How To Root HTC Explorer – Tutorial


So, that’s an great news for the HTC Explorer users. Now, they can enjoy Custom ROMS, Root only applications, and Root Browsing. Finally a rooting procedure is available for the HTC Explorer. In this article we will be covering how one can Root his HTC Explorer device easily.








Note: Please, note that after Rooting your HTC Explorer, the warranty of the device will be voided and you would have to re-install the Stock-Rom of the device in order to get the warranty back, so take a backup of your current ROM and then proceed further.
Caution: The steps which are included in this guide are very risky and can even brick off your mobile phone. Unless you are aware with Custom ROMS, Firmwares and ODIN, don’t even try these things on your mobile phone.

Pre-Requisites To Root Your HTC Explorer

  • The instructions are working for HTC Explorer, Originally manufactured.
  • Backup all of your SMS Messages using SMS Backup Application.
  • Sync all of your Contacts with the Gmail Application.
  • Copy all of your notes manually to somewhere else, as if in case your mobile phone gets bricked these notes will be deleted from the mobile phone.
  • Take a backup of call logs, APN Settings, and other important things.
  • Charge your mobile phone so that it would be having more than 80% battery.
  • Disable all antivirus and firewall related tools installed in your computer as then can prevent the rooting process to be done successfully.
  • Enable USB Debugging Mode in your mobile phone (Settings > Applications >Development > USB Debugging).
  • Install all device drivers on your computer from the HTC Website.

Procedure To Root HTC Explorer

Note: We have written each and every step clearly in order to make the update applied successfully but if any wrong step is taken then Neither me nor thedroidnation.com will be held responsible in case your device gets bricked.
  •  Make sure that the boot loader of your HTC Explorer is unlocked.
  • Add recovery to your mobile phone, so that it would be able to install all the Custom ROM’s. Download “A310E Recovery” from the link.
  • Now, Connect your mobile phone to your computer using the original USB cable and extract the zip file which we had downloaded in the Step 1.
  • Now, Shoot the recovery (.bat) file which would be there in the extracted folder.
  • Now, download the “Superuser Package“ in your computer and transfer the file to the Root of your SD Card.
  • Enable USB Debugging Mode in your mobile phone (Settings > Applications >Development > USB Debugging).
  • Now, Turn off your mobile phone and start it in the Recovery Mode (Volume UP Key + OK button holding both of these press the power button).
  • When, your mobile phone is booted in the Recovery Mode, You need to select “install zip from sd card” and then “choose zip from SD Card” and then choose the superuser package file which you had transferred earlier in your mobile phone. It will take some time to install that file in your mobile phone. Now, select “+++++Go Back++++” then “reboot system now“.
Congratulations!! You’ve successfully Rooted your HTC Explorer.

How to move the applications to sd card in unrooted android devices,it supports 2.0,2.2,2.3

How to move the applications to sd card in unrooted android devices,it supports 2.0,2.2,2.3


This requires Froyo 2.2 or above
It doesn't void your warranty
It doesn't delete existing apps
It's perfectly safe
It doesn't require rooting.


I realise there are a few threads about this, but I thought I would make a new one for to make easier than any other guide, and hopefully people will find it more easily as they won't have to scroll through pages of other threads to find an answer.
I am now successfully running most apps from my SD Card now. So here is my guide - hope it helps


Download the SDK from here- Android SDK | Android Developers
downloaded exe file should be installed.






Note:
basically installed files only in "C:\Program Files "here you find the android folder.
Copy that Android folder to the desktop.
Open the folder on the desktop and open the file, SDK Manager.exe (as no such file as setup.exe exists in the new version of the SDk)
Close the command or windows command prompt window that opens else automatically closes.
Untick all options you are promted to download except ones like the manuals, and Essentially, ensure the USB driver option is selected or ticked.
Let these files download
Ensure on your phone, USB Debugging is on - Go to Settings/Applications/Development/USB Debugging and ensure its ticked or on.
Download and install HTC Sync from HTC's website for your device.
Connect your phone by USB and select the HTC sync option when it pops up with charge only, disk mode etc.
Allow the sync to complete.
Open windows command promt. Start / Run

Type in (without quotations) "cmd"
The following should appear. (note its "users" in windows 7, )


15. Type in the following after the ">" at each step (without quotations,and including spaces and capital letters)


"cd desktop\android\android-sdk\platform-tools" (might be "cd desktop\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" in windows 7)
"adb devices"
"adb shell"
A $ sign should pop up
"pm setInstallLocation 2"
Another $ should pop up
should show like this



And your done. Close everything, disconnect phone, turn off phone and then turn it back on again.


16. Now the phone will be set to install all apps you install onto the SD card. However, current apps on phone will mostly still be stored on the internal memory. This process doesn't move these apps for you, it adds the ability. So you must now manually move those already installed on the phone.


To do this, go to settings / applications / manage applications
Then you just click on an app, and the move to SD card box should no longer be Grey. So you must now move all the apps you want onto the SD Card.
