[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneXdude:
Hello,

I just updated my Nexus 7 2012 3G from 4.2 (unlocked, rooted) to 4.3 manually (fastboot), then 4.4.2 via OTA.

Now I'm trying to root my device again, by flashing SuperSU-v1.80 through CWM interface (recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.9-grouper).

Problem is, even though the SuperSu app appears after flashing it, I get the message

no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it

Updating it changes nothing.

I tried to flash again the same file, and now the app simply disappeared. Installing the Play Store app does nothing either. I'm stuck here.

Any idea ?

For reference, after I tried to flash a first time (and it didn't work) I noticed that an incorrect storage size was recognized. So I did a factory reset, got the correct storage size, then tried to flash SuperSu again to gain root, to no avail. So I tried more than twice, with a factory reset inbetween.

Solution

I was just using outdated tools : my version of CWM and SuperSU were both too old to work on 4.4.2

Always get the latest of those two on their respective websites.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, OneXdude...

Due to security changes in KitKat, Chainfire had to re-work the way root worked, so it's probable your rather old SuperSU-v1.80 (which worked with Jellybean) is the cause of the problem...

Try the latest version, SuperSU-v1.93...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneXdude:
Thanks for the quick reply, GedBlake.

Though it still doesn't work.

Here is what I did :

- Boot into CWM

- Factory Reset

- adb sideload of SuperSU-v1.93

- reboot

- initial setup

- tap on superSU app : "no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, OneXdude...

Try it this way...

** Download SuperSU-v1.93 direct to your Nexus 7 using Chrome or other Android browser.

** Boot into CWM.

** In CWM, select the 'Install Zip' option, followed by 'Choose zip from /sdcard'...

**...and then navigate to the folder where the SuperSU .zip just downloaded to... usually the '/download' folder.

** Flash the SuperSU-v1.93 zip.

** Reboot... and you should be rooted:)

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneXdude:
I followed this exact procedure, but sadly the problem remains.

I still get the error message.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
This is very puzzling...

Rooting the Nexus 7 should be a piece of cake... it certainly was for me.

I have to go out for an hour or so... but when I get back, I'll test flash SuperSU-v1.93 on my own Nexus 7 using ClockWorkMod recovery.

Normally, I use TWRP for such things... but I'll see how it goes with CWM and see if I can grab some screenshots and any error messages that may result.

--------------------------

Incidentally, I notice the version of CWM you have installed, is an older version - v6.0.1.9... the latest is v6.0.4.3, and is available from here...

https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Possibly fastboot flashing a more up to date version of CWM on your Nexus 7 may resolve your problem.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi again, OneXdude...

Further to my previous post...

As I've said, I normally use TWRP recovery (TeamWin Recovery Project) for rooting and flashing stuff like Custom ROMs and flashing 'mods' like Xposed framework...but I have used CWM (ClockWorkMod) recovery in the past... so my recollection of how CWM works, as it currently stands, is now a little hazy.

Hunting around on my laptop, I find the earliest version of a copy of CWM I have for the Nexus 7, is v6.0.2.3 with a date/time stamp of 3rd of January 2013!!

Which means your currently installed version of CWM v6.0.1.9 significantly pre-dates that...

...and is very, very out of date!!. Possibly dating it back to 2012.

So, I would strongly recommend you update your version of CWM to the latest version... which is v6.0.4.3.

I suspect, because you're using such an old version of CWM to root, is the probable cause of why your attempts to root have so far failed.

---------------------

Anyway...

I've just test flashed

SuperSU-v1.93

on my own Nexus 7 (2012-WiFi ony) model... via

CWM v6.0.4.3

.

And it largely succeeded... the SU binary was successfully 'pushed' to /system/xbin... the only thing missing was the SuperSU app itself.

I've had this rather peculiar problem before... but it's easily resolved by just installing it from Google PlayStore.

Here is my CWM v6.0.4.3 output listing, when flashing SuperSU-v1.93... and is the sort of thing you should expect to see...

