Try this and report back:

Here i am assuming u have adb installed on ur pc/laptop

take ur device battery out and insert it back.

while long pressing volume down press power button untill u see a menu with 3 androids at the bottom.

now select fastboot option and connect via USB. now u will see fastboot usb or something like that.

now open cmd and enter the path to ur adb folder . for example in my case my folder is in my c drive and i enter

cd\
cd android-sdk-windows\tools\

place the recovery.img in adb's tool folder.

Now enter following (this is after u navigated to the adb's tool folder)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

If all went right, so u have the custom recovery (clockworkmod recovery) on the device or if not please post here , we will try help u again
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
download the recovery again and try. It is a simple problem. Reuploaded de recovery and deleted "adb wait for device" command line because it keeps waiting endlesly. I forgot to delete before, sorry about that. :)

try it and tell me how it goes
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
@jitin02 it is simpler than that I already eliminated the adb command and should work with no issues. Recovery reuploaded!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
It works and wifi too!

Thaks @jitin02 and @jaggyjags it works!!!! so nice!!

now how can I install de superuser?

Where and how i have to put that :

adb push bash /system/bin

adb push profile /system/bin

adb push su /system/bin

adb push busybox /system/xbin

adb push su /system/xbin

I have the superuser folder in the same directory of adb, an then?

Can u help me again?

Thank u very much!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Easy, put it in the Microsd card and then open recovery in the 3 android menu (pressing -volume and power for 10 seconds after taking and placing battery). install it with the "install zip from sd" option and select your .Zip

confirm it moving up and down with volume keys
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] :
It works perfectly and wifi too! Thank u so much again!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hoangps:
U can share for me back up this rom?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Don't understand, sorry. what rom do you mean?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ByPixel:
Everything worked perfectly on my Italian/Vodafone HTC explorer!

No need to create any partition on my SD card to move apps using Link2SD. Is it advisable to do so?

I moved many useless vodafone apps on SD, wanting an European custom rom ;)

Thanks so much!

How to set s-off ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Not possible yet
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Dhiraj:
Then is it possible to install custom Rom without s-off ?

I like Miui and CM . I am using non rooted phone. Recently I found that there is no chance to get ics upgrade for it . Galaxy ace has almost same features as explorer, although explorer has more ram than ace . But our phone has very less support than others , may be due to not so old . Hope you can develop a popular Rom for us . Thanks in advance.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
yes, unlocking bootloader is not the same level of security as s-off

some things are not permitted without s-off (dont ask me what things in particular)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] harikp6247:
Should I need the step 3 if i only want to root the phone and not going to flash any custom rom?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
yes, If you continue reading you fill find out you will have to install 'superuser.zip' through recovery to root the phone.

Hi, i'm new and i have a htc explorer

i want to root it but i firstly have a question... if i want to return to the stock, not stock rom but to return whitout root how to di it??

because this smartphone is new and i don't want to invalidate the warranty!!

Thanks for the tutorial!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Imposible

Unlocking bootloader ends ups the warranty. And that is the first step of the tutorial.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ic3141:
Hi there!

Followed the instruction thanks, managed to install recovery. However, reading the NOTE before rooting (before installing superuser) i did a factory reset on my phone. BIG MISTAKE! looked on the htc screen. So for avoiding this whoever wants to root their phone, make sure you deal with factory resets before starting process:)

KR
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] kayak#12:
ok thanks jaggy, but i have a new question...

here:

Step 9

You will see a long block of text. Copy and paste this text into the the token field below (in the command prompt: Right Click > Mark > highlight the block of text > Right click to copy).

