Use the all in one tool to root. The method you're using is old.

I don't have a clue but my guess would be that your bootloader is to new for that tool to work. You'll need to use the revolutionary tool to root your device.

I used this method to root. Do you have HTC Sync or itunes downloaded on your computer? If so, they need to be deleted.
I also recommend using the new root tool by trter10.

Anyone root an android device with no volume controls?

There's a touch CWM you can try...
Really, which one?
The problem is, you can't boot to AVX with no volume controls.

If you meant to boot to recovery you can using adb or terminal emulator just type in
su
reboot recovery

There are numerous apps on the market for getting into your bootloader(if unlocked),and into recovery. Reboot for example, if your not familiar with the terminal or ADB.

Not a phone.. a tablet.. no name brand made buy an Asus company.

Oh, and to root a phone, please give the name of the phone your rooting, and the android version. Froyo, gingerbread....... take gingerbread for example,you could use gingerbreak. Other examples would be zerg,one click,as well as through ADB using the right files and place them in all the right places and setting correct permissions.

Usually rooting steps: temp root (e.g. SuperOneClick) --> flash recovery --> boot into recovery --> flash superuser.zip (su & Superuser.apk) --> reboot
I believe the recovery is platform specific, make sure you have recovery for your tablet.

Are you rooted now? What did the script say before busybox detected? su binary detected? Superuser detected?
Download BusyBox Installer it will tell you if a busybox is installed and what version it is.
Not rooted now, no root apps working. it detected super user, was going to overwrite everything except busybox.

alright lets take a manual look download root explorer lite it will work for the purposes that we need it for.
go into root explorer lite and navigate to /system/xbin and see if there is a file named busybox there (and also alot of other files like ] ]]) then navigate to /system/bin and see if the file su is there and finally navigate to /system/app and look for Superuser.apk.
did you try any other methods of root since the update?
retried aio, droid 3, and torpedo thru terminal. Ok, thanks for help.

cf-root is a primary root and I want to Install super user not super su and I want to root it fully.
Sounds like an odd reason.
Why not just flash a rooted 4.2.2 rom?
Anyway I don't know a file that used super user.

Back to 4.3

Hi everyone. Got this phone just a few days ago and updated it to 4.4 the next day. Sadly I didn't do any research before doing so and realized I can't transfer files to the memory card with 4.4. Is there a way to flash the older 4.3JB the easy way? Like the Samsung Odin way? The last time I had an HTC was with the One X and I did not do any tinkering with it. So please forgive my noobness. Or is there another way to have the old access to mem card without having to root? Thanks guys.

I have the vzw HTC one max it was rooted soff with NUsense six 4.4.2 rom installed. Well I left my phone laying on the table and went to the store and when I got back my son had it playing around with it. As soon as I walked through the front door he had this look on his face like OH SH$!. My little boy managed to wipe everything everything on my sd card is gone all of my backups everything. So now I'm stuck on the TWRP recovery screen I'm afraid to turn it off. I can still get to bootloader/hboot stuff. There's no OS installed on my phone. Man I don't know what I'm gonna do. I hope that you or someone can help me out here. Also it says that my max isn't rooted but it's still unlocked.

You can use adb to push a Rom to your phone in twrp I believe.
in Command Prompt,
type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends.

You have to root either way. You will need the weaksauce method of Firewater. You cannot downgrade unless s-off. There's an easy fix for your current Rom too.

Ok. So in twrp go to advanced and choose adb sideload. Swipe to enter sideload mode.
Put the Rom you would like to be running in your fastboot/adb directory. Open cmd prompt to that directory and issue the following command ..
Adb sideload nameofrom.zip
Of course using the actual name of your Rom zip instead of nameofrom.zip.

Just hit do not install. Get back the the advanced screen and sideload a rooted rom already.
Question, since I don't believe your kid story and want you to come clean so we can help you much faster....
Did you manually flash the firmware update today and this was the outcome?
Note...I'm not going to answer your pm.. Either come clean with what you did here and we will get it fixed up right way or stop asking for help and pm'ing other members.

I gave you instructions how. Sideload the last rom you were using with my instructions. You don't need a functioning SD card to do so. It will send the rom to your phone from your PC via USB and flash it for you.
