Guest Posted October 9, 2012 Report 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. Edited October 9, 2012 by Guest
Guest dereek Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks a lot really.. but will factory reset bring my xolo back to ics... and unroot it???
Guest SmoKe42 Posted October 9, 2012 Report 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.
Guest punjabi Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Is there a way to uproot the device, should we need to...?

Paul, any chance you could have a look at this? ;)
Guest Atlask Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Hey,who 've tried to overclock the atom B)
Guest i am not a hacker Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 No one, we can't overclock as that involves the kernel and bootloader which we can't unlock
Guest rickywyatt Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 im back lol got my new phone today

Guest punjabi Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Yeah Ricky youre back! Great to hear from again mate. Let the games begin............! 8-)
Guest Simon O Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 MD5 of update.zip is 88f70256b361eb89722de45f5cf50bce according to my copy. Size is 313,708,504 bytes (313.7 MB on disk) Size on disk is different due to me having a Mac probably.
Guest Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) What happens to the OTA update zip after upgrade, does it get deleted as I cannot find it in user data or system ? Edited October 9, 2012 by Guest
Guest dereek Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 guys plz reply... does factory reset remove root?
Guest BlueMoonRising Posted October 10, 2012 Report 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... :)
Guest Posted October 10, 2012 Report 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.
Guest dereek Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks Bluemoonrising and Jikobutsu. So, we cannot have an unroot?
Guest Posted October 10, 2012 Report 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. Edited October 10, 2012 by Guest
Guest stephen m Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Thanks Bluemoonrising and Jikobutsu. So, we cannot have an unroot? Check this out guys https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.troy1103.hideyourroot&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50cm95MTEwMy5oaWRleW91cnJvb3QiXQ.. Will show the phone as unrooted!
Guest ayziaa Posted October 11, 2012 Report 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?
Guest dereek Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 Guys will flashing ics update.zip remove root?
