Noobie instructions

I am sorry guys, I am new to this adb thing, is there any kind soul to post something a little more user friendly? I would appreciate a lot! And also would pray for your soul...:p
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
You should read the whole thread. You will find a lot of user-friendly descriptions like this one (how to install USB-Drivers with Windows 8): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48307550&postcount=10

or this one (how to install and use adb): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48619947&postcount=55

Of course you also need some basic knowledge about windows (e.g. how to open a Windows Command Prompt / Shell cmd.exe or how to create and edit Windows-Files with certain file-extensions or how to make Windows show the file-extensions). If you don't have this basic knowledge about Windows you should get this first before rooting a device. Some basic knowledge about Unix / Linux commands is also helpful because android basically is a linux system.
[General Questions and Answers] ou2mame:
Before you're sorry, read the thread lol
[General Questions and Answers] Bluze:
Which part don't you understand? The "ADB thing" is sort of like a putty session to a *nix machine. Once you type adb shell you are in a command shell for your device. If you managed to get that far, the rest should be just following step-by-step the instructions on this thread.

If you can't get the device to be recognized by ADB, I can't really help you much as I had some issues and had to play around before it would work. I don't think it's in the first post, but read on from there and there is a post explaining how to make your windows user profile find the device.

As fipsy said though, if you don't know the basics, you probably shouldn't be trying to root your device yet. MY advice would be go find a cheap used device to learn on. That way you aren't out much if you break(or brick) it. LOL! I don't take my own advice too well. First thing I rooted was a brand new I9300 about an hour after I opened the box. :D
[General Questions and Answers] JimboJoe:
Someone on this thread reported to have rooted successfully with cydia impactor. Maybe that's the way to go for you...
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
You're right. But always keep in mind that there are nearly no experiences using this method. It's unknown if there are any "side-effects" using automated systems on this device.

I think the next thing to do will be creating an update.zip for the CWM Recovery so that it can easily be flashed and enables full backups before doing any intrusions to the system.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

But this could be a good occasion to become acquainted with Linux! Before doing the tough things you could play around a bit with the shell: Simply install a Terminal Emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en. Using it you will be able to access your system (without superuser rights - so you can't damage anything). But this is enough to play around and learn some basic things. It's a nice job for boring and cold winter evenings. :) And there are really a lot of very good introductions to this (http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php). If you go through one of these introductory workshops please notice that many commands described there are not directly available on android. Android has a kind of "software package" called "busybox" which contains most needed linux commands. So if you just type "less" or "cp" you will not be successful on android. But typing "busybox less" and "busybox cp" will work!
[General Questions and Answers] peterc18042:
Automated worked flawlessly for me

I had no "side-effects" after using "Cydia Impactor", but I am totally in agreement with you that someone should know the basics of using "ADB Shell" and using "Linux" commands. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] djport1973:
updated taking cwm. I miss the ota and was suffering
[General Questions and Answers] JimboJoe:
I'm not sure I understand what you wrote. Did you finally receive the 4.2 OTA?!
[General Questions and Answers] djport1973:
sorry my English is not good. Yes. I get the 4.2.2 ota
[General Questions and Answers] JimboJoe:
OK, that is great news!

Could you possibly look into your /cache partition to see if the OTA file is still available there for sharing?

Had you rooted the device before the OTA and did you keep the root?

To see if cydia Impactor could be used on this version to root, could you please see if the used vulnerabilities are still there with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.backessrt.appintegrity

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
Root will surely not be kept, because any update restores the whole system partition including all files in /system/xbin.

We will see if su with adb shell will work on 4.2.2 as well... So it maybe no problem to root again...
[General Questions and Answers] JimboJoe:
It may be worth trying to use OTA Rootkeeper...
[General Questions and Answers] manni1986:
hi i have install the 3.1.1 su binary and the app from playstore but i have still no root access
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
Didn't know that something like this exists. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] JimboJoe:
I'll eventually manage to be helpful! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
How did you install the su binary? And which Superuser App did you install? You are using Android 4.1.1?
[General Questions and Answers] manni1986:
I installed it like the tutorial on page one. it was the latest superuser app from playstore

i have android 4.2.2
[General Questions and Answers] JimboJoe:
Oops, you seem to be the very first one to try this procedure on Android 4.2... Maybe it doesn't work any more?

During your adb shell session, was the command "su" succesful (prompt with a #)?

