Latest Root Tutorial

I have a HTC Desire Z.
Android Version 2.2.
Can someone please link me to the "best" (simplest/easiest) way to root my phone? I know basically nothing about this apart from what I've read on here, which at times gets confusing. I am after a tutorial for everything...ie, to install a new ROM etc. Would be appreciated.
Thanks

Follow this guide carefully step by step and you will be ok:

I'm a beginner with Desire Z too (used to own a Galaxy S) and found this guide is easy enough.

I believe the guide in the Wiki is the most reliable. At least that's what I've heard from most.

Did you install the JDK? If yes then this is a bug with the installer, just press back and then next again, it will pass this message and install the SDK.

yeh i found that out after a search a while ago. i installed the SDK etc and went to the first step of that tutorial above i said i was doing where it says to enter the code to check the INFOCID. i have no idea where to input that code. Looks like a lot more reading is in order

I was hoping to get this done today, but still don't seem to be getting anywhere.
I cant install the windows usb drivers, and i've downloaded so many things because each tutorial links to a different tutorial, that i have lost track of what i have and what i dont have, or where i am in the tutorial.

Just follow the Wiki guide in order. Go to the HTC website and click support and find your device. Download the program called HTC Sync. When you download that program, it will download the drivers needed also.
You must enter in all the code from the command prompt. Click start on your computer, then type in "cmd" in the search bar, and click on it. It should pop up with a black prompt. It should have some words already up there, mine says "C:\Users\Sam", that means that folder is my current directory and I would have to move all the files I just downloaded to that folder. So lets say I want to change that current directory, then I would type in "cd " followed by the path of the folder. For example, I would say "cd C:\Users\Sam\Documents\HTCDesireZ\RandomFolder". Then the folder "RandomFolder" is my new path and I put all my downloaded files in there.

I have enabled USB Debugging, but when i type adb devices, no devices show up. I have done the other steps correctly. I think it may have something to do with another tutorial i did which made me turn off automatically installing hardware/updates (i think). Not sure how i turned it off though lol. Anyone know what im talking about and how i turn it back on?

argh changed it back and still not working. although when my computer tried updating the driver, it said it failed
also when i open HTC Sync, it doesn't detect my phone

So it's almost 5am. Been struggling with what seems like an intermittent problem with HTC Sync for hours now. It just doesn't want to detect my phone.
I've tried practically all of the methods in this thread:
http://androidforums.com/desire-support-troubleshooting/64808-htc-sync-cant-find-my-phone-3.html
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them.
Cheers

Just follow closely the tutorial that in my post above, it should include everything you need. For the driver, you can google HTC Sync and install it, after that you will have the drivers you need for you phone.
EDIT: just saw your post, do you have another computer to try on it again?

i do have access to another computer, however it is not convenient for me to do this on another computer. It seems this is a known problem. I am using Windows 7 32bit.

Anyone got any advice for the HTC Sync problem?

this is my device manager. im guessing it shouldn't have the exclamation mark?

Windows Mobile Device Center Install??

Since upgrading my PC to Windows 7 I cannot get my HTC Tilt 2 connected via WMDC. I have tried it over and over even with the firewall and virus protection turned off with not luck. It seems to install it then the update slide bar reverses itself and shuts off. I do have it flashed with one of the versions of WCX Illuminate roms.
Any ideas?

Start > Settings > Connections > USBtoPC > uncheck the box under ActiveSync that says "Enable faster data synchronization."
Connecting to the PC should be fine now.

Will this help being I cannot get WMDC installed at all on my PC? Some instructions say to have the phone plugged in when installing WMDC and some say do not.
Which way should I go?

Normally, plugging the device into the PC will trigger Microsoft update to download WMDC on the next update. This is the way it has always worked for me. Otherwise, simply download it straight from MS.
WMDC x86
WMDC x64

I was able to get WMDC installed, but when I connect my phone to it it still will not sync. When I start WMDC all it has "connecting" and then an error pops up.

Did you uncheck "Enable faster data synchronization" as I mentioned before?

