Hello all,
I am VERY new to this and was reading a fair bit on forums etc before having a go. I really want to make my Desire X use more of its memory as its internal memory is just way to small....
I have the HTC Windroid universal tool.
I have successfully unlocked the phone (its shows unlocked on bootup)
I have then installed TWRP successfully.
I have also installed a new Kernel (NeXus) in an attempt to help.
The issue I have am having is when I used the "Gain Root" - Flash Superuser option, it ran OK and said installing (although on the phone it wouldn't access some cahces), but said it was done successfully. The SU App was then ont he phone, BUT when i ran the Root Checker app, it said the phone was NOT properly rooted. When I ran the SuperUser app it said the binary was out of date, but the install options both failed.
I have also tried to manually load the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip but that also didn't work?
My main (and only real object) is to get the phone so I can use more memory and run more apps etc, and possibly dump some bloat stuff I will never use, but i dont know how to continue without a successful root in place?
Any ideas? I have read around a lot but cant find a solution?

Try flashing the zip in this link http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ from recovery, I would advise you use the newer TWRP recovery (2.7.1) found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire-x/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-7-1-desire-x-t2830924 and infinityshooter's kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483489
Hope it helps... (Providing you're Desire X single sim)

OK progress report, I have uploaded the recovery img of TWRP with windroid tool fastboot. 2.7.1 now installed.
TWRP 2.7.1 looks much nicer..no grafix glitches.
installed the zip 1.94 SU you pointed me too.......
SuperSu then said it needed to update the binary when I ran the app on the phone, which I chose to do via TWRP.
Reboot completed via TWRP (all automatically)
SuperSu app then opened and seemed to work.
Rootchecker says: ROOTED!
WOOT! thanks a lot....
Now the question comes .. how do I get my Desire X to start using all its available memory eg SD car, and also how do I use priority access to get rid of default apps I never use?
PS I do appreciate the time you are taking to answer these questions!

Niceee, if you want to remove system apps (e.g. apps you don't use like teetr) then use titanium backup or root explorer, as far as extending memory (e.g. ram or internal memory) i don't think it's possible *Anyone who knows otherwise feel free to correct me*
I'm happy to help, as there were users ready to help me when i started.
plus: are you the guy that posted on the FB group about rooting and extending memory ?

Yeah I have Titanium backup installed now and will work through the rubbish non used apps....
As for Facebook, no that wasnt me...
By the way, I have Android 4.1.1. on the phone as stock.
Do you think its worthwhile upgrading it (somehow?) to Android 4.3? Will that be more efficient and save battery better, and be more optimised? Or will it be more bloated and cane my phone more?
Opinions please....
In fact will flashing a different ROM actually include an upgrade to a different base droid OS?

Hi All,
i have an issue - i installed custom ROM, custom kernel, all is working except root.
I have two root apps - superuser (standard) and one from ROM supersu. One came with ROM, and i flashed another (standard) just after flash (not sure why really)
So - I have two supersusers - bot don't have root... irony
Any suggestion how to fix that? Also, how should i delete superuser (standard) from system/app folder (without root apparently)?
Thanks all!
"This app cannot be uninstalled if it was installed with your ROM or root. If there is no uninstall option, it's because you placed it in /system/app, not me. It is impossible for an app to be installed in /system/app by the Play store. In fact, the entire /system partition is read only at runtime. The only way for an app to be placed in /system/app is via a rooting process (which usually installs Superuser), or by remounting the system partition as read/write and manually putting it there."
this is from the play store page. I guess you could try using root explorer to delete it but don't know if it will work
The more important question is why don't you have root? You have two root apps installed on a custom ROM. You should be able to run SuperSU and let it update the su binary. Then you can use ROM Toolbox or TB to remove Superuser.

That is a strange problem. Never had that issue. Some custom come with supersu already installed and don't require you to install super user from the market. In fact it dont make sense to download standard unless you have standard from Rom and want to add supersu for better root access. Try to reflash Rom first and see if that works. Don't install standard. If that don't work try another Rom.

