Thanks!

Well, it took several tries, but I finally got my Rise rooted. I think the problem I was having was when switching between the downloads, I closed the window with Poot, instead of just switching to an already open one to go to the next step, if that makes any sense.

Thanks again!

Gonna try it on my $ 9.99 ( thanks Target) boost hydro 4.0.4 , 1.01bt this week. Wish me luck. :fingers-crossed:

Should I download all the files on a bigger then stock sd card first, then install before the root?
[Android General] gogomouse1:
Well, my Rise ran much better after rooting. But I just went and bought a Moto G, and I want to give my Rise to my friend, but stupidly, I never thought I'd need to unroot it. So I need the stock ROM & apps, as well as a step-by-step guide.

Anyone?

It works, follow directions in op. nothing more to say.
[Android General] rwilcher:
Another happy rooter here

Following the steps from your tutorial , I successfully rooted my Kyocera hydro!. It's a C5170 phone running 4.0.4 kernel. Had a few hiccups related

to the Superuser app not setting perms right . Changed to the paid version of SuperSU and things fell into place. Also got busybox pro,live dmesg

and live logcat working without too much gas. I installed some things just to make sure I was really rooted. SuperBackup Rootexplorer work great

on it .Seems that some of the free apps have troubles so I spent about $10.00 total on apps to get it working o.k. I am as happy as a sissy in boystown.

Am using the sparephone app to make free calls via WiFi . Some things did look hairy at times but as I am a Linux fanatic I am used to the

occasional hairy experience. Kudos to you for a well considered tutorial. It's stable enough that I intend on learning to write apps using it.

USB debugging works good so I am happy. Thanks++ :cool:

thank you so much. this worked on my hydro with installing 2 aps poot and ministro. easiest root ever thanks again
[Android General] Stef20:
Install the card?
[Android General] romeojunior:
This should be the only tutorial used for these phones. I already knew to ONLY check here for phone programming and the like.

When I didnt see the phone listed in devices, I looked elsewhere and spent ALL DAY trying to root this cheap little phone (the Hydro).

It serves me fit that I end up back where I started, follow all the directions, and finish in 10 minutes.

Why would all the other tries with Poot and Ministro not work and yet this one did?

If I had to guess? Perhaps its because I downloaded these exact versions of both apps,...or perhaps changing the setting to make sure the phone did not sleep while installing under debugging was what did it. These are the only 2 things I can pinpoint that were different.

The next time I installed and started Superuser it was obvious that this time it worked. Thanks Dad.

Root procedure outlined

Just giving you heavy props man I had absolutely no problem following your detailed procedure and using the helpful advice on what apps worked best for the Kyocera Hydro 4.0.4 I still see posts that say it can't be rooted but thats a load of poo because I love my phone now and I can control whats on it, how I dress it up, how it performs, and use wifi tethering with no issues. BIG THUMBS UP!!!:cool:
[Android General] TechDad378:
Tested root on Hydro v4.0.4. Verified root works properly and updated tutorial. The Tutorial is now for both Rise and Hydro.

Xposed Framework works for both devices as well. Though no custom ROMs are available at this time Xf gives you a lot of custom features.

Root after reset questions....

I used this method to root my Rise and it worked beautifully. Thank you. Fast forward a year or so and the MicroSD card failed. The phone's limitations have been frustrating me for a while and most of my expansion was on that card, so I could wait for a new card and **** with trying to transfer accessible data, or I could just reset the phone, which in my impatience and need for a working cell I did. Once rebooted, it promptly updated the firmware that had previously failed.

Now I have an updated version of the Kyocera Rise on Sprint.

What I interestingly discovered is that the phone remained rooted after the update, but with the hacked stock su (no questions asked). I backed up the binary and attempted to install a new superuser (ChainsDD, Chainfire, and open source version), but neither works; executing su just hangs for a while then eventually denies. So I am currently with the decision of unsecured root, or no root (save my backed up binary in terminal).

Soooo, before I potentially permanently unroot or brick my Rise, does anyone have experience with this scenario and what is my best course of action?

---

My primary intention with this device is as a mobile hotspot (which requires root to bypass Sprint limitations) until I can switch cell service to the HTC (why that hasn't happened yet is another story). After that it will be mostly a portable remote access device, where the hardware keyboard can be most useful.

Thank you again.

- D-cat

[Android General] dcatoffm:
Okay, so I re-ran poot which technically failed (demon has materialized ) but not before reinstalling the hacked Superuser su binary. I then reinstalled Superuser (ChainsDD) from the play store, and amazingly it just worked with no further steps. I'm now off to find a free sql editor that actually works in root mode. Thank you.

Edit:

Forget SQL editing, Open Garden WiFi Tether works with no bs. Just saying. Been using for about three weeks as of this edit/update. :)
[Android General] aarongillion63:
Problems *AFTER* rooting

I rooted my Hydro and Galaxy Centura with this method, rooting was easy. Thank you for that.

