Hello (c)ollen!
Do you need the sdk for the Android drivers (for adb)
Or
Just the Motorola drivers?
He is yet to use superoneclick. He tried with z4 and had no success.

Z4 is just for the SGS isnt it?
Anyway, superoneclick is a one button press. Just need the motorola drivers, connect the phone in debug, open SOC and hit root.
Thank you good sir/madam!

i use a defy and the way i rooted mine was just simply downloading superone click, and then the rest is done automatically
if you still feel unsure about that, then just watch a few video tutorials on youtube
just youtube how to root motorola defy,
hope this helps
Im on T-Mobile UK with my Defy and Superoneclick worked perfectly for me. Its also worth going for a different rom as well.
I switched to Cyanogenmod (Quarx not the official) and my phone runs smoother than a babys arse now
I shall let him know. Thanks for the replies. Great community!!

but it couldn't find the phone... says 'make sure usb cable connected'
am using unbranded phone.
Can't you get into recovery at all? (Assuming you used unrevoked you should be able to).
Then I'd do a full wipe/reflash from there.

I full wiped and reflashed at least 3 times, but that didn't fix the broken root
i want someone to help me find the right RUU for my phone
try this one:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe
you need a froyo.
1) Please post in the correct section first [Q&A, not DEV]
2) There's a selection of pre-rooted stock roms available via SEARCH at the top
3) Flash via renaming to update.zip and sticking on the root of your SD card
3a) If fails, name it pb99img.zip and do it via voldown+power
How you lost root rights and delete this directory? I think to you need Froyo release RUU

is it ok to use
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe

hakuna matata... problem solved
The RUU can't find the Device without HTC Sync, and it must be the latest version.

Hello guys, I'm in need of help here.
I had 2.3.3 rooted and working fine, all recommended bloatware + some I removed on my own, and the phone worked like a charm, and the HDMI output worked too.
Now I have 2.3.4 (rooted via .181 flash + OTA). Removed all of the recommended bloatware, + some new which came with the 2.3.4 update...
.. and it seems that my HDMI output doesn't work. Just wanted to play some Tekken 3 on ePSE + sixaxis controller, plugged it in, and both my TV, my monitor, and my second monitor show either "Check Signal Cable" or "Power Saving Mode"..
I tried reinstalling every single bloatware app I removed, and it still doesn't help. Is there something I did wrong? Or maybe there is some 3rd party app for HDMI out?
Help please!
After almost giving up, finally solved my problem.
By some magical way, neither SEMCHdmiControlService or SEMChdmiEnabler were present in my backup folder or in system/app. Had to put it from 2.3.3, and it worked !
Hooray!
I have a question!
Now, I just flashed 184(UK),installed Gingerbreak 1.2 and rooted my arc.
If I wanna have rooted 2.3.4(with unlock boot loader), I must unroot my arc by gingerbreak and do following:
Flash Generic_World(Nordic).181 and start your phone again.
-Plug in your USB-cable to the computer and phone again.
-Make sure USB-debugging is activated in the settings menu.
-Install Gingerbreak 1.2 and press "Root the phone".
-The phone reboots by itself in about 20 seconds after pressing Root.
-After reboot and a long wait, go to settings and install OTA.
-Phone collects firmware OTA and reboots many times.
-Now Its working and you have rooted 2.3.4
It is right?

Download the apps
Does any of these two apps have anythibg to do with CEC function or is just LG's Simplink no good? I can connect and browse the phone, but only if using phone's screen, remote control does not work.
Anybody? Any idea? I am really getting desperate.
I never rooted my phone so cannot help here.
But you messed something up for sure when doing all the operations.
Can somebody post SEMChdmiEnabler.apk
I do not have it in my 2.3.4 update. Also after downloading 91mb of apps from the above link, there is no such app in there. Of course that makes me think 2.3.4 comes without it and it is not needed, but would like to try nevertheless. it cannot hurt.
So please, if nay of you guys have it, can you share it?

