Dear mods: I know this is not the correct thread for this phone. Please create a new subforum for this great phone and move all T328W threads into it. They are all over the place (from One V to Desire, etc.). Thanks.
!!I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE!!
Phone 1:
Kernel: 3.0.16
Baseband: 1.04.34D.11_20.11.30.11U
Build number: 1.35.1402.1
Browser: 534.30
Phone 2:
Kernel: 3.0.16
Baseband: 1.06.34D
Build number: 1.56.1402.6
Browser: 534.30
The zip file containing all needed files can be found at mediafire . c o m / ?783kthx72x3uf5d .
I could not attach the zip file (I get a page not found) and am not allowed to post outside links yet.
Bootloader unlocking
1. Let’s change the language to English first so we understand the phone better. Open the apps menu and go to the Settings icon (the cogwheel icon). Scroll down to the setting with the “A” icon. Click the first item in the list and choose English.
2. Go to htcdev . c o m, create an account and click the Unlock bootloader icon. After logging in, choose “All Other Supported Models” from the list and click the Begin Unlock Boatloader button. Accept that you may lose any guarantee and continue to follow the instructions.
3. To enter bootloader mode, make sure the phone is off (or remove the battery for a few seconds). Then hold Volume Down and start pressing the Power button – without any USB cable. Use the up and down buttons to select “Fastboot” and select it using the Power button. Now connect your USB cable and continue following the HTC instructions.
4. All the files you need are in the zip you can get above. I also installed the HTC Sync program which installs the drivers. Using the command prompt you can simply navigate to the extracted files and run the fastboot command. (Use the command “cd C:/myextractedzip” to change to a directory).
5. Save the Unlock_Code.bin attachment which you get from HTC by Email into the same extracted zip folder and run the next command. You now have an unlocked bootloader and the phone will start up and an HTC wizard will appear where you can choose the English language again.
Flashing clockworkmod
1. Remove any USB cables and boot again into the bootloader mode. Click Fastboot and reconnect your USB cable. Now run the following command on your computer: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img . This flashes the clockworkmod recovery image onto the phone.
2. Switch off your phone. Make sure your USB cable is removed.
3. Now copy the “app” folder from the zip onto a micro-sd card. Also copy the “CWM-SuperSU-v0.92.zip” and “rootexplorer_2.16.apk” onto the micro-sd card.
4. Insert the micro-sd card into the phone and boot into boatloader mode again.
5. Now choose the recovery option instead of fastboot and wait for clockworkmod recovery to appear.
Rooting the phone
1. In clockworkmod recovery, choose install zip from sdcard
2. Choose “choose zip from sdcard” and choose “CWM-SuperSU…zip”
3. Scroll down to “Yes – Install CWM-SuperSu” and wait. Now go back and reboot the phone normally.
Installing Google Apps
1. Using the included file manager on the phone, click on “rootexplorer.apk” and install it. When launching root explorer, make sure you grant it superuser permissions.
2. Go click the “sdcard” folder and press and hold the “app” folder that you copied from the zip file. Click “copy” and then navigate to /system . Press “Mount R/W”. And then click “Paste”. Choose Yes to overwrite. Exit root explorer.
3. Now we need to fix the permissions. The easiest way is if you enable USB Debugging mode from the “Developer Options” settings. Make sure you connect your USB cable.
4. Open a command prompt to our extracted zip folder and type “adb shell”. Press enter and you should see “[email protected]:/ $”. Run “su”. Run “cd /system/app”.
5. Now to fix all permissions, run “chmod 644 *.apk” and then run “chown root.root *.apk” .
6. Now run “reboot” to reboot your phone.
Removing bloatware apps
1. Thanks to dark_hawk from xda-developers, we have a list of system apps/bloatware that are save to remove. You can easily do this from the root explorer app. Go to /system/app and hold each item you want to delete. Then click delete. You can also remove each app’s odex file.
The list:
116114.apk
2254_HTCCU_WO3G_SIE.apk
DoubanFM.apk
DreyeCHSPkg40.apk
HTCCN_FileManager.apk
HTC_Widget_Renren.apk
HTC_Widget_Sina_Weibo.apk

SohuNews.apk
VDisk.apk
Weibo.apk
eMoney.apk
mapbar.apk
renren.apk
unicomclient_HTCT328W.apk
vegetable.apk
wefound.apk
2. Then run “reboot” to reboot your phone.
3. After the reboot you might still find some Chinese language apps. These can be removed with an app from the Play Store such as Root Uninstaller.