I have run into another problem, however, with the su binary itself. It's functions are extremely limited. I am trying to run this command in terminal emulator, which works *fine* on ADB without su permissions at all: "am force-stop com.spotify.music". This also works inside my app and on terminal emulator on 4.1 JB. But, either it's Android ICS or (what I'm thinking) the su binary, the shell force closes, sending infinite double-vibrates. I also cannot update the binaries through Superuser or SuperSU.

I have two questions:

1. Can I updates binaries manually? Can I copy su from any root method and paste it thru adb? I feel that I can at least use bin4ry's su file, if his download site decides to work.

2. Can you verify that this is not just me, aka a widespread issue? By just trying to force stop an app without a usb cable?

3. Am I just too tired and missing something here? It does work on JB using SuperSU.

Thanks
[Android General] dcatoffm:
In my experimenting, I have found that what ever kernel Kyocera is using for the Rise and Hydro is designed specifically to trap the calls made by standard selective su binaries and send them to nul, effectively causing a locked terminal or eventually auto deny. The su supplied by poot is a cracked version designed to get around this trap. It only works with SuperUser, and you cannot update the binary and maintain functionality (the new su will be subject to the trap). I'm afraid once you have pooted, what you see is what you get.

---
[Android General] TechDad378:
I came to a conclusion a while ago about this device that confirms your thoughts about the kernel. The phone has a built in panic mode when it boots. It verifies the start and end of the block address. If it doesn't match it automatically reboots.

The closes you can get to make changes is by using the xposed framework. Because XF runs off the cache but you lose it from time to time.

The bootloader keys are stored on Kyocera servers in order to unlock the bootloader.

If they would provide those keys the unlock process would be similar to other phones (ex. Motorola unlock process). So since kyocera won't unlock the bootloader any custom recoveries or ROMs are myths. :(

[Android General] jimmytwosocks:
Kyocera rise Virgin Mobile root no pc (4.4.2)

Download Kingroot from xda , the latest version and run it.It works!...Then, download super sume from the play store to replace outdated binaries in king root with Super SU...Now, are there any custom recoveries?...be aware this phone bit loops easily if any modification to boot is made, including kernel tweaks, aside from the regular ones involving the cpu.God luck and safe play.

[Android General] TechDad378:
There will always be multiple ways to do the same thing on any device. It seems you are interested in promoting yourself through this post.

Kingroot is a completely different method. A one stop shop for root will always cause problems. This means all devices are being rooted through the same vulnerability found by Kingroot. Which leads to potential security issues when too many devices have the same root process.

I tried to unlock bootloader and got a boot loop.

Then i flashed the 343 FTF but it continue and now i dont have recovery to shut down the phone.

I think the battery will go 0% soon.

how can i at least shut the phone down? pls..

Sry to create a Thread but i dont have much time to search more :/

EDIT:

I finally got the phone to start, so i'll tell the "history" here to people that get the same problem as me, and ask some question before do anything wrong again.

History:

1- I was on .343, rooted, bootloader locked. Decided to install the 1.253 rooted version with dual recovery. Everything was fine, working great.

2- Then i passed to unlock the bootloader. Followed that thread... everything seemed normal again... disconnected the phone and powered it up.

3- The boot loop started. Got the sony logo, the lights flowing, and restarted... again, again, again

4- I entered TWRP tried to do a factory reset, got a error message... can remember what, but something about mounting...

5- Shut down the phone using TWRP. Opened flashtool and flashed the .343 TFT, Everything ok again, unpluged the phone and started it. (Didnt choose to wipe data and cache).

6- The phone boot loop again. That time without recovery. I got desperate and posted that topic.

7- Finally got the phone to shut down.(thanks boyob32). power button+volume up until it vibrates 3 times.

Basically is that.

SOLUTION:

Searching more calmly i found that thread. Used the Flahstool again (that time wipping data and cache).

The phone finally started up!

Now some question to not make myself a fool again.

1- What could i made wrong?

2- I'm a little scared to try to unlock bootloader again... Since i got no error when doing it first time, is it already unlocked?

3- when i was using flashtool with the phone in bootloop got some errors messagens regarding drives. Before that everything was OK. Should i install them all over again?

4- Can i unlock the bootloader before update to .253?

thanks again. you guys are great!

PS: I can't edit the topic title, sry for that.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mexicouger:
Hello all, I have been trying to find a working wifi tether for my Optimus G. I have tried the Wifi tether app, and it works, but once I turn it off, I can't enable it again until I restart my phone. It also corrupts my wifi driver until I restart my phone.

I have also used the built in wifi tether mod used within cyanogenmod(and it's modded roms), and it works beautifully, but I just don't like using the roms it's built into.

I have also tried Barnacle with no luck.

So, is there any other solutions to Wifi tethering applications(Not usb or bluetooth)? Is it possible to flash or remove the wifi tether part of cyanogenmod for use with the stock(or lifeless) rom?

Anyways, thanks guys

can anyone temme how can i send a file (.mp3 .mpeg etc etc) to my o2 xda II sd card, when i use microsoft active sync it goes in the ram of the xda II, where as i wanna send the files to my sd card but dunno how to....???

ne suggestions....??

what do you mean with 'send"?

With Windows Explorer I can (and I suppose you can also) browse my "Mobile device" and there I can copy any file from any location on my pc to any location on my XDA and vice versa.

