did as you said ....I checked storrage information in link2sd..my 2nd partition was me full..by my internal space just went down to 0mb ..I checked in internal memory using root explorer and there are no apps(except system) by in /data/app there were all my apps..I did an experiment by deleting an app from there bt it failed 2 start from menu..and when I'm uninstalling an app from settings then also it gets removed permanently...damn it man...my brain is getting fried...I think me I should just uninstall every app and reinstall them..! why do u think this is happening?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] jaggyjags:
yes, the only way I made it to do it correctly is installing them from the first time and enable auto link with install location in automatic..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
woohoo

Wooohoo.. rooted my phone successfully.. jaggyjags you rock man \m/

furthermore did setup titanium backup and link2sd perfectly too.. Here is some info I found while I was researching.. This might help another first timer ;)

While unlocking bootloader in HTC phones, HTC has mentioned required resources as - Google Android SDK zip

Java Runtime Environment

HTC Sync (Windows Only)

In addition to this, Android SDK needs latest JAVA SDK installed too.. So make sure you download that before.. While going through this rooting process I made sure I had all the required software.

Now about setting up Link2sd, I found these steps helpful.. Found them on some forum..

Backup everything on the SD card, I suggest using Titanium Backup. Make sure there is a backup not on the SD card (like on your hard drive)

Connect your Optimus V to your computer and mount the SD card.

Resize the partition, I used Minitool Partition Wizard, leave 1-2gb of free space.

Create a new FAT32 partition with the free space, mark it as primary.

Disconnect your Optimus V and reboot it.

Download and install Link2sd if you have not done so already.

Run Link2sd, it will tell you it needs to reboot to mount the second partition.

Run Link2sd, it will list all apps it can move and tell you which ones are currently on the SD. It can't do anything with the apps on the SD already.

Inside Link2sd select an app to link to your sd.

If your app is on your internal memory select Create Link.

If your app is on the SD card select Manage. This will take you to the stock app management screen. Move the app back to the phone.

Hit the back button to go back to Link2sd and now you can select Create Link.

After a few apps chances are your internal memory will be full. Go back to the main screen of Link2sd, open the menu and select More and then Quick Reboot. Once the phone has rebooted go back into Link2sd and open the menu and select Storage Info. Your internal Memory should be full of huge tracts of memory now.

Also one more thing I learned was that Android market should never be moved via Link2sd

Is there anyway to avoid using a pc or lap top and just install cwm recovery and root the htc explorer? Is it mandatory for the explorer to be unlocked in order to add recovery and root? Thank you!

Be about your word!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Xzan23:
No its not possible...unlocking your bootloader has to be done via the htcdev website...so yes a pc/laptop with internet access is important..

if you dont unlock the phone, you cant make changes to it
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] daddybux:
You could update and infact if you chose to you can even change super user app

In settings you can switch su apps. I mention this because earlier today I flashed a rom that had su v.87 and I couldn't update it. No certificate error. So I downloaded superuser then uninstall superu, then installed updated superu and then deleted superuser. I just prefer superu over superuser. But yes its safe. Goodluck!

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Xzan23:
i think that link is specifically not for explorer right?

well i recommend you forget that rom manager exists for now and clearly follow the instructions on THIS dedicated forum for explorer... So just use recovery for flashing new roms

thats strange...you mustve missed something bro...im hearing this error for the forst time...

follow the instructions word by word from the unlock code recieved step again

Backing and restoring stock rom

heyy guyz first of all sorry for bad english.....

i have a ques. that is it possible to backup our stock rom through recovery before rooting it...................so that we can restore it later if something goes wrong.

its becoz if by chance i factory reset my rooted stock rom........then i may face bootloop, in this case it would be helpful to restore my previously backed up stock rom..........is this possible???????

PLLLZZZZZZZ reply ASAP

THANKS in advance.........
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Xzan23:
yes its possible.

go to recovery> backup and restore> and select backup...

your current rom will be backed up. and incase u wana restore it later...follow the same procedure...just select restore this time and select the backed up rom file in your sd card to restore your rom.

it'll be in the clockworkmod folder in your sd card
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] vireshkumar26:

did u successfully unlock ur bootloader? does it say 'unlocked' on top of the bootloader menu?

and do not use the factory reset in the fastboot menu dude...it causes bootloops... and i think thats what u did...

flash recovery again and then see if it loads
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] vireshkumar26:
i followed all the steps as on htcdev for unlocking.............but bootloader menu still dont show "Unlocked".........it still says "S-on" as it does previously....

and i havnt factory reset in any way, neither from phone settings nor from fastboot mode :(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Xzan23:

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] iamwin:

So is it compulsory to install a custom rom in order to do that??? Bcoz i want my mobile as it is now i mean its looks etc the sense ui and other stuff... Bcoz heard that there are lots of problems with the custom roms.. So is it possible to root and extend my internal space via sdcard partition without any custom rom?

Sorry if its such a noob question but i am absoulutely new to this rooting etc.... plz help :confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Xzan23:
no bro u dont have to install any custom rom.

Hey guys!

My friend has an explorer and he wants me to root it!

I understood everything in the guide just 2 doubts

1. How to boot htc explorer in fastboot( whats the key combo)

2. What's the 3 android menu?

Sorry for being a bit of a noob but I have never rooted an htc, so I just.wanna be sure and not brick my friend's new explorer!

Thanks

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] xpmode:
For bootloader, take off battery, plug it back in and hold the volume down and power buttons simultaneously. Then using the power buttons, navigate to fastboot and select it with the power button.

The 3 android menu is probably the bootloader, since it has 3 skating Android's on the bottom.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Xzan23:
1. its the power button+volume down button...press them toghether.

then when the fastboot option is highlighted...press the power button to select it.

2. the whole bootloader is the 3 android menu... because it has 3 androids as its wallpaper.

and be rest assured. its a very safe process... i dont think ive ever heard anyone bricking their phone with this.

Hello Sirs/Madams

I am really trying hard to root my HTC Explorer. I had a Mac, so unlocking the bootloader was hard enough, but now I have a Windows 7 laptop.

My problem is with the recovery.bat file in A310E Recovery. When I run it, it infinitely says,

<waiting for device>

I have no idea what to do.... :(

Please help me. I dont have HTC Sync does that matter? My bootloader is unlocked.....

I have done everything.........

Do I have to be SuperUser on the laptop?

And to those who might ask, yes, the phone had USB debugging on.... And yes, the phone was on the first option of the bootloaer menu...

Please reply ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rooted! The tutorial just works fine.

I wanted to know on how I would restore or factory erase my handset ? The tutorial says that it could end up in a BOOT loop. My phone is very slow and I badly want to factory reset my phone.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
From recovery, wipe data/factory reset, this is one way, another and more "cleaner" is to mount everithithing and wipe everywhere when you find wipe options(in recovery), another way is, go to NExt Gen thread and download "superwipe.zip" flash it and everithing should be fine. Keep in mind that for 1-2 guys sd-ext gave error, so it's better if you flash superwipe, to check out if it gave some error.

Partition SD

For sd card partitioning details..click here..:good:

And for your info.., rooting doesnot have any kind of relation with wifi or anything else.., it just provides you root access..

if the wifi is not working.., it is the result of bugs in a custom rom you installed..

rooting doesnt do anything to your wifi...

then navigate to recovery option by pressing volume down key and press the power button...

You should enter the recovery by now i fyour recovery was flashed successfully...
