How to know if it got rooted ?

I am happy to present to you the guide to root your VirginMobile One V.

REQUIREMENTS

VM One V

Bootloader Unlocked (guide here)

Basic knowledge and good reading skills

So 2 VM One V users had problems rooting their phones and then it was proved that their software was different. So, I modified the kernel ramdisk to include the SuperSU files and other files to help root VM One V

I had to just add few lines of code and transfer a few file here and there.

INSTRUCTIONS:

UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER

Download the zip file and extract it to your Desktop or something.

Put your phone into fastboot mode(Vol Down + Power and then with volume buttons scroll to fastboot and press power button)

If on Windows open ---windows.bat file

If on Mac open ---mac.sh

And If on Linux open ---linux.sh

Let it do it's thing

Scroll down with Volume buttons and Reboot

Your phone will now be rooted.

If you have problems with WiFi just reboot and it will be fixed

Thanks for the info. I am new to android world. How do I know if the phone actually got unlocked ? Any quick way of knowing?

I think I followed the very simple instructions perfectly, but when I double click the install_superboot_windows.bat cmd prompt comes up, the phone immediately reboots, but there is no SU icon anywhere and it does not appear that SU is installed. Also, my wifi doesn't work and gets thrown into a wifi loop where it scans, briefly connects (maybe, and if so for like a millisecond) and then disconnects...over and over. I had previously rooted and unlocked another Virgin Mobile HTC One V flashed it to page plus, works like a charm and the wifi was working fine (I had setup wifi before I unlocked or rooted actually). When this happened with this phone with the wifi problem, I suspected it might with my other one as well so I disconnected wifi and reconnected and sure enough, same problem.

Also, the other phone I was able to install MSL reader and it worked fine, so it is somewhat rooted. I just don't understand the wifi problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, these are gifts for my kids and I'd like them to work if possible lol

Thanks.

** Disregard, I flashed back to stock rom and then unlocked, rooted, flashed PP again and it works fine now. Everything works fine. I'm stoked lol.

i had the same problem when doing the same procedure
so i first installed the cwm and then by using that i install super su from the option install zip from sd card and i got the super su icon
note:the cwm was touched so u hav to flip from top to bottom or bottom to top till it display back button enabled and then u can use the power button to select or else it will just display the symbol when u click the power button.

registering MEID on reliance

Can any body tell me how to get reliance network registered after unlocking the handset?

partha08 said:
Thanks dude for this post! Really helped me unlock my HTC ONE V (virgin CDMA) device through your method. I was successful in getting the MEID, MSN and the reliance number registered on this device. Well i am writing this cause now i have a strange problems, and i wish to share with you for your insight and help
1. The calls get cut within 2 Sec of dialing.
2. Even though i am able to send and receive SMS, the device still displays "virgin mobile" in the network operator field.
3. Under network type: it shows CDMA - 1xRTT. I guess this has to be 3G or at least 2G?

Kindly help me to get this fixed would appreciate any form of help.

Thanks
Partha

I got the fix. for guys who's calls get disconnected in sec's pls note its due to the AKey (authentication key). I used a tool called CDMA WORKSHOP (google to see how it works) and re- wrote this number to the default. Now my device perfect.

Hey, this sounds good.

I got the Virgin HTC One V here in US and successfully flashed it to Page Plus (a Verizon MVNO). Very soon I would be coming to India and wish to use this phone with Reliance. Can you please share the steps on how to get this done?
