Hey guys,
The good news i wanna notice for everybody here is my X10 Mini Pro with lastest firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6 can Root + xRecovery + JIT and use Link2SD okay without any errors !
I will tutorial you to do that. Now lets begin !
Root : Automate Installation
1. Download attached file "SuperOneClick".
2. Enable "USB Debug".
3. Connect phone to "PC" and select "Charge Phone".
4. Open "SuperOneClick" and select "Root".
5. Wait!
6. When it is done, reboot.
xRecovery : Manual Installation
- Phone must be rooted
- Download and install Titanium Backup. Run it and press Problems to install busybox or you can install standalone busybox in market !
- Download attached file and unpack the recovery package in to sdcard
- Use Root Explorer to remount /system rw
- Copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder
- Chmod 777 for 3 files copied !
How to use xRecovery :
- Reboot your phone !
- Press BACK button few times right after white SE logo appears.
- Use VOLUME-UP and VOLUME-DOWN to browse, HOME to select, BACK to go back.
JIT : Here is manual installation. Automatic Installer here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951274
I'm strongly recommend to backup with xRecovery before install JIT !
- Download attached file !
- Go to market place and find app "Terminal Emulator" download and install it.
- Extract and copy to sdcard
- Use root explorer to remount /system rw
- Copy dalvikvm,dexopt,logcat in sdcard to /system/bin/
- CHMOD 755 for 3 files copied!
- Copy libdvm.so,libnativehelper.so,libcutils.so,libdl.so,liblog.so,libm.so,libz.so in sdcard to /system/lib/
- CHMOD 644 for 7 files copied!
- Copy build.prop in sdcard to /system/ (You can use your build.prob file. Please see Warning section below)
- Chmod 666 for build.prop !
- Go to /data/dalvik-cache/ and remove all file in it or use command rm -r /data/dalvik-cache/* or we can use xRecovery and choose Advanced Options > Wipe dalvik cached
- Reboot your phone and enjoy !
- To check it work or not run Terminal Emulator and type dalvikvm -k if you see "Configured with: debugger profiler jit show_exception=1. It's mean JIT has been working !
Warning : if your phone cannot reboot again please use xRecovery to restore backup file (if not backup yet you can use SEUS to reflash your device) and JIT again with your build.prop file.
Follow these instructions:
- At the step copy build.prob above please use your build.prob instead my file provided and edit your file :
- Edit /system/build.prob with Root Explorer

Do you wipe all dalvik caches ?? and the first boot after install it's take about 5 minutes to rebuild all cache files. After that it's working perfectly. Try to reboot few times and plug off your battery first !
no need to use the modified superoneclick.
the original version 1.6.5 just fine in this firmware

help with xrecovery
hello guys,
just bought myself x10 mini pro and loving it so far. I have successfully rooted and have busy box and su permissions.
next, I followed the following steps for xrecovery but it does not seem to work for me.
Code:
xRecovery : Manual Installation
- Phone must be rooted
- Download and install Titanium Backup. Run it and press Problems to install busybox or you can install standalone busybox in market !
- Download attached file and unpack the recovery package in to sdcard
- Use Root Explorer to remount /system rw
- Copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder
- Chmod 777 for 3 files copied !
How to use xRecovery :
- Reboot your phone !
- Press BACK button few times right after white SE logo appears.
- Use VOLUME-UP and VOLUME-DOWN to browse, HOME to select, BACK to go back.
I have copied the 3 files using root explorer and mounting it rw and the permission set to 777. I have also checked the files/permission using adb shell.
I have then turn the phone off, turn it back on and press back < button on the sony ericsson logo but no matter how many times i press or hold the back button it does not take me into recovery menu.
Edit:
my bad, i did not copy over busybox and chargemon because the files were already there from rooting process.
anyone who has this trouble, make sure you copy all the three files to system/bin folder and set the permissions and it should be good.
Hi everyone,
I tried using a script which automated the install for the the custom recovery, but I started to get messages that it ran out of disk space (I can't link to the file due to my noob status). I probably should have come here first before using that script, but such as life..
I have no important data on the phone, if I lose it all that's ok.
It rebooted and my p500 waits with the following
"Fastboot mode started"
"udc_start()"
It also gives some info when USB is connected ie.
"- suspend -"
"- reset -"
Do I have a paperweight?
thanks and sorry for the newb post ..
edit: so I found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003790 and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
and have gotten it to the yellow emergency mode, not sure how to flash it from here though.

