[q] heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!!!!

Hi,
Excuse me but this is my first time here as well my first time having android device, and have no idea of it, i have a problem, i have galaxy note (Only 2 days) and i went to your forum to root my device (As i thought it is like jailbreak for my old iphone) and i downloaded the "CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5" as it was for my kernal vrsn, i followed the steps and all worked just fine...well after some friends got me worry about that rooting can damage your phone of am not aware of what i am doing, so i found a video of how to unroot using "DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING" and i followed the steps, so after i unroot one of those 2 icons was deleted, but CWM was not and each time i open it it says " CMW Manager needs SuperUser access to function ! If you have SU installed make sure CWM Manager is not blocked, then reboot and try again" so i use "DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING" again but nothing happened, then i use " CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5 " and clicked on (ALREADY ROOTED) and nothing changed then i thought that if again use (NOT ROOTED YET) then it will solve, but after the process finished, NOTHING CHANGED ONLY CWM icon is there.....
So i want to bring everything back to normal...HOW I CAN DO THAT..and please i am a beginner so please use easy steps with me....
Again Sorry for the inconvenience but have nooooooooooo idea what to do

First i'd like to send HUUUUUUGE THX for your fast reply but understanding your solution is like trying to understand Chinese lol sorry but i have no idea how to do that, PLEASE if possible the steps or a video to follow...
Really appreciate your fast reply

go to www.sammobile.com find firmware version which you want and flash via odin

Try this guide for installing a ROM using Odin. Worked for me and many others.

But is that mean that ill loose all my data (apps, contacts, msgs...etc) and if so is there a way that i can backup and restore later after the flashing ??

Flashing using the guide removes root but leaves personal data untouched.

@Gaugerer: I followed the steps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1465995 as you mentioned and it WORKED ))))))))))))))))))))))))

Great news )

Your friends are clueless. Rooting won't destroy your phone. Should've kept it rooted.

Clockworkmod loop HELP Please

Hello Everyone,
I finally bought the new Galaxy Note and well I think I may have done something wrong. I unboxed it, turned it on played with it a bit. Then I rooted it so far all seemed fine. Then i installed clockworkmod and this is where things went wrong now no matter what i do when it boots it goes straight to clockworkmod recovery. Please anyone that is on help, To be honest i am freaking out because i forgot to look and write down the info for this phone so I am not even sure if i can flash it back to stock and start over.
THANK YOU so much to anyone who helps.

How did you root it? Did you use the zergrush exploit? Odin? If you can get to CWM recovery, you could trying flashing a GB ROM, stock firmware, or a nandroid backup...if you made one of those?

First of all thank you for taking the time to help me, I do apprecaite it. I used ODIN to root the phone. I also used ODIN to install clockwork. It will boot straight into clockwork with no problem. Do you know of where I can find a stock rom and go back to the way the phone was when i bought it? I have no idea of what was on it when i bought it forgot to go to about phone to write down the info. I feel so stupid right now.

It doesn't really matter what was on your phone when you bought it. Just go here, download one of the older stock Roms (KK9 would be my choice, easily rootable via zergrush method), and flash it using PC Odin.
After you're done, root it and upgrade stock, flash custom Roms, whatever.

I'm glad you're in the clear now.

So in order to get the phone back to the way it was original when bought, if i follow those instructions and download the kk9 one and then let the phone update everything will be like it was. Think i will hold off on rooting and stuff till i learn more cant afford to mess this phone up.

[Q] Cannot Root - Please help!

Hi Everyone,
I know there are numerous posts on here and other sites about how to root your galaxy ace but I have tried them all and nothing seems to work. I have struggled with the phone for the last 17 months. I am due an upgrade in January. The lack of memory and poor performance does my head in. This is my first Android device. I hope newer devices are better else I will try to get an iPhone when I upgrade (or even win mobile).
When I try to root I either get:
"Error in /sdcard/upd_1.zip (status 7) Installation aborted
or
it says installation complete and when I reboot there is nothing to indicate a successfully rooted phone.
I have tried numerous downloaded files such as root,zip, upd_1.zip, update.zip etc and nothing I download seems to do the job.
I tried the Jelly Bean Cyanogen rom for a while but I found it even slower. Ideally I will stick with Gingerbread but I need to remove all the bundled crap. I have already moved as many apps as I can to sd card using the "SetInstallLocation 2" command which helped but I still hate this phone as it is.
Can someone PLEASE help before I pull out what little hair I have left.
Thanks

You can flash a new ROM but can't root?
Just flash a pre-rooted stock ROM. Then delete system apps you don't need. Tada!

Hi,
Thanks for the replies. I just downloaded universal_gb_root and it seemed to go okay. Lots of text flashing up screen then message saying something like "your phone now has root access - enjoy"
I restarted fully expecting it to have worked but alas, it is just the same. I then installed root checker from play store which confirms that "this device does not have proper root access."
I will have another look tomorrow after work. (if not chucked phone out car window by then)
How can tesco advertise this phone as "great for app lovers and gamers!" Yeah, if you only want a handful at any one time - grrrr

Sorry to hear that. My phone´s root was done long ago with one of those solutions that didnt work on your phone. So if you dont want to continue to look for a way to root, you can simply install a custom rom that already has root
I dont know stock rom´s already rooted, you have que wait for ironman to show you, But there are custom rom´s based on stock rom´s in this forum. Sorry coulnd be more helpful
[EDIT btw you did open superSU and upgrade the SU binary, or it didnt have superSU at all, after root?

hello searched the web and found this site that is guaranteed to be updated.
Tested the download and installation on my PC and it works, however, have not experienced in S5830 cause I already have root. You might want to find someone who has successfully used

Hi,
I didn't have superSU at all. No new icons or anything indicating root. Thanks for the suggestions. I will try when I get a minute.

