Micromax A87 Root & Unroot Query

Hi Developers/Experts/Mates,

I'm new to XDA and didn't knew where to post my query, Sorry, hence posting here

To give a start ,I’m new to Android world. I’ve bought Micromax A87 about 2 weeks ago and like others even I tried to Root the phone for

better performance, unfortunately I was unable to do. Please see below for the steps I followed and would require your expertise help to

rectify/resolve. Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks for your Support.

1. Initially I installed Gingerbreak v1.2 to phone & tried to Root, USB debugging was enabled and SD card was mounted, I rooted but ultimate result was not successful ( Rootiing was in process) and later I realized that in order to view USB debugging connected in Android, USB Theatring should be enabled in phone and this process was failure.

2. Have downloaded java JDK 64 bit, Android SDK, Unlock root exe, Adb_usb_ini, and Micromax A87 drivers (from micromax website)

3. Tried to Root using Unlock root v3, displayed a waring message “Device already rooted, do you want to root” I rooted and it asked to install Batery saver and Super user App, I’ve installed both of them to phone, and the phone was booted automatically, my question here is I can see the Super user App , but when I checked in Root checker it displayed “ Device does not have proper root access” I realized this is not completely rooted, later I installed Titanium backup but throwed an error “ I did not acquire Root privilege” then it got confirmed device is not rooted properly.

4. Even checked with Superone click, however at step # 7 it has stopped ( awaiting sheel root permission) and didn’t moved further.

5. I tried to UnRoot using Unlock root exe, but it stops at “ adb Sheel root pemisson this may take several minutes” waited for about 10 mins but noting happened.

6. Do we need to partition SD card OR the App Swapper and Swapper2 will do. ( pl guide how to Partion SD card)

Mates please help me, can I Re-root again, OR do I need to Unroot first and then Re-Root. Also advice which method to follow for Root and Unroot.

Regards,

Prashy

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logic_:
So I'm guessing you rooted through some sort of program or app and have no idea what adb is, right? So my advice to you is... *drumroll* lrn2adb!

Read up on what adb is and how to communicate with your device through adb console.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
Pretty sure just removing Superuser from either system/app or data/app (I forget, you'll just have to look) would be enough. There would probably be some binaries left behind doing it that way, but shouldn't matter.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steevp:
From an adb shell or the terminal emulator app:

$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# rm /system/app/Superuser.apk /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

should do it

I want to know AOKP or Quarx is better on 4.1?

I know Quarx solved data connection bug but don't know whether AOKP also don't have such bugs.

Also, seems that not native tethering is workable since CM9.
[Defy General] Steveletack:
AOKP is based on Quarx Roms

All Bugs Quarx has are also in AOKP.

Some People say AOKP is faster but i would say theyre both the same
[Defy General] t0n0n:
AOKP is built from Source. Some bugs can be the same, but not ALL the same.

-- TOPIC --

I preffer AOKP. It seens faster to me.

If you don't need JB, you can try Salad Bar or WIUI or JIUI, those are great ROMs too.
[Defy General] _ossie_:
WIUI and JIUI are both JB now too
[Defy General] g440i:
I tried WIUI... don't know why very slow on my defy
[Defy General] g440i:
btw, any bug list on AOKP now?

i keep track on Quarx but can't find a full bug list to compare AOKP and Quarx.

actually there are 3 main bugs i concern:

1. data connection bug - should be 90% solved by Quarx, still sometimes doesn't work. but i don't know the situation in AOKP yet.

2. wifi/bluetooth tethering - not working in Quarx, don't know about AOKP.

3. can't play live video on quickplay media based apps - this one may be not many foreign developers tried. i tried myTV apps from tvb.com, which can't play live video but work in video on demand. i'm using Quarx built and CM9 and CM10 both have this issue.

I bought it yesterday, arriving late this week. Hope to see a dedicated forum soon. Meanwhile, following this topic.

I'm hoping the 8" will be released soon. But if I had to wait, I would pick up the 10" model and then the 8" later.

Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvrmore100:
Google Maps location doesn't work, and I have been unsuccessful sideloading any of the GPS apps I have available. All fail on install.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
What about one of the free GPS apps on the Amazon app store, like:

http://www.amazon.com/EclipSim-GPS-...ps&ie=UTF8&qid=1348158531&sr=1-1&keywords=gps
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvrmore100:
Hmm well interestingly enough that one installed. It took a while, but it gave me a coordinate read out as well (see screenshot, I blanked out my location but you can see what I mean). I'm not familiar with that app, so I don't know if it uses Wifi at all for determining location. It does have an option for "do not launch if GPS is not enabled" though and that is set by default. Yet, it works. You have my wondering now, I'll keep playing with some of the other apps I'm a bit more familiar with and see if I can get them to install.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reverendkjr:
The OS build might not have adequate drivers to run the GPS. This might get fixed once we get a different ROM....someday.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
I have google maps up and running, though I believe it is functioning off wifi location, the location is off a little. I installed GPS satellite app and it launches, gives me data but does not show that it is picking up any satellites.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvrmore100:
I got GPS Test Plus installed and see the same. It doesn't find any satellites, but it is indeed finding my location based on Wifi. Acurracy of only about 200 feet. Think we are SOL for now.

UPDATE: I am playing with it more (it has a handy green light when it has GPS signal) that is yellow with WIFI off, and Green with it on. Seems to indicate it only uses Wifi for location.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semifast:
even if gps is on the chip, maybe there's no antenna ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHenley:
So far no joy on getting any sort of GPS working. I bought a TomTom BlueTooth GPS module and it will not pair with the Fire HD. I get a message saying that the BlueTooth device is not compatible. None of the apps to make it work will even install.

Amazon apparently went all out in preventing people from using GPS. From what I understand the Nook will allow you to use a BlueTooth GPS.

FWIW, I tried using Google Maps on the way to and from work the last few days, and it is starting to get pretty good at finding my location via WiFi. Most of the time it was showing me within a block of my actual location, and sometimes it was actually tracking me accurately, even showing me driving up to an intersection and stopping right at the intersection. It seems to get better every time I take the same route.

I did discover that the Fire HD has a magnetic compass and accelerometer. But the compass is not very reliable.

I have a sneaky suspicion that there were some lawyers involved in these decisions...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
Amazon took it really out of their way to lock down their tablets. They don't want people to use anything that doesn't rely on their services. Such as maps, either it be google, Bing, tomtom, anything not made by them. Amazon never activated voice search, the potential is there (apk in system files) but until they make it used through their ecosystem, KFHD will probably never see it. They even make it annoying to change the keyboard. Supposedly according too their website, BT only works with headphones. That is a complete limitation and annoyance.

As for GPS, I can see it somewhat irrelevant on a device that is wifi only and was omitted, though I do enjoy it on my N7. Something, I believe it was hootsuite would constantly annoy me about location services when I had it turned off, as they claimed it was turned off via twitter and had no options and I had it off in my twitter. Location services on the KFHD killed my battery for some unknown reason.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrHenley:
How so? With Maps you can download your entire city to use offline. If you start Navigation while online, and give it a couple of minutes to cache the info, it will take you all the way to your destination offline. I tested this on a 5 hour trip, and the audible turn-by-turn took me all the way to the destination, even though in some places the map itself was blank, and it didn't know the name of the street or exit. "Take the exit on the right" instead of "Take exit 6" It was even able to do some limited rerouting offline (which is something fairly new)

Besides, now I have a MiFi and a phone with a portable HotSpot. .On long trips, however, I turn off the MiFi while underway unless I need a major reroute, or need to find something. On a long trip a few weeks ago, my wife called from our tax accountant's office and needed some info from an old bank statement. I was out in the middle of nowhere in Alabama, and I though I was going to have to drive to Birmingham to find a Wells Fargo. So I fired up the MiFi, and asked my N7 "Google...where is the nearest Wells Fargo?" and it found one in a small town less than 10 minutes away and led me straight there.

Driving in Atlanta drives me insane. Now with the MiFi and Google Maps, I can see where the stop-and-go traffic jams are and get around them.

Irrelevant??? Not hardly!

