I have the slyvania 7" android 2.1 tablet..........Ok i see universal androot has worked on this device. Where is a link or instructions please. Second question if i root is that like unlocking a windows mobile device. And if so can you use a rom update utility to flash a new os say like cyanogen running android 2.2 with flash is this possible. I have unlocked and flashed phones before windows mobile i would think the same principals would apply here since its a similar device can any one help me? I know that on the htc touch pros you can download haret for android 2.2 and use gen y dual boot loader. Cant something like that also be placed on this there has to be a way even if you root and someone has the galaxy tab image that could be flashed on so full 2.2 and flash 10.1 and official android market. And those haret files have a working google market..
Hi all,
I have been expereinced many issues whenever I tried to update my firmware to the newer version using the Kies for Mac. I encounterd your version is still up-to-date when I tried to install using my older desktop.
The device has not been "rooted" and I would prefer to stick to the Androit ROM. The build number now is ECLAIR DTJG4 and kernel is 2.6.29 root
I just got my new new notebook and running XP OS. To ensure a clean and smooth steps, can someone advise me the correct steps (software & sequence fo events) to install to achieve the outcome. I am not sure if I can go straight to Ver 3.0 or have to update one by one and if newer ROM is required.
Thank you.
I bought a rooted Samsung Replenish last week off Ebay. I had trouble activating it, so I had to call in to Sprint to get it activated. After doing a factory reset on the phone, it finally activated. But now there is an update available and I have found conflicting info as to whether or not updating it to GB would brick it. Does anyone here have any firm answers on whether or not attempting to update it would brick it?
Additional info:
I think it has a custom ROM on it, as the About Phone specs are:
Android Version 2.2.2
Baseband Version S:M580.06x.ED23
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build LeafRom 0.2-Beta
When the screen comes up, it displays 4 penguins and has "ShabbyMod" at the top.
Any assistance is appreciated.
not sure how to update for you, but LeafRom is a custom rom, google that and look into it, maybe there is an update?

Any updates?
did you try the OTA update? did it work?
LeafROM is a custom ROM possibly still Beta, I think at this point it was released almost a year ago and since the current Replenishes are shipping with GingerBread 2.3 it may be a tad behind.
I found mention of it HERE
also try ACS they have been doing some work on the replenish, looks like there may even be a CWM for it..

Yeah me too.
Anyone of you guys is on 3 Australia?
I am tempted not to upgrade so I don't get into trouble rooting.
I wanted to wait to make sure there is root available before upgrading it.
here is a nice (though elaborate) guide to downgrading your rom so you can root it: theunlockr.com/2011/10/25/how-to-downgrade-the-g2-desire-z-desire-hd-and-mytouch-4g-back-to-froyo/
it's not the easiest guide, but it works from my experience.
still nothing happens
tried many tools, seems new HTC official 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 is patched against all available rooting methods, should wait a bit longer for a new tool to root
although there are some "HTC stock 2.3.5" that are rooted, but it requires removing the original os and replacing this one, such as:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235&page=12
if any one finds how this os was rooted plz help us, so we could root our existing os instead of replacing it
Hi all. New to the forum and brand new at rooting android phones. After a lot of reading and searching and trying I managed too achieve root last night on my Desire hd running 2.3.5 using the Ace Advanced Hack Tool. It took a few attempts for the phone to accept the downgrade. I had to run the hack tool several times to achieve this. In the end as the effin manual says I had to turn off all anti virus and close non essential programs. I also removed any anti virus apps from my phone. I don't know if it was coincidence or not but I was about to give up and had unplugged the USB cable and was in the bootloader menu about to reboot when all of a sudden it read the zip file on the SD card and downgraded the ROM. After that ran the Hack tool again and Now rooted, S off and Custom ROM (CM7) installed. One other quick thing, after installing CM7 on boot up it went into a boot loop. After searching found out you have to clear/reset factory settings and clear cache in custom recovery before flashing a new ROM. Hope this helps.
edit - forgot to mention I had the bootloader unlocked from HTCdev site but re locked it just before the downgrade started working.
Hi ALL,
Have you tried The Advanced Ace Hack Kit by attn1?

People it really works flawlessly...; just re-lock your bootloader if unlocked from HTCdev.com and use an empty, clean sd card... andof course read all the manual. Then you can let show begin They did such a BIG AND PERFECT work! i'm Amazed and impressed! thank's a lot people who made this possible.

