方法二：
大家现在的ROOT方法是要解BT锁，但都知道解BT锁会影响底层性能，用段时间会导致偶尔卡顿触屏不灵等现象，这都是因为第三方BT锁的兼容性引起的，下面说说我个人的见解及步骤：
1、先把已经刷好国际版并解锁ROOT后的系统用RE备份一个，后面有用
2、再刷移植版的4.04
3、按照移植版的ROOT方法先把手机系统给ROOT了
4、不要解锁刷入RE(注意必须是不要解锁状态下刷入RE)
5、再把第1步备份的国际版系统恢复到手机里
6、后面该怎么做大家应该都知道了吧
因为本人这段时间工作太忙，连4.04都没时间刷，怕因为手机影响工作，所以还得需要有时间折腾的机油努力
又想到了另一种方案：
1、刷好国际版并解锁ROOT（这一步相信大部分机油都已经做了）
2、用救砖工具刷回官方的BootLoader（或者把救砖工具里的LG官方BT文件，扩展名为bin，替换掉解BL锁工具的目录里替换，再用解锁工具去再一次解锁，实际是刷回官方的BT文件）
下图中左边是救砖用的LG官方BT文件在omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.16压缩包里，右边是第三方的兼容BT文件在[All-In-One][P920]压缩包里，把左边的文件刷回系统去就相当于把BT锁还原到官方了

It is now the ROOT method is to BT solutions for lock, BT but knows solution locks from affecting the underlying performance, period of time can lead to occasional phenomena such as cotton touch screen not work, BT this is because third parties caused by the compatibility of the lock, talk about my personal views and steps below:
1, International Edition has a good brush and unlock the ROOT system after RE back up one, followed by useful

Because I work this time too busy, no time to brush even 4.04, because mobile phones affect work, efforts also needed time to toss the oil
Thought about another scenario:
1, good brush International Edition and unlock the ROOT (this step to believe that most of the oil has already been done)
Saving bricks for 2, tool brush back to the official BootLoader (or BT files saving brick tools in the LG official, a bin extension, replacing BL lock tool replacing the file in the directory of the solution, then unlock the tool to unlock again, is actually a brush back into the BT official documents)

Method 1 (will be improved later too):

After a whole day of toss finally successfully, will share experiences of friends, I guess there are not people, enter the subject,
1. I followed the success of this method. You can follow this post step by step http://BBS.gfan.com/forum.php?mo ... 3421&extra=page%3D1
Tools are as follows: 1, BL lock tool download solution http://pan.Baidu.com/share/link?shareid=196317&UK=1076531750
After extraction will be ICSv21e_boot this file
Remove phone batteries, insert computer USB,
Computers and cell phones has been called, computer display new hardware 4,430, update driver, which has 4,430 drive, download, unzip to 4430 usb_drv_windows.rar (4.59 MB)
(Download count: 50 yesterday 18:10 upload)!attachcredits!:G coin-1
Everyone's problem may appear here: (install 4,430 drive opens the Device Manager first, pull the battery, plug the line, staring at 4,430 occurs when, immediately right-click the 4,430, select Properties, Driven--update driven then next--from list or specified location installed then next--do not search I to themselves select I to installed of driven then next---double-click displayed so equipment--click from disk installed--click Browse--found just download of 4,430 driven file android_winusb then next--way determines, on installed finished has, 4,430 driven on loaded finished, front of yellow exclamation mark on no has, 4,430 still keeps flashing after installed, do not cares, because the yellow exclamation mark has gone. Open brush program, plug in the data cable will not Flash! ) This time you can open the ROOT software had begun to ROOT.
Driver installation is completed, open the kit, run ICSv21e_boot.bat.
Option 1: brush ICS bootloader and brush into the recovery, brushing this can be brushed directly corresponds to the ICS brush packages
2 options: brushed 21E bootloader and brush into the recovery, brush the brush can be brushed directly corresponds to the cm,2.3 card package
When we choose 1.
Appears "wait 5 seconds" immediately fitted the battery, wait a moment,
Computer displays have a piece of hardware does not drive, manually install the drivers (driving steps and 4,430 drive, I drive the same file).
When the interface displays Your P920 is ready to boot into GB again. Reboot. When
Phone manual reset.
When you have a touch-screen version of the recovery have already been brushed, unlock, and BL.
Well BL solutions after the lock, enter just flush touch-screen version of the RECOVERY, enter: reloading battery was taken out, according to 3D+ volume + power, bright screen after release, LG icon disappears, release d and the volume.
Some are copy-and-paste, easy operation, infringement of your understanding. Hope that we will be successful.
Tool failure, each post has, we speak to, I'm not going to upload.