One of the subdirectories of "Mobile Device" is "Storage Card"

by send i mean i wanna transfer a .mp3 .mpeg or etc etc on ma xda II, anyways....ive read wat ur column and what i understand from that is....i open my computer and double click on MOBILE DEVICE then i double click on MY POCKET PC and over there i can see many folder one of them says STORAGE, so to store any data in my SD CARD i go to that folder and save the file there ?? RIGHT ???
[General Topics] zairyaab:
n yeah uptill now i have been saving .mp3 etc etc in my pocket_pc's documents that is on the desktop of my computer..... i just drag and drop the file in that folder and used ms active sync to sync the folder and that saves the file on ma XDA II's ram.....not in the SD Card.

please elaborate a bit on the details how to save a file on the SD CARD...regards n thanks for help.....

[General Topics] cheapapples:
You are almost right. After you have double clicked on 'My Pocket PC' you should see a folder called 'storage card', this is the one you want to paste your mp3's, etc into.

There is a folder called 'storage' but this is NOT your sd card, I believe it is the bit of RAM left over from the operating system install, and is normally only about 14Mb.

Hope this helps

when you connect you're xda2 to your pc a sync window will pop up.

Installing VMWare Player and getting 'UbuntuHost' running

I'm assuming you have downloaded the VMWare Player application suitable for your system. Installing it is a basic knowledge to most Windows users, so I'm not going to elaborate on the actual installation.

I'm also assuming you have downloaded the VM. You can now unpack it to your Documents folder.

Now, fire up VMware player and when you see the following...

Then click on 'Open a Virtual Machine' and navigate to the folder you just extracted:

Click on the UbuntuHost.vmx and confirm the choice. You'll end up with this view:

Now you can either double click on the name in the list on the left or click play on the right to start it.

Remember, the password is xdauser

NOTE: This Ubuntu has the Unity interface which means, among other things, the menus are moved from the application window to the top bar. Move your mouse over it and the menus will appear.

And you are ready for the next chapter!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Preparing the FTF for NOOB use

Why would you do that? Well... to make sure you won't screw up flashing the wrong bits and make it erase your userdata... better safe then sorry! :)

This step is actually also needed to unpack the system partition from the FTF you created using the guide I put in the OP.

Copy the FTF you created to the VM by dragging the file in to the VM window. You can see Ubuntu recognizes it as a ZIP, which it essentially is.

Open it by double clicking on it.

Now delete userdata.sin, cache.sin and appslog.sin from it. Then drag system.sin to the DIY Guide folder on the desktop. Once it's unpacked, delete system.sin from the FTF as well.

That was easy, wasn't it? :) Lets move on to the next chapter.
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Preparing and Extracting the ROM

Click on the Terminal icon on the left, type 'cd FlashTool' and then './FlashTool'.

NOTE: Use 'sudo' and your password you used to login to run FlashTool as root if you run in to problems.

In the Tools menu, you can select Sin Editor, select the system.sin in your DIY_Guide folder in your home.

Then click 'Extract data' to start the extraction, now go get a cup of coffee, this might take a while ;)

Once it's done you will end up with a file called 'system.ext4' inside your DIY_Guide directory.

Click Close and close FlashTool using the orange X in the top left corner.

You can rename it to something you like but it should end with '.ext4' to allow the scripts to recognize it. Just open up the DIY Guide folder on the desktop and right click on the system.ext4 file and choose 'Rename'. For purpose of demonstration I renamed mine to 'nuts.ext4' ;)

NOTE: The scripts allow for more then one flashable system to be created, so you can repeat the above multiple times, just remember to rename the system.ext4 to something else, otherwise you'll just end up overwriting the same file over and over again :)

Because of size considerations, the virtual disk is not really big (10Gb) so you'll run out of space fairly quickly, do not forget to empty the trash after this step!

That's it for this chapter, lets move on!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [NUT]:
Building the (unsigned) flashable ZIP

Now we can open the Terminal by clicking on the icon on the left with the '>_' sign in the 'monitor'. Change directory to DIY_Guide and type 'ls -la' to show the following

You can start the build process using the rombuilder script by typing './rombuilder' and it will ask you for your password before it starts.

Once it successfully mounts the system partition it will open it for you. The script will pause for you to complete whatever modifications you want to do to it. Remember the XDA Mantra? Well... a backup would be good to make right now.

If you have more then one system.sin extracted, the above process will repeat itself until it passes all the various .ext4 files it has found.

NOTE: The mounted ext4 image has been mounted as root and as the contents are owned by root, you will need to sudo your actions when modifying the contents!

Tip: To make it easy on yourself you can use the terminal to open a file manager running as root. Type ctrl+shift+t, this will open a new terminal tab. In there type 'sudo nautilus' which starts the file manager again, but with an appropriate warning at the top of the explorer window, that one will be running as root. Be careful, you might wreck your entire VM if you mess things up big!

Once you are finished with the modifications or just enter through to the next bit, it will pack up the system partition and repeat or when done it will continue to create a flashable ZIP for each of the different .ext4 files you created.

You're almost done! Lets move to the next chapter...
