[HTC Wildfire S] Yeayer:
Hello, I just after 2 years repaired my old HTC Wildfire S (broken touch screen) and i just went into boot settings and I cleared storage (I just didnt know it means complete wipe), After that just new android update appeared, I downloaded it and then a screen appeared where was something about I am using custom ROM and it can not be updated. But I want to root my phone because its really slow (overclocking CPU) and i followed instructions on one thread here, but i got stuck simply in first step - unlocking bootloader. First step on HTCdev.com was installing RUU (I really dunno what it is) and there is not RUU for my ROM which is 1.33.401.3. So I ignored it and continued to next steps but after installing ADT bundle (its required on HTCdev but on printscreens was just different program so I was little bit confused) and then I copied adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe to C:\Android. After that I went to the step where I must open Command Prompt (or how its called) and obtain some "token" or what. It had to show some "code", but instead of code I obtained only error (<bootloader> [ERR] Command error !!! Okay [ 0.008s] finished. total time: 0.008s.) and I think its because I dont installed the RUU for my ROM. I found there similar thread but it went good with flashing HTC EU RUU (2.33.401.3), but when i tried to flash that RUU it said that it failed and I have to download RUU for my ROM. Can anybody please help me?

(I bought that phone from 1-2umobil.cz, it came with some polish ROM with installed some polish apps, but those apps, including the welcome and goodbye screen disappeared after I cleared the user data)

Hi,

how do i create a backup of my device (Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 Wifi) (nand or whatever) so i can always restore later on if i screw something up?

Is there already a way to reset flash counter?

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8nole:
Look in the Dev section and install either CWM or TWRP. They are custom recoveries that will allow you to create a backup of your current setup.

There is currently no way to reset the flash counter on the Tab 3s.

Would replacing the efs folder fix a lost or damaged imei?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Febby:
I've people seen fix their null imei by restoring their efs backup but it will only work I believe if done via the devices original efs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xmetalfan99:
I'm not sure what you said there but i made a copy of my non corrupt efs folder. In my mind if my imei does become corrupt i should be able to delete the corrupt folder and replace it with the copy to fix any issues.

Hi Folks,

we at the Recieved my Huawei Ascend Mate Threat thought of make it easier for future or new HAM users to root their phone.

For that i reread the whole Threat and extracted the various mentioned rooting options.

IMPORTANT!

Rooting with any of the mentioned methods obviously voids your warranty.

I think that everybody knows this by now, but I'm not responsible if something goes wrong

Having said these standard stuff lets kick off!

First I start with the Method I used and many others, and i think this is the simples rooting method i ever came across.

The easiest is Rooting your HAM with eRoot

1) Get the eRoot Programm from Version 1.2

<- This Works till B221

1.1)

For Higher Firmware Versions, like the new B905 use eRoot Version 1.3.4

2) Dig in your phone and enable usb debugging in developer options and in security enable unknown origin

3) Hook up your phone the your rig and on ask select MTP mode and install the Huawei HiSuite (phone drivers :D)

4) fire up eroot and let it find your phone, if it does hit root ...

5) reboot and that should be it

Confirmed to work on multiple Build Stages of the Stock Rom which currently is sporting version B221

Be aware that if your phone is bone stock you should firstly update the phones software to the newest possible version ...

-> B221 before rooting, otherwise it can cause problems

Second Rooting Method mentioned by PowerMan572

Detailed Instructions Here

i believe syaah used successfully this method

Third Method

Fourth Method

Fifth Method

Sixth Method

-> We havent confirmed it yet, but give it a go, it's a simple one klick method, everything is in the Threat:good:

That should be all methods, again all methods seem to work, but i found eroot to be the easiest, basically hook it up and press one button.:victory:

Hope i could help a few new HAM users out

Cheers :highfive:

If i root my HAM wil i lose my warranty
[Android General] Onecton:
Most of the time yes, but it really depends on which carrier you are (if you bought the phone with a contract) or where you bought it (which Store).

With eRoot you can if you rootet it with it, unroot your phone again.
[Android General] ataa_sy:
Thank u very much .. you put the juice in one cup .. :D

Much easier to find .. more threads to subscribe :p:p:p
[Android General] theoppositeman:
In the manual itself stated thst. But no worry as HAM was one of the phone that can be rooted easily in minutes and yes u can always revert back when needed. Just dint forget to backup.

[Android General] beaubin:
Thanks for the threat.

I'm about to root my HAM with Eroot, I have 3 questions before I do :

1. Any bizarre things happen after rooting with Eroot? Like FC? App missing? etc... (seen people having issues or not after rooting)

2. Would I be able to get OTA updates after rooting? What about a custon recovery? If I install CWM recovery, would I be able to apply OTA updates? If not, would unrooting the HAM allow me to OTA update my phone (then root again afterward)?

