But the problem is that I can not even get temp root. VISIONary says there is root but the terminal says permission denied when I try and get root access.

Seriously?! That's it? Ha!

What?
Why do you think that this is so funny. You have been their at one point and who knows someone else could have the problem and now they know what to do. Attitudes like this is what will lead to the downfall of the android developer community.

No dude you got me wrong. I'm just amused that the problem is really solved that simply. It would never have occurred to me to try that. I've only just started playing with visionary on my phone about half an hour ago so I have virtually zero experience rooting the mt4g so far.
Was not talking **** but I totally appreciate your supportive attitude and I agree with your statements. I was a super-noob and am still pretty darn noobish. I actually enjoy helping where I can and I put links in my sig in case they come in handy for others.

Oh... Sorry for coming off so harsh.
Do you have any questions or need any help?

Since this is no longer development related, I am moving to General section

Okay. Sorry for being off topic. But if you need help please ask here.

No worries, your heart was in the right place. I think I'm ok for now. Going out of town this weekend so won't be able to play with this until probably tuesday night.
Also kinda waiting for CM6 to be available for our phones.

Yup Cyanogen Mod 6.1 will be amazing. They have already booted it but the status of the ROM is unknown

How to root
First Question? Do you get and OTA Update (You can check by going to System -> About Phone -> Software Information. If you have gotten the update then under Android version it would say 2.2.1.
Next you need to follow this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225
What I did is I downloaded the program droid explorer (PC) (http://de.codeplex.com/) and it set up the whole adb system. All I did was to plug the phone in and copy the two files using Super Manager (Phone) and the ran the 2 commands minus the adb part of the command.
Download Visionary (http://android.modaco.com/content/t...350/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/) and then copy the apk file to your sd card.
Then mount your phone to your pc and copy the two files on to the root of your SD Card
Then open up super manager and go to settings and Enable ROOT Function, and show hidden files.
Then go the the copied files and cut them (Hi-light check box and hit the pair of scissors)
The keep navigating up one level until you cant go up anymore.
Then navigate to data
Then inside of data select local and paste the files there.
Then plug your phone in but dont mount it ( When you plug in it pull down the notification bar and select USB CONNECTION Change Type and change it to charge only.
The open Droid Explorer and it will recognize your phone
Look on the tool bar and hit the icon that looks like the command prompt icon.
The type su an on your phone you will get a prompt for superuser on your phone accept it.
Then copy and paste the following commands
insmod /data/local/wpx.ko You should get an error stating "function not implemented" this is what you want
dd if=/data/local/hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Then type sync and wait about 5 min and then reboot.
Complete Credit for this guide goes to grankin01 I just broke it down step by step.
Hope this helps

[Q]My made custom ROM did not install correctly

I tried to make a ROM, and it is not installing properly.:crying:
I data-resetted everything and formatted system, but this ROM is not installing correctly because I had removed some system apps and also added a few of them. But after a reboot I saw the system apps which I removed.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

Can you post updater script you are using under [ hide ] tags?
Was your /system mounted before you flashed your rom?

first question, how did u make ur rom?
how did u make the zip file?
how are the files placed inside ur zip?

I think he just grab someone else's ROM and edited it as much as he wanted and then grab the Updater-script from Hell-lock and thinking "hey, this must be works!" and now, look the result. No one has success to make a Custom ROM without a kitchen (Editing the .zip).
If i helped you, Press the thanks button. don't say it

to be honest,
i never used kitchen to make my rom,
i had to code the updater script manually,
@OP.
you need to study the codes first and know what you are doing,
you can't build a house without proper procedures, same with ROM building,
you must learn to research and be patient when you fail,
it happens all the time,
in most instances the phone won't boot and what i always do is to go back and think over what went wrong and what must i do to resolve the issue,
we can help you as much as you can but please try to help yourself understand the situation a bit more.

Thanks for motivating me. I know what is the problem now. I did not mount /system before flashing?. Added that to my script... All working fine now.
@GermanyGSG-
How the heck could you create ROMs before kitchen was made .. Eh? Its a matter of bash and edify... No kitchen needed.

Maybe a wipe+flash your rom will solve the problem.. Have you tried that?
Why you changed that file? You should never do something like that unless you know what you are doing.. always keep a nandroid backup just in case..

Never edit system files unless you know what you are doing.... Wipe system clean and install rom over...alternatively download app called softkeys/ button savior root to enable on screen softkeys

titanium and kitkat : sd card problem

Hi everybody!
I can't use the external sdcard to backup my data with Titanium rooted. There is obviously a bug since it says I can't write on that directory/card. I already checked with scandisk. It was fine.
I heard about a bug in Android Kitkat. A story about wrong / new permissions. I am surprised that today, this problem is not fixed yet. I saw a solution where I have to modify some lines in the permissions.xml but ES Explorer refuses to save the file !! Moreover, people report a bug with the bluetooth ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537793
Actually, I only want to flash a THL (Thailand) stock ROM although I am using a XTC stock ROM (Philippines). If I do it, I suppose it will reset my phone since these are different countries and CSC.
Boring. I am stuck now. Can't save my phone. Any ideas please?
Thank you!

If you're rooted , try this path /storage/extsdcard/Titanium Backup, or if you modified permission.xml already search for media_rw (grant permission rwxrwxrwx) then choose /mnt/media_rw/extsdcard/Titanium Backup.

Er,... Thank you but did you actually read my post? it doesn't work for me! I tried everything about that.
Thank you.
Edit : my bad, actually, adding some permissions, Here and there AND REBOOTING solved the problem. However, I'm surprised since the creator of the tuto I posted said we can't reboot or we loose the changes (^o^)

Glad you solved it , yes you need to reboot after you set the permission , except for media_rw , you need to set
the permission again after every reboot (for me).

Try to Changing The Fonts

I want to Install the Fonts i attached in the Post JameelNooriNastaleq in My OnePlus 6T Android 10 Rooted Device but Im afraid from boot loop and losting my data.
Have anyone try it ??

I personally find safier to use Font Changer Magisk module

If that's a Magisk Module then you can flash it. If things go South, it's pretty easy to remove

Try what? It's just a zip with font files in it.. That can't be flashed. You need to extract those ttf files and import them into an app/module like @Striatum_bdr mentioned. Not everything works right now. I tried Fontio a few days ago and it wouldn't load any fonts in Substratum.

The .tff files are in zip but can anyone try it and tell me feedback. I have data in my phone and scared to lost it. Im just switched from samsung to oneplus.

System fonts are quite tricky to change that's why I good you towards the Magisk module that let you 'import' your own font files without any risk

Take a back up and do whatever you need to do (stuffs you feel that are risky) . Even if your phone is bricked, you will still have the data.
