the solution idk why (z4 must be outdated or something but it does NOT work for the ascend M860 running 2.2 froyo) what you need is gingerbreak-v1.20.apk i installed on my ascend and within 10 minutes or so viola it was rooted. note the phone i used was from metro pcs NOT cricket. if your with cricket i have no idea weather or not this will work. but it definitely works on the metro ascend. hope i helped clear up this extreemly frustrating issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] celtixfan34:
Lol its funny i just now realised what the issue was. Every thread i saw said z4 for 2.2 os but all the posts were from about 6 months prior to the actual date z.4 is the early and unofficial update to 2.2 froyo jus like gingerbreak goes from 2.2 froyo to 2.3 gingerbread as the phone is discontinued, this is THE unoficial and only update for the M860

On my sensation stock, it has to be for work, when and if I hit the back button and the home button in that order my phone takes a screen shot. Sometimes all I have to do is hit the home key. Help me. Make it stop.
[HTC Sensation] laidbackfreak:
Mine did that following the update too, I couldnt wok out how to turn it off. So I did quick reboot and it stopped.

I'm sure there is a setting somewhere for it, but I was too impatient to try and find it.
[HTC Sensation] croakthedj:
There's gotta be a fix
[HTC Sensation] albuntu:
I also had this one, but after a reboot it stopped. Usualy you get this functionality by pressing Power+Home. :-)

And as far as I know there is nothing that can be configured.

is there an app that will change my phone number to what ever i want? my sister says she has a friend that has it on his htc but she doesnt know what its called and i was just wonder if there was something like that?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Aaron McCarthy:
its probably an HTC android phone... and its likely a VOIP app... I dont think there's any way to broadcast a different number when calling out using your regular cellular service. You can BLOCK your number! :P

I could be totally wrong and someone can chime in here if I am.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andylam123:
will my sister said she was playing with the phone and it can pretend to be any number but she says she doesnt know the name XD
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] drukqsMORA:
Damn.. I remember back in the g1 days I used a apparently that I could put what ever number I wanted to show up on the persons caller id. And it would let me change my voice to a high pitch or low or just normal. If I find it ill let you know.

So after hours of searching, trying different ones, this IMG WORKS!

Successfully went from 2.3.3 to 2.2.1. In case you're having root issues/etc

Turn fastboot off, place on root of SD, reboot holding volume down, let it check the IMG, select Yes, let it go...

Holy mother of god. Probably not the response you expected, but somehow that fixed my multi-hour, dozens of thread-reading, hundreds and hundreds of posts sorting through adb connection problem.

After downgrade I used Bubby's method and it worked great! Easy to use too
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmogram:
Fastboot? root of SD? Huh??

Ok... so I'm more tech savvy than the average bear but I'm not a hacker or even a programmer. And I don't know what these terms mean!

Is there somewhere in the forum (or elsewhere) I can go to learn how to turn off fastboot and what it means to place an IMG on the root of the SD?

I am sure this is a super-noob question for this level of forum but I'm a bit lost and NEED to root my phone so I can tether it with T-Mobile service which will end up being my only internet access which I desperately need for my business. I found "bubby's" one-click method to root with this YouTube video as a walkthrough (S0sQFoS_m_8) and following a link there, I found this to downgrade my OS first.

I know it is a pain when noobs ask questions that seem to be answerable with a simple Google search but the more I search the more I go down the rabbit hole and I'm hoping someone can help me out. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] mburke178:
ok i'm using taboonay 2.0 with Thor's 3.0 kernel. I can see all the files on my SD card through root explorer and if i take the card out and hook it up to my pc. My question is why when i plug my iconia into my PC i can see the card, but can't see any files on it? Wasn't 3.2 supposed to fix this or it something on my end? haven't tried to reformat it cause it isn't a big issue to me just trying to figure out why.
[Acer Iconia A500] neyenlives:
i have sorta similar issue. I can access sdcard in root explorer or other apps, but if i pop it out it get interesting. I can still browse the sdcard contents in any file explorer even though i am holding it in my hand. Also i have not been able to access the sdcard from the latest clockwork recovery. The only directory there is LOST. So i take it to the pc and same thing, only the LOST directory, pop it back in the tablet, fire it up, browse to /sdcard directory, all the files i have downloaded are right there still along with that LOST directory......

So i cant flash anything now. Tried reflashing CWR from the Acer Recovery Installer, no progress. Tried formatting sdcard on pc using the tool in the sticky, same thing, cannot access sdcard in CWR.

Help.

**update: so here's what i found, apparently there is a directory called sdcard on my tab that is actually local system memory. It has all my downloaded files in it. I mounted the tablet with USB to my pc and moved one of the files to the sdcard(which is empty by the way, everything is going to the local ram for some reason) and rebooted into recovery and then it showed up in CWR!

So all this time my tablet has been syncing my google music beta music for offline use, around 10 gigs of it, and it dumped it all on the local memory so now im almost out of ram.....with an empty sdcard.....great

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamDSx:
Hello guys,

I have recently acquired an X8. I have an x10 mini which I sucessfully flashed to a generic stock 1.6, I had to do this because my carrier does not allow updates via SEUS, and they wanted to charge me for it.

Anyway, I´ve been searching the forums, and I havent been able to find generic 1.6 firmware, and if I did, the details werent clear so I didnt realize that is what I was looking for.

Can anyone give me a hand here? any bookmarks laying around that can guide me to what I need? The tuts for X10 mini are more than clear, I am already familiarized with all the tools and procedures, just need a darn firmware!

