If this is true, the question is, if it is possible to flash a version TNBST_4_0A.1F.XXXXX onto my device and if so, how?
Defy MINI xt320: ROOT?
- Thread starter logamandu
- Start date
Yeah... statistics only...how in the name of GOD we'll get to root other versions???
If only I was a dev...
My turn to try :
XT230 - Android 2.3.6
Kernel : 2.6.38.6+ buildsrv@lxdex2 #1
Build number : 0A.1F.49
Flex : WE_Orange_France_v33_0803_FLEXTNBST
Baseband : 76XXU-USMEKOLYM-109806-8859
Software : TNBST_4_0A.1F.49RPSB
I got all the drivers and all.
Debugging is enable (however it seems irrelevant).
Bootloader menu is obtain with the power + vol down + cam combinaison, adb reboot-bootloader give a normal reboot (which is odd I agree).
However, when trying :
I get the :
and nothing happens as in slanche2 #418 post.
As I have a TNBST_4_0A.1F.XXXXX software version, it seems not to be linked with root-possibility as suggested in post #420.
However all of this give hope for a root possibility !
Good job everyone ! :good: But still work to do !

Well, it is among the first thing I've done only after I was sure all the drivers are installed! Including fastboot ones... or whatever they are called...
thing is this method seems to work only on some builds/ versions...
It works perfectly!!!
It really works!! Thanks a lot, man! I've been following this thread for some months, and now I registered in this forum just to thank leos0 and to say that it really works.
For all the other n00bs (like me), this is exactly what I've done (just more step-by-step instructions to the same things leos0 described):
1. Downloaded the zip file that was attached to the post quoted above ("root_xt320.zip").
2. Extracted the "update.zip" file into the phone's SDcard folder (I did this by connecting the phone to the pc in the "mass storage mode".
3. Extracted all the other files from the "update.zip" file into a folder on my pc.
4. Connected the phone to the pc. NOT in the mass storage mode. Actually, I turned the USB debugging ON (settings -> applications -> development -> USB debugging), but I don't know if this makes any difference whatsoever.
5. Opened the command line (I'm using Windows Vista, btw): start menu -> cmd.exe.
6. In the command line, went to the folder where the previously extracted file adb.exe was.
7. typed adb reboot-bootloader
Note: I'm pretty sure the steps 5, 6 and 7 can be substituted by booting the phone with the VOL+ and VOL- buttons pressed, as leos0 described (I've already done that), so it's a matter of choice.
8. The phone booted in the fastboot mode (in the screen there was a menu for me to choose between recovery mode, reboot system and something else. I DIDN'T CHOOSE ANY OF THOSE OPTIONS, since I was already in the fastboot mode.
9. Next, I typed fastboot boot recovery.img (in the cmd, of course. NOT in the phone).
10. The phone entered this weird-looking menu just like leos0 described. Using the VOL+ and VOL- buttons to navigate and POWER to choose, I selected the second option ("Install zip from sd").
11. In the next screen, I navigated down untill I reached the "update.zip" file that was previously extracted to the sdcard folder. Pressed POWER button to select it. Then I selected "Yes - install".
12. Some installation screens appeared. After that, something else appeared, and this was not described by leos0: it was kind of a confirmation screen, but since the menu looked weird and too zoomed in, I couldn't read it properly. Anyway, it was something related to "fixing the root", or something... I had 2 options: "NO" and "YES, FIX ROOT".
13. Fearing for my life, I chose "YES, FIX ROOT", and then it said the procedure was done. I went back in the menu, and chose to reboot the phone.
14. It didn't actually reboot, though. It just turned off. I turned it on again (still connected to the pc, but I'm pretty sure that's not necessary), installed the Root Checker app from the PlayStore and BAM! I was roooot!
My phone details:
Model: XT320

Thanks for everybody that kept this thread going for so long, and with so little hope. And thanks for leos0 for making my phone usefull again!
Okey, so, rooting
i was applying a few of them at one time to save my time xd ] )
0. Copy update.zip to /sdcard/
1. You need to boot into fastboot (NOT RECOVERY, F A S T B O O T ). You can use:
a)orCode:adb reboot-bootloader
b)turn off the phone, then hold POWER+VOL UP+VOL DOWN for 5-10 sec.
2. Now you need to use fastboot. use:
3.Now CWM TOUCH will boot. There is small problem, it doesn't look as it should, some options are somewhere else etc.Code:fastboot boot recovery.img
But it works! In normal CWM Recovery i was unable to choose any option, but there everything "works"
keys on your phone ( POWER to execute, vol. keys to move ), not screen to choose things ( it crashed once when i was using screen )
4. Install zip from sd..(second option)-->choose zip from sdc..)--> ...choose...--> Yes - Install --> Reboot --> back
For commands in [.code] marker you need to use cmd. I hope it will work for you guys
If you want to repost it somewhere, please, just write who invented it

It's possible that there's a subset of TNBST_4_0A.1F.XXXXX versions that are unrootable. The sample size for my assumption is far from sufficient and it's still possible that it's a statistical irregularity.As I have a TNBST_4_0A.1F.XXXXX software version, it seems not to be linked with root-possibility as suggested in post #420.
However all of this give hope for a root possibility !
Good job everyone ! :good: But still work to do !

