Hi
I have rooted my Hero and have a custom ROM installed but the GPS does not work and I use it all the time.
I have looked around the web and these forums on pulling the original ROM from the device but it is all to confusing. My wife has a Hero from the same carrier as I use. Is it possible to pull the original ROM off her phone and then I could flash it to mine and get back to original.
Sorry if this is a re-post.
Ta,
Ross
Have you tried the sticky in this forum?

Yes I have tried all the RUU ROMs and they will not load on the phone.
You could visit HTC.com and download the original rom from there, it will work (but then, so should the roms the previous poster linked to).
Perhaps you can share with us, why flashing is not working.

Got a FTP site from the local agent, does not work they say there is a problem.
If I use the web site, it does not accept mine or my wife's serial number.
A friend just found a serial that works and it actually downloads - RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver witch is available in the Sticky.
Decided to try it again in case there was a download error. Same problem:
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

When i go to the HTC website and look for ROMs to download, there isn't any at all. I don't even see the page that asks for my serial number.
The HTC webpage is here : http://www.htc.com/sea/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all
I used this site:

Sorry about the wrong forum. Maybe a mod can move the thread.
Are you saying flash the radio to fix the GPS issue or so that I can flash back to the old original HTC ROM?
You could try installing a standard build from here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
Just wipe and install as usual from the recovery screen.
Some of them are even rooted, or you could root yourself after. That way you will have everything working and stable (including GPS) and also have the advantage of having root as well. Just a thought.
PS.I use HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 which I rooted myself (just seach xda for how to do this) and everything works perfectly.

what i am saying is:
i had this exact problem just yesterday: i could enable gps, but there was no icon in the statusbar, and position was not aquired by any app. no error in logcat. i tried to reflash mcr3.1 without wipe, nothing. wipe, then reflash, nothing. when i reflashed my radio it worked again, even after restoring my nandroid backup.
Can't you just get the official update in update.zip format and flash it from the recovery screen? That should work. Easy as that.
Or do a nandroid backup of your wife's phone and recover it on yours, though it probably doesn't work that simple because of serial keys inside the phone's hardware and stuff..

Perhaps you could explain why this OP is in the wrong forum ? If someone swaps to a custom rom, then needs help to recover in some way as a result, why should that not be asked here ? and if not here then where ?
Just asking
he has a problem and asks a question about it. comes to mind that the q&a (as in questions & answers) category might be the right, doesn't it?
since he is not developing anything, and that question is in no way related to develop anything it is for sure wrong in the development section. people tend to post here because they download the roms (which are obviously developed) from here, one more reason for a rom download subforum...
Need some help or a link to instructions on rooting this phone, This is a T-mobile no contract phone, made by ZTE Phone is running Gingerbread 2.3.7 Since this phone is new on the market is their a similar phone I can look at as an example of how to root it?
Thanks in advance
..
Okay here is what I have tried so far, Superoneclick gets to step 7 waiting on device and hangs up. Have tried the Zurg rush tool, when it attempts to do an adb remount it fails with a msg operation not permitted. So I'm stuck now, so anyone with some ideas or insight please chime in, thanks
Just another update the UniversalAdroot apk does not work, anyone with any ideas?
Still looking for help, since this phone is relatively inexpensive, there is going to be a lot of them out there. And a lot of people looking to root them. Just hoping someone will give me assistance as this will also be solution for others as well.

Well at least your thread pulls up when running a Google search for rooting this phone. Did you try the CyanogenMod instructions for the ZTE Blade? Thats the only other suggestion I have since I don't own one yet.
Post back here if you have any luck. I might just get one as a spare.

Hi
So far, anyone found a way to root the ZTE V768 (Concord) ?
Anyway to upgrade to 3.0?
Thanks
Michel
I too would like to see this rooted. Then maybe I can delete some of those factory installed apps I would never use.
ZTE lists a way to manually upgrade the firmware for a Concord (V768) with a PC running Windows. Maybe it can be used somehow to root this device?
I can't post the link because I'm a new user, but just search for the Concord on the ZTE USA website.

, but this does not look like a OS upgrade, only a PC Driver update
I will try it and see if it affects the phone.
I have asked T-mobile to get the Concord unlocked, they couldn't but required an answer from ZTE directly...I should get something next week only!
So did anyone figure out how to get this phone unlocked?
BTW I'm surprised how little support there is for this phone considering it's the cheapest tmobile android option by far.
ROOTED!!
For those looking to root their ZTE Concord I have successfully rooted it using the ZTE Score option! Working on installing the Clockwork mod now and I think I'm going to tinker with the JellyBlast ROM for the Galaxy Y considering these phones are fairly similar
nvm on last post its installed su but did not install the binaries

