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?

xstingstreetx,
Can you give me more information?
Were you trying to root, or where you trying to do recovery?
Version of windows as well?

ahhhh!! I'm back 2 download it and.. well I'll wait again lol Thanks a lot for this..
I RUUed my phone and Wanted an easy way to re-root..

working?
other than the OP has anybody got this to work properly?

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.

Root and ROM for Chinese S810 S820 T9199+ MTK65x3 and other phones

If you have bought one of these phones from eBay or wherever as I did you will probably be struggling with all the annoying Chinese stuff (unless your Chinese of course) and trying to root and ROM it.
It is NOT possible to brick the MTK65x3 chipset phones so don't worry about breaking it if you have one of these. Some people are saying they have 'soft bricked' their MTK65x3 phones but that is only because they do not have the correct software to do what it is they are trying to do.
There is another method posted on XDA by a chap (or chapette) called 'bn' someone or other but I personally found it a very long winded, badly explained and difficault tutorial. I in no way am suggesting that 'bn' is not professional, he likely knows much more about this stuff than I but I didn't find he was very 'layman' friendly for us folke that need more detailed instructions.
If your reading this 'bn' I mean that with total respect and have a tool I have found called 'MTK ROM Studio' that I was hoping you may be able to help teach us how to use correctly to backup and modify our ROM images.
If anybody wants to ammend or correct anything I write here then please feel free to do so if you are sure of your method. I am not an expert at this but I can tell you how to easily do the following with software I am posting.
1. Root the Chinese MTK phones.
2. Install Uncle_Tools which is simular to Clockwork (CW does not work on some or all of these phones).
3. Uninstall all Chinese stuff from your current ROM at the touch of a button.
4. Download your own scatter.txt from your phone.
5. Download your own firmware information text document
6. Install BusyBox
7. Install Superuser
8. Backup your current ROM to your SD card.
9. Change IMEI 1
10. Change IMEI 2
Download the file I have posted at the bottom of this page and extract (Run) the 'MTKdroidTools_v106.exe' setup file.
The other file, 'ROM Studio' is for those that feel confident in using it to develop some ROM mods or whatever that they will hopefully let us know about. I am not going any further into that without help.
Open the MTKdroidTools folder and start (double click) the green MTKdroidTools.exe icon.
Don't be alarmed that some of the text is mumbo jumbo, just ignore it and read the English bits! I have converted some of the original Russian text to English but if anyone can clean it up please feel free.
In some or all cases (sorry I'm not sure) it may be required for you to pre-flash the recovery.img first. You may as well do this anyway and I have included everything you need in this file MTK65x3_Recovery_Flashing.rar (Sorry I no longer have this software)
The pictures explain it all. I hope this helps you out somewhat.

Are you sure your not using some naffy download manager as the link works fine when I click it.
If your trying to download this on your phone then don't, this is a Windows application that accesses your phone over USB

This mistake arose in Mozilla Firefox 12, Google Chrome 19, Internet Explorer 9, Opera 12 (computers). I suspect that a problem simply in the file name????

Sorry your quite right, a corrupted archive. I have uploaded it to my own website so please try again, it should be fine.
Also I have tried some of the other ROM's for download on here and they are not as good as the pre-installed one on mine. In my opinion your better off just deleting the chinese crap and tweaking your existing ROM.
Oh and I have mixed boot images and data files from different ROM's loads of times and black screened my phone but easily got it back again so I guess you really can't brick these! That's a first for me!

Thanks! Now everything managed to be downloaded!

Hi,
I think by 'bn' you'are talking about BM (Bruno martins, a portugues guy), who posted his work on:
- his website
- eten users forum
I already root my s820 using Unlock Root and installed SuperUser, But wanted to try you proposition, to remove chinese applications...
... but when I download your .rar, "MTKdroidTools_v106.exe" cannot be executed.
Am' I the only one who cannot launch it ?
Another think:
It exists a update.rar rom for T9199+ devices on the web:
(see on talkingmobi.com/?s=T9199&x=0&y=0, click on T9199 link, then click on the green button)
According to the date release (2011-10-28), I think this is the original rom of our devices.

