Can you give an example which mods, when you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery you can push superuser to gain root on your stock rom. Or install any rom you like including mods......they mostly just need root.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfasheldon:
S off will allow you to change cid (carrier I'd) of phone, you can make it super cid which will allow you to flash a y firmware you like for any m8 varient.

You will also be able to flash the adsp hk update for hk sound to work fully on models that the normal mod won't work

It will also allow you to switch between GPE and sense so long as you have a ruu image for each

It will also allow you to totally brick your phone if you don't understand what your doing

Better stick to HTC dev unlock as Rom and kernals can be flashed no problem , if it's a sense device GPE, cyan, asop and sense roms should work fine

Only issue you might get is Verizon or other USA specific

They do not work on the Note 2014. I have tried three cards in both exFAT and FAT32. None work with the 2014, but work fine in other tablets and my S4. They show up if you reboot, but vanish again when the device goes into sleep mode. Need a reboot for it to be seen again. Not a good scenario for battery life.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] rushless:
Yep. I have three of them bought from Amazon Direct over the past two months. $127 each counting tax. I have one in my V11 5130 and one in my S4. Working great. I got a third one fully expecting it to work in the Note. The same card that does not work in the Note works fine with the S4, Shield, V11 and even the Excite 7.7.

The Note sees the card and works with it when you reboot and then vanishes when in sleep mode and woke up- every time. Needs a reboot to see it again. This is not a card issue, but a device issue. Also if you unmount when you do reboot, remounting or plugging the card back in results in "card damaged", which it is not.

No cheapo rip offs here and is why I do not purchase from eBay or Amazon third parties.

Update: For kicks I tried again with the card in the S4. The S4 card works in the Note now and the Note card works in the S4.... Strange. All cards work in the S4, but only one works in the Note. Both exFAT and FAT32 were tested.

That card failed to work as well. Lame squared.

Lenovo S660 rooting

I have tried Kingo Android Root software to root lenovo S660, it took around 5 minutes to complete the rooting process, at the end of the process I got a pop on the screen which said root is successfully completed and rebooted the device. I could see Super Su icon in the drawer and it has been installed as a system app so that I cannot uninstall it. But when I click the Super Su icon to open it, a pop comes which says "The SU binary needs to be updated" it has two options "continue' and cancel', if I hit cancel it closes the super su. Or if I click continue it says " If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CMW that can be used to install the Su binary. This recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary" following this there are two options first is CMW/TWRP and second it normal. If I click normal, it says installation failed. Since I'm beginner I do not know how to create custom recovery like CMW or TWRP. Can anyone please help me to solve this issue.....

I tried to update the Super SU from play store but this did not help me out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudrapratap03:
Using VRoot

Dear I think that the software you are installing might be having any issue. So try to download it from some other source. And as per rooting your phone in concerned, follow these steps to root your Lenovo smartphone:

Download the application and then install it in your system.

After installing open the application.

When the application will open, connect your Android phone with your system.

vRoot will automatically detect the device.

Then click on the Root button. It will then automatically start rooting your smartphone.

Once your phone will be rooted, it will automatically restarted. You can check the rooting by finding superuser in your Application menu. If it is available there, then your mobile is rooted successfully.

Its really strange to know that your phone is unable to root. I have tried the same procedure on my Lenovo A690 and attained success too. But I am not able to predict the issue with your mobile. vRoot application can easily root MTK75XX Device.

Try something else

As nothing is impossible in this world, this lenovo s660 too might have some remedy in term of its rooting. If vRoot is not working, then just try Frameroot to root your mobile.

Install the FrameRoot app in your smartphone.

Then open it. In the display you will be able to see Boromir option. Just Tap it.

After running successfully, it will show a success message.

Then restart your phone.

See that your mobile phone is having SuperUser installed in it.

