Fail to ROOT via SuperOneClick

Okay, i cant root with SuperOneClick, its my computer. Its SUPER SLOW and CANNOT do anything without freezing. I installed the LG drivers in safe mode (because it would never install in regular) and decided to try to root in safe mode and when it freezes for a bit (at any point), in Task Manager, it says "Not Responding"
Ive unblocked the files and even ran it in admin and yet it still fails and YES, my SD is unmounted and i have USB Debugging on. Here is my system specs:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyway i can manually root it? Like change the stuff myself? not the program AND NO! I WILL NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER!
Thanks!
Im using SuperOneClick 1.9

Do you know how to use adb?

I heard some have used gingerbreak.. Cannot confirm.. But it's an apk you install then run.. Might be worth a shot..

Look for a app called gingerbreak in the mkt I think. I had the same problem I figured it was cause I was using vista. If you can't find it email me from your phone and I can send you the apk. [email protected]

with those specs and it running super slow, i think you have bigger problems than root. that pc should be fast and smooth. forget about your phone and format that pc lol.
and this post would have been better placed here, as you didn't develop anything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985

For starters you are posting in he wrong area plz read the rules. Also learn to use ADB. Mods plz move

Um... no? I did the SuperOneClick before on someone elses G2X, it roots without unlocking the bootloader.
NOTE: Finally i got it rooted but im sure there are others with this problem. I was actually using my friends computer to root it

Moved to proper forum.

I was stock ROM, S-OFF and rooted...Clicked yes to install OTA when prompted..Phone reset and then that came up and its doing nada...
Am I screwed? What should I do?
Can I do a battery pull? Am I bricked?
I pray someone helps me and doesn't flame. I know there are some good people in here still.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

You are not bricked you should be able to do a battery pull and boot up normally if that doesnt work since you are rooted get a tmobile 2.3.3 ruu and runn that..

I believe your mistake was doing the OTA WHILE being rooted. Good news is, is that most people here tried the same as you and all are fine now.
A beer would be nice, huh?
Matt

Thanks!
Doing battery pull now. Will update If any more problems.

It's not root that kills the process, it's the custom recovery.
I assume you have CWM Recovery?
You need the stock recovery to make the OTA work, hence you have to use the RUU to get it back. Instructions are here:

After that, you can re-gain root by reading here:

Encryption is it worth doing

All of my study is in the city so my tab could get stolen one day and at home i have a younger brother who loves to play with settings etc
Is the encyption worth the hassle?
Does it break anything?
Do i have to decrypt re-encrypt every boot is it slow?
I have never had this option before but it seems like a good idea i just want to know how it plays in real world use before i do it.

The problem with having an encrypted partition is that CWM at moment can't really do anything useful to those partitions. You cannot flash, backup, or restore via CWM. This means your ability to work with custom ROMs is effectively crippled. In fact, to undo the encryption (or if you forget your password), I had to nvflash back to stock. Factory reset via CWM cannot be done since, again, the partitions are still encrypted.
If in the future, CWM is able to access the partitions like the stock recovery can, then you'd be fine.

I wouldn't touch it for now. If/When CWM allows for it (possibly ICS, as I might guess that the closed nature of HC is limiting development around encryption support?) then maybe..

Thats a good point ae hopefully with icys than can also make abit more headway with the more advanced recoverys to
Never thought about that before thanks

I've tried a few methods including rom manager app and no luck, it just tries booting to stock recovery.

Also I am on 4.2.2. Just got phone today and spent a good 2 hours trying before asking for help! Hopefully it's a dumb mistake on my end and is an easy fix
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

The furthest ive gotten is doing it manually in cmd and it says the image file is not a loki image and when it boots recovery its blank black screen. No one has any help for me? Should i try going back to stock recovery first? How do i do that?

I used freegee from the play store to install twrp 2.6.3.3, works perfectly.

I tried. It got stuck and wouldnt finish.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

So you'll never guess what happened. I woke up next to my phone and it was in cwm! But guess what?! My phone did the OTA on its own while I was asleep and bricked my 2 day old phone! Any help WITHOUT using Linux? I can't even get into recovery anymore because I tried to install another recovery zip to fix it and now there is no recovery

I'm making an appointment with geeksquad (phone came from best buy) and the service rep I talked to said they'd most likely replace it for me. If not, my computer asks me if I want to format the drive (repeatedly when I plug it in with every drive letter of the alphabet) what would happen if I did?
Sent from my P9070 using Tapatalk

Just restore back to stock. There is a lot of info on how to do this on this forum. You don't need the geek squad.

Anyone else get this update? I'm on sprint. Also, I haven't installed it yet, I presume I need to flash the stock recovery if I choose to take the update

Mmmmh htc did not plan to update the A9 now so maybe it's an update late of MM. But still sense 7.0
Sent from my HTC One A9 using XDA-Developers mobile app

The only thing I've noticed is that that amoled saturation controls have been brought back

same here, i'm on sprint. is it ok to flash being deodex?

Not sure. I haven't got too deep into flashing on this phone, as there's not a heck of a lot to flash. Typically no, you would need to be stock odex and stock recovery to take an ota
Sent from my 2PQ93 using Tapatalk

me too , i have this update 2 days ago , only changes i noticed :
* my hand free stopped working with my htc a9 and now its back again
*have new app called ""HTC VIP" , but its not working in my country

@k2buckley yeah, what a shame :/ i guess i'll have to wait and see what's new with this ota. it was a pain in the arse to get all things done yet i have some issues.

I'm getting that annoying notification about the system update. I'm just rooted with twrp. What would be the best way to update?

Have a look in Post TWRP Recovery #2
chapter 8,9 and 10.
NB: Download and save the ota in your sd card (you'll find it in /data/data/com.htc.updater). You could share it for XDA members...
Cheers

was about to ask the question where i could find it, thanks kho

any feedback abt this ota?

Only thing I've noticed is we have an option for the fingerprint scanner to wake the screen and use it as a home button.

it was already there. i think it's just some improvements and bug fixes.
