:(

Hi Friends,

I recently bought a Videocon A20 - with Android 2.3.5, and I have been unable to ROOT it.

I have tried with One Click, Un-Root, Adb-shell etc. Nothing seems to work.

It was so easy to ROOT with a Samsung Galaxy Y also my Karbonn A9+ (this was much easier)

But this Videocon V20 is more stuborn than a MULE ........:crying:

Anyone out there Can help me ?

PS: I have been able to get ADB Shell access and I get a "$" prompt and not "#" prompt, this means that - su will not work.

All the above applications are able to push - superuser application however the phone is not rooted.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ????

Download z4root.apk(google it!!!) And extract the apk with your fav. Decompression tool.Go to res>raw

And you will find a file named rageitagainstthecage .

Now make a folder in C drive of any desired name (make sure that folder name doesn't contain space) and place the above file in this folder.

Now path should look like this:

C:\(foldername)\ rageitagainstthecage

Now attach your phone to pc with adb enabled and start command prompt and type the following commands and press enter after each command:

cd ..

cd ..

cd yourfoldername

adb push rageitagainstthecage /data/tmp/local/

adb shell "chmod 775 /data/tmp/local/rageitagainstthecage"

adb shell "./data/tmp/local/ rageitagainstthecage"

Now the exploit will run and after the completion of exploit,restart your phone and again attach the phone to pc and the you can push the su binary and app in following way(assuming that you have su and Superuser.apk in your folder located in c drive)

adb shell "mount -o remount rw /system "

adb push su /system/bin/

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/

adb shell "chmod 775 /system/bin/su"

adb shell "chmod 775 /system/app/Superuser.apk"

Now time to check if ir worked

adb shell

su

If you see "#" instead of "$", your phone is rooted!!!!

BEST OF LUCK!!!!

Did anyone tried it out?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AshuGite:
i will try as soon as i get a20 frm my brother.....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] saksgaur:
nt working... :'(

when it endterd to push the file it is displayng that adb not found.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ByTe_cOdE:
Download adb binary(google it) and place all the downloaded files in system32/64 folder!

And then try it!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
A simple solution if you are lucky

Well i have one simple solution for you .. I dont know A20 is mediatech or not . So if it is an MTk device then all you have to do is pull the stock recovery from your android and then provide it here

then i will compile a CWM bessed on that and then you will have CWM on your device and u can flash any su binary in zip and you will find it in my post ...

So if you r lucky then u will get the both CWM and root .. Otherwise bro without device i cant help .. :cowboy:

To pull your recovery type this in adb

adb shell

$su

#dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

you will have ur stock recovery in sdcard . it might be around 6.144mb or close ... but not greater that 10 mb

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RC196:
I understand the difference. That the nightlies are or can be buggy but what is the major difference between the current stable version of CM10 stable vs. Nightly? Someone said it was only a HTML file stating it was stable?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
the latest stable is is quite old to the newest nightly, and the newest nightly has the latest fixes
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RC196:
That's what I was thinking and read somewhere that stable is just a file stating its stable and really no different then nightly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:
well that may have been the case a few months ago, but now the newest nightly is more stable than the old stable :D

Absolute disaster this evening, dropped my nexus 4 and smashed the screen. Now i cant use it and cant connect via usb because there is a pin code.

Is there anyway i can connect the phone to my laptop and remote control my phone so i can unlock my phone, do a titanium backup etc? My phone is rooted

Thanks!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IINexusII:
did you have developer mode on? and clockworkmod recovery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tengen:
Are you able to reboot into a custom recovery? If so, you might be able to operate the custom recovery using only hardware keys (power, vol +/-) and make a nandroid, then use adb to pull the backup onto your computer. How broken is your screen? Is it just non-responsive to touch or has it gone completely blank?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stardusk:
Do you have a custom recovery on it?

If you do you might be able to make a nandroid backup and pull the backup with adb.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgauntlett23:
Yes im able to get into recovery, and i have clockwork recovery installed. Developer mode was also on. Doing a nandroid now as i type this but im not sure how i would get the data off to my PC? I have used adb before im just not sure of the commands id need to mount the storage area.

As well of this, which would also be cool is if there is anyway i can get a remote session so to speak of my phone to my laptop so i can control it and use my phone via my pc. Then i could run a titanium backup, and use those backup files to restore to my galaxy nexus backup phone... as a wait for a new nexus 4 is going to be a long one...not to mention if i go via insurance. :/

Yeah, completely. The side of the phone is dented too, and the bottom. Hardware buttons obviously work fine though
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ro0tMan:

Anyway , are some stores on internet where you can buy the screen but it`s not cheep :rolleyes:

Be more carefoul next time !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Boot into recovery and connect to your computer.