If you have any problems, please post below and I will answer and/or update this post.
followed your guide and managed to install the google apps, including Play Market.
Big thanks!
By the way, did you try to install a newer version of android/ ROM?
Hi
Thanks for the instructions. I have installed the update successfully.
Although installing the market initially failed. Before that the phone booted.
After applying the google aps bit the phone didn't startup again it hang at the 'HTC quitly brilliant' screen.
Although after first reinstalling the RUU and after that doing this procedure again it worked. I'm new to Android I can follow instructions although I'm clouless of what I'am actually doing.
I have a few problems though:
1.
After installing however I have a problem that google play now sais that I can't install runkeeper because my phone isn't compatible.
I was able to install this program before on this phone. Anyone a clue on that?
2.
Also I have a problem that if I wan't to apply a system update of android from the about screen it will error with "assert failed: getprop("ro:cid") == "00000000"
Anyone a sollution for that specific for this phone?
3.
Also I have a problem with this phone that my 3G internet is working strangly. I hoped to solve this with installing a newer version.
Some applications are always working like play store, facebook, friendcaster. Youtube app works ok when browsing videos, although can't play.
Whatsapp only seems to work a few minutes after the 3G connection is set up. And internet browsing doesn't work at all. I tried opera and firefox.
With WIFI all is good and then it is a wonderfull phone.
I get good download speeds when I install a program from google play.
Although I would love to have a stable whatsapp and browsing capabilities while i'm away from wifi. Anyone familliar with this problem?
I was hoping to adress the internet issue by updating ICS, although like stated this also fails.
Many thanks ina advance for your help!
Hi
following your instruction I just updated 3 pcs of HTC Build number: 1.56.1402.6. All done, all OK. One think that voice search is not working on phone dialpad, I have to remove it and install voice search from the market - now in apps like maps, phone search working fine. Till now I didn't find any else problem
Thanks very much. BR Kris

Hello guy,
I received this morning this phone from Etotalk.
I bought also from them their preinstalled services including multilangiage OS and unlocking and rooting services (I know how to root but 'cause price was so low....).
However I received the phone...but...:
1. Only English & China language installed
2. Wlan & btooth doesn't work
When I switch on the WLAN appears error message. And remains 'Turning WLAN on'. Also Btooth doesn't switch on
So I am asking myself if this is related to the root process or somewhat else or is an hardware problem ??
I want to flash again a new rom but I don't know where to retrive an ICS rom with italian language....
I opened also a dispute in Paypal.......
Is it possible that all is related to a software problem and not an hardware problem ?
Please let me know, if you can....
Regards

2. Then run “reboot” to reboot your phone.
3. After the reboot you might still find some Chinese language apps. These can be removed with an app from the Play Store such as Root Uninstaller.

Hi
because there is new update from HTC available, 1.71.1402.1 I have question, how can I install this patch? because now I can't install on the cracked one.
PS.
on the second device (updated to 1.71.1402.1 before this crack) instruction working aswell
HTC Wind
So I purchased this phone from eBay, it came "unlocked" and I am able to use it in Canada easily. No problems with Google Apps, english, etc.
I don't know if this is a rooted unlock or a hardware carrier unlock.
So, with HTC now telling me there are system updates available, I don't know whether installing them will lock the phone up if it's been rooted. I've written the seller a few times and despite very many positive reviews, I have no answer to this question. So I'm posting here.
I have:
Android 4.0.3
HTC Sense v. 4
Software 1.60.707.5
HTC SDK API level 4.2
HTCEtension_403_1_GA_8
kernel
3.0 16-g320e2d4-dirty
[email protected] #1
PREEMPT
baseband
1.05.34D.29_20.21.30.23U
build number
1.60.707.5 CL69250 release-keys
browser version
WebKit/534.30
Any help here would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

As your baseband matches the build number it would suggest that you have an original Asia version. You should be able to use the OTA update without problems. If when you run the update it says something about "HTC has detected that the software is not original" then you probably have a Chinese model that has Asia firmware on it.
Unable to stay login to HTCDev
I recently got a Desire V and wants to root it.
Not sure if any of you faces this problem..I have registered at HTCDev and followed the instruction to click on the email link to complete registration. However each time when I successfully log in, I am being thrown out and I need to re-login. Sometimes I am able to succesfully log in to the bootloader section and then am able to select the model and go through the legal notification. But after that Im always thrown out.
Is anyone facing this? I have registered for another id and its the same thing.
Need a HUGE favor...is it possible for someone who has registered successfully and unlocked their bootloader to lend me their userid?? Desperately trying to root this phone. Thanks.
Hello, it seems that the link for the files does not work anymore. Would somebody able to share these files ?

We try ROOT through this process and believe that you can try too. So I do not have these devices, and you must read a lot before making a decision. Before any procedure must have stock ROM or at least a backup of it.

