[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
I rooted me One SV when it was 4.1.2, Sense4+ I had CWM 6.0.3.2 on it. Then my device said an OTA is available for my device. So I *RELOCKED* the bootloader and applied the OTA by following instructions from here, which went perfectly fine!:)

Then I went and unlocked the bootloader again, using the HTCDev site, then went fine too.

Now after rebooting, I seem to have lost the root. So in the link above I went ahead to do Step 4, I got the lastest TWRP for and flashed it with fastboot, flashing went fine.:good:

Now went I go to HBOOT Menu and select 'Recovery', all I get is the HTC Splash screen and 'Entering Recovery...' written on top. :(

I don't know if it actually flashed any recovery or not, as far as fastboot command was concerned it didn't return with any error!

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
It seems, you have k2u which has a new hboot with the OTA update.

You need a new recovery for that, which you can find here.
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
Thanks for reply. But, I've got K2_UL instead, any clue for that one?

My bad! :P I found the one

that does the trick for me! Back to the rooted state now :D Thanks a ton!
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
Btw, how can I remove bloatware from the new OTA? NoBloat Free app can't recognise that device is rooted, so can't remove anything really. (Hope this doesn't require me to open a new thread;))

Also before 4.2.2 update I had real trouble permanently removing the system apps like 'Best Deals' etc. NoBloat Free removed them but they always came back as soon as I rebooted the device :rolleyes:

Any other bloatware removal app that you know that can do the trick for me? Thanks in anticipation!
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Kernel has system write protection, which means you either need a custom kernel with write protection removed (which actually don't exist) or you must be S-off.
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
So I must be S-OFF to be able to persist whatever I change between the reboots. Also another thing I noticed which is VERY annoying, after a while I loose the root 'state'!!!! :mad: Any reason why is that? Am I missing something?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Don't know about your root problem. But S-off is not wrong in my opinion.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
If you are losing root then it sounds like it is temporary vice permanent... Interesting lol.
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
If your installing superSU as a system app, then every reboot the secure kernel is gonna kick it out......meaning lose root

Just keep superSU as a user app you'll be fine on reboots(with keeping root that is)

!#quote my post if you want to get my attention more quickly
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
I've got Superuser (from ClockWorkMod) installed as a system app and its not that it doesn't ever get root access. It DOES get the root access once booted up. The access stays for a while, and then after a while when try to do something that requires root, it fails! :(

What I did, after reading your post, was uninstalled the Superuser app using Titanium Backup. And without rebooting, installed it again from the market. And after reboot is comes back as system app! Grrrr....:mad: Please help!!!

My problem is almost like this the one described here.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
I can write up a flashable zip that will remove the system superuser app and install it again straight to your user app location if you want. It will resolve the issue for you. Let me know. Won't take me long at all. I already have one done up. I would just have to make some slight changes in the updater-script. :)

Edit: I'm just gonna do it anyways, and I will come back with the link for you to download it. If you don't need it later then maybe someone else will down the road.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

Here it is

Just download, place on either root of internal or external sdcard and flash, then reboot device.

SUPERSU 1.75 AND BUSYBOX 1.21.1 FLASHABLE ZIP

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

That will install su as a user app. :) it will also install and symlink Busybox and the su binary. When you open up SuperSU it won't ask for you to install the su binary. This is because I have taken care of that in the script. If you update through Google play then you will be given that request :).
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
it'd be in your best interest to flash an unsecure kernel, being S-ON is gonna annoy you on every reboot if you use stock secure kernel.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
I agree with [MENTION=5089229]russellvone[/MENTION] lol. Go S-Off though and it shouldn't be an issue anymore ;)
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
Firstly, thanks a lot that you promptly dished out the fix! :) I had SuperSU before Superuser but I wanted the one that could allow PIN protection thus Superuser. As in my previous post I tried to uninstalled it as a system app using Titanium Backup, and it was unsuccessful as the app is listed as system app under 'system/app/'. Though this, it seems to have fixed the problem of loosing

root access. And thus I haven't applied your fixed yet (still, thank you for making the fix!).

However, I'd like to apply that fix of yours, but with Superuser app, and not SuperSU. Please let me know if I could (and how to) change your fix without bothering you to do it yourself, that way learning a bit myself on doing these things :p
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
Ok, thanks. Though, will it change anything in regards of the recovery or 4.2.2 & Sense 5 update? Where can I get one for K2_UL (T-Mobile UK)? Thanks again.:good:
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
hasn't been released yet, sometimes I forget who I'm speaking with, my apologies.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
I could do that, but it would be easier for you to flash the zip I did and then go in to the superSU app >> settings >> switch superuser app.

That will basically clean your device of SuperSU so you can go on the Google play store and install a different superuser app of your choosing.
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
Cheers, I just did that. Switched the app to Superuser that I was using before. After flashing your zip I checked that Superuser is no longer a system app, which is partly what I wanted to do and thus achieved, so thank you. Though, I'd like to make a note that Superuser app asks for updating the su binary, as usual. I thought that was been taken care-of by your zip, or was it just for SuperSU? However, it remains to be seen if I loose the root again, between reboots.

