I come to you guys because you all are the BEST. I have been a long time fan of Android since I got my first phone which happened to be the HTC Sprint Hero. I Just got a new phone that reminds me of that only MUCH better and being that it was just released, I cannot find anything pertaining to it.
I just rooted the LG Vortex (Froyo) today, and it was surprisingly easy using an app I found in the Market called z4root. Now I need to find a recovery and some ROMS for it and I could think of no other place I'd rather find one than XDA.
HELP!

I bought one friday online...supposed to get it on Monday...can't wait...
When you say you have rooted it...what has that done for you...does it give you some means to control the hardware and have access to the control of it...I am very interested to know if it actually runs the full 600 mhz...as I have often found that they report the speed higher than what it actually runs...
I too will be anxious to see some roms and I am also trying to learn how to build them myself as well...I will have to look up the z4root and learn about it and possibly download it when I get mine as well...
My Wife purchased the Motorola Droid 2...but I doubt she is going to let me tinker with it...unless I can convince her it will make it better...hahahahaha...

I too would like to know more info on the root as I am getting one on friday.
i would like to see some too
i have the lg vortex and have rooted it with the z4root and it has been working great no problems with i tried another rooting app and it made the phone act stupid so far z4root is the best choice, im still a newbie with the android os i just left windows mobile,
i have been using the vortex for a few days now and it runs pretty smooth as is but i am going to be trying the z4root has anyone found any roms for it yet?
i havent been able to find one for it found one for its sister phone
hey guys,
I could not find z4root in the market so I downloaded the file on my computer to send it to the phone. My question is, in which directory on the phone should I put it?
Doesn't really matter, just put it where you can find it so you can install it with Astro.
z4root=garbage

its better to just adb root it that app makes your phone slow
how's the phone in general?
Hi all,
I'm going to be getting an HTC Evo Shift from someone, which I think has Android 2.2 Froyo on it.
The phone was reported lost and a replacement obtained, then after getting the replacement the old phone was found.... but Sprint said they had written it off, and didn't want the old one back. The ESN remains blocked on Sprint because of this, but they won't unblock it and just said they didn't want it.
Soooo, I'm going to use it as a WiFi only device... but I'd really like to get Gingerbread 2.3 onto it somehow... which I'm assuming can't be done OTA if the ESN is blocked on the Sprint network?
Also, I'm in Canada so once I get it, I won't have access to the Sprint network at all.... and I don't know if the update can be downloaded and installed manually through the computer or what. Anyone know?
I heard the Evo Shift can be rooted as well, but that sounds very complicated to me... so I'm still figuring out what my options are with regards to getting the software as updated as possible.
Any advice would be appreciated
id personally recommend reading up on how to root your fone..
and once you get that going...
you can just install a diff rom that has 2.3 on it..
=D
hey
I did a bit of reading on rooting bit it seems like its different for all devices and some are "one click" solutions while others are multi-step instructions full of unfamilliar terms and procedures which could ruin the phone. lol
I did read some instructions that pertained to the Evo Shift, but there was much involved that my brain shut off after reading the first few steps.
I was really hoping for something simple. but that might be a pipe dream, eh?

Looks like the simplest root method for the shift. I haven't tried it, but since it is on xda good chance it is well supported.

Thanks for the link.
Still sounds scary... but I'll finish reading the rest of the discussion later and see what others ultimately had to say about it.
Still open to comments from others too if anyone has any.
I dont have the phone yet, I'm just getting prepared so I can get to work updating it as soon as it arrives.
Easy and fast root method
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
The link that was posted would be the easiest for someone but the perm root instructions that are stickied in the development section is what I have used many times on my shift and my girls shift when I root, you can do it either from the pc or from terminal on your phone just have to make sure the commands are exact so I would say just use the pc and copy from the root instructions and paste in command prompt. There are a few gingerbread ROMS to choose from 2 are stock, one is newkidds the other is X99s ROM, then there is MikShiFted-G which is a very optimized and snappy GB, and last there is Elite v1.2 over on themikmik which is based off MikShifted-G but has carousel Rosie and 3D widgets, whatever you do don't try the ota if it goes through you will be stuck with a OS that hasn't been rooted yet