You don't even need a prerooted rom.
You can flash official v28b and on top of it flash 1.25a wkparks bootloader and twrp.Then in twrp you flash su and it's done.
Xbsall made a good rom but I like stock better so...

You missed the point man.
I didn't say anything about your prerooted rom, I just said that there is an easy way to get the stock rom rooted if you want.
Some people like stock roms and don't want to experiment to much,if you know what i mean.
Not me though. XD

Hi all;
My name is Dean and i have strange problem with my PDA.
The device is bought in Thailand in 2006 during my visitation to the country, originally I'm from Serbia.
PDA device is: O2, XDA Zinc, Windows Mobile 5.0 [English language]
On my laptop i have ActiveSync 4.5.0 installed and broadband internet connection.
Here is description of problem:
I wanted to connect my PDA device to my laptop using USB data cable, so i could have internet on it, but here is what happened.
I plug the cable to the device and my activesync didn't recognize the device. Instead strange error appeared on the display, saying "can not execute Mobilerss.exe" and then OS just freeze. I unplugged the device, preformed soft reset but this time i didn't plug in the cable, and again error showed and OS freezes.
With OS frozen like this i couldn't do anything... even the backlight went off and it wont turn on when i press button or tap the touch screen!
I though it would be good to uninstall mobile rss application which causes the problem, and because i don't use it wont be a problem, so i tried to do it, but i couldn't. [Maybe i didn't know how] so i deleted the app folder from the program files manually.
After that i hoped that i solved the problem but i was surprised to see the same error again!!! I did hard reset, even that didn't help...
I got one suggestion to try uninstall activesync and install older version, so i did that... I used 4.2 this time but error was still there, same message on the screen etc...
Now, what ever i do, plug or unplug the cable, preform soft or hard reset OS just freezes and i cant do anything...
Im running out of options so i ask for help of all you people.
If you need more details and i can provide them just ask, no problem.
Thank you in advance for any suggestion...

It Works Fast On Mine! It Should Do Just Fine On Urs
I flashed it...
I got that boot screen image, the green wm6, and than i was asked to tap the screen. Screen align program started and i'm stuck, i can't turn it off or enter home windows screen!
Help please
Try to reflash it one more time. Make sure that you are following ashburn's instructions properly since you have a chance of bricking the device if you don't follow procedure...

I did it again... followed every instruction written above but i just stopped at same place... Activesync recognizes the device, and the green LED blinks... but i cant get out of alignment application and see the home screen in WM..
I even tried to flash the device with older crumzz ROM - 19202-Xlt but OS stopped at same place - align app! Don't have a clue why is this happening ???
Are you leaving your device connected to the computer after its done with the flashing? It might be that AS is trying to sync with the device while it is setting up all the initial files and such...
After you are done flashing, try to disconnect the device from the computer, so that you no longer have interference from AS.
Alternatively, you could try to flash a stock rom. That normally solves a few issues here and there.
Good luck.

First, thanks for the help mate.
I disconnected the USB cable - didn't help...
I even terminated AS process from the Windows Task Manager so it couldn't interfere with the process of flashing...
What about this i quoted above? Can you give me some tips, thanks ?

A stock rom is a rom that is provided by your carrier/mgf of your phone. It is basically the original rom that came with your device. For the most part, most vendors have them available for download or by request to their customer support centers. Try to look in the O2 page, you might find it there.
Are you taking out the storage card before flashing? I have seen this causing problems in different phones when they are left in.

The only other thing I can think of is that your digitizer is busted. Do you have a warranty? You may be able to send your phone for repair...
hmmmm u try and sync ur Mobile..... look for a software thats skips the Align menu... i got a blue angel too that happen like urs before i use a certain app to do it and it skips tthe align thingy... well all i know my blue angel was not working well... i accidentally drop it one day and the touch screen works... but im not asking u to drop it lol... do not take the risk like me haha... but try to look for the soft i mention above....

