Speed bump in Rooting process...

Hey guys, I am in the process of rooting my evo 4g using this method http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-on-hboot-2-18-with-s-off/ since I have 2.18 hboot version. I have unzipped all the files from RootEvo4GNew, and the file recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img does not have the .img extension on it when I unzip it to the correct folder, and when I try to flash that in the cmd prompt it says
unknown partition 'recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
I am assuming it can't find the file because it doesn't have the extendion .img on it once extracted. Any ideas? The icon next to the file looks like a zip file and can't be opened by 7zip

See it looks like a winzip file instead of a image file

Ok so I uninstalled winzip and now just have 7zip and it now shows the file as an .img file but I am still getting the same error message when in the command prompt. What am I doing wrong? Here's another image to show you what I mean

I downloaded and followed instructions, isn't working for me. It looks like the phone doesn't see the file when in bootloader, not sure if I renamed it right.

Follow this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/show-or-hide-file-name-extensions to make sure the file extensions show correctly, and make sure you didn't dupe the extension.

Thanks for the advice, I think this may work as I did have one extension duped. Problem is when I run the recovery it says it's an older version than what I already have installed and asks if I want to restart the device. I also still can't get the phone to flashboot recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img and it still says unrecognized partition in the command prompt. Is there a way to flash this from the sc card or anything else you can think of to try?

Are you trying to fastboot flash the recovery .img file to your phone? If so you need to use the command "fastboot flash recovery *insert file name here*" (without quotation marks or asterisks). The recovery img file has to be in your ADB tools folder, alstherwise, put the recovery PC36IMG.zip file in the root folder of your SD card, make sure it's named PC36IMG.zip with no extra .zip extension, and reboot your bootloader. Follow the on-screen prompts to update your recovery.

wow I am retarded, my problem the whole time was that I was typing this:
fastboot flash recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
when I should have typed this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
Thank you so much for the help, on to the next step and hopefully this works!

Ok, successfully rooted with s-off! I have read through all the guides, and am still a bit confused because most of them are from 2010 and 2011. I need to flash a rom that will work with metro-pcs. Can you guys help me with which steps I need to take? I tried to download metrodroid v4 but the download link isn't working. Will aall of the roms in this thread work with metro pcs or do I need a specific one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318070
Also, once I have a rom flashed, do I have to go in to a metro pcs store to get it activated (I do not currently have a metro pcs account or other metro phone) or can I get the esn activated online or by calling there 800 number?

Stucked at TMobile 4G LTE Screen (settings.db mess)

Hello,
I was trying to edit my note 3 settings.db file to add the MobileData toggle at the notification panel.
After I edited the file, I rebooted the phone and Now I am stucked at the Tmobile 4G lte screen.
I have saved the original settings.db file so I can replace the modified one but the problem is that now that the phone doesn't turn on I can't replace it.
Is there anyway to fix this without installing everything from zero again???
Thank You
P.s
I tried to boot in safe mode but the phone doesn't boot even like this.
I tried to wipe cache, but nothing changed
As for the recovery mode, I can boot there

Boot to recovery and use adb console from your pc to swap the files. Learn some Linux command line commands if you don't know how. Primarily you will use cp target.file destination . file. Make a backup if you want via mv.

Any help will be very appreciated as I never worked with Linux.
My original files are located at Downloads folder of my device.
and the files that I changed are located at /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
What command should I use to copy settings.db from downloads to the databases location
Thnx again for your reply
Cheers

I am trying something like this:
adb push /sdcard/downloads/settings.db sdcard/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
But I am getting error:closed
Maybe I am entering the paths on the wrong way

Another question, as I am not managing to over pass this error close message from adb.
If I install 4.4.2 again from download mode will I lose my settings, applications and everything else that I have installed before???

