Is there a way to check if my phone has successfully rooted i.e. what would show in the software section of "about phone" and how would that differ from the standard generic rom?
Had a coupld of error during rooting but it appeared to go all the way through but just want to make sure!
Thanks
Youll have a programme called superuser permissions!
Lets hope we beat fulham on sunday
Spot on, I'm rooted! Only issue now is that I can't get into recovery mode on my windows 7 machine. Had to borrow a mates xp machine which I now don't have access to so bugger all point rooting seen as I can't install custom roms!
Are we likely to eventually get the ability to flash straight from the memory card?
Bit nervous about the weekend, if we slip up Tottenham will go 3rd. Not sure I could live with the shame!
you could install ubuntu? its a small os. you literally download wubi and it does it all for you!
lol yes i know! we should win though, andrei is back lol

huh? I still can get into the recovery mode using windows 7 64 bit without problem. just make sure u run as administrator.
Can't get it to work on windows 7 for love nor money! Using 64 bit edition if it makes any odds. I assumed that I was running as admin but just in case, how would I make 100% sure? Basically fails to connect every time.
Made a bootable usb with Linux on it but had no idea what I was doing once I got in! Tried running the recovery-linux.sh file in the terminal but no luck! Terminal popped up and disappeared just as quickly. Couldn't work out how to run it direct from the terminal to see the feedback!
Does the phone get recognized by your computer before you run the recovery? Do you hear the USB duh-duh device connected sound? If it fails to connect, it's just because USB hasn't found it yet. Give it a minute or check if it's missing drivers. You can ensure you're running as admin by just right clicking and selecting run as adminstrator. It should pop up a box asking if you're sure.
I routinely get into recovery on x64 Win 7, so it's not an OS thing. Keep at it, you can use your own computer.

Right click on command prompt, choose run as administrator i think.
Phone is connected and I can see it in devices and printers section. All drivers are installed as well. Not sure what the issue is. I'm also unable to connect to HTC sync. Had the phone replaced so its not a hardware issue. Very frustrating!
I've head of this coming up, i just did step 1 of pauls root method, i clicked recovery and now a red triangle has appeared.
What do I do to get back to normal??
Battery out

Do you have HTC Sync installed? I think you have a driver issue there. Also try unplugging the usb lead and trying another port on your pc. If all else fails, the red triangle is a safe place to just remove the battery and start again.
Firstly you should install HTC Sync on your PC and ensure that you have USB drivers loaded for your android device. The correct drivers should be in the C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x86 folder.
Once that is established, remove and reinsert the USB cable a few times to make sure the driver is loaded and active. Then run the recovery-windows.bat from the cmd box.
then you will get the screen on your phone, using the optical trackpad select wipe, then flash from SD card. Then you are good to go.
I did this yesterday and ran into the same issues as you.
BTW I base this on using Windows 7 32bit.

thanks a lot mate, i pulled the battery out and im back to normal.
yeh i think its a htc sync issue too. I have htc sync installed, but after i did step 1 (or 2 i cant remember) the computer came up with the install new hardware wizard
Better doing it via the TinyCore linux method - Windows method doesn't work properly (for me anyway). Recovery in Windows is fine, though

If you know how to burn a cd you could go over to modaco and there is a thread by craigcrawford about rooting using the r3 method.. basically if you follow that you will have linux running from the disc and all the files needed are on it also. I've never used linux before and found it really easy. That way you won't run into any driver issues.
Just be careful, take your time and always remember that there are now over 60 confirmed handsets that are usb bricked!
Good luck

Yeah I think this is where I am having the problem. When I connect my phone to my pc it has the popup saying android phone connected, but HTC Sync still says "disconnected"
I'll try some stuff.

Also just try a simple reboot of your pc to stop any old adb stuff running and it might help clear any driver issues.

Make sure when you boot the phone up into recovery that you leave the USB cable disconnected and only reconnect once the red triangle appears.
I find if I leave it in, when it starts to boot on the HTC screen Windows goes a bit funny and fails to install the driver.

it's pulled? i downloaded it last night for ****s and gigs, and I have windows 7, it read my phone, but my hboot is now .96 and said was looking for .97... it took me a while to realize how to use it by putting it in ur platform-tools folder inside of adb,
I also have linux instaleld on my laptop, have you tried installed VMware and giving linux a shot to root it? might be worth it EDIT: lol I didn't see this was for windows. my bad.

For all you windows users, i had never touched linux before last night and i installed ubuntu and booted it from my flash drive and had my phone rooted easily. Don't be afraid to try it, it was alot easier then i thought it would be.
You can always jump into the alpharev irc channel and get help, those guys were great help to all of us that were new to linux.