Thanks again a lot. :)
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
It was just for SuperSu.

Glad to help.
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
I'm STILL loosing my root access after a while! :( I'm going for S-Off but I can't seem to find and S-Off for JB 4.2.2 update, also ROM version 3.11* is not listed on Moonshine. :( Do you know of any? Thanks in advance.
[HTC One SV] :
I'm curious as to how you are losing root access???

I was S-On when I rooted. I didn't S-Off until much later after that. Scratching my head..........

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

What exactly is happening which lets you know for a fact that you have lost root?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
rumrunner.us

Works like a charm :)
[HTC One SV] :
I still want to know the cause, because this is something unusual for our device....
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
You are right, at that point.

I for myself decided some time ago, not to find all the times the reason, why.

I decided, to find a solution. Because there are so much things i still don't know and i can not see from my place, so sometimes this could be a task for eternity.
[HTC One SV] :
I agree with that %100 lol. Though for me, I have a hunger for learning stuff.

:D
[HTC One SV] :
[MENTION=5089229]russellvone[/MENTION]

Just playing around ;)

This is what allows you to edit the default.prop file and other files as well (problem getting the default.prop file to stick after reboot). I also took a copy of the default.prop file and placed it by the build.prop and edited it then set its permissions.

However, I'm still playing around with this.
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
lol, good going, XDA is gonna make a dev out of you!

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

have you tried with stock boot.img and s-on?
[HTC One SV] :
I'm on stock boot.img right now, but not S-On.
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
None of the root apps work e.g. Greenify, ROM Manager, Nandriod Manager etc. They all return 'Root access cannot be obtained' or something similar in error. Thus I know that root access is gone. And the weirdest of all, the root access stays for a while after a reboot!
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
You guys have encouraged me to learn the reason for such abnormal behaviour! I'm going to wait, atleast for a reasonable time, before I go for rumrunner. Though, there ain't any download for HTC One SV. Which one shall I go for, when I decide to go for S-Off later on? Thanks.
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
use the universal version
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
Did it! And that has resolved the problem of loosing root after a while. Thanks to you all :)
[HTC One SV] :
Hey, so I found out why the zip I gave you didn't hold root on your device. Stupid error on my part lol. I took the previous one I had made which was for installing it on your /system rather than /data. Well, when I modified it for /data given your request I accidentally had the su binary set to install in the /system/bin AND /system/xbin WHEN it was only suppose to go to /system/xbin and then be SYMLINKED over to /system/bin. I'm fixing it now so this doesn't happen again to anyone else. But on a good note, I knew something wasn't right when you kept losing root because it were suppose to stick. Glad I decided to take a look at that zip I had set up for you earlier. :)
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
Aha...apologies for delay reply! It's all sorted for now after S-OFF. But I do appreciate your efforts in investigating the odd behaviour. I'm sure it will come to help for someone :)
[HTC One SV] :
Yea, about a three month delay hahahahaha!
[HTC One SV] KunalAPatel:
That's horrible right! :silly: Though, any chance of 4.4 and/or Touch 6 on our device?
[HTC One SV] :
Not looking promising right now. Everything is just hearsay so hope a little, but don't have high expectations lol.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gracielatf:
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 (7.4.6) rooted and I want to know if there's a way that I can install the TWRP Recovery without flashing any rom at the moment and most important without bricking it. I want to have it installed in case that in a future I want to flash a rom. I think it's a must have tool on this device but I'm not quite sure if it's possible and I don't want to try how-to's that I've read in these forums because it's not what I'm looking for and I don't want to mess up the KF :eek:. Any help or advice on this will be very appreciated. :angel:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
There is a way but you have to do 1 of 2 things outside of what the standard tutorial says. The newer is checks the boot loader for its version to see if it matches with the is version, if it mismatches it will cause a boot loop. So if you tried the default instructions, you would boot loop since you are on a 7.4.6 os, so you have 2 choices, downgrade the is first to the same as the freedom boot image in the tutorial, or download the latest kinology ROM which has a 7.4.6 freedom boot image inside it that for some reason isn't posted by itself last I check. If you download the kinology ROM you don't have to flash it to install that freedom boot image you can just extract it from the ROM and use it in place of the freedom boot the tutorial tells you to use. Take note of one last thing, make sure to check the box in fire flash at the top with red warning text under it about downgrading the boot loader or you will get stuck with a red screen and that requires a fastboot cable to fix. Anyways here's the tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

