Anyone able to help with Root ? I picked up a link in a HTC thread on Whirlpool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1192300
got as far as S Off (Security Off), Updated Clockwork Recovery mod- v4.0.1.4, Now I am stuck on To permanently root your Sensation part 3. When trying to update: When I go to flash clock work/Revolutionary it says: (bad) Can't open Install aborted, though that said some users are having this error and the root is still successful according to XDA however for me I got Root check off the Market and it returns a failed result on Basic and some times a pass on Advanced but some times not. Busybox,Super user,Titanium back up are all saying I'm not rooted to don't have Root permissions.
Have a look at the link below it contains 4 photos of my sensations screen as I went through the process it will no doubt give you a better idea of my problem. It's a link to my blog BTW. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a member of XDA so thought I would try my luck here before having to create yet another account somewhere Thank You.
Best look at the photos from bottom to top as they uploaded back to front, order of process is bottom to top.

So did you download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1311991644 file and flashed it via recovery?
I have S-OFF and I flashed that file I have full root. I then used ROM Manager to flash clockworkmod (CWM) because ROM Manager doesn't see the recovery that came with the S-OFF.
I just backed up my Telstra ROM. It just finished a minute ago.
Yes I did flash that via Recovery inc. the old su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip AND the new su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip.version I've tried the other couple of suggested methods on that link I posted and nothing seems to be working. Sadly can't see were I have gone wrong.
Here is a link to another two photos with the error message I am getting.

Did you install ROM Manager? I installed ROM Manager and used that to flash CWM and all is working fine here.
EDIT:
My bad. You did say you can't get full root. Don't really know why it won't work for you. Mine worked first go.

Yeah I have Rom manager but I can't do anything with it everything returns an error.

I just figured that out, my bad. I understand that rooting doesn't stick.
Phenomenal MATT
Sounds like you were one of the lucky ones cause if you read the comments after the steps many people are have minor issues. I'm ashamed to say I've being at it all day VERY FRUSTRATING !!!
Yes I put the ZIP file into 'The Root' of the SD card (Main section of SD Card) and yes in recovery I can see that zip file but when I click open it says:
Can't open /sdcrd/su2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I've tried over 30 times same thing every single time. HEADACHES !!! lol
Sooo looking forward to a solution. I might have to creat a XDA account and post it in the questions section there, looks as though questions are getting answered pretty quick (Good support) ...WITH ALL THAT SAID IF ANYONE HERE CAN HELP I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL.

You've probably already tried this, but if not, have you downloaded the su zip again? could it be corrupt?
EDIT: I am really new to Android. Got my phone the day it came to Telstra. You are probably better off on the XDA forums.
Phenomenal MATT
I signed up for XDA but they expect you to make 10 posts elsewhere on their forum before allowing you to comment on the Sensation Dev. one (The comments under the instructions in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1192300
Yeah I downloaded it on PC, Mac, Mac with Boot camp, Zipped, un Zipped and even tried the old Zip file it says to try in trouble shouting section then followed buy the new Zip file.
Awwwww Well Patients a vertue ... Hopefully it's all worth it.
Seems like the guy already gave you your answer. Just download the zip again. You probably have a corrupted download. And make sure that signature verification is off in recovery. Should work.
I've downloaded over 30 times on 3 different computers + straight to Sensation as a hard Disk tried Zipped, unzipped you name it... PC - Mac Normal sd card, Micro SD card... & Also like to add Sign. verify is off too tried it on and off, I a award the file needs to be zipped and that needs to be off just trying everything here pulling my hair out.
Do You go CWM > Advance . backup ur Rom ?
I'm using rev. And I go to backup and restore click on back up after its complete 10 minutes later I go and try to get the zipped file but it fails every time.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using XDA App
Finally got it to work. I had to download it from the net with my phone to download folder as opposed to with a pc then moving it to main root folder on SD card. Question is now what ? I want to over clock but I want to keep sense. Do all Roms remove sense ? Leedroid ? What else is recommended now I'm rooted. Btw thanks again everyone for your help.