Thanks for the replies guys.
I might give it a shot when it arrives.
There is a lot more I need to look into first.
I've seen lots of people say that if a CDMA phone has a carrier blocked ESN, that you can flash another carriers ROM onto it and activate it with them. I think Cricket Wireless or Boost Mobile was mentioned, but I can't remember.
Here in Canada, Bell still runs CDMA but they will NOT allow a non-Bell CDMA phone to be connected to their network, under any circumstances. HSPA/GSM they will though.
It I could flash the ROM to a carrier other than Sprint, that might be a good idea. That way the thing can potentially have some value as a phone too, and maybe serve me as a roaming device when I travel to the US. Or, would just installing one of the third party ROM's allow it to be activated on another carrier?
I'm really not familliar with the way the US carriers operate.
I did a brief search (both on Google and XDA) and came up with very little.
For your info - The Detail is pretty much an unbranded Evo Shift, available for MNVO's... My colleague just picked up one through Credo Mobile (Sprint). The device came with Android 2.2 out of the box, so is it possible to perma-root this device?
If so, would it be possible to use EVO Shift roms on the device? I know that its impossible to answer these questions without actually having a device to test - i'm pretty much just bouncing ideas off you guys.
Any information/ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
try here, it should work if I understand your questions.

Does this work?
Please let us know if this works. There is virtually no information whatsoever right now on rooting this phone. The only other thread I can find is androidpit dot com/en/android/forum/thread/437546/Rooting-the-HTC-Detail (anti-spam prevents me from posting links)
and it does not provide a conclusion.
I've been looking at this phone as well and am wondering the same thing. I don't want to get a phone that I can't root, and this is a time sensitive decision.
From everything I've read online it is just a rebranded Shift, but I can't seem to find any deep tech details on the phone to see if there are any minor differences that would prevent using Shift root method/ROMs.
I think it works
I got an HTC Detail from Credo a week ago. Am brand new to Android.
I think I just successfully rooted it, by following instructions on youTube
qbking77:
How to root and clockworkmod the HTC EVO Shift 4G on Android 2.2
(forum not allowing me to post a link since i am new and not yet to be trusted)
my phone seemed to work just like the Evo Shift in the video.
I'm running supreme sense v5 rom on my rooted htc detail from credo. It works exactly the same as the shift when it rooted it using instructions for the shift. Before i flashed ss i was using bcnice's kernel with the stock rom, which also worked fine.
The thing that i noticed that made me feel confident was that it is pg06100, exactly the same as the shift.

I have successfully rooted the Detail using clockworkrecovery and CyanogenMod 7.10, following the directions on the HTC Detail Root HowTo on the Cyanogen Wiki.
Has anyone else that has rooted this phone had any problems sending and receiving MMS or long text messages that need to be split up? Since rooting trying to send long texts says "Sending" for a long time and eventually fails. If it says sent, it usually comes back as failed shortly after. MMS usually says "Sent" but never shows up for the recipient.
Not sure if it will cure the issue. But you can try booting into Recovery. Then wipe Cache, wipe Dalvik, and reboot.
I know on some AOSP ROMS you have to go into the messaging settings and click the split at 160 thing to get the phone to send more than one message at a time, but I'm not sure about MMS, there might be a few things that need changed for you?
Shifted to the extreme, cause I rawk Supreme
I may be a bit late on catching this add, but yes. You can do a full root
Follow VICODAN's thread for most recent links:

Also if you want to do MMS, I made a how-to. It only seems to work for 2.3.4 mods however (I recommend NewSENSE)

Good luck! I am currently trying to find an image of Credo Mobile's to unroot myself. That is more trouble it seems than the Sprint's for sure.
Are you looking for the RUU ?
I have scoured the Internet for information regarding any custom work for this phone.
I stumbled upon samsungillusionforum dot com, which is a dead forum with ancient posts and near zero activity. It seems to be an alias to samsungfascinateforum dot com. Why anybody would set a forum up in this manner is beyond me.
Last month I bought the Verizon Wireless Samsung Illusion SCH-i110. I waited around a month to see if anybody would post any information regarding rooting/ROMs for this phone to no avail.
I plan on trying SuperOneClick to root the phone, but as for Custom ROMS I don't know what is out there.
I would appreciate any and all information anybody has regarding ongoing customization work for the Verizon Wireless Samsung Illusion SCH-i110 running Android 2.3.5.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I too have been looking to see if i can find a way to root this phone...i like the phone, nice and responsive and just a good midrange phone, however i do want to get root access for wifi tethering.... I have tried superoneclick, doomlord, z4, gingerbreak, and universal androot all to no avail... if anyone has success getting this rooted please share the knowledge and it'd be highly appreciated....
I am in the same boat here... My girlfriend recently picked one up and hates all the VZW apps that are installed and we want to remove them and tweak the system a bit. I have scoured through the interwebs for close to 2 weeks trying to find anything that can root this phone. Unfortunately, anything out there as far as I can tell does not work... Can anybody please help with this?
yes please im in the same shape as yall i got a couple darts modded and now i have the gnex and it is great but if i cant find anything soon maybe this one will not majically work and need to trade for a differatnt model.......ive also tries every method th OP origanilly posted............sux new toy no mod
Same here. Starting to think no one will ever root this phone. It boggles the mind that there is an unrootable android phone on the market. :-(

I was an idiot to suggest to my wife she get this phone from Verizon - I just assumed it was going to be a quick root for this cheap phone and I'd get all that Verizon crap off of it and it'd run great...
Looks like it ain't never going to happen.
did you try ZergRush? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296916
It's not that it's unrootable, it's just no one spends time rooting/modding prepaid phones... I'd be willing to work on it but I would need a tester, someone who can use ADB
I personally have tried everything including ADB to root this device. It isn't a prepaid phone. It is a contract phone through VZW
Just wondering if anyone has tried getting root by using Unlock Root from unlockroot dot com?
I am also interested in any progress on this phone.
I have the straight talk version S720C Samsung Proclaim which runs on Verizon service.
I assume that once a root for the paid Verizion is working that it should work as well on the Proclaim?
I got this for my daughter and being able to wifi teather would be great
I have tried every method to root this device. None have worked. Zergrush, unlock root, super one click, doomlord, z4root, manually, and a few other methods... Have the devs stopped working with one click root programs?

Hey folks. XDA noob here. I searched high and low on here for an answer to my question and couldn't find anything, so if this winds up being a repost, I apologize.
I recently bought a ZTE Unico LTE(Z930L) through Straight Talk a few days ago and I'm really happy with it. I'd like to get it rooted though, mainly so I can get rid of all the useless bloat. I can't find anything at all regarding a process of rooting this mother. I've found methods of rooting other ZTE phones (Blade, Open, etc.) but I'm not sure if any of those methods would work for the Unico, and I'd rather know for sure before I go messing around with it.
If anybody could help me out or at least point me in the right direction, I'll promise my first born child in exchange.
Thanks in advance!
New zte unico lte z930l comes with hack certificates pre installed +more
I feel you. Except I messed with my unico to no extent even returning one to walmart after tinkering too much. Here are my findings . I happened to get the z930l around launch. Since then I have try every known root method to no success. This phone comes with a locked file system that I never seen wow. Nothing I could do to get mount privilege for the inside . This phone comes pre installed with hundreds of certificates many expired japanese /Chinese hack certificates. Delete all cert with I blank common name. Disable lots of stock ap especially messaging. Then get go sms . Stock message ap has to easy access to changeable service center. Phone uses sure att towers. All phone have different service center number from phone number. If your setting get changed and you don't write or memorize service center number you screwed. Revert te default settings did not fix this. Calling straight talk and on phone with 5 agents for 5 hours did not fix this. IF YOU MESS WITH SERVICE CENTER NUMBER THEN WRITE IT DOWN OR YOU GET PERMANENT SMS DISABLE PLEASE LISTEN TO ME. I was lucky to be in walmart 14 day return. Only thing I like about the harder than necessary locked file system is cops can't install spyware easy at all. Just trust me. If you want a blazing fast always on 4g experience with all but networks then this phone for you. If you want root or privacy on this new coeus board then move along. Trust me.
just curious
so has anyone figured out a root for this phone?
I just got the ZTE Unico lte (Z930L). I just learned that the phone is the same as the Z998. Has anyone tried to use the root for that phone. I am really interested in trying it but really don't feel like doing it and bricking my phone but really hope someone has tried it so I can check that off the list of things to try.
I have tried the method for the mustang the problem lies in fastboot. there doesn't seem to be one. i can't even get it into recovery mode. the abd command just reboots it
i would love to root this phone there are alot of apps id like to get rid of and some id like to have different versions of.
Not sure if it actually works but I saw this I will probably check it out when I get home
Haven't had much luck so I'm posting on their forums for help
"mobilego . wondershare . com/forum/topic/160-zte-z930l-connection-problems/"
Also the link in the video goes to a different version than what was shown but "mobilego . wondershare . com/reference.html" has that version.
I hope this helps and if you get it to work please show how you get there.
(put spaces in url since i'm a new user.)

Will it help if we disable all of the trusted credentials or will that brick it? Fills like a hundred of them with a lot of them being stuff that seems a little shady being there
Finally found root for zte z930l!!!

I figured since it was locked out more than likely by the Chinese, i went to them for answers. I used kingroot 3.5.0, downloaded free and worked flawlessly! Took it a few minutes but to my suprise and enjoyment it worked. I installed root check and it verified! Supersu wouldn't install correctly so i used superuser.
