I little update on my disappearing widgets. I think it's related to the ROM. This JB update that T-Mo and HTC pushed out is crap. Whenever I power down and power up, I lose my beautiful widgets and Swype has to be re-enabled. It happens on my wife's One S too and that's completely stock still.

Moving on:

When I look at your script I notice that there is a ROMCleaner.txt inside each option folder. When you add your own custom RomCleaner_user.txt, does it automatically override what is already sitting in the script? Just trying to get to process right in my head. I'm getting ready to do my wife's phone and I want to make sure I don't make the same mistakes I made when I did my phone.
[HTC One S] Patrics83:
Yeah we have that on One X as well...

It happens to asec apps (paid apps stored in /mnt/asec)

I made a script for keeping widgets on homescreen after reboot. It's called Home Screen Saver and can be found here - link

However this will only take care of the widgets.

Solution for Swype is to copy /mnt/asec/package.name-1/pkg.apk to your sdcard.

Uninstall Swype and then reinstall Swype as a normal user app.

However you will have to uninstall and reinstall swype after each update of the app.

But the good thing is that you might be able to make "Home Screen Saver" script to take care of that as well ;)

ROMCleaner.zip have a default ROMCleaner.txt and NO-Sense.txt

If a *_user.txt can be found in /sdcard/ROMCleaner, it will override the default txt in the zip.

The reason why we did like this was only to keep our users away from the zip :D

Read more about user.txt:

How To Edit Your Personal User.txt

​

Steps you need to do:

--- Windows users, download Notepad++ and install it.

--- Download "ROMCleaner_user.txt" or "NO-Sense_user.txt" from the firstpost

--- Open the text file with Notepad++

In the text file you will find two columns with app names and a description in this guide we use AdobeReader.apk as an example.

To Remove a file with ROMCleaner

AdobeReader.apk Adobe Reader PDF reader

In the case above "AdobeReader.apk" will be removed.

To keep a file with ROMCleaner If you decide to keep it, add a "#" at the beginning of the line:

[COLOR=Red]#[/COLOR]AdobeReader.apk Adobe Reader PDF reader

Let's say we are done with the edits. To continue just complete next list:

--- Press the "X" in the upper right corner of the screen to save the changes.

--- Copy the file onto your sdcard. The file must be located in "/sdcard/ROMCleaner" folder.

Now ROM Cleaner script will always read that file!​

With Sense 5 now available would there be a chance of an update to this ROM cleaner? Please I wont install a ROM with out using this.

Thank you for your time.

Uhm I'm not sure atm.

Sense 5 needs more changes then just the ROMCleaner.txt and NO-Sense_user.txt

I'm simply way too busy these days with our newborn girl etc...

Guess I'm a little late to the party, only picked up my One S a couple of months ago. I have always been an aosp guy, but after experiencing the issues with various roms, decided to move back to a stock configuration. What a mess, with all the bloat, etc. Just discovered the Rom Cleaner yesterday, and spent a few minutes customizing the text. Wow ... what a difference! Great work guys ... thank you!

Edit ... can't believe how much smoother and quicker everything runs.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] skeetskeeet:
I'm unlocked and rooted on 1.82 right now. I'm pretty new to Android (and smartphones in general) so I'm just wondering if you guys think it's worth it to upgrade to 1.85? Are ROMs eventually going to stop being based on these RUUs? I don't want to lose root, so I don't know if it's a good idea to upgrade. Plus I don't even know any of the features of 1.85. For all I know, they may have just patched the root exploit and that's it. But now I'm looking at the new ROMs coming out, and it says they are all based on 1.85, and that you need 1.85.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] leitztozeiss:
I was going to post the exact same question. It's not clear to me the steps to rooting in 1.85, so for now I stay with 1.82.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
right now the reason roms require being on 1.85 is because we don't have S-off. Without S-Off we have to flash a ROM then flash a boot.img separately if you aren't already on the base. For sake of making life easier on the Dev's being on 1.85 is a prerequisite.