Odin doesn't wipe anything, but the re install would overwrite much of your personalizations. Boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, then boot into download and Odin and restore. When you're up again, download nandroid manager from play store and select what you want to restore from your nandroid backup you made. Be sure to save it in a persistent partition, external SD if possible.

Before I try this, another idea that came to my mind.
Is there any program that I can install to my computer and allows me to browse my phone files even when it is in recovery mode???

Adb, like I suggested first. Look on YouTube if you're not sure how to use it.

Thnx again for you help

f*cked up phone

first of all i want to say that I almost know nothing about rooting and stuff.
I rooted my phone with the all-in-one toolkit and actually didn't know what I was doing. I was just clicking next and did what the screen told me to do. Everything went great and i had no problems until know. I downloaded and flashed the venom dotview tweak but it didn't work and the normal dot view which I reinstalled also didnt work so I decided to do a recovery from the settings app. it was really stupid to do that beacause my softkeys and statusbar are gone know and the flashed apps are still there. Is there a way to have my phone like it was when I bought it? I don't need a root anymore, I just want my phone getting to work normal.
Thanks

Restore you stock ROM nandroid. Look for it in here COLLECTION of Stock backup's seeing as you really didn't bother to provide us with the relevant and more important information such as the CID and Main software version you were on before you decided to mess your phone up and I doubt you made a backup of your device before doing it.

Is your phone still recognized by a pc?
If so, just load another ROM on your sd card.. Wipe everything and flash through recovery. You'll lose all your data, but your phone will be back.
Since you are new to this - CONGRATS! You just learned the most important rule of flashing. Always make a backup first!
Good luck man. It's an easy fix.

I guess I will be the "bad guy" but why are you messing with your phone when you have no clue what you are doing?

Everyone starts somewhere. Im sure we all learned a lot of what we know now by making lots of stupid mistakes. This logic rings true for life... not just phones.

Unlock bootloader,install a custom recovery via adb then download a custom rom of your choice then move it to ext/internal sd.you may use otg.Then go to the custom recovery(TWRP/Cwm/philz) wipe then install zip through the location.

This is why you shouldn't use all in one toolkits, you don't learn anything like that and if you're not willing to learn then you probably shouldn't mess around with these things in the first place, expect others to then fix the problems for you. I'm not trying to be mean here, just stating fact.
Download the Android SDK
After downloading, extract the .zip file. Then go into folder inside the sdk folder you'll find a folder named "platform-tools" right click that folder and copy it on your desktop(Ease of access). Inside that platform-tools folder you'll find the applications adb and fastboot.
Download HTC Sync Manager in order to install the drivers(If you haven't done so already and just to be sure).
Download custom recovery, either Philz CWM Recovery or TWRP Recovery . Place the downloaded .img recovery file inside the platform-tools folder.
Make sure your phone has USB-Debugging enabled, if you don't have developer mode on phone. Go to Settings > About > Software Information > More > Tap 7times on Build Number. This will enable developer options. Go back to Settings and scroll down to Developer Options, open it and enable USB Debugging.
Connect your phone to the PC, make sure to accept any prompts that might appear on the phone then inside the platform-tools folder, hold shift then right click, then select "Open Command prompt here". Type adb devices if adb picks up your device it'll show you your devices serial number. Next type adb reboot bootloader to boot into bootloader mode then type fastboot devices again just to make sure the device is connected and being picked up by the prompt. Type fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_you_downloaded.img MAKE SURE you type in the correct name for the recovery, exactly the same!!!
When it's done, flash ROM of your choice.

I'm a beginner too, but I learnt loads from watching videos from a channel called Sakitech on YouTube. I watched them over a few times to understand the process before doing anything.

Good choice on the videos, these days reading is a bit to tedious for most people. Heck, they don't even read "STOP" on the STOP signs anymore, just drive straight past

Good luck at school then and later on in your job

Lucky boy having such a commited community here. You could've quite easily ended up with a £600 paper weight. Might want to show some appreciation to everyone holding your hand through a process that you should've read about before doing anything. Must admit, I did like the 'I just kept hitting next without knowing what I was doing', that's probably the best thing I've read lol lol.

