Hi,

Can you please provide link for Cabsender and also steps to install these cab files using this cabsender.

Thanks in advance
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] FocusHelp:
Sure..

BEFORE STARTING I STRONGLY RECOMMEND MAKING A BACKUP.. YOU DONT HAVE TO BUT AS I SAID I RECOMMEND IT

1. WP7 Cabsender here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...=afWBL0WO6Kruyr191ytOXw&bvm=bv.43828540,d.dmg

2. Put the diff-7.10.8858.136-7.10.8860.142 cab file in the same folder as WP7 Update Cab Sender

3. Connect your phone

4. Open Zune and wait for it to show your phone is connected

5. When it shows connect Close Zune

6. Extract the zip file and run WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat

7. To backup your phone press B and to send cabs press S

8. It should restart your phone and start installing 7.10.8860.142

9. It should be done after maybe 10 minutes and your phone will reboot saying "successful"

10. Delete the 7.10.8860.142 cab file and replace it with the 7.10.8862.144 cab file.

11. restart cabsender and press s

12. It should now install 7.10.8862.144

13. Your phone should reboot once again saying successful

14. You should now have 7.10.8862.144 installed

This is a work metod for root your not unlocked phone !

I find a solution after update to last new version

Download this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2143437

After download and share fail with samba windows or mac sharing, you need to mount from file manage > remote storage

After fix permission go to adb folder and type :

"adb shell"

"cd /mnt/rfs0"

"./su"

"cd /"

"ln -s /mnt /storage"

Next step go to console and type :

adb kill-server

adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn

Next : Install apk package from phone , Reboot Phone and now your phone is rooted!

Update from Play Market SuperSu and go.

Best regards,

m.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Hinyo:
lol if i saw this earlier i might not have unlocked my boot loader today. =) hope someone can try this
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rykin:
I gave this a try earlier today. I scoured through the forum to find that the new Ubuntu doesn't install ADB drivers by default, so you need to do this manually.

Anyway, I attempted to do it and got all the way to ./su. It then prompted me with the message "./su cannot execute - Permission denied". Obviously from there I can't link /mnt to /storage and I can't run pwn because it looks for the /storage folder.

If you have any suggestions how to get ./su running, let me know.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] ujoty:
This method works but not all intructions are here.

First, you need to change permissions of su:

chown root:root su

chmod 6755 su

then run adb shell and remount / filesystem ro rw:

mount -o rw,remount /

now you can create symbolic link and run the exploit.

You can also perform rooting manually (without creating symlink and running pwn):

remount /system partition to rw: mount -o rw,remount /system

and copy su to /system/xbin, make sure that it has correct permissions (rwsr-sr-x) and that's it.

Now you can remount partitions back to ro.

Install supersu or superuser (whatever makes you happy, just check if it works correctly, superuser didn't work for me, it didn't prompt about root permission for any app, it just gave it, no matter how configured it was), Then install busybox, if you need one.

And you're done.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] amateurhack:
YES! Glad I waited!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rykin:
Thank you. I just tried this and it worked. Confirmed with Root Checker. :>
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cscotti:
Thanks, I think this is exactly what I am looking for per this thread. Unfortunately, I don't quite have the knowledge (yet) to completely understand what you mean. I've rooted several phones, but never had to use ADB before so am unfamiliar with it. Also, what do you mean by this: "After download and share fail with samba windows..."?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] desyncron:
By reading this link you will know hot to setup samba installation on a UBUNTU live cd. After doing that on your phone you should go to your FILE MANAGER --> remote storage and add the samba share to your phone. On the UBUNTU live cd, on your samba folder you should do this:

cd /path/to/share
wget http://vulnfactory.org/public/motoshare.tgz
tar xvf motoshare.tgz
sudo chown root:root pwn
sudo chmod 6755 pwn

After that you should put your phone in USB debugging mode and connect it to your PC. On your PC your should download the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK. The platform-tools folder contains adb (MAC) adb.exe (Windows) file. After you have adb, on your WIndows/MAC PC you should type:

./adb shell
cd /mnt/rfs0
./su
mount -o rw,remount /
cd /
ln -s /mnt /storage
exit (to exit the ADB shell)
adb kill-server
adb shell /storage/rfs0/pwn

Next you should copy eu.chainfire.supersu.apk on your phone storage and install it with file manager.

