I was running ics before and I noticed the driver ids changed on jelly bean your winusb ini needs to be augmented to make it work drivers removed and reinstalled as for your error did kfu indicate your bootmode and online status before starting?

OK. I tried to uninstall the driver, but I'm not sure. How I can delete safely the driver and how I can augment the winusb.ini??

Also quick question if your using the new twrp likey it breaks some of the abilities of kfu
As kinfuans has suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592681&page=16
I will have to peer into the issue of the id change later to give you a solid answer as I am not near my pc at the moment but go to device manager and under android phone if it says android adb interface and not android composite adb interface then its using the wrong driver at the moment. Right click and go to properties and select hardware id that shows you what the winusb ini should be changed to. I will look later to see if I can show you how it should be changed as a form of reference read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625356 hope it helps

Your link works perfect
Setup is not compatible with 64 bit win 7 ultimate
But all you need to do is:
0. Extract the Zip file to any folder
1. Goto Device manager
2. Right click the s1bootdownload icon (which will have an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle)
3. Click update driver
4. Use manual install from computer option
5. select the folder where you extracted the zip file
6. Hit ok
7. Works like charm

The best version is the one provided as part of flashtool

Bootmenu for XT320

Many thanks to my friend rootdefyxt320 who told me:
rootdefyxt320 said:
1. Patch adbd by using adbd insecure. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590
(ADB will refuse to push things through /system if adbd is secure).
2. Download BootMenu_v2.0.2.zip. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1997638. (Tried the apk, it doesn't work.)
3. Unzip it.
4. Double click on the .bat file and it should install.
5. Reboot and press vol- right after moto logo.

Well, ADB insecure is not really needed. If you have init.d support (if not, see http://www.xda-developers.com/android/init-d-support-for-any-rooted-phone/) you just have to :
I ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISKS. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU MAY CAUSE TO YOUR PHONE (but I can help you repair it )
MAKE A FULL BACKUP BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER
Your phone has to be rooted.
I made a flashable zip
It comes with init.d support.
This one come with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190758 2ndInit.
For now 2ndInit is for dev only. Don't try anything foolish.
0 - download the attached zip
1 - push the XT320_bootmenu.zip on your sdcard
Code:
> adb push XT320_bootmenu.zip /sdcard/XT320_bootmenu.zip
2 - Reboot with a CWM... (recovery.img attached)
Code:
>adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot boot recovery.img
3 - Flash XT320_bootmenu.zip thorough CWM
4 - Reboot and enjoy !
What I did (if you are interested):
In /system/bootmenu/script/pre_bootmenu.sh, I replace (line 9)
PART_CACHE=/dev/block/mtdblock10 by PART_CACHE=/dev/block/mtdblock9
and (line 64)
button-backlight by keyboard-backlight (this is not a major issue, I think but it is still raising errors)
same in stock.sh (line 24)
button-backlight by keyboard-backlight
and finally in _config.sh (line 6-7-8)
PART_SYSTEM=/dev/block/mtdblock8
PART_CACHE=/dev/block/mtdblock10
PART_DATA=/dev/block/mtdblock11
by
PART_SYSTEM=/dev/block/mtdblock11
PART_CACHE=/dev/block/mtdblock9
PART_DATA=/dev/block/mtdblock12
So what you have to do if it is not working, is to check which block correspond to which partition and then adapt the values.
In shell:
Code:
$mount
Check if init.d support is working:
In shell:[/COLOR][/B]
Code:
$cat /data/Test.log
You should be careful before trying 2ndInit and 2ndBoot functionality of bootmenu. They are NOT viable.
Thanks to aweosomeabhijeet

If booting on stock, the amber led is lightening up
If booting on 2ndInit, the red led is lightening up

This one doesn't use logwrapper, it uses 97bootmenu to hijack the boot process. The Moto Fire XT 530 has a MSM7227T-1 chipset.

I just get the apk. Installation seems successful. However, no led is going blue on boot to let me enter bootmenu (V2.3)
I tried V1.4.2, but it was more like if I reset my phone. Still no bootmenu. [EDIT] : I think it just cleared my /etc partition (at least), that's why it messed up. [EDIT2] Or maybe it was working ? I am not sure about how to check if it was.
If the trick were explained somewhere, I could have a closer look...
[EDIT3]
Well I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026853 which shall be the same thing as the apk, but no success.
It seems that this method replaces /system/bin/mount_ext3.sh by an other one. But this file does not exist in the in the stock version of my ROM. So I guess the trick cannot work. Or I don't understood how it works.