If there's a pop up it'll show on screen, have you tried the adb devices command to see if your phone gets picked up?
Out of curiousity though, when you used the toolkit didn't you have to enable USB Debugging anyway? I'm not familiar with the toolkit, don't use it myself...? If you already enabled it then it's fine, as long as adb devices picks up your device then you're good to go.

My device is already wiped so I have no configurations anymore.
I have no softkeys and no statusbar anymore since I recovered my phone with the settings app. So no statusbar means no pop-ups.
The adb devices command sees my device in the list of devices but next to it, it says 'offline'. when normaly it has to say 'device'.

You see it's supposed to throw a small pop up on the screen of the phone where it wants you to accept the RSA key to connect it to PC. It doesn't have anything to do with the softkeys or the notification bar on the top, it's supposed to be on the screen. I take it you probably can't even get into app drawer anymore in order to go to settings. Doesn't give any pop up on the screen... I think you really did f*** up your device
Did you use Hasoon2000's all in one toolkit? If so you probably had to have flashed a custom recovery, it's like the very next thing to do after you unlock bootloader?

Also open toolkit on the right side it is written "next flash a recovery". Connect your phone and simply select twrp and press flash recovery.this should do it.For more details ask hasoon.

To get getvar all you'll need fastboot commands, will fastboot commands even work if he MIGHT not have enabled USB Debugging or for that matter haven't accepted the RSA key?
That's why I asked about the recovery as well though. I saw that on hasoon's toolkit the flashing of a custom recovery was like the next step on the process which means that this guy should at least have a custom recovery already installed.

--[FIX]--SkyDragon G3 USB Fix

Like many of you new flashers, I have flashed the SkyDragon ROM and have noticed that there is no connectivity to the computer whatsoever, so I did a little digging. I went back and forth between 2 Nandroid backups and kept flashing parts of them until I could narrow down where this problem was coming from. I found out that it comes from the specific folder - data/property
There is a missing file called persist.sys.usb.config ,13B in size, and I have no idea what it does (maybe some of you could enlighten me) but throwing the old file into that folder, changing the permissions to rw-------- and rebooting worked like a charm.
I apologize for not sticking this into the development thread, however I'm a lurker with no input! :victory:
Without further ado,
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY BORKEN DEVICES. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, DON'T DO IT!
1. Download Root Browser and RB Text Editor
2. Navigate to /data/property
3. On the bottom bar, tap the "New" button
4. Click on "New file"
5. Enter the file name as follows:
persist.sys.usb.config
6. Click the file you just made and hit "Open as..."
7. Hit "Text file"
8. Click RB Text editor
9. Delete whatever is there and enter as follows:
auto_conf,adb
No spaces or caps!
10. Save the file by clicking the save button on the top right corner.
11. Reboot your phone
12.Profit
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steal this information, spread it around, someone post it to the development thread and make this ROM better!
If you're having any problems, don't hesitate to ask

Only if you're going to dirty flash it, but at that point, I'd just dirty flash it anyways. The file should already be there if you're on a ROM that can recognize your phone. I also do recommend a clean flash. I'm sorry if I made this difficult. When flashing the rom, it'll format /data which is where the file is held so if you had the file there already, it would just wipe it.

As long as it's after the wipe then yes. If you opened up the zip that contains the ROM, you could head into /data then create a new folder called property and throw the file in there then zip it back up and flash it. But you MUST put the file in /data/property AFTER you flash the ROM. You could drop the file into a downloads or media folder because those don't get touched then flash the rom then move it and change permissions then reboot as well.
So no, you cannot drop the file in it's PROPER location before you wipe, otherwise it'll get deleted. However, you can copy/paste it into say, mnt/sdcard/Download, via your root browser, beforehand then follow my instructions

I'll try when I get home in about six hours.

