Looks interesting. :good:
Do I need to perform a fresh backup of my device before proceeding, or is it simply a case of running your app and then 'hey presto' it's done, i.e. nothing is removed from SD, etc.?

Everything should be stock - Rom and Recovery for Universal Exploit to work.

Ok, so I ran the tool choosing 'Universal Exploit' and 'Flash HBOOT Image' and it all goes swimmingly until the device reboots. I get taken to the phone+red triangle warning screen and a 'cannot find file' error pops up (see attached image file).
Any ideas? Device is defo set to USB Debugging mode. Was plugged in as 'Charge Only' - should this suffice? Or should it be connected via HTC Sync or something else?
Cheers for any help OP.
P.S. Was able to reboot 'phone fine, so nothing bad has happened

Hi mate do a google search and download and install visual basic power pack. I'll remove this depandancy in the next update. The app should then work fine.

OK, so I tried your app again but this time didn't bother with Flash HBOOT Image and everything appeared to go OK.
However, I noticed in the log that 3 of the files (Busybox, su and Superuser.apk) had failed to copy across (out of memory?), despite the operation apparently having been completed (see attached jpg).
Also, when the device had rebooted, I tried to use the Application Status Bar and received the following error message:
"application Status Bar (process com.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The above message also contained a 'Force Close' button which on pressing obviously disables the Status Bar.
The device is still working, other than this error, but I'm not seeing any change to root capability - guessing it's because Busybox, su and Superuser failed to copy across? Could I just copy them on to the device manually?
Cheers in advance for any info.
Free up some memory on your device and be sure to delete everything in /data/local/tmp also. I will add error checking for the out of memory error in next release.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
Unfortunately, after doing the above, running the app is still giving the same error and the Application Status Bar is also still giving the same error.
To make doubly sure, I backed up my device and restored it to Factory Settings (which cured the original app Status Bar error). This also meant that all data was erased from the device so memory shouldn't be an issue. However, as said above, the app is still returning the same memory error?
I'm happy to keep giving this a go so let me know your thoughts.
Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of it.

It's not fake and as a recognised developer in the xda community I can safely say there is no possible way my app can brick your device unless you flash an incorrect hboot which then is your own fault and risk!

Don't worry, chap, I don't think there's anything fake about what you're trying with this app. Unlike the person above who claimed you were. I mean, £500 to un-brick a Wildfire S?!?! You could probably buy 4 of them brand new for that amount of cash!
Is it worth me giving your updated version of the app another go? If the app finds an error with HTC patching the exploit will the app simply terminate and return my device to its original state?
Any info greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Yes its fine the command will report permission denied to the app if the exploit is patched so the app will inform you.

I need to figure out why the files will not push to the device. It looks like temp root is achieved which is half the battle. At least you know the exploit works on your device. I'll look into the out of memory error.

Hi
I need to solve this real quick.
I'm using Desire with stock 2.2 and wanna root it with unrevoked 3 and here's what happened.
After I put my device to USB debugging mode, ticked at install from unknown sources, USB charge only mode and run the latest unrevoked 3 as administrator (also disabled the Kaspersky). It went well and I got stuck at HBOOT so I installed the HBOOT Driver from unrevoked website and it then continued the process. But I got an error after rebooting. It says "is your firmware too new?" Then I thought that I once did the force everything to SD, so I opened up the command and setInstallLocation 0 instead of 2. Then run the unrevoked again but it still says the same. So I went through threads, some users reported that their device has too few internal space, mine is not but I, anyway, uninstalled a couple of apps and have about 30MB left (from about 17MB) then run it again. But it still says the same.
What should I do?
This is the info about my device:
Bravo PVT1 S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
Radio 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
I've posted before in the wrong section but there was a reply said "The solution is to clear storage/factory reset and it will work. This failure belongs to any app or you can uninstall any app that you are using." Is that means there is an app obstructing the device from being rooted? I rather don't want to factory reset because I want to make a Titanium backup all apps + app's data before installing the new ROM.
If more infos needed, please ask it right away and many thanks in advance.

Dude, believe me its about an app that you can't get root access
nobody will have a solution for that, you have to clear storage.
Or uninstall each and every app and try to root.

