Thanks, i actually had a guy from DroidForums.net send me a copy of the file and i flashed it with rsd lite. Did my first update from .744 to .748. Now i'm working on the next update. Once i'm caught back up, time to re-root. :)

Well i got it updated, apparently too far and had some problems getting back via the razr utility. Now my phone won't load recovery and says boot failure. Tried reflashing the stock 6.11.744 copy i have by getting into AP Fastboot and Running it in RSD Lite but it fails at step 6/18 every time... Any ideas??

Rooting a bargain tablet??

I just got a cheap 7" tablet from Priceangels and read some scary posts on how ppl can't reboot or get system crashes after rooting, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what I need to properly root a Hopod A10 ARM Cortex-A8 1.2GHz running ICS 4.0.3. I had a resistive touch 8" Aishuo tablet that I opened up too many times and died on me, I was able to root, flash and upgrade my internal memory myself but that freakin resistive screen I think is what killed it, after hours of non-responsive pounding on the screen, I was almost happy it died.

I appreciate any help in where I should start.

Thanks in advance

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Edubyah:
The last update I received was on an HTC phone. This was when they actually used to be over the air updates. And I was in the same position as you, so I unrooted a stock build but the update failed. The update process sometimes uses the files on the phone to build the update. A nandroid is a rom, a flashable zip is a file system that the updater-script builds into a rom. Because the source for the new rom is part of the old rom they (Moto, HTC, ??) insist on the biggest nastiest assert script man has ever seen. You need the 100% stock phone for this to work. No busybox no custom recovery not one file out of place. Your really lucky, you know just a couple a years ago Moto intentionally bricked all rooted phones that tried to factory update. Probably be best to wait until somebody releases a modded version of your update. Do you have the update? Can you upload or send me a link? If so I'll remove the assert that's making it fail for you. I'll need the log output while you're trying to update.

How to root cheap dual SIM phone

Hi all,

today I received my new phone called "Simvalley SP120" from the german electronic vendor PEARL and now I'm trying to root the thing for the last couple of hours.

OS is ICS 4.0.3

Kernel 3.0.13

Baseband MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V13.P1, 2012/04/09 21:56

I already tried DooMLoRD's exploit but it didn't work and all the rest I found seems to be very specific.

Is there any method that works fairly general lik Z4Root or Superoneclick?

is there a tutorial on ADB? I'm trying to decompile the systemUI.apk on my phone but obviously am not getting anywhere with it. I know that I need .apktool or manager but that means I need to do the editing on my computer and then push it back to my device. could someone guide me in the right direction?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robobob1221:
Have you d/l the Android sdk?

If anything do that first.

You can search for adb for dummies, a basic tutorial.

If you have the sdk set up then the adb commands you want would be:

adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk

This makes a copy of the apk in your root folder.

adb push /system/app/

After editing your apk with apktool/manager, this will copy the edited apk back to your phones system.

Maybe search for an adb guide by joeykrim.

hi everybody;

i'm a proud owner of a Acer A510 picasso_m

currently, no dev on it so i wanted to give a try and dive nito the CM9 building and so one.

but for that, i wanted to know if we have yet all needed stuff!

- CM9 sources ok

- kernel sources, available on acer (not sure if it is complete, how to know ?)

- device tree, one is available thanks to dees-troy's git (again, not sure it's complete) https://github.com/Dees-Troy/android_device_acer_picasso_m

and then? what else is needed (other than knowledge and time ? :-)

any help from a guru would be gladly appreciated.

the main goal is to have at least a stable ICS, and then JB when sources will be available !

regards all xda folks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] automaddux:
hopefully you can answer my questions. So I got sdk installed and in cmd it recognizes the folder but when I try to execute a command it gives the error in the screenshot I attached. what am I doing wrong? I don't know if this makes a difference but it installed the sdk in c: program files but I moved the sdk folder to the c:drive, did that mess it up maybe? i'm just guessing at this point...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robobob1221:
Ok. In the op, post #1, look for ajthescots guide to setting up sdk root path. Looking at the errors that seems to be the problem.

here's the link to the post ajthescots guide to setting up android sdk on w7. When setting up the class path you might need to quote both sdk root and the sdk folder. might be better placing the sdk folder back in the root path.

additional question :

do it worth the cost to work on a AOSP rom, as we currently have no working recovery ? i mean, from your experience, we surely will need a recovery to make the bakcup ?

or can we place a boot.img + system.img without modifying the recovery (and adb access) and use that to fix the system if the build is weird ?

How do I unlock and root LGC800 (MyTouch Q)?

I only know of one root tool that "works" with this phone. I installed Titanium Backup (root whatever) but I can't access it. My phone say "For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market." I assume I have to unlock my phone (sim card?) in order to access this rooting tool? Please correct me and/or show me a better way if I'm wrong or using a more difficult method. I can't find any posts on ANY site discussing this phone.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] automaddux:
ok so I followed the guide to the tee and it still doesn't recognize adb. I'm beginning to think that I messed something up from the start. maybe I didn't download the right file. I renamed android-sdk to androidsdk and put it in the root of the C:drive and then followed the step to setup a path but it's still not working right. It even shows when I go back into path setup that I have it saved but maybe I'm not saving it right.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robobob1221:

Hello,

I got an HTC Explorer the other day and it came with many pre-loaded apps. Now it keeps showing internal memory low and I want to get rid of them. I would like to keep the Sense UI if possible. I heard the best way is to unlock the phone using the unlock bootloader and then root the phone?

I went through the process of the bootloader and got to the last screen where it says are you sure you want to unlock. If I press yes, what do I do after that? How do I proceed onwards to deleting the apps and freeing up some internal memory?

All I really want on the phone is Whatsapp, Twitter and Facebook.

Thanks,

Crazysah
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billbowers:
After the phone is rooted, you will have access to the system partition. Using a file explorer, such as root explorer, you can give it root permissions, and will be able to see and alter that partition. Specifically for you, you would want to navigate to system/app. There you will find all the pre installed apps, and be able to delete whichever ones you don't want.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Edubyah:
Ninjamorph and Signapktic from market. But being a text color I don't know if you can do it from the phone. I tell you what post the apk and I'll change the color for you and give you directions how to do it yourself. Once you sign an apk with the wrong key installs and updates will fail without first uninstalling the apk. So you will need to know how to do this yourself. Because if you don't sign the apk a reboot will usually uninstall it.

No Launcher

So my device is Intex M709MR with amlogic chip 800Mhz processor and Mali 400 GPU.

The device is rooted and I removed apks like launcher and phone from the system folder. My Go-launcher was installed in my sd-card which i foolishly happened to format. Now I am stuck with a tablet with no launcher.

When I boot, I get stuck in boot animation (custom animation). The boot animation goes away if i lock the screen (using power key) or plug in usb cable. So the system seems to be working fine. I can unlock screen and see notifications, also interact with them. When i tap the home button on the notification bar, I go back to the boot animation.

Can anyone tell me how to install a launcher now?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robobob1221:
Use adb in the recovery.

Mount system or data in the recovery. The you can push a launcher that way I would guess.

adb push launcher.name.apk /system/data/ or /system/app/

Then reboot and I think that should do it.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Each phone/tablet has a different way of rooting you would have to go to the specific forum for that device and read the procedures. For older android phones there had been a app that did it all from the phone, since GB they have closed that gap and prevented the app from working. There is usually easy one-click tutorials for most phone it all depends on the Developmental support the device gets.