Try My Blog.
www.andro-sapien.blogspot.in.
Root procedure is given and that file there actually works. Tested by me n many other people.

Need to reinstall phone

hey guys, Just trying to get my bearings on where to start. A friend game me a HTC Desire 510 that was not loading for him. Just sticking on the HTC loading screen.
He managed to "unlock" it. Not sure if it has root access.
In anycase it will not loal anymore, stuck on HTC load screen. I followed a few threads and tried to reset/restore things but now it looks like i need to just reinstall the OS.
Where I am lost is where/can i get the stock OS for this phone?
If not , do i need to get root access, load in a bootloader and then load in a custom ROM?
last time I did all this before was 2 years ago on a Samsung so I am a little rusty on the steps.
details
HTC Desire 510 - europe (Irish)
HBOOT - 3.19.0.0000
Radio 01.02.012
When I load up the bootloader I have "Sofrware status: Officaial *** at the tope and UNLOCKED under that.
Cheers

check the htc website for the latest rom(update) also this thread is sprint/virgin/boost
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/development/virgin-sprint-htc-desire-510-stock-t2961521
cricket stock rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/help/stock-rom-cricket-htc-desire-510-t3161697
id see if the htc site works first but thats just me.
hope i was of help to you with your issues if not wait for more experanced members to assist.

Are you in Europe? If you are that's most likely a 64 bit phone and you'll need Philz Touch Recovery unless you have one installed. You'll also need to find a 64 bit stock HTC desire 510 rom.. It should work after installing them.
Edit: The HTC websites rom updater will not work since the phones boot is unlocked.. Just try what I said above.

Yes I am in Europe.
Will give what suggested a go and let you know..

Ok guys , getting around to trying this now but running into some small problems.
Question 1
I have installed adb.exe and it does work with my main phone (HTC m8) but when i plug in the broken phone it does not pick up that phone (when i do a ">adb.exe devices") I saw some comments saying that I need to enable debug mode but how can I do that when i cannot even load the phone up ?
Question 2
I would like to install this Philz Touch Recovery , so i can installed the new RUU but I see on some sites that I need to install ClockworkMod first. Now I am not sure if this is needed or not but i still have the problem of being unable to install it from the bootloader screen. There is no option to install from zip? So this might sound like a real n00b question but how can install anything to my phone when all i have it the bootloader screen. My options when i boot up are . . .
Fastboot
-->HBOOT
-->RAMDUMP
-->REBOOT
-->REBOOT fastboot
-->power down
recovery
factory reset
simlock
check smartSD
image CRC show barcode.
Review. . .
I would think my issue is with the broken phones connecting to my laptop and the use of adb.exe. If I could get that working i can use adb.exe to installl clockworkmod and from that I can boot up the phone and install Philz Touch Recovery, and then using phils installer I can install the original 64bit Rom and be in business?
does that seem right?
Cheers

Well now that you say that. I am having a strange issue. The phone will boot but only when I select "recovery" mode from the bootloader?
I presume what I have done is flashed the wrong image to the wrong section. I think i need to to flash something to boot and not to recovery when I was running the "fastboot flash recovery image.img!"
ideas?

I don't get what you're trying to do. If you wanna get back up and running, all you have to do is relock the bootloader and run the RUU... That's it. Your recovery doesn't matter. You don't need a custom recovery for that. Any custom recovery you have will be replaced by the stock one when you run the RUU.
I haven't been on this forum much lately, (so please correct me if I'm wrong, somebody) but from what I remember, the only custom recovery available for the 64-bit variant 510 is Philz. If that's the case then you shouldn't be flashing CWM

Yes you seem to be correct . I locked the bootloader and then used the command "fastboot flash boot <htc_orginal_ruu>" and it started working again.
I had lots of issues trying to get the CWM installed . It was someone else on this thread that suggested that but I think that info was wrong.
And just to conform for others that may read this someday you do not need Phils recover if you want to get the original system running. if you want to install custom ROMs then you need it then.
Thanks for the input. Half the time its just good to write out your problem so you can understand.

I did say you needed philz touch recovery if you have a 64 bit phone and you never really answered the 64 bit question and I asked because you said you are in Europe (Irish) and if you do have a 64 bit phone then you do need philz if you want to use other roms like the rest (most) of us on here do.

I've read through this entire thread more than 3 times and I never once seen anyone in this thread tell you to run CWM(ClockWorkMod).. or to even use that so where did get that idea from... The only thing I suggested was Philz Touch Recovery as did @Surj138 for a good reason cause it's the only one that's 64 bit for your phone!

It was from other threads that I read to install Phils recovery I would need install CWM but I think now that is for other phones. I said it was in this thread by mistake.
As for going for the original ROM as opposed to a custom ROM my reasoning is three fold. . . .
1. This phone will not be staying with me. Will be giving it back to my friend who is giving it to his daughter. She is would have no use for a root phone.
2. The last time I was using custom ROM was with my Samsung S2 about 3 years ago. I did like all the extra features, free apps and full customization that you can do with it but I did find that no matter what custom ROM I found there would be little problems with each one. Performance would slowly drop the more i switched around the custom ROMS.
3. Custom ROMs are great and all but we cannot be 100% sure there is not hidden male-ware in some of them that is robbing my data. It was going to be a spare phone for playing games then i would not mind but to give to someone as there main phone is not the best option.
