[Q] How to root after 4.2.2 OTA update

Hi all,
Can anyone provide a step by step guide on how to root the phone after the 4.2.2 OTA update?
I need root so that I can shift apps to the external SD. Right now I can only shift apps from the phone memory to the phone internal SD card, which is full already..and i can't even load whatsapp images now
I am using LTE version of the phone in Asia (Singapore)

Thanks

If your phone is still S-On/locked, unlock it at htcdev.com (follow the steps there).
Then flash TWRP Recovery 2.6.3 from here with fastboot.
Now you can boot to recovery and flash Superuser.zip from here.
Reboot, and check if SuperSu is in appdrawer and if root could be granted.

Thanks a lot.
Now there is root on my phone. I tried to use link2sd but it only detects the phone sd card and not my external sd card. I have partitioned my external sd card for apps.
Now it seems that there was not much point in rooting my phone...zz

[Q] MicroSD Card on Galaxy Note 10.1

Hi
Device : Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 GT N8000
Android 4.4.2
Micro SDXC Card 64 GB Sandisk
Please help me with following two problems
1. I cant write on my SDXC card using my Note. I am able to read files from sd card on my note but cant cut, paste on to it. I tried formatting it on my note but it asks for PIN. I dont remember the PIN.
SD card works fine on my windows laptop.
Pl support to unlock the password
Pl support to solve write problem with SD card.
Cheersss........

Because of KitKat OS, You can't write on your SD card with third-party app.
So, use stock file manager(My Files) or ROOT your device and edit permission.

And after Rooting use SD Fix from Market to change permissions.

Hi, yes you're right, more details:
I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.1
Zip files was on micro SD card formatted in NTFS.
And what I tried with no success is to find teh file on sd card location.
So I test FAT? On SD Card?

That TWRP version is very old... but should be good enough for wiping.
How did you try to find the file "on sd card location"? Using "Select storage?" Or did you mount using the mount page? In which directory did you look? external_sd or whatever it's called?

In TWRP I choosed "Install" option and look for .zip files I copied. I looked in folder SDCARD and EXTERNAL_SDCARD located at root and I found nothing.
I didn't use the "mount" option.

Which folder did you put them into on the card?
My guess is that they are in that folder
Which rom.zip files btw?

Well... I try to developp a little bit more to get some help.
I installed in my micro SD formatted in EX FAT format and in the SD card formatted in FAT32 format the two zip files dowloaded here:
Download CM11.0
Download GAPPS
They are installed at the root of both cards, there is no other files or folder in it.
I start in TWRP and then click install icon and look for these files everywhere and found nothing.
When I cick to mount icon, I cannot mount the micro SD or the SD cards.
Could you help me?
Is it possible to install another version of TWRP if the system does'nt start anymore?

when you enter twrp you should press on install, then there is a tab that says choose storage press on that and choose sd card, then carry on as you have been doing. twrp doesn't automatically show things on your micro sd card

I would like to know this also. I see there is no response to this question since 7 Oct, is there another forum for this device?
I would also like to be able to use the sdcard as internal storage if that is possible.
Thanks

Yeah you can add a 32gb micro sdcard
Yes you can add upto 32gb micro sdcard is exactly what i've done. in conjunction with link2sd you can point all downloads to use your sdcard from now on. But what it really does is move all the apps to the sdcard
but for it to really work it you need 2 partitions first Fat32 / 2nd ext4 thats where it relocates your program aps too. And your free to add anything you like to the fat32 mind you that you won't have read/ access to the ext4 but for me its not an issue.
But if you're needing it i'm sure there's an app for that' i used 'aparrted to do the partitions from Android but you can also do it from windows. Before you partition make sure to unmounted the sdcard first and after you have created the new partition restart the tv box and it should remount the sdcard.

Thanks for the answer. I'll give link2sd a try. On another note if you don't mind me asking, have you installed a custom recovery such as TWRP? I can not get the stock recovery to see the recovery.img on the sdcard or a usb thumb drive?
thanks again

Well first you need to download the sd card variant of the update/rom that you wish to upgrade to and open the zip file and place the 3 files in the root directory of the sdcard. After that place the sd card in the tf slot unplug your box and hold in the reset switch (behind the av port i used the insides of a ballpoint pen to activate the switch ) while pluging the power back in turn it on and keep holding in the reset till you see the recovery logo at this point let go of the reset switch. And from this point it should update on its own if it doesn't work try it again.

Change ROM from internal storage in cwm 5? (Vodafone smart mini)

Hi!
I have a Vodafone smart mini, and unfurnately it supports only (unofficial) cwmr 5 and i have a ROM but i doesn't have an SD card, and there is any option like "install zip from internal SD" there is any mode to install from internal SD, or recovery that allow to install ROM from internal SD?
Thanks for the help and sorry for my bad english.

Hi there,
I dont think so
AS FAR AS i know its install from sd!
By the way during the rom flash ur system will be formatted
All data will be gone(restore factory like)
If ur phone have separate partitions
For system and internel memory then thats possible but there is a risk if ur phne doesnt boot after then u wont be able to access internel memory and all of its contents
Do some google search before doing anuthing
Give a thanks if i helped u
