Do i have root now? - Desire General

i made everything like in the tutorial for bootloader 0.80 but some of those went a bit diffrent... but i aint got no O2 scenes on my desire anymore
how can i check if i got it right rooted?

Do you have an app now called superuser?

no i dont got an app like that

I don't think you are rooted then. What steps went differently?
Try installing an app that needs root and see if it works.
Edit: try something like titanium backup.

ok. i aint got root. thanks. Next try

No worries. If you get stuck rooting post here and I'm sure between us all we'll have your phone running custom roms in no time!

now i really need help. so i tried to root with this guide
"Guide to root using Windows, MAC OS X and Linux
1. Download following items:
---- If you have a bootloader version 0.75.xxxx or below AND a current ROM of 1.15.xxx.x or below - DOWNLOAD / MIRROR
---- If you have a bootloader version 0.80.xxxx or below AND a current ROM of 1.21.xxx.x or below - DOWNLOAD / MIRROR
2. Unzip the file you downloaded to a directory, then open a command prompt / terminal window at that directory.
3. Turn off your HTC Desire, then turn it back on with the 'back' button held down. You'll see 'FASTBOOT' written on the screen in a red box. Connect the phone to the computer.
4. In the command prompt/terminal window, enter either 'step1-windows.bat'(for windows), './step1-mac.sh'(for mac) or './step1-linux.sh'(for linux)
5. Navigate to the 'BOOTLOADER' and then 'RECOVERY' option on the menu, using the volume buttons to move and the power button to select.
6. In the command prompt/terminal window, enter either 'step2-windows.bat', './step2-mac.sh' or './step2-linux.sh' as appropriate.
7. When this has completed, your device should be at the 'recovery'("green") screen. Select Wipe and then press Wipe data/factory reset
8. Once complete you should be back in the main menu. Now select the option Flash zip from sdcard and than choose rootedupdate.zip
9. Once back in the main menu, choose restart the phone - the rooting process is now finished
"
First of all i got bootloader 0.80XXXX and it was o2 branded germany. i got windows 7 32 bit. So first i made a Goldcard. then everthing went good. but at step 5 if i try to choose RECOVERY it takes me to the Red Triangle. So of course if i try 'step2-windows.bat' it does not work. Can u help me out?

What errors are you seeing? Make sure that you have HTC sync and the sdk installed.

ok now i made everything as i made it before... i had errors after step 5 .. but then it went good and i saw the green screen and made everything like in the guide. but i aint got an app with the name superuser. i installed busybox and titanium. what shall i do with titanium to know that i got root now?

For titanium to work your phone has to be rooted, so if it works then you are sorted!
What rom are you running? Go to Menu> About phone>Software information. What does build number say?

it says 1.21.405.1 CL172503 test-keys

As far as I remember test keys means step 1 has worked and you are now rooted.
Try to flash a custom rom from the dev section now. To do this you need to go back into recovery and wipe everything then flash the new rom.

which custom rom is good for a newbie?

Do you want sense or are you not too worried?
I am currently using this one and find it very good, and stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674688
It has sense on it. You can overclock your processor to make it work even faster, and it has nice battery icon etc.
Edit: I'm using the bravesoul version

i will try the non'overclocked version. at this moment i am installing. everything is doing good so far. i will post in some minutes if it was successful

OK Good luck!

i think it worked . Build-Nummer - Pays Desire with Sense. THANKS A LOT

Happy days! Glad I was able to help.

Error "main version is older" "Update Fail!" Truly RESOLVED!!