If yes then congz, your phone is successfully rooted.:cowboy:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bosnianboss9:
Yeah thanks dude :) But my original firmware is not there :/

And i figured out, i cant flash any previos firmware versions, just the 4.3.

When i boot, the sony and xperia logo comes, and then that animation, and blocks there, and the phone restarts, and doing this all over again..

Just the 4.3, boots normal and all that, but i dont want that 4.3, want a previous version :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
This is quite strange :eek:

1) Locked or unlocked bootloader?

2) Have you ever flashed a custom kernel?

3) Have you ever flashed a custom rom?

4) What's your original firmware customization number? EDIT: I've just seen that's 1266-6442... is this your ORIGINAL firmware? Where do you live? In Germany?

5) Rooted? CWM?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bosnianboss9:
I can have locked or unlocked, thats not the problem.

Custom kernel, roms, rooting CWM and so on, i never did that, just flashing with flashtool :S

and yeah 1266-6442 is the original customization number, and i live in belgium, but 20 minutes away from Germany.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
Ok, yes, I know how it works... ;)

I just asked about the bootloader status, because sometimes some people mess with bootloader, kernel, flash from recovery, flash with Flashtool... and so on... WITHOUT the understanding of what they're doing... and come here complaining... do you know what I mean? :D

OK, now, I know how to help you.

1)

There's a method to download and install the original firmware directly from Sony.

But you need to be rooted. So, are you rooted?

2)

Your customization number is wrong.

1266-6442 doesn't exist.

That's maybe the number of your model, but it's not related with the firmware.

The right number for Telekom Germany is 1265-9144

The customization number is inside your software and can be found pressing *#*#7378423#*#*, inside Service info --> Sofware info --> Customization Version.

Give me that number please, so I can understand what's the software working now on you device.

3)

You said "I didnt backup before flashing, and now have false firmware, no sim signal, no wifi, battery heats as hell, and so on and so on.."

Ok, please, explain better what you did.

Have you flashed what kind of rom? Via recovery?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bosnianboss9:
Haha yeah i know what u mean, but thats not me :D

1) As i sad, i just did flashing firmware, whats easy, but rooting, roms, kernel and so on, i dont have a clue how to do this and WHAT it is at all :S

2)http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2145364&page=4, here i saw it the 1266-6442 telekom germany DE, and i thought thats it, but u may be sure right.

And i currently have 1265-1620_R1J, flashed it yesterday just so, its CE Region i thing, 4.3 version, build .295.

3)Yeah, i first had the original Firmware on my phone, had the 4.2.2 version, and then the official software came for my phone and the T-Mobile provider i think.

And then, the 4.3 is just S**t, as i sad it, just problems, and i just want the previous version, because it worked perfect.

so i just was flashing all the other firmwares, especially the 4.3, from all the other regions, i thought maybe they will work better, but nope.

And when i try to flash previous versions/firmware, it just comes to the animation, after the sony and xperia logo, and restarts over and over again :/

And no, no roms, or recovery, i didnt do anything of all that, just flashing firmware with flashtool.

P.S. Thanks for trying to help me dude !
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] quintas84:
im reading you post and i get more confused because two things its impossible your xperia t had 4.2.2 because we jump ditectly from 4.1.2 to 4.3 and you put one thread for tx what is really your phone xperia t or tx?

Ouh sorry my bad, 4.1.2 it was, and yeah, i know of course what phone i have dude :) Sony Xperia T lt30p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
Ok, now I've understood what's your situation.

It seems that when you flashed 4.1.2 firmwares, the process was not compete for some reason.

The list from which you get that number, is about all kind of xperia T... and is different from the firmware list.

The problem is that you lost your previous original number, maybe it was 1265-9144... and you can resume it only with root and a little bit of experience... and actually I'm not sure you would be able to handle this kind of hacking stuff.

Anyway I'm quite sure that 4.1.2 from CE is perfect for your needs.

Try this one with Flashtool: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42393403&postcount=29

This firmware is perfect for any european country: I tested many times and is one of the best.

