I am attempting my second root, I just did my Eris which made it amazing. I am now working on rooting my girlfriends Evo. This has been a little more challenging. Her radio version is 2.15.00.09.01, every post online has been prior to this version and fails to root. Does anyone have any help for my situation. My main goal is to flash her phone with Cyanogenmod.

WTF????
I just did a flash of Cyanogenmod9 (Domination) and im getting full bars, but I cant do google searches, or access the gps. Clearly im there is something wrong with my connection. When I look at my settings I see full bars, but beside it it says "No internet connection".... very puzzling. The wifi does work perfectly though.

I think Clockworkmod got deleted when I flashed the operating system. So I can't install it without gapps and I need my apps!

View 1 Replies View RelatedLast week, I flashed my LG Nexus 4 (16GB) phone with stock Android 4.4 (Official Image), before that I was on CyanogenMod 10.1.3 Stable.
Now, for some reason I didn't like the stock 4.4 and tried to Flash back my CyanogenMod 10.1.3 from CWM "Install ZIP" but the problem I'm facing is that it CyanogenMod doesn't boot, hangs on "Spiral Splash Screen". Then I tried Flashing CM 10.0 stable, still loops into boot forever and at times boots (after 15-20 minutes of booting on spiral splash screen) and doesn't recognise SIM card, Camera, Storage, WIFI or anything.
Then after getting fed up with this I tried flashing MIUI V5. This also takes a 15-20 to boot and fails to recognise - SIM, WiFi, Camera etc.
So lastly like a loser I flashed back my Android 4.4 it works fine.
I've my boot-loader in unlocked state.
and Yes before flashing CM or MIUI, I did - wipe data/factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache from CWM Recovery.
So I want to get back into CyanogenMod 10.1 stable.
My current GS3 apparently had water damage, and a new one is coming from the insurance tomorrow. I figured that since the warranty is up and the insurance won't replace it again, I may as well finally root and flash a custom rom. From my poking around the internet, I like CyanogenMod 10.1. I am on AT&T.
I've only attempted a root once before with this current phone, which I think worked, but I abandoned the project months ago and don't remember. In any case, besides that, I've never rooted or flashed a rom before.
After further poking around on the internet, these are the sources I'm planning on using to successfully root and rom:
Rooting: How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S3 " XDA Developer TV " xda-developers
And for the ROM, I'm going to follow this video:
I understand that after rooting, I have to create a backup (using that Titan Backup app in the video I think?" and i am going to use Goo Manager to download the ROM and gapps. I saw another video that had me move files from the computer to my phone, but they didn't do any backing up, and apparently that's necessary.
What does it mean to "trip a flash counter"? And what is a toolkit, and do I need it?
Now my phone is rooted, engineering boot ROM, with Cyanogenmod installed.
I'm wondering from a security standpoint, if someone happens to take my phone, and I happen to forget to disable USB Debugging, how can I make it harder to use ADB to reformat the phone?
By default, an ADB shell gives root access to the phone. How can you set the ADB shell to default to an unprivileged user that will have to 'su' in order to gain root access?
I've been trying to go back to barebone 2.1. Im running 2.1 but have themes installed. I ran the fab theme killer and still have aspects of the last theme stil hanging out like the themed facebook and themed power control widgets. I tried to sbf flash it and failed.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI decided to go ahead and flash back to 2.1. Now all my phone does is go back and forth from "Droid" to the eye over and over again. I have to pull the battery to stop it. The flash process seemed to go smoothly until the phone booted up. RSDLite had said to manually start the phone, but it had already booted on its own.

