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.

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.
So I just got the latest version of CM7 for my Droid 2 Global and apart from all of the awesomeness there seems to be a fairly big problem: my pc will not recognize my phone being connected. It used to work (I used it to unbrick my phone, flash CM, root my phone, unroot it because GB raped my root, and I just used it to charge my phone on a daily basis). I've looked for this issue everywhere, and I either can't find somebody that has the same issue, or the way they resolved it doesn't work for me. What's interesting though is that if I plug in my phone then reboot it, my pc recognizes it... But if I unplug it, my pc won't recognize it if I plug it back in again. Hopefully this is simple enough that I can solve it (with anybodies gracious help of course) but not too simple that I feel stupid (even though I know almost nothing about what I'm actually doing).
Any helps and/or flame is greatly appreciated.
You probably would have much more luck solving this problem by heading to the forums where people actually work on this CM7 port.

I don't know about the above advice, but,
I do know that I have read many many posts where the problem was resolved by getting the most recent drivers for your device. Unfortunately, I don't have a link to these to post, and I am not sure this will solve your problems but...

It's not a problem with the latest drivers. It works fine when the phone is connected to the computer and then the phone is restarted. When it comes back up it is recognized perfectly fine. It's definitely something wrong in the build.
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.

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.

This thread is a continuation of some of the discussion that was from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568427
While not at all high end tablets, it's always fun to see what can be squeezed out of them! As stated in the title, this thread will be regarding the following devices: Nobis NB07, Iview 774TPC, and DA-741QHD (which all appear to be the same hardware) rooting and ROMs. That should be pretty simple for now since, we currently have no ROMs and no proven root method. Some have reported success using the Kingoapp. If anyone is able to obtain root, we would like to ask that you make a copy of the firmware and upload it for those of us having trouble doing so. After doing so, we can modify it and hopefully get more our of the software.
You may also post information regarding tweaking the ROMs for these devices and other ways to make them more useful!
Warning: The following may have unforseen effects including breaking your tablet to the point of being unrepairable.
Option #1, Use KingoApp Some users have reported that this did not work for them, at least one user reported that it did.
Instructions per RawX:
For the drivers the easiest method is just using Top Notch Tablets How to install ADB drivers. That worked on the first one, the second one it didn't not entirely sure why, but you can send a email to support and ask them for development drivers for the nobis tablets and they will send the ADB drivers you need. After you have the drivers installed use kingo while the tablet is in usb debug mode BEFORE plugging it into your usb port and do not turn on usb transfer. the first time after it reboots kingo will report that it was not rooted, leave it plugged in and power off and back on and it should report the root worked. This method gives you SuperSU. Both times. I've done this were for clients of mine but its pretty straight forward.

The working drivers for me were: VID_1f3a_PID_efe8
Please consider trying this first and give us some feedback. A word of warning though, there has been some discussion on XDA in the past that this may be malware though I'm not sure this was ever confirmed.
Option #2, Flash firmware for an alternate device that can be rooted easily. Warning!!! Currently, there is no way to get back to stock (until someone who gets root with another method makes a copy of the firmware)
Go to this website: http://www.iviewus.com/firmware788TPC/ and download the firmware. Yes, it is for another tablet. However, the tablet appears to have the same specs as ours. Once downloaded. Install the included PhoenixSuit software. Once it is running, click the button at the bottom right to update the software to the newest version (this may not be required). Then, plug in your tablet using the usb port and install the drivers. I used google and found them all within minutes. Once the software recognizes your tablet go to the firmware tab where you have extracted the .img file and select the file. Next, click upgrade to upgrade your tablet (it has instructions to help your tablet be recognized if you are having difficulty). Once the new firmware has been flashed, then download the file RootFromOTA.zip that can be found on various places such as XDA. Move the file onto an external SD card. Then, go to settings -> backup & reset -> Recovery Mode. Your tablet will restart. Once it does, select the bottom option to install from SD card. Install the RootFromOTA.zip and then reboot. Once rebooted, install the supersu app or another root application of your choice.

Congrats... You're rooted.
Mods
Currently, I've managed to get great battery life out of my tablet by installing kernel tuner and changing the settings as such:
Governor: Ondemand (default is fantasys)
Max: 1200 MHz (Default is 1200 MHz)
Min: 240 MHz (Default is 120 MHz, but I had trouble with usability at this setting and Ondemand)
I also recommend setting wifi to turn off when the screen is off and turn off autosync.
This seemed to give me a very useable system but with greatly improved battery life. Doing the above and a few other tweaks here and there have made my battery life so that it drains by about 1% overnight when not in use. I also seem to get better battery life while using the tablet. I haven't had any trouble playing games either.

And also, do you have a link to the drivers you used off hand or what did you search for to find them?

Nope, still haven't gotten the camera working. We are missing some config files still. Do you need the camera drivers or the tablet drivers?
The camera drivers are : sp2518 and sp0838, though I also see a module being loaded called cam_detect
I don't recall where I got the adb usb drivers for the tablet, but it would probably be a good thing to mention in this thread so if you have them, let me know and I can add it to one of the top posts. If you're having trouble finding them, I'll remove my drivers and go back through the process to find them again.
Looking for the tablet drivers. I am about ready to tap out on this thing for a while. lol Its driving me crazy.

