Worked Great

Thanks for posting the steps and providing all the links. The process worked perfectly, even though SuperUser appeared to hang when upgrading. I confirmed that the phone was rooted by downloading the SuperUser Fixer app and a root checker. I'm now installing CyanagenMod 7. This will become our emergency backup phone and chromecast/plex remote for the master bedroom.

Also, I did not need to install anything other than the HTC Drivers on my laptop.

New to the forum

Hello everyone,

I am new to the forum and to unlocking anything.... I have an HTC Incredible 2 that I previously used with Verizon

but now use with T-Mobile.

I can make/receive calls and SMS/MMS but can not use any "Internet" related functions.

This being said, I would like to know if it is possible to unlock bootloader and restore all internet functions again.

If it is possible, then how do I do it and are there any programs that simplify the process???

Again, I am new to rooting or unlocking anything,

Thank you all for the amazing work and posts!!!

Problem updating binaries...

So I went into SuperUser app and tried updating binaries but it freezes on Gaining Root Access... I then tried SuperSu but again when trying to update binaries it freezes after clicking TWRP/CWM button. Anyone have a clue what I can try next?

stuck on HTC screen

hey EVoorhees, I've successfully followed steps 1-5 and unlocked the bootloader, step 6 seems to go well (here is what shows in my command window)

C:\android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (3064 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.970s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 1.150s]

finished. total time: 2.120s

C:\android>

until i try to verify the flashing that is.

I scrolled down to recovery, hit the power button and the phone went to the HTC screen, and stays there, i tried it once before and left it for 15 minutes. now ive been waiting 5 minutes

Any ideas??? My ulltimate goal is to remove the sim lock so i can use tmobile rather than verizon

Thanks!

6.) Next thing we are going to want to do is flash ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery onto your phone. You are going to want to download the .iso for CWMR and flash it to your phone (download link) After you are done downloading the .iso, place it into your ADB and Fastboot folder. Once your phone has finished starting up, take the battery out again and put it back into HBOOT mode (step 2.) You are going to want to go back into FASTBOOT (step 2, again) and flash the recovery by doing the following:

fastboot flash recovery recovery(press TAB)

Once you press enter and fastboot says it has completed, it will just have the Fastboot screen. Just highlight 'Bootloader' and press the power button. Next, to make sure it worked... Scroll down to 'Recovery' (which is right under Fastboot) and select it. The HTC screen should show and then CWMR should come to life.

did you ever figure out the solution? and if you did, do you remember now that we are in the future?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

you have to boot into hboot and then hit the power button to select fastboot for the program to recognize the phone.

you can check this out by typing [fastboot devices] and it should come back with a device, if not it will just display the folder path again

hope this helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MobDad:
For the last 3 months, whenever I have connected my phone to the computer with the USB cable, I would get a little pop-up screen on the PC with about 5 options to select from: sync my phone, see the folders and files, etc. I have not seen that little box in about 4 days.

Luckily, when I bring up Windows Explorer (file manager), the PC does recognize the phone in the USB port and I can proceed as normal. I really have no need to sync my phone anyways but I am curious what happened. I have removed the battery more than once, using the same USB cable I have used for 3 months, and reinstalled the drivers just in case. Rooted with the LIH Jellybean leak. Any ideas where the USB pop-up screen has gone? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Computer glitch not phone glitch =p It usually goes away when you accidentally press "always use this" or something similar. I cant remember how to reset that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyes113:
Hi Everyone,

So I have updated to Jellybean (4.1.1) via the OTA update and my bootloader become locked again due to the update.

I have Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper installed so fortunately I was able to restore root and Superuser is working fine (so I thought)

Until yesterday, I install an application that would require root access and it appear to me that Superuser was not granting this access.

However previous application that has the access granted by Superuser is still intact.

I tried updating SuperUser binary and encounter the error "Gaining root access..... Failed"

It appears to me that new request for root access was not allowed anymore but previous granted access still works fine.

