[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] popotamus:
My One was acting weirdly after I installed Circle Battery Widget Reborn. I couldn't get past the lock screen.

I held down the power button expecting power down or reboot options, but i ended up getting a message with a countdown telling me to continue holding until it hard boots.

I guess it was an endless loop and my phone was actually frozen.

The HTC One S and One X from last year also did not have a removable battery, and this would be the same way how you hard boot those phones as well. Only difference is that instead of a countdown message, the phone's lights/led's would flash 5x or so until it hard booted.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] TechSavvy2:
I assume its the same as my DNA was. Hold the power button for ~5 seconds and it would hard reboot. And it worked, no matter the state of the phone.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Dacp283:
Hold the power button for approximately ten seconds and it will force a hard restart. I had to do it while unlocking and flashing CWM.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] syaoran68:
What :thumbup: he said. Actually with this phone now it's more like 5 - 7 seconds. I had to do this when I was unlocking the bootloader and getting root

[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
CPU temp is the important one, this one shows that, as well as CPU, GPU and thermal control, OOM killer, bus mod and some other stuff that could work if we get some good kernels: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tegraoverclock

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iulian vu:
It is possible to close running apps in the background, for good ? Before I run a game , I force close all the apps what I don't need them in that time (like facebook,google play etc) , but after few seconds or minutes those "stupid" apps are running again . What can I do to close them for good , and open them only when I want ?I tried Advanced task killer, Super booster but they are efficient only for short period . And of course because those apps are starting to run again in background, the game became laggy. Any solution?

Hello everyone,

I would like to share with you a root tool that worked with me for Star N9500 MTK6589 and should work on most similar devices too.

Although this tool is made for Motorola it worked for me!

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

1.Download this file to your PC.

2.Extract the entire contents of the zip file.

3.If you are using Windows, ensure you have installed the latest MTK USB drivers available for your phone.

4.Ensure USB Debugging mode is enabled on your device.

5.If you are using Windows, navigate to the extracted directory and execute “run.bat”. If you are using Linux or OS X, navigate to the extracted directory in a terminal and execute “./run.sh”.

i m not stupid :p thl w7+ can't be rooted until now. Nobody has released a custom rom, neither rooting method for this, instead of thl w8, neither cwm. I extracted system image, put su, supersu etc with right permissions, but supersu says it failed to update su binary. anyway, i ll try to other mtk6589 phones when i receive again

See my guide "Foolproof method to rooting Star N9500" which gives clear instructions for rooting the N9500/MTK6589 phones.

Hello all,

Just bought a Goophone i9 and a Huawei Ascend Mate.

I've just ordered a Colorfly CT132 QTiny and now a Mini pad1 p7!

With the Goophone, I have the English CWM, for any Chinese ROM; I just copy the English recovery.img across, but this phone uses scatter.txt for installing ROMs.

I'm looking forward to rooting both these contraptions!

I had the exactly same problem. Did you solve it? I didn't. Triple checked everything. Tried on the another PC. First installed the MediaTek drivers. Successfully. There was one error at first. I can access files over USB on the phone.

I have Zopo C2 (ZP980), was doing this with no SIM card, in Airplane mode. Tried on two phones on two computers -- no success. Others did it, as I can see in this thread. Any hints? Thanks!
[Android Software Development] owim:
This is a reply to myself -- I rooted the phone! :)

Problem was obviously a bad / not working MTK driver. I don't know. I saw a YT video using Windows software called SnapPea, I installed it and it installed drivers by itself (as "HTC" in Hardware Manager on Win7, displayed as ZP980 in SnapPea). Then I started batch for root -- it worked.

Here are some screens to show possible errors and a result.

Obvious problem with MTK USB drivers on two different computers, different HW, but "successfully installed":

STAR H7000+ root success anyone?

I am interested in buying a STAR H7000+ with quadcore (MTK6589), doing some brainstorming upfront.

Did any owner of such a phone succeed rooting it with the methods described here?

How similar is it to other STAR phone like th N9500 that apparently CAN be rooted?

Newer Chinese phones (eg Megadroid/Minotaur/Colorado) are sold pre-rooted, which makes a lot of sense, as a phone without root access can not even be backed up correclty.

Any advice - thanks!
