I tried to S-Off my Desire S using the revolutionary tool and followed instructions. Towards the end of the process and revolutionary tool stopped responding and it forced me to end the application. Tried checking if it went successful, it said that my phone was on S-Off. I tried going to recovery and flash "this zipfile" (source: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.p.../revolutionary) to root the device since gingerbreak was not working. I got the icon of a phone with red triangle and exclamation point. I did do volume up key + power to enter to recovery then i got the error E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Please help.

Yes, wipe the cache. You will not lose anything either way.
If it does not work? It's safe to say that what ben_pyett said is most probably true? "fried eMMC Chip"

I don't know a lot about the issue, but from what I have read on the forum, that would be the likely situation.

Not true people have hit this problem after performing a factory reset of the device and during the market re-install of their applications.
Others have hit this problem after pulling battery after device crash, the cause of crash can be a multitude of things, from a hung third party downloaded application to re-install or flash of a new ROM.
Just always take backups and try to be careful. Only do what you fully understand.
If device crashes always try Volume up key + Volume Down Key + Power key to reset before resorting to battery pull. Plus remember that the battery should never be pulled and re-inserted too quickly.
@ben_pyett thank you so much for your help. What would you suggest that I do now? I already tried wipe the cache, it just says wipe successful. the options i have after is to reboot system and install update from sdcard? do i need to download something like CWD recovery? If yes, where can I download that? Thanks. I apologize for the ignorance.

No problem, this appears to be happening very frequency to people, so I think we need to do more tests before we say fried chip.
In my signature is a link fried emmc? Try to do some off the commands In this as this will determine whether you have a bad chip, you'll also find the link to fast boot and adb commands that you need on the pc in order to run these commands in my signature
I'll look back tomorrow and we can try again
No need to apologise we are all learning here, I'll provide instructions in how to install EXT4 recovery next tune I'm at a PC, in the morning

@sagarda7
Funnily enough, superoneclick is what I used many months back to root my phone in the days when GingerBreak didn't work for our device.
@boazgalpo
Although, initially something that I'd like you to try is to attempt to install the EXT4 custom recovery onto your device:
1) download and unzip this file on to your PC.
2) Plug your booted device into the computer using USB (with debugging enabled)
3) Run a Command Prompt window on the PC where the unzipped files are accessible run the script called runme.cmd (cut n paste the screen output)
4) Boot into recovery to see if it worked?
EDIT:
You download superoneclick from here, it has its own site although give my suggestion a go first.
As if it works you'll be able to simply flash a custom ROM which will come rooted.
Thanks a lot man. I will surely try that.

This video I posted is to help people get the custom rom installed which will enable root. This is for people who do not want to go the adb shell way. This method is simpler but will require you to flash a custom ROM onto your phone. You will not have to download the SDK for this method.
*** Use at your own risk. Although i have not come across any one on forums who bricked their phone, there is sill a possibility that this can brick your phone. I take no responsibility if you brick your phone.**
Have tested this on Windows 7 and Windows Xp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdmkTFAG3PM
Hey everyone, I made a video on this, and some people said I should do a step by step guide, so here goes.
First things first, you are going to need to download these files.
flashrec -- http://zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2/flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk
Amon RA Recover Image 1.6.2 -- http://rapidshare.com/files/360288584/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

[ROM] Fresh Rom 2.0d (has firmware 2.1) --
http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-20d
Do not extract the Rom zip file, it needs to stay in the zip.
Ok, lets do this in steps, should make it easier:
Step 1: Mount the sd card and place all the files downloaded onto the root of the sdcard.
Step 2: Download some sort of file manager, ex Estrongs File Manager, and run/open the flashrec apk.
Step 3: Once it's finished installing, unplug the usb cable, run the app, and hit the button, "backup recovery image". If you get an error, try rebooting your phone, make sure the usb cable is unplugged.
Step 4: Exit app, and mount the sd card again, and move recovery-backup.img to your desktop, then rename recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img to recovery-backup.img
Step 5: Unmount sdcard, unplug usb cable, and go back into the flashrec app(should be named recovery flasher in all programs list)
Step 6: hit restore backup image. Once finished flashing, power down phone.
Step 7: After you power down your phone, hold the Vol Down button, then hold down the power button. Phone should boot into hboot. Press home for recovery.
Step 8: To ensure you have a backup of your phone before we continue, do a nandroid v2.2 backup.
Step 9: After the nandroid backup is complete, you can now choose apply "sd card update choose", and choose the modaco or damage control rom
Step 10: Reboot your phone and you should be all set.
Any issues or anything unclear, let me know and I will try to help make it clear.