It's been working for me. Try uninstalling all HTC/Android-related drivers and reinstalling if you want to be careful.
No. I downloaded the windows aplharevx tool last week then when I seen it was released l couldn't download it cause it was not avail. So I ran the old one and entered the key into the windows program. . Has something to do with the drivers in hboot I think is the reason the windows s-off program is under review

I had the same issue on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I followed a youtube vid and it worked fine after that. I can't post links yet cause I'm too much of a n00b. So go to youtube and search for a video called: "How to install Android ADB/USB Drivers" by speedy0339. The download link for the 32 bit and 64 bit driver is in the description.
Hope that works for you.

Pop in the Ubuntu Live CD
Boot to it
Select "Try Ubuntu"
When loaded, connect your phone with debugging enabled.
Download the alpharevx package from their site. It went into the Downloads folder by default for me.
Drag it to the desktop
Right click and extract archive (this should make a little "alpharevx" file appear in the Desktop)
Right click on that file and in Properties, copy the file path
Open terminal
Use "cd.." (When I put something in quotes, you type what is in the quotes, not the quotes themselves) then Enter until you are at just the prompt with no path after it. for example.. C:\whatever... do a "cd.." and Enter and it will say just C:
Once you are at just the prompt, type "cd (paste path you copied from file)" and then hit Enter.
You can now type "su ./aplharevx" and hit Enter and it should execute the program. I did not have to type "sudo" only "su"
Make sure when it prompts you to install ClockworkMod, you put a CAPITAL "Y" or it will not install.
That should be it.
Hello!!
Well, hey guys. I thought I tell you the story, on why I posted this thread.
It started as I was installing Windows 8, on my laptop, and had the same problem, as some others. I just could not install the drivers, for my Droid, so I had a looksee and found that Windows 8 didn't yet have the capability, to download unsigned drivers, unlike Windows 7. So, I found a way of "tricking" Windows, into thinking, that these drivers are legit and it isn't forbidden to use, which is exactly what this tutorial tells Windows, in a way.
So, get going and use the full potential of your Android device!
Tutorial:
I have found a solution, to the following problem;
After installing Windows 8, you cannot install fastboot drivers, but it recognizes the ADB drivers...
Solution:
Open the dev-manager, by typing following, in a command prompt window, or the run dialog. Whichever you prefer... : devmgmt.msc
Now, the dive manager, should pop up.
Install ADB drivers, (If you do not have them present, download them here/
To prevent confusion: When I say install, it can mean unpack, or instal... Quick tip: An installer does nothing, apart from unpacking files, to allocated space, on your computer
Download USB drivers, from here. (Link fixed)
Should you NOT have drivers installed:
Install the USB drivers, and download ADB/fastboot drivers.
Installation of ADB/fastboot drivers:
Open the device manager, and look for "Samsung Mobile Device", or "Unidentified Device". You can make your search easier, by unplugging the phone, whilst in device manager, then plug it back in, and see what's changed...
Once you have found your phone, Perform a right-click, on the device. Select : "Update device drivers", once the dialog has poped up, choose "Browse my computer" and goto your dsktop, where you have installed the files to.
Open just the "drivers" folder, nothing else...
Select OK, then wait for installation to finish.
Once that has been done, you need to reboot your device, into bootloader mode; do this by typing
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\adb reboot-bootloader
adb reboot-bootloader
into the command prompt (download & install this, if you want to do it the cmd-way...)
Or, turn off your phone, and reboot i it manually into bootloader-mode, by pressing
Code:
VOL UP +DWM & PWR
together, untill phone vibrates...
Once the phone is in bootloader, go back to the device manager, and look for a device named "android 1.0". Perform a right-click on this and select "Update device drivers". Again, selct "Browse my computer", but, instead of clicking on "Browse" and selecting the folder, again, select "Let me pick, from a list of drivers." Once the menu has popped up, select "Samsung Android ADB interface". Click OK, and wait for the drivers to install . Then, you're done. You have then successfully installed the ADB + fastboot drivers correctly, to test this, open a cmd window, and type following:
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\
fastboot devices.
If your device shows up, then you have done it!!
Now type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb kill-server
Note: while the phone is booting (If you typed "adb wait-for-device") A cursor will blink, wait for that, to stop blinking, then type the next command
I hope you learned, from this tutorial!! Check my root helper out, if you have enough time
Should you have problems, in recovery, open your dev. manager, and look for following device:
Code:
Full
Select, right-click. Update driver (blah, blah, witter, droan)
Browse my computer -> Let me pick -> Samsung ADB -> Done. You have enabled the ADB drivers, on your SAMUNG GALAXY NEXUS!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Addition: You can only reboot into bootloader, if you are using a motorola, Google or HTC branded Android device! This will NOT work with Samsung models (i.e. Galaxy S II/III) due to the fact, that they use Odin mode. Should the drivers need updating, for some devices, please let me know!
Motorola Razr
Hello, I was wondering if this would work for the Motorola drivers. I've been trying to install them so that I can fastboot my Razr, but it quits right after it recognizes that I'm on Windows 8.
I guess I might as well just try it in the meantime!

Edit: In the ADB drivers link you posted, there's nothing to install. Just .sys files, .dlls, two .cat files, and some .infs. How exactly does one do anything with these files? Also, your second link for USB drivers was removed by mediafire.

