About
The WinDroid Toolkit is a Windows program built in Visual Studio using the C# programming language that simplifies the rooting process for many Android devices. The toolkit makes it easy to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and gain permanent root. It also includes other functions such as flashing kernels, pushing files and installing apps. If you find it helpful, give me a thanks and a donation if you can. If you find a bug or have a feature request, feel free to leave a reply. Thanks!

Looks really good... Thus is exactly the kind if tools which gonna make customs ROMs more popular and our life's easier!
The GUI looks awesome!
Cheers for that!

Well done, this is great work!! I cant use it myself as I use a mac for my music production but I wish this was about when I was using windows. Would have made life much easier. :laugh:

EDIT: Thread re-opened.

Great Tool, should help new users who are uncomfortable with fastboot and adb.
Any instructions for new users?
Like do you need to have your phone in bootloader mode <fastboot usb> plugged into pc?
Or when your phone is on, do these commands automatically reboot to bootloader and run?
If so, should the user have usb debugging enabled in settings menu?

All the buttons are pretty self-explanatory. Almost all of the buttons automatically reboot to the necessary mode, and tell the user if something is needed of them, such as enabling USB Debugging, choosing a file, etc.

Looks like a great tool for noobs look forward to some feedback I'll gladly pass on to such when I know all functions work! good job man!

Just like the all-in-one tool, but just simpler and looks pretty much more user-friendly. I'll try this tool with my friend's One S. Thanks to the OP. Great job! :thumbup:
Edit: and it'll be much more awesome if it'll have options like, s-on (from s-off), unroot, and relock bootloader.

Good morning.
Here I am, a totally newbie in the world of modding.
I bought the One S last year, and is still completely stock.
I would like to install a rom, but I don't know in which order should I press those buttons in the toolkit.
Thanks in advance

Yes i did ...i noticed that when i select and press reset to bootloader command, the cmd window appwears, do whats supposed to do, when i need to use another command, I need to close this window, so I can use the tool, if not, the tool cannot be used as it is unactive while the cmd window is open ...hmmm. it says device offline , i updated all adb stuff, everything is alright .. only when i choose to unlock bootloader option it loses connection with my phone , no matter that fastboot usb is shown on bootloader status screen..

Dont know if it would work better to put the phone into bootloader mode then fastboot usb mode then run the tool?

I wanna use this to s-off but trying to run tool i get this error.

You need to install the latest .NET framework from here.

Thats a nice tool you got there. Definitely should be put in general section once the full guide has been written.

At last, this phone is gonna be rooted... but... when i put the Device Identifier Token in the dev. page of HTC, it's doing something, followed by a blank page and nothing else. Don't even get the email with the unlock code.. what to do?
-=SOLVED=-
If you don't get a response from HTC or a blank page.

To apply just unzip the contents of the package below into the tools folder of the android sdk
How-to Enter fastboot mode .... While the phone is off hold down "Volume down key" and then "power button" hold both till you get a white screen with the androids and skateboards
to confirm your device is seen by adb use this command
Code:
fastboot devices
you should see your phone listed under the command you just typed. After that type the next command to flash the splash image
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.nb
Then you should see that it was successful and rebbot the phone and preview your new image by typing
Code:
fastboot reboot
Please Thank and post comments as needed, if there is any trouble i'll try to help if i can i'm rather busy lately...lol
There was a huge thread on how to change splash with win 7 and I am stuck in osx thanks for a tut on how to to it in fastboot
Thanks! I followed the instructions and applied it no problem. Makes booting up look seamless with Fresh's bootscreen
So I have been having nothing but problems with Sync, so have rooted, flashed and changed boot image by using a root file manager (which all have worked fine).
Where on the EVO is the splash screen logo located, so I can just manually apply it?
Thank you

I'm 99.9% sure that this image cannot be simply replaced in a folder but must be flashed, at least that's how it was for winmo
If you think about it this is where the carrier brands the phone the most, im pretty positive this is flashed to a specific partition
Am I missing something? I do everything step by step and it won't find fastboot command in the terminal (using OS X). I can't do anything.

Hmm that's too bad. My Vista sees my EVO, but it has an exclamation mark and the driver won't initialize no matter what I try.
Guess I'll wait till some other time then
Criim
Is there a way to flash from the EVO itself? I can copy files with no problem if I connect as a HDD.
add this file to the tools folder of android sdk or i think in OS x anywhere works as long as you direct the command line to it

No it is in fastboot
From what I gather a lot of people have this issue with Vista 32bit and HTC Sync. I haven't been able to track down a solution. Even when trying to use Sync..it always just errors and says:
Unable to find HTC Sync on your PC. Please make sure.....
Kind of a pain, but so far I have been able to do everyting I want just doing it from the phone with files copied over. Using the terminal emu or file manager

[UTIL] Android Splash Image Changer

Simply change the splash screen of your phone.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Requirements:
- At this time only phone's with a resolution of 480x800 will do.
- Remember, in order to flash custom splash screens, you must have s-off which can be obtained using alpharev.
- Before you click the "Push to Phone" button, make sure your device has the USB Debugging feature enabled.
(Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging)
How the magic works:
- This tool will first convert your selected image to the appropriate file format (splash1.img).
- It will then try to reboot your phone using ADB (Command used: adb.exe reboot bootloader).
- While rebooting your phone this tool will start a fastboot session (fastboot.exe flash splash1 splash1.img)
- If the phone is rebooted into the bootloader, it will execute the actual flashing process
- After flashing this tool will reboot your phone once again to finish the whole process (fastboot.exe reboot)

1.0 - Initial release

where is this image located? i wanna do it for my custom rom
Hi,
How does it work ?
When I click "Push to Phone", it say "Please wait while your phone is rebooting" during about 1 second and nothing.

Cool question!
Behind the scenes of this tool I'm doing some fancy conversions to the image.
This results in a flash-able file called splash1.img.
This image is then flashed to splash1 with the command: fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img.
Thing you have to do is create the file splash1.img and incorporate the flashing procedure into your update script.
I don't have any experience in that procedure, but going to try it out.
It should work, others have done this before.
Will be back for this one
For now, take a look at this thread.
It should make some things clear for you I think.

Do you have S-OFF?
Yes I have S-OFF. I'm trying to restore my splash screen to the original one (I'm currently having the alpharev joker)
It works!! finally i can get rid of the joker!!
Amazing.
Just suggest reduce a little bit the Window. The button isn't showed in 1280x800 correctly
And please, add the information about, WHEN click on PUSH TO PHONE (HBOOT,FASTBOOT,Charge Only with debug...)
Regards and thank you
This is in the General section so does it work with OTHER phones, my screen res isnt the one specified, do i still need S OFF or is that for HTC phones?
If it doesnt work for any other phones can we get it moved to the HTC section?

It will work for other phones as well, as long as the resolution is 480x800 (for now) and you have S-OFF.
Will be working on compatibility for other resolution soon.

Totally agree on the big window size, will adjust it to a more appropriate size in the next release.
For the extra prerequisite info... working on it now

Looking again into the compatibility it indeed seems to only work on HTC devices.
Seems like S-Off is a htc thing.
Hope someone with a galaxy S phone can test this, don't know if flashing is a problem.
If that's the case I would have to take a different approach.
My aim is to make it device independent.

People around me are calling me stupid, not adding a donate button to my apps.
To me its nothing more than cluttering the UI, distracting you from things that ARE important.
If people really want to donate, they can do so on this forum.
Have added a celebrate link to my signature, think it should be enough
on win xp 64 bit i click push to phone and it just shows the windows hourglass when i scroll over the app - nothing is happening on the phone end or in the app.

This sometimes happens to me to, temporary workaround to this could be: close the app and try again.
Has something to do with kicking off adb the first time.
It just hangs, but when you try it the second time it should be already running in the background.
I'm currently rebuilding the whole app, upcoming release would fix it, but for now, try it a second time
You should try to make a version that can do an animation splash screen, that'd be awesome. Its still a cool app though.

M7 Multi Tool v1.1 - Dev-Host Mirror ​Oder versions:
M7 Multi Tool v1.0 ​
Any other suggestions are welcomed!
Tutorials/FAQ: ​For best perfomances, extract the .zip to C:/
Q: What do i need to do in order to install a custom ROM?
1.Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com.
2.Flash a recovery of your choice.
3.Root using the permanent root solution flashed via recovery, found in Data/Root or select the Root menu and flash your desired thingy.
4.Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.
All those things are found and can be done via this tool.
Q: Hi, i just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?
First, extract the folder of the archive in the root of some partition, example above and somewhere below.
After that, run M7MultiTool vX.X.bat on windows, M7MultiToolvX.X-M.sh on MAC and M7MultiToolvX.X-L.sh on Linux.
Q: I see you talk about some M7MultiTool vX.X, is that an eXtreme edition or something?
No, vX.X will be replaced with the version from the title of the thread, this is made like this to keep things clean over future updates, so there will be no need to change things all around the thread after each update.
Q: Hi, i just bought a phone what should i do now?
Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader, just go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader.
Q: What is logcat?
Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.
It is usually used for debugging and entertaiment(?).
When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (logfile)!
Q: What is DMESG?
According to wikipedia: dmesg (display message or driver message) is a command on most Linux- and Unix-based operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel.
We use it for debugging purposes, providing it while reporting a kernel bug/error is a blessing.
Q: Hi, i have an unlocked bootloader, what should i do now?
Well, you should flash a custom recovery via bootloader, for that you just need to turn off your phone without fastboot activated, hold Volume down + Power button untill a white screen appears, if it appears a black one with some blue letters, you probably have a fake one
Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do i need one?
A custom recovery is that thingy that let's you flash .zip files, use your logic and you wil get it why you need one.
Q: Do i need S-OFF on my phone?
HTC One has a nice unlocked bootloader, S-OFF is not needed as you can flash custom ROM's and kernels directly via Recovery.
Also, S-OFF is not available *YET* for HTC One.
Q:There are others guides/tutorials out there, should i check them instead of this?
If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated ​
Changelog: ​v1.1 - 23 May 2013 - Added Permanent Root flashing.
v1.0 - 23 May 2013 - First public release, providing recovery flashing, driver installer, htcdev.com code provider, cid getter, logging (logcat and dmesg), backup and restore, rebooting.​

I know you need adb debugging on, don't know if it will work without root, you can give it a try, if it doesn't work, you can use Helium from Google Play, can backup even on non-rooted devices, but beware, i used it and for example CSR Racing couldn't be restored, so i remained with my online save, which was waaay behind.
Hope this helps.
@Lexmazter, luckily the games i have on my phone have not been started yet. only some emulators that have some real-time saves on them, they should be easily copied back and forth from the internal memory. probably just gonna copy all files from internal to pc and then copy them back after rooting then re-install the apps \ games manually.....................sudeki300

I Added Proof In Attachments Check them
Ok, I have a problem with the adb, I tried many times but it still freezing and my cellphone screen too, I searched in the internet many ways to mount the system partition as read and write but all failed. Im thinking that the problem is the nougat version, I have the J1 and Im downloading the D1. Pst, the drivers and the cables are ok, I used another adb codes and they worked.
Seems like it only works on Qd1, so if have updated QI1 or QJ1, got to flash back to Qd1 to get it to work
...
I flashed DQD1 via Odin and after that, I flashed the .tar, but it still freezing my screen, I tried first without flashing the .tar because after flashing the firmware, the custom logo appeared. But again, the adb process failed, itsn freezed like the other but was unable to copy the su.img
---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------
I did the same process that you made, so, I don't know why this happen, can you please assist this?? The phone doesn't matter, I just want to prove if this really work. I'll be amazed if this really do.
I´m facing the same problem on my device as @NerdTronik , just frezes when try to remount system as rewritable.. No succes as yet and I'm on Qd1 with the same kernel version.. Dont know How you Got to succesfully Remounted the system..
Another one stuck scratching my head with the phone locking when the batch script gets to the first adb shell mount command. The flash to DQD1 (from here, all 4 files) went fine. Flashed the new boot image without issue, reboot reflects custom image. Enabled debugging, connected with ADB, but that mount would be the final thing that would occur. Hoping this is just something we need clarified in the instructions.
Ok for all of your problem tonight i will make a youtube video learn how to root with the proof of it ☺?
Thanks for the root! Tell me, after I get the root of what custom firmware I can put? I understand you only need the development of verizon?
I did a Google for the the boot image file name and came across this link:
http://www.techzai.com/eng-root-file-samsung-android-7-nougat/
NOTE: I accessed this via Google's cache, and with NoScript plugin in Firefox. The firewall I was accessing through blocked the site for a reason... unsure if that could be that it isn't safe, work just didn't want me going there during business, etc. Go at your own risk.
But one thing that was noted in those instructions was to not only enable USB Debugging, but to also enable OEM Unlock in the developer options.
The thread for the S7 (which I think would apply but we just need to use the later released S6 boot image) mentions disabling secure startup. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Might have time to play around with this more during the coming weekend, but maybe @faw_wal or another member will get additional info before then.
Don't work in my phone
So has any one else been able to confirm this as a working method?

I think that it will be nice, I'll be waiting for it in a few hours. We just want to solve the errors, exactly the mounting system partition process.
can you tell me how to do that? when i double click root.bat my homegreen freezy?

Oh nice, it's just seems impossible until somebody find the method to write in the system partition, in the thread you posted here, there was a man saying that we need to flash or do something before run root.bat, he didn't checked before but, sounds like a development.

