[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenacick:
Well I have tried Firewater/Weaksauce & Firewater/TempRoot methods too, I gain temp root no problem in either case, just can't get firewater to get anywhere, it hangs and hang and hangs, and I have to do a hard reboot to retry.

And,

Yep, running everything, every time as admin...and yes am on Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium.

So just to throw $H!T to the wall to see if it sticks, I have been throwing some of these ideas/questions around my head all day.

With regards to the OS version of windows, I do have firewall, defender, and anti-malware all OFF/disabled when I am make any attempt, but just in case have also added soju.exe to the allowed lists. With the exception of the newer Microsoft Security Essentials, as it's newish to me and I don't know how to add exceptions to it yet. I've just been turning it off.

Everything I can find about the point where it stops each time, say it's because of a security issue on the OS or network, anybody have ideas about any OTHER security type programs which may be running services in the background which may prevent the connection from being able to communicate each reboot?

Another thought I had was, would it be worth running it in compatibility mode for say XP SP2 along WITH the ADMIN permissions?

What about turning on network sharing (on the phone) to use the PC network connection for internet? My thinking being with the phone supplying the connection (with all the reboots and such), its causing some kind of hiccup because of reconnection timeout or something?

Lastly, I realized I hadn't asked probably one of the most obvious of questions, as I assumed the where. But I have been downloading and extracting the zipped package directly into my adb/fastboot folder. So when it runs, it does so from inside that environment, and I don't know if it would matter? Or even if the locale matters or not? Could it be the part of the problem too, having the other files in the zipped package extracted and in the same folder, along with the still zipped package when trying to run the exploit?

I appreciate your responses in advance! I feel like each day that passes I get another grey hair!

Make an ubuntu Linux boot disc and run rumrunner using Linux.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenacick:
disconnecktie,

I would be fine and willing to try this, however I have never attempted to run any Linux as an OS, HD or otherwise (as you suggest with a boot disc). Could you point me in the right direction on where to find a good tutorial on how to create and run such a disk? Also, which ubuntu Linux version would you suggest that would have the best chance of success alongside my HTC phone version and the Rumunner exploit?

Thanks in advance!!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
The ubuntu website has all the info you need for making a boot disc. I personally use 14.04. You should only have to boot into ubuntu from the disc. I don't think you should have to take it much further than that. Put rumrunner on a usb drive or something and then follow the instructions for running it in Linux.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenacick:
Ok I will give it a try in the AM and update the thread on here after to let ya know how it went! ;P
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
This might be a long shot, but are you using a router that may have built in security? can you temporarily bypass your router and hook your PC straight into the modem?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 2ndbrother:
Any word on how this went? I just recently got around to trying to get S-Off, and I'm in an extremely similar situation as you. I'm on 1.10.605.10 firmware, but rumrunner is failing in the same exact way as you and I've disabled and even uninstalled all antivirus/firewall software on my Windows 7 PC. I did try running the linux version of rumrunner using an Ubuntu boot disc/Live CD/whatever I made, but rumrunner still failed exactly the same way (i.e. "FATAL: Fu@k it" and then dots after the second "Waiting for fastboot"). Both adb and fastboot seem to be working because I can see my device with both the "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" commands. Just today I used weaksauce to gain root, but haven't yet tried firewater for S-Off. I'll try later tonight, but based on your post, I'm not feeling confident. If you figured it out, would appreciate it if you could post what worked for you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 2ndbrother:
Not to hijack the thread, but I was able to finally achieve S-Off, unlocked bootloader, the whole shebang, after running into similar walls as OP. Just thought I'd post my full efforts here if OP or anyone else comes looking for info.

As stated before, I was on some old software (kept declining software updates since I'd get around to S-Off/unlock/etc. sooner or later). I was on the 1.10.605.10 firmware. Since rumrunner wasn't working for me, I did the risky thing and took a software update, hoping it would be an incremental update and not a huge rollup of everything VZW has pushed so far, so I could try a different rumrunner version or maybe firewater. I was right, and I ended up on the 1.10.605.15 firmware. So I tried the *.15 version of rumrunner. I did get a little further in the process (messages like "must ferment longer" and "skunky rum is nasty") but it still failed, giving a message about downloading the latest packages from www.rumrunner.us. Obviously, that was not helpful. Also, for some unknown reason, my PC was no longer letting me boot from CD/DVD, so I couldn't try it in linux under the *.15 firmware. As a last ditch effort, I rooted with weaksauce, and tried the firewater method based on a single post/suggestion I found digging through the rumrunner thread. Bingo! I confirmed unlocked and S-Off in hboot. Hope this helps OP or anyone else!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vaping redhead:
I used sunshine to unlock and s-off. It works great.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xenacick:
Update....UNLOCKED!!!!

I just wanted to close the thread and let those who helped me out know that I am finally S-off and unlocked!!