Do you have an HTC Evo and you want to truly get it rooted and have the NAND Unlocked? I've figured out how to get this done when the other methods out there today result in the error "main version is older - update fail!" when you try to downgrade your Evo from 1.47 to 1.32. I searched high and low and couldn't find a solution for this error. The more I searched the more I learned about the stage that was failing and walla, I figured out a solution. This should work for you too.
The instructions below will give you full root, NAND unlock, and Recovery from start to finish.
All files are attached in this archive. It's large but I think it's best to use the files/versions that I know will work. Feel free to post mirrors if you are able to host.
During the process below the phone can be connected to your PC via USB.
Files:
bit.ly/evonand
Large file but it has everything you need!
1) Revert your Evo to the stock setup using the file:
1=RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe
Follow the steps on the update program, allowing it to flash your phone to the stock 1.47 setup.
2) After the phone is ready to unlock the screen skip through the setup and get to the home screen. Enable USB debugging.
3) In the folder named: "2-Root+Recovery" from my archive, run the file: "reflash.exe"
4) When this application is launched it does it all automatically. The result will be a rooted EVO with a custom Recovery installed. Boot the phone back to the home screen again.
The HBOOT Drivers for your PC are in this folder as well, if you haven't already install them from one of the previous guides. You'll see what I mean during the reflash.exe process.
5) Once you're back to the home screen, enable the USB Drive option so you can browse your SD card on your PC.
6) Copy this file (Available in my archive) to the first level of the SD Card:
3-ROM_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip
7) When the copy is complete, power down the phone. Hold down the volume down key while powering back on the phone. After the initial check for update it does automatically, select "Recovery" from the options.
8) Using the recovery program that comes up, clear the user data and cache, then select the option to install .ZIP file from SD Card.
9) Proceed with installing the ROM you copied to the SD card in step 6. When this is complete, Recovery will say "Complete" Reboot the phone using the options on the Recovery program and skip through the setup options, getting to the home screen.
Here's your status at this point - Rooted, Custom Recovery, and downgraded to OS 1.32
10) Open the folder "4-NAND Unlock (1.32)" and run "Simple root.exe"
11) You're now on step 2 thanks to the above steps. Click on "Step 2" on this simple root program. Follow the instructions and then when that's complete, run "Step 3" to flash a newer Recovery program. The steps above have installed an older version.
12) And that's a wrap. In step 11 you'll notice the Update Fail error doesn't come up. You're able to flash the update needed to achieve NAND Unlock and you can, in my case, now install the super speedy and functional Froyo ROM from Cyanogen. And trust me, it's worth it. The ROM is fun and responds faster than ever before! Enjoy
so this is just using unrevoked3 to root and then downgrading you so you can use the original simpleroot correct?
yeah thats what kept happening to me. I used unrevoked at first, and then tried doing the toast root and it wouldnt let me because of "older version" so i had to do simpleroot and had no prob after that
why are you downgrading at all just root the latest 1.47 and flash CM6. no need to go back to 1.3
thanks, this worked for me, even went back to full unrooted stock and tried the simple root ota and kept getting that error. this worked, but how do i make sure nand is unlocked? I restored nandroid to the last backup i had when i was rooted with Unrevoked3, hopefully that does not screw things up.

Yes and no - You do use the simpleroot in the end, but start on NAND unlock steps since the previous work gets you rooted and downgraded.

Good point, but this thread is meant for those of us who had issues performing the simple root OTA 1.47 edition.
Where is the archive!?
Worked for me.
Someone who has been fighting this probably already has most of what is in your archive already. All they would probably need beyond that is the older rooted stock ROM and maybe the RUU.
Uhm...OP. Your post fails in same place many others do...you do not have CLEAR instructions on when to be USB attached, when mounted when charging, where to put the files...what system you were running all this on...etc. (When you do mention USB you call it 'usb drive option'...not heard that term before.)
I am a training developer and instructor for many many years. It is so very common to see someone write instructions and miss the bits they 'just know'. If you are aiming at noobs with this...you might want to put in all the minutia.
Good try though and great job sharing your experiences and what worked for you. Sorry for picking on you.
I can confirm this actually does work I discovered this method a week ago and have been helping members use it. I've also been working on a tut just not that great at writing it which is very important as the user above pointed out. I'm also working on a automated method to get this going easier for users. if anyone really needs help getting this done send me a pm as I put in many other threads I will walk you thru it in english laymans terms. Thanks op great work where did you find it?
Im having the same issues as the OP had and I tried doing the first step of reverting but i get Error: 170 which states can't connect to device. And says make sure USB is plugged in blah blah.. Yet it is. Whats the deal

Rooting the EVO
On friday a friedn tried to root my EVO and was using simple root, and he couldn't get it to work. I'm not sure how far he got but here is what I know so far, and what i've tried to get it to root. Please offer instructions on what I should do to get rooted and get a good ROM loaded to the phone. Though I am not technologically ignorant, I have never rooted a phone, and I am not a programmer. Please dumb down your instruction for a noob.

