Easy root access for (nand) HD builds

Here's a very easy way to gain root access to your Nand HD builds.Some have mentioned something called z4root from the market but every time i put that in search it couldn't find it. What i DID find was an app called Super Manager that works like a charm and has many functions such as task manager,apk manager, file explorer, and app back up. What you want to do first is go to settings(where you can access just about anything..shake capture,full screen mode,font size..etc.)then go to 'enable root function'. After that,you'll be able to go into root explorer..and enjoy.

If you can't find them on the market, you can always find them HERE

hey thanks lude. that page must have eluded me cause i had no idea it existed..probably because i never really checked the android only pages. i usually hovered around the hd2 android pages.anyways,thanks.i have one question for you..i hear allot about busybox but i'm not exactly sure what it is..or the magic behind it. could you explain?

just search z4root on google and the first thing is the link from here
Google is Your Friend

People have said that z4root does not work on desire hd builds. Can anyone confirm?

Dung8604..iv'e heard the same thing...Another reason i went ahead and used Super Manager. Well that and the fact that it has so many options.

Basically it gives you additional unix/linux commands so you can deploy different tasks at the root level. Similarly, it's like having a registry editor in windows for you to slice and dice around.

i cant remove apps from system
but titanium backup have root right
is this will help ?

I'm gonna give it a shot and report my findings then. Thanks.
Edit: I've gotta say this is definitely worth a go. Don't know if everything works as described, (such as app backup) but I'm definitely looking at my system files. I tried copying the miui music app into /system/app directory but it said not enough free space. Strange, but I will play with it some more tomorrow. Thanks for the find!

SYS App Unistaller will take care of the System Apps you want gone.??
EDIT::: Anything in Squash may have a issue. Not running a "Squashed" ROM so I can't test.
Doesn't hurt to try...

Not working

Market Apps will not install

I've tried searching for this but I haven't found anything that works. I was on the SiulMagic's sense port and wiped/flashed to MIUI earlier and began to have issues with downloading apps from the Market. Hours and 3 different ROMs later I'm not back on the Sense ROM and I still cannot download anything. I'm getting a "Download was unsuccessful, please try again error" on every app and I have no idea what to do.
I've tried every combination of Force Stops and Data Clears that I can and it isn't helping.

That's strange to be honest. Did you go into titanium backup and then find the market and then select wipe data? Might help

god i am dieing with the same issue did you ever get yours going

Wild shot here can your try clear data, and all that jaz then try to uninstall update for market, then try?

Already tried all that did a superwipe but every time you first launch the market it automatically updates

I think all you need is to delete the smdl2tmp1 from the folder .android_secure on your sdcard. Its known to cause problems - helped me also.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Yep, exact same issue here. I flashed siulmagic's new port last night and since then have been unable to download from the market no matter how many different wipes and roms I try. I made a nandroid before flashing the sense rom of my perfectly functioning CM7 and even going back to that doesn't allow me to download from the market anymore. This is pretty messed up and hopefully a fix is found for this soon

Do this...

After alot of testing I have found out the problem does not have to do with your rom or your phone its your google account try testing with a friends account or create a random one it will download apps fine but even if you get a new phone using your current account you will have the same issue. For now you should be able to use the desk top site.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Alright, so yeah it is definitely not a rom issue and I was able to fix my problem by accessing the Android Market website from my phone and downloading an app from there. It downloaded and installed successfully from there and now my market is downloading all my apps normally on my phone from the market app itself

just tried it did not work for me sent google a market help message heres to hoping

Aaaand my post has been succesfully ignored..

A long shot: unmount sdcard, try to install something.
A very long shot: do you have enough space for installing stuff?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Sounds like an issue you need to talk to a developer about fixing. This error that you are recieving, is the after math of a developer including and old outdated Market app. It would help to wipe or update but it seems like you are having issues with that too. You need to talk to a developer about this old Market app issue, and how it can be fixed. Hope I helped.

Thanks did that last night, market help got back to me at 5 with a message saying they are working on it. All of of the sudden everything is working perfect don't no what they did but glad they did it.