There is a thread somewhere on here explaining in detail how to upgrade to 1.85 once you have unlocked your bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] leitztozeiss:
Thank you!! Well, flash a ROM, then flash a boot.img separately. Hmm. Sounds like lots of landmines there. Already overcame the soft brick issue, not sure if I have the energy and will to venture down that path (today anyway. Luckily, we have the holiday tomorrow!).

Well, I took the leap and did the 1.85 RUU thing. Also, I re-unlocked the bootloader. Not sure what I have at this point. I guess I have unrooted 1.85, with an unlocked bootloader.

So . . . flash a ROM then a boot.img separately? Here we go . . .
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] skeetskeeet:
I figured out how to root 1.85. Once your bootloader is unlocked, install CWM Recovery, then download SuperSU to your phone. (I uploaded that .zip file to DropBox from my computer, then downloaded it from my Browser to my phone) After that, just go into bootloader mode, click Recovery. CWM should pop up. Hit "install zip" and go to /Download folder and find the SuperSU. Install it and reboot and you'll have root.

Finally got unlocked/rooted 1.85. Time to install CleanROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] niceppl:
yes you can do it that way

but one adb commend will save you all those work

adb push /path/TO/zip /sdcard/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] skeetskeeet:
Thanks! Saved a lot of time with CleanROM since it's such a big file.

For anyone else who is going to use adb to get the file on your phone, the command is

adb push "CleanROM Standard 2.1.zip" /sdcard/CleanROM.zip

before I was just pushing to "/sdcard/" and it wasn't working. You gotta include the filename.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] leitztozeiss:
Done. Wow, an exercise in patience. I could've turned green, ripped through my shirt, and crushed that darn phone!

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

CleanROM installed and booting. Sleep is for wimps. I'm going to bed anyway. :)

Let's see if I can spend the holiday off not screwing around with my phone!

If you have updated your Pantech Crossover with latest update of gingerbread 2.3.6 and regretting it, don't feel bad because you can now root it with few simple steps which are mentioned hereunder...

NOTE: this procedure is very much safe, but if you mess something up just because of your less technical knowledge/experience then don't blame because I don't take any responsibility of your mistakes.

- connect your CrossOver with your computer and make sure that latest drivers are installed.

- download and extract attached file and open command prompt placed in it.

- type "adb reboot bootloader" and wait for phone to boot into bootloader mode (your phone will remain on 10% loading bar which is actually bootloader mode, so don't panic) [people with bootloader drivers issue should download modified drivers from the link below]

- type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and your phone will boot into CWM recovery.

- copy update.zip to your memory card and select "install update.zip from memory card" from the recovery menu.

- restart your phone and you are rooted.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aXnumeric:
For those rooting, don't forget to enable Superuser through an app like Terminal Emulator.

If you open Terminal Emulator and the command prompt starts with a $, you are still rooted. Type "su" (without the quotes). If the next line in the command prompt starts with a #, congrats!

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for posting this guide and the resources and files. I'm having a problem. After typing "fastboot boot recovery.img" in the cmd prompt, it says <waiting for device> and then doesn't do anything. On the device, the screen is still stuck at the loading screen with the bar at 10%. The only thing I can do is pull the battery to get it to boot up normally.

Am I missing a step or doing something wrong? Sorry this is my first experience with rooting. Is there anything that needs to be done before attempting to root using this method? My phone is pretty stock except for a few apps and launcher pro. Thanks for all the help.

I don't think that you have a driver issue yet, because you phone is ready to receive ADB instructions, put it in bootloader mode and there you will have to install andoid development drivers, right now start from step 1 and if you face any problem then post your problem here and don't forget to mention the step you are stuck in...

Thanks for the reply.

Alright, I get to :

- type "adb reboot bootloader" and wait for phone to boot into bootloader mode (your phone will remain on 10% loading bar which is actually bootloader mode, so don't panic)

My phone gets to the 10% at which time windows (XP) reports "new hardware found" and runs it's wizard for new hardware.

