I was reading the threads in the dream forum and found his progress and instructions. I added them to my wiki so they can be continually edited and updated as new methods are found. I did not have any part in this but I noticed that there was not a formal post here about it yet so I decided to make one.
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting
Please feel free to thank him with some nesquik if you find this helpful!
I was pasting the new instructions here every time they changed but they seem to change often. Please visit the above url to see the current instructions. They were placed on the the wiki so anyone could make edits and changes to them, which is useless if this post needs to be updated each time. I wish vbulletin had some sort of wiki quote that could auto read that page and insert it here for me
Great!
If would be great if this post were a sticky. It also would be nice it the post was updated to include the instructions here as well.
Thanks,
Anders
Just quoting the solution here..
First of all, everyone owes Haykuro a great big thanks for working on this and helping create the solution without even owning a magic. The following is his method just reworded slightly.
1. To gain root access on your HTC Magic/Sapphire you will need to download the magic-root-boot.img zip file and unzip it so that you have boot-new.img in a location you can find.
2. On your device, enter the bootloader by trying one of the following
* Turn off your device and while it is off hold down home while you press power.
* Turn off your device and while it is off hold down volume down while pressing power
3. Make sure your usb cable is inserted and you have Fastboot installed and ready to use.
4. Type the following commands on your desktop (not on the device):
Code:
fastboot boot boot-new.img
5. wait for the following to flash and the phone to reboot:
Code:
downloading 'boot-new.img'... OKAY
Code:
booting... OKAY
6. make sure you have ADB installed and run the following commands from your desktop (not on the device):
Code:
adb push boot-new.img /sdcard/boot-new.img
Code:
adb shell flash_image boot /sdcard/boot-new.img
anyone tried this?
I was going to post the actual text here but the reason for doing it in the wiki is because the methods seem to change very often (the g1 method changed almost daily for a while). I would still recommend viewing the instructions on the wiki before performing the method to be sure they are the same at the time of use.
Full procedure so far!
1. Download boot-new.img.zip from http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/boot-new.img.zip
2. extract boot-new.img to computer.
3. Download recovery-new.img.zip from http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/recovery-new.img.zip
4. extract recovery-new.img to computer.
5. power off device
6. hold BACK+POWER (or VOLUME_DOWN+POWER) to boot into bootloader.
7.
Code:
[b]fastboot boot boot-new.img[/b]
wait for device to boot.
[b]adb push boot-new.img /sdcard/boot-new.img[/b]
[b]adb push recovery-new.img /sdcard/recovery-new.img[/b]
[b]adb shell flash_image boot /sdcard/boot-new.img[/b]
[b]adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-new.img[/b]
[b]adb shell reboot[/b]
you now have root build, and can flash whatever build you like (test keys and all)
First post and wiki updated to show these changes in more detail.
Hi,
I have a french Magic and I test this solution.
I have a problem, when I use the adb shell, I am "root", but when I use a terminal shell on the phone I'm not "root". I use "id" for my test.
How can I do ?
Thanks.
Edit : Ok I found the problem.
I make these commands after in adb shell:
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd system
# cd bin
# cat sh > su
# chmod 4755 su
# sync
# reboot
Thanks
n00b here
can we flash ROMs for dream too or need to wait for magic ROMs ?
it's possible to backup the current firmware of my magic (with or without root), before flashing a new one?
thank you for rooting the magic
thank you for your help
ok i have a big problem when i put (fastboot boot boot-new.img) the phone is restarting every time in htc presentation :S
i put the phone in recovery mode ( fastboot usb ), but then i have the same problem, when i put fastboot boot boot-new.bin, the phone restart always with "boot.bin" , no with "boot-new.bin"...
i try to give the complete path, but always the same result
hello i have a problem.
if i write fastboot boot boot-new.img the console says: the comand "fastboot" is incorrect or bla bla ...
i have a german magic.

