Please do not use the update until it is confirmed it is not to block root.......that is if you want to keep your root, and I am sure you all do

This update does remove root, and the ai0 tool doesn't work for rooting after the update either, and I wouldn't apply the update if you've changed system files and rooted because it seems to cause problems of the bricking kind.

The color theme folders  in tools directory are from testing stages, the correct folder is C:\SanDiego\tools\themes\

If the themes are not unzipping and staying in tool directory are you using right option in setup 32bit or 64bit ? that is what happens if you use wrong option.

If you use 32bit option on 64bit pc it wont work as the 7zip is not same.

The tool was fully tested before release and works fine, if it does not work it is maybe because your adb is not contected.

If you have adb setup on pc do this before running tool, open cmd and cd to your adb, and type adb devices, if you dont see your device or get a device offline message, power off device and power back on, not reboot.

If you dont have adb setup on pc do this before running tool, open task manager and kill adb server like in screenshot. If that does not work then power off device and power back on and try then, but not reboot, only power off fixes adb (dont ask why, I have no idea)

You should not need to do this, but if having problems this will most likely solve it.

Im running windows ultimate 32 bit with service pack 1 on a amd core 3.30 gig with 8 gig of ram.
Think your right about it being adb mucking up the install Im not running adb sdk on this computer but I do have other drivers for other phones installed(iphone/htc and other anddroid ones)so that could be mucking it up too.

The only other thing I can think of is when I installed the latest Aio tool I deleted the last one off the computer then unziped stright into the C drive(not sure if that would break anything).

Im more than sure its a system or user issue(Im bound to of buggered it up some how:))

Aio is still the best otpion for rooting this phone and I cant thank enough rickywyatt and everybody else that has helped put this tool together.
I got root Im more than happy with that:)

Hi, I tried XOLO deodex, then at the time of restart, the phone sticks on XOLO logo. So then I tried Fix Brick option, but its showing failed icon at the time of flashing. Please someone help. Totally hopeless now...

Have you got the Xolo update.zip on the phone? If so you should be able to install from USB by getting into recovery mode.

Edit :- if not then try fixbrick a couple of times, sometimes it seems to need a bit of bullying.

That's about the extent of my knowledge Tanay I'm afraid. You'll have to wait for one of the developers to come on, it's only 5:50AM here in the UK. I couldn't sleep

Congo... many thanks to Riskywatt, http://www.modaco.co...le/page__st__60

I followed steps provided there by Riskywatt and problem solved...

[ayziaa]

I think deodex did this. anyone has something like that?

Edit: dpi edit seems to be more likely to have caused that

Edit2: yeah it was dpi

Yes it is dpi, the Intel camera won't change with dpi which is quite annoying really.

The status bar handle is also affected by dpi change ( not centered)

Likewise, I assume no way round this?

[jikobutsu]

Yes but the app will need to be decompiled and be edited, smali knowing our luck

[technomole]

I gave in and flashed the xolo ics update so I could root the phone again.

However I seem to have run into a small problem when trying to apply the 270 dpi mod.

At first when I ran it I got -  unable to chmod system/default/prop (or something like that) but then the phone rebooted, but nothing had changed.

Then I ran it again and I got - cannot stat C:\SanDiego\tools\dpi\270\' : No such file or directory, but it's definitely there in the c drive.

I also tried to adjust the default.prop file on the phone as I noticed it has an entry for the lcd setting, but changing it to 270 doesn't work, it changes back to 240 on rebooting the phone.

The phone is rooted, I've enabled the internal sd card, used the deodex xolo ics (option 17) and then enabled both sd cards (option 14)  

Any ideas as to why it's not working ? and can I change the file on the phone ? I'm sure I saw something similar to this problem, but I can't seem to find it.

Edit : -

Okay tried to get the dpi mod to work again, no dice.

The exact errors are - cannot stat 'C:\SanDiego\tools\dpi\270\' : No such file or directory (again the dpi files are in the sandiego folder on the c drive)

Unable to chmod /system/default.prop: No such file or directory

This one is a little puzzling as there is no default.prop file in the system folder, at least there wasn't when I checked with root browser, or ES file explorer.

The default.prop file is in the same folder as android.fstab, charger, init, init.goldfish.rc and various others, does this mean it's in the wrong place ?

Edit (2) : - I've also noticed that any changes I make to system files on the phone (using one of the text editors) don't stick after reboot, I've tried moving the default.prop to /system and renaming the other one, but the change doesn;t stick, I've tried changing the file permissions as well, but again on reboot they don't stick, so it would seem that even though I have super user access (root) I don't really, as I can't make permanent changes ?

I've had similar issues (a while ago now) on linux, it's usually a permissions thing some where along the lines.

Slightly off topic I know, but just checked by phone's storage and it states 'internal storage total space 1.97gb, USB storage 29.97gb and SD card 10.71gb. I'm sure the SD card and USB storage was round the other way before, but not complaining for obvious reasons. But anyone else noticed the same

[rickywyatt]

yes because you have swapped your sdcard in the aio tool lol

[punjabi]

@rickywatt

Will you be updating the tool to root after the new update...?

Thanks mate.
