Greetings,

after a while at the forums i noticed a lack of info for Mac users;

So, today i´m gonna teach how to root and install a custom recovery, via MacOS.

I'm not responsible for any harm in your device(s); do it at your own risk.

First comes first, so you´re gonna need to download adb/fastboot for Mac; here´s the link where you can download it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1917237

Then, from one of the 2 custom recoveries, you have to choose one; they´re both very simple to use, so...choose one (Chainfire recommends Clockworkmod):

For Clockworkmod, the link is :

http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager

For Team Win Recovery Project, the link is:

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/find5/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-find5.img

Make a shortcut of "Terminal" at the Desktop; you can add it from \Applications\Utilities.

You can root your phone too; the best, for me, is SuperSU from Chainfire;

http://download.chainfire.eu/204

After download all the files you´re gonna need, now there´s how to do it.

1 - Place the "android" downloaded directory in Desktop;

2 - Copy the recovery you chose and SuperSu to "android" directory;

3 - Shutdown your Find5;

4 - Turn it on to Fastboot pressing Power and Volume Up same time until appears at the screen the image 1;

5 - Plug your Find5 to your Mac via USB;

6 - Open a terminal, and type:

cd desktop

cd android

./fastboot devices

./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-find5.img

7 - Unplug your Find5 and turn it off pressing power button for about 10 seconds;

8 - Turn your Find5 on to recovery pressing Power and Volume Down same time...it´s gonna take a while.

You have now a custom recovery installed in your Find5.

To Root it via ClockWorkMod, follow the next instructions:

1 - Plug your Find5 to your Mac, while you are in recovery;

2 - Select "install zip from sideload" using your volume buttons to navigate and power as enter;

3 - At the "terminal" type:

./adb sideload CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip

4 - At recovery, press "reboot system"; it´s gonna appear the image 2, please don´t freak out, it´s normal.

You have now a Find5 rooted.

Cheers

Special thanks to:

All the guys at ClockWorkMod, Team Win Recovery Project, Chainfire and AshtonTS.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Stekke:
Guy,

After not having any answers on my other questions can somebody ùaybe answer the following question so that I can continue prepping my s100.

If I want to go for MKS bis storage what rom do I have to get the first 416 bytes from. My qtek was originally french 1.11 but I already upgraded it to 1.12 (through USB). I naturally had to use the no id patch.

If I now flash my rom with a big storage one instead of upgrading through a USB connection. Will I also have some country problem? Do I first have to make my qtek french again or now that it is english will it always work?

An finally. Can I really damage something? If something should go wrong can I still use the USB connection to put a working rom back.

Thanks for any info, I'd like to go for big storage but without knowing these things I don't have the confidence to start on it.

Regards,

Stekke.

Hello. I'm testing many roms.

If I try one based on .96 kernel (rom kernel, Jelly Slim), eveything works fine.

If I change my kernel to install Pure R3 rom, my internet doesn't work anymore, like not getting internet parameters from my operator.

I've updated baseband (.96 V2), no effect.

Any idea ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kumbangdesa:
You have to insert APN setting manually. Try contact your telco provider or google the setting.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cestmoi79:
U'r right !

I've seen an app (apn backup & restore) that export those params, but it can't import them on JB.

Probably a right problem ...

Is there a tool for this ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kumbangdesa:
Not sure about that friend..Usually I'm insert the setting manually if the new rom I flash cannot received the Internet setting.. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:

[HTC One X] linterd:
Hi Guys,

I turned my One X off on Saturday morning and put it in the sock drawer. Turned it back on this morning and it wont go past the lock screen before restarting. I can set it in to recovery mode no problem, just can't get any further than lockscreen.

It's Vodafone locked, running stock Voda rom, locked Boootloader. Haven't messed around with this one! Any way to get this working without losing all the content on it? It's all backed up to the cloud except my movies and music and I don't want to lose them!

If not, how can I get it working again?

Many thanks,

Dan
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
switch it off and charge it
[HTC One X] linterd:
Really? Is this a common fault?
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
its a common fault for any device that runs off a battery, if there is only a little charge it will start up and get so far then switch off again. try and charge it, if it isn't the problem then at least that is ruled out. but really, if all you did was put it in a drawer there can't be much else wrong with it, unless the the sock monster jumped up and down on it then ran it under the tap when you wern't looking
[HTC One X] linterd:
Ahh, it wasn't turning off, it was continuously rebooting. Its been on charge for quite a while now and its still doing the same.

What's the next step?
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
If it wont stay off try this :- boot into bootloader then press power button until you see fastboot usb screen then use volume keys to move down to "power down".

