Guest shootomanUK Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 might be a dumb question but have you tried flashing the retail english rom and then trying the root method, just to see if it works ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dt_matthews Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) It boots normally, but no su apk, when i try root checker it says it's not root, and if y a try to install superSU it says binaries are missing. downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 0.281s] It's not too short for an almost 7 Mo file ? why 'boot.img' and not 'boot.superboot.img' ? Thanks I appear to have the same - it says it downloads the img to the phone but when it reboots there is no root. anyone got any thoughts? {I'm on a win8 x64 machine} tia Edited November 28, 2013 by dt_matthews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sebastian404 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Well done.. I had a quick look yesterday at it, but I could not get the thing to boot with a new image, I was getting a 'hab check failed' error when I tried to flash an modified boot image.. Whats the secret step I missed then? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I have a Tesco one arriving today so I'll try the root on that. Sebastian404, not sure, I didn't do anything different for this device over what I normally do, it's just a regular boot image... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c3k Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 device rooted yestarday, thanks on my experience it works on second attemp: - unlock - superboot-windows.bat - reboot - setup - *** no root *** - reboot bootloader - superboot-windows.bat - reboot - root did "fastboot oem lock" works to remove the bootloader alert screen?

Guest PaulOBrien Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 You can't relock the bootloader with a modified system image i'm afraid.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PaulOBrien Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I added a poll to the topic to track success / failure on different OS'. If you have rooted or have tried to root, please complete the poll.P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest a1Pha Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Paul, I already tried other operating systems (I have tripleboot: OSX, Win8.1, Kali Linux), other cables and switching USB ports (also tried both USB3 and USB2.0), semms not to have any effect..

Guest a1Pha Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 might be a dumb question but have you tried flashing the retail english rom and then trying the root method, just to see if it works ? Just did so, flashed _everything_ (including logo & radio) from retail.en.GB. No effect, besides the fact that the phone shows me "en.GB" in system version now. Still cannot boot Pauls superboot.
