Re:

I successfully installed already the 3 spreadtrum drivers in my device manager running windows 7 virtual machine, theres no any yellow marks now, i try to root my s3 s930 clone using H-Bler's method & the Portuguese method "root.exe", my phone is already connected in my laptop with debugging option enabled, after i run "root.exe" it extracted itself to c:\root of my drive then proceed to its job but when checking my device if it is listed...my device is not there, but why?

I get this info:

and stuck at there....i can't root my s930, please help me, what should i do?
[General Questions and Answers] Chico_PinoyCracker:
Almost there...

1. Copy the adb.exe files from H_Bler's link. in the root folders of the Portuguese method.

2. Run adb.exe.

3. Reconnect your device, wait for it to be read by your computer.

4. Run root.exe

1. .android is in your SD card-- yes.

2. best way to partition--> http://www.noypigeeks.com/android/tutorial-a-guide-to-link2sd/

3. the best way to not fragment your apk's, dex's and lib's is to ONLY move apps to 2nd partition if THEY ARE MOVEABLE. How will you know? App2sd Pro will tell you.

4. The format I used for the 2nd partition is FAT32.

To be honest, this is my first android device. I bought this because...

...it's relatively 'cheap'.

...I wanted to have a new 'toy' - a device I could play around with.

...I lost my iPhone.

I thought that this might be an easier way to get back what I lost but it seems otherwise. This device turns out to be more unstable that I thought it would be. Which means... ...more work for me! =P

I don't mind. But I do need something to work with.

My original unit was already replaced by the seller. I'll still take my chances and see if he'll replace it again. The looks of it, I'll need that person in Pasay, though.

I just wish that this thread lasts long enough...
[General Questions and Answers] Ladsrag:
Read only problem

Unfortunately the Read Only problem seems more persistent on my device. I followed you link and tried the info given.

ADB root -d

ADB remount -d

But only result was: adbd cannot run as root in production builds, exactly like programs as UnlockRoot also reports.

I used som time on Google with this error but until now i have found no way to overcome this issue. If any of you have struggled with the same problem and found a solution I would be very happy to hear about it.

I don't know why my China S3 replica is more difficult than many of you guys who have succeded, but maybe it can have something to do with the fact that i was so "stupid" to make at "factory reset":(:(

Anyway - it seems that I can expect some more sleepless nights. To all of you who succeded - Sleep well :):)
[General Questions and Answers] superjavibros:
Read only file system

Ladsrag, I think that the problem is the same that all we that have bought a S560 have. You can't success with ADB root -d because the service adb in the phone is not running with the root user. In the no-production buids (ROMS) that service runs with the user root. So if you want to get the root to do anything all you have to do is adb root -d (tell the service in the phone that you will use that user). Then the remount can be done. But if you use a production ROM then the builder locks the ROM and then that service runs in normal user. So you can't get root privilegies. Some builders sell phones with no-production ROMs. So if you have one of this this command will work. But in S560 thats not the case.

[General Questions and Answers] Chico_PinoyCracker:
Cheers!!!

So happy to hear that kapatid.

Just be careful in using link2sd, i suggest u should alot 1gb for the 2nd partition coz 2gb is too much.

Don't delete system apps / bloatware coz u might brick the phone.

Be sure to read www.link2sd.info/faq --> because even if you use the 1st and 2nd partition, some of the apps still leave/use a bit of the internal memory which sucks-- ex: Facebook.

I have tons of apps now in my 16gb, most of them are games, but it's been painstaking in keeping the internal memory at least having 70mb worth of free space! I had to clear caches all the time and kept guessing which apps are best for the 1st and 2nd partition...

Anyways, that's part of the fun in tweaking. Titanium Back-up Pro and SD Maid Pro are great rooted apps. Be sure to get those.

Enjoy! (Hit the thanks button for me buddy!)

Read only problem

Thanks! But i have to admit... I also didn't understand anything :confused:

But i will definitely try to search more down the same alley!

I also discovered something else i like to experiment with! Until now i have not been able to access the recovery mode by the normal way. (volume button + power button) But using the ADB command "adb reboot recovery" i was lycky to get hold of my recovery menu, and from this menu i can update the firmware with a zip file copied to the SD card. Only problem is to find a working firmware :( I have tried with three version so far but they all fail half way through with a >signature verification failed< message.

I guess i should be happy about this, as the wrong firmware likely would brick my phone, but without Play marked and the possibility to make a google account on the phone it is like a brick anyway.

If i find a firmware solving my "read only problem" or anything else for that matter i will of course let you all know.

please help...thanks in advance...will owe u one...:(:crying:
[General Questions and Answers] ElectronikHeart:
Maybe you have a good recovery mode on this phone, but spreadtrums phones have usually very terrible recovery.