What was the error you got in the vid when you did the backup with flashrec? Because I get the same error. It says "Backup FAILED: Could not run command." and I never get a button that says restore.
Should I type recovery.img in before I hit backup?

It was because I left the usb cable connected. It was being weird.
reboot fixed that.... standby....
Booted in hboot mode, pressed home for the recovery menu, HTC logo came up... then a huge

Rebooted itself after a moment and now seems normal.
Thoughts?

Must have not installed the recovery image. Did you type it in the blank space before hitting restore recovery image ?

Nope. Same thing. I backup and it says backup complete. I enter recovery.img into the blank field (which is what I renamed the img file to) and hit restore and it says flash complete (or something). Then, I turn off my phone, reboot in hboot mode, hit home, get the HTC logo, then bam-- scary warning/dead phone symbol.
I'm gonna try one more thing....

Ok, let's try this. Rename the recovery img file to the name that flash rec makes. It should be recovery-backup.img . This method is said not to work with some phones. If this is correct, you're going to have to use the other method.
Rename it and then do flash rec again, or rename it and go straight to the hboot sequence?

ShiftRRv1.0
Shift Root and Recovery will be able to root you're phone in a pretty safe manner. The program is designed to only flash the eng boot if the MD5 checksums are correct.
This does it by simply pushing / pulling the hboot from the phone and checking the MD5 as if you were to manually do it. Only this just does it automatically.
Check Root:
This will just run a quick and simple SU test to make sure you are or are not rooted.
Root:
You will click on this to install the ENG Hboot and load the correct files after the Hboot has been flashed.
Install Recovery:
You simply select the recovery image you want to use with your HTC Evo Shift. Leave the phone at the home screen and click install. It will auto reboot you to bootloader, flash the zip then auto reboot you to recovery to make sure it flashed successfully.
Backup / Restore WIMAX:
This option lets you quickly and easily backup your wimax keys to your home pc. It will also let you restore your wimax keys to your phones partitions.
[WHAT THIS PROGRAM DOES]
When you click on root, and click "NO" for this phone does not have a ENG Hboot. The program push's the ENGHboot from the Hboot folder to the phone and push's busybox. From there it gets a temp root shell. It then cross checks the MD5sum on the phone itself using busybox md5sum /data/local/eng_hboot if the MD5Sum math's it then proceed's with the dd if cmd. Once the dd if cmd is done. The program then sends the dd if cmd to /data/local/eng_hboot_check, it runs the cmd busybox md5sum again and verifies that the MD5Sum matches if so everything went well, the program cleans up its mess off the phone and alerts you its safe to reboot. IF IT FAIILS it will try 1 more time. The program is designed to check the HBOOT md5sum and verify if its the ORIG hboot if it is not and the MD5Sum doesn't check between the ENG and ORIGINAl it will attempt to flash the original and notify you if it succeeds. IF IT FAILS AGAIN. IT WILL NOTIFY YOU NOT TO TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND COME HERE FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. I ADVISE YOU TO LISTEN.
After this YOU MUST REBOOT THE PHONE.
When phone is powered up again Click Root again this time select "YES" that the phone has a ENGHboot, this will get temp root again and push all the needed files, "SQLITE3", "BusyBOX", "SU", "Superuser.apk" to there proper location.
If YOU CLICK "YES" and didnt have the ENG Hboot thats fine it simply will temp root you and push files to your phone, but when you reboot they will be gone. Just start from the begining again and do it again.

Thanks for sharing. No need for me to try it now but if I ever replace or need to re-root. Really like the option to backup wimax keys too.
Looks great but too bad I don't need it! Like the option to back up wimax, but what about restoring them!?
Im giving this a try now
It "did its thing" after rebooting the program is still "waiting" and the phone is booted. Hmmm help?

Were you trying to root, or where you trying to do recovery?

