[Q] Im rooted.. need some pointers please

Hi all.. Firstly, so sorry about the generic title.. but as you will see, i have quite a few questions and I wasn't sure what to put.. or even if this needs to be in a different section.. sorry mods..
Anyway, here we go.. (advanced warning.. im not a complete idiot.. but not far off. so go gently)
HTC one sim free from phones4u in the UK.
im on android 4.1.2
software 1.28.401.7
htc sdk api level 5.12
The story so far:
Ive rooted my HTC one as I need to have rSAP working on it for my car (Audi). Also, I found the stock bluetooth stack didn't seem to work with my car either so i installed bluetooth phonebook app v 1.1.4.. this all seems to work well. I used rSAP v2.3.2
Now, I carried out all the above myself with lots of reading and to be perfectly honest, lots of trial and error installing it all. I didn't find it easy and for the life of me, I can't remember the steps.
The issue i have:
1. I keep getting a notification for an OTA update for my phone. I have tried to run it once.. but it did not install. I'm assuming because my phone is rooted. I force stop it, but it comes back every time i reboot.
2. I've noticed any app that requires root access is failing. (not all the time, some of the time) and if I go into SU it tells me the binary files need to be updated. I have two options. Run "normal" or "TWRP/CWM" neither of them work.
If i pick normal. It says installing, then reboots and is basically the same. The other option boots me into the recovery but I can't see any update to be applied.
UPDATE: I have now resolved this. I simply downloaded the latest zip file for SU.. booted into recovery and ran the zip update from there and it worked..
Now, you super clever lot probably think this is fun to mess around with.. but us, dare i say it, older peeps just really want to be able to press a button and it works.. (i know iphone.. but give me some credibility).
What I'd like to achieve:
1. I've ordered an OTG cable and drive today (be here tomorrow) with a view of taking an off device back up of my current data / app setiings etc. I assume this is easy to do?
2. I'd like to unroot and update the phone to the latest updates via the OTA service
3. I'd really like to get the rSAP/Bluetooth working with very little fuss
4. Put all my email accounts data etc back to where it was.
How to do achieve my request:
Over to you guys... just please for my own sanity.. and anyone else that reads this in the future.. make it easy.. just remember.. I'm not R2D2...:laugh:
Thanks so much.......... i will personally thank each and every useful reply..

If you're rooted, I'm guessing you're using a custom recovery? The OTA won't install if you have a custom recovery installed.
1. Yes, no issues there, but unrooted devices can only r/rw on FAT32 devices, and if your drive is NTFS, you need an app that requires root.
2. No need to unroot for OTA
3. Not too sure about this one
4. OTA won't wipe anything unless it specifically says so.

OK.. so I should be good to go with NTFS format drive. Is this as simple as I think, i.e. plug in the OTG cable and drive and go into the recovery and backup from there?

I'm a bit confused with this reply, as I don't seem to be able to complete the OTA update becasue I have custom recovery.. Do I need to remove custom recovery then apply the OTA update? If you could just expand on this please? i.e if i need to remove custom recovery, how do i do it?
Thanks

Hey,
Because you are rooted, you will not be able to install otas. They may notify you they exist, but you can't install them.
How do you get rid of them?
Well you're on a stock Rom. That Rom will receive otas from your service provider. You can install a custom Rom. It's fun! it gets rid of the notification but that's only like 2% of any advantage you can have from a custom Rom. Plus that ota that's trying to come to your phone is most likely already on a custom Rom, as the devs get leaks and port them way before regular users receive them. You could give it s try?
No idea about the first post.. loving the Audi part though haha!

Pull down the banner from the top of the phone. Click and hold the notification for the update, click app, then pick to force close it. It then goes away until you next re-boot.

Think you're quoting the wrong person
As I said in my earlier post, you can still receive OTAs and apply them even if you are rooted. The part that makes it fail is the custom recovery. You should be able to find the correct stock recovery from one of the threads here on XDA, or if you have ever received an OTA before on your device, the OTA zip file should still be in your internal SD.
Flash the stock recovery over TWRP (make sure to do a nandroid/backup first) and apply the OTA. You will probably lose root, but just root it again the usual way.
Then you can flash a custom recovery, root, etc etc all over again.
About the USB OTG, I believe TWRP always saves the nandroid backups internally, but you can always transfer them off to a USB device through USB OTG if you want. I don't think it natively supports reading from USB OTG while in recovery.

