Hey guys, I was trying to root my phone, just so I can overclock it a bit so it goes faster ;_;
and now its stuck at the red triangle and not sure what to do ..... this is what the log thing says...
Starting ADB server...
** daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

Should I turn the phone off and try turning it on? I don't want to risk breaking it, if its still "flashing" its been stuck at the red triangle for about 10-15 minutes now...
It sounds like maybe the recovery didn't flash correctly. Pull the battery, it wont brick it. Then boot to the bootloader, and see if it is s on or s off. If its s off, we will try flashing a recovery. Give me a minute to get on my laptop, and ill post a recovery for ya.

Edit: I attatched a PC36IMG of Amon Ra recovery V2.3. Make sure it's just named PC36IMG, and put it on the main directory of your sd card. Boot to the bootloader, and after a few seconds it'll scan and ask you to update. Press Vol up to select yes. After that completes, try entering recovery and see if it worked. (this is all presuming that you are S off)

I checked the bootloader and it says that S is still on. @[email protected] I'm gonna try putting your file in the SD card, and try autoroot 2.3 again, or should I use 2.2 ?
no use the newest, there were no code updates after 2 (i think) just updates to the files. try again....
edit: ya i realized where the script went wrong. you got eng build flashed fine, but the bootfrompc recovery never was pushed. just run the script again. if you get stuck at the same place again, just pull the usb and plug back in.
So weird now.... whenever I try running Autoroot 2.3 it says it must be syn... but when I syn it says the following:
=================================
Starting ADB server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
Checking MTD configuration...
Phone uses the old block size.
Firmware version '1.17.651.1'
Battery is at 82 percent.
Got Root!
Checking for needed files...
ERROR Could not access the SD card!
Make sure your phone is set to charge only and your phone is reading the SD card
properly.
Press any key to exit...
====================================
However, if I try running it in Charge Only mode... it says this....
================
Starting ADB server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
The phone could not be found or was not ready. ADB and Fastboot report it as
'disconnected' instead of the expected 'device'. Make sure ADB debugging is
turned on, the phone is in the correct mode and that you are using HTC's Evo
drivers that come with HTC Sync.
Press any key to exit...
====================================
SO CONFUSING @[email protected]
so do what it says... mount in charge only, make sure usb debugging is on (it might have turned off on the eng build, just double check) and plug in nice and snug. i'm sure xhausx will have u all fixed up by tomorrow if i dont first.
Now it says it can't read the SD card in charge mode... omg lol, ima reboot the phone. maybe that will work.
soooo much work, all I wanted to do was overclock the CPU a bit, THATS ALL ;_;
so much easier on the huwai ascend xD
Well... I'm new on this forums, but can provide a small donation if some one can help me root my phone so I can overclock it I already have SetCPU purchased.
I'm kinda noob, so be patient >.<, thanks!
use unrevoked lol.
I dont care how my phone gets rooted, I just want to overclock it, would prefer the easiest most noobiest way of doing it, if you dont mind ^^;;
My friend is good at this stuff, but his away on vacation for the next 2 weeks, what terrible timing :\
unrevoked, I think I tried that? Not sure... could you provide a link? Thanks!!
I was about to say...
Btw you can get much better (and I'm talking like 50% increase) without overclocking by flashing the newest cm7 nightly once it is released...

I don't know if it helps but maybe you have an intermittent flaky cable? Only other suggestion that I did, but highly doubt it actually helped me, was literally don't move yourself. What I mean is if you accidentally moved the cable or phone, there could be a less than one percent chance that the data hiccuped.
I really doubt this but when I flashed mine, I was on my bed with the laptop and phone on the palmrest. I didn't move myself on the bed for fear I might cause the phone to brick. It sounds crazy I know!
I doubt it too but with previous phones, the data cable they give you isn't the greatest quality. Sometimes some cables, the microusb plug doesn't seat and lock itself in the socket. I am grasping at straws and this probably isn't what is wrong but it is just ideas...
Or maybe it is a sign that you shouldn't overclock it.

