Would it be possible for you to make a nandroid of your current rom before attempting to update? 320 is a starhub rom and so far noone has made a nandroid of it

i am very new to Dell streak ( only have it 1 week ) ...what is nandroid ? I also have not learn to root it ...
I only play with X10 a lot ...

Nandroid is making a copy of all the partitions on a phone, system/data/cache/etc
320 (your rom) so far hasnt been dumped because it's a rarer rom and noone has come forward to dump it
you need to install a custom recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326 and select the nandroid option to do that
if you're new to android phones or dont want to learn all the steps, i guess you could also use multi recovery flasher

I see.... this set came to me as a replacement unit as the first set I bought on 6 May as a 2nd hand spolit in ear piece .. that one was 2.2.1 ... apps keep crash out even after factory clean reset ....
When got this set after 3 days reporting 1 to 1... it was 2.2 only.
BUT it is rock stable !....
I wonder should I up it to 2.2.2 ....

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but there's not a 2.2.2 build for region 13 yet. So you are at the latest.

The only public 13 rom is 320, and that's still 2.2, if there is a newer rom it hasnt been released yet

Rooting HTC Desire Z (step-by-step)

Hi guys,
I'm an idiot.That's nothing new, but here it looks that I'm double one I tried to root my wife's HTC Desire Z, but without success. I tried to use CWM Super-Su v0.96, HTC Quick Root and few others. But I'm not able to do it.
Can you please explain me somebody step-by-step, what I have to download exactly, what to copy where, what to run, to do and so on.... For example HTC Quick Root - after initial reboot to recovery mode I had to run 1st option "phone reboot" or something like that, but before reboot that I received some error message regarding rights to folder structure....So I wasn't able to install Superuser or SuperSU. I also tried to run Superuser.apk but of cousre I have no rights to System/xbin to copy there su file...
Her Android ver is 2.3.3 , HTC Sense ver 2.1 , SW number: 2.42.405.4
PS: During this process I need my data untouched in the phone (pictures, contacts, SMS). I don't want to upgrade Android ver, I just need root access to install Titanium Backup and delete 90% of useless apps.
Thank you very much,
idiot Rado77 :cyclops:
PS: I'm adding answer also here. As you can see below, there are few ways how to do the same thing, but for example in my case worked only this way:

Thank you very much Marquin. I spent appr. 6 hours and read whole internet, but I couldn't root that crazy phone I used almost every type of rooting method, but I allways receive some error message regarding rights, or it repeatedly freezes on some concrete step... I don't underdstand because I sucessfuly rooted my Xperia U and LG P690 during 15 minutes. But this HTC really shocked me. I'm an idiot, I said that...

The only way to truley root your phone will be following the xda wiki, the cyanogen wiki, or strawmetals PDF guide. Don't use any other method or you will have issues, some could brick your phone some could just make things more difficult later.
You will need to downgrade first, yes this will wipe your phone. You can use apps like sms backup + to save call logs and messages, link account to google to store contacts, have pictures on sd so you don't loose them.

Ahaaaaaa, so it looks that downgrade is necessary part of root process. Thank you very much for info. I think that this could be the right way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261

When I was rooting my DZ I used that:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)
for downgrading...

Finally I used pages on WIKI:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
and I can say that rooting of this phone was the heaviest what I did :laugh: I had to chat with some guy named GUHL who helps me with whole process step-by-step, he checked outputs wiht error messages in my cmd and as final he gaves me the link with beautifull 2.3 Sense with available root.
Ufffff...that was really interesting way!
PS: I'll never root any HTC phone !!!!

