Hi, I have a HTC G2 with a broken LCD. Thats all it has. I know it boots fine cause I can unlock it raise and lower volume and can here the tone. So it pretty much works except the LCD. So I want to sell it for parts for about $30-$60 but don't want my Google accounts and info to be accessed when the new owner fixes it. So my question is. How can i blindly clear user data in Clock Work Mod? I need how many volume downs and track pad presses so I can clear user data. Thanks!

How do I use that computer app? And 35 and its yours. Just get the LCD and repair.
Can I delete user data from ADB?
droid explorer is great and i recommended using it, just download it to pc and connect phone. you will see all of the options there. it hasnt been updated in a long time and is a bit laggy but i love it.
if you boot into bootloader, hold power plus volume down
wait about 30 seconds, hit power again to select fastboot mode
now from pc open a command window into wherever the folder fastboot is located
type fastboot devices and you should see your phones model number
not type fastboot -w
you will see a message saying complete
phone is free of all personal info
35 with shipping to continental us? pm me

I'd imagine that if you could get it booted up, an adb shell, then rm -Rf / *could* probably do the trick (just ensure you've removed the SD card if you intend on keeping that and want that data on the SD card).
likewise any other destructive command could too, mostly everything under the /data partition should do though, since the /system is generally read-only and won't normally store your user data there.
EDIT:
This may or may not work as I've not tried it myself.
Code:
adb shell
format DATA:
format SYSTEM:
format CACHE:

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
i had the same problem, but with a pc. whenever i plug in my phone into my pc, nothing comes up, i hav to go to my computer to open it up. and also i have an extra cd drive that says verizon mobile. do u know if the "rm /system/etc/CDROM.ISO" command works with a PC too?
I've been working on this for the past week. Every exploit I've tried just hangs after a while. I've gotten much further manually. I've got unbuntu and been working using various manual methods. The thing I've noticed is that there is no system folder in root. There is a system partition in which app and bin folders exist. Later today I'm going to have time to try some more. If it weren't for these silly rules id reply to somebody elses post, but I guess reading in forums for 3 years as a registered user doesn't count. Never a need to post as I've always found something using a search. And now I've got a phones that's been out for a week and there's no info out on it so I guess I get to develop myself. Not a hard thing...just time consuming and I've got better things to do, but these pink apps gotta go and I need wired or wireless tehter again. Hopefully I have succcess later today and can post how I accomplished it.
I'll be waiting anxiously. please post updates in this thread with your progress!
Any progress on this? I have been attempting but no luck.

