[Q] Root help please Coming from the Evo

Hey guys,
first thanks to all the devs on this site period point blank!
ok now to my question and I know I'll get a answer from a great community like xda (this is my home)
I'm trying to root my Mytouch 4g tonight following trues method, and while I'm sure this has been brought up in the past even though I didn't see it. I for the love of god cannot get ADB to recognize my Mytouch4g. are there any specific drivers I need to download first before trying the TRUE method?
sorry guys for the q if it's a repost but I would love to get this beast rooted before the nights over and couldn't find an answer after searching for the past half hour all most
***nevermind yes I'm an Idiot lol you do need the drivers from http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-4g/downloads/ ... I feel so so sooo dumb right now***

Not sure what method you are trying but if you are talking about my ADB method, I will be happy to help you out. You shouldnt need to DL anything. The drivers should be on your SD card.

sorry about that bud I thought TRUE was Grankins method that he posted, got it sorted out and am now rooted, but I am curious as to where just for future reference where the drivers are located on this phone on the sdcard or internal? and thank you very very very much for the quick response, it's devs like you that make me love this site!

Its all good, just wasnt sure what method you were using. The True permaroot one. I gotcha now.
You should have a file on your sd card that says HTCDrivers.exe or something like that. If you just click on it it will automaticly install them for you. If you dont have the file for some reason or you cant find them try PDA.net. Or hit me back and I will post them.

bad As$ thanks man, I'll look for it in a bit, and after one night with this phone, I'm gonna start studying up and learning it thoroughly because I really really want to cook up something tasty for this community, you guys give so much, I think it's high time I try to give something back the best I can. Again thank you for the VERY quick response to my OP

ops

ok so i had the 1.2 overclocked rom downloaded to my verizon galaxy tab and downloaded a flipping verizon update and it reset my tab . i lost the market and ofcourse all my nice stuff. can anyone point out the easy way to get market back please

Download this apk and browse to it on your tab and launch and install.
By the way, what is "ops" supposed to mean? Titles are supposed to be descriptive of topic.

Ive tried to download your link file but when I try to install it says there was a problem parsing and wont install. Any advice on fixing that? Sorry about the post title I dont post much so im sorta a noob. Thanks in advance

Re-download and try again.

Tried that about 100 times hehe. Unfortunatly always does the same thing. Unable to parse. Not sure what that means or what im doing wrong. Thank you for trying to help though.

Try this.. http://androidadvices.com/guide-recover-the-lost-market-app-samsung-galaxy-s-froyo-update/ it's not exactly for the tab, but I don't think it's too much different.

[DEV][APP] Acer update decrypter

I made a tool so we can decrypt the acer updates easier.
Also added decryption key change if acer decides to change the key.

select the encrypted zip update by pressing input file and hit start

where do I get the encrypted zip update? I saw the new update 1.144.07 yet I couldn't find it anywhere to download? Once I find it and get it decrypted, what would i do next?

you have no use for it if you dont know whats it for....
its for advanced users... not noobs

Thank you for your extreme support. If that is the case please change the title of ur topic to DEV Only. I thought the point is to help everyone. Cheers

clearly dev of the year here...
thanks for nothing.

How 'bout telling him what it does, instead of just putting him down and calling him a noob?
@lpachuong, there's nothing we can do with it -yet-, since we have no way to re-encrypt them. It's possible we could do something like build a system.img and flash it with dd, though for now it's only good for poking around in the images.

Too many users ask lots of questions that could be avoided by reading the posts / some other topics. I can totally understand him.
Of course it's no problem to answer 1 or 2 questions - but there are many questions and lots of them do repeat.

for command line one can use this xor 0.2 (aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz.htm).
usage:
xor.ex input output 0x12

It looked to me like he had read it, and didn't understand it, possibly to a language barrior.
Also, saying that it's not useful to him (in a polite way) is a lot better than saying that he's a noob and has no business working with it, and would have taken just as long to type. There's a point where he's just being rude to be rude. :|

man... what are you talking about. the OP only says, click this and that..
He asked, WHAT COULD HE DO AFTER HE HAS DECRYPTED THEM.
Absolutely legitimate question.

