[Q] Please Help New sensation and i want to root - HTC Sensation

so I have already downloaded rev and i get everything right but after i enter the beta code its says "zerging root.... may take a minute or soo" and i can let it sit like this for hours with nothing happening PLEASE HELP
Specs:
Tmobile
2.3.4
hboot: 1.18.0000

What version of Windows are you using?

I am running windows 7

Hmmm, I had no issues with it myself but I would suggest running as administrator and see if that helps

lame part is I have tried that, if you have skype or something i can share my desktop to show you :/ its very frustrating lol, i stayed up all night -.-

OK so i ran rev on an older computer with xp and it worked right now im running leedriod ? so what can i do with these custom roms/?

I'm also using windows 7 and have had no problems. The fact that it says searching for root kinda makes me wonder if its the phone that's the problem and not your system. Is your phone connected with charge only selected? Do you have adb debugging enabled? Maybe try with another USB if you have checked the above while running as an administrator. You may have to disable your antivirus also. I have Norton and it detected revolutionary as a virus and kept deleting parts of it. That could also be the problem. You may be missing parts. Verify the zipped contents with the unzipped contents. *Edit* Just saw that you got it working. Great! But to answer your question, you can do everything. The only problem is, is figuring or what you want to do first.

doesnt say serching for root says zerging, which it sayed on the other comp too, idk why it wasnt running on my laptop but yah, so i installed leedriod on my phone , is there any roms you guys would suggest leedriod is alright but i think there are better ones out there/...

[Q] SuperOneClick v1.7 hanging

I have tried to download SuperOneClick v1.7
At first mcafee wasn't even allowing me to download the file. I seem to have downloaded it though and ran it.. btw I also get this error ... Android Platform sooner single ADB interface failed to load driver. it said it cannot load on this computer being that it was not signed properly... I'm not sure that, that line in driver software is even reffering to SuperOneClick but it seemed to be. Anyways when i do get SOC up and running it it says
killing ADB server
OK
Deamon not running. starting now on port 5037
deamon starting successfully
OK
waiting for devise
Then it just hangs ... if i try clicking or mving the software SOC it just freezes and i always get a not responding .. I let it sit for like 20 minutes ithought any change ... any help would be appreciated...
-Aaron
Usually AV software will recognize it as a threat and will remove parts of the file. I would recommend disabling your AV software when you download it and run the program.
yeah,
I've turned of my McAfee .. at least the scan and firewall [thats' all i could find to turn off]. I even tried SuperOneCLick v1.5.5 and i said something different but basically hung in the same spot ..
Anyways same problem ... oh yeah im tying to do this to a virgin mobile optimus v

[Q] cant root, need help!

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.

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?

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....

[Q] Issues attempting to root phone

First time ever trying to root a phone, and I tried using the one click method to root my phone, and when I got to the point of installing the radio, it wouldn't work because I stupidly forgot to turn off my anti virus.
So when I attmepted to go back and give it a second try, the program will not restart the daemon server, this is what shows in my command prompt.
"HTC Inspire 4G Simple One Click S-OFF, Downgrade, Clockwork, Root
Scripted by bubby323 of XDA-Developers
Press any key to continue . . .
Press any key to continue . . .
Before we begin: Make sure your phone is plugged into your computer via USB and
"Charge Only" mode is selected.
Press any key to continue . . .
Also make sure you have installed, then uninstalled the "HTC Sync" program.
We need its drivers to root your device. If you have not done this, exit the pro
gram, then try again when you are finished.
Press any key to continue . . .
Changing directory to use the needed resources...
We will now stop, then restart the ADB server. When it's ready, it will say "Dae
mon started successfully "...
Restarting adb server...
"
and it just gets stuck there.
If anyone can help me with this, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
You need to make sure that USB Debugging is enabled. It's possible that during your initial run, some things worked, and thus the USB Debugging was unselected. Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Development and make sure that it is indeed ticked.
I've made sure it was in charge only, made sure fast boot was off, and the unknown sources was turned on, as well as USB debugging turned on god only knows how many times thinking I had made a stupidly simple mistake like that.
Edit: I just tried it again, and now it repeatedly says that the daemon server is not started, and says it cannot connect to daemon
I'm no pro, having just rooted my first Android. I would consider the possibility of the following. 1) Corrupted usb drivers, reinstall drivers. 2) Antivirus deleted some one click files, remove and redownload.

I guess it's worth a shot, I'll try it when I get home from work tonight.