Hey all!
I finally decided to root my phone after having it for about two years or so. I don't know why I never bothered, but decided to do so today. It was a bit of a hassle, even with the instructions that I found (the same ones I found in this thread), but I finally got it to work! I just flashed my first rom (Gen.Y VisionX R2 ) and so far I'm liking it, but I don't really know what's out there in terms of what I can do (customizing options, speed/performance, overclocking, and all that).
But anyways, great links in this thread

without downgrading to 2.2 Froyo, there's no way to Root desire z 2.3.3, if you are already on 2.2 and you can continue rooting procedure. make sure to follow the instructions correctly and (copy past the command do not type it>> IMPORTANT) :cowboy
Ahmedrzvi

Recently got my vision on 2.3.3 and already soff . Now I'm not sure what to do.
Which root method could be the best option now

The rooting page on XDA links to the PDFs that have step by step guides, but the tools that are used/referenced are no longer available for download. This is a step above the Cyan page which is just plain gone.
Can anyone point to currently active steps in rooting the phone? I have it downgraded, I just need to root it.

Im in a similar situation, bought a Desire Z from Ebay, already has bootloader unlocked and s-ff (was like this when I got it). Unfortunately, I upgraded to Gingerbread before I realised this was an issue with rooting.
Have tried a few different guides, but it appears as though the fr3yo file is no longer available.

thank you im rooted

Hi.
I purchase desire z from ebay. From the first time i have some issues with the phone. Touchscreen was pressing by itself etc. I asked for help and told me that was digitizer fault. Before that i thought that may be they didn't flash the ROM corectly so i returned to stock froyo but i don't think i'm rooted.
I gave it for repair and after some days they gave me the phone back and told me that it is ok. To tell you then truth the problem it wasn't so intense so take it from there. I turn it on, played al little and turn it of. I made a charge for 5 hours. After that device turn on, go to menu and after some seconds reboot and reboot and reboot.
I have tried to install CWM with this method but i can't. At first step says "sending file" but after i got message "failed"
I know here are the most experienced guys that will try to suggest me a solution before sell it for parts.
Thank you very much

Changing ROM
Hello,
I rooted my DZ a few weeks ago, without any issue; I did everything which was mentioned in the instructions, so I suppose I have S-off, rooting, and whatever. Of course I don't remember anything at all.
Now I'd like to change ROM, mainly because, in spite of using CM 7.2, which is widely recognized as one of the fastest, I am having several issues with performance. I read around that a "superwipe" may be useful, yet I don't remember having done it last time. So, my question is: what are the steps I should perform? I should maybe mention that I have ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.4 installed.
I hope this is a correct 3D to post into, if it isn't please take into account that I am new in this forum :angel:

frst i tried many scripts and roots and now i cnt even soft reset my phone...
bt i didn't give up
i installed cwm on s1 and flashed superuser 3.1.3.zip
thn installed the same cwm in s5..cwm was showing green lines due to the resolution difference i guess..so wt i did was opened cwm in both s1 and s5..saw the option to install zip from sd card in s1 and navigated to same option in s5 (if it was at no. 2 in s1, i pressed volume down in s5 so it navigated to no. 2 and pressed power button to confirm it)
thn i made sure tht the zip file was in the root folder of both sd cards and was on last number alphabetically so i flashed it on both phones respectively..jst tried my luck and i got my phone rooted...

i got what u said n thanks.but the point is that cwm of s1 is different then s5.that is y the recovery is screwed up.i thought of this method but i dnt want to screw the stock recovery.coz if we need cwm for our phone then we have to have the stock recovery.but i cannot make a recovery.img without root.so i am in a fix. if you can provide me with the stock recovery i can build the cwm for this phone.and the main difference is that s1 has msm8225q processor but s5 has a msm8625q.

sorry! untill you have the stock rom.you are stuck. and even if you have a stock rom we need cwm to flash it. without cwm there is no hope. and moreover its not a mediatek device so on-board flashing tool is unknown!.
i dont think any dev is on this phone yet. coz s1 has created more hype then s5. moreover the processor s1 uses has been used before whereas our one is brand new. i cant get a single matching phone untill now. i m on vacation so cant get on my system.
if someone finds a rooting solution, i am ready to compile CM

Okay.....how do I pull the stock image..?? Any way without being root?

no way without root! or i do not know. we need root to run 'dd; or any kind of back up.
i am kind of confused why only this phone has this processor and no other. its performance is great and believe me much better then canvas hd (except for 1080p vids). a friend of mine bought it at the same time i did. so nw my phone still fast and kicking whereas his showing lag.