Gosh. OK I believe you. I just don't want to shoot those red birds all over again from stage 1 or try to jump higher and higher to get a high score (if you know what I mean)
OK summarize this thing: I've to factory reset. All I can do is backup my SMS, apps (no data) to my SD with an app from the Market like appmonster. Right?

I'm now ROOTED.
This morning after I had breakfast, I opened the app 'appSaver' and clicked at uninstall tab and I found something that I believe it came from unrevoked because it had unrevoked's icon but the name was something starting with 'Z' I can't remember. So I uninstalled it and I think this will be the last time trying to root or I'll factory reset. And it worked.
I went flawlessly through the process and got my Desire rooted (with latest unrevoked).
Thanks everyone!

Precisly what happened to me, refused to root the 1st time until I read this and removed Zysploit, then ran it again and BINGO!!
Thanks all
Removing Zysploit did the trick !!!
Superb!!
Just ran a successfull root with unrevoked again as the first try failed.
Removing Zysploit and restarting unrevoked did the trick. YESS!!!!
Would have never found that one if not pointed to using this thread and was close to an unnecessary factory-reset... (phew!).
Bas.
Ive found with some desire devices after u uninstall htc sync and install hboot drivers..reinstall htc sync then run unrevoked3 and viola!! S-off

Move Zysploit app from SD to internal
This should work if you have SD card as your default install location (probably by earlier "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2" command), so Zysploit is stored on your SD card, but deletion of this app doesn't work.
1) Move Zysploit from SD card to internal memory and try to root again.
2) If that fails, try to root once more.
3) If that fails too, delete Zysploit's data only (not the app) and try to root again.
(And if for some reason that fails too, try again step 2 or 3...)
Worked for me
I have an EVO on the Fresh 4.2.0.0, on the 2.3.3 android system, S-OFF, but I have error messages that says I'm not rooted. My superuser keeps force closing and I have no idea what to do. I also get the same error message.
Even for me the latest version of Unrevoked gave the error: your firmware is too new. I had to use Unrevoked v3.21 to accomplish the task.
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is some easy way to take screenshots.
Other Samsung devices have a shortcut for this: http://opensourcehacker.com/2011/02...g-galaxy-s-and-other-samsung-android-devices/
The Glide seems not to have.
So is there any other way? E.g. by defining some app in "Settings > Applications > Quick launch" ?
Or is "Screenshot" an app, removed in OsiMood-Rom?
I use the 'Home + Power key' combo to take screenshots. No special apps installed. Screenshots are saved in the 'ScreenCapture' folder.
mhh ok... my glide seems to recognize this home+power shortcut but it throws me an error:
The application com.sec.android.app.screencapture has stopped unexpectedly
:-/
Sorry for your trouble. I've soft-bricked my phone several times tooling with apps I shouldn't have and such, and I am rooted on the Craniam OC Kernel and the stock rooted ROM, but I've never had issues with screen capture working. I don't know how extensive your mods are, but is it possible some app manager is freezing some component of the system that screen capture needs? Shot in the dark but I hope you get answers.

if you have OsiMood or INC3PTION, you wont be able to use the HOME + POWER for screenshots for it is considered to be a bloatware so removed....you can search the Glide forums for the screenshot.apk found in stock ROM.
Errrr....just take the attached file and put it in /system/app
^^^^^
Thanks and any precautions like say giving permissions while placing in that folder??? Thanks again...
UPDATE:-
Done and is working perfectly... Thanks... Just use the "mount RW" option when copying that attached file to /system/app folder... No need to change the permissions.... Thanks a lot again...

Oh yeah sorry, forgot to metion that you need system to be writable (RW). About permissions, just give it full (rwxrwxrwx), Android will change and give it the right permissions after a reboot....