Then use the Batch installer. The last time I did it, it installed, but it was about to boot into bootmenu, then it exited. Make use the Fire XT 2nd-Init. Not the Defy One.

Help with reset...

So I decided to try to run ubuntu touch on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus(verizon). All went well, but now it seems I cant start the phone, can only get into fastboot mode. Can anyone please walk me through the steps of putting stock android back on my phone? I have adb and fastboot installed on my computer. There's a guide here that walks you through the process of returning the phone to stock software/firmware, but it requires USB debugging to be on, which I can't turn on because the phone won't boot up. I greatly appreciate any help!!!
Phone Info(what's written in fastboot):
PRODUCT NAME-Tuna
VARIANT- toro 32GB
HW VERSION- 9
BOOTLOADER VERSION: PRIMELC03
BASEBAND VERSION- I515.FK02 CDMA-I515.FK01
CARRIER INFO- NONE
SIGNING- production
LOCK STATE- UNLOCKED
You dont need USB debug on in order to use fastboot
---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------
Debugging is only needed if using adb.
But if u already in fastboot bootloader mode then u don't need to do "adb reboot bootloader" command

Once you've done it once or twice it becomes easier, everything starts to make sense
Did you download one of the Google factory img for toro to your computer? Get it from here
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
(It will be under the Mysid/toro name) any of the available ones will work that are for toro.
---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------
Then you just uncompress the file, open command prompt(aka terminal) in that folder/directory , put device into fastboot mode(bootloader), and then execute the flash all script that comes with the factory IMG download.
---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------
Oh, and to easily open a command prompt in that directory, uncompress the factory img download file from that site linked above, then open the folder to view it's contents. Hold shift and right click within the folder and choose "open command prompt"
Then all you should need to do is put "flash-all.exe" and hit enter in the command prompt that pops up once device is connected and in fastboot(bootloader)mode. (No quotes...just enter the text) and then be patient. The flashing of the radio files might seem to take a long time especially the CDMA radio. Do NOT unplug or anything before it is completed fully)
If need anymore info ask away

Wow, I can't thank you enough man!!! :highfive: That worked like a charm , no problems at all . And oh it's "flash-all.bat" not .exe, for the people that might come across this thread later. Thanks again though, I really don't know what I would've done. Definitely going to do a **** ton more research next time I decide to go and flash a rom haha.

No problem buddy
That's what these forums are for, learning, helping, development, all that good stuff! Just happy it went smoothly for ya.
I think it used to be named .exe, at least it shows as exe on my laptop but I use Linux so it could just be seeing it differently(since I have wine installed)
There is usually a windows executable and a Linux .sh script that can be executed from the terminal to start the process.
See, it's not all THAT bad now is it? Especially since now you know how to do it, messing up the device isn't such a daunting thing anymore lol.
As for keeping status 7 from happening again I highly recommend bookmarking the TWRP or CWM official sites so that before flashing things in the future, you can make sure you have the most up to date custom recovery installed by comparing what is available vs what you have installed(booting into recovery mode will usually have the version info somewhere on the main screen) and of course having a recent nandroid backup made within your current custom recovery. I prefer TWRP but it's a personal choice to each user which they use
Just don't be afraid to play around
Congrats again on your first soft brick&restore! Lol
It's such a relieving feeling once you bring device back from the dead ain't it?

Swipe from top-left to bottom-right at the Asus logo. That gets you to fastboot mode, then swipe up and down to change menu items, swipe right to select.
Or you can enable debug mode and use adb reboot recovery.

You are a hero. I have looked for the better part of 2 hours for this. Anyway I'll sideload the LP update and start over. Hopefully somebody can make use of the recovery and boot pulls and get us a working recovery.
I would be very interested in REMOVING the Wellness app. This is the only reason I want root. Guess I will need to wait until we have a root enabled file manager.

I would be very interested in REMOVING the Wellness app. This is the only reason I want root. Guess I will need to wait until we have a root enabled file manager.

It can be done without a file manager. If you have root, you can enable debugging, connect to a PC by USB, use adb to get a root shell, then adb uninstall package_name.
Edit...Which Benton are you in, BTW. I'm not far from Benton, IL.

