[Q] Help needed rooting the my desire Z - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well i finally decided to root the my desire z.. But i am not able to do it.
I am currently in using 1.82 stock firmware.
Following the wiki to root, while trying to downgrade using the goldcard method, I am unable to copy the goldcard data to the removable disk. The Paste Write option is disabled, coz of which i cant copy the data. Have tried as mentioned in both XP and win 7.. So stuck at step 12 of the goldcard method.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503
12) Click on the 'Removable Disk' tab. Highlight offset (line) 00000000 to offset (line) 00000170 (including the 00000170 line), then click on the 'Edit' menu and select 'Paste Write'.

you'll need to run HxD as Administrator and then open card with write permissions, then you should be able to paste.

how did the root work for you? I am nervous to do it...need some guidance i guess

If you are honestly nervous about doing it, try using this guide or perhaps this one. Also there is an IRC channel for helping people. Its #G2ROOT i think on some server.. You'll have to search it since I'm sorta busy right now

yeah, i've done a ton of reading but just get so confused with the amount of info, and what works on this doesnt work with this...so much different than flashing my old touch or diamond, even the samsung omnia was easy compared to this. I'll try your guides. thanks.

If you dont understand anything in the guides just PM me. Because I do understand how hard it can be to root for the first time.

You know it sometimes helps if you post what you did to cause the issue.
And this is the development section, not the Q & A section
It looks like you've tried to do some updating / modding with S-ON.

i try for doing it and informed you
oh no , my god
Computer does not recognize my phone
i can not create goldcard
please help me
Is it possible I use the goldcard friend?
did your computer ever recognize your phone? Try re-installing HTC sync and go to where you have "ADB" installed and do: adb devices
ohh and that error comes from not making the gold card properly. when making your gold card, make sure your phone is in disk mode, not charge!

Odin path enigma in Window 7 64 bit

Guys if you are using Odin to flash Rom or Recovery on Windows 7 64 bit computer then make sure you put the ops and md5 files on the root of C:\
I was trying to flash the CWM recovery but it wasn't successful and when I tried to reboot my phone it was stuck on boot . Then from the instruction of a thread I moved my ops and md5 file to root of C:, and amazingly it worked like a charm.
I thought that I should share it with you guys.
Thanks

I believe you......
but don't believe it is a general widespread, known issue....
as I shown in the pics, screencap taken from my actual first ODIN FW flash on this phone......
Files were anywhere but in root of C:

Thats true, it is some Windows permission issue I think. This doesnt't happen on all PCs, but if it happens it is the easiest solution.
Other programs have also issues with files in some directions/folders.
C:/ is just always mentioned because it is 99% a hard drive, and it has to be in the root of a hard drive(to be sure).

Haha,, you are right. However most of the modern applications that are being written in modern languages dont have such kind of problems. I think Odin is using very old windows API calls for handling files, but i am not sure about it as i dont have source code.
Sent from Hell using Tapatalk
Perhaps, but as ODIN is Samsung tool, I just don't know....
If you look at Service Manual I upped some time ago, in Section 6 Level 1 Repair, you see Samsung use this Multi Downloader for their own service ppl tool........
[this is PDF in Google Docs]
sorry, the manual is all over the place, but ODIN is there!!!
But, as you can see, files could be anywhere, so I don't know.
Anyway, cheers, I have a cold beer waiting!!!!

[Q] Help! I need help rooting an Unlocked Android 4.0.5 Galaxy Phone!

On ebay, I bought a cheap phone from some chinese seller and it arrived.
However, I've tried almost everything in the book! My computer will install the drivers, but they will not work properly. I.e

It detects my phone in UnlockRoot basic version but when I upgraded it to pro, it doesn't even detect it anymore.
SuperOneClick fails as well because I get the "ADB Services: Not found" error every time. Also tried SRSRoot, Androot, and that program by Bin4ry and Poot. My computer/phone isn't detecting or doing something right.
I wasn't too sure where to post this, as my phone seems to be unbranded and I can't find the name.
This is what my phone looks like.
I'm completely clueless with this, as I've worked with it for 3 days with no avail of ever getting root permissions. Can someone please help me?!
I'm about to go crazy! I can't find anything! All I really wanted to do was remove bloatware and have a little more access.
Also when I try reboot and it's connected it says "MT6515 driver not found" could that be the reason?
Try to search a little more.. correct section gives u loads of replies..

I am very sorry but this forum is for Samsung Grand only. Your phone is a Chinese knockoff not even "Galaxy" as you put on title. Please don't make false statement on the title just to attract posts.
Closing this as its not related to the Galaxy Grand Duos.
P.S There is no Android 4.0.5

Welcome to Sony. Reboot your comp and if it still doesn't show up then god knows.
Have you got latest version of flashtool installed?
Not near my pc, but am sure theres the option to browse for the ftf file in flashtool? Just make sure source folder is pointed to the firmware folder your ftf is in and flash.

Join Telegram group and some can teach you. Try open both new bypass and sp flash tools. After finish bypass, quickly press Download button. If still error, try press Power+Volume Up for 10s, then connect to cable, after finish bypass, quickly release button and press Download.