unrar de SDK, and in the "tools" directory you have the ADB and FASTBOOT aplications ( use in the console mode )
Works perfectly with XP, not with vista or win7
sorry but i dont understand what schould i do.
with use in thee console
i think i have to install fastboot or open it. but i cant do nothing of both. if i click on the fastboot exe it blobs open and fast close again.
under windows xp all ok
under windows vista no!!!
If your phone shuts straight down after pressing the power button and your have no lock screen, read below for solution. Before you do any of this, please note that this was caused by the note radio, aka uclc5, and if u still have it, please remove it! Also causes include a corrupt efs partition. This guide will help to restore key files important to the operation of your phone
There are three methods available. The first and second one are recommended. If you are uncomfortable with adb and command prompt please use method one
UPDATE: This has been confirmed as working on T989!
WARNING!
Method 3 is only to be used if one and two fail, or if you are positive your efs is corrupt!
Original source for solution, with a few method changes by me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1438451
METHOD ONE
1.) Use busy box installer from the market and re-install even if u have it working
2.) If step one doesn't work, install super su updater, and update it, then try step one again.
3.) Boot into cwm and dark side wipe 3x
4.) Flash rooted 2.3.5 from thread below
5.) Boot into rom and install root explorer
6). Navigate to /efs/imei/
7.) Press menu and select new file
8.) Name it "keystr" exactly as in quotes
9.) Long press keystr and select edit in text editor
10.) Type "ON" and press back, selecting save.
11.) Reboot and make sure keystr file is still present.
12.) Now u have a few options. U can flash ics back using either Odin one click (UCLA4 or UCLD2), but I don't recommend this. Flash one of the ics roms from the development section, we have great devs!
Rooted 2.3.5 zip:
http://d-h.st/ce75z460t847
METHOD TWO
1.) You must have the Samsung drivers installed for the skyrocket, available from here:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...ng_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0.exe
2.) Once installed, download the attached zip, its a copy of ADB with the needed file inside
3.) Unzip to any location
4.) Boot phone into cwm
5.) Go into Mounts and Storage, and select "mount /efs". Once done connect usb cable to phone and computer
6.) Open command prompt and navigate to the unzipped adb. Issue the following command "adb devices" it should list phone
7.) Now issue the following command "adb push keystr /efs/imei"
8.) Reboot phone and check presence of keystr file in /efs/imei directory with Root Explorer
METHOD 3
Flash attached EFSFix.zip in cwm and reboot.
A SPECIAL THANKS AND SHOUT OUT TO:
mahausrath and Colombiano80 for providing the efs dumps i needed
cmbrown for being a faithful tester!

This may be just me, but I still can't get this method to work. I can't make a file called keystr. I've tried several times using a multitude of Root exploring programs (EStrong, Root Browser, Root Explorer, Astro, ect.) I make sure it's mounted as write and do the works and it just don't work.
did u try the stuff in the pm I sent?
yea im having the same problem its not saving after shut down..

I can't create the file either, any help would be appreciated.
i've updated the op with a new method. since efs won't allow you to write from inside android, i've used adb with the push command.

What's the problem? You can't use adb?
Ok so here's the break down
i flashed the efsfix.zip
i go into mounts and storage, and mount /efs ( a error saying Cant Mount /efs!)
i go to cmd.exe and find the Adb folder that has been unzipped
i detect devices with adb devices
i then adb push keystr /efs/imei
it says
C:\ADB>adb push keystr /efs/imei
0 KB/s (2 bytes in 0.002s)
I then reboot go into root explorer and nothings in efs/imei/ and theres nothing in there but the parent folder

alright, that's it. ur efs partition is corrupt, but I need a dump from a fresh stock untouched phone to make sure its fixed properly. In the mean time, I have made a zip of my efs. So change the instructions and do this.
Make a new folder I'm the same folder as adb.exe and name is efs. Extract the contents of attached zip inside efs folder. When u use adb inside cmd, type "adb push efs /". Then reboot. Report back on if that works or not
ok so i rebooted what should i be looking for? when i was in root explorer nothing changed. When i went back into cwm it's still saying "Can't mount efs!" But in the cmd prompt it showed the "adb push efs /" worked
do u have a keystr right in /efs? does ur lock screen work, or power button? If not ur gonna have to wait til I get an efs dump from someone

yea i got nothing....also when i did method one originally i would make the file
keystr
type in "ON"
Saved
and it would work until i rebooted...i just there was a way to save it after boot
The push worked, but there is nothing in the imei directory.
HOW TO FIX Chainfire3d SOFTBRICK AND KEEP EVERYTHING
(I know this isn't a question, but it's a popular issue and many people seem to have it)
If you're like me, you installed Chainfire 3d, You ran the thing inside the app, it restarted your phone,
and you are just stuck at the boot screen. Don't worry, you can fix this without having to lose any of your files.
I would have killed to have a guide like this when my phone bricked instead of having to search the internet for
hours and hours trying to find a solution which was really cryptic.
1.www(DOT)youtube(DOT)com/watch?v=MVXX-YdhRU0
Follow this tutorial to install and open a program which you will use to delete the driver Chainfire installed.
2. Start your phone into recovery mode (home+volup+press+power)
3. Plug in your phone via USB cord to your computer.
4. Once you have adb opened in command prompt, type "su" (without quotes) to gain superuser acess
5. After that, you type "cd /system/lib" (Without quotes)
6. Then you type "cf3d_uninstall.sh" (without quotes)
Your phone should reboot back to exactly like it was before. All your files, apps, etc. will all be there. Now it is
time for you to uninstall that dreaded chainfire 3d app so you never have to worry about it.

Hi, I, too, bricked my android phone. However, your solution did not work for me. Typing "su" in the adb folder in cmd did not give me super user access. It just told me that su is not an internal or external command. Is there another way to get super user access? Thanks in advance
Heeelp!

