So, I have scoured the forums and have not yet found a solution to my current problem.
I was able to originally root my phone using the moto-fastboot method that has been posted on these threads several times to root my phone. Upon rooting I installed some standard applications to remove bloatware and toy with some of the hardware settings. I worked great. I got a little bit too confident and decided to put a custom rom on it without properly backing up(I thought I did).
So I got stuck into bootloop. Upon searching your extremely handy and helpful forums I found a way to install a new sbf and unbrick my phone using RSD lite. The operating system in now working, but it will not make or receive phone calls or data.
Possibly pertinent information:
System version: 45.0.43.MB867.ACG-nTelos.en.US (this is probably way off)
Model: Milestone X2
Android: 2.3.6
Baseband: N_03..13.56P
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-00011-gbc368b9 [email protected] #2
Build Number: 45.0.43
ERI: Version 5
PRL: Version 21100
My Phone number: 000-000-5761 (obviously not correct)
MIN: 0000005761
MEID: A000002C5D4811
Network: nTelos (I have no idea where that network even is)
Signal Strength: -101dBm 0 asu
Mobile network type: CDMA -1xRTT
Service State: In Service
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
I tried again to root my phone to try to put a custom rom on it, but when I try the moto-fastboot method upon entering the command thru abd shell /preinstall/su I get the error "Permission Denied". I have tried the superoneclick method, Pete's method, z4 root, and droid 3 easy root. I am at quite a loss here on what to do next.
Does anyone know of a way I could maybe use the default android recovery to install the proper rom for my phone and where to get the proper rom?
Alternatively, does anyone know where I can get the proper sbf file for the CSpire Motorolla Milestone X2?
I have been searching for a few days, so please don't get mad if I have overlooked a thread. I was very hesitant about posting this thread because I am not a very active member of your forums and I wanted to make sure I searched a lot before asking the same question over again.
I am not saying the problem I am having is completely unique, but I have not seen anyone with my problem. Since my phone is currently useless as a phone I am willing to try a lot more methods.
Update: I have successfully rooted my phone again using this method:

Given that I now have root access are there any new options to get my phone to work?
should post in DX2 forum, may get better help
I am going to close this thread per advice and move to another forum section.