Hmmm. Well, should not matter? /recovery uses a separate partition. Perhaps you flashed a corrupt (incomplete) image?
well if u ever wish to install recovery just download rom manger from market (latest) and install recovery from rom manger option make sure u hav eusb debugging enabled. it works easy

Erm... reading all the posts about fastboot after using ROM Manager for this, I guess I would rather stick with the custom script using flash_image.

hmm, I'm not sure (when I dl'd the file I did compare the hash as per instructions). I used the following instructions:
manast.com/2011/05/07/how-to-install-custom-recovery-on-lg-optimus-one-p500
I then went into a terminal emulator, and ran "sh /sdcard/rf.sh". At that point the output of the script started to say "disk full" (and then it reboot into the fastboot prompt).

No idea about that script. Using flash_image and never had any issue with "disk full", frankly the message does not make sense. All you need is to copy the recovery image to SD and run as root:
Code:
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Done.

I'm getting permission denied when trying to use flash_image. Gingerbreak says the device is rooted, and the terminal does ask for superuser permission when i open it (su works in the terminal). I also tried chmod 755 flash_image but that didn't work either.
the permissions for flash_image are r-xr-x any thoughts ?
edit: apparently the sdcard is mounted with -noexecute ? So I tried copying flash_image to / but it's read only. Is there somewhere where I can execute this?
This rf.sh script seems most notorious, I too went into fastboot after that. Doktornotor's method worked (in fact I think he/she was the one who bailed me out back then as well).
If you got into fastboot, most probably you have a rooted phone.
To use flash_image you need to get the flash_image.sh on the root of your sd card. Search the forum for Amon-Ra custom recovery, and you shall find this file in that thread (it is required for Amon ra setup). Log in to your adb console, and use fastboot to push the new image in the recovery partition.
Unless your recovery.img or flash_image.sh is corrupted, it will work for sure.
Keep in mind, fastboot is a very powerfull tool, if you can access it, you're safe.
Cheers,
Alex
did you get out??
just flash stock firmware with kdz worked for me bro
Buddy,
You do not need to flash anything with KDZ. The ROM is fine nothing happened to it. All your issue is with the recovery being flashed wrongly for some reason.
I had the same issue just yesterday and I managed to flash the recovery through fastboot.
What you need to do is:
1. Install android SDK from Google.
2. Connect the phone while it is on fastboot.
3. If your windows does not find the fastboot drivers online, use the drivers in this link:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=39ZR16W1
4. extract the .zip file that you copied to your SD. The one that contains the recovery.
5. Copy the recover.img (or whatever the name of the .img file in the .zip file) to the folder inside the android sdk where fastboot.exe is located (I think its the tools folder)
6. Copy the adbwinapi.dll file from the android SDK\platform-tools\ to the folder containing fastboot.
7. issue the command (and replace recovery.img with the .img file name you have):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

I appreciate the information. When I'm in adb, su won't allow me to gain root access on the phone. The phone itself is rooted using gingerbreak though.

Thank NBetcher for this method!
It's great that we can root the offcial OTA this way, which is my more quickly than the one that requires goldcard and bunches of other stuffs. However, I know it's a bit too much but is it possible that we can have the rooted official Froyo version that we can flash anytime? Sometimes, I need a stable ROM but flashing the official version and then root it takes too much time. Just show me the way and I will try to do it myself if you don't have time. Thanks in advance

The OTA was released later and it's newer (update3 I think). I am just curious and want to play with is for a while. If there's no major difference among those, then I will use those Mod versions. Thanks.

The files need to be unzipped to the Platform-Tools folder in the android sdk directory. Look in the folder that the android sdk is installed in and you will find the platform-tools forlder.
Has this actually worked for anyone? Not getting anything telling me to press volume up. also do you do all of these steps with the phone on and booted?

