I believe he got around it by copying the Xolo update.zip(the 299MB one) to the phones root and then going to System Settings/About Phone/System Updates/Update from USB.

This should install a virgin Xolo ICS install, DO NOT ACCEPT ANY UPDATES OTA. You then need to root again.

Awesome, that worked!

Now I have another issue trying to install the signal booster.  I get the following error:

Please make your decision:42
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
push: C:\SanDiego\tools\SignalBoost/app/signalboost.apk -> /system/app/signalboost.apk
failed to copy 'C:\SanDiego\tools\SignalBoost/app/signalboost.apk' to '/system/app/signalboost.apk': Read-only file syst
em

Unable to chmod /system/lib/libganril.so: No such file or directory
Unable to chmod /system/lib/libkineto.so: No such file or directory
Unable to chmod /system/lib/librilswitch.so: No such file or directory

Any idea how I can resolve that one?

Actually I've lost signal boost again somehow. I'm 100% sure it's not me doing it which leaves me with either the fact that it fails every so often or Orange can disable it somehow. Does that sound paranoid?

I presume you are rooted by the way?
You can manually copy and paste the files and then change permissions. You then need to restart the phone.

Yeah, I'm rooted.  Is that the only pre-requisite for the signal boost?

Do I just need to run the signalboost.apk on the phone then or are the files in /etc and /lib required too?

I can't seem to browse the system partition so not sure how I would copy those files.

Cheers for your help, appreciated!

You need root for signal boost plus USB debugging checked and both boxes in adbd checked.

I've just reinstalled it(again) using :-


adb.exe kill-server
adb.exe start-server
adb.exe wait-for-device
adb remount
sleep 5
adb push C:\SanDiego\tools\SignalBoost\app\signalboost.apk /system/app
adb push C:\SanDiego\tools\SignalBoost\etc\rild.conf /system/etc
adb push C:\SanDiego\tools\SignalBoost\lib\libganril.so /system/lib
adb push C:\SanDiego\tools\SignalBoost\lib\libkineto.so /system/lib
adb push C:\SanDiego\tools\SignalBoost\lib\librilswitch.so /system/lib
adb reboot
sleep 5
adb.exe kill-server

put the above in a .bat file and run it from the C:\SanDiego\tools\ folder. The signal boost files listed have to be in their respective folders on your PC of course.
Once it's rebooted then just open the app from your app drawer and check the box. It's working perfectly again for me.

[BlueMoonRising]

Looking at the SanDiego.bat file it's using chmod to change the permissions without actually pushing the files there in the first place(excepting the apk).

Edit :- by the way if you're rooted then use https://play.google....S50b29sYm94Il0., Root Browser is part of it which I've used to move files from the SD storage to the system partion.

Not sure I have 'both boxes in adbd' checked.  Where is it that I need to do that? On the phone somewhere?

Just figured it out so ignore that last question!

Got signal booster installed, result!

Will this help???  I found it online and says we can unlock the bootloader... I don't know what do you think???

Do you not read our other responses? It talks about hboot, a format used by HTC. Does that not sound a bit odd to you considering you have a Xolo phone? By all means try it, but don't complain when it goes wrong

Hi guys

It's been a while since I've been on this forum - great stuff, I must say!

I need to return my SD to Orange tomorrow due to the power button 'sinking' into the phone and I'm just trying to restore the Orange ICS software from (I'm on Xolo ICS). I've downloaded and installed all the necessary files needed from the awesome 'Rickywatt' post. Here's where I'm struggling...

1. I've downloaded the Orange ICS from setup
2. I understand I need to root my device by selecting option 7, but for some reason the root process doesn't fully complete. The script runs and says successful then my device reboots once... but not a second time?! Where am I going wrong...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, guys!

Thanks in advance.

I can't remember it booting twice to be honest, have you checked if you're rooted at all?

[BlueMoonRising]

Don't forget to flash the Orange logo before flashing Orange ICS.

Hi Bluemoon.

Thanks for the quick response... that's where I get stuck, it won't root my device for some reason. I've tried running the 'Adb insecure' app that it has installed on my phone but it won't let me because I'm not rooted?!

I'm sure there's something obvious I'm missing out.

The device is in USB debugging mode as well...

Thanks

It's struggling to load SU on my device... keeps saying:

"error: read-only system" in the script when it tries to push the SU files onto the phone I guess?!

[BlueMoonRising]

Try killing the tool and all instances of adb.exe running and unplug the phone. Then try again.

[punjabi]

I've tried everything but it's not working... it's something to do with read-only failure!

Anyone....???

[topcat07]

Have you ticked the boxes in the adb app before trying to push su
