HOW TO ROOT HTC Rezound

HOW TO ROOT HTC Rezound

Video tutorial

I've spent pretty much all day on this and wanted to get it out as soon as possible. There have been a lot of scripts floating around there that have a lot of great features, but not one that single-handedly did everything I wanted for my specific Rezound. Therefore, I've developed rEZoundRoot to help make the Rezound rooting process a little easier.

All you have to do is download the .zip file and extract it to somewhere on your hard drive. Then, copy your unique Unlock_code.bin that you obtained previously into the /tools/ folder and run the script. Follow the instructions and you're good to go!

UPDATE 1/4/2011: Fixed some typos, changed the recovery to install Amon Ra instead of Clockwork Mod, and fixed an issue where adb did not wait for the device before pushing ZergRush... Sorry for those who were having issues with getting root from the script.

UPDATE 1/31/2012: Actually added the Amon Ra recovery.img to the package. Previously had overlooked this and it was still installing the old version of Clockwork Mod.

UPDATE 3/5/2012: Updated to version 1.5 in order to reflect the most recent rooting process. Got rid of the Zerg Rush method because it's pretty much irrelevant now. Allows for either temp or perm pushing of Amon Ra recovery, which allows for the pushing of Superuser and SU per the provided instructions. Eventually I'd like to include the stock RUU in order to get those of us who didn't grab the OTA download all set up, but for right now I'm leaving it out to cut down on size. As always, leave questions in the comments. By the way... In case you haven't noticed by now, the text in the screenshot is red. The text in the actual program is blue. I'm not color blind, I'm just too lazy to update the screenshot... But you already knew that, didn't you?

What is Android Rooting and its Advantages or Disadvantages?

What is Android Rooting and its Advantages or Disadvantages?

When we buy any phone, what are the things which we look for looks, application support, speed and of late the ROM too? Today we will know why it is becoming a necessity to root your swanky new phone, what are the benefits, advantages and also disadvantages of rooting. Rooting may sometimes be dangerous for your phone if not done properly; it can even make your device not usable which is just a word of caution. So, lets check it out, what is rooting?

What is rooting?
Rooting basically provides you the admin rights which allows you to gain access to the read only files which you are generally not allowed to edit. So, if you know Linux and you know what you are doing then you can just do anything in your phone, right from changing the user interface to unlocking the new level of potential, you can just do anything. This makes a great sense rather to a developer than a normal person. This is the most sensitive thing as when you are applying some changes to your phone keep in mind that they are correct as even a bit of a wrong can make turn your great phone to a brick, i mean useless.

This makes a great sense rather to a developer than a normal person. This is the most sensitive thing as when you are applying some changes to your phone keep in mind that they are correct as even a bit of a wrong can make turn your great phone to a brick, i mean useless.

What are the advantages?

The list of top 5 advantages is that if you are a developer, you can customize the user interface of your Android phone, with tools like cyanogen you can boost up the overall phone’s performance but that’s again quite a risky thing, you can also easily tether your Wi Fi or blue tooth with android’s Wi-Fi tether, you can also modify the on screen key board as its original on screen keyboard has some issues. There’s also an unofficial multi touch support on G1 which one can enable via rooting. Adding to the list, one can also unlock the bonus apps and can use widgets of other build.

Advantage ROM: Once you have cracked the boot loader and entered the root access, you can now install custom software into your android phone. Basically ROM stores your Operating system of the device. This is the place if any updates are received by your Android device then it gets stored here in ROM. You can also install the applications, like in Ultimate Droid handset a bugless beast v0.4 has been installed which is of Froyo build, its only possible by rooting. There are also several tools like ROM manager which helps make process of flashing of your phone much more easier than it looks to be.

Advantage Custom themes: the ultimate droid handset which we were just discussing about can also be loaded with new theme packages by using installers like meta morph or even by using SDK packages or also with ABD shell. Below, you can see that the first image the blacknotification bar and different dock icons on the bottom whereas the second picture is of a vanilla install of the Bug less beast v0.4 in which custom made icons have been installed with an all new battery symbol.

With so many advantages, there are disadvantages too,with android recovery tools like Nandroid and more, there’s not more you can recover things if anything goes wrong which in short makes things difficult as in an extreme it can make your phone unusable too.

How to Install Ice Cream Sandwich ROM on Motorola Droid X

Though released last year, the Motorola Droid X remains well-loved by those who own one. It was a popular phone during its time, although newer and more power Motorola phones have taken over its place. Can such an “old” phone still enjoy the latest and greatest release of Android? Apparently so.

Disappointed by the lack of developer attention to creating an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich build for the Motorola Droid X, a developer has decided to take matter into his own hands and whip up an ICS-based ROM for the Motorola Droid X. The ROM is called EncounterICS X and is a creation of firstEncounter, a member on the RootzWiki forums. The ROM is based on Android 4.0.1 and is still in continuous development, so there are still numerous rough edges.

For now, however, the following features are already working in the ROM:

• Radio, Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi
• 2D (hardware accelerated) and 3D (still somewhat buggy)
• Sensors (including rotation/accelerometer)
• Audio (DSP force closes rarely, but still works)
• SD Card
• All hardware buttons
• Charging
• USB (including SD mounting)

If you have the boldness for a hacking adventure and if you understand the risks involved, you can flash EncounterICS X ROM to your Motorola Droid X. You’re going to need to root your Droid X first. Check out “How to Root Your Droid X Running Android 2.3 Gingerbread” for some tips on how to do that. Thereafter, you can easily flash the ROM in recovery mode. As usual, make sure you make backups first before you try flashing the ROM to your phone.

