I downgraded my legend to 2.1 , 1.3.X build version. I would I like to go the 2.2 version - but it should be rooted, how do i do so ?
-e-
My HBOOT is on 1.0 , how do i go to 0.43 ?
any help guys ?
DAMN. Need some reply guys ! Here il put it once again nicely for you:
I just downgraded my legend from 2.2 froyo to 2.1 , 1.3X build. I want to root it but my HBOOT version is 1.00. Will this be a problem because i think i require 0.43? If so , how do i proceed ?
Also I would like to go to Froyo again. Therefore which ROM is the original FROYO ROM for Legend which is on root and also provides ROOT ?
Also i would like to know if we are on ROOT , can we change ROMS on the fly ? Like , when and where we want without the need for a PC ?
well I have no experience with your phone model at all, but couldn't you just try and download one of the root apps from the market? I used one click lag fix on my galaxy s, but I don't know if it would work with your model.
As for roms, I use rom manager and that allows me to flash to new roms whenever I want without the need of a computer.

Which is the best ROM Manager that I must install ? And also , what is the Clockwork Recovery Mod ? How is it used ???

Rom manager is an app in the market. But, you must be rooted and more importantly, make sure that your phone is compatible with everything. Clockwork is a modified recovery menu that comes with rom manager. It has a lot more options than the stock recovery menu. Rom manager and clockwork are very helpful in creating backups in case you cant boot up or something but can still access the recovery menu.
Make sure you know how to fix your phone if you ended up bricking it, that the rom you look at is compatible with your current setup, etc...
But like I said, I know nothing about your phone at all so it could work differently. Read up on everything you can in the Forums for it.

Hi my first post, i was brought here from sony web site FOTA issues.
i don't know if this can be resolved and i have briefly looked around here for a specific answer so please excuse me if i have missed a thread about this issue or placed this tread in the wrong section.
I am using Sony Xperia Miro St23i android v 4.0.4 build 11.0.A.5.5
I previously rooted my phone and everything was good until i updated via the Sony update service.
my rooted applications no longer worked, i tried to un-root and root it but it is neither here not there!
I have reset to factory settings, root checkers say i have no root, but when i come to re-root it says am i rooted? see attachment:
I would like to root my phone again any push in the right direction would be of great help.
again i apologise if this has been previously answered.
kind regards

Try installing super user from play store, it gives applications root access ( if you have)

have you tried flashing ftf with flash tool or repair phone feature in pc companion that should completely reset your phone
re
Hi thanks for posting,
i've installed the 4.0.4 - 11.0.A.2.10 and put it in the firmware folder
* installed the drivers for flashmode and fastboot mode:
* i tried repair mode but that still left me in 4.0.4 - 11.0.A.5.5 am i right in thinking you cant root 5.5 for xperia miro St23i?
* i did have it rooted in 11.0.A.2.10 but once i updated in pc companion root was lost.
^ am i missing something here?
re
so the St23i driver is missing lolz any one know where i can find it?

1- you should port other phone's rom to your phone and then flash it.. only then will you be able to use that rom on your phone..
2- Google stock rom/original firmware <your phone 'name> .. if its available on the internet then you will find one.. or else you will need to do a nandroid backup or extract it..
3- there is no general rom which works on all phones rightaway.. there is cyanogenmod which is by far available for all phones (don't know about Chinese phones) .. but you will have to do some tweaks or modification to work on a specific phone because different phones have different hardwares..
4-4.1.2 is jb and not ics.. you will have to put cm10 or probably delete the bloatware installed by your supplier..
5- as i said before you need to port cm9 for your phone.. there are many noob friendly guides on xda to help porting roms.. check out

Best thing you could do is find a similar device to your phone's spec's and find a Rom you like from that phone and then port it to your phone using the many noob friendly guides in chef central

try srsroot,unlock root,z4 root.. if you're not getting your Rom you extract it yourself. I think before porting any Rom,you have to figure out root for your phone because NO CUSTOM ROM WILL WORK WITHOUT ROOT.. try srsroot, it has rooted many unconventional devices also.. Google srsroot,download it from their official website and try..
so i tryed all thos methods...

does your phone has locked bootloader or UNlocked one?
I have a same problem...any ideas?
How good are these phones?
very good phones
A suggestion...
I'm not 100 % you can do it but there is a slight chance you can root your phone through fastboot ! Maybe pushing the su binary and apk through adb and giving permissions or maybe flasing a custom CWM Rrecovery through fastboot and flashing an SU flashable zip through that recovery !
BUT be awere BOTH of these methods are BIG MAYBE ! I can not test and I can not ensure you any of these will work !
You can get a flashable SU package here :
1) Superuser : http://androidsu.com/superuser/
2) Super SU : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
you can
yes you can
i know page on Facebook that support me to root my device and install cmw
Chinese smart phone support
I used this to root my i9400, hope it helps!

