Dear Guru's

I am new to this rooting / Flashing custom ROM's of Android.

I am trying to unlock the bootloader from HTCDEV.COM. The step says remove the battery and start device with volume key down and power button.

First option is as per FASTboot, when I press the power button it is scanning for PG76IMG.zip and again in the same screen.

No other option reboot bootloader. Thats it.

Because of this if i hit "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" I am getting message <Waiting for Device>

STuck in this for a more than 2 days.

ADB able to recognize my device " adb devices" its showing the serial number

Fastboot not able to recognize "fatboot devices" returns nothing

Kindly help out. I need custom OS and need space to install apps. Stuck with very less internal memory.

Regards

[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
did you installed HTC sync on your pc? because fastboot needs drivers to recognize your device.and HTC sync has htc drivers.so once installed htc sync then try it.
[HTC Wildfire S] shanbca:
YEs HTC sync installed is already there. I can able to syncronize with HTC sync.

Even if i execute "adb devices" -> it showing my device in the command prompt.

but while executing "fastboot devices" -> its showing nothing

Regards

Shankar PV
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
i dont think you need to write command fastboot devices,it wont work like that.if adb devices showed your device then that step is correct.

that should be working.

you doing same as,

remove battery and insert it again

then hold volume down and power button.

it shows you bootloader menu,wait for some seconds while it scans some .zip files on your sd card.

then go on fastboot.

done.

after going fastboot you dont need to do anything,like selecting reboot,bootloader or anything.just leave your phone as it is and try commands from cmd.it should be working and yeah when you are doing this process close your htc sync from taskbar.

good luck.

Hello Cross fire,

Amazing help....

YEs I am done with boot loader unlock.

Thaks much for your help :good:

Now i need another favour from your side.

I need to install ICS in my WFS and i need more internal space for the apps.

Please guide me which link i have to follow.

Regards

Shankar PV
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
thats good.okay for ICS roms you can go for int2ext+ scripts.they are famous and fast than others.

here is link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1716124

and yeah if you chose ICS rom they will support int2ext+ and int2ext4+ scripts.

so its upto your choice.both are great,you can choose any one.

might you know about partitioning sd card,if you dont its here(and also describe in mentioned link)

1)fat32

2)ext3 (if you choose int2ext+ ) or ext4(if you choose int2ext4+)

now you bootloader unlock so root your phone with htcsupertool and

then install recovery via rom manager(you can find that app in market)

and then download appropriate ICS rom and flash it.

after flashing rom,flash int2ext+ file

and then go to "mount and storage" and click on format /sd-ext

(dont worry about int2ext+,instructions are on mentioned link)

hope it ll help.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

and yeah when you use int2ext+ script make ext3 or ext4 partition upto 1 GB.it will enough for your all apps.
[HTC Wildfire S] shanbca:
Thanks for the reply..

Could you please through some light on how to proceed further.

I just done with Bootloader unlock. Read from some thread to take a backup of the phone with Rom manager and Clock work mod.

then what should be my next step.

Any proper links which you can recommend for me to follow?

Thanks

Shankar PV
[HTC Wildfire S] crossfire77:
yeah sure..now you restart your phone and you can see nothing changed.next step only needs usb debugging enabled.

after unlocking your bootloader you should root your phone.(unlocking bootloader won't add root permissions so,)

so for that follow this link (see step 3)

http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html

then after this your phone is rooted..congrats.

you can see superuser app in your app list.

then download ROM Manager from play store.

after open this app you can see first option "flash clockworkmod recovery"

click on that.

that will show your model as wildfire s and after you click on it.it ll download recovery itself and flash itself.

then you done.now you can flash custom roms.

next step is backup your current stock rom,so you can see backup option in ROM Manager app.

then click on it and it ll made backup of it.(dont worry while backup of ur rom,your phone restart and go to recovery and you can see process)

after finishing backup you can restart your phone.

you can see restart option in recovery..

then you done..now dont worry about anything..you can port any available roms and something went wrong someday or if u want back ur stock rom you can restore it.

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

thats it all.

now after root,backup your phone.

you need to find roms which you want to install on your phone.here is that android dev thread link:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mr. Wayne:
I saw no one so far had posted anything about the Power saver thing so i thought this could help those with the same questions I had. Anyways, I noticed a lot of people wondering how to get that stupid HTC 'Power saver' notification out of the pulldown menu. I have no idea why JB has this here by default with no stock option to remove it. It's annoying, Takes up space, and its damn UGLY.

Here are a couple methods, all of which are pretty easy.

​

- Go into ESexplorer (any file exploring program) and locate

HtcPowerManager.apk

You must mount up to root

​

-Delete that ish.

OR

​

-Go into titanium backup and freeze it.

Really really simple to do and i honestly haven't noticed any better battery life with this thing checked on. But basically what you want to do is find this .apk file and disable it to some level. Hope this helps.

_I'm not going to beg you for thanks, subscription, donate or any other Horse s__t.

Just do something nice for someone else.:highfive:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] brbarnyard:
One thing to note with doing this is that you will lose the ability to see power stats for the phone. I've deleted some of the icons from the apk (stat_notify_power_saver.png, notification_checkbox_off.png, & notification_checkbox_on.png), and the power saver thing goes away, but you can still see stats if you wish. Only drawback I've noticed so far is that battery stats will occasionally fc when open.

Yes I forgot to mention you won't be able to look at your power stats anymore, why you would have a reason to? I have no idea haha.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Recon0212:
So I'm running CM10 (Originally 10.0.0 and now 12/16 nightly) (Not running 10.0 until they fix the low signal issue) anyway, so I just got a bluetooth receiver for my car. When I play music on Spotify or Apollo the bass is really low, and the overall quality is low. However, if I make a call and then exit the quality significantly increases, almost like if I were to plug it in with a cable.

