[Q] Ace Hack Kit - question - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I run the kit and it seemed to work fine. It did the operation, and said it was completed. Also it said to press ented and it went back to the menu. I pressed q for quit.
I went to the phone and checked with superuser application. It said it was ok and the new version was downloaded. Also on the therminal then typed su I got # symbol.
Now, I tried to test with commands from the command prompt and for every command I got insufficient permission.
I connected the phone and I tried running Ace Kit again but got the message no HTC phone or usb? It worked fine before.
Any idea what is wrong now?

command adb devices
gives no permission message? I am assuming now that HTC needs to allow computer the access or something.

More info is needed. What commands are you trying? Did you actually gain soff? Ate you running these commands from the phone? If so did you give your terminal app root permission?
AND DONT RUN THE HACK KIT AGAIN if you are already rooted, only bad things will happend.

[Q] USB Bricked

Let me say upfront that yes I did read all of unrevoked replies in the dev section.
They mention that the 8/1 leak (ROM I'm currently running) may also have the same USB issues as SkyRaider.
When I plug my phone into my mac, I get a device error message and the option to ignore or (I think cancel). Anyway, if I click ignore, I can see both the SD card and internal storage just fine. I can also see my SD card from my phone and I know adb is working because I recently went into recovery, /mount systen, to remove the old flash.apk for the hulu hack.
So on the surface it appears like my phone is fine except for this error message. I'm curious if any other mac users receive the same error message (never got it before the 8/1 leak). With s-off coming as early as tonight, I don't want a USB brick. Thanks for any help.
Hey bro I'm a Mac user as well and was getting the same message. This has to do with a file that verizon included in the Rom to auto-run the device like an mp3 player on windows machines. You can remove this by rebooting into recovery-partition menu-mount system....now open up terminal and cd into your Android SDK/tools folders now run ./adb shell hit enter next type rm /system/etc/CDROM.ISO hit enter ....unmount system - reboot and your golden.

Hey thanks a lot for the info. I'll run adb shell when I get home and see if this solves the problem. Good to know it wasn't just me.
let me know if that fixes the issue for you
Worked perfect. Thanks!
Glad I could help

Evo Stock OTA 2.2 Root; Error: Device Offline

I get this error after typing "./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" into the command prompt. I tried deleting files and starting over, I pretty much tried everything and still get this error. Even if I try starting all over I get this error right from the start. Plz help! Thanks in advance!
I get this. It just started happening. I have no freakin clue how i created this problem but I am sorely annoyed by it.
Anyone got any ideas on how to get rid of the "offline" status of my EVO?

I'm also getting this on a Droid X running Android 2.2.1, using the Android SDK Tools Revision 8.
It happened after I ran rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin as part of the "DarkOnion Root for Droid2" procedure for rooting the Droid X. This error is preventing me from completing the procedure. Does anyone know how to fix this error?
EDIT: I was able to correct the error by rebooting my phone (powering down and then powering up). Afterwards, I was able to complete the root procedure, although I'm not sure how to test it.
EDIT2: Just tried running the Wifi Tether app for root users. It says I'm still not rooted. :::sigh:::
If you have hboot 2.10 then you have to do things differently. Namely you need to use Android Terminal Emulator on your phone instead of adb on a command prompt after you push the files over.
It seems that adb gets permanently killed by rage exploit. Check the Hboot 2.02 thread for more details in the dev section.

[Q] "errno = 19 (No such device)" when running unrevoked3/reflash on Linux

Hi,
I'm trying to run unrevoked3/reflash to root my HTC Evo (currently running HTC's stock Android 2.1, unrooted). I'm running Linux on the system connected to the Evo.
I've always been able to use adb fine to get a shell. I have USB debugging enabled, and I leave it in "Charge mode".
Here's what I get when I run unrevoked from my Linux box:
$ ./reflash
unrEVOked recovery reflash tool
git version: 4f78f67
ERROR: n = -1, errno = 19 (No such device)
The GUI runs fine. I click OK, and it reboots my phone and then the "HBOOT USB" step fails. I'm guessing this failure is related to the "No such device" error.
Does anyone know what exactly this error is referring to? I've found a few other threads with people reporting this problem, but no solutions (one person said swapping out his SDcard fixed it for him, but I'm using the stock SDcard and haven't reformatted it).
Update: I tried again, this time running "reflash" as root. This time it worked, although I still saw the "No such device" error messages in the console.
I don't know if running it as root did the trick, or something else was going on. I didn't expect root to be necessary since my user account had access to the USB device (via udev rules), which was verified by adb working as a normal user.
In any case, it worked and I appear to be rooted now.

