Having issues unrooting!

I'm using flipz 1.56 RUU and for some reason, when it tells me to connect the phone to the PC, it says it cannot be found. I usually use a MAC to connect my Hero and all sorts of stuff, and I just found a PC to be able to unroot. What seems to be the issue? I know the phone is connected because I can look at it's folders and such.

I'm having this EXACT same issue... But, if you can look at its folders, go into the notifications and set it to "charge only" and make sure USB debugging is enabled.

You need to install HTC Sync on the PC in order to use the RUU.

Grrr...oh well unrooting I stay

Am about to unroot so I can take my Hero in to sprint, I have dust under the screen. Anyone want to point out the best (easiest) way to unroot?
I seen a post where it could be done by just sdcard, would that or using the kitchen be the best way to go?
I am running a 2.1 ROM.
Thanks!

Method 1 is dead simple

Just 5 steps?? WoW
I looked for a little bit today at work and could not find anything this easy. LOL
Anyone tested this?
1. Download the following file: http://www.multiupload.com/Q3RMV5MTRF
2. place in /root of SD card
3. Reboot phone into HBoot mode, by holding Volume Down
4. Press action (the trackball) when prompted
5. Reboot phone

while i havent done it, so cant confirm, the unroot from sd does seem to be the most foolproof way to do it. all their going to look for is the correct recovery.img and stock feel, so it only makes sense

Cool, Thanks!! I am going to give this a try (15 mins before I run in to sprint) I am going to hate to go with about my custom rom and add the added stuff I get with root!

HBoot is recovery mode, When you power up the phone holding down the volume button.

{EDIT} Still not sure what the problem was. But I ran the older kitchen and tried the rooter and it worked just jine. {edit}
OK, I did the 5 little steps and then I went to kitchen to root my phone again..
I phone reboots and when I try to go to HBoot so I can nandroid a backup I have I get this screen.

[Q] Webtop without dock

Hi I am new to this forum and I'm not an expert, I really would like to use the webtop without a dock,i tried following the instructions posted here but nothing happens, I don't know what am I missing. Am I supposed to run the install file on my computer or on my phone? When I run it on my computer a black screen appears and some command and then I says to press any key and that my phone will reboot, but nothing happens. Am I supposed to do something to my phone?
I'm on att gingerbread, not rooted, I enabled debugging mode.
Thank you

You need to root and probably deodex
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium

You are probably right, but why then on Fenny's post it says no root or deodex needed??

oh well look at that,
you run the script from your computer but your phone has to be connected and have all the right drivers on your computer

Can you please be a little more specific, I have the drivers for motorola media link and the phone portal, also for usb connection.

do you know what ADB is and how to use it?

No. I don't know... I just enabled the debugging mode on my phone

ok connect your phone to hyhour computer and make sure the computer knows it is connected
then run the script

good advice
If I were you I'd be VERY CAREFUL and investigate and learn all you can BEFORE doing any mods on your phone. Too many phones have been bricked (rendered useless) by running things you know little about.

I did that but the doesn't do anything, it doesn't reboot like it says on the script. I know it's connected because when I enable debugging I see the pop up screen for the internal memory and the sd card

Thanks for your concern I really appreciate it.what I like about this is that doesn't require root

Root
Hi
I also had exactly the same problem.
I wanted webtop, without really rooting my device.
It didnt work out. Also ran the script no reboot etc.
I then rooted my device, Fenny assisted me to create 2 files for the stock 2.2.2 atrix 4g (The older version of the os)
I copied them manually using root explorer, rebooted, and walla, i had the webtop working.
I still have those files.....
If you need them, PM me, its worth a try...

[Q] Wont boot, wont take factory ROM.

