Re: Need help....

Surly the service center guys could not identify that your mobile is unrooted after rooting.. Uninstall all advanced rooted user application to wash their eyes... Technically unrooting deletes all rooting files from system so there will be no trace of rooting in your mobile after unrooting.. Remember to uninstall busybox and other advanced stuff from your mobile before unrooting to keep yourself Mr.Clean.....

You can delete or move all apps you mentioned to sd card.. To make moving process easy, you can install link2sd and convert those system apps to normal apps and then move app to sdcard..

I hope i might have cleared some of your doubts..

re-installed drivers in safe mode and finally got it rooted, hush..

Thanks,

HOW TO USB-TETHER?

Now I am wondering if any one can help me how to get it working with inbuilt usb tethering, when I connect it in that mode RNDS getts installed but my XP prompts me to install another hardware something like "Tynu... " but there are no drivers anywhere in "MY WORLD(Spice CD,Root Tools folder, WINDOWS/INF)"...

bro plz help me..after green screen when i connect to pc with windows 7, nothing happens..my pc doesn't even detect my mobile so plz help..now what to do??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] skumar.mastermind:
I got same issue when rooting from winxp sp2, please try following:

Some times Win7 will not ask to install drivers or installs them in background:

Check in Device Manger if driver installed in backgorund.

Try "fastboot reboot" command to check if ur device connected by default.

If really drivers not installed its problem with ur Windows Setup, try from another computer.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] itsjame:
If drivers are successfully installed then you could see an usb icon at taskbar.. Also you could check whether connected or not by running "fastbootDeviceCheck.bat" from "SpiceMi425itsJameRootingUnrooting.zip".. If you find device connected then proceed with next step..

If your PC did not detect your mobile then try switching to other port.. If device is not detected then manually install the driver from "LATEST FASTBOOT DRIVER" of first post.. To install this driver you should open DEVICE MANAGER and update driver of the appropriate device..

Just rooted my phone using itsjames method in this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28089427&postcount=5 post.

Can't believe how easy the whole thing was..the entire process took less than 10 minutes, including installing the drivers.

I've uninstalled a few apps and moved others to the sd card partition using link2sd.

Thanks itsjame.

help bhai

hi ch@t bhai...read ur pm and help me? how sd card partition work?? after rooting, phone memory will increase or not??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ch@ts:
I'm having problems after rooting. :(

The phone takes a long time to boot up (before it would start in like 20-30 seconds, and now it takes about 90-120 seconds). Could this be because of link2sd?

Wi-fi takes slightly longer to connect. (Don't know how that could have been affected.)

And the phone went off once by itself, and froze another time when I tried to turn on wi-fi. (Had to remove the battery both times to restart it)

I've only uninstalled the max-bupa, live aarti, and bse/nse. I uninstalled and reinstalled facebook so that it wouldn't be a system app anymore and I could move it to the sd card.

I haven't moved any google apps to the sd card besides google plus,goggles and analytics.

Has anyone else faced any problems after rooting?

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

Yes..after rooting your phone memory will increase.

You have to partition your sdcard for it to work. Read the entire thread, it's been discussed before.

If you have problems installing drivers read the readme in itsjames zip file. He's explained everything.

Thanx...

Well, u saved me from the hassles of banging against wall to find this stock splash screen. thanx a lot bro...

Lately, I have experienced a very unlikely problem in my phone. my contacts are shown as single but on backing them up, several copies appear. I mean, if i have 400 contacts in my phonebook, when I copy them to sd card, the vcf file shows about 800 contacts and when i restore contacts, several copies of same contacts are shown. any ideas... I am using idrive online on my phone to backup contacts. Can this be an issue...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ch@ts:
I think it may be because you've got contacts from more than one source, eg phone contacts, google contacts, facebook, hotmail, whatsapp, skype.

Check and see if the info in the duplicate contacts is identical. If it isn't then you need to merge the contacts in your online service.

If the duplicate contacts are identical, then I don't know what the problem is...sorry. :(

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] androidindia:
I checked my contacts with an app called contacts analyser and found many identical contacts.. Now on the mission of deleting identical contacts and then will uninstall idrive... may be that solves my problem:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ch@ts:
Thats upto you to decide.

Ask yourself why you want to root, and if you're willing to face the risks, and know enough to take the effort to get your phone back to normal if something goes wrong.