Steps I have attempted
1 - Tried the method here...
ht tp : // forum. ppcgeeks. com / showthread.php ? t = 123714
(remove spaces to activate link, i'm new so i can't post links in messages)
and got stuck at step 1F because the phone never asked if I wanted to start the update, just got the “main version is older” error
2 - Tried Simplerootfull.2
Had error with .net framework v4. Something or other, downloaded newest version and then I was able to install the program. However, on step1 I got the “Main Version Older” error.
3 – Tried This
ht tp : // forum. xda- developers . com / showthread . php ? t = 739321
(remove spaces to activate link, i'm new so i can't post links in messages)
Which is specifically suppsed to address the “Main Version is Older” error
Step 1 – Im pretty suyre I already had this ROM installed, because it installed 1.47.651.1, Radio 2.05.00.06.10 and CL195459, which I already had installed, as you can see above. I did the update anyway, and it completed with a picture of the phone and a green circle with several arrows, then I got the white HTC Evo Screen and sprint boot sounds etc.
Step 2 – Completed Succesfully
Step 3 – running reflash.exe automatically starts unrevoked3, which reboots the phone to the HBOOT screen, and it tries to load the pcimg file that I already had on the card, gives me the Main Version is Older Message, I then select, Vol Down, to tell it not to reboot. Then I follow the onscreen instruction in unrevoked3, which tells me to “Press Volume down to choose “HBOOT USB” and then press power. Make Sure driver is installed!” I can only guess it's talking about the driver to communicate with the PC, but whatever the intent, I still get the “Main Version is Older!” error.
I guess I don't understand something fundamental to this process, because i've now tried three different methods to root this phone, one that was SPECIFICALLY supposed to address the “Main Version is Older!” error message, and i'm still stuck at square one. I appreciate all the help I can get.
While i'm waiting for a reply for this, i'm going to delete all the files i've copied to the root of the sdcard and try again. Stop me if im about to screw something up....
Thanks
Chris
So I deleted all the files I copied to the sdcard myself, and then ran reflash again. This time there was no pcimg to attempt to load, so I was able to do what it required, and it looks like it tried to run hboot using the android drivers through the USB cable. I had to install the android drivers in the middle of this step but it appeared to work.
Step 4 – Appears to have worked, but unrevoked is still “Waiting for reboot...” so i'm not sure if it got it all done or not...
Step 5 – Enabled USB Drive.
Step 6 – File Copied Succesfully
Step 7 – When I select recovery from the options, I get the regular green headers across the top of the HBOOT screen, and then highlighted red I see
FASTBOOT USB
but I dont see any option that says “clear user data and cache” or the option to install a .ZIP file from the SD Card. I'm going to try and do reflash again.
Yes, i know usb debug is checked.
I tried to use simpleroot, and it goes smoothly up until the last step when it says wait till it goes to the white screen with the skateboarding android. It never goes there and when I try to do it manualy it still does main version is older.
i think I'm making progress
Ok this time I got past the waiting for reboot message in unrevoked, and got the
“Waiting 5 seconds because windows sucks”
then got
“Communications with Phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try Again”
both in the unrevoked windows in, well, Windows
on the phone however, I see the Clockwork Recovery v2.5.0.1 and I now see some of the options that I did not before. However the wording is slightly different. I've got
wipe data/factory reset (instead of clear the user data)
wipe cache ( instead of clear cache)
Install zip from sdcard.
So I guess now i'll go back to Step 8, and do those steps.
Step 8 – since I didn't have “clear the user data” I selected “wipe data/factory reset”
It formatted my sdcard, I'm gonna be really unhappy if that wiped my backups of my SMS messges and Call Log. I needed that info in there, that's why I backed it up.
I selected “wipe cache partition”, even though it said it was formatting the cache in the previous step.
Nothing noteworthy after that action.
Step 9 – since the instruction are a little unclear as to exactly how to do this I just selected “install zip from sdcard”, followed by “choose zip from sdcard”
I did see that it did not remove the calllogbackup folder or smsbackup folders, so I hope that those contents are still intact. It also found the 3-ROM_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip file that I copied to the sdcard before I did the wiping operations, so i'm assuming my concerns, at this point, are unwarranted. I still feel better when I can see my sms and call logs in the phone though.
Ok it appears like i've got a “Install from from sdcard complete.” message with no errors that I can see...
So “reboot the phone from the options on the Recovery Program” doesn't appear to be a available selection, so i'll pick “Go Back” and then “Reboot Now”
I have confirmed at this point that I have the following changes in Software Information
Kernel Version
2.6.29-a2443432
[email protected] # 1
Build Number
1.32.651.1 CL171253 release-keys
Software Number
1.32.651.1
So it appears that i've done the following
1 – rooted the EVO
2 - Installed the custom recovery “Clockworkrecovery”
3 – Downgraded to OS 1.32.651.1
Yay!
On to step 10...
Step 10 - Running Simpleroot, and it is giving me lots of “Good!” messages, I'll take that as a good sign. It's loading the PC36IMG.zip like it did before, crossedfingers hoping for no “Main Version is Older Error”
…...
Sweet! I Got the “Do you want to start Update?” so I guess that means I am progressing in the right directino
TP (it looks like it skipped this one altogether, there is no message to the right of it...)
TP “Bypassed”
Update Complete do you want to reboot the device?
Yes I do, and it booted just fine, and then I was able to Flash to the updated ClockworkMod Recovery v1.8.2.2. Success!!!
Thanks for the help with this OP, i hope my extra notes help anyone who got stuck where i did!
Now i just need to decide what custom rom i want to run.
Thank you SO MUCH!!!! I was beating my head against the wall all night trying to use the OTA 1.47 SimpleRoot. This worked like a charm!!
Im still not even able to get past Step 1 by using the .exe to factory restore..