I indeed made sure that USB debugging was enabled. If it wasn't that first adb command wouldn't even reboot the phone, would it?
For what it's worth, it would be incredible helpful if everybody who tries to root their phone will post exactly what software version their phone has and what button-combo takes the phone into FASTBOOT mode.

How to uninstall bloatware and so...
As I posted earlier today, I got root! Yay! So I install Titanium Backup, etc., etc.... Problem is: I don't seem to be able to uninstall anything, which was exactly why I wanted to root my TX320 in the first place...
In Titanium Backup, as well as in App2SD, when I try to uninstall an app, it says "Failed to locate the apk file"
Any ideas of what's going on and how to solve it?
Thanks!

I guess manually locating the apks through a file manager which now should be able to search everything could help.
Mano me ajuda ai nao to conseguindo root de forma nhma,sou membro la da GSMFans vc tbm é?
Nobody replied to my idea of flashing the non-rotable versions of the firmware with a rootable version.
I have located some firmwares here
http://www.droidevelopers.com/f412/...-xt320-xt321-gingerbread-firmware-update.html
TNBST_4_0A.1F.0ERPS_flex_WE_Orange_Spain could be a good candidate, but before trying this:
- Does anybody know, if this firmware has a simlock which would be very bad?
- Does anybody know what language files it contains? At least English would be required and German would be perfect.
- Is there anyway to backup the existing firmware before going through with it?

This means that flashing the defy mini just with a rootable version wont work? Sure?
You need to try, i don't know how it works. But i think it won't work. but remember, I could be wrong

Thanks, guys. One more thing before I do that: by manually deleting the .apk file, am I really erasing everything there is about that app? I'm a bit concerned about erasing the .apk file but keeping lots of info in other files, just like what happens if you just delete a .exe file on your pc, without removing everything properly.
Is there such problem in Android?
Oh, of course, before deleting the .apk file, I'm going to "clear data" related to it...
Thanks again!
Hello guys. I'm now creating a solution how to access the fastboot on dual sim version. But it will take longer time. I was downloading all DS sbf to try it out if it fastbootmode works.

Hello
I have the bootloader menu with Vol down + cam + power.
Is a screen with:
MBM Flash-mode,
TinBoost
Version: 01.0a
Bootloader USB Init SECURE BOOT ENABLED
I write "fastboot boot recovery.img" but only says "waiting for device".
Can I try to install the update.zip by the recovery mode option or is not a good idea?

21Okey, so, rooting You have to download this : ( it contains fastboot adb recovery.img and update.zip [ I think it is the right one, becourse

If you want to repost it somewhere, please, just write who invented it You should also thanks coder011 becourse he extracted the recovery.img from defy mini which was very helpful
Enjoy6It works perfectly!!!

Yes i replaced.
Don't know. You have to test.

ROM:
http://www.droidevelopers.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1283
(you have to register before you can download, ZIP Password is "mod2xtreme.com" but be aware, that the Site is often down)
Flashing Guide:
And you have to download RSD Lite:
http://www.chip.de/downloads/RSD-Lite_49139659.html
Defy Drivers:
http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=2cff07f8ef573210VgnVCM1000008806b00aRCRD
- Install Drivers and RSD-Lite.
- Start RSD Lite and load SBF File.
- Then shut down the Phone and Boot up by holding Camera + Volume- and Power Button.
- If you done right, you see an black screen with white Text, telling you the Device is in flashing mode.
- Connect Phone to PC and let Drivers install (after that RSD Lite shows an "Connected" Message in App.
- Click on "Start" in RSD-Lite
- Flash begins and you see a lot of Message Lines for everey Flash Step.
- At the End of the Process Phone reboots.
- Now you cann deconnect and close RSD Lite, ignoring the Message that it is still in Progress.
- BUT NOT BEFORE THE PHONE REBOOTS!!
- Sometime there is an Error and the Flash fails at first try.
- You have then to pull the Accu and to repeat flash Procedure.
Warning!!!
You can brick your Phone!!
In some cases (see Posts in this Thread) the Phone loses IMEI and Connection to SIM and is broken!!
If you do this, you do it at your own risk!
Additional Hint.......
If you can't find an ROM of your native carrier which is rootable, search for a ROM of an Carrier from your Continent which supports eventually your Language and Carrier.
E.g. i found Brazil ROM which is rootable but have no German Input and Language. So i testet some European ROM's and found one from Spain which is rootable and have native German Support and APN in it.
So now i don't need to test further because all works great and have German Phone UI.4My republic wireless XT root method will not work on your device, no point in trying.
With that said, I am willing to look at the device.