I had the same problem but it may not be the same answer. There is a new Market out, which is bloated with jpegs. It seems that there are different Markets for each phone model. I'm running i9100 too. So, look for vending.apk sgs i9100 and download it. It may not install when you try it. In that case you will need a rooted phone. Delete vending.apk from system/apps then copy the downloaded one to same directory, do not install it. Reboot the phone. It should now work. If it doesn't, you will have to try and download another version of vending.apk

@TheGhost- Tried ur suggestion but still having the problem.
@inkyadrian- Will try your suggestion n let u know...

Mine just updated itself today to the new version that includes books and video. It didn't even ask. I was on Wi-Fi and it kept saying "no network found, retry?" When I went back to 3G it updated itself but it took awhile. I don't know if this might be related to your issue.

hi
just got a new htc desire hd
and there is no android market on the phone
how can i install it to the phone
thanks

Are you definitely sure that it isn't there? Considering that it does come installed stock.
Otherwise, install it from this link: http://code.google.com/p/synergy-base/source/browse/trunk/system/app/Vending.apk?r=239
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

You really should go back to wherever you bought it from and ask for an explanation.
If that doesn't work out for you, a simple way to install it without connecting it to your computer would be to install ROM Manager and then install Google Apps from there. I personally would take the new Market from the XDAForums.
Hey, if you are going to install the market, it might as well be the new one.

How can he install ROM Manager easily without the Market, and what use would that be? I've merely provided the apk, that's all there is to it.
To the OP, remember to allow installing from unknown sources under Settings > Applicationa
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

I see your point.
I was just assuming that if he didn't have the market, he probably didn't have some g apps either.
Doing it either way is easy enough, and in any case, and if you're going to install through an apk, then you might as well take the new one (that said, I haven't checked out your link as yet).

Does ROM Manager give a flashable package or a bunch of apks? Because again, if he isn't rooted, he can't flash zips either...knowing ROM Manager, I'm presuming they are zips.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

ROM Manager deals with installing Google Apps the same way it deals with any other ROM. It is a pretty useful thing tto hhave, especially because a lot of ROMs ship without Google apps.
So yeah, I'm guessing that you would have to root.

That's really strange, I've had no problems at all with mine! What ROM are you running? Maybe its a bug?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Sugggest you back to shop to ask for an explain. By default it comes with HTC Sense and all Google apps. If you sure it is not there, maybe the shop flash you another customized rom?

as far as know its the standard rom the phone came with
its wasn't root etc.
its not a UK phone its from Kuwait but it has English etc on it
i was wondering if it doesn't have apps market as standard in that country??
i got it online so would mean posting back, emailed them and that dont understand why it didnt have the market on.

If you go to settings > about phone > software, could you post the info from there on here please? Just to determine whether your ROM is standard or not

You can get the latest Android Market.apk from here.
(It's also on XDA in a few threads.)

Hmm...all stock. Strange.
Did you install the Vending.apk from my link, and did that work? 1.86 is very old, that might be why it doesn't work as well.
If mine didn't work, I can fetch the previous version for you.

Youtube app not showing my subscriptions

hi,just discovered this afternoon that my subscriptions on my youtube account arent being displayed. I keep getting this message "No subscription". The same applies to the Youtube app on my mobile phone. I checked the web version and they were actually present (Subscriptions). Does anyone have this same issue? I cleared the cache and data but still not showing my subscriptions.

Hi. I have the same issues with my A500. Even crashes all the time. Really upset. Will try to flash another ROM.
Sent from my Desire S using XDA App

It seems like maybe te app has lost your login info. Try going into Setting > Applications, and open the YouTube settings and clear data. When you open the YouTube app again, it should attempt to log you back into your correct Google account.

Same here, clearing data did'nt work. In the carousel it shows a couple of my subscription edit: (well they are just recommendation) videos the rest is all random junk. Are you guys on the new Epiphany rom?

I'm on stock Honeycomb and I've cleared settings,cache and data gut still the same issue.

Ummmm no, just the fix. If you're using a non-deodexed ROM you'll need to delete your YouTube apk and odex then flash the fix via CWM.

The app seem to have corrected itself. Now the Carousel displays all my subscriptions,the same goes for the widget