[help] HTC Desire Can't Enter Recovery Mode and Clockworkmod

Hi guys, i am a newbie here.
Last night i was trying to root my desire using unrevoked. I followed the guide from XDA step by step and everything seemed fine until word "done" appear in unrevoked.
After that, desire supposed to enter recovery mode and clockworkdmod but there was nothing appear in the screen. My desire suddenly shut down.
Can you tell me what am i suppose to do then because i want to put custom rom in my desire and now there's nothing i can do because it can't enter recovery mode (it only able to enter bootloader or Android OS itself).
Thanks

when you are in boot loader, use the volume down key and goto recovery and git power button. you should then be taken to clockwork recovery. this is where you can select your rom from SD card and flash
I've tried to do that and now it stuck in HTC Logo. Doest it mean i've to try unrevoked again or simply unroot it?
try rebooting by taking battery off. i'm not an expert but you might have to do it manually using the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
did you install the unrevoked drivers?
Okay i will try. Btw, in case i want to unroot, can you tell me where i can get "RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.2 8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179" ? The link from XDA seems down and i can download any.
Me and another member have encountered the same issue, seems there's some bug in HBOOT or something.
Boot into Android, go to Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset. Once you confirm it, it will reboot your phone into Recovery.
BUT, unless you re-format (partition) your SD Card, you won't be able to get back in again (unless you do the Factory data reset again).
This seems to happen randomly. Right now I can get into Recovery just fine. But once the bug occurs, the only way to get it to stop is to format your SD card.
Now i am thinking to unroot it than trying to do the whole rooting step all over again. Can you tell me where i can get the RUU for HTC Desire Asia

Here you go:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179_signed.exe
Okay, i've done unrooting with HTC Desire RUU Asi and what happen now my SLCD is brick. I am really hopeless right now because guide for "SLCD Brick" doesn't even work in my phone because once again my htc can't enter recovery mode ><
"I am trying to use the guide from sprinker right now. Hopefully it will work"
when you are in hboot the volume down/up button work?
Hi all,
I also have the problem that I can no longer enter the recovery mode on my desire.
Basically, whenever I am in the bootloader menu (either by pressing vol-down+power, return+power, or via ROMManager) and then select "recovery" I get right back to the "fastboot" screen.
I tried uninstalling/installing/upgrading ROMManager and also tried flashing clockwork via the newest version of Unrevoked (downloaded yesterday).
Nothing helps :-(
What I didn't try, yet, is reformatting my SDCard or resetting my device via "Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset". (I don't want to install all my apps >again<; I'm also a bit afraid that I break something an then cannot even reflash using recovery).
Here is some more info about my device:
- Flashed rom: Leedroid 2.1a
- HBOOT 0.83.0001
- RADIO 5.10.05.23
I would be really greatful if anyone had a solution for this problem.
P.s.: in case I HAVE to reset/format: can I somehow make a backup of all my apps&settings?
Hi all, I have the same problem now.
Everything works, after s-off, except I can no longer enter Recovery - any solution?
I didn't find an easy solution. I had to do the following (some steps might be optional but I wanted to be sure):
- Formated SD card (ext3 and fat partition)
- Complete reset via RUU (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe)
- Using unrevoked to reinstall recovery rom
- Reinstalled my custom rom (Leedroid)
Now everything works.
BTW: via TitaniumBackup I could backup all my apps and data quite easily. Didn't expect it to work that well
thanks- what about s-off - is it working now for you?
"s-off" = ?
I Have a similar problem... I can't enter recovery. When i press "recovery mode", I just get a black screen with a phone and a "!" in it.
Have to pull battery to reboot desire.
I have formatted sd.
Quite annoying, cause I need to wipe my battery stats, and I don't know any other way to do it, than going to recovery.
I tried to update ROM to Cyanogenrom which was unsuccessful - just get boot loop.
I also get the same 'red triangle with exclamation mark on phone' icon when trying to go to recovery mode.
So now I have a Desire which boot loops and cant enter recovery mode ...
anyone know how to get out of this one?
This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
This should bring back your phone to stock. Root your phone again after it is done
i have the same issue. but i got stuck when trying to partition my sd card. Now i can't enter Android itself only the bootloader. But i also lost my clockwork recovery...
it keeps looping the HTC Quitly brilliant bootscreen... Forever!
i am now formatting my sd card with my pc. will i then be able to go into recovery again using a zip file from clockwork i found? using this:
fake-flash
Fake-flash is only possible with root access, you need to be rooted to use it. Basically, its a way to have recovery running on the phone without using a PC (making it safer as you are less likely to brick using no USB cable to push files, instead, you push directly from your phone). You can use "ROM Manager" from the marketplace to do this. Simply place the downloaded test recovery image on the phone and the downloaded rom zip (renamed to update.zip) and flash using ROM Manager.
Preperation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then installing a ROM with it?
(sry for bad english)
i'm having the exact same problem. i've tried fake flash and it does nothing for me, so does flashing the clockwork recovery image. the only one i haven't used yet is the downgrade...hope that will help

