Guys,
Would you mind to write up a tutorial how you root your DHD ?
I'm a newbie for android and i have no idea.. been trying to read articles and i still cant understand.
I have downloaded the file called dhd_root.zip and now what ?
some people are mentioning about the gscript and blar blar blar.. what is all that about??
i have no idea what to do now... please help..
*please do not flame me for not using the search function as i read few of them and i do not understand at all*
Thanks
I personally used Evostance's guide, it was very simple and easy to follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834427
That's the link. I do believe there are simpler methods now using Visionary. Just check the Development sub-forum and they have more tutorials there

Hey Sylpher,
I did tried to read Evostance's guide but where is the guide?
Step By Step Guide - Download link below
11/11/10 V2
http://www.multiupload.com/KK66WUNUWS
See the main thread for details on the root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805327 ----> i do not understand at all... all those code like listed below
Go to adb shell, switch to root (su) and do the following:
insmod /sdcard/wp-(version).ko
for example: insmod /sdcard/wp_g5ed1769.ko
This will disable wp (will be enabled on reboot though...)
dd if=/sdcard/hboot_eng.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
This will install engineering hboot
totally confused.
The link that he provides includes all the files + the tutorial (in a PDF file). So yeah just download that first and it should be quite straightforward from there on.

Sylpher,
Thank you so much for the info (The link that he provides includes all the files + the tutorial (in a PDF file).
I have no idea there is a tutorial file inside the zip.
I will give it a go when i got home and then pm you after that.
Thanks again.
No problems
You can try this too, a member here compile it. http://hemorrdroids.net/overclock-undervolt-your-desire-hd/
if you dont already have a file explorer then download astro from market place
download visonary r12 from here and copy apk file to sd card on the phone and install from there
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...722/10-nov-r12-test-visionary-one-click-root/
download superuser from market place and install on the phone
make sure usb debuggging is enabled on the, also unkown sources is allowed phone(settings/applications/development)
run visionary and don not check any of the 3 box on the screen
run temp root and let it finish
then attempt perm root it will ask for super user permission, allow this and the phone should root and reboot
to test it has work down load adfree from market place and see if it runs, if it does you have full root
simples

Although I wouldn't recommend anyone to rush into the act of rooting their device, do bare in mind, that the exploit we are using to obtain root will be patched sooner or later, so whilst thinking about it I would be very wary of applying any future OTA upgrades as so you may find you once more have an unrootable device
hey guys, thanks to this forum i got my new mt4g rooted and customized in no time the perma root method with gfree was the one that finally worked for me after trying 2 others..
anyways to the point, root explorer and titanium backup pro are both paid apps as far as i see on the market with this method you can backup your bloat ware and uninstall it for free and reinstall in case you need to.
1) get titanium backup free version
2) you must be rooted and s-off
3) go to your terminal emulator and type su
4) cd /system/app
5) type ls, you will see all files in the directory
6) look for the .apk file you need to backup, (for example Monopoly_Classic.apk)
7) then type, cp Monopoly_Classic.apk /sdcard , this will copy the file to your sdcard root
8) repeat for everything you want to uninstall
9) uninstall the bloatware with titanium backup
10) done
i have tested by reinstalling monopoly and the game plays like it did before.
cheers
. . . or just download a new ROM and flash it. If you really like Sense, you can get a Sense ROM. If you're not particularly attached to Sense, you can get CyanogenMod or one of the other AOSP ROMs. It's much easier and faster than doing all this crap by hand, and it's probably better for your phone anyway.
true, i have read here that the video chat apps have some problems with the 3rd party roms thats why i have not installed any roms on my phone but if it works on a 3rd party rom plz tell me which, anyways i was going to write a script to backup all the safe to remove bloatware so ppl can do it in 1 command... i can post that up later
thanks for your post, plz comment hows the video chat compatibility on 3rd party roms
I've seen a number of new captivate owners who seem to have issues obtaining root or CWM on their phones for the first time. I wrote this batch file to help them get over those first hurdles with a helping hand. I am not a programmer (as you can tell by my coding skills) but I hope this will help a few people out.
Requirements:
Captivate i897 device on Gingerbread
Working USB port
Working Power Button
Preview:
This batch file uses a menu to select the operation. For Root, it uses ADB commands to get a user to download mode and then launches and Odin 1-click to replace the Kernel with the Corn 7.0A Kernel. After flashing, it reboots the user to Recovery and walks them through installing Root from the Corn Kernel CWM options (requires a working power button!). After the user is done, it will take them back to the menu to return to the Stock Kernel if they wish. There are a few extra menu options thrown in for fun.
Instructions for use:
Turn on USB Debugging
Connect Phone
Extract contents of zip to a folder
Run Batch file
Follow on screen instructions
??????????????
Profit!

