Database Develop

Incredible Rooter Windows App

I wrote this basic little application to help out those who are either afraid of the command prompt or simply just don't want to deal with it. Drop it in the same folder as adb and run it.
Feel free to leave feedback or contact me with any questions/comments.
http://incredible.groove2.net/IncredibleRooter.zip
If people decide they like this, I will continue development and add some new features to it.
Check out the Readme.txt for more information and detailed explanations.

Thank you, I had rooted mine before using the command prompt, your application save me time on taking off the battery and waiting for reboot. Thanks again.

Thanks for your work, it doesn't go unappreciated =).

Glad to see people are finding it useful. Expect a CityID removal button in the near future.

where exactly do we drop this? what's the path?

As the OP stated, place this program in the same folder as adb, so depending on where your sdk is located it might go in C:\sdk\tools\

what's the adb?
Please bare with me...

lol.. you know whats sad... is i almost guarantee besides trying 2.2 on this beast.. CityID is #1 on peoples list of crap to remove that is absolutely useless

Nice App.
Thanks!

What does the app do? Will it help get people into the adb shell? That seems to be the real problem.

When will option be avail to remove cityid? that is big reason for me to root.

hmmmm
well I'm stuck. tried several cards tried all the methods and still no go. It goes to the screen with the red triangle and dead ends. and after that it just says cant open cache recovery command guess im screwed oh well thanx for posting all the steps you guys went through effen pisses me off though

Has anyone used this and has it worked. I've tried every method on every site and nothing, I'm going to try this when I get home from work.

Hey guys, sorry if there's been any confusion.
This app will not make ADB start up in recovery. That's still something that we still have to achieve to get any of this to work.
Peronally I used the Kingston 4GB Class 4 card and it works pretty much almost every single time I just do a simple adb reboot.
This application was designed to make the rooting process a quick and painless command prompt-less process after you achieve adb running in recovery mode. I used this on my friend's Incredible and the rooting process took me literally 30 seconds to complete.

Does the red triangle with the exclaimation point mean it has failed, or do you wait further?
Thanks,

I used a SanDisk 2GB works everytime.
After your in recovery mode and have clicked the Step 3: button "Check for ADB In Recovery".
If you get the "sorry adb not running" message try this:
Unplug your usb cord from the device and remove your battery.
Replace your battery and hold down the volume- key and press the power button.
Highlight Recovery as soon as possible.
Plug the usb cord back in and press the power button at the same time.
Note: If you hear a noise when you plugged in the usb cord before you see the black Recovery screen you did it wrong.
Click the Step 3: button one to five times.
If it doesn't work try it again or try a different SD card.

Touch thanks for all the help Bro. My incredible is just a stubborn ***** LOL Great job on the windows app

Thanks Man for putting this together great job !!

I keep getting "Installation Aborted" when trying to flash the Samung S boot/shutdown. I hate the Tmobile one. I do see the udpate.zip on the internal card. If it matters, I did flash clockwork recovery before this.
I did the remove sounds, then tried the flash with no luck.

testing it now. confirmed it doesn't work, i had assumed it was properly signed based on my memory of it, but it turns out i was mistaken.
What you can do in the mean time because it might be a while until I get it fixed, is push the boot/shutdown file to your phone and change the update.zip files name, restore clockwork and flash through clockwork.... I am updating the files to reflect this.
It will be working in v0.9 so go ahead and redownload if you see that. Also coming in v0.9 option to install drivers for phone. And maybe more, who knows.

I'm still not understanding where to put the "Vibrant MultiTool" folder to get it to work. Do I put it on the SD card, or on the phone? Do I copy over everything in that folder which contains a "utils" folder along with the MultiTool app?

Easy-Mount Script for Mounting MTP in Ubuntu

The following script will install necessary files for mtp and copy a Unity launcher that runs either a mount or unmount script so you can access the filesystem on your nexus 7 without having to resort to wifi.
This is not original work, the code was adapted from here
Background...why move away from UMS to MTP?
“MTP is a big improvement over USB mass storage — for devices with lots of internal memory, a manufacturer no longer needs to come up with some hard partition between the USB mass storage and internal storage. Instead, they are all in one partition, with MTP providing access to the directory of media files that would normally be available through USB mass storage. This means there is no longer a need for apps on SD card for such devices, because what used to be the ‘internal SD card’ is in the same partition as where applications are stored. The storage on your device can be used for either applications or media, depending on what you want to put on it. You aren’t stuck with how much space the manufacturer decided to leave for the two areas.
Oh also this means that the media storage doesn’t need to be unmounted from Android when it is being access through the PC.“
Using the Script:
1. Run install_me.sh by double-clicking and running in terminal, or launch sh from terminal
2. After install script completes, it will drop you to $HOME/.local/share/applications, copy over the file called Mount Nexus 7 Filesystem to your Unity Launcher
3. Right click on the Nexus 7 icon and chose mount or unmount. Mounting takes about 5-10 seconds, so be a little patient.
Note: Although Nautilus has an eject next to the folder, it will not do anything. You need to unmount from the launcher.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?fbib01go50iij7g
Script Details:
Install mtpfs package
Copy over a Nexus 7 icon for the launcher
Copy a mount and unmount script to your $HOME/.scripts folder
Copy a desktop file (unity launcher icon) to your $HOME/.local/share/applications folder
The desktop file calls either the mount or unmount script from the .scripts folder to mount as mtp filesystem