[HOW TO] Unlock bootloader, Root, Flash Custom ROM, Flash Kernel And More!

Post 1: How to unlock your bootloader, flash a recovery and root
Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Post 4: How to ADB Sideload a ROM
Alright. This is for everyone who wants to root their phone. I've seen MULTIPLE threads of the same question "Can I root my phone and How do I do it". So I hope I never have to see it again! In this tutorial, I use use my toolkit as the way to root. Doing it manually takes forever and that is why I made my toolkit.
Requirements:
HTC One X (charged to at least 70%)
Windows XP,Vista,7 (8 is not officially supported since I don't have the drivers)
USB cable
Ability to read and follow step-by-step
Understanding that I am no way guaranteeing anything. If you screw up your phone, you probably didn't follow my steps and made a foolish mistake.
Let's begin.
Download my toolkit from here.
Link 1 and Link 2
Extract the FOLDER to your C: drive or to your desktop.
MAKE SURE YOUR DIRECTORY DOES NOT HAVE A PERIOD OR SPACE.
Open One X.exe
So now you have my program open. Great.
On your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
From my toolkit, Click 1. Install HTC Drivers.
After the drivers install, restart your computer.
After your computer loads up, open my toolkit and connect your phone to the computer. Your phone should now be recognized.
Now, click 2. Register at HTCDev. Register with a VALID email address and LEAVE the web browser open.
Now, under the commands section of my toolkit, press Boot into Bootloader.
You should have a nice, white, shiny screen that says FASTBOOT USB.
Click 3. Get Token ID. Look at the pop up and it will tell you how to get the Token ID.
Highlight where it says < < < < Identifier Token Start > > > > all the way to < < < < < Identifier Token End > > > > > and right click and it will automatically copy it.
Now, click Submit Token ID. Your web browser should now open a new tab. Scroll down and in the empty box, paste your Token ID. Press submit. HTCDev now emailed you your unlock token.
Your phone should still be in the bootloader. Now, go to the email address you registered to HTCDev and DOWNLOAD your unlock_code.bin. Press 5. Unlock Bootloader. Locate your unlock_code.bin and it will flash it to your phone.
READ the warning. THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM THE PHONE.
When you agree to it, press the volume up button and press the power button to accept it. Your phone will now restart.
When your phone loads up, go through the set up wizard. Then, on your phone, go to Settings -> Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging.
Under the Extras section, press Perm Root. It will push SuperSU.zip to your phone.
Under commands, press Boot into Bootloader once again.
Now, it is time to flash a recovery.
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that will allow you to flash custom ROMs, Mods, etc.
CWM (ClockWorkMod) is a custom recovery that will allow you to flash custom ROMs, Mods, etc.
I recommend TWRP and we will use it for this tutorial,
Select TWRP and press Flash Recovery.
After it flashes, remove the USB cable and have HBOOT selected in bootloader. Press the power button and it will reload to another screen. Press the Volume Down button until you get to Recovery. Press the power button to select it.
Go to Backup and back up your boot and system partition. Always have a back up before you flash or do anything.
After that, go to Install and locate SuperSU.zip. Click it and slide the screen on the bottom to flash it. After it flashes, reboot the phone.
In your app drawer (your menu with all the apps), open SuperSU. If it says the binary needs to be updated, then update it. If it doesn't, then you are fully rooted!
Post 2: How to flash a custom ROM and kernel (boot.img)
The fun part! Now, I will teach you how to flash a ROM and boot.img
Find a ROM you like, the first thing you should do is make sure it is COMPATIBLE with your phone. If you find a ROM that is for AT&T (Evita) and you have the International model (Tegra3), don't be an idiot and flash it. I will not help you with that since you already agreed to my warning from the first post.
International models won't work on an AT&T HOX and Vice Versa.
Also, DO NOT ASK IF YOU CAN FLASH A ROM FROM ANOTHER DEVICE!
Will it work? NO! Will it ever work? NO! Can I flash it anyways? Brick your device, I don't care. I warned you.
Let's get back on task. So you found the ROM you want to try, so go ahead and download it. KEEP THE THREAD OPEN! MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING AND REREAD IT AGAIN! READ WHAT USERS SAID ABOUT IT AND ABOUT BUGS! GO AHEAD AND READ THE WHOLE ENTIRE THREAD! GAIN KNOWLEDGE!!