Sorry, it's not. This info is available right here in this forum. All you have to do is look.
There is a difference between a noob and a newb. Right now all I see is a newb asking for information that can be freely found if one spends some time looking for it.
If you notice, the OP has helped quite a few people with legitimate questions and/or concerns.

Thank you for your understanding. But I should apologize for causing the troubles. I didn't know what the purpose of decrypting the zip file was, when there is no further step after that.
I guess I will be just more patient and wait until we can get access to the recovery mode. I just can't stand it when Acer has no update in Australia. I messed with dd the system and flex img before as well. Hopefully during this time, OP or someone else will come up with something that can re-encrypt it. I saw the chinese update.zip used signapk to pack the package but I failed to do so.
I don't mind being called noob =) People usually call me nerd so it sounds good to be called noob sometimes =D
peace.

dude you want to know how you're supposed to provide information and provide support?
read one of my guides below.
anyways dont apologize dude, just dont mind some of these cranky guys.
If I decide to keep my Iconia, I'll consolidate all that information and make a guide somewhere.

[Q] Unpacking system.img from Flyer RUU

Hello Nookers,
Remember that Sense 3.0 Port for Nook Project a long time ago? Well, the thread got closed because there wasn't a full product ready.
I'm almost done with my first working Sense Port, but I just need one more thing. First, lemme explain. These apps fail to works because the dump I used was an EVO View 4G dump, not the Wifi-Flyer's dump. So I have now managed to get a hold of a Deodexed Flyer RUU. I have extracted the ROM.zip containing system.img, data.img, etc. What I need now is a way to extract files from those. I have access to a Mac and PC but if ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY I will install Linux.
Thanks,
King Black Bomb.
Moo

if they are img files you can use IM disk to mount the img file on your PC. then you can access them and remove the files that you need to remove.

Dude, before you got banned two weeks ago, you said this would be done in 4 days, and you are still working on it? This is why you are not considered a credible developer.
You can use winimage to extract img files.

As I agree with the user above about your lack of credibility I'll add some info here for you to try to achieve your task. Attached is the program I use to extract images. ALL YOU DO IS DROP THE IMG FILE ON THE EXE AND IT WILL EXTRACT.

Yes, I did say that, and it was a mistake on my part I thought I would have found the program by then. Turns out a didn't. @xboxexpert I have tried unyaffs it does not work on either Mac or Windows. WinImage? It doesn't work. For some reason it seems encrypted. Same for IMDisk.

why are you even still trying this? HTC HAS MADE SENSE OPEN SOURCE AND WILL BE RELEASED ANY DAY NOW. www.htcdev.com

As I understand it, there aren't plans to make HTC Sense open source. This simply lets you write applications that make use of HTC Sense-specific APIs.

Woohoo, more free lawls! Get 'em while they're hot!
The kid has been stuck on the same step for several months, regardless of whichever RUU he stumbles upon on bittorrent. It's pretty pathetic at this point...

did you extract the exe from the rar?

Wooo - make fun of the kid! Why would anyone want to encourage learning! I'm a hypocrite, but only this once: If you're going to reply, at least attempt to answer his question or make progress towards an answer.

As long as actual development happens. I'm all for support.

You really need to read his old thread to understand -- in it, I was one of the only members trying to help him... at first. He proceeded to dismiss everyone's guidance -- consistently claiming to know better -- and continued to lie about "progress" for weeks. The extent of his "development" was copying and pasting the Sense apk's into /system... seriously.
There's history here with this clown, so please save your judgments for someone else...

You can try DiskInternals Linux Reader:
http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/

OK, so you need to extract system.img files. You don't have to install Linux, you can run it from a Live CD. And mount loop the .img file to a folder on your system.
Mind PM'ing me a link to the download so I can do so for you? Then you can go ahead and do the port as you would say?
-Racks

To everyone who says I'm not a dev:
I have been making progress, because at first it was complaining about audio drivers, then files in /system/etc, and it kept on going. Finally, and i THINK this is the last step, is to push Wifi-Only frameworks, apks, and the /system/etc folder.
@racks11479 thanks, but I'll only tell others to do my work if I can't. But again thanks for offering.