1. Download EncounterICS X from here and save it to your computer.
2. Download the Google Apps package (gapps) from here and save it to your computer.
3. Copy the EncounterICS ROM and the Google Apps package to your phone’s storage.
4. Turn off your phone. Turn it back on again.
5. When the LED notification light turns blue while the phone is booting up, press the Volume Down key to go into the bootmenu. From the list of items on the menu, choose to go into recovery mode. You can use the volume keys to scroll through the options on the menu. Use the Power button to select an item on the menu.
6. When in recovery mode, you can use the volume keys to scroll through items, but instead of the Power button, use the camera shutter button to select an option.
7. Choose “Wipe data/factory reset” to clear your phone’s cache.
8. Choose “Install zip from SDcard”, then select the ZIP file containing the ROM. Once you confirm to start flashing, the process will immediately start. Repeat this step for the Google Apps package.
9. Wait for a few minutes for the flashing process to complete.
10. Reboot your phone. Your Motorola Droid X should now be running EncounterICS X based on Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich.

As has been mentioned, this ROM is still buggy, so don’t expect everything to work perfectly. There are several known bugs with workarounds. Here are some of the known bugs and their respective workarounds:

• ADB doesn’t work. Turn off the phone. Turn it back on again. While it is booting up, press the Volume Down key when the LED notification light turns blue. You will be taken to the bootmenu. From there, choose “Boot”, then select “2nd-init + adb” from the list. ADB should now work.
• SD doesn’t mount over USB. Open Terminal Emulator. Run “su” (without the quotes), then run “echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file” (also without the quotes). You can also issue the same commands via ADB.
• Gallery app force closes when gapps is installed. Simply disable the “Sync Google-photos” option for all of your accounts.
• Android Market doesn’t install apps. As root, issue the command “drmserver &” (without the quotes) in Terminal Emulator. Or, use ADB to issue the command “adb shell drmserver &” (again, without the quotes). The ROM developer has promised a fix for this bug in a newer version of the ROM.
• Feature XYZ doesn’t work even if the documentation says it does.  Try rebooting the phone.  Some settings and options will activate or stick only after rebooting.  Rebooting can also sometimes make a buggy feature work.

As you can see, installing this ROM to the Droid X is not for the faint of heart, nor will it be a breeze for those with no rooting or flashing experience. Have you tried putting ICS on your Droid X? How did it go?

How to Root the Samsung Galaxy R and Install ClockworkMod Recovery

For those of you who have a Samsung Galaxy R I9103 and have been wondering about how to root your device, look no further. Thanks to XDA Developers forum member legion1911, it’s now possible to flash ClockworkMod Recovery to the Galaxy R via Odin, and to root the Galaxy R by flashing Superuser from Recovery Mode. The process is quite easy, even for users who are completely new to tinkering with their Android devices.

“Rooting,” “getting root,” or “rooting your phone” is the process of modifying the operating system shipped with your device to grant you, the user, complete control over it. This means that you can overcome limitations that carriers and manufacturers put on your device, extend system functionality and even upgrade it to a custom flavor of Android.

Rooting takes only a few minutes, keeping your stock OS intact. After the process is completed, you can start installing custom ROMs and fully enjoying the functionality of your device.

Requirements

Before you begin, you’ll need a few things:

• Samsung USB Drivers installed. You can download the USB drivers for 32-bit Windows or64-bit Windows.
• ODIN downloaded and installed on your computer.
• Download the ClockWorkMod Recovery (4.0.0.2) package to your computer.
• Download the Superuser zip file to your computer.
• Make sure that your device has a charge of at least 70% to prevent it from shutting off in the middle of the rooting process.

Rooting the Samsung Galaxy R

Once you have all of the requirements, you may now proceed to the rooting process.

1. Extract the contents of the ClockworkMod Recovery package into a folder on your computer.  You will find two files: cwm.apk and cwm.tar.
2. Copy the Superuser ZIP file to the root of your phone’s SD card.
3. Launch Odin on your computer.
4. Under “Options” in Odin, make sure that “Repartition” isstyle=”text-decoration: underline;”>notchecked.

6. Choose the cwm.tar file which you extracted from the ClockworkMod package.
7. Turn off your phone.
8. Reboot it into download mode by holding down the Volume Down and Home buttons together, then pressing the Power button.
9. Once the phone is in download mode, connect your phone to your computer via the USB Cable.  You should see the device connected to Odin and the ID:COM field will turn yellow, indicating that the device has been recognized.
10. Hit the Start button in Odin.  The software will flash the recovery image and your phone will reboot.
11. Unplug your phone from the computer.
12. Turn off the phone and reboot into recovery. You can do this by holding down the Volume Up and the Home buttons as you turn the phone on. Let go of the Power button once you see the boot splash screen.
13. Once you’re inside recovery mode, make a Nandroid backup of your phone.
14. Then, navigate to “Install Zip from SD Card” and select “Choose zip from SD card”.
15. Select the Superuser zip that you copied to the phone earlier.
16. Once the file is flashed, reboot your device.