To go in there you should try to press volume up or volume down while powering up the phone.

Usually it's volume down and power. keep pressing theses until the screen light up.

By the way what is your phone exactly ?

Edit: If you have the same useless recovery mode as a lot of spreadtrum users, you may have the fastboot mode. Using fastboot, you can issue the "fastboot -w reboot" command to reset your phone. But if you have had a problem because you have removed something you should not. You are pretty much screwed if you haven't done any backups !

i got my phone in !168 for 5,000 pesos but now their not selling the same unit ( hardware issues daw)

[General Questions and Answers] jvrey5:
The best place to get stock ROMs would be from the manufacturers directly. You're actually in a good position to get one. Since they're not selling them anymore, maybe you can convince the reseller in giving you one - least they can do since it has 'hardware issues'.

The build.prop file is on the system folder. Any changes you make here does not get restored if you do a factory reset. Basically, you wiped your phone unnecessarily.

Since you get an error message, there still might be a way to make it work again. Did you create a backup of your build.prop before making the changes? If so, you can try to put the original or the backup using ADB (rm and push).

But anyways it works fine for me, with all the mods I've made. The only crappy thing is I can't get my computer to read the contents of the phone. I think someone posted it here somewhere that I need a Virtual Box for my Windows 7 x32 so I can install the certificates for this phone.

[General Questions and Answers] Saxo74:
I think that's also one of the quirks with this phone. I've tried it myself - both by creating ZIPs that I signed using test keys from the SDK and with several other signing tools and even with known working ZIPs for several apps. I've tried even when my phone was working fine. That's actually the reason why I suggested you using ADB.

I'm not sure if your phone responds as like mine, but at the moment, my phone only stays on for about 10 mins on recovery mode before it reboots on it's own. If so, you need to be quick or you'll need to go into recovery several times.

Since the build.prop is in the system folder, check to see if you can still access it. While in recovery, run ADB and pull your system folder. ADB is an old-school program or a line-based one which makes it somewhat more difficult to use. Open a windows explorer on your PC and make sure that you don't have a system folder in the root of your C: drive. Normally, you shouldn't, but if you do, just pull it to a different folder.

ADB PULL /SYSTEM C:/SYSTEM

Now you should have a copy of the phone's system folder on your PC. If not, the error in ADB should be self-explanatory. This is the easy part. Transferring the build.prop may be a bit tricky. I suggest that you put the original build.prop also in the root of C: this way, you lessen typo errors.

ADB PUSH C:/build.prop /system

Adjust accordingly depending on what comes up in ADB. If it was successful, delete the system folder in your PC and pull it again and check if the file was really changed or just merged. If successful, reboot and hopefully it works.

If it still doesn't work, you may need to push an edited build.prop file. You can say that this file acts as a console or a switch box. You are able to turn switches on or off or even add a few switches. Specially when you added switches, that doesn't mean that when you put the original console back that would automatically reset the switches. Sometimes, you may need to recreate the switch you added and manually reset it. Simply put, use the modified file and then manually editing them back to default. I sure hope you know what the defaults should be for the things you added.

You could actually say that I was also scammed because I asked for an ICS phone. I think it was originally being sold at 7.5K which is why I thought it was a good deal when he gave it to me for 5K. Anyway, are you still having driver problems? If not, Android Commander should work. Just make sure to use H_Bler's ADB files 'coz it also uses ADB.

If you don't get any error messages when you type ADB ROOT and ADB REMOUNT, then just run the I_Am_DooMed file.

If you get error messages after running those commands, then google these errors to know more about it.

Thank you very much for your answer. But I am thinking this phone is dead because when I try what you say.

Adb says error : device not found.

I search with google where is the problem but I don't know if usb debugging is active... because can't access to the phone.

[General Questions and Answers] jvrey5:
Can you run ADB on your PC? Basically, ADB is composed of an EXE and 2 DLL files. If ADB runs on your PC, simply copy the working ADB files over to the bin folder for Android Commander (usually in Program Files).

Technically, there are 2 types of phones. Genuine and fakes/clones. There is a thin line that differentiates a fake from a clone. On a genuine or branded phone, you will see the brand on both the casing of the phone and on the sticker underneath the battery(which also includes the IMEI). For fakes, the brand will only be on the casing, but not on the sticker behind or underneath the battery. For clones, they have no branding at all, but looks exactly like a branded one. The thin line between the fake and the clone goes with the branding, how they are branded, and how they look. For example: A Samsung phone would always have the Samsung logo on the casing. But, if it reads Samsang, Sumsang, or Sumsung then that's a fake (not unless if there's a company really named as such; in that case, it won't even be a clone - it would be genuine). Basically, the thin line between the two really depends on whether they could be prosecuted by the law.
