[Q] [SOLVED] Huawei Impulse 4G AT&T Read-Only

Here are the details from under the battery:
Phone: Impulse 4G
Model: U8800-51
H/W: Ver.C
FCC ID:QISU8800-51
Here is the problem:
I attempted to root my phone using SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.
It said that it was successful.
Superuser lists several programs that have root access.
Using Root Explorer, I attempted to back up my wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin/.
It gives me an error "Warning- wpa_supplicant cannot be renamed because the file system is read-only."
I tap "OK", then i tap "Mount R/W" at the top of the screen, but it continues to say r/o and won't let me move/delete/rename/replace any files.
Any ideas?
I thought the file system might be on some kind of read-only media to prevent tampering, but that doesn't make sense because how would an OS update take when they finally release one? I'm not trying to flash my ROM. (yet) I am trying to modify a system file.
My apologies if this problem has already been posted. I searched for 2 or 3 hours last night, but I didn't find anything.

OK. Since no one can answer my problem with the current available data, i think it's time for new data.
I originally used Super One Click to root my phone (v 2.2) so I used that to "unroot" it. I then rooted it again using the same manner as the first time.
This time I copied the log.
Maybe someone can read this and see if I made a mistake?

Maybe try GingerBreak. It worked for me on the Froyo rom for the normal U8800, maybe it works for you too.

Thanks, I tried Gingerbreak, but couldn't even get it to do anything. I appreciate the suggestion, tho.

As I read from the debug code, I can see part of the code is from the GingerBreak, so it wouldn't work anyway. Another option is z4root, which didn't work for me, but it may work for you. I read that some of the earlier builds for U8800, some rooted their phones with it.

I'll try a different setting. Currently had it set on Auto for the exploit.
Thanks

Well, ZergRush made Root Explorer all chinese and wouldn't do anything.
psneuter made root explorer give me an error message in chinese, then it closed.

My problem was solved here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19846498&postcount=170
Possibly... Root Explorer is still in Chinese. Looking onto fixing that now.

Try using Z4Root. I rooted my U8800-51(AT&T Impulse 4G) using Z4Root and it worked without a problem.

help with root

Can anyone help me with rooting U8800pro running the official 2.3.5 ?
I tried all the methods I was using for the U8800 but all of them doesn’t work... Any advice ?

i think its not that easy to me to do it manual
but thanks anyway for trying to help

Of course automatic ways are easier, but it' s not that difficult, just need a little more time and attention.
The other way is to find a prerooted boot.img and put it to .cust_backup/image folder(replacing the original). I haven't pro model, so my boot.img will not work

i tried this way but it didn't work too.. i found a prerooted boot.img.. replaced the original one but it didnt work

To just say didn't work doesn't help. Write where you get an error and which is. Then maybe I can help you(or someone with more knowledge).

i got the prerooted boot.img file for the U8800pro... replaced it with the original one.. But the phone is not booting.. It stuck on the huawie logo (the 1st logo before the one with the animation) so i had to put back the original one to make it work

I mean the error on manual rooting.
As fro prerooted boot.img file, are you sure that is compatible with ther rom you have? If is from a custom rom will not work. You need the boot.img of a phone with the same rom as yours, just rooted.

well, maybe it wasn't compatible with my stock rom.. do you have anywhere where i can find some prerooted imgs ?
and about the manual root.. i didnt got any errors coz i didnt know how to wirte those codes :s

Sorry I' don't know because I haven't a pro model and I don't know if there is a rooted boot.img uploaded fro pro mode. Maybe a member with pro read your thread and upload his img file.
-About manual rooting, you need to open DOS command prompt window. It' s in all progarms -> accessories
If you put the DoomLordRoot program in the root directory of your C drive and rename this folder to DoomLordRoot.v3(if have another name), you need to just put the commands one by one as given on the link I posted.
You just need to put first the command:
cd \DoomLordRoot.v3\files
to go to directory in which adb.exe is.
You can check if you are in the right path if you enter the command:
dir
afterwards. If you are in correct folder you'll see the files which are in c:\DoomLordRoot.v3\files directrory listed.
After that just start to follow the directions of the link. Just hit enter after every command you put. If you don' t see errors after every command you're ok. If you get an error on a command, write it here, for farther help. I don' t think that you' ll get an error, because I've done this proccess about 5 times and never get an error. But if you do, just put it here to see if we can help.

Thanks alot bro for the help.
well, i followed what u said but i think i got confused somewhere.. i'll type what i got.

Put su or sudo before command. like this "su /data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"

Yes, seems that you didn' t give the su command before(I think I've include command su, on my tutorial but I' m not sure. I'll check it).
If you see the symbol $ this means that you haven't get root rights yet.
Seems that zergrush succeed, so everytime after adb shell command, first you need to give the command:
su
If device is rooted, you'll see that the symbol changes to #
I think that you' re in good way though.

when i put SU in the begining it give me this :
su: permission denied

if you rebooted the phone you must run zergrush again.
Zergrush is the hack that unlocks the root account temporary. If you didn' t success to put su program on the right place, rooting access loosed after rebooted. su makes root permanent, busybox is an advanced shell and superuser is the app which used to give or denied root rights to apps which asking for this.
First be sure that zergrush is copied to data/local/tmp and you give to it the right permissions(all commands are in tutorial)
These messages mean that zergrush running

after that check if root succeed by input su command. If you get the # sign you're good to go to continue(exit shell etc)

i'm so sorry, but what do you mean with "If you didn' t success to put su program on the right place" ???? what where is the right palce ?