I know it has to be the rom (or maybe the kernel...?) because my Stock Nexus 10 has no issues. Is there a permanent way to fix this?

I was besieged with txts and emails and calls

4 hours later I decided to pull the ad..

I chickened out when i realized that Id actually have to sell....

and what would I replace it with??

The Note 2? that would be the only one worthy..

And on Amazon 699....Negri...720.....something..

No used AT&T Note 2 on CL in my town.

So Ide have to pay close to 450 plus what I get for my i717 to get a Note 2

That's alot of jack for a few up-grades including .2 inches in screen size...

This Note 1 is just too dammn good right now to shell out alot of bucks to get something comparable..

BUt on the other hand... prices will go down quick, that's for sure..Especially if a Note 3 comes on the stage...

good luck

Edit: Title should be "Should I send off to get ANOTHER RMA?"

Well, I got my Nexus 4 on December 10th, sent it back on December 31st because it wouldn't turn on after a few days of trying, received my RMA today and I have dead pixels in this screen.

I'm contemplating on sending this one back... Or does anyone know of a fix for this? It doesn't look like one pixel. It looks like a small piece of hair or something right on the viewing space. I'm not sure if it's something that I can get used to because it's right on the viewing space. Then again, you spend x-amount of dollars on a product and haven't had it for a month: Why should you have to get used to it?

This is like my first REAL android device. The other two were from my job and I had them for no longer than a month at a time. I hardly used them. Sucks, man.

I've done a factory reset and I've also used one of those programs, but I'm not sure how long I should've let it run...

Any suggestions?

I need some help. I can't access the emmc folder with any AOSP and AOKP ROMs. When I toggle the internal_sd in Amon Ra, Windows shows that it is 10GB and I can see all my files from my Sence ROM days. After booting up an AOSP/AOKP ROM, I get a message that the SD card is damaged. I know it's not since I've made several nandroid backups/restores that are on the SD card. When I bring up the emmc folder in my file explorer, the folder is empty. Also, my internal storage has 2 GB shown out of the 16 GB. The phone isn't damanged. I've gone back to a couple of Sense ROMs and I have access to the emmc folder and I can see all the files in there again. How can I get access to emmc with AOSP/AOKP ROMs?

We don't have a sd-ext mount. The Amon Ra recovery.fstab might have it in there. Not a big deal. But that is probably why.

Hey guys,

I'm a long time lurker and have searched everywhere for a solution. You're my only hope now.

Long story short this is a borrowed phone. I've been trying to Root --> CWM --> flash this phone for about a week with no luck.

It's an S710D on ICS.

I've been able to unlock the bootloader with HTC Dev, and i've flashed and fastbooted into 4ext. Once i flashed AOKP Build 6 in recovery the phone would not boot into the OS. It just hangs on the white HTC start screen. I can however boot into bootloader and recovery.

I've tried various PG32IMG's, fastbooting into recovery, various wipes, CWM and 4ext, i've even found an RUU.exe but it didn't work.

The phone is S-ON. Phone is

not

recognized via ADB but

is

recognized via Fastboot command line.

this is the display when in Bootloader:

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] yifanlu:
I don't see any other threads on this topic; there doesn't seem to be any serious discussion on porting Windows RT to run on non-official tablets and other ARM systems (raspberry pi for example).

It seems the main hurdle is that Windows RT requires an UEFI bootloader. Apart from a couple of development boards (ARM Versatile Express for example), there isn't any widespread ARM product that has this. Two things: what happens if one tries to boot windows rt from a UEFI capable development board? Second: if the first test shows some success, it would be worth the effort to write an UEFI emulation bootloader like Chameleon for x86.

Can someone with more experience chime in about possible complications and other issues to worry about?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
I know it's been done; there are screenshots and such of Windows RT running on HTC HD2 (Leo) smartphone (which was released as a WinMo 6.5 device, but has had WP7, Android, Maemo, Ubuntu, and $DEITY knows what else ported to it).

That said, I don't expect it will be easy for the wide variety of devices. If nothing else, the drivers for all the hardware may be difficult to come by.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] yifanlu:
I see it. Has any more info come out of it? Was it just uefi emulation?
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] liu2002:
I want my Acer Iconia A500 to run windows rt. But no one started porting rt to any other Android devices.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
Raspberry Pi is using ARMv6, Windows NT works only on ARMv7 Cortex A9-MP.

Yes, it's running on HTC LEO by DFT team. It's not fake.

It's not main hurdle, it's start hurdle. Actually there are much more things after that.

If we are talking about full working system or almost working system the next "hurdles" can be 10x times harder.

BeagleBoard has UEFI bootloader AFAIK. we are used some useful information from there.

It's based on EDK2 kit, MAGLDR-UEFI also based on it as well Surface RT UEFI bootloader.

At the end you forgot the most important thing:

It's a question of legality. While Android and some other OSes are almost free and partially open sourced, Windows RT is closed source system and it's not possible legally install it to any device. System needs activation and etc. Ever information about it.

Some people may say at this point: "ha n00bs, true h@ckers never th1nk ab0ut that", "who care about MS?", "everything should be free" :D

, but truth actually is different. I am already noticed that :(

It's why DFT is so careful with spreading any information about that.
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Cotulla speaks the truth. Installing RT to systems that didn't come with it means making copies of RT from some other source. Legally speaking, that's almost certainly going to be software piracy, and it's possible that MS would care enough about it to come after this site. That would be bad... This is one of the reasons for the strict anti-piracy rule here.