The Droid Tools is a "7z.SFX.exe" which is basically a self extracting 7zip archive. You should be able to right click it and extract it with WinRar as I can. If not install 7zip and open it with that.
I have just downloaded my upload, extracted it and ran it and it works fine for me.
Droid_Tools_s810_s820_T9199+.rar

You're right : the second try was the good one !
I launched "MTKdroidTools" and created my scatter.txt
After test, It seems that the Root-Shell is obligatory to launch at each session to allow Device access,
But for me, like on your screenshot, the buttons "delete chines apps", "backup" etc... are not clickable...
(see image below)
I already test an other way to make a backup (by the recovery), but it appears several error messages:
"Error: names longer than 100 chars not supported"
is there an other mean to backup our device (perhaps TitaniumBackup... ) ?

Hmm... That's new!
You won't be able to use the Remove Chinese App's / Backup etc untill your phone has sucessfully rooted which is why those buttons are not clickable.
What I can think of to check so far:
1. Have you got USB debugging enabled? If not then turn it on and try again.
2. Pre-Flash the recovery.img by following this and don't forget to install the included drivers! Recovery_Flash as I did that before using this software.
Let me know how you get on!
I have just noticed that the scatter.txt included in my Recovery_Flash link is formatted slightly differently from the one in the phone. Maybe that is why the root works after, I dunno!

It's all Right !!
I had already :
- enabled USB debugging
- pre-flashed the recovery.img proposed by BM
So I just pre-flashed recovery.img using my new scatter.txt (which indeed is a little different that the one proposed by BM)... AND IT RAN ! (see image below)
Asta la vista Chinese App's & hello backup !
I found the original russian post where this "MTKdroidTools_v106.exe" has been proposed; it seems that it will still evolve... !

Cool, glad u got it to go bud.
Drop me a 'Thanks' if you would
Phill.

I have the s820 and I have done the procedure many times to install recovery. Writes ok in the end. I press power + vol+ and not start anything. When you start to retrieve the letters seem too little and the screen is black. I can not make any choices.

[Q] Precautions to take with root? re looming 4.4.2 OTA

There are how-tos from 2012 about using Voodoo to store root access (like squirrels storing their nuts for the winter) but is there a better way now? ... Am I wrong in anticipating a problem here?
9.18.94.XT926.Verizon.en.US with saferoot
Thanks

I wouldn't take the OTA until someone figures out a way to root the OTA, and that doesn't look very promising. Honestly, I don't think Voodoo will help out here, either.

For the unlocked fellows and fellowettes out there, it's as simple as 1) unrooting, 2) taking OTA, and 3) flashing SuperSU in TWRP / CWM to regain root access, correct?

As long as you haven't frozen or removed any other system apps, then yes. I usually just do a clean wipe and install with RSD Lite since I remove all kinds of crap when I use stock.
And yeah, you can always flash SuperSU in recovery if your bootloader is unlocked.
/e: On second thought, take that first sentence with a grain of salt. I realized I've never actually taken an OTA the traditional way with a custom recovery installed. It seems like that wouldn't work properly.

Holy cow, I am thanking you all over the place tonight! Such great useful information you have! I was wondering if you wouldn't mind explaining in a little more detail what you mean by "clean wipe and install with RSD Lite". I have a feeling I may or may not have deleted something important along the way. I know I have frozen things in TiBu (which I can defrost, update, and re-freeze or finally delete since this will be our last update from Motorola), and I don't think I have deleted any of the system files as of yet, but I am pretty certain I have modified system files (changing things in SystemUI, etc) for certain mods.
In case the modded files forbid me from taking the OTA, could you explain a little about how you clean wipe and install with RSD Lite?
After final install of KitKat (by whichever method), if I have clean wiped, I'll lose my photos, messages, etc, yes? Is there a way to save that stuff? TiBu backup of the "text messaging" app or the "gallery" app perhaps?
I promise you I am not thread-stalking you around XDA, but thanks again for all your time tonight!