So, I heard some while a go that it is possible to have flash in GIO. Me being a totally helpless with tech I asked my friend of a friend of a friends cousin to ROOT my phone. Well that went smoothly, I did not get flash on my mobile´s websites but instead I can´t connect my Gio to PC via USB... NUTS!
And "the Friend" can´t help me no longer...
So here are the problems, I can´t connect to PC, no matter what. Tried de-buggin, un-installed drivers <-> installed drivers. Nothing...
Also I have that app I don´t really want ( or do I?), called SuperSU which is´nt working, says something about "binary needs to update -> Fail". How the h*ll i´m gonna get rid of that? Is that app that lost my USB-connection? Did I do it?
So could some one please tell me, 1) How to remove SuperSU-app or how to fix it (I you think that I should have it). 2) Any ideas how to solve USB-issue. 3) If I need to install any app´s, softwares and so on, links would be great. Working ones...
Here´s some specs from my phone, GT-S5660, Android ver. 2.3.6, "somethingsomething" S5660XXKT6, Core(?) 2.6.35.7-perf-CL1006648, "mumbojumbo" GIGERBREAD.XXKTI. SuperSU v0.98
Ask for more information if you need it, i´ll try to explain the best I can, english is´nt my language. Me no enklish, me finnish.
... Is it possible to have flash on GIO?
superSU is the app that gives away root acces to apps and to the system.
you need to use wifi or 3G and update the binairy
for usb, make sure you fully disabled Kies and killed it with the task manager

Thanks for reply. SuperSU won´t update, not on wifi or 3G. Just says "update failed".
I have deleted Kies from laptop, cleaned registry, even removed all usb-drivers then restarted laptop(did that with WIN7 an XP-PRO), yell´ed at my neighbours and blamed the cat.
Still no connection, I can connect NOKIA with usb-cable, the cable recharges my Gio but no luck with connecting... I quess that damn thing is broken.
I´ll focus now on removing that superSU, which will be a weeks job at my skills...
Thanks anyway.

Just tried that one, correct me if I´m wrong but unrooting is done by using unroot.zip (the one for superSU)? because that did´nt do the trick. For now I have done unroot.zip, wipe all data from phone (to factory re-set or whatcamacallit), boot-> voilá, theres that superSu still, version 0,98 if I recall.
I know that the bigges problem is in front my laptop´s screen, AKA my face, but as I earlier stated, me no computers.
I wish someone would make an app that removes all of these root-thingies and gives you a free nokia 3310
Thanks for reply, I won´t give up. There must be a simple answer for this. I just have to find it, or someone gives it me... Latter the better.
Ooh ooh, FYI, now I have these two app´s in my phone. SuperSU and Superuser, should I just quit fidling with my phone
...and now when I connect my phone to laptop, win7 gives every 3 sec. a message that one of the USB-hardwares is in errormode or something (I´m bad at traslating), it sounds like a intro of a Skrillex-song...

Yep, if you mean flash´ing is done by the the method of power+"that large button at bottom of my phone" and install update->unroot.zip then yes, app won´t go. Do I have a wrong file? Are those files spesific to a certain app? The trick is to get two superuser-apps is klick+klick+yes+fustration+install+hope+i don´t know. If I could I would give you better info... You mean that SuperSU (the one with cyan droid with red cape) and Superuser (the one with green droid and a eyepatch) shouldnt exist in a same phone? This is going straight to the twilightzone.
If you are confused, quess how I feel:laugh:
And either of them won´t update binary...
Oh, and yes, no ( ) I can´t uninstall either of those app, well from phone´s uninstall-section, butt that do´snt uninstall these apps for good... They are still there when I go to settings+apps+manage apps+all-> there they are.

Root checker basic says Sorry! This device does not have proper root acces.
Got root says "Successfully located ´su´(superuser) on the device. Failed to obtain root privileges through ´su´.
Honestly, I don´t know is my phone rooted or not

may be your root access was lost, try to root the phone again.
Ya, unrooting and rooting again would work.
I had a similar problem after a factory reset.
maybe something wrong with your device. not in the OS. CMIIW

i don't think it related with hardware, root is related with software (OS).
Right, here´s where I´m at. Now my phone IS rooted, it also have android 4.0.4 and CyanogenMod9 :laugh:
Done some fidling you see...
But still no connection via usb, I´m starting to think that it is a hardware-related problem. It does charge my phone, but no connection for file transfer.
So for now I will be happy for these settings.
Just need to get the a2sdgui working propely, can´t move apps from phone to sd.
Thanks for all of you´s for help :angel:

maybe its more a pc-related problem too, reinstall drivers and make sure KIES is not running(deinstall it) and try on other pc's too.
have look at this for Apps 2 sd on ICS

