[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RFE:
PHONE IS ROOTED... read this thread

Great news! I have successfully obtained root on my 3rd U8665 which came with 2.3.7 instead of 2.3.6! I've attached an image of SuperSU running and 2 small appls were loaded. Mods: if you could please create a Fusion / Fusion 2 or U8XXX devices forum. I don't really feel like developing for something of so little interest, but you would be surprised what will happen when people start breaking their iPhone5s (Fusion2 sold in every store/pharmacy/airport and only costs 67.55 retail at Best Buy).

Anyways, I will keep updating this thread with more information and hopefully we have a big enough "huawei following" that it's worth creating a forum area for. To crack the 2.3.7 open I had to run zergRush on DIFFERENT ANDROID which does not make much sense except for the MicroUSB-to-MicroUSB cable that came with this getto ebay rooting kit I got for Christmas lol.. The cable with no software was advertising that you can flash or unlock any phone remotely via cable... but YOU CAN'T because they do not provide any sort of software/support, not even the name of another vendor!? End of rant since I need to get some sleep after being up for 72hrs working on this cheap ass phone :good::highfive:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibum93555:
stumped

finally got to the recovery screen on my fusion 2 by using adb shell reboot recovery. tried the adb shell mount -o rw,remount rootfs / as directed and got the message "mount operation not permitted". The recovery screen displays several options. Am I supposed to select an option? I suspect I am missing a step. Sorry if I need you to spell this out for me. Any help is greatly appreciated.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

one of the options on fusion 2 in recovery boot is "apply update from sd card". Do i need to have an application on my sd card that will allow me to become root user that I can apply as an update?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skibum93555:
how?

I have a fusion 2 with 2.3.6 and have tried a lot of things including superoneclick. I can't get past mounting anything as I do not have permission to mount anything or even make a directory. I have tried in recovery mode also.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trouty:
ive got my fusion 2 rooted, but rom manager says i have clockworkmod recovery installed. but when i go into recovery mode it looks like the stock android recovery. how do i even find the cwm recovery for this device, all the links ive seen dont work. same with a working rom. any insights?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
If the little white paper thing on the top of the battery turns pink or goes away completely does that only mean that it has been damaged by water? And does it make the battery any less better? And is there anyway maybe to fix it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alyptic:
I can't speak for whether there is a moisture indicator on the battery. What I can say is that even if the battery was wet at one point, as long as it was dried properly, it shouldn't impact the performance of the battery.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostedunit:
Yes that is a moisture indicator, but a little water shouldn't harm your battery. Mine turned pink from the 700% humidity we have here in the summers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
Ya I think my batteries may have gotten a little wet one day when they were in my backpack and it was raining on me and since then I kinda feel like they haven't been as great as before... but even the one that was in my phone hasn't been working so well either so it most likely is my phone I just have no idea what is it that's killing my battery.

Thanks for your replies.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alyptic:
batteries do degrade over time -- how long have you had the battery? there are many choices for battery replacements online as cheap as $5 depending on where you look.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy_nu:
NOT true... have you ever opened a battery to see the little ribbon with micro pieces on them? after a liquid is spilled on them it will corrode because there is no way of taking power away to let it dry the right way. if you get a battery damp there shouldn't be a problem. but wet and submerged are 2 different stories and you can risk frying your board from incorrect voltage being applied through the battery output.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostedunit:
Hence the reason I said "a little water". Obviously, submerging your phone for more than a second or 2 will lead to damage down the road, but getting a small amounts of liquid on a battery won't lead to immediate failure. RE: All of the people on here (including me) who have dropped their phone a pool, sink, toilet, etc and are still rocking the same phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost701:
I'd recommend just buying a new battery. I had my phone get completely wet before, I put both the phone and the battery in a ziplock bag full of rice and left it there for a couple days. Plugged the battery back in and it worked.

But buying a new battery would be the best bet to not further damage your phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
I guess I will buy a new one just to test it out.

But I still feel like my phone is doing something wrong because I'm using my friends 3500mAh battery and it gives me the same results I used to get with my 1500 ones. I get a little more than 3 hours on screen time and about 20 hours total, which isn't so great for a 3500 battery. I'm gonna try going back to stock for a while and seeing what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] troysyx:
Hey everyone, reset question for you. If i do a factory reset on a rooted/unlocked GS3 with the stock rom, will i 1: be able to keep root, and 2: will the rom backups on clockworkmod still be there?

thank you for any help! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Using CWM Recovery, 1:) Yes. A factory reset only deletes data and cache files. Data being your apps and settings. 2) Yes, CWM doesn't automatically format either SDCard.

