[GSM + CDMA] BeatsleigherRootHelper/Gainer| Gain root acces the easy way, with this!!

---

Welcome to the original thread, of Beatsleigher's Root Helper!!

This program is completely free, with no Xtra options for donators...

What this program will do:

Well this program is designed for beginners, and advanced users. It has several modes; If you like to do everything yourself, then Ok, you can. If however you want Windows to do everything, it will.

If you need to setup ADB drivers, then follow the steps, in the ADB -> Help menu!!

List of features:

Several Reboot options,
Backup/Restore
Unlock bootloader (fastboot)
Relock bootloader (fastboot)
Root (ADB+fastboot)
Flash recovery (fastboot)
All-in-one solutions
Complete make over, now using a GUI!
Very explicit detailing of what the program is currently doing!
Install drivers - (USB + ADB/fastboot drivers)
List of ROMs/kernels
Help menus

What's to expect:

In-program E-Mail subscription, to get notified about updates.
Better IE Engine for XDA Link.
Context menus, for faster checking of radiobuttons.
Maybe adding an advert or two. Because I am now slowly but surely needing more money, for phones, so that I can program programs like this, for them.
Maybe re-add the main menu music. But, with music, that is a bit more calming... And not House ^^
A fully functional fastboot menu.
A user experience program, so I can collect feedback!!
Working progressbars.... (-.-")

FAQ:

Q:When installing the drivers, why do I need to change my system configuration?
A:You need to configure your machine, to notice the device, but to leave it alone, instead of looking for, and downloading drivers for it. This just confuses the computer, meaning you can't do anything in the bootloader, because Windows Update doesn't yet have the needed drivers...

Q: Why have you gone over to making a GUI? The batch files, were just fine...
A: I'm going over to making a GUI, because it is easier to use, less work. And I have the option, to just, drag & drop a button, write two lines of code, to make the button functional and then it's just a matter of creating the batch file, converting it to an EXE. Easy as pie. Whereas, with the batch files, to create one more option, you have to write 6 lines of code, then the batch file, and then half of the stuff doesn't work properly, because you didn't debug... If you know, what I mean...

Q: Why are there so many files???
A: This program needs so many files, so it can perform different processes/options/tasks
. But it isn't hard, to find out, what file, does which job

Q: Why is there only a version for windows??
A: I am working on a version, for Mac users, but it will take some time. I'm glad to be nearly finished, with the Windows version

Q: I want to donate to you, but you won't allow it. Why?
A: I don't accept any donations, because I only wrote the program to flash files on to your phone... I don't want to take credit for things, that other people did.
Instead of trying to donate to me, donate to chainfire, ChainsDD, and Kousik Dutta; for creating such brilliant recoverys, Apps (like superuser and ROM Manager) and ROMs...
BTW: If you really want to donate (which you won't ), you can send me some albums ^^ I need house music, to work.. And all my songs/albums have been listened dead -.-

Q: Do you mind if I use this program for commercial use, and post videos(tutorials) on Youtube?
A: As long as you DO NOT create mirrors, and let me know, I'm not that fussed... But then please post the link of the video to me, so that I can tell you if I like the way you did it, or not.

Q: When are you gonna stop talking about things, that don't interrest anyone (the FAQ)??
A: Now, but still thx for reading, other good questions will be posted here, aswell...

Thanks:

Many thanks to Kouschik Dutta for creating the recoveries for near-to all Android phones. Yo the man!
And not to forget the awsome app: ROM Manager ^^

Thanks to my good friend Accendare (baddinski), for creating the splashscreen. I appreciate it much

Thanks to Google, for creating the AOSP, for the great developers, to create even greater ROMs, for us!
Also, thanks to Google, for buying Android, and making suh a (rather) bug-free OS!!

If I forgot anyone, please let me know immediatly!!

Downloads:

If you want to flash stock firmware, you will need to install this. This contains all the neccessary files/folders you need:
GSM: to be downloaded, by clicking this...
CDMA: to be downloaded here...


Ok, we've done it!! (I've done it...) We've gone out of Alpha.
We beat the beta!

Now, I'm proud to present; Beatsleigher's Root Helper... VERSION 3.0.0.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Each and every script, has been either re-written, or has just gotten a makeover!!
Everything unneeded, has been removed, It's more compatible, with Windows XP, loading time has gone down!!
I've added a few options, but not that many, to make a big changelog...