I think there's no problem with a rooted phone. You just need to do some homework before you started at it. Let me help you by explaining you some words and some help.
Root: when you root your phone you are able to flash roms on your phone.
Recovery mode: the menu that you get when you touch the on button + the OK button.
Flashing: installing a rom.
Rom: a kind of system on your phone. After rooting you can put these on your phone like iOS or
ICS.
When you are rooting your phone, you need a new recovery mode: Clockwork mode recovery. You can install this as the same way like flashing a rom. After that you can apply the update.zip package. Now your phone us rooted and when you reboot your phone you have a new app: SuperSU (or superuser) This app gives apps permission to other apps. Now you are able to flash any rom you want. Just google on: roms for /thenameofyourphone/ and you get enough results. Some roms are really great and are smooth and have a nice theme like android 4.1 or ios. Just download the rom. Put it on yor sd card. Go into recovery mode (clockwork mode recovery). Backup current rom, do a factory reset, wipe cache and install the rom. After flashing you must reboot your phone and ENJOY!
You can also download link2sd which allows you to move ALL you apps to your sd card. By the way. When you have rooted your phone it isn't bad but you have to read very much and after a while you will understand everything and you will enjoy your favourite rom.

And by the most roms you are also able to connect your phone to your pc so the problem is solved

hotkeys?
Hi all, i got this old phone (Samsung GT-S5560) with a phonelock on it. The question is how do i do a hard reset with the buttons or how do i get the recovery mode with the buttons? I cant find it on the net.....
Hello All,
Been using XDA ever since my switch to Android, almost a year ago. For the most part I never had to write because all questions seem to be addressed with a bit of searching.
With that said, I just updated my Note 3 to KitKat using this amazing guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393, worked flawlessly - no hassles.
On to my problem. While on 4.3, I flashed a mod that changes the one-handed operation mode from blue to black. After playing with KitKat for no longer than 6 minutes, I got annoyed with the stock blue background, and in my infinite wisdom decided to flash the Mod to change it to black again.
To make a long story, it goes into one handed operation mode, it is black the way I like it (because I use this stupid function so damn much), but it doesn't respond properly at the upper and lower portions of the reduced size screen.
Any ideas on how to revert back to stock? Or better yet, is there a Mod that actually works with KitKat?
Thank you in advance!
edit: Sorry, just realized this was posted to the wrong forum.
factory reset
Factory reset won't help, here's Easy one hand taken from XNote. I believe that it'll work.
Just push it into the system with the correct permissions.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yg5mfhiwaunpncm/EasyOneHand.apk
Thank you for your help, unfortunately it didn't work. I downloaded the APK, made sure "Unknown Sources" was checked. After attempting to install, I get a message saying "X App not installed".

I'm guessing that your rooted. Uninstall the Easyonehand.apk using titanium backup then use a root explorer and copy the file into system -> app then change the permissions then reboot.

Awesome... this worked perfectly! Thank you for your help... and I got the black background too
Is anyone else getting a constant "permissions pop-up" that states something along the lines of 'blah blah controls phone dialing' then it gives you the 15 second choice of denying the app or allowing it (with the option of never showing that message again....which doesn't work). It comes up every 5 seconds and is making the phone a joke to use. There was a fix for the ZenFone 5 and I was wondering if there is one for the the 2 as well.

It happens with whatsapp, Facebook, Asus help (which can't be deleted). Earliest record of someone expressing this same issue was over a month ago. I was hoping there had been a fix that may help me.
Sorry, can't help as I haven't experienced this issue.
Maybe someone else out there who hasn't read/responded yet....
If you are rooted you could try the 'fix permissions' app available on playstore.
No guarantees it will work as i have not used it on this device. It had worked well for me on other devices.

You can uninstall system apps with titanium backup also if your phone is rooted

This is interesting! I'll look into this throughout the weekend and post back if I have any success!
Same issue & really annoying.
Hi guys I think here is the issue is described in asus forums zentalk ( i cant post links yet) search for "Permission popup every second"
Apparently a firmware upgrade will fix it
Firmware download WW_2.15.40.13 and above should fix it.
But i have tried to copy the new firmware to the root directory but its not picking it up .
Very frustrating for what looks to be a good phone !

You can flash the firmware yourself with ADB though most img files are rooted...
How we do that?