Reboot your device! Congratulations, your phone is rooted :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] amateurhack:
Wow, thanks for this. I was considering trying to condense down the instructions myself before I did this, but you beat me to it, and did a better job than I would have, considering I'm a novice at this stuff.

So your method uses a linux boot for samba, but then the rest is done on windows. Question: could you do the adb stuff on Linux? Seemed like some of the posts in the atrix threads were doing it that way, and I was just curious. I have mint 14-64 bit on a couple of my machines, as well windows, and was thinking this would be an opportunity to learn it a little better.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] vangelm:
Hello,

and what if I have unlocked bootloader? Is there any other way to root this phone?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cscotti:
well that sounds a bit intimidating but thanks for spelling it out. I'll try to work up the nerve and make some time to give this a try.

Just curious, but why can't this be compressed into a one click batch file like before?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can easily root. You don't need any exploits etc.

Install TWRP, it will automatically root the device. Or, install CWM and then install SuperSU afterwards, which will root the device.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] vangelm:
It works, thank you, have a nice day.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] swintec:
Can you share what you did? Instructions seem to say that I need to install GooManager? The summary of GooManager says I need root to use it. TIA.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] alexwoellhaf:
**** I wish I saw this before i went to Motorola for my warranty voiding unlock code :eek:

---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

I like TWRP but CWM in my opinion is better (more supported).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] rykin:
Yes. This can be done in Linux. I did it entirely with a LIVE USB. However, adb might not be installed by default (on mine it was not). To install it, do the following:

This will prevent you from running into errors when you start typing: adb shell
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Either use GooManager or the fastboot flash method. I think you do need to be rooted in order for GooManager to get the permissions it requires to flash recovery... So in that case, the only way initially to flash might be fastboot flash... Sorry.

Not even sure what this means. Any zip you can flash with CWM, you should be able to flash with TWRP. No?

They're both recoveries. One is touch-based, one isn't.

What else can I do???
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] nezzer:
I am trying to run through these steps. For starters, when I enter the 'adp shell' I do not have a /mnt/rfs0 directory. The shared samba directory actually mounts at /storage/rfs0. No biggie. I go to that directory to run ./su. The su command runs, and I can see a pop up notification on my phone indicating the adb shell has been granted admin rights. The problem is that the ./su command never returns. As a matter of fact, if I just left it sit there, I get the admin rights pop up notification on my phone about once per minute so it seems like the su command is in some loop.

At this point I am stuck. I cant remount my file system as read/write without SU. I can run the ./su command in a different process, either in another adb shell or with the ./su& command but that does me no good as I cant execute any root commands in that same process.

Is there something that needs to change with the su command for the newer version my phone is running? I am running 9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5.

Thanks.

Rather than having 500000000 threads comparing GS4 to One, put all your thoughts in here.

Don't forget to vote.

Here is a good list posted by -]Megacharge[- - which I think most would agree with - if you came to the thread looking for quick overview, here it is:

S4:

-Bigger screen

-Removable storage

-Removable battery

-Can use screen with gloves on

-Marginally faster benchmark scores in the S600 version

-Much faster benchmark scores in the Exynos version

-TouchWiz including a bunch of S-software (which some people may find useful - HTC's betting on design as their number one selling point. Samsung's doing the same with software features)

-IR LED (TV Remote)

-Android 4.2.2

[Gorilla Glass 3, 1.9MHz clock speed, DDR3, thinner, lighter, bigger display in smaller footprint]

One:

-Higher PPI and color accuracy

-Design

-IR LED (TV Remote)

-Dual front facing speakers (great speakers)

-Dual membrane mics

-Sense 5 (incredibly fluid with no lag and looks more "adult" than touchwiz)

-Low light camera performance

-Android 4.1.2

[Gorilla Glass 2, 1.7MHz clock speed, DDR2, chunkier, a little heavier, aluminium body]

LOOkS and BUILD QUALITY-htc wins..

CPU - samsung.. because having those a15 is really gonna help that 1080 screen on heavy tasks..

GPU- samsung again.. people who game will really find it better.. and it being power vr means games wil get better optimized faster amd be better on the s4..

SD slot, removable battery- samsung

MUSIC HEADPHONE quality- no idea.. but beats suck

And dont know if samsung is using that wolfson dac which is good af

SCREEN- no one wins .subjective.. I love amoleds and that 1080 amoled looks sexy. But the htc also has one hell of an lcd screen

UI- subjective.. I find sense better but blinkfeed is nonsense. But touchwiz is functional

DEVELOPMENT- samsung... and S- off sucks..lol..

