First off newbie alert,
i actually did root my xperia mini last year but its been a year and i have forgotten completely about it.
I am facing continuous restarts so i am looking to root my phone. I also want to get rid of sense (but thats after rooting, right?)
Please refer me to some easy guide( guides on xda are mind boggling) or tell me manually about it..
i came across this one click root method too but i am suspicious as i WOULDN'T want to BRICK my device.
My software versions are,
ICS OPERATING SYSTEM
CID- HTC_038 (INDIA)
SOFTWARE NUM. - 1.18.720.3
SDK API LEVEL - 4.24
HTC EXTENSION VERSION - HTCEXTENSION_403_1_GA_24
KERNEL - [email protected]#1 SMP PREEMPT
baseband version - 10.21.40.06U_1.12.40.03
Again i don't know much about these numbers except for software version..
Thank you

First update to latest software. If there are still continuous restarts, then I woultd teke the phone to htc service.
after you fix your phone, you can start rooting your phone. there is no one click root method for desire x.
I used this guide for my first root
Before you update have a look at any apps you've installed lately because that could be causing it or any files you've changed on your phone, if you have then consider restoring the original file or returning to factory, i had a similar issue when i used a rooting method from Youtube which turned out to be for a much older device.

If you think that problem is software related then wait for jb update.

I take it you are unable to root device with build number 10? My understanding is that builds 8 and up are unable to root as Sony blocked Djrbliss root method. I know Nesquick95 emailed asking for assistance in rooting unrootable builds. As of now there is not a way to downgrade your build. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Right, it seems to be actually no way for rooting the #10 kernel. This is a hard thing to do, even harder for our well-protected tablet.
I don't expect that much of my mail to M. Rosenberg. He's a busy man and has no obvious reason for spending time on that rooting work except (maybe) the challenging one.
We will probably have to wait until ICS arrives on the Tablet S... There will be much more users and devs involved in ICS rooting process than in tablet-specific Honeycomb.
thank u guys
I am also interested in it
I bought a tablet from china..It doesn't have even Android market..Now i am using 3 party downloaders..But my version is 10. So I cannot root also...
yeah i didnt do all my research before the rooting and i kept wondering why the exploit wouldnt work. finally looked alittle more into it and realized i have build 9 -facepalm-
So i just bought my tablet yesterday and i didnt update it. well i updated everything just now and now i have build 10! i remember reading on the djrbliss forum about build 10 downgrading somehow so ill look into it alittle more and keep you guys posted.
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------
omg mine downgraded also! i installed my final update and i checked the kernal....it went back to build 5 #1 so here goes nothing!
well..you're the third that had this...maybe sony rolled out a background downgrade for some unknown reason??? but why...
If you came here you said stop to fashion such as "<yupi> <yupi> i have ice cream sandwitch". This phone is too weak for this versions (screeen, ram, cpu) and you just figured out your xperia u working best on GB versions. Stop stiring around its possible or not in locked bootloader to root or not for 19 VIII 2013 still no chances to unlock in direct way. Bin4ry made tool for ICS so read appopriate topic (jump up software then downgrade)

Yeah, we know but GB is not so much customizable. Also, you don't need to suggest everyone in this way because developers are currently modding the ICS fw so it us disrespectful. Everyone has their choices.

So what's ur.point?
Sent from my ST25i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
point is to show 'clear' kernels (only root ,no addictional options or fixes) which are made for 3.184 from this sorry word word ' mess ' - try to find something in search bar " xperia u root " "st25 kernel" "3.184 root" or other possibilities.
i found to two this day - one which they say you have to use on 3.184 but really kernel represents 1.564
second broken also represents 1.564
so none actually kernel represents 3.184
loaded "ST25i_6.0.B.3.184_Generic_World.ftf" and in orginal shows Phone Software Version: 1254-3522_6.0.B.3.184
and i want to save new people from getting streessed why their phone loosing signal

Please be a bit clear in expressing your viewpoint so we can understand it. And actually, this thread seems pointless. I request the Mods to please take over (Cannot seem to find report button on XDA Mobile app)