3. If something goes wrong while rooting, would I be able to install offcial B113 ROM from SD so I would go all fresh again like I first got the HAM out of the store?

Thanks for your advices.

Have a good one.

Cheers
[Android General] Onecton:
I didn't run into any funky issues. No FC's , no apps missing. Everything runs as it should.

In some cases we heard in the big Threat Here That you run into trouble witth OTA and root. So we all suggest that the rooting process should be initiated after you upgraded to the desired Firmwareversion.

As im aware there is currently no "real" meaning permanent CWM Recovery present. Only a sideload Recovery, some features didn't work properly, but I assume they manage that.

OTA Updates: I think it's the easiest to unroot it with eRoot and then root it again after the OTA

I didn't heard of something going terribly wrong with eroot, but yes you can of course flash the full B113 from standard Recovery you need no custom recovery for that :)

Hope i could help :highfive:
[Android General] beaubin:
Thanks Onecton for all the inputs, really helpful !

One last question though, I downloaded Eroot v1.2 from the OP, proceeded as indicated, installed HiSuite, PC drivers etc., tried few times to plug my phone when Eroot told me to, but eachtime failed by getting "creating process failed" message, looked like Eroot couldn't recognize my phone... Oh, I'm on latest official OTA B221 FW.

So I went searching over the internet, found there was a Eroot v1.3.3, really not sure if it's official, cos there was (only) v1.2 official app from eroot.me (holy moly ! eroot.me website is gone !!! it's a online sim unlock codes site now ! What happened?), so, with this v1.3.3, it recognized my phone within a second.

Before I clic on that root button, just wanted to check with you experts if the Eroot v1.3.3 is legitimate, or is it some sort of fake app out there.

Thanks again !

Have a nice day.

Cheers
[Android General] Onecton:
Glad i can help mate :highfive:

Dafuq? eroot.me is gone? Thanks for the heads up, i will change the link accordingly and reroute the link to my dropbox.

Sorry for that

with eroot 1.2 i wasnt able to root too if i recall correctly.... i fired up the 1.2 version it immediately wanted to upgrade, or something. So i let it pull it's update and it worked like a breeze then.

Regarding your version, i really don't know if it is fake or not sorry :confused: but what i can say is that i'm fixing the link and it should be up and running again in approx. 4 min.

eRoot link is fixed :highfive:

if you can wait till there, you have most definately the ledigt version :highfive:

also i'm by far no expert and i don't deserve to be called like that :o :victory:
[Android General] beaubin:
Thanks again Onecton for the quick reply.

I've downloaded v.1.2 form your original link way before the site is gone (it was yet there 2 days ago!), so no need to be sorry for that :)

I also fired up v.1.2 like you did, it started to update itself by downloading quite amount of data like you said, but when the update is done, it gave me that error message :( No such thing with v.1.3.3, it doesn't download anything and recognized my phone immediately... I saw there's even a v.1.3.4 out there!
[Android General] theoppositeman:
Hi onecton.

Do you hv the links for eroot v1.3.+?

Thanks. Wanted to try using it since i've already download the 4.2.2 b905 rom..

[Android General] Onecton:
Will edit and search it tonight. In approx. 4-5 hours I will provide an post update and reedit my Entry.

On a related topic. Is the 4.2.2 b905 the general or the Chinese ROM?
[Android General] theoppositeman:
Thanks fr responding. I did manage to download eroot v1.3.4 but havent test yet.

The b905 is chinese rom i guess based on the topic in the forum (german maybe) called hilfe...

Havent install yet but in our huawei mate forum someone did.

Thanks again.

T28@MT1-U06
[Android General] theoppositeman:
hi,

manage to download B905 android 4.2.2 rom (presently chinese firmware only). flashed it and seems stable.

i am able to root using EROOT v1.3.4 thanks to you onecton. totally easy and lightning fast rooting procedure.

i downloaded GAPPS (links provided by svvv) which are stable and suitable for the rom.

now everything seems fine and no issue for now.

just want to update.

EROOT v1.3.4 is a 'go' to use (maybe older version can be used too).

Gapps link by svvv is also good to go. and,

both links by dandybq and mixterz are also good to go.

thanks.
[Android General] Onecton:
you're very welcome mate ;)

will go and download everything, can't wait to run 4.2.2. on that badboy ^^

Rooted Huawei Mate

I just rooted my Huawei Ascend Mate, I got rid of some bloatwares on the phone such as Kingsoft Office and the language packs.

However, my internal memory size did not increase.

Just wondering,

1) did Huawei divide the 8gb internal memory into 2 parts, 4gb each? the ROM and usage internal memory (detected as SD2, my external SD detected as SD1)

2) How do I install into the Rom part?

this is a weird phone!
[Android General] Onecton:
My guess is that the 8 GB are indeed divided... But i wouldnt recommend trying to install something in that system reserved space. My guess is that the caches and the ram resides there.

