[HTC One X] Thant:
Are you uninstalled HTC Sync before run the command. Uninstall get new code and try again. Change USB cable with original try on differnt port or PC. Use latest drivers from HTC

This FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)) error is normal
[HTC One X] h20xyg3n:
Hi Thant,

Yeah I've seen it is a common error to get the 'Too Many Links' thing. But for most it seems to atleast unlock their phone, which for me it does not.

I did read somewhere about uninstalling HTC Sync while trying to perform the unlock, I tried this, with no success.

I will try the unlock process again tonight, retreive a new code and change the USB cable out.

When you say at the end there 'Use latest drivers from HTC' - you mean installing the latest HTC Sync and then Uninstalling it before I attempt another unlock procedure, right?
[HTC One X] Thant:
YES install HTC Sync and then uninstall only HTC Sync leave the drivers and I read somwhere guy that have your problem and changing USB1.1 to USB2.0 solve him problem try on differnt PC too

Have you tried it with other cables? I thought my phone was dead a few months ago, only to realize that SEVERAL of my USB cables were broken.
[General Questions and Answers] Sanyam Jhingan:
Connecting cable can be the problem or if your cable is fine you should simply reinstall the usb drivers of your phone.

[Happened to me also but reinstalling the usb drivers fixed it..!!!]

Hit thanks to keep me motivated and keep helping people like you
[General Questions and Answers] Duim:

Can't even boot it.

Can you help me ?

Hello,

Im trying to know what LCD drivers my star n9500 has. but im having some issues, i´ve already tried the * # * # 116 # * # * combination but didnt work, the second mode was to check the drivers in factory mode. Although the menu is in chinese the only information that i got was the kernel version, android version, etc, Is there any other way to find out the drivers ?

thank you
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
DISCLAIMER : You attempt the following at your own risk !

I'm not responsible if your phone blows up, bricks, you travel back in time or go bald or something!

Background :

I have the MT2-L05 Mate 2 from China.

When I received my Mate 2 last Thursday, the phone was on 4.2.2

After much hunting and downloading and flashing of ROMS, I managed to finally update to 4.4.2 KitKat.

Great ! I was happy. But I didn't have root access.

After trying and failing to use the various bootloader unlock tools on these forums, I Emailed Huawei, and politely asked them if I could have the 16 digit code for my Mate 2. An hour later an Email arrived with my bootloader unlock code, so I fastbooted, used the code and unlocked the Bootloader.....Cool ! Thanks Huawei, great customer service.

I then went to root my phone, and here the problems started. I tried at least 20 different Root tools, both via phone and over the pc, but no joy.

Nothing worked ! Vroot, Kingoroot, Towelroot, srs root, root genius 1.8.7, etc they all failed.

I was at the point of giving up, when I found a Chinese version of rootgenius 2.0.1.3......I ran it via pc........and Success ! I was finally rooted.

Supersu was installed, the binaries updated fine and all was good with the world. I tried wakelock detector first ( Yeah, I know, I REALLY need more battery life from the Mate 2 ! ), and Supersu asked for permission and it worked no problem.

I then tried to install adaway, and then I ran into problems, I was unable to edit my hosts file....ummm...odd. OK, then I tried to install xposed......Impossible to install.

I then read on these forums to edit build.prop and change a simple setting to get xposed running.......ok, no problem, yet when I edited my build.prop file, it would NEVER EVER save the edits. Weird? what's going on?.......after much searching and much reading I finally found the problem.................

Root Genius 2.0.1.3 :

http://www.shuame.com/root/
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
The Problem :

The 4.4.2 update adds a file to your System folder called :

set_immutable.list

this file contains :

/system/bin
/system/build.prop
/system/etc
/system/fonts
/system/framework
/system/isp.bin
/system/lib
/system/ons.bin
/system/usr
/system/vendor
/system/xbin
/system/app/HwLauncher6.apk
/system/app/HwLauncher6.odex
/system/app/systemUI.apk
/system/app/systemUI.odex

Any location listed above is IMPOSSIBE to mount as rw. Every file explorer or emulator you try will tell you it is rw, but it's not.

It's locked down completely...................and it's REALLY annoying.

This is why I could never edit my build.prop or Install Adaway etc..................

But I found a solution...... ( I think ! )..........
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
The Solution :

I spent the afternoon at work using google translate to find a fix for my problem and found a post from a guy called :

**** wire His Royal Highness Prince czx ( I cannot post the first 4 letters as it will probably be banned....It must be a Google translate error but it made me laugh ! )

His guide never worked for me until I made a few edits and added STEP 4. Then I got it to work.

The Solution :

1, First Root your Phone ( I suggest trying Root Genius 2.0.1.3 from my first post )

2, install busybox (I suggest BusyBox ( Stericson ) as I couldn't get this to work with the Jrummy BusyBox installer )

3, Install Rom Toolbox Pro ( I know it's payware and I tried other programs, but this is the only one that worked for me. I had already purchased ages ago. The free version may contain the following tools too, but I genuinely don't know )

4, open Scripter from Rom Toolbox pro and click " Mount System R/W "

5, open Terminal Emulator from Rom Toolbox Pro

Type: su then press enter

Type: mount -o rw, remount / system then press enter

Type: cd system then press enter

Type: chattr -R -i * then press enter

(On step 5 there is a space between remount forward slash and system and also between i and *)

6, Leave Terminal Emulator open, Hit your Home Button

7, then delete the file :system / set_immutable.list with Root Explorer. Other File managers with root access may work, I haven't tried

If you can not delete it, the above steps haven't worked, I can only suggest you try from step 4 after rebooting your phone.