I do not want to unlock my bootloader again as this means everything will be wipe out.

Therefore Flash via CWM recovery mode is not an option for me.

As I still have root access on ES File Explorer, it there any possibility that I can manually update Superuser (or switch to SuperSU) using the ES File Explorer? Like copying the new apk over to the /system/app ?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

So you can't use boot unlocker so on play store?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Maybe you need to fix permissions.

Did you have ROM Manager by any chance with root access granted? If so you could flash CWM from there, and then apply the latest SuperSU zip from CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Use ES File Explorer and change the permissions on /system/bin/su (or /system/xbin/su) to 6755 and you will be all set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyes113:
I see that the Permission of the SU from ES File Explorer is rwx r-x r-x . I believe this is already the correct permission?

I'm thinking if it's possible for me the get the latest binary for Superuser and replace the SU file using the file explorer. Will this work?

Unfortunately I don't have rom manager as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Those are not the correct permissions. The setuid bit needs to be set as well. What you posted is 0755, not 06755.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyes113:
ES File explorer doesn't seems to be able to allow me to set the setuid bit.

I guess I just have to figure out how to use adb to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I just checked and you're right. (i only ever use root explorer.)

In a terminal window:

su

mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

I would also symlink it to bin:

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyes113:
I managed to do the above. However still no luck with updating SuperUser binary and still encounter the error "Gaining root access..... Failed"

I believe after doing the above I should get permissions (-rwsr-xr-x) but i'm seeing the permission as -rwsr-sr-x

seem like something is wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Strange. I have no idea what the problem would be then.

What I would do is boot up CWM, and re-flash an su package.

The permissions are fine: -rwsr-xr-x = 04755 and -rwsr-sr-x = 06755. Both will do the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Also I see nothing in the OTA package that would relock your bootloader. You're sure that's exactly what happened? If it did, maybe someone here could pinpoint the component of the OTA package responsible for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyes113:
Looks to be a problem on su.

I download the latest binary and replace it using adb + busybox and now it works fine.

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JMoneyCountIt:
Hi there, this evening I was on the forums, looking for an easy way to root my S3. I followed the steps exactly, and got it rooted. I then went to flash Cyanogen mod 10. I booted into recovery, wiped the cache, and installed the .zip and the gapps.zip. Well I rebooted it from CWM, and it just sits at the boot screen. I've turned it off and tried booting into recovery by holding both volume buttons and the power button, but it just boots up normally back to the CM10 screen. So, I cant seem to get it into recovery, or anything. Please lend me your knowledge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jb_alphamale:
Did you unlock the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Recovery is volume up, power, and home. Just boot your phone up by holding all 3.

p.s. - if all you did was wipe cache before going from Stock (ICS) to CM10 (JB) - bad idea. You should always wipe cache, data and dalvik as well if you're going from ICS to JB or vice versa.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
You should also format the system when changing base versions (4.0 to 4.1). Especially on aosp roms, and definitely when returning to tw. Most roms incorporate this, but it is evident that it does not always clean it out fully all the time. True clean install is factory data reset/cache/dalvik/format system.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JMoneyCountIt:
I did unlock the boot loader. I used the EZ Unlock. But it said that status was unknown. I clicked unlock though and it said it unlocked the boot loader. And there was only one option when I was in CWM, to wipe the cache (it might have been the data I can't quite remember) but either way there were no choices to wipe the data, cache, and dalvik. I tried holding the power, volume down, and home. It said it was downloading, but I let it sit overnight and it never did anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Recovery is volume UP, power, and home. Downloading is down. Download mode is when you connect it to your computer to flash firmware via ODIN. CWM definitely has options to wipe data and cache on the main area, with wiping dalvik as an option in advanced options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JMoneyCountIt:
I'm very sorry everyone. I took it to my brother and he fixed it for me. Thank you for being so helpful though :) I just booted to recovery and wiped the cache, dalvik and data. Then it booted up good. I wish I was good with technology
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] abum:
I ran into the same problem. Do you know how your brother fixed it?

