I have said before that I have already tried official firmwares and yes the ones from sammobile and it doesnt help. Also my efs folder is empty
[General Questions and Answers] InkSlinger420:
Yes..and that subject doesn't get talked about enough..BACKUP YOUR EFS!!..and its empty now as its been wiped out...again, going to stock is your ONLY true way to get it back..I know you say you've tried that,but I repeat..ONLY

[General Questions and Answers] InkSlinger420:
What I'm telling you is something is wrong somewhere as there is NO OTHER WAY to get your efs back without stock..I know you say it didn't work, but something MUST not have flashed right, or maybe the wrong version/device...philz cwm recovery allows backing up efs as well as just dragging and dropping it to a safe place from your device IF you can manage to get it back to ensure this doesn't happen again..

HTC Inspire 4g root help.

O.K. i'm not sure where to post so this thread looked assuring to get some help..... I have rooted 2 phones using the ahk to remove carrier apps, and so I could be ready if and when I wanted to start learning to flash roms. I have an HTC inspire 4g that I ran the EasyAceRootTool on..... and it said I was done I clicked yes on the phone, rebooted but no superuser permissions, and rom manager will not flash clockworkmod. the bootloader screen says unlocked...... what else do i need to do?
[General Questions and Answers] migimantas:
Its also very strange after I flash firmware and the phone boots there is no language selection and google accounts signing. The phone already boots to the main menu. Also after long pressed power button there should pop up section there I should be able to choose between reboot/flight mode/ power off but there is no such a section the phone shuts down immediately. Also the custom binary download count in download mode shows 23 and doesn't change any more. Also if I choose flight mode from option the phone reboots.

Hi,

Total noob here (even the people asking noob questions sound pretty clued up to me!)

Just got a Novatech nTab2 9.7" tablet. Really well specced for a decent (uk) price...BUT...

Didn't come with google play installed, and play store won't run if I try to install an apk downloaded from here, so looks like I have to learn about rooting!

I see that there are "works on most android device" root tutorials, and I read through some, but I'm still pretty unsure of what I'm doing. Some threads seem to suggest that more modern devices are more resistant to rooting (I thought it was all perfectly legal... so don't see why they try and stop you!)

Anyways, my question is....is there any sensible steps I can take to find out if my tablet is resistant to rooting, or is there only one way to find out...

If I brick it, there'll be some swearing, but not the end of the world.

Any advice welcomed, and apologies for the noobness...I have spent a long time digging around this MASSIVE site for info on the ntab 2 but found nothing :(

Another option is to pay someone to do it...but most of the websites offering this service seem a bit dodgy :)
[General Questions and Answers] InkSlinger420:
I'm no help really on rooting that device, but about rooting being legal..technically it is, but manufacturers don't want average users having access to, and possibly damaging, critical system files..(so they then try to return or get repaired for free under warranty.)..that's why the first line of almost every post states "Flashing this will void your warranty"...now, to root, you are more than welcome to try apps like vroot and such..the worst that could happen is you don't get root..

[General Questions and Answers] InkSlinger420:
Check your screen on time...that's the first thing that kills the battery..people need to remember that these are phones (for the most part) but as specs rise (CPU,GPU,ram) they require mor battery,(hence why an old 600mhz android on GB gets 3 days batter and now we are lucky to get a day IF WE DONT TOUCH IT...lol..there are apps you can try to help hibernate background apps from running like "greenify" or "DU Battery Saver"..just make sure what options you choose in the battery savers as some disable service/WiFi when screen off and such..

Hello!

I installed Mackay ROM 4.4.2 to my SGS i9000. Now I can't watch videos on it, like YouTube and Vimeo. Not sure it's because of Mackay, but others have reported about the same issue.

So this guy showed up, giving a link to something you can flash in to your phone and apparently it will work then.

Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47593682&postcount=2

If I want to flash it, how do I do? Do I install it via Odin? Do I install it via TWRP? Is it safe to flash it over my current ROM? Do I have to clean any cache or data? Factory Reset?

Thanks in advance guys. Awesome community! :good:

Please help, Unable to flash using Flashtool.

Hi all!

I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia J & tried installing a custom rom but as the phone got bricked, i had to flash it with flashtool.

Unfortunately, i cannot flash any of the ftf's using flashtool.