What are you talking about, aren't you saying you need help extracting the system.img? I'm offering to help...
Isn't that the particular request you are asking in your OP? This is a developer community, everyone here welcomes help where needed. Not one developer on this forum has ever denied any help when they were stuck on an issue.
Not flaming you, but trying to help so you can continue the port you are working on. Don't let pride get in the way of progress.

No not pride, it's just as soon as I say yes people will say "oh, the kid need serious help. Can't even extract a system.img."

Frankly, they have been saying that for some time now.
As it is, this thread has NOTHING to do with the nook, and needs to be closed. Frankly, i wish you would refrain from making these posts. It is obvious that you have no idea what is going on, and your posts are only serving to make this public info. I welcome everyone working on their dev skills, but strongly encourage those who are learning, to post about it in the right way....

This topic just needs to die. I saw this topic right after he created it but decided to lay low because I had hoped the topic would die out. since it seems like it wont i then must beg for people to stop posting here. Developers and other commenters have been very genorious in giving time and credibility to this poster (me excluded) and all he does in return is deny your help. He has been offered solutions like the ones given before but either he is not smart enough to handle such tasks or he is just a huge troll. So please ignore him. Please let this be the last post in this topic. This has gone on long enough and just needs to stop. If you don't then i will be forced to start posting pictures of dudes in g strings.

Need help to unbrick note 4!!

Hey, I'm new to XDA, but I have been searching through the threads to find a way to unbrick my note 4. I have a T-mobile note 4 that I rooted and one day I was on it and it all of a sudden went into boot loop, this happened once before and all I had to do was take the battery out and turned it on and it was fine. The second time it got stuck in boot loop. I have followed a lot of videos on youtube and have tried a lot of things people have said to get out of boot loop. I downloaded odin and got the software specific to my note 4 and put the device in download mode and when I start odin and get it all set up it fails right after. So I wanted to ask for any help specific to my device. My note 4 has Team win recovery and when I go in there is nothing there. Its like everything has been wiped clean. I have tried to reinstall note 4 software multiple times and made sure I have all the drivers. I have a iPhone 7 plus(going to switch back to android) and the note 4 has been sitting in my room for a few months now and I would like to unbrick it so I can use it or do something with it. I know what I have said so far may not be useful, please leave a reply and I will give any other details that you may need. Please help me out, trying to fix the phone and so far have been out of luck. Also I am not the most tech savy when it comes to tech....Thank you to those of you that decide to help out, it will mean a lot

now bootloop

Yup I have tried reinstalling the software with odin but still no luck. Followed a few things on youtube but that didn't work either. I think the problem is that I have team win recovery and have no idea how to get rid of that. I hope someone can chime in. Other wise the note 4 will just still in the corner. Honestly don't have a use for it, but I have a anker external battery for it and the phone will last two days easy. If I fix it ill probably swap sims and use that. Let me know if you find a way to fix the issue... good luck man....!

I'm glad you have your phone working, however it troubles me that you asked for help publicly but will post your fix privately. XDA works as a forum because of everybody sharing. Just keep in mind that someone else could benefit from your fix (or find) without having to contact you. All they have to do is say it worked for them or not and thank you for sharing.

Okay, so the first thing I did was download the latest version of odin. The problem with my phone was that I accidently completely wiped the phone and the only thing I had on it was TWRP (Team win recovery) and I tried to install the firmware from Sam mobile but for some reason it kept failing. Thats when I finally decided to download some other rom and the link is https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rom-hyperdrive-n4-rls-otatweaks-lock-t2919441 after downloading that put it in the AP spot and click the box and press start and it should work. If not let me know.... Sorry to get back so late I've been super busy, if you have any questions let me know