You will see one of the following two screens:

Step 10

Paste this string of text into the token field and hit Submit in order to receive your unlock code binary file. You will receive this information in your email.

when i get the long block of text from the cmd and i submit it what i have to do to unlock bootloader??

and why i need htc sync?

thanks:o
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
you will receive an email with the attached file and a link fot the rest of instructions.

htc sync is needed to "communicate" with the phone. If not the commands you send are not understood by the computer.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] bedazzledaliz:
please help me

I bought a new HTC explorer phone and rooted the phone as per you instructions in first post of this thread. Everything went good but after rooting I wiped sd partition and cache in recovery menu and rebooted my phone. Since then my phone is stuck on HTC boot screen (i.e Green colour HTC logo with white background). It is stuck there and not proceeding further. I also tried factory reset my phone from recovery menu but nothing is happening. Whenever I start my phone it remains stuck on that HTC screen. Please help me out!!??:confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
It is all explained on the tutorial. You have to install a custom or stock Rom.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] bedazzledaliz:
Thanks but once more your kind help needed

Thanks a million for your quick reply!!!! Well I went to the link of your custom rom and the page showed download links and instructions. However I am a bit unclear regarding the instructions there. As you know my phone is stuck on startup screen, so for installing this custom ROM do I just need to do the following steps:

1) Keep the customrom.zip file in my sd card.

2) Start my phone in recovery mode (by pressing power and volume down button)

3) Select install zip from sd card

4) Choose zip from SD card

5) and then select the file from sd card and then some process will begin like when installing superuser file...

Please guide me that are above steps all that I have to do or some other things also for installing custom ROM? Also I am unclear on when and how to partition sd card using mini tool partition wizard. (as my sole purpose for flashing my new HTC explorer was to overcome low internal storage problem)

Your early response will be highly appreciated :) Thanks
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Yep, those are the steps.

And to do the partition there is an option in recovery that makes it automatically (no swap needed).

Just bare in mind recovery method to partition will erase EVERY content from your sd card, so make a backup.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] racerronny:
hey,

i have rooted my phone as per your instructions

but i have one question...

if in future i wish to UNROOT the phone for warranty purpose

how can i do it?????

can u plz give me a step-by-step instructions for UNROOTING process

i would really appreciate that...

thanx in advance!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Impossible, you have no longer got warranty on your phone. I should have made this clear. I think it is clearly stated on htcdev.com dough... :rolleyes:

Partitioning not working

Thanks Jaggyjags for your previous reply.. With your support I have successfully installed your custom rom and working fine.. No more white screen problem :) but the main problem of low internal storage still persists:confused:

I created 1 gb partition with 0 mb swap size using recovery menu before flashing the custom rom...it also said "Partitioning Done" status.. My 4gb memory card shows 3 gb now but when the phone started the a2sdgui app and other apps says something like "no sd ext (partition) found" . Also after flashing custom ROM I again created 1 gb partition from recovery menu and it says done but again no sd card partition is detected. The sad part is that now my internal memory is just 60 MB !!! I also tried to move dalvik cache but as I earlier said that there is no sd card partition created so it wont move dalvik cache..!! Please help me out how to partition sd card in htc explorer and how to use that partition !!! Please Jaggyjags if you can provide me step by step details so I can overcome low internal storage problem.??? Thanks
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
After making the partition go in recovery make a factory reset and install the rom.

Partition the sdcard through recovery is perfectly fine.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] bedazzledaliz:
Thanks and 2 small queries

Ok I will do that again but I have two queries in my mind:

1) After I make partition, factory reset and install custom ROM , Should I factory reset again after installing custom ROM or just reboot the phone??

2) What Swap size should I use and will all the apps move automatically to the ext partition?

Once again thanks:)

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

And do I have to wipe cache etc i.e full wipe after performing partitioning and factory reset?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] bedazzledaliz:
When I performed factory reset following error occured

When I performed partitioning it said done.. After that when i performed wipe data/factory reset it said no app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext...error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure..

skipping format...

Data wipe complete.

Please help me out
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Factory reset before or after making the partition. Not necessary to do it after installing the rom. (but DO IT! If it's the first time installing this rom on your phone).

Swap not needed

Don't need no wipe anything more from then on. Every new update I upload just install it over it and that's it.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Because you haven't installed the recovery with ext support that I have in this tutorial (I guess)

Check for the 'ext support by yannou90 in green letters at the background in recovery.

Google Apps missing

Hi,

I bought a new HTC Explorer from a reliable source over eBay (eCell), and to my surprise, it has no Google Apps (gapps.apk) and has Superuser app. Am I right in saying that this phone is rooted?

Additionally, how can I get a copy of gapps.apk and install them without reflashing the ROM?

