Guest Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Just found this line in build.prop,"ro.build.characteristics=nosdcard" Surely not that simple lol, only one way to find out =nosdcard to =sdcard and see what happens, as some of us know, build.prop tweaks can change things just by adding or altering a line so it could work. Also, it does not have to be something hard to enable because they did not expect us to get in with root, so a simple build.prop tweak would be enough, knowing we had no way to edit it unless rooted. Anyway enough theory, Gonna give it a go. Edit: Thought it was to easy to be true, no sd card ;) As ricky & flibblesan are saying,it looks like a kernel level thing.

Guest SmoKe42 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Updated to ICS and rooted. So far so good, everything is OK. Avast Anti-Theft was correctly installed in root mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dereek Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 guys plz reply... does factory reset remove root? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlueMoonRising Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 guys plz reply... does factory reset remove root? I'm no expert(I don't intend to root for a long while if at all) however from previous experience with the OSF I would say no, it just resets the OS to a virgin state. Of course you could try and let us know... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 No it does not remove root, I factory reset with this device and root is still there. A factory wipes data so the rom is like first time boot, but it does not alter files in system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dereek Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks Bluemoonrising and Jikobutsu. So, we cannot have an unroot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) You can unroot, just not that way. One way is to delete superuser apk from system app then su and busybox from xbin, I think there are unroot apps that do this for you.

Guest ayziaa Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 With root is there a way to enable ip adb (wifi)? because it doesn't show up in the settings. I was wondering if with a simple tweak like toggles in notification, there was a way to disable/enable it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