Why have it so complicating?
Hi,
what I don't understand is why your Audi is not recognising your phone properly? I stream music at home via BT to an APT-X receiver plugged into my stereo, and using quite often rental cars of all makes, I simply connect it, punch the PIN into my fone and the One phonebook is available.
Now, as you are already rooted, and of course unlocked, just download and flash a Custom ROM. They are rooted, and some are based on 4.2.2 and work very well.
No need to fuss about with what you are about to do!
Don't forget to backup imortant stuff you want to keep on your SD card, simply copy it over to your computer for future reference. JB 4.2.2 is organising the SD card structure differently, so you copy stuff back to SDcard/0/
Custom ROMs are featuring the latest updates anyway very quickly, so there really is no need whatsoever to wait for an OTA (which you should never ever attempt to flash when rooted/S-off-ed)
Looking forward to see what you are telling me about the Audi BT connection trouble. I never had any!

Audi..bless them, use a strange protocol. The stock Bluetooth stack will connect but will not transfer the contact information. It can be fixed once root is gained. In all honesty Audi really need to look at this problem.

Try maybe with the Custom ROM in my signature. It worked very well with the Ford Kuga I had last week, music as well as contacts.
Just read up a bit on the different SD card managment google implemented with the multi user stuff.
And I have to say: Audi A7 ???? Nice motor!

Yes , it's a lovely car.. Thanks.. Also; thanks for the info. I will investigate roms..

Hi all, Sorry I've been away working for the last few weeks so I've not had chance to do any of the above.
I was hoping I could get some easy to follow (trust me, it has to be easy at my age) instructions on the best way to achieve what I want to do. If the step by step instructions could include links ot the downloads i need, that would be fantastic.
Re-cap on what I want to acheive:
My phone right now:
The phone was purchased from Phoes4u (UK) as a sim free unit. I currently have an O2 sim inserted
Android 4.1.2, HTC sense 5, Software 1.28.401.7
HTC SDK API level 5.12
Kernel 3.4.10-gddcfb8croot
When i boot into recovery it tells me:
M7-UL PVT SHIP S_ON RH
HBOOT-1.44.0000
I have added rSAP v2.3.3 to the phone in order for my car to have access. http://www.android-rsap.com/compatibility.html
I have one exchange email, some movies, and basically thats it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to update to the latest Jelly Bean and ensure I keep rSAP for my car. If there is a way to back up all my data and movies and simply press a button to re-install it, data, settings for email etc that would be fantastic.
Please help if you can.....
thanks.

[Q] Need Root access for new upgrade path

New MotoX from sprint.
android version 4.2.2
baseband msm8960pro_bp_2323.020.90.00r
kernel 3.4.42.-xline.
system version 139.14.1
build 13.9.0q2.x-116-mx-17-57-1
i did a fair amount of searching but could not find the proper instructions for obtaining root access for the moto x. Need root access or this device would be a deal breaker.
Can someone point me to a link? I would be much appreciated. Thanks Listers!!!

You must of not even attempted to do any real looking. This forum is not that large for the Moto X and there is plenty of information for you to see.
1) you have a sprint phone so you can unlock the Bootloader, install TWRP, get root no matter the Android version
2) there is a clearly titled post in one of the subforums that will tell you how to get root

I did search the web and the forums; I'm sorry. it was a long day, i had just purchased the phone and wanted to make sure i didn't brick it. I have rooted/jailbroken several other devices but wanted to know if the latest ota update would cause a problem for that.
Again, I'm sorry for for the excess forum baggage.
I'll try again.

