Root Root my dna

[des343]

I got my DNA a little less than a month ago I've had multiple droids my last one was galaxy nexus which I kind of miss in some ways however I chose this over the Note 2 it was a third of the price and I am not exactly into HUGE screens though I prefer a good sliding phone like the droid 4 they just don't seem to want to make them anymore so here I am.

I am on 2.06 rooted via moonshine was not overly difficult. I'm a fairly simple person however I wanted togget rid of bloatware and have access to my CPU and GPU. Now the biggest thing that is bothering me is how blah sense is to my nexus just the colors alone are so bland

I downloaded Rom toolbox even got the pro version for the simple fact I could change the toolbar icons and colors then I find out I have to have DeoDexed Rom. I'm not really wanting to go through the process of flashing as it seems like a lot of work and I'm lazy as well as I can't find a straight forward lemens guide as to how to do it or which Rom would be best from my understanding all the roms seems to have a little glitch here and there be it BT or camera issues I do not want to deal with ANY issues.

So basically is there any way to change my toolbar without using a custom Rom or going through the drawn out process of deodexing my currect Rom does anyone support the alteration of this in a basic stock Rom?

Thanks for any help in advance I have had custom roms on my droid 3, droidX and X2 but it seems so much work on the DNA than those devices and I'm not sure it is even something I want to deal with I'm just looking for simple customization of my toolbar icons :/

Okay I just flashed to NOS pretty cool and all but I still cannot figure out how to change my icons and colors and what not of my notification bar wth? Someone has to know something!!! Please some assistance Rom toolbox says it updates but nothing changes

 

[des343]

Ugh!! Nevermind apparently this fricken rom isn't deodexed either!! Wth so irritating...and apparently this forum is dead and the only people on here are people that don't or can't help...kind of a waste of time in every way.

Help plz

 

[scotty85]

What help do you need, exactly? You basically just need to run moonshine, then install a recovery

 

[ohyaknow76]

I can't figure out how to unlock my DNA. Anyone have the solution?

 

[ohyaknow76]

I am running 2.07 and I can't find the fix. I have asked everyone. DroidmodderX doesn't know how either. There has to be a way.

 

[ohyaknow76]

The problem is I did the OTA. And now I can't unlock the bootloader. I'm very surprised that I can't find the fix

 

[ohyaknow76]

Were you on 2.06 before moonshine. Or 2.07. I am on 2.07 stock and I can't find a fix?

 

[ohyaknow76]

I am running stock 2.07. Will moonshine work or not? If I try will it brick the device if it fails. Hmmm

 

[scotty85]

This is why you should always take advantage of tools/exploits while you can. Never wait until after an update,as the exploits are very often patched. Looks like you are stuck for now.

If 2.06 and 2.07 use the same hboot,you can alter the main version and flash 2.06 firmware if a means of temp root exists. If this is possible,I'm sure a guide will pop up.

What i would do is hop on moonshines irc support channel,or check the xda thread and see if they are planning to add 2.07 support.

Looks like you'll just need to wait for moonshine support,a new tool,or a downgrade process

 

[scotty85]

Quick search thru the xda moonshine thread there is at least one report of moonshine working on 2.07. The only difference in the 2 builds is talkbqck support.

 

[ohyaknow76]

Thats what I saw as well. I'm going to give it a try. I will post the results in the next few days. Thanks for all your help.

 

[NightAngel79]

moving you over to the root section, hope you get it figured out!!

Merged your threads together so others are not confused by all your post, keep you question to this thread for proper help and support, cheers.

Why can you not?

 

[ohyaknow76]

Because I did the OTA the day I got the phone. I'm on 2.07 and can't run moonshine

 

[ohyaknow76]

I had an S3 root. But I broke the screen. I thought this would be a good phone to have Root with quad core and all. But now disappointed

 

[ohyaknow76]

Any new ideas

well,you can thank big red for having to find a hack and run a tool. htc allows their bootloaders to be unlocked and allow access to boot,system and recovery,except when carriers request that their branded devices not be.

Any new ideas

nope. you do not need any new ideas... moonshine will work with 2.07

if you ran the tool on windows and got stuck at:

waiting for fastboot:
................................................................
................................................................
................................................................
....................

and just kept getting more dots,then prollem is not your OTA,the prollem is windows.

ive done a couple of dnas for friends and never gotten the tool to work on windows. some have claimed turning off all antivirus/firewalls have allowed it to work,but your best chance for success is to create a bootable ubuntu cd or find a friend with a permant linux install and run the tool with that. it will run right thru on linux

windows is far from an optimal OS to work with "delicate" phone communications,especially if running win 8 and/or usb 3.0. it requires finicky device drivers and is espeically prone to other programs(like an antivirus) interfering with its comunications.

 

[ohyaknow76]

Okay I will try

 

[scotty85]

let us know how it goes.

 

[ohyaknow76]

I ran MS twice yesterday. I made it to the part where it says testroot. Then fails then says press enter to exit. Any ideas
