[Q] Need tester for one click root for galaxys no computer needed
Hey,
I just wrote this up.
Thanks to jcase for the information and his root for eris: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228
This will root your phone with no button pressing. No need for a PC.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ptkbiyt99bws3ft/Galaxysrooter_Final.apk
NOTE: The auto-reboot will not work. it seems only system apps can reboot the phone. So for now.
Here is the work around
Code:
Just power off... Reboot into recovery...
Hold vol + and vol -
Hold power
Wait for vibrant
Release power
Reinstall packages
Mirror thanks to jphilpot
Confirmed working! Thanks to themykel.
Thanks to all for bug testing. This should be the final version. No need to use astro or anything to move files.
Thanks!
If you like this app and it helped you. Please donate. http://bit.ly/crSq3B THANKS!

No. It's just the basic root + unroot. Made it simple for my first root app
easy to pop the new busyboxy via market. More will follow for other phones.

Confirmed working on my vibrant. I odin'ed back to stock and re-rooted with this (figrued why not, I still have 4 days left on my free return! )

I just didnt want to test the unroot process. Because i have too much stuff on my phone and only one unit
Very very Much appreciated.
I will update the alert for unroot.

your link is bad

Its down for me as well
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

It's not down, it's a copy paste error.

Tested and does work (first time rooting my phone)... however for some reason my phone some times does not wake up from sleep (had to do a battery pull), the screen wont light up/wake up. I didnt have such a problem before using your root app, weird!!!

Tried it 3 times before giving up and rooting the old fashioned way..with the update.zip
For some reason it kept putting the files on the sd card instead of internal.

did not work for me could not open zip files on sd card

I had that issue, simply move the update zip to where it needs to be, I used Astro

Koush is going to add the root method to clockwork in the extras folder. It would be awesome if koush added a root option for as many phones as possible. That would make clockwork the ultimate android app.

Wugfresh Rooting Toolkit

Ok, so figured i need a quick reply
I used this toolkit, unlocked bootloader fine, but when i go to root, it gets stuck on 'Waiting for your device to finish booting back up...' on the PC and 'Booting Downloaded image' on my nexus
Do i have to manually reboot?
Is it safe to stop the process now?
Thanks
:crying:
EDIT: Pressing the POWER button does not reboot the device

Don't use toolkits and you won't have this problem.

Almost all computers (including the n7) will turn off if you hold the power button long enough. With the n7 it will immediately reboot.

I'm rather aware what these forums are for. I was helping by telling them not to use a toolkit.

Wugfresh's toolkit works fine, and is a perfectly good choice for those new to Android who don't want to take the chance they'll mistype something in the command line.
This happened to me using the toolkit as well, I think the problem lies with the USB drivers, which can get confused or lose sync. Just power off your Nexus and try the procedure again from the start. Make sure you plug it into one of the USB ports on the back of your motherboard rather than going through a hub.

Mine hung at the reboot, i just rebooted while holding the volume down button.
The tool kit it's great and even had an advanced for manual commands. Which was nice since i just reinstalled windows to a ssd, which was nice instead of setting up and downloading the sdk

Now that Asus has posted official USB drivers you may want to uninstall the ones provided by the toolkit and use those instead.

I found this toolkit great, try using a manual root. Theres a guide in dev section

Try this first
Try downloading supersu or superuser from the market, along with an app whih requires root permissions, such as titanium backup. After installing supersu, try running titanium backup, hopefully it will give you the prompt to grant permissions, and then you wont have to reroot.

[Q] nexus one does not boot, reset without power button

My nexus one cannot go through the splash screen during the boot process and keeps restarting over and over. The power button is not working on the device, so I can't use the recovery or any option in the bootloader that requires me to push the power button.
I cannot enable the debugging option, since I can't start the phone.
I was trying to use fastboot thingy, but it keeps coming with "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" or" FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
Any idea how to bring this phone back to life?

I'm experiencing the same thing, broken power button and endless bootloops. I'm rooted, but only on the most basic ROMs without any sort of way reboot into recovery. Any help would be great...

I would get power button fixed firstly, if I were you. Good luck anyway!