Connect your USB cable to your phone. View the folders on your phone. I like to make a folder called ROMs on my phone and transfer it in there.
After you transfer it, open my toolkit and press Boot into Recovery. When you are in TWRP, MAKE A BACKUP!!!
After you make a backup AKA a Nandroid, click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
So you wiped everything. Great. Your phone is ROMless, Yay!
Now go back and press install. Go to the folder where the ROM you downloaded, is located in. Select the ROM and slide the screen to flash it. After it flashes, press the back button. Press Reboot and Reboot into bootloader. Open the ROM you downloaded from your computer. You should see boot.img. Extract it to your computer. Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
After it flashes, press reboot from the phone.
Congrats! Enjoy your fully working or borked ROM! Remember, DO NOT ASK FOR ETAs, DO NOT BUG/PM A DEV ABOUT UPDATES, and BE RESPECTFUL TO THE DEVELOPERS!
Post 3: How to reverse everything and go back to stock
Now, let's talk about getting back to stock. There are 2 ways to do this.
1. Flash the stock RUU (If available) (Recommended)
2. Restore your Nandroid (backup that I told you to make earlier)
1. I'll talk about flashing the stock RUU first.
Go here and download the RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
Download the correct RUU for your phone.
Now, back up all your data (pictures, contacts, etc) since this will put your phone back to complete stock.
Connect the USB cable to your phone. Press Boot into Bootloader.
It should now say FASTBOOT USB on your screen.
Press Relock bootloader. It may give you a security warning error or it may say failed. Who cares, ignore it. It's normal.
Your phone will boot up normally.
When the phone is fully loaded. Unplug and replug the USB cable back in the phone. Now,run the RUU you downloaded and follow the instructions.
Your phone will be back to stock.
2. Now, we will talk about restoring your nandroid backup.
Connect your phone to the computer. Open up the folder to view the files on your phone.
From your computer, Go to TWRP -> BACKUPS -> (Your hardware Serial Number) -> (Folder you wish to restore to) -> and copy boot.emmc.win to your computer. Rename boot..emmc.win to boot.img
Open my toolkit and press boot into recovery.
Click Wipe. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. NOTHING ELSE! If you click anything else, IT WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE ISSUES ON YOUR HEAD!
Press back and press Restore. Choose the backup to restore to.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You are now back to your stock Nandroid.
4. How to use ADB Sideload
You may have seen what ADB Sideload around the forums but have no idea what it is. Since the HOX does not have an SD card, it makes things harder when you have to flash a ROM.
Here's a scenario when we need to use ADB Sideload.
1. You accidentally wiped your internal SD and have no ROM on your phone
2. You wiped your ROM and forgot to transfer a custom ROM/have no backups(Nandroid) available.
3, You have none of the above and there is no available RUU for your phone. <----- This is a real bummer.
Here are the steps to load on a ROM
I placed TWRP in my toolkit for a reason. CWM does not support ADB Sideload (as far as I know) and TWRP does.
Boot into recovery manually. Turn your device off and hold the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button together until the BOOTLOADER pops up. Press the VOLUME DOWN button until you have selected RECOVERY. Press the POWER button to get into RECOVERY.
Connect the USB Cable to your phone and computer.
In TWRP, click "Advanced" and select ADB Sideload.
Download a ROM to your computer (if you haven't already done so). Rename it as one word. For example CM10.zip, QX.zip, ARHD.zip, etc.
In my toolkit, under the extras section, press ADB Sideload a ROM. Press "Yes" when it asks you if you are in recovery. Then select the ROM you want to install. It will then sideload it to your phone and flash it.
After it finishes, press the back button. Press Reboot and select bootloader.
Pull the boot.img from the zip file and extract it.
Open my toolkit and press Flash a Kernel. Locate the boot.img and it will flash it.
You now have a ROM on your phone!
1 more, just in case.
and yes, i know. Wrong section. posted here by accident.
thanksss
Thanks for the info you provided.
Hasoon, quick suggestion.
As much as I think your info is quality, I think you should add some screenshots.
If anyone's like me I hate reading massive paragraphs of instructions.
Remember - A picture can speak 1000 words
Thanks though.
Dear hasoon2000