I was thinking of taking my phone to HTC to show an LED burnin problem, and tried to unroot by flashing the RUU for Asia_India: RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_India_1.21.720.4_Radio_32.36.00 .28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_127705_signed. I thought that was the correct RUU.
I booted my phone in Fastboot, applied the RUU, and it rebooted my phone into RUU. Then it flashed an error message saying the RUU version was incorrect. Being the idiot that I am, I rebooted the phone..And got stuck!
The phone does not boot. On pressing Vol- and Power button, it vibrates, and then nothing. Screen is blank. It wont boot into Fastboot, Recovery or the ROM. If I connect it to USB and do the Vol- and Poweron, it detects my device as an Android 1.0 device.
I have tried the following:
1. Went to Android SDK, tried flashing Clockworkmod recovery image with the command:
Code:........
Well i flashed befor and my son was playing with my phone and he let the verison patch come on top of my rooted phone.. well i still have super user but it will not let me do anything stop all of my wifi tether ect. ok well i go to re flash my phone and now it will not let me flash it. It just stops at the start.
The error code i get is (0x7100)
My phone is dead after I flash a wrong preloader my phone model is alps GT-I9500 mtk6572 . I try with ALL ROM on needrom.com with keyworld "alps" "GT-I9500" "mtk6572" ... about 20 ROM but I get Enable DRAM FAILED for each try
Use case :
1- Disconnet the battery and wait 10 seconds
2- Open flash tools with the scatter file
3- Connect the phone usb cable to pc
4- Plug the batterie on the phone
==> MTK USB PORT (COM XX) ok : drivers on the pc seems to be ok
5- On flash tools press download
every time I get BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)
[EMI] Enable DRAM fail
on the web they say the cause is the wrong ROM but I don't know (I try over than 20 ROM)
mybackup restored the icons where my apps used to be but they won't download from the market. It just says starting download but never starts.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to root my wife's HTC Rhyme and in my efforts, something hosed the WiFi. All I get is "ERROR" under WiFi in the wireless network settings menu. This happened to me once or twice on my incredible and a kernel re-flash fixed it. I really want to root it so that she can have the benefit of being able to completely backup everything. I've tried ZergRush, TocoRoot, SuperTool, OneClick, SuperOneClick... none of it worked. The only thing that I've been able to do successfully is unlock/re-lock the bootloader.
Is it possible to extract the ROM and/or all critical system files from a stock rooted phone and use them to restore another phone that is malfunctioning?
I decided to manually root my phone, initially I had a device come up and everything was really smooth until step 15
1: Code: cd C:android-sdk-windows ools
2: Code:adb devices
If you've been following this guide you will see your phone's serial number. If you get "device not found" error, you either need to make sure you the drivers were properly installed or make sure you enable USB debugging AFTER you connect the USB cable. Continue on once you get the proper phone serial output.
3: Code:adb push asroot2 /data/local/
4: Code:adb shell
5: Code:chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2
6: Code:/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh You should see an output that says: $ /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh [+] Using newer pope_inode_info layout
Opening: /proc/857/fd/3
SUCCESS: Enjoy the shell.
#Now for a few last commands.
7: Code:mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
8: Code:cd /system/bin
9: Code:cat sh > su
10: Code:chmod 4755 su
You are now officially rooted. A few more steps and you will have flashed the recovery image.
11: Code:exit
12: Code:exit
13: Code:adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard Pushing is equivalent of copy the file to the root of your sdcard. By the time you finished reading this it should be done. You'll know its done because the ouput will say something like transferred X bytes in X secs.
14: Code:adb shell reboot This will cause the phone to restart automatically. Wait till it is fully booted to continue.
15: Code:adb shell Now I receive the following Error: error: device not found
I tried to reboot the phone but there was not change.
I tried the following
C:android-sdk-windows ools>adb kill-server
C:android-sdk-windows ools>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
I was hoping to get my original device listed, but I still have nothing.
I have rooted my phone and have now the recovery mode from HD blog. It's was working fine. So I tried to get the Galaxhero ROM installed. I did the following steps:
1) Reboot in recovery mode (Volume down + both Call buttons) and choose "Nandroid backup" to save a backup of your current ROM just in case.
2) Backup G apps
3) Then, choose "Wipe data/factory reset". The phone will reboot in recovery mode again.
4) Choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip" (second menu entry on the recovery screen)
5) Restore Google applications ("Restore G.Apps")
6) "Enable root (su)".
But then enable root failed! Anyway I went on further with reboot system. It rebooted till the "android HD logo" showed up and then suddenly the screen went off and it seemed like my phone went off. So I went back to the recovery mode and did the following steps:
Wipe data
Restore backup
Restore G apps
Enable root SU, but again enable su failed!!
Again I choose reboot system, and when the reboot came again to the "android HD logo". It stuck there and stayed looping.
First, why do I still see the android HD logo again because I did a wipe!
Second, How can I get my phone working again!
I had my phone rooted and I accidentally hit volume down and power instead of volume up and power (I was going to flash a new ROM). I was asked to press action and update like I did the first time I rooted but after it was finished I tried to go and flash a ROM it just brought me to a screen with an android robot and a triangle with an exclamation point. What I need to know is do I need to re-root and if not what do I need to do?

View 3 Replies View RelatedNow that the mempodroid hack based on the memory leak discovered by Aedla has been blocked (since about kernel 2.6.42, and android 4.0.3), are there any remaining ways of getting root access without re-flashing the bootloader?

Or is there any way to downgrade the kernel without root access?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was rooted fine with unrevoked forever. I wanted to try a ROM than required me to install the newest version of hboot so I did that. Well I didn't like that ROM so I tried to flash a nandroid restore but it didn't take. So I reinstalled the pc36img that I used when I rooted my phone. Then I rebooted my phone. Now it booted like its not rooted! I don't have superuser app and when I try to reboot into recovery I get a red triangle over a phone.
When I boot into hboot it says I have s-off but I have no idea how to get my phone back to the way it was. Under system info it says I have firmware version 2.1-update1 but I try to look for a froyo update and it says there are none available. I was going to just unroot with the s-on tool but that requires going into recovery which I can't do. What do I do toget my root back!
just I want to know is it possible to flash recovery IMG without root access ?

[APP] [ROOT] 1-click root for N1 (Latest ver: 1.6.2 beta 5) - xda-developers
and it said it was successfully rooted. I can execute su from adb shell (and the phone pops up saying that unknown has been granted superuser). But I don't have flash_image in /system/bin so I can't flash a recovery image, and I tried the instructions in the link in this post:
What am I doing wrong: BootLoader/Flash_Image/Recovery Image (basically download the flash_image, mount system as rw, and push it in to /system/bin) but it still doesn't work. The mount seems to work (doesn't give any error messages) but the adb push command gives: failed to copy 'flash_image' to '/system/bin/flash_image': Permission denied
Does anyone know if one needs to overwrite the recovery flash in order to get root? What if I don't want to flash new roms but I would like to remove the extras that are put on my phone.
