Salute you sir! :) you are doing a great job. when i read i read this thread and saw the date like 2010 i thought Its over but you my man made my day :) thankyou so much.

I will come back if i have any problem or any question.:) All Hail to Mr. Scooty :)
 
Hey Scooty! i have some questions about merge. CM11 is available for lexikon. Is Cyanogenmod is good for HTC merge?

and i think my Htc merge is still not rooted completely cause superuser app is not working perfectly.

Thanks man :)
 
Hello people I am a noob in this of HTC root, I need help rooting this, I followed all the steps, but I'm not root, after I followed all the steps I tried to install the merge tool kit but it won't install

I need help, I've been trying approx one year

i personally always prefered cyanogenmod over stock older sense versions,its really just a matter of wether or not you can deal with the things listed as "not working".

to make superuser work better on your current rom,you can always delete the app and binary(app will live in system/app and binary in system/bin or system/xbin) and use this one:
[2013.12.17] SuperSU v1.86 - xda-developers

the download you need is about halfway in the first post and labled: CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP

you will flash it in recovery

have you achieved s off?

if so,you can try the supersu app i mentioned above,in place of the merge tool kit. make sure you are leaving it zipped,and flashing it in recovery
 
Should i have to rename yhe .zip file to "PD42IMG" then Flash it via Recovery or just like that?

and How can i flash CM11 into merge? i tried but failed. i renamed the CM11's zip file to " PD42IMG" and Flashed it Via Fastboot but nothing happened.

be achieved if and root, but now I have another problem, by mistake I put a command in the terminal emulator and cause a hard brick, called qualcomm mode ........ there will be some solution???

(does absolutely nothing, only when I connect it to pc calls me the driver qualcomm)
 
And when i go to recovery my cell freezez. i have to put the battery out then in to turn on the cell.

PS. my cell is verizon but i im using USC Ginger bread Rom.

use the command that is used to push cwm samsung almost all, I thought I could run, but in the end said failed. cwm5 to merge then download in zip format. so renowned for upload by hboot. when I turn off the phone and I try turning it does nothing.

excuse the language, I'm using google translator, my native language is Spanish. so will be able to understand what that translates comic.

Can you copy the exact command you entered here so I can see?

If you pull the battery for a few seconds,are you able to enter hboot by holding power/vol down?

I already did. and did nothing. the command was:

the phone will not turn on. I will buy another merge, but no match for verizon. there only for uscelular. my doubt is the process the same?. just use another rom (uscelular.custom)?
 
Hello everyone. I am hoping that someone can help me here. I have been reading this thread over and over again all day and trying over and over to get this phone switched to my at&t sim card. It is a verizon HTC merge and it is driving me crazy. I have copied my code and this is where I am at. Please someone tell me what I am doing wrong.

raxznazar use the htc site to unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery and superuser. After that go to step 6 of the tuturial. I ended up getting it working last night but it took till 4AM. one thing to remember is that if you have root access and you type adb shell and get the $ sign then you are not actually using root access. so you type su from the $ prompt and it changes to # showing that you now have root access. you would then have to type exit then hit enter when you are done and it will go to $ then type exit again to get out of the shell. Hope this helps. I should have done a video but I would have sounded like crap and woke everyone in the house up. I am now on at&t network with everything working. My phone is a verizon model.
 
Hey scotty thank you very much for the instructions. They helped me out a bunch. It was my first time flashing and only my second time rooting an android device. The first time all I had to do was download and run superoneclick so this was much more involved.
 
:confused:

Thank you but HTC site? how? i m already S-off and to install custom recovery i have to go to the main recovery. but my main recovery is crushed or sumthing i donno but im getting that sign(pic posted) everytime.
 
did you try to unplug the usb cord and restart? I am very new to this to. I got that sign one time and it scared the crap out of me. I think that I unplugged the cable and restarted. also try to hold the vol down and power button and see if you can restart. after you got the s-off what ruu did you try to load?
 
Hey scotty thank you very much for the instructions. They helped me out a bunch. It was my first time flashing and only my second time rooting an android device. The first time all I had to do was download and run superoneclick so this was much more involved.

Glad they were helpful. Are you still having the prollems above,or are you sorted?
 
I already did. and did nothing. the command was:

-su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

well,you have written a recovery to something impiortant,wich has put the processor into a "do not boot" mode. it prolly is fixable via jtag,you might contact josh at MobileTechVideos.COM

im not sure what you overwrote,unfortunately,but recovery for s2 processors in phones like the merge,desire hd,etc. is p21,not p13

unfortunately,this is a very good example of why you should be sure what youre doing and why,and not just blindly try things when s off.

s off offers no security checks or write protections,and will let you brick your drevice :(