ok so here's what i've learned so far from trying every method that i can find...
when you boot the phone into the pink screen (volume up and volume down plus power) there is a partition containing 1 folder with 5 files. That folder is called image and the file inside are amss.mbn, boot.img, cust.img, emmcboot.mbn, and recovery.img
The Ascend G300 is a similar phone to the G312 and there is a filed called superrecovery which changes the recovery to set ADB with root priveliges and installs SU in system. If we use the recovery from that batch file made by PauloBrien and push it to the device while in pink screen mode and then reboot into recovery the phone won't power on. You can return to the pink screen and change back to the original recovery, but you can not boot the device into recovery nor regularly. Now this gave me an idea as i'm typing. what if i change it and issue the command in ADB as ADB works during the pink screen. I'm going to try that now.
But this can't be done when in bootloader, only in pinkscreen which makes me think it's fastboot USB mode, but fastboot commands dont work uless you are in the bootloader with the huawei logo which you can only get into by issuing the reboot-bootloader command through adb. once you enter bootloader mode via ADB reboot command then you are able to issue some fastboot commands.
ok so that didn't work...basically when the files in the imge folder are changed the device won't boot into anything but the pink screen mode.
the original recovery file size is 6340KB and the one from PauloBrien is smaller at 5074KB. I'm wondering if file size has something to do with why it won't boot, however, i'm not familiar with what's inside of these files. So...as i reasearch how to build our own clockworkmod recovery i'm wondering if there's a way to change the ADB command inside from not root to root. if it's a on off selecton i'm not sure how i'd affect file size. this is where we get into the realm of knowledge that i don't possess.
so if anybody can offer up some knowledge from where i stand now... please do so.
on a side note, when running exploits, (gingerbreak, zergrush, doomsomething, psneuter, etc)...they all hang.
in linux when trying to drop a file into /system/bin the terminal read out says something about failing to cycle power, not certain what this means.
as i learn a bit more, i'll go ahead and add more...
I am hopeful to hear back from you with a successful root method for this device. I myself just purchased this phone for myself and would really love to see more development on it. Seems like a solid phone with a low entry price. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
I'm also waiting anxiously for someone to figure this out. I just got this phone and while I really like it, there is just so much packed on this thing that I want to get rid of before I can really enjoy the phone.
I'll be watching this thread as well hopefully OP or someone else will figure out the trick to rooting this phone, like others I have used the usual methods but no luck. I've counted no less than 13 programs I'd uninstall right off the bat.
For what its worth the phone seems to not be considered part of the Ascend models of phones although they are quite similar our model is called the Unite U8680 and the Unite Q U8730 (the slider version). I've sent a email to Huawei lets see if they respond at all.
It's pretty much useless but this is all I can find on the G312 on the Huawei website:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=4086&tb=0
I'll be watching this thread as well. According to a post on another forum regarding a different Huawei model, dialling *#*# 2846579 #*#* and making some changes in the log file settings suddenly made their phones rootable for some reason. However while the same # gets you into the service mode on this phone, the log file changes made no difference.
I wonder, though, there are quite a few other options in that service mode. Maybe something in there that could be useful.
Edit: There's one menu that looks interesting, the USB one. You can change it to all sorts of modes including "Manufacture mode" whatever that is. Afraid to try it, don't want to brick my wife''s new phone
I've been playing with this menu as well and some of the USB modes do seem interesting. I was hoping this would let me find the product ID for the phone cause I found a link on the Huawei homepage to register to get an unlock code for the boot loader on this phone. If anyone is interested here is a link to the page and sadly the method they say to find the product ID doesn't work on our phone.
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/servicePolicy.do?method=toApplyUnlock
huawei says the product ID is an 8 digit number. I've been trying to dump the log files so i can scan them for some kind of 8 digit number. i've also tried all the different USB modes as well as a few other changes in the project menu that we're able to access. These haven't given me any success in changing the ownership of the folders needed to gain root access. i've not had any time to tear apart the recovery image to figure out what it's doing. but all in due time somebody will figure this out. still haven't been able to get fastboot to work properly either. am running through the usb modes on that now.
Yes please help i cannot figure out out either
builder.clockworkmod.com
so i've been working on building a recovery image for this devices using koush's site and have been able to build it, but the device won't boot into recovery yet. not sure how to fix this, gonna mess around and keep on trying. i can get it to boot back up and can get it to respond to adb commands when in the mode that just shows the android 4g logo. but i can't get into recovery. not through adb and not through using the power and volume buttons.
still working on it... any body else have anything yet?
No info on rooting this phone but Huawei just posted on their website the open source gingerbread kernel for the G312 U8680 here is a link to it:

It's been rooted!
Yep, it's a simple one too. Happy to have my wife's phone rooted Removing bloat, however, is tricky -- it's hidden in an inaccessible partition and when you erase it, it restores it on next reboot.

When you install an update to one of these apps lets use the, yahoo mail on for example, it will show in the /system/app or /data/app. The problem is the apk before the update is in /cust/t-mobile/us/app which is read only and unable to be mounted as R/W and that is why Titanium backup is unable to uninstall it.
I have tried moving it and deleting it manually with no luck. I have not tried through ADB yet but may give that a try next.

If you figure it out and find anything out I would love to know about it. Where should I watch for an update in case someone does get that sorted out?
Recovery mode
There is an accessible recovery mode, at least on my querty version of the phone. You have to completely pull the battery first. Put the battery back in, hold Volume up, and then hit power. I held the power button for a couple seconds, and volume up for maybe 6-8 seconds, then started hitting volume up repeatedly. The key is to pull the battery each time you try, I think. It looks like powering off from the phone's power menu just puts it in a suspend sort of mode. (Compare boot times when rebooting, and when pulling battery)
Apparently the bootloader is locked, so not sure how useful it is yet.
For anyone with a T-Mobile MyTouch Q (Huawei U8730), I created a wiki page for it, and we should post in the New Device Forum Requests thread so we have a specific place to post info.
I just purchased a U8730 today and will definitely be figuring out how to root it at some point.
For anyone that cares here's a link in case you haven't registered at the other site.