Thanks to Vashypooh for the Kindle Fire Utility which gave me the inspiration for this.
Thank you to 4-2ndtwin for the Odin One Click Creator that I was too lazy to download for myself.
Thank you to MTCarey for his Corn Kernel that I use in this batch file.
Thank you to all the devs and others that helped me along the way.
If this helps you or a friend out in any way please donate or Join Dropbox and get me some extra space.
Revisions:
V1.1 - Added the missing pause functions in the Root Procedure to give users time to read the instructions (thanks Machavity!)
V1.0 - Original (Here goes nothing)
Here is an alternative file to just install the Corn 7.0A Kernel.
1. Download an put in the root directory of KK4_Root
2. Run
Nice job on putting this utility together. Should be very helpful.
I will have to attach this thread to my sig.

And thank you for the files. They were the last piece I needed. I do need some real world testing on devices and computers other than mine to make sure I got all bugs worked out.
Took a look at the code, and this looks like it's going to be a handy piece of software for people who just need to do some common commands and don't want to wade through a lot of additional steps.
Well done.
Thanks. That was my idea. I've noticed many of the questions resolve around the simple tasks. By allowing a menu-driven batch file to take care of it, hopefully the users won't have as many issues.
This will allow a stock KK4 user to get root and CWM which will help them start their flashing journey.

after using the utility my kernel version is CORNv70A is this correct?
Yep. That's the correct version. I wish I could get the file size lower but it's already zipped at Ultra compression. The two kernel files make up most of the size with the driver file making up the rest. I wanted to add in more files/options but it would have made the file even larger.

I recommend this. Very accurate and helpful. I just want to ask, why do you you pick 7.0a instead of 7.06
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
Some people have stated that the 7.06 kernel causes issues on their phone. I use it on mine with no problems. I just went with the safe bet for the first time users.

Can I use the tool as an updater for example im running corn kernel 7.03 and i want to upgrade to the latest corn kernel using your tool
The tool will only give you Corn 7.0A or the Stock KK4 Kernel.
If you want to update to 7.06 you will need to download the Odin or CWM package for that version.
What if Corn 7.03 to 7.0a?
Yes. It will work just fine for 7.03.
You'll need to select the Root option which will install the 7.0A Kernel, but not actually follow any of the steps for adding root.
Select Root Option
Let it boot to download mode
Install it via Odin 1-click that script launched
Hit Ctrl+C to break out of script
You don't need the script to put you back into recovery which is why you break out.
Alternative Method:
Unzip downloaded file
Go to EXE Folder
Put phone into download mode
Run KK4_Root.exe
The ADB command to put your phone in download mode is: adb reboot download
Just open a command prompt to the downloaded/unzipped tools folder and type the above command with your phone plugged in.
Alternative #2
I added a new batch file to Post #3 to do just what you are asking.
Although HTC 10 comes with less bloat than most other phones, it still has apps preinstalled that some of us probably will never use.
Some of those apps may even run at boot and consume RAM and CPU. For this purpose I made a small script that will remove those apps instead of doing it manually via ADB Shell.
This script is for Mac/OS X/macOS. I think it can also run on Linux but I'm not sure because I don't use Linux much.
For Windows, it can easily be ported to command line. If someone is willing to do it, PM me the script and I will add it to the repo.
Apps that the script removes:
Boost+
Google+ Sense Add-on
Instagram (placeholder app)
LinkedIn Sense Add-on
HTC Mail
Facebook (placeholder app)
Messenger (placeholder app)
News Republic
TouchPal Keyboard (SEE NOTE!)
Twitter Sense Add-on
Voice Recorder
Zoe
HTC Help
IceView Case support
HTC Speak
Transfer my stuff
Google Hangouts
Google Play Music
Basically what the script does:
Mount /system as RW
Delete above apps .apk and containing folder
Reboot after done.
DISCLAIMER: Although I don't see what could possibly go wrong by flashing this script, be sure to back up your ROM before flashing as I don't take any responsibility caused by this script. I have tested it on my HTC 10 and I didn't have any issues.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you plan to remove TouchPal keyboard, make sure that you have an alternative already installed before or you won't be able to type any text. In case you're reading this after you already screwed up, download your prefered keyboards .apk file and install it via ADB. The script will stop before removing the keyboard and ask if you are sure you want to remove it.
How to:
Enable USB debugging
Connect your phone
Execute "adb shell" and then "su" and grant superuser access to adb shell
(OS X) make script executable (chmod a+x)
Run script
I am open for suggestions and merge requests, happy debloating
The script can be found HERE.
Hoping someone works on the windows version cause i suppose totally run this.
Thanks for sharing

All this can be manually removed simply by hitting uninstall with root access right? Not knocking the script, just asking honestly.

Just double checking, but I take it that root is required?

