Seem a new Box should be created here for this device - HTC EXPLORER A310E

jaggyjags · Dec 11, 2011

IMPORTANT NOTE: wifi error and solution!!

Be aware WIfi conexion won´t work with that method after rooting (at least 4 known cases and me).

I had to install .zip custom ROM for it to work, here it is: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3RC9EE9Z

it's the only one until now for HTC explorer so has some limitations: only english and chinese languaje, has a few preinstalled apps in chinese, and no android market, install it yourself and don't forget to do a complete reboot of phone (untick fast reboot option) to prevent market from crashing when trying to download any app.

Note that you are free to modify preinstaled apps adding and deleting files inside the .zip (system/app/) and will be installed in the "rom memory" not internal one

be carefull not to delete important system apps but there are many widgets and stuff not needed

and yes, we need a BOX for HTC explorer!!

some info

hi, im italian user, i was watching the post to understand how to root my explorer, but i'm not so good with english and this is very complicated for me, some words are different and i don understand so i dont want to be wrong, something like need box htc, i'm not sure, and in italy is revealed that with this method they banned your phone from warranty, can someone help me or is there another way to root this phone? im in your hand, all italy is seeking for this root...here is the best and the only way to do...

thanks a lot

ivan

SLiviuD · Dec 13, 2011

@ivanmemento 'needs a new box' probably means a new subforum needs to be created for htc explorer. im not sure tho.
i dont thik there is a way you could root without voiding your warranty.thats one of the usual disadvantages of rooting.

ivanmemento · Dec 13, 2011

re info

thanks to the explanation, i know about the warranty all my phones are h.ak..ed and rom substitution, and i know about something that can happens if there is a problem but in these chase i mean that if you give them the serial, is different because they can find your phone in their database/black list, and so this is the fact, in other chase like gingerbreak for example, they have nothing in hand to find that you have done something on the phone, it's like if they don't know and if you sent in warranty almost like the factory setting you have more probability to solve evantually problems, but it's ok, my real problem is that i don't want to made errors for the process of rooting, because im not so good both in english and both in codes

thanks for your response...

hope to find a solution my phone is also brandized so have many software inside that do itself upgrade upload and other stuff that is expensive...

thanks to all

Can anyone plzzzz help me regarding how to unroot my htc explorer and put back the original stock recovery??? plzz tell me the procedure and also a link to the files required. It would be a great help. plzz.....

ONeill123 · Dec 20, 2011

Maybe u download an official RUU, start it and look in temo filder of pc for a file "rom.zip" Unpack this zip and u find a recovery.img
Then go into fastboot and run following command with the commandline and fasboot.exe:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The recovery.img must be in the same folder as the fastboot.exe

Suyash Srivastava · Dec 20, 2011

Hi, I found this:

filefactory.com/f/72ab89aee0b699ab/

There are 5 RUU there for htc pico. I extracted the rom.zip file from the europe version and then I tried to install it by recovery. I couldn't install it because the zip was bad. Did I miss something here? Did I do something wrong?

I really want to install the europe version.

Suyash Srivastava · Dec 24, 2011

After unrooting my explorer and flashing it with stock recovery I got one more ota in india but when I downloaded it and started installing.....it entered the recovery mode and after 1/4 of the installation it stopped and displayed a phone with a red triangle and an exclamation mark in it.....and when I manually entered recovery it displayed this message "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" and when i clicked update from zip it said " Invalid operation " and started rebooting!
So can any one plzzz give me a solution to this....plzzz its urgent...

I can confirm this process works for the HTC Explorer (A310b). Once I rooted the device I notice the network SIM lock was gone!

I was unable to find a custom ROM for this phone.

Lol, thats very terrible. For the big brother wfs it give custom roms but no s-off or bootloader unlock yet.
Maybe u must wait a time that the devs from cyanogenmod like built a rom.

The recovery in this tutorial seems to be clockworkmod unlike mine whwre it has a chinese version of it... so if u guys install rom manager, with clockwork mod, why dont u try flashing a rom and let me know what happens... i tried and t requested i hav clockwork mod

ONeill123 · Dec 30, 2011

I have on question to a guy who tried it.
After the unlock, you have still s-on and at the top in hboot an UBLOCKED string, or u have s-off alone, or s-off and the unlocked string?