Number 2 was the most common issue when I read through Bubby's thread a month or so ago (all 3200 posts). If you use MS Security Essentials, you have to completely uninstall BEFORE downloading the program.
I didnt even have security essentials on my PC, all I use is Eset smart secuirty, and I had it completely closed down, shut down the process from task manager.
Alright, I went back and followed everything from scratch. Uninstalled Eset smart security, removed all of the HTC drivers, then reinstalled them, and started the process over completely
seems to have worked flawlessly so far, but I haven't tested the radio yet.
Edit: it works, flawless victory
You should realize that you may not completely kill the antivirus from process manager. You would need to shut it down from within the program. There are many processes running that are in task manager that belong to the antivirus, some which you may not recognize.

like I said in my above post, I completely uninstalled it, and everything works now.
I hope I'm not asking a bit much, but could someone showed me a detailed instruction set for my first time trying to install a new ROM on my droid?
I want to put Cyanogen on it, but have no clue how to go about doing so.

There's one stickied to the general section.
[For the life of me, I'll never understand how a thread that's stickied and should be so clearly visible, gets missed/ignored by so many people.]
Well I have it working for the most part, but I can't find the Kernal needed for Cyanogen 7.0.3(Is it included with the rom?), and would I need a different radio for it as well?

I would think that both the kernel and the recommended radio questions you ask would probably be addressed in that roms thread.
If not in the original post, then by someone asking in the comments.
I apologize if I seem like a complete idiot to this stuff, It just never really occurs to me to go searching for things like this, because 90% of the time when I try that in the past, it doesn't work for my specific issues.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, I'll go take a look through the rom thread.

I know, a lot of people feel the same way.
ROM threads are unique in that they are focused on the ROM in question. Comments/questions/answers are by/from users of that specific ROM.
I visit many of them, most of which I've never even flashed on my phone, just to get myself educated on little quirks that people are experiencing.

Cannot connect to One S with Windows XP

Hey Guys
I tried searching and saw a few people with my issue but no real solution. I just got a One S coming from Sprint (Evo4g) and enjoy the One S except for the no SD card thing. I have no issue connecting my phone to my windows 7 machine as a disk drive, but I have 2 computers at work with XP and both do not recognize my phone. I get a "USB device not recognized" message on my taskbar and when I click it, there is no driver installed for my phone. Same thing with both XP machines. OK, so I search the internet for an HTC USB driver, cant find one ANYWHERE, a few sites that seemed to have had them have removed them. HTC website is missing the One S support page entirely right now, awesome. So after I clicked around while I eventually found a link for HTC Sync software and tried installing that. Still no driver was installed and cannot connect that way either. At a loss here, any advice? If so does anyone have any links for actual things to install that can fix this issue?
Feel like a newb here but coming from the EVO i am very familiar with rooting, installing ROMs etc so find it hard to believe this is so difficult.
Thanks!
David
really nothing after a few days?

Maybe no one uses XP when there is nothing wrong with Windows 7 but if you rooted already you use Flash Image GUI for flashing boot.img then you wont need a PC to install a rom.

[Q] Can't update to 4.2 at all. Please help?

I've been browsing these forums all night and I for the life of me cannot just find a simple answer. This update came out a while ago and I had no idea about it, so hopefully someone can help me.
Literally, all I'm trying to do is upgrade to 4.2. I've never done anything at all to my phone, it's always been stock. I'm looking for help because the OTA won't work at all, it said I was on 4.1, so it checked for updates and downloaded like a 400mb file, and it turns back on and I'm still at 4.1??
I went to HTC's site and saw that I could just manually install it, but of course it's never that easy. I did all the steps exactly, but when it starts to download and gets to the black HTC screen, my computer always says it doesn't recognize it and can't install drivers (error 170), and then it fails to update. I've tried this on both machines that run windows 8.1. I feel like I've tried everything..I tried running it in different compatibility modes, run as admin, and then I read somewhere that you update it when you're on the fastboot screen. So I tried that but when I'm in the bootloader my computer doesn't recognize my phone at all.
I'm stuck on what to do at this point. I can borrow a computer that has windows 7 on it, if that would help at all. Any help is appreciated!
Not enough info. What carrier version is the device? What region/country are you in? What is your current software number (not Android version).
When you say "manually" update, I think you are talking about RUU. What is the RUU version (file name)?
WIndows 8.1 is probably your main issue with the RUU. Win 8.1 is not compatible with HTC drivers. Anything before 8.1 should work. But again, you need to provide more info.
Hey man thanks a bunch! I should've provided more info, although I just tried it using a windows 7 laptop and it worked with no issues thanks!