What system you are using Win XP/Vista/7/8?
I'll pass the correct procedures to install the drivers:
On the computer:
Go to the Drivers folder and run "InstallDriver" (for the file I'm sending you).
On your device:
Connect the device to your computer, go to Settings, Options programmer, Activate and check "USB Debugging" and press OK.
On your computer:
1 - Go to device manager, click on unknown device or wrongly recognized (MT65XX Preloader);
2 - MT65XX Preloader updating drivers, click browse for driver software on this computer;
3 - Type of Device, click Show All, and then click Have Disk and browse to the folder "Driver\ADB" and select the file [android_winusb.inf];
See this image for [android_winusb.inf]:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38864558
4 - Select Android Composite ADB Interface;
5 - If message appears, requesting confirmation to install, confirm, appear to Windows Security box, asking if you want to install Google Inc, Select Always Trust and install;
6 - Now just do the procedure in SPFT to put only the recovery (CWMv6).
Remember that with Win7 installations should always be run as administrator!
Check this with @tanmay5 in mmxA110 #38 ------->>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167244&page=4
For Win8 disable UAC:
3. open control panel in win8 the metro you one not classic one. I think u all might be knowing how to go there.
There click on general tab then click - advanced startup n press restart.
then go to troubleshoot option in press option 7 i.e disable driver signature. Thats the most Important step.
4. your pc will get restarted null enter in the in that option.
5. your UAC (User Account Control) must be enabled atleast to the recommended level/2nd one from the top.

I first installed ADB, then I ran the root script and voila my BLU DASH 4.0 was rooted... took me a while to find this out.. searched everywhere for the correct adb driver...

You're writing in the wrong place. Furthermore, the update should be placed with the original recovery. If you have a BLU VIVO 4.3, then you should not fear anything. So many people make the direct download to phone. This is wrong!
First on the PC and then put the sdcard. It may be that the file you downloaded came with errors.
If you have CWMv6 and backup, is back to normal. If not, try again another update file. If not, put JB version 6 in forum [TUT] HOW TO INSTALL ROM 4.1.1 JB - BLU VIVO 4.3 D910i. Read all the posts and see how to put the JB version 7.
Do not write here again on other matters, that is not the issue ROOT!

This is How I fixed mine..
I search several forum and and no one has the complete tutorial on how to use adb..
so I created my own step by step tutorial on how I did it just in case I need it again or someone needs it...
I hope this fixed yours as well..
Download ADB here: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
1. extract the file you just download
2. put it in C: (so you can access it easily)
3. you can rename it (you can name it anything you want but we will use "Android-adb" in this tutorial)
4. open SDK Manager.exe
5. make sure that Android SDK tools, Android SDK Platform-tools, Android SDK Build-tools and Google USB Driver is installed
6. Boot your device to recovery mode (hold volume up + power) hold it until it is turned on
7. connect your device through usb to PC (it should automatically install your usb driver if not download samsung usb driver)
8. go to CMD
9.type cd c:\Android-adb\sdk\platform-tools
or
9.1 press windows + pause/break
9.2 click Advance tab
9.3 click Environment Variables
9.4 search "path" under System variable
9.5 click edit (there is a value for Variable value in default)
9.6 at the end of the default value add this ;C:\Android-adb\sdk\platform-tools
9.7 click ok
10.
type this
adb
adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
adb shell /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh
11. your device will reboot...after that it should be fine...
[Q] N7100 no WIFI after installing Ditto 3.2 (Android 4.3) & MK4 kernel, MJ9 modem
Hey there,
I've installed Ditto 3.2 on my Galaxy Note 2 N7100.
After the installation I've encountered a WIFI problem (it wouldn't turn on). I've used the following guide to fix the wifi (used the Dr.Ketan's Wifi patch): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8InHhOgLHds , It fixed the WIFI but I've lost the 3g (Emergency calls only). I've tried the second approach from the video (BL_MJ5 Bootloader) and still no help - no 3g.
My next attempt was to install MK4 kernel & MJ9 modem according to the next guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539731
It returned my 3G which works fine now, but destroyed my WIFI! (again, can't turn it on) - I tried the 2 steps from the video again (wifi patch & mj5 bootloader) and they did nothing, I have 3g but no WIFI.
I've updated the rom using the OTA updater to 3.2.1 and it changed nothing.
I've attached a screenshot of my phone's version info & *#1234# result.
Any help will be appreciated!
UPDATE:
I've tried the exact same process with a stock android 4.3 and the same happened with every step (after fixing emergency calls I can't use my WIFI but now I have a "Security notice" that tells me "Your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required" every time I try to turn on my WIFI. =/
I've also tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628483&page=2#13 which seems to be a solution to the exact problem I had but it did nothing! I'm still with no WIFI.
SOLUTION !!!
After 3 days of hard work I've found a SOLUTION to the no WIFI after Emergency calls only fix problem! :laugh:
The solution is taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50358100&highlight=wifi#130 by jhonyp (originally from jurassiksame).
Here are the steps:
1- Install DN3 3.0
2- Install Root Browser
3- Use Root browser, navigate to System folder, long press "lkm_sec_info" and select copy
4- Paste copied file on your SDcard
5- Install DN3 3.2 rom
6- Install Root Browser
7- Navigate to your SDCard, long press lkm_sec_info and select copy
8- Navigate to system folder and paste copied file
9- Long press lkm_sec_info, select "Permissions" and ser Read and write on first line, and read on second and third line
10- Reboot recovery, install patched modem and init.d script, reboot
11- at this step your network must be back and your wifi must work fine, if not, repeat step 7, 8 and 9 and reboot.