Exactly!! I bought it 3 days back as a temporary phone while I wait for the my nexus,,,but I am pleasantly surprised by the performance and the smoothness......a friend of mine owns the canvas hd, and it has a snappy and laggy ui....but the s5 is just awesome....feels good too!!
So where exactly do we go from here? What are the possibilities of finding a root for this device?

just came across this thread. i own s5 too.
as read in one of the above posts, one guy who used Chinese method of rooting, messed up his phone.
and one guy was able to r root by synchronising his actions from s1.
so if the former wants to restore his phone, he may follow latter's way of flashing cwm and ask the latter to provide a factory reset backup zip which the latter can flash via cwm by seeing the cwm in another phone.

Still no way to root this one. Without root I cannot extract stock recovery.n without stock recovery I cannot build cwm

hey I tried the flashable zip from Micromax canvas 2 jelly bean it's successfully flashed but root checker says phone is not rooted!!!
bull **** yaar

if you have already flashed then its most likely screwed your stock recovery. i want my stock recovery to be intact for cwm.
but how about flashing this device from a pc?
if someone befriends a karbonn klnic guy please ask him how they flash this thing. if we get the tool them we can flash rooted FW.

Hi ,
welcome to the wonderful world of flashing...
Easy way out would be after you backup everything important in your phone ( pics , music , contacts , video....) to flash and stock rom again ( same you had) with Odin and start all over again....
Option 2 but i would trip knox bit would be flash a custom recovery and flash a custom rom....

while you're here is it possible to send the apps from another phone to mine, my roommates' got an unrooted note 3 with kitkat 4.2.2 just like my s4, is there any way to simply send an apk of those apps to my phone or is flashing the only way...?
because my cable is really horrible and to flash i have to walk a couple of miles to my friends house to use his cable and its REALLY HOT outside

We all been there....
Easiest way out is reflashing and start all over ......you can try reinstalling from your friend also but you may get into a bootloop and you would have to reinstall firmware again.....
another option would be to download a custom rom for you phone and extract from the zip the missing apps and re install them in you rom again ( with the right permissions usually rw r r) that would possible save you re installing every thing .

Using SP Flash Tool, flash the preloader.bin first.Use meta mode if not detected,all three buttons together while connecting and keep pressed until flashing starts.
If flashing was successful then your phone should at least be able to vibrate when you press the power button or boot if the correct files are present on your phone; else, flash other necessary files to make the phone boot up and start working normally again.
P.s. writing again and again is painful as I'm lazy-ass.
I'm thinking of making a thread about this but again,I'm lazy-ass.

What did you actually do?
What caused bootloop if full v3 rom was actually flashed?
Also,there's no custom roms on xdafrimware.com,it's only stock roms and make sure whatever you flash is for A350 only!

The only way you can remove it is by disassembling the device but doing that will compromise with your battery life.It should only be used in worst case scenario and everything else fails to work!

Mr.Ak said:
What did you actually do?
What caused bootloop if full v3 rom was actually flashed?
Also,there's no custom roms on xdafrimware.com,it's only stock roms and make sure whatever you flash is for A350 only!
You can find everything on our blog:
Good luck!
First of all, I apologize for my mistake. It was not a custom ROM but a Canvas Knight Stock ROM... The file name is this...Micromax_A350_V2_040614_KitKat_(by_xdafirmware.com). It's a version 2 (unmerged storage). However, earlier I had flashed a version 3 (merged storage) ROM and since it was constantly giving me trouble I tried to reflash version 2 ROM...But unable to do so...it gets stuck at 9.6MB or 0% in the SP Flash tool.
I tried the format+download option too. But in vain. Guess I am doing something wrong! What could it be? Thanks and God bless.
Btw, I have been through your blog in the past and benefited from the same. Thanks

Version 3 problem...

