[HTC Sensation] 9ja Droid boy:
Please guys I need help. My phone was running smoothly with no issues before. Then I finished surfing the net after that the phone keeps on shutting down at a setting interval when am in the middle something or not. I have done some things I know to bring it back to its proper working conditions but still, no improvement and I have restored to the original backup system software because I was running on custom rom before the incident and it still happening.
[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
Tried another battery, ejecting your sd and SIM cards or if the shut down happens with a charger plugged in? If yes then do a super wipe, flash fresh firmware and ROM then test before restoring anything, check all MD5 before flashing.

If it still shuts down with fresh everything then maybe a hardware fault, return to stock and do a warranty repair.
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Try THIS fix. Maybe your battery is loose
[HTC Sensation] 9ja Droid boy:
I have not tried a new battery I will do that and see what happens next. Because I also suspect the battery, I was having 87% battery life when the phone shutdown unexpectedly and I powered it on again the battery became 13%, I think the battery is the culprit here. I will try what you said and see.
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Strange of the battery to go down so fast. Yes you should probably try another battery
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Ad he said try different battery . My mugen battery was behaving like that then my device turned black and I couldn't boot, no charge light was detected! I switched batteries back to Anker now my device is running fine. Strange because the mugen was a new battery but sometimes this happens. So yes definitely try another battery.
[HTC Sensation] 9ja Droid boy:
Yeah!!! You guys are great I appreciate the ideas you guys contributed. What I did is I scratch the surface of the battery and attached a small piece of paper on the back of the battery to enable it stay firmly in the housing. Since then it has not shut down and the battery is even lasting longer now. I am still observing it and I will bring a feedback later.
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Glad to hear I could help

Hi everyonen, i just hard resetted my pc and just installed back flashtool 0.9.5.

I installed the driver that were in its driver folder, i also let pc companion install them but everytime i connect my Arc S (Debug USB ON and MSC), flashtool dosent reconize my Arc cause of the driver, infact if i check the device connected to pc, the arc is shown as without driver. so i tried to manual install them from it and it failed. few months are passed since first time i did it :D did i forgot something?

You can try it as it is but it doesn't move the dalvik cache to sd by default, so it's very fast but you will run out of memory pretty soon... However, inside the thread you will find instruction to move the dalvik cache to sd... you can modify the script, re-zip it and use it directly from recovery

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crys7y:
If it happens that you can't get into recovery, just go into Download mode and flash a stock Sammy ROM (sammobile.com) using ODIN. Don't forget to flash the i9300 pit file first because probably this is the problem if you can not get into recovery mode.

Good luck!

Try firmware initialization from Kies.

It does not require your phone running. It will ask serial number and model number to download firmware.

After download you have to put phone in download mode to flash.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Hi all,

well i made a small script to root Xperia devices, as it turns out more devices are affected to this.

Paul O'Brien over at Modaco tested it on his Nexus 7 [UK] and it worked, well some users in my thread over @ Xperia S section report it not working and some report it working.

I am opening this thread to get the idea why it is working for some users and why not for others.

So, as i don't have this device i cannot test it myself, so if you are a interested user or maybe a dev feel free to test it. Maybe you even get the idea why it is working on some and not on others. (BTW, are there any diffs between UK and other devices? How many firmwares are out for the device? Can i download somewhere firmware dumps?)

Paul's test: http://www.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/a-new-and-effective-root-method-for-ics-jb-r715

Best Regards
[Nexus 7 Android Development] theliquid:
I will try it now with my UK device.

The device is STOCK, Bootloader locked and updated to the latest JB Build via OTA.

Will report back after my try.

EDIT:

It doesn't work for me:

With Version 2 I get the following output:

Ad Version 2: It doesn't ask me to restore 2 times. Only the first time it asks me and then the Nexus 7 reboots.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Ok thanks for this test.

Can you tell me if there is a /data/local.prop already present in you firmware version? If yes we need to alter the script a little, hopefully it can work then.

I am not sure which firmware version Paul tested, but i have a few feedbacks telling it works, so i suggest it is a firmware version "problem".

Regards
[Nexus 7 Android Development] theliquid:
Thanks for your answer.

Since I don't have root I can't answer you this question because /data is inaccessible.

The rooting success of Paul is the same as with the HTC One X. He could achieve root trough such a script with his One X, all the others couldn't.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Strange thing.

Can you try something for me ?

Do this manually:

adb restore stuff/fakebackup.ab

Do not click restore YET!

next command:

adb shell "while ! ln -s /data /data/data/com.android.settings/a/file99; do :; done" > NUL

this command will automatically stop when it "worked". Once this command runs please click restore on device!