Once it is off you need to plug it into a wall charger,

not pc

, and leave it for at least Two hours, preferably Three or Four hours. if it wont stay off just leave it looping and plugged into the wall charger
[HTC One X] linterd:
No no, the first issue wasn't that it wouldn't turn on due to low battery, it was that it continuously rebooted. Its off and charging now, has been for a good 4 hours. Still not staying on when it gets to lock screen, just continuously rebooting!
[HTC One X] Thant:
You have two option unlock bootlader and flash custom recovery and after this you can mount the sd card from the custom recovery and backup your sd card. After this flash again stock recovery and do factory reset or try from stock recovery factory reset and cross finger don't lose any information on sd card! For stock when you are in bootlader choice RECOVERY and when you are in stock recovery push volume up + power button. That is the way!!!
[HTC One X] linterd:
Can you give me the link to a programme to do this? Absolute novice! Thank you :)
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
Novice and can't read either. your problem is not unique and can be found in many threads if you search. in your picture there is a line in red "factory reset" use the volume key to move down to it then press the power button to start the process, then plug the phone in to the wall like I told you earlier and leave it for hours
[HTC One X] linterd:
I'm just looking for some help mate, no need to be like that. You haven't given that advice at all, and without having the correct programme on my computer to do this, I can't really just factory reset.

Sent from my Z
[HTC One X] Thant:
What program do you need this is just factory reset? Program for what do you need explain me like I am an IDIOT.

Just try it with FACTORY RESET! You dont need any program for this!
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
you are correct in saying I didn't give that advice, but [MENTION=2528998]Thant[/MENTION] did, which is why I said you couldn't read. This is a developers site, by developers for developers, you are a guest, nobody is under any obligation to help you but they do because they are nice but when it comes to trying to help someone who is not taking a blind bit of notice it gets a little annoying. You have all of the answers you need in the previous posts, pay attention to them and look at the picture that YOU provided. in red it says factory reset, use it.

And judging by the state of the screen I wouldn't be surprised if it is a hardware fault.
[HTC One X] linterd:
Thanks for your advice guys. I now have a one x which is working but all the data has been wiped.

I'm sure you two would have started out as novices. The way you spoke to me was unnecessary.

Sent from my Z
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
you try repeating yourself about 20 times a day and see if you get annoyed. there is a search button for a reason,

all the information you needed was already there

, and even when we repeated it you still took no notice so we think it was necessary. thats the end of it!!

Help

Please, I beg the experts for help!

I read all this stuff but I can´t solve my problem. I started used my HTC One X yesterday (it´s a brand new one). After installing some programs from Google Play, the system asked me if I want to make an upgrade from Android (I don´t remember wich version). I agreed with it, the system made a huge download and restarted the equipment. After this, the cell phone keeps in a loop, it starts in the white inicial frame (HTC - quietly brilliant) and boot, all day long...

I tried to make a reboot, factory reset, all the things in the root menu (power + vol down), but the problem remains.

My cell phone´s menu show these informations:

*** LOCKED ***

Does anybody could please help me?
[HTC One X] Thant:
you are luky guy have S-OFF device. You can unlock your bootloader and flash stock rom and receive the update you are with too low hboot 1.12. you can manualy update your hboot to 1.39 and flash stock rom 3.20.401.1 and wait for update to 4.2.2
[HTC One X] Diogo_HTCOneX:
Thant, thanks a lot! :good:

If you cold help me a little bit, I really really thank you. I´m a beginner and I´m not used to do these kind of things. Could you please show me where I can find instructions, for beginners, teaching how to unlock bootloader and flash stock? And where I can found these updates and the instructions to do these too?

Sorry to bother you with these easy steps...
[HTC One X] Thant:
First question are your phone is charged between 80-100%? If no charge the phone!!!

1. Download this RUU

2. Go in fastboot and connect the phone to computer

3. Run the RUU

Report what happend after this steps!

Similar problem!!

Hi,

I bought my One X 1 yr ago. Everything was fine until i updated to sense 5. After about a 3-4 weeks after the update my One X started to continuously reboot. This was the first time. The looping lasted for about 5 min and i felt relieved. After about a month later, same thing repeated and it lasted for abt 2 hrs. Yesterday again it started crazily restarting and it has not stopped until the battery ran out. When i plug in the charger, it again goes to restarting. It is not stopping at all. Also when it restarts it lasts only for 2 secs and i dont get the oppurtunity to simulate battery removal or reset the phone. I'm fed up. !!!PLZ HELP!!! :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
I am on .510 firmware Vietnamese, rooted via VROOT.

Not that it cost me money to root, so there's no such thing as a waste maybe, but all I have done so far is Titanium backup and Greenify.

This post is a 3-part question.

A) How to remove, and which bloatwares to remove.

Performance is not an issue with SD 800, but anything to help battery life is a welcome. My understanding of system and resources, and ability to understand which resources are (un)necessary stops me taking adventures. But I suspect that some unnecessary apps are using my resources, therefore battery.

Greenify, I hate to report, does not help with battery life at all. If anything, performance battery wise worsens.

So, is removing some apps a recommendation? Is removing different to disabling in setting>apps>force stop/disable?

I do not use Google+ or Hangouts, and a few others. Currently disabled only. IS there a benefit in uninstalling these apps? If yes, how?

B) Chrome browser

I love this phone. Nothing bad to say about it except maybe this... Since there is a tablet element to this phone, I would like to see it use tablet mode when surfing with chrome. The differences between tablet mode and phone mode are subtle, but I still prefer the tablet mode, and would like to try it. Whether it is a good move or not would only be known after trying it. Does anyone know how to modify it so that it works in tablet mode?

C) WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND that I install, modify or remove?

Thanks in advance

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Use Titanium to delete/freeze the apps you don't want to use. It'll mark apps in red if they're not safe to remove/freeze.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
with root i can use the full pie controls app now - also increased the dpi from 320 to 350, also now able to change the cpu governor and scheduler, now just waiting for some nice rom and tweaked kernels to make it worth while to unlock the bootloader
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
I will give it a try!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Thanks for reply. Is freezing with Titanium any different to 'disable' in settings>apps?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Gorgtech:
Hello,

I bought a Asus Nexus 7 II 32GB Wifi only "flo" ( 2013 ) and had at first some trouble with my first unit. Multitouch was working out of the box, unfortunately I´ve spotted two dust particles below the screen and got a replacement device. The replacement seemed to work fine at first, the multitouch bug was present at first.

Having flashed the latest TWRP, it was ok after. This unit also had a dead pixel ( I thought it was a dust particle at first since it resembled a black spot ), I wanted to keep this one though and maybe exchange it again after a while.

Well, the dead pixel is gone by now and I think I have a possible answer for this ;) I´ve installed the latest elementalx kernel, OCed the GPU at 487Mhz and CPU up to 1,944Ghz and set the thermal throttling as low as possible. You have to be careful since you may not only burn your fingers or fry the CPU..the battery doesn´t like to be heated up for a long time and may die very soon.

Having played some games and heated up the device badly, I tried the screen tester again but was not able to spot the dead pixel again. Everything seems to be ok now :good:

This method may help if one small transistor is stuck and by heating it up you may revive it if you´re lucky enough. If you have a faulty display and you want to change your device, you still have nothing to lose.

I´ve run the screen tester several times after and I don´t see any dead pixels anymore.

1. Download the toolkit herehttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809195

2. Install the toolkit to the default C:\ folder it tells you to

3. When launching the toolkit it will ask you which version of android you're running. 2.2

4. Install the device drivers (option 1)

5. Download 4.3 from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images (specifically download ' Factory Images "nakasi" for Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi), version 4.3 (JWR66V))

6. Put the factory image in: C:\Google_Nexus_7_ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here\

7. Turn off your Nexus 7, turn it back on holding the power button and both volume + and volume -

8. Plug in the USB cable

9. Select "option 3 - unlock / relock bootloader" and follow the steps, it will the come up on the Nexus 7 telling you you're about to unlock it; us the volume buttons and power button to select ok

10. Select "option 9 - Download, Extract and Flash google factory stock rom"

11. Select "option 2 - flash google factory image" on the next screen

12. Follow the instructions typing yes where it needs (Note. the checksum did not match), keep following the instructions..

13. Device will reboot after it transfers across and boot into 4.3 - complete the setup process

14. After the setup process is finished, plug it back in and select 'option 3' and relock the bootloader!!

And BOOYA There you have it :highfive:

So What goes into the folder "put_google_factory_image_here" YOU ASK :D

You put the unextracted .tgz in the folder. The program will extract it for you​

Other options for Nexus7= reinstall firmware 4.2.2 using the Google Nexus 7 Toolkit (found at:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809195 WARNING: THIS DOES WIPE YOUR DATA!

When I received the phone only the GSM SIM is detected, the CDMA SIM isn't detected despite using the same 800 Mhz frequency band (CDMA 2000). I then tried to download a ROM file from a chinese forum shuajizhijia.com, after the flash my phone kept rebooting itself continuously.