Es File Explorer works fine and has an OK interface when on the watch. Also the KingRoot app that gets pushed has an uninstaller too for system apps. The biggest issue I've had is that when the prompt to allow root comes up you can not select allow. You have to cover the screen to back out, then go into KingRoot and open the log, then select the app you want to allow and set it to always allow. You have to do this after the initial failed prompt.
Edit: Freeport, IL here. Worlds a small place.
File Types?

The latest Windows version of kingroot works on the zenwatch. I currently have root that persists after reboot and I am working on pulling the boot.img and recovery.img. Not sure what to do after that, hope somebody can pick up on this.

I use ES File Explorer on my Nexus 6, CyanogenMod 12.1
I do not have a wearable app on my ZenWatch. Is it in settings somewhere?

You have to download the normal phone apk from apkmirror or some other site and use adb to sideload it. Google sideloading apps to Wear, should work the same for any watch. Otherwise you can buy Apps2Wear on the play store. I have done that because its more convenient.
Ok, went through the whole process, is there a way to check root access using ADB?
You should have KingRoot app installed on your watch. That will tell you if you have root. I imagine you could try to pull some files from /system or something that would normally not be accessible. I wouldn't recommend writing to system yet. I soft bricked by watch just by pasting a modified build.prop over the original, trying to turn off low bit depth ambient mode.
Root confirmed, having issues side-loading the ES File explorer apk, though. I'm using the App2Wear method. Still trouble shooting.

Make sure you have adb debugging and adb bluetooth debugging enabled on watch. Make sure you have usb adb debugging turn on on phone. Then make sure you have bluetooth debugging turn on in Wear app. Make sure you do these in that order because the toggle in the wear app wont show up unless you have debugging enabled on phone first.
This is the KingRoot file you need for windows.

Attached is the latest ES File Explorer APK
EDIT: I rebooted everything, and worked fine. Funny how rebooting fixes so many issues... Will test when side-load is completed.
EDIT 2: Looks like its gonna take a long time. Gonna go do dishes and whatnot and be patient.

Sorry, they are .img. They were pulled using Flashify. The extension must have been stripped when I uploaded them to Drive.

Sometimes it fails once and works when you retry. Not sure why.

ES is 28 MB when installed, according to App2Wear, that should be 45-60 minutes to install.

Seems like its taking way too long (going on 1 hour+). Gonna reboot and try again.
---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------
If it fails this time, I will connect it to ADB with command line and manually push the apk onto the watch. I will give it until after dinner to complete the process.
Cant get it to install, and adb says its an invalid apk file when i try to push it. I suppose its not really necessary anyway. Ill just use KingRoot app if I need to do file management.

Did you confirm the apk was good? I'd try installing it on your phone. I don't think KingRoot has file management capabilities.
On a side note, I would advise against uninstalling anything. I just went to flash the previous OTA and it failed because I didn't have Jawbone installed.

[Q] can someone please help??

Your port is closed, please check device manager>port and instead of com4 that being request why send command on com5?
Not entirely sure what you mean?
When I click on ports.bat in my adb folder it says it sees the device on port 5.
I'm lost.....please help:crying:
Here's another screenshot with it showing port 4....but still it fails to get the ID of the phone to enter into LG website to get code.
I get to this point in the screenshot below, where i have to enter "id" but nothing happens...just a blinking cursor when i enter id and press enter.
Any ideas?
thanks
Matt

Hi buddy are you using the right com port because you need to choose the diag1 com port not the other one , also ignore what it says in device manager just use the com port from the lg root tool which is diag1... And one last thing are you on marshmallow or lollipop??

You are doing it the wrong way , if you are on MM then you just unlock your bootloader then flash a pre rooted kernel i will find the links for you in a few minutes

Download twrp 3.0.2.0 and save it in the same place as your adb files , then open a command window by holding shift and right mouse click and do these commands -
adb devices
(This will check if the device is connected you should see a number next to device)
adb reboot bootloader
(This simply reboots your phone ready to flash)
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-h815.img
(Make sure the twrp name is the same as the command)
Hit enter and you should have twrp installed on your device...

Go to the settings of your phone and press on build number around 8 times until it says you are a developer then enable USB debugging and tick the box that says enable OEM unlock and try again , also make sure when you connect the phone to the PC select mtp connection for USB ...
