[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prescient:
I'm running ubuntu 14.04 64-bit with ADB 1.0.31 and I've already tried the 4 common root exploits for android. No success at this point but zergRush does temporarily root my phone. To backtrack quickly, gingerbreak freezes and never completes, psneuter issues an error immediately upon execution, rageagainstthecage does complete successfully and may in fact gain root privileges but the device disappears from adb. Even after restarting the computer, disabling/enabling usb debugging, restarting the daemon and remounting the system partition. The command "adb devices" never shows anything after ratc completes and then exits. But the device is still listed with lsusb. Are there any other exploits I could try that might help with this phone?

Anyway, back to zergRush. It runs, it roots, it dies. The problem is that as soon as I gain root privileges and zR kicks me out of the shell I'm no longer able to access the shell. The device is still listed but running "adb shell" simply prints the message "error: closed." So it's literally impossible for me to root my phone the standard way by using the shell to copy su and busybox to /system/bin and change their permissions. However, I am still able to push files onto the device after gaining root privileges. I've tested this by creating an empty text file and pushing it to /system/bin. So here's my dilemma...

What if I changed the owner and permissions for su and busybox on my ubuntu pc. Then pushed them to /system/bin or /system/xbin. Then pushed superuser.apk to /system/app. Could I accomplish permanent root access? Could I finish up the rooting process after those files were installed? The only step that I cannot accomplish is remounting the system using the shell. I can issue the command "adb remount" which results in "remount succeeded." If I restart the phone after installing su, busybox and superuser will I be able to access the shell as root? If I try this method is there a way to reverse it just in case it doesn't work? What are the possible risks of trying this method?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

HI all, I seem to have a problem getting my laptop (ubuntu 12.04) to recognize my phone as storage when connected via USB. Here's what happened. I have already enabled USB debugging and USB debugging notify. When I plugged the phone to my laptop I got the usual message on the screen of my phone an when I clicked on it there were 2 tick boxes: one to recognize the phone as camera (that by the way worked) and the other one that recognized the phone as storage: when ticked nothing happened on my laptop, so I unticked both and now that bloody message is not coming up anymore on my phone, I only got one which says "USB debugging connected". ANy idea?

thanks

HI thanks, ok fair enough but somehow I seem to have messed up with it and I would like to fix it if I can: I can't get the usb debugging mode message up when I connect the phone and the laptop doesn't recognize it as storage, not only ubuntu but even windows! could it be a matter of drivers? If so where can I get them from?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
MTP is a proprietary and modern protocol, older or open source OS's will not support it out of the box. You will need the relevant drivers, not sure how to do it on older version of Ubuntu, may be worth looking in their forums (support is included in new version in the proprietary driver bundle). There are no drivers for Windows XP, but you can get them for Windows 7, I'll dig out the guide I have bookmarked somewhere.

Oh yeah the other thing I didn't mention is MTP honors your phones security, so if you have a secure lock it won't show up initially until screen is on and device is unlocked.

A new version of Google Play began to rollout this afternoon as build 4.9.13. The update doesn’t initially look like that big of a deal upon first launch, but once you jump into an individual app, book, album, or movie listing, you will immediately know that this is pretty major. The individual listings all appear to be designed with Material Design in mind. There are beautiful sliding animations, big imagery, and an overall cleaner layout.

recently I decided to dive into the world of rooting on my nexus 4 it was all going well until installed a xposed module that caused my system ui to stop working.

my phone keeps restarting and giving me the same message.I know the solution is easy just reinstall cyanogenmod (right?) but the problem is , is that I used the installer app on my phone and as you can tell I don't have access to that right now

so what to do (BTW I suck with all the line commands so yeah just saying)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Learn how to use those "line commands" so you don't suck and can get yourself out of the mess you're in. Also, get a proper recovery and don't use an app to flash roms. If you had a recovery it would be as easy as flashing the rom again in it.

Now you'll have to flash the factory image in fastboot and start all over again.

Pssst...use wugfresh nexus toolkit. But keep it to yourself ;)

Hi bro, even if your wifi is in disabled state all related services will be running/triggered in background from time to time. Sorry to say this but from the error displayed,it seems to be a hardware related error (not so sure).Something is wrong with your wifi adapter and it is not responding as expected to the interrupts passed to it.

Anyway i have attached log taken in verbose mode from logcat, while my phone booted (off state till the entry lockscreen).Use this as reference.My phone is stable

Compare it with your mobile's log during boot process.Usually during kernel loading it check for the status of the major hardwares available.

In your generated log,search for tag "WifiService" and see if you do not get any major error messages after this line,

'WifiService starting up with Wi-Fi disabled' .

You should try to fastboot erase cache then reboot in recovery mode (volume up then power when you see the triangle with exclamation mark) then in the menu, try to apply the ota again.

You could also unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery compatible with dual sim variant and flash a custom rom.

[MENTION=5037227]xferidx[/MENTION] just spent an hour typing reply then lost it.

Download the firmware for the phone from the Collection HTC Dual Sim post. It is at paragraph 1.1 HTC One 802w. Rename it firmware.zip and place it in the adb & fastboot folder. Boot into bootloader with the phone connected to the PC. Type in the cmd window:

1. fastboot oem rebootRUU

You should see a silver HTC logo

2. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

3. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Wait until complete in the cmd window, after a few seconds then move on

4. fastboot reboot

Don't know if it will work but it is worth a shot.

[HTC Desire X] chirou321:
Hello All,

I've spent hours on this forum and other, reading related subject, and I've tried so much things (probably some of them worsening my situation) so I'm asking for help now. I'm kind of a newbie so please be comprehensive.

So I've an HTC Desire X and thanks to Hasoon2000's Desire X All-In-One Kit v1.1 I've unlocked bootloader and flashed clockworkmod 6.1.5.

My phone worked perfectly until there was an official update for my android version, and it was impossible to install it.

So i needed to go back to stock basically. And that's where i screwed.

Obviously i didn't make a backup or nandroid before starting to play around.

I think i might have install kernel and recovery from earlier version that the one i had and this caused the problem? any way now the status is:

I cannot start my phone normally. I can only start it in fastboot mode. When i want to reboot it in recovery the HTC screen with "starting recovery" appears for 1 sec and then i've got a black screen and the only way out is reboot it to fastboot mode again.

when connected to my computer i can load boot.img or recovery.img via fastboot in cmd; but it doesn't change the situation.

I think the problem may come from the fact that when i cmd "adb devices", he cannot find any device. Even though i've installed the HTC drivers!

Details:

RADIO-1.15.40.04

eMMC-boot

Apr 3 2013, 15:50:50:0

my CID is HTC__E11

So then in order to fix that i've tried to RUU using the only RUU availables (with relocked bootloader): RUU_PROTO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_1.18.401.1_Radio_10.21.40.06U_1.10.40.23_release_295191_signed

but it doesn't work: a part from the fact that there's a blank after "From: Image version: ", when i try to update to image version 1.14.401.1, during the install it stop with ERROR 158 : IMAGE ERROR , telling me that i've to find a ROM that is adapted for me.

Well. Somebody have any idea how i can get my phone functionning again?

Could someone suggest the best (safest) method of rooting my AT&T G3? I've only rooted a couple of phones over the years, so I'm not terribly experienced at this. I don't want to flash any new ROMs or change the phone drastically. I don't even care much about removing bloatware.