Thanks Matt
Thanks for posting this, Phenomenal Matt. I had the EXACT same problem that you posted about. Copying the su zip file to my phone's sdcard while the phone was mounted as a drive did not work at all. I had to download the su zip file on my phone before Clockwork Recovery was able to successfully install it and give me root.
This is the Stock 8.6.5.13 US update repackaged with:
* Clockworkmod support (It does not include CWM, but doesn't reflash the recovery partition either)
* Rooted (includes SuperUser.apk & su 3.0.0)
* Busybox (1.19.2)
This update worked fine on my TF101. I built it using the same method Roach2010 used to make his previous CWM-repacks so it should be ok. I have only tested this on my own tf101. Let us know when it works for yours too!
This will not work unless you have:
1. clockworkmod
2. STOCK firmware (root is fine)
3. the US or WW firmware
4. firmware 8.6.5.9
If this update will not apply, take note of which assert stopped the process. You probably applied some sort of mod to your transformer.
There was an issue in the initial release. If you downloaded it, delete it and download the new one.

The Update checker will verify all of the same files that the update verifies. It will not stop on the first error. This way, you can see ALL the files which will cause errors and fix them all at once without the tedious reboot / try update / reboot / fix problem / reboot / try update loop.

Seems you didn't edit the update-script to remove that check. Either way let me know how it goes. I made myself an cwm zip that I used to update my TF this afternoon. I didn't bother to add in SU seeing as though the update is just a patch and the TF should already be rooted.
@daoist If your new update.zip doesn't work let me know I'll upload mines and you can post it.
Hi,
I am still pretty new to all of this, I have rooted my TF, right now I have a US ver 8.6.5.9 rooted with CWM and I am getting the notification to update firmware.
Is this the file I need to update my TF and keep root, it looks to me like it is but I am not 100% sure, also I am not sure how to apply the patch.
To apply this do I use CWM? The step[s I think I need to do is
1. copy the file top my SD card,
2. Boot to CWM
3. choose install zip
4. pick the zip downloaded from this thread
5. then watch and make sure works, then reboot
OH, I have the netflix patch (libnvomx) file copied over the original in my TF, should I put the original back before trying ng this?
Is this correct?
thanks for any help and the file!!

You referring to the check that goes through and looks for mods and missing apps? Is it possible someone could upload a version that doesnt run that check? I replaced SustemUI and basically deleted everything I didnt need (and didnt back up individual files, just made a full backup) so it would take me a while to track down all of the APKs.
If I recall someone posted the .9 update without the check for the existing apps.
EDIT: I actually found a backup for my stock apps and copied all of them back over and its still failing. AWS.odex, first one (and its installed).

Yep, that's correct.
One note is because of how the TF handles storage, you want this in your /Removable/microSD. If you put it in /sdcard it's not actually in your sdcard.
When you reboot into CWM make sure to choose to pick a file from your sdcard, rather than just applying update.zip (in case you didn't actually name it update.zip)

The problem with removing the check is that this update is doing patching, rather than replacing files.
If you're just replacing files, you can skip the checks and it will work fine.
If you're patching files, if you skip the check, the patching process will not work (best case scenario). will leave your system in a quasi-updated state (middle case), or destroy the target file (worst case).
Maybe someone who's still on 8.5.6.9 can post their AWS.odex file for you to copy onto your device?
The issue is I have it back on my device, I found it, and the update is still hanging on that.

Hi,
Thanks for the help! It worked like a charm, no problems at all.
I am wondering now, do I need to update my CWM recovery, or do I just leave it how it is?
thanks for the file and help!!!
Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of the notification...
Has anyone noticed the web browser performance? Is it still checkerboard on display? Where it displays the page in chunks... and is this android 3.2.1? or just firmware update?
Worked fine on mine, Thx.

