Hi all. I've been trying to install app2sd on my Xperia X10 mini pro. I've successfully rooted my device, using z4root 1.3. After I followed steps you provided on one of your threads. I've partitioned my SD card (16GB) and copied all necessary files. However instaed of running the proccess from my PC, I've downloaded terminal portal onto my phone and made it run from there. In the description it is said that after all steps, (which by the way were exactly the same had they been run from PC) the phone should restart itself, which unfortunatelly it did not. Worse of all all my apps and even Market icon dissapeared. I managed to find that the files were there, only system could not detect them. Pissed off about the whole situation I've decided to reboot my device using software installer by SE. Since then I can't even root my phone. I've tried all possible solutions including z4root, andro root, super one click, none of them succeeded. Please can anyone tell me what is going on. I would love to have app2sd as this really good phone is given with such a annoying flaw, as 200MB of memory. Thanks
Hi all you wizards,
I had this now brick rooted and jiggling around it with uninstalling some preinstalled apps, but when I attempted to replace some fonts which was my main goal, it turned out that it was not really rooted!!! probably the rooting method and app was malicious. Then none of the apps could fully root it. Z4root followed by Superoneclick and Universalandroot have been tried, no chance but slow and unstable device. finally I decided to master reset. After this, a strange virus like fake warning sticks to the screen saying the battery cover is open and asking to restart! when I really open the cover another warning comes up that battery cover removed. phone is working in background. It responds to USB connection, even detects an update of ROM I copied to solve the problem but no chance.
Has anybody any idea to get it back to life by using PC as there is no direct interactions with the phone coz of the virus?
basically I prefer to get rid of the virus through SDK and ADB if possible although I am a mushroom and Dono how.
Is it possible to wipe off some infected data or I have to wash out all the ROM and install a new one?
I have another phone handy exactly the same thing, should I copy all data from other one to this one or the update version of original ROM would work?
it is Garmin Asus A50 nuvifone with built in full GPS and navigator; 256 ROM, 256 RAM, 600 MHtz CPU, ARMv6, android 2.1 update 1
Thanks so much in advance for any participation even your experiences without useful result
here is some more information about the matter;
I needed to install some fonts for other languages which are not supported by android
So I tried to use information and files to get my device rooted and replace some fonts in system/fonts directory and some files in system/lib directory to use other languages in my android.
1- I started with Z4root , I downloaded through device and installed it, and I uninstalled my antivirus as it always said it is not safe, so I activated USB debugging and then permanent root and I had the super user. I installed some apps and used them to uninstall some preinstalled app and similar issues. When I tried to replace fonts and files, my file explorer with root ability, it said I don’t have enough authorization or something to access the file, I tried more root file explorer but same result, even a root checker said my device is not rooted!
2- Then I tried UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5. Again I downloaded it through my device browser but it could not help as it said fails! I thought it is because of Z4root so I uninstalled Z4root but failed to root again.
3- I wanted to use pc method and root my phone by PC, even though this method was for android ginger bread and not my brand but as much as tried, my device did not show a recovery mode in start up by pressing power button and volume key but when I pressed middle key of arrow keys went to safe mode. so I ignored it.
4- Finally I downloaded the oneclick app through my device from the net. It was a zip file with so many files and super user, I just installed superuser but not helpful to replace font, then uninstalled.
5- Again installed Z4root but my phone was freezing and unstable so decided to master reset to factory setting. I did it once but after reset, nothing changed so I did it again. This time a warning sticks on the screen says;
” close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first time set up.”
and asks for restart.
There should be something wrong as when I really open the battery cover, another warning comes up and says; battery cover removed!
Phone is working in background, even I copied a factory update of my ROM and its been detected but the crazy warning does not let to do anything but restart!
Now I need help to show me how I can use my PC to reset my device as upon a usb connection it asks for interaction and lets me to work via usb cable, and then how I can go to recovery mode in start up?
Otherwise it is a brick, lol
it does not let me to do any interaction cause of the crazy warning. it asks for restart, thats all I can do, or other warnings like asking to do update or usb connection option or battery cover removed, but no more. it means I can not activate usb debugging if needed or follow update process through mobile UI. besides in this kind of phone there is no recovery mode but just something like "USB polling mode" and "safe mode." the warning is in safe mode too and I dono how to use "USB polling mode".
however the only option is ADB, and I do not have an backup of the rom but another simillar phone to make copy or the update file, if possible to copy them via ADB which I am dono how; like which commands and where to copy them?

found this but dont know how to adb .
but for sure on giving a missed call and following the idea in link u can use the phone but annoying error wont go away
I have the same problem but I cannot receive calls
Hello
A couple days ago I got a Garminfone from a friend, I use it mostly as a GPS only, because T-Mobile does not have any coverage in my country and I don't have the unlock code.
Yesterday I wanted to make a hard reset to start over, holding the D-pad left while powering on the phone, **WIPE USERDATA** appeared on the screen.
Everything was fine until it restarted, after the restart it showed the following warning: "Close the battery cover, and restart the device to complete first-time setup", the battery cover is closed and it does not let me do anything, the official ROM update does not install and If I do another hard reset the error persist and the phone does not make or receive calls.
Before this issue I got it rooted using z4root
Is it there anyway to update the device without using the update launcher from the phone?, or reinstall the 2.1 update using the usb cable via command prompt or any tool?.
I just want to get rid of this error and keep using the device as a regular GPS
Anyone can help?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Hello guys!
This is the first time I'm ever asking for an advice online so don't judge me too hard, I'm out of options, been googling for hours.
I have SE Xperia X10 mini (not pro). A while ago I rooted it and removed some annoying system apps. Removed the apps that were labeled as safe to remove by people who have done this before. As a result market stopped working, been trying to fix it but nothing seemed to help. Last option was a factory reset. Did that. Now I have a phone with no apps, cant access web, don't have a file manager, no music player, no nothing And market is still not working.
Only good thing is that now market is just stuck in "Starting download" position as before it had this annoying error message popping up.
I'm wondering is there a way for me to reinstall the phone completely with market not working and not having a file manager either?
Thanks in advance
P.S. I use ubuntu, but will figure out how to run win files soon. BTW might this thing with adb.exe + usb debugging help me install apps through USB, so I can atleast install file manager and then it would be easier to figure out what to do next?
Have you tried fixing with Sony PC Companion? I had a similar problem where I deleted some things I shouldn't have and PC Companion fixed it for me.
did you use sd-ext? because i have got the same problem which is i have to do partition again to ext3
Market is stuck whenever i try to download multiply files, but it was solved once it's upgraded to Play Store
and yes you can install applications via USB, just be sure to activate USB Debugging in Development menu, there is an windows application that allow mass apk installation, just search it
Thanks guys for your responses. School is intense now but once I'm done with all that workload I'll get to fixing my phone You really calmed me down by confirming that it is possible to install apps via usb Really much thanks, from this point on I'll manage
I believe this is the right area for this technical situation to be posted in. If not, I apologize.
Well, I have an AT&T HTC Inspire 4G and I've always wanted to root it but I guess I was just too lazy to do everything. After I found out you can root it this easily with SuperOneClick, I decided to try it out.
Moving onto my technical difficulties, I've downloaded the SuperOneClick v2.3.3 since that's what version I have on my phone, and after I rooted it, I rebooted and went to my applications to look for SuperUser and it was there but it was only an Android icon which symbolizes that its not installed, it's just a regular Android icon.
I deleted it and tried again, which obviously brought me to no luck. Before I rooted, I turned on USB debugging and unmounted my SD card as well. I also turned off my antivirus application on my computer so it would prevent any files that has been seen as a virus to not work.
I've searched google several times but I only found people who have other problems related to SuperOneClick but none like what I am experiencing. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong or if I am using the wrong software to root my phone? I could also provide the link I downloaded the SuperOneClick files to check if it was the right one with the right files included in the folder.
Thanks!
EDIT: I also tried downloading superuser from google play but the application wouldn't even open.
Hi, a while back I rooted my T-mo mytouch Q. It was fine for a while and I
enjoyed the benefits of having a rooted phone, but some problems I can't seem
to find the answer to occured. First off, I can't install my phone driver onto any
computer anymore. It says failed to install driver. At first I thought this was my
old computer's fault (it had vista) but now I got a brand new computer with
windows 7 and it is still a problem. Second of all, I uninstalled some system apps
I didn't seem to find a use for (browser because I used dolphin, some widgets)
and Titanium backup will not restore these apps (spins endlessly). I have tried
manually pushing them to the system folder but it wont allow me to. Any help
with either of these problems will be much appreciated.