Question How can I root the Motorola Edge 30?

All i can find are tutorials for the Neo and Pro versions of this device. Can this version be rooted? How?

Well, don't get me wrong, but if that's all unknown to you ... you'd better don't root your device ;-).
The risk to brick your device or open unforseen security wholes is quite too large, you'd better read some tutorials about flashing roms and customizations before trying to get into the world of Magisk.

Well, i've been reading past days...
I've installed Delta Magisk through adb on Lineage OS 20. It was quite a fast and interesting process!
Thank you.

Instead of being helpful you give some strange lessons it seems to me that you are useless here. If someone asks you politely for help, explain it to them. Every phone unlocks differently.

Well, i tried to figure out, that not knowing the basics of running the phones recovery and using sideload is a bad starting point to open root access on the device.

Well, that's not the core of my answer and i do not disagree ... just wanted to prevent a newbee from bricking his device and not beeing able to recover ;-) or walking around with a spy-phone recording and sharing his whole live-data with someone who should not know anything of it at all.
@Kasjopea73 : if you volonteer to answer request like "i tryied to root and bricked my device" in personal chat, then it's ok ... i've seen too many chats on other devices beeing flooded by those kind of requests, rendering these chats useless for developers who tried to exchange information on fixing problems.

The best thing to do is not to write anything anymore, you are no help here and it is better to disappear. This is a forum for development, not for throwing obstacles under someone's feet. Rooting this phone is trivial, just extract the boot.img from the rom you are using, not from any other, and in magisk make a patch, instructions you will find below the post. If you don't know what is going on don't write nonsense to anyone.
Instructions Steps: Unlock Bootloader and Root​Platform Tools:
For Windows:​
Download File: Download
For macOS​
Download File: Download
For Linux​
Download File: Download
At first, you need to connect your device to PC via USB cable.
Next, head over to the platform-tools folder, then you have to type in CMD in the address bar and click enter. Command Prompt window will popup.
Now type the below command to boot your device into fast boot mode:
adb reboot bootloader
Next, you will need to get your device-specific unlock token. For that, execute the below command:
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will now get an alphanumeric character, that you have to copy all of the codes without the bootloader prefix. To follow this step, you may copy all the commands, paste it in a Notepad, and then delete the bootloader prefix. Further, make sure that there isn’t any space between any line of codes.
Now go to Motorola Unlock page and sign-in with your account. After this, copy that code and paste that into provided space. Then tap on the “Can my device be unlocked button”
Then, you will receive a Unique Key on your email. In normal scenerio, the code usually takes a few minutes to reach your email. But if not wait for few more minutes and you will get the code.
Go back the command prompt window and execute the below command. In the following command replace the UNIQUE_KEY with the key that you have received from Motorola.
fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY
Your bootloader is unlocked, after the whole process is done which will take few minutes. Now if your device doesn’t reboot to the system then you can use the below command to do it manually.
fastboot reboot
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE UNLOCKED THE BOOTLOADER OF YOUR DEVICE. NOW LET’S PROCEED TO ROOT THE DEVICE
2. ROOT MOTOROLA EDGE 30, PLUS ecc......​Thera are two ways root motorola edge plus: one is flashing SuperSu Zip with TWRP Recover and another one patching the boot.img file. Currerntly, there is no TWRP Recovery for motorola edge plus, so we will be choosing the latter (patching) option.
Instructions Steps:​
First download the stock firmware and extract the firmware file. Now search the stock boot file which would be named as boot.img. Copy this file to your Motorola edge plus.
Install Magisk Manager which you have downloaded earlier.
After installation, open magisk manager and tap on Install > Install > Select and Patch file (Here you have to select the boot.img file)
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Magisk will start the patching process which will take just a few seconds.
After the patching process is done, you should see the magisk_patched.img in your internal storage’s Downloads folder.
Now you have to transfer magisk_patched.img to your platform-tools folder. Open CMD in this folder by searching “CMD” in the address bar and hit Enter.
Connect Motorola edge plus with PC via USB Cable and type the following command:
adb reboot bootloader
Now you have to flash magisk_patched.img and for that type the following command:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
The process will take only a few seconds. Once its complete, you may reboot your device via the following command:
fastboot reboot
Now you can open magisk manger and very the root as well.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ROOTED YOUR MOTOROLA EDGE PLUS.
There is another solution for making Root on Telegram groups. Unlock the bootloader and install TWRP then Magisk.
I did this as described, it works fine. I tried a couple of days with root and stock ROM but revert back to the original because of google wallet that didn't work suddenly.
