Hello there,
First-off, i would like to thank the Chainfire for the SuperSU files and the Kingroot for making the rooting process easier.
As far as i am aware, it is pretty hard to root this device. It runs on a Spreadtrum chipset sc7731. However, recently i figured out how to root this device.
->> REQUIREMENTS:
1. Minimal adb and fastboot tool.
2. Kingroot app.
3. As usual, a working brain.
->> METHOD:
It seems like that the device's default.prop file comes with a configuration :
Code:
ro.secure=1
which makes it impossible to root this device with absolutely any rooting software out there including the one-click apps.
To be able to root this device, the only efficient way is to replace the stock recovery with a custom one, deleting the default su binary file inside the /system/xbin folder as well as in the /system/bin folder, installing the SuperSU.zip file and finally by installing the Kingroot apk which will ultimately root the device.
I personally prefer the TWRP but there is no official release out there for this device. So, i ported a custom recovery for it in my spare time ( It may appear somewhat ridiculous but i had nothing more interesting to do so i changed the layout :silly
I have attached the recovery file below as well as the SuperSU.zip files below.
After you have downloaded the recovery as well as the SuperSU.zip, here are the steps to root it:-
Download the minimal adb fastboot for windows. You may google it, its available easily. (It turns out it may be the only tool that may work effectively in case your device is not getting recognized by any other adb.)
Rename the recovery as twrp and place it inside the Minimal adb and fastboot folder.
Connect the device via a USB cable and make sure adb debugging is on inside the developer options.
Now open the Minimal adb and fastboot tool and type the following commands inside the prompt:-
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Type the commands in the exact sequence. Your device will boot normally. Now, time to checkout the recovery. Type the following command inside the prompt
.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
In a few seconds, you will have the custom twrp booted in front of you. Now, open the Mount tab inside the recovery and check the system option within it.
Head back to the recovery homescreen and open the Advanced tab which is followed by opening the File Manager tab.
Inside the file manager, follow the path to the pre-existing su binary file, i.e /system/xbin and delete it. Do the same with the su file present on /system/bin.
Now, head back to the recovery home ,open Install tab and select the SuperSU.zip wherever you placed it and swipe to confirm the installation.
Reboot system. (It will probably boot without the logo so don't worry if it does.)
Now Google the Kingroot.apk, download it and install it. Give it a run, it will probably fail.
So get rid of the other superuser app i.e, SuperSU app via the option present inside it, i.e "Cleanup to install other superuser app" or something like that.
After a few seconds, it will disappear from the device and probably the same might happen with the Kingroot app.
Reboot the device.
Re-install the Kingroot app and run it again.
Congrats! You just rooted your device. Go ahead and check the root via an app like Rootchecker.
The custom recovery file has been attached and happens to be in the .zip format so kindly extract the recovery from it.
If you have any query regarding this, do let me know. :v
(I would be glad if you or anyone who finds this post useful would thank me) Cheers!

Please help. I just want to reset to anything that will work. I have access to CWM. I have deleted all backups (I know...) I have WSG Rom and Wooky (which doesnt like CWM) on the internal SD card. I can't stop getting bootloader loops. I have made some mistakes trying to fix this. I just want anything (ADB or whatever) that will get me to a working tablet. I know this is vauge, please help. WHen I flash WSG it goes to the ASUS screen with the circle that keeps flashing as it rotate- not the image below. I have tried reading about fastboot, which I can enter, but I am unsure how to use it.

No this is an easy fix after you do a bit of reading! You need to fastboot flash TWRP and then WIPE and then push a rom to your device through adb.
You'll find TWRP in the development section, I'm guessing your on the stock bootloader (not androidroot), if so read back a couple of pages in the thread and you'll find a link to their older versions. On the first post you'll find a link to their website where you'll find instructions to fastboot flash their recovery.
Also in development section you'll find a thread called How To Un-Brick Your Prime. In there you'll find downloads and instructions for both ADB and Fastboot.
Reading a bit through these post you will learn alot and easily unbrick your device now, and the next time your in trouble.
Hope this helps....
I suggest you go here first http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1426502 download and install naked drivers
Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1774352 download and unzip nvflash
Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1615990 download twrp and place it inside the nvflashpack directory where you see adb.exe
Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1782413 download EOS 3
or
Go here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32357-rom...ckbean-2-8-15/ and download bakedbean 3
Put either one in the nvflashpack directory where adb.exe is or if you have an external sdcard, load a rom onto it (preferred method)
I am not a fan of cm10 though it has some nice features I wouldn't start with it...
Now the hard part....
Go here and follow the instructions http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/
As per the instructions put your prime in fastboot mode...
to you start a command prompt, open the nvflashpack directory where adb.exe is. Press and hold shift while right clicking in the window, select open command prompt here
When the instructions say to enter a command, highlight it on the webpage and copy then in your command window right click and paste (control V does not work here)
Work your way all the way to the end until you see coming soon...
In the end you will have the modified bootloader required for the latest version of twrp (cwm doesn't work as well as twrp on the prime)
Now follow the instructions to install twrp this can be done through fastboot or through goo manager (download from market if you want to go the goo manager route)
Once that is complete with the prime still plugged into the pc, boot into twrp, now depending on if you have put the rom on an external sd card or not... if on sdcard, have it inserted before going into twrp, and install the rom from the card otherwise you can adb push the rom to the prime it will be adb push /name of rom.zip/ sdcard Note that the rom has to be in the same directory as adb.exe for this to work otherwise you need to type the path....for the name of the rom I suggest right clicking the file, go to properties and copy the name, then right click and paste in the command window... this eliminates mistakes.. and don't forget the.zip part.. the push will take about 5 minutes...
Then install the rom from twrp.....
So what I am trying to do is get my feet wet with doing some dev work and basically I'm trying to figure out how to (without flashing anything, i want to remove the stuff myself):
De-bloat the stock sense rom and/or just remove all of the HTC garbage and use a different launcher all together without if affecting the system (Im not too sure what is acceptable to remove and what needs to stay in the /system/app/ dir)
Remove the annoying WiFi in the status bar
any and all help is much appreciated and even just pointing me in the right direction
Well you are going to have to flash something.

I guess what I was trying to say was I wanted to be able to do the work myself rather than flashing a zip someone else made to get rid of like lets say the wifi in status bar

Here's state of the art for today:
1. Hack DNA to make it look like non-Verizon to the htcdev.com site. Here's a new painless method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109862
2. Go to htcdev.com and follow link to unlock bootloader. Note that this will WIPE YOUR "SD CARD". It's the only thing that does that. No problem with ROMs, etc. Not even a "factory reset" wipes the "SD", but the bootloader unlock does. You can do a backup before rooting if you install ADB on your PC. See 3a.
3. Install ADB on your PC http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/ and test the connection with "adb devices" command.
a. Consider backup of DNA before unlocking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
4. Install a recovery.
a. Dowload a recovery to your PC, either Clockworkmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051547 or TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994662. Extract the recovery.img file to a folder on your desktop,
b. Connect your DNA to your PC. Open a command prompt in the folder with the recovery by shift-right clicking in that folder and selecting "open command prompt here".
c. Type "adb reboot bootloader" without quotes and enter. DNA will reboot into bootloader. enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and you're there. You're done with the PC.
5. Install superuser and busybox.
a. Download superuser http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip to your "SD card".
b. Reboot to recovery. You can start recovery during a boot by holding down the volume down button during power up of phone.
c. Use the install zip function to install the above zip. Find links to wipe cach partition and Dalvik cache. Reboot and you're rooted.
d. Install busybox from market.
6. Change to a kernel that can write to system. Most reliable is LK 0.9.5. This will also save you considerable battery life. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106178
a. Download the zip to your DNA and unzip it. There is a boot.img file and another zip file with "kernel modules".
b. Download flash image GUI from market. Use it to find the boot.img file and flash, ignoring the warning about modules. (hard way is use ADB and fastboot flash boot boot.img)
c. Use recovery to install the modules zip package with the install zip function. Wipe cache and Dalvik cache
and reboot.
7. Install Titanium Backup. With this, you can simply freeze or uninstall any app, system/bloat or otherwise, but it requires the system write kernel to change system files.
6. Stronly consider switching ROMs to Viper. All the good of stock but better in so many ways.

While all of this is very very helpful, I failed to mention that this isn't my first rodeo, While I have firm understanding of ADB and rooting and flashing, my approach was more of the "behind the scenes" kind of stuff like what goes on inside of the ROM (tweaking files and what not) I'm at the stage where im trying to learn how to cook a rom(i guess some would say). I've already done so with CM10.1 for my Nexus 7(compiled from sauce), im farily comfortable with linux and my way around the OS. I've got the kitchen setup as well as apktool and what Im trying to learn is how to use these tools to their full extent.
like to make the boot.img unsecure, create a "flashable signed zip", remove non essential apps, the starter stuff
A little bit of background about me: I love computers, im going to school for a Computer Science degree, this kind of work has always interested me and I cant seem to get enough of it, ever since ive discovered this site i cant keep away and i love this communty, I've always wanted to just do more than flash someone else's work, i want to give back and start being able to do things.
Like i said before thanks to everyone for any information its all much appreciated!
I am very new to the android world, seeing as I am a recent iOS convert. However, I am still struggling with all the terminology and technicalities of android and require assistance (perhaps a lot! :cyclops.
I have managed to root my G2 (VERIZON MODEL) but am stuck there. I do not know how to install CWM or TWRP, nor install any custom ROMs like CM or Gummy.
So will anyone be kind enough to guide me through the process? Thank you.
P.S.
I have searched through the threads in this forum regarding installing custom ROMs and am still confused.

first download twrp for your device, http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2vzw/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-g2vzw.zip
plug the phone to the computer, make sure u have usb debugging on in developer settings of phone
since you are already rooted, place that file recovery img to the IOROOT folder.
once done, rename the recovery file to recovery.img
one done, CONTROL + SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK, OPEN COMMAND PROMPT HERE
then type this
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
(IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt on your phone, type su in the command prompt to get it then allow it on phone. once thats done then contine onto next step blow.)
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
adb reboot recovery
once its complet just reboot the phone and you should have twrp installed!
once twrp is installed, you can dl the verizon version of paranoid android here

and

dl the file, drag the files to the phone, dont place into any folder though.
to install, go to the ioroot folder again, control shift right click open prompt again, type adb reboot recovery
phone should reboot to recovery, go to settings, then select USE RM-F instead of formatting, then go to wipe, advance, select dalvik cache, system, data, and cache. IMPORTANT DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE!!!
then swipe to wipe
then go to install then install the paranoid android download first, once its installed, hit the back button on the botom right, then install the GAPPS, then reboot the device your done.
Or you could just download the recovery.img that u choose, and flash it using the app called "Flashify". Easiest way by far and works perfectly for me everytime, using both TWRP and CWM whenever I need.
Once you have that done, installing a ROM such as GUMMY is fairly simple since it usually has the instructions right there in the OP of the thread. Pretty straightforward.

So I take it that I put the "ioroot10" file into my phone over the USB, then extract the files of the TWRP file, then place the extracted TWRP file inside of the ioroot10 file? Also, I did the control+shift+right click, but there is not OPEN COMMAND PROMPT option. Sorry for all the questions..

no, you place the recovery.img to the ioroot10 folder, ioroot10 stays on your computer.
control + shift + right click = open command window here
Just use flashify its free n so much easier

Hi, I'm noob so I can not post on the developers questions.
I'm having this problem
6. Wiped /sdcard, can't reboot from recovery: You thought you had the ROM file on the sdcard, but you didn't, and wiped everything, so without a ROM image, you can't boot into system.
Solution: Put the ROM file where your ADB binary is (usually inside platform-tools folder in Android SDK directory) and rename it rom.zip. On the device, boot into TWRP, select Advanced, then ADB Sideload. Connect device to PC. From here, run "adb" and hit Enter to check for your binary version, if it's anything lower than 1.0.3.0, you need to update the binaries by re-installing the latest Android SDK. Once the device is in sideloading mode and is connected to the PC, type "adb sideload rom.zip" and hit Enter. Now you'll find the ROM on the sdcard, flash, and you're done.

Everything works fine, kindle drivers for windows, SKD, ADB, etc, except that when I use the command adb side load rom.zip I get:
cannot use rom.zip
I need to know how to proceed and if I need a fast boot cable to transfer this image to the kindle sdcard.
Thanks in advance for your help.
