[EVO Shift 4G General] JohnnyCakeXM:
Hey guys, so since the latest OTA, we haven't been able to downgrade nor root the shift, if we were on the latest OTA. I've been hunting through methods for downgrading and rooting, but nothing came about that actually worked. Finally having a free mind after my AP Physics exam, I got a train of though going, and tried Indirect's downgrade method, which yes, failed. What happened is when tacoroot tried to reboot the phone, it didn't have the permissions to reboot the phone, and so when the "error" on the CMD wrote that I have no permission to reboot the phone, I whipped out quick root, and did the reboots through it. Using quick root and Indirect's method of downgrading, I managed to downgrade to Android 2.2, and got to root my phone, then flash some ROMs.

Solution:

When you are in the step in Indirect's tutorial where you use the

[COLOR="Red"]adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/taco --setup[/COLOR]

command, you'll notice that tacroot doesn't have the permissions to reboot, at that time, you have to open lyriquidperfection's "HTC Quick Root v1.1.13" application and execute the reboot to recovery command through it by clicking on the drop down in reboot options, and choosing to reboot to recovery.

When you are at the step in the tutorial when you boot to hboot in order to downgrade, you can use the Quick Root application to reboot to bootloader where you flash your downgraded PG06IMG.zip.

Links:

Indirect's - Root and downgrade for Android 2.3.4

lyriquidperfection's - HTC Quick Root v1.1.13

If any clarification is needed, please post below, this is simply a quick guide to allow people to downgrade and if they choose, root it or flash a ROM. I take NO responsibility in what you do with your device nor when you void your warranty. I take NO credit for neither Indirect's method of downgrading, nor lriquidperfection's application, though I would appreciate a thanks for my compiling this "quick guide" to help you downgrade your device. If you're looking for credits on the method and application, they should be found at those posts.

Good luck,

John

*If you want to flash a rooted version of this update, go to this thread

Just keep in mind you can't flash a new ROM to your phone until you downgrade.

local.prop: permission denied resolution by CNexus: his post

For anyone else who has problems, here's what I did. if you get the message

local.prop: permission denied

After running

adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/taco --root

Then simply run the following command again (step 2 of Indirect's method)

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/taco

The problem is that your phone resets the permissions of that directory, so it doesn't let tacoroot execute and do its thing.

[EVO Shift 4G General] -somebody-:
indirects method for 2.3.4 wouldnt work for me on the latest ota but lyriquidperfection's - HTC Quick Root v1.1.13 method rooted like a charm. i was running completely stock 2.3.4 latest with the newest hboot and with some force and annoyance managed to somehow trick the new hboot into doing the downgrade to 2.2 and i was able to get s-off/full root again.

if i can figure out what exactly i did ill post it up for everyone but im not entirely sure. it mightve been a fluke.

all i know for sure is after i got root with lyriquidperfection's - HTC Quick Root v1.1.13

i dd the misc.img a ****load of times and then dd the eng hboot a ****load of times until it <------like 30 times in a row each lol, one after another the other.

it forced the hboot to relock the htcdev unlock and accidentally took the 2.2 downgrade (PG06IMG.zip) so i could switch hboots again.

its a helluva gamble but if anyone else has unlocked through htcdev and is willing to gamble on it have fun, if you brick it isnt my fault and i hold no responsibility over it. i think i pissed the phone off and it gave up but it worked for me. it was really a combination of using the lyriquidperfection's - HTC Quick Root v1.1.13, indirects root method, and vicodans method.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
OP: so you tried my method and it failed too?
[EVO Shift 4G General] JohnnyCakeXM:
I believe I may have come across it. This weekend I may go back to 2.3.4 to test out some other solutions, mix and match, just to see what over all works.
[EVO Shift 4G General] -somebody-:
yeah, i had to do a complete mashup to get my hboot to take the 2.2 downgrade, im still trying to remember how i did it and debating on taking the gamble again myself
[EVO Shift 4G General] JohnnyCakeXM:
Lol, i'm just fine with this method. Worked for me, therefore I am satisfied, :p
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
JohnnyCakeXM just a suggestion, but you may want to give a little more detail in the OP. Maybe a Step by Step :) .
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
Basically he just used a reboot app to do the needed reboots since taco couldn't and everything else is done by script
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I understand what he did :p. It's just I've received a few PM's asking what his steps are. So rather then explain it every time, I figured I'd give him a heads up to give a more detailed OP for the newbs.

Moved from THIS thread.

---

Well thats the problem, to complete the first part, I need to get that menu to show up again, but it won't and just gives me the recovery icon

But any ideas? I was thinking of running the 2.3.4 RUU, but it may not take because of the OTA, so idk
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I do not think the 2.3.4 RUU is going to work for you. The issue I believe is that you didn't actually complete Indirects part of the method.