Hello world !!!
I've created a project of a new kind : The RecoverX Project
The goal of this project is to gather ALL the recoveries for ALL android devices in ONE tool which install them on the devices. RecoverX is coded in C++ thanks to QtSDK and allow to install a recovery on more than 150 different devices !!!
You just have to select your device and the recovery, click "Install" and RecoverX does the rest !!! It's that simple
This program require different prerequesties, depending of your device
- Wether you need an unlocked bootloader to flash the recovery partition (and fastboot drivers on your PC)
- Wether you need root access and usb debugging activated (if busybox is not installed, RecoverX will ask you the permission to install it).
This program have been published on XDA News : Here
Here is the list of supported devices :
Finally, a small preview
Awesome !!! Where is the download link ???
Here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773227
Wow! Nice! Its original CWM or a based CWM recovery?
It's a based CWM Recovery !!! But still have some minor bugs, that's why it's written "Beta".
How can I acces CWM after installation?
Just tap the screen several time when the SE logo appear.

Go to "settings" > "log" and click on Log. Then, plug your device and run the log and send me a PM with the log.txt file.

Nevermind. I had root but lost it again when reflashing ICS. I'm gonna sell this phone. It is the worst phone I ever bought for hacking such a dissapointment. Thanks for your tool anyways.

Omg, how smart are you? Why didn't I think of that!
Don't use tools, use the proper hacking.
And if you were as good as hacker as you claim you are,
you'd know that's not true what you said. But it's ok.
Sell it. I hope the next owner will appreicate your loss as his/her gain.
Hey if we install CWM as this method just install in our system file. Some ROM cannot accept install with CWM like this . because it will format system partition . we have to use kernel integrated CWM
This tool is just for stock rom for people who can't or who doesn't want to unloc their bootloader.
working on XperiaS lock BL MIUI 2.7.20
Yes, it work on Xperia S but only on stock rom and not on stock rom
EDIT : stock rom
but MIUI is a custom rom
Sorry, I'm tired, the tool is only compatible with stock rom
MIUI is a custom rom but your recovery working on it, testet by me and it is workin great. Offcourse im using stock kernel.
Ok, thanks a lot !!! I prefered to said no because I was not sure about this...

Hello everyone !!!
I've created a new GUI tool for all Xperia devices (included Xperia S as BETA) to install a recovery automatically such as CWM Recovery (as BETA).
Let me present you RecoverX !!!
Here is the list of supported devices for the moment :
Xperia P (beta) (unlocked bootloader) [NEW]
You need to be rooted, busybox installed on your phone and USB Debugging activated. Finally, you need to be on 2.3 Stock ROM

Hi,
This is my first time doing this and I've been doing pretty good until I get to this stage where I got the status 7 error while installing zip file cm-11-20140217-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip. I want to transfer other files (cm-11-20140203-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip) to my phone but when I reboot, the logo still stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S III"...
I am still able to go into PhilZ Touch 6 CWM Base version 6.0.4.5 but I don't really know what to do from there. The files I have currently in my phone are:
DE-SAMSUNGNIZER_KNOX_REMOVAL_SCRIPT_V1.0.zip
UPDATE-SuperSU-V1.93.zip
cm-11-2014-0217-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip
pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20131230-signed.zip
What I did was:
1. Rooted my phone using Odin and verified that my phone was root via RootChecker app.
2. I went to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and chose the option to "Clean to Install a New ROM".
3. Then I received the error Status 7 message
4. Reboot and it also said "Root access is missing. Root device?" then either option (yes or no), still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S III.
My phone is Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III 4.4.2, SPH-L710 and I followed the instruction from this website: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2596697
Your assistance is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I did find that website but the problem is I can't transfer the modified zip to my phone since it's stuck on the logo. I don't have external SD card.. I only have internal storage. Is there any other way? perhaps installing stock rom via Odin? I'm not sure which download link is safe for my phone... Thanks.