I was trying to root, and I have windows 7 64 bit
Where is the link ! someone please give me the file , pretty please please please been waiting for this !!!
I don't know if this is what it's trying to achieve or not. I don't know how to do it either. Judging by all my previous phones, an all in one script could be written to do everything the s-off, root, and recovery post is telling how to do. Just a "simple" batch file and some support files and presto, it's all done!
Zip everything needed together and just unzip and run. I could probably teach myself by ripping apart other all in one packages and adjusting my port to follow loosely what they are doing but I just don't have the free time to spend on that project. By the time I would get around to doing it, someone else would have finished it. I just don't know things like telling the phone to reboot into different modes so it could continue it's job. I can visualize it in my head but making it a reality is completely different. Doh!
Anyone know where the download link went? I've been having trouble with rooting my phone and wanted to try this, but theres no download link in the first post (unless my computer decided to stop showing links).
Link was removed temporarily. Learn to read guys, sheesh
On a side note, I'm pretty psyched about this OP, since I haven't had the ambition to sit down and root my phone yet. Just curious, are there any files that would need to be downloaded prior to using this (such as the ****-root.zip used in the other root method)?
Oops, saw everything except "removed temp..." in the first post.
It looks like there isn't anything extra that needs to be downloaded. Looks like the OP figured out a way around it.

Possibly the recovery files ( clockworkmod 2.x or 3.x ) and have HTC sync set up to even connect the phone I would guess.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Sorry guys will work on this again in a few days girl is supposed to be going in to labor today...
On the side note the issue that I ran into is that running rageagainstthecage from the windows side does not give you root. It actually disables usb connection between the phone and the computer. I was trying to make this so you didnt need anything other then the program. But now with that being a problem z4root would be needed to obtain at least temp root but if i doesnt drop you to # then it still will not work from doing it automatically using arguments. That is what i'm trying to resolve first..
Ill get back to you guys on it, and ill even add the option to restore wimax keys.
That's what I was thinking You have to Temp root with Z4root first.
Since The manual root requires super user to work.
Dude!!!! thank you so much for this. Been wanting t root badly but was afraid to try the other method. Good luck with baby!!
Perhaps someone brave could test it out by temp rooting with visionary/z4root and then running the program? If you posted the download link back up.
Dear all,
I managed to create a script that enables root!

ROOT-A51x.zip (679.1 KB) or http://www.multiupload.nl/8QVEMO3P0R
** Install instructions **
1. First install CWM Recovery (or any other you can find for your device)
2. Upload ROOT-A51x.zip to your external sdcard
3. Run the following command to enter recovery (or power off your device, press Volume- and then Poweron your device):
Code:
adb reboot recovery
4. In the recovery select "install zip from sdcard"
5. Then select "choose zip from sdcard"
6. Choose your "ROOT-A51x.zip" file
7. Choose yes - install ROOT-A51x.zip
8. Wait till the script is ready and reboot your device
If something fails, you can run "adb shell" from the recovery and use "cat /tmp/recovery.log" to provide the output of the scripts.
Enjoy & good luck
Regards,
Nika.
Here's some instructions how to unlock boot loader:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
** wait for it to load
fastboot oem unlock
** press Volume- (two dots button) and then Volume+ (one dot button) to unlock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
** you're in the unlocked bootloader :)

Hi,
I also got an A511. Root is also not working for me
My build number is Acer_AV041_A511_1.028.00_EMEA_DE
I really hope someone will get root working on the A511
Its just annoying that root is still difficult like that.
There are so many things like lbe or pdroid (on other devices) that i never want to miss again on every Android Device.
ACER_AV041_A511_1.028.00_EMEA_DE , @ Kernel 2.6.39.4+
Well... While building a new recovery I killed my recovery and cannot install update.zip's anymore... luckily no brick, but does make it harder to test stuff.
Therefore I cannot test attached root script. It's based on someone else's script to unlock the bootloader first, and then install an update.zip that contains all root files.
Anyone care to test it? It cannot brick your device or kill your recovery, so don't worry. It will probably not work, but doesn't hurt to test it
Furthermore. If there's still someone with a rooted A510, can you dd your recovery and upload it? I can try the stock recovery of A510 to see whether it works on A511
I can think of two commands that may work for exporting recovery on an A510:
Try this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS of=/mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
Or try this:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
Or possibly even this:
Code:
dd if=/recovery of=/mnt/sdcard/recovery.img
Regards,
If one of them is successful it will export the recovery to your internal sd...
Nika.
Well, turns out my recovery is not corrupted. Tried installing the 1.011 ROM and it worked without a problem (although I wanted to wait till root would be available so I could do a full backup)... so I guess that root zip provided in the previous post still has some error in it...sorry, will continue investigation, somehow, sometime, somewhere we'll find a way
Would be nice.
Atm im not rly use my Tab, too many Spy Aps around that are confirmed via pdroid.
lbe first for me
Well... my tab is now rooted!! See first post (OP) for the root script & instructions how to do it...
Good luck!