I REALLY wanted the GPS to work on the Fire HD because the pitiful speakers on the N7 aren't loud enough to hear turn-by-turn directions in heavy traffic or heavy rain, or while the radio is playing. And the washed out screen on the N7 makes it hard to make out the streets (white and yellow on off-white) They stand out much better on the Fire HD's screen.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
Not everyone tethers data through their phone or device. Most cell phone plans still require additional payment services. I refuse to pay another $35-$40 a month just to tether data. If I want to use GPS, then I use my phone or my Garmin Nuvi, though I prefer google maps since they are mostly up to date.

Caching maps, ok, but you need to know exactly where you want to go. Without data, the GPS is useless unless you are using a strict GPS app to determine location only. Amazon took it out to reduce costs. While it's nice to have, it's irrelevant to their entertainment device, they don't want you to use maps anyways.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spliter200:
question

Would it be possible to make a hack to enable spp bluetooth profile on KFHD. Because the tomtom bluetooth gps receiver uses that profile.

I have to completely agree with drhanley i wish i could have at least bluetooth gps on the kindle fire hd.

Drhanley have you seen in the android market bluetooth spp app make an app from the market could enable the spp profile needed for tomtom gps receiver ????????

[HTC One X] Genkville:
Ok, first off, no silly replies please. You can laugh but don't talk like a dumbass.

So here goes.... *deep breath*.......

Is there an alternative to Android (Google) that i can run on my HTC one x. I'm boycotting Google for the way they have handled the offensive video as of late on youtube.

To be frank, google dominates my life, contacts, gmail, photo's, chrome but i now want to boycott them. I know it'll be hard but i can try....

So, alternative OS to google which my one x can run?? Or do i need to buy an iphone :(

Mods, feel free to move this as appropriate.
[HTC One X] buchman:
What are you talking about......

And no is the answer
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
lol

somehow i'm not sure they will notice :p

anyways its your life, your choice..

windows phone, iphone, and blackberry, samsung bada, i think there's more, but none really are quite the same as android, imo you will be taking a big step backwards if you do choose to not use it.

only problem, is that your not really gonna be successful in finding one of those os's for the one x. somebody would have to make it, the same way as a custom rom, and the processor architecture could be different, and not supported by os etc etc, its a big mess and very very unlikely to ever happen - the old windows mobile phones got android, purely because winmo was complete crap, and android would have been considered an upgrade, the other os's; they would be considered by most as a downgrade, hence not bothering to do it
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
I'm guessing the OP is on about this video which Muslims are finding offensive

But to answer your question, no. You can't run anything other than Android on the One X at this time
[HTC One X] Logseman:
CyanogenMod uses all the open source code from Android and makes the Google apps installation optional. If you boycott Google and don't want to know from them, you can use it if it's available on your 1X. The browser allows you to choose your search provided, right?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
my apologies..:) just could not resist:D
[HTC One X] patp:
There is no non-Android OS for the HOX. You could however remove most if not all Google services from your phone. Root, and then install an AOKP or CM ROM, don't install the GApps. It might be useful to use Droidwall to block connections to specific Google servers as well. There will still be some things to do like making sure location services stay off, and you'll face some challenges, but you could cut the cord.

You'd need to sideload apps (no Play Store). Use something like Funambol for calendar/contacts/mail. Use Opera or Firefox browser and set default search engines to not be Google.

I can't decide if this would end up really sucky or really just the same!
[HTC One X] bailie1912:
Just go buy another phone. U cant please everybody in the world so boycotting google just because of this video is childish. They have offensive material to me posted on YouTube like videos glorifying the IRA but I won't boycott them because of it. So I suggest u either buy a new phone or quit ur b##chin :)
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
That's a bit uncalled for as this is a religious issue, not paranoia
[HTC One X] Goku80:
hehe sorry i just could not resist...i edited my post:o but on a serious note actually you can run another OS....problem is someone that can actually port it to the one x...Firefox OS..or mozilla think its called Gecko OS something like that...or as someone above said run JB without the Gapps
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
it's still running Google Android though?
[HTC One X] Genkville:
Thanks guys, what a tremoundous and positive response! :fingers-crossed:

looks like CM to me.... even though they utilize majority of android.

But wasn't android made possible by Linux??

[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Boycott Google?

Good luck with that, what your after is an iphone - but guess what, all videos will still be on YouTube (aka gootube :) )