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Sorry, thought I was on Q&A not development. If someone can move it I´d appreciate it, the downside of multiple tabs :(

I was wondering if anyone one would be interested in me making a various picture\step how to tutorials upon request. To help the noobs and to help me learn better I'd like create more tutorials based on what people are in need of. That way when a new rom comes out all a Dev needs to do is link to tutorial threads thus saving space and time.

if this is something people would be interested in let me know.

[Droid 2 Global General] vinvam:
Hello all,

I'm planning on picking up a D2G locally to use on AT&T. So let me get this straight:

1) Buy D2G locally.

2) Flash with 2.4.29 SBF using RSD Lite.

3) I would need to unlock the phone. Can I do this without having an active Verizon account to activate the phone? I realize I can get the code from various resellers but would the phone need to be active on Verizon's network or just previously activated on Verizon's network?

4) Apply the edit cellzealot specified here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16572174&postcount=22

At this point I should be able to use it on AT&T.

5) From what I read I should be able to install and use non-Moto ROMs.

My biggest questions are with steps 3 and 5. Could anyone clarify those steps for me? Is there anything else I should know? Any fixes for the reception issues?

Thanks!

Thanks, warlord002! I read a post mentioning that update.zip but didn't really look into it. Using the update.zip makes this whole thing a ton easier. :D

[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
If you're lucky, and the purchased code works, you just input it and that's all.
[Droid 2 Global General] vinvam:
Sweet, thanks for the help guys.

The phone isn't for me so I'll need a stable, functional ROM. I mean stock's always an option, but if there are better ROMs out there that are just as functional I'd rather use one of those. Suggestions?

Can you please explain step two for someone that is new at cdma phone hacking.
[Droid 2 Global General] vinvam:
Picking up a D2G tomorrow morning. Are there any updates regarding gingerbread and the old radio? Any GB based ROMs out?

Also any websites that can give me the correct unlock code? Seems like its hit or miss for the most part and only Verizon has them forsure. I guess I'll have to do some social engineering and get that code from them somehow.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Well, JFYI: if you're on AT&T, you aren't getting Gingerbread.

Otherwise, Gingerbread update was called off and will be released later (“soon™”).

There is the update.zip from that OTA update, which can be installed.

There are some ROMs in development, but not production ready yet (at least on GSM).

Have fun with your social engineering, mostly because VZW wants you to be on a contract for at least 6 months to get the code.
[Droid 2 Global General] vinvam:
Yeah I guess I'll stick with Froyo for the timebeing.

The social engineering is failing pretty hard. Tried at least 10 reps through different numbers and they all tell me the phone needs to be active on a line. My best bet now is to add some cash to the deal and ask the seller (vzw customer) to have it unlocked for me.
[Droid 2 Global General] vinvam:
Many reps are telling me they can't even generate the code if the phone isnt active on their network. How true that is I don't know...
[Droid 2 Global General] vinvam:
Picked up a D2G a few hours ago. The seller was nice enough to get the unlock code for me from Verizon!

SBFed to .29, rooted, bootstrapped, radio patched, and flashed to hexen all in an hour or so. No issues whatsoever. The D2G's running great on AT&T so far! :D

Pls guys help me! I've just bought MY D2G from ebay, seller send my unlock code from verizon, I put it.. but when I inserted my new t-mobile sim, phone couldn't see any GSM network.. i flashed it already to 2.4.29, so what should I do next?

PLS help me, i really like this phone and dont wanna change it to another..
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Check here - one more thing to do before you can get T-Mobile on your D2G. Remember you will not be able to get 3G - only GSM, but it will work nicely (and battery life will be great). Don't forget to set the phone to GSM only in the settings - so it doesn't waste power to look for a 3G compatible network all the time.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Apparently you can rip out the radio firmware from TBH's 4.5.606 and still install it via CWM; it works with 2.4.330's baseband.

The question is whether it's possible to make a 2.4.330 update that also doesn't touch the radio firmware, so you could flash 2.4.29 SBF, update to 2.4.330 and then 4.5.606 without touching the baseband, and thus gain Gingerbread with AT&T.
[Droid 2 Global General] timma100:
Going through the exact same process! But I can't unlock my phone, I bought it on ebay, the seller said it was unlocked but its not. I tried two of the unlock sim sites with no luck -$20 and two non functioning codes :(.. Is there anyway to unlock my phone?

Only via Verizon.

Just install one of the many custom gingerbread roms once its rooted, you never have to take on ota to update your phone, thats the best part of rooting, once its rooted upgrade or downgrade your os when ever you want, i rooted on 2.2 still have the eng bootloader and im running the most packed sense gingerbread roms for the shift its almost 3.0
[EVO Shift 4G General] benutne:
Yeah I will probably keep the stock ROM for a while with only a very basic root. I can ignore the OTA as long as I want, right? I won't wake up one day with 2.3 installed without my permission will I?

No, you'll have to manually accept the update. There's actually a way to turn off the ota notification, its just been so long since I've used a Sense ROM I don't remember exactly where it is in settings.

Well I'm sure I will decide to flash a ROM but for now I think I'll just get used to the phone as close to stock as I can. Thanks for the info about the OTA. I think I figured out how to keep it from checking for updates.

Just go to settings/system updates/ htc software update/ turn off automatic system check

Just root, then flash a rooted version of the stock 2.3.3 ROM. Then you have the latest stock and perm root.

Yup. This is what I did.
