Hello , I need a step by step guide , as jargon free as possible to root a HTC Hero(Tmobile version) on android 2.1 . I have tried the old 2009 Unlockr.com guide without results as well as numerous others.
Currently on 3 UK network.
Me too.
I can second the above!
here is how i rooted my hero on tmobile uk
first go into settings then click on the option applictions then click on on unknown source
go here on your http://theunlockr.com/down/UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk or here if that link does not work http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FJA3L8YZ you can do this on your phone
if you downloads on the computer plug your phone to your usb and mount it and then move the file you download to your phone
if you done it on your phone just go into downloads and click the file you just download and it should install
if you have done it a pc and have moved it onto your sdcard you need to download a file manager just go into the android market and type in astro file manager then find your you move the to and click on it then click on open app manager and then click install
after it finishes installing open the app and press root and your root
next go into the android market and type in rom manager install the free version
when it is opened press the flash clockworkmod recovery and then after it finishes flashing the recovery image press reboot into recovery then it will say are you sure you want to root into clockworkmod recovery click ok
now to are root and ready to install custom roms
hope this helps
I have same problem but the biggest one i cant download Rom manger on the phone dont know what to do
erm.... how would you install RomManager on an unrooted device?
I got the german T-Mobile G2 Touch [HTC Hero] with had stock android 2.1 with sense,
I needed to create a Goldcard (Tutorials out there) and then was able to use universal AndROOT to root the device... there is a tutorial in this forum, will post the link if i find it again, named something like "Complete Noobie guide to ROOT and install a custom ROM" or something, this in combination with the use of Goldcardtool (Program, to find on google ) worked like a charm
greets, Summoner
PS: Thx for pressing the "Thanks" button if i was able to help you
edit: Found Link!
look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
if that doesn't work out of the box, search for "HTC Hero T mobile Goldcard tool" or something like this on Google, there are tutorials and the program does the big work for you, you just need to put your sd card in pc, run the program, register to the opening website, receive the goldcard image via email, flash it to your sd card (program does for you), put card back in and continue wih the tutorial above

Hi, I've successfully rooted my phone. I have a Huawei Y200.it might be easier if you waited for OneClickRoot do be launched maybe they have the device listed for auto flashing that does everything for you.
OneClickRoot: ==> I can't post links sorry ..New User, please search on internet..
But anyway, here's the batch file I think I uploaded it..
So its easy once you root it, but WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL CLOCKWORK MODE AGAIN THROUGH ROM Manager OR ANY SOURCE. (this might bring you into bootloop)
follow steps to use the batch file...
1- You need to do this on your phone: Allow USB Debugging and STAY AWAKE Function, STOP fastboot mode. Now Install ADB Drivers when connecting phone into computer via usb and debugging mode is on (you'll see a drive usually green on your computer, check for "drivers" inside driver folders and install windows drivers.
2- You need to install Android SDK : ==> New User, Can't post links, Search Android SDK..
navigate to default download location: " C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools ", shift + right click inside the folder with nothing selected, and run command prompt from there. run following command "adb devices" and it should list a device number.
3- Now exctract the zip file in attachement and run these in order: -"adb.exe" then -"fastboot.exe" then -"root_v5.2.bat". It should say a succesfull message and ( as i remember) phone should reboot (if it states "reboot phone now" in cmd prompt). now you shoudl be rooted and see "SuperUser" application installed.
4- Check if you're properly rooted with a "rootchecker" market app. If App requested root access by SuperUser (ofcourse you'll tap Accept right?) and says you have proper root, you can now jump around and scream " I rooted my phone" like i did... You can now Install Link2sd app and enjoy free enternal storage since you've rooted your phone... Any Directions using Link2sd repost or you can search internet... One limitation is you can'r use swap (to increase your RAM ), and have to go through different ROM's. If rooted your phone succesfully please inform and on any questions about ROM switching...
Hi there.
The root process isn't so hard , bit the rom switch what would be important for me (not the method, i know that and i'we installed modified recovery its working...)
Went to hell and back @google to find any custom roms for this little fckr but besides the clean base rom and the ics por (whats not working for me) i could not find any other rom. Sorry my bad i have found one origonal stock rom too, bit besides theese do you know is there any other roms exists for u8655?
anyone try the above method?
is there anyone try the above method for English version?
An earlier version, on hungarian with english and german language included... worked perfect. Since 6 months.

This procedure is for CWM, not for root.The root phone you must copy superuser.signed 3.0.7 on memory card, and boot phone in cwm, and install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd card/superuser.signed3.0.7/yes, and reboot system now, when is proces for install zip over.Then your phone is rooted, you think because write ROOT_V5.0.2 it is for root-NO, this for install CWM.

