I rooted my phone and unlocked bootloader. su binaries are out of date and i can't find a way to fix that because i used:
SU update fixer : it said - fix failed. Try downloading and flashing an update.zip from androidsu.com
busybox free : it said - There was a problem opening a shell with root access
busybox installer : any update that i chose it said - Installing BusyBox failed. Please try installinga different version but every version thatt i choose it says the same.
Please help me because this is my first time and i don't know what to do!!!!
What ROM are you using? Also try download root checker and see what it says, something looks like your phone is not rooted

I can't really understand what to do here with all of this. Can you show me this step by step?
okay, here we go :
if you have flashed a recovery and your bootloader is unlocked then you.
To check if it is correct :
1. shut down phone,
2. unplug battery and insert again
3. press volume down and power button until u will se a white screen.
4. in top of it you shoud see unlocked and hboot version and so on.
5. you can also use volume buttons to go down to recovery and press power button, then it should start a recovery.
6. if that is all okay, flash this : View attachment CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip
7. then wipe cache and dalvik cache in recovery and reboot.
8. Job done, you should be running okay now.
if you not have a custom recovery, i will recommend that you download xl multi tool from dev section and flash twrp recovery.
Try and let me know the result or come over to the irc chat found in my signature and we can write

I have HTC INCRDIBLE S with original rom 2.3 i now to use other rom can any1 please guide me how to get into recovery mode? I did try vol down + power but it is not working my phone turns on normally even after doing this. can any1 plz guide me on this??
Go into settings and turn off 'fastboot mode'. I think its in power settings ? Been a long time since I looked for it.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
You want to go into recovery mode?
make sure fast boot is unchecked in power settings
turn your phone off
take the battery out to make sure its off
put it back in and hold volume down + power for about 4 seconds until you come to a white screen
And provided you have a custom recovery installed, use volume and power buttons to go to recovery
hope that answered your question

A simply Google search would provide you with the answer. ClockworkMod and 4Ext are 2 of the options you have.
You also could have found the information by simply reading the sticky posts in the section and the Development section.
You can use this method without disabling fastboot option in settings. Just click "reboot" and wait all lights are turned off. On the time, press and hold "volume down" immediately and wait for three android at the bottom on the screen. If you saw them, you suceed. Reboot option is fully turn off the phone and turn on with a fresh workspace for the booting. Just like a computer.

Easiest way to get a recovery is to download rom manager from the market/play store and flash recovery from within the app
you need to be rooted though

How did you find out that your phone is rooted?
Moreover, write following information here:
Bootloader: locked or unlocked?
HBoot:????
S-Off or S-ON???
You can this information by doing following.
Switch your phone Off. Press Volume down button and power button. This will take you to a screen where you can find this information. Put your information here and wr'll take it from there onwards
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429241&highlight=and - This is what is installed on you phone. So you know. Not that this helps anything but just so you know it isn't some random thing no one has heard of
Now the recovery these guys are on about is something that has to be installed on the phone for someone to have installed this 'OS' (ROM). If you do as many have said and power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery. Chances are this is a customer recovery which allows you to install new 'OS' (ROM).
If you have this it would be easier for you and everyone if you download the stock rooted OS. Now you don't really need to understand what root is etc. I am sure you could Google all of that. But what you have to do is download it from here. Once it has downloaded you need to move the .zip file to you SD card on your phone. Just plug your phone into your PC and drag and drop it to your phone's sd. The SD card in your phone is virtualised so although you may not physically have one the PC recognises it as an SD card.
Once you have moved it to your phone. You need to unplug your phone from the PC. Get your phone back to the recovery, using these instructions again:Power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery.
Once you are there continue to use the volume up and down to navigate and power to select. You need to select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' option. Then select 'yes' Once that is done, you need to select the 'Wipe Cache' option. Again, select 'Yes'. Once that is done you can install the 'OS'(ROM). Now you select 'Install zip from SD card' then the option 'Select zip from SD card' Navigate and find the .zip file you moved to your SD. Select it, then select 'yes' After that it will do some stuff. Once it's finished, select 'Go Back' and then 'Reboot System' that should work.
If you don't want to do that then you can download the RUU file that fshami already linked. http://www.filefactory.com/f/2c6cbf04d4909b70/ - Select the one named 2.31.401.2_Europe. Once it has downloaded you need to ensure you have HTC drivers installed. Best way to do that is download HTC sync and plug your phone in. After it has installed the drivers and verified your phone you're good to go. Plug your phone in, find the RUU file you downloaded. It will be an .exe file. Right click on it and click 'Run as Administrator' Follow the steps on screen.
I just fixed the CWM 6.0.2.8 startup issue. It's just a minor change to the chargemon.sh script. I've repacked the original zip file. Just unzip it and run the install.bat again.
Requirements:
1. Your phone must be rooted
2. It works on 244 firmware. I'm not sure if this modded script works also in old 310 firmware.
Proper procedures to activate CWM recovery on boot:
1. Power on the phone
2. Wait until you see the Sony logo
3. Wait until you see the bottom LED turns green
4. Press either volume up or down once
5. If successful, the bottom LED should turn purple
6. CWM recovery should run in a matter of seconds
** If you're unable to enter recovery and the phone just reboot after pressing the volume button, then you probably need to apply the remount-reboot fix. After this fix is applied, then run the recovery install script again **
Thanks. Working fine.