ownmoto or whatever?? um... ok... I can tell you haven't browsed the different sections for the Moto X here or you would have seen in the "Moto X Original Android Development" section that its called "PwnMyMoto"
Brokenwall gave you a way to root your sprint device, no matter what stock rom you're running... OTA updates or not. Granted unlocking your bootloader voids your warranty... and he didn't give you a 100% newbie step by step guide which it now seems you were really looking for.
Also in the Moto X Original Android Development is a thread titiled... "[Root] RockMyMoto (Yes, even the first OTA)" which is pretty obvious as to what it is for. If you took a few minutes to read it, you'd know it is what you want if you don't want to unlock your bootloader. Its not a very long thead (141 posts currently) so it wont take long to read. The original post contains everything you need, except how to make sure you have Telnet as part of your Windows install (there are posts in that thread later that say what to do to enable/install Telnet as a Windows Feature inside Add/Remove Programs).
Sorry, if I come across as harsh. I know you just want to root without screwing up your phone, and I get that. But I'm afraid if you haven't been able to look around and find this stuff, you'll likely not be able to properly follow and understand the instructions and will therefore stand a good chance of messing up your phone!!!

OK. I am sorry about the post. I know I'm at the mercy of the forum here.
I was up till 2 am getting this phone unlocked, but when I installed wireless tether it said I was not rooted.
Had to install sdk, get a long unlock code, etc.
Evidently I have yet to attain root access, but its not as though I"m not trying.
I have done rooted/jailbroken a couple times before with my htc evo/iphone, and am fairly computer literate, but I just can't hash this out.
I read this thread, but could not quite make out the steps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509590., The video has no sound, which makes it a little more difficult.
I have also read about an OTA on 10/7 or so that patched some of the root methods, so, at the risk of getting put in my place, I'm humbly coming to ask for assistance in helping get my phone rooted.
Again, I'm sorry for being stuck here and having to ask the question. I would greatly appreciate the assistance of someone who can speak to my specific situation.
Thank you and regards to those who can help.

The steps taken in the video are exactly explained in the post.
There are a few assumptions.. 1. Your PC has telnet on it, or you know how to install it. (there is a link further in that thread which Windows users can follow. 2. You have ADB Driver and Platform tools from the AndroidSDK installed correctly on your PC, and Moto drivers installed. Again, there are threads on this already, so you'll have to find/follow them.
You could also try to follow this post -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47067076 however, it uses puttytel.exe instead of Telnet so it will look a little different. It too assumes you've properly installed ADB Driver and Platform Toos from the Android SDK along with the Moto drivers.
Another option is the "Tool Kit" -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477132 which is an "all in one" type tool that should set things up and help you too. I've not used it, but it appears to be a complete package including ADB and the drivers. Only thing would be if you want to use "Flash back to stock" you need to download the ROM file separately.

Right now, there is the rom the phone shipped with. If you have that, you use PwnMyMoto process to root it. The "camera update" that was pushed over the air. If you have that, you use RockMyMoto. And as of yesterday, if you have Verizon X, there is KitKat which can not be rooted (unless your carrier allows you to unlock your phone's boot loader)

I tried the puttytel thread, but I kept getting a timeout like this guy did:
"After running cydia impactor I see a popup for a second that says payload and then it disappears. I then try to run puttytel but it just keeps failing with "network error: connection timed out"." That was the error I kept getting.
The other problem I am currently having is not being able to push files to my device because it doesnt show up as a drive letter. I have usb debugging enabled.
I would about paypal someone for some help at this point. Bummed. I just want my device rooted so I can send my daughter the one I promised here.

I have no idea why this process has been so difficult this time around. I have rooted, downloaded & installed custom roms, etc.

Isn't this just for the verizon model?
Guys/Gals/Developers.... I'm really stuck, and would greatly appreciate some help.
I have read thru the threads.
I can't get my phone to be recognized as a drive. Only a camera. Yes, I installed usb mass storage from play store. No luck.
I can't push files to the root of the device.
I have to believe it can be done, I'm just not getting it for some reason.
I'm really sorry, as I have said in multiple posts. Like I said, I would paypal you a reasonable sum if one of the more experienced people out there want to remote in via logmein and help. I know that sounds lame. I'm normally a guy who likes to research it all himself and do this.
I'm normally the guy who helps other people with this stuff, but I just can't hash this out. I've spent the last three days of my free time reading, researching, trying to get the thing to connect as a drive so I can push files to it and run them via adb.. Even went so far as considering buying a wireless adapter to put the files there wirelessly. I'd try now but I'm exhausted. If you can help, please PM me and we can work out something if you are willing. Thanks to those who have suggested methods. I do appreciate your help. I have tried them all except the last kit kat method which I thought was just for Verizon. I'm with sprint. As tired as I am, I'm afraid to brick the thing. I'm very close to asking for a method to restore the phone and take it back. I really wanted wireless tether. I need it for work and to run the ipad on occasion. Sorry this was a long post/thread.
Sorry I'm not as quick as the rest of you. Just want a rooted phone and can't seem to get it done this time on my own.
Any suggestions?

