ive been working on rooting my inspire via bubbys method and have run into several snags...
first off, im using a mac with parallels with windows vista installed.
I installed htc sync then uninstalled it, left the drivers there.
when i ran bubby's one click process and it got to the point of looking for the pd98img.zip this is where i hit a snag. Parallels pops up asking if i want to use it for the current VM session. i hit yes but it couldnt find the phone, had to unplug and plug back in twice.
the second problem was that when i finally got the pd98img.zip process to work the update failed...
the next issue was the rage thing. i got it to go through but terminal emulator will not run a 2nd time for me. it did force close, but wont open. just white screen and phone is sluggish. if i restart the phone, the cursor is still a $ not a #. not sure where i should go from here.
update: trying again after reading faq's that the issue may be the goldcard being wrong format. i formatted sd card on the phone itself and now running process over. ill make a brick outa this yet!
still getting model id incorrect! update fail! when doing pd98img.zip.
i get through the rage commands in terminal again and it will not run the 2nd time.
At this point i had to do some updates on windows, and now it wont even go through the process of making the goldcard through the utility included with bubby's, where as i had no issue prior to 170 updates windows had to make (i hate windows) so now im about to totally give up. ive tried two different sd cards, formatted them through the phone, because windows wont format them (i get an error with that too) ugh!
will someone PLEASE help me out?
Try a reboot.
Did you do a quick format or a full format of the SD card?
i did the format through the phone, dismount then format. the windows utility doesnt run, it fails immediately. no clue why.
i will try and reboot it and go from there again. otherwise i may try and download some aftermarket 3rd party formatting application to do it. ugh!
update: rebooting phone and windows changed nothing. i still see htc drivers etc. pc sees the phone if i switch it to disk drive. if i try and run bubbys format utility it tells me to check my drivers. they are there and were working prior to installing a ton of windows updates earlier this morning.
formatting sd card through dos right now...
*cross fingers*
i just want to rant for a sec while this is formatting.
ive been trying to root this thing for like 3 days now.
every single step has fought me tooth and nail, i dont know why, thats just how things go for me sometimes. but im going to do this. Im going to win and the phone may as well give in... my fuze was so easy lol
/rant off
thanks for the help guys, i get nervous when i get half way through a process and get an error message.
windows is not seeing the phone when in charge mode. htc drivers are still installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled once already.
im getting this when i check out the driver for the htc phone:
androidusb.sys
Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

Have you, by chance asked in bubby's thread? You might also shoot cleard a pm.

I tried posting in his thread and was getting nothing. Ill try the hack kit again though. It would be awesome if I could find a chatroom full of you guys.
I don't have internet atm when I get home ill run this. Finally got the .sh hack file to.run, had to set it to open in terminal instead of text editor.
im trying to get to the following folder through astro file manager:
sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:82d1
but i have nothing like this. i can get to mmc1 but only see device, power, subsystem, and an event file. if i click subsystem folder i can click mmc1 again. i repeat this 10-15 times so it looks like:
sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1/subsystem/mmc1 then at the end i get 3 files mmc0, mmc1, mmc2. but never anything like "mmc1:82d1" it is this way on both sd cards even after i format them through the phone like the instructions said.
update: was able to go to mmc2 and find the file right away, hope its okay...
well its doing something now.... info[ruu]wp,userdata,xx stuff.
hope thats good.
k that done, sound back on now. booting up...
I had a bunch of trouble with mine too, cause i'm a tard. Let us know what happens.
okay everything seems to be fine now. signal, even has the H.
to flash a custom rom do i just go to clockwork and do flashwork recovery then install from sd card?

i knew if i could just get the ball rolling id be okay. nothing like the fuze lol
I would read a little more before you venture into it.

but is that the procedure from this point correct?