Hi guys.
After triying everything i know about and searching on lots of forums and google, i decided to give good'ol XDA a shot.
Anyway, someone from my family asked me if the phone he just got from his brother would take whats app. It was a HTC HD Mini with the stock WM6.5, so i said "i don't think so", "but hey, you know what? i can install Android in it, and then you could use it like any other Android device!"
...yeah, good idea, for sure.
So i searched, and decided to follow a guide posted on HTCMania.com, wich was the translation of a ROM thread here, on xda, this one: LINK
I followed everything, and i got to the step where you have to execute a .bat file called "install LK.bat". A CMD window appeared, but something went really wrong. Or not, i dont know, the fact is that, suddenly, the phone's screen changed from black with green texts, to this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It will stay like that, no matter what you do, say, pray, etc... . In order to turn off the device, you have to remove the battery.
So i investigate a little more, and try to upload the stock WM ROM via SSPL. I do it in the bootloader menu (what a wonderfull sight after all the good years that my beloved HTC Prophet gave me...).
FAIL!!!! It says that i can go home and cry, because of an error called "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID"
Wonderfull! so i start looking for every ROM i can think off, factory, cooked, everything. I try to install them via SD card naming the ruu "PHOTIMG", and then turning on the device with the bootloader, it starts loading it, "Loading..." "Checking..." "0028002 not allow". And back to the bootloader tri-color screen.
At this point, i dont know what to do, my phone is Spanish, the service provider is Movistar, but the phone is unlocked (i dont know if it was unlocked by someone, or if it never was locked in the first place).
There are a couple of SPA ROMs outhere, one is generic, and the other is Vodafone. Not to mention, neither of the two works.
PLEASE, if someone can help me in any way, it will be MUCH appreciated.
THX to all.

go to http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.p...wrong one,then it can't flash n say error. ..

Thanks for answering, but that page should sue me for excessive bandwidth usage, LOL. I've already tried lots of ROMs from there, but not a single one would get past 1%, they all spit out the same error: 294: Invalid vender ID

[Q] Why doesn't "Root Info" give any manual root methods?

Just in case anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about, there appears to be a new "Root Info" category on the N10 forums:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1914#tutorial
But none of those methods listed are manual, they're all some "one-press" solution pretty much, which isn't helping with learning some valuable information about how Android or your device works. A quote on one of the methods reads "No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition" and I don't really agree with this kind of mindset for beginners (just my opinion though).
In the past, I believe I simply installed a custom recovery, grabbed a SuperSU flashable zip, flashed it, installed SuperSU from Play Store, and had root like that. No idea how well that works now though (I usually just install a custom ROM for root these days).

Good point! Here is a post from styckx that I used to do my first root, what appealed to me was, just as you and he have emphasised, this was NOT a one-click thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38115408&postcount=224

Agreed, any Nexus is the easiest thing to root, thanks to all who develop su solutions, custom recoveries, and Google for fastboot.
I don't see how much does a toolkit simplify what's already plain simple.

Dim capacitive buttons, No more?

So this is suppose to fix the dim capacitive buttons, even if you go to settings and put max brightness to the capacitive buttons it's still quite dim, the files are NOT provided by me and it's just for testing, original thread of this is here:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ding-issues-fix-it.108694/page-6#post-7005014
A user in my thread provided the info, don't know if valid..use them at your own risk(and report if you see anything). I've dl the files and checked the batch files, all I see is an automated way of rooting the phone ..didn't test it, so I don't know if OP provided "custom" files to enhance the brightness of the capacitive buttons(I wanted to share it and see any results if someone tries it ):

yeah this completely wiped my phone and I was without a OS on my phone, I could still boot into TWRP and Fastboot, however I cant use a toolbox to flash stock. Im guessing it locked my bootloader. Anyways after about 3 hours or so I was able to flash stock rooted through sideloading since i could still get into TWRP. Pheww thought I was done for.

Maybe it should be removed if it is that dangerous.

I read on the original thread, someone took a look at the files and it seemed to be just a method of rooting, however I don't know what happened on my end. Anyways, they go on to say that they couldn't find anything would change the capacitative brightness levels. They also said beware it might wipe the phone clean haha. I didn't read it until I ran into troubles.
I might've gotten a bad download or w.e but the file size is like 800mb and came from a "drive" rather than a download site which seems suspicious. 800mb to change key brightness seems excessive

All I can do is lol, good times, good times.

I personally wouldn't trust an 800mb download to JUST fix the capacitative buttons brightness lol.