In device manager, at this point, I DO have the yellow (!). When I try to point the computer to the drivers you attached in the other post (Google_USB_Driver_rev4 / specifically : android_winusb) Windows tells me "The Specified location does not contain information about your hardware".

If I try to continue to the next step (- type "fastboot boot recovery.img" ...) The phone just remains at the 10% mark and in command prompt it stays at "searching for device".

Removing the battery restarts the phone as it was before.

I have the at&t branded version of this phone if that makes any difference.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pawaa:
Ok... follow my instruction:

- extract "Google_USB_Driver_rev4.zip" to the root of your C: to avoid any further complication (C:\Google_USB_Driver_rev4\)

- go to device manager and right click on the "Android" labeled node with yellow exclamation sign on it and click on Update Drivers Software...

- from the next window select 2nd option labeled "Browse my computer for driver software"

- from the next window select 2nd option again labeled "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

- from the next window select "Show All Devices" and click next

- from the next window click on the button labeled "Have Disk"

- in next dialog box copy/paste this text in commas --=> "C:\Google_USB_Driver_rev4"

- click on OK button and select "Android Bootloader Interface" from next dialog box and click on next

- click on "Yes" button on next warning and you are good to go...

it is pathetic that i have to go to this much lower level of instructions...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cronus69:
I honestly wasn't going to reply to this, but I've decided to ignore the condescension just on the off chance that someone has the same issue as I did.

First of all let me say that I was doing exactly what you have outlined above with the exception of the folder with the drivers being in my root directory.

So I tried that... hey what the heck right?

Same error : "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware" when trying to load the Google USB driver.

Now believe this or not, I'm actually not a pathetic moron! (Shocking, yes I know.)

So what did I do to successfully root my phone? (This may help someone else down the road.)

I followed the exact same procedure I'd been doing all along, exactly as outlined in your first post. But I borrowed a PC running Vista instead of XP (SP3).

Yep, that's it. Worked perfect the first time I tried it on a Vista box.

Note : I'd even gone so far as to verify everything was totally up-to-date on the XP machine including the .net frame work (I read somewhere that could be an issue with rooting some devices using some method.)

I've no clue why it worked, or why it didn't. I just know that I was successful in Vista and not XP.

Even though you clearly became frustrated with me I again thank you for all your help, and thank you for providing me a method to root my phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pawaa:
That's great that you have rooted your device...

Regarding your OS issue, you could have read "Install instructions.txt" included in the zip file. (last paragraph)

Apart from the frustration, i never leave my soldiers behind :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cronus69:
I assume you are referring to the part that reads :

"If that doesn't work - try rebooting your computer. If it still doesn't work, not much I can do, you would have to use the SDK manager."

I'm glad you brought this up (again this might help someone else someday)!

I was going to put that in my post, but it slipped my mind.

Of course I rebooted. :) Several times actually.

And YES I did install the SDK manager, allowed it to download all it's packages and updates and I did make sure it downloaded the google_usb_driver with it as well.

Results? Same error....

You see, you weren't the only one getting frustrated. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pawaa:
Haha, that's why it is part of the official instructions, they knew it that there could be a frustrating situation for somebody, these kind of instructions do not insure solution to our problems but show us that we are free to try different things to solve our problems.

How do I reflash?

First off, great thread. It worked like a champ. However... I've managed to do something the phone hates (I guess it really wanted me to keep that AT&T family app) and now it's throwing system errors left and right.

How can I re-flash either the gingerbread image or revert to Froyo and then re-upgrade from there?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pawaa:
Follow these instructions:

WARNING: your data will be lost, so make a backup first. If your phone is unlocked with a network unlock code then you have to enter that code again after flash.

- download Crossover's gingerbread rom update from Pantech's site.

- turn your phone on while keeping volume up and home buttons pressed. (SW Update Mode)

- connect your phone to the computer.

- run crossover rom update utility.

- follow the on screen instructions and your phone will boot into gingerbread again with a fresh installation.