RSD Lite is a software tool you install on your PC to flash Motorola phones in fastboot. If you ever see an fxz package (which I think stands for fastboot xml zip) they can be used by RSD Lite to basically restore your phone to stock. They usually come with a file with different sections that you can comment or uncomment if you only want to flash specific partitions (i.e. only the modem, or just the kernel).
There's probably a better solution for backing up, but I just use TiBu and then copy everything off my internal storage & SD onto my PC temporarily, then copy it back after. I do it so infrequently that I haven't bothered to figure out a better way, sorry.
/e: Meant to include this site, since it has lots of different firmware releases that you can use with RSD Lite:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5
If you have any other questions, let me know.

1.5) flash stock from custom recovery.
Note m recovery is in my button goodies. I think hd & m share the same img. Check the md5.

Voodoo root keeper will work for easy unroot but not for keeping root beyond 4.2.

I personally won't take the update until sometime figures out a way to have root in kit kat.

The best solution is to use SamuriHL's House of Moto tools. You must read, read again, and read one more time before installing and using the tool. Once it's set up correctly, it is very easy to use. You can get it here -> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto-20-for-now/
Read the OP in the thread first. Again, read it and then once more, as he states. The instructions are all there, but you have to read through them entirely before you attempt to use the tools.
I use this all the time when I'm ready to flash back to stock after being on a custom ROM when a new OTA comes out.
I use Titanium Backup to backup all my apps and data to my external SD card.
I use Backup to Gmail app to backup my call log, sms and mms messages so I can restore them later.
I backup my contacts and such to Google as well.
I use Listables to generate a list of the apps I had installed. I have so many that I sometimes forget which ones I used.
After that, I use HoM to flash back to stock and then reinistall TiBu to restore my apps.
Then, I use HoM to flash back the custom recovery (TWRP in my case) and flash root back onto my device (I'm unlocked so I don't have to use an exploit).
However, it would be best to hold off on root if you are wanting to obtain the OTA, unless of course you are using a locked device. Then, you might want to hold off until it's determined if there is a root exploit that will work.
Even though I'm unlocked, I'm going to wait and make sure they don't find a way to relock it. I don't believe they can since it was a physical change in the device (blown fuse - can't unblow it - is that a real word?)
That's it.

How does this gain root on the A9? Not sure if you're aware of the current issues with the device and TWRP, etc.

I researched it as best I could and it seemed that the process to root is to unlock through HTC, flash your TWRP build, wipe data to disable encryption, then flash the systemless SuperSU.

That's one way to do it, yes. There's also an alternative root option that doesn't require wiping data/disabling encryption - you might want to offer that as an option as well.

Ah, okay. I must've missed that somehow. I'll see if I can implement that option instead. Are there any tradeoffs for using that method over the current one?

You'd have to read the respective threads and make decide that on your own. It's really more a matter of preference than anything else.

Imo posting his tool again in the A9 forum is ok. When someone wants to unlock/root/flash their phones, they go to their device specific forum to finds the appropriate guides and tools, not in the Android Software Development section where the main thread of this tool is located. If it was only posted there, most of the A9 users will never know about the existence of this tool because ppl needing that tool to perform basic adb/fastboot commands are beginners that doesn't even know about the Android Software Development section. His tool currently support more than 130 devices, most of them having their own WinDroid thread so I guess this kind of "duplicated" threads are tolerated and appreciated. :good:

Used it twice, everything worked as it said up until the push SuperSu.zip, it says it pushed and booted into twrp, twrp shows mount decrypt password needed, i bypassed this and wiped data and went to install....no supersu.zip to install. I went ahead and formatted and redid process, same result. Not sure whats going on. Gotta be me. Ill keep trying. I gotta be missing something.

Well, finally got round to trying this, it's installed TWRP, when I go into that I get a screen 'Mount Decrypt Data' and it wants a password. No idea what to do from there

In the FAQ it tells you how to root (if that's what you're trying to do).