Hi
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S through Optus here in Australia. Like many others, the phone is running frustratingly slow. After reading many articles on this, I have decided to root the phone, then run the one click lag fix. Rooting will also allow me to use Titanium Backup which I am keen to do.
I am very new to all this phone stuff and so far, every rooting method I have tried has failed to work (2 methods involving downloading an update.zip, one automatic method through a PC). I think this may be because my Australian phone is slightly different to the galaxy's that the root guides were created for.
My phone specs are:
Build number: Froyo.DTJP5
Baseband version: I9000DTJP3
Firmware version: 2.2
I'd greatly appreciate anyone who can point me in the right direction for applying root to this phone. Or if anyone thinks there is a better option for speeding the phone up, please let me know.
you can either apply a one click lag fix (available in the market) or follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
I have an uncommon problem with rooting my new Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE. I live in Poland and bought the phone from Hongkong (btw I have some doubts about originality of this device). I've been trying everything to break the root access, but I failed every time. At the moment I loaded Android 4.0.4. with Odin (Phone wouldn't update automatically so I found the update on the Internet).
MY DEVICE Baseband: SHV-E120L.FG11.1351.LT
Firstly, I've been trying just to use SuperOneClick, which crushes just after clicking "ROOT". It can't even recognise my device connected via USB. Then I tried flashing custom ROMs/Mods with Odin, but I couldn't find software matching to my baseband (I don't know if it matters). I also failed to load any recovery (I still can't find how to flash .img files, while i don't have sdcard). Besides I have been doing lots of internet research and nothing matches my problem. After a week of spending about 2h daily trying to root the phone I went to service point, where they told me there is hardly anyone in Warsaw, who would be able to root my device, because it was bought from abroad and they don't have proper equipment to do that... (?)
As you see I'm in lost position, at least one of you had similar problem and know how to fix it. I'm very desperate to root my phone because I've got tons of korean U+ bloatware and I have this "no caller ID" problem with messages... Also this model has shorter battery life than I was expecting, so I hope to be able to load kernel, managing processor voltage.
Waiting for replies asap!
I'm new to XDA so please forgive me any slips. I didn't find a section for this exact device and I hope here is the right place to put this thread.
Ok here we go thank you to whoever takes the time to answer these sorry if I sound uneducated in this field but I have no idea what I am doing really.
1) I am running a Galaxy S4 through Koodo (Canadian) sgh-i337m baseband I337MVLUFNE1 the build number is the same but with KOT49H. added to the front of it, my question is is it possible to unlock my bootloader I've seen posts about AT&T locking theirs or something and I wasn't sure.
2) Secondly I've rooted my phone using Odin and how can I tell if my bootloader is unlocked? (keep in mind im not too tech savvy with the android OS yet)
3) What would happen if I flashed Cyanogenmod onto my device and it wasn't unlocked? I bought ROM Toolbox pro
4) How do I go about doing anything in recovery mode everytime I go through it shows a dead android guy and doesn't give me many options?
5) How do I change my boot screen, I tried a few methods but I don't think I am deodexed (which i don't know what it means really) and it tells me i cant change themes etc with ease, when i tried that x-(something) program to deodex my device it couldn't detect the device through the usb or it took ridiculously long and I quit out.
Thank you very much to whoever can help me out, I'm not sure where my Koodo GS4 falls in relation to canadian GS4's etc so I don't want to mess it up.
I had found a working root for this phone, I think through this forum, but I am now unable to find it again. I had to restore a backup on my Mac due to using OS X Yosemite beta and couldn't use it anymore due to the amount of problems I encountered. So I no longer have the history in my browser.
My phone is a Sprint-branded ZTE Flash N9500 but purchased through Kroger iwireless, an MVNO of Sprint. I *think* what I used was one of Bin4ry's apps or shell scripts or something. I had been having issues with cell signal all day today so I was troubleshooting the phone and did a factory reset which of course un-rooted the phone.
The major issue I am having with finding a workable root guide is that I use Mac OS X, not Windows or Linux. I downloaded Root_With_Recovery_by_Bin4ry_v33 but it is not going as planned. I think what I used last time was v32 or v36 but I downloaded the linked file via the forum post here in XDA-Dev's but the file is corrupt or something. It is a never-ending cycle of zip and cpgz that just I can't do anything with. I thought that was the one, but perhaps OS X Mavericks isn't able to natively decompress the file whereas Yosemite beta could.
Info about my phone:
ZTE N9500
Android 4.0.4
Baseband version: N9500B01
Kernel version: 3.0.8-perf-svn22621
[email protected]
SW Version: N9500V1.0.0B18
HW Version: c7zA
If you could point me in the right direction to be able to re-download the correct (or A correct) root guide for this phone along with files that will work, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi,
I can't find a mac guide for your device. You could ask for help in this thread. It's in the ZTE Blade section.... But it's a non-blade Q&A thread.
>*ZTE Blade*>*Blade General*>*[Q&A] All ZTE non-Blade questions go here
Good luck!
I have read threads all day and tried to use a few ways to root my phone but i keep getting failures or some error warnings (not real errors)

I am on Verizon S3 - 535, v4.4.2, NE1 (last kernel update may 20th) Build VRUDNE1
I tried ONIN and it failed - could not even get boatloader to go through....

I have versions 1 & 3 of towelroot. The first version may work better. Do you have an international sim card or are you still attempting to use the vzw one?
From my Wicked S3 running MIUI

I was able to actually root it with Kingo Root
The only other issue is still getting the message SIM not recorgnized even though the phone, data and text are working on the local network. I have configured the APN to point to the carrier but the message still pops up when i reboot or if my phone is in idle mode