Now please give me a:

adb shell "ls -ld /data"

I want to know if it changes the permissions of data folder, if all is fine it should be permissions of 777. Maybe then you can check for local.prop and if present rename or remove it ;)

Regards
[Nexus 7 Android Development] theliquid:
My output:

It seems it didn't get chmod 777 :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Bin4ry:
Ok thanks for the test. Too bad, it does not change the permissions, maybe there is something preventing it. For now i have no idea, but any dev can freely adapt the intial idea of the script. If someone owns this device i think it the basic idea maybe useful. As for now it seems all devices are initially vulnerable to the "problem", only a way to use it have to be found.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] NuShrike:
FYI here also, doesn't work on my fully stock 3568A-ME370T JRO03D Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Android Development] HellcatDroid:
I think this, and things similar to this, are your problem as you already need root to access those folders.

Without root any running app/process is only allowed to access it's own subfolder in /data/data, nothing else.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spazz Monk3y:
This kind of works for me, clockwork mod says I'm rooted but titanium backup says I'm not.

I can't install clockwork mod recovery from the app. Something about assigning permissions.

My boot loader is unlocked. Dunno if that helps.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] papayayoghurt:
Have you got Superuser or SuperSU installed?

[Nexus 7 Android Development] Spazz Monk3y:
Yes SuperUser only because the script bin4ry posted contains the superuser.apk and installs it.

This is not true, it is exactly the trick my scipt uses, in the moment you press restore in the Android Restore Service you will gain access to the partition ;)

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Djalaal:
I have bought my HTC Explorer just 2 weeks ago. I'd really love to have root access to it. But I do not want to spoil my HTC 2 year warranty...

So I have 2 questions.

First, I hear that unlocking the bootloader voids your warranty. But I hear mixed opinions about whether or not it is possible to gain root access without unlocking the bootloader. Is it impossible, or just not YET possible? I hear people talking about an exploit in HTC One that allows it or something... ( wwwmodacocom/topic/353986-testing-rooting-your-one-x-without-unlocking-the-bootloader-windows-mac-linux/ )

Second, let's say it is impossible to root without unlocking. Is it possible for me to backup my current phone data so that after unlocking the bootloader, I can restore the phone to it's previous state? With "it's previous state" I mean that it looks like my phone was never unlocked or rooted, so I can send it for warranty repairs if needed. Is RUU what I need, or more?

Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to wait 2 years to root my phone!!! :crying:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nik007rock:
believe me i rooted my phone in a week after i bought it after surfing info on net before buying it and who cares for warranty i can now do whatever i want like new roms etc....
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Djalaal:
Wouldn't do

I care, because I always have little money on me. I want to be able to repair my phone fast when needed.

Besides, I'm not into flashing ROMs. Sense 3.5 looks good to me. I'm more into replacing system apps with my own apps, replacing HTC ringtones with my own, expanding internal memory, ect.

And really, if you can save both your warranty, and get your phone rooted, isn't that the best?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] nik007rock:
ya its our wish bt not possiible btw care your phone so much that you may not need to go to service centre :)

root it don't worry nothing wrong will happen enjoy the world of android without limitations or boundry
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Djalaal:
Thank for your input, but it's not quite the answer I'm looking for. It's a matter of opinion whether rooting is worth voiding your warranty. I'd like to have a more fact based answer.

Is it really not possible to root without unlocking boot loader?

And how about my second question? Can I undo rooting like it never happened?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
The thing is, you cannot root your phone, without unlocking the bootloader, then you wont have warranty, however in this thread > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1816836 the OP says, that he knows the way, of locking the bootloader again. Locking the bootloader is important thing to do, if you have to use your warranty, rooting is not the issue, the tricky part is, for now I havn't seen anyware that you lock your bootloader and it says LOCKED, there is just a standart way that says RE-Locked, this won't do the trick. My idea is, PM the OP in the thread, if he can help you, root it, if he can't and you are afraid to brick your device, don't root it and stay with stock rom. I hope that's the answer what you looked for.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Djalaal:
Yeah, thanks. That's helped a lot. Just one more question though.

Can I make a 'screenshot' of my current system? A backup of all the data on the phone, including app settings, system settings and even the original ROM perhaps. Do you need to be rooted for that? If yes, then what can you backup without being a superuser?