To answer again in different terms, CWM Recovery factory reset only wipes /sdcard/data and /sdcard/cache. Backups are in /sdcard/clockworkmod and root is a modification in a different directory.(I dunno the name offhand)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] troysyx:
Perfect! Thank you so much, this makes a lot of sense. Thanks for including that link as well.
[Droid 2 Global General] afterone007:
I was playing with my D2G and froze, I had to pull the battery out and turn it on again, it showed the red logo and then a black screen (d0. 11 bootloader...) waiting for a sbf, I tried putting the SBF .608, 2.4.33 etc. and none can´t boot normally, only shows the red logo and then the screen to sbf. The only way to boot it is by holding the camera button + power button but in settings => about phone, says Baseband: unknown; ERI version: Unknown; PRL version: Unknown, and it can´t charge the baterry

I've sbf 608 629 and always got the same problem.

[HTC One X] WiiiLDFARMER:
Hi all,

So I have a little problem, let me explain:

I have an HTC One X Tegra 3 version (no simlock orso) unlocked with HTCDev. After I unlocked my bootloader I installed OrDroidX 7.0.0, a JB rom with Sense 4+.

Before being able to install OrDroid i needed updated my firmware with JBFWTOOL11 . So all went well, HBOOT is 1.31 now and i have had my look on OrDroidX 7. I wasnt really satisfied with the performance of jellybean an Sense 4+ so i went back to ViperX.

Now I really want to try out ParanoidAndroid (JB), actually Domination is what i wanna try (combination of PA and CM and AOKP if I'm right). BUT I CANT :'(

When i used JBFWTOOL, it said

"AFTER UPGRADE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO:

-INSTALL AN OLDER HBOOT OR RUU

-INSTALL A NON-SENSE ROM"

But i didnt care whether i would be able to install a non-sense rom at the moment so i continued. Now however, i do care.

The weird thing is though, that the CM10 Endavour Unleashed DOES work...

So yeah.. Any thoughts anyone? And yes, i have seperately flashed the boot.img with fastboot flash boot boot.img

I have also tried to combine the Domination rom with other kernels but i cant get it to work... With some kernels (or boot.img , hope i'm not saying this wrong, i am no pro) it shows the boot animation and one time it booted but wifi and mobile network werent working so that was useless...

Anyone knows whats the problem and how to fix it (if possible)?

Thanks in advance!!

Some additional info from my HBOOT:

ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.31.0000

CPLD-None

MICROP-None

RADIO-5.1204.162.29

eMMC-bootmode: disabled

CPU-bootmode: disabled

HW Secure boot: enabled

MODEM PATH: OFF
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The "normal" AOSP kernels don't work with the new hboot.

I know CM10 has a working kernel (in the boot.img), mentioned in the first page, other ROMs may also mention a working kernel.

Depends on the ROM.
[HTC One X] WiiiLDFARMER:
Thanks for your reply!

Ah i see, would it be possible to use the CM10 kernel in combination with the Domination rom somehow?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Might need to repack it with the ramdisk from Domination.

It's unlikely you're the first to want to do this.
[HTC One X] WiiiLDFARMER:
Yeah already tried that with the Nibble Automated Kernel Repack Beta but it, indeed, didnt work... Thanks anyways :)

If anyone else has an idea please let me know :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Rooted with the "no tripping flash counter" method and installed TWRP afterwards so that I can have backups of my phone.

Now, from what I understand, I won't be able to flash the eventual OTA update to JB without having the stock Samsung recovery installed.

The simple question then : how do I get back to the stock recovery ?

The more complex question : is there a way to flash the stock Samsung recovery without a full wipe ?

The stupid question : does flashing the stock LH1 ROM (no root, no nothing) via (mobile) Odin also flashes the stock recovery or is it something completely appart?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Flashing the non-rooted stock ROM will restore everything back to stock but also wipe your data. In the 3e Recovery, you have to Reset and Wipe Cache or else it hangs on the boot logo, but I wouldn't recommend the mobile Odin, use your computer.

That's how you get the stock recovery back. Simply flashing a stock kernel and not wiping anything won't do it.

To flash the stock recovery without wiping, you would need the .img for it, and load it the way you did when following the root no trip install, but I've not actually seen anyone do that yet, so I don't know is the .img available...

My recommendation is to wait until 4.2 source hits, leaks, whatever, and stay custom... Patience...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
That's what I was thinking of doing ... thanks for your clear answer though! :good:

I love the fact I can make a folder on my apps page and stuff all the bloat into one folder, leaving me with a nearly empty apps page.

I like Polaris office, but as I understand Kingsoft is also really good for office.

Besides that are their any good bloatware apps?