Device is bought in Thailand and I'm from Serbia, so warranty is off little use. O2 and Telefonica company are not present here not even in surrounding countries so i doubt i could have it serviced...
Ashburn, i'll consider your advice and try to find that app. Can you tell me any tip, maybe the name off the app or part of the name...anything that could help, tnx
UPDATE on my issue
I manage to solve this problem by making an empty file welcome.not [just make notepad text file, but change the extension from .txt to .not] and then upload it to root of the SD card.
I did HR and SF... after that OS booted without welcome screen and alignment setting...
Thank you all for the support!
I suggest mod's to put SOLVED tag in the subject of this thread.

Hey Ashburn, i have one q about this cruzzmz ROM's...maybe u are familiar with those...
I see that they are all with WM6.1 version. It is working perfectly on my Zinc, but i was wondering if this is latest V of the OS?
currently cruzzmz is doing something with the latest one.... u got to wait lol cause i did a beta testing half of the file were chinese. and half of it was english cruzzmz is going thru abit of a tight situation right now removing the wip or system file that has chinese so we have to hold on for a moment... hehe and for WM 6.5 we to got to wait... im trying to figure out how to make a rom of my own but i succeded in making WM 6.1 rom of my own with the help of cruzzmz well for now we got to wait for him. Due to respect lol his abit busy
Great... well we have to respect everyone's time and efforts
nice that he already started to work on the newest 6.5 ROM...wish him all luck he need to finish it
Hear ya...
PM me if u'll like to add anything to OP for others to see ur post.
Good news Jelly bean(cm10) on 840S here

IM-A830L/S/K
Please any one with root,cwm,recovery, and any more info post here please.This is an awesome phone people dont know of.
update/12\09\2012
NEW
FIXED IO issue here
More roms (Awesome)hereCM10 l/s/k hereIM-a830l 1.38 update and this is how to get it.Best rom for now;Latest software update for the PVR2 a830L here and here for explanation(explanation has a different rom which is my daily driver rom) stock rom for PVR2 A830s here and here for help on a830sCM9 for S here ,k here and for L here(wifi,nfc and other major bugs)
-Installation bare bones simple just put zip on extsd card wipe data,cache and dalvik cache and install zip from sd card.
With thanks for our xda member Borisov we have another rom here.(But be careful as u may run into few bugs like music player,power amp&motion controls are not working).The rom promises u high level of free ram to operate with.So thanks again to Borisov for this contribution.(He found the rom on a chinese thread an decoded the hard language to give us this rom from there)
Root.here
-Plug ur device to ur pc with the micro USB cable.
-Install android sdk.(optional)
-Download this file, unzip and run Root_RC2.bat (if using Windows 7, please right click and select Run as Administrator).
-Press any key then ur device reboots and wait before pressing again.When ur device finishes reboot and u can see the lock screen press any key for step 2.Now ur device should reboot and be really slow but wait until u see the lock screen again and press any key for step 3.
-At boot ur device is rooted and check if super user is installed.
CWM..here
-For cwm connect ur device and run set up(note that this doesnt install a permanent cwm(5.8.4...) but rather triggers it by sending the necessary files over to ur phone which are deleted at reboot.So this is done every time to enter cwm mode)(Cwm needs SD card >3gb to work or else u'll get mount err.)
-The new cwm can be optained in fast boot mode.After triggering the first cwm above download this then put ur device in fast boot mode( by holding volup+down+pwr buttons)and selecting fast boot.Connect to pc and install drivers manually by choosing device sky adb drivers in device manager in the android phone section.Run cwm fast boot bat follow instructions and u get cwm.
-Nandroid backups tend to get stuck at last stage of backing up data.Never tried to restore but if there is a courageous tester u'll be welcome

Great! I think I'll be getting one of these when I move to Korea in a couple weeks, but only if I can root it.
Would you mind mentioning where you found these?