No. That will work for any Moto X Developer Edition or Carrier edition with an unlocked boot loader. So T-Mobile, Sprint, etc.. If you can unlock your boot loader via -> https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth then you can root via this process.

To get your phone to show up in windows as Drive Letter, needs USB Mass Storage mode. Ok, You've installed an app for that, fine... but 1. I'm not aware of that app working, and more importantly, 2. I am not aware of any root method in these forums that requires your phone to show as a "drive letter" to work. So I couldn't even begin to suggest what you are doing wrong.
What instructions are you actually trying to follow? Why not post questions on it in that particular thread, including exact details of what you've done, what you see on your phone, any/all errors or messages, etc.???
And if what you really want to do is tether with sprint, I hope you have checked out threads with suggestions on hacks/ways that work to tether on Sprint Moto X before you worry about rooting.
For example, if you want to remain non-rooted, FoxFi could possibly be an option. As I am a Verizon user and haven't used it, I can't say how well it works for Spint, and I can't say how well it works for Verizon, just that Verizon KK users say it doesn't work, but it did with the JB/4.2.2 roms..

KidJoe;
Thanks for your patience. I'm sorry about all of this. I have tried to be as clear as I can be, but I will redouble my efforts. Let me read clearly that last link and I will post back. I do want root access for all the other cool things it enables too, so I'm determined to get it right. I just want to be careful not to miss something and turn a decent phone into a paperweight.
That link you referenced is exactly what I used to unlock. When I reboot the phone, I get a white screen with a red exclamation point that says bootloader unlocked.

Fox Fi is a no go
Update. Just tried Foxfi. Does not work with current status of unlock but not rooted. I need root, but how does one copy files to the device via usb? I remember there being a setting.
I opened a new thread on this subject. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47740046#post47740046
Hope that's not against the rules. I really thing the failure is related to my inability (or ignorance of how to ) push files to the device.
Good gravy. This has eaten up WAY too much time.
Apparently its a mixed bag over at sprint. Some can some can't.

V3 Bluetooth
I too used the V3 tool to root but at the end my phone wouldn't recognize the Gear. I ended up wiping everything, used the V1 then the V2 and finally got the gear back to where I could use it. Did the OTA and all seems okay. Going to try an root using V2 instead. My question is once that is all successful what can I do different? Can I download a keyboard onto the Gear? As a NOBE where do I go to find a new ROM , find out how to flash it and then what I can do from there? I will apologize upfront for my beginner questions. Thanks

APK Apps aren't working?
I installed Nova Launcher and Flesky Keyboard and each time I try to use them on the Gear Live I get this message "unfortunately Nova Launcher has stopped". Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong or need to do to be able to use these apps on my Gear Live?

Did you have time to test it with the recent 5.0.1 update? I'd love to use your Utility to restore my watch to its factory state but I'm not sure if it would break (I know, there's always a chance).
Do you think I can try flashing the images without damaging it?

Used V3 of this utility to flash stock image after of temp rooting for data extraction. Now it won't pair with any phone anymore. No Bluetooth. Can't get adb to work as I can't authorize the computer to flash anything else.
Watch is a useless now. Heads up to others.
At leat I have an excuse to buy a Moto now
UPDATE: IT LIVESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
So I didnt know that the watch could go into fastboot with some custom taps and such. Did those, got into fastboot, used V2 toolkit and all is well now!!!
How to for others:
1. Hold the power button until the Gear Live reboots
2. When you see the Samsung Logo on the screen swipe your finger from top left to bottom right of screen twice while still holding power
Success!!!!!!!!!!

Superuser.apk in my Gear Live
Hello.
After using the Tool, I was able to restore my Gear Live, and get updates (Originally it comes with bad firmware, from bestbuy).
I only have one problem. After several updates, I have AndroidWear 5.1.1. I got OTAS from 4.4w, justo normally, but the process
left me with Superuser.apk installed.
I can't uninstall it, and if I try to run it, I get an error, and the apk closes.
Is there something I can do, to eliminate this app? I tried with temproot, but I can't access to original system folder in my Gear Live.
Can you, or anyone help me with this problem?
I flashed KMV78Ystock.zip. In theory, it is a stock rom dump. I can't see the Superuser.apk, if I mount the image.
I just want my Gear Live factory restored. I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance!

After using the Tool, I was able to restore my Gear Live, and get updates (Originally it comes with bad firmware, from bestbuy).
I only have one problem. After several updates, I have AndroidWear 5.1.1. I got OTAS from 4.4w, justo normally, but the process
left me with Superuser.apk installed.
I can't uninstall it, and if I try to run it, I get an error, and the apk closes.
Is there something I can do, to eliminate this app? I tried with temproot, but I can't access to original system folder in my Gear Live.
Can you, or anyone help me with this problem?
I flashed KMV78Ystock.zip. In theory, it is a stock rom dump. I can't see the Superuser.apk, if I mount the image.
I just want my Gear Live factory restored. I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try removing via adb? In theory, a factory reset of watch and flash image again it should clear non stock files

I just flashed recovery, boot and system images again. Whitout flashing twrp recovery. And have a perfectly pure gear live. Thanks for the advice.
Seems like custom recovery was the problem the first time.

Samsung Gear Live
I have installed the ADB driver, but when I run the test my device is not found and my computer is saying USB device not recognized. Also, I never got a pop up on my phone. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Gear Live watch only shows TWRP menu from team win
So i am not a programmer and don't know most of this stuff, I just followed instructions. I installed root, recovery, and system images through cmd prompt. I lost bluetooth and other functionallity but it seemed to update to a newer version. I then attempted to flash TWRP which put my phone in a state that only shows the TRWP menu. I have restarted, rebooted, tried installing other images but i really don't know what to do. Can anyone help, Please!
I have a note 5 phone
watch is reconditioned, it was in some kind of mode that is not the original factory mode, many features were not working or not there. that is why i started this process.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2846696 do stock restore, make sure you have watch plugged in, factory reset and connected bluetooth to phone. The updates will begin

to freeze apps. and OTA
the play store says "You don't have any devices" when i try to login in to the play store on my computer

Also sometimes it says its updating I believe because it is refreshing the apps when you root it says its updating I've noticed on stock android when you do this stuff it says its upgrading because its optimising apps

Just realised you've connected to the internet before blocking otas the guide clearly says to not connect to the internet so it can't download them, Google play on 5.0.0 can't check licences also so apps like launchers won't activate the plus features

The splash screen that says the latest update is being installed is just Amazon's version of the Android dialog that says Android is upgrading, which you'll get any time you wipe cache. In other words, if you're already on 5.0.1 and have been messing around with it (e.g. rooting it) it's not unusual to see the "latest update" screen on reboot as the cache gets rebuilt.

dont know but i am already on 5.0.1 or maybe it's 5.0.1.1
this is something new and just released
stopping the update, should not brick it
if it does i could always put the update file back
once someone tells me how to remove it or stop the update process

oh ya i wiped the cash yesterday and did a factory reset
then rooted it
you think thats why today i see the update ?
or is it something new ?
no that cant be it i remember it rebuilding the cash yesterday
so this is something new
probably to fix the root hole we found
because if we root it we dont have to see their adds
or use their programs like "PRIME"
and they dont make money
thats why i am scared of this update
because it's in their best interest to stop root and boot-loaders

If you're on 5.0.1 then you're on the latest and you're not receiving an update.

I have got same problem
I originally have stopped the OTA through adb shell
but then I still got the update
not sure why this happens...

thanks for your reply
and ya i WAS rooted on 5.0.1 also
they must have changed the kernel or something on the update
without changing the version number
but that's just a theory, and i could be wrong
it is also possible ANY update of ANY kind takes away root
..
i think i'll get it back but i have not tryed yet

More than likely it isn't an ota, I had this happen a few times messing with system using root apps, it's just rebuilding cache like users suggested, also when I rooted the device I had that come up before, it's fine.
Just make sure the ota services are disabled/hide/removed.