I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JMoneyCountIt:
Well, I had been pressing the wrong buttons when trying to boot into recovery *facepalm*. Also, I was too dumb to look in the advanced options for the other options, like wiping the cache, data, Dalvik, etc. Pretty much me just being a noob at all that is technology haha:eek:

Flashed to Yakju, but unable to update to android 4.1

My device is a Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 and I was on 4.0.4. I flashed to yakju (had the samsung variant for Middle East earlier) based on the instructions in androidforums (instructions here were difficult for me to follow), so that I'd get updates directly from google. Can't provide the androidforums link since I am a new member (WTF is that, really??).

As directed in the link, I downloaded samsung drivers and firmware, installed the drivers and then used the firmware to flash 4.0.1. The method did not root my device (double-checked that using the root checker app).

It updated to 4.0.2 through wi-fi. After that, it was not updating to 4.0.4 through wi-fi, but updated instantly as soon as I switched to my mobile network, and I have no idea why that happened. I am in UAE, and my carrier is Etisalat, FWIW.

Anyhow, now I'm not getting the 4.1 update either through wi-fi or mobile. When I click on system update, it shows that the update is downloading, and nothing downloads eventually and I get a message intimating me that the download has failed and that I can retry the download.

I have tried the usual trick: clearing google services framework cache and then restarting the phone,hasn't worked.

Can someone help please? I'm closer to a noob than a geek, as you would've figured out by now. So do bear in mind that I need detailed instructions.. :laugh:

Thanks in advance.

I just got an HTC One X (AT&T ,locked ) , and I tried to set it up with my google account but wanted to turn off the sync with picasa, sync internet features etc. I went into the Settings-> Accounts & Sync -> Google Account page.

I couldn't see a settings option to turn off the sync for any of them. I could click on the fields below to update /sync again but there was no place I could actually turn them off. I remember on my Touchpad with CM9 , it was just an icon on the top right with 3 squares which I could click to access additional settings but can't seem to find that here.

How much do you overclock your neo for daily use?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] rajxelton:
DO NOT OC for daily use. It may harm your device.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] unisol107:
overclocking is not advised as the oem set the clock speed to an optimum value...below it you will lose performance and above it you will force your cpu to age early.

for gingerbread you dont need to OC at all...however for ICS OC helps to run smoothly...i dont overclock above 1.2gzs...this is a safe value and wont push the cpu to the limits.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] indycar:
no OC and works fine
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] tinyXperia:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
Safe OC is 1.4 IMO.

But every silicon chip is different and you may or may not get stability issues after overclock.

Also, overclocking is like smoking. Though you enjoy it, you're effectively killing yourself.

If you ask me, I never OC my phone.

And @Pandemic, don't use performance governor,

It kills your phone without overclock.

Also, it causes battery drain...

Comparing oc with root, in a matter of killing your phone, is plainly stupid.

I don't play games too often, so my phone works on 1401 23% of the time being and 39% on 245.

edit: Well, after reading this thread I've been thinking about oveclocking and made some changes. I've set the OC to 245-1024 by default and just made a profile with my games in it where I have set it like 806 - 1401. Could be less stressful for my phone's CPU's everyday use after all. Please correct me if I am mistaken. :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] c1ph4:
The range of the Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon CPU is between 1-1,4GHz. So it should be completely save to overclock within that range. This figure is from the official Qualcomm-Paper, but I don't remember the hyperlink anymore.

I'm using 1,2GHz for daily use. Up to six hours listening to music, 30-60 minutes web surfing per day, installing some apps. Battery is lasting about 18-24 hours. Not very much though...

I even bought a new battery made by "Polarcell". 1700mAh, more isn't possible for this model.

No undervolting. Modern custom kernels should manage it almost perfectly.