Hello, I 2 years ago I was playing a lot with putting different ROM's on my HD2. However, now I can not remember sh*t about how was it happening.
I can't even remember what exact ROM I am using, so I have no idea how to update.
What I know is
Android version 2.3.6
Build Number : GRK39F (NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.1 a NAND)
Kernel version 2.6.32.15_tytung_r12-ga11a1a8 [email protected] #112
Can you tell me something that can be of help? I don't need to be guided like a small child through the process, but at least some general guidance to get me going
Thank you much!
Regards, Droiders!
I just bought a Lenovo A850 Clone from china (aliexpress). It's model is lenovoa850c
aliexpress.com/snapshot/6008093008.html
(Please, let's not discuss if it's a good phone or not. It's irrelevant and will spoil the thread)
(Note that the Original Lenovo has a 5.5" screen, and the clone has only 5")
I don't like the Default ROM, so I want to install a new one. Of course, this phone has none that I could find.
My phone is already rooted, and CWM (Clockworkmod) is already flashed in as recovery boot.
I tried installing a ROM for the original Lenovo 850, but the phone never booted (the jellybean android boy popped up infinitely)
- What do you suggest?
- Do you know any compatible ROM?
- Should I try other Lenovo 850 ROMs?
----------------------------------------
Hardware : MT6572 (MT6589 is Fake!)
Model : lenovoA850c
Build number : ALPS.JB3.MP.V1.6
Build date UTC : 20130928-154238
Android v : 4.2.2
Baseband v: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V4.P1, 2013/08/23 14:18
Kernel v : 3.4.5 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Sat Sep 28 23:40:38 HKT 2013
Uboot build v : -----
LCD Driver IC : 1-otm9605a_dsi_vdo_lcm_drv
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks
Anyone? I have a new phone waiting to be sensually touched by me, but I need the ROM!
I've tried with Goo Manager, and it didn't return compatible roms.
I've searches a lot online, and couldn't find it either.
How can I find the most compatible one? What should I compare to find a possible match?
What hardware information is important?
Bump for me. I need a ROM
Have you tried with CyanogenMod ?
Hi. I recently aquired this phone and i hardly need a new rom. It always has full ram memory used, the touch feedback is not that nice and the sound is very low, specially when using earphones. I couldn't find any rom, not even cyanogen. Not know how hard it is to make one, but we can try team up and build some.
Thanks.
Also, any other forum opened for the A850c?

Your issue is that clone devices do not release the kernel source for it so no custom ROMs.

I see. But isn't there any way to find that kernel, or use an existing one? I find the processor on this phone pretty popular.

No each device has specific kernel files. Without the proper source code you are out of luck.
The processor is only popular on China based devices. None of the big names use it.
Then you get into needing to build a recovery for it.

It sounds like I didn't pick such a good phone. Thus i saw a lot of mods for the A850 model. Not sure if there is the same processor, but couldn't that kernel work? I'm able to involve some time in this, but my knowledge about kernels and mobile software is not much.
I kinda find this phone pretty popular, but it seems like i'm wrong. Could you guys tell me if I should sell my new A850c and buy sth similar at the same price but more popular? I really need a clean and optimized rom on my phone to use it a it's maximum perfomance. And the touch feedback is killing me. Try play dots on this phone if you have it. It annoys you.
Another problem appeared. The GPS is not working and i really need it. After some research i found out that "they only provide location in China". Is there anything i can do? Even some fake coordinates would help me.
Thanks.
Hi. Can someone with the rooted phone send me a back-ul with all rom's included apps? I removed a lot of them and lost the back-up. Now i've reseted the phone and i really need the default apps.
Hello! I am one of many of the SCH-R530(X) users and I would like to upgrade to the best available ROM Kernel & Firmware for my device. I am unsure of what carrier it is on, the device does not have active service, and I bought it for $20 USD about a year or so ago
There currently is no SD card installed but I do have 16GB internal - it is running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with developers options enabled -
I'm running Baseband Version R530XWWUBMK4 with build number JSS15J.530XWWUBMK4

Now that the nitty/gritty is posted above, I would like to figure out the easiest way to get this ROOTED and have it completely up to date! If I can get Android Pay working with the NFC reader that would be stupendous! I almost installed a malware riddled version of towelroot 4.3 from one of the similar threads, seems this device has been deprecated for a few years now, however I loved the S3 and personally owned an SCH-I535 which lasted me for a good year and a half, unfortunately a friend has taken this device, and installed the guts into another phone for his dad.
I'd like to get this up to date, and try some new apps on it. Any recommendations, or information pertaining to my model would be certainly useful!
Thanks so much XDA and I hope to get some responses!

Your phone appears to be very similary to the i747.
You can probably flash ROMs from that device.
You will get better replies if you posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-all

Download Kingoroot for pc and install it.
Enable USB debugging on your phone and connect it to your pc using a USB cable.
Connect your pc to internet.
Open Kingoroot, it will detect your phone automatically.
Click the root button and wait for the process to complete.

Is there a safer alternative? I have heard that KingRoot may contain adware/spyware and that's the last thing I need. I'd also like some instructions/information as to perhaps the latest ROM, hopefully working with Android Pay (I know it's possible!)

Not KingRoot but Kingoroot. Both are different.
I've found a cheap alternative solution to broadcast FM radio to bluetooth headsets. Here is the Link
