[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda-dru:
help..

hello there OP , thankyou for the time you have put into this tool, im a noob with smartphones, and once tried 'windroid' one-click/aio type device from xda forums, it ended up with me unlocking the token thingy, but then it would not go frther, it actually put a cross X over the pic of a HDD or looked it, i quickly hit power off/one and it booted automatically into a factory install/reset kind of environment.. since then ive been to scared to even try rooting again... but your kit and hansoon one seem O.K , but my problem is, how do i find what version exactly of phone that i have, the thing lookes like the htc one x, i recall updating the rom couple of times now, so it is on kernel v3.* , but again, i need to somehow find this info and then try again using a app that actually works..i getting good reviews on your thread so i guess im hoping for some magic here, i know the questions ive asked are very nooby, but trust me i thought i had killed it, i remember unlocking the token id, i recall pasting this in and then it showed up as unlocked.. i have kept my .bin file handy if ever i re-needed it.. so i guess that part is done.. i would LOVE to run something wich doesnt kill the battery, as im experincing now is 1day lasting full charged..without many apps :S

i am sorry for the length of this question, its just i had a bad experience once, dont want that again.. but im hanging to try again... feel free to respond, or not respond, i know what im askingshould be here somewhere, although the model, if it is a one or one-x i guess is the only thing i am curious of..is how would i know because a couple of models looked very similar.. i THINK im running android 4.2.2 ,kernel 3.* , i beleive there is a couple.

i know there is a new exploit out for v3 kernel. would this not help make the tool 1000% proof.?? one wich i was told is now being used for android v5 wich apprently roots every device upto v5, so thats all v3/4 and 5 in one exploit...i have 'heard' that xda do have it and are using it for newer phones.. but what an oppurtunity,if this was added into your tool,it would be 100% proof on everything android.. just a thought but, you seem like a happpy go lucky cool op, so im just saying, if i was working on a tool, id work alot more on exploitation of the device/making sure there is no residual pains, and simply adding ballon like tips around the app kinda cool touch... i like your tools look, and i wish to use it.. but i dont want to endup being locked in phone..

i have htc one x , 32g, i believe :S it LOOKS exact same as the htc one-x,it was given to me as a one-x (sold to me),and at that stage,it was on ebay prettymuch on par with the other htc one-x,so it would be one-x im about 99% sure, i just now wonder about the updates i allowed the phone to perform,wich then changed android version/kernel.

I dont know if you have the answer i need, or answers if you wish to answer the entire post,because your going to get it,and really its you i want to ask anyhow, so its fine if it stays private, although since it is noobish, i guess you could go either way... i do raise some issues for some people to scared to get 'bricked' .. my phone uses vodaphones manager,wich i have uninstalled everytime it installs,now it has embedded itself though,and it only deletes down to un updated vodafone manager, i deleted every other voda app on there... so its basiocaallly a question of, do i go ahead with this version, or do i wait for something thats 100%.. im sure alot of people are like me, alittle hesitant to root..or had bad experiences.. ive rooted my samsung duo young fine, but the htc, well.. its got me sofar..i see all the one touch tools,i grabbed them, but wich one will actually work right.. remembeing i have used one wich was labelled windroid from xda ,it only made me paranoid as hell to use a working one, and then, i also think of exploitation, and i seriously wonder if your app can rooot an updated one-x on 4.2.2,and it does not go higher, it seems like two updates to get to this version,no updates now for about 6-12months,so i am looking here at a handful of exploits wich DO work and will root, ie; futex ; or asking you, if you think that would make your app even nicer,and erhaps a cleaner root process is achieved with something new, i know the one mentioned in UG came to xda,so,why is there no updated packs :?

i would hope that things got updated,maybe just me,but if theyre updating theyre firmware, then surely you must update your end to handle this... so is MY phone going to be o.k with this app, or do i wait and hope there is a newer expoloitation achieved ?

its a long post,, but i hope im getting through to some dev, theres alot to be done with these packs,specially with things like google play pad coming out, id like to buy one of those,but again,how do i trust apps wich have not been updated in ages...yet my phone has updated.. it just blurs the mind as to how you would get around kernel patches..i know android has many exploits,but not clean ones like the current one in use.. i will look in on this thread and hopefully someone will explain to me how to get the exact phone info, and alittle more info on how things getting rooted, ie; exploitation , and kernel images/links to GOOD working kernels already tested.. noobs like me dont want to test 5 types, we want one GOOD one :)

im sorry to write alot,but this is good topic ive been walking around for to long. i even have a spare iphone sitting here just for when i root the one-xx.i am confdent that if anyone will help me on this,its going to be xda forums, simple as that... i dont even bother reading many other blogs nomore,everything android is here..its a great little place,and i love it sofar.. exploring the roms,reading,wanting :[.. i will await some feedback. again, apologies for long post,but i trying to be thorough as i can on each issue. cheers.

apologies for the long post... ofc i dont expect it to go public BUT it does raise some issues..i dont see all of xda forum yet, but every search sofar has yielded results..only areas i find lacking is the rooting devices actually explaining wich root method is being used, its not a necessity,but some root methods leave memory leaks/other bugs wich can be phone specific, ome wich dont do anything atall because they bypass aprotections properly.

IF there is a thread on exploiting, i will join there..someone has to be sharing the exploits,and so they should, but alittle more info could be given to public,i guess not all people care,they just want one-click, well, i care about what i stick in my phone, so flashing a custom rom, kernel to me is a big deal i expect done right once..

i look forward to some feedback on my htc issues.