Hi there
I did a research about this lock and i found a modified kernel what is capable of unlocking again the bootloader. (Claimed by the author, that it should solwe rhe issue)
Please tell me, since i did not upgraded the firmware due to the issue, could it be true?
Because i did not found any feedback from the users who tried it.
Can we count on another unlockibg method, or is this true that the bl can be unlocked via adb kerbel flash?
Thanks in advance.
I found an information on the german android-board
--> http://www.android-hilfe.de/huawei-ascend-y200-forum/414947-b898.html#post5670959
Fuchsteufel told us, that the recovery is working, but only with adb-commands, without any screen.
The solution is to flash an new version of the kernel and the cwm

Hello,
I have a Prestigio MultiPad 9.7 PRO tablet that I got for free. The device itself is not bad, but it could do so much more if it had root access. The tablet is not so popular, so there aren't any tutorials on the web. That is why I'm asking for help here.
The device is getting updates via the OTA Service app. It downloads a system.img file onto the SD card, and then it asks me if I want to install it. Now, I'm asking is there some way to "inject" SU and BusyBox into the IMG file, and then install it.
Any help will be grateful.
Hi! :laugh:
I rooted this tablet with a modified rom, you can find it here
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17482271/PMP5097CPRO_V1.0.3_20120418.rar)
But it is "only" version 1.03 which is rooted but t works flawlessly. Decomress the .zip file and rename the file to "update.img" and put it directly on your internal sd card of the tablet and restart it. It will ask for an update. You will get a rooted rom v1.03 without loosing any data. When you update to the latest firmware you will loose root. Tried by myself. I also tried to modify v.1.06 and to implement Superuser & Co but without success. I am a totally noob in linux .

Dummy guide
Hi all,
Yes its me the lazy one ha not really i work hard at other stuff
I need a complete dummy guide on upgrading and rooting a pretigio multipad 5097CPRO I have been asked to do this for a friend whos sole purpose of getting this done is to be able to download a 4OD app to play for his kids,
I never use these tablets however i am a linux sys admin and fairly computer literate so i can be thought
Any takers on this one
Cheers,

after looking at numerous threads and advice, it seems quite complicated to install a simple fn app, which by definition, is supposed to be easy,
why firefox doesn't have it, considering that most stuff is only available on itunes or google store these days, is beyound me.
Even more so that i thought that the dual core would a) let me run ffos or android ie via easy restart mode,
and b) android would have the google store app.
so. how do i get this on. some ppl seem to be able, and there explanation is: its complicated.
fair enough. i hope you will help me and others to work through this. An explanation for dummies.
this is the best post i'v seen so far.

ok, so tried installing two other adb programs, http://www.rockchipfirmware.com/sites/tntfiles/PDAnet-64bit.zip
and while neither where completely successful, they did manage to allow adb to access phone,
and for the commands to have determined affects, so have moved on to Upgrade tool, which does not recognize device, thoughts? help?
Hi darth lotus,
To install google play store, you need to be able to write to the system file system, to do this you would either need to root and push google apps (gapps) via adb, or replace the stock recovery with a custom recovery which will allow you flash .zips that are not signed by ZTE.
Installing clockworkmod recovery, for example would allow you to do this,
There are examples of clockwork recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/firefox-os/general/zte-c-roms-cw-recovery-50-t2806173 and here http://www.modaco.com/topic/373213-recovery-clockworkmod-6050-for-zte-open-c-kis-3/
And TWRP recovery here http://www.modaco.com/topic/373288-recovery-twrp-2710-for-zte-open-c-kis-3/
The second clockwork and the twrp recovery are by a developer named Konstat who has uploaded all his sources to github https://github.com/KonstaT/android_device_zte_kis3
Konstat has also started work on getting a stable version of Cyanogenmod 11 on the ZTE Open C, please see here http://www.modaco.com/topic/373214-devrom149-cyanogenmod-11-android-444-for-zte-open-c-kis-3/
I apologise for linking to a different website but until we can ask xda to create a zte open c forum, I do not really have an option :crying:
Goodday,
I have been looking into rooting my android device for over a week now and was still not able to find how it can be done for an unidentified tablet.
I have an Allwinner T8 tablet (headunit) that runs oreo 8.1.0, theres no info availlable on this unit whatsoever, all i have is a detailled system information gathered by root checker, i can post the detaills if its required.
I've managed to make a full backup of my device using the adb backup command incase something goes wrong it can be reverted easily.
No custom recovery option availlable to flash.
Is it possible to root my device using the supersu zip without a custom recovery for example with adb using the command "adb flash"?
The most usefull guide for my situation i have come across is the magisk manager installation guide: ht tps://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
This method requires me to have the stock boot image from my device, seeing i don't have root and cant just copy that file, where exactly can i find this file(whats the path to it)?
Is it possible to use adb command "adb root; adb pull ... " to retrieve this file? If not how can i get my hands on this file?
Please help me, i have spend many houres searching google and watching videos but all of wich are the easy methods that don't work for my tablet or require root or a custom recovery wich i cant install... pretty frustrating...
I think magisk manager is the only correct way to go for my problem
Also, if i remount my system or root with read&write rights using adb shell, is that the same as rooting my device?
if i can read and write into the system directory on my device then i should be set.
So what exactly is the diffrence between rooting my device and remounting my device/system as read/write?
anyone??