Sounds nice.
But im waiting if its really secure, that tablet was too expensive to brick

It's never safe if you want safe - don't root, that's what it's for
And yes, first install cwm recovery, then install root-zip from this thread through cwm-recovery.

Hi nikagl,
thanks, i got root on my brand new, long time awaited A511.
For the bootloader-recovery i had to use the vol button with the two dots (it´s the vol down (-) button in my A511) no matter what direction the turn-look switch had.
Right now did the needed Stock (rooted su 3.1) Backup successfully with the CWM touch.
Really Great Job!

Thank you! Going to try this as soon as i get to my a210.
.... Placeholder ....
And you can just press the 3 point?, Only root, the kernel does not need to unlock me ....
Probably not. It dumps a CWR image to /dev (overwriting the factory recovery?), which is boot, so you have to be unlocked.
CWR is used to mount /system (rw) so that adb can push Superuser and some other binaries.
I got stuck, after loading up CWR. My Windows 7 (x64) couldn't recognize my A210 while CWR was running. Downloaded USB drivers through the Android SDK, and the Acer USB drivers, but neither of them did any good i continued with the rooting process (so that it could clean up after itself) but nothing got pushed to /system (which is no surprise, seeing my tablet was unrecognized). So, now i have an unlocked bootloader, no root, and i'm unable to get into recovery... nothing happens, if i hold volume down, while powering on. I have to press the reset button, to restart it properly.
Could it be that there are no drivers for Windows 7 x64?
Edit: ok, i've read through the topic at android-hilfe.de, and got it working (had to manually install the driver). Now i have root! Thank you!

What exactly is your question?
I don't know if it will work with 4.1.1, because I do not have 4,1.1 on my tablet! You have?
I get everything back to its factory state, or even be the standard kernel?

Please learn english, or use a better translater tool for your questions!
You use this tool at your own risk, so please stop bugging me with private messages AND forum posts!
Hy everybody
I tried to root my A210 yesterday using your program. But I point out some difference between what happen and the "how to".
First, I didn't have 4 option when I start the tool. I just have the bootloader option and a root option.
Following the "how to", I first activated the open mode to boot.Then, I choose the second choice (root) and that's when it didn't follow the "how to" document. My A210 did restart and boot to a*SCHLEXEDEELER edition but it never ask me to restore my data. And when it get restarted, everything was as it were.I also didn't have all the part about installing the driver because my PC still detect the tab as "adb interface".
I aldo never had the section about mount and unmount system.
Then the*SCHLEXEDEELER tool ask me if I wanted to install the custom recovery. As I was pretty scared of what might happened, I answered "no". So the tool ended.
I cheched on my tab but I was still not root so I did all that stuff again but choose "yes" instead of "no" for the custom recovery.The*SCHLEXEDEELER tool printed out many lines but one caught my attention.
It was something like :"data\tmp\cwm[...].img : no such file or dir".there is a file called "cwm[...].img" (the [...] is because I don't recall the exact name) in the folder in wich there is the*SCHLEXEDEELER tool.
But I didn't suceed in making it finding this file.
And when I checked whether I'm root or not, it turns out that I wasn't.
Any ideas or suggestion?
Still, thanks a lot for your job.

FIRST OF ALL you don't read the thread correctly:
The "How to" of Heroturtle is NOT for V2.0 Final Edition!! Do not use that "how to" !!
So here is what the tool do if you select root:
Start your device into bootloader (fastboot mode)
Flash boot.img to your device via fastboot
Pushing binary files like su and busybox to your tablet
READY!
It's important that you have install all drivers correctly!
The 4 points are from the Versions before and are not necessary anymore now.
If you have done the root process, you must install SuperUser from the PlayStore! After that you have root!
Use only schlexedeeler Tool V2... You are confusing something and write about things that no longer exist in the new version!!! No restore my data. etc...
Sorry for my bad English
schlexedeeler Kernel 1.1, Not mount USB - NTFS format....
ok, got it.
I will try to install super user tonight and see if it's good.
I'll write a message to keep you inform about that.
thank you for your quick and pertinent reply

If not, please let me know, then we will find a solution for you, but I think if you do only that, what the tool tell you, you're on the right way :good:

WARNING: The stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
SOLUTION: Flash a root such as SuperSU or phh-superuser. You can also flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip.
Prerequisites :
YOUR BOOTLOADER MUST BE UNLOCKED
How to unlock the bootloader :
1-enable oem unlock in the developer settings
2-reboot to fastboot [adb reboot bootloader] then issue this command [fastboot oem unlock]
note: this will wipe your data]

-If you have problems with the device drivers installed , you will need to install lg bridge, you can download it from here:
http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=PWZO7A26B9UW
How to flash Twrp:
BOOT INTO FASTBOOT MODE:
With your phone off, connect your usb cable to your phone while holding VOLUME DOWN to boot into fastboot mode or just type [adb reboot bootloader] in the adb terminal
ONCE YOU ARE IN FASTBOOT MODE:
Open a command prompt and type "fastboot flash recovery <path_to_recovery.img>” without the quotation marks.
Example: fastboot flash recovery C:/Users/John/Desktop/recovery.img
[don't forget to extract the downloaded recovery zip to get the recovery.img]
WHEN THE FLASH COMPLETES: (Takes about 2 seconds)
On your phone, unplug the usb cable and power it off by taking out the battery and putting it back in.
BOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE FOR THE FIRST TIME
HOLD VOLUME DOWN + POWER until you see the LG logo and then temporarily release the POWER button, immediately pressing and holding it back down until you see the white prompt [factory reset] screen. You will NEVER release the volume down button in this process!
Use the hard keys to select "YES" and then "YES" again to boot into TWRP
How to Disable encryption and flash super su [Install Root]:
1. In TWRP, go to Wipe > Format Data. Enter the keyword ‘yes‘, in the provided space and enter. This will wipe the automatically encrypted filesystem, and decrypt it.
2. Once the wiping is done, reboot back into recovery. Go to Reboot > Recovery.
3. When the recovery boots again, connect your phone to the PC and Enable MTP under the Mount section.
4. Transfer the downloaded ‘no-verity-opt-encrypt-**.zip’ and ‘SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip to your internal storage or EXTSD
5. Disconnect the device now.
6. Tap on Install. Now, navigate your phone’s storage and select ‘no-verity-opt-encrypt-**.zip’. Finally swipe the ‘Swipe to confirm Flash’ button on the bottom of the screen.
7. The flashing process will merely take a few seconds. And when it’s done, follow the same method to flash the root package – SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip [/B]
Wait 1 or 2 minutes after the zip files are done flashing then reboot system and PROFIT! Your phone may take 3-5 minutes to boot the first time and it might boot-loop once or twice at the Metro PCS splash screen but don’t worry this is expected.

I was not aware of that friend, my apologies.
I'm having an issue, Instagram Twitter and Facebook refuse to update after using magisk, so I switched to SuperSU and I still have the same problem. The only way to get it to work is to remove root. I can't even connect to them through the browser it keeps saying failed to uodate

I got it restored eventually but im still having the same issur that made me try a factory reset in the first place. Half the time, i need to reboot for my phone to charge and some of those times the notifications that its charging and that debug is on stay in the status bar. Im at my wits end.
I just grabbed an Aristo 2 and though I don't know how long I'll have it, in my free time ( which is limited ) I'm going to be working on getting a full rom package with kernel compiled. What would you guys like to see? I primarily focus on flagships, and this is definitely a budget device but it's been working well for me despite the snapdragon 425 and only 2gb ram...I'd like to see some development for this thing and though I've only spent about 20 minutes looking around on xda it seems it's very limited (which is to be expected)...Can someone give me a brief rundown on where we are with the device and what yet needs accomplished to be ready for a compile? Are sources available (kernel source, etc)? I thought I read back in another post (messi2050?) that some sources had been obtained? I'm going to go back over it and see what else is needed....do we have defconfig and whatnot to build? Any info you guys can paraphrase will make this all a lot faster since I've got very limited time to research but access to a poweredge r330 blade with 32GB and a 3.4ghz octa to compile on....I've already set up the VM with linux and am waiting to see what else I find that I'm going to need and decide on a build (lineage, cm, stock rooted, etc) before I take the time to download android source....I've only got a 50mbps line coming into the server so a 40gb source download isn't exactly fast and I work construction so I'm in and out but never seem to have EXTENDED periods of time to sit down and burn the keyboard up....
Thanks guys....I'm about to install Tapatalk on the device and I'll be out-n-about checking on jobs in the field but if anyone wants to DM me and bring me up to speed I'll be sure to reply....In the meantime as time allows I can remote the server at the office if need be....
-Rx8driver
I've also noticed that driver issues are pretty noticeable using win10 in fastboot mode...i had to load the Google driver manually to get fastboot mode working... if you're having issues take a close look thru the device manager and make sure the lg driver is properly loaded when the device is in fastboot and download modes if you're running win10...