Download MotoHelper. Right click the file and run in compatibility mode. It should install the drivers. I used this to run fastboot with my xoom.
It still hangs while running as admin under compatability mode for 7, I'll try as XP momentarily.
Edit: XP compatability didn't work either.

First of all, thanks, for letting me know about the link It's uploading again ^^
Yes, you can do the same for your Motorola. But only with the ADB drivers. Just do the same as with the Samsung. Select your device, form the devman. and right click. Update device drivers -> Browse -> Let me choose from a list... -> Samsnung ADB interface.
They are all provided by Google, inc. so, they are compatible, with every Android device. I've even used my Samsung ADB drivers, for a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. So I can actually say, for myself, that they work. You then can work, using fastboot... ^^
Have fun fastbooting!

To your edit. You have extracted the files. This is also called "installing" because you have extracted NEEDED files. Even when you extract a .zip/.rar/.tar/.tar.gz and so on, because you need files out of them, you are installing, but not to the system, but to yourself
Sorry for bringing up an old post, but this method is not working for me on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. When I'm trying to install the ADB drivers, it says the drivers cannot be installed because it's not digitally signed.
UPDATE: I got it to work by disabling the Digital Signature Enforcement on Windows 8. Steps: Restart Windows > Boot loader Menu > Other Options > Advance Options > *Computer Automatically Restarts* > Press F7 to Disable Digital Signature Enforcement

Yes, it should work with all Android-modification applications. I have never really had problems, with Odin, with any version of Windows, mainly because this is the first thing I do, on any of my Windows machines, but it is always worth a try Tell us, what you have found out!

Dropped phone, broken screen/digitizer, doesn't respond to touch
Was able to see the screen a bit yesterday but now its almost all black. I mainly just need my photos off it. Tried an RMA to replace the screen but they said they had to wipe everything first
Is there any way I can pull the photos off it? I haven't tried an otg yet, but I also can't see the screen, so im not sure it would help
Is there a screen sharing program I could get w/o first installing it on my phone?
I think my phone may be rooted, i forget if i ever did, but i dont have TWRP installed on it? (i dont super know what that is but i see other people talking about it)
Any thoughts on how to pull photos off it? I tried the adb devices but the cmd prompt doesn't seem to recognize the phone
Im quite sure I have debugging enabled, just coudln't get the file transfer button hit

Sorry, can't give definite answer, I know that I had an issue with drivers (device wasn't properly recognized) and tried pretty much everything that Google suggested ... Until it finally started working. I have no idea exactly what solved the issue, it was over a year and a half ago. The next time I clean installed Windows (10 in both cases) it was smart enough to automatically find right drivers.
So ... I'm guessing Googling something like "OnePlus 3 Windows # drivers" should find something useful?
About image verification: are you talking about anti-bot system that checks if you're human? Wouldn't know much about that, never personally had issues with it, but also very rarely see it on XDA as I'm nearly always checking this forum in Tapatalk app.

If you had earlier connected your phone to the PC and authorised the PC connection on your phone, then it is a simple issue of disabling driver signature verification on Win 10 and installing the OnePlus drivers on it. Search for and download the correct drivers to your PC. Hold down Shift key and restart the PC. Choose Troubeshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Options and click Restart. On restarting, there will be a list of options. Choose 7 in the Options or click F7 on your keyboard and you will boot into the disabled mode. Now connect your phone and go to Device Manager in PC. Choose the phone which may be showing up as Unknown or with an yellow flag and right click and choose Update Driver. Navigate to the downloaded driver and install it. Now your phone should be properly recognised. Use adb pull command to copy whatever files you need to. Note that this driver signature verification disabling is temporary and when you restart the PC in the normal way, the PC will go back to the normal mode. But the installed drivers will still function.
Hope this helps.

If you had earlier connected your phone to the PC and authorised the PC connection on your phone, then it is a simple issue of disabling driver signature verification on Win 10 and installing the OnePlus drivers on it.

Oh wow, do you know if this works on Win7? And also I can't see my screen at all, so could I do adb pull of entire folder or hardrive kind of thing? I mainly just want phots, but i've never done adb stuff so not sure how it works
Had the same issue with my Lenovo P2. Only i didn't have debugging enabled. If you have, screen mirroring should be an easy solution. You could just see ur phone screen on ur computer that way. What helped me was to forceboot the phone to recovery with the hardware buttons, then connect it to ur pc. TWRP will automatically launch MTP. When u backed up evrything, you can wipe ur device through adb

I don't know about Win 7. It will work on Win 10. Most likely, this should not be needed in Win 7 at all as the drivers should install whether signed or not.
Regarding copying data, a simple command of "adb pull /sdcard" will copy all the folders, files, data etc to your PC. You can also specify where you want the data copied to, simply add the path to the command above. This will work whether your screen works or not. Of course, there are other methods of copying data, you can search for it if you need it.