For sure! Will await results

I hope the developers get to see this for the next update

I tried creating my own file as per the instructions (came to 13b size for the file too), but my phone isn't being recognized in android file transfer.
Then again, it wasn't recognized either when I was on stock rom (prior to flashing anything).

On my phone, the file already existed. Its contents read....
Code:
boot,adb,mtp
I changed it accordingly based on your instructions, reboot and nothing.
I found that if you turn USB debugging off, then on again, the file will get overwritten with the original code...boot,adb,mtp.
Could it be that this command simply enables USB debugging? That's what my testing showed. I turned off debugging, made the file change, reboot and debugging was enabled. Disable debugging and the file gets overwritten. Rinse, repeat. If I delete the file, it is recreated when enabling USB debugging....boot,adb,mtp.
Just a preliminary finding. I'm not well versed enough to explain or troubleshoot it any further. It did nothing to cure my USB problem.

I may have overlooked something. I deleted some usb portion of the build.prop. Didn't change anything so i didnt think about it. If you make a backup then edit it deleting the usb part, then reboot that might get it to work.If you need specifics, I'll be next to a computer in about an hour and a half

Can someone just post the file here?

I copied one of the persist.sys files from that folder to my sdcard and edited it with Rom Toolbox Pro. I opened it as a text file and deleted what was there, then added the stuff in the OP and saved.

I copied one of the persist.sys files from that folder to my sdcard and edited it with Rom Toolbox Pro. I opened it as a text file and deleted what was there, then added the stuff in the OP and saved. I then renamed the file to persist.sys.usb.config and added it to that folder and changed permissions and rebooted. Worked fine.

Awesome! Glad it worked for you

This is from my stock rom with the modified skydragon kernel. place in root\data\property. let me know if this works. just rename it and drop the .zip part.

On my phone, the file already existed. Its contents read....
Code:
boot,adb,mtp
I changed it accordingly based on your instructions, reboot and nothing.
I found that if you turn USB debugging off, then on again, the file will get overwritten with the original code...boot,adb,mtp.
Could it be that this command simply enables USB debugging? That's what my testing showed. I turned off debugging, made the file change, reboot and debugging was enabled. Disable debugging and the file gets overwritten. Rinse, repeat. If I delete the file, it is recreated when enabling USB debugging....boot,adb,mtp.
Just a preliminary finding. I'm not well versed enough to explain or troubleshoot it any further. It did nothing to cure my USB problem.

I tried creating my own file as per the instructions (came to 13b size for the file too), but my phone isn't being recognized in android file transfer.
Then again, it wasn't recognized either when I was on stock rom (prior to flashing anything).

Much easier now. Just tested it with a Nand that didn't work at all and followed the instructions and it worked flawlessly. Let me know if you have any more issues

I can now confirm that this does work. I now have working MTP again.

You guys could try adding "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" to the build.prop and see if that works.

Well crap. If we need root in order to pull those, how would we give chainfire the recovery.img so he can make a root?
---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------
Sorry to double post, but I believe using adb in ubuntu I can pull the recovery.img. Just need to know where to look/file name. Searching "recovery" pulls up quite a number of files. any suggestions?

Recovery partition is located on this block "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10" so if u can pull the block and convert into an img format your good!!! Plus you might wanna pull "/system/etc/recovery-resource.dat" and rename it "recovery-resource.zip

I literally had just discovered that mmcblk0p10 is the recovery. Although adb pull of that file fails, it will allow me to adb backup that file. But when it says backup complete on my tablet, the file is nowhere to be found on my computer. not sure where to go from here. Maybe I'm not doing adb backup correctly? Here is the script I entered:
adb backup /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/mmcblk0p10 C:\backup.ab
But no dice. Backup.ab does not exist in C:/
Edit: found backup.ab after a very long search of my C:\.
Now I just need to find a way to "decrypt" it and convert it.