If you are successful and manage to delete the set_immutable.list file then reboot your phone.

Job Done !

You now have full Root Access.

This has been tested by myself on my MT2-L05, it should work on ALL China Variants and presumably on the US MT2-L03 if this file is included in a 4.4.2 update, but I obviously cannot guarantee this.

I'm also curious as to whether anyone thinks this has left my phone open to exploits by the deleting this file....? Remember, if I have done something stupid by doing this, then so will you if you follow the above!

All I know is Xposed has installed perfectly after finally being able to edit my build.prop file and Adaway is running like a charm.

Feedback very welcome.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlemange:
I followed your guide, the part I bolded didn't seem to work for me, but after a few attempts I just kept going with the rest of the guide and I was still able to delete the file at the end of the day :) Thank you so much! I always felt like the root I had with 4.2 was kind of a pseudo root since I was limited by my root access, this is exactly what I needed!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] scpion:
I manage to get root and delete that file. Hooray and thanks! But after editing the build.prop, I still can't get xposed to install. I keep getting this error on the install screen.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
Install xposed 2.5.1, it's the safest option for now and you will not get this error message.

I haven't tried too many xposed apps yet, but wanam works if you want circle battery etc

Experimental features of Greenify work too.

Gravity box Kitkat will not run properly for me.. I suggest you do not attempt to install it at the moment.

Let me know if you find anymore cool xposed modules to try!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] scpion:
Thanks dude. Btw does your device support Google search by swiping up from home?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] janrck:
Same issue for me
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
Install xposed 2.5.1, it's the safest option for now and you will not get this error message.

Cool xposed apps for 2.5.1 :

wanam kit : adds circle battery, expanded notifications, 4-way reboot menu etc etc

Android L Navbar : adds Android L navbar and Android L shapes Navbar

Both work flawlessly for me and have NEVER crashed once.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] janrck:
Hi, I followed your steps but in the step 5, when i type this : mount -o rw, remount / system it doesnt work.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] magicpromise:
I then read on these forums to edit build.prop and change a simple setting to get xposed running.......ok, no problem, yet when I edited my build.prop file, it would NEVER EVER save the edits. Weird? what's going on?.......after much searching and much reading I finally found the problem.................

/QUOTE]

How was SU installed if you had no rw privs?

vroot, kingroot, kingoroot, kinguser, srs root and rootgenius were created for a select few... it was a side effect of massive social engineering via the internet that they'd leak to so many others who weren't the target.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] 4L0M:
I'm guessing because I could write rw to system folder. Set-immutable-list blocks folders inside system folder, not the basic system folder itself. ie/ system/xbin or system/etc they are blocked. /system on its own isn't.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] magicpromise:
yes, and the instructions worked great.

i made a script with it in totalrom and set it to load on boot along with total rom itself to keep a strangle hold on the permissions.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] El Viejo:
Can you please upload the script you made?

You'll make things easy for me, 'cause commands in terminal don't seem to work in my case.:confused:

Thank's !
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
Well the beloved S3 is on eBay and I have in my hands a new beautiful and very exclusive One Plus One.

So its time to say thanks for all the help and entertainment for the last couple of years on this forum, as was the case before with the SGS1 and Nexus S forums where I enjoyed myself equally.

I have to say Sammy's reluctance / inability to upgrade is SGS3 users to Kitkat has soured my allegiance to to the Samsung line of flagship devices, but I'm excited about my venture with this fantastic new handset running CM11s and heading over to the OPO XDA forums.

Thanks and good luck guys!

Introduction

well, after i done LiquidSmooth For unlocked Bootloaders , some users requested me to make it for Locked BL ,
you maybe will ask why i make a new thread and didn't just put LBL version in UBL thread , actually i do this because there is some difference between UBL and LBL versions , so i won't users get confused , thats why i decided to do this and make things clear :D

I've been on this ROM for two days now and I'm not switching back. I have none of the problems [MENTION=5246693]salamkonaziz[/MENTION] has. Did you do a clean wipe before installation?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] HytestA:
First time I have installed a ROM in about a year, and what a great ROM. Thanks for making a LBL version for us locked owners, installed flawlessly. So many options, I'm totally lost with what to do!!!

I have one issue though that might be solvable and that is that my screen seems over sensitive, scrolling jumps a fair bit as though im touching other areas of the screen and also when typing, swiftkeys is adding strokes i'm not pressing or jumping words in as though ive finished and hit space.

This issue was only on first day of use so i'll keep an eye on it as it may settle but thought best to flag it up just in case ;)

Thanks for the ROM and thanks for 4.4.4 :)

Is anyone experienced quick battery drain issue and heatup issue?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] carlfinity:
Nope, i get 5 hrs of SOT. Heating i think has to do with 3D gaming and room temperature. My average batt temp when on wifi and facebook app is 35 degrees celsius.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] HytestA:
I did have to start with, I removed battery doctor and an optimisation app and it's improved things. Juice defender also helping. Maybe different governor setting will help, but I'm not sure on what the different options do so I can recommend
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] carlfinity:
Try using wheatly as your governor as it greatly helped me reduce the heating
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] fernoct:
