[Q] Noob . . Getting Root Explorer Crash . . ??

Hello,
Sure im a noob .. Its my first Android Phone . . ARC s.
Can anyone please help me, i have read lots of threads but still not much improvement upon this issue. I want to try out these amazing stuffs here, but im stuck and i cannot move further.
I wil try to brief what i did with my phone, perhaps i missed something.
1. I root my phone(locked bootloader) with Zergrush created by DoomLord. I dont know if i done it corectly, may be someone can confirm.
2.When i rooted my phone, i did not download the adb drivers, i was too new ..
3. However, i followed all the steps, and i get my phone rooted, but after rooting, as the phone need to reboot, it rebooted up quite fast, unlike others atke about 120 seconds. . .
4. Still, i got my superuser application and it seems to worked, do not really know.
5. I got root explorer versions 2.12.1 and 2.8.1, installed the latest first, ok successful.
6. When i run the root explorer app, i was promted to allow or deny this app by super user, whereby i conclude it seems to work.
7.I grant acess to root explorer, but on starting, i get the error message saying unexpected error, needs to be closed.
8. I tried with the other version as well but still same thing.
Please can anyone guide me if ever i missed something, I really want to try out these amazing stuffs out here, like changing themes and toggle switch, but i cannot go beyond if i do not have root access.

Try
>>Manage applications
>>downloaded
>>force stop on root explorer
>>clear data and cache
Sent from my XT862 using XDA App

I tried the above . . to no avail ..
In fact neither the Force stop nor the clear data and cache button are activated. . .
:-( . . . some help please . .

If you have patience, you can try to re-root. Otherwise don't know how to help you!

RE root
Ok i'll try to re-root.
Please can you advise, do i need to unroot first and then root again or i just apply the re-rooting.
Do you advise to go by Zergrush . . .??
Do i really need the adb drivers or this can be skipped.
Thanks
. . . .

Hello, sorry for not answering you, but have not the email notifications enabled for replies on threads. In my opinion it would be good to do a full wipe first: data factory, cache, dalvik cache. Then root again waiting for all the files have been downloaded. I always root with SDK and adb and always works good!

Okie ...
Will try and give you an update ..
Thanks
Regards

Before you do anything i would suggest downloading the latest version from the market, which is 2.17.2.
The cause of your crash could be already fixed.
This app should be able to tell you if you are rooted

I Thought am gonna regret somthing or the other but till nw nothing

Hi Sadhu,
First of all thanx for all your efforts. I'm getting one delivered in a couple of days as well and am really confused about one thing. Does it or does it not have GPS? Some sites mention it in the specs, some don't. I even asked the saholic guy when I got the call to confirm my order, he said yes.
Then someone who got it recently said it does not! So what is the deal, is there an inbuilt GPS antenna? Or does it just make do with some kind of wifi/network assisted location approximation?
I also heard playstore does not recognize this tablet? Any other points we should be aware of?
Thanx again.
BTW, you're probably going to see a sudden spurt of activity on your mi-1010 threads since a lot of people seem to getting it at the new bargain basement price!

ROOTING Starmobile Energy

Hi everyone !!! Did you already encountered rooting Starmobile Energy?
Not sure if this thread will help me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39496756
Just asking you guys because im noob in Qualcomm Chipset.
Please HELP me i don't want to brick the phone. TIA.

Successful in Rooting Energy
Hi!! Don't worry. I already rooted my Energy. And I used Root And Restore by Bin4ry.
Just use the software First. Run the "'RunMe.bat" and then make sure that:
1. You're device is connected to the PC.
2. You turned on "USB connection"
After clicking on the RunMe.bat, a command prompt window will open. Then you'll see there the choices on what kind of action you'll need to perform.
- press 1 then enter (because your device is a normal device)
- a couple of things will appear on the window like daemon started successfully etc.
-then it will tell you to go to your device and press "restore my data" (or just restore)
-then your device will restart. Don't worry if it restarts a couple of times. It's okay.
-then after the boot, you'll be welcomed with a dialogue indicating that "Android is upgrading".
Enter your homescreen and voila!!! you are rooted :victory:
Then manually install the latest version of BusyBox in the market. As well as SuperSU (The android logo with the red cape) :highfive:
I'll expect that you'll be rooted in no time
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED

Succesfully rooted Starmobile Energy
I just used the pdanet for drivers then followed the steps.
thanks :victory:

Hi! I'm newbie about this process, but looking forward to root one of my phone which is Star Mobile Energy. Do you guys have video on YouTube about the step by step process? I believe I could follow it through visual process or procedures, but if there's no video about this I hope you guys could suggest me what is the best software or program to use to get through with it... I really don't have idea about this aha
pls post the very basic on how to get this root process successfully done, from the very start to the end
pls include to the post the files and program that are needed to get this done ..
Thank you by the way to the early post you've (Amadeuzz) done I really appreciate it!! :good::good: I just don't know on how to get through it you deserves thanks :angel:
I hope you Amadeuzz would elaborate it more in a simple way plss plss

[Q] Bad rooting of android phone?

Hi
I rooted my phone today. Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570.
It went quite well. I deleted all the bloatware that I didn't want etc.
After all that was gone I starting disabling things that I thought was extra. At one point the phone switched off and didn't come on again. I rebooted it and when it did come back on the only things I can access now are the notification panel at the top of my page, my volume control and the power key. The screen has gone black. I cant use anything else now. Its obvious I've disabled the home screen or something.
What can I do, if anything?
Really appreciate any help. Thank you.