Would it be possible to remove the check and the patch? I am looking at the updater script, what I would love is to just remove its check and attempt at patching the bloatware.
For Example, the Check:
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/Finsky.apk", "19a70336522820f20a9e1d9f065ae56a714aa7cf", "690dc80af4303cb2df1991de9d52c269211e1dcf"));
set_progress(0.116486);
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/Finsky.odex", "fda5fbff54fc6c35b9210afd4a3b76b6a8862d83", "59412510a7d0a789b1e732dbffdc9feb3245e964"));
set_progress(0.119390);
And the Update:
apply_patch("/system/app/Finsky.apk", "-",
19a70336522820f20a9e1d9f065ae56a714aa7cf, 1070527,
690dc80af4303cb2df1991de9d52c269211e1dcf, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/Finsky.apk.p"));
set_progress(0.135043);
apply_patch("/system/app/Finsky.odex", "-",
fda5fbff54fc6c35b9210afd4a3b76b6a8862d83, 655760,
59412510a7d0a789b1e732dbffdc9feb3245e964, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/Finsky.odex.p"));
set_progress(0.138224);
If I didnt want it to update finksy (bad example but just one I grabbed) could I just delete everything above from the script? In the case of something like Zinio I dont even want the update since I nixed the underlying app.
I actually tried something like that but it failed immediately, no error. Im wondering if I havent zipped it up right.
Yeah, if you search through the update script for the name of the file that's erroring out, there's 2 places. First the assert, then the patch. Get rid of both and you're fine.
I'd google what those files are before you remove them from the script, just to be safe.
Just for example, Finsky is part of Market
Im wondering if there is something I am doing wrong or if there is a trick to zipping it back up. I tried removing those lines (for AWS, not Finsky ) and the update failed without an error (just aborted).
Im wondering, should I be leaving that set progress, zipping using a particular method?
The biggest problem I had was making sure the files were saved with unix line-endings. If you edited it in notepad or something like that it may have defaulted to windows line-endings.
Hi can you add this to 1st post:
CWM package for ASUS FOTA Update 8.6.5.13 WW
(with root and CWM recovery)
http://www.multiupload.com/KTGLKFJME5
If it gives you an error about some file check, edit update script and put a "#" before the line of that file.
Okay, have found a lot of threads similar to this, but with key differences that are making the answers not-terribly-helpful in my particular circumstances. Not a comment on the answers, but enough that I feel the need to ask my question specifically.
I am trying to gain more control over my MyTouch 4g Slide (aka Doubleshot), obviously on T-Mobile.
It is running Android 2.3.4, and has hboot 1.45.0013. I have wiped it a few times in the process of fuxing with it, so right now I'm not worried about losing anything other than basic function (i.e., bricking it is still bad).
I have tried the zergrush exploit (it's been closed),
have managed to unlock the bootloader using the HTC unlock tool,
and have managed to flash the appropriate Clockworkmod recovery and get the blue menu to come up.
My overall goal isn't to do any major overhauls- I want to be able to allow some apps to turn my GPS on and off, clean out some bloatware, and put some new ringtones into the same folder as the stock ones. My understanding is that temporary root access is enough to do these things- go in and clean up, change some permissions on apps, then go back to being a normal user, just like with a well-managed Linux computer.
I just can't seem to get the next step to work.
My understanding is that I now somehow use Clockworkmod to install Superuser from the .zip archive. The options I get in the recovery screen are:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
backup and restore
mounts and storage
advanced
power off
My impression is that I should be using "install zip from sdcard" to install Superuser, but when I select that, the menu just disappears, and I am left looking at the logo, with no further options. I have seen it implied that there should be choices about which zip to install- those never come up.
What am I missing? My google-fu is failing me in trying to find instructions or guides for this particular combination of limitations and progress.
EDIT TO ADD: Ah- found part of my problem... the recovery menu uses the camera button, not the power button. Still somewhat at a loss to see what's next. Installing from the SD card fails. Info in a second post.
Got the menu working, but now failing to install Superuser. I get the following output:
Mounting SYSTEM...
Deleting SYSTEM:bin/su...
Extracting files to SYSTEM...
Setting SYSTEM:bin/su permissions to 06755...
Creating SYSTEM:xbin/su symbolic link...
E:Error in /sdcard/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
Now what?
I am seeing in other places that HBOOT 1.45.0013 can't be rooted. I've been trying for about 9 hours to do this. . .no luck, even with a variety of methods.
bummer.
I'm in the same boat as the both of you. Spent the last two hours and enough tabs in my browser that my music player was skipping when switching between them, and my machine is nothing to be scoffed at!
There just doesn't seem to be enough clear information about how to root this device, and with only 7 pages of development threads, it's gonna be hard to be told to search!
In recovery you use the trackpad to navigate, and select....also, why not just flash a pre rooted stock rom? Follow the directions in this thread, it will work with any rom, not just ICS roms. I used the instructions in this thread to install Bulletproof on my Bf's phone which was an insurance replacement, so it had the same hboot that you guys have, and S-on. It worked flawlessly, I am not sure why so many people are having such a hard time, because it worked the first time perfectly for me.