BATTERY- Ssamsung.. looking at samsungs history of phones, they always had better battery.. I heard htc one has come up though.. byt u bet the new s4 will be even better than the s3 and htc one

Samsung also has some extra features which maybe considered as gimmicks.. but zoe,drama shot , erase features and other editing stuffs are in both..

I might buy both... htc for that built, but in the end samsung for that power and development wins it all

.....
[Galaxy S 4 General] Option58:
HTC has louder sound and better on speakers.

HTC is full of metal vs Samsung plastic - so better build quality.

HTC has better AnTuTu scores and higher clock. (GSIV has 1.6Ghz - says gsmarena.com).

HTC has famous "Sense" which is way better than Touchwiz in my opinion.

HTC's camera is better on dark places.

HTC is more compact.

HTC has better xda development. (Exynos is bad documentated and HTC already has great devs workin' on it - and yeah team Venom).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not sure about GPU, I'd say Samsung is better.

Samsung has bigger screen.

Samsung has head moving are pausing things

Floating touch (I would turn it off but I would say floating touch games maybe - that would be interesting).

Samsung will update its device way more than HTC to newer android versions.

Samsung has external SD up to 64GB. So you could have impressing 126GB of memory for your files!

Samsung has better camera in my opinion.

Samsung has bigger battery.

Samsung is more sold device - more support (bit that doesn't mean anything).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tie:

AMOLED vs SLCD - depends on person.

Hard to break or easily removable battery.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall HTC is better as "pure android experience or AOSP and pure performance and great made phone".

And Sammy software things and functionality.

But I think I am going for HTC if screen is big enough. :D

[Galaxy S 4 General] slapdaddy:
I'll break this down to two simple facts.

1. Expandable storage is a deal breaker for me. The One has no expandable storage, so when you run out of space, you're done - time to start eating up your mobile data plan for cloud services. Deal breaker.

2. S-Off is terrible. Something tells me one reason HTC stopped providing expandable storage slots in their phones is due to the way the Vivid had to be S-Off'ed. You have to short out a contact point on the phone's main board with the ground on the SD slot to hack the damn S-Off. Maybe this was a major flaw and combined with other reasons, they just decided they would scrap the storage slot altogether. Without S-Off, the whole process of flashing new ROMs becomes more tedious and annoying. And let's not forget that you can scrap the idea of flashing new radios to your device if you can't S-Off an HTC phone. HTC is not too developer-friendly lately...

Is it even possible to S-Off the One X or X+? I haven't looked at those boards in detail in quite a while.

Wow that was a long answer for two simple facts. :P

[Galaxy S 4 General] phjnky:
I know many people are not fans of the home button, but I use the hell out of it my S3 and I prefer to use it when activating the display from sleep mode. Many times when my phone is just laying on the table, I can just hit the home button and swipe down for messages or to change songs etc. I just find it much more easy to access than the power button. I do prefer the look of the HTC over the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 General] slapdaddy:
Stereo speakers on a device that small, the HTC One, is pointless anyway. The whole point of stereo is so you can differentiate the sounds in each ear, thereby creating the stereo effect. With two speakers so close together, the sounds will mesh together by the time they hit your ears anyway, making a more monaural sound.

I think the only real advantage HTC has is the build quality of the phone. But that advantage is moot to me because I always put a nice case on whatever phone I buy.

Please point out any errors in my reasoning. I think I made a decent case, care to actually make one yourself?
[Galaxy S 4 General] zomgalama:
I don't understand this storage business if the minimum available storage option for a phone is 32GB?

How many things do most people put on their phones? All the people I know who own a GS3 have a 16GB model with no micro SD card and they continuously make the lack of expandable storage on recent phones a big deal.

At the moment I have no idea which one I want more, I will likely get the GS4 because HTC One has a good chance at not showing up on Verizon. (entirely Verizon's fault though, looks like Verizon has been screwing over HTC for quite awhile recently, the lack of expandable storage was due to Verizon not HTC on the DNA; and the One's availability looks like to be another Verizon issue; I also am pretty positive for it developement being slightly better than the DNA since it is multicarrier)

I do really like the GS4 though, it's design was something I did not like on the GS3 either though.