Okay... so I shouldn't root the phone then? I mainly just want to increase its performance and maybe get rid of some of these useless apps it comes with.
I forgot to mention, I bought the phone 2 days ago, from Sprint all stock, and they updated the phone there, so its got all the latest updates and such, and I noticed that interferes with roots? So does that mean I can't root right now?
The only rooting experience I got is from Huawei Ascend Cricket... was easy as downloading file, clicking perma root, and it was done... xD, now if only evo was that easy :S
No of course you can root and you need to in order to flash a rom. Try unrevoked it is also one click

Agreed...its the only way I tell people to use
The sd card thing is just a bug in this version, it doesn't recognize the card if you are running the old Eclair software. You can get around it by updating back to froyo or by starting it while the phone is in fastboot or the recovery.
Aha so here is xgausx... I was wondering when you would get here man! So ya listen to him its his auto root script...

Okay thanks!! I will try it in fastboot, hope it works >_<
Some have also mentioned it working better using htc sync from Sprint instead of HTC's website, may be worth a try.

If your phone is not bootable you can restore it by flashing the RUU through
Fastboot. To get there turn your phone on while holding Vol. Down *NOT VOL UP*,
then push Power to select FASTBOOT. You will see "FASTBOOT USB" highlighted
with red when it is ready.
It is very important that your battery does not die while restoring. If needed
your phone will always be able to charge when turned off.

thats kind of weird, can you go into the recovery and use the StartRecovery script to bring up AmonRA on your phone? Once it comes up you will be able to mount the sd card as a disk drive by using the USB MS mode, then look for a file called soff.txt on it. That should show what happened to cause unrevoked forever to fail. Can you also double check whether or not it shows s-on or s-off in your bootloader?

I will be covering on the sub-topic of :
☞ ϟUnlocking Bootloader
☞ ϟRooting
☞ ϟFlashing Kernels
☞ ϟUnbricking
Why unlock bootloader ?
*Allowing custom kernel to be loaded for better performance and newer android version goodies
Stock Kernel are from Android Eclair therefore it's dusty and old
It's risky ?

☞ ϟ 4 Unbricking
How to classified soft bricked?
-Bootlooping (Staying at bootanimation)
-Connect a usb and having green LED light
-Connect a usb and having red LED light (Maybe still on luck if stay on)
This can be fixed by flashing the original 2.1 firmware the same method flashing kernel ☞ ϟ 3
How to classified Hard bricked?
-Doesn't boot up
-Led doesn't light up
-Doesn't charge
I have done this far and what can i do next?

Good work..
Good try. I hope that the thread will be improved as the time goes.
I have some corrections and some comments.
Ill start with the comments, I think your starting is too much but its fun, the rooting part should be before the unlocking part and you maybe need to add more,but I'm not worry about this as it is a new thread
Lest correct some things
The manufacturing date is at the back sticker on the phone and not on the battery,that's very important because the date on the battery can tell for example 11w26 and on the phone 11w33 and this virtual x8 will have hard brick....
When you go for unlocking another important factor is the simlock,I know you have link a thread about the danger but you maybe want to add it.
I had found another thing but I just can't remember it...lol..

Great tutorial!
Great tutorial.. I unlocked my sister's W8! Thank you..
I rooted the phone, yet forgot to unlock the bootloader. Is following the method described viable to unlock the bootloader, or will it somehow brick/be detrimental to the phone.
Being a sticky I think this thread should be correct as much as possible.
Hence I request the OP to implement the corrections pointed out by stamatis to this thread asap.
Guess I bricked my phone. When I try and switch it on, it vibrates and then gets stuck at the Sony Ericsson text. Can someone please help ASAP? I tried the method of reflashing it to its original firmware but it's not working. I don't know why.

Question
Ist there really no possibility to unlock a bootloader with 11W29?
Device: Oneplus 8 pro
I have tried to install PixelExperience ROM by following their official WIKI: https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/instantnoodlep/install/
And everything worked perfectly, the phone butted into custom rom without any issues.
Just after doing so, I rebooted the phone to bootloader and proceeded to install custom "avb_custom_key" in order to lock OEM again. After completing this step the phone doesn't boot, it displays yellow message "your device has loaded a different operating system" and just boots into bootloader menu.
I can't unlock OEM again because I can't reach developer menu.
Any ideas or did I just screwed up big time?
For future generations: fixed it using OnePlus Provided unbrick tool https://forum.highonandroid.com/t/how-to-unbrick-oneplus-8-or-8-pro/181
If not for this tool - my device would bein the trash can now. Thank you OnePlus.