Thanks a lot. The script also works for my Samsung Galaxy Note II

I'm gonna give that script a try once I get the runt off the school bus.

I had it work once or twice, but now I'm not having much luck. Nautilus seems to be force closing a lot. I even rebooted, no difference. In fact even if I force close Nautilus and bring it back, it'll continually spin until I unplug my Nexus 7. The second I unplug it, my home dir files show up perfectly.

How do you do i Gnome 3?

I've got the same problem. I'm fairly familiar with mounting and unmounting in linux so I don't think it was anything I did.

How do I assign the icon to the file? I have a "?" icon where the Nexus 7 pic should be.

Try this blog . See if that helps.

I fixed it!
All you have to do is change nautilus ~/Nexus7 in the mount_nexus7.sh in the install folder to nautilus ~/Nexus7/*
Save
Uninstall the script and the install again.
This is SO much easier than using gMTP.

it work for me ,but can we do something so that it automount when we plug in the usb?

How do I remove Nexus 7 folder?
Hello, my name is Chisa and I'm a noobette
I followed your directions on "Easy-Mount Script for Mounting MTP in Ubuntu" to view my Nexus 7 tablet folder from my Linux desktop file explorer. Everything went according to instructions - I copied and pasted the command lines into the terminal and watched as the mysterious machine gibberish scrolled like it was doing something important... and then, finally, I saw the Nexus folders in my Linux Mint file explorer, although, it shows empty
Being the ADD noobette that I am, I moved on to another app promising the same thing - the gMTP - and lucky me, this one worked and can be installed directly from the software manager in Linux Mint. It's still not the ideal fast and simple file transfer like it is with my Nokia phone usb connection - why can't things be kept that simple?
So now I'm in a pickle: cannot delete the Nexus 7 folder created by your script. How do I make it go away? Is there something to uninstall?
I didn't try any other script besides this one. I promise :angel:

Reboot worked

AW: Easy-Mount Script for Mounting MTP in Ubuntu
I'm using Kubuntu and kio-mtp, that combination works very well for me. It integrates the mtp protocol into dolphin so i just have to plug in the N7 and it shows up in the "removable media"-popup. Just google it, the post on the German Ubuntu forum is pretty self-explanatory. There's also a ppa.
I don't think it's gonna work with Gnome3 or Unity though, as far as i know it's only for KDE.

ROOT for Razr HD

Root is already available for the Motorola Razr HD & Maxx!
I grabbed this from the Razr M forums, it will work for a variety of new Motorola Devices.
Instructions:
Download
Unzip
Install Motorola Drivers
Enable USB Debugging on Phone
Plug Into PC
Run The Batch File "Run"
Follow Along the CMD Prompt for Progress & Let it Finish
Enjoy and Hope for some Developers to Pick Up This Phone to Rom
**UPDATE**JellyBean OTA In order to update to the latest OTA without losing root you need to:
Be Rooted on ICS
Use VooDoo Rootkeeper to do the following
Protect Root
Temp Unroot
Take the JB OTA
Restore Root
Enjoy being both on the latest and rooted. Remember, do not just take the update without doing both those two things as there is no root exploit currently available for JB.
This is a one-click-method so all you have to do is the prerequisites and it will do the rest for you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How to Unroot:
Thanks shabbypenguin for posting this.
You can manually unroot your Droid by using a root file manager program (such as root explorer) and mountsystem as R/W. Then delete the following:
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/bin/su
and if it has it
/system/xbin/su
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Downloads:
Here's the link to the drivers: Motorola Drivers
Root File is attached to the Post, but here are some Mirrors:
Mirror 1
Mirror 2
Rooting your phone works whether you have the Developer version or not.
Hit thanks if this made you happy!

Did you have USB debugging enabled in the phone Development settings? Also when you plug it in and get that connection notification on your phone, select USB Charge mode. It's best if you open the file after you do all that so it doesn't try to start in Mass Storage mode, before you switch to usb charge.

Glad to hear! and you're welcome. Yes, it was very convenient to have this as soon as the phone was released.

Word of advice to all is that you need to follow the instructions closely and run the batch file AFTER you plug in your phone and switch it charge mode and verify that the USB Debugging icon shows up. This way the program does not start running if your phone automatically goes to Mass Storage mode.