Connect your nexus to a charger, when led turns on pull the battery out, when led turns off put the battery in before led shows up again.
After you put the battery in correctly, just long press the trackball to get into hboot
After that just use the recovery to wipe and flash a new rom

Okay, so I made it into hboot, but please explain how I can get into recovery without a power button to select recovery.

use trackball and volup/down
trackball to choose, volup/down for marking/selecting
Do you use blackrose?
If so, trackball works 100%

I don't use Blackrose, my ROM is a very basic form of MIUI from earlier this year and I haven't updated it since. I thought I would be able to use the trackball in place of the power button as well, but so far it's not working. Is there any other way to boot into recovery or another way to use the trackball instead of the power button?

Once u get hboot, connect N1 to PC and try 'fastboot reboot-recovery' in CMD

I'm trying that now and getting the message that the command isn't recognized...

Sorry I was wrong about it. The option is reboot-bootloader so there seems to be no way to boot to recovery directly in your case.
As to the message u got, you need to install android boodloader driver so that fastboot may work. But it can only lead u to hboot, not further.

Don't worry about it, It's cool... I loved this phone, had it since it came out back in January 2010, now I have to find a new one. I was checking out the HTC One S and X, and maybe the X+ if they ever release it, are those good upgrades to the Nexus One?

I'm not expert of hardware, but believe theses are way much better than N1 as you will have bigger screen, more cpu cores, larger RAM and internal storage size, and most impotant - ICS or jelly beans ROMs.

I tried one out today at a local T-Mobile store, it's a very nice phone but sorta disappointed me with the lack of transferable SIM and Micro SD cards. I'm gonna do more research on it but it's shaping up to look like my N1's replacement... :crying:
Oh well, it's been really good. The Nexus One has been easily the best phone I've had thus far and for the longest (2 years and almost 10 months).
Thank you all for the help in trying to recover it.

Finally, I was able to reset the phone by using the SD card. The steps are outlined here:

Hi there, I'm having the exact same problem as you.. I tried to follow the instructions on the link you gave but I'm stuck on the 3rd step: how can I transfer a file to my sd card? when I enter the fastboot and the computer is connected I can see on my n1 that it is written "fastboot usb" but the computer doesn't show me that it's recognizing it...
Help would be very much appreciated!

i tried all the tricks and methods but my mobile just doesnt power ON

Android 4.2 for Nexus 7 is here!!

Hey guys, not sure if already posted..
But looks like the official android 4.2 is out now for Nexus 7
From Android Headlines:
That’s right, today is becoming a very busy day indeed for those that are Nexus fans and owners. With the news that the Galaxy Nexus is getting its fresh helping of Android 4.2 we were all wondering when the Nexus 7 would be allowed to join the party after all, the N7 did get to the Jelly Bean party first now, didn’t they? There’s no telling just how long you’ll be waiting for the update but the word is that the JOP40C, the same build for the Galaxy Nexus, is now making its way to Nexus 7s all over the place.
As always, there is an alternative to updating your device if you have absolutely no patience and quite frankly, we don’t blame you one bit. If you want to know how to get 4.2 on your Nexus 7 then read on and download this zip file before you get started!
First of all download the zip file above, do NOT rename this file.
Reboot your Galaxy Nexus while holding the Volume Down button – this will take you to the fastboot menu
From there, hit start and then hit the Volume Up key to get to Recovery and hit the Power Button
If you’re stock – with no CWM – then you should see a red exclamation point, after this hit the Power Button and the Volume Up button
From here, select “apply update from adb”
Then go ahead and open up a command prompt – terminal in Linux and Mac OS X – navigate to the same directory as the downloaded zip and input this command: adb sideload 094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip
Reboot and then you should be in Jelly Bean 4.2!
Of course, if you’re like a whole lot of other Nexus 7 owners out there and have gone a little rogue and installed a custom recovery and so on you can just simply copy it to your device and install it like you would any other zip!
Have fun and let us know how it goes in the comments!

Seriously? did you happen to check the thread below yours?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1967795
Also I see some copy & paste work in OP lol

Thank!

Worked for me, OTA Rootkeeper, flashed in CWM, adb in and removed recover-from-boot.p, OTA Rootkeeper restore.
It seems to be moving a little slow, I think it's updating media stuff or such, so if it takes a few minutes to settle in don't freak out. It took about 5 minutes for me and it's been fine since.
Probably have to reflash recovery, not sure. Either way, easy.
Few more notes.. Apps which had FORCED themselves "to sd" are probably uninstalled now, you'll need to reinstall 'em with TiBu or Market. I had 3 like this, all three were "gone". Just the app, the data is fine if you use TiBu.
Nova's dock isnt' working for me, it's a dead zone. Not sure what's going on there. Might be a bug in Nova now, never seen this before. EDIT: Check for a Beta update; fixed already
Someone on IRC said they saw files move around on their storage, but so far I haven't see any app issues, but any SD backups might back up everything again if it's moved. TiBu, etc, are all happy, so..
DO NOT ADD A USER. It has made my Nexus 7 slow as hell. If I find a way to fix it I'll post.