You won't be able to get official OTA updates after you have flashed a custom rom.
My experience is that even rooting is tricky for official Firmware upgrades.
Even tough there are some ROM's on XDA that have OTA support!
Thanks! Works fine for me!
When you say THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM THE PHONE in post 1, does that include sdcard data, photos, music etc?
Since USB mass storage is not available, I've tried using android file transfer to backup my files before unlocking boot loader. Its not working though. Any way to do this?

Root guide for Byond MI Book MI3 (CWM recovery and ROM DUMP included)

First things first:
1. Rooting essentially means you are fiddling with the installed OS. This may at times turn ugly and may result in permanent bricking of your phone (simple terms: your device will be dead, wont boot up).
2. Most companies do not entertain warranty claims for a rooted device, obviously because you have unlocked their software.
Ready to take the above risks?? Read On:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
ROOTING GUIDE:
1. Charge your device to 100%
2. Go to settings/development and check the USB debugging mode to : Enabled.
3. If you have never ever connected your device to PC, connect it via USB cable. You will see that the drivers for your device will get installed.
4. Download UnlockRoot Pro v3.2 (free version) from : http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html
5. Run UnlockRoot.
6. Click root device on left panel of the UnlockRoot UI.
7. Wait till it says : your device is rooted.
8. Your device 'may' restart. Let it restart.
9. Check for 'Superuser' app in your app drawer.
10. Can you see 'Super User' app?? Congo!! Your device is now rooted.
Hey Wait !! Since you are now rooted. You can now install ClockWorkMod recovery on your device. With all the tinkering you will now do on your device, since its rooted, it becomes very important to install a 'System Backing up' tool on you phone. Every time you want to fiddle with your system, make a back up of your entire device (includes OS/Settings/Apps/Data) on an external SD card; so that if something goes wrong, you can restore your backup and your device will be good again (just like recovery point system in Windows OS).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
INSTALLING CWM and MAKING BACKUP.
1. Be doubly sure that your phone is rooted and charged to 100%.
2. Download CWM.zip file from the attachments at the end of this post.
3. Transfer the CWM.zip file to the external memory card on you device, with the help of USB cable.
4. Switch off your device.
5. Press power + volume (-) button together until you see an android logo. The moment you see the logo, release the buttons.
6. You will next see an android bot logo, with his heart ripped and and exclamation mark on it. He's heart broken that you are fiddling with him.
7. Dont freak out. Now press volume (-) button again and you will see the default recovery manager.
8. Scroll down by pressing volume (-) button, to 'install zip from ext card' option.
9. Select this option by pressing volume (+) button.
10. A new window will open.
11. Scroll down to install from 'external storage' option. Press volume (+) button to select.
12. A new window showing all contents of your SD card will come up.
13. Scroll down and select CWM.zip file. Press volume (+) button to select.
14. The zip will get installed. A new windows will open up showing the CWM recovery manager.
15. Congo !
16. Now lets take 1st backup of your System. Scroll down to backup/restore option and press power button to select.
17. Scroll down to backup and select. Backing up will start. Once finished you will be redirected to the home window of CWM.
18. Now. Scroll down to reboot system option. Press POWER button to select.
19. Your system will shut down. Manually boot up your device again.
* Be careful with the controls for 'scroll' and 'select' in default and CWM recovery. Both are different. Follow the above instructions carefully. * Every time you want to back up/restore your system you have to repeat the above steps. I have not flashed the default recovery with the CWM, so that you always have the stock recovery working, in case everything else fails.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
TO RESTORE A SYSTEM IMAGE YOU CREATED EARLIER WITH CWM.
1. Follow steps 1 - 15 in the above tut.
2. Once you are in CWM recovery. Scroll down to backup/restore option and press power button to select.
3. Scroll down to 'Restore' option and select.
4. Choose the backup image you want to restore. Press power button to select.
5. System restore will start and finish.
6. Reboot.
Always do a backup before you try to uninstall any system app. Never uninstall any app about which you are not sure, what it does. Follow your gut feeling.