That's already been suggested in the ROM thread on another site, but he seems to be trying to get around it without reinstalling the ROM. He said over there that he doesn't know why he installed SuperUser since the ROM came with another su app and neither do I. He should just go ahead and reflash the ROM.
For some reason this guy seems to want to do things differently from standard practices and then ask for help when it doesn't work. His latest post in the other thread was asking if he could flash the ROM after removing the kernel (boot.img)!
I'm not sure where he comes up with these ideas but he seems to be off doing his own thing even though he is new at this stuff. I'm not suggesting that you don't help him, but wanted you to be aware that he may be creating problems for himself.
ramjet73
Thanks for the heads up. Your right, it don't make sense to try something different if what we suggest to somebody has been a better and usually a full proof way of fixing a problem. But like you said if he wants to add to his own problems that's on him. Let's make this clear to him too since he is new. Nobody on this site or other sites are responsible if you blow up your device, your gf leaves you, or you burn down your house and get fired. :highfive:
Hello folks,
I'm at a loss currently.
I had rooted my stock .314 FW and installed XZDualRecovery.
All worked flawlessly, installing Busybox, using Titanium Backup, Adaway etc.
Now suddenly I discovered that I'm not able to remount /system read-write anymore! Root seems to work absolutely normal otherwise, it's just that if I try to remount (via ES File Explorer or manual terminal command), either nothing happens (ES File Explorer) or I get a "Permission denied" (terminal).
I absolutely don't have any idea what could be the cause of this!
And not being able to update the hosts file or doing any alterations of system files of course is a problem!
I had several rooted devices and never encountered this issue!
Any ideas??

I once had such a problem on my phone (SGS4), I was running CM with SuperUser.
Switching to SuperSU helped me back then, SU seemingly did not work correctly.
I guess you are using SuperSU on your stock ROM, so this is no option. But still I'd still assume that your problems are directly SuperSU-related...
Yes, I'm using SuperSu (current version: 2.01).
It's not possible to update to version 2.02.
EDIT!
Obviously the recovery is broken also! It's not possible to boot into recovery!
How do I repair that (and how can it be that the recovery is gone in the first place??)? Simply remove the files which are listed in the XZDualRecovery thread's uninstall instructions, then install normally?

Sorry, but I do not have any experience with the DualRecovery. I can only state that I do not have such issues with the recovery I use.
So perhaps your problems go away if you use the same one - I think this could be worth a try...
The problem, and that is one reason why I ask, is that recovery and system RW HAD worked! Flawlessly!
But now no more!
How can that be?
You don't need to answer anymore. I uninstalled Dual Recovery, then tried to install CWM. After that Android didn't start at all (Bootloop). Fed up, I wiped and installed from scratch
You probably just needed to run easy root again. I have to run it twice every time. Then I install the recovery from in Windows using the tool provided, then I flash the superuser update. Zip from the chainfire website. Probably overkill, but it's worked for me about 10 times on this device. Remember to turn off firewall and antivirus and run the installers as admin in Windows.
Disable HTC's write Protection for HTC Desire 816 Lollipop Stock 5.0.2
LOLLIPOP Only ! For KitKat visit xXminiWHOOPERxX's thread.
If you guys feel your Desire 816 is a little boring cause you gained no S-OFF and your System is still write Protected, then here ya go.
This Flashable ZIP will disable the write Protection.
Notes:
I've noticed that install_recovery.sh doesnt work on Desire 816 5.0.2 Kernel.
This ZIP will install the Universal init.D App which enables init.d Support.
The ZIP also include SELinux Mode Change, so it sets SELinux to Permissive (needed for Example for Viper4Android)
How To:
Recomended!
Rooted Desire 816 running Stock 5.0.2 Sense 6 with SuperSU v2.46! (Latest Stable i think)
1.Install ZIP via Recovery
2.Reboot and run Universal Initd App
3.Give root Access for App & Tick the Switch from OFF to ON.
4.Reboot again...Done.