Here is a complete guide for anyone interested in rooting the HTC Droid DNA. The insecure boot image, TWRP recovery, CWM recovery and SuperSU files used in this guide are not my own developments, and their developers have been credited in the end of this post.
I am only writing this as a newbie-friendly guide for everyone, and am providing my own SuperSU, su and busybox installer zip file that includes everything you need for full root.
Unlock the bootloader of your device by visiting the HTC bootloader unlock page. Warning: This will wipe your data.
UPDATE: Thanks to Verizon, the official bootloader unlocking method mentioned above no longer works. Please refer to this method for unlocking the bootloader.
Download ClockworkMod or TWRP recovery for the device and rename it to recovery.img (or keep the existing name and change recovery.img in the command below to that name).
Download the SuperSU and busybox package and put it on your SD card.
Put your phone into bootloader mode and connect it to your PC via USB.
On your computer, make sure you are in the folder where you downloaded the recovery file and use this command to flash the recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Finally, reboot your device into recovery, flash the SuperSU and busybox package and reboot your device.
You should now have root access.
Credits:
jcase for unlocking the bootloader after Verizon decided to lock it.
dsb9938 for sharing the CWM port and correcting me regarding my previously posted and now removed second method involving his insecure boot image
Dees_Troy for TWRP recovery.
utkanos for CWM port.
Chainfire for developing SuperSU
I have tried to credit everyone involved but if I have missed out on anyone, please do let me know.
thanks for the guide!
just one question though. when you say "Download the SuperSU and busybox package and put it on your SD card.", what do you mean exactly by SD card? doesn't the DNA not have a SD card? sorry if this is a dumb question. i've never rooted a phone before :/

This is why I did not publish my initial root method. Using a package and flashing in recovery is the only way to get files on /system without some really gnarly stuff.

Thanks for your response. =)
Based on my understanding (and my experience with Nexus devices), once you boot using an insecure boot image, you have full root access in ADB since it is running adbd as root on the device. You can then successfully write to the /system partition and the changes persist after reboot. While I can confirm that the above will work on any Nexus device as well as any similar device with an unlocked bootloader and fastboot access, I am not 100% sure if that's how it works on HTC devices that have the S-ON flag. Are you referring to S-ON devices in particular here?

Normally it does work that way. And I was very disappointed that it did not on this phone, as I made the kernel just for that reason.
I think there was an error in the coding where it tells unlock which partitions to remove write protection from. That, or they just wanna make our lives hard for some reason.
Either way, you cannot write to /system while the phone is booted normally without S-Off. Even as root.

Ah I see. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll remove the second method from my guide, since including that would be pointless if that's the case as you can now confirm.
So does this method work? Or not???Im confused with the last few posts. Thanks

You can't do any of this stuff without unlocking.
As of right now, it is working.

In command prompt, use the "cd" command. The easiest way to do this is to make a folder at the root of your hard drive (C:\) and place all files you need to flash in here e.g. "C:\android\" Then in command prompt, type in "cd .." and press enter until it displays "C:\". Then type (if you use the same name as the example) "cd android" and it will enter the folder "C:\android\" where you placed the files. Now you can continue with the rest of the guide.

Or if on Windows, simply: Do the following in folder where files are located.

Copy it to internal storage and make sure, that you write commands correctly.
Don't forget the unpack and don't forget the "su" before you try the "dd".

Yes, I'm sure I have not forgotten . It's safe to try putting the file on internal storage and see if it works well ? It would be the same command ?

You actually have to put it in internal storage with that command.

Installation:
1 - Unzip the file. E.g. using 7zip.
2 - Copy the extracted file to /sdcard on your phone.
3 - Start a shell using a terminal or ADB
4 - Get root rights: su
5 - Install the bootloader using dd
Says in the instructions must be copied to the SD , now I 'm confused.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok , you were right and I was able to unlock the bootloader. But now I have another problem , I flash the CWM.img with flashify, and when reboot the phone i got a green screen "TZ Crash - DemiGod Crash Handler" how i can fix it? thanks.

Can you boot up the phone? If yes, flash TWRP instead.