RE: Rooting HTC Desire
Personally, I find SuperOneClick to work very well!
people
this STILL is not working..i am trying to use the AAHK kit
i have read the manual
i am now using a computer that has nothing but winXPpro and the htc drivers installed that came from the AAHK, no anti virus, no anti-malware, no apple sh*t, NOTHING ELSE
all i can think of is that my phone IS running one of the build versions that requires a downgrade as mentioned in the manual (details listed in my original post)
or
i DO have a HTC Dev Bootloader and its not locked as mentioned in the manual
i know nothing about locking or unlocking bootloaders, but Ive been to HTCDev, registered, logged in and tried to follow that process as follows:
i select my phone HTC DESIRE HD* (there is an asterix because "* Indicates HBOOT update required.")
continue through disclaimer and agree etc
download PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
when i run PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe i get error saying i need to upgrade to 3.13.707.3 (On your phone, go to Menu>Settings>About phone> Software updates> CCheck now.
After you have updated,please run the RUU again to upgrade your HBOOT to unlock
Your phone. We apologize for the inconvenience)
i check for updates and there are no updates available for your phone
this is a staggeringly difficult and im really quite f*cked off i really cant see what im not doing, or, where to go from here
other people in asia seem to be having the issue with this phone, i found this website which google translated and it contains the EXACT steps i have taken please have a look
but of course, no i cant paste url's in here because i havent had 10 posts...honestly wtf
if you care to email me ill send you the link

Hi All,
The short of a long story is that I just changed carriers and found out way late that I couldn't bring my Sprint phone to MetroPCS. So now I'm using the budget PCS On5 that came with the deal when we signed up.
I successfully loaded TRWP and then rooted however, I didn't know about FRP until it smacked me in the face. The root went fine but later SU prompted me to update the binary and when it did, it tripped factory reset protection and soft bricked my phone.
I want to reinstall stock OS on this phone but it appears that I have a software version that I haven't been able to find on the web yet. I found the stock rom for the MetroPCS On5 easily enough but it's Revision 0.0 and the box I have for the phone says REV0.4.
When I try to Odin Flash the REV0.0 version, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 fail. So I guess I had the latest software on my phone and the phone thinks I'm trying to roll back using the 0.0 revsion.
My question is this, does anyone here have the stock rom for G550T1 REV0.4? Help!
If nobody does, maybe I can still fix this phone. I have a TRWP backup from the sister phone (same model same revision 0.4) that I'm using right now but I can't get back into TRWP on the soft bricked phone to recover that way to use the backup file.
Next I thought I might take the backup files and turn it into a rom and just flash that. However, with the tutorials I followed I kept running into problems. When I went to unpack the files per the tutorial, my rar software said that the file was corrupt. Maybe it is. but maybe not. It was my first time attempting to make a rom. If I can't find the software I need, could any of you Android geniuses help me get this backup into a flashable format?
I have to admit I'm daunted by the FRS in 5.0 and above. Is it defeatable? How do you root newer Android versions?
Thanks!
I did the same thing to my phone. did you get yours fixed?> if so could you provide me with the rom?
I haven't found the fix yet. Hopefully somebody will come through with a helping hand!
I finally got it figured out! So here is what i did and hopefully it will work for you.
1. I Odin flashed a good BL from the ROM REV0.0 floating around on the net. So at least I could now get into download mode.
2. Then I used Kies3 > Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. It will ask you for your model number and then when you click ok it will ask you for a SN.
3. The trick is that Samsung doesn't put the SN that you need on the phone or the box. (personally, I couldn't find it on the phone either once I got it up and running) so go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-samsung-galaxy-on5-t3435457/page46 and get a SN from post #454 and use that. (don't forget to say thanks)
4. Click Ok. Let it work, and max and relax.
Mine took about 10 minutes. Hopefully this will work for you too! Thanks XDA!
Help!
What is BL from the ROM REV0.0? I need your help, I have the MetroPCS On5 and I installed Reborn ON5 I want to go back to the MetroPCS ROM because the camera and the audio do not work and I tried to install the original ROM through Odin but it does not work I get an error. What I can do? I would like to use this method but I do not have very clear files needed.
You could help me bro, I'll thank you