Some of the commands on tutorial handle the su program.
Push it to /system/bin(this is the right place), change its ownership, permissions etc.
For these commands to succeed(and also the commands for busybox and superuser), first need to enter to root account, by command su:
adb shell (press enter)
su (press enter)
these give the # sign which means that you are root.
If you don' t do this all commands will fail with errors as:
permission denied or cannot write to...

now i'm getting this:

i think i will give up

Droid 2 on 621 refuses to root

I've been ditzing with a buddies phone for almost 3 hours now using every method I can think of to get this thing to root and theyre all failing. Short synopsis on each:
Pete's moto tools 1.07: fails on final step but log shows "permission denied" on each step
1-2-3 method: fails after running ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin by closing (or crashing) adb interface. have to reboot the computer to get any devices at all and it shows as "offline"
rageagainsttecage ON THE PHONE USING TERMINAL: crashes after ./rage*.bin, cannot re-open terminal without force-close unless I uninstall terminal and reinstall, and I'm back to square 1
z4root: fails, no idea why, crashes similarly to above method. phone must be rebooted or z4root reinstalled to be able to run again without FC
I'm about to try superoneclick but I'm not optimistic. Any ideas?

You cannot root 2.3.4 sorry
Sent from my Droid Incredible using xda premium

no solution at all anymore? :[
I could swear the Pete's latest version said it would work on 2.3.4
what about using an SBF to earlier firmware and then root?

Nope. If you sbf the phone will be bricked.

ive done all the same and had all the same issues. cannot root.
REALLY WISH I HAD LOOKED ONLINE BEFORE CLICKING UPDATE. FACK!!!!

would/could it work?
I've been reading on-line and apparently the Droid X also runs .621, I found a few references to a linux sbf that turns the phone into a .621 version of the Milestone X and can be rooted then flashed to a custom rom.. is there any chance that a similar work-around would work on the Droid 2?

[Q] Some Urgent Question about HTC Magic 32B (T Mobile) Please Help

I have htc magic 32B T mobile , i know its very old phone but i can only afford it so please help me about some questions:
I almost bricked my phone because i dont know much about Custom roms but happily i was successfull to make it working again by "RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_3.12.531.1_FRG83D_release_signed_4" that i downloaded from some site but now when was checking the features i was unable to get back into recovery mod, i mean restart phone and press and hold Power button+Home , instead of recovery mode it gives me a big exclaimation sign with android picture.
I googled alot for it but didnt find any correct result.
If this mode is not showing then it means i am unable to load custom rom or etc.
and the second thing please tell me what is stable rom available here that have android version 2.3.5 or high and also please give me a very basic tutorial about installing it.
Third and last question: when i try to root phone with SuperOneClick , it gives me error like this

i would like to know of a way to root mine also i just bought one lol

Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.

Also interested
I've tried everything for my defy xt555c straight talk phone running 2.3.7. through research i've found that the phone requires a patch to be a applied for the root to work.. however when using SUT it requires my phones SPC code. This is my current issue, i've tried calculators that apply a special algorithm to the ESN which produces the six digit code. I've tried ##data# then logcat to get the spc(although i think this is for msl?(msl might be same as spc?)) I've tried superoneclick and it gets to step 7 and locks up. All of the programs i've used either lock or or can't get permission..
I guess the real question is does anyone know how to accurately acquire the SPC code for the defyxt555c? any help would be greatly appreciated.
THANX!

BUMP- any information would be super greatly appreciated.

So turns out the spc and msl codes are not the same. The spc is a one time use used to program the phone. The msl is the code used to reprogram and this is the code i require.

How did you discover the SPC and MSL are different?
I have the Republic Wireless Defy XT 557, which I believe is quite similar to your device. Have been unable to obtain SPC/MSL.

I found it through google i will have to check my history.. as for your spc you can find calculators online and there is actually an app in the market that will do the same thing. Its called meid converter.. it will give you the spc.. but not the msl.. ive tested it on my other phone and its msl was diff than the spc. I havnt found a way to get the msl yet though.. i have been looking for a while.
My other phone is a galaxy precedent which i was able to get the msl using the alogcat method. That doesnt work with the motorola though.

My xt 555c is the first android I've owned, and I mistakenly thought so little on-board memory wouldn't be an issue since I could slap a large micro SD in it....
I'm running into the same problem as the rest. SuperOneClick, etc... don't work on the XT 555c. Something's missing. Not sure if it helps, but here's the log I get from SuperOneClick. I've noticed for many people it hangs on step 7. For me it stops at step 3.

I've now gotten the run-around from Motorola and straight talk. Basically the official stance is "if you were stupid enough to buy a phone with so little space, you're SOL."
It's a shame because aside from the idiotic lack of space (what engineer designed THAT?!?), it's a great phone. As it is though, it's useless to me if I can't increase the space by rooting it. Any suggestions on another decent phone that I can get?

Did you tell them that you were trying to root?

I explained that I was happy with the service, but needed to be able to modify the phone so as to extend the internal memory. The reply I got was that they don't even have the MSL because they never under any circumstances unlock the phones.
I know that no one has been able to successfully root the phone (or if they have, they are being quiet...curse them ), but has anyone successfully flashed to another OS, like Cyanogen?

There has to be something that can be done... i need to find one of these people who do this kind of thing and offer them money for a working option or something. The MSL is made by the service provider i am pretty sure. They take the meid and use their specific algorithm to produce the MSL this is my understanding anyways.

Here's a link to the thread, and a link to the instructions from that thread.
Will someone try it out on the Net10 version and report back? I've bought the phone, but don't want it if it can't be rooted, so I don't want to open it and risk not being able to return it.
Thanks!