If You have CWM Recovery, then You need to go: "Mounts & storages" and mount /system
Then command: cd /system/lib will be working.
installed chainfire 3d/cant find the driver in lib
i installed chainfire 3d on my ceros motion (mtk6589,ct7008-w) it got stuck in a boot loop ,went through hell getting adb shell to come up but i got it ....my problem is that when i checked the "cd system /lib" directory there is no such file as "cfd3d_uninstall" no file name in that dir is even close so does chainfire 3d install the gpu driver under a different name?all /99% of all the file names start with "lib"
i have the same problem. when i type in "su" it says it is not recognized as an internal or external command. i'm using TWRP recovery, does that make any difference?
ok, i solved the problem. if you have TWRP, do the following (credit: pancit):
Under TWRP, click Mount, click System, then go back to Home page.
Click Advance, click File Manager, browse to /system/lib
Look for libGLESv1_CM.so and rename it to libGLESv1_CMcf.so
Then, look for libGLESv1_CM_ORG_CF3D.so and rename it to libGLESv1_CM.so
Then, click chmod and change it to 644.
Look for libGLESv2.so and rename it to libGLESv2cf.so
Then, look for libGLESv2_ORG_CF3D.so and rename it to libGLESv2.so
Then, click chmod and change it to 644.
Reboot and wait. Phone is fixed.

Thank you! This is the correct solution. :good:
adb shell
After you connect your phone, you have to run the "adb shell" command to get into the shell. someone neglected to mention that. hope this helps.

Under TWRP, click Mount, click System, then go back to Home page.
Click Advance, click File Manager, browse to /system/lib
Look for libGLESv1_CM.so and rename it to libGLESv1_CMcf.so
Then, look for libGLESv1_CM_ORG_CF3D.so and rename it to libGLESv1_CM.so
Then, click chmod and change it to 644.
Look for libGLESv2.so and rename it to libGLESv2cf.so
Then, look for libGLESv2_ORG_CF3D.so and rename it to libGLESv2.so
Then, click chmod and change it to 644.
Reboot and wait. Phone is fixed.

Hi,
My phone was bricked as I tried to replace framework-res.apk with some other file. It was struck in bootloop mode.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find stock ROM of that phone as it is new model. So, I cannot flash stock ROM.
The only way I can see is to replace corrupted framework-res.apk with stock framework-res.apk (I have taken back up).
So, can you tell me what is the best way to access system files of bricked phone on PC.
Your help is much appreciated.
Forgot to mention, my phone model is XOLO B700
Okay m not sure bt I guess u will need adb .. also u need to run adb in root mode so that u can replace the framework-file.. wid command
adb push ...

Specially practice the adb push command...
Its like adb push "file location on pc" "file location on phone" which in ur case would be system folder I guess
I will keep on looking for stock rom for xolo b700 .. if I found one I will let u know

Thanks boss! I could able to download adb files on my pc.
I've started my phone into recovery mode and connected PC via US cable.

When I tried below, I'm getting error
adb push <Location of framework-res.apk on my PC> /system/framework/
Pls help. I think I'm close to solution.

It's best to just "cd(change directory)" your way into the adb folder with the file right beside adb.exe,
that should fix the problem, I think.
Oh, can you post the error here. Just what it says, I mean.
It should help.

Judging from this error(and I ain't so sure):
1. Your output folder path(the path leading to the system folder) is wrong.(Correct your path)
2. Remove sh from the path. ADB detected sh as not a folder but another type of file(archive, apk etc...)
You can try to use cd to figure out the path, provided your phone's being detected by your computer now(which I doubt).
Code:
1. cd (E:/ or whatever your cellphone's drive)
2. dir
3. Then cd your way into another folder(choose from those that appear)
Repeat steps 2 and 3

Has anyone tried this?
Unfortunately flashify still needs a custom recovery to flash zips.
Good thinking though, I really want xposed on my flex 2 too but it looks like we'll just have to wait for a recovery.
you can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250555
If someone else is willing to try this it would be great to know if it works.
I've already taken back 1 flex 2 because I bricked it, I don't want to risk doing it again with an app that hasn't been updated since 2013.
Yeah, I'll try it once TOTs are available in case I do brick it.
Edit: Anyone know how we can speed up the process to create return to stock files?
Seems flashing with flash gordon app is not possible... Phone reboots like normal and no framework got installed
If you softbrick your device follow the LG Flash Tool Guide... Takes about 10 - 15 mins till you are back on your homescreen with no data lost

Yeah, I found that thread. But there's no firmware for G Flex 2 anywhere. What tot/kdz file do I use?

Does anyone know the commands of flashing xposed via fastboot or ADB?
Ah. I'm from the US, so I have the H950.
Is there a guide somewhere that shows how to dump the system to make a kdz file?

Open up the zip and see the directory the files are stored in. Then in adb you would use command abd push (drag file here without the parenthesis) /system and hit enter. That would be the command if you were pushing a file to system. If you were pushing to a system app it would be adb push (drag app here) /system/app hit enter. If it was a framework file it would be adb push (drag file here) /system/framework hit enter. Get the drift? For a lib file it would be adb push (drag lib file here) /system/lib hit enter