But before flashing, recharge your battery to the maximum. And be sure that the flashing process is complete and without errors.

Just try and let me know...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bosnianboss9:
Well Im downloading it now, in 5 minutes the download is done, and flash it then and i will report.

When it doesnt work, i must do that root or what u think should work.

With a bit of instructions and so on, i could do it, im a "Computer/Technic Freak" anyway :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bosnianboss9:
Damn, didint work. I had 50 % Battery, thats not the problem, the flashing process went good without any errors, and again, it comes past sony and xperia logo, and then by the animation, it blocks and restarts and do it all again..

I think i must do that root and so on :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
This kind of issue is called "bootloop".

When it happens, try to push "power button" + "volume up" together.

The phone will turn off.

Turn on again and if there's bootloop again, repeat the procedure on and on and on.

Try many times...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bosnianboss9:
Well i did it, many times, didnt help.. And tried the soft and hardreset at least, didnt work either.. But im asking, why does this bootloop dont appear by any 4.3 version ?

Can i check somehow, is my phone rooted ?

Well, the other method wirh rooting and so on, must be done i think..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
I can't answer to the first question.

You are the first with this weird problem and I'm beginning to think that something is broken inside your phone.

Bootloops are usual when something is wrong with kernel or system, but if you say that flashing went good and this appears only with 4.1.2 , I really don't know why.

You are not rooted because you've never done before and anyway every time you format the system (flashing with Flashtool or via recovery) you lose root.

So you are not rooted for sure.

The problem now is becoming bigger, because there's no way to root a 4.3 firmware directly.

But... guess what? You have to root 4.1.2 before and then install a 4.3 already rooted. :crying:

The only way for you to root 4.3 directly is to

unlock your bootloader

, but this means that you lose warranty and DRM keys (that are needed to let work some functions like Bravia Engine).

Actually you could save your warranty and DRM keys with a special backup (called TA backup), but.... guess what? You need to be rooted!!!! :crying:

The second way is to try to install 4.0.4 ice cream and root it. It could work.

I give you this link https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B55PDGQqCzReV2dFSjFSNnlLLVk/preview?pli=1

It's 4.0.4 italian version...

Try this... and if it doesn't work, the only way is to unlock your bootloader losing warranty and drm keys, sorry...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bosnianboss9:
Dude, i s*it on the warrany and so on, i just want my phone to get goind and work !

So i will unlock the bootloader, and what should i do next ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
LOL :cyclops: as you wish...

1) Flash 4.3 with Flashtool

2) Unlock your bootloader on Sony official site following all the instructions: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

3) Once it's unlocked, open Flashtool and re-flash 4.1.2 CE that I gave you and you tried before: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42393403&postcount=29

4) Don't turn on. Download Doomkernel here: http://d-h.st/4kK

Unpack the .elf file inside the zip

5) Open Flashtool. Connect the phone to PC keeping pushed the volume-up button. Now the phone is in fastboot mode. Click on the lightning symbol, select fastbootmode, select kernel to flash, select the .elf file extracted before, done.

6) Unplug the phone. Turn on and you will see the doomkernel logo... and now I hope that you finally enter into 4.1.2 firmware without bootloop.

7) To root: you need to copy this file http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip to the internal memory.

Turn off. Turn on pushing volume-down repeatedly, now you enter into recovery, now install the supersu zip and reboot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bosnianboss9:
DAAAAAMN ! -.- :/ DommKernel logo is there, xperia logo, animation, and blocks again, restarts all the time.. I'm really desperate...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] istux:
Now you have 4.1.2 with the doomkernel and the root, which is the perfect combination to do anything on your device.

If it's working, you can leave the phone in this situation. :D

Instead if you really want to go back to the original firmware, go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2334653

Follow the part A using this custom number 1265-9144 (t-mobile Germany). Remember you need root for this process!