(Apologies for the poor quality of this screen shot... both TWRP and CWM recoveries lack the ability to directly take screenshots, so I had to photograph the screen using my Samsung Galaxy:().

--------------------------------------------------

So, in conclusion...

I would recommend you update your version of CWM to the latest version... and try flashing SuperSU v1.93 again.

Hope this helps... and good luck.

--------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Additional info...

Just spotted an incongruity/inconsistency in your first post... and which I have higlighted in red.

...and...

-----------------------------------

If your Nexus 7 is 3G capable (and has a SIM card it in it), then you MUST ENSURE you have the correct Custom Recovery installed for your specific Nexus 7 type.

So... not only are you running a very old version of CWM, you're also running an incorrect version of CWM:(.

-----------------------------------

A 'grouper' Custom Recovery is intended for WiFi only Nexus 7's... like mine, for example.

However, your Nexus 7 is a 3G Nexus 7... and so you need a 'Tilapia' Custom Recovery installed.

For the latest version of CWM for your 3G/GSM device, that would be... recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-tilapia.img.

And which you can find here...

https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

...under the title of Google Nexus 7(GSM).

Download to your PC... and fastboot flash it.

Regrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneXdude:
You were right, I was just using outdated tools to root my Nexus 7. I have it rooted now.

Thanks for your help and time, sorry that it was such an obvious answer.

Regards.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
No apologies required... What is obvious to some, may be obscure to others:).

You got there in there end... and that's what matters:).

But make sure you have the right version of CWM installed (see the edit to to my previous post)... it will matter if you need to perform NANDROID backups.

Rgrds,

I have been trying to root for months now, but I can't seem to do it. My friend, who is very knowledgeable about technology, couldn't even figure it out.

I followed all the steps that are listed. I connected as a camera (PTP) with USB debugging enabled using the cable that came with the phone, disabled my antivirus, ran adb.exe, ran ROOT.bat, and not much is happening. adb.exe appears to be working, because a command prompt window opens up and a bunch of text scrolls through, which I assume is supposed to happen. Then I run ROOT.bat, and a command prompt window opens and says * daemon not running. starting it now * * daemon started successfully *. That's it, nothing else happens. The phone is supposed to reboot a few times, but it doesn't, even when I wait 30 minutes.

My phone is running ICS, and I know I downloaded the ICS root program.

I'm not technologically illiterate, but I'm far from an expert.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

EDIT: Just remembered some information that might be useful. Someone suggested to me that I use ADB driver installer (can't link to it because new user - just google it), but my phone doesn't even show up on the list when I run the program. That might mean that my computer doesn't recognize my phone as a phone? I'm not sure. Anyway, I thought that would be helpful.

Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix 2] nikhJ:
Do a backup and try a factory reset. I had this same problem while rooting my friends phone... And do not run the adb.exe ...just double click the ROOT.BAT file... That's it.. His phone was full of apps and very slow...I did a factory reset...and it worked...oh and make sure USB debugging and unknown sources is ticked (unknown sources is under settings> security)..
[Motorola Atrix 2] jayfeather314:
I am trying to try that, but I've run into an issue. All of my contacts are saved in AT&T's address book, but I want to make a backup of them. However, I can't, because I can't seem to transfer the contacts to Google. How did you get around this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ebcrew:
is there a main thread on rooting? Im not finding it if so.

Just need instructions and the files. Thanks

Edit: The phone was given to me because he dropped it in water, its sitting in a bag of rice right now, I dont know what version of the OS he's running. My question is does the root work for all versions? or is it specific?
[Motorola Atrix 2] رامز:
here is the general thread for rooting

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1742879

to know your mobile android version just go to "settings" and slide down to "about phone" check in android version if it 2.3.4 or 4.0.4 then choose the right method for rooting from the rooting thread.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can advise me on how to stop my Vario randomly resetting itself. It's only just started to do this in the last few days having installed a few programs like SPB Pocket Plus, SPB Weather and SPB Backup.