Version 3 booted well the first time...it went all the way...i was setting it up nicely...and it hung and just stopped. Ever since then I tried to reboot it would not load...the Canvas Knight logo with the sound would come on and then restart or get hung at that point. In short, it would not fully boot anymore except for that once!
So I decided to do away with version 3 and thought version 2 would be fine because that's what was originally on my phone...but now this is the problem...i mean the SPFT gets hung at 0%.
Thanks and God bless you.
On a different note, I would still love to have version 3 if possible since I plan to install a custom ROM...most likely Cyanogenmod....

Latest update...
Latest Update…
I finally managed to successfully flash a Kitakat 4.4.2 vs. 2 (unmerged storage) stock rom…I downloaded the file again from xdafirmware.com and flashed it. There was no problem. The phone has started and its up since the last one hour or so.
Before booting I entered into stock recovery and did a wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache partition. So far no problem. I have not yet switched on my wifi coz I am worried it might go off again and enter a bootloop.
Battery was 95% when booted...its now 94% since one hour...I have not used the phone at all though...
Now I have a barrage of questions…
1) The IMEI is gone…I know how to get it back. But would appreciate a proper guidance on this…I have tried using Maui Meta 3G ver 6.1 and was successful in restoring my original IMEI numbers. Is there a better way out? Or should I stick to this one? Should I use IMEI&SN Writer?
2) NVRAM WARNING: Err= 0x10 …how do I fix this…I have never tried fixing this before. So no idea whatsoever. I have no backups of the original stock rom. Greatest mistake I ever did.
3) How to restore my original serial number (S/N) of the phone? I have the Original S/N but don’t know how to do it. Also, is S/N being restored a necessary requirement like IMEI numbers since it is linked to the SIM/Network?
4) How to unlock the bootloader? This is the biggest headache. I believe one cannot install custom ROM’s without unlocking the bootloader.
5) What are the best rooting apps? Is SuperSu good enough to root?
6) Which is the best custom recovery for Canvas Knight?
7) Final question, how to go about using this tool Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3
Sorry for the trouble. But I have messed up many times in the last one month with innumerable flashing of the ROM’s and zip files. Now, once bitten twice shy I want to play safe.
So please let me know your thoughts if they are fail proof and time tested. Thanks for all your help. God bless.

Well I hate giving bad news to people but I might know what causing all this.
As you say,the phone booted fine now but you'll likely see random hangs and sudden reboots in using it,to be sure,use it for atleast 2 hrs constantly and then we can proceed further with your questions.
In mean time,check this post:

Well I tried using it for a while...no internet...just going through settings and checking...then I enabled Developers options and connected USB. Tried to check if the phone was listed on ADB etc....but then it went into a bootloop and kept shutting down after periodic bootloops...now its totally down...not responding at all.
Anyway, I think I know how to get it back when everything else fail. Until then stay blessed and don't give up.
God bless.

How?

The Phone has been up and about for the last 6 hours now...
Mr.Ak said:

Hi, Sorry for the sudden disappearance. I really didn't know how to reply to your "HOW"? But I knew there was a CERTAIN possibility of getting the phone back...I call it faith in God. And I have plenty of faith and I believe in the impossible coz I have seen some of the most impossible things happen in my life and around me over the years. So plain hope and faith in God was what I banked on. But I have no logical explanation to give on the phone starting again smoothly. I have been struggling with this phone for the last 45 days. And this is the first time the phone has really stayed put and it got booted in just one go!
Also your signature line was a source of continued inspiration to hit out against all the odds and doubts.
I would now kindly appreciate any help in restoring the phone to full functionality...I mean would love to hear answers for my questions from the previous post.
In the meanwhile, I did a bit of study on the Miracle Box and a tool called ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL_V2.1...
But, I don't want to jump the gun and get going...Will wait for expert advice. Until then God bless us all. Stay blessed. And yes, thanks for all the help. Shalom.