Flar2 for Kernel
and all others i've forgot,

Thanks a ton !!!!
Thanks.
init.d is what was troubling me with stock lollipop. I had spent most of the day after updating attempting to install the resources needed to get Viper4Android working. I can't do without Viper. Busybox on Rails from google play did give me busybox though that alone didn't fix Viper. This seems like it would do it as it includes SELinux changer.
I couldn't get SeLinux mode changer on Google Play but it luckily it's listed in XDA DevDB downloads. I will be testing this zip in A while.
Also just in case people are having trouble with writing to externel storage locations (SD, USB) in lollipop, the KitKat SD fix app by NextApp worked (in CyanogenMod at least) when writing to usb failed in two file explorer apps.
As A side question, has anyone touched the two HTC WP files that appear on the root of ext_sd after update?

Thats right
init.d Support is not given through install_recovery.sh and for me the easyiest way was just an init.d appwhere you canhandle every script.
Viper4Android... seems to work only on Permissive SELinux mode else your music gonna stop/crash and i know how essential it is for most thats why i added the SELinux script.
In Developer options you also have to disable NUPlayer for V4A to run, i didnt made any changes on that as i thought thats your option.
Anyway glad you like it, youre always welcome.
Double-Post. Please delete because I can't seem to. Sorry.

SDFix hasn't worked very well for me. It either fails or doesn't give full read/write to all apps. After flashing this mod, running SDFix or editing /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml should re-enable full SD write permissions right? Losing the ability to do this is one of the few things I regret about upgrading.
*edited that* I was in CyanogenMod when SD Fix worked.

Thanks for responding. I'll patiently await the update. Two quick question: Will we still need to run SDFix for write protection be unlocked for the sdcard or are you adding that to the zip? If your adding it, will SDFix work properly with this mod flashed as it is now?

To get rid of Hands Free Activation you just need to delete the \system\priv-app\HtcOMADM_SPCS folder in twrp
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Mount System
3. Use the file explorer and navigate to \system\priv-app\HtcOMADM_SPCS
4. Press the tick in the bottom right
5. Select delete
6. Unmount System
7. Reboot phone.

Where are you getting this from? "C:\Users\Babar>C:\Users\Babar\Downloads\twrp.img"
Just google installing TWRP on M9 and you should get loads of guides. If the image you're getting is genuinely corrupt you're going to have to check your sources as the ones downloaded from the main twrp pages are usually fine.

Use caution. You can go thru batch settings, select remove all apps and then while in there, click deselect all. Then go thru and pick what you want to remove (EXTREME CAUTION you can remove an app or so that will require you to flash the rom again)
Other So Called "ROOT app remover" apps backup the app before you delete it and then decides for you if it should be reinstalled for you, and you cant delete them.

I recommended going into your settings. Apps. And just select the apps that are sprint related & force stop them, and then disable each app individually. After they are disabled clear the data & cache of each one. Then they'll no longer be displayed or asked to be updated. This is without having to install TwRp.

you can try kingo root but I have to warn you that you verify that the website you download from is legit and not a a phishing website Lord of the root apk is not infact root apk but malware.
if you are on anything which is Android 6 plus chances that this APK will not root your phone because of security enhancements in that case your only choice is to to find a TWRP recovery for your phone Google TWRP and your phone name number follow instructions to flash it most of the time putting your phone in fastboot and flashing the image does the job and after that you can install magisk which will root your phone .With the option magisk hide enable you can fool other apps that your phone is not rooted or you can disable the superuser or root completely within magisk manager and use as non rooted phone.