I suggest reading through it in its entirety to familiarize yourself. You also have a option for the lazier person, you can simply download the kinology ROM onto the device before flashing 2nd boot loader + twrp (because it will bootloop as I previously mentioned) and first make a backup of data and system, then flash the kinology ROM, then restore your backup you just made. In theory I think that will work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gracielatf:
Thanks for the response, I'm trying that... but before I do this... I want to make sure I'm on the right track. I copied three files on the main kindle directory (fireflash11.apk, kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img and kfhd7-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img). I've installed the Fire Flash and now... I'm seeing the interface to flash the boot partition and recovery partition, and the bootloader says the warning thing that the bootloader is not kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin. That last part is where I'm stuck in... I don't know if checking the box will mess up my kindle... so far, I know that I had to check the "apply stack override", "disable recovery auto update", then unplug cable and hit flash. I'm not sure if I'm still needing the kinology rom since I've downloaded the freedom boot from hashcode. :eek:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x10knight:
Wait, so if you were to install 7.4.6 freedomboot, it would bootloop? Why?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Because they were running 7.4.6 so the 7.4.6 bootloader is a match. The problem is that the exploit was patched at 7.3.0 so one really should downgrade to 7.2.3 first because sometimes clicking flash 7.2.3 bootloader while using FireFlash app does not work and you get a bootloop anyway. It's best to drag and drop a ROM onto the internal sd card before flashing. If you do bootloop, just go into TWRP and flash the ROM.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jserrano56:
I'm new and a complete noob to this, I'm running 7.4.6, can someone please explain freedom boot and if it would be possible for me to get a custom Rom loaded on my tablet without downgrading to 7.2.3?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Freedom boot if I understand correctly is a patch to the kernel used for second bootloader, I believe it also has version data stored in it that the kindle is checks on boot, if the kernel doesn't match the kindle os version it boot loops into recovery. So yes you can do all without downgrading the os, its just suggested you do because amazon patched the boot loader a while back and downgrading ensures you don't boot loop in case you have an older freedom boot image or you are on 7.4.7. Its probably also flashes the old boot loader too which helps. Never used kffa so not positive about that though.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jserrano56:
So how do you suggest I go about flashing my custom Rom, I don't want to downgrade and I want to use fireflash preferable?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I prefer the fire flash method but if you or the program mess up and don't flash the boot loader with the older version first, you will need a fastboot cable to fix it. I haven't ever had a problem with fire flash myself, as long as you check the first box with a bunch of red warning text under it you should be OK.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jserrano56:
Thanks figured it out on my own before your post but it's the thought that counts lol your post will help others tho, I was a complete noob it was actually easier than what I thought, I'm running CM11 right now
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gracielatf:
So... what I should do... run the fire flash app checking that box about the warning of boot loader... and put the files in place and check the "apply stack override" and that's it? I'm getting confused because the post went out of topic...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
First, drag and drop what ever ROM you are going to use onto the root of the internal SD card (CM, Paranoid Android, which ever one). This is important. If you do loop, access TWRP and flash the ROM.

Make sure to put the images in the right place, tick "apply stack override" and also tick "disable recovery auto update" and also chaeck "7.2.3 bootloader."

Here is the original tutorial as well for your reference. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

Edit: when you do go to flash the ROM from TWRP you first "swipe" then flash the ROM and then wipe only Dalvic and CACHE.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gracielatf:
Got it, wish me luck! :cyclops:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Good luck!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gracielatf:
Well... that was fast. I didn't need the Kinology ROM, but I downloaded and dragged it to the Kindle, just in case it boot loop and so have the rom as backup. Just needed the three fiiles. I'll place the instructions clearly just in case anyone wants to do this and worked perfectly for me.

Download:

fireflash11.apk,

kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img and

kfhd7-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img.

Copy or Drag & Drop the three files to Kindle Fire HD 7". Make sure to have ON the "allow installations of applications" options found in drop down window (More+ -> Device). Then install the fireflash11.apk, after installation, open the app, if you got the warning message, check the box on the right, then place the kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img in the "boot partition" section and tick "apply stack override", then the kfhd7-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img in the "recovery partition" section and tick "disable recovery auto update". Unplug your KFHD7 from the USB, then hit Flash, and that's it! :victory:

No ROM needed, but in case you want like to go in "safe mode" like I did, download the Kinology ROM found here.

Hey guys, I checked my GPRS mobile usage on my o2 online bill and found out that my 5MB has been all used up and that i have run up a bill of an extra £3.47. Am i the only one that has started being charged for it or is the end of the "deal"?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ineedtoys:
"Free" GPRS was an introductory offer on Business Data Sense tariffs only (i.e. joint Voice/Data)- NOT Data5. It finished on Jan 31:-

Business Data Sense

O2 Business Data Sense is the standard data tariff available with O2 business voice tariffs for 2+ connections. Business Data Sense allows you to use our Mobile Web and Mobile Web VPN services and our DataLink solutions. O2 Active WAP browsing is free with Business Data Sense. Business Data Sense is currently free of charge until 31st January 2006. Use of Business Data Sense during the promotional period is subject to a fair use policy of 36 MB of data per month. If a customer exceeds 36 MB in a given month, we may ask the customer to reduce their usage of the service. If usage continues to exceed 36 MB per month, O2 may be required to move the user to another O2 data tariff. When charging commences on 1st February 2006, the first ½ Megabyte (MB) of Mobile Web / Data Bearer access is free each month, then after that access is priced at £1.80 per Mb.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] trapper:
To be fair it is actually swings and roundabouts and it is totally dependant upon your billing platform.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ineedtoys:
