To to google, in search type in SuperOneClick v1.1.5 go into settings>applications>development>USB debugging and make sure thats checked. Then go back to the superoneclick and click root. If that dont work try shutting down the phone and and once the phone is powered off click the root button in SOC when SOC says "waiting for device"go ahead and power your phone back on. And if that method also dont work then remove your memory card power on your phone and attempt to root again. Good luck!

Just done a search and come up with this http://software2tech.com/tag/superoneclick-1-5-5/
Is that what I need? Also what about a recovery image? Rom manager from,market?

[Q] AWS Streak question.

Hi
I have a aws streak which I'd like to root and put a custom rom on. Here's the question: is the root process the same as for the regular AT&T streak?

*** this is not my work. I simply copy & pasted from another XDA forum***
So, from what you saying, it doesnt matter if its AWS or not and I can use the same files and same process to root it as the regular US streak?
I noticed the baseband you mentioned is GAUSB1A34500-US which is regular streak..
Heres what I have GAUSB1A133300-AWS.

Well, the root process went well, but when I installed DJ Steve's 1.9 rom something went wrong. Basically now it just boot loops with "StreakDroid" logo..
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thank you

Unable to install custom recovery! $20 to whoever can help!

I've been working on this for 2 days now and I can't seem to find an answer. I'll pay $20 to the dude who finds the resolution.
So, I just got a new Amaze, fresh out of the package. I was able to unlock the bootloader with no problems. However, when I run the flash.bat file the phone reboots into the boot loader, but nothing happens, the MS DOS prompt simply says "sending 'recovery' <4634 KB>". I've tried to use Hasoon's all-in-one-kit, but it is not able to install any recovery either. I'm not a noob, so don't insult my intelligence with stuff like "were you in USB debugging mode"? YES, I've read all the directions, and searched all over.
Things I've tried:
2 diff computers
2 diff USB cables
reinstalled HTC drivers
relocked the and unlocked the bootloader
Tried diff recoveries - CWM 5.0.02.5 and TWRP 2.0.0
Running HTC Amaze
Anyone?
Try this...
Put the recovery.img in your android/tools folder (be sure there are no other recovery.imgs in there)
Run cmd
Type the following...
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" be sure that the name of the .img matches the command where it reads recovery.img.
Do it the easy way
ClockworkMOD 5.5.0.4 Amaze 4g/Ruby: http://www.android-dev.us/showthread...4-Off-charging
---------------------
1. Download file to your computer
2. make sure its named PH85IMG.zip
3. Copy to sdcard (externel one)
4. Pull battery and replace
5. Hold volume down and then hit power
6. Wait for it to say do you want toupdate (press volume up)
7. Press power button to reboot
8. Reboot Phone into recovery as normal and enjoy clockworkmod recovery with fixed charging and sdcard

Command worked, however hangs at "sending 'recovery' <5066 KB>..."
On the screen of the Amaze there is a green vertical progress bar that is about 1/4 filled, but never moves beyond that.
Do you have root access? If so try downloading Rom Manager from the Market and flashing it with that.
Edit: N/m I went and re-read the instructions again and see you need recovery first.

you need root for that method to work, and even then it has a really old version of cwm that does not have internal sdcard support...

Hey, If you are S-ON you have to do one step more. Go as to my sequence.
I assume you have already downloaded fastboot, drivers and android in your pc. And your phone is bootloader unlocked via HTC dev method and rooted, CWM installed. So ..
You need these : SuperWipe (To wipe data) , A Custom ROM ( I suggest Mwakious Demcritous 3D v7.0) / Put these to your sdcard root and Get a copy of these on your PC hard drive too.
1. First go to your recovery menu ( Here its CWM) and select Install from zip file.
2. Select the SuperWipe.zip and click OK, this wipes all your data.
3. Now again select install update from Zip file on recovery . Select the Custom ROM zip file from the sdcard and click install.
4. Then youll see its getting installed. Once its done select turn off your Phone from recovery menu.
5. BOOT IN TO BOOTLOADER Menu now. (Holding vol down + power) , DO NOT TURN ON YOUR PHONE OR YOU'LL get STUCKED in BOOT LOOP
6. Connect the phone to the PC, then bootloader menu will say --> Connected via USB
8. Now unzip the same ROM file youve got in your Hard Drive. Once done find a file called "boot.img" inside that unzipped folder.
9. Now open up a cmd, go to you android tools location (eg: C:/>Program Files/Android)
10. Type > fastboot devices ( If this shows some result which makes any sense proceed to step 11)
11. Now type the below command on the CMD.
"fastboot flash boot C:\<Location you've extracted the zip>\Mwakious3DRom.v.7.0\boot.img"
12.If the result says DONE, you are good to go.
13. Turn off the phone and On it now
14. You should be logged in without a problem, guaranteed !!! Otherwise let me know
Thanks

[Q] Rooted XPS being not able to install CWM

My XPS is ROOTED w/o unlocking bootloader.
I follow the following instruction to install CWM on my XPS.
However, I got stuck when typing the cmd comment.
It kept telling me the device is not rooted, but Im certain on the fact that
my XPS is rooted since I have superuser, RE, Titanium backup.
PS: I am using Generic CH (1257-3740) XPERIA S LT26i ROM (6.1.A.0.452)
How to Install Doomlord’s ClockworkMod Recovery on Xperia S
Download the Doomlord CWM Recovery image (download link here) and the Wi Fi Module for Doom Kernel (download link here) and place the same to the computer.
Go and rename the “S-DooMKernel-v01_kernel.elf” file into “kernel.elf”.
Copy the file renamed on the same folder with ADB / fastboot.
Take your phone and its USB cord and by using both connect it with the computer.
Copy-paste the “S-DooMKernel-v01-Modules.zip” file from the PC to the Xperia S SD card.
Disconnect the smartphone from the computer.
Reboot it by entering in fastboot; press the Volume Up button while connecting the phone with the PC.
On the computer open command prompt (Start -> run -> cmd) and enter the command: fastboot flash boot kernel.elf. If this isn’t working try with: fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot kernel.elf.
The handset should reboot.
When you see the light turn blue hold the Voluem Up button. The Xperia S will enter in recovery mode.
In the recovery menu select “install zip from sd card” and pick the file copied there on step 3.
The installation procedure should begin. Don’t press anything as the process might take up to 10 minutes to complete.
In the end, from the recovery mode menu select “reboot system now” and you are done.
There you have it; that was the easiest and fastest way in which you can learn how to install Doomlord’s ClockworkMod Recovery on your Xperia S smartphone. Do tell us if there were problems on your way, of if you had issues in understanding one of my directions. Now you can go and update your Xperia S with the lasts ROMs available. Take a look and see if the Cyanogen Mod 9 Ice Cream Sandwich ROM is what you are looking for.
Waiting for someone else to confirm this method. You should post it on General or maybe Dev section, to attract more attention.

1. Turn off your phone.
2. Boot your phone in Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Power Button).
3. Install the zip file in the following link. h ttp: // ww w.m ediafire. com/download/sh541l2u2e78vl6/CWM6.0.27.z ip (DELETE ALL SPACES )
4.Reboot into the custom recovery you have just installed.
5.Go to toggle signature verification and check if it is enabled or disabled. If it is enabled, you HAVE TO disable it.
6. Select ROM.zip from your phone memory and flash it.
7.If you do not have the rom on your phone(The same ROM of which you deleted the system folder), then mount the usb storage from recovery with your phone connected to the PC. Transfer files to the usb storage or phone storage, which ever is convenient.
8.Boot into Recovery and flash the ROM.
9.Reboot phone and WAIT.
Let me know if that works :good:

Mr.Jaswal, if he really had to go to the mobile care center, he wouldn't be participating the XDA Forums. People go to the mobile care center only when their phone is hard bricked, and i do not think that is the case here. I'm sure the problem can be solved.
Reflash stock ROM again.You will get your system back.

Yes you can, as long as your phone is rooted.But make sure you use a custom recovery and not the stock recovery .Meaning,you have to flash another recovery like CWM Recovery. And please disable signature verification. Let me know what happens Reset to factory settings and do a full wipe before doing anything else though

If that's the way your phone goes into recovery , then it will go into the custom recovery. You will not have the stock recovery. You won't need it

Did you disable signature verification? Do that and try. If that doesn't work either you can use fastboot to install recovery, which will 100%.
Follow these steps :
1.USB drivers for your phone must be installed on a computer.
2.Android SDK must be installed on your computer.
3.Your phone must be connected to your computer via USB.
4.The ADB and Fastboot drivers must be pasted into the folder where Android SDK is installed.
5.Navigate to the Android SDK folder,press shift and Right Click, select the Open Command Window here option.
6.Then type the following after your phone is recognized by cmd.In most cases it is.(Type this command to start fastboot : "adb reboot bootloader" and then "fastboot devices")
7.After that type the following : fastboot devices
And then : fastboot flash recovery FILE.ZIP
8.And you are done Open your custom recovery with the key combination used to open your stock recovery.
Let me know if it worked.

CWM.zip is what you will input. The name of the CWM.zip should match the command. Or you will need to change the zip file name to CWM.zip if it is named something else