Edit: Which recovery are you using?
Woot! Oops...
Well, I managed to root my phone... and then borked it through my own overexuberance. :headdesk: Oh well, I can fix it. Important part:
I finally found out what "Status 0" means- the zip you are trying to install wasn't signed properly. I re-downloaded, no luck. But there is an option to turn off signature checking in CWM, and that worked, after some fiddling- Superuser installed and worked fine. Not sure if re-downloading ended up being relevant or not.
So, you can root this version without flashing a new ROM.
That said, I think I probably did enough weirdness to mine that I will go for a new stock ROM, so much thanks to yellowjacket for posting that thread link. Removed HTC Sense, then somehow borked Go Launcher Ex, so my phone doesn't have a home screen and I can't get to the app I used to move stuff to fix it. Of course I never found a set of instructions for making a Nandroid backup until after I messed things up... Oh, well, time to go looking for the stock ROM.
Thanks all!
If anyone has a Nandroid backup or copy of the dead-standard out-of-the-box ROM for this phone, please let me know. All I am finding is modified versions. Can't find the base that they were made from, and even the most basic version says it requires S-OFF to install. :headdesk:
Do you specifically need a nandroid backup, or would a flashable ZIP do? Pointers to the latter are available.
Flashable zip would actually be preferable, and pointers would be very much appreciated. I know they have to be out there somewhere, I'm just not finding the right search terms to locate them among all the modified versions.
Look at this post in the developer reference thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17384145&postcount=7
(There's lots of stuff listed there, but look for the 400 MB+ images.)
NOTE: Some ZIP tools get confused by these signed ZIPs, so they might seem corrupt. Check the MD5s to see that you got a good download. 7Zip seems to deal with them OK if you want to look inside.
I have personally flashed the 1.28 and 1.55 ZIPs without incident, but I did check the MD5s.
Well, I was not able to restore the ROMS from the links wjcarpenter linked- everything worked fine, as far as I can tell, but the phone said the "updates" were older than what was originally installed, so the installation was aborted. Not sure how to fix/handle that.
For the moment, I have one of the cleaned-up ROMs that is very similar to stock, but I would really rather it not be obvious that I rooted the phone the second you start it up (the one I found has changed the startup animations), so I will keep looking.
If it's going to be obvious that I changed the ROM, I guess I might as well start looking for the best custom ROM... any suggestions as to which is the most stable?

Just think of it as a big learning experience! The first time I rooted a phone, I messed it up so much I had to keep flashing back to stock and rerooting at least 3 or 4 times. Thankfully I had a phone that was virtually unbrickable. It was a good learning experience though, and I now feel comfortable rooting and flashing on several different devices.

download from androidsu and either save it directly to the ROOT of your sdcard, or copy and paste to the root of your sd card. i always get that same error when i install superuser from a folder in my sd card.
I'm pretty new at installing Roms and such, but I do have a successful install of the Illusion Rom 2.6 Beta on my phone. I tried to update, and I couldn't get the file to install.
I use ClockworkMod, and when I try to install the ZIP from my external SD, it tells me there's something wrong with the file. I have downloaded it multiple times, thinking maybe it was a corrupted copy I put on. Same results. (Now, I could be missing something, as the file is listed as a Grouper, and I'm not sure what that means.)
Any suggestions or info would be very helpful. Thank you!

As you wrote, the file may be corrupted during downlad. Why don't you check the MD5 ( check with google to learn how). Another reason that, the file may be something else than the required rom.
After an extensive search of both this site and using google for the error, I am stuck at a crossroads in terms of trying to install the GPE DigitalHigh edition on my HTC One M8.
The issue is as follows:
Installed RUU of GPE 5.1 (this is the only RUU I have at present)
Did all the various system & cache wipes etc using TWRP
Did the filesize repair on System
Tried to install the above ROM using the installer and got the following error:
failed to mkdir /system/etc/firmware/wcd9320/wcd9320_mbhc.bin: No space left on device
And then the various symlink errors associated and an Installation Status 7 Failed
Now I get the issue, in that the /system folder is clearly not big enough, an issue with the GPE RUU from what I have read. However, the only advice I can find to rectify this is to use the RESIZE option in Advanced Wipe in TWRP. However, I have done this, I've even done it a few times in succession in case it is like the RUU process and doesn't necessarily work first time. However, another run of the installer and I get the exact same error. Looking at my system (in Wipe) after a failed install, I can even see that the system partition is full, but I don't know how else I can resize it to avoid this error.
As I said, trawled through almost 500+ posts trying to find answers, from where I gleaned the above information, but no other way to resize the system partition than the method I tried. Therefore, I would genuinely appreciate any help anyone could give in overcoming this error, by whatever method is best/works best.
I have full log file from my failed install and can also explain the steps I took / files I used in more detail too if necessary. At present, it's just a case of another RUU of the GPE 5.1 at the moment until I can find a solution Purely wanting to install so I have the M8 camera functionality back if anybody has any other tips for achieving this other than the above (again, searches etc have led me to the camera.apk, I've had it installed etc but the editor still goes to the FX editor, without any of the HTC sense camera functions (like Duo, U-Focus etc) that I am keen to get back.
Again, apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but it's not for the want of looking, and as a new user not allowed to post directly on the ROM post yet. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sie