help support development for all pantech device
my device is pantech im-a760s.. running 4.0.4.. officiall..
80-character SMS limit and how to fix it
Hope this helps anyone who is running a stock ROM on this phone and is frustrated with the 80-character SMS limit.
You may have tried an app such as ICS Messaging (available from the Play Store), but found that it won't send any SMS, though it might show received SMS.
This phone's stock SMS app (mms.apk) sends each character in double-byte to accommodate Korean characters, so the 160-character SMS limit is halved.
I found that if you save your own phone number to the "My Number" area on your SIM card (which is not done by default on many newer SIM cards), this somehow allows third-party apps to work, and allows the sending of SMS up to 160 chars - and more, if your operator supports it.
1. First, find an ancient phone, one that can write to the "My Number" area. Get a really old "dumbphone" such as an old Series 40 Nokia. BlackBerries work very well (I used a Curve). Or you could try an iPhone. (I'm sensing a joke here...)
2. Put your SIM card in and power up the phone.
3. Now, you need to write your own number to the SIM card.
On the Curve I went to Options > Advanced Options > SIM Card.
On the iPhone, it should be in Settings > Phone > My Number.
In the My Number area, enter your full phone number, including the country and area codes.
4. Exit and power off the phone. Put your SIM card back into the Vega Racer 2.
5. Go to the stock SMS app and try sending an SMS, preferably to a friend who is on a different network operator.
If it works, proceed to the next step.
6a: If you have root: Use Root Explorer to browse to /system/app and rename Mms.apk to something else, say, Mms.apkOriginalBackup.
Then install ICS Messaging from the Google Play Store.
Check that it works and that you can now send SMS longer than 80 characters. (N.B.: As I mentioned above, make sure your operator hasn't imposed any limits on SMS length.)
6b: If you don't have root (I didn't test this): You can't get rid of the stock messaging app, so just disable its notifications from within the app. Then install ICS Messaging from the Google Play Store. Check that it works.
If this solution helps anyone else please let us all know. (Also if any other messaging apps, such as Go SMS, work for you.)

I am from Malaysia and our mobile spectrum is GSM. So far there isn't any problems with users using this device here. 3G works flawlessly as well.
I am planning to get this phone after selling off my Dell Streak 5. Is there NFC in this device?
I read one advert claiming that there is NFC in this device, and I asked my local seller and he verified it however I couldn't anything online regarding this device coming equipped with NFC. Would appreciate it if someone would be able to confirm it.

Go to CWM and try clearing media partition. Be vary that most of your files in your phone will be wiped. Back them up.
Here are all the steps to root and install a custom recovery on your X710D

1. Download files HERE
2. Extract 'Android flash' anywhere to your desktop
3. Open the folder within called 'USB VCOM Driver' and chose the folder then file that is your operating system (the .inf) and paste it to your desktop
4. Pull the battery out of your phone and connect the phone to you computer whilst holding the volume up button
5. Open device manager. You should see your phone (it re-appeared every 5 seconds for me). Right click on your phone and press update driver, then browse manually for the .inf file you put on your desktop. Once you've done that disconnect your phone
6. Open 'Android flash' and open Flash_tool and select all the files to make it look like the picture below
7. Press download, then plug in your phone whilst pressing volume up button
8. Done! You now have CWM and have rooted your phone! There are also some other apps that are added too
If you are having issues with your IMEI code read this post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30534835&postcount=32
There's also a issue with external sd cards which is currently being worked on. (phone can't write to sd card. if you attempt, phone reports sd card as damaged and sd card will need to be re-formatted)
Big thanks to yiminghung, he helped me figure out how to do it.
If I've made any errors in this please tell me I will fix asap, and if anyone has any updates/ROMs, please message me and I'll post them here.
Looks Good!

Hi all. I am a new registered. My name is Filippo and I'm Italian (sorry for my English googltraslate).
In a few days I will come to me x710d. I wanted to ask you questions.
1) What improvements does the root of the phone? Have to wait at the root with the update to Android 4.1 bj?
2) Before you root, I have to make a backup / image of the system for use in case I have a problem? If it is, how should I do it?
3) This root change the size of the internal memory or I'll do it later? In the second case, how can I swap the memory card with the internal one?
The last question is that there is risk in doing these operations? You advise me to do to its?
Excuse my inexperience and thank you all in advance.
Thank you so much for posting this. The Flash tool is quite confusing to use. Your instructions really helped.