As is typical with firewater I had to run it 6 times before it finally took, but when it did, I almost missed it as I nearly thought it had just hung again after chugging the second bottle. But...WHELP...it had worked!

Basically, given the myriad of issues I kept experiencing I think what finally did it was getting all my computers ports used for networking traffic open to accept traffic coming AND going.

As I had all firewall, anti-virus, and security type features disabled I couldn't figure out why I kept getting basically the 'error' that came of those kinds of features being enabled still.

So I went through my firewall with windows admin management (via the firewall management console snap-in). I kept my firewall enabled, BUT opened all the ports which the phone used to communicate to the network during the root process.

As I said previously, if I used weaksauce it could gain root fine, but wouldn't post any toast notifications when rebooted, although it had regained temp root. So I stopped using that as my temp root method and just stuck to the temproot method provided by firewater. Which worked fine each time, but would place a "Tampered" flag on my bootloader, due to some kind of change in the system settings or registry. So each time I retried running firewater I had to literally go into bootloader RUU mode and reflash the signed RUU.

All of that was just an inconvenience compared to just not being able to get a simple ROOT from a fully stock OG phone. So at any rate. Changing the ports my computer was using through the network worked like a charm. I had to search the web for the version of windows (including any SP's), the phones current OS, and the firmware version to find out which ports the phone would be using to pass requests through the firewall. Once I found those I just made sure traffic was allowed for my device over those ports in BOTH directions.

After I did this, it seemed that took care of the issues, as I started to see chugging, which I had NOT seen up to that point. So then I proceeded to just keep trying like everyone kept suggesting, and tried 2 different USB ports on my computer, and wallah! ROOT! :victory:

Don't know if this will be helpful to those of you who are still having problems. But I am fairly certain this is finally what worked for getting me rooted.

Best of luck to you all!! :fingers-crossed:

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] l2adiant:
hello guys m using Huawei Mediapad 7 Youth but its USB debugging option is disabled

please please help me to enable it so i can root it

its showing all that options but m unable to enable it
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Alexei Volkoff:
You mean it's disabled in the "Developer options" menu? Have you enable "developer options" yet?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
It's a little trickier than that.

You have to tap the "Build number" in about phone several times.

If you pay attention, there is a counter which flashes up telling you hou many more times you need to tap.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] l2adiant:
i know about that

usb debugging options are already available but are "DISABLED" m unable to ENABLE it

guide me that one please :(
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
Developer options.

Slider to on.

Then check USB debugging.

If you lose debugging when you close the screen, then you have probably disabled it with some security / anti-theft software such as Avast.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Alexei Volkoff:
I was pretty sure you did, hence my question. Correct me if I'm wrong but you are running a custom ROM, aren't you? So, you must have rooted the phone before. If this problem is happening with this ROM only, then it is probably a compatibility problem. Have you asked for help on the ROM's thread here on XDA? Perhaps the developer can help you. I wish I could help you further but I have never used that ROM.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] l2adiant:
Its custom rom installed with security they disabled usb debugging, please help me to enable or root it
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
Sorry, you have to talk to the custom ROM people.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] l2adiant:
they wont allow :(

any other option to root?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Alexei Volkoff:
Try a root software that runs directly from you phone, not your pc. It is a long shot, but worth trying. Otherwise, I guess you should consider changing to a less restricted ROM.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] l2adiant:
tell me which software to use???? any suggestion?

or tell me how to install custom recovery without usb debug ?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
Factory reset, or download an official Huawei ROM and install following the instructions.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Alexei Volkoff:
Sorry, I can't recommend any specific app because I have never tried one first hand. You should ask for the opinion of people who have used these apps, here on XDA. As for the second question, I'm afraid I can't help you either.

However, the best solution is to stick to official ROMs. There are so many apps to customize so many different aspects of official ROMs that I've never felt the need to install custom ROMs in any of my phones. Pursuing this path of trying to root a ROM which the original developer doesn't want to be rooted is just a bag of hurt. It's not worth the trouble, IMO.

Good luck
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lecorbusier:
The Youth was sort of the successor of the original MP, which I have, and which was better.

I think it has a locked Bootloader, but there probably is a solution here on XDA to unlock and root it, and probably a custom recovery, but no custom roms.

Does anyone have a working 4.4.4 download link?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
There is a link in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/general/4-4-4-inbound-t2871557

page 5 or so I posted the md5 of what downloaded here when my phone pulled the update. So if that link posted in the thread has matching md5 I'd say the file is good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
The file that Omar04 posted is definitely corrupt. I tried many different way to open and fix. So someone else will have to post it. I will soon as I get the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
Go and check the md5 from [MENTION=4183745]Omar04[/MENTION] upload and see if it matches the one I posted.