Ive tried some apps for removal of system apps but it didn't work. And since I play around with ROMs reinstalling and uninstalling app by app takes just to much time.

Yes, you need root because you need to remove apps from the read-only /system partition.
Got it. Thanks for the reply. I haven't had an htc phone since gingerbread and I mostly had Samsungs on Verizon so I never bothered rooting. I didn't get my 10 yet but I hope to root right away and get rid of things I think are bloat. Probably gonna need this script I guess we'll see. Thanks again!

very nice, quick and easy one step to uninstall the stuff that is safe to, thank you!

if you like i can take a crack at it, simple batch script should work almost out of the box as long as you have adb set up

will you make it for windows please?
@gillim74 @razrlover @dj_chapz
I have made a working copy for windows and added it to a fork of the gitlab repo here: https://github.com/ibrokemypie/htc_10_pme_debloat/blob/master/htc10_bloat_remover.cmd
I will maintain this as long as @dj_chapz does and will pull in any changes he makes.
I usually make changes after a firmware update if I notice any new bloat, but there shouldnt be much changes.
Also, this list is by personal preference, because some apps that I choose to leave others may want to remove or vice versa, so everyone should take the script as a base and edit to their likeing.

After running this (windows), and going into Settings > Apps, I get a Loading screen that never ends. Same thing in Titanium backup when it tries to build a db of the installed apps.

which update are you running? still marshmallow or have you gone to nougat? custom rom? and have you tried restarting and perhaps clearing cache/dalvik?
Device or resource busy
Read-only file system
Read-only file system
tried it but all the apps had the above thing ^
nougat,
oh it did work o.o saw the apps for a second, thank you! could i just add the sense apks into the script and remove it the same way?
Dare I ask... why not make a shell script you run from the phone? I'll give it a shot. I wrote one that creates directories so I can use FolderSync to restore settings from the cloud.

This thread is meant to help share programs and older files that have gone missing or have dead links and to collect everything in one place. I came here a long time ago to ask a few questions, but now I would like to return the favor by organizing everything so owners of the VK810 don't have to run around looking for everything.
One of the most common files I see asked for is TWRP 2.7.0.1. I still have my old copy and have uploaded it to Android File Hosts. The link is located below at the very bottom. In that link, I also include a stock rom in case anyone wants to start over along with the tools to do so. Other TWRP versions are also included. I also include some other programs as well, but they are mostly meant to act as a backup in case other links go down. Just to clarify, they are not my own. I just want to make sure everyone gets what they need. If there is anything I forgot to give credit for, I will add it as I remember or let me know so I can properly give the credit.
I don't want to take credit for anything here. I just want to help people have an easy time with setting up their device, but I will give out credit where needed.
For people starting out, roirraW "edor" ehT has made an extensive tutorial for the VK810. His roms work with LTE if you need it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-4g-reliable-to-root-install-t3283027
Since his Android File Host page is still working and he is still very active, I won't archive any of his work. Get everything you need from his pages.
For anyone that wants to return to stock, ttn1185 has a very simple guide on return to root along with the stock rom, but the link to the guide doesn't seem to work.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-verizon-lg-g-pad-8-3-to-stock-t2800857
To save time, I have included the guide I used and the link to the guide for returning to stock below. Credit goes to hyelton for creating it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Magendanz has been making new TWRP builds for the VK810. I included one of his older builds in my archive since it helped me out a lot.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-twrp-3-1-1-0-unofficial-t3691551
One way I managed to install it was to flash my recovery to version 2.8.7.0, run the recovery, flash the image using TWRP, and then restart. There are easier methods, but I used this one since it doesn't rely on using ADB or setting it up if you don't have it already.
Drgravy originally had the important TWRP 2.7.0.1, but his link to it is dead. The instructions for it are still relevant.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726707
For those that don't want to use ADB, you can copy the contents of the files to a folder you have easy access to, download/run a terminal emulator of your choice on the device, change directory to where the lok and flash files are, and use the cp command in place of push to copy the contents to the specified folders. Other than that, the other commands in the instructions are the same and can be followed verbatim. I believe it is easier or required to have root first to do this, so run Stump to root the device before doing this. It is also included in the link.
For people that do not need LTE, invisiblek has created a rom of Lineage 14.1 to work with the device. It is what I am currently using right now. While invisiblek gets credit for creating the rom, I give credit to thunderbolt128 for introducing it to me. He has simple instructions on how to install it and has a link to download the rom included in the post.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-invisibleks-lineage-14-1-rom-t3806903
I flashed pico gapps (ARM) when I was flashing the rom in recovery, but use whichever gapps (or none) that you are comfortable with.
Finally, here is my page with all of the files I mentioned before.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=278786
Again, I do not take credit for anything in here other than organizing it. I do hope it helps you a lot like it did for me.