i've just want to know how to root it
Success or Failure
I have tried many ways\suggestions to root my X710D and this is the only one I have not yet tried.
Before I do try this procedure It would be helpful if people that have done this on the X710D could report their success or failure.
I would like to know this because I do not know enough and do not want the get into more trouble with the device.
Thanks for sharing your experiences....
I successfully rooted my x710d using the steps given. Before I rooted my phone, I updated it to the latest 4.0.9 (latest firmware is in another forum read here).
This root also comes with the custom recovery (probably taken from HTC because there is an HTC boot screen logo). However, I encountered three main problems after the I successfully executed everything.
First, my IMEI got erased (solved this using ZOPO). (read here there is an explanation how to put your IMEI's back. )
Second, external Sd-card gets no write permissions and also it errors damaged sd-card from time to time (still finding ways to solve this).
Third; Since, I live in Japan, I am still finding ways how to enable MMS on this thing through sofbank.
for the good side;
Rooted phone is awesome.
This phone is quite fast for its price especially with the new firmware.
Sofbank APN settings where automatically there already (I dunno if this was because of ICS or X710d firmware just came in with these settings). Everything else is working very well. Camera, Bluetooth, GPS, WIFI, Radio, etc....
GreatPharaoh Thanks for such a clear and detailed post, this is what makes XDADevelopers such a great community.
Your reply is just what I needed to hear, me being new to this platform.
I purchased one of these as a development machine with the intention of using it as my phone also, but I had been highlighted that some sellers just are not in a position to support the products they sell. We also order two more from another seller to edge our bets on delivery times, but when we discovered some issues and the second seller also demonstrated that they have poor after sales support when managed to cancel these additional two X710D (with an insulting response from this seller).
I my case I asked very specific questions about the product and got nothing but positive replies before purchase, in addition I needed the device to have a working compass and magnetic sensor which also received a "Yes" but once we confirmed payment communication with the delivery and questions dried up. Once delivered, we found that while the X710D does have a Compass and Magnetic sensor they are not implemented.
Now we are concerned about the IMEI bug and these seller does not want to know about it.
So, while we accepted some risk in purchasing a Chinese phone at reasonable price, we really are concerned about this model and did not anticipate the amount of risk.
Now being a software developer (not Android or Linux) I had the approach the we can fix anything, but at this time in a new OS world it has proven to be again high risk and we can not afford to brick this device. So we have decided to return it for a refund.
I will continue to monitor these posts, because I am keen to see if things get resolved and to learn from the experiences of others. It is great to see many members with far greater skills than mine helping each other.
I have also had great hand-holding from ColonelZap through some of out attempts to resolve these issues, so a huge thanks to him.
Again thanks GreatPharaoh for a great post and I am sure that it will help others looking at the X710D and maybe they will find a solution to your remaining issues.

The X710D is a copy of the HTC Evo 4g LTE which will explain the boot logo.
Thank you for mentioning the sd card issue, i bought a rather expensive 32gb class 10 card to find it didnt work in my phone. Its very difficult to get it to work and when it does work my phone cant write to it. If you find a fix ill update the maim post.
Ive noticed lots of people mentioning issues with their imei codes. I havent come across this issue but there is a fix at post 3. Ill update the main post with it later.

Lost IMEI on x710D
Is this issue of losing IMEI only related to the X710D or is this a common problem with Chinese Android phones?
Once again, deepest Thanks to Jaw2Floor for posting the steps.
@Technica; yup, I couldn't agree with you more about these sellers. Seems like these phones where probably manufactured in someones old garage with one or two developers who couldn't do much english. And they would just send em to these vendors for retail. These sellers, However, are so smart with marketing, they would flood youtube and google with fake reviews (although most of em are just unboxings) and lead us with just curiosities. This is probably why they are so good at selling but very bad in support. Long story short, we are only paying for the hardware here.
For the Imei case: I wonder why everyone is not having this problem..?. Maybe this is also hardware related. This was the first problem I faced right after my first ever Factory Default Reset on the phone. I was so terrified that moment, I thought I bricked or fried the modem.
The Sd-card issue is still there: "My temporary fix is reformat card in PC and recopy your media. Do this every time you get the damaged sd-card error."
I can access my card with read permissions only. My media gallery and other media apps can see the card and the contents. However, as soon as I start to write the card (e.g. making new folder or deleting a file from any file explorer app) the "Damaged sd-card error" will start to appear and you wont be able to get rid of this until you take the card out, format it in your PC, recopy all your media, then mount it again in your x710d. This is what ive been doin for the past couple of days to enjoy music in this phone.
The Headphone Jack is also too deep. If you compare side by side the stock headphone/mic with any other regular headphone, this one came in with a much longer jack. I was able to fix this problem by widening the headphone hole on the phone's back casing and also splicing an mm of rubber on my regular headphone jack.
The stock Email-app are having problems setting up with Yahoo's mail servers. So, im using K-9 mail for now.
As for now, I am enjoying this phone. I get a lot of eye's whenever I take this out of my pocket in Tokyo trains. Its not a note! Its the money-saver version.