To see if cydia impactor could be an alternative, could you try to run this app to see if there are vulnerabilities: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.backessrt.appintegrity
[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
Hi, first post.

I rooted my Hannspad as per first post and today I upgraded OTA to V4.2.2 and still have Superuser privileges.

So as afar as I can see the pad is still rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
But this is really strange!

Especially because Sparkrite says that the 3.1.1 su binary was working on his device after an update to Android 4.2.2!

If you can gain superuser access within adb shell and terminal emulator using the (new) su binary 3.1.1 I don't understand why this isn't possible using the superuser app! Seems not logical to me. Did you install this superuser app? -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su&hl=en

It is nice that cydia impactor works. But I also really would like to understand why the manual procedure didn't work.

Did you also install the CWM recovery? Would be interesting if this also works...
[General Questions and Answers] manni1986:
yes i installed thia app, and it whows me that binary 3.1.1 was installed but no app get roo access and also root checker says, nr root. i tried to install cwm mod but it also doesent work.

i trie to install it now with the root access ocer cydiaimpactor
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
Very nice! Do you also have experiences with the CWM recovery on 4.2.2?

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

If CWM doesn't work on 4.2.2 we really have a big problem. :( For me CWM is the most important thing on the device. If it doesn't work the only explanation is that they changed the whole partition layout. I cannot upgrade to 4.2.2 so I'm not able to investigate on a new CWM at the moment. I suppose the european 4.2.2 version will be released much later.
[General Questions and Answers] Sparkrite:
I notice that my backup of my original SU file (named su-orig) in now gone, but the device is still rooted as Elixer, Titanium Backup and Root and Rmsoft File Manager still give me root access after they all requested and have been granted Super user access post update to 4.2.2.

---------- Post added at 05:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

How do you mean "The European Version" I am in Ireland and I updated OTA.
[General Questions and Answers] fipsy:
Very interesting! The only explanation is that they have overwritten your old 3.1.1 binary with their own, new superuser binary that seems to be working with the superuser app. Do you know what size your actual su binary has (ls -l /system/xbin/su)?

Okay, I didn't know that. So the upgrade may be carried out bit by bit. Here in germany it's not available and also not in france if I understood aright what JimboJoe said. I think the rollout depends on the languages that have to be supported. As far as I can see only english and spanish are supported up to now (seems to be the american version). ;)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud628:
So I'm trying to install a 4.4 GPE Rom on my HTC One but I need S-Off to do so. Ive been trying to follow a tutorial on using RumRunner to get s-off. It goes through its stuff but at the very end I get this message. I am running TWRP 2.6.3.3 and am Fully rooted. Im wondering if it is because I am currently on android 4.4 with sense 5.5? I tried flashing OMNI rom and Carbon rom but both fail when trying to flash via TWRP. I get an error message in Red.

hmm, cap is on tighter than I expected……..

hell, that damn cap is on REALLY tight…….

unfortunately this isn’t going to work out with your configuration. you have 2

options:

1.) flash an unsecure kernel that’s compatible with your ROM and retry rumrunner

(preferred and most reliable method).

2.) flash a different rom.

NOTE: No amount of messing around with su binaries and apk’s is going to fix thi

s issue for you!!!.

Better luck next time!!!!bye

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ag0w:
I got a wi-fi card that works on WM5 and cant get it to work in an MDA Compact II.

I have tried it in an xda2 with wm5 and from what I can accertain is if you cold re-boot the wi-fi works, then as soon as you loose wi-fi you have to soft-boot again .... which isn't that unexpected from what I've read about wm5 and wi-fi and I can kind of live with that

However, I can't get it to work on the Charmer - what I think is happening is the SDIO is sooooo slooooow at initialising that the wi-fi drivers run before the SDIO is initialised.

Now I'm totally lost --- is there a way around this ... can I delay the driver running? can I start and stop drivers in wm5 ????
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ag0w:
There appears to be no SDIO drivers on the MDA Compact II

When playing music downloaded from Subsonic through the Google Play Music app, the seekbar does not work and I'm not able to seek (fast forward or rewind) the song playing. The counter also just displays --:-- and does not work.

In my testing, I've noticed that simply moving a song to another folder then back fixes this for that album. So if you have an album with 10 songs, and you move just 1 to another folder like /Music then back, the entire album start to work correctly in Play Music. I've checked the permissions in Solid Explorer and they don't seem to be the culprit.