Does the stock recovery gets totally replaced wen u flash with CWM or can u revert back to stock recovery later if needed?
Also can u create a flashable zip file or tpt of the stock recovery? It would be great.
Sorry I m a noob dont know anything about android development but just basics of rooting and flashing.

This problem has been occuring in all mi3 tablets. I had contacted ByondTech Customer Support.
NO NEED TO ROOT TABLET FOR THIS PROBLEM.
They emailed me an update patch which again enabled Google Account access.
update.zip
Select and apply the update.zip file. [For steps check the first post for applying CWM. Similar steps just instead of CWM.zip here file name is update.zip]
Reboot and then you will be able to access Google AC, Play Store, Gmail, etc.
Thanks a lot for Update.zip

Byond Mi1 - Lying Android Bot with exclamation mark
Hello,
my topic doesn't fit perfectly, but after pressing the home and power button on the Mi1 for a few seconds, I have an Android Bot lying on his back with an exclamation mark above him.
Since the Mi1 has only a power button, a home button and a reset button, I don't know how to get it out of this state. If anyone has experienced this, and has a cure, I would be more than happy to hear about it.
I went to the local Byond support center, but they were actually not a support center anymore, they said. And searches on the net only found the same questions, but no answers. Before I try to run to other support centers in the bigger cities, I would like to try my luck here.
Thanks for listening

Hi,
First, there's no RUU for any 4.2.x Rom, and since you updated your hboot, you won't be able to use any of the available RUUs.
Your options are as follows:
1. Restore a nandroid backup, or, if you haven't one, download one from this One X forum.
2. Install ClockworkMod recovery, connect your phone to a computer and mount it as a USB drive, copy over your last Rom to your phone, then flash it and profit.
Note: After flashing the rom, CWM will prompt you to install ROOT, say yes and you're*rooted.
I hope this helps,
Cheers...
P.S. a simple thank you will do

Ok, lets go with option 2:
---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------
1. Start with creating a fresh new folder on your favorite computer's c:\ drive (yes, you can name it "fresh").
2. Download the following files and put them all in your c:\fresh folder
A. Download Clockwork recovery from:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img and rename it
to CWM.img
B. Since your firmware (boot & hboot images) are only compatible with the latest 4.18.x ROM, you should download
this STOCK 4.18.401 ROM:
http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=One_X_4.18.401.2_odexed.zip
C. You really want ROOT access, so download this:
http://xda7.androidrevolution.nl/db...ns/Android_Revolution_HD_Root_and_BusyBox.zip
3. You're now ready to put your phone back in action, so let's get to work:
A. Turn your phone OFF by holding Power button for 10 seconds, as soon as its off, hold down the "Volume Down"
key to start in Hboot, then go into Fastboot.
B. Connect your phone to your computer, open a command prompt window as administrator, and issue a
"cd c:\fresh" command.
C. Install ClockworkMod recovery by typing: fastboot flash recovery cwm.img
D. When flashing is done (successfully), disconnect your phone, Restart it and choose recovery. Wait until recovery
is loaded, then connect your phone to your computer, and on your phone, select "mounts and storage", then
select "mount usb...". Your phone should now appear as a new USB drive on your computer.
E. copy the rom you downloaded (One_X_4.18.401.2_odexed.zip) from your c:\fresh\ folder to your phone's
mounted drive (in my computer).
F. Select Unmount on your phone, and navigate back to CWM's top menue, select install zip from sdcard, and select
the ROM file you just copied from your computer to flash it.
G. When you're done flashing the ROM, flash "Android_Revolution_HD_Root_and_BusyBox.zip" to gain root.
H. Restart your phone and wait for your brand new ROM to boot.
I. PROFIT!!!!
Let me know how that goes... and, once more, a simple "thank you" will do.
Wait wait waittttt !!!
