How To Root The Cricket Kyocera Sanyo Zio!

[TheZahir2009]

Dial* 228 reprogram it that should fix the issue

[jptrustno1]

I'm still trying to find out how/where to get that live wallpaper (2min15sec). If anyone can help me out id appreciate it very much. Thanks everyone and/or whoever.

[malikharden5124]

Does it still work?

[wwjoshdew]

@malikharden5124 unless the zio has had an update, it should still work.

[TheConceptDude]

Idk if I should do this... Don't wanna break it! Question... Will this delete anything on my phone?

[wwjoshdew]

@TheConceptDude NO! This is a ONE CLICK ROOT thing. you can't mess up WHILE rooting your phone. it won't delete ANYTHING! ONCE you have root, THEN you can delete things. Even VERY important things that your phone HAS TO HAVE in order to work. that's why you VOID your warranty when you root! Inexperienced people can REALLY brick their phone and then when you try to get it replaced or fixed, they inform you that you voided your warranty by modifying it.

[TheConceptDude]

@wwjoshdew ok well my zio was rooted and i installed a rom... it wouldnt let me boot but then i took out the battery and held volume up home and power. it booted BUT it wouldnt let me use 3-g or call. it will let me text. now i need to call and stuff. so i tried factory resetting it and of course that rom still remains. however i really need to delete the rom and install my stock rom. PLEASE TELL ME HOW!!! PLEASE BRO I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!! i already unrooted the phone. that didnt help

[stef234237]

[wwjoshdew]

@TheZahir2009 they have better Cricket phones, that have gingerbread. but i understand it costs money, and not everyone has that. including me. lol

[misterluckyS7even]

got it rooted with Z4..now, where can i find the custom ROMs to put on it?

[wwjoshdew]

@misterluckyS7even you're device would have to have someone that was smart enough to develop for it. But I don't know of any. sorry!

[TheZahir2009]

Can this zio run gb?

[wickedsoundent]

Worked perfect!

[TheZahir2009]

[TheZahir2009]

Josh I'm new to this but I got da root thanks a lot however how can i get this shitty zio for gingerbread? Lol

[EpikEthan]

Dude, thank you so much! I've been trying to figure out how to root this damn thing forever!

[theeLt210]

sooooo after i root my phone, what do i do next?

[wwjoshdew]

@theeLt210 remove stock apps, stuff that requires root. Like wifi tether

[theeLt210]

@wwjoshdew alright, im new to this so all i want to do is make it a whole lot faster

[ScenicMirages]

Root did not work.... Attempted it three times and to no success.

[wwjoshdew]

@ScenicMirages sorry bud! did you go to menu, settings, development, usb debugging and check that little box BEFORE trying this? USB Debugging has to be enabled. other people that have commented before you reported that theirs didn't work UNTIL they did that, then it did. good luck!

[ScenicMirages]

@wwjoshdew Yes, I have my phone on with USB Debugging enabled, and my phone is still running Android 2.2 even with the software installed. I try to re-root, and it says my device is already rooted.

[wwjoshdew]

@ScenicMirages do you have the superuser app? Download titanium backup and see if it asks for root!

[gensu101]

Nevermind XD

[gensu101]

Alrite y is ur fone different from mine o,o

[sureimwrong]

[sureimwrong]

how long does the rooting process take my phone seems to be stuck at the z4 blue screen 30 plus minutes later

[wwjoshdew]

@sureimwrong reboot your phone, turn ON usb debugging, and rerun it! :-D

[courtney4110]

HOW DO I SYNC MY FACEBOOK CONTACTS TO MY PHONE

[wwjoshdew]

@courtney4110 go to the facebook app, then go to settings, then go ALL the way down to "Sync Contacts". :-)

[karamelkizz]

Got it!! Thank you ;)

[wwjoshdew]

@karamelkizz you're VERY welcome!

