Tips for Hacking Android Devices
- Never flash, root, or hack your Android device unless it has more than 80% battery life.
- Ensure you have at least an hour to flash or hack your Android device and always have access to a computer.
- Always make a Nandroid backup before flashing anything to your Android, just in case.
- Research thoroughly. Read numerous forums and watch instructional videos before attempting any modifications. If you don’t understand something, you might make mistakes.
- Remember to express gratitude to those who help you, including developers and fellow enthusiasts.
- Every Android device is unique, with its own set of tricks and potential issues, so study up accordingly.
- Learn how to return the device to its stock condition before attempting any hacking—whether that involves SBF, AP fastboot, FX, Odin, or ADB file transfers.
- The Android community is a welcoming place; there are no stupid questions.
- Make sure you know all the device information in the settings before hacking, including the model number, Android version, build number, and more.
- The most common problem during rooting or using a utility is driver installation. Download and run the driver install files, then connect your device to your PC. Enable USB debugging in the device settings (usually under developer options). Additionally, ensure the Android device is set to all available USB modes, which can be adjusted in the notification bar. If issues persist, use a program like USBDeview for driver uninstallation and reinstallation. You can find it on the My Downloads page.
Hi rootjunky!
Can you please help me out sort issues with rooting my phone htc desire 601, already done htcdev boot unlock, but then something might have gone from from there, because until now i am not rooted, after installing recovery and all…, My phone boot status now is Tempered – Unlocked! With S-On.
Today I tried to use Firewater and Weaksauce to get things fixed, ADB connection and all working fine, but Weaksauce doest not work? Instead is displaying “Unfortunately Weaksauce has stopped”?
My device is HTC Desire 601, single Sim, HBoot 2.22, running android 4.4.2
Any idea or advice to get me out of this please…
regards,
victorkh
sorry i dont own that device. every device gets hacked a little differently and i dont want to speak to this device unless i have done my research on it first. you are going to have to check out xda developers site to try and find your answers
I have an old Samsung Galaxy 4G do i have to unlock it to use it on Google Voice? If I do do you know how to unlock it?
only real requirement to use this new setup with google voice is to be on android 4.3 and above. if you can get the device to that android version then you are good to go. you nay have to install a custom rom to get there
Aloha, I’m a newbie and I appreciate your work. My RAZR M 4.4.2 lost recovery options after rooting with towel root then successfully unlocking the boot loader with motopocalypse. I was able to rsd lite sbf 4.4.2, but recovery was still lost. Now I just acquired a RAZR HD with stock 4.1.2. Can I take advantage of being on stock 4.1.2 and use towel root then unlock the boot loader with motopocalypse? As I understand it, those who had taken updates lost their chance until some kind programmer released 4.4.2 without the exploit fix. Well, me now having stock 4.1.2 see this as a golden opportunity to root then unlock BL. I was going to attempt rsd lite 4.1.2 to.4.4.2 ..10 which I downloaded from sbf archives to avoid ota 4.4.2…15 which just was released with fixes for our favorite exploits when it occurred to me I’m on stock dandy 4.1.2 and can do whatever I want. Tom, is my brain seeing this correctly? BTW, can I rsd lite sbf flash from 4.1.2 all the way to my saved 4.4.2? This is a brand new RAZR HD and I don’t want to mess it up, I’m acquiring a small stockpile of droids. The learning curve helps pay some of the costs but geez. So root God, what should I do? Please and thank you, Tim. Please feel free to use my email as well.

Great job used you tools to bring my dying RAZR maxx back to life. Do you have any suggestions on getting more internal memory?
I have many phones like: LG V20, Samsung Galaxy On5, S3, Core Prime, HTC one M8 Windows, LG K7, and a iPhone 4, that are either in the Google FPR lock or on apple activation lock. Please let me know what I can do. I have these phones because my dad gets them all the time at his work and gives them to me to try to fix, but I can’t ever get them working properly. Please help.
