Guest tillaz Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 please could anyone confirm if installing another stock rom using stock recovery won't lock again my phone and maybe it would allow me to enable usb debug mode? confirmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest putbinoot Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Seemed to root ok. However when i try to tick 'Root Explorer' and 'mount file system', it tells me sorry test failed etc. Mike You need to do a wipe in cmw and install a rooted Rom like Bluemonte so that es gets access.

Guest D3abL3 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Not according to the instructions....:o True. You don't need to flash a custom ROM to do this, root should be enough. Instead of ES, use ASTRO... btw, do you see Superuser app on your App Drawer? Does ES at least prompt for permissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest D3abL3 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 That means 1 of 2 things: 1- root ptocess didn't work; 2- you need install superuser,cuz elseway the apps have "no one" to ask for permissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest putbinoot Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Seemed to root ok. However when i try to tick 'Root Explorer' and 'mount file system', it tells me sorry test failed etc. Mike installed es file explorer from apk launched and this is were it's not happening can't enable root explorer do i have to root phone again as phone appears back to stock. you need to put a rooted rom on via cmw cm7 or bluemonte just install clockwork and install any rom .you could install atomic and its easier to edit the nv files to get wifi to work.choice is yours. 14: WiFi will not work as the phone has lost the MAC address. However, once you flash back to the ROM of your choice do the following:Install ES File Explorer on your phoneEnable root mode on it and RW to system partition. This can be done in the app’s settings accessed by pressing the menu buttonGo to /system/etc/nv_4319.txt and click it.Open with Note Editor and scroll down until the the line saying “macadress=…” NOT THE ONE BEGINNING WITH #Change the “…” to your MAC address you noted down. I had to change "home Location" from /sdcard/ to / in settings. I was told to press the home button but could not find it. read my posts and replys to them in this thread from post 60 on. this thread.

Guest Mikejgeo Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Stock Recovery? Doing correct sequence? Battery out, usb cable, volume down until FTM? Correct, it was bricked... Did have CWM installed so was able to flash the Stock Orange ROM onto it so it now boots......is it still unlocked?... checking....... Stock ROM is unlocked... so I at least have a working phone but my god its dog slow....

Guest xiaoyaoswim Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi, I just done a tutorial to unlock and fixed the wifi problem from the help from this forum, hope this will help you too. http://123base.blogs...-skate-omc.html The title said root the phone, I am going to add it later! : ) Thanks for your work. It's nice to include screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Navie Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Long?! You didn't backup with CW Recovery? :o I did backup, however...with experience I knew it would be long and it was long, first I had the task of changing my notification icons and the restoring the colour to that of the stock rom (green like the android colour), I managed to change the icons but not the colours for Bluemonte V1.5.D, at one point I flashed and the notification bar had dissapeared so I did 3 flashes of rom I wanted to use, I did manage it with V1.5, however something must have been different with version V1.8.D. Then I had a probelm with my SD card, especailly with the Link2SD app, it was my fault for not selecting EXT3 after the first boot after flashing, so that took just under 2 hours to sort. After that I had to sort the WIFI issue with the unlock thing and then my Google account, I still have an issue with a freezing issue with Bluemonte and if it happens again...I will try and record a video of it, overall I am happy with the unlock thanks to the unlock founder, Tital for making the process easier than if I had to do it...might have taken me 2 days :P and thanks to Tillaz for his rom...apart from the freezing issue its a great rom and I have noticed its fast and more responsive than before.