Everyone that's tried to extract the update that their phone has downloaded has had the same issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Johnabis:
I downloaded the OTA, but when I reboot it fails in updating. I am on rooted stock nc5 with an engineering bootloader. what do I have to do to get the update? my knox is tripped already.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
You need to Odin stock NC5 bootloader then flash back to 100% unrooted stock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Johnabis:
Thanks for the quick responce. I had the engineering bootloader as I could not find the stock bootloader. with that said I can just unroot using super user again I take it? i'm a noob as i'm sure you can tell by now.

Thanks,

John
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
No you need to flash the stock bootloader. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tef6vr2iuieasqq/NC5_OEM_BL.tar.md5?dl=0

Then flash stock Unrooted NC5 because the update will still see that you were modified and not stock. There is two places to look if you are official. 1st place is under settings about phone. The other place is in download mode. If both places don't say official or Samsung Official then it won't update. Here is a stock one click nc5 rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51848277
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Johnabis:
Thanks, i'll flash the bootloader first (hitting bootloader icon in odin) then the nc5 rom next (hitting pda in odin). the last question is when I flash nc5 rom i won't actually lose anything right? such as my current config or files.

Thanks,

John
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JonSCSL:
First thing I forgot. In order for the bootloader to stick do a cold boot into download mode. To do that completely shut off phone the wait about 30 seconds after the button lights turn off then hold power+home+volume down button at the same time until you see the Samsung logo.

And about the one click I would back up everything! You might loose stuff. Can't promise. I used the one click earlier and didn't loose anything. But you I took a chance. I also made a nandroid backup.
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi all. For you all who changed stock recoveries with custom recoveries here are the stock recoveries for S222 and S223 for 4GB and 8GB ROM.

You need this just in case you want to install next updates.

Good Luck and happy flashing.

Not for common user, in epic4g kexec used by kernel devs to test a new kernel build without replace the existing kernel.

They just load a temporary kernel to test. Then that kernel will gone after a reboot.

[G2 Original Android Development] Williek113:
Would this allow a multiboot with AOSP and Stock roms?
[G2 Original Android Development] patrik.KT:
The patch is not necessary at the moment, because of the locked bootloader. It's just for devs to be prepared with their kernel when we can unlock the bootloader, so that multirom will work as it should.

[G2 Original Android Development] MH2033:
Thanks for your great thread. But there is no instruction about how we can add that patch to kernel source. Could you write more details about implanting this patch?
[G2 Original Android Development] MH2033:
No response??
[G2 Original Android Development] patrik.KT:
Download the patch file from first post and place it in the kernel root directory. Then you should use this command to check if there are any conflicts: git apply --check <path_to>.patch

If there are no errors, use this to apply: git apply <path_to>.patch

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here so please do correct me if I'm posting in the wrong section or the wrong format, etc. I want to play by your rules!

Every time I boot my phone it takes very long - usually about 53 seconds. I know I have way too many apps (178 user ones last time I checked) but I still think that's too slow. I read about a build.prop tweak that enables the "quickpoweron" setting, like some Samsung devices have built in. I would try it out, but I've already bootlooped my phone once after I made some other changes to build.prop, so I'm reluctant to bootloop it again and go through the pain of restoring a backup. Does anyone have any experience of mixing a CM11 M9 Nexus 4 and "ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true"? If anyone has, I'd like to know:

Does it work - will it bootloop the phone?

Is it worth it? What (if any) is the speed improvement - before/after?

Is there anything else I ought to know before doing it - any negatives?

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out here with any experience! I appreciate it greatly!

No harm done, no bootloop. Phone starts just fine running android L preview. If you don't mind anecdotal evidence, my phone did seem to boot slightly quicker. I'm not willing to spend the time to clock how fast it boots with/without the build.prop edited, though...too much hassle for how far I'm willing to go for this, since it's probably only 10 seconds, at best.

[General Questions and Answers] ZeroTheSavior:
I'm in a really tight spot here, and I really need someone's help.

My phone has multiple users on it and Titanium Backup only works for the main account.

However, when I updated my phone to the latest nightly the Play Store disappeared, and if I try flashing it again it doesn't work because of inconsistent UIDs.

Since installing a new rom would end up wiping all the data of the other user, and since they can't back up their apps because Google Services aren't working, I can't wipe and restore.

So either I need to get Google Services working so the second user can backup their app data, or I need to figure out how I can back up the second user's data and then restore when I install a new rom.

Has anyone been able to figure this out yet or do you have to truly go through sprint here? I refuse to continue paying for their service but I love my note 3 and since I'm expected to pay off the phone then I expect full access to every part of the phone, not limited to, but including, the ability to unlock to use on another carrier. However I don't think sprint will grant me an unlock for my note since I'm behind on payments, then again, they gave me my msl codes for both mine and my wife's note3 the other day without question.