Over haft million android App, depend on what you want & what you need . Android app have both free & pay version , try out if you don't like it's just remove.

For me, I want performance and battery life so I had ram manager to control CPU , titanium backup for backup,restore or freeze app I don't want,root explore for cut/paste into system app,room toolbox for set Dpi,ram....etc ( but those app needs root)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galchristian:
So here is what I found by trying to stop battery drain caused by the media storage+heating etc. I Of course can't guarantee this working for everybody but I tried this with 2-different JellyBean ROM's twice and it worked all 4 times on my device :victory:

This will have a few Reboots so bare with me. (because I believe reboots make a difference) :p

For all of you who have a JellyBean ROM already installed and have the battery drain skip to Step.8

1. Download your JellyBean ROM of choice

2. Place on SD card

3. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP of your current ROM

4. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache

5. Select ROM of choice from the SD card (Most ROM's these days come with an Aroma-Installer so remember what you picked to be installed and what not.)

6. Boot device

7. Set up the phone and let it restore all apps. Set everything you will use (facebook, e-mail, flipboard etc) -then ReBoot

8. I used TitaniumBackup and removed "Media Storage" and I also removed "Downloads 4.1.1"

9. ReBoot into Recovery & wipe cache and dalvik cache

10.Dirty-Flash your ROM of choice which you chose @ Step.5 and chose the same features if possible.

11.Install your prefered Kernel optional (I personally chose Ktoosez 3.0.49 just because it gave me good battery life)

12.Wipe cache and dalvik the last time and also fix permissions.

13.ReBoot the last time and enjoy!

Hope this was helpful and will work for most of you early JellyBean users. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AJ26T:
What if u use ROM that doesn't use aroma
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeWCuLTKiNG:
So if I'm understanding right removing them after setup then restoring them by fifty flash fixes the issue they cause

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

Then disregard the aroma part and just dirty flash I take it

Did you have any drain from android system or android os? After I got rid of the media drain those took its place. I'll try your method thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galchristian:
Wow your fast! Thanks. And yes deleting then restoring basically. Seems odd but I tried 4x and it worked.

I just hope it works for everyone and on JellyWiz.

Please hit me up with some replies if it worked for you as well. Since as I said I din't have testers and I only tried it on 2-different ROM's on one device. Hope I'm not just lucky or something!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neh4pres:
Are you all letting the media storage run for a few hours before trying this? Mine ran for like 2 hours on the charger with power save on, then it started deepsleep and has been fine sense.

The reason. I believe, it makes clips for all your videos that play in thumbnail view in the gallery, and indexes and thumbnail all your pictures. It's normal

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AJ26T:
What ROM u running
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mzimand:
When you installed CR 4.0 what items did you select? I think it may have to do with what apps are installed more then anything else.

Basically, install the bare minimum and see if you still have problems. Maybe it is something is getting installed in your process that is causing the problem.

I would leave off "adfree" for sure as well as anything else that effects media.

Launcher: only install one launcher(TW. If you want to add apex or Nova do it from the market after. I am using Nova but from the market.

Samsung Apps: left them all off.

You can always add on after you fix the issue.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechBSwift:
There is nothing you really can do. It's all per phone which is crazy but true. Currently I'm running Clean 4.0 with killdroidhacks 4.2gapps package, someone theme package (can't remember ) and right now my battery is 72% after 9 hours off the charger with the following breakdown

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galchristian:
I'm happy that worked for you. But I have to let you know that once it does that for over 24h and every-time I use my phone it gets hot and the battery doesn't even last me half as long as usual...that's a problem. But I'm happy you got lucky. One question tho: are you positive you didn't disable your media storage?

I had the same thought as you where I said I just let it sit for a few hours and even used a ROM for days like that. Just sad thing my media storage never dropped and the phone was even slightly warm when it was just sitting on my office desk for hours without usage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrBrady:

All stock settings besides that I have mine UC to 1458MHz that's all. Didn't touch anything else just found the device smooth enough. I don't have no specific reason to run it @ 1458 just do so to get a tiny bit more out of the device battery-vise. :) just make sure to enable to set the settings after boot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mustang302LX:
Ultimately I blame this issue on the leak and no little tips will work for everyone. I personally got sick of trying to figure it out and download Rescan Media (Root) from the Play Store and just disabled media scanner. Hopefully the official JB fixes this awful issue and if not hey maybe it's time to move on. *shrugs*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galchristian:
give me a little time, I backup mine and upload it

Edit: Here you go. Place these in your Titanium Backup folder then back it up

It is Possibly a good idea to try on other devices to delete your media and downloads and restore mine. I wonder if that would work?!!