You don't need all those tool box.
Sp flash tools is enough to give life to your device.

Help required to set up the device fully...now that it is working!

Hi Ak,
Thanks for your reply. My device is up and about since the last hmmm...to be exact...26 hours. I didn't have any reboots or bootloops or anything for that matter.
However, I need to set it up complete...customization I mean...and these are some of the problems I am facing... Quoting a part of the previous post to save typing...

In the meanwhile, I have done a little bit of study and RnD of the miracle box/MTK Droid Tools/S&N Writer tool etc. on my old Canvas HD 116. And I realized that the Miracle Box is one good tool. The IMEI No. can be changed in a jiffy. Rooting is extremely easy using this box. I did via adb.
In short, a bit too confused with too much knowledge on hand. Looking for wisdom to apply this knowledge correctly. There could be many simpler ways too!!! Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Thanks and God bless us all. Shalom.

Okay don't panic!
Clearly your device is fine by hardware stuff so let's fix some myths and problem of yours.
Firstly,this is mt6592 so you don't have to unlock any boot loader stuff.You can just root your device using kingroot or kingoroot(google it).
For more please read out this whole section,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.com/2015/10/rooting-canvas-knight.html?m=1
Now I believe you have root by now. Now all you need to do is get a recovery and as you're on v2 you can find it here,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5W6R0DsDjWTU1o3TEpfWGFsMEE/view
This is philz recovery with OTG support.As you've root just download the IMG file and flash it though flashify,you can find it on Play store.So you've recovery!
Again,these are just suggested methods,you can do all that with other methods too.Also please stop wasting time on stuffs like miracle boxes and etc etc.
Secondly to get your imei back it would be very easy as you've recovery.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6-QF5uchBNhbFlfVk1wOEthbms/view
Just flash this file in recovery and everything shld be fine.
Now to fix Nvram error,just extract the folder from this backup zip,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByuIKfMkBBxBaXBZRHJnNHVRMVk/view
And using any root explorer(I prefer es file manager) go to /data root and replace nvram folder with the folder in this zip
Now the best recovery would be philz recovery for v2 but I greatly suggest you to flash v3 for a variety of reasons and custom ROMs.Yes,you need to shift to v3 to get LP or MM and new updated ROMs though you can still flash available ROMs for v2 which you can find here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/all-roms-link-for-v2.html?m=1
Very less isn't it? That's because storage barrier in v2.
You can find various mods here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/mods.html?m=1
You can find correct stock ROMs here,
https://canvasknightroms.blogspot.in/2015/10/stock-rom.html?m=1
Flashing the sim fix above will eventually fix SN too.
And yes many custom ROMs are bundled with SuperSU so you should use that.
To convert from kingroot user to super su use this guide,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ca...ck-switch-kingroot-to-supersu-easily-t3426965
And lastly mtkdroidtools is a good tool and you should definitely have it just in case for backing up stuff and tinkering with ADB.
With all that said,you should join our Whatsapp group for more faster help and updates by messaging me on my Whatsapp No. +919468519959
Enjoy!
Edit: writing all this is a pain in ass,at least one thanks is deserved

Hi Ak,
I went through your entire post and more or less got most of the useful and helpful information. I have not gone through all the links and will do so in due course.
I have been on your website and have read quite a bit and was happy to see the dedication and commitment to help people like us.
I am sure the phone like you said is stable and away from hardware issues. I will consider flashing vs. 3 soon. Yes, i agree with you there are more choices for vs. 3. I did peep into the website last week to see the big list of custom ROM's for vs. 3.
Last but not the least, God bless you. Shalom.
