Hey all,
I've been trying now for hours trying to root my HTC One UK variant.. I've followed several YT videos but I always seem to get stuck at the ADB stage.. I have many games / apps / settings that I would not like to lose so I would like, if possible to be able to perform the whole process.
The problem arises when I enter CMD, I get one of 3 messages.. ADB Driver out of date (or similar) Device Offline, or Device Not Found.. I've tried a few ways to fix this including ADB Fixer, Uninstalling Sync Manager, downloading the toolkit (v3.1 and 3.1.2), using another USB port, updating drivers, etc and I still have no success. I might add that i'm using 4.3 version of android.
I have to admit, i'm in no way a "pro developer" but I fully understand the risks of carrying out such a process
Any help would be gratefully received..
Thanks in advance..
Rick
Anyone??
What you using to try and get root? Firewater is a good option.

I am trying to use 'adb' from the android dev kit but I cannot see the devices, i.e. 'adb devices' doesn't report any devices. It appeared to be working earlier this evening but not any more. I was going to push a rom file to my rooted phone but obviously since I no longer see the device I am stuck. I rooted yesterday and installed the maximus rom but my phone went into a loop of restarting. Unfortunately I didn't backup before I rooted and installed Maximus rom.
Can anybody offer any help? I am using Mac OSX.
Desperate since phone is now effectively redundant

Hi
Thanks for your reply, I have hit the 'Thanks' button
I read the posting you referenced but it doesn't really offer a solution to my problem.
As described earlier I rooted my phone and flashed a Rom (Maximus) succesfully but on turning the phone on after installing the new Rom I got into a cycle of the phone rebooting without actually getting past the lock screen. My thoughts at that stage were to re flash using stock rom but on running fastboot and plugging into my Mac OSX machine via USB, the phone doesn't show up in 'devices' on the Mac. I have also tried 'adb devices' form within Android Dev Tools and although 'adb' runs fine no device is reported. Of course without devices being avaialble to 'adb' then I cannot reflash!
I have also tried from within a bootcamp installation of 'Windows XP' installed on the mac with the same results, this with 'HTC Sync' installed and therefore providing the USB Drivers required within Windows.
I have tried logging into fastboot using 'power' and 'Down Volume' at various stages of the boot process on the phone but have never seen the phone within devices.
Clearly prior to installation of the Rom (Maximus) I could see devices at both the Finder window on the Mac and from adb devices.
Any help or insight you could provide would be very gratefully received
Ok ok ok dont worry
I had to read a bit and found quit much german threads where they flash back the stock rom
as is suggested u cant flash it with odin...
the only solution i woul suggest is that u have to find a computer running windows
there its very easy to restore the stock with the methods u described earlier in the thread...
hope u get done let me know what happend
=)
The question remains; how can I flash anything be it a hacked rom or an official rom when I cant see the 'device' in both windows and mac osx?
I think what I am looking for is a reason why the phone isn't seen when plugging in via USB. Once it is seen as a 'device' I will be able to flash anything via 'adb'.
Thank you for your continued interest and assistance
ok so u know how the get it back but ur phone is not really recognized by ur computer
but i found a method using the bootloader
the problem is that the instructions are in german
but i think if u google a bit u may find it
Don't know if I misunderstood what you said..but to get into recovery, you hold volume down and the power button when the phone is turned off. Not during the boot process.
Yes you can do it with bootloader (power+volume down)

Yes, I know that. He said he attempted to do that DURING the boot process. I was stating that he had to do it while the phone was powered down.
Guys, I can get into recovery no problem. The issue is that my phone doesn't show up in devices on the mac finder window and hence when I run 'ADB Devices' from the mac when the phone is plugged into the mac with USB no device is found and so no serial number is reported in my terminal window on the mac. If I can get to see the device with 'ADB' I can push the rom and recover the phone. At the moment the phone is bricked.
Thanks guys for your continued assistance.

Hello
I cant find any tutorial describing OT-903 anywhere, can anyone repost any if it's possible? the more newbie-friendly guide the better.
Cant find any info about this phone:/
Thank you
apparently some people have had luck with gingerbreak, none for me sadly I'm still looking for a way
Had the same problem with another phone.Will try this on the ot 903 if i menage to find a rom for it.I can name some programs for rooting but i haven't tried them for this phone so i dont know if they work.OneClick,Android toolbox pro and Z4root(the last one is an apk.You have to have the drivers installed for any of this to work (Exept for the last one)including the adb drivers.If you do this you are doing it on your own risk.It may brick your phone if not done properly. Im not responsible if anything happens.Good luck
Already tired the last one without success just so people know

Google search for ERoot windows executable, it's in chinese but the "root" button is english, I had root within 30 seconds. Just ensure drivers are installed, usb debugging on, etc, and hit root button!
Hi all.
Iv been having a hell of a time with rooting my One X Plus.
Iv tried all sorts of methods as described on these forums and other alike.
I just cant get any rooting to work.
I though with the Root Kit by Hasson2000 id be good to go even for a noob like me, although i have rooted a galaxy before.
My issue is that the Kit doenst seem to "talk" to my phone.
I have ADB enabled on my phone but none of the commands in the kit actualy run. i get no CMD popup running either as can be seen in videos online so i assume my issue is somewhere at square one.....?
The "install HTC drivers" option doesnt even work with this software so im really at a loss with this one.
Any help would be great.
All i wish to do is root to enable use of nandroid.
I have already unlocked the bootloader by the way, i did so via HTCs Dev site and using CMD as the Hasoon2000 kit would even let me do this part:S
thanks in advance.