You can install all the updates available for this device, you won't lose root. Not yet at least

Thank you all for your kind replies

i used this app to check for root
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
Plus after install of the update i lost superuser
dead give away right there, but i wanted to make sure anyway
so i used that app

The Complete Guide to Flashing Android 7.1.1 (CM14.1 Unofficial) on a LG G2 (VS980)

(Note: I didn't make any of this software. I just found it all and brought it together. I apologize for not being able to add direct links to each post I got this all from, I didn't record the sites I got them from.)
This is for the people who were unlucky enough to own a VS980 LG G2, rather than the other models which are loved by developers, a phone that is incredibly finicky and niche...
I honestly wish somebody made a guide like this for us VS980 users (a phone which most ROMs don't work on, has a locked bootloader, etc...) before I had to experience this pain.
(Okay, rant over.)
​However, I have done it anyway and installed 7.1.1 Nougat on the VS980
(If you don't know the pain I'm talking about, consider yourself lucky...)
I've also gathered all the necessary files to one place so you won't have to hunt like I did. Following this guide to a T should result in a "effortless" to a "dang, I had to do something" modding experience
"Basic" Steps:
Install ALL tools Necessary (Drivers, Programs, Etc...)
Downgrade to Kitkat
Root
Install TWRP and Kernel
Erase Phone
Install Bootstack
Install ROM (CM14.1)
Install Gapps
Reboot and Enjoy (Might take a while first boot.)
Additional Notes (So you guys don't do what I do)
The files are all downloadable here:
Mega: https://mega.nz/folder/nOQiSZhA#geOCtLtVnEqVABogOXhmvA
(The files are 3.3GB so it will take a while.)
Use MegaDownloader to bypass Mega's download restrictions:
https://megadownloader.en.softonic.com/
The folders are marked accordingly to the "Basic" steps listed above.
Follow each of them in order and Open the "READ ME" text file in each for instructions.
Good luck!
(Sorry for the Bland-looking Post and Files, I don't really have a knack for making colorful Guides.)
EXTRA:
If you'd like to try getting 8.1, Here's a link to a ROM (I tested) that works:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-aospextended-rom-v5-6-t3802329
Just make sure you flash the bootstack. Files are found in Folder: "9.Things to Try"
Basically follow the same steps (Downgrading, TWRP, etc...)
-Use Magisk to Root (Better than Super SU because, installed properly, it will hide your root so you don't
have to use Root Cloak.) <=(Pokémon GO)
NOTICE: WHEN REBOOTING AFTER FLASHING, DO NOT PRESS INSTALL SUPER SU
Just press do not install. You can root later....
[ Installing Super SU can possibly brick your phone and you'll have to start over ]
(It's just that every time I press that button, it never works... but I'm not sure )
If you brick your phone (Black screen of death), you can use a USB jig to get it to download mode and use the .kdz flasher (Lg Flash Tool) to restart from the beginning with the stock software.
USB jigs are really cheap (like <2$. I just made one myself ) and are incredibly useful to get out of tight situations. If you plan on modding a lot in the future, you should consider getting one.
(If you don't know what I am talking about, try to keep it that way.)
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:
I thought I should add this (You're welcome BTW)

Is anyone still out there?
All of the Mega linked folders are empty, am I doing something wrong?
As a side note, my objective is to upgrade the ROM to at least Marshmallow so I can install Android Auto and Screen2 Auto. There is one app I want to use but it isn't allowed by Android Auto. I'm then hoping to make the phone a dedicated Android Auto "server" and leave it connected to my car's USB port. Any guidance on the best way to do this would be appreciated.
My VS980 is currently on the stock Android 5.0.2 ROM.
Update: I managed to get CM14.1 installed following the "Basic" steps. It took some trial and error but I got there.
If anyone finds this thread and knows of a better ROM for my use I'd be interested in hearing about it.

I think the files expired in Mega (or I'm doing something wrong to access them).
My phone seems to be working OK but I don't use it for making phone calls.
My main problem now is I can't figure out how to access fastboot. I get a "waiting for any device" response when I issue any fastboot command. I can get to the download screen where it is waiting for a firmware update but I can't get past that.

Re uploaded the MEGA link. Don't know why there weren't any files there anymore. It is probably because I didn't check it for a while.