Now I get the issue, in that the /system folder is clearly not big enough, an issue with the GPE RUU from what I have read. However, the only advice I can find to rectify this is to use the RESIZE option in Advanced Wipe in TWRP. However, I have done this, I've even done it a few times in succession in case it is like the RUU process and doesn't necessarily work first time. However, another run of the installer and I get the exact same error. Looking at my system (in Wipe) after a failed install, I can even see that the system partition is full, but I don't know how else I can resize it to avoid this error.
As I said, trawled through almost 500+ posts trying to find answers, from where I gleaned the above information, but no other way to resize the system partition than the method I tried. Therefore, I would genuinely appreciate any help anyone could give in overcoming this error, by whatever method is best/works best.
I have full log file from my failed install and can also explain the steps I took / files I used in more detail too if necessary. At present, it's just a case of another RUU of the GPE 5.1 at the moment until I can find a solution Purely wanting to install so I have the M8 camera functionality back if anybody has any other tips for achieving this other than the above (again, searches etc have led me to the camera.apk, I've had it installed etc but the editor still goes to the FX editor, without any of the HTC sense camera functions (like Duo, U-Focus etc) that I am keen to get back.
Again, apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but it's not for the want of looking, and as a new user not allowed to post directly on the ROM post yet. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sie

You would have a better chance of finding a working solution if you go to the M8 forum.
I'll bet @xunholyx can get you straight, he's pretty experienced with the M8 I think.

After an extensive search of both this site and using google for the error, I am stuck at a crossroads in terms of trying to install the GPE DigitalHigh edition on my HTC One M8.
The issue is as follows:
Installed RUU of GPE 5.1 (this is the only RUU I have at present)
Did all the various system & cache wipes etc using TWRP
Did the filesize repair on System
Tried to install the above ROM using the installer and got the following error:
failed to mkdir /system/etc/firmware/wcd9320/wcd9320_mbhc.bin: No space left on device
And then the various symlink errors associated and an Installation Status 7 Failed

You need to run a Sense RUU to resize your partitions. The GPE system partition is too small for Sense based ROMs and RUU is how you fix it. Just like you ran a GPE RUU to resize your partitions for that.

If you don't know where to get the RUU, or if you need instructions, post/reply here and I'll give you complete directions on how to do it.

Thanks for your reply. Really appreciate your help. I think I'm ok with the RUU process itself, as I ran it to get to this point, however I'm not sure where to locate the RUU I would need to effectively "roll back" to stock, so any help with that, and directing me in which of the plethora to choose would be greatly appreciated! Perhaps if you could give me simple instructions, so it's not too time consuming for you, but to ensure I'm not missing anything in the RUU process that could lead to further complications, that would be a big help too!

Download this splash.zip, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip and place it onto your extSD. Boot into bootloader and select hboot if it doesn't automatically. Vol up to flash, power to reboot. That'll repartition your phone, but with old firmware. Delete the renamed zip from extSD, otherwise every time you boot to hboot it'll try to update again.
Next, download this RUU onto your PC to update to Lollipop. Hook up your phone and double click on the download, then follow the prompts. You'll probably get a "fail hboot pre-update" (or something like that). The first run updates the hboot with old firmware. Just run the RUU a second time without disconnecting, and the conversion back to Sense will be complete.

You are an absolute star, thank you. Will give this a bash when I get home from football later today, and let you know how I get on or if I have any problems. Great written instructions though, thanks!

Just had a try, get Update Fail! in red text when I try to do the Hboot. Not sure why?
Thanks,

I'm not sure.
Try the splash.zip download and instructions from here. It should be the same file, but trying another download and flashing from your PC might work better for you.

Brilliant, tried those and it worked a treat. Then installed using the RUU you gave me, and as promised I was greeted with a full back to stock Sense version, and have been able to install the ROM I wanted. Thanks once again for all your help, truly appreciated!
I'm guessing it was the CID that was causing the error, if anybody has the same problem in the future and ends up on this thread. I'm guessing if I'd have changed the CID your method with the HBOOT would probably have worked too (as out of curiosity I tried the HBOOT method with your file and it then worked).
Thanks again, great to know there are people out there willing to try and help each other. :highfive:
