Root de la Vega

By [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] & [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]

Ported To the Verizon S4 By:@BeansTown106

First off, Huge Thanks to [MENTION=2348906]designgears[/MENTION] for the root method & [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for his SuperSU App

Also Big Thanks To [MENTION=3313404]open1your1eyes0[/MENTION] for beta testing it for me on the Verizon S4 MI1 Update

Warning: I cannot be held responsible for anything you do to your phone, rooting is optional! But the KNOX counter added in the MI1 Bootloader will not be affected and will still show 0x0.

How To Enter Download Mode

Method 1: in command prompt or terminal enter: adb reboot download

Method 2: Pull the battery out, unplug the usb cable, reinsert the battery. Hold Volume Down + Home + Power. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Rooting Instructions

Remove the external sdcard (if you have one)

Boot into bootloader mode (see methods above)

Flash VRUDMI1_Root_de_la_vega_jfltevzw.tar.md5 with Odin v3.07 (put in PDA slot, don't change any other settings, click start)

Let your device fully boot after flashing has completed

Copy the contents of Rootfiles.zip to the root of the internal storage

/My Computer/SCH-I545/Phone/

root_de_la_vega.sh

root_files (folder)

Reboot (very important!)

After fully booting delete the files from the internal storage that were added previously

/My Computer/[Phone Name]/Phone/

root_de_la_vega.sh

root_files (folder)

Reboot (extremely important!)

Reinsert the external sdcard (if you have one)

That's all! Enjoy Root!

Excellent method with huge thanks to all of the above (especially designgears for discovering this truly ingenious ODIN trick).

Confirmed tested and working 100% on a full VRUDMI1 build (new bootloaders/radios and all). :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ebsk8er06:
This is like the note 3s root method right?

hyperdrive powered s4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] F14Scott:
So, before I try the above root method (thanks!), I thought I'd try the Voodoo method others have mentioned is working.

I'm Verizon SGS4, stock rooted ME7 with no other mods. When I use Voodoo, I have "saved" root, show all four checkboxes checked, and, just prior to running the OTA OS update, I select "Temp. un-root (keeps backup)". Then, when I run the OS update, the update fails.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ebsk8er06:
The new bootloader has more checks then me7, and it hasn't been cracked so I don't think cwm or twrp will be coming netime soon unless safestarp works with this version to but in doing so there would be a lot of confusion on what people should flash and not flash and a whole lot of bricked phones

Just want to be sure this is correct...it's quite a bit larger than files I'm used to seeing for root.

Thank you!

THANKS!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] myn:
Proof? I am not seeing that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
This is not true. ME7 was already as locked down as possible, MI1 build just continues the same that ME7 started. In fact MI1 you can consider less checking since this time you can actually downgrade certain partitions back to ME7 (not working entirely of course but it's allowed at least this time around).

Try this one: Anker® 1900mAh Li-ion Battery For HTC Sensation. I'm using it and it's ~20% better than stock Sensation battery :)

Also try underclocking your phone and using some AOSP based stable ROM.

Hi XDA,

I just updated my HTC sensation XE phone to cyanogenmod 10.2 and actually I didn't like it, because its not stable like the original ROM and missed a lot of things that I need it like beats audio and stuff like that, anyway, how can I get the original ROM for my HTC Sensation XE since all the links for that ROM are deleted or not found.

When I get into my phone bootloader I have this parameters:

***UNLOCKED***

[General Questions and Answers] joecap5:
My nexus 7 (2013) just did the stuck on X during start up thing. I have a bunch of photos from my vacation on it that I would like not to lose.

I've been reading up on adb and so far have installed the SDK and toolkit. My PC recognizes that my nexus is attached when I put it into adb sideload mode.

But I'm too new to know where to go from there. There is a lot out there about using the sideloader to do various things but haven't found anything that would help me so far.

Can I somehow use an adb backup command if install a zip file with the proper commands?

Is there a way to reinstall the OS via adb sideload to get the nexus running again without wiping the internal storage?

There have been some methods mentioned that involve have USB debugging enabled or the bootloader unlocked.

But I don't have USB debugging enabled and my bootloader is locked. I couldn't find a way to enable USB debugging without the nexus being able to start up. It looks like unlocking the bootloader requires a factory reset.
[General Questions and Answers] devdr:
You can try to use adb to get your pictures. It's located in %sdk_folder%/platform-tools.

Simply use this command to get your files

adb pull /sdcard/Pictures /destination_folder

You can also push files to your sdcard while using the push command. I would try this to push a backup to the sdcard.

Are you able to get in recovery mode (CWM etc.)?
[General Questions and Answers] joecap5:
lective renzak

Most adb commands gives me "error:closed"

adb devices gives <serial number> sideload

I can upload a zip file via sideload. I just uploaded a zip file with an empty text document. It gave me an error that the update package failed which was expected.

I know nothing about update packages.

Is there one I could install that would get the nexus working without wiping out my pictures?
[General Questions and Answers] joecap5:
I was able to install an OTA update over the adb sideloader. So at least something is working.

I was hoping that installing the update would fix things but the nexus still gets stuck on X when starting up.

I'm wondering if I can insert something into the update installer script to do a backup or pull....

There is an install-recovery.sh script that I could potentially edit and then back up.

I there a command I could put into it that would do something equivalent to an adb pull or backup?
[General Questions and Answers] joecap5:
If anyone could give me a place to start, I'd really appreciate it.
[General Questions and Answers] funkyblue04:
I am in the same situation as you :( I have found nothing and only your posts on other forums!
[General Questions and Answers] joecap5:
If you have the stock configuration with usb debugging off and the bootloader locked, you're stuck. At least I couldn't figure out anything after many hours and weeks of asking. Had to bite the bullet and do a wipe. I rooted it when I did the wipe so I could try various recovery tools.

I tried dr fone and hexamob recovery and some other ones but no luck.

The nexus toolkit helped me out a bunch to try out adb commands and install a rooted system.

Sorry I don't have better news.

For backup services, I think shutterfly gives you unlimited photo only backups. For others you can do a combination of google drive, dropbox, amazon, etc. Amazon has some special thing for music I believe.
[General Questions and Answers] sunnyaa:
do u have the link for OTA zip file

AM struck at the same point with my Samsung note 3 . i need the link for ota update so that i can update my OS using ADB sideload . i tried downloading a zip file from sammobile but its gives me an error

E: footer is wrong

E: signature verification failed

i don't know what else i can do .

i tried DR fone i shows my pictures but never completes the backup process and shuts down.

plz help guys
[General Questions and Answers] joecap5:
What's your problem with the note 3? Solution likely different than my nexus issue. The Samsung phones do have a power button issue. Either doesn't work or gets stuck in the pressed position so when you try to start it continues to restart. If that's the case try fiddling around with power button. I find it helpful to pull the phone apart so I can get at the actual button.
[General Questions and Answers] sunnyaa:
i checked the power button is fine because it say up in recovery mode but keeps restarting in safe mode or normal mode. i need to either backup my data on the device using the recovery mode or update my device so that i can fix the corrupted OS. but when i try to do a OTA update using adb sideload and a zip file that i downloaded from sammobile it gives me this error :

E: footer is wrong

E: signature verification failed

. or just help me to backup my pictures using the recovery so that i can just do a factory reset any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Haha, got the same problems. But I do have USB Debugging on - does not help anything. Crazy, if you consider that files are there but you have to delete them in order to correct the stubbornness of the OEMs....

My Htc One randomly started experiencing issues with the battery. It will die from a full charge in about 5 hours with only 20 minutes screen time. The weirdest part is I will charge it to 100% unplug it and it will instantly drop to 95%. If I plug it back in it drops another 5%. Is my battery shot? Or is the system not reading it properly. Is there a fix?

Hello,

I am selling an iPhone for profit and have a question. If this topic against the rules please remove.

Question is:

I ordered the 5s through apple.com, as a contract upgrade to my AT&T account. It came in the mail after about 3 weeks wait. I then applied an iPhone unlock service I found online.

Can this phone be activated by another person (the potential buyer) right away? Or is the phone somehow tied to my account, and I have to activate it first before it can be activated on another person's account?

I want to avoid having to open the seal and activating it first, since it lowers the value somewhat when the seal is broken. And I'd also like to avoid extra hassle for both parties if the phone has activation issues which can be prevented. Any insight is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 123650o:
Hi everyone, this is my proposal for a call volume fix.