It gets stuck as shown in the image attached. Please note that i tried with older as well as latest version of flashtool.

Kindly guide me regarding the same as my phone is dead. (Grey screen)

P.S.: I wasn't able to repair/upgrade my phone firmware with SEUS or PCC when the bootloader was locked either.

Regards!
[General Questions and Answers] CCVader13:
Sounds to me like you hard bricked your phone. If you can't flash anything via flashtool nor do a SEUS repair than your last chance is to take the phone to a repair shop and get it jtagged.

Hi guys. Not new to rooting but new to my AT&T S4. I rooted it tonight with Motochopper and installed CWM recovery. Downloaded and tried to flash a ROM, and it simply didn't work. Then I tried Beanstalk 4.2.2, and it downloads, but then when I rebooted it, it gave me the yellow triangle unauthorized software message. So I pulled the battery and finally got it to boot into recovery, then installed the back up I had from the stock OS. My question is two fold-what's causing this and if I download a ROM with the Loki patch, will that bypass the error message I'm getting. I'm pretty confused, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Little help with rooting Zoom 4G on 4.0.4

Hi,

So, I wanted to root my Zoom 4G (MZ602), and saw the link from XXLordsXX describing how to use the LAOIT tools at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468298

Things seemed to go well, I was able to backup, unlock, root, as well as checking for root. (there was an option in the tool to check the root).

All looked good, but when apps requested root access, they were denied.

I checked with several apps - none were able to get access:

ES File Explorer

Titanium Backup

Root Check Basic

I open the SuperUser App, and it does not have any information -

Log file was empty

Nothing in the Apps list

I had one slight problem during the procedure.

When It came time to run the "Update.zip" from the SD card -- I could not find it.

I thought that the script would of placed it on my SD card, but I guess not.

On a previous attempt at rooting, I had downloaded Xoom-Universal-Root.zip from a link on how to root zoom (http://www.xoomforums.com).

I compared the contents of this .zip file with the Update.zip file that is part of the LAIOT package, and they were the same.

So, instead of using Update.zip, I navigated to Xoom-Universal-Root.zip on my SD card and used that instead.

Second, immediately after rooting (I allowed the tablet to reboot)

I can the options to "Restore from Backup" and "Restore user data"

I don't think this would of caused the problem, but who knows.

Please, any suggestions, or thoughts on what could of gone wrong.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] MrJoker8989:
Would be a good start

Yes, I think it would be good start.

For me, (having a degree in computer science), and developing for longer than I care to remember, CS would be a good degree for anyone considering developing software. If your interested in developing the apps on in android, this would be a good choice.

A school in CS should teach you different languages (C++, C#, Java, python, HTML, etc...) as well as different operating systems (Unix, Windows, Andriod, IOS)

On the other hand, if your more interested in graphics -- then something along the lines of graphic arts -- which would be a different path -- stressing more on the art, than on the coding.

Additonally, if you get a good CS foundation, that would allow you to do pretty much any code developement -- regardless of the operating system, or the type of application (games, utilities, tools, control systems, database, operating systems AI).

One other thought, if your more into hardware & electronics, you could go more into a computer engineering/electrical engineering. There you would constrate on the HW circuits and interfacing between hardware and software - eg: device drivers, or embedded control

Hope this helps
[General Questions and Answers] Jane Shizuka:
So, I recently bought an android phone (already having an android tablet for a year or so, I`m not exactly brand new to android OS) and found the screen to be incredibly small if compared to the tablet. Since the screen was so big in the tablet I used to use a keyboard called "Thumb keyboard", which was great and had a very nifty feature: you could "favorite" a certain number of strings, and when you wished you would click the button curresponding to that string and you would paste it. So, for instance, I have in S1: "myemail@gmail.com", so whenever I want to input my e-mail somewhere I just click S1 and suddenly there it is.

With the phone, on the other hand i don't have as much space, so I had to use another keyboard (I'm thinking about swiftkey or swype atm), however I found no replacement to those handy important strings, are there any other apps or features that could help me with those?

HI all,

I have been using this site for some time but just signed up because I have an issue. I can't post in the appropriate thread cause I'm new so I'll start here.

It no longer boots the SD card either so I don't know how to flash the recovery, gapps, or restore stock or anything. Any ideas on how to get it to boot the card or how to install CWM recovery once you're stuck with emmc/native recovery?