To upgrade/update, please, copy ALL the files, you created/copied/moved there, to a safe place, on your hard drive. Then, delete "C:\Beatsleigher_root_helper"

Run the installer (It's contained in an ISO image, so, download PowerISO, should you not ahave an image mounting system...) and done!!
Download here

Screenshots:

If you want to see more, download it

Installer:

The installer will install to your C:\ drive. Some older scripts, are still working with "%homedrive%" so, to make sure, that everything is working, please make sure, that your homedrive is your C:\ drive. Or, if you have a seperate C:\ drive (like me), copy a copy, of the "Beatsleigher_root_helper" folder, to your homedrive. Then it should do the trick. By the tiome, the program is released properly (full) all scripts should be working with "C:\".
Should you have NOT got a C:\ drive, because your homedrive is named differently/you deleted the C:\ partition, see: installation help.
EDIT: The installer has been split in two!! They are both in an ISO image... Once mounted, the secondary installer will run (setup.exe). Just open the virtuall CD-ROM, and run "Install.exe"

Installation help:

Not much can go wrong, when install9ing this program.
Mostly, the reasons, of failure, to use this program, are due to:
Not having a C:\ drive.
Not copying a copy of the root folder, to hamedrive, if C:\ is not the homedrive, of your windows machine.

Tutorial 1:
Problem: I installed the program, but my homedrive is not C:\. I installed to C:\, but I can't use half of the program.

Well, first of all; sorry, for this. I could of said this earlier... I forgot to edit the scripts, to use ONLY the C:\ drive, so it useshalf the C:\ drive, and half your homedrive. But, that's why I posted this tutorial.

It's quick & easy ^^

Tutorial:

Install the program, to your C:\ drive. Close the installer, and re-open it.
Once back in the installer, set the installation path to your homedrive (Where Windows is installed).
Install to that directory, and done

It should now work ^_^

Tutorial 2:
Problem, I don't have a C:\ drive, and the ROM-Full/Less version, isn't available for download... What to do??

This is also no problem!! With a few, simple clicks of your mouse, we will fix this minor problem

Tutorial:

Type following key-combination, on your keyboard; START(WIN)+R.
The "Run" prompt should now pop up.
In the RUN prompt, type: "diskmgmt.msc" and it enter.
Once the disk manager pops up, shrink your homedrive(or, if you have unalocated disk space, which is 3GB or more, right click on that)
Shrink your homedrive, about 3GB. If you can, allocate more space, because you will need quite some space, because of stock ROMs/custom ROMs/kernels and backups.

To shrink, right-click on the partition and select "Shrink Volume". Enter this amount, to shrink: 3072 MB, that should be 3GB. Like I said, feel free to allocate more space.
Now you should see a black field. This is unallocated disk space. Right click on this space and select" Create simple partition" Make sure, you create the exact space, you shrunk, other wise, you will have some unallocated space, on your HDD and this can cause problems, if unnoticed.
Name the partition : C:. Wait, for the Diskman. to create the partition (can take up to 5 Minutes, for that amount of space, depending on size of HDD, CPU clock speed and amount of RAM).
Now, just install Beatsleigher's Root Helper to your C:\ drive and again, to your homedrive. Done! You can now use Beatsleigher's Root Helper.

If you should notice any other problems, please let me know, so I can solve them.

EULA:

Please read the EULA, should you not have, during installation. Or, you are interested in installing the prgram.
There is vital information, in this text document!

This post will be used for announcing updates and changelogs!

---

The first update, to be announced here, will contain some CDMA kernels and ROMs... They will all get QR-Codes, so you can download them directly on to your Android, if neccesary!

Only use this package to root your phone and flash recovery!!

The other images/ZIPs are on their way!! Before I get told off, for not telling you this.... I am making a package, that will delete all GSM files!
This reduces size, and no one gets confused!!

Cool. 400mb is the reason I wouldn't download it. Opinions:

Remove the extra crap. Include just your code.

Create a folder /flash and instruct people to just throw stuff in there. Then code your app to read and list the contents of that folder (If that's even possible).

Your program can't be more then a meg or two itself. This way people can just download your tool and flash whatever. It then won't ever be "outdated" with old files. Streamline it and it'll catch on.
