Guest BlueMoonRising Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 It would also help if you could state what exactly you have on the phone now and what it is you're trying to achieve. And as you can see from the most recent posts this forum is still active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest john91919 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Hi, I am running the original orange ICS. I am trying to root and enable the sdcard slot. The tool worked on my previous OSD but after having it replaced with a faulty power button the tool no longer works. I'm concerned with changing it to xolo as I wounldnt be able to return it under warranty if I had another problem. Is it now only the xolo thats rootable? If I go for xolo can I switch back to an earlier version of the orange ICS without doing the update? What is the difference between the xolo and the orange ics (apart from rootability) Cheers John Edited January 23, 2013 by john91919 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlueMoonRising Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) No, Orange is rootable too, you've probably got the small patch installed that needs removing first. Use the downgrade option in the tool. It actually installs the Xolo original ICS rom, don't let it update OTA. I would use the auto-aio-xolo.bat file which you'll find in C:\SanDiego\tools which will flash Xolo rom(again ;) ), root, debrand, enable SD card(you have to have a card inserted) and deodex all in one(excellent work once again from Ricky). You can always flash the Orange logo after the fact if it bothers you. The only differences between Xolo and Orange are the bloatware that once rooted usually gets deleted anyway, the stock roms are exactly the same.. Edit :- oh, and Orange roms use orange notifications(obviously), the Xolo ones are a pale blue. Once deodexed you can use the themes developed by jikobutsu.

Guest john91919 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Well still not getting anywhere. I have run the tool and the batch file. It does reboot the phone most of the time but I am getting a lot of read only file system messages and a lot of failed for remounts and copying files. Not sure where I am going wrong but nohing seems to work. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try copying the Xolo.zip(299MB) to your root and go to settings > about phone > update then update from usb storage. Edit :- that'll give you a basic Xolo ICS(don't accept any updates OTA!!!), then you can use the tool to root, enable SD card and flash the ORANGE Logo if you want.

Guest john91919 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Thanks I will give that a try. Do you have a link for xolo.zip? I have copied adbd to the sdcard and run it from there but I don't get the tickboxs and says it needs super user. When I run the tool it says its copied adbd to data/temp/something but I can't find the file on the phone. What is the full path? I also get a blue android with androidboot over it with a green stationary line under it. Eventually (about 20min) I gave up waiting and powered down/up the phone. Another thing is live wallpaper is lost everytime I power down the phone. Don't know if that is significant? Thanks for all your help.

Guest i am not a hacker Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Change your launcher to fix the live wallpaper problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest john91919 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 What can I say you guys are awesome. Ran the update.zip....xolo adbd and super user worked as they should and the boxes were ticked :) From there plane sailing. Rooted, sd cards and orange logo! Can anyone recommend a laucher. I like nova but the live wallpaper loss is getting a bit annoying but I like that you can get more icons on the screen and add more pages. Many thanks.

Guest BlueMoonRising Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I use Apex which is compiled for ICS and up specifically, it's really slick. I used to use Go on my SF but I've found it to be slowly sinking under the weight of all the extra apps and widgets you can add nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