Using adb type:

adb pull /sdcard/ /nameoffolder/

That will pull the contents from your sdcard to a folder on your computer

Thanks guys, managed to get my data off now. Must say Android Commander is pretty good too. I was able to use it to enter my pin code and gain access also1
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
a GF is using rooted 4.11 and the stock dialer,

when a connection is made and the phone near the face, the screen blanks. She wants it to stay on all the time

to input any responses using the dialpad. I presume it to be the proximity sensor doing that. Is there a way to turn off the proximity sensor?

I just can't seem to find where that setting is!

Thanks fo anyone who responds.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
It's a Build.Prop edit

mot.proximity.delay=X just change X to what you want.

But make sure to back up just in case

. Build.prop edits are not hard but can cause havoc if what you set it to is incorrect.

An old build.prop I had flaoting was for Gigajoule ROM and it was set to mot.proximity.delay=25. So you can use that for reference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vopezy:
As soon as you pull the phone away from your face it should turn back on. Face roll might end or mute call.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] zigjag:
Help!! I was attempting to encrypt my device when the process failed. Optimus G boots up and shows "Encryption unsuccessful". It gives me a button to tap to Reset phone and the button responds to tap but the device never resets. I've attempted to reset using Power and Vol down but as soon as I press power key and it shows confirmed, it seems to freeze the phone again. I have to press and hold power key to get it to reboot.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deleted member 5006141:
You should still be able to get to the Android recovery and do a factory reset.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] zigjag:
I figured that's maybe what I've been missing. What are the steps to enter the stock recovery? I was only aware of PWR + Vol Down keys as an alt reset.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deleted member 5006141:
Turn it off then hold PWR + up to get to the bootloader then hit vol down twice (to select Recovery Mode since the menu is actually hidden) and hit the power button to select it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] zigjag:
I think I need to have bootloader unlocked or have run freegee, i haven't done either so i still can't access the recovery.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deleted member 5006141:
Right. Sorry, I assumed you had CWM (with bootloader unlocked) installed. You can always use LGNPST, though I'm not sure if you need to have an unlocked bootloader. I'm sure another forum member can better assist you.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
Since you're stock, maybe you can get it replaced via warranty? It failed using a standard menu item, shouldn't be an issue.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] charleswesde:
Correct, call tech support or go into a store, worst case scenario its def a software iss covered under device warranty.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] arod175:
I had this issue as well. I used a different stock rom and it almost happened too. I just held the down and power button until I got the message to factory reset message. I did that and now i'm back to stock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dr0!dFreek:
Forget what I said
[AT&T LG Optimus G] novastar:
If on stock, press Power+Vol Dwn, power, power yo accept. That does a stock reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RIKIL:
Wow, I do really hate my Wi-Fi controls on my sprint phone and am hoping someone knows of a simple setting I have not found yet.

When I leave my house I turn off Wi-fi yet sometimes when I am out and I look at my phone, it comes back on. I think it does this when a wi-fi network is nearby??? The phone asks me to setup a wi-fi hotspot even though I don't pay for the service (although I have rooted my phone and tried to get it working through an app). But what aggravates me the most about it is that the wi-fi will turn on and if it isn't connected to a network, it will cause issues with things like Google Play. With wi-fi on and no network to connect to, Google Play won't be able to search and reports a connection problem. Most times I don't pay attention to it being on or off because I know I've turned it off.

I am not sure if this behavior is normal, this didn't happen with my HTC EVO I had. On that phone, wi-fi stayed off until I turned it back on.

I've looked and can't find any settings that might help me figure out how to eliminate this behavior. Anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
First questions go in Q&A

Second, turn off the Sprint Optimizer in settings>more>mobile networks>automatic connections.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
It is the Sprint Connections Optimizer that is doing that. It will turn WiFi on even after you have turned it off. You can disable the Connections Optimizer in Settings > More Settings > Mobile Networks. Some have reported that this feature will also re-enable itself. I have seen that happen. I used Titanium Backup to freeze the Sprint Connections Optimizer app and I no longer have to fight to keep WiFi off when I want it off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] svfreddy:
aside from this small annoyance, Can anyone say if this is a battery drainer or not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robbie Doo:
I don't think it makes much difference on the battery. It's just annoying, like you said. I turned it off (unchecked the box) from the Mobile Networks and it went away. You really don't need that option cuz it will change whenever there the data coverage changes anyways. :)