Yes I did. I then connected the phone to my PC and forced an update. The PC did the update and installed WMDC. WMDC is picking up the phone, but nothing after that. I also checked my firewall setting on the PC and it is checked to allow WMDC. When I go to ActiveSync on my phone it comes up with instructions on how to download the sync software on the PC.
Also all of the options on the Menu of the ActiveSync section of the phone is grayed out.

Using your favorite registry editor, check the following registry string and change its value if it does not match. It should work after the change has been made.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers
Change "DefaultClientDriver" to "Serial_Class"

I used "regedit" search, but could not find this file.

It isn't a file, you need to use whichever registry editor you like to navigate to that string. If it isn't there, then create it.

When I said "file" I said it wrong. Here is what I did.
I went to start and typed in "regedit" and it brought up the "Registry Editor" that is in Windows already. I then went to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" and it had the following sub-locations. Which one of these sub-locations would I look in for the "drivers\USB\Functiondriver". I have looked, but no luck yet.
Here are the sub-locations.
BCD00000000

No. Why would the phone sync when you don't even have an operating system loaded on it? You need to reinstall WM on your phone. WMDC only syncs with a powered on WM device.

Requirements
Operating System: Windows XP with .NET 2.0, Windows Vista, Windows 7

Changelog
v12.02.23.2
1. Fixed deadlock when app starts without ADB server already running, added start-up status window.
2. Automatically scan for devices after installing drivers.
v12.02.23
Initial Release
Summary
This tool allows you to try out different recoveries very easily. I was frustrated with the different methods for downloading and installing different recoveries and didn't like that there wasn't really a central place to find them so I wrote this tool to use ADB and Fastboot to very quickly switch between them. This tool is very far from done and more features and probably a complete overhaul are at some point in the near future.
Bugs
1. Cannot select between different devices although it appears to allow you to do so. It might flash to a different phone if you have more than one hooked up in fastboot mode.
2. Doesn't actually check to see if the phone is an Inc 2.
3. Sometimes the recoveries get unlocked even though the phone isn't in fastboot mode, if you click one of them fastboot.exe will wait on the phone forever and freeze the program.
Upcoming Improvements
1. Much improved download size.
2. Ability to try recoveries before flashing them.
3. Threaded device state monitoring - gets rid of prompts and keeps the app from freezing.
4. Ability to select between multiple devices.
5. Eventually a better GUI.
6. More consistency throughout the program.

Reserved for future use.

Thanks for pointing out the bug. It was the middle of the night and I was tired, didn't think to try to start the app without ADB already running. Should be fixed now in the first post.

still not working for me same problem

OP,
Are we supposed to manually install the drivers? If so, the x64 drivers will not install, even when run as administrator.
I am also getting the same result with the new files. I even tried killing and starting adb to no avail.

Start ADB before running the program and let me know if that works. I did find the problem you were having and solved it on my end. Do you see a window that says "Starting ADB . . ." when you run the program? If not, make sure you're running the current version.

Make sure your phone is plugged in before installing the drivers. You might need to uninstall other drivers first or you might not need to install the drivers at all. Does it find your phone if you just skip the driver installation?

Still no go on two different computers both Win7 x64... If I try to install the drivers separately it says that the drivers cannot be installed.
Edit: Upon further investigation, I tried to manually install again by directing the device manager to the EXACT file and this is what I get.

You shouldn't have to install the drivers just to get the program to open. Can you describe exactly what's happening?

I have the same issue stated here

Alright, removed the download link. Guess I'll have to setup a VM to figure this out. It works for me with the included drivers OR the "My HTC" drivers and I'm not having any issues with the app freezing so it must be something about this setup.

Flashtool drivers fail[Windows 8, 64bit)

Hi!
I have just installed Windows 8 64bit on my PC. Now I want to use flashtool (flashtool-0.9.7.0-windows).
However, it's telling me that I need some drivers before I can flash my phone (xperia play r800i). I tried using this method:
sewer56lol said:
You have to disable driver signature checks as windows won't allow them, if you know how then upon boot go to troubleshoot settings (If you do not dual boot then you are forced to pull in your installation CD and go to Repair Computer section)
Then you go to advanced settings and after you hit boot in Safe Mode, reboot and then install the drivers and after that you need to reboot again to go to normal mode.