I'm not too experienced in developing, but I'm just trying to help.

I believe that the phone's noise cancelling application is not working well with the AOSP drivers, so I believe that using the stock phone application AND DRIVERS would fix it. Would it be possible to simply copy the stock phone.apk from the stock rom into those roms that don't work? True, you would have to go back to the old version of sense for at least the phone app, but would that fix the call volume problem?

However, I understand that perhaps the application may not be compatible with the AOSP rom and would likely require lots of work to make it compatible, but importing the proper drivers could likely be the solution to this age old problem.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
According h8rift and homeslice... Its the a1026 audience chip that has caused the problems... And... Unless albinoman... Now that he has the device... Can figure it out... It will be that way forever...

The fix...

Use the stock ROM...

Sorry
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
No. you would have to add the htc framework making is senseless rom not AOSP .

It has nothing to do with the phone apk. Drivers are in the kernel.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 123650o:
Could you replace the messed up drivers then?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
You're welcome to try. A bunch of us have beat our heads over it pretty well already though. sun_dream says he has a fix fof sense ROMs - the attachment in this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2285611) thread. tbh I haven't looked at it and he made it pretty clear (as he always does), that he wouldn't share the solution.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 123650o:
Hi Homeslice, I love all your work on the Vivid.

I meant to suggest that this could be a possible fix for non-sense roms. I think that the Sense roms mostly have it together up until Jelly Bean.

I probably won't be able to try it until next month. I'm applying to college soon and need to finish my MIT application before November 1st.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] asdofindia:
Problem

In the last two days I've tried CM 10.2 weekly, Mokee OS, VanirAOSP, and MIUI v5, all with ONE common problem. The touch screen goes unresponsive after the phone automatically goes to sleep (although the hardware buttons work, and wakes the device up, you can't unlock or touch anything). Swipe to wake doesn't work in bringing the touch back, and disabling it didn't help either.

Finally, I think I have a solution. This worked in MIUI v5 (in which I faced the same trouble)

My guess is that it is related to the proximity sensor auto lock feature.

Solution

When the screen goes unresponsive keep your hand over the whole screen as if you've put the phone in your pocket, for about 5 seconds. Make sure you're covering the proximity sensor. And now, try swipe to wake or power button or whatever.

This works like charm, and you can in fact use it to trick your friends where they fail to unlock your phone and you do focus pocus magic on it! :D

Note

This is annoying when someone calls you and you can't pick up because the screen isn't responsive. For that, (at least in MIUI v5) enable the volume up hardware key to answer the call, and power button to end the call. (In Settings -> Control Panel -> Calls, in MIUI v5)

Edit: If this didn't work directly from sleep, press some hardware key to make the screen light up and then press the phone to your chest :p
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsianFoodRules:
Hi there

I seem to have a problem flashing 4.3 roms, actually any rom that isn't stock in general.

Right now I am running syzmel's 20E with 1.3ghz overclock version 3.09.

Back to the problem: this is the steps I take to upgrade to any rom: 1. Download (slimbean, vanir asop) 2. flash v20D (unmodded) 3. Root it using Framaroot 4. Install CWM using L7CWM.zip (extracted, then clicked on flash bootloader, flash recovery, and then booted into recovery) 5. Boot into CWM 6. Click on factory reset and reset 7. Go into mounts and storage and format /system 8. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. 9. Flash either 4.3 version slimbean or Vanir ASOP (tell me which is better) 9. Flash gapps (Slimbean: Slim AIO minimal Gapps, Vanir: 4.3 minimal Gapps which is found in the Vanir ASOP page) 10. Factory reset again 11. Wipe dalvik 12. Reboot

Now as soon as I reboot, either it stays rebooting, or boots once and when you reboot it stays at the boot loading page (slimbean logo, or android logo) (In other words, once you go black, you never go back. Not being racist, just saying once it blacks out it doesn't work no more). So i retry. And then I give up and stick on v20E.

So please suggestions?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] z_rudy:
He was asking for conversion to WAV not WMA. WMA and MP3 are smaller than uncompressed wave, why would you want wav? Unless you actually meant WMA.

As for a button lock, I'd suggest you use ScreenOff or Spb Pocket Plus's screen toggle to turn off the screen, which in turn locks the device but keeps it on.