This didnt work for me either. I have a Maxx and understand they are the same internally, correct? Is there a way for me to convert this and use it on a Mac (last resort)? I have an old Dell my wife had in college that I use to root when there is no root for a Mac and I never know if its outdated software causes issues. This however is very simple so I have no clue why it didnt work. Downloaded drivers and they installed correctly and ran the bat file. When I plug my Mac into the pc it I have a choice of mass storage, mtp or ptp. I've tried mtp and ptp. The error I get adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. This mean it cant find adb?

Worked on my Maxx, thanks! Here's what I did. I couldn't find a charge only mode so I plugged it on usb mass storage. Had to run it about 5 times. What was happening on my phone was I'd minimize the window and assume that when I came back to it I could hit a key and reboot. Well my Maxx would reboot after 5 seconds of that message displaying by itself, somehow destroying the root process. Had to sit there and press the key almost immediately when the message came up. Hope that helps!

I left my razr hd maxx in MTP mode and only had to enable dubbing mode. it worked on the first try.

Yes you don't have to put it in charge mode, that's just how its always been for Motorola's and my Rezound. The Raz HD doesn't require that just plug it in. that was only to be safe if there was the option for just to charge it for computer.

I got it working. Thanks

I think I seriously messed up my phone, can't copy stuff over while TWRP :(

Guys I have TWRP V2.8.10...I was trying to install ViperOne Rom. I had in installed but I foolishly did a FULL ADVANCED Whipe...Idk why I did that I wasn't thinking about it...well naturally it wiped the ROM clean off the device as well as EVERYTHING else. I don't even have my backup to restore to. UGH I'm so frustrated with myself. Well anyways I try to enable MTP while in TWRP and its shows the HTC One as a portable device as well as havin 24.9 of 25.0 GB of FREE Space however it will NOT let me copy the ViperOne ROM over....it keeps saying the file size is too large. IT most certainly is NOT too large. There has to be someway around this to FORCE this file onto to the device for a reflash. Any help would be appreciated here. Idk if this is a windows thing but I was thinking I could maybe even attach a micro to full size usb plug to the htc and put the rom on a flash drive and flash it onto the device but idk if this would work. I should also note that when I open internal storage on the device it only shows the TWRP folder. I'm half wondering if the device has lost its root as well...will a reflash over the terminal maybe help?

If you have a USB-OTG adapter it will certainly work.
your other options are adb push rom.zip /sdcard
and adb sideload rom.zip
just be sure the rom.zip is in the same folder as adb

I have a fastboot folder on my desktop the directory is
C:\Users\GRAVATRAX\Desktop\fastboot

What does your storage show as in recovery? 0mb?
Since you wiped it all anyway you may as well try Wipe>Format Data, from within twrp. You will be prompted to type yes to confirm. When its done reboot recovery and try MTP again.
As for using adb and fastboot. Do this, Hold Shift and Right Click on your fastboot folder. From the drop down menu that appears select "Open a command window here" this should open a cmd prompt with your fastboot folder as it's working directory.
Now use the push command
Code:
adb push viper.zip /sdcard
The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes. When it's done install the Rom with your recovery.

The command window will appear unresponsive until the push completes. When it's done install the Rom with your recovery.

How long does it usually take to transfer files via this method? It shows the file onthe device but in the amount of like 128kb, will it give some sort of confirmation when its done?
Also in recovery it would show the device as having an internal storage os 26034.
If this doesn't work where I can find an otg cable? Would it be possible to use lets say a male to female usb adapter with a standard micro usb cable to achieve this effect

While the Rom is being pushed you will see only a blinking cursor in the command window. When it's complete you should get a confirmation and the prompt will return to normal
It can take several minutes.
A basic OTG cable looks like this
{
"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"
}
But they com in all sorts of shapes and sizes I use one like this
Picked up in my local tesco for a few quid

Alright Ill just be patient and let it do its thing....I tried to push the file via adb sideload however it kept saying device not found And yes i would enable ADB sideload via TWR
I might have to take a trip down to best buy and staples nad see if I can find one...I would call and see if they have what Im looking for...but LOL.
SO while we are waiting for this file to be pushed I am curious as to why this is happening. what exactly did I do for it cause to bring me this issue in Windows?

you need to fix your pc drivers while the phone is in recovery
look for the one in device manager with an exclamation mark and update the driver manually

Check your SDK is upto date by typing this into the fastboot command window
Code:
adb version
The latest is 1.0.32.
Also you may try TWRP 2.6.3.3 some other versions of TWRP have issues with adb. :good:
EDIT:- Infact reading back to your first post i see your using TWRP 2.8.1.0. It's been a while since i first tested that version but i'm sure I ditched it because of problems with adb