But I am no expert on that stuff.

Maybe its better to post these specific questions over in the main thread .

But in some aspects this is indeed a weird phone :)
[Android General] theoppositeman:
Hi onecton.

Do you think we can use the Rom Cleaner which is also provided in universal use (i guess), to clean up bloatware during installation of rom?

:- about obsidian question, im too think that the ham 8gb is divided coz we have only around 5-6 gb of usage. Maybe the system files resides there. At least we still can use 64gb microcard as expandable memory.

Thanks.

[Android General] Onecton:
well this sounds tempting ^^ but i don't know.... maybe i read a bit more into it... since i really like the stock 4.2.2. experience... i found that huawei is really generous with its base system, you can just freeze some of the Emution stuff like the lockscreen, still i would like to prefer a bone stock 4.2.2. or 4.1.2. simply because i don't like that OEM overlay ..

can i install 4.2 or 4.3 on my mate ??

from where i can download this rom??
[Android General] Onecton:
Hi muhameed,

Please head over to our Main Thread -> Recieved my Huawei Ascend Mate

It's a bit fussy and crazyly unorganized since we don't have a sub Forum for the HAM but everything is there.

At the moment the B905 Firmware which is 4.2.2. is only a chinese released Firmware so no Gapps

B221, which is currently the general release rom has 4.1.2.

Link to B221 and howto flash -> Link which is also in the main thread .. just in case you are to lazy to dig around in no nearly 100 pages of thread ^^

Please refer to the main thread fo further questions :)
[Android General] muhameed:
thanl you !!!

but i alredy rootd my phone !!

it will be a problem or not
[Android General] Onecton:
since B221 or B905 are no updates but complete rom releases it doesn't matter ... since it overwrites everything.

just flash it over and root again afterwards with eroot :good:

Hey I am thinking about rooting my ham. I downloaded the eroot but it says file cannot be run. I skipped step 3 because I didn't know what it was so can anyone please explain? Much appreciated!
[Android General] theoppositeman:
Which version of eroot you downloaded.

For Android v4.2 above you will need to use the eroot v1.3.4.

Its compatible with windows 7/8.

If the file from this thread corrupted maybe you can download from thw P6 thread or google it. It should be in 11.1mb.

the rooting has worked but my navigation bar on my ham is now not functioning. :/ Do you know how to fix this? It is like the bottom strip of my screen acting like it is unaccessable. Is there a fix for this?
[Android General] theoppositeman:
I think you should download the B221 or B907 from hamdimos thread which both roms are official and root it again with eroot v1.3.4.

Rooting process doesnt supposed to disturb any the navigation bar but you know, anything might be possible.

Dont forget to clear cache and dalvik.

I suggest you use TWRP for this, because its the best recovery yet for HAM.

Hi everyone

First i'd like to say sorry for my english, because its not very good, but i hope we will understand each other :D

I installed my first custom ROM today, its a Jelly Blast from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33769086

I used an app called "SMS Backup & Restore" from google play to save my messages. This app saves msgs in a .xml format. After installing this ROM i restored all apps with "Titanium Backup", got into "SMS Backup.." and tried to restore my msgs. It was a long process, almost an hour of waiting (i have over 9000 messages), but everything seemed to be ok. After this i got into messaging and all i saw was "messaging not responding"...

I tried to download Go SMS, but the same thing happens.

I really need these messages, can i do something with it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SyncSoft-:
You can restore SMS through Titanium Backup, you don't need a separate app for it. I think you should go back to stock, use Titanium Backup to backup SMS, flash it again, download Titanium Backup,select the backup and then choose restore data only. That's how I did it with all the roms I have flashed , including Jelly Blast.

I have my Nexus 10 installed with Android v4.3 and i'm extremely disappointed with performance of it especially inside the pocket app. When I scroll over long articles, the performance stutters when it tries to repaint the screen. Even my galaxy tab 2 which has a significantly under-performing hardware has zero stutters. It's frustrating to see such a powerful tablet under-performing. Any ideas?

Surprised

Well, I'm a little agog,.... A good review of a Sony-made mobile phone from Phone Arena. Will wonders never cease?

Well, my handset has dropped by (review up shortly) and I have to say: pleasantly surprised by the camera - yes, the processing could be better in low light but the clarity in daylight, even on a dim and grey Yorkshire day, is actually pretty good. I'm thinking that has summat to do with the software update that I received within moments of booting it up.

ONE FLY IN THE OINTMENT,.... and it's big fella,.....

Sadly, much like GSM Arena, my camera lens appears to have an aberration - a fuzzy area to the left of centre where the focus is out. I don't have time to send it back for replacement before going way on a trip this week but it'll be heading back to O2 and onward to Sony as soon as I get back.

Dear Sony: Quality control,... you might want to look it up.