You have removed the "homescreen" (Launcher)
Do you have usb debugging enabled?
If so then you can move a launcher apk to /data/app
(if you need a launcher apk and instructions to do this then ask me )
if not then go find a cwm launcher installer (if you have recovery installed)
and flash that.
It will give you a launcher to work with.
If you need help with modding or removing apps, etc.
Then you can pm me so we don't spam this thread.

Use Samsung PC suite it will fix all the errors in your phone then root it again.

An apk is an application package for android.
The homescreen is the app that is run when you unlock the screen. (It is also known as the launcher)
You will need the drivers for your phone.
Which you can obtain from your manufacturers website. (Example: Samsung mesmerize > Support > downloads > driver.msi)
I have attached a zip file that needs to be extracted. (I put it together just for you )
Once extracted you must go inside the extracted folder and double click the start file.
Follow the instructions from there.
You will not need to connect wirelessly so just press enter.
It does almost all the work for you.

It's not a flash zip.
Its a script.
Go herehttp://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-S5570EGAMET-downloads
Then install the kies from software tab
run that and plug your phone in with usb.
Then let it detect it and install whatever is necessary.
Make sure it has a connection then try my tool.
My tool is a Windows script.
For Windows.
Not Android.
Extract my zip and run the start file.
If it detects your device then let it fix your stuff.

It cant get any clearer than that. Really appreciate this. I just need to get onto the computer now. Will do it in the next 24 hours and let you know how I get on.

I have a zip here as an attachment. (The Cwm veersion of my homescreen Repair)
Don't use it without a backup in recovery.
You might have to disable signature checking.
Make sure you put the zip on the sd card of the phone.
Goto mounts and storage in recovery and make sure that /data is MOUNTED!
I repeat, Mount /data FIRST.
Then go flash the zip from the sdcard or adb sideload(>Haven't tested sideloading)
Reboot. Enjoy.
Update!
It doesn't work for some reason.
Can I get a dev to help me?

Bump.

md1_db and ap_db files gretel A7
md1_db and ap_db files. Are there ways to get them somehow. I lost my IMEI and trying to write it with SN writer, but manufacturer did not send me those files, just tool.

Menaged to restore IMEI. Engineering mode doesn't work because there is no CDS settimg. SN writer also not working because of mentioned files missing.
At the end I had to root device, install mobile uncle apk and another tool within mobile uncla app and write it from there.

Hi,
My father have the same phone, and the same issues. I plan to flash the stock ROM and root it.
Which apps have you removed (pretty important, cause I can access to the phone just for some days, when I visit him) ?
And how ? Something like root uninstaller can do the trick ?
Thanks a lot

First you have to flash ROM.
NOTICE:
1.before connecting phone to PS always remove battery
2.Doing "Firmware upgrade" will not work, "Download only" also not working. Do "Format all". This will erase your IMEI, but after flashing and rooting you can install Chamelephon from Play Store and write your IMEI.
I did it with:

There are rooting instructions for rooting with TWRP through Recovery mode, in Power point on this Forum but can't find it right now. After rooting install Unninstall app from Play Store and it would suggest what apps you could unninstall. As i remember there are apps like Medias and com.android.com.service, and so. You should even delete it in file manager if located.
AND VERY IMPORTANT, if you ever try to sign in vit another Google account, or new account to your device, medias will emerge again, so you need to erase it again. It seems that it is a bug that appears with signing in to Google.

First you have to flash ROM.
NOTICE:
1.before connecting phone to PS always remove battery
2.Doing "Firmware upgrade" will not work, "Download only" also not working. Do "Format all". This will erase your IMEI, but after flashing and rooting you can install Chamelephon from Play Store and write your IMEI.

Thanks a lot for your time
What exactly do you mean by :
before connecting to PS (<= is for SP Flash Tool ?) always remove the battery (it's seem also unclear in the ppt, at a certain point, it's said to turn off the phone, then connect it for doing things with SP Flash Tool, then turn on by pressing Volume Up and Power Buttons. Is it right than we have to do it with the phone off ? And without battery like you suggest or we just remove the battery for a complet reset, and put it back when connecting to SP flash Tool, or let it remove when using SP ?)
com.android.service seems effectively a part of the problems, it appears in android warning message he receives. It could be usefull to create a list of apps than could safely be remove, for fixing the adware issues, I will do it, but I certainly not doing it before some weeks, I don't have the phone right now.
Thanks for the IEMI trick, I didn't know than an IEMI could be delete so easily.

It is a typing mistake, I ment PC. When connecting phone to the PC with USB you need to remove the battery first (it doesn's say so in the instructions), because if the battery is inside the phone will start charging and connecting to PC like external drive and na Flash can't be performed. When formating and flashing with SP tool is done, than you can disconnect from PC, insert battery, and Root with instructions below through Recovery mode.
Here are a Root instructions

This adds popup, and background ram eating processes are a common problem with cheap smartphones from alixpress. There are several "cleaned" ROM-s from PDA developers for Gretel A7, but I didn't want to risk because the phone is now working fine, no bugs etc. Only thing that is pain in the ... is a proximity sensor that doesn't work, and it seems to be a hardware issue, so i need to manually turn off screen after answering the call.
