Guest grogers3.14 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 damnsmalidan: You need to have adb and fastboot working first, which means modifying android udev rules for the PC to recognise the new device and installing and configuring usb_modeswitch. What are the udev rules for this device? I have SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1034", MODE="0666" and run usb_modeswitch to get the right product id (details here) and adb devices still does not list it.

Guest Jerry786 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi no it will not get rid of the t-mobile stuff and yes there are problems with usb mounting also the superuser app is very old. If you read my post above there is no usb problems but if you wipe you will need to redo steps to kepp rooted or i have just found a new way what sticks. step 1 install superboot dont unplug usb reboot when installled step 2 boot clockwork recovery via fast boot remember dont install clock work or usb problem is back just boot it via fastboot download the su-2.3.3 update.zip and place in your sdcard when you have booted clockwork select install update.zip from sdcard when done reboot backinto bootloader and flash the orig-bootloader attached abouv now you have the latest su-2.3.3 and now go into your settings and do a master reset. Thats it this way you will have stock all but rooted with the latest superuser app and no usb probs also it will stick when you master reset. Thanks. Might give it a go..but i dont know if its worth it. Will rooting and installing a custom ROM make the phone any faster? Also, if i root and install ROM, will it wipe erase all data?

Rooting will not wipe data but installing a rom will most custom roms are faster what i would do is root the method i told you and then make your own update.zip with all extra apps and changes then flash it on stock rom.

Guest jasonXXx Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) tried rooting but hangs at waiting for device....... Ok scrap all of above lots of what i sead is not needed. To start make sure your on stock rom with default bootloader and recovery make sure you have the su update.zip link http://android.modaco.com/index.php?act=at...st&id=61279 in the root of your sdcard. Link to clockwork recovery put this in the same folder as fastboot http://android.modaco.com/index.php?act=at...st&id=61280 Step 1 boot to bootloader mode by powering off the phone and then pressing redkey and volume down plus power button at the same time for 5 secs then open command shell on windows and type fastboot boot clockwork_recovery_v1.8.1.4.img then press enter and wait for recovery to boot then select install update.zip from sd and select the update.zip attached above and that will flash super user and root your phone. Then reboot. Thats it you will then be rooted with no problems with the latest superuser app and su it will also stick on master reset. Tested and working with no problems. There are other ways of rooting like superboot but then come usb problems this way you will have stock recovery as we only boot CLOCKWORK not flash it and we have stock bootloader as we did not use superboot also the lates version of superuser/su. Hope this helps Edited August 26, 2010 by jasonXXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest albertfc Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 How do I ddo this? For those ones using linux, you have to set up a new udev rule to recognize the device on bootloader mode. On ubuntu 10.04 try this Type the following into a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal): gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules [/codebox]Now add the following line to the blank file:[codebox] SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"Click save and close.To restart udev, open up a terminal and enter: sudo service udev restart [/codebox] Now, instructions by Paul at the beginning should work.

Guest HoojSack Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hey guys, I'm working with a Huwaeii 8100 and so, I still dont get what I'm doing wrong. I checked through all the files here but I could not find an update.zip. However, I managed to install superuser. I realized now that the apply sdcard:update.zip step did not work for me and continues not to work. I cannot install apps even after using the Android signer and I applied things from the SDK to prevent this. Please help me!! Thanks, HoojSack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesamooney Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi when I try and get to the boot loader it comes up with Firmware update 1/2 then an '!' then a 'failed' message. How do I get to the right thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