Hey SuperSho4,
I'm afraid you need to give a little more information what exactly you are doing, i.e. which software you are using etc. Do you see your phone in lsusb?
I'm using Ubuntu and the latest adb, and I have to be root on my computer for adb to work and find my phone.
You also may try another way of rooting, e.g. I used UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk to do that, which you can transfer to your SD-Card and then select for installation with probably any File Browser, (just make sure that you enabled "other software sources").
For me. there's was a quirk in that method: Using the default settings, UniversalAndroot only claimed to successfully get root-access, but left everything unchanged! Only after finding a comment on some website did I try to check both check-boxes (log and temporary install) - this time it worked (it installs yet another app called SuperUser)! (I then ran it again without the temporary setting enabled, which at least did not revoke the SuperUser-Account).
Good luck!
I bought a Coolpad Arise (edit: Model 5560S) today at Kroger for $10 (and got 500 fuel points doing so). This phone blew me away. The proc, and gpu are better than I expected, it runs 4.4.2, and it has an SD card slot. Now to the issue:
I've been trying to get root on the device but haven't had any luck. Towel(with multiple modstrings) and Kingo didn't do anything. I'm ready to take the next step. I'm an Android developer and feel like I should help get root on this phone. I've tried to emulate the asec venerabilities to no avail. Is anyone else interested in rooting the arise? I'm not sure where to go from here but would like to have root since the stock os seams to be 99% aosp.
Pointers would also be greatly appreciated.
I'm no Dev but would love root as well. Bought 2 last night for stocking suffers for my kids. As you said you can't beat this for 10 bucks. And BTW I got 1000 points which surprised me figured I'd only get 500 for the initial, and considering I usually fill up with 20 plus gallons this phone literally was free with the discount I'll get! Thinking of going to get a third now!
Root would be great
There must be a LOT of these out there with the recent sale(s) on this model.
I'm impatiently waiting for this thread to get some action. I've tried everything. Even some Chinese program called permroot.apk that apparently works with coolpads, but I had no idea what I was doing since I can't read Chinese.

Do you have the drivers yet? Couldn't you just unlock the bootloader and load TWRP and an AOKP image that's rooted already?
Just got the arise to play around with. Still can't root device.

I still haven't been able to get root.. I went out and bought another one thinking that the system update might have locked something down (still couldn't root). Since I have second one, I'm going to try some more invasive options.
CoolPad Arise Needs Root Quick
I have recently recieved the coolpad arise and really want to figure out a way to root it. So thats why i have joined this forum thread. XD
Found this by accident, maybe it'll help get root... if you remove the coolpad battery, and plug in a usb data cable from your computer to the phone, the coolpad screen lights up and says "fastboot mode". I tried some of the usual fastboot commands, ie, oem unlock, but nothing happened, it says "waiting for device".
I bought two more of these the other day (today might be the last day for the sale so stock up).
Also found this thread: [Q] Coolpad 5560s - MegaThread: Info/Rooting??
I bought 4 of them, if I wanted there is 1 more there at the store still, lol
try using google translator i use it for that purpose xD

Unroot?
I rooted my coolpad 5560s and now the notifications and screenlock aren't working so i was wondering if there is a way you could unroot.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Successful root
:laugh: I successfully rooted my coolpad arise after multiple attempts with different software. iRoot, Towelroot, vRoot, OneClickRoot, Chainfire's Root App, and Kingoroot all failed.
Someone made a root toolkit for the coolpad arise, but it failed.
I tried exploit apps to try to get root privs. They didn't work.
I then used Root Genius on a computer and successfully got root.
Do not take any updates before or after you root, because you might not be able to root.
To root enable adb on the phone by going to settings > About Device > and tap build number several times until you get confirmation that you're a dev.
Run root genius, and plug in the phone. Click the root button. If phone prompts to allow the pc access, allow it. It will root the device. You must have a good oem cable and good usb port when rooting. If root fails try again on a different pc or with a different cable. Also while rooting you need internet.
I would recommend deleting the touchpal keyboard and freezing log2file and system updates.

Will this Root Genius work with Scratch Wireless ROM? After I root, can I make a ROM dump and backup the Scratch Wireless ROM?
Oh Crap! Now I'm sort of bricked!
I was starting to get some instability (probably due to many device tweaks and the device being almost full, not from Root Genius) on my phone and I went to flash it back to stock for a re-root. This time I gave the root package another try (it didn't work for me the first time perhaps because of maybe some .net framework issues). This time it worked after powering on I followed the instructions and I went through and checked if every app worked. The browser and camera default apps did not work at all. They would open and force close. So, I decided to retry to root toolkit and my device never got pass the "Powered By Android" screen and it wouldn't boot into stock recovery. So I used the Coolpad Official Flash Tools (YGDP) and flash it back to stock. The device didn't work either. I would get the same screen and I was unable to boot into stock recovery.
Please help as I use this device as my everyday device, app dev device, and at my college classes. It is also my primary source for accessing the internet (I use the hotspot often).
Phew, got it fixed by flashing the original stock rom with the company tools.
