Thank you Drew. Will this utility also unroot if needed?

Yep. It will NOT however flash stock recovery or uninstall any root apps you have installed. It's not meant to be device-specific.

Is there a way to load the app to my sd card so that i can run it when i need it? If so, How do I do it?

Please read the first post (and look at the screenshots). Sons of Korhal is NOT an Android app. It requires Windows though I am working on Linux and Mac versions.

Thanks Drew for your quick response. How does your root differ from the other method that sfhub is using?

It's ~~pretty~~ sexy, has a GUI and makes StarCraft fans feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Try it and see for yourself.

I'm already rooted. Will this add any benefit to me?

If you're already rooted, you don't need to have a root utility. Its mainly for people who don't want to mess with command lines and batch files.

I'm about to root for the first time with your plan! Hopefully all goes well

Make sure you have the appropriate drivers and the .NET Framework version 4.

**rookiewizard** · 11-07-2011, 05:46 PM

How do I know if I have the appropriate drivers? I'm downloading the framework to my computer right now.

**jondevere** · 11-07-2011, 05:59 PM

You need the drivers for your phone.... thats the appropriate drivers............

That package you linked to roots and installs Xionia CWMA recovery in one operation. It includes scripts to unroot and go back to stock recovery. From what Drew described, this one is designed to be device neutral so doesn't flash the recovery. The other obvious difference is text vs GUI. Both will get the job done.

^ This is a darn good comparison.

so every time i try to use the utility it asks me to reboot my device so i do that then another message comes up saying unhandled exception has occurred in your appication. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

file not found

and yes i have all the pre stuff downloaded... i am pretty sure.

You probably don't have .NET Framework 4 installed, but you may have an outdated (previous) version of the .NET Framework. It was definitely tested on several "virgin" computers (ones that had no development tools of any kind).

If you are 100% positive you have .NET Framework 4 installed, can you please post a screenshot of the error?

**hawks4ever8** · 11-09-2011, 01:09 AM

when i tryed to install the .NET Framework 4 it said repair or remove and that means i already have it right. i will work on getting the screen shot of the error.

If you can post that screenshot that would be most helpful. It's not easy to fix an issue I can't replicate.

**hawks4ever8** · 11-09-2011, 01:30 AM

ok here is the screen shot

**drewwalton19216801** · 11-09-2011, 08:58 AM

Can you please list all the files that are in the main Sons of Korhal folder?

Edit: never mind, I figured out the issue. Fix will be issued soon.

Edit 2: Fixed version has been released. Please check the first post for download details.