Alright I tried rooting with update.zip for the Galaxy Pocket considering these phones have similar hardware but still no go! :crying: Has anyone had any luck?
Hey!
Im pretty new into this subject about rooting and install custom Roms to your phone on android but i was thinking i should give it a try!
I have succesfully unlocked the bootloader but i dont know what i shall do next. I want to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/xperia-z1c-resurrection-remix-lollipop-t2996231[/url]
What shall i do first? Ive tried reading a couple of guys but i dont really know what i shall do next, as far as i know you should unlock the bootloader (already done) and then root the phone (i've read this guide and it seems quite good: http://techchomps.com/root-14-4-a-0-157-android-4-4-4-kitkat-on-xperia-z1-z1-compact-and-z-ultra/) and then i can install a custom rom? Shouldn't you install a custom recovery like clockworkmod first? When and how do i install that?
Im currently at firmware 14.4.a.0.157 btw.
I have understood that you might brick you device if you do this and that's the last thing i want too do, as im studying student i dont really have enough money for a new phone/reparation.
I hope i dont seem to confusing to you
Thanks in advance!

p.s. i hope you backuped your DRM-keys before you unlocked your bootloader, otherwise they went away and never come back...

There is a sticky thread dedicated to your needs Z1 Compact Resource Thread -|-Rooting-BL Unlocking-Firmware & More...
Don't use guides from any other place as they sometimes leave out important information.
If you read (and read again) the guides, go slowly, then there is no chance you will damage your phone.
I hope you made a backup of your TA partition.

Hey!
Yeah i saw that thread and as i read, he seemed to link this guide for the root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/general/root-14-4-0-157-lb-ubl-t2933298
The thing i find strange is that is says D690X devices but my Z1C is D5503 will that still work if they are on the same firmware at the moment? One guy said so in the thread but i just wanted to ask you guys about it.

Thanks alot!
Ive successfully rooted the phone and everything seems to work fine with that!
The thing is that i was going to install recovery now and i thought i could use the guide provided by the author of the thread you linked before which is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
As i downloaded the recovery and installed it said it was succesfull but i cant seem to get into recovery. The guide also said that the device should reboot after the installtion, which it didnt! I ran install.bat with the phone on, not in flashmode or anything. Was i doing anything wrong? I installed the recovery from http://nut.xperia-files.com/ in the XZDualRecovery section, not the kernal section. Should i also install the kernal Recovery? Im confused

shutdown your device!
At boot, once you feel the phone vibrate and while you see the green led burn:
- press VOL-UP for PhilZ Touch;
- press VOL-DOWN for TWRP.
- flash the custom rom you want (but copy the zip to your extSD card before)

Ive tried that but i dont get into recovery. Do i need to have a extSD card before install the recovery? I also dont see any green led burning. I feel the phone vibrate shortly after i pressed and hold the power button, but no green led.
When i installed the recovery i had the phone powered on, was that right? It said in the guide it would restart but it didn't.
I dont think ext card is necessary, it is rather option.
Question:
Did you install both zips - installer and flashable?
If yes - I'd try other version.
Hi Guys.
I'm new here, and in the "root/flash" world too. I'm good enough with computer to follow instructions, so i shouldn't be pain.
Here is my problem. I bought a new cellphone on a usually safe website. But when it has arrived, it was defective. I don't know if it's bricked, or is it got damaged at the customs but the fact is, there is no OS (or i can't access it) on my phone. It always loop on the bootloader. I've read some things on this forum, but i'm not sure what to do, since i'm not sure what the problem is, and if there is something to do.
I've made a video with my other ****ty cellphone. It probably explains better than me what is the problem. youtu.be/W4pAZQJNtj0
So, now, first of all, can i do something to get it works? If so, what can i do?
So, thanks to anyone who will try to help me.
And, yes, i got a refund by the website, but, i'd like make it works anyway.
Try following this guide, it will reinstall stock Marshmallow:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/guide-flash-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-2-t3588276/
Use method 2, since you don't know if the bootloader is unlocked or not.
Some links are dead, so, drivers are here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE500CL/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20150212.zip and Asus Flash Tool is there: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9rp3AJHKJXjNmRuRUJMWmtOT3c/view

Thank you, i will take a look at this.
Hi!
So I just wanted to change the way emojis appear on my Mi Max (Version: 7.0, MIUI Global 10.2). I had a look on internet and on a site, it said to flash the wanted emoji appearance rom, or what you call it idk. And to flash that, I had to get the TWRP custom recovery and, inturn to get that, I had to root my phone.
I remember rooting my old LG G3 VS985 and a Lenovo mobile, model I don't remember. I rooted these devices using KingRoot. So I think I can say I have experience with rooting.
Now the thing is that, according to my knowledge and the websites I went through, that to have TWRP on your phone, you have to root it using some kinda PC software and other more geeky stuff idk.
So I am looking forward on this forum for someone to give me a proper guidance for getting through this. Also, if you have any other easier method to accomplish this, please let me know!

First you must unlock your bootloader first, ask permission to xiaomi for unlock your device. Theres a tons tutorial how to do that, try search that here on xda or google. After unlocking your device, flash your twrp.
If the emoji you mean is flashable from twrp, just flash it from there. Dont need to root your device, CMIIW.
Hope that help