My device information is:

ROM: 1.6.2.4 WWE

ROM Date: 11/15/05

ExtROM Version: 1.6.2.105

Will updating the ROM improve thisngs, if so, which one is the best? Any advice giben is really appreciated, thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ericb:
I had the same problem with the same software installed.

Don't know if it was the software but a replacement handset had version 2.21 and it is now much more stable with much better battery life too.

Good Luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] n9805928:
Is version 2.21 an official T-Mobile upgrade? If so, where do i get it from?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ericb:
I returned my previous MDA Vario to T-Mobile due to constant rebooting.

The new handset they supplied had the following details :-

ROM Version 2.21.2.6.WWE

ROM Date 3/9/06

Radio Version 02.19.11

Protocol Version 4.1.13.09

Ext ROM Version 2.21.2.109

I guess it must be an official T-Mobile version as they supplied the handset.

It is much more stable then the 1.6 or so version I previously had.

Hope this info helps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] n9805928:
Thanks for that.

If it is ROM rebuild that i need, i better start reading up on how to debrand the phone and add a Mr Clean ROM as they're supposed to be the best ones to use. I don't fancy sending my phone back to T-Mobile as i've heard stories exchange units being sent out!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ClassicalDonkey:
why do you not just up grade you phone to the newer rom!!! it is so easy to do!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] n9805928:
Cheers for the advice, i've downloaded the official 2.26 ROM from T-mobile, i just have to back up all my contacts and setting and then i'll have a go at installing the new ROM.

Fingers crossed it all goes well!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MicroVan:
I am having the same problems with the newest tmobile oem rom update..

I have installed the following apps.

battery plus pro 3.0

Omap 0.4

PediSuite

Photo Explorer

Microsoft Voice Command.

and the device will reboot atleast once a day if not more. can anyone tell me why it is rebooting?

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bendog2784:
^^ If your using omap to overclock its possible your device is unstable at the faster speeds causing the reboot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MicroVan:
hmmmm, I am only over clocking to 240 like most people are doing. but I did not encounter this problem until I updated to the new rom and reinstalled omap newest version with the auto load.

anyone else with the newest rom and omap installed?
[HTC One S] Graymalkin626:
Hello everyone. New to the site but I have been reading for the last week or so before I ask for help. I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my wife's T-Mobile HTC ONE S (S4). I have all the necessary files installed and have tried several different possible HTC drivers solutions to get the token id. In the command prompt it always gets stuck on waiting for device after I type in fastboot oem get_identifier_token. Also, when I'm in fastboot on the bootloader screen the device manager kicks back the failed to enumerate usb device error. I have tried different usb ports and sync cable as well and I still get the same error. When connected normally, device manager picks my phone up like it should under android devices as My HTC. I am on win 8.1.1 in case anyone that helps forgets that I put that in the title. Any help or guidance to a tutorial or another way to unlock the bootloader would be greatly appreciated.