OK. The drivers I used were probably: VID_1f3a_PID_efe8 (or something similar)
You can either google that or try downloading the firmware for TP718AQ here: http://www.agptek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=948
Remove all prior drivers for the tablet. Plug it in and tell Windows to use the drivers from the extracted file you download (Will extract to TP718AQ_Update_Firmware\USB Driver).
Sometimes I have to do a little dance with restarting the device and my computer to get it to recognize it.
As a last resort you could try this: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...r-solves-your-adb-driver-problems-on-windows/
Let me know if you have any problems.
Good Luck!
Ok, I officially give up trying to root this thing. Stupid windows will not install the drivers in both the links you provided and I cant get windows to even try to install anything after removing them then I got the android ADB drivers to install but still zero luck. All rooting apps fail. Hopefully someone will post the image of their rooted NB07. A few claim to have rooted it just fine but I cant win with this thing.
All I want is to be able to run link2sd and a few other apps that require root. This is officially the longest I have owned an un-rooted android device. lol
I'm the one that got the root working using kingo, so for the drivers the easiest method is just using Top Notch Tablets How to install ADB drivers ( I would post a link but I don't have 10 posts yet on XDA)
That worked on the first one, the second one it didn't not entirely sure why, but you can send a email to support and ask them for development drivers for the nobis tablets and they will send the ADB drivers you need.

This method gives you SuperSU. Both times I've done this were for clients of mine but its pretty straight forward.
Well, I have decided that for now this tablet of mine is un-rootable. I must have tried with 5 or 6 different drivers about 20 times with each with Kingo. I even tried that other program that is all in Chinese that loads some BS app on to your phone with no luck. So, for now, I am going to give up but if anyone has any other ideas or wants me to try something or they have for sure figured out how to root it, let me know as I am happy to help the best I can.
Edit: Oh yeah, Dont know how much this will help anyone but here is some more specific specs on the Nobis NB07 tablet I pulled off it with Hardware Info 3.0.0. Feel free to put the link in the first or second post if you want. Maybe it will help a little bit more.

Thanks to the work of someone on another forum, I have now got TWRP working on our device and am hoping we will soon have a CM working on it as well. Check back in the near future for further details. Maybe if you can't have a rooted stock, we can get a fully functional CM.
I am assuming you need to have root to flash the TWRP recovery correct. This is good news. Would love to have more info on it. Are you working with people on this site or another site? I would love to follow along.

On another site for now. Just PM's at the moment so not much to follow yet. But, all you'll need is the Phoenixsuit to install it, so you won't have to root your tab first. You'll have root on the new ROM. You'll have to have drivers fully working though. Once fully working I'll link to the site so people can get the files and hopefully we can get this guy some donations for his work.
Awesome! I would go right to CM on this and skip the whole rooting the stock firmware. Would be nice to be able to root the stock firmware though then things would be so much easier. Think the camera will be working on the CM build? If not no big deal but would be nice to have them working.
Keep me (us) posted on the progress.

Not sure about the camera yet. I have CM booting but no touch yet, so this will be the first task. I'll keep everyone posted.
Any word on getting things to work yet?
Currently, we have CM working with no touch screen/camera. I'm not sure what else all isn't working because I'm waiting on my OTG cable to come in for further testing to see what all is going to be required to get the touchscreen going. Right now, it appears we my be looking at compiling our own drivers which could take some time to do. I think we'll get it eventually, but it may take some time. If you don't need touchscreen or camera, it could be working right now.
Sorry for no updates for a while. My work has been delayed on this since I have a son who is sick and in the pediatric ICU. I'll get back to work when things calm down for me.
No worries man. Family first.
Just a question, Hippie...
On the original ROM, can you see your device in ADB? If you can, and type "adb shell" do you get root? If you have adb access but not root, can you try typing sh and see what happens?
Also, could you try loading the rootfromOTA.zip and see if you can get a printout of the error log if possible?
Also, I tried installing this from the recovery on a similar ROM and it acted like it failed. I went back into the ROM and used adb and was able to get root using vroot or kingo...I don't remember which. This may be worth a shot.
Interestingly, I have been looking for alternative ways to root and found this (but we need to find a way to get to the bootloader):http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Rooting
I think that the method to get to bootloader is to turn off the tablet, then hold down the back button while tapping the power button 5 times. But, I also googled and found a method for getting to fastboot from adb in android without root as well which may work.
Hi Everyone,
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S3, and unfortunately I broke my volume up key so I cannot get the phone into recovery mode.
I can, however, get into download mode. Unfortunately, when I run lsusb, the phone is not listed.
What can I do here?

Are you running Ubuntu? If so what version? I think 11.04 was the last version of Ubuntu that made connecting to the gs3 as easy as plugging it in. Now you need to jump through a couple hoops to connect. That is one of many reasons I moved to arch Linux. I should add you need to jump though hoops on arch as well but at least they don't claim to be user friendly and I like being on the bleeding edge.

I'm running Slackware but the problem was simply that the USB port I was plugged into is not working. As soon as I switched to another port, everything worked OK.
Now i have another problem - whenever I try to install a ROM that is d2lte it fails. I can install d2vzw just fine, but these are missing gapp. I tried to install gapp in order to update TWRP, but that's not working because all the gapps are for d2lte.
Nevermind, I completely missed the dd write method for installing TWRP. That was painless. Now I will install a good ROM for my needs. Thanks.