The command " adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/taco --setup " should have gone through before you went any further. I would try starting the whole process over again.
[EVO Shift 4G General] JohnnyCakeXM:
I'll take care of it some time tonight, or tomorrow. Just will have to re-flash stock 2.3.4 to ensure everything is in order and I'll even make a video for it. Text tutorial will come first, when it does.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Thats the reason why JohnnyCakeXM posted this thread in the first place...? Because the command DOESN'T go through completely so you need to use some third party program to do the reboots for you

EDIT: Yes, I have gone through it multiple times and even checked my cables and everything to make sure that none of that was the problem before I even posted here
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
What he said in the OP was :

" when tacoroot tried to reboot the phone, it didn't have the permissions to reboot the phone, and so when the "error" on the CMD wrote that I have no permission to reboot the phone, I whipped out quick root, and did the reboots through it. "

So unless I'm not reading his OP incorrectly ( which is a possibility ) , the command has to go through. But it will fail to reboot, then you use Quick Root to do the Reboots. Again this is why I suggested a Clearer Step by Step OP. So that the process can be more easily followed, and diagnosed if there is an issue ;) . It leaves a lot less to interpretation.
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Yes, I ran tacoroot --setup, waited for the error, and then rebooted through Quickroot

I think I said this in my original post in the other thread..? :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazlano27:
Hi, my nexus 7 is dead. i cant boot it, and i cant enter recovery, cuz when i enter fastboot boot mode, the volume rockers dont work and i cant do anything. my computer doesnt recognise it either. This happened when i flashed the binary drivers of the latest ota, and the tab was working fine for about a day or so, but i decided to change kernel, and boom here we are. Those are the only two changes ive made. i have a nandroid backup but thats not worth much if i cant enter recovery. Please help me? what are my options?

Did you have a nadroid backup ? Try to go into clockwork recovery by holding volume + volume - and power .

Hope you get it going man .

Hi everybody. I just try to root my sgh t999v but after Ive flash cwm on my videotron, I go into recovery but I still was in android recovery. I have made the last update from videotron. Please help
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
This was said about the problem on the mobility variant by doc holiday yesterday

Use odin to get your recovery installed but uncheck auto reboot.

When done unplug and hold power untill the screen turns off. Immediately let go of power and then press and hold Power + Volume up + Home. (Be quick)

When you see blue text flash on top of screen release power but keep holding other two until you get into recovery. (You may not have to keep holding home and vol, but its always wirked for me)

Now flash your SuperSU/Superuser and reboot.

Once booted delete/rename these files:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

This will stop stock recovery from being rewritten.

Now using goo or rom manager reinstall recovery again if you so choose.

Hope that helps.

I was going to say something mean about Samsung's plastic phones and tablets then I remembered I am holding an Asus plastic tablet lol

So I will say this instead: Samsung are not very good with AOSP lately (been featured on xda) so what would be the reason for google choosing them AGAIN?

Maybe its their "galaxy" brand that has brought recognition to Android lately (In Australia anyway, everything not an ipad/iphone is a "samsung Galaxy")

I still want a Sony Nexus. OR bring back HTC. I like build quality over software (That's where xda comes in).

I bought my N7 16gb for $317 here in Melbourne when it came out. So pricing is kind of irrelevant here because prices are driven up be HEAPS :'(
[Nexus 7 General] TECK:
The thing is: I bought an Asus tablet and we all know the issues it has (quality wise).

Only few months later, Google plans to release a new set of tablets, making me regret that I purchased the tablet... I still prefer the 7inch size, just not from Asus. I will never buy another Asus product for sure.
[Nexus 7 General] zlewe:
Asus is not bad. Look at it's transformer, it's nice. You can't complaint a budget tablet about it's build quality. If you are the company, can you sell a super quality things with so little price?

[Nook Touch General] dandielionous:
I have a Nook Simple Touch. I purchased it approximately a month ago. That would be September 2012.

I want to check out Library books.

I use Linux. Zenwalk 7.0

Overdrive seems to only work with Adobe Digital Edition. (cough) Windows or MAC.

ADE has DRMs.

B&N don't allow the installation of Overdrive App. Sideloading don't work etc.

So I wanted to root my nook.

I rooted my nook with noogie.img and tried it with touchnooter which I liked better.

Everything was working great. I accessed my Email. Just started checking it out. Started to install Opera Mini, when the public wifi where I was at shut down for the night.

Next morning I start up my nook again on public wifi; apparently from what I understand from other forums and threads is that nook automatically updates. B&N have decided Nook ST doesn't need or deserve Overdrive. Despite there terms of usage which say you can surf the net with Nook they lie. So their latest update blocked all my wifi.

I have restored to factory stock. Lost all my books and my ability to use my Nook at all because I can't access the internet because B&N reroute me to a page that tells my all my wifi is blocked.

I have formatted the noogie. img sd card and added bravo_update.dat. Followed all the directions here. Restoring WiFi Config @ nookDevs.com/tips and tricks]

Would appreciate any help I could get.