This method of root was exploited by djrbliss. Please visit the original thread and thank him by any means you see fit.
This is not done through download mode or recovery, so don't worry about any button combos. The phone just needs to powered on and running the way you would normally use it.
First things first. You should begin downloading the files you'll need later on.
Download the latest Samsung USB Drivers and the Root Exploit Executable

Begin installing the Samsung USB Drivers.
It can appear that the installer program isn't doing anything for a while so just be patient.
When the motochopper.zip file finishes downloading
right-click on it and select Extract All...
I usually just leave it at the default location and click Extract
It should finish this fairly quickly. When it does finish, open the motochopper folder in the resulting window. You can now ignore this window until you need it later.
For the sake of efficient use of time, while the drivers are being installed and motochopper.zip is being extracted, you should turn your attention to the phone itself. It needs to be prepared for being connected to your computer for the first time.
USB debugging within Developer options needs to be enabled to use this exploit. There are some that would say that if you don't know how to do this, you shouldn't be in the development forums. To them I say, "Everyone had to learn from somewhere. WHY NOT HERE??" :laugh:
To enable Developer options, open Settings and click on the "More" tab, then "About device". Mine shows where Developer options will be after doing this.
Near the bottom is an entry called "Build number", click on it repeatedly (7 times) until a toast pops up telling you that developer mode is on.
Press the back softkey and click on "Developer options". If you don't see it, you didn't click the "Build number" enough times.
DO NOT CHANGE ANY ENTRIES IN THIS SECTION WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEY DO FIRST!!
Click on USB debugging
click OK on the "Allow USB debugging" window that pops up.
When the Samsung USB Drivers are finished installing, connect the phone to your computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Windows Update should start looking for software for your phone immediately as indicated by the popup window that appears at the bottom-right of your screen when you have your phone connected to the computer. You can click on this window to watch it's progress, or simply wait for the next one telling you that your device is ready to use.
After you see this dialog, go back to the folder that opened when you extracted motochopper.zip and double-click on the file named run.bat
and click Run on the dialog window that pops up.
when the command line window appears, press enter to begin rooting your phone.
A dialog window will appear on your phone asking you for permission to let ADB execute commands. Click OK.
when the rooting process finishes, press enter to reboot the phone and close the command line window.
**YOUR PHONE IS NOW ROOTED AND YOU CAN USE APPS THAT REQUIRE ROOT**

Agreed - except for "enabling Developer options and USB Debugging" which I thought might be good in the OP of the "real" thread (and frankly is not called out well in this OP), this doesn't seem to add anything.
No need to clutter the Development thread with guides, thats what General is for. I'm sure this will help someone but its still in the wrong section unless you have a kernel or rom to post.
Thread moved, post in accordance with XDA rules, thanks and enjoy the new phone.
I posted it here because this is where people trying to root their phone will look. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. It makes the 6+ hours I spent on it all worth it, even after none of my screenshots showed for some reason.

Thanks for the clarification. This is my first guide and I had to figure things out as I went. Any idea why the pictures didn't work? I used the IMG tag.

your images didnt show because you used Google to share them, you need the direct image URL and google wont give you that. Try image shack or something like that. its what i use when hosting images.

Good evening,
I have been trying to room my AT&T i337 for 3 days now and have failed every time. I have enabled developer but NEVER get the popup on my phone to approve ADB connection. The motochopper script fails each time. Is there something I am missing? This is getting to be a problem because I need to be able to run WIFI Tether for work.... Help!

Are you using a new or known good cable? Try re downlooading the zip.
Make sure you extracted the zip. Remove and reinstall device drivers.
Have you tried foxfi in the playstore?
I'm not rooted and it works for me?