However, I think that I'm failing miserably. I get this error (while installing the drivers in failsafe mode):

Click to expand...

The drivers I am installing is:
"Sony Ericsson Xperia arc, Xperia Neo, Xperia PLAY, Xperia acro IS11S, Xperia acro SO-02C drivers"
(From a list inside the program "C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe")
I also tried to do something listed on MSDN:
Thanks Marilyn and Hadron for your responses. It turns out I finally came across the solution I was looking for shortly after posting this. Here's what I did:
Open a command prompt as an admin and type:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS (hit Enter)
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON (hit Enter)
I might have rebooted after that. That put the machine in test mode, like I was going for, and allowed me to install the unverified test driver.

What you tested was the beta. The other guy has the final product of windows 8 which is a different kind of beat.
New Info: In order to install applicatons on your windows 8 machine the applocation must have the approval from microsoft. Ouch..... Im stickin with windows 7 then maybe for good if Microsoft is going this route.

are the drivers just not installing altogether or do you get a can't start error?

totally agree with you chery2k just stick to win7 untill oxide& crew have a fix btw I think win8 is S***
also which version of flashtool did u guys try as 0.9.0.0 was released recently and new update coming soon(or may be out).

try this
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
reboot
download drivers (test signed a few)
try to run dpinst64 (if that fails)
manually install them
report back
also smartscreen can be turned off during install of windows 8

me too..

I do not think windows 8 it self the problem. I tested flashing with flashtool 0.9.9.0 in a windows 8 VM, the driver appear to be installed and it attempted to flash, but the phone would disconnect before it could flash. I think the reason for that is the VM.
On my VM i have smartscreen and UAC turned off
the drivers i used are in my previous post

I can confirm drivers are not working anymore on Windows 8....:crying:

to continue with my last post I think the reason people are having problems is USER ERROR and not they are not willing to try and fix it them self.

i installed flash tool and the drivers on windows 8 32 bit without any problem or errors or pop up security screens the only screen i got was the driver not verified by windows crap and just installed it anyway and worked fine...if u just want to flash your phone just install the flashmode and fastboot drivers dont worry about the xperia play driver...and dont forget to disable your antivirus

I had a similar problem the other day while working on getting my r800at's fastboot to be identified in Flashtool. I did the same as you, regarding trying to install the Xperia Drivers from the flashtool app itself, but it didn't work.
What I did to successfully install drivers was use SuperOneClick. There should be an option in the Advanced Tab to "Check Drivers", and since it won't find any, it'll ask if you want it to forcibly install the drivers. Allow it to, and it should immediately have working drivers. This worked on a Windows 7 64-bit OS, I'm unsure of how it'll pan out with W8, but good luck.

I'm running win8 too, in the flashtool folder in the C: drive, there should be a drivers folder, just run the installer that's in there. make sure the android SDK is installed first. Did you install android SDK?