Make sure you are happy with your downloads speeds first....depending on what radio you are using...if you are still on the downgraded radio you might want to update that.
Then if you go here

There is a video and a picture tutorial on how to flash roms...just make sure you go into rom manger and flash clockworkmod recorvery first....
Hi there. I got me a samsung galaxy 550 from virgin mobile canada yesterday, and well, I kinda like it despite being a slow piece of hardware with a 320x240 screen but until I can get enough money to buy something better, I'm fine with this (the phone I had before was a nokia n95, so that's a step up.)
The problem is, I want to try out the official 2.2.1 rom from samsung, and the only way I can do that is to update via odin. actually, that's not the problem, but I want to make a backup of all the apps I've downloaded already, and I just can't get it rooted. at all. z4root, universal androot, superoneclick; they just don't work. the one that was the closest to getting it rooted was superoneclick, and even then it can't finish the job, so I'm stuck with superuser on an unrooted phone, and titanium backup won't work either, so I'm kinda stuck here.
What else could I do?
anyone? please?

You may have noticed this is a "development and hacking" forum. Your problem reads more like a user error than a development one.
I do not mean to say this thread does not belong. It is just that "they just don't work" is something like what a Windows-using grandmother would say.
What are the exact errors you are getting? Preferably, they should be copied and pasted from the terminal itself.

Well, z4root doesn't do anything after it says "running exploit", superoneclick gets stuck on "waiting for device", and the only time it managed to get superuser onto it, it couldn't root the device no matter if I updated it or not; universal androot says "FAILED NO FU GOO", both odin and heimdall fails to connect to the device, and ADB doesn't even see the phone no matter what mode it is. I can't seem to find how to boot into recovery mode (I only ever get instructions to boot into download mode).
ok now in odin I get "cannot open the usb serial port. code: 2". sometimes it's code 5.
Go to madteam.co...dedicated for G5 users,you will get help there at no time

First problem is ADB not seeing the phone. ADB is pretty necessary if you want to debug something. You will need to download LG's Windows driver for your phone if you use Windows. I will include the one I use for my Optimus V here.
On many LG phones it is impossible to boot into recovery or fastboot mode without modification.
Try zergRush from here first:
https://github.com/revolutionary
If not working, try GingerBreak from here:
http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2011/04/yummy-yummy-gingerbreak.html
You may want or need to compile these first which is going to add another level of complexity. Be patient.
The general idea is:
1.setup your drivers
2.get comfortable working with ADB
3.run temporary root
4.immediately flash recovery
5.immediately Nandroid backup everything in several places for safety
6.test Nandroid backup
7.make whatever modifications you like, including permanent root
That's not a lg phone.
Ok so I managed to install cyanogemod and everything's fine. now, I just wanna know, is there any way to enable multitouch on this thing? it's got a capacitive screen, but no multitouch. can that be fixed or is it really just a hardware issue?
Multitouch is not possible,a fake dual touch is possible.

I have a problem. I just got my Android a couple of days ago and I really badly want to root it. I've tried multiple different programs and with each one the problem I get is "Waiting for device" in the cmd/terminal (Tried on multiple platforms: Vista, Win7, Ubuntu). I've tried installing drivers too and still didn't work (maybe the wrong drivers?).
Yes I realize that I am a "noob", but I really need some help here.
Got USB Debugging enabled ??
Got the correct upto date drivers ?
You navigated to the right location in ADB ??

Well Redownload the drivers and see if that helps, You could try Hasoon2000's All In One Kit to help with this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
As for ADB, (Android Debug Bridge) you should have this already, You need it to get unlock the bootloader and flash superboot (root) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
Be sure to check out those links and also look at my FAQ section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24884624&postcount=3
I have all the files that it says are necessary to unlock the bootloader. It's just when I type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" it just sits there saying "waiting for device".
I've tried hansoon's all in one program as well and it didn't work either.
Well that means it cannot find your phone, So the issue lies with the drivers and/or the location from which the command prompt is opened..
Put all of the files into 1 folder called android or adb and move that 1 folder to the root of your C Drive..
This should make navigating easier. Also, In that folder should be adb.exe and fastboot.exe do you have these ?
I fixed this by just playing around with it a bit more. Thanks for the help, though.