My phones working fine besides those 2 freezes, wi-fi's taking a bit longer to connect...like 15 seconds when before it used to connect in less than 2 secs.

I've got a lot more free space on the internal memory, so the phone feels a lot faster.

And I've been playing around with a cpu governor so that I can solve the overheating problem when using GPS. (which is my main reason for rooting)

The phone goes off/freezes while charging.

It's the second time that's happened to me since I rooted.

@itsjame...could you please try and help me?

If I unroot the phone now, will all my linked link2sd apps stop working?

I don't want to unroot, or factory reset the phone.

I need to find out what's gone wrong with the phone since I rooted.

Your package just contains the superuser.apk, and the cwm temp recovery, right?

Thanks.

GPS & Network issue

hey.. I am facing some problem on Mi-425(i have not rooted yet) ,, i red this issue somewhere on this site but i couldn't find that now.

The issue is When i use GPS for arround 5min or more then cell phones gets switched off/Hang(blank screen) ,, then i must remove battery n restart. This happenes everytime when i use GPS.

Second problem is when i use 2G gprs(haven't tried 3G) & serf or mainly download something the network coverage for other sim goes down(i.e. no network coverage at all for slave sim), is this happens normal or it doesn't suppose to happen?

What should i do now?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ch@ts:
I had the same problem with the GPS causing the phone to overheat. Apparently it's a problem with a lot of androids.

If you're using it in your car, keep the phone next to the A/C vent and see if that solves the problem.

What I did was root my phone, and then put the CPU in power-save mode (so that frequency stays at 245mhz instead of 1008mhz) while using GPS. I used it only once for 10 minutes, and the phone didn't get hot or shut down.

While using GPRS your first SIM is active, so your second SIM will go off. It's normal on a dual-sim dual-stand-by handset like this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] getcyy:

hi friends i m back to forum after vacation..

Replied to you pm bro.. I hope you could be clear now with rooting things..

This freezing issue is with the android build of our mobile bro.. so freezing is not a problem bcoz of rooting even unrooted mi425 users can experience this.. Hope our ICS update will be good...

For sure link2sd will not work if you unroot your mobile..

Yes rooting package contains files mentioned by you(it contains few dll's rooting unrooting files and few other system things).. As is said before this problem is not an effect of rooting bro..

it depends on your usage bro.. For many advanced applications we need busybox.. I think even link2sd will need it.. Busybox will not consume more space in your internal memory bro so you dont need to worry..

My wife is using mi 425. Still unrooted. Somehow never faced any freezing problem. No problem with wifi whatsoever. Though she is having lots of apps and games, so far not reached to a memory level where I need to root this phone to free up the memory. That will be the main reason to root. Right now she is using app2sd and so far so good. The speed is faster than my overclocked motorola xt800.

But now I am about to reach a memory less than 25 mb. I am following this thread and fonehacker's thread from quite a long time - since they started. But what ppl are experiencing here makes me afraid of rooting. Since I have not faced any freezing, wifi problem, slow booting, gps problem in last 3/4 months I do not expect to face any of these problems after rooting.

Last few posts gives a strong message that the problems are because of rooting. So my dilemma continues - root or not to root?

Any comments?

I am using link2sd on xt800 without installing busybox.

Did you format your sdcard with ext2/ext3 partition (if not format using MiniTools Link2sd partition guide).. Alternative easy method is to backup your sdcard then you can boot into cwm temporarily and format from there(easy method if you know how to boot temporarily into cwm using my "Spice Mi425 itsJame Rooting Unrooting Tool")..

After partition install link2sd and while opening link2sd for first time select ext2/ext3 (select according to which you used while partitioning sdcard)..

Now you can move apps to sdcard..

I've complained to Spice (on their facebook page) about the problem and asked them to include a fix in the ICS release (currently under testing). Why don't you do the same?

If you you've the stock rom and are able to flash both the Rom and recovery, why do you want to take it to service centre. They will just frustrate you one way or other and void your warranty. I had once rooted my optimus 3d and on getting a software update, the phone went into cwm bootloop. And the service centre guys were adamant to replace the pcb mainboard for about 13k. I was total noob then so got it flashed from a repair guy for just 1k though even that seemed expensive... So look before you leap... u can even try to flash system files from the stock rom on to ur phone through aio flasher as it can do all this in fastboot itself coz my guesses are that the beats drivers installed by u must have altered the system files...