Worked
Thus work okay for me (a9), only thing different i did was after it pushed SU and rebooted I downloaded good and updated and all works great, I haven't tried to make a backup with twrp yet but going to see if it works this weekend. Does anyone know if there is a way to add or edit the power menu to boot into recovery with the power button, makes it easier to get to it.

Once you unlock the device it voids the warranty correct?

[FIX]Pokemon/Android Pay root on/off zips! 10/14/2016 CM13 Tested!

I was trying a few other mods that took me to installing apps to toggle root but needed special SU and all that jazz...I was not very comfortable with installing another app just to toggle it.
So I tried a terminal command way and it worked well, but remembering the commands and typing it in all the time sucked so I found an updater script that will work just the same.
Only bug is reverting back might take two flashes because of the mounting another folder. I might try and solve it when I have time but works flashing it twice.
The code I used makes it easy to know if it's working....look at theses screenshots of the recovery log

How this works:
The script will look at the folders bin and xbin where the su files are located so simply remaning them suBU will kill root and apps that look for root...the other script renames it back to su from suBU so rooted again on boot! Simple and clean!
To confirm you can flash them and get the nothing to message just to make sure!
If you have root in other folders and this does not work let me know and I will try and make special zips.
Hope this helps you CATCH 'EM ALL and use android Pay of course.

Seems this is the place I need to be for PoGo fix.
LG G2 d800. Custom LolPop ROM. Apparently I am no longer rooted, but the LP cust ROM must be causing the PoGo "not compatible". Have tried a few suggestions to no avail. Cant access TWRP anymore either. Any ideas?

Oh man no TWRP access, you need recovery or you could root then use a terminal app and do these commands to find and hide the files they check for.
I got that from G+ so no credit to me for that, and it inspired my script.
Reboot after done

Okay, used Kingroot, but It's acting kind of funny. I think it's rooted. At least it passed root checker app twice. Then tried to use Flashify to flash TWRP img. 2.8.6 which was on there as my recent recovery image. Tapped boot into recovery and the LG logo with the boot certificate error came up. I thought I was screwed, but hit power button, and it did a regular boot into Lolli.
I'm nervous about messing with it. Last thing I want is another brick. Is there a way to check for sure that TWRP is on there successfully?
And if it is, and if I am rooted, You're saying that entering all of that code into terminal command will work and allow Pogo? Sounds too good to be true. I'm sure I'll find another new and unusual way to brick that I haven't done yet...

Does this do the same as if I went into the file through ES File Explorer and delete the su out of xbin? That trick worked for me over the weekend after I flashed CM13 and MM. I think I read somewhere it only works on CM13.

If you boot recovery then it's safe now. Yes that script worked on non systemless root but I got lazy and made zips to do the same thing in recovery. While Android is running I wouldn't delete Root files..Just a bad feeling. I go to recovery for all system files just for piece of mind lol

Someone suggested renaming the files, instead of deleting them. Also, I don't want MM. I prefer LP. Do you know if I can flash CM 13 and run Lollipop on it?
I'm still really new to all this.

My script does rename them inside the zip, I just got the idea from that pic on G+. CM13 is Marshmallow though lollipop would be CM12....I recommend whatever runs good on your device. I use CM13 but I'm a Nexus user.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I just wasn't a fan of MM when I used it for a day last weekend, plus PoGo would freeze for a second or two every time I caught one. Anyway, thanks for your feedback. Maybe someone will come up with a workaround, or maybe those Niantic F"ers Will come to their senses and stop their idiocy of blocking innocent root users.

Hi @djdarkknight96, could please help me on my HTC Desire 620? I successfully flashed the PokerFix.zip file, however after rebooting, Android Pay still identifying the device as rooted, unlocked bootloader or running a custom ROM...any ideas? Many thanks in advance.

I'm using Magisk now, this mod only worked on Cyanogen mod 13 but Magisk is great and gives root and safety net passes.