Well man, I really wish I could help you out because I remember how frustrating this was for me. This post was 2 and a half years ago though. Just really make sure that your drivers are up to date. If I could remember my exact solution I would help you out for sure.

ok. it was windows 8 not allowing unsigned drivers to install properly. note: not "not installing at all", but "not installing properly". meaning: htc drivers installed somehow, so I was able to see the device and copy files around, but it was not enough for flashing roms.
so I started this guide to disable driver signature:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmw86KplqmU
... but my laptop is a business laptop and this guide demands BitLocker key if hard drive is encrypted (mine is). I also have a windows 7 desktop machine. So I decided to go the easy and quick way of simply doing flashing on my desktop computer. Windows 7 worked like a charm. But I'm sure the guide above would've helped as well. If somebody tries that, please post results.
Sorry if someone had posted this before.
I had my phone unlocked and rooted. It is running the latest noctural dirty rom. (I used the 1 click all in one)
Recently my computer crash and I had to do some restore and my htc stuff is wiped
I install HTC drivers again. But when I went to check my CID, fastboot, or do a command to go into bootloader/recovery, said device not found
I did have usb debugging checked, but it doesn't show the notification on status bar (I had the notify checked).
so i'm not sure if it's my computer or the rom that's not connecting.
anyone can help me? thanks.
Or maybe the cable..some cables connect me and some dont
very common problem. Probably on the computer end, and not the phone. Try a different USB port, try uninstalling the HTC drivers and installing again. Make sure its the latest version. Also try a different cable, as suggested. You might even have to try a different computer.
One of the above suggestions almost always solves the issue of the computer not "seeing" the phone.
What version of windows are you on?

Could you post a step by step of what you are doing? It would be easier to identify the problem.
Also check to see if your USB drivers are installed correctly. (If you have legit copy of windows and the driver CD for the target computer you should be good)
I had a legit copy of windows but lost the driver CD. I had to manually install them all

Much more information required. Do you really expect anyone to be able to help with just that? You're in the wrong forum anyway, so you need to go and ask in the HTC One forum. When you do, please provide every piece of relevant possible.

Hey there guys. I bought an HTC One M7 from amazon which came unlocked. Problem was, i couldnt get it to connect to my provider, Koodo. Long story short, i went to flash a Stock Telus Rom to it, no META file in the zip. Already wiped my phone. So now theres no OS. I have TWRP still (thank god for that) but it just sits at the HTC logo and wont boot, as i know thats what happens when you mess up. Fairly familiar with THIS issue, as ive done it to my Samsung Galaxy SIII MANY times before, but had odin to fix it. I have an RUU.exe. Got it from a forum here. Cant connect to my phone (error 171 i believe). Everything is connected properly, and my PC recognizes it, but only as an MTP device. I am gonna try an RUU.zip and flash it with fastboot. See if that method works. But any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated as i dont want to have spent $299 to waste it like betting on the Maple Leafs.
Side note: I cannot get ADB Sideloader to work properly. I have a Custom Rom that i attempted to flash that way, but i got the error that was like ADB version (31) is not up to date with server (36) or something along the lines of that and then it fails to load daemon everytime. Tried some fixes from these forums but none of them were successful. Not familliar with ADB and all that stuff, so if anyone has any fix for the ADB, please dumb it down to kindergardener levels.
Sorry this is so long. Tried to explain everything as detailed as possible for a more acturately helpful response.
UPDATE Got the RUU.zip file to work after a couple hours of messing around with it. Had to fast boot getvar to obtain my model id, and change that in the android-info.txt in the zip file. Is flashing now. HUGE thanks to all of the thousands of XDA forums. Helped me out with everything!