When can someone post a video of 4.2 on the N7

Hey guys my N7 is completely stock is there anyway I can put 4.2 on my N7 or do I have to wait until it is pushed out ota and if I have to wait does anyone know how long it might be THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU

I installed the leaked copy of the 4.2 keyboard a while back. Today, the 4.2 update I'm trying to manually install in recovery is failing. I assume the two are linked. Is there a way to nuke the 4.2 keyboard instance off the tablet so I can properly install the 4.2 update? Or is this grounds for backing up my data and flashing a full 4.1.2 and then upgrading to 4.2?

You can install the old 4.1.2 keyboard and reupdate again. OR you can reinstall the entire OS to 4.1.2, then upgrade to 4.2 again

CWM zip install keeps failing for me, just saying aborted. I've removed some of the system apps I didn't need, but edited the updater.sh script to also remove checking for system apps. Any way I can find where the failure is?

I was on stock 4.1.2 and just flashed via CWM and it worked flawlessly.
Also, I don't seem to have any speed issues with 2 users. The switch screen takes a few seconds but it works like a charm, now my wife can have her area and i can have mine (yay)

[Q] Anyone succesfully reverted back to 4.2.2?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
according to that, you can revert to stock. im assuming 4.2.2? i want to go back to use the app that gives you recovery. (which is not yet available for kitkat) to use cm11
so question is, can i use that method to go back to 4.2.2? or would it take me to 4.4.4? my phone is not bricked. just stock 4.4.2
helppp. thankssss.

As long as you download the correct TOT file, that is the correct procedure that I have used on my at&t d950.

Remember to do a full wipe, because the applications from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 they will not be worked and the phone will have a bootloop

Will this work if I'm on stock 4.4.2 and want to downgrade to 4.2.2?
Forgot to add I'm not rooted sorry

Cant get into Download Mode
I rooted my G-Flex and then took the update by unintentionally, the phone started freezing so i did a factory reset. Now i have no mobile data. So im trying to downgrade but i cant get into Download mode using the Volume up plug in method, any help?

Damn I wanted to try the MIUI Rom but don't want the hassle. I'm guess this is the only way?

I don't think he has a d959 version of the miui yet. They are so close to getting cm11 ready for a beta. Radio is now working just gotta get the kernel to run stable. But as fast as they are coming along I wouldn't be surprised if its ready by the weekend.

That's my fault. He asked for them a couple weeks ago and I got sidetracked with my son and work has been hell. But thanks for reminding me. I just sent him what he needed.

Tested the first d959 miui. No go as of right now. Boots but no screen. Just black screen. Still a little more work but I'm sure soon.

haven't had MIUI on any phone since I had my Note 2, and kinda miss it!
Gerret had a sweet miui rom on that phone, so I know how great it would be if it works out the Flex..

I was having the same issue and i read a post in another forum here on xda (can't remember which one or i would link you to it) that used QPST force the phone into download mode. I also was unable to get it into download mode using adb. At any rate, it was fairly simple to do and i have done it multiple times since then. Just Google a working download of QPST, install it, and then follow the instructions below.
1) make sure that you're port settings I the hidden menu on your phone are set too diag mode. Data can be enabled for them as well, but diag is a must.
2) set the dmapp usage setting to ON in the hidden menu as well. The hidden menu is accessed by dialing 3845#*XXX# in the dialer where XXX is replaced by the three digits of your model number e.g. for a T-Mobile G Flex (D959) it would be 3845#*959#.
3) connect the phone to the computer you installed QPST on and wait for the proper drives to install.
4) open QPST configuration and click "add new port". Select the lg diagnostics port and then click the start services menu tab.
5) start the Software Download service and then make sure that you're phone was properly recognized by the service.
6) click the multi-image tab and set your window to look as the photo below.
7) once the window looks like the photo, click the start button and then hit the abort button as soon as possible so as to not actually do anything other than just reset the phone.
8) if all goes as it's supposed to, your phone should have been reset into download mode. I hope this helped.