Thanks,

Rob
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
I am pretty sure it is rooted. Beware that having superuser installed doesn't mean that it is. Maybe someone returned to them after rooting it.

Get superuser.zip, add any apk inside system/app folder and flash it.

Check if you have the recovery installed, If not flash it, or follow the full tutorial if you haven't got an unlocked bootloader..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] racerronny:
unroot

Okay....no matter if the warranty is void...

but what should i do if in future i wish to unroot it???

there must be something...plz help...

for samsung phones, its so easy to root & unroot

i need the unroot process for our htc too...

plz...

i would really appreciate the help...

thnx in advance
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
I builded stock roms but are also rooted.

http://www.mediafire.com/?qwr4n3phnfr4a

To unroot them is simple. delete these files drom the zip: superuser.apk from system/app and su binary from /system/bin/su before flashing the rom in your phone.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] racerronny:
Thnx a lot...!!!

btw r these stocks roms made by you the official stock roms that come preloaded in our phones?

& r these the latest version roms of their respective regions???
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
exactly, but they are not the latest. There are more updates but those have been extracted from the latest

leaked

RUU available.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] racerronny:
So in case these are not the latest stock roms of their respective regions,

would i be able to recieve the latest updates over wifi from the htc server

if i flash your provided stock roms??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
I am not sure, I think you could if you CID matches with the one in the rom. For example, If your phone was from a carrier and you installed the stock, carrier-free rom it wont update.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] racerronny:
actually m currently using my preloaded asian rom

which is carrier lock free by default...

so could u plz tell me what does this CID exactly mean?

is it like the IMEI no. of a phone that differs for every single piece?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
CID, stands for "Carrier IDentification" and it's

a little number that restricts which software can be installed on a

phone. The CID determines for example, that only an officially-signed

T-Mobile radio can be installed on a T-Mobile phone. And it's why you

can't flash a Vodafone ROM onto a chineese Explorer. (Ruu.exe roms I mean, or phones updates)

It's not unique to your phone, but to the carrier and/or an specific territory.

If yur phone is carrier free I suppose your phone has the chineese CID and could update automatically. But I am not sure and am not responsible if it finally doesn't.

I've heard of ways of changing a devices CID, but can't tell you much about them as I haven't tried myself.

Thanks Alot jaggyjags

I just want to thanks mr jaggyjags. i just root my htc explorer and it is working like a charm :D m very much happy thanks Alot for this usefull post

I was also going to root it with JaggyRom but I don't have a good memory card and can't find any card above Class 4. How did you install the ROM?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Rhadamanthis:
i confirm, the steps are simple. my pico rooted and unlocked!!!! Thank's jaggy
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Comrade General:
Yesterday I got a new unlocked HTC Explorer. I am new to Android.

So I wanted to root and add a custom ROM. I've Googled the advantages and disadvantages. I've made up my mind to install a custom ROM.

So after some search I found JaggyRom. So I came to know that I have to unlock my phone's bootloader first to install the custom ROM. So I followed this tutorial by you.

1. I've installed the HTC Sync on the PC.

2. Unlocked the phone's bootloader.

3. Added a recovery too.

After this I stopped because the Note said:

I don't have a memory card at the moment. I mean a Class 6 or a Class 10 memory card. I've searched all the market here but couldn't find one.

According to your chart I need to have a faster memory card.

The red bars are the ones which are not working properly with this ROM. So any suggestion how to install this or some other ROM? I'm confused. I wanted to overclock my phone. Is memory card of class 6 and above necessary?

Also please tell that what are the uses of making partitions on a memory card? What happens if we don't make one? Does it work in the same way as a computer hard disk?

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Rhadamanthis:
SanDisk Mobile Ultra Micro SDHC 16 GB with SD adapter 30 MB/s Classe 6

Samsung Micro SD HC 8GB/32GB classe 10
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Comrade General:
I searched for them but couldn't find any. There is one but it's just too expensive. Double the price. :/ Isn't there any other way?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
'600' version will work on nearly any sd class, don't worry.

Follow the first time guide to install the rom. Link on rom thread

If you don't make the partition apps will install on internal memory as a normal phone does.

I made the table that guarantees the compatibility. But that's is mainly relevant to overclocked, I just wanted to be sure about compatibility.