[HTC One S] Rapier:
Quick question. Go to device manager on your PC and tell me exactly whats your USB controller. I guess you tried on USB 3.0 port...do you have also USB 2.0 ports on it? Also have you removed completely HTC Sync and keep only the drivers?
[HTC One S] Graymalkin626:
I will try the usb ports on the back when I get home. I will also let you know exactly what it says in device manager as well. Yes, I did try with just leaving the drivers after installing then uninstalling sync. I even tried with the win7 drivers as well for HTC.
[HTC One S] Charles_LV:
I had the same problem, spent whole day trying to make it work and finally gave up using my old laptop with XP
[HTC One S] Graymalkin626:
I don't think my pc has any usb 2.0. all the usb ports tell me the same thing when I put the phone into fastboot. The device manager states Unknown USB Device (Failed to Enumerate). Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). I believe my usb controller is a intel 6 series/C200 series chipset family usb enhanced host controller.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
It could be that you're out of luck in this case. There are problems with windows 8/8.1 and USB 3.0 to recognize the phone due to the drivers. You could try on a windows 7 machine or get some drivers that works. I know of a solution but only for Intel Xtensible USB 3.0 Controller, don't know any drivers for what you have
[HTC One S] Graymalkin626:
my next idea was to create a dualboot environment with win7 or vista installed, but that was last course of action. Ok, so before I do a dual boot I am gonna start fresh. I have the sdk and jdk installed already and I have disabled driver signature enforcement just to be on the safe side as far as win8 issues go with adb. My htc is now booted normally and shows up in device manager under portable devices and says that no mtp drivers are installed for my device. the phone has not installed any drivers automatically but shows up as a disc in case I want to install HSM. should I install HSM or go with HTC sync install then uninstall it? I also have removed the universal adb drivers I had installed before so now it is only adb drivers from sdk.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Oh, I just remembered... On some ROMs, on my win 8.1 I must set MTP mode. In standard UMS mode ADB doesn't work. In MTP mode, there's a device shown as My HTC in device manager. I initially had no driver for it but I made an "update driver" and choose the driver manually from my disk. The location for the drivers was where HTC Sync package installs them. Something like "Program Files/HTC/USB driver"...

Sent from nowhere over the air...
[HTC One S] Graymalkin626:
Thanks. I will try those tomorrow. I have all the drivers from winxp on up to win8 so i'm going to try each one with the corresponding compatibility mode. They were all in folders on my phone.
[HTC One S] Graymalkin626:
Unfortunately I had no luck with any of the drivers on win8.1.1. Luckily I was working on repairing a PC that had win7 on it. I have achieved my goal of unlocking bootloader, root, s-off, supercid and custom rom on my wife's htc one s. Thank you for all the speedy responses and helpful suggestions. I still plan on dual booting win7 on my PC to avoid these issues in the future. One last question; Does anyone one know if wifi calling works on liberty's sense rom v7a? Or atleast a link to the answer. Thx in advance.
[HTC One S] Rapier:
As far as I know, it doesn't support it. But I'm not 100% sure since I don't use this (I think it's more specific to US). This question was asked also in Liberty thread but remained without answer. I guess that if WiFi calling was supported, at least someone would have answered affirmatively.

This is freaking me out as a beginner in using UCCW, and I would be happy if someone could help me with this.

Why I cannot use a gif file as a background in UCCW without get the transperant part as a white background in the widget?

Yes I know about the Alpha function. But then my details turns transperant as well. And I don't want that.

Even with adding the file as an image (not as background), the same happends.

Attaching 2 pictures as an example. One i made in GIMP with 100% transperant background, and one screenshot from the phone where I had to put Alpha on 50% to make it transperant enough without loosing the details.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blak24:
Hello everyone, I've got a "little" problem: a friend of mine owns an S3 i9300, some days ago the phone dropped and now he can't see anything on screen. Is there a way to completely erase internal memory to sell the phone as broken? I mean, wipe data/factory reset + completely erase personal files such as photos, videos, music, folders, etc... Basically a completely restore to out-of-box conditions, with a stock ROM installed and nothing else.

Please consider that the phone has STOCK i9300 ROM WITHOUT root access;

I suppose I should do this:

1) Flash with ODIN a rooted ROM with custom recovery;

2) Use some ADB commands to completely erase data on the phone (maybe losing also the ROM I've just flashed)

3a) IF ADB command erases also the ROM ---> flash another stock ROM with ODIN (and then sell the phone as broken)

3b) IF ADB command erases data as requested but keeps the stock ROM (but with no apps, etc...) I'm done.

The problem is: which ADB commands should I use and how to do the trick? I know how to flash a Galaxy S* phone, I used it into my S2, I suppose an S3 would be basically the same. And I may also search for guides here in the forum, my main problem is the ADB part which I completely don't know

Thank you!