Installing OTA updates while having Custom Recovery (ex. ClockWork mod) is not possible. You need Stock Recovery to install the OTA update. I'll be showing you how to install Stock Recovery, and how to get back to ClockWork mod, without the need of flashing a total new stock ROM (RUU).
Please read this very well before starting:
* I'm not responsible about anything that may happen to your device, please don't follow this guide if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
* This guide is for Windows users only. If you can get the official "recovery.img" or "recovery_signed.img" from somewhere else, then you can follow the guide (b) and start from step 5.
* If you're on Custom ROM, this will not work for you. Go flash an RUU instead.
* Please download the OTA update zip file before starting.
* If you deleted any system apps before, doing an OTA update will probably fail with Status 7. In this case, you'll have to restore the deleted apps as they were. If it still doesn't help, you'll have to flash an RUU and then do the OTA update.
* After flashing the OTA, you'll need to run Revolutionary to install custom hboot giving you permissions to flash recoveries and other things through fastboot. (IT IS A MUST IF YOU WANT TO USE "Android Recovery Manager" to flash ClockWorkMod after updating)

Good guide BTW. I do have a question though, have you had success in getting an update through this method? The last time I tried to do it, it didn't work

First, i'm not very good at naming, so i wait for an moderator to change the title.
Second, I'm happy 'coz you think it's a good guide.
Third, yes it worked for me today. I also written in other topic that i updated today.

It could be because you have an S-OFF'd device. Devices with Unlocked bootloader and S-ON will not be able to apply an update like this. It would be great if you'd add this info as well
I already sayd that.
Method tested on HTC One Mini 2 (Vodafone Romania edition) w/ S-off, unlock bootloader, root, simunlock and twrp installed.

Everyone is free to try. And I think will work on S-on device.
How did you get S-off?
As far as I know you can't or so other forum users say.

Google Sunshine, it allows S-OFF for a plethora of HTC devices, albeit with a cost of $25

Yes, this thread is very misleading.
It's not installing OTA with a custom recovery or manually flashing an OTA. It's simply how to put the stock recovery back and how to go back to custom recovery after.
Sunshine
I tried sunshine but it didn't work and required my boot loader to be relocked which caused me to have to unlock again to boot android, wiping all my data. I'm not trying sunshine again!

It was confirmed that Update works with S-ON with this guide.
Does this work on the remix as well or is that unknown

How would a noob with an S-OFF, rooted, One Remix identify the correct recovery version to flash without bricking said Remix?

For a custom recovery, check here
For a stock recovery, you would probably need to find the recovery image, if you have any OTAs lying around then you can open them up to find the recovery image.

Wow, didn't occur to me that the OTA would include the recovery.img! Okay, I'll dig around my phone's storage for where the OTA got put, and see if I can copy out the recovery.img. I'll report back if it works, for the benefit of anyone else who owns a Remix who might be monitoring this thread.
Thanks!

It will be in the "firmware.zip" inside the OTA zip. You will probably have the OTA file if you haven't updated in the downloads folder. It gets deleted once you update

For any other One Remix users following this thread, I actually found it in /cache/fumo, under the name "OTAPkg.zip." Since this partition won't mount when you try to mount your phone on a PC, you will need to copy this to a different location, like your SD card, using the "cp" command. I moved it to my downloads folder with
Code:
cp /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip /storage/emulated/0/Download

If you need the stock rom, download it from this site: https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-J120H/
Thanks!
I tried this on a SM-J120M from Colombia.
Recocvery flashed OK, phone rebooted.
Turned it off, tried to enter recovery, android robot appears "installing system update" or something like that.
After a few seconds, standard recovery appears and not TWRP.
So I figured that the stock rom somehow replaces the custom recovery at first boot.
Flashed again but after Odin finished, I pulled the battery at once.
Tried again to enter recovery, this time a red text above the J1 logo shows "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
Pulled the battery again and turned on, phone booted normally, but twrp recovery was again replaced with standard recovery.
I'm on the latest firmware and this phone until now can not be rooted and no custom recovery seems to be available.
Somehow "knox" was set to 1 in the process, meaning warranty void.
Cheers.
Well, this has been tackled finally
Key issue was the right TWRP recovery.
Someone on Youtube posted the instructions and files titled: RECOVERY TWRP PARA SAMSUNG J1 2016 (TODAS LAS VERSIONES)
This time the TWRP recovery did work, after that I flashed the SuperSu from TWRP and all was finished.
Next I'll be looking for a custom rom, but so far very happy with the results.
Cheers.

Hello,
Could I have a link to the files that work for the J120M? I have the same phone and I think I found what you're talking about but I have the same issue with the stock recovery showing up instead.
Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, do I need to use TWRP? Can't I just "install update from external storage" with the stock bootloader?
Sure, I didn't post the link because it may not be allowed on this board (for newbies like me).
If you just put that title in Youtube it shows as the first result.
Anyway, here is the direct link for all the files:
Code:
https://www.datafilehost.com/d/296cd14c
Disable the download manager that is checked by default.
Use odin to flash TWRP, disable auto reboot and after flashing enter recovery at once with vol up+home+power buttons.
You may get a warning in red about recovery not enforcing blaba, just wait until TWRP shows and release the buttons.
It's not possible to flash SuperSU from stock recovery, you need a custom recovery like TWRP.
I couldn't find CWM for this phone, but anyway I like TWRP more.
Cheers.

Ahh, thanks! As it turns out I did find the correct link, but the trick was to immediately enter into recovery mode after flashing without letting the phone fully boot first. Got my phone rooted now, thanks a bunch!
This method workin on 100%/ Thanks!