One step of the guide is to make a full backup with recovery so you are safe just in case.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Comrade General:
Oh now I get it! So I can just install the ROM in a normal way without any high speed memory card. I wanted to over clock to 800 MHz, but I would need a faster memory card for that. Seems I would have to search for one ASAP.

I need more speed. Phone can get laggy at times.

Btw thanks a lot. I'll update once it's done. :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Try my rom and enjoy ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Comrade General:
Will do it first thing in the morning. ;)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Comrade General:
I followed that tutorial for the people who are rooting for the first time. I followed some of his steps. I've rooted my phone. He told me to wait till I get a new memory card.

I just wanted to say that ever since I've rooted, some apps have become unstable.

Like Twitter app and sometimes Google Play too. I can't copy paste anymore. Why is that happening?

Backin up stock rom

hey...can i backup my current asian stock rom

of htc pico using rom manager???

is there any danger of bricking the phone in the process?

plz help...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Sure, if you have the recovery from this tutorial you won't have problems.

Don't install recovery from rom manager, ir hasn't got EXT support.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] racerronny:
ookk i have the recovery mentioned by u in the post

now by using rom manager can i backup the rom?

else can u plzz provide a step-by-step guide to

backup my current asian rom so that i can reflash it???

Any suggestions about unrooting and flashing a stock ruu? I use your rom, tried to flash couple of ruu's but fails each time, signature verification failure.

Thanks
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
only way is installing stock rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1569430

it is rooted, so you have to delete supersuper.apk from app folder and "ru" file from /bin folder.

open the zip and delete those files.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ic3141:
Thanks,

But there is no ru file on the /bin folder. I flashed WWE Europe, still rooted. If unroot would i be able to use RUU?

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

Assumed is the su file. Deleted, flashed. But i'm still able to get to recovery mode and RUU wont work. Error 155. I suppose is the radio img, cause your rom radio is 1.10.80.14M3 wherea ruu is 13M2?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Dhiraj:
i am going to root my htc explorer, but i have a doubt that without using unofficial rom is it possible to get full wifi support after unlock and root the device.pl. advice.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ps298:
Yes. It is. As jaggy says in the first post, rooting does not change anything in the phone except for allowing root access therefore allowing you to use cool root only apps. everything will work exactly the way it did before if you do it correctly.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] h4r5h:
Hey guys,

Ok so a friend of mine has given me the task of rooting his explorer. And though I am well aware of the whole process in the Samsung phones, it seems like a whole different territory in the HTC phones. :eek:

Anyways, so I followed the tutorial mentioned in this thread, and so far I've managed the 1st and 2nd steps. However, I am stuck in the 3rd step (i.e. Adding a recovery) and I'd really appreciate any help whatsoever! :)

Thanks in advance. :)

C:\A310E Recovery>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

^Here's the error that I'm getting. The "image update error" part!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Are you sure you've unlocked correctly the bootloader?

Check on fastboot menu you can read "unlocked" over the hboot and radio versions. It should work.

Try downloading recovery again just in case.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] h4r5h:
^Yup it says "*** UNLOCKED ***" at the top of the screen, so I guess I've got that part right!

And yeah, tried downloading the recovery once again, even tried to copy paste the .img to the adb folder and run it manually, still getting the same error. :(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
Are you able to test it on another computer?

It looks like it's a problem with the phone but.. You are the first to report this problem..:confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] h4r5h:
^Unfortunately no, it won't be possible to test it on another system atm. :( Any other solution/suggestions?

By the way, I did manage to unlock the bootloader, so don't you think that the drivers have been installed properly in this system as well. :confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
What phone are you trying to root?

This is only for htc explorer A310e

There is a problem with your phone so I think it's something related to incorrect phone model.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] h4r5h:
^Yeah mate, I am definitely in the right thread. Just checked the model number once again, it's "HTC Explorer A310e"!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
No more ideas I am afraid. Of You unlocked bootloader you should have all drivers installed. The only thing I could try is using another computer :(

help me i m in trouble :(

i unlocked the bootloader, but it doesnt reboot!!

just stuck in bootloop

any ideas?

Install a stock Rom. This should fix it. It is alteadt rooted. Or the jaggyrom..