Thank you in advance.
[Nook Touch General] ladykayaker:
I cant help with restoring your Nook, but when you do -

I download with Overdrive, then remove the DRMS using ePub DRM Removal or Epubor DRM Removal.

there are also other DRM removal programs out there.
[Nook Touch General] dandielionous:
DRM removal

Dear Ladykayaker,

I'm not looking to remove the DRMs. Though eventually I may be, LOL. I respect my library. I respect the copyrights of the authors.

My problem is I don't want left out of the party. Just because I use Linux. I shouldn't be left out of Overdrive. Just because I bought the cheapest Nook because of the long battery life, ease of reading the pages, cost effectiveness etc.; doesn't mean that I don't want to use the library.

However this thread is about getting my Nook working.

Perhaps I'll start another thread about Overdrive and Linux but I'm not sure that this website is the proper place to do that.

I really appreciate your feedback though Ladykayaker.

Still working on getting my NOOK working.

Today I'm going to try SalsichaNooter.

Thanks,

dandielionous
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
AFAIK, B&N never said that you could browse with the NST.

This sounds like a problem with whichever WiFi you are using, not B&N.

The OverDrive through Adobe Digital Editions uses different DRM than the OverDrive app on the Nook.

I use both, but you are limited to the respective readers unless you strip DRM.
[Nook Touch General] dandielionous:
Overdrive, Linux, Nook ST and Me

Wow, lots of good stuff here.

First:

ladykyaker maybe I should have listened to you better. Okay I'm going to do work on stripping DRMs

Second: Renate NST I appreciate your information that Nook and Adobe Digital Edition use two different DRM.

Next: Renate NST I have no idea what AFAIK stands for. If you're trying to say some version of FYI that I would understand. SO... FYI for you Renate.

NOOK™ TERMS OF SERVICE

These Terms of Service (this "Agreement") is a legally binding agreement made by and between Barnes & Noble, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") and you regarding your use of your NOOK™ eReader ("NOOK").

THIS AGREEMENT SETS FORTH THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE USE OF YOUR NOOK, SO PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING YOUR NOOK. BY USING YOUR NOOK, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE SO BOUND, YOU MUST RETURN YOUR NOOK AND RELATED SOFTWARE AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 1(b) BELOW.

1. Using Your NOOK.

(a) Your NOOK, the Service and Digital Content. Your NOOK is an electronic device that is designed to allow you to read digitized electronic content such as eBooks and digital periodicals ("Digital Content").

Your NOOK is also designed to connect wirelessly to the Internet to enable you to browse, preview, search for, purchase and download Digital Content; access the Barnes & Noble.com Web Site (the "Web Site") and other web sites; interface with social networking sites; and access, use, and participate in other services, features, functions and promotions (all features described in this sentence, collectively, the "Service"). Your NOOK also allows you to load and access your own content onto the device for your personal use ("Sideloaded Content").

Now I don't know what that means to you Renate but to me that means I can use my Nook to connect wirelessly to the internet. That I can browse, preview, search for, puchase and download Digital Content, interface with social networking sites and access, use and participate in other services features, functions and promotions.

Now this is a 144 page document so I'm sure they have a legal way out of it. B & N does offer Overdrive for the tablet and the Nook Color but not for the simple touch. Oh BTW at the end of that 144 page document are special conditions for AT&T customers.

However, I don't want to argue over this.

I was hoping for intelligent feedback about my Nook. As far as I am concerned this thread is over. I will start a new thread about Overdrive and another thread about Rooting my Nook then perhaps there won't be so much confusion.

Thanks for the help.

dandielionous

P.S.

Ya'll can do what you want with this thread. I'm not responding here anymore.

Oh 1 more thing. It says clearly on the web page I am being blocked by B&N.

Also I am using public wifi. So no matter where I go I can't access the wifi with the Nook or I couldn't. I have solved that problem.

I hope you have put a little more thought and research Renate into those other 855 posts you've responded to.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Sorry, AFAIK means "as far as I know".

You get credit for reading the whole legalese, I didn't.

I would really appreciate a screenshot of this screen saying that B&N is blocking you.

AFAIK, nobody has ever reported this.

I've been going through some Rom/Flashing issues with my HTC One S and having the RUU for my device to start all over again flashing back to stock recovery, relocking the phone and using the RUU to get myself back to stock.

To give you a run down. I just got my phone and I've spent the last month figuring this whole thing out due to this amazing online community on here.

I use TWRP 2.2 as my recovery, unfortunately I dived in, and failed to back up my original non-rooted stock Rom but that's still ok.

[I know nooby but bearing in mind this has all taken place within like, two weeks.] I used to switch effortlessly between MIUI v4 and the stock rooted HTC Sense 4.0.4 android just by backing up and restoring the roms but then I flashed to Paranoid Android and I think I fiddled with something during that flashing process which is why I'm probably getting some arbitrary technical issues now and I'd like to start over!

So anyways, any of you fine gentlemen and possibly ladies out there who could point me in the direction of a Uk HTC One S T-mobile RUU?

How do you change the CID using twrp? What rom do you flash? :)