I'm hoping we can get some development going for this phone. I just picked one up for my daughter a month ago and it's giving her memory filled messages already. It'd be great if we can get it permanently rooted and remove bloat to start... then possibly move onto Cyanogen... considering she had the horrible Comet (also by Huawei) previously and it had development for CM7. I may be taking a leap from my contract soon, but can't go to Straight Talk with her phone unless it's unlocked
So, after 2,5 years of great joy of using my HOX, last weekend it fell down, and the screen broke.
I asked about the replacement, but it seems a bit costly (compared to the phone value), so I might as well forget about it.
I am already looking for a replacement.
The problem I have is that inside my HOX i have many very important as well as sensitive information. As the thread title say - could anyone help me with rescuing them?
The phone was running SlimKat 9, so maybe @teemo could have an idea
I remember @geko95gek, and @Goku80 used to deal very well with HOX.
Although I have some experience in flashing, this looks quite difficult, because ADB doesn't rcognize my phone in ON state. Fastboot commands work just fine in bootloader mode, but ADB refuses to cooperate.
What do I need:
- access to sdcard to take out some data.
- SMSes
Any help/advice/assistance is more than welcome.
Update - I managed to access sdcard through adb, so at least this part is put to sleep.
Still, ab is giving me "access denied" or something like that when I try to access data partition to extract mmssms.db and another file from an app that created it (AK Notepad notes which are of extreme importance to me).
I found some instructions that I should provide adb with root access, but I cannot as I can't recognize anything on my screen even though the touch is working.
Also, as I remember Slim KAT 9 has y default root access to adb and usb (@teemo could you confirm this, please?).
Any advices?
Hello guys,
I am new to Android. So pardon me if my question is silly or vague.
My Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is not switching on. When I press and hold power button it shows Boot screen, then splash screen then as soon as home screen comes, it shows message your device is shutting down.
What could be the issue? And how to solve it?
Apart from this, can I access my device when it is switched off? I want to take backup of images, videos and contact. So that if I restore from PC Companion software, I would be worry free that I have data backup
Thanks.
Sounds like a simple case of the battery being flat. Have you tried charging it overnight?

Battery is 39% charged. I've also tried by charging it for 2-3 hours. But despite having 39% battery it shuts down as soon as home screen displayed.
Sorry, forgot to mention this information earlier.

How can you see battery level? You can access files through adb shell on PC, (terminal), and copy to PC to save them if you have to. If you bought it new, I would contact Sony and see what they'll do. Otherwise, I would save what you can through adb, and try messing with it from there.

When I switch it on it displays home screen for few seconds. On home screen I can see battery level.
Its been more than a year I've bought it. I've in fact contacted Sony service station, they says that it needs to be reset and doing so will wipe out data on internal memory.
I have not used ADB tool earlier. Will look at how to use it and copy data from internal memory from console.
For ADB, will it access internal memory when it is switched off? Because the phone switch on for few seconds only. Will ADB works and allow me to copy data in this circumstances?

I don't know all the technical details, but it might be your best chance at this point. You need to install adb package on your computer, and make sure drivers are installed for your phone. Then open a terminal, and CD to the directory where adb is. Plug your phone in, and wait for any message to finish, (about installing software, etc - if you're using Windows, and it says 'searching Windows update', click on 'skip windows update'). Once it's done, type 'adb devices' to see if it's recognized. If it is, type 'adb shell', and you should get a new command prompt showing that you have access to the phone's files. Just use terminal commands to navigate around and copy files you want. If you're not familiar with it, you'll have some learning to do to figure out how to do it all, but it's not too difficult.
1) We know it's a battery problem.
2) We know that you want to backup your data through ADB.
3) You got to go through all these steps and see what it turns out to be.
Note this is NOT the Blu R1 HD that Amazon sold with advertising built in; it is a separate more expensive model named BLU R1 PLUS. I have searched online for several weeks and not a peek how to Root BLU R1 Plus except the standard promises of paid root services and of course Kingroot. I've used Kingroot before on other phones in desperation but it seems you never get all of their app off your phone even if they are able to root it.
Has anyone any idea how to root this phone? Thank you!
If you have rooted your BLU R1 PLUS (not the Amazon Prime model) if you would share how, I will be more than grateful. Thank you.
Seriously? Still not a single method to root this device?
I think it's a great fone (with a few issues like multi-touch), but still... Wanted to mess with some root tweaks since several months ago.
Any news on this thread?
I have the same problem, i had it since a year ago i dont get how there is not a single root method yet.
I don't know either. The boot loader is locked on this one. I believe all the effort went into cracking the Amazon commercial one. I am guessing there are only a couple of people who can crack them and they either stay busy with more exciting models (the cheapest ones are not always the most popular for some reason, it's the opposite with me). Yes I made the mistake of purchasing the BLU R1 Plus without researching that all the love was being spent on the other models, otherwise this appears to be a really nice phone. I've had it for nearly 6 months and it's still in the box because I am using my old cracked face BLU until I hear how to root this one. I don't use them unless I can root and add secure Xposed environment. Too much, too exposed to the laughable "free" world of apps. I like the BLU phones. This one even has an extra long battery life and doesn't require a bank loan to purchase as most of the popular ones do
Also I tried Kingroot on this one in desperation .... massive list of failures and not sure what condition it left the phone in.