A. If you have one of the above devices, you are ready to go!​Method 1(older, harder, but still functional)
1. Download both files from here.
2. Unzip both of the files on the folder
3. Open the folder wconnect, then install IpOverUsbInstaller.msi and vcredist_x86.exe
4. Go to your Windows 10 Mobile’s Settings page, then head over to Update & Security > For Developers and enable Developers Mode, as well as Device Discovery
5. Now go to the extracted wconnect folder, then open an elevated command prompt (Shift+right click > Open command window here)
6. After that, you’ll need to connect to the phone — and there’s two way of doing that (USB method is recommended): ◦If you want to connect using USB, type "wconnect.exe usb" and hit enter
6.1 And if you want to connect over Wi-Fi, type wconnect.exe 192.168.xxx.xxx (replace the xxx with your network’s IP)
7. Then it’ll ask for the pairing code, just type the pairing code and hit enter
8. After that, navigate to the extracted adb folder and open an elevated command prompt
9. To make sure that your device is connected, type adb devices and hit enter to show the list of devices that are connected
10. Lastly, place the APK file that you want to install on the same directory (adb folder) and type in adb install APKNAME.apk (replace APKNAME with the APK file’s name)
11. Just wait for it to do its thing and you should be able to install the Android app on your Windows 10 device
Method 2 (new, noob-proof)
1. Download the files here and extract them anywhere
2. Install "IpOverUsbInstaller" and "vcredist_x86"
2. Run "APKDeployment.exe"
3. On your phone go to "Settings/Update & Security/For developers" and enable "Developer mode" and "Device discovery" then press "Pair"
4. Connect your phone to USB, insert the code you got earlier from your phone, into APKDeployment app, then press pair. Your phone should appear as "emulator_555x on USB"
5. Now that you're paired, you can simply drag .apk's into the application then choose to deploy all.
Method 3 (even simpler)
1. Download the package from here and install it.
2. Follow app instructions.
Method 4
Install APKtoWin10m
Download Windows Bridge
On your pc go to "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\APKTOW10M\connect" then extract the "Windows bridge" contents there. When asked, replace all files.
That's it, the tool should be fixed.
Credits go to @alb3530.
B. VERY IMPORTANT!
1. Do not disconnect the device while an apk is installing.
2. Do not reboot while your phone has Developer Mode Activated.
C. Errors you might encounter and how to fix them.
1. Status 9 - connection problem
If this happens, unregister you device using "Windows Phone Developper Registration 8.1", tool provided alongside Windows Phone 8.1 SDK, or download the lite version from here.Afterwards you will be able to access Developer settings again. Or Hard reset, your choice.
If the method above did not help, another fix is to go to device manager and uninstall these drivers [(coresponding to your device) also delete them if asked] then refresh, and let Windows reinstall them.

2. Status 14 - device not supported
Either your device is unsupported or you haven't installed "Developer Enhacements" update
To install Developer enhacements update, install Windows Insider from Store and Enroll, then check phone updates. It should show up there.
3. Developer menu crashes, wconnect app hangs
If this happens, unregister you device using "Windows Phone Developper Registration 8.1", tool provided alongside Windows Phone 8.1 SDK, or download the lite version from here.Afterwards you will be able to access Developer settings again. Or Hard reset, your choice.
4. Notification toggles flashing
Just reboot, but remember to disable Developer Mode first.

Here's a list from someone on r/windowsphone on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/windowspho...all_android_apps_on_windows_10_mobile/ctvvtwj
eric5949:
Just installed Twitter and the Destiny Companion App, they work great, though i would turn off the 3D model in the Destiny app, it made it crash. Clearly project Astoria isn't finished, but damn if it doesn't work good.
Edit: Here's what I've tried.
Facebook: Crash
Messenger: Works, No notifications outside of app, no calling
Snapchat: New versions throw an error when you try to log in, old versions say to update
Destiny Companion App: Works, guardian 3D model may cause app to crash, turn it off in settings.
Amazon App with Store: Works, laggy though. Trying to install an app crashes the app.
Twitter: Works.
Google Play Services: Had to try...for science. Either fails to install or crashes.
Firefox: Crash on launch
Steam: Works
Wikia Game Guides: Works, though crashes sometimes, and some images fail to load
Hearthstone: Crashes with "Failed to download additional files from google play"
Clash of Clans: Works so far, haven't tried IAP because...im not spending money on that game...
Puzzle and Dragons: Not sure what i was expecting here, its hooked pretty hard into Google Play services. Crashed on launch.
TeamSpeak: Crash.
Teamviewer: App works, but it fails to connect to the internet.
Reddit is Fun: App itself works, crashes when logging in with message "not implemented yet"
Waze: Can't get location, forever initializing.
I will update with more as i try them.

Using Windows Phone 8.1 SDK, unregister your device, reboot, then try accesing developemt settings again.