Im having an old Yarvik TAB220 tablet bought 2 years ago. It was forgotten for long and now that i opened it its still on android 2.3.4.
I dont know if it can be updated further but i believe it can as Yarvik has provided upgrade tools.
Here are the problems that wont let me update it:
Cant install drivers when connecting to pc. I've downloaded and tried to install them manually, still windows 7 wont recognize them.
Without being able to be detected by computer, i cant use the YarvikUpgradeTool.
I tried to root it, it said it was already rooted?
All i want is to update it to at least android 4 and root it so i can have google market and all the other apps.
Is there a way to have android updated without using the computer? It has not update option on system information. I know the thread is missing some info about the tablet so please ask me whatever extra is needed.

As i see it there is no real rom support. I did have experience with yarvik tablets. mine came loaded with 4.1.2 but it broke.
i recommend you to invest in a new tablet. I havent tried this yet but. try installing the drivers manualy. as i cant load it up and update it and install the drivers. Try installing it with other computers(like a friend or youre parents).
soz i am from Netherlands as my english isnt great

Hi, couple weeks ago I bought Acer Iconia One 7 B1-770-K476 NT.LBTAA.001. Seems that it is a new model and I can't find any info or faq how to make root on it. I tried different tools (framaroot, kingroot and others) but no success.
Also strange thing in setting (Apps), no option (button) to move app to SD card. Install some apps and tablet is full.
Will be glad for your help.
At first want to root it. Then need recovery to be able to use custom firmwares.
Thanks!
I used king root to root my tablet, but we gonna need a custom recovery to install xposed and be able to move apps to the sd
I also used kingroot to get root. The PC version, not the apk. To move apps to SDcard im using the paid version of Link2sd, the free one doesnt let you move the whole apps. I havent found any custom roms or recovery though.
carlosomar222, or unleashurfreak, can any of you elaborate?
I was unable to use KingRoot (PC version) because it never detected my tablet.
Where did you get the drivers?
You can find drivers on the acer support web site, but you can just try using the apk instead, its easier, by the way I managed to install xposed framework using flashfire that way you can run a module to use the SD card as internal storage , now we just need a custom recovery, i also replaced king root with super su using a script I found on a website, I can get the link if anyone is interested

The KingRoot APK did not work.
It was unable to find a solution for my device.
Could it possibly be because I have the latest update installed?
That's why I want to try the PC version instead.
Unfortunately, the drivers fail to install on my PC.
Are you also using B1-770?
Has anyone else successfully rooted this device?
And if you have, could you please share the steps you took to do so?
Really appreciated!
I also have a B1-770 with the latest update. The PC version of King Root failed.

Don't try to root b1-770 models, is brick your device.
I have tried many PC/APK rootkit, nothing work. For finish, I have returned the tablet on the store to get new one, OS have crashed (many errors with build-in apps, wifi problems, startup of device very long).
In my tests, I have found the reason of impossibility to root this tablet;
- Bootloader is locked
- No pre-root
- Android 5 have more security about rootkit
- Rootkit is only made for Android 4.x and lower
- Acer have added few security and reject all modifications on system files (with and without the Android protection)

For now, no. Many reason make it hard to root. is not impossible, but no right solution for this tablet.
Keep in mind...
- Android 4.x and lower have few security breach and can be rooted with many way; B1-770 is under Android 5.0.1
- Other Android device are pre-root (User on device is not root but if you connect by ADB, you have the root); B1-770 is not pre-root, SU is protected (trying modifing this files, and others make a crash when trying to update OS)
- Unlock bootloader, or unlocked bootloader can make easy root with right kit; B1-770 have a locked bootloader, Acer not offer any way to unlock it.
Is possible to root, but need a skill with Android OS, can compile your own Android OS version, insert root, and upload/replace it on the tablet. But you need to know what you made. You can also extract bootloader, modifing it, etc.... but need a high skill in Android security.
DON'T TRY FASTBOOT; Under ADB, you can reboot the device on Fastboot mode. But Windows not have the drivers for handle this mode. You need to Reset/reboot tablet for returning in Android OS (the hole between power and volume button).
I have searched many roots, because whant to move installed APP on my SD Card (with symlink), Android have removed this feature since 4.4.x (some devices have always this feature, is added by the developper). Rooting this tablet is totally unsafe; don't known if you loose some options of tablet (ex; my cell phone, if is rooted, camera stop working, with my other tablet, the wifi have some problems to keep connection long time).
My suggestion; wait a root and few comments about this before root. You must keep a unrooted tablet running good between a bricked tablet can't run anything.

Did you install any firmware updates though? I believe that's what's not letting KingRoot work as it did with you.

Any news on new root?
Need to get some developers on it, sadly this always happens with this kind of devices, best bet is to wait for a new method for similar devices using the same chipset
Hey
I rooted my acer iconia b1 770!
Download king root v.4.5 and let it flow...