When you plug the phone / tablet to a computer you need to pull down from the top and look for Android System and something to do with USB / click this and choose Media Device or file transfer the PC should reconnect and make a sound. Now you should see all the folders in Internal storage and External storage (if you have a sdcard in the device)
make a folder on your pc and copy everything from the device to your pc
I personally use Google photos to keep those backed up and available on all my devices
Amazon Photos works just as well or you can even use both

Yeah I'll be using Google Photos from now on, it's just a bummer since I lost some pics I really cared about
Anyway, I've tried to copy, but I get an Unspecified Error
I don't understand
Edit: Ok, apparently the only folders I cannot copy are the Whatsapp and Android folders. I think I can just ignore them, since all the cached pics I want to recover are stored in the CloudDrive folder.
So, back to the root.
Is Kingo REALLY that malicious? I don't wanna risk any permanent damage on my phone (Android version 5.1)
And about TWRP: I got the app installed, but my device (CUN-L01) is not listed
kingo is not open source and when it and roots your phone it install some other bloatware app as well .As long as it's capable of rooting your phone go ahead and use it but make sure you to get rid of it after the diskdigger work is over
so yes something you may want to try
backup all your data photos call logs SMS etc , install kingo root app and get root { , if you want to keep permanent root then and at this stage you can download and install TWRP directly as a rooted user without going through the long drawn procedure of fast booting & once you have TWRP installed then replace your kingo app with your favourite root app and throw out kingo }
, do your diskdigger work and then un install kingo root app
there is a desktop and Android version both . the desktop version is supposed to be more powerful make sure you uninstall all the apps once your job is over also make sure that you are downloading the correct kingoapp because there are some of other 'viral' versions , that may install undesirable bloatware but will not roat
diskdigger alternative is phone paw you may want to try that as well I don't think that needs root it's PC based photo recovery software

If you put it that way, Kingo looks less meancing.
I'm not interested in a constantly rooted phone, just need it temporarily, so...
Sorry if I ask, but any of you have a reliable download link for Kingo? I really have no idea where should I look for a "safe" version.
Also, what do you mean by "make sure you uninstall all the apps once your job is over" ? Uninstalling Kingo is not enough?
there is a king root and there is the kingo root and I have not used both this crapwares for quite a long time I used them when I was on 4.x and rather new to this Android cynogen factory. At that time TWRP was a bit new and not every phone had a TWRP.
so I think I probably referred to kingroot and not kingo root
https://kingrootapp.net/
don't recollect but either or both of these apps also install some other bloatware apps that pretended to save your battery and show you how faster phone is charging ...whatever
uninstall all the apps that were installed after your 'root work' is over

The link you sent me redirects me to a certain Aptoide app
That's a good start :good:
Ok so, I'm not downloading anything from that link
Also, I keep reading awful things about this root method. Like it sends your email to some shady companies and such. I'm not even sure it will work with my phone, it may brick it.
So, I'll stick with TWRP
Can someone guide me?
Bump

First step unlock the bootload, on Huawei It's a pay service, check eBay or
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code
Second step you need a patched boot.img made with magisk. Most times you can get the stock boot.img from an OTA update.zip
Copy it to the phone and use magisk manager to install (patch) the stock file.
Now you copy the patched file to your PC fastboot folder.
Third and last step is to fastboot flash the patched boot img
The command is
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
Reboot and you have a rooted device

Here is how to do it
First things first, never use one click root apps! they install spyware and stuff, and they achieve root access in your phone by using vulnerabilities. The proper way to root it is the one by which you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery like twrp, I found a post here https://techelucid.com/root-huawei-y5-ii/ ,follow it and try to use magisk instead of supersu, its more updated and can hide your root access, you can use supersu it work too but some apps won't work with root access enabled, magisk can hide this. Both can give you root access

well it sounded like this person just wanted a one shot one time root and out method which is why I suggested King root if it works. afterwards all that crapwhere can be deleted.
the other option was also mentioned that is TWRP and magisk .bootloader unlocking need not always be paid service lot of things allowed here on how to unlock bootloader but first we have to make sure if his bootloader is locked or unlocked.
turn on developer settings and oem unlock switch if that is present that mean the bootloader is unlocked and in fact this step of buying a service to unlock bootloader is redundant
I was trying to keep the thread as simple as possible without going into the depth of all the under the hood methods but sound like after all ,all the mechanics have opened up the hood and now we are getting to the engine
whatever works .....it sounds like he's getting good help so wish him good luck

Can somebody help me out?