[forestgriffin95]

do you have a video on how to get Swype For this phone please reply! :D

[wwjoshdew]

@forestgriffin95 no i don't... i think it comes with it. if not, go to the swype website and apply for it!

[karamelkizz]

Thank you, it worked like you said it would..but I cannot uninstall pre~installed apps, can you tell me how to do it?

[wwjoshdew]

@karamelkizz you need to use Titanium Backup. it's free and in the Market.

[IamChaseMarsh]

Thanks bro, worked like a charm!

[wwjoshdew]

@IamChaseMarsh awesome!

[mtb19981123]

I know it works but everytime I try to download it doesn't do it

[wwjoshdew]

@mtb19981123 then mount your phone to your computer (or take the micro sdcard out and put it in the full size adapter) and transfer the apk that way. then using something like Easy Installer from the market to install it.

[HeyWOr1d]

Will this work with sprint zio

[wwjoshdew]

@HeyWOr1d YES! Same concept! just install the app and bam, you're rooted!

[MrFattyevan]

any 1 know how to factory reset the phone because my friend just sold me his phone but he can remember his gmail any 1 can help me

[wwjoshdew]

@MrFattyevan yeah, menu, settings, and i think it's under privacy or security!

[morganboy0ify]

Yeah. Umm curious. At the top it also says hotspot activated. (Sprint one) so I click on it but its not checked. Like both icons(wifitether) and sprint hotspot is in the bar. This aaint gonna charge me or sum shit right ? Lol it always pops up?

[wwjoshdew]

@morganboy0ify NOPE! If you had an Epic, you would be used to seeing that! it happens on the evo as well. it does not charge you extra. it just uses the native hotspot so that you have a TRUE hotspot instead of just an ADHOC connection...

[morganboy0ify]

Well i set it to epic but it wouldnt obtain the ip address and than download the one in the market and it installed bib files ?! And then i tried but didnt work. So i turned ma phone off and back on and it worked. (The beta 2.) Love itt !

[wwjoshdew]

@morganboy0ify awesome!

[morganboy0ify]

OMG . THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!! IT WORKED ! YOUR THE BEST EVERRRRRRR ! (: THIS HAS MADE MY DAY ! MY FRIDAY DAY lol. Thanks for EVERYTHING. *excited right now* !!!!!!!! :D

[wwjoshdew]

@morganboy0ify curious... what worked? setting it to epic 4g? or using a different version?

[CntThinkOfAGoodName]

No problem josh anytime I have to go josh catch u on the next vid. Lmao bye :)

[CntThinkOfAGoodName]

Ohkay I didn't want to bother, and okayy thanks :)

Keep up the good werk!!!

[wwjoshdew]

@CntThinkOfAGoodName you're not bothering me! AND thank you!

[CntThinkOfAGoodName]

Josh 1 last thing I know your prabally busy but are u gona make same more transform vids. Srry for like always commenting on your vids. Lmao!

[wwjoshdew]

@CntThinkOfAGoodName no dude, I love comments! you have no idea! I get excited and appreciate every last comment! No, I am really going to do at least one more! People want EF09 and root... so I think I am gonna do the puma v6 kernel.

[morganboy0ify]

Aha josh dude your awesome. Oh yeah ! PLEASE can you tell me wat wifi tether works with that intercept root on tha transform. I can't find anything! It finds the hotspot but won't connect dammit ?.!

[wwjoshdew]

@morganboy0ify you can try the latest one. It worked fine on my transform. 3.1 beta 2.... if you STILL can't get it to work, try the epic 4g preset. if that STILL doesn't work, uninstall 3.0 and download the one from the market... but 3.1 beta 2 should work fine.

[morganboy0ify]

Lol never say never ! Aha.

[wwjoshdew]

@morganboy0ify hahahahahaha. I lied.... shame on me

[CntThinkOfAGoodName]

I noticed it because u went by it so fast and I'm lyk wait a Wtf y did he skip that sooo fast so I played,paused,played and paused the vid. In tht part and I was like ohhh!! Lmao