That was more than one question isn't it... :p
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
Without a root, no or atleast I don't know how. Without superuser you can backup files on sd card, like pics and stuff.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] haree:
hi

im not sure on the explorer but on the one X the fast boot comand

fastboot oem re lock will re lock the boot loader and then we can get the original stock recovery re add it via fast boot command and then flash the orignal RUU via the pc and most of the service guys at least in India are not all that much a techie and wont really chek so mostly ur phone will get warranty service

this is just the info i got by reading in the forum :laugh:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Djalaal:
Thanks, but I live in Malaysia. I never went for warranty repair before, but just in case, I need to lock the bootloader in a way that is will say "LOCKED" instead of "RELOCKED", because IF they were to check, the latter voids the warranty. I think your method will make it say RELOCKED, no?

I've browsed the web, and this site, and although I've found a few (very few) that talk about making the bootloader say LOCKED, they all say it's risky, and meant for other phones than the explorer... Except for the link shortyoko gave me. That one is work in progress. :fingers-crossed:

P.S.

Your reply would be a lot easier to read if you use full stops instead of using 4 "and"s. Just saying...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Djalaal:
Bump

The site mentioned above is so far a dead end as the OP has gone missing.

Is there no one else that knows how to lock the bootloader of the explorer without saying "relocked"?

Another thing. What other methods besides using HTCdev can you use to safely (read:minimum risk) unlock the bootloader of the explorer?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] zgintasz:
Not sure, but maybe with something like memory addresses or something else.

I think it should be possible to unlock bootloader without HTCDev, you just send them the "code" and they send you unlock_code.bin. There should be something like keygen. If it isn't created now, maybe in future it will be.

Just using the programmer's logic :).
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] #define:
Making the bootloader say Locked instead of ReLocked isnt as easy as it sounds..

And I just had the HTC service center replace my phone.. I hard bricked it playing around with revolutionary(a tool to get S-OFF in HTC)..

And they just replaced it.. Just like that.. No hassle of Unlocked or Locked or Relocked.. Thats the situation in India..

And rooting is matter of perpective.. Some people see fit to do it, others dont.. Rooting is safe.. If you follow the instructions to the letter..

If you decide to go for rooting, HTCdev.com is the best way to go.. If there was anything wrong with the method at HTCdev website, then they wouldnt put it there.. So its thoroughly tested by a lot of users, and the company..

As far as making the bootloader say Locked instead of Relocked, i believe XDA will come up with a way sometime in the future..

A screenshot of your current system is possible, but not a screenshot that can trick HTC into keeping your warranty.. And as the Moderator, Mr. Haree said, the command "fastboot oem relock" will relock your bootloader, but you wont get your warranty back in any case.. Atleast right now..

And one last thing.. As awesome as Sense is, it gets really old and boring after some time.. And I assure you, you are missing out on soo much by not rooting.. ICS, JB, AOSP, AOKP, modded versions of these ROMs, customized Sense ROMs, lot of options to customise your phone any way you want, you can make your phone your own.. People will see your phone, and say "This is <insert your name>'s phone, without a doubt!!'

Again, its a matter of perspective..

You never know, in the two years that you have your warranty(on paper if you root), there is a very high possibility that some way, to reclaim your warranty, will come up for our Explorer..

Hope this helped oot..

Peace.. V
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] zgintasz:
Dude, I think you are our hope to get s-off to our device, because you can anytime give your device back to warranty service. And looks like they doesn't care about bootloader state :p.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] #define:
In a perfect world, I'd say hell yeah!!

But I dont know squat about anything..

I'm still learning.. Lot of reading left to do yet..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Djalaal:
Yeah, that helped.

And yeah, I just realized the greatness of custom ROMs. There are many benefits of rooting I know, the most important one to me right now is the ability to create more space for apps. That internal memory is really lacking on the explorer...

I realize that a way to lock the bootloader might be created before I need to send it for repairs (if ever), although I am not sure what the chances are. That's why I'm now looking into how to unlock it.

The thing is, I don't want to use HTCdev, not because it doesn't work, but for the following two reasons.

I live in Malaysia, and I believe they WILL check the bootloader. But just in case they won't check it, my warranty stays intact (on paper).

HOWEVER, I've read on multiple threads (of other android phones) that unlocking your phone using HTCdev will alert HTC that you have rooted it, and it will automatically void your warranty (on paper). No hope for warranty repairs there, even if they don't check bootloader.

I've also read on threads (of other android phones) that attempt locking the bootloader (without it saying relocked), that it doesn't work for phones that have been unlocked using HTCdev.

That's why I ask if there is another way to do it for the explorer.