[Q] Verizon HTC Incredible

Hi, I'm trying to remove all those annoying pre-loaded aps that VZW put on my phone. I attempted to run the unrevoked3 root + flash thingy and it got hung up part way through - phone still works, and the phone IS rooted. I installed a terminal emulator and saw that all the pre-loaded aps only have "R" access which is why I cannot remove them.
I've tried using "chmod -r 777 <program>" and I get a "failed" message. I've tried the simple "rm /system/app/amazon*" and it tells me it's a read-only file (still). Can anyone help me? I've got some experience with linux and command line, but am still not very good with it and this is my first time attempting to root/hack my phone.
I've got the HTC Incredible running the latest 2.3 gingerbread.
Try to get BUsy Box and see if you have super user access, cuz since you said it hung up half way, chances are your phone did not root completely
Im pretty sure it has been rooted. I downloaded an emulator and when I type "su" the command line goes $->#. Someone else had this similar problem but they wanted to install a different ROM and I just want to remove useless aps. That being said I wasn't able to make any use out of his solution.
I should also point out that a super user icon is now in my aps window. I open it and its just a black screen, possibly because I haven't given anything root access yet?

try installing rom manager from the app store and see if it ask you for permission
Ok, I installed that, but it didn't ask me for permission...is there something I have to adjust in the April itself?

if it didnt ask for permission, that means your phone is not rooted, as Clockwork recovery needs permission to use, reroot? or ask in the incredible forum?
Yeah, guess I'll try to reroot. Not sure why the unrevoked3 root didn't work. Will try and post any details about failed tasks during the root process.
Thanks

I've seen this thread before and since forgot about it. Thanks for posting it. I assume in order to do what they say in the thread (meaning run the adb shell), you need to root your phone
?
Sorry for taking so long to report back...busy time of year!
As it turns out, my phone actually WAS rooted despite running into the previously posted comments. I was attempting to start over and in doing so, downloaded SDK, JDK and proceeded to mount my phone using adb. All I had to do was reboot my phone in recovery mode and then mount /system. Voila! I have since moved all the useless bloat to a disabled folder...
My next question is this: How do I enable tethering and mobile hotspot?
Thanks for your help.
Wireless tether for root users is a pretty baller app. I show it off once in a while at work when someone flashes their ipad around. The speed is solid.

Is that the name of the ap? Or how can I enable it? I've been told that the pre-loaded mobile hotspot still will not for rooted phones and you need to download a 3rd party ap?
Just searched the "wireless tether" in the market and found it...it says it requires "Netfilter-enabled kernel" What's that mean? I'm still running the stock ROM (2.3 gingerbread). I don't know that I want to run a new ROM....
I downloaded and installed both "wireless tether" and "barnacle" just to try out both. I can view my mobile hotspot on other devices, and I can even connect them to my phone. On the iPhone (4g), I can get what appears to be everything but youtube. On my laptop I can't get any internet signal...
In either tethering ap, I cannot view who/what is connected (i.e. my laptop or iPhone). Any ideas? Are there limitations to these aps?

I have Barnacle for my Wi-Fi tether and it tells me who is connected to my phone (there should be a "Clients" tab). Do you have any encryption enabled?
I password protected my wireless hotspot and then used both the iPhone and laptop to connect to it, once they connected I tried viewing who was connected to my hotspot in both barnacle and the wireless tether and neither of them would say another device is connected.

Help rooting G3

Recently got a G3 with Verizon. Running Lollipop 5.0.1. I've done quite a bit of reading about rooting, and understand the concept. Decided to try rooting my phone. I followed the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/log...de-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
I attempted to root my phone several times, on three different PC's each running Windows 7. The farthest I ever get is a 90% complete status where the GUI says "Rooting phone" and the phone says "downloading firmware." I've left it in this state for upwards of 10 minutes and I always end up having to pull the usb and remove the battery in my phone in order to restart it. Upon pulling the USB the GUI will immediately show it had completed the root but when I test for super user status (with Terminal Emulator "su" entry) it says "not found."
USB debugging is enabled. I have tried switching between MTP and PTP connections. I have tried several different USB ports on each machine I attempted this. I tried it by first manually installing the LG drivers on the computer as well as by letting Windows automatically install them. I have tried with the box that says to always allow connections from the computer checked as well as unchecked. I tried versions 1.3 and 1.2 of the script. With version 1.2 it seemed like it finished and it prompted me to push control+c followed by N and enter or something and then the command window closed, but the phone was not rooted.
What am I missing?
I'd really like to get this phone rooted as I am excited to create a recovery and experiment with custom ROM's.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

If the 1st method (one-click script) doesn't work for, the 2nd method using the classic way will. Download and extract the "New_LG_Root_v0.1_by_dig.zip" file from the OP, then open an elevated command prompt from within the directory you extracted the files to.
Thanks
I thought I fixed that link. Oh well. Glad to see there's a new method. I will try this. Thanks!
This worked by the way. Thanks again!