I did not install any init.d script at stage 10, also, in order to save you some trouble, I'll attach my backed up lkm_sec_info file -> unzip the attached file, copy this file to your sd card, then using the Root Browser copy it to your /system directory overriding the existing file and then make sure it has the right permissions as stated in step 9. -> I don't know if using my file will do damage to your phone! Use it at your own risk
Thanks
I have had this problem since I updated to 4.3, and I had already lost faith, but saw tourist and gave it a try. Got my WiFi back.
THANKS.

Hey there,
I've installed Ditto 3.2 on my Galaxy Note 2 N7100.
After the installation I've encountered a WIFI problem (it wouldn't turn on). I've used the following guide to fix the wifi (used the Dr.Ketan's Wifi patch): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8InHhOgLHds , It fixed the WIFI but I've lost the 3g (Emergency calls only). I've tried the second approach from the video (BL_MJ5 Bootloader) and still no help - no 3g.
My next attempt was to install MK4 kernel & MJ9 modem according to the next guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539731
It returned my 3G which works fine now, but destroyed my WIFI! (again, can't turn it on) - I tried the 2 steps from the video again (wifi patch & mj5 bootloader) and they did nothing, I have 3g but no WIFI.
I've updated the rom using the OTA updater to 3.2.1 and it changed nothing.
I've attached a screenshot of my phone's version info & *#1234# result.
Any help will be appreciated!
UPDATE:
I've tried the exact same process with a stock android 4.3 and the same happened with every step (after fixing emergency calls I can't use my WIFI but now I have a "Security notice" that tells me "Your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required" every time I try to turn on my WIFI. =/
I've also tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628483&page=2#13 which seems to be a solution to the exact problem I had but it did nothing! I'm still with no WIFI.

All the links workin properly !
Don't use Adblocker on these sites
Remove chrome updates and do "clear data " and try links (if it does work remove entire chrome by 3C tool and install new version normally (not recommended !!! you may lose connection checking ability ) )
For FB I think there s no enough DPI but you can try.
For Google keyboard and Instagram try new links

i 've been busy(tax season in my work) so i was not able to respond so far, but i wiil do so in next two days, i promise....
my comments about suggestions you made
As i have posted before, you have done a very good work, collecting all these tips and trick that really make our phone to work more smooth and fast. I followed all your suggestion and these are my observetions.
When i unistalled and freese all the apps and services you are suggesting, I noticed that the tablet is working 15-20% faster than before, so this is the first + for your project!
downloaded and tried to install all that you suggest. All are working very well except:
FB is not installing at all no matter what you do.( uninstall, clear data, reinstall it, etc)
Chrome i was not able to install x86, so i downloaded from Play and install new version. I am not fun of Chrome and for once again a realized how heavy load is this browser, i cant see why people are using it. XDA start page did 3 minutes to load, since Mozilla 10 seconds. Any way this is personal opinion .......
Instagramm cause me black screen on phone in the end of installation. I had to hold down power so the phone closes and restarting it. When came back Instagram is working very well !!!!
So the main problems are FB and Chrome for me.
I am using an APP I found here in XDA that compines FB - messenger -Twitter in on screen without heavy load phone you can give it a try if you want. The name is Slidechat and you can take it from Play for free
[APP][4.0+][v2.0]Slidechat http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-slidechat-t3382662
I hope i helped someone with these thought of mine.
The big value though are to ADBLOCKER effords who collected and tested all these things for us to find ready.
THANKS MATE @adblocker !!!!
thanks a lot for the guide, I'm trying to follow your instructions to root the device, but in the first step
(fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img) the only thing I get is a message
<waiting for device>
and nothing happens
when I start the device normally and connect it to PC it is detected fine and nothing is wrong.
any ideas?