Thank you for the fast response. I am using the USB that came with the phone. I have tried multiple USB ports on my computer and have gotten the Motochopper file from 3 different locations. I have downloaded the USB driver from Samsung twice and installed. I even tried 2 different computers. I am at wits end....
I wrote Foxfi to see if this phone is compatible and hope they respond shortly.
Thanks,
Fred
Fixed missing ADB connection
Wow, I seemed to have fixed the problem myself by chance. I executed the adb.exe file in the Motochopper folder as a stand alone (a few times in fact) and the next time I connected my phone I got the pop-up to accept and was able to root it! In all the posts I have read, not once has anyone mentioned this. Wow, rooted at last! Thanks! :laugh:

In the attempts before that, did the command line window even open when you tried to run the batch file?
EDIT: Typo

Something that neither root guide mentions in the OP is that you might also need to disable "Verify apps via USB." It was disabled the first time I rooted, but it was enabled after I did a factory reset and rooted again. If root is failing, see if that option is checked and uncheck it if it is.
Can't attach or post a link, yet, or I'd include a an actual link to a screenshot. URL here: i.imgur.com/Ord8xxj.png

- Kernels
- More recoveries
- Makes Requests!!!
FAQs
Q - Why Did you make this?
A - To make life easier
Q - You are limited on features. Why?
A- You can always make a request!
Q - Will this work on other devices?
A - Only the fastboot commands, HTC Dev unlock (device specific) and the HTC drivers. Toolkit is made for the specific device.
Q - Will you support more devices in the future?
A - If people REALLY want, I can make it happen. I just don't want to make anything that nobody would use.
Q - Awesome! Can I make a donation?
A - Of course! Do not feel obligated though. If you would like to make a donation, you can click the button on my toolkit or under my username.
This is my first time supporting a non-HTC device. This should work perfectly fine, but let me know. I never owned a Nexus and I will do my best to make this compatible!
You are a gentleman and a scholar.
I'll give this a shot since the other Guide isn't working for me.
Edit: Yeah I cannot, no matter what I try, get my Nexus 7 drivers installed correctly. Odd.

Go to control panel -> Device Manager. Find your Nexus 7. Right click it and press uninstall drivers and delete the drivers with it (it will give you the option to delete them). Then, on top of device manager, press scan for hardware changes and it will find it and install the correct drivers.

Nah, done that. I've uninstalled, restarted, installed the universal abd. It still doesn't see my Nexus 7 when I go to use your toolkit. At this point it installs fine, I have ABD interface in my device list, but it cannot be seen by the scripts.
No idea why. I'm gonna delete all the abd/toolkit stuff and start over.
What's really great about it is even when Windows fails to install any drivers and I point it to the correct ones it still fails and says it cant find the drivers, lol.
Something isn't right, especially since I've done this with about a dozen nexus devices on this computer.

Trying to help you out. I never had a Nexus so at least I can learn it as well. Uninstall the drivers. Download the Google Drivers from here.
https://dl-ssl.google.com//android/repository/latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
Point the device from Device Manager to that. Hopefully it works. If it doesn't, just manually boot into bootloader and run the unlock bootloader command.

You probably have done this also. Try rebooting PC after removing drivers and then reinstall drivers.

Yep, already tried using those.
Hmm, idk. Maybe I'll just say fug it and install windows 8, lol.
\/\/\/\No dice on that even, DroidIt!.
Took me awhile to figure it out but what worked for me was plug in nexus in booted up state, open device manager, hit update drivers (not uninstall), hit browse for drivers, navigate to where you have your adb/fastboot folder at and point it to there. Sorry at work and can't remember the folder it's in off the top of my head, but in adb/fastboot folder the one you want to pick is i386. That worked for me.

While I find this tool to be overkill since the N7 is fairly easy to root, I can say from past experience that it was invaluable in getting my Droid DNA rooted; especially if you aren't too familiar with command prompt adb commands.
Alright! Got it all working. No idea what made it work. I basically kept installing/uninstalling with restarts in between, switched USB ports a few times, uninstalled some other stuff, restarted, and somehow it worked. Idk, I'll chalk it up to windows 7 driver management being absolute ****.
I wound up having to use the other tool to install TWRP. Apparently your ADB server is out of date? I replaced your /data/adb.exe with a newer one, worked fine after that.
Got my bootloader unlocked, recovery flashed, and it's rooted.
Thanks!
I did all the steps to root but I can't get pass the boot screen, can someone help?

It's always nice to have options and remember, this is all-in-one for a reason. Extra commands, features, everything.

If you didn't flash a custom ROM yet, go back into recovery and do a factory reset. Should boot up then.
Getting my N7 tomorrow. Will this work on Win8 64? Thanks in advance.
